ANOTHER BUS STOP CRASH

▶ THIRD PERSON THIS MONTH HIT BY A VEHICLE AT A TRANSIT SHELTER IN SURREY

LACK OF SURREY SCHOOL SPACE ‘CRITICAL’

KEVIN DIAKIW

A woman is lucky to have avoided serious injury after a truck crashed into a bus stop where she was waiting. At about 9 a.m. Wednesday, a Ford F150 pick-up, driven by a 17-year-old male, was heading east on 60 Avenue and turning north onto 152 Street. The driver lost control of the truck and smashed into a bus shelter, shattering the glass at the back of the structure. Police say a woman who was waiting for the bus was not struck directly by the truck, but was thrown through the back of the shelter and sustained minor injuries. It’s the third time this month that a person has been injured by a car while waiting at a bus stop. At just after 6 p.m. Oct. 8, a white Corvette was travelling north on King George Boulevard near 96 Avenue when it lost control, struck a fire hydrant and crashed into a bus shelter, hitting a pedestrian. The driver fled on foot and jumped into a cab, but was later arrested. The passenger in the Corvette and the pedestrian at the bus stop were seriously injured. The day before that crash, 22-year-old Evan Archibald was killed when a Jeep driven by a 17-year-old struck him while

he waited at a bus stop on Fraser Highway near 156 Street. Both of these incidents are still under investigation. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann noted bus stops tend to be located close to intersections, where a majority of accidents take place. As for transit users, Schumann said it’s always a good idea to be extra mindful. “Certainly, whenever you’re

near the road, even just going down the sidewalk, you should try to be as aware of your surroundings as possible,” he said. “Not only for vehicles, but also for strangers.” Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said the series of bus stop accidents appear to be an unfortunate anomaly. She said redesigning shelters to better protect transit users would be premature.

“Is it such a significant issue that we should do something about the design of a bus shelter?” Hepner asked. “Probably not, in my opinion.” Anyone who witnessed any of these incidents and has not yet spoken with police is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-5990502 or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-8477 or www. solvecrime.ca

While shrinking school districts get compensation for their declining enrolment, Surrey has had to cut staff to pay for portables for its ever-growing student population. And that, says the school board chair, simply isn’t fair. Shawn Wilson pointed to what trustees feel is inequitable treatment as part of a presentation made earlier this month to the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services. He said the province has provisions to cover unique costs for districts where student numbers are dwindling, but there’s nothing offered to districts like Surrey that incur extraordinary costs due to increasing enrolment. continued on page 4

Illegal smokes widely available: Study ▼ SURREY’S TAMANAWIS SECONDARY HAS HIGHEST RATE OF ILLICIT CIGARETTES AMONG B.C. SCHOOLS

JEFF NAGEL

Contraband or counterfeit cigarettes that avoid government taxes and are often sold to teens are much more readily available in B.C. than Alberta, according to a new study. Illegal smokes made up 15 per cent of the discarded butts sampled at sites across B.C., including schools and hospitals, compared to

10 per cent in Alberta. The survey was commissioned by the Western Convenience Stores Association (WCSA), which wants the province to crack down on the illegal sales. WCSA president Andrew Klukas admits his members have a motive to get more customers in their stores, but insists it’s in the public interest. “To see this going on across

the street from us, to see these products being sold without tax to kids, without any age testing or any controls, is extremely frustrating,” Klukas said. The rate of illegal tobacco found in butts discarded at B.C. schools was 15.5 per cent, the highest in western Canada. Surrey’s Tamanawis Secondary had the highest rate among B.C. schools – 19.7 per cent of discarded

butts there were illicit smokes. The rate was nearly 39 per cent outside the Passport Canada office in downtown Vancouver, nearly 32 per cent at UBC and about 25 per cent at Terrace’s Mills Memorial Hospital, as well as a federal government building in Surrey’s Newton area. continued on page 5

MONEY MYTHS

While moving BNSF’s tracks from the South Surrey and White Rock waterfront to an inland route was a frequently raised local issue during the recent federal election – and remains the subject of ongoing discussion between Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner and White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin – the jury is still out on whether it is a practical option, according to BNSF spokesperson Gus Melonas. He reiterated the long-time official position of the U.S.-based railway last Friday. “BNSF is willing to review any officially sanctioned plan to move the line,” he said. But, he warned, residents should not expect any steps to be taken soon. “Realistically, it would be a very difficult undertaking,” he said. “We’re talking about moving an active rail line that is essential, that plays a critical role in the Canadian economy in moving goods as well as providing passenger service.”

And Melonas noted the company has made significant recent investment in upgrading infrastructure in the existing corridor. That includes $5-10 million spent in the last three years alone, among it a $1.5-million upgrade of the Little Campbell River bridge. Ongoing improvements to trestles in the Mud Bay area will amount to $15 million, he added. “And we’re beginning construction plans to replace another trestle which will be completed next year, for another $5 million.” Moving the tracks from the current alignment, he said, is “easier said than done.” “It would be extremely expensive and the big question is where you’d be moving it to.” A staff report to Surrey council estimates that a technical study of moving the tracks would cost at least $700,000.

“The playing field is uneven when we must reduce teaching staff to pay for portables while other district budgets are effectively compensated for vacant space,” Wilson said. A lack of capital (building) money has left Surrey bustling with more than 70,000 students and not enough school space to put them in. The 300 portables housing the student overflow cost $15,000 apiece annually, equating to $4.5 million from Surrey’s operating budget. And that’s enough to pay about 50 teachers. “While we acknowledge receiving a lion’s share of funding over the past decade, our sit-

uation remains critical,” said Wilson. “Surrey has more students in portables than half of B.C. school districts have in total enrolment.” Surrey submitted its capital wish list to government last week, with a new high school in the Grandview Heights area once again topping the list. The district already owns land near the nearly completed swimming pool and has been waiting for government funding to proceed with construction. Even if announced today, the $47-million school would take three years to build, leaving Earl Marriott Secondary (EMS) and other overcrowded schools continuing to scramble. EMS and three other Surrey high schools already run double shifts

(with different grades attending at alternate times). Wilson said while that was once a temporary measure used in extraordinary circumstances, it’s become the norm in B.C.’s largest school district. A “well-supported, well-articulated and transparent” capital plan is needed so adequate facilities can be provided for students, said the school board chair, who added the province also needs to stop encouraging school districts to bring in international students without allowing them to be counted in school capacity calculations. During his presentation, Wilson also touched on shared services, a concept wherein districts can share costs for things all districts

use. As a large district in a major urban region, Surrey doesn’t feel it’s always financially beneficial to be part of it and would like the board to have a choice whether to participate, rather than it be mandated. Surrey’s final concern brought to the standing committee was the need for a “robust, fully-funded” compensation plan for exempt (non-union) staff, who have not had a wage increase for six years. Wilson said it’s making it difficult to recruit leadership and managers, who “lag behind” those they supervise. “We have and will continue to experience ‘brain drain’ as talented professionals leave the K-12 sector.” The Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services holds provincewide consultations each fall in preparation for the next provincial budget.

▼ RAIL MOVE WOULD BE COSTLY from page 3

The same report, supported by council – which has asked staff to investigate cost sharing for a feasibility study with the province and White Rock – estimates that actually moving the tracks could cost $350450 million, and much more if the new route involved underground construction. South Surrey-White Rock MP-elect Dianne Watts – an advocate, as Surrey mayor, for moving the route – has suggested plans for anticipated high-speed service between Seattle and Vancouver may force the issue of realigning the route. Melonas declined to discuss that possibility, however, deferring to Amtrak to comment on the status of high-speed service between the two cities.

The association argues high taxes and other government regulations have encouraged the underground tobacco business, where consumers can get cigarettes on the cheap. “A lot of people are using these products and they simply don’t understand it’s not victimless,” Klukas said. Besides the estimated $120 million a year in lost government tax revenue, he said the trade helps fuel organized crime in B.C. and across the country. Most of the unauthorized smokes sold in B.C. are produced on aboriginal reserves in Quebec or Ontario and are smuggled across the country, Klukas said. He said B.C. could follow other provinces and let municipal police forces keep the proceeds of crime, giving them

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Should the rail line that runs through the White Rock and South Surrey waterfront be re-routed inland ? To answer, go to the home page of our website at surreyleader.com

Last week we asked: Are you happy with the results of the federal election? Here’s how you responded:

Yes 51% No 49%

Facts, not feelings A proposed $700,000 technical study to look into moving the Burlington Northern Santa Fe tracks from the White Rock and South Surrey waterfront to a new alignment is an early indicator of how costly this idea is. Municipal politicians are already trying to shift the cost onto their neighbours. Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner says White Rock should foot a significant portion of the cost, while White Rock taxpayers likely think Surrey should pay for all but the consultant’s last cup of coffee. A move could benefit the waterfront residents of both communities, and if it ever takes place, the corridor should become a seawall. However, that’s a big if. BNSF points out it has spent millions in upgrading the line in recent years, including an expensive new bridge where it crosses the Serpentine River. That bridge alone has cost about $15 million. BNSF has also replaced the Little Campbell River trestle. Hepner says that, if any line realignment goes ahead, the new rail line would have to be underground for its entire length. Given that a relatively short piece of underground SkyTrain line along the Broadway corridor in Vancouver is proposed to cost close to $2 billion, it’s a reasonable guess the cost for an underground line from the U.S. border

to Cloverdale, more than 10 kilometres, would over $5 billion. That is assuming soil conditions in the low-lying farm area south of Cloverdale wouldn’t lead to significant additional costs. Where is this money coming from? BNSF certainly isn’t going to pay for the line relocation. It already has an existing line which it has spent millions in maintaining and upgrading each year. Local taxpayers could not afford even a one-third share of a $5-billion project, as is required in most federal-provincial infrastructure projects. Would the federal and provincial governments be willing to come up with their thirds? That is debatable, given the long list of pressing infrastructure needs such as transit improvements and replacement of crumbling bridges and overpasses. What is needed even more than a technical study is a thorough cost-benefit analysis. BNSF is criticized for running coal trains to Roberts Bank. The likelihood is these trains won’t be running that much longer, given even China agrees coalfired electricity plants need to be phased out. Hazardous goods will be hauled on any train, no matter where it goes. A tunnel does not guarantee there won’t be a derailment.

BNSF has proven to be a good operator, with no derailments along the waterfront line for many years. There is an significant problem at Crescent Beach, with emergency services unable to get into the residential area if a train blocks the tracks. That can be solved with an overpass – a far cheaper alternative to tunnel. Amtrak passengers would benefit from travel time savings if there was a direct line from Blaine to Cloverdale. However, the time saving would likely be no more than 10 to 15 minutes. Surrey and White Rock would benefit if the waterfront property could become a regional park and trail. However, BNSF is the owner of that land and won’t give it up for nothing. And what would happen to White Rock’s lucrative pay parking on BNSF property? These are some of the pros and cons of a possible new route. There are many others. It is important that any relocation move be driven by facts, not feelings. It is also important that taxpayers be kept in the loop, as any such project will cost them dearly.

Politicians: Get back on the right track Elected officials usually have no difficulty finding a political issue and staying on track. But when it comes to their various proposals to relocate the rail line that’s bordered the Semiahmoo Peninsula waterfront this past century, they’re getting way off course. Proponents of BNSF relocation – who’ve been raising the spectre of impending disaster increasingly since the 2013 Lac-Mégantic train tragedy in Quebec – say it’s well worth the hundreds of millions of dollars estimated to realign the route inland. However, the politicians who have backed their plan

– at least at various levels in the past – might be causing more harm than good for the communities they serve. Take Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner, who launched her successful run for the city’s highest office last year by telling Crescent Beach residents that if elected she would immediately engage in discussions with BNSF to have the tracks moved to a more direct, faster, safer route. Now, as of last week, she says realignment is worthy of consideration, but only if the tracks move underground. Take White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin, who has made train issues a priority through both of his terms.

While he’s been more steadfast on the issue than Hepner, he hasn’t done his proponents any favours by repeatedly provoking railway partners. Last year, in open council, he famously referred to a safety inspector as a “petty little bureaucrat.” Just last month, he told council that Transport Canada “laid down the law” to BNSF with regards to trainhorn blasts in the middle of the night. These apparent “miscommunications” have helped. Lastly, incoming-MP Dianne Watts launched her federal campaign in South

Now, she says only that rail relocation may be a part of her safety initiative. While it’s clear all three leaders have their communities’ best interests at heart, we suggest they meet publicly to discuss any realistic options. Anything less looks rather misdirected. – Peace Arch News

No good for most The train track relocation idea is not popular with approximately 98 per cent of the residents of Surrey. If the complainers don’t like living with the railroad tracks, then move away. They knew the train tracks were there before they bought their properties. They knowingly decided to purchase their homes anyway. The complainers are unethical because they have no problem dumping all their train issues on other innocent Surrey victims. They think they are better than the rest of us. The cost of track relocation would be

and reflect the wishes of the majority of Surrey. Train track relocation is an idea Surrey can easily do without. Anthony Rose

The best 15 kilometres of land in Canada lies along Surrey’s untouched foreshore between White Rock and Crescent Beach. It has the best weather, south exposure and views of the Gulf Islands and Mt. Baker. Few people have ever seen it because the railway prevents access. The Boundary Bay foreshore is the backyard to everyone living south of the Fraser River. Unlocking this national treasure is a benefit to us all, including those who should not have to pack up their family, bicycles, and picnics, then drive to Stanley Park or the islands to have a world-class seaside escape. Moving the track will connect the bay’s beaches to the Delta dyke, allowing a currently isolated ocean playground to be easily accessed and enjoyed by all of Surrey, as well as Delta. After completion of the new Massey bridge, Richmond, New Westminster and Vancouver will also be part of this enhanced recreational system. Working togeth-

er, B.C. will then have created an iconic green corridor from downtown Vancouver to the border, which will have a lasting positive lifestyle and economic benefit for the whole province.

$350 million to 1 billion, depending on the option selected. Surrey cannot afford this cost; it needs its financial funds for real issues, like crime and transportation infrastructure. Surrey should not waste these critical funds on the train track relocation wishes of two per cent of Surrey homeowners who deliberately chose to buy their properties, beside the train tracks. White Rock and the Surrey residents of Ocean Park and Crescent Beach like to say their motives are altruistic and not selfish, simply a logical request to prevent a possible catastrophe caused by contamination of hazardous goods. The evidence does not support this. The train tracks have been there for 106 years. Has there been an evacuation due to a derailment? Has there been a fatality due to hazardous goods? The trains slow down as they travel through the beach area. The risk of a derailment is extremely small. The main cargo is coal. Coal does not explode if it spills onto the ground. So what really are the issues? If Crescent Beach has a safety issue with their access road shut down by a possible train blockage, then I suggest a special levy on all of the Crescent Beach residents alone to fund an underpass beneath the train tracks. The Crescent Beach The two percent of Surrey residents along the beaches, will see their property values increase while the mistreated Surrey victims who will have the train track problems forced upon them will see their

The recently elected Liberal government pledged to increase Canada’s coastal marine protected areas from 1.3 per cent to five per cent by 2017 and 10 per cent by 2020. Now wouldn’t it be a feather in the Liberals’ cap if some of this protected area is right here in our own backyard? Boundary Bay, along with the Serpentine estuary, are part of a complex West Coast ecosystem of international importance. Identified as World Heritage site number 243 by the Ramsar convention (www.ramsar. org), the area provides feeding and roosting sites to about 250,000 migrating and wintering waterfowl and one million shorebirds. Also, provincially and federally listed fish species of concern can be found within the estuarine habitats. On the business side of things, this tidal basin provides for a vital local recreational, commercial and native crabbing industry. This is all threatened because the main artery between Canada and the U.S. for moving goods, including dangerous goods such as chlorine and ammonia, is a single rail track which winds its way along the edge of this environmentally sensitive area. Let’s not wait until it is too late and the damage is done. Let’s ensure the protection of this pristine area by relocating the track to a more suitable, inland route as soon as possible.

As Halloween falls on Saturday this year, Delta Police are anticipating a busy weekend with more calls for service than is typical, especially on Halloween night. In Delta, fireworks are also not permitted unless you are over 19 years old and hold a valid fireworks permit, available from the Delta Fire Department at the cost of $200. However, the permits had to be obtained at least 10 days prior to Halloween. Contravention of the bylaw can result in fines of $250. The non-emergency number for Delta Police is 604-946-4411.

Sanjha Vehra - Supporting Women with a Common Goal

anjha Vehra is an international women’s association. Sanjha Vehra, meaning “common courtyard,” has been in operation since 2002. It began with a group of women who started a “kitty party,” which they decided to continue each month...but with a specific purpose. The Sanjha Vehra will now exclusively support the Surrey Hospital & Outpatient Centre Foundation. A kitty party in India and Pakistan is a party usually organized by women. Kitty refers to the funds collected at the party, and every member contributes a certain sum of money each month. At these kitty parties, Sanjha Vehra provides a safe and inviting place for South Asian women to meet together to exchange ideas and discuss issues relating to their participation in Canadian Society. They continue to meet monthly to discuss how to advance the purposes of the organization. There are now Sanjha Vehra associations in Edmonton, Mississippi and Dallas. All four chapters meet on the same day. They also discuss the same topics to ensure the values and goals of the associations remain aligned. The Surrey chapter has grown from 10 members to more than 100, while the Edmonton, Mississippi and Dallas groups have about half that number. In 2005, the Sanjha Vehra began its annual event in support of raising funds to help breast cancer research. Five of the founding members of the Sanjha Vehra Women’s Association were diagnosed and treated for breast cancer. Every year since then, the Association continues fundraising as a tribute to these survivors. This fundraising event is always held in October. Sanjha Vehra approached the Surrey Hospital & Outpatient Centre Foundation in 2013 with a donation totaling $25,000 which they contributed towards the purchase of the SPY Elite Camera for the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre’s Breast Health Clinic.

The SPY Imaging Elite Camera provides comfort and relief to women undergoing breast reconstruction surgery after cancer treatment. It allows the surgeon to see inside the tissues to verify healthy blood flow of the skin and surrounding tissues. SPY helps to diagnose breast implant possibility at the time of breast removal instead of waiting few weeks after the surgery. This reduces post-operative infections by more than 50 per cent and other complications by 90 per cent. The 2015 Sanjha Vehra fundraiser was held last week and all donations will go towards funding more state-of-the-art equipment for the Breast Health Clinic.

“The reason we chose to support the Surrey Hospital & Outpatient Centre Foundation is because the funds raised are used to buy equipment which is going to treat breast cancer patients,” said Rani Mangat, Founder and Coordinator of Sanjha Vehra Women’s Association. “This way our association felt that the community can see for themselves the benefit of donating the funds.”

Fast facts about the Breast Health Clinic: • The clinic at the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre sees about 575 patients each month (6,900 annually); • 350 of these women will be new referrals from a family doctor because a lump or other breast abnormality has been found or because of an abnormal screening mammogram result; • In 2014, 23 per cent of patients were 40 years old or under; • Between June 2011 and June 2015, 51,000 patients have had appointments (including clinical exams, follow-ups, imaging and biopsies); • Close to 50 per cent of patients will receive a definitive diagnosis within one week. Another 27 per cent will receive a diagnosis within four weeks; and • 311 patients were diagnosed with cancer in 2014.

“This remarkable group of women is having a dramatic impact on thousands of patients every year. We are fortunate that they decided to give where they live and help people closer to home.” Jane Adams – President, Surrey Hospital and Outpatient Centre Foundation

Canada post halts mailbox rollout ▶ FREEZE COMES AFTER LIBERAL ELECTION WIN JEFF NAGEL

Canada Post is freezing its plan to end door-to-door mail delivery for hundreds of thousands of additional households and switch them to community mailboxes. The Crown corporation announced Monday it is “temporarily suspending” the deployment pending discussions with the incoming Liberal government on how “to determine the best path forward given the ongoing challenges faced by the Canadian postal system.” The Liberals had run on a promise to reverse the shift away from home delivery. Canada Post said 460,000 addresses across the country are in the process of being converted to community mail boxes and all conversions scheduled for November, December or 2016 will be put on hold. “Customers impacted by this decision will receive a letter within the next few weeks advising them of the status of their mail delivery service,” Canada Post said in a news release. “In neighbourhoods where the 10-month internal and community conversion process is complete, customers will collect mail and

parcels at their community mailbox. This includes customers set to begin receiving their mail and parcels in their boxes in October. We remain focused on maintaining reliable postal service to all Canadians without disruption.” Community mailboxes have been the target of criminals across the Lower Mainland, with residents in many neighbourhoods complaining their mail is too vulnerable to theft. The conversion has also been fought by the union representing postal employees. The shift to community mailboxes was supposed to ultimately save the Crown corporation up to $500 million a year. Conservative MP Mark Strahl (Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon) said he’ll be interested to see if Canada Post balances its budget through more efficiencies or if the new Liberal government intends to subsidize the shortfall. If subsidizing is part of the new plan, Strahl predicts taxpayers won’t be happy. “We’re talking about billions of dollars in taxpayer liability.” Only one third of Canadians still receive door to door service, he said, and traditional mail is being used less and less — one of the reasons the corporation’s revenue has dropped. – with files from Jessica Peters

Prime Minister-designate Justin Trudeau has vowed Canadians will never again elect a federal government with the first-past-thepost system. Opponents of the status quo say it’s unfair to smaller parties like the Greens, who end up with far fewer seats than their share of the popular vote. If Trudeau is serious about his promise to deliver electoral reform within 18 months, B.C. lawyer Bruce Hallsor has some advice: Consider the Single Trans-

ferable Vote (STV). That’s the ranked ballot system B.C. nearly adopted when it first went to referendum in 2005, falling just short of the 60 per cent threshold to pass. Voters rank their preferred candidates by priority, and their second, third and fourth choices can help more than one candidate get elected. Hallsor co-chaired the “yes” referendum campaigns on STV in both 2005 and 2009 (when it failed by wider margin) and remains a defender of the system. He pitches it as a less-radical option for change that would deliver many of the advantages of pure proportional representation but with fewer negatives. “I think you would find an STV system

The SCC did not agree that the wording of the ARP was ambiguous saying, “The plain meaning of s. 215.41(3.1) explicitly links the officer’s belief to the result of the ASD analysis.

parties because their candidates have almost no chance. Proportional representation (PR) would change that, unleashing votes back from mainstream parties. Besides more Greens in Parliament, there might be Libertarians or Christian Heritage Party MPs. As in the pizza parliaments of Europe, where far-right nationalist parties or orthodox religious parties gain sway, we might see more seats for Quebec separatists, even a Rob Ford-led party. The result would almost always be minority governments, haggling and horse-trading to build coalitions, and the end of stable fouryear majority rule. Hallsor said STV would still generate occasional majority governments, as well as stronger minorities than under PR. STV would see larger ridings, each with multiple MPs. There might be four seats each in new enlarged ridings like Victoria, Surrey and the Fraser Valley, but instead of those areas electing nearly all one party (NDP in Victoria, Liberal in Surrey or Conservative in the Valley), Hallsor said STV would tend to result in at least one more MP that’s not from the dominant party. “You get a little more diverse representation.”

MPs ‘more beholden’ with PR Hallsor admits a pure list-based PR system is simpler to understand. A party that gets 12 per cent of the vote gets 12 per cent of the seats. Those 40 seats go to the top 40 candidates on the party’s list. But PR leaves big question marks over who has a duty to represent voters in a given community. Detractors fear vast areas might go unrepresented. It also concentrates more power in the hands of party insiders who decide which candidates will go on continued on page 13

▶ CONCERN THE LIBERALS MIGHT LOSE APPETITE FOR REFORM from page 12

the party’s list and in what order. Complaints about MPs who parrot the party line, rather than voting according to local wishes, would multiply under PR, Hallsor predicts. “The reason you got elected is because you were placed high on the list,” he said. “So the MPs become even more beholden to their party leaders than they are now. Because they don’t have any pretense to represent any region or any small group of voters.” He argues STV would make MPs more responsive to local voters and more likely to act independently. “It’s not good enough for the party bosses to nominate you,” Hallsor said, noting STV forces candidates to compete against rivals in their own party and lets voters sift out the duds. He gives the example of Victoria, where one seat of four available under STV would likely go Conservative, in addition to perhaps two for the NDP and one Green. “If there’s only going to be one Conservative elected in Victoria – and there’s four Conservative candidates – you need to be the Conservative candidate that’s more connected with the voters than the others,” he said. Voters strongly aligned with one party can vote for all four of its candidates, or devote choices to a strong candidate from another party, or even to independents, who have no place in PR’s party list system. Having multiple MPs in a riding from a more representative mix of parties would offer citizens more choice when they need help. “I can try to talk to them all or I can decide, ‘This is the one that cares about this issue or that I connect with,’ “ Hallsor said. “So, as a voter, you don’t have to feel disenfranchised because you’re an NDPer living in a Conservative riding.” A PR variant called mixed member proportional would see voters mark their ballot both for a local candidate conventionally as well as for a party, with some seats doled out

according to party lists to deliver a more proportional result. Hallsor calls that an improvement from pure PR, but he said it’s unclear how either version could meet constitutional requirements that guarantee each province and territory a set number of MPs.

Will Liberals get cold feet? Will the Trudeau Liberals lose their appetite for reform now that they’ve won a majority with less than 40 per cent of the vote, an outcome that would never be repeated under a different system? Hallsor isn’t holding his breath. But if they press forward, he recommends a referendum be held to get voter consent to whichever system is unveiled. “I don’t think it’s good enough for Parliament just to pass a bill and say, ‘Here’s our new system.’ People inherently and for good reason distrust a bunch of politicians writing their own rules for how they get elected.” Trudeau has promised that an all-party committee will study the options but has not committed to a referendum. David Schreck, who co-chaired the “no” campaign against STV in B.C., also thinks government MPs’ may waver. “A third of them wouldn’t be there if not for first-past-the-post,” he noted. Schreck predicts Canadians would reject any specific proposal – once they see the details and hear the dueling arguments – as too distasteful or confusing, if it gets put to them. “The surest way to sandbag it and get out from having to implement his promise is to put it to a referendum.” SEATS EACH PARTY WON OCT. 19 Liberals – 184 Conservatives – 99 NDP – 44 Bloc Quebecois – 10 Greens – 1 IF DISTRIBUTED BY POPULAR VOTE, % Liberals – 134 Conservatives – 108 NDP – 67 Bloc Quebecois – 17 Greens – 12

Quads, dirt bikes need plates on Nov. 1 ▶ LICENCES MANDATORY FOR OFF-ROAD MACHINES IN B.C. TOM FLETCHER

The B.C. government is making licence plates mandatory for quads, dirt bikes and other off-road vehicles starting Nov. 1, requiring helmets and restricting use by children under 16. The B.C. legislation imposes a $230 fine for driving an unlicensed off-road vehicle, and a $368 fine for careless operation. For some offences under the Off-Road Vehicle Act related to reckless use or environmental damage, penalties can go as high as a $5,000 fine and six months in jail. Forests Minister Steve Thomson said the $48 licence fee applies only once when a vehicle is purchased, and was set to recover the costs of the program administered by ICBC. Once startup costs are paid for, a portion of the licence revenue will go to off-road clubs to use for trail improvements, Thomson said. The province estimates there are 200,000 off-road vehicles that require licensing, including snowmobiles that have been licensed since the 1970s. About 35,000 of those have registered voluntarily since the new licences were offered a year ago. Jeff Mohr, past president of the Quad Riders Association of B.C., said his members are most of the voluntary registrants so far, and they are pleased B.C. has a system to control the few users who ride recklessly or damage the environment. “We want to get more people out on the trails, sharing and

enjoying the outdoors,” Mohr said. The licence system also allows police to track stolen vehicles, even if they are taken out of the province. B.C. is the last Canadian province to implement a licensing system. The Quad Riders and B.C.’s 72 snowmobile clubs are prepared to publicize the new regulations to their members, and Thomson said they will act as “eyes and ears” for conservation and natural resource enforcement officers.

MORTGAGES “Buying a house is probably one of the biggest purchases you’ll ever make, and you want to be sure you’re getting the mortgage product, features and rate that work for you.”

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

How to financially prepare for a mortgage By Nicolle Hodges

The time has arrived and you’re ready to buy a house. However, there are a few future points to think about before taking out a loan to do so. According to Tyler Saito, Regional Manager at Coast Capital Savings, you should consider how long you plan on living in a home and how much of your total income will go towards the mortgage. Given the costs of buying and selling, it’s advisable to plan to stay in your home for at least five years. For many people setting up a budget can seem overwhelming, but just remember that a budget is really just an outline of your financial priorities. Regardless, a good first step is to get a little guidance. “For example, at Coast Capital we sit

down to the level of service and the mortgage products the financial institution can offer. Saito advises asking yourself if the financial institution is helping you achieve financial well-being. Financial security looks different for everyone so there isn’t a wrong answer in deciding what your financial priorities are – just as long as your income is equal or greater than your total expenses, says Saito. “When it comes to affordability, while there are standards that financial institutions use to determine what buyers can afford, at the end of the day what counts are the priorities you set in your own budget,” he says. “Often a financial institution will approve you for more than you require, but it is up to you to do the math and determine what you can manage.”

4 common mortgage terms explained: B Term: The length of time that the conditions of your mortgage are valid. A typical mortgage term is five years, but longer and shorter terms are available. Conditions that will be held throughout the term of your mortgage include interest rate and payment conditions. C Amortization: The total length of time that the loan (in this case a mortgage) is anticipated to be paid off in. A shorter amortization period means that while your regular mortgage repayments are higher, over the term of the mortgage you will be paying less interest. If you opt for a longer amortization period, your regular repayments may be lower but you will be paying more interest over the term of the mortgage. D Fixed and Variable: Both refer to the interest rate. The interest rate is typically set for the length of your mortgage term. A fixed rate means that your interest rate will not change for the length of your mortgage term. A variable rate means that

the rate will move up and down, usually in line with changes in the prime lending rate. The prime lending rate is the interest rate financial institutions use for their most creditworthy customers – typically other banks. Given the recent pattern of low prime lending rates, a variable rate can be very tempting. However, keep in mind that just a half-percent rise in interest rates on a $400,000 mortgage can mean $2,000 in additional interest costs annually. The interest rates for a fixed rate mortgage may be a little higher but the certainty it offers related to your regular mortgage repayments can be worth the trade-off. E Payment Frequency: Typically the frequency of your payment is quite flexible. You can pay weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. Aligning this to when you receive your paycheck can make budgeting easier but that shouldn’t be your only consideration because by increasing the payment frequency allows you to pay down your principal faster, pay less interest and pay your mortgage off sooner.

Hawks post first two losses of season ▶ ‘TOUGH WEEKEND’ FOR VALLEY WEST AS TOP MAJOR MIDGET TEAMS FACE OFF NICK GREENIZAN

In a battle between the BC Major Midget Hockey League’s top teams last weekend, the Valley West Hawks came up just a little bit short. In a two-game, home-and-home series against the Vancouver NW Giants, the Hawks fell 5-3 Saturday at the Langley Events Centre, before losing the rematch – played Sunday morning in North Vancouver – by a 4-1 score. The losses were the Hawks’ first two of the season. The two-game sweep nudged the Giants past the Hawks and into first place in the BCMML, with 16 points. Valley West sits a single point back, with a record of 7-2-1 (win-loss-tie). “Tough weekend for us,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “Games between top teams often come down not to who does the most good, but who makes the fewest errors.” In Saturday’s opener, Vancouver took a 2-0 lead in the first period, on a pair of goals from Justin Wilson, but Hawks’ Justin De Vos scored just 1:55 into the second period to cut into the lead. Vancouver scored twice more in the middle frame, while Valley West’s Ben Evanish, a White Rock resident, replied for the home side. Ilijah Colina rounded out

the scoring for the Hawks with a third-period goal. “I thought we gave up too many chances against a good team and weren’t able to battle our way back,” Leung said of the loss. “You never want to play from behind when you play the Giants. They defend better than any team in our league. To spot them two goals to start the game was the wrong way to do it.” Leung said Sunday’s game at the North Shore Winter Club “was a much better effort” despite the three-goal deficit. Neither team bulged the twine in the first period, though the Giants took the lead just 17 seconds into the second. Evanish, with his second goal of the weekend, replied less than four minutes later to tie the game, but Vancouver scored three times in the third to pull

game, according to Leung, but offence was hard to come by in the Giant’s home rink.

“We didn’t do enough to create offence, and when we did, we didn’t capitalize,” Leung said. “You never like losing games, but the golden lining is we didn’t play anywhere near our best hockey and played both games tight. “It’s time to roll up our sleeves and get back to work.” The Hawks are back on the ice Saturday in Langley, when they host the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds, who have a 3-3-4 record through 10 games. On Sunday morning, the two clubs will head to Abbotsford for a rematch at the Abbotsford Recreation Centre.

Nite of Champions benefits young athletes ▶ KIDSPORT FUNDRAISER ON NOV. 3 AT HAZELMERE GOLF AND TENNIS CLUB

Canucks in 2003, but after a brief professional career, turned his attention to music. At last year’s Nite of Champions, Brownlee regaled those in atten-

He is in his second year coaching the Penguins, who are in town next week to face the Canucks. KidSport – which has chapters across the country, including Surrey-White Rock – raises money to help cover sports registration costs for young athletes who could not otherwise afford to play. Last year’s event raised more than $100,000, and nearly $300,000 has been raised since the inaugural gala in 2012. More than 1,000 athletes in Surrey and White Rock have been helped by the charity so far.

gone any better for her team, and heaped praise on a handful of players, including power Elizabeth Mallari, who Guze said “was a able to dig every hard hit ball that was hit at her.” Holy Cross setter Clarissa Madaisky led the team with the most blocks, Guze added. “It was awesome to see the hard work they’ve put in (pay off ),” Guze said. The win also provided a measure of revenge for Holy Cross, who lost to Tweedsmuir in round-robin play, and earlier in the week, had lost to them in a regular-season tilt. In semifinals, Holy Cross defeated Elgin Park – another highly ranked 4A team – in two sets, led by libero Emma Courneya. “It seemed she was everywhere,” Guze said. After the semifinal loss to Holy Cross, Elgin Park rebounded to edge Langley’s Walnut Grove Gators 2-1 (26-28, 26-24, 16-14) in the bronze-medal game. The Winston Churchill Bulldogs won the fifth-place final over the Delta Pacers, while the tournament co-host Semiahmoo Totems placed 11th out of 15 teams. Madaisky was named tournament MVP, while all-star nods went to Mallari, Tweedsmuir’s Rachel Bellamare and Clayton Heights’ Veronica Plonis.

Author highlights Vancouver artist in Surrey experiences into art. Akroyd arrived in B.C. from his native England in 1953 and painted landscapes as well as humorous depictions of daily life. He was a member of a group of artists in Vancouver in the early 1960s that included sculptors Paul Huba, Elek Imredy and David Marshall, photographer Jack Dale, and painters George Fertig and Frank Molnar. He was given a solo exhibition at Vancouver Art Gallery in 1975 and several exhibitions at Burnaby Art Gallery – most recently, a major retrospective in July 2015. Akroyd died at 75 in 1996, relatively unknown except for those enthusiasts as far away as Japan who collected over 500 of his pieces.

ARTS & LIFE

The art and the sword BOAZ JOSEPH

Years ago, Mark David Smith came across an unfamiliar name in a 1,000-page art history book. “Everybody knows about Michelangelo and Leonardo,” says Smith, but fewer know of Caravaggio. The figure in the book was ripe for further research: A 16th- and 17th-century Italian painter named Michelangelo Merisi de Caravaggio (not to be confused with another Michelangelo), who was also a rapier-carrying street brawler sought for murder. Fascinated by this irascible character with “religious sensitivity (in his art) that’s hard to put into words,” the Burnaby school teacher and former North Delta resident spent six years writing his first novel, which was published in November 2014. Caravaggio: Signed in Blood is named after the Caravaggio painting called “Salome with Head of John the Baptist,” which hangs in the National Gallery in London. Like the painting, the historical novel has its share of blood, but at its heart, it’s a buddy adventure involving a 16-year-old boy named Beppo (entirely fictional) and Caravaggio, who’s on the run from Rome after an altercation that leaves a man dead. The novel, says Smith, is intended for middle-grade youth, who may be more interested in sword-fighting than art or late Renaissance/early Baroque Italian history. “My take on it is that Caravaggio was a guy really in touch with his senses. He knew Mark David Smith how to control ANITA ALBERTO both his brush and PHOTOGRAPHY his sword.” Historically, both got him into trouble – Caravaggio used prostitutes as models for his religious paintings, annoyed Camillo Borghese (Pope Paul V) with a stern-looking portrait, and killed a pimp in a street fight. Part of his erratic and violent nature, says Smith, might be attributed to lead poisoning, a factor in artists’ paint at the time. Speaking of history, Smith, 43, lived in North Delta in the early 1990s when he went to study teaching at Simon Fraser University. (His parents still live in North Delta). With his wife Mary, Smith has taught some of the poorest (Uganda) and richest (Kuwait) students in the world, and has been a high school teacher in Burnaby for the last 16 years. He currently teaches Grades 8-12 English at Byrne Creek Secondary. Caravaggio: Signed in Blood took shape from 2008 to 2012. “It takes a long time to write a book when you’re teaching full time,” he notes. Out in Canada, the UK and Australia for the past year, the book heads to the U.S. market in February. Smith says there has been some interest in the novel from schools and libraries. He suggests that writing and history go hand in hand, and youngsters have a better

▶ AUTHOR MARK DAVID SMITH BLENDS ACTION AND ART HISTORY IN A NOVEL FOR YOUTH

“Signore, did you not hear me? Bounty hunters are close at hand. They mean to kill you.” He dipped his brush into the red, and drew long streaks down the lower corner of the canvas. “Bounty hunters, signore,” I repeated. Caravaggio whipped around, his brush red with paint, and waved it in my face. “Do you think I’ve forgotten that I’m a wanted man? Here, take a look.” I gazed at the canvas and what I saw took my breath away. Caravaggio’s severed head hung from my hand, its mouth gaping in agony. “It’s ‘David with the Head of Goliath’,” he explained. “Painting is not just my livelihood, Beppo, it’s my life.” He breathed deeply. “It is painting that ensures my protection and that keeps me alive. It is painting that will get me back to Roma.” Excerpt from Caravaggio: Signed in Blood, by Mark David Smith.

Imagine holding your child’s hand when all of a sudden, their eyes go blank. The machines they are connected to begins to beep incessantly and doctors and nurses quickly jump into action. That is what Karm and Gary Ahuja faced on Oct. 18, 2010. Their daughter Maya – just four months of age – had undergone open-heart surgery to repair a hole in her heart and was in the recovery room at B.C. Children’s Hospital. Surgery had gone well, the doctors said, so the parents were beside their daughter when she suddenly flatlined. The doctors and nurses were able to revive Maya and she spent the next week in a drug-induced coma, hooked up to a heart and lung machine. Thankfully, Maya was saved. She did face some health challenges the past few years, and still needs another heart surgery to correct a second hole they discovered during the initial operation. But her family has not forgotten just how much B.C. Children’s

Hospital helped save their little girl and thousands of others from across the province. They formed Team Miracle Maya in 2013 with a goal of raising $100,000 for the B.C. Children’s Hospital, as a way of saying thanks. In two years, Team Miracle Maya has managed to raise close to $33,000. The majority of the money comes from the team’s annual gala fundraiser, and this year’s event will be held Saturday, Nov. 7 at Bombay Banquet Hall, 7475 135 St. The event, which is presented by CabinetBed Inc. and Black Press, has a Diwali theme this year. Diwali is a festival of lights held each autumn and celebrates new beginnings and the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. The family-friendly evening begins at 6 p.m. and will feature a photo booth, silent auction, 50/50 draw and raffle prizes, as well as a toonie toss. The menu is a gourmet Indian buffet dinner. Tickets are $50 or $360 for a table of eight, with a portion of that eligible for a tax receipt. Kids 10 and under are free, and ages 11 to 17 are $25. For tickets, call 604-613-5242 or email garyahuja@hotmail.com. Tickets will not be available at the door.

Smoke testing will involve introducing a non-toxic, odorless, non-staining smoke into the sanitary sewer to identify potential leaks or areas where rainwater can enter the sanitary sewer. Smoke may be visible at building roof vents or seeping from other points of entry to the sanitary sewer system during the test. The smoke will dissipate quickly following the testing procedures.
