SkyTrain public art gets second look TransLink to review spending on installations for Surrey Central, other stations by Jeff Nagel TRANSLINK IS reviewing its practice of spending

Nancy Olewiler

significant sums of money on public art to beautify SkyTrain stations after criticism of its priorities. Board chair Nancy Olewiler defends the concept of paying to put art along parts of the transit system, but says the policy for selecting works and the amounts to be spent is being reconsidered. TransLink has so far approved spending

$615,000 for three public art installations at Metrotown, Commercial-Broadway, and Main Street-Science World as part of Expo Line SkyTrain station upgrades. The transportation authority is also expected to consider art installations for Surrey Central and Joyce-Collingwood stations. “We’re very mindful of the need to pinch every penny,” Olewiler said, adding it’s too soon yet to say if the art pieces already commissioned

are too costly or not. “I’m totally in favour of the concept,” she said, adding she’d incorporate gardens as well if it were up to her. “As we urbanize we want public spaces to be welcoming and accommodating. People want to see that their city isn’t just turned into giant blocks of concrete.”

Police warn of bling bandits Pair is stealing expensive jewelry from women by Kevin Diakiw SURREY RCMP has now joined the hunt for a pair of thieves taking jewelry from women over the last month. On Aug. 13, a heavy-set South Asian or Middle-Eastern woman with gold teeth approached another woman and tried to put some fake jewelry on her. During the exchange, the large woman stole two bracelets from the woman being targeted. The thief then got into a car and took off. Then, on Aug. 30, what is believed to be the same woman Cpl. Bert Paquet approached an elderly Asian woman with a similar scheme, and then took her necklace. Police say the thefts occurred in the Whalley and Newton areas. And on Aug. 31 in North Delta, a 75-year-old woman was unloading groceries from her car when a woman fitting the above description asked her for directions to Surrey Memorial Hospital. Seemingly grateful for the help, the heavy-set woman handed the Delta senior a necklace. When she reached for it, the woman grabbed her other hand and pulled a ring with seven onecarat diamonds from her finger. The thief fled to a waiting vehicle with a man in the driver’s seat, and the pair sped off in the grey, fourdoor car. See RING page 4

$100,000: For giant poodle statue From Page 1

CTV NEWS PHOTO

A seven-foot-tall white poodle on Vancouver’s Main Street –with a $100,000 price tag – was partly funded by TransLink.

Spectacular art has made YVR a wonder of the airport world, she noted. “It makes people much happier waiting for that plane flight,” Olewiler said. “And we want people to be happy on SkyTrain too.” Olewiler, who is also the director of SFU’s school of public policy, argues public art can serve more purposes than just pleasing the eye. She said research by criminologists suggests the addition of public art can help make

crime-prone areas not just more welcoming but also safer and more secure. Olewiler noted municipalities pay for public art all the time. The latest, a $100,000 sevenfoot-tall white poodle statue on Vancouver’s Main Street, was partly funded by TransLink and met mixed reviews. Other prominent pieces include two immense 18-foot bird statues in southeast False Creek. Olympic Village developers covered the $600,000 cost. TransLink’s art policy review began early this spring in response to ongoing manage-

ment-led efforts to cut costs, Olewiler said. Art for the initial three stations had already been approved but there’s no word yet on what designs will be used. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said she thinks most transit riders would rather see the money spent on improved buses and transit, not public art. “It really is totally inappropriate,” Jackson said. “The TransLink people are always crying for money from local government. But on the other hand they’re spending money as if it comes from a bottomless pit.” jnagel@blackpress.ca

Signatures: December deadline Ring: Reward From page 3

From page 3 Similar to the Stop HST campaign, the Sensible campaign has just 90 days to accomplish this feat, which would require an estimated 400,000 signatures. If that target can be reached, the chief electoral officer will have 42 days to verify the validity of the signatures. If that happens, the bill will go to a legislative committee where members can either table a report recommending it be introduced to the legislature, where it could die on the order paper, or refer it back to the chief electoral officer

for an initiative vote, as happened with the HST campaign. That vote would take place Sept. 27, 2014. In order for all that to happen, marijuana advocates will need to join the campaign quickly. “I’m going to be doing everything I can to try and coordinate and delegate to whoever else is in my riding and make sure we get the right number of signatures,” says Mulholland. The campaign officially got underway Monday (Sept. 9), with signature collecting and organizers having until

December to reach their goal. According to a Forum Research poll conducted last week, 36 per cent of Canadians prefer legalization, while 34 per cent are in favour of decriminalization. Another 15 per cent felt the laws should be kept as they are. Marijuana legalization and decriminalization discussions have reached a fever pitch in the Canadian political climate in recent weeks over federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s public admission of pot smoking and his goal to legalize the substance should he become prime minister in the future. For more information, visit sensiblebc.ca

The Delta senior’s family is offering a $5,000 reward for anyone with information that leads to the recovery of the stolen ring. After this series of thefts, police are looking for a man and a woman, both dark-skinned and between 45 and 55 years old. The man has short dark hair and a goatee, and the woman is heavy-set with long, curly dark hair. They are driving a grey, fourdoor sedan. “I’m happy to report so far it’s just victims being overwhelmed and distracted with no violence or threats of violence,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet. “But we definitely want to make sure we catch them before this happens.”

POLICE BRIEFS

Woman badly hurt in Cloverdale crash by Kevin Diakiw

A SURREY woman is in serious, but stable condition after a collision with another vehicle on the weekend. At just after noon on Saturday (Sept. 8), a blue Neon was turning left from Highway 10 onto 177B Street, when a GMC Sierra crashed into it, hitting the passenger side. Police believe speed may have been a factor, but continue to investigate the accident. The drivers of both vehicles were unhurt, but a 46-year-old Surrey resident who was a passenger in the Neon was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries to her head and lungs.

Man shot in North Surrey A MAN is in hospital after being

POT POSITION

Clear the air

RAESIDE

he Surrey Board of Trade’s position statement released last week opposing the legalization of marijuana begs some serious questions. The position has been taken by the board’s 19 elected directors, acting in their mandate as advocates on behalf of the organization’s membership and the business community at large. Granted, marijuana use has acquired hot-button potency in recent days – particularly with the Sensible BC campaign now rolling out and following Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s headline-provoking admission that he, as an MP, has smoked pot. But the board’s position was endorsed in September 2012, following, apparently, extensive research by its Crime and Justice Advocacy Committee. If the issue is as important to the Surrey business community as the board of trade now insists, why didn’t the results of its committee’s hard work deserve public discussion and distribution long before this? Also curious is that while many conclusions are offered in the position statement (published on The Leader’s Letters page on Thursday), none of the documented evidence presented to board directors by the committee is cited directly. The board alleges the Surrey business community has many things to fear, should marijuana be legalized. Among them are impaired job performance, loss of production, disruption of workplaces due to the risk of impaired machinery operators, problems with interpersonal relations in the workplace, and potentially ballooning costs of absenteeism and health programs. If this is indeed the case, then it’s in everyone’s interest that the board share the substantiating research with its membership and the general public. Even though marijuana possession has not yet been legalized for other than medical use – as opposed to, say, alcohol or tobacco, which would seem to share some of these more critical impacts – it should be no news to anyone that pot is already readily available to Surrey workers who choose to use it. And if its use poses serious negative impacts on businesses in a future legalization scenario, these effects must be evident already. Having taken this position, the board is obliged to go further. It could start by outlining the scope of the problem in Surrey workplaces that made this an action item at this time. – Black Press

ocal politicians from across B.C. are in Vancouver Sept. 16-20 to take part in the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) convention. There will be trivia reported as news, such as the cost of hotels. Suggestions to license mobility scooters or lower speed limits to 40 km/h, dreamed up in Vancouver Island retirement locales, will be rejected by delegates from the rest of the province. Serious discussion will revolve around a report by a UBCM executive committee to reshape the financial relationship between the province and local governments. If this proposal gets the support it deserves, Premier Christy Clark’s government will be asked to undo a couple of decades of political meddling in that relationship. One problem for local governments is that they depend on property tax, a stable source of revenue but one that has no relationship to the property owner’s ability to pay. It tends to load costs onto lower-income groups such as seniors and renters. Economic growth results mainly in increased corporate and personal income

Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond, co-chair of the UBCM committee, is concerned about new water and flood protection legislation the province is preparing to impose. His district and others like it have thousands of kilometres of riverfront, with relatively few property owners. Interior communities also want BC Hydro to pay something for power lines, as is now being done with some aboriginal territories. Local politicians will be expecting a sympathetic ear from the new version of the B.C. Liberal government. Former Quesnel councillor Coralee Oakes is the new community, sport and cultural development minister, with direct responsibility for local government issues. And one of the original members of this UBCM committee was former Langley City mayor Peter Fassbender, who is now minister of education.

Surrey/North Delta Leader 7

TransLink Education funding has slipped too far decisions make sense THE DE-FUNDING of education in B.C. usu-

THE RECENT letter claiming it would

take 91 years to recoup the cost for the SkyTrain fare gates has a lot of inconsistencies. First, the $171-million capital cost is for both the fare gates and the system-wide Compass smart card system, not the fare gates exclusively. Secondly, the numbers do add up. There are many monetary benefits to the system aside from just reducing fare evasion, which are explained in the business case document for Compass and the fare gates. You can find this in the document library on TransLink’s website or through a link on my blog at darylvsworld.wordpress.com. Thirdly, with $70 million of the project funding coming from senior levels of government, it’s hard to believe that the project could have moved forward at all if there was no business case and no return for the money. Many of the complaints on Metro Vancouver transit decisions I have seen have been based on large misinterpretations. If more people did their research on Metro Vancouver’s transit “issues” before complaining, they would see that a lot of recent decisions do make sense. I’m looking forward to a better and more reliable transit system once the Compass card system is in full swing.

ally doesn’t get much attention until a crisis threatens to shut down the schools. Then suddenly, everyone takes notice. This time it’s the support workers who, if negotiations fail, will soon be in a position to strike. These folks – secretaries, custodians, maintenance technicians and educational assistants – do work of immense value, yet often get the least appreciation. In my 33 years of teaching, I relied on these people constantly, and was overwhelmed by their professionalism, generosity

and adaptability, often in face of very difficult circumstances. Educational assistants, for example, are required to be experts in all the various barriers to learning which students face. They also must be conversant with all the school subjects and be able to provide discreet assistance to students inside and outside of the classroom. They have to do all this within the educational structure of the individual teacher. Oh, and their students often have behavioural, emotional or medicals issues to go along with their learning difficulties.

Needless to say, it’s a very tough job. And the pay, relative to the required skill level, is absurdly low. “Full-time” is considered to be 25 hours a week. As a result, a “fulltime” educational assistant will make about $20,000 a year. Could you get by on that? The B.C. government has allowed education funding to slip far below the national average. By doing so, they are especially hurting the most vulnerable children, as well as the workers at the bottom of the ladder.

Finding bliss on the B-line

THE INTRODUCTION of the B-line is blissful for Surrey commuters. Surrey is one of the rapidly growing cities in the region that needs more modern links to meet with transportation demand. If TransLink offers easy, affordable, comfortable and reliable service, they will definitely attract more ridership and help to maintain a green environment. The 96 B-line on King George Boulevard is providing express service to people to reach SkyTrain during peak hours. If a similar service is allocated on other major routes, then passengers can reach their destination without wasting valuable time.

A letter writer takes issue with the pot position put forward by the Surrey Board of Trade.

ters, The Leader, Sept. 5. Your entire letter, Ms. Huberman, is directed towards those who would use marijuana at work. But how will legalization cause people to want to be impaired at work? To show up at my construction site impaired would result in immediate removal from site, loss of employment, and possible criminal charges. Would Ms. Huberman suggest that responsible, contributing members of society will suddenly and immediately lose all self-control and risk their livelihoods by getting stoned before work if marijuana was legal to buy in stores like alcohol? According to Ms. Huberman’s ridiculously flawed logic, people who enjoy drinking alcohol recreationally will not have enough discretion to stay sober for work. I mean, if it’s legal then we should be able to drink at work, right? Obviously, a total meltdown of western civilization will follow legalization of marijuana. Give me a break. This letter was a joke, right? Thankfully, people are not as dumb as you think. Your perception of reality, Ms. Huberman, is disturbingly naive and ignorant of all the facts.

Suites fuel the parking mess in East Clayton RE: “EASY MONEY for Surrey,” Let-

ters, The Leader, Sept. 5. I too live in a “nice” part of Cloverdale. Actually it was nice, but seven years later, it is now just a congested mess of parking and inconsiderate neighbours. The letter writer comments that she should be able to rent a spot in front of her home to park. Why can she not park in her garage? That is what a garage is for in this area of Cloverdale (East Clayton) – parking. The number-one problem is the city not enforcing the suite or multiple suite bylaws and the law that one parking spot must be provided for tenants on the properties in East Clayton. And so it goes like this: Owners fill their basements with tenants, their garages with junk

they don’t use, therefore they have to park their cars on the street – all of them. And if they have an outdoor spot at the rear of their lot, they usually selfishly use it for them-

selves when it should be for their tenants. Their tenants are left to park on the streets. People like myself that do not have a suite and that use their two-car garage for what it is for

Extend the B-Line south RE: “PITY the bus stops,” Letters, The Leader, Aug. 27.

The only part of the new 96 B-Line route that was altered was dropping the White Rock portion. TransLink claims it doesn’t have the money to run the full route at this time. As for the stops along King George Boulevard, these were selected as they are transfer points to other bus routes. Not all the stops along King George Boulevard are designed for the 60-foot bus. Maybe stops will be added in the future, but I would prefer to see the extension to White Rock or at least the South Surrey park-andride first. That should be the priority. Jon Argitos, bus driver

– parking cars – are the ones left to suffer if we have more than two cars. If we want to park in front of our home it is a battle to do so in the evenings and on weekends, which is ridiculous. The city should allot one parking spot in front of each owner’s home to the owner, be it for their own use or for their visitors, just as they do in White Rock. Tenants of illegal multiple suites or suites that are not following the suite parking bylaw should not be allowed to take parking away from owners that pay the appropriate taxes. The city needs to enforce the suite bylaws and fix the parking mess they have let go on for so long here in East Clayton. C. Litonjua

TransLink says some cost escalation isn’t unexpected by Jeff Nagel TRANSLINK BOARD

chair Nancy Olewiler says there’s no delay in the expected launch of transit fare gates and Compass cards, but she confirmed the project will go over its $171-million budget. Officials aren’t yet saying how big the cost overrun will be. “It’s going to be a bit higher than initially estimated,” Olewiler said. “There are some additional costs that were not foreseen at the beginning of the project. But it’s to make the system work and these things weren’t known by us or the supplier at the time.” Operating costs have escalated on some fronts, she said, including provision of customer information. Mike Madill, TransLink vice-president of enterprise initiatives, wouldn’t disclose details, saying only the costs of the project are currently being examined as part of a recurring review and more information will be available in a few weeks. “I wouldn’t even say overrun at this point in time,” Madill said. “I would say we’re reviewing the budget and we don’t yet know what that review will show us as to whether or not there’s any adjustment to the budget required.” He wouldn’t say what final project cost estimate was last provided to TransLink’s board.

They say the gates are operational now – although not yet flapping – and Compass cards are being tested in advance of the smart card being made available to the general public in the months ahead. Madill said Compass cards will be made available to small limited groups of passengers starting in late fall, with more being added in stages through the winter and into the spring of 2014, by which time

anyone should be able to get one. The closing of the gates so people can no longer simply walk through and must tap their cards for access should happen sometime in 2014, he said, but timelines may shift depending on what’s learned in passenger beta tests. “We haven’t changed our plan,” he said, adding the strategy has always been to begin with test-

Madill did note the original budget figure was in 2009 dollars and that some escalation by 2013 isn’t unexpected. Both Madill and Olewiler rejected accusations that TransLink has failed to deliver the project on time because the fare gates – labelled “Operational in Fall 2013” – won’t actually be closed and holding back would-be fare evaders until well into 2014.

ing and then use a carefully measured rollout to work out bugs and ensure riders have lots of time to adapt to the changes. Regular tickets and passes will continue to work in parallel with the Compass cards for months before old fare types are phased out and the gates lock. “I think it’s semantics,” Olewiler said. “I don’t view it as a delay. I view this as a logical way to bring in a very large IT

and behavioural change project. We’re going to take the time to get it right.” Asked if TransLink will collect more net fare revenue from passengers by reducing prepaid fare discounts – Compass card users will get just a 14-per-cent discount versus cash fares instead of the more than 20 per cent now provided to FareSaver ticket buyers – Olewiler said that’s not the aim. “It was not the overall intent to raise prices,” she said, adding the system of discounts had to be streamlined and simplified. “Some will pay more, some won’t pay more and some will pay less.” FareSavers are to be eliminated Jan. 1, 2014 but there are concerns that if TransLink sticks to that timeline some riders may have to pay full fare while they wait to get Compass cards. Provincial and federal government contributions cover about $70 million of the budgeted cost of the faregates and smart card system. TransLink originally opposed installing faregates, arguing revenue recouped from fare evaders – up to $7 million a year – would never cover the costs. But the system was mandated by then-Transportation Minister Kevin Falcon and TransLink planners decided smart card payments would bring many advantages.

rey officially became a city, so this year, it marks its 20th birthday. Coun. Linda Hepner was a city staffer in 1993, and helped organize the celebration when Surrey became a city.

One of the biggest changes she has seen over the years has been the huge influx of young people. “We have become the city of choice for young families,” Hepner said Thursday. “We have more people under the age of 19 than anywhere

else in the province. That’s big.” That fact shapes how the city approaches some of its recreational programs, she said. Development in Surrey has also boomed in recent decades. In the 1990s, the municipality’s population was poised to

top 300,000. Since then, Surrey has expanded rapidly, almost doubling its population. Today, Surrey’s population tops 500,000, and the city has experienced several record-breaking years of growth, particularly in the residential sector. The formation of six distinct town centres – Fleetwood, Guildford, Newton, Cloverdale, South Surrey, and Whalley (now more commonly known as City Centre) – was recognized in the Official Community Plan in the early 1990s. These areas have become commercial hubs in Surrey. The year after Surrey’s first birthday, the SkyTrain rolled into town, bringing with it the promise of better connections with Vancouver and other regional cities. Moving forward, Hepner said Surrey needs to be more cognizant of its growing refugee population. That means having services in place to help new Canadians and offering effective multicultural programs. The City of Surrey had planned to celebrate the city’s birthday at its new city hall in City Centre. However, construction on the building is running about a month behind, so Hepner said a celebration will happen at the hall when it’s complete. Over the course of this week, the city will be hosting a contest on its website at www.surrey.ca. Archival photographs from across the city will be posted, and the public is encouraged to log on and guess where the locations are today. Those who guess correctly will have the chance to win prizes.

Fraser salmon fishing resumes Owned by Upper Skagit Indian Tribe

Run size boosted to 4 million; 16 million pinks expected by Jeff Nagel AN IMPROVING run of

sockeye salmon returning to the Fraser River has prompted fishery managers to reopen fishing for other salmon species that had been closed to guard against any bycatch of sockeye. Pacific Salmon Commission officials now estimate around four million sockeye are on track to return. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still below a pre-season forecast of 4.7 million, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much better than a few weeks ago, when salmon watchers feared just two million would return. Recreational angling for chinook, pink and chum salmon is now allowed below Mission, as well as pink and chum fishing above Mission. First Nations also have the go-ahead to fish for chinook, chum and pink on the lower Fraser for food, social and ceremonial purposes. A limited commercial fishery for pinks is also expected. Water temperatures have cooled somewhat from dangerously high levels earlier in the summer but fishery managers still expect 70 per cent of returning sockeye will die on their journey upriver to the spawning grounds. As a result, all of the fisheries are directed to release any sockeye that are caught. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are getting early reports of fish arriving at the spawning grounds in good condition,â&#x20AC;? said Jeff Grout, DFO regional resource manager. The pink run has also been upgraded, from 14 million to an estimated 16 million fish, and that number is expected to

climb further. Fishery officers have been sweeping the river for sockeye poachers. So far 10 boats and 66 nets have been seized with 29 investigations underway that are expected to lead to charges.

A split for the Eagles You p paid at Showcase weekend how much!? #ShouldaUsedVancouver

Junior A hockey team blanks West Kelowna, loses to Vernon by Rick Kupchuk THE SURREY Eagles

started their BC Hockey League (BCHL) season with a win, but finished the Bauer BCHL Showcase weekend with a split of their two games against Interior Division opponents in Chilliwack. The Eagles topped the West Kelowna Warriors 3-0 Friday night at the Prospera Centre, then fell 7-3 to the Vernon Vipers Saturday afternoon. All 16 BCHL teams were in Chilliwack for the Showcase weekend, each playing two games over three days in front of college and professional scouts. Special teams and the goaltending of Victor Adamo earned the Eagles their victory against West Kelowna. The Warriors had a 40-24 shots on goal advantage, but couldn’t put a puck past the 20 year-old Toronto native who earned the first shutout of the young BCHL season. Joseph Drapluk netted the first Eagles goal while on the powerplay midway through the first period. The Warriors dominated play in the second frame, outshooting Surrey 19-7, but fell further behind. Zane Schartz made it 2-0 for the Eagles four minutes into the period. Surrey native Colton

Mackie, in his fourth season in an Eagles uniform, tallied his team’s second powerplay goal with nine minutes to play in the game. The Eagles were two-for-six with the man advantage, and killed off all four shorthanded situations. Surrey ran out of gas Saturday afternoon, allowing four goals in the final 10 minutes of play in a 7-3 loss to the Vernon Vipers. Vernon outshot Surrey 14-6 over the first 20 minutes, but led only 1-0 at the first intermission. Surrey took over in the second period, and with an 18-6 advantage in shots on goal,

pulled even with the Vipers. Braeden Russell tied the score 1-1, then, after former Eagle Demico Hannoun put Vernon back in front, Jonah Renouf scored on an Eagles power play to knot the score 2-2 after 40 minutes. Again the Vipers took the lead early in the third period, but just 55 seconds later, Russell scored from Renouf to tie the game at three goals each. Vernon replied with four goals in the last half of the third period. Trailing 5-3 with two minutes to play, the Eagles pulled netminder Bo Didur for a sixth skater, but the Vipers scored into the open net.

They added another in the final minute of play. Didur, a 16-year-old from West Vancouver, stopped 27 of the 33 shots he faced. Surrey was onefor-four with the man advantage, while the Vipers were one-fortwo on the powerplay. The Eagles will play twice at home against Mainland Division rivals next weekend. The Langley Rivermen visit the South Surrey Arena at 7 p.m. Friday night, while the Coquitlam Express are the visitors Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m. Langley won both of their games on the Showcase weekend, while Coquitlam won one and lost one.

When Michael woke, all he could see were blurry outlines of tubes protruding from his bruised and broken body. It was 2008, and Michael, then 59, had no idea why he was there. The last thing he remembered was riding his motorcycle down the interstate.

A horse conditioner in the U.S., Michael had a comfortable life and retirement savings. All that changed when a horse kicked him in the head. Four days later, he blacked out on the highway from a severe concussion and had a devastating accident. Without insurance, his hospital bills bankrupted him. : < 9 9 , @

Three years later, Michael relocated to Surrey to try working at the racetrack. But his body was too broken, and he soon faced homelessness. He went to the Gateway Shelter run by Keys: Housing and Health Solutions, where he could sleep and have a meal. Keys offered Michael subsidized housing at Peterson Place and has been supporting him in numerous ways since. Michael is grateful for the support and care, and gives back by helping with the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garden. Organizations such as Keys, a non-proďŹ t charity in North Surrey, are supported by the Surrey Homelessness and Housing Society.

If you have already signed up, how has your training been going? I am interested in hearing feedback and providing help to anyone who needs it. I can be contacted via email at Michelle@CORECondition.com if you have any questions at all in preparing your body to perform at its best on race day (September 29, 2013). For those of you who are deep into the run training program please check out the article I am providing this week regarding overtraining and what to watch out for at www.Surrey5k.ca, you will also ¿nd a great healthy snack idea!
