City staff recommended changes

Oxford towers go to hearing Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

A controversial two-tower project proposed for White Rock is one step closer to approval, after city council voted Monday to move the development forward to a public hearing next month. Residents will have a chance to weigh in on the controversial 21and 24-storey development at 1454 Oxford St. – which requires an Official Community Plan amendment and rezoning – on Dec. 7. The narrow vote – with Mayor Wayne Baldwin and Couns. Helen Fathers and David Chesney against – came after a lively discussion about the proposal, confusion about the location of a small cityowned parcel on the property and a recommendation from staff to not proceed and to refer the project for more changes. Two other developments

– 12-storey projects located sideby-side on Thrift Avenue at Oxford Street – were sent back to city staff for further changes. Presenting her report on the applications to the city’s land use and planning committee, director of planning and development services Karen Cooper recommended all three developments be referred back to staff. Regarding the Oxford project – put forth by Elegant Development, and the subject of a 2,000name petition opposing it – Cooper suggested a “reduction in massing,” which she said could be accomplished by making the towers more slender and increasing the setbacks. However, it was the ownership of the land – previously owned by Epcor and sold to Elegant pending rezoning approval – that became the subject of debate. i see page A8

council and PAN notes an overall 15.5 per cent increase in Criminal Code offenses in the city as of Sept. 30. Aside from sexual offences, the biggest jumps were seen in robbery (50 per cent, to three from two), violent crime (36 per cent, to 91 from 67), frauds (34 per cent, to 75 from 56), drug trafficking (33 per cent, to eight from six) and auto theft (31 per cent, to 42 from 32). Roseberry attributed the jump in fraud reports in large part to a taxbill scheme that made its way across the province over the summer and fall. At one point, the detachment was fielding several complaints a day from residents reporting they had been threatened with criminal proceedings unless they paid an outstanding tax bill. Property crime remains the biggest problem for police, with 618 incidents reported through Sept. 30, compared to 582 a year ago; the figure is a jump of 6.19 per cent. Domestic assault also continues to be a concern, however, Roseberry said the upward trend is connected in part, at least, to a greater awareness of the issue and resources. Across the Lower Mainland, “we do believe that the reporting of such incidents has increased, and that’s a good thing,” she said.

Lesli Roseberry told Peace Arch News. According to statistics shared Monday, the 600 per cent increase was in the category of sexual offenses.

Second man injured as shots fired in residential neighbourhood

Surrey father killed in ‘targeted’ shooting Kevin Diakiw Black Press

One man is dead and another injured in a shooting north of Sullivan Hall last weekend. Early Saturday, just after midnight, police were called to 152 Street and 66 Avenue after shots were heard. They found two men in a vehicle suffering from gunshot wounds. One of them was unresponsive, and rescue crews Surinderpal Hehar victim could not revive him. Investigators believe it was a targeted shooting, however, as of Peace Arch News press time Tuesday, there was no indication it was related to other ongoing

Surrey investigations. Friends and family identified the victim as Surinderpal Singh Hehar, a father in his 40s with two young children. Hehar worked at the Port Authority, friends say, and was shot outside of the family home after being picked up for the night shift by a co-worker. The shooting shocked neighbours. “There’re a lot of kids on this street and it could have happened during the day‌ And it’s also right across from a school,â€? one resident told CTV News. “So it’s scary, it’s scary.â€? There is an outpouring of shock and grief on the Surrey Field Hockey Club website for the loss of Herar. “It is with profound grief, sorrow, and disbelief, that we announce the passing away of a great friend, a brother, a mentor and member of our club, Surinderpal Singh Hehar,

Investigators at the murder scene Saturday. earlier today,� the field hockey club posted on a Facebook memorial. “We, his friends, family members, his hockey fraternity, are all in a state of shock and disbelief at this.� Gutu Sidhu wrote: “Sorry to hear about the loss, our deepest thoughts and prayers for

the family. He was (a) great guy on and off the field and u will be missed by all of us.â€? Jassi Jaglit Kular wrote: “I was deeply shocked to hear of the death of Surinderpal Hehar. My deepest sympathy to his family for this irreparable loss they have suffered, and to members of Surrey Lions Club, this is to let you know how deeply I feel for you in your sorrow. You have my heartfelt sympathy.â€? The other victim was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) is investigating. “I want to reassure the public that their safety is of paramount concern,â€? said IHIT Sgt. Stephanie Ashton. â€œIHIT investigators, Surrey RCMP and other Lower Mainland investigative units are working to determine the circumstances that led up to this incident.â€?

FREE Beltone 360º Hearing Evaluation™.

Police often say there’s no such thing as a “routine� call, and a series of incidents this month serves as testament to that axiom. Surrey RCMP announced Monday that on Nov. 12, at about 6 a.m., officers were called to a domestic disturbance in Guildford. When police arrived, a suspect had left the area with a female purportedly confined inside. Shortly after, Mounties received a call of a single-vehicle accident at 148 Street and 80B Avenue, and the female was returned to her family. During a search, police found a loaded AK-47 assault rifle, a restricted handgun and substances believed to be cocaine and heroin. Police subsequently learned that two youth who heard the crash went to offer assistance. They were allegedly given a fully loaded firearm and asked to hide it. The children gave it to their father, who called police. Saleh Mohammed, 22, has been charged with 15 offences, including forcible confinement, uttering threats, possession of a prohibited weapon and possession for the purposes of trafficking. “The arrest of this individual is significant not only in disrupting the activities of those involved in the local drug trade, but also removing such dangerous weapons off our streets,� said Surrey RCMP Sgt. Paul Hayes in a news release.

Watts named to ‘shadow cabinet’ i from page A1 “But there’s no need to rush it, let’s just do it right,” she said, adding that the Syrians Canada is looking at resettling are currently in refugee camps, already removed from the violence in their homeland. In a press conference following the G20 Summit in Turkey last week, Trudeau told media the government’s refugee commitment has “in no way weakened our resolve to ensure first and foremost that Canadians are kept safe.” RCMP Cmsr. Bob Paulson and CSIS director Michel Coulombe have both gone on record as saying it is feasible to safely screen that number of refugees by the end of the year. Watts – who received flak in her home riding during the election campaign for a Conservative Party flyer issued on her behalf that stated “We will fight Jihadist terrorists at home and abroad” – said she has not received feedback that indicates her constituents are against accepting refugees. But she said that resettlement involves some “very complex issues” which can include fami-

The necessary support “is multi-faceted, and needs to be secured and in place,” she said, while noting that “a lot of community organizations are prepared to step up and help.” CBC has reported that Canada’s refugee plan will focus on accepting women, children and families first to avoid security risks posed by single men seeking asylum. Watts advocated a similar approach for screening applicants. “It needs to be done in layers,”

she said. “We can take care of the kids, the moms and the grandmothers; possibly make sure we get them settled before they are joined by the fathers. “The issue is not people just looking at young single men in their 30s or under – that could be a very different process,” she said. Watts said that her appointment last week to the Conservative ‘shadow cabinet’ as critic for infrastructure and communities will also allow her to utilize experience she gathered during her years as Surrey mayor (during that time she spearheaded the Build Surrey construction and investment initiative, and served a term on the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation). “It touches on everything I was working on, both in Surrey and in the Lower Mainland,” she said. She said she is looking forward to looking at the issues on a national level, noting that Trudeau has mandated development of a 10-year plan for infrastructure that includes everything from public transit to social and green infrastructure, as well as the Build Canada program, which covers such development as ports and border facilities.

Confidentiality agreement on water-utility purchase

Epcor sought clause: mayor Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

A three-year confidentiality agreement included in the City of White Rock’s water-utility purchase last month came at the request of Epcor to protect its business interests, according to Mayor Wayne Baldwin. Baldwin told Peace Arch News Monday that city manager Dan Bottrill took part in purchase talks with Epcor and that the mayor “wasn’t privy to the negotiations first-hand” regarding the confidentiality provisions. “There’s some issues with respect to their private corporate protection of their business interests,” Baldwin said, when asked for the rationale behind the three-year period, which has received some criticism. “So that kind of period, I gather, is somewhat normal in that kind of deal.” The confidentiality terms – included in a redacted waterpurchase agreement obtained by a resident from the BC Comptroller of Water Rights, and subsequently posted on the City of White Rock’s website last week after a Nov. 18 PAN article – state that no details about the purchase can be made public without written consent of both parties.

No solution in store

hile it appears to Surrey’s neighbours that a controversial truck park along the Surrey-Langley border may not get very far, the underlying issue is unlikely to go away any time soon. The Lower Mainland has a big truck problem in every sense of the word, one that is spilling across municipal boundaries. There’s a serious shortage of parking and staging areas for big rigs, one that is especially acute south of the Fraser, particularly in Surrey, where that city estimates half of the more than 12,000 heavy trucks registered there have no legal place to park. The situation will only get worse in Metro Vancouver, a port city that will need more and more trucks to handle the ever-increasing amount of international shipping traffic. In a recent speech to the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce, provincial Transportation Minister Todd Stone said a solution to the problem is now a “top priority” of the government. The province, Stone said, was looking at potential locations south of the Fraser for shortterm parking facilities. After hearing that, it’s no wonder, then, that Surrey Coun. Tom Gill might think a 77-acre truck park in the Campbell Heights neighbourhood would be a step in the right direction. Resistance, however, was quick and substantial, because the park would be located on 16 Avenue, close to the Little Campbell River, home to salmon and trout spawning. People on both sides of the Langley-Surrey border have rightly and strongly expressed concern about potential environmental impact of having so many large trucks that close to the river, not to mention the possibility of even more big rigs travelling the already-busy 16 Avenue. The surge of opposition may explain why a recent informal meeting saw Surrey council members tell their Langley Township counterparts the idea was unlikely to proceed. “It may not even get to (Surrey) council,” Langley Mayor Jack Froese said. That would be good news for people worried about the effect of allowing truckers to wash their rigs, change oil and tires near the river. But not so much for the truckers, who will still need a place to park their rigs.

study that included fish samples collected by West Moberly members. It shows average methylmercury levels remain below federal guidelines for limiting consumption of commercially sold fish. It’s an odd coincidence that Willson suddenly made this claim, 47 years after the first Peace dam was completed, when he happened to be in court trying to stop Site C. A coalition of U.S. and Canadian environment groups is also demanding that Site C be stopped, using typical arguments to appeal to their lowinformation donor base. According to the Sierra Club and others, Site C is not renewable energy because the (largely idle) farmland it floods is a “carbon sink.” Forests do store carbon, albeit temporarily, but farmland where the trees have been cleared? This is gluten-free gobbledegook. They also trot out the claim that Site C will be used to power liquefied natural gas operations. Most proponents so far have said they will use gas for LNG processing, and if they don’t have hydro available for ancillary power, they will have to burn more gas. BC Hydro has just finished its latest grid upgrade, a second high-voltage transmission line from Merritt to Coquitlam. It adds disaster reliability to the system that brings power from the Peace and Columbia dams to the Lower Mainland. If you’re arguing that hydroelectricity isn’t renewable power, you’ve already lost. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Editor: Re: Uncharted territory for Surrey tax hike, Nov. 13. Surrey First promised minimal tax increases during the civic election. After being reelected last year, Coun. Tom Gill – finance chair since 2006 – expressed surprise at the finances, and we were hit with a hefty tax increase. Now, despite promises from Gill to find other sources to fund added police officers, we are now looking at another hefty tax increase. A Surrey First-controlled city hall also promised the 2007 road levy would only last for five years, and it now will continue for at least six more. I’m thinking it will be another GST and will always be there. If we want competent financial managers, please remember Gill’s performance at the next election. Bernhard Dandyk, Surrey Q I remember how Surrey council increased our property taxes/fees by 10 per cent the week after they were elected. Now they want to further hit us with more increases mere months later? And this is to cover only $100 million for more RCMP? Yet it seems Mayor Linda Hepner is also looking at an absurdly expensive train-track relocation to satisfy the whiny, elitist two per cent of property owners who knowingly chose to buy their homes near the beaches and the train tracks. Mayor Hepner, it is time to do your civic duty and represent the majority of Surrey property owners and drop the track-relocation idea. The property owners who bought along the beach fronts will have to live with their decisions, or move away. The train tracks have been there for 106 years. The main cargo is coal. Has there been an evacuation due to a derailment? Has there been a fatality due to any hazardous material? There is no evidence to support a relocation. If Crescent Beach has a safety issue, with its access road shut down by a possible train blockage, I suggest a special tax levy on Crescent Beach property owners alone to fund an underpass beneath the train tracks. Anthony Rose, Surrey Q Re: Fast-track to oblivion; Expectations of a bumpy ride, Nov. 4 letters. Thank you for printing the letters from Maureen MacDonald with regard to saving the South Surrey watershed area and letter from Maureen Kerr about the new TransLink disruptions. Why do those in charge appear to want to disrupt everything possible for those of us who have appreciated this area and its services for so long? Surely the new residents don’t want to punish us the way city officials and transit planners appear determined to achieve. If these areas need increased development to improve the tax base, how come we still pay property taxes? With all the new industry, residential taxes shouldn’t be required. Hey, how about a moratorium on new residents as of Dec. 31, 2015? No new residents for a year. Give the city officials time to “get real”. Gerry Houlden, White Rock

council members shared their rationale for voting. Baldwin explained that he didn’t like voting against staff recommendations, noting “I haven’t really found a good reason for it.” Fathers said she felt the application “can basically wait” until details were clarified, noting “we don’t hold any obligation to any developer that’s standing in front of us.” Chesney alluded to the OCP review currently underway as his reason for voting to defer the project. “If it’s the wish of our community to extend our town centre to Oxford, then I’d be more than happy to support all these projects,” he said. Meyer said he was in support of moving forward, and wanted “to hear what the public has to say.” Sinclair, also in support, discussed the history of the Everall neighbourhood, pointing to other developments in the area approved in recent years that also required OCP amendments and rezoning. “Clearly it’s an area under change,” she said. The two developments that did not pass first and second readings were referred back to staff for revisions; proponents are being asked to explore the idea of shared driveway access, as well as viewimpact analysis. The community amenity contributions proposed for one of the projects, at the corner of Thrift and Oxford, are also being reviewed.

B.C. ‘ready’ for 3,500 Syria refugees: Clark Tom Fletcher Black Press

B.C. is ready to take in 3,500 refugees from civil war and terrorist attacks in Syria and Iraq, Premier Christy Clark announced last week. “The federal government has asked us to welcome 3,500 refugees as part of this, and we’ve said yes, we think we can do that,” Clark said Wednesday. “We’ve set a million dollars aside and the federal government has also said they’re going to restore the resettlement funding that was cut not that long ago. “We are going to fund their children when they go to school, of course, and support them in finding the counselling services, the housing and general settlement services that they need.” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has

stuck to his election commitment to bring 25,000 refugees into Canada by the end of December. But as logistical issues and security concerns have arisen, the deadline may be altered. In his mandate letter to Immigration Minister John McCallum, Trudeau said a top priority is to “lead government-wide efforts to resettle 25,000 refugees from Syria in the coming months.” Clark said the timing and security screening of claimants is up to Ottawa. “I accept their assurances that they can do a very rigorous screening process for everyone that we’re welcoming into the country in the time that they’ve set out for it,” Clark said. “Our job in British Columbia is to welcome them, and to make sure that … they get the best possible start.”

Prosecutor to be named in email-deletion case Tom Fletcher Black Press

An independent prosecutor is being appointed to see if a BC Liberal political staffer

should be charged for lying under oath to the Information and Privacy Commissioner. Commissioner Elizabeth Denham

referred the case to the RCMP in October after investigating the deletion of emails by ministerial assistant George Gretes in

Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s office in late 2014. Denham interviewed Gretes and other staffers after former

Earl Marriott grad in Paris reflects on ‘city of love’

‘All we could do was wait’ Tracy Holmes

Paris police officers investigate outside the Bataclan Theatre, where 89 people were killed in a shooting on Nov. 13. Left, 31-year-old South Surrey native Lina Cascetto, who now works in Paris as a chef.

Contributed photo

“So many questions about how and why something like that could ever happen, anywhere,� she told Peace Arch News Thursday. “We’re coming up on a week tomorrow. Things just feel different. They feel heavy, there’s definitely a sense of unease. “We’re trying to sort of figure out how to put one foot in front of the other again.� Caschetto said she was surprised that her letter – posted online Nov. 17 by her

stepfather – received media attention when it was reposted online by a Vancouver newspaper. She, after all, was not injured in the attacks, nor does she know anyone who was directly affected. She just felt the need to write about it, to “promote an idea of love, an idea of good energy moving forward.â€? “One thing is certain, this is a call for help,â€? Caschetto concludes in the letter. “There are many people in this world who feel unloved and unvalued. I know we can’t individually care for them all, but we need to show those around us that they are wanted.â€? Getting back to life “isn’t simpleâ€?, she told PAN, but “we have to just play it day by day.â€? “In some ways, I think sometimes when you experience something in such a way, I think it’s hard to forget it ever happened. “At the end of the day, we all need to figure out how to move forward. “All we can do is keep living and moving forward,â€? she said. “Stopping to visit my favorite cafĂŠ in the morning isn’t going to change what happened. So we continue to sit and have our coffee and spend time with

the people (we) care about. This is part of how we will heal.� White Rock senior Ian Routledge – who was in Paris when the massacre occurred – said it’s important to show support for the Parisians. He said he and his wife, Jan, walked through the streets the next day and met people who said they would not allow the actions of these cowards to interfere with their lives. “I’ve never been anywhere near anything as horrendous as that,� Routledge said. “It was devastating and you could just see it in everybody’s eyes. “I want to go back and support those people, they deserve to be supported.� Routledge added he has been shocked to hear people oppose Canada taking in Syrian refugees based on “fearfulness and prejudices� after the Paris attacks. “The perpetrators of this heinous act were mostly Belgian and French,� he told PAN. “They certainly were not refugees. “It’s insulting to the people in Paris. People in Paris are brave and defiant and we’re running and hiding. That’s totally wrong.�

ne week after the terror attacks in Paris, Lina Caschetto speaks of the ‘city of love’ with obvious fondness. “It’s so beautiful, it has so much life,� Caschetto said Thursday from her home in the French capital. “It was the place for me that was calling my name.� A graduate of South Surrey’s Earl Marriott Secondary, Caschetto, 31, moved to Paris from the Semiahmoo Peninsula about 18 months ago, to pursue a career in culinary arts. She was at work as head chef at Pas de Loup – a restaurant around the corner from the Bataclan – on Nov. 13, when gunmen entered the packed concert hall just before 10 p.m. and opened fire. Eighty-nine of the 130 innocent people who died that night in Paris were killed in the Bataclan. Caschetto and the 60 or so diners in the Pas de Loup learned something terribly wrong was happening when a friend, his arms covered in blood, rushed in, yelling at people to get back; that he had escaped from the Bataclan and there were men with machine guns. In a letter to family and friends assuring them she was OK, Caschetto described the shock and chaos; how the blood on her friend’s arms was not his own. “We were stunned,� she wrote. “People didn’t know what to do. Some sat still, some stumbled over their chairs and each other, others tried to hide themselves under the tables.� Caschetto recalled pushing people towards the back of the restaurant, seeing people in the street “running in every direction� and sitting behind the metal curtain that shuttered Pas de Loup from the outside, not knowing if it would keep them safe. “We sat behind our ‘iron curtain’ and we waited,� she wrote. “If someone decided to shoot through it, it would have given us minimal protection but its existence made us feel as if we were in relative safety. “From there all we could do was wait.� In a telephone interview, Caschetto described what happened as “horrible� and beyond comprehension.

Surrey firefighters create student bursary in honour of Dianne Watts

Legacy award presented Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

*Terms and Conditions Apply, Minimum Investment $25,000, RRSP, RRIF and TFSA eligible. Available until Nov. 30, 2015.

An SFU student eying a career in biomedical engineering is the first recipient of a scholarship from

Surrey firefighters created in honour of a former mayor of the city. Samia Kamal received the $2,500 Dianne Watts Legacy

Award Wednesday, during a presentation by members of the Surrey Fire Fighters’ Charitable Association at South Surrey’s fire Hall 17. “You should be really proud of yourself,” firefighter Matt Johnston told Kamal. According to Johnston, 18-year-old Kamal was chosen from among 19 applicants for the inaugural award, which was developed to support inspiring female students who show leadership as well as a strong social conscience. In the selection process, committee members considered not only applicants’ high academic achievements, but also their potential to contribute to Surrey in the future, Johnston said, noting it was “very apparent” Kamal fit the bill. “We know that you’re going to be coming back in your mid20s and making a difference,” he said. The Princess Margaret Secondary grad came to Canada with her family from India in 2002. Her volunteer efforts have included time with the YMCA family and Connections programs, the latter of which focuses on helping new immigrants feel at home in Canada. In Grade 11, Kamal helped in the UBC chemistry lab on a project that looked at

how gases move. She is currently involved with SFU’s Women in Engineering Group (WEG), which aims to support and guide women as they study for and embark on an engineering career. Kamal said she is interested in developing synthetic organs and improving prosthetic limbs. Watts, who served three terms as Surrey’s mayor before leaving the role last year to run for a federal seat – which she secured last month, as MP for South Surrey-White Rock – was on hand for the presentation. “I know you will do great things,” she told Kamal, later offering to connect Kamal with the Health Tech Innovation Foundation, for which Watts is chief executive director. Kamal said the award brings the total she’s received in education funds to more than $17,000 – nearly half of what she’ll need to finish the SFU program over the next four years. Firefighter Todd Schierling said the legacy award recognizes Watts’ 20-plus years of support for Surrey firefighters – including the Mayor’s Charity Ball – which has “opened the door for more donors to come to us.” The charitable association supports more than 50 community-based programs.

Black touts ‘safer’ oil-by-rail plan for refinery Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C. oil-refinery proponent David Black says his $22-billion proposal won’t die with

the apparently thwarted Northern Gateway pipeline – he aims to bring oil sands bitumen across northern B.C. by train instead.

The Victoria businessman, who is majority owner of Black Press and this newspaper, spoke Wednesday at a Rotary

Club meeting in South Surrey. Black’s Kitimat Clean proposal calls for a refinery between Terrace and Kitimat that would process bitumen into gasoline, diesel and other refined fuels for Asian markets. He said the federal Liberal government’s move to formally ban crude oil tankers from B.C.’s north coast means the Northern Gateway pipeline plan is “pretty much dead� but that shouldn’t block tanker exports of refined fuel, which would be less damaging than a spill of crude or bitumen at sea. Black said his plan to carry oil by rail will be far safer than the crude oil trains that have been vulnerable to fiery disasters elsewhere. He said he’s in talks with CN Rail to load rail cars with undiluted bitumen, which would be much thicker – virtually solid – compared to the diluted bitumen that moves through pipelines or the light oil that’s often carried by train. The bitumen would be heated at the beginning and end of each rail trip to make it flow for loading and unloading from tanker cars. Black argues it would be unlikely to leak or burn if a train derailed. “It’s safer and way easier,� he said, estimating six trains a day would run every four hours. Black continues to

Victoria businessman David Black spoke to a group of Rotarians in South Surrey Nov. 18 about his proposal for an oil refinery in northwestern B.C. pursue environmental approvals, and believes that with green lights from regulators and First Nations, oil shippers and financiers will come on board. But his is not the only such proposal. Pacific Future Energy, led by a Mexican conglomerate, initially tried to buy Black out and has since proposed a similar refinery with the same technology. Its backers include SNC Lavalin and prominent aboriginal advisors. Pacific Future initially proposed a site in Prince Rupert but Black said that firm is trying to strike a deal with the Kitselas band for the same site Kitimat Clean had chosen. There are other potential sites with different First Nations, he said, but they’re less suitable. Black also criticized

the provincial government’s focus on liquefied natural gas projects. He said his refinery would generate more permanent jobs and taxes for governments than even an optimistic number of LNG plants. “Government really dove at this,� he said, adding the province “rolled over� in guaranteeing generous tax treatment to get the industry on board, leaving little future revenue to government. Too many LNG plants are already being built in Australia and the U.S., he said, while Japan’s shift back towards nuclear power will cut demand. Black is not concerned that low oil prices will also doom his refinery dream. He said he believes low prices as well as the U.S. rejection of the Keystone XL

pipeline to the U.S. Gulf Coast will make his option for reaching lucrative Pacific markets increasingly attractive to oil firms grappling with narrowing margins, particularly in Alberta’s oil sands. His proposal would use an unusual technology – adding $5 billion to the costs – that slashes the carbon emissions to less than one third of a conventional refinery. Black argues the “greenest refinery in the world� would largely offset the higher emissions of oil sands bitumen and forge a solution for Canada’s energy-policy makers. “It cleans the whole industry up,� he said. “We’re not in the dirty oil business any more. We get huge value add. And it takes away the issue of a heavy oil spill at sea.�

Financial break would cut food waste, help needy: advocates

Tax credit urged to spur donations

EXPIRES DECEMBER 10, 2015

Jeff Nagel Black Press

The chair of Food Banks BC is backing a proposal to create a federal tax break that encourages businesses to donate more food to local charities. Marilyn Herrmann, who is also executive director of the Surrey Food Bank Society, says there are “endless” amounts of usable food that could be retrieved from restaurants, grocers and other suppliers that now throw it out. The National Zero Waste Council proposes the federal government create a new tax credit for businesses linked to the fair market value of food they donate to charities such as food banks, shelters and soup kitchens. Herrmann said while many businesses already strive to donate usable food, such an incentive could prod others to both save on taxes and help put more unused food to good use. “It’s not even waste, it’s perfectly good food,” Herrmann said. “Something that may just be undersized according to a grocery chain’s standard doesn’t mean it’s bad food.” Lower Mainland food banks regularly retrieve huge skids of food that producers or retailers have been unable to sell fast enough. “Sometimes we come back with incredible donations,” Herrmann said, adding dairy producers sometimes overproduce yogurt and donate large volumes that are too close to their expiry dates. It’s a retail reality that consumers won’t buy those products. “People are so hung up on these best before dates that as soon as it hits the day, they just throw it out without even checking the quality of the product.” A report by the National Zero Waste Council doesn’t estimate how much lost tax revenue a new credit might cost Ottawa. But it projects a range of benefits that would result from a more efficient food system. One of those benefits would be less organic waste going into landfills – Metro Vancouver estimates the drop in garbage resulting from the tax

credit would mean reduced greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to taking 275,000 cars off the road. Metro Vancouver regional district directors vote next Friday on whether to endorse the idea. BC Restaurant and Foodservice Association president Ian Tostenson said the biggest worry for restaurateurs donating food is ensuring it doesn’t make anyone sick. “If they can get through the issues of food safety and sanitation, I think it’s a great idea,” Tostenson said. “I don’t think business even needs a tax incentive to do it. I think they’d just do it if they can do it in a way that doesn’t create liability.” Others have suggested the tax break could lead to businesses dumping unusable food on food banks, and increasing their disposal costs. “There definitely are challenges to this, no question,” Herrmann said. “You have to have the capacity to handle the volumes of food that are being offered to you.” Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, who chairs Metro’s zero waste committee, said the tax credit would be worthwhile, even if it’s not a silver bullet curing food waste. “Our hope is this would lead to a far bigger uptake and get a lot of that edible food into the hands of charities that can divide it up and use it effectively.” An estimated 170,000 tonnes of edible food – equivalent to 300 million meals – ends up in Canadian landfills every year. Meanwhile, Herrmann and Food Banks BC are also pressing the BC Liberals to keep a promise they made in the 2013 election campaign. The party’s platform committed the provincial government to “give growers a tax credit of 25 per cent of the wholesale value of food donated to a food bank.” Herrmann said that would be a useful incentive that both helps farmers and encourages them to donate produce and fruit that could help feed the needy.

double chin?

we should let our hair go grey, suggesting anything from environmental impact to selfrealization, liberation, and financial savings. Through all of the discourse, what it really comes down to is your own needs and Elke Tobisch Personal Stylist desires. So, your best friend has grown out her natural grey hair and expresses how great she feels having been released from her monthly obligation to visit to her colorist. You, having seen the light that is her arctic white locks, want to feel the same liberation. Before you cancel your next appointment, there are a few things to consider: Not all of us are meant for grey hair. Why? If a salesperson has ever suggested you are “a winter” or “a spring,” she might be onto something more than trying to make a sale. There’s a reason why the same shirt in two different colors can completely change your look. So rather than following a trend that works for some or not for all, the most liberating decision you can make is one that makes you feel like the best version of yourself. For more information, go to elketobisch.com.

Zeltiq has received FDA A: Absolutely! & Health Canada clearance to treat submental fat with the CoolSculpting procedure. The introduction of the CoolMini applicator is uniquely designed to non-invasively treat smaller pockets of fat, including the Caree Ludwar submental, or chin fat area, more commonly referred to as the double chin. The accumulation of fat under the chin can be a result of lifestyle, age, or genetic factors and it cannot be hidden or disguised with clothing. The new CoolMini applicator will provide a truly compelling alternative to other popular devices and methods currently used to treat and contour the neck, like liposuction. Call us today and book your complimentary consultation. Let us show you how the CoolMini can help you minimize your double chin. Please call our office at 604.541-8750 to book your appointment.

can only speak from our own A: We experience. Cindy started off on her own 20 years ago, selling 22 homes in her first year. However, at times she found there was never enough time and that she sometimes lacked the knowledge, to service clients effectively. Dave came on board two years later, The Walker Real Estate Team and with his 25 years in building and development, combined with Cindy’s banking experience, it’s been history ever since. We have always left it up to the clients and realtors to decide who they would like to work with and we feel it’s a compliment either way. No matter who is taking a backseat, we always draw on each other’s knowledge. Our daughter, Amanda has been with us for 13 years, starting as our office assistant. She brings to the team a youthful enthusiasm and a marketing background and now works with a number of clients on her own. Iris and Edmund joined us a few years ago and have been a real asset when working with the South Asian population. We draw on their knowledge and expertise in this area and they also benefit from our local experience, creating a win, win for our client’s success!

people believe that in order to A: Many loose weight they have to exercise nearly every day of the week, but that is not the case. For weight loss 70% is done in the kitchen (diet), and Shaun 30% in the gym (exercise). There is Personal Trainer the famous quote that “ab’s are made in the kitchen, not in the gym”. Diet is crucial for a healthy lifestyle, and no matter how much you exercise if you have a poor diet it will defeat the purpose of your workouts. Every other day is a great workout routine as it allows your body to rest and recover. Coccoloba Health Club offers personalized fitness solutions with a range of fitness equipment. Our personal trainers can customize a fitness program that will get you going in the right direction. Come see Shaun or drop by today for a tour of our facility.

Q: Can you explain the integrated aspect of

child’s behaviour? Parents may find themselves unable to understand certain challenging behaviours. Tia Noble, Bonnie Mason, Family Therapists can assist you in understanding your Melanie Huck, Teal Maedel child’s behaviour and explore new ways of dealing with the unwanted behaviours. Children often communicate through their behavior as they do not have the verbal skills to express their needs. All behaviours have a purpose/goal, and once you understand, you can “hear” what your child is telling you and response in an understanding way. In Family Therapy you will learn specialized parenting techniques, such as listening skills and how to connect on a deeper level. It is the goal of the practice to support and encourage parents to strive towards a harmonious home and deep loving connections with their children. You will get an opportunity to explore your expectations, feelings and reactions to your child’s behaviours in a caring and supportive environment.

Renewal looms for Metro garbage-burning plant

New incinerator rules opposed by FVRD Jeff Nagel Black Press

The B.C. government is poised to approve new standards for how Metro Vancouver’s garbage incinerator must operate and report its emissions. And the Fraser Valley Regional District is objecting, saying the revised rules will not be tough enough. “The provisions are far from world-leading,” said Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz, chair of the FVRD board, adding her regional district’s concerns have been “underestimated, brushed off and not answered” by both Metro and the provincial environment ministry. After a two-year process, the province has unveiled a draft new operational certificate for the existing wasteto-energy plant and it’s gone through a final 30-day public comment period.

A load of garbage is hoisted at Metro Vancouver’s waste-to-energy facility in Burnaby. The FVRD has responded with a long list of deficiencies. Valley politicians have long fought both the existing waste-to-energy plant in Burnaby as well as Metro’s strategy to build a new one as it shifts away from landfilling garbage. Gaetz maintains the existing plant poses a significant air pollution threat to the Fraser Valley and the province’s approach to updating its operating requirements sends a “concerning”

signal of how it may go about approving a new Metro incinerator. “If this is approved, I’d be incredulous,” she said. Among the FVRD’s demands are that the WTE plant adopt continuous monitoring of air pollutants, instead of periodic testing, where results might appear cleaner if a different grade of garbage is burned on the test day. They also want testing for a broader range of substances, and more

study of the incinerator’s impacts on soil, water quality, vegetation and crops. Gaetz said the new draft certificate would actually relax some of the existing monitoring requirements – Metro’s plant would no longer have to test for substances like antimony, cobalt, copper and nickel. The proposed certificate will require specific management plans to be drafted for fly ash and bottom ash, and for publishing monitoring data online, but the FVRD argues those should be in place before the renewal is approved, not later. And the FVRD wants the environment ministry to state whether and when it would audit the plant, and clearly indicate what penalties will apply. Instead of a new certificate that could

effectively freeze requirements for decades, Gaetz said, the FVRD would prefer a phase out of the plant, which burns 285,000 tonnes of waste per year.

“I have serious concerns with any incineration. It’s backwards, oldfashioned technology that has had its day and should be gone,” she

said. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, chair of Metro’s zero waste committee, called the FVRD position “unfortunate.”

In October, Black Press reported the average wait for low-priority MRIs in the Fraser Health region was seven months as of August, and 10 per cent of those patients waited at least 15 months for their MRIs. MRI appointment notifications from Fraser Health go out with prominent reminders to note the year of the appointment because some patients have mistakenly shown up 12 months too soon.

province has faced repeated calls to deter the inflow of foreign money, blamed by some for helping drive up Vancouver-area prices. The government is studying its options. It has so far indicated it will avoid any measure that reduces the equity of existing homeowners, but may possibly add an extra tier of property transfer tax when high-end homes change hands. As with TransLink, Canseco said the high disapproval rating shows the issue cuts beyond voters who generally oppose the BC Liberals. “It’s not a situation that it’s just affecting those who are more likely to support the Greens or the NDP,” he said. “Even your own base is saying this is a

file you need to deal with.” Seventy per cent also disapproved of the province’s management of BC Ferries. On Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain oil pipeline proposal, 57 per cent said the government has done a bad job. The government scored better on its handling of crime and public safety, the economy and jobs, and on energy pipelines and LNG – it had 30 to 35 per cent approval on those issues. The only recent decision of the government to get significant support was its reforms to the sale of alcohol – 42 per cent said it did a good job. The economy and jobs remains the top ranked provincial issue, followed by health care, housing/ poverty/homelessness, government accountability and the environment. The poll found 39 per cent of decided voters would support the NDP if an election were held today, compared to 34 per cent for the BC Liberals, 16 per cent for the BC Green Party and seven per cent for the BC Conservatives. Canseco said the Greens are essentially tied for second place with the Liberals on Vancouver Island. Overall, Premier Christy Clark’s approval rating is 29 per cent (69 per cent disapprove). NDP Leader John Horgan has a 39 per cent approval rating.

Jack and the Beanstalk Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society is back to begin the Christmas pantomime season with Jack and the Beanstalk (Nov. 25-Dec. 6 at Surrey Arts Centre). Directed by Mike Balser, and produced by Lyn Verra-Lay, it returns to traditional territory – after a few experimental years – with a tried and true British panto script of the fairy-tale favourite, last produced by the society in 1988. With a set by Omanie Elias that strives to recreate the look of a pop-up book, and costumes by Linda O’Donovan and Chris Roberts, the panto also employs the talents of fellow-veterans Tim Tucker (musical director), Carol Seitz (choreographer) and props mistress Maxine Howchin. Among familiar faces on stage are experienced and capable principal boy Michelle Gaetz as

Writing for youth

Handel Society

Two local authors with a lot of experience writing for children and teens will be sharing the benefit of their expertise with other writers – and those who have thought about trying their hand in this market – this Saturday (Nov. 28, 11 a.m. to noon) at White Rock Library, 15342 Buena Vista Ave. The talk by Gina McMurchyBarber and Lois Peterson also coincides with the launch of their two new books, McMurchyBarber’s A Bone To Pick, latest in her series of Peggy Henderson archeology adventures (Dundurn), and Peterson’s Three Good Things, most recent of her novellas for Orca Currents. Although they both have earlyteen girls as lead characters, they write very different books – McMurchy-Barber’s is an upbeat adventure with a fair amount of comedy relief, aimed at offering inspiration to children younger than her character’s age, while Peterson’s is a slice-oflife drama about a child forced to ‘parent’ a mother struggling with mental illness, in a series aimed at finding resonance, and encouraging literacy, among tweens and teens. Both, however, can share interesting insights into a literary market with commercial potential, and more than a few artistic rewards. For information on the talk and book launch, call the library at 604-541-2201.

In its 50th season, the Handel Society choir commemorates 50 years since the end of the Second World War with a concert this Saturday (Nov. 28) at 7:30 p.m. at Good Shepherd Church, 2250 150 St. The program, with choir and orchestra directed by Johan Louwersheimer, includes Requiem by Maurice Durufle and Mass in Time of War by Joseph Haydn, with soloists Anna Shill, soprano; Tamara Croft, mezzo soprano; Mark De Silva, tenor and Andrew Greenwood, baritone. For ticket information, visit www.handelsociety.ca or call 604531-3396.

Peninsula Productions Still too early to think about Christmas? It’s not too early to buy tickets for two upcoming presentations in which Peninsula Productions aims at getting everyone into the spirit. On Sunday, Nov. 29, the man the legendary Bonnie Raitt referred to as “a triple-threat” and “one of my musical heroes” is back – vocalist/keyboardist/saxophonist John Lee Sanders will return for a fifth Gospel and Blues Christmas Concert with his band, at a new venue based on past demand for tickets. White Rock Baptist Church (1657 140 St.) will be the setting for a rocking, feel-good seasonal celebration which gets underway at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25 in advance and

$30 at the door. The joyous sounds will continue at the same venue Saturday, Dec. 5, when Peninsula Productions presents its ‘Sing-A-Long Messiah’ event with the 80-member Vancouver Bach Choir under the direction of Leslie Dala. Tickets are available at South Surrey Recreation & Arts Centre (14601 20 Ave.) and Tourism White Rock (1459 Johnston Rd.), or at brownpapertickets.com For more information, visit www. peninsulaproductions.org

Cinderella The White Rock Players Club tradition of a distinctly colourful, over-the-top Christmas pantomime (for the uninitiated, musical comedy with a heavy helping of vaudeville) continues this December with Cinderella (Dec. 4 - Jan. 2, previews Dec. 2-3) at Coast Capital Playhouse (1532 Johnston Rd.). Based on a classic White Rock Players script by the late Charlotte Johnson, the new version, written by Sara and Lisa Pavilionis (and directed by Lisa) brings together all the traditional, fun-for-thewhole-family elements in the retelling of the favourite fairy tale, including a good fairy, a “magical maniacal” demon and, of course, poor, put-upon Cinderella and her ‘blended’ family. Shows are at 7:30 p.m., with matinees Dec. 6, 13, 20, 26, 27 and Jan. 2 at 2:30 p.m. For tickets call 604-536-7535, or visit www. whiterockplayers.ca

South Surrey, Cloverdale teams now prep for provincial tournaments

Medals aplenty for volleyball squads Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

South Surrey and Cloverdale schools will be well-represented at provincial high school volleyball championships next month, after securing a handful of podium spots at Fraser Valleys. Cloverdale’s Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers and Clayton Heights Night Riders won the senior girls quad-A and AAA Fraser Valley

banners, respectively, while Earl Marriott saw its two senior sides finish on the podium as well, as the AAA senior boys and quad-A girls each finished third. Fraser Heights Secondary rounded out the Surrey medal haul, as the north-end squad placed second at AAA senior boys championships, losing in the finals to Langley’s Walnut Grove Gators. At the girls AAAA tournament,

Tweedsmuir – the top-seeded team – rolled to victory with a quarter-final win over Walnut Grove and a semifinal win against South Delta. In the championship game Friday night in South Delta, the Panthers edged Port Coquitlam’s Riverside Rapids 3-2 (25-21, 17-25, 25-11, 19-25, 15-10) to win the banner. Earl Marriott won the bronze-medal game

3-0 over Terry Fox Secondary, and like their Cloverdale counterparts at Tweedsmuir, will be among the 16-team field at AAAA provincials, which are set to run Dec. 2-5 at Dover Bay Secondary in Nanaimo. “We finished third, and we qualified for provincials, so I’ll take it,” said longtime EMS coach Mark Cassell. After receiving a bye into quarter-finals, i see page A38

Killam could not yet provide an estimated cost of the facility, but said they would hope to break ground in August of 2016, with an estimated completion date of the following spring. “It’ll be a really centerpiece facility for us,” he said. “I think everybody will be pretty keen on it.”

i from page A37 third-seeded Marriott began Valleys with a win over Seaquam, before losing 3-0 to Riverside in semifinals. “We had a good start to the tournament, and I was pretty happy with how we finished – it was just a part in the middle where we struggled a bit,” Cassell said. “Riverside took it to us a little bit, but that’s OK – those things happen sometimes. We call it a temporary setback.” The Mariners also placed third at last year’s Fraser Valley tournament, which was won by Riverside; Tweedsmuir was second. Earl Marriott has a long history of success at provincials, but Cassell says his team – which will likely enter the B.C. tournament seeded anywhere from seventh to ninth – relishes playing the role of underdog this time around. “We’re the underdogs, you could call us that. The pressure will be on a lot of the other teams, I think,” he said. Cassell’s squad played shorthanded for much of the season due to “a rash of injuries” but the team is finally healthy, he said. “We have everybody now… I still think we can play better. I think we can improve on our spiking,” he said. At the AAA level, Clayton Heights captured the banner after a come-from-behind win over their rivals from Fraser Heights. The Night Riders beat their north Surrey rivals 3-2, despite trailing 1-0 and 2-1 earlier in the final. The game mirrored

a regular-season tilt between the two teams, Clayton Heights coach Gord Houchen said. In that contest, Clayton Heights also rallied for the win after trailing early. “The girls have a lot of heart, and I think that developed right from that first game (against Fraser Heights),” Houchen explained. “They knew that they could come back from being down 1-0 or 2-0. They showed that (resilience) all year.” The Night Riders have played in four of the last six Fraser Valley finals, winning twice. Clayton Heights’ Liz Hicks was named tournament MVP, while teammates Veronica Plonis and Josi Delasi were named all-stars. Clayton Heights will now move on to AAA provincials – as will Fraser Heights – which are set for Vernon, Dec. 3-5.

AAA boys At the Fraser Valley AAA senior boys championships, Earl Marriott ended up third, after winning the bronzemedal match over Surrey Christian. The Mariners – who had already qualified for provincials earlier in the week, by virtue of a win in quarter-finals – defeated Surrey Christian 3-1 Thursday night. Tyson Smith was named to the tournament all-star team. Marriott was bumped from gold-medal contention after a 3-0 loss to Fraser Heights in semifinals earlier last week. EMS will now prepare for provincials, which run Dec. 3-5 at the Langley Events Centre.

BCHL team’s losing streak reaches 12

Eagles fall to Wild Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

A win will have to wait. The Surrey Eagles’ on-ice woes continued last weekend, as the struggling BC Hockey League team dropped an 8-0 decision to the Wenatchee Wild Sunday evening at South Surrey Arena. The loss was the 12th in a row for the Eagles, whose losing streak has now extended beyond a month; the team’s last victory came Oct. 20 against Langley. The losses have dropped the Birds to the bottom of the BCHL’s Mainland Division standings with a 4-21 win-loss record. Defence has been spotty at best for Surrey this season – they’ve given up 126 goals against, which is worst in the league – and while they gave up another eight against the Wild Sunday, offence was also a problem. The Eagles managed just 18 shots on Wenatchee netminder Chase

Perry, who recorded his third shutout of the season. Forbes Ploszaj was between the pipes for the Eagles, and was peppered with 41 shots on goal from the Wild, who were making their first-ever regular-season appearance at South Surrey Arena. The visitors jumped out to a lead early, scoring two first-period goals just five seconds apart. In the third, the Wild scored three more – one at five-on-five, one shorthanded and one with the man-advantage – and did the same in the third period. August Von Ungern led the attack with two goals and an assist for Wenatchee, who jumped into first place in the Mainland Division with the win. Surrey travelled a few hours up the highway for a game today (Wednesday) against the Merritt Centennials, and return home to South Surrey Arena Friday for a home game against the West Kelowna Warriors.

Tips to manage stress by Ellie Bolgar

Affordable fees & flexible schedule. “My therapeutic approach involves Dr.Psy.(can). MA. RCC developing a safe & deep connection that allows patients Counseling/Psychotherapy to trust the inner guidance & for Individuals, Couples external learning”.

Ellie Bolgar

1. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Self-judgment causes much stress and anxiety. Practice compassion toward yourself and others for and Families, Youth and mistakes or failures. Children. 2. Let an argument go until you can come back to the conflict when you’re in a calmer place. Anger, blame and the attempt to control others can be stressful and by arguing, defending or explaining yourself and cause Tel: 604-535-3335 more stress. 401-14022 32nd Ave. 3. Often people believe that, somehow, South Surrey V4P 2J2 worrying will give them something to do www.livingwellness.ca when they feel helpless. Instead, practice developing trust. 4. Practice mindful breathing; all the way down into your stomach, rather than shallowly breathing into your upper chest, can release stress. 5. Take some time daily to meditate and process your feelings. When you avoid your feelings by staying in your head, judging yourself, turning to various addictions, or making someone else responsible for your feelings, you are creating more stress. 6. Learn to face life. Trying to control your feelings by avoiding facing the reality of your situation creates more stress. 7. Accept that you don’t control the actions of others. Stress comes from trying to control what we can’t control. Compassionately accepting your helplessness over others and outcomes creates serenity. 8. Practice gratitude. Complaining creates stress. Instead, focusing on what you are grateful for. 9. Laugh. Laughter relieves stress. Even in the midst of life’s challenges, it’s important to find ways to relieve stress with laughter.

Karen Joan

Karen passed away peacefully with her family by her side after a courageous battle with cancer. She is lovingly remembered by her husband Dave, step-daughter Devin, brother David, sisters Kathy (Wayne), Lauren, Deidre (Ron), her much loved grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Her smile and overactive sense of humour will be missed by many. A special thanks to the doctors and staff at Surrey Memorial, Royal Columbian, and Peace Arch Hospitals for their empathy and professionalism. A Celebration of Life will take place on Friday, November 27th at 3pm at Kwomais Hall, 1367 128th Street, South Surrey. Donations made in Karen’s memory to the BC Cancer Foundation would be greatly appreciated.

William J.

December 6, 1919 - November 16, 2015 Beloved husband to Ann Maurick, loving father to Ann (Stephen) Bosanoz and Elizabeth Stoneman (John Lien). Exceptional grandfather to 4 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. Bill served in The Royal Netherlands Army during WWII. After being wounded in the leg by gunfire, he survived in a Nazi concentration camp, after which he was awarded multiple citations. In 1952 he moved his family from Holland to Leamington, Ont. Canada where he worked hard to enjoy the wonderful opportunities his new country offered. They moved to Ruthven, Ont. and resided there for almost 50 years in a home they built. He retired from his most rewarding position as a Supervisor in a home for senior citizens. In 2006, Bill and Ann moved to Surrey BC to be closer to family. He enjoyed drawing, painting and wood carving. He will be remembered as a gracious man, with a good sense of humour, well-liked by everyone that met him. Bill often said, “Everything is beautiful”, but we all knew that the beauty came from within him. He will be missed dearly.
