Surrey mayor’s State of City address touches on number of topics

Watts continues call for better transit Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Mayor Dianne Watts delivered her State of the City address to a packed ballroom at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford. Watts began her seventh annual address Tuesday by thanking her colleagues who sit on several city committees, and outlined a number of policy initiatives, both currently in place and in the works. Then she got on with the theme of the speech, which was “Building a City from the Ground Up.”

Watts pointed out that Surrey has experienced tremendous growth over the years, with most recent census figures showing the city’s population has soared by 18.6 per cent in the past five years – more than three times the national average. Representing its own challenges is the fact one-third of that population is younger than 19 years old. She also pointed out that growth has resulted in the creation of 12,714 new businesses since 2006 – 2,334 of those in 2011. Watts said that growth is a double-edged

sword, as it requires substantial infrastructure needs. For that reason, Surrey is attempting to “shape” growth by creating an affordable housing strategy which includes a number of choices in housing stock. Surrey will be shifting to more high-density multi-family dwellings and smaller lots. The city will also be bringing in six-storey wood frame apartments, Watts said. Watts noted Surrey has 46 per cent of the region’s available industrial land and that one-third of the city is Agricultural Land

Reserve, which produces $150 million in revenue annually. Surrey also has the second-largest border crossing – with $15 billion in trade annually – along with other trade points, including Fraser Surrey Docks. She quoted from the provincial Liberals’ B.C. Jobs Plan, which says, “Now is the time to expand the capacity of our infrastructure so we can manage higher volumes safely and efficiently.” Watts renewed her call to have the 75-year see page A4

A 22-year-old White Rock man is the latest person to be charged with drug trafficking as a result of a three-month undercover police investigation in the seaside city. Thomas James Sharman appeared in Surrey Provincial Court Feb. 28 on two counts of trafficking in a controlled substance. He is due back in court on March 20. Sharman is one of three men charged as a result of an investigation into a suspected delivery service for illegal drugs that was conducted between March and May of last year by White Rock RCMP and the Mounties’ undercover operations unit, a special section of officers who pose as criminals to obtain convictions. Late last year, Jonathan Taylor Rakic, 21, of Surrey, and Langley resident Rockwell Doxey, 26, were each charged with one count of trafficking in a controlled substance in connection with the operation. Rakic made his first court appearance in December, and his trial has been scheduled for two days beginning May 30. Doxey made his first court appearance in November, and is due back before a judge on March 27. None of the accused are in custody.

news ‘Cooling-off’ legislation halted, Bill 22 expected to become law on Thursday

Teachers ‘disappointed’ by debate cut-off Tom Fletcher Black Press

Debate on legislation imposing a cooling-off period on the B.C. teachers’ dispute is being cut off this week. B.C. Liberal house leader Rich Coleman moved to end debate Monday afternoon, and the government majority voted to pass his motion. Coleman said the measure will ensure that Bill 22 will be passed into law by today (Thursday), ensuring that schools will return to normal operation after spring break. The government and NDP opposition agreed to extend sitting

Teachers’ Association and school districts. The government has proposed a $165 million fund to supplement special needs support in the next three years. The fund and the new provisions in Bill 22 are an effort to satisfy a B.C. Supreme Court ruling that struck down 2002 legislation taking class size and composition out of the BCTF contract. The ruling gives the government

until April to respond. But Moffat said teachers are not happy with the language of the bill, which, she said, is too vague and “takes away checks and balances and takes teacher participation out of the process.” “We are being told that we have to have hope, faith and trust that somebody is going to make the right decisions,” she said. “As a person who has dealt with collective agreement language, I know the only time I can win on behalf of members is when the language is absolutely clean with no flexibility or (room for) fudging.” - with files from Alex Browne

Similarly, Fassbender said, if the province He said the most critical arrangements of decides to embark on a major new initiative the new deal are ones that should give local to fight gang crime, resulting in increased Jeff Nagel Black Press

costs, the committee will have a say and be able to keep local cities informed. Asked whether the local government committee would have an actual veto over spending decisions or merely an advisory role, he said details are still being worked out. “There definitely is the ability to say we’re not implementing that until there’s a review, a cost analysis or whatever,” Fassbender said. “The hope is there will be enough input earlier in the process that we won’t be in a Mexican standoff on any of this.” B.C. cities will also have representation on a separate contract management committee on federal RCMP spending issues that are common to the other provinces and territories. The deal also includes a three-year freeze on the current $3,500 cost to cities of sending each new RCMP recruit through depot training in Regina. By 2015, a new and more accurate training cost is to be calculated, which cities believe should leave them paying less. It’s also expected local detachments will

work even more closely with local cities, Fassbender added. “The world has changed and there is a clear recognition that we pay the majority of the costs and therefore we should have a significant opportunity to impact the future and the management of one of the most expensive parts of our municipal budgets.” The tentative deal extending the contract was reached in late November, after turbulent negotiations in which federal officials threatened to withdraw the force from B.C. in 2014 if the province didn’t sign. B.C., in turn, began what it called a preliminary exploration of how to launch a replacement provincial force. The new contract includes opt-out clauses under which any city can form its own municipal force or the province could end the RCMP contract and form a provincial force. Large cities continue to pay 90 per cent of local RCMP costs under the new deal, while smaller ones pay 70 per cent. Full details are expected to be made public later this month.

news Anti-smart meter group not deterred by commission’s decision

Dismissal ‘no surprise’ to CST Alex Browne Staff Reporter

The B.C. Utilities Commission’s dismissal of a complaint by an anti-smart meter group trying to put a stop to BC Hydro’s installation of the meters will only serve to move the complaint to the next level, the group says. Citizens for Safe Technology executive director Una St. Clair said it is just the beginning, not the end, of her group’s war against the wireless meters Hydro is intent on rolling out in B.C. “We have expected this to go to appeal,” she said Monday. “This is no surprise to us. We’re trying to get it into the B.C. Court of Appeal, where we feel it has more chance to be reviewed properly.” St. Clair said that in a context in which both the Union of B.C. Municipalities and 34 individual

municipalities have called for a moratorium and/or an opt-out choice for those who oppose smart-meter deployment, the BCUC decision calls into question the commission’s effectiveness as both a protector of the public and an independent voice respecting democratic process. “Those municipalities represent some two million people,” St. Clair said. “There are around 4½ million in B.C. That’s almost half of the population saying the meter deployment should be reviewed.” CST applied to the commission in late December seeking a “freeze” on the installation of wireless electricity consumption meters. Lawyer David Aaron argued that while the province’s Clean Energy Act exempts the installation from commission

approval, the legislation doesn’t cover the “wireless and snooping component of the smart meter program.” The commission found the term “snooping” referred to a radio chip in each meter that would only be activated if the customer wishes to install an inhome feedback device to show electricity consumption readings from the meter on a small wall display. The commission also noted that the provincial legislation did not prescribe any particular kind of meter, but left the technical details to BC Hydro engineers. But St. Clair tore into the commission’s decision. “It’s looking like our independent review panel is spouting B.C. Hydro mush,” she said. - with files from Tom Fletcher

Mayor calls for more equitable tolls from page A1 old Pattullo Bridge replaced and stressed her continued desire for light rail in Surrey. “This is intentional,” Watts said. “Light rail isn’t a ‘request of the month’.” Surrey hands over $160 million in taxes annually to TransLink, Watts said, and the city wants viable bus service and road improvements in return. “Just more buses? No thank you. Just rapid buses? No thank you. SkyTrain to Langley? No thank you.”

She also wants more equitable tolling, not just on bridges leading out of South of the Fraser. Watts wants other bridges and roads tolled – including the Sea-to-Sky Highway leading to Whistler. She invited the crowd to provide feedback on the city’s website at www.surrey.ca/RapidTransitNow Watts also outlined a number of ‘green’ initiatives the city has undertaken, including moving garbage collection to compressed natural gas-fuelled garbage trucks.

editorial

Auto thefts down, but drivers still pay n a time when flawed rhetoric and relentless spin-doctoring makes it hard to know just how our interests are being served, it’s nice to hear one program, at least, is making an impact on those who seek to steal from us. Figures released this month by ICBC show that auto theft has fallen 71 per cent since the use of bait cars began. Not only have potential car thieves been turned off the crime in droves province-wide, in White Rock and Surrey the news is even better. In 2003, White Rock had 190 reported auto theft incidents, while in 2011 there were just 20 (an 89 per cent decrease). In Surrey, theft-of-vehicle numbers dropped from 5,360 in 2003 to 1,780 in 2011 (a 67 per cent decrease). Thefts from vehicles are also down 64 per cent province-wide, ICBC said. It’s not just those pesky bait cars – now joined by bait commercial vehicles – that are making life difficult for criminals. Spokespeople for the corporation are patting us on the back for doing our part by locking vehicles, using anti-theft immobilizers, parking in secure, lit areas and removing valuables from our cars. In further good news for the average, cashstrapped motorist, the corporation recently announced it is considering reducing or eliminating its incentive-pay program for executives if it fails to meet its annual profit targets. The program paid out $17 million in bonuses in 2010, but if declining figures for 2011 hold true, payouts for the corporation CEO, executives and management will be scaled down. Indeed, if ICBC makes less than $35 million in net income in future years, the CEO and executives will lose their bonuses, and any question of performance pay will be off the table altogether if the corporation posts a net loss. But that still leaves the question of the $497 million in profits ICBC expects to turn over to the provincial government over the next three years, according to its most recent budget. As this is money considered surplus to ICBC’s needs, it is said to have no bearing on the need to raise basic rates, which is being blamed on rising claims costs. It might be hard for the average driver to disagree with critics such as Conservative leader John Cummins, who characterizes the government’s continuing dependence on such funds as a “stealth tax” on motorists. Perhaps bait cars – and locks and immobilizers on vehicles – are not enough to dispel every attack on our property, after all.

It matters to me that a 13-year-old girl with no previous passion for news and current events is now engaged, is now reading news stories, is now doing research and, yes, is now seriously considering the questions posed by critics of Kony 2012. If a well-executed video campaign can propel millions of people – many of them kids with no previous interest in such serious matters, to act, even if that act is nothing more than plastering posters throughout the little towns in which they live – it has succeeded, despite the naysayers with their shaking heads and their know-it-all dismissiveness. On April 20, a date shared with the birthday of Hitler and the mass murder at Columbine high school in Littleton, Col., the plan is for people across the globe to flood their communities with Kony 2012 posters, to make Joseph Kony as famous as possible. Whether this exercise results in anything tangible with respect to Kony is debatable. What is indisputable is the effect this campaign has already had on impressionable minds across Canada and beyond. Chris Foulds is editor of Kamloops This Week, sister paper to the Peace Arch News.

Overpowering enforcement Editor: Monday, with the power out at traffic intersections, local police were more concerned about issuing traffic violations than enhancing safety. The traffic lights at 24 Avenue and 160 and 161 Streets were not working, and three police cars hid on the side streets in order to nail drivers not fully stopping for these intersections. (Editor’s note: Police say they were in the area conducting routine intersection enforcement when the power went out.) I contend that safety could have been enhanced more effectively with less police if two of these marked cars were positioned at the intersection to draw attention to the dangerous situation. Clearly, writing tickets is the higher priority! This sting worked so well that I wouldn’t be surprised if the police enjoyed the opportunity to issue so many tickets in such a short time. What next, when coffers are down, police will be controlling the power to traffic lights? Seriously, I just hope nobody gets hurt in an accident while the police are hiding out to catch the next offender. John Evoy, Surrey

per year, or roughly an insurancereportable crash every four months. Are these accidents a reflection of the roadway design, or perhaps speed is a factor that requires better enforcement? The White Rock RCMP provides outstanding service to our community and is not a point of contention. One must wonder why, however, the extra resources afforded to other communities do not find their way to White Rock. I am referencing the likes of the Integrated Traffic Enforcement Unit, which receives considerable funding from ICBC. It would be nice to see the occasional visit from them towards enforcement in high-crash zones such as the west end of Marine Drive. Ron Eves, White Rock

a walk in the dog park. I had locked my purse in the trunk of my car, after being gone for only 10 minutes because of the cool weather conditions, I unlocked my trunk and my purse was gone. Someone went through the inside of my car and ripped the back seat open in order to get into the trunk. I had other bags in there that were untouched, and nothing else was looked through. So they must have seen me put it in there. After telling my story to family and friends I have got feedback from three people that this has happened to within the last few weeks, two of them also at Crescent Beach. I’m so shocked over this whole situation, I always thought of this being a nice beach community, not a place for thieves to hang out! Charlene Sierakowski, Surrey

Editor: I would like to thank all my neighbours who refused a smart

meter yesterday (March 10). Thanks, too, to the Corix installer who bypassed all houses with “no smart meter” signs and respected all last-minute requests to leave the meters alone. I live with an immune condition that renders me especially susceptible to environmental toxins such as electromagnetic pollution. Following medical advice, my husband and I moved from Vancouver, and my health improved due to the clean air, the relatively low level of ambient electromagnetic radiation and the kindness and understanding of my neighbours in Ocean Park. I could be called a human “canary in the coal mine,” and smart meters may be one of the biggest health challenges I have faced so far. Some people want to protect their family’s health or security, some dislike the smart meter’s surveillance capabilities; some just want to avoid spikes in their hydro bill. Whatever your reason, if you refuse a smart meter, you make your neighbourhood a little bit safer for your family, your neighbours and for the bees and the canaries. Arlene Rubin, Surrey

Editor: Re: Businesses should foot bill, March 6 letters. I have a great idea to raise revenues, so that it won’t be necessary to increase taxes. How about enforcing the speed limit with a week-long blitz along the east end of Marine Drive? The ticket revenue from speeders doing 60 or more (which is the norm), should fill up the coffers mighty quick. Do this several times a year, and the revenues should be the amount of the whole city budget!! Sharon Hollas, White Rock

Rotary Club of White Rock’s 30th Annual Mega Book Sale raised nearly $40,000, organizers say.

Crash stats warrant funds

Thanks for another ‘mega’ success

Editor: The accident stats for Marine Drive in White Rock are in and they beckon a question or two for a quiet 30 km/h speed zone. It would seem that the west end of Marine Drive from the 14600-block to the 14800-block notably has had some 31 insurance-reportable occurrences since the year 2000. This covering a span of some 11 years. What this tells us is that this 30 km/h speed zone is extremely active, with some 2.8 accidents

Editor: The Rotary Club of White Rock, the oldest Rotary club on the Peninsula, wishes to thank all the wonderful supporters who made our recent 30th Annual Mega Book Sale such a great success. The sale was held at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre in South Surrey and brought hundreds of book lovers to browse and buy. Close to $40,000 was raised. The ongoing co-operation of the shopping centre, its retail merchants, service providers and the public has helped the Rotary Club of White Rock raise $1 million over the years for charitable purposes. This money has assisted local organizations in providing services to the old, the young and the challenged. It has also contributed to many worthwhile interna-

tional initiatives including Polio Plus – a program that has been hugely successful in the eradication of polio around the world – and relief for Haiti following its devastating earthquake two years ago. Closer to home, the Rotary Club of White Rock committed to raise $250,000 as a contribution to the Peninsula’s Centre for Active Living. This visionary health centre is now providing state-of-the-art medical and health services to local residents and the Rotary Club of White Rock’s final portion of our monetary commitment will be fulfilled this year. Thank you once again to all our community supporters for allowing us to play an important role in the growth and well-being of the Peninsula’s residents. Peter W. Short, Rotary Club of White Rock

news Driver apologizes to family of Dilbag and Bakhshish Badh

Limited Time Offer!

MATTRESS GALLERY

Crash ‘a complete nightmare’ Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A hush fell over a Surrey court room Tuesday afternoon as Ravinder Singh Binning approached the microphone. He began by apologizing to Surrey’s Badh family, two of whom were killed when a speeding Binning slammed into the back of their car, sending it spinning into a street pole near 85 Avenue and 128 Street. Binning fled the scene where Dilbag and Bakhshish Badh were fatally injured and their two daughters, Rupi and Varinder, were seriously hurt. “I cannot imagine what they have gone through and continue to go through,” said Binning during his sentencing hearing before Judge Reg Harris in Surrey Provincial Court. Binning, 30, said he has been vilified in the media as a “horrible person.” “But what happened on that night four years ago was something that... could have happened to anyone. It was a complete accident,” he said. It was July 12, 2008, when Rupi Badh was driving her mom and dad, Dilbag, 61, and Bakhshish, 60, and sister Varinder home from a party celebrating Rupi’s engagement. In a victim impact statement read in court Tuesday, a tearful Rupi recalled seeing her dad dead

Rupi Badh speaks Tuesday. in the back seat and her mom lying on the pavement after being thrown from the car as a “complete nightmare.” Eldest daughter Jatinder Badh said she lives every day with regret, wishing she had said a proper goodbye to her parents. The emotion-filled morning was too much for their brother Raminder, who stormed from the courtroom, shouting at Binning’s family. Later, Crown lawyer Crighton Pike read Raminder’s victim statement on his behalf, in which he said “our family foundation has been broken and my heart has been broken.” Though the crash occurred in 2008, Binning was not arrested until 2010, and even then, the court heard, at first denied he was driving the car.

PENINSULA VILLAGE

Binning’s trial was to begin two weeks ago, but instead, he pleaded guilty to two counts of dangerous driving causing death, one count of dangerous driving causing bodily harm and one count of failure to stop at the scene of an accident. The plea came nearly four years after the incident. The court heard Tuesday that between 2002 and 2009, Binning accumulated 16 driving prohibitions, many involving alcohol. In January, he was sentenced in a separate case that happened just months after the Badhs were killed, on the same stretch of road, where he was caught driving drunk, sped away from police, then crashed into a fence. Pike said it was clear the young man simply doesn’t get it. The Badh family agreed. “He did it to himself,” said Varinder. “So if his name is being dragged through the mud, that’s his fault. For him to say that... it’s weak.” Defence lawyer Ian Donaldson said his client’s “heartfelt” apology showed he’s accepted responsibility for what he’s done. While the Crown has asked for a five-year sentence in a federal prison and a lifetime driving ban, Donaldson said a jail time of around three years was more appropriate, with a three-year driving ban. Harris was scheduled to deliver his sentence today.

on Metro Vancouver’s board, said White Rock is the only MV municipality with a tree bylaw that doesn’t apply to the whole city. Paul Stanton, the city’s director of planning and development services, confirmed the current legislation only applies to about 40 per cent of the city. It came to be after draft city-wide rules “ran into significant opposition,” he said. Stanton noted the opposition came largely from people wanting to preserve views – reasoning Fathers said doesn’t hold water. “To say that we’re doing it because we get backlash from people on the hillside is not good enough,” Fathers said. “It’s been 2½ years now. I didn’t support the policy in the first place because it wasn’t city-wide.”

Public Information Meeting Official Community Plan Amendment No. 10 The City of White Rock is updating the Regional Context Statement in the White Rock Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1836 adopted in 2008. A public meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 20, 2012 to discuss amending the Official Community Plan to include this statement. The meeting will be held at 5:00 p.m. at City Hall (Council Chambers), 15322 Buena Vista Avenue. The meeting will be an open house format with copies of the proposed amendment. In July of 2011 the Metro Vancouver Regional District Board of Directors adopted the Greater Vancouver Regional District Regional Growth Strategy Bylaw No. 1136, 2010. The City’s Official Community Plan included a regional context statement applicable to the Regional Growth Strategy in effect at the time (the Liveable Region Strategic Plan). This regional context statement needs to be removed from Bylaw No. 1837 and replaced with a new regional context statement applicable to the new Regional Growth Strategy (Metro Vancouver 2040 – Shaping Our Future). The five key goals of the Regional Growth Strategy are to create a compact urban area, to support a sustainable economy, to protect the environment and respond to climate change impacts, to develop complete communities, and to support sustainable transportation. No further changes are required to the policies of City of White Rock Official Community Plan, only the replacement of the regional context statement itself. Adoption of this OCP amendment will satisfy the City’s legislative requirements for regional context statements subject to acceptance by the Metro Vancouver Regional Board of Directors. For more information, please contact Planning and Development Services at White Rock City Hall, 15322 Buena Vista Avenue, or phone 604.541.2155, or e-mail planning@whiterockcity.ca.

Developer’s Public Information Meeting 1526, 1536, 1550 & 1556 Finlay Street The City of White Rock has received an application for a Zoning Amendment and Major Development Permit for the construction of a 19 unit townhouse development on 1526, 1536, 1550 & 1556 Finlay Street. A public information meeting is scheduled for Monday, March 19, 2012 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the White Rock Library at 15342 Buena Vista Avenue. This meeting will be an open house format with a display outlining the details of the proposed development. For more information, please contact Planning and Development Services at White Rock City Hall, 15322 Buena Vista Avenue, or phone 604.541.2143, or e-mail planning@whiterockcity.ca.

Like other animals, including humans, they also have light-sensitive cells in the eye’s retina which are not involved in vision. Our bodies are aware of the quality and quantity of light

Ironman Mattresses with Celiant® and Cellitex® have been proven in clinical test to reduce pain, increase oxygen levels, and help balance body temperature. Each of these results can have added benefits, including faster healing, increased performance, better quality sleep and improved overall wellness; all of which can help alleviate the symptoms of arthritis and peripheral vascular disease often associated with diabetes. The key to Celliant® lies in its ability to absorb and store electromagnetic (energy) emissions from the human body and release them where they are reabsorbed into the skin and deep muscle tissue, they act as catalysts for natural, biological processes resulting in enhanced oxygen levels, and more balanced body temperature during sleep, rest or physical activity.

Poker room opens Anniversary Celebration One Day Only Jennifer Lang Black Press

Fraser Downs has opened its new poker room. The licensed, 12-table facility – which features food and beverage options, plus a full-service bar – will be open 24 hours a day. Fraser Downs is planning daily poker tournaments and live cash games, Ken Stratton, general manager of Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino, said during a tour of the new room the day before its March 2 grand opening. “We’re hoping there will be a game going 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” he said. Seventy new employees have been hired to work the room as dealers and supervisors. Many are new faces, but some personnel have come from as far away as Great Canadian Gaming Corporation’s other casinos back east, Stratton said. The grand opening was the culmination of three years’ effort to transform the former gaming floor at Fraser Downs into a poker room, an expansion that required regulatory approval from B.C.

It’s definitely a big component of the casino business.” Fraser Downs, at 17755 60 Ave., now joins other casinos in the Lower Mainland and nearby Washington state in offering the facility. But unlike most of its counterparts in the region, Fraser Downs’ poker room features a small dining area where patrons can gather, a bar and flat screen TVs for viewing sports. While not a huge revenue generator for the casino, Stratton noted the poker room represents an important new asset for the overall facility, which already has slots, table games and live harness racing.

Healthy food costly: report A family on welfare would have to spend as much as 47 per cent of their household income to put healthy food on the table, according to a new report on the cost of nutritious food. The B.C. chapter of the Dieticians of Canada pegs the cost of providing a family of four with a nationally defined basket of nutritious food – basic staples and produce but no pre-packaged meals – at an average of $868 per month in B.C.

That monthly cost rises to $944 in the Vancouver Coastal health region, while it’s slightly lower, at $851, in the Fraser Health region, according to the report, Cost of Eating in British Columbia 2011. It would eat up 15 per cent of the $67,200 median income for a typical B.C. family of four and a much higher proportion for those in or near poverty. Single people on income assistance and

FUNDING FOR STUDENTS, NOT FOR WAGE HIKES. The BCTF is demanding a 15 per cent wage hike and other beneﬁts that would cost $2 billion and raise taxes for BC families. Virtually all other public sector unions have settled for no wage increases. It’s unacceptable that schools are disrupted and that students and their families are inconvenienced over an unreasonable salary demand in difﬁcult economic times. The union is making claims and demands that simply don’t add up.

BCTF CLAIMS AND DEMANDS

FACT

The union wants more paid time outside the classroom – sick leave for teachers on call, expanded bereavement and discretionary leave.

The government wants more time for teacher training and to ensure that Pro-D days really are for professional development.

The union says all teaching positions should be selected on the basis of seniority.

The government supports seniority but qualiﬁcations must also count so that math teachers teach math, and science teachers teach science.

The union says that teachers who perform poorly in evaluations will be dismissed – ‘one strike and you’re out’.

The government wants to support teacher improvement through a standardized evaluation process.

The union says that government refuses to negotiate.

There has been over a year of negotiations and 78 full bargaining sessions.

The union says that class size limits have been eliminated.

Class size limits will remain in place on all grades across BC.

The union says that BC has 700 fewer special needs teachers.

2100 new teaching assistants have been hired since 2001. And, with a new $165 million Learning Improvement Fund, we will hire more.

It’s time to focus on what matters most in education – BC’s students. That’s why we are focused on per-student funding which is at an all time high, not on wage increases. We all want to do more to make BC’s education system even better. It’s the driving force behind BC’s Education Plan that teachers, parents and students are helping to shape. Teachers care about their students. Parents care about their children’s future.

Nutritional foods are too costly for the poor.

Families forced to scrap nutrition from page A22 even a family of four on a lower earned income would pay at least a third of their income, the report found. That doesn’t leave enough to pay the typical cost of housing, it found, estimating many welfare families would face a $100 to $300 gap each month if they tried to buy what’s nutritious. “People end up using food banks and a lot of free food services,” said Kristen Yarker, executive director of the B.C. dieticians group. “They end up spending a lot of their time accessing those and lining up, which isn’t a great solution.” Others go without, she said, or opt for cheaper, less healthy food options. The report found the nutritious food basket price hasn’t changed

since 2009, but is up nearly 40 per cent since 2001, when it stood at $626. Meanwhile, Yarker noted, housing, gasoline, utilities and other competing costs have steadily climbed, leaving less in household budgets to devote to good food. “The problem is getting worse,” she said. “Income assistance and disability assistance rates have not kept up.” Poor nutrition can spell trouble for children in school, harm pregnancies for expectant mothers and hurt productivity of adult workers. Over the long term, the report said, poor food increases rates of diabetes and heart disease, ultimately shortening lives and costing the health care system more money.

Asbestos or hazardous material violations accounted for 15 per cent of the fines levied last year by WorkSafeBC against employers who contravened workplace safety rules. In most of those 54 incidents, the companies were performing residential demolitions and asbestos cleanup. Among the violators was Surrey-based Arthur Moore, who was fined five times for a total of $32,500 in 2011 for failing to comply with WorkSafeBC orders or regulations at multiple job sites across the Lower Mainland. Moore was also sentenced in January to 60 days in jail for contempt of court after he continued to expose young, vulnerable workers to asbestos without adequate protection, contravening previous orders. see page A25

Heidi McCurdy will be directing her own choir

Celebrated singer takes on director role Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

eidi McCurdy is serious about song as a way of life. Long celebrated locally, on the Vancouver scene and even further afield as a singer-songwriter with a beautiful vocal sound and uniquely soulful touch, McCurdy has also established strong credits as a teacher and arts therapist through her Harmony Expressive Arts enterprise and her Music Together family program. Latterly, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s added a further credit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the role of choral director with her own locally-based Soul of the World Multicultural Choir. A celebration of the spring equinox by the choir, Sacred Sounds (March 20, 7 p.m. at the Semiahmoo Arts Studio, Centennial Arena, Mel Edwards Building, 14600 North Bluff Rd.), is just one of the flowerings of McCurdyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical talent that will be on view this year. Fresh on the heels of participating in internationallyacclaimed vocal improviser and teacher Rhiannonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest book and DVD project, Vocal River, McCurdy was also selected to create a jazz version of a song for a huge Vancouver-based musical project, O World, which will be released to coincide with Earth Day (April 22). Sacred Sounds is a one-hour, by donation, concert that will showcase Soul of the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s developing skills and repertoire with chants, blessing songs and universal prayers from around the world.

picked group of stellar Vancouverarea jazz instrumentalists: Jodi Proznick (bass), Tilden Webb (piano), Mike Allen (tenor sax) and Nino Di Pasquale (drums). Although she has frequently arranged songs before for her own jazz and funk-oriented groups, McCurdy admits the O World Project pushed her out of a comfort zone rooted in her natural musical abilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot of theory,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do a lot by ear. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a pianist or a bass player. I had to dig in and do some research, learn a lot of new jazz chords. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d come up with chords that sounded really great, but I had to figure out what they were. And as I learned different chords, they triggered a whole bunch of new writing ideas for me. I changed the chords and adapted the phrases. It was like a puzzle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I had to make it original.â&#x20AC;? McCurdy gives full credit to the Proznick, Webb, Allen and Di Pasquale, who were dedicated to making the track work and were generous with their expertise during the December recording sessions at White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Turtle Contributed photos Studios.

Benefit organized for friend Alex Browne Arts Reporter

People in Semiahmoo Peninsula creative circles know music videographer Chris Edwards as a perpetually upbeat enthusiast brimming over with energy. That’s why it came as such a shock when news started to spread that he’d suffered a catastrophic fall on Christmas Eve. Leaning over to pick up a cigarette or a lighter on the stairway leading up from the driveway to a friend’s house, Edwards lost his balance, tumbling down the slope beside the stairway before

hitting cement. The result was paralysis that currently has him wheelchairbound in Vancouver’s G.F. Strong Rehabilitation Centre. But not for long – if Edwards has any say in the matter – noted close friend Kraig Wenman, a White Rock-based film and music producer. “He has this new pair of shoes and he says he’s not taking them off until he walks out of there,” he marvelled. Wenman is one of a group of Edwards’ buddies who have organized an all-but-sold-out fund-

raising concert for him, Friends With Benefits, at the Crescent Legion Branch 240 on April 14 (there won’t be any tickets at the door). But even if people can’t contribute by buying a ticket, there are other ways to help, said Wenman. Donations of goods and services for silent auction items are still being gratefully accepted, he said. “Even if it’s something small, it can be included in a basket,” he said. “And sports tickets are see page A30

His family is all down in California. That’s why it’s ‘Friends of Christopher Edwards’. We’re like an extended family.” Wenman said there was no hesitation among local musicians in getting involved. Signed on as performers are Neil Harnett, James Shepherd, Soundstem, The Sumner Brothers, Bastard Skinny and Their There – plus some surprise guests from Edwards’ past, which included being front-and-centre when the Seattle Grunge scene first came together. Anyone who thinks Edwards is down for the count doesn’t know him very well, Wenman said. All Edwards’ willpower is focused on recovery, and he’s already made progress in terms of body mobility that has amazed doctors, he said. The fall didn’t impair his vocal chords either, Wenman noted. “When I first went down to visit him at G.F. Strong, I asked one of the nurses what room he was in.

WRCA tames Wild in first round of hoops provincials

Erhart honoured by BCHL

Warriors advance

Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

They started a little slow, and they finished a little sloppy, but in between, the White Rock Christian Academy Warriors played well enough to advance past the play-in round of the BC High School Boys Basketball Championships. Tuesday at the Langley Events Centre, WRCA, ranked tenth in the province, beat the Mount Baker (Cranbrook) Wild, 79-67, and advanced to the first round of the tournament Wednesday, where they faced off against No. 3-ranked St. George’s Saints. Results from that game were not available by press deadline. As is sometimes the case at provincials as players look to shake out nerves, the Warriors and the Wild played each other close in the first quarter – Mount Baker took a lead in the opening minutes before White Rock crept back and eventually pulled away with a 40-28 halftime lead. “I think we played well, it was a good team win, and everybody got some minutes, so it was good,” said WRCA’s Grade 11 guard Sam Ykema, who finished with six points and six rebounds. “For a lot of us, this is our first senior provincials, so we were a little jittery. We had to get warmed up.” WRCA continued to extend the lead in the third, and were up by as many as 21 points before head coach Dale Shury emptied his bench, which – combined with a few ball-handling miscues – allowed Mount Baker to creep back into the game, whittling the deficit to as few as eight. “That wasn’t the normal game plan, not the usual way we play,” said Shury, explaining the late-game lull. “But we were able to get everyone into the game, which I think is important.” Jake Newman led WRCA with 19 points and nine rebounds, while Kristophe Baerg and Vartan Tanelian had 12 and 10 points, respectively. Mount Baker was led by Scott Watmough, who had 29 points and 21 rebounds. The tournament continues until Saturday night at the Events Centre.

The Surrey Eagles don’t begin their first-round playoff series with the Cowichan Valley Capitals until tomorrow, but they’ve already got one thing to celebrate. On Monday afternoon, head coach Matt Erhart was named the BC Hockey League’s Coastal Conference winner of the Joe Tennant Memorial Trophy for coach of the year. Penticton Vees’ bench boss Fred Harbinson was the Interior Conference winner, after leading his team to a Junior ‘A’ hockey record 42 straight wins. “It’s definitely a nice honour, but it’s really a team award,” Erhart said a day after Matt Erhart the announceEagles coach ment. “I’ve got such a great staff here – Gary Nylund, Jason Rogers, Jim Babcock, our goalie coach, Rob Fuchs – and you don’t win these kinds of awards unless you have a great staff and good players who work hard every day.” Erhart is in his second year as the Eagles’ head coach, and third with the organization – he spent one year as an assistant for former head coach Shane Kuss. Prior to that, he coached the BC Major Midget League Greater Vancouver Canadians. And though he’d never been a Junior ‘A’ head coach prior to replacing Kuss, Erhart led the Eagles this year to the team’s best record since its BCHL championship season of 2004/05, finishing with a mark of 36-15-2-7. Erhart had little time to enjoy the honour, however, as he was back to see page A32

Sharks lose to Rowers on late kick

TMO SEMIAHMOO

Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The battle for first place in the B.C. Rugby Union’s men’s first division was a tale of two halves for the Bayside Sharks, who started strong before fading in the game’s final 40 minutes. Saturday at South Surrey Athletic Park, the Sharks lost 37-35 to the Vancouver Rowing Club in a game Bayside led 28-19 at halftime. The Rowers took a late lead on a penalty kick with six minutes left in the game, which was enough to secure the win. Peter Clifford, Bayside’s leading scorer, attempted a long, desperation drop-kick in the game’s waning moments, but it missed. “It was a good game – a real track meet – so we can’t complain too much,” Kearney said. “But it’s just disappointing because it’s not very often you score that many tries and still lose.

“We had some possessions, some scoring chances, in the second half, but we just couldn’t bury them like we did in the first, and they really rallied (after halftime).” Sharks’ captain Jay Blaak led the offence with two tries, while Corey Wood, Trevor Giesbrechy and Cody Rockson each had one. Clifford finished the game with five conversions. Kearney hoped the game would serve as something of a wake-up call for his troops, so they “know they can’t just show up on Saturdays and expect to just win and go home. “You can’t do that against teams that are coming to get you,” he added. The Sharks travel to Cowichan this weekend, and in two weeks have a rematch against the Rowers. “We’ll still be licking our wounds then, so we’ll want to come back at them hard,” Kearney said.

Caps’ top line ‘very dangerous’ says Erhart from page A31 work Tuesday morning game-planning for the team’s upcoming series with Cowichan. Game 1 is slated for tomorrow, 7 p.m. at South Surrey Arena. “It’s definitely going to be a tough, tough series,” Erhart said. “As a coach, you go into every game expecting to win, but realistically, I think this is going to be a long series.”

Surrey and Cowichan finished just one point apart during the regular season – both won 36 games – and are nearly identical, give or take a goal, in most categories. Where the Eagles have a slight edge, Erhart figured, was on special teams and, potentially, on defence and in goal. Defending Cowichan’s top line of Brett Knowles, Devin Ganoon and Matt Brown will be a challenge, Erhart conceded.

“All three of those guys are 20-year-olds, and all of them have a lot of experience... it’s a very dangerous line,” Erhart said. “Both teams have a lot of scoring depth on the top two lines,” Erhart said. “But every year, there’s a guy or two on a third line or a fourth line who steps up that maybe you don’t expect – that’s the beauty of the playoffs. “It’s going to be a great series.”

OBITUARIES

DOLPHIN, William A. (Bill) June 19, 1935 - March 7, 2012. After a courageous battle with cancer it is with great sadness that we announce Bill’s passing at Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock, BC. Pre-deceased by granddaughter Christine Dolphin in 1993 and beloved wife Marion in 1999, Bill will be greatly missed by his two sons Bret (Lorie) and Clint, his 4 grandchildren Liam, Spencer and Megan Dolphin and Liam Holder of Canberra, Australia, as well as sisters Dona Dolphin of Point Roberts, WA and Sara-Lynn Merritt of Chilliwack, BC and many more cousins, nieces, nephews and close friends. After concluding a successful and rewarding career in the flexible packaging industry, Bill spent much of his retirement traveling, tending to his car collection and proudly attending his grandchildren’s many sporting events. Bill’s humour, generosity and genuine interest in his family and friends well being will be very sadly missed. At Bill’s request, no memorial service is planned. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the B.C. Cancer Agency in Bill’s memory would be welcome. Online condolences may be made at www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca . McKee, Peggy Doreen (nee Doyle) passed away on Jan. 16, 2012 at the age of 86 years old. She loved travel, the sun and surf, golf and snooker. She is missed by her daughters Karyn Pate (Brian) and Kathleen McKee, her grandchildren Andrea, John Paul and Colin and her great grandchildren Ariana, Lane and Travis. A Celebration of Life was held at the Northview Golf and Country Club on Feb. 26, 2012.

If you have been planning a trip or a weekend getaway, there will be some minor last minute changes to be made. This is no cause for concern, and everything will return to normal very quickly.

There is some travel in store for you this week. If you have been worried about a family member, you will receive news that it was just a bad scare and that everything will be all right.

TAURUS

SCORPIO

You will find it hard to stay true to your convictions this week. Try to accept that everyone is different. You will find a way to reach a compromise as long as you refrain from imposing your beliefs on others.

At work an agreement will need to be reviewed in detail. In your intimate relationship, there are a few things you will need to discuss in order to find balance again.

GEMINI

This week is busy in all kinds of ways. If you have been waiting for a promotion at work, you will finally be rewarded for your efforts and your leadership.

SAGITTARIUS

Get ready for some major negotiating at work. Your leadership skills will shine and results will turn in your favour.

CANCER

CAPRICORN

You have a lot of work and obligations to attend to this week. The details might threaten to over whelm you but you will be able to accomplish everything as planned. Let yourself feel proud of your efforts.

An accumulation of fatigue will hit you this week. You won’t need much more proof that it is time for a short vacation or a little getaway to the countryside.

AQUARIUS

LEO

Expect to have an active social life in the next few days. Your loved ones entice you to take part in some exciting activities. All this fun will also help you heal your mind.

Despite a bumpy start to a family or business project, you will be successful. If you dig through the pockets of an old coat you may find a small fortune.

PISCES

VIRGO You are a naturally curious person and this week you will spend much of your spare time mulling over existential questions. This is also a good week to give lots of attention to your home and family.

Some important responsibilities are coming your way. If you are offered a promotion at work, be sure to weigh the pros and cons with your family. After all, they are the ones who might suffer from a change in your schedule.

Everything you ever needed to know about buying a new home

GVHBA to hold 18th annual seminar The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association will present its 18th annual First-Time Home Buyers Seminar on Tuesday, April 3 at the Bell Performing Arts Centre in Surrey. Featuring guest speakers like senior market analyst for the Canada Mortgage and House Corporation Robyn Adamache and Wendy Acheson, vice-president and registrar at the B.C. branch of the Homeowner Protection Office, potential buyers will be able to learn about what home type best matches their needs, which location is best for them and what their mortgage options are, among many other topics. “Our experts will help first-time

buyers consider all available options and important issues before they take that critical first step onto the property ladder,” says GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson. Doors will open at 6 p.m. and the seminar will take place between 7 and 9 p.m. That first hour will give people plenty of time to check out the builder displays and other home-related products and services, Simpson says. Participation is free, but attendees are asked to bring something for the Surrey Food Bank. Pre-registration is required. To preregister, check out www.gvhba.org or call 778-565-4288.

very long time.” The bathrooms continue the luxurious theme with their own sets of composite stone countertops and Italian cabinets. In partnership with the City of Burnaby, Intracorp is aiming to turn Beresford Street into a vibrant “Great Street,” Lai says. It will eventually feature extra-wide sidewalks, tree-lined streets and outdoor seating at streetfront cafes. “Designed by Richard Henry Architects and NSDA Architects, Silver

will incorporate a series of street-level townhomes and retail intended to bring new life to Beresford Street,” she says. Although the development hasn’t yet been released for sale, interested buyers are already contacting Intracorp. “There’s a lot of interest,” Lai says, “and it pretty much covers the whole (of) Greater Vancouver including our loyal past Intracorp purchasers.” Homes at Silver start in the mid$250,000s. For more information and to pre-register, check out www. silverliving.ca.

Becoming part of a dynamic neighbourhood

Breathing the rare air at Intracorp’s Silver by Kerry Vital

The Metrotown area of Burnaby continues to be a popular place to live, and with the addition of Intracorp’s newest development, Silver, it is about to get even more popular. “Getting into this neighbourhood early is the best opportunity to see real and sustained growth in your investment,” says Intracorp sales associate May Lai. “As the future unfolds, this dynamic neighbourhood will become even more desirable than it already is.” Silver is just steps from the Metrotown SkyTrain station, and within walking distance of great restaurants, shopping and recreation, including Central Park. Located right at the corner of Silver Avenue and Beresford Street, the 38-storey tower will offer one-, two- and two-bedroom and den suites in a variety of floorplans that include condos, flats and townhomes. Each will include its own large private cantilevered balcony. “You’ll be able to breathe some pretty rare air indeed,” says Lai. One of the most exciting parts about Silver is the inclusion of the Control4 home automation system. “It’s pretty amazing,” Lai says. “From your smartphone or tablet device, you will have the ability to control many of the functions within your home. The system will allow you to control the lighting, your music and your TV.”

“

This ... neighbourhood will become even more desirable than it already is,” says sales associate May Lai. The Control4 system can be expanded to control the temperature in your home as well as your security system, among other things. The kitchens at Silver could almost be considered works of art, with stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and Armony Cucine Italian cabinets. A thoughtful little detail is the aluminum lining in the kitchen and bathroom sink cabinets which will prevent damage from moisture and chemicals. “The exterior finishes are made of technologically advanced European textured-wood laminate and highgloss lacquer,” says Lai. “(It’s) easy to maintain, never fades and will last a

Buy a Power Smart home, save three ways Save now, and save later: not many homes can promise you that. But when you buy a home from a Power Smart New Home Builder you’ll save money, including reduced mortgage insurance and lower monthly bills. An EnerGuide label is your assurance that the home is independently rated to be energy-efﬁcient. And don’t forget, an energyefﬁcient home is more comfortable too. Layout, amenities, and those much-promoted granite countertops. There’s a lot to think about when you’re buying a new home. But there’s one feature that can make a positive difference to your wallet when you purchase, and every month that you own your home. Choosing a Power Smart New Home gives home buyers an easy way to find a home that is designed and built to save energy. “Buying an energy-efficient home is one of the best ways to maximize your home budget,” says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydro’s Power Smart New Home program. “If you save on expenses, you can afford more mortgage. But many new homes are not built with energy efficiency in mind - so looking for the EnerGuide label is wise.” An EnerGuide rating is a standard measure of a home’s energy performance, rated on a scale of 0 to 100. A rating of 0 represents a home with major air leakage, no insulation and extremely high energy consumption. A rating of 100 represents a house that is airtight, well insulated, sufficiently ventilated and requires no purchased energy. The first benefit you’ll find is on your mortgage insurance: Power Smart New Homes qualify for a 10 per cent refund on Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation Mortgage

“

Buying an energy-efﬁcient home is one of the best ways to maximize your home budget,” says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydro’s Power Smart New Home program. “If you save on expenses, you can afford more mortgage.” Insurance. You’ll also save on your monthly bills. Homes that are rated EnerGuide 80 use at least 30 per cent less energy than an average new home. That’s money in your pocket every month – especially great when energy costs are only expected to rise. Buy a home with a rating higher than EnerGuide 80, and save even more. The third benefit is resale value; as energy costs rise and green building continues to gain popularity, a home that demonstrates its efficiency will likely hold its value as compared to one that is inefficient with high monthly operating costs. There are other benefits as well, Overholt says. “Builders who are smart about energy efficiency are adopting improved building practices and making use of new technologies. Their homes are more comfortable – cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter – while using less energy overall. It’s hard to add energy efficiency later; you need to get it built in from the start.” The Power Smart New Home program gives you an easy way to find houses, townhomes, and condos that are designed to save energy. For more information and to find your energy efficient dream home, check out the full listing of Power Smart New Home Builders and featured developments at bchydro.com/pshomes.

WE MAKE IT EASY TO FIND A HOME THAT’S BUILT TO SAVE. NOT ALL NEW HOMES ARE BUILT WITH ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN MIND. That’s why it pays to look for a Power Smart New Home Builder when shopping for your next home. Power Smart New Homes are independently rated EnerGuide 80 or higher, which means they use at least 30% less energy than an average new home. And since they’re built the smart way, they stay cooler in the summer and cozier in the winter—all while saving you money for years to come.
