Grandview Heights development plan causing environmental concerns

How to succeed

Huge green space set for paving

in school

by Kevin Diakiw A HUGE TRACT of green space is set to be paved for res-

idential development, causing the city’s environmental watchdog to immediately call for a halt to the plan. The city is preparing the Neighbourhood Concept Plan (NCP) for Grandview Heights Area #4, which includes 487 acres of property in South Surrey. The neighbourhood abuts Redwood Park to the South, 176 Street to the west, angles to 32 Avenue to the north and to 184 Street to the east. The city is planning residential development, along with some multi-family residential, to make room for 8,000 to 9,000 people. The reaction from the city’s Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) was strong and swift. The committee indicated the NCP steamrolls highly sensitive ecological areas identified in the city’s new Ecological Management Study (EMS), an overarching plan for Surrey’s environmental assets. “If there is any credibility to the EMS then this development should not happen,” the committee said in the minutes of its May 25 meeting. “This NCP is 100 per cent opposite to the EMS.” EAC Chair Al Schultze told The Leader Tuesday the NCP being considered for the area will ruin beautiful second-growth trees and wildlife habitat.

In his youth, Rob McTavish was kicked out of ﬁve elementary schools and three high schools in Surrey. He now has a PhD in educational psychology.

Former ‘problem student’ who received his high school diploma two days before his PhD now hopes to help other struggling kids by Evan Seal

s Rob McTavish walked toward the stage at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby to accept his PhD in educational psychology he couldn’t help think about the people that had put him there. His voice begins to waver as he remembers looking out into the crowd of 1,000 people – 10 of which were PhD recipients. Rob could see his parents, his in-laws, his wife and in his mind, a few teachers who believed in him when others either gave up or didn’t understand what it was that made him different. “My parents were there to see me finish, I wanted to show them I turned out okay, it was a real thank-you to them.” Now married with two small children,

academic trouble began early for McTavish. Having been labelled as a problem student by Grade 2, he was expelled from five elementary schools and three high schools in his 12 years in the Surrey School District. “I was a very active kid, constantly challenging the teachers,” he said “I would question things like, ‘why is the sky blue, what makes it blue?’ Or ‘yesterday you said this, but now you’re saying something different’. ” Often his questioning was perceived as challenging or disrespecting authority. His grades would fluctuate from A-pluses one year to Fs the next, often in the same subject. McTavish was an avid reader, usually reading well beyond his grade level. And though he was able to connect with certain

teachers who would offer more challenging work outside the school curriculum, having a “problem student” label made for difficult teacher-student relationships. “Not many teachers took the time to understand how I could learn, or wanted to take the time to challenge me,” he said. Some teachers, however, saw through his “class clown” exterior. “Ms. O’Mally at Bear Creek Elementary, she was one of the first who saw my uniqueness,” he said, adding a handful of high school teachers also recognized his potential. Although he finished his Grade 12 year, he was two courses short for his official graduation certificate. In 1986, following in his brother’s footsteps, McTavish joined the military.

Struggle: ‘I know what it’s like’ From page 1 Working weekends during the school year and summers in Alberta with the reserves, he enrolled in leadership courses and began to excel. “In the military it’s all about respect, I felt like I was finally treated like an adult.” By 1991, after working random labour jobs, he made the decision to go back to school and enrolled as a mature student at Kwantlen College in Surrey (now Kwantlen Polytechnic University), and after transferring to SFU, graduated with an undergraduate degree in communications in 1997. Still feeling the need to learn more, he continued studying and obtained a master’s degree in educational psychology from SFU in 2002. While working for CODE (Centre for Online and Distance Education) at SFU he began to see the ability he had in helping others reach their educational goals. Focussing his graduate studies on improving outcomes for students, McTavish based his doctoral

thesis on how learning objectives can help students improve their studying performance. Last December, after making an oral defense of his doctoral work to a large professional board at SFU, McTavish was granted his doctorate degree. But there was something missing from his educational resume. After earlier receiving credit for one of his missing secondary school courses, McTavish approached the Surrey School District about completing Social Studies 11 – the last course he needed to be granted his high school diploma. In early February, McTavish, 42, opened his mailbox to find a envelope containing his B.C. High School diploma, and two days later came the announcement of his PhD. Now graduated and working as program director at CODE, his goal is to develop a workshop for struggling students, to keep them enrolled. “I know what it’s like. I’ve been there.”

“On behalf of the members of the city’s Environmental Advisory Committee, we would like to express our surprise, disappointment and frustration with council’s recent decision to not hear a delegation from our committee regarding the EMS and the Grandview (NCP4) developments,” EAC Chair Al Schulze wrote in a letter to council June 23. “We would like to point out that we have not abused the privilege of speaking directly to council, only having made this request three times in the past two years.” Mayor Dianne Watts said Tuesday the group has not been declined an audience with council, pointing out the process is in the early stages. Staff are engaging

“The biggest concern is there’s a huge area with a second-growth forest that’s about 80 years old,” Schultze said. “Most of that will be gone according to the three plans that they have for it. And we’d like to mitigate that damage to save more forest.” That forest, he said, is about the size of Redwood Park. The EAC passed a motion to request an audience with council as soon as possible. At the following meeting, council directed the committee to staff and the Citizens Advisory Committee. In a letter to council Monday, the EAC expressed its umbrage at being rebuffed by council.

in public consultation, she said, adding it’s premature to hear from the EAC. Typically, the council representative would bring the issues before council, she said. Coun. Bob Bose, who sits on the EAC, said the committee has become discouraged. “There’s an overwhelming frustration that development always trumps important environmental issues,” Bose said. He said the NCP4 is distant from city services, meaning a huge investment in infrastructure, such as sewer and water. “The only way they can make it financially viable is to develop every last square foot of the area,” Bose said. “The best and highest use for that area is to leave it alone.”

Do you think protection of the environment is a high enough priority for Surrey council?

Eco group must be heard

To answer, go to the Home page of our website: www.surreyleader.com

urrey is dangerously close to sending an unfortunate message to its environmental watchdog – again. The 12-member Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC), which advises council on ecological issues, has been through significant change over the last decade. In 2004, the EAC had huge talent on board, including Dr. Roy Strang and Dr. Tom Godwin. Back then, the issue of the day was tree loss. Over the span of five years, the city had issued 50,000 permits to cut down trees of significance in the city. At the time, Godwin told The Leader he had asked council “umpteen” times to hire a consultant to review developments, with an eye to preserving trees. It was a novel idea, largely ignored. Minutes of the EAC going back to 2002 back up Godwin’s claim. In addition, the committee had asked council to hold off on developing Campbell Heights, an immense business park built in 2003. The development ended up being a big black eye for the city, with the David Suzuki Foundation calling it one of the worst examples of salmon habitat destruction in B.C. The warnings from Godwin and the EAC were ignored by the administration of day, and Godwin resigned from the committee, leaving in his wake a stinging rebuke of council. “Although we are supposed to be advisory to council, we are completely ignored, and our suggestions fall on deaf ears,” Godwin wrote in his resignation letter. Strang said at the end of his term he agreed with Godwin. “We may be the watchdog, but we have no teeth.” The next committee included local environmental powerhouse and former civic planner Rosemary Zelinka. She demanded to see the city’s Environmentally Sensitive Areas Plan, was refused, but after pushing hard enough, the committee was able to view it behind closed doors. All copies were collected at the end of the meeting. Zelinka was later terminated from her volunteer position. The subsequent committee was a shadow of its former self. Between 2003 and 2006, the committee returned more than seven recommendations to council annually. In 2007, the committee met 10 times to consider the city’s use of herbicides on boulevards, stream damage in Campbell Heights and the new municipal garbage contract. Yet the group forwarded no recommendations to council. The only recommendation from the EAC in 2008 was a call for help to council to define the committee’s role. By fall of that year, to its credit, the city created a powerful new committee. It now includes members such as chair Al Schultze, who holds a PhD; engineer Bob Campbell; horticultural expert Martin Harcourt; along with Bonnie Burnside and Bill Stewart, to name a few. The committee was instrumental in helping draft Surrey’s pesticide bylaw, and reported extensively on recycling and the Ecosystem Management Study. Last month, a Neighbourhood Concept Plan for Grandview Heights calling for development of environmentally sensitive areas in South Surrey landed with the committee. It caused significant alarm and prompted an immediate request from the EAC to halt the plan. The committee also wanted an audience with council. Instead, they were referred to staff and a citizens advisory committee. The EAC wrote to council Monday expressing its “surprise, disappointment and frustration” for not hearing them. Mayor Dianne Watts told The Leader Tuesday the committee will be heard, just not yet. In fact, the EAC should not only be heard, but its advice heeded. History has shown to do otherwise comes at a tremendous cost – to the dedicated people who sit on the committee and the health of the environment. To do anything less would be to undermine the importance of the EAC and send the message that protecting the environment is not a priority.

Clamp down on electricity thieves How do I FIND IT QUITE upsetting that BC Hydro is losing $154 million a year to electricity theft due to marijuana grow operations. This loss of revenue is reportedly adding five per cent to everyone’s hydro bills: yours, mine and the legitimate businesses operating in our communities. However, it occurs to me that if the cost of

the electricity being stolen each year is $154 million, then the total cost of electricity theft must be even greater when you factor in the cost of tracking down the theft and the thieves and repairing the damage they’ve done along the way. Every honest, decent citizen, and particularly those making sincere efforts to conserve

24 edition of The Surrey-North Delta Leader, “Surrey school trustee floats bottled water ban.” We agree with Surrey Trustee Laurie Larsen that municipal tap water should be served in pitchers during board and internal staff meetings. We also support the installation of water fountains. Why? Bottled water doesn’t compete with tap water. It competes with other bottled beverages. According to independent market research firm Probe Research Inc. (www.proberesearch.com), 70 per cent of Canadians drink both tap water and bottled water. They drink tap water at home and bottled water out-of-home to support their busy, on-the-go lifestyles. Before the Surrey Board of Education considers Trustee Larsen’s motion any further, it should review a 2009 Toronto District School Board report that enunciated the problems associated with banning the sale of bottled water in schools. Board staff wrote that “students have access to 35% of the water needed for proper hydration during the school day” and when bottled water was temporarily removed as part of their study into the matter, “of those students who normally purchased bottled water at school, 22 per cent drank nothing at all and those who substituted pop or soft drinks for water outnumbered those who chose milk or juice.” Staff warned there is a direct link between hydration and brain function and “a mere 2 per cent drop in body water can trigger short term fuzzy memory, trouble with basic math and difficulty focusing on a computer screen.” More than 60 per cent of Canadians consume bottled water each and every day because it is a portable, accessible and healthy choice. They are not choosing bottled water over municipal tap water. They are choosing bottled water over other bottled beverages that do not have the same health benefits as bottled water does. John B. Challinor II Director of Corporate Affairs Nestlé Waters Canada

A letter writer says that while tap water is ﬁne in ofﬁces, it isn’t always the best alternative for schools, arguing that bottled water is more portable and accessible.

Tax proximity to SkyTrain stations TRANSLINK should initiate

a tax levy for new development within 500 meters of a SkyTrain station or along a SkyTrain line. The developers are reap-

ing a huge benefit by being able to charge a premium for these sites both residential and commercial because of their proximity to the line.

TransLink should benefit from this directly and reduce the burden on homeowners. Steve McCollum

Guiding behaviour THE STANFORD Prison Experiment

in 1971 showed how situations can significantly affect human behaviour – causing people to behave in ways they would not normally act in their everyday lives. The recent Vancouver riot was a clear example of this.

A more proactive approach – such as removing people who are drunk and disorderly before they wreak havoc – will go a long way to preventing situations like this from occurring in the future. Stan Davis Victoria

Columnist a Liberal drone AS I SEE IT, the B.C. Liberal party should probably start

paying for their ads in your paper. What ads you say? To start, Tom Fletcher’s columns. Let’s be honest here. When he writes his column, anything NDP equals bad and anything Liberal equals good. Therefore, please change the name of his editorial from B.C. Views to (and I’ll steal the idea of a Top 10 list from David Letterman): 10. B.C. Liberals, making me feel warm and fuzzy. 9. NDP, what are they thinking? 8. I have a man crush on Gordon Campbell. 7. Liberal policies = good policies. 6. B.C. Liberals, knowing what’s good for you. 5. I’d vote Conservative before NDP. 4. How can I spin it to make the Liberals look good? 3. I once shook hands with Kevin Falcon. 2. B.C. Liberals, it wasn’t a lie, you just misunderstood it. 1. Pass me the Kool-Aid Christy, they’re drinking. S. Hong, Delta

provinces compare?

I HAVE SENT this letter to Mr.

Adrian Dix, NDP Opposition leader and Mr. Bruce Ralston, NDP finance critic in regards to the HST in Nova Scotia. I contacted the NDP premier of Nova Scotia Darrell Dexter and Nova Scotia’s finance minister Graham Steele in regards to the HST in their province. The reason I contacted them is they are the only NDP provincial government in Canada that has the HST. I wanted to know why, according to the NDP Opposition in B.C., it would not be good for the economy, business and for the people of B.C. and if it would be just as detrimental to these same groups in Nova Scotia. Finance minister Mr. Steele said: “We did raise the HST from 13 per cent to 15 per cent. When this government assumed office, Nova Scotia was on an unsustainable fiscal path. To address the issue, we embarked on a four-year fiscal plan, anchored in expenditure reduction, growing the economy and increasing revenue. We have addressed the first two pillars through our Expenditure Management Initiative and economic growth strategy. The third pillar, increasing revenues, presented us with different tax-based options. We took these options to Nova Scotians in a province-wide consultation before tabling the 2010-11 budget, and the majority preferred an increase in sales tax over an increase in personal income tax.” I also asked them if they would go back to the old system of GST/ PST after their four-year plan ended. Mr. Steele’s answer was, “We believe the HST is the most efficient way to levy a tax and is better for the economy than the former provincial retail tax system. We would not consider returning to the former retail tax system.” Mr. Dix, how can the HST be the most efficient way to levy a tax in Nova Scotia for growing their economy and revenue and good for their economy, but is not good for the economy for B.C.?

The Surrey boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wages (for seven trustees) will now total about $213,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; less than both Coquitlam and Vancouver, which have nine trustees each, despite Surrey having a significantly higher number of students.

There are 70,360 students expected to attend Surrey schools this fall, thousands more than any other B.C. school district. The local board also oversees nearly 9,000 employee and an annual operating budget of more than $570 million. Trustee honorariums are reviewed annually.

Shooting victim had history of violence Home invasion and ﬁrearms offences part of 24-year-old’s past by Kevin Diakiw THE MAN KILLED in a gang-related shooting in

North Surrey last week was released on bail last year for his role in a Chilliwack home invasion. Vancouver’s Christopher Jai Reddy, 24, was shot and killed in the Bolivar Heights area of North Surrey on Friday. Witnesses told The Leader they heard between 12 and 20 gun shots in rapid succession near 131 Street and 111 Avenue at about 3:40 p.m. Police arrived to find Reddy suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Officers began CPR, but he succumbed to his injuries. RCMP Sgt. Peter Thiessen said the victim was well-known to police throughout the Lower Mainland. In 2006, Reddy was charged in a home invasion in Chilliwack, where he beat a man and held the man’s wife at gunpoint. Reddy and two masked men armed with handguns and a sawedoff shotgun, broke into the home on Chilliwack Lake Road, believing there was a marijuana grow operation inside. There wasn’t. The 46-year-old homeowner put up such a struggle that he was tied up and pistol-whipped, and his 36-year-old wife had a gun pointed to

her head as she was dragged around the house by her hair. Reddy pleaded guilty to break-and-enter, robbery with a firearm, unlawful confinement, wearing a mask in the commission of a crime and assault. He did not plead guilty to assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, pointing a firearm, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and uttering threats. The trial faced almost four years in delays while Reddy appealed a 2005 weapons possession. His appeal was heard and he was acquitted on those charges. Because of those delays, the judge feared Reddy would not see trial on the break and enter charges, so in an unusual move, she released him on bail last year on the condition that he return to Surrey to live with his mother until his next court date. After Friday’s fatal shooting of Reddy, IHIT investigators spent the weekend canvassing the area. Anyone with information regarding this homicide who has not spoken to investigators is asked to call the IHIT Tip Line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448). — with files from Robert Freeman kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

unwanted or dead electronics were dropped off at B.C. recycling depots in May than any month before. And although many Canucks fans upgraded their TVs for the playoffs, officials say most of the resulting discards likely haven’t started to make it to depots yet, potentially adding a further bump this summer. “We may not see the old product come in for a couple of months,” Encorp Pacific logistics manager Tyler Garnes said. “They tend to sit in basements or garages for a while before ending up on a ‘honey do’ list.” Staff at the Semiahmoo Bottle Depot in South Surrey said they’ve

definitely received many more old TVs in recent weeks – and almost all of them still work. Online classified websites are also jammed with ads for free or cheap TVs as some households try to find new homes for their old sets before consigning them to the recyclers. But Garnes said the increased volume of electronic waste coming to depots so far this year is mainly the result of more stereo equipment now showing up. A total of 1.85 million kilograms of e-waste was dropped off at Encorprun Return-It depots in May – a 40 per cent increase from a year earlier.

From Delta to Africa Students providing new school to Sierra Leone Black Press A VILLAGE in Sierra Leone,

West Africa will be getting a brand new school, complete with school supplies and muchneeded medical care and a clean water well, thanks to the fundraising efforts of students at Sunshine Hills Elementary. “We truly feel that we have given the children of our village a hand up, and have made a positive difference in their lives,” said Joan Stephens, teacher at Sunshine Hills and sponsor

of the Sunshine Hills Social Responsibility We Team, a group of 35 Grade 6 and 7 students. Sunshine Hills students first took on the initiative of helping African children in 2009. During the 2009-10 school year, the social responsibility team adopted a poverty-stricken village in Sierra Leone through the organization Free the Children. Following an assembly to raise awareness of the plight of less fortunate children around the world, a variety of fundraisers were organized throughout the

year, including a walk-a-thon, cookie sale and coin drive. About $18,000 was raised for the adopted village. The success of the first initiative encouraged Sunshine Hills students to do it again this year – but to go ever bigger – and the school raised $22,000 for a second village in Sierra Leone. As a result of their hard work, Sunshine Hills students received Free the Children’s “Big Dreamer Award,” which contributed another $5,000 towards the school’s efforts.

Depot: Will take smaller items From page 10 – account for the bulk of the gain, he said. Garnes said they’re also seeing a lot of older boom boxes as well as Walkmans and MP3 players. TVs remain the top electronic item depots receive. “It’s almost 60 per cent of what we get in,” Garnes said. “People

just want the new technology.” While most of the incoming TVs are big old CRT-type boxes, some broken LCD flat screen models also arrive. The e-waste depot system – which started out taking TVs and computer equipment before expanding to audio and video equipment – is now starting

to take small appliances and smoke detectors as well. It’s slated to expand again in the summer of 2012 to cover large appliances, electric tools, toys, sports gear, lighting and virtually anything else that has an electric cord or takes batteries. Eco-fees are charged on new TVs and other electronics to cover the

cost of recycling and collection. (For more information, visit www. encorp.ca/electronics) The e-waste recycling system aims to keep electronics out of local landfills or from being exported overseas to be salvaged by impoverished workers in dangerous conditions. An audit system promises products are responsibly recycled.

$500,000 a year on fish ferries and other initiatives to increase salmon populations in its watersheds. The number raised eyebrows among some directors at a briefing Friday. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said he also wishes B.C. Hydro was as keen to help with flood control along the Coquitlam River as it apparently is to assist with the reintroduction of sockeye salmon to the Coquitlam reservoir. “It was atrocious to deal with them,” he said, adding Hydro officials had to be “dragged kicking and screaming” into discussions on whether dredging, higher dikes or other options can prevent flooding of properties along the river. Moore wanted to know how much partners like B.C. Hydro and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans pay towards Metro’s fishery project costs. Other directors say Metro must continue to exercise caution to avoid contaminating the region’s drinking water reservoirs. The risk is salmon that spawn and die in a reservoir will rot and attract bears, which then foul the water and introduce pathogens. Salmon themselves could transport contaminants from the ocean up to the reservoir. “It’s something we need to look at – cautiously,” said Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt, who sits on Metro’s water committee. The Coquitlam reservoir has recently been reopened to sock-

eye salmon, which have begun to return in small numbers. They’re trapped and trucked from the base of the dam to Coquitlam Lake to spawn but fishery advocates and the Kwikwetlem First Nation want a fish ladder built to make it easier and accelerate the recolonization of the reservoir. Metro staff say a three-year study is underway to gauge conditions in the Coquitlam reservoir and help assess how big a sockeye population it could accommodate without risking the quality of the drinking water, which supplies the eastern half of Metro Vancouver. hat may But Hunt said that ine, be hard to determine, adding it’s “highly debatable” how many sockeye should bee permitted to go upriver past the dam. “Our goal is to have clean, safe water for our citizens,” he said. Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said he’s not concerned about the re-introduction of sockeye, noting Metro bars access to its reservoirs and enjoys far superior water quality as a result. “I know lots of communities around the world where their public beach is in their water reservoir – their swimming pool, their water skiing is in their drinking water reservoir,” Stewart said. “That’s certainly not the case in Metro Vancouver.” For advocates, reintroduction of the salmon run rights a historic wrong. Coquitlam Lake’s sockeye were stranded behind the dam when it was built in 1914.

They turned into land-locked kokanee that for nearly a century never tasted salt water. In the last 10 years, some kokanee smolts used a channel through the spillway to escape down the Coquitlam River to the ocean. Since 2007, they’ve started to come back as adult sockeye. The numbers are so far small – just 11 adults returned in the best year to date to be carefully trapped and released by hand into the reservoir. Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew thinks lots more sockeye can come back without risking water safety. s “I think there’s plenty of room to p return to historic r levels wi without compromising the wate water supply,” he said. “Historically there’s very low nutrient levels in the Coquitlam watershed just because of the mineralization. That has always regulated the total population of fish there.” Metro also plans to install a webcam in a fish trap in the Coquitlam River so online viewers can watch for the returning sockeye. The regional district also puts considerable effort into ferrying coho salmon around the Cleveland Dam, which holds back the Capilano reservoir. About 40,000 coho salmon smolts and 400 juvenile steelhead are now trapped in the reservoir each year and released below the dam. Not all are intercepted, however, and some fish still go over the spillway and die in the steep plunge to the base of the dam.

Metro defends plan to harness biogas Cost of waste-to-energy venture on Lulu Island criticized by Jeff Nagel METRO Vancouver is

under fire for committing $13.1 million to a partnership with a private firm to generate more biogas energy at the region’s Lulu Island sewage treatment plant. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan called the project a waste of money and noted the cost has climbed $2.5 million from a previous estimate a year ago. “It is not in my view the kind of expenditure we should be undertaking,” Corrigan said. “We have a lot of other places we could be placing this money.” Metro’s board approved the spending June 24, with Burnaby directors voting against it. Paradigm Environmental Technologies will outfit the Lulu Island plant with its MicroSludge system to greatly increase the

Metro is planning to generate more biogas at its sewage treatment plant on Lulu Island. production of biogas, which would be sold into the FortisBC natural gas grid as green biomethane. Enough extra gas would be generated to heat 300 homes and Metro would earn money by selling it. And the process would also consume more sewage sludge, which now has to be composted and trucked for use at a mine reclamation site near Williams Lake. The region should save money on fuel costs trucking the sludge away and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Metro waste committee chair Greg Moore said the project may yield bigger cost savings down the road. Future sewage treatment plant rebuilds – two are planned at a cost of $1.4 billion – may be able to operate with just four or five big digesters instead of the usual six. “Those things are about $50 million each,” Moore said. “It’s a small investment that could have very large returns for us.” Metro Vancouver’s net capital cost for the Lulu upgrade is to be reduced to $7 million thanks to expected

grants totaling $4.4 million from the province’s Innovative Clean Energy fund and from the Union of B.C. Municipalities, and from additional contributions of $1.7 million from Paradigm. Metro would be responsible for operating costs but expects to break even over 25 years. Metro’s board had turned down a previous Paradigm proposal more than a year ago. But the company came back with a sweetened offer that includes a share of its future revenues and FortisBC offered to pay more for the biomethane. Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt said he supports the project, which he called another form of waste-to-energy. “We’re taking a waste product and converting it into a useful form of energy to replace the

standard fossil fuels,” he said. “If we focus on the technology, this is a

great money maker that is going to work for us and also reduce the cost of future waste

facilities by literally hundreds of millions of dollars.” jnagel@surreyleader.com

President lauds federal government for new policies

CHBA ‘extremely pleased’ with budget The Canadian Home Builders’ Association is praising the federal government for its newest budget. The “budget provides a responsible transition from stimulus spending towards creating the conditions that will renew private sector demand and job creation,” says CHBA President Vince Laberege. The new budget, tabled on June 6, includes several measures that will benefit the homebuilding industry, including support for the EnerGuide Rating System and green initiatives in home building such as CHBA’s R-2000 program, which builds homes to strict energy-efficient requirements, indoor air quality and environmental responsibility. “We are extremely pleased that (Finance Minister Jim) Flaherty has chosen to

maintain momentum among homeowners for improving the energy performance of their homes,” says Laberege. “This is an important and practical initiative that can rejuvenate our existing housing stock, reduce energy bills and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.” He also lauded the government for its commitment to municipal infrastructure investment, saying “governments must recognize that infrastructure can no longer be financed through the mortgages of new home buyers.” The CHBA also announced that it plans to work with the government to ensure that policies will support housing affordability and choice, saying in a statement, “This is particularly true with respect to the HST/GST as it applies to new homes and renovations.”

‘Little details that make a difference’

Sequoia a taste of the West Coast by Kerry Vital

In a fast-paced place like the Lower Mainland, serenity can be hard-won. However, it seems to come standard at Fairborne Homes’ Sequoia. The new townhome development is right at home in the Panorama area of Surrey, and it’s ready and waiting to welcome you home as well. “It’s the little details that make a difference,” says Fairborne general sales manager Rosalin Wang-Foong. Some of the little details of which Fairborne is so proud include granite countertops in the kitchen, two designer colour schemes, Sand and Slate, and his-and-hers sinks in the ensuite bathrooms, perfect before a night out when all those little grooming tasks need to be done. Named for its West Coast feel, Sequoia will be perfect for people from all walks of life, from young families to people making a fresh start after a divorce or after the kids leave the nest, says Wang-Foong. With three floorplans available, the 91 two- and three-bedroom homes at Sequoia are expected to sell out quickly. “This is a great location, a great design and great pricing,” says Wang-

Foong. Kitchens include porcelain subway tile backsplashes, stainless-steel doublebasin sinks, and flat-front square-line cabinet doors. Two kitchen layouts are available; the first features an L-shaped design with an eating nook. The second includes an oversized island with a breakfast bar and pendant lighting. Both are perfect for entertaining, a family dinner or breakfast on the run. The main floor in all homes include airy nine-foot ceilings that make the entire place feel incredibly spacious, and painted baseboards and interior window trim add an extra finishing touch. Bathrooms feature large vanity mirrors, elegant sconce lighting and polished-chrome Kohler faucets. Depending on the floorplan, upstairs bathrooms include a luxurious soaker tub or a walk-in shower. The exteriors are just as beautiful as the inside. The homes feature

Craftsman-style architecture and rich brick accents, and each includes large bay windows and a well-lit front porch. Even the entrance is sophisticated and calming; you will feel like you’re entering an exclusive community as soon as you turn into the driveway. “We want people to have a connection with their neighbours,” says Wang-Foong. Making that connection will not be hard, since on the property stands the Creekside Clubhouse. The building includes a large lounge with a

kitchen and fireplace, a gym and a flex space for owners to use for whatever they’d like, from birthday parties to bridal showers. One unusual feature of the clubhouse is the guest suite, which owners can rent out when they have overnight visitors. The clubhouse also has its own green space that will hold a play area and south-facing patio. Two-bedroom homes start at $314,900. For more information, check out www.sequoialiving.ca, or call 604575-7366.

Sequoia, built by Fairborne Homes, is the perfect place for young families or a fresh start. Options such as window seats (top) are attractive to buyers looking for a place to curl up with a book and a mug of tea, while spacious kitchens (above) and living rooms (left) are great for entertaining or a quiet night at home.

Flames come calling Cloverdale pair drafted by NHL team by Rick Kupchuk THEY WERE teammates in minor hockey, and again in the B.C. Major Midget League. They went their separate ways to play in the Western Hockey League, but Tyler Wotherspoon and Laurent Brossoit may soon be teammates again in professional hockey. The two products of Cloverdale Minor Hockey were claimed by the Calgary Flames at last weekend’s National Hockey League (NHL) entry draft in Minneapolis. Wotherspoon, a 6’1”, 196-lb. defenceman with the Portland Winterhawks, was taken in the second round, 57th overall. Brossoit, a goaltender, was selected in the sixth round, 164th overall. “I was confused, I didn’t know where I was going,” said Wotherspoon after his name was called. “But Calgary is a great city, I’ve been there a lot and I’m excited.” Wotherspoon scored twice and added 10 assists in the regular season, his second with the Winter-

hawks, and added three goals and an assist in 20 playoff games. Portland advanced to the Western Hockey League (WHL) final before losing in five games to the Kootenay Ice.

“...Calgary is a great city, I’ve been there a lot and I’m excited.” Tyler Wotherspoon Describing himself as “a defensive two-way guy,” Wotherspoon, 18, expects to be back in Portland for a third year in the WHL before making the jump to professional hockey. “I’m going to work as hard as I can, I don’t have a set schedule,” he said of his offseason plan. “I have a great team to go back to in Portland, and will learn as much as I can. Then I will come to camp as a 19-year-old, fit and ready to go.”

Brossoit, a teammate of Wotherspoon’s at both the Bantam A level with the Cloverdale Colts and the B.C. Major Midget League with the Valley West Hawks, was the highestranked goaltender in the WHL prior to the draft, and was the first netminder from the league claimed by an NHL team. The six-foot-three, 202-lb. goaltender played one season in the B.C. Hockey League with the Cowichan Valley Capitals before his rookie season in the WHL last year with the Edmonton Oil Kings. He had a 13-12-2 (won-lossovertime loss) record with a 3.32 goals-against average and an .887 save percentage. “I didn’t have the year I had hoped for in Edmonton, but it got me here,” said Brossoit before the draft. “I showed the scouts what I could do and I have potential.” Brossoit will likely be back in Edmonton for the 2011-12 season, battling for the number one job with the Oil Kings. sports@surreyleader.com

Undefeated week for United’s PCSL teams Soccer squad qualiﬁes for Challenge Cup tournament by Rick Kupchuk

BACK-TO-BACK wins

has clinched a berth

in the season-ending Challenge Cup for Sur-

rey United. The Pacific Coast Soccer League team edged the Vancouver Thunderbirds and Mid-Island highlanders, ensuring United a top four finish in the six-team men’s league. The Challenge Cup tournament will be played July 22-24 in Penticton. Angus Burke and Liam Miller tallied for Surrey in their win over the Thunderbirds

last Wednesday (June 22) in Cloverdale. Sunday afternoon in Ladysmith, Tom Lowndes and Braden Volkendam were the goal scorers against the Highlanders. Surrey’s record improved to 6-2-2 (won-lost-tied) with two games to play. Currently in first place, United is just one point up on Khalsa SC, and two ahead of Vancouver. Khalsa and

the Thunderbirds both have three games left on their schedules, two of which are against each other. Surrey will visit fourth place Victoria United (5-4-0) on July 9, before their final game at home against Khalsa SC on July 13. Surrey United’s women’s team was also unbeaten in two recent games. United played Abbotsford SA to a 1-1 tie Sunday afternoon

at Cloverdale Athletic Park, then edged West Vancouver FC 2-1 on the road Monday night. Betty Casey netted all three goals for Surrey in the two games, as United moved into third place in the 10-team women’s league with a 5-3-1 record. United will play next Thursday (July 7) against Coquitlam Metro Ford at Cloverdale Athletic Park.

Let your Canada Day pride shine Classic rockers, dancers and homegrown favourites take the stage at all-day party in Cloverdale by Jennifer Lang

t’s not bragging if it’s true: tens of thousands of Surreyites are going to raise a little hell on Canada Day, thanks to legendary rock band, Trooper. For those not in the know, Trooper is responsible for some of the nation’s best-loved and most singable songs, from the uniquely Canadian call to action, “Raise a Little Hell,” to the ultimate ode to a sunny afternoon on the rainy Wet Coast, “We’re Here for a Good Time (Not a Long Time).” Surrey’s July 1 festivities are Western Canada’s largest Canada Day celebration, drawing more than 100,000 people to the Cloverdale Millennium Amphitheatre at 176 Street and 64 Avenue for a free, day-long event filled with live music, family friendly activities, food and cultural events, capped off with a fireworks display. This year, things get an extra blast of patriotic jet fuel: Mr. O Canada himself, local opera singer Mark Donnelly, will be on hand to sing the national anthem at 8:35 p.m., just before Trooper takes the stage. Donnelly is famous outside the concert hall for his unabashedly patriotic rendition of O Canada at Canucks home games – and for his ability to get the crowd to sing along. The 2011 music lineup celebrates the best in Canadian talent, from local and up-and-coming performers to nationally known classic rockers and cultural dancers. Along with Trooper, headliners include Harlequin, another classic Canadian band that pro produced a string of radio-friendly hits in the 1980s, including “Innocence” and “I Did if for Love.” Surrey-raised pop singer Elise Estrada is a Juno nominee, while The Latency is a

young trio from Maple Ridge. Their song “Tonight, I Love You,” was featured on TV’s Degrassi. Surrey native Lisa Brokop also is also returning to perform with The Jeffersons alongside her husband. Big River – A Johnny Cash Tribute, features singer David Pittet, who’s building a growing reputation for his uncanny vocal resemblance to the original Man in Black. Other main stage performers include the Korean Traditional Arts Society and First Nations performers The Wild Moccasin Dancers, featuring dancer Shyama-Priya along with classically trained cellist and electronic artist Cris Derksen, who also appeared at Surrey Winterfest earlier this year. Children’s performers Music with Marnie, GoGo Bonkers!, Captain Canada and juggler Mike Battie will also be on hand to delight the smaller members of the crowd. Talent on the second stage includes the top 20 artists in the 2011 Peak Performance Project, including Vancouver’s Jasper Sloan Yip and Surrey’s The Oh Wells. The contest is a professional development program to help foster new artists embarking on a music career. Past participants have included Juno winners Said the Whale and Cloverdale/Langley’s The Left. Other attractions include amusement rides, interactive games and bouncy castles for the kids. This year there are also freestyle motocross shows at 2:15 p.m., 4:15 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. The official opening ceremonies with Mayor Dianne Watts and council is at 1:30 p.m. Fireworks start at 10:15 p.m. For more information, visit www.surrey.ca/ canadaday

Inaugural Delta Interschool Film Festival a hit

by Sheila Reynolds THREE students are

walking down separate hallways of their school. One is talking on her cellphone and two others look like they’re texting. As they come to a point where the hallways intersect, the seemingly oblivious kids all bump into one another and fall to the ground. The scene is one from a Public Service Announcement called Don’t Use Cell Phones While Driving, created by Port Guichon Elementary’s Jessica Tarumoto, Natalie Baltzer, Riley Duimel and Riley Hayles. The next scene shows a trio of cyclists, talking and texting while riding down the street before crashing into one another, followed by text that flashes on screen: “What happens

when you put them in a car?” The 57-second PSA took first place in the Elementary Short Film category at the first ever Delta Interschool Film Festival (DIFF) last month. The movie was one of 39 entries submitted by 130 students from 12 Delta schools. The juried festival awarded student films in four categories. Taking top spot for Secondary Short Film was Depression Hurts, by Alicia Johnston with Shaylen Watts-Whitehead from Burnsview Secondary. The 47-second piece opens with a girl’s face flashing from different angles on the screen in black and white, repeatedly saying “it hurts” and how sometimes she feels so alone. Then, two people approach the girl from behind, placing a hand

CITY NEWS Beware of Giant Hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum) Giant Hogweed is an invasive plant that can cause considerable injury to people and is a serious threat to natural ecosystems. It can reach a height of 15 feet and has large blossoms of numerous white flowers clustered in an umbrella-shaped head that is more than 2 feet across. Avoid direct contact with the plant as the sap and stem hairs cause a serious skin inflammation activated by exposure to the sun. For photograph and how to report a sighting, visit www.surrey.ca under Notices.
