Care home rates climb again Surrey Food Bank Executive Director Marilyn Herrmann: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Food bank clients are not drug-addicted, homeless and lazy people, these are your neighbours that live on your street. We just proved it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

HUNGER: Not just a North Surrey problem Surrey Food Bank map shows clients come from across the city by Boaz Joseph A NURSE at a care facility that bought a new Dodge Charger â&#x20AC;&#x201C; her dream car â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on the day she was unexpectedly laid off. An Iraqi family forced to emigrate to Canada due to death threats back home. A mother who quit her job to gain precious time with her young son who was

dying of cancer. A grateful client who comes every two weeks for food, yet returns on other days to volunteer. The staff and volunteers at the Surrey Food Bank have heard every conceivable story from their clients. Regardless of public perceptions of who

those clients are, the staff members and volunteers insist on this: They are regular people. In fact, chances are theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re your neighbour. In October, the food bank partnered with the City of Surrey to get a better idea of just where their clients come from. See HERRMANN / Page 4

Second year of residential fee hikes will hit most seniors by Jeff Nagel MOST B.C. seniors in nursing

homes will be hit with another significant jump in residential care rates in January. The province announced more than a year ago it would raise the fees by 10 to 13 per cent for care home residents whose after-tax income is at least $22,000 a year. But the hike was phased in over two years for existing clients, so a senior in Alice Edge care whose monthly rate jumped $81 last January will see another $81 increase starting next month. Someone earning $22,000 or more will pay an extra $1,956 in 2011 compared to 2009.

Gather in the light: One church’s invitation Inter-faith service in Delta next week by Sheila Reynolds A CHURCH in North Delta is inviting the community to come together against the darkness next Tuesday – the day of Winter Solstice and longest night of the year. The service is the first of its kind at Crossroads United Church and was planned after a year that Rev. Cari CopemanHaynes says seemed to have left residents feeling anxious, scared and grieving. Members of the church congregation, she said, felt it was time to offer the community an opportunity “to gather in the light, against the darkness.” In past Cari years, the Copeman church has offered a Blue Christmas service, geared toward those who have suffered a loss during the year. This year’s event is being planned as an interfaith affair, with connections made through Surrey’s Neighbouring Faiths group invited to take part. The response, said CopemanHaynes has been extremely positive, but she’s finding many of her Jewish and Muslim contacts are out of the country at this time of year. Still, everyone of any faith is welcome to participate in the

Hansen: Revenue being reinvested in care From Page 1

Finance minister Colin Hansen

“I know people who are just shocked, they can hardly find the words to describe what they’re feeling,” B.C. Health Coalition cochair Alice Edge said. Notices of the latest increase began arriving in early December. The new policy of taking up to 80 per cent of residents’ after-tax income allows for a minimum of $275 per month for spending on incidentals. “We are hearing that’s not enough,” Edge said. “The seniors I’ve talked to are very stressed about these increased rates.” The money left over can disappear quickly to prescription medicine, dental care, other

personal care items and add-on services like television and telephone. Even worse, she said, are cases of couples where one spouse is in care and the other is living at home. With fees draining more of the cash of the spouse in care, the one at home can be pushed to the edge of their ability to maintain the household. “They are experiencing a lot of financial distress around this.” Health minister Colin Hansen said in a statement the new fees are more equitable, lowering the rates for the lowest-income seniors. Someone who makes $14,000 a year now

pays $894 per month, about $46 less than in 2009. But only about a quarter of the poorest seniors in care are expected to pay less under the new system. Overall, the fee changes are bringing government an estimated $54 million more per year. “All of the additional revenue is being reinvested in care,” Hansen said. He stressed individuals or couples who feel they cannot make the payments can also apply for reduced rates on the basis of hardship. “No senior will be denied care based on income alone.”

“Every red dot is where a Surrey Food Bank client lives,” explains executive director Marilyn Herrmann, holding her newly printed map of the city. “The myth that people who come to the food bank live in North Surrey just got blown out of the water.” Some red dots represent multiple residences, such as co-ops, apartment buildings or basement suites. But they’re spread over every section of Surrey. (The food bank serves clients in Surrey down to 40 Avenue as well as North Delta, which is not on this map). “There is not a single neighbourhood that isn’t represented on the map,” she says. “And of the when we talk about ‘these are your neighbours,’ food bank clients are not drug-addicted, homeless and lazy people, these are your neighbours that live on your street. We just proved it.” In order to produce the map, the food bank didn’t divulge confidential client information, it simply analyzed street The Leader addresses from its database. introduces you Part of the reason for the to the people in map is to help address the your community issue of food bank expansion. who are While there are two satellite depots that open on alternating served by Tuesdays at the Boys and Girls – and who serve – Club in North Delta and Zion the food bank Lutheran Church in Cloverdale, the main warehouse in Whalley SPECIAL SERIES is too small and too far north in the city. The food bank board has begun to explore alternatives. “How can we better serve our clients?” Herrmann asks. “Having them stand outside for three hours is not serving them the way they should be. There isn’t enough space. And if we were to look at relocating, where should we be?” She adds that a relocation would be a major undertaking that would have to involve the community as a whole, including corporate partnerships. “I don’t know what this is going to look like.

of us do. We just know that currently, we’re challenged with a building that’s too small, clients that are lining up hours before we open our doors – in the cold and the rain. We’re serving food outside and we’re storing our food off-site because we don’t have enough space during the busiest season.” The food bank serves 250-300 families each day, which does not include the 80 families helped in North Delta and 80-100 families in Cloverdale. While there are often extra donations given as the winter holidays approach, the clients never stop coming. “I’m not really seeing seasonal changes,” Herrmann says. “People seem to need us all the time.” To continue to function, as it has since 1983, the Surrey Food Bank needs your support. The Surrey Food Bank is in the midst of its December fundraising/donation campaign. It needs to raise $450,000 in order to keep the shelves stocked through 2011. “It takes a whole community for us to keep our doors open,” says Herrmann. So far, donations are down compared to this time last year, but Herrmann is confident the community will come through.

Ways you can help: • Host a food/fund drive through a school, business or group; • Volunteer your time – individually or through a group; • Donate money. A week’s supply of formula for one baby, for example, costs $30; • Donate food at local supermarkets (IGA, Superstore, Safeway, Save-On Foods, PriceSmart) and Surrey and North Delta fire halls; • The food bank’s food wish list includes baby food/ formula/milk, canned fish/meat, peanut butter, rice, macaroni and cheese, pastas (whole grain preferred), healthy cereal (hot or cold), canned fruit, meals in a tin and pasta sauce. The Surrey Food Bank is located at 10732 135 Street. It does not solicit donations door to door or over the phone.

Homeless wish lists online Public invited to give practical gifts by Sharron Ho THE CHRISTMAS holidays are

a cheerful time for many, with houses lined with bright lights and trees dressed in ornaments and tinsel, but for others it is a painful reminder of what isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Ryan is a 27-year-old homeless man who finds winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seasonal festivities a difficult time. Dressed in a green sweatshirt and gray sweatpants, and wearing wire-rimmed glasses, Ryan sits quietly on a worn leather couch in the entertainment room of Hyland House, a shelter that provides services for the homeless and individuals who require long-term assistance. Working part-time, Ryan says at this time of year he is limited by his finances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me and a lot of people around here the holidays are a hard time. I live here because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have family to live with.â&#x20AC;? Ryan arrived at Hyland House in the spring of 2007, after the onset of mental illness changed his young adult life. He suffers from schizophrenia, which he calls his greatest obstacle. The challenges began after he was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder for six years. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until last year, when Ryan was on the right medication, that he was able to find relief from the symptoms of schizophrenia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hal-

lucinations and voices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The terror that you feel when these extremely surreal things happen. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very difficult to deal with,â&#x20AC;? he says. The life-altering illness caused him to leave school during his second year at the University College of the Fraser Valley. In order to make Christmas more enjoyable for people like Ryan, Hyland House is participating in a program run by Homeless Partners, a nonprofit organization run solely by volunteers. Homeless Partners has set up a website that gathers the Christmas wish lists of the homeless and posts their requests online for the public to view. According to a news release, the goal of Homeless Partners is to â&#x20AC;&#x153;promote understanding of the realities of homelessness, and to enable the public to directly impact the life of someone in need.â&#x20AC;? The program protects the identity of each homeless participant, but all wish lists are accompanied with brief stories that personalize the requests and provide insight

into how much difference a modest gift can make. The wish lists mainly contain practical items, such as bus passes to get to work, grocery gift cards, personal hygiene items and clothing. Ryan says the program helps him get through Christmas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Holidays can be a lonely time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to know there are people who care and you know, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also wonderful to get a present.â&#x20AC;? He expressed gratitude for the program, its volunteers and Hyland House. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having a place like Hyland House to come to and to be able to have a Christmas dinner and a pressent can give you the hope you need to get out of something like this. â&#x20AC;&#x153; On Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas wish list this year are a pair of boots to keep warm during the winter months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big help to me, you know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m usually short on cash and I often will get a pair of shoes at thrift store that will only last a couple of months.â&#x20AC;? The Homeless Partners Christmas Wish List began in Vancouver in 2005 and now operates in Calgary, Victoria and the U.S. The two Surrey shelters that are taking part in the program are Hyland House Surrey and Hyland House Cloverdale. Wish lists can be viewed at homelesspartners.com newsroom@surreyleader.com

Copeman-Haynes said the church sees itself as simple planting a seed of hope.

From page 3 Not only is the apartment complex helping find housing, but is offering to transfer damage deposits to the new units so displaced tenants arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t left looking for the extra funds. Bon Terra building manager Thea Lesco is collecting donations for the people who have been displaced by the fire. She said at this point, what is needed are gift certificates for clothes and household goods. Items can be dropped off at #102-10736 150 St.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to invite members of the community who are unsettled to come and join us and have a little moment of breathing space.â&#x20AC;? The Longest Night of the Year, an interfaith celebration of hope, is planned for Dec. 21, 7 p.m. at Crossroads United Church, 7655 120 St. For further information, phone 778-593-1043.

Surrey North Delta Leader

$8 an hour doesn’t cut it in high-cost B.C. No HST I BELIEVE that British Columbia should raise the minimum wage to at least $10 an hour. Expenses in this province have become substantially high and it has become quite the challenge to survive on a daily basis. Paying bills, buying groceries and the often rising taxes – it all adds up. Moreover, it is even more expensive to support a family, let alone yourself. Not only do families have to pay bills, they have to pay for their children’s expenses such as

clothes, school supplies, food, and extracurricular activities. As well, if there are older teens in the family that are going to a university or college, then there is the expenditure of tuition fees and school books. Getting paid $8 an hour just does not cut it in this day and age. As well, the addition of the HST created by Gordon Campbell affects the prices in stores and bills vastly. I think the government can afford to raise the wage to $10 an hour. B.C. has the lowest

minimum wage and highest cost living in Canada and getting paid $8 an hour is an insufficient wage. If we were to get paid $10 an hour it would make a great deal of difference to support ourselves and our families. It would not be such a burden to work so hard. Azarria Khan, student Kwantlen Polytechnic University

Growing Surrey chronically ignored THE PROVINCIAL government

has not kept up with growth in Surrey. No new schools have been planned while Surrey continues to receive more than 1,000 new students each year. The district has 232 portables currently in use and this number will increase in the next few years. At the Dec. 9 Board of Education meeting, in response to these space concerns, trustees voted to support a report recommending flexible school scheduling and extended days at secondary schools. However, flexible schedules will not solve the problem and in the past have not been well received by parents or students. I expect when parents have the chance to express their views about this plan, the district will find that it is overwhelmingly unpopular. Educating students in shifts, creating extended breaks during the day, forcing students into online classes and scheduling classes during the early morning and lunch hours will all have a negative effect on the school community. I see a lot of potential problems including attendance issues, an impact on extracurricular activities, and the loss of an optimum learning environment. Another issue will be the impact on family and childcare for parents, as well as our members. Certainly the district is facing space challenges. However, many of these challenges were foreseeable and were either created by or not addressed by the current government. Changes to ministry policy allowing cross-boundary transfers has

‘windfall’

FRED PERRY’S recent letter is just

a little incredulous. He calls the $1.6-billion federal government payment to B.C. for the HST a “windfall.” Nothing could be further from the truth. How about calling it “creative accounting?” Politicians may call it a windfall but in reality, it was just a plain inducement (call it a bribe) for B.C. to enter into the HST agreement. Ever wonder why the federal government was so anxious to have this agreement? Furthermore, it is not a “windfall” – it is “our” money, yes British Columbians’ hard-earned remitted tax dollars. So let’s do away with the smoke and mirrors. Additionally, Campbell et al generously granted the federal government installment terms. To date, B.C. is not in full receipt of the $1.6 billion. One other point: What job losses is Perry referring to with the possible cancellation of the HST? If any company has to depend on a HST tax break to stay in business, it’s in pretty sad shape. So please, let’s just call things for what they are. James Dartnell Surrey

Show some discretion FILE PHOTO / THE LEADER

The head of the local teachers’ union says too many Surrey students are learning in portables – a reality caused by years of underfunding by the provincial government – and that altering school hours to utilize limited classroom space isn’t the answer. created space constraints at some schools. Community school initiatives and choice programs put further pressure on limited classroom space. Failing to build new schools in neighbourhoods that are undergoing rapid growth has been another problem. A shovel-ready addition to Fraser Heights Secondary has not been approved despite more than a

dozen portables on site. Meanwhile, the government has continued to fund capital projects in other areas such as a new roof on B.C. Place and a convention centre. It really makes you question their priorities. Portables provide a temporary solution, but districts are required to purchase new portable classrooms out of their

operating budget, resulting in cuts to service. These changes being contemplated by the Surrey Board of Education are just another example of how systemic underfunding and ineffective government policy is negatively affecting Surrey students. Denise Moffatt, President Surrey Teachers’ Association

Embrace the chance to get it right WITH ALL the recent musings and mutterings

from various media sources about the possible establishment of a new political party, may I add my voice of consent to the chorus and suggest the B.C. First Party. I like what I read, and was left feeling that an emphasis returned to the inviolable dignity of the human person, the defence of the uniqueness of the individual, freedom, rights, responsibilities, self-determination, equality of opportunity and minimal governmental interference/intervention

has much to commend it, if articulated cogently, convincingly and passionately. I believe that politics are founded on classical ethics and rooted in transcendent reality, and potentially possesses mass existential appeal and could do this province some real service. Let’s embrace change and this chance to get it right. William Perry Victoria

A RECENT newspaper headline read: “Bad drivers shock cops.” An equally valid headline could read: “Bad cops shock drivers.” Recently a police officer was convicted of impaired driving twice in one month. The first incident involved an accident that injured two people. There have been other such incidents of police caught drinking and driving. With the new drinking and driving laws, some police are like a kid with a new toy, they just can’t stop playing with it. Many people are having their driver’s licence taken away and car impounded for having one or two glasses of wine with their dinner. Then there’s the officer caught selling marijuana out of his police car. How about the police officer that was charged with pushing down the lady with cerebral palsy after she got in his way? Or the police officer who beat up a newspaper delivery man downtown? Then there’s the fellow up north who got shot in the back of the head while in police custody. I don’t think I need to repeat the police misconduct involved in the tasering of the Polish immigrant at the airport. Yes, the police need to crack down on bad behaviour, but show some discretion and common sense, and don’t forget to clean up your own backyard as well. John Benes, Surrey

secondary suites in July, only a dozen property owners have come forward to start the legalization process. Last summer, council adopted bylaw amendments that allow secondary suites in single-family residences in specified residential zones, and in an effort to encourage property owners to register their suites have offered a number of incentives. During a “grace period” until the end of 2011, owners legalizing their secondary suites will not be charged inspection fees (up to two inspections) or charged for building permit fees related to bringing their suite up to code. Mayor Lois Jackson said she was surprised to learn so few people have started the legalization process, as relayed to council Monday (Dec. 6) in a report by municipal solicitor Greg Vanstone. She said Delta will be stepping up its effort to inform residents about the legalization of secondary suites by holding information days

at recreation centres next spring. Communicating with absentee landlords is a concern. “By and large they have no idea these incentives are available or that we are going to be cracking down when the time comes at the end of next year.” Jackson added there are perceived deterrents to legalizing secondary suites such as the cost to upgrade a suite to meet building codes, plus the additional utility fee of having another suite which currently is $800. Last Monday, council decided to add another incentive in an effort to encourage more property owners to start the legalization process. Now, owners who legalize their suite during the year can receive a $300 credit toward the following year’s utility charges. Jackson said there are advantages to legalizing secondary suites. “I think it’s a matter of educating the public what the advantages are to them, to their tenants, to their pocket book and to the community at large,” she said. “From a landlord’s point of view, despite the

fact that money has to be put out front to upgrade, they will probably get better tenants and better income in the long run, and as a result they’re going to have a property that will be worth more money.” Staff have reported there are 2,477 known properties with secondary suites in Delta: 1,776 in North Delta, 451 in Ladner, and 250 in Tsawwassen. The municipality estimates there are more than 7,000 secondary suites throughout Delta. When the housing option was up for debate earlier this year, Jackson said she had seen “totally unacceptable” safety issues in illegal suites from jury-rigged electrical and propane being used for cooking in enclosed spaces, one of the reasons council wanted the ability to regulate. In an effort to raise awareness about the legalization of secondary suites, Delta has updated its website (visit www. corp.delta.bc.ca) where a registration form and information brochure can be downloaded, and created a hotline (604952-3159). newsroom@surreyleader.com

Mom who dumped newborn pleads guilty Sentencing set for March 2011 by Martin van den Hemel A SURREY WOMAN who tossed

her full-term baby boy into the trash last January pled guilty Tuesday morning to disposing of her child’s dead body. Crown Counsel Patti Tomasson said Courtney Dawn Taylor, who was 20 at the time she was arrested by Richmond Mounties, will be sentenced on March 25, 2011.

Acting on a tip, Richmond Mounties searched the Vancouver Landfill in Burns Bog and after three days found the baby’s body. According to police, Taylor gave birth on Jan. 31, 2010 after keeping her pregnancy a secret from family and friends. As her boyfriend slept, she delivered her baby in the washroom and alerted him that she’d had a miscarriage.

Taylor wrapped the baby boy in a towel and put him in a garbage bag, which she discarded in a school dumpster. Taylor’s boyfriend helped, but hasn’t been charged, according to police. Investigators said earlier this year they were awaiting the results of an autopsy to determine if charges of infanticide and neglecting to obtain assistance at child birth were appropriate.

Surrey trustees SAVE UP TO claim $19,000 $ , in expenses LIMITED TIME OFFER

1500

Chairperson topped spending last year by Sheila Reynolds THE SEVEN members

of Surrey’s Board of Education claimed more than $19,000 in expenses last year. The figures, included in a recently released report of annual remuneration and expenses for elected officials, shows that board chairperson Laurae McNally topped spending again this year. McNally submitted $6,346 in expenses, nearly $2,500 more than any of her colleagues. Vice-chair Shawn Wilson filed the secondhighest claim ($3,969), with Trustee Reni Masi close behind with a $3,757 tab. Trustees

Laurie Larsen claimed $2,248, Terry Allen $1,984, Ijaz Chatta $965 and Pam Glass $419. “The chair has to represent the board at many events,” McNally said. “The other thing this year is that we have had a lot of lobbying (for funding) go on where the chair has had to travel to various places.” The total trustee expenses of $19,687 are for June 2009 to June 2010 and are on top of salaries totaling $205,269. Board members were paid $28,681 for the year, with the chair receiving an additional $3,000 and the vice-chair getting an extra $1,500. sreynolds@surreyleader.com

Dale Saip re-elected as Delta school board chair Simon Truelove takes vice-chair position again by Kristine Salzmann DALE SAIP was re-elected as Delta Board of Educa-

tion chair Tuesday evening (Dec. 14) by fellow trustees, making it his third consecutive year in the position. Saip is serving his seventh term as a Delta trustee, and he has served as chair on three previous boards. When asked what budgeting challenges the district might face this year, Saip said, “There’s challenges every year in budgeting. I’ve been doing this for a long time and I’ve served under three, four different provincial governments of all parties, and there’s always challenges. “One of the things that’s constant is trustees saying there’s not enough, there’s not enough. But as a province we’re very well off compared to the rest of the world, and we in Delta will continue to do our best to manage the system within the parameters we’re given.” Simon Truelove was once again voted in as vicechair of the board. In October 2008 Delta school trustees were acclaimed as only seven candidates ran for the seven seats on the board. At the time Saip said he was comfortable with the majority of people on the board to do their job well, and reaffirmed that today. “This is a very good board. This is a board that doesn’t parade itself around as being the answer to everything,” he said. “We work hard to make it work and it’s a pleasure to serve with these trustees.”

Scaffolding collapse at Surrey high school Tzu Chi Foundation Canada

No one hurt at Johnston Heights Secondary Black Press A LARGE section of scaffolding being used during a construction project at Johnston Heights Secondary in Surrey collapsed sometime overnight Monday. A mound of poles and platforms could be seen behind fences in front of the high school early Tuesday morning. One mom who was dropping her child off at school said it looked like the bottom two levels of the scaffolding may have collapsed and every-

thing else came down on top. The Surrey School District said it was still unclear what exactly had happened, but that there was absolutely no risk to students. “This is a great example of why there’s such extensive fencing in blocking access to construction areas,” said spokesman Doug Strachan. Since September, Johnston Heights, near 153 Street and 99 Avenue, has been undergoing major upgrades to fix leaks that have plagued the school for years.

Men sought in home invasion Delta woman is honoured for rescue Incident targeted, victims uncooperative police say Mountie also recognized for work in nabbing sex offender by Sheila Reynolds A DELTA woman who was walking in Burnaby with her husband last summer was honoured on the weekend for rescuing another woman in Deer Lake. Karol Mitchell and her husband Scott were at the lake on July 20 when Karol saw a distraught woman standing in the shallows of the lake. The woman ventured further into the lake and submerged several times, her arms flailing. “Recognizing the gravity of the situation, and with complete disregard for her own safety, Ms. Mitchell swam out to the victim in an attempt to rescue her,” said Insp. Dave Fleugel at a Burnaby RCMP Officer in Charge Awards ceremony in Burnaby on Saturday. “An admittedly weak swimmer, Ms. Mitchell swam out in the cold, murky water and grabbed the woman by the shirt, before finally wrapping an arm around her.” The drowning woman was pulled back to shore and helped by her husband. Mitchell’s actions “saved the life of

a complete stranger,” said Fleugel. The awards, handed out at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, was a chance for the RCMP to recognize their own members, staff, volunteers and citizens for going above and beyond the call of duty and for providing police assistance. Also honoured was Burnaby RCMP Sgt. David Bell for his help in the investigation of a dangerous sex offender in Surrey. In 2004, a child sex offender was arrested after mailing child pornography to himself from the Philippines. The man travelled to engage in sexual acts with young children. Bell studied hours of disturbing images to locate the crime scenes and victims. He pored over photos of the accused and was able to positively identify him. “His meticulous investigation was then documented in a video presentation which was presented to the court, lending unprecedented clarity to the proceedings,” said Fleugel. “In the end, the court held no doubt that the accused was, in fact, the male in the videos.” sreynolds@surreyleader.com

There were two men, one armed with a silver handgun, the other brandishing a machete. They forced their way into the home in the 7800 block of Bremridge Drive in North Delta around 3 a.m. Tuesday (Dec. 14). Once inside, the suspects ordered the occupants to the ground and assaulted one of them. The victim was not seriously injured, police said. The two invaders ransacked the house and stole various items, including TVs, cash and identification. The suspects used a vehicle belonging to one of the occupants to make their getaway. It was later recovered in Surrey.

The man with the gun is described as 5’7” with a stocky build. He was wearing a black hoodie (possibly a Christian Audigier) and a balaclava. The man with the machete was 6’ dressed all in black with a balaclava. The Delta Police Serious Crime Section is investigating. The DPD issued a statement that said initial indications are that this was a targeted incident and describing the victims as “evasive and... somewhat uncooperative with police.” Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Delta Police at 604-946-4411, or if you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. newsroom@surreyleader.com

Guilty plea in porn case South Surrey man charged last year by Tracy Holmes A SOUTH Surrey man pleaded

guilty this week to possessing child pornography. Douglas Wayne Bowers was arrested and charged last year after an investigation by the RCMP’s Integrated Child Exploitation team led police

to a man they described as “another prolific distributor of child sexual abuse images and video online.” However, Bowers told The Peace Arch News outside Surrey Provincial Court Monday morning that while he was aware child-pornography images were on his computer,

he had no intention of viewing them and that they were inadvertently downloaded when he accessed adult pornography websites online. Bowers said he was too embarrassed to seek help to have the files removed from his computer. tholmes@peacearchnews.com

No criminal record for threatening TFN staff Darren Williams’ apology and guilty plea helped avert tougher sentence by Dan Ferguson A FEW hours after he

made threats against several employees of the Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN) in Delta, Darren (Remo) Williams apologized by email, twice. His act of remorse wasn’t enough to avoid prosecution on criminal charges, but it likely helped avert a criminal conviction that would have made it hard for Williams, owner of a tree felling and topping company, to make his regular trips across the U.S. border from Tsawwassen to work in Point Roberts. Williams does have a criminal record for two incidents of assault from his younger days, but they occurred in the 1990s and did not result in jail sentences, only probation orders. Last Friday, Surrey Provincial Court Judge Michael Hicks sentenced Williams to 12 months probation and granted him a conditional discharge that will mean no criminal record once he completes his courtordered supervision. Hicks also ordered Williams to perform 20 hours of community service and to undergo anger management counselling if ordered by his probation officer. Hicks noted the apology and Williams’ decision to plead guilty to one count of uttering threats as soon it was practically possible. The judge also imposed a ban against owning weapons for 12 months. Williams was originally charged with three counts of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm after an incident in May of 2009 that saw him suspended from his position on the governing council of the First Nations community in South Delta. Court was told that Williams erupted in frustration over the way the band and TFN staff were handling a proposed redevelopment of 125 acres of TFN land planned by Williams and his brother. Williams lawyer did not give details of the development proposal beyond describing it as “sophisticated.” Williams blew up

during a visit to the TFN administration office, using what the judge described as “graphic and threatening language” against two staffers that included threats to

choke them. Then he left. Williams was then seen driving past the TFN offices in the passenger seat of a pick-up truck, miming shooting at the office

with a gun. Shortly after that, he sent an e-mail to a senior TFN staffer with a subject heading that read “kill you” and threatened to murder the recipient and two

other TFN staffers. “I have enough land to bury you,” Williams wrote. “I will come down with my shotgun and let you decide who dies first.”

Court was told Williams, a 50-year-old father of seven, was under substantial emotional stress at the time due to the deaths of three people close to him.

As a result of the incident, the TFN band amended its constitution to specifically ban Williams from ever holding office again. dferguson@surreyleader.com

their South Surrey home when some Surrey RCMP officers and members of the Delta Police arrived with a search warrant and broke down the door. The 68-year-old retired former Vancouver police officer and his 63-year-old wife were out having breakfast. However, their son, 34-year-old Sylvan, a security guard, was home sleeping. He was awakened and arrested at gunpoint. It was about 8:30 a.m. on May 16, 2008. When the parents returned around 9:30 a.m. they were arrested, too. Around 11 a.m. the Baders’ 25-yearold son Jared, a college student, arrived at the home and was arrested. About the same time, the Baders’ other son Travis, 32, a Ladner resident, was being arrested at the offices of Silvercore Advanced Training Systems, the weapons training facility operated since 1988 at 7198 Vantage Way in Delta. Travis is president and CEO of Silvercore. After their arrests, all five Baders were taken to the Surrey RCMP main detachment, where they were kept in separate holding cells for three days. The next month, the Baders were charged with multiple charges of possessing restricted firearms and ammunition, making or using explosives and other weapons-related offences. The case never went to trial. The charges were stayed by the Crown prosecutor’s office. Details of the raid and arrests are outlined in court documents filed in the Vancouver B.C. Supreme Court registry on behalf of the Baders by lawyer Cam-

eron Ward. The Baders are suing two of the Surrey Mounties and one Delta Police officer involved in the raid, the provincial solicitor general’s office and the Municipality of Delta, saying their rights were violated. Unspecified compensation is being sought for alleged wrongful arrest, false imprisonment, trespass, assault and battery, negligence and malicious prosecution as well as loss of income, humiliation and distress. Their lawsuit also names a Surrey firearms officer employed by the Canadian Firearms Centre gun registry and licensing authority, saying he supplied false information to the police. In response, lawyers for the firearms centre officer, the Delta Police, RCMP, solicitor general and the municipality have applied to have the lawsuit dismissed, arguing the various officers involved were acting in good faith and their actions were legal and without malice. No date for a court hearing has been set. Silvercore has a list of past and present clients that includes the Abbotsford and Vancouver police departments, Brinks Armoured Car, Churchill Armoured Car, Securicor Armoured Car and the Geological Survey of Canada. The company offers the Canadian Firearms Safety and Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Courses (CFSC and CRFSC). It also provides training in personal safety and defending against edged weapons as well as firearms rentals, gunsmithing, and the safe disposal of old or unwanted weapons.

5. Split up the shopping tasks. Families can divide the shopping list among their members and shop separately, then meet up at a designated time. This will allow everyone to spend fewer hours shopping. 6. Leave the baby at home. Infants and toddlers can easily become overwhelmed and irritable when holiday shopping. Rather than contend with a major meltdown that requires you exit the store pronto, hire a sitter or ask a family member to care for the kids so you can shop uninterrupted and unburdened by sippy cups, strollers and temper tantrums.

2. Take breaks. For a day for marathon shopping, be sure to schedule breaks. These can include an hour long lunch, a coffee break or catching a movie. A simple pit stop now and again can rev up energy levels and keep you motivated.

4. Avoid peak shop times. Try rearranging your schedule so you can shop during mealtimes, early in the morning or late at night, when there may be fewer people at the stores. Waiting until the kids get out of school or for primetime weekend shopping may rattle your nerves. Bring lunch to work and shop on your lunch hour to also sidestep some of the crowds.

1. Comfort is key. Avoid wearing a bulky winter coat that you have to lug around. Consider layering shirts so that you can remove layers until youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve reached your comfort level. Plus, shirts or even a zipper-front fleece jacket are much less cumbersome. Also, head to the stores in comfortable footwear. Athletic shoes are probably your best bet. If you plan to shop during a work lunch hour or after business hours, bring a change of clothes and shoes so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to do so comfortably.

3. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shop on an empty stomach. Few people can concentrate when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starving, so make sure to have a bite to eat before setting out. Pack along some granola bars or other portable snacks in case hunger pangs strike while in the throes of shopping. Remember to rehydrate as well with bottled water or juice. Those climate-controlled stores can dry out your body rather quickly.

6. Shop early. Shopping several months prior to the holidays can save you a lot of headaches. Boxing Day Sales this year will offer great discounts for stocking up for next year. Think ahead and shop accordingly. Pick up items as you come across them on your travels throughout the year. Come December, you’ll have a gift for everyone. 7. Take a road trip. If shops close to your house are always overcrowded, map out stores or outlets that are off the beaten track. Then make a day of taking a scenic drive and shopping at places that aren’t as busy. Who knows ... you may make it an annual tradition that you enjoy. 8. Invest in a shopping cart. Anything with wheels will do, whether a metal shopping cart or a canvas one. Look for carts that fold up to fit in your trunk, which are often sold in discount or houseware stores. This simple tool can

prove invaluable for toting around all of the items you’ve purchased. It also frees up your hands for browsing through racks and displays. What’s the alternative? Tired arms overburdened with shopping bags. While your are shopping with a cart, be sure to watch your handbag at all times. Don’t leave it in the cart for someone to steal. 9. Patronize stores that offer personal customer service and product knoweldge. Smaller boutique style stores are not always able to offer the same discounted prices you will find in the big box stores, but more often than not they will be more informed about the products they sell. And, if gift wrapping is one of your favourite options while you are in panic shopping mode, the boutique-style vendors will usually bonus up and help you with that too. In fact, it is amazing how some of the vendors package up your purchases on a regular basis with color coodinated tissues, ribbons and bags. A perfect detail for the last minute rush.

Stress can affect both physical and mental health, but it can also wreak havoc on one’s appearance – causing wrinkling around the brow line and eyes from scrunching the face. Additionally, it can cause a person to over- or under-eat, resulting in weight gain and other cosmetic factors like dull hair. Here are just a few tips to make the season bright:

• Schedule time for yourself. Find a time each month where you can simply pencil in a day for recharging. This may entail visiting a spa for a massage or facial, a morning when you get to sleep in, or a day when you can simply catch up on relaxation time in front of the television. If you treat this as an “appointment” like any other, you’ll make it a priority.

style options. Set up an appointment with your stylist to discuss a look that can shave precious minutes off of your beauty routine. Also, take a few moments to repair hair to improve its appearance, which could be all you need to recharge lifeless locks.

• Scale back your beauty regimen. Save those time-consuming makeup tricks for special occasions. On normal days when you’re gift shopping or heading to work, keep makeup simple and streamlined. With good foundation to even out skin tone, a dash of colour on the cheekbones, some shimmer under the brow and in the crease of your eyes to wake them up, a little mascara, and a touch of lip gloss, you can look fresh in 5 minutes or less.

• Get physical. Aim for 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day. This gets the blood pumping, fueling the entire body with energy. Your skin will glow, your hair can be revived, and you will help burn off any extra calories from the temptations laid before you during the holiday season.

• Have a financial plan. Since a majority of holiday stress is moneyrelated, go into the holiday season with a strict budget in mind. If need be, consult with a financial planner or someone else whom you trust. Make a list and check it twice to avoid over-spending. With a clear plan in mind, you’ll know what you can afford and shopping excursions can be less fretful. Plus, you won’t be faced with enormous credit card bills come January.

Be sure you have good windows and doors. If you don’t, this should be a high priority. Also, look for cracks around glass, sashes and window frames that could be leaking air. Apply adhesive foam weatherstrips to top and bottom window rails or nail felt weatherstripping where window sashes and frames make contact. New windows can increase energy efficiency and lower energy bills.

Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association offers these tips on home care and comfort. • Check your roof insulation How much roof insulation do you have? Hot air rises, so your home’s most likely area to release heat is the roof. The most efficient way to stop that loss is by adding insulation.

• Fill the gaps Heated air can escape from gaps that develop where building materials meet. Look for signs where materials have pulled apart, then caulk or seal the gaps. Check areas where exterior siding meets windows and doors, along the roof and foundation lines, around chimneys and where pipes protrude through walls or roofs.

• Inspect your heating system Consider replacing an older or inefficient heating unit with a gas furnace or a heat pump with a high-efficiency rating. If you currently have an efficient system, inspect and clean it now. Make sure your filters are clean. Change inexpensive throwaway filters monthly.

• Clean gutters and downspouts

Consider replacing an existing thermostat with a programmable model that can turn down the heat while you sleep or when you are not at home.

According to a recent survey, today’s home buyers rank energy efficiency as one of their most important considerations. Members of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association believe routine maintenance is worth the effort to keep energy bills as low as possible and comfort levels high.

Even though gutters and downspouts don’t affect your energy bills directly, they should be checked twice a year. Gutters and downspouts are traps for falling leaves and pine needles, and squirrels can use them as pantries for storing winter food. Be sure to clean gutters thoroughly, especially elbows and bends in the downspouts. Keep hangers fastened securely. Plug holes and cracks.

This year, make e-cycling a top priority. According to the Consumer Electronics Association, of the average $750 that households plan to spend on gifts this year, approximately $232 of that will be spent on consumer electronics such as a laptops, e-readers or game systems. Electronics are the most popular items in the Earth911 Recycling Directory – more than 30 percent of recycling searches last year were for gadgets such as computers and televisions. Don’t forget the batteries that power your gadgets. This time of year is one of the most popular times for people to recycle their batteries. Nearly 20 percent of Call2Recycle’s overall 2009 battery collections were received in November and December. Likewise, 20 percent of the batteries sent to Call2Recycle from its retail partners in 2009 came from consumers visiting these stores during the holiday season. This year Call2Recycle began collecting all household batteries up to five kilograms at every collection site in British Columbia and Ontario, as well as at select retailers nationwide, making it even easier for Canadians to keep batteries out of landfills. Christmas trees can and should be recycled. Christmas trees are one of the top-searched items in the Earth911 Recycling Directory each year, even though these recycling programs only last for a few weeks. There

are many resources online to find local events and collection drives for people to recycle their tree after the holidays. Help the environment and those in need. Allow your green efforts to help those in need by donating household goods that you no longer use to a local charity. Clothing, decorations, blankets and more can find a brand-new life through a charity, rather than reaching the trash bin. “Making your holiday season more ecofriendly can be fast and easy, especially when you focus on recycling,” said Corey Lambrecht, president of Earth911. “As one of the most accessible, sustainable actions the average person can take, the resources to reduce our overall waste output are widespread and available. We only need to take advantage of them.” To be more environmentally conscious this holiday season, recycle batteries and cell phones at any of the more than 30,000 retailers, communities and businesses across Canada and the United States that serve as a Call2Recycle collection site. To find a local Call2Recycle collection site, visit call2recycle. ca, or visit Earth911.com to find a location to recycle hundreds of additional items.

My family and staff join me in wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for a Happy New Year.

The Journey of Christmas, which tells the story of the true meaning of the season, has ﬁlled a need in the community, say organizers.

A Christmas journey Church’s elaborate nativity display is an escape during hectic holiday by Alex Browne

ow In its 12th year, the Journey of Christmas at St. Mark’s Anglican Church is a well-established feature of the season. The outdoor walk-around display – made up of nine elaborate nativity dioramas in the woods behind the church – retells the story of the first Christmas using murals, mannequins, props, theatrical lighting and a sophisticated soundtrack. It’s proven a winning combination for those who want to get away from the hectic pace of holiday celebrations for a quiet 22-minute walk of reflection on the true meaning of Christmas. “It’s filling a need in the community,” said co-organizer and publicist Brian Walks. “People know who we are and where we are.” While he’s heard of other churches trying displays like this, low volume drive-by traffic and winter weather usually spell the demise of such attractions after seven or eight years. But the Journey of Christmas has not only beaten the odds, it’s beaten some bad winters, such as the snowfall two years ago to become a bona fide tradition. Starting with a vision of congregation member John Reeder to find a way to “put the Christ back in Christmas,” the Journey has been perfected over more than a decade, including a three-year project by volunteer Ted Lindsey, just completed, to rebuild each of the mannequins from scratch. But another winning ingredient for those who visit the display has been the chance to gather at the church for hot chocolate, cookies and live entertainment to warm up after the walk.

Entertainment hasn’t been neglected this season, which started with a performance by Sarona Mynhardt’s White Rock Christian Academy Senior Chamber Choir last night and continues with the St. Mark’s Recorder Ensemble (which premiered at the church’s recent Medieval festival) on Dec. 19. On Dec. 20, music will be provided by Denny O’Donovan’s Pacific Showtime male chorus, which in addition to barbershopstyle harmony, also features instrumental accompaniment. That will be followed by St Mark’s own choir on Dec. 21 and the always entertaining Gilbert & Sullivan Society Singers in its accustomed spot on Dec. 23. (“We had 292 people on Dec. 23 last year,” Walks said. “It’s the biggest non-Christmas Eve night ever.”) On nights between these attractions, pianist Pauline Burnham will be on hand to provide music, Walks added. While there’s no entertainment on Christmas Eve there are services in the church at 5 p.m., 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. And on Boxing Day and Dec. 27, organ virtuoso Michael Dirk – who worked for St. Mark’s years before his recent appointment as music director for Holy Trinity Church in Vancouver – will return with special concerts in the church each evening at 6:45 p.m. and 8 p.m. Admission is free, but donations will be accepted, and will go toward improvements and upkeep of the display. The Journey of Christmas will be open at the church (12953 20 Ave.) from 6 to 9 p.m. each evening until Dec. 23. It’s also open from 3:30 to 9 p.m. Christmas Eve; closed Christmas Day and open again from 6 to 9 p.m. on Boxing Day and Dec. 27. For more information, visit www.stmarkbc.org

More than a touch of brass Instrumental concert will feature seasonal favourites by Alex Browne THOSE WHO think of

the tuba only in terms of Octoberfest “oompah bands” will have to revise their opinions after hearing Christmas With A Touch of Brass, the upcoming concert (Dec. 20, 7:30 p.m.) at Mount Olive Lutheran Church, 2350 140 St. The bass instrument is an equal partner in the sophisticated moving harmonies of the all-star Vancouver-based brass quintet – particularly

as played by group founder David Sabourin, whose expertise has enriched performances by everything from the Vancouver Opera orchestra to Dixieland pick-up groups. Also featured in the group are the exemplary musicianship of Tom Shorthouse and Jim Littleford (trumpets) Jeremy Berkman (trombone) and Ben Kinsman (French Horn) – and those who have seen A Touch Of Brass’ other six Christmas concerts

know they achieve a seamless blend of tonal colours in which the tuba plays an integral part. “The tuba has always been treated as the buffoon of the basses,” Sabourin acknowledged – an idea forever banished from his mind as a young musician when he was encouraged by a mentor in the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra to attend an international tuba conference in California. “There were about 350

The loan rangers THE JOHNSTON Heights Secondary School community

recently made its 500th micro-loan to help Third-World entrepreneurs lift themselves out of poverty. Since 2006, the school community worked through a micro-lending website called Kiva. They collected donations so that money could be loaned, not given, to low-income entrepreneurs and in small increments – but on a regulated schedule, these loans are paid back. The money returned is again re-loaned to other worthy recipients. Kiva is partnered with existing humanitarian microfinance institutions working within Third-World countries. These agencies evaluate the recipients and the merit of their entrepreneurial projects ensuring that our money is being applied as we have intended it to be. The students in Johnston Heights’ Kiva Club worked hard to ensure that the money is invested and reinvested regularly in worthy entrepreneurial recipients through the Kiva website. These students develop strategies for selecting which recipient should receive the micro-loan support. They weigh risk of investment with the needs of real people. They have invested in fish nets so that a mother can catch fish to feed her family and sell some in the market, fruit could be sold in a market, a calf could be raised and resold as a cow, repairs could be made to a taxi and wood could be bought for a furniture factory which supported 20 people.

Presents for Earthwise Well-contained support for orphans

LAST MONTH, Earthwise Society received an unexpected

phone call. Wendy, the mother of a soon-to-be nine-year-old boy, said her son and his friend were going to have a double birthday party. In lieu of more unnecessary material items, the boys were going to ask for donations for Earthwise Society. These Vancouver families were introduced to Earthwise Society through Whole Foods Market’s “Community Giving” campaign. On Nov. 13, Wendy brought out Ryan and Cooper to present Earthwise Society with a cheque for $511. Earthwise Farm manager James Gates, gave the two energetic boys a hands-on tour of the farm, where they harvested fresh produce to share with their families.

Dirty vases are no place for fresh flowers. Not only should they be clean, but a few drops of bleach should also be added to the water to kill any bacteria that can reduce the capillary action of water flowing up the stems. The water should be warm, and the addition of floral preservatives will greatly extend the lifespan of your cut flowers.

ner status in the B.C. Liberal leadership race, with at least 10 MLAs backing his bid to replace Gordon Campbell as party leader and B.C.’s next premier. He didn’t roll in on his trademark mountain bike or the excavator he once used to knock down the Coquihalla Highway toll booths. But the Surrey-Cloverdale MLA and former health minister – he resigned the post Monday night – had plenty of human props, including a crowd of more than 100 cheering and clapping supporters at the Tuesday morning announcement at the Surrey Museum in Cloverdale. “It is time for a new generation of leadership,” Falcon said, promising to listen, learn and “lead decisively.”

Criminal cases are being dismissed due to lengthy delays is causing a backlog of criminal proceedings that is forcing judges to throw out cases for lack of timely prosecution, one judge said last week. “There are not enough judges, court staff or sheriffs in Surrey,” said Judge Peder Gulbransen. “The backlog is so great and the courts so crowded, that in many cases there will be an unreasonable delay should there be even one adjournment on a trial date.” He said the problem has become “chronic.”

Gulbransen made the comments in his written reasons for judgment in the case of a man who was charged with impaired driving and refusing to give a breath sample on Oct. 13, 2007 but never stood trial because of repeated failures to get court time. As the man’s request, Gulbransen threw out the charges on Nov. 22 of this year, issuing a stay of proceedings due to excessive “institutional” delays. The judge said at least 25 months of the three-year wait was because of a shortage of court resources, more than double the acceptable eight- to 10-month institutional wait time allowed under Canadian court guidelines.

See LIBERALS / Page 3

In his written decision, which was published online Thursday (Nov. 25), Gulbransen said the number of days available to handle criminal cases in Surrey has steadily declined over the last five years. He said there are fewer judges to hear longer and more complicated cases because many judges have retired and have not been replaced. There are fewer sheriffs and court staff too, with the result that “it is not uncommon for there to be days when there are not enough clerks to staff the courtrooms,” Gulbransen said.
