Cathy Brady keeps kids safe on streets outside Don Christian Elementary by Sheila Reynolds WHEN CATHY Brady retired three years ago, she swore she’d never work in an office again. While out delivering papers one day, she began chatting with a crossing guard at a nearby school and that’s when it hit her. “I thought, ‘that’s something I could do that could get me outside’.” For the past few years, each morning and afternoon, the 62-year-old has taken her post at the corner of 184 Street and

63 Avenue, guiding children and parents safely to and from Surrey’s Don Christian Elementary. The first couple of days, she admits, she found the job a bit boring. Until she started waving. A lot. “I wave at everybody that drives down 184 Street,” said Brady, adding it also helps slow traffic around the school. “It’s fun to see if you can get people to smile.” People generally wave back, although there is the occasional grump who ignores her.

Surrey teacher disciplined over photo of student

Reese Shelly (right) and Chase Marshall started collecting pajamas for children in need three years ago. The Christmas Pajama Drive now sees thousands of pairs of PJs collected for distribution during the holiday season.

who took a photo of a 14-year-old student with a lollipop in her mouth is among the latest educators to be disciplined by the B.C. Teacher Regulation Branch. Timothy Trylinski admitted to professional misconduct in September and was suspended for five days in connection to the incident, which took place in the spring of 2011. According to a Consent Resolution Agreement posted on the regulation branch’s website last week, Trylinski was teaching a Grade 9 social studies class where a girl had a large, colourful lollipop. During class, he suggested someone should take a picture of – Consent her, because it would be Resolution “cute.” class, Agreement heAfter took a photograph of the girl himself outside the classroom with his phone camera, showing the student with the lollipop in her mouth, wearing a “low-cut and somewhat revealing” top, according to a discipline summary. At the end of the school year, Trylinski asked the student to come see him at school because he had something for her.

Casino: Council to consider plan on Dec. 10 From Page 1

EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER

Bill Reid speaks at the press conference.

merce (CDCC) held a news conference Tuesday to publicly voice their support for a $100-million casino and entertainment complex planned for an 18-acre parcel of land at 10 Avenue and 168 Street. As host city, Surrey would receive an estimated $3 million annually in gaming revenue from the province for the South Surrey casino. But Anita Huberman, president and CEO of the SBOT, said the benefits are not just in having a casino. One of the most important things about the South Surrey proposal, Huberman said, is that it’s “multifaceted.” She noted it will contain 27,000 square feet of “much-needed” conference space, as well as seating for meetings of up to 1,500 people, capacity for banquets for up to 1,000, and a 200-room,

four-star hotel. “It is much more than a casino,” Huberman said. “And this fact really must be recognized.” Bill Reid, executive director of the CDCC, said he was pleased to join the other business groups in “encouraging the City of Surrey council to give this a thumbs-up so we can get on with it.” As to the social impacts, such as gaming addiction and poverty, Huberman said she’s spoken with the police and social service agencies to counter the types of issues around addiction. “Market research has been done where that type of activity is minimal,” Huberman said. “But you need to work collaboratively with the RCMP and social service agencies in order to alleviate and bring a solution to those types of issues.” Reid said since the addition of slots at Fraser Downs Casino and Racetrack, Cloverdale has seen very little increase in social problems.

“The addition of the casino in Cloverdale has not created one single issue around prostitution, laundering of money, stabbings in the parking lot,” Reid said. About four casino opponents gathered outside the SBOT office during the press conference, as they were not allowed inside. Terry McNeice questioned the numbers regarding gaming revenue leaving the province. He believes most people in Surrey go down to the U.S. for shopping and may gamble while there, but it’s not their primary purpose for going. McNeice is also concerned that a market assessment, traffic impact study and social impact study have not been made public. Surrey council will consider the proposal at a land use meeting at city hall on Dec. 10. A public meeting will be held on Jan. 14, 2013.

The incident is also a reminder to drivers and pedestrians alike to be extra cautious on the roads, Paquet said, citing inclement weather and the earlier onset of darkness.

Shortly after, Trylinski said he was taken out of class, detained, and searched by a police officer. He was told students had reported that he had a knife, which was never found. He is among a list of eight teachers recently disciplined from various school districts, including North Vancouver’s Victor Wiens, who is currently serving a one-year jail sentence for sexually exploiting a 14-year-old. The full list can be found at http://www.bcteacherregulation.ca/ under the Professional Conduct tab.

Trylinski gave her a mug with the photograph on it, saying she should show it to her mother. Her parents, however, were not pleased. Trylinski was in the news six years ago when he launched a human rights complaint against the Surrey School District. The case, which was settled before it went to hearing, arose after Trylinski claimed he was discriminated against due to a mental disability. He said that in 2005, he had returned to work after

Surrey/North Delta Leader 7

Not everyone’s fit enough to shovel

Here Is my respOnse to “Get your snow shov-

els out,” Letters, The Leader, Nov. 29. Oh, to be young, strong, healthy and able to do all things; to look at the world and say, “If I can do it, anyone can.” The author obviously thinks those elderly folks in danger walking on snow-covered sidewalks should be out shovelling them instead. No thought is given to our aging population that’s steadily increasing, with baby boomers quickly catching up. How smug to point a finger and say “do it.”

Try finding someone to shovel your walkways. Most young people dismiss manual labour, even for good money. Commercial snow removers take days to come and don’t service some areas of Surrey, assuming you booked them in September while still accepting new clients. Maybe the author thinks Grandma should grab her cane, put her boots on, and start shovelling. It would make life so much easier for all. If she gets her sidewalks clear, the paramedics can make it to her door and folks can push their

baby carriages safely past the ambulance when out for their afternoon stroll. Just send the municipal fine directly to the hospital. Those truly concerned could canvas their neighbourhood and ascertain who needs assistance with snow removal, then help them find someone to do the job or maybe do it for them. Complaining is easy. Helping takes a lot more work. Marilyn Randle, Surrey

Medicine’s healthy work ethic I Have Heard several negative

reports about the treatment of patients in the emergency room at Surrey Memorial Hospital. My wife recently required treatment in the emergency room and was referred to the Jim Pattison Outpatient and Surgical Centre due to damage as a result of flooding at SMH. I want to commend the staff at the hospital for their kind, courteous, professional, and respectful treatment, in spite of the disruption in facilities. We appreciate their work ethic even in the face of their own hardship and are thankful for how they treated our family. Jagdev S. Jatana, Surrey

Total professionalism We all rely On our local emer-

gency department in an emergency – and its staff are there for us and our loved ones when we need it most. During the past two weeks, we have seen what happens to the emergency department during an emergency. The flood at Surrey Memorial Hospital on Nov. 19 set in motion a cascade of activity at that site, as well as hospitals throughout our region. On behalf of our Foundation, and as a member of this community, I would like to thank the medical professionals and health care team at Peace Arch Hospital’s emergency department.

LEADER FILE PHOTO

letter writers commend the health care professionals who coped when surrey memorial Hospital’s emergency room was shut down for two weeks following a burst water main. They have done a superb job to ensure that patients continued to receive quality care, close to home, during the past two weeks. Peace Arch Hospital’s ER was built in the 1980s to facilitate 60 patients a day. Today our ER sees an average of 120 patients a day. And during the past two weeks,

there was an influx of patients, peaking at 194 patients a day. We are fortunate to have such talented staff keeping all the systems running smoothly. Commendations to Fraser Health for executing their disaster plans with total professionalism and efficiency. Thank you to all involved in managing through this emergency

TransLink missed the bus It Is very disappointing

that the new bus service between Langley and New Westminster is not going to make any stop in Surrey. To get more cars off the road and provide the maximum convenience to the public, more express bus service is needed to run on that specific bus route. The decision to not stop the bus in Surrey is silly and irrational on

the part of TransLink and the Ministry of Transportation. Overlapping layers of bureaucracy make irresponsible and shortsighted decisions. If the bus service is made attractive, convenient and economical, then more people will be tempted to ride and use the system, which will result in fewer cars on the roads. In the long run, it will help reduce pollution

and congestion on the roads. Pollution causes respiratory and other ailments. With less pollution fewer people will end up in hospitals and there will be less strain on the health care system. There should be a long-term plan in place. Alas, it is not so. Kalwant Singh Sahota Delta

Burning argument re: “Open fIre an enjoyable experience, “Letters, The Leader, Nov. 20. Not when you have people who never have their chimney cleaned, burn household garbage and kitchen waste, and burn the stinking fire all night long to save on heating costs. Wood fireplaces should all be banned as most are safety hazards and air polluters. We sleep with a window open at night and since early November we’ve had to shut it as neighbourhood fireplace smoke and stench wafts in. I feel for anyone with respiratory problems. If smoke from someone else’s property invades my space I should be able to report it and have the fireplace shut down.

Stop Gateway was correct

re: “neW pOrt Mann Bridge won’t solve gridlock,” Letters, The Leader, Nov. 27. For others who may also have missed what the Stop Gateway movement and UBC transportation expert Stephen Rees have pointed out, every other highway expansion project in North America has filled up within a couple of years. Seattle’s own mega-billion version of Gateway filled up in less than two years. Stop Gateway pointed out that the best long-term option was to pour the large majority of TransLink funding into expansion of public transit – coaxing more and more of those drivers who continue to choose to drive out of their cozy private vehicles. Stop Gateway pointed out that 75 per cent of those using the Port Mann do so in single occupancy vehicles (SOVs). Tolling SOVs heavily, with carpoolers being given reduced rates based on occupancy, would have reduced overall Port Mann traffic by at least half. By the way, Gateway’s South Fraser Perimeter Road – that sucked up extremely valuable farmland as well as banging away once again at our precious Burns Bog – made no sense either. Opponents pointed out that transport by barge from Delta Port along the Fraser River to Port Kells warehouses up river would have kept hundreds of semi-trailers an hour from going back and forth along that route, reflecting what most big cities like Paris and London have opted for. Most large cities in Europe also restrict tractor-trailer deliveries to off-peak overnight hours – business warehousing must remain open to accept that cargo. Gateway was a huge misallocation of taxes. All in all, letter writer Lyslie Koch is most probably bang on in her hindsight prediction. Lance Read Surrey

Lights in ship-shape Seaworthy display in White Rock on Dec. 8 at 5 p.m. Black Press This saTurday, Dec. 8,

Mike Skulsky, the port captain of the White Rock-based International Yacht Club, plans to load a 3,000-watt portable generator aboard his vessel – along with 250 feet of Christmas lights. Then Skulsky and some like-minded sailors will take their brightly lit ships to the waters of Semiahmoo Bay for the club’s annual Christmas Light Parade. Normally, the event is held the first Saturday in December, but organizers decided to delay it a week. That’s because the first Saturday also happened to be the first day of December and there was concern it might still be too bright out. Based on the wet and windy conditions experienced last weekend, the delay may have been an inspired move. “It was bloody awful,” Skulsky said of the Dec. 1 conditions, adding the

sail-past likely would have been cancelled. The long-range weather forecast for Dec. 8 is for relatively warm and dry conditions, a low of plus-one Celsius and partly cloudy skies. It also calls for light rain the day before and mixed rain and snow the day after. “That’s good news,” said Skulsky, who has been participating in the annual event for “about 25” years. So far, only 10 ships have signed up for the Christmas sail-past, but Skulsky is hoping the word about the positive weather forecast will add to the fleet. Anyone interested in taking part can call 604-240-7978 or 1-604-858-1717. Participating boats will muster near the White Rock pier between 4 and 5 p.m. on the Saturday. At 5 p.m., they’ll all flip the switch. It’s suggested that the end of the pier is the best place to watch from.

Surrey Board of Trade reacts to city budget Gives financial standing an ‘A’ grade, but warns spending needs to be watched closely

by Kevin Diakiw The voice of Surrey businesses is

giving a thumbs-up to the city’s budget, with some cautionary notes about spending and where it gets its revenues. Anita Huberman, president and CEO of the Surrey Board of Trade (SBOT) is giving the city a grade of “A” for this year’s budget, which calls for a 2.9-per-cent residential property tax increase, as well as a continuation of its one-per-cent

road levy on households. While Huberman said the city is in a very strong financial position, she’s issuing a warning about its level of spending and where it goes for revenues. She points to the much-needed Build Surrey program, which includes most capital projects in the city for the coming years, as a necessary list of spending. However, she’s asking the city to watch carefully where it puts the public dime.

“They need to think entrepreneurially. No longer can they continue to increase taxes for business and residences,” Huberman said Wednesday. There is spending that must occur, and areas where Surrey should place more focus, she said. For instance, Surrey could use much more funding for infrastructure such as roads. The question is, she said, is where don’t you spend in order to bring about those critical road

improvements? “The city needs to be very cognizant of what it’s spending and how much revenue they’re bringing in,” Huberman said. She also said the city needs to be careful in raising taxes to pay for increases. Other revenue sources need to be explored more closely, such as leasing city property and using gaming revenue and dividends from the Surrey City Development Corp.

“I think they have the opportunity, if the gaming revenue exceeds expectations... to spend and focus on other things that Surrey needs,” Huberman said adding that should include infrastructure and environmental initiatives. Surrey could step up the pace on its hydrogen fuel stations if revenues are found, Huberman added. All in all, the SBOT finds Surrey is in a very healthy financial position and approves of this year’s budget.

Supporting new economic benefits for our community We are proud to show our support for the South Surrey Entertainment Complex and the significant economic benefits it will bring to Surrey and White Rock. This $100 million investment in our local economy will create 1,200 jobs during construction and another 500 full-time jobs once operational. It will generate new revenues for all levels of government to support public services. It will help bring more than $80 million in entertainment dollars back to our community that is currently being spent elsewhere, including the US. As a dynamic new entertainment destination, the complex will be a valuable addition to our local tourism industry. It features 27,000 square-feet of much-needed new conference space, with seating for events and meetings of up to 1,500 people and dinners of up to 1,000 people. A new 200-room four-star hotel is also featured. And a new 800-seat show theatre will attract big-name entertainers. THIS PROJECT IS A BIG BOOST FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES. WE CALL ON SURREY COUNCIL TO JOIN US IN SUPPORT OF THIS IMPORTANT PROPOSAL.

Delta Coun. Sylvia Bishop has

been acclaimed by the B.C. NDP to represent the riding of DeltaNorth in the 2013 provincial election, replacing outgoing MLA Guy Gentner. She was formally nominated by the Delta-North NDP riding association Sunday (Dec. 2) at the

George Mackie Library. “I’m inspired by Adrian Dix and his message of positive change,” said Bishop in a telephone interview on Monday. “We know that under 12 years of Liberal policy and government, that B.C. is not better off than it was and they haven’t done much for the average British Columbian.” Bishop said she will continue

to serve as councillor until the provincial election on May 14. Should Bishop win the riding next May, a civic byelection would need to be held to replace her seat on council. The next municipal election is not scheduled to take place until November 2014.

Teen dating violence focus on Surrey forum

Messages must be delivered to children early in life that they need to hear that ‘inner voice’ in relationships by Kevin Diakiw Stopping bullying and

threats may not be any more possible than it is to monitor our children’s every move. But it is possible to cultivate core strength, and educate kids on the necessary skills to manage conflicts they face every day. That includes teaching youth to listen to their inner voice, and that there’s no shame in ending a relationship that doesn’t feel right. These are the kind of lessons taught at a day-long Surrey Coalition Against Domestic Abuse (SCADA) conference on Wednesday, which focused on teen dating.

Speakers at the conference included Anita Roberts (Navigating Adolescence), Teal Maedel (Vicarious

Trauma and Self Care for Service Providers), Cpl. Allison Douglas (Surrey RCMP Domestic Violence Unit),

and Jessie Shoker (a probation officer who facilitates workshops on teen dating abuse for offenders and victims).

Barinder Rasode The city-sponsored event is the secondannual conference held by SCADA. Surrey Coun. Barinder Rasode said it’s an extremely important topic that must be addressed. “We’re reminded that domestic abuse is what we should call relationship abuse,” Rasode said. “And it’s a progression that starts very early in a relationship.” Important information must be delivered to both the people who are victims of the violence and the perpetrators who can’t seem to harness their anger, Rasode said. “This is what this dialogue was about.” That message must come early, speakers said. The most common advice given to teens is “just walk away” or “report it,” which is the last thing they want to do, they said. Speakers believe violence prevention lies in the empowerment of children and youth.

And some days, she admits, she doesn’t necessarily feel up to delivering her usual cheery wave. “But then somebody will come along that I’ve been waving to for years and they’ll wave at me and I remember, ‘oh yeah, that’s why I like being out here.’ It comes back.” For her efforts, Brady has been named one of top three crossing guards in the country (the other two winners are from Nova Scotia and Ontario). Parents at the school spearheaded the effort to nominate her for Canada’s Favourite Crossing Guard Contest hosted by Parachute, Safe Kids Canada and FedEx Canada, sending in photos and anecdotes about Brady. Martin Bobik, principal at Don Christian, said the school is excited to see her honoured. “She’s always got a big smile on her face,” he said. “She takes her job seriously and really enjoys the service that she provides.” Parent Joanne Howe agrees. “She really deserves to be recognized,” said the mom. Brady and the other winning crossing guards will receive $500 apiece and an engraved plaque, and each school will also receive $500. Although she was aware she had been nominated, the award still came as a surprise. “I never expected to win. There’s a lot of crossing guards across Canada.” Brady will be recognized at an assembly at the school on Monday (Dec. 10).

The Vaudevillains Hit Broadway

Border gun laws challenged Canadian rules catching wrong bad guys, lawyer says by Tracy Holmes A mAn who pleaded guilty to smuggling and possession of a prohibited weapon has been fined $5,000 in connection with the offences. But the lawyer for Robert Paul Cominos says his client is among many U.S. residents who are being penalized by a Canadian law that is catching the wrong bad guys. Cominos, said Craig Sicotte, was legally entitled to carry the loaded .40-calibre pistol – concealed, even – that was found in the glove box of his car last spring – just not in Canada. “They’re licensed to carry (in Washington),” Sicotte said of Cominos and one other recent client charged with similar offences. “It just doesn’t apply in Canada.” Cominos was arrested April 24 at the Douglas (Peace Arch) border, after he told guards about a Steyr Mannlicher and ammunition in the glove box of his vehicle. The magazine was loaded with 10 rounds, and had the capacity to hold more. Arrested and turned over to Surrey RCMP, Cominos pleaded guilty last month in Surrey Provincial Court. A fine of $2,500

have made 129 firearms seizures so far, including of handguns, shotguns, rifles and semi-automatic pistols. And, CBSA’s criminal investigations section has recommended charges in 18 firearms-smuggling cases. The case against one other U.S. resident also wrapped up Oct. 23. Marvin Lynn Anderson was ordered in Surrey Provincial Court to pay $5,000 for each of two firearms-related charges – gun smuggling and possession of a restricted firearm – that resulted from his June 28, 2011 arrest at the Pacific Highway border. Guards had found an unloaded .38-calibre pistol and a magazine with five rounds of ammunition in a duffel bag on the front passenger seat of a northbound vehicle. At least one other case will be making its way through the court system in the coming months. Last month, border guards at Pacific Highway seized a 9mm Sig Sauer P226 Elite and three high-capacity magazines from the cab of a traveller’s tractor. One traveller was arrested and turned over to Surrey RCMP.

Noting Cominos is currently doing work with the military in Afghanistan, Sicotte said his client is hardly a threat to Canadians. “He’s over helping the troops and we’re criminalizing him.” Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officials confirmed earlier this month that the majority of firearms seized at the borders – 500 this year, as of last month – are taken from U.S. residents who don’t declare their weapons. “Most… are the personal firearms of U.S. travellers who neglected to declare their personal firearms,” spokesperson Stefanie Wudel said by email, noting the laws are firm. “All travellers must declare any firearms and weapons in their possession when they enter Canada. Anyone who does not declare them upon arrival can be charged for the smuggling or trafficking of firearms into Canada.” This year in the Pacific Region – which includes the Douglas and Pacific Highway ports – guards

B.C. backs down on flu vaccine edict No punishment for health workers who refuse to get shots or wear masks

by Jeff Nagel The province has

granted a one-year reprieve from its directive that health workers wear a mask this flu season if they refuse to be vaccinated. Those who don’t comply won’t be disciplined, deputy health minister Graham Whitmarsh said in a Nov. 30 letter to health authorities. Enforcement that was to begin Dec. 1 is on hold while the ministry carries out more consultation with unions and other affected staff to help determine how best to fully implement the flu control policy, he said. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall gave the needle-ormask order this summer, citing an inadequate flu immunization rate of less than 50 per cent among B.C. health care workers despite free shots and much encouragement. But unions denounced the policy as a privacy violation,

saying the threat of discipline to compel unvaccinated workers to wear masks would have forced them to disclose their decision not to get a flu shot. Those who did get vaccinated were

“If they choose not to be vaccinated for any number of factors... that is their right.” Reid Johnson expected to wear badges or pins to assure patients they were immunized. Health Sciences Association of B.C. president Reid Johnson said the union encourages its members to be vaccinated but defends their right to choose. “If they choose not to be vaccinated for any number of factors – including experiences

with bad side effects to vaccines and fundamental, philosophical, or religious objections to vaccination – that is their right,” he said. Rather than enforcing a season-long order to mask up, he said, that step can be taken during an actual flu outbreak, along with other longstanding options such as relocating staff or having them stay home. Hospital Employees’ Union spokesperson Margi Blamey said some members questioned the research on the benefits of vaccination, while others refuse to have foreign substances put in their bodies or considered it a human right to make their own decision. “People were upset and they were upset for a number of reasons,” she said. Another source of dissent, she said, was that employees were supposed to report on other co-workers who didn’t get the flu shot and weren’t wearing a mask.

“In health care, where you rely on teamwork, that just doesn’t fly.” Despite the controversy, more health workers did roll up their sleeves for the needle this fall. According to Kendall’s office, more than 60 per cent of full-time health

workers are now vaccinated. And Fraser Health reported an even higher rate of more than 70 per cent of full-time staff vaccinated as of last Thursday, a number that’s expected to climb further. A ministry spokesper-

Metro plans dam profit

Thursday, December 6, 2012 Surrey/North Delta Leader 21

Electric generating stations to be added at North Shore reservoirs by Jeff Nagel Metro VancouVer intends to

add turbines to generate hydroelectric power at its North Shore dams that hold back the Capilano and Seymour reservoirs. And regional district reps are giving assurances the diversion of water for power revenue won’t leave fish high and dry without enough water to survive. Metro estimates it would earn $6 to $10 million a year from the electricity that would be generated at the proposed 16-megawatt Capilano hydro project beside the Cleveland Dam. That would be a new net source of revenue after the $75 to $90 million capital project is paid off over about 10 to 15 years. A smaller power station costing $25 to $40 million would be built later at Seymour. It would generate less power and earn $1.3 million to $2.3 million from energy sales, taking 20 to 35 years before the capital cost would be paid off. Power sales would help pay for Metro’s water system — the region is steadily ratcheting up utility fees to residents in order to upgrade water and sewer infrastructure. “There will be no negative

aspects to this,” pledged North Vancouver City Mayor Darrell Mussatto, chair of Metro’s utilities committee. “We’re not talking about whether we build a dam or not. The dam stays at the same height and it stays where it is.” Metro estimates it can safely divert some water to turn the turbines in the rainy months of the year without running short for drinking water. “It’s only when we have excess spill water going over the dam that we’ll be doing this,” Mussatto said. Metro also promises better flow control and other upgrades that will improve conditions for salmon, which can sometimes be stranded at low water during dry months or die falling over the Cleveland dam. The Metro board adopted its Joint Water Use Plan for the two reservoirs Friday after two years of technical study. The drinking water supply and fish habitat considerations would come first, ahead of powergeneration goals, according to the plan, which sets minimum mandatory water levels to protect salmonids. Of particular concern is a run of steelhead that lay eggs in the

gravel below the Cleveland Dam in early July. “That’s one of the most endangered fish runs in the province,” said Vancouver Coun. Heather Deal, who chairs Metro’s environment and parks committee. “We need to make sure the gravel is sufficiently watered to keep those eggs alive until they’re able to hatch.” Watershed Watch Salmon Society executive director Craig Orr said he will be watching how the plans unfold and to ensure fish habitat doesn’t slip as a priority after the region has shelled out large amounts of money to pursue power revenue. “Any time you increase generation capacity in a system it comes with some risk to the environment – that needs to be kept in mind.” He said BC Hydro’s generation of power at the Coquitlam reservoir has caused many strandings of coho salmon downstream. Metro’s plans are subject to regulatory review by the provincial government, which would issue the water licences before the region conducts more work and begins construction.

New Democrat who may be B.C.’s next transportation minister if his party takes power would steer clear of the new Port Mann Bridge – the province’s biggest infrastructure project. Opposition transportation critic Harry Bains, MLA for SurreyNewton, told Black Press last week he didn’t intend to register with the TReO tolling system because he had little cause to use the Port Mann. Most of his duties keep him south of the Fraser or taking SkyTrain to Vancouver, rather than visiting the Tri Cities. But as his constituents clamoured to register before opening day to get a $30 credit – pushing registrations above the halfmillion mark – Bains had a change of heart and signed up as well. “I finally registered and I’m going to go take a trip,” Bains said Tuesday. “Since it’s free this week, I’ll go take a look.”

I’M GIVING IN TO TEMPTATION. I don’t care if people judge me — I’m having seconds. I’m using spices and seasoning from Well Seasoned on my turkey this year, and I know it’s going to be delicious. Finally, a good excuse to undo my pants!

Drivers raved this week at the improved traffic flow on the Port mann Bridge.

Port Mann bottleneck clears as bridge opens Toll-free honeymoon period ends on Dec. 8 It’s smooth sailing for

There are fears drivers who refuse to pay will then clog the free Pattullo Bridge, Alex Fraser Bridge and even the Massey Tunnel. “Words cannot explain how sad I am that the Port Mann Bridge is tolled now,” tweeted Sophie Thompson. “Looks like I’m stranded in Surrey.” Port Mann/Highway 1 project officials predict the net diversion will be modest, with significant numbers of drivers coming back to the corridor who have shunned it for years because of heavy congestion.

only be free this week. Starting next Saturday, regular drivers will pay an introductory toll of $1.50 per crossing (more for larger vehicles) and that will increase to $3 by the end of 2013, or by March for drivers who don’t register before then with the TReO electronic tolling system. Frequent users can get an unlimited monthly pass – $75 a month while the halfprice toll is in effect rising to $150 in a year’s time. How residents respond to the tolls remains to be seen.

Highway 1 commuters between Surrey and Coquitlam this week after the new Port Mann Bridge officially opened Saturday with eight lanes flowing. Drivers raved about the new bridge – and their ability to cross it in record time – after its first big test of weekday conditions on Monday. “The easiest commute in ages,” tweeted Langley motorist Evangel Biaison. “Just crossed the Port Mann during rush hour without bumper to bumper traffic for the first time in my life,” said Twitter user ‘Taj’, who estimated he saved 20 to 25 minutes. Student Avneet Sidhu said he got to class 30 minutes early because of the bridge. There’s still congestion elsewhere on Highway 1 – the freeway is narrower in Burnaby, where construction will continue through 2013, and long waits were reported heading for the Brunette Avenue exit. But B.C.’s biggest bottleneck has been unplugged. The world’s widest bridge had already been running with the normal five lanes – three eastbound and two westbound – but

Saturday’s ceremonial removal of traffic cones opened up three more lanes, instantly transforming traffic conditions. “After years of waiting, drivers get to enjoy a faster, more efficient commute and will have more time to spend with their family instead of sitting in an idling car,” Premier Christy Clark said at the opening. Port Mann/Highway 1 officials had projected some commutes between Surrey and Coquitlam would fall by two-thirds to just over 10 minutes. The convenience will

Drivers: Some still vow bridge boycott

From page 23

The northeast section of the South Fraser Perimeter Road (SFPR) is also now open, providing a new link through Surrey to the Pattullo Bridge for motorists seeking a free untolled crossing. But since westbound traffic would have to get on the SFPR at 176 Street, much toll-averse traffic must wend its way through Surrey roads to get to the Pattullo before facing already severe congestion in New Westminster. Some drivers are dead-set against having to pay to drive over a bridge and vow to boycott the bridge. Other observers are more optimistic, saying the province’s decision to offer half-price tolls as well as other incentives to sign up for TReO should ensure many drivers at least try out the system. That may convince many to stick with it despite the cost once they’re hooked by the ease of the new corridor. Tens of thousands of drivers clogged phone lines and the TReO website Friday to get a credit for 20 free trips by a Friday midnight deadline. More than 60,000 new drivers signed up that day and more than 500,000 vehicles are now registered. The province has promised tolls will come off the bridge in 2050 when the $3.3-billion highway improvement project is fully paid off. But some experts say one of the bridge’s legacies may have been to create a perception of unfair treatment – with tolls applied to bridges in just one part of the region – igniting an ongoing debate about “fair tolling”

reforms that could see all major roads eventually tolled. It will be Metro Vancouver’s second toll bridge, after the Golden Ears Bridge, which is run by TransLink. The project is not strictly a bridge. The highway itself has been expanded and dozens of overpasses have been rebuilt or added along the 37-kilometre corridor. HOV lanes now extend another 20 kilometres east – all the way to Langley – easing the commute for those who are able to car-pool. HOV lane users who register as such and travel during peak hours also get a 25 per cent discount. Heavy trucks that travel overnight get a 50 per cent discount. Work on the western sections of Highway 1 in Burnaby won’t be complete until the end of 2013. About the same time, the final two lanes of the new bridge will be connected, providing 10 lanes, five in each direction. Two lanes each way will be for general purpose traffic, one will be for HOV users and buses and two more will be dedicated local traffic lanes to handle the large number of motorists who go between Surrey and Coquitlam. Those local traffic lanes will be separated from the rest of the freeway traffic, so Surrey-Coquitlam motorists won’t have to merge or potentially be snarled in other freeway traffic troubles. They’ll effectively have their own bridge linking those cities. The old Port Mann Bridge is to be dismantled in 2014. Buses are also now running over the bridge for the first time in decades.

GVHBA welcomes new President and CEO Bob de Wit By Kerry Vital

The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association is proud to introduce its new President and CEO, Bob de Wit. Replacing long-time president Peter Simpson, de Wit is ready to take on the challenge. “I’m committed to listening to our members, home owners and government in seeking new ideas for creative and collaborative

solutions for making home ownership more affordable,” he says. De Wit already has a few plans now that he’s taken over the reins. “Our focus at GVHBA going forward will be on expanding local government relations activity and encouraging greater intramembership trade,” he says. Prior to starting at the GVHBA, de Wit was the CEO of an investment fund “that has invested in, among other things, technologies for improving energyefficiency in the built environment, which lead to my interest in the residential home building and renovation industry,” he says. De Wit has lived in the Lower Mainland since 1986, when he attended Simon Fraser University for his business degree. He now lives with his wife and daughter in South Surrey.

Plan financial estates through wills

(Make time for Estate Planning 101, The Leader, Nov. 27 ), the first of a two-part series on estate planning, I shared some tips on how you can get started on structuring your estate.

I covered how to establish joint tenancy, naming beneficiaries and ensuring you have life insurance. I also discussed why it’s important that we structure our estate and not assume we are too young, or not rich

enough. In my second installment on this topic, I want to focus on how you can plan your financial estate using a will. Since questions related to the handling of financial assets are

often a major issue and a potential cause of stress for families after a loved one passes, my goal is to provide a quick overview of the process and considerations for addressing this through a will.

Consult with a lawyer or notary A will is a complex legal document in which you lay out exactly what you want done with any assets you own when you die – property, money,

As there are rules that must be followed for the will to be valid, it is recommended that you seek expert assistance from a professional who is well qualified in this area. Taking the time to ensure your will is done right will save your loved ones from unneeded financial headaches later.

Choose an executor you trust You will need to name an executor in your will. This is an individual who will be responsible, by law, for distributing your assets. In other words, the executor has the legal authority to deal with your estate.

Discuss your choice of a guardian with your lawyer or notary when working on your will.

Review and update your will as needed You will need to update your will whenever your financial or personal situation changes. These changes might include the birth of a child or the purchase of new property such as a house. It’s a good rule of thumb to review your will every three to five

In addition to your will, put together a list of bank accounts you e hold, as well as a record d of all your investment l and insurance policies t c and keep it in a safe place, such as a safety C deposit box in your c financial institution. This will go a long way w in helping your execu- s tor locate important a financial documents o quickly. w a Store it safely C You will need to provide your executors with information on where your will is stored and how to access it. So, once your will has been correctly signed and witnessed, have it stored – along with your list of important documents – in a secure place. Consider renting a safety deposit box from your financial institution for this purpose. Given the critical importance of your will in determining financial decisions after death, you want to make sure that it’s protected from fire, flood, damage, or loss. This is perhaps one of the more difficult topics I have addressed in my column. Taking the step to put together a will can be a challenging one because it can force us to confront our own mortality. But we can’t avoid it as it’s a necessary part of planning your finances. If you haven’t yet done so, I hope that this article provides you with the needed background to take that step and book an appointment with your lawyer or notary.

Simon FraSer University

student Michael Cheng, founder of WittyCookie, has won SFU’s 2012 Entrepreneur of the Year (SEY) award, two weeks after netting the Surrey Board of Trade’s student award of the same title. Cheng received the honour during the student entrepreneurial group Enactus SFU’s annual SEY awards competition in Vancouver. He was also selected by attendees to receive the People’s Choice award. He was given Surrey’s student entrepreneur of the year award during its recent Business Excellence Awards banquet and earlier this year, received one of the city’s Top 25 Under 25 awards. Cheng, 23, created WittyCookie, a Vancouver web design company, with a view to making web services more affordable and streamlined for small businesses. “We’ve worked to build amazing websites for hundreds of small business owners who would never have otherwise been able to afford a great site,” says Cheng. While web designers tradition-

Cheng is a student in SFU’s School of Interactive Arts and Technology (SIAT) and a client of SFU’s Venture Connection. Another of its clients, CKM Sports, founded by former inline hockey goalie Ciff Mander, took second place. The sports management firm provides development services

for high school, amateur and junior hockey players. The annual competition targets established businesses within the SFU community. Prior to the competition, applicants complete two rounds of preliminary judging. In the semifinal round, 10 businesses present 20-minute Dragon’s Den style pitches. Four finalists are chosen to compete for access to funding, office space, mentorship, in-kind resources, exposure, and the SEY title. The judging panel for the SFU award is comprised of highly recognized individuals in the local business community and makes its choice based on a number of evaluation criteria, including team background, innovation of the product or service, competitive analysis, financial road map, and overall presentation.

Cash for those in need Kwantlen students raise $8,500 for locals, Africans

Black Press Kwantlen students

Kwantlen Polytechnic University students enrolled in a social justice class brought the theory they’ve been learning to life by raising a total of $8,500 to help empower the deprived both locally and globally. The students raised $3,000 for BC Children’s hospital, $3,500 for the Ghanaian Canadian Association of BC, and $2,000 for Under the Same Sun (UTSS), a non-profit organization that advocates for persons with albinism who are often marginalized, misunderstood and

even killed. “It is my hope that this project will ignite students to realize their place in the global scheme of things and become sensitized to appraise what role they can play in making our global village a little better than it is today,” said Charles Quist-Adade, instructor, Kwantlen Polytechnic University. In addition, the funds have provided scholarships to students in rural Ghana. As part of the first Ghana Field School, scholarships of $100 were given out and an assortment of school supplies, including backpacks, exercise

books, pens, pencils and math sets, were given to 30 students in rural communities from five regions. Kwantlen students also created 15 solarpowered lanterns, which were donated to deprived students in rural Ghana this summer. “Students must keep in mind that their actions, and indeed, inactions, affect all members of the global village in one way or another…just as the actions and inactions of fellow global citizens affect them in many ways directly and indirectly,” said Quist-Adade. Part of the funds

were used to ship donated refurbished computers and laptops, soccer balls and jerseys (totaling more than $700,000) to 35 schools in Ghana. These initiatives have been made possible in collaboration with local NGO’s: Africa Education through Technology (Afretech), CanadaAfrica Foundation for Rural Education (Canafre), the Kwantlen Students Association, the Athletics Department of Kwantlen Polytechnic University and the Ghanaian-Canadian Association of B.C.

Events to counter domestic violence

Delta Opposes Violence Everywhere will be holding sessions until Dec. 8 Black Press A broAd partnership aimed at ending domestic violence is holding several sessions to highlight the growing problem. Delta Opposes Violence Everywhere (DOVE) is a committee of community agencies working together to end violence in relationships. The Dove Committee includes representatives from Deltassist Family and Community Services, Delta Police Victim Services, Delta Police Domestic Violence Unit, Stroh Healthcare, Legal Services Society, Diversecity, Options, Family Justice Services, Delta School District, Delta/Surrey Community Corrections, Boys and Girls Club, Ministry for Children and Families, Delta Mental Health and community member Norma Bastidas. The committee works to end violence in all relationships by bringing about public awareness, as well as working to minimize potential gaps or duplications of services within Delta. The Dove Committee is preparing for the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women. As part of that, DOVE will be holding events until Dec. 8. They include: • Dec. 6 to 7 – Committee members will be hosting displays during student lunch hour in three high schools in Delta in an effort to educate youth on the issues of relationship violence (Dec. 6, Seaquam Secondary; and Dec. 7, Burnsview Secondary). • Dec. 8 – Committee members will be hosting a display at the Ladner Leisure Center, 4600 Clarence Taylor Cr., from 9 a.m. until

1 p.m. where resource materials and support will be available. The DOVE Committee is also continuing with the “Emergency Care Kit Project” for women, men and children leaving an abusive relationship. The nature of an abusive relationship often requires those involved to relocate suddenly without notice for safety reasons. Emergency Care Kits include basic items such as toiletries and other needed items. With the support of the community, the DOVE Committee has been able to successfully meet the needs of families in times of crisis. There is always a need for these short term necessities, so if you wish to donate, visit the Delta Police website at deltapolice.ca/victim services/dove.php or contact Jill Colley at jcolley@deltapolice.ca

Kwantlen remembers Kwantlen Polytechnic University will be holding its annual remembrance of 14 women killed at Montreal’s École Polytechnique 23 years ago today. Dec. 6 has since been marked as a time to remember the prevalence of violence against women. Kwantlen has been holding the ceremonies for years at each of its campuses. Today (Dec. 6 at noon), faculty, students and the public are invited to gather in the courtyard of behind the Surrey campus’s Cedar Building at 72 Avenue and 128 Street. Fourteen candles will be lit to remember the women slain, and another large one to remember all women harmed in violence.

Three separate productions of the Nutcracker ballet highlight the top talent in Surrey and North Delta

The season to get cracking W

North Delta’s Kyla Couper is the Sugar Plum Fairy (alongside Eloi Homier as the Cavalier) in the Royal City Youth Ballet company’s production of the Nutcracker.

by Sheila Reynolds

hen it comes to roles in the Nutcracker, the Sugar Plum fairy character is pretty much the sweetest you can get as a dancer. Just ask Kyla Couper. “It’s kind of like the biggest role. That’s the hardest role to dance,”

she said. The North Delta teen has pirouetted her way to the part in this year’s production of the Nutcracker, presented by Royal City Youth Ballet (RCYB) company. Couper, who trains at Surrey Dance Centre, initially auditioned for the show and landed multiple smaller parts, including snowflake, big Arabian, flower, Spanish girl and mirleton doll. Then those in charge realized she was capable of more. “They saw that I learned really fast… so they wanted to give me an opportunity to see if I could learn the Sugar Plum,” said Couper, who turns 15 next week. “And they were impressed so they gave me some shows.” RCYB stages the Nutcracker annually at various locations in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. The show has already hit stages in Abbotsford and Maple Ridge, and is headed to New Westminster this weekend and to Surrey for five shows Dec. 14-16. This is the second year Couper has been in the comPHOTO SUBMITTED pany’s holiday show, which is set to the music of TchaiSurrey resident Emma Salisbury plays the role of kovsky and follows a girl Clara in the RCYB’s Nutcracker. She’s pictured here named Clara as she dreams with Pedro Vinicius, who plays the Prince. of her nutcracker doll coming to life and taking her on a magical journey. Couper, who’s in Grade 10 at Burnsview Secondary, has been dancing since age four. She trains about 16 hours per week in all styles of dance, including ballet, jazz, tap, lyrical, acro, hip hop and musical theatre. She was in last year’s RCYB production as well, playing multiple roles, but is eager to show her skills in the Sugar Plum role. “I’m so excited.” Other Delta residents in the show include Emma Bavis, Peighton Brown, Mia Pelayu, Talia Langtry, Nicole Piner, Emma Wood and Hannah Wood. Surrey’s Emma Salisbury will also be centre stage in the production, in the main role of Clara. Others from Surrey include Emily Belter, Caitlin Bush, Kristen Charron, Chloe Choroszewski, Sarah Dickson, Chloe Dickson, Angela Doddis, Amy Fontaine, Brea Franklyn, Nicole Hague, Layla Hamnett, Mackenzie Hebein, Desiree Kennedy, Hannah Leowen, Madeleine Martin, Giulia Martin, Rachel Meyerhoff,

Picard, a 12-year-old who trains at Flora Pigeau Dance Academy, is playing the role of Dieter, one of the main character Clara’s brothers. Picard has had a big year, having been to Germany this past October for the International Dance Organization (IDO) World Dance Championships. She has also attended summer programs at Canada’s National Ballet School and Boston Ballet School and has been in the RCYB’s Nutcracker in past years. The Canada Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s Nutcracker will be at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre from Dec. 14-16 at 7:30 p.m., with matinees Dec. 15 and 16 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available at ticketmaster.ca or by calling 1-855-985-2787.

The importance of kindness

a warm welcome Surrey coun. Barinder rasode helps with Tzu chi Foundation Surrey’s recent annual winter relief event at The Front room. Volunteer provided dinner, hot chocolate, jackets, coldweather gear and a bag of personal supplies to the needy.

For Peat’s Sake The BurnS Bog Conservation Society has part-

nered with the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation Delta Chapter to give 63 copies of For Peat’s Sake: A Classroom Study of Burns Bog and Other Peatlands to the Delta School District. Every school will receive two copies of the book, a teacher resource guide to peatlands education at the K-7 grade level. President Eliza Olson presented the books to the Delta Board of Education. The society worked closely with authors Karla Olson and Corinne Issel to create a curriculumfocused resource guide which addresses British Columbia’s Prescribed Learning Outcomes. Drawing upon the society’s 24 years of experience protecting and sustaining Burns Bog, the resource guide is rich with information on the importance of peatlands ecosystems to the global environment, and illustrated by Nicole Skutelnik. School trustees Laura Dixon and Val Windsor thanked the society for its efforts in defending Burns Bog. “When I was a teacher, I actueliza olson ally used one of their brochures as a teaching resource, because there simply wasn’t anything else out there on wetlands ecology,” said Nick Kanakos, a retired teacher. For Peat’s Sake was developed with the help of several scientists, including Dr. Marcus Collier, University College, Dublin, Ireland; Dr. Richard Hebda, Royal Museum, Victoria; and Dr. John Jeglum, retired professor from the Department of Forest Ecology, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Umea, Sweden. The Society is committed to improving awareness of and education on wetlands ecology, and thanks TD Friends of the Environment Foundation Delta Chapter for funding the teacher’s guides for the Delta School District elementary schools.

sented $250 scholarships for the 2011/2012 school year to two North Delta students. The winners are Gurjyot Nirh of North Delta Secondary School who received the Sally McDonald Memorial Scholarship and Sarah Nur Saidy of Seaquam Secondary who received the Vera Sanderson Memorial Scholarship.

couple of years ago, Gerard (children’s names have been changed) used to get into quite a bit of trouble at his elementary school. The Grade 6 student at Jarvis Traditional Elementary School in North Delta admits that he was not the nicest kid, but he has now turned his bullying ways into kindness. “Bullies don’t have friends, but because we focus on kindness, bullies become kind and get friends,” he explained, adding that he is much happier now that he has more friends. Grade 7 student Amir echoed this sentiment. He, too, would have once been considered a bully, but now strives to give back to his school and fellow students. “It feels good. Now I feel better about myself. I don’t see myself as a bully, but as being very helpful,” he said. Both Gerard and Amir are members of Student Leadership at Jarvis Traditional Elementary. The initiative, introduced by principal Ragini Kapil two years ago, strives to empower students by giving them meaningful roles in the school and focusing on the importance of kindness. “We flip the idea to look at the bully as the one who needs help, rather than the victim,” said Kapil. “We help the victim by addressing the bullying, but look to the bully to see what they need – what’s missing in their lives? Lots of times, they are feeling disenfranchised and leadership is a good way to make them feel valid and useful.” “Even from last year it’s changed tremendously,” said Dana Scanlan, chair of the Parent Advisory Council at Jarvis. When Scanlan’s daughter used to come home from school she would sometimes describe situations where children were mean to her. Now, her daughter only ever talks about good things that have happened at school, like a new kid she talked to or a group of children who invited her to play a game with them. This new “vibe of kindness,” as Scanlan described it, can be felt all throughout the school. “They’ve made it very clear that kindness is the way to treat people and you definitely feel it when you walk into the school,” she said. Nicole Pavitt, a parent with an autistic son in the school, agrees with Scanlan. “The kids around here seem to be very kind to each other,” she said, adding that all of the kids know her son’s name and make an effort to play with him and make him feel welcome. As a parent with a special needs child, Pavitt was nervous and scared to send her child to school. The focus on kindness at Jarvis, Nicole Pavitt however, has made a world of a difference for her son, with everyone at the school treating him so well. “It’s been really positive being here,” she said. Gerard agrees that the focus on kindness, which is spearheaded by the leadership students, has made a huge difference at the school. “There used to be bullying, and now that student leadership has started there’s way less bullying. There’s like no bullying this year,” he said. The leadership students at the school are in Grades 6 and 7. The kids are given a wide variety of roles including crossing guards, lunch monitors, office helpers, newsletter writers, environmental team (recycling and composting), and spirit team (organizing school spirit events). Despite the fact that student leadership is voluntary, all of the Grade 7 students and most of the Grade 6 kids are involved. “We are bringing kindness to the forefront and it’s kind of infecting the whole school,” said principal Kapil. Last school year, Jarvis focused on naming and labeling feelings and emotions in order to make students more aware of their own feelings and to understand and gauge how others are feeling.

Tech support for business The Bc Technology Industry Association

(BCTIA) has announced plans to expand its Centre4Growth acceleration program to the City of Surrey and the District of Maple Ridge. The BCTIA Centre4Growth, launched in September 2010, has proven to be a successful delivery model in the growth and acceleration of BC technology companies. To date, almost 300 companies have received coaching from its CEO-in-Residence (CIR) program, with client companies collectively growing their employment by 15 per cent (237 net new jobs), their revenue by 76 per cent ($32 million) and their investment by 24 per cent ($25 million). “Our vision has always been to have Centre4Growth services accessible to tech entrepreneurs across Greater Vancouver and British Columbia,” said Bill Tam, BCTIA president and CEO. “Having the support of Maple Ridge and the City of Surrey as our first two Centre4Growth nodes is a great first step.” Steady population growth in the two cities has resulted in a rapid increase in innovative companies in the area. Companies receiving capacity building support through Centre4Growth grow faster, strengthen the local economy, and support other industries throughout the region with locally developed innovative business solutions. “Providing this type of relevant, practical support to entrepreneurs can bridge the gap between having a great idea and growing a profitable, job generating company,” said Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts.
