The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has arrested two men in the death of James Enright at the Edmonds SkyTrain Station Feb. 15.

A 22-year-old man faces a charge of second-degree murder while an 18-year-old man faces charges of manslaughter and assault causing bodily harm in connection with the case, said IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Stephanie Ashton.

A publication ban prevents the release of the suspects’ names and other details. Both suspects remain in custody awaiting their next court appearances.

Enright, 27, of North Vancouver died in the early morning of Feb. 15 after being stabbed near the Edmonds bus loop in Burnaby.

The stabbing happened after Enright tried to help a friend who was in an altercation with a group of people near the station.

“This has been a gruelling investigation with many witnesses,” said Ashton in a press release. “It is with the help of the public and the media this matter is now before the courts. IHIT is thankful for the support of the public in assisting with this investigation.”

The entire cast of Burnaby North secondary’s production of The Wiz showed a whole lot of heart after their original Tin Man had to bow out mid-performance due to illness last Friday.

Tin Man Brenden Pryde made it through the Friday matinee but by that evening he wasn’t feeling too well, said North drama teacher

Courtney Couch, who directed the show, on Tuesday.

Pryde thought he could tough it out through the evening show, although a sore throat gave him trouble with singing.

Couch said she took one of his solo songs out of the first act to accommodate him but by intermission, it was clear he couldn’t go on.

He had flu-like symptoms and was feverish, something not helped by having to wear his Tin Man costume. “He definitely needed to

get right to bed,” Couch said.So as cast members prepared for

the second act, she pulled aside two members of the ensemble and asked if they’d be willing to step in as the Tin Man.

Grade 10 student Dominik Svorinic, who also played the role of Dorothy’s Uncle Henry, hardly hesitated when asked.

“I turned to my friend and asked if he wanted to do it and he didn’t seem too confident so I said I’d do it,” he said.

From there, everyone rallied.

Another student filled in as Uncle Henry, a girl stepped in to dance in Svorinic’s place during one number so his partner would still have a partner.

The students playing Dorothy, the Scarecrow and the Lion guided him across the stage, all in character. Svorinic was only given a handful of lines to remember. The other three spoke the rest of his lines, especially those necessary to the plot, or skipped over them without missing a beat.

When the Mountain Shadow Pub opened in June 1980, it was supposed to be the template for neighbourhood pubs in the province.

With the North Burnaby pub set to close on March 28, one of the original builders of that mould is mourning the end of an era – both for the neighbourhood and for a fun period in Ken Russell’s life.

Russell grew up just a block away from the site. He bought the property when it was home to a garage and general store. But he always dreamed of opening an establishment where friends and neighbours could meet and relax over a cold pint.

In the late 1970s, most bars were more like raucous beer halls or saloons, like the notorious Lougheed Hotel or the Admiral on Hastings Street, and most pubs were located in strip malls or commercial areas.

It took Russell and his business partner, Lloyd “Dutch” Dedemus, two years to get Burnaby’s planning department and city council – as well as the provincial liquor licencing board – to buy into their idea for a neighbourhood watering hole that also featured a fully equipped kitchen so it

could function as a restaurant during the day.

“It was a fight to get that location,” said Russell. “We went door-to-door to convince people to let us build that pub.”

They then spent 10 months constructing the distinctive chalet building.

Russell said the soaring structure was necessitated by the narrow footprint it was allowed to occupy on the property that also had to accommodate 20 parking spaces.

The wood beams and 33,000 reclaimed bricks were barged from Vancouver Island. Almost a third of those bricks were destined to build the towering fireplace that ascends up through the pub, a structure so complicated the mason hired to build it referred to a model built of Lego because he couldn’t decipher its six pages of blueprints.

Local artists and artisans were enlisted to craft the stained glass windows and other decor elements like the carved rock next to the pub’s front entrance.

Russell and Dedemus constructed many of the unique tables, rummaging thrift shops for knick-knacks like bottle openers, fishing lures and lighters to embed in the tabletops.

On paydays the partners and construction crews raced to the Lougheed Hotel for beers; last one there had to buy the round.

By the time the pub opened on June 30, all the tumult and hard work to get it built was forgotten. Neighbours dressed up and queued to get in, with the entrance managed by burly SFU football players.

“It was so unique to the young people,” said Russell. “The concept of a small and intimate pub was really unique.”

So much so provincial liquor board authorities often recommended applicants for pub licences visit the Mountain Shadow to learn how it could be done, said Russell.

The first Vancouver Canucks player to venture in was Harold Snepts. The pub was a convenient stop on the way to his North Burnaby home from the Pacific Coliseum. Other players who also settled in the community quickly followed.

“People didn’t bother the players,” said Russell. “They were there all the time, they just fit right in. It was quite nice and comfortable for everyone.”

Russell said there were a lot of small factors that ensured the Mountain Shadow retained its convivial, neighbourly

atmosphere. For instance, the pub served only bottled beer for its first three years to attract a slightly higher level of clientele. There was a workshop in the pub’s basement so broken chairs or fixtures could be quickly repaired to keep the establishment looking its best.

And the pub sponsored dozens of recreational sports teams in the city, making it a destination for players celebrating a win or mourning a loss.

By the mid-1990s Russell said the market was changing – getting way more competitive. Restaurants were also marketing themselves as places to watch the big game while enjoying a beverage and the company of friends. He and Dedemus got out in 1995.

But while you can take the North Burnaby boy out of the Mountain Shadow, you can’t take the Mountain Shadow out of the boy, said Russell, who went into land development after his pub days ended.

“It was a wonderful time in my life,” said Russell, who now lives in Mission, in a chalet-style home much like the Mountain Shadow’s architecture.

“I thought (the pub) would be there for 150 years. It’s very sorrowful.”

Ten arrested, nearly 700,000 pills seized in Metro VancouverJeff NagelBlack Press

Police have charged 10 suspects and seized a huge amount of the synthetic drug fentanyl that’s been blamed in dozens of overdose deaths in B.C. last year.

The coordinated raids on Feb. 17 in Vancouver, Burnaby, North Vancouver and Richmond yielded 29,000 fentanyl pills, 650,000 yet-to-be-identified pills suspected to contain either fentanyl or Alprazolam, a pill press, seven vehicles, $215,000 in cash, four guns, 16 kilograms of crack or powdered cocaine and varying amounts of other drugs, including marijuana, methamphetamine and heroin.

The joint Vancouver Police-RCMP operation dubbed Project Tainted began last October as alarm grew about unprecedented numbers of overdose deaths from drugs laced with fentanyl, which is a highly toxic opioid painkiller.

“The goal of this project was to target those who were peddling poison in our communities, and to disrupt the local supply of fentanyl-laced drugs that were being distributed throughout the Lower Mainland and beyond,” said RCMP Chief Supt. Kevin deBruyckere.

Police said one of their primary targets in

the investigation was a suspect tied to a recent shooting in south Burnaby. Maksym Pefti, 22, of Burnaby, has been arrested on charges of attempted murder and trafficking, while nine others face trafficking charges.

VPD Supt. Mike Porteous called the takedowns a “significant blow” to the local distributors of the deadly drug.

Police believe fentanyl came here from Asia in powdered form before being cut with other powder and pressed into pills in Metro Vancouver

and then distributed throughout the Lower Mainland and elsewhere in B.C.

“The tendrils extended from Vancouver and Burnaby into the rest of the Lower Mainland and beyond,” deBruyckere said.

Officers say pills turning up on the streets are often sold as OxyContin but in fact contain fentanyl, while other drugs – even marijuana – have also been found laced with fentanyl.

An estimated 75 overdose deaths in B.C. last year have been tied to fentanyl, with the largest numbers of deaths occurring in Vancouver, Langley and Surrey.

Casual party drug users who take pills or snort or smoke drugs are considered most at risk, rather than the injection drug users who are more often associated with overdoses.

Fentanyl accounted for 25 per cent of overdose deaths last year, up from five per cent in 2012.

In a recent speech, Premier Christy Clark quipped that while teenagers tend to be lazy, there is a limit.

If your kid is still on the couch after age 30, she said, he’s not a teenager any more. “He’s a New Democrat.”

Clark’s ‘get off the couch and get a job’ message is now being translated into government policy. The B.C. government is using one of the few tools available to it to track down people who aren’t paying off their student loans, by linking defaulted debt to driver’s licence renewals.

There are “hardship” provisions for those who don’t have a job. ICBC will only refuse to renew a driver’s licence or vehicle plates for those who have let their student debt go for a year without making some effort to deal with it.

Student debt collection is a long-standing problem for the province, with about $185 million currently on the books as defaulted and unpaid. Students naturally move around after completing their studies, and once the six-month grace period

for beginning to repay student loans expires, finding those who aren’t paying becomes a costly effort.

Historically governments sent defaulted debt to collection agencies. Last year $17.3 million was collected.

How big is student debt these days? The subject was discussed briefly in the legislature last week.

In question period, NDP leader John Horgan reminded the government that tuition fees have doubled over the past decade, and cited a Bank of Montreal estimate that the average university student emerges from a four-year program owing $35,000 in student loans.

With his usual modesty and tact, Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson dismissed Horgan’s accusation

that he is indifferent to the plight of students. Wilkinson noted that the Bank of Montreal surveyed 602 students across Canada, and only 78 of them were in B.C.

“To clarify this, and to address the cackling chickens on the other side, we have 430,000 students in our system,” Wilkinson said. “Some of them are part-time; some of them are on short courses. We have 180,000 students who are in the system full-time and eligible for student aid.

“Of those 180,000 students, 45,000 turn to the province for financial aid – meaning that 75 per cent of students, more than what was quoted on the CBC yesterday, go through their education without incurring debt through the provincial student aid program.”

Whatever the amount owing is for an individual, it’s a debt that will be more difficult to avoid paying. The province has long used the withholding of driving privileges to collect unpaid provincial court fines, and that was recently extended to those who are 90 days in arrears on

$25 or more worth of Lower Mainland bridge tolls.

This student debt collection move follows efforts to match up post-secondary funding to areas of employment demand. In an era where misguided university professors use their positions to organize violent protests against job-creating projects, the messages are similar.

Variations of this productivity theme are being heard from governments across North America. The baby boomers are retiring. We are bringing in temporary foreign workers, not because of some right-wing plot, but because too many people growing up in our society refuse to do an increasing range of jobs.

We have an education system – and media – that encourages people to complain and make demands to get what they want. And we are seeing the results of all of this.

There was a U.S. president once who said, “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”

Pay down that student loan or else

School trustees across B.C., including those in Burnaby School District, must be scratching their heads at their premier’s apparent lack of awareness about what’s going on in their schools and administration offices.

Last week, Christy Clark suggested school boards grab a step-ladder and start picking some “low-hanging fruit” to the tune of nearly $54 million over the next two years from district administrative costs.

Later, Education Minister Peter Fassbender clarified that school districts must find efficiencies to get administrative costs down to six per cent, where they were 10 years ago, which requires 0.5 per cent savings this year and 1 per cent the year after.

While there is a concern that trimming administrative costs will eat up valuable dollars that must go to the classroom, the province should lead the way by showing where this cost-cutting should be made.

B.C. School Trustees’ Association president Teresa Rezansoff has been quoted as saying that Clark’s comments ignore the fact that school districts are already working together to save money and have been doing so for years.

Bulk buying, sharing services — many of these measures have been tried with more or less success, depending on the district and the circumstances. One area that has been discussed is the high cost of legal services. CUPE has argued the district could do more to cut arbitration costs but clamping down on legal charges has been difficult given the large number of Freedom of Information requests and the district is also paying higher legal fees to resolve student-related issues.

Everyone hates waste but instead of making off-the-cuff comments, would the premier please show school boards exactly where the hidden cache of cash is located?

Re: Reality check on poverty (Letters NewsLeader, Feb. 27).

With all due respect to the learned letter writer, please quote me correctly. I don’t mind my writing or my opinions being challenged. The only thing that I ask a critic to do is to spell my name correctly and you did, and for that I thank you.

When I write on social issues, it is meant to provoke a reaction. From the reaction we hopefully create dialogue and from the dialogue and with some luck, we create solutions.

The way we currently do things to remedy social ills is clearly not working and we need to establish new parameters and new ways. The ways we currently help are only perpetuating the problem.

I do take issue when somehow my writing is used in a disconnected rant. Then it becomes nothing more than name-calling.

I do have feelings for the ones who may feel unjustly treated for whatever reason. I have several friends who obtained extensive university education, myself included, only to find menial employment. I also know of several people with lesser or no education who found meaningful careers.

We can all walk into an employment interviews with all kinds of university degrees only to fail the interview due to unfavourable personality traits and issues. But that is no reason why we should be angry at society and to blame everyone else for our inability to cope.

The reality is that we must all play a proactive role and come together to solve some of these social ills. All levels of governments must take an active role in conjunctions with religious and social institutions. Hopefully, over time we’ll be able to resolve these social issues.

RISE OF INCOME INEQUALITY NOT JUST CAUSE OF THE LEFT

In his recent column, “Why Cut Taxes for the Rich,” Tom Fletcher gives us some more right-wing statistical spin. He compares the proportion of the total national income tax paid by the top 20 per cent of income earners in 1970 to today to prove the income gap is narrowing.

However, the highest marginal tax rate today is about half what it was in 1970, while the marginal tax rates for middle-income earners have fallen by only a few percentage points.

So the fact the wealthy are paying a greater share of the total income tax only shows their incomes have risen higher than the incomes of the rest of us – a lot higher given the big reduction in their tax rates.

In fact, real income for the top 10 per cent of earners has doubled over the past 30 years while real income for the rest of us has, at best, risen a few percentage points, and, for the most part, remained steady or declined.

His comment that income inequality leveled off in 1998 is misleading. Income inequality rose

dramatically during the ’90s, and its rise became only less steep during the 2000s. However, it is still the highest it has ever been since the 1920s and far higher than in 1970. According to the Conference Board of Canada, between 1990 and 2010, the top 20 per cent (quintile) of earners was the only quintile that increased its share of the national income. Everyone else lost ground.

The rise in income inequality is not just a “cause of the left.” It’s a fact confirmed by the Conference Board of Canada, Statscan, and any number of other credible authorities – as well as the figures that Fletcher himself presents.

As for Svorinic, he improvised wherever he could, drawing on what he remembered of the scenes as he performed in the ensemble.

But when the Tin Man gets his heart from the Wizard, he didn’t have a clue what to say as he was always backstage getting dressed during that scene.

So when the Wizard says, “And for you Tin Man, a heart,” Svorinic clutched the heart and said, “I can feel!” to a great cheer from the audience.

“Where there should’ve been some choreography he just came up with his own robotic Tin Man-like dance moves,” said Couch. “The audience just went crazy. We were all just laughing and everyone was cheering. Everyone knew he had just stepped in but what he did in character was so impressive. It suited the show, it really had a unique energy that night.”

As for Svorinic, after completing the Friday evening performance he said he was “incredibly overwhelmed with emotions. I started crying, too excited and too happy.”

But the story didn’t stop there.

On Saturday morning he decided to prepare in case Pryde was still too sick to take the stage. So he spent from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. memorizing the Tin Man’s dialogue as best he could, with the help of a friend, before it would be time to rehearse and get makeup on.

Just before noon he got the

call from Couch that he’d be called upon to reprise his role. Ironically, it was while he had all that time to prepare that he got more nervous than he had the previous evening.

“It started really hitting me … I had five hours to do what [Pryde] did in five months.”

He also hadn’t really had to sing the night before, but this time he had a solo song to learn.

But even that went off without a hitch.

Couch said she didn’t know what Svorinic’s singing ability was so she was preparing to have the girls dancing during his number to sing with him. But he took on the challenge, and just an hour before show time, sang it with the orchestra for the first time.

“It just blew me away,” she said. “I wasn’t prepared for that at all.”

Then she had to just sit back and watch.

“I was so nervous for him but I was so proud, it was so much fun for me to watch,” said Couch.

“It was a real team effort, they definitely demonstrated the meaning behind a team, the whole group did. It was really impressive, I’m really proud of them.”

At the end of that Saturday show, Pryde came out on stage with Svorinic and the pair received a huge ovation.

Svorinic said it was fitting. “I stepped in yes, but he was totally sick and he still sang his

song like, to perfection so he deserves a big amount of credit too.”

Burnaby school trustee Larry Hayes attended the Friday evening show and said while the audience was informed at intermission of the cast change, “it came across quite seamlessly.”

It helped, Hayes said, that The Wiz, a musical, isn’t exactly the same as the more familiar Wizard of Oz, on which it’s based.

“The Wiz, because it’s a modern take on it, it didn’t really phase me too much that the new Tin Man doesn’t say much,” he said with a laugh.

Hayes noted the cheers from the audience and the support Svorinic got from his castmates.

“Everybody was, I think, quite impressed that this kid would take one for the team and stand in … He probably did something a lot of others would be very unwilling to volunteer for.”

The whole experience has Couch rethinking the need for understudies, she said with a laugh, and some understatement.

By Sunday afternoon, Svorinic was back to his regular routine, working at his part-time job stocking shelves at Safeway.

“I don’t mind being a normal Joe again,” he said. “The attention is great but you can’t have it forever. Everyone has their 15 minutes, right?”

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERDoreen Kennedy and Barbara Stewart ponder their next moves on a giant chess board set up at Burnaby Village Museum. Outsized versions of games like Snakes and Ladders and tic tac toe will be scattered around the village as part of its Spring Break activities beginning on Monday. There will also be a scavenger hunt and displays of historical board games to go along with the theme, Let the Games Begin! The museum will be open daily from 12-4 p.m. from March 9-20. For more information as well as a schedule of Spring Break activities, go to www.burnabyvillagemuseum.ca

It’s a playful theme for Burnaby Village Museum’s annual spring break scavenger this year.

Dubbed Let the Games Begin!, participants in the scavenger hunt are actually players in “The Village Adventure Game.” It’s a paid event—$7 per person, free for museum members—and runs 12 to 4 p.m. daily from March 9 to 20.

Once they have their tickets,

games pick up their clue sheet/game board and head into the village where giant spinners determine the starting position. Progress is tracked on a bingo-style board. Along the way, play giant games of chess, snakes and ladders or tic-tac-toe.

There’s also a children’s craft in the tram barn, daily entertainment, a stilt walker, and displays about board games.

West Vancouver police caught two wanted Burnaby residents napping earlier this week, literally.

Officers were called to a parking area at Marine Drive and Taylor way in West Vancouver just after 8:30 a.m. on Monday. Callers reported two people who appeared unconscious in an idling vehicle, said West Van police.

When officers responded, they were able to waken a man and woman from what turned out to be a deep sleep. Paramedics on the scene confirmed there were no medical concerns.

But once officers identified the pair, they were discovered to both have outstanding arrest warrants related to Burnaby RCMP investigations. The two, both Burnaby residents, were arrested without incident.

A 43-year-old man was arrested on two warrants for prior driving-while-prohibited charges. A 30-year-old woman was arrested on a warrant related to a theft investigation. Both were taken to Vancouver for appearances in Provincial Court.

West Vancouver police will recommend an additional driving-while-prohibited charge against the male suspect. His first appearance in North Vancouver Provincial Court on the new charge will take place in April.

A new study urges municipalities to eliminate breaks for seniors on property taxes and fees to use services such as public transit and fitness classes.

The report by municipal finance expert Harry Kitchen was released by the Institute for Research on Public Policy. Kitchen argues it’s time to abandon seniors discounts because they increasingly benefit wealthy retirees who don’t need the help.

“They were established at a time when a high percentage of older residents were living in poverty, but poverty rates for seniors have decreased considerably compared with those in the rest of the population,” Kitchen said.

His findings indicate seniors actually have the smallest share of people living in poverty of any age group in Canada.

He recommends grants and special aid be targeted to all low-income people in need, regardless of age.

“Those paying a reduced price are effectively

subsidized by those paying the higher price,” Kitchen says in his study.

Cheap or free services to seniors can also lead to excessive use of services and larger-than-required facilities, it says. Extra revenue from ending blanket discounts for seniors could give cities more flexibility to reduce their reliance on property taxes, he argued.

He warns the inequity of seniors discounts will worsen as the population ages and reform will become increasingly difficult as more voters turn 65.

B.C.’s home owner grant program reduces the property tax on a principle residence by more if the owner is a senior – the tax reduction is up to $845 per year for seniors but is capped at $570 for those under 65.

TransLink charges seniors $52 for a monthly “concession” pass that’s valid across all zones, while other regular adults are charged $170 a month for a pass that’s good for all zones, or $91 for one zone only.

Cities urged to end seniors discounts

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat DD iii CC ddd |

Driving emission-free down Electric AvenueDriveway will spend the next few weeks taking a spin down Electric Avenue in a brand new 2015 Nissan LEAF.And shortly after the Van-couver International Auto Show closes on March 29, we’ll be handing the keys to one of these eco-friend-ly electric cars to a reader! (See contest details.)Even if you don’t win the prize car, you might want to do more than kick the tires on the emission free vehicle as the BC Gov-ernment is set to renew its Clean Energy Vehicle incentive program. Details have yet to be revealed but the announced $7.5 million total commitment suggests the instant rebate scheme will reduce the sticker pric-es for all electric, plug-in hybrid and fuel cell vehicles by up to $5,000.The Nissan LEAF S edition starts at just under $32,000, which, after the expect-ed point of sale price reduction, puts the sedan at a competitive price point alongside small gas-powered family cars. The SV adds a quick charge port to the car, some additional technology

and interior improvements for another $5,000 and the SL adds leather seating and alloy wheels for another $3,000. The Nissan Quick Charge Port (standard on SV and SL) allows charging to 80 per cent capacity in 30 minutes at public charging stations, using a DC fast charger. There will be additional incentives for those installing 220-volt fast chargers at home, which reduce charging time to five hours. The fuel efficiency of the four-door, five-seat LEAF is calculated at the gas equivalent of about 2.0 L/100 kms with a range of around 120 kms on a full

charge. The LEAF, which interestingly stands for Leading, Environmentally friendly, Affordable, Family car, is now in its fifth model year. It topped 1,000 sales in Canada late last year, making it the country’s top-selling electric car.The 2015 Nissan LEAF models include Rear View Monitor as a standard fea-ture; an available hybrid heater system

that provides superior cold weather performance while consuming less energy; “B” drive mode increases regenerative braking during decelera-tion; and a standard charge port light and lock with a charge port door release button added to the intelligent key fob.Enhanced interior features on

the 2015 LEAF model range from a standard leather-wrapped steer-ing wheel to a black interior colour and sun visor extensions. Rear cargo space is 680L with the second row seat upright. There is 850L of cargo space with the standard 60/40-split

rear seat folded down.EV-IT improvements for the 2015 LEAF model include an “Eco route” feature in the available navigation system that includes suggested power-saving alternative routes – plus Google’s local search. The Google Places search func-tion allows Nissan LEAF owners to look for area restaurants, shops and other points of interest and browse user reviews using Google’s POI database to get the most up-to-date information at all times.Next week, we report on the drive and the practicality of ownership.

Five of the weirdest movie cars everBy Rob SassCasting directors, wardrobe designers and set designers are always recognized for their work in feature films. However, car-casting people are often the real unsung casting heroes. What would “Bul-litt” have been without the Highland Green 1968 Mustang 390 fastback? Just as important are the bit-players, the oddball character actors of the movie car world. These are the Jack Elams, Crispin Glovers and the Peter Lorres of movie cars:1967 Citroen 2CV — American Graffiti: The Citroen 2CV is a truly strange car. Perhaps the most intentionally minimalist automobile ever to see production, even third-world motorists today would balk at its ham-mock-like seats and tin can-like appear-ance. Future writer and pacifist Curt Henderson (played by Richard Dreyfuss), drove this two-cylinder French peasant’s car throughout the film. Strangely, the producers used a 1967 model in spite of the fact that the film was famously set in 1962. A forgivable oversight given the overall excellence of the film and the fact that one 2CV (pro-duced from 1948-90) looks pretty much like the next.1953 Messerschmitt KR175 — The Addams Family: The Messer-schmitt KR175 was the product of a company that less than 10 years previous, had been building fighter planes for the Third Reich, including the first jet-pow-ered interceptor. From jet fighters to amusing micro-cars! This bubble-topped three-wheeler was the ride of the chattering, sentient hairball named Cousin It in the great 1991 re-boot of the Addams Family. 1987 Yugo GV — Drag-net: After Tom Hanks and Dan Aykroyd lose two previous police-issued vehi-

cles, this was the only car the depart-ment would let them have. According to Aykroyd (who did a wicked Jack Webb impersonation), it had been donated to the LAPD by the government of Yugo-

slavia as a test vehicle “and reflected the cutting edge of Serbo-Croatian technology.” As an aside, the U.S. bombing campaign during the Balkan Wars finally put an end to the Yugo when the factory was leveled. Opinions differ as to the magnitude of this loss to the automotive world.1974 AMC Matador Coupe — Man with the Golden Gun: It’s

difficult to say what’s stranger, the car or the context. The notion that a James Bond villain with unlimited resources would build a flying car out of an AMC Matador is simply unfathomable in any world other than that of product place-ment. We like the Matador coupe for its sheer oddness, but the fish-out-of-water aspect of it in a big-budget Bond film is what puts it over the top.1973 Corvorado — Live and Let

Die: Driven by a Mr. Big henchman (aptly named “Whispers”) this was a C3 Corvette that was, for no appar-ent reason, customized with Cadillac Eldorado body panels (hence the name

Corvorado) by one Les Dunham of Boonton, New Jersey. It pre-dated the Cadillac XLR by some 30 years. The car also made an appearance in the movie “Superfly.”

‘Flimsy’ report from mayors forecasts household benefitsJeff NagelBlack Press

Metro Vancouver mayors say their plan for transit upgrades would save residents much more money over the long run than they’d pay in extra sales tax if this spring’s referendum on the proposal passes.

A report commissioned by the mayors estimates the savings for a typical family at $360 per year by 2030 in combined fuel, vehicle and other costs, including the value of time savings.

It estimates that advantage would climb to $1,100 per year by 2045 versus a base case scenario without the proposed upgrades and worsening congestion as Metro’s population grows.

Those are net savings minus

the $125 per year an average household would pay as a result of the extra 0.5 per cent sales tax to be levied in Metro Vancouver.

Two thirds of the estimated savings are attributed to reduced travel time, while one third is the result of direct reductions in out-of-pocket transportation costs.

The mayors’ council released only a four-page summary of HDR Consulting’s findings without providing details on methodology.

Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore predicted some households will save even more – an estimated $10,000 a year over and above HDR’s estimates – if they are able to give up a vehicle as improved transit service arrives.

“More people will have the option to use the bus, which is a less expensive way of getting around than driving,” Moore said.

He said even drivers will spend

less time on the road and money on gas and maintenance because of congestion relief.

Transit improvements – including a 25 per cent increase in bus service, new B-Line express bus routes and new rapid transit lines in Vancouver and Surrey – are expected to greatly increase the number of households in the region that live close enough to frequent transit service to rely heavily on it.

The mayors’ council estimates round-trip travel times by transit will be cut by at least 40 minutes between certain town centres, including Maple Ridge-Cloverdale and Coquitlam-Langley, a route that would be served by new B lines.

No campaign head Jordan Bateman called the report “flimsy.”

He said it doesn’t take into account the opportunity cost of

how families might benefit if they weren’t subjected to the extra tax and could instead spend that money on different priorities or invest it.

“The mayors refuse to acknowledge this is a regressive tax that hurts poorer families more than richer families,” Bateman said.

He said poor families can’t think

decades down the road because “they’re trying to put groceries on the table this week” and added it may be risky for planners to use such a long horizon as well.

“No one knows what the world is going to look like in 30 years,” Bateman said, suggesting self-driving cars may end up carrying many people some day instead of public transit.

Study claims savings will offset cost of transit tax

BLACK PRESS FILE PHOTOEleven new B-line express bus routes that run very often would be added across the region under the plan advanced by Metro Vancouver mayors.

WHY LNG IN B.C.?

The BC LNG Alliance is the voice of British Columbia’s new LNG export industry. Our mission is to foster the growth of a safe, environmentally responsible and globally competitive LNG industry in British Columbia and Canada.

BRITISH COLUMBIA has far more natural gas

(( ((

WE’VE GOT NATURAL GAS...

an estimated

2,000 trillion cubic feet

in Northeast B.C.

We have enough to supply local needs

and help meet global demand

In fact, enough to supply LNG export operations and domestic needs for 150 years, so it makes

sense to sell some of it

Natural gas has been produced safely in B.C. for more than 60 years. It is as much a part of our resource wealth as forestry and fishing. And like forestry and fishing, the

natural gas sector provides thousands of stable, well-paid jobs for British Columbians who work for gas producers in the Northeast and for suppliers and service providers throughout the province.

The industry also generates tax revenue to help pay for social services and infrastructure like salaries for nurses and teachers, and new roads, schools and hospitals. But unlike

forestry and fishing, which are now mature industries, natural gas is entering what the International Energy Agency has described as The Golden Age of Gas. Demand is rising rapidly and B.C. is ideally positioned to meet some of it.

Exporting B.C.’s natural gas is nothing new; it was first transported via Vancouver to the U.S. in 1957 and the U.S. has remained our main market ever since. But with the U.S. producing more of its own gas it now makes sense to sell our surplus overseas where there’s a demand. The only difference is that the gas must be converted into a liquid so it can be shipped.

That’s why B.C. is developing a new industry to produce LNG.

China alone expects to use 17.5 trillion cubic feet

of natural gas a year by 2040 – three times more than in 2012

“Did I mention its GST included?”

says Akinci. “ Th ere’s so much ap-peal for this product, with sound construction and quality fi xtures,

In 2014, Th e Rockwoods was the best-selling townhome community in Surrey, which was the result of a combination of factors, including the community’s location in the increasingly popular Fleetwood neighborhood, the appealing contemporary exterior architecture, and func-tional two-bedroom plus den, three-bedroom and four-bedroom fl oorplans from 1180 sq. ft . to 1540 sq. ft .

Th e multiple bedroom options make Th e Rockwoods homes perfect for growing families,

and off er plenty of storage and clever use of space.

Each home provides premium-value living and is designed to create a community for fami-lies to grow up in. Th ink of the neighborhood as an ever-evolving atmosphere that caters to

kids and adults alike. At Rockwoods, buyers will fi nd a safe environment with a sense of luxury, peace and playfulness all under one roof and in one area.

Th en there’s the community’s 4,500-sq.-ft . social common space known simply as Th e

Rockwoods’ clubhouse, because having fun isn’t just for the kids. Th e spacious outdoor loung-ing deck is the perfect place for parties or casual entertainment, while the fl oor-to-ceiling glass gym is ideal for a sunny morning work out.

Outside, each townhome harnesses the con-temporary vibe of West coast living, using the appeal of timber and stonework for an incred-ibly balanced design.

Granite countertops, wood laminate fl oor-ing, stainless steel appliances and an extended kitchen island in the corner suites – some over nine feet long, are just some of the features that prove the consideration and attention to detail put into these homes.

Th at’s because Anthem Properties’ vision and dedication creates real estate that works and welcomes you home; from location, aff ordabil-ity, functionality and design.

“Homebuyers can buy with confi dence, know-ing that we’ve craft ed our homes to build on that reputation in the years to come,” says Edmonds. ”Our last phase just recently launched, so you can choose from a wide selection of homes now.”

When a homeowner walks into a home at Th e Rockwoods, they can expect an environment that feels comfortable to live in, day in and day out, and also functions well; the fi nishes are well-appointed, the storage is ample and well-placed, the layout has a great fl ow to it - all of these things add up a home that truly works.

The Rockwoods neighbourhood, quality family living for many years to come

Designed for how you want to live.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENTAffordability. Accessibility. Livability. You’ll fi nd it all at South Point Walk.

The Rockwoods offer clever uses of space that provide form as well as function and ample room to grow.


Th e name says it all. South Point Walk is close to plenty of urban ame-nities without the need to travel by car, yet remains nestled in a quaint neighborhood setting in South Surrey. It is the epitome of contem-porary West Coast Style architec-ture, with its earth tones and use of natural materials like cedar shingles and arched brick accents that appeal to the nature-lover in us all.

“South Point Walk is adjacent to the Semiahmoo Trail that boasts 200-year-old fi r trees, Sunnyside Acres Urban Forest has many trails for a quiet evening walk and in just ten minutes by car you can be by the

ocean on White Rock Beach,” says project manager, Deren Akinci. “Ev-erything including a Save-On-Foods, Canadian Tire and so many local eateries and coff ee shops are just a one-minute walk away.”

Homeowners on both the upper and lower level fl oors will have ac-cess to green space, with spacious patios or balconies.

Inside, the kitchen is harmonized with practicality and style; boasting a solid eased square-edge Quartzite countertop, full-height ceramic tile backsplash, stainless-steel appliances and classic shaker style cabinetry with satin nickel pull hardware.

Th e spa-inspired bathrooms are exquisitely designed with polished slab granite or Quartzite coun-tertops, contemporary fl at panel cabinetry, a hand-set ceramic tile deep-soaker tub or shower sur-rounded with marble tile accent. In-fl oor heating and enlarged showers are featured in the ensuites.

Comfort, convenience and luxury converge at an aff ordable price with South Point Walk in South Surrey.

“Open fl oorplans, elegant gas ranges and stainless steel appliances all make your home a place where you will love to entertain in,” says Akinci. “From the modern archi-

tecture, which creates a warm and inviting environment, to the solid wood shaker style cabinetry that adds a level of sophistication, and its location next to great amenities; this level of conve-nience is hard to fi nd in other proj-ects in the area.”

One- and two-bedrooms are available starting from just $247,900, and are nearly move-in ready.

“Did I mention its GST included?”

says Akinci. “ Th ere’s so much ap-peal for this product, with sound construction and quality fi xtures,

and now with the incentive, it really is the best value in South Surrey.”

Point Exchange, 860-3014 152 Street, Surrey, open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays.

TESTIMONIAL“My husband and I were fi rst time buyers and

decided to begin searching for homes through the internet. At one of the viewings we met Realtor

Bryn Ward and she off ered to take us on as clients. This decision proved to be one of the

best things we could have ever done as new buyers.

Instead of spending countless hours searching the internet, getting a hold of other Realtors and organizing viewings we now had someone who

knew what type of place we wanted, the area we wanted to live in, our special exceptions we needed (a condo that would accept two medium dogs) and our price range. We now simply opened our email

and looked at the numerous places Bryn had sent us daily until something caught our eye.

Within 10 days and after looking at 6 places we found the perfect home. Bryn represented us in a strata meeting to discuss allowing both dogs and

worked with us until the deal was fi nalized. Bryn was open and honest with us throughout the negotiation

and advised us on what to expect. As fi rst time buyers, we did not know what to expect but I can say that we did not have much stress as Bryn took care of everything. When we had a question, she found out the answer within minutes. When we wanted a second look, she arranged it. When we were unsure if this was the

right home she arranged for other viewings. When we wanted to make a fi nal offer, she was supportive

and participated in our excitement when the offer was accepted.

I can’t say enough about the professionalism of Bryn of RE/MAX Advantage Realty but I do

know that when I sell or buy another property I will be looking her up.””
