Young girls die in Surrey house fire Neighbours pitched in to rescue family by Dan Ferguson THE PARENTS were on the roof

calling for help as the fire filled their home with smoke. “My daughters are inside, somebody help me!” the father yelled. Kulwant Dhaliwal was one of the neighbours who came running when they heard the desperate shouting from the yellow twostorey home in the 9400 block of 125 Street early Tuesday morning. Dhaliwal and another neighbour, a volunteer firefighter, tried to force their way inside through the front door, Kulwant but they were Dhaliwal driven back by the blaze. “Everybody wanted to try, but there was too much smoke,” Dhaliwal said. Another neighbour brought over a ladder to get the parents down. By then, the Surrey Fire Department had arrived. It’s estimated the first fire crews were on the scene within seven minutes of the first phone call around 6 a.m. See CAUSE / Page 5

Millie McKinnon holds up a photo of her brother Paul Phelan, who was murdered in Whalley. The family and Surrey RCMP held a brief press conference Wednesday at the scene of the crime, in the 10700 block of 135A Street.

Man murdered in Whalley was ‘hard-working, decent’ Police release name of person found dead on Surrey street last week by Dan Ferguson PAUL PHELAN was a long-time Surrey resident, a hard-working man and beloved uncle to his nieces and nephews. He was planning to take some of them out on dirt bikes, a prospect that made his family nervous. “He was a little bit accident-prone,” sister Millie McKinnon said. A motorcycle accident had left her brother

youngest of six kids who grew up in Surrey, McKinnon said. “He always had a smile on his face,” she said. McKinnon described her brother as a “simple, hard-working, decent man” who was never late for work. There was no history of drug abuse, no hint of criminal activity.

Jack Huang, a volunteer with the Tzu Chi Foundation, hands out groceries at the Surrey Food Bank Wednesday morning. The Tzu Chi Foundation has members helping out on-site each week.

Well-deserved recognition Surrey Food Bank honours its top supporters at annual December open house by Boaz Joseph THEY GIVE money, time, food and expertise, but on Saturday, some of the Surrey Food Bank’s top supporters will be on the receiving end of gratitude. “Saying thank you is tough, because we say thank you all year long,” says Surrey Food Bank Executive Director Marilyn Herrmann. One way to recognize the many food bank boosters is with the annual Donor Recognition Awards, which will take place at an open house tomorrow (Saturday, Dec. 4). Twenty-eight different groups and individuals who gave extra effort this year will be thanked by food bank staff and volunteers. Among them are Surrey Mac’s Convenience Stores, which partnered with the Surrey Board of Education for a contest to see which two high schools and three elementary schools could raise the most donations for the food bank. The top five schools will share Mac’s of the contribution of $5,000 for the schools to use for their own programs. Mac’s, which also made separate donations to the Surrey Food Bank, will be recognized as Outstanding Grocery Store Supporter. “They have been very generous to us in the last couple of months,” says Tiffany Parton, manager of resources and development at the Surrey Food Bank. Nucleus Labs will be being recognized as a Top New Community Supporter for the donation of resources The Leader for the installation and maintenance of a new Surrey introduces you Food Bank computerized client registration system. to the people in Nucleus labs, based in Vancouver, specializes in your community health care software. who are BMO Employee Charitable Foundation and Knights of Columbus’ Cedar Club, which will be recserved by ognized for other contributions, covered some of the – and who serve – cost of the installation of the software. the food bank The Devoted Donor Award will go to the Vancouver Building Trades Council, an umbrella group for a SPECIAL SERIES number of trade unions. The council gave about $11,000 in each of the past two years to the Surrey Food Bank. RedFM, recognized as the Top Food Drive – Group or Organization, was recognized for an eight-hour fundraiser that helped fill two five-tonne trucks with donations from South Asian radio listeners. The donations totalled 20,000 lbs. of food. “It is without a doubt the largest one-day business food drive that we have,” says Herrmann.

FACES

The community is invited to meet the staff, volunteers and special supporters of The Surrey Food Bank at the open house on Dec. 4 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 10732 135 St. The donor awards will be at 11:30 a.m. Cookies and coffee will be served and the Fleetwood Secondary School choir will perform. Come and see the new refrigerated truck donated by the Knights of Columbus’ Cedar Club and the new client registration system. For more information, or to help with corporate or individual donations, call 604-581-5443 or visit www.surreyfoodbank.org

But something happened the night of Thursday, Nov. 25 in Whalley when Phelan went to make a purchase at a liquor store near the 10700 block of 135A Street around 11 p.m. Two officers from the RCMP’s Lower Mainland District Emergency Response Team on patrol in the area discovered Phelan lying in the centre of 135A Street. He was dead. The street is where some of the poorest and most desperate people in Surrey hang out, some of them homeless, drug-addicted or mentally unstable. “He (Phelan) doesn’t belong in this neighbourhood,” said Cpl. Dale Carr, spokesman for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT). Carr said Phelan was not a “provoker,” not someone who would start a fight. “Not only does this incident appear to have been an unprovoked attack, it was on a person that was unable to properly defend themselves or at the very least try to get away,” Carr added. On Wednesday, police returned to the scene of the crime to make a public statement formally identifying Phelan as the victim. Carr said forensic evidence clearly shows Phelan was murdered. He would not give details. “We will not be releasing the manner of death in this instance,” Carr told reporters.

Cpl. Dale Carr “We are keeping that close to the vest as an investigational strategy,” he said. McKinnon spoke for her parents and more than a dozen other family members who attended the police news conference and laid flowers at a curb-side memorial for her brother. “There aren’t words that can express our shock at the cruelty of the death he suffered,” she said. “The initial shock is wearing off but I find myself swinging between grief and anger. I try not to feel angry because Paul wouldn’t want that.” Anyone with information is asked to call the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-IHIT.

Five people and one firefighter were injured in the Tuesday morning blaze. Two young girls perished in the fire.

Cause: Not yet known From page 1 Firefighters in protective gear managed to extricate all nine people inside, members of two families who shared the house. Five people were injured and required hospital treatment. Two girls, aged two and five, could not be revived. They were sleeping in same room on the second floor of the house. That was where one firefighter suffered burns to 30 per cent of his body when he was caught by a sudden blast of searing heat. He is expected to recover from a

mix of first-, second- and third-degree burns, mostly to his legs and torso. Neighbours said the girls were twoyear-old Priya and her five-year-old sister Sajel. The parents of the two girls are distraught with grief, relative Rajwinder Saroya told CTV News “[The mother] is just crying,” Saroya said. “She is saying she has no life to live now. Dad is crying, saying, ‘can I get one more chance to grab my daughters from inside?’ ” The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but initial indications are it was not suspicious.

Surrey/North Delta Leader

Multiple MLAs only show up for opportunities suites must go RE: B.C. LIBERAL leadership candidates Moira

HOW DO DIANNE Watts, Tom

Gill and the rest of council ever expect us to believe that their new secondary suite policy is going to work? Bob Bose stated recently that they never have shut down any suite in his recollection. I wish they would let us all know how they are going to shut down the estimated 4,000 multiple suites, which is probably more like 6,000 or 7,000 because Surrey always estimates low when it comes to illegal suites. While they are now in the process of legalizing one suite per house, there are still thousands of people wanting to put in one suite in their house but were very lawabiding in not doing so while the suites were illegal. These additional suites will make the neighbourhood streets totally impassible. This could theoretically double the amount of suites in any neighbourhood. Where do they intend to park? Will they start parking on front lawns, having a concrete jungle or gravel all over the front yards? Or maybe they will just park on the road more than they do now and have a sign out there saying, “No parking, tenants only?” We all know now there is no way that we can stop one suite per home but as mentioned above, the multiple suites have to go down to one suite per home and we shouldn’t be lied to when we know this will never happen in Surrey. You know it, I know it, Dianne Watts, Tom Gill and the rest of council know it also. At least Lois Jackson, the mayor of Delta, has passed a bylaw that will fine multiple suite homes $200 per day until the multiple suites are removed. Good for her and Delta. Surrey is not going to hire 100 or so more bylaw officers to enforce the socalled new rules. We all know the only way Surrey will ever handle the problem of multiple suites is to tax or fine them out of existence. We shouldn’t have to listen to council’s rhetoric on this enormous problem unless something is done 100 per cent. Ross Woloshyn Surrey

Stilwell and George Abbott. When Stilwell ran for MLA in VancouverLangara in 2009, she was nowhere to be seen. Community groups were forced to cancel all-candidates’ debates because she refused to participate. Other than a plethora of campaign signs, there was no sign of her on the campaign trail. As health minister, Abbott repeatedly refused to participate in public health care discussion forums before the 2009 election. He was a

no-show at events organized by the B.C. Health Coalition, Canadian Diabetes Association and others, despite having been invited many weeks in advance. He repeatedly claimed “scheduling conflicts” were to blame, but refused to send anyone in his place. Both these Liberal MLAs have shown contempt for voters by refusing to appear at public debates to defend their government’s many controversial policies. They seem to think the people of B.C. should just rubber stamp their election to the legisla-

ture without having any opportunity to hear them speak or question them. By their silence, Moira Stilwell and George Abbott have repeatedly shown they are not “leaders” in any sense of the word. They do not deserve to be MLAs, let alone the head of a political party or premier of our province. Their lack of respect for the democratic process renders them unfit for public office.

Off-leash and off the hook RE: “RIGHTS and responsibility,” The Leader,

A letter writer complains about the lack of enforcement against off-leash dogs at Fleetwood Park.

Too many unanswered questions in Berner case IT WAS RIGHT for Carol Berner’s

lawyer to appeal her drunk driving conviction and sentence because this trial shows once more the police’s sloppy work for the following reasons. First, why was the car – the most important piece of evidence – destroyed before it could be examined by Carol’s defense team for mechanical failure? Because Carol mentioned a few times that the car was out of control, and there must be a reason for that. Second, it’s interesting that breathalyzers have been recalled for potential malfunction. Was

the breathalyzer Carol used accurate or not? Third, where is this police officer who carried out the measurements at the crash site? He must have been very sick, for not being able to attend the 16-day trial to explain his notes and observations of the accident. Is he still sick? Fourth, it’s strange that someone else was brought in who testified that the crash-scene data was “incorrectly plotted or measured.” How did this person know, because he wasn’t at the crash site? Fifth, isn’t it strange that none of the witnesses at the crash site

smelled alcohol or noticed that Carol was impaired at the time of the accident? Last but not least, why was a big TV screen brought into the courthouse? To heighten the emotions or because it was called a “high-profile” case? Isn’t this car death not just as tragic as some others? Don’t many accidental deaths deserve two months of undercover police work? So, Carol is right to dispute the 30-month jail sentence she got, because there are still too many questions unanswered.

Nov. 26. The city should be held responsible when vicious dogs repeatedly attack and harm children or other dogs. In the City of White Rock case, the city had sent a letter to the owner of a known attack dog, but 18 months elapsed and the dog was free to kill a small dog. I live near Fleetwood Park and two years ago a golden retriever running off-leash in the park seriously injured my small dog. She needed two surgeries and suffered horrible trauma. My vet told me that many dogs have been attacked in Fleetwood Park. This park posts warning signs for owners to leash their dogs, but in 20 years, I have never seen a uniformed bylaw officer in the park handing out fines for off-leash dogs. I wonder how the city spends the dog licence fees they collect. When my dog was a five-pound puppy, a uniformed bylaw officer invaded our neighbourhood twice to make sure we registered our dog. The officer approached kids playing in the street to ask them if we had a dog. These officers also knock on doors to listen for dogs barking, and then the city sends out letters. Again, I have not witnessed bylaw officers pursuing dog owners who offend the leashing bylaws. I am sending a copy of this letter to the City of Surrey along with my dog licence renewal cheque, and I urge other concerned citizens to do the same. I hope to see officers patrolling the trails at Fleetwood Park because they will surely find many loose dogs. S. Moore, Surrey

Falcon a Cloverdale alien THANK YOU for reporting that Kevin

Falcon is joining the Liberal leadership race, for many of his Cloverdale constituents were not sure that he existed. Like a phantom, he hovers over hospital diggings and flies into photo-ops but is impossible to see in the flesh. He is a new type of UFO, Unidentified Flying Officeholder – moving in higher circles, alien to the people on the street. Jim McMurtry Cloverdale

Mountie faces separate internal investigation Black Press A SURREY RCMP officer

will not face trial on charges he pointed a gun at group of teens. The Crown prosecutor’s office has stayed

the charges against Const. Jason Gernhart, who was responding to a disturbance call at night in a park involving a group of youths when the alleged incident took place.

For the record A HEADLINE in the Nov. 26 Leader incorrectly indicated it would cost $250,000 to build Metro Vancouver’s planned new water tunnel to serve the Surrey area. In fact, the cost of the tunnel project is estimated at $230 million.

He was charged with five counts under the Canadian Criminal Code section which states, “Every person commits an offence who, without lawful excuse, points a firearm at another person, whether the firearm is loaded or unloaded.” He was assigned to

administrative, nonoperational duties after the incident. He had under two years of service at the time. Gernhart still faces a separate internal RCMP Code of Conduct investigation related to the incident.

Phoney affiliation Pastor says Newton church not site for questionable single parent â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;food bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Vikki Hopes A MAN behind a questionable food

bank operation that was recently canvassing for funds in Abbotsford has a new website with misleading information. Mirek Kwasny, a Mission resident who runs the Single Parent Food Bank (SPFB), lists two churches as food distribution sites. However, a spokesman from one of the churches says they have no current connection to the service. Newton Fellowship Baptist Church, based in Surrey, is listed on the website (singleparentfoodbank.org) as a distribution centre open three Wednesdays a month. The senior pastor said the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affiliation with SPFB is minor and dates back to the 1990s, when the group used a truck on the property to store food items. He said there has been no association with SPFB for several years, and he has requested that the church be removed from the website. Calls and emails to SPFB have not yet been returned, he said. New Heights Church in Mission is also listed as a location, with instructions for people to call the SPFB office number to arrange food delivery. Emails to the church and its pastor were not returned, and phone calls to the church went to voicemail.

The only other physical location listed on the SPFB website is for a storage facility in Port Coquitlam. On the websiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home page, Single Parent Food Bank is identified as being a non-profit society through the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). The group had its status as a registered charity revoked in March 2008, when it operated as Canadian Charity Assist Society. This means it can no longer issue official donation receipts for income tax purposes. A 2008 letter from CRA to Kwasny and obtained by Black Press said an audit identified that the charity â&#x20AC;&#x153;had not maintained adequate books, records or internal accounting controls.â&#x20AC;? It also stated that the directors of the charity received payments in 2003 which â&#x20AC;&#x153;were not substantiated as employment income or proceeds from fundraising activities.â&#x20AC;? The audit also revealed that the charity used two contracted fundraisers who earned 66.6 and 50 per cent of the total donations raised. The door-to-door method of fundraising is still being used. On Nov. 25, an online job posting on Craiglist sought door-to-door canvassers for $13 per hour, with a link to the singleparentfoodbank.org website. The ad has since been removed. The SPFB did not respond to emails or phone calls placed by Black Press. newsroom@surreyleader.com

City of Surrey creates a safety endowment Grant and scholarships funded by ﬁre symposium by Kevin Diakiw PROCEEDS from immensely suc-

cessful fire symposiums hosted by Surrey will go to further public safety research. On Sept. 15, the Surrey Fire Department held an event in New Westminster that outlined the best practices in fighting highrise fires. The symposium netted $30,000. The city has decided to put the money toward establishing a City of Surrey Fire Research Endowment, the first scholarship fund in B.C. targeting research in public safety. Of the total, Surrey will provide a $5,000 research grant, which will be matched by the Centre for Public Safety and Criminal Justice Research and the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice at University College of the Fraser Valley (UFV). The one-time $10,000 grant is available, in whole or in part, for public safety research projects by application to the university. The remaining $25,000 endowment will provide an annual scholarship of $1,000 at UFV. The Managing High Rises: A

administration of police discipline.” No date has been set yet for the hearing. The DPD cleared the Vancouver officers of abusing their authority when they injured an innocent man during a Jan. 21 raid. Vancouver resident Yao Wei Wu suffered a facial bone fracture and bruises when two VPD officers forced their way into his home. They had gone to the wrong location to rescue a woman with a 10-month-old baby who called 911 to say her husband was drunk and had assaulted her.

THE DELTA Police Department (DPD) investigation that cleared two Vancouver Police officers who roughed up the wrong man was described as “flawed” by B.C. Complaint commissioner Stan Lowe, who overturned Delta Police Chief Jim Cessford’s findings on Tuesday and ordered a public hearing. In his written order, Lowe said a public hearing was required to “preserve or restore public confidence in the investigation and the

Wu claimed the officers pulled him out the door and beat him, but Cessford said a review of the evidence supports the police who said they forced Wu to the ground when he resisted. The injury to the eye occurred when Wu hit the ground, Cessford said. He ruled the officers were acting in good faith and used a reasonable amount of force under the circumstances. Cessford added Wu was entitled to an apology for the mistake that resulted from confusion about the location of the 911 call, which was made

with a cellphone that did not disclose the exact address. Cessford supports the creation of a special investigative unit to all complaints against police. While he maintains police are capable of unbiased investigations of other police, Cessford told a recent Delta Police Board meeting it is clear many members of the public don’t agree. “They don’t like that,” Cessford said. “They have concern about it and it compromises trust and confidence in the policing community.”

BURNABY

A SURREY man is suing the Delta Police Department (DPD) over his arrest in a strip mall parking lot on the border between Surrey and Delta in May. The lawsuit was filed in B.C. Supreme Court on Nov. 12 by Ken Ritchie against the municipality of Delta, the DPD and Const. David Mason. The bulk plant operator says he was surrounded by several DPD officers, handcuffed and held in custody for more than an hour without ever being told why. In his statement of claim filed in the B.C. Supreme Court New Westminster registry, Ritchie states that he rode his bicycle on May 14 of this year to shop for groceries in the Safeway store at the 64 Avenue and Scott Road shopping mall on the Delta side of the street. As he was leaving the store around 12:30 p.m. Ritchie says he was surrounded by several DPD officers. He says he was handcuffed by Mason and

kept standing outside the store for 30 minutes before he was put in the back seat of a police vehicle for another 45 minutes, all in plain view. A friend of his tried to tell the officers they’d made a mistake, but the police held him another 20 minutes before they let him go. He says he was never informed of the reason for his arrest by the police or informed that he was charged with any specific offence. Ritchie complained the handcuffs were too tight, but the DPD officers didn’t loosen them. He is seeking an unspecified amount of compensation for unlawful arrest and detainment, in particular the pain and injury to his wrists including “cuts, contusions and bruises,” embarrassment, loss of dignity and “intentional infliction of nervous shock” by the officers. The lawsuit contains statements that have not been proven in court. The DPD has not yet filed a statement of defence.

Black Press DELTA POLICE are hoping to douse an alleged fraud-

ster’s scheme. Police said local businesses have reported a man who is passing himself off as a fire extinguisher maintenance worker. He obtains the company’s fire extinguisher, leaves the store briefly and returns submitting an invoice for “work” done charging between $20 and $45. The suspect is described as 5’6”, heavy set, with short brown hair, and was wearing dark coloured clothing and jeans. Police said there have been two similar reports at business premises in the Ladner area. Delta Police are investigating in an effort to locate and arrest the suspect.

Feds, B.C. hike costs of policing Dumping responsibility on municipalities: Delta by Dan Ferguson NEXT YEAR, the municipality of Delta will have to

spend an extra $1.2 million on policing because of changes imposed by the provincial and federal governments. That represents a four-per-cent increase to the Delta Police Department (DPD) annual budget of $29 million, one that will not put any extra officers on the beat, a report to the Delta Police Board notes. The assessment by DPD Planning and Development Manager Melissa Granum says among other things, the imposed costs include an overhaul of the way public complaints against police are handled, a doubling of the membership fees charged Delta by a compulsory provincially operated computer system that links all B.C. police, and the price of installing video gear in police lock-ups that was ordered after a number of in-custody deaths in other communities. The Granum report cites other examples of downloading by other levels of governments above and beyond the $1.2 million, including several expensive drug and gang investigations that the report describes as federal responsibilities. They include two relatively recent homicide investigations involving gang activity that spread beyond Delta’s boundaries that together cost $2.3 million. The Delta report will be shared with the other 11 municipal police departments in B.C. in a bid to form a united front to lobby the federal and provincial governments for funding. dferguson@surreyleader.com

Protest fisheries may net fines

A great read! #200-5450-152nd Street, Surrey 604-575-2744 www.surreyleader.com

Emotions still raw about unequal rules for First Nations by Jeff Nagel FORTY-EIGHT com-

mercial fishermen who staged illegal protest fisheries on the Fraser River in 2001 and 2002 to try to force Ottawa to crack down on aboriginal salmon poaching will likely pay fines of no more than $200. That’s the penalty prosecutors are calling for while the convicted fishermen – who include Conservative MP John Cummins and B.C. Fisheries Survival Coalition spokesman Phil Eidsvik – say they should be given absolute discharges, with no record. The case has been grinding through the courts for years and a Nov. 25 sentencing hearing in Surrey heard longstanding grievances of lax policing of aboriginal fisheries, a blind eye being turned by federal officials to unreported native catches and widespread black market sales of food fish. “How can you possibly have a law for this guy and a separate law for me?” demanded Russel Jacobson, one of the fishermen being sentenced. Eidsvik, who represented the group in court, said protesters tried to distribute salmon for local causes – not for profit – and said it helped defuse tensions on the river, averting potential violence. “We decided we’d have a food fishery ourselves,” he said. “They’d have to bust us. And then they’d have to bust everybody.” Eidsvik tabled evidence that some lower Fraser bands caught enough salmon in 2002 food fisheries to provide more than 1,000 pounds of fish per band member – far more than they could conceivably consume. “It is the Department [of Fisheries and Oceans] that has no respect for the law,” he said. Dennis Brown, a representative of Fraser River gillnetters but not one of the protesters, told the court DFO ceded effective enforcement of native fisheries by signing agreements with bands, such as one with the Cheam that severely limited the ability of fishery officers to conduct patrols.

“In my opinion, there’s a kind of fog around the whole area of political correctness

that obscures what would otherwise be routine policy decisions,” Brown said.

Judge James Wingham said he heard the frustrations about the perceived injustice but cautioned

fishermen they lost their legal battle. Eidsvik and Cummins accept the defeat.

BABYCARE

They say fishermen don’t like it but won’t conduct more protests.

try to bust myths and quell public fear about tanker safety after the recent tripling of crude oil exports through Burrard Inlet and the possibility Kinder Morgan may try to more than double the current capacity of its pipeline that brings oil from northern Alberta to its terminal in Burnaby. “We practice things like complete shutdowns of tankers and other vessels in narrow passages such as Second Narrows, loss of engines, loss of steering – those kinds of things,” Port Metro Vancouver chief operating officer Chris Badger told Metro’s port cities committee Nov. 24. Panelists said there’s great misunderstanding about the “underkeel” requirement that a ship clear the seabed by at least 10 per cent of its draft. For tankers that typically sit 13 metres deep in the water, that in theory means as little as 1.3 metres of clearance – a number opponents have seized on as far too risky. But that minimum requirement applies across the full 120metre width of the channel tankers are permitted to use, according to Kevin Obermeyer, president and CEO of the Pacific Pilotage Authority, the federal agency that oversees the pilots who guide and dock heavy ships coming to B.C. Only if a tanker strayed to the shallow edge of the channel would it have less than two metres of water beneath its bottom as it passes the Second Narrows, he said. While centred in the deeper water at mid-channel – where it’s supposed to be and where it’s kept harnessed on track by tugs – an oil tanker would have 12 metres or more clearance, he said. Each tanker moves through Burrard Inlet with three tugs guiding it and exercises have shown they can control the ship even if there’s a major mechanical failure like a stuck rudder, Obermeyer said. North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton asked what would happen if a pilot guiding a tanker suffered a heart attack, the tanker ruptured and was stranded leaking

oil. “Despite the reassurances, we all get very scared by the one meter more or less clearance under the bridge,” he said. “It just sounds very scary.” Obermeyer said each oil tanker is required to carry two pilots in B.C. waters, so a backup is in place. Tankers move slowly and only at slack tide when there’s no current and all must be doublehulled. If a rock pierced a tanker’s first skin, Badger said the chances the second would also be breached is low. If that did happen, mayors demanded, how can cleanup agency Burrard Clean’s capacity to handle a 10,000-tonne oil spill be sufficient when most tankers are laden with 110,000 tonnes? Ships are compartmentalized, Badger said, so the response should be sufficient to recover all the oil draining from either one main tank or else two ruptured side tanks. A bigger spill than 10,000 tonnes could draw a Coast Guard response plus trigger mutual aid agreements with cleanup agencies in Washington State. “The movement of oil is a risky business,” he conceded, but said the aim is to make it as safe as possible. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said he was concerned to hear Obermeyer talk of oil tanker crews sometimes arriving here with poor English language skills, training and often suffering from fatigue. “It sent shivers up my spine,” he said. “I would like to have better faith in the people operating massive tankers and ships on the coast of British Columbia.” He said a 2007 spill of oil into Burrard Inlet when the Kinder Morgan pipeline was ruptured is further evidence cities are being forced to take on great risk so petroleum can be profitably exported. Kinder Morgan officials say they’re far from deciding whether to increase the Trans Mountain pipeline’s capacity from 300,000 barrels a day now to 700,000. About 70 tankers a year now come to Port Metro Vancouver. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Georgies: going for gold Excellence in the industry recognized with awards TRICIA LESLIE Putting your work forward for extremely close inspection and judging by industry peers can be a daunting prospect. Yet that’s exactly what many B.C. homebuilders, renovators, developers, designers

and marketers have done, in order to enter this year’s Georgie Awards, the province’s premier housing event. Named after Captain George Vancouver, the Georgies were started by a group of industry professionals in 1992 as a way to provide value to the residential construction industry and communities throughout British Columbia. “It was a way to showcase and celebrate the excellent work that local people do in our industry,” says Scott Whitemarsh, executive

Owned by the Canadian Homebuilders’ Association of B.C., the awards aim to highlight the commitment and dedication to the high standards that CHBA BC member companies strive to hold. Whitemarsh says that quality is obvious when one sees the finalists – from a French country manor in Anmore to an eco-rainforest retreat in Tofino to a West Coast zen CONTINUED ON P.2

For the first time in more than a year, housing affordability improved in Canada in the third quarter of 2010, according to a report released Monday by RBC Economics. The Housing Trends and Affordability report says a drop in mortgage rates and some softening in home prices made it easier for Canadian buyers to purchase their homes in recent months, after four consecutive quarters of rising home ownership costs. “The improvement in affordability during the third quarter has relieved some of the stress that had been mounting in Canada’s housing market over the past year,” says RBC senior economist Robert Hogue. The report notes that, at the national level, the third-quarter improvement in affordability reversed almost two-thirds of the cumulative deterioration that took place over the previous four quarters. RBC’s Housing Affordability Measure calculates how much pre-tax income is required to cover all the costs associated with owning a home. All provinces saw improvements in housing affordability in the third quarter, especially British Columbia, but the cost of home ownership in B.C. remains high by historical standards, the report notes. “Higher mortgage rates will be the dominant factor raising home ownership costs beyond the short-term, although increasing household income – as the job situation continues to strengthen in in Canada – will provide some positive offset,” Hogue says. “We expect housing demand and supply to remain mostly in balance overall, setting the course for very modest home price increases.” For the full report, visit www.rbc.com economics/

‘A very high level of competition’ CONTINUED FROM P.1

gem in South Surrey – because “there isn’t any sub-par work.” “The product speaks for itself,” he says. CHBA BC president Vicki Gerrits, who has been a Georgie finalist 46 times and won 16 gold Georgies with her company Homescape Building and Design, agrees. “It’s a very high level of competition. We’re a small-volume builder and we entered for the first time in 1996. And it was probably one of the single best things we could have ever done,” Gerrits says. “It’s an automatic quantifier, a third-part endorsement ... it’s so valuable to have someone else tell other people that you’re good at what you do.” With the 19th annual awards underway, people now recognize the Georgie Award symbol and know what the awards are, Gerrits says, noting she always displays her Georgie logos proudly. But you don’t have to win a Georgie to feel proud, she adds. “Anyone who is a finalist should be proud of what they’ve accomplished. When you see the product, the competition you’re up against ... it’s incredible.” Portrait Homes, for example, snagged 11 Georgie finalist spots for its work in the master-planned community of Silver Ridge in Maple Ridge – a development that has already been recognized with more than 80 industry

awards. A Georgie Award is recognized as an “industry stamp of quality,” notes a Portrait release. “We’re all very pleased to be finalists,” says Portrait Homes marketing and sales manager Troy Steine. “We are fortunate to have such a beautiful place to build, but (the recognition) is great. It reinforces that we’re doing the right thing.” That sentiment is echoed at Clay Construction, where owner and president Larry Clay has been named a finalist twice for two luxurious South Surrey homes he built in Morgan Heights. The high-end homebuilder says it’s his first time entering the Georgie Awards. “We are super excited. To even be a finalist ... it’s a real honour,” Clay says. “We find that customers who want highend homes know who the Georgie winners are.” Whitemarsh notes the awards are becoming more consumer-focused, with a new Customer Choice Georgie powered by AVID ratings, and two new categories that reflect local trends in homebuilding and renovating: Best Outdoor Living Space and Best Condo Renovation. More and more people are seeking to create outdoor living areas, or extensions of their indoor space, while sales and renos of older condos are on the rise, Whitemarsh says. Finalists in all 43 categories were selected from hundreds of nominations by a judging panel brought in from outside the province. Judges are always from other provinces or the U.S. to ensure impartiality, and are chosen for their experience in the industry and expertise in their field, he notes. “I think it’s important to recognize the professional builders and renovators out there, for their leadership and innovation as well as their high-quality work,” says Whitemarsh. “Not a lot of people want to stand up and be scrutinized by their peers.” Winners will be honoured at a gala event in Vancouver March 5.

Locals eyed by NHL scouts by Rick Kupchuk TWO FORMER Cloverdale Minor

Jordan Hall puts his arms around father Phil and mother Michelle moments after he became the ﬁrst overall selection at the 2007 NLL draft. The three-year NLL veteran – and Surrey resident – will play for Canada at next spring’s World Indoor Lacrosse Championships in Prague, Czech Republic.

Hall gets the call from Canada Surrey lacrosse player to participate in world championships by Rick Kupchuk HE’S REPRESENTED Canada before in the out-

door game. Next spring, Jordan Hall will play for his country’s indoor team at the World Lacrosse Championship tournament May 21-28 in Prague, Czech Republic. Surrey’s Hall, a first round pick of the New York Titans in the 2007 National Lacrosse League (NLL) draft, is among the first five players named to the Canadian team late last month. The remainder of the team will be selected throughout the NLL season which begins in January. “I’m honoured to represent Canada,” Hall

said. “I’ve done it in field lacrosse and, for a guy who grew up playing box lacrosse, I’m happy to get the chance to do it indoors.” Hall, 26, was part of the Canadian team which won the silver medal at the 2010 World Field Lacrosse Championships in Manchester, England. Three of the other four players named to the 2011 indoor team – Ontario natives Dan Dawson and John Grant Jr. and Colin Doyle – were Hall’s teammates in Manchester. “I’m not exactly sure yet what my role will be,” said Hall of the tournament in Prague. “But just to play with Junior and Doyle off the left side, and Dawson is such a super talent, it’ll be an experience to remember.” One thing he won’t need to get used to is the

head coach. Ed Comeau was Hall’s head coach for the last two seasons with the Titans. “Eddie is a great coach,” Hall said. “He’s really relaxed and really smart. Anytime you go up against a team, you know what to expect because he’s very thorough.” Hall began his NLL career in New York, playing with the Titans, staying with the team after it’s relocation to Orlando, Florida. He has scored 65 goals and added 159 assists in 47 regular-season NLL games, for a total of 224 points. He will suit up for the Rochester Knighthawks for the upcoming season, having been claimed by the team in a dispersal draft after the Titans folded earlier in the year.

Hockey Association teammates are listed in the NHL Central Scouting’s preliminary rankings released Nov. 16. Defenceman Tyler Wotherspoon is ranked ninth among Western Hockey League (WHL) defenceman, while netminder Laurent Brossoit is listed fourth among goaltenders. The rankings, released Nov. 16, rate the top prospects in the Ontario, Quebec, Western and U.S. hockey leagues. Central Scouting will release overall midseason rankings later in the season, with a final list of all prospects prior to the National Hockey League Entry Draft June 24-25 in St. Paul, Minnesota. After playing minor hockey in Cloverdale, Wotherspoon and Brossoit both went on to play a season with the B.C. Major Midget League Valley West Hawks in the 2008-09 season, before starting their junior careers a year later. Wotherspoon joined the WHL’s Portland Winter Hawks, and in his second full season the 6’2” 203-pound defenceman has five assists and is plus-four in 22 games played. He is currently ranked ninth among all drafteligible WHL skaters. Brossoit joined the Cowichan Valley Capitals last season, compiling a 3.66 goals against average and a .901 save percentage. Joining the Edmonton Oil Kings for this year, the 6’3” 202-pound 17-year-old has a 3.76 goals against average and a .878 save percentage. He is rated fourth among WHL goaltenders.

week earlier, the Kwantlen Eagles dropped a pair to the Camosun Chargers in B.C. Colleges Athletic Association (BCCAA) women’s basketball play last weekend. The Eagles allowed 52 second half points in a 78-57 loss Friday night, then were beaten again Saturday 86-53. Both games were at the Surrey campus of Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

opponent which allowed an average of less than eight points per game, the Frank Hurt Hornets stunned the Belmont Bulldogs of Victoria to win the Ackles Cup. The Hornets, a team which had to win their final regular season game just to qualify for the B.C. High School Football Association’s Tier 2 playoffs, scored the lone touchdown of the second half and hung on for a 21-16 victory Saturday afternoon at the University of British Columbia’s Thunderbird Stadium. Belmont took an early lead with an unconverted touchdown, but trailed 14-6 after the first

quarter as Frank Hurt got converted scores from Josh Krantz on an 81-yard punt return and Jeremy Reid on a 65-yard run. The touchdown by Krantz was his third of the playoffs on a kick return. The Bulldogs scored 10 points in the second quarter on a 23-yard field goal and a return of a Hornets fumble for a converted major score. Reid put the Surrey school back in front in the third quarter, scoring on a five-yard run for the final points of the game. Leading a solid Hornets defensive effort were linebackers Manuel Galindo and Aldous Esperanza, and defensive back Tari Rai. The Frank Hurt rushing attack was led by Esperanza, Jake Reiter and Reid.

IN A WEEK that saw three of the top four teams all lose, the Surrey United Firefighters found themselves among the upset victims in the Vancouver Metro Soccer League play last weekend. United fell 1-0 to the last place Serbian White Eagles Sunday night in Burnaby, just the third Surrey loss of the season in 13 games, and just the second victory by the White Eagles. Surrey allowed the game’s only goal in the 33rd minute, then dominated play the rest of the way only to be denied a tying goal. Lucas Barrett, Ryan Reynolds and Rizal Ganief all had excellent scoring opportunities, but failed to beat the White Eagles netminder. United will host Westside FC tomorrow (Saturday) at noon at Cloverdale Athletic Park. Westside upended fourth place West Van FC, keeping the losing team a point back of Surrey in the 14-team Premier Division standings. Two other Surrey-based teams in

the Premier Division earned rare victories last weekend. ICST Pegasus edged Akal FC 2-1 Sunday night at Newton Athletic Park, a result that left both teams tied with Croatia FC for ninth place. Diaz Kambere and Meysam Soltani netted the Pegasus goals, with Abu Hussein replying for Akal, a goal which tied the score 1-1 at halftime. Pegasus hosts the White Eagles tonight (Friday) at 8:30 p.m. at Newton Athletic Park, while Akal is in Vancouver to face Columbus Sunday. The Punjab Hurricanes won for just the second time this season Saturday evening at Newton Athletic Park, hammering the Sapperton Rovers 7-0. Roman Doutkevich paced the Hurricanes with three goals, the third from the penalty spot, while Gagan Josan netted a pair. Manvir and Joey Brar notched one each to complete the scoring. The Hurricanes, who stayed out of the league basement with the win, will visit Richmond FC tomorrow.

Six groups to split $92,000 THE SURREY Founda-

tion has awarded $92,000 to six community projects that will contribute to making Surrey a more welcoming and inclusive community. The funding of these projects is one of several components of the Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Welcoming and Inclusive Communities (WIC) project, funded by WelcomeBC, which has been underway since November 2009. The Surrey Public Library will address a primary issue, which is informing newcomers

about, and connecting them to, skill appropriate work, by developing a program entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Opening Doors to Employment in Libraries.â&#x20AC;? The Surrey Food Bank, in connection with DiverseCityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community Kitchen, will develop the Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for Dinner? project, working with newcomers to teach them how to cook with the Canadian food typically found in Food Bank hampers. The Surrey RCMP will conduct research and develop a training guide for members and auxiliary staff that will contribute to their increased ability to deliver culturally sensitive community

policing. The Kinsmen Place Lodge will undertake research to support neighbourhoodoriented placement of seniors, clustering seniors of similar cultures and backgrounds, when possible, so that they can be in an environment where their language is spoken and the food is familiar, to help them feel settled and comfortable. Umoja Operation Compassion Society will undertake a project with youth and their parents, which will provide them with the information youth need in order to successfully adapt to living in Surrey. The project will also facilitate opportunities for

parent-child dialogue, a chance for both to explore the conflicts that emerge when different values and life experiences collide. Surrey Community Development Services will develop a series of tours for newcomer families to expose them to the recreational, library and heritage services available in Surrey. The six projects focus on four essential life areas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; family, economics, education and community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very pleased to support the leadership and innovation shown by these organizationsâ&#x20AC;?, said Mary Miller and Kim Angel, co-leaders of the WIC project.

The Surrey/North Delta Leader

A pantomime wonderland Royal Canadian Theatre Company presents its annual holiday musical-comedy by Sheila Reynolds

here’s always over-acting. The costumes and scenery generally look like a Crayola truck spill. The audience heckles, cheers and boos. And it’s all perfectly acceptable – even expected. Alan Cedargreen recalls going to pantomimes every year as a child in London, sitting wide-eyed in the audience each holiday season as he watched the overthe-top family musicals. One of his earliest memories, in fact, is from when he was a preschooler at a pantomime production. “This great huge black spider came out of the top of the stage and scared the blooming hell out of me,” he laughs. “It must have been Little Miss Muffet or something.” Growing up in the United Kingdom, pantomimes were a part of life for the little boy – as they were, and continue to be, for most residents. The pantomime, not to be confused with non-speaking, white-faced mime acting, is a musical-comedy characterized not only by bright colours and silly antics, but by the fact the lead boy is always played by a female who inevitably falls for the lead girl. The shows traditionally take place during the holiday season, beginning just before Christmas and continuing early into the new year. The most popular person in the panto is often the Dame, an older woman who is played by a man in drag. And that’s where Cedargreen steps in. “It’s never played as if I’m a drag queen,” the seasoned actor says of his more-than two decades of experience. “I never do anything in bad taste. It’s always corny. I’m friendly with everyone. Sometimes I flirt with some of the older men in the audience, but without ever crossing the line of good taste.” It is a family show, after all. “It’s for grandchildren and grandparents.” This year, Cedargreen is filling the shoes of Dame Patti Cake in The Royal Canadian Theatre Company’s version of Alice in Wonderland, coming to the Surrey Arts Centre in mid-December. Directed by longtime actress, director and company founder Ellie King, the twisted tale again builds on King’s reputation of presenting very traditional English pantos. Cedargreen has played a Dame for 25 years – the past 20 under King’s direction.

“She knows it all,” he says. The audience, however, also takes on a significant role in the panto convention – and kids and families are encouraged to get involved by hissing at the villain, cheering the hero and shouting out suggestions and direction to the actors. “Some of the biggest laughs I’ve had have come from kids in the audience,” says Cedargreen. Taking on another lead role this year is Surrey’s Crystal Weltzin. Relatively new to pantos – she was a chorus member in last year’s production of Robin Hood – the Grade 12 student is playing Alice this time around and absolutely loving it. “It’s wonderful. I’m learning so much from my fellow actors, from Ellie ... it’s just such a wonderful experience. “It’s inspirational, it’s rewarding, it’s gratifying, it’s encouraging.” Weltzin, a student at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary, says her Alice character isn’t necessarily the sweet and naive girl depicted in the Disney version of the story. “She’s definite, she knows what she wants, she’s opinionated, and she’s also curious about this whole new Wonderland world,” the 17-year-old says. “She’s a smart character, but it’s interesting how she handles her problems.” Musically, the show has something for everyone. Cedargreen, Alan Cedargreen as for example, has a solo from the 1920s, but there’s also a Lady Dame Patti Cake. Gaga tune in the mix. Weltzin also sings an original piece called Alice Alone. Also cast in the pantomime are Judy Higginbotham (White Queen), Kerri Norris (Red Queen), Mike Roberds (Mad Hatter), Kaitlin Sandwell (White Rabbit), James King (Demon King), Amanda Ram (Principal Boy), Michael Charrois (March Hare) and Jacqueline Becher (Dormouse). With opening night less than two weeks away, Weltzin is waiting eagerly in the wings. “The adrenaline rush is definitely the most fun part – seeing the audience and opening up all the energy you can give to the audience and all the energy they can give back.”

Kaitlin Sandwell plays the White Rabbit and Crystal Weltzin is Alice in The Royal Canadian Theatre Company’s upcoming production of Alice in Wonderland at the Surrey Arts Centre.

Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tamanawis Secondary, are participating in Green Thumb Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Edge Projectâ&#x20AC;? which is giving them the opportunity to work with local professional theatre artists to create and perform their own show. Led by artistic associate Shawn MacDonald, the students are coming together from different communities to create a public performance unlike any other in Vancouver. Other participants this year are David Thompson Secondary, Windsor Secondary and Prince of Wales Secondary School. With the creation and rehearsal process underway, more than 85 teenagers involved in The Edge Project are working together to create a performance by, about and performed by themselves. The project

builds on inter-community interaction to create a unique view of community. Students from different socio-economic, cultural and regional backgrounds are finding a way to have their voices heard together. Joshua Weiss, a teacher at Tamanawis who was involved in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pilot project said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being a part of a project of this magnitude, being able to meet and work with peers from across the Lower Mainland and creating a new original work is very exciting for my students. This project has the potential to influence my students for future theatrical careers and goals that did not perhaps occur to them before.â&#x20AC;? This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work will culminate with four public performances at the Roundhouse Community Centre in Vancouver on Dec. 9-11. Shows are 8 p.m., with an additional 2 p.m. matinĂŠe on Dec. 11. For more information or tickets, call 604-2544055 or email info@greenthumb.bc.ca

The Faces of the Community is an exhibition of photographs by Surrey-based photojournalists, including Surrey-North Delta Leader photographers Evan Seal and Boaz Joseph, at the Surrey Arts Centre. The show opens today (Dec. 3) and runs until Feb. 13. The Surrey Arts Centre is located at 13750 88 Ave. Phone 604-501-5566 for further information.

CHRISTMAS CORNER

Mildred Sullivan went into her longest sleep on Wednesday evening, November 24th, 2010 and oh, did she love her sleeps. This time she exited our fair world with relaxation and with no pain. The Alzheimer’s disease which invaded mom’s psyche was diagnosed several years ago. Progression was slow and became more noticeable as years passed. Friends, relatives and family members, Shirley and Peter, Beryl and Jim and the grandchildren, Deanne and Craig, Joey (Danny), Kathleen, Kevin, Chris and Cliff, knowing full well the void will remain, know also that the memories of their mom/grandma will bubble through the chasm as new spring waters do in the frozen mountains, year upon year. Mildred flew into God’s fields seeking not only her love-mate, Rupert, but also her young and so-loved grandson, Danny and her devoted parents, Hilda and George Brown.There will be a viewing at Valley View Funeral Home, 14660 72 Ave. Surrey, BC on Thursday, December 2, 2010 at 7:30 to 8:30 pm. Followed by a Funeral Service on Friday, December 3, 2010 at 11:00 am at the BethanyNewton United Church, 14853 60 Ave, Surrey, BC. Reception to follow service at the church hall, and interment at 2:00 pm at Valley View Memorial Gardens, 14660 - 72 Ave. Surrey, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimer’s Society or Bethany-Newton United Church would be appreciated. Valley View Funeral Home 604-596-8866
