Between 1995 and 2009, police were hunting for the man who had been sexually assaulting children in Vancouver, Delta and Surrey with increasing violence. DNA evidence had ruled out 561 suspects, and crime analysts had narrowed down the most likely suspect to one man – Ibata Hexamer. He was watched by police as he threw a coffee cup away, an item that when tested, matched the DNA found on victims. Hexamer pled guilty to the crimes. “Had we not been called in and applied our approach to it, and they stayed with traditional policing investigative techniques on this file, we might not have caught him on the second hit, or the next, or the next,” Vancouver Police Department Special Const. Ryan Prox said in a book titled Eliminating Crime.

Hospitals in the Fraser Health region have improved slightly from the spring on key indicators of congestion, but large numbers of incoming patients continue to wait too long to get a bed. Fraser Health’s latest report card suggests a persistent problem still remains – despite repeated initiatives to improve

patient flow. As of September, it shows just under 40 per cent of admitted patients got a bed within a 10-hour benchmark so far this year. That’s far below a target of 55 per cent, which is itself lower than more ambitious targets that had been set in previous years and subsequently discarded. A 2012 congestion review warned hallway medicine was so rampant in Fraser that staff were resigned that the jammed conditions would remain “intractable.” At that time, just 51 per cent of patients admitted through emergency were getting a bed within 10 hours.

The 39.8-per-cent rate for 2015 is up from 35 per cent last May. Just two hospitals – Burnaby and Fraser Canyon – are currently meeting the 55-percent target for admission within 10 hours. The majority of incoming patients wait longer than that at every other Fraser Health hospital. And two-thirds or more of the patients are waiting longer than 10 hours at Surrey Memorial, Delta, Abbotsford Regional, Chilliwack General, Eagle Ridge and Ridge Meadows hospitals. continued on page 4

People gathering in honour of terror victims KEVIN DIAKIW

In response to two terror attacks in Beirut and Paris, local interfaith groups are holding a pilgrimage today (Friday) in honour of the dead. On Thursday, Nov. 12, bombs exploded in southern Beirut, Lebanon, killing 43 and injuring more than 200. The following day, in a series of bombings and mass shootings, 129 people were killed in Paris, France, with more than 400 injured. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has claimed responsibility for the attacks. On Tuesday, three Surrey groups announced plans for an “Interfaith Pilgrimage” to honour those those died in the attacks in the two cities. The event is also hoped to foster friendship between people of different backgrounds, religious beliefs and world views. The groups planned to meet at Northwood United Church

(8855 156 St.) at 9 a.m. Friday, Nov. 20 and march to the Surrey Jamea Masjid (12407 156 St.) in time for participants to join the Muslim community for prayers at 12:30 p.m. The route will also go past four other places of worship: Bear Creek Community Church, Brookside Sikh Gurdwara, Laxmi Narayana Hindu Mandir and Canadian Singh Sabha Sikh Gurdwara. There will be a small ceremony at each site. The pilgrimage is open to all members of the community at no cost. Event organizers are from various beliefs, including Islam, Christianity, atheism, Bahá’í, Sikhism, Hinduism and Buddhism. “When we are confronted with deep loss, fear often ▶ “Each one emerges in our thoughts.

As promised in last year’s election, Surrey has hired a director of public safety strategies in hopes of better utilizing crime-fighting personnel and strategies in the city. Surrey has hired Dr. Terry Waterhouse, the current chief safety officer at Simon Fraser University. Waterhouse will work with the Officer in Charge of the RCMP, the Surrey fire chief, bylaw personnel and external agencies with an eye to optimize all crime-fighting resources available to Surrey. Waterhouse has worked in his capacity at SFU since 2011 and before that was a faculty member of criminology and criminal justice director for safe schools and communities at the University of the Fraser Valley. From 1986 to 1996, he was a constable with the Vancouver Police Department. Much of his work after that involved preventing kids from getting involved in crime. He also has experience with the United Nations in enhancing service provision for the Sudan Prison Service, worked Dr. Terry Waterhouse with the police service in Kosovo and helped develop juvenile justice in Ethiopia. Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said she is pleased to have secured Waterhouse for the job. “The diverse and lengthy experience that Dr. Waterhouse brings as the new director of public safety strategies for Surrey is unparalleled,” Hepner said. “From his global experience with the most vulnerable, at-risk youth to his knowledge and expertise in the integration of public safety best practices, Dr. Waterhouse’s technical skills, academic background and leadership abilities will serve him well in this critical role for the city.” Waterhouse will begin his new role effective Dec. 7.

▶ LENGTH OF STAYS IN HOSPITAL IS ALSO DECREASING In contrast, neighbouring Vancouver Coastal health authority reported it’s essentially meeting the same target, with more than 54 per cent of its patients getting a bed within 10 hours. From April to August, Fraser Health averaged 204 patients across its hospitals who were admitted but not yet given a proper bed and were instead being treated in ERs, hallways, lounges or other non-acute care areas. That’s down from 222 in the spring, but still in excess of a target of

165 or less. However, Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said the latest data available shows a further drop in October to 199 and all of those patients are now in ER beds, not hallways. Juma credited the improving trend to Fraser Health’s decision to use $5 million to hire more staff to prevent unnecessary hospital admissions, support weekend discharges and speed transfers from emergency to inpatient units. “That investment

that we had made earlier in the year is starting to pay off,” she said. “We are starting to see that number now come down and are effectively no longer using hallway beds to provide the care to the patients.” Another bright spot in the report card is that the average length of stay in hospital is down to 8.2 days, within 10 per cent of the target of 7.8 days, also indicating improving patient flow through wards to residential or home care. But too many “long-

stay patients” are still occupying hospital beds for more than 30 days. And too many extra days that don’t need to be spent in hospital happen while patients that could be discharged wait for transfer to a care home or to home care or other specialized care with supports. Fraser says it plans to open 34 new residential care beds soon to help improve that flow. Juma predicted the ongoing work to add residential beds and improve community

capacity “is also going to have impact as we start to move people out of the hospital into the places they need to be in the community and then out of those emergency beds into those inpatient beds.” Overall, the eight out of 30 indicators on the report card are meeting target, 16 are within 10 per cent of targets, and six are well off-target and a priority for improvement. Fraser Health is beating the provincial target for speedy repair of hip fractures. And

the rate of C. difficile antibiotic-resistant infections is now below the provincial target. Hand hygiene is also strong, with 88 per cent of staff washing correctly in audits, compared to an 80-percent provincial target. The two Lower Mainland health authorities both publish report cards but don’t report all the same indicators. Vancouver Coastal has a target for keeping surgery wait times in excess of 52 weeks to no more than two per cent of cases, and its report card shows that was 1.1 per cent as of August. Fraser does not report that statistic – Juma said it is redundant because the details are available on the province’s surgery wait times website. She said the proportion of surgeries in Fraser waiting longer than 52 weeks was 2.4 per cent in 2014-15, down from 5.7 per cent in 2010-11. The average wait time for surgeries in Fraser has declined from more than 14 weeks in 2010-11 to 11 weeks as of last year, while the number of surgeries performed increased about 2.4 per cent to 85,000 procedures.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled there is evidence the RCMP “were engaged unlawful acts” during an undercover sting that led to a Surrey couple being arrested and later convicted of planning to bomb the Victoria parliament buildings on Canada Day 2013. John Nuttall and Amanda Korody were found guilty earlier this year of one count each of conspiring to commit murder and possessing explosives for the benefit or on behalf of a terrorist organization. The verdicts were not entered, however, due to a defence application for a stay of proceedings. Defence lawyers argue RCMP officers entrapped the couple during a months-long police sting in 2013 – dubbed Project Souvenir – that culminated in

Amanda Korody and John Nuttall were found guilty earlier this year for planning to bomb the Victoria legislature. FILE PHOTOS Nuttall and Korody’s arrest after inert pressure cooker bombs were planted outside the B.C. legislature. “In this case there is evidence that the RCMP’s actions during Project Souvenir constituted the offence of facilitation of a terrorist activity,” said Justice Catherine Bruce in her Nov. 17 finding in response to a defence application for all legal opinions provided to the RCMP during the investigation.

During Nuttall and Korody’s criminal trial, which began in February, the jury saw and heard more than 100 hours of undercover video and audio evidence collected by the RCMP as undercover officers posing as Islamic extremist sympathizers befriended and worked with the couple, who had recently converted to the Muslim faith. continued on page 8

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Will you be supporting or relying on the Surrey Christmas Bureau this year? To answer, go to the home page of our website at surreyleader.com

Last week we asked: Are getting a flu shot this year? Here’s how you responded:

Yes 55% No 45%

Free up school funds now Five hundred more students will be coming to Surrey schools as an expected 1,000 or more Syrian refugees settle here within the next few months. Surrey is expected to take at least one-third of the 3,000 or so refugees expected in B.C. The new federal Liberal government is fast-tracking refugee claims to meet its campaign commitment to settle 25,000 Syrian refugees in Canada by the end of the year. News that Surrey schools will get another 500 students, in addition to the already burgeoning population at schools in many fast-growing areas of Surrey, has caused the school district to take a close look at how it can cope with the added students. While it has many programs to help new students from other countries adjust, including its Welcome Centre, where settlement and multicultural workers help place students in the right settings, district communications manager Doug Strachan said it does not have all the resources it needs to take on so many students. In particular, there will be a need for more language and assessment specialists. There may also be additional transportation costs, as schools that do have room may be some distance from where refugee families will actually be living. Numerous Surrey schools are already heavily overcrowded. In particular, elementary schools in

three areas of the city have been hit hard with more students than they expected. The greatest pressure is in Clayton, Morgan Creek and south Newton – all fast-growing areas with plenty of new housing. Surrey was expecting an additional 250 students in September. Instead, there were 950 at the doors. Many of these were at schools that already have a significant number of portable classrooms. Surrey is by far the largest school district in the province, with 70,000 students. There is much that is positive about the influx of new students. It is an incredible learning opportunity for current students. This, and the ability to help people who have been suffering while forced to leave their homes, motivates school district staff. “What they’ve lived through is just incredible and you see them blossom athletically, academically, and really contribute,” Strachan said of refugees. Surrey has had experience with refugee students before, but not on this scale. In the past – such as when refugees were fleeing Burma’s civil war about seven years ago – the district welcomed as many as 60 to 80 at one time. Premier Christy Clark has said the B.C. government will do all it can to help accommodate the Syrian refugees. Her

government’s commitment to fully participate in this process is laudable. In the case of Surrey School District in particular, the provincial government can show leadership by making more funds available to help students settle in quickly. These funds could be used not just to hire teachers and staff, but also to ease overcrowding at schools. The province could also, in the medium term, take another look at the school district’s capital plan. Given that there were 700 more students than expected in September, and another 500 are coming through the refugee process, the school district needs many more classrooms. The province must be prudent and add space where it will be needed for the long term, so that there aren’t a large number of vacant classrooms in 20 years. The school district has already received approval to build a new high school in Clayton, where the existing high school (and neighbouring Lord Tweedsmuir) are both well past their capacity. Some quick action in making more funds available to build schools and add classrooms would be a tangible way the provincial government can help.

True leadership is more than a title CHIEF CHATS ▼

Jim Cessford

Having a title does not make a leader. Prime minister, pope, president – all of these positions bring with them a great deal of power and inherent respect, but they do not necessarily grant the title-holder the ability to lead well. Leadership is not about position, leadership is an activity. Being an effective leader involves treating people with dignity and respect. It is about being a role model, coach, mentor and serving above self. Strong actions will give people confidence and encourage them to follow. I watched the federal election with great interest and I contemplated whether Justin Trudeau was ready or not, and I judged him against other candidates. But as the election campaign carried on, I began to realize the subtle, yet powerful leadership attributes in the young Trudeau. He possesses natural leadership

skills that engaged our country in a debate about who we are as Canadians and what we represent both domestically and on the international scene. He reminded us of what it means to be Canadian with his eternal optimism about the future, and his charismatic nature inspired our social conscience. Prime Minister Trudeau, throughout the course of the campaign, did not engage in disparaging behaviours towards other candidates. He defended himself when necessary and remained strong when he was subject of personal attacks and ridicule. As the days moved closer to the election, there was a distinct shift in power. The results of the election shocked some, elated others and left all Canadians looking to the new Prime Minister to lead us into the future. In his campaign, the soon-to-be elect-

ed prime minister made strong commitments to youth, seniors, veterans, immigrants and refugees, scientists, and to Canadians as a whole. Trudeau was relevant and he was inclusive. He has officially been granted the title of prime minister, but this has not yet made him a successful leader. He will be faced with extremely difficult decisions, he will be challenged by international agendas and he will at some point, lead Canada through some form of crises. With the recent events in Paris, that crisis may be upon us now. As the prime minister establishes himself as our leader, it is my hope that he maintains the core values he espoused during his election campaign. He showed himself to be an ethical man

As he is faced with challenges, we will learn whether he is a leader that will do the right thing and make decisions in the best interest of all Canadians.

▼ SURREY DROPPING THE BALL ON SINGLE-FAMILY HOME STANDARDS

Not bullets and bombs

▼ TERRORISM IS THE SYSTEMIC INJURING OF A SOCIETY BY IGNITING THE DARKNESS ALREADY IN ALL OF US

We call them barbarians and ourselves civilized. But they know what we will never acknowledge openly and honestly: that barbarism is alive and well in each of us – ready to rise at the first sign of danger to our shores. Already in Canada there are attacks on Muslims and cries to ban the refugees. Compassion and love are sacrificed to hate and mistrust. It’s racism in France on wings to the rest of the world; horror extended beyond their borders to innocents in every country and every camp. Do you think it coincidence that a passport linking a suicide bomber to the Syrian refugees was left at the scene? Like the guy just forgot to blow it up along with all his other body parts? Terrorism is not bullets and bombs. It is the ruthless and systematic injuring of a society by igniting the darkness already in us, and by setting one citizen against another in the hope that we will destroy ourselves and leave the field open. Or at least be too busy to notice the machine guns tiptoeing in. I’ve heard it said that fear and guilt are the only enemies of humankind. It is not ISIS that needs to be annihilated, but the weakness in our own hearts - our judgments, our prejudices, our persecuted people. Squashing Al Qaeda merely ushered forth a bigger evil in ISIS. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you and there will be no breeding ground in Canada for radical extremists, Muslim or otherwise. Maureen Kerr, Surrey

I grew up in Richmond in the 1980s and 1990s, the land of farms and ditches, and would have loved to have continued to live there. Unfortunately, with increased housing prices and other massive changes, my husband and I opted to move out a little further and plant our roots in Surrey. This is a decision we do not regret in the least. Surrey has so much to offer and really is the up-and-coming city in British Columbia. However, as we walk through our neighbourhood it is clear that the city has really dropped the ball. Having grown up in Richmond, I never once saw a drainpipe jet out of the middle of someone’s lawn, I never saw homes being built so close together and in the most absurd places, and I never saw poorly built homes. So poorly built, in fact, that I can see errors that have clearly been overlooked with my own bare eyes. These cookie-cutter single-family homes, within months of being built, are already eye-

sores and are aesthetically ruining neighbourhoods around Surrey, specifically in our Sullivan Heights area. This isn’t something I see from time to time as I walk through our neighbourhood, it is an issue with every single-family home that has been built since we moved into this community more than four years ago. With Sullivan Heights being the final area in Surrey for large amounts of new development, I shake my head at the fact the city has been so lazy in maintaining high building standards for new homes. If Surrey so desperately wants to be a destination for future families and a main hub in the Lower Mainland, why on Earth is it allowing builders to remove old-growth trees and toss up homes (these places are done within months of breaking ground) with no attention to detail or aesthetics?

While the Crown argued Nuttall and Korody knew what they were doing and intended to kill or harm hundreds of innocent people, the defence contended the two, who were former heroin addicts living in a Surrey basement suite, were manipulated with money, clothing and spiritual guidance. Bruce said this week the evidence supports a conclusion that police helped facilitate the couple’s ability to commit terrorist activity by providing them cash, tools and a hotel room to work from, among other things. “In my view, the defence

have raised at least a prima facie case that the RCMP officers involved in Project Souvenir were engaged in unlawful acts during the undercover operation,” said Bruce. “Further, it is apparent that they sought legal advice concerning this aspect of their investigation.” She ordered that Crown disclose to defence lawyers the legal advice that was provided to the RCMP. (The Crown argued, unsuccessfully, the disclosure would violate solicitor-client privilege). Bruce said a decision on whether to stay the charges can only be made after all the evidence at the entrapment hearing is heard. She said a finding of illegal acts alone

Electrical gear One month, 162 stolen cars recovered thefts a $200K hit SHEILA REYNOLDS

In one month, Surrey RCMP recovered 162 stolen vehicles as part of its Project Hot Wheels initiative. Spearheaded by the Auto Crime Target Team with assistance from several other units, Project Hot Wheels – intended to make a dent in auto theft crime – took place from Sept. 28 to Oct. 29. In addition to recovering the stolen vehicles, police

604-582-8000

made 16 arrests and laid 59 charges. One young offender had more than 150 past interactions with police and was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant. Another was found in possession of a sizeable amount of herion and methamphetamine. And two others arrested in a stolen vehicle were on their way to committing an armed robbery. Officers involved also

helped with investigations spanning multiple jurisdictions, including executing a search warrant at a known chop shop, arresting a prison escapee and the arrest of five people for crimes spanning the Lower Mainland to Manning Park. If you see a theft of auto or theft from auto in progress, please call 911. If you have information about these or any other crimes, all 604599-0502.

▶ INDUSTRIAL GRADE EQUIPMENT TAKEN FROM CAMPBELL HEIGHTS SHOPS TRACY HOLMES

Surrey RCMP are appealing to the public for help following a pair of thefts in recent months targeting industrial-grade electrical equipment at a Campbell Heights business. The latest occurred Oct. 29, when culprits made off with two transformers, one of which weighed 6,350 kilograms (14,000 pounds). And on Aug. 26, several pieces of

equipment were damaged and valuable internal materials were taken. Both thefts occurred at a business in the 19700-block of 27 Avenue, and total losses have been estimated at $200,000. In a news release issued Wednesday, Sgt. Paul Hayes noted the more recent theft took a concerted effort. “The two transformers in question are very large and extremely heavy and would have required vehicles with lifting equipment and several persons to complete the theft,” he said. Anyone with information on the crimes is asked to contact police at 604-599-0502.

Salmon season keeps hatchery volunteers busy â–ś LITTLE CAMPBELL HATCHERY CAN SEE HUNDREDS OF FISH A DAY

â–ś “This year, the river was so low, they were struggling.â€?

TRACY HOLMES

BOB DONNELLY

Every day for the past two weeks – and for at least a few more to come – volunteers at the Little Campbell Hatchery have been getting a workout, scooping and counting salmon that are making their instinct-driven sojourn up the river. The bicep-building effort has been an annual tradition since 1982, and at the height of the run “there’ll be hundreds a day� through the 1284 184 St. hatchery’s fish trap, said Bob Donnelly, president of the hatchery and Semiahmoo Fish & Game Club. “Two years ago, one day we had 1,500. When they’re running fast, we have to be here all day long.� Friday morning, more than 100 salmon were logged, the majority of them coho. Scooped by net from the steel trap, each fish is identified by species, then checked for

clipped fins – to determine if they’re wild or hatchery-raised – before being released to continue up the river. It’s an effort that’s repeated every day from about 9 a.m. until 8 p.m. throughout the run. Donnelly said the resulting statistics have become an important source of information for the fishery, helping track the populations and determine survival rates, including of hatchery fish themselves. With concerns about the future of salmon in the river running particularly high – as the City of Surrey considers a proposal for a truck park eyed for a site less than three kilometres away – Donnelly is hopeful public awareness of the ongoing efforts will keep the river’s health at the forefront

of the discussion. It has been a priority for volunteers for 59 years. Typically, the hatchery raises about 100,000 coho every year, along with thousands more cutthroat, steelhead and chinook. Returns of the latter were “way down� this year, Donnelly noted. Just 184 chinook were counted last month, compared to 324 last year, and it’s believed the preceding dry spell is to blame. “This year, the river was so low, they were struggling,� Donnelly said. “We’ve never seen the river that low.� Donnelly emphasized that efforts at the hatchery are not intended to replace the wild salmon population, but augment it. Wednesday, volunteers collected fertilized coho eggs for distribution to schools as part of the Salmon in the Classroom program. Students will raise the fish and bring the fry for release into the river next spring. Members of the public interested in seeing the spawning salmon firsthand are welcome to drop by the 30-acre property during daylight hours.

Former soldier struck while walking for gas ▶ AFGHANISTAN VETERAN RAISED FUNDS FOR WOUNDED WARRIORS CHARITY MONIQUE TAMMINGA

A 29-year-old Cloverdale native who survived the battlefields of Afghanistan is now in hospital after being hit by a truck on 232 Street last Thursday evening. Just before 5 p.m. Nov. 12, newlywed John Lowe was on his

way to visit his grandmother in Langley in his old pick-up truck – a vehicle that was a replacement for his other old Dodge, which had recently been stolen. The truck doesn’t have a working gas gauge, so Lowe unwittingly ran out of gas while taking the 232 Street exit. There was a torrential downpour at the time. According to the gofundme page “John Lowe’s Recovery Fund,” he phoned his dad, Ray, who said he would pick up a gas can and meet him at the truck.

When his dad arrived there was no one at the truck, but he did see a large contingent of emergency vehicles and lights flashing closer to the Chevron gas station. According to Langley RCMP, it appears Lowe was walking to the gas station when he was struck crossing the road. He was hit by a one-tonne GMC Sierra truck, traveling north on 232 at 72 Avenue. The driver of the truck stopped immediately and tried to help. Lowe suffered multi-

ple injuries, including internal bleeding, two breaks in his left arm, several broken ribs, a ruptured spleen and kidney and a bruised aorta. He also suffered a concussion. He underwent surgery on the weekend and remains in Royal Columbian’s ICU. In just a few days, more than $7,000 has been raised for Lowe and his wife Natascha, a young couple who “don’t have a big income stream.” Lowe is a member of, and advocate for,

In 2013 and 2014, he completed the veterans’ Big Bike Ride from Paris to London, raising $4,000 for Wounded Warriors. His efforts have been featured in The Surrey-North Delta Leader and The Cloverdale Reporter. He was born and raised in Cloverdale, and recently moved to Abbotsford. Lowe and his mother, Shere, were also part of a fundraiser for Wounded Warriors, put on by Langley Rotary Club last fall. Police are urging anyone who witnessed last Thursday’s crash to call them at 604-5323200. “At this time, there are no independent witnesses to the collision,” said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Largy.

▶ FORUM LOOKS TO BREAK DOWN WALLS BETWEEN GOVERNMENT, ACADEMICS AND SOCIAL SERVICE PROVIDERS BLACK PRESS

National leaders in urban development, city planning, health care, finance, social innovation and community outreach are gathering at Surrey City Hall on Tuesday (Nov. 24) to tackle urban issues such as economic development, the environment, affordable housing, poverty and health and safety. One of the goals of the inaugural Surrey Social Innovation Summit is to look at how to create better communication between government, citizens, not-forprofits, academia and business when it comes to finding practical solutions to issues facing modern cities. Among the panelists participating are Hazel Borys and Tonya Surman. Borys is the managing principal of PlaceMakers in Winnipeg and a TEDxManitoba speaker (Confessions of a Former Sprawl Addict). Surman is a social entrepreneur and the founding CEO of the Centre for Social Innovation, a co-working space, community and launch pad for people who are changing the world, with three locations in Toronto and one in New York City.

Unions get ‘modest’ raises ▶ MOST B.C. EMPLOYEES WILL RECEIVE PAY BOOST TOM FLETCHER

Most unionized provincial employees in health, education and other jobs will get an extra raise of just under one half of one per cent in February. About 80 per cent of B.C. public sector unions have signed employment contracts under the province’s “economic stability mandate.” That gives them raises of 5.5 per cent over five years, plus a share of economic growth in each year it exceeds the independent forecast used in the provincial budget.

As it prepares to take part in the latest United Nations conference on climate change in December, the B.C. government is changing legislation to

permit development of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) from its northeast B.C. natural gas deposits. Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman said the changes will give the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission authority to regulate projects that strip carbon dioxide from raw gas and inject it back into salt

water formations deep underground. “Although we’ve had a look at it over the years and have actually had projects that looked like they might go ahead at some point in time, we find that we don’t have the overall regulatory framework to actually allow and be successful with CCS,” Coleman told the legislature

REQUEST FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST CONTRACTOR SNOW CLEARING LIST If you are a contractor capable of providing snow clearing services to the residents and businesses of the City of Surrey and are interested in being included on our list of contractors, please contact Sarah Gleboff at SGleboff@surrey.ca by November 27, 2015 in order to have your company added to the list. The name of your company, contact information and the types of services provided will be included in a list available for public use on the City of Surrey website at www.surrey.ca.

as he introduced the amendments. One of the changes protects Oil and Gas Commission employees from being named in lawsuits related to their decisions. In 2008, the B.C. government put in $3.4 million towards a $12 million feasibility study at Spectra Energy’s gas processing facilities at Fort Nelson, one of the largest gas plants in North America. The federal government and the U.S. Department of Energy also helped fund the study. Initial results showed saline aquifers more than two kilometres deep could act as permanent storage for CO2, but the project has not yet proceeded to construction, and extracted CO2 is still being vented to the atmosphere. Delta-South MLA Vicki Huntington said CCS is a promising technology, but the gas industry in B.C. is responsible for 15 per cent of the province’s greenhouse gas emissions, and venting of CO2 from plants and wells accounts for a quarter of that. Huntington said the proposed development of liquefied natural gas exports means more CO2 emissions from gas extraction as well as LNG processing. Premier Christy Clark and Environment Minister Mary Polak are scheduled to join Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other premiers at the latest climate change summit in Paris in early December.

Banking on Metro real estate prices rising North Surrey ▶ WESTMINSTER SAVINGS TO OPEN CORPORATE CENTRE AT CENTRAL CITY BLACK PRESS

Westminster Savings Credit Union (Westminster Savings) has announced it will be opening a new corporate centre in Surrey at the Central City Office Tower at 10153 King George Blvd. The new corporate centre, which is anticipated to open by the summer of 2016, will bring together employees currently working at the administrative building and corporate centre in New Westminster. “We’re thrilled to bring our teams together in one centralized location,” said Gavin Toy, president and CEO of Westminster Savings. “We believe that this will help create a more integrated environment to position our orga-

nization for enhanced success and long-term growth and allow our credit union to provide even greater value for our members. The Westminster Savings Board of Directors and Executive Leadership Team chose the Central City Office Tower, located in the commercial, cultural and social hub of Surrey, because it best met the needs of the credit union, members and employees, Toy added. “Over the last 70 years, we have expanded and grown our reach across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, including through a significant merger with Maple Ridge Community Credit Union in 1997,” Toy said. “As a result, we believe that Surrey provides a convenient and accessible corporate centre location from which to serve our members.” Surrey’s Central City is a mixed-used development with an office tower, a shopping mall and a Simon Fraser University campus.

▶ WIDENING GAP BETWEEN DETACHED HOUSES, CONDOS

JEFF NAGEL

New real estate forecasts predict Lower Mainland housing prices will continue their ascent to new highs over the next two years. Central 1 Credit Union projects resale median residential prices of Greater Vancouver homes will climb 6.1 per cent in 2016 and 3.8 per cent in 2017. Senior economist Bryan Yu says detached houses are becoming “luxury” real estate as “prices that far outpace income affordability fundamentals” increasingly put them out of reach of large portions of the population. He estimates detached house prices will continue to run up faster – 10 per cent in 2016 and 6.6 per cent in 2017. Although there may be “some froth” in detached house prices, Yu expects the growing price gap between houses and condos – now at a record $525,000 in Metro – will continue to widen. That widening price gap will be “difficult if not

For most families, the housing ladder will lead from one multi-family unit to another.” Increasingly scarce land is a reality of the region’s geography that’s hemmed in by the ocean, mountains, U.S. border and the Agricultural Land Reserve, he said. His report says the trend of double-digit price gains

shows little sign of stopping given a severe shortage of inventory in Metro Vancouver and limited land availability for low-density construction. “Price momentum has also spilled into the neighbouring Fraser Valley area,” Yu said. Continued record low interest rates and economic and job growth will continue to drive sales and further price momentum in Greater Vancouver through 2016, he added. The B.C.

price for a residential home to $925,000 in 2016. That average, which blends condos, townhomes and detached houses together, is expected to reach $885,000 in 2015, up 8.9 per cent from $812,652 in 2014. In the Fraser Valley, the average residential price is projected to have climbed 9.7 per cent to $568,000 this year, up from about $518,000 in 2014, and it’s projected to gain four per cent to $591,000 in 2016. Chilliwack and district prices are estimated by BCREA to be up 6.9 per cent to $330,000 and projected to gain 1.2 per cent in 2016 to $334,000. Many consumers have been forced to alter their housing expectations, especially near the urban core, the BCREA report says. It notes City of Vancouver detached houses make up just five per cent of the total housing stock in Metro Vancouver and those house prices should not be used as a benchmark for affordability in the region. And the report argues many detached houses are really in effect duplexes, triplexes or fourplexes “as a result of the exploding number of accessory suites.”

Metro Vancouver will begin its standard Stage 1 lawn sprinkling restrictions two weeks earlier next year and they’ll be in place two weeks later into the fall. That three-times-aweek sprinkling limit will apply from May 15 to Oct. 15 in 2016. It’s hoped the earlier start to sprinkling restrictions will mean more drinking water is retained in the regional district’s reservoirs heading into summer and reduce the amount of time that officials might have to impose more stringent water use limits if severe drought strikes again. “We’re trying to minimize the impact on residents should we have another drought like we did in late spring or early summer,� said Metro utilities committee chair Darrell Mussatto. Metro is planning a review of its Water Shortage Response Plan this winter, with public consultations, to help decide what other water policy changes should be made. It’s weighing whether there should be greater leniency for commercial pressure washing operations and for owners of newly seeded lawns, both of which are currently required to halt water use when Stage 3 is reached. The review is expected to lead to some policy amendments in time for the summer of 2016.

As parents, we all want to make sure our kids are wellequipped for their educations, and this means not just clothing and school supplies, but also planning for their post-secondary educations. Thanks to the government of B.C., parents now have a new tool in their toolkit to start their preparations nice and early: the British Columbia Training and Education Savings Grant, or the BCTESG. As part of our commitment to building a richer future for youth, earlier this year Coast Capital Savings became one of the first financial institutions in B.C. to offer it. The BCTESG is a great opportunity to kick-start education savings. It’s a one-time $1,200 grant offered by the provincial government and deposited into a Central1 Trust RESP account.

At that point, only the accumulated interest is taxable as income. Plus, anyone can contribute to a child’s RESP for birthdays, Christmas or special occasions. It’s a gift that grows along with the child. Finally, although the child’s parent or guardian must live in B.C., you don’t have to be the parent to apply on their behalf. This means that grandparents, aunts and uncles, or other loved-ones can help a child take advantage of the BCTESG. Because only children between the ages of six and nine are eligible, applications must be made in person so that identification can be checked. Before you head to a branch to apply, make sure you have: • The child’s birth certificate and, if possible, social insurance number. • Your own social insurance number if you’re applying on a child’s behalf. The BCTESG is a fantastic new tool to support families in starting to save for their children’s post-secondary education but there’s a lot to think about when planning for your child’s education – it means looking at the big picture. Now that the kids are settled back into school, I invite you to book an appointment at your nearest Coast Capital branch for a Where You’re At Money Chat to discuss not just how we can help you take advantage of the BCTESG, but what we can do to help you achieve overall financial well-being.

Fassbender responds to congestion proposal

Road pricing may be ‘option’ Jeff Nagel Black Press

The provincial minister responsible for TransLink says it may be possible to implement a road-pricing system in Metro Vancouver to control traffic congestion without putting it to another referendum. Peter Fassbender was responding to a congestion-pricing report from Canada’s Ecofiscal Commission that urges harmonized bridge tolls in Metro as a pilot project ahead of a potential longer-range effort to bring in per-kilometre road-use fees. The report advocates a dynamic pricing model with tolls that differ by time of day to encourage more efficient road use. The aim would not be to raise net new revenue – money generated might instead be used to reduce existing gas Peter Fassbender taxes. “If it was minister revenueneutral and it was not seen as a new tax, then I think there is an option there,” Fassbender said when asked if that scenario might escape the premier’s referendum requirement. “We have said if it is not a new source of funding or a new tax, then of course it doesn’t need a referendum.” Fassbender qualified his comments with a series of cautions, noting any effort at mobility or congestion pricing would take many years and be complex. “What form of capture of movement would you have? How would you implement that? What’s the cost of the infrastructure to do that?” he asked. “I’m not sure it’s as simplistic as the report alludes to in doing a pilot project.” He praised the report’s authors as a credible group that included SFU professor and former TransLink board chair Nancy Olewiler. “Do I think it’s worth looking at? Absolutely. Do I say it’s the solution? I’m not in a position to say that yet.” He noted the province is reviewing its tolling policy, which forbids tolls on anything other than new infrastructure and then only if there’s a free alternative. The province wants to see business cases for the new Pattullo and Massey bridges before deciding on any tolling policy change, he said. Fassbender also stressed the region still needs a long-term new

A road-pricing system may be possible without a referendum, according to Peter Fassbender, the minister in charge of TransLink.

revenue source that is fair and equitable to fund its share of the mayors’ transit expansion vision, as well as future operating costs. Premier Christy Clark last month said road pricing as a new revenue source for TransLink would require a referendum. Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore also argued that “if it’s just about pricing the road network and not about putting money into TransLink, you wouldn’t need a referendum.” He argues dynamic road pricing is more fair than the gas tax, which area mayors have previously said they’d like to partially replace with road pricing. Drivers who only stay on their local community roads still pay gas tax, he said, adding it might be argued that they should only pay for the regional transportation system when they drive

longer distances or contribute to congestion at peak times. “What if you said to the trucking industry, ‘You can use the road network for free from midnight to 5 a.m., but if you’re going to use it in peak periods when everybody’s trying to get to work, it’s going to be a lot more expensive?’ “That policy could help shift your peak periods down so you’re getting better use out of your current road network instead of having to build a lot more infrastructure.” Moore acknowledged a revenue-neutral road-pricing system wouldn’t solve the problem of where to get new funding for Translink. Any attempt at harmonized tolls would also have to cover the debt repayment costs of the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges.

The Surrey school eliminated the Windsor Dukes 28-6 in a first-round playoff game last Friday (Nov. 13) in Burnaby. “This was the first playoff game for our Grade 12s and they really stepped up,” said Crusaders head coach Conrad Deugau. “This was an important game for them and for us as a whole rebounding from last year. The goal was simple, ‘get to Monday’ and we accomplished that goal.” Holy Cross has to defeat Windsor for a second time this season to advance in postseason play. The Crusaders defeated the Dukes 27-6 in a preseason game in North Vancouver on Sept. 18, but despite the similar score, were given a tougher test in the playoffs. “Windsor is tricky,” said Deugau. “(head coach Jim) Schuman had his boys well coached and they game ready to play. He does a really good job coaching.” The score was 14-6 for Holy Cross at half time, before the Crusaders scored a pair of unanswered touchdowns over the final two quarters to clinch the win. Grade 11 running back Paulo Lujan rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown and “just kept plowing away. He was our best player.” Grade 12 running back Jordan O’Reilly also contributed, scoring one touchdown and making “some impact runs when spelling off Paolo. He keeps his feet going and gets those extra yards needed for us to be successful.” Quarterback Patrick Shoemay and receiver Marcus Browne also scored one touchdown each. The Crusaders will now kick-off against the G.W. Graham Grizzlies of Chilliwack

tomorrow (Saturday) at B.C. Place. Kickoff is at 12:30 p.m. The Grizzlies finished atop the Eastern Conference standings with a perfect 5-0 (win-loss) record and defeated the South Kamloops Titans 3821 in their first-round game played in Chilliwack last week. Several Crusaders

were voted to Conference All-Star positions after the conclusion of the regular season. Shoemay was voted the conference’s Offensive MVP (Most Valuable Player). AllStars from Holy Cross including Chris Asayo on the offensive line, Brandon Canuel at wide receiver, Cole Barron and Jacob

The Seaquam Seahawks, seeded fifth in the 12-team playoff, blanked the Rutland Voodoo of Kelowna 42-0 in their firstround game on Nov. 12. The North Delta school is scheduled to play the fourth-seed Vancouver College Fighting Irish today (Friday) at Vancouver College.

The Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers, the sixth-seed for the playoffs, advanced to the quarterfinal round with a 44-8 romp past the Handsworth Royals, also on Nov. 12. The Panthers played their quarterfinal game yesterday against the third-seed Terry Fox Ravens.

NICK GREENIZAN

One day, Earl Marriott Secondary football coach Michael Mackay-Dunn might finally let it go. Let go of the call that saw his highschool football career end with a two-point loss instead of a spot in the provincial high-school championship game. Let go of the friendly grudge he holds against the official who blew that whistle on a play now decades old. Yes, one day he might let it go. Today is not that day. Mackay-Dunn, the 63-year-old longtime coach of the Earl Marriott Mariners’ football program, is sitting in his classroom, detailing for a listener exactly what happened all those years ago. It was the 1969 provincial semifinals, and Vancouver College – Mackay-Dunn’s school – trailed Maple Ridge 16-14 late in the fourth quarter. Maple Ridge kicked the ball off, and Vancouver’s returner caught it and weaved up field, eluding tacklers en route to what would have been a game-winning touchdown. “We ran a reverse – the same kind of return we run here now (at EMS) – and our guy went all the way. I was about 30 yards away from the ball and some guy hit me from behind, but I got called for roughing. “The play got called back, and we lost by two. I’m still trying to figure it out.” The official who made the call was Matt Phillips, a South Surrey resident who now, at 83, stands next to Mackay-Dunn on the Earl Marriott sidelines as a volunteer assistant coach, the latest coaching stop for the well-travelled football lifer who has been involved in the game for so long – as a coach and official – that his bio

▶ COACHING IS DIFFICULT, BUT CAN ALSO ‘KEEP YOU OUT OF TROUBLE’ from page 27

“I don’t do much, and I try not to butt in too much with what the other coaches are doing, but I think I can help,” he said. “I’m not here because I’m a pretty face – there’s never a situation we run into during a game that I haven’t seen before,

somewhere.” Phillips, who was born in New Westminster, has been around the game since the 1940s, when he took up the sport as a high schooler at Toronto’s Upper Canada College – the private boarding school he was sent to after, in his own words, “I got into a very comfortable groove doing as

little as possible.” From there, Phillips moved on to college, playing at George Pepperdine College in Los Angeles – now known as Pepperdine University – where he also got his degree in physical education. Before turning to coaching, Phillips had a short playing career – “If you can call it that,” he

quipped – in the Canadian Football League, as a tackle with the BC Lions.

But the experience was marred by injuries. After knee surgery in June 1957, Phillips returned to the field just a month later once he was “pronounced fit to play.” “Really, I was fit to limp, is all I was. So I limped around practice for a year, got into a couple, three games. But ev-

ery time I got in, I’d end up at the bottom of a pile with somebody lying on my bad knee,” he explained. “Every time I got on the field, I ended up getting carried off.” After that, Phillips began a long career as a teacher, while also coaching and officiating. The list of schools at which he’s coached is long enough that it’s

tough to remember in full, but includes Vancouver’s Lord Byng Secondary and Cambie Junior High; Richmond’s London Junior and Steveston Secondary; North Delta, Montgomery Junior High in Coquitlam, and Clovedale’s Lord Tweedsmuir, the latter program started by Phillips in the mid 2000s. “I wrote ‘em all down one time, but I can’t remember now,” he said, while on the sidelines of an EMS practice last week. “I lost count, but it’s at least 52 years of coaching.” Phillips says the game today is almost unrecognizable from the one he grew up with – the players are bigger, faster and stronger, and the game plans are much more advanced. “In the ‘60s, we’d just get the ball in the middle of the field and bash away at each other,” he said. “We are doing things in Grade 8 now that we would’ve maybe, maybe, thought about doing at the senior level back then.” But though the game has changed on the field, his love for the sport has never wavered – it’s why he continues to volunteer his time coaching young kids who are young enough to be his great-grandchildren. “I think kids can learn a lot about life from athletics… and I can still relate to the kids. The ones I can’t relate to are the ones who don’t want to work hard, who don’t want to listen,” he explained. “Coaching does takes a lot of time and effort, but it keeps you out of trouble.” Mackay-Dunn finds an even simpler way to explain his colleague’s continued dedication to local football. “This is who he is.” Phillips, meanwhile, said he’ll be happy to stay on the sidelines as long as the team will have him – even if a 46-year-old roughing call is brought up from time to time. “I can’t remember now exactly what Mike did wrong, but I’m sure I was right to call him on it.”

Pushing the boundaries ▶ CERAMIC SCULPTOR JAMES KEMP IS PART OF THE LONG-RUNNING EASTSIDE CULTURE CRAWL IN VANCOUVER ALEX BROWNE

A White Rock ceramic artist is among those highlighted in this year’s 19th annual Eastside Culture Crawl, which opens doors to studios, homes and garages – wherever art is made – this week. James Kemp, a ceramics teacher at the Surrey Art Gallery, will be opening his space at the Acme Studio at Hastings and Columbia in Vancouver to public scrutiny, showing not only his conceptual sculptural pieces (as highlighted by his Morphology series) but also a range of functional – and more affordable – ceramic ware. Known for using odd and unexpected materials in his work, Kemp – currently represented by Vancouver’s Robert Lynds Gallery in False Creek – is making an international name for himself as an experimentalist artist pushing the limits of conventional ceramics work. That’s especially true with his larger, unusually-textured and thought-provoking pieces such as the Morphology series – showcased at

PHOTOS SUBMITTED the Museum of Modern Ceramic Art at Gifu, Japan in which rounded organic-seeming forms are contrasted with more geometric shapes redolent of twisting staircases. “They definitely ‘get’ this kind of work in Japan – they’re more open to mixed media in ceramics than here and also in the States,” said Kemp who also recently had a year-long stint as an artist-in-residence at Port Moody Arts Centre. “Depending on what people are more accepting of, predetermines where I can send my work. I’m still working around restrictions.” Driftwood, Styrofoam, nylon, Plexiglas, steel and concrete have all played a part in his works, he acknowledges, challenging conventional definitions of ceramic practice. Born in Etobicoke, Ont., he moved to White Rock as a toddler. With parents both in the teaching profession, Kemp, an Elgin Park Secondary grad (class of 2000), was a surprisingly late arrival to the ranks of career artists. “When I was in high school at Elgin I spent most of my time at home either drawing or playing basketball,” he admitted. “I really didn’t want to take art at school, but I took drama instead with Stan Engstrom.” It was good for his social life, he added. “Drama was nice be-

32 The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Fr iday November 20 2015

Community rallies around Surrey dancer spring, Emma Salisbury was well on her way to realizing her dreams. A dedicated and hard-working student of ballet at Panorama School of Dance, Salisbury had graced the stage as Clara in The Nutcracker with the Royal City Youth Ballet, and starred as Elsa in the school’s production of Frozen. Her talent had taken her to Toronto to study, and she was set to attend Arts Umbrella this year,

Emma Salisbury

according to family friend Kelly Ewing, who has set up an online fundraising account for Salisbury. A health crisis struck out of nowhere the end of the past school year, when she became unexpectedly and gravely ill, developing kidney failure. Salisbury was diagnosed with lupus, and began chemotherapy – a course of treatment it was hoped would suppress the autoimmune disease. She suffered a stroke following her first treatment, resulting in paralysis on her left side, leaving her unable to walk, or swallow on her own. She spent the summer in ICU at B.C. Children’s Hospital – her parents Caitlin and Derek at her side. “They have been tirelessly advocating for Emma and researching to get Emma the best rehab possible in a system that is strapped,” writes Ewing. The teen is now undergoing outpatient rehab therapy using a state-of-theart technology called Myndtec. Treatments cost more than $4,000 and aren’t covered by the Medical Services Plan. Donations to her treatment can be made at The Emma Salisbury: Dance Again campaign on GoFundMe.com. It has so far raised more than $22,000 of the $40,000 goal.
