THE LIKELIHOOD of their sport no longer being part of the Summer Olympic Games leaves one big question hanging in the local wres-tling community.
Why?“I think it’s politics, it has to be,” said Mark McRae, a former high
school wrestler and a current coach with Guildford Park Secondary. “I don’t think anyone with a straight face can tell you (wrestling) shouldn’t be in the Olympics. It is one of the original sports in the
Olympic movement, it’s a sacred sport.”� e executive committee of the International Olympic Committee
(IOC) stunned the sports world earlier this month, voting to omit wrestling from the list of sports to be part of the 2020 Summer Olym-pic Games. � e move must still be rati� ed by the IOC membership, but many see that as a foregone conclusion.
Wrestling has been a part of the modern Olympics since 1904, and was one of the original sports in the ancient Olympic Games in Greece going back to 700 BC.
Loss of ‘sacred sport’ from Games stuns local wrestlers

EVEN AS he was walking into the Surrey courthouse – nearly two months a� er being found guilty of
causing a drunken crash that killed a young woman in 2008 – Stephen Jenkins insisted he was not respon-sible for the death.
Later in the a� ernoon on Friday, Judge Paul Dohm sentenced Jenkins to three years in a federal prison.
In December, Dohm found Jenkins, 42, guilty of impaired driv-ing causing death, impaired driving causing bodily harm, dangerous

Carlene Marshall and her son Devin, 20, hold a photo of Marshall’s daughter Lauren, who died last year. The family had their laptop compters stolen last week, along with all the family photos of Lauren.

Guildford family’s memories stolen on Valentine’s Day
by Evan Seal
CARLENE MARSHALL is hoping that the thief who broke into her home on Valentine’s Day has a heart.
After arriving home from work on Thursday, Feb. 14, the Surrey woman noticed her Acer laptop was not on the kitchen table where she had left it.
Nothing in her Guildford townhouse seemed to be disturbed, however the more she searched, the more she began to realize other items were missing, including a small amount of jewelry and two HP netbooks belonging to her daughter Robin and her son Devin.
The loss of the items, especially the computers, is particularly devastating for the Marshall fam-ily, as Carlene’s other daughter Lauren – Robin’s twin sister – committed suicide 14 weeks ago and all her photo-
graphs and poetry are stored on those computers. “Almost all of the photos of my daughter and all of the poetry
she and Robin wrote are on those computers,” said Marshall through tears. “It’s not the computers, it’s the content, so even if they (the thieves) burned the photos and poetry to a disk and
mailed them to me, that would be fine, they already know my address.”
RCMP were able to find good fingerprints at the scene, however Marshall is desperate to retrieve the images.
“All I have are photos on my phone and pho-tographs from the funeral. These are photos i’ll never get back.”
Anyone who has information regarding the computers or the photographs can contact Mar-shall by email at [email protected]
essa Usak and seriously injured her passenger and friend, Andrea Punt.
“I’m innocent,” Jenkins said before his sentencing hearing Friday morn-ing. “I have to go to prison for some-one else screwing up? She (Usak) is the one who caused the accident, not me. Now I’m paying for it.”
Crown prosecutor Susanne Elliott had requested a sentence of between four and � ve years, while defence lawyer Marvin Stern asked for two to three years in prison. Elliott also asked for and received a lifetime driving prohibition, which Jenkins told his lawyer not to dispute.
In his December verdict, Dohm said both Jenkins and Usak were driving while impaired, but that it was Jenkins who crossed the double yellow line and crashed into Usak’s Honda with his van near 144 Street and 108 Avenue on July 19, 2008.
Diana Usak, Vanessa’s mom, read a victim impact statement in court, which talked about her “polite and pretty” daughter, who worked as a longshoreman and had an older sister and younger brother.
“She was the middle child, the glue of the family,” said Diana, adding Vanessa loved to dance and had a beautiful singing voice.
She said nothing short of life in prison would be a just sentence for Jenkins.
“It would help if I thought he was sorry,” Diana said, with dozens of supporters wearing pink and carry-ing pink roses surrounding her.
� e court heard Jenkins was the passenger in a prior crash in 1988 that killed two friends and le� him with a brain injury that caused ongoing intellectual and behavioural problems.
A� er sentencing, his sister Tracey Jenkins said his brain damage is severe and it’s not clear if her brother even understands what has hap-pened. � rough tears, with their sob-bing mom by her side, she said the family never wanted Stephen behind the wheel a� er the life-changing accident in the ’80s.
“He should have never been given a driver’s licence,” said Tracey, adding they were powerless to stop one from being issued.

Athletes, o� cials and administrators are still wondering why a sport that was represented by 40 countries at last summer’s Olympics in London is now being excluded.
“I was shocked, speechless,” said Jaskarn Ranu, a Grade 12 wrestler from Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary. “I woke up one day and went downstairs, and the � rst thing my mom told me was wrestling is out of the Olympics.
“� ey shouldn’t do that. Wrestling was where the Olympics started. Taking out wres-tling is like taking out the 100-metre sprint.”
Daniel Igali, a Surrey resident when he won the gold medal for wrestling at the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Australia, was
also critical of the IOC executive committee’s decision.
“For me, the question is not why wrestling should not be axed from the 2020 Olympic roster,” he said in a statement. “Rather, it should be about how many other sports in the world are as popular, have the same reach in virtually every nation, and are as accessible as wrestling.”
What is certain is that its exclusion will threaten the sport domestically, both in terms of participation and funding.
“� e Own the Podium program funds Olympic sports, and that money comes from the government,” said McRae. “Now you won’t even have it as a (Olympic) sport, so the money will dry up.
“And the only time any of our athletes get any recognition is at the Olympics.”
McRae said the “Olympic dream” is what inspires many wrestlers to train for competition in what is very much an amateur sport at all levels.
Ranu was questioning his future in the sport just prior to � ursday’s Slamfest tournament at Guildford Park Secondary, where he won the gold medal in the 74-kilogram class.
“I can name you 25 other sports that could be taken out,” he said. “People like me are dreaming about 2020. Now, I don’t want to work out anymore, I don’t want to train. In my family, wrestling is a tradition. But knowing it’s not going to be there in 2020, you don’t see any point.
“You have the world championships, but the Olympics are the Olympics. And without 2020, I don’t see the point anymore.”

Heroes and adventure tHis summer at movies under tHe stars
When the sun peaks out from behind the clouds, we start dreaming about sunny days and fun activities we can do outside with our family and friends.
One favourite summer activity is the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association’s Movies Under the Stars presented by Prospera Credit Union. Every August, a large inflatable screen is brought in and for four evenings, Holland Park is transformed into a
“walk-in” outdoor theatre.
“At Christmas time, I had someone approach me asking what movies we were going to show this summer and just this week the topic has come up several times,” laughed Bonnie Burnside, Manager of Special Events for the DSBIA.
Each summer, a theme is chosen and the movies revolve around that theme. Previous themes have been “Musicals”, “Books that
have been turned into Movies” and “It’s an Animated World”.
“Every week, we survey people as they wait for the movie to start. We always ask what movie would they like us to show next summer. The top movie request last year was “Brave” so we hope to show that movie this year,” says Burnside. “Our theme this year is “Heroes and Adventure”.”
Animated films are generally the largest draw but the key is to have movies that are fun, interesting and appropriate for the whole family.
“We have a lot of children under the age of 12 so family-friendly films are key. We have also found that movies should be 100 minutes or less. The movie can’t start until it is dark enough so on a bright sunny day, especially early in August, that could be as late as 9:10pm which makes it a very late night for the little ones,” explained Burnside. “There are often restrictions put on by the film companies so we can’t always show movies that people want.”
The DSBIA is requesting your help to determine which movies should be shown this August. Do you have a favourite, family-friendly movie that fits into the “Heroes and Adventure” theme? You can let them know by sending an email to [email protected].

Surrey will soon be home to another high school, which will take the pressure off over-crowded Clayton Heights Secondary.
The province announced Friday it was committing $10.5 million toward a $16.7-million school in north Clayton. The Surrey School District is funding the remainder.
The province has secured an 18-acre property at 73 Avenue and 184 Street for the school, which is expected to have the capacity for up to 1,200 students.
It will help take some of the pressure off Clayton Heights Secondary (located at 7003 188 St.), which is currently 300 students over capacity.
Karishma Ram, 15,
was delighted with the news, even though she will have graduated by the time the new school is built.
“I’ve been at Clayton Heights (Secondary) for two-and-a-half years now,
and have watched it grow,” Ram told an audience gathered for the announcement in the school’s library Friday. “To find out we’re getting a new school in the area is very exciting.”
Along with the coming high school, the province and district have secured three other sites in Surrey for additional schools at a cost of $35.9 million.
School Board Chair Shawn Wilson said it’s great news that means a great deal to the residents of Surrey.
Wilson later said there are other areas that will need high schools to address overcapacity, includ-ing Grandview, which would take pressure off Earl Marriott Secondary, which is currently 600 students over its limit, and Lord Tweedsmuir, which is 500 students over capacity.
He said he looked forward to having the minister of education back soon for more announcements.

Last Monday was the end for the penny.� at’s when the Royal Canadian Mint stopped shipping
the humble copper-coloured coin to businesses and banks. Until then, the mint was essentially cleaning out its
stockpile, as it hasn’t manufactured new pennies since last May.Of course it will likely take years for the penny to disappear
from circulation altogether, given the millions squirreled away in drawers and tin cans, savings for a rainy day’s small indulgences.
� e mint says eliminating the penny will save $11 million a year.
But as with most things touched by government or its agen-cies, what one hand giveth, the other taketh away.
Businesses large and small will have to bear the cost of adjust-ing their pricing labels and cash registers to re� ect the new pen-niless reality by rounding cash transactions up or down to the nearest nickel. For chains with retail outlets across the country, that could run to hundreds of thousands of dollars. For a mom-and-pop corner store, the expense of getting a technician to reprogram their cash register will likely rank pretty low on their priority list.
Some retailers say they’ll round up, others will round down. Some will leave it to the discretion of their cashiers.
For consumers standing in the checkout line, cash in hand, it’s likely to be a confusing time. A recent poll by Home Depot Canada found 88 per cent of them don’t know the penny is dis-appearing and 41 per cent have no idea how retailers are going to make pricing adjustments.
Oh, and don’t get too used to rounding transactions to the nearest nickel.
One MP says he plans to introduce a private motion to eliminate it next, followed by the quarter, to re-jig Canada’s currency to multiples of 10.

Whether Christy Clark’s govern-ment survives the May election or not, the natural gas “Pros-perity Fund” idea � oated in last
week’s throne speech is a useful one.B.C. is poised to join Alberta in the upper
rank of energy producing jurisdictions, with an expanding network of natural gas col-lection, re� ning and processing into liquid (LNG) for export. Clark’s pre-election throne speech proposed a resource fund similar to Alberta’s Heritage Fund that would be reserved for debt reduction and major proj-ects, rather than spent on programs, which tends to happen under the political pressure of four-year election cycles.
Opposition politicians and media commen-tators have dismissed this as a pre-election stunt. � ey note that the LNG industry in B.C. doesn’t exist yet, and may never produce the hundreds of billions of dollars projected over the next 30 years.
I returned for a visit to B.C.’s northeast earlier this month, and I can tell you the gas boom is real. My parents homesteaded east
of Dawson Creek near the Alberta border in 1962, and I recall when our farm was drilled for gas by Gulf Canada 40 years ago.
Many more gas wells have been drilled since then, and country roads have been widened and numbered for industrial traf-� c. Hydraulic fracturing, already in use when our farm was drilled, has been combined with direc-tional drilling to open up huge new supplies.
A farming community called Montney is the latest hot play, yielding not only shale gas but petroleum liquids, which are valu-able for diluting heavy oil among other things.
B.C. has never seen this kind of international investment interest before. Initial projects have been joined by global players such as British Gas, and Mit-subishi, a key player in Japan’s replacement of its devastated nuclear power program.
Spectra Energy, which operates one of North America’s biggest gas processing plants
at Fort Nelson and has another one under construction nearby, has begun work on a third plant near Dawson Creek. Spectra and British Gas have also proposed the latest of several pipelines, to move all this gas to an
LNG terminal at Prince Rupert. � e Kitimat-Prince Rupert region now has at least � ve proposed terminals, with inves-tors including Shell, Chevron, ExxonMobil and state players from China and Korea.
All this is happening as shale gas is developed across the United States as well. As with oil, Canada is a captive of the U.S. market, and the � ood of new gas supply has the North American price at rock bottom.
At least B.C. hopes it’s the bottom. Gas roy-alties passed forest income to the B.C. treasury many years ago, and now as the forest industry struggles to recover, the province faces tum-bling revenues from gas.
Why would B.C.’s shale gas be seen as a pri-
ority for new global investment in LNG? For one thing, we’re a stable democratic country with a mature industry and competent regula-tion.
Secondly, the shipping advantage of the Kitimat and Prince Rupert ports to the Paci� c Rim has � nally been recognized internation-ally, as coal, forest products, grain and con-tainer tra� c has climbed in recent years.
B.C. has another advantage that appears to be increasingly important. � e shale gas deposits are deep, under a kilometre or more of solid rock, and most are in remote, sparsely inhabited locations.
� at adds cost to the pipeline system, but it has a bene� t. At the beginning of the year I predicted that the international protest movement that dishonestly targets Alberta oil would soon turn to demonizing natural gas.
� at pseudo-scienti� c attack has begun, right here in B.C. I’ll have more on that in a subsequent column.

I had heard some unsettling reports about transit fare gates. One said they aren’t going to prevent fare cheating. Another said one can crawl under them. Or, even jump over them.
I went by the Surrey Central SkyTrain sta-tion this morning to see for myself. All the reports I had heard are true. What I saw is beyond belief.
These fare gates are like a lock is to an
honest person. Who are the nincompoops who approved this design?
This is total incompetence. The only thing good I can say about them is the aesthetics – like they were designed in France.
I could slide right by on either side of the gates, as there is a big space between the gate and the pillar. Maybe plexiglass needs to go in there.
Regarding people crawling under them –
there is a 14-inch clearance. The gate height is under four feet. This is incredible incom-petence. How could they approve such mad-ness?
Why is TransLink so incompetent? The gov-ernment constantly reminds us that they have to pay top dollars to hire competent help, and they are all very well paid – maybe too well.

New HOV
ramps cut gridlock
Re: “No discount due to design flaw,” (Letters, The Leader, Feb. 12).
Jatinder Sandhu is correct that HOV drivers must use 156 Street in order to be in the HOV lane and receive the HOV discount when they pass under the toll gantry.
What I’d like to point out is these new dedicated HOV ramps are designed to complement the larger improvements of the 152 Street Interchange.
In fact, I expect many HOV driv-ers will prefer using the new 156 Street ramps over the traditional entrance and exit at 152 Street.
The 156 Street Interchange is a brand new set of on- and off-ramps built to provide fast, efficient and convenient access to the Highway 1 HOV lane for HOV vehicles. Traditionally, 152 Street has been one of the busiest interchanges on the Port Mann/Highway 1 corridor, and giving HOV vehicles their own, dedicated ramps at 156 Street makes Highway 1 access from Sur-rey more efficient.
These new HOV ramps are less than a minute away from 152 Street, and entering and exiting via 156 Street shouldn’t add any addi-tional travel time for most drivers.
Having HOV traffic use these new ramps will also take some pressure off the 152 Street Interchange, which has been one of the primary causes of the traf-fic bottleneck at the east end of the Port Mann Bridge. The new wider bridge, a new 152 Street interchange and HOV access via 156 Street are all working together to clear what was once the worst traffic bottleneck in British Columbia.
The new HOV and transit ramps at 156 Street are just one of the many HOV and transit investments included in the Port Mann/Highway 1 Improvement Project.
HOV and transit ramps at 202 Street in Langley, transit ramps at Government Street in Burnaby, and HOV on and off-ramps at Grandview Highway in Vancouver give commuters access to 30 new HOV lane kilo-metres that make up Highway 1’s new fast, efficient and time-saving network for HOV drivers and transit users.

I am a student at Woodward Hill Elementary and our class is raising awareness about the extinction of rhinos.
Rhinos are being extinct because of poachers.
Poachers try to get their horns for medicine and money. The cost of one rhino horn is about $1 million.
Did you know that there are only fewer than 50 Javan rhinos in the world?
The Vietnamese Javan rhinos are already extinct. There are fewer than 200 Sumatran rhinos. The Borneo rhino has about 30 in the world.
The northern white rhinos only have seven individuals in the world. There are only 20,600 Southern white rhinos and 4,860 black rhinos left.
Please help save the rhinos.
Shereen Tsang
ouR class has been helping this school in Africa raise awareness about the extinction of rhinos.
Did you know that there are fewer rhinos each month? If we don’t do anything now, sooner or later there won’t be any left!
Can you believe that from mil-lions and millions of each kind, there are only a few left?
Poachers are killing these mag-nificent creatures for their horns,
which are being used as medicine and plus they are worth millions. But that needs to stop!
All the kids in Africa really love and care for these animals, and if we don’t do anything about it they’ll never be able to see them again.
Look at it this way: Just think someone you really care for and love being killed and you never get to see them again.
Isn’t that sad? I would never want to see that
happen. If you don’t, then please stop the
poachers and let these amazing animals live there life without fear of dying.
So please save the rhinos!
Kiran Aujla
NoRtheRN whIte rhinos are in danger because of their horns. They are being poached for their keratin.
These large mammals can weigh more than 3,500 kg (7,700 lbs.) Northern white rhinos are consid-ered to be the second-largest land animal after the elephant. We need to take a stand and a difference and educate people to stop poach-ing. When I am older, I want to see rhinos.
Shaun Aylen
IN south Africa, rhinos are becoming extinct because people think rhinos horns are medicines. But did you know rhinos horns are not medicine?
Please help save the rhinos.
Nadiyah Ali
ouR class at Woodward Hill is learning about rhinos.
We’re learning about this because we heard it from a school in Cape Town, South Africa. When I saw the facts, I was shocked by the informa-tion. There are only seven species of rhinos left in the world. I just want to stop the poaching against rhinos for good because I want to be able to see the rhinos when I get older.
Matthew Bauer
ouR class is learning about how rhinos are going extinct. The reason we are doing this is because of a school in Cape Town, South Africa called Elkanah House School, which introduced the problem to our teacher.
There were eight species of rhinos before 2009. Sadly, the Vietnamese Javan rhino became extinct in 2010. Now we only have seven species of rhinos. Some of them are the Javan rhinos.
This species is deeply endangered because there are only 50 of them
left in the whole world. The Sumatran rhino is a bit better
with about 200 of them. We are making a effort to save these and all the other species.
Also thanks to wonderful people, the white rhino has over 20,000 of them! If you are wondering why they are going extinct, the reason is because of poachers cutting off the horns and leaving them to die.
Some humans think that it could be used in medicine. Did you know that some people would pay $1 mil-lion for it? We can make a difference and save them for generations to see!
Vinson Mach
ouR class at Woodward Hill Elementary has been trying to raise awareness of rhinos. These are amazing creatures and we do not want them to go extinct. In Cape Town, South Africa, there is a school called Elkanah House School. They are trying to save the rhinos by sending stuffed toys to different classrooms around the world .
The rhinos are being hunted for their horns.

Using his cellphone while driving cost a Surrey man dearly, as police who stopped him allegedly found crack cocaine, heroin and a backpack of money in the vehicle.
RCMP pulled the man over last Sunday afternoon during a routine distracted driver stop in the 10800-block of 160 Street after the man was seen using his phone while driving.
The driver was unable to pro-duce ID and was told to leave the vehicle and the Mountie saw what he suspected was a baggie of drugs on the floor of the car.
The driver was arrested, and two passengers were removed from the car, which was searched.
The search revealed a backpack in the back seat containing individually wrapped bags of what is
believed to be crack cocaine (10 grams) and heroin (1.5 grams), along with tens of thousands of dollars.
The 22-year-old male driver from Surrey, who is known to police, was released on a promise to appear in court on May 13 to face charges of possession for
the purpose of trafficking. The driver was also ticketed
for using an electronic device and driving contrary to restric-tions. Surrey RCMP Traffic Services is investigating and will be recommending a number of additional criminal charges.
“February is distracted driving month for police and officers have made it a priority to target those drivers observed using handheld devices while driving,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet.
“This is a classic example of some of the added ben-efits that come from having such increased enforce-ment on our roadways.”

LangLey RCMP have stopped a Surrey man they believe is respon-sible for a six-day crime spree, robbing Subways and other food outlets throughout Langley.
From Feb. 2-8, nine robberies took place at Edible Arrange-ments, various Subways, and pizza establishments, with three being committed in a single day.
The suspect wore a bandana, a baseball cap, and a hoody, and used bear spray as his weapon in many robberies, said Langley RCMP Insp. Amrik Virk.
In one of the robberies, only $15 was taken. However, the suspect made off with as much as $400 in
another instance.On four occasions, the suspect
used pepper spray as he exited.Langley’s Street Enforcement
Unit developed a strategy to stop these robberies, using surveillance and intelligence collected from the detachment’s crime analyst.
In anticipation of another offence on Feb. 8, a number of surveillance units were deployed.
At approximately 8 p.m., a rob-bery was reported at Fresh Slice Pizza in north Langley and police were given a description of the suspect vehicle.
The vehicle was located and followed to the Esso gas station at 72 Avenue and 200 Street, where it stopped.
Police approached the vehicle and arrested a man and woman without incident.
The vehicle was searched and several items were recovered, linking these two to the Langley robberies, said Virk.
Edward Joseph Biwer, 22, from Surrey, has been charged with nine counts each of robbery, assault with a weapon and disguise with intent.
He has been remanded in cus-tody and will appear in court again on Feb. 22.
The woman, aged 31, and also from Surrey, has been released from custody to appear in court on Feb. 26. She is suspected of being the driver in all nine robberies.
“This is a classic example of some of the added
benefits that come from having such increased enforcement on our
roadways.”

A Surrey travel agency has been forced to close its doors – at least temporarily – after its licence was cancelled by Consumer Protection BC (CPBC).
It’s alleged that Globe-Time Travel Ltd., located on 128 Street near 95 Avenue, did not comply with B.C.’s travel regulations.
Tatiana Chabeaux-Smith, man-ager of corporate communications at CPBC, said the licence cancella-tion came after an inspection that was generated by a complaint.
“Our director was of the opinion that the business might not meet the necessary criteria to maintain a travel licence. For example, they may not have sufficient working capital,” said Chabeaux-Smith.
“When a travel business doesn’t have enough working capital, then we think that puts the consumer at risk because of the exchange of money. They might not have enough money to pro-
tect those consumers.”Globe-Time has requested an
opportunity to be heard on the licensing matter, but the CPBC could not say how quickly that process would take place.
Customers who have booked trips with Globe-Time and haven’t yet travelled are encouraged to contact airlines, hotels and tour operators to confirm reservations.
If it’s found reservations aren’t confirmed, Consumer Protection BC recommends:
• Talking to your airline, hotel and tour operators to determine if there are options available for you to rebook your travel arrange-ments;
• Contacting a B.C. licensed travel agent to determine if they can assist with rebooking alterna-tive travel. To find a licensed travel agent, visit www.travelrightsbc.ca.
In the event that the original travel services booked were not provided and you are seeking a refund, here are some steps you
can take:• If you purchased travel services
with a credit card, call or write to the credit card company to determine if the charges can be reversed.
• If you purchased separate travel insurance, call the insurance provider to see if it will cover the costs of the undelivered services.
• If these steps have been unsuccessful, you may be eligible to make a claim with BC’s Travel Assurance Fund (TAF).
The TAF is a fund of last resort and provides possible compensa-tion for consumers who didn’t receive the contracted travel services they purchased through a licensed travel agent. Claims may be made to the fund for the original cost of travel services paid for and not provided.
For more details about the fund and to find a licensed travel agent or wholesaler, visit www.travel rightsbc.ca.

FrASer HeAltH is being accused of deleting some doctors’ voice-dictated reports for patients because of a huge backlog in medical transcription services.
The Hospital Employ-ees’ Union (HEU) says it sometimes takes too long to get the audio files from physicians transcribed and Fraser Health has a policy of purging certain files that have been in the system more than 60 days.
The files that can be deleted are those that are “on hold” because the doctor failed to include certain informa-tion that’s needed before the transcription can be finished.
“It leaves people with incomplete medi-cal charts,” said HEU spokesperson Margi Blamey.
A patient might have a pre-anesthetic con-sultation with the anes-thesiologist, who would later dictate a report and send it for transcription. But Blamey said some of the reports never get transcribed in time.
“They may actually arrive at their surgery without the informa-tion being in their file,” Blamey said.
But health author-ity officials reject the union’s claims.
“There’s no risk of patients losing their information through a purging process,” said Yoel Robens-Paradise, executive director for Lower Mainland health information manage-ment.
He said the “on hold” dictations that are deleted make up a “fraction of a per cent” of the overall transcrip-tion volume and said it’s “frightening” and “unfortunate” that the union would suggest all backlogged recordings are at risk.
No files that can be processed are ever deleted until they’re transcribed, he said.
The accusation is the latest volley in the HEU’s fight against plans by Lower Main-land health authorities to contract out the 130 remaining union-ized transcriptionists based in Vancouver, New Westminster and Abbotsford.
The move is expected to save $3 million per year on an annual tran-scription budget of $14 million.
About half the medical transcription in the region is already outsourced to Ontario-based Accentus, which uses home-based sub-contractors.
Hospitals at UBC,
Vancouver and Rich-mond had more than 16,500 backlogged reports awaiting tran-scription last week, according to the union.
Robens-Paradise said transcription work has been steadily growing and he conceded a backlog does exist.
He predicts the backlog will be cleared this spring as work begins to shift to newly selected provider MModal.
The change will bring state-of-the-art voice recognition systems that should more than double the productivity of existing staff, he said.
No patient reports deleted: FHAUnion concerned over backlog of medical transcriptions

We are the Kin’s Green Fighters!13 contestants take the 13 contestants take the challenge to get fit and
Reason for Applying: I would like to (participate) in this challenge as I think this would motivate and push me even more to work on getting healthier. I’ve continually gained weight and not put my health as a priority over the past few years, and I need to be a healthier me. I want to be a role model for my children, I want to feel healthy. I had a “slight” scare in 2010 (had a lump removed from my breast due to abnormal cells). This woke me up somewhat and I have attempted to lead a healthier life; however I would love the assistances and guidance of professionals. I want to show people that a busy mom of three can still find the time to make health a priority.

INCOME TAX S.O.S.
If preparing your income tax return is a real nightmare for you, you should know that there are many resources available to facilitate this chore.
Tax return software is available in stores and post offices. These allow you to fill out your income tax return on your computer and then send it to the government electronically. The software must, however, be authorized by govern-ment authorities.
CALL IN THE EXPERTSSome income tax software offers telephone
help lines, either free or with a charge. Government organizations can also provide you with free tax-related assistance over the phone, as well as other services.
GETTING HELPIf you are on a low income, you might be eligible
for a community program to have your income tax return done for you. Call Revenue Canada or your local community services centre to find out if this is the case for you. During income tax time, some organizations and volunteer groups set up free workshops to help people on low incomes complete their own income tax returns.
Tax laws are complex and are constantly chang-ing. If you believe that your tax situation is com-plicated, perhaps because you are a landlord who receives revenue from rental properties or because you own a small business, entrust your bookkeeping and tax return to professional accountants.
They have the expertise to deal with every tax situation and can help you maximize your sav-ings. ■

Undoing the Harmonized Sales Tax and establishing a modern-ized version of the 60-year-old Provincial Sales Tax is the biggest task facing Premier Christy Clark’s government in the brief legislative sitting that precedes the May 14 provincial election.
Finance Minister Mike de Jong introduced the transition legisla-tion Wednesday. It includes provi-sions for transactions that straddle the transition date, such as new home purchases.
The bill to replace the HST runs nearly 200 pages, and it will add
accounting costs for business as well as taking away business input tax credits that match those avail-able under the federal Goods and Services Tax.
The government has given itself a deadline of April 1 to make the switch for the 2013-14 fiscal year.
The administrative burden of the switch starts with businesses reprogramming cash registers and other systems to go back to collect-ing two separate sales taxes.
One of the few modern touches to the new PST is the ability of more than 100,000 businesses to register online at www.gov.bc.ca/etaxbc/register, and view online
instructions to help make the transition.
About 30,000 B.C. businesses have started up since 2010, and operators may have no experience with the old sales tax system.
Provincial sales taxes on res-taurant meals, haircuts and other services will be removed as of April 1, but one companion tax is being kept in place. Private sales of vehi-cles, boats and aircraft are exempt from GST, but the province levied a 12-per-cent provincial tax on the transactions to equalize treatment of used vehicle sales between deal-erships and individuals.

A teen is dead after spending some time on a “party bus” on Friday night. Police have ordered an autopsy into the death of the 16-year-old, who died suddenly and quietly on the bus about 10:30 p.m.
About 50 kids boarded the bus at Burnsview Secondary School on Friday night at about 9:30 p.m. At the time, witnesses said the victim looked fine and was in good spirits, according to police. But as the bus approached 72 Avenue and 152 Street, the teen passed out and died.
Police say there was no obvious cause of death. Police conducted about 50 interviews with students that night, many of which had to be taken again because of various levels of intoxication.
Police expect the autopsy to tell them more about how the teen died.

The Surrey Eagles continue to inch closer
to securing first place in the BC Hockey League’s Coastal Con-ference, after earning a
split of two games last weekend.
On Friday, the first-place Birds – who now
sit six points up on the Chilliwack Chiefs with six games to go – defeated the Nanaimo Clippers 3-2 on home ice. However, with a severely undermanned roster the following night in Chilliwack, Surrey fell to the Chiefs 4-2.
The Eagles played the game with just 14 skaters, as a handful of regulars were shelved due to injury or illness – including Demico Hannoun, Colton Mackie, Tommy Sti-pancik, Troy Paterson and backup netminder Glenn Ferguson. And to make matters worse, blue-liner Ryan Fraser-Lee broke his skate in warmup and was unable to play.
“That was tough because we were already going to play with five defencemen, so we ended up playing
four, with a forward going back there
every now and then,” explained Eagles coach Matt Erhart. “It wasn’t ideal, that’s for sure.”
Roster issues aside, the Eagles still kept it close – they led 2-1 after one period and the game was tied 2-2 after 40 minutes until the Chiefs pulled away in the third, icing the game with an empty-netter at the 19:55 mark.
“We just ran out of gas a little bit,” Erhart said. “Their fourth goal came right at the end, so it was a one-goal game for the most part. We had some chances to score with the goalie pulled, too, but just couldn’t get one.”
Joel Gaudet and Trevor Cameron scored for Surrey, while Langley native Austin Plevy – the BCHL’s third-leading point-getter – led the Chiefs with a pair of goals.
In Friday’s 3-2 win over the Clippers at South Surrey Arena, neither team scored in the opening 20 min-utes, then the home team pounced on the visitors in the second period.
Adam Tambellini, Devon Toews and Brett Mulcahy scored within seven minutes to stake Surrey to a 3-0 lead. Nanaimo scored twice in the third to make it close, but couldn’t get the equalizer before the final buzzer.
Goaltender Michael Santaguida – who has played all but one game since backup net-minder Ferguson was injured two months
ago – earned the win between the pipes, stopping 23 shots.
Looking towards the end of the season and playoffs, Erhart said the rash of injuries – most of which, he says, are minor – has actually been a bless-ing in disguise, in one respect: it’s allowed the coaching staff to find successful line combi-nations they otherwise wouldn’t have put together.
“We’ve had to throw guys together who normally wouldn’t play together, and some of it has worked,” the coach said, pointing to his new shutdown line of Nic Pierog, Kevan Killistoff and Cameron.
“Those guys hadn’t played together all sea-son, but they’ve been very good. We’ve been able to throw them out against other teams’ top lines, and they’ve done a real good job,” Erhart said.
This weekend, the team embarks on its final road trip of the season, a three-games-in-three-nights journey through the Island Division.
On Friday, Surrey will play the Powell River Kings, followed by a Saturday tilt with the Alberni Valley Bulldogs and a Sunday afternoon game against the Cowichan Valley Capitals.
“It’ll be a good test for us,” Erhart said.
“If we can get a couple wins, it’ll put us that much closer to clinching (first place), and that’s what we’re aiming for.”

Four local athletes have accepted scholar-ship offer from NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) schools.
Asianna Covington will join the University of Georgia Bulldogs track and field team next fall, while Courney Postma will be playing soccer for the David and Elkins College Senators, a Division II school in West Virginia.
And the University of Idaho Vandals have landed a pair of track and field participants, as Tim Delcourt of Kwantlen Park Second-ary and Meghan Palesch of Semiahmoo Second-ary will joint their team in the fall.
Covington, a student at Little Flower Academy high school in Vancou-ver, has won gold medals in hammer throw, discus and shot put at the B.C. High School Track and Field Championships, and has also set a Cana-dian high school record in the discus.
She competed at
the 2012 World Junior Championships, and was Canada’s flag bearer the IV Commonwealth Youth Games at the Isle of Man in 2011.
University of Georgia head coach Wayne Nor-
ton predicted “Asianna will be one of the best hammers we have had. The hammer is her best event, but she should help us in the discus as well as she matures.”
Postma is in her
fourth season with the Central City Breakers soccer club, and has been a member of two provin-cial championship teams. Postma is a goaltender, and has played in five provincial championship tournaments.
Delcourt won the 2012 B.C. high school cross country champion-ship last fall, and was second in the 1,500m and 3,000m events at last spring’s provincial cham-pionships in Burnaby.
Palesch is a national junior champion and set a Canadian record in the 200m hurdles at the 2010 Canadian Youth Championships.
“It’s a very important recruiting year for us, so it was important to find kids who can have an impact right away,” said University of Idaho director of track and field Wayne Phipps, speaking about the two signings. “They’ve already performed well as juniors, and we expect that to continue for them this year and even more so once they get here and keep going down the road.”

Delta SungoD swimmer Albert Yu, 11, has qualified for the AAA Provincial championships later this month in Victoria.
Yu met the qualifying standard in the 200m breast stroke while winning the gold medal in that event at the BC AA Champion-ship Meet Feb. 8-10 at the Surrey Sports and Leisure Complex. There were roughly 500 swim-
mers aged 9-18 at the meet. Yu was one of seven swimmers
from the Sungod club competing in Surrey, and he also reached the final in the 100m freestyle event and placed eighth.
Rosanna Chung, 16, was fourth in her 100m butterfly event and sixth in the 100m breast stroke. Reece Landry, 10, placed fourth fourth in the 100m butterfly and was eighth in the 100 breast-stroke. He also set a new club
record in the Boys 10-and-under 200m breast stroke race with a time of 3:32.11.
“The kids are working very, very hard in practice and many of them have set some ambitious goals. It will be very exciting to see what happens with the club over the next couple of years,” said Sungod coach Kurt Murphy, in his first year as head coach of the club and his third with the program.

TogeTher, They logged more than 20,000 hours last year serving their communities at public events such as the Cloverdale Rodeo and Halloween Costume Parade, along with helping deliver anti-crime programs that help make Surrey safer.
And on Jan. 31, the Surrey RCMP and the City of Surrey held a special ceremony honouring the city’s “ulti-mate volunteers” – the 86 women and men who serve as auxiliary constables.
Karen Summers and Jason Pooni, Auxiliary members based out of the Clo-verdale/Port Kells District 4 community
office, were among those recognized.Summers was honoured for her 20
years of service in Surrey, while Pooni received a provincial award for serving more than 500 hours.
“Since the 1960s, officers in Surrey have had the special privilege of work-ing alongside these dedicated men and women whose commitment to public safety is unmatched,” Surrey RCMP Chief Superintendent Bill Fordy said at the ceremony.
Fordy described the auxiliary constables as an integral part of the detachment’s crime reduction strategy. Their role helps strengthen the bonds with the community and encourages the public to get on board crime pre-
vention initiatives.The auxiliary constable program in
Surrey is the largest in the country. In 2012, Surrey’s auxiliary constables volunteered at 40 local events. Const. Lelan Sheldan served an impressive 884 volunteer hours.
Mayor Dianne Watts also had high praise, saying Surrey is “extremely fortunate to have such a strong and committed Auxiliary Constable team.”
She also commended them for their thousands of hours of volunteer work in police programs, community cel-ebrations and other projects.
