$523,000 TransLink screens a ‘mindboggling waste’

MISSING PERSONS: Surrey RCMP still working on the city’s oldest cold case

by Kevin Diakiw

e liked to dress well and often dreamed of touring the world.

The part-time fisherman and cartoonist introduced his parents to the woman he said he’d married. He had bought her a diamond solitaire ring.

However, it turned out she was married to another man, and he couldn’t convince her to leave him.

Humphrey “Albert” Wilkinson lived alone with his dog in North Surrey, working as a carpenter for Martin Paper Co. in New Westminster.

On Jan. 29, 1957, his mother reported to police that her 30-year-old son hadn’t been seen in a week. She said he’d left his wallet and identification at home, but that he’d taken his dog and his gun with him.

The woman he was courting told investigators she felt Wilkinson was fed up and just wanted to get away. She didn’t believe he was of the mind to cause himself harm.

On the day he was reported missing, he was seen by an employee at the Woolworth’s in New Westminster who knew him as “Al.” His place of work hadn’t seen him in a week, and he failed to pick up his last paycheque. He didn’t mention to anyone at work that he was leaving, but had previously said to them he’d like to work in Cache Creek.

Police investigators have been unable to locate him in the Cache Creek area.

Others have said because of his dream of touring the world, Wilkinson may have joined the army, or sought employment elsewhere.

Police have determined he did not join the Canadian Army or contact any employment agencies about seeking work outside the Lower Mainland.

Some also said Wilkinson may have gone to northern B.C. to go fishing with a friend he referred to as “Old Man.” Police have been unable identify that friend or where he may live.

Wilkinson would be 84 years old today (June 7) and represents the oldest cold case ever handled on the Surrey RCMP’s Missing Person’s Unit.

TRANSLINK IS accused of wasting more than $523,000 in 2009 to put up 13 video screens at SkyTrain station entrances that now mostly do not work.

The LCD monitors and networked content players cost more than $40,000 each, according to the results of a Freedom of Information request filed by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF).

The video screens were to communicate SkyTrain system emergencies, closures and other information to transit riders, ending the practice of staff scrawling messages on sandwich boards outside stations.

“Any way you slice it, $40,000 for a TV screen in this day and age is mind-boggling waste,” said Jordan Jordan Bateman, Bateman the CTF’s B.C. director.

He said the only working screens were at Stadium Station when he recently checked them, while those at Scott Road, Edmonds and CommercialBroadway had vanished and ones at Lougheed were there but not operating.

Humphrey ‘Albert’ Wilkinson went missing from Surrey in 1957.

More screens: On hold, says TransLink From page 1

TransLink records show the Scott Road screens were damaged by vandals while others were offline as of August 2011 due to various technical failures.

Three-quarters of the money for the Station Entrance Emergency Information Panel (SEEIP) project came from a $391,000 federal Transit-Secure grant.

But Bateman said it was not good use of money earmarked to improve safety and security, regardless of whether taxpayers paid for it via the federal government or through TransLink.

The video screens at the entrances to the five stations are different from the more than 160 screens on all SkyTrain and Canada Line station platforms that can also transmit urgent messages.

Those were installed by TransLink’s advertising contractor at their cost and TransLink receives a share of the advertising revenue.

“The taxpayers didn’t have to pay a dime for that,” said Byron Montgomery, general manager for Lamar Transit Advertising.

Asked whether TransLink had tried to partner with Lamar on the station entrance screens, which were installed around the same time, he said they were separate initiatives.

Bateman said sandwich board messages may not be elegant but they work. He said it’s harder for passengers at a station entrance that has been closed due to a problem to peer through a grille at a video monitor inside.

TransLink officials said several of the out-of-service monitors are either being repaired or are temporarily covered up because of station renovations.

“This was put in as a safety measure,” TransLink corporate communications manager Jason Martin said.

He said plans to add more of the station entrance video screens in 2013 are under review, adding TransLink now makes much greater use of social media in communicating with passengers.

The cost of the project, which was in place in time for the 2010 Winter Olympics, included computers, a server, cables, software and other infrastructure.

Community rallies around pit bull victim, 91 Animal control officers have yet to disclose safety measures

elderly woman after she and her dog were attacked by pit bulls last month.

The Leader reported last week that 91-year-old Merle Polischuk was walking her 12-year-old sheltie Heidi near her home at 92 Avenue and 121 Street on Sunday, May 27.

A young man was walking two pit bulls across the street from her when they got loose and attacked Heidi.

Trying to intervene, Polischuk was

knocked down twice and sustained scrapes to her knees and bruises to her head, as well as a severe bite to her hand.

Meanwhile, the two terriers each had one end of Heidi and were pulling in opposite directions.

The man who was walking the pit bulls eventually got control of the dogs and neighbours called medical crews and city animal control.

After being patched up at the hospital, Polischuk was treated to a $1,400 vet bill.

Neighbours quickly started up a collection. They wouldn’t say how much was

raised, only that it isn’t enough to cover the medical costs.

Many people called The Leader offering help, one offering money, and Pampered Pets offered Heidi a free dog grooming session.

Polischuk was taken aback by the reaction.

“It was very nice of everybody, that’s for sure,” Polischuk said. “It’s like a big family in here (in her strata complex). There’s a lot to be thankful for.”

Some of these cases involve people who may have had medical or substance abuse issues, were fleeing difficult situations, or were involved in child custody issues.

Some have simply just vanished.

The Surrey RCMP’s Missing Persons Unit is comprised of seasoned investigators who work with multiple agencies to locate outstanding people. They also conduct follow up assessments after an individual has been located to ensure the safety of the individual going forward and to prevent any possible future occurrences.

Dogs: Not seized From page 3 A City of Surrey animal control officer visited Polischuk last Wednesday and said the city couldn’t seize the dogs because they were in the care and control of their owner.

He told her he would be making recommendations to his boss on how to proceed, but wouldn’t tell Polischuk what those recommendations would be.

The city’s animal control officer did not return Leader phone calls by press time Wednesday.

Polischuk’s neighbour, Nancy Brown, is concerned that two dogs responsible for such a violent attack are still roaming the neighbourhood.

Meanwhile, Polischuk remains confined to her own apartment complex, as she says she fears the animals will attack again and she won’t venture outside the gated community.

A Freedom of Information request by the Leader indicates that in the first nine months of last year, Surrey bylaw officers wrote 28 $200-tickets for dogs at large, the second-highest number of fines during that period.

Tenants and landlords speak out about suites ‘You can’t even afford a one-bedroom apartment nowadays’

by Kevin Diakiw NESTED COMFORTABLY

in a Green Timbers home containing multiple suites, she shuddered when the city announced it was moving to shut down the units.

With an estimated 4,000 homes containing multiple suites in the city, Bonnie Burnside believes there would be a mass displacement of renters, most with very few options of where to go.

Burnside lives in one of those homes and says she’s getting a great deal from friends. When word of a crackdown spread, she was not so much worried about herself, but about others who would be evicted.

Burnside thinks about the welfare of two of her sisters and a nephew, who live in homes with multiple suites.

“I was concerned,” Burnside said. “But I understand completely the fact that there are issues with these multiple suites.”

She acknowledges there may be a lack of inspection standards for homes with more than one extra dwelling unit.

In fact, city documents indicate there are no provincial guidelines for dwellings with more than one suite.

However Burnside said her sisters and nephew are in positions where they couldn’t afford to live elsewhere.

When those family members are displaced, it’s likely other family members will pick up the slack, in many instances housing them until they can find new accommodation.

“It affects more than just the moms with the kids,” Burnside said. “It affects other people too.

It affects the seniors who are living in (suites) who can’t afford anything else.

People do need a place to live.”

One of those people is Burnside’s sister Wendy Patterson.

Patterson has lived in a Newton home for three years. The onebedroom was new when she moved in, and her $550-per-month rent includes Hydro.

She was distressed when she heard the city is looking at closing down multiple suites.

“I’m not impressed at

all,” Patterson said. “If they end up shutting all of these down, I’m going to – within my budget – have no place that I can afford to go.”

It would mean moving out of the Lower Mainland, she said. And without a car, that means it’s unlikely she’d be able to work at Softball City.

If Surrey continues its push to close multiple suites, there’s going to be some heartache, Patterson said.

“All these people who are doing what they can, making ends meet and working, are finding a hard time finding a place to live,” Patterson said.

“You can’t even afford a one-bedroom apartment nowadays.”

on “extra pay for mayors who take TransLink seats” certainly opens the eyes of the regular guys who take the bus and SkyTrain.

There’s roughly $60,000 apiece in extra pay for the mayors who take up those TransLink seats – a big amount of money.

First off, these mayors are saying that it is not the money that motivates them. So let them do the job with, say, $30,000 or maybe even $10,000.

I would even challenge them to be performance-based with a base of $10,000.

They will be compensated more if their ideas and actions will help and lead TransLink to earn more profit.

Attending full-day meetings and taking in $1,000 per day is not performance-based.

We need to optimize the resources like what they are challenging TransLink to do in their internal audit to scrap more money.

In the meantime, we are facing the consequences of those cuts, such as twice delaying the King George express bus that is supposed to run from Surrey Central to White Rock via Fleetwood.

Postponing the bus that is supposed to run from Langley to Lougheed Mall along the new Port Mann Bridge is another price that we have to pay.

Next thing, these TransLink directors should be taking the transit if they have not already done so. Talk to commuters and do more international research and consultation on transit systems.

We pride ourselves as having one of the world’s best transit systems, but if we don’t resolve to address our funding sources, all planning will go down the drain.

Let’s all work towards a better system. We are facing a challenge now with the economic, social and political changes.

We need to move ahead fast and we all have to get to work.

Show us what you know about transit and how you can solve real problems and we will gladly pay you when the results show.

multiple suites in designated areas.

If the city is unwilling or unable to enforce a one suite authorization, it stretches the imagination to think they can enforce regulations allowing multiple suites in designated areas.

So it will be open season for the lawbreakers – law-abiding citizens, yet again, will pick up the tab.

It is estimated that there already over 4,000 multiple-suite homes, yet they are not allowed.

There are, by conservative estimates, 20,000 unauthorized single suites and these homeowners are not paying taxes on these.

In fact, Coun. Tom Gill estimated the number

to be in the 30,000 range.

At a bargain rate of $240 per year in taxes for these suites, a minimum of $7.2 million of additional revenue could be generated.

Enforcement to retrieve this lost revenue would be a fraction of this financial gain, but this seems far too expensive for Surrey to even contemplate.

As well, there is no effort by the city to ensure these unauthorized suites are brought up to electrical, gas and plumbing codes through the authorization process. This puts people at unacceptable risk.

The city has stated more than once that they prefer negotiation versus litigation to bring

these homeowners into line. For the lawbreakers this is code for “do whatever you want because there will be no consequences.”

I’m calling on law-abiding Surrey citizens to: a) Absolutely oppose any move to multiple suites; b) Insist that the City of Surrey enforce authorization of all existing unauthorized suites and ensure these meet all applicable building codes; and c) Insist that the city be far more open and transparent to the citizens of Surrey and build the trust that is currently so lacking.

Better tranquilizers than bullets RATHER THAN waiting for stray

LEADER FILE PHOTO

wild bears, and other such potentially dangerous animals (cougars are the best example), to threaten or attack humans before acting – which is usually to kill the wild bears – why not make it a solid habit to dose them with as much potent tranquilizer necessary to encase and relocate them all, alive and well?

But it appears that humanity’s superior-minded nature allows our collective conscience to simply shoot dead wild animals for reacting in their natural, predatory manner.

How can we justify snuffing out wild animals that stray into our communities when we were the ones who came along and procured them from their formerly-wild territory to make way for our own homes?

A girl touches a tranquilized black bear that was captured behind a Fraser Heights house in 2008. A letter writer suggests more effort is needed to relocate large mammals that stray into urban areas.

Suite nothings Smart meter marketing “TRYING TO FIX a 30-year-old problem” is what makes

a quick fix elusive, Mayor Dianne Watts is quoted as saying in the May 24 Leader regarding multiple illegal suites.

I am a bit perplexed, because she and city council have been saying the same rhetoric over and over again for the past two years with no results. It doesn’t seem hard to me – people who break bylaws should be held accountable and if they continue to break bylaws they should be fined. These sorts of rules in one form or another apply in all other democratic societies.

We need to ask ourselves again why bylaws are constantly being broken with no one ever being held responsible. Perhaps Surrey council truly wants every house to become a apartment block. Perhaps Surrey council wants no sense of community in neighbourhoods because two-thirds of every house is allocated to rental space. Perhaps Surrey council wants us to live in neighbourhoods where drug dealers can co-exist with children playing in yards.

All the multiple suites in my neighbourhood are in houses that are less than two years old (after the suite bylaw came into effect). I think that goes to show how the city really isn’t interested in enforcing their own bylaws regarding multiple suites.

Maybe we should take a page from North Delta, where they seem to have a better grasp on managing illegal suite issues.

provides little comfort

A NUMBER OF DOCTORS and public health officials have spoken out about the health risks of

the wireless smart meter mesh network, and some vulnerable people have already experienced effects such as headaches and sleep disturbance. Smart meter marketing phrases such as “a minute a day” of “time-averaged” smart meter radiation provide little comfort.

Smart meters emit millisecond-long signals, so just one minute of total signal time means we are exposed to thousands of bursts of radiation daily. Recently, under judge’s order, a California utility admitted that “45 seconds per day” actually means that each smart meter transmits radiation between about 10,000 and 190,000 times daily.

Various research papers show evidence that brief, high-intensity spikes can be more destructive to health than more sustained transmissions.

The house before the cart THE CITY OF Surrey’s engi-

neering department has conducted a pilot study since November 2010 of 1,000 households to test the new cart-based waste collection program. Impressive.

Apparently they overlooked townhouse projects which, in some cases, have 10 feet of sidewalk to their

front door with absolutely no room for any of the proposed carts. When I contacted the city , I was informed there would be no exceptions other than size of cart.

Storage was not their problem. No solutions were offered and you accept it or deal with the garbage and recycling and kitchen/yard

waste in accordance with their mandates on your own.

I thought there was a fee included in our property taxes to cover waste removal?

Do I back charge the city now? What is next? How do we accomplish that?

Homeowner: ‘A lot of people can’t afford expensive housing’ From page 5 “Basement suites are within those people’s budgets.”

Sarah Sharma owns three properties, one of which has multiple suites.

She sees it as providing affordable housing for those on lower incomes.

“There’s a need for that. A lot of people can’t afford expensive housing,” Sharma said. “The facility is there, and I think it is a great thing to share the living arrangement like that.”

Sharma has a property in southwest Panorama with two rental units – a coach house and a secondary suite.

The coach house is legal she said, adding the city began charging her an extra fee for the secondary suite last year.

“The city knows it, and the city has written a letter saying I know you have a kitchen there, and I said ‘yeah, we do’, ” Sharma said.

Because of that, she thought both were legal. However, Surrey’s secondary suite bylaw prohibits a suite when a coach house is rented.

Sharma, a realtor, also owns another property in Newton and one in Mission, neither of which has a suite.

She says the neighbours have no problem with her having the two rental units.

“As long as there’s enough parking available,” Sharma said. “Sometimes parking is a mess here, but we manage.”

She said the suites are important to some, because banks will want to know there is enough income coming in before approving a mortgage.

“It’s a great thing I think,” she says.

Some people have already been displaced as the city begins to enforce its bylaw.

Brittany Willmott, a 25-year-old care aide, just moved out of a North Surrey home with multiple suites

and saw bylaw officials come in and shut some of them down.

She was allowed to stay in one of the remaining suites, but she soon moved out to another home with multiple suites in Panorama Ridge.

She pays $600 for what she describes as a clean and large onebedroom suite.

“There’s a lot of one-bedrooms, but not a lot of places that will take pets,” Willmott said, adding she wouldn’t think of parting with her seven-year-old cat, Moe. The monthly rent is a bit above her comfort level financially, so she’s looking for a second job.

She said she’s hoping not to see the same type of bylaw crackdown at her new place, because at her price range, and with a pet, she’s running out of options.

“I can’t afford an apartment, and a lot of apartments don’t take pets – I would literally be living in my truck,” Willmott said.

City officials are currently exploring the possibility of allowing multiple suites in some zones in Surrey.

Surrey men arrested in ‘targeted attack’

FRASER VALLEY EQUIPMENT LTD. E THE POWER YOU WANT. THE VALUE YOU EXPECT.

Police say White Rock resident was rescued

by Dan Ferguson TWO SURREY men are

facing charges after a 24-year-old White Rock man was taken to hospital with serious injuries after a police raid rescued him from a home in the 15300 block of Pacific Avenue on May 24.

White Rock RCMP Const. Janelle Shoihet said this week the man’s eyes were swollen shut and he had a welt on the back of his head, but the victim was released after spending a day in hospital.

The man was one of two hurt in what police describe as a “targeted attack” on May 22.

The other man, a 40-year-old White Rock resident, suffered less severe injuries that did not require hospitalization, Shoihet said.

On Tuesday (June 5), police disclosed that two Surrey men have been charged with multiple criminal offences in connection with the alleged assaults and unlawful confinement.

Robert Orr, 28, was arrested on May 25 and Tyrone McDougall, 33, was arrested June 1.

Both McDougall and Orr have been charged with two counts each of forcible confinement, aggravated assault, assault and theft.

Orr is charged with additional counts of assault with a weapon and uttering threats.

The raid that rescued the alleged victim was carried out by members

of the White Rock RCMP and the CFSEU (Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit), the regional agency that investigates organized crime activity.

One witness interviewed by Black Press the day after the raid described it as a “takedown.”

The officers wore

blue uniforms and carried “bigger guns,” the woman said.

Police said they

believe the case is drugrelated, but does not involve gangs.

According to court records, both accused men were still in custody as of Wednesday morning.

McDougall and Orr were scheduled to appear in Surrey Provincial Court on Friday morning (June 8).

with the murder of 33-year-old Damon Michael Martin.

It was the morning of May 12, 2009, around 8:45 a.m., when Martin was shot in the stomach while inside a house in the Panorama Ridge area of Surrey.

Martin stumbled out of the house, attempting to flee.

He got as far as Highway 10 at 132 Street, when he collapsed on the roadside.

A passerby called 911, believing Martin had been run over.

When police arrived they saw that Martin had been a victim of a shooting, not a hitand-run.

An air ambulance landed on the busy roadway and rushed Martin to hospital but he died of his injuries a few hours later.

The murder wasn’t linked to drugs, gangs or organized crime.

It appears the victim and accused did know each other and some dispute may have taken place at the house.

Serafino, who police learned is a huge fan of the heavy metal band Motley Crue, changed his name to match that of the band’s guitarist Nikki Sixx.

Searches of court documents do list a Jeffery Alan Smith as having trouble with the law in Dawson Creek and Kelowna in the early 2000s.

Martin was also known to police, but he seemed to be on a different track of late, said police at the time of his murder.

Become a tree watering partner!

Like our kids, our trees need nurturing in their youth. In warm summer weather trees get thirsty and need water to replenish their fluids.

If you have a City street tree in front of your home, still in its youth, you can help give it a strong start by regularly watering it during hot, dry weather.

Due to the success of last year’s program, we are again offering refillable watering bags to Surrey residents to water 1-3 year old City street trees in front of their homes.

These “water smart” bags slowly release water into the soil over an eight hour period, reducing run-off and evaporation. Watering deeply once or twice a week is better for the tree and saves you time.

Get involved!

You can help by requesting a watering bag for the young City planted tree(s) in front of your home. We deliver the bags in June and pick them up in September. All you need to do is fill it up once a week.

$2.1M fine for fraud Securities commission also issues Michael Robert Shantz a lifetime trading ban

by Martin van den Hemel THE B.C. Securities Commission

has fined a Surrey man more than $2 million and issued him a lifetime trading ban for fraud and unregistered trading.

Michael Robert Shantz solicited German and Swiss residents to open trading accounts with Canada Pacific Consulting Inc. and claimed that the company would conduct gold futures or foreign exchange trading on behalf of them.

Shantz claimed he had 120 employees working for him in offices in Richmond and Vancouver, when in fact the Vancouver office was a facade and there was no office in Richmond.

According to the commission, 11 German and Swiss investors

deposited $1.5 million with Shantz’s consulting firm for investment in gold futures and foreign exchange, and described the investments as low risk.

The commission’s panel found the consulting firm had lied to investors about the nature of its business and its plans to invest their money.

None of the investors’ funds were invested as promised, and most of the money (some $1.2 million) was wired by Shantz to bank accounts in Spain, for unknown purposes, the commission said.

He also used $210,000 for his own purpose, the commission’s panel found.

The panel said the consulting firm sent investors falsified account statements showing

profits where none existed.

The statements were produced in Europe and sent to Vancouver for re-mailing to investors to make it appear that they came from the consulting firm’s Vancouver office.

The commission has permanently banned Shantz from trading in securities, purchasing securities or exchanging contracts, along with numerous other finance-related restrictions.

Shantz was ordered to pay the commission $1,530,004, which he obtained as a result of the illegal activity, as well as an administrative penalty of $630,000.

A cease trade order was also made relating to Canada Pacific Consulting.

Surrey Board of Trade will be formally inducted June 21 at its 48th annual general meeting and President’s Dinner.

Surrey-North Delta Leader Publisher Jim Mihaly has been named president, but says he’s not planning to reinvent the wheel.

“I’m not looking at any major changes. What we need to look at is building on what we do best and review areas where we can improve to better serve our members,” he said Monday, noting one of the board’s greatest strengths is its advocacy. “A big part of a board of trade is having a strong voice...we are known for that, it says a lot about the work that we’ve done over the years.”

He intends to continue a professional relationship with the other chambers of commerce in the city, including Cloverdale

and South Surrey-White Rock.

Plan now to draw 300 ships per year to Burrard Inlet

By Jeff Nagel KINDER Morgan has

pared down the size of its Trans Mountain pipeline twinning project, slightly reducing the number of oil tankers that would be expected to load up in Burnaby if the controversial expansion is approved.

The $4.1-billion pipe-

line expansion would now increase capacity from the current 300,000 barrels per day to 750,000 – down from a previous estimate of 850,000.

About 400,000 to 450,000 barrels per day, much of it diluted heavy crude from Alberta’s oil sands, would be allocated for export via tanker,

according to Kinder Morgan spokesman Andrew Galarnyk.

He said that translates into about 300 oil tankers a year calling on the Westridge Marine Terminal on Burrard Inlet, compared to 32 last year and a record of 69 in 2010.

Galarnyk said. “We’re probably going to be at the low end of that range now – probably 25.”

He said the tanker estimates assume continued use of existing Aframax size tankers, not larger Suezmax tankers that hold up to one million barrels, but which would require Port Metro Vancouver dredging the Second Narrows.

“Our project is going to stand alone on the current types of vessels that are calling on our facility.”

The project has been downsized because some shippers that would use the twinned pipeline failed to get the approval of their boards to sign binding contracts with Kinder Morgan.

The pipeline project would open up much more access for Canadian crude oil to reach new markets in Asia.

Kinder Morgan expects to launch community consultations in the weeks ahead, which would precede a formal project application to the National Energy Board at least 18 months from now.

The company aims to begin construction in 2016 and open the new line in 2017.

Retraction of property tax not legal: Crilly TransLink commissioner says commitment to add express bus routes still in limbo

by Jeff Nagel METRO VANCOUVER mayors had

no legal leg to stand on in April when they voted to rescind a property tax increase for TransLink that was originally passed last fall as a back-up measure to finance transit expansion.

TransLink Commissioner Martin Crilly made that point in a recent Mayors’ Council meeting, saying he could not allow the perception to remain that mayors could at any time revoke a legally binding supplement they previously approved.

“In my view the resolution that was passed has no legal force,” Crilly said in an interview. “I believe TransLink is obliged to deliver the services, projects and

programs that were approved in the 2012 Moving Forward plan.”

TransLink could not reasonably make plans if its funding sources were not binding and Crilly said he would never have let the mayors vote on the supplement if they could later change their minds and reverse it.

The mayors’ April 12 vote to cancel the $30-million property tax led TransLink to freeze several expansion projects, including the planned Highway 1 express bus service over the Port Mann Bridge and a new B-Line express bus down King George Boulevard in Surrey.

The decisions came after the province refused to grant new funding sources for TransLink.

But Crilly’s view that the retrac-

tion is not valid does not necessarily mean the tax hike and the bus service upgrades are back on again.

TransLink officials, acting in line with the mayors’ intent, have indicated they could draw up a revised supplement that replaces the existing one – eliminating the $23 property tax increase per average home over the next two years as well as projects that can’t be funded by other means.

The original supplement approved the two-cent gas tax hike in April and the property tax hike was to kick in only if the province and mayors failed to agree on a new TransLink funding source, which is what happened.

Crilly, however, said he’s still not sure how the property tax can legally be unwound.

“There is no reverse gear,” he said, noting that funding increases that mayors approve in a supplement become locked into TransLink’s base plan (over which mayors have no vote) for future years.

But at the same time, Crilly said he hasn’t found any enforcement mechanism in the legislation that could compel TransLink to raise its property tax, as authorized, to deliver the promised services.

One way out of the problem would be if renewed talks between the mayors and the province authorize a new funding source, such as the proposed vehicle levy shot down by the premier this spring.

Barring a breakthrough there, auditors dispatched by the prov-

ince would have to find large amounts of savings within TransLink, avoiding the need for the tax.

TransLink must craft any new plan it will take to the mayors by Nov. 1.

Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese, who wants the Highway 1 RapidBus to go ahead, said he’s willing to wait to see what the auditors uncover this summer.

But in the absence of a financial miracle, he said TransLink must proceed with its original plan, backstopped by the tax hike.

“If there are no sources of funding I feel very strongly that they need to go back to the original supplement, and use the property tax to carry on with the expansion plan, including the RapidBus in Langley.”

suffered unspeakable cruelties for more than 20 years in a civil war that has killed or displaced many millions of Afghan citizens.

There has been significant improvement in the lot of ordinary Afghans in the past decade since a United

Nations-authorized intervention that has targeted extremist groups such as the Taliban, however, it has come at a cost of foreign military and civilian lives too.

In Canada’s case, our military has taken the biggest share of this loss, with almost all of the 158 Canadians killed in Afghanistan

being soldiers.

The debate will rage on this country over whether Canada should have contributed to this effort, but every Canadian soldier who served in Afghanistan believed he or she was doing the right thing for the right reasons. And in many cases, these veterans can point to evidence that these efforts did bring positive change and a better standard of life for ordinary Afghans.

In memory of the 158 Canadians killed in Afghanistan, there will again be a Memorial Ride for the Fallen this Saturday.

The Ubique Unit of the 3rd CAV, Canadian Army Veteran Motorcycle Units, are putting on the third annual 3 CAV Ubique Memorial Ride for the Fallen on June 9, from Vancouver to Chilliwack.

The CAV is a group that is made up of veterans and veteran supporters that ride side-by-side, saluting the sacrifices of the past, present and future of the Canadian Armed Forces. Last year they unveiled the official “Highway of Heroes” sign on the ride.

The ride will be leaving from the parking lot of Trev Deeley Motorcycles, 1875 Boundary Rd., Vancouver, and will travel up Highway 1 enroute to the All Sappers Cenotaph on the corner of Vedder Rd. and Keith Wilson, Chilliwack, the corner of the former CF Base Chilliwack. Registration starts at 8:30 a.m. and the registration fee is $20 per vehicle. The ride leaves at 11 a.m. and arrives at the cenotaph at 1 p.m.

There they will hold the memorial service at 2:30 p.m. A padre will conduct the service, with a piper and a bugler present. The 3rd CAV will be laying a wreath for the fallen, as will other invited guests.

Silver Cross families who have lost their sons, killed in action in Afghanistan, will be honoured guests.

There will be a reception held at the Area Support Unit, also located on the base, with food and refreshments available, both before and after the service.

Master Cpl. Erin Doyle in Afghanistan in 2008.

This year the Honour House Society will be the recipient charity for this event. Veteran Affairs “Canada Remembers” is supporting the event, as well as numerous members of the military and many local businesses from the lower mainland.

Once again, the same as last year, they are looking forward to seeing people lining the overpasses on Highway 1 with Canadian flags as they ride by.

Cheryl Louden and her family in Aldergrove will be among those who will be waving flags at the 264 Street overpass, when the ride passes by at around noon.

Her nephew, Master Cpl. Erin Doyle, 32, was killed Aug. 11, 2008, when insurgents attacked a remote combat outpost in the Panjwaii district of Kandahar province.

A member of the 3rd battalion of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry based out of Edmonton, it was Doyle’s third tour in Afghanistan.

Doyle was remembered in his hometown of Kamloops on May 25, when a plaque bearing his name was unveiled at the Battle Street cenotaph. It is believed that Doyle is the first Afghanistan war veteran in Canada to be bestowed with such an honour.

Louden encourages lower mainland residents to show their respect by waving Canadian flags from any of the overpasses between Vancouver and Chilliwack this Saturday when the rides passes by.

The ride is open to everyone, with bikes in the lead, cars to follow.

Metro starts down P3 road for new incinerator

by Jeff Nagel METRO Vancouver’s

proposed waste-toenergy project may end up being privately financed if the regional district’s application to Ottawa for federal funding as a privatepublic partnership is approved.

The application for P3 Canada funding has split directors on the regional board, with some warning that building a new incinerator as a P3 could dramatically drive up the costs for taxpayers.

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said the situation is reminiscent of the Canada Line, where private investors borrowed the money to build the $2-billion rapid transit line at much higher interest rates than if it had been publicly financed.

She noted the region gets favourable interest rates through its membership in the Municipal Finance Authority.

“I have no problem with doing a P3 for design-build,” Jackson said. “But finance I think is not a wise choice. All that money and interest has to be paid back and the taxpayer ends up paying back a higher rate of interest.”

P3 Canada-eligible projects must give the private partner not just a design-build role but also one of either operating, maintaining or financing it.

Metro’s application proposes a designbuild-finance-operate P3, because projects with the most private sector involvement are expected to be preferred for funding.

Board vice-chair Richard Walton supported the decision, saying Metro won’t yet be bound to that model and could revise it later.

Metro staff and consultants are still determining a recommended business model for the new plant ahead of a call for proposals from potential partners.

But Walton said the region had to apply by June 15 to have a shot at a grant.

“My view is you keep all those doors open going forward,” he said.

The P3 Canada fund is to distribute more than $525 million by the end of 2013, with grants limited to 25 per cent of a project’s capital cost.

Metro’s current waste-to-energy plant in south Burnaby was

Waste-to-energy project may qualify for federal grant developed as a designbuild-operate P3, with the region financing it and retaining ownership.

Metro Vancouver still must carry out extensive studies and consultation with the Fraser Valley Regional District, where

there are concerns a new incinerator would worsen air quality in the constrained airshed.

Metro is also far

from deciding where a new waste-to-energy plant might be built and whether it uses conventional incinera-

tion or some alternative technology.

The region downsized the plan earlier this year, estimating it now

needs extra disposal capacity of 250,000 to 400,000 tonnes per year – down from 500,000 to 600,000 – in light of declining garbage volumes.

private power contracts and approval of two pricey dam refits, BC Hydro’s rate increase will be only 1.44 per cent next year, Energy Minister Rich Coleman said.

Coleman said the B.C. government is instructing the B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC) to limit rate increases to a total of 17 per cent for the threeyear period ending April 1, 2014. With rates up 7.1 per cent since April of this year and last year’s eight-per-cent hike, the 1.44 per cent increase for next year is to meet a political commitment made by Coleman and Premier Christy Clark last year to reduce planned rate increases by half.

The smallest rate increase in years is to take effect April 1, 2013, just weeks before the next provincial election.

And the latest government instruction means a BCUC public hearing on the latest rates won’t proceed.

Coleman said in an interview the directed increase was not done for election purposes, but because it was the simplest way to proceed. A “negotiated settlement” with major ratepayer groups means a BCUC hearing that could run for months isn’t necessary, he said.

NDP energy critic John Horgan said last Tuesday the government’s move is the latest in a series of political interventions into BC Hydro policy. It forced the utility to buy private power on expensive long-term contracts, it imposed the smart meter program and moved ahead on the Site C dam on the Peace River, all without review by the BCUC to see

if they are in the best interests of ratepayers, he said.

“This is a Crown corporation, the envy of North America, and these guys have run it into the ditch,” Horgan said.

Coleman launched a review of BC Hydro last year, after Clark spoke out against the prospect of a 50 per cent increase in hydro rates expected over five years.

The review by deputy ministers said reducing BC Hydro staff and in-house engineering, along with other costsaving measures, would meet the government’s target of keeping annual rate increases below

“This is a Crown corporation, the envy of North America, and these guys have run it into the ditch.”

John Horgan four per cent.

But the BCUC’s rate hearings pushed the increase for the current year up to 7.1 per cent, to increase repayment of debt that has been stacked up in recent years.

Auditor General John Doyle issued a report last year that said the government was taking annual dividends from BC Hydro that were not justified by its earnings, and the utility was increasing deferred debt as a result.

Coleman announced last week that the province was able to reach its rate goal by forgoing $75 million in dividends over three years.

GVHBA’s 19th annual Parade of Renovated Homes

Getting some renovation ideas The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association will hold its 19th annual Parade of Renovated Homes on June 10, sponsored by FortisBC. Starting at 10 a.m., the public will be able to tour eight professionally renovated homes in Burnaby, North Vancouver, Surrey and Vancouver.

“Professional RenoMark renovators, many of them award winners, will be on site to offer expert advice and discuss their craftsmanship,” says GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson.

“Project values range from $135,000 to more than $800,000, offering homeowners an abundance of ideas they can incorporate into their own

renovations.”

The renovated homes include a 1950s bungalow, a 1920s heritage home, a bathroom makeover, a basement suite conversion, a wide-ranging interior and exterior renovation and a whole-house transformation.

Admission is $10 for adults, and free for children 17 and under. A passport allowing you entrance into every home will be available at the homes.

The homes will be open until 4 p.m., and it is recommended to map out your route as the homes will not be available for showings before or after the event.

To find the list of participating homes, visit www.gvhba.org.

the elegant large-format porcelain tile flooring continues on the tub/shower surround.

A unique feature of Omega is the thicker concrete floor slab and tripleglazed windows that are an integral part of every home. The floors feature more insulation and a thicker cement platform between the floors, which combine to make for an improved building structure. The triple-glazed windows help to isolate exterior sound, so you won’t be bothered by the bustling city noise. Both of these things are demonstrated at the Concord sales centre in Richmond. Guests are invited to jump on the floor to feel

the difference between the standard concrete floors and the Omega floors, and check out the difference in sound that the triple-glazing offers, in comparison to a standard window.

If it’s convenience you’re looking for, Omega is certainly the place for you.

Located in the heart of Richmond, you are just minutes away from transit, shopping, restaurants, recreation and education. The Vancouver International Airport is about 10 minutes from home, and downtown Vancouver is less than 20 minutes away.

All remaining homes are under $399,900. For more information, visit omegaliving.ca or call 604-233-7748.

‘The ultimate low-rise development’

Finding some inspiration at Concord Pacific’s Omega

by Kerry Vital

European-inspired architecture comes to Richmond with Concord Pacific’s newest development, Omega. “(In) the Greek alphabet ‘Omega’ is often used to symbolize greatness and the ultimate,” says Concord VicePresident of Marketing Grace Man. “Omega, with its superior construction and refined design details, will raise the bar of similar medium-density projects and become the ultimate low-rise development.”

With 245 one- and two-bedroom suites in two buildings, Omega has something for everyone, though Man says the one-bedroom plus study suites are already sold out. The homes range from 546 to 1,042 square feet.

The entire development has a European feel, with a lush central courtyard, water features, stone pathways and a children’s play area.

“The Omega buildings (are) a modern interpretation of the romantic European architectural design,” says Man. “It emphasizes on a symmetrical form and (is) set in a 20,000 squarefoot lush, green garden. The lit pathways, water features and secluded courtyard seating provide a soothing and tranquil environment.”

Inside, the condominums include nine-foot ceilings in most of the living areas and a central heating and cooling system. There is an open balcony or terrace with each suite, and wide-plank laminate flooring throughout the main living area and flex space (depending on the floorplan) is complemented by your choice of two colour schemes – Impression and Reflection.

The kitchens have plenty of

thoughtful little touches, from the soft-close hardware on the doors to the waste recycling bin and sliding basket under the sink. The engineered quartz stone countertops and large-format porcelain tile backsplash combine to make for an elegant picture with the stainless-steel appliances, while the laminate cabinetry with open glass display shelving and under-cabinet lighting becomes the cherry on the top of this perfect kitchen sundae.

Those little touches continue in the bathrooms, with their engineered quartz stone countertops and a custom medicine cabinet with a mirror, shelves and built-in lighting. The recessed pot lighting is universally flattering, while

“

The Omega buildings (are) a modern interpretation of the romantic European architectural design,” says Concord Vice-President of Marketing Grace Man.

Blue Jays still chasing playoff berth North Delta wins one, loses one in Coquitlam to remain in ninth place

by Rick Kupchuk THE NORTH Delta Blue Jays remain two games out of a playoff position after they split a double-header against the Coquitlam Reds last weekend.

Playing at Coquitlam’s Mundy Park, the Jays dropped a close 2-1 decision in game one, before stopping the Reds 5-4 in the rematch.

Now at 11-16 (won-lost) and in ninth place on the season, North Delta trails the North Shore Twins (11-12), Coquitlam and the Victoria Eagles (both 13-14) in the race for the final three playoff posi-

tions in the B.C. Premier Baseball League.

Shut out for six innings in the first game, North Delta finally got on the board with a game-tying run in the top of the seventh inning. Jordy Cunningham scored on a sacrifice fly by Mitch Boychuk, knitting the game 1-1.

The Blue Jays had a couple of chances to take the lead, loading the bases with one out, only to have the next two batters retired.

Coquitlam won the game in the bottom half of the inning, when the leadoff batter doubled, then scored on a two-out single.

Luke Manuel went the distance on the pitcher’s mound for North Delta, allowing two earned runs on five hits and a pair of walks. The 17-year-old from Surrey struck out seven Coquitlam batters.

The Blue Jays jumped to an early 4-0 lead after one inning of game two, opening the scoring with a two-run double from clean-up batter Sebastien Hayes, who scored the third North Delta run on an error by the Coquitlam infield.

Bryan O’Hara crossed the plate for the fourth run, scoring on a single from Boychuk.

But the lead lasted just one inning, as

SECTION C0-ORDINATOR: RICK KUPCHUK (PHONE 604-575-5335)

the Reds scored four times on three hits and a pair of walks in the bottom of the second frame.

O’Hara drove in the winning run in the fifth inning, belting a double that scored Hays from first base.

Steven Van Vooght was the winning pitcher, throwing five shutout innings in relief, allowing just four hits and a pair of walks while collecting five strikeouts.

O’Hara and Shoma Sasaki each collected three hits for North Delta.

The Blue Jays will host the 5-20 Whalley Chiefs tonight (Thursday) at 6 p.m. at Mackie Park.

A two-time defending champion in the shot put, Covington settled for a silver medal with a distance of 11.28 metres, one metre out of first place.

The other gold medal in women’s competition came in the women’s 400m race, where Cheyanne Tunti of Kwantlen Park Secondary edged Raquel Tjernagel of New Westminster by four one-hundredths of a second.

Her winning time was 56.36 seconds.

She was also fifth in the 200m sprint, her time of 26.14 missing a medal by 0.4 seconds.

Prabjit Dosanjh of Delview Secondary won a silver medal in the discus event with a throw of 38.17 seconds, four metres away from first place.

After winning two medals a year ago, Seaquam Secondary’s Serena Graf was unfortunate not to return to the podium at this season’s meet.

Graf was fourth in four events, including the javelin, a competition she won a year ago. Her best toss of 37.14 metres was just seven centimetres away from a medal.

Distance runner Timothy Delcourt of Kwantlen Park Secondary earned a pair of silver medals.

Delcourt was just 1.07 seconds behind Christian Gravel of St. George’s high school in the men’s 1,500m race, covering the distance in 4:04.09.

He was again behind Gravel in the 3,000m race, his time of 8:48.09 just 1.77 seconds off the pace.

Also winning silver was Nathan Goodwin of Panorama Ridge in the 800 metre race, his time of 1:55.06 leaving him 2.85 seconds back of winner Matt Swanson of Sutherland.

Goodwin just missed a second medal, placing fourth in the 2,000 metre steeplechase. Dustin Johnson of Kwantlen Park was seventh in the same event.

Nick Smith of Lord Tweedsmuir was edged out of a bronze medal in the men’s high jump on a tiebreaker after he and four other athletes cleared the bar a 1.85 metres. Filip Backiel of Holy Cross was eighth at 1.80 metres.

Steven Saito scored points for Fleetwood Park, placing eighth in the pole vault with a leap of 2.90 metres.

Several female athletes posted top eight results in Burnaby.

Fourth place finishes were achieved by Jessica Tan of Fraser Heights in the pole vault and Allison Gallaugher of Lord Tweedsmuir in the long jump.

Avneet Nijjar of Queen Elizabeth placed fifth in the shot put, Maddie Freedman of Lord Tweedsmuir took seventh in the high jump and Sarah Buckingham of Lord Tweedsmuir was eighth in the triple jump.

Schaefer to coach Eagles Former Canuck will work as an assistant Black Press FORMER NHLER and

Vancouver Canucks forward Peter Schaefer has joined the Surrey Eagles of the B.C. hockey League as an assistant coach.

Schaefer recorded 99 goals and 252 points in nine NHL seasons, which included two stints with the Vancouver Canucks.

A native of Yellow Grass, Sask., Schaefer began his NHL career in Vancouver. The Canucks drafted him with the 66th overall pick in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft after he recorded 124 goals and 172 assists in three seasons with the WHL’s Brandon Wheat Kings.

Schaefer’s Wheat Kings’ squad won the WHL championship in 1996, and he won a WHL MVP award in 1997.

Schaefer joined the Canucks as a rookie in 1999, and played three seasons in Vancouver.

He was traded to the Ottawa Senators before the 2002-03 season for current Canucks defenceman Sami Salo, and was then traded to the Boston Bruins in July, 2007.

Schaefer ended his career with the Canucks, playing 16 games at the start of the 2010-11 season before being placed on waivers.

Schaefer. “I hope to use my experience to help the players

continue to improve and reach their full potential both on and off the ice.”

The Eagles said that Schaefer will also work with the team in a player development role.

“I am excited about the addition of Peter to the coaching staff,” said Eagles head coach Matt Erhart.

“He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the program and will be very beneficial in assisting the players in helping them reach their hockey goals.”

Griffins ‘unlucky’

Myranda Willis (right) of the Burnsview Griffins and Lauren Kruger of the Sands Scorpions battle for the ball during the Fraser Valley Senior AA girls high school soccer championships.

Burnsview placed fifth at the provincial tournament in Kamloops, while Sands was 10th.

first game ended their championship run.

“We were just a little unlucky this time around,” said Burnsview coach Mary Ferguson.

“We were going for the three-peat. You can imagine we are a little heart broken to come home without at least being in the final.”

Only the first place teams from each of the four four-team groups advance to the semifinal round of the playoffs.

The Griffins had the best goal-difference in their group after the round robin, but their 2-1-0 (won-lost-tied) record left them a point behind the 2-0-1 Huskies.

“The game against Okanagan Mission was going great until the second half,” said Ferguson. “We were leading 1-0 at half time and at that point, Okanagan Mission had no shots on our net. We were in total control of the game and playing well.”

Then there was a breakdown. The Huskies managed to get a player in behind the Burnsview defence, a play the Griffins claimed was offside.

Goalie Nicole Kokolski stopped the shot, but was knocked into the net by the Okanagan forward, resulting in a game-tying goal.

“Our defenders were upset by the two non calls, and consequently, our own game broke down,” said Ferguson.

“Okanagan Mission scored off of a corner kick to win with 10 minutes left in the game.

These were the only two

opportunities they had at our net.”

The Griffins defeated the Crofton House Cougars of Vancouver and Shawnigan Lake Secondary to place second in the round robin.

Playoff wins were against the Parkland Panthers of Sidney and Richmond’s McNair Marlins. All four wins were by 2-0 scores, with Grade 9 midfielder Myranda Willis scoring four goals, and Danyka Wadley, Katrina Guenther, Robyn Abe and Michelle Knowlan netting one each.

Kokolski was also in goal for the four shut out wins.

Ferguson praised the play of “a really strong back line of Jessica Turner, Olivia Kappeli, Rachel Pechingpaugh, and Danyka Wadley.”

Julie DeVriendt, Kappeli, Elexis Scholssarek, and Knowlan earned Game MVP (Most Valuable Player) honours, and Turner was presented with a Commissioner’s 11 award.

The Sands Scorpions placed 10th at the 16-team tournament, going 1-2-0 and placing third in the round robin, then defeating the SaHali Sabres of Kamloops 1-0 before losing 3-2 to Shawnigan Lake.

The Surrey Christian Falcons were also at the tournament, placing 15th after a 2-1 win over Vernon’s Kalamalka Lakers in their final game. A 1-0-2 round robin record left them tied for second in the round robin, but were placed fourth on the tiebreaker.

Black Press TWO PLAYERS from Delta have agreed to join the

Simon Fraser University (SFU) women’s soccer team in the fall.

Goalkeeper Amanda Gilliland of Delta and midfielder Julie DeVriendt will suit up for the SFU Clan for the 2012 season.

“I’m expecting Amanda to come in and compete for some quality minutes this fall,” said SFU head coach Shelley Howieson. “She has the ability to have a positive impact on games and has a good presence on the field. I’m excited to have a keeper with her experience join our program.”

DeVriendt, in addition to playing high school soccer at Burnsview Secondary (see story above), completed her under-18 season with Surrey United showing an ability to be a strong tackler capable of playing both defensive and offensive roles on the field.

“Julie brings great energy to the field and is a tenacious tackler. She has a tremendous work rate and always wins balls that most players give up on,” said Howieson. “She will create many offensive opportunities and will shut down the opponents advances this fall.”

SPORTS BRIEFS

Gutierrez goes for the Triple Crown

Former Surreyturned-Southern California jockey Mario Gutierrez and horse I’ll Have Another are one race away from history.

And they’ll look to add their names to the record books Saturday, at the Belmont Stakes in Elmont, NY.

Thursday, June 7, 2012 Surrey/North Delta Leader 39 Other standouts included Kaitlyn Patterson at third base, Alex Berezan at first base, Ashlee Thacker and Breanna Handley in the outfield, and Cameren Ballam at the plate. Thacker won the tournament’s Spirit award for her inspirational play.

One of the most popular mountain bike races in the Lower Mainland returns to the Semiahmoo Peninsula this weekend, when the Junkyard Dog XC hits

Mario Gutierrez

Gutierrez, a Mexico native who spent six years on the Semiahmoo Peninsula while he raced at Hastings Park under horse-owner Glen Todd, has already won the first two legs of thoroughbred racing’s prestigious Triple Crown, beating pre-race favourite Bodemeister in both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes last month. In both races, Gutierrez and I’ll Have Another made a late-race charge to overtake the leader.

No horse has won the Triple Crown since Affirmed in 1978, and only 11 have won since 1919.

Saturday’s Belmont Stakes, which is the longest race of the three Triple-Crown races at 1½ miles, begins at 3:35 p.m.

A silver for the Thunder

Playing five playoff games Sunday, the South Surrey/White Rock Thunder won the silver medal at a Pee Wee B girls softball tournament in Nanaimo last weekend.

South Surrey/White Rock led 6-5 after five innings in the championship game against Langford, but couldn’t hang on and settled for second.

The Thunder received a strong effort from its pitching staff of Rebekah Taylor, Rachel Cherniwchan, Natasha Houston and Sam Nikl, as well as catcher Sophie Harvey.

been scrapped due to the labour dispute between the provincial government and the province’s teachers.

Though this championships event is not directly affiliated with the high school mountain bike commission, it will offer the same divisions and be run under

the track at South Surrey Bike Park.

The race, which is part of the BC Cup, is set to begin 11 a.m. Sunday morning, with BC High School Mountain Biking Championships preceding the main event at 9:30 a.m. The high school championships had originally

a similar format.

The weather may not do racers any favours Sunday – the forecast calls for rain – but that has not hampered the event in the past, as riders in both amateur and pro divisions are expected in droves; past Junkyard XC races have drawn more than 100

riders.

The South Surrey course is a challenging one, full of tough single-track, a rock dive, drop-offs, ladder bridges, logs, roots and a downhill pump track.

Surrey/North Delta Leader

This is the second year Surrey’s Clara Shandler has offered free cello concerts – which include everything from Bach to Nirvana – each Saturday from her sidewalk ‘stage’ in Vancouver.

Her goal is to make classical music accessible to everyone.

PHOTO BY JONATHAN DY

‘It’s not all nice, tea party music’ Clara Shandler, otherwise known as The Sidewalk Cellist, rips classical music out of the concert halls and takes it to the streets

by Sheila Reynolds

H

er grandfather played cello, so when he passed away, it wasn’t entirely surprising that Clara Shandler’s dad – already an accomplished violin and piano player – took up the larger bowed stringed instrument.

It was about then that toddler Clara’s ears perked up and her little hands got busy.

She started making cellos out of Tinkertoys. And when her parents had dinner parties or get togethers, she’d stage impromptu performances on her makeshift instruments.

“It was terrible,” she laughs.

Finally, at age three, she got a real cello, a 16th-sized one just slightly bigger than a viola.

That was nearly 20 years – and numerous cellos – ago.

Now Shandler, a Fraser Heights Secondary grad who this spring finished her bachelor of music degree at UBC, hopes to bring her music to the masses.

But it’s not just in stuffy concert halls and auditoriums. She’s taking her sound to the streets.

For the second year, the 22-year-old self-proclaimed Sidewalk Cellist is setting up each Saturday beside a park in Vancouver and performing for anyone who wants to listen “One of my really big values is making sure that music is accesClara Shandler sible, ” she says. “When I was studying musicology, one of the things that I was really looking at... was how do we get classical music into public spaces so that everyone can experience the genre live?

Because so much of classical music is the beauty of the live performance.”

She had busked before. In fact, when she was 15 and working for pocket change at a library, she quickly discovered that she could make more money by hauling her cello downtown and putting out her case.

This time, however, she wanted to test a new concept and simply set up an outside show without asking for money. Last summer, she chose a

“People are getting to realize that classical music doesn’t just mean Beethoven.”

regular spot and a consistent day and time for her sidewalk performances.

“I wanted to give people the opportunity to experience classical music on a regular basis for no charge, in a nice, accessible outdoor space where nobody has to feel like they have to dress up.”

At the beginning, folks would trickle by, some stopping to listen to a song or two. But toward the end of the summer, she was drawing regular audiences of 50 or 60 people.

“It was so positive.”

One teenage boy, she recalls, came a half-dozen times, and has been back to listen again this year since she returned to her location in May. Shandler plays music by Vivaldi, Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Debussy and other classical composers. She has also asked her music colleagues to compose pieces that she performs at her outdoor shows.

However, making her music accessible has also meant choosing a variety of styles that appeal to a wide range of listeners.

“I try to play as many different genres as I can.”

To mix things up, she finishes each show with a few more original compositions, she says, which include everything from heavy metal to gypsy sounds, as well as a couple of Nirvana cover tunes and “Thunderstruck”

by AC/DC. “It’s really cool to see that my project is kind of working,” says the young musician. “People are getting to realize that classical music doesn’t just mean Beethoven. Classical music can mean this crazy, weird, loud, obnoxious, really rhythmically percussive, dissonant music. It’s not all nice, tea party music.”

Her sidewalk shows take place every Saturday from 2-4 p.m. through the end of June at Grandview Park on Commercial Drive.

After that, Shandler is embarking on a 60-day Greyhound bus tour in July and August that will take her across Canada as far east as Montreal, down to New York, New Orleans, Nashville, San Francisco (and everywhere in between) and back up the coast home. She plans 30 concerts over the 60 days.

Thirty-four pieces of artwork, including paintings, drawings, collage and photos, were chosen by jurors from 159 works entered. They are on display through the month of June.

Two Surrey-North Delta Leader staff members, graphic artist Catherine Sheppard and photographer/reporter Boaz Joseph, had work chosen for the exhibit and are both up for awards in their respective categories.
