Ministry of Justice instructions mean ‘there is nothing further White Rock can do,’ mayor says

Bylaw officers diverted from tracks Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

White Rock bylaw officers have been told to stay clear of the train tracks along the city’s waterfront. While the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway lies within the municipality’s jurisdiction, the railway itself is private property, notes a letter to White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin from the Ministry of Justice.

“There is no authority for a municipal government to enforce their bylaws outside the local government nor can bylaw officers enforce federal statutes or act as enforcement agents on private railway land outside of the municipality,” Perry Clark, the ministry’s executive director of policing, security, and law enforcement and infrastructure finance, writes in the letter dated Dec. 3. The letter – which was discussed during the

correspondence portion of Monday’s council meeting – follows a city delegation with the ministry last September raising concerns over increased rail traffic and the challenge of ensuring beach visitors use designated crossings, rather than trespassing on rail lands. “The response has come back that they’re not going to give us any permission for bylaw enforcement officers to do any enforcement on private property, and that the RCMP can

do it if it falls within the operational jurisdiction of the city,” Baldwin said. “At this point in time, there is nothing further we can do.” In B.C., the Canadian National (CN) Police Service and the Canadian Pacific (CP) Police Service are “unique police forces responsible for providing policing and law enforcement to the property owned” by respective railway companies, Clark writes. i see page 4

Surrey meets billion-dollar building mark

Party of a lifetime

Staff Reporter

Surrey just inched past the billion-dollar mark in development last year, as the city experienced its third year of building declines. The city first burst past $1 billion in building-permit values in 2004 and climbed north of $1.5 billion until the global economic meltdown of 2008. In the years following, Surrey was registering about $850 million annually in development, but the numbers rallied as confidence in the building industry resumed. That confidence was matched with federal infrastructure cash meant to spur “shovel-ready” projects. In 2011, Surrey saw $1.2 billion in development, followed by a year with $1.3 billion. Then things in the development sector began to slide a bit. In 2013, the city logged $1.13 billion in building-permit values, and last year fell even further to $1.02 billion. Jean Lamontagne, Surrey’s general manager of planning, said the previous years’ climb well past $1 billion were “blips” caused by the construction of several institutional projects, such as Surrey Memorial Hospital’s new criticalcare tower, the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre, and RCMP E-Division headquarters. i see page 10

plan to give an eight-yearold South Surrey girl the birthday party of a lifetime evolved into something much bigger Friday, when Ellaray Lewis was treated to an entire day of pampering and fun. Organizer Nikita Graham – a Panorama resident who met Ellaray last summer while facepainting at a City of Surrey event – said the youngster had a “girls’ day” that included getting her hair, makeup and nails done before heading, in a limousine, to a party at the Crown Palace banquet hall. “She kept saying, ‘oh my gosh, I can’t believe this is for me’,” Graham said. Ellaray was first introduced to Peace Arch News readers in May 2008, when she was just 16 months old, after a former classmate of her dad’s decided to organize a fundraiser to help the family. Born with a rare condition that developed into an aggressive skin cancer, over the years, Ellaray has undergone more than two dozen surgeries to fight it. Prior to her seventh birthday, doctors diagnosed her with scoliosis – a curvature in her spine that means she has to wear a body cast most of the time. i see page 4

Urban forest park overwhelmingly approved by voters in 1988

City targets Green Timbers A side effect of plans by TransLink and the City of Surrey to expand transit in this area could be destruction of a portion of the Green Timbers urban forest. This has not been mentioned in past discussions about the LRT line that is to take off from the end of the current SkyTrain line at King George Station and head towards Fleetwood, Clayton and possibly Langley City. A press release issued by the City of Surrey on Tuesday notes that a “yes” vote on the Frank Bucholtz proposed 0.5 per cent congestion improvement sales tax will advance a number of transit and road improvements in Surrey, including “upgrades to and widening of major roads to four travel lanes, including Fraser Highway between 148 Street and City Centre.” If the road is widened to four lanes, and an LRT line (which is at-grade) is constructed there, hundreds of mature trees will be cut down. Plans to four-lane the road have been made (and fought off) in the past. Other development plans, such as constructing highrises on a portion of the Green Timbers north of 100 Avenue near 148 Street, have also been turned down after stiff opposition. Given that there are no opposing voices to Surrey First on council, it may be difficult to convince the current council to preserve all of the trees in the urban forest. Some history is in order here.

...and franklyy

Mature trees could be at risk due to LRT construction. The original Green Timbers forest was the last large block of old-growth forest left in the Lower Mainland, and there was a passionate campaign to preserve it in the 1920s. However, it was eventually logged off, with not a single old growth tree left. The final trees came down in 1930. The outcry did lead to one good thing. The provincial government turned much of Green Timbers into a forest reserve, establishing its first major tree nursery there. In addition, much of the logged-off land was replanted, in the first major reforestation effort in B.C. The trees that line Fraser Highway today are among those that were planted during the 1930s, and are all about 80 years old. The tree nursery was active into the 1980s, but before that time Surrey had taken title to most of the Green Timbers reserve through a land swap with the province in the late 1960s. Part of the former forest nursery property is now home to the RCMP E Division headquarters building. Surrey had no concrete plans for the land when it took title to it. Some new roads were built, while others were widened. The northeast portion (which had not been part of the 1930s

reforestation efforts) was cleared, and council planned to build a sports stadium there in the early 1980s, until citizen outcry stopped the plan. That portion is now home to a park and fishing lake. In 1988, Green Timbers and Sunnyside Acres in South Surrey were, by vote of citizens, dedicated as urban forest parks. Many trails have been developed in both parks since that time, but both remain among the most important parts of Surrey’s forest canopy. A widened road and LRT line through the forest won’t completely destroy it, but it will do significant visual and ecological damage to the area. Surrey has cut down far more trees than any private developer, even as city staff and politicians say there is a need to plant more trees in the city. The Green Timbers should be preserved as an urban forest, as citizens made clear in an overwhelming vote in 1988. That means the cutting of trees should be kept to a minimum. It makes sense to run an LRT line down Fraser Highway, and two lanes of traffic should remain. That would still mean that some trees would need to come down. But any plans for four lanes of traffic, in addition to an LRT line, should be firmly resisted by Surrey residents. They expect the city to honour commitments made in 1988, when the property was turned into an urban forest park. There needs to be a great deal more discussion about this. The city needs to fully disclose its plans for Fraser Highway, and just how many trees it plans to cut down. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News.

Baldwin critical of executive wages and ‘the whole governance structure’

Mayors ‘powerless to cut TransLink pay’ Jeff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouver mayors say they’re powerless to cut the pay levels of TransLink senior managers, despite provincial government claims that they are in charge of the issue. The mayors’ council was supposed to gain control over remuneration of TransLink’s board and executives in the latest changes to the transportation authority’s governance made by the province last year. White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin was appointed by other mayors to lead a committee exploring how the new changes will work, and whether pay levels can be changed. So far, he’s determined the mayors have no authority under the province’s legislation to initiate their own study of pay levels for

TransLink’s directors or managers. “Even if we think it’s outrageous, we can’t do anything about it unless it comes to us in a report,” Baldwin said. TransLink’s first new executive-compensation plan under the revised legislation hasn’t yet been approved by the TransLink board, according to TransLink spokesperson Cheryl Ziola. Its recommendations on any changes would then go to the mayors’ council for a final vote at a date yet to be determined. But Baldwin says mayors will have no power to alter the plan – they can merely say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ – meaning they can likely block any proposed pay hikes but not impose any cuts. “The best we could do is freeze it – that’s about it,” he said, noting any cuts to pay levels could likely apply only to future hires,

Jury trial to begin

Not-guilty plea in alleged threat Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A couple accused of plotting to set off pressure-cooker bombs at the B.C. Legislature on Canada Day 2013 have pleaded not guilty. John Nuttall and his wife, Amanda Korody, who were living in a Surrey basement suite when they were arrested on conspiracy and terrorism-related charges, were in Vancouver Supreme Court on Tuesday. The date was scheduled for jury selection. The pair entered pleas prior to the selection process. Nuttall was 38 and Korody John Nuttall 29 when they were arrested in Abbotsford July 1, 2013 and charged with making or possessing an explosive device, conspiracy to commit an indictable Amanda Korody offence and knowingly facilitating terrorist activity. Police seized what they called three “improvised explosive devices” made from pressure cookers containing nails, nuts and bolts that were placed on the grounds of the legislative assembly where thousands of people were to gather for Canada Day celebrations. B.C. RCMP said the arrest was made following a five-month investigation. Fourteen jurors were to be chosen for the trial – scheduled to begin Feb. 2 and to run for 4½ months.

Sonja Kroecher questions why the public wasn’t told about a metal-finishing and galvanizing facility to be built near 186 Street and 25 Avenue.

Metal-finishing plant suprises locals, after area zoned for such a facility in 2012

New neighbour galvanizes residents Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Residents of a rural South Surrey area are demanding to know why they weren’t told that a metal-finishing and galvanizing facility is to be built in their neighbourhood. Sonja Kroecher, whose daughter attends the nearby East Kensington Elementary, said she is concerned about the potential emissions from Ebco Metal Finishing LP’s project, at 18699 24 Ave., in particular those from its “hot-dip galvanizing” process. As well, that she only learned about it on Friday, when an area farmer with concerns was handing out flyers in a parking lot across from the school. Kroecher said numerous attempts to get more information from the city have left her frustrated. It’s a project that residents should have had a say in, she said. “I feel that people should know about it and have a choice to voice their opinion about it. “They don’t want people to know. It’s just upsetting.” According to Jean Lamontagne, Surrey’s manager of planning and development, council approved, following a public hearing, the

Rail line ‘patrolled 24/7’ i from page 1 As a result of the response, the city is planning to meet with CN police. “We’ll try to put forward our case that they should pay a little more attention to (the tracks) if the Ministry of Transportation deems it to be such a hazardous area,” Baldwin said. “Perhaps it should receive a bit more time than it does now.” However, BNSF spokesperson Gus Melonas told Peace Arch News Tuesday that the area is patrolled regularly. “BNSF owns the right of way and we commission with CN Police to

patrol our property and take necessary action for trespassing and crime against BNSF resources,” Melonas said. “We use their services 24/7.” Melonas added that the patrols include walking, riding in trains and high-rail vehicle patrol. “The goal is to protect the railroad and the safety of the public… through this corridor,” he said. Railway safety has been at the forefront in White Rock since July 2013, when a jogger was killed on East Beach tracks a week after a devastating derailment in Quebec.

Bridging communities the goal for United Church event

Representatives from a pair of Peninsula churches are organizing an evening aimed at dispelling misinformation and fear regarding Muslims.

Louise Cummings. “We got concerned this fall around the plight of Syrian refugees particularly, and the promises of the government (to help) that are really not materializing,” Cummings said Tuesday.

Arts-towers advice on agenda Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A recommendation for how to operate the arts component of a development proposed for 19 Avenue and 152 Street in South Surrey is to be shared Tuesday (Jan. 20) at Surrey City Hall. Sheila McKinnon, the city’s arts manager, said Vancouver-based consultant Lori Baxter will be on hand at a 3 p.m. meeting of

the culture development advisory committee, to share what she gleaned from attendees of a meeting on the subject held in South Surrey last week. Baxter was hired last June to research governance options for a proposed theatre, contemporary arts space and café. The space was presented as part of a proposal to build more than 300 residential units in two highrises.

Educate in order to eradicate terrorism

errorism is on the minds of many people these days, given last week’s events in France. Canada is not immune to the challenges posed by terrorists, with ISIS specifically naming Canada as a target last week. The organization, which holds parts of Iraq and Syria and continues to engage in brutal attacks on innocent people, is under attack by Canada and many other allied nations. It has been threatening Canada for months, with at least one Canadian, John Maguire, appearing in ISIS videos and calling for attacks on his countrymen. Many Canadians felt immune from terrorism until the attacks on Canadian Forces members in Ottawa and Quebec last fall. While the people involved in both of those cases apparently acted on their own – and at least one was suffering from mental illness – the attacks shook many Canadians. An attack on a soldier standing guard at the National War Memorial, and the lone shooter then getting into the Parliament Buildings, was a brazen and chilling moment. The federal government is ready and willing to boost surveillance of potential “radicalized” individuals, and its moves in this area will be supported by a large majority of citizens. They want to get back to the “peace and order” that usually characterizes Canada. Unfortunately, there is no way to guarantee that. The world is a much smaller place, with air travel to almost any place easily available, and social media used extensively to shape and change peoples’ attitudes. Some people suggest that all terrorists belong to one specific religious group and feel that the root of the problem is that particular religion. This is a very narrow-minded and clearly wrongheaded approach to take. The fact is that there are people of many different ethnic and religious backgrounds who feel they need to take their grievances and explode them on the world stage. Some are born and raised elsewhere; some are homegrown. Our leaders have no easy task. They must determine effective ways to combat terrorist threats, balancing the need to retain public freedoms. And we members of the public must educate ourselves, so that we do not create the kind of terror we hope to eradicate.

they came from.” “If they don’t want to live by Canadian laws, then leave.” Social media and online comments are littered with those stupid statements whenever law-breaking involves visual minorities. It’s blatant racism, based on the utmost of ignorance. There may be an odd exception, but I’m guessing the majority of the youth involved in the Townhill conflict were born and raised in Canada, to parents who are either citizens themselves, or have permanent resident status. Those young people “came from” here. That makes them Canadian citizens. Bad ones, but citizens nonetheless, and Canadian citizenship by birth cannot be lost by bad behaviour. Should commission of a criminal offence have been grounds for deportation, for the past century or so tens of thousands of misbehaving Canadians would have been shipped back to Britain, Scotland, France, Germany, Ukraine, Russia, Sweden, etc. After all, that’s where many of us firstand second-generation Canadians “came from.” But in the narrow minds of some, it’s different if the miscreants come from India, Pakistan, Vietnam, China, Uganda, or any other non-Caucasian country. Fortunately, regardless of skin colour or ethnicity, all Canadian citizens are subject to Canadian laws... including those who disrespect them. Sitting in his prison cell, Jamie Bacon could speak to that. Andrew Holota is editor of the Abbotsford News.

Be wary out there Editor: I belong to the Nordic Stride Club, a pole-walking group comprising a number of seniors and those quickly approaching ‘seniorhood.’ We walk the local trails on Mondays and Wednesdays, and on Friday we treat ourselves to lunch at eateries from Ladner to Langley. We are not just an exercise group. We have become fast friends and support each other in times of poor health or personal tragedy. Within the last six months, five of our members have been hit by thieves or scam artists. It began with two cars being vandalized in Sunnyside Acres’ Wally Ross parking lot off of 24 Avenue. The thief was seen and chased by a couple out for a stroll but told by police not to intervene. It cost $300 to replace the window on one car and $100 on the other. And so we moved to the parking lot on 20 Avenue. Being more visible, we thought there would be less chance of any trouble. Wrong! Shortly after our move, two of us were approached by a woman with two small dogs who told us she had her car vandalized and her purse stolen. She said she was from Langley and had come to check on her sister’s house, while she was on vacation. She said she didn’t have enough gas to get home, and so two of us took pity and ended up giving her gas money. That same week, another of our members was approached by the same woman in the Ocean Park Safeway lot – same story, only this time she wasn’t given any cash. On Jan. 7, another of our members had her car window smashed in the parking lot at Historic Stewart Farmhouse. Unfortunately, she had hidden her purse in the car, and it with all of its contents was stolen. While able to replace credit cards, driver’s licence and a car key, she is most upset by the loss of two pairs of eyeglasses valued at $1,000 each and of use to no one but herself. These spectacles, along with her purse, were likely tossed into the bushes on one of the trails. Should you find anything from this robbery, please take it to either community policing on 152 Street or the Peace Arch News office. I am writing this as awareness to carry any valuables on your person or leave them at home. These thieves/con artists couldn’t care less about the expense, emotional upset or anything other than the few cents they may obtain from robbing you. Dee Walmsley, Surrey

Their care appreciated Editor: My family and I would like to thank all the nurses and staff of the fifth floor ACE unit for the wonderful and thoughtful care given to my mother, Helen Bateman, during her hospitalization from Dec. 23 to her death, Jan. 1.

The staff were all so kind and thoughtful, not only to my mother, but also to myself and my family. They asked us if we needed anything, such as juice or water. They said they were there to support us as well as care for mother. Their empathy was, and remains, a source of great comfort. They welcomed mother’s caregiver spending nights at the hospital sleeping beside her, which I’m sure was a solace to both. The doctors, nurses and staff did all they could for mother, but she succumbed to congestive heart failure on New Year’s Day. It’s wonderful to know there are such facilities in our community. John H. Bateman, White Rock

Illumination on the horizon Editor: I didn’t have my camera with me, but I just spent the last 45 minutes staring at the sunset in the Semiahmoo Bay from that bench in that tiny park where Columbia and Victoria Avenue fork. It was incredible, with the Olympic Mountains and the southern tip of Vancouver Island lit up burning red, and just above that was the sun’s golden reflection. Filtering upward were all the nascent colours, from light green

blending to opal, robin’s egg, baby blue... all the way up to that dark rich blue minutes before the sky turns into the black of night. Just when I got up to leave, it hit me that growing up and living in White Rock was comparable to growing up and spending your whole life living with the most beautiful woman in the world. You know who and what she is, and you take that fact for granted, but sometimes you see her when the sun shines down on her just right and you start shallow breathing and your heart keeps skipping a little out of control and you can’t help state out loud to her, “God you’re amazing!” Jay Heakes, White Rock

Letter writers question Mayor Linda Hepner’s awareness of city finances, prior to her Surrey First sweep on Nov. 15.

Reaction to cash-call ‘surprise’ Editor: Re: Unexpected costs require levy: mayor, Dec. 30. Mayor Linda Hepner’s explanation as to why Surrey’s property owners must pay an additional $100 tax levy this year is truly pathetic, made even worse by the deafening silence of her colleagues. The obvious conclusion is that either the Surrey First team is totally incompetent in managing our money, or deliberately concealed the real state of the city’s finances during the recent election. Take your pick! I would also bet the taxpayer is probably set for similar surprises over the coming years; that is, unless severe cuts are made to the extravagant planned capital program. For those who voted exclusively for the Surrey First juggernaut that, with the help of their development friends, crushed any possible opposition – you can have little cause to complain. Robin Harper, Surrey Q No, this is not an April Fool’s Day joke, just December in Surrey. So… early days yet. Does any thinking person believe that this was an “oops”? So many councillors, so little time! There was not a whisper of a tax increase in public statements or printed interviews during the preelection period. Rather the opposite. Good gracious, there is a new Surrey virus of slate amnesia. We taxpayers need to come to the aid of our shocked officials, if the whole of the council is in this state of astonishment and wonder. Are there more miscalculations to come? Plans for the new majestic, controversial city hall and pools have been in the works for years. Yet, Mayor Linda Hepner was not aware it was going to cost $2 million to run a pool. Why not? Rosaleen MacFadden, Surrey

Q Re: Team starts with trust deficit, Dec. 26 column. Columnist Frank Bucholtz has captured the exact essence of our current civic government. His assertion that the Surrey council team knew they would need a tax increase, but did not mention it during the election campaign, is just another case of a majority junior government only telling the citizens what they want and not being at all transparent in their dealings. I am, personally, not surprised by anything the team does, as they have exhibited a significant amount of insincerity in the very recent past. Do we know exactly what the new city hall is going to cost? I think not. The statement that taxes are growing by a modest 2.9 per cent is, in fact, inherently false. When digging further into property owners’ pockets and attaching the convenient term ‘levy’ – and saying it is not a tax – is simply ridiculous. Can I refuse to pay the levy if I don’t use the recreational and am not interested in the cultural parcel? If not, it is a tax. The trust deficit is significant, and I am not optimistic anything will be done to address the matter. Count on more political spin and the use of convenient terms such as ‘levy’ to keep the masses uninformed. Is it not a political belief that by remaining silent, rolling out hot-button issues like crime and safety – and having many positive press releases – is enough to satiate the masses, who are simply too tired from working, raising a family and paying bills to actually be mad? Aren’t we lucky to have a majority ruling party occupying our grand new city hall? Without opposition, everyone will simply sing from the same song sheet. That way, we can assume we have been well-informed and not think about how we will be snookered again next year. Wonder what new buzz word will replace ‘levy’ in 2016? Andrew Johnston, Surrey

RCMP offer tips to stay safe

‘Thugs’ targetting loners Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A group of roving thugs are patrolling Surrey streets, stealing electronics from people, mostly when the victims are alone. S u r r e y RCMP issued a warning Friday that over the past few months, Dale Carr they have RCMP responded to more than 20 similar robberies throughout the city. The thefts typically involve a lone victim who is approached by two to five muggers. Suspects demand valuables, typically electronics and cash. In most of the cases, the threat of violence is used or a weapon is produced to intimidate the victim. So far, there have been no serious injuries reported. Some of the victims have been young people. The robberies usually occur in the evening to early morning hours – 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. Due to the similarities in these

In an effort to help residents boost safety in their own communities, Surrey RCMP have launched a Neighbourhood Safety Campaign. The initiative is to include a series of “engagement presentations,” starting Jan. 19 at Cambridge Elementary, 6115 150 St. Designed to address crime concerns in specific neighbourhoods – Cambridge is located in Sullivan – the presentations will include details on crime trends, policing initiatives and crimeprevention information. According to police, crime analysis of Sullivan has identified property crime, mail theft and auto theft as areas of growing concern. Attendees will learn about steps they can take to work with police, from Cpl. Mike Spencer of the Auto Crime Target Team and Chief Supt. Bill Fordy. Other engagement presentations will be announced For more information or to register, visit surrey.rcmp-grc.ca – Tracy Holmes

Critical-care-tower construction added to ‘blip.’

Taxing targets i from page 1 Over time, development in the city has remained fairly stable at about the billion-dollar mark each year. Of last year’s construction, just over $700 million was attributed to residential building, a total of 69 per cent of building-permit totals for the year. Commercial building came in well behind at $186 million, or 18 per cent of total construction. Industrial growth was $98 million (nine per cent), while institutional and “other” were $33 million (just over three per cent). The balance of residential versus commercial and industrial growth is important from both policy and financial perspectives. The City of Surrey is aiming to have one job per resident, which will require much more commerce and industry. Surrey currently has .71 jobs per resident. In addition, commerce and industry bring in about three times the taxes, while drawing less on city services, such as libraries and recreation centres. Such is the case in Vancouver. About 69 per cent of Surrey’s tax income comes from residential property taxes, a figure planners and finance staff would like to see fall to about 50 per cent. Surrey has had nearly 70 per cent of its tax revenue come from residential properties for about the past 15 years. Last year, Surrey obtained a 60/40 ratio of residential to commercial and industrial. Comparatively, in White Rock – with no industrial base and a population of 19,339 – about 89 per cent of the taxes are collected from residents, while 10 per cent comes from business and one per cent from non-profit organizations and utilities. Lamontagne said the City of Surrey can make plans for higher commerce and industry, but it is at the mercy of regional market forces. First-time buyers like to buy homes in Surrey, where they won’t be mortgage-poor. “That draws people here from an affordability factor,” Lamontagne said on Tuesday. “Because of the market conditions in the region, it puts a lot of pressure on residential (tax bases) in Surrey and Langley.” A similar situation is occurring on the other side of Scott Road. Last year in Delta, there was an increase in construction, as that municipality saw a climb in values from $264 million to $283.9 million – a bump of 7.4 per cent. Out of that, $221 million, or 78 per cent, was residential construction, while commercial, industrial and institutional building amounted to just 20 per cent (the remaining two per cent was “other” construction). In all, the high number of residential projects increases the pressure on homeowners to pay for the costs of running the municipality.

TransLink tax endorsed by Surrey council

Saturday, February 14

‘Our turn for transit’ Black Press

As promised, Surrey is putting the pedal to the metal for a “yes” vote in the upcoming referendum on an increase in taxes for TransLink. On Monday, Surrey council voted unanimously to endorse a ‘yes’ vote, vowing to work diligently to engage, inform and encourage the passage of the plebiscite this spring. Lower Mainland residents will cast ballots in March on whether they support increasing sales tax in Metro Vancouver to help pay for improved transit and transportation infrastructure throughout the region. “Surrey has long been in need of more rapid transit and transportation options, and the regional Mayors’ Council plan goes a long way in addressing those needs for our city,” said Mayor Linda Hepner. “The goal now is to ensure that residents understand just how much is at stake for Surrey with this plan.” Communities south of the Fraser are among the fastest growing in the region. Over the next three decades, 380,000 more residents and 230,000 new jobs are forecast for this area. Without the tax, Surrey council says roads will be increasingly congested and transit will be that much further behind the demand. “It’s our turn to have the transit investment and service needed to move our residents and shape our growing city,” said Coun. Tom Gill.

Highlights of the plan for Surrey include new Light Rail Transit (LRT) linking City Centre to Guildford and Newton. LRT will also be constructed on the Fraser Highway into Langley. Also in the plans are road improvements, expanded rapid-bus lines and a new Pattullo Bridge with wider lanes. Delta hasn’t officially taken a position on the tax, but Mayor Lois Jackson noted residents are split on the idea. “My concern – and I’ll be very up front about this – is the Mayors’ Council and TransLink have been so confidential in their discussion on all of these matters,” Jackson said, adding the secrecy hasn’t done much to engender trust among the public. “The problem is people don’t know what the question is, let alone what the answer is they should be giving.” Jordan Bateman, the B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation, opposes the tax and said Surrey council has become too attached to taxes. “There’s a big part of the equation that Surrey council seems to be missing, frankly in a lot of their decisions… affordability,” Bateman said Tuesday. “What we’re seeing in Surrey is massive property tax increases, a roll tax and now a huge TransLink tax.” He said households don’t behave the way government does, adding if homeowners can’t afford something, they don’t buy it. “Politicians see an opportunity for a new tax and they jump on it,” Bateman said.

Evaluation of special programs underway

School district seeks public input Sheila Reynolds Black Press

The Surrey School District is evaluating its specialty programs – such as Montessori, French immersion and fine arts – and is seeking input from the public. An online discussion has been set up to gather information and feedback so the district can form a long-term vision for socalled choice programs, which also include traditional, discovery, Inter-A, International Baccalaureate, heritage and Punjabi programs. Do you know what programs

currently exist? Which ones have wait lists and where is there declining enrolment? One discussion already taking place asks whether the board of education should consider expanding any Choice programs and if so, which ones? The majority of answers so far indicate respondents feel access to French immersion should be improved, with one person even suggesting the language program be available at all schools. Several others also recommended expanding programs for gifted children. Participants are welcome to

make their own comments and suggestions and/or reply to those others have made. The PlaceSpeak discussion group also includes graphics about things such as growth areas in Surrey, program enrolment trends and school construction projects, as well as documents describing each of the current Choice programs. The Surrey School District is the largest in B.C. with about 73,000 students at 130 school sites. Though 19 schools have been built or added onto in the past 20 years, many schools in Surrey remain overcrowded.

Public Information Meeting 1172 Parker Street - Hosted by Applicant

With such rapid growth and diversification, the district officials hope to use the public consultation to look ahead and form a long-range plan. In addition to the online consultation, there will also be public forums about Choice programs. Once all the feedback is analyzed, staff will bring the recommendations to the Surrey Board of Education. To participate, first register (for free) at www.placespeak. com.

Call for Civic Grant Applications Submission Deadline: February 16, 2015, 4:30 p.m.

The City of White Rock has received an application to rezone the property located at 1172 Parker Street from ‘RT-1 Two Unit (Duplex) Residential Zone’ to ‘RS-4 One Unit (12.1m Lot Width) Residential Zone’ to allow a two-lot subdivision and the construction of two new homes.

The City of White Rock is accepting applications for the 2015 Civic Grants.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Volunteer Dorothy Gibbs to be honoured at this year’s Alzheimer’s walk

In living memory of her late husband Boaz Joseph

Black Press

t’s almost a certainty that on the morning of July 10, Dorothy Gibbs will stroll down to White Rock beach, sit on one favourite bench, and remember. With any luck, she’ll witness a train pass by. Dorothy, 81, has done this annual pilgrimage for the 10 years since her husband, Robert (Bob), passed away. That bench on West Beach was part of a daily ritual for the two of them. Bob would swim at 6 a.m. at a local pool. Then eat breakfast. Then he and Dorothy would sit on the bench at the beach. They wouldn’t leave until a train had passed by. The importance of a daily routine for someone like her husband was something Dorothy had known for some time. She learned it at an Alzheimer’s caregiver support group that she attended after her husband was first diagnosed with the disease. Around the time of his retirement, Bob, a gregarious, humourous man, showed signs that something was wrong with his memory. After some time, a concerned Dorothy sought advice at an Alzheimer’s Society open house in White Rock. The greeter welcomed Dorothy with a hug and asked how she could help. “I just collapsed in tears and left,” Dorothy now recalls with a chuckle. She did come back, of course, learned what she could, and over time, managed to convince her husband’s health care providers he was indeed having problems and was good at hiding them behind good Scottish cheer and banter. Avalon Tournier, the support and education co-ordinator for Surrey/North Delta/White Rock at The Alzheimer Society of B.C., remembers Bob as “likable and quick-witted.” While he attended a support group for those with Alzheimer’s, Dorothy took on the challenge as a caregiver and found out what she could at her own support groups. She learned about the

Dorothy Gibbs, 81, is the honouree at the Alzheimer’s Society’s Walk for Memories, which is set to take place on Jan. 25 in Surrey. importance of routine, tidiness and simple communication to help her husband cope during his slow cognitive decline. She was taught to use distractions when her husband repeated the same sentences – it was also a way to reduce his frustration, since he knew things weren’t right. For years, he swam every morning. “It was very good for him,” says Dorothy. He only stopped swimming about two years before his death (from an illness not related to Alzheimer’s disease) because of an argument in the change room. Bob was stunned when an acquaintance asked him point-

blank: “Why can’t you carry on an intelligent conversation?” Bob turned around and said he had Alzheimer’s disease and never went back. Dorothy describes another incident following his death two years later. After her husband’s memorial service, Dorothy asked one of her two daughters about why she didn’t grieve at the event that day like the rest of the family. The daughter replied that her grieving began the day she was told her father had Alzheimer’s disease. After he died, Dorothy continued volunteering with the Alzheimer’s Society, organizing support groups, and she still

makes calls to remind clients of upcoming meetings. This month, she’s the honouree at the society’s annual Walk for Memories fundraiser event for the Surrey/North Delta/White Rock region. The Investors Group Walk for Memories in support of the Alzheimer’s Society of British Columbia takes place on Jan. 25 from 1-3:30 p.m. at Eaglequest Golf at Coyote Creek, 7778 152 St. Registration begins at 11 a.m. For more details, visit www. alzheimerbc.org

70,000 reasons to walk • Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive and degenerative brain

illness, which causes thinking and memory to become seriously impaired. • Several medications are available to treat some symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. However, they do not stop its progression. • More than 70,000 British Columbians have Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. • 10,000 of them are under 65. • Women represent 72 per cent of Canadians living with Alzheimer’s disease. • The Alzheimer’s Society works to promote brain health, support those living with the disease and their families, challenge the stigma of Alzheimer’s disease, and support research for effective treatments and a cure.

hite Rock music lovers â€“ and those keen to expand their knowledge of the classical repertoire â€“ have more treats in store in 2015. Among them are a new year of Encore Peninsula Concerts and the City of White Rock presenting high-level international classical musicians in a series of afternoon performances at First United Church. In the first Encore Peninsula concert this year (Sunday, Jan. 25 at 3 p.m.), series impresario, pianist and music educator Eugene Skovorodnikov will present a program of trio works by Sergei Rachmaninoff and Dimitri Shostakovich, with Peter Krysa (violin) and Ariel Barnes (cello). For those whose notions of classical music are stereotypes of bombastic symphonic conductors and operatic excess, the series offers an eye-opening opportunity to learn about the aesthetic subtlety and versatility of the chamber music format. And Skovorodnikov makes a point of providing interesting background before each performance, including biographical detail about the composers and the personal events and socio-historic context that inspired each piece. But the most important connection audience members should make with the music comes from their own emotions, he said. â€œI tell people they donâ€™t have to understand the music â€“ just relax and open your heart,â€? he said. â€œFeel whatever you feel. It doesnâ€™t matter whether

upcoming performance, Skovorodnikov explained. â€œThese particular trios are extremely demanding for a cello player â€“ in late romantic and postromantic pieces like these the cello becomes an absolutely equal voice with the piano and violin, rather than the basso continuo role it played earlier, in Mozartâ€™s trios, for example.â€? Both trios, he noted, are of â€œa very tragic nature,â€? even though both include moments of exhilaration. Rachmaninoff â€™s Trio elegiaque No. 2 was written to memorialize Tchaikovsky after the latterâ€™s unexpected â€“ and still mysterious â€“ death in 1893. â€œItâ€™s a tribute to a great artist â€“ an early work, very passionate and very

Summit set for Saturday Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Two continuing inspirations in the field of jazz and big band music will be special guests at Semiahmoo Artsâ€™ fifth annual South End Summit, Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Wheelhouse Theatre. Canadaâ€™s King of Swing, Dal Richards â€“ now in his 97th year and still fronting an orchestra â€“ will be back to present his annual scholarship at the event, which highlights the senior jazz bands from the three Peninsula high schools: Semiahmoo, Earl Marriott and Elgin Park. And Dave Proznick, former director of Semiahmooâ€™s band program â€“ who taught the current co-director, Dagan Lowe, when he was a Semi student â€“ will be on hand to MC the evening. Guest musical artist will be Vancouver-based professional saxophonist, clarinetist and flautist Ben Henriques, another Semi grad who also honed his musical chops under Proznickâ€™s direction. Proceeds from the event will go to all three band programs, and studentsâ€™ talents will be spotlighted both in concert selections and also in a pre-concert combo kicking off the evening at 7 p.m. The Wheelhouse Theatre is located inside Earl Marriott Secondary, at 15751 16 Ave. Tickets ($20, $15 students and seniors) are available at Tapestry Music and from Semiahmoo Arts, at 604536-8333.

youthful,â€? he said. Shostakovichâ€™s Second Piano Trio is similarly dedicated to its composerâ€™s great friend and frequent collaborator, the intellectual Ivan Sollertinsky, who died in 1944. Skovorodnikov, who did his doctoral thesis on Shostakovichâ€™s 24 Preludes, said the piece typifies the composerâ€™s work in hiding a subtext of commentary underneath pieces designed to mollify Stalinist dictates (Shostakovich twice faced denunciation as an â€œenemy of the peopleâ€? for being too willing to embrace western musical ideas) â€“ and also marks his fascination with Jewish culture in the use of themes evocative of klesmer music. Other concerts in the season will also offer a rich feast of musical styles. The locally-based piano duo of Elizabeth and Marcel Bergmann will be highlighted on Feb. 22, featuring pieces by jazz-inspired 20th century master George Gershwin, and also original compositions by Marcel. Kosovar violinist Sihana Badivuku will be highlighted on March 29, joined by Skovorodnikov, in a concert of profoundly emotional compositions by Beethoven and Brahms. Concluding the 2014-15 season will be a concert by Paris-based pianist Hugues Leclere, focusing on the impressionist style of fellow-countrymen Debussy and Faure.

Composer nominated for original songs

Oscar nod for Surrey man Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A Surrey-based movie has been shortlisted for a 2014 Oscar award. Work Weather Wife, directed and co-produced by Surrey’s Harpreet Sandhu, features two songs – Moon and Long Braid – which are among 79 songs vying for a Best Original Song nomination at this year’s Academy Awards. It is the only Canadian film to be shortlisted in the category. “It’s a competition with the big fishes,” acknowledges Sandhu, who composed both songs. The Punjabi-language feature film, which Sandhu also wrote and stars in, follows an Indian couple who are tricked into letting a con-man into their home. The

He was thrilled, after an arduous application and screening process, to learn in mid-December that the movie’s music had been noticed among thousands of submissions. “It felt good,” he said, adding he’s

also pleased his team’s talents were appreciated. “Everyone wants their work to be recognized.” The movie is up against some heavy hitters, however. Songs from big-budget Hollywood blockbusters such as The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and The Lego Movie are included on the list, with just a handful to be chosen as official nominees. Work Weather Wife opened in Canada last November, with screenings across the country, including in Guildford and Strawberry Hill theatres. Nominees for the 87th Academy Awards are to be announced today (Thursday). The Oscars will be held Feb. 22.

was big enough for a bowl of water. Please note, Mr Chevy. Having the navigation system was great as getting to our destination was a little tricky, and finding our way in the dark could have been a minor trial. Our friendly ‘nav-lady’ delivered us easily. I especially liked getting plenty of warning about upcoming turns. Some navigation systems instruct you to turn at the very last moment, which is not helpful. Often our ‘nav-lady’ gave us two warnings sometimes even three ‘turn left in 250 metres’, ‘turn left in 100 metres’. Believe me it was comforting. All the places we wanted to visit parks, malls, trails and shops were easily found with no hassles. In Tacoma, a third dog joined us for adventures around town – Beau, a large

yellow lab. Everyone knows labs are eternal puppies who enjoy good times no matter where they land. This happy boy landed in the cargo area with the other two and still there was plenty of room for all three dogs with nary a complaint about someone’s paw being on someone’s side.

Truck on the level

Your new truck looks great in front of your home, but why does the front sit lower than the back? If you find yourself pondering this question, you are not alone. This “feature” is very common with the trucks of today, but there is a solution to this problem. Revtek Industries was founded in 2000 to market unique Toyota suspension lift systems, but since those early days, the company has gone on to develop systems for the Ford Super-duty truck, the Ford F150s, Ram, Jeep, Nissan Titan and the Toyota Tundra. Suspension upgrades and improvements are becoming tougher and tougher to manufacture. The days when you could throw away your stock leaf-springs and stick in the largest leaf-spring you could find are over. Now you have to worry more about steering geometry and wheelalignment specs. Revtek offers a complete line of suspension systems designed to level your vehicle, and offer you the option to increase tire size. Most levelling systems maintain the original springs, so you can maintain a smooth ride. In my view, Revtek has the most installer-friendly kits available and the manufacturer utilizes the best materials – billet aircraft aluminum (higher grade of aluminum with no imperfections), powdercoated cast aluminum and specialty polyurethane, which meet or exceed original-equipment specifications. Whether you choose a complete lift, or just to level the front end, Revtek likely has a solution for many of today’s most popular vehicles.

The 2015 Volvo Polestar shows off the evolution of the Swedish brand. of it the most. Add in razor-sharp steering and running errands just doesn’t feel like a chore anymore. Then there’s what really gets the party started. Under its hood is a 3.0L, turbo-charged T6 engine that produces the aforementioned 345 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Torque is harnessed as low as 2,800 rpm and then delivered via a 6-speed automatic transmission. Paddle shifters also come as standard equipment. If there were to be more of a kick while accelerating quickly, that would be welcome, but not necessary. Speaking of acceleration, getting up to 100km/h from zero takes

a mere 4.9 seconds. Getting you back to zero is made possible by using Polestar’s 14.6-inch ventilated front discs matched with six-piston Brembo calipers with 11.8-inch ventilated discs in the rear. The only drawback of the Polestar, I found, was its turning radius. Tight turns at low speeds wasn’t ideal, but if you need to a three- or four-point turn to get into the mall’s cramped parking stalls, so be it. The Volvo V60 Polestar is available in limited quantities and has an MSRP of $66,895. Visit www.volvocars.ca for more alexandra.straub@ drivewaybc.ca

wo teams from the BC Hockey League’s Interior Division left the South Surrey Arena with two points last weekend, as both the Merritt Centennials and Vernon Vipers topped the Surrey Eagles. The Cents edged the Eagles 5-4 Friday night, while Vernon won 5-3 on Sunday evening. With five consecutive losses in as many games this month, the Eagles are now 7-31-3 (wonloss-overtime loss) with 17 games remaining on the schedule. They are 18 points out of a playoff position, trailing the fourth-place Coquitlam Express in the Mainland Division standings. Surrey tried to come from behind in both losses. In each of the first two periods against the Vipers, the Eagles scored first only to give up the next two goals. Surrey’s Ben Vikich notched the game’s first goal after nine minutes of play, but the Lakers led 2-1 after 20 minutes. A goal from Latrell Charleson four minutes into the second period pulled the Eagles into a 2-2 tie, but the Vipers netted a pair of late goals for a 4-2 advantage after two periods. Vernon made it 5-2 with a powerplay effort early in the third period, before Surrey native Jordan Funk

notched his second of the year with 11 minutes to play. Vernon had a wide edge in play, outshooting the Eagles 33-18. The Eagles were also outshot by a wide margin Friday night as the Centennials had a 34-23 edge, but Surrey came up only one goal short after a rally in the last 21 minutes. Darius Davidson scored Surrey’s first goal, which cut a Merritt lead to 2-1 in the first period. The lead was 5-1 in the second period when the Eagles started chipping away at the deficit. Quinn Lenihan got the home team’s second goal with 28 seconds left before the second intermission. Charleson then tallied twice early in the third to get the Eagles to within one. Davidson assisted on three goals to finish with four points on the night. A pair of Mainland Division teams are the opponents next weekend, as the first-place Langley Rivermen visit the South Surrey Arena Friday night at 7:11 p.m. The Eagles are in Chilliwack to play the second-place Chiefs Saturday.

Eight-point weekend coming up

Hawks set to take on Giants

A N I N V I TAT I O N TO A P U B L I C O P E N H O U S E

Rick Kupchuk

Dear Resident(s):

Sports Reporter

The best teams in the BC Hockey Major Midget League don’t intimidate the Valley West Hawks. But it’s the weaker teams they should be concerned about. “We have this annoying tendency to play up to the level of the good teams in this league, and play down to the level of the weaker teams,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung, explaining why his team struggled while taking three of four points from the Thompson Blazers last weekend. Against an opponent with just one victory in 24 games prior to their clash with Valley West, the Hawks won a sloppy 6-4 game Saturday night in Chase then played to a 3-3 tie Sunday in Kamloops. “Thompson was a desperate team and played hard,” said Leung. “But this should be a wakeup call for us. We didn’t play like we’re supposed to play.” Valley West got into a shootout with the Blazers Saturday night, exchanging the lead twice in the opening period. Thompson needed just 77 seconds to take a 1-0 lead, but goals from Trevor Ayre and Erik Bocale – both from the Semiahmoo Minor Hockey Association – just 48 seconds apart had the Hawks in a 2-1 lead. Two goals in the last eight minutes of the opening session had the home team in front 3-2 at the first intermission. Valley West netted the first two goals of the second period for a 4-3 lead, with Wyatt Hicks of Langley and Jeffrey Stewart of Semiahmoo scoring. Thompson came back to tie the score again at 4-4 after 40 minutes. Ayre netted his second of the game with 14 minutes to play to give the Hawks the lead for

Planning & Design for Development of Surrey Centre Cemetery Please join us for a Public Open House to receive information and provide feedback on the proposed conceptual plans for the future development of Surrey Centre Cemetery. City Staff are currently working with a Cemetery design consultant and have developed two conceptual design options that seek to make best use of the remaining unused cemetery lands. These designs will incorporate a variety of interment and memorialization options with the goal of improving services for Surrey’s diverse population. The design consultants and cemetery staff will provide information about the project, receive community feedback and answer questions regarding potential plans. The information gathered at this meeting will help to further guide the design of the Cemetery. The Open House will be held on:

Date: Wednesday January 21st, 2015 Time: 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Location: Christ Church 16631 Old McLellan Road, Surrey Parking: If arriving by car please use 60th Avenue entrance to Surrey Centre Cemetery and park on cemetery driveway. Closet major intersection 60th Avenue and 168th Street

Semiahmoo’s Jeffrey Stewart was among scorers at Sunday’s game. good. James Malm of Langley added a goal in the last minute of play. Valley West had to come from behind on Sunday to get the tie. Ben Evanish of White Rock tallied 28 seconds into the game, but by the time the contest was 25 minutes old, the Blazers held a 3-1 lead. Christian Bosa of Langley cut the difference to 3-2 with a second-period goal, then Ayre tied it up with five minutes to play. Langley defenceman Cole MacEwan had a pair of assists. The Hawks are now 14-7-5 (won-lost-tied) and are in fifth place in the 13-team league, two points back of the Vancouver Chiefs with two games in hand.

“We’re disappointed we didn’t get four points against the Blazers, but we’re still in good shape,” said Leung. “If we get three of four points every weekend, we’ll be all right.” Valley West will play twice against the defending league champion Vancouver Giants this weekend, facing off Saturday at 7:45 p.m. in the Burnaby Winter Club and again Sunday at 11 a.m. at the Langley Events Centre. The Giants are third in the MML with an 18-7-1 record, four points better than the Hawks. “We have an opportunity against the Giants,” said Leung. “We have a chance to catch them in the standings. It’s an eightpoint weekend.”

Kwantlen finishes in sixth place tĂůŵĂƌƚ Ύ Rick Kupchuk Sports Reporter

In the first of seven consecutive home games, the Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) Eagles men’s basketball team earned a come-frombehind 85-78 victory over the Columbia Bible College (CBC) Bearcats Friday night at KPU’s Surrey campus. It was just the second win in eight starts for KPU, but it is enough to claim sole possession of sixth place in the eight-team PACWEST (Pacific Western Conference) standings. “We played great defense, we did a great job in the second half boxing out and it showed,” said Eagles head coach Vladimir Nikic. “We controlled the tempo in the fourth quarter, but above all again we moved the ball and that’s why we won the game.” The Bearcats, in the league

basement at 1-7 (won-lost), led 23-11 after the first quarter and built the lead to 19 points at 38-19 midway through the second. KPU cut the difference to 12 points by halftime, and trailed by just four points at threequarter time. After pulling even 78-78, KPU scored the last seven points of the contest. First-year guard Brenden Bailey with 28 points and rookie Matt Cooley with 25 handled the build of Kwantlen’s scoring. Cooley, a six-foot-nine forward, was the top rebounder with 12. Delview Secondary graduate Jaiten Rana, also a first-year guard, added 19 points. KPU will host the 7-1 Quest Kermodes of Squamish Friday night, and the 1-7 Capilano Blues on Saturday. Both games tip off at 8 p.m. The KPU women’s team struggled with a short bench,

and fell 72-50 to the CBC Bearcats Friday night. The Eagles trailed 12-8, 22-17 and 43-33 at the quarter breaks, and fell to 1-7 on the season. The leading KPU scorers were Haeley Williams with 18 points and Holy Cross high school grad Jessica Villadiego with 14. “It’s been a tough season for us as we have battled injury and illness, as well as a short bench since opening day,” said Eagles head coach Dan Nayebzadeh, “We are a good team, we know it. We just need to get a bit of confidence back and work hard as a team during practice as well as in games.” The women’s team will also host Quest and Capilano next week, with games set for 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The Kermodes are alone in first place at 8-0, while the Blues are four games back at 4-4.

‘Great start’ for Aquasonics

Rick Kupchuk

Sports Reporter

The BC Aquasonics enjoyed a nearperfect weekend at the Lower Mainland Regional Synchronized Swimming Championships last month. The local club not only hosted the competition at the Surrey Sports and Leisure Centre, they placed first in the Junior Team, Junior Combo and Junior Duet categories. “It was a great start to the season,” said Aquasonics head coach Susan Kemper. “We have some crazy routines this year – Cannibals and Zombies and Aliens – that really enable our athletes to show the kind of fierce competitors they are. We are here to win. And that’s what we did.” Competing in the National Stream, the Junior A Team placed first with its Cannibals Routine. Surrey athletes Judith Gerhalter, Marlene Gerhalter,

OBITUARIES YUE, Betty December 25, 1926 January 7, 2015

It is with immeasurable sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Betty Yue, a truly kind and gentle woman, devoted wife to husband Dr KW Yue (predeceased) and a loving mother to sons Christopher & Geoffrey. Born in England, Betty spent the better part of her life in Vancouver & Ocean Park, where she found great joy creating and nurturing glorious natural gardens in those special places she called home. Betty’s serenity and grace continues to shine on her loved ones and extended family, including niece Gillian (Julian), daughter-in-law Della, and her many, many dear friends. The family thanks everyone who expressed their support during this trying time, particularly the nurses at Peace Arch Hospital who cared for her in the final days. A celebration of Betty’s remarkable life is planned for March at a time and place yet to be determined. Betty will be remembered forever by all those blessed to have known her; meanwhile, we take some comfort in the belief that the Lord’s garden now has the perfect caretaker in residence.
