Cities present four rail route options Hundreds attend meeting over proposed relocation of Surrey-White Rock tracks by Tracy Holmes IT WAS standing room only at Tuesday’s community

forum on railway safety, as more than 300 people packed the Pacific Inn in South Surrey to learn more about ongoing research into relocating the train tracks off the Semiahmoo Peninsula waterfront. Four possible options for realigning the tracks – including three that would move the line along routes east of 176 Street – were presented in what was described as an opportunity for public feedback. While the majority of attendees appeared to be in favour of relocating the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) tracks, the possible new routes did not sit well with everyone. Anna Dean said she was “seeing red” at the suggestion to move the Dianne Watts problem from one community to another. “We don’t want your problem in our neighbourhood,” Dean told a panel that included Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts, White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin and City of Surrey staff. “Whatever the alignment is, it will affect another neighbourhood.” See RAIL LINES / Page 3

The cost of electricity is going up. Both residential and commercial customers of BC Hydro learned Monday that a series of rate hikes is on the way.

Bracing for BC Hydro hikes 28% rate increase to cost Surrey School District $1 million over 3 years by Tom Fletcher THE FIRST of a series of BC Hydro rate

increases takes effect in April 2014, adding $8 a month to the average residential power bill. Rate increases of nine per cent next year and six per cent in 2015 are the highest of a series of increases over five years announced Monday by Energy Minister Bill Bennett. The B.C. Utilities Commission will

be directed to set rate increases that total up to 28 per cent over the next five years, then determine what rates are needed for the following five years, Bennett said. Commercial rates are going up the same amount. For the Surrey School District, the hikes will mean a hit of about $1 million over the next three years. Shawn Wilson, chair of Surrey’s Board of Education, said if the core student funding is increased by the

province, the costs could be covered, but that remains uncertain. He said it’s a bit easier for large districts like Surrey to absorb such added costs, but acknowledged many boards would be hurt by the Hydro hikes. “We’ll be able to deal with it… but it’s just one more thing added to the pile,” Wilson said, noting the district already had to find $5 million to cover raises negotiated See HYDRO / Page 4

Possible Alignments

From page 1 While the idea of relocating the tracks is not new – it has been raised many times in recent decades – the cities’ officials said, and many attendees agreed, the time to push for making it a reality is right. “There is a much faster, safer and viable route available,” Baldwin told the crowd, to applause. “If we were starting from scratch, the present route would be the last we would take.” The issue of the line’s safety has been in the forefront in recent months, following recent derailments in other areas of the country and the July death of a White Rock jogger who was struck by a passenger train. Baldwin announced plans for the forum at last week’s White Rock council meeting, explaining it stemmed from discussions with Watts. Watts contacted Baldwin in August to invite his city’s participation in Surrey’s efforts. Watts said 15 of the 19 kilometres of rail line eyed for re-alignment run through Surrey. From the border, it passes through the Douglas area, along four kilometres of White Rock’s coastline, then through Ocean Park and Crescent Beach before heading across Mud Bay and joining the main line at Colebrook Road. Watts cited a number of studies since 1995 that have looked at the feasibility of moving the rail line, the most recent of which was commissioned in 2002. Surrey staff revisited that Delcan Report this past June, and “realized very quickly that we needed to resurrect” the effort, she said. Watts said a memorandum of understanding signed last year for high-speed passenger rail service between Vancouver and Seattle further supports the argument. “As I looked at that I felt, ‘you’re going to have a problem’, ” Watts said. “This current alignment Dianne Watts will not support that in any way, shape or form.” She said safety issues with the existing route include population growth in the area; slope stability and erosion that increases the risk of landslides; pedestrian risk; access; and the transportation of dangerous goods. Predictions of a two-metre rise in sea level, and more wet weather must also be considered, she said. Watts noted rail traffic along the corridor has increased by “about 1,000 per cent” since 2004, to 21 trains per day from two. Realignment is estimated by the cities to cost $350-450 million. One option presented Tuesday parallels King George Boulevard and Highway 99, and would see the line tunnelled between 16 and 36 Avenues. Two of the three options for east of 176 Street are envisioned as largely elevated routes. One attendee at the meeting asked Watts to “dig in your high heels” to help move the concept forward. Potential benefits of realignment highlighted during the evening included travel-time savings of more than 30 per cent and the opportunity to repurpose the corridor for community recreation. “At the end of the day, if this can move forward… this will really be something that the community will treasure forever,” Watts said. A survey to collect feedback on the project is online at cityspeaks.ca/saferail

“At the end of the day, if this can move forward... this will really be something that the community will treasure forever.”

Four options for relocating the BNSF rail line off the White Rock-South Surrey waterfront were presented at a community meeting Tuesday.

Cloverdale wary of plan by Jennifer Lang WILL CLOVERDALE be asked to

take more trains to benefit White Rock and posh South Surrey neighbourhoods like Ocean Park and Crescent Beach? That’s the question Cloverdale residents are asking after the mayors of White Rock and Surrey revealed they’ve been privately talking for months about the possibility of rerouting the BNSF railway away from the waterfront. “Seems like this is caving to the rich folks,” Ginger Hartman writes on The Cloverdale Reporter newspaper’s Facebook page. Advocates of the plan cite the recent Lac-Mégantic oil disaster,

the push to increase coal shipments, the death of a jogger hit by a train in White Rock, the slide-prone escarpment in Ocean Park and the state of a crumbling railway bridge over the Little Campbell River for Donna seeking what they call Passmore a safer route. And they say clearing trains and the railway off the waterfront would open up an ocean-side promenade from White Rock to Crescent Beach, and beyond to Tsawwassen. Donna Passmore, campaign director for the Farmland Defence

League of B.C., said her group would “go to war” if rerouting the tracks meant alienating farmland. But Passmore – a White Rock resident – said that if the plan involved rerouting trains via existing rail connections in the Fraser Valley, rather than building a new right-of-way through Surrey farms, she’d support removing the waterfront railway to reduce the risk of a spill contaminating the ocean. “If we can move the trains without further destruction of farmland or the environment, it must be done and done quickly.” editor@cloverdalereporter.com

It comes after outgoing city manager Murray Dinwoodie announced his retirement in August. Dinwoodie had been doing the job since 2007. At 58, he said he felt it was time to spend more time with his family. Watts described Dinwoodie as a phenomenal leader and said that’s what the city would be looking for in a replacement. The mayor said Wednesday

that’s what it got in Lalonde. “Vince has been with the city a very long time, he’s got excellent leadership skills and the ability to really problem solve and bring people together,” Watts said. Lalonde has been the general manager of engineering for the last five years. Prior to that, he was manager of drainage and utilities with the City of Surrey. Lalonde begins the new position Feb. 1, 2014.

for a four-per-cent Hydro increase next year ($350,000). The city just found out it will be 6.75-per-cent hike over the year, leaving Surrey $250,000 short. That shortfall will be absorbed into operations, staff say. Coun. Tom Gill, chair of the city’s finance committee, said Surrey will manage, but it’s getting exceedingly more difficult to deal with all the downloads of responsibility from senior levels of government, including social housing and health care. “We have been challenged with many cost pressures that we continue to encounter,” Gill said. Bennett said that rate increases are being kept low by using a “rate smoothing” account that defers more than $1 billion of the utility’s debt. That account won’t begin to be paid down until after 2020. BC Hydro CEO Charles Reid said the latest rate increases are driven mainly by a large increase in capital spending, including seismic refits of old dams at Campbell River and

Ruskin, turbine expansions at two Kootenay power dams and other upgrades. BC Hydro’s “big build” era of 1973 to 1982 produced rate increases totalling 113 per cent. BC Hydro cited an annual survey by Hydro Quebec that shows BC Hydro customers currently pay the third lowest rates in North America. Montreal and Winnipeg customers pay less, and Seattle and Miami residents pay slightly more. NDP energy critic John Horgan said Bennett avoided the impact of private power purchases on BC Hydro’s rate increases. “We’re going to have increased debt for the next five years,” Horgan said. “They’re going to continue to take a dividend from a company that can’t afford to pay one, and the consequences for people are going to be higher costs.” Bennett said the 10-year plan calls for the government to “wean itself off ” dividends from the utility, but the five years of reductions don’t start until 2018.

Cities had complained for months of intense pressure to sign on to Multi Material BC, which aims to amalgamate municipal recycling services.

MANY B.C. city councils

are voting this week on whether to sign on to Multi Material BC’s recycling system after the industry stewardship organization made more concessions to address municipal concerns. Cities face a Nov. 30 deadline to decide whether they will accept incentive payments from MMBC to act as recycling contractors in the new system, even though there are still concerns the money won’t fully cover municipal costs. The alternatives are to let MMBC launch its own blue box recycling collection with new contractors – replacing the municipal system – or to opt out and keep running the current pickup system without any contributions from MMBC. Cities had complained for months of intense pressure to sign without knowing the full ramifications of the shift to an industrycontrolled recycling system – at one point they had been told they would be frozen out for at least five years if they opted out. Now cities that opt out will get a chance to reconsider and sign on with MMBC in early 2015. Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner, chair of a working group on the issue for B.C. municipalities, said that concession lets concerned councils “take a deep breath” and watch how the changes unfold in other cities over the next year before deciding if they want to join. “Each local government can now make its own decision without feeling pressured that there’s a significant loss if they don’t make that decision immediately.” Cities can also now cancel the MMBC

contract on six months notice. Hepner also credited MMBC with spelling out more clearly how it will levy penalties on cities – as a last resort only – for repeatedly delivering packaging and printed paper that is too heavily contaminated with other materials. Cities previously feared contamination fees might devour all their revenue. Hepner said it’s “disappointing” glass won’t be accepted in blue boxes under the new system – households will be expected to instead take all glass jars and bottles to depots. Surrey voted on the MMBC offer in a closed council meeting earlier this week and the decision won’t be announced until next week. Also still deciding are Richmond and Vancouver councils. Burnaby, Nanaimo and Smithers are among the latest municipalities to sign on with MMBC. The producer pay system mandated by the provincial government makes companies that generate or distribute packaging and printed paper responsible for the full costs of its collection and recycling effective next May. Small businesses have also been alarmed that they will have to register as stewards and be saddled with onerous reporting duties and high costs of supporting the system. Canadian Federation of Independent Business spokesman Mike Klassen said the organization is lobbying for higher exemption thresholds so as few small businesses as possible are subject to the new rules. MMBC so far has agreed to exempt businesses that generate less than a tonne of packaging per year and have

As for Telus – although I don’t experience many problems with Telus services (outside of an annoying crackling telephone line during rainy periods), I have always received prompt and courteous service. I hope customers for Shaw utilize the options provided (i.e. a call back). I use the payment by

phone option as well. I have never had any problems that can’t be resolved by their courteous and helpful staff. This is about giving credit where credit is due. For the record, I am not a Shaw employee, nor am I associated with anyone employed by Shaw or Telus, however, I am a longtime customer of both companies. Donna Bond Surrey

Surrey student urges generosity in wake of Typhoon Haiyan I SHARE MY deepest sorrow

and sincere sympathy with the Filipino community after the powerful typhoon tragedy in which thousands of people were killed. It is believed one of the worst typhoons in the world’s history. Wind speed was unbelievable at more than 315 km/h and caused major devastation and destruction. Tears rolled from my eyes while I watched news on how the natural calamity damaged the life, property, and belongings of people in the Philippines – snatching loved ones and making human beings helpless. Every natural disaster can cause human misery, but humanitarian aid can play a valuable role in providing comfort and alleviating agony. Canadians and people around the globe are offering all kinds of assistance to the Philippines. At this critical time, each of us should take part in this generosity, be helpful to the Filipino community and do whatever we can do according to our ability. Efforts should be accelerated to ensure all assistance reaches those in need on time. Let’s extend whole-hearted support and create hope and inspiration in the Philippines

approaching, this means one thing: the biggest retail expenditure of the year is also coming. People will start to get really excited, and then get really stressed. But what if this year, we don’t let the holidays stress us out? What if we get back to what really matters this year and spend our time with those we love, instead of spending our money on material items that may be thrown to the back of a closet by Boxing Day? This year, I propose that we cut the chains on the expecta-

for finally ditching those ghastly Christmas street decorations that the residents of Newton near 72 Avenue and King George Boulevard were subjected to for the past few years. It was unfortunate that Newton got the bargain basement, closeout decorations in the first place, but better late than never. The new decorations are a huge upgrade from the old ones and now I don’t have to drive to Whalley to see some attractive decorations.

Friends of the Earth is challenging us to “Cut the Chains,” which means we leave behind the chain stores, the expectations that we need to buy something for everyone, and get creative. Leave the plastic behind and make each other gifts. I recommend “experience” gift cards, promising your time and services. For those who aren’t very art oriented, how about

checking out a craft market and buying local? The most important thing, I believe, is to cut the expectation that the holidays are about the quantity of money you spend, not the quality of time you spend with those who matter.

Eat my coal dust

One-track mind on White Rock ABOUT THE SOUTH Surrey-White

Rock train tracks being moved – sorry folks, but this idea is dead in the water before the ink is dry. The rail line was moved there in 1907 because all other alternatives were not in the railway’s best interest. Who in there right mind will pay a private company hundreds of millions of dollars to move their rail line when the railway doesn’t even want to move it? Where would it move to? In the past, this idea has been floated and then it has gone away. This will probably happen again and again over time as people get their shirts in a knot now and then with the tracks not moving an inch. I don’t want my tax dollars being wasted on something that will have minimal impact. People moved into the White Rock area long after the tracks were laid. If the folks in White Rock want the tracks moved, let them pay for it from their own pockets.

ON A CLEAR DAY, my husband and I were

on our way back to North Delta via Colebrook Road. Ahead of us was a coal train. I said to my husband, “Look, I can see coal dust coming off that train.” My husband, who grew up in the days of coalfuelled furnaces, replied, “I can taste it.” So, my advice to all of you who enjoy the privilege of dining in the beautiful outdoor areas of White Rock: If you hear and see a coal train coming, be sure to plug your ears and cover your plates.

Report shows long delays for criminal trials have eased by Jeff Nagel B.C.’S ONCE-jammed

court system seems to be coming unstuck. A new B.C. Provincial Court report on court congestion shows 1,265 criminal cases now in the justice system have waited more than 18 months to get to trial. That number has fallen almost 50 per cent from a peak three years ago of more than 2,500 criminal cases waiting so long they

were in danger of being tossed out. The average delay for a half-day criminal trial has declined to less than six months – better than the province’s target – from more than 10 months in 2010, when judges issued their original “Justice Delayed” report criticizing court conditions. Two-day trials that had waited almost a year in 2010 are now getting trial dates within seven months.

Seniors

Peace of mind for and their Families.

Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said in a statement she hopes the trend of less delay for criminal trials continues as the province explores more options for justice reform. “The number of new cases continues to decline and we are having ongoing discussions with the judiciary on how best to determine the appropriate number of judges to support the system,” she said. As of June, 57 per

OPEN HOUSE

Open House for Neighbourhood Bicycle Route between Surrey City Centre and the new Port Mann The City of Surrey is proposing to create a neighbourhood bicycle route between Surrey City Centre and the new Port Mann Bridge.

The route will guide cyclists through local roads with lower traffic volumes and speeds, the route includes pathway improvements, signage and pavement markings. A new pedestrian/cycling bridge over Bon Accord Creek at 109 Avenue, east of 144 Street is also planned as part of the project.

A public open house displaying details of the planned project will take place at Ellendale Elementary School (14525 110A Avenue, Surrey, BC) on Monday, December 2, 2013 between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM

cent of all cases faced delays of six months or less to trial, while 84 per cent faced delays of no more than a year. More than 100 accused criminals walked free in 2011 due to excessive court delays, but that number fell to 66 last year. B.C.’s shift to roadside impaired driving penalties administered by police, instead of prosecuting drunk drivers has helped reduce pressure on the courts. The province is also looking at family law reforms and moving small claims cases out of courtrooms to administrative tribunals. Some courthouses still face longer waits, according to the latest report. Abbotsford, Fort St. John and Dawson Creek had 10-month waits to trial for two-day cases, as of Sept. 30, while Surrey, Williams Lake and Quesnel were nine months. Two years earlier, the worst courthouses, such as Surrey, were mired in 13- to 16-month waits. The latest “Time to Trial” report shows less improvement for civil cases, with family law trials and child protection hearings still taking significantly longer than the provincial target to get heard. Child protection hearing waits are worst in Abbotsford (13 months), Chilliwack and Surrey (both 11 months.) Critics say the province’s failure to adequately fund legal aid has clogged family law courts in particular, as too many people try to represent themselves. NDP justice critic Leonard Krog said the improvement is partly due to the province taking a more cooperative, less confrontational approach to the judiciary. “It’s trending in the right direction,” Krog said, but added more must be done.”

What does it mean to be at the centre of it all? Here’s what we heard from Dennis and Eleanor — two satisfied purchasers at 3 Civic Plaza — now proud owners of a two-bedroom residence. “We want to be closer to transit, and with the SkyTrain station just below us we can get to downtown Vancouver for concerts and things like that in half an hour,” says Eleanor about their decision. “It’s also right next door to the new library and walking distance to shopping at Central City.” Having lived in Surrey since the 1950s, Dennis and Eleanor felt it was time to give up all the yard work and upkeep of their house to give condo living a try. “We love the idea of spending time outside on the plaza instead of a backyard, plus being at Surrey Central will make getting around very convenient,” says Dennis of living in various residential neighbourhoods throughout the city. “ And we are just at that time in life when downsizing makes sense.” But location isn’t the only idea that made the decision to buy an easy one. “This is the first building of its kind, and it will set the standard for the whole area in both height and quality,” says Dennis. “Others in the area are similar to one another and don’t really stand out.” “We really like the high quality of the design, the furnishings, and the layout,” adds Eleanor. “We needed to make modifications to the inside of the suite. Changing the washrooms to suit us was very important — we moved some cabinets and lowered the sink — and we could do that at no extra cost.” “Plus, the building’s architecture is very well done,” pipes in Dennis. “3 Civic Plaza will be the highlight of Surrey for years to come.”

homicides this year. There have been 23 murders so far in 2013, compared to 21 in 2005, which was the previous record. By comparison, Vancouver has recorded five murders this year. “Doing nothing is not an option,” Watts told The Leader Wednesday. Cracking down on drug houses may not have an immediate effect on the homicide rate, Watts said, but

something has to be done to suspend the high-risk activities that can lead to murder. “The bottom line is we need to interrupt the activities of people that are involved in criminal activity,” Watts said. As to whether the new focused enforcement will require a new team on the RCMP, Watts couldn’t say for sure. “That may be a result in that,” Watts said. “We are putting together the

from Abbotsford to Sumas, Wash. The pair fled, and Hall allegedly fired shots at the agents. Laviolette was apprehended on the scene, but Hall escaped, leading to a day-long manhunt involving authorities on both sides of the border. Two backpacks that were dropped by the pair as they were running were seized by American authorities and found to contain 58.5 pounds of ecstasy. Hall was arrested by Abbotsford Police at an apartment in the city early the next morning. Both Laviolette and Hall were on B.C. Crime Stoppers’ “most wanted” list prior to their arrests. Laviolette was wanted for suspension of his national parole, while Hall was wanted in Kelowna for charges of theft and breaching his probation. Laviolette has been in custody in the U.S. since his arrest. Hall was jailed in B.C. and has not yet answered to his charges in the U.S. He faces the same five charges with which Laviolette was initially charged. Two Americans – Ryan Lambert and Kali Henifin – were also charged in relation to the case. The pair had allegedly planned to pick up the drugs from Hall and Laviolette, and transport the ecstasy to San Francisco for $11,000, according to court documents. Both Lambert and Henifin have pleaded guilty. Lambert is scheduled for sentencing on Jan. 10, and Henifin on April 11.

A NEW BEGINNING

The government discussion paper is posted online at http://www.ag.gov. bc.ca/legislation/ ebca/index.htm. The last review in 2008 recommended that an urban population shift should result in a reduction of one seat in the Cariboo-Thompson region and one in northern B.C. The government intervened to keep those seats and increase the total constituencies from 83 to 85. The B.C. Liberals

and NDP agreed that northern constituencies could not get any larger and still be represented by a single MLA. The 2008 review, chaired by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Bruce Cohen, added seats in the Okanagan, Fraser Valley, Surrey, Burnaby-Tri-Cities and downtown Vancouver. It concluded that keeping all the rural seats was not consistent with the principle of representation by population.

Paying respects Hundreds gather to mourn Gary Robinson by Kevin Diakiw MORE THAN 500 people packed a

funeral home Saturday to say a final farewell to Gary Robinson, a former city councillor and respected figure in the Surrey recovery community. Teammates and opponents from both politics and hockey, as well as scores of people from the substance abuse recovery community, recounted stories of Robinson and his unique approach to things for which he was passionate. He fought vigorously on council for preservation of parkland – including

Green Timbers Forest and Surrey Bend – and was instrumental in securing a hockey rink for South Surrey. He served on council from 1987 to 1999, at the same time he was battling addiction. He sought treatment and went on to create a number of recovery homes. Robinson hosted and helped about 700 struggling addicts through his houses. Robinson died Nov. 2 of a coronary event. He was 57, and clean and sober, his wife Susan Sanderson said.

Metro will consider further. The only other site not previously made public is one in south Vancouver at the foot of Heather Street, near the Oak Street Bridge. The Vancouver site has been advanced by Plenary Group even though Coun. Andrea Reimer noted the City of Vancouver has banned mass-burn incineration within its city limits. The other two sites – previously reported by Black Press – are one at Duke Point near Nanaimo, where proponent Wheelabrator/Urbaser would barge waste across the Strait of Georgia, and Delta’s Lehigh Cement plant, which proposes to burn garbage that it would first dry and process into refusederived fuel. Several of the nine bidding firms already shortlisted by the regional district appeared before Metro’s zero waste committee last Thursday morning to outline their proposals. The regional district wants to burn an extra 370,000 tonnes of garbage per year – in addition to the 280,000 that now goes into its existing Burnaby incinerator – as part of its strategy to end trash shipments inland to the Cache Creek Regional Landfill. The sites unveiled are strictly the ones proponent firms are advancing for their exclusive use, subject to negotiations and local government approval. Six more have also been proposed but are being kept secret while Metro decides whether to option them for lease or purchase. Several bidders that didn’t submitted their own secured site proposal could also be paired with any of the yet-to-be-revealed nonexclusive sites. Metro Vancouver is under orders from the province to fairly consider both in- and out-of-region sites in light of air pollution concerns from Fraser Valley residents. Most of the proponents aim to build mass-burn incinerators, but say their proposal is state-of-the-art See FVRD / Page 17

Thursday, November 28, 2013 Surrey/North Delta Leader 17

FVRD: No burning From page 16

compared to many conventional burners in the world. Covanta Energy, operator of Metro’s existing incinerator, has filed two separate proposals, for either mass-burn incineration or gasification.

FVRD opposed to burning plan

Fraser Valley Regional District politicians say they remain opposed to Metro’s incineration strategy, saying it will degrade

air quality downwind in the funnel-shaped valley. “In spite of our attempts at imploring Metro Vancouver politicians for meaningful consultation, our fears have come to fruition – have chosen the most antiquated and ineffective method to eliminate their region’s garbage,” said FVRD board chair Sharon Gaetz. “It is unfortunate it has come to this but as we move forward, FVRD will pursue all options available to us, including but not

limited to, a legal challenge to prohibit the construction of another incinerator in order to ensure protection of residents, future generations and nearly half of the province’s food source, grown in the green Fraser Valley.” Gaetz instead urges Metro to pursue an advanced materials recovery facility. Such plants are increasingly in use in some countries, she said. “Burning garbage is not a twenty-first century solution.” jnagel@surreyleader.com

the grocery store industry is coming to Surrey. Fresh Street Farms will soon open its doors at 15930 Fraser Hwy. in Fleetwood Village, almost a year after opening its first store under the brand in West Vancouver. “We felt the Fresh Street brand was what we would tailor all our stores after,” said Mark McCurdy of H.Y.

the parent company of Fresh Street, which also owns IGA and London Drugs. “The Fresh Street Market will feature stores around 30,000 square feet and larger. Fresh Street Farms will be 20,000 to 21,000 square feet. We’re taking the best practices from our West Vancouver store, and bringing them into Surrey.” Fresh Street will carry a variety of local and rare finds, such as Canada AAA Angus beef (rated among the top four per cent of all beef), hormone-free and B.C.-raised organic chicken, Ocean Wise seafood, unique cheeses and international items. Local vendors will offer samples of their food while sharing the stories of what they grow, pro-

duce and create. Shoppers will find a variety of locally sourced foods as well as dedicated food destinations that include a curry bar, sandwich bar, and fresh grill. “With the popularity of West Vancouver’s Fresh Street Market, we were excited about another Fresh Street store. Surrey turned out to be the perfect location,” said McCurdy. “Fresh Street Farms will be a little more intimate than Fresh Street Market. It will have the feel of a farmers’ market.” Fresh Street also combines its unique products with affordable prices. “We want people to discover some different items, and be pleasantly surprised by our pricing and out other products,” said McCurdy. “Fresh Street is a much different concept than the usual stores that have their fresh products on the perimeter. Fresh Street has all these things in one area of the store, in a farmers’ market type of setting. “We are excited for Fresh Street Farms to open. We can’t wait for

GVHBA Coats for Kids campaign will keep spirits bright

By Kerry Vital

The temperatures are steadily falling, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to break out the cozy winter coats, gloves, hats and scarves. However, for those who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford all of that warm gear, this season might be less than cheerful. To combat this, the Greater Vancouver Home Buildersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Association has kicked off its annual Coats for Kids campaign, hoping to beat last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection number. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year the response to Coats for Kids was heart-warming as Lower Mainland residents donated more than 3,000 coats, scarves, gloves, blankets and new unwrapped toys and gifts for distribution to children, teenagers and adults,â&#x20AC;? says GVHBA Board of Directors Chair Lynn Harrison. The donation drive supports the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, which helps provide a brighter Christmas for families in need. This year marks the 18th year of the campaign, which

brings together members all over the Lower Mainland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am delighted so many prominent members of our association are participating,â&#x20AC;? says Harrison. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is so important to help families in our communities who are in need, especially during this time of the year.â&#x20AC;? New or gently used winter coats, scarves, gloves, toques, warm blankets and sweaters and other warm items of clothing are all welcomed, as well as unwrapped gifts and toys or monetary donations. Among the locations you can drop off items are many Black Press community newspaper offices, developers and other housing industry professionals in Abbotsford, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Delta, Langley, Maple Ridge, North Vancouver, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Richmond, Surrey, Vancouver and West Vancouver. For a full list of participating locations and times when you can drop off donations, visit www.gvhba.org/coatsforkids.

Ledingham McAllisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Charland features spacious ďŹ&#x201A;oorplans with high-end details such as elegant kitchen cabinetry, large windows and stainless-steel appliances. The exterior architecture is inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, making for beautiful curb appeal.

Life doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end at your front door at LedMacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Charland

By Kerry Vital

Life is full of surprises, activities and excitement, and Ledingham McAllister is keeping that in mind with Charland, its condominium development in Coquitlam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We took your whole lifestyle into account,â&#x20AC;? says Manuela Mirecki, senior vice-president of marketing and design for Ledingham McAllister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end at your front door.â&#x20AC;? In order to cater to that, Charland includes

$10,000

thoughtful touches such as a bicycle repair station, bike-sized storage lockers and storage for kayaks and paddles, making the development perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. It also has the perfect location, just blocks from the Vancouver Golf Club and Blue Mountain Park, as well as shopping, dining and schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about location, location, location,â&#x20AC;? says Mirecki. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are mountain bike trails galore around here, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredibly green.â&#x20AC;? Charland is joining the well-established Austin Heights neighbourhood, and will take advantage of some of the amazing views in the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The views of Mount Baker and the golf course are absolutely beautiful,â&#x20AC;? Mirecki says. Charland is equally beautiful, with its Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired exterior architecture, bamboo garden with its own seating area, infinity-pool water feature and

rooftop terrace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real sense of pride in the outside,â&#x20AC;? says Mirecki. Inside, the 88 spacious one-, two- and three-bedroom floorplans range from approximately 604 to 1,003 square feet, with a large balcony or patio in every home. Among the features youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find in your new space are nine-foot ceilings and contemporary laminate flooring throughout the main living areas. The kitchen in particular demonstrates the luxury of the home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kitchens are spectacular,â&#x20AC;? Mirecki says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have all those things you would expect in a West Vancouver home. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really the showpiece.â&#x20AC;? Stainless-steel appliances, halogen pot lights and under-cabinet lighting are just three of those features. The cabinetry and countertops differ depending on your colour scheme. The Dogwood scheme showcases

white Shaker-style cabinets complemented by quartz composite countertops with linearstyle ceramic tile, while the Evergreen scheme includes flat-panel cabinets in a warm-grey wood-grain finish and quartz composite countertops paired with a modern porcelain mini-mosaic tile backsplash. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also find a breakfast bar or large kitchen island in most homes. Luxurious bathrooms feature square-edge quartz countertops and porcelain tile floors. The master ensuite includes a deep soaker tub with full-height ceramic tile surround and recessed pot lighting, which continues in the main bathroom as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are beautiful homes and floorplans,â&#x20AC;? Mirecki says. Homes at Charland start at $219,900. For more information, check out www.ledmac. com/charland, call 604-492-3388 or visit the presentation centre at 102-1020 Austin Avenue, Coquitlam, open daily (except Friday) between noon and 5 p.m.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Driveway goes Hollywood!

Zack Spencer reveals what turned his head week with a visit to the glitzy 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, Alexandra Straub looks at what’s cool, Bob McHugh goes green and Keith Morgan sneaks a peek at a racy compact concept. Check out the full script at drivewayBC.ca

LA-LA Land auto extravaganza LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Auto Show is full of eye-popping sights and some even include cars! It’s not difficult to have your head turned but it is a challenge to pick one’s top picks but I’m for the challenge. Nissan GT-R Nismo Nissan stole the show with not only one of the fastest cars in the world but the fastest man in the world. Olympic gold medalist and world record holder Usain Bolt was on hand as Nissan’s Director of Excitement. Usain was clearly taken with the new GT-R Nismo, there were also promises to get him one to replace his gold coloured GT-R. Power has been pumped up to 600hp taking this new Nismo version to 100 km/h in just two seconds. Look for the new GT-R in the spring of 2014. I suspect Usain will get his a bit earlier. Chevrolet Colorado The mid-size pickup truck market has been all but abandoned by the domestic automakers over the last few years leaving this category entirely to Toyota and Nissan with the Tacoma and Frontier trucks. Wait until next year and the choice will include the all-new Colorado from Chevrolet. Building off the success of the all-new full-size Silverado, the engineers have taken the same approach to this new truck. On the economy front, eventually there will be three engines to choose from. Out of gate, there is the base 2.5L 4-cylinder engine or a 3.6L V6. Subaru WRX Fans of the Subaru WRX will be very excited about the arrival of an all-new car but maybe a bit disappointed that this production model

doesn’t look very much little the sleek and sexy concept that was unveiled earlier this year. It should prove to be a capable car thanks to an all-new direct injection 2.0L 4-cylinder putting out 268hp and matched to the first 6-speed in the WRX. Subaru Legacy Concept A head Zack Spencer turning design that my sources tell me looks a lot like the production car. The metallic, almost chrome looking paint, certainly helps to make the car pop but the bold front grille and macho stance could very well be included in the final version. Lincoln MKC Lincoln has a long and distinguished history as an American premium brand but over the last few decades, it has been an extension of existing Ford products using different badging and trim. There is now a long-term plan to resurrect the Lincoln brand with all-new vehicle that use some Ford components but are developed separately from the main Ford line of products. The compact crossover MKC shares a platform with the Ford Escape but has been designed and engineered to be a very different car. The design, other than the trademark Lincoln grille is very European and the back wrap-around hatch is maybe Audi-inspired. Standard in Canada will be all-wheel-drive and adaptive suspension, matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission.

BMW 4 Series Cabriolet BMW has changed its naming: the 3 Series is now the sedan only while the coupe and convertible version are now called 4 Series. The all-new cabriolet is wider and features a new three-piece retractable hardtop and for the first time X-Drive AWD is now available on the convertible models. Interior refinements include a new neck warmer to that blows a steady stream of warm air on the front passengers neck and shoulders, helping to elongate the convertible season. Porsche Macan This small SUV is based on the same platform as the Audi Q5. This lower, sleeker and much more aggressive Macan will attract a lot of attention based purely on looks. Porsche made it very clear that this is not juts a Porsche in name but also in performance. Look for the Macan coming next year. Jaguar F-Type Jaguar made a big splash with the Jaguar F-Type convertible this year and next year we look forward to the coupe version, a dynamite looking coupe with a stunning silhouette and improved dynamics thanks to a stiffer body. The body of the car is built with extensive use of aluminum to produce the stiffest Jaguar ever made. This is one heart-pounding coupe I cannot wait to try. zack.spencer@ddrivewayBC.ca

Safety Tip: As road conditions become more challenging by the week, it becomes even more important to be attentive behind the wheel. If you need to make a call or send a text or email, pull over to the roadside, or use those highway rest stops to take a break. It can also help you avoid feeling fatigued.

LOS ANGELES: Tinseltown. Hollywood. LA. No matter what you call it, it’s a city of millions and it’s easy to get lost in the crowd. But not if you’re attractive, have a great body and well, you shine. With hundreds of vehicles show-

cased at the Los Angeles Auto Show, it takes a lot to stand out amongst the plethora of sparkling sheet metal, which is constantly detailed by show workers. If you’re a sexy snake, that’s automatic grounds for attention. The SRT Viper GTS was on display, but it wasn’t just any old venom-producing reptile. It came with the Anodized Carbon Special Edition Package. Aside from 640 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. of torque being produced from its handcrafted, all-aluminum 8.4-litre, midfront V10, it comes with the first-ever use for the Chrysler Group’s unique metallic matte exterior colour. And exclusivity is the name of its game. Only 50 will be made and they’ll be available as of January, 2014. Speaking of fast things, you don’t get any faster on feet than Usain Bolt does. And if you’re paired next to Nissan’s fastest production GT-R to date, that’s an even more potent combination. Godzilla takes on the NISMO (aka NISsan MOtorsport) badge with a healthy helping of 600-horsepower and some defining exterior features. In regards to its body, it’s more rigid than before and you’ll also find it has a “factory tuned” enhanced suspension. The aero package, which not only looks good, also improves road holding, minimizes the negative impact of drag, while giving the car a menacing and muscular appearance. If you’re a luxury German vehicle and you have a worldwide debut in LA, chances are you’ll draw quite the A-List crowd. The all-new Porsche Macan did such a thing, with visitors such as Jerry Seinfeld and professional tennis player, Maria Sharapova. The Indonesian word for tiger, it’s the first Porsche in the compact SUV segment. Or you could say it’s the baby brother to the popular-selling Cayenne. Either way, they’re both have some spice to them! Two renditions of Macan will be available: the Macan S and Macan Turbo. Standard features include active all-wheel drive and the Porsche double-clutch transmission (PDK). The Macan S is powered by a new Porsche-designed 3.0-litre V6 bi-turbo engine that puts out 340 horsepower. The Macan Turbo hosts a 3.6-litre V6 bi-turbo engine and emits 400 horsepower. Purrrr.

LA Jeep Wrangler

DESIGNED TO DRIVE

Practical and eye catching? – You might not expect that from a cargo van, but when you team up with Hot Wheels, you’ll get exactly that: hot wheels! Ford paired up with Hot Wheels and had its Transit Connect XLT Cargo Van LWB beaming a custom bright blue exterior with orange accents and custom 20-inch wheels. But the fun doesn’t stop on the outside. Sure there’s a new front fascia and grille, and even a one-off “shark-fin” roof mounted antennas supporting GPS and Satellite radio along with custom gullwing doors (which replaces the standard sliding doors), but there’s a party waiting on the inside. Alongside the custom ST seats, there’s a sleeping area and a 55-inch TV. Maybe I will try my hand at camping again, but only with this van! It wouldn’t be a California auto show without a special edition Jeep Wrangler. Complete with bronze satin gloss accentuated 18-inch wheels, a matching grille, and other dark parts, the Wrangler Dragon Edition is sure to heat things up. If the bronze bits weren’t enough of a giveaway, the large dragon graphic on the hood will surely let you know that this mythical creature means business whether on or off road. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Eagles basketball teams go winless in Abbotsford by Rick Kupchuk

KWANTLEN Polytechnic University’s (KPU) two basketball teams both lost in PACWEST (Pacific Western Athletic Association) play Abbotsford last Friday. Playing on the road against the Columbia Bible College Bearcats, the Kwantlen Eagles lost the women’s game 59-50 before dropping a 67-59 decision in the men’s game. The men tallied 22 points in the second quarter to erase a fivepoint deficit and take a 36-33 lead at halftime. But the Eagles scored just seven points in the third quarter to fall behind by six points, a deficit they couldn’t erase. Princess Margaret Secondary graduate Ali Bosir scored 15

points and added eight rebounds to lead the Eagles effort. Obi Udevi (Panorama Ridge Secondary) netted a dozen points and Aaron Ram (Seaquam) added 10 points and eight rebounds. Devan Haynes was the top rebounder with nine. With just one win in six starts, the Eagles are still very much in the playoff race. Six of the eight teams will advance to the playoff tournament hosted by Douglas College in February, and while tied with the Camosun Chargers for last place, KPU is just a game back of three teams who are at 2-4 (won-lost). The women fell behind 40-26 at halftime before cutting the difference to seven points after three quarters. The rally fell

short, and the Eagles fell to 2-4 (won-lost) in the PACWEST standings. KPU is in a three-way tie for fifth place. Fleetwood Park Secondary graduate Shilpa Khanna paced the Eagles with 17 points, with Amber-

Lee Kavanagh addingg 11. Kavanagh and Samantha McPhail were the leaders on the boards, each with eight rebounds. Both teams will play twice next weekend before a six-week break from league play. The Eagles will

be in North Vancouver Friday to play the Capilano Blues, before tipping off Saturday night in Squamish against the Quest Kermodes. Women’s games are at 6 p.m. both nights, followed by the men at 8 p.m.

Semifinal loss for Panthers A very successful high school football season came to an end for the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers Saturday night at the University of British Columbia. The Panthers played in their first-ever provincial semifinal in the Senior AAA category, losing 39-33 to the Mt. Douglas Rams. Tweedsmuir went 6-1 (won-lost) in league play, before winning one of two playoff games. Against the unbeaten Rams, the Panthers scored 33 points against a defense that allowed just 27 in six league games. Three members of the Lord Tweedsmuir team made the provincial all-star team.

Sidhu scores for UBC T-Birds Harleen Sidhu turned in a pair of high-scoring

games to lift the University of British Columbia (UBC) Thunderbirds to a pair of wins in Canada West women’s basketball. She netted 24 points, seven rebounds and five steals in an 81-75 victory over Winnipeg Friday at UBC. The Surrey native made 12 of her 13 shots from the foul line. The next night against Manitoba, Sidhu led the Thunderbirds in both points (21) and rebounds (nine), on eight-for-nine shooting from the field in a 62-45 win. Sidhu’s weekend performances vaulted the Fleetwood Park Secondary graduate into a tie for sixth in Canada West scoring, with an average of 16 points a game. It also helped UBC (6-2, won-lost) move into a tie for first place in the Pacific Division with Fraser Valley.

Leaping into the holiday season Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society stages pantomime production of The Frog Princess by Alex Browne

ou don’t have to remind Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society president Dann Wilhelm that the organization’s annual Christmas pantomimes are a family affair – often with multiple generations of many clans ‘treading the boards’ together. His daughter Willow, 8, is very much in evidence as a member of the chorus in this year’s effort, The Frog Princess (Surrey Arts Centre, Nov. 27-Dec. 8), for which Wilhelm is himself serving the all-important adult-and-kiddie-wrangling role of stage manager. “She was very thrilled to try out and work on a show with Daddy,” he said proudly. “It’s pretty much a natural for her. She’s a second-generation panto person – third, actually, because my dad helped out on several of the shows.” The togetherness factor of friends, family and extended family is one of the reasons FVGSS pantos have evolved an increasingly home-grown feel, he said, and that’s the case with The Frog Princess, directed by FVGSS veteran Mike Balser from his own script, written in collaboration with noted past contributors Norma Rushton and Cathy Wilmot. “It’s an original panto written for us – we’ve been trying to do that for the last few years,” Wilhelm said. “It’s very funny – with a lot of different types of humour, from high-brow to low-brow and very physical comedy – and lots of upbeat musical numbers.” A large part in determining the choice Misha (Michelle of songs is played by musical director Gaetz, right) tries Timothy Tucker who is (the family to work up the connection, again) the father of courage to kiss Chelsea Tucker, who plays printhe beautiful cipal villainess, the glamorous Frog Princess, Ivana Castacurski, in the set-inAnastasia (Sheena mythical-Russia panto. Johnson), in The She, aided and abetted by Frog Princess, this not-too-bright son Boris year’s pantomime (noted scene-stealer James by the Fraser Valley Walker), is responsible for Gilbert & Sullivan turning Princess AnastaSociety. sia (Sheena Johnston) into a frog, part of her scheme PHOTO BY THOMAS SCHMITZ to marry Anastasia’s father the Tsar (Adrian Duncan). “Sheena was head of costumes on the last couple of shows and is also a talented actor with very nice singing voice – it’s nice to get her on stage for a change,” Wilhelm said. “Adrian was great as Ferrari in last year’s Phantom of the Panto – and he’s also an older gentleman with a big beard, so it was a no-brainer casting him as the Tsar.” Principal boy Misha is played by Michelle Gaetz, who audiences will remember as Pinocchio in last year’s White Rock panto. “She’s a great addition and a lot of fun to watch,” Wilhelm said, adding that the “very strong cast” also includes Joni Hayden-Summerton as Anastasia’s best friend Petra and comedic stalwarts Samantha Andrews and Jeff Christensen as “good cop-bad cop fairies.” Performances run Wednesday to Saturday at 7:30 p.m. with Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m. For tickets and information, call 604-501-5566 or visit tickets.surrey.ca

Drunk Driving is No Joke

THE ROAD RULES www.roadrules.ca

Cedric Hughes

Barrister & Solicitor

mpaired driving is one of the oldest criminal code offences relating to operating a motor vehicle, but the social stigma that now attaches to such behaviour is a relatively recent development. It may be hard to believe that announcing ‘one for the road’ was once considered a clever remark. Today, social media commentary is more along the line of: ““Isn’t drunk driving hilarious?” said no one ever.” The effort to achieve this change has been multi-pronged and persistent, even in the face of the textbook tragedies that still happen too frequently to allow for anything but ongoing vigilance. The professional upholders of the law have done and continue to do what they must. Researchers and health care professionals— from emergency responders to medical specialists—likewise. The families of countless victims have organized and lobbied and from these efforts have grown mature and ever-more sophisticated advocacy groups. Still, statistics published by MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers), one of the most high profile of such groups, state that, on average, “4 people are killed and 175 people are injured in Canada every day in impairment-related crashes.” Against the trend, the Mayor of Toronto has for the past short while been both defending his own such misbehaviour and making a joke of it. When responding to allegations from former staffers in court documents, in carefully parsed statements he told reporters that he has driven after consuming alcohol on

more than one occasion: “I might have had some drinks and driven” but to the CBC “I have never been drunk and driven.” The Mayor prefaced his comments to the CBC with, as one media personality called it “an appeal to no standards” saying “all of us have done this.” Then, at the November 18th Toronto City Council meeting in which his mayoral powers were transferred to the Deputy Mayor, he reportedly pantomimed drinking and driving in the direction of a fellow councilor who had been cautioned by the police. The antics of Toronto’s Mayor with respect to this particular behaviour are deeply disrespectful of the considerable efforts made by so many to change our thinking about drinking and driving, and indeed of the victims killed or maimed by such willfully risky and dangerous behaviour. A public figure who so breezily and brazenly challenges and defies such a fledgling cultural norm cannot help but undermine it, no matter whether he from time to time happens to “say it right.” It is also disturbing to see how the Mayor’s admitted drug use and out-ofbounds profanity have overshadowed the commentary on drinking and driving issues. Meanwhile, on November 5th, down the street from Toronto’s City Hall, the CN Tower’s new lighting system designed to enhance its structure from bottom to top while also publicizing recognized causes shone red in honour of MADD Canada’s Red Ribbon Campaign. This is an annual awareness campaign that runs from now until January 6th, 2014. MADD Canada Chapters and community leaders will be handing out red ribbons and educational material to “remind Canadians that they have the power to prevent impaired driving.”
