Watts to stick with Surrey
Secondary suite bylaw moves ahead
‘Manor homes’ with multiple suites proposed
Mayor won’t seek Liberal leadership by Kevin Diakiw SURREY MAYOR Dianne Watts
by Kevin Diakiw SURREY IS forging ahead with a secondary
suite bylaw, allowing one of the units per single-family dwelling. And in some instances, more than one suite will be allowed. Surrey has grappled with illegal suites for 35 years and is the last city in the region to regulate them. Coun. Linda Hepner said that gives the city the advantage of building a Surrey solution based on the best practices of the cities that have already formed laws. On Monday night, Surrey council instructed Linda Hepner staff to come forward with a bylaw that also ensures each of the homes with suites is inhabited by the property owner, and that homes with multiple suites will be shut down. Homes with coach houses (exterior suites) will not be eligible to put a suite in the home, and any property with a suite will have to provide one extra off-street spot for parking.

Michael Middelaer comforts his wife Laurel outside Surrey Provincial Court on Friday afternoon, following the sentencing of Carol Berner, who was convicted in 2008 for killing the Middelaer’s four-year-old daughter Alexa and injuring the girl’s aunt. Berner, 58, was found guilty of impaired driving causing death and bodily harm and dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm. On Monday, Berner’s defence counsel launched an appeal of her convictions and 30-month jail sentence. For the full story, see page 3.
will not run for the leadership of the B.C. Liberal Party, citing provincial disconnect with the public and the “hostile” environment of B.C. politics as some of the reasons why. Watts told The Leader Friday she refuses to put herself into that setting. The search for a new Liberal leader became necessary last month when Premier Gordon Campbell announced his resignation amid plummeting popularity. Watts, who has been touted by many as one of the best hopes to resurrect the flagging Liberal party, said there are systemic problems with B.C. politics, not the least of which is a huge disconnect between the wishes of the public and the wants of politicians. “I’m aligned with the general public in lookDianne Watts ing for that change,” Watts said. “I’m not aligned with the political system that governs the province or the country.” She says she’s “honoured and humbled” by the support she’s received from across the province.

Suites: ‘This is the first step’ From page 1 Hepner has a some concerns regarding allowing suites on the smaller lots (27 feet wide), while requiring extra off-street parking. She doesn’t want communities to begin paving their front lawns to allow more parking. She also has issues regarding regulating houses with multiple suites. The newly designated “manor homes” could contain more than one suite, but homeowners would have to face the rigours of a public hearing before it would be allowed. “These ‘manor houses’ would contain multiple dwelling units that are similar to the scale and look to a single family house, and could be built on smaller parcels that would be typical for a townhouse or apartment project,” a staff report to council states. Coun. Marvin Hunt said the manor homes allow communities that want multiple suites to legalize them. “This is going to be the way to deal with the multiple suites in areas where the whole area has multiple suites,” Hunt said. There are also some areas, such as West Panorama Ridge, where residents don’t want secondary Marvin Hunt suites at all. Those communities would be able to apply to Surrey council to place restrictions so that the secondary dwellings wouldn’t be allowed there. That process would be similar to downzonings in past years in St. Helen’s Park and Royal Heights to stave off so-called monster homes. The report to council Monday will begin the process of crafting a bylaw to address the secondary suite issue in Surrey. Many of the finer details will be contained within that bylaw. “This is the first step, this is what I was generally after,” Hunt said. The staff recommendations were unanimously endorsed. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

“There may come a time when I look at provincial politics... but right now, I have a finite amount of time with my children... and I don’t know that there is anything worth sacrificing that for.” Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts
Politics: Current system is hostile, mayor says From Page 1 “I think that really speaks more that people want a change,” Watts said. “The general public is looking for something other than what they’ve had.” She said politics in B.C. has become a bit of a blood sport in the past decade. “I believe that (VANOC CEO) John Furlong said it best when he stated he would not be entering politics: ‘It seems like there is no bottom to how cruel we can be to each other – the environment has become so openly hostile.’ This summarizes why so many people ultimately decide not to enter public life.” Watts believes there needs to be a wholesale change in provincial politics. “I think the current system we have right
now and the environment in which politicians function and how they’re expected to fill out a mandate is very hostile,” Watts said. “Often politicians don’t like the way the general public treats them, but in the same context, they have to look at how they treat one another.” She points out we expect our kids to interact with each other better in school. “When these are leaders of our community, you need to take a look at how you’re treating your colleagues,” Watts said. “I’ve got to think long and hard whether I would want to put myself in that environment, and I can’t imagine who would want to – I think we’ve lost a lot of good people because of that. “Right now, it is such a hostile environment, very few people want to set foot in it,” Watts said. Watts said she spoke with former finance
minister Carole Taylor some time ago about running and Taylor declined. Like Furlong, she said, Taylor feels politics brings out how cruel people can be to one another. Adding to her decision not to run is her family, always a high priority for Watts. One of her girls is graduating from high school this year, while the other is in Grade 10. “As mayor, I fight for every moment I have with my children,” Watts said. “I’m really enjoying my time with them. There may come a time when I look at provincial politics in a different way, but right now, I have a finite amount of time with my children at the age that they are and I don’t know that there is anything worth sacrificing that for.” Also see MLA FALCON / Page 5

• In accepting the testimony of the same witness; and • In finding Berner guilty of impaired driving based on the evidence presented. Tarnow asked for relief in the form of an acquittal, a judicial stay of proceedings or a new trial. Regarding sentencing, Tarnow cited two grounds for appeal: • That Gulbransen erred in law by allowing prosecutors to present victim impact statements which included a multi-media presentation and pictorial essays; and • That the sentence was “excessive in all the circumstances.” Defence wants Berner’s sentence reduced to a suspended sentence and probation. A bail application is scheduled to be heard this Friday in Court of Appeal chambers in Vancouver. The Middelaers “have no interest” in hearing Berner’s appeal, Laurel Middelaer said. Middelaer, a principal at Southridge School in South Surrey, said while she and her husband, Michael, felt validated by the sentence handed Berner – considering that case law supports much lighter sentences – she was hardpressed to call it a victory. “Although we’re very grateful to see that there was a sentence given, it just, it’s such a small sentence. If denunciation is really what the purpose is… we have a hard time understanding why the sentence is so light,” she said. “Even our (10-year-old) son Christian… said to us, ‘Why did that guy (referring to convicted gay-basher Shawn Woodward, who last week received a six-year sentence for assault-
ing a 62-year-old man) get six years, and Alexa’s dead and the lady only got two-and-a-half years?’ “It’s really hard to try to explain to him this is the way it is.” At sentencing Friday, Berner stood quietly and then turned to the two members of her family seated in the front row of the courtroom to mouth “I love you” before she was taken into custody. In addition to the jail time, Gulbransen handed Berner a five-year driving ban. Four-year-old Alexa was at the side of a Ladner road with her aunt feeding a horse when they were hit by a vehicle driven by Berner. Alexa did not survive, and her aunt, Daphne Johanson, was seriously injured. Crown prosecutor Kim Wendel had asked for a sentence of three to five years for each of the four counts, to be served concurrently. Tarnow asked for no jail time, noting David Tarnow Berner has already been punished and vilified by the media and the public. In making his decision, Gulbransen said the offence involved a high degree of moral culpability and “there is no question I must impose a prison sentence” to deter others from drinking and driving. He also took into consideration that Berner had no previous criminal record, no evidence of addiction to alcohol and was a normal, law-abiding citizen prior to the crash that took Alexa’s life. “In my view the accused is remorseful,” Gulbransen said.

The party executive has recommended a shift to a weighted system that would give more power to party members in rural B.C. Falcon said he’s sympathetic to the argument the new leader should not in effect be selected solely by Lower Mainland voters. “Any prospective leader needs to demonstrate they have support across the province,” he said. Falcon said a vigorous race with lots of candidates would be great. “My view is the more the merrier,” Falcon said. “Leadership races are a fantastic way to energize the base of the party, to expand the base of a party.” Watts, who announced Sunday she won’t run, said she met with Taylor and urged her to enter the race. Watts said provincial politics right now is “very hostile”, adding it’s important for her to preserve time with her children and continue her work as
mayor in Surrey. She did not rule out entering provincial
politics further in the future. jnagel@surreyleader.com

RAESIDE
Liberal loss, our gain
C
itizens of Surrey: You can breathe a collective sigh of relief. It turns out Mayor Dianne Watts won’t go for it after all – the Liberal leadership, that is. As The Leader revealed online Sunday afternoon, Watts is taking a pass on provincial politics, at least for now. She wants to spend as much time as she can with her two teenage daughters, who will soon be busy with their own young adult lives. But Watts also said the current “hostile” environment of politics – both provincial and federal – gave her pause. “Often politicians don’t like the way the general public treats them, but in the same context, they have to look at how they treat one another,” she said, adding in B.C., running the province has become a bit of a blood sport. This is not a surprising stance for Watts, a former Surrey councillor who half-adozen years ago took on then-mayor Doug McCallum precisely because she didn’t care for what she characterized as bullying tactics at city hall. The public obviously agreed. Watts has been a hugely popular mayor since her election to the top civic seat in 2005. Her Surrey First team (not an official slate, she has been careful to point out), has brought a calm consensus to a council historically divided by party politics. And her vision for a cleaner, greener, safer community is paying dividends: Falling crime rates, environmentally progressive programs and infrastructure, robust commercial and residential construction, and an evolving downtown core that promises to outshine Vancouver’s bright lights. Although Watts’ reign is not without criticism (most notably an ineffective tree preservation bylaw and an absence of secondary suite regulation), there is no question the city has prospered on her watch. There is much more on the horizon for Canada’s fastest-growing municipality and the region’s second Metro centre. (For a glimpse of what’s already underway as well as what’s in the works, look for The Leader’s special publication – Surrey in Focus: The Future – inside this edition of the newspaper). For Watts to turn her back on the success story Surrey has become in order to chase a political opportunity would not have sat well with voters or Liberal party members. Fortunately, that’s just not her style. Like all good leaders, Watts wants to steer her plans through to the finish. Lucky us.

ritish Columbia’s first-ever citizen initiative ballot question couldn’t be much simpler. Next Sept. 24, those voters who take the time to head down to the polling booth will check Yes or No to the following: “Are you in favour of extinguishing the HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) and reinstating the PST (Provincial Sales Tax) in conjunction with the GST (Goods and Services Tax)?” When Premier Gordon Campbell announced a few weeks ago that the government would abide by a simple majority vote, I said it would be “mission impossible” for the HST to survive. Its chances may now have improved from “none” to “slim.” The question at least frames the only practical choice. Keep the HST or go back to sales tax status quo, without the refund that petitioner Bill Vander Zalm conjured up to attract signatures.

Then there is the personal income tax cut, which like the HST is intended to attract investment and jobs. Hansen has already notified the Canada Revenue Agency of the 15 per cent reduction, so the income tax deducted from your paycheque will be reduced starting Jan. 1. That tax cut will put about $600 million a year into the B.C. consumer economy, a stimulus that will show up in government revenues. But the ministry forecasts it will be several years before growth fills the revenue hole. Hansen insisted that even with the income tax cut, the B.C. government can still get out of deficit by 2013 and have some “flexibility” in this spring’s budget. All this of course rests on the assumption of an economy growing and recovering from recession. Indulging in the latest wacky B.C. political protest would almost certainly weaken that recovery.

Accident victim ignored WHAT HAS society come to?
My daughter was involved in a motor vehicle accident on Oct. 29 between 7:50 and 8 a.m. at the intersection of 88 Avenue and 140 Street. It was a bad enough accident that it left her car not drivable, so there it sat in the intersection with her inside and both airbags deployed. Not one person offered assistance or stopped to see if she was all right, or even to be a witness to what had happened. I’m disgusted in society that we have come to the point that our busy lives have kept us from our obligation to help out our fellow humans in a time of crisis. There was even a TransLink bus driver that only honked and waved for her to move out of his way. All these people could do was give her rude hand gestures and honk at her instead of offering her a helping hand. So to all those people that witnessed her accident, I would hope that when you or your loved one is in need of some assistance one day that someone will have the heart and the sense of decency to lend a hand. If you would like to come forward and offer information as to what you witnessed you can contact us at 604-597-2107.

Surrey/North Delta Leader
PM brings Canada to a ‘new low’ RE: LETTERS from Kenneth Lawrence on Can-
ada’s not winning a seat on the United Nations Security Council. On hand, he is applauding losing the seat because he sees the UN as some sort of “antiIsrael entity” akin to the “New Holocaust Club.” Then he takes a dig at Michael Ignatieff for being partly responsible for losing the seat he says he’s glad he lost. It is clear this guy is nothing more than an abashed Harper supporter whether the PM is right or wrong.
The United Nations is of course much more than a forum for nations to vent accusations at each other, it is involved in many humanitarian missions all over the world. And we were a proud supporter of peacekeeping missions until Harper came along. Frankly, I am ashamed the world now sees us as just some other country that has turned inward and picked sides on issues that are more complex than who’s right and who’s wrong. The current prime minister, who I might add at the eleventh hour attempted to “buy” a
seat by wining and dining many UN members in order to garner support for a seat on the security council, had marginalized this once proud country to the sidelines of international politics. Thanks Steve, for sinking our stature to a new low. Harper once said “we would not recognize Canada when he finished with it.” What we did not realize was he meant to ruin it.
RE: GIVING pit bulls a break.
I am the proud owner of a very loyal and loving pitbull. She does not have an aggressive bone in her body. She loves to play with other dogs and absolutely loves my eight- and 10-year-old daughters, and of course if you have daughters, you know they dress up everything, including my pitbull. She really doesn’t like it much but calmly waits until they are done. We have worked hard to socialize her and are proud of her. Thank you, Delta, for lifting the ridiculous breed-specific legislation. Darcy Walmsley

Bagpiper Jeff Sim leads a procession of cadets and dignitaries towards the Remembrance Day ceremony at the North Delta Social Heart Plaza Thursday morning.
THERE SEEMS to be a lot more attention given this year to the importance of the Nov. 11 celebration and in particular, to the honouring of veterans. I would like to relate an incident that meant very much to myself and my wife. On Wednesday, Nov. 10, at a retail store on the King George Boulevard, as we went to pay for our purchase I gave the cashier a $20 bill. As he reached for it, a nice lady grabbed it and gave it back to me and said “I will pay for this.” I questioned her and she said “you are a veteran and in appreciation, I will pay for this.” It drove my wife to tears that a stranger would do this and this nice woman shook my hand two or three times as she expressed her uncalled for gratitude. Also as we returned to our vehicle, there was a floral bouquet under the windshield wiper with a note attached saying “Thank you to our veterans.” I would like to thank this person or persons for this honour they bestowed to us. Many, many thanks, whoever you are. Gordon Lee, Surrey
Suggestions for Remembrance Day service WE WERE THANKFUL, proud, and
humbled to be able to attend the Remembrance Day service in downtown Cloverdale last week. There was a huge crowd, and it seems to grow bigger each year; it is heartwarming to see so many who take the time to show they care. To truly be part of an experience, it is important for everyone to be able to see and hear what is happening. Our only regret in going to the ceremony was our inability to do either of these during the service. In discussing the event afterward, we thought of a few ideas that might help. Perhaps next year the powers that be could consider the following suggestions: • Mount speakers on the surrounding buildings so the sound
isn’t absorbed by people in the front row. • Mount a large screen TV on the old municipal building and project the ceremony with live
feed, possibly from a camera mounted in a second-floor window of the museum. • Set the players of taps and the bagpipe dirge on a dais, so
City’s help appreciated NOVEMBER IS volunteer appreciation month in Surrey.
We are a team of grandmothers who have been volunteering in the Whalley area for seven years. Our goal has been to clean up areas that are unsightly and to see restoration of areas that were dominated by drugs and homelessness. We believe it is important that children be in an atmosphere of beauty and safety. We would like to thank the city workers and bylaw officers that have been there to assist and help us in removal of garbage and graffiti. We encourage all citizens of Surrey to make sure our parks and roadways are free of garbage and that empty lots will not be used for furniture dumping. We would like our city to be known as the cleanest and best place to live in all of Canada. Birgit and John Hansen Renee Ryser Rebecca Ferguson
that they can be seen and heard by the larger group, not just the people in front. • Detour traffic on Highway 10 between 180 Street and Pacific Highway for the hour or so while the service is on. (If we can detour traffic for parades, surely we can do it to honour our veterans); or • Set the red lights at these two intersections during the two minutes of silence, the playing of taps, and the dirge, so that big trucks and noisy cars aren’t drowning out the sense of quiet and meditation at that time. In closing, we want to say we are proud of what the young men of the Canadian Armed Forces have done in the past and are doing now, to stand up for peace, safety and freedom for our country and the world.

Panghali trial begins RECORDS OF cellphone use and circumstantial evidence will show a Surrey man killed his pregnant wife, a Crown prosecutor told a New Westminster courtroom Monday. Mukhtiar Panghali, 38, is Manjit charged with the second-degree murder of his 30-year-old wife Panghali Manjit, whose burned body was found beside the Deltaport Way truck route in South Delta on Oct. 23, 2006.

New station positions city for greener future by Jeff Nagel A NEW HYDROGEN fuel-
ling station now open in Surrey is powering up hopes the alternative fuel may run everything from cars to trains down the road. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said the new station, in the city’s operations works yard at 66 Avenue and 148 Street, lays the groundwork for greater use of hydrogen fuel in the future and will help the municipality meet its commitment to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 20 per cent by 2020. “As we move away from fossil fuels, we have to look at other alternatives for clean energy,� Watts said. “We’ll be testing the technology.� Surrey is using two of just a handful of zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell cars in use in the Lower Mainland but could get more through a partnership with PowerTech Labs. The city aims to add 21 alternative fuel vehicles to its municipal fleet over the next year. The station is the first in Canada to be run by a municipality, although there is one other hydrogen fuel station already in Surrey at Powertech (88Avenue and 123 Street) and five others in
Burnaby (Ballard Fuel), North Vancouver, UBC, Whistler and Vancouver Airport. The two Surrey stations reinforce the city’s position as a leader in the technology, Watts said. Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association consultant Ron Harmer said significant numbers of hydrogen-powered cars will start to hit the consumer market by 2015. Adding another fueling station is important, he said, because car companies like Nissan, Daimler and Toyota that will roll out more hydrogen vehicles will look first to cities and regions with adequate infrastructure. The hydrogen for the new Surrey station comes from Powertech’s existing Surrey plant, where the B.C. Hydro subsidiary electrolyzes water into hydrogen. Because the hydrogen is made in Surrey, it’s counted as cleaner than the hydrogen powering Whistler’s fleet of buses, which has to be trucked in from Quebec because of the larger volumes required. A much bigger and greener local source of the fuel could come on stream. Large amounts of hydrogen created as an

industrial byproduct at a chemical plant in North Vancouver and now vented into the air may be trapped and collected in the future. “There’s enough hydrogen there to fuel something like 20,000 vehicles per year,� Harmer said. “If we’re actually producing it ourselves locally from a waste stream, this

“We were all totally surprised and completely overwhelmed when the police showed up with the food,” Sigler said. “Now we can use the money we would have spent on food helping animals in other ways.” Hill’s Science Diet provides all BC SPCA shelters with dog food free of charge; the shelters only pay for shipping. However, Sigler wasn’t expecting her next order of food to arrive until Friday (Nov. 12), which meant the shelter would have to purchase at least a week’s worth of the pet-
store quality dog food at retail price. Instead Surrey RCMP officers and staff appealed to their fellow officers, civilian members and the public for assistance, and managed to buy and get donated more than enough dog food to meet the shelter’s needs. The amount of food brought in by the officers more than compensated for the amount stolen. The 152 Street shelter has been broken into almost a dozen times in the last three years alone. Culprits have taken items of little value, such as obsolete computer equipment and even an outdated VCR once, but never dog food. This time, crooks sliced through a latch on a locked storage shed and absconded with 12 50-pound bags of adult dog food, eight 50-pound bags of puppy food and all the sample packs given to new adopters. The cat food was left untouched. The officers, who wished to remain anonymous, said they saw a need, and were simply happy to help.

Animal shelter investigated SPCA follows up on cruelty complaints by Tracy Holmes THE OWNER of a South Surrey rescue shelter and talent agency is under investigation for animal cruelty, following complaints from the public regarding the animals in his care. But Gary Oliver says he believes the BC SPCA is simply trying to make an example of him in their quest to rid B.C. of exotic animals. “They’ve got nothing on me, they really don’t,” Oliver said Wednesday. Oliver, who runs the non-profit Urban Safari Rescue Society and Cinemazoo Animal Agency, took over space at 1395 176 St. – the former home of the Rainforest Reptile Refuge – in August. The animals he cares for include everything from insects and birds to snakes and caimans. Concerns were raised by the public last month, said BC SPCA’s Eileen Drever, who is investigating the complaints. An initial visit to the facility resulted in “a number of orders”

ber and welfare of the animals,” Drever said. She noted necropsies ordered on caimans that died recently at the facility are hoped to help
determine if the animals were neglected. “Mr. Oliver states that he’s doing the best that he can, but if animals have suffered as a result, that’s not good enough.” Oliver has been given a deadline to address the issues raised, the society’s Lorie Chortyk said. She declined to name specifics, citing the ongoing investigation, but noted if he doesn’t comply, legal action could be the next step. Oliver is confident the BC SPCA is responding to complaints from a disgruntled employee who “tried to stir up a can of worms.” And while Chortyk noted the Ministry of Environment is conducting a separate investigation in regards to the exotic animals in Oliver’s care, Oliver said he is on “good terms” with the ministry. Drever said the BC SPCA is “trying to be reasonable.” “We want to help him along. We’re just out to ensure the animals’ welfare is being taken care of.”

Taking a Good Look at CENTRAL CITY: GIVE THE GIFT OF LOVE CAMPAIGN Surrey City Centre Written by Sylvia Taylor On Tuesday, October 26 over 300 business leaders from north of the Fraser were invited to take a good look at the changes happening in Surrey City Centre. The event started with a FAM (familiarization) tour of the area. One coach was hosted by Councillor Marvin Hunt and the other by local developer, Charan Sethi. Starting from Central City Plaza, the attendees were shown the future location of City Hall, the new City Centre Library under construction and WestStone Properties residential development. The tour then proceeded past Holland Park and Concord Paci¿c’s Park Place Towers into the Hospital Precinct. They were shown the new Outpatient Care facility on Fraser Highway designed by Kasian Architects, and then had a sneak peek of E Division in Green Timbers, soon to be home to over 2700 RCMP employees. The tour then visited the Quattro Development, the proposed Gateway Business Park on 108 Avenue and the recently-opened Chuck Bailey Recreation Centre. When the coaches returned to Central City, the attendees were invited to a reception in the Dale Regehr Grand Hall at SFU Surrey. Being inside the iconic Bing Thom building is always impressive to ¿rst time visitors and, judging from their comments, the attendees were not disappointed. Greeting the attendees were over sixty local business leaders, ready to inform the guests about the many plans happening in the area. Everyone was welcomed by Robert Dominick, President of the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association and Elizabeth Model, Executive Director. Mayor Dianne Watts then introduced the City’s senior management team, lead by General Manager, Murray Dinwoodie, and assured the guests that Surrey was open and ready for business. Guests networked and viewed the many display boards outlining the developments currently underway in Downtown Surrey. “It was surprising how many of the guests hadn’t been south of the Fraser and had no idea what was happening in Surrey,” said Model. Given the success and positive comments from guests, another tour is planned in 2011.
Central City is celebrating community and the Season of Giving with a whirlwind of wonderful events that make it easy to give the gift of love and make a difference. “We want to be a really good community partner and bring the outside community inside; to join forces in making this area the best place to be,” says Michelle Mackay, Marketing and Communication Manager for Blackwood Partners Management Corporation at Central City.

ADOPT-A-FAMILY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON Written by Sylvia Taylor This year, the Surrey Christmas Bureau expects to help 2,000 families through their Adopt-A-Family Program.
“Go to the website (www.christmasbureau.com), read the guidelines, decide on budget, and family size, then phone, fax or email us the request,” explains Shiles.
Each November, Fran Shiles leads a group of 6 to 10 dedicated volunteers who spend the seven weeks before Christmas matching groups and businesses with families in need.
Once the Adopt-A-Family volunteers get a request from a sponsor, they are matched with a registered family as soon as possible. The family is then contacted to find out if there are food allergies and special wishes for the children. “We always say - if your budget allows, a little something for mom and/or dad would be nice,” says Shiles.
The Adopt-A-Family Program served 251 families in 2000 and grew to over 1900 in 2009. And if there are families that wish to be adopted, there is a need for people to step forward to adopt them. Individuals, groups, families, businesses, clubs, schools, churches and groups of all kinds step forward every year to spread the holiday spirit to less fortunate families.
Shiles points out that “several clients from previous years are now coming forward to adopt families as a way to pay back as they are now able to help others and want to pay it forward.”

Missing dog rescued from Fraser
Hanging on Haniff Knight lifts Krystal Kohan (left) and Elena Sketchley in a Ukrainian dance during a dress rehearsal by the Surrey Celebration Dance Team on Sunday at the Newton Cultural Centre. The rehearsal was in preparation for a Tuesday night performance at the Surrey Arts Centre.
Pooch had disappeared the dog, so they called the Coast Guard in the meantime. A half hour later the fisherman spotted the animal again and staff were called back to rescue the pet. “We eventually chased it off the log boom and into the water and nabbed it,” said Laza. The dog, a female Catahoula mix named Kaleigh, had already been reported missing by her owner. She had traveled quite far, said Laza, across the river from North Delta.

HST question released Referendum wording to be debated by Tom Fletcher “ARE YOU in favour of extinguishing
the HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) and reinstating the PST (Provincial Sales Tax) in conjunction with the GST (Goods and Services Tax)?” That’s the wording of the referendum question submitted to the B.C. government by acting Chief Electoral Officer Craig James. The wording of the question will be debated in the B.C. legislature when it convenes in February, and is scheduled to be put to a province-wide vote on Sept. 24, 2011. Premier Gordon Campbell has said the government will abide by the will of a simple majority of voters who cast a ballot.
James said he “agonized” over the wording of the question for several weeks, beginning with a longer question to represent the intent of the voter initiative sponsored by former premier Bill Vander Zalm. In the end he decided to shorten the question to make it as clear and simple as possible. Left out of the question is the petition’s demand that any extra tax collected under the HST since it came into effect in July be repaid. James said he will listen to the MLAs’ debate on the question, but he has the final say and he would “need to be persuaded” that changes are necessary.

New rules may decide Liberal leadership Battle over how the vote is conducted underway in backrooms by Jeff Nagel A TUG-OF-WAR between the
rural and urban factions of the B.C. Liberal party over voting rules will be critical in deciding the next leader and premier, B.C. political analyst David Schreck says. The party executive is recommending a move away from the current one-partyone-vote system for choosing a leader to one that would give each of the 85 constituencies equal weight. Schreck said the proposed change would have a massive impact on the outcome.
“The balance of power shifts from the Fraser Valley – Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford – to the Interior,” he said. “It means a member in Bill Bennett’s riding in the Kootenays would have the power of 100 or 200 members in Surrey.” Schreck said Surrey and Fraser Valley Liberal activists are likely battling behind the scenes to head off the new formula favouring the hinterland, which must pass by a two-thirds vote of party members at an extraordinary convention Feb. 12. The new system might also deter mass membership

Tax hike not written in stone, mayors told Vote yes on property tax increases now, negotiate better option later: TransLink by Jeff Nagel METRO VANCOUVER
mayors are being urged to jack TransLink property taxes to finance the Evergreen Line and other transit upgrades on the hope the tax hike can be switched to a more palatable revenue mechanism next year. They will not vote on imposing a vehicle levy to fund transit expansion – at least not yet. TransLink board chair Dale Parker said public opposition to a vehicle levy was “particularly strong” and it’s not a practical option now because it would require provincial government support to collect it efficiently. Metro mayors were briefed last Tuesday on the proposed financial supplement for TransLink, which goes to a vote Dec. 9. The basic option before the mayors would commit TransLink to raise $465 million for TransLink’s share of the $1.4-billion Evergreen SkyTrain line to Coquitlam and the first phase of the North Fraser Perimeter Road. That would cost the average $692,000 home an extra $36.36 in increased tax starting in 2012 ($5.25 per $100,000). Had the vehicle levy, dubbed the Transportation Improvement Fee, been used, it would have instead charged every registered vehicle $15 to $55, depending on the carbon footprint. The board recommends the mayors approve a broader option – dubbed “Moving Forward” – that adds on another $338 million in bus service and SkyTrain station upgrades. That would lift the taxes on an average home by $61.65 a year ($8.91 per $100,000). “Daily we hear demands for additional
transit in under-served areas or where daily demand is overloading the system,” Parker said. TransLink cannot propose a funding supplement to the mayors that isn’t financed from sources it has available, although new ones could be on the horizon through ongoing talks with Victoria in line with an accord struck in September. The proposal would see the mayors pencil in the property tax hike for now to ensure work begins on schedule next year on the Evergreen Line and perimeter road. Because TransLink has saved $40 million from its budget this year, it doesn’t need to start collecting the higher property tax right away, buying time for the mayors and province to negotiate. That means a tax hike approved now could be erased by 2012, before it even kicks in, and be swapped with different funding sources – such as road pricing, a share of carbon tax or even the vehicle levy. “Can this get us far enough down the road that it gives us time to find other solutions?” regional mayors’ council chair Peter Fassbender asked. The scenario requires trust – some mayors fear no deal will materialize with the province after they sign off, leaving them stuck with unwanted tax hikes. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said she will likely vote against both options rather than “gamble with my taxpayers’ dollars.” Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said further property tax hikes are unacceptable so he’ll also likely reject both options. “Given that the province appears to want TransLink to use property taxes,

would be found.” But Coquitlam Mayor
Richard Stewart said the region can’t renege on its
past pledges and mayors must vote for one of the two options. “It’s put up or shut up time,” he said. “The Evergreen Line is two-thirds funded. We need to come up with our third.” Stewart said he’s troubled some mayors either “don’t remember the commitment or don’t understand the implications.” The province intends to issue a request for proposals on the Evergreen Line in early 2011. Parker said TransLink
must approve a financing supplement to deliver its share now if it’s to be an equal partner and to preserve federal contributions for both the new SkyTrain line and the perimeter road. Transportation minister Shirley Bond has hinted the government may unilaterally act to ensure TransLink raises the money if mayors vote down the supplement.

TransLink: Other options pondered From page 17 would provide a better chance to consider how to implement something like the vehicle levy, noting there’s been talk of options like adjusting the rate depending on the level of local transit service. He said TransLink’s plan to introduce smart card payment will also open up intriguing options like rebating vehicle levy or road pricing fees collected back to motorists in the form of transit credits, encouraging them to switch modes some of the time. “When you pay that fee you get an equivalent amount of transit fares built into that card,” Fassbender suggested. “That way we not only raise revenue but also help to shift behaviour.” If one of the two options is approved it will be the second financial lift for TransLink in as many years, following a $130-million annual increase okayed last year through higher fares, parking tax and fuel taxes to stabilize the authority’s finances.
Much new money goes to bus service THE MORE expansive “Mov-

ing Forward” set of upgrades proposed by TransLink would add 425,000 hours of bus service across the region. Half of that would go to the South of Fraser area. But all corners of Metro Vancouver would benefit.
Notable improvements would include limited-stop B-Line express bus service on 104 Avenue and King George Boulevard in Surrey, connecting Guildford and White Rock to Surrey Central Station. Also on the list is Bus Rapid Transit on Highway 1 over the Port Mann Bridge in 2013 after the new span opens. A new White Rock-to-Langley bus service every 30 minutes would connect White Rock, Willowbrook and Campbell Heights. Connecting transit service to Lonsdale Quay on the North Shore would be upgraded and TransLink has indicated there’s also potential to increase SeaBus service to every 15 minutes all day, every day. Extra money would also be added for road work and cycling projects.

Saying no to tax hike
NOVEMBER NOVEMBER 24 24
Surrey to vote against TransLink proposal
INFORMATION NOVEMBER 24
by Jeff Nagel SURREY MAYOR Dianne Watts will
vote against authorizing a TransLink property tax hike to fund the Evergreen Line. “We can’t fund the system on property tax. We have to have a comprehensive sustainable funding policy,� Watts said. Metro mayors vote Dec. 9 on two options tabled by the TransLink board to finance its share of the $1.4-billion Evergreen Line to Coquitlam and the first phase of the North Fraser Perimeter Road – projects in danger of losing $500 million in federal funding without a final green light. Although mayors and the provincial government agreed in September to explore a variety of other potential new funding options for TransLink, none of those possibilities – including a vehicle levy – are ready for implementation. Rather than vote in a property tax hike increase now and attempt to switch it back to another source later, as TransLink officials suggest, Watts said it’s best to simply wait and negotiate new funding sources with the province
next year. “There’s many options,� she said. “We need to look at road pricing. We need to look at fair tolling. We need to look at carbon tax. There’s all sorts of options to come back with a sustainable funding source.� Surrey residents already contribute significantly to TransLink, she added, so that must be taken into account in crafting new mechanisms. “Surrey gives into the system $44 million in property taxes every year and another $100 million in gas taxes. So our contribution is $144 million,� Watts said. “There’s already a toll on the Golden Ears, there’s going to be tolls on the Port Mann and there’s going to be tolls on the new Pattullo Bridge.� The tax hike proposed by TransLink would be at least $36 for an average $692,000 home – $65 if a broader package of bus service and SkyTrain station upgrades are added. Had the vehicle levy, dubbed the Transportation Improvement Fee, been used, it would have instead charged every registered vehicle $15 to $55, depending on the carbon footprint, or $30 to $90 for the larger set of upgrades.

Mike Krgovich traded to Coquitlam – via Salmon Arm
Former Eagle now with Express by Larry Pruner THE COQUITLAM Express went
looking for somebody to turn around their fortunes and, oddly enough, found him last week in virtually their own back yard. Express defenceman Riley McIntosh could have pointed him out much sooner – 17 years ago, in fact. Losers of eight straight, the Express traded to acquire highscoring Coquitlam native Mike Krgovich from the Salmon Arm Silverbacks, to whom he had yet to report since they acquired the 20-year-old forward in a recent swap with the Surrey Eagles. To collar Krgovich, who racked up 53 points in 56 games with Surrey last season, the Express shipped secondMike Krgovich year forward Paul De Jersey and rookie defenceman Justin Elliott to Shuswap country. Krgovich and McIntosh, also of Coquitlam, were first introduced to each other by their dads while playing Tyke out of the old Annex arena. But until now, the pair of 20-year-olds had yet to toil on the same team. “Riley’s been one of my best friends since we were three years old,” Krgovich told Black Press last Wednesday morning, before the pair were to suit up for the Express that night in a B.C. Hockey League game versus the Nanaimo Clippers. “It was funny... our first practice together [with the Express on Tuesday]. We looked across the dressing room at each other and
some of the pressure off our other forwards. Hopefully, one win will give us that jump back we had earlier in the season.” The Eagles’ lone entry in the BCHL all-star game last season, Krgovich had eight points in 13 games this season since rejoining Surrey late, after having played through late summer on the national-champion Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs in the Minto Cup Junior A lacrosse championship. Krgovich said he was “really happy” and “enthused” when informed of the latest deal involving him and knows playing on the Express will put him in the spotlight considerably more than what he’s experienced before. “With anything, you have to put pressure on yourself to succeed,” Krgovich said. “But I can’t beat Mike Krgovich myself up all the time, either. I just have to go out there and do my job as best I can. I’m looking to work hard and contribute to help the team make the playoffs. That’s the first goal.” Express general manager Darcy Rota said garnering Krgovich was something he’d “been working on all summer” but it wasn’t until the Silverbacks netted his rights that he was able to swing a deal for the smooth-skating, six-foot sniper. “We just felt we had to upgrade our offence,” Rota said. “I always liked the way Mike competes and plays hard. Plus, he’s put some numbers up in this league before.”
“With anything, you have to put pressure on yourself to succeed.”

Twenty years later and here we are, playing on the same team.” McIntosh, a six-foot-five blueliner who spent the previous four seasons toiling in the
Western Hockey League before joining the Express for his final year of junior eligibility, is confident the arrival of Krgovich will help pull the 8-9-4 (wonloss-overftime loss) Coquitlam
unit out of its losing funk. “It was awsome to see him back at the old rink,” McIntosh said with a laugh. “It’s going to be fun. I think Mike is going be a big help coming in and taking

with the Richmond Sockeyes in the race for top spot in the Tom Shaw Conference. The Devils have played two more games than both rivals, leaving them in third place. The Devils could have finished play Saturday night still in first place, two points up on Delta. But the Ladner-based club clawed their way back from a 4-0 deficit, tying the score 5-5 with a pair of tallies in the final minute, then getting the winner two minutes into overtime. Darren Asunsion, Julius Ho, Michael Nardi and Marco Finucci scored in the opening period Saturday for North Delta, with Nardi adding his second of the game early in the third period for a 5-3 Devils lead. Two nights earlier in Squamish, Coltyn Hansen with two goals and an assist, and Ho and Dean Brunato with a goal and two helpers paced the Devils with three-point games. Christian Rodriguez with a goal and one assist completed the North Delta scoring.

The North Delta Huskies finished second, losing 1-0 to the Langley Saints in the championship game. The Enver Creek Cougars placed fourth after a 2-1 overtime loss to the Port Moody Blues.

AFTER A LOSS, most ath-
letes will tell you they’d prefer to play again immediately – and have less time to stew over a tough defeat. Unfortunately for the Surrey Eagles, they were afforded no such luxury – they didn’t play at all last weekend, after losing a tough Remembrance Day tilt, 4-3 in overtime, to the visiting Nanaimo Clippers. And while rest is always nice over the course of a long season, this Friday’s home game against the Powell River Kings – the second meeting of the season between the two clubs – likely can’t come soon enough. “It’s nice to get the rest in the long-term, but the loss hurts, for sure,” said Eagles coach Matt Erhart Monday. “But it’s been a few days now
and I think the guys have forgotten about it, and are focused on this weekend.” Thursday against Nanaimo, the Eagles scored twice in the first period – with leading scorer Brad McGowan and blue-liner Josh Monk finding the back of the net – but the steady Clippers tallied once in all three periods, led by Graeme McCormack, who scored twice. Trailing 3-2 with 2:35 left in the game, the Eagles sent the game to overtime when McGowan scored his second of the game, but 3:41 into the extra frame, Nanaimo’s Andrew Gladiuk scored to give the visiting team the win. New acquisition Karel St. Laurent – picked up last week from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League – was between the pipes for
with the QMJHL’s Saint John Sea Dogs, but was the odd man out in the team’s crease this season, as an overage player. The addition of St. Laurent – who at six-foot-four and 190 pounds fills up a lot of space in front of the net – to the Eagles’ nest means that fellow 20-year-old goalie Vinny Lessard is the odd man out. Though the threeyear Eagle veteran is still on the team’s roster, Erhart said he’s working on finding him a new home. “He’s still on our roster but we’re working on finding a good spot for him to play,” the coach said. “He’s been a real good player for us for two-and-a-bit years now... I can’t say anything bad about Vinny – he’s a great guy. We were just able to
the Eagles, stopping 31 shots. And though they had a relatively light on-ice schedule last week with just the one game, head coach Matt Erhart has stayed plenty busy

More than 300 skaters on 20 teams from across British Columbia and Washington will perform at the Pacific Ice Synchronized Skating Club’s annual Christmas Gala Dec. 11 at the South Surrey Arena. The club expects more than 1,000 spectators to attend, watching teams perform their 2011 competitive programs while participating in 50-50 draws, a bake sale and prize give-aways. Admission to the event, which begins at 1:30 p.m., is by donation to the Surrey Food Bank. “We are very proud to be able to host this annual event which is a wonderful way for the teams to give back to the community by donating to the food bank and generating awareness of synchro,” said Barbara Main, president of the Pacific Ice Synchronized Skating Club. “Last year we collected an enormous amount of food and supplies and more than $1,700 in cash for the food bank. This year we hope to see those numbers go even higher.”

The B.C. women’s soccer champions lost both round robin games by a goal, finishing the four-day tournament with a 2-0 victory over the Holland Hurricanes of Prince Edward Island. Shanay Sangha and Tamanawis Secondary graduate Tara Makragiannis were the Eagles goal scorers. Kwantlen kicked off the tournament Thursday, falling 3-2 in overtime to the host NAIT (Northern Alberta Insitute of Technology) Ooks. Sangha and Dominique Lang tallied for Kwantlen. In their second game Friday, the Humber Hawks of Ontario edged the Eagles 2-1, with Meghan Nilsson netting the Kwantlen goal. Sangha, with two goals in three games, was named to the tournament all-star team.

Inside Track ...with Dan Jukich Under normal circumstances at Fraser Downs Racetrack - or any other facility, for that matter - when a driver wins four times on a card and two of them are featured stake races, it would be worth first-star status. But we said “under normal circumstances”. And the way things have been going for the brilliant 3-year-old filly Mystic Maiden, very little can be described as ‘normal’. Mystic Maiden upstaged Jim Marino’s four-victory grand slam performance on BC Classic Day by going gate-to-wire to make it 12 wins in a row and 19-for-20 in her incredible career for owners Barry MacFarlane and Crimson Racing Stable. Trained by teenager Justin Currie and driven by Dave Hudon, Mystic Maiden won the $75,000 Mary Murphy Breeders Stakes by six lengths in a personal best time of 1:53.2. It appears now that Mystic Maiden’s connections will try for 13 consecutive wins with an appearance at Northlands Park in Edmonton this weekend. Marino’s four wins included driving Nobody Can to victory in the $75,000 Robert Murphy Memorial Breeders Stakes for 3-year-old colts and geldings for owners JJJ Stables and Alan Anderson and trainer Ed Hensley. Marino was also in the sulky for Branding Party’s win in the $40,000 BC Breeders Stake Final for 2-yearold colts and geldings. Marino’s other two wins on a Remembrance Day to remember were on favourites Law of the Yukon and A Midnight Promise. You think Marino isn’t hot? He kept things on the front griddle with three wins last Friday night and three more Sunday. I never majored in math but that sounds to me like 10 victories in three days of racing. Kudos were also in order for the ownership tandem of JJJ Stables and Alan Anderson. In the race prior to Nobody Can winning the Robert Murphy Memorial, they watched Just Fiction with Ed Hensley driving win the $40,000 BC Breeders Stake Final for 2-year-old fillies. All in all, it was a great afternoon of standardbred entertainment at The Downs. Wandering through all areas of the complex like I do on race days, there are times when you can feel an added level of excitement in the air. Nov. 11 was one of those days. See you Friday night and Sunday afternoon! djukich@fraserdowns.com 17755 60th Avenue Surrey BC

Balloons: More appreciated by adults than kids From page 25 see a living room full of balloon entrails, mutated experiments and hordes of successful specimens that Brandon
has worked on. They always support each other on the job. “I hate making horses, so I make her do them,” Brandon chuckles. “She hates
making Tweety Bird and penguins, so I make those ones.” Joan credits her son with spontaneous creativity, using an example of a vacuum
cleaner that came from party request. Dream on, buddy, she told the man. Brandon took on the job after thinking about it for 10 seconds.

He soon had an upright Hoover for the client, complete with a long balloon not blown up that would be “used” as a plug for a wall socket. Some of their ideas come from online from places such as www.balloonhq.com, where unlike the world of magic, there are no secrets between balloon-makers. “The balloon world is very friendly,” says Brandon. “In fact, when Brandon first started, we joined an entertainers’ club and there were probably 12 other clients who were all my age,” explains his
mother. “They told us right from the beginning that it’s not competitive. There’s so much business out there, and they’re actually the ones that encouraged us... and (advised us) to raise our rates.” They still get referrals when the club’s members are overbooked. Bonkers the Clown and Mama B arrive at gigs dressed as either clowns, pirates, cowboys or in formal attire – the latter more conducive to events such as weddings. Once, the mom-son team received four more spin-off gigs from a particular wedding.
In recent years, they’ve been hired by BC Hydro and Terasen Gas for Christmas parties, and saw hourlong line-ups for their balloons at Holland Park during the 2010 Olympic Games. Brandon says that adults are more appreciative than kids of the balloon art, since they realize how complex the creations are. How does a teenager feel about having a balloon business with his mother? “Mom’s a clown and so am I.” For more information, visit www.gobonkers.ca bjoseph@surreyleader.com
