NEWTON — One environmentally conscious family is disputing the City of Surrey’s garbage collection rates for homes with secondary suites, saying the fees don’t reflect the usage for homes that produce less waste.

Over the last six months, Jennifer Holloway has had a back-and-forth with the city over its secondary suite garbage collection fee. It started when the Holloways received a letter from the city noting that they would be charged $141 per year for increased waste services on top of the standard garbage rate of $281 for homes without suites.

That $141 entitles the Holloways to an optional upgrade to a 360-litre garbage bin, but Holloway said they don’t want one – they are avid recyclers and composters, and they hardly fill their current 240-litre bin halfway every two weeks.

So if they don’t produce more waste, why are they shelling out $141 annually for more waste services?

“We’re asking, ‘What are we paying for?’” said Holloway. “For no service being provided, they expect home owners to just hand over money to them. We have a little bit of an issue with that.” see TRASH DISPUTE › page 3

WHALLEY — Parents of students at Surrey Traditional School are crying false advertising after their school began operating split classes last week, despite being told it wouldn’t.

According to parents who protested outside of the district’s offices Thursday, Surrey Traditional has long been described as a school that offers no split division classes as well as modest class sizes with no more than 20 students per class.

They say the school has operated as such for years, a claim they feel is backed up by the district’s own description of the school as posted online and in newsletters.

However, when two teachers were cut earlier this month after the first week of school and two split classes formed, parents are wondering why the district seems to suddenly be changing its stance.

The language in question read: “At our school there are no ‘split’, ‘blended’ or ‘combined’ divisions. There are two classes per intermediate grades (4 – 7).

Our kindergarten and grade one and three levels currently have three classes and all our primary grade levels will be expanded to three classes in coming years and be capped at a maximum of 20 students in each class.” see POSTING › page 3

Parents and children protest at Surrey school district headquarters Thursday. The school district says it was a mistake they were told Surrey Traditional School would have small classes sizes and no split classes.

Posting was error, says school district ‹ from page 1

“This is the only traditional school that has these standards,” said parent Stephanie Campbell.

“We were not informed of this change, it came up suddenly and it is against our school’s policy.

This was on our registration form when we signed our kids up for this school.”

But district spokesperson Doug Strachan said the notices claiming the school would run small classes and no splits was a mistake, and that the language actually contradicts district policy.

“I am aware that there was information posted on the website that wasn’t consistent with district guidelines and policy,” he said. “We have always had combined classes as an option for all schools and it goes back many years. The information posted was by somebody who was misinformed or did not verify what they were posting.”

The description proclaiming no split classes and a 20-student class limit has since been removed from the district’s website.

Previously it was left up with a disclaimer, to acknowledge that the district had made a mistake.

“We want to be clear that we understand that information was posted in error and (we left) it there with a qualifier to show we understand where this confusion comes from and we’re not just trying to yank it down and pretend it wasn’t there,” said Strachan.

Strachan also said that the district would not be able to change the school’s policy, as all Surrey schools are subject to the same guidelines and showing preferential treatment to one school would not be possible.

As for Surrey Traditional and the reduction of teachers that led to the split classes, Strachan said that was due to not enough students enrolled in each grade to warrant a full class each – a reason parents aren’t buying.

“You can talk about what a split class is, how this decision was brought up, but the point is, this is what we took into consideration before registering our kids and that was a fact, and now you’re taking that away,” said PAC member Jenine Dorfer.

Some parents, like Yogi Bhatia, have made sacrifices to ensure their children could attend a school they thought would be offering smaller classes and no splits.

“My daughter was in a split class in Vancouver and was having a lot of difficulty, so my family came to Surrey, I bought a house here just because of this school,” he said.

“I moved my whole family from Vancouver to here just to get a spot in this traditional school... and now this.”

Lisa Garner, president of the school’s PAC said she is hopeful after PAC met with district president Mike McKay. “They’re going to find out if they are in fact liable for what was posted on their website,” said Garner. “I don’t know if I’m optimistic anything is going to change today, but who knows?

Garner also wanted to know how this “misinformation” was circulated for so long without anyone at the district taking notice.

“We wondered then, who is responsible for managing the people?” she said, noting that the district isn’t sure who posted it.

“Is anybody managing them? It’s been on the website for years, so are you going to honour what we registered our children for?”

The issue is set to be addressed at the next school board meeting on Thursday, Sept. 19. cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

A recent survey suggests Delta residents are pretty much smitten with their community and local government.

Ipsos Reid does a Citizen Satisfaction Survey for the Corporation of Delta every three years. This year, 300 residents 18 and older were phoned at random between May 16 and June 9.

The survey’s results are considered accurate to plus or minus 5.7 per cent, 19 times out of 20. The poll cost Delta $10,700.

According to results, 44 per cent of respondents identified transportation as the top issue in the municipality, mainly related to traffic congestion.

In 2010, it was 31 per cent. This was followed by growth and development (35 per cent) and municipal government services (11 per cent).

The survey found Delta rates better received 93 per cent in that regard, and than other B.C. municipalities for public works 81 per cent. its relatively low crime rate, fewer As far as Delta’s finances are social and economic concerns and concerned, 83 per cent of the survey’s amenities such as parks and respondents rate the value community services. for taxes as “very good Ninety-nine per cent of or fairly good,” 43 per the 300 respondents rated cent would increase taxes their overall quality of life to enhance or maintain as good or very good, and service levels and 40 per 74 per cent said it has either cent would cut services to improved or stayed the same. maintain or reduce taxes.

Surrey businesses hear case for pipeline expansion Jacob Zinn

View image carousel with

SURREY — The president of Kinder Morgan Canada was in Surrey on Thursday to discuss how the company’s proposed pipeline expansion may affect communities within the Lower Mainland.

Ian Anderson gave the keynote speech at the Surrey Board of Trade’s seventh annual Environment and Business Awards, held at the Eaglequest Golf Course on 152nd Street.

Anderson elaborated on how the proposed Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion – announced in January of this year – would nearly triple the company’s crude oil exports to Asia, Washington State and throughout B.C. “The proposed expansion is really to increase capacity of the line today, which is 300,000 barrels a day up to 890,000 barrels today,” Anderson said.

He added local markets will drive some of the oil use, but noted that the majority of the product will be shipped out of Port Metro Vancouver.

091713

He also addressed concerns pertaining to Surrey and how it may impact the city’s communities. The pipeline currently runs across 1,150 kilometres from Edmonton to Burnaby, and the Ian Anderson proposed expansion would go through Surrey.

“We’re looking for other corridors, be they highway corridors, hydro corridors, rail corridors, in order to build a pipeline that’s more benign and less intrusive in your communities,” said Anderson, noting that the top concerns from residents include safety and response, environmental sensitivities and local benefits.

If the expansion is approved and built, Anderson said Kinder Morgan Canada would double what it pays in property taxes to the City of Surrey, as well as seek help on the project from local businesses.

House fire kills elderly couple

House party leads to stabbing

FLEETWOOD – An elderly man and woman, both in their 70s, passed away early Sunday after a “smoking material� lit a couch on fire in the top floor of their home.

Surrey firefighters were called to the home in the 9400block of 157th Street just before 3 a.m. Sunday morning.

Firefighters arrived to find the top floor of the house fully engulfed in flames. Neighbours alerted firefighters that residents were likely in the home.

Surrey deputy fire chief Karen Fry said the couple were pulled from the home and given medical attention, but both died as a result of injuries from the fire, “most probably of smoke inhalation.�

NEWTON – Two people were taken to hospital early Sunday morning after suffering injuries from a fight that broke out at a Newton house party.

Police were called to the 14100-block of 78th Avenue shortly after midnight on Sunday morning. Police believe people from neighbouring homes were involved in the fight. One man, who suffered lacerations from an unknown weapon, was arrested after being released from hospital. The second man was stabbed, and is also expected to survive his injuries.

RCMP continue to investigate and no charges had been laid by press time.

Y

es, your BC Hydro bill will soon become more expensive, and why shouldn’t it?

After all, most things in life become more expensive over time and why should your electricity costs be any different?

And yes, the B.C. government will continue to “take” money from BC Hydro, and why shouldn’t it?

After all, the government (i.e. you and I) owns the Crown Corporation so why shouldn’t it be able to dip into its bank account?

However, these questions mask the real problems facing BC Hydro and its customers. And many of those problems can be laid squarely at the feet of the

B.C. Liberal government.

The government has been kicking BC Hydro around like a political football for the past decade and as a result the corporation is showing a lot of dents and abrasions on its hide.

An internal document leaked to COPE 378, one of the unions at BC Hydro, suggests a rate hike of 26.4 per cent over the next two years is required to cover costs.

Those costs total about $1 billion. Here’s the breakdown: ❚ $515 million for capital spending, amortization and financing costs. ❚ $160 million for “rate smoothing,” which covers the rate increase that was supposed to occur last year. ❚ $135 million for contracts with independent power producers. ❚ $130 million to pay for deferred expenses. ❚ $65 million to cover interest and operating costs.

A closer look at those numbers shows at least half the total amount is attributable to policies of the B.C. Liberal government.

The makeup for a

cancelled rate increase on the eve of the provincial election, the requirement that BC Hydro buy power from IPPs when it didn’t need it (and at higherthan-market prices) and the deferring of expenses for years, plus the interest charged on all that can be traced back directly to the government.

As well, some critics claim at least part of BC Hydro’s massive capital spending plan is not needed, or has been adequately explained and defended by the corporation or the government. For example, the $1-billion smart meter installation program has never been scrutinized by the B.C. Utilities Commission because the B.C. Liberals ruled it was exempt from such scrutiny.

In fact, much of what BC Hydro has or hasn’t

done over the past decade has occurred without any external scrutiny and that partly explains why the mess the corporation is in today is so bad.

Problems flagged years ago (putting off paying for expenses, and signing more than $50 billion of dubious contracts with IPPs) have been allowed to mushroom in size and the result is the inevitable kick in the teeth to the ratepayer.

BC Hydro rates should have been allowed to increase gradually over a period of time, rather than all at once. Instead, political considerations have prevented that from occurring.

During the B.C. Liberal party leadership, the reporters participating in the televised leaders debate (I was one of them, along with Vaughn Palmer of the

Vancouver Sun and Justine Hunter of the Globe and Mail) deliberately chose hydro rates as one of the questions.

At that time, BC Hydro had already said it required a rate increase of more than 25 per cent, and all of the candidates dodged the question of whether they agreed it was inevitable hydro rates had to be increased (to be fair, the NDP also dodged the same question in the run-up to the election campaign).

And then with an election looming after that, the government again put off what had to be done because it didn’t want to rile a public it was courting for vote support.

But now the day of reckoning is at hand.

However, more political meddling will take place before the size of the actual

rate hike is arrived at.

That leaked document says BC Hydro’s financial problems can be answered by three ways: a rate increase, even more deferred expenses, or a small payment to the government.

I suspect the end result will be a combination of all three, or perhaps two (the government is likely loathe to take less money at a time when it’s desperately trying to balance its budget).

But the best thing would be to send the whole mess to the B.C. Utilities Commission to sort out.

The B.C. Liberals don’t like external scrutiny (hello cancelled fall legislature sitting) but in this case it might just save everyone some money.

Nobody hurt in explosion NEWTON – An explosion at a construction site on the southwest corner of 62nd Avenue and King George Boulevard Thursday morning rocked neighbouring houses and a gas station next door.

Fortunately, no one was injured.

“It shaked the store, everything. Me too,” said Surinder Mundi, clerk at the Fas Gas Plus station.

The explosion happened shortly after 8 a.m. Thursday, shattering the back window of an excavator on

site and damaging a couple houses nearby. WorkSafe BC is investigating.

Construction workers at the site, where a Husky gas station was once located, told the Now they were instructed not to speak with reporters.

Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said the fire is not considered suspicious.

Joe DeLuca, Surrey assistant fire chief of operations, said workers had been cutting into an old 10,000gallon underground fuel tank

when a shower of sparks caused the explosion. He said there must have been some ambient vapours.

“I heard the big kaboom,” said resident Angele Schunke. There was a vacuum, she said, “and then like a whoomph. I was just getting my dog ready for a walk so I think I’m lucky that the doors were already open, so none of the windows broke.

It definitely moved stuff around the house. Crazy, eh?” tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

The glitch has been fixed, but organizers are asking those who registered between that time to do so again.

“It’s really unfortunate that the system failed, and we’re very hopeful that all the amazing volunteers who had already signed up to participate will send us back in their information,” said Elizabeth Model, chair of Surrey Marathon Society.

MAIL IN, OR DROP OFF.

DELTA – Sylvia Bishop returned to council chambers last week, thanking residents for an outpouring of support following her husband’s recent death.

The first-term councillor took a leave of absence from council after her husband, Robert Brown, lost his battle with cancer Aug. 13.

Bishop took a moment during the Sept. 9 council meeting to thank residents for the outpouring of kind wishes and support she and her family received after Brown’s passing. She said she received countless emails and phone calls, as well as food, from residents.

“You have helped soften my family’s sorrow, and for that I thank you,” she said.

In early August, Bishop issued a statement to explain her absence from a July 29 regular council meeting.

She wrote that her husband had been admitted to the Irene Thomas Hospice in Ladner, an end-of-life care facility.

Brown had advanced stage melanoma, a type of skin cancer. Bishop said he was diagnosed in 2009 and had a successful operation.

Bishop said they decided to celebrate then and go on a cruise, and shared with the media a photo of the two of them on that cruise.

Unfortunately, Brown’s health took a turn for the worse and he passed away peacefully on Aug. 13 at the age of 59. He was a sales manager for steel companies and was an avid sports enthusiast, animal lover and family man.

“We have been together for 20 years – he was my best friend,” Bishop said last month.

“We travelled a lot and we enjoyed a lot of the same things – good food, good wine, good times – we were very happy in our home.”

‘Drop Zone’ thrills in wheelchair Events

Surrey’s Marco Pasqua raises cash by rappelling down office tower

Irish poetry showcased

SEE VIDEO OF MARCO PASQUA IN ACTION

Tom Zillich Now staff Twitter @tomzillich

Marco Pasqua was a “super hero” in his wheelchair during a fundraising event in Vancouver last week.

The Surrey resident, born with cerebral palsy, was among those who rappelled down a 20-storey building as part of the annual Drop Zone event in support of Easter Seals programs and services.

Together, the 87 daredevils raised more than $176,000 for the charitable cause.

Fellow Surreyite Ronda McLachlan collected $4,135 in donations, second among all Drop Zone participants.

Pasqua, 28, said he’s able to walk slightly, but chose to do the fundraising stunt in his wheelchair – for a second year in a row.

“That way, it’s more of a spectacle for those watching from below, seeing this guy in a chair saying, ‘Nothing is going to hold me back,’ and that’s the point,” Pasqua told the Now. “Something like this is about going outside your

comfort zone, and I actively seek out opportunities where I feel uncomfortable, because I know that I’m pushing myself in an area in which I wouldn’t otherwise go.”

The Surrey-raised Pasqua, who lives in the Guildford area, began seeking work as a motivational speaker with his own C.U.B.E. Principal company, or “Creatively Utilize your Best Energy,” four years ago, after he lost his job in the video game industry. In August, he won the Entrepreneur of the Year award from the Surreybased SEEDS organization (Self Employment & Entrepreneur Development Society).

Last Tuesday, Pasqua used his own arm strength to rappel down the AXA Place tower in about six minutes.

About 50 feet from the sidewalk, a tire on his chair snagged on a window sill.

“I was still strapped in, but I had to use my arm strength to push myself away from the building and pop my wheel off the ledge,” he said.

“It wouldn’t have been good if I flipped myself upsidedown, that’s for sure.”

The fall season of Irish Poetry Nights at Slainte by the Pier begins Wednesday, Sept. 18. The restaurant/bar in White Rock will showcase the poetry of Padraic Colum and Brendan Kennelly from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Similar events are held there on the third Wednesday of each month, at 15057 Marine Dr.

‘Purple Power’ at two places

Marco Pasqua of Surrey is guided to the ground in his wheelchair near the end of his Drop Zone fundraising stunt in Vancouver on Tuesday, Sept. 10.

Thursday is “Purple Power” day at a pair of places in White Rock.

Free coffee and cookies will be available at Medicine Shoppe pharmacy (#1221959 152nd St.) and also at Comfort Keepers (#141480 Foster St.) during events marking National Alzheimer’s Disease and Awareness Month, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at both sites.

“The purpose is to increase awareness of Alzheimer’s as well as do a fund drive to advance the care and research of the Alzheimer’s Society,” said Youla Thomas, an event organizer with Comfort Keepers, a provider of inhome senior care.

During September, people are encouraged to wear purple in support of the fight against the disease.

Tons of produce yet to pick at God’s Little Acre MORE PHOTOS

Amy Reid Now staff Twitter @amyreid87

CLOVERDALE – About 35,000 pounds of produce has been sent to local food banks and charities already this season from God’s Little Acre Farm, but there is still 100,000 to 200,000 pounds of vegetables yet to harvest.

After farm operator Jas Singh put a call out to the community to help pick the crop last month, nearly 600 people answered his call and volunteered.

Singh urges the community to keep helping to ensure the rest of the produce – which includes carrots, red potatoes, mixed squash and more – can make it to food banks’ shelves and ultimately in the mouths of those in need.

Singh began his project three years ago, growing 62,000 pounds of potatoes on three acres of land,

all donated to those in need. The project has grown to include 34 acres this year.

Next year, Singh has 60 acres to farm, thanks to people stepping up and offering their land. The project’s farms will grow to include a blueberry farm and land behind the Honeybee Centre on Fraser Highway.

Volunteer days are Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Call Singh at 604-375-1172 to volunteer.

There is another big project happening to help fill local food banks – the B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive, which started Sept. 9.

The Thanksgiving Food Drive, now in its fifth year, is a provincewide non-demoninational, community-oriented project.

Organizers hope to gather more than 350,000 pounds of food, all of which will stay in the community where it is gathered.

Donation bags are sent out and residents are encouraged to fill them with non-perishable food items. The main collection day will be on Sept. 21. with files from Carolyn Cooke

Volunteer Iksha Kumar loads zucchini on a trailer during a harvesting session at God’s Little Acre in South Surrey. The farm, run by Jas Singh, grows food that is then picked by volunteers and donated to local food banks to help feed the less fortunate. Even though many people have given their time to help bring in the vegetable crops, there is a lot more food ready to be picked this season. (Photo: KEVIN HILL)

High school football

Frank Hurt Hornets swarm into class AA Michael Booth Now staff Twitter @boothnow

Members of the Frank Hurt Hornets football team are still in high school, but they’ve already signed their first contract.

Representing your school is a privilege, and Hornets coach Duane Linnen, a U.S. Navy veteran, insists the Hornets must follow a strict code of conduct.

At the beginning of the season, each player signs a contract promising he will live up to the team’s standards of behaviour.

Under the terms of the contract each player must: ❚ Maintain a 70 per cent average in every class. ❚ Attend study hall every Monday. ❚ Respect themselves, the coaches, the managers, their teammates and their opponents. ❚ Attend all practises. If a player misses two practises in a week, he won’t play. ❚ Contribute to the team.

Injured players still attend practises and help out by setting up equipment and fetching water bottles.

“I have my rules and everybody has to abide by them,” Linnen said.

“I’m old school and I don’t care if you are the star player — if you break my rules, you don’t play in the next game. Discipline is

for

The Frank Hurt Hornets — including from left: Bash Sise-Odaa, Connor Barron, Chris Thornton and Josh Zivny — are eager to proved they belong at the class AA level. (Photo: KEVIN HILL) very important because these are teenaged boys. The kids respond well to the discipline and I find parents are really thankful for the team discipline rules because they can see a difference in the way the kids behave when they get home.”

The 2013 season is shaping up as a season of change for the Hornets.

After four years of wandering in the wilderness, the Hornets are

back where they belong among the ranks of class AA football teams.

In Frank Hurt’s last AA season (2009), the Hornets went winless and interest in the sport hit an all-time low. The following year, Frank Hurt dropped down to the weaker Tier 2 level where they won a championship.

Despite the banner campaign, the team still had trouble

attracting players and the Hornets remained in the lower division for another two seasons.

Last year the Hornets won another Tier 2 crown and this time, Linnen and his swarm determined they were ready to return to the AA ranks.

Linnen said rival coaches and armchair quarterbacks groused that the Hornets were sandbagging

in an effort to win championships against inferior competition. What those critics fail to grasp is the challenges faced by an inner city school in Surrey.

“What those people don’t understand is we don’t have a Grade 8 or a jayvee team so I never know what my numbers are going to be like each year,” Linnen said.

“If I knew I was going to have 35 kids guaranteed, then sure, I would have moved up. The problem is I don’t know — I just pray that I have 20 to 25 kids.

“I don’t believe in padding other teams’ stats with 15 kids who are getting killed every week. Kids aren’t going to join a team when that’s what they can expect every week and it’s also a safety issue.”

Instead, Linnen and rest of the coaching staff have worked for three years to build the team back up. Finding coaches available to attend practises after school is an ongoing challenge, but several former players have stepped up to help out.

Players are another issue. Good football players used to transfer to other schools to play the game and Linnen ended up relying on players to recruit their buddies to join the team. Now kids are transferring into Frank Hurt to play high school football.

Goalie shines but Surrey Eagles settle for weekend split The Surrey Eagles’ season is only four games old, but goaltender Vic Adamo has already absorbed more rubber than a wayward raccoon on King George Boulevard at rush hour.

In three starts this season,

Adamo has never faced less than 40 shots a game guarding the Eagles’ net.

Adamo posted a shutout of West Kelowna at the BCHL showcase a week ago and kept the momentum going last weekend when he

backstopped Surrey to a 5-4 overtime win Friday over Langley before falling 5-2 to Coquitlam Sunday at South Surrey Arena.

Against Coquitlam, Adamo held the Eagles in the game despite being outshot 40-25.

The Eagles trailed 3-2 with two minutes to play when Corey Mackie beat Adamo on a breakaway to seal Surrey’s fate.

Nicolas Pierog and Brett Mulcahy provided the Surrey goals.

The Eagles staged their home

opener Friday and sent their fans home happy when Jonah Renouf scored 3:08 into overtime to lift Surrey past the Rivermen.

Pierog, Mulcahy, Danton Heinen and Colton Mackie also scored for Surrey in the win.

relationship with the North Surrey Minor Football program has helped keep the Hornets stocked with experienced talent.

Now that they are back in class AA, the Hornets are enjoying some perks from the move. While competing in Tier 2, the team had to play all over the Lower Mainland, Sunshine Coast and, frequently, Vancouver Island. That meant several times each year Frank Hurt had to make a two-day trek to Campbell River and Victoria, a journey that included busses, ferries, food and lodging that ultimately cost upward of $2,000 per game.

As a member of the AA Southern Conference, road expenses have been trimmed noticeably. The Hornets have one game this year in Parksville and after that, the next longest road trip will be to Tsawwassen.

Best of all, the Hornets can now can build local rivalries. Frank Hurt will host Seaquam on Oct. 11 and play at Holy Cross on Nov. 2.

“Our biggest rivalry last year was in Squamish, but that’s a long way to go,” said lineman Connor Barron, who is now in his fourth season with the Hornets.

“Now we get to play teams like South Delta and Seaquam and Holy Cross — teams that are only a 10or 15-minute bus ride away.

“After three years of playing in Tier 2, I feel like we deserve this now. We’re excited as a team to be able to play these teams and prove that we belong in double A and are not just a development team that gets kicked around all the time.”

‘Viable? You bet we are’ Mayor Wayne Baldwin’s State of the City Address focuses on city’s successes

School’s reversal on split classes sparks protest District says notices claiming school would run small classes was a mistake Christopher Poon Now staff Twitter @questionchris

Christopher Poon Now staff Twitter @questionchris

WHITE ROCK — White Rock is economically viable and is in a good place financially.

That was the key message from Mayor Wayne Baldwin at his annual State of the City Address, held Thursday evening before a crowd of White Rock’s movers and shakers.

“It’s a question I hear often, is White Rock too small to exist on its own? Is it economically

viable?” he said during his speech. “Well, we’re not too small. In fact, out of 168 communities in the province, it is the 39th largest.”

Financially, Baldwin said the city is in excellent shape.

“I hear groans and moans about our finances, but we’re pretty darn good. We have no debt, our infrastructure is in good shape... we’re not in a panic about anything, so we’re doing very well.

Viable? You bet we are.” see BALDWIN › page 4

WHALLEY — Parents of students at Surrey Traditional School are crying false advertising after their school began operating split classes last week, despite being told it wouldn’t.

According to parents who protested outside of the district’s offices Thursday, Surrey Traditional has long been described as a school that offers no split division classes as well as modest class sizes with no more than 20 students per class.

They say the school has operated as such for years, a claim they feel is backed up by the district’s own description of the school as posted online and in newsletters.

However, when two teachers were cut earlier this month after the first week of school and two split classes formed, parents are wondering why the district seems to suddenly be changing its stance.

The language in question read: “At our school there are no ‘split’, ‘blended’ or ‘combined’ divisions. There are two classes per intermediate grades (4 – 7).

Our kindergarten and grade one and three levels currently have three classes and all our primary grade levels will be expanded to three classes in coming years and be capped at a maximum of 20 students in each class.” see POSTING › page 3

Parents and children protest at Surrey school district headquarters Thursday. The school district says it was a mistake they were told Surrey Traditional School would have small classes sizes and no split classes.

Posting was error, says school district ‹ from page 1

“This is the only traditional school that has these standards,” said parent Stephanie Campbell.

“We were not informed of this change, it came up suddenly and it is against our school’s policy.

This was on our registration form when we signed our kids up for this school.”

But district spokesperson Doug Strachan said the notices claiming the school would run small classes and no splits was a mistake, and that the language actually contradicts district policy.

“I am aware that there was information posted on the website that wasn’t consistent with district guidelines and policy,” he said. “We have always had combined classes as an option for all schools and it goes back many years. The information posted was by somebody who was misinformed or did not verify what they were posting.”

The description proclaiming no split classes and a 20-student class limit has since been removed from the district’s website.

Previously it was left up with a disclaimer, to acknowledge that the district had made a mistake.

“We want to be clear that we understand that information was posted in error and (we left) it there with a qualifier to show we understand where this confusion comes from and we’re not just trying to yank it down and pretend it wasn’t there,” said Strachan.

Strachan also said that the district would not be able to change the school’s policy, as all Surrey schools are subject to the same guidelines and showing preferential treatment to one school would not be possible.

As for Surrey Traditional and the reduction of teachers that led to the split classes, Strachan said that was due to not enough students enrolled in each grade to warrant a full class each – a reason parents aren’t buying.

“You can talk about what a split class is, how this decision was brought up, but the point is, this is what we took into consideration before registering our kids and that was a fact, and now you’re taking that away,” said PAC member Jenine Dorfer.

Some parents, like Yogi Bhatia, have made sacrifices to ensure their children could attend a school they thought would be offering smaller classes and no splits.

“My daughter was in a split class in Vancouver and was having a lot of difficulty, so my family came to Surrey, I bought a house here just because of this school,” he said.

“I moved my whole family from Vancouver to here just to get a spot in this traditional school... and now this.”

Lisa Garner, president of the school’s PAC said she is hopeful after PAC met with district president Mike McKay. “They’re going to find out if they are in fact liable for what was posted on their website,” said Garner. “I don’t know if I’m optimistic anything is going to change today, but who knows?

Garner also wanted to know how this “misinformation” was circulated for so long without anyone at the district taking notice.

“We wondered then, who is responsible for managing the people?” she said, noting that the district isn’t sure who posted it.

“Is anybody managing them? It’s been on the website for years, so are you going to honour what we registered our children for?”

The issue is set to be addressed at the next school board meeting on Thursday, Sept. 19. cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

“Always keeping our patients smiling”

Baldwin then described the city’s unique relationship with Surrey, specifically how many residents of South Surrey identify with White Rock as the community in which they spend the most time.

“One of the biggest advantages is that we’re surrounded on three sides by Surrey,” said Baldwin. “It may seem threatening, but it’s not.

Geographically, people in South Surrey orient themselves with White Rock, it just works that way. Many of you came here from South Surrey and that speaks volumes.”

Baldwin also touched upon some of the biggest priorities during his term as mayor, including densifying the town centre, enhancing the city’s waterfront and attracting new developments.

He also discussed the city’s pursuit to acquire the water utility from EPCOR, something that wasn’t originally on council’s long-term agenda but was made a priority when Fraser Health ordered the chlorination of White Rock’s water supply.

Mayor Wayne Baldwin delivers his State of the City Address Thursday in White Rock.

(Photo: JACOB ZINN Highlighting three points, Baldwin stated the city’s case for why it was now looking at taking ownership of the city’s water.

“EPCOR is not eligible for senior government grants, so they can’t get money from the province or the feds,” he explained. “Secondly, the rates they borrow at are higher than us. We get money pretty darn cheap through the municipal finance authority, so (with EPCOR) the cost for the taxpayer is higher than it needs to be.”

The third point was that, as EPCOR

was guaranteed a 10.5 per cent return on investment, the more money it puts into the project the more the company receives from taxpayers.

“So we think a case can be made in the financial interest for the city to own this facility and we’re working towards that case,” he said.

Baldwin concluded by saying he is focused on providing all citizens a high quality of life and ensuring community excellence through utilization of all of the city’s resources. cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

Surrey businesses hear case for pipeline expansion Jacob Zinn

View image carousel with

SURREY — The president of Kinder Morgan Canada was in Surrey on Thursday to discuss how the company’s proposed pipeline expansion may affect communities within the Lower Mainland.

Ian Anderson gave the keynote speech at the Surrey Board of Trade’s seventh annual Environment and Business Awards, held at the Eaglequest Golf Course on 152nd Street.

Anderson elaborated on how the proposed Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion – announced in January of this year – would nearly triple the company’s crude oil exports to Asia, Washington State and throughout B.C. “The proposed expansion is really to increase capacity of the line today, which is 300,000 barrels a day up to 890,000 barrels today,” Anderson said.

He added local markets will drive some of the oil use, but noted that the majority of the product will be shipped out of Port Metro Vancouver.

091713

He also addressed concerns pertaining to Surrey and how it may impact the city’s communities. The pipeline currently runs across 1,150 kilometres from Edmonton to Burnaby, and the Ian Anderson proposed expansion would go through Surrey.

“We’re looking for other corridors, be they highway corridors, hydro corridors, rail corridors, in order to build a pipeline that’s more benign and less intrusive in your communities,” said Anderson, noting that the top concerns from residents include safety and response, environmental sensitivities and local benefits.

If the expansion is approved and built, Anderson said Kinder Morgan Canada would double what it pays in property taxes to the City of Surrey, as well as seek help on the project from local businesses.

House fire kills elderly couple

House party leads to stabbing

FLEETWOOD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An elderly man and woman, both in their 70s, passed away early Sunday after a â&#x20AC;&#x153;smoking materialâ&#x20AC;? lit a couch on fire in the top floor of their home.

Surrey firefighters were called to the home in the 9400block of 157th Street just before 3 a.m. Sunday morning.

Firefighters arrived to find the top floor of the house fully engulfed in flames. Neighbours alerted firefighters that residents were likely in the home.

Surrey deputy fire chief Karen Fry said the couple were pulled from the home and given medical attention, but both died as a result of injuries from the fire, â&#x20AC;&#x153;most probably of smoke inhalation.â&#x20AC;?

NEWTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Two people were taken to hospital early Sunday morning after suffering injuries from a fight that broke out at a Newton house party.

Police were called to the 14100-block of 78th Avenue shortly after midnight on Sunday morning. Police believe people from neighbouring homes were involved in the fight. One man, who suffered lacerations from an unknown weapon, was arrested after being released from hospital. The second man was stabbed, and is also expected to survive his injuries.

RCMP continue to investigate and no charges had been laid by press time.

Day of reckoning is at hand for hydro InTheHouse Keith Baldrey

FOLLOW WITH

Y

es, your BC Hydro bill will soon become more expensive, and why shouldn’t it?

After all, most things in life become more expensive over time and why should your electricity costs be any different?

And yes, the B.C. government will continue to “take” money from BC Hydro, and why shouldn’t it?

After all, the government (i.e. you and I) owns the Crown Corporation so why shouldn’t it be able to dip into its bank account?

However, these questions mask the real problems facing BC Hydro and its customers. And many of those problems can be laid squarely at the feet of the

B.C. Liberal government.

The government has been kicking BC Hydro around like a political football for the past decade and as a result the corporation is showing a lot of dents and abrasions on its hide.

An internal document leaked to COPE 378, one of the unions at BC Hydro, suggests a rate hike of 26.4 per cent over the next two years is required to cover costs.

Those costs total about $1 billion. Here’s the breakdown: ❚ $515 million for capital spending, amortization and financing costs. ❚ $160 million for “rate smoothing,” which covers the rate increase that was supposed to occur last year. ❚ $135 million for contracts with independent power producers. ❚ $130 million to pay for deferred expenses. ❚ $65 million to cover interest and operating costs.

A closer look at those numbers shows at least half the total amount is attributable to policies of the B.C. Liberal government.

The makeup for a

cancelled rate increase on the eve of the provincial election, the requirement that BC Hydro buy power from IPPs when it didn’t need it (and at higherthan-market prices) and the deferring of expenses for years, plus the interest charged on all that can be traced back directly to the government.

As well, some critics claim at least part of BC Hydro’s massive capital spending plan is not needed, or has been adequately explained and defended by the corporation or the government. For example, the $1-billion smart meter installation program has never been scrutinized by the B.C. Utilities Commission because the B.C. Liberals ruled it was exempt from such scrutiny.

In fact, much of what BC Hydro has or hasn’t

done over the past decade has occurred without any external scrutiny and that partly explains why the mess the corporation is in today is so bad.

Problems flagged years ago (putting off paying for expenses, and signing more than $50 billion of dubious contracts with IPPs) have been allowed to mushroom in size and the result is the inevitable kick in the teeth to the ratepayer.

BC Hydro rates should have been allowed to increase gradually over a period of time, rather than all at once. Instead, political considerations have prevented that from occurring.

During the B.C. Liberal party leadership, the reporters participating in the televised leaders debate (I was one of them, along with Vaughn Palmer of the

Vancouver Sun and Justine Hunter of the Globe and Mail) deliberately chose hydro rates as one of the questions.

At that time, BC Hydro had already said it required a rate increase of more than 25 per cent, and all of the candidates dodged the question of whether they agreed it was inevitable hydro rates had to be increased (to be fair, the NDP also dodged the same question in the run-up to the election campaign).

And then with an election looming after that, the government again put off what had to be done because it didn’t want to rile a public it was courting for vote support.

But now the day of reckoning is at hand.

However, more political meddling will take place before the size of the actual

rate hike is arrived at.

That leaked document says BC Hydro’s financial problems can be answered by three ways: a rate increase, even more deferred expenses, or a small payment to the government.

I suspect the end result will be a combination of all three, or perhaps two (the government is likely loathe to take less money at a time when it’s desperately trying to balance its budget).

But the best thing would be to send the whole mess to the B.C. Utilities Commission to sort out.

The B.C. Liberals don’t like external scrutiny (hello cancelled fall legislature sitting) but in this case it might just save everyone some money.

Nobody hurt in explosion NEWTON – An explosion at a construction site on the southwest corner of 62nd Avenue and King George Boulevard Thursday morning rocked neighbouring houses and a gas station next door.

Fortunately, no one was injured.

“It shaked the store, everything. Me too,” said Surinder Mundi, clerk at the Fas Gas Plus station.

The explosion happened shortly after 8 a.m. Thursday, shattering the back window of an excavator on

site and damaging a couple houses nearby. WorkSafe BC is investigating.

Construction workers at the site, where a Husky gas station was once located, told the Now they were instructed not to speak with reporters.

Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said the fire is not considered suspicious.

Joe DeLuca, Surrey assistant fire chief of operations, said workers had been cutting into an old 10,000gallon underground fuel tank

when a shower of sparks caused the explosion. He said there must have been some ambient vapours.

“I heard the big kaboom,” said resident Angele Schunke. There was a vacuum, she said, “and then like a whoomph. I was just getting my dog ready for a walk so I think I’m lucky that the doors were already open, so none of the windows broke.

It definitely moved stuff around the house. Crazy, eh?” tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

The glitch has been fixed, but organizers are asking those who registered between that time to do so again.

“It’s really unfortunate that the system failed, and we’re very hopeful that all the amazing volunteers who had already signed up to participate will send us back in their information,” said Elizabeth Model, chair of Surrey Marathon Society.

MAIL IN, OR DROP OFF.

DELTA – Sylvia Bishop returned to council chambers last week, thanking residents for an outpouring of support following her husband’s recent death.

The first-term councillor took a leave of absence from council after her husband, Robert Brown, lost his battle with cancer Aug. 13.

Bishop took a moment during the Sept. 9 council meeting to thank residents for the outpouring of kind wishes and support she and her family received after Brown’s passing. She said she received countless emails and phone calls, as well as food, from residents.

“You have helped soften my family’s sorrow, and for that I thank you,” she said.

In early August, Bishop issued a statement to explain her absence from a July 29 regular council meeting.

She wrote that her husband had been admitted to the Irene Thomas Hospice in Ladner, an end-of-life care facility.

Brown had advanced stage melanoma, a type of skin cancer. Bishop said he was diagnosed in 2009 and had a successful operation.

Bishop said they decided to celebrate then and go on a cruise, and shared with the media a photo of the two of them on that cruise.

Unfortunately, Brown’s health took a turn for the worse and he passed away peacefully on Aug. 13 at the age of 59. He was a sales manager for steel companies and was an avid sports enthusiast, animal lover and family man.

“We have been together for 20 years – he was my best friend,” Bishop said last month.

“We travelled a lot and we enjoyed a lot of the same things – good food, good wine, good times – we were very happy in our home.”

‘Drop Zone’ thrills in wheelchair Events

Surrey’s Marco Pasqua raises cash by rappelling down office tower

Irish poetry showcased

SEE VIDEO OF MARCO PASQUA IN ACTION

Tom Zillich Now staff Twitter @tomzillich

Marco Pasqua was a “super hero” in his wheelchair during a fundraising event in Vancouver last week.

The Surrey resident, born with cerebral palsy, was among those who rappelled down a 20-storey building as part of the annual Drop Zone event in support of Easter Seals programs and services.

Together, the 87 daredevils raised more than $176,000 for the charitable cause.

Fellow Surreyite Ronda McLachlan collected $4,135 in donations, second among all Drop Zone participants.

Pasqua, 28, said he’s able to walk slightly, but chose to do the fundraising stunt in his wheelchair – for a second year in a row.

“That way, it’s more of a spectacle for those watching from below, seeing this guy in a chair saying, ‘Nothing is going to hold me back,’ and that’s the point,” Pasqua told the Now. “Something like this is about going outside your

comfort zone, and I actively seek out opportunities where I feel uncomfortable, because I know that I’m pushing myself in an area in which I wouldn’t otherwise go.”

The Surrey-raised Pasqua, who lives in the Guildford area, began seeking work as a motivational speaker with his own C.U.B.E. Principal company, or “Creatively Utilize your Best Energy,” four years ago, after he lost his job in the video game industry. In August, he won the Entrepreneur of the Year award from the Surreybased SEEDS organization (Self Employment & Entrepreneur Development Society).

Last Tuesday, Pasqua used his own arm strength to rappel down the AXA Place tower in about six minutes.

About 50 feet from the sidewalk, a tire on his chair snagged on a window sill.

“I was still strapped in, but I had to use my arm strength to push myself away from the building and pop my wheel off the ledge,” he said.

“It wouldn’t have been good if I flipped myself upsidedown, that’s for sure.”

The fall season of Irish Poetry Nights at Slainte by the Pier begins Wednesday, Sept. 18. The restaurant/bar in White Rock will showcase the poetry of Padraic Colum and Brendan Kennelly from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Similar events are held there on the third Wednesday of each month, at 15057 Marine Dr.

‘Purple Power’ at two places

Marco Pasqua of Surrey is guided to the ground in his wheelchair near the end of his Drop Zone fundraising stunt in Vancouver on Tuesday, Sept. 10.

Thursday is “Purple Power” day at a pair of places in White Rock.

Free coffee and cookies will be available at Medicine Shoppe pharmacy (#1221959 152nd St.) and also at Comfort Keepers (#141480 Foster St.) during events marking National Alzheimer’s Disease and Awareness Month, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at both sites.

“The purpose is to increase awareness of Alzheimer’s as well as do a fund drive to advance the care and research of the Alzheimer’s Society,” said Youla Thomas, an event organizer with Comfort Keepers, a provider of inhome senior care.

During September, people are encouraged to wear purple in support of the fight against the disease.

Tons of produce yet to pick at God’s Little Acre MORE PHOTOS

Amy Reid Now staff Twitter @amyreid87

CLOVERDALE – About 35,000 pounds of produce has been sent to local food banks and charities already this season from God’s Little Acre Farm, but there is still 100,000 to 200,000 pounds of vegetables yet to harvest.

After farm operator Jas Singh put a call out to the community to help pick the crop last month, nearly 600 people answered his call and volunteered.

Singh urges the community to keep helping to ensure the rest of the produce – which includes carrots, red potatoes, mixed squash and more – can make it to food banks’ shelves and ultimately in the mouths of those in need.

Singh began his project three years ago, growing 62,000 pounds of potatoes on three acres of land,

all donated to those in need. The project has grown to include 34 acres this year.

Next year, Singh has 60 acres to farm, thanks to people stepping up and offering their land. The project’s farms will grow to include a blueberry farm and land behind the Honeybee Centre on Fraser Highway.

Volunteer days are Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Call Singh at 604-375-1172 to volunteer.

There is another big project happening to help fill local food banks – the B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive, which started Sept. 9.

The Thanksgiving Food Drive, now in its fifth year, is a provincewide non-demoninational, community-oriented project.

Organizers hope to gather more than 350,000 pounds of food, all of which will stay in the community where it is gathered.

Donation bags are sent out and residents are encouraged to fill them with non-perishable food items. The main collection day will be on Sept. 21. with files from Carolyn Cooke

The farm, run by Jas Singh, grows food that is then picked by volunteers and donated to local food banks to help feed the less fortunate. Even though many people have given their time to help bring in the vegetable crops, there is a lot more food ready to be picked this season. (Photo: KEVIN HILL)

The caring and knowledgeable team at Robertson Hearing has been helping the community with their hearing health needs on the Semiahmoo Peninsula for over 30 years. This local business offers a full range of audiometric services, utilizing state-of-the art equipment and procedures.

What are you offering to your customers that sets you apart from the competition?

David Howie, owner/operator, wife Lenore, and Carolyn Slatten, office manager and care coordinator, are experienced, friendly professionals who enjoy assisting patients and making all visitors feel at ease. It is their goal to maintain exceptional service as their top priority. Mark Nickel, who continues to be an asset to the team, holds bachelor degrees in computer science and business administration.

What have been the key ingredients to running a successful business on the Peninsula?

Robertson Hearing’s practice continues to grow. They attribute this success to referrals from happy customers, and to offering state-of-the-art technology, the finest quality products, and a willingness to go that extra mile for their patients.

What would the public be surprised to learn about your business?

Robertson Hearing opened its White Rock clinic in 1983 and is proud to be the longest established hearing aid clinic on the Peninsula. Hospital and house consultations can be arranged for hearing tests, if patients are physically unable to come into their office.

What new, innovative products or services are you offering for 2013?

David Howie is enthusiastic about the tremendous advancements in hearing aid technology. In particular, WIRELESS OPEN CANAL hearing devices have revolutionized the hearing aid industry. Patients are amazed at the clarity and comfort these instruments provide in telephone and TV listening. They are delighted to hear their own voices naturally, and often forget they are even wearing a hearing aid.

David invites you to make an appointment for a complimentary hearing assessment and consultation. Learn how today’s superior technology can dramatically improve your hearing potential and quality of life… there are so many great things to hear… we are here to help!

High school football

Frank Hurt Hornets swarm into class AA Michael Booth Now staff Twitter @boothnow

Members of the Frank Hurt Hornets football team are still in high school, but they’ve already signed their first contract.

Representing your school is a privilege, and Hornets coach Duane Linnen, a U.S. Navy veteran, insists the Hornets must follow a strict code of conduct.

At the beginning of the season, each player signs a contract promising he will live up to the team’s standards of behaviour.

Under the terms of the contract each player must: ❚ Maintain a 70 per cent average in every class. ❚ Attend study hall every Monday. ❚ Respect themselves, the coaches, the managers, their teammates and their opponents. ❚ Attend all practises. If a player misses two practises in a week, he won’t play. ❚ Contribute to the team.

Injured players still attend practises and help out by setting up equipment and fetching water bottles.

“I have my rules and everybody has to abide by them,” Linnen said.

“I’m old school and I don’t care if you are the star player — if you break my rules, you don’t play in the next game. Discipline is

(Photo: KEVIN HILL) very important because these are teenaged boys. The kids respond well to the discipline and I find parents are really thankful for the team discipline rules because they can see a difference in the way the kids behave when they get home.”

The 2013 season is shaping up as a season of change for the Hornets.

After four years of wandering in the wilderness, the Hornets are

back where they belong among the ranks of class AA football teams.

In Frank Hurt’s last AA season (2009), the Hornets went winless and interest in the sport hit an all-time low. The following year, Frank Hurt dropped down to the weaker Tier 2 level where they won a championship.

Despite the banner campaign, the team still had trouble

attracting players and the Hornets remained in the lower division for another two seasons.

Last year the Hornets won another Tier 2 crown and this time, Linnen and his swarm determined they were ready to return to the AA ranks.

Linnen said rival coaches and armchair quarterbacks groused that the Hornets were sandbagging

in an effort to win championships against inferior competition. What those critics fail to grasp is the challenges faced by an inner city school in Surrey.

“What those people don’t understand is we don’t have a Grade 8 or a jayvee team so I never know what my numbers are going to be like each year,” Linnen said.

“If I knew I was going to have 35 kids guaranteed, then sure, I would have moved up. The problem is I don’t know — I just pray that I have 20 to 25 kids.

“I don’t believe in padding other teams’ stats with 15 kids who are getting killed every week. Kids aren’t going to join a team when that’s what they can expect every week and it’s also a safety issue.”

Instead, Linnen and rest of the coaching staff have worked for three years to build the team back up. Finding coaches available to attend practises after school is an ongoing challenge, but several former players have stepped up to help out.

Players are another issue. Good football players used to transfer to other schools to play the game and Linnen ended up relying on players to recruit their buddies to join the team. Now kids are transferring into Frank Hurt to play high school football.

SPORTS Junior A hockey

Goalie shines but Surrey Eagles settle for weekend split The Surrey Eagles’ season is only four games old, but goaltender Vic Adamo has already absorbed more rubber than a wayward raccoon on King George Boulevard at rush hour.

In three starts this season,

Adamo has never faced less than 40 shots a game guarding the Eagles’ net.

Adamo posted a shutout of West Kelowna at the BCHL showcase a week ago and kept the momentum going last weekend when he

backstopped Surrey to a 5-4 overtime win Friday over Langley before falling 5-2 to Coquitlam Sunday at South Surrey Arena.

Against Coquitlam, Adamo held the Eagles in the game despite being outshot 40-25.

The Eagles trailed 3-2 with two minutes to play when Corey Mackie beat Adamo on a breakaway to seal Surrey’s fate.

Nicolas Pierog and Brett Mulcahy provided the Surrey goals.

The Eagles staged their home

opener Friday and sent their fans home happy when Jonah Renouf scored 3:08 into overtime to lift Surrey past the Rivermen.

Pierog, Mulcahy, Danton Heinen and Colton Mackie also scored for Surrey in the win.

relationship with the North Surrey Minor Football program has helped keep the Hornets stocked with experienced talent.

Now that they are back in class AA, the Hornets are enjoying some perks from the move. While competing in Tier 2, the team had to play all over the Lower Mainland, Sunshine Coast and, frequently, Vancouver Island. That meant several times each year Frank Hurt had to make a two-day trek to Campbell River and Victoria, a journey that included busses, ferries, food and lodging that ultimately cost upward of $2,000 per game.

As a member of the AA Southern Conference, road expenses have been trimmed noticeably. The Hornets have one game this year in Parksville and after that, the next longest road trip will be to Tsawwassen.

Best of all, the Hornets can now can build local rivalries. Frank Hurt will host Seaquam on Oct. 11 and play at Holy Cross on Nov. 2.

“Our biggest rivalry last year was in Squamish, but that’s a long way to go,” said lineman Connor Barron, who is now in his fourth season with the Hornets.

“Now we get to play teams like South Delta and Seaquam and Holy Cross — teams that are only a 10or 15-minute bus ride away.

“After three years of playing in Tier 2, I feel like we deserve this now. We’re excited as a team to be able to play these teams and prove that we belong in double A and are not just a development team that gets kicked around all the time.”
