More cases at risk in congested courts

Illegal dumpers beware

Worsening backlog may set additional accused free

City rolls out cameras, ﬁnes and mandatory construction recycling to ﬁght costly problem

by Jeff Nagel

by Maria Spitale-Leisk FOR ANYONE eyeing a deserted Surrey lot in which to dump their garbage, think again. The City of Surrey is warning you are not in the shadows. Since June, mobile surveillance cameras have been covertly watching over a number of vacant lots around the city that are frequently targeted by illegal dumping. The use of cameras is not a new tactic in the city’s fight against the perpetrators of this dirty crime; live monitoring, however, is. “Where the idea now is, that the monitoring centre can then call out the RCMP and try and catch the people while they are doing it,” said Vincent LaLonde, Surrey’s general manager of engineering. Surrey recently introduced stiffer penalties for illegal dumping, raising the maximum fine to $10,000 from $2,000. Convicted offenders are also liable for the cost of clean-up. “That is the whole idea (behind the cameras), taking people to Vincent court,” said Lalonde. Lalonde Anti-litter public service announcements have been popping up on Surrey bus shelters and in local newspapers as part of the city’s $40,000 advertising campaign that started in March. Enforcing mandatory recycling at demolition and construction sites in Surrey is the last piece in the city’s three-pronged strategy to crack down on illegal dumping. See DUMPING / Page 4

MORE THAN half of all B.C. Provincial Court cases have been stuck in the system for at least a year and a growing number are at risk of being thrown out as a result. Those are among the findings of an update to the B.C. Provincial Court’s Justice Delayed report, which originally warned of serious delays in the system last fall. The update shows there were 2,371 adult criminal cases before the courts for more than 18 months as of March 31– a 16 per cent increase from 2,038 a year earlier. Criminal cases 12 to 18 months old climbed 18 per cent over the same period from 4,856 to 5,744. Together, the two categories make up just over half of the court’s entire caseload. Judges are bound by Supreme Court of Canada rulings on how long cases can drag on and trials are being quashed over unacceptable delays of as little as 14 months, depending on the circumstances.

Surrey is the worst courthouse in B.C. for adult criminal cases, with a 16-month wait for a two-day trial.

BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER

The City of Surrey launched a $40,000 advertising campaign in March targeting the growing problem of illegal garbage dumping, which cost taxpayers $830,000 in clean-up costs last year alone.

Children were home at time of stepdad’s murder Black Press A 37-YEAR-OLD woman has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of her commonlaw husband in Delta last week. On July 3 at 12:30 a.m., Quannah O’Soup, 38, was found unconscious and unresponsive with apparent stab wounds at a residence in the 11500 block of 80 Avenue. He was later pronounced dead at the scene by B.C. Ambulance Service attendants. Beatrice Thomas of North Delta was arrested for the murder on Monday (July 11) and remains in custody. Police tape surrounded the home for nearly a week and police stayed Sharlene tight-lipped Brooks about the incident. At a press conference Tuesday, Delta Police said O’Soup and Thomas were known to them due to a domestic disturbance at the home about four months ago. At that time, O’Soup was issued a peace bond which allowed him to be at the house, but only if he was sober. Sgt. Sharlene Brooks said it’s not yet certain if he had been drinking when he was stabbed. Police said Thomas’s kids, aged 10 and 15, were home at the time of their stepfather’s killing, but did not witness it. They are now being cared for by the B.C. Ministry of Children and Family Development. Thomas appeared in court Tuesday. Her next appearance is scheduled for July 27.

Car levy should vary by level of transit service, mayors say Under-served areas might be exempt or pay another way by Jeff Nagel A PROPOSED vehicle levy to finance transit upgrades should charge

motorists more if they live in frequently served Vancouver and less in transit-poor areas with no real alternative to driving, some mayors say. The regional mayors council voted last week to pay for the Evergreen Line and a package of broader transit upgrades through a two-cent hike in the gas tax, coupled with at least one other to-be-determined source. A vehicle levy – possibly ranging from $10 to $40 per vehicle – is being proposed by TransLink to serve as that second source but it’s unclear how it would be applied.

TransLink last fall proposed a vehicle levy that would vary based on the car’s carbon footprint – it would be low for an efficient hatchback or hybrid and steep for a gas-guzzling SUV. That’s again an option this time, but officials say it’s not set in stone. Delta Mayor and Metro board chair Lois Jackson argues the levy, dubbed a Transportation Improvement Fee, should instead vary based on the level of local transit service. “It should be more expensive in Vancouver, Burnaby – places where you do have 15-minute service,” she said. See WATTS / Page 5

Men joyride in a stolen front end loader John Deere tractor taken from Stokes Pit by Dan Ferguson THERE WERE, witnesses said, five to

Police helicopter Air 1 was called in to search for some youths who took a tractor on a joyride through Langley on Sunday.

seven young men riding the 20-ton John Deere front end loader down 24 Avenue early Sunday morning. The stereo in the cab of the rig was blasting music over the sound of the 232 horsepower engine. The big tractor was stolen from a locked compound at Stokes Pit near the Surrey-Langley border around 1 a.m.

As it was making its way eastward down the 19900 block of 24 Avenue, the loader flipped over a Ford F350 pick-up truck, leaving the smaller vehicle on its side. Shortly after that the youths abandoned the loader and fled on foot. According to one unofficial account, the John Deere was brought to a halt by a local resident who jumped into the cab to stop it from hitting a gas station and pub.

The Air 1 police helicopter was called in, but neither it nor a police dog could locate the joyriders. The loader was recovered undamaged and returned to the owner. Police are asking anyone with information that might assist in identifying the suspects to call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or if you prefer to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477). dferguson@langleytimes.com

Dumping: Clean-up cost was $830,000 last year From page 1 According to Lalonde, some construction crews have been inadvertently encouraging people to add their garbage to the

piles of wood and debris that already exists on these sites. “Our rationale being that if all the construction sites are tidier – and by tidier we are going to

challenge them to recycle more – then people will not see new construction zones as dumping areas,” said Lalonde. Currently, city staff are consulting with the

SURREY’S MOST AFFORDABLE SENIORS’ COMMUNITY

off “I felt like I was coming home”

I have spent the last 3 years moving from one retirement community to the next feeling out of place and comfort. A friend told me about Amenida. When I entered the building I felt like I was coming home. The management and staff are my biggest supporters — when I have something to say, they listen. Even my dog, Tommy was warmly welcomed as part of the Amenida family. I hope others get the same chance to be treated this way. ~ Ken Hoffmann

construction industry to work out the logistics; however, subject to council approval, mandatory recycling at these sites could be a reality as early as the fall. The City of North Vancouver has had a demolition waste recycling bylaw in place since 2007. That city requires a detailed outline of where exactly the materials will be recycled before a demolition permit is issued. John de Ruiter, assistant manager of inspections for the City of North Vancouver, said the demolition recycling

bylaw has not generated any complaints in North Vancouver, so far. “In fact contractors were pleased to learn through our policy that disposing of mixed recyclable loads via recycling depots was no more expensive than disposing of these materials in the landfills,” said de Ruiter. In some cases, recycling can also be the cheaper option. Mike Holloway, owner of Assertive Excavating And Demolition Ltd. in Surrey, carts his recyclables to a local depot that hand sorts and shreds everything.

“(Recycling) is kind of the way we have gone and it’s worked out really well for us,” said Holloway. (The recycling depot) gives us pretty competitive dump fees. The landfill is pretty expensive, whereas they are a little less.” In the end, the City of Surrey is hoping its illegal dumping strategy will cut the cost of clean-up. The city spent more than $800,000 last year hauling away trash that had been pitched in ditches, fields, empty lots and road sides, with a 2010 cost increase the largest jump in 10 years.

Figures provided by the city at the request of The Leader show over the last decade, Surrey taxpayers were on the hook for more than $6 million thanks to people dumping large amounts of refuse in neighbourhoods rather than taking it to a waste transfer station or landfill. Last year saw a dramatic increase of 22 per cent, as the cost of cleaning up illegal dumping in Surrey shot up $147,000 – from 683,000 to $830,000 for the year. – with ﬁles from Kevin Diakiw reporter@surreyleader.com

Courts: More funding cuts coming From page 1 The average delay across B.C. for a two-day criminal trial in March was 10.6 months, slightly worse than nine months earlier, although the stats show some improvement in the waits for child protection hearings, small claims trials and family law trials. But the numbers vary considerably depending on the courthouse. Surrey remains the worst for adult criminal cases, with a 16-month wait for a two-day trial. Fort St. John, Chilliwack, Ter-

race, Vancouver (Main Street), Kelowna and Vernon were all booking two-day criminal trials at least 13 months away. The longest delays for child protection hearings (13 to 15 months) were in Cranbrook, Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Terrace, while delays of 14 to 15 months were being recorded for family trials in Fort St. John, Cranbrook, Abbotsford and Chilliwack. The original report recommended B.C. move to restore the number of provincial court judges from 126.3 full-time equivalents

(FTEs) in September 2010 to the 2005 level of 143.6. While a few new judges have been hired since the initial report, others have retired, been promoted to B.C. Supreme Court or opted to start to cut their hours to part-time. As a result, the number of judges is now 125.1 FTEs, about 15 per cent fewer than in 2005 despite more cases of greater complexity. The province passed a budget this spring requiring further cuts to court staffing.

Watts: It’s about being fair

From page 3 “People in outlying areas with no service should pay a lesser fee for the vehicle levy, because they’re having to pay already with tax on gasoline. That’s their contribution because they have to have a vehicle or two vehicles in their family.” Many residents with next-to-no bus service also pay $200 or more on their property taxes towards TransLink, Jackson said. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts also backs a graduated vehicle levy. She said it should apply only where local transit service is well developed – areas such as Burnaby, Vancouver and Richmond. It wouldn’t apply in faster-growing areas like Surrey, she suggested, but those areas would instead raise money for TransLink through new development cost charges when new subdivisions are developed. Since the Burrard Peninsula is mostly built-out, such fees would play little to no role there, Watts said. “It’s about being equitable and fair,” she said. It’s not good enough to simply complain about the various funding mechanisms under consideration, Watts said. About one million more people are expected to be coming to the Lower Mainland over the next couple of decades – 70 per cent of them to the south of Fraser or northeast sector, she noted. “You have to make a choice,” Watts said. “Do you want another half a million cars on the road with more congestion? Or do you want to put a better transportation system in place so we won’t have those problems?” Watts was among the majority of mayors who last week supported the proposed funding strategy, while Jackson was one of eight who voted against it, fearing the vehicle levy or other secondary source might not be ultimately supported by the province, forcing an increase in TransLink’s property tax to make up the difference. “For the longer term there has to be a conversation

around tolling,” Watts added. “South of the Fraser is disproportionately penalized through the tolling policy in place.” Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender said the region needs to look hard at tolling existing bridges using more modest tolls. He said a graduated vehicle levy that is much reduced in underserved suburbs is worth considering. “We’ve been subsidizing Vancouver and Burnaby transit service for many years South of the Fraser and it’s time other people shared the load.” But Fassbender said it’s not clear to him how such a system would work. “What happens as transit expands? Does the levy go up in those areas to be a disincentive to drive? People are looking for simplistic solutions. But we need to do a lot more homework on how those pieces fit together.” B.C. Conservative party leader John Cummins last week denounced the two-cent gas tax hike, which he said will be “rubbing salt in the wounds” of commuters who already pay high gas taxes, the carbon tax and soon face the tolling of the Port Mann Bridge. “To penalize people who have to get to work by car because there’s no transit available is simply not the way to solve the problem,” he said. Cummins would not say what new funding source for TransLink he would support, instead suggesting that money for transit could somehow be found elsewhere in the provincial budget. He said corporate sponsorship of rapid transit stations may be one partial solution. It’s no surprise area mayors are supporting the gas tax increase, he said. “The province wears it, not the mayor who’s going to face re-election.” The B.C. Chamber of Commerce backed the funding plan, saying the transit upgrades will be a boon for investment. Chamber president John Winter said it’s critical, however, that road pricing (a much broader system of tolling not limited to bridges) be made a long-term revenue source for TransLink.

Mountie not guilty of assault Too much conﬂicting evidence in Surrey case, judge rules by Sheila Reynolds HE WAS charged with assaulting a man during a traffic stop three years ago, but a judge has found Surrey RCMP Const. Joseph Kane not guilty of the offence, ruling there was too much conflicting evidence in the case. The alleged incident took place in January 2008 in the Fraser Heights neighbourhood, when police pulled over a car because there were arrest warrants out for the vehicle’s registered owner. Bryan Pecchia was a passenger in the car, but officers could smell marijuana wafting from the window, and Kane was asked to arrest him. Witnesses and another police officer said Kane wrapped his arms around Pecchia’s neck until he went limp. Const. Timothy Cucheran testified he heard an argument between the two men and then watched Kane reach into the side and grab Pecchia by the neck and face. Pecchia said that Kane punched him in the side of the

face without any provocation, and then wrapped his hands around his neck as he tried to climb into the back seat to get away from the officer. A neighbour watching the scuffle said she heard Pecchia pleading with Kane and then saw Pecchia go limp, and assumed he was unconscious. Kane told the story differently, claiming Pecchia had punched him in the stomach and then kicked and elbowed him as he tried to get him under control and out of the car. He testified he only held Pecchia by the shoulders, placing a hand behind the suspect’s head to protect against a head butt. Another officer, Const. Steve Lachapelle, testified Kane slid his arms under Pecchia’s and locked hands behind the suspect’s neck in a full nelson. Pecchia was not arrested or charged, and suffered cuts to his mouth, scratches on his neck and damage to his teeth. In acquitting Kane on Friday (July 8), provincial court Judge Kenneth Skilnick said the police officer showed “a lack of compo-

sure and an inability to control his anger.” But he also said the “diametrically opposing evidence” about what took place made it impossible to tell how hard Pecchia was fighting and whether the force used by Kane was appropriate. “All that can reasonably be concluded is that the accused demonstrated a loss of selfcontrol to a degree that concerned his fellow officers, as well as reasonable members of the public who observed his behaviour,” Skilnick said in a written decision. “While such conduct is regrettable, it does not equate with the commission of a criminal offence.” In January, Kane was also cleared of a separate assault causing bodily harm charge. He had been accused of assaulting an acquaintance in an April 2008 incident when he was off duty. The judge in that case ruled Kane did not use excessive force against the alleged victim.

TRANSLINK FUNDING

Surrey/North Delta Leader 9

Metro, TransLink boards should be elected Liberals RE: “METRO Vancouver board mulls election reform.” The conversation regarding direct election of the Metro board and the TransLink board is so ridiculous it should not be happening. Certainly the people most

affected by the decisions of these “boards” should elect the representatives that make those decisions. It is time that the current “politician favoured” forum of public meetings and opinion polls be abandoned for the more accurate public ballot.

Given the financial decisions made by these “appointed by peers” boards, it is unbelievable that the public has no directly elected representation. Two simple questions could be added to the ballot during the fall election of our municipal officials:

“Should the board of TransLink be directly elected?” and, “Should the board of Metro Vancouver be directly elected?” Both with easy to understand yes or no choices. Larry Miller Delta

Light rail system needed now THE RAIL For the Valley campaign demands the

provincial government get started on building south-of-Fraser light rail, now that residents are being asked to pay more in vehicle and gas taxes. The idea of increasing taxes in Surrey and Langley to fund the Evergreen SkyTrain Line will simply not fly if there is not also an immediate plan to build light rail south of the Fraser River. The Evergreen Line is extremely expensive and taking so long to implement because the provincial government decided it must be built using Bombardier’s SkyTrain system instead of the far more popular option of at-grade light rail that is being built everywhere else around the world. So now, people south of the Fraser are being asked to pay even more in taxes for very little benefit to themselves. This has to change. We strongly support Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts’ demands for immediate investment in atgrade light rail south of the Fraser, and we await an announcement from the province. To put things in perspective, an independent technical analysis by Leewood Projects of Great Britain confirms that establishing a light rail service on the existing Interurban corridor, through Surrey, Delta, Cloverdale, Langley, and Abbotsford, all the way 100 kilometres to Chilliwack, would cost about one-third the cost of the 11-kilometre Evergreen Line. The Interurban would be an excellent starting point for a light rail network, because you can establish an initial system of considerable length at low cost, and then build on to it. Rail For the Valley understands the need to sometimes raise revenues in order to help pay for significant infrastructure projects that will benefit everyone. It has now been 17 years with no rail-based transit expansion south of the Fraser River, and

priced luxury projects, then the region that it is being built in should be taxed. Why do we here in Delta and Langley and Cloverdale have to pay for a service we are never, ever going to use? It’s ridiculous. The car driver is being sent the bill and that’s wrong. The city or region that it is built in should be paying the bill. Affordable options are needed, not luxury options.

It’s wrong to tax drivers

Banning bottled water a waste of time THE SURREY School District pulled

a rabbit out of the hat by covering the $10-million deficit it was facing for this upcoming year. Schools are densely overpopulated, some of our secondary schools have over 15 portables on their sites and the biggest concern to Trustee Laurie Larsen is having bottled water in our schools? It is an absolute waste of time and money looking into this. Firstly, we should be happy that the students are choosing water and not walking across the street to have a 500-calorie Starbucks drink. When the district first eliminated junk food from our schools, I was a supporter of that despite there being many other options to most secondary schools. By removing the junk food and pop from the schools, a large chunk of revenue disappeared as the money from the vending machines

usually comes back to the school to support such areas as athletics. In our schools today, you can choose healthy snacks and bottled water. Revenues are down on the machines, but at least there is funding coming into our athletics and fine art programs. Students are finally beginning to make the right choice and choose water over pop and other high sugar drinks and Ms. Larsen is setting up our students to take a step backwards. Students choose bottled water so they can take water with them to class, for the walk home and in many cases, the water fountains are routinely soiled by students throwing food in them, spitting in them and many other distasteful acts. This is not about trusting that our water is safe, it is about convenience and making healthy choices. Ms. Larsen needs to focus more

on the issues that the district faces each and every day rather than a non-issue as this clearly is. Dean Maion Surrey

RE: “SURREY school trustee floats

trustees give themselves an $800-a-year raise – added to their just under $30,000-per-year pay for part-time work – and Trustee Laurie Larsen comes up with no plastic water bottles in school? The school system is a mess and we are paying her to come up with that advice? We all know water is a good thing for the mind and body to function well, so why deprive the students? Can you imagine a class of 30-plus excusing themselves to go to the water fountain? Yes, around a table meeting, go ahead and serve

If you don’t want to drink from the fountain, carry water in a reusable bottle. I’m also in support of everyone using refillable bottles and filling them from our taps. I’m thankful for the great water we have. Others should be too. Cut back on garbage and recycling – drink water from your tap. Janice Sherwood Surrey

love Wall Street

RE: “TAX MY car, not my

income” (B.C. Views, June 15). Tom Fletcher can nitpick all he wants about the proper identification of the government’s July 2010 tax increase on private vehicle sales. As an alternative, maybe his beloved government should have considered rescinding the dealer tax on used vehicles. Most people buy used cars and other used products because they can’t afford to buy new. In reality, this is just another tax that hits those who can least afford it. After slogging through all the statistics, graphs, and pie-charts concerning the HST, one thing struck me: The province raises 14 per cent of its money from the HST, 14 per cent from personal income taxes, and only four per cent from corporate income taxes. The province spends 42 per cent of its revenues on health and 27 per cent on education. Corporations benefit greatly from an educated and healthy workforce. It reduces their training costs, and unlike companies in the U.S. they don’t have to shell out huge amounts for heath insurance. That in itself provides a big cost advantage for B.C. companies. So why aren’t these companies paying their fair share? Over the years our government has increasingly catered to the values of Wall Street and Madison Avenue. You know – those buzzing little stick people on TV. Now, if only it could rediscover Main Street. Mike Divine, New Westminster

Accountability is lacking RE: “BERNER due back in court,”

The Leader, July 7. It never ceases to amaze me how easily the word “accountability” is thrown about by anyone from alleged criminals to CEOs and politicians. In her case, Ms. Berner has stated several times to the press that she accepts accountability for the dreadful 2008 car crash which took the life of a toddler. Yet here she is, mounting an appeal to the original conviction and sentence. Accountability? My eyes. H.Torenbeek Surrey

was making jokes about the murder of Jackman’s friend, Kevin LeClair, a Surrey Red Scorpions associate gang member who was gunned down in a Langley strip mall. Jackman and LeClair were very close, almost like brothers, according to a written statement filed by LeClair’s father. Jackman, who has a tattoo of LeClair, was enraged to hear that Willock had laughed about the murder, saying it meant he wouldn’t have to pay back $40,000 he’d borrowed from the murdered man. “He [Willock] disrespected his close friend [LeClair] whose death he [Jackman] took very, very hard,” Coleman said. “Whatever else Albert Jackman may be, he has a

multiple fractures that required extensive surgery and months of rehab. He has not fully recovered from his injuries. Crown prosecutor Catherine Fedder called it a “brutal, protracted, cold-blooded, vicious assault on another young man.” She is seeking a 12-year jail term. Coleman is suggesting six. Either way, Jackman will still be in jail once he completes his assault sentence because he is also serving a life sentence of 25 years without parole for the unrelated March 28, 2009 murder of 24-year-old Kyle Barber of Aldergrove. At the close of the Wednesday hearing, Justice Robert Crawford asked Jackman if he had anything to say. Jackman stood up and expressed regret, but not for the injuries to Willock. Jackman told the judge he came from a “wonderful family” where he was taught to protect his friends and not put them in harm’s way. “Unfortunately, I did,” he said, an apparent reference to LeClair. He made no direct reference to Willock’s injuries, saying “I will continue to do my time with my head held high.” Jackman’s lawyer said his client always wanted to plead guilty to the hammer attack, but was convinced to wait until after his murder trial. Shortly after he was convicted of first-degree murder and received his automatic life sentence, Jackman pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated assault and one count of unlawful confinement in the Willock case. Jackman told police that the second man charged in the sledgehammer attack, Wesley Edward Kelemen, was simply a bystander who had nothing to do with it, his lawyer said. Kelemen, who earlier pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful confinement, was sentenced to time already served in jail since his arrest, one year and three months. The judge is scheduled to make his ruling on Jackman’s sentence next Wednesday (July 20). dferguson@langleytimes.com

each year according to a formula. The director fees are pegged to the median (mid-point) of Metro Vancouver mayors’ salaries. That means every increase in any mayor’s pay over the last year increases the median and ratchets the regional meeting rate higher. The city that tugged regional fees up the most was Port Coquitlam, where Mayor Greg Moore’s salary soared 27 per cent this year to $85,418. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan got a $16,500 raise (17 per cent) to $114,031. Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin and Vancouver’s Gregor Robertson got increases of about $10,000, bringing their mayoral salaries to $99,436 (up 10.8 per cent) and $151,594 (up 8.3 per cent) respectively. Moore defended his $18,000 pay increase as mayor, saying Port Coquitlam had frozen council salaries until last year, when it okayed a big increase to catch up with other cities.

“Because we hadn’t had a serious increase in several years, the increase is quite high.” Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore “Because we hadn’t had a serious increase in several years, the increase is quite high,” he said. Moore said a citizens advisory committee considered the issue two years ago – amid the recession – and concluded council wages should go up once the economy recovered to bring Port Coquitlam closer in line with similar cities. “They found the mayor and council were substantially underpaid,” he said, adding the mayor’s position had become a full-time job but was never paid accordingly. “I want to make sure it’s fair whether I’m here or the next person’s here.” See DIRECTORS / Page 13

Thursday, July 14, 2011 Surrey/North Delta Leader 13

Directors: Selected by councils, not elected From page 12 Several cities in the region – seeking to avoid the spectre of politicians voting up their own pay – automatically tie their mayor and council wages to the regional median or that of a cluster of similarsized Metro cities. As a result, some mayors’ salaries rise each year and Metro’s fees rise in response – each chasing the other ever higher. The directors’ fees add up to between $10,000 and $20,000 for most directors (on top of their council pay), although some who serve on several active committees get much more.

Greg Moore

Lois Jackson Moore, the chair of Metro’s waste management committee, collected $45,637 from Metro meeting fees last year, second only to the board chair’s stipend. He also collected almost $15,000 in expenses for Metro-approved travel, more than any other director. Board chair and Delta Mayor Lois Jackson, who in previous years questioned the formula that automatically raises the fees, said Metro must use some mechanism to decide pay for its elected directors. “You have to try and compare it with something,” she said. “You’re darned if you do and darned if you don’t.” Jackson argued she reins in costs by not scheduling every committee to meet each month if it’s not warranted.

“I’m very conscious of not having a meeting for a meeting’s sake if we don’t have an agenda or something vitally important to be done,” she said. “Overall travel expenses are down and overall the directors’ stipends are down as well.” Metro directors received a total of $846,000 from meeting fees last year, plus $38,000 in travel expenses. This year’s hike in Metro’s per meeting fees was modest – a point Jackson stressed. But they’ve soared more than 30 per cent from 2008 levels – when councils were last elected – mainly due to a big one-year jump from $253 to $316 per meeting in 2009. Jackson noted Metro directors are paid much less than TransLink’s unelected directors, who get $1,200 per meeting on top of a $25,000 base stipend. But area mayors also automatically serve on another body – the Mayors Council on Regional Transportation, which approves or rejects funding increases for TransLink. Mayors get paid $500 each time the mayors council meets and the chair (Richard Walton) gets a flat stipend of $5,000. The flat stipends of the Metro chair and vice chair also rise at the same rate as the meeting fees. Jackson now gets $66,082 as Metro board chair – in addition to her $100,000 salary as mayor of Delta – while vice-chair Richard Walton gets $33,041. Metro directors earlier this year voted to limit themselves to being paid for a maximum of two meetings on the same day. That limits them to a daily maximum of $660 and ends the possibility – which happened a couple of times last year – of directors attending three meetings in the same day for almost $1,000. They made no move to reconsider the formula of automatic increases. Metro board directors aren’t directly elected, they’re selected by each council. Metro committee members are picked by the board chair.

Top paid Metro directors in 2010: • Lois Jackson (Delta mayor and Metro chair): $65,939 + $2,034 expenses. • Greg Moore (Port Coquitlam mayor): $45,637 + $14,792 in expenses • Gayle Martin (Langley City councillor): $40,471 + $3,734 expenses • Richard Walton (North Vancouver District mayor and Metro vice-chair): $32,247 + $633 expenses • Wayne Wright (New

Westminster mayor): $29,944 + $245 expenses • Darrell Mussatto (North Vancouver City mayor): $27,602 + $5,765 expenses • Derek Corrigan (Burnaby mayor): $26,076 + $2,104 expenses • Malcolm Brodie (Richmond mayor): $22,120 • Tim Stevenson (Vancouver councillor): $20,793 + $50 expenses • Harold Steves (Richmond councillor): $20,613 • Joe Trasolini (Port Moody mayor): $21,074

+ $854 expenses • Judy Villeneuve (Surrey councillor): $19,831

Metro pay rates: • Chair receives 75 per cent of the median salary of Metro mayors, or $66,082. • Vice-chair receives half that amount. • Directors are paid 0.5 per cent of the chair’s salary for every meeting they attend, currently $330. • Fees double for meetings longer than four hours.

Mayors with biggest pay gains from 2008-2011: • Langley City’s Peter Fassbender – up 65 per cent from $44,215 to $72,986 • Maple Ridge’s Ernie Daykin – up 50.8 per cent from $65,920 to $99,436 • Langley Township’s Rick Green – up 45.2 per cent from $64,563 to $93,724 • Bowen Island’s Bob Turner – up 41.3 per cent from $15,457 to $21,845

province shares its gambling profits with community groups must restore slashed grants to former levels and curtail Victoria’s ability to interfere in the future, charity advocates say. The Community Gaming Grant Review, announced Monday by Premier Christy Clark, is to deliver a top-tobottom assessment of the system and determine options to “create certainty and sustainability” for affected non-profit groups and charities. It will be headed by former Kwantlen Polytechnic University president Skip Triplett. Many groups were outraged in 2009 when

shore up B.C.’s budget amid a deepening global recession and said the reallocations were geared to protect youth groups at the expense of organizations serving adults. Marsden accused Coleman of putting his personal anti-arts stamp on the decision and said she hopes the review ensures nothing similar can happen again. “We need to get government at arm’s length from this,” she said. “In the short term, we need to get all of the charities funded again to the levels they were in 2008. In the long term, we need to look at stability, at legislation that enshrines the funding formula.” Marsden praised Clark for delivering on

the province cut grants to community groups from $156 million to $120 million a year. That was raised to $135 million this spring after Clark took office. Susan Marsden, president of the B.C. Association for Charitable Gaming, characterized the raid two years ago as an attack on non-profits, particularly those in arts and culture. “They decided they were going to cut out arts and culture entirely, cut environmental groups entirely, cut other groups by 50 per cent and give 100 per cent to their favourite charities,” she said. Rich Coleman, the former minister in charge of gaming, had defended the cuts as necessary to

her pledge of a review and said the terms of reference are acceptable – except that Triplett won’t report until the end of October. “I don’t know if there will be any charities left to fund once they get around to putting anything into legislation.” More than two-thirds of the $1 billion a year in revenue that comes to the province from gambling goes into general revenue, with another $147 million dedicated to health funding, $82 million shared with cities that host casinos or community gaming centres and the rest is shared with community groups.

calls on B.C. to bolster its protection of species at risk doesn’t go far enough, environmental groups say. Critics call the 16 recommendations vague and lacking teeth. The Species At Risk Task Force report concludes the extremely large number of species assessed at risk – 1,900 and rising – means B.C. should shift from a focus on individual spe-

cies to a broader ecosystem-based approach when considering new development. It warns the speciesby-species approach “is leading us down a path of increasing complexity, overlapping initiatives and unsupportable costs even as the numbers of at-risk species continues to grow.” It does not propose a provincial endangered species law equivalent to the federal Species At Risk Act – a tougher

legislative approach that conservation groups prefer. “We are disappointed that instead of calling for a law they recommend tinkering with B.C.’s antiquated patchwork of existing regulations,” Wilderness Committee policy director Gwen Barlee said. Threats to wildlife highlighted in the report include climate change, degraded ecosystems and challenges in protecting species on private land. The report suggests offering incentives to private property owners to reward their assistance. Species at risk in B.C. include grizzly bears, spotted owls, phantom orchids, Vancouver Island marmots and killer whales.

Law-makers eye pesticide ban A PROVINCIAL com-

mittee has convened to consider a possible blanket ban on home use of pesticides for cosmetic purposes throughout B.C. Liberal MLA Dr. Margaret MacDiarmid, a cancer survivor, heads the bipartisan special committee now weighing the potential to outlaw the sale of pesticides and the possible impact on farmers and forestry. Dozens of B.C. cities already have local bans on residential use but MacDiarmid said the ability to buy a herbicide or insecticide in one area and use it in another means there are grounds to consider a B.C. standard.

Pesticides: Exposure unhealthy, cancer society says From page 16 “There’s a real patchwork around the province,” she said. Retailers currently sell pesticides even in cities where their use is banned. The Canadian Cancer Society argues long-term exposure to residential pesticides poses a cancer threat to children. New Democrats have already been pressing for tighter rules. NDP leader Adrian Dix this spring proposed a ban on the sale of high-risk pesticides, leaving residents only able to use lower risk alternatives.

Teachers demand extra leave PUBLIC SCHOOL

employers say contract demands tabled by the B.C. Teachers Federation would cost the system nearly $2.2 billion more each year. The demands include doubling the provision for bereavement leave to provide 10 days paid leave on the death of

any friend or relative. The union also wants teachers to be able to take 26 weeks off each year as a fully paid leave of absence to provide compassionate care to any person. The BCTF also wants wage parity with other provinces, although it hasn’t yet tabled an exact pay hike demand. Teachers salaries range from around $47,000 to over $75,000 a year. Salary parity would mean a 21 per cent raise for most teachers to match levels in Alberta and cost an estimated $618 million, according to the BC Public School Employers Association (BCPSEA). Other top cost drivers in the proposals include extra prep time at $417 million and $445 million for a retirement bonus that would give departing teachers an extra five per cent payout for every year they’ve worked. The proposals leave a wide gulf between the teachers’ federation and the BCPSEA, which aims to keep overall teacher costs frozen.

Unionized teachers voted 90 per cent in favour of strike action last month. Any initial job action starting in September is expected to be limited to paring back administrative work and other non-teaching activities. The employers association said it’s concerned the teachers passed a strike vote at an early stage in talks. Negotiations are to resume in August.

An “Accreditation with Distinction” title was recently awarded to the SBOT by the Chamber Accreditation Council of Canada. Along with an increased role in national and international policy advocacy, the SBOT also joins a select number of boards of trade from across the country that are being acknowledged for their business excellence.

Relief funding for farmers announced Provincial and federal governments provide compensation for weather damage in 2010, early 2011 by Christine Lyon LOWER MAINLAND

farmers who watched last season’s fall crops rot in soggy fields after record-setting rains are getting some longawaited financial relief. The federal and provincial agricultural ministers were in Ladner

Tuesday (July 12) to announce funding meant to help B.C. farmers recover from the damage caused by extreme weather in 2010 and into the spring of 2011. Dozens of local growers and politicians gathered at Burr Farms in east Ladner for a press

conference in which federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz and B.C. Minister of Agriculture Don McRae announced up to $5 million for two new AgriRecovery initiatives to help vegetable, cattle and bison producers struck by disaster. The Feed Assistance

and Pasture Restoration Initiative will help livestock producers affected by drought, flooding and wildfires in Bella Coola, Cariboo-Chilcotin and the Central Interior regions, including $14 per acre to reseed pasture land and $1 per cow for each day the animal was required to be off those pastures. The Excess Moisture Initiative includes $175 per acre for potato and vegetable producers in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island to assist with the costs of restoring water-damaged crop land. “This includes a payment for the disposal of products spoiled in storage and the cleaning and disinfecting of equipment and storage bins,” Ritz said. He said the two levels of government are working together “to ensure these producers get the help they need to keep their land productive and help bolster their bottom line. “We want to ensure that our B.C. producers can get their businesses

back on track for 2011 and beyond.” McRae noted that vegetable growers in the Fraser Valley and parts of Vancouver Island dealt with “severe and excess moisture problems that left many crops sitting in fields, immersed underwater and unavailable for harvest. “We, not just in British Columbia, but across Canada want to see B.C. food at our farmer’s markets and our local grocery stores, on our dinner tables and at our restaurants.” Jack Bates is president of the Canadian Horticultural Council and runs Tecarte Farms, a 450-acre potato, blueberry and dairy operation in South Delta. “Having lived through the devastation in the potato and vegetable industry last season, I appreciate the efforts put forward by all producers, our associations, and both levels of government which led to today’s announcement of assistance,” he said.

“We want to ensure that our B.C. producers can get their businesses back on track...” Gerry Ritz acre funding announcement left some local growers wanting. “It was short of our expectations,” said Peter Guichon, who runs South Delta’s Felix Farms, the largest grower of potatoes in the province. He had hoped for $300 or $400 per acre. “But having said that, something is better than nothing,” he added. Last season Guichon said he left 9,000 tons of potatoes in the ground. He calculates he could

receive $70,000 for his 400 acres of affected land. Bill Zylmans, who runs the 500-acre W&A Farms in East Richmond, is a member of the working group that negotiated funding with the government. “It took a long time, it was a tough road for us to haul,” he said. Farmers had originally hoped for $1,200 per acre to represent losses, he said, but after closer examination and negotiations, that number was brought way down. “It’s not a lot of money, but it is a token of understanding and every little bit helps. As farmers, we’re in deep problems with finding funding anyway.” Zylmans estimates he lost $500,000 last season, largely due to unharvested seed potatoes, and is thankful he also grows strawberries and other summer vegetables to hedge his losses. “The hit was a lot harder for some of these Delta guys who really had everything in potatoes or everything in beans,” he said. He is scheduled to attend follow-up meetings to decide how the money will be divided among affected farmers. reporter@southdeltaleader.com

Black Press RAJ HUNDAL will be the NDP’s candidate in Surrey-

Tynehead in the next provincial election. The 32-year-old Vancouver parks board commissioner won the nomination on the first ballot. Hundal moved with his wife to Surrey six months ago and works for Progressive Intercultural Community Services. “I am committed to Surrey,” he said in an interview. “My whole family lives in Surrey.” Hundal, who has degrees in political science and law, listed health and the shortage of new schools as key issues in Tynehead. Hundal defeated challengers Lakhvinder Jhaj, Richard Koett and Diana Ng. Ren Morley, the NDP’s consitutency association president, said it was the first time members of Tynehead’s two largest visible minorities have faced each other in a nomination bid. Hundal has been credited with helping Adrian Dix land the NDP leadership earlier this year by recruiting new party members in Surrey.

32 Avenue widening is on track for 2012 Street to become four-lane arterial with bike lanes by Hannah Sutherland TRAFFIC VOLUMES on

32 Avenue through Grandview Heights have reached a level that requires the road to be widened. That’s according to Surrey’s general manager of engineering, who said the city has plans for 32 Avenue between 154 and 160 Streets to become a four-lane arterial, with bike lanes, a centre median and sidewalks. Vincent Lalonde said the design was initiated this year to address current and projected future traffic levels in the growing area, as well as a need for pavement repair. “When the pavement needs resurfacing, it’s usually a good time to do major works,” he said. The project was planned as part of the Grandview Heights Neighbourhood Concept Plan and is in the engineering department’s current 10-year servicing plan

for the area. Building was originally scheduled for the summer and fall of 2011, but has been pushed back to early next year or summer in order to consider residents’ thoughts on the project in the designs. In two public consultation meetings – 80 residents attended May 8 and nine on June 3 – attendees voiced concerns about traffic noise and potential loss of vegetation. “We’re redesigning certain elements to try to mitigate these issues,” Lalonde said, noting the city is exploring moving hydro poles to retain more vegetation, and is also looking into a type of pavement that could reduce road noise. “Also, just resurfacing to a smoother roadway would definitely be reduced road noise compared to the state the pavement is in today.” Citizens have also raised the issue of diesel

The city had requested it in the past and TransLink had not agreed.” Lalonde said the city is lobbying for funding for a new interchange on 16 Avenue. “It’s probably a more direct connection to Campbell Heights,” he said. “We’re hoping that whenever that interchange can be put in place, that would alleviate some of the trucks using 32 Avenue.” For more on the project, visit the City of Surrey’s webpage at http://bit.ly/n95ya9 or 32 Avenue Alliance’s site at http://www.deathby diesel.ca/ hsutherland@peacearchnews.com

‘Green’ gas hits B.C. marketplace

Quarry opposed Poor ﬁt with future park plans: Metro

Carbon-neutral biogas pitched at premium Vancouver sewage treatment plants in the future. The offering is billed as a way to choose a greener more sustainable way to heat homes and take action on climate change. “It’s an innovative approach that allows their customers to take action on climate change in a simple and cost-effective way,” said James Tansey, CEO of Offsetters, a carbon management firm that has endorsed the offering as carbon neutral. FortisBC estimates the program will save 5,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases in the first year, equal to taking 1,000 cars off the road. The program will initially run on a first-come first-served basis. “There’s limited supply of biogas for renewable natural gas,” FortisBC spokesman Marcus Wong said, adding it could be opened up to more customers or larger

can opt to pay more for green electricity, FortisBC is now offering to charge its customers more to support renewable natural gas projects and cut their carbon footprint. Those who sign on will pay about $4 extra per month to have 10 per cent of their home’s natural gas designated as from biogas sources, which avoids the extraction of fossil fuel gas. The methane is initially being captured at a landfill in Salmon Arm and generated from cattle manure at Catalyst Power Inc.’s new anaerobic digester in Abbotsford. It’s upgraded to pipeline quality before being pumped into the gas utility’s network. More biomethane is expected to flow into the gas grid from Metro

proportions of biogas use as supplies increase. There’s no locked-in contract – customers can opt out at any time at no cost. Subscribers pay 10 per cent less in carbon tax on their gas bills, because B.C.’s carbon tax applies on natural gas but not on carbon-neutral sources. It’s the first program of its kind in North America. Biogas so far costs more to produce than regular natural gas. FortisBC is expected to sign an agreement to buy biogas from Metro Vancouver’s Lulu Island sewage treatment plant at $13.40 per gigajoule – nearly triple the current market price of regular natural gas. That’s subject to regulatory approval and finalization of a Metroled project to enhance biogas generation at Lulu Island.

will oppose a new rock quarry spanning 310 acres on Sumas Mountain near Abbotsford. Metro parks committee chair Gayle Martin said Metro and the Fraser Valley Regional District are considering Sumas Mountain for a future park – building on the FVRD’s existing Sumas Mountain Regional Park – and the planned quarry would be a poor fit. “With a quarry there’s going to be blasting and trucks driving by,” Martin said after Metro board voted last month to oppose the proposal. The quarry could be operational within four months of approval, removing 225,000 metric tonnes of rock for up to 100 years.

Vipers victory in Penticton Boys soccer team wins B.C. championship by Rick Kupchuk THE GUILDFORD Vipers

added a fourth championship to a very successful season. The boys under-16 soccer team went undefeated at the Provincial B Cup tournament in Penticton last weekend, clinching the B.C. championship with a 4-2 win over Coquitlam Ford Liverpool. The Vipers qualified for the provincials with a victory at the Coastal B Cup final in April, a trophy they added to District Cup and League Cup honours won earlier in the season. Guildford rolled through round robin play, not allowing a goal in wins over the Terrace Kermodes (9-0), Penticton Pinnacles (5-0) and Creston (7-0). Devin Sylte was perfect in net, earning three consecutive shutouts. In the final against Coquitlam, Alex Bideau netted three goals and Mauricio Gomez added a single. The hat trick was the second of the tournament for Bideau, who also netted three against Terrace. Gomez also recorded a hat trick, tallying a trio of goals against Terrace. Other players on the B.C. championship team were Jeffrey Agostinho, Jasko Ajanovic, Ahmad Bhamji, Jefferson Garcia, Amauri Gomez, Jason Jassal, Dylan Jordan, Dorian Kolanczyk, Abdul Kulan, Joel Meszaros,

Jays looking for wins Premier League team chasing playoff berth by Rick Kupchuk PLAYING .500 baseball on the road has moved the North Delta Blue Jays a little closer to a B.C. Premier Baseball League playoff position. The Jays won two of four games last weekend in Victoria, making up some ground on the eighth-place Okanagan Athletics, who dropped all four games in Langley against the first place Blaze. North Delta still has nine games remaining on their schedule, and with a 15-24 (won-lost) record, will need at least six wins – and likely more – to sneak into the postseason. The Jays played twice against the Victoria Eagles Saturday afternoon, and dropped the first game 8-2, keeping the Eagles off the scoreboard in only two of

the six innings. Steven Van Vooght was the lone Blue Jay with more than one hit, collecting a pair of singles. North Delta trailed 4-1 after five innings in game two, but scored three times in the sixth and once more on the top of the seventh to force extra innings. Five runs off five hits in the top of the ninth was the difference in a 10-6 Jays victory. The Blue Jays totalled 12 hits in the game, four coming from Jeff Bouchard. The 18-year-old graduate of Sands Secondary had a double, two runs batted in and four runs scored. Shane Wlodarczak was twofor-four with two runs scored and one RBI. They faced the fourth-place Victoria Mariners twice on Sunday, and won the opener 1-0 on a complete-game shutout from

Bouchard. The starting pitcher allowed just six hits and a pair of walks while striking out four batters. Van Vooght scored the only run of the game in the fifth inning, drawing a walk to get on base then scoring when Cam Frick was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. North Delta was blanked 7-0 in the second game, with Shoma Sasaki collecting two of the Blue Jays’ five hits. The Blue Jays visit the Abbotsford Cardinals Thursday at Delair Park at 7 p.m. ■ The Fraser Valley Chiefs play their final four league games this weekend at Whalley Ball Park, hosting the Victoria Mariners for a double header Saturday at noon, then facing the Coquitlam Reds for two games Monday at 5:30 p.m.

Medical alert systems bring peace of mind Help will come quickly for the elderly or inďŹ rm

caregiving

DO YOU live alone or do you have an elderly or frail loved one that you must leave at home alone for long periods of time? Do you worry what would happen if you/they had a fall or needed medical attention? What if you/they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to the phone? A medical alert/personal emergency response system may provide you with the peace of mind youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for, knowing that help will be on the way if and when needed. Recently I had a family share their ordeal with just such a scenario. Daljit is a caregiver for her father Sohan Singh, who lives alone in his own home. Daljitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom passed away over a year ago and since then her father has chosen to live on his own, despite repeated requests from Daljit to move in with her. Sohan is 70 and wants to remain independent as long as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthy. Daljit visits him once a week, takes him shopping, cleans the family home and helps run any errands. Jas Recently though, Daljit was in total shock when she found her father on the bathroom floor. Sohan had been lying on the bathroom floor for more than 24 hours after having a fall in his bathroom. He had become disoriented and was unable to move or call for help. Tests at the hospital would reveal that Sohan was very lucky to only have a minor crack in his leg and some bruising. Though the injuries from the fall were minor, the whole incident left him scared and feeling very weak. Daljit was now worried about leaving her father alone but also knew she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put her life on hold

to stay at home with him. The answer for Daljit was to invest in a personal emergency response system for her father. There are many different kinds on the market, but most provide 24/7 monitoring service for frail elders and people with disabilities. The system hooks into a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s telephone system, with costs varying for installation and monthly monitoring services. There are many styles to choose from, such as wristbands or pendants that attach to necklaces. With the advances in technology, these systems can now automatically detect a fall and place a call for help. There are many local companies that provide these services and one should always do their research to make sure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting the best product and services that meet individual needs. A simple fall can have devastating consequences. Without immediate Cheema help, you may suffer pain, emotional distress, or experience serious secondary medical problems such as dehydration, hypothermia or pneumonia. These negative outcomes can be greatly reduced by receiving timely help through the assistance of a medical alert/personal emergency response system. For further information about caregiving support groups or if you have any questions, contact Jas Cheema, caregiving support coordinator, White Rock, Surrey Comeshare Society at 604-531-9400 or email jcheema@comeshare.ca

Metro: 5 different gas taxes From page B1 Clark Williams-Derry, an analyst with the Seattle-based Sightline Institute, agreed people are finding ways to burn less gas as they adapt to the new reality of higher prices. “If you have two cars – a Hummer and a Ford Focus – you’ll drive the more economical one more,” he said. It’s all translated into fewer miles logged on the roads and less gas being pumped, he said. Former Ontario Liberal MP Dan McTeague, a gasoline watchdog who now runs the site tomorrowsgaspricestoday.com, said motorists are right to be outraged by current prices. He said refiners’ margins have tripled in the past year, dismissing Ervin’s suggestions refining isn’t profitable enough. “Cry me a river,” McTeague said. “These are all massively integrated oil companies. If they’re not making money at retail, they’re making money at the refinery. If they’re not making money at the refinery, they’re making money at the exploration level.” Vancouver wholesale gas prices are about six cents higher than the equivalent cost in the U.S., he said. “If you add real competition and vigorous oversight, you’d be paying prices substantially less than you pay today.” McTeague agrees motorists should get over their obsession with tracking crude oil prices, which are largely irrelevant at the pump. But he said government should focus on speculators who use derivatives, futures and now exchange-traded funds to profit from gas price movements, creating artificial demand. “It’s not a free market,” McTeague said. “It sets the stage for not just volatility, but price manipulation.” Industry Minister Tony Clement has promised to ask petroleum refiners, distributors and retailers

to appear before a parliamentary committee to explain their pricing methods. Federal New Democrats want an ombudsman named and say the competition bureau should examine the issue.

Taxes take huge bite MOTORISTS FILLING up a tank of gas in Metro Vancouver get skewered by five different taxes that add a big chunk to the bill. TransLink gets the biggest piece – 15 cents in fuel tax for transit and roads charged on every litre of gas sold in Metro’s boundaries. The provincial government collects another 8.5 cents. The federal government then dings drivers a 10 cent excise tax, half of which it sends to TransLink. Then there’s the 5.46 cent carbon tax. Finally, the five per cent in federal Harmonized Sales Tax (the provincial portion is rebated at the pump) is added on top of everything else. When pump prices are $1.36, the tax-on-tax federal HST is worth 6.5 cents. Total taxes work out to about 45.5 cents a litre. For a 60-litre fill that means $26.70 out of the $81.60 cost are taxes, with about $12 ending up with TransLink. Motorists can look forward to the tax bite getting even bigger. Last week the regional mayors’ council voted in favour of increasing the gas tax take for the transit authority from the current 15 cents to 17 cents effective next April. Ottawa should follow Victoria’s lead and stop charging HST (GST in other provinces) on gasoline, said Canadian Taxpayers Federation B.C. director Gregory Thomas. Since the federal HST is charged last on top of all other taxes, it has the effect of compounding them. “It’s like a Dr. Seuss book,” Thomas said. “It’s a tax on a tax and a tax and a tax.”

Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reports 9.8 per cent increase

Home sales continue to rise Homes sales in Greater Vancouver are still increasing, according to a report by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. Residential property sales increased by 9.8 per cent in June, reaching 3,262 compared to 2,972 in June 2010. New listings on the Multiple Listing Service also rose, to 5,793 from 5,544 a year ago. This represents a 4.5 per cent increase. This is good news for buyers, as the increase in listings has made the market more balanced. “With sales below the 10-year average and home listings above what’s typical for the month, activity in June brought closer alignment between supply and demand in our marketplace,” says REBGV President Rosario Setticasi. “With a sales-to-active listings ratio

of nearly 22 per cent, it looks like we’re in the upper end of a balanced market.” The benchmark price on the MLSLink Housing Price Index has increased over the last 12 months by 8.7 per cent to $630,921 in June from $580,237 last year. “The largest price increases continue to be in the detached home market on the west side of Vancouver and in West Vancouver,” Setticasi says. “Since the end of May, the benchmark price of a detached home rose more than $147,000 on the west side of Vancouver and over $80,000 in West Vancouver.” The benchmark price of an apartment increased 3.5 per cent in June to $405,200, and attached property sales reached a benchmark price of $522,424, an increase of six per cent.

‘There hasn’t been an offering like this in a long time’

Edgewater a private paradise in Surrey by Kerry Vital

Your car purrs through the gated entryway, past the concierge house, and continues into a lushly landscaped courtyard. You pull into your underground parking space, and shut off the engine. All you hear is birdsong and the burbling of a creek. Welcome to your new home at Edgewater in South Surrey. Situated off a quiet cul-de-sac, Edgewater is the latest project from Barber Creek Development, and homes are selling quickly. “It’s like an exclusive private enclave,” says Cristy Edmonds, vice-president of sales and marketing for Fifth Avenue Marketing. “There hasn’t been an offering like this in a long time.” Bordered by the Nicomekl River and Barber Creek, Edgewater lives up to its name. Edmonds says that 80 per cent of the 14-acre property is park land and green space, making it the perfect place to unwind. Part of the appeal of the development is the large balconies or patios that are standard in every condominium suite so you will always have a beautiful view and space to relax with a morning cup of coffee. If you’re looking for somewhere else to unwind, homeowners at Edgewater have the use of an outdoor rooftop pool on the top of the development’s amenities building, called the Outlook. Inside, residences are given access to a fitness centre and yoga studio, entertainment room with a lounge and billiards tables, or a chef ’s kitchen and

You don’t have to give up entertaining,” says Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for Fifth Avenue Marketing Cristy Edmonds. private dining lounge. The building also includes a fully equipped media room and workshop. Even Fido will be at home in Edgewater, with its dog wash area and plenty of room to play outside. The development is made up of five three-storey wood frame buildings, each holding a variety of one- and twobedroom homes ranging from 680 to 1,058 square feet in the first phase. A big concern for people looking to downsize is the smaller space, and what it means for your social life. “You don’t have to give up entertaining,” says Edmonds, because there is plenty of space for dinner

parties, movie nights or just coffee with a friend. Each home includes a gourmet kitchen with no shortage of special touches. Among them are amazing floor-to-ceiling wood shakerstyle cabinets in a choice of white oak or dark maple, which are perfectly complemented by natural granite or quartz stone countertops with a matching tile backsplash. Buyers at Edgewater can expect a lifestyle filled with comfort and warmth. Tile flooring in the ensuite is heated to keep your feet warm on those cold Lower Mainland mornings, and nine-foot ceilings make the entire place feel open and airy, even on a rainy day. Bathrooms are made for pampering,

with walk-showers or a luxurious tub and separate shower combination in the ensuite, and natural marble countertops. Full-width bevelled mirrors are included, surrounded by stylish pot lights or pendant lamps to put everyone in the best light. In the living area, laminate hardwood flooring is available in your choice of two colours. An electric fireplace lends a soft glow to the room, surrounded by limestone tile and a hand-crafted wood mantle that adds a touch of elegance to an already beautiful room. Homes at Edgewater start at $199,900. For more information visit www.edgewaterliving.com or call 604-535-9655.
