Surrey veterans’
centre closing
Incinerators get early OKby Kevin Diakiw
A PLAN TO build controversial waste-to-energy incinerators in the region has been endorsed by Metro Vancouver’s Waste Committee.
Th e 14-member committee gathered Wednesday to weigh the pros and cons of waste-to-energy by way of a large incinerator.
Th e construction of the $470-million new waste-to-energy plant in the region is the com-mittee’s preferred option to deal with up to 500,000 tonnes of additional garbage per year that can’t otherwise be recycled.
Th e decision comes at the end of a long and tumultuous public process, and will go to the Metro Vancouver board next week.
Metro recently wrapped up the 60-day public consultation process, where the public over-whelmingly supported initiatives to reduce and recycle garbage.
However, the notion of burning the waste that can’t be recycled got a cooler response, both from the public and politicians.
Opposition to incineration was hot in the Fraser Valley, particularly in Abbotsford, where fears of damage to the airshed caused concern.
On Wednesday, director and Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said he speaks from a unique perspective as his is the only city with an incinerator.
Corrigan supported the waste-to-energy proposal and said it should be created in the Metro region.
“I have not received any complaints from our community (about incin-
eration),” Corrigan told the committee.Director Wayne Wright agreed, stating he lives right on the air path of
the Burnaby incinerator.“It’s not our job to get re-elected by not doing the right thing,” said
Wright, mayor of New Westminster.Vancouver’s Heather Deal said it’s time to evolve, using conversion tech-
nologies rather than incineration.She believes there are fi nancial benefi ts to
conversions that create other fuels that can be sold.
White Rock Coun. Mary-Wade Anderson said there’s been an overreaction to incinera-tion.
“In fi ve years, we will be laughing at the concerns that we had,” Anderson said.
Surrey’s Linda Hepner supported the incineration idea, but didn’t rule out putting the facility outside the region.
“I discount the argument that we need to look aft er our own garbage,” Hepner said. “We’re looking at a commodity.”
Now that the concept of a local incinerator has been supported by the committee, the Metro Vancouver board will vote on it Friday, July 30.
From there, it goes to the provincial ministry of the environment. Th e minister has the option of approving it, amending it and approving it, or sending it back to the board with recommended changes.
DON ROBERTSON is puzzled by the decision to close the Surrey Veterans Aff airs Service Centre.
Th e Surrey resident, an 82-year-old decorated army major, found out a few days ago when he went in for a medical review of his disability.
Robertson, who picked up some shrapnel in one knee during the Second Word War, likes the con-venience of the Surrey location on 7337 137 St., where parking is free and easy to fi nd.
He was disturbed to see the sign announcing the offi ce would be
“relocating” on Sept. 20 to 605 Robson St. in the heart of downtown Vancouver, where the travel time for veterans like Robertson, who lives on this side of the Fraser River,
will be much longer.While Veterans Aff airs compen-
sates clients for bus and parking charges, it’s still “bloody inconve-nient,” Robertson commented.
“I couldn’t understand why this offi ce is being closed at a time when we’re creating more and more vete-rans with more and more problems,” he added. “I can’t see the point of it.”
Ed Cheung, the acting district director in the Vancouver Veterans Aff airs offi ce, said the Surrey offi ce is being merged with Vancouver to improve effi ciency. He said the downtown offi ce has new responsi-bilities, including an initiative for homeless veterans and responsibility for northern B.C. and the Yukon.
Cheung said service levels will not be hurt.
“We’re just a phone call away.”
Metro Vancouver committee endorses burning garbage
Shortreed has been through two operations so far, one to remove healthy teeth aft er one doctor thought they might be contributing to her constant pain.
It didn’t help.Th e other procedure was an unsuccessful attempt to
unclog her sinuses with a diff erent kind of surgical proce-dure. It didn’t work, either.
Th e intense pressure build-up in her skull creates crippling headaches that have left Shortreed unable to work. At times, she said she has been reduced to lying on a couch in a dark-ened living room while her youngest son, who still lives with her, takes care of her, even cooking her meals.
By her estimate, Shortreed has had 10 X-rays, as many CT scans and three MRIs since 2008. Painful fl are-ups have resulted in dozens of trips to the ER at Surrey Memorial
Hospital. She has made the rounds of other doctors only to be told that the best choice for the delicate surgery she requires is the specialist at St. Paul’s.
Th e private clinic the specialist suggested he will not take payments, Shortreed said, and most of the people she knows don’t have that kind of money. She was recently widowed and her husband’s modest estate has been tied up by an interfamily legal dispute.
Dr. Robert Irvine, Head of the Division of Otolaryngol-ogy at St. Paul’s hospital, said the three-year wait is the result of a severe backlog.
Th ere are 500 patients on the waiting list for the surgeon Shortreed went to see, Irvine told Th e Leader.
Currently, the surgeon gets enough operating room time to perform 220 procedures a year.
“[He] is just one guy and he’s got one pair of hands,” Irvine said.
Irvine confi rmed Shortreed’s surgeon has been booking patients who can aff ord it into a privately owned operating room in a bid to reduce the backlog.
“We got behind several years ago,” Irvine said. “In an ideal world, the wait time for sinus surgery would be 13 weeks.”
Irvine said provincial government funding for sinus sur-gery has been increased in recent years and more operating room hours will become available in September.
Th e only advice he was able to give Shortreed was to advise her doctor if her condition worsens.
NDP health critic Adrian Dix called the delay “unconscio-nable,” saying it shows the wait for less common procedures is even worse than the Liberal government claims.
“It’s insane,” Shortreed fumed. “I don’t have a criminal record. I’m a contributing member of society and I can’t get help.”

(SDSU) totaling $167,689.32 (US) payable to the school district in 2002 and 2003 were deposited to the Chadwicks’ accounts at Coast Capital Savings and Credit Union for their personal use.
SDSU had a contract with the school district to provide classroom accommodation, instruction and support for its International Educational Leader-ship Program. Th e school district claimed Robert, who managed the program, and Barbara opened an SDSU Fund Account “off record” to the fi nancial aff airs of the school district and that there was no accounting for the receipt
and disbursement of the money. Th e pair were also alleged to have received fi nancial kickbacks from several school district contracts for supplies and services.
In a statement of defence fi led last May, the Chadwicks called the investigation a “witch-hunt” by the school district and denied any theft , fraud and kickback allega-tions.
Th e pair claimed senior admin-istrators instructed them to keep certain fi nances separate from the fi nancial aff airs of the district, but argued no money was ever diverted to their personal use. Th e couple also said there were no kickback schemes arranged with third parties, and that contrary to school district allegations, they did
not destroy or misdirect fi nancial records or spoil evidence.
In their statement, the Chad-wicks said they were “colleagues and good friends for years” and affi rmed they had no intimate relationship in August 2006 when asked, but were subsequently mar-ried in November, 2006.
Th ey are due to appear in B.C. Provincial Court in September.
Robert remains under inves-tigation by the B.C. College of Teachers. Barbara wasn’t subject to a teachers’ college investigation because she was an administra-tive assistant and not required to be certifi ed by the professional organization.
A DEAD MAN was discovered in a North Surrey park early Th ursday morning.He was found near the Whalley Ball Park near 107 Avenue and University
Drive about 6:15 a.m.Investigators at the scene were trying to determine whether the death was
suspicious. Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or if you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Road Rules applauds three recent editorials in lower mainland newspapers. Memo to cyclists: Obey the law—was the lead editorial in the July 2nd Vancouver Sun. An initial recitation of the annual BC statistics: 1,300 crashes involving cyclists resulting in, on average, 10 fatalities and more than 1,400 injuries, sets the stage for a straightforward imperative: both drivers and cyclists need to know the rules of the road and abide by them. Because drivers are qualified by strict and strictly enforced legal requirements, the stated assumption is that “drivers already know what to do.” Because “anyone can purchase a bicycle and ride it” the stated and, alas, not unreasonable assumption is that “many cyclists either don’t know the provincial laws and city bylaws that govern cycling, believe they don’t apply to them or deliberately flout them as if to say, “Catch me if you can.”
The “memo” goes on to describe what laws apply to cycling—the BC Motor Vehicle Act and municipal bylaws—in Vancouver, the City of Vancouver Street and Traffic By-Law No. 2849—and then lists eight rules described as only “a small sample” of the “laws on the books that cyclists break every day.” Harsh maybe, but with a laudable premise: that cyclists following the required rules would prove to drivers that they are “rightful users the road” and would help make the roads safer for all.
The second, I am the speeder I despise was a letter to the editor of the North Shore News. The writer describes being stopped for driving 65 km/h in a 50 km/h zone on his home street. The police officer said,
“We were called by you (the people living on this street) because you complained that there are too many people speeding here. We have been here the whole morning. And guess how many people we stopped who do not live on this street? Zero! The only guys who drive like
there is no tomorrow are you! You people living here!” For the letter writer, “This was the moment where it dawned on me… It was not them—it was us!” The frustrated and wise police officer suggested to the ‘speeder’ that he write a letter to his local newspaper describing and explaining what he had learned. We say ‘Hats Off’ to both ‘authors’ of this extraordinary letter.
The third safety article was by Jon Ferry, the Editorial Pages Editor of The Province newspaper who often writes about traffic and road safety issues. Mr. Ferry states his case in the headline and subhead: —Clearer signs are needed on BC roads–Poor signage in the Lower Mainland causes driver confusion and indecision. He reports numerous examples of “terrible [signage]… signs that are “too late and …not big enough” and “not marked clearly.” He notes, “This can lead to tragic accidents.” While acknowledging divided responsibility amongst different levels of government as a partial cause, he calls for “a fresh pair of eyes and a bold new visionary approach to improving this critical aspect of road safety.”

THE PRESIDENT of Surrey’s Guru Nanak temple is promising local residents will be consulted and steps will be taken to limit noise before another Miri Piri celebration takes place.
Bikramjit Singh Sandhar is off ering to meet with representa-tives from several nearby townhouse complexes who complained about the noise from the week-long celebration of the Sikh faith at the Scott Road temple.
Sandhar said during the event, when some people who live nearby complained about the noise and fumes from an portable electri-cal generator, it was moved away from them.
He added the temple intends to relocate the carnival rides that drew complaints this year for being too close to a residential complex.
“It was our fi rst Miri Piri,” Sandhar noted, referring to the fi rst such event organized
by the new temple board of directors who took control of North America’s second-largest Sikh Gur-dawara earlier this year aft er a hotly con-tested election.
Th is year’s celebra-tion drew a larger than expected turnout with crowds of up to 25,000 a day during the event,
which ran from July 11 to July 17.
Speakers at the Guru Nanak event included
Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and other repre-senta-tives from
council and local RCMP.
Residents who complained about the noise said this year’s Miri Piri celebration
was considerably larger and louder than previous versions.
“You could not talk in your own house,” said Janet Brown, a resident if the 86-unit Glenwood housing complex. “It was unbe-lievable.”
Brown and other area residents said in previous years, the sound from Miri Piri events had been loud but bearable, but this year it was far worse.
Th ey blame the carnival rides, a large outdoor electrical gen-erator and an ampli-fi ed sound system that broadcast announce-ments as early as 6:30 a.m. through speakers that were within 50 feet of one housing development.
Some residents are circulating a petition demanding the enforcement of municipal noise regu-lations.
Anna Razny, who lives in the 24-unit Kirkbridge housing complex, said it was so noisy, people had to keep their doors and windows closed despite the heat.
“You feel a like a prisoner in your own home,” Razny said.
Ed Gibbons, who is vice president of the strata council at the 186-unit Highlands housing complex, said previous Miri Piris had been noisy but toler-able and the previous temple administration
had made eff orts to reduce the impact.
He was pleased to hear the new president
was interested in discussing the issue with local residents, but said he will wait

OPINION Friday July 23 20106
The RCMP have had several tough years, and many people are won-
dering if the national police force should remain in the local policing business, as it is in Surrey.
Unquestionably, the force’s lowest point was the Taser-related death of Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver International Airport in 2007. Th e four offi cers involved did not show a lot of the presence of mind that one would associate with good polic-ing, and the force as an organization went into full cover-up mode aft er the Polish man’s death. Only a video by fellow traveller Paul Pritchard, one which the RCMP tried to keep from the public, told the full story of what happened.
Surrey RCMP is the largest detachment in the country. As such, it off ers an unparalleled ability to train new offi cers in modern-day policing. Surrey is a multicultural community, and police have to interact with peo-ple from many diff erent backgrounds every day.
Th e RCMP have rec-ognized Surrey’s value to the force as a whole by planning to relocate the E Division (which has responsibility for B.C. operations) headquarters in Surrey. Th is is a big benefi t to Surrey, as it means there will be a lot of good-paying jobs here and the Surrey detachment will have easy access to headquarters.
Meanwhile, the provin-cial government will soon be making a decision as to whether it will renew the provincial policing contract with the RCMP. Th is is a very important decision and must not be made lightly.
Th e Gordon Campbell government trend has been to relinquish some
B.C.-related decision-making powers to the federal government. It has done so with national parks and most recently with the HST. Th us its natural tendencies seem to lean towards the status quo with the RCMP.
Renewal may not be a bad decision, but the gov-ernment must play hard-ball with the RCMP before agreeing to renew the contract. Th ere must be more accountability to the provincial government, local municipalities and the public at large. As the
Braidwood Commis-sion report recom-mended, police should not have the ability to investigate themselves.
Th is power must go to a civilian
agency with no ties to the law enforcement establish-ment.
Th e local detachments must also be given more autonomy from the national force than they have at pres-ent. Surrey RCMP needs to have better ties with the city, which pays the lion’s share of RCMP salaries, and with the community at large. Th ere needs to be more preference given to hiring police offi cers who are Sur-rey natives, and they should have the ability to stay here.
Surrey RCMP need to be able to set their own policies which may not always fi t in with national policies. Ottawa has no idea about local conditions in Surrey and should have limited ability to tell local police how to do their day-to-day business.
Surrey RCMP can take a cue from local police departments in Delta, Vancouver and Abbotsford about how to communi-cate eff ectively with the public – something that is not always done well in Surrey.
RCMP status quo?

SUMMER VACATION
Do you think the B.C. government should do more to help problem gamblers?
Here’s how you responded: Yes 39% No 61%
LAST WEEK WE ASKED:
The Surrey/North Delta Leader
So, what are you doing on your summer holi-days?
It’s a frequent question these days, espe-cially as the kids make use of their dramati-
cally expanded social interaction time.Th e common answers are indicative of the affl u-
ent society in which we live.Horse-riding camp.Volleyball camp.Cabin at the lake.A week at the beach.Trip to Disneyland.Going on a cruise.Visiting relatives in Ontario.Going to Europe.Wow...Kids, or at least those who have par-
ents with middle to upper incomes, are incredibly fortunate these days.
Just the sheer volume of available choices in terms of activities and desti-nations is almost overwhelming.
You know what I’m going to say next.Back when I was a kid ...You’re right, that’s where I’m going.My folks weren’t wealthy, but we
were comfortable. We had disposable income – and most of it went to paying off the mortgage on the hobby farm, all $20,000 of it. Hard to believe that pid-dling sum gave my fi nancially conservative parents the chills. Nowadays, that’s a modest car loan!
Th e contemporary practice of assuming a debt load two, three, even fi ve times greater than annual household income is simply not a concept my folks could have ever imagined.
In any event, their fi scal caution had a bearing on most things we did, including summer holi-days.
For my father, there weren’t any. Ditto me and my mother. When dad was working out of town, which was almost always, we were the ranchhands.
Th ere were steers and dogs and cats to feed, hay to bale, crops to gather, fences to fi x, and poop to shovel.
Couldn’t exactly leave the critters to fend for
themselves while we went gallivanting about for a week or two.
Besides, as far as dad was concerned, holidays were for retired people.
Fathers had jobs, and sons and wives looked aft er the chores.
Hence, my vacation “cabin” was a tree fort in the bush.
Th e “lake” was the neighbour’s pond.Going on a cruise involved building a crude raft .Onboard entertainment was watching in horror
as it slowly began to sink in mid-pond, madly poling the failing vessel toward shore, struggling through the boot-sucking mud, and then squeez-ing the goo out of one’s socks and pants.
Th e fun activity camps were a bit rudimentary as well.
We didn’t have horses, so the steers had to suffi ce. Considering we were also lacking saddles, the rid-ing was very short-lived, but quite action-packed, if not almost always acutely painful.
Overseas trips? Th at would have been a rainy aft ernoon spent with a stack of National Geographics.
Visits to relatives? All in Europe. See overseas trips, above.
Mom – also aff ectionately dubbed the “nanny goat” of the Bavarian
Alps – did oft en take me hiking in my early years.However, the experience of labouring up several
thousand feet of steep mountainside in sweltering heat, through clouds of insuff erable black fl ies, just didn’t hit the holiday vibe with me at a tender age.
Aft er a few years, I got it. Still have it too, and duly bestowed same upon my own child, who still occasionally questions the “irresistible” lure of the wild.
Much more exciting to climb onto a jet aircraft and go somewhere exotic.
Indeed, and so we shall.Lucky kid.
Andrew Holota is the editor of the Abbotsford News, Th e Leader’s sister paper.
I am puzzled that Surrey Councillor Marvin Hunt is still trying to determine whether Vancouver city council has any “scientifi c evidence for opposing com-bustion (of waste).”
Th ere are many scientists and professors who are interested in the preserva-tion of air and land quality who disagree with incinera-tion. Perhaps the Vancouver councillors have heard the arguments by UBC Professor Douw Steyn, Dr. I. G. McKendry, Professor
Howard, and reports con-ducted by the Society for Ecological Medicine KPMG or the Vancouver Board of Trade. Th ese scientifi cally based anti-incineration reports are all found on the Metro Vancouver website (except for Professor Steyn’s of course, let us remember he lost his funding for having publicly announced contrary opinions to Metro’s plans).
What is also a disturbing bit of science is that on average, 3,340 Canadians will be diagnosed with can-cer every week (Canadian
Cancer Society website, general cancer statistics) furthermore, when garbage is burned it produces diox-ins and dioxins which can cause cancer.
Mr. Hunt apparently has no concerns about emissions. I do, and many scientists do as well.
Th e reality is that we all need to be far more con-scious of the waste we are creating everyday and that burying or burning is not an indefi nite answer – not if we want to remain healthy.

AGAIN A (YOUNG) life has been snuff ed out by some-one with a ready gun. A terrible tragedy for family and friends of this Surrey teenager (Adem Aliu).
It was mentioned in the media that this young-ster was apparently part of a group going around vandalizing cars that night. With all respect, if that is true, he had, in some measure, a hand in his own demise.
While this 17-year old did not deserve to die, he was participating in senseless vandalism. Th is was not “stupid kid stuff .”
Perhaps the friends will honour his memory by doing the right thing: To step up so that they may be charged with vandalism and/or mischief, which led to the death of one of them.
My sympathy to the family.

LAST WEEKEND, a Good Samaritan touched my life.
I was at Crescent Beach with a girlfriend and her two small children.
We were having an awesome day, but when it came time to leave, my pouch with car keys, house keys, driver’s licence, credit card etc., was nowhere to be found.
I remembered that I had left it in the wash-room, but by then the washroom was closed, as were the gates to where my car was parked. Fortunately, my girlfriend was able to call on a
friend of hers to request a ride home.As we were waiting for our ride, a police car
happened by, checking on some unruly teens in the area. I decided to approach the offi cer to request that my car not be ticketed under the circumstances.
To my surprise and elation, he handed over the pouch with everything intact.
I could not believe it and when I walked up to my friend with outstretched arm, her jaw dropped.
As you can imagine, it would have been a
huge nightmare trying to replace what was in that pouch, not to mention re-keying doors to my home, etc.
Th ere is no way for me to thank the person who returned my pouch, but hopefully they will read the paper and see this – I cannot fi nd the words to express my appreciation and it is so wonderful to see that some people still live by the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

WE WANT TO TAKE this opportu-nity to clarify and correct some of the information contained in Jeff Nagel’s July 12 story about the decision of an Independent Adjudicator (IA) over an objection fi led with the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) in the Fraser River sockeye salmon fi shery assessment.
Mr. Nagel’s article began by say-ing the independent adjudicator “swift ly overturned objections;” in reality, it was a deliberative and inclusive process over four months.
Th e article includes a quote from one of the objectors that says the MSC process is rigged; this is patently false. Th e MSC standard, methodologies and procedures were developed by hundreds of fi shery scientists, conservation organizations, industry, and others working collaboratively.
Furthermore, the MSC has a Board of Trustees, Technical Advisory Board and Stakeholder Council to ensure the MSC pro-gram remains the world’s leading and most credible environmental standard for the certifi cation of wild capture fi sheries.
Representatives from many envi-ronmental organizations are actively and collaboratively involved.
Th e article includes a quote claiming consumers could buy “endangered salmon,” but this, too, is incorrect. No sockeye salmon stock is offi cially listed as endangered under the Species at Risk Act (SARA) in Canada, and the certifi cation report addresses
the recovery of sockeye salmon subpopulations of concern. MSC certifi cation does not mark the conclusion of a process; rather, it marks the beginning of a defi ned and proactive plan to ensure sustainable fi sh stocks that can be tracked and accounted for over the fi ve-year life of a certifi cation program.
Th e Fraser River sockeye salmon certifi cation report includes 17 specifi c improvements to maintain certifi cation and annual surveillance audits will
evaluate progress. Leading B.C. fi shery scientists agree that, if met, these conditions will progress B.C. wild salmon policy signifi cantly.
Th e annual audits will provide a steady stream of new data that, along with the certifi er’s 600-page assessment report, will be available to the Cohen Commission.
Th ere are 29 fi sheries across Canada actively engaged in the MSC program and more than 200 fi sheries worldwide. Fisheries around the world who voluntarily participate in the MSC certifi ca-
tion program have brought about substantial and positive changes and a report earlier this week regarding the B.C. Nass River sockeye salmon fi shery already shows improvements as a result of MSC certifi cation.
Everyone is welcome to visit the MSC website for more informa-tion: http://www.msc.org.

Surrey supports churches
RE: CHRIST THE Redeemer Angli-can Church.
I would like to clarify an issue brought up in the June 25 edition of Th e Surrey Leader’s letters page.
A parishioner of Christ Church/Christ the Redeemer Anglican Church stated that the City of Sur-rey “has targeted its churches” for revenue via property taxes, a claim which is simply not true.
Churches and the property they use to support the function of the church building, such as park-ing lots, enjoy exemption from property taxes. Th is has always been and continues to be the case in Surrey.
Properties owned by religious institutions that are operated on a commercial basis and bring in revenue are subject to taxation.
Th e Cloverleaf Montessori Preschool is located on the land owned by the Christ Church/Christ the Redeemer Anglican Church and is classifi ed by B.C. Assessment as a childcare facility.
As such, the preschool is subject to paying property taxes.
Unfortunately, B.C. Assessment placed the preschool property in a class 6 assessment designation as opposed to the correct class 1 assessment designation.
Th e result was the incorrect $7,045.85 property tax invoice mentioned by Mr. Archibald.
B.C. Assessment’s error has been identifi ed and corrected.
Th e preschool property taxes have been signifi cantly reduced to $2,243.64.
Christ Church and the city have always had a good relationship and I have personally discussed the current issue with Reverend Craig Vance of the church.
Together with dedicated city staff , we have set things right aft er the regrettable B.C. Assessment mistake.
Houses of worship play and important role in our city.
I wish to emphasize, on behalf of Surrey council, that the City of Surrey will not put fi nancial strain on the faith leaders of our community, but partner with them in strengthening our won-derful city.

SURREY BEND IS a big bulge of wetland and forest jutting into the Fraser River at the north end of the city.
And aft er decades of waiting, the area should be formally declared Metro Vancouver’s new-est regional park later this year.
At 348 hectares, it will nearly rival Stanley Park in size and be by far the biggest park in Surrey.
Metro’s parks com-mittee approved a man-agement plan for the regional park July 13.
Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt, who serves on the parks committee, said most of the new park – located near 175 Street and 112 Avenue – will be kept in its natural state.
“It’s designed to be remote for the real environment lover type of people,” he said.
“People in Fraser Heights who don’t want to go across the freeway to Tynehead will use it extensively,” Hunt predicted.
Metro backed off on a more intensive network of trails in Sur-rey Bend aft er hearing
public concerns about habitat and wildlife impacts.
Initial trails will be con-structed in the eastern third of the park, most relatively close to the river. Walking and
cycling trails further west will be held for future development.
“Th e number of trails through the whole of the park were reduced,
which is good,” said Surrey Environmental Partners representative Kevin Purton, who lob-bied for the changes.
“As soon as you get hundreds of people in there, it’s going to aff ect the way the wildlife moves,” he said. “You get people trampling brush, making new trails and interrupting the natu-ral process.”
Purton said Sur-rey Bend acts as an important wilder-ness transition area between the rest of Surrey and wild areas north of the Fraser like the Coquitlam River, Burke Mountain and Pitt Lake.
“It’s a huge area – it’s wilderness in the city.”
Th e most developed part of the park will be in the southeast corner – once a light industrial zone – where a 110-stall parking lot is planned, along with a picnic shel-ter, public washrooms, children’s play area and interpretive program areas.
Th ere will also be a viewing platform/pier jutting into the river and a trail at that corner of the park will connect to the Barnston Island ferry at the east end of 104 Avenue.
Purton said Metro agreed to reduce the size of the parking lot, eliminate a planned power boat launch and steer the radio-controlled airplane club to other sites.
A Metro staff reportsays the important bog ecology of Sur-rey Bend will be protected under the management plan.
Th e City of Surrey still has to approve the management plan and grant Metro a 99-year lease for the land.
Detailed design work would begin this fall, with the park opening to public use in 2013 or 2014.
Work to preserve Surrey Bend began in 1975, when the regional district proposed using part of the area as a landfi ll, triggering a lengthy eff ort to protect the area as an ecological reserve.
Property for the park has been in public hands for at least a decade.
Th e planned trail sys-tem will open up a huge area of the Fraser River foreshore for public use.

A 25-YEAR-OLD Surrey man fell into the river canyon at Cascade Falls Regional Park in Mission, and was pulled under the water just before 5 p.m. Monday.
Hatzic resident Mariusz Kubisz and his 12-year-old daughter Ida were with the victim and his girlfriend at the
park, which features a waterfall in a steep, rocky canyon.
Th e Surrey man’s girlfriend saw him fall from a slippery ledge. He may have been injured before he went into the water, falling about four meters.
An emotional Kubisz said he searched the pool of water for his friend for 40 minutes. As he searched, he could feel the strong current from the water-
fall pulling him down, and he was forced to swim back into safer water.
“It felt like my own life was fi ft y-fi ft y,” Kubisz said.
Th e cold water also ham-pered his ability to search against the current.

A FIRE BAN is being enacted in Surrey as the B.C. Wildfi re Management Branch fl ags hazardous fi re conditions throughout the region.
Weeks of hot and dry weather conditions has created dangerous fi re conditions throughout the region, causing the province to ban all open fi res, including campfi res, tiki torches, fi reworks or burn-ing barrels.
Surrey is enacting a further step by including charcoal barbecues, but propane devices are per-mitted.
Some tips to preventing fi res during the hot weather include :
• Dispose of smoking materials properly and make sure they are completely extinguished.
• Don’t leave barbecues unattended and ensure they are turned off properly aft er you have fi nished using them.
• Explain to children the dangers of playing with and lighting fi res.
• Properly dispose of bottles and broken glass you fi nd outdoors to prevent them from magnify-ing the sun’s rays and starting a fi re.

THE B.C. government is proposing to do away with terms such as “cus-tody” and “access” to reduce the battles over children and property that oft en accompany marital breakup.
Attorney-General Mike De Jong says traditional legal terms that suggest “winners and losers” are not appropriate for family law, and getting rid of them is a key part of the fi rst overhaul of B.C.’s Family Relations Act since it was written in
the 1970s. A discussion paper released Monday suggests that child “custody” should be called “guardianship” and “access” should be called “parenting time.”
De Jong said the law needs to be modern-ized to refl ect current trends such as frequent divorce, common-law relationships and same-sex marriage. One of the proposed changes
would extend property division rules to include people who have lived together for two years in a “marriage-like relationship” or have children together.
Property owned before the relation-ship or inherited by one partner could be excluded under the proposed changes.
Tracy Porteous, execu-tive director of the End-
ing Violence Association of British Columbia, said criminal court protec-tion orders should be available to family courts when deciding issues such as child custody and access.
“In the last 15 years in this province, 153 people have died as a result of domestic violence, and many of those deaths are women and children who have been involved in divorce,” Porteous said.
Groups and individu-als have until Oct. 8 to comment on the pro-posed changes, posted
on the government’s website at www.ag.gov.bc.ca/legislation.
De Jong said the intent is to draft amend-ments to the Family
Relations Act to be considered by the legis-lature next year.

GUARDED excitement mixed with concerns about parking and the lack of rental housing greeted the City of Sur-rey’s latest update on its plans to redevelop the Cloverdale Mall site.
Th e former “Safeway” mall – long considered an eyesore – is at the centre of the city’s long-range plans for Clo-verdale Town Centre, mayor Dianne Watts told downtown business owners last week.
Th e city acquired the eight-acre parcel in 2007 with the intent of redeveloping the site, bordered by 57 and 58 Avenue between 176 Street and the bypass, as part of revitalization eff orts in the historic town centre.
“It’s certainly very exciting,” Cloverdale Business Improvement Association president Lyle MacMillan said, calling the city’s plans for the site “long overdue”.
Th e fi ve-stage pro-posal, part of a master plan developed last year, would see the nearly vacant mall and its expansive outdoor parking lot transformed into a urban village with shops, townhomes and public spaces.
Big anchor stores – like the former Safeway that originally anchored the mall – aren’t part of the plan.
“Th e purpose here is to have an urban town centre,” Watts said. “When we start putting another anchor tenant with acres of parking, it just takes away from everything that we want to do.”
Once complete, the redevelopment could be home to between 800 and 1,000 new down-town residents living in a variety of higher density housing – some on top of commercial, in stand alone units or townhouses, some 360 to 400 units in all.
“I know the mer-chants down on Main Street, year aft er year, aft er year – I mean the 20 years I’ve lived in Cloverdale – they’ve always said we need the population down-town to make the area vibrant,” Watts said.
She also confi rmed that rental units for seniors and fi xed income earners are not part of the current master plan.
An agreement for completing the fi rst three phases is in place between the city’s devel-opment corporation, architect Patrick Cotter, and a development company called Town-line Group.
Cotter, joining the mayor at the BIA’s annual general meeting July 7, indicated the project hinges on the key proposed resident of the development – the Cloverdale Legion, home of Branch 6 for 60 years.
Th e building would be demolished and rebuilt inside phase one of the proposal, a fi ve-storey building with four fl oors of residential and the 8,000 square-foot legion on the ground fl oor. Parking would go underground, with some street park-ing available.
Branch 6 members heard a presentation from the City of Surrey Development Corpora-tion and others last week.
Th e legion’s approxi-mately 800 members would have to approve the concept, along with Dominion Command, president Pat Otrom said.
He predicted propo-nents will have to work hard to win the support of the branch’s mem-bers, who “tarred and feathered” presenters at a project update at the legion in April.
Townline’s TL Hous-ing Solutions is experi-enced in working with Royal Canadian Legionsin building indepen-dent living retirement projects, including Th e Poppy Residences above Burnaby’s Branch 83.
“Th ey were instru-mental” in getting the city’s Cloverdale joint venture rolling, Cotter said. “Th at was really key for us to unlocking the whole of the site,” he said.
“It’s a win-win situation, with the new facility for the legion embedded into the fi rst phase of development.”
Th e approval process at city hall was initiated two months ago, mean-ing construction on the initial phase could get underway early next year.
“So it’s a fairly aggres-sive time frame,” Cotter said.

IF YOU’RE THIRSTY, you may want to check your iPhone.
Metro Vancouver is preparing to launch an app that fi nds locations of drinking water fountains throughout the region.
A web database is to provide the same infor-mation to other mobile phones like Blackberrys and Androids.
Metro offi cials also intend to include loca-tions of restaurants and hotels willing to make tap water available to the public.
Managers say the water fountain iPhone app is one of Metro’s strategies to try to reduce
bottled water use 20 per cent by this year.Metro Vancouver also opted to spend
$200,000 recently on two water wagons to distribute drinking water at major public
events.
Salish Sea named
Th ere’s a new name to cover the col-lection of ocean waterways and inlets from Vancouver Island to Seattle.
Th e Salish Sea encompasses the Strait of Georgia, Juan de Fuca Strait, Desolation Sound and Puget Sound.
Th ose individual names are not changed or replaced – the Salish Sea is a supplemen-tal umbrella name, like the Great Lakes.
“Coast Salish peoples have traversed these
waters for thousands of years and this name pays homage to our collective history,” said B.C. Lt.-Gov. Steven Point at a formal nam-ing ceremony Th ursday featuring aboriginal leaders and dignitaries from both sides of the border.
Th e new name had previously been endorsed by B.C., the Geographical Names Board of Canada, the Washington State Geo-graphical Names Board, and the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.
Cards and turnstiles bid coming
TransLink has issued a request for propos-als for three pre-qualifi ed companies to bid to provide a new smart card and SkyTrain faregates system.
Th e bidding groups are Th ales/Octopus International Projects, maker of Hong Kong’s Octopus card, Serco/Parkeon, provider of a smart card system in Perth, Australia and Cubic/IBM, operator of the London Oyster card system.
A decision on a preferred proponent is expected by December.
Th e provincial and federal governments are providing $70 million, while TransLink will cover the remaining costs of the esti-mated $170-million system.
TransLink offi cials say it will help make the transit system more effi cient and eff ec-tive. Riders will load their card with cash and then swipe it by readers as they board and exit a transit vehicle or station, with pay-ment automatically deducted.

B.C. LOTTERY Corpora-tion’s new online casino remained shut down for a fi ft h day Tuesday, aft er player accounts were mixed up when the website went live with a sharply increased gam-bling limit of $9,999 a week.
Th e Crown corpora-tion issued a statement Tuesday describing a “data crossover” that caused some players to log on and get another registered player’s account. Th e glitch aff ected 134 accounts, and BCLC said a dozen of them had personal information such as names and account balances viewed by someone else before the site was shut down for repairs.
Th e website PlayNow.com had 135,000 reg-istered users who were using it to play lotteries and games online up to last week. On July 16, it relaunched as North America’s fi rst regulated online casino, open only to registered play-ers with Internet access within B.C. and the new playing limit.
BCLC said it is working with the province’s Information and Privacy Commis-sioner to protect player accounts and testing soft ware solutions to the problem. It insisted the problem was triggered by a rush of interest in new online casino games, aft er existing customers were joined by 150 new registrants before the shutdown.
“BCLC’s assessment, verifi ed by third party security experts, shows no evidence of external interference or ‘hack-ing’,” the statement said.
NDP critic Shane Simpson wrote to Hous-ing and Social Develop-ment Minister Rich Coleman on Tuesday, demanding an explana-tion for reports that BCLC has been fi ned $670,000 by a federal regulator for failing to report cash transactions of $10,000 or more.
BCLC chief executive Michael Graydon told Global TV Tuesday the fi nes were the result of clerical errors in the fi l-ing of fi nancial reports. He said the fi nes are
being appealed with FINTRAC, the fi nancial analysis centre set up by Ottawa to search for money laundering,
terrorist fi nancing and other illegal transac-tions.
Coleman approved the new PlayNow online
casino this spring, to allow BCLC to compete with online casinos that have rapidly taken a large market share
from gamblers in recent years. He argued that it is better for a players
to have a regulated site within B.C. rather than playing with no

Moira Doig has participated in several group exhibits at local art galleries in recent years.
Two years ago, she took the leap and booked her fi rst solo show at the Firehall Centre for the Arts in North Delta.
“I decided to push myself a little,” says the retired teacher.
By last year, however, it seemed to her that with arts funding cutbacks and cancelled shows, that was it for her dream. Yet in late March, she got a phone call from the arts centre asking if she was still planning a show.
Doig was back in business in “hustle-hustle-hustle” mode.
And it wasn’t hard for her to pick a theme, given the season at the time.
“Every spring I fall in love all over again with tulips.”
Th e life of the tulip became a metaphor for the exhibit, titled Blossoms of a Certain Age.
Young, fresh tulips – “Th ey’re beautiful, they’re lovely. But with maturity – and being of a certain age myself – tulips become unruly.
“I’ve seen fl orists try to use them in arrange-ments. Th ey last one day because the stems keep growing and the arrangement is gone. Th e tulips predominate. Th e stems reach out and spread. As the fl owers mature, they open, they spread, they bend back, they twist, they contort and they twirl.
“Th ey look like they’re dancing. It’s sort of the dance of the tulips. Th e spirit’s there in the structure. It’s still interesting – there’s a metaphor from an aging, arthritic woman,” she says with a laugh.
To Doig, painted matured tulips look interesting – not fl orist-inter-esting but design-interesting.
Although there is a variety of styles and media in her exhibit, there’s an eight-painting acrylic section titled Th ey Dance. Th ough they weren’t painted consecutively,
they fl owers show a sense of motion, their petals gesturing to the viewer as they begin to age and fall away.
“I want there to be movement and energy in everything I do. Even
if I do a life drawing, I want to capture a movement or attitude or suggest there’s a story. I don’t want just a pho-tograph.”
Retired aft er teaching art and English from 1974-2002 at Sands Secondary, Doig con-
tinues to develop her art skills with groups such as Drawing
On Life in Ocean Park, and the Langley Arts Council’s Open
Studio in Fort Langley.Her second solo show will
be in Langley in the fall.Moira Doig’s exhibit, Blos-
soms of a Certain Age, runs at the Firehall Centre for the Arts
(11489 84 Ave.) until July 30, Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information,
call 604-596-1025 or visit http://deltaartscouncil.ca
Although there’s more art to see by Moira Doig at her
fi rst solo exhibit, the retired teacher has focused her brush
on tulips in motion. Below is the acrylic
paintin On the Ledge.

AFTER A BIG preseason victory last week over the Chilliwack Huskers, the Big Kahuna Rams are set this weekend to open the B.C. Football Conference (BCFC) regular season on the road against the defending champion Vancouver Island Raiders.
Th e two rival clubs, who met last year in the B.C. fi nal, will square off Saturday, 4 p.m. at Caledonia Park in Nanaimo.
Th e Rams will sport quite a diff erent look this year, especially aft er the departure
of starting quarterback Cam Clark, who left to join the University of Manitoba Bisons. Additionally, the handful of Toronto natives – including former starting running back Errol Brooks and lineman Lincoln Bryan – who suited up for the Rams last year are not back, nor is kicker Curtis Glawson, who will be replaced this year by rookie Nick Boyd.
But in their stead, the Rams, who fi nished with a 7-3 won-lost record last sea-son, will look to a handful of newcomers this year. Many of the fresh faces played promi-
nent roles in last weekend’s 36-0 preseason win.
At quarterback, second-year pivot Jon Ellingson – nephew of former CFLer, and former Ram, James Ellingson – started the game, and ran an eff ective off ence, although several deep throws were off the mark.
In the second quarter, another newcomer, Nathaniel White – a former Earl Mar-riott Mariner who most recently played high school football in Virginia – took over the quarterbacking duties, also performing well.
Th e Surrey squad got
touchdowns from running back Carlos Garziano, wide receiver Brian McLean – on a 30-yard toss from White – and reigning BCFC special teams player of the year Nick Downey, who returned the game’s fi rst punt 45 yards for a score.
Shane Poberznick also returned the Huskers’ second-half kickoff for a touchdown.
White threw two more touchdown passes in the fourth quarter – one to former White Rock-South Surrey Titan Zach Middleton and another to Surrey Bears alum Ryan Taylor.

FOUR LOCAL football players contributed to a bronze medal win by Team B.C. at the Canada Cup tournament last week in Wolfville, Nova Scotia.
Johnthia Fernandez of Holy Cross high school was named the defensive player of the game for B.C. in the bronze medal game, a 38-3 win over Nova Scotia. It was the second such honour for Fernandez.
Buddy Hutchinson of the Seaquam Seahawks was the defensive player of the game in a semifi -nal contest, a 33-2 loss to Saskatchewan.
Defensive lineman Anthony Ganton and wide receiver Jacob Carvery, both of the Sands Scorpi-ons, were also members of Team B.C.
Seaquam head coach Kris Pechet served as Team B.C.’s receivers coach.

Golfi ng for a causeThe Hazelmere Ladies and Senior Men’s Annual Charity Golf for a Cure tournament, held on May 24 at the Hazelmere Golf Club in Surrey, raised more than $18,000 for the BC Cancer Foundation in support of the
Breast Health Service at the BC Cancer Agency’s Fraser Valley Centre.
Banking on youthTHE ROYAL Bank Company (RBC) has been a long-time supporter of the Catching the Spirit youth program, and continued its dedication this year with a donation of $25,000.
RBC has provided more than $160,000 for Catching the Spirit over the past decade.
Th e program takes place annually at four Metro Vancouver Regional Parks each summer: Burnaby Lake, Tynehead, Capilano River, and Pacifi c Spirit.
It is a “for youth, by youth” camping experi-ence that encourages leadership skills and social responsibility through environmental stewardship.
Participants work with peer leaders their own age in habitat restoration, invasive species removal, and education within our regional parks. Other sustainable initiatives taken on by youth include a zero-waste challenge, water conservation techniques, and a campaign against the use of bottled water.
Catching the Spirit is an overnight weekend program that runs until the end of August, and is provided free of charge to participants thanks to the generosity of donors such as RBC.
Student’s effort adds upTHE CERTIFIED GENERAL Accountants Association of B.C. has announced that Amandeep Sohal of Surrey has been awarded a Grade 12 Graduate Continuing Education Tuition Scholarship for the 2009-10 academic year.
Sohal is a graduate of L.A. Matheson Secondary School. In addition to being an honours student, she excels in fi ne arts, has received several student awards and works part-time in the hospitality industry where she has been selected as an employee of distinction.
Each year, CGA-BC awards 10 $750 tuition scholarships to stu-dents graduating from high schools throughout the province. Th e funds are payable to the post-secondary institution the recipients will be attending as a credit toward their tuition. Th e scholarships are merit-based, awarded to students who meet specifi c criteria including academic excellence and extra-curricular activities.

Investment Network president Don Campbell. ›› p.2

MAGGIE CALLOWAY
A family home is always a good invest-ment. A home provides a focus for the family, it provides security of place for the children and, equally important, it grounds the family in the community.
For years, many homeowners have treated the family home as a cash cow. Buoyant real estate markets over the past decade, coupled with low mortgage interest rates, made real estate gurus of many Metro Vancouverites.
What some of these ‘gurus’ lost sight of was what the family home should represent: a family dwelling, a refuge, a shelter from the ups and downs of daily life.
However, those who are in the market for a family home that they will live in, will
likely fi nd it helpful to educate themselves about what is available in the Metro Vancou-ver area.
Th e Real Estate Investment Network, one of Canada’s leading real estate research, education, and consulting organizations, does in-depth research based on the latest statistics, economic and social trends.
Its latest report is an analysis of key
Invest in the best: beautiful B.C.Metro Vancouver houses hot spots for real estate investment

It’s a great time to house-hunt for a new home in B.C.
According to the B.C. Real Estate Asso-ciation, residential sales in the province de-clined by 23 per cent to 7,722 units in June compared to the same month last year.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, residen-tial sales posted to the industry’s listing service declined by fi ve per cent from May to June this year, but the average Mul-
tiple Listing Service price climbed by eight per cent to $499,908 in June com-pared to June 2009, says the BCREA.
But slower sales can be good news for homebuy-ers.
“Market conditions have shift ed from bal-anced conditions at the start of the year to a buy-ers’ market this summer,” says BCREA chief econo-mist Cameron Muir.
In June, there was 9.3 months of supply on the market given current sales activity, up from 5.6 months in January 2010.
“Tighter credit conditions for homes with secondary suites and low-equity homebuyers have moderated consumer demand,” Muir notes.
Year-to-date, B.C. residential sales dollar volume increased 31 per cent to $21.4 bil-lion, compared to the same time last year.
Residential unit sales rose 17 per cent to 42,343 year-to-date, while the average MLS residential price climbed 13 per cent to $504,281 over the same period.

economic fundamentals for both investors and potential homeowners throughout North America.
REIN president Don Campbell says it is important for potential homebuyers to conduct research on every municipality in the Metro Vancouver area, if they are considering purchasing a home in the region.
“House prices in Vancouver are high and will stay there in the foreseeable future but we shouldn’t paint the whole area with the Vancouver numbers,” Campbell says.
“If a buyer wants to live in Vancouver, it is a fi nancial decision ... you have to be ready to make a fi nancial sacrifi ce and if that’s the lifestyle you are looking for it doesn’t get any better than that in Canada. If you are raising a family with an average income and you want a little bit of dirt, you do have to step outside Vancouver and look at the outlying regions.”
A recent REIN report that looks at the top investment towns in B.C. outlines the best places to invest in real estate in the province, and Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows came in second, right behind Surrey. Maple Ridge is also the fi ft h-best place to invest in real estate in Canada, ac-cording to REIN.
Other Metro Vancouver cities that made the top 10 provincial list include Abbotsford (third) and Vancouver (ninth).
According to the provincial report, B.C. is still poised to be one of the country’s
economic leaders in 2011 and 2012 as the economy fi nds its post-recession
footing and begins to create jobs.Th ese reports are also of par-
ticular interest to the real estate investor, but homeowners can gain great insight into where the deals
are and which areas of the Metro Vancouver are thought to be vibrant.
Campbell likens homebuying to play-ing sports.
“One of the things I tell people who are buying is you are playing both off ence and defense, because in defense, these areas – percentage-wise – drop less when the market slows down, and they go up more quickly when the market goes up,” he says.
“So no matter what the market does, you win. Now with the interest rates going up, (homebuyers) must remember we are still at historic low rates.”
In the Lower Mainland, communities with
easy access to major transportation routes, TransLink bus lines and West Coast Express stations are in demand.
One of these, Maple Ridge, has already benefi tted from the new Pitt River Bridge and Golden Ears Bridge.
Th is region has been hampered by poor transportation infrastructure for decades, saysREIN, and consequently property values have

in June, reports the Canadian Real Estate Association, along with number of newly listed homes.
Led by lower activity in Toronto and Calgary, seasonally adjusted national home sales (via the MLS) receded 8.2 per cent in June, says the CREA.
Although near-record levels were re-corded in the fi rst quarter, the CREA cites tightened lending regulations and antici-pated interest rate hikes as reasons for the more moderate sales activity.
While the number of newly listed homes on the Canadian MLS declined by 6.8 per cent in June compared to the previous month, a declining trend in new listings “will help maintain the balance between supply and demand, and temper home price volatility,” says the CREA.
Th e national average price of homes rose 4.9 per cent across the country, on a year-over-year basis, to $342,662.
While the market is becoming more challenging for sellers, buyers now have more choice and less competition.
“National home sales activity is easing due to fewer and more cautious fi rst-time homebuyers,” says CREA chief economist Gregory Klump.
While the pricing environment is becoming more challenging, “A recover-ing economy and job market will provide support for housing activity and prices,” Klump says.

been historically lower than other regions.But, with the new transportation links,
Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows will be among the most accessible regions in Metro Van-couver; local experts say this will drive de-mand for both residential and commercial/industrial property as values rise.
As well, the expansion of Highway 1 and the new Port Mann Bridge will make this area an extremely desirable place to live, says
Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin.“Not only are we considered one of the
top places to invest and live in B.C., we are fi ft h in the whole country,” Daykin notes.
“For a town our size that is fantastic. Transportation in and out of Maple Ridge has been challenging over the years, but with the two new bridges, this has been solved.”
Daykin says that despite past transporta-tion problems, Maple Ridge has continued to grow because it off ers great value, natural beauty while retaining a sense of rural charm, “that small-town feel.”
He points out the access to outdoor recre-ation is superb, “but we also off er a vibrant
arts and culture community.”“Th e quality of life Maple Ridge off ers is
extremely good,” Daykin says.“For people who commute to work, we
have the West Coast Express, which gets people into Vancouver in an hour in great comfort.”
Maple Ridge is expanding faster than ever, Daykin adds.
A plan to increase density in the down-town core stemmed from the city’s Smart Growth from the Ground Plan, Daykin says.
In 2003, there were about 8,500 people living in the regional town centre (from the Fraser River to 124 Street, and from 221 Street to Burnett Street), and that is expected to increase to 20,000-22,000 – almost triple – over the next 10 years, says Daykin.
“We are making sure we are ready for growth when it comes by upgrading the services to this area,” he says.
With between 35,000 to 40,000 people moving to B.C. every year, communities such as Maple Ridge that have plans in place and are preparing infrastructure to handle a larger population will likely be the winners.
