The return to routine School starts Tuesday – with a short stint

by Sheila Reynolds THERE’S STILL the long weekend to pretend it’s not

happening. But come Tuesday, like it or not, reality will strike.

As kids and teens tromp back to class, it will be difficult to ignore the fact summer vacation has indeed ended.

For most, it will be a short school day – some consolation for those who may have become accustomed to snoozing til noon.

In Surrey, students in Grades 1 to 7 will start at 10

a.m., with classes ending early (dismissal times will vary, so it’s best to confirm with your school).

Kindergarten start dates and times will also differ between schools and should be confirmed.

For Surrey high school and learning centre students, different grades start at various times, but again, dismissal will be earlier than usual on Sept. 3 as new classes are organized.

Elementary schools will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. until Friday (Aug. 30) for registration and information, while secondary schools will be staffed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Raises for school workers would cost Surrey $5 million

Grooving in Guildford

Dancers perform in front of hundreds of onlookers as part of the grand opening celebration at Guildford Town Centre on Wednesday.

The shopping centre has finished a $280-million, 213,500-squrefoot expansion, which includes more than 70 stores, a new 1,034-seat food court, and several ‘green’ features, such as living walls made up of plants. The mall is located at 10355 152 St.

Victoria tells districts to pick up tab for wage increases

by Sheila Reynolds THE PROVINCIAL government has once again told cash-strapped school districts that they’ll have to find the money to cover any raises that might be negotiated with school support staff.

School workers such as custodians, secretaries, education assistants and maintenance workers, represented by CUPE (Canadian Union of Public Employees), have been without a pay increase for four years and are seeking a two-per-cent increase for the next two years.

For Surrey, the largest school district in B.C. with about 3,840 CUPE members, that equates to approximately $5 million annually.

Surrey Board of Education Chair Shawn Wilson confirmed Wednesday that staff has been asked to come up with recommendations to cover the additional recurring cost.

While he was hoping the province would fund pay increases, it’s become clear that’s simply not going to happen.

“We don’t really like it, but we’re not setting our hair on fire,” said Wilson.

“Our position has always been that governShawn Wilson ment is the boss, they run the ministry and we’re their servants and if they say find savings… what choice do you have?”

He said while it’s inevitable redirecting funds will have some impact on students, it’s hoped savings can be found in areas as far away from the classroom as possible.

Wilson said during a meeting with the education minster last week, he suggested the province provide more specific guidelines to districts as they look for places to cut back.

“I don’t think there’s any question that CUPE deserves a raise,” said Wilson. “Relative to other public sectors, there really should be some recognition of that. They’ve gone so many years with net zero.”

Talks are scheduled to resume next week between the province and CUPE school workers.

While last week it appeared a strike was in the cards, bargaining is set to resume Wednesday (Sept.

4), the day after classes start for the 2013/14 school year.

By the numbers SURREY IS expecting about

70,000 students in its public schools this year – not many more than last year.

The district anticipates a slight bump in enrolment of just 32 pupils. While there is growth at the elementary school level, it’s offset by declines in the high school grades.

Five construction projects worth nearly $59 million will be finished during the upcoming school year, although the new Sunnyside Elementary is the only one that will be ready by

next week (see story, page 8).

Two other elementary schools – Goldstone Park in south Newton and Katzie in east Clayton neighbourhood – are slated to open in early 2014.

A pair of high school additions at Fraser Heights (200 student spaces) and Panorama Ridge (300 spaces) are expected to be ready by spring 2014.

Enrolment in Delta is anticipated to decline again this year. While there were 15,346 last year, about 15,129 students are expected this year. sreynolds@surreyleader.com

Send drivers the right message: Don’t text Sales tax I REALLY ENJOYED reading letter writer Lloyd Atkins’ message about distracted drivers (“Gambling with distractions,” The Leader, Aug. 22).

I walk every day for two hours and if I had a pen and paper to write down all the licence plates of people who are using their cellphones, I would have two large sheets filled.

It is sad to see.

I just have to shake my head and wonder

what are we going to hear on the news tomorrow about someone using their cellphone.

My neighbours, family and friends all talk and we wonder who gets to make the final decision on how to charge these drivers?

It isn’t strict enough.

Maybe a night in jail might get people to think, but then our jails would be too full.

How about charging them so they have a

criminal record and then maybe they might think, “oh, I can’t cross the border or go on a nice vacation anywhere because of my record.”

Take the cars and trucks and cellphones away for two weeks.

Fine them $2,000 and put that money towards our taxes.

Thanks for your letter, Mr. Atkins.

Keep North Delta small, livable RE: “NORTH DELTA: None of the

above,” Letters, The Leader, Aug. 27).

I filled out the North Delta Area Plan survey and checked “needs improvement” for most of the questions.

I also wrote comments to propose positive alternatives to highrises, townhouses, mega-houses and basement suites.

Replacing aging North Delta houses on large lots with smaller houses on smaller lots is one idea many people like.

Check out a two-minute video my husband and I developed showing how that could be done: https://vimeo.com/69449958 As “young seniors” who have lived in Delta for decades, we want to downsize, stay in our own neighbourhood, avoid strata fees, live in an accessible cottage on the ground, and sell part of our large lot to our adult children or to other first-time buyers.

I support one of the recommendations of the 2010 Delta Housing Task Force Report, which says: “As the population gets older, there will be an increased demand for smaller homes that are multifamily and ground oriented. In most cases, those homes will be strata titled and will be bound by strata policies and a strata council.

Monthly strata fees can be very expensive especially for residents who are living on a fixed income...

FILE PHOTO / THE LEADER

Smaller house proponent Kathleen Higgins is promoting positive alternatives to new highrises, townhouses, mega-houses, and basement suites in North Delta.

Further research...will be required, in addition to understanding how Delta’s bylaws can be structured to encourage different types of housing.”

North Delta needs the housing option of smaller houses (with no

strata fees) on smaller lots. For every North Delta resident who did not fill out a survey, please express your views on this important issue by emailing the North Delta Area Plan Review Committee at northdelta@delta.ca

Pity the bus stops I WOULD LIKE TO BRING ATTENTION to the route of the 96 B-line. This is

good news for transit users that finally a B-line is here in Surrey.

The original route was to run from King George SkyTrain station to White Rock. But this route is shorter and was altered without any consultation or feedback.

Still, it is okay. My particular points are the bus stops on King George Boulevard. From Newton Exchange, the first stop is 76 Avenue. The next stop is 88 Avenue.

This is not fair. From 76 to 88 Avenues, on both sides of the King George, there are houses and residential areas and there is no bus stop.

I would like to request the transit authority reconsider its decision and add at least one more stop at 80 Avenue. This area is congested with residential houses on both sides.

At 104 Avenue, bus stops are every four blocks. At King George, every eight blocks.

But from 76 to 88 Avenues there are 12 blocks and no bus stop.

Please consider adding a stop at 80 Avenue. I hope TransLink authorities will solve this problem and give access to more riders.

Fishery has no impact on stocks THE RECENT SALMON fishing

closure on the Fraser River below Mission is totally unwarranted as this fishery has zero impact on threatened sockeye stocks.

The recreational fishing community appreciates the concern for summer sockeye and accepts the closure above Mission with the proviso that all user groups comply.

Closing the river below Mission is not required and impacts the angling opportunities of seniors and families with children enjoying the remaining days of summer.

It should be noted that within DFO staff, there is not unanimous agreement that this closure is necessary.

Millions of pink salmon are currently entering the river, providing a wonderful opportunity for all to enjoy this resource.

The current closure denies access to these fish, which can be harvested with no impact on other species.

This closure should be rescinded immediately.

won’t resolve transit ills THE NOTION THAT a $0.5-per-cent

sales tax increase will solve TransLink’s financial ills is naive in the extreme; spending more money on unsustainable transit projects will only exacerbate TransLink’s money woes.

TransLink faces many problems, including that upper management are career bureaucrats without any knowledge about public transit, and decisions are made that are financially ill-advised, such as a $4-billion SkyTrain subway under Broadway in Vancouver.

TransLink did have a bona fide transit expert CEO, Tom Prendergast, but he lasted barely a year and left, in part blaming the proSkyTrain culture at TransLink for his departure.

The driverless SkyTrain was first thought to bring cheaper transit to the region.

Instead it now burdens the taxpayer with a 40- to 60-percent operating penalty over much cheaper LRT, but TransLink blunders on planning more metro and even when forced to plan for LRT, as in Surrey, it designs LRT as a poor man’s SkyTrain, both hugely expansive and unworkable.

Despite over $9 billion invested in SkyTrain, there is no evidence that it has reduced congestion or gridlock, and new studies are showing that TransLink’s current SkyTrain planning is actually increasing congestion and pollution.

TransLink doesn’t need any more financing; rather, TransLink’s management must be forced to plan for affordable transit by using much cheaper but more efficient light rail instead of the expensive and obsolete SkyTrain.

TransLink must plan for transit that the customer wants and will use.

The terms user-friendly and affordable are just not in the current TransLink’s management’s lexicon, where it’s believed the taxpayer has deep pockets to fund costly and ill-advised decisions.

Heritage Volunteers Have Heart!

“I enjoy the social interaction with the public and other volunteers and staff. I love to teach visitors and students about the Stewart farmhouse and family and their place in our history.”

Lori,

Historic Stewart Farm volunteer

The Surrey Museum and Historic Stewart Farm are looking for volunteers to lead school programs. Flexible commitment, full training provided.

Surrey’s newest school doesn’t hesitate when asked what he likes best about the all-but-finished Sunnyside Elementary replacement.

“I just can’t get past that gym,” Brad Helland beamed during a tour of the 5,000-square-metre school, at 2828 159 St., built to accommodate 450 students.

“When I walked in and saw that gym, I just about drooled.”

The gymnasium with a high ceiling and maple flooring is among several notable attributes of the school, which site superintendent Alan McNee, of Bouygues Building Canada, described as a

for the okay from the province.

The new school was given the final go-ahead in January 2012, and crews started on the site in mid-June of 2012.

Since then, the project has been proceeding on a “very, very, very tight timeline,” said

“You’ll never see another one of these,” said McNee, citing a design customized to fit within a narrow, sloped lot.

And while it’s been just over a year in the making – work on the $12.8-million school began only last summer – getting to that crucial starting point took far longer.

Replacing the former Sunnyside Elementary, at 15250 28 Ave., received a green light from the provincial government in the 2005-2006 school year.

But construction was delayed when the district was told to build the school as a Neighbourhood Learning Centre, and again, when the district was waiting

McNee, noting his own daughter will be among the more than 300 students who will be welcomed through the school’s doors when it opens on Sept. 3.

While it will be ready for occupancy, some minor details will still be being worked on.

“It’s ready,” Surrey School District spokesman Doug Strachan said.

“There’s still going to be finish work being done. There’ll be some inconveniences and some things still getting into place, but that’ll be over quite quickly.”

In addition to the gymnasium, Helland highlighted the extensive use of natural lighting – for example, the entire west wall of the library is windows – and wood throughout the school.

Other attributes include the ability to control the temperature of individual classrooms; open-concept washrooms (the boys and girls will share sink space); exterior doors to all of the primary classrooms; and plenty of outdoor gathering spaces, including an area that could easily be used as an amphitheatre for band concerts.

Helland said Sunnyside is the first school he has opened as a principal, a role he has held in Surrey for the past two-and-a-half years. Being at the helm during such a project is “an honour,” he said.

He acknowledged there will be “growing pains” as students and staff “make the building ours.”

Helland noted the most important finishing touches for the school arrive Sept. 3.

“A school’s not a school till the kids are here.”

Delta to look at bus funding issue School district already cut back most routes last spring Black Press THE MUNICIPALITY will be brain-

storming possible solutions to the school district’s bus funding shortfall, although Coun. Bruce McDonald warned that doesn’t mean the problem will necessarily be fixed.

In April, the Delta School District eliminated all walk-limit and safety bus routes – maintaining buses only for students with special needs – when faced with a shortfall of $728,000.

Trustees blamed the provincial government for slashing its transportation budget, forcing them to

make cuts worth $380,000 in each of the next two school years.

Coun. McDonald said the Delta Council/Delta Board of Education liaison committee, of which he is a member, will be discussing potential alternatives for students.

“We will look at what possibilities there are, but I think people shouldn’t misunderstand that comment that this will be fixed, because we don’t have a solution at present and we don’t know exactly what possibilities do exist in partnership with the community and the school board and with council or whatever.”

The busing issue came up at the by the municipality for more than meeting when council was asked to a decade. look at increasing the Although he municipality’s grant to wasn’t on council the school district for at the time, Hamilits adult school crosston recalled, “The ing guards by $8,000 debate around the (up to $93,420 from table really centered $85,421), which would around the safety allow for an additional of the children who crossing guard each were attending Delta at Holly Elementary schools, and that’s in Ladner and Gray why Delta then Scott Hamilton stepped up to fund Elementary in North Delta. this program.

“We willingly take them (provincial issues) on because people come to us and talk to us about the safety of our kids and the safety of our community – and we rightly are there protecting them, that safety, and protecting our citizens.

“However, the provincial government will see this as an easy dumping ground for programs that they can offload and see that the local government will pick up the slack,” Campbell said.

and Frieda Hepworth will celebrate their diamond wedding anniversary.

The two were married in the small town of Elma, Wash., south of Seattle, 60 years ago.

Frieda was a Sunday school kid and Roy was the son of a local dairy farmer and town preacher. According to Roy, she was 21 and he was 18 and threequarters.

“That’s why he married me, to get away from the cows,” quipped Frieda on Wednesday inside Newton’s Carillon Music store, which the pair opened in 1970.

Roy recalls being drawn to Frieda’s solid “get things done” work ethic. She was fond of his sense of humour.

The two moved to Canada in 1958 when Roy took a job as a helicopter pilot.

“People keep telling Frieda what a wonderful

Frieda agrees.

“I am the lucky one.

He tells me he loves me many times a day, he’s got a sense of humour, what else can you ask for?”

They have two chil-

And they still work at Carillon six days a week.

Surrey cemetery vase thefts despicable: RCMP Patrols increased as bronze containers being stolen

by Tracy Holmes POLICE IN Surrey are being

advised to step up patrols around local cemeteries, following a report bronze flower vases are being stolen from grave sites.

Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said Monday police are investigating the theft of 28 of the vases from Victory Memorial Garden, located at 14831 28 Ave. The police report notes 17 were taken overnight Wednesday, Aug. 21, and another 11 were taken over the course of the two weeks prior.

A woman whose husband’s grave was among those targeted said she was told more were taken on Friday, bringing the

RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet total closer to 50.

The woman, who did not want to be identified, described the theft as “so sacrilegious… a very horrible, painful thing.”

Paquet agreed, stating the act “definitely crosses a moral line.”

“It’s just despicable behaviour,” he said. “I understand some criminals are desperate, but this is definitely an area we don’t like seeing crimes or theft happen.”

Any value in selling the vases for scrap “doesn’t exceed the sentimental value,” he added.

Paquet said police have no suspects, and have not fielded any reports of suspicious activity or individuals in the area. Officers investigating are also looking into whether other cemeteries have been targeted.

Anyone with information on the Victory Memorial thefts is asked to call police at 604-5990502.

Scooters: ‘Regulation’ is needed

From page 12 The B.C. Coalition of People with Disabilities opposes the idea.

“These are mobility devices that people need to get out into the community,” said executive director Jane Dyson. “Such a regulation would impede their independence.”

Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg he doesn’t sense it’s a major problem but added “some authority” is probably needed, preferably through provincial law that lets individual cities regulate the machines if they deem it necessary.

“People are generally pretty well-behaved,” he said. “Public policy generally should not be developed for exceptions,” he said.

White Rock deputy mayor Grant Meyer questioned the impact enforcing scooter regulations would have on the city’s already busy bylaw staff.

But White Rock Coun. Larry Robinson said he’s all for it.

“There has to be some type of regulation, including you to be approved or prescribed to use them,” he said.

Robinson said he has seen people operating electric wheelchairs holding up traffic.

And he said he knows people who don’t have a medical need for the machines but just like to use them to get around.

“I don’t think you should be able to walk into a store and walk out with an electric scooter and just drive it wherever you want. There has to be some qualification for the use.”

Another potentially controversial resolution coming before UBCM is a call for the province to allow the use of photo radar to ticket speeders in school and playground zones.

The proposal from Penticton council argues that police-staffed speed traps and volunteerrun speed reader boards are labour-intensive and have had limited success in reducing speeding.

Revenue from fines would be shared on a negotiated basis with local municipalities, Penticton suggests.

The UBCM executive hasn’t taken a position on the idea but the province has always firmly said it has no intention of reintroducing photo radar, which was eliminated in 2001. jnagel@blackpress.ca

by Tracy Holmes NEW information regarding a South Surrey man

who was reported missing last spring has not solved the mystery.

But police say they hope a recent tip indicating Vaclav (Walter) Simek was dropped off near 200 Street and 40 Avenue on March 7 will trigger the memory of someone who could help locate him.

“It’s not a significant change to the investigation… (but it is) information we feel we should share in case other people Vaclav (Walter) Simek or witnesses might have seen him in that area,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said Friday.

Simek was reported missing in April. At that time, police understood the 52-year-old was last seen in late February.

A week after first requesting the public’s assistance, police released a photograph of Simek’s springer spaniel, Tucker.

The dog is always at Simek’s side, police said at the time.

Prior to being dropped off March 7, Simek rented a car to move items from his home in the 16300-block of 8 Avenue to an unknown residence. Since the return of the car, Simek has not accessed his bank accounts or used his cellphone.

Tucker Paquet said there remains no evidence of foul play and no sign he has left the country.

“Until we find evidence to the contrary, (we’re) hoping to find him well,” he said.

Simek is described as an avid outdoorsman, and it is thought he may be hiking or camping.

Simek is described as a 6’3”, 210-lb. Caucasian man, with brown hair and blue eyes.

Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-5990502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, quoting file number 2013-43817.

Woman recovering from otter attack Cloverdale’s Theresa Weltzin attacked in lake near 100 Mile House

by Carole Rooney

told Black Press. “I looked around and about 20 metres behind me is this animal coming for me directly.”

“I’m pedalling backward and doing egg-beaters with my legs and it’s biting me over and over again, and I’m screaming at the top of my lungs for my brother-in-law to help. It was pretty frightening.”

She saw another otter at this time, but because the lake’s water is murky, she doesn’t know if it joined in the attack.

Her husband’s brother, Brian Weltzin, heard Theresa’s cries and headed out in a kayak, with his son following in a rowboat, reaching her about five minutes later.

CLOVERDALE’S Theresa Weltzin was

Theresa Weltzin was bitten at least 11 times.

injured when she was attacked by otters in a lake near 100 Mile House in a rare incident of human-aquatic life conflict.

Weltzin was visiting in-laws at their cabin when she went for a swim to cool off shortly before noon on Aug. 1, in what she thought were the safe waters of Greeny Lake.

Part way across the lake, she was attacked and bitten nine times by at least one otter, and possibly two.

“As I was about three-quarters of the way across, about (80 metres from the far shore), I heard a splash,” she

“As soon as they came, I grabbed onto the kayak and the biting stopped.

But [Brian] said he had the paddle ready to hit the otter.”

The animal then swam away toward the east end of the lake, and Theresa was pulled back to shore by hanging on to the kayak, and taken to the emergency room at 100 Mile District General Hospital for treatment of her numerous wounds.

Weltzin was put on three combinations of antibiotics to prevent infection rather than have her wounds stitched up.

She was directed to Surrey Memorial Hospital for a potential rabies shot, where the B.C. Centre for Disease

Control, biologists, and others were consulted and determined that rabies infection was “so unlikely” she didn’t need the vaccine.

Weltzin counted nine bites. The biggest gouge was on her left calf and measured about 1 cm across by twoand-a-half centimetres long.

There was another cut on her left thigh, one on her right leg, plus another six bites.

When her left finger was bitten as she tried to fend off the otter, she checked to make sure she hadn’t lost part of it, said Weltzin.

Conservation Officer Len Butler said otter attacks are rare, but some bites have been reported on Vancouver Island.

Jackson slams TransLink transfer change Delta mayor irked that cash-paying bus riders may have to shell out again to get on a SkyTrain

by Adrian MacNair DELTA’S MAYOR showed

her frustration with TransLink Monday evening over their recent decision to invalidate transfers from buses when connecting with SkyTrain terminals.

Her comments were made following a letter submitted by North Delta resident James Kerr who said customers who pay a cash fare on a bus will have to pay a second fare to continue on the SkyTrain stations at Scott Road or Bridgeport. “Obviously, TransLink prefers that we all have pre-paid cards as it will put revenue in their hands before providing any service,� wrote Kerr. “It is not easier for the occasional rider, lowincome people, visitors and anyone who doesn’t want to have to go buy a pre-loaded card.�

ately, our collective focus on motorized vehicles sharing the roads with bicycles has eclipsed the road-sharing challenges also presented by the many other types of ‘lowpowered’ vehicles.

When it comes to mobility, human ingenuity, it seems, knows no bounds! The ICBC website lists six types of “low-powered vehicles� and the operating rules that apply to each. Three types—pocket bikes or mini motorcycles, “Segway� human transporters, and motorized scooters and skateboards cannot be legally used on roads in BC, except for very restricted uses. Mopeds and scooters are considered limited-speed motorcycles and as such must be registered and insured and drivers must be licensed and helmeted. An electric bike, or motor-assisted cycle, is a twoor three-wheeled cycle with a seat, pedals and an up to 500-watt electric — not gas-powered — motor. Operators must be at least 16 years old, must ride helmeted, and must comply with all bicycle safety rules and have the same rights and obligations as drivers of all other motor vehicles. Registration, insurance, and licensing are not required.

Also categorized as ‘low-powered vehicles’ are motorized wheelchairs, also called motorized scooters. Designed to help people with physical disabilities function like pedestrians, these vehicles need not be registered or insured, and operators do not need to be licensed. They can be driven on sidewalks and on the roads following the rules that apply to pedestrian use of roadways

102nd Ave

148th St

144th St

104th Ave

City Pky

without sidewalks, i.e., on the farthest left side of the road or shoulder of the highway facing oncoming traffic. An ICBC brochure dedicated to motorized wheelchairs further details the rules governing their use as follows: Obey all traffic signals.

Obey school crossing guards and school traffic patrols.

Cross only at intersections or ‘pedestrian’ crosswalks.

Cross only if traffic can safely stop for you.

A recent collision in West Vancouver between a car and a motorized wheelchair illustrates the vulnerability of the lower powered vehicle. In mid-afternoon on August 21st, a clear sunny day when visibility was not an issue, a 91-year-old man driving a motorized wheelchair in the Bellevue Avenue crosswalk at 21st Street was hit by a PT Cruiser driven by an 87-year-old woman. Const. Jeff Palmer of the West Vancouver police described the 91-year-old victim as being in serious but stable condition with “a fractured ankle, a fractured leg, a fractured pelvis, some fractured ribs and quite extensive lacerations.�

Coincidentally, the next day the Times Colonist newspaper reported on the endorsement by the Union of BC Municipalities of a resolution by Sydney’s town council asking the provincial government for new regulations, training and testing for people using motorized wheelchairs, whether for health or age-related reasons, in response to numerous complaints about people driving too fast on the sidewalk or not knowing the rules of the road. Without regulation, the resolution states, “the safety of all motorists, businesses and pedestrians [is] at risk.� The newspaper noted, “The B.C. Coroners Service called for similar changes in 2008, after the deaths of several seniors who were riding mobility scooters on Vancouver Island.�

Election reform pledged

by Jeff Nagel

one month, to run in the third week of October starting in 2017.

Oakes said the changes will improve transparency and accountability, calling them the most significant modernization of local election legislation in nearly two decades.

The changes will apply to elections for municipalities, regional districts, park boards, the Islands Trust and boards of education.

Union of B.C. Municipalities president Mary Sjostrom said she’s pleased with the commitment and said the government’s phased approach should ensure the changes work well for the full range of B.C. communities.

Some changes coming in 2014, but municipal spending limits held back until 2017

A BAN ON anonymous contributions in municipal elections is among the reforms the provincial government is pledging to have in place the next time local voters go to the polls to elect councils in November of 2014.

Details on the changes are to be spelled out in a white paper next month.

But Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Coralee Oakes said additional changes will also require disclosure and registration of third-party advertisers in local government elections.

Sponsorship information will

also be mandatory on all election advertising, and campaign finance disclosures will have to be filed within 90 days, instead of 120 days.

Limits on campaign spending for candidates, organizations and third-party advertisers are also coming, but they will be held back for implementation for the 2017 elections in order to allow more time for consultations.

The province is also expected to push municipal campaigns up

Liquor stores may sell cold beer and wine Latest policy reform rankles private store owners

by Jeff Nagel

ANOTHER liquor policy reform being eyed by the province would allow more government liquor stores to sell cold beer and wine, which has long been the domain of private stores.

Ten government stores already sell some refrigerated products but the province will now test the waters for a major expansion.

Walk-in beer and wine “cold rooms” will open at the end of September at three stores in Burnaby, Duncan and Salmon Arm. That’s the first stage of a pilot project that will add four more walk-in beer and wine refrigeration coolers at existing stores in Oliver, Osoyoos, Mill Bay and Grand Forks later in the fall.

The province wants feedback on the idea as part of its alreadylaunched Liquor Policy Review, along with several other proposals for reform.

The concept may be in for a rough ride from the organization representing private liquor stores.

The Alliance of Beverage Licensees of B.C. called the move a surprise and said it would throw private outlets and government

stores into more direct competition.

John Yap, the parliamentary secretary for the liquor policy review, said all other Canadian provinces offer refrigeration in most, if not all, of their government liquor stores.

B.C.’s Powerex to pay Californians $750M Hydro deal to settle claims dodges bigger penalty

Learning Centres are Small Secondary Schools that:

by Jeff Nagel

• provide an alternative educational environment • encourage students to set and meet educational goals • assist students (Gr. 10-12) towards graduation (Dogwood Certificate) • offer a continuous entry program with morning, afternoon and/or evening classes • provide career assistance to help students obtain work, training or entry into post secondary institutions

export arm has agreed to pay Californians $750 million to settle accusations it overcharged during the state’s energy crisis of 2000-01 and avoid the risk of a much higher court-ordered penalty.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett said Friday the settlement by Powerex won’t drive up electricity rates in B.C., although part of the payment will be recouped from a five-per cent-rate rider that already applies to Hydro customers.

“This was an extremely difficult decision to come to but a very necessary decision to protect British Columbia taxpayers from an unpredictable result in the U.S. court

system,” Bennett said.

He maintains BC Hydro did nothing wrong in the years when other power sellers did manipulate energy prices to California amid rolling blackouts, triggering lawsuits for refunds from dozens of sellers, including Powerex.

But he says fighting on could have been much more expensive, because U.S. regulators already partly ruled against the targeted utilities in a blanket judgment.

Powerex faced a possible $3.2-billion penalty if it lost, he said, and that would have come after years of fighting in U.S. courts, stacking up $125 million a year in interest and a projected legal bill of $50 million.

Bennett said he’s “not

happy” but noted the payout works out to 12 cents on the dollar of what Hydro may have paid out.

“We could duke this out,” he said, adding it would be a “lifetime’s work” for the lawyers involved and a huge risk to B.C. taxpayers.

“It’s actually irresponsible to not settle this with the opportunity we’ve got.”

Most of the cost of the payout consists of wiping out a $475-million debt California owes Powerex, plus interest, or else has already been carved out of Powerex profits.

A remaining $100 million that must be found will come via the rate rider and will be overseen by the B.C. Utilities Commission, Bennett said.

John Horgan called it a “complete capitulation” when B.C. had a “strong hand” as a result of a string of U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) rulings that had largely absolved Powerex of unfairly exploiting the energy crisis.

And he said it’s “absolute lunacy” for Bennett to claim the large payout won’t contribute to higher BC Hydro rates in the coming years and possibly cut into government dividends from Hydro at taxpayers’ expense.

“The only place that can come from is ratepayers,” Horgan said.

The NDP critic backed former energy minister Rich Coleman in February when the province was determined to fight on.

Horgan said a reasonable settlement would have been to erase the amounts owed by California but not pay the $275 million in additional cash.

He also dismissed suggestions from Powerex CEO Teresa Conway that the deal was important to preserve BC Hydro’s business relationship with the California market, which has generated $3.5 billion in revenue over the years.

Bennett likened the decision to the choice made in past years by Canadian forest companies to settle the softwood lumber dispute rather than gamble on a U.S. court outcome.

Most other power sellers accused of overcharging have settled.

Feeling the Breeze in South Surrey with Adera

By Kerry Vital

South Surrey is a vibrant, thriving neighbourhood with tons of amenities around. Now Adera is offering a bit of natural serenity with its townhome project, Breeze.

Located just moments from Morgan Crossing and Grandview Corners, you’ll be able to take advantage of everything the neighbourhood has to offer, including shopping, dining and recreation.

Inside your home, you’ll find a spacious open floorplan with plenty of contemporary features. Among them is a chef ’s kitchen with a dining island, stainless-steel appliances, granite/quartz countertops and a modern designer glass tile backsplash. The entire kitchen is complemented by the Metropolitan Evoke Wide Plank laminate flooring that continues through the living and dining area, with plush carpeting in the bedrooms and large porcelain tile in the bathrooms.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

There are four different two- and three-bedroom floorplans available at Breeze, ranging from approximately 1,122 to 1,445 square feet.

Adera is now offering homeowners a seriously amazing way to personalize their homes. Called I.D. By Me, the program allows the buyer to be their own interior designer and choose their colour scheme, upgrade finishes or fixtures and several other choices. Among the options at Breeze are adding heated floors in the bathrooms, upgrading the kitchen appliances and adding a washer/dryer package, along with several other ways to make your home your own.

Adera has long been committed to sustainable and green buildings, and this continues with Breeze. Among the ecologically friendly features you’ll find here are LED street lamps (a first for Surrey), motion sensor lights in the bathrooms and ENERGY STAR-rated windows and appliances.

The lush landscaping outside easily showcases the green lifestyle you will live at Breeze. All of the materials used in construction are locally sourced, reducing the carbon footprint.

For more information about Breeze and other Adera projects, and the I.D. By Me program, visit www.adera.com.

Affordable luxury in White Rock at Avra

By Kerry Vital

Amenities and amazing homes abound in White Rock, but the Avra Development Group is bringing something new to the area with Avra, its condominium development in uptown White Rock that combines curb appeal, location and high-end design in one gorgeous package. “People have nothing but great things to say about Avra,� says Vice-President and Director Chris Tsakumis. “The response has been overwhelmingly positive.�

The homes are move-in-ready and available for a quick possession, Tsakumis says. “We’ve responded to the market’s request for larger suites,� he says, noting the availability of custom homes that are actually two floorplans combined together to make a single suite. These range from about 1,300 to over 1,600 square feet, which Tsakumis says has been particularly attractive to downsizers. “These allow our downsizing clients to find something they’re comfortable with,� he says. “It’s been received really positively.�

Tsakumis says that residents don’t have to give up some of their possessions when they purchase one of the custom floorplans, simply due to how spacious they are. There are three different custom plans available in the building, along with a penthouse floorplan.

It’s obvious that the developer has gone above and beyond with Avra, and is catering to buyers who are looking for a gorgeous seaside lifestyle and plenty of space to live or relax. “No other community can offer something

custom like this,� Tsakumis says. “Avra is the only concrete high-rise community with brand-new extra-large two and three bedroom suites.�

The high-end features at Avra are definitely one of the biggest draws for buyers. Gourmet kitchens with granite countertops, beech or oak wood veneer cabinetry and stainlesssteel appliances will suit any chef. Some homes include an integrated workstation; a convenient touch for those who work at home or study.

The bathrooms are soothing and luxurious, with their own elegant cabinets, marble slab countertops and backsplash and a bathtub fit for a spa. The Kuzco chrome-finish wall sconce puts everyone in the best light, and is complemented by the framed silver vanity mirror and sleek ceramic tile tub and shower surround. “There’s a great architectural vision and design here,� Tsakumis says. “We are very confident in the product we’ve built. It’s

affordable luxury.�

Avra is perfectly located to take advantage of the amenities on offer in White Rock.

The building is moments away from shopping at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre and other local boutiques, as well as dining, services, leisure and recreation. You’re also situated near excellent schools, including Semiahmoo Secondary with its International Baccalaureate program. That school has been a major draw for families looking for the best education for their children, Tsakumis says.

Perhaps best of all, you’re just minutes from the White Rock waterfront. Because of this, the views from your new home and its floorto-ceiling windows are simply incredible.

Inside Avra itself, you’ll find a fully furnished entertainment lounge with a full kitchen, a fitness centre, barbecue patio and guest suite, as well as several outdoor courtyards. A live-in resident manager is available as well, providing hotel-style service to each resident.

Homes start at $319,900, with the custom floorplans starting in the low $700,000s. For more information, visit www.avraliving.com, call 604-531-9030 or visit the sales centre at 1455 George Street, open Saturday through Wednesday between noon and 5 p.m.

Crusaders host Pepsi Bowl High school football season opens tomorrow

by Rick Kupchuk

CLASSES START Tuesday, but the high school football season will get underway four days earlier.

Two of four local teams will play their exhibition games tomorrow (Friday), including the Holy Cross Crusaders hosting the Senior AAA St. Thomas More Knights in the Pepsi Bowl. The annual clash between to two Catholic schools is an annual event, and was won by the host Knights 43-0 last season.

The Crusaders will be in the Southern Conference of Senior AA division of the B.C. High

School Football Association, along with the Seaquam Seahawks and Frank Hurt Hornets.

The Seahawks placed third in last year’s conference standings at 3-2 (won-lost), one game ahead of the Crusaders.

Seaquam will begin their preseason tomorrow in Kamloops against the Valleyview Vikings, and are excited about their exhibition schedule.

“We will be well prepared for our first varsity game in Kamloops,” said Seahawks publicity coordinator Juliet Napier. “Sept. 21 has been designated as Homecoming when we host Holy Cross in our first league contest. And the varsity team will host an American school from Bell-

ingham for the first time in years.”

The Squalicum Storm of Bellingham will be the visitors at Seaquam on Sept. 28.

Joining the Southern Conference after several seasons in Tier II are the Frank Hurt Hornets.

The first of two preseason games on the road is next week, Friday, Sept. 6 in North Vancouver against the Argyle Pipers.

The Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers are the lone Surrey team in the Senior AAA ranks, and will play in the Eastern Conference in 2013. They take to the field for the first time next Friday (Sept. 6) for an exhibition game at home against the John Barsby Bulldogs of Nanaimo.

The North Surrey Lions placed first at the 44th annual Bronze Boot tournament, blanking three opponents while winning all three games.

Playing on their home field at Bear Creek Park, the Lions topped the New Westminister Hyacks 12-0, Chilliwack Giants 22-0 and the North Surrey T-Birds 12-0.

The defense was led by Andrew Knox, who had several big stops, and Jovyn Sangha, who made a tackle in the final minutes of the game with the T-Birds to help keep the Lions defense perfect.

Michael Jenkins, Myles McPherson, Kieran Pama and Davin Reithaug were the offensive leaders.

Keyshawn Beswick and Myles McPherson scored three touchdowns each, and Youseff Saad Sheta scored one major and four converts.

Runner-up placing for Lee Hannah Lee of Surrey placed second in the girls division of the British Columbia Bantam Golf Championship at Qualicum Beach.

Scholarships for three Surrey students

A memorable car show

BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER

Visitors check out the cars at the Burnouts at the Sky Show and Shine, held Aug. 24 at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds. The event was held in memory of Bradley McPherson, a car enthusiast who was killed while defending a guest at a house party in December 2011. Proceeds from the all-day fundraiser will go towards scholarships for students with learning disorders at two schools, North Delta Secondary (where McPerhson graduated) and Clayton Heights Secondary.

SURREY STUDENTS Emily Potusek, Prem Sai Ramani and

Konrad Sanderson have each won a 2013 education award from Envision Financial and are that much closer to achieving their educational dreams.

Fourteen such scholarships are awarded annually to secondary and post-secondary students throughout the province who are Envision member-owners and have demonstrated outstanding scholastic ability and exceptional community volunteer service.

This year Envision Financial also provided two $2,500 education awards to secondary and post-secondary students who showed outstanding community volunteerism with their local food bank.

Konrad Sanderson was one of the recipients.

Pick of the pack More than $3,300 in cash and 3,000 pounds of food was collected for the Surrey Food Bank’s new 65+ Seniors Distribution depot during the Surrey RCMP’s recent Pack the Police Car campaign.
