Surrey’s billion-dollar

Smoking ban coming for parks, beaches

BUILDING BOOM

by Kevin Diakiw

EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER

These highrise towers in City Centre are among the $804 million worth of residential development tallied by the city last year.

2010 a robust year for construction as development growth rebounds by Kevin Diakiw DESPITE A B.C. economy that is still recover-

ing from a recession, Surrey was home to more than a billion dollars in construction projects last year. The city tallied $1.2 billion in building permit values in 2010, the fourth highest construction total in Surrey’s history. Two-thirds of that growth ($804 million

worth) was in residential development. Of that residential construction, high-density units are on the rise. Apartment building increased by 323 per cent over 2009 to nearly $90 million. Townhouse construction last year soared by 288 per cent to $167 million. The prized commercial ($248 million) and industrial ($65 million) development made up 20 per cent and six per cent of the total, respectively.

Institutional development comprised the remaining seven per cent. Don Luymes, Surrey’s manager of the community planning division, said the city is returning to its normal robust development. “It really collapsed in 2009,” Luymes said. “But on the commercial side, it was a good year – the best that I’ve seen.” See WATTS / Page 4

SURREY IS set to ban smoking at all parks and beaches within the city. On Wednesday night, Surrey’s Parks, Recreation and Culture Committee unanimously passed a staff report recommending the creation of a bylaw forbidding people from lighting up in the public areas. Coun. Mary Martin, chair of the committee and the head of the Mayor’s Task Force on Health, said the proposed bylaw is particularly important for youth and seniors, which are more likely to be affected by second-hand smoke. The bylaw comes after a pilot project to gauge community reaction. Surrey’s parks and recreation department initiated the project in May. During the pilot period, one person was caught and complied with the request to put the cigarette out. The city’s current smoking bylaw, enacted on July 31, 2008, prohibits anyone from smoking Mary Martin within 7.5 metres of doorways, windows and air ducts. The city’s prohibitive distance is more than twice that required by the province (three metres). Delta has had a 10-metre nosmoking zone since 2006. When the bylaw banning smoking at parks and beaches is passed, those caught will face a fine of up to $200.

TV news reporter facing sex charges Suspended from assistant coaching duties at Surrey United Soccer Club by Kevin Diakiw A REPORTER with Global TV is

facing several sex-related charges involving a person under the age of 16. Ron Bencze, a 44-year-old Surrey resident, has been charged with five offences. The complaint was brought to police attention on Sunday. Bencze faces one count of sexual assault, two counts of sexual interference of a person under 16, and two counts of invitation to touching someone under 16 years old. The offenses are alleged to have taken place between 2001 and 2011. Bencze was also an assistant coach for the Surrey United Soccer Club. “We learned today from the public media that Ron Bencze, an assistant coach with one of our soccer teams, was charged with a Ron Bencze number of sexual offences involving a minor,” said Surrey United Soccer Club Executive Director Martin Foden. “Our governing body, British Columbia Soccer Association, has a Youthsafe Policy which Surrey United has fully adopted and in accordance with that policy, we have notified Mr. Bencze that he has been suspended from all soccerrelated activities with our club and district association until further notice.” Bencze appeared in Surrey Provincial Court Tuesday afternoon and was released from custody on See BENCZE page 4

Crime-solving more than a numbers game, police say Surrey and Delta respond to study showing low clearance rates by Dan Ferguson NEW FIGURES that show the

Surrey RCMP and Delta Police Department (DPD) don’t solve as many crimes as other law enforcement agencies don’t tell the whole story, representatives of both forces say. Statistics Canada reports the police clearance rate for Surrey is 20.1 per cent while the Delta rate is 24.5 per cent, well below the Canadian average of 38.4

per cent. A police file is considered cleared when a charge is laid, a case is ruled unfounded, or a decision is made to lay no charge. The numbers were generated according to a Statistics Canada formula that adjusts the clearance rate to give more weight to serious crimes. Critics of the new approach have complained it penalizes communities with fewer serious crimes, giving them artificially

lower clearance rates because the crimes they solve are not considered as important. DPD Sgt. Sharlene Brooks said that approach can skew the numbers for a community like Delta, with relatively few homicides and other heavily weighted crime categories combined with a no-call-too-small policy.

Watts: Good public policy set the stage for success From page 1 Commercial and industrial development bring in about three times the taxes as residential development, so they are seen as a healthier source of growth. At the same time, they draw on far fewer resources, such as libraries, community centres, garbage hauling and parks. A staff report presented to council in 2001 – when housing stock represented 72 per cent of the total amount of taxes generated – indicated Surrey was not meeting sustainable levels. “A ratio of 60 per cent residential and 40 per cent industrial and commercial is considered to be the minimum level necessary relative to the long-term health of the city,” the staff report said. Burnaby draws 50 per cent from industry and commerce, Richmond 49

per cent and Vancouver 56 per cent. On the flip side, White Rock brings in only 10 per cent of its taxes from commerce and industry. Currently, about 69 per cent of property tax in Surrey is generated by residential development, while the remainder comes from the commercial developments. The amount of growth in each sector for 2010 is about on par with those historical taxation percentages. Mayor Dianne Watts said good public policy at the onset of the recession created an environment where the city could bounce back. An Economic Action Plan that included an investment zone in North Surrey helped create fertile ground for growth, she said. Other cities throughout the region didn’t fare so well.

In Delta, building permit values dropped by 4.7 per cent in 2010, from $153.5 million to $146.3 million. Again, residential development made up the lion’s share (65 per cent) of construction in Delta at $94.5 million, down almost $6 million from 2009. Commercial development in Delta was up 55 per cent, bringing it to $8.2 million last year. However, industrial development dropped by almost 50 per cent west of Scott Road to $17.1 million. In White Rock, construction values tumbled 7.2 per cent last year, dropping from $43 million in 2009 to $40 million last year. Of that amount, only $1 million was commercial. White Rock currently relies on residential development for 90 per cent of its tax revenue.

Brooks added that in B.C., unlike other provinces, Crown prosecutors – not police – decide whether to lay charges, something that affects how cases get cleared. RCMP Insp. Garry Begg said the clearance statistics don’t allow for the different nature of a city like Surrey, a rapidly growing community with a younger-than-average population that is far more mobile than other cities, a description that applies to both lawabiding residents and criminals. The good news, Begg said, are other figures that show a consistent improvement in every category of policing in Surrey. “Crime is the lowest it’s been in 10 years,” Begg said. “It’s declined every year since 2003.” All major B.C. cities had clearance rates well below the national average. In cities of 50,000 and up, Nanaimo is highest at 37.5 per cent. Chilliwack has the lowest weighted clearance rate at 18.5 per cent. Statistics Canada has also released new crime rate figures. Like the clearance rate, they’ve

been adjusted based on the type of the offences. The “Crime Severity Index” for B.C. cities over 50,000 shows that Surrey has the fourth-highest crime rate in the province after first-place Prince George, second-place Kelowna and third-place Victoria. Delta, on the other hand, has the fourth-lowest crime rate among the 19 cities in that category. Saanich had the lowest crime rate of them all. The latest figures for per capita policing show that both Surrey and Delta have fewer officers than the national average of 203 police officers per 100,000 people, but Delta was closer at 160 than Surrey was at 138. The RCMP has in the past complained that the per capita figures are misleading when it comes to RCMP detachments which can access RCMP resources at the provincial and national headquarters as well as call in Mounties from other detachments. Among B.C. cities of 50,000 or more people, Victoria had the highest per capita number of police officers at 235, while North Vancouver District had the lowest at 99.

a number of conditions, including abstaining from any contact with the victim or any other young persons. He is not allowed to return to his Cloverdale home and has been ordered to stay with a friend in Langley. He is scheduled to appear in court again on Feb. 7. Global BC news director Ian Haysom said in a statement that Bencze is now off the job. He has been suspended with pay. “Ron has stated he will vigorously defend himself against the charges. We are unable to make any further comment,” Haysom said in a statement to CTV News. Bencze is married with three children and joined Global BC in 2004.

Fast-track eco-study: EAC Development may be outpacing completion of review by Kevin Diakiw PRIME ECOLOGICALLY sensitive

land will be developed before a document designed to protect it is complete, environmental groups fear. Members from Surrey’s Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) addressed council last Monday voicing concerns over the city’s Ecosystem Management Study (EMS), an overarching document designed to protect environmentally sensitive areas in Surrey.

EAC vice-chair Bob Campbell said the committee has heard concerns from representatives of Surrey Environmental Partners and the David Suzuki Foundation. “Surrey has some of the last (sizable) tracts of land that are going to be developed that hold very high environmental values,” Campbell told council. The committee sought input from staff and others to determine the veracity of the claims being made. “We really felt there was a case

to be heard,” Campbell said. The David Suzuki Foundation recommended ceasing development in the environmentally sensitive areas. Campbell said the EAC wouldn’t go that far. “We are not endorsing the statement that you stop all development, but we do believe that these policies and procedures should be in place and should be followed before development moves forward,” Campbell said. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Surrey expands pesticide bylaw Now multiple family dwellings cannot use chemicals by Kevin Diakiw SURREY COUNCIL has approved a ban on cosmetic

use of pesticides (including fungicides and herbicides) throughout the city, including apartment buildings. Last May, city council endorsed a pesticide bylaw for all single-family dwellings. Except in rare cases, chemicals used to control pests were restricted on both private and publicly owned land. It had been a long battle for the Surrey and White Rock Pesticide-free Coalition, which had been lobbying Surrey for such a bylaw for three years. Last Monday night, Surrey council added multiple family dwellings, such as apartments, to the restricted areas of use.

PURCHASE FINANCING

Now, the bylaw covers all of the city, except where Surrey doesn’t have the jurisdiction to control pesticide use. They include: agriculture and forestry operations; controlling noxious weeds (as identified under the Weed Act); controlling pests in or on buildings, structures and hard landscaping; managing outbreaks of introduced invasive exotic or foreign pests, managing pests that threaten sensitive ecosystems, purifying water used for human or animal consumption; and responding to human or animal health issues. “I’m really happy that it’s going to be (enforced) across the city,” said Coun. Mary Martin, chair of the Mayor’s Task Force on Health. The amendment passed unanimously by council.

Surrey/North Delta Leader 7

A Liberal We must take a stand against violence voodoo economy in B.C. JUST HOW MUCH trouble is B.C. in financially? According to Premier Campbell, B.C.’s debt stands at $47.757 billion which is $13.969 billion more than it was when Mr. Campbell took office. Unfortunately that figure does not tell the whole story, which is another $60 billion in unfunded P3 projects, which they do not include in the budget. According to the so-called liberals, it is free money. Is it really free money or is that just a convenient deception on the government’s part? If it isn’t, B.C.’s real debt is actually $107.757 billion, which is a staggering tripling of debt in one decade. Ask the taxpayers about their P3 involvement in the Olympic village. Every one of these P3s depend totally on the financial health of any particular partner that these contracts are entered into with. They are all done with borrowed money, and if that company goes bankrupt or folds for whatever reason, the lenders still want their money and guess who is the co-signer of all these unfunded loans. The individual taxpayer always pays the piper in the end. Even if everything goes right, it is still the taxpayer that pays either in taxes, user fees or tolls, depending on the type of facility or infrastructure that is involved – in the end it is anything but free money. In the real world, anybody that reads knows that even the biggest companies in the world are subject to insolvency or bankruptcy – General Motors and Enron, to give two examples – and if we end up having to swallow the debt of even a few of these huge P3s (the Canada Line, for instance), it is not hard to imagine what that would do to our already onerous tax load. Welcome to California North. I believe this is a perfect example of real voodoo economics. Wayne Clark, Maple Ridge

NO ONE WHO seeks or wins office should be in fear for their lives. All politicians are really doing is working to give back to their communities, to their regions and to their countries. We are trying to make things better for everyone. The tragic shooting in Arizona was carried out by someone with severe mental illness... not only did he target congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, but he spent 30 rounds from his pistol shooting anyone and everyone he could indiscriminately. There is no

excuse for this tragedy. My father was assassinated for the stance he took to bring justice to the victims of Air India Flight 182. He was targeted specifically because he intended to bring out the truth behind this terrible act of terrorism. These acts of violence touch so many lives, so many victims, not just those who were injured or died but their families, friends and our collective future. We all lose when these things happen, when so many lives,

which hold such promise, are simply lost through the random acts of a violent person. As a politician and a person, I feel a great sympathy for the tragic attack on the congresswoman’s life and I grieve for all those innocent people who died or were injured. While these acts of random violence are often not preventable, it will not discourage people from speaking out against injustice, will not discourage people from speaking up for the rights of victims and will not discourage

lawmakers from continuing the fight to rid society of violence. Each of us has the right to speak out and stand up for what is right. Even in the face of tragic events such as the one in Arizona, we must stand up for what is best for our communities and our society. If we allow violence and criminals to scare us into silence, then the wrong people will win, and we cannot, must not, let that happen. Dave S. Hayer, MLA Surrey-Tynehead

A penny still has value “WER DEN PFENNIG nicht ehrt, ist den taler nicht wert.”

p y is not worth the Translation: The one not valuing the penny, dollar. This is an old German saying, and itt could have lost some meaning in the translation. I have been brought up to respect the he meaning behind this phrase; I live by it and still pick up a penny on the road if I come across one. So here are my thoughts on abolish-ing the penny. I feel the physical penny has to stay for a number of reasons, and not just electronically as has been suggested. I dismiss the fact that the cost of producing the penny is diminishing the value of the penny itself. The production cost is about one-and-a-half cents whereas the distribution of the penny could be as high as three cents. There are a lot of products on the market where the face value is consid-erably higher than the actual value. The penny still plays an important part in our currency structure. Certain n he parts of our industries love to divide the penny even in one more digit, up to nine. ine. Consider gasoline, where the emphasis asis is to get the first impression on the actual pricee and that cent fraction gets absorbed unnoticed by the he customer, but it is a gain for the producer. The stock market even uses a two-digit fraction to break down the penny. No wonder, as a one-cent (penny) change in the dollar currency on

the world market could mean millions of dollars in trade deficit/gain. The Senate committee appears pp to favour the “Swedish roundsuggesting voluntary guidelines to rounding” system, by sugges ing to the nearest nickel “in cash transactions only.” So leave the penny (cent) where it is. Our society has evolved into making plastic money transacti transactions, where the penny is only a penny’s worth. penny’ Our governments only talk of milOu lion lions and billions, even for the smallest projects. There of course, the pennies pro do don’t count. Pennies appear mostly on paper and certain sections of our o p population. There are penny collectors and apparently there are 20 billion pennies in circulation, worth $200 million. Maybe that’s the reason the goveernment has to keep producing the pennies to fill the demand – so that p th the collectors can fill piggybanks for a rrainy day. In my opinion, no matter what the outco outcome for penny, the bottom line is that we as the paying public have to pay one way or the other. Keeping the penny in circulation in the long run with proper prop management would be a better alternative than abolishing a it. Ten pennies still make m a dime or 100 pennies amount tto a dollar d ll no matter tt what h t the th cost of a penny is. Bruno Fenger, Surrey

Whose debt is it really? Explore motives THIS WEEK, the federal government saw fit

to tighten the mortgage rules again. While it’s always a good thing to encourage prudence and thrift, I sense an incredible amount of hypocrisy by the Conservatives in this latest move. Instead of being so concerned about consumer debt, Finance Minister, Jim Flaherty and his government should be concerned about the massive debt they are incurring as they contemplate putting forward what is sure to be another deficit budget. I wonder, has it ever occurred to them that the reason why Canadians’ personal debt levels are so high is because we are the ones paying to service our national debt which has recently topped the $555-billion mark. If the Conservatives were truly concerned about our debt levels, it’s time they led by example and started to rein in

spending and trim down the bureaucracy which now boasts a workforce of more than 300,000. The Conservatives have no plan on how to get out of this deficit spending and they certainly don’t seem very concerned about the soaring national debt. Unfortunately the everyday Canadian doesn’t have the option of defaulting on their mortgage simply because they have fallen on adverse times. Not so, the government thought. They seem to think that the debt only needs to be paid down when there is a little left over after their unbridled spending is finished. It’s time the government treated the national debt like a mortgage! Mike Schouten, CHP Canada, candidate for South SurreyWhite Rock-Cloverdale

RE: THE ARIZONA shooting.

I strongly believe that society must look beyond violent persons’ atrocious acts and more at their motivation for committing the act, however abhorrent, and therefore possibly learn how to prevent future offences of the kind. But it seems that all we get from the news media, almost certainly unintentional, are reasons why we should feel disdain for the persons who commit the terrible act(s). Could some offenders actually despise what they do but feel compelled – and perhaps even feel left without a choice – because of severe mental illness? Or are they really just plain evil and simply want to commit heinous acts against their target(s)? What, on a secular and/or religious level, “provoke(s)” the offender(s)? Nonetheless, contemporary society’s general mentality is to react according to the criminal act itself and largely disregard any possible motives for that act – knowledge that could perhaps prevent future monstrous conduct.

Civil suit over assault Damage sought for alleged attack on delivery man by Sheila Reynolds A SURREY MAN who was alleg-

The suit filed by Firoz Khan, a newspaper delivery truck driver at the time of the incident, accuses West Vancouver Const. Griffin Gillan, New Westminster Const. Jeffrey Klassen and Delta Police Const. Blair Tanino of delivering the beating because of “race, ethnicity or the colour of his skin.” The suit claims the off-duty Gillan was drunk and standing

Radio India loses lawsuit Defendants failed to ﬁle response Black Press THREE MEN from Surrey have won a default judgement in a civil lawsuit against Radio India and several employees. Radio India is a Surrey-based station that broadcasts ethnic-language programming to South Asian listeners from a transmitter in Washington State. The B.C. Supreme Court judgement, released last week, says defendants Maninder Singh Gill, Professor Gurdev Singh, Tejinder Singh Sekhon, Irfan Rana, Pritpaul Singh Baraich and Amritpaul Singh Brar “failed to file and serve a response” to a civil claim.

The claim referred to was filed last August in New Westminster by Harjit Atwal, Jaspal Atwal and Harkirat Kular, alleging defamation and libel over a series of comments that aired on Radio India. The judgement orders the defendants to pay the plaintiffs’ damages and any other costs, which have yet to be assessed. Gill, who runs Radio India, is also facing numerous weapons charges in connection with a shooting outside a wedding at Guru Nanak Sikh Temple on Aug. 28, 2010 during which Harjit Atwal was shot in the leg. Gill is scheduled to appear in Surrey Provincial Court Thursday morning on those charges. newsroom@surreyleader.com Future Shop – Correction Notice

Library delayed Construction slowdown may push opening to summer by Kevin Diakiw THE CITY Centre

Library will be completed later than first thought due to inclement weather over the winter. Surrey initially thought construction

of the $36-million library would be finished by March, however wet and cold weather over the last few months has slowed work substantially. “The primary reason relates to the completion of the roof

structure and related roofing due to wet and cold weather conditions in late November and December 2010,” according to a staff report to council. The deadline for completion as part of a $20-million grant

from the federal and provincial government was recently extended from March 31 to Oct. 31 this year. Surrey staff are confident the library can be completed by this summer. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Surrey expects Pioneer Bridge and 168 Street Bridge to be ﬁnished by March by Kevin Diakiw TWO MAJOR pedestrian overpasses will be done by spring. Construction of a pedestrian overpass at 168 Street over Highway 1 will allow foot and bicycle traffic between Fraser Heights and Tynehead Park, while adding to the bicycle network allowing cyclists to access Barnston Island and Surrey Bend Park.

In addition, Surrey will be constructing the Pioneer Bridge over Highway 99, just south of the Nikomekl River, providing access between Grandview Heights and Sunnyside Urban Forest. The projects are on a tight timeline, so Surrey council gave staff permission to award the contract to begin work on the 168 Street overpass as soon as possible.

The overpass, to be built at 168 Street over the TransCanada Highway, is the result of months of planning between the B.C. ministry of transportation and construction companies Kiewet and Flatiron (combining as Kiewet Flatiron for the work), which are performing a major expansion of Highway 1 and the Port Mann Bridge. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Transit Police force loses another chief Second top cop departs as service seeks stability by Jeff Nagel

order to bring a different management philosophy to the force. Beattie, also a former Mountie, was offered the permanent job of chief but yesterday declined and has instead opted to rejoin the RCMP in Surrey. Surrey RCMP announced Wednesday that Beattie will be the new Operations Officer for the detachment, replacing Supt. Wayne Rideout, who is headed to E-Division headquarters. Board chair Peter Webster, in a letter distributed to Transit Police staff, said the board is “acutely aware” of the need for the force to quickly stabilize its leadership. An executive search will begin to find a new permanent chief. Beattie leaves at the end of the

ACTING CHIEF Officer George Beattie is leaving Metro Vancouver’s Transit Police Service after just four months. He had been Deputy Chief but took over the force’s acting top job last September when the police board decided to fire his predecessor, Chief Ward Clapham, without cause. Clapham, a 28-year Mountie who previously headed the Richmond RCMP, had brought new community-based policing tactics to the force and stickhandled transit security during the 2010 Winter Olympics. The board at that time indicated it terminated Clapham in

month and a new acting chief will be named by then. Webster said he’s “extremely grateful” for Beattie’s leadership and ability to step in and provide stability and continuity since September. “We’re losing a quality guy, there’s no doubt about that and the RCMP are getting back a well-trained officer,” added police board member Bill Brown. Beattie had served with the Transit Police for a year and a half and said he was grateful for the experience and expected to continue to have contact with the force. There are currently 167 sworn Transit Police officers and another 28 civilian members.

A SENIOR is in critical condition after being struck by a vehicle while crossing Whalley Boulevard at 102 Avenue Sunday evening. The 79-year-old woman was initially thought to be okay, but her condition worsened, and she was rushed to hospital where she underwent surgery for a head injury. The vehicle was heading east on 102 Avenue and turned onto Whalley Boulevard at about 6:30 p.m. when it struck the woman. It’s not clear whether or not she was crossing with a signal to walk. Conditions were dark and wet and the woman was wearing dark clothing. The driver of the vehicle was interviewed and cooperative. Drugs and alcohol were not factors in the accident. Anyone who may have witnessed the incident is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

Pair charged with smuggling ecstacy Nearly eight kilograms of drugs found in luggage prior to trip to Australia by Martin van den Hemel A MAN AND WOMAN have been charged with trying to smuggle about $40,000 worth of ecstasy during a trip to Australia last April. Michel Andre Normal Tremblay, 43, and Nadine Fayann Prevost, 31, both from Surrey, were each charged with a single count of exporting a controlled substance this week in Richmond Provincial Court. On April 10, 2010, Tremblay and Prevost were pulled aside by Canada Border Services agents at Vancouver International Airport prior to boarding their flight to Australia. During a secondary search, the luggage belonging to Tremblay and Prevost â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who are not known to police â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was found to contain 7.87 kilograms of MDMA, otherwise

known as ecstasy. RCMP Const. Michael McLaughlin, from E-division in Vancouver, said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if the MDMA was in pill or powder form. But the wholesale value of the drugs was between $39,000 and $44,000. Tremblay and Prevost were arrested last April, and released on a promiseto-appear court document. Asked why it took so long to charge them, McLaughlin said there were some delays in getting the entire evidence package to the Crown. The size of this seizure isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t significant compared to recent busts involving dozens or hundreds of kilos of illegal drugs, but McLaughlin said concealing nearly eight kilograms inside luggage isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy. news@richmondreview.com

Hydro smart meters coming this year Customers will be able to accurately keep track of their home energy use by Tom Fletcher

meter era, and all rate changes must be approved by the B.C. Utilities Commission. The smart meter program is budgeted to cost $930 million, including meters, wireless networks and in-home displays for customers. NDP energy critic and leadership candidate John Horgan said a new time-of-day rate structure is inevitable, but it can’t be imposed until customers have smart meters. He continues to question the high initial cost, especially as BC Hydro raises rates and contracts with highercost private power producers. “If you had a billion dollars, is this the best way to spend it?” Horgan said. “And we’re looking at a 50-percent rate increase over the next three years.” He suggested the money would be better spent helping people install energy-saving home upgrades such as insulation and double-glazed windows. BC Hydro estimates that the smart meter program will produce a net savings of $500 million over the next

BC HYDRO is getting ready to install “smart meters” across the province that will tell customers how much electricity they’re using at different times of the day. But unlike Ontario’s smart meters, the B.C. program will not immediately come with mandatory higher rates for peak period use and lower rates for non-peak times such as late at night. In its business case for the new meters, released Tuesday, BC Hydro says customers will be offered an opportunity to choose “time of use” rates if they want them. But that promise only lasts until all the new meters are installed, by the end of 2012. The completion date was dictated by the B.C. government’s latest energy plan, part of Premier Gordon Campbell’s effort to encourage new clean energy sources and stop net electricity imports to B.C. BC Hydro says it is still in the early stages of determining its rate structure for the smart

20 years, through improved reliability and efficiency as well as conservation of energy. The smart meters will report consumption automatically, eliminating

the need for meter readers, and the new meters will also detect power outages and electricity theft. Installation is to begin by mid-2011, and customers will

receive notices along with their bills when installers are coming to their community. Once a smart meter is installed, customers with computers will be able to log into

their secure BC Hydro account and see a nearly real-time display of their electricity use. After meter installation is done in 2012, BC Hydro plans

to offer rebates to people who want to purchase an in-home power consumption display that sits on the wall like a thermostat.

Ontario, B.C. see biggest tax hikes Annual statistics show Canadians in every income category are being taxed more by Kevin Diakiw TAXES ACROSS the country are

going up and the biggest hikes are taking place in Ontario and British Columbia, according to a report from a tax watchdog agency. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) released its annual New Year tax calculations, providing a glimpse of the year to come. In years past, the CTF has been able to point out winning and losing provinces and/or income brackets, but this year, the picture is bleak across the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nearly every working Canadian will be paying more in income and payroll taxes in 2011,â&#x20AC;? said Derek Fildebrandt, CTF national research director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In every province, family and income scenario, our research

finds that the governments take from inflation-adjusted incomes will increase, in some case substantially.â&#x20AC;? That being said, some provinces are being hit harder than others. Ontario taxpayers are going to feel it the most, followed by British Columbians and Nova Scotians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without a doubt, Ontarians are the biggest losers when it comes to tax changes that took effect Jan. 1 with an average 4.3 per cent increase in the scenarios we examined.â&#x20AC;? After adjusting for inflation, a single-earner Ontario family with an income of only $45,000 in 2010 will see a hike of a 5.1 per cent, costing that family an additional $389. A dual-income family making $80,000 will pay an extra $590 (3.5 per cent) and a single-income family making

$100,000 will pay $1,035 (3.6 per cent) more. British Columbians arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much better off, facing a 2.9 per cent increase. In B.C., a single-earner family with an income of $35,000 will face a hike of 8.1 per cent, costing them an additional $384 next year. A dual-income family making $80,000 in 2010 will see a hike of 1.8 per cent, meaning they will be hit with an additional bill of $312. â&#x20AC;&#x153;British Columbians were expecting a 15 per cent cut in the provincial share of their income taxes on Jan. 1, but thanks to the cabinet flip-flop, they now face the second largest hike in the country after Ontario,â&#x20AC;? said Fildebrandt.

Hoarders: Old bulbs may soon vanish Not everyone likes the more efﬁcient compact ﬂuorescent lights by Jeff Nagel STANDARD incandescent light bulbs are now an endangered species. A phase-out underway means consumers who haven’t already made the switch will soon have to start buying more energy efficient compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs instead. B.C. banned new imports of old 75- and 100-watt incandescent bulbs Jan. 1, although wholesalers and retailers are allowed to continue selling off their existing stock.

That means for some weeks and perhaps months, hold-outs should be able to buy and stockpile higherwattage old-style bulbs before they become a retro rarity. “We’ve had quite a run on incandescent light bulbs,” said James Price, owner of Ladner Village Hardware. He hasn’t run out yet – the store still expects to get more shipments of standard bulbs before they vanish from warehouses altogether. “A lot of people don’t like the colour of the light with the CFLs,” he

said, adding some of his customers are hoarding old bulbs. “They’re used to turning a light on and it’s on. CFLs start dim and get brighter, so they’re not as convenient.” Price said large incandescent flood lights have already become harder to find, even for retailers. And he’s stockpiling as many incandescent Christmas light strings as possible for customers who prefer them. Surrey’s Paul Hillsdon won’t be among shoppers rooting out the last regular bulbs.

Incandescents out, ﬂuorescents (above) in. His family switched more than seven years ago to the lower-energy compact fluorescents, which cost more up front but use 75 per

cent less energy than an incandescent and last up to 10 times longer. “The cost savings were there, so why not switch?” Hillsdon

asked. Others hate the new CFLs and plan to hoard old bulbs as long as possible. “I stocked up today,” said one poster on an online forum. “CFLs may use less energy in general but their lighting is cold, you cannot use them with a dimmer, without additional circuitry, and they’re butt ugly,” said Vancouver’s Paul Greasby. “If they want to save the environment they should start with the stores themselves who waste vast amounts of

electricity 24/7 but then charge you five cents for a bag because ‘it helps the environment.’” B.C. Hydro says the bulb switch, which will also be mandated nationally, is needed because 66 per cent of its additional electricity requirements must be met by efficiency and conservation by 2020. Some critics challenge the environmental case for CFLs. They question whether the bulbs last as long in practice – when people turn them on and off frequently – as they do in continuous-use tests. And dead CFL bulbs are considered household hazardous waste because they each contain about four mg of mercury. Recycling depots and many retailers collect compact fluorescent bulbs for recycling and assure safe handling. Many of them go to Langley-based Edmonds Recycling, which uses special machinery to safely crush the bulbs and capture the mercury vapour they emit. But some people still toss the bulbs in the garbage, where they can end up in the landfill or even incinerated at the Burnaby Waste-toEnergy plant, where they can contribute to mercury air or groundwater pollution. Metro Vancouver officials last year said it’s an issue of concern and more must be done to boost the recycling rate of CFL bulbs in the region as a result. B.C. Hydro says the amount of mercury in a CFL is tiny compared to amalgam fillings or a watch battery. Saving power by using a CFL also avoids the generation of dirtier coal-fired electricity, avoiding mercury and toxic emissions in those areas. However the corporation advises you open a window and vacate a room for 15 minutes if a CFL breaks and then use precautions in cleaning up. According to Edmonds, only an estimated seven per cent of the 60 million fluorescents replaced nationally each year are recycled, which suggests significant amounts of mercury may be entering the environment. jnagel@surreyleader.com

in the region’s landfills, and officials are urging the public to think twice before they dump their drugs. Periodically, Metro Vancouver analyzes the garbage headed for landfills and typically finds enough tossed prescription medication to give it a category all its own. “Pharmaceuticals is characterized,” said Albert van Roodselaar, Metro Vancouver’s division manager for utility analysis and environmental management. He couldn’t say what the percentage of the waste load it represents, but it’s significant enough that it’s broken out into a separate category. Some years ago, the Metro Vancouver conducted a poll and found that only one in five people knew outdated drugs should be taken back to the pharmacy. That means 80 per cent were likely throwing them in the garbage or flushing them down the toilet – both bad for the environment. Unused medications can pose a significant health, safety and environmental hazard when improperly stored or disposed.

While it’s not at crisis point now, van Roodselaar said the region must ensure the problem doesn’t escalate. If it does, he said, it could be a big task turning it around. As such, the region is renewing its call for residents to properly dispose of unused pharmaceuticals. British Columbians can return expired or unused medications to pharmacies across the province at no cost. The B.C. Pharmacy Association (BCPhA) and Metro Vancouver campaign to raise awareness of the issus involves more than 20 pharmacies in Port Coquitlam, Richmond, Surrey and West Vancouver. “There is no ‘away’ when you throw medications away in your garbage or flush them down the toilet,” said Metro Vancouver Director Greg Moore, chair of the region’s Waste Management Committee. “Our hope is that, by working with the region’s pharmacists, we will make it easier for people to safely dispose of these potentially harmful medications.” More information about returning unused medications to pharmacies can be found at www.medicationsreturn.ca kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Mayors’ rep ready to deal End of March target date to resolve TransLink impasse by Jeff Nagel REGIONAL mayors

council chair Richard Walton will meet transportation minister Shirley Bond in late January to try to determine how Metro Vancouverites should pay their share of the Evergreen Line and broader transit expansion. But the District of North Vancouver mayor doesn’t expect any quick answers to emerge before the B.C.

Liberals choose a new leader on Feb. 26. “The leadership race has obviously created a delay,” Walton said, but added he aims to quickly proceed after the new premier is selected with detailed talks to hammer out new revenue sources for TransLink by a revised March 31 deadline. Bond agreed late last year to the delay after previously pressing mayors to approve TransLink property tax

Milestone at new Port Mann Crane switches sides on bridge by Jeff Nagel WORK ON THE new Port Mann Bridge

crossed a major milestone last week with completion of the first phase of the new bridge on the Surrey side. The gantry, a huge horizontal crane used to put the 90-tonne concrete bridge deck sections in place, is now being disassembled and moved to the Coquitlam side of the Fraser River. The 700-tonne steel gantry is being moved in pieces, each 40-tonne chunk is being trucked across the existing bridge where it will be reassembled. The sections are being moved at night and it’s expected to take until the end of the month before crews are ready to begin building the bridge deck on the Coquitlam side. Lane closures are in effect while the gantry is being moved. A key challenge is overhead clearance. The trucks must be lowered to a ground clearance of just two inches so the gantry sections don’t hit the bridge superstructure above. A total of 288 pre-cast concrete deck sections have been placed on the Surrey side of the bridge and 831 are ready to be placed on the Coquitlam side. Construction work will require some late night closures to the Coleman on-ramp and Highway 1 westbound during the next several weekends. Crews have to install 60-metre long and five-metre wide girders using large cranes and need access to the work site. The new ramp will connect Lougheed Highway to Highway 1

eastbound and the Mary Hill Bypass, and is one of a number of improvements to the Cape Horn interchange to improve safety, reduce congestion and provide more direct connections between Highway 1 and the surrounding arterial roads. The following temporary changes will take place to allow the work to proceed. • Jan. 21 to 24 from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.: The westbound on-ramp at Coleman Avenue will be temporarily closed and drivers will have to use the Brunette Avenue on-ramp to access Highway 1. Also, there will be two 20-minute stoppages each night for Highway 1 westbound traffic between midnight and 4 a.m. The stoppages will allow workers to transport the girders for the new ramp and lift them into place. • Feb. 4 to 7, 11 to 14 and 18-21, and March 4 to 7: Beginning on Friday night for each of these weekends, the Highway 1 westbound on-ramp at Coleman Avenue from Lougheed Highway will be closed from 9 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. on Saturday and to 9 a.m. on Sunday. There will also be two 20-minute stoppages of Highway 1 westbound traffic each night. The new 10-lane bridge is slated to open by December 2012, along with a new Highway 1 RapidBus service connecting Langley and Surrey to Burnaby.

Dix makes six for NDP Party leadership race intensiﬁes by Tom Fletcher VANCOUVER-KINGSWAY MLA

Adrian Dix entered the NDP leadership race Monday at a Vancouver elementary school he campaigned to keep open, with a list of MLAs and other prominent party members supporting him. “I had high hopes to serve in a government led by Carole James – a great leader who should have become British Columbia’s first elected woman premier,” Dix said in notes for his address. “I am committed to party unity – I’ve always

been a team player – and now I’m asking for the opportunity to be your team leader.” Supporting Dix are three Surrey MLAs, Harry Bains, Sue Hammell and Bruce Ralston, along with Vancouver East MP Libby Davies, Vancouver-Kingsway MP Don Davies and former MP Svend Robinson. The fourth Surrey NDP MLA, Jagrup Brar (SurreyFleetwood), would not commit to any one candidate yet, saying he was waiting hear from his constituents. Dix is the sixth candidate to

enter the race to replace James, pushed out by a revolt of 13 MLAs late last year. He launched his campaign on the last day for party members to sign up and be eligible to vote in a province-wide leadership election on April 17. Dix vowed to win the next election and then “lead British Columbia into a more progressive future” by redistributing wealth. Dix recalled his time as chief of staff to former premier Glen Clark in the late 1990s, which included negotiating the first

modern treaty with the Nisga’a people in northwestern B.C. Dix was fired by Clark in a controversy over a casino licence issued to a neighbour of Clark’s who had done work on his East Vancouver house. Also running for the NDP leadership are Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth, Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan, Fraser-Nicola MLA Harry Lali, Powell River-Sunshine Coast MLA Nicholas Simons and North Vancouver marijuana activist Dana Larsen. tﬂetcher@blackpress.ca

Vancouver-Kingsway MLA Adrian Dix is vying for leadership of the NDP.

Surrey Women in Business Awards N O M I N AT I O N F O R M DEADLINE:

South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert, pictured on election night 2008, hosted a telephone town hall on Monday.

Mass call-out from Hiebert MP’s telephone town hall touted as ﬁrst of its kind by Tracy Holmes TWENTY-FIVE thousand South Surrey, White Rock

and Cloverdale residents received a phone call from MP Russ Hiebert Monday. The telephone town hall – held from 6:30-7:30 p.m. – was touted by the area’s MP as the first of its kind in Canada, “a really neat way to encourage participation in democracy.” Many weeks in the making, it was also a chance for participants to speak directly with Finance Minister Jim Flaherty. “I haven’t heard of any other Member of Parliament using this technology, although it may have happened,” Hiebert said Monday, hours before making the call-out. One man who dialled in about 10 minutes into the conversation described the endeavour as a useful exercise. Bill Taylor said questions to the politicians were on issues ranging from taxation and job creation to why government is spending money on defence equipment as opposed to social programs. All questions were directed at Flaherty, noted Taylor, a White Rock resident who volunteers at Hiebert’s South Surrey office. Given his involvement with the constituency board, Taylor said he chose to listen rather than pose questions himself. Not everyone was happy about the unsolicited interruption to their dinner-hour. Comments on Peace Arch News’ website prior to the call-out criticized it as poorly timed and a waste of taxpayer dollars. Taylor said those he heard on the line appreciated the opportunity the telephone meeting provided. “They may not have agreed with everything, but they were very pleased with the opportunity.” Prior to the event, Hiebert estimated the cost of Monday’s call at “in the pennies” per person. tholmes@peacearchnews.com

A little inside colour goes a long way â&#x20AC;&#x153;pick-me-upâ&#x20AC;? at this time of year. Dozens of colourful, cheery and inexpensive plants are available to brighten anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day. B.C. growers have really done a remarkable job producing a wide variety of smaller plants which will stand up well in the poor winter growing conditions of most homes. Although most of these plants will tolerate somewhat difficult situations, windowsills are perhaps one of the best locations for them.

WE ALL NEED a little

the coolest location in your home with one of the stylish new Power Smart florescent fixtures overhead will make an incredible difference in the quality and lifespan of your plants. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always nice to have a fresh bouquet of pretty flowers or a colourful potted plant in a feature location in your home, but a few smaller pots of colour here and there can also really add warmth to any room. Small potted spring flowers are my favourite at this time of year. On

top of my list are the miniature daffodils, tetea-tete. Their tiny yellow blossoms never seem to quit. They stand up beautifully, reminding us that springâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the way. Fragrant hyacinths are also beautiful and long-lasting, and you know, a single flower is as precious as a whole bouquet.

muscari are cute as a button and last surprisingly well indoors. Try to keep all these bulbs as cool as you can and wet for maximum enjoyment. Kolanchoes have been a real sleeper for too many years now. These brightly coloured succulents last and last with the very minimum of care, and they will stand up well in almost any location. Purchase them at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;tight-budâ&#x20AC;? stage, just before the blossoms begin to open, and each month try one of the many different colours, from yellows and pinks, to deep reds and oranges. Beautiful double-flowering varieties called calendivas are now available. This is just the beginning of azalea season, and they are, without a doubt, one of my favourites. Growers have now perfected small plants that will produce huge blossoms that last very well. Just a couple of essential notes on their care: First, never purchase a plant unless the buds are beginning to open evenly. Early in the season, sometimes the smaller plants can be forced too quickly, allowing only a few buds to open while the others abort. Second, they are one plant you need to water, and I mean soak thoroughly every day. Azaleas will take high or low temperatures and light, and do they ever last well. Their flowers are really insignificant, but who cares when the foliage is a knockout? When is the last time you brought home a Polka Dot plant? Hypoestes have come a long way in the past few years with a whole new color range now available. These fast-growing

Cyclamen plants will brighten up winter. tropicals love a high light location and the white, deep red, pink or burgundy leaves, splashed with green or bronze dots, are simply incredible. Keep pinching them back for a compact plant, but remember, they look gorgeous spreading and trailing in hanging baskets too. The cooler the temperature and the higher the light conditions you can give them, the brighter and more intense the colours become. Ask for the Confetti series for the best colour selection. Cyclamen have come a long way in terms of durability over the past few years, especially the miniature varieties. If you prefer pastel colours, you will love the colour range of the minis. From the softest pinks to the deepest rose reds, they are perhaps one of the most elegant of all potted plants. Even the full-sized blossom series we have available today in fourinch pots are far supe-

rior to the cyclamen we remember from just a few years ago. Water well, but let them become a touch dry before you water again. Be sure to keep water off the crown of the corm. They love to be misted occasionally too. Remember, the cooler you keep them, the richer their colours and the longer they last. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m truly amazed how orchids have caught on as houseplants. Phalaenopsis, or Moth orchids, lead the way with exotic pink, white, and mauve blossoms that last for weeks. They need so little care and stand up so well that they make a super gift. Check out the prices too â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with so many growers now producing for our local market, the prices have really come down to the point where for long lasting enjoyment, orchids are by far, the best value.

Crusaders win boys, girls titles at Catholic tournament

A double for Holy Cross by Rick Kupchuk

by Rick Kupchuk

THE FACT THE host Holy Cross

Crusaders won a B.C. Catholic Schools Basketball Championship last weekend can be described as expected. And surprising. The Crusaders girls team cruised to a fifth-straight championship Saturday night, defeating the St. Thomas Aquinas Fighting Saints 56-22. The title was their 10th in the 24-year history of the Catholic tournament. But for the boys, their 53-46 triumph over the St. Thomas More Knights netted their first championship since 1997, and just the fourth Steve ever for the Surrey school. Beauchamp It was also just the second time in tournament history the Crusaders swept both championships. The Crusaders girls, coming off a win at the Surrey Fire Fighters Goodwill Classic a week earlier, weren’t tested in their three-game run to the championship. The had no trouble with St. Anne’s Academy Thursday morning, winning 69-13, before getting past the Immaculata Mustangs 64-20 Friday evening. “In fairness to the other teams, we came out and played hard every game,” said Crusaders head coach Steve Beauchamp. “The other teams did play up to our level at times, but they couldn’t keep up over a full game.” Holy Cross also dominated the tournament awards, as Jeanneine Yngresso was the tournament MVP, Tessa Beauchamp and Jessica Villadiego were first-team all-stars,

“...they couldn’t keep up over a full game.”

Holy Cross Crusaders guard Marlo Sotana drives to the basket against St. Thomas Aquinas Fighting Saints defender Matt Haff during the 24th annual BC Catholic Basketball Championships at Holy Cross Secondary last Thursday (Jan. 13) afternoon. The Crusaders won both the boys and girls championships for just the second time in tournament history. Cecile Ehman and Claudia Garzitto were second-team all-stars, and Villadiego captured the Best Defensive Player honour. The boys team, a runner-up fin-

ish in 2006 their best result in the past decade, had an easy first game, but were tested in both the semifinal and the championship game. They reached the final four

by stopping St. Thomas Aquinas 56-36. They then won a pair of seven points games, including a 62-45 semifinal win over Immaculata Friday night.

THE VALLEY WEST Hawks saw their 13-game win streak come to an end, but in taking three of a possible four points from the Greater Vancouver Chiefs last weekend, extended their lead atop the B.C. Hockey Major Midget League (MML) standings. The Hawks, in Chase for the MML’s all-star weekend, played the Chiefs to a 4-4 tie Saturday night, then won a close 4-3 contest Sunday afternoon. They moved three points clear of the Vancouver Giants, who split their two-game set with the Fraser Valley Bruins, also in Chase. Kyle Becker’s second goal of the game with less than two minutes to play earned the Hawks a tie on Saturday. Kevan Kilistoff of Langley and Surrey’s Trevor Cox also scored for Valley West. The Hawks seemed headed for a second consecutive tie until James Neil of Surrey netted the winner Sunday with just 37 seconds left. Kilistoff, Trent Lofthouse of Surrey and Justin Rai also scored for the Valley West team. The Hawks – comprised of players from the Semiahmoo, Surrey, Cloverdale and Langley minor hockey associations – are now 20-4-6 (won-loss-tied), and will host the Giants for two games next weekend. The two teams face-off tomorrow (Saturday) at 8 p.m. at the South Surrey Arena, with the rematch Sunday at 10:30 a.m. at the George Preston Recreation Centre. ■ Trevor Cox was named the third star of the MML all-star game Friday night, after he netted two goals for Team White, 6-5 winners over Team Blue. Nic Petan, a North Delta resident playing with the Greater Vancouver Canadians in the MML, was the game’s first star. He also scored twice while playing for Team Blue.

Public Information Notice

Highway 99 Northbound Shoulder Bus Lane The Ministry of Transportation & Infrastructure is starting a bridge widening project on Highway 99 northbound at the Serpentine River Bridge. These improvements are part of the Shoulder Bus Lane Project currently underway on Highway 99 that will increase transit capacity, reliability and efficiency for Highway 99. This project will see the bridge widened to accommodate a 4 metre shoulder bus lane on the east side of the structure. During construction there will be a speed limit reduction along this corridor to 60 kilometres per hour on the approaches and exits of the bridge. In addition, there will be slight changes in the alignment of the highway in this area to allow for construction activities. Once implemented, the speed limit reduction is anticipated to be in effect 24 hours a day until project completion. This work is planned to begin mid January and should be completed by spring 2011. For more information please contact Project Manager David Mintak at 604 660-8211 or by e-mail at David.Mintak@gov.bc.ca

Going to Kansas City North Delta’s Jeff Francis signs with the Royals by Rick Kupchuk FOR THE FIRST time

in his Major League Baseball (MLB) career, Jeff Francis will not pitch for the Colorado Rockies. The six-foot-five free agent left-hander from North Delta signed a one-year contract last Friday with the Kansas City Royals, ending a seven-year career in Denver. The 30-year-old was 55-50 (won-loss) in 150 career starts with the Rockies since making his MLB debut in August, 2004. His best season was in 2007, when he led Colorado to a World Series appearance, where they lost in four games. Francis pitched in three playoff games, winning two. Although his a base salary of $2 million for the 2011 season is a decrease from the $5.75 million he earned last season with the Rockies, bonuses could double his salary. After missing the entire 2009 season

Playoffs begin today

Rick Kupchuk THREE TEAMS had pulled away from the pack after the sixth draw at the Scotties B.C. Women’s Curling Championship in Cloverdale. Kelley Law remained perfect, winning her sixth consecutive game with a decisive 8-1 victory over Jill Winters of Nelson Wednesday evening, a contest that lasted just five ends. Law, the runner-up at last year’s Scotties in Penticton, faced her most difficult test earlier in the day when she stole one in the 10th end for a 6-3 win over Duncan’s Roselyn Craig, who was attempting a draw for two to tie the game with her final shot. The loss was the only one of the competition so far for Craig, who is tied with defending champion Kelly Scott of Kelowna for second place at 5-1 (won-loss). Craig rebounded

from the afternoon loss to come from behind and edge Patti Knezevic of Prince George 6-5 Wednesday night. Craig trailed 5-3 after six ends, but ended up with the victory after stealing single points in both the ninth and 10th ends. Scott, who is also 5-1 with the lone loss coming to Law on Tuesday afternoon, was also handed a victory Wednesday night when she stole the winning point in an extra end to defeat Kristy Lewis of Richmond. Four teams advance to a Page playoff which starts tonight (Friday), and three teams are tied for the final playoff position with 3-3 records. Jen Fewster of Prince George scored one in the 10th end to top Adina Tasaka of New Westminster 5-4, a result which left both teams tied for fourth place with Lewis.

The healing sound of music Can the expression and emotion inherent in music provide therapeutic beneﬁts? by Alex Browne

“Right now I’m working with six-month-old clients all the way up to geriatric patients in their 100s,” she said. Music therapy is often the difference between involved, interactive individuals, and those who – for many reasons – are uncommunicative and emotionally closed off, Dibble said. “It can be very rewarding and satisfying,” she said. “I have a job that I love, and get to work with interesting people who share their world with me.” Working with young clients particularly lends itself to spontaneous exploration, depending on the needs of the individual, Dibble said – which also ties in to her own fondness for extemporized music. “What I’m doing is improvisation-based rather than pre-composed songwriting,” she said. “I can improvise with the clients around what the client needs in the moment. It can be very structured in which there is a set list of things to do today, or it can be much more free-form.” Dibble has established her own company, Music For Life, but in the close and supportive field of music therapists she is also allied with such other local providers as Leslie Chan, with whom she does work for Sandy Pelley’s Creative Music Therapy Solutions and Katherine Graff ’s Music Therapy Collective Studio, which created the Semiahmoo House Society’s Rec Rockers and the music-theatre expansion of Semiahmoo House’s Semi Famous Players. A Canadian Association for Music Therapy and a Music Therapy Association of B.C. are doing much to consolidate professional standards and raise awareness of the benefits of the field, but Dibble said there will be a continuing need for political work to build on this. “Music therapy is often put under the umbrella of recreational therapy,” she said. “It’s not yyet seen as an essential health service, and if there are anyy fundingg cuts, recreational funding is the first to go.” But Dibble said she sees this as an exciting time in the evolution of music therapy. “Slowly but surely, we’re getting there,” she said, adding she believes that people’s positive experiences will be key to tipping the scales for universal acceptance. “Once you can experience music therapy and see what it can do, you’re a believer.”

usic hath charms, as 17th century playwright William Congreve said, “to soothe the savage breast, to soften rocks or bend a knotted oak.” Few would argue, from personal experience, that interacting with music can have a huge impact in altering or setting a mood, focusing attention, summoning happy or sad memories, or easing repetitive or stressful tasks. Yet – even with such clear evidence of the power of the medium – we tend to knot our brows when anyone mentions the term ‘music therapy,’ as if we doubt that anything so potentially pleasant could have a serious effect on mental or physical health. But that’s alright, according to music therapist Christine Dibble, who like a growing coterie of local practitioners – many of whom trained together – is happily patient in explaining the principles to the uninitiated. “What I tell people who ask me about music therapy is that I use music to improve the quality of people’s lives,” said the White Rock pianist, guitarist and singer, who is currently awaiting formal accreditation. “And then they say,” she added with a chuckle, “yes, but what do you do?.’” Music therapy is often best understood in terms of goals, Dibble said. “Some of the goals can be things like palliative care, or relaxation, or pain management,” she said. “During my internship, I worked in palliative care in the Marion Hospice at Windermere Community Centre in Vancouver, and I’ve also had experience working with Alzheimer’s and senility. “Music is something that evokes memories for many patients. If I start singing them a song like It’s A Long Way to Tipperary, memories start to come back. It allows them to access part of themselves that may very possibly be lost in their nowadays experience. It enables them to go back in time and remember themselves.” Music therapy can involve p playing patients or clients y gp music – but can also o include their participation as vocalists and instrumentalists umentalists and the collaborating on the creation of new music as a means of expression, Dibble said. The 2002 Earl Marriott arriott grad completed her master’s degree in music therapy last year at Wilfrid Laurier University, iversity, after receiving her bachelor’s degree from om Capilano University in 2009, and Music therapist Christine Dibble works a diploma in music with Tristan Masini Pieralli, 7, on the general studies glockenspiel. from Kwantlen BRIAN GIEBELHAUS / BLACK PRESS Polytechnic in 2004. Recognized as a gifted classical pianist from her elementary school days up through her high school years, Dibble originally had thoughts of being a concert artist, but a stint studying performance and contem-porary music theoryy at the University of Western Ontario convinced her that she did not relish the lifestyle. When she discovered ered the world of music therapy, she realized immediately diately that it was a better fit for her, she said. “It involves two of my greatest passions – helping people and doing music,” she said. aid. Her work, as welll as dealing with seniors, can also involve troubled youth and the very young – including children with developmental delays ays and disabilities and those diagnosed with autistic behaviours, attention-deficit disorder and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. der. All ages can benefi efit from music’s expressive and emotive focus, she said.

Contemporary Indian art showcased Opening reception and artist talk Saturday at the Surrey Art Gallery Black Press A GROUP OF contemporary Indian artists are poised to transform how the public thinks about India at a new exhibit opening at the Surrey Art Gallery this weekend. In Transition: New Art from India presents seven artists who combine sculpture, installation and digital media to interpret the social, political and economic

changes in India. In Transition is presented with the Vancouver Biennale. “This new wave of Indian artists is making a name for themselves internationally based on their innovative approach to art,” says Mayor , Dianne Watts. “We’re very excited to present these artists here in Surrey; the Surrey Art Gallery is committed to reflecting trends in contemporary

art from around the world, while reflecting the diversity of our community here.” The featured artists include Ranbir Kaleka, Reena Saini Kallat, TV Santhosh, Sudarshan Shetty, artist collective Thukral & Tagra and Hema Upadhyay, who present their own spin on Indian life in contemporary times. Traditional Indian miniature paintings are reinvented to reflect today’s India: a mix of urban life, cosmopolitan cities, myth and tradition. And new media art and sculptures combine artistic influences from around the world, resulting in an eclectic, edgy exhibit that challenges how we think of India today. “India is a dynamic place, and its arts scene has developed into something much larger than traditional paintings and Bollywood movies. Artists are adapting, borrowing and responding to the materials and subjects found in their changing urban landscapes,” says

Coun. Mary Martin, chair of the Parks, Recreation and Culture Committee. In Transition: New Art from India opens on Jan. 22 and runs until March 27 at the Surrey Art Gallery, located at 13750 88 Ave. An artist talk and opening reception will be held Jan. 22, 6:39:30 p.m.

…Steady. Stable. Balanced. The housing market in Metro Vancouver is expected to do well in 2011, likely close to the 10-year average with both sales and starts, say local experts including BCREA chief economist Cameron Muir (below right), who predicts a six to eight per cent improvement in home sales this year…[3]

Live in a new Coquitlam home:

Excellence is the norm at Mosaic’s Westwood MAGGIE CALLOWAY

Mosaic Properties has set themselves an extremely worthy goal: to be the best builder of rowhomes and townhomes in British Columbia. The company believes that great architecture combined with the efficient use of space will allow people to live in a neighbourly, civilized and respectful manner. Mosaic’s Westwood project in Coquitlam features exquisite classic Georgian three-level rowhomes that are ideal examples of the company’s commitment to excellence. The location is

superb, with dozens of restaurants in the area, schools, churches, and shopping galore. For commuters to Vancouver, there is no bridge to cross, and for recreation, Westwood is nestled beside protected

forested parks and kilometres of nature trails. “It is very difficult to find a townhome in Coquitlam for the low $300,000s – in fact, it’s unheard of,” says Mosaic Homes’ Jennifer McGavin. “Westwood is a very well thoughtout and well-defined space.” With every new home project, Mosaic tries to find out what it can be doing better. The company revisits homeowners after six to 12 months to find out what is working in their new home and what is not, in a process called the

Mosaic Design Lab. “We learn from every project and are searching for constant improvement,” McGavin says. At Westwood and other new Mosaic projects, however, it’s Mosaic’s attention to detail that stands out – not just in the obvious but in the study of what makes a difference in every home they build. Windows, for example, are hugely important to the overall design and Mosaic understands that. continued on page 3

“At last, we’ve got room to grow.” Erin, Kent and Reid Now that young Reid has arrived, the family is moving from a Yaletown condo to a bigger townhome in Polygon’s Kensal Walk at Windsor Gate in Coquitlam. It’s a perfect fit in a great location. “We’re near schools, shops and parks,” says Kent, “So we can walk to everything, just like we did in Yaletown. Our townhome has a backyard, stainless steel appliances and a third bedroom that’s a home office for now. We’ll be in the Clubhouse pool in the summer, and the guest suites will be great when friends and family come to visit.” “With Polygon’s help we finally found a home where our family can grow.”

Westwood ‘just feels right’

You can still make a ﬁve per cent down payment.”

Housing in 2011: steady as she goes TRICIA LESLIE

It’s 2011: a brand-new year. Out with the old, in with the new. New homes, that is. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation reports that 2010 ended on a strong note in the Vancouver Census Metropolitan Area’s new-home construction sector, with 1,715 housing starts in December. And home prices reached a record high of $505,178 for an average home in B.C. in 2010, according to the B.C. Real Estate Association While record highs or lows are not predicted for 2011, local experts seem to agree that the Metro Vancouver housing market will likely remain fairly stable this year. “In general, the outlook for 2011 – the economy and the housing market – is similar to what we saw in 2010, close to 26,500 home starts, which is a good Jamie Moi year,” says Carol Frketich, CMHC’s B.C. regional economist. “It’s not quite our 10-year average but it’s close to the 10-year average.” Besides, the forecast for 26,500 has been revised from a previous forecast of 25,900, she notes. The housing market is in balanced conditions locally, and looking ahead, Frketich sees continued balance. Both she and BCREA chief economist Cameron Muir see mortgage interest rates as remaining relatively stable for the first half of 2011 as well. Muir also agrees the Vancouver-area housing market is balanced, but says the Interior market is currently tilted in favour of homebuyers. Overall, however, home sales in the province should see an increase. “In general terms, we expect to see improvement in sales activity, around six to eight per cent improvement,” says Muir. “Prices are likely to stay fairly flat.” The record-high average B.C. home price set last year had more to do with the distribution of sales, Muir says, noting there were more luxury homes for sale at the end of 2010. New mortgage lending rules introduced Monday by the Bank of Canada may have a slight effect, in that they will likely erode some purchasing power, he says. Local mortgage broker Jamie Moi notes the changes, which include mortgage amortization periods being reduced from 35 to 30 years and the maximum amount Canadians can borrow to refinance mortgages will go from 90 to 85 per cent, don’t affect the down payment on a home. “You can still make a five per cent down payment,” she says. With Finance Minister Jim Flaherty targeting home-equity loans and lines of credit because some Canadians have been using that money for consumer goods such as boats, cars and flat-screen TVs rather than to build equity into their homes, Moi says the new lending rules are more about reducing Canadian consumer debt.

…off the front: “Westwood is a very well thought-out and well-deﬁned space ... we learn from every project and are searching for constant improvement. We are relentless perfectionists, (something) people will notice when they visit the site (at Westwood, in Coquitlam).” Jenniefer McGavin, Mosaic Homes continued from page 1

On the exterior, they can make for a rich and elegant design if carefully placed; in the interior, the availability of natural light is highly desirable but cannot be manufactured. Mosaic takes the greatest care to carefully and symmetrically line up windows on one floor with the windows on the floors below and above, with adjacent sills and sashes, always ensuring the exterior works well with the interior. “We are relentless perfectionists, (something) people will notice when they visit the site,” McGavin says. “There is a definite sense of design and proportion on the exterior of the home – this evokes a feeling of ‘this just feels right.’” Inside Westwood homes, the feeling is of an open, contemporary living space. The main level boasts nine-foot ceilings, hardwood laminate floors throughout, three-inch wood casings around windows and doors, custom drywall features to define space and thoughtfully placed art niches for displaying the sentimental to the priceless. Kitchens are large and sophisticated, some with central islands, with sleek cabinets.

Bathrooms sport deep soaker tubs and, in select homes, an oversize shower. Overall, Westwood projects substance, elegance and community, making it a great place to purchase a new home. Homes are priced from $319,900. Visit www.mosaichomes.com for more information.

A gala for animal lovers SPCA fundraiser Feb. 5 GUESS WHO’S coming to dinner?

Your beloved pet – at least in spirit, anyway. For $200, you can sponsor a table at the Surrey SPCA’s seventh-annual Animal Lovers’ Gala Dinner and Auction on Feb. 5. The table will be named after your furry, feathered, four-legged or web-footed friend, and a specially designed card with your pet’s photo and profile will grace each of the eight table settings. “It’s a fun way to honour your pet while supporting other animals in need of care in your community,” says SPCA volunteer Sheila Kullar, who is organizing the popular fundraising event. Kullar says sponsorship can even be a family affair. “If you, your family or your friends want to share the cost of sponsorship, we can include their names on the back of your card, too.” This year’s gala is being held at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel and features a buffet meal, plus dozens of unique auction items donated by local businesses. Tickets are $75 or $560 for a table of eight. Call Kullar at 604-574-9809 or visit spca. bc.ca/surreygala for more information and to purchase tickets.

were redeemed by their guardians, while the majority were adopted into new homes. By contrast, 65 per cent of dog guardians redeemed their animals. This startling difference is because few cat guardians bother to identify their cats so they can be returned if lost or make the effort to look for them when they go missing, assuming that they will “show up” some time. In addition to the thousands of lost or abandoned cats who are turned into animal shelters in B.C. each year, thousands more fall victim to starvation, disease, predation and injury. This is a completely preventable tragedy. If your cat doesn’t already have identification I urge you to make it one of your New Year’s resolutions to ensure your pet will have a quick and safe journey home in the event he or she gets separated from your family.
