2 Surrey trustees quit leftleaning slate
‘A lamb among wolves’ The short life and tragic death of Surrey’s Justin Vasey
Only one SCC member remains on school board, city council
by Dan Ferguson
L
ater this year, the first of the four people responsible for the slaying of 14-year-old Justin Vasey in the backyard of an abandoned Surrey house on Feb. 25, 2008 will go before a parole board to apply for early release from jail. Cody Pelletier, Jordan George, Jade Pollard and Danielle WoodSinclair were sentenced in 2009 to prison terms ranging from seven to four-and-a-half years after they pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Some have already been allowed temporary unescorted absences from prison, but none have been granted full parole permitting them to live and work outside prison. Justin Vasey Danielle WoodSinclair, the youngest, was handed the shortest sentence and will be the first to have a parole hearing in April of 2011. Details of the case could not be reported in 2009 because three of the accused were teenagers protected by the Youth Criminal Justice Act. At the time of the killing, Cody Pelletier was 20.

(SCC) members on the Surrey Board of Education have quit the party to join a coalition of trustees made up of members from a broad political spectrum. SCC members Laurie Larsen and Terry Allen quit Laurie Larsen the left-leaning slate Wednesday to join with free-enterprise members of the board, forming a coalition called Surrey Education First.

Surrey sex assault trial underway
‘I just don’t want to
let him go’
Grandparents of nine-year-old victim testify by Sheila Reynolds WHEN HER nine-year-old grand-
daughter came to her in the middle of the night and said someone had been in her room, the woman called 911 right away. Testifying at the trial of Kyle Berkson, the woman said she also immediately noticed two things about the child: her arm was bleeding, and the bathing suit bottom she was wearing was damaged. “Her shorts were cut ... right in the crotch area,” said the grandmother, who has been the girl’s “mom” since the child was seven months old. Berkson, 36, is on trial in Surrey Provincial Court on charges of breaking and entering, sexual interference, invitation to sexual touching and uttering threats. It’s alleged he broke into a Guildford-area home on April 23, 2010 and sexually assaulted a girl in her bedroom. Before the incident, the grandmother testified, her granddaughter liked Barbie dolls and playing video games on websites such as Disney and Kinder Surprise. But she has since changed. “She grew up instantly into an angry teenager,” the woman said. There is a publication ban on any information that could identify the victim. Berkson, his head shaved, with stubble on the chin of his scarred face, sat in the glass prisoner’s box, sometimes listening, sometimes sitting sideways, looking down and fidgeting. The woman told the court she had known Berkson since he was about 12 years old and that the young man regularly visited with a friend who lived in a trailer on her Guildford property. Berkson, she said, had
“She grew up instantly into an angry teenager.” Girl’s grandmother been in her and her longtime partner’s house many times. He had also shared with her he’d had trouble with cocaine in the past. When asked if she recognized a prescription pill bottle with Berkson’s name on it or a small black flashlight that were both found in the girl’s room, the witness said she did not. Earlier in the day, the victim’s grandfather took the stand, saying when the little girl woke him and his partner, he initially thought she had just had a bad dream. He said when police arrived and asked if she recognized the person who had been in her room, the girl mentioned Berkson’s name. The trial continues. The victim, now 10 years old, is expected to testify in court on Friday.

Brenda Michie walks the stretch of 16 Avenue where her husband, Jim Neiss, was killed on Jan. 18.
A widow remembers her ‘one-of-a-kind’ husband Jim Neiss, who was killed last week in a head-on collision with a dump truck by Hannah Sutherland
T
hree days after her husband was killed in a head-on collision with a dump truck while driving to work, Brenda Michie visited the site where he died. There was little traffic in the 19800 block of 16 Avenue last Friday afternoon, save for large tandem trucks “flying by” as Michie drove to the top of the street, got out of her car and walked the stretch of road where her partner of two decades, Jim Neiss, spent his final moments. “I just wanted to do it,” the lifelong Surrey resident said. “Just like I want to see him and I want to touch him. I guess I just don’t want to let him go.” Neiss was driving his Ford Explorer pickup just after 5:30 a.m. Jan. 18 when he was hit by a Sterling dump truck that had crossed over a double-yellow line to pass a small white car. The force of the crash compressed the front section of the Explorer into less than half its width. The larger truck – which was towing a “pup” trailer – was virtually unscathed. Its driver, a 62-year-old Burnaby man, was released without going to hospital. He will likely face charges under provincial traffic regulations and the Canadian Criminal Code once the investigation of the accident is completed, police said. Michie said she went to the crash site and “just had a feel” for what had transpired. “It was awful. It was terrible,” she said of

Norm Gaumont, with the remains of Jim Neiss’ Ford Explorer (in front of dump truck), which was destroyed in a fatal crash at 198 Street and16 Avenue last Tuesday. being there. “I can just see him driving along there and then to be faced with something... I don’t think he had any time at all.” Neiss – who had been a bus driver with the Langley school district since 2003 – always left early for work to avoid the morning rush, Michie said, adding he had been “distressed with 16th” and the increase in traffic and bad driving he’d noticed over the years. “It’s kind of ironic that he would leave early to avoid it and was confronted with it.” Michie said she wants to be part of any efforts to make the road safer. “If we don’t change it, somebody else will die,
and should they go through that? Something needs to change. I don’t know the answer, (but) I want to be part of the group that finds an answer,” she said, noting she plans to focus on the issue in the future. “I’m keeping that on my burner. I’m dealing with Jimmy right now.” Michie, family and friends have been remembering Neiss as a “one-of-a-kind,” strong-willed man who was looking forward to celebrating his 20th anniversary with Michie Feb. 2, and his 60th birthday less than a week later, on Feb. 7. The Langley school district flew its flags at half-staff last week in his honour, and has provided grief counsellors for his co-workers and the children who rode on his bus. Michie’s sister, Maureen McMillan, described Neiss as an opinionated man who loved to tease. He often took the opposite side of a debate so he could “sit back and watch the fun,” she said. His love for colour is evident in family photos taken on White Rock beach, in which Neiss’ bright yellow socks stick out beneath his pant legs. His passion for second-hand treasures is visible in the couple’s South Surrey home, which is decorated with an eclectic collection of thrift store finds. “He was the junkyard dog,” McMillan said. “All the thrift store ladies knew him.” Neiss was one to connect with a person and “see what they’re all about,” Michie said, adding that his many friends have been dealt a great loss.

Whalley: Abandoned house scene of brutal killing Justin Vasey’s companions were far more dangerous than Justin. “He was a lamb among wolves.” Cpl. Dale Carr wanted to “punch someone out” and he walked up to Justin and hit him twice. Jordan joined in, tripping Justin, kicking his legs out. When Justin tried to get away, Cody, Jordan and Danielle grabbed him. Danielle hit Justin with her purse. Then Jade joined the attack. All four kicked Justin, punching him, stomping on him and hitting him with a brick, a pylon and a metal stereo left in the abandoned house as he begged them to stop. Then Cody passed out from the vodka and the violence escalated. Two other teens were present but did not take part in the attack. One, a boy identified in court as J.J. was carrying a knife. Jordan took J.J’s knife and used it to stab Justin. Then Danielle and Jade took the same knife. They talked about the location of organs as they wielded the blade, including the location of the “big artery.” When the teenage girl

made a comment about his father punching First Nations people. As far as investigators could determine, Justin was trying to mimic the trash talk he heard the three teens and Cody Pelletier, all of them aboriginals, express to one another. He didn’t understand the risk. Cody and Jordan talked Justin into climbing up on the roof, where they started jumping on it to try and cave it in. They managed to collapse parts of it. After awhile, Cody and Jordan jumped down, but Justin was afraid. The half-brothers climbed back up and Cody punched Justin once in the face knocking him down. Justin got up and Cody punched him again. Then Jordan grabbed Justin by one arm and tossed him off the roof. They made him chug vodka for about 15 or 20 minutes. Things seemed to be settling down. Then Cody Pelletier announced that he

Pelletier’s half-brother Jordan George was 17. Jade Pollard was 16 and Danielle Wood-Sinclair was 15. But because all were sentenced as adults, the ban on publishing their names was only temporary. Now, with the parole board hearings looming, The Leader has obtained transcripts of their sentencing hearings. The newspaper was also granted access to information gathered by a three-man team of investigators from the Integrated Homicide Investigation team (IHIT) that solved the case. Justin’s friends and family were also contacted. They describe how an unhappy, socially awkward boy tried to be friends with a group of people who turned on him and killed him. “At the time of his death, Justin had just turned 14,” Surrey judge Paul Dohm observed during the teens’ sentencing hearing. “But he was developmentally delayed, had social skills deficit and poor judgment. He had difficulty making and keeping friends.” One IHIT investigator found that Justin operated at a 12-year-old level emotionally. Growing up, it appears Justin didn’t spend much time with kids his own age. He was raised by his grandmother in Scarborough, Ontario after his parents split. A family friend recalls a pleasant, dutiful child who would go with his grandmother to bingo games. “He was such a good little guy,” Monty Mazin said. “So jovial.” Grandmother Maureen declined to be interviewed. Eventually, Justin’s father Jason Vasey, reclaimed his only son and took him to B.C. to raise. However, Justin ended up in foster care after his father, beset by personal problems, decided to do what was best for his son and voluntarily placed him in care. Father and son stayed in touch, however. Jason would visit Justin, and they talked on the phone. An IHIT investigator described a “shrine” of photos of Justin with his dad in the boy’s bedroom. It was a “good placement,” the investigator reported. Justin’s foster mom filed a victim impact statement at the sen-
tencing hearing for the teenagers describing how Justin’s confidence seemed to be improving in the months before his death. He was not an outstanding student, but he made an effort and remained the dutiful, eager-to-please kid who followed house rules and obeyed curfews. About a month before he died, all that changed. He seemed to suddenly spiral into despair, developing an attitude that nothing mattered. Justin began staying out late and his grades plummeted. Then he met a group of older teens that included Jordan George, Jade Pollard and Danielle WoodSinclair. None were students at his school. They were tough kids with horrific backgrounds. Wood-Sinclair, 15, was described in court as a daily user of drugs and alcohol, a runaway at the age of 12 who was convicted of uttering threats against her own father after she took up with a much older, criminal boyfriend. Jade Pollard was 16, an alcoholic runaway with a history of violence. Her mother was a drug addict and she was sexually abused by her half-brother. Pollard had a significant criminal record that included a conviction for assault. Both of the girls had been in and out of foster care. Jordan George, born to an alcoholic, drugaddicted mother, did not have a criminal record, but he did have a history of acting out. He’d been kicked out of several foster homes for violent, drunken behaviour. Jordan’s older halfbrother Cody Pelletier was born addicted to cocaine and Ritalin. Pelletier’s criminal record included convictions for uttering threats and possessing a dangerous weapon. All four were far more damaged and dangerous than the younger, naive Justin, who began tagging along with them in the weeks before his death. “He was a lamb among wolves,” IHIT spokesman Cpl. Dale Carr said. On the evening Justin Vasey died, he was hanging out with a group of young people who began shoplifting some vodka from a local liquor store. They ended up at an abandoned, graffiti-covered single-storey house at 14245 104 Avenue around 5 p.m. At some point, Justin

identified in court as H.M. tried to leave, the others threatened her life. She would later explain that she didn’t try to stop the attack because she was outnumbered. “I’m a f-----g chick,” H.M. told a Facebook forum. “I can’t take on two guys and two girls.” The autopsy results showed Justin was stabbed eight times, four of which were life-threatening, once with enough force to break a rib. His nose was broken, there were eight blunt force injuries to his head and multiple abrasions and bruises. Justin was on the ground, still breathing, when the teens left the scene, dragging the unconscious Cody Pelletier with them. Jordan boasted that the killers “earned their tear,” a gang reference to killing someone. Mounties were initially sent to the Guildford neighbourhood at around 6 p.m. to investigate reports of
suspicious activity. The first officers didn’t see anything at the address given to dispatchers, but a patrol of the area found Cody lying unconscious in a yard a couple of blocks from the initial call. Officers later returned to the original address and found Justin dead in the backyard. Following an undercover police investigation, all four were arrested and charged. The three teens were charged with seconddegree murder but pleaded guilty to the lesser offence of manslaughter. Cody Pelletier was charged with manslaughter and pleaded guilty. He seems to have been the most remorseful. “I remember very little, but enough to haunt my dreams for the rest of my life,” he said at his sentencing hearing. “I should’ve been able to stop it... I was the oldest, I could’ve been the one to say ‘enough’. ”
Justin was laid to rest in block 131, lot 23 of the Boundary Bay Cemetery in Tsawwassen. His battered face was covered and the coffin was sealed for the ceremony, but his father insisted on opening the casket so he could put a lacrosse stick inside. He didn’t explain why. Justin’s foster mother also attended the service. His biological mother could not be located. A small temporary marker was installed. The faded blue-green stamped metal frame has Justin’s name applied with a plastic label maker. It sits atop a foot-long pointed metal stake tapped a few inches into the soil. Temporary markers are used to identify burial sites until a proper permanent gravestone can be installed. Nearly two years after his death, Justin is still waiting for his. dferguson@langleytimes.com

Locked school yard can be a safety issue Get bad I LIVE IN THE neighbourhood of Dr. F.D. Sinclair Elementary School. One recent Saturday afternoon I took my eight-month-old son for some much-needed outdoor fun at the school’s playground. From my knowledge the grounds are open to public from dusk till dawn (with use at your own risk of course). We entered the grounds through an open gate located on 74 Avenue and played for about half an hour. As we were playing I noticed that a pit bull was approaching us with no owner in sight.
The dog had no collar and seemed to have targeted us. It was coming up on us pretty fast so I put my son back in his stroller and attempted to leave the school grounds through the front parking lot area, only to find out that there is absolute no way out. The yard at that end is completely fenced in with six foot fences and all main doors are padlocked. To me, this seems like a major safety issue as there are no signs on the 74 Avenue end of the grounds saying that gates are locked. Thank God the dog seemed to be friendly
and we never got attacked. When I went to the school to ask about this issue they told me that they lock up the yard to prevent parties after hours. I think something should be done about this... either have a way out or lock all gates on the grounds with signs saying the school yard is closed while not in session. We are lucky nothing bad happened, but I don’t want anyone else to be in danger. Keri Harding, Surrey

A street frequented by Delta and Surrey residents on the way to the landfill is 104 Street. This street may be considered vulnerable when you take into consideration that it is a part of the Delta farming community and is used for agricultural reasons. I own a farm on 104 Street and have undertaken the responsibility of adopting a part of the street in order to do my part in caring for the farming community. While cleaning up a part of the street, I have found a shocking amount of litter being disposed of in the ditches which are located on either side of 104 Street. This litter consists of paint cans, televisions, mattresses, sofas and miscellaneous items in black garbage bags. The garbage has been intentionally thrown into the ditches or has fallen out of vehicles due to excessive speeds or insecure loads. This inconsiderate pollution is harmful to the land, animals and water in this agricultural area. The water within these ditches is used for irrigation of our fields,

Stagger road projects for ease of travel AS A long-time resident in Tynehead, I’m often surprised by Surrey’s apparent lack of foresight when it comes to the planning of road improvements. I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen newly paved roads being dug up within months and then left criss-crossed with patches. Current activity on 88 Avenue is another example. A notice of construction on 160 Street says to expect delays until Feb. 28, with intermittent stoppages between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. This coincides with the ongoing widening of 96 Avenue, Fraser Highway and Highway 1 so that traffic will be simultaneously obstructed on
doing my part by caring for and adopting this part of the street. Anand Aujlay
Sheer power ARE NOT THE head honchos in the RCMP actually rewarding
every eastbound corridor leading out of Tynehead and Fleetwood. Why does the city not stagger these projects so that at least one eastbound route is left unobstructed? In the case of Fraser Highway, newly paved lanes remained closed for many months because old telephone poles were left standing in the middle of the lanes. The same thing is now happening on 96 Avenue. Is it not simple common sense that unused telephone poles should be removed before paving the added lanes?
the (video recorded) officer accused of assault in Kelowna by paying him full wages for sitting at home and watching his favourite DVDs, etc.? What kind of message does that coddling send out to the public, especially impressionable youth? Could he not do “desk duty” at this time, at least mopping up the evidence room or something? Furthermore, I find myself concerned about (albeit usually rare cases of) members of the RCMP – and other police force units – who are gratuitously aggressive with some civilians. The most extreme of the “law enforcers” storm into crime suspects’ homes, screaming with guns drawn at the homes’ occupants, all of whom, including infants, can be permanently traumatized from the experience. And on some occasions, these “law enforcers” force their way into the wrong home altogether. I’m convinced that some of these (mostly) men get into such fields of employment for the sheer power trip of it all.

drivers off the road
IT WAS RECENTLY reported that
a dump truck driver was speeding, passing cars on a double solid line, and struck a pick-up truck travelling in the opposite direction. The crash immediately killed the driver of the pick-up truck. The accident occurred on Jan. 18 in Aldergrove. The driver, a 62-year-old male, walked away from the horrific accident. I wonder if he would have been as brave and foolhardy if he was driving a Smart car rather than a dump truck. The man should be charged with negligent driving causing death. A horrific accident was going to take place; it was only a question of when. It might have been a school bus full of children. The penalties for this driving should be at the upper limit. Firstly, because someone was killed, and secondly, because he is a professional truck driver driving a piece of heavy machinery. The man should never drive in this country again. He should also spend time in jai – at least a five-year sentence. He drove in a grossly foolhardy and dangerous manner. He had no respect at all for other human beings on the roadway. What can the average citizen do? Let’s get the bad truck drivers off the road. Whenever you see truck drivers driving dangerously, call 911 and report them to the police. Their foolhardy driving is putting innocent citizens at risk for death and serious injury and should be reported immediately. If you get the licence plate number of the trailer and/or the truck and the name of the company; the employers will be able to determine who the driver was. If the driver is frequently receiving complaints about his driving, I am confident that responsible employers will do the right thing and fire the bad drivers. They should be fired before they do innocent citizens harm. They then can pursue careers where their disrespect for human life will not constitute a disadvantage. Jim Tucker, Surrey

Canadian Union of Public Employees local 402 (which represents City of Surrey workers), said the decision was difficult at first. However, the more thought she gave it, the more the move felt right. Larsen remembers expecting partisan battles when she was first elected under the SCC banner in November 2008. But that didn’t happen. She found some of the trustees who leaned towards a different side of the political spectrum were extremely helpful. “We just came together and decided we really
do work well together,” Larsen said Wednesday. Larsen and Allen join Trustees Shawn Wilson, Reni Masi and Pam Glass. Wilson said the idea emphasizes what already occurs at the school board table. “There’s no backstabbing and knife-wielding at our board meetings,” Wilson said. SCC Trustee Ijaz Chatha was invited to join the group but declined. Surrey Board of Education chairperson Laurae McNally will remain an independent representing White Rock.
The SCC is now reduced to Chatha on the board of education and Coun. Bob Bose on Surrey council. SCC president Stephanie Ryan called the departures a “betrayal of values” held within the party. She said the two have joined the “other side” which hasn’t done anything to remedy the increase of portables in Surrey or pressure the province for more funding. “We think it’s a mistake for them to join a team that hasn’t gotten anything done for education in Surrey,” Ryan said.

MacKenzie Sawmill employs more than 70 people, however there were no injuries reported. An employee at the scene said they were just installing an “edger” (a machine that breaks down wood). He was unable to say whether that was the source of the fire. A representative with the company declined to comment because of the ongoing investigation by the fire department.

Surrey smoking ban on hold – for now Staff to examine the implications of smoke-free parks, beaches by Kevin Diakiw
LEADER FILE PHOTO
Last week, Surrey’s Parks, Recreation and Culture Committee unanimously called for a ban on smoking on all parks and beaches in the city. A bylaw is still under consideration.
A SMOKING ban in Surrey has been temporarily stalled while city staff examine the potential impacts of such a bylaw. Last week, Surrey’s Parks, Recreation and Culture Committee unanimously called for a ban on smoking on all parks and beaches in the city. Coun. Mary Martin, chair of the committee and head of the Mayor’s Task Force on Health, felt the idea would pass easily through the committee and council. “Council felt it was important for them to receive a corporate report, so that they could fully understand the
implications and how we were going to enforce the bylaw,” Martin said Tuesday. Martin said for the first few months, bylaw officers will ask people to butt out, but will hold back on fining them. “They’ll tell you what the implications are, they’ll tell you there’s a bylaw,” Martin said. But if you’re caught later, you will get a $200 fine. While she understands council’s concerns, Martin wanted to see the recommendation endorsed on Monday. “I really wanted to see it pass,” Martin said. “But I understand it’s important for council to get the full report and understand it.”
Coun. Bob Bose said he was extremely frustrated to see the recommendations go back to staff. “It’s ill-advised,” said Bose. He wants council to adopt a strong policy position, educate the public if necessary, then enforce the bylaw. “What is council standing for, are they or are they not opposed to smoking in public places?” he asked. “It’s frustrating as heck for me.” He described the parks proposal as an important public policy position and “you better be clear about where you’re going.” The corporate report will be back before council on Feb. 7. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Cloverdale mall plan supported by public
Craig Lochhead, of the Townline Group of Companies, says the philosophy behind the development is to create an urban village that promotes walking, with small businesses and residences sharing the area. EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER
Response? ‘Bring it on’ by Colin Oswin THE PUBLIC got its first good look at plans for the site of the old Cloverdale mall last week, and the response was positive. Developer TL Housing Solutions hosted an open house on Jan. 18 at the Cloverdale Legion to show off its plans for the site. Roughly 120 people attended, and TL Housing Vice-President Craig Lochhead says the response from the public was overwhelmingly upbeat. In an interview after the event, Lochhead said the overriding sentiment from Cloverdale residents was: “Great job, now get on with it.”
“People at the meeting were already trying to figure out which part of the development they wanted to move into.” Craig Lochhead The development will see the old mall at 57 Avenue and 175 Street and the surrounding parking lot torn down (estimated demolition start date: Feb. 8) and replaced by a mix of commercial and residential units known as Cloverdale West Village. Lochhead said the philosophy behind the development is to create an urban village that promotes walking, with small businesses and residences sharing the area. “People at the meeting were already trying to figure out which part of the development they wanted to move into,” he said.
Construction on the Village’s first phase is expected to get underway later this year. Phase one will consist of a single wood-frame five-storey building with 22,000-sq.-ft. of commercial space, an underground parking lot and 100 residential units, including one-bedroom, one bedroom-plus-den and two-bedroom suites. The structure will take up the eight-acre site’s southwest quadrant. The development is expected to supplement Cloverdale’s existing town centre by bringing in new amenities for current residents and new customers for the existing businesses. “Cloverdale’s main street is already a great place, the new development will add a little bit of energy,” Lochhead says. Phase one will include a new club for the Cloverdale Legion. At 10,000-sq.-ft., it will be the same size as the current branch. As part of a land swap deal, the Legion will own the new club outright in exchange for the land where the current club sits now. Glen Thomsen, chair of the Legion’s newbuilding committee, says the club will be able to stay open in their current location during the construction process and essentially move across the street when the new building is ready. “It’s a good change, which will help ensure the Legion is in Cloverdale for the next 60 years,” he said. The Legion will have the opportunity to own a $2-million mortgage on 12,000-sq.-ft. of additional commercial retail space. Thomsen said the Legion hopes to fill the retail space with banks, medical clinics, retail outlets or small businesses looking to See MALL / Page 14

doors for good next month. The Cloverdale Antique Mall in Clover Square Village is going out of business at the end of February. Business partner Tim Garrett said the mall is closing due to an increase in rent. The mall’s closure not only affects Garrett’s livelihood, but also his employees, the 40 full-time antique dealers who run their businesses there, and more than 300 individuals who use the mall’s consignment service. Bill Reid, executive director of the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce, said the mall is one of Cloverdale’s biggest attractions, bringing in shoppers from across the Lower Mainland. He described the mall’s imminent closure as a sad state of affairs. “It’s an incredible asset,� he said. “It’s been a tourist attraction for 12 years.� In the past, Cloverdale was home to more than a dozen antique dealers. After the Cloverdale Antique Mall and Red Barn Antiques – another Cloverdale institution in the process of shutting down – both close up shop only two dealers will remain. For the immediate future, Garrett said he will have a major sale to clear out all of his inventory. Looking farther ahead, Garrett doesn’t have any plans. He’s not sure what he will do after the mall closes. “I’ve had my head in this for so long, I can’t give any thought to what my head will look like without it,� he said. The Cloverdale Antique Mall would have marked its 12th anniversary on March 1. editor@cloverdalereporter.com
Mall: 15 months of construction From page 13 relocate. Another option would see the commercial property leased to TL Housing, which would bring in businesses to the site with sub-leases on behalf of the Legion. Construction on phase one is expected to take 15 months, wrapping up in late 2012 or early 2013. Lochhead says phases two and three – set for the southeast quadrant of the site – will be weighted more toward residential space than commercial, with 5,000-sq.-ft. for retail shops and 140 townhomes (77,000-sq.-ft.) built on top. Phase four – which will take up the northern half of the site – will have a similar commercial/residential mix, but the exact ratio will be determined by the commercial real estate and housing markets closer to the start of construction. In total, the
project will bring between 50,000 and 60,000-sq.-ft. of retail space to Cloverdale, as well as 400-450 housing units. Lochhead expects between 600 and 700 people will move into the area as a result. Lochhead says the fastest possible completion time for the entire project is between five and six years, while the slowest would be seven or eight years. Lochhead says a building permit could be issued as early as October, and that would mean construction could start late that month or early in November. With the project finally coming together, Thomsen says Cloverdale is at a turning point and the future for the city centre looks bright. “Cloverdale is going through a revitalization... it’s becoming another centre between Langley and Surrey Centre in Guildford,� he said. editor@cloverdalereporter.com

More than 850 Kwantlen students signed a petition to have the referendum held at the same time as the Kwantlen Student Association’s (KSA) board of directors election on Feb. 6. Originally, the referendum was scheduled for March. The U-Pass gives students at participating schools access to transit for a lower-than-usual monthly fee. It boasts a $5 monthly gym membership,

EMPLOYEES of the Surrey School District will
receive no increase this year for their car mileage expenses. School trustees voted last week to maintain the current reimbursement rate of 51 cents per kilometre – the amount that’s been in place for several years now. The rate is two cents lower than that paid to City of Surrey employees and a penny less than the B.C. School Trustees’ Association. Each year, the Department of Finance and Government of Canada reviews and announces the prescribed rates for automobile operating expenses. The school district generally sets its rate one cent below the Government of Canada rate, which is currently 52 cents per kilometre.

TransLink inks deal for cards, turnstiles by Jeff Nagel TRANSLINK has signed a
contract to bring smart cards to the transit system and turnstiles to SkyTrain. Winning bidders Cubic Transportation Systems and IBM Canada will work with TransLink to finalize the design and schedule. The system is to activated in 2013. TransLinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project budget is $171 million, with $70 million in contributions coming from the federal and provincial governments. About $84 million goes to Cubic for the capital cost of the operating system, the supply and installation of the faregates, smart card vending machines, readers and related equipment. Much of the remaining budget is to retrofit SkyTrain stations to accommodate turnstiles. The contract also includes 10 years of operating and maintenance. The new system is expected to improve efficiency, effectiveness and security of the transit network â&#x20AC;&#x201C; deterring fare evasion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as well as providing a more convenient single card payment method.
Housing starts rebounded in 2010 NEW HOME starts in Metro Vancouver soared 82 per cent last year, a strong rebound after 2009â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sharp downturn of construction activity amid the financial crisis. Builders started 15,217 new homes in 2010, up from 8,339 in 2009. More than two-thirds of the new homes were multi-family units. Vancouver, Burnaby and Coquitlam saw big jumps in condo construction activity.
The Tri-Cities actually had the biggest percentage jump in housing starts in the region, up 174 per cent from 2009. Surrey had 1,915 single detached house starts, by far the most in the region and about 55 per cent more than the previous year.

Highway 99 bus lane under construction A NORTHBOUND bus
lane under construction on the shoulder of Highway 99 between King George Highway and Highway 91 should be open this spring. The six-kilometre lane promises to speed transit riders past congestion on Highway 99. The lane will align with other HOV lanes, giving buses a priority lane from South Surrey most of the way to Bridgeport Station on the Canada Line, cutting the White RockRichmond travel time by bus to less than 30 minutes. A similar shoulder bus lane from Westminster Highway to Bridgeport Road is already open. Work continues on more lanes north and south of the George Massey tunnel in both directions. A total of $110 million is being spent on transit and road upgrades on the Highway 99 corridor.

ICBC rapped for videotaping on road Judge questions safety of investigators’ tactics when tailing driver by Jeff Nagel IT’S BAD enough ICBC
B.C. Supreme Court Justice Nancy Morrison last month awarded Ron Madill $760,000 for damages and lost future earnings stemming from the 2004 accident on Clearbrook Road, where Madill was a passenger in a vehicle that was hit by another car.
ICBC hired private investigators who videotaped Madill for hours at a time on numerous occasions between 2005 and 2010. But Morrison concluded the videos did little to undermine his case and then noted much of the recording
happened while investigators were driving in traffic, tailing Madill on road trips all over the Lower Mainland and to the Okanagan. “The investigators testified they drove with one hand on the wheel and the other hand operating the video

investigators relentlessly videotaped an Abbotsford man in a fruitless attempt to reduce the payout he was due after being badly hurt in a car crash. But was it safe for
the surveillance spooks to videotape him onehanded while driving on busy streets and highways at the same time? That’s the question raised by a judge that now has the insurance corporation backpedalling.

without due care and attention. Madill said he can’t comment on the case because ICBC is now appealing the judgment and he doesn’t want to risk a lengthy delay in receiving his payout. But he was critical of the corporation’s investigation practices. “ICBC’s conduct in handling people isn’t in the interest of the people they insure,” he said. “It’s in the interest of their bank accounts.” Before the accident, Madill was an avid motorcyclist, pilot, gardener, skier and skydiver. His head injury, which left him with headaches, vision and balance problems, means he likely won’t be able to keep his pilot’s licence or trucking licence. He’s had to ride a trike rather than the two-wheeled Harley he had before and he hasn’t skied since the crash. Although videos shot on 12 different days were entered in court, they make up a small slice of hundreds of hours that were recorded of Madill, his family and neighbours. The corporation made no apology for hounding Madill or making extensive use of surveillance in other investigations. “We are dedicated to protecting our customers and their premium dollars against fraud and exaggerated claims,” Jan Vrem said. “We will not sit back and simply pass those costs on to our customers.” ICBC would not specify how much it spent surveilling Madill. But the corporation spends $8 million a year on private investigation services, which include video monitoring.

camera, up at the side of their head, to allow them to view through the camera what they were taping,” the judge stated in her decision in the case. “That continues to be their practice today, according to at least one of the investigators, which was interesting, considering from whom they receive their instructions, a corporation dedicated to road safety.” ICBC officials now say they’ve ordered all contracted investigators to cease such tactics, which violate ICBC guidelines requiring they drive safely and obey traffic laws. “We don’t think driving with a video camera with one hand and steering with the other is in compliance with those guidelines,” spokesman Mark Jan Vrem told Black Press. “It’s not a safe way to operate a vehicle.” Since ICBC’s private investigators work alone and not in pairs, it’s not clear how ICBC could have expected them to do anything but use a handheld camera while driving solo. Jan Vrem said the private investigation company ICBC uses had indicated it is installing dash-mounted cameras, which were to be in operation by this month. He said the videos recorded while driving happened before B.C.’s distracted driving laws took effect in early 2010, although court evidence suggests it continued through much of last year. Video cameras aren’t on the list of handheld electronic devices drivers are banned from using under the new law, Jan Vrem said, but he noted their use could amount to driving

Heed risks losing seat Elections BC investigating campaign spending by Tom Fletcher FORMER pubic safety
minister Kash Heed went over the election spending limit in his 2009 campaign in Vancouver-Fraserview, according to court documents produced Tuesday by the NDP opposition. After an Elections BC audit discovered expenses over the limit by $4,135.70, acting Chief Electoral Officer Craig James made several demands for updated financial information on the campaign, the documents show. In a letter to Heed Dec. 2, James granted a final extension and warned Heed his next step is to recommend the seat be vacated if he doesn’t comply, or get court permission not to. A special prosecutor is still reviewing the case, after charges of Election Act violations were laid against two of Heed’s campaign officials related to unauthorized campaign

Vancouver-Fraserview MLA Kash Heed resigns as public safety minister last year after election spending violations were found. pamphlets distributed to voters in VancouverFraserview. On Christmas Eve, Heed’s lawyer applied to the B.C. Supreme Court, asking for relief from a demand he file updated financial information. In an affidavit, Heed says he depended on his official agent Barinder
Singh Sall and financial agent Satpal Johl to handle campaign funds and comply with the rules. Sall, Johl and Dinesh Khanna, whose print shop produced the anonymous brochures, were charged in May 2010 with violating the Election Act. Sall and Khanna also face
Criminal Code charges for obstruction of justice and creating a false document, while Johl is charged with a single count of making a false election finance report. Interim NDP leader Dawn Black released the documents at the legislature Tuesday. She called on Heed and the B.C. Liberal Party to follow the same election rules, and file the new information demanded by Elections BC. Heed should “show some respect for the people of his community” and either comply with the rules or resign his seat, Black said. Heed has not commented publicly since RCMP search warrant applications were made public this month, alleging that Heed didn’t tell investigators the whole story when he was interviewed about the campaign brochures and how they were paid for. The documents do not indicate if the excess expenses are related to the brochures, or some
other expenditure of the campaign. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Falcon adds MLA support Ministers Shirley Bond and Pat Bell join team by Tom Fletcher SURREY-Cloverdale MLA Kevin Falcon has added two more highprofile endorsements to his campaign for the B.C. Liberal leadership, as Prince George-area cabinet ministers Shirley Bond and Pat Bell pledged their support. Shuswap MLA George Abbott added his 17th endorsement from sitting MLAs Monday, as West Vancouver-Capilano MLA Ralph Sultan joined his team. Falcon’s total stands at 15 current MLAs. At his announcement in Prince George Monday, Falcon emphasized the significance of Bell, minister of forests, lands and mines, and Bond, minister of transportation. Falcon said he’s grateful for their support, “and the organization they bring to the table, because I can tell you they are highly respected and supported, not just in the north but in virtually every part of rural British Columbia.” Bond noted that while Falcon hails from Metro Vancouver, he has paid attention to rural B.C. “When Kevin was minister of transportation, he didn’t just care about Prince George,” Bond said. “He cared about McBride, he cared about Valemount, and I can tell you he’s even been to Dunster.” Sultan, an engineer and former bank economist, praised Abbott’s small business experience. “What stands out for me is that George has owned and operated his own business and met payroll,” Sultan said. Former deputy premier Christy Clark hasn’t added any caucus support since being endorsed by BurnabyLougheed MLA Harry Bloy when she announced her leadership bid. Abbotsford West MLA Mike de Jong and VancouverLangara MLA Moira Stilwell have not found any support among fellow MLAs. MLAs who haven’t endorsed anyone are Finance Minister Colin Hansen, Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid, Agriculture Minister Ben Stewart, Science and Universities Minister Ida Chong, Richmond East MLA

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
Rail slide Amtrak cancellations
Hot chocolate recall warning Black Press
Black Press THE OCEAN PARK BLUFF has failed for the sixth
time this winter, dumping mud and trees on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) rail line and causing a further 48-hour cancellation of Amtrak service between Vancouver and Seattle. The slide occurred around 3 p.m. Monday, delaying a freight train with empty coal cars. BNSF crews had removed trees from the track by 5:30 p.m. allowing resumption of freight service, but Amtrak confirmed passenger rail service was suspended until 3:30 p.m. Wednesday (Jan. 26) as a precaution. Rail-relocation advocate Don Pitcairn noted Amtrak service has been cancelled for a total of 10 days in the past five weeks due to slides on the bluff. newsroom@surreyleader.com

Surrey’s Jordan White gets surprise call from San Jose Sharks
NHL backup for a night by Rick Kupchuk HE HAS started every game for the University of B.C. (UBC) Thunderbirds this season. But for goaltender Jordan White, the most memorable game of the season will be the one where he sat as a backup. The Surrey Minor Hockey product was on the bench for the San Jose Sharks last Thursday (Jan. 20) at Rogers Arena for their National Hockey League game against the Vancouver Canucks. Antero Nittymaki, who usually plays behind San Jose starter Antti Niemi, was injured during the pre-game skate the day of the game. Without time to fly in a replacement, the Sharks called over to UBC, asking for a fill-in. “The coach (Milan Dragocevic) called me into his office at practice, and told me what was going on,” Jordan said. “He actually offered my services to them before he even asked me.” White Jordan White was quickly signed to a one-day amateur tryout contract – which meant he would not get paid for the game – and a few hours later was on his way to the Westin Bayshore in Vancouver to meet the Sharks. “The players were great, they just told me to relax, have fun. And I did,” said White. “I spent most of the warmup just looking around. When I was stretching, I looked down and saw (Canuck goalie Roberto) Luongo, and watched the Sedins (Henrik and Daniel) pass the puck around.” Other than a few minutes in the warmup, White never saw the ice during the contest. He knew in
“I spent most of the warmup just looking around.”
COURTESY RICH LAM / NHL
Jordan White gets a glove on a shot during a pregame warmup last week at Rogers Arena in Vancouver. The Surrey Minor Hockey product was an emergency backup goalie for the San Jose Sharks during their NHL game against the Vancouver Canucks. advance he would only play if Niemi was injured and unable to continue, but unlike many nervous goaltenders in his position, he was ready to jump at the chance. “I would have loved to have gone in, I would have relished the opportunity,” he said. “But it didn’t happen. (Alex) Burrows fell on Niemi and I wondered, but he got
up pretty quick.” Not nervous about playing in the NHL, White was a little more apprehensive about doing a nationally televised post-game interview on TSN. “I’ve been playing hockey for a while, and at every level there’s the same routine you go through,” said White. “Doing TV is different, try-
ing to hear the questions through an ear-piece, making sure you don’t mumble. It’s different than when I was in Junior and we’d do the quick radio hit.” White, who has a 9-7-4 (wonlost-overtime loss) record with the Thunderbirds, did learn something from his brief stint in the professional ranks.
“All the players are really calm, both the veterans and the younger guys,” he said. “Even if it doesn’t go the right way, nobody gets too down. They keep an even keel, nobody gets too high, nobody gets too low. “And they always look like they’re having fun. That’s different than a lot of professions.”

Surrey soccer squad blanks Columbus
ICST PEGASUS con-
tinued its climb up the Premier Division standings last weekend, blanking Columbus FC 4-0 in a Vancouver Metro Soccer League game last Friday night at Newton Athletic Park. Pegasus, which began the season with just two wins in its first 11 games, is on a 7-1-1 (won-tiedloss) run and in sixth place in the 14-team league. Ryan Powell, Diaz Kambere, Sahil Sandhu and Niko Marcina were the goal scorers for Pegasus, while Amar Dhinsa earned the shutout. Pegasus will be in New Westminster tomorrow (Saturday) to play the Sapperton Rovers. Pegasus was one of three Surrey teams to post victories last weekend. The Surrey United Firefighters maintained their slim one-point atop the Premier Division, blasting Sapperton 5-0 at Cloverdale Athletic Park. Andrew Proctor with two goals, Steve Kindel, Angus Burke and Cam Wilson netted the United goals, helping Surrey to its sixth straight win. United has a 15-2-3 record, and a slim lead over the 14-4-2 Coquiltam Metro Ford Wolves. They will be on the road to play the Richmond FC Hibernians tomorrow afternoon. The other two local teams in the Premier Division clashed headto-head Sunday night at
Newton Athletic Park, where Akal FC eked out a 2-1 win over the Punjab Hurricanes. Cam Hundal gave the Hurricanes the lead after a half hour of play, but B.J. Rockson and Desmond Tachie replied for Akal. The win moved the
4-6-10 Akal crew to within a point of the 5-411 Hurricanes, who are in 11th place. Akal FC will play Croatia SC in Vancouver Sunday, while the Hurricanes are at home at Newton Athletic Park against the last place Serbian White Eagles.

two years. On Monday, the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sports ruled that Butschler interfered with CCES officials who had attempted to drugtest three of his players after a Sept. 11 B.C. Junior Football game in Kamloops. Butschler – who’d coached 12 years with the Rams – did not appeal the decision “because he doesn’t want to bother with having to hire a lawyer,” said Querin, adding that he knew of the CCES investigation in Butschler’s action, but was surprised to hear of the two-year suspension. Butschler was not available for comment. According to Querin, CCES officials approached Butschler after the Sept. 11 game – which the Rams lost – and asked to take blood samples of three players. While drug testing in junior football is not uncommon, Querin said the request for blood was a surprise to Butschler, who held his players from testing while he made a phone call to make sure the right process was being followed. In the end, the players were tested, but, according to Querin, the 30-minute delay was enough for the CCES to

interfered, it’s completely false. “No one told us they’d be taking blood, and Chris found it unconstitutional, and he wanted to take the time to make sure things were being done right. He just wanted some clarification.” While Butschler had planned to step away from his head-coaching duties at the end of the year regardless of the CCES ruling, Querin said what upsets him the most is that the suspension could potentially sully Butschler’s reputation as a top-notch football coach. Under his leadership, the Rams – whose players range in age from 18 to 23 – have never
missed the playoffs. “To have 20 years of coaching boil down to something like this is just an absolutely atrocity,” Querin said. “Chris has coached in this league for years and always complied with the drug tests, and I hope people realize how good he is to these kids and how much he cares. “I’m so fed up with (the CCES). They made an example of him.” The Rams president also took issue with the CCES for its testing policies, which selects players at random for testing. “It’s anything but random. If you saw the players they tested, it’s pretty obvious – it’s targeted,” he said.

Hawks lose a pair, Devils slump continues fall from first place Third straight loss for PIJHL team Giants complete a season sweep by Rick Kupchuk THE END OF their 15-game unbeaten streak has cost the Valley West Hawks the lead in the B.C. Hockey Major Midget League (MML). The Hawks were swept by the Vancouver Giants in a two-game series last weekend, a pair of victories that vaulted the Giants one point up on Valley West atop the 11-team provincial league. Needing only a split to remain in first place, the Hawks twice took one-goal leads in the first game, played Saturday night at the South Surrey Arena. James Neil opened the scoring for Valley West, and after the Giants tied the contest early in the second period, the Surrey forward added his second of the game for a 2-1 Hawks lead. The Giants tied the contest before the period was over, and netted the winner seven minutes into the third.
Vancouver jumped to a 4-0 lead after one period in game two Sunday morning at the George Preston Recreation Centre in Langley. Kevan Kilistoff of Langley was in on all three Valley West goals, scoring twice in the second period, and assisting on Surrey forward Mark McLellanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal midway through the third. At 20-6-6 (won-lost-tied), the Hawks are one point back of the Giants, who have two games in hand and swept the season series with Valley West. Of the six losses this season, Valley West has dropped four to the Giants. Valley West will face the ninthplace Fraser Valley Bruins for two games next weekend, facing off Saturday night in Abbotsford and Sunday in Chilliwack. The Bruins and Hawks tied both games of their two-game series in Langley Oct. 20-31, playing to 1-1 and 3-3 draws.

by Rick Kupchuk THEY RALLIED from a two-goal deficit to tie the conference leaders after 40 minutes, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough for the North Delta Devils to avoid a third consecutive loss. The Pacific International Junior Hockey League team fell 3-2 to the Delta Ice Hawks Tuesday night in Ladner. After hitting the midway point of the season with a 15-7-1 (won-loss-overtime loss) record â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and in a threeway race for first place in the
Tom Shaw conference â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Devils are just 2-8-2 since Dec. 5. At 21-15-4. They have slipped to fourth place in the five-team group, but have clinched a playoff berth. The Ice Hawks got goals from Cody Fidgett and Aaron Merrick to take a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes, before the visitors came back to even the score. Marco Finucci scored on a penalty shot 30 seconds into the second period, then assisted on Adam Nishiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tally with 16 seconds left in the
frame, sending the teams into the third period tied 2-2. Mitchell Pacey of the Ice Hawks netted the winner 31 seconds in. The Ice Hawks outshot North Delta 33-24, holding the Devils to just five third period shots. The Devils will host the Port Moody Black Panthers tomorrow (Saturday) at 6:45 p.m. at the Sungod Arena. The Panthers are in second place in the Harold Brittain Conference with a 19-14-6 mark. sports@surreyleader.com

No regrets Documentary filmmaker turns camera on himself to inspire others to follow their dreams by Sheila Reynolds
W
hat did you dream of as a child? Being a firefighter? A rock star? Maybe a hockey player or dancer? What are you doing now? They are questions Patrick Stark started thinking about when he turned 40 nearly two years ago – and a concept he’s turning into a feature documentary, One Life, No Regrets. As a kid growing up in a small-ish town in Northern B.C., Stark had a dream. Trouble was, he couldn’t tell anyone about it. It was the 1970s and there wasn’t a whole lot for a kid in Dawson Creek to do for entertainment. There was one TV channel. And there were two movie theatres in town. Stark remembers the highlight of his Grade 2 year was when his brother took him to an evening movie. The first film he saw was Jaws. That night, he knew he wanted to be in the movie business. But it was an aspiration he couldn’t share. “Everyone would have found that hilarious... completely unbelievable.” At the time, there was no film industry in B.C., so anyone wanting to get into movies would have had to head south to Hollywood. It seemed like a silly, unrealistic idea. So Stark went to college to study to be a teacher like his dad. But one day, while walking in Vancouver, he stumbled across a film set. He asked some people standing around what they were doing, and the next day, made a beeline to a talent agency and signed up to be a movie extra. His first job was on Mystery Date with Ethan Hawke. It was the beginning of his career, which saw him climb through the ranks, first as an extras Patrick Stark wrangler, then casting director, and eventually, assistant director. His training ground was on the set of X-Files. “My film school was there,” Stark says. “I learned things from asking questions.” He then produced his own film – Tilt, a modern version of Don Quixote – with Peace Arch News editor Lance Peverley, who had already written the script. The 30-minute short got done and did relatively well, screening at a couple of film festivals. Stark’s career really started rolling. He felt he had achieved his childhood dream. Then he turned 40. And he realized there might be more. “When I’m an old man, will I be thrilled to have pursued the film game and taken it as far as it can go, or are there other things?” He thought about what the wildest and craziest thing he could do. How about singing in front of a stadium full of people? It was something he had an intense fear of, which was exactly why he needed to do it.
“Fear prevents most people from doing the things they most want to do.”

“Fear prevents most people from doing the things they most want to do.” At first, Stark thought, “it’s never going to happen.” Then he began brainstorming ways to make it happen. With a lifelong fear of singing in front of anyone, even his family, he set out to achieve his ultimate experience: singing on stage with U2. And that meant turning the camera on himself. In 2009, armed with a professional back-up band and the lyrics to four songs, he set up a stage outside BC Place the day before a scheduled U2 concert, hoping to gain the attention of the world-famous band. It didn’t happen. So he started from scratch, booking a vocal lesson, then busking on the street, and then seeking advice from professional musicians such as Ra McGuire, Al Harlow, Jim Byrnes and Paul Hyde. “It was a crash course in Rock Star 101,” laughs Stark, who only recently moved from North Delta to Vancouver. A couple of weeks ago, the dad-of-two furthered the process, sitting down with writer and composer Sean Hosein to write a song and make a music video. Now halfway through making his film, Stark is invigorated by being out of his comfort zone “every day” and facing his fears. And the genuine nature of the experience is adding an authentic and personal flavour that people seem to be able to relate to. The film’s trailer was posted on YouTube a month ago and has already had nearly 10,000 views. Filming the documentary will culminate in June when U2 has a concert scheduled in Seattle. Returning to the point from which he began two years ago, Stark will again attempt to get the band’s attention by performing a live show in the street. And it will be the end of the movie whether he makes it on stage with U2 or not. “The whole point is you never know until you try,” he says. “It doesn’t matter whether you’re trying to be a rock star for a day or a ballerina. The journey feels even more exciting than the thought of actually getting there.”

…Take a look at the taxes, first. “If (government) is serious about reducing the consumer debt, they should look at mitigating the tax load that all levels of government place on new homes.”…[3]
New lending rules prompt questions on new-home tax If the government really wants to reduce Canadian consumer debt, it should look at reducing the tax load on new homes. Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association president and CEO Peter Simpson says it would be a good idea for government to review new-home taxes, after Finance Minister Jim Flaherty introduced more new lending rules on Canadian mortgages last week – the third time he has done so in three years. Simpson notes a 2009 Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation study conducted before the HST was introduced shows purchasers in a Metro Vancouver municipality pay the highest percentage
of government-imposed charges on a median-priced home. An example in the CMHC study highlights that a $567,207 new home in Surrey means the homeowner pays $108,050 in continued on page 3

iving in White Rock means more than just purchasing a home here. It’s about buying into a coveted seaside community that celebrates its unique, village-like flavour in a dynamic, yet close-knit way. It’s about being part of a place where you belong. And the beaches and views? Beautiful bonuses.
TRICIA LESLIE
Sandy beaches, stunning sunsets and fair weather. It can be hard to find a new home in the seaside city of White Rock, where the beaches and views are just some of the advantages of living in such a vibrant, close-knit community. With a population of 18,250, the oceanside city’s property values have “steadily increased due to White Rock’s attractive setting and amenities,” according to the city’s website. But one new home development gives homebuyers the chance to own a new condominium home with a White Rock address and enviable views for reasonable prices: Regency Court. “We are the only new woodframe construction in White Rock,” notes real estate agent Stewart Peddemors. Featuring four-storey lowrise woodframe construction, the stylish homes are designed with creative, open floorplans that maximize the living space in every unit. Located on Roper Avenue between Merklin and Best streets, the chic col-

taxes, fees and levies (and that’s GST only) – 19.05 per cent of the total sale price of the home. Vaughan, Ont. came in second at 18.86 per cent, while the lowest in the country was Whitehorse, Yukon at 4.7 per cent. “If (government) is serious about reducing the consumer debt load, they should look at mitigating the tax load that all levels of government – federal, provincial, regional and municipal – place on new homes,” says Simpson. “People should live within their means. First-time homebuyers should buy what they can afford and existing homeowners should be responsible when dipPeter Simpson ping into their home equity for other purchases,” he says, and adds the new rules will probably have a greater impact in this region than anywhere else in Canada, as “we have the country’s highest home prices.” In fact, home prices reached a recordhigh of $505,178 for an average home in B.C. in 2010, according to the B.C. Real Estate Association. The new lending rules will come into effect March 18. They are: Q Mortgage amortization periods will be reduced from 35 to 30 years. Q The maximum amount Canadians can borrow to refinance their mortgages will be lowered from 90 per cent to 80 per cent of the value of their home. Q The government will withdraw its insurance backing on lines of credit secured on homes, such as home equity lines of credit. The new rules are intended to ensure Canadians don’t slip into unmanageable debt. Simpson is pleased the new regulations don’t affect the down payment threshold on homes or current historically low mortgage rates, but emphasizes government-imposed fees are already extreme, and that first-time buyers will likely be the most affected. “There’s at least four fingers in the tax pie and only one taxpayer,” he says. “My biggest piece of advice to homebuyers would be to go to a lending institution to get pre-approved for a mortgage and then look at homes in that price range, comfortable in the fact that they will be able to afford them.” He notes the GVHBA is hosting its 17th annual First-Time Home Buyers Seminar on March 22, an event featuring a wealth of homebuying and mortgage information that typically attracts up to 850 prospective homebuyers (register at www.gvhba.org). Local mortgage broker Jamie Moi agrees that first-time homebuyers will likely be the most affected by the new rules, and urges potential purchasers to get their applications for financing to a lender – now. For example, Moi says, a young couple with a combined income of $100,000 and about $30,000 of debt who have saved $25,000 toward a home could increase their purchasing power by $25,000 if they place an offer on a home before March 18.

family within walking distance of the new homes. Comprised of a total of 56 units, the development is built to last with Hardie Plank siding and brick, gas-fired common hot water and double-glazed, energy-saving vinyl windows. Inside, designer-chosen hardwood floors grace main living areas, while designer textured premium nylon carpet is in the bedrooms. All windows have horizontal blinds and European-style baseboards are featured throughout. Bedrooms come with an air conditioning unit, and main living areas and kitchens have crown mouldings. Kitchens and bathrooms both boast granite countertops and Riobel faucets; kitchens also feature stainless steel appliances. Spacious balconies complement each home as well. “Every unit has a balcony,” says Peddemors. The homes are attracting first-time homebuyers to those making their last buy, “and everything in between,” he adds.
Regency Court residents all have access to amenity space that includes a meeting room, an entertainment lounge, a guest suite, an electric bike/scooter room and storage lockers. And that’s only inside. Outside, White Rock beckons with leisure activities starting with exploring the 1,500-foot-long pier and the 2.5-kilometre beach promenade that
connects East and West Beach. Lined with boutique shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses, the Marine Drive ‘strip’ is always popular. There are also ample opportunities for golfing, swimming, kayaking, windsurfing, crab fishing, beach combing, hiking, sailing, team sports or simply, strolling the local parks and trails. “If you want the security of a new building with all the warranties in a great neighbourhood, definitely come by and check it out,” Peddemors says. “It’s well worth the visit.” Many Regency Court homes have been sold, but the remaining homes start from $279,000 and some ocean views are still available.

expert to prune fruit trees. All it takes is a little common sense and a few helpful hints. As a rule of thumb, I place fruit trees in three different pruning categories: the open centre, the central leader and the espalier form. Apples, pears and plums should have their centres opened up to allow more sun and air to penetrate. This technique is called openvase pruning, and it allows fruit to develop on the inside of the tree, on the tips and on the outward growing branches. For this type of pruning, simply choose to retain three to five dominate branches radiating out from the main stem. These branches should be five or six feet off the ground, allowing you to comfortably walk or work under the tree without hitting your head. Once you have determined which branches you are going to keep, cut out any other branches left in the centre, as well as any inward growing ones. Next, cut out all the upward growing branches, leaving the tree looking like a Y. The remaining branches should be pruned back each year at two foot intervals, keeping this Y formation intact. A heavy pruning each year, unfortunately, results in a mass of water sprouts shooting out in all directions. To minimize this problem, once you have developed the tree’s open-
very strong stem or leader, and because of that, they require central leader pruning. Central leader pruning simply means cutting back the main stem each year to control the rate of growth and at the same time, cutting back the outward growing branches even further, leaving an overall pyramidal form. If there are two or three strong central stems, it may be a good idea to eliminate all but one to avoid competition and to thin out the tree. The outward growing branches should be pruned back at a 45 degree angle. Next season the central leader may develop two or three new branches.

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS
The complete obituary and online condolences may be found at: www.bowersfuneral service.com
It is with great sadness, the family of Derek Leach announces his passing on January 22, 2011 at the age of 80. He is survived by his wife Marguerite of 57 years, his son (Jay) Mandy and his three grandchildren, Timothy, Bryn, and Emma, and his sister Florence in England. He is predeceased by his parents, James and Florence, his brothers Sidney, Leslie, Clifford, and his sisters Violet and Barbara. Derek was born in London, England, the sixth of seven children. Derek was a member of the 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards which participated in peacekeeping activities in Germany after WW11. After his discharge he met and married Marguerite in 1953. Together they moved to a new life in Canada in 1955. Their journey began in Montreal and then moved slowly westward to Winnipeg, the Arctic, Edmonton, and Vancouver before finally settling in Cloverdale, B.C. in 1966. Derek had a variety of jobs over the years. He worked at the Ft. Gary Hotel in Winnipeg, the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line in the Arctic, at Hugh & McKinnon as an accountant, eventually finishing his career as the Director of Finance at the B.C. Energy Commission from which he retired in 1989. He volunteered his time with the Cloverdale Board of Trade, he sat on the board of Surrey Memorial Hospital and he and Marguerite enjoyed delivering for Meals on Wheels. Derek was a man of integrity and honour who loved his family and appreciated the support of wonderful friends in his life. Derek and Marguerite enjoyed spending their retirement travelling around the world. They went to many wonderful places together. Thank you to the Langley Hospice for their kind, caring support for Derek and his family. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Langley Hospice Society www.langleyhospice.com. A celebration of his life willl be announced at a later date.
