Newton bingo hall to lose its slots BC Lottery Corporation to pull one-armed bandits

by May 15 Black Press

THE BC Lottery Corporation (BCLC) has decided to pull slot machines from the Newton bingo hall.

The lottery corporation announced the decision in a news release Wednesday afternoon, citing “changing local market conditions, which do not satisfy BCLC’s vision to offer outstanding gaming and entertainment” as the reason for pulling the one-armed bandits from the facility.

Since October 2012, Newton Bingo Country, at 7093 King George Blvd., had been home to 150 slot machines.

However, earlier this month, Surrey council asked city staff to address the potential removal of the slot machines on the basis that Gateway Casinos and Entertainment – which was seeking to redevelop and renovate the property into a community gaming centre – had not met a May 1 deadline to begin construction, as detailed in its project development agreement.

Two-week spring break here to stay – at least until 2017 Surrey School District tables next three years of school schedules

by Sheila Reynolds IF YOU’RE the parent of a child in a Surrey public school, you’ve no

doubt grown accustomed to having the kids out of class for two weeks each spring.

And like it or not, the extended spring break vacation is here to stay – not just for next year, but until 2017.

For the first time, the Surrey Board of Education has approved its district-wide school calendars for the next three consecutive school years – 2014-2015, 2015-2016 and 2016-2017.

Each of the three school years, approved at the board’s last meeting on March 13, includes six non-instructional days throughout the year, as well as four or five extra school closure days in Surrey to extend the normally week-long provincial spring break in March.

The extra spring break days add up to a savings of at least a halfmillion dollars for the school district.

Spring break will be March 9-20 next year, March 14-24 in 2016 and March 13-24 in 2017.

Recycling change ‘not good for Surrey’

Surrey RCMP’s bike squad was disbanded in the mid2000s, but has now been resurrected.

Police say the public can expect to see the bike patrol frequently at parks, school playgrounds and beaches, attending community events and providing traffic safety policing.

Local business groups oppose new MMBC-run system

by Terry Farrell LOCAL BUSINESS associations are

weighing in on the debate around impending recycling system changes, as the implementation date draws near.

Officials with the Surrey Board of Trade and the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce say their primary concern is not where money for the Multi Material BC (MMBC) program is going, but rather, where it is coming from – consumers.

“I think the intent… is admirable, in terms of wanting to reduce waste, I mean, really, that’s what this is,” said Anita Huberman, CEO of the Surrey Board of Trade.

“But when you are talking about a program, managed by a separate entity, that is going to add significant costs to business, which will then off-load that cost to consumers, that is not acceptable. I just don’t think that the province has really thought this through. This is just not in the best interest of our economic health.”

The NDP is accusing the provincial government of handing Anita over control of Huberman B.C.’s blue box recycling system to Toronto-based multinational executives who will be unaccountable while B.C. businesses and households pay higher costs.

Opposition small-business critic Lana Popham raised the issue of MMBC in the legislature Monday, calling on the province to change course before the agency’s new system for recycling packaging and printed paper takes effect May 19.

“If government doesn’t take a step back, B.C.’s recycling system is going to end up in a giant dumpster,” the Saanich South NDP MLA said.

“The control of recycling should never have been outsourced to the large corporate interests based in Ontario and abroad. This is a profound failure. This program needs to be paused and the entire concept reconsidered.”

Popham’s comments follow the launch earlier this month of a campaign against MMBC by a coalition of business groups, including the newspaper industry, who say they can’t afford to pay high fees imposed under the new system.

MMBC is requesting 20 cents per kilogram to recycle newsprint, while similar services in Ontario cost less than one cent per kilogram.

Public: More school space a priority From Page 1

Reni Masi

Trustee Reni Masi said the district consulted with parents, students and employees about the school calendar proposals and all were supportive.

The School Amendment Act (Bill 36) enacted in spring 2012, established new rules wherein there is no longer a standard B.C. school calendar and each district is required to establish its own school schedules following consultation with stakeholders.

Keep fighting for new schools, board told THE SURREY Board of Education held

two forums in February and March to gauge what the public views as priorities for education and the message was clear: continue pressing for dollars to build more classroom space.

“The topic of securing capital needed for new schools, and the impacts on the district general operating budget, is an area that parents and students are deeply concerned

about,” reads a summary of the meetings (available on the Surrey School District’s website).

In addition, trustees were asked to look at easy to accelerate new school approvals and build times, to focus more on expanding existing schools, to explore private-public partnerships and open or adjust school boundaries to accommodate explosive growth in some areas.

As well, it was suggested a committee of parents, students and trustees be established to better coordinate advocacy for funding.

Blaze in Newton guts house Firefighters forced to knock down tile roof

by Warren Jané A SURREY family’s home

was badly damaged Tuesday after a house blaze broke out in Newton.

Firefighters responded to a call of a house fire in the 13500 block of 59 Avenue at approximately 5:13 p.m. March 25.

Aside from the intentional demolition of a tile roof deemed to be a safety hazard, the situation was dealt with rather quickly, said Assistant Fire Chief Brian

Woznikoski.

“It was extinguished within the first 15 minutes the guys were on scene,” said Woznikoski.

“Then from there what they were doing was pretty much putting out hot spots.”

On Wednesday, an accessibility ramp and child’s electric wheelchair could be seen outside the house, both melted in the fire, and the front window was shattered from the heat.

The inside of the residence was in rough

LETTERS

Teaching undervalued RE: “TEACHERS: The writing is

on the blackboard,” Letters, The Leader, March 20.

Mr. Sawchuk makes several incorrect assumptions in his diatribe against teachers. First of all, he assumes that because a portion of teachers did not vote when a strike vote was being taken that those teachers would automatically be “no” votes.

Second he likes to skirt the truth about B.C. teachers’ salaries. Teachers in B.C. are taking home $2,000 a month less than their colleagues in the rest of Canada, a ridiculous gap that needs addressing.

Third, the “two week spring break” is in reality a one-week

paid break as teachers are forced to work overtime each day in order for the second week of spring break to occur. This is a result of school boards needing to save money in their budgets by closing schools for the extra week. All of this is necessitated by the downloading of school costs onto local boards from the provincial Liberal government.

Fourth, “lieu days” are simply just that. Teachers have worked for those days during the summer when they are not paid and get those days off in lieu of days previously worked.

As for teachers’ pensions, the public should know that 90 per cent of the pension is generated

from investments and member contributions and only 10 per cent is funded by the government.

I find it particularly galling that most of the diatribe seems to be coming from men, and that they don’t seem to take umbrage with workers in male-dominated professions having a pension plan or making comparable wages to their colleagues in the rest of Canada.

It seems more and more to me that this is a gender issue where female-dominated professions, like teaching, continue to be undervalued in our society.

The bill was $621.35. I went to the bank machine and brought in all new $20 bills. I had counted it out, twice, and then Dale Carpenter, the owner/manager counted it out and found I had one $20 too many.

He returned the $20 instantly, making me extremely happy.

We have all read stories of being ripped off at garages before. I’m happy to report it did not occur here. I endorse this shop and the honesty of its owner.

Huberman: Costly decision From page 3

MMBC Managing Director Allen Langdon said the fees fully finance the program and ensure service for multi-family apartments and rural depots, in contrast to Ontario’s more limited focus on single-family homes.

MMBC will also take new types of containers and packaging not collected in B.C. before, he added.

Cliff Annable, executive director of the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce, predicted job losses will also result.

“This will affect jobs,” said Annable. “Costs go up and owners have to lay off people, so workers lose their jobs. This is still a fragile economy.”

Huberman said both organizations are saying no to the recycling program, as managed by MMBC.

LEADER FILE PHOTO

Multi Material BC is set to take over B.C.’s blue box recycling system in May. “There have been so many concerns, especially in the past week, that have been raised by companies that need to distribute paper for the marketing of their product. We are very concerned with the financial and administrative impact that this will have on, especially, our small- and mediumsized businesses. “This is not good for Surrey at

all,” she said.

Huberman acknowledged the response contradicts the official stance taken by the B.C. Chamber of Commerce.

“I know that the B.C. chamber has indicated that they are very pleased with the amendments that the province made to small businesses to try to reduce the burden (of the new program), but that is not what

we are hearing on the ground – neither of our organizations.”

Neither the Surrey Board of Trade, nor the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce are members of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce.

Huberman said that although the new recycling program is slated to take effect in less than two months, there is still time to put a halt to the proceedings.

“It is never too late to do anything,” she said. “If a lot of noise is made, that makes a difference.

The premier, she does have a history of paying attention to what people are saying. She doesn’t always listen, but in some cases she has, and she has reversed decisions. So it’s not too late to reverse this decision, one that is going to add costs to businesses and really hurt our economy.”

Gateway and BCLC disputed the notion, and the development agreement, obtained

by Black Press, stated that permits had been applied for and demolition of two buildings had been completed, though “no construction has taken place.”

The city was not a signatory on the development agreement, and BCLC had the final say as to whether the slots would be removed.

According to the release, the slots will be discontinued by May 15.

Its the second time in just over a year that a gaming proposal has been shot down in Surrey.

In January 2013, a proposal for a South Surrey casino was voted down in council.

In Wednesday’s release, BCLC stated that it will continue to “review options to serve the gaming marketplace south of the Fraser River.”

POLICE BRIEFS

Remains found in Green Timbers park RCMP AND the B.C.

Coroners Service were on the scene at Green Timbers Urban Forest on Monday night after a Surrey resident made a shocking discovery.

A man was walking through the forest when he caught a

glimpse of what he believed to human remains on the ground. Police were called, and they do not believe foul play was a factor in the death.

“If it’s discovered that foul play was involved [then] we’ll reach out to the appropriate

resources,” said RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet. “But at this point it’s not being considered.”

Paquet said “the condition of the body is consistent with having been there for an extended period of time,” and so far no age, gender or cause of death has been determined.

forced their way into a residence at 101 Avenue and 156 Street through a basement door and proceeded to rob the occupants of the residence, who are not known to police.

“We’re still trying to establish exactly what the motive was,” said RCMP Cpl. Bert

Paquet.

“We know enough at this point, without saying too much, that the residence was specifically targeted and definitely not a random robbery.”

While it is still unknown what specific items were taken, police did confirm that a safe was stolen.

Police arrested Daniel Ivan Ugarte last May and charged him with sexual interference with a person under the age of 16.

The incidents were alleged to have taken place between early 2012 and May 2013.

This month, the charges against Ugarte were stayed.

Crown prosecutor Jodie Harris said the charge didn’t meet the standard for charge approval.

Mom waits for verdict in son’s murder Killers of Branson Sanders to be sentenced in Surrey Provincial Court on March 28

by Wanda Chow

HANNELE Sairanen had a bad feeling talking with her son, Branson Sanders.

It was Nov. 27, 2011, only weeks before Christmas. She told him to come for a visit.

Whatever was troubling him at the time, she remembers thinking it would all be better if he came to see her on Vancouver Island.

“That was the last conversation I had with him.�

From what Sairanen has been told, he was dead only hours later.

Sanders was 20 years and four months old. His severely burned body was found in bushes in Burnaby by someone walking their dog on Dec. 2, 2011.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) believes he was

Branson Sanders

killed in a home in the 18000-block of 55 Avenue in Surrey and his body was dumped in Burnaby.

Media reports have said it’s believed Sanders was killed after a fight at a house party.

Two men, Shakib Shakib of Burnaby and Brandon Nandan of Surrey, both now 21, were arrested in March 2012 and originally charged with second-

degree murder. That was raised to firstdegree murder and carrying out an indignity to a human body.

They pled guilty to manslaughter on Dec. 5 in Surrey Provincial Court. Their sentencing hearing is scheduled for Friday (March 28).

Surrey man and woman arrested after Langley robbery

A SURREY MAN and woman are facing a number of charges relating to a shooting in Walnut Grove March 16.

Christopher Carl Agin, 29, and Rosemary Souriyavong, 24, are both charged with robbery with a firearm and break and enter.

Agin is also facing a charge of discharging a firearm with intent, aggravated assault,

assault causing bodily harm and possession of a restricted firearm.

A third suspect, a 22-year-old Surrey man, was arrested and released.

Police are expected to recommend charges against him, too.

Police were called to a property in the 8300-block of 216 Street after gunfire was heard. A licensed medicinal marijuana grow operation was found on the property as was one

person who had been shot and another assaulted. A foot chase ensued into a quiet Walnut Grove subdivision, where arrests were made with help from police dog services and the Emergency Response Team.

Police said the grow-op was the likely target of the suspects, who are all known to police.

A gun was also seized.

been identified due to his age at the time of the crime, has a sentencing court date set for April 15.

But for Sairanen, there can be no satisfaction in whatever sentences are meted out. “It’s a joke. It’s a really bad, bad joke.�

Surrey recognized for waste program

SURREY COUN. Bruce Hayne has accepted a Sustainable Communities Award from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities on behalf of the City of Surrey for its “Rethink Waste” collection program.

The program, which was launched in October of 2012, aims to become North America’s first comprehensive, closed-loop, fully integrated organic waste management system once the biofuel facility scheduled for construction in Port Kells is completed next year.

The 70-per-cent diversion from residential waste, which was outlined by Metro Vancouver as a goal for 2015, was achieved within a matter of months, pushing Surrey ahead of the curve in sustainability practices.

“It’s very gratifying because I think it’s something that we take very seriously,” said Hayne of the award. “As we grow and develop as a city, everything we do has to be sustainable for the future generations.”

by Jeff Nagel HANDYDART service denials

climbed again in 2013 and critics say the increasingly constrained access to TransLink’s custom transit service is unfair to the disabled and elderly.

There were 42,418 service denials where requests couldn’t be accommodated due to constrained capacity – 3.5 per cent of all trips. That was up from 37,690 in 2012 and represents an eight-fold increase in the last four years.

“We have committed no crime and yet are sentenced to house arrest when demand for rides

outstrips capacity to provide rides because politicians won’t make transit funding a priority,” said HandyDart Riders Alliance spokesperson Tim Louis, a former Vancouver councillor.

A further 0.9 per cent of HandyDart trips requested were refused, meaning they couldn’t be provided at the requested time and the customer wouldn’t accept an offer of an alternate time of up to an hour sooner or later.

TransLink’s HandyDart budget has been frozen for five years and no new money is available.

But Coast Mountain Bus Co. transit services director Martin Lay said the number of trips

provided has been increased by shifting 10,000 service hours from HandyDart mini-buses to taxis.

Lay said the strategy is to provide as much service as efficiently as possible with the money available.

Transportation planner Eric Doherty said it appears extra money for HandyDart will depend on Metro Vancouver mayors making it one of the expansion priorities to be voted on as part of a referendum on new TransLink taxes.

“There’s obviously a crisis in the HandyDart system,” he said.

TransLink says CNG buses now beat diesels Preference based on fuel savings, engine improvements

by Jeff Nagel TRANSLINK officials

are defending their plan to buy 170 more natural gas-powered buses over the next three years, saying fuel cost savings and improved technology now make them better than diesels.

A compressed natural gas (CNG) bus burns less than $20,000 per year in fuel compared to $40,000 for a diesel, Coast Mountain Bus Co. fleet manager Dave Leicester told Metro Vancouver directors March 12.

Leicester sought to better justify TransLink’s preference for CNG buses going forward after earlier criticism from some skeptical Metro politicians, who suspect the province has applied pressure because it

wants to launch a huge liquefied natural gas industry.

Most of Coast Mountain’s 1,340 buses are diesels, but there are about 50 CNG buses based mainly in Port Coquitlam, as well as 262 electric trolley buses that run mainly in Vancouver.

Early CNG buses that arrived in the 1990s and 2000s were plagued by costly maintenance problems.

But Leicester said since 2008 CNG bus engines are better and more reliable, have greatly reduced emissions and better hill climbing – a major shortcoming of earlier models.

Modern diesels, meanwhile, have become more complex due to stiffer requirements for pollution controls such as par-

“We refer to it as a chemical factory that has to be carried behind the engine to clean it,” he said.

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said he remains doubtful, based on TransLink’s “disastrous” early experience with CNGs, that they’re

worth the money if they result in higher costs of maintenance, parts and training.

“It’s not a sensible way to operate a transit system,” Corrigan said of splitting the fleet into too many fuel types.

He said diesels are still the most flexible type of bus that can be

deployed anywhere in the region.

CNG buses cost more – about $485,000 each compared to $410,000

for a new diesel.

They also require specialized CNG fueling stations, which are to be built in Surrey and Richmond so future natural gas buses can run there as well.

Corrigan said TransLink is betting natural gas will continue to be the cheaper fuel in the future, when that’s not certain.

Fuel prices are a risk, Leicester said, but added TransLink’s estimates are conservative and the natural gas price advantage could get even bigger.

He denied there’s pressure from Victoria for CNGs, but confirmed it did happen

before.

“I will say in the past we’ve had political pressure,” Leicester said, but noted major cities in Alberta and Ontario are also now switching back to CNG buses after previously abandoning them.

TransLink isn’t phasing out diesels – it will continue to buy them as well.

But Leicester said it is ruling out all-electric zero-emission fuel cell buses because they’re much more costlier at more than $1 million per bus, not counting the need for costly charging technology on their routes.

Coolants may be hot target for Metro

A SURPRISE climate change culprit may soon be in the crosshairs of Metro Vancouver as regional district planners pursue tough new regulations to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

Commercial freezers and refrigeration units found in supermarkets, warehouses and other industries that aren’t properly maintained can leak specialized

chemicals that are potent greenhouse gases (GHGs).

According to Metro estimates, those coolant leaks could be equivalent to releasing 500,000 to 1.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year in this region, because some refrigerant chemicals have up to 12,000 times the warming effect as regular CO2.

Eliminating the leaks could therefore cut up to one tenth of the region’s current green-

house gas emissions of 15 million tonnes per year, helping Metro toward its goal of a 33 per cent reduction (from 2007 levels) to 10.5 million tonnes by 2020.

So senior planners are beginning to consider imposing fees and violation penalties on businesses with such cooling units to ensure they’re periodically tested and inefficient units get fixed.

It would be Metro’s

first foray into greenhouse gas regulation, tearing a page from similar climate change rules to control refrigerants in California.

Metro has provincially delegated authority to regulate regional air contaminants and already has a mandatory carrot-and-stick program in place that punishes owners of older soot-belching offroad diesel machines, while offering them rebates on their fees if they retrofit.

The question is whether that regulatory power can extend to greenhouse gases, not just localized pollution.

Quan noted federal law has designated greenhouse gases as air toxics.

“We think there’s a case to be made for looking at greenhouse gases as air contaminants.”

A first step would be seeking a legal opinion, then Metro would extensively consult affected businesses.

If Metro’s power over GHGs is confirmed, it could set the stage for more rules to rein in emissions, staff told Metro directors Wednesday at a workshop on climate change strategies under consideration.

A program of mandatory testing for refrigeration systems might cost up to $300,000 to develop but then be self-funded through

Electric cars and charging stations are highprofile tools in the fight against climate change. But plugging leaks in commercial refrigerators might do much more to reduce emissions within Metro Vancouver. fees, Metro planners say.

It’s thought that cost savings from plugging leaks will help owners, who may also be encouraged to put curtains and covers over open coolers and freezers in supermarkets to cut energy costs.

Metro’s two biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions are vehicles and buildings – each make up a third of the total.

If the 2020 target were to be hit strictly by targeting vehicle emissions, it would require taking 90 per cent of vehicles off the road by then, or converting all of them to electrics.

Other emission sources are industry (15 per cent), ships and other non-vehicle machinery (15 per cent), agriculture (three per cent) and waste (two per cent).

Emission cuts must come from many sources: Metro IT’S HOPED that care-

ful regional and local land-use planning will do much to cut carbon emissions within Metro Vancouver over the long term.

As people live in denser, more complete neighbourhoods, planners say, more residents should be able to shop, work and play near where they live, with more scope to walk, bike or take transit instead of driving.

Denser residential housing can also be heated more efficiently, and district energy systems can slash carbon emissions in dense downtowns.

Another idea being floated by Metro is to create energy efficiency

labels for new homes, in partnership with willing developers.

Vancouver Coun.

Raymound Louie said there should also be a mandatory energy audit and similar disclosure for resale homes as well, so buyers know the carbon footprint and monthly energy cost of the home they’re buying.

“The new homes are not, mostly, the problem,” Louie said. “It’s those old ones that are the problem.”

Other initiatives Metro is considering to cut carbon emissions include increased capture and use of landfill gas from the closed Coquitlam landfill and increased capture of heat and methane from its sewage system.

One high-profile project completed in recent years was the installation of six electric car charging stations in Metro regional parks.

Coupled with the installation of other publicly available chargers by cities and partners, there are now 235 charging stations region-wide.

It’s hoped they give residents more comfort they’ll be able to charge up an electric car if they buy one.

As of January, there were 579 electric vehicles registered in Metro, mostly part of government or corporate fleets.

Design and livability combine at Sixth + Willow

By Kerry Vital

The ultimate modern lifestyle has arrived in Vancouver at Sixth + Willow, a townhouse community from Kenstone Properties that has people talking.

The curving weathered steel screen on the exterior is something unique in the area and has inspired a lot of interest.

“We were inspired by the location, and the busyness and traffic along 6th Avenue,” says Kenstone’s director Edwin Liang.

“It references the speed and movement of cars; it’s almost like an armour.”

The weathered steel screen on the exterior of the development also filters out noise from the streets around it, and allows for residents to look out while hiding their home from view.

It’s been garnering a lot of buzz.

“People don’t really understand it,” says Liang. “While we were constructing it, people would stop to look at it, and

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

people in the neighbourhood ask about it. There have been a lot of questions. Sometimes people think we’re being funky for the sake of it, but that’s not the case here.”

The screen has already been installed, and the weathering steel will continue to oxidize and attain a rusty patina, adding to the beauty of the architecture.

“You’re witnessing a process,” says Liang. “The process isn’t as beautiful as the finished product. These homes were designed and developed to be experienced in person.”

Liang notes that Kenstone’s end goal is to create enduring value for their homeowners, and this will continue at Sixth + Willow.

“We concentrate on the livability of our projects,” he says.

“We build something different.”

Inside, the townhomes have been built to ensure tons of natural light and afford beautiful views. Homeowners are within walking distance of tons of amenities, including dining, shopping, leisure and recreation.

Anthem Properties and Beedie Living are developing a master-planned community in Burnaby’s Metrotown area called Station Square that will eventually encompass five towers and plenty of retail and commercial space. The homes themselves are spacious and open, with breathtaking views of the surrounding neighbourhood.

Master-planned living at Burnaby’s Station Square

By Kerry Vital

Anthem Properties and Beedie Living have teamed up to bring Station Square to Burnaby’s Metrotown neighbourhood. With a fantastic location, beautiful homes and plenty of amenities, it’s no surprise that people from all over the Lower Mainland are flocking to it.

“Burnaby is a sought-after city to live in,” says Greg Zayadi, vice-president of sales and marketing for Anthem Properties. “This is an incredible little neighbourhood we’re creating.”

The second tower at Station Square will open for sale in mid-May, and will be a 48-storey building encompassing 443 condominium homes.

“The first tower has been a huge success,” says Zayadi. “There’s a huge amount of interest in the next tower.”

Zayadi says that Anthem will offer the same beautiful features as in the first tower, but with a few changes, including slightly different floorplans.

Station Square will eventually include five towers and tons of retail and commercial space. Among the confirmed tenants are Rexall, Save On Foods, TD Canada Trust and Caffe Artigiano. There will also be direct access to SkyTrain and transit.

If you choose to venture off your property, the Metrotown neighbourhood offers plenty of options for shopping, dining, leisure and recreation.

The architecture at Station Square will be distinctive and modern, with bay windows and plenty of glass and concrete.

“The tower has been inspired by New Yorkstyle art deco skyscrapers and is intended to stand proudly in its own right, appearing taller than it actually is by incorporating vertical elements such as the deco top, bay window and superframe elements,” according to architect Chris Dikeakos Architects Inc. Due to the height of the building, homeowners at Station Square’s second tower will have breathtaking views.

Inside, modern gourmet kitchens feature stainless-steel appliances, contemporary flatpanel laminate cabinetry with under-cabinet recessed puck lighting and quartz countertops with marble accents.

Wood laminate flooring throughout the living areas and bedrooms and ceilings up to nine feet in height continue the luxurious theme, while the bathrooms are spa-like and

relaxing, with quartz countertops, a soaker tub and a frameless glass shower surround in select bathrooms.

Homeowners will have access to plenty of amenities, including nearly an acre of indoor and outdoor space, Zayadi says. The first and second tower will share some of their

amenities, including an infrared sauna, fitness facility, entertainment lounge with a gourmet kitchen, indoor/outdoor seating and outdoor dining areas and a reflecting pool.

Homes start in the $250,000 range. For more information, visit www.stationsquare.ca or call 604-689-3040.

FIRST-TIME HOME buyers in Metro Vancouver expect to spend $506,500 on average and many anticipate financial help from parents or relatives, according to a Bank of Montreal survey.

It found 40 per cent of Metro Vancouver respondents expect to lean on the “bank of Mom and Dad” to crack the high-priced market here, compared to 30 per cent in the rest

of Canada.

The average expected first-time home cost nation-wide was $316,100 and $430,300 in B.C. as a whole.

At least 60 per cent of the expected new home buyers surveyed earlier this year said they’d made lifestyle cutbacks to save for their down payment.

A majority also said their homebuying timeline has been delayed, with many of them reporting that’s because of rising real estate prices.

by Keith Morgan wild, optimistic prediction but a solid forecast based on what our readers revealed in a comprehensive survey conducted on behalf of Black Press by Pulse Research, a company with 30 years of experience in asking the right questions of consumers.

In a series of wide-ranging interviews, Black Press newspaper readers from all over the province gave Pulse a comprehensive account of their spending plans. Their intention to spend $53.1 million on fish and chips, $45.8 million on tooth whitening, $13.1 million on tattoos or piercing, $9.1 million on pet toys and $1.9 million on tuxedos, raised some smiles.

But the auto spending intent grabbed our serious attention. A massive 123,275 households will take vehicles for a spin and sign on the dotted line. A massive 51,895 will park a new car on their driveway, 32,312 will house a sport ute in their garage, while another 28,395 will opt for a truck out front.

This generation of 200 debuts the new “face of Chrysler” with its signature grille and logo. There’s also a standard set of rear LED tailamps, and the interior craftsmanship is much more impressive than before.

This mid-size sedan is hoping to play ball – and win – against competitors like the Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, Mazda6 and Toyota Camry, in an ever-aggressive segment.

Using the baseball analogy with the 200 seemed apropos since the drive event took place in Louisville, Kentucky, the home of the Louisville slugger.

Nevertheless, here are the meat and potatoes for the all-new vehicle.

There are four trims of 200 available. First is the LX and that has a starting MSRP of $22,995. Then there’s the Limited, the S and the topof-the-line C model.

Regardless of trim, each comes with an industry first, also known as a 9-speed automatic transmission.

My day started behind the wheel of the Limited trim with the 2.4L, 4-cylinder MultiAir engine (MSRP $24,995). This powerplant produces 184 horsepower and 173 lb-ft of torque.

The interior reflects that of thoughtful craftsmanship and design. Soft touch materials are used throughout and the layout is easy on the eyes. Not to mention the abundance of cubbyholes in which to place personal items.

On a side note, the interior colour combinations drew

inspiration from various American cities. For example, the all black interior pays homage to New York City, the Linen and Black is Sausalito, California and the Blue and Black on the S model to Detroit.

The centre stack can be adorned with either a 5-inch touch screen or the optional 8.4-inch. To me, the 5-inch screen seemed a little small, so I’d invest in the larger version. That said, it was still highly functional and easy to use.

On the road, the 2.4L Limited shines brightest when on the highway and on long stretches of pavement.

It has ability in the twists and turns, but to really get

a dynamic feel, you’d need to opt for the S or C trim to put it in the Sport mode. In that case, you get a different suspension setup and steering feel to really allow you to have more fun in the captain’s chair.

Back to the 2.4L though.

In the city, I felt I didn’t need much more power.

Steering feel is light and allows to car the move with ease at slow speeds and gingerly into parking spots.

Overall, a pleasant drive.

The second half of my day was consumed with the V6.

Yum. The award winning 3.6L, Pentastar V6 packs 295 horsepower underneath its sparkling new hood. For a driver’s car, this is the one I’d pick.

What’s more, you can configure this engine on all trims except the base LX. Additionally, you can opt for an all-wheel drive setup too.

However, the AWD system needs to be paired with the V6.

Getting into the sport mode, or fun mode as I call it, requires pushing down and turning the central dial/gear selector to the right. Make sure you push it down, otherwise it won’t go anywhere. And less fun will be had.

When accelerating, there’s a little bit of a throaty gurgle that comes standard out of the twin exhaust pipes around back. It’s a nice sound and one that I enjoyed hearing over and over again.

One thing I did notice is that the A pillar did have width to it, so visibility is a little trickier out the front. And with its sloping roofline, visibility out the rear could have been better.

Thank goodness for the rearview camera.

Along with its new bodywork and insides, there are over 60 standard and available safety features to keep both you and the 200 looking good and in one piece.

The 2015 Chrysler 200 will be available in the second quarter of 2014.

Misty-eyed memories of my first truck ‘‘

It was worth every penny of the $12,000 I put into it.

Ian Harwood

’’

I can remember buying my first truck in 1986 like it was yesterday.

It had to be a specific make and model: I was looking for.

A Toyota 4x4 pick-up, black in color and it had to be in good shape. I wanted it to be bone stock with as little mileage as possible.

I found one in the paper that was on the lot at a dealership in Surrey. Quickly I called them to inquire and they said they had a couple of people with deals written up, but it didn’t look like they were going to go through, so if I wanted it I had better get down there right away (Naive at that age to fall for and old trick like this).

I had to get a ride from a friend and I remember it was snowing so it was slow getting there. When I arrived it was running and they were anxious for me to drive it. I took it around the block and parked it in a vacant lot, hopped out and started to inspect it. I immediately noticed rust and some body damage. Clearing the snow off inside the truck box, I could see more damage. It looked like someone had dropped a bowling ball into it from about a high ledge.

I could smell antifreeze and noticed some oil leaks.

I headed back to the dealership disappointed.

The salesman was there to greet me. He asked if I had any concerns and I started to point out the obvious. He quickly dismissed them as cosmetic and said do you want to write a deal on it because he has people in the showroom wanting to buy it. I told him I was not interested.

On the ride home, I thought how quickly I had to grow up and look at everything as if someone was going to take advantage of me, sad reality. The next day I picked up the latest copy of Truck Trader and spotted the exact make and model I was looking for. I bought the 1983 edition for $9,000 from a family that only used it once a week to drive to Abbotsford and back to Coquitlam for supplies.

It was perfect; funny how God puts things in your path and everything works out in the end. A week later I started to work on it. I acquired some used 33 inch tires and installed a 4” lift kit. I drove that truck every night after work to show it off.

I washed it so many times I thought the paint was going to come off. A year had past and I purchased many more items for the truck. A major

car show was coming up soon and I decided I would put it in the back of the shop and work on it so I could enter it into the show. Giving up my truck for a month was tough and I had to make a few sacrifices to get around.

My first car show was a hit.

I came in second place and I was determined the following year I would be back with something they have never seen before. I poured

most of my paychecks into my truck and took it off the road for two months to prepare for its transformation.

I called up the owner of Interco Tire and asked about some Supper Swamper tires. He said he had a set of 44x18.5x15 tires in his office that nobody has seen before. At that time the largest they made were 42”. I told him to send them to me I would figure out what I had to do to fit them under the truck.

When they came in they looked big. So big I was

getting worried. The custom leaf springs came back from the spring shop and I knew my calculations were correct. With all the multiple shocks in place, chassis freshly painted, motor work done, a lower gears installed it was ready for the tires. I cleared away the debris pile that accumulated around my truck. Placed the floor jack under the rear axle and started to jack it up. With the rear tires on and clearing the fenders it was time to move to the front. When I started to lift the front I noticed how high the hood was getting, at that point I knew I had built a monster.

With all the tires in place I slowly drove it out of the shop. The sun gleaming down on the freshly polished paint and the smell of paint burning off the exhaust system still sticks in my mind. Outside it looked

like a beast; people were slowing down to take a look.

The show was a week later and I came home with first place. Mission accomplished.

It was worth every penny of the $12,000 I put into it.

Then I sold it for $15,500 in 1990 so that I could afford to get married . . . need I say

any more?

Confessions of a Curber

MADE FOR

CANDANAVIA The 2014 Volvo XC90.

2014 IIHS Top Safety Pick.

It’s only been a month, but I can see myself selling cars for a long, long time. I feel like a new man.

One evening, I was in line at the superstore.

An elderly gentleman saw my shopping cart.

I had a new digital tire gauge that I was going to give to my next buyer.

Turns out he was looking for a used car as he’d recently given his car to his grandson.

He just needed something basic.

“This is your lucky day!” I told him.

The old fellow was around my father-in-law’s age – close to 80. He walked with a cane and had two ear pieces. I was practically shouting to him. What an easy sale.

I decided to give him a ride and show him the car. He went on to tell me about his young granddaughter, too.

At any rate, we got to the car – it was a base model with an automatic transmission. “It’s perfect for you, sir!” I exclaimed.

He got in and sat at the wheel. His face lit up right away. I could tell that he’d been a car enthusiast in his younger days. “Where’d you get this car, son?” he asked me.

“It’s my dad’s old car – he passed away and I

“Somewhere along the line, the rebuilt status was dropped.”

just can’t keep it anymore,” I lied.

In reality, I imported the car from Washington.

It came with documents that mentioned New York State. The title was clean, so I assumed it was in good condition.

I priced the vehicle quite high – well over its value. But he didn’t know, and he didn’t ask any more questions. I told him I had another buyer interested (another lie), and that he had to make a decision right away.

With no hesitation, he got a bank draft and I gave him the keys. Like I promised, I threw in the new tire gauge. Marty gave me a wink and slowly drove off.

Another foolish customer, I thought. No history report to keep me on my toes. And worse, he needs to get it inspected, registered and insured within 30 days - I didn’t bother. I just got my buddy in Bellingham to help me get it across.

That evening, I took out the papers I’d received with the car. I decided to go over them more thoroughly. I guess I was a bit bored.

Turns out, the vehicle had been registered in four U.S. states. Somewhere along the line, the rebuild* status was dropped. Probably intentionally. The inspection and ICBC will catch that. And who knows if the odometer is right? At least it’s no longer mine. *Rebuild – A vehicle written off as a total loss by an insurance company, then rebuilt and certified for use. This term does not describe a vehicle that has a new or repaired motor, transmission or other major part. Rebuilds offer savings when repaired well, but a buyer has a right to know it was rebuilt. But this buyer didn’t and Walt walked away with the cash.

The Hagerty Spring Thaw is a budget-minded driving adventure through British Columbia for pre-1979 touring and sportscars.

IN A FITTING end to a remarkable season, the Surrey Falcons defeated the North Shore Avalanche 5-1 last Thursday (March 20) in the final of the B.C. Hockey Female Bantam A championship.

The Falcons were up 2-0 after the first period in Fort St. John, and built on that lead with two more goals in the second and one in the third.

Mya Taylor and Danika Pasqua each scored twice, while linemate Jessie Sanghe had a goal and two assists. Emily Duchak added two assists, and Chelsea Humphreys had one. Rosetta Maggio was a standout in net.

North Shore and Surrey had battled throughout the year, with the Avalanche edged the Falcons in the final of the Wickfest tournament in Calgary in November and the Falcons topping North Shore in a shootout in the final of the Superheart tournament in Surrey in February.

The Falcons were second to North Shore in both league play and in the Pacific Coast playoffs, only to come out on top at the provincial championship.

“The girls were determined throughout the week to come out on top,” said assistant coach Boyd Stoppler. “Everyone contributed and put the team first. They refused to be denied of the championship. It’s a very special group.”

Playing without Mackenzie Brown, sidelined with a broken collarbone, Surrey was perfect all week.

The Falcons opened the provincials Sunday with a 5-1 win over

at the provincials with a 4-3 win over Castlegar on Wednesday, securing a berth in the championship final. Hall scored twice.

Pasqua also scored, while Tessa Younger drilled home the winner from the point. Team captain Sophia Christopherson had two assists in the game, as did Perez.

Surrey cruised to a 5-0 win over Kamloops in the morning Thursday. North Shore, as the top seed and Lower Mainland playoff champion, did not have to play another game that day.

Sidhu had a goal and two assists against Kamloops. Pasqua scored twice. La Roue and Alexander also scored, while Lynch recorded her second shutout.

Sadie Stoppler returned from injured and picked up an assist.

Q The host Surrey Falcons placed third at the Female Pee Wee A provincial tournament at the Surrey Sports and Leisure Centre. The Falcons went 4-2-0 (won-lost-tied), their only losses to the Richmond Ravens and North Shore Avalanche, the two teams which advanced to the final.

Q The Falcons also had a team in the Female Midget A provincial tournament. They went 2-4-0 to place sixth at the seven-team competition in Salmon Arm. Q North Delta went 3-2-0 at the Midget Tier 3 championship in 100 Mile House to tie for second place in their group only to be eliminated on a tiebreaker.

At the Midget Tier 4 provincial tournament in Clearwater, the Surrey Storm tied for fifth place after going 0-4-1.

Brossoit an emergency recall by Oilers Goaltender from Cloverdale suits up for first NHL game

by Rick Kupchuk AFTER FOUR stops in

minor league cities, Cloverdale’s Laurent Brossoit finally made the one he wanted.

The goaltender was called up to the National Hockey League (NHL)

by the Edmonton Oilers on Monday afternoon on an emergency basis after Viktor Fasth was injured in practice.

Brossoit was on the bench for Tuesday night’s game in Edmonton against the visiting San Jose Sharks, backing up

starting netminder Ben Scrivens in a 5-2 loss.

It was the first time he had dressed for an NHL game, and did so after two stops in the American Hockey League (AHL) and two more in the ECHL in his first season as a professional.

PHOTO COURTESY EDMONTON OILERS

Laurent Brossoit was in the lineup for the Edmonton Oilers Tuesday night for a game against the San Jose Sharks.

“A hectic year. I’d never been traded before…if you’d ask me to define how this year would go, I definitely wouldn’t have thought I’d be on five different teams,” Brossoit told the

Edmonton Journal. “Five different jerseys, three different leagues.”

Brossoit had been playing for the Oilers’ ECHL affiliate Bakersfield Condors, where he was putting together a

very impressive rookie season. As the starter, he compiled a 19-9-2 (won-loss-overtime loss) record with a 2.20 goals against average, a .920 save percentage and a league-best seven

shutouts.

His goals against average ranks second in the ECHL, and he has been named the CCM/ECHL Goalie of the Week three times this season.

Brossoit, 21, was drafted in the sixth round, 164th overall, by the Calgary Flames in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft while he was with the Edmonton Oil Kings of the Western (Junior) Hockey League (WHL).

He turned pro over the summer, playing for the Flames prospects at the Young Stars competition in Penticton in September. He was sent to Calgary’s AHL affiliate, the Abbotsford Heat, to start the season but after two starts was sent to the Alaska Aces of the ECHL. The Oilers, owners of the WHL Oil Kings, acquired Brossoit in November and the netminder was on the move again.

easoned car buyers or lessees have learned that when they drive their new or new-to-them vehicle off the dealership lot, they remain only a file number/ phone call/letter away, and that with warranty and regular maintenance requirements, they will be back. Recall notices also require attention on the part of vehicle owners and the dealership’s servicing department.

Most recalls involve small fixes that can wait for regular servicing. Usually, they are not newsworthy. Others, however, regardless of their size or complexity are essential fixes.

Drivers, the vehicle manufacturer, the parts supplier and any others involved—may all be at risk until the problem is solved.

The recent recall by General Motors of over 1.6 million vehicles to correct a potentially faulty ignition switch installed in its Ion, Cobalt and other compact models in the early 2,000s may be seen as a classic example of how not to handle a recall and, as one reporter described it “has spurred the automaker’s biggest crisis since its 2009 bankruptcy and bailout.”

Engineers may have discovered the problem in 2001. Inside the ignition switch—a relatively simple and inexpensive part—a loose spring could switch the ignition off when the switch was bumped.

An ignition key weighted by a heavy ring was enough to trigger such a bump. Once triggered, the shut off reportedly extended to the engine, the power steering and the air

bags. Twelve fatalities have been allegedly linked to the faulty switch. There was no official recall until February 2014.

Endless questions about this safety issue have arisen: what went wrong, who knew about it and why the large automaker took so long to recall models made over a decade ago. The process is just getting underway.

GM’s new Chief Executive Officer apologized this week for the “tragic events” that resulted from the faulty switches.

Reports say that GM has launched an internal investigation, and the CEO will testify before a (US) House committee on April 1st. The CEO has also pledged that “GM will learn from its mistakes in the ignition-switch recall”, and going forward will have “the most comprehensive and responsive process in the industry” for investigating safety defects.

The switch manufacturer, Dublin, Irelandbased Eaton Corp. sold its switch division in 2001 to Delphi Automotive Plc, a GM supplier formerly a GM parts division. Claudia Tapia, a Delphi spokeswoman, reportedly has said in an email “We’re continuing to cooperate with GM on reaching an expedited solution,” but declined to discuss Delphi’s relationship with GM during the development and production of the Ion and Cobalt.

The switches were manufactured at a southern US plant which in 2005 moved production almost to a Mexican plant which provided labour cost advantages.

Fiat SpA, GM’s then partner in its grand plan to make money on making small cars has declined to comment. At the time, GM was a 20% owner of Fiat, an arrangement that ended in 2005 at a cost to GM of $2 billion.

GM watchers are expecting answers which may support the accusation of a “culture of cutting costs and squeezing suppliers.” …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.
