Anger over coal traffic
Patience runs out, by George Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
White Rock Elks members say they have been more than patient through disruptions over the past year associated with construction in the 1400-block of George Street. But when workers tore up the hall’s main driveway access Tuesday, effectively preventing any disabled members from coming in, and blocking the hall’s emergency exits, they drew the line. “Handicapped members can’t get into the building,” Tom Corless said, noting one member actually tripped on the debris Tuesday night. “The two emergency doors at the front, you can’t get out because it’s all dug up. “It’s just not acceptable… a mess.” The current work along the street got underway about 10 days ago. Site foreman Manuel Ferreira said it is to upgrade the sanitary system to handle the increased flow expected once the near-complete Avra tower is occupied; in about a week, the focus will be on upgrading stormsewer connections. Sidewalk and curb work is expected to get underway Dec. 21. But while Corless and Elks president Ray Francoeur said they and surrounding businesses should have been given a heads-up so they could notify members and post signage redirecting visitors, Ferreira insisted notice was provided. “The notice was given over a year ago that this was coming,” Ferreira said, adding a reminder was issued two weeks prior to the work’s start. › see page A4

Climate-change activists are vowing to fight plans to build a new coal export terminal on the Fraser River in Surrey and expand an existing one in North Vancouver. Fraser Surrey Docks has applied to build a terminal in Surrey that would bring in thermal coal from Wyoming via the BNSF railway that runs through White Rock, South Surrey and Delta. It proposes to export four million tonnes of coal a year initially, with potential to double that later. Meanwhile, North Van’s Neptune Terminals aims to increase exports of B.C.-mined metallurgical coal used in steelmaking, to 18 million tonnes from 12 million tonnes. To activists like Kevin Washbrook, of the group Voters Taking Action on Climate Change, it’s another case of B.C. becoming the outlet for fossil fuels that will be burned in Asia and warm the planet toward dangerously irreversible levels. “If these two plans go ahead, Metro Vancouver will be the largest exporter of coal in North America,” Washbrook said. That’s anathema to a city and region that prides itself on being green and sustainable, he said. An open letter was issued Wednesday opposing the export plans, with signatures from leading B.C. climate change experts Andrew Weaver and Marc Jaccard, as well as dozens of environmental groups and activists. They’re calling for a public review. But unlike plans for the Enbridge or Kinder Morgan oil pipelines, neither regulators nor politicians can stand in the way. › see page A4

not addressed the chronic underfunding of TransLink and, in particular, the need to expand services on this side of the river. Thus the lack of a bus stop in Surrey for the new 555 bus service. A bus stop at the 156 Street on- and off-ramps could easily be set up, as transit-advocate Daryl Dela Cruz has pointed out on his SkyTrain for Surrey website. Details of his plan can be seen at skytrainforsurrey.org However, common-sense solutions seem to evade TransLink. The transit authority continues to claim that Surrey and a private developer were going to establish a transit exchange at 156 Street, but the project fell through. Perhaps the above-noted recession had something to do with that. TransLink has continually shown a deafness to legitimate transit needs in Surrey and other parts of the South Fraser. It seems foolish to continue to be part of such a dysfunctional organization. Surrey, White Rock, the two Langleys and Delta would be further ahead in setting up their own transit-governance system, and then negotiating on crossborder services with a truncated TransLink. We need transit solutions that fit the needs of this fast-growing area. We don’t need more excuses. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

City of Surrey reaches out to neighbouring leaders for feedback
White Rock mum on nearby casino plan Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
When it comes to a proposal for a casino in South Surrey, there’s little White Rock officials can say that will make a difference, the city’s mayor said Monday. “It’s on their property, their land,” Wayne Baldwin told Peace Arch News shortly after council’s vote to simply receive Surrey’s request for comment. “They control it, we get nothing from it. We hope there’s some positive impact economically.” Comment from White Rock on a gaming licence application for the project – proposed as part of a development eyed
for 10 Avenue and 168 ❝It’s on their Street – is among missing property, their information noted by the land… we City of Surrey last week in announcing a delay in get nothing from it.❞ plans to discuss the appliWayne Baldwin cation. mayor It had been scheduled for discussion during Surrey council’s land-use meeting Nov. 26, but was bumped back to Dec. 10. In addition to White Rock’s comments, Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said the city is waiting for comment from the Township of Langley, and that more time is needed to review and analyze letters from residents
and other members of the public, and to “consider the comments that have been received from the Semiahmoo First Nation.” As well, they need to review a socio-economic impact study by the B.C. Lottery Corporation and a finalized traffic-impact study. At the start of White Rock’s Nov. 26 council meeting, SFN councillor Joanne Charles appealed to the seven politicians to consider the band’s concerns in any comments that do go forward. Those concerns have been taken to the premier, she noted.
“We did address the premier with regards to our situation,” Charles said. “Nobody has engaged with us with regard to consultation. I would just ask that you consider that.” Baldwin told PAN there would have been more to comment on had the casino been proposed for a site closer to the city’s boundaries, for example, along 16 Avenue. At its closest, the proposed project would be eight blocks east of White Rock, just past Highway 99. While opponents have cited concern with the potential for crime and social problems, Baldwin said such issues are Surrey’s to deal with.
Film explores adoption
Filibuster over bill

he scene is full of such raw emotion, the documentary’s director wonders aloud if she should stop filming. No, a teenager cries, flinging all of her belongings on the bed as she prepares to head into the world feeling very much alone. She wants everyone to hear her story, feel her pain. This moment is a torrential release of emotions that have been swirling inside a home in Sullivan for the past five years — and the emotions of the audience as they watch Julia Ivanova’s remarkable documentary about a couple who bravely takes on the challenge of adopting five siblings from the Ukraine. In High Five, which debuts Tuesday on Knowledge Network, Cathy and Martin Ward may not have realized what they were taking on when they agreed to not only adopt the children but allow Ivanova to film the experience. But open up their lives to such joy and conflict they did. And since their story becomes the audience’s through the watching of the film, it’s difficult not to feel touched by what happens. After Cathy was seriously injured in a car accident, she and Martin decided not to risk pregnancy. Married for several years, the two nurses start the process of adopting a young girl from a Ukraine orphanage. Then they find out she had a sister. That’s fine, they say to themselves, as Ivanova films them arriving to meet Snezhana and Alyona. Then the Wards find out the girls have four other siblings – an older half-brother and halfsister and a younger brother and sister. The youngest sister had been adopted as a baby, but the three other children need a home. It takes a few years, but eventually the five siblings are living together again as a family, this time in Canadian suburbia. Any story about children in an orphanage has to have deep sadness in its origins. Theirs is told by the eldest, Yuliya and Sergei. Their father died and their mother married an abusive drunk. The children tried to find safe refuge, but eventually the tales of violence and abuse became known. When the authorities took away the four youngest children, their father blamed his two stepchildren. He beat Yuliya so violently she had to be hospitalized. Yuliya became both caregiver and protector to her siblings. She absorbed the violence, and then the repercussions of their abandonment, as a way of protecting the others. But when Yuliya finally joins her younger siblings in Canada, she finds they have a new
MP Russ Hiebert said “desperation tactics” by NDP members trying to thwart discussion this week of amendments proposed for Bill C-377 haven’t swayed his determination to see unions held more accountable financially. “I’m not stopping,” Hiebert told Peace Arch News from Ottawa Tuesday. “If anything, this has increased my resolve to get this bill through.” Hiebert introduced the private member’s bill more than a year ago, arguing it will increase the transparency and accountability of unions. Opponents have described the bill as unconstitutional and an invasion of privacy – “so badly flawed it should be withdrawn rather than amended.” Amendments that Hiebert said would address those concerns were to be discussed by the finance committee Monday, and Hiebert said he was confident the majority of committee members would have voted in their favour, given the chance. NDP members, however, “hijacked the finance committee to prevent these amendments from going forward,” he said. “In light of what happened… with the NDP speaking non-stop for two hours, it prevented any votes on the amendments I had proposed to make the bill even better.” Newton-North Delta NDP MP Jinny Simms defended the move. NDP committee members simply used one of the few tools the Opposition has left “to stop a very bad bill” – a filibuster. While Simms didn’t participate, she said the filibuster sends a message that “this government is misusing its majority to ram through an agenda and legislation that we feel is fundamentally flawed, and then they get upset when we use one of the few tools available to us.” Hiebert said he must now persuade the Speaker that he was prevented from bringing forward his amendments and should be given that opportunity before the entire House of Commons.

Cathy and Martin Ward with their five children: Yuliya, Ayona, Snezhana, Sasha and Sergei. mother, one who they readily accept. In doing so, they no longer need Yuliya. Here in Canada, their new mother and father can offer them so much more – a secure home, food on the table, camping trips to the Okanagan, beautiful graduation dresses… In the most heart-wrenching scenes, Yuliya is emotionally abandoned by her siblings who are too young to be aware of their actions’ impact. The Wards are also making tremendous sacrifices. Wanting to adopt one child, they are now a family of seven. The adoption process cost them about $200,000 on top of all the expenses of caring for five children. Cathy gets some disability income, but the financial burden falls on Martin’s shoulders. It’s a burden he accepts with inborn stoicism and pride, even when it means having to work in the Arctic for four weeks out of every six. So many forces are at play. There are the natural dynamics between siblings, dynamics that can be wrought with turmoil just on their own, especially as they age and start to assert their personalities. What sisters don’t fight? There’s the wrench of being taken from the land of your birth and being thrown into a world, albeit with gratitude, where everything, especially the language, is an unknown. And there’s the relation between husband and wife, when the demands of parenthood eat into the energy they have for one another. That’s why, as a director, Ivanova avoids judgment. She, with an insightful and subtle touch, simply lets you watch. “My goal was not to sensationalize but to show the complexity of family relationships.”
Ivanova has been transfixed by the subject of adoption ever since it was her job to help facilitate the adoption of children from the former Soviet Union. She did an earlier “very Christmassy” adoption story called From Russia, For Love, but 10 years later, feeling better about her skills as a director, she wanted to tackle such a story again. “When I started,” she says, “it was a feelgood story about a family fighting to adopt five children.” Then, in reference to one of the final scenes, when Yuliya, who is now 20, packs her bags to move out, Ivanova adds, “No one expects that a child you fought so hard to adopt would want to leave, but it happens…” High Five must have an ending, but the Ward family’s story is still unfolding. As eager as the audience will be to know the outcome, the camera has been turned off after five years of filming. One can only hope. There is much love in that house. There also must be admiration for what each and every one of them has taken on – Cathy and Martin Ward and the five siblings who are forging a new life together. One could say the Wards were naive about what lay ahead when they adopted five children, says Ivanova, but one also has to praise them – and others like them. “If it wasn’t for their naivety, all these children would stay in the orphanages,” she says. “Because of this naivety, great things are happening in the world.” • • • High Five has its TV premiere on Knowledge Network Dec. 4 at 9 p.m. and Dec. 5 at 12 a.m.

More information needed, says Delta mayor › from page A1 The proposals will both be decided by Port Metro Vancouver managers with no formal public meetings – voluntary or otherwise – or approvals by other agencies. “This is a crazy idea,” Washbrook said, adding Metro Vancouver coal exports may soon add more carbon to the atmosphere than all the oil that would be exported through Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline. “This is an issue of international importance and it can’t be decided by a handful of staff at the port.” The Fraser Surrey Docks
plan would see coal loaded onto barges, which would then sail to Texada Island for transfer to deep-sea freighters. The issue of coal trains running along White Rock’s waterfront was highlighted earlier this year, when opponents of the practice staged an act of “peaceful civil disobedience.” The May protest cost the city $18,000 in policing expenses, and ended with the arrest of 13. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said she’s “very concerned” about the proposal. Coal already rolls on BNSF tracks through Tsawwassen to Westshore Terminals’ export
facility, but Jackson said she’d want information before more coal trains get the green light. “I would have to have a lot more convincing that we would have no byproduct or coal dust emanating from those trains.” The two proposals would increase Port Metro Vancouver coal exports from 40 million to 54 million tonnes per year. Port Metro Vancouver director of planning and development Jim Crandles said civic zoning doesn’t apply but the applications have been referred to Surrey and North Vancouver for comment, and Delta, New Westminster and nearby
residents have been notified. Crandles said the port is doing a technical review that will consider environmental and local issues, but not potential climate-change implications. Eric de Place, a researcher with Seattle-based Sightline Institute, described the Fraser Surrey Docks plan as “a terrible idea.” He noted a “gargantuan” 48-million-tonne coal terminal has been proposed at Cherry Point, Wash., just south of White Rock. Crandles expects decisions by year end for Neptune’s application and early in the new year for Fraser Surrey Docks.

Low inflation, but taxes rise
M
any people wonder why they have such perpetual empty pockets. There is minimal price inflation, interest rates are low, yet at the end of most weeks, there is little left over for extras. There are several possible explanations, and one of them may surprise some people. It has been suggested by some that more people need to be financially literate, and while that may be true, it is only a part of the puzzle. A lack of wage growth for most working people, other than government workers, is another part of the puzzle, but again it only explains a portion of the problem. Perhaps the missing link in the puzzle, which isn’t properly explained, is just how inflation is calculated. According to the Bank of Canada, the official inflation rate is based on a basket of consumer goods, including food, shelter, furniture, clothing, transportation and recreation. The federal government has been keeping track of prices on that basis since 1914. The first real inflation in Canada took place during the First World War, when prices rose to higher levels because of wartime shortages. Canadians were hit brutally by inflation in the 1970s and 1980s. At one time, interest rates were more than 20 per cent – and inflation was close to 14 per cent annually. Those days are long past us now. Inflation has been at low rates for years, and interest rates are much the same. As a result, people have borrowed more money than ever – much of it to buy homes. Nowhere is that more true than in the Lower Mainland. Interest costs are thus draining a good portion of peoples’ incomes. But the fact that inflation isn’t being calculated on some of our costs may be an even bigger factor behind our empty pockets. Low official inflation rates mean employers don’t feel the need to give wage increases and governments feel there is plenty of taxing room. Taxes are not considered inflationary. Thus steady jumps in medical service premiums in B.C. are of no consequence. Nor was the HST, which added tax to many items that formerly only had the GST applied. TransLink’s boost to the gas tax isn’t considered inflationary. Nor is the carbon tax. In recent years, the biggest contributors to our empty wallets are governments. But they get away with it, because there’s minimal “inflation.”

Gentlemen, why do we put up with this? Think about it… Let’s take a narrow length of cloth, and wrap it around our throats. Yes, put a knot in it so it has a death-grip on your larynx. And not just any knot – a special square, flat pattern that requires countless hours in front of a mirror to learn. Some will never quite get it, and they will look like uncultured clods. Each one of these chunks of cloth will cost you about $50, and you’ll need at least a dozen so you can change colours every day. And they’ll go out of style every so often, so you’ll have to invest in longer, wider and shorter, and big stripes versus thin stripes. Purpose? None, really. We just voluntarily garrot ourselves in the morning and stay that way all day. Madness you say? Well, who’s tolerating this? What if crazy Louis had spotted soldiers frolicking about with garlands of ostrich feathers around their mid-riffs? Would that be accepted with similar male stoicism spanning centuries? Why do we do such penance? The tie offers no redemption from real or imagined sins. It teaches no lessons. It symbolizes no devotion other than that of conformity. Men of the world! Rise up! Cast the yokes from your throats! Untie yourselves! Andrew Holota is the editor of the Abbotsford News.

Right side goes horribly wrong An open letter to South SurreyWhite Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert. I recently returned home from a vacation, which accounts for the delay in responding to your Remembrance Day survey regarding our veterans. I have always been a supporter of the right wing, be it the old PCs, Reform, Alliance or now the Conservative Party of Canada. The treatment of our recent veterans by your government is disgusting and pathetic. The reports that disability pensions have been replaced by meager one-time payouts sickens me. I am not in any way connected to and have never served in our armed forces; I do salute and honour those that have. Then you have the audacity to think you and your caucus are doing a “great job?” Give me a break. This could be the single issue that will make me, after 50-plus years of supporting the conservatives, look for an alternative for my vote and financial support. Kip Leith, Surrey
Growth doesn’t have to be ugly An open letter to civic politicians. Growth in White Rock and South Surrey appears inevitable. I’ve accepted that. Before approving any development, consider its attractiveness to compensate us for the loss of views of Mount Baker, old gracious trees, sky and water. We end up looking at cement structures and large wooden boxes with peepholes. P. Tays, White Rock
Isn’t all smoke created equal? Editor: The media has reported that a great number of citizens of this province are in favour of legalizing the use of marijuana. I am rather ‘sitting on the fence’ regarding this matter, because I have little knowledge of the pros and cons on this subject . One thing I can’t understand, though. People are constantly being advised to kick the cigarette habit because of the damage to the lungs from smoke. Therefore, why should marijuana be made legal, since it, too, elicits smoking and therefore polluting the air and perhaps even harming others from second-hand smoke? Smoke is smoke, isn’t it, no matter what one is smoking ? M. Downey, White Rock

Letter-writer Laurie Hepworth opposes a planned South Surrey casino, noting the area is home to wild animals.
Non-casino wildlife preferred Editor: Re: ‘Rhetoric and misinformation’ mar debate, Nov. 20 letters. Here are more facts from the socioeconomic impact research study commissioned by the B.C. government to assess the impacts of gambling between 2004 and 2006 in Surrey and three other Lower Mainland communities. Blue Thorn Research and Analysis Group found almost 60 per cent of Surrey residents believed the harms of gambling outweighed the benefit; these negative attitudes increased significantly over the three-year period. The research showed that a substantial portion of regular gamblers – 24 out of 96 surveyed – were problem gamblers. It also found that there was no statistically identifiable increase in overall community employment. City planners interviewed at that time expressed some concern about an “over-saturation of the market.” In concluding comments, the report emphasized that “while gambling almost always constitutes a transfer rather than a creation of wealth, it is a transfer that has the potential to create social problems.” Hugh Rothe, Surrey n Clearly our politicians and planners have made a choice: gamblers are more important than neighbourhoods. They’ve chosen cars, congestion and density, ignoring all transit policies in an area destitute of any public transit. Isn’t transit supposed to go lockstep with any development plans in Surrey and the region? Note that comparable facilities to the proposed South Surrey casino are adjacent to transit – River Rock comes to mind. Why are planners hell-bent on covering this part of South Surrey in parking lots? Even Las Vegas is set in the middle of the desert. Shame on anyone for endorsing this location. Surely there are more sensible places to build this kind of edifice. Brad Smith, Surrey n I live off of 168 Street in South Surrey, about one block from the proposed casino/hotel site. I am against this development. This project will impact the wildlife in the area. I sent you a photograph (above) of deer in my front yard and across the street. I walk through here every day and see the salmon are spawning in the creek along 168 Street. Not only do the deer come through my yard and the area, but I also see raccoons, rabbits, coyotes, herons and birds of prey. Laurie Hepworth, Surrey n BCLC executive Jim Lightbody and Gateway Casino lawyer James Chen assured us Nov. 14 at the Pacific Inn that crime is not a problem at casinos, and they tell us neighbourhoods near their casinos have low crime rates. Just for fun, we checked the facts. Here’s what we found: Casinos are a crime magnet, according to the RCMP
and Vancouver Police Department. Crime reports increased by four times in the neighbourhood, once the River Rock Casino was built in Richmond. In the first six months of 2003, RCMP received 32 calls from the small Bridgeport casino. In comparison, once the larger River Rock Casino was built, during the first six months of 2006 the Mounties received 137 calls from River Rock. Calls included: impaired driving; disturbing the peace; uttering threats; fraud; assault and cocaine possession. Google news articles documenting crime that occurs around casinos in places like Richmond and Vancouver. I do not know where the people from BCLC and Gateway do their research, but perhaps they need to do a little bit more. And if their research in this area is incomplete, how accurate can the rest of their claims be? Scott Kristjanson, White Rock n The fact is, casinos are exploiting the often-debilitating weaknesses of many of its consumers – especially those suffering with OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) – almost to the point of appalling callousness. There is post-secondary psychology literature that states gamblers purposely, though unconsciously, play and lose money on games of chance and then kick themselves around the proverbial block afterwards just to mentally punish themselves. Sadly, it’s a form of psychological masochism. Frank G. Sterle, Jr., White Rock n I am not excited by the prospect of having gamblers as future neighbours in South Surrey. This is certainly not the right place for a monstrous entertainment centre. It seems many people do not particularly appreciate the green and quiet environment of South Surrey. They are looking for more excitement perhaps, because golf courses, parks and the beach are clearly not enough. I’ll admit South Surrey is not the best place for entertainment if you are looking for amusements parks and huge shopping malls, but I certainly do enjoy living here. It is a residential area after all. A fancy casino is only going to disturb our peaceful lives with the inflow of gamblers. Why don’t we have a say in this? The proponents of the casino project have been too busy promoting the facility’s potential to generate an annual revenue of $6 million that could be invested in the city’s infrastructure construction. They talk about the possible jobs that this business would create. This sure sounds like lucrative business. The promise of economic benefits is the attractive bait that Gateway and BCLC are casting. I am sure there are better and less controversial ways to raise some funds for the city’s road-improvement plans. I hope this proposal gets permanently shelved. Susie Zhang, Surrey

Towel-clad suspect faces charges Note to prospective thieves: wearing a towel while trying car door handles late at night will likely catch someone’s attention. Such was the case last week, when White Rock police were called to investigate a suspicious person matching just such a description in the 13600-block of Malabar Avenue. The call came in just after 11 p.m. Nov. 21. Police who responded located a
towel-wearing suspect in a nearby convenience store. Const. Janelle Shoihet said the man, who was fully dressed, told police he had the towel because he was on the way to the pool. Michael Reeves, a 34-year-old Surrey man, is facing charges of theft, possession of stolen property and possession of break-in instruments. He remains in custody. – Tracy Holmes

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Semiahmoo society hopes to expand in 2014
Moulding a new future Dan Ferguson
T
Staff Reporter
he two kilns at the Semiahmoo Potters studio have been running practically around the clock for the last few weeks, as the artists in the nonprofit society prepare for their annual Christmas sale on Dec. 1 and 2. On Tuesday, Nov. 13, inside the small former bungalow at King George Boulevard and 156 Street that is the society’s current home, Gabriella Kardosi was applying the finishing touches to a red clay bowl on a potter’s wheel in one room, while Patricia Jahnke, a retired UBC chemist and past president of the society sorted through the custom-made glazes used to colour the clay objects before they are baked into ceramic by the kilns. Kardosi, a computer-literate graphic artist who recently discovered pottery, has been a member for about a year. “It’s very tactile,” Kardosi said, speaking as she made precise adjustments to the rotating bowl. “I love to work with it.” The November run-up to the Christmas sale is an especially busy time for the potters. Jahnke says the kilns have been going “flat-out” and the shelves are packed with cups, bowls and other customs pieces.
The Semiahmoo Potters started as a club of 11 people who were taking pottery classes at the Community Arts Council in White Rock in 1994. Jahnke, a member since day one, credits the late Ruth Neville as a driving force behind the founding of the original club. The club’s first home was White Rock Elementary. In 2000, the school district needed the space and the club was forced to find a new home. The potters’ club became a registered non-profit society in 2006. It had to move again in 2008 to its current premises, a donated house on land belonging to well-known BC potter Don Hutchinson. Plans are in the works to relocate the society to a permanent studio inside an expanded South Surrey Recreation Centre in January 2014. It will be a larger space that will allow the society to grow beyond its current maximum of 36 members. “We’ve always had a waiting list,” Jahnke said. The annual Semiahmoo Potters’ sale will take place Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Ocean Park Community Hall, 1577 128 St. For more information about the society and the sale, visit www. semiahmoopotters.com

Parade benefits food bank and Surrey Christmas Bureau
Rigs light up for holidays The third annual Central City Big Rigs for Kids, also known as the Lighted Truck Parade, will wind its way through the streets of Surrey this weekend. This year, the trucks will leave Cloverdale around 5:45 p.m. Sunday, travel along Highway 10 to King George Boulevard, and then head north to Old Yale Road, where they will park. The trucks are expected to go by the Newton viewing area (Save-On-Foods at 73 Avenue and King George Boulevard) between 6:10-6:20 p.m. and arrive at Holland Park (13428 Old Yale Road) by 6:40 p.m. Spectators are encouraged to vote for their favourite trucks by donating loonies into the containers located by each truck. The fan favourite will be awarded a trophy. All donations will be going towards the Surrey Food Bank and Surrey Christmas Bureau, and both organizations will be on-site to collect canned food and toys. The North Surrey Lions Club will be selling hot chocolate and
to our friend and colleague
Greg Long 1952 - 2012 It is with sadness that we say goodbye to our friend and colleague Greg Long. As Hugh & McKinnon’s managing partner and owner for 22 years, he will be greatly missed by all who had the good fortune of working with him. His wit, work ethic and incredible business acumen brought a level of respect and admiration from those in the Real Estate and Development industry. With his leadership, the company undertook projects in the Okanagan, Vancouver Island and Langley with great success for all involved. Born in 1952 and raised in White Rock, Greg gave back to the community by sponsoring many community groups, sports teams and individuals during his lifetime. He was a truly outstanding individual.

Pumpkin Run raises $100,000 The month of October brought an outpouring of support for the Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation. Participants in the foundation’s annual Pumpkin Run and Walk on Oct. 21 raised more than $100,000 for Peace Arch Hospital’s emergency room, surpassing their initial goal of $80,000. The run also received a financial boost from local businesses, such as McJac’s Roadhouse
Grille and the White Rock and Morgan Crossing White Spots, which donated 50 cents from every bill to the foundation, bringing in more than $3,000. The support carried through past October, with a gift of $3,000 from the Pacific Open Heart Association on Nov. 20. The funds will go towards the purchase of a sleeper chair, which allows patients visitors to be bedside during a hospital stay.

uestion: I started dating a man about a year ago and moved in with him about six months ago. I have always been a regarded as very attractive and I have had my choice of men in my lifetime and I therefore have not taken any steps to make sure that I am secure in my older years. I therefore have no assets except very good looks and great personality. I have been pressing my man to marry me because I understand that if we become married I will own half his assets as long as I stay with him for a reasonable period of time. I’m right aren’t I? nswer: you are right for the time being, but you are wrong if the proposed family law legislation is passed on March 18, 2013. That legislation is a sea change from the 1978 legislation, and if you divorce your proposed husband gets to keep the assets that he brought into the marriage.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING - MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2012
Work set to begin at site of replica ‘Cloverdale Station’
On track to break ground Jennifer Lang
Liquor Primary License
Black Press
Cloverdale’s heritage rail revival is moving along rapidly, with plans to launch weekend passenger service next spring well underway. Construction on a replica electric railway station is already beginning. Since moving operations from Sullivan to Cloverdale three months ago, the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society’s project has sparked the public’s imagination, with new members signing up and dozens more coming forward to volunteer as conductors, operators, ticket masters and maintenance crew. Using volunteers, the society plans to launch passenger operations out of Cloverdale on the May long weekend – when thousands will be in town for the Cloverdale Rodeo. Passenger service is to operate weekends between Cloverdale and Sullivan Station at 152 Street and 64 Avenue, where there’s already a replica station. And right on schedule, a crew is beginning excavating the site at 5554 176 Street in preparation for the imminent start of construction on Cloverdale Station. The replica BC Electric Railway station is being built using the original blueprints and plans, and the society has hopes the building will be more than just walls, a roof and a platform by the time the passenger runs are launched. Society secretary Allen Aubert says there are more than 300 active memberships – many of them seniors with the expertise and experience needed to refurbish the old electric rail cars. Now, the society is reaching out to volunteer tradespeople, such as carpenters who do fine woodwork and suppliers willing
The Council of the City of Surrey will hold a Public Information Meeting in the form of a Public Hearing pursuant to the provisions of the Local Government Act, in the Council Chamber at City Hall, 14245 - 56 Avenue, Surrey, BC, on Monday, December 10, 2012, commencing at 7:00 p.m.
Application 7912-0278-00 CIVIC ADDRESS: 5814 – 176A Street APPLICANT: Daniel Fehr and Maria Linsenmeier H.O.S.T. Consulting Ltd. (Rick Erdman) #202, 14888 – 104 Avenue Surrey, BC V3R 1M4 PROPOSAL: To acquire a Liquor Primary License to permit liquor service in approximately 90 square metres (980 sq. ft.) of the existing concourse area at Clover Lanes Bowling Centre with the liquor service hours of 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight every day of the week. The City Council wishes to determine whether or not residents are in favour of the Liquor Primary License. DEVELOPMENT LOCATION MAP

to donate the extras like wooden shingles to the project. “This project is the People’s Railway, because it’s all done by volunteers,” Aubert says. The project got a boost from RDM Enterprises, a familyrun operation that’s providing excavating services, and Seagate Structures Ltd., which has climbed aboard as construction managers, helping the society close the gap on a $1.5 million fundraising goal for Cloverdale Station. The replica 1909 station will have two rooms – one to house artifacts from the Surrey Museum; the other a waiting room that will do doubleduty as a location for heritage programming in the off-season from October to mid-May. If donors don’t come forth, the station will still be built, but it won’t be complete; it won’t have heritage-style windows or doors, and the interiors won’t be finished. “We’ve got enough resources to make a start,” Aubert said.
“The building will go up.” A wish list of trades and materials is presently being drawn up. Meantime, the society’s move to Cloverdale is more or less complete. “We’re getting a lot more young people interested,” FVHRS chair John Sprung told members of the Surrey Heritage Society last month. “There’s a history to this area and they want to know more about it.” The society believes tourists and rail buffs will be attracted by the prospect of riding the original cars on the original BC Electric Interurban line, 60 years after the last Interurban passed through Surrey. The goal is to get passenger service to Sullivan this spring, but it’s not the end of the journey. Sprung, in speaking with the Surrey Heritage Society, said the FVHRS wants to one day extend the service all the way to the Skytrain station at Scott Road.
City Council is holding a Public Information Meeting in the form of a Public Hearing to determine the residents’ opinions on this Liquor Primary License application. You are invited to the Public Hearing to convey your opinion to Council. If you do not wish to speak, you are encouraged to register your opinion with staff outside of the Council Chamber on the night of the Public Hearing. If you are unable to attend the Public Hearing, you may submit a letter through the City Clerk’s Department expressing your opinion for Council’s consideration. Please fax to 604-591-8731, email clerks@surrey.ca, or submit in writing to the City Clerk by 4:00 p.m., Monday, December 10, 2012. FURTHER Additional information may be obtained from INFORMATION: Planning & Development at 604-591-4441. Copies of supporting staff reports and any relevant background documentation may be inspected at the City Hall, Monday through Friday (except statutory holidays) between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., from Tuesday, November 27, 2012 to Monday, December 10, 2012.

Talent show aims to boost awareness of bullying
‘Lighting’ a brighter future Sarah Massah Staff Reporter
When Lisa Xie thinks about the evolution of bullying, it reminds her a lot of the way a war can begin between two countries. A small conflict, left unresolved, continues to fester and grow, until something happens and it explodes, causing pain and sometimes, even death. “If we could stop these conflicts at their roots, maybe they wouldn’t build up so much,” she said. Xie’s desire to help prevent the spread of bullying led her to join Kids Help Phone in May of this year, but following the death of 15-year-old Port Coquitlam teen Amanda Todd in early October, Xie and her fellow White Rock and Surrey Ambassadors decided to take it another step with the creation of the Lighthouse Talent show. “After she took her life because of being bullied, we thought we would call it Lighthouse because it symbolizes everyone coming together and lighting the future of a kid,” Xie said. The show will include performers from all over the Surrey and White Rock area who will show off their talents Dec. 8 at Star of the Sea hall, 15262 Pacific Ave. White Rock country singersongwriters Alanna and Brianne

Lisa Xie (second from left) and her fellow White Rock and Surrey Ambassadors hold up the poster for the Lighthouse Talent Show. Finn-Morris are set to perform Wounded Angel, a song they wrote and dedicated to Amanda Todd. Proceeds from the talent show will benefit Kids Help Phone, which provides 24-hour toll-free phone counselling services to children aged five to 21. Xie, a Semiahmoo Secondary student who has been the victim of bullying herself in the past, said that while Todd’s home in Port Coquitlam may be some distance away from where she lives, the story reverberated throughout her community and with friends. “Even though it’s far from here, we still heard about it through
Facebook, which is ironic as that is where Todd and other people get bullied. I thought that just by going on Facebook and spreading awareness about bullying we could help more kids, wherever they were,” Xie said. Xie said she also hoped that the talent show will help more people find out about Kids Help Phone and encourage those in need to utilize their services.

Seven-year-old to launch Lightup 2012 at the Lagerstrom family Christmas display
Lighting up fight against childhood cancer Boaz Joseph
G
Black Press
age Staley knows what he wants from Santa this Christmas: a camera. A bit shy at first with a visitor talking to his mom, Krystie, the seven-year-old becomes interested in a second flash unit going off on his couch during a family portrait session, and he asks how it works. “He’s so smart, it’s crazy,” say Krystie, relaxing at her Surrey home after spending the week with her son at B.C. Children’s Hospital. He is indeed ahead of the curve academically, being in Grade 2 and keeping up with his grades, despite being in and out of the hospital, battling cancer since the age of three. He’s undergone multiple surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation, all sprinkled with increasingly short-lived remissions of Stage 3 neuroblastoma. His mother recites the drama over just the past couple of years: remission, relapse, remission, relapse… And Gage takes one form of medicine or another every day. Early on, tumors on his spine even resulted in paralysis and, following major surgery, Gage underwent a year of physiotherapy to learn to walk again. Last summer, while he was doing better,
Gage returned beaming from a one-week stay at the Canadian Cancer Society’s Camp Goodtimes, a medically supervised recreational facility for children with cancer and their families, located in the mountains north of Maple Ridge. Kyrstie beams at what the experience has given Gage. “Nobody feels different there. Everybody knows what the kids are going through.” All he talked about when he returned to his home in Clayton Heights was how he wanted to become a “Leader-in-Training” on his next visit, hopefully next summer, Kyrstie said. Gage will also give back this Saturday at an annual – and bright – Surrey fundraiser for Camp Goodtimes. He’ll flip a switch and turn on 25,000 Christmas lights at the Lagerstrom family’s Lightup 2012 display at 15466 91A Ave. “To date, we have raised over $25,000 for them,” says Dan Lagerstrom, who has built increasingly elaborate displays since 2005. Lagerstrom was a mild-mannered townhome owner until he and wife Cindy and son Kyle bought a house in Fleetwood 10 years ago. “I’m sure this all started because we lived in a townhouse for way too long,” he writes on his website, www.lightup.ca. “The possibility to decorate outside was just not there.

The Lagerstrom family light display raises money for Camp Goodtimes. On Saturday, the lights will be switched on by Gage Staley (left, with mom, Krystie).

Parody of play set to open Dec. 9 at Surrey Arts Centre
Phantom panto ‘has something for all ages’ Alex Browne
G
Arts Reporter
aston Leroux, original author of The Phantom of the Opera, might be turning in his grave. And Baron Lloyd-Webber, who spawned the musical adaptation that became a worldwide phenomenon, would be forgiven for emitting a few falsetto notes of alarm. Regardless, Fraser Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society’s latest pantomime – The Phantom of the Panto – has hit the boards of the Surrey Arts Centre mainstage until Dec. 9. Opening yesterday (Wednesday) and following on last year’s hit version of Beauty and the Beast (the CTC award-winner for best musical or pantomime production), the new show has the additional advantage of being an original from the society fold. It’s written by regular FVGSS performer Clive ‘Hitman’ Ramroop, whose audacious inspiration is to take the framework of the famous story, adapted many times since it first appeared in 1911, and rework it in broad ❝It has things that ‘panto’ style. And everyone, from according the oldest to the to Tom youngest people in Cleevely, the audience, will who stars as the appreciate.❞ Phantom, Chelsea Rose Tucker and Chelsea Rose Tucker, who plays Christine, the object of his obsession, the result is a very funny spoof that still fulfils all the family-friendly requirements of Christmas-season entertainment. “It’s a hilarious show, and so much fun to do,” said Tucker, who added she has come to terms with the humorous melodramatics and confusion of her character, a sweet young singer who is trained and guided behind the scenes by the compelling, if frightening, presence of the Phantom. “She’s a very positive person, if just a little bit terrified,” she said. “At first, I found I was playing her much too seriously after doing regular musicals.” For the ambitious, up-andcoming musical theatre performer, Phantom is a serendipitous opportunity to revisit her roots with FVGSS, after studying

Tom Cleevely will play the phantom in Fraser Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society’s parody of the famous play. classical voice at UVic and musical theatre at the Canadian College of Performing Arts, and playing major roles for the Victoria Operatic Society and in Fighting Chance’s hit Vancouver production version of Rent this summer. “I was either 12 or 13 when I first
went out for a FVGSS show – my dad (Tim Tucker, musical director of Phantom) and I were both in the chorus of Pajama Game,” she said. Subsequent parts for FVGSS included plum panto roles as Jill in Little Red Riding Hood, and the principal boy in Robinson Crusoe.
“The most fun part of Phantom is the relatability,” she said. “A lot of pantos in the past have been existing scripts from England, and we’ve had to change all the jokes because they wouldn’t be understood by the audience. But because this is written by one
of our own, it has things that everyone, from the oldest to the youngest people in the audience, will appreciate, and all the characters are fun.” Cleevely, a Douglas Collegetrained singer-songwriter who plays both piano and guitar, also has considerable stage experience, including roles in The Music Man, in Victoria, Biloxi Blues in Langley and a part in an earlier FVGSS production of The Mikado. According to Tucker, he not only possesses a fabulous voice – he’s also “hilarious” as the Phantom. “This Phantom is a little bit petulant,” Cleevely acknowledged. “When things don’t go his way he gets kind of whiny. “This is my first panto,” he added. “It’s a bit of a different vehicle, a lot more open, a lot more audience participation. I’m used to doing more structured shows.” But he recognizes that Phantom, first and foremost, works as a parody. “There are moments of powerful seriousness, but they’re usually presented as the set-up for some kind of gag,” he said. Cleevely also noted that while one of Lloyd-Webber’s classic songs has been retained, in typical panto fashion the score consists of a wide variety of popular material “repurposed” for the needs of the show. In addition to Cleevely and Tucker, the show features a handpicked group of accomplished and reliable entertainers, including Jeff Christiansen (as dame Carlotta Ferrari), James Walker and Samantha Andrews as theatre owner-managers Andre Jyne and Firmin Full, Jackie Block (as Meg Nolia) and Joni HaydenSummerton (as principal boy Raoul). Another indicator of quality is the same creative team who delivered on Beauty and the Beast – artistic director Mike Balser, Tucker, choreographer Carol Seitz and – providing genial overall supervision – producer Reginald Pillay. Also featured in a large and predominantly young cast are Jake Hildebrand (Joe Bouquet DeFleur), Adrian Duncan (Punchy Ferrari), Jerret Schwartz (The Skull) and Frannie Warwick (Trappe). Evening performances are at 7:30 p.m. For ticket information, call 604-501-5566 or visit http://tickets. surrey.ca/

Explore nature in Surrey this fall! Grab your rain jacket and rubber boots, and head to one of Surrey’s many parks to enjoy autumn.
Bear Creek Park 13750 – 88th Ave
Salmon return each fall to spawn in Bear Creek Park’s two salmon-bearing streams. Look for them splashing through the shallows as they swim upstream. After spawning, they will die, providing food for other animals. Keep your eyes out for eagles feasting on the remains!
Surrey Nature Centre at Green Timbers 14255 – 96th Ave
Wildlife is abundant in the Green Timbers arboretum, and everyone’s preparing for winter. Bundle up and settle in; if you’re quiet and patient, you may see curious barred owls, clever coyotes, busy Douglas squirrels, and many different songbirds.
Redwood Park 17900 – 20th Ave
Blackie Spit Park and Mud Bay Park 3136 McBride Ave and 13030 – 48th Ave
Hundreds of thousands of migratory birds stop at Surrey’s shoreline parks to rest and refuel before continuing south for the winter. Visit Blackie Spit Park or Mud Bay Park, both part of the Boundary Bay “Important Bird Area”, to see what all the fuss is about.
www.surrey.ca/parks
This park started out as a private collection of trees in 1893. Now a public park and arboretum, you can enjoy over 50 species of trees, both native and exotic. The deciduous trees put on a show each fall as they shed their leaves to prepare for the winter ahead. Visit Redwood to see the last of this colourful display.

Dear Rouge takes home $100K Andrew (“Drew”) and Danielle McTaggart – the married couple that make up the synth-pop band Dear Rouge – were feeling a little flush last Friday. Dear Rouge won 102.7 FM’s Peak Performance Project contest the night before, beating out hundreds of other bands and taking home the whopping $100,000 top prize. But it wasn’t just the cash that got Drew McTaggart excited. “It was my childhood dream to play the Commodore,” he said Friday morning, still jazzed about the performance. Dear Rouge was the headline act at the iconic Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver Nov. 22, during the finale for the music competition, which was hosted by radio station The Peak 102.7 FM and Music BC. It was only the sixth time the band had played a live show together as Dear Rouge. Vancouver singer-songwriters Jordan Klassen and Dominique Fricot won second and third places and cash awards of $75,000 and $50,000 respectively. The husband-and-wife duo Dear Rouge, backed up by musicians Adam Stewart (keyboard, guitar), Maclean Carlson (drums), and Ryan Worsley (bass), have collaborated for just a few years after previously working on their own independent music projects. (The band’s name comes from

Drew says winning the Peak Performance Project is a gamechanger. “2013 is going to be a huge year,” he predicted, with Dear Rouge heading back to the studio and out on the road for more exposure. With a solid Metro Vancouver following on the horizon, the next markets to tackle include Toronto and Montreal. “I really want to make a pop song that’s creative,” said Drew, citing David Bowie and The Beatles as examples. For now, the two musicians aren’t quitting their day jobs.

Surrey artist and author Ernie Faessler releases new book
Penning pioneer tales
proudly presents its annual family panto
Sheila Reynolds Black Press
It’s been 3½ 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 razorsharp memory and others are as they were told to him by 3friends. 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 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 man and saving his life. “All these stories… I was at those places when they happened,” he says. “I was at a very young,

Ernie Faessler shows his latest book, Incredible Pioneer Stories. impressionable age.” Another story, One Last Gift, tells of a man who contacted Faessler after a story about him ran in the Surrey 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 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 nurse to take the painting from the wall. He died holding it. 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. Incredible Pioneer Stories is available for purchase at Black Bond locations in Surrey and Langley.

Luc Bruchet (#436) slogs through the mud during crosscountry nationals last weekend.
Bruchet finishes 5th South Surrey runner Luc Bruchet stunned many in the field at Canadian Cross-Country Championships last weekend, finishing fifth in the senior men’s race at Vancouver’s Jericho Beach. Bruchet, who runs with UBC, was coming off a tough eight-km race at NAIA championships the week before, and was racing against Olympians and national team members at the 10-km Jericho race. Bruchet ran with the lead pack for the first half of the race, even leading
on a few occasions, before two Olympians – eventual winner Cameron Levins and second-place finisher Mohammed Ahmed – broke away from the pack. Bruchet, an Elgin Park Secondary graduate, finished 25 seconds back of the winner. Fellow South Surrey runner Blair Johnston, a White Rock Christian Academy alum and current Trinity Western University student, finished 21st in the senior men’s race. - Nick Greenizan

Earl Marriott Secondary football player Felix Wang was honoured at the B.C. High School Football Provincial Awards Banquet Tuesday for his work on the field, in the classroom and in the community. Wang, who arrived at Earl Marriott from China in Grade 9 with minimal English-language comprehension and no knowledge of football, was honoured with the Kevin Chin Memorial Award, which goes to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;top overall student athlete.â&#x20AC;? Wang carries a 90-per-cent average in the classroom, volunteers as a peer tutor and also at Peace Arch Hospital and with United Way. Additionally, he is heavily involved in his church, placed in the Top 25 in the Waterloo Math Contest, and is a captain on Marriottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Felixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record speaks loudly of his commitment to academics, athletics and community,â&#x20AC;? said EMS football coach Michael Mackay-Dunn, who called the honour â&#x20AC;&#x153;a super award for one of our top student/athletes.â&#x20AC;? In his letter to the award selection committee, Wang said he had â&#x20AC;&#x153;no idea what (football) wasâ&#x20AC;? at first, and at his first practice, he simply copied what others did.

A common belief is that spring is the best time to sell your home. After all, the lawn is green, flowers are in bloom, and most homes show well in full sunlight. Even though many buyers may be out in the good weather, you should consider some other factors.
Sold
Sellers thrive when there is less competition from other comparable listings. When there are fewer homes for sale in your price range, then buyers have fewer choices. In many cases, the buyer will comproB&W and Color version GREY background mise and purchase a home that doesn’t quite meet their exact specifications. This will work in your favor.
Consider listing your home from middle to late winter. This can be a great time to sell, especially if interest rates are low. Normally the inventory of homes for sale goes down substantially in December as people get wrapped up in holiday preparations. Sellers who listwww.whiterockrealestate.ca their homes in January and February often Outstanding find the market wide-open with little competition.

Harold graduated from the University of British Columbia as a Civil Engineer in 1950 and after a 13-year career with Dominion Construction, started Shopland Construction Co. For the next 25 years, Shopland Construction and later Clearspan Shopland helped build the province of BC. Harold’s genuine love & interest in people kept him close to family and friends & he always made those that knew him smile. The family would like to thank The Renaissance Retirement Residences for their love, compassion & care for Harold over the past 5 years. A Celebration of Life will be held on December 14, 2012 at 1pm at Crescent United Church 2756 - 127th Street, Surrey, BC with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations to Canuck Place Children’s Hospice. Forever in our hearts. Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre 604-536-6522

‘Broken promise’: The new Highway 1 express bus service over the Port Mann Bridge won’t stop in Surrey as previously planned – a change that has angered transit users. › see page B7
B
SECTION
Tolls kick in on new span Dec. 8 after free week
Port Mann set to open all eight lanes Jeff Nagel Black Press
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 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. 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

The new Port Mann Bridge is set to officially open Dec. 1, when all eight lanes will be open to traffic. Tolls go into effect on Dec. 8. 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 has been travelling on two lanes on the new bridge since Nov. 17. 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-andride 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 spokesperson Drew Snider said. “For now, this is what we are able to provide.”

Tax change helps small breweries Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – The B.C. government has changed its policy for taxing smaller breweries, to stave off a possible pre-Christmas shutdown at a Prince George brewery and promote growth in the craft brewing business. Smaller breweries are taxed at a lower rate than big commercial operations, until this week paying a flat tax of $1.75 per litre of bottled or canned beer and $1.20 per litre of draft. That rate applied until annual production reached 16 million litres, at which point the higher commercial brewery rate applied to the entire
production run. Reaching that threshold would trigger a tax increase in the millions of dollars, and Pacific Western Brewing of Prince George was the only B.C. producer getting close, partly from increased sales of their low-priced line of Cariboo beers. The company notified its employees last week that it was facing a shutdown for December if the tax policy didn’t change. Deputy premier Rich Coleman said Monday the new system creates a sliding scale of tax rates for smaller brewers that takes them up to the commercial tax rate of big breweries when they reach 30 million
litres of annual production. Retroactive taxation no longer applies to amounts up to the limit for qualifying breweries. Coleman said he supports the general policy of giving tax relief to smaller brewers, brought in by the Social Credit government in 1988. But the production ceiling and retroactive tax have created problems for brewers since then, and he hopes the new policy will allow them to plan their business and grow. An earlier version of the policy was withdrawn last week, amid reports that the president of Pacific Western Brewing had recently donated an auction prize of accommodation
in the Caribbean to a party fundraiser in Coleman’s Fort Langley-Aldergrove constituency. Coleman said he has returned that donation, and he should have checked to see that party donations were not solicited from people who have current business with his ministry. Both smaller brewers and large multinationals donate to the BC Liberals. He said the policy includes a chart that shows what brewers pay at each production level, to reduce confusion about how it applies to each business. The preferential rates apply to seven breweries currently operating in B.C.

Kinder Morgan info session draws crowd
Residents ‘shocked’ Celebrate a Life at existing pipeline DECEMBER 1 - DECEMBER 23 Semiahmoo Shopping Centre Monique Tamminga
Celebrate a Life hours: Mon.-Fri. 10am-8pm, Sat. & Sun. 10-6
Black Press
Fifty-two people – many of whom are property owners – turned out to an open house for the proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion held at Walnut Grove Secondary last Thursday, according to Kinder Morgan. Many people don’t realize that 17 kilometres of pipeline already runs through Langley, right through urban neighbourhoods in Walnut Grove. Kinder Morgan is proposing to twin that pipeline and double the amount of oil pumped through those lines. Several citizens with a new group called Pipe Up Network, who are opposed to the expansion project, set up an information booth outside the meeting on Thursday. “A lot of residents we have talked to were shocked to know that a pipeline already runs through Langley,” said resident Kevin Harper, who joined Pipe Up Network, a group of concerned citizens from Burnaby to Hope. Kinder Morgan wants to build a second pipeline from Alberta through B.C. to a shipping port in Burnaby. It would increase daily capacity to 750,000 barrels from the current 300,000 barrels. “It’s a 60-year-old pipeline that has diluted bitumen running through it. They want to run 750,000 barrels per
The journey of mourning the loss of a loved one is always difficult, particularly during the holidays. Celebrate a Life offers people an opportunity to stop and remember a loved one who has died, while also helping raise awareness of the programs and services Hospice offers in their community.

day through those lines. “It’s scary to think of,” said Harper. He said the Huntingdon aquifer, several waterways and a bird sanctuary in Langley are all on the pipeline route. At least a dozen representatives from Kinder Morgan (Trans Mountain) were at the meeting, wearing visible green jackets, ready to answer questions. But one question they couldn’t answer is what the exact route of the twin pipeline will be. There is a routing team in place trying to determine a corridor for the new pipes to be put in.

A new poll of B.C. residents’ attitudes to giving show the charities most likely to get their donations are the B.C. Cancer Foundation, B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation and the Canadian Cancer Society. That’s one of the findings of an online poll of more than 900 B.C. residents conducted by Insights West. The research firm found the average respondent donated $732 to charities last year, but that fell to $445 once the top four per cent of very large donors were factored out and the median donation was $200. The top three branded charities each scored close to 95 per cent awareness and 52 per cent said they would give in the future to the B.C. Cancer Foundation, compared to 46 per cent for Children’s Hospital and 40 per cent for the Canadian Cancer Society. Nine other charities, from Big Brothers and Sisters to the United Way, had 90 per cent plus recogni-
tion, but only 20 to 30 per cent of respondents were likely to donate to them in the future – about half the rate of the big three. It also found a 52 per cent majority of B.C. residents willing to give to local food banks. Insights West president Steve Mossop said charities face an intensifying battle with their competitors to get public attention and pull in scarce dollars from donors who already complain of being chased by too many causes. Campaign events like runs and walks that pull in friends and family with a link to a cause are one of the creative marketing methods in use. Personal belief in the cause was the top determinant of whether a respondent would donate to a charity, the poll found. But transparency and good outcomes from donations were also very important. The top two reasons not to donate to a charity – listed by 83 per cent of respondents – were that administration costs are too high and that too many groups
want money. “Charities that don’t do a good job of explaining where the money is going and aren’t up front about their administration costs are going to suffer in the future,” Mossop said. One source of those numbers is watchdog organization Charity Intelligence Canada, which runs an online database of Canadian charities at charityintelligence.ca. It shows fundraising costs consumed nearly 30 per cent of the donations collected by the Canadian Cancer Society’s B.C and Yukon division, an improvement from 40.5 per cent two years ago. B.C. Children’s Hospital plowed 21.4 per cent of donations back into fundraising, while the B.C. Cancer Foundation rate was 23.7 per cent. The B.C. Cancer Foundation was the only one of the three to appear on Charity Intelligence’s list of top-performing Canadian charities. MORE ONLINE: Have your say at www.yourinsights.ca/charitablegiving

Intracorp brings riverfront luxury to Richmond
Oval Village welcomes River Park Place Intracorp is introducing “New Luxury” to the Richmond Oval Village with its newest development, River Park Place. This riverfront master-planned and pedestrian-friendly community will be developed in three phases. These contemporary condominiums will redefine urban living, complement the existing Oval Village and add a significant architectural landmark to the neighbourhood. The first phase, a 15-storey tower, will mark the entrance to the Oval Village shopping district. The interiors will showcase quality finishes and sophisticated and efficient
design. Residents will have access to a private banquet room for entertaining. Other amenities include music rooms, a basketball court, a secured children’s play area, and much more. River Park Place will be a few blocks away from the new T&T Supermarket. There is also shopping, dining and the state-of-the-art Richmond Oval fitness centre located right in the neighbourhood.

Among the amenities offered is an outdoor swimming pool, hot tub, putting green, community garden, fully equipped fitness facility and a lounge and bar with a multi-media room, party room and kitchen, among other things. “Nobody else can offer these amenities,” says Greenfield. “We have 1.5 acres of outdoor space.” When you venture off the property, you will find shopping and dining just steps away at Coquitlam Centre. There are several leisure activities in the 2,200 acres of parks and trails nearby, as
well as education at Douglas College and several elementary and secondary schools. “Our location is optimal,” Greenfield says. “We made sure that we made life as comfortable as possible.” Intergulf is proud to offer 100 homes under $300,000, which gives first-time buyers a chance to buy a home in a great transit-oriented community. “This is a great investment,” Greenfield says. “It’s the optimal time to buy.” Homes at Grand Central Three start at $229,900.

‘It’s the optimal time to buy’
Living the grand life at Intergulf’s Grand Central By Kerry Vital
Life is grand at Intergulf Development Group’s Grand Central Three, in the heart of Coquitlam’s centre and right on the soon-to-bebuilt Evergreen Line. With great layouts, beautiful features and amazing amenities, finding the perfect home at Grand Central will not be hard. “We’ve been very careful to efficiently design the homes,” says Rennie project manager Macartney Greenfield. “Our layouts are pretty fantastic.” Ranging from 545 to over 1,400 square feet, the 249 homes are available in a range of one- and two-bedroom plans, some with a den as well. The 37-storey building has huge windows and spacious balconies or patios, so the outdoors is never far away no matter what the weather is like. Inside, the 8’8-ceilings and laminate wood flooring throughout the living and dining rooms combine for a truly great first impression. Buyers are able to choose between two colour schemes, Chelsea and Manhattan, giving you options for making your home yours. Stainless-steel appliances, contemporary wood veneer cabinetry and quartz countertops are all included in the elegant kitchen, and the marble backsplash is a highlight. “It really sticks out as a design

A full-size washer and dryer is included with every suite, one of many convenient touches that Intergulf is offering its buyers. This is the third phase of Grand Central, so buyers will be able to

knew for some time the service would initially bypass Surrey, adding he will press TransLink to “eventually” add stops there when it gains more funding. “It’s not never,” he said. “It’s a question of timing and volume and the need for feeder routes that go into it.” Dela Cruz said it was the province’s responsibility, under the $3.3-billion Port Mann/Highway 1 project, to build the promised transit infrastructure, even though it is TransLink that operates the service. Zabel said a basic stop at the HOV ramps is impossible because the gap in the freeway is too narrow. An off-interchange bus loop would be needed, he said, but TransLink can’t afford to build it right now.

neither the park-and-ride nor the transit exchange has been built. TransLink spokesman Derek Zabel said that infrastructure was tied to commercial development plans in the area that never advanced. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said she was never informed the stop at 156 Street had been cancelled. “That was not the original commitment that was made,” Watts said. “There’s no point in bypassing a city of a half a million people… the residents of Surrey have continued to pay through taxes for all of the infrastructure everywhere else. It’s just not fair when that infrastructure is not completed in Surrey.” Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, vice-chair of the TransLink mayors council, said he

Users of the new Highway 1 express bus service over the Port Mann Bridge won’t be able to board or exit in Surrey as had previously been promised. The express buses start to roll Dec. 1 when the bridge officially opens. The announcement for the new #555 route was made by Transportation Minister Mary Polak amid fanfare last Friday. But transit advocates in Surrey are angry their promised stop near the new dedicated bus/HOV ramps at 156 Street has been quietly dropped from the plan. “It’s definitely a broken promise – an act of fraud, really,” said Daryl Dela Cruz, who lives in Guildford but will now watch as #555 buses going to and from Langley roll by without stopping. “Taxpayers paid for that HOV ramp,” he said. “But ironically there’s not going to be any buses using the HOV ramp. They’re just going to be bypassing it, they’re not going to stop.” The 156 Street stop for the express bus service is still depicted on the province’s Gateway program website on maps, graphics and even a video that shows express buses turning off the freeway in Surrey. Also promised was a park-andride at a 156 Street bus loop but
