A tragedy last year where six dogs died while being kept in a sweltering truck has more people reaching for the phone when they see animals left in vehicles.
Kim Marosevich, Surrey’s bylaw business operations manager, said reaction to the so-called “Brookswood Six” incident has her eight-member staff hopping.
In May 2014, Delta dog walk-er Emma Paulsen reported that six dogs in her care had been stolen from her truck while it was parked at the Brookswood off-leash dog park in Langley, while she had briefly left them unattended when she went to the washroom. Her story spurred a large community search for the missing pets.
About a week later, however, Paulsen admitted the dogs had actually died in her hot vehicle, which was parked in Richmond. She eventually led police to a ditch in Abbotsford where the dead dogs were dumped.
A necropsy done by the SPCA confirmed the animals died of
heat exhaustion. Among the six canines which died was her family’s border collie.
The case became known as the “Brookswood Six” and sparked public outrage. Paulsen was sentenced to six months in
jail in January.According to Marosevich,
the incident has seemed to have prompted more people to contact the city when they see animals left alone in cars, saying there has been a huge
spike in calls.“We started getting calls in
February for ‘hot dog in car’,” Marosevich said. “Obviously the temperatures in February were not such that there was any real risk to the animals,
but the reality is (the Brook-swood Six incident has) be-come a real flash point for the community.”

Elementary students at Surrey’s Khalsa School have launched their study of science into outer space.
Grade 6 science teacher Sunita Jasrotia recently applied to have her students participate in “Tomatosphere,” a program designed to help students investigate the eff ects of space on the growth of food that will inevitably support long-term space travel.
Th e students were given two sets of tomato seeds, one that has been exposed to a space-like environment, meaning -80 C for at least 22 months, and one set that has been exposed to normal conditions on Earth.
Th e students then planted each set of seeds in diff erent contain-ers without knowing the origin of the seeds and recorded the rate of germination to see what, if any, eff ect the space environment had on the germination and growth of the plants.
Tomatoes are an extremely popular plant in space, providing food and oxygen, purifying water through the evaporation from their leaves, and removing carbon dioxide.
Th e experiment will help scientists decide which types of seeds are best suited for space travel where availability and physical space are often a challenge.
“I heard about the opportuni-ty through a program off ered at UBC called Science Fun Chal-lenge and Let’s Talk Science,” said Jasrotia. “So it was part of that teacher collaborative program.”
Th e students are currently at the stage where they are counting how many seeds from each group have germinated, as well as recording the room temperature.

More people have been charged in connec-tion with a rash of shootings over the last two months in Surrey and Delta.
Police named two more people who have been charged, including Pardip Brar, who faces 12 charges, and Rajvir Sunner (four charges).
Arman Dhatt was arrested in Delta in March and faces 19 separate charges.
Th e information came out Tuesday as police indicated they continue to chip away at two groups they say are responsible for half of the 30 shootings in Surrey and Delta since March 9.
Th e Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU-BC), Surrey Mounties and Delta Police are involved in several enforcement and covert operations in order to identify witnesses, increase intelligence and disrupt illegal activities of the groups involved.
In addition, during the enforcement opera-tions, 40 vehicles failed to stop for police.
Police offi cers don’t pursue fl eeing vehicles when it is deemed that doing so could endan-ger the public. On one occasion, a CFSEU-BC marked car was rammed by a suspect vehicle to avoid the traffi c stop.
Police believe 15 of the shootings are a result of two groups running dial-a-dope operations (drug delivery by phone) – groups Mounties describe as being of South Asian and Somalian descent. Th e violence is believed to be due to a turf war over the drug trade.
Meanwhile, the victims of the shootings remain uncooperative, police say.
Despite the challenges, police say they are having some success. Since April 1, police have checked 499 vehicles, issued 198 tickets, and seized 21 cars and 13 weapons, along with $23,730 in cash.
A dedicated tip line was also launched to gather information about the shootings. To date, there have been 131 calls to the tip line, with 14 being of high value to the investiga-tions.
Police ask anyone with information on any of the shootings to call the tip line at 604-915-6566.

Th e province commis-sioned a design review by consultants R. F. Bin-nie and Associates, who found there’s little that can be easily done to reduce the probability of crashes besides getting trucks to slow down.
Because of the design, it said, trucks coming downhill on Highway 17 to turn left onto the connector risk overturn-ing if they’re going more than 26 km/h.
“Th e ultimate long term solution would be to replace the intersec-
tion with a grade-sepa-rated facility,” the report says. “Th is is a very costly solution and construction of an interchange would only be considered if the preceding recommenda-tions are not eff ective.”
Th e transportation ministry already put up signs warning of the truck rollover risk and posted a 20 km/h advisory speed limit on two of the intersection
approaches. No more
trucks have rolled since that signage went up last fall.
Th at could be supplemented if necessary with electronic or fl ashing speed warn-ing signs, the report said.
Th e review found the design of the intersec-tion is “generally com-pliant” with established engineering guidelines, although the four per cent grade is steeper
than the maximum desirable grade of three per cent.
Excessive speed is the main factor in truck rollovers, it said, particularly as trucks turn from the 80-km/h SFPR (Highway 17) to the 60-km/h Highway 91 Connector.
Delta Police Acting
Sgt. Sarah Swallow said slowing to 20 km/h to make the turn safely is a challenge for truckers approaching the inter-section on a green light.
“Slow down and then slow down some more,” she advised, adding trucks’ loads can shift and cause them to fl ip if a driver brakes too fast.
Th e $1.26-billion SFPR was opened in 2012 as Highway 17.
Th e Highway 91 Connector intersection is one of three intersec-tions that the province opted to build on the SFPR with traffi c lights rather than on- and off -ramps as a cost-sav-ing measure, despite
predictions that making trucks stop at red lights would slow traffi c on the route.
“It’s too bad that interchange was not built when the road was built,” Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said. “It will have to be done eventu-ally. It’s just a question of when.”
After 22 days the results will be submitted online and the class will be told which seeds are which. Th en in the second stage of the experi-ment, the students will start to record the size and general health of the plants and submit that data as well.
“We have been watering the seeds every day and recording the growth and temperature,” said Shubhdeep Kaur Athwal.
“I’m hoping that this project is successful and
we can help the scientists out because I would like to be an astronaut.”
Classmate Prabhdeep Singh Atwal believes this experiment is signifi cant because with the pop-ulation of Earth increasing rapidly, humans will need to make plans for future generations which could mean living in space.
“We need to know if we can grow food up there,” he said.
Although Prabhdeep was fascinated by the ex-periment, he didn’t see space travel in his future.
“My dad has a trucking company. I think I’ll take that over.”

Elections BC says it has now received and screened 616,519 Met-ro Vancouver transit referendum ballots from 39.5 per cent of registered voters.
The breakdown of returned ballots shows the count has sur-passed November’s mu-nicipal election turnout in most municipalities. (See story on our web-site at surreyleader.com for interactive charts).
Spokesman Don Main said Elections BC has caught up in processing incoming ballots and no longer has a significant backlog to work through.
The latest numbers come as a final push is on by both the Yes and No camps in the Metro Vancouver transit plebiscite to ensure every voter gets a ballot.
Some residents may not have received ballot
packages because they misplaced or lost them or they didn’t receive one for other reasons, such as an address change.
Midnight on Friday May 15 is the deadline to ask Elections BC for a new one by calling 1-800-661-8683.
Ballots can also be requested up until May 15 at one of nine Elections BC plebiscite offices in Metro Vancouver, where voting can also be done on the spot. (For locations and hours see http://www.elections.bc.ca/plebiscite/where.

Referendum participation now nears 40 per cent
More than 616,000 transit referendum ballots have now been mailed back to Elections BC and gone through initial screening. JEFF NAGEL
It’s good, she said, that people are now aware of the danger.
“For years, we’ve been telling people that there are some really horrifi c consequences to this behaviour,” she said, adding many people dismissed the warnings.
Th e tragedy of the Brookswood Six changed attitudes.
“Th at situation blew it up for everyone,” she said.
While Marosevich said it’s great there is more awareness of the issue, she would prefer people just didn’t leave their animals in cars.
Jas Rehal, Surrey’s manager of bylaws, said dogs are allowed to be kept in a vehicle as long as there is adequate ventilation and suffi -cient water.
Th e city has the ability to hand out fi nes for leaving animals in cars, but the reality is, by the time a complaint is registered, the car is usually gone.
If the complainant notes the licence plate of the car, the city will send out a warning
to the off ending dog owner.
If bylaw offi cers get there in time, Marosev-ich says they try to talk with the owner about the dangers of leaving an animal in the car.
“We haven’t seen a situation where we fi nd an animal in distress, but we don’t want to get there,” Marosevich said.
Th e fi ne for leaving an animal in a vehicle without suffi cient venti-lation or water is $500.
Marosevich said bylaw offi cers are not permitted to break into a vehicle to remove an animal, adding that’s an issue for the police or SPCA.
She noted that it leaves her offi cers – who are all animal lovers – in the awful position of
not being able to do anything for a pet in distress.
In a severe case, they can call the police to manage it.
“It’s going to be a big issue this year,” Marosevich said. “I foresee it really being a lot of pressure on our staff .”
Th ere are eight animal control offi cers and the department works seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
With the Clover-dale Rodeo on this weekend, Marosevich is expecting to be busy. Marosevich has assigned an offi cer to patrol the rodeo parking lot over the weekend.
“We really want people to make good decisions on their own and not require us to sort of be there to fi nger-wag at them,” she said. “We want to make sure people do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do for their pets.”
Th e number for Surrey’s bylaw de-partment is 604-591-4370.

Th e City of Surrey should do all it can to assist Surrey Board of Education in its battle to build schools for the growing student population of the district.
Veteran Trustee Laurae Mc-Nally, who has seen this movie dozens of times, urged fellow trustees to seek a meeting with city council about rapid growth and the urgent need for more space for students.
McNally fi rst decided to run for trustee back in the early 1980s precisely because of this issue. At that time, there was severe overcrowding in some South Surrey schools and she and other parents proved to the board of the day that the district was not properly planning for growth.
Planning became far more pre-cise and dozens of new schools have been built in Surrey since that time. However, the city has also grown dramatically. It has grown by more than 300,000 people since McNally was fi rst elected – yet the issue of lack of classroom space continues.
Unfortunately, too much power over this issue had been placed in the hands of the provincial government. School districts have basically no say in making decisions on which capital projects should be funded fi rst. Years ago, they did have more say – but they also had to put capital plans to referendum
for voter approval. Th at system was abolished in the early 1970s, by necessity, because people simply would not come out and vote on the issue.
Th e province is now telling school districts that they need to come up with signifi cant amounts of capital for new projects. Th e problem with this is that growing school districts have little or no capital available to them.
Th e province is trying to keep its own capital costs down, and while that is a responsible ac-tion, it’s pretty hard to justify in areas like Surrey where growth is ongoing and dramatic.
McNally points out that 1,000 new residents move to Surrey each month. Th e birth rate in the two Surrey-area hospitals, Surrey Memorial and Peace Arch, is close to 4,000 per year.
Almost all those babies will be attending Surrey schools within the next fi ve years – as will thou-sands of other kids who parents do not live here today.
Th ere are 6,000 students in portable classrooms in Surrey right now. Th at’s considerably more than are enrolled in many B.C. school districts.
Th e city needs to back the school district for two reasons. One is its own responsibility. Surrey is a pro-development city,
and there are lots of develop-ment projects underway. Th e city is encouraging new resi-dents to move here, but they aren’t getting a fair deal if their kids miss out on some aspects of education because of over-crowding or lack of new school construction.
Th e second reason is that the city has a considerable amount of moral persuasion with the current government. Most, if not all, councillors back the B.C. Liberals, including Education Minister Peter Fassbender, who is the Surrey-Fleetwood MLA. If city council speaks up on this issue, chances are it will be listened to.
Th e provincial government points out that it’s spent about $300 million on capital projects, land and seismic upgrades in Surrey since 2001. However, capital spending needs to con-tinue at a steady level.
McNally is taking her title of trustee seriously. As one entrust-ed to look out for the education needs of Surrey students, she believes it is imperative to do everything possible to improve their education. Th at includes building new schools and fund-ing additions in a timely fashion.

Congratulations to letter writer Jan Crawford for voicing what we all feel (“No value for tax dollars,” May 8).
I for one am tired of constantly having to see ads from Stephen Harper patting the Conservatives and himself on the back for balancing the budget.
It seems people fail to realize that this comes at a cost to 100 per cent of us. Moving money from one fund to another is not the way to do it.
Th ey have continually borrowed from two funds that they never contribute a dime to: CPP and EI are both in jeopardy of going the way of the dodo bird (at least that is what they tell us), so for years they have raised the rates. Th e truth of this is they have borrowed the money from these two funds and placed them in this position.
Th ese funds are employee and employ-er contributions only, yet the govern-ment continues to borrow from them and dictate how much we pay into them.
Hearing recent unemployment fi gures
(which don’t include those on social assistance and those who have given up looking for work), I fail to understand why we are not, as a country, encouraging companies that are in Canada to invest their money here and to put more money into training the people that live here.
Th e government owes their jobs to the people of this country and owes it to each and every one of us to handle the tax dollars we give them as they would their own fi nances and to not spend willy nilly.
Tracie Woodhams, Surrey
I would like to share my concern regarding collection of recycling in Surrey.
Recently I sent my concerns to the city via its website. I did not receive any response. I notifi ed the city about a problem with collecting recycled glass.
Before recycling rules changed, company glass was always accepted in the blue box.
Not anymore. Instead, glass is accepted at “Return-It” locations. But they also refused to take them.
I do not understand. Where we can return glass for recycling? Th e information on this subject is unclear and now is misleading.
Should we throw everything into the regular garbage?

Lower Mainland municipali-ties are collectively demanding authority to regulate medical marijuana dispensaries even though Vancouver is the only city so far actively trying to exert control.
A resolution seeking accep-tance of municipal authority passed a vote of the Lower Mainland Local Government Association (LMLGA) last week, with Surrey delegates opposed.
Pot storefronts have sprung up in several cities but have mostly been beaten back, except in Vancouver, where city council is trying to regulate rather than stamp out the more than 80 local dispensaries.
Surrey Coun. Bruce Hayne, who sits on the LMLGA execu-tive, said medical pot dispensa-ries are a non-issue in his city.
“We don’t have any dispen-saries in Surrey and we’re not looking at licensing any at all,” Hayne said. “If they do spring up they are illegal and we have the recourse to shut them down from there.”
He said municipalities have
been frustrated with the federal government’s medical marijua-na policy, from the previous sys-tem that allowed problematic home grows to the new mail-or-der-only model of commercial producers that “seemed like a reasonable solution” but is now mired in court challenges.
Surrey is policed by the RCMP but the story is similar across the river in New Westminster, where its municipal police force has also taken a no-tolerance stand.
New Westminster Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said one dis-pensary tried to open – initially calling itself an information centre as it sought to clear vari-ous hurdles – but police raided it and the operators were charged with traffi cking.
Vancouver’s policy aims to regulate locations and set a $30,000 licensing fee.
Federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose has urged the city to shift course and shut down dispensaries, warning they send a signal to youth that drug use is normal.
Puchmayr said he supports municipalities having the power to control dispensaries even though his city didn’t consider that viable.
“Our legal opinion in New Westminster was that it was quite clearly not a permissible
use,” he said. “Van-couver’s obviously interpreting it dif-ferently. And in do-ing so they’ve seen this proliferation in medical marijuana dispensaries and therefore they’re asking for some regulatory help from senior levels of government.”
Housing, mental health at forefront
Problems related to homelessness, housing aff ord-ability and mental health inspired several resolutions from councils in Maple Ridge, Langley, Delta and the Fraser Valley Regional District.
Resolutions approved by LMLGA delegates included calls for higher rent subsidies for people on income assistance, more housing aid for mentally challenged adults, and that the federal government re-introduce tax incentives to build rental housing.
Puchmayr and Hayne both
said cities are fac-ing higher costs as police time is spent dealing with the mentally ill, who aren’t getting the support they need from the health system.
“We’re getting crushed and we simply can’t do it alone,” Hayne said.
“We need a national strategy on homelessness, particularly on housing, and we need the provincial government to step up in a big way on mental health and addictions.”
Another resolu-tion that passed in a close vote was Richmond’s call for B.C. to enact an environmental bill of rights giving each resident a
right to a healthy environment, clean air, clean water, clean food and vibrant ecosystems.
Hayne and many other dele-gates who opposed it felt it was outside municipal jurisdiction.

Gordon Alexander David was taken into custody by Vancou-ver Police on Tuesday without incident after a Canada-wide warrant was issued for his arrest.
He was located on Granville Street in Van-couver.
David is fac-ing charges of manslaughter and aggra-vated assault in relation to the alleged homicide of his wife, 23-year-old Cady Quaw, and the assault of another woman.
Th e women were found injured Sunday in what police are saying was a domestic dispute at a home near 140 Street
and 94 Avenue. Quaw succumbed to her injuries.
IHIT is asking anyone who may have information to call the IHIT tipline by calling 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or email at [email protected]
If you wish to remain anony-mous provide your anony-
mous tip information on the web at solvecrime.ca or by phone at 1-800-222-8477.
Many of the resolutions go on to the provincial civ-ic leaders’ forum – the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in the fall – in search of province-wide endorsement.
Resolution round-up
Among the resolutions passed at LMLGA:• Richmond wants the federal government to force
Port Metro Vancouver to sell recently purchased agricultural land, including the 229-acre Gilmore farm, and prohibit the port and its subsidiaries from buying any more ALR land in Metro Vancouver for port purposes.
• Delta wants the province to broaden the scope of environmental impact assessments for projects that may have impacts away from their footprint, such as the eff ects of port expansion projects further inland.
• Vancouver is calling for senior governments to include and fund the participation of municipalities in planning for spills of oil and other hazardous substances.
• New Westminster wants B.C.’s now-frozen carbon tax to start increasing again in 2018 by $50 per tonne each year, equivalent to about one cent a litre.
• West Vancouver proposed to require climate change warning labels on all gas pump handles.
• Th at the province delay the planned closure of the Burrard Th ermal natural gas power station pending a review of the rationale.

A new poll of voters in B.C. puts the fed-eral New Democrats six points head of the Conservatives as the fall federal election campaign approaches, and 10 points up on the third-place Liberals in this province.
Th e new Insights West online poll pegs NDP support at 35 per cent of decided voters in B.C., followed by 29 per cent for the Conservatives, 25 per cent for the Lib-erals and 10 per cent for the Greens Party.
Th at’s a major drop in
Tory support since the 2011 federal election, when the governing par-ty took 21 out of 36 B.C. seats with 45.5 per cent of the vote. (Th e NDP got 12 seats with 32.5 per cent, the Liberals got two seats with 13.4 per cent and the Greens got 7.5 per cent, electing leader Elizabeth May.)
Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco said federal Lib-erals have rebounded in B.C. under leader Justin Trudeau, but added it may not be enough for them to be competitive in more than a couple of ridings.
“Th e seat calculation makes this a lot tougher for the Liberals,” he said. “You may be a closer third-place fi nisher than in the last election, but you’re still a third-place fi nisher.”
Th e poll found NDP leader Th omas Mul-cair has the strongest approval score, ahead of Trudeau and May.
But more B.C. voters name Stephen Harper as the best choice for
prime minister com-pared to other leaders, except on Vancouver Island, where Mulcair leads.
“Th e voting numbers point to an erosion of Conservative support among key demograph-ics, particularly voters over the age of 55,” Canseco said.
Th e race is tight in Metro Vancouver, where the poll found the Conservatives and NDP are tied with 32 per cent support of decided voters, followed by 27 per cent for the Liberals and seven per cent for
the Greens.On Vancouver Island,
however, the NDP have a huge lead with 47 per cent support, followed by the Greens at 20 per cent, the Liberals at 19 per cent and the Con-servatives at 14.
Elsewhere in B.C., the NDP leads with 36 per cent to 32 per cent for the Conservatives and 22 per cent leaning Liberal.
Poll respondents in Metro Vancouver said the most important issue was the economy and jobs, while slightly
more on Vancouver Is-land and the rest of B.C. instead listed govern-ment accountability.
Harper and the Con-servatives scored best on their handling of the economy, foreign aff airs and crime, Canseco said, but poorly on poverty and homelessness, gov-ernment accountability, the environment and the handling of energy and pipelines.
Th e poll surveyed 814 B.C. residents from May 7-9, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 per cent.

In both Canada and the United States, the relatively recent laws controlling the use of electronic communications devices while
driving are enacted on a province-by-province, state-by-state basis. All Canadian provinces and territories now have such laws; this past week, Oklahoma was the latest to join 45 other US states and Washington DC in enacting such laws, eff ective in that state in November 2015.
‘Cellphone driving’ and ‘texting-while-driving’ laws are provincial or state-based rules, and there are enough diff erences to make generalizing about them diffi cult. Some states, for example, ban texting while driving without banning talking on a hand held cell phone while driving. Fines and penalties vary from province to province and state to state.
Th at said, however, certain generalizations about this relatively new area of driving safety are emerging as useful guides for every driver whatever provincial or state borders he or she is driving within or crossing. Th e foremost is that, beyond cell phone talking or texting, any distracted driving behaviour increases the risk for crashing: eating, drinking, reading, hairdressing, applying make-up, selecting music, radio-tuning, child-minding, pet-minding, conversing, etc.
And yet the allure of ‘your car’ as ‘your road castle’, your living room or dining room or offi ce or entertainment centre on four wheels is more than an irresistible phantasmagoria. Car designers and manufacturers have purposefully designed and marketed your
vehicle to provide this extra ‘functionality’. It takes vigilance to stay focused on what should be every driver’s number one goal: to pay attention to the road.
Driving while talking on a cell phone or texting is, however, proving to be amongst the riskiest distracted driving behaviours. Th ere are many reasons for this. Young drivers are inexperienced drivers but habitual cell phone users. Habitual behaviours are hard to control. Driving inexperience can translate into miscalculations of speed and distance travelled. Reportedly, studies show that cellphone talking and texting take the ‘longest mind/eyes-off -the-road time of all distracted driving activities.’
We are also told that studies show that fi ve seconds is the minimal time in which texting and driving distracts from road focus. In fi ve seconds, at 88.5 kph (55 mph), a vehicle travels the length of a football fi eld.
Th e important distinction in the laws as they are currently written between hands-free and hand-held usage is not substantiated in the “studies”. Either way, talking on the phone takes your mind off the road.
Enforcement of these new laws is diffi cult and, even though when surveyed, most drivers say texting and driving is socially unacceptable, more than 20 percent also admit to doing it anyway. Most people would say both behaviours are prevalent.
Most people expect no legal consequences for non-compliance. Real consequences, can, however, be horrifi c beyond wildest imagining. Hence the need, not to worry about mastering the details of the rules but rather to remember this simple general rule: Don’t ever text while driving, even when stopped at a stoplight. If you must use your phone, to comply with the laws in the majority of jurisdictions use it ‘hands-free’ and be brief.

Surrey RCMP are launching a second set of neighbourhood safety forums at area schools, hoping to further engage commu-nities.
In January, Mount-ies kicked off the Neighbourhood Safety Campaign to help com-munities mobilize and better enhance their own safety.
Th e fi rst series of forums was attended by more than 500 resi-dents.
“For crime prevention to be truly eff ective, it requires a coordinated eff ort between resi-dents and police,” said Staff Sgt. Scott Camp-bell. “We are looking forward to connecting with more residents and addressing crime concerns in those areas.”
Each neighbourhood
safety presentation provides residents with information on local crime trends, current policing initiatives, property crime, and how to report crime and suspicious activi-ty. Attendees will also learn how they can play a role in crime preven-tion.
Upcoming sessions
are as follows:• Bridgeview Elemen-
tary, 12834 115A Ave., May 20 at 6:30 p.m.
• George Greenaway Elementary, 17285 61A Ave., May 21 at 6:30 p.m.

A Surrey man has been awarded $16,000 for harassment and slurs he faced when he worked at
a local grocery store.Th e B.C. Human
Rights Tribunal ruled that Kyle Garneau was discriminated against by the owner and his sons
at the Buy-Rite Foods that was formerly on Scott Road.
Garneau started work-ing at Buy-Rite in March 2001, working at various times at two diff erent locations. His human rights complaint was based on incidents that took place between May 2012 and August 2014 at the store at 9528 120 St. (Scott Rd.), owned by Shingara Sumal.
Garneau said when Sumal and his sons took ownership of the store in 2008, he told them about a birth defect/brain abnormality that aff ects him physically and mentally. He said Sumals two sons, Sutej and Inder, also perceived him to be gay.
Garneau said he was called “faggot,” “idiot,” “retard,” and other de-grading names regularly. Often, the unprovoked comments were made in front of customers and made him feel “less than human,” he said.
He claimed he was also physically assaulted by Inder on at least two oc-casions, and that he took his bike and cellphone.
Th e Sumals did not respond to any of the accusations and chose not to participate in the tribunal hearing last month. Th e Buy-Rite location closed last year.
“I fi nd Mr. Garneau was mistreated and bul-lied primarily because he was seen as weak and vulnerable, but that his physical and mental disabilities and per-ceived sexual orientation were signifi cant factors in the treatment he experienced,” wrote tri-bunal member Parnesh Sharma in the May 5 decision.
“It is apparent that the Sumals had little regard for Mr. Garneau and undoubtedly saw him as someone who could be mistreated with impunity. I fi nd this treatment to have aff ected him profoundly and adversely.”
While Sharma said the two sons were largely to blame, the father, as owner and operator of the store, failed to ensure the workplace was safe and harassment free.
Th e tribunal awarded $15,000 to Garneau for damages for injury to dignity, feelings and self-respect and $936 for lost wages.
He was also seeking compensation for the loss of his home ($174,000) and car ($6,000), which was denied.

Police are looking to connect the ashes of a loved one with family, after an urn was found in a Surrey park two weeks ago.
On Sunday, May 3, a hiker called Surrey RCMP after fi nding an urn lying in Green Timbers Urban Forest.
It was found a short distance off a main
trail near the north-west corner of the lake, and south of the main entrance in the 14400-block of 100 Avenue.
Th e urn is white and
has no distinguishable marks on it.
“If you recognize this urn or know who it
belongs to, please con-tact the Surrey RCMP,” said RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann. “I’m sure if we could return the urn to its rightful owner it would be a great relief to them and their family.”
Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502. Quote fi le #2015-60901.
Do you recognize this urn?

An 84-year-old man is dead after being struck while out walking near a Surrey
elementary school on Th ursday, May 7.
Surrey RCMP say they received a report of a possible hit-and-run in the 6900-block of 142 Street at about 11 a.m. When police arrived, said Sgt. Dale Carr, they found a man in “severe medical distress.”
Th e senior was trans-ported to hospital, where he died from his injuries.
While the driver initially left the scene, said Carr, they re-turned shortly after, having realized they’d struck someone.
He said it appeared the driver was revers-ing when the man was hit.
Th e car was seized and the driver is co-operating with the in-vestigation. Excessive speed is not considered to be a factor in what police are calling a tragic “accident.”
Anyone who wit-nessed the incident and hasn’t spoken to police is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

Th e Surrey School District has won an international award for its innovative use of technology in educa-tion.
Th e International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), a non-profi t organiza-tion serving more than 100,000 educators around the world, has announced Surrey has won the 2015 Syl-via Charp Award for District Innovation in Technology. Surrey was the only district to be named an award winner by the Virgin-ia-based organization this year.
Presented by ISTE and T.H.E. Journal, the award recognizes a school system for exhibiting eff ective-ness and innovation in the application of technology.
“Surrey School Dis-trict is honoured for focusing its technology planning on transfor-mative learning with the student at the cen-tre,” ISTE said. “All of the district’s technolo-gy decisions are made in the service of the needs of learners and educators with a com-mitment to ensuring all students can learn on any device, anytime, anywhere.”
Th e district’s eff orts to become more tech-nologically innovative began more than 10 years ago with staff installing the infra-structure allowing teachers and students to use technology in the learning process. Educators were then encouraged to explore using technology and share their experienc-es.
“Our district sup-ports networks of edu-cators who have great strength in inquiring, challenging conven-tional thinking, and sharing and supporting each other,” said Surrey Supt. Jordan Tinney.

Tech award for Surrey schools
As was widely expected, on Wednesday April 15, 2015 Th e Bank of Canada announced that it is maintaining its target for the overnight rate at 3/4 per cent. Th e Bank Rate is correspondingly 1 per cent and the deposit rate is 1/2 per cent. Core infl ation, at 2 percent, is a refl ection of the dampening eff ects of a slowing economy off set by the pass through eff ects of the lower dollar.
Th e Bank is hopeful that global growth will strengthen in coming months to 3-1/2 percent—consistent with their forecast in January’s Monetary Policy Report (MPR)—as a direct result of central bank rate cuts and quantitative easing in Europe. Lower commodity prices will boost growth in some countries. Th e Bank also believes that strong growth will resume in the United States after a weak fi rst quarter, which, of course, has yet to be confi rmed.
First quarter growth in Canada has been revised downward to 0.0 percent in the April MPR (from 1.5 percent growth in
the January MPR); however, the second quarter is expected to see a rebound to 1.8 percent growth, revised up from earlier expectation. Th e Bank continues to assert that, “Underneath the eff ects of the oil price shock, the
natural sequence of stronger non-energy exports, increasing investment, and improving labour markets is progressing.” Th is will be aided by an improvement in the U.S. economy and the easing in fi nancial conditions.
Th ere remains a good deal of
uncertainty in this sequence: While March employment in Canada improved substantially, business investment remains disappointing, manufacturing is weak—especially in the auto sector—and the improvement in trade has been less than expected.
Real GDP growth is projected to rebound in the second quarter and subsequently strengthen to average about 2 1/2 per cent on a quarterly basis until the middle
of 2016. Th e Bank expects real GDP growth of 1.9 per cent in 2015, 2.5 per cent in 2016, and 2.0 per cent in 2017.
Th e Bank also believes the risks to the outlook are balanced, an upgrade since the last policy meeting in March. As a result of this view, they judge that the current degree of monetary stimulus is appropriate and have left rates unchanged.
I am cautiously optimistic that the Bank has got it right, but I continue to believe that the risks are on the downside for the economy and infl ation. My forecast for Canadian growth this year is 1.5 percent--below the Bank’s 1.9 percent forecast. Much hinges on the U.S. economy. Th e April MPR revised down its U.S. growth forecast for this year from 3.2 percent to 2.7 percent.
Bank of Canada Remains On Hold With Hopes of Economic Rebound
Responding to recent news reports about the IMF warning of an overheated Canadian housing market, the Chief Economist for Dominion Lending Centres, Sherry Cooper, says the prospect of a soft landing is good news for homeowners, “there is no doubt that letting some steam out of the boiling markets is a good thing because were prices to rise rapidly for too long, a nasty correction would be likely.”
Cooper, one of North America’s most respected economic experts, points out that existing home sales were down 2 percent year-over-year in January, but were still up moderately outside of Alberta. Later data suggests that in February, sales rose month-over-month as gains in Toronto and Vancouver offset faltering markets in other parts of the country. More recently, Sales of existing homes in Canada rose in March from February, led by gains in the big Toronto and Vancouver markets. Sales were even up in Calgary where sales had slowed in recent months in the wake of the oil price decline.
“With home ownership at a record high of 70 percent of households and interest rates at record lows, national sales growth will stabilize at a modest pace,” says Cooper. “However, steady demand from immigrants and non-resident purchasers in Toronto and Vancouver should continue to support housing markets. In addition, Millennials are in their fi rst-time home-buying years. While many might be priced out of the single-family home market, many will take the plunge into condos.”
On the supply side, housing starts and completions are down and are now trending slightly above household formation rates. Taking replacement demand into consideration, the current pace of overall home construction is at appropriate levels to meet long-run demand. We have also seen evidence of a recent increase in dedicated rental housing construction as institutional investors are providing increased funding in this long-overlooked area of the housing market. Condos have effectively replaced traditional apartment units and are an affordable alternative for those who are priced out of Toronto’s detached housing market. Rental vacancy rates remain at extreme lows in Vancouver and Toronto.
Cooper says the bottom line is that there is little evidence of an upcoming U.S.-style housing crash anywhere in Canada, even in the hardest hit energy-centered markets.

Playing against the league’s fi rst-place team, the Whalley Chiefs will take a split of a rare midweek dou-bleheader.
Th e Chiefs hosted the Langley Blaze Tues-day night at Whalley Stadium, and lost the fi rst game 8-3 before posting a 5-1 victory in the second contest.
Th e Blaze remain atop
the B.C. Premier Baseball League standings with a 13-4 (won-loss) record, while the Chiefs are in eighth place at 8-11.
A fi ve-run fi fth inning cost the Chiefs in the fi rst game. While trailing 2-1, the visiting team took advantage of a pair of doubles, a walk and an error to score fi ve unearned runs.
Langley had 12 hits off a pair of Whalley pitchers, while the Chiefs totalled nine hits. Th omas Espig, Max Williams and Braeden Massignani each had a pair of hits
for the Chiefs, with Espig driving in a pair of scores.
In the second game, the Chiefs scored three times in the bottom of the fi rst inning and then rode the pitching of Alex DeLuca to a win.
Lichel Hirakawa-Kao and Espig drew walks to the start the fi rst inning, then Lucas Soper was hit by a pitch to load the bases.
Massignani singled to drive in Hira-ka-wa-Kao, then a wild pitch allowed Espig to score. Soper went home on a single by Spencer
Gatzke, who was called up from the Junior Chiefs squad.
DeLuca allowed one earned run on seven
hits and a walk, striking out 10 Blaze batters.
Th e Chiefs will play two more double head-ers this weekend, start-
ing with a pair of games tonight (Friday) against the 3-16 White Rock Tritons at the South Surrey Athletic Park.
Th e 13-5 Victoria Ea-gles will be the visitors for a pair of games at 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Sun-day at Whalley Stadium.

For most players, playing in the RBC Cup is a once in a lifetime achievement.
Not so for Demico Hannoun, who is playing in his third consecutive Junior A national cham-pionship tournament, while with his third B.C. Hockey League team in as many seasons.
Th e 19-year-old North Delta native is in Por-tage la Prairie, Manitoba this week, skating with the Penticton Vees at the fi ve-team tournament. He has a pair of assists in three games.
Hannoun was with the Vernon Vipers last season, a team which hosted the RBC Cup and was elimi-nated in a semifi nal game. In 2013, he was with the Surrey Eagles in Summerside, Prince Edward Island. Th e Eagles also lost in the semifi nal round.
“Hopefully third time is the charm,” said Hannoun in a Hockey Canada release. “I think it does actu-ally haunt my dreams.”
Penticton won two of its fi rst three games in the round robin of the RBC Cup, and was in fi rst place heading into its fi nal game yesterday. Th e top four teams will face-off in semifi nal games tomorrow (Saturday), with the championship game set for Sun-day evening.
After a 3-2 loss to the host Portage Terriers Saturday, the Vees blanked the Melfort Mustangs of Saskatch-ewan on Sunday. Penticton then edged the Carlton Place Canadians on Tuesday afternoon.
Traded to the Vees in the off season, Hannoun had a career-best regular season, netting 23 goals. He also enjoyed his best-ever post-season with the Vees, scoring eight goals and 21 points in 22 games
played. But its more than off ense that
Hannoun contributes to the team, says Vees head coach Fred Harbin-son.
“Our veterans have played in key situations and Demico is defi nitely one of those guys,” said Harbinson. “He can be one of the best players on the ice when he wants to be and hopefully we will see the best parts of his game this week.
“He knows what to expect and hopefully he can lead the rest of the boys.”

Rated as the num-ber-one prospect in the Canadian Football League (CFL) Draft, Surrey’s Christian Covington didn’t have his name called until the fifth round.
The defensive line-man was drafted 43rd overall by the B.C. Lions Tuesday night, who took a chance with their selection. Two weeks ago, Cov-ington was drafted in the sixth round of the National Foot-ball League Draft by the Houston Texans and will attempt to crack their roster this season.
“I’m looking to play
football. My dream is to play professional football,” Covington said before the two drafts. “My dream just so happens to be the NFL.”
The son of CFL Hall of Famer Grover Cov-ington, Christian has played at Rice Univer-sity in Houston, Texas
for the past three seasons. Last year, he had 20 tackles including three sacks in seven games before a
knee injury ended his junior season.
Covington hasn’t ruled out following in his father’s footsteps and playing in Can-ada, but adds he will make every attempt to build a career in the United States.
“I know who my dad was. I know what type of league the CFL is, and I have a lot of respect for the CFL,” he said. “I have
old classmates and teammates who play in the CFL.
“If at the end of the day, the NFL doesn’t work out for me, I have that to go back to.”

Taking a Touareg of the Sierra Nevada mountains
Driving through spectacular Spanish scenery shows the capability the Touareg SUV
‘‘The TDI version delivers amazing power; it uses up to 25 percent less fuel and has amazing resale value.’’Zack Spencer
Malaga Spain -Southern Spain isn’t a place one gets to quickly, especially from the west coast of Canada. Trekking across the Atlantic Ocean, arriving late in Frankfurt with only 40 minutes to connect to our flight to Malaga, resulted in a dash though the airport. Slumping into my seat, sweaty and tired I awoke a half hour before landing looking out the window at the Sierra Nevada mountain range, the location of our off-road experience the following day. Volkswagen has what they call “Driving Experiences” in far-flung places like Spain, Morocco, Switzerland, Norway and Sweden, getting to drive the Touareg SUV through spectacular scenery and experience the true capability of this vehicle. The two-day adventure our group was on was a condensed version of the four-day experience the public can book. The cost is 2,300 Euros ($3,115), which includes the vehicle, fuel, food and transfers for the full four days but not airfare. When you break it down by the day, it’s rather good value.Our TDI clean diesel Touareg featured a leather interior and
navigation, almost identical to our Canadi-an spec versions with one difference. This vehicle had an adjustable air suspension to raise or lower the vehicle depending on the road surface. All our off road driving was done as close to the ride-height of the passive springs and shocks used in the Canadian spec trucks.For the first leg, we drove on the highway to the city of Granada, an hour away. The group was excited to visit the World Heritage Site of the Alhambra (The Red Castle). This stunning site dates back to roughly 800 BC but the structure seen today has roots in the 14th century. The next day was the business day, with 290 km of off-road driving, making our way through the Sierra Nevada Mountains, back to Malaga. The eight identically equipped
Touareg SUVs were quite a sight travelling through the small villages and towns carved into the mountainside. The forested section was similar to driving in British Columbia.The driving was slow because there were three TV crews on this adventure, including myself from Driving Television. Having to stop and take video held the whole group up, but
it made for some stunning shots. The Touareg TDI is the perfect choice for this challenge or any average commute. The 3.0L turbocharged engine has 240hp but a whopping 406 lb.-ft. of torque. And torque is what you need for crawling over rocks and splashing through rivers, but it also makes driving this large five-pas-senger SUV a breeze even in city situations. On the short highway stages we experienced, the TDI cruised effortlessly at over 120 km/h. After lunch, the group headed out again into the canyons and rugged landscape. As we pulled into Malaga after 12 hours behind the wheel of the 2015 Touareg, I have come to appreciate it all over again. This is a premium VW offering, starting at $53,965. The TDI is the one to get. Not that the regular gasoline is a bad choice; rather, the TDI diesel is a better choice. The TDI version delivers amazing power; it uses up to 25 per cent less fuel and has amazing resale value. The 2015 model gets a slight facelift, so slight I’d have a hard time pointing out the changes, but this SUV is about what it can do, not how flashy it is. If you would like to find out more about taking part in your own VW adventure, go to www-volkswagen-driving-ad-venture.de to find out more. Next time, Morocco sounds like fun…Write to [email protected]
