Hundreds attend to hear mayors’ pitch for moving train tracks inland

Cities present four rail-route options Cloverdale wary of plan

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

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 BNSF 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 most attendees appeared to be in favour of relocating the tracks, the possible new routes did not sit well with everyone. Anna Dean said she was “seeing red” at the suggestion to move the 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.” 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 is right to push for making it a reality. “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

City officials presented four possible options for relocating the BNSF train tracks off the Peninsula waterfront. months, following derailments in other areas of the country and the 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 Watts contacted him in August to invite his city’s participation in Surrey’s

efforts – an invitation Baldwin said added much-needed clout to the argument. “It wasn’t 20,000 people talking,” he said Tuesday, referring to White Rock’s population. “It was over half a million.… This is a great thing.” Watts noted 15 of the 19 kilometres of rail line eyed for re-align-

ment 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. i see page A4

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 slide-prone escarpment in Ocean Park and the state of a crumbling railway bridge over the Little Campbell River for seeking what they call a safer route. “There are significant safety issues,” Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts told Black Press. “No alignment has been selected. We are merely getting feedback from the community.” 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. i see page A4

Mayor’s task force focuses on drug houses

Doing nothing not an option, Watts says Kevin Diakiw Black Press

If you’re associated with a drug house in this city, expect visits from the RCMP and the City of Surrey. A mayor’s task force, made up of RCMP, crime analysts, a criminologist, bylaw officers, fire officials, city engineers and schooldistrict representatives met for the first time on Tuesday night. The task force – created by Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts to reduce the homicide rate in the city – will be asking police to focus on known drug houses. Watts said the two-hour meeting set out

For the people who frequent drug houses and who want help with their addictions, Watts said there are resources in Surrey that can offer assistance. “I would suggest the ones selling the drugs are not the ones that want the help,” Watts said She added that a loud-and-clear message will be sent to people involved in crime. “I do not want for one moment for any of these people involved in criminal activity to think that we are complacent and that it’s OK to do business in this city,” Watts said. “Because frankly, it’s not.” The task force meets again next week.

Worker ‘at risk’

$12,000 fine for safety A South Surrey masonry business has been fined nearly $12,000 for allowing an employee to work without fall protection. The penalty against B-C Masonry Ltd. was imposed Aug. 8 in connection with an incident in White Rock in which an unprotected worker was about seven metres above grade, on a scaffold platform inside an elevator shaft. “He was leaning over an unguarded opening in the platform and was at risk of falling to the bottom of the shaft,” a WorkSafe report on recently levied penalties notes. The report – released Nov. 19 – notes the failure was “a repeated violation.” The fine totalled $11,818.28. The firm was among 31 employers detailed in WorkSafe’s November/December magazine to have received administrative penalties. The list includes four employers who were doing business in Surrey at the time a violation was noted: • Mandip Singh Shoker/Tip Top Framing was fined $2,500 after four workers were found working without fall protection while helping to build a new house; • Park City Homes Ltd./ P.C. Homes Ltd. was fined $3,000, for violating asbestos-related health and safety regulations during work at a house slated for demolition; • Sodexo Canada Ltd. was fined $75,000, for failing to ensure a worker correctly implemented the firm’s emergency cleanup procedures when responding to a mercury leak from a barometer. • Empire Kitchen Cabinets Limited was also fined in August ($3,974.17), for continued noncompliance with safety requirements: allowing workers who were exposed to spray paint and wood dust to use respirators that hadn’t been fit-tested; storing large quantities of flammable paints and stains in a place that was not approved for storage of those materials; and failing to make information sheets available for some of the controlled products used at its workplace. Once a penalty is imposed, employers have 90 days to appeal.

Bobcat buried in site’s second slide Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A worker was lucky to escape injury Monday when the wall of the White Rock excavation site he was working in collapsed, burying his bobcat in dirt and debris. Sandi Chapman said she was eating breakfast when she heard the “major crash” as the temporary shoring gave way. “I just jumped up,” she said. “I looked out the window, I saw the guy run.” Chapman, who lives immediately west of the McDonald Avenue property, said after her initial fear that someone had been hurt was alleviated, frustration kicked in – built up from trying numerous times since mid-August to draw city and property officials’ attention to concerns with the work that was taking place. “We questioned everything right from the beginning,” Chapman said Tuesday, citing the proximity of the excavation to her property as a key concern. “(Now), the integrity of our home could be jeopardized.” Monday’s collapse happened just before 9 a.m. It was the second at the site this month; the first was logged Nov. 3, when a chunk of land – along with the lawn furniture sitting on

it – from property immediately east of the site crashed into the excavation hole around 8 p.m. Longtime tenant Judy Jordison said that event had the “rumble” of an earthquake and took at least 10 feet off of her side yard. Chapman said she called the city after the first collapse, after noticing separation in the ground near an exterior staircase that climbs from her back patio to her raised backyard. Officials weren’t concerned, she said. The staircase, along with part of Chapman’s fence, disappeared in Monday’s collapse. A crack has also appeared in the ground inches from the back corner of Chapman’s house. “Our fence, it’s just dangling there,” she said. “When you exit our back door, we have no way up to our backyard at all – and there’s a big drop down.” City media liaison Shannon Levesque confirmed the collapse is the second failure on record for the site, and that an independent geotechnical engineer will be reviewing the project as a result – news Chapman said she received by email shortly after the Peace Arch News called the city Tuesday morning regarding the issue. Levesque told PAN the wooden retaining structure that gave way was “temporary shor-

ing” used to stabilize the excavation during construction. “It was another alternative rather than using shotcrete,” Levesque said, referring to a highvelocity concrete application commonly used in construction. “It was found by the developer’s geotechnical engineer to be acceptable.” Chapman said while the builder came to her and her husband with a shotcreting agreement, “they never got back to us” to clarify specific aspects and proceeded with a different shoring method. WorkSafeBC spokesperson Megan Johnston said a stop-work order was placed on the site following the collapse and work “will not proceed until our officers are satisfied that it can proceed safely.” Johnston said preliminary information indicates the workers were on a break when the collapse occurred. Chapman said she is grateful no one was injured, but she can’t help but think the whole situation could have been prevented. “We saw it happening. We were scared. And it took this for them (to respond). It’s such a big let-down that the city didn’t stay on top of it.”

Train tunnels considered i from page A1 Watts cited a number of studies since 1995 that have looked at the feasibility of moving the rail line. Surrey staff revisited the 2002 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 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. 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. Attendees were given “10 to 12 minutes” to formally comment or ask questions. Cost and where the funds would come from were among concerns raised. One attendee wanted to know how many fatalities have occurred along the line in its history; another asked Watts to “dig in your high heels” to help move the concept forward.

Wrong route

he number of objections to having trains run along the Semiahmoo Peninsula’s waterfront is growing, with the mayors of White Rock and Surrey now joining forces to push for relocation of the rail line. Dangerous cargo, unstable bluffs, pedestrian safety, ‘landlocked’ neighbourhoods and fugitive coal dust are each being cited as reason enough to move the BNSF tracks. Throw in diesel exhaust, noise pollution and concerns that the tracks don’t follow a direct route, and collectively the issues are being described by some leaders as the “perfect storm.” And we, the taxpayers, are being asked to discuss whether such action – estimated to cost anywhere from $350-500 million – is worthy of consideration. But before investing even in research, it costs nothing to parse the reasons, separating potential tragedies unique to the Semiahmoo Peninsula from more universal concerns, as well as from the mere inconveniences that have grown from having a century of rail here. Otherwise, critics will dismiss this issue as pure NIMBYism. For this reason, we suggest removing arguments that exist for other communities or that would simply move problems to them. Coal dust? Horn blasts? Level crossings? Not overly welcome here, but likely not anywhere. The concern in Crescent Beach moves beyond inconvenience – when one considers a derailed train could block both exit routes – but, frankly, outsiders must find it odd believing this is a major fear, when residents have had time enough in the past 100 years to move on. And as for there being more direct routes, BNSF will no doubt take this concern on its behalf under advisement. For some proponents of change, the final straw was last summer’s Lac-Mégantic tragedy, in which a runaway freight train carrying crude oil rolled downhill into the town centre and derailed, killing dozens. And, yes, such an occurrence here would be catastrophic. As it would in neighbouring Cloverdale or Langley – where freight trains run more frequently. But unless one were to make the squalid argument that tragedy here is somehow worse than in other areas, citing Lac-Mégantic for anything less than nationwide rail reform seems myopic, at best. In fact, the only substantial argument unique to the Peninsula is the fear of unstable bluffs. If the bluffs are at risk, we suggest our leaders table the debate and act. Now. If they’re safe, we suggest the mayors move on, as their actions are only giving their supporters false hope.

Does Surrey’s high homicide rate make you fearful? Vote online at www.peacearchnews.com

And then there’s the friends you make. My 29-year-old brother, for example, plays on a rec-league hockey team with the same group of guys he’s played with since he was eight. And Tuesday night at Hazelmere Golf Club, site of KidSport Surrey-White Rock’s Nite of Champions dinner, MC Jim Hughson regaled the audience with the tale of his old junior hockey team, which went 0-22-1. He still keeps in touch with his ex-teammates, he said, and though it’s unlikely they spend much time dissecting that season’s on-ice highlights, there’s a bond there that has lasted decades. There were plenty of young athletes on hand, too – some of whom have been part of the KidSport program, and others, like hockey-playing brothers Bennett and Zac Wheatley, who each received a $2,000 inheritance from their grandfather with the caveat that they donate it to a charity. They both told their grandfather that they wanted to help other kids play sports, so they chose to donate their money to KidSport, which, in total, raised $84,000 that night to help cover registration fees for local youth. The Wheatley’s gesture was an incredibly selfless one, and received a well-earned round of applause. Had KidSport been around when I was that age, I like to think that I’d have done the same. But the idea that sports could be so expensive was lost on me back then, though surely not on my parents. At least I saved them a few bucks on a pair of skates once.

Peace Arch News

Density issue needn’t divide Editor: Re: We missed arts opportunity once, Oct. 31 letters; Our community deserves arts, Nov. 19 letters. My comments to the Peace Arch News about the proposed highrise development on 19 Avenue east of 152 Street (Divided views over artscentre towers, Oct. 24) have been interpreted by the arts community as our association being against better facilities in South Surrey. Nothing could be further from the truth. Semiahmoo Residents Association fully supports enhancing the culture of our community, for residents as well as the artists. However, this is the second time an arts centre has been included as a part of a highrise proposal for this area. As Myles Murchison points out in his Oct. 31 letter, it was to be included in White Rock’s Miramar, but didn’t get enough support. So there is a pattern. Murchison criticized my suggestion that there were already good theatres in the vicinity, including the one at Earl Marriott Secondary. We have used that venue with no problems and it housed the White Rock Players when the new Playhouse was built. PAN’s recent online survey on the proposed complex recorded an almost 70-per-cent ‘against’ vote. This is an indication the area’s views have not changed much in the 20-plus years since a referendum voted in favour of a four-storey height limit for South Surrey. Assuming that, why does the City of Surrey find it necessary to impose a 26-storey building and a 19-storey building using an arts centre and theatre as a justification? Is there really no other way? Why can’t our taxes pay for such amenities, as they did for the athletic centre and for the new aquatic centre in Grandview? There have been no suggestions of highrises in the latter. Coun. Judy Villeneuve stresses the need for highrises to reduce urban sprawl “on the Peninsula,” according to the article (Towers would reuce sprawl: Villeneuve, Nov. 12). In our association’s fight against the Semiahmoo Town Centre Plan, our biggest concern was the proposed density, which we estimated would have tripled the core area’s population at that time. Since then, Surrey has changed their plan to allow a 60 per cent increase in density on sites along 152 Street from 16 to 19 avenues. We have been getting feedback from residents expressing concern and opposition to the proposal and its 350 condos. We ask the same question of Surrey we did before. Where is the infrastructure to support such growth? Where are the roads, transit and hospitals? Have they tried driving from Vancouver in the rush hours – the ‘biggest car park in the world’? There is already significant residential development in Surrey and in White Rock, with whom we share amenities. Their bottlenecks are our bottlenecks. Do we really need 26-storey highrises to sustain

or increase this rate of growth? There have been many statements associating highrise development with a vibrant and dynamic community. Has anyone witnessed this atmosphere in the White Rock Town Centre? I haven’t. If anyone needs more information, please call me at 604-536-0468 or email at semiahmoo@shaw.ca David Cann, president Semiahmoo Residents Association

A ‘new era of accountability’ Editor: The Duffy/Wright Senate scandal is sadly just another example of the Conservative government saying one thing and doing another. The Harper government was first elected in 2006, largely on a platform of improving transparency and accountability in Ottawa. Since then, this government’s track record has been the exact opposite of what was promised. Apparently, to the Conservative government, “transparency and accountability” means denying

access by the media, fighting with Elections Canada (in/out scandal, robocalls, Dean Del Mastro), stonewalling the parliamentary budget officer and furiously spinning reports from the auditor general. Not to mention muzzling of scientists, proroguing Parliament and making a mockery of the access-to-information system. When stories of backroom misdeeds finally do emerge, their answer is more stonewalling and denials until ultimately the RCMP and Department of Justice force their way in past the barricades. This is not what Canadians expect and deserve of their government. Jeff Ballingall, Surrey

It’s not easy to pay our share Editor: I have been using the Surrey Park and Ride since it opened years ago. Recently, TransLink introduced pay parking. I don’t have a problem paying the $2 – if the two parking meters worked. The following are the daily issues:

• You try to make a payment. It asks for $2. Put your toonie or two loonies in, and it continues to ask for $2 and will not give back the money you have already placed in it. This morning, I sunk six $2 coins into the machine and nothing happened. • If the meter allows you to make the payment, it takes approximately five minutes to process the request. • You don’t receive a receipt to prove you have paid. • I have to leave 30 minutes earlier in the morning for the privilege of waiting in line to pay to use a spot. I got really fed up and tried calling Impark. There is no customer service number. I waited on hold for the ticket payment office for five hours with no answer. Finally, days later, we connected and Impark let me know that the meters are solar-powered and that they worked when tested at 1 p.m. That doesn’t help when they’re not charged at 6 a.m. People are now frustrated and are no longer paying for their parking, as it seems impossible. I’m sure the next step for them is to ticket all of us, even though we have tried to be good citizens and pay for the service. Allison Bourne, Surrey

I think all stakeholders can agree that a derailment of cars carrying dangerous goods in a highly populated area is another matter.a Simon BergenHenengouwen

Efforts by the cities of White Rock and Surrey to reroute the rail line will accomplish little, predicts a letter writer.

Focus on the things you control Editor: Re: Mayors probe moving tracks inland, Nov. 21. I suggest those calling for the relocation of the railway tracks from the waterfront are taking the wrong approach. The cost alone and determining who would pay prevents that from ever happening. Obtaining agreement with all the stakeholders would be a Herculean task, especially when two countries are involved. That argument will go nowhere. It gives the politicians an excuse to get plenty of press but explain later that it is simply too costly. In the end, nothing will change. Is this issue not clearly a matter of safety? And are jurisdictions not able to legislate required dangerousgoods routes when carriers are able to travel through densely populated areas? Trucks carrying dangerous goods in the City of Calgary, for example, are required to follow a designated dangerous-goods route when travelling in the city. If they do not follow the route, offenders can be fined and imprisoned. Would it not make more sense to require the same for rail traffic? I personally have no difficulty with Amtrak or rail cars with no hazardous goods using the tracks on the waterfront. We all knew the tracks were there when we bought and it was not a deterrent. Besides, the frequency of train traffic at that time was not that onerous. What does matter, however, is when our safety is affected. I think all stakeholders can agree that a derailment of cars carrying dangerous goods in a highly populated area is another matter. It is a safety issue pure and simple, and I think Canada and its municipalities

still have jurisdiction over that in their own territory. If we do not, heaven help us. Simon Bergen-Henengouwen, White Rock

Not-so-Swift proposals Re: Relocating rail lines only the first move, Nov. 21 column. I was thrilled to the skies to learn that they are finally considering getting rid of the rail line. The incredible value of this to the Peninsula for both recreation and business would be hard to understate. However, reading columnist Alex Browne’s opinion piece, I wondered if he was pulling our leg? No, he was definitely joking right? Please reassure me because that was the nuttiest bunch of hee-haw I’ve ever read in the Peace Arch News. Alex? Really? Jason Maverick, White Rock Q It required me to read this article twice, because I wasn’t sure, if the author was sarcastic or serious, and I still don’t know. Does he really want to dismantle the pier and relocate the old railway station and the businesses from Marine Drive? If he is serious, why didn’t he just suggest to relocate the entire city? But probably the best solution would be to relocate him to a nice quiet area in the valley and let those noisy tourists continue to enjoy beautiful White Rock Klaus Kittel, Surrey (Editor’s note: Browne wrote with tongue firmly in cheek.)

First of a series of increases to take effect April 2014

Hydro rates going up 28% Tom Fletcher Black Press

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. Bennett acknowledged 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

Energy Minister Bill Bennett and BC Hydro CEO Charles Reid. 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. The government has instructed BC Hydro to shut down the gasfired Burrard Thermal generating station in Port Moody by 2016, saving an estimated $14 million a year. The forecast electricity surplus over the 10-year plan allows that, but the facility will continue to be staffed for its grid stability.

Dozens lined up in Surrey to receive a number in order to apply for the 2013 Surrey Christmas Bureau. Below, program co-ordinator J.C. Gilroy speaks with potential applicants.

Families in need applying for assistance for the holidays

Surrey Christmas Bureau to help hundreds Greg Laychak

our volunteers sit at the end of supermarket cash lanes interviewing applicants. But the tills are silent as the room around them buzzes. This is no ordinary supermarket, and the customers are not there to check out food – at least not directly. The hub of activity is at the former site of the Buy Rite grocery store in the Dell Shopping Centre, where people are now registering for the 2013 Surrey Christmas Bureau (SCB). In the ever-changing interior of this year’s location, checkout aisles are the only original structure left. Thanks to a team of busy volunteers the area is transforming, but the shelves, where families will do their toy shopping, remain empty. “In about a week… it’ll look different again,” says K.C. Gilroy, program co-ordinator. “We’ll have baby items here, toddler items here, there’ll be pyjamas piled there. “It’ll be a whole different world.” The site for the SCB came later than usual this year and took some intense

searching, says Gilroy. Every year the location has changed because it’s difficult to find a large space with a short lease that fits the bureau’s needs. After passing on other properties that didn’t fit the organization’s requirements, Bosa Properties came to the SCB’s aide, offering the current site in the 10600-block of King George Boulevard at a reduced lease rate. The central locale is a bonus, says Gilroy, adding that North Surrey is home to a large proportion of the SCB’s lowerincome clients.

One of those residents, Wendy Hernandez, waited in the early morning cold Thursday with her friend, Caroline Quinonez, in a lineup of about 40 applicants. Some in line had stood outside the SCB for almost an hour to get a number. “We don’t have money for buying our kids presents,” explains Hernandez, stepping inside to warm up. “Everything is expensive and we have three children.” Hernandez and Quinonez are participating in the program for the second year. Both are grateful for the help and say it made their last Christmas a happy one. Last year, Quinonez participated in the Adopt-a-Family program, which matches sponsor families with those in need. Her six-month-old son, Alan, sits quietly bundled in his stroller. It will be his first Christmas this December, and Quinonez is hoping to be matched with a sponsor again this year. The organization distributes toys and gift cards for groceries to hundreds of low-income families each year. More than 1,800 families are expected this holiday season. Anyone able to help is asked to call 604-581-9623.

Six-month-old Alan Quinonez and his mom, Caroline, are among the 1,800 families turning to the SCB.

Santa Claus has come to town and he’ll be staying until Christmas Eve. The man in red made his grand entrance at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre last Friday –

just in time to take in a holiday concert featuring Juno-awardwinner Norman Foote. Every child who attended was treated to reindeer antlers and light-up noses,

plus goodie bags and countdown calendars to Christmas Day. Santa will be at the mall daily from 11 a.m. until Dec. 24. For more, visit www. shopsemiahmoo.com

The journey of mourning the loss of a loved one is always difficult, particularly during the holidays. Celebrate a Life offers people an opportunity to stop and remember a loved one who has died, while also helping raise awareness of the programs and services Hospice offers in their community. From December 1 to 23, White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society Volunteers host a Celebrate a Life Tree at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre. Visitors are invited to write their loved one’s name on a paper dove and hang it on the Tree to honour their memory. With a donation of $20 or more they will also receive as a keepsake to take home, a beautiful wooden dove, hand painted by local artists. Each dove is as unique as the memory of their loved one.

Let us take care of you while you enjoy life! We provide exceptional 24 hour Care, an outstanding Recreation Program and delicious and nutritious meals.

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.

Real Estate Corner

with Derrick Sims

Q. We are looking to buy a home soon. What are some signs of overall quality I should be looking for? A.

It is always advisable to have a professional inspector look at a home before you purchase it, but you can do some of the legwork beforehand. Here are some speciďŹ cs to check: â&#x20AC;˘ Walls â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Be sure they are straight and show no signs of bowing. â&#x20AC;˘ Sturdy Floor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Test for signs of improper ďŹ&#x201A;exing. â&#x20AC;˘ Sound Roof â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Does it appear to be relatively new and well maintained? â&#x20AC;˘ Quality Fixtures â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Pay particular attention to the baths and kitchen. â&#x20AC;˘ Electrical System â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Look for adequate outlets and in the main box for a minimum of 100 amps of service. â&#x20AC;˘ Heating And Cooling System â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Are all rooms connected, and is the system adequate? â&#x20AC;˘ Insulation - Look for a minimum of R30 in the roof. The walls can be less, but they need to be well insulated. â&#x20AC;˘ Quality Workmanship â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Look at the ďŹ ne details. They will give you a lot of insight. â&#x20AC;˘ Water Damage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Be sure water is draining properly outside, and that there are no signs of interior damage. If these items look good to you and you are interested in the home, it is time to hire an inspector to take a more thorough look. They can often ďŹ nd â&#x20AC;&#x153;hiddenâ&#x20AC;? problems you may have missed. An inspector usually charges $300-$600. Ask friends, family, and your realty professional for inspectors they trust.

Reports show long delays for criminal trials have eased

Wheels of justice turning faster in B.C. courts Jeff Nagel Black Press

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. Suzanne Anton The average justice minister delay for a halfday 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. 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.

A new report from B.C. Provincial Court shows a decrease in delays for criminal trials from three years ago. “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 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 exces-

sive 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 lon-

ger 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. Although the province appointed 19 Provincial Court judges since 2012, others have retired and the overall complement has held steady in recent years, down about 10 per cent from pre-2009 levels. Anton said more money isn’t the only solution to the system’s challenges, adding more emphasis is being put on improved courthouse administration. NDP justice critic Leonard Krog said the improvement is partly due to the province taking a more co-operative, less confrontation approach to the judiciary. “It’s trending in the right direction,” Krog said, but added more must be done. “It’s great that people on the criminal justice side are getting more access to justice. It’s disappointing that ordinary citizens seeking justice on the family and civil side still face significant delays.”

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Varying genres tackled by student actors, directors Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Contributed photo

Pyper De Marsh and Siavra Valderson appear in Split, by Mikayla Poustie.

Those who think it’s still too early for Christmas should be heartened by Earl Marriott Secondary’s latest evening of oneact plays – not one of which seems to come with a single sprig of holly attached. As usual, the presentation (Dec. 4-5, 7:30 p.m., at the school’s Wheelhouse Theatre) promises to be an entertaining and rewarding showcase for actors ranging from Grades 9-12, and the vision of student directors (and in some cases, playwrights) currently in their senior year.

This season’s offerings include Showtime, directed by Haley Pattenden and co-directed by Cassidy Johnson; The Game, directed by Rory Falls with the assistance of Zack Souvryn; Split, written and directed by Mikayla Poustie; and Lessons in Fear, directed by Madison McCallum. Pattenden and Johnson explain that Showtime chronicles the comic attempts of a director to stage Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet at an elementary school, in a production doomed by mischance such as a broken ankle and students suffering from heatstroke.

Does the show go on? “It starts…” Pattenden said, “but it ends pretty quickly.” The Game, Falls said, is a struggle of the personified Life and Death over a young couple who have formed suicide pact (Emily Fenton and Harrison Francis-Lyster). “I really like the concept and how abstract it was – theatre can really do this,” he said. Poustie wrote Split for a directing class last year and was encouraged to present as part of the one-act festival by drama instructor Candace Radcliffe. › see page A38

Brownies, potters unite

Craft share Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Thanks to a $1,200 City of Surrey cultural grant, Semiahmoo Potters Society members recently had an opportunity to share their crafting skills with the First Peninsula Brownies. In sculpting and painting sessions earlier this month at Mount Olive Lutheran Church Hall, members of the society helped the Brownies create and decorate unique masks – partly inspired by a mask-making workshop they had themselves taken with B.C. potter Bob Kingsmill at his Granville Island Studio. Potter Diane Petersen said that working with the children – which society members have done before – illustrates the ongoing community involvement of the organization, which will display its own wares at its annual Christmas sale at Ocean Park Community Hall this weekend – Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Included are new slab art and masks, also inspired by Kingsmill’s workshop. “We’re excited about a lot of the new things we’re doing,” Petersen said, adding the sale offers a lot of unique Christmas gift options for buyers. “A lot of us have been burning the midnight oil for this one.” Petersen said the grant money from the city enabled the not-for-profit society to

greenware, and others returned the bisqued masks to the Brownies and helped them paint their masterpieces.” Also on hand was noted local potter Don Hutchinson – who shares his Granville Island studio with Kingsmill, and who currently hosts the society’s monthly

activities at his South Surrey studio. “Don had fun conversing with the little artists, delighted by the far-reaching effects of Bob’s workshop,” Petersen said. “Many of the children had never played with clay before – their excitement with ceramics was magical.”

James Walker as Boris and Chelsea Tucker as Ivana flank Sheena Johnston as Anastasia in the upcoming pantomime The Frog Princess.

The Frog Princess offers humour for all ages

Upbeat family fun Alex Browne Arts Reporter

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to remind Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society president Dann Wilhelm that the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Christmas pantomimes are a family affair â&#x20AC;&#x201C; often with multiple generations of many clans â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;treading the boardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; together. His daughter, Willow, 8, is very much in evidence as a member of the chorus in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was very thrilled to try out and work on a show with Daddy,â&#x20AC;? he said proudly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much a natural for her. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a second-generation panto person â&#x20AC;&#x201C; third, actually, because my dad helped out on several of the shows.â&#x20AC;? 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 thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an original panto written for us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been trying to do that for the last few years,â&#x20AC;? Wilhelm said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very funny â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with a lot of different types of humour, from highbrow to low-brow and very physical comedy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and lots of upbeat musical numbers.â&#x20AC;?

A large part in determining the choice of songs is played by musical director Timothy Tucker who is (the family connection, again) the father of Chelsea Tucker, who plays principal villainess, the glamorous Ivana Castacurski, in the set-in-mythicalRussia panto. She, aided and abetted by not-toobright son Boris (noted scene-stealer James Walker), is responsible for turning Princess Anastasia (Sheena Johnston) into a frog, part of her scheme to marry Anastasiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father the Tsar (Adrian Duncan). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheena was head of costumes on the last couple of shows and is also a talented actor with very nice singing voice â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to get her on stage for a change,â&#x20AC;?

Spring Warm Up, Arizona, Palm Springs, San Francisco, San Diego April 5 - 23rd, 2014: 19 Days

By Kelly Young, Travel Consultant, Marlin Travel White Rock 604-538-4499 “India” has always been on my “Bucket List”, so this past April I decided to travel on Collette’s “Mysteries of India” tour to this exotic country! The tour I chose was perfect, as it was one of Collette’s specialized, “Explorations” small group tour, so it was great travelling with just 12 passengers, unlike the other tours of 35-45 passengers. It was definitely a more intimate experience, where everyone got to know each other, and travelling in a small group allows you to see the sights and excursions with ease. Even our group lunches and dinners were far more enjoyable! After arriving Delhi late at night, we had the luxury of Collette tours picking us up at the airport and whisking us off to the Hilton, Delhi in a wonderful airconditioned taxi with two cold bottles of water! After a full day of rest, we toured the ancient city of Old Delhi by rickshaw, winding along the very narrow and very crowded streets…one of the craziest and more memorable tours that I have been on! Delhi is full of contrasts…from Old Delhi to New Delhi! A definite must to any trip to India! From Delhi to Udaipur and Jaipur, known as the “Pink City”, where you can n ride an elephant to the top of Amber Fort, India’s former seat of power! From Jaipur to Ranthambore, you can embark on a game drive to try and spot some of the very few tigers that are left in India, or just take time to relax at the poolside and enjoy the tranquility quility of the area. area ..and one of the “highlights” of India, and a must, is travelling to Agra to visit the Taj Mahal! Collette tours will provide this for you in style! At sunrise, you will bard a “tonga”, or horse carriage, that takes you to the gates of the Taj Mahal! A truly amazing and magical experience shared by all! The Taj Mahal took 20 years and 20,000 men to build. Built by the Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan as his expression of love for his wife. Truly one of the most beautiful and spectacular wonders of the world! The tour ends in Varanasi…. cruise along the River Ganges, where the local people are virtually cleaning themselves of their sins, in the river! If “India” is one of those places that intrigues your senses, then please join us and Collette tours next February for our “Mysteries of India” tour, with the optional tour to Dubai! Once in a life time tour! India will allow all of your five senses come alive!

We have gathered up all the favorite places South and put together an amazing itinerary of Fun! Relaxation! and Adventure. It’s the Palm Springs Follies “Last Hurrah”, yes the last year they will be in production. We are expecting the cacti to be in full bloom in Joshua Tree National Park. Arizona offers Tucson, Phoenix and the jewels of the desert. San Francisco here we come! Step outside your hotel in the heart of Fisherman’s Wharf. In San Diego choose between exploring Sea World or the amazing animals in the San Diego Zoo. Return on Hwy 101 through the giants of California Redwoods.

Cyclo-cross nationals return Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Some of the country’s top mountain bikers will be hopping on their bikes and hitting the trails at the South Surrey Bike Park this weekend, as Canadian Cyclo-cross Championships are set to return for a second straight year. On Saturday morning – the first race begins at 10:30 a.m. – the national championships will be staged, and among those expected to compete are six-time national champion and World Cup competitor Wendy Simms, and Olympic mountainbikers Catharine Pendrel and Geoff Kabush. The following day, riders from throughout the province and the Lower Mainland will compete in BC Grand Prix of Cyclo-cross races, also beginning at 10:30 a.m. In both races, national titles, cash prizes and UCI racing points will be at stake for riders in all race categories. Cyclo-cross racing combines the off-road aspects of mountain biking with road cycling, and tracks also include obstacles throughout the course. Originating in Europe, the sport has gained popularity in North America in recent years. Cyclo-cross events have been held in South Surrey numerous times as far back as the early2000s, when Surrey’s Bayside Cycling Club

held events at Crescent Park. There are now more than 10 sanctioned

cyclo-cross races in the Lower Mainland, with many races drawing more than 200 riders.

uestion: My uncle gave me an enduring power of attorney and because he is now incapable of managing his affairs by reason of mental inÀrmity my power of attorney has been activated. My friend has told me that this gives me the right to change the beneÀciaries on my uncle’s will, and he proposes that we change the beneÀciary to include a person who both my friend and I feel deserves some money from my uncle’s estate. Can I do this?

nswer: No. A power of attorney does not enable an attorney to change beneÀciaries under a will. The new Power of Attorney Act allows holders on the enduring powers of attorney to change beneÀciaries under RRIF’s insurance and similar documents, but a Supreme Court order is required. The Supreme Court historically monitors such changes very closely.

MacInnes, Gwendolen Peggy Peg was born in Shoreham, Kent, England on April 26, 1918. She passed away in her 96th year on November 18th, 2013 at Peace Arch Hospital. Predeceased by her husband, Jim, her daughter, Barbara and her newborn grandson, Fraser. Survived by her son John and his wife Mary, grandsons James

OBITUARIES

and Andrew and their mother Allyson, as well as Mary’s children Jamie and Greg. Also survived by cousins, nieces, nephews and extended family far too numerous to mention but fondly remembered. Peg emigrated with her family to Canada at 2 years of age. She spent much of her summers at Crescent Beach, where, in her youth, she competed with the swimming and diving teams and where she met Jim. Throughout the war, Peg worked with BC Telephone Co. as an overseas long distance operator. Peg married Jim in 1946. Their daughter Barbara was born in 1949, followed by their son John in 1951. She golfed at Shaughnessy GC and enjoyed her annual trips to Pennask Lake, Maui and Worlcombe Island. When Jim passed away in 1997, Peg moved permanently to Crescent Beach. When Barbara passed away in 2008, her friends and family worried that Peg would find herself isolated, living away from them in Vancouver. On the contrary, she thrived. She loved playing bridge with her many friends, gardening, her daily crosswords and watching sports. Peg was determined to live independently. And with the wonderful support of her friends and neighbours, she did. Peg recently entered hospital and within two weeks, she passed peacefully away, leaving behind a full appointment calendar, a full fridge and a flower box full of begonias. A very heartfelt thanks for their kindness over the years to Kris and Perry, Peg’s neighbours in the truest sense.

She lived/worked in White Rock/S. Surrey for 48 years. Passed away at Peach Arch hospital at the age of 83. There will be a celebration of Helen’s life on Sun Dec 1st at the Royal Canadian Legion White Rock Branch #8, 2290 152nd St Sry B.C. from 2pm-3pm. Contact: Son Darrin 778-868-5234

ADVERTISE in the LARGEST OUTDOOR PUBLICATION IN BC The 2014-2016 BC Hunting Regulations Synopsis

PATTISON, Ron 1947 - 2013 Our dear Husband, Father and Granda (Nano), Ron Pattison passed away on Nov 22nd at 8:45 am with the sun on his cheeks and the Northumbrian pipes playing; surrounded by his loving wife, Christine and daughters, Jayne & Kate. Ron loved sailing, the ocean, the salty sea air, a pint on Friday with his best mates, and of course, music. He was a charismatic soul loved by all. He had such a zest for life and fun times, which is why he had an abundance of love in his life. He fought a courageous and brave battle with Mesothelioma, a deadly and aggressive cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. He will be sorely missed by all. The most sincerest of thanks to Dr. Joshi, Maureen and the entire team on the Palliative & Hospice floor of Peace Arch Hospital and Kit of Home Health. Ron is pre-deceased by his son, Timothy (2008); and leaves behind to mourn, his loving and devoted wife of 45 years, Christine; daughters Jayne (Wes) & Kate (Cam); grandchildren, Chloe, Havana, Riviera, Jacob and step-grandchildren, Chelsye & Max. Also, to mourn Ron are his family in England and an abundance of friends here and across the sea. Viewings will be held Thursday, Nov. 28th from 6:00 8:00 pm and Friday, Nov. 29th at 3:00 pm, followed by a Celebration of Life at 4:00 pm (Friday) at Victory Funeral Centre, 14831 28 Avenue, Surrey, BC. All are welcomed to celebrate this unique man’s life. Donations would be gratefully accepted at the White Rock / South Surrey Hospice Society.

Tolling reform – in which a fee is applied to all Metro Vancouver bridges – would ease the pressure on free crossings like the Pattullo Bridge, Transportation Minister Todd Stone says.

‘Issue of fairness’ if Pattullo, Massey bridges also tolled

Bridge-toll reform floated by minister Jeff Nagel Black Press

Transportation Minister Todd Stone is pledging to review B.C.’s provincial-tolling policy that currently blocks tolls on existing roads and bridges, adding he’s concerned about the unfair proliferation of tolled crossings of the Fraser River in Metro Vancouver. Stone isn’t yet saying if he’s ready to support road pricing, which Metro mayors want to pursue to help fund TransLink, or perhaps small tolls on all the region’s bridges – an idea repeatedly voiced by Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts. But any tolling reform would first require the province to alter the policy, which allows tolls to be applied only to new infrastructure and only when there’s a reasonable free alternative for motorists who don’t want to pay. That proviso has drawn scorn from drivers in Surrey, who now pay to cross the Port Mann Bridge, in addition to the Golden Ears Bridge, and must divert to the aging Pattullo Bridge to avoid paying. “Our tolling policy is over 10 years old,” Stone told Surrey Board of Trade members Thursday, and acknowledged that the Pat-

questions” about the validity of the policy if both the Pattullo and Massey crossings are also tolled, leaving the Alex Fraser as the only free crossing. Stone also told the business audience he expects to officially open the full 40-kilometre $1.26-billion South Fraser Perimeter Road before Christmas. Stone sidestepped questions on whether light rail or SkyTrain technology should be used to extend rapid transit in Surrey. The minister had no answers on what the referendum question will be or when the vote will take place, except that he hopes to work all that out with the mayors “very soon.” “All of us have an interest in making sure this transit referendum succeeds,” he told the business leaders, adding road congestion costs the region $1.5 billion a year. He said he wants the costs of the referendum minimized, and noted the price tag changes depending on whether or not the plebiscite is conducted with the 2014 municipal elections and whether it’s a conventional vote or a mail-in ballot. Any new funding sources going to refer-

endum must be affordable for voters, Stone added. Many mayors and other observers have said they fear voters will shoot down any higher taxes for TransLink, leaving the region mired in worsening gridlock. But Stone countered that 60 other jurisdictions in North America have held transitimprovement votes since 2012 and three quarters of them have approved higher taxes. The key to success, he said, is a very clear, compelling vision, a large coalition of supporters, a simple specific question and usually just one funding source. NDP transportation critic Claire Trevena said the referendum strategy is wrongheaded and the government should instead give the mayors’ council the power and responsibility to raise the money TransLink needs. “You don’t go to referendum for every question, you elect representatives to answer them,” Trevena said. “To be turning around to the people every day and saying we’re going to have a referendum on this is American-style politics, it’s not our style of politics.”

Study reports jump in HandyDart trip denials Jeff Nagel Black Press

A union-funded study is blaming TransLink for a seven-fold jump in the number of HandyDart users denied trips over the past five years and warns the situation is set to get much worse as the number of seniors grows. The report by transportation planner Eric Doherty says the number of HandyDart trip denials doubled last year to 37,690 and that number has skyrocketed from less than 5,000 in 2008. The number of seniors over 70 is growing at more than two and a half times the rate of growth of the general population, it warns, rising by an expected 40 per cent over the next decade. But without approval of new funding for TransLink, the HandyDart budget is expected to remain frozen for years to come, leaving the custom-transit system increasigly unable to meet demand. Doherty’s report, on behalf of the union representing HandyDart drivers, argues TransLink is inappropriately attempting to force more custom transit users who have disabilities onto regular transit. It warns allowing service to deteriorate will isolate vulnerable

HandyDart passengers without access to transit. It’s the latest volley from the Amalgamated Transit Union in a running battle with TransLink officials after they contracted out all HandyDart service to MVT Canadian Bus. Also enraging the union was TransLink’s decision this year – after urging by auditors – to use cheaper taxis to provide more trips with the same amount of money. The shift of 15,000 service hours or two per cent of the total to taxis meant layoffs for a few HandyDart drivers and a drop from fulltime status for some others. Martin Lay, TransLink’s director of transit services, said the taxi pilot project is so far on track to meet its goal of generating 7,000 more trips for users than would otherwise have been provided. “We’re very happy with how that productivity part is working,” he said. Lay wouldn’t say how far TransLink might go in expanding taxi use next year – if that’s recommended in a forthcoming report to the board. But he insisted Metro Vancouver’s custom transit service is not alone in taking such a step. Calgary’s system also puts 46 per cent of custom-transit

Reactor issue leads to isotope shortage Jeff Nagel Black Press

Some non-urgent nuclear-medicine tests may be postponed this week at B.C. healthcare facilities due to a temporary shortage of medical isotopes after production was briefly disrupted at an Ontario reactor late last week. Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd.’s aging Chalk River facility resumed production of molybdenum-99 over the weekend. But officials at the Provincial Health Services Authority said it will take several days for B.C. hospitals to be fully resupplied, and some patients may be contacted to reschedule their tests.

B.C. health authorities share and co-ordinate isotope supplies during such shortages, which have happened several times in the past. The radioactive isotopes have a short half life measured from hours to weeks so they can’t be stockpiled for long periods. They’re used for bone scanning, myocardialperfusion imaging, as well as thyroid, lung, liver and other organ imaging. Fluid containing the radioactive material is injected into more than 50,000 Fraser Health patients per year, allowing medical imaging tests to detect the extent of cancer, for example.

A new report says the number of trips denied by HandyDart has skyrocketed since 2008. passengers on taxis, Lay per cent of the trips. said, while Montreal The pilot initially has a fleet of just 100 switched passengers HandyDart buses and from HandyDart uses taxis for at least 70 to taxis on the four

costliest routes where HandyDart minibuses must often deadhead back empty. They connect Surrey and White Rock to either Vancouver and New Westminster. Lay said the number of trips denied this year so far is running at 30,534 as of the end of September, equivalent to about three per cent of all trips. Asked if the statistics are cause for alarm, Lay said he doubts trip denials were being recorded “with the

same rigour” a few years ago as they are today by unionized staff on the lookout for evidence of trouble. Doherty’s report argues trip denial statistics may not fully reflect unmet demand, as people give up booking trips they know will be denied. Jane Dyson, executive director of the B.C. Coalition for People with Disabilities, said she’s seen no groundswell of protest from passengers over the increased use of

taxis, which she said many users find more convenient. She said taxis are a more cost-effective way of providing service given TransLink’s funding restraints and the coalition supports expanding their use – as is done in other cities. “We’re quite okay in principle with this, providing the taxi drivers are properly trained and customtransit passengers have a choice,” Dyson said. “We don’t have a problem with it.”

7th Annual

Premier dismisses new environmental study

Clark pitches LNG to Asia Tom Fletcher

TRAIN the TRAINER DONATIONS GRATEFULLY ACCEPTED

Black Press

Premier Christy Clark set off Thursday on her fourth trade mission to Asia, after sidestepping questions about the environmental impact of liquefied natural gas export plants on the Kitimat-area environment. A new report from environment group Skeena Wild concludes that if three LNG processing plants are built to burn natural gas for compression and cooling – what the industry calls direct drive – they would use two and a half times more gas than Metro Vancouver. The report calls for modern gas-fired power plants to be built outside the narrow Kitimat Valley to reduce the impact of sulphur dioxide and other pollutants that affect air and water quality. Speaking to reporters at Vancouver airport, Clark rejected the report’s claim that the government has “tacitly endorsed” the use of direct-drive production of LNG. “The study can’t have final answers on any of that, because they don’t know yet how liquefied natural gas plants will be powered,” Clark said. “We don’t know how many there will be. We’re still in negotiations with the companies about how all that’s going to unfold.”

B.C. government photo

Premier Christy Clark is in Asia for a two-week trade mission. Environment Minister Mary Polak said in an interview that one LNG proposal has applied for an environmental assessment, and two others are in discussions on B.C.’s technical requirements for a permit and how the plants would be powered. “Nothing like that has been finalized yet, and of course we are concerned about what that means for a constrained airshed like Kitimat, because we know that there are a number of facilities proposed for Kitimat,” Polak said. Polak announced in October that $650,000 has been spent on a study of LNG impact in

northwestern B.C. Results are expected by the end of March. U.S. Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Malaysian LNG investors expected to make final investment decisions on B.C. proposals later in 2014. The expansion of Rio TintoAlcan’s aluminum smelter has already required a 50 per cent increase in the plant’s allowable sulphur dioxide emissions, from 27 to 42 tonnes a day. New technology is expected to reduce the smelter’s output of fine particulates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, fluoride and other pollutants when the upgrade is in operation in 2014.

Metro fees up slightly

$1 in January to $108 per tonne. Water and sewage operations and projects together account for more than two-thirds of Metro spending. Sixteen per cent goes for garbage and recycling, 10 per cent goes to regional district functions like regional parks, planning and administration, and six per cent goes to Metro’s housing corporation.

The average Metro Vancouver household will pay an estimated $423 in regional district-levied utility fees and property taxes in 2014. That’s an increase of $5 or 1.2 per cent from this year, according to Metro. The overall Metro budget is up $7.8 million to $647.1 million. editorial@peacearchnews.com Metro will spend $189 million ‘Dentist’ in custody on drinking water-system Metro Vancouver’s rogue dentist is in upgrades and repairs, $85 million on sewage custody after turning himself in to police in infrastructure and nearly $18 million on Toronto last week. waste-related capital upgrades, including the Tung Sheng (David) Wu, 62, had been a garbage incinerator in Burnaby.

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

Coolest cars ever Some cars just ooze cool, especially those with a high price tag, sexy good looks and the “right” people driving them. Here are four of the coolest classics of all time along with the film and music legends who drove them and pushed their cool factor over the top: 1. 1964 Aston Martin DB5: James Bond’s long-standing association with this iconic British GT began in 1964, in “Gold Finger: 007.” Rob Sass You’ll be using this Aston Martin DB5, with modifications.” Whether you love the gadgets like the machine guns and ejector seat or you’re just a fan of its classic Italian styling by Touring Superleggera and chrome wire wheels, the DB5 has more cool in the air of its tires than the entire first season of “Mad Men.” 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder: James Dean was a budding race car driver of some talent. He ordered what was then Porsche’s fastest dual-purpose (race/street) car available, and after wrapping “Giant,” had famed customizer Dean Jeffries paint in script on the car “Little Bastard.” Whether that was a reference to the car itself, or a reference made to Dean by studio head Jack Warner isn’t clear. What is clear is that Dean tragically perished in the car on his way to a race in Salinas, Calif., at the age of 24, remaining forever young and sparing fans from a Brando-esque decline. Dean and the 550 were the originators of the cool ethos “live fast, die young and leave a good-

Continental was a division unto itself for those years, and to this day it remains America’s best attempt at building a car of Rolls-Royce or Bentley calibre. At 10 grand, it was double the cost of the average Cadillac and so much hand labor went into the car that Ford estimates they lost $1,000 on each one. The Mark II’s spot in the iconography of cool comes from its association with the Rat Pack during its Vegas/Palm Springs glory years. Rob Sass is the vice-president of content for Hagerty Insurance.

Ford and Coca-Cola have embarked upon an eco-marriage. They’re both extensive users of plastic and both are committed to recycling and finding eco-alternatives. The first offspring of this somewhat unusual realtionship is the Ford Fusion Energi with a PlantBottle Technology interior. PlantBottle Technology is the first-ever recyclable PET plastic bottle made partially from plants, instead of petroleum-derived materials. Already, more than 18 billion of these bottles have been distributed in 28 countries and Coca-Cola claims that this is equivalent to 400,000 barrels of oil saved. Using recycled PlantBottle bottles, Ford has produced the first-ever fiber that can be woven into durable, automotive-grade PET fabric. Fusion Energi is the plug-in hybrid version of Ford’s global midsize car and it’s Ford’s most fuel-efficient sedan. Sound-absorbing recycled denim material, equivalent to more than two average-sized pairs of blue jeans, are also used in the car’s carpet liner and Ford already uses soy foam, made with soybeans, in every vehicle it builds in North America.

This system automatically guides the vehicle into a parallel parking spot, while the driver controls the gas and brake pedals. A Lane-Keeping system is available on 11 Ford models today. This uses a forward-facing camera to scan the road surface for lane markings. The system evaluates if the vehicle is drifting out of its lane and alerts the driver by vibrating the steering wheel. If the driver does not respond, the system provides steering torque to nudge the vehicle back toward the centre of the lane. Adaptive cruise control and collision

By Nigel Matthews Looking into my automotive crystal ball, I see a number of reasonably priced Japanese cars with the potential to go up in value, not down. And while you wait for their price to rise these collector cars of the future should give you endless driving pleasure – that is until you sell! Now to be fair, I’ve not always been right. In 1973, I recall talking to a man, who had just returned to the UK from Australia. He told me about a car called a Honda Civic, which would make a Mini look ridiculous in comparison. My immediate reaction was that the Mini did not have anything to worry about. Japanese cars were cheap and would not catch on. How wrong was I? I can tell you that early Japanese cars are becoming much sought after, so let’s look at some that are still affordable, if you can find a survivor or rust-free example. 1973-1979: Honda Civic: The Honda Civic was introduced during the OPEC oil crisis, first as a two-door and then a three-door hatchback. The transversely mounted (similar to the Mini) 1169 cc engine driving the front-wheels was very peppy and spacious. The Civic was similar to other “Made in Japan” items and considered a throw away automobile and that is exactly what happened to most of them. If you can find a pristine, rust free example, wrap it in cotton wool, it won’t command over $1 million as some Toyota 200GTs have recently but it will increase in value as time goes by. Pay $4,000 $9,000. 1990-1999 Mazda Miata: Introduced in May of 1989, the Miata is considered the Japanese Lotus Elan. Unlike the thoroughbred and somewhat finicky Lotus engine, the Miata’s four-cylinder, twin-cam, four-valves-per cylinder engine is very reliable. In an eight-year production run, 430,000 first generation Miatas were built. This rock solid, rearwheel-drive sports car does not rattle or shake like most convertibles. The soft top can be raised and lowered effortlessly with just one hand. Pay $5,500 - $9,000. 1990-1999 Toyota MR2: The second generation MR2 was larger and weighed (160 to 180 kg) more than its square predecessor. The body styling was now much more streamlined; if you use your imagination, it has a resemblance to both the Ferrari 348 and the Ferrari F355. Because of this, the new MR2 was labeled by some as “The poor man’s Ferrari.” Pay $5,250 - $7,000

FOR

1993-1995 Mazda RX-7: The twin sequential turbocharged RX-7 is a model that has generally been overlooked by many.
