Surrey wants coal plan assessed

Patients are once again being treated in hallways of the state-of-the-art facility

Council opposes Fraser Surrey Docks’ proposal as it stands

by Jeff Nagel

by Kevin Diakiw

PATIENTS ARE once again being treated in the hallways of Surrey

Memorial Hospital (SMH) just weeks after the opening of its stateof-the-art new emergency department that’s five times the size of the old one.

Administrators say the ER has seen a jump in patients of 16 to 18 per cent since it opened Oct. 1, and confirmed they are sometimes opening “non-traditional” treatment areas as a result.

“In the last day or so, we have had hallway patients, and as the flow improves, we will close those spaces down,” said SMH Executive Director Lakh Bagri, adding the ER is seeing 120 to 360 new patients arrive daily.

Congestion has plagued the hospital for years and spurred the province to launch the $512-million redevelopment – including the new ER and a Critical Care Tower that is still under construction and set to open next June.

The province also built the new Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre to shift day surgery and much testing out of SMH. Lakh Bagri Officials had anticipated some patients who shunned SMH in the past would shift back when the new ER opened, and that it might even draw patients from other outlying hospitals.

Bagri said that now may be happening to some degree, based on what staff members are hearing.

“We’ve had some patients come in from as far away as Hope or Chilliwack to our emergency department,” he said.

Some may have been nearby already, Bagri said, but added more patients appear to be coming in part due to media coverage of the new ER.

ABOUT 100 people streamed into

Surrey city council chambers Monday afternoon to express their objection to more rail cars filled with coal travelling through Surrey.

The protest came as Fraser Surrey Docks is expected to soon release the results of an environmental impact assessment ordered by the port authority to further address public concerns about its expansion project proposal.

The terminal plans to open a loading facility that would transfer coal coming by rail through White Rock and South Surrey to barges that would sail down the Fraser Paula Williams River and across the Strait of Georgia to Texada Island, where it would be transferred again to ocean-going ships.

At just after 10 p.m., Surrey council voted unanimously to not support the Surrey Fraser Docks proposal as it stands, and to ask Port Metro Vancouver to commission a comprehensive health impact assessment, conducted independently, as well as full public hearings on the project.

Ves Vukovic will provide headstones to families in need.

Surrey’s Ves Vukovic is donating granite headstones to those at rest in unmarked graves

by Kevin Diakiw LAST YEAR, Ves Vukovic found out a good friend of his was dead.

Everyone deserves a name, says stone carver EVAN SEAL PHOTOS / THE LEADER

There are currently about 350 unmarked graves in Surrey’s three civic cemeteries. The City of Surrey is launching two programs to help ensure each one gets a marker.

To make matters worse, although his Serbian buddy was buried in Surrey, Vukovic couldn’t find where he was laid to rest.

After a lengthy hunt, Vukovic eventually found his friend’s grave, only to see that it had no marker.

Vukovic said his grief was compounded by the discovery his friend was buried with such anonymity. So he went to work on a nice piece of granite to create a headstone.

It was a year later when Anita Briscoe’s older brother Jason died of cancer at the age of 46.

Because of another illness, Jason had been collecting disability income, and was buried by the provincial government under a new program for people in need.

In September, Briscoe found out her brother was buried without a grave marker.

“It made me feel my promise to him wasn’t complete,” said Briscoe, who arranged for a Catholic mass in Vancouver. She had vowed to give him a proper burial. “(The grave) was still not marked, it was basically Anita Briscoe grass,” she said .

The family couldn’t begin closure on his loss until the matter was resolved, so Briscoe was determined to work extra shifts in order to save the money for a marker.

“At this point, you’re exhausted,” Briscoe said, adding the two-and-a-half years dealing with her brother’s cancer, arranging for services, and taking care of bills as they trickled in was just about all she could bear.

Then City of Surrey Cemetery Services Manager Anna Terrace called Anita and said the city and a private contractor were launching a program to install grave markers for free.

That program became possible through Vukovic, who is providing the markers to the city at no cost.

“He deserves his name,” Vukovic said of his deceased friend. “Every person deserves to be perpetuated.”

Coal project: Metro port has final decision From page 1 Surrey now joins New Westminster, White Rock, Langley and Vancouver in passing motions either opposing expanded coal exports outright or calling for public hearings and comprehensive, independent review of impacts before a decision is made.

The Metro Vancouver Board of Directors voted 21 to four to oppose outright the Fraser Surrey Docks project. Numerous MLAs and MPs have also written in opposition to the project.

Protesters said they’re not satisfied with assurances from Fraser Surrey Docks that coal dust will be carefully controlled and won’t escape and pose a risk to human health.

Many also oppose increased exports of U.S. thermal coal to Asia on grounds it will accelerate climate change.

EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER “Coal dust and diesel particulate matter cause a lot of respiratory illness and cancers,” About 100 people gathered in Surrey city council chambers Monday said Paula Williams, co-founder of the opposi- afternoon to express their oppostion to rail cars filled with coal tion group Communities and Coal. “There’s travelling through Surrey.

safety issues for people, there’s also emergency access cutoff.”

In all, the Communities and Coal organization has generated 11,000 online signatures on its petition against shipping coal by train to the U.S. On Sunday, more than 200 people demonstrated at a rally in New Westminster to register their opposition to expanded exports of coal through Port Metro Vancouver.

The new terminal would export up to four million tonnes of coal per year.

Although that’s much less than the coal shipments already exported through the region via terminals at Deltaport and North Vancouver, opponents argue it could be a first step toward greatly increased shipments out of Surrey.

The final decision is the port’s but opponents hope intensifying public pressure and concerns lodged by some local city councils, the Metro Vancouver board and the region’s medical health officers will kill the project.

Hospital ER: Is seeing more patients who are seriously ill, director says From page 1

“So we may be seeing patients in our emergency that we have not seen in the past.”

The Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation has estimated a 25-per-cent increase in ER patients since its opening on Oct. 1.

Bagri said that’s higher than the internal numbers he has seen and said it’s too early to declare the increase a trend or even be certain that it’s significant.

Patient visits routinely surge in the fall of each year with the onset of flu season and colder weather, he noted.

Fraser Health was unable to provide detailed statistics for patient counts at Surrey and other hospitals to compare whether outlying patients are now choosing SMH. Nor were updated numbers available on the wait times for ER patients to get a bed.

“Generally speaking, the wait times are now shorter, but there have been situations where the wait time for an individual is just as long as it’s been in the past,” Bagri said.

“We’re seeing more sicker patients in the last few weeks than we have had

He said the eight-storey Critical Care Tower opening next year will bring 151 additional in-patient beds that should also help reduce hospital congestion.

But Bagri made no guarantee that will eliminate hallway medicine at SMH, adding it will depend on the number of patients who show up at any time as well as other factors such as the growth of the city and the aging and health of its population.

Stones: Four hours to carve From page 3 He later realized there were hundreds of people in the city buried in similar fashion because their loved ones couldn’t afford a gravestone.

As a professional carver, Vukovic decided to help rectify that.

“This is how I can really express myself in the community,” said Vukovic, who estimates he’ll carve about 15 a year.

It takes about four hours to make each stone.

While he’s taking care of the cost of the markers moving forward, Vukovic is unable to provide stones for existing unmarked graves in Surrey.

So the city is also launching a second program to solicit community donations to enable the manufacture of memorial markers for the 350 unmarked graves currently in Surrey’s three civic cemeteries.

This program is expected to launch that fund raising drive in early 2014.

Cost of big quake pegged at $75M B.C. would suffer damage from shaking, liquefaction, tsunami, slides and fires, new study shows

by Jeff Nagel

DAMAGE TO southwestern B.C. buildings, roads, pipelines and other critical infrastructure could hit $75 billion in a major earthquake, according to a new study.

The 345-page report commissioned by the Insurance Bureau of Canada modelled a 9.0-magnitude subduction zone earthquake well off the west coast of Vancouver Island and Washington State.

The strongest ground shaking and damage levels would be on the western side of Vancouver Island closest to the epicentre.

But the report projects more overall damage in Victoria due to its many older, vulnerable buildings, as well as in the Lower Mainland from moderate shaking because of the sheer number of buildings and infrastructure at risk.

The modelling

Q For photos and maps of projected earthquake damage, go to surreyleader. com forecasts a high shaking intensity in areas such as Delta, Richmond and Victoria, causing extensive damage to unreinforced masonry buildings, including partial collapse.

A large area of Surrey, Burnaby, Coquitlam and Vancouver Island would experience the secondhighest level of shaking intensity, significantly damaging poorly built buildings and causing slight to moderate damage to better structures.

The report says lowlands with risky soil types could see significant damage from ground liquefaction, causing buildings to settle, tilt or slide. “Liquefaction damage is expected in Delta, Richmond and portions of Burnaby, Surrey, Port Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge and Abbotsford due to the loose granular sediments, high water table, and long duration ground shaking.�

It also cautions ground failure from liquefaction can also have a “great

impact� on roads, freeways, bridges and buried pipelines.

Some dikes around the Fraser River delta area may also be affected, compromising their ability to prevent flooding if a tsunami wave also arrives at high tide.

Most low-rise residential buildings in Richmond are expected to face moderate damage, as well as government buildings around Richmond City Hall, it says.

The report predicts some roads will be impassable, water supply and other buried services will be compromised and drivers should expect many bridges to be temporarily closed, if only for a few hours to check for damage that may be slight in most cases.

Vancouver International Airport would likely be cut off by road in the first few days.

And road travel between Vancouver or Richmond and suburbs to the east and south is also expected to be impaired, the report says.

The study predicts a resulting tsunami would cause the greatest damage from flooding along the west coast of Vancouver Island, but waves of up to one metre above normal could also reach some Metro Vancouver shorelines.

The report says some residential buildings in west Richmond could experience substantial tsunami damage.

Earthquake-triggered landslides are a high risk along parts of western Vancouver Island, it says.

And the findings suggest firefighters in Victoria and Metro Vancouver will battle intense local fires, possibly spreading from block to block.

IBC president Don Forgeron said Canada is unprepared for such a disaster and said the bureau is launching a national conversation on how better to prepare. “If a mega-earthquake should strike in a densely populated area, insurance alone will not pay for all the damage,� he said. “Governments and consumers have a role to play.�

While the report focused on a subduction zone mega-quake, it

didn’t look at the risks of smaller quakes that seismologists say could also cause severe damage.

The report includes detailed maps of projected shaking intensity and damage outcomes in Metro Vancouver and Greater Victoria. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Be mindful of the facts about coal

THE DIRECTION the Lower Main-

land takes regarding the export of natural resources – especially the Fraser Surrey Docks’ proposal – continues to be a source of debate.

We must be mindful of the facts about this project and not fall into the trap of heated rhetoric from either side.

These days, we often hear groups declare: “stop thermal coal.” And throughout the ongoing debate, it’s to stop thermal coal from the U.S. Thermal coal, also known as sub-bituminous coal, is found across the western United States and the Rockies – including in Canada. Coal, whether it’s metallurgical or thermal, serves an important purpose in our global society. From manufacturing the steel for modern transit, to generating the electricity we cook with, all types of coal will remain an important energy source and driver of economic activity.

In fact, coal directly and indirectly employs 42,000 people in Canada and contributes $5.2 billion to national GDP. Few have asked just how much coal will be coming through Fraser Surrey Docks. According to the World Coal Association, global coal production reached nearly 7.7 billion metric tons in 2011.

To put the Fraser Surrey Docks proposal into perspective, the company is seeking approval for a facility of just four million metric tons of coal per year – just one half of one per cent of annual global production.

In September, Port Metro Vancouver announced new requirements for the project. These include the construction of a facility at the B.C.-U.S. border where trains would be sprayed with a dust suppressant.

Locally, Fraser Surrey Docks must complete an environmental impact assessment, agree to not stockpile coal, and find ways to ensure no dust escapes barges during their trip to Texada island.

Coal remains an important fuel for the developing world. Forty per cent of the world’s population relies on coal for electricity, according to the International Energy Agency.

And in Canada, coal accounts for nearly 15 per cent of the country’s electricity generation.

By supporting important projects such as the Fraser Surrey Docks proposal, we are able to ensure the

EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER

A man wearing a face mask listens to a speaker in Surrey council chambers Monday afternoon, where more than 100 people gathered to voice their opposition to Fraser Surrey Docks’ proposal for coal port expansion. Surrey council unanimously voted to oppose the plan. long-term viability of a company critical to the local community, and preserve and add to the more than 200 jobs it already supports.

Anita Huberman, CEO Surrey Board of Trade

Port has no authority WITH ALL due respect to the

employees at Port Metro Vancouver and Fraser Surrey Docks, as a concerned British Columbian who resides on the Sunshine Coast, I have one question I would request be answered in relation to the current review process involving the coal terminal expansion proposal.

How is it possible that the entire responsibility in deciding the outcome of this review process and the ultimate permission to proceed with this initiative is borne by Port Metro Vancouver, when Port Metro Vancouver has clearly stated that they have no jurisdiction and no responsibility beyond the mouth of the Fraser River and their own

port land facilities?

This fact alone seems to be a basis for what will amount to extraordinary legal challenges and perhaps exhaustive litigation over the real possibility of damages to health, quality of life, land, sea, and air for innumerable communities, neighbourhoods and citizens, owing to an obviously flawed permitting process.

Talk about passing the buck.

Forget Fraser Surrey Docks, forget Texada Quarrying Ltd., forget Lafarge, forget Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway.

There appears to be just one single proponent for this ill-considered scheme and they, Port Metro Vancouver, apparently don’t even have the appropriate jurisdiction of responsibility to make an informed, competent decision that would ensure that the interests of all those potentially affected would be considered adequately.

Perhaps some rethinking of the approval process for this rather large initiative is in order?

Alan Morgan, Powell River

Delta: Take a stand I READ with great interest a recent

article in The South Delta Leader about the Corporation of Delta’s independent coal dust monitoring at various locations in South Delta.

Of particular concern: “Acuren... found that the canister near the airport, 15 metres from the railway used by coal trains, had about 30 times more particulate matter than the Tsawwassen samples, with about 65 per cent coal, exceeding the BC Air Quality guideline.”

If a site 15 metres from the railway has unacceptable levels of coal dust, just imagine the pollution at a mere three to four metres away. That’s the distance between a significant stretch of Lower Cougar Creek and the proposed coal train route to Fraser Surrey Docks.

If the Fraser Surrey Docks Coal Terminal is built, it’s not only our best salmon stream that will be in the target zone for unacceptable levels of coal dust (and diesel particulate) from trains through North Delta, it’s also our most popu-

lar recreational trails – the Delta Nature Reserve, lower Watershed Park, Watershed Creek and Blake Creek. These are all within 15 metres of the BNSF railway track through North Delta.

I’m of course pleased that Delta council has recently approved additional dustfall monitoring near the BNSF track in North Delta. However, how can coal dustfall be measured without running coal trains along this route? Will these measurements be done “after the fact,” too late to guide decision-making?

Given the results of coal dust monitoring in South Delta, I urge Delta’s mayor and council to take a stand now against the proposed Fraser Surrey Docks coal terminal. We should not be risking North Delta’s human and environmental health for the sake of U.S. thermal coal producers and a handful of port jobs.

Let me get this straight. This ad asks us to drive, or take other forms of transportation, in our U.S. thermal coal-built cars, trucks, or buses, to New Westminster Quay, to protest against the very same thermal coal used in the manufacturing of the very vehicles we are using to get to the rally.

It doesn’t matter if it is U.S. thermal coal, Canadian thermal coal, or if it’s from any other location in the world. We do not have any control of where the thermal coal comes from that is used to build our transportation.

Don’t get me going on the fossil fuels these protesters are burning to get to this rally against U.S. thermal coal. It is the utmost in hypocrisy.

and stabbed two other men, nearly killing them in 2010, will not have his jail sentence reduced.

A jury found Anthony Andrew Larose guilty in 2011 of two counts each of aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.

He was sentenced by Justice Neill Brown to seven years in jail (minus 14 months he’d already spent in pretrial custody).

He appealed the sentence and wanted it reduced, arguing that the prison term was lengthier than the average range for such offences.

Saunders deemed the seven-year prison term fit punishment.

She said there is no “sharp line” between aggravated assault cases and circumstances vary.

She called the circumstances in Larose’s case grave.

“A weapon was used repeatedly, causing lifethreatening injury to two persons, after they had disengaged from him,” Saunders said in her Oct. 10 decision.

“Mr. Larose has a history of violent offences, and, as reflected in the judge’s reasons, a disturbing lack of empathy for his victims and lack of self-control when angered.”

On April 3, 2010, Larose had attended a party to celebrate his release from prison 18 days earlier (for a separate offence). He and a young woman were waiting at a bus stop near Fraser Highway and 156 Street when the pair argued and Larose, who was 20 at the time, threw a rock through the glass panel of the bus shelter.

Saul Marshall and Chris Hanna were across the street and heard glass breaking and loud noises. Larose, Marshall and Hanna had all been drinking.

Hanna crossed the street and confronted Larose. While on the ground, Larose pulled a 20-centimetre knife out and said, “I’ve got this babe,” to the woman he was with.

Marshall rushed toward him to remove the knife from him and it flew into the roadway.

Larose retrieved it and ran toward the two men, slashing Hanna across the right side of his face and stabbing him three times in the chest, stomach and diaphragm.

Larose then turned to Marshall, demanding his wallet, but Marshall resisted. Larose turned back to Hanna and when Marshall went to help his friend, Larose slit Marshall’s neck from below his ear to the midline of his throat, causing extreme blood loss.

Both men spent several days in hospital with life-threatening injuries.

by Kevin Diakiw POLICE HAVE identified the man shot

to death in the driveway of his Surrey home on Friday (Oct. 25).

At about 5 a.m., at 156 Street and 86 Avenue, neighbours heard about three gunshots and a car speeding away.

Surrey RCMP and paramedics arrived to find 35-year-old Satwant Singh Bains dead inside his vehicle.

Police said Bains had just said

goodbye to his wife and kids before heading off to work. As soon as he got into his vehicle, he was shot.

Bains’ body was found slumped out of the driver’s side door of a car parked in the driveway.

Bains does not have a criminal record, said police, who added the shooting was targeted.

Anyone with information about the homicide is asked to call the IHIT tip line at 1-877-557-4448.

Stabbings unrelated Weekend knife attacks took place about a block away from one another

by Kevin Diakiw POLICE ARE investigating

two knife attacks mere blocks apart and within minutes of each other.

And the attacks were completely unrelated to each other.

On Friday, at about 11:15 p.m., a 58-year-old

Surrey man was slashed with a knife after he tried to break up another fight on the corner of 72 Avenue and 138 Street.

He was cut in the arm and shoulder, and was taken to hospital and released.

Then 35 minutes later, about a block west,

a 20-year-old woman from Castlegar was in a confrontation with a man after a house party, and she was stabbed in the neck.

She was treated for her injuries and is making a full recovery.

Witnesses should call police at 604-599-0502.

Accused thief cleared as judge doubts print Man was charged after 2010 Surrey home burglary

by Sheila Reynolds A MAN ACCUSED in the burglary

of a home in the Fleetwood area of Surrey more than three years ago has been acquitted.

The case hinged on a single fingerprint, according to reasons for judgement posted online last week.

Timothy Dale Bornyk was charged with break and enter and theft in connection with the July

2010 burglary of a house near 170 Street and 83A Avenue.

The homeowners were out of town at the time of the break-in, during which the house was ransacked.

One of the owners had a hobby/business purchasing and reselling novelty items. The only fingerprint found at the scene was on the plastic wrapping of a box containing a “carnival ghoul-

ish doll,” part of a series of Living Dead Dolls, according to court documents.

The print, however, was distorted by ripples in the plastic wrap.

In his verdict, Justice Gordon Funt said while the usable portion of the fingerprint and that of the accused were “quite similar,” he had “more than a reasonable doubt” that the two matched.

DISNEY DRESSUP!

Hope for deal on TransLink referendum Transportation minister says he wants cooperation between cities, province

by Jeff Nagel WHILE METRO Vancou-

ver mayors say it’s up to the province to decide the wording of its promised referendum question on new TransLink funding, B.C. Transportation Minister Todd Stone sees it as more of a combined effort.

He spoke after Mayors’ Council Vice-Chair Wayne Wright said last week the ball is in the province’s court and mayors are frustrated they still have no idea what Victoria intends.

“The ball is in each of our courts,” Stone said in an interview.

“At the end of the day, the province will determine the final wording and the timing of the referendum. But I hope to be in a position to do that with the support of the mayors’ council.”

Stone said he believes there is still good will among most of the mayors to reach an agreement on changes to TransLink governance, proposed new funding sources and a referendum to approve them. He wants that deal hammered out by Christmas.

Mayors, who voted in the spring to oppose a referendum many view as unwinnable, have since insisted it’s the province’s problem to figure out since it was an election promise of the premier and neither the Mayors’ Council nor TransLink has any jurisdiction of its own to lead a referendum.

“I certainly intend on stepping forward and leading on this file,” Stone said, but added

he didn’t want to get too far ahead of the mayors.

“The best scenarios are those where there’s consensus and collaboration.”

Stone has met with the Mayors’ Council as a group just once – he was not present at an Oct. 18 meeting of the council – but he said he is meeting many mayors individually.

He also acknowledged that as a new minister from Kamloops who’s been on the job just four months he has “a lot of ground to make up” in understanding TransLink’s challenges and history.

Critical to any deal is the demand of mayors that they get more say on the spending priorities of TransLink – currently under the sole control of the unelected board – rather than merely being asked to approve tax hikes.

The mayors say they commissioned a review of TransLink governance but the province has done little so far to spell out its proposals.

Stone said it’s a key piece of the puzzle.

“There can only be enhanced authority for the mayors if there’s also accountability attached to that. And the mayors are saying the same thing.”

Stone said improvements sought by Metro residents, such as rapid transit extensions in Surrey or along the Broadway corridor in Vancouver, or an improved bus network, will only get done if an agreement is reached on new funding for TransLink.

Province to hire ONLY 3 Massey advisers DAYS! Consultants are separate from later choice of bridge builders

by Jeff Nagel THE PROVINCE is poised to start

awarding contracts for work related to replacing the George Massey Tunnel with a new bridge.

Four requests for proposals were issued this month for technical advisory services for planning, procurement and implementation phases of the promised megaproject.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone said the consultants who will be hired to provide engineering, environmental, community relations and other technical advice will help the province decide the scope of the project.

“Is the project just a bridge or is it a bridge and approaches on either side?” Stone asked. “Once we’re able to really tightly define the scope, we’ll be able to hammer down the budget and then of course decide what funding model we’ll use to actually pay for the project.”

Asked if an eventual decision to toll the new bridge might not affect its use and should therefore be considered in the design stage, Stone said no.

“Before you get into a discussion on funding you have to first determine

what you’re building. This could be a $1-billion project. This could be a $3-billion project, depending on the extent of work in addition to the bridge itself.”

The Sept. 20 bridge announcement was accompanied by graphics depicting a 10-lane span and the premier said it could cost up to $3 billion.

Stone said funding for the Massey bridge project won’t be part of the future referendum on TransLink funding options because the Highway 99 crossing is a provincial responsibility.

The terms of the contracts run until 2022 and the requests for proposals closed Oct. 24.

The advisory services contractors are separate from the eventual later choice of a construction team to design and build the new bridge, as well as potentially finance and operate it as a broader public-private partnership.

Stone also acknowledged the challenges of different bridges in Metro being controlled by TransLink and the province, while tolling some of them but not all has raised questions about potentially reforming the province’s tolling policy.

Online voting no quick fix for turnout Elections Canada warns that technical and security issues are big hurdles

by Tom Fletcher B.C. ISN’T ready to

consider a wholesale shift to Internet-based voting in either local or provincial elections, according to a new report from Elections B.C. Chief Electoral Officer Keith Archer released the report Wednesday, warning that even if a host of technical and security issues can be resolved, there is no consistent evidence that voter turnout would be increased.

Archer asked the B.C. government in 2011 for authority to conduct pilot projects for electronic voting. The government appointed him to chair an expert panel last year, and its preliminary findings are not encouraging.

While there are likely benefits for voters with disabilities or in remote locations, the report concludes that governments should not expect either lower costs or greater partici-

pation from voter access via computers and mobile devices.

Despite the widespread use of new technology by young people, a survey of other results showed middle-aged and older people more likely to use online voting.

The committee recommends that online voting be considered first as an option for people with access restrictions. It says universal voting should only be attempted on a province-wide basis for consistency, security and ability to audit results.

No provincial or federal voting has been conducted online in Canada, but municipalities including Halifax and Markham, Ontario have tried it, as well as some U.S. and European jurisdictions.

Archer said online voting has unique challenges, such as the need to verify a person’s identity and then keep that separate from their voting choice. Another

issue is how to verify security of a range of computers, tablets and mobile phones that

could be subject to software tampering.

“It’s not like banking online, it’s not like

dating online, it’s not like making a purchase online,” he said.

The panel has posted

its preliminary report at www.internetvotingpanel.ca and is seeking public comments until

Dec. 4. It plans to make recommendations to the government on the next steps in February.

Classic West Coast architecture at Amaconâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RedBrick

By Kerry Vital

Outdoor enthusiasts will find a lot to love at Amaconâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RedBrick, located in the growing community of Edmonds in South Burnaby. The Urban Trail is located right outside your door, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a park across the street and others within easy walking distance.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Among the features included in the one-, two- and threebedroom homes is engineered hardwood flooring in the entry, kitchen, living and dining rooms. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find polished stone countertops and a full-height stone backsplash in the kitchen, complemented by stainless-steel appliances and laminate flatpanel kitchen cabinetry with a modern square-edge profile.

The bathrooms are soothing and luxurious, with polished stone slab countertops, oversized polished porcelain tiles and their own laminate cabinetry.

The exterior is as beautiful as the interiors, with West Coast architecture that lives up to the

developmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name, expansive windows and balconies, and tons of green space. Residents will have access to an exercise facility, TV lounges and meeting rooms, a party kitchen with a dining area, a games room and a crafts room. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play area and a barbecue terrace, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the mood for some outdoor entertaining. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find public art by artists Jacqueline Metz and Nancy Chew right on-site, adding to the beauty of the development.

RedBrick is perfectly situated for those who want to leave their cars behind. Commuting to downtown Vancouver will be simple, as the Edmonds SkyTrain station is nearby. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find schools right across the street, as well as shopping and dining opportunities close by.

Homes at RedBrick start at $239,900. For more information, check out www.liveatredbrick.com, call 604-527-7955 or visit the presentation centre at 7008 14th Avenue, Burnaby, open daily except Fridays between noon and 5 p.m.

An eclectic mix of people call Larco Investmentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Morgan Crossing home. Many of them have purchased because of the village lifestyle, with its array of shops, restaurants and amenities right outside your front door.

Finding your perfect home at Morgan Crossing

By Kerry Vital

Imagine being able to meet friends for coffee, walk out your door and go grocery shopping or browse the latest fashions, or get in a good workout, all in one spot. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to imagine that with Larco Investmentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Morgan Crossing, located in the heart of South Surrey. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all right there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just about everything anybody needs here,â&#x20AC;? says Bryan Woolley of Fingerprint Strategies.

$500 gift card!

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an exaggeration. The village at Morgan Crossing has shopping, restaurants, community events and amenities right outside your door, whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for groceries at Thrifty Foods, a workout at Steve Nash Sports Club or dinner at the brand-new, just-opened Sammy Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grill & Bar or one of the other restaurants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also have two new restaurants coming soon,â&#x20AC;? says Woolley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be great additions to the area.â&#x20AC;?

One of those two restaurants is MyShanti from well-known Vancouver chef Vikram Vij. The other is Famoso Neopolitan Pizzeria.

The homes at Morgan Crossing have been selling extremely well, and Woolley notes that this is the last chance to get into the village. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People love the village,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really connecting with people.â&#x20AC;?

Indeed, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wide range of people living in Morgan Crossing, including young first-

time buyers and older couples downsizing from their single-family home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone has their own reasons for wanting to live here,â&#x20AC;? Woolley says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The homes are really well-designed.â&#x20AC;?

With spacious floorplans and plenty of amazing features such as engineered flooring, gorgeous countertops and an open-plan layout, buyers will easily find things to love about their new home.

Morgan Crossing regularly holds community events, including car shows, fashion shows and outdoor movie nights.

Living a car-free lifestyle is a huge draw for buyers at Morgan Crossing. Being able to leave the car behind and accomplish all of your errands on foot not only saves you money on gas, but it also saves you time and keeps your stress levels down. You also may find yourself entertaining at home more because everything you need for the perfect

Metro alarmed over satellite reserves Vancouver directors say fears are overblown

by Jeff Nagel METRO Vancouver’s board

voted Friday to lodge its objections to a federal policy change that could let First Nations create satellite aboriginal reserves in the heart of local cities.

Critics say Ottawa’s proposal to revise its additionsto-reserve policy would let an aboriginal group buy property in any city and then convert it to reserve land, which is exempt from local zoning and other municipal rules.

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said a band from northern B.C. could buy up a city block in downtown Vancouver, convert it to reserve and confound normal urban planning.

“The complications surrounding the issue are immense,” she told the board. “We have to be very cautious and very guarded.”

White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin went further, suggesting a First Nation that buys Pacific Centre mall in downtown Vancouver and

gains reserve status for it would suddenly control an “ultra-competitive” special taxation zone where merchants’ costs might be much lower, creating uncertainty for nearby properties and businesses.

Baldwin said such a scenario could affect any city, adding he has been approached by First Nations interested in investing in White Rock.

In the past, new land given reserve status generally had to adjoin a band’s existing reserves. That restriction would be lifted under the policy now proposed, and bands would get more scope to use it for economic development.

The Metro motion endorsed a staff report that outlines a series of concerns for local cities, including disjointed land-use planning, the loss of taxation base and difficulties recouping the costs of utilities and other services from lands converted to reserve.

The motion was opposed

by Vancouver councillors

who sought to soften the language, warning the concerns raised were overblown and risked irreparably harming future relations and negotiations with local First Nations.

Vancouver Coun. Geoff Meggs said Metro should strike a tone that’s more supportive of First Nations’ economic development aims, particularly in light of history.

He described the centuryold reserve system as “the crumbs from the plate that were left for First Nations to subsist on when allocations were made in the absence of treaties.”

Meggs said the “doomsday scenarios” that have been raised haven’t surfaced so far in civic dealings with First Nations in B.C. “We should approach this in the spirit of problem solving, not fear and trembling.”

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan countered Metro is legitimately defending its interests and those of local cities with the federal government, which has little clue of the ramifications.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

…they can be rugged on a work site and luxurious for all occupants.

A big part of the RAM brand success has been built on the sturdy and macho exterior styling.

ZACK SPENCER

Question

Rounding up and riding the RAM range 2014 RAM Roundup The full-size truck market is big business for automakers and a big deal for the businesses and people who depend on them.

For almost five decades the Ford F-150 has been the best selling truck, with little chance they will lose that crown in the near future. What has been happening, over the last few years, is a strong shift from General Motors to RAM in terms of establishing the second best selling truck brand. The rise in RAM popularity can be traced back to a few key changes over the last several years, from muscular styling to class-leading interiors, a refined ride, plus engine and transmission advancements.

I drove the 2014 RAM model range recently, on a beautiful fall day, just outside of Toronto. The “RAM Roundup” was a great opportunity to get my hands on these new trucks well before they arrive at BC dealerships.

Looks A big part of the RAM brand success has been built on the sturdy and macho exterior styling. Front and centre is a grille that was enlarged, but better integrated, for the 2013 model year. Depending on the trim the grille finish can be chrome, painted or with a different insert. This feature is one RAM owners love so, in this case, larger

is better. Behind the grille are “active shutters” that close at higher speeds to help send the wind around the vehicle to improve aerodynamic efficiency. The same idea was also behind the longer side step, which helps reduce buffeting down the side of the trucks.

One option that I find fascinating, and would seriously consider, is the $1500 air suspension that can be lowered for easier entry into the RAM or loading into the bed. Plus this system automatically lowers over 100km/h to also reduce aerodynamic drag. At lower speeds and for off-road duties, the air suspension can be raised for better ground clearance. Having had a chance to drive several RAM trucks with this feature I notice the already smooth ride is even better and the cabin is further insulated from vibration.

Inside In the past trucks were typically used for work. Today, trucks have grown in popularity because they can be rugged on a work site and luxurious for all occupants. Having driven the Ford and new GM trucks recently, I can easily say that RAM still has the lead in interior design and finish with the Chevrolet and GMC right behind. (Ford is looking dated but look for an all-new F-150 in 2015). The centre console can be equipped with an 8.3-inch Uconnect communications and entertainment screen. In addition, there is a large

7-inch screen behind the steering wheel for fully customizable instant information readouts. The dash and seats can be trimmed in leather typically found in luxury cars not long ago.

Verdict As competitive as the car business is, the truck side is Drive The biggest It takes dynamite nuclear.

More than 30 million Corollas had already been produced when an allnew a tenth-generation 2009 Toyota Corolla hit the streets with a new body and chassis, increased interior space, more power and a revised suspension system.

It isn’t about what a Corolla does, it’s about what a Corolla doesn’t do – stop working. In fact, Corolla could be a substitute for the word ‘durable’ in the dictionary.

While the competition has certainly made great strides to improved product quality, Corolla is still the benchmark and consumer confidence in this compact car is reflected in used prices.

Ironically, from a used car buyer perspective, it may also be its biggest drawback ... good luck with finding a good used Toyota Corolla at a bargain price.

The 2009 Corolla came in CE, S, LE and XRS trim levels. The highline Corolla LE (originally $21,495) added power windows and locks, climate control air conditioning, a 4-speed automatic transmission, a wood-grain interior trim package, a push-button keyless start system and more.

Most Corolla models come with a 1.8-litre (132-horsepower) engine and the base versions came with a smoothshifting five-speed manual with a light, easy to operate clutch. A four speed automatic was the optional transmission and fuel economy is excellent, with a 7.5/5.6 L/100 km city/highway rating.

The sporty Corolla XRS (originally $21,925) offered a bigger engine, better brakes and tires plus other stuff.

(158-horsepower) engine it came with 17-inch tires on alloy wheels, electronic stability control, traction control, rear disc brakes and a strut tower brace. It was also the only version with a 5-speed automatic option.

On the inside, this Corolla is roomier than the previous generation, with more shoulder room, legroom and trunk storage space.

A tilt/telescoping steering column was standard on all trim levels and it came with two glove boxes, as seemingly past owners had complained about a lack of cabin storage space.

Almost all Corolla models come with the same safety features, which includes six airbags and the front seats come with active head restraints. An antilock brake system is also standard, but only the XRS trim has electronic stability control and traction control.

Stability control was included as standard on S and LE trim levels and optional on CE, in 2010. In 2011, stability control was made a standard feature on all Corolla trim levels.

It also got a minor styling revamp, which included new headlights, grille, front and rear bumpers, taillights and trunk lid. No significant changes in 2012, other than some re-packaging of options offered.

The Toyota Corolla has a loyal consumer following who appreciate the finer virtue of this car – outstanding product quality. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc. ca

FROM VAGABOND TO POWER SMART NEW HOME OWNER.

Classical Coffee Concert series continues Black Press ACCLAIMED pianist

ROB MICKELBERRY’S JOURNEY TO THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY After nearly a year travelling on a “rock star” bus from one end of North America to another, Rob Mickelberry, his wife and three children were ready to re-establish permanent roots back home in Victoria.

“We bought a property while we were on the road,” says Rob, “then lived in the old house while we sub-divided the lot and built a new home that would be ours.”

Because Rob wanted the home – completed in May 2013 – “for the long haul,” he was determined it would not cost a fortune to run.

Rob Mickelberry

By calling in certified energy advisors City Green Solutions early in the design process, Rob was able to build-in a number of refinements – including an air source heat pump, triple glazing, a heat recovery ventilation system and extra insulation – that resulted in the home achieving a remarkable EnerGuide 88 rating from Natural Resources Canada.

That makes it, says Mike Young of City Green, “approximately 59 per cent more energy efficient than if this home had been built to BC Building Code standards.” It will also save Rob an estimated $1,500 to $1,800 a year on his energy bills.

Icing on the cake: the high EnerGuide rating also qualified Rob for $2,000 in incentives from the BC Hydro Power Smart New Home Program, and he’s eligible for the ENERGY STAR® Package incentive of $150 per home for installing qualified energy-efficient lighting and appliances.

To find out more about buying or building a Power Smart new home, please visit bchydro.com/pshome.

five goals in nine regular season games.

The Thunderbirds will play in the Canada West final four playoff this weekend in Victoria, kicking off against the Alberta Golden Bears in a semifinal match tomorrow (Friday).

In Langley last weekend, the Trinity Western University Spartans qualified for the final four for the 10th consecutive season with a 2-0 win over the Saskatchewan Huskies.

North Delta’s Vanessa Kovacs netted both goals for the Spartans.

In the 31st minute, Krista Gommeringer a free kick into the box which found a streaking Kovacs who snuck in all alone in the back door and volleyed the ball home from five yards out.

“I feel I can time her kicks well because she has a sweet spot that comes in back post,” Kovacs said.

Less than seven minutes later, the Spartans doubled the lead on a nearly identical play as Gommeringer curled a ball into the area which Kovacs found and slammed home.

“Obviously those two free kicks were excellent,” said Spartans head coach Graham Roxburgh.

“Gommeringer’s service was incredible and Kovacs is someone who is going to get on the end of those types of crosses.”

Trinity Western will meet the Victoria Vikes in the other final four semifinal game Saturday, also in the provincial capital. Gold and bronze medal games will be played Saturday.

Football teams have something to play for Lord Tweedsmuir seeks a bye, Crusaders and Hornets play for second place

by Rick Kupchuk SURREY’S HIGH school

football teams have clinched a playoff position, but all three still have something to play for in the final week of the regular season.

The Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers are coming off their first loss of the Senior AAA season, but with a 5-1 (won-loss) record, can still finish atop the Eastern Conference standings with a win tomorrow at home against the 3-3 Centennial Centaurs.

“Friday’s game against Centennial is huge for us.”

Kurt Thornton Tweedsmuir fell 21-10 to the Terry Fox Ravens last Friday in Coquitlam, leaving both teams tied with the St. Thomas More Knights for first place.

Jamel Lyles rushed for 88 yards on 18 carries for the Panthers, scoring a touchdown in a six-yard run. Connor McKay kicked the convert and added a 30-yard field goal. Leading the defense with eight tackles each were Jairo Salazar, Brendan Woods and Austin Thornton, who also had a quarterback sack.

The top two teams in the Eastern Conference will get a bye through the first round of the playoffs, and advance directly to the quarterfinal round Nov. 15-16.

“Friday’s game against Centennial is huge for us,” said Panthers head coach Kurt Thornton. “A win guarantees a toptwo finish, and a bye would be huge for our players and coaches as it allows us to regroup, get healthy and rested for the quarterfinals.”

Kickoff is at 3 p.m. at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary in Cloverdale.

“It is also the last home game for our seniors, which can always be emotional,” added Thornton.

In the Senior AA

division, the Frank Hurt Hornets and Holy Cross Crusaders will decide second place in the Southern Conference Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at Holy Cross high school.

Both teams are 3-1 in league play, the Crusaders getting their third wing last weekend with a 50-6 romp over the struggling Spectrum Thunder.

Jonathon Kongbo led the Crusaders with a pair of touchdowns, one on a 55-yard run band another on an interception return. He also led the defense with a pair of sacks.

Special teams also contributed two scores, as returns by Will Gladwell on a kickoff and Sterling Hillman on a punt were for touchdowns.

“The entire defense had a very strong game,” said Crusaders coach Ken Buchan.

“And the offense finally moved the ball.”

Holy Cross and the

Linnen. “But it’s just an honor to make

the playoffs since we weren’t supposed

to win a game this season.”

For the Crusaders, avoiding a playoff game on the road is on their mind.

“The game is for second place and a chance to host a playoff game as opposed to going on the road to Kamloops,” said Buchan. “It is also important as it is between two schools from Surrey.

“This is the last game to fine-tune things going into the playoffs, and to go in on a roll is very important.”

The Seaquam Seahawks are 1-3 going into the final week of the regular season, and need a win at home to clinch a postseason berth.

Driving with Perfection in Mind THE ROAD RULES www.roadrules.ca

Cedric Hughes

G

enichi Taguchi, the much honoured Japanese engineer and statistician, died on June 2nd, 2012, and his passing went largely unnoticed by the mainstream media in North America— unsurprising, but nevertheless ‘shoddy work.’

Ironic that, because ‘the Taguchi method’ applied to Japanese manufacturing is what elevated Japanese automotive and electronics products from ‘shoddy’ during the post war years to ‘top-rated’ dominance by the 1980s and 1990s. And thanks to the way Taguchi generously shared his learning and insights, we, too, have come to enjoy the enormous benefits from the vast improvements in automotive manufacturing quality control due to his influence worldwide.

It’s easy to understand why celebrating statistical genius isn’t a top media priority.

Statistical concepts are challenging. Road Rules happened to see a mid-summer opinion piece by Troy Media columnist Robert Gerst addressing “Why products are better but service is worse.” Mr. Gerst explains why products are better thanks to Professor Taguchi’s insights as follows: “… because nothing can be made to perfection, engineers would also specify a level of looseness that could be tolerated by the design [of a driveshaft, for example], say 3.5 inches plus or minus 0.1 inch. A driveshaft of 3.4 to 3.6 inches, therefore, was considered… at least “good enough.” By the time all the “good enough” was tolerated in 30,000 parts, [however] you had a car that would shake,

rattle and barely roll after 30,000 miles. …

Taguchi…refused to accept “good enough.”

Specifications and tolerances were tossed and replaced with “loss functions.” These identified the loss to society for any variation from the ideal. Suddenly, engineers at Toyota [for example] had a way of determining the economic and social loss of producing driveshafts at anything other than precisely 3.5 inches. Perfection became the goal with Professor Taguchi giving us a way of calculating the cost of falling short. Japanese automobiles, once considered junk, became the icons of quality.

The answer to Mr. Gerst’s second question, why service is worse, is because ‘specifications and tolerances’ measuring continues to prevail in service industries.

Mr. Gerst points out that while many service industries seem “obsessed” with performance standards or specifications, setting them this way is arbitrary, avoids accountability and ensures “at best, stagnation in quality.” To illustrate he poses the example of someone in a hospital emergency department having a heart attack. “Are you really thinking, “Gosh I hope they make it here in eight minutes, nine times out of 10” as the service standards imply? Or are you thinking, “I hope they get here right now!” as Professor Taguchi maintains?”

Road Rules thinks there’s also a lesson here for drivers in setting standards for their own driving performance. If you think of yourself as a “good enough” driver who more or less, most of the time pays attention and obeys the rules, what about the times when you fail to fully measure up? When the consequences of even the slightest deviation from the ‘best practice’ can be so dire—“I’ll just answer this one text message now,”—shouldn’t ‘best driving practices’ always be your standard?

Gym trio honoured A trio of Surrey residents were among many honoured by Gymnastics BC at its annual awards banquet Saturday night in Burnaby.

Shallon Olsen of the Omega Gymnastics Club in Coquitlam was named the Kate Richardson Outstanding Female Athlete of the Year.

Liam Doherty of the Shasta Club in New Westminster received the National Male Trampoline Athlete of the Year award.

Devena Steinmann received a Judging Service Pin for 10 years of work.

Lions extend streak The North Surrey Lions extended their win streak in the Atom division of the Vancouver Mainland Football League to three games, defeating the South Delta Rams 30-8.

Two touchdowns each were scored by Myles McPherson and Youseff Saad Sheta, with Keshawn Beswick also contributing to the offense with several big plays.

The defense received strong tackling from McPherson, Beswick and Marquell Milanzi, a fumble recovery by Lukeman Gurdali and a sack

by Aiden Reithaug.

In a Bantam division game, the Coquitlam Chargers stopped the Cloverdale Leopards 28-6. Victor Belanger threw to Bishop Francis for the Cloverdale touchdown. Other standouts included Jordan O’Rielly and Brayden Gatland.

Peace Arch News Classic set for South Surrey Action is expected to be fierce on volleyball courts around South Surrey this weekend, as some of the best high-school players in the country get set for the Peace Arch News (PAN) Classic.

The 28-team senior girls tournament – “That’s as big as we’ve ever had

it,” said organizer Gord Houchen – begins Friday afternoon, with games set for Earl Marriott, Semiahmoo and Elgin Park secondaries.

The championship game will be played Saurday, 6 p.m. at Semiahmoo. As for which two teams will be playing in that final – that’s anyone’s guess.

The PAN Classic usually draws some of B.C.’s top-ranked sides, and this year is no exception.

Among those set to take part are a slew of quad-A senior girls teams ranked inside the provincial top 10 – Elgin Park, North Vancouver’s Argyle Pipers and Courtenay’s G.P. Vanier Towhees – as well as triple-A contenders from Seaquam and Clayton Heights.

The White Rock Christian Academy Warriors and Richmond Christian Eagles, ranked sixth and eighth, respectively, in single-A, are also in the mix for the PAN title.

Last year’s tournament was won by Elphinstone Secondary, but the Gibsons school won’t be back to defend their title this year.

God’s offer of Eternal Life Life everlasting is the offer God has made to anyone who really wants to receive it.

That can include You! Come and find out how.

You are invited to hear a talk on this vital topic on

Sunday November 3rd at 6:30pm at the Christadelphian Hall

corner of 96th Ave. and 156th Street, in Surrey.
