Surrey Mountie killed in the line of duty

by Sheila Reynolds

EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER

CONDOLENCES ARE pouring in for the family and friends of the Mountie killed early Tuesday morning in a crash with a transport truck. Const. Adrian Oliver, 28, was on duty when his unmarked police vehicle and a semi-trailer collided in the intersection of 64 Avenue and 148 Street in Newton at approximately 5 a.m. on Nov. 13. Oliver had been a police officer in Surrey for three-and-a-half years and was a second-generation RCMP member. Colleagues at the Surrey RCMP’s main detachment wore black and blue ribbons to honour Oliver as they listened to the official announcement of his death to media Tuesday morning. Several wept over the sudden loss of their friend and co-worker. RCMP Assistant Commissioner Craig Callens said it was an “extremely difficult and sad day for the RCMP,” and extended condolences to Oliver’s friends and family, including his mother, father and two brothers.

A photo of Const. Adrian Oliver sits on a table near the Surrey RCMP detachment’s Wall of Honour.

Surrey RCMP’s fallen officers

It has been 37 years since the city’s detachment lost a member on the job CONST. ADRIAN OLIVER is the first Surrey RCMP officer killed in the line of duty since 1975. There have been four other onduty Surrey Mountie deaths since the federal force took over policing the city in 1951. The last officer to die was Const.

John Brian Baldwinson, who perished on Oct. 28, 1975. He was driving late at night in poor visibility when he struck a horse and was killed. Const. John Terrance Draginda was responding to a report of a collision when he was involved in a crash with another vehicle Sept. 29, 1974. See WALL OF HONOUR / Page 5

New Port Mann to open Dec. 1 Tolls on span kick in Dec. 8, one week after eight lanes through Surrey officially welcome traffic by Jeff Nagel CoMMuters will soon find out if the new Port Mann Bridge ends their

gridlock gripes or simply moves Metro Vancouver’s biggest traffic bottleneck further down the highway and onto untolled crossings. The new bridge officially opens with eight lanes on Saturday, Dec. 1 and half-price tolls of $1.50 for regular cars will kick in a week later on Dec. 8. The transportation ministry estimates the new bridge will cut commute times 50 per cent and save some drivers an hour a day. But the full 10 lanes on the bridge and on the widened Highway 1 through Vancouver and Burnaby won’t be open until late in 2013 because construction is continuing on much of the corridor. And some critics say even when the full project is complete, traffic heading to those cities will hit heavy volume at the off-ramps, backing traffic up onto the freeway. “My prediction is congestion,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said. “The pinch point will just be moved.” He said Burnaby, New Westminster and Derek Corrigan Vancouver are all refusing to free up more road capacity in response – by eliminating parking lanes, for example. “The highway is the access point and if that’s where people end up having to sit, that’s where they have to sit.” But Port Mann/Highway 1 project spokesman Max Logan said much of the westbound bridge traffic exits at Cape Horn or Brunette Avenue. “We’re not expecting anything significant in terms of a pinch point or traffic bottleneck,” he said, adding drivers should see similar conditions they now see west of Brunette, until the entire $3.3-billion project is finished in late 2013. It’s a different story east of the bridge. By Dec. 1, there will be four lanes open in each direction running from Brunette over the bridge as far east as 200 Street in Langley – a doubling of highway capacity through Surrey.

“My prediction is congestion. The pinch point will just be moved.”

Oliver: Condolences from ‘coast to coast’ From page 1

He said Oliver’s father is also a serving member of the RCMP, as is one of his brothers, who is an officer in the Lower Mainland. Callens said Oliver had been an RCMP member since late 2008, and was excited to follow in his father’s footsteps. “Clearly it is a tragic day for the Oliver family and for the entire RCMP,” Callens said. RCMP Supt. Bill Fordy, officer in charge of the Surrey detachment, said Oliver was heading back to the Surrey RCMP detachment on 56 Avenue and 144 Street at the end of his shift when the fatal crash occurred. The police vehicle was reportedly driving west on 64 Ave-

nue while the transport truck was driving east. There is no indication Oliver’s vehicle’s lights or sirens were activated at the time. The investigation continues with the oversight of the Vancouver Police Department. Fordy called Oliver “an outstanding police officer, with a great attitude and commitment to serve others.” He said the primary concern right now is for Oliver’s family and friends and said the RCMP is ensuring members and employees impacted by the death have the proper support. Canada’s Minister of Public Safety, Vic Toews, also expressed his condolences to Oliver’s family, friends and colleagues. “This is a very sad

day for all Canadians. The death of a police officer in the line of duty reminds us of the devotion and sacrifice of those who serve each day to keep us safe.” On Wednesday, Fordy expressed gratitude at what he describes as “the immense outpouring of support being shown by all levels of government and citizens from all walks of life, as well as by other law enforcement personnel and emergency services workers from across the country. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Constable Oliver’s family and loved ones. They are dealing with the greatest of losses, but are comforted by the love and support they have received from coast to coast. Every single message, email, and flower sent is a reminder of the appreciation of the community for the ultimate sacrifice paid by Adrian,” Fordy said. He added funeral arrangements for Oliver are being made, the details of which will be provided later. Those who wish to send condolences to the family of Const. Adrian Oliver may do so by emailing Condolences_Condoleances@ rcmp-grc.gc.ca

Words of comfort “Our thoughts and prayers are with those gathered to mourn. We join you in recognizing the supreme sacrifice of a young officer whose dreams and achievements have been cut short in the line of duty...” – Vancouver Police Chief Jim Chu “On behalf of Transit Security, Coast Mountain Bus Company pleases except our heartfelt condolences on your loss...”

Draginda and two people in the other vehicle were killed. Const. Roger Emile Pierlet died on March 29, 1974. He was working his last shift before taking time off for his wedding when he saw a vehicle being driven erratically. He stopped the car and was shot to death by one of the occupants.

Const. Archille Octave Maxime Lepine was driving a police motorcycle on King George Highway on July 15, 1962 when a vehicle turned left in front of him. He died from his injuries four days later. There have been other Surrey RCMP officers killed since 1975, but not while on duty. One of the most recent was helicopter pilot Dave Brolin. Brolin,

Fish-habitat letters back from the grave Wood

Of all hIs wORRIes about the state of wild

salmon, provincially and nationally, my late father (2002), a B.C. commercial salmon fisherman for a good half-century, seemed to be worried most about fish farming and permanent damage to B.C.’s wild salmon. Indeed, he’d be whirling in his urn if he could still observe what our governments are doing – and much more frightening, going to do – to seriously damage salmon habitat to a point way beyond what Dad thought would ever be done. So many early mornings, I’d briefly get up for

a washroom break and see the light breaking underneath his bedroom door and into the hallway’s darkness, with my father on the other side slowly typewriting missives to various politicians. I must have proofread almost a couple hundred letters of his over the years, just on this topic alone. Although I’d assure him that the politicians do not have the time to personally respond to each concerned writer, they almost certainly had hired staff to read the missives and use

a “template” letter response system, with a specific template ready to respond to every potential issue. All they’d likely do is type in the letterwriter’s name and address and print it out to mail back. Nonetheless, my father typed on about what were to him the greatest fish-habitat concerns of the day. Oh, the irony. Frank G. Sterle, Jr. White Rock

Rights of children Bad dogs, bad owners extend to unborn

In 1991, the CanadIan government ratified the United

Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), which they signed onto in 1990. The UNCRC, like the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of the Child which preceded it, is very clear in stating that the rights and legal protection of children are paramount in both born and unborn children. The preamble from the UNCRC states, “Bearing in mind that, as indicated in the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, the child, by reason of his physical and mental immaturity, needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection, before as well as after birth.” The 1989 Convention on the Rights of a Child that Canada signed onto is a binding agreement, that our country is in direct violation of. The lack of restrictions on abortion are not only way out of line with all other Western nations but are also an egregious infringement on the rights of children as recognized by the United Nations.

Re: “hIgheR fInes for bad dogs,” The Leader, Nov. 13. I have lived in Surrey for the past 13 years and counting. I have encountered a number of bad dog owners, so I differ with the opinion of “bad dog” syndrome. Is everyone forgetting about the owner? These animals are victims of the

training they get from their owners, or lack thereof. Please remember this when deciding on which behaviour needs to be modified. Have the owner adjust themselves accordingly. A dog owner should have to go to doggie school with pet in hand. Joni Bascur

Metro Vancouver’s yielding toward a wood smoke emissionfree neighbourhood environment needs to be strongly supported. The harmful side of wood smoke needs to be better understood by some officials as well as by the general public. Metro wants to control these toxic emissions in residential areas, even ban wood smoke, in order to provide cleaner and healthier air in neighbourhoods where burning takes place. The approximately 90 wood smoke complaints Metro gets per year would be in tenfold-plus if the general public knew that wood smoke contains numerous healthhazardous chemicals in addition to the fine particulate matter Metro is talking about. Some of these chemicals are labelled carcinogenic and mutagenic and through the process of breathing can get into the human body system and start doing what they are meant to do. Carcinogens will poison, and mutagens will mutate. This can result in cancer, as most forms of cancers are mutated cells. Wood smoke can harm the developing lungs of young children and exposure to wood smoke is linked to some stroke and heart problems. For the sake of humanity, Metro needs to go ahead and take these toxic wood smoke emissions out of neighbourhoods where cleaner fuel is available and do this even without further costly studies. At the same time, residents who rely on wood burning to heat their homes because they have no access to cleaner fuel need to be exempted. Wood smoke is a complex mixture of chemical substances that has no intrinsic value for the human body or for the environment. All it has are toxins to poison people and pollute the very air we need to breathe.

Signs for untolled crossing coming, drivers told Free ‘alternate route’ signage still being designed, province says

by Jeff Nagel Drivers who don’t

want to pay the tolls to cross the new Port Mann Bridge are being assured signs will be in place on opening day to direct them to the free alternate route. Transportation ministry officials say the signage is still being designed, so they can’t yet show what they will look like. But spokesman Max Logan said westbound

Highway 1 drivers will see the first warning of the toll bridge ahead at 200 Street and another sign 700 metres east of the 176 Street interchange will tell them to take that exit for the South Fraser Perimeter Road (SFPR) if they want to take the untolled crossing. The north Surrey section of the SFPR will also open when the new Port Mann does, Logan said, quickly carrying alternate route drivers

to the Pattullo Bridge. Motorists who continue west on Highway 1 will see another sign at 160 Street warning that’s the last exit before the toll bridge. The bridge is slated to open on Saturday, Dec. 1. Eastbound Highway 1 drivers seeking to avoid tolls will be directed to take the Brunette Avenue off-ramp to Columbia Street and then over the Pattullo to the SFPR.

As with the westbound signage, eastbound ones will indicate a toll bridge ahead and advise of the “alternate route.” One will be placed 700 metres before Brunette and the earlier one will be near Willingdon. The United Boulevard exit will be marked as the last exit before the toll bridge. Logan said smaller “route shield” wayfinding signs will help drivers navigate through

Burnaby and New Westminster between Highway 1 and the Pattullo Bridge. Another alternate route sign will be placed northbound on Highway 15 (176 Street) to alert drivers heading to Highway 1 from the U.S. border that the Port Mann is tolled. “As they approach Highway 10, it will let drivers know they have the option of proceeding to Highway 1 or taking Highway 10,”

Logan said. Drivers taking 152 Street onto Highway 1 westbound will also be alerted that they’ll be taking a toll bridge. Logan said the signs are mainly to ensure visitors aren’t confused, adding locals should have no trouble deciding on their best route.

Critics predict the lack of any other way onto the SFPR in Surrey west of 176 Street means many Surrey drivers heading over the Fraser River will clog local streets as they head to the Pattullo, instead of taking the new perimeter road.

Bridge: Lane use phased in From page 3

NOTICE OF REVITALIZATION TAX EXEMPTION PROGRAM BYLAW (Pursuant to Community Charter Section 227) TAKE NOTICE THAT The Corporation of Delta (“Delta”) intends to adopt the ‘Scott Road Revitalization Bylaw No. 7142’. This bylaw offers municipal property tax exemptions, reduced development cost charges and municipal fee exemptions for eligible projects located in the Scott Road Economic Investment Incentive Zone, as shown on the Schedule “A” map. The revitalization bylaw is intended to encourage investment in commercial and high-density residential developments, to enhance the attractiveness of the Scott Road corridor and to encourage sustainable development. The tax exemption program is available for a maximum period of three years for the following eligible projects: • An apartment or mixed-use building construction of ten storeys or more. • New commercial building with a construction value of $10 million or more. • Commercial renovations or improvements with a construction value of $5 million or more. The amount of municipal property tax exemption for an eligible project is equal to the difference of the amount between the current year’s annual property tax for the parcel, for land and improvements, and the annual property tax payable in the calendar year prior to the start of construction for the parcel, for land and improvements.

“We expect the Port Mann will be the crossing of choice...”

If an eligible project also qualifies as ‘low environmental impact’ (scoring at least 70 points on the Environmental Impact Rating Form), reduced development cost charges are applicable as follows: • 50% reduction for commercial developments. • 50% reduction for buildings between 10 and 19 storeys. • 70% reduction for buildings between 20 and 29 storeys. • 80% reduction for buildings of 30 storeys and higher. THIS NOTICE IS FOR THE PURPOSES OF PUBLIC DISCLOSURE ONLY. IT IS NOT A TENDER CALL OR AN INVITATION TO SUBMIT AN OFFER. Copies of the relevant documents may be inspected at the Municipal Hall. Any inquiries should be made to the Director of Human Resources & Corporate Planning, at 4500 Clarence Taylor Crescent, Delta, Monday through Friday (except statutory holidays) between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., prior to December 7, 2012.

One of the four lanes each way will be for HOV users, adding 20 kilometres where car pools and other vehicles with at least two occupants can bypass congestion. Registered HOV lane users also get a 25 per cent discount at peak times. Drivers who don’t want to pay a toll will be directed over the Pattullo Bridge, via the South Fraser Perimeter Road, which partly opens Dec. 1. NDP transportation critic Harry Bains predicts heavy congestion at that crossing and in feeder routes in Surrey and New Westminster as a result. “That is going to be a huge concern,” Bains said. “The Pattullo is dangerous and over capacity.” TransLink has also warned seismic and other safety risks could force the Pattullo to shut down before its 2020 target date for replacement. Logan said he expects some drivers will shift to the Pattullo – at least initially. “Come Dec. 8, once tolling begins, we may see some drivers gravitate to the untolled alternative,” he said. “We’re expecting drivers are going to test out the alternatives that are available to them and make the choice of the one that makes most sense to them.” Logan said some drivers may have been avoiding the Port Mann and Highway 1 because of construction delays and will now come back to it. “We expect the Port Mann will be the crossing of choice because it’s going to be just so much faster and more efficient than it is now.” Crews have been phasing in use of the new span in stages. Eastbound traffic has already been going over the new bridge since September and westbound traffic will switch over to two lanes on the new bridge on Nov. 17. Max Logan The final lanes to be opened on the new bridge in late 2013 will be for local traffic only. They’ll allow drivers heading between Surrey and Coquitlam to travel on separate lanes without having to merge with the rest of the freeway traffic to cross the bridge. Another change will see TransLink launch the Highway 1 RapidBus service over the Port Mann on Dec. 1. It will run between the Carvolth park-and-ride in northwest Langley and Braid Street SkyTrain station in New Westminster – every 10 minutes at peak times and every 30 off peak. But Bains said he’s concerned passengers will be stranded in Langley because TransLink’s planned service level may not meet demand. With six buses an hour leaving Carvolth, he said, there will only be capacity for 350 passengers an hour at peak periods and less at off-peak times. “We’re trying to work within our means,” TransLink spokesman Drew Snider said. “For now, this is what we are able to provide.”

Convicted Surrey slasher appeals verdict

Thursday, November 15, 2012 Surrey/North Delta Leader 9

Anthony LaRose stabbed two men in 2010

by Sheila Reynolds A Surrey mAn who

was found guilty in 2011 of slashing two other men across the face and throat is appealing his conviction. In March 2011 Anthony Andrew LaRose was convicted by a jury of two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of assault with a weapon and one count of possessing a weapon. He was later sentenced to seven years in jail. His appeal hearing was scheduled for Wednesday (Nov. 14) in the B.C. Court of

Appeal in Vancouver. The result was unknown prior to The Leader’s press deadline. LaRose’s conviction followed an April 2010 incident involving Chris Hanna and Saul Marshall. During the trial, the court heard that the pair were returning from a night out when they stopped at a gas station near Fraser Highway and 156 Street. They heard a commotion outside and ran across the street because they claimed they saw a man hit a woman. A fight broke out and the man, LaRose, pulled a knife on the two unarmed men, slashing

Marshall’s neck and slashing Hanna across the cheek and stabbing him three times in the gut. They both suffered massive blood loss, but survived. LaRose, who admittedly has an extensive criminal record, then fled the scene. During sentencing B.C. Supreme Court

Justice Neill Brown called the pair’s injuries “unequivocally life threatening” and LaRose’s response “savage.” LaRose, who is now 22, never denied stabbing the men, but claimed he did it in selfdefence because the two men attacked him.

inside a home in the Fleetwood neighbourhood of Surrey, her daughter was arrested for her murder. On the weekend, police identified Panagiota Zerbinos, 43, as the victim of the homicide and announced that her daughter, 28-year-old Gloria Zerbinos, was charged with seconddegree murder. Panagiota was found dead Nov. 8 in a home near 84 Avenue and 148A Street. (She was mistakenly identified by The Leader as a woman in her 20s at the time). Police said the cause of death and motive are not being released, but confirmed they are not seeking any other suspects and no other arrests are planned. They also said there was no indication the killing was drug related. “IHIT is pleased to be announcing the arrest and charge of Gloria Zerbinos only a few days into the investigation. However, we also acknowledge and recognize this tragedy that has occurred with a family losing a wife and mother and her daughter being charged with her murder,” said Cpl. Adam MacIntosh, spokesperson for IHIT (Integrated Homicide Investigation Team). Gloria Zerbinos was scheduled to make her first court appearance Tuesday (Nov. 13) morning.

Car involved in crash was stolen Honda Accord split in two after hitting a pole on Saturday night by Sheila Reynolds Surrey rCMP believe one of the vehicles involved

in a dramatic deadly crash on Saturday night (Nov. 10) was stolen. The green 1996 Honda Accord was heading east on 68 Avenue at about 10:30 p.m. when it ran a red light at 128 Street and struck a 2011 Chevy Equinox.

The stolen Honda spun and slammed into a pole, splitting the car in two, with the front end travelling nearly a block down the road before coming to rest in a yard. The two occupants – a 27-year-old male and a 49-year-old female – were thrown from the car. They are not believed to have been wearing seatbelts. The man suffered massive head trauma and died at the scene. The woman remains in serious

condition in hospital with multiple injuries. The occupants of the Chevy – a 55-year-old man and a female passenger – sustained minor injuries. Police don’t yet know if drugs or alcohol were involved but believe speed was a factor in the crash. There have been no charges laid and the investigation is ongoing.

listed in critical condition in hospital after being shot in the stomach Tuesday evening. Police were called to a home in the 8600 block of 155 Street at about 7:30 p.m. Nov. 13. They found the injured man who had apparently been in a fight with four other men in his backyard. The other men all fled before police arrived and descriptions of the suspects were vague. It is unclear if the man who was shot knew the others. Police say the victim is familiar to them due to his lengthy record and they say there was another male occupant of the house who is not being cooperative. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS if they wish to remain anonymous.

Police say at about 6 p.m., an unknown home invader broke into a home near 123 Street and 112 Avenue and shot the resident pitbull, named Leroy, in the chest. Surrey RCMP say the owner of the dog called them from the vet. The dog’s owner is known to police, who say he is not being cooperative with investigators. The investigation continues.

$5M on furniture for new city hall

Contract goes to Heritage Office Furniture by Kevin Diakiw Surrey iS preparing to spend $5

million on furniture for the new city hall being built in the City Centre. A staff report to council recommends awarding a contract to Vancouver-based Heritage Office Furniture Ltd. for $4.7 million, excluding HST, which will bring it to more than $5 million. The contract will include: office furniture, systems furniture and components, free-standing furniture, seating, desks and tables, filing systems such as cabinets and lockers, support services, and accessories such as lighting and signage. Three companies bid on the contract, including Brooks Corning/

Haworth, Knoll/The Office Resource and Heritage. The bids and products were reviewed by staff moving to the new city hall, 450 of whom saw presentations by all three companies. The furniture will be paid for out of the entire budget for the new city hall. Surrey is borrowing $97 million from the Municipal Finance Authority to pay for the building, but will pay $37 million of that back through the lease of its existing building at 142 Street and Highway 10. The new 180,000-sq.-ft. city hall will be built on the south side of 104 Avenue, east of University Boulevard. It will be complete by September 2013.

Surrey gangster loses murder appeal Raminder Bhander wanted conviction in 2008 shooting of Sunny Bains quashed

by Jeff Nagel CAr theftS in Surrey

were down another 16 per cent in the first six months of 2012, while vehicle break-ins dropped another 28 per cent. The statistics released by the provincial government show a continuing decline in auto crime in recent years. The turning point was the introduction of the Bait Car program in 2002, when auto crime was steadily rising and B.C. had one of the highest rates in North America. Surrey car thefts have plunged 66 per cent since then, from 2,426 in 2003 to 817 in 2012 (all figures for the first six months of the year). The drop was 78 per cent over that period for the entire Lower Mainland. Thefts from vehicles in Surrey are down 59 per cent since 2002 and 64 per cent across the region. ICBC officials say auto crime hasn’t been eradicated and thieves still prowl parking lots and streets looking for easy targets. Older vehicles are at greater risk because they often don’t have effective anti-theft devices and are easier to steal.

“By removing valuables, using an electronic vehicle immobilizer and parking in well-lit areas, you’re helping to prevent auto crime,” transportation minister Mary Polak said. ICBC tips for avoiding auto crime include: • Use an anti-theft device and remove possessions from your vehicle - shopping bags, spare change, electronics, briefcases, and the vehicle’s spare keys. • Electronic immobilizers are the best protection. They’re hard-wired into vehicles and shut down the starter, ignition and/ or fuel system. They require a special key or electronic device to start the engine and usually attach to your key ring. • Steering-wheel locks are a good visual deterrent for auto thieves but offer a lower form of protection. • Park in well-lit areas, near pedestrian traffic. • Keep your garage door opener out of sight. If parking on the street outside your residence, take the garage door opener with you. • Wait for the garage door gate to close behind you when entering a parkade. Thieves could take this opportunity to slip inside.

Bhander then went to a friend’s house and the two men went with a loaded gun to the townhouse shared by Bains and his girlfriend near 125 Street and 72 Avenue. As Bhander neared the entrance, Bains came downstairs towards Bhander with a sword. Bhander fired the gun repeatedly, hitting Bains four times – twice in the back. Bains died at the scene. Bhander was arrested and charged a few weeks later. During the trial, Bhander

admitted he shot Bains, but claimed it was in self-defence. At the time of Bhander’s conviction, police said Bhander was a longtime gangster who was heavily involved in the drug trade and who they were happy to see off the streets. “He was certainly a thug, who liked to beat on people and settle disputes as he did with this one,” said Cpl. Dale Carr, thenspokesman for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT). “Not a guy we want in the neighbourhood.”

SCOTT RD.

A Surrey mAn who shot another to death in 2008 will remain in prison after the appeal of his second-degree murder conviction was dismissed last week. Raminder (Mindy) Singh Bhander was found guilty in July 2010 of shooting 24-year-old Tejvir (Sunny) Bains to death. He was handed a mandatory life sentence with no chance of parole for 10 years. Bhander appealed the convic-

tion, arguing the judge erred in admitting certain statements and that police violated his rights during questioning when he confessed to killing Bains. The three B.C. Court of Appeal justices disagreed and his appeal was denied in a Nov. 7 unanimous decision. During the trial, the court heard that in late January 2008, Bhander, Bains and Bains’ girlfriend had a fight at a Surrey restaurant. The run-in was followed by an angry voicemail left for Bhander.

The traffic unit was working with the assistance of the Automated Licence Plate Reader (ALPR). The ALPR identified a passing vehicle, a dark green pick-up truck, as being associated to a prohibited driver. That pick-up was flagged down by officers and directed to stop so officers could validate the information from the ALPR, said Const. Craig van Herk. The driver of the pick-up initially followed the officers’ directions, but then drove off northbound on 240 Street from 0 Avenue. Three minutes later, that pickup was involved in the collision with two other vehicles at the intersection of 240 Street and 16 Avenue.

Wood smoke is new burning issue in Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crosshairs plaints for years about homes that burn firewood and smoke up the surrounding neighbourhood, Metro Vancouver says it will consider new regulations to help clear the air. No decisions have been made on exactly what approach to take, but regional district staff have concluded wood smoke from home fireplaces and stoves may pose a significant health risk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The options range from an outright ban in urban areas to things like ensuring wood stoves meet certain emissions standards or having burning limited to so many days per month,â&#x20AC;? said Ray Robb, Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environmental

regulation and enforcement division manager. The region is working with the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser health authorities to get a better assessment of potential health impacts and the resulting study will be completed next year, helping guide decisions. Metro gets about 90 wood smoke complaints a year. A staff report said residential wood burning can lead to spikes in fine particulate levels in neighbourhoods and accounts for an estimated 16 per cent of all fine particulate emissions in the region, compared to 10 per cent coming from all large permitted industries. But officials believe wood smoke causes an even higher propor-

tion of harm to health because the emissions happen close to where people live and chimneys arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t designed to dissipate smoke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These two factors combined result in a relatively high fraction of wood smoke finding its way into human lungs,â&#x20AC;? the report said. Elevated particulate levels from wood smoke tend to happen in West Vancouver, Vancouver, Surrey, Richmond and Port Coquitlam, the report said, and exposure is highest when people burn in dense urban neighbourhoods. Not everyone is convinced action is needed. Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin, the vice-chair of Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environment and parks committee, said Metro should leave the issue

up to individual cities to regulate, if they wish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Metro Vancouver needs to ban wood smoke,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding her city rarely gets complaints on the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look at wood smoke compared to vehicles,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you plan on banning vehicles? Are we going to ban something every time we get a complaint?â&#x20AC;? Martin said the consumer trend appears to be away from wood fireplaces in favour of natural gas anyway. More than 230 wood stoves or fireplaces in the region have been upgraded to cleaner models since 2009 through a provincially funded rebate program, but thousands of older ones remain in use. New wood stoves and fireplaces now sold must meet B.C. standards and most are highly efficient and produce much less smoke than old models. But even the newest models can be heavy polluters if people use wet, green wood, Robb noted. The two health authorities in 2011 told Metro evidence to that point did not justify tighter regulations and that more research was needed. Any new rules are expected to be lenient on residents who use wood as their sole source of heat. Robb said Metro wants to strike up a dialogue with residents on how it should proceed and what new rules would be supported. He predicted the region will focus on education and take a gradual, slow approach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things change,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you asked 100 years ago if people might not be allowed to smoke in a restaurant, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say you were nuts.â&#x20AC;?

Up in smoke â&#x20AC;˘ One third of Metro households had a wood-burning fireplace or stove as of 2010. â&#x20AC;˘ Two-thirds of those are used regularly. â&#x20AC;˘ Half of users donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t burn for heat, but mainly for ambiance, entertainment or to get rid of garbage.

Water: No back-up plan if supply is contaminated application is filed. A Trans Mountain information session in Surrey is scheduled for Ellendale Elementary School at 14525 110A Avenue on Wednesday, Nov. 21 from 5 to 8 p.m. The sessions follow a drop-in open house format. For more dates at other cities in the Lower Mainland see www. transmountain.com.

From page 23 Information sessions in the second half of November shift further inland along the Trans Mountain right-of-way, which runs through Burnaby, Coquitlam, Surrey and up the Fraser Valley near Highway 1. The pipeline was built nearly 60 years ago and homes, schools and other development has since sprung up along the route. But residents won’t know how close the new pipeline may come to their property until Kinder Morgan formally applies in late 2013 to build the $4.3-billion project and unveils the proposed corridor, which could deviate from the current one in some places. “They should definitely provide a clear route,” anti-pipeline activist Sheila Muxlow said. “It seems to us Kinder Morgan is going through this process in a backwards fashion.” Muxlow and others with the Pipe Up Network intend to bring their own protest message to the meetings and press Kinder Morgan over the firm’s safety record and capacity to handle spills. The potential risk to groundwater aquifers from an oil spill in Chilliwack and Abbotsford will

“It seems to us Kinder Morgan is going through this process in a backwards fashion.” Sheila Muxlow be a key issue, she said. “In Chilliwack, we don’t have a back-up plan for our water supply,” she said. “The water contamination risk alone is enough to really mobilize people to say ‘Whoa, that’s not worth the risk’.” Others, she added, increasingly believe it’s wrong to “build more infrastructure that holds us hostage to a fossil-fuel based economy.” A spokesperson for Kinder Morgan said the company wants advice from residents on where the route should go, adding that will help guide the engineering and environmental teams planning the pipeline corridor. “We’re very early on,” said Lizette Parsons-Bell, adding more rounds of consultation are expected next year and then again after the formal project

Trans Mountain Project • $4.3-billion construction of second pipeline from northern Alberta. • Increases capacity from 300,000 to 750,000 barrels per day. • Tanker visits to rise from five to 25 per month. • Original pipeline to carry refined fuels like gasoline and lighter crude oils, new pipeline would carry heavier oil, including bitumen from Alberta oil sands. • New pump stations along 1,150-kilometre corridor and extra storage capacity in Sumas and Burnaby, along with expansion of terminal. • Regulatory review expected in 2014-15, followed by construction in 2016-17.

A provincial ban on teenagers using tanning

Indoor tanning before age 35 raises the risk of developing melanoma by 75 per cent, according to the World Health Organization. Nearly 1,000 B.C. residents are diagnosed with melanoma each year and about 150 die of it.

2012

Teen tanning bed ban in effect

The ban was promised by the provincial government in March and followed requests from the Union of B.C. Municipalities. Use of tanning beds by youth is now only allowed under medical prescription to treat conditions like psoriasis.

B.C. teens have been victims of cyber-bullying, according to a new survey of parents. The online poll of 504 B.C. adults by West-6S Marketing found widespread concern about cyber-bullying, with 89 per cent very or somewhat concerned. Eight per cent of adults surveyed also said they’ve been cyberbullied and that rose to 12 per cent among heavy users of Facebook or Twitter. More mainstream use of social media means cyber-bullying is becoming more widespread and not just limited to online chat rooms, according to 6S Marketing president Chris Breikss. “Considering the speed of social media and its availability – through smart phones, tablets – harassment has become inescapable,” he said. “It turns into a roundthe-clock nightmare. The internet’s immediacy gives bullies a perception of power and the sheer volume of these unmoderated interactions can have devastating consequences.” About 46 per cent of B.C. adults use Facebook daily – rising to 64 per cent of 18- to 34-yearolds – and levels are higher in households with teens. Sixteen per cent use Twitter daily (37 per cent in the 18-34 group.) Fifty-eight per cent of parents surveyed said they believed their teens were the victims of “traditional” bullying.

beds is now in effect to reduce their future risk of skin cancer. Tanning salons that fail to post signage about the ban or who illegally let minors use tanning equipment without a prescription can now be fined $345 for each offence.

Colder nights and wet days mean tough times for small birds, and many come to gardens and yards in search of food. Some are migrants spending the winter at the coast, having nested at higher altitudes or in more northern areas of the province. Providing bird feeders gives us an opportunity to enjoy their presence. Seed feeders attract many species, including flocks of dark-eyed juncos. This very common winter visitor can be well-camouflaged on the ground, but seldom stays still. The flock’s erratic movements help them avoid predators such as the Cooper’s hawk or merlin. White-crowned sparrows, house finches and bushtits also travel in flocks, for safety and company. Bushtits are tiny grey birds with long tails, that nest locally, building pendulous nests in gardens and parks. In fall, they gather into larger and larger flocks, sometimes as many as seventy together, and roam around feeding on aphids and other small insects. They will readily come to a suet feeder and are a comical sight when they all try to gather on it at once. Suet is also good for attracting downy woodpeckers and is a nutritious alternative for resident chickadees and nuthatches, which spend much of their time at seed feeders. To keep squirrels away, try using hot pepper-flavoured suet blocks, as the birds are not affected by the taste. Anna’s hummingbirds used to be uncommon in B.C., but these southern

COMMITTEE, COMMISSION, AND BOARD APPOINTMENTS

Keep those feeders stocked in winter Anne Murray birds have moved steadily north over the last two decades and now regularly nest in Delta. They survive the cold by eating insects and also come to nectar feeders. If you start using a feeder, you should commit to keeping it freshly topped up, as the tiny, fast-moving birds will rely on it in a sudden cold snap. When positioning bird feeders, it is advisable to have bushes fairly close, so that birds can escape if a predator appears. Very many birds die by hitting windows, so feeders should be placed either well away from buildings or within one metre of the glass. This prevents flying birds from gaining speed and injuring themselves on impact. Ultra-violet, leaf-shaped window decals work well as a glass alert, and are unobtrusive for people looking out. Domestic cats are also a major danger for small birds and should be kept indoors as much as possible. With care, you can have a garden full of birds to watch all winter.

tion of basket weaving and exchange on the lower Fraser River is the focus of a revealing new exhibit at the Surrey Museum this fall. Baskets for Barter features woven cedar baskets from the Surrey Museum’s own collection, along with historic and contemporary Coast Salish baskets from the Musqueam Indian Band, the Museum of Anthropology, the Royal B.C. Museum, New Westminster Museum and Archives and from private collections across the Lower Mainland, making it one of the most diverse exhibits of its type assembled. The exhibit spans the centuries. There’s a 3,500-yearold basket fragment from on display (on loan from UBC’s department of archeology) – a marvel, considering how long these organic weaving remains have survived. There are modern wonders, too, such as a colourful cellphone case made from woven cedar adorning a figure draped in a dress and hat made from cedar, testament to the material’s versatility. “The tradition is still alive and well within the community,” says Surrey Museum manager Rob McCullough, who points out that 10,000 years of knowledge, skill, tradition and culture has been passed down to the present. The exhibit began as an attempt to showcase the museum’s own collection of First Nations basketry, focusing on barter and trade. But those plans soon blossomed into a collaborative exhibit that’s the first of its kind for the museum, McCullough said. McCullough said museum was the catalyst for the project, but the exhibit wouldn’t have been possible without the cooperation and collaboration of the Musqueam and Sto:lo communities. The museum’s basketry, he said, was acquired in an era they were classified simply as “Northwest Coast” rather than by their nations of origin – ignoring millennia of history and geographic reality.

object’s origins, based on design, materials and construction technique. Living memories were accessed as well. McCullough tells the story of Howard Grant, who remembers crossing the Pattullo Bridge to take baskets onto a reserve in Surrey that’s no longer in use. Another key expert was Jordan Wilson from the Musqueam Indian Band, who interviewed elders and craftspeople who are continuing the tradition of cedar weaving today. Thanks to his work, elders and contemporary artisans are given a voice, through videos, photographs, display boards and the works themselves. “If one was giving someone berries, it would have The exhibit’s baskets came been in a from along the Fraser River. basket – and that basket would have been kept and used by the recipient,” according to Musqueam community member Leona Sparrow, quoted in one exhibit panel. The exhibit highlights three different spots along the river: Musqueam, located at the mouth of the Fraser, New Westminster, and the traditional territory of the Sto:lo, located upriver from Chilliwack. What’s now modern day Surrey was in the middle. Maps are crammed with details visitors won’t easily locate elsewhere, such as names for places that have been in use for thousands of years, to places that have already vanished from contemporary parlance. For instance, the Musqueam had several settlements in the New Westminster area, including one reserve sold in 1959. McCollough said from 1879 to 1916, a general reserve was created in New West for the many First Nations who seasonally visited the town to work and trade. A small reserve for Langley First Nations was also located in the area, but was sold. Today, a small group of people are self-identified as the New Westminster Band. In daily life throughout the centuries, baskets were used as containers for food and water, and were an important aspect of gift-giving at feasts, outlawed along with other traditional practices until more enlightened laws prevailed in the late 20th century. The great skill involved in making them has been passed down through the millennia, preserving cultural traditions and knowledge that endure to this day. Cedar bark – harvested from living western red cedar trees – makes for a versatile material. Bark and roots can be woven into many forms, from the practical to the profound: the exhibit includes examples baby carriers, baskets used for berry collecting and storage to chairs, bottles and even tables – examples of these are also on display. Taking such a collaborative approach is something new for the Surrey Museum, but the result was worth it. “We’re happy they wanted to work with us,” McCullough said. “It’s starts to build bridges and create relationships.” Without the Musqueam, he said, the exhibit’s “soul would have been missing. Baskets for Barter is on display to Dec. 22 at the Surrey Museum, 17750 56A Ave. The museum is closed on Sundays and Mondays.

Junior A hockey team earns five points from three games

Eagles ascend into second by Rick Kupchuk In a weekend that saw a four-

game win streak come to an end, the Surrey Eagles aren’t complaining. The B.C. Hockey League team earned five of a possible six points, including three of four while on a two-game trip in the north Okanagan, and have taken over sole possession of second place in the Coastal Division. Now on an 8-1-0-1 (won-losstied-overtime loss) since the Thanksgiving weekend, the Eagles edged the Salmon Arm Silverbacks 3-2 in overtime Friday night, lost by the same score in extra time Saturday in Vernon against the Vipers, then derailed the Coquitlam Express by a 6-1 score Monday afternoon in the South Surrey Arena. Tied with the Express for third place – behind the Prince George Spruce Kings – a week ago, Surrey is now three up on Prince demico Hannoun George and five better than Coquitlam. The Eagles took 33 of their 36 shots at the Coquitlam goal in the first 40 minutes, finding the net a half-dozen times. Drew Best sandwiched a pair of goals around an Express power play tally in the first period, then completed his hat trick five minutes into the second for a 3-1 Surrey lead. Demico Hannoun, Nicolas Peirog and Stefan Burzan added to the Eagles goal total before the second intermission. The Express dominated play in the third period, outshooting their hosts 17-3, but couldn’t beat Michael Santaguida in the Surrey

The weekend road trip began with Santaguida earning firststar honors in a win over the Silverbacks, as the 19-year-old netminder from Mississauga, Ontario stopped 33 of 35 Salmon Arm shots. Surrey, which managed just 21 shots on goal, didn’t lead until

Jordan Klimek scored two minutes into overtime. Kevan Kilistoff and Trevor Cameron tallied in regulation time, each goal tying the game after Salmon Arm took a one-goal lead. It was the Eagles having an edge in shots on goal Saturday in Vernon, only to lose in overtime. Goaltenders dominated with Sur-

rey holding a 48-40 edge in shots. Vernon scored the game’s first goal, but Mason Blacklock netted a shorthanded goal to tie the game 1-1 after 20 minutes. The Vipers took another lead five minutes into the second frame, then Brett Mulcahy replied for the Eagles while on the powerplay. Vernon scored the winner with

five seconds remaining in the second overtime period. Having earned 11 points in six games in the month of November, the Eagles have a chance to move into a first-place tie with the Chilliwack Chiefs when the two teams clash tomorrow (Friday) night in the South Surrey Arena. Game time is at 7 p.m.

Devils lose at home to Sockeyes, Wolf Pack PJHL team remains in third place in Tom Shaw Conference

by Rick Kupchuk Two losses on home

ice have dropped the North Delta Devils back to the .500 mark. The Pacific Junior Hockey League team was blanked 3-0 by the North Vancouver Wolf Pack Friday night, then were topped 5-3 by the Richmond Sockeyes on Saturday. Both games were at the Sungod Arena. North Delta fell to 10-10-0-1 (won-loss-

tied-overtime loss), and are six points back of the Sockeyes and three ahead of Grandview while in third place in the Tom Shaw Conference. The Devils have played three more games than their two rivals. Against the lastplace Wolf Pack on Friday, the Devils were outshot 43-37, but couldn’t beat Anders Ten Vaanholt in the North Vancouver goal. The Wolf Pack scored

the Kwantlen Eagles men’s and women’s basketball teams are looking forward to their first home games of the PACWEST (Pacific Western Athletic Association) season. After each team opened the season with a win two weeks ago, both squads lost a pair of games to fall to 1-2 (won-lost) on the season. The men started with an 81-62 loss to the Capilano Blues in North Vancouver Friday. Princess Margaret Secondary graduate Ali Bosir was the only Eagles player to hit double digits in scoring, netting 10 points. Gurpal Mann, Nii-Norty Engmann, Jag Takhar and Chris Arcangel added 10 each. Mann, a Queen Elizabeth Secondary graduate, led all rebounders with six while first-year point guard Aleksander Mihajilovic of North Delta had three assists. One night later in Squamish, Kwantlen came up just short in an 87-82 loss to the Quest Kermodes. “This was a hard fought battle for four quarters,” said Eagles head coach Stefon Wilson. “The dif- Jag Takhar ference in this game was free throws. We lost by five points and missed 14 foul shots. We have to do a better job of focusing at the free throw line. They are easy points and can be costly if not converted.” Takhar, a guard and a graduate of Guildford Park Secondary, led Kwantlen with 21 points, followed by Arcangel with 18. Aaron Ram contributed 13 points and Engmann scored 10. Mann and Mihajilovic each grabbed five rebounds. The women’s team began its weekend with a close game in North Vancouver against Capilano, falling 59-50. Jeannine Yngresso, a second-year guard from Holy Cross high school, paced the Eagles with 15 points while adding two assists and a pair of rebounds. Forward Sara Kurath had a strong all around game with 10 rebounds, eight points, two assists, a pair of blocks and one steal, while rookie AmberLee Kavanagh collected eight rebounds. Yngresso and Kavanagh each had a double double in Saturday’s 71-57 loss to Quest in Squamish. Yngresso had 20 points and 10 rebounds, while Kavanagh, a five-foot-11 forward from Langley, scored 15 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. “We competed hard but we made some crucial mistakes at critical times which cost us both games,” said coach Dan Nayebzadeh. “At times, we showed some grit, we just have to be able to play competitively for a full 40 minutes.” The first weekend at home for the two Eagles teams begins tomorrow (Friday) night with the Langara Falcons as the visitors, while Douglas College Royals play in the Kwantlen Polytechnic University gym on Saturday. Games times both nights are 6 p.m. for the women and 8 p.m. for the men.

So far, so good for Dear Rouge, the synth-pop husbandand-wife duo, who have collaborated for just a few years after previously working on their own personal and independent music projects. (The band’s name comes from Danielle’s hometown, Red Deer, Alta.). Their band, backed up by musicians Adam Stewart (keyboard, guitar), Maclean Carlson (drums), and Ryan Worsley (bass), has recently cracked the top three spots in FM102.7’s The Peak Performance Project, guaranteeing them a minimum of $50,000 to invest in their next album and for marketing. Second prize nets $75,000 and the winner takes home a whopping $100,000. The McTaggarts will learn the final results of the Peak Performance Project on Nov. 22 when they play the iconic Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver for the contest finale. Drew says making the top three out of about 500 other bands is a huge deal, giving Dear Rouge not only local buzz, but the “whole” experience of being a working band, including learning about publicity aspects such as videos, social media Dear Rouge will play at the Surrey Christmas tree lighting and photography – things that were necessary to festival on Nov. 24 at Central City Plaza. apply for the contest.

What they also had to fine-tune was a unique sound for Dear Rouge, a major musical diversion from Drew’s “old” (but concurrent) band (some of whose members are Dear Rouge musicians), as well as his own acoustic/folksy personal style and Danielle’s pop background. In a one-two punch this year, they released two short EPs, Heads Up! Watch Out! in April, and then Kids Wanna Know in October. Drew says the biggest challenge when trying to break into the mainstream is creating music that’s radio-friendly. That means lots of rethinking recordings. The band’s pop songs, he says, must find a balance between the extremes of too creative and too cheesy, and they can’t be longer than four minutes. It’s a tricky thing for Drew – although Danielle finds the pop more comfortable. While the two now have the finances in place to fund their first full album for 2013, they haven’t forgotten their hard-working roots and are keeping their full-time jobs. And they’ve continued to donate 10 per cent of all music sales to the Centre for Child Development, which supports children with developmental disabilities and their families. They’ve also recorded Noah’s Song for Noah Jacobson, a South Surrey boy who has autism. All proceeds from online sales are going to his therapy. The song can be purchased at http://dearrouge.bandcamp.com/track/ noahs-song Drew says giving back is “a foundation of who we are as people.” For more information, visit http://dearrouge.com/

a man who contacted Faessler after a story about him ran in The Leader in 2006. In the background of the newspaper photograph of Faessler was a small painting of a barn with a unique roof. The man on the phone was incredibly excited because it was the barn his father had built in the 1930s, a building the family didn’t even have a photo of. He purchased the painting and hung it beside his ailing father’s bed. The man called again later that year to say his father had passed away, but that he’d asked a

half years in the making, but Ernie Faessler is the proud author of a second book. Faessler, who turns 89 at the end of the month, has recently published Incredible Pioneer Stories, a collection of about two dozen tales from the longtime Surrey resident’s childhood through to his adult years. Each is accompanied by a painting by Faessler, many of them barns from across the province which are no longer standing, preserved only in his artwork. Most of the short stories come straight from

Faessler’s razor-sharp memory and others are as they were told to him by family friends. One, titled Canine Emergency Run, is Faessler’s favourite and took place when he was about eight or nine years old. It details the story of a trapper who was badly injured and alone in a remote cabin in winter. In desperation, he attached a note to his beloved dog and then whipped him and told him to “go home” in hopes that someone would then come looking for him. Eventually, the dog did return, leading help (from two men, including Faessler’s dad) back to the bleeding man and saving his life. “All these stories… I was at those places when they happened,” he says, speculating why it has stuck with him all these years. “I was at a very young, impressionable age.” Another story, called One Last Gift, tells of

nurse to take the painting from the wall and died holding it to his chest. Such stories, Faessler says, are deeply ingrained. “They’ll never leave me.” Money from the sale of Incredible Pioneer Stories will be donated to the B.C. Cancer Agency. Proceeds from his first book, Barns: From Our Pioneers Builders of a Nation, benefited leukemia research. The disease took Faessler’s wife of 35 years and his book sales raised $6,000. Now out of print, it is available in every Surrey library. Faessler will be signing copies of Incredible Pioneer Stories at the Guildford Town Centre location of Black Bond Books on Nov. 17, 1-2 p.m. His book is available for purchase at Black Bond locations in Surrey, White Rock and Langley.

Surrey/North Delta Leader 45

Keeping Surrey schools safe The largest district in B.C. has an array of tools to create a caring educational environment by Corry Anderson-Fennel, Special to The Leader

here are more students in the Surrey School District than there are residents in the entire City of New Westminster. And keeping them all safe falls to district manager of safe schools Theresa Campbell and her team: assistant manager Rob Rai, Sharon Yap-Chung and the 64 (and growing) staff members who work in the district’s Safe Schools department. Since joining the district in 2002, Campbell has introduced numerous successful prevention/intervention programs and resource materials to enhance student and staff safety. Many of these projects have been recognized and replicated worldwide. “It’s our responsibility to create a safe and caring school environment for 70,000 students,” Campbell says. “Admittedly, it can be a bit of a daunting task.” With support from the Surrey Board of Education, the department has grown significantly over the last decade and now includes: • 27 safe school liaisons who monitor and respond to potential safety/security concerns at 19 secondary schools while building relationships with students and modelling healthy behaviours; • Five substance use liaisons providing prevention, intervention and support to youth and their families affected by drug and alcohol use; • Five youth diversity liaisons working with at-risk youth vulnerable to gang or other criminal activity; • 600 supervision aides providing lunch-hour security at all elementary and some secondary schools. Surrey RCMP also supports the department by funding 14 school liaison officers, five RCMP members who deal exclusively with youth at risk, and two plainclothes members assigned to the district’s “Wraparound” gang intervention program. “Essentially, we deal with anything that impacts school safety, climate and culture,” says Rai. “We don’t have a day that’s typical,” adds Yap-Chung. “We’re hopping from the moment we arrive in the morning until the end of the day.” With the rise of social media and the portability of online communication through mobile devices and applications, students can connect 24-7 if they desire. This unprecedented access means an issue or incident taking place outside the school environment can quickly extend to an issue within the school environment PHOTO SUBMITTED Campbell and her Safe Schools team find the greatest success through initiatives that empower students, such as the district’s bullying prevention website, www.psst- Rob Rai and Sharon Yap-Chung are part of the Safe Schools team in Surrey. bc.ca.

BULLYING AWARENESS WEEK

Getting involved is key

Safe School Liaison Connie Pollitt builds relationships with students by Corry Anderson-Fennell Special to The Leader Connie Pollitt thinks of the

kids at North Surrey Secondary as her own. “I’m constantly working hard to build relationships and trust with my kids through positive interactions,” she says. “It’s all about engaging with them, finding out who they are and what they’re like.” Pollitt is one of 27 safe school liaisons (SSLs) who provide direct security to students and staff in the district’s 19 secondary schools. Patrolling the grounds and the hallways, she identifies any real or potential safety concerns and responds to any emergent issues. Key to her position is the rapport she’s developed with students, which Pollitt uses to help ensure students stay safe. She even volunteers as an assistant basketball coach and is a school swim club sponsor.

Connie Pollitt is one of 27 safe school liaisons (SSls) who provide direct security to students and staff in the district’s 19 secondary schools. “I try to get involved as much as I can because that’s what I say to my kids: get involved.” The job of an SSL is to use skillful prevention techniques to address inappropriate student behaviour. SSLs can also intervene in a conflict, but only where it’s safe to do so.

In her 13 years on the job, Pollitt has only intervened once in a physical confrontation between students, and her presence quickly defused the situation without anyone getting hurt. More often, Pollitt finds herself having positive conversa-

tions with students and sharing in their joys and successes as they tell her about a high test score, an interesting project they’re working on or a challenge they overcame. “I’ve loved my job from the beginning. The kids are really good to me.”

The Surrey School District offers numerous prevention/intervention programs and resource materials to enhance student and staff safety. They include: • The Wraparound Program The Surrey Wraparound Program (Wrap) is a partnership between the Surrey School District, RCMP and the City of Surrey for youth who are at risk for gang-associated behaviour. The program’s objective is to positively attach youth to school, their community and the home by building trusting, positive relationships. Parents, caregivers and/or guardians are included in goal-setting while assisting the program’s objective in building a positive lifestyle and self-worth for youth. • Alternative Suspension The Alternative Suspension/iR3 program is an intensive session designed to promote social skills and self-worth, improve motivation and personal development. A partnership between Surrey Schools and the YMCA of Greater Vancouver, and combining the expertise and experience of both iR3 and the national YMCA program, the program is based at the Tong Louie Family YMCA. Students split their time between conventional academic studies and social/emotional workshops aimed at getting to the root causes of their negative behaviour. • Surrey Appreciates ME (SAME) The objective of Surrey Appreciates ME or SAME is to honour, embrace and promote diversity. Designed to provide education, support and direct intervention as needed to students, parents, families, peers and members of the broader community, SAME works to build bridges and promote greater cross-cultural understanding through social and cultural integration activities, student mentorship, leadership and volunteerism. • Diverse Youth Gang The Diverse Youth Gang prevention program is for youth that are considered a high risk for gang/criminal involvement, based on Surrey RCMP and Surrey School District data. An individual case management plan is created for each youth and supported by a dedicated staff member. Diverse Youth Gang also provides targeted education and prevention programming to selected school communities. A 24-session training program is provided to elementary youth to help them build self-esteem, refusal skills, decision-making skills, self-regulation, leadership development and attachment to healthy recreational activities, peers, and adults. The students in each classroom then use their newly acquired skills to plan, develop, and deliver a parent forum on youth gang prevention at their elementary school. • PSST (Protecting Surrey Schools Together) PSST is a website (www.psst-bc.ca ) designed by Surrey School District in partnership with the Surrey RCMP and sponsored by the BC Lions. The site is for students who want to discuss school safety but want to remain anonymous. It includes an online “REPORT IT” tip box that allows students to confidentially report dangerous or illegal activity other issues happening at their schools or in their community. For more information, call 604-596-7733.

UDI hands out Awards for Excellence

ParkLane honoured for River District The Urban Development Institute – Pacific Region hosted its biennial Awards for Excellence last month, which recognized amazing development projects from across British Columbia. Among the winners was ParkLane Homes’ River District Centre, which won the Best Outside the Box award. “Our goal with River District Centre was to take a unique approach to community building. We wanted this building to become a neighbourhood hub, and just a year after opening, we couldn’t be happier with the results we see today,” says ParkLane COO Ben Taddei. “Our team thanks

the Urban Development Institute and congratulates all the winners and nominees for their continued dedication to innovative and sustainable development in B.C.” Other winners at the awards included Bosa Properties and Adera. “I think all the award winners and nominees can take great pride in what the development industry has accomplished these past two years,” says UDI President and CEO Anne McMullin. “The contribution from our industry sustains a healthy urban fabric and a strong B.C. economy.” The full list of winners is available on www.udi.bc.ca.

A host of amazing details

Elegance can be found at Emaar’s Wills Creek By Kerry Vital

Emaar Properties Canada is building on their reputation for amazing homes with Wills Creek, a townhome development in South Surrey’s rapidly growing community of Morgan Creek. Emaar is known for building beautiful homes, and this project is no different. “There is not a building out there that will beat our quality,” says sales manager Enrica Paris. The spacious townhomes, ranging from 2,158 to 4,700 square feet, feature Craftsman-style architecture, with cedar-shingled roofs, coarse granite stone cladding and herringbone brick pavers on the patio and sidewalks. Inside, the rich hardwood flooring throughout the main level is one of the first things you notice. The 10-foot vaulted ceilings in most plans are another feature that contribute to the spacious feel of your new home. Huge windows let the light in, while the oversized doors maximize the space. The kitchens are elegant and efficient, with custom-designed Shaker-style cabinetry and a large island finished with a polished granite countertop. That countertop is complemented by a handset textured natural stone backsplash and the under-cabinet and recessed lighting. Stainless-steel appliances are included, along with a stainless-steel canopy range hood from Broan. Moving into the master suite, you feel like you’re entering your own personal oasis. The ensuite bathroom features an oversized soaker tub with a marble deck and a frameless glass walkin shower with a rain shower head. The handset imported glass tiles in the tub and shower surround are chic and lend a touch of class to the proceedings, while the heated tile floor is especially wonderful on cold mornings. The Shaker-style cabinetry continues in here, as well as in the main bathroom. That bathroom also includes its own oversized soaker tub and handset imported porcelain tiles as the tub and shower surround. “We have the lowest price per square foot in the area,” Paris says. “It’s great for everything that is included.” Currently doing presales for its ninth phase, Wills Creek has been very popular with buyers of all types. Paris says most of the people interested in this latest phase is downsizers, but she has also seen first-time buyers coming
