New technology in one-fifth of local homes

One per cent balk at meters Jeff Nagel Black Press

BC Hydro’s David DeYagher compares a smart meter (foreground) to an analog meter.

In BC Hydro’s smart-meter lab in south Burnaby, staff know they still have an uphill battle in their ongoing bid to roll out their modernized smart power grid. It’s a steeper climb in some parts of the Lower Mainland than others. Less than 20 per cent of households have been switched over to the controversial wireless smart meters in Surrey, White Rock, the Tri-Cities and Maple Ridge. In contrast, 80 per cent of homes have now been converted in Richmond and Delta. The conversion rate is closer to 30 per cent in Vancouver, Burnaby and the North Shore, as well as the Mission, Abbotsford and Chilliwack areas in the Fraser Valley. About one per cent of B.C.’s 1.8 million households have balked at accepting smart meters in their homes. Hydro’s strategy is to work around the several thousand resisters. Meter installers go where they’re unopposed and continue their work. Eventually, officials say, everyone

First in a two-part series Ê Next: BC Hydro answers questions raised by opponents of smart meters will have to be onboard. “We have about 20 per cent of our system fully deployed now,” says Fiona Taylor, deputy project officer for the smart-metering program. “We’ve had about 1,000 customers to date call with concerns and then change their views on that once we’ve had a chance to talk to them.” Many who object worry that a new layer of wireless radiation penetrating their homes will harm their health. “There’s a significant amount of misinformation out there,” Hydro communications manager Cindy Verschoor said. “The meters are absolutely safe. They’ve been confirmed safe by the provincial health officer, the World Health Organization and Health Canada.” Smart meters do send brief wireless pulses out to the rest of the grid a few times a day to relay power-use data. see page A4

Appeal considered after figure jumps $223,000 in Ocean Park

Home-assessment boost ‘mystifies’ resident Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Ocean Park resident Sohan Rai was expecting his property assessment for 2012 to go up from the 2011 figure. He was expecting he might have to argue the figure with BC Assessment – it wouldn’t be the first time. But he wasn’t expecting a hike in value of $223,000. Last year’s assessment placed the land and building values for his 16-year-old home at $1,301,000. This year’s, it’s at $1,524,000 – a 17.1 per cent increase. South Fraser Region officials said last week Surrey and White Rock homeowners could expect to see changes in the minus-five per

e c n a D

cent to plus-15 per cent range for 2012. However, deputy assessor Craig Barnsley noted Wednesday it is not unusual for some properties to show an increase of two per cent or even more over the predicted amount. Although some are registering surprise with assessments this year, “call volumes are not out of line with what we would expect.” Generally, “less than one per cent” of assessments are disputed, he said. For Rai, who is mulling an appeal, the increase means he’s now looking at paying around $12,000 in taxes, compared with last year’s bill of $9,000. Rai said the assessed value of his property has climbed by at least $200,000 in each

of the last three years – and he can’t see why, particularly when neighbours spend far more on improvements. “I’ve been in the building trade for 45 years – I know how much these things cost.” And even though his three-storey stucco home may look grand, Rai said it was built economically, and he’s never been able to afford to finish it properly. Rai said he is finding his tax bill harder to meet each year, as he hasn’t been able to work much since he was injured in a car crash seven years ago. “We’re seeing the value of houses going up and up, but the economy is really low and there are no jobs out there,” he said. “Gas is

going up, groceries are going up. I don’t know how the government and the system works. It seems they want to grab the money.” Rai received his assessment Jan. 3. He is concerned his limited ability to express himself in English could hamper an appeal, in getting across the finer points of his arguments. Barnsley said owners can speak to supervisors if they disagree with an appraiser. “We’re all about public service and transparency,” he said. Property owners who feel their assessment doesn’t reflect market value are urged to contact BC Assessment as soon as possible. The deadline to appeal is Jan. 31.

news Financial advisor disciplined after evidence of falsified documents

Mutual-funds group orders lifetime ban Vikki Hopes Black Press

A White Rock resident who worked as a financial adviser in Abbotsford has been permanently banned from conducting “securities-related business” and ordered to pay a $75,000 fine and $10,000 in costs. The ruling was made last Thursday against Michael Labrick Harvey by the Mutual Fund Dealers Association (MFDA) of Canada, following a disciplinary hearing for which Harvey did not show up. Attempts by Black Press to contact Harvey have been unsuccessful. The three-person panel ruled that Harvey failed to co-operate with an investigation by the MFDA, despite repeated requests for an interview, starting in May 2010. According to the MFDA “notice of hear-

ing” from August 2011, 19 clients issued 12 complaints about Harvey’s conduct as a mutual-fund salesperson. He was employed by Investors Group Financial Services Inc. from 2005 to 2008 and Canaccord Capital Corporation from 2008 until he resigned in February 2010. The complaints allege Harvey made “unsuitable leveraging recommendations,” falsified client signatures and initials, and falsified information on account documents between December 2006 and September 2008. The clients allege Harvey failed to inform them that mutual funds bought for their accounts had been purchased on a “deferred sales charge,” resulting in substantial fees when the investments were redeemed. In one complaint detailed by the MFDA, a client alleged that some of the signatures and

initials on documents in his file were leverage loans and investments of not his, his listed income had been those clients at its own expense, inflated and his risk tolerance had among other measures,” stated the MFDA documents. been listed as “high” when it should have been “medium.” The agency concluded Harvey had In another case, a couple who had falsified client signatures or initials invested $300,000 in a leveraging on at least 67 documents and proplan lost $105,000, and alleged that vided false information to ensure requirements were met and his recHarvey had made unsuitable recommendations and had not explained ommendations were approved. the associated financial risks.

Family searches

Mother’s message Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A Richmond woman who hasn’t heard from her son for nearly two weeks is appealing to the South Surrey man to at least let someone know he’s OK. “Call somebody,” Gail Pek said Tuesday, in a message she hopes will spur 24-year-old Derrick Pek to make contact. “Ideally, come back home, but if you don’t want to, just let us know he’s OK.” Gail last saw her son at her Derrick Pek home around 1 a.m. Dec. 30. She said he seemed upset when he dropped by, but in a conversation that afternoon, assured her everything was fine. He wouldn’t tell her what had been bothering him. She became concerned after she couldn’t reach her son on Jan. 1 and 2, and after learning he also hadn’t been in touch with his friends. “That’s out of character for him,” she told Peace Arch News. While Derrick – who lives in the 15500-block of 26 Avenue – did call a family member Thursday, Gail said, he wouldn’t say where he was or what was going on. She learned the call had originated in Calgary. While the call brought some comfort, Pek said it is “tough” not knowing where Derrick is or why he has not tried to reach her. “We just don’t know. That is the hardest part,” she said. “If you could put reason to it, that might make it easier.” Surrey RCMP first appealed for help locating Derrick Pek Jan. 4. Cpl. Drew Grainger confirmed he is still considered missing. “There is some belief that he might be in the Alberta area, but we haven’t confirmed that yet.” Derrick Pek is described as a Caucasian male, 5’9”, 165 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. Anyone with information can call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

White Rock approves new policy for trees on city land

Bylaw focuses on ‘established views’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock has a new policy for the management of trees on city land. But support for the revised legislation – voted on during Monday night’s council meeting – was not unanimous. Couns. Larry Robinson and Al Campbell both opposed the policy, with Campbell voicing several concerns. Campbell didn’t agree with the removal of an avenue for residents to appeal decisions; that only the director of engineering and municipal operations can approve or deny applications for tree removal; and, that at least 65 per cent of respondents within 30 metres of a tree under application for removal must be in support. “Sixty-five (per cent) – I don’t know where you got that,” Campbell said of the recommended support rating. He noted residents suggested in September figures of 100 per cent, 60 per cent or 50-plusone would be more appropriate. Campbell motioned to amend the policy to include the 50-plus-one option, but was defeated,

with Couns. Helen Fathers, Louise Hutchinson and Mayor Wayne Baldwin opposed. Revisions presented Monday are the result of a process that was initiated after controversy erupted early last year following approval of an application to remove trees from city land in the 15100-block of Royal Avenue. The applicant’s request – made on the basis that the trees were blocking views – was initially denied, but was granted by council on appeal. In explaining revisions, municipal operations manager Rob Thompson said the goal was to transform Policy 611 from something that considers unwanted trees, to guidelines that recognize their inherent value to the community. He noted applications to remove significant trees, ravine trees and park trees will not be considered. Applications regarding trees blocking views will only be considered if the applicant can prove the tree or trees in question has grown to obscure an established view. “If the tree has always been there and obstructs the view, that is not enough,” he said. Applications involving trees that are part of a development will be considered separately.

Two key changes to the draft presented in the summer were the decrease in the necessary support rating to 65 per cent; and clarification of provincial policies regarding tree-pruning or removal during bird nesting season. Hutchinson and Fathers both commended the revised document, with Hutchinson calling it a “good solution to a really difficult problem.” “Dogs and trees will forever be the Achilles heel in White Rock,” she said. Fathers, whose two vehicles were vandalized last February in the heat of increasing tensions over the tree policy, described the process leading up to it as “traumatic at times.” She questioned how the policy applied to significant trees in the city. Thompson said it doesn’t, but noted a separate policy for such trees is in the works and expected to come to council in about a month. While Campbell opposed the revised policy, he did say gains have been made since council came under fire a year ago. “We have come a long way,” he said. “At least we’re accepting now that property owners in White Rock have a right to a view.”

Smart meters from page A1 Unlike FM radio transmitters that emit the same type of radiation continually, the smart meter transmissions add up to less than one minute of exposure per day (latest tests suggest it is a couple of seconds), at power levels several times lower than a cellphone. Hydro estimates the radio frequency (RF) exposure from standing next to a smart meter for 20 years is equivalent to a 30-minute cellphone call. A new statement on the exposure risk prepared and approved by the B.C. Cancer Agency at the request of provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall says there’s no convincing evidence of health risk from wireless technology. Smart-meter transmission exposure rapidly diminishes with distance, it notes, reaching just one 100,000th of Health Canada’s limit at a range of three metres. “This exposure level is much less than exposure to RF from cellphone use,” according to the Dec. 23 statement by Mary McBride. She also notes brain tumour rates have not increased despite increasing cell❝Smart meters phone use, concluding no mechpose no threat anisms have been identified that lead to a higher cancer of… health would risk from either cellphones or hazards smart meters. Repeated studies have failed to according confirm claims some people sufto Canadian fer from electromagnetic sensiregulations.❞ tivity, McBride notes. Rob Stirling Independent electromagnetic radiation tests commissioned by CBC News in December verified BC Hydro’s evidence that smart meters are drowned out by FM transmitters, cellphones and myriad other signals. Some apartment dwellers have raised concerns that they may live too close to large banks of smart meters. In practice, one meter in a bank communicates out to the grid on behalf of the others. Tests next to the bank of 10 smart meters in BC Hydro’s lab show that even if they are all set to transmit simultaneously and continuously – something that wouldn’t happen – the combined radiation is no stronger than one cellphone operating. The CBC test by engineer Rob Stirling found continuous cellphone frequency and FM signals in Vancouver both eclipsed the emissions of the lab smart meters running at full power. “Smart meters pose no threat of illegal radio interference, or health hazards according to Canadian regulations,” he concluded. RF signals – beamed out by everything from radio stations and the sun to wireless computer routers and fluorescent light fixtures – blanket the urban landscape. Opponents of smart meters, including the group Citizens For Safe Technology, haven’t given up. CST has launched a province-wide petition opposing the rollout and they’re seeking an injunction from the BC Utilities Commission to stop it, on grounds that the wireless technology goes beyond the scope of the program’s enabling legislation.

STRIDES Teen to plead guilty in attack WINTER SALE news

Faced arrest warrant for failing to show for court appearance

Dan Ferguson Black Press

An 18-year-old Langley man now intends to plead guilty to using pepper spray to assault two undercover RCMP officers. Dallas Ball also plans to plead guilty to unrelated theft charges in connection with two other incidents in Langley and White Rock when he returns to Surrey Provincial Court on Jan. 17. A formal notice of intent was filed with the court registry by Ball’s lawyer on Tuesday, Jan. 10. That headed off an application for an arrest warrant by the prosecutor over Ball’s failure to appear for a Dec. 23 Surrey Provincial Court hearing on charges of assaulting a police officer, assault with a weapon and willfully resisting or obstructing a police officer. Ball was arrested on Nov. 2 in the City of Langley shortly after the daytime incident. Two Langley RCMP Street Enforcement Unit officers spotted two men walking through an alley, one of them wanted on an outstanding warrant. When the plainclothes Mounties identified themselves as police, both suspects fled on foot. As the officers pursued the suspects in the 5600 block of 206 Street on foot, police said the man with the outstanding

An earnest bid to understand

gainst a backdrop of stunningly high home assessment values for 2011, SurreyFleetwood MLA Jagrup Brar found “seven-star” accommodation in Newton last week, as part of his quest to live on a single, employable man’s welfare income for the month. It’s a 12-foot-by-12-foot room in a Newton house he’ll share with six other people. Brar’s portion costs $375. The space is reasonably clean, at least, and there’s room for Brar to move around. That can’t be said about one of the other rooms he viewed – not much more than a closet. With a place to lay his head secured, Brar’s attention turned to another necessity: Food. With his finances already dwindling (after spending money on rent/damage deposit, a cellphone and bus tickets – needed in order to search for work, a requirement for collecting his social assistance), Brar budgeted about $30 for a week’s worth of groceries. He only has $67 left, and 27 more days remaining in the month-long experiment. Is Brar’s stint on the streets “real?” Technically, no. Even he admits that. Is it worthwhile? Yes. Besides income-assistance rates, Brar’s acceptance of Raise the Rates’ welfare challenge, and the attention it’s attracting, keeps a number of important issues in the spotlight. Among them are the lack of decent rental stock; unscrupulous landlords who offer appalling accommodation to the financially vulnerable (while the government turns a blind eye); and the growing gap between the haves and have-nots in this prosperous and promising region. The public often demands that politicians “walk a mile” in their shoes, suggesting TransLink directors forgo their vehicles for transit or premiers try to live on a regular Joe’s annual salary. Yet many are damning Brar for what appears to be an earnest attempt to better understand the plight of the poor. High school students aren’t criticized for abstaining from eating for 24 hours and calling it a “famine” in a bid to try to understand starvation in Third-World countries. In our instant-gratification culture, going without – even for a short period of time and in the context of a simulated experience – can go a long way towards providing insight. So good on Brar for walking the walk, despite having the ability to walk away from the hardship at the end of the month. Hopefully, he’ll bring new wisdom, along with the voice of his constituents, to the legislative table and affect positive change.

Last week we asked...

Do you feel reasonably safe in your community?

yes 82% no 18% 107 responding flat baskets on the bottom of one’s boots to walk in water! Not so up in the snowy hinterlands of B.C. We did take some technology with us, in the form of two snowmobiles. Of course, one packed it in on day two. That limited the gas-powered travel to the northern version of transit – a sled behind a snow machine. And when we weren’t doing that, there was wood to chop and carry inside. There were meals to prepare and consume. There was water to draw from under the ice in the creek, and tote to the cabin. And there was old-fashioned fun – cards. Who would have thought two teens could engage in variations of games that have been around for centuries? At night, there were stars upon which to gaze. Not the paltry little pinpoints we see through city lights and smog. No, northern winter skies are dusted with a billion diamonds, some in swaths so thick they seem like glowing dust. And then there was the silence. Silence so penetrating you can hear it. Silence so pure it compels one to be silent. Except for the talking. Imagine that. Instead of texting, the girls talked. And talked some more. And they laughed, and walked and worked together, with nary a digit working a digital device. And they were reminded that this is what people used to do all the time.

Handouts won’t help Editor: Saturday at noon, I watched two aggressive panhandlers assault a pedestrian near 24 Avenue and King George Boulevard. They swarmed, chased after and then repeatedly kicked the man who was half their size. I called the police, outraged at what I saw. The police came, as I watched I saw no fines for panhandling. I made a complaint to the RCMP about how the situation was handled. The officer assured me there was nothing they could do and “the panhandling fine is worth the paper it was written on for the specific individuals in question.” So, being filled in on the law and the way the RCMP hands are tied, I returned Sunday and was going about my business, when I saw one of the two panhandling individuals back out there. I decided to have my peaceful protest in the street further up from where the panhandler was. My sign said: “Do NOT give $ to violent junky panhandlers.” I plan to get out my sign and peacefully protest each and every time I see them on the street. Be careful, pedestrians. When encountering the two, they are violent. While I waited for the police, I watched one follow and scream at a man in his 40s and scream at cars passing by. Please, stop enabling people. Donate to your food bank, if they’re hungry they will go there. K. Harper, Surrey

Senate vote makes history Editor: Canada’s first elected female senator has been appointed. This fact was largely ignored by Canada’s national media, while they focused on condemning the latest Conservative senate appointments. Betty Unger, who was the choice of Alberta voters in a referendum, was among the seven latest appointees to be given the nod by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Glen Gerow, Surrey

Return visit’s the charm Editor: This week, I had to take my wife into emergency again at Peace Arch Hospital. Unlike our previous frustrating experience at PAH a few weeks ago – as I described in my last letter (Plenty of space, just not the will, Dec. 29 letters) this time everything went very well, so I thought it appropriate to let readers know that the service at PAH can be first class. The triage nurse did a superb

job giving out a surgical mask and getting my wife an isolation room in emergency within 30 minutes after being told that she was immune-compromised. The senior nurse got an IV going in minutes even before the doctor had studied the new blood work. The doctor was very pleasant, informative and helpful. My wife was able to leave after three hours with her symptoms under control and a suitable prescription, in case of any recurrence. All in all, this illustrated how our medical system should function

when everything goes right. Unfortunately, not everyone that day was as fortunate as we were this time; many old people were still in beds in the hallway, as my wife was last time. It was infuriating to discover that the Fraser Health’s combined budget for administration and corporate overhead is now running at almost one-third of the total $1.55 billion 2010/11 annual budget while direct patient care is being short-changed. The B.C. government refuses to provide sufficient funds and fails to insist on health dollars being spent

on patient care – beds and medical staff – rather than bureaucrats. If we once again had publiclyelected hospital directors, rather than political appointees, then we could bring direct pressure on hospital management to do a better job. There would be no more ‘blacked-out’ wards or overcrowded emergency areas. Citizens should remember at the next B.C. election that this situation is a direct result of political decisions flowing directly from Victoria. Your vote is your only way to improve health care in B.C. Herbert Spencer, Surrey

Readers respond to a letter to the editor that back assertions by environmental columnist Roy Strang (see page A10).

Of course mankind has an impact Editor: Re: Warm-mongers ignore obvious, Jan. 3 letters. Is it just naiveté or just plain stupidity that causes people to mouth off about the non-impact that humans have had on the environment to date. Do they really believe that with the advent of seven billion people – and increasing by 80 million per day – polluting the earth with everything from their feces to the air that they breathe out to the garbage that is originally industrially created so that they can dispose of it later, over the last say 150 years, that this has had no impact on the world and has not resulted in global warming or climate change? Unbelievable! All experts aside, if you just think of it logically, millions of vehicles turning fossil fuels into huge amounts of gases, thousands of power stations/ cement plants/mines all converting fossil fuels into huge amounts of gases, humans denuding the planet of tropical and other forests hence dramatically reducing nature’s ability of converting huge amounts of human produced bad gases back into good gases (photosynthesis), overeating etc. How could you not believe this has had any impact on the earth, resulting in some global warming? I agree there is a natural progression of cooling and heating of the planet’s environment. But to think we have had no effect on the rate of natural warming or reduction in the rate of natural cooling by our greed for gratification is just plain stupid. Ask all the people who have died around the world from droughts and the like what their opinion is on global warming. Ivan Scott, Surrey The letter writer states that in the past 70 years, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have risen from 0.028 per cent to 0.039 per cent. That is an increase of over 39 per cent, a significant difference. The writer claims a large portion of that increase is due to volcanos. On Feb. 15, 2007, the scientists at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory wrote: “Our studies show that globally, volcanoes on land and under the sea release a total of about 200 million tonnes of CO2

annually… Because while 200 million tonnes of CO2 is large, the global fossil fuel CO2 emissions for 2003 tipped the scales at 26.8 billion tonnes. Thus, not only does volcanic CO2 not dwarf that of human activity, it actually comprises less than one per cent of that value.” The writer suggests that the earth’s temperature has been stable for the past 15 years. In fact, the oceans have been absorbing a lot of thermal energy as they warm up, and the glaciers have been doing likewise as they melt. The earth has been warming even faster than most scientists had predicted. The writer suggests “global warming” was invented for the sake of research grants. I disagree! Objective reasoning is a difficult thing for all people, but scientists definitely do better at it than the rest of us. Bill McConnell, Surrey Whether we wish to be ostrich-like and ignore global warming, or take a reasoned approach and look at all the evidence is, in the end, up to us. Regardless, the most recent detailed research from the British MET and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration assessed temperature change in a more detailed manner than had been done before. The report for the first time looked at all 10 different ways of measuring climate change – including sea level temp, upper atmospheric from weather balloons and glacier assessment. The findings: 1) The world is unequivocally warming and it has for more than 30 years. 2)Variability in local temperature doesn’t mean the rest of the world is cooling. 3) Greenhouse gases are clear reasons for the 0.56 C (1 F) warming over the past 50 years. The research concludes: “When we follow decade-todecade trends using different data sets and independent analyses from around the world, we see clear and unmistakable signs of a warming world.” Head-in-the-sand responses to such research can’t deny the unmistakable truth: no matter who delivers the pill, it is a bitter – but necessary – one to swallow.

BCGEU, government begin contract talks Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. government begins contract talks with one of its largest unions this week, and the union wants a raise as most of its members come off a two-year wage freeze. The B.C. Government and Service Employees Union represents 25,000 direct provincial employees, including prison guards, deputy sheriffs, liquor store staff, social workers, probation officers, biologists, lab workers and nursing and other staff at facilities including Riverview

Hospital and Forensic Psychiatric Hospital. Another group of BCGEU workers in health, community social service and other jobs with contracted agencies are set to begin talks in February. About 85 per cent of all union members have contracts expiring in 2012. “We’ll be going to every table determined to get wage improvements,” BCGEU president Darryl Walker said. In bargaining conferences held with union members in December, members also want improvements

Aim is to force province to increase funding

Legal aid lawyers to withdraw service Jeff Nagel Black Press

Legal aid lawyers have started what they vow will be an escalating strike to press the province to increase funding. It began last week with most lawyers who handle legal aid work refusing to represent new adult clients arrested on criminal charges who cannot afford their own representation. The Jan. 1-7 withdrawal of duty counsel services expands to two weeks in the first half of February, followed by three weeks in March and then all four weeks of April. The tactic by lawyers threatens to leave many more accused people unrepresented before the courts in order to bring the issue to a head. “It’s not a step they came to lightly,” said Trial Lawyers Association of B.C. communications director Bentley Doyle. “They’re concerned about leaving clients without help. They feel desperate and they hope it’s short-term pain for long-term gain.” Legal aid funding has been cut by 27 per cent over the last decade, from $96 million in 2001 to about $67 mil-

lion. An extra $2.1 million announced by the provincial government for childrelated legal aid will not make a significant difference, Doyle said. “Far too many citizens right now do not have legal representation,” he said. Doyle said legal aid should be considered an essential service in B.C. and therefore should be properly funded. The government takes in about $100 million annually in through its provincial tax on legal fees, but the money is not directed toward legal aid, which the tax was created to fund in the first place. Many people before the courts who previously got legal aid assistance are now forced to represent themselves, causing more slowdowns in an already severely congested legal system. A public commission into legal aid last year concluded B.C. is failing its most disadvantaged citizens and seriously lags other jurisdictions. The provincial government says its new Family Law Act – which encourages mediation and other measures to cut down on court time – will help.

Kevin Falcon finance minister

ing proposals, the B.C. government is looking at a $3.1 billion operating deficit for this year. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon, MLA for Surrey-Cloverdale, has repeatedly indicated that there will be no budget increases to pay higher wages. In its October throne speech, the government said raises would have to be funded by “co-operative gains” that create savings elsewhere. That declaration is similar to the “net zero” mandate in effect for the last two years. Most provincial unions accepted the two-year freeze, but the B.C. Teachers’ Fed-

eration has refused and withdrawn non-essential services since September. Walker, a White Rock resident, has suggested that opening more government liquor stores on Sundays could generate additional revenues to fund a raise for BCGEU staff. And he isn’t ruling out strike action. “We have a tough road ahead,” Walker wrote in an open letter to members on the BCGEU website. “But we’re prepared for any action we have to take to get you the improved contracts you’ve earned.”

news MLA trying to live on welfare for month of January

Brar running low on cash Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Ten days into his experiment living on welfare rates, MLA Jagrup Brar has $55 left in his account and thinks he’ll be completely out of money by Jan. 20. Brar, the MLA for Surrey-Fleetwood, accepted the Welfare Challenge, meaning he lives on $610 for January. He has spent $375 for rent, and has bought a bus pass and some groceries, but has just over $55 left. “My money is running out more quickly than I thought,” Brar said. “I will run out of money some day, then I have to survive and find food where people who don’t have any resources find food.” He says that could include binning for food (diving into dumpsters). Asked if he’d eat the food he finds, he said he wasn’t too sure. On Tuesday, he said the first 10 days were extremely hard.

Jagrup Brar trudges through the rain in North Surrey on his way to a welfare office last week. One of the most frightening nights he’s had was the second day, when he slept at a North Surrey shelter. Before going in, a lady came up to him and said she had a terrible

time sleeping, because a man had placed a knife and a hammer between them. When Brar laid down that night, he found himself beside the same man, spending the first few hours

awake, staring at a knife and hammer. “I never thought I would be able to sleep all night,” Brar said, adding he managed to get a few hours shuteye. “I know it’s going to get a lot harder when I get to Vancouver,” Brar said, adding he’ll be sleeping in single room occupancy rooms (SROs) and money will be running out. “I think my body is going to feel the pain more and more, as I’m starving my body.” During the last 10 days, he has met homeless people, single mothers, teen mothers, youth and farmworkers. “My experience so far has been eye-opening, heartbreaking and myth-breaking and painful,” Brar said. Brar continues in Surrey until Jan. 16, and then goes to Vancouver for the last two weeks. He is blogging at http://mlaonwelfare. com

The reason is to keep stamps alive and – if the recipient gets the hint – she’ll receive letters back with stamps. Call her a stickler for the hobby, but Austma has collected stamps for 71 years, since she was seven. Sorting a new collection at a gathering of the Cloverdale Senior’s Stamp Club, she shows off pages of her favourite genres: flowers, birds, British royalty and the Olympics. Today, she’ll only keep a few of the stamps that have come in. The rest, once soaked, dried and organized, will go towards fundraising at the Canadian Cancer Society or to the Union Gospel Mission in Vancouver. Club organizer John Jackman, ❝I don’t like to 81, says stamp collecting is call myself a easy to get into and needs little philatelist. I’m outlay of money to get going. All one needs to start are tongs an advanced to handle the stamps without collector.❞ damaging them, a magnifying John Jackman glass and an album. Collectors can buy, trade, sell or donate their stamps, and most eventually specialize in specific themes or countries, and often have friends in foreign countries with whom they trade. Jackman trades with collectors as far away as the Vatican and Israel. The term ‘philately’ comes into play only for the most serious collectors – enthusiasts who take the time to examine watermarks, flaws and perforations that may not be visible to the naked eye. “I don’t like to call myself a philatelist,” admits Jackman. “I’m an advanced collector.” see page A12

Reprinted stamps often worth more from page A11 Club member Mike Doin recently discovered that he owned a series of three-cent Canadian stamps with a spelling error. “Don’t think that I found those (myself),” he says with a laugh. “I read about them.” In one error, the Canadian Mint reprinted a series of animal-themed stamps with the word “auna” written instead of “fauna.” The reprinted stamps of that series, according to the Scott Catalogue, are worth more than the originals. Currently, the number of club members is about 15, and Jackson says there’s always room for more at the twice monthly meetings. Austma says her adult kids and grandchildren haven’t taken up the hobby, even though she’s got a large collection to pass onto them. Her grandkids, she admits, are into coins.

A new year, a new you Beware of scammers with Slimband! Top 10 list of common scams unveiled by BBB

Scammers are using new guises to misrepresent themselves and separate consumers from their cash, according to the Better Business Bureau. The agency released its annual list of top 10 scams of the year last week: 1. Brand spoofing Brand spoofing (aka phishing) is a term for email, text messages and websites fabricated and sent by criminals to look like they come from trusted businesses and agencies to collect personal, financial and sensitive information. 2. Advance fee loans Consumers have reported losing substantial sums of money responding to advertisements that “guarantee” loans. QUICK TIP: It is illegal for a company to charge a fee in advance to obtain a loan, even if that fee is disguised as the first or last month’s payment. 3. Gold buying schemes The price of gold soared in 2011. Similar to gold rushes of the past, a strained economy and high demand resulted in many selling, trading and receiving unfair returns when cashing in their gold and jewellery. 4. Financial elder abuse Common frauds include tricking seniors into giving out banking information; encouraging unnecessary home repairs, telemarketing and mail fraud. QUICK TIP: Signs a senior is being financially abused include: missing belongings, unusual activity in bank accounts, suspicious stories, sudden changes in Power of Attorney or Wills and numerous unpaid bills. 5. Power saving claims The switch to smart meters in B.C. fostered a rise in false claims and

deceptive ads by some scammers selling energy conservation devices 6. Door-to-door sales Each year a variety of unscrupulous door-to-door salespeople use highpressure tactics to frighten people into purchasing expensive, substandard products and services. QUICK TIP: Don’t give in to highpressure tactics. If you feel threatened by an aggressive salesperson, ask them to leave your property. 7. Virus fixing scheme A scammer claims to be phoning from Microsoft about a problem with the person’s computer. In order to “fix” it, the computer owner is told to download a program. The catch: the owner has downloaded damaging spyware. QUICK TIP: Treat all unsolicited phone calls with skepticism. Check with the organization. 8. Fraudulent locksmiths Consumers reported “local locksmiths” advertising online using a local telephone number and address, but when contacted, consumers are connected to a call centre in another city. 9. Penny auctions Online ads, often designed to look like news reports, are cropping up on popular websites claiming you can get great deals on electronics with online penny auctions. Even if you don’t win the item, you still pay for the bids you placed, which add up. QUICK TIP: Before providing any personal information, read all of the fine print. 10. Anti-social network Social network users are often subject to targeted advertising, direct messages and scams. For more advice, visit www.bbb.org

Volunteers needed Big Brothers of Greater Vancouver (BBGV) always needs volunteers but the organization is currently emphasizing just how much it needs them right now. In fact, the mentoring agency currently needs 372 volunteers throughout the Lower Mainland (including 29 in Surrey, White Rock and Delta) and the need is an urgent one. The urgency is not based on a quota. Rather, the number is based on the need in the community. “January is a critical volunteer recruitment time for us,” explains Joanne Kautz-Allard, program director at BBGV. “The closer we get to summer, the more drastic a drop in applications we see which means more kids sit on a wait list – vulnerable to the adversities facing them.” While summer is several months away, the six- to eight-week intake process means volunteers who sign up right now won’t start volunteering until late February at the earliest. The timing is particularly imperative to the In-School Mentoring Program, which involves volunteer participation throughout the school year only. By early March, it is already too late for volunteers to join

the program. “We don’t want people to rush their decision to volunteer but if it is something they have considered for a time, we ask them to take the initiative and give us a call to get answers to their questions,” explains Kautz-Allard. “It is a commitment but most people find it’s not as time consuming as they initially think. In fact, both men and women can take part in the flexible in-school program in just one hour each week. The better-known Big Brothers program requires a two- to four-hour time commitment per week. Big Brothers of Greater Vancouver offers mentoring programs to at-risk children. The one-on-one friendships allow children the benefit of a positive role model. Operating the Big Brothers Program, as well as two in-school programs also involving women and girls, Big Brothers main focus is to create friendships that will build confidence and create possibilities for children. There are estimates some 10,000 Lower Mainland children could benefit from a mentor. To find out how you can volunteer, visit bigbrothersvancouver.com

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lost and foundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pet site launched The BC SPCA has launched an online pet-search site hoped to help reunite thousands of lost pets with their families. In addition to featuring photos and descriptions of lost animals in care in all BC SPCA shelters, the site also allows the public to post their own images and descriptions of lost-and-found animals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each year, the BC SPCA rescues more than 13,000 stray and lost animals,â&#x20AC;? says Lorie Chor-

tyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sadly, many of these animals do not have any form of identification linking them to their guardians, and we are unable to reunite them with their families. Although we do find new loving homes for them, our first choice would obviously be to return them to their original family.â&#x20AC;? On the new site, every lost animal brought to any BC SPCA shelter will be automatically

posted for viewing online. Posts by site users become part of a searchable database; the listings can be edited or removed at any time. For those who have lost a pet, a poster is generated featuring the petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photo, name and description, the date and location the animal went missing and the guardianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contact information.

enviro notes

Evidence from the past shows CO2 concentrations much higher than those being experienced now. Also at times, when CO2 levels were much higher than today’s, global temperatures fell, and at other times, low CO2 levels coincided with relatively high temperatures, showing that temperature and CO2 are not directly correlated. Mankind’s annual contribution to atmospheric CO2 is less than five per cent, the other 95 per cent coming from natural factors. Despite this data, forecasts of warming blamed on CO2 emissions have persuaded politicians that a carbon tax or a cap-and-trade imposition is necessary. If implemented, the Kyoto accord, and now Durban, could cost our economy billions and reduce global temperature by only 0.08 per cent. Environment Canada estimated in 2007 that reducing 1990 CO2 emissions by six per cent would eliminate 275,000 jobs, raise electricity and gas prices 50 per cent and cost families $4,000 each year. It seems we’ve been expensively misled. Dr. Roy Strang writes monthly on the environment for the Peace Arch News. rmstrang@shaw.ca

news Big gain in home starts unlikely to repeat

Steady 2012 predicted after 17 per-cent climb Jeff Nagel Black Press

Housing starts jumped 17 per cent last year in Metro Vancouver as buyer interest improved and builders responded by launching new projects. The 17,867 new starts across the region was about 2,600 higher than 2010 and more than twice as many as in 2009, when the construction industry swooned amid the global financial crisis. “The bounce back has been very dramatic,” Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association president and CEO Peter Simpson Peter Simpson said. He expects 2012 to be a “steady-as-she-goes year” without any huge spikes or drops. Builders are still being cautious, he said, because they have no control over whether interest rates climb or if there’s more global economic turbulence. Another area of uncertainty remains the dismantling of the harmonized sales tax (HST), which Simpson said he wishes would happen faster than the province’s target of April 2013. Buyers of more expensive homes

File photo

In comparison to the previous year, 2012 is expected to be a steady year without any huge spikes or drops for housing in Metro Vancouver. priced above the HST rebate threshold can avoid the seven per cent provincial tax portion if they wait until the HST is repealed and B.C. returns to a provincial sales tax along with the federal GST. Simpson said that’s also prompting some home owners to delay major renovations. “It’s still a concern,” he said of the HST, but added it no longer seems to be the first question prospective buyers ask. “People buying homes realize if they wait the savings in HST could

conceivably be offset by higher housing prices and higher interest rates down the road.” Almost 80 per cent of the new units started last year were in multi-family developments, up from 70 per cent in 2010. “Multi-family starts fueled growth in new home construction in 2011,” said Robyn Adamache, senior market analyst for the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. In contrast, just 3,686 detached houses were started last year down, 19 per cent from more than 4,500

in 2010. Surrey’s single-detached-house starts fell to 1,091 from more than 1,900 but the drop was more than offset by increased multi-family construction. “Solid market trends and a more positive economic outlook compared to a year ago have provided the impetus for developers to undertake larger projects,” Adamache said. Richmond and Surrey both saw 1,000 more multi-family units started in 2011 than the previous

year. Richmond saw the biggest growth surge, with starts up 86 per cent, followed by North Vancouver with a gain of 81 per cent and Langley up 41 per cent. The most starts in the region were recorded in Surrey and Vancouver – both had just over 3,800 starts – followed by Richmond at 2,636, Burnaby at 1,611 and Coquitlam at 1,442. Further east in the Fraser Valley, Abbotsford saw a four per cent increase in starts to 537.

Oahu has endless amounts of attractions, highlights and activities. Here are a few examples of what you can enjoy in the Waikiki area: • USS Arizona Memorial • International Market Place • Honolulu Zoo • Leahi (Diamond Head) – Eastern edge of Waikiki’s coastline. Panoramic views of Waikiki and Honolulu. Hike the 0.8 mile trail to the summit. It will take you 1 ½ - 2 hours and costs $1.00 for pedestrians • Honolulu Botanical gardens with unique tropical plants • Wyland Galleries Waikiki – Marine life paintings, sculptures and photography. Marine artist Wyland is famous for painting large, outdoor murals of whales. (See “Gray Whale Family” located on Russell Avenue, White Rock) If you would like to venture outside of the Waikiki area, relatively inexpensive and easy public transportation can take you to places like: • Oahu’s North Shore – surfers’ mecca. Big Wave surf season begins in November and ends in February • Polynesian cultural centre. Experience the history, heritage and culture of the Polynesian People • Waimea Falls Park • Snorkeling at Hanauma Bay Oahu offers a wide variety of dining experiences throughout the island from smaller neighbourhood diners where you can mingle with the locals, to dining in some of Hawaii’s finest restaurants. Indulge in the flavours of the Hawaiian regional cuisine, made from produce picked from local farms and fish caught locally fresh from the sea, creating delicious dishes for both visitors and residents. In the evening, try a traditional Hawaiian sunset luau. Dine while listening to live music and watching skilled entertainers perform hula dancing from across Polynesia as well as Samoan fire-knife dancers. Wherever you travel on the island, you’ll discover the ethnic diversity of Hawaii in the culinary experience. Oahu has various types of accommodation, from Budget to First class. Hotels, resorts, condos and even camping offer visitors a wide selection of options to choose from. Staff favourites for accommodation: Ko’Olina Beach Villas Resort Newer, beachfront, luxury property located 30 minutes from Waikiki. Offers 2 & 3 bedroom villa. All rooms have full kitchen and balcony or lanai. Great property for families and golfers. Moana Surfrider Resort & Spa – Step back in time… this legendary oceanfront hotel often referred to as the “First lady of Waikiki” is located in the Heart of Waikiki Beach. Pacific Beach Hotel – great location, right across the street from the beach. Dine right next to a 280 000 gallon indoor oceanarium. Whether you are a couple, family, single traveler, golfer, surfer or sun worshipper, there is something for everyone on Oahu. With daily nonstop flights from Vancouver and Bellingham, there is no time like the present to visit Oahu.

TIPS TO PROTECT YOUR LOCAL CREEKS AND STREAMS

During the next few months there is going to be a lot of rain. After it falls rain goes, untreated, down the storm drain straight to streams and creeks taking harmful chemicals and pollutants with it. Everyone needs to do their part to help protect the local streams and creeks because salmon and trout need a clean and healthy habitat. By taking preventative measures and making environmentally wise choices you can prevent pollution from reaching local streams and creeks.

FISH TIPS

The rain washes dirt and oil from driveways down the storm drain, so make sure when you clean your driveway that you direct all dirt and water onto your grass as it acts as a natural filter.

If you see a storm drain covered with debris, take a second and clear it off. This will prevent flooding and keep the debris from going down the storm drain which can affect fish habitat.

arts & entertainment …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Lucy Wang, Kierah Raymond highlight upcoming concert at Mount Olive Lutheran Church

Strings to perform ‘A Little Night Music’ Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

he Semiahmoo Strings routinely accomplishes the impossible – particularly in light of the musicians’ youth and relative inexperience – last year’s sterling and convincing performance of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony being just one case in point. Not content with setting the bar that high, the White Rock-based ensemble is exploring the outer reaches of the improbable with a new concert that, in terms of scope, maturity and sheer variety, almost beggars the imagination. The surprise – especially for those who have never heard the orchestra – is that much of the concert is made up of material already in the repertoire of the ambitious teens and tweens. A Little Night Music (Friday, Jan 20, 7:30 p.m., Mount Olive Lutheran Church, 2350 148 St.) translates the title of Mozart’s celebrated and sublime Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, also the first item on the program. It’s a disarmingly modest catchall for a concert that spans eras and genres at will. Selections range from a brief Beethoven miniature by the organization’s young feeder group, the Demi-Semiahmoo Strings, and full ensemble performances of pieces Liszt and Saint-Saens, to excerpts from The Planets by early 20th century British composer Holst, the challenging eclecticism and modernity of Leonard Bernstein’s Divertimento for Orchestra – even a suite of Celtic fiddle tunes. Semiahmoo Strings conductor Carla Birston and her husband, cellist, arranger and composer Harold Birston laughed when it was suggested a better title might be A Little of Everything. The concert actually represents a scaling back of their original intentions, they admit. “It was supposed to be a program of divertimenti and serenades but it was too much – the pieces weren’t all working together,” Carla said. Not the least of the attractions of the revised program is that it also provides solo showcases for the ensemble’s two concert masters, Kierah Raymond and Lucy Wang. “They’re two of the most confident kids, but without any hint of obnoxiousness,” Carla said. “They’re so generous and so supportive of each other.” Raymond, 16, will reprise the Intercontinental Fiddle Suite, arranged

and the Seattle Young Artists Competition, and she will also be auditioning for a spot in the National Arts Centre summer program. “She loves it,” Carla said. “She’s very focused but she loves every minute of it.” She’s also – like many of the students – hungry for new repertoire. “I give her something that is intended to be a year-long project, and she comes the next week with it memorized – not perfectly, perhaps, but she has it. She plays music that is years beyond her age; repertoire that I never thought I’d be teaching.” The Hungarian Rhapsody – arranged for the ensemble by Harold – is “wonderful; a real barn-burner,” Carla said. “And there’s been no simplification applied to that arrangement at all,” Harold noted. “If they’re not challenged, their eyes will start to glaze over,” Carla said.

South End Summit on Saturday

Big bands to take stage Alex Browne Arts Reporter

There’s nothing quite like the sound of a big band – even electronic acts with stacks of speakers can’t quite equal the synergy of 17 or more musicians working together at full momentum. Big band fans have a special treat in store this Saturday (Jan. 14) when South Surrey’s award-winning senior high school bands will team up for South End Summit 2, presented by Semiahmoo Arts, at the Wheelhouse Theatre, Earl Marriott Secondary, 15751 16 Ave. The Marriott band, led by Rodger Owens; the Elgin Park band, led by Rob Leeder and the Semiahmoo Secondary band, led by Dave Fullerton, will demonstrate not only the classic big band swing style that developed in the ‘30s and ‘40s, but also the state of the art today – with material as up to date as big band transcriptions of Radiohead songs. This writer will

have the pleasure of introducing the bands and the evening’s special guest soloist, professional jazz trumpeter, bandleader and ethnomusicologist Malcolm Aiken. “We thought it would be kind of fun to have work in with all the bands, so we’re going to have a jam session before the show in the lobby/cafeteria area, which will give him a chance to sit on some things,” said Fullerton, who notes that the show provides an opportunity for the young musicians of all three schools to get together and share ideas – and a love of big band jazz – in a non-competitive environment. “All three of the directors are friends,” he said. “Rodger and I go back a long way; Rob played for several years in a community jazz band I led and his daughter is in my band now.” Tickets ($20, $15 for students, seniors and Semiahmoo Arts members) are available from Tapestry Music, or by calling 604-536-8333.

I am the trustee of my deceased parent’s will which provides that I am to hold $300,000 in trust for my disabled older brother and to pay sums from the trust fund to him for his comfort and care. When my brother dies, whatever funds are left over go to me. I think he gets enough money from the government for all his needs and I haven’t paid him anything for several years. He has difÀculty understanding anything complicated and appears to me to be content. However, my sister has emailed me and asked that I provide funds to him for extras, such as bus trips, training that might make him more able to cope with everyday matters and all sorts of other unnecessary items. I told her that it is none of her business and to get lost because there is nothing she can do about it I’m right aren’t I?

You have an obligation to be even-handed between paying your brother funds that could help him enjoy life more, and your own Ànancial interest in maximizing the amount you get when your older brother dies. Your sister can apply to Court to remove you as trustee and be appointed trustee herself. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Adam Morrison aiming to end his junior-hockey career with a championship

‘All I’m worried about is winning’ Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

ith less than half a season left in his junior hockey career, Vancouver Giants’ goaltender Adam Morrison is focused on one thing and one thing only: a championship. Which says something of his focus, considering how many other things could creep into his mind and cloud his concentration. For starters, the 20-year-old White Rock native is back playing on home ice for the first time since he left the Semiahmoo Minor Hockey Association for the Western Hockey League’s Saskatoon Blades – he was traded to Vancouver in October – and playing just a few kilometres up the road Adam Morrison from family and Vancouver Giants friends brings its own pressures and potential distractions. And then, of course, there is the issue of his hockey-playing future. A former third-round draft pick of the Philadelphia Flyers in 2009, Morrison was not offered a contract by the NHL team by last spring’s deadline, thus making him a free agent with a wide open – or uncertain, depending on your point of view – future ahead of him. But Morrison insists he’s not thinking about any of it. Spend a few minutes talking to him and it’s awfully hard not to believe him. “I’m not worried about where I might be playing next year, or what’s going to happen, or any of that,” he said. “All I’m worried about is winning a championship with this team.” He doesn’t spent much time dwelling on the past either. Morrison began his WHL career

Vancouver Giants goaltender Adam Morrison makes a save against Portland Winterhawks’ Taylor Peters during a Jan. 7 game at Pacific Coliseum. with the Saskatoon Blades as a 17 year old, but never got the chance to become a bonafide No. 1 goalie; he never played more than 36 games in a given season. Last season was perhaps the toughest. He missed more than a month with mononucleosis, and upon his return was relegated to a backup role. He didn’t play in the playoffs, and then in June was let go by the Flyers. He admits that looking back does occasionally give him a little spark. “The last couple years have

been a little rocky, so for sure, it’s motivation, but not in a ‘I want to get back at them’ kind of way,” he said. “Mostly, I’m just disappointed that I didn’t get the opportunity to prove I was worthy of a contract (from Philadelphia). “I don’t really think about what has happened in the past, or what might’ve gone wrong. All I’m worried about is… doing everything possible to improve my own game.” He’s certainly made the most of the opportunity to be a starting

goaltender since arriving in Vancouver. He’s already played 33 games for the G-Men, and sports a 23-7-1-1 record with a 2.37 goals-against average and a save percentage of .913. And he’s helped Vancouver get within striking distance of the Kamloops Blazers, who are currently in top spot in the WHL’s B.C. Division. “We’re starting to believe in ourselves now, and believe that we’re a team that can come in and steal a championship,” Morrison

said. In addition to his success this season, Morrison said the chance to do it so close to home has been an added bonus. “This is the team I grew up watching, so getting the chance to play with your hometown team is a dream come true. “But really, I’ve had so many great memories playing in this league. It’s one thing to get to play a year or two here, but to play four or five seasons, to me is very gratifying.”

Asking price was too high: Erhart

Eagles make no moves at BCHL trade deadline Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Despite fielding plenty of phone calls, and staking out his computer and fax machine until late evening “just in case” something came up, Surrey Eagles coach Matt Erhart stood pat Tuesday as the trade deadline came and went. “We didn’t make any moves. I made a lot of calls, but at the end of the day, the asking price was just too high,” said Erhart, who is also the team’s general manager. “Any of the players we asked about, the other team always wanted one or two of our young players, and we really like our young guys, and weren’t willing to give up two guys

with a future for one older player.” Erhart did not get into specifics about which young players were most sought-after by other clubs, but said he wasn’t about to trade the team’s “World Junior ‘A’ Challenge guys,” – referring to forwards Brandon Morley and Michael Stenerson. Under Erhart, the Eagles haven’t traditionally been a big player at the Jan. 10 deadline – Surrey made no deadline moves last season, either – instead choosing to make roster decisions before Christmas. Since Nov. 30, the Eagles have added forwards Alex Hagen, Brayden Jaw and Trevor Cameron. “We aren’t typically a team that makes a lot

of deadline moves, and we don’t do a lot of trades with other leagues, either,” Erhart said. The Eagles weren’t the only contending team to let the deadline pass without a major move; conference rivals Cowichan Valley and Coquitlam also did little Tuesday. “I think most of us – Coquitlam and Cowichan, too – made our decisions earlier,” Erhart said, adding that only one team, the Victoria Grizzlies, really tore their team apart. The Grizzlies, 10 points back of the Eagles in the BCHL Coastal Conference, traded away nearly all their top players for prospects and future considerations. “Nobody else in our (conference) did much either, which is good,” Erhart said. “It means

that the conference is still up for grabs.” Erhart did make one addition in the last week, picking up 18-year-old defenceman Eric Chevrier, an Ontario native who recently left the University of New Hampshire without playing a game. Chevrier, a friend of Eagles’ forward Sean McGovern, was supposed to join the Birds in the off-season, but UNH instead asked him to come to college a year earlier than planned. “It didn’t really work out for him there, so he left just before Christmas,” said Erhart. “We’re happy to have him.” To make room for Chevrier on the roster, the team released seldom-used fourth-liner Brandon Scholten.

Three South Surrey teams advanced into the second round of the Surrey RCMP Basketball Classic after winning opening games Tuesday afternoon. Playing at Southridge School, the White Rock Christian Academy Warriors beat Queen Elizabeth 81-42, while Southridge defeated L.A. Matheson 71-53 and Elgin Park edged Clayton Heights 56-52. The fourth South Surrey school in the tourney’s main draw, Earl Marriott, lost Tuesday 64-34 to Cloverdale’s Lord Tweedsmuir. In Pool B – for teams ousted from contention after Sunday’s preliminary round – Semiahmoo beat Sullivan Heights 83-63. For WRCA, who played Princess Margaret Wednesday after press deadline, the first-round victory was a chance for every player to get into the game; all but one of the team’s 12 players scored at least one point. Jake Newman led the team with 15 points, Vartan Tanielian had 12 and Peter Spangehl chipped in with 10. Jon Pelling was named the player of the game after a nine-point performance. “Jon had a very good game.

JANUARY 12/2012

Elements showcases sacred geometry design strategy

Langley condos provide sacred decor A lot of thought goes into the design of a home development, but one condo project in Langley has taken it to the next level. Elements, from Sandhill Development, has adopted the concept of sacred geometry, which assigns meaning and significance to shapes and proportions found in nature, as a guiding principle behind its interior design. Sacred geometry has been used to plan religious buildings for thousands of years. It takes natural shapes – like hexagons and curves – and brings them into structures. Danielle Lareau, principal designer at Vancouver’s Giraffe Design, took charge at Elements, using curves, lines and colours to mirror the natural world. This is most obvious in the lobbies of the three residential buildings at Elements, each

with their own theme: gold, silver and bronze. The gold lobby is symbolized by a circle with a curved star inside, a shape prominent in the floor tile and repeated in the wall pattern and even on the ceiling. Lareau says these circular shapes represent femininity, while the more linear silver lobby evokes the masculine side of the equation. This space, symbolized by three wavy lines, is the opposite of the gold lobby. The silver building sustains the theme with its square wall decor and harder-edged seating. Lareau says the design at Elements is meant to balance both masculine and feminine aspects, bringing harmony to the space. “It’s known to affect our well being,” she says, “and that’s what people are looking for right now.”

‘A more appealing sense of community’

Alexandra Gate hits regal note in Richmond by Kerry Vital

Buyers are sure to be lining up to take a look at Alexandra Gate, opening soon in a prime location in Richmond. Built specifically to be a groundoriented development, buyers at Alexandra Gate will feel an immediate sense of peace and safety as soon as they set foot on the property. “It’s set up to (have) a more pedestrian-friendly feel,” says Steveston Real Estate president Sean Lawson. “It makes for a more appealing sense of community.” The 193 homes are split into a mix of sleek two-storey city homes and stylish urban condominiums. The city homes provide the bottom two levels of the four-storey buildings, while the condos fill the upper floors. Thus, city home buyers will have their own private double garage and front door access.

“

It is purposefully the most affordable thing out there,” says Steveston Real Estate president Sean Lawson.

steel appliances. Sophisticated fauxwood grain cabinets are complemented by a ceramic tile backsplash and an undermount double-bowl sink perfect for all your food preparation needs. If you’re in need of a quiet oasis, the bathrooms at Alexandra Gate are the perfect place. Outfitted with a large soaker tub with a full-height ceramic tile shower surround and elegant inlaid trim, the bathrooms are made for a bubble bath with a good book. Stone-look laminate countertops and backsplash, together with a large mirror and light bar, are beautiful touches. The grand opening will take place on Jan. 21, but potential homeowners who have pre-registered will be given the chance to see the homes on Jan. 19 and 20, Lawson says. “It’s a good idea to register online,” he says. “You will get the original pricing and the best selection.” Pricing was especially important to Steveston Real Estate, Lawson says. With Richmond becoming one of the most expensive real estate markets,

young buyers aren’t always able to find something within their price range. This isn’t true at Alexandra Gate. “It is purposefully the most affordable thing out there,” Lawson says, adding that the units are definitely appealing to younger buyers. “They must be able to afford it,” he says. “We developed it with that in mind.” Homeowners at Alexandra Gate will be able to take advantage of a private

full-service gym, movie theatre with a big-screen TV, large daycare facility and a private common garden, among other amenities. The development is just one kilometre from Aberdeen Centre and its SkyTrain station, and close to several other Richmond shopping centres, recreation facilities and dining. Condo homes start at $188,800, and city homes start at $388,800. To preregister, visit www.cambieliving.com/ alexandragate or call 604-279-8866.

The entire feel of the development is extremely calm, since only half of the homes use the lobby and elevator. This means there will be less congestion at peak times. There is no shortage of amazing features inside either, including nine-foot ceilings in most homes. The kitchens are particularly spectacular, with granite countertops and stainless-

Howard Havies May 15, 1923 - Dec. 3, 2011 Our dear Howard passed away peacefully on Dec. 3, 2011. He is survived by his loving wife Penny (Olive) of 63 years. He will be greatly missed by his sister-in-law Vivian Chadwick, brother-in-law Bill Case (Beverly) and many nieces and nephews and close friends. Howard was a 50-year member of the Joppa Masonic Lodge and a 57-year member of the Royal Canadian Legion #240 where he was honoured with a life membership on May 3, 2008. Howard was born in Vancouver and attended Van Horne and Vancouver Technical Schools. He was a W.W.II Veteran in the Army and a small arms instructor at Currie Barracks in Calgary. Over the years after the war he worked at Vivian Diesel, Canadian Kenworth and ColumbiaTrailers, selling large trucks and logging equipment etc. His greatest joy after retirement was puttering around in his woodworking shop and making things for others and being the Mr. Fixit to many friends. Howard's wishes were for a simple family celebration of his life which was held on Dec. 10, 2011 at Victory Memorial Park. Our appreciation during his last 3 1/2 weeks to the very kind and caring staff at Morgan Place. Forever loved - Never forgotten.

February 17, 1925 January 8, 2012 Rita Barker (nee Mercier), daughter of Caroline and Pierre Mercier, passed away peacefully in the Peace Arch Hospice in White Rock, B.C. on January 8th, 2012 at the age of 86. Rita was born in Ponteix, Saskatchewan, the fourth of 11 siblings. Later, the family moved to Watson, Saskatchewan. After Ànishing her grade 12 in Montmartre, Saskatchewan, Rita went on to complete Nurses Training at the Grey Nuns’ Hospital in Regina from 1943 to 1946. After nursing in Spalding and Melville, Saskatchewan, and Edmonton, Alberta, her adventurous spirit took her and her sister, Annette, to France and England in 1950, where Rita met the love of her life, Ken (Kip) Barker. After working in London for three years, she returned to Canada and continued to nurse in Saskatchewan. Kip immigrated to Canada and they were married in Holy Rosary Cathedral in Regina on June 25th, 1955. They had four children, Michael (Barb) Barker of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Tim (Nancy) Barker of Surrey, B.C., Vivian (Werner) Spangehl of Surrey, B.C., and Jean-Paul (Shirley) Barker of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Rita and Kip raised their family in Regina, before moving to Saskatoon. After Kip retired in 1988, they moved to Kelowna, then Surrey, then to Vancouver Island, and Ànally settled happily in their present home in Surrey. Rita was the proud grandmother of 19 wonderful grandchildren; Kari (Matt Maltais), Kelly (Penny), Daniel (deceased),Dylan, Jesse, Casey, and Jina Barker, Riley, Carly, and Corey Barker, Tori, Madeline, and Peter Spangehl, Marie, Jonathan, Joseph, Emily, Rachel and Hannah Barker. She was the proud great grandmother of Blake and Troy, children of Kari and Matt Maltais. Rita is survived by three of her ten siblings, Joseph (Betty) Mercier, Pauline (Michael) Skinner, and Celine (Larry) McMahon, and predeceased by six sisters and one brother. Rita was a devoted and loving wife, mother and grandmother, whose strong faith and active church membership, steady character, athletic prowess and resilient prairie spirit will live on in her growing family. She was a compassionate nurse, a gifted artist, a loyal friend, and had the great joy of being married to the man of her dreams for over 56 years. She will be greatly missed by family and friends. The family wishes to thank the Peace Arch Hospital doctors and nurses for the loving care provided to Rita in her Ànal weeks. A funeral mass will be held at Good Shepherd Church, 2250150th Street, Surrey B.C. on Friday, January 13th at 1:30pm, with a reception to follow at the church. In lieu of Áowers, you are encouraged to make a donation to the charity of your choice.

Health,Mind & Body Stay on track for a healthy, happy year For many, the start of a new year means the start of a new diet and exercise regime. However, for some, the excitement and dedication to staying fit and healthy soon fades as other things take over. By midFebruary, it’s back to quick, convenient meals that lack the nutrients our bodies desperately require. But as the obesity rate creeps up nationally and provincially, it is clear that something needs to be done. From simply adding nutritious supplements to a meal you were going to eat or spending an extra 20 minutes a day preparing a fresh meal, the benefits to prioritizing your health far outweigh any perceived inconvenience. And for those who associate exercise with running and lifting weights, think again. There are many ways to incorporate fitness in your life without stepping on a treadmill. Dancing has become more and more popular as a fun way to burn calories, make friends and get the heart rate up. Whether it be Zumba or salsa, dancing uses all the muscles in your body and it won’t even feel like you’re working out. So this year, keep your resolution to live happy and healthy – your body will thank you later.

There are many ways to get fit in the White Rock South Surrey area, including dance. Studio,15151 Russell Ave., says he sees that transition into “the zone” as soon as people step into the studio. “The moment people come in and hear the music they get excited,” O’Kane said. “They call it their happy place, it’s very therapeutic.” O’Kane says that the classes provide a welcoming atmosphere, as they are designed for people to easily transition. The key part, he says, to getting into the groove of dancing is by moving see page B3

The Seven Whys of Wet Cleaning: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

For those who find the treadmill boring, there are many other options to get the heart rate up. Dancing is becoming more and more popular as a means to get exercise because it incorporates an activity many people enjoy already. Brian Udal, owner of Roca Blanca Dance, 971 164 St., has seen firsthand how beneficial dance can be for the body, not only for exercise, but for recovery, as well. “I have had several students who have been in car accidents that were recommended to take lessons and it had a great effect on their co-ordination,” Udal said. There are so many benefits to dancing that people of all ages are recommended to try incorporating it into their daily routine. Although it can be daunting for some to take the step forward and dance in front of other people, the challenge is another positive aspect. “It’s not easy for a beginner to connect all the dots but it is interesting and challenging,” Udal said. “You can see that the brain and body have to work together. This is why science, doctors and physiotherapists recommend dancing, because it challenges you.” And it’s not just about the benefits for the body, Udal said. There are many benefits for the soul. “The love of music and being in that heart place – that is what some people call ‘the zone,’” he said. “For three minutes your whole being forgets about everything. Now your mind and body have no aches or pain.” Grant O’Kane at Arthur Murray Dance

Benefits of dancing for exercise are not just for the body from page B2 and loosening up the joints that haven’t been used for a long time. Another added benefit to dancing is the improvement in posture, which can occur inherently from dancing with a partner, O’Kane said. “Because you’re dancing with someone else, you end up standing straighter to not invade their space,” he said. And by straightening up the spine and improving posture, there is an improvement on the core muscles, which help create a more toned mid-section – to go with the rest of the newly acquired muscles dancers achieve. “You can get a more toned tummy, butt and hamstrings, especially with the Latin dances,” O’Kane said. Latin dances require a lot of controlled twisting, he said, which tones up the core and engages all your muscles. But even though there is a lot of movement required for dancing, it is a lowimpact exercise, O’Kane said. While many focus on the physical benefits, dancing can also boost confidence, making people more sociable. “Dancing can change people’s lives,” he said. And dancing is not the only fun way to keep fit. Over at Sandcastle Fitness, 1938 152 St., instructors are offering classes specifically for seniors.

The classes, appropriately coined Young at Heart, include fitness and yoga and are designed with seniors in mind, with movements to alleviate joint problems and keep the heart healthy, says general manager Natalie Dunnill. “Our seniors have a lifestyle that is more active than it was a few years ago,” she said. “It’s important to keep fit and healthy at any age.” And while fitness is a great way to keep busy, it is also a way to make friends. According to Dunnill, the social connections made during the classes often extend outside of the gym. “They are happy and they feel good because they are doing things together,” she said. “They can make friends, and often people who are a bit shy come out of their shells and see it’s not all about being the most fit, it’s about having fun. It’s extremely warm and welcoming.” And there is a dance option for those who are young at heart. At Sandcastle there are Zumba classes for those looking to switch up their fitness routine. The Latin-inspired fitness program incorporates dance into the workout to make it more fun to burn calories. Young at Heart classes are on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 11 a.m. and Zumba classes are available Tuesday mornings at 11 a.m. and Wednesdays at 6 p.m.

There is no quick fix to becoming healthy, much to the disappointment of many. That said, there are ways to incorporate healthy choices into our everyday regime. And as Jason Antony, co-owner of Antony and Sons, 202 14016 32 Ave., reminds us, the benefits of making healthy eating a priority will be beneficial in the long run. “Most people are going to be fine eating junk and then they hit a wall, and they won’t be fine. Then they will have to go back and correct years of damage,” Antony said. “If you own a house, and it’s fine and looks good and you notice the paints chipping, well, peeling behind that paint could lead to the discovery of rot, and the same thing can happen with the body.”

Antony suggests buying fresh ingredients and making meals as opposed to eating out regularly. By making batches of food for the week and storing them, not only will there be a difference in energy, health and nutrition, but there will also be a difference in cost. “People who take their family to a fastfood restaurant can spend $50 easily, but for half that amount you have an organic chicken dinner,” Antony said. “The best things for us are not quick and easy. Eating healthy is a lifestyle shift, and you have to prioritize food differently.” For those who do buy packaged goods, Antony says a good rule of thumb is to look at the ingredients list and be wary of long lists with chemicals and preservatives. “You should be able to understand the list, it shouldn’t be long and complicated,” he said. For people who are looking to add some nutrients to their food, Kimber Bradbury, owner of Health Express, 1550 Johnston Rd., suggests adding shelled hemp seeds as a source of vegetarian protein. Starting off with a low dose of the seeds – about a tablespoon – and incorporating them into porridge, oatmeal or salad adds a good balance of carbohydrates, omega-3 and omega-6, and fibre. Bradbury also suggests protein powders for breakfast shakes. Her top pick is whey protein, which is a highly-filtered milk product and she orders her product in from New Zealand to ensure high-quality. “Having them come from New Zealand means there are no hormones, no anti see page B5

Over at SureSlim in South Surrey, 102 15141 56 Ave., owner Helen Janos says not only will eating nutritious foods keep you healthy, eating the right kinds of food could speed up your metabolism. Although there is no one-size-fits-all solution, by feeding our bodies correctly, eating nutritional foods and eating the right amount and combination of food are some basic guidelines, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most important thing people need to understand is that metabolism stands for using food as fuel for energy,â&#x20AC;? Janos

said. At SureSlim, the consultants design a plan using normal grocery store foods and can help with figuring out the combination needed to use food as fuel, rather than storage. One general rule that Janos has is to eat breakfast. By eating something bright and early, you can help speed up the metabolism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By the time you eat lunch, your body is in storage mode and it is storing itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fat, so whatever foods you eat turn into fat instead of being converted into energy,â&#x20AC;? she said. There are many important factors to nutrition and metabolism, Janos said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to be aware,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Regardless of what season it is, skin seems to bear the brunt of weather’s wrath. Whether it’s the sun beating down in the dog days of summer or the wind whipping around and causing skin to crack when the weather starts to turn cold, skin is never fully safe from the elements. Each season poses its own unique challenges to skin, and this year figures to be no different. It’s important for men and women to practice proper skin care in an effort to protect themselves from dry skin, which can be irritating and unsightly. Though an extra layer of clothing might

hide dry, flaky skin from view, it won’t do much to relieve the irritation and damage that result from severely dry skin. You can help combat dry skin by taking quick, temperate showers. It might feel good to get in from the cold and take a hot bath or shower, but this actually breaks down lipid barriers in the skin, potentially robbing the skin of moisture. In lieu of a long, steamy bath or shower, take a quick shower in warm water. Another tool at your disposal is a proper cleanser and moisturizer. Nikki Riederer, a skin care consultant at Saunte Health, see page B7

Sunscreen prevents wrinkles from page B6 109 15388 24 Ave., says it is of the utmost importance to keep skin moisturized. By letting skin dry out too much, it can overproduce oil and result into breakouts, she said. At Saunte, they offer a soap peel with hyaluronic acid – which can pull 1000 times its weight in water – which rehydrates and takes off dead, dry winter skin. She warns against using over-the-counter products, including rough exfoliating scrubs that can actually end up damaging the skin. Caree Ludwar, owner of Institute New Beauty,112 1656 Martin Dr., also warns against going to the drugstore for skin care needs because there could be a cleanser that does not have the right amount of pH which can lead to dry, flaky skin. At Institute New Beauty, Ludwar offers an oxygen facial which “automatically rehydrates skin” and gives cellular support to the skin. She also reminds her clients that the cheapest anti-wrinkle cream can be found in sunscreen. Look for creams that contain water and glycerin that will help to draw moisture into the skin and stimulate the body’s natural repair process. Moisturizers that are non-greasy, non-oil based and fragrance free tend to work the best to repair dry skin. Oil-based creams will actually repel water that would otherwise hydrate the skin causing further damage. Men and women should also make moisturizing a part of their nightly routine before going to bed. Skin temperatures rise during sleep, resulting in increased circulation and healing, so be sure to moisturize each night before going to

bed. And skin solutions are not always found in a jar. By wearing a winter wardrobe like gloves, scarves and thick socks you will not only keep warm through the winter, you will also keep skin safe. Strong winter winds and below freezing temperatures can damage the skin significantly, so bundle up when going outdoors. And be sure to avoid wet socks and gloves, which can irritate the skin and cause itching and cracking, and might even result in the formation of sores. Staying hydrated is another skin care pointer people primarily, and incorrectly, associate with summer. But staying hydrated is just as important in the winter as it is during the summer. Staying hydrated is important for overall health. Men and women who enjoy caffeinated beverages like coffee and soda should know that caffeine is a diuretic that draws water out of the skin. So be sure to counter caffeine consumption by drinking plenty of water.
