rained to be virtually silent and nearly invisible in the shadows of the deep Borneo jungle, Gurkha soldiers were slightly amused – or bemused – by a young, fairskinned soldier from Sussex, England lurking with them in search of the enemy. Even with his face caked in camouflage make-up, Bob Dominick’s steel-blue eyes stood out against the myriad green hues of the tangled, rain-soaked vegetation. Keep your eyes shut, they whispered to him, only half in jest. Stealth, silence and the senses were keys to survival in this environment. Dominick was at war, a particularly dirty one that the British government – still smarting from the Suez Crisis in a new post-colonial world – was keen to keep from the public eye, y even though in Borneo, the “good guys” eventuallyy won. From 1964-68, Dominick was a member of the Combined British Commonwealth o Force of special forces operatives during a conflict between Communist insurgents, backed by Indonesia, and the newly in independent Malaysia (formerly Malaya), backed by the U.K. ba It w was a war of three long phases that lasted from shortly after the Second World War into the early 1970s. His first tour of duty lasted for two years, far longer than soldiers are sent into the field nowadays. After a six-month furlough in the U.K., he returned for another 18 months. See MEDALS / Page 7

Bob Dominick spent the better part of four years fighting a war that most Westerners have never heard of. The Surrey resident fought alongside Commonwealth troops against a Communist insurgency in Malaysia during the 1960s.

new directors to the board of TransLink. Rick Christiaanse is a telecommunications industry executive and consultant who previously worked for Sport BC and with the 2010 Olympics. Marcella Szel is a former vicepresident of CP Rail who also serves on the Port Metro Vancouver board and is past chair of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. A third director, Howard Nemtin, was re-appointed to a second threeyear term. He has a background in real estate development consulting and is a commercial mediator. A third of the nine seats on the board come up for renewal or replacement each year. TransLink directors collect more than $50,000 a year – a base stipend of $25,000 per year plus additional amounts for chairing committees and $1,200 for every meeting they attend. Although the region’s mayors council has final say on board appointees, they pick from a small short list of applicants vetted by a panel that mainly represents business groups. The board controls all TransLink spending and meets behind closed doors. Mayors only get a vote when the board seeks higher taxes or fares for supplemental spending. The mayors council is pressing the province to reform the governance structure to give them more say in how TransLink is run and in setting spending priorities.

TIPS TO PROTECT YOUR LOCAL CREEKS AND STREAMS

During the next few months there is going to be a lot of rain. After it falls rain goes, untreated, down the storm drain straight to streams and creeks taking harmful chemicals and pollutants with it. Everyone needs to do their part to help protect the local streams and creeks because salmon and trout need a clean and healthy habitat. By taking preventative measures and making environmentally wise choices you can prevent pollution from reaching local streams and creeks.

FISH TIPS

1

The rain washes dirt and oil from driveways down the storm drain, so make sure when you clean your driveway that you direct all dirt and water onto your grass as it acts as a natural filter.

2

If you see a storm drain covered with debris, take a second and clear it off. This will prevent flooding and keep the debris from going down the storm drain which can affect fish habitat.

Large fire destroys wood plant Fleetwood building burned Wednesday morning by Kevin Diakiw A HUGE blaze kept Surrey firefighters busy into the late

EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER

Surrey Firefighters extinguish a fire at ST Wood Products, a lumber storage facility on 84 Avenue near 162 Street early Wednesday morning.

hours of Wednesday morning in Fleetwood, as a wood processing plant continued to burn. At about 2:30 a.m., Surrey fire crews were called out to the fire at ST Wood Products, located at 16241 84 Ave. When firefighters arrived, most of the structure was ablaze. As of 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, two trucks and several firefighters were still on scene putting out small fires in the building, which was destroyed in the fire. The source of the blaze is not known yet. It’s not believed anyone was injured in the fire. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Medals: From two countries, for the same war From page 1 The young man loved the jungle lifestyle. “You’ve always got a smile on your face, bloke,” one Australian soldier told him. His bases were in the northern quarter of the island of Borneo, in the old Malayan/ new Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak. His job was to attack the bases and supply routes of Communist insurgents trying to take over the north. Dominick would patrol along the western coast of Borneo and would quietly enter Indonesia-proper, south of the border between the two countries. As a soldier, “you don’t listen to the politics of it when you’re on the ground fighting,” says the South Surrey resident, now 64 and a businessman in North Surrey. Dominick was part of a unique military force. The coalition was composed of special forces soldiers (including British SAS and Royal Marine SBS) from throughout Commonwealth countries; Malaysian police; professional Gurkha Regiment soldiers from Nepal; and Dayak Indians, indigenous tribes of Borneo notorious as headhunters. Dominick describes the military force, which included the Royal Navy on picket duty along the coast, as “a lot of different entities fighting for the same goal – freedom.” Their weapons: “Everything from Sterling submachine guns to blowpipes.” There were no set-piece battles, no front lines and little distinction between civilians and combatants. “It was very difficult to identify the enemy from civilians, which is something that one could say is the start of the current wave of warfare,” says Dominick. “In World War Two, for example, everyone wore jolly old uniforms, and you could spot who they were a mile away.” The new conflict was a war of terrorist bombings, ambushes, massacres and unplanned engagements deep in the undergrowth. In comparison, Dominick says, today’s soldiers are fighting with different rules of engagement under the eye of cameras, limiting their effectiveness.

In Malaysia, with fewer restrictions, the soldiers did their jobs to the fullest, and won – in contrast to the far bloodier, and more public mess in the jungles of Vietnam. “We had to do things that CNN would be all over today.” In Borneo, the insurgents had little support from the local population, the interdiction of their supplies was relatively effective (North Vietnam had several borders with their weapons suppliers), and leaders in communist countries lost interest in continuing to help what they realized was a lost cause.

own comrades). But tens of thousands of the t enemy were killed in the war – no one knows exactly how many, Dominick admits. The death toll on the “allied” side was 519 British or Commonwealth persono nel, 1,300 Malaysian police and about 3,000 civilians. BOB DOMINICK remembers B the austerity of the immediate post-Second World War period in the UK, where rationing didn’t taper off until the early 1950s. “I can remember not seeing an orange or a banana until I was about five years old.” Since his grandfather had served in the

Bob Dominick fought alongside Malaysian and Commonwealth troops (including Australians, above right) in the mid-1960s to defeat a Communist insurgency. Most importantly, Dominick says, is that the Commonwealth army had better-trained soldiers who were more disciplined, better armed and fed, and more dedicated to their cause. The Commonwealth forces also did their best to not antagonize local populations while hunting for insurgents among civilians. On rare occasions, they fed and sent back prisoners with the message that the British weren’t going to do what the enemy was told they would – meaning torture or kill prisoners. (Dominick doesn’t know what happened to those prisoners who returned to their

Royal Navy during the First World War, and his father and six uncles were officers and soldiers in the Second World War, Dominick joined the Military Academy at the age of 16. “To grow up with men that had been through those conflicts was quite inspiring for me.” He recalls family stories of liberation in particular in Europe and found a growing passion about people’s freedom. “I see two parallels now. One where I grew up as a little boy where I was free, and another with my mother-in-law growing up in a (Belgian) town that was occupied by the Germans.

“I grew up to treasure the freedom that I’d been given. In a way, it seemed a natural progression for me to move into the job I did.” Dominick would return for his second 18-month tour in the jungle as a volunteer. “You couldn’t (volunteer to be in combat) without feeling that you’re helping people feel free from oppression. I don’t know many people who would fight without that passion.” While he admits it seems odd to call his experience an adventure today, he doesn’t shy away from it. “This is something I struggle to understand when I read about ‘our poor guys’ overseas. If they’re anything like the guys I used to be with, they want to be there because that’s what they’re trained to do. They don’t want to be sitting around in a camp waiting for something to happen. They want to be on the ground.” After his two tours in Asia, Dominick returned to the UK and was involved with the military’s Special Investigations Branch, which works on drug trafficking, major crimes and terrorist threats to the UK. Finally looking for peace and quiet, Dominick moved to Canada in 1987. He is the president and CEO of Lightyear Digital Theatre, a Surrey and Beverly Hills company that last year donated a $500,000 digital and 3D theatre system to SFU Surrey. He works at WestStone Properties near Central City, is the immediate past-president of the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association and is the chairman of the Surrey City Centre Economic Development Committee. In 2010, British veterans of the Malayan War, including Dominick, were each given a Pingat Jasa Malaysia medal by the Malaysian government for their service in the campaign. The British Ministry of Defence had to give special permission for the medals, since the British veterans had already received medals from their own country. The veterans now have two medals honouring their participation in the same war. bjoseph@surreyleader.com

Group tackles issuses facing the district

Ne w albu m!

by Christine Lyon NINETEEN OF the 20 candidates seek-

ing one of the seven spots on Delta school board squeezed shoulder-toshoulder onto the Genesis Theatre stage Monday night (Nov. 7) to tackle major issues facing the district. Questions were submitted by the hosts of the trustees’ debate – the Delta District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC), Delta Teachers Association and CUPE – as well as audience members. Asked what the greatest challenge facing Delta teachers is today, incumbent candidate Janet Shauntz responded “special education.” “We’re underfunded in that area,” she said. “(Specialized teachers) don’t have the resources that they need and we really would like to get them.” For other candidates, such as incumbent Brenda Bennett-Schneider, the biggest challenge revolves around class composition. “We have high numbers of special needs and not enough resources,” she said. Andy Basi said because the district

depends on the province for money it will continue to face fiscal challenges due to declining enrolment. And Sue Lloyd said the school board must keep teachers abreast of changing technology. A question submitted by a student asked if candidates would support facility upgrades at secondary schools, specifically the Delta Secondary School turf field proposal, which would be a joint project with the Corporation of Delta. Incumbent Laura Dixon said she would “absolutely” support a new turf field, explaining the current board has developed a good working relationship with council members on the Delta Council/Delta Board of Education Liaison Committee. Fellow incumbent Fabian Milat, who is also running for a seat on council, called for more co-operation between the school board and municipal hall, noting the school district is “land rich” but “money poor.” A parent in the audience asked how the candidates would allocate funds and support initiatives to engage South Asian students, parents and the community.

Donna Burke, who was a member of the Delta South Asian Student Support Initiative, said the committee always struggled with funding for translation services. “I would definitely support more funding and going to the outside community also for help in this area,” she said. In answer to a question posed by CUPE representatives, all respondents agreed that maintaining a clean, safe environment is an important part of the education process. Incumbent Simon Truelove said the board has always tried to keep cuts away from the actual learning of the students. “It’s a lot easier for a board to make the decision to cut the custodial position than to cut, for example, an EA (educational assistant) who is working with a special needs child,” he said, but added “This is not okay at all.” Given the district’s funding challenges, candidates were asked what their strategies would be to meet the needs of all Delta students, particu-

larly the most vulnerable. Julie Sanders said implementing International Baccalaureate and Montessori programs could attract more students and thus more funding. “I know we can draw

n his own private way, an old veteran just wants to be forgotten. While Canada remembers its war and peacekeeping veterans and the fallen on Remembrance Day, for Louis, the date bears no significance, other than his wedding anniversary. As of tomorrow (Friday), he’s spent 70 years with wife Stella. They’re both 91, quietly fading away in North Surrey. They don’t bother anyone, and they don’t want attention. For Louis, being called a Second World War veteran brings out a defiant rejection of any recognition the country could give him. The man has never worn any of his six medals, never gone back to the old battlefields and never attended a military reunion of any kind. Louis – who more than 60 years ago spent weeks on rain-soaked Vancouver Island guarding against a feared Japanese invasion with an obsolete Ross Rifle and no ammunition, who Boaz waded into “water up to your neck” at 3 a.m. during the invasion of Sicily, and who repaired broken-down Churchill Tanks with a welding torch near Arnhem, Holland – saw no heroism in the war. Just soldiers, tired, cold, hungry and in physical danger. “How many generals got killed?” he asks at his kitchen table, a cane at his side. Louis recalls the poor-quality “free” cigarettes given to troops, the supposedly sunk-in-theAtlantic parcel shipments from home ending up in British hands, and how visiting dignitaries at the time gave no respect or thanks to the men on the front lines. Indeed, his wedding, which took place before

he left the country, was on Nov. 11, 1941 during a short furlough in Winnipeg. He got married at 10 a.m., followed by two minutes of silence with his comrades an hour later. It’s his neighbour, Terrie, who will delve into the cold, the hardships, the loss of friends Louis experienced during the war, relayed to her at one time or another in the eight years she’s known him. But Louis, private man that he is, does take the time to show a new visitor a collection of 18 small black-and-white photographs. His fingers point to images of ships in port, Italian roads, Allied tanks (good Shermans, bad Churchills), Canadian transport columns, his welding trucks and abandoned German tanks and submarines. It’s no history book, but a history book isn’t alive. Louis is. He’s one of the thousands of Second World War veterans that are, even if reluctant, still able to tell their stories to those interested. e veterans who choose to stand Joseph (orThsit) at attention at 11 a.m. tomorrow are free to express their pride for serving their country. But even those who don’t, the ones who remain in the shadows, deserve our respect too. All of the soldiers of the previous great war are gone now. Within two decades, virtually all of the men and women from the Second World War era who are here today will be gone too. There’s a sense of guilt about asking Louis what Nov. 11 means to him – as if it’s a cliché. His answer is pretty direct. “Nothing. I’m trying to forget the whole thing.” For those who have never met Louis though, remember him, if just for one day. bjoseph@surreyleader.com

Surrey/North Delta Leader 11

Fiscal responsibility boils down to attitude Science over I AM A CONCERNED taxpayer in the City of Surrey. The reason for my concern is simple and is based on audited financial statements from the City of Surrey. While property taxes have not increased dramatically, spending has increased. Governments obtain their revenues from many sources, including past surpluses. The revenue source is always the taxpayer. Specifically, our operating expense in Surrey

has increased $146,000,000 over four fiscal periods; that’s an increase of 41.3 per cent. Who amongst us has had an increase of 41.3 per cent? Our revenue has increased by $227,000,000 over the same period, that’s an increase of 48.3 per cent. The only source for revenue is ultimately the taxpayer. Last year the city established an expense budget. The expenses exceeded budget by $102,900,00; that’s overspending of 25.8 per cent. Even the city’s auditors issued a statement

about the need for spending controls. If the past is any guide to the future, what do we have to look forward to? The city’s five-year plan calls for spending of more than $1 billion. Yes, that’s a billion. What will be the outcome? Fiscal responsibility boils down to attitude. When I vote, I won’t be voting for the people who have been spending in the past. Robert G. Grubb

We owe more than praise, medals A SMALL PERCENTAGE of Canadians choose to serve our country by wearing a military uniform. The rest of us can thank them by insisting that the federal government supplies the necessary resources to support our veterans. That means accepting the costly responsibility of making medical and psychological services readily available for those in need. Canada owes our military personnel more than praise, decorations, medals and an annual Remembrance Day parade. Our politicians have a moral obligation to insure physical and emotional assistance is available for our veterans every day of the year. Please hold your Member of Parliament accountable. Lloyd Atkins Vernon

Heroes in more ways than one AS WE PAUSE on Nov. 11 to remember those who sacrificed their lives in military service, we can also give thanks to the Second World War veterans who played a role in building Surrey Memorial Hospital. Surrey vets, fresh from the battlefield, arrived back home in the 1940s and took up an important cause closer to home. They fought for a new hospital. Due to their relentless fundraising and advocacy, Surrey Memorial

FILE PHOTO / THE LEADER

Letter writers say Canada must not only pay veterans respect, but should support them long after they return home. Hospital opened in 1959. Now, 52 years later, it is the second-largest hospital in British Columbia. It is now undergoing an expansion that will see the addition of 151 new beds, bringing it to 650 beds. The construction of the Critical Care Tower at Surrey Memorial is the largest capital expansion in the

province’s history. Additionally, it plays an important role in the training of doctors with an entire floor in the new tower devoted to the Medical School at UBC. The veterans, their family and friends would be proud that their actions have brought relief and life-saving treatment to so

ideology ONE OF THE KEY features of post-

modern age is a dichotomy between values and facts. That which we value (religion, morality and philosophy) are accepted as long as they are kept in the private sphere and don’t influence public policy; whereas facts (science and all that is objective) are accepted as universal truth and allowed to be discussed in the public sphere and provide a basis for policy. A recent example of this postmodern view of the world is seen- in the reaction to Bill C-10, the omnibus crime bill that the Conservatives are passing through Parliament. Those opposed to tougher sentencing laws. i.e. longer jail terms, have cried out that the facts don’t support this form of carrying out justice; that this policy direction is “ideologically” based, or the result of philosophy overriding facts. I do not wish to discuss the merits of the Bill C-10, but I do want to expose the hypocrisy shown by adherents to the post-modern world view described above when this dichotomy is applied to another policy issue in Canada. Scientific evidence clearly shows that from the moment of conception an entirely new, unique human being begins his/her life. It has been said that, “virtually no ethicist denies that the fetus is human: biologically, genetically, scientifically human.” Canadians are not aware of the facts regarding the unborn because of the pro-choice ideology. Each year in Canada thousands of women make the choice to end the life of their unborn child without being made aware of the facts behind that choice. It’s time that the pro-choice movement set their ideology aside so that all Canadians are aware of the truths of abortion; a truth that is based on scientific facts. Mike Schouten, Surrey

All cultures speak the universal language of hockey I FIRST STARTED WATCHING hockey about three years ago with my family and I’ve seen Canada’s national sport change a lot in terms of its viewers and fans. It’s fantastic to see that a majority of my fellow IndoCanadian friends are starting to adopt different ways of living. I know for a fact that if they chose Canada and specifically Surrey as a city they want to live in, they have a legitimate reason to go with that as well. Hockey is what has taught my family to embrace the culture of Canada and most importantly brought my family closer to the many people of different cultural backgrounds, strengthening the bond between each other even more. But the principle reason behind all this was what my family and I first came across a few years ago: Hockey Night in Canada – in Punjabi. Since my parents have grown up speaking their national language, they were astonished to see that 20 years after

arriving in Canada, they’ve had yet to experience one of the best sources of entertainment. “What could be better than watching the national sport of the country that has given us shelter, freedom, occupation and helped us achieve our dreams and goals, in the mother tongue of the country we have been brought up in?” they stated. There’s nothing wrong with watching hockey in English, but there’s also nothing wrong with having hockey commentary in the fourth most-spoken non-official language in Canada (according to Statistics Canada’s 2006 census). It isn’t a reason to discriminate against anyone or anything. On one hand, we are ranting on about how Canada is a multicultural, multi-ethnic society that welcomes people from across the world, and on the other hand the time to show national pride and unity is being taken away from fans that enjoy watching hockey in their native language. Having said that, it may even be the one and only

language they are able to comprehend the sport with. Watching hockey in English is not the only way to increase English terminology. Hockey is bridging any cultural gaps and changing the thinking of Indo-Canadian generations in an extremely good manner. My personal thoughts are that I’d love to have Hockey Night in Canada in Punjabi aired again by CBC, regardless how it is thought that it is an unnecessary waste of dollars. Something that is exceedingly beneficial to the community and to the country as a whole would not be a waste of money. There is no lack of support to help get Punjabi commentary back on. “Mahriaa shot te keeta goal!” as Punjabi commentators Harnarayan Singh and Amrinder Singh exclaim after the Canucks score a goal.

Five charged over fake transit passes

Don’t get left in the cold.

Police say counterfeit ring included foreigners by Jeff Nagel TRANSIT POLICE have busted

a counterfeit ring accused of selling fake TransLink monthly transit passes that were made in China. Insp. Brian MacDonald said counterfeit two-zone FareCards that normally sell for $110 were marketed for about $90 to $100 through Chinese and English ads on social networking sites. “It was a fairly sophisticated operation,” he said, adding hundreds of passes were made and sold. Xue Liu, a 22-year-old Chinese citizen living in Van-

couver, is charged with three charges of forgery, possession and presentation of forged documents. Four other Vancouver residents – 23-year-old Brian Anthony Nardi, 26-year-old Jason Ka-Yiu Law, 29-year-old Thunyapa Siriprapakorn and 27-year-old Jessica Tsz Ching Woo – face charges of possessing or presenting forgeries. Liu and Siriprapakorn, a Thai citizen, are here on student or visitor visas. A third foreign national has been deported for being in Canada illegally as a result of the eight-month investigation,

which is continuing and could lead to more charges. It’s illegal to buy transit passes from anyone but a licensed FareDealer, MacDonald said. “People who buy these are putting themselves at significant risk,” he said, adding violators could get a $173 ticket or face criminal charges depending on the circumstances. TransLink expects pass counterfeiting and illegal reselling of tickets will subside in 2013 when it rolls out its Compass smart card payment system. jnagel@surreyleader.com

$3.8M for lucky lottery winner

HOT WATER TANK BLITZ

Grandkids will be spoiled this Christmas by Sheila Reynolds

Skip Yeng told his wife the secret that he became a multi-millionaire when he took her out to dinner.

WHEN HE spoke to The Leader recently, Skip Yeng was calm. In fact, he hadn’t even told his wife the big news yet. Yeng discovered he was a multimillionaire the day before, after winning the Oct. 26 Lotto 6/49 draw. He planned to take his wife out for dinner Friday night to let her in on his secret. The Surrey resident checked the numbers on his ticket at local drug store on Thursday, but thought maybe he had just won $3,800.

Yeng went later in the day to another lotto outlet and checked again. He was alone, so he couldn’t make a big scene when he confirmed he’d won the jackpot of $3.8 million. “I didn’t want to make a big commotion,� said the 54-year-old. A semi-retired father of six kids and grandfather to two, Yeng says he’ll continue to dabble in real estate and won’t make any drastic life changes right away. “I’ll continue doing what I’m doing.� He does plan to spoil his grandkids a little more this Christmas though.

Rebates to rev up electric car sales Province offers breaks for clean vehicles, charge stations by Jeff Nagel NEW CAR buyers in B.C.

will get a break of up to $5,000 if they choose a vehicle powered by electricity, hydrogen or compressed natural gas. The point-of-sale rebate unveiled by the provincial government is part of $17 million in funding to help rev up the future of clean energy vehicles in B.C. The $2,500-to-$5,000 rebate starts Dec. 1 and covers qualifying new battery electric, hydrogen fuel cell electric, plug-in hybrid electric and natural gas models. “Manufacturers are eager to launch their new electric, plug-in hybrid electric and fuel cell cars in markets that demonstrate both high demand and with infrastructure in place,” New Car Dealers Association of B.C. CEO Blair Qualey said. “B.C. is now one of those markets.” New Democrats noted incentives for electric cars aren’t new – B.C. had exempted them from PST until 2008. But Environment Minister Terry Lake predicted the rebates will encourage buyers to go green by reducing the cost of vehicles with little to no emissions. Battery-powered electric cars cost as little as $300 per year in electricity compared to $1,500 or more for a gas-powered vehicle. Homeowners can also get an up to $500 rebate through LiveSmartBC if they install dedicated electric vehicle battery charging stations in their homes. That covers about a third of the cost of the specialized outlets, which cut recharging times in half to about six hours. Lake also pledged $6.5 million for electric vehicle charging points and upgrading existing hydrogen fueling stations. Surrey recently unveiled free public electric vehicle charging stations at its city hall and is already host to two hydrogen fueling stations. Mercedes-Benz Canada plans to make fuel cell stacks for hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles at a plant in Burnaby. B.C. is also extending the Scrap-It program, which offers owners of heavily polluting older vehicles either cash or incentives like bus passes or car-share

memberships to take their old gas guzzler off the road. The push towards

electric cars will put more pressure on B.C.’s power grid. Green energy advo-

cate David Field said B.C. needs to ensure the required power comes from renewable clean

sources, not imported coal-fired electricity. The province is trying to restrain electricity

rate increases at B.C. Hydro, raising doubts about whether it will continue to pay extra

Mayors: Want to protect interests of civic taxpayers From page 19 said Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew, adding it’s therefore wrong to continue the “representation without taxation” allowed under the current system. “There’s a jurisdictional void here that has all kinds of implications,” he said. “We need to ensure full cost recovery and protect the interests of local government taxpayers.” Tens of thousands of non-aboriginal residents are expected to move into housing developments that will be built on First Nations land in the years ahead, particularly on the North Shore. The building boom will be lucrative for native bands that are poised to convert their prime real estate into a steady flow of rental income. But the trend raises issues of fairness. Non-native reserve residents pay taxes to the First Nation and some of that money flows to neighbouring cities to pay for services, but Drew said the full costs aren’t covered.

And those reserve residents pay no property tax to TransLink or Metro Vancouver – effectively getting a free ride on the broader costs of regional transit and utility services, both of which are rising steadily. Nor do they contribute to the education system through school property tax. Such inequities were considered minor when relatively few non-First Nation residents lived on reserves. But with their numbers projected to swell to as much as 30,000 on the North Shore alone, some say it’s time for a rethink. The issue was the subject of a report to Metro from the Lower Mainland Treaty Advisory Committee (LMTAC), which recommended excluding reserves. One concern is the voting influence nonnatives on reserve could wield in the neighbouring municipality even though they’re not taxed directly. “As that population grows they could be very influential in the

outcome of elections and referenda,” Bowen Island Coun. Peter Frinton said. The 7.5 per cent of West Vancouver voters who live on reserve is projected to climb to as much as 30 per cent of the electorate within 25 years, the LMTAC report said. It warned on-reserve residents could, in theory, grow to hold

the majority of votes for a city council even though they pay no taxes to the city. Meanwhile, band members are exempt from the taxes their bands levy on nonaboriginal residents, creating yet another case of representation without taxation. Squamish Nation Chief Gibby Jacob appeared before the

Honouring our veterans and those still serving.

Metro board to try to allay fears and urge more dialogue. “The reports and the comments made about our people are onesided,” he said. Harold Calla, an administrator and negotiator with the Squamish Nation, told

directors he believes service agreements can be fair and address local cities’ concerns. “We do not expect the non-aboriginal taxpayer to subsidize those on reserve,” he said. Calla said it would be “unfortunate and regressive” to deny

reserve residents the civic vote. Unlike band members, non-aboriginals on reserve cannot vote for or be elected to the band councils that govern non-treaty First Nations land, so the proposal would leave them without any local vote.

Metro switch eliminates $324K grant

METRO VANCOUVER is pulling out of the Lower Mainland Treaty Advisory Committee to chop a $324,000 annual grant to the body that monitors aboriginal issues and observes treaty talks on behalf of local cities. But the move leaves neighbouring regional districts in the lurch that were represented by LMTAC and has raised questions about whether Metro will have observers in future treaty negotiations with area First Nations. LMTAC rep Alan Nixon had pleaded with the Metro board to fund the committee for another six months. But Metro’s board voted against a reprieve Friday. The regional district will now handle those issues through its own aboriginal relations committee, which will report more directly to area mayors. “First Nations people are now moving into other aspects of governance,” board chair and Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said. “It’s important the mayors be very closely related to these issues.” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said Metro Vancouver had been subsidizing LMTAC for the benefit of the neighbouring Squamish-Lillooet and

Sunshine Coast regional districts. Richmond Coun. Harold Steves voted to continue the grant and at least postpone winding up LMTAC to properly assess the implications. The province, which bargains on behalf of cities at treaty tables, allows an LMTAC rep to observe the talks. Metro officials believe the province will agree to instead allow the Metro committee to name an observer to future negotiations. Funding for LMTAC from Victoria has been cut over the years from $80,000 down to $10,000. The entire future of the treaty process has been increasingly in question, with the B.C. Treaty Commission recently suggesting it should be scrapped if more progress doesn’t come within a year. Metro Vancouver is home to B.C.’s only urban treaty, with the Tsawwassen First Nation. But most other aboriginal groups in the region are not actively negotiating, opting to instead pursue land development and business opportunities on their reserve lands. Metro had also been poised to terminate a $60,000 a year grant to the Recycling Council of B.C. to run a recycling hotline.

Shutout win for United

To honour those who defended our country and preserved our freedom, Valley View Memorial Gardens wishes to place a small Canadian Flag on every Veteran’s grave in Valley View Memorial Gardens Cemetery.

Surrey soccer team extends win streak to three games by Rick Kupchuk

record which is good for seventh place in the 12-team league. Gagan Josan scored the Delta goal, tying the game in the 65th minute. The Hurricanes are at home Sunday, hosting Norvan Pacific at John Oliver Park at noon. ■ North Delta United sits alone in third place in the Fraser Valley Soccer League’s Premier Division. North Delta defeated the TWU Titans 3-1 last Saturday at Delsom Park. At 5-1-3, North Delta is one point back of sec-

ond place Port Moody Gunners. Goals came from Nick Baronian, Dave Burns and Kevan Gaull. The Gunners defeated Surrey FC Athletic Club 3-1 last Wednesday night (Nov. 2). Scott McDonald tallied for the Athletic Club, which is in seventh place at 3-1-5 and will host Langley United Sunday evening at Newton Athletic Park at 6 p.m. North Delta will be at home again next weekend, hosting the Chilliwack Rapids Saturday at 6 p.m. at Delsom Park.

We need your help to know who these Veterans are. If your Father, Mother, Brother, Sister, Friend or Relative were Veterans, and interred at Valley View, please call us and we’ll ensure that his or her memory and service are not overlooked.

A THIRD straight shutout victory has put Surrey United in Firefighters a position to defend their Premier Division championship. United struck twice in the second half for a 2-0 win over Croatia SC in Vancouver Metro Soccer League play Saturday evening at Hjorth Road Park. The win improves the Firefighter’s record to 5-0-4 (won-tied-lost), leaving the team in fourth place, tied with Surrey rival ICST Pegasus having played one more game. Angus Burke scored the winning goal in the 50th minute, and Sean Einarsson added an insurance goal 15 minutes later. Paul Shepherd earned the shutout. Surrey will be the visitors Saturday when they face ICSF Inter. Pegasus collected four points last week, ripping Westside FC 6-2 Friday night, three days after playing to a scoreless tie with the Coquitlam MetroFord Wolves. Their record of 4-3-1 leads them four points back of West Van FC with a

game in hand. Andy Singh had the shutout for Pegasus against Coquitlam, then four goals from Sahil Sandhu in the victory over Westside. Carlos Dhaliwal and Azad Palani also scored in the win. Sandhu’s output left him tied with United’s Burke for the league scoring lead, each with seven goals. Pegasus visits the Richmond Hibernians next Tuesday night. The Delta United Hurricanes played to a 1-1 tie with first place West Van FC, leaving them in the middle of the pack with a 3-2-3

Let’s Make Cancer History.

Seaquam clinches top spot in Southern conference by Rick Kupchuk FACED WITH A situation of

finishing first or worst, the Seaquam Seahawks convincingly claimed top spot in B.C. high school football’s Southern Conference. The Seahawks upended the Langley Saints 40-8 last Saturday afternoon at Seaquam Secondary, finishing tied atop the Southern Conference with the Holy Cross Crusaders and Hugh Boyd Trojans, all with 2-1 (won-lost) records.

Seaquam won the head-tohead tiebreaker, and will be seeded first for next weekend’s Senior AA provincial playoffs. A loss would have left them in last place in the four-team group. Mark Lego rushed for 106 yards and three touchdowns, with Gabriel Pamintuan running for two. Quarterback Adam Dobie competed six of 11 pass attempts, one to Tyler Green for a major score, and the other five to Shawn Partington for a total of 116 yards.

Green was the defensive leader, making two interceptions and four tackles. Partington and Christopher Hoegler also had four tackles each, with linemen Hoegler, Cam Laidlaw, Martin Minkov, Tyler Massicotte, Matthew Mahy, and Nolan Spalek playing well on both sides of the ball. Seaquam will kick-off against the Rick Hansen Hurricanes at 7:30 p.m. Saturday evening in B.C. Place in the opening round of the 16-team playoff. Holy Cross will play Friday

in Nanaimo against the Ballenas Whalers, who are the runner-up team in the Western Conference with a 3-1 record. In Senior AAA play, the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers fell 38-28 to the St. Thomas More Knights in Burnaby last Friday, and finished fourth in the Eastern Conference with a 2-3 record. The Panthers face the Salmon Arm Golds at 5 p.m. Friday in B.C. Place. The Golds were second in the Okanagan Conference at 4-2.

‘There are no bad views’

Celadon an impressive sight in Coquitlam by Kerry Vital

The community of Windsor Gate in Coquitlam will soon welcome its newest addition, Celadon by Polygon Homes. The 27-storey tower is just minutes from Coquitlam Centre, and will feature exterior details such as custom metal grillwork and brick cladding. The architecture is inspired by the distinctive style of Frank Lloyd Wright, with sleek expanses of glass and an over-height lobby that will feature a beautiful stained glass panel that is currently on display in the presentation centre. Surrounded by the early phases of the community, you won’t have to go far to find everything you could possibly need. Past developments at Windsor Gate include Larkin House, Roycroft and Kensal Walk. “You get all the benefits of a masterplanned community,” says Polygon Vice-President of Marketing Goldie Alam. “It’s really feeling special here right now.” One of the most exciting things about Celadon is the huge amount of natural light that every suite will feature. It’s apparent from the show suite that the large windows and airy floorplans are tailor-made to harness every drop of sunlight, even in the sometimes-rainy Lower Mainland. Homeowners will never get tired of what is outside their window. “There are no bad views,” Alam says. You’ll be able to savour that view on your own private deck, standard in every home. The space is perfect for a morning cup of coffee or a relaxing afternoon with a good book. The high-quality finishings that

It’s a quiet little enclave. I don’t think you can get the value anywhere else,” says Polygon Vice-President of Marketing Goldie Alam.

Polyon is known for are sprinkled everywhere. From the natural imported marble countertops and backsplashes in the bathrooms to the sleek undercabinet lighting in the kitchens, no detail has been overlooked. Impressive gourmet kitchens include smooth stone countertops, flat-panel custom cabinetry and large-format porcelain tile flooring. Stainless-steel appliances are standard in every home, and a full-height glass tile backsplash contributes to the feeling of modern elegance. Plush nylon carpeting is featured throughout the living areas, which perfectly fits with whichever one of

the three available colour schemes you choose. The ceilings are over eight feet tall (eight feet in the kitchen), meaning you’ll never feel cramped or squashed in any room. Your ensuite bathroom is made for luxury, with a soaker tub standard in every home and oversized vanity mirrors lit by recessed lighting. The cabinets are built to appear to float above the floor, and are complemented by polished chrome hardware. Even the doors are spectacular, with sliding or swinging patio doors onto the balcony and a contemporary solid wood entrance door that is outfitted with polished chrome hardware. More than 40 of the 187 twobedroom homes were sold over the opening weekend, and since then the number has reached over 70. Suites range from approximately 758 to 1,002 square feet. Residents at Celadon will have access to a meeting room, lounge and a fitness studio, as well as Windsor Gate’s amenities building, the Nakoma Club. This 18,000-square-foot building holds a gym, screening room and an outdoor pool, as well as a meeting room and a basketball court. At Windsor Gate, you are just minutes from all types of amenities, including shopping, schools, transit and restaurants, so you won’t need to

venture far outside of the community. Owners will receive a year’s worth of one-zone transit passes when they purchase their home. Homes at Celadon start at $324,900. For more information visit www.polyhomes. com/community/celadon–apartments– coquitlam or call 604-552-7744.

MUNICIPAL OTE NOVEMBER19

SURREY: Candidates for city council Kuldip Ardawa (SCC) Occupation: (Not provided) Key issues: 1. Affordable transportation 2. Poverty and homelessness 3. Public safety As an elected councillor with the Surrey Civic Coalition team, I will positively advocate for better and affordable transportation. I will investigate and implement real solutions to our transit problems. Poverty and homelessness are important issues. The living wage strategy and prevention programs need to be supported. Nobody should be without stable accommodation. Public safety is paramount. Crime and vandalism are increasing. Neighbourhoods need to be involved. A safe environment is the strong foundation for any developing and sustainable community.

To help citizens make an informed choice at the polls during the civic election on Saturday, Nov. 19, The Leader asked all candidates – for mayor, city council and school board – to provide their name, occupation, top three issues in order of importance and 100 words briefly describing their platform and plans if elected. Here are their responses:

Paul Griffin Occupation: Business owner Key issues: 1. Rapid transit – Surrey deserves SkyTrain 2. Tax windfall profits of re-zoning speculators 3. A truly independent voice on council Surrey’s truly independent candidate is not beholden to big unions or big developers. I believe Surrey can do better. We must manage growth more carefully, while protecting our natural environment. I am former president of the Sunnyside Acres Heritage Society and developed the motto “Surrey – City of Parks.” As B.C’.s second-largest city, Surrey must take the lead in developing creative solutions. Let’s get rid of the fancy brochures and political platitudes, roll up our sleeves and make Surrey better.

Bob Bose (SCC)* Occupation: City councillor/scientist Key issues: 1. Electoral reform 2. Protecting the environment 3. Transportation I want to: Greatly expand our park system including natural and ecologically sensitive lands; restore our roads to good condition and expand our program of traffic calming neighbourhoods; expand our bus system and introduce rapid bus and light rail; reinstate rail passenger service from Langley to Cloverdale and Newton along the existing corridor; work to relocate the BNSF heavy rail from our beaches and inland to accommodate high-speed rail between Surrey and Seattle; manage growth in a way that our schools, hospital and other essential services are not overwhelmed; and reform local city government. The existing first past the post at-large system no longer meets our needs.

Rina Gill (SCC) Occupation: Small business owner Key issues: 1. Public consultation when city is making key decisions 2. Educating the community on benefits of a (mixed) wards system 3. Addressing basement suites, mega houses and illegal construction I am a small business owner who is active in the community through volunteer work. I launched the Indo Canada Chamber of Commerce (ICCC) – Vancouver Business Council and became the national director of B.C. Operations. My volunteer efforts with ICCC have allowed me to work closely with the business community. I have also been involved with the YWCA Single Mothers Housing Committee, Vancouver Multicultural Society, Surrey Urban Farmers Market and the Newton Advocacy Group Society.

Bruce Hayne (SF) Occupation: Principal, thornleyHAYNE Creative Communications Key Issues: 1. Reducing crime 2. Jobs and new investment 3. Homelessness A Surrey resident since 1993, I attended Ryerson Politechnic University College. Creating new jobs, ensuring our streets are safe and building community facilities for families are key to a livable community. Community involvement includes: director, B.C. Summer Games Organizing Committee, the Mayor’s Red Tape Reduction Committee, director, Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation, past president of the Surrey Board of Trade, and past chair of the Surrey Methamphetamine Regional Task Force. I live in Cloverdale with my wife Joyce and two kids.

Tom Gill (SF)* Occupation: Controller Key Issues: 1. Reducing crime 2. Jobs and new investment 3. Homelessness Born in Kamloops, I moved to Surrey in 1986. In 1988, I graduated from BCIT with a Financial Management Diploma, and later became a Certified Management Accountant. I am the controller of Coast Foundation Society, the largest non-profit mental health agency in B.C. First elected in 2005, I chair Surrey’s Finance and Audit committees. I have worked hard to keep Surrey’s property and business taxes the lowest in the region and ensure tax dollars are used wisely. My wife Pav and I are raising three children in Fraser Heights.

Linda Hepner (SF)* Occupation: Councillor Key Issues: 1. Reducing crime 2. Jobs and new investment 3. Expanded public transit I moved to Surrey in 1983 and worked for the City of Surrey, retiring as Manager of Economic Development prior to election to council in 2005. As chair of the Mayor’s Committee on Investment and Job Creation and the Red Tape Reduction Committee, I believe cities are important job generators, and strong communities provide good economic opportunities for their residents. I am a supporter of our Build Surrey Program, which includes an iconic new library and new city hall and important infrastructure projects in every town centre. Married to Alan, we have three sons, and three grandchildren.

Gill 22 Occupation: Truck driver, janitor Key issues: 1. Ward system 2. Income not enemies 3. Love and respect Born in Fort St. John, raised in Surrey. Thanks to family, friends, co-workers, teachers, judges and all officers for all your help. Surrey sucks, we got nothing but shootings, stabbings, drugs, dirty hookers, one-eyed politicians, street racing, piracy, cheap labour, single moms and one hospital. We need a ward system, cheaper gas, more medical services, schools not jail cells, education, communication, love, respect, time for each other and our loved ones. Vote for your rights.We need help, thanks for your time.

Judy Higginbotham Occupation: Business consultant 1. Building complete, sustainable and well-planned communities 2. A fairer deal in all transportation systems for Surrey 3. Keeping taxes and utilities low and affordable As an independent councillor, I will listen to your concerns and ensure that you have a strong voice on council. We have many solutions to the challenges of rapid growth, such as diverse housing forms, and safer streets. We can always build smarter. We can lower your taxes. We can ensure that town centres are better planned with accessible and affordable transportation options. We have to be more aggressive in ensuring schools are built when children are there and we need more cultural opportunities for families and seniors in our town centres to balance our quality recreation centres and playing fields.

Lawrence Chen

Candidate did not provide requested photo or information

Doug Elford (SCC) Occupation: Environmental protection officer Key issues: 1. Protecting our parkland and environment 2. Improved transit links 3. Better neighbourhood participation in council decisions I entered politics because of the degradation of my neighbourhood. Current council is not listening. We need a system where residents are involved in decisions. Surrey needs to do a better job of planning neighbourhoods, preserving parkland and protecting our environment. If elected, I will work towards building a vibrant, involved, sustainable and safe city where all citizens have input into council decisions. My public sector background has prepared me for this role. I know the system.

MUNICIPAL OTE NOVEMBER19

Surrey council: 27 candidates in total Continued from page B5

Gary Hoffman Occupation: Special provincial constable Key issues: 1. Transportation, roads and transit 2. Responsible growth and infrastructure expansion 3. Crime prevention, public safety and policing I strongly believe Surrey can continue to economically grow and become a better place. In order to achieve this we need responsible growth that will also incorporate the expansion of our infrastructure, recreational and outdoor facilities and meet the needs of citizens and business alike. I recognize vital issues such as roads and transit need to be addressed, but I believe it is essential to maintain effective, efficient government without program cuts, unnecessary tax increases, or hidden fees. I believe in spending our tax dollars responsibly.

Imtiaz Popat Occupation: Counsellor Key issues: 1. Revitalize the south Fraser River banks for more community access and no trucking highway 2. More accessible and affordable transit 3. More recycling programs for both residents and businesses I am a co-op radio host and a social advocate. I haves studied media communications at the Art Institute and have a certificate in counselling skills from Vancouver Community College. I am advocating against the industrialization of Surrey by the development of the South Fraser Perimeter Road, which will damage communities and ecology along its path. I would like to see more accountability of businesses and industry around waste management to make Surrey more ecologically sustainable.

Mike Robinson Occupation: (Not provided) Key Issues: 1. Voter apathy 2. Kids’ activity infrastructure 3. Planning and development My platform can best be described as electoral reform. I feel that modern technology allows for a more modern, more participatory form of democracy. I propose to build a website where voters may vote on issues before council. They may vote on every issue, select issues that affect them, or none at all. Eventually, I would like if one seat at council was strictly the “people’s vote.” I propose to be that seat in the meantime. I will vote with the people regardless of my personal views. I will be a true “Proxy for the People.”

Marvin Hunt (SF)* Occupation: Councillor Key issues: 1. Reducing crime 2. Holding the line on taxes 3. Jobs and new investment A Surrey resident for 30 years, I have been a member of council since 1988. A vibrant downtown core emerging as part of the Build Surrey Program – this remarkable re-development will redefine Surrey, attract new investment and create an environment where businesses will thrive in our city. Given that no land has been removed from the ALR for development over the past six years shows that we have struck the right balance between growth and the preservation of farmland and green space. My wife Ruth and I raised six children in Newton and now live in Fleetwood.

Barinder Rasode (SF)* Occupation: Councillor Key Issues: 1. Expanded public transit 2. Reducing crime 3. Parks and recreation I grew up in Kamloops and have been a resident of Surrey for 23 years. Prior to being elected to council in 2008, I studied at SFU and worked for the Professional Employees Association. Since 80 per cent of the commuting trips that start south of the Fraser end south of the Fraser, I strongly support our transportation plan that calls for light rail as part of the public transit choices Surrey residents have as they move in and around our community. I live in Clayton where I am raising three children.

Stephanie Ryan (SCC) Occupation: Organizing representative Key issues: 1. Unacceptable transit service levels in Surrey 2. Getting more schools built for Surrey 3. Protecting our environment and green spaces as we grow I’ve lived in Surrey for 25 years. I have an honours degree from UBC. I work as an organizing representative for the BCGEU. I’ve served on the Public Art Advisory Committee since 2008. I volunteer with Big Sisters and Sunnyside Acres Heritage Society. I write a regular column on Surrey issues for The Georgia Straight. Surrey’s growth should respect our environment and make public transit more viable. We need to work together to build more schools and to get our share of transit dollars.

Bernadette Keenan Occupation: Plan reviewer Key issues: 1. Shifting infrastructure investments from pavement projects to green job initiatives and transit 2. Social justice issues, particularly a living wage and affordable housing 3. Waterfront enhancement in North Surrey A mother, Surrey resident, union member, and environmental activist, I am passionate about healthy communities both environmentally and economically. Let’s protect unique eco-systems such as salmon habitat from damage by construction of the South Fraser Perimeter Road and safeguard the health of our children, seniors and residents from increased pollution. Transfer funding from this pavement project to transit initiatives like Interurban rail for more jobs.

Grant Rice (SCC) Occupation: Student and consultant Key issues: 1. Accountability – We are taking on too much debt during volatile economic times 2. Transparency – Too many decisions are taking place behind closed doors 3. Accessibility – Citizens need better access to their elected officials Surrey needs a comprehensive municipal audit. When Surrey sold phase one of Campbell Heights in 2003 for 15 cents on a dollar, they passed a resolution at 10 a.m. on a Thursday before taking their summer break. The 2010 $97-million debt for city hall? Same time of year and same vote results. Tens of millions in land transfers at book value to the Surrey City Development Corporation? Passed by resolution. I plan to investigate.

Partap Bir Singh Occupation: Self-employed Key issues: 1. Accountability and clarity for citizens 2. Strong voice for common i.e. having fair share of services including health, education and transportation 3. Planning and fair representation for all residents of Surrey I am a common citizen of Surrey who has started from hard labour to working along international scientist. I felt that a common man’s voice was not heard in civic affairs and the democratic process was hijacked. I ran in 2008 and over 10,000 of you supported me. I promise you as I have done in last three years, I will keep your voice heard, loud and strong. Whatever it takes. I have been open to all possible means to make sure your voice is heard. Recent education funding proved that every citizen matters. Together We can do it!

Mary Martin (SF)* Occupation: Councillor Key Issues: 1. Reducing crime 2. Parks and recreation 3.Jobs and new investment I have lived in Surrey for 20 years with husband Tony and our three children. Since being elected in 2005, I worked for the new 94-bed sobering centre in Surrey to provide new beds for people with addictions. I am a strong supporter of our innovative Crime Reduction Strategy and, as chair of the Parks Recreation and Culture Committee, the new recreation facilities we are building in every part of Surrey.

Gary Robinson (SCC) Occupation: (Not provided) Key issues: 1. Open and accountable city council to the public 2. No tolls, no giant garbage incinerator 3. Have council work with school board to solve crushed and overcrowded schools. If elected I will be a strong voice for Surrey. I will fight for the little guy as I have always done. I have lived in Surrey for 46 years. I believe council should represent us, not rule us. I oppose tolled bridges, I support better planning and accountability at city hall. I will not support a garbage truck freeway to a giant regional garbage burner in Surrey. I will work hard for you, the residents and I will always let you know where I stand. I am honoured to ask for your support for myself and SCC.

Barbara Steele (SF)* Occupation: Councillor Key issues: 1. Safer streets 2. Preserving green space and farmland 3. Expanded public transit First elected in 1998, I chair the Public Safety Committee and I have been working hard for safer neighbourhoods across Surrey through the implementation of our innovative Crime Reduction Strategy. Since 2005, 1,254 grow-ops have been shut down and violent crime is down 20 per cent over the past three years. I am the president of the Union of B.C. Municipalities and I also chair the Focus on Seniors Committee, and serve on the Finance Committee, the Downtown Surrey BIA.

MUNICIPAL OTE

Surrey council: Continued from page B6 Susan Thomas Occupation: Business owner Key issues: 1. A $94-million city hall construction – why were citizens of Surrey not consulted? 2. Transportation – freedom to move, traffic congestion, road maintenance and mass transit dysfunctionality 3. Re-evaluate a ward system I am a 30-year resident, award winner and business owner in Surrey. I am a Surrey Board of Trade Board director and a community volunteer for homeless and crime prevention issues. My platform is simple: accountability, representation and livability. I support responsible government – minimizing waste and red tape while maximizing resources. My common sense and budget-minded approach make me the best candidate for city council. I believe we need a fresh face and someone that thinks outside the box. Judy Villeneuve (SF)* Occupation: Councillor Key Issues: 1. Homelessness 2. Preserving farmland and green space 3. Reducing crime I have been a Surrey resident for 41 years and husband Michael and I have two sons and two grandsons. A member of council for 23 years, I strongly supported the development of Surrey’s groundbreaking Sustainability Charter and Ecosystem Management Strategy as well as the innovative Crime Reduction Strategy. I am proud that Surrey was the first city in B.C. to establish a Homelessness and Housing Foundation with a $9-million endowment. I am vice-chair of Metro Vancouver’s Housing Committee and Surrey’s Public Art Committee. I was the Pacific Co-ordinator for the Writers’ Union of Canada for two decades. I live in Crescent Beach. John Milton Wolanski Occupation: (Not provided) Key issues: 1. Affordable housing. This must be first on the list. Designate mobile home parks as part of the initiative 2. Light rail serviced by fast bus connections 3. Prioritize education. An educated workforce is a productive one There’s a saying: “A good government takes care of its cities, a great government takes care of its people.” My belief is that a productive community is an inclusive one – one that stresses opportunities for all, not just for a few. I am a writer, a lifelong learner and a passionate advocate for social justice. If elected, 10 per cent of my gross compensation will be donated to the Surrey Food Bank. Steve Wood (SCC) Occupation: Independent consultant/ contract work Key issues: 1. Public transportation – advocate for light rail and more buses 2. Advocating for youth – more parks and recreation and sports programs 3. Improved local democracy and neighbourhood consultation I’m experienced, elected twice in Campbell River. My family and I moved here in 2000. I’ve volunteered and mentored children through Whalley Baseball, North Surrey Football and soccer. Youth represent 30 per cent of our population, they’re our future and deserve advocates. It’s not happening. We’re the fastest-growing city but without funding for school construction and too many portables. We need genuine leadership. I’m listening and offer commitment, determination and backbone to deliver results. Increased taxes, tolling bridges and failing transit are not acceptable. We can do better.

NOVEMBER19

The Leader asked all candidates to provide their name, occupation, top three issues in order of importance and 100 words briefly describing their platform and plans if elected. Here are their responses:

SCHOOL TRUSTEE:

Surrey candidates Terry Allen (SFE)* Occupation: President of CUPE 379 representing support staff for the Burnaby School District Key issues: 1. Securing new capital funding to build schools for students 2. Changing the Community Link funding formula 3. Supporting excellence in public education I was first elected to the Surrey Board of Education in 2002. I hope to be re-elected to be able to continue the progress we have made, putting the interests of parents and students ahead of all others. I currently serve as the chair of the school district`s budget committee and as the board representative on the Parks and Recreation Commission. I am active in the sports community, including soccer, baseball and basketball. I have coached girls’ softball for many years. Ijaz Chatha (SCC)* Occupation: Realtor Key issues: 1.Working with Victoria to secure capital funding for building new schools 2. Better liaison with council so schools are planned in new neighbourhoods 3. Getting Surrey’s fair share of special needs and Community Link funding If re-elected, I will continue challenging the provincial government for sufficient funding to meet the specific and diversified learning needs of students. The school district is in desperate need of more new schools. We need adequate ongoing funding for special needs students and increased Community Link funding. One of my daughters is special needs, giving me a greater understanding of the impact of cutbacks. Also, public consultation should be increased prior to decision making. I have lived in Surrey for 15 years with my wife and four children. Moh Chilali (SCC) Occupation: (Not provided) Key issues: 1. Work with community, parents and partners to ensure a long-term viable and sufficient funding for Surrey schools 2. Address the learning and teaching needs of the rich multi-ethnic diversity of Surrey. 3. Initiate a daycare program publicly funded for Surrey parents I have been a Surrey resident for 13 years, a parent of a son and a daughter who graduated from Semihamoo Secondary. I hold an engineering degree in oil economics, a masters of international business, a bachelor of education, a masters of education, and am finishing my doctorate in education. I worked for more than 20 years as an educator in B.C. and overseas. I held also the position of B.C. Ministry of Education Coordinator and organized training for B.C. teachers.

ote. Surrey’s your city.

Charlene Dobie (SCC) Occupation: Special education assistant 1. Capital funding/overcrowded schools 2. Communication with all community partners 3. Continued and fair funding for Surrey’s most vulnerable students An SCC team on Surrey Board of Education and council means Surrey will have a voice to lobby Victoria for muchneeded capital funding. I will bring that issue to the forefront at every opportunity. I will listen to and work with students, parents, teachers, support staff, administrators and other elected officials. Advisory committees for all partner groups and real question periods at board meetings are just two ways to improve dialogue. Adequate funding for Surrey’s most vulnerable students is crucial to our community. Sukhy Dhillon (SCC) Occupation: School teacher and education consultant Key issues: 1. Real schools – not portables 2. Improved two-way communication between parents and trustees 3. More assertive action to deal with bullying I am a parent of three children, a public school teacher and a parent presenter on issues such as bullying and how to support children’s learning at home. Our children deserve classrooms, not portables. We need clean washrooms and proper gymnasiums. Schools are a community asset; our playgrounds should not be locked up. I will be aggressive in securing capital funding for new schools. Children with special needs deserve equal access to all services. Communication between home and school is my priority. Pam Glass (SFE)* Occupation: Retired school teacher, citizenship judge Key issues: 1. Securing capital funding to build new schools 2. Changing the Community Link funding formula to the benefit of disadvantaged Surrey students 3. Encouraging greater parent involvement in student learning I am proud to have served on the Surrey Board of Education for the past 12 years. As a mother of four and a grandmother of nine, I have always had a passion for education. Being a parent prepared me for being a teacher. That experience and my time serving as an assistant to the premier and Members of Parliament prepared me for local government and the Surrey Board of Education. Laurence Greeff (SCC) Occupation: Teacher, Langley Secondary School Key issues: 1. $273 million to address school overcrowding and the elimination of 290 portables 2. Chronic under-funding of Surrey schools 3. Addressing the unfair sharing of Community Link funding I currently teach at Langley Secondary School. My daughter graduated from Earl Marriott Secondary School. I grew up in Cape Town, South Africa but am proud to call Surrey my home. I will challenge the privatization of schools and new experimental reforms that are designed to devalue educational services for the children in our schools. I will lobby intensively for $273 million to address overcrowding in Surrey schools. Our schools need to be fully funded to address the needs of our students. See SURREY TRUSTEES / Page B8

Surrey trustees Who should you vote for? Continued from page B7

Paul Hillsdon Occupation: Student Key issues: 1. School overcrowding and funding 2. Student engagement 3. Teacher autonomy My campaign is about building education for the future. There is a global education reform movement underway that we need to be a part of. We need to shift from an industrial, one-size-fits-all approach to a personalized learning system that meets the unique needs and interests of every student. Doing so is critical for the economic competitiveness and social well-being of our city and nation. I am committed to resolving our funding issues, and being a vocal and collaborative advocate for the next generation of public education. Malkiat Singh Kang Occupation: Retired school administrator Key issues 1. Increase learning goals 2. Being an advocate for all parents 3. Enriching environment and love for education for all children I am a graduate of University of Calgary, bachelor of education. My past experience includes teaching all grades in the Canadian public school system for over 30 years. Part of my experience includes being a school administrator (principal and vice-principal) for 10 years. Canada has been my home for over 50 years and I have been a Surrey resident for the last 20. I am married with five adult children who are teachers, lawyers, and a doctor. My vision is to use my experience as an educator, father, grandfather and proud resident of Surrey to contribute to our school system.

Researcher creates form to help citizens evaluate candidates by Kevin Mills

W

hen the public casts their ballots on Nov. 19, the choices made will shape the future of municipalities for the next three years. But how do voters know if they’re supporting the right candidates? It’s a dilemma researcher Sherril Guthrie is attempting to solve. Guthrie has created an evaluation guide for voters in her city – Abbotsford – which she hopes will allow people to make more informed choices. (Her guide can be applied to any municipality). “It’s a poorly kept secret that many voters base their decisions on criteria as flimsy as name recognition, likability, even appearance. Some voters routinely consider a candidate’s membership in a social group, church or organization as important,” she said. In order to create effective criteria for the role of mayor and councillor, Guthrie enlisted the help of 20 of Abbotsford’s community leaders. Participants were selected based on experience and knowledge of business, agriculture, education, social services, the environment, culture, the arts and politics. Each were given draft materials consisting of a list of 16 issues to rate, a

From their input, a one-page guide was created, allowing voters to rate candidates on each of the 10 job qualifications. The rating system goes from one to five (one meaning not qualified and five meaning qualified) for a total possible score of 50 points. The higher the score, the better the politician’s potential. The 10 categories are broken into three different groups – knowledge,

Laurie Larsen (SFE)* Occupation: President of CUPE Local 402, representing the City of Surrey workers Key issues: 1. Securing new capital funding to build schools for students 2. Changing the Community Link funding formula 3. Better resources for special education Over the past three years, the current board has been successful in putting the interest of students before any other consideration. Because of this, five members of the current board have decided to form the Surrey First Education electoral organization. We hope to be re-elected this fall so that we can continue to meet the challenges of the largest and fastest growing school district in B.C. I have lived in Surrey since 1957 and graduated at Queen Elizabeth Secondary. I raised four children.

our schools. As a school trustee candidate I am committed to working with parents, teachers, city council and Victoria to improve our schools, so that our children have the best environment for success. We need to start construction and fix the school crisis now. We need to adequately fund support staff, librarians, and counsellors. Also we will work together with city council to better plan neighbourhoods to prevent further overcrowding.

Reni Masi (SFE)* Occupation: Retired Surrey high school principal, MLA Key issues: 1. Securing new capital funding to build schools for students 2. Changing the Community Link funding formula 3. Supporting a new International Baccalaureate program for North Surrey The Surrey School District is the largest and fastestgrowing in B.C. Rapid growth brings problems of space and overcrowding. The board has continuously pressured Victoria to meet the capital (building) requirements of the district. My years of teaching and administration have offered me insights into the school system and my involvement in provincial politics has provided an understanding of the provincial perspective. I offer you a lifetime of public service and I’m here to help you and your children.

Anne Van Rhyn Occupation: Special education assistant, Surrey Key issues: 1. Increasing graduation rates 2. Expanding opportunities for diversified learning/choice 3. Aligning community services with schools, providing timely assessments B.C’.s education community is talking of technology in schools, increasing online and individualized learning. My goal is to ensure there is a voice for those who would “fall through the cracks” that the new system is indeed personalized and learner centred. I’ll advocate for community school partnerships, and accessible learning centres, to boost student success and graduation rates. I would support teacher innovation, arts and choice programs, as well as school “greening” initiatives. With energy and passion I am committed to being accessible.

Ram Sidhu (SCC) Occupation: Program manager Key issues: 1. Overcrowding in schools 2. City council and school board need to work together to better plan communities 3. Not enough support staff, librarians and counsellors As a mother of two young children I am concerned about the over-crowding in

skills, and personal strengths. In the knowledge portion, voters can rate candidates on how well they know the issues, the city (including history, diversity, trends, population growth, etc.) and legislation (community charter, municipal act, agricultural land reserve, etc.). “You can’t do the job unless you have that solid foundation of knowledge of the issues the community faces,” said Guthrie. The second section of the evaluation form features five topics focusing on skills, including communication, comprehension of finances, problem solving, diplomacy and organization. The final two evaluation points fall under the personal strengths category, including candidate qualities (honest, fair, trustworthy) and track record (related experience). Guthrie is hopeful that the public will find her project useful. It does require work on the part of each voter, but Guthrie feels it is worth it to avoid the potential consequences of having an unqualified individual in office.

Shawn Wilson (SFE)* Occupation: Retired small business owner Key issues: 1. Securing new capital funding to build schools 2. Changing the Community Link funding formula 3. Improving success for aboriginal students I was elected as a school trustee in 1999. I was first voted board chair in 2001 and have been chosen as the chair or vicechair for nine of the past 12 years, including four consecutive years as chair from 2004 through 2007. As school trustee, I especially enjoy visiting schools and reading books to young students and speaking about local government. I am honoured to have served parents and students in Surrey for 12 years.

The Leader asked all candidates to provide their name, occupation, top three issues in order of importance and 100 words briefly describing their platform and plans if elected. Here are their responses:

NOVEMBER19

Vikram Bajwa Occupation: Realtor/mortgage consultant, senior administrator Key issues: 1. Appoint municipal auditor general in Surrey 2. Vancouver model like local Surrey police 3. Involve local taxpayers in all projects over $10 million: Transparency. Surrey is ready for a change. Forty-six per cent are looking for a new mayor to involve them to solve the major issues of development, jobs, economy, crime and balancing multiculuralism, towards the positive energy to make Surrey the global city it yearns for. Surrey’s image has been tarnished with the last economic summit, in regards to accountability, compassion and direction. If elected I will adhere by the bylaws and provide transparency for all departments.

Ross Buchanan Occupation: Business and leadership consultant Key issues: 1. Out-of-control spending 2. City hall has disrespected the citizens of Surrey 3. The control and ownership of this mayor and council by big money corporate dollars If the citizens of Surrey choose to honour me with the opportunity to serve them I would immediately stop construction of the new city hall and review whether or not now is the best time to be making an investment that is dragging the city into serious debt. The second thing I would do is roll up my sleeves and start fighting to ensure that we receive “our fair share”. Our fair share of education dollars, our fair share of transportation dollars and our fair share of health dollars. See SURREY / Page 30

MUNICIPAL OTE NOVEMBER19

Surrey: Seven vying for mayor’s seat From page 29 Touraj Ghanbar-zadeh Occupation: Business owner Key issues: 1. Raising gas and property taxes in addition to tolls on bridges will have a significant negative effect on Surrey’s economy 2. There is a lack of leadership, public consultation and accountability on council 3. Over-crowding of public schools If elected I will: Cancel the new gas tax. Consult school officials, public and all level of governments to deal with over-crowding of schools immediately. Negotiate with various levels of governments to bring SkyTrain to Surrey. Extra buses and light trains are not the solution. The current Translink funding is not sustainable. A new formula needs to be considered. I advocate for the use of a single fare for using public transit. The current three-zone fare system is unfair and discriminatory. The three-zone plan penalizes Surrey residents.

Clifford Inimgba Occupation: Business college professor, community leader, entrepreneur and management consultant Key issues: 1. Safety 2. Unemployment 3. The neglect of visible minorities As your mayor, I will bring integrity, honesty, and accountability to council. Make Surrey the safest city in Canada. Create jobs. Freeze tax increases. Shelter the homeless. Improve care services for the disabled, seniors, children, youths and women. Basement suites will remain grandfathered. Involve religious/community leaders in council. End racial profiling and racism. Improve transit system. Preserve farmland and parks. Develop environmental preservation strategies.

Sudarshan (Shan) Rana Occupation: Activist Key issues: 1. Surrey is not a village anymore. Let there be a ward system 2. Surrey is big enough to have 10 councillors now 3. Surrey’s bad governance means illegal suites Bring in a ward system and watch illegal suites. MPs and MLAs are elected out of wards, why not city councillors? Present at-large electoral system serves a few. British Columbia is the only Canadian province holding on to it, unlike rest of Canada. B.C. government in 1995 gave a mixed electoral system to District of Lake Country but rest of B.C. municipalities still vote at-large. I would like to see 10 ward councillors sharing the current salary budget.

Dianne Watts (SF)* Occupation: Mayor Key Issues: 1. Reducing crime 2. Jobs and new investment 3. Expanded public transit First elected mayor in 2005, I have worked to create jobs, re-define our downtown and enhance our town centres through our new Build Surrey Program. We have also adopted a Sustainability Charter and have not removed land from the ALR for residential, commercial or industrial development. Our innovative Crime Reduction Strategy is working and I am proud that Surrey was the first city in B.C. to establish a Housing and Homelessness Foundation. I also believe we need light rail in Surrey to meet our public transit needs. My husband Brian and I are raising our two daughters in South Surrey. Deanna Welters Occupation: Non-medical senior home care provider/small business owner Key issues: 1. Improve public transit, initiate green infrastructure 2. Develop sustainable growth initiatives in our six official communities, curbing urban sprawl 3. Protect nature spaces and create pedestrian/cycle pathway along the Fraser River shoreline I feel it is imperative, as Surrey grows, that we commit to building green infrastructure into our communities. The results of well-functioning, live, work and recreate practices in our city will provide healthy communities. Caring for our nature spaces and recognizing the wealth in maintaining the bio-diversity of such areas as the Fraser River shoreline and Surrey Bend is about providing security for future generations.

MUNICIPAL OTE NOVEMBER19

DELTA: Candidates for city council Sylvia Bishop Occupation: Retired elementary school teacher Key issues: 1. Pressure to develop the Southlands 2. Traffic congestion coupled with lack of adequate public transportation options 3. Maintaining heritage character of proposed Ladner Waterfront redevelopment As your councillor I will fight every day to preserve the quality of life we cherish by protecting farmland and Burns Bog from development. I will work to make Delta even better by supporting responsible development that actually strengthens our community. I support a three-year freeze on mayor and council salaries. Question period before council meetings should again be televised. I would work toward a municipal Hansard that would record meeting discussions and voting records for public information.

To help citizens make an informed choice at the polls during the civic election on Saturday, Nov. 19, The Leader asked all candidates – for mayor, city council and school board – to provide their name, occupation, top three issues in order of importance and 100 words briefly describing their platform and plans if elected. Here are their responses:

Ranjit Heer (RDEO) Occupation: Business owner Key issues: 1. Revitalization of all three Delta communities through neighbourhood planning and development initiatives 2. Attracting young families and retaining our retiring population 3. Encouraging business growth while maintaining a “village” feel We must reverse the trend of population decline in Delta and increase the tax base by attracting new residents. If elected, I will work to: Introduce neighbourhood-based planning practices to increase citizen engagement; introduce new practices to facilitate enterprise development and streamline administration; explore new affordable housing options; promote sustainable agricultural development; celebrate the diversity of our community; and alleviate the commuter traffic burden.

Neil Corbett Occupation: Retired from telecommunications industry 1. Sustainable growth that will allow our community to thrive and prosper 2. An open, transparent and collaborative form of municipal government 3. Preservation of ALR lands from development such as the Free Trade Zone A proven community leader with an open style and vision for change, I believe smart growth is paramount to a viable future for Delta. While keeping the character of our current communities intact, creating new townhouses and more affordable homes on subdivided properties, and purchasable secondary suites, are a few possibilities for attracting new families to Delta. It also benefits single parents and our retiring population needing to downsize. This growth will keep schools open, allow business to prosper and help create local jobs.

Jeannie Kanakos Occupation: Negotiator/facilitator, Kanakos & Associates Key issues: 1. Sustainability of our communities, our businesses/farmers and environment 2. Fiscal management – keeping taxes low by seeking more federal and provincial funding for projects 3. Safety, sport and recreation I am committed to Delta being a sustainable, fiscally prudent and vibrant community. I will listen and work with you to build solutions based on our strengths and which tap into our potential. As a Delta councillor from 2005-2008, I did my homework and led several council committees and numerous community initiatives. I have a track record of serving in a respectful, constructive, non-partisan manner. Married to Nick Kanakos, we have four grown children.

Robert Campbell (DIVA)* Occupation: Lawyer Key issues: 1. Fiscal accountability 2. Maintenance and improvement of recreational facilities 3. Keeping taxes low Delta is blessed with some of the finest facilities and parks in Metro. I will ensure that our resources are used effectively to keep Delta’s park, recreation and culture infrastructure current. I want to have a community with a diverse range of activities and opportunities for all residents. We are continually upgrading our facilities; having invested close to $30 million dollars over the past 10 years. We are completing a renovation of the South Delta Recreation Centre, moving forward with a new all-weather turf field in Ladner and a renovation of the North Delta Recreation Centre. All Delta’s initiatives will continue to be funded without any borrowing.

Garth Cuthbert (RDEO) Occupation: Retired Key issues 1. Leadership and governance – a new council must operate with greater transparency and independence 2. Taxes are increasing greater than the rate of inflation. This is not sustainable. 3. Delta’s declining population I commit to: Bring a fresh leadership outlook for Delta with commitment to moderate sustainable growth by introducing neighbourhood-based planning practices and creating other opportunities for the community. Keeping tax increases below the rate of inflation. Strengthening policies to preserve Delta’s agriculture lands and encourage active farming. Lessening the impact of commuting traffic through Delta. Building cooperative relationships with neighbouring municipalities including Tsawwassen First Nations.

Bruce McDonald* Occupation: Retired air traffic controller Key issues: 1.Traffic issues in all three communities 2. Finance – tax rate, service levels and debt elimination 3. Community planning – North Delta, Ladner waterfront, agriculture, and coordination with Tsawwassen First Nation Leadership, fairness, impartiality and my long experience in Delta are what I bring to the table. A resident since 1968, I have served on council for 18 years. I have tried to make a great place better. I have chaired, or served on, every municipal committee or commission. We have kept costs down while providing sound infrastructure development and maintenance. I am proud to have helped bring Delta’s debt to the brink of elimination while providing much improved parks and public facilities as well as public safety services.

Andrew B. Conley Occupation: Deckhand, BC Ferries Key issues: 1. Southlands development 2. Fortifying the commercial areas of North Delta 3. Environmental concerns with Deltaport expansion, SFPR, encroachment on farmlands, and other areas where environmental practices could be improved Delta is a proud community that has always had the interests of the environment near the top of its priorities. It seems our leadership has been moving away from this priority, or forced to abandon these concerns all together. It is vital we return to making sustainability a top priority, and to do so in a manner that will enhance our local economy and create vibrant and healthy communities throughout all of Delta.

Scott Hamilton (DIVA)* Occupation: Computer network designer Key issues: 1. Traffic and congestion 2. Parks and recreational opportunites for kids of all ages 3. Financially responsible and accountable government. Traffic continues to plague Delta and the Lower Mainland. This is a key quality-of-life indicator. The less time one spends in traffic the more time available to spend with your kids and family. As our population grows, this will continue to be of concern and something that needs a firm hand to find solutions. We have successfully leveraged more than $40 million from senior governments to repair and expand our infrastructure. I will continue to work to get additional concessions for Delta. There’s only one taxpayer, and we must treat that money with respect and diligence.

Fabian Milat Occupation: Nine-year school trustee 1. Property Taxes – ensuring taxes do not rise faster than the rate of inflation 2. Lower administration costs – reducing bureaucracy and put money back into services 3. Seniors’ housing – encouraging small square footage units close to amenities. I will work for low property taxes that will not rise faster than the rate of inflation. Wages are not increasing and many people are on fixed incomes. We cannot overburden taxpayers. We need to reduce bureaucracy and lower administration costs to save money for Delta residents. I am committed to seniors’ housing by encouraging the creation of smaller square footage residences near amenities and public transit. In addition, Delta’s aging population would be greatly served by having a municipal staff person who is dedicated to seniors’ issues.

32 Surrey/North Delta Leader Thursday, November 10, 2011

MUNICIPAL OTE NOVEMBER19

The Leader asked all candidates to provide their name, occupation, top three issues in order of importance and 100 words briefly describing their platform and plans if elected. Here are their responses: Carroll Allan Occupation: Retired/volunteer Key issues: 1. Improve the existing manner of funding education in B.C. 2. Enrolment and finding other solutions than closing schools or dismissing teachers/support staff to solve problems that accompany declining enrolment 3. Classroom composition and developing collaboration with teachers and parents to make the classroom an equal opportunity experience Facing difficult times with growing budgets, insufficient funding and declining enrolment, as well as making sure our children’s teachers are equipped with the proper tools, Delta Board of Education needs a fresh new start. We need team players who have new ideas, solutions and energy. I have extensive experience with budgeting in difficult times, teamwork and leadership. I will work full-time at this position. Andy Basi Occupation: Executive Lead, Practice Support Program, BCMA 1. Declining enrolments 2. Ongoing fiscal challenges 3. To be a leading district for innovative teaching and learner success. My strengths lie in the combination of my professional experience within complex organizational structures, academic background, and personal commitment to the people of Delta. Experienced dealing directly with people in many different situations, my background will benefit me in listening to the public, in lobbying for school funding, in consulting with our teaching faculty and in debating issues with other representatives on the Delta Board of Education. My aim is to represent all stakeholders in the Delta School District and to make good decisions that will benefit us all.

* Denotes incumbent REAL – Responsible Education and Academic Leadership

SCHOOL TRUSTEE:

Delta candidates Carleen Bazowsky Occupation: Stylist and salon owner Key issues: 1. Declining enrolment 2. Funding formula 3. Safety in schools I bring to the table an independent, grassroots mentality, being first and foremost a concerned parent who sees huge challenges in our school system, we need to stop “talking” about what is wrong and start finding viable solutions to funding and enrolment struggles that are realistic and attainable for our school district. My first responsibility as a school trustee, if elected, will be to ensure trustees attend PAC meetings around the district on a regular and consistent basis. Trustees need to communicate with parents and connect with the youth to ensure they are part of the decision making process that directly effects them.

Brenda Bennett-Schneider (REAL)* Occupation: Mom and school board trustee 1. Funding 2. Declining enrolment 3. Ceasing the teacher job action If re-elected I would like to continue to work with all partner groups in Delta. Currently the board has a very good working relationship with senior staff and with the B.C. Ministry of Education. Education in Delta is excellent. We need to continue and improve in all areas.

Donna Burke Occupation: Volunteer coordinator with Boys and Girls Clubs of South Coast B.C. Key issues: 1. Minimizing the impact of funding shortfalls when education funding is based on enrolment numbers 2. Rolling out a new innovative education system that is responsive to our rapidly changing world 3. Supporting students with diverse learning needs If elected I will draw upon the insights, knowledge and understanding I gained when I served as district PAC chair (2006-2010) to carry out the work of the board. This experience and the relationships I made in the district and provincially will enable me to be an affective advocate for high-quality, relevant, education for all learners. I am approachable, collaborative and energetic. I will work to ensure the board consults with our stakeholders.

See DELTA TRUSTEES / Page 33

Delta council: There are 13 candidates in total From page 31

Ian Paton (DIVA)* Occupation: Farmer and auctioneer Key issues: 1. Ladner harbour dredging and revitalization 2. Viability of farming 3. Traffic and congestion Since being elected in the byelection last year, I have wanted to ensure that Delta’s farming community is not forgotten. My family has been here for several generations, and farmland will always be at risk. I want to keep the village feel to Ladner and Tsawassen by ensuring that big box stores stay in Richmond and Surrey. I want to continue to look for federal funding for dredging of the Ladner harbour. As we continue to be squeezed by surrounding developments and infrastructure changes, we must be vigilant in taking a stand in favour of preserving agricultural lands for viable farming.

* Denotes incumbent DIVA – Delta Independent Voters Association RDEO – Renew Delta Electoral Organization

Anne Peterson* Occupation: Consultant Key issues: 1. Communications and community engagement 2. Strategies to encourage brown field/ grey field redevelopment 3. Protecting green spaces I believe the key to developing rich public policies is effective communication strategies that engage neighbourhoods, community organizations and service providers who have “on the ground” knowledge of what the city needs to pay attention to. We need to create brown/grey field redevelopment strategies to encourage walkable, transit-friendly neighbourhoods within reach of existing businesses and services. And by focusing our attention towards revitalizing tired, rundown areas, we alleviate some of the pressure on our green spaces already severely challenged by provincial and federal projects.

Thursday, November 10, 2011 Surrey/North Delta Leader 33

Laura Dixon* Occupation: Parent, volunteer, trustee Key issues: 1. Continuing excellence in education for Delta students. 2. Advocating for public education and a funding formula that meets our needs. 3. Fiscal responsibility to benefit both students and the taxpayer. Trustees have a tremendous responsibility to be strong advocates for our students. I have been working to address policy and funding issues and supporting the amazing work that goes on in Delta schools. I have demonstrated my commitment by being involved far beyond the boardroom. When I am in the schools talking with students, staff and parents or out in the community I become a better representative for your voice. I commit to continue to be your school board representative that puts the best interests of the students at the heart of all that we do. Pat Dyer Occupation: Teacher Key issues: 1. Provincial policy regarding education. To say any more would merely be commentary Until real solutions are offered to B.C. families by our senior governments, I don’t know what impact a lone school trustee will be able to make. For my part I will be happy to explain to any of the powers that be that collecting more money in tuition fees than corporate taxes is not a bragging point but is in fact shameful. I would also promote the idea that the corporatist education agenda of the B.C. Liberals is great for creating widgets, but forgets the great enterprise of creating literate, learned citizens.

NOVEMBER19

Delta trustees: 20 candidates From page 32 Carol Johnson Occupation: Hearing resource educational assistant Key issues: 1. Create a positive and cooperative relationship with families, students, educators, support staff, and administrators 2. Ensure appropriate funding for special education and specialist teachers 3. Diverse and innovative instruction I want Delta public schools to be first choice amongst families. My career experiences include working as a police officer, working with Delta School District supporting students with special needs, and currently for Richmond School District Hearing Resource Department serving students with hearing impairments. I have coached basketball and been PAC chair at Cliff Drive Elementary. I am also a board member for WINGS, which provides transition homes for women escaping domestic violence.

Nick Kanakos (REAL) Occuaption: Retired Delta teacher Key issues: 1. Ensure our schools are safe, caring and nurturing environments 2. Develop a comprehensive plan to increase provincial educational funding. 3. Decrease class size and improve support for special needs students. My professional life has been devoted to providing quality education in Delta. Having four children who attended Delta schools, I understand the issues. My teaching responsibilities included: computer coordinator, provincial examination and scholarship committees, department head, athletic director, and head football coach. I have experience working with students, teachers, parents, and district administration. I have experience working with students, teachers, parents, and district administration. Sue Lloyd Occupation: Education technology consultant Key issues: 1. Finding innovative ways to administer education to maintain the diversity of learning that today’s students require 2. Manage roles and responsibilities of educators so they can focus on teaching 3. Empower teachers to have more input on their own professional development I understands how important technology is in your child’s education. The decisions made today will have a great impact on their future. As a former ballerina, physiotherapist, software support expert and environmental educator, I can help make critical decisions to support educators and students.

Delta Board of Education: From page 33

Andrew Maas Occuaption: Area director, Atlific Hotels Key issues: 1. School funding Photo not 2. Listening to the people in the comprovided munity and being their voice 3. Balanced budget An active father with two children in the Delta school system, I am passionate about making a difference in the community and within the Delta School District. Education is an extremely important to me and is why I have decided to run in the election. I am a normal guy who lives in your community who cares and wants to make a difference. I might not have all the answers but I will work very hard to try to find a solution to the problem. If elected I plan on doing what is right for our kids and community.

Michael Patrick Macumber

Candidate did not provide requested photo or information

Fabian Milat* Occupation: School trustee Key issues: 1. Administration costs – continuing the reduction of administration 2. Special needs students – advocating for increased provincial funding 3. Elimination of fees – reviewing all fees charged to students and parents Our school district has the fourthlowest administration costs in B.C. and I will continue to push for financial accountability. We need to lobby Victoria for funding for students with special needs. The current funding shortage burdens the whole system. As a trustee, I declined many political frills such as “retreats,” catering, and using any hotel rooms in Vancouver for conferences. I have maintained a minimal expense account because I value taxpayer dollars. The district and council need to work together for solutions and efficiency in shared services and capital projects.

Dale Saip (REAL)* Occupation: Vice-president, business development, WHL Vancouver Giants Key issues: 1. Continued advocacy for appropriate funding for a changing system 2. Strong leadership in challenging times and declining enrolment 3. Student engagement and vision for the future of our District The Delta School District has a long and distinguished history of academic excellence. We have a tradition of good sound management practices which includes good governance and solid leadership. I will, along with my fellow REAL candidates, continue to demonstrate leadership by finding solutions to challenges in a respectful, constructive way, seeking consensus rather than divisiveness. Julie Sanders Occupation: Customer service Key issues: 1. Provincial funding for education 2. Cuts to special needs programs 3. Classroom composition – number and composition of students I strongly believe that education is under-funded by the provincial government. All districts in B.C. need to address this issue in order for education to move forward. As PAC Chair at Delta Manor Elementary during our school closure, I saw a need for change in the school board. I am an advocate for our students and will fight to enrich the learning process for our children and put their education above all else. It will be my mission as trustee to establish a working liaison between families, teachers and the district to create an environment that will benefit everyone. Janet Schauntz* Occupation: Retired Key issues: 1.Under-funding of public education 2. Declining enrolment 3. Student engagement One of the most important things that can happen in a classroom is the vital connection between student and teacher. The teacher acts as a facilitator and guides the learner through the information to develop a deeper understanding of the material fostering a curiosity to learn more. It’s all about engaging the students mind, whether through text or technology, by making the material relevant to what is happening today. To add to the depth of excellence already occurring in our schools I would like to see the introduction of an International Baccalaureate Program at the elementary level.

The organization on Monday released a list of 86 council candidates across B.C. who have signed its “contract with taxpayers� with less than two weeks left in the campaign. Most are challengers, often right-of-centre independents or slate members. Three signed in Surrey – two mayoral candidates hoping to topple sitting Mayor Dianne Watts and one independent council candidate. The CTF “contract� requires those signing to pass a bylaw imposing a 15 per cent council pay cut if property taxes are raised beyond the rate of inflation without a referendum. Watts previously said she might sign the contract – if it was revised to reflect how senior government downloading hits city budgets.

From page 35

Simon Truelove (REAL)* Occupation: Teacher and school trustee Key issues: 1. Adequate funding 2. Education that meets the students’ requirements to succeed in a rapidly changing world 3. Safety and caring I feel very proud of our board’s record: Excellent academic results, high graduation rate and prudent financial management under significant funding challenges. REAL trustees will listen to the variety of perspectives in our diverse community. As Delta’s BCSTA Provincial Council representative, l worked with trustees from across B.C. to address the minister with a united voice. Students do require better funding, but we are doing well with what we have. Let’s build on that success.

Val Windsor Occupation: Retired teacher Key issues: 1. Lack of government funding and the need for a revised funding formula 2. Declining enrolment 3. Support for students Delta trustees need to be more vocal advocates for students in pressuring government to increase funding and to implement a new funding formula that reflects the true cost of educating students. I will advocate for students with special needs, including those “grey� area students who do not receive specific funding. I will work to ensure parents’ voices are heard and to enhance community support for Delta schools. I bring 40 years of education experience to the Delta Board of Education.

didate has come under fire for posting “re-elect� on her signs when she’s not a sitting member of council. “Real incumbents have a huge advantage over other seeking seats on council...� Delta resident Scott Kerr said in an email to Jeannie Kanakos. “You are obviously doing this to manipulate the electorate.� Kanakos responded she was a member of council between 2005 and 2008, and she was asking people to re-elect her to that post. The term “re-elect� on campaign signs is usually reserved for incumbents, however the rules regarding municipal elections in B.C. are silent on when the term can be used.

Krista Engelland (ODCA) Occupation: Small business owner Key issues: 1. Preserving our quality of life from the impact of provincial projects 2. Southlands – protecting agricultural land 3. Transportation – traffic congestion and lack of transit In my 15 years experience on (Delta) council I have built positive relationships in the community. I have developed a good working knowledge of what it takes to get things done. Having lived in all three communities of Delta, I bring an awareness of the unique characteristics of each community and the issues that are important to them. As your mayor, I will protect our quality of life, the environment and farmland. I will adhere to community plans, address housing for seniors and young families and update bylaws. Lois Jackson (DIVA)* Occupation: Mayor Key issues: 1. Keeping taxes low 2. Maintaining a safe and secure community 3. Preserving Delta’s farm heritage Delta continues to be the envy of the Lower Mainland. By ensuring a firm control over our city’s finances, we are now poised to pay off all the debt that previous administrations left behind. We will continue to lead by example – no new borrowing for special political projects. Keeping taxes low is the cornerstone of my commitment to voters. We must also keep the streets safe for seniors and youth, and never forget that farming is the heart and soul of this community. We will continue to provide strong, stable, consistent and fiscally responsible government in Delta.

From page 38

Heather King Occupation: Delta Councillor Key issues: 1. Safer roads and intersections 2. A greater variety of housing choices for all generations, especially seniors 3. More transparency, collaboration and innovation at city hall A leader’s job is to look objectively at the pros and cons of every issue that is brought to the table and then collaborate to bring about an innovative solution. As a school board trustee and a municipal councillor I have asked the tough questions: What is in the best interest of the child? How will the community benefit? Politicians are elected to serve the public’s best interest. This entails looking strategically into the future to determine how the decisions we make today will impact us down the road.

John A. Meech Occupation: Professor of engineering Key issues: 1. Governance – a culture of cooperation at municipal hall among senior administrators and elected officials 2. “No growth� policy is stifling Delta 3. Taxes – hold tax increases to the rate of inflation Delta’s “no growth� policy is unsustainable – schools closing, businesses leaving, lack of housing for young families and down-sizing seniors. The approach to external forces has been belligerence or silence – just look around at the SFPR scar on our land, traffic nightmares from port expansion, and the BC Hydro power line fiasco. I intend to change how Delta operates – cooperating rather than confronting; a focus on the future not the past.

...with Dan Jukich He is just 22 years of age and he’s already considered to be one of the world’s top standardbred drivers. Back in his hometown of Oakville, Ontario, his adoring fans refer to him as simply: “Great Scottâ€?. He is Scott Zeron, son of celebrated trainer/driver Rick, and like his father did so many times in the past, Scott has agreed to participate in BC Breeders’ Classic Day at Fraser Downs. It all starts at 1:45 p.m.tomorrow (Remembrance Day Friday) with more than $250,000 in purses featuring the $75,000 Robert Murphy Stakes for 3-year-old colts and geldings and the $75,000 Mary Murphy Stakes for 3-year-old ďŹ llies. Local trainer Rick Lancaster has to be saluted for making the arrangements to have young Scott Zeron on hand. Scott became the fastest-ever driver to hit 1,000 wins and comes to Surrey as Canada’s leading driver as he approaches 500 wins and $7 million in earnings just this year alone. Lancaster will have Zeron driving Stepuptotheplate in the Robert Murphy Stakes against Dan Ingram’s Gramrun Jake, winner of four in a row that included both legs of the Robert Murphy eliminations. Another contender will be Boom Shazam out of the Justin Currie barn. It took Gramrun Jake’s career best (1:53.3) to beat Boom Shazam in the second leg division. The 3-year-old pacing ďŹ llies in the Mary Murphy Stakes are expected to put on quite a show with ďŹ rst leg champions Just Fiction and Imherefortheparty being repeat winners in the second leg. Just Fiction, the 2-year-old champion out of the Al Anderson/JJJ Stables barn, has won 14 of 17 career starts. The 2-year-olds on the undercard going for $40,000 purses will also be cause for great excitement. Cheyne J went undefeated in the two legs of the ďŹ llies eliminations for trainer/driver Dave Hudon. Mach Maiden Heaven (Scott Knight) and Te Anau (Don Monkman Jr.) will be prime competition. With the 2-year-old colts, Rick White trains all of the three-horse entry that includes Gotta Have Nukes, Hector Protector and Thieving Magpie. Talk about holding a pat hand of three aces. Can’t wait, gang, for tomorrow and BC Breeders Classic Day. See you there on the once-in-a-lifetime 11th day of the 11th month of year 2011.

Still Plucking Cancer at Turkey’’s Party Makers Ltd. Turkey “Work hard, party harder!” This is the mantra of Rob (Turkey) Kielesinski, owner of Turkey’s Party Makers in Cloverdale. You need to work hard to be successful but you also need to party even harder to maintain the balance that makes for a happy life he says. Turkey has been partying harder by planning events, dances and functions since he was in the eleventh grade, and his nickname “Turkey” goes back even further. Turkey built a reputation for himself as someone who knew how to throw a great party, so it was a natural Àt when he opened a business to help people do just that. He hosted many Dirty Birdie Balls that were well attended and great fun. When he changed the name of his company from Surrey Party Makers to Turkey’s Party makers, customers immediately recognized the name and knew that this was the place to

Turkey’s is a wholesale party supply store that is open to the public and now available online. With 20,000+ items to choose from, if they do not have it, they will go out of their way to get it or direct you to it. They have up to 33 colours in many products. Napkins, plates, cups, table covers, placemats, balloons, ribbons, confetti, and cutlery continue to be some of the most popular requests. Turkey’s is able to Àll a single item order to even the largest orders like the 50,000 feet of black streamers recently ordered by one client. With their warehouse space it is very rare that they run out of a product.

Turkey’s has everything from the smallest detail like birthday candles and confetti in any shape to large items like dunk tanks, candy Áoss and popcorn makers, carnival games and bouncy castles. They even carry items that you may never have heard of or thought of, such as submersible LED lights, feather boas, bunting, numeric sparklers, pink and black lawn Áamingoes, or costumes and accessories.

go for everything you need for a party, and have been doing so for 32 years now. Turkey has and continues to give back to the community where he works and lives. He is a contributing member of many community boards and organizations. He has coached children’s sports teams, is a public speaker and continues to plan events. One that is close to his heart is Turkey’s Annual Marion Cancer Fund Golf Tournament. This year’s 17th annual raised $5,175 which he matches for a total of $10,350.00, these monies go directly to the BC Cancer Foundation. Turkey says choosing a theme or even some

colour goes a long way to making your event one that people will talk about long after it is over. These can be added inexpensively with balloons, streamers, napkins, paper plates etc. All events that you host should be memorable Turkey says, even something as simple as a seminar or small get-together. When guests walk into a room and are greeted with a theme or colour, they cannot help but smile and be in a better mood. People having fun will learn more, dance more, donate more etc. and are more likely to return for your next event.

Turkey’s customer service is second to none in the industry. Turkey himself and his 15 staff are always willing and happy to help you Ànd what you need. They carry both economical and quality versions of many products. With their knowledge they will likely have suggestions to bring your ideas to life.

With Turkey’s carrying every season all year round, the possibilities are endless!

Let’s talk Turkey. Sometimes I wonder if anyone reads these ads, especially thanking the people who donate to the cause. A lot of you out there have had to help collect gifts and donations from people and that alone is a donating task. And sooner or later business are going to cut back or just say no, because it doesn’t help their business.
