Hospital parking fees ‘stress’ patients

Surrey spends thousands to mail blank report cards

Health officials reject call to scrap pay lots

Attendance noted without mention of student progress

by Jeff Nagel LOWER MAINLAND hospitals collect

by Sheila Reynolds THE SURREY School District is spending thousands of dollars on

postage to mail out mostly blank report cards.

While student report cards are usually given to students who then carry them home, this year, due to ongoing job action by teachers, the documents are being sent via Canada Post.

No firm figure on the postage costs could be provided, but with a regular letter costing 59 cents, and upwards of 70,000 students enrolled in the district, conservative estimates put the tab at more than $40,000.

As part of provincewide job action that began in September, B.C. teachers are refusing to do administrative-type work, “We need to which includes distribution of communicafrom principals. make sure it tionPreparing report cards (except Grade 12 gets home marks required for graduation, post-secapplications and scholarship purwith all the ondary poses) and distributing them is included in information that job action.

Report cards this fall include little inforthat... mation except for attendance, course and explains the teacher names, unless a course happens to taught by a principal, who will provide a situation.” be grade and/or comment.

According to Surrey School District Doug Strachan spokesperson Doug Strachan, the mass mailing is necessary due in part to logistics. At an average elementary school, for example, a principal would have to hand out between 300 and 500 individual report cards. For high schools, the numbers would triple.

$14 million a year in parking fees that critics say amount to an unfair user fee that can even harm patient care.

The Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) on Monday called for hospital parking fees to be at least waived for all patients, if not abolished entirely.

“Parking fees are a barrier to health care and add avoidable stress to patients who have enough to deal with,” Dr. Rajendra Kale, the journal’s interim editor-in-chief, wrote in an editorial.

“They can and sometimes do interfere with a clinical consultation, reducing the quality of Dr. Rajendra interaction and Kale therefore of care.”

Patients who wait weeks for a consultation at a hospital may abruptly end it when they realize they must soon pay for more parking time, Kale said.

“This is parking-centred health care, which is not compatible with patientcentred health care.”

Fraser Health spokesman Roy Thorpe said there are no plans to end pay parking.

“Parking fees are a barrier to health care...”

25 riot suspects charged Decorate for the Holidays Nine from Surrey, including alleged arsonist

by Jeff Nagel TWENTY-FIVE alleged rioters have now been charged for their roles in the June 15 Stanley Cup riot in downtown Vancouver.

Nine of the accused in the first wave of charges are from Surrey, eight are from Vancouver, two each are from Burnaby and Maple Ridge, and one each are from Delta, Richmond, North Vancouver and Seattle.

All are charged with participating in a riot and nearly all are also charged with additional counts of either mischief or break and enter.

Three are also charged with arson – 21-year-old Delta resident Lincoln Kennedy Williams, Surrey’s Alicia Price, 22, and Burnaby’s Timothy Kwong, 30.

Vancouver Police allege Williams smashed the tail lights and window of a parked truck before helping set it on fire, while Price is accused of setting a police car on

fire with a cigarette lighter. Both have no prior criminal record.

Mobeen Mohammed, 33, of Surrey, is the oldest accused rioter so far, while a 17-year-old juvenile, also from Surrey, is the youngest.

Rioters torched police cars and other vehicles and looted stores in downtown Vancouver after the Boston Bruins beat the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 of the Cup final.

Onlookers shot video and photos on cellphones and posted them on social media, fueling what has become a massive crowd-sourced police investigation. “We are very encouraged by the approval of these 61 charges and we will continue to work closely with the special prosecution team as even more charges are expected in the coming days and weeks,� said Insp. Les Yeo, who leads the Integrated Riot Investigation Team.

The police reports on each

suspected rioter are all over 500 pages long.

VPD officials have called the night of mayhem the largest crime spree in B.C. and say several hundred suspects could ultimately be prosecuted.

Dozens came forward and confessed after being outed on social media. Police, aided by a U.S. lab, have analyzed vast amounts of video evidence and photos, building an image database that can link a suspect to multiple crime scenes on the night of the riot.

The VPD recommended 163 charges against 60 people in late October, but more charge approvals by Crown may be pending.

Those charged in Surrey include: Emmanuel Alviar, 20; Sean Burkett, 18; Richard Dorosh, 18; Kelly Johnson, 20; Anthony Larsen, 18; Dylan Long, 19; Mobeen Mohammed, 33; Alicia Price, 22; and a 17-year-old youth who cannot be named.

TransLink adds buses Gas tax jump enables increase in service

by Jeff Nagel TRANSLINK will boost

rush-hour bus service on selected routes starting Monday.

Passengers from Cloverdale and Langley should see more buses and fewer full ones passing them by on the #320 Surrey Central/ Langley and #502 Surrey Central/Aldergrove routes along Fraser Highway.

Spokesman Drew Snider said the decision by area mayors and the province to increase the gas tax two cents a litre next April 1 allowed TransLink to add extra service now rather than waiting until next spring. “We know we’ve got that funding coming through next year,� he said. “We were able to advance some of that from our reserves and push ahead with areas that sorely need it – some U-Pass routes and some of the routes in the South-of-Fraser area.�

Other routes getting more buses starting Dec. 5 include the #25 Brentwood Station, #84 UBC and #125 BCIT/ Patterson Station runs.

More morning trips will be added for the #410 22nd Street Station/Railway route, which connects Richmond, New Westminster and Surrey and has seen a large increase in ridership.

See www.translink.ca

for details.

Unlike some past shuffling of service from low ridership

routes to higherdemand ones, Snider said this change is a net increase in service, not

t (VJMEGPSE5PXO$FOUSF DPN ' B D F C P P L D P N ( V J M E G P S E 5P X O $ F O U S F

a rationalization.

More increases are expected next April, Snider said.

MLA to live on welfare next month

Paid parking at health care centres such as Surrey Memorial Hospital brings in millions of dollars for health authorities, but The Canadian Medical Association Journal wants to see free parking – at least for patients.

Jagrup Brar will try to survive on a stipend of $610 in January

by Kevin Diakiw A SURREY MLA will be living on the equivalent of welfare for the month of January, as part of a challenge from a group called Raise the Rates.

Brar, the NDP MLA for SurreyFleetwood, was challenged by the group on May 25 to try living on $610 for the month of January, the same amount from social services provided to people who are expected to look for work.

Brar remained unsure about it for months until his 12-year-old daughter Noor said to him, “do it, and make a difference.”

He admits being fearful for Jagrup Brar his health and safety.

“I am, and my wife and my kids are concerned about my health as well,” Brar said. “I am a national basketball player, I consider myself in good shape physically... so I hope I can go through this without any major challenges to my health.”

When asked, he said he would not be carrying credit cards.

Part of the Raise the Rates challenge is that out of the $610, he must spend $450 on rent, $25 on a cellphone and buy a bus pass.

The normal social services housing allowance is $375 per month, but Bill Hopwood with Raise the Rates said it’s nearly impossible to find something for that price.

Fees: $10M for general revenue From page 1

Most Fraser Health hospitals charge $3 to $4 for the first hour of parking, and lower rates after that. B.C. Children’s Hospital charges $3.75 an hour.

About one-third of the money that comes in from parking covers the cost Th e rates include a 21-per-cent parking tax that goes to TransLink plus of maintaining and running the lots, while the rest – nearly $10 million a year 12-per-cent HST. – goes into general revenue for the Lower Mainland health authorities.

While public visitors pay full rate, staff at hospitals get pay parking dis“If we didn’t get those fees it would have to come out of other health care counts of 40 to 45 per cent. revenues,” Thorpe said.

“If we had free parking, I think we’d have a real difficult time with ensuring The money involved is just two-tenths of one per cent of the combined $5 turnover of parking spaces and limiting the time people stay,” Thorpe said. billion spent annually by the Fraser and Vancouver Coastal health authorities, But patients and visitors do get free parking at both Delta and Mission and by the Provincial Health Services Association and Providence Health hospitals, where municipal bylaws prohibit pay parking for hospitals.

Surrey drug bust turns up war medals Lengthy search finds rightful owner

by Kevin Diakiw

RCMP PHOTO

These medals were found during the raid of a Surrey drug house two years ago.

TWO YEARS ago, Surrey RCMP conducted a raid on a drug house and discovered a set of Second World War medals and service pins, amongst other stolen property.

The challenge that laid ahead for investigators was to find the rightful owner of the medals.

Investigators contacted a retired major with the Royal Canadian Legion in New Brunswick, a historian who was able to identify the owner of one of the pins. Seve-

ral interviews with government agencies to find the owner of the other items were fruitless. However, a family member was finally identified through the use of a geneaologist and police databases.

This month, police contacted Paul Jackson, from Parksville, who confirmed he was the lone grandchild of war veteran Arthur Bird.

Jackson was unaware his family had his grandfather’s medals, nor that they were stolen.

Bird passed them on to his son (Jackson’s father), who moved to Surrey and had the medals packed away.

“Dad probably forgot they (the medals) were in the house too,” Jackson said in an

interview from Parksville. “It sure was a surprise getting a call. They managed to track me down.”

Jackson doesn’t remember hearing many stories of his grandfather’s time at war, but he recalls some of the tales in Britain.

“He did talk about being in the trenches, laying in the wet, for hours at a time,” Jackson said. “That’s how he ended up with severe arthritis in his legs.”

Jackson doesn’t have the medals on display right now, he said.

“They’re locked away,” he said, adding they would remain in the family and would be passed down to his son in due course.

Surrey Mounties are happy with the result of the lengthy work by investigators.

P U B L I C N OT I C E

Approval of the Electors by Alternative Approval Process Disposal of Dedicated Park Land NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN pursuant to Section 94 of the Community Charter, SBC 2003, c. 26, as amended (“Community Charter�) that City Council seeks the approval of the electors in regard to “Surrey Park Closure By-law, 2011, No. 17520�. Section 27 (2) (b) of the Community Charter provides that a Council may, by by-law adopted with the approval of the electors, dispose of park land vested in a municipality by subdivision provided that the proceeds of the disposal are to be place to the credit of a parkland acquisition reserve fund.

TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the City of Surrey has given three readings to “Surrey Park Closure By-law, 2011, No. 17520� to dispose of all and singular that certain portion of park dedicated by District Lot 155, Group 2, New Westminster District, shown outlined in heavy black line and labelled PCL “A� on the Reference Plan attached hereto, duly signed by the Mayor and Clerk, prepared by Kenneth W. Schuurman, B.C.L.S. on the 17th day of November 2011, containing 185.4 square metres and civically described as 3294 – 145 Street.

The disposal of park land is intended to facilitate the consolidation of the land with the adjacent property at 14555 – 32 Avenue. In accordance with the Land Title Act, the consolidation of the properties will be considered by the Approving OfďŹ cer at a later date.

district doesn’t want students caught in the middle of the labour dispute. “We need to make sure it gets home with all the information that accompanies it and explains the situation,� said Strachan.

In the letter to parents, Supt. Mike McKay explains that the B.C. School Act requires students receive a minimum of three reports per year. “It is for this reason that schools throughout the province are sending home report cards even though the documents are unlikely to include a student’s academic progress,�

McKay writes, adding that teachers will continue to communicate

student development through things such as individual feedback, assignment marks and tests.

Denise Moffatt, president of the Surrey Teachers’ Association, sees the government’s insistence that blank report cards be issued as political manoeuvre aimed at drawing negative attention to the job action. “They’re following the letter of the law, but they’re not following the spirit of the law,�

Moffatt said.

As for Surrey’s decision to mail report cards, she said there are other distribution methods available and the cost is “certainly� a concern. “In the big scheme

of things it’s a very small part of the school district’s budget, but when we’ve been seeing successive cutbacks... every dollar counts,� said Moffatt.

In the neighbouring Delta School District, report cards will not be mailed.

Most secondary school students and parents, except for those at North Delta Secondary (NDS), will have access to report cards online through a secure website called Parent Connect.

At NDS and elementary schools across Delta, report cards will be distributed to students at school next week. “All the principals are organizing them

Most report cards in both districts go home – whether by hand or by mail – next week.

In October, the B.C. Public School Employers Association applied to the B.C. Labour Relations Board to force teachers to prepare and distribute report cards.

On Wednesday, labour board adjudicator Michael Fleming dismissed the application, as well as a demand that teachers hand over 15 per cent of their salary and benefits to reimburse the employer for duties teachers are refusing to do.

Snow charges Mother Nature’s battery Crossing WINTER HAS DECIDED to arrive early this year, and the early snow bodes well for skiers and snowboarders and other winter enthusiasts.

The Canadian Avalanche Center even issued its earliest ever special avalanche warning due to the amount of snow already accumulated on B.C. mountains.

They say it’s more typical of what B.C. usually sees in late December and January.

But the best part is yet to come, because once we’ve had our fill of skiing, snowboarding and

cold weather, the accumulated snow on our mountains can be used to generate clean electricity as it melts away.

Snow is the ultimate storage medium for green energy.

It’s Mother Nature’s battery, and as it melts it flows into the reservoirs behind the province’s hydroelectric dams and through smaller runof-river projects that light up our homes and businesses.

Having more snow means we’ll also have

A

s we’re all getting ready to put up our Christmas trees and light up the house with fancy lights and decorations, let’s take time to give some thought to the families who are lacking food, shelter and support.

Christmas is a time to love and a time to give, so as December approaches, let’s put in some effort and donate to local food drives in the community as well as school food drives.

As a Grade 10 student of Fleetwood Park Secondary, I’ve seen my school do exceptionally well in terms of gathering nonperishable food items to donate for those who don’t have as much as we do.

This year, my school is aiming to gather 2,012 canned goods. I am positive we will reach our goal with everyone’s input.

Another way to help is by taking part in the Surrey Christmas Bureau’s “Adopt a Family” program by sponsoring a lowincome family for Christmas.

You will be paired up with a family and given their “wish list.”

You then shop for the items they wish for and deliver the hamper to the family.

I personally love this program because I have participated in it with my school before.

So in our Christmas spirits, let’s get out there and make sure

more electricity.

And having more electricity means the province can wheel and deal with other jurisdictions that need energy but don’t have the hydroelectric capability and natural energy storage advantages B.C. has.

Energy trading is very lucrative for B.C. and perhaps we should be measuring snowfall and rainfall in kilowatt hours instead of inches.

carbon plan,” Tom Fletcher, The Leader, Nov. 22.

There should be no “carbon plan.”

The greenhouse gas theory of climate change is an elaborate science hoax, a futile exercise in political correctness.

It is not backed up by any hard evidence (only computer modelling) and is contradicted by hard historical climate data, which in fact point to changes in solar energy as the primary agent of climate change.

Gordon Campbell was suckered into believing in the greenhouse gas hoax, and we

I AGREE WITH letter writer Mr.

Bajwa on the need for a flag person at the intersection of 72 Avenue and 124 Street.

This particular intersection is a busy intersection, especially for pedestrians.

I also agree on the need to update crosswalk signs.

Ideally, there should be lights on the crosswalks (if it is not by the intersection) because it is really hard to see people crossing the road in the winter months, as it gets dark too soon.

It does not help when it is raining, reducing the visibility even more.

I respectfully disagree on the need for speed bumps as they frustrate drivers and drivers try to make up for the “missed speed” by pushing the accelerator even more to catch up, resulting in releasing more bad gases (by burning more gas )in the air.

I thank Mr. Bajwa for bringing this issue up.

Let’s help fill the stockings of the little ones whose parents cannot afford to give their children expensive Christmas gifts and

cherish the holidays. Those in need will feel loved and comforted.

Donate to the Surrey Food Bank or if your child is having a food drive at school, please try to donate at least one item.

Make a difference this holiday season. With everyone’s assistance, let’s hope everyone – including the ones in need – have a very Merry Christmas this year.

pot growers THIS READER’S LETTER (Wayne Clark from Maple Ridge) caught my eye and before I read the letter, I predicted that the person was going to pick sides with marijuana growers.

I was right.

The crime bill “costs too much,” so the solution he thinks is to be soft on drug growers and traffickers so we don’t have to pay for jails.

He calls this a “mix of conservative and religious ideology.”

This is the most ridiculous argument I have ever heard.

Save money on jails and let criminals off, so they can steal more from us.

What a great concept.

Peter Schmidt, Surrey

Don’t go soft on criminals I AM RESPONDING to one of

your letters published on Nov. 22 regarding the crime bill being too costly.

Letter writer Wayne Clark from Maple Ridge wants to give criminals a break.

He argues that Texas was tough on crime and they still have more criminals than others.

I fail to understand the logic.

If Texas hadn’t been tough, they would be in worse shape – believe me.

I moved here from Johannesburg a couple of years ago. Mr. Clark has no idea what he’s talking about.

I wonder what his motivation is in letting the bad apples out.

Kwantlen students seek to impeach KSA directors Pepper spray, fire alarm interrupt meeting

by Sheila Reynolds A STUDENT meeting organized to impeach members of the Kwantlen Student Association (KSA) was delayed Wednesday afternoon after someone pulled the fire alarm and a hallway full of people was pepper sprayed.

The meeting resumed an hour-and-a-half later with more than 400 students – well above the required quorum of 250 – but as of The Leader’s Wednesday afternoon deadline, the meeting had barely begun.

(Check www.surreyleader.com for updates).

The Special General Meeting (SGM) was called after a 277-name petition was presented earlier in November, demanding the removal of the five executives and eight other voting council members from office, placing them in bad standing so they may never run for the KSA again, and to install a new set of bylaws.

Just prior to the meeting’s scheduled start, student Arzo Ansary said a “bunch” of students were disheartened by what they saw going on.

“They felt this is the only avenue they had left,” Ansary said, adding there are fears the controversy is harming Kwantlen’s reputation.

Much of the opposition began after it was discovered the association had put a lawsuit involving former director Aaron Takhar

and others on hold. At the time, it was revealed at least two of the newly elected directors were related to Takhar – his sister Justine Franson and cousin Nina Kaur. Franson has since resigned.

The longstanding lawsuit, which involved the alleged mismanagement of more than $1 million in students fees, was subsequently dismissed without costs.

There are also allegations the current executives raised their pay by 40 per cent, spent $100,000 on a concert and spent thousands of dollars on legal fees.

Prior to the SGM, the KSA’s director of finance Nina Kaur said the meeting was invalid for several reasons, but, in respect to the students who showed up, hoped to have an open forum to hear their concerns.

“A lot of our membership has been provided with false information that’s led students to believe the KSA is acting in a ridiculous manner, spending recklessly,” she said.

Kaur said she’s unsure why she and other KSA members have been targeted, but suspects it’s politically motivated.

Many longtime directors were unseated in the April student election, which saw a huge turnover and large margin of victory for those now in power, she said.

Kaur noted Deloitte & Touche has been hired to do a full governance review so the KSA can move forward.

TransLink’s 167-officer force had been without a permanent chief officer for more than a year after the police board terminated former chief Ward Clapham in September of 2010, citing a desire to change the force’s management style.

of Vancouver is mulling the potential removal of its Dunsmuir and Georgia Street viaducts that access downtown to open the way for redevelopment of False Creek flats.

Concepts being floated include turning the viaducts into elevated parks within a new urban forest or creating Venice-like canals from False Creek to make new waterfront property.

Advocates of removal see a rare

chance to transform that part of the city and argue more motorists heading downtown must make the shift to public transit anyway.

“We are trying to move people to other forms of transportation,” Coun.

Geoff Meggs said, adding there will need to remain some kind of road connection to downtown through the eastern core.

A Vancouver city study found at least one viaduct could be removed within five years with little impact on traffic.

The public is invited to vote on 100 redesign concepts at vancouver.ca/ reconnect.

Extensive consultation is promised next year ahead of any decisions. newsroom@surreyleader.com

Gas tax for transit didn’t hurt mayors Voters re-elected advocates of TransLink plan

by Jeff Nagel DRIVERS ANGRY with

the Metro Vancouver mayors who voted to jack TransLink’s gas tax by two cents next April got no obvious vengeance at the polls Nov. 19.

Incumbent mayors in North Vancouver, Langley City and Surrey who most vocally championed the gas tax increase as part of a plan to build the Evergreen Line and other transit upgrades were re-elected by wide margins, as were those in the cities of Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam that will benefit from the new SkyTrain extension.

All of those mayors were returned by at least 70 per cent of their voters, except Coquitlam, where Richard Stewart got 57 per cent.

The tax hike was an issue in several cities, including Surrey, but Mayor Dianne Watts was returned with 80 per cent of the vote there and mayors’ council chair Richard Walton got 81 per cent in the District of North

Vancouver.

Mayors who voted against the TransLink tax – Burnaby’s Derek Corrigan, Richmond’s Malcolm Brodie and Delta’s Lois Jackson – were also returned, indicating local issues and the power of incumbents were bigger factors.

The only incumbent mayor in Metro Vancouver who went down to defeat was Langley Township’s Rick Green.

He voted against the gas tax hike but had been in a divisive battle with his own council throughout the past term.

The mayors are expected to negotiate new revenue sources with the province that could see a vehicle levy or more bridge or road tolls added in Metro Vancouver.

Further east in the Fraser Valley, two more incumbent mayors were defeated in Abbotsford, where voters also rejected a referendum on a controversial plan to expand the Stave Lake water supply as a public-private partnership, and in Mission,

Black Press grams from kindergarten to Grade 12 will soon be known as English Language Learning (ELL) programs.

Education Minister George Abbott announced the name change last week at a Youth Advisory Day at the Ministry of Education attended by immigrant and refugee youth.

Many youth enrolled in ESL programs already speak multiple languages. They feel that naming the course “ESL� suggests that English is their second language, when it might be their third or fourth.

As well, the name does not reflect or acknowledge their diverse backgrounds and personal circumstances.

The idea of the name change was raised by youth at the Representative for Children and Youth’s 2011 Summit, “Fresh Voices from Long Journeys: Insights of Immigrant and Refugee Youth�, held last month in Vancouver.

Senior Ministry of Education staff attended the two-day event, along with over 120 immigrant and refugee youth.

English Language Learning programs will continue to serve the same educational purpose and functions as the former ESL programs. The goal is to help students become proficient in English, develop as citizens and achieve the expected learning outcomes of the provincial curriculum.

SENIORS’ WEEK

the B.C. government fell by $303 million in the second quarter of the fiscal year, due mainly to instability around the world, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said Monday.

The drop in revenues will make it more

difficult to meet the government’s target of balancing the budget by 2013. Falcon said he will wait until January, when the finance ministry has to finalize its next budget, to see if that target can still be met.

Coupled with a $30 million jump in spending, the latest figures bring the deficit fore-

cast for the fiscal year ending next March to $3.1 billion.

In a quarterly briefing to reporters, Falcon also confirmed that it will take until the spring of 2012 to reverse the Harmonized Sales Tax. The largest revenue dip is $146 million less in net income from commercial Crown

corporations. The bulk of that was a drop in Insurance Corp. of B.C. revenues, where investment income fell because of instability in the European Union.

Falcon said insurance companies around the world have seen investments “hammered” by the struggles to keep Greece, Italy and other countries from defaulting on debt.

Low prices from a glut of natural gas supplies have reduced B.C. revenues, and the continued slump in U.S. housing has affected forestry revenues.

On the spending side, Falcon said the B.C. government has trimmed operating expenses by $20 million this year.

But that was offset by $30 million in unbudgeted costs related to flooding that mainly hit northern B.C. this spring. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Charges suggested in dump truck crash Surrey’s Jim Neiss killed in January 2010

by Tracy Holmes LANGLEY RCMP have recommended

a criminal charge be laid against the driver of a dump truck involved in the head-on collision that killed South Surrey resident Jim Neiss.

Const. Bob Johnston confirmed Friday a charge was forwarded to Crown counsel “about a month� ago. He would not say what charge was recommended, citing the ongoing process, and he could not predict when a decision might be made – although he is hopeful it will come “very quickly.� “It’s kind of in their court right now,� he said. “We’ve provided everything that we could to them as far as the investigation goes.�

Neiss, 59, died just after 5:30 a.m.

Jan. 18, when his Ford Explorer was hit head-on in the 19800 block of 16 Avenue by a Sterling dump truck that had crossed a double-yellow line to pass a small white car.

Witnesses reported seeing the truck weaving in and out of traffic in an aggressive manner prior to the

collision. The force of the impact compressed the front section of the Explorer into less than half its width.

The dump truck and its driver, a 62-year-old Burnaby man, were virtually unscathed.

The next day, RCMP Supt. Norm Gaumont described the collision as one of the worst he’d seen, and told reporters Neiss “had absolutely no chance.�

Neiss had been headed to Langley at the time, where he had worked as a school bus driver since 2003.

Friday, Johnston remembered the crash as “devastating.â€? “It was pretty brutal, something that could have‌ been totally avoided.â€?

Pointing to the time frame of the recent trial of Brent Parent – the Langley man accused of running down Abbotsford resident Silas O’Brien on March 13, 2008 – Johnston said it is “not at all� unusual that charges in the Neiss file have not been laid yet. tholmes@peacearchnews.com

Delta drive-by shooting

by Kevin Diakiw DELTA POLICE are dealing with what

they believe is the region’s latest gangrelated shooting.

Shots rang out at about 8 p.m. in North Delta Tuesday as a Mercedes Benz SUV was hit with several bullets in what’s believed to be a targeted attack in the 9200 block of 114 Street.

Police would not be specific about the weapon except to say it was not an automatic.

Neither of the two people in the car was hurt, but the passenger in the SUV is known to police and has some

connection to gang activity.

Both driver and passenger are males and about 20 years old.

Delta Police Const. Ciaran Feenan said police do not believe there is a threat to the public.

“We are confident that it was a targeted shooting,” Feenan said. “At this point it is an isolated, targeted incident.”

Police are now looking for a red sports car with tinted windows and a rear spoiler.

Anyone who may have information related to this shooting is asked to call Delta Police at 604-946-4411.

B.C. judge upholds polygamy law Ruling clears way for new prosecutions

by Tom Fletcher A B.C. SUPREME Court judge

has upheld Canada’s law against polygamy, finding that the potential harm to women and children in multiple marriages outweighs the infringement of religious freedom.

The ruling clears the way for the B.C. Attorney General’s ministry to try again to prosecute leaders of Bountiful, a polygamous community in northeastern B.C. near the Idaho border.

Charges against Winston Blackmore and James Oler, rival leaders of the community, were dismissed on a legal technicality by another B.C. judge in 2009. Blackmore was charged with having 19 wives and Oler three wives.

Attorney General Shirley Bond said the ministry will take time to study the complex ruling before deciding what to do

next. After the prosecution was turned away, the government proceeded with a rare reference case, to see if the rarely used law conforms with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

“Our case was in essence quite simple – that there are profound harms to children and women related to polygamy, and today I think that Justice Bauman clearly embraced government’s argument,” Bond said. “My job now is to go back and assess what implications this might have for a future potential prosecution.”

Bond added that with many intervenors in the case, the judgment is likely to be appealed.

Chief Justice Robert Bauman issued a 300-page ruling last Wednesday after hearing testimony from expert witnesses as well as people who have lived in Bountiful, an isolated community of about 1,000 people

belonging to the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Bauman surveyed the history of marriage around the world and found that preserving monogamous marriage “represents a pressing and substantial objective for all of the reasons that have seen the ascendance of monogamous marriage as a norm in the West.” He rejected arguments that there is such a thing as “good polygamy.”

The Fundamentalist Church of Latter-Day Saints split with the mainstream Mormon church a century ago rather than renounce multiple marriage.

The B.C. community was established in the 1940s, but didn’t come to public attention until the 1980s. Similar communities exist in the U.S., particularly in Utah where the Mormon church was founded. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Chilliwack-Hope MLA’s move triggers second byelection

by Tom Fletcher CHILLIWACK-Hope

MLA Barry Penner is leaving politics in January to work at a Vancouver law firm, rather than serve out his term until the scheduled election in May 2013.

Penner announced in August that he wouldn’t seek re-election for a fifth term, stepping down as attorneygeneral to spend more time with his wife and young daughter. At that time he was expecting a fall election, but Premier Christy Clark soon announced that the vote would be delayed.

Clark said last Thursday she was expecting Penner’s earlier departure. It means there may be at least two byelections at the same time, for Chilliwack-Hope and Port Moody-Coquitlam, where former cabinet minister Iain Black stepped down. That byelection must be held

by March.

Clark said she isn’t worried about Penner’s departure creating an opportunity for the B.C. Conservative Party to gain a foothold, or at least split the vote enough for an NDP member to be elected in the conservativeleaning Fraser Valley constituency.

“I think in fact it’s an opportunity for us,” Clark said. “You might see more than one byelection happen at a time, and I think it’s an opportunity for renewal for our party.”

Penner has accepted a job as senior counsel at Davis LLP, an international law firm based in Vancouver. Starting in January he will be dealing with environmental law and renewable energy, a long-standing interest of his.

Penner received a

Official wants to register 16-year-olds in high school

by Tom Fletcher WITH PARTICIPATION in elections

declining at every level, B.C.’s new chief electoral officer wants to extend voter registration to 16-year-olds while they are in high school.

Keith Archer released a report Monday suggesting the government consider that move, to get more young people registered and ready to vote when they turn 18. Currently the lowest level of participation is in the 18-to-25 age group, as well as the lowest number of registered voters.

“Our sense is that by introducing a provisional voter register, we’ll be able to communicate

with young voters earlier on, and probably to do so as part of their high school social studies curriculum,” Archer said. “And partnering with social studies curriculum developers provides us with a real opportunity to enhance civics education within that group, and to address generally the importance of voting in a democracy.”

Attorney General Shirley Bond said Monday she supports the idea in principle, especially after Saturday’s municipal elections where fewer than one in three eligible voters took part in the election in many communities.

“We simply have to look at the elections that took place on the

SURREY Riverside Heights 14887 - 108 Avenue

604-930-9750

weekend,” Bond told reporters.

“We need to make sure we look at how we get our participation numbers up, and what better place to start than young people.”

Archer is also recommending that the government explore options for electronic voting, which is being studied by Ontario and the federal agency, Elections Canada.

Municipal leaders endorsed the idea of online voting by a two-to-one margin at their annual convention in September.

Archer said current B.C. election law does not allow for anything other than paper-based voting at the provincial level. newsroom@surreyleader.com

GVHBA renovation seminar attracts more than 300 people

Tips for getting you through the renovation Do you want to renovate your house, but find the whole idea a little intimidating?

The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association is on the case. Last week the GVHBA held a seminar meant to demystify the whole process. The seminar attracted over 300 attendees, and GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson says they went home ready to go on their projects.

He says homeowners need to focus on four key words: get it in writing.

Getting everything in writing means you’ll have proof in the event of a dispute. Spell it out on paper and the contractor will have a record of exactly what’s expected, and you will know exactly how much you’re going to pay.

Another tip from the seminar is to avoid the underground economy. Homeowners who

take this route are placing themselves at risk by avoiding the safeguards that come with hiring a reputable contractor. You might save yourself some cash, but if something goes wrong you are completely unprotected.

Are you going to live in the house during the reno? You’ll have to create a set of rules for the contractor – and your family – to live by.

Can the workers use your bathrooms? How about playing music in the house?

“All of these rules ... have to be determined up front in the contract,” Simpson says.

He also recommends looking for Renomark-branded contractors, who have agreed to the GVHBA code of ethics as well as the RenoMark code of conduct, which mandates minimum standards for warranties, liability, insurance and safety.

Striking a chord with homebuyers

Heritage style chic at Mosaic’s Foster

by Kerry Vital

Entering Mosaic Homes’ newest development, Foster in West Coquitlam, feels like you’re walking into a chic heritage enclave, one that perhaps reminds you of days gone by when a classic red-brick exterior and Georgian architecture was the height of style. Seeing the high-end features and expansive floorplans, you might expect this beauty to come with an equally high-end price tag, perhaps one that keeps it out of reach for the typical first-time home buyer.

You’d be wrong.

“People are pleasantly surprised they can afford a home that looks this good,” says Mosaic’s Geoff Duyker. “I have never worked on a project that had so many (first-time home buyers) ... It’s really struck a chord with buyers.”

Ranging between 607 and 994 square feet, the one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment homes feel spacious as soon as you walk in. Overheight 9’ ceilings and open floorplans combine for a fantastic sense of space.

The two-bedroom floorplans are

proving particularly popular.

“These are the most effective twobedroom plans available,” says Duyker.

“They give you the maximum possible benefit of space.”

With three four-storey buildings in the development, Foster is another example of the classic architecture that Mosaic has pioneered in the Lower Mainland. The style is one that took the company about 10 years to develop, and Duyker says this is the first time it has hit the market.

“The architecture is fantastic,” he says, adding that the exteriors are one of the main reasons Foster has been so popular with homebuyers already.

After developing a rendering, Mosaic sent the image to a database of people who had expressed interest in purchasing a Mosaic home. Within 24 hours, over 1,000 people had

responded asking to be included in a priority registration launch.

There is no shortage of beautiful features at Foster, including engineered laminate wood flooring throughout the living, dining and kitchen areas, and luxurious loop pile carpeting in the bedrooms and dens.

Speaking of those kitchens? Polished

composite stone countertops and a glass-tile backsplash are complemented by under-cabinet puck lighting and sophisticated Greenlam and lacquer cabinetry with polished chrome pulls.

Stainless-steel appliances are standard, while the integral exposed shelving continued on page 2

“

People are pleasantly surprised they can afford a home that looks this good,” says Mosaic’s Geoff Duyker.

Mosaic’s Foster features elegant red-brick Georgian architecture, above, and spacious living areas. With bedrooms built for relaxation, top, and an open plan layout with a large dining area, left, homeowners will be able to unwind in their own piece of paradise.

…off the front: “The neighbourhood is setting up well to appreciate.” Geoff Duyker. continued from page 1

system (designed by Mosaic) is a serious work of genius.

The bathrooms are a spa-like piece of paradise, with deep soaker tubs (also designed by Mosaic) and porcelain tiles on the floors and tub and shower surround. In a charming little touch, the shower includes a recessed pot light that complements the pendant light fixture in polished chrome and white glass.

However, the location has also become a big draw for buyers at Foster. Just a block away from the future Evergreen Line, owners will be surrounded by everything they could possibly need. Schools, recreation facilities, shopping and other amenities are all within easy reach at Foster.

The development is the first of several new projects slated to

start selling in West Coquitlam, which is also contributing to Foster’s popularity.

“The neighbourhood is setting up well to appreciate,” Duyker says. This means that current buyers in the area are able to get in before prices increase.

Mosaic held its grand opening of Foster in early November, and within a week, over 100 of the 161 homes were sold.

“It’s been quite remarkable,” says Duyker, adding that Mosaic’s reputation for building better homes has contributed to Foster’s popularity.

Foster is now selling its third phase, and there is still a good selection of one-, two- and three-bedroom homes available, Duyker says.

Homes start at $250,000. For more information visit www. mosaichomes.com/foster or call 604-936-9300.

Living areas with plenty of natural light, above, and gourmet kitchens with chic under-cabinet puck lighting, top right, are just two of the amazing features at Foster. Dedicated work spaces, right, are also a thoughtful touch.

Defending champions contending for first place

Pegasus making a move

by Rick Kupchuk

Cougars claim B.C. title

by Rick Kupchuk

THE DEFENDING Provincial Cup champions

IT’S A FIRST for Enver Creek

are charging towards the top of the Vancouver Metro Soccer League’s (VMSL) Premier Division.

ICST Pegasus won twice last week, extending their win streak to four games while remaining unbeaten in their last seven outings.

Pegasus blanked ICSF Inter 5-0 last Friday night at Newton Athletic Park, improving their record to 7-3-1 (won-tied-lost) and moving to within two points of league-leading West Van. Jag Gill and Azad Palani each tallied twice for Pegasus, with Chetan Jhooty netting one from the penalty spot. Andy Singh earned the shutout, stopping several Inter scoring chances early in the game before Pegasus took command over the final 60 minutes of play.

Three nights earlier at Newton, Pegasus edged Croatia SC 2-1. Reynold Stewart opening the scoring 30 minutes into the game, and Gill added what would stand up as the winning goal in the 60th minute. Croatia broke Singh’s shutout off a free kick late in the second half.

Surrey United Firefighters were unfortunate to lose last Wednesday night at Cloverdale Athletic Park (Nov. 23), falling 1-0 to Delta United Hurricanes despite having a huge edge in play. Drew Smiley stopped several Surrey scoring chances, including one on a breakaway, allowing Gagan Josan’s goal off a free kick late in the first half to decide the game.

The Firefighters rebounded Saturday to double Norvan Pacific 4-2, also in Cloverdale.

Andrew Proctor gave Surrey an early lead with a breakaway goal after a half hour of play, but Norvan was ahead 2-1 with just 10 minutes remaining. Angus Burke headed home a cross from Steve Kindel to tie the game with four minutes left, then playing coach Niall Thompson added a pair in the final two minutes for the victory.

At 6-1-5, the Firefighters are fourth in the 12-team Premier Division.

Delta, after playing to a scoreless tie with Rovers United Sunday at John Oliver Park, are in sixth place at 5-3-4.

Smiley earned his second shutout of the week, and earned VMSL Player of the Week honours.

Delta will host Pegasus Sunday at 2 p.m. at John Oliver Park.

Secondary.

The Surrey school’s Senior AAA boys soccer team edged the St. George’s Saints 2-1 in a shootout Saturday afternoon to win the 16-team provincial championship tournament in Burnaby, earning the first B.C. banner in school history.

“We had a wrestler recently win a provincial championship,” said Enver Creek Cougars cocoach ryan Green. “But this is the first team championship at the senior level.”

“We knew we had a good group of talented players.”

Ryan Green

BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER

Delta United Hurricanes’ Ryan Dhillon (left) and Colin Phillips of Rovers United race for the ball during a Vancouver Metro Soccer League Premier Division game at John Oliver Park on Sunday. The game ended in a scoreless tie.

The Cougars were unbeaten in Burnaby, winning twice and tying once to finish first in their group in round robin play. They dispatched the Burnaby South Rebels 4-2 in a semifinal game Friday afternoon.

In Saturday’s final, Bobby Dhaliwal scored in regulation time, and Grade 9 goaltender Aman Thind made two saves in the shootout won 3-2 by the Cougars.

“We were fairly confident going into the tournament,” said Green. “We knew we had a good group of talented players. It was just a matter of coming together as a team.”

Shahbaz Khattra was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player, and he shared the Golden boot award as top goal scorer, netting seven in five games.

Inside Track ...with Dan Jukich I have far too much respect for our two loveable 81-yearold Fraser Downs trainers to call them – even affectionately - “old geezers”.

While some media outlets have described them as ‘The Odd Couple’ or ‘Grumpy Old Men’, my preference would be daring and dedicated gladiators who just happen to love what they do for a living.

Ray Gemmill and Dan Ingram were no doubt singing Willie Nelson’s On The Road Again when they ventured off to Edmonton last weekend in a pick up truck attached to a two-horse trailer. The weather, of course, was less than pleasant. First they had to conquer the Coquahala Highway and then the snow-capped Rocky Mountains.

But in the end, it was well worth it. Northlands Park was hosting last weekend’s eliminations for the Western Canada Pacing Derby and Northlands Filly Pace. Gemmill’s Red Star Hannah won the sixth race in Edmonton Saturday by three lengths.

Driven by Tim Brown, the final time was 1:57.

Brown then hopped aboard Ingram’s Gramrun Jake in the ninth race and finished third at odds of 52-1. Jim Marino drove Just Fiction to victory in the 10th race, gate to wire in 1:56.4. The eliminations carried purses of $12,500.

So … Red Star Hannah and Just Fiction will do battle this weekend at Northlands in Saturday’s $75,000 Filly Pace, while Gramrun Jake goes in the $75,000 Western Canada Pacing Derby.

The Fraser Downs family wishes nothing but good luck to all of them Saturday, as well as a safe trip home.

Racing at The Downs resumes Friday (7 p.m.) and don’t forget that Sunday (1:45 p.m.) is Customer Appreciation Day. The first 500 fans through the doors into the Atrium at noon Sunday will receive a Fraser Downs T-shirt and among the numerous other giveaways will be tickets to upcoming Vancouver Canucks games.

See you there. djukich@fraserdowns.com 17755 60th Avenue Surrey BC

First games of the season at Kwantlen campus

by Rick Kupchuk THE KWANTLEN Eagles basketball teams took advantage of winless opposition last weekend, helping the men’s and women’s club go a combined three-for-four in PacWest league play.

The women’s team thumped the Columbia Bible College Bearcats 119-52 Friday night at the Surrey campus of Kwantlen Polytechnic University, while then men topped the Bearcats 94-82.

In New Westminster Saturday night, the women edged the Douglas College Royals 50-48 to even their record at 3-3 (won-lost), while the men fell 96-88.

Playing on their home court for the first time this season, the Eagles dominated Columbia Bible College from start to finish in the women’s contest, converting 21 of 47 three-point shots. Anna Work led the way with 37 points, also adding seven assists and seven rebounds, helping Kwantlen crack the 100-point mark for the first time in school history.

The Eagles trailed for much of Saturday’s game, before taking the lead in the final minute.

Centre Samantha McPhail dominated the boards with 10 rebounds for Kwantlen, now in fifth place in the nine-team league.

Guard Aaron Ram of Surrey led Kwantlen’s men’s team to

their win Friday. The graduate of Seaquam Secondary in North Delta netted 21 points, with Princess Margaret graduate Ali Bosir adding 18 points and 18 assists. Point guard A.J. Adusei of North Delta chipped in with 17 points and seven assists.

Kwantlen finished the weekend at 2-4, one game out of sixth place and a PacWest playoff position after their loss to Douglas on Saturday.

Adusei led the scoring with 26 points, with Ram adding another 25. Bosir, a six-foot-six centre, had his second double double with 10 points and 13 rebounds.

Both Eagles will be in Vancouver tonight for games against the Langara Falcons.

Hawks take two from Ice Valley West on target to reach the playoffs THE VALLEY West

Hawks swept a weekend series for the first time in five weeks, winning twice at home against the Kootenay Ice. The Hawks blew a three-goal lead in the first game Saturday in Langley, but earned a 5-4 victory after Latrell Charleson of Surrey notched his second goal of the game on the powerplay with just 64 seconds remaining in the game.

Nick Coltura and Danton Heinen of Langley and Surrey’s Ram Brar netted first period goals to give the Hawks a 3-0 lead after 20 minutes.

Heinen’s tally was a team-best ninth of the season.

The Ice struck three times on the powerplay to cut the difference to 4-3 after the second period.

Sunday morning at the Surrey Sports and Leisure Complex, the Hawks scored once in the first period, twice in the second and added three more in the third to cruise to a 6-1 victory.

The Hawks scored wice on the powerplay, and once while shorthanded.

Daniell Lange of Langley scored a pair, including the game winner, with singles coming from Heinen, Jordan Klimek of Langley, and Surrey residents Rhett Willcox and Jerret Smith.

The sweep left the Hawks in fifth place in the 11-team provincial

league with a 10-8-0 (won-lost-tied) record.

The top six teams will qualify for the

playoffs.

The Hawks complete the first part of their schedule next

weekend in Nanaimo, playing twice against the 6-10-2 North Island Silvertips.

A watershed moment for local arts North Delta gallery paints a picture of artists’ resilience

by Boaz Joseph

W

hat do artists with a collective sense of identity do when their funding disappears?

They band together and

get creative.

Watershed Artworks Society’s gallery and gift shop in North Delta gives visitors an idea of the talent and enthusiasm in the local arts community.

With a fresh – and eye-catching – paint job on its exterior and a refurbished interior, 500 square feet of space is filled with paintings, sculptures, jewelry, decorative objects (including wood), photography and textiles.

Watershed Arts Society came into being earlier this year after the Delta Arts Council (DAC) gave up control of their gallery shop to the Corporation of Delta following major provincial funding cuts announced two years ago.

At the same time, Delta took ‘Angela’ by Joan Schreiber. over the nearby Firehall Centre for the Arts, as well as the Tsawwassen Arts Centre – although the DAC was given an extra year in the buildings to sort things out.

In March, several members of the DAC decided to keep the gallery shop open themselves.

“We want to bring art back to the community. I think it’s been sadly neglected,” says Watershed president Bev Mason. “If a group like ours gets together, it becomes a lifeline of artists in the community.”

“The arts council was in a lot of flux and they had a lot of issues between them and the Corporation (of Delta) to sort and we felt like we didn’t want to be possibly missed out in all the decision-making,”

says Kathy Lane, a Watershed director.

“If we wanted to maintain a shop, we’d have to be proactive and maintain it ourselves.”

Watershed, a nonprofit society, is a separate entity from the DAC, but its artists are still members of the arts council.

“Our mission is to provide a space for local artists to display and sell their work,” says Watershed vice-president June Bergen-Holt.

While the DAC continues to organize theatre and musical events at the firehall and Tsawwassen Arts Centre, it lets Watershed run the day-to-day operations of the gallery.

Christmas classic inspires true meaning of season Choir presents Handel’s Messiah, featuring Surrey soloists Black Press

George Frederick Handel’s 1741 masterwork, Messiah, is an enduring Christmas classic, offering audiences an opportunity to appreciate the historic majesty of the composition and reflect on the true meaning of the holiday.

Also enduring is the Handel Society, now in its 45th year of Debra DaVaughn performing major choral works – including such pieces as Bach’s St. Matthew Passion and Haydn’s Creation – as well as highlighting the talents of many aspiring young musicians.

TREE TREASURES SURREYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S

HOME SWEET TREE HOME Autumn is quickly turning into winter and we are spending more and more time in the shelter of our homes; but what about animals, what do they do?

Trees are a natural spot for many creatures to make their homes in. Trees provide a cozy shelter, nutritious food and a safe space to hide from predators â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an ideal habitat.

The Surrey Art Gallery Association is having its sale Dec. 3-4.

Annual gallery show and sale

Branches low and high provide areas for birds of all kinds to build their nests. Small holes, or cavities, found in trees can become a den for Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; squirrels or a spot for Black-capped Chickadees to build their cupshaped nests. Large cavities can be homes for Barred Owls or a den for racoons.

C ARI N

The next time you walk by a tree, take a look, what can you see?

G

Believe it or not, a Douglas-ďŹ r tree loses about one-third of its needles each year. While many of these needles make it to the ground, many fall on to lower branches.

As these needles pile up over time they become thick mats where tiny plants, insects, and fungi live without ever needing to interact with the ground far below!

GET INVOLVED Releaf Neighbourhood Tree Plantings April 2012 | In your neighbourhood Enhance your neighbourhood or local park by planting a shade or street tree. Gather your neighbours and give us a call at 604.501.5050 to make a request for a park or boulevard near you!

Releaf Urban Forestry Assistants (Volunteer) Year-round Help keep Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trees green and healthy! Volunteers help out by canvassing Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighbourhoods to let home owners know some simple tips and tricks to care for their boulevard and backyard trees. Call 604.502.6065 for more information.

UR TREE S R YO O F When putting up

holiday decorations and lights on your trees this year, use twine, rope and plastic straps instead of nails as an injury to your treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thin, protective bark can permanently damage the tree.

Tree to See! Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) Giant sequoia trees are some of the largest in the world.

This particular tree, however, is still a sapling in comparison to those found throughout the world. Check it out at Holland Park, lit up with holiday lights.

Ian Bushfield will discuss how humanism – described as a rational philosophy informed by science, inspired by art and motivated by compassion – promotes living a good and moral life without the need for divine revelation.

Bushfield will also explain why humanists choose not to rely on immutable words and holy books, but instead find value and purpose in life through reason and science.

“It is important that we provide opportunities to better understand one another,” said Royce Rourke, a member of South Fraser Unitarian Congregation’s board of directors.

Literacy programs of this kind are important for families whose children are struggling readers and also offers a meaningful way for teens to gain skills and volunteer experience by working with young children in helping them to improve vital literacy skills.

University Interior Design student Santiago Arcila, is the first Canadian to be honoured with the ICON of Industry scholarship since the award was founded in 2004.

He is also the first male to ever win this scholarship.

Founded in 1984, The Hospitality Industry Network is an international non-profit organization that links professionals from every facet of the hospitality industry.

To date, the organization has given out over $2 million US in scholarships.

Arcila was flown to New York City on Nov. 14, where he was presented with a $5,000 ICON of Industry Scholarship from the Hospitality Industry Network (NEWH) for his hospitality-focused designs and essays.

More than 1,200 teen volunteers and Little Buddies have participated in the Coast Capital Savings Reading Buddies program since it was launched in 2004 with seed money from the Coast Capital Savings Community Investment Fund.

Its success has resulted in a consistent demand for the program from parents who wish to help their children improve their reading skills and has attracted many teens who frequently return to volunteer because they enjoy the experience.

He is able to ‘carve’ spaces and think conceptually on how materials and lighting affect human emotion,” said Paulo Gavilanex, Faculty, Interior Design Program. “He is not afraid to take risks and will support his decisions by doing additional research when they are unconventional.”

In his final year of the Interior Design bachelor’s degree program, Arcila was humbled to be presented with this award and honoured to meet Harvey Nudleman, the winner of the 2011 ICON of the Industry.

“I am still in disbelief to have been flown from Vancouver to New York and be the recipient of the NEWH Icon of Industry Scholarship,” said Arcila.

“I started my studies in chemical engineering and yet here I am six years later receiving a scholarship in the hospitality industry. I

“Contributing to that foundation is something that as local community builders, Coast Capital Savings is committed to. Knowing that each of these little readers has access to a program like this is very gratifying.”

Since it was established in 1983, Surrey Public Library has provided a full range of educational, recreational and leisure materials and services to meet a variety of needs of this diverse community.

Every day, the library helps people discover something new, connect with their community or feel inspired by the programs and services.

“I could not envision a life without design. It is the combination of logic, creativity and functionality.

This scholarship recognizes leaders in our field and gives students the opportunity to one day be an icon of industry themselves.”

“We are always very proud when our students win awards and we are especially proud of Santiago for receiving the Icon of Industry

Award from the Hospitality Industry Network since he is the first Canadian recipient,” said Lucie Gagné, Co-Coordinator for the Interior Design Program at Kwantlen. “Our students’ success is the best feedback our program can receive and reaffirms our mission statement: ‘Educating leaders for the profession of interior design.’ ”
