or what feels like an eternity, Surrey, British Columbia has been the butt of endless jokes. (What do you say to a Surrey man in a suit and tie? Will the defendant please rise). Long seen as the rough-and-tumble second cousin to Vancouver’s posher persona, Surrey – now home to more than half-a-million people – is beginning to gain some of the respect it has so sorely fought for. A downtown core – the region’s second city centre – is developing along a rapid transit SkyTrain route, which can shuttle people to or from Vancouver in just 30 minutes. Anchor buildings include Simon Fraser University, a major shopping centre, a new architecturally stunning library, Marriott International hotel, a public plaza for gathering, and a new city hall and performing arts centre Kevin Diakiw (under construction). Numerous residential highrises are also on the way. Ironically, the city’s shiny new downtown core is situated in its northernmost community, Whalley, which has long struggled with the social ills of poverty, homelessness and substance abuse.

How much does one Surrey know about the other?

by Kevin Diakiw A RECENT Leader poll of area

residents indicated almost no one from Surrey knows how this city got its name. (Spoiler alert: Surrey was named in 1879, when New Westminster municipal clerk H.J. Brewer gazed across the Fraser River and was reminded of his native land: Surrey, England. See the full story about Surrey’s history on page 15). Several Surrey residents said the city got its name from an aboriginal word, some didn’t know, and one said it was named after “Mr. Surrey.” Many Vancouver residents said this city got its name from somewhere in Britain, with some even able to indicate it was the county of Surrey, just south of London. Patricia Hazelwood (who had a British accent) also noted correctly that the county also has a “Guildford” – just like the City of Surrey does. Hazelwood described Surrey, England as the “stockbroker belt” that is very posh. Grace Shearman, from Vancouver, guessed correctly

this city was named after its British counterpart. She knows Surrey, England to be “where Harry Potter is from.” She said Surrey, England has “as bad a rep as this Surrey (B.C.) has… Not a very nice place.” City of Surrey employee Bryan Tasaka said correctly that Surrey was named after the county in England. His impression of Surrey, England is that it’s pastoral and beautiful, with lots of castles. Former Surrey Coun. Bob Bose said he believed Surrey was named after the county in England, but he couldn’t be sure. Asked what that Surrey was like, he said he didn’t know. “I may have gone through it on my bike once,” said Bose, who served the city for 28 years, some of those as mayor. Current Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts was aware her city was named after the county of Surrey in England. “From my understanding, it’s a fairly affluent part of England,” Watts said. “And very similar in terms of the landscape (as this city).” kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

WHAT DO people in Surrey,

England, know about a city of the same name in Canada? That was a question put to people in Dorking. Teacher and environmental campaigner Sally Elias said: “I have a sister who lives in Alberta in Canada and I haven’t heard of a Surrey there. I’m surprised she hasn’t mentioned it.” Dr. Lois Lodge has worked as an army doctor and for the United Nations, and said: “I’m afraid I haven’t heard of Surrey in Canada.” Former politician, Canon Peter Bruinvels, said: “I thought we had a sort of twinning with Surrey in Canada. “And we definitely have a connection to Canada in Dorking and Canadians do come over here. George Sinclair, who was the MP for Dorking, had a cousin, Margaret, who married Pierre Trudeau, the (former) prime minister of Canada. “This is a truly rural part of Great Britain and Surrey over there has some rural parts as well,” Bruinvels added, and correctly said Surrey, B.C.’s council promotes the area as the City of Parks. Caroline Salmon, a councillor and art gallery owner, said: “My sister lives in Toronto but she did live in Vancouver, and that’s a

fantastic place. But I think around Vancouver there are some tough areas. I don’t think Surrey is quite as salubrious an area there as it is here. “I remember going on the boat from Seattle to Vancouver so I must have gone past it. I’d say at the moment they would know Surrey here better than people here know Surrey in Canada. “And we have roads in Surrey that were built by Canadians. They built Young Street, in Leatherhead, to get tanks around Leatherhead in the Second World War. Real locals call it the Canadian roads. “I do find that part of Canada, around Vancouver and the Rockies, very inspiring for my art.” Salmon’s husband Adrian Taylor, who runs a film and photography company, has a Canadian passport having lived there for more than 20 years, and knows about the other Surrey. “I don’t think it has benefited from the massive improvement Vancouver has in the last 10 years,” he said. “In that part of Canada it feels very British – a lot of the place names are the same and the topography looks more like England than anywhere else I’ve seen in North America, with the residential streets and Tudorstyle houses.” guy.martin@trinitymirror.com

No parole for deadly drunk driver by Kevin Diakiw

Critics of the plan to scrap AirCare testing warn it will mean an increase in heavily polluting vehicles on the roads.

THE WOMAN serving three years for killing Kassandra

LEADER FILE PHOTO

Natasha Warren responsible for death of Surrey’s Kassandra Kaulius in 2011

Kaulius while driving drunk was denied early parole on Wednesday (Nov. 13). Natasha Warren, now 36, struck and killed Kaulius, 22, as she drove home form a softball practice in May, 2011. Warren, who had consumed more than a bottle of wine before getting behind the wheel of her van, was driving an estimated 103 km/h when she collided with Kaulius at 64 Avenue and 152 Street. Kaulius was killed on impact. The parole board asked Warren some pointed questions at her hearing Wednesday, such as why she got behind the wheel, why she called her boyfriend before 911, and why she ran away rather than offer help. At the end of the hearing, the board felt she still didn’t Natasha Warren understand the full impact of her actions and denied her early parole. Members of the Kaulius family, including her mother Markita, were at the parole hearing. Markita Kaulius said she was pleased Warren is being held accountable. Kassandra’s father Victor told The Leader Thursday the family feels no vindictiveness towards Warren, but just wants to ensure the spirit of deterrence is followed. “We were just really happy Kassandra Kaulius that the right thing was done yesterday,” he said. He added it was difficult to listen to the details of the collision again, but said the Kauliuses are a tight-knit clan. “When one of us is hurting, we’re all hurting,” Victor said. “When one of us is happy, we’re all really happy.” Warren said little after her application was officially denied, but the parole board said she can re-apply in one year. Her statutory release date is set for January 2015. ~with files from CBC News

Surrey writer locked out of prison Author Ed Griffin has been told he can’t volunteer in B.C. penetentiaries by Kevin Diakiw SURREY AUTHOR and writing coach Ed Griffin has been locked out of jail. Griffin, an author of several books, poetry, plays and short stories, has been teaching writing to inmates at prisons in the province for years. Founder of the Surrey International Writers’ Conference, Griffin is a local icon in the writing community. As he has in the past, Griffin sent a manuscript – his latest book “Delaney’s Hope” – to an inmate for editing. Officials with the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) didn’t like the content. One chapter portrayed the rape of a young girl.

Griffin is quick to point out he dealt with the subject matter sensitively and didn’t glorify it. CSC officials weren’t impressed. On Aug. 19, Zender Katz, the assistant warden at Pacific Institution in Abbotsford, wrote Griffin saying his clearance to enter the prison as a volunteer was being revoked. “You brought and distributed a manuscript which you were not authorized to bring into the institution; therefore, you were in breach of your volunteer role,” Katz wrote in an Aug. 19 letter to Griffin. “It was especially concerning that the manuscript you wrote, and provided, describes explicit adult sexual interaction with children and sexual abuse details. “Given the nature of our business, regrettably,

I must terminate your volunteer activities at this site and with the CSC.” Griffin believes the problem has more to do with his blog, which is critical of the correctional service, than with his book. He notes that at his appeal, officials noted he writes a blog called “Prison Uncensored,” where he is quite critical of the system. “I sincerely believe that my severance was related to my blog,” Griffin said. Reached by telephone Thursday, Katz said he had no comment, referring the call to the prison’s media relations department. A representative from that department declined comment, citing the privacy act. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

‘My little contribution’ Cloverdale seniors knits doll clothes for African kids by Evan Seal

All of her seven children and 16 grandchildren have been the beneficiary of her yarn work over the years, but currently her goal is to help young children she’s never met. Through her church, Martin’s daughter – who lives in Kingston, Ontario – heard about an organization called The Oneness-HeartTears and Smiles, a humanitarian service group that offers essential supplies and services to the needy throughout the world. The group had previously taken dolls to the children of Africa, and so Jean decided she wanted to provide dresses for the dolls. “It gives me something to do,” says Martin. “I sit and knit.”

JEAN MARTIN, at the

age of 86, is not one to sit idle. She believes everyone should have something to love, and dedicates her time to help others. Sitting in a large leather chair inside her small Cloverdale apartment, Martin operates two knitting needles much like the way a conductor directs an orchestra. With blue and white wool neatly wrapped around various fingers, she effortlessly carries on a conversation without looking at her hands. The ease in which she works speaks to the many years she has been honing her skills.

EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER

Jean Martin figures she has knitted somewhere between 700 and 1,000 sets of clothes for dolls since she started four years ago. She donates the clothes to a charity that sends dolls to children in Africa. Last year, she made more than 150 dresses, and now she

makes shorts and shirts for the boys who want dolls as well. Martin figures she has made somewhere between 700 and 1,000 sets of clothes since she started four years ago. “I take a big shopping bag full when I go visit my daughter every year, and then I knit 20 or 30 while i’m there visiting, as well.” Each outfit takes a day or two to knit, depending on how she’s feeling. She’s even found a pattern for miniature roses that can be put in the dolls’ hair along with a small shoulder bag she stuffs with a miniature shawl. Recently, she has started to find wool at the second-hand store or even donations from friends. Sitting on a small table in the corner of her apartment is a photograph of a young girl holding one of the dolls sent to her from one of the orphanages. “I get real pleasure out of doing it,” she says. “So many children over there (in Africa) have nothing and this is just my little contribution.”

Event raises $83K Car dealer pledges to donate $100K for typhoon relief by Evan Seal RESIDENTS OF Sur-

rey opened their hearts and their wallets on Thursday night in support of the people of the Philippines. After seeing the devastation left in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan, local car dealer Sukhi Bath organized a concert at the Grand Taj Banquet Hall Nov. 14 to raise funds for the Canadian Red Cross. Bath, who spent $23,000 of his own money to host the event, said the evening was a tremendous success. “It went very well, it was way more than I was expecting,” said an excited Bath, who was able to sell 1,200 ticket to the aid concert. Although $82,122.84 was raised throughout the night, Bath has his sights set even higher. “I will make one more request to my community,” he said, “If I can’t get any more money I will guarantee I will write them (the Canadian Red Cross) a cheque for $100,00.”

POLICE BRIEFS

22nd murder for Surrey

by Kevin Diakiw

A PERSON was found

murdered in Surrey Monday morning, making this year’s body count an all-time record for the city. A person of unknown identity or gender was found dead outside a residence near 99 Avenue and 120 Street. It brings to 22 the number of murders in Surrey this year, topping the 2005 record of 21. In 2005, police said they were dealing with a large number of violent drug-related offenses, with meth manufacturers and marijuana growers

becoming violent. Staff Sgt. Brian Cantera told The Leader eight years ago that investigators would like to see laws that make it easier to go after dealers by getting phone records faster and making it simpler to seize proceeds of crime. Today, Surrey RCMP say the majority of murders are gang-related or due to a high-risk lifestyle. Nonetheless, out of the 36 files the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) is handling this year, 21 of them are in Surrey, representing 58 per cent of IHIT’s caseload in the region.

Teen hurt in hitand-run

A 14-YEAR-OLD girl has

been released from hospital after being struck by a car while in a crosswalk. After hitting her, the driver took off. The Surrey teen was crossing at a marked crosswalk at 75 Avenue and 140 Street on Friday when she was struck, and suffered leg and head injuries. She was treated in hospital and released the following day. Witnesses described the suspect vehicle as an older Toyota, possibly a

Corolla, brown or gray in colour. It was last seen heading northbound on 140 Sreet at a high rate of speed. Witnesses described the driver as a male. Thevehicle will have front-end damage. Surrey Mounties are asking the driver to turn himself in. Surrey RCMP are asking anyone with information to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

FARM LANDS

RAESIDE

ALR: Changes in store

he provincial cabinet is considering major revisions to the way agricultural land decisions are made. A leaked cabinet document calls for rolling the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) into the ministry of agriculture, with some of its functions taken over by the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission. It is important to emphasize that this is not a call for an end to the Agricultural Land Reserve. The ALR started with a land freeze in 1972 by the NDP government of Dave Barrett, and has proven to be a popular policy with B.C. voters. No subsequent government has changed it. However, there is a suggestion that the ALR be split in two. One section would take in most parts of the interior, and the other would include land in the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island and the Okanagan. The way decisions have been made about the ALR has changed on many occasions. At one time, the provincial cabinet’s environment and land use committee had the final word on whether land stayed in the ALR, despite the ALC decision. One of the most controversial cabinet decisions involved the Spetifore lands in South Delta, which 32 years later, remain a subject of great controversy. Delta council last week approved plans for that property – which would see 950 residential units built and 80 per cent of the land preserved and actually farmed for the first time in years. The proposal will now go before Metro Vancouver for approval within the regional growth strategy. At other times, the entire land commission board made decisions on exclusion from the ALR. In more recent years, this has devolved to regional panels. For the most part, the panels have worked well, although some ALC decisions make little sense. There is some justification for updating the way land use decisions are made. For one thing, they should not be subject to any political pressure – local or provincial. That was the original intent of the Barrett government and that aspect of farmland preservation remains the best way to go. There is also some justification in treating applications in the Peace River district, where oil and gas is a big industry, differently. There is no shortage of agricultural land, nor are there any urbanization pressures. There should be a way that land can be farmed without hindering the oil and gas industry. This seems to work well in Alberta, where multiple uses of land are common. – Black Press

y late father used to say that if he ever won the lottery, he would “farm until it’s all gone.” It was 1960 when he and my mother pulled up stakes in the Okanagan, where their families had been for generations, and moved north to carve a homestead out of a half section in the Peace River country. So it’s a mainly northern perspective that I bring to the latest debate over B.C.’s Agricultural Land Reserve. A dialogue of the deaf has been going on for decades in B.C., where there are two separate realities in agriculture. The dominant voice is always from the southwest, from the Okanagan to the Fraser Valley to southern Vancouver Island. This is not only B.C.’s most productive land, it’s also the place of greatest population and development pressure, where three million of the province’s four million residents live and more arrive every day. In the rest of the province, except for pockets that are attractive for recreational development, farming is a tough row to

takes a loss of $150,000 or more. That’s why the removal rule is routinely ignored in rural B.C., Hanoski said. These second homes are the only rental stock there is, providing modest income for marginal farms, and should be allowed permanent foundations. Motion defeated, after a scolding from a Sunshine Coast delegate about people lusting to build mansions on farmland. I asked Bill Bennett, the cabinet minister in charge of the latest agricultural land review, about a rumoured proposal to split the province into two zones with different rules. He declined to comment, but described the case of Fort Steele Farms, the East Kootenay community’s only market garden that almost closed because the next generation was initially refused permission for a second home. The two zones approach deserves serious consideration. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

Port Mann toll policy is bad business No coal – THE TOLLS for the new Port Mann and

Golden Ears Bridge leave me wondering if anyone involved with this decision has ever been in a business of selling products. Why sell something for $3 apiece and move only 10 a month when I can sell something for $1.50 a piece and sell 100 of them a month? I make way more selling a 100 a month because my money comes back sooner and my purchase price goes down from the volume.

Wal-Mart has become the largest retailer in the world with this type of strategy. Just as that retailer would open more checkout aisles to accommodate the extra volume, keeping HOV lanes in effect while the construction is carried out only adds to the congestion, and pollution. I believe that eliminating or temporarily ending HOV lanes would not only reduce congestion and pollution, it would also reduce the amount of accidents from the people trying to make it in or out of the

HOV as fast as they can. In the end, we all are going to pay for the shortfalls these tolls are creating, because the contracts signed with the company that runs this is guaranteed a certain amount each year. Any shortfall will be paid by the very same taxpayer that refuses to pay the high tolls imposed by our government. Brad Anderson Surrey

Mounties or municipal?

RE: “MORE TALK of regional police,” Nov. 12. In the above noted article, Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said his city is still considering pulling out of the RCMP and launching its own municipal force. This seems to be because of the higher cost of officers. He mentioned they were told to budget $1,200 for each officer in their detachment due to the shared cost of the newly opened RCMP “E” Division headquarters in Surrey. A recent report shows that Richmond currently spends less per citizen on policing compared to cities with independent municipal police services. Richmond RCMP was 34 per cent below its independent municipal force. RCMP member’s salaries increased by six per cent from 2008 to 2012, whereas salaries increased by 14 per cent for municipal forces. The same Surrey Leader issue stated Surrey plans to increase taxes by $113 on the average home with an estimated value of $643,600. This included the cost of 12 new police officers. Let’s compare the cost of the RCMP versus municipal/regional policing. The Vancouver Police Department has 1,450 members with a smaller geographical area and almost the same population as Surrey, which has only 650 members.

ferent times of the day and night. The RCMP have no union and are not required to follow these levels, thus there are fewer officers per detachments. Should Surrey decide to switch to a municipal force, it could mean an increase of 800 members (this does not include the replacement of those

members that would remain with the RCMP). There would be a loss of the 10-per-cent federal funding right off the top, along with added costs of training, uniforms, equipment, benefits, support staff as well as external cost such as lab services, air support, etc. One has to ask, what would be the

true total cost? The mayors of Richmond, Coquitlam, Langley, Burnaby and North Vancouver should rethink changing to a municipal/regional police force, and stop playing a shell game with the true costs. J. Edwards Surrey

Ford for Senator? Good service at Shaw CAN YOU imagine what Prime Minister Harper and his Con-

IT’S UNFORTUNATE letter writ-

servative henchmen would be saying if Toronto’s mayor was a disciple of the Liberal or NDP philosophy? John Baird for one would be banging his fists and maybe both shoes on the pulpit of pious indignation while bellowing for a public crucifixion. Cock your ear towards Ottawa and listen to the current Conservative commentary. The silence is deafening. On second thought maybe they’re not being hypocritical. Perhaps Harper’s gang does have an ounce of compassion for others, providing of course they are of the Conservative persuasion. It’s too bad for Rob Ford that Mr. Harper has suddenly become gun-shy about appointing colourful Conservatives to the Senate. Lloyd Atkins Vernon

ers Geoff Moxon and Jane Stevens (“Held hostage on the phone,” Nov. 5) have had negative experiences with Shaw. Many others are probably experiencing similar frustrations. However, I’ve found Shaw to offer a “call back” service with an estimated time for the call back, so a person can get on with whatever it is for the time being without being “held hostage” as Jane Stevens experienced. In my opinion, Shaw’s service has been extremely good and reliable in all aspects to any problems I’ve encountered. Furthermore, there is an added feature called

“Shaw friends” where members can enjoy discounts on special offers, win trips to exclusive events, special event tickets and other goodies as well. I’m not a spokesperson for Shaw, but there was a time I was a critic and had a terrible attitude towards them. Because of their improvements and changes for the better, I now think they’re a very good service provider at this point. As for Mr. Moxon’s suggestion that “we all migrate to some service provider that really cares,” whom would he suggest other than Telus or Shaw? Brian Batke, Cloverdale

under any proposal

I HEARD SURREY council voted

to turn down the coal shipment proposal as a first step. It wants an environmental assessment report before a final decision. I thank the mayor and councillors for the first rejection. In my view it needs to be voted down again. Regardless of promises to virtually eliminate coal dust by coating, I believe in practice it can not be relied upon. Coal dust will remain. It is like water flowing over a rock. You can’t see the rock being eroded. But in time it gets eroded. You won’t necessarily see the micro-particles being breathed in, but in time they will accumulate in the lungs – not to mention coal dust on the area grounds. I don’t care if it will meet some artificial standard. We have a choice between no coal dust, as is the case now, and a certain finite amount. The overriding simple question is: Why did the U.S. coastal states turn the proposal down? I am a pragmatic guy when it comes to the environment and jobs. In this case I would turn the proposal down again even if it involved 10 times as many (250) jobs for this trans-shipment of coal. Dave Bains Surrey

On hold for hours

I WOULD LIKE to comment

about the “Held hostage on the phone” letter, The Leader, Nov. 5. The other day I got put on hold for four hours. I had a headset on, so I laid on the couch. Letter writer Jane Stevens commented that the companies say your call is important to them. I had no TV for that time, so I feel that I should get some type of a discount on my bill. They say no. I am very angry with being held hostage as well. It is like they don’t think we have better things to do than waiting four hours. Ruth Reiter Surrey

will embark on its own research into the environmental risks from Kinder Morgan’s proposal to twin the Trans Mountain oil pipeline even though some local politicians warn it may be a costly duplication of effort. Metro’s environment and parks committee voted Thursday to echo Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew’s concerns about the project, particularly the potential for a spill

into Burrard Inlet. Directors also voted to have regional district staff conduct a preliminary review of marine and air quality risks from the expected five-fold increase in the number of tankers carrying oil from the Burnaby terminal. Kinder Morgan is expected by year end to file its formal project application with the National Energy Board (NEB) to build a second pipeline that would nearly triple oil-moving capacity to 890,000 barrels per day. Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters was among the directors who were concerned the review could evolve into a major investment of Metro staff time and money. “I’m concerned a bit at the scope of this,” she said. Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman, who sits on the committee but

a political statement than anything else.” Air quality and environment planning director Roger Kwan said a detailed risk analysis isn’t possible until Kinder Morgan files more specifics with the NEB. Kwan said the aim will be to ensure Metro is well armed to influence or advise the NEB on issues

that are a concern to the regional district. Metro will also have to decide whether or not to seek intervenor status at the future Kinder Morgan pipeline hearings. Drew, meanwhile, has exchanged a flurry of letters with Kinder Morgan officials and says he’s still not satisfied with their answers, particularly regarding the response to the 2007 spill from the Trans Mountain pipeline in Burnaby that released 250,000 litres of oil, some of which reached Burrard Inlet. He says the cleanup response was slow and containment booms put on the water in the inlet failed to fully contain the escaped oil. Summer weather, daylight and the proximity of response vessels all made for ideal conditions, Drew said in an Oct. 31 letter to the company, “yet there was still a considerable amount of unrecovered fugitive oil that contaminated the beaches of Burrard Inlet.” Drew has also raised concern about tanker lights and noise, the size of the proposed new three-berth loading terminal, and the risk of earthquakes that could rupture the pipeline and trigger a hard-to-contain land-to-sea spill, possibly in conjunction with a landslide near Burnaby Mountain. Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson a week earlier told a Vancouver business audience the risk of earthquakes is being studied closely but seismic reviews so far indicate Burnaby Mountain is “one of the most solid, secure rock bases in the Lower Mainland.” He also told reporters the steady improvements in leak detection, valve shutoff and other technogies that would come with a new $5.4-billion pipeline would actually reduce land-based spill risks. “It’s safe today, the overall infrastructure will be safer later,” Anderson said. While much focus is on the risk of tankers sailing through Burrard Inlet to and from the existing Burnaby terminal, Richmond Coun. Harold Steves said he wants Metro to keep a wary eye on the potential for Kinder Morgan to switch to an alternate oil terminal near the mouth of the Fraser River if opposition to more tankers sailing past Vancouver proves too fierce.

No bonuses for ferry bosses New pay structure ‘bait and switch’ says NDP by Jeff Nagel IT WON’T BE called a

bonus any longer, but BC Ferries executives will take home almost as much money as they do now after a switch to a salary holdback plan. After months of promises by Transportation Minister Todd Stone to fix the controversial bonuses, the corporation announced Wednesday they’ve been eliminated retroactive to April 1, 2013. In their place is a new salary holdback system that raises the base salary of executives by the four-year average of their recent bonuses. Part of the new higher base salary will be held back, starting next April, and be paid out only if performance targets are met. BC Ferries’ board chair Donald Hayes said the plan is in line with the province’s guidelines for executive compensation at Crown corporations. But critics aren’t impressed. “It’s bait and switch,” NDP leader Adrian Dix said. “This is a bonus scheme by another name. I don’t know why the premier thinks people will be fooled by this.” BC Ferries Executive Vice-president and Chief Financial Officer Robert Clarke received a $133,000 bonus this year on top of his base salary of $297,300, for total pay before pension contributions of $431,000. Under the new system, his maximum salary will rise to $403,000, assuming he meets targets and isn’t subject to any holdback. CEO Michael Corrigan’s base salary rises from $364,000 to $425,125 and he is forecast to get the identical overall compensation of $563,000 in 2014 after pension contributions and other benefits are added. The corporation said a holdback plan for other managers wasn’t feasible so their base salaries will be raised by the fouryear average of bonuses, which will no longer be paid. Hayes also announced a two-year pay freeze for all executives and managers until 2016. “A two-year pay freeze is meaningless when you’re overpaying so dramatically,” said Canadian Taxpayers Federation B.C. director Jordan

Bateman, who pointed to the much lower salary of $165,943 paid to the CEO of Washington State’s ferry system. “I’d call this baby steps

but that might be insulting to babies.” Bateman said no executive should get a bonus or a holdback repaid in years where

BC Ferries raises fares or takes more money in provincial subsidies. “That should be a deal breaker on bonuses and holdbacks.”

The proposed Newton Business Improvement Association (NBIA) could serve that purpose. On Tuesday, Surrey council endorsed a plan allowing the use of $33,600 in start-up funds for the new NBIA. To establish a business improvement association – which would charge an annual fee to its members – at least half the businesses must approve. Polling done by the city indicates that of 102 property owners asked, 90 per cent approved of the establishment of a BIA, and 81 per cent were still in favour when asked if they were told of the levy. The charge for a business valued at $350,000 would be $300 annually. Council has asked staff to bring forward a bylaw creating the NBIA.

We knew it was going to take one chance and if we scored it might open things up a little bit.” Kovacs, a third-year midfielder, was one of five Spartans named to the tournament 11 all-star team and also earned 2013 championship Most Valuable Player honours. “I’m speechless right now,” said Kovacs, a 2013 CIS all-Canadian. “Especially winning backto-back it’s pretty fantastic right now.

What’s in a name? Surrey (B.C.) owes its handle to a homesick city clerk by Kevin Diakiw

n the latter half of the 1800s, New Westminster municipal clerk H. J. Brewer gazed at the land across the churning, muddy Fraser River and was reminded of his native home in the United Kingdom. The county of Surrey was 7,850 kilometres (4,700 miles) away, situated across the Thames from Westminster, England. “Due to the geographic similarity of this district to that of County Surrey in England, in relation to Westminster, I suggest it be named Surrey, British Columbia,” the city clerk is quoted as saying at the time. The proposal was in keeping with tradition. Queen Victoria had named New Westminster (also known in B.C. as the Royal City) after England’s Westminster. Brewer’s idea was adopted, and the large expanse of land – 316.4 square kilometres – spanning from the river to the U.S. border – would be known as Surrey from 1879 onward. Prior to that, First Nations had lived on the land for more than 6,000 years, establishing permanent villages and seasonal settlements at Crescent Beach and along the Fraser and Little Campbell Rivers. After becoming incorporated in 1879, early commerce in the municipality included farming and logging.The population of Surrey was only 35 at the time, but that was about to change.

Sound familiar? Guildford in England has a counterpart here.

LEADER FILE PHOTO

Surrey officially became a city in 1993, and its current logo proclaims the future lives here. The history of Surrey’s name, however, spans nearly 7,900 kilometres and stretches back to 1879.

Surrey officially became a city in 1993, and breakneck development and booming population growth would be the mantra for the latter part of the 20th century. Town centres – commercial hubs with surrounding residential properties – popped up, at least one with a with familiar British name: Guildford. Others were named after early settlers – Newton, Whalley and Fleetwood – while two more (South Surrey and Cloverdale) were named for their geography. Surrey eventually became known as a suburb of Vancouver, which is about 45 minutes away by car. By 2013, Surrey had a population of just over 500,000 – with 1,000 new residents arriving every month, making it the fastest-growing large city in Canada. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the nine-member city council is development-friendly, making that expansion all the more possible. Some of Surrey’s current challenges come with its rapid growth. They include providing adequate services, such as schools, hospitals, and transportation, to match the burgeoning population. Crime has long been a problem, however, the city has made a large investment in policing. With more than 600 members, the Surrey RCMP force is the largest detachment of Royal Canadian Mounted Police in the country. And Surrey council recently visited England to glean ideas for devising a Crime Reduction Strategy, which includes the creation of community courts and the installation of closed circuit TV cameras in high-crime areas. On the education front, with the massive influx of population, accommodating the 70,000 students is a long-standing challenge. The city’s 99 elementary schools and 19 high schools are bursting at the seams. Portable classrooms are a common sight on many school grounds to create extra places for learning. However portables aren’t ideal; they are located away from the main school building and often lack their own washrooms. But the population of Surrey just keeps growing, due in part to prohibitively expensive land throughout the rest of Metro Vancouver.

As such, one of the biggest industries in Surrey is residential, commercial, institutional and industrial development, with construction values topping $1 billion annually over the past several years. A key challenge for city council is maintaining environmental stewardship while providing enough recreation centres, libraries an other amenities for its citizens. Surrey is blessed in that one-third of its green space is protected from development, as it is designated Agricultural Land Reserve, which is protected by the province. Moving forward, there are demographic-based issues to address. In addition to having a population where nearly half (43 per cent) speak English as a second language, Surrey is also home to B.C.’s biggest group of seniors and largest number of young people under 19 years old. Surrey also has one of the largest populations of refugees. That means that not only does Surrey need to create and deliver effective multicultural and elder care programs, but the city must also provide more sports fields and recreation services than most cities of the same size. With estimates indicating that by 2041, one in five people in Metro Vancouver (the 20 municipalities that surround Vancouver) will call Surrey home, the city’s motto seems particularly apt: “The future lives here.”

Surrey (U.K.) is ‘a beautiful place’ by Guy Martin (U.K.)

ccounts of life in Surrey, U.K. go back more than a millennium. The county of Surrey lies south of the River Thames in London. Its name comes from Saxon settlers calling the area Suthrige - or southern region – of their Middle territory, around the sixth century AD.

Prior to 1965, Surrey constituted the area between Kent to the east and Hampshire and Berkshire in the west, stretching from the south banks of the River Thames through central London to its southern border, about 30 or 40 miles from the south coast of England. But the boroughs by the Thames became part of Greater London in 1965, despite some places there retaining names such as Surrey Quays, and the borders of Surrey were moved around a dozen miles south, where the county council offices are still based. Today, the county of Surrey has a population of about 1.13 million.
