104 Avenue Centre: 13 years and still empty
Food bank use is on the rise
Large anchor ofďŹ ce tenant needed by Kevin Diakiw
by Jeff Nagel and Boaz Joseph MORE B.C. residents are turning to local food banks in order to help make ends meet. Nearly 95,000 people in the province used food banks in March, up five per cent from a year earlier, the national Hunger Count survey by Food Banks Canada shows. of the And the numbers are up even more in some parts of B.C. The Surrey Food Bank counted a 10-per-cent increase this year after a 25-per-cent jump in 2009. The food bank hands out $30,000 worth of food daily to up to 300 families (nearly 1,000 people) living in Surrey and North Delta. “We’ve been seeing a lot of new faces,� Surrey Food Bank Executive Director Marilyn Herrmann said. “A lot of people have told us they Over the coming didn’t think they’d need a food bank.� weeks, The Leader Eighty-seven clients were lined up will introduce you to outside the Surrey Food Bank gate when it opened Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. the people in your and many had been there since 7 a.m. community who – even though volunteers assure them are served by there was plenty of food to go around. – and who serve – Herrmann hopes she can keep making that promise. the food bank Many food banks in B.C. this year reported having to take unusual SPECIAL SERIES steps to meet the growing demand – such as cutting their hamper size, contacting other food banks for help or making special public appeals for donations. “Very few have said they’ve turned people away, or closed early or not opened,� said Herrmann, who also is a director of Food Banks B.C.

Surrey Food Bank Executive Director Marilyn Herrmann inside the food bank on Wednesday morning. The Whalley facility opens at 9:30 a.m., but people desperate for food often line up as early as 6 or 7 a.m. The number of clients served by the Surrey Food Bank increased by 10 per cent this year as compared to 2009.
THIRTEEN YEARS after it was announced as the catalyst for growth in North Surrey, the former Asian Centre still remains completely empty. The 275,000-sq.-ft. building at 142 Street and 104 Avenue now accounts for 75 per cent of the vacant office space in Surrey, in a market that experts describe as extremely active. (Market reports exclude that building when calculating office vacancy in Surrey, which is now at four per cent). Despite the building’s turbulent past, it now sits in the hands of a well-respected Arizona investor. Donald Pitt told this newspaper a few years ago he was looking for the right tenants for the 104 Avenue Centre. Right now, his Donald Pitt leasing agent, Kindred Construction’s Bruce James, is trying to secure an anchor tenant for the building. That tenant would have to commit to about 100,000 square feet of space. James said this week he has no contenders in the works right now, but there are “lots of nibbles.� The best hope recently was the Fraser Health Authority, which was looking to lease the majority of the building.

Heather Stillwell (centre) accepts her award.
Heather Stilwell honoured as pro-life ‘heroine’ In frail health, former school trustee travelled to Ottawa for award by Sheila Reynolds HEATHER STILWELL, a former longtime school trustee
in Surrey, has been recognized for her contribution and commitment to the pro-life cause. During the International Pro-Life Conference two weeks ago in Ottawa, Stilwell was given LifeCanada’s Mother Teresa Award. LifeCanada is an organization whose mission is “to promote the sanctity of all human life from fertilization to natural death through public education.” The award was established in 2008 to recognize dedicated workers in the Canadian pro-life movement. According to LifeSiteNews, Stilwell received a lengthy and moving standing ovation upon the award’s presentation. “I will fight abortion until the day I die,” Stilwell told the crowd. Stilwell has been battling cancer since her diagnosis with breast cancer in 2008. The disease spread and she recently stopped chemotherapy and other treatments and is confined to a wheelchair. She made the trip to Ontario with one of her daughters. “I am so glad Heather was able to be in Ottawa in person to receive the Life Canada Mother Teresa Award,” Ed Vanwoudenberg, founding leader of the Christian Heritage Party and friend to the Stilwell family said in an emailed statement. “Her valiant fight against cancer has greatly reduced her physical stamina, but let no one think that because of this her fighting spirit has diminished. Stilwell, a mother of eight grown children, became a well-known activist and politician over the years, collecting numerous fans and adversaries for her conservative views. Still, as a school trustee, she repeatedly topped the election polls. Stillwell’s other activities included serving as a founding member and leader of the Christian Heritage Party, president the Surrey-Delta Pro-Life Association and president of the Pro-Life Society of B.C. sreynolds@surreyleader.com

Economy: Impacting food banks
Friday November 19 2010 5
No sign of missing student Sahil Sharma vanished in 2008
From page 1 “We’re all trying very hard to keep those things from happening.” Also notable, she said, is an increase in the number of twoparent families coming for food, in contrast with the stereotype of a single parent struggling to feed the kids. The number of two-parent families using B.C. food banks has increased to nearly one-fifth of food bank clients. The annual Hunger Count also found 11 per cent of B.C. food bank users are working and earning a paycheque, but still need support. Forty-four per cent are on social assistance. Another 6.2 per cent of those assisted in B.C. were seniors and 19.5 per cent were aboriginal. Children make up 30 per cent of those who benefit. Surrey alone helps an estimated 180 babies a week and buys $122,000 a year worth of baby formula. Herrmann said the slow economic recovery is being felt in the Lower Mainland, but the impact is worst in Interior areas such as Revelstoke, Salmon Arm and 100 Mile House. “The rural food banks are being hit so, so hard,” she said. “Many industries and businesses are shutting down and many of their donors are now becoming clients of the food banks.” Unlike some rural food banks, Surrey has not had to reduce hamper sizes yet, but there are Marilyn often shortof fresh Herrmann ages fruits and vegetables. “We give what we’ve got,” says Herrmann, who adds that the most important donations are cash, allowing the food bank to make bulk purchases of fresh food. Even affluent areas are experiencing higher demand in part because of the higher cost of housing. “We’ve seen a 10-per-cent increase in the Greater Vancouver catchment area,” said Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society CEO Cheryl Carline. The society runs 16 depots serving Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and the North Shore but is considering opening new ones in what Carline calls non-traditional areas. A depot may soon open on Vancouver’s wealthy west side. Carline said volunteers are now bracing for a surge in clients as the holiday season nears. “We’re heading into the cold and wet and difficult time of year, so usually we see some of those numbers swell at Christmas,” she said. Nationally, 867,000 people used food banks in March, a nine per cent increase from a year earlier.
“We give what we’ve got.”

by Jeff Nagel IT’S BEEN two years and police
are no closer to uncovering why a promising young international student seemingly vanished into thin air in Newton. Sahil Sharma, 20, came here from India to study information technology at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. His tuition was already paid and he’d settled in with extended family in Newton. He was soon getting good grades and making new friends.
Sahil Sharma
At the family’s request, they’ve approached U.S. satellite imaging firms for any images recorded that day. “After his classes, no one saw him again,” Harling said. “He kind of disappeared off the face of the Earth.” Interpol has been contacted and police have questioned family and friends back in India. There are no concrete leads. Sahil Sharma is described as 5’6”, 144 lbs with black hair, brown eyes and a slight beard. Anyone who might be able to assist the investigation is asked to call the Surrey RCMP at 604 5990502.
But on Nov. 13, 2008, Sharma finished classes and left Kwantlen’s Surrey campus but never made it home. His mother and father flew here from India to search for their missing first-born son. There was no sign of trouble or depression – or of alcohol or drug addiction that is often linked to the more than 2,000 missing persons reported to Surrey RCMP each year. The family fears he became the victim of foul play. Nobody has tried to access Sahil’s bank accounts. “It’s a head-scratcher,” said Surrey RCMP spokesman Curtis Harling. He says investigators have turned over every possible stone.
Centre: Location ideal, realtor says From page 1 After years of negotiating, the deal soured and Fraser Health committed to move to Central City. Jason Teahen, an associate with Colliers International, said demand for office space in this area is extremely high and vacancies are hard to find. That said, filling 100,000 square feet will be extremely difficult, he said. “There’s only a few tenants of that size in all of the Metro Vancouver market,” said Teahen, Collier’s office specialist for south of the Fraser “Really, a 10,000-square-foot tenant is (considered) a larger tenant in the Metro Vancouver market.” To fill the centre, Teahen would carve the lease space into smaller chunks, from 2,500 square feet to 20,000 or 30,000 square feet.
The Fraser Health negotiations were the best opportunity to lease that much space, Teahen said. “That deal took about five or six years in the works,” Teahen said. “That was the only tenant of that size floating around in the market.” He said the location is ideal, as the centre is close to the Port Mann Bridge, the Pattullo Bridge and SkyTrain. “It’s unfortunate, because there is a high demand right now and there are a lot of tenants who would love to be in there,” Teahen said. “It’s just their expectations on the size of the tenants make it very hard to get any lease deals done in there.”

his pregnant wife told investigators she cheated on him and was abusive, a court heard Tuesday. Mukhtiar Panghali, 38, is on trial for the second-degree murder of his 30-year-old wife Manjit, who was four months pregnant when she was killed in 2006. It wasn’t until five months later, on Manjit’s due date to give birth, that Mukhtiar was charged with strangling her and burning her body beside the Deltaport Way truck route in South Delta. On the second day of his trial, B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster heard that Panghali offered several versions of their relationship to police, at one point saying they were happy
and later telling investigators they fought regularly about his drinking. Investigators also say Panghali said his wife had rage issues, tried to commit suicide and had an affair with another man. The RCMP officer who took the initial missing person’s report on Oct. 18, 2006 said Panghali told him the last time he saw Manjit Panghali was when she left for her pre-natal yoga class. The officer testified Panghali said his wife was depressed, that they argued over money and she often left the home to stay in hotels. The officer said Panghali seemed calm and nonchalant, however the officer acknowl-
edged he didn’t note the demeanour in his report. On Monday, prosecutor Dennis Murray told the B.C. Supreme Court judge evidence will show Manjit used her cellphone four times on the way to a pre-natal yoga class on Oct. 16, 2006, the day she disappeared. Her husband used the phone with a different SIM card after her disappearance. Panghali also moved his wife’s car to create confusion about her whereabouts, Murray told the court. The trial is expected to take up to a month. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Why UN is more than a forum for venting belittle India? RE: LETTERS FROM Kenneth Lawrence on
I THOUGHT A couple of last week’s
business headlines might interest letter writer Ron Watson (“No business in India,” The Leader, Oct. 6) as he had surmised the futility of a trade mission to India: 1. Montreal firm CGI expands their presence in India by 1,500 workers. 2. Bombardier closes $900-million order for 30 Q400 aircraft. India clearly has something to offer Eastern Canadian firms, so why should any local progressive firm, with aspirations beyond Western Canada’s forte of tourism, be left out? India boasts one of the fastestgrowing economies in the world today, a fact not lost on Prime Minister Harper as he commences free trade dialogue with India. With the U.S. economy in dire straits, finding new trade partners is a matter of some urgency. Beyond a ready-made market for exports, Indian firms exhibit extensive business know-how. Significant expertise has been retained through servicing the likes of the U.S., UK and Germany (on India’s top five trading partners list). Given the service sector underpins the Canadian economy at broadly two-thirds of GDP, employing more than three-quarters of all skilled workers, some of this expertise may prove useful over here. What do you think makes an enterprise hum these days? So why belittle India? Perhaps it’s an archaic mindset equating India only with snake charmers. Any fifth grader today would know of India’s IT reputation and could guess at the economic potential of trade. The fact of the matter is India has a lot to offer Canada today and has offered a lot in the past (as outlined in Bal Sanghera’s online Leader article, “Sacrifice of Sikh soldiers remembered”), whether or not recognized by those longer in the tooth than fifth graders. The stereotype of the Third World freeloader living off the freedoms that those of British stock had sacrificed so much for needs to be dispelled. More Indians volunteered to fight for the flag in the First World War than the Scots, Welsh and Irish combined. The Sikh community sacrificed many under a common flag and monarch to uphold the Western Front, and thousands stood stoic as comrades-in-arms in the very fields of Flanders that bestowed the birth of a national identity to Canada amidst the carnage of the war to end all wars. Steven Purewal Surreyy
Canada’s not winning a seat on the United Nations Security Council. On hand he is applauding losing the seat because he sees the UN as some sort of “antiIsrael entity” akin to the “New Holocaust Club.” Then he takes a dig at Michael Ignatieff for being partly responsible for losing the seat he says he’s glad he lost. It is clear Mr. Lawrence is nothing more than an abashed Harper supporter whether the PM is right or wrong.
The United Nations is of course much more than a forum for nations to vent accusations at each other, it is involved in many humanitarian missions all over the world. And we were a proud supporter of peacekeeping missions until Harper came along. Frankly I am ashamed the world now sees us as just some other country that has turned inward and picked sides on issues that are more complex than whose right and whose wrong. The current prime minister, who I might add at the eleventh hour attempted to “buy” a
seat by wining and dining many UN members in order to garner support for a seat on the security council, had marginalized this once proud country to the sidelines of international politics. Thanks Steve, for sinking our stature to a new low. Harper once said “we would not recognize Canada when he finished with it.” What we did not realize was he meant to ruin it. Matt Logan, Surrey
Is this Canada’s best premier?
A letter writer says thanks to the hard work of outgoing B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell, the next premier will inherit the strongest province in Canada.
AT 11:30 A.M. on Nov. 2, Premier Gordon Campbell of B.C. announced his resignation. According to the Fraser Institute, Campbell had the best performance of any premier, in any province in all of Canada, with a score of 89.1. If you consider the folks at the Fraser Institute as biased rightwing radicals, look at who came in second place, at 78.2 points. It was Gary Doer, NDP premier of Manitoba, and now ambassador to the U.S. under the Harper Conservative government. Number three: Danny Williams (Newfoundland); number four: Ed Stelmach (Alberta); number five: Brad Wall (Saskatchewan); number six: Jean Charest (Quebec); number seven: Rodney MacDonald (Nova Scotia); number eight: Shawn Graham (New Brunswick); number nine: Robert Ghiz (Prince Edward Island); and in last place is number 10: Dalton McGuinty (Ontario) with 29.7 points. The next premier of B.C. will inherit the strongest province in all of Canada. Fred Perry
Hungry pets How to balance budgets can’t tell time ON NOV. 7, I dutifully set all the clocks back, digital and
otherwise. On the stove microwave, table top, wall and the other places I never knew there was a clock. Inside and out. Realizing I would get another hour’s sleep I kept myself in front of the tube watching several programs. None were particularly good, so channel surfing was my principal activity for the extra hour. Then off to bed. I normally arise at 8 a.m. but 8 a.m. was now 7 a.m. My extra hour, owed to me from last spring. Ahhh, the joy of it. Not likely. At 7 a.m., which before the change was 8 a.m., I had a visit from our cat. Closely follo followed by our dog. Seems no one set their tummy clocks back the hour. the Guess who won?

BELOW ARE 10 things the federal government can do to get its fiscal house in order: 1. Wealth taxes – Ensure billionaires and the rich are paying at least the same proportion of their income in taxes as someone earning $100,000 per year. 2. National lotto – Create a national online lottery that has huge jackpots where 100 per cent of the proceeds go to pay down the debt. 3. Tax-deductible donations – Allow citizens to make tax-deductible donations to pay down the debt directly. 4. Luxury taxes – Charge a luxury tax on sports cars, diamonds, gold, pricey real estate and other non-essential highcost items. 5. Targeted inheritance taxes – Introduce an inheritance tax on estates valued over $10 million. 6. Lower interest rates – The Bank of Canada can reduce interest rates to stimulate the economy, increase investment, and lower domestic debt payments. 7. Junk food taxes – Tackle obesity and the debt by introducing a junk food tax.
8. Corporate pollution taxes – Introduce severe financial penalties for corporations and industry who pollute. 9. Sin taxes – Increase sin taxes on alcohol, tobacco, and casino gambling. 10. Legalize marijuana – Legalize and tax marijuana. The federal government also needs to introduce balanced budget legislation and put the brakes on excessive spending. Alex Sangha Delta

Sullivan Hall will be protected Surrey works on heritage status to save 75-year-old structure by Kevin Diakiw A LONG-FOUGHT battle to preserve
one of Sullivanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most significant heritage buildings has been won. Last Monday, Surrey council agreed to enter into a Heritage Revitalization Agreement to preserve Sullivan Hall, at 6306 152 St. A bylaw will be drafted to provide the hall further protection. Kelly MacNamara is the grandson of Wes Gillis, a Sullivan homesteader who was a lifetime member of the association that owns the hall. About five years ago, MacNamara made it his mission to rescue the last piece of history in the area.
A staff report to council indicated the hall is an important fixture in the Sullivan area and is worth saving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sullivan Hall is one of the last remaining significant historic buildings of the former Sullivan Village and has been listed on the Surrey Heritage Register for over 10 years,â&#x20AC;? the staff report states. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hall is an excellent candidate for longer-term conservation.â&#x20AC;? MacNamara is pleased to have the structure under protection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty happy,â&#x20AC;? MacNamara said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe 15 years ago, the hall was not old enough to be considered a heritage building.â&#x20AC;? He said now that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 75 years old

City to sell part of park Panorama lot has been used for farming THE CITY OF Surrey is selling 57 acres of a massive park it bought 12 years ago. In 1998, Surrey council went against advice of the thengeneral manager of parks Don Hunter and purchased a 437-acre parcel of property south of Panorama Ridge for $15 million. The acquisition exhausted the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual parks acquisition budget for that year.
Protect yourself and your children.
Sullivan Hall has been a ďŹ xture of the Newton community for threequarters of a century.

and the fact that the community has lost several heritage buildings (including the Wes Gillis House), the hall has a higher degree of importance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually nothing left except the hall,â&#x20AC;? MacNamara said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although it may seem early to put it into heritage, you just never know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen.â&#x20AC;?
â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the land is not purchased by the city, the owner would only be able to develop a portion as a golf course (which has public benefits) while retaining the remainder in its present state or as active farmland, thus virtually maintaining the status quo,â&#x20AC;? Hunter argued in a confidential memo obtained by The Leader at the time. Earlier this month, 12 years after the initial purchase, Surrey council decided to sell
57 acres of the property because its only use has been as farmland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we purchased the property it came in a large parcel,â&#x20AC;? said current General Manager of Parks, Recreation and Culture Laurie Cavan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In order to secure the area we wanted as park, we had to take this parcel at time of purchase.â&#x20AC;? Since the time of purchase, the 57 acres, at 13372 Colebrook Rd., has either been for rent or lease for the purposes of agriculture.
The rest of the park, between about 134 Street and King George Boulevard, is a mixture of trails, wildlife enhancement areas and wetland. Cavan could not say at this time what the purchase price will be as there are multiple bidders on the property. Council also authorized the purchase of an 8.5-acre â&#x20AC;&#x153;notchâ&#x20AC;? of land needed for a contiguous park. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

New premier Feb. 26
ly l u f E E L G A fun family panto!
Liberals to choose new leader by Tom Fletcher THE B.C. LIBERAL Party executive has chosen Feb. 26 for a membership vote to select a new leader. Party president Mickey Patryluk announced Monday evening the vote will take place without a leadership convention. The method of voting is to be determined later. Party members are gathering
in Vancouver on Feb. 12 to change their constitution for the first leadership campaign since Premier Gordon Campbell took the top job 17 years ago. The executive has recommended changing to a weighted voting system so rural areas with smaller memberships will have the same voting power as larger urban constituencies. Campbell, who called Nov.
3 for the party to choose his replacement, has said he will stay on until the new leader is selected and then remain as MLA for Vancouver-Point Grey. The B.C. Liberals find themselves in a leadership contest while preparing for a spring legislative session that is also scheduled to begin in February with a throne speech and budget. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Over-reaction to roadside tests, Coleman suggests by Tom Fletcher PEOPLE are overreacting to the new penalties imposed on drivers who blow in the “warn” range of a roadside blood alcohol test, Public Safety Minister Rich Coleman says. New penalties were imposed Sept. 20, giving police options beyond the 24-hour roadside suspension. A blood alcohol reading in the “warn” range between 0.05 and 0.08 per cent
can result in a three-day driving ban, a $200 “administrative penalty” and another $250 fee to have a driver’s licence reinstated. Drivers may also have their car impounded for three days and be billed for towing and storage, without ever exceeding the legal limit. For those who exceed 0.08, steeper on-the-spot fines and 30-day vehicle seizures are now within the discretion of police, in addition to charges
11
if they proceed with prosecution. Coleman said that since the new penalties took effect, it’s become an “urban legend” that people can’t have even one drink if they’re going to drive home. That’s having an impact on restaurant and pub business that was not intended when the measure was imposed, he said. More than 1,400 drivers were nailed with tougher penalties
in the first 20 days of the crackdown under the new rules. Before that, officers had issued 24-hour roadside suspensions to as many as 40,000 drivers a year, but those did not include financial penalties or vehicles towed to an impound lot. Coleman said the public needs more education on the roadside penalties for those under 0.08, and when it comes to seizing vehicles, police may as well.

Cloverdale assault
A 25-YEAR-OLD man is in hospital with non-life threatening injuries after being beaten by an assailant inside a Cloverdale home Tuesday morning. RCMP officers responded to reports of shots fired just before noon at the house near 194A Street and 61 Avenue. There’s not yet any clear evidence the incident is drug- or gang-related, but RCMP Const. Peter Neily said it doesn’t look like a random attack. “It does at this time have all the earmarks of a targeted incident,” he said. Neighbours say the victim emerged from

with an older man. It was actually a police officer. Now, a 26-year-old Surrey resident has been arrested by the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) Vice Unit. Robert John Harmsworth was apprehended in Surrey last Monday (Nov. 8) and charged with one count of communicating via a computer to lure a child under 14 years of age. In early September, a VPD investigator posing as a young girl on the Internet was contacted by Harmsworth, and they began exchanging e-mails. The VPD alleges Harmsworth exchanged emails of a sexual nature with the undercover officer. Arrangements were made between the two to meet at a Surrey SkyTrain station and when Harmsworth showed up to meet who he thought was a 13-year-old girl, VPD vice members arrested him.
Harmsworth’s residence was searched and police seized several pieces of evidence, including a computer and other data storage devices. Harmsworth was released on bail after appearing in Vancouver Provincial Court Monday. His next court appearance is set for Nov. 22.

has held steady so far in 2010 despite the 10-percent fare increase that took effect in April. One theory is fare evasion is on the rise – possibly due to the tough financial times over the past 18 months.
And it might not be passengers blatantly boarding without paying, but more who are paying for one zone when they’re riding through two or more. A Fare Revenue Task Force has been struck to investigate and Trans-
Link meanwhile has stepped up fare checks and enforcement on the buses and SkyTrain. More passengers also bought prepaid FareSaver tickets in advance of the April fare hike, another factor that brought down the average. TransLink expects to collect $430 million in total from the farebox this year or about 37 per cent of its total revenue, according to the second quarter financial report. It plans to spend $836 million on transit service this year. TransLink is succeeding in pulling more cash out of motorists. It’s on track to collect $322 million in gas tax this year, about $57 million more than last year thanks to the three-cent-per-litre tax hike for TransLink that kicked in last January. This will be the first year more has been raised from fuel tax than property taxes, which add $289 million. SkyTrain passenger injuries are also up – to 51 so far this year – mainly due to passengers falling on stairs or escalators. TransLink also intends to begin rolling out adjustments to bus routes as part of a drive to rationalize service and extract more revenue, by reallocating buses from under-used runs to ones where demand is expected to be higher. Those changes start in December. Overall, an improving financial outlook and various internal savings mean TransLink expects to end the year with a $34 million deficit, better than the $79 million deficit budgeted for 2010. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Farms at risk from growth plan: Critics Watered-down Metro strategy still raises red ďŹ&#x201A;ags by Jeff Nagel METRO Vancouver is
Richmond Coun. Harold Steves believes urban development in the language of a regional growth strategic plan may be used to pry farmland out of the Agricultural Land Reserve.
poised to adopt a longawaited regional growth strategy despite lingering fears it puts either
too much or too little control over future land use in the hands of the regional board. The document, Metro Vancouver 2040: Shaping Our Future, passed
first readings Nov. 12 and goes to public hearings from Nov. 24 to Dec. 2 before individual city councils and the board vote on it. Richmond Coun.
Harold Steves supports the broad strokes of the plan but says a series of special study areas identified for possible longer-term urban development may be used to pry farmland out of the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). The special study areas, mapped out by local cities, include parts of Langley, southeast Surrey, more undeveloped forest above the highest existing homes in West Vancouver and small areas in Port Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all outside the urban containment boundary the strategy draws to rein in urban growth but are, in effect, areas cities are contemplating for longer-range urbanization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re opening them up to higher land prices for farmers, more land speculation and urban sprawl,â&#x20AC;?

Concern: Urban wiggle room From page 18 He said the concept runs contrary to the plan’s goals of protecting rural areas from development and creating a compact urban area – not to mention the new aim of fostering local food production. “You fritter away the farmland that has been identified as special study areas in this 10 years and then you come up with another set of them for the next 10 years.” The Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) has also cautioned Metro that seven of the special study areas are entirely within the ALR and could not be removed without the ALC’s consent. The commission also takes issue with the strategy’s designation of a couple of major chunks of ALR land for urban development, inside the urban containment boundary. Richmond’s Garden City Lands are designated for urban use and expansions of the developed part of Aldergrove are marked for either urban or industrial use. Unless Metro gets the ALC’s consent, the commission says those parts of the document will be in violation of provincial law and of “no force or effect.” Steves said the study areas can be formally redesignated for more urban development in the future with just a 50 per cent vote – unlike other growth strategy amendments that need a two-
thirds vote. Since most cities want some wriggle room to widen their urban footprint in the future, he predicts each city will likely support other applications, together ratcheting more farmland into the arena of urban development. That concern is overstated, according to Langley Township Mayor Rick Green, who notes the ALC still has the ultimate say on any removals of land from the ALR. “It doesn’t give anybody any easy access to get land out of the ALR as I see it.” Green said the revised document strikes a fair balance and now has the support of his council after a series of revisions – particularly the creation of the study areas. Coquitlam Coun. Brent Asmundson voted against the plan, on grounds it could hand too much control over local matters to the regional board. Maple Ridge council has also demanded assurances that Metro will extend regional sewer lines to serve its planned Thornhill neighbourhood, which is designated general urban and within the plan’s urban containment boundary. Vancouver planning advocate Elizabeth Murphy has also cautioned the board that the strategy gives TransLink too much power over land use. Higher density growth is to be concentrated in urban centres and in frequent transit develop-
ment areas. The plan also prioritizes new rapid transit lines, calling for construction of the Evergreen Line and then expansion south of the Fraser ahead of a line running all the way to UBC. Four public hearings take place Nov. 24 in Coquitlam, Nov. 30 in North Vancouver, Dec. 1 in Surrey and Dec. 2 at Metro headquarters in Burnaby. See http://www.metrovancouver.org/planning/development/ strategy/ for details. The plan has been in the works for years – it’s the third draft tabled since 2007 – and would replace the outdated Livable Region Strategic Plan. The growth strategy projects Metro Vancouver’s population will grow by about 50 per cent to 3.4 million by 2041, by which time Surrey is expected to have grown to 740,000, matching Vancouver.

much greater risk of catching and spreading disease in the Fraser Health region because health authority officials have failed to deliver on the promise of their harm reduction policy, reform advocates charge. They say access to needle exchanges, safe injection sites and methadone clinics is much poorer than in the Vancouver area – largely due to opposition from hostile city councils and police forces who think an abstinence policy is best. “Fraser Health has failed to ensure needles and injection supplies are available in all regions of Fraser Health,” said Ann Livingston, an advocate with the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users (VANDU). “There’s no place in Abbotsford for an addict to get a needle legally,” David Murray of the B.C./Yukon Association of Drug War Survivors told the Fraser Health board Nov. 2. They say Abbotsford is a particular trouble spot because the city has a bylaw banning harm reduction strategies, including needle exchanges, injection sites and methadone dispensaries – even though the city has one of the highest Hepatitis C infection rates in the province. Abbotsford’s bylaw is under review and Livingston wants Fraser officials to step up the pressure to scrap it. Fraser Health CEO Nigel Murray said the authority respects and complies with Abbotsford’s bylaw but is in talks with the city “to come up with the best solution possible” to expand harmreduction efforts. Fraser Health distributes only seven per cent of the needles in the province despite having at least a quarter of B.C.’s injection drug addicts and the largest population of any health region in B.C. There are an estimated 14,000 to 16,000 injection drug users in Fraser Health, about the same as
Reform advocates are calling for more needles and safe injection sites for addicts in the Fraser Health region. in the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, according to estimates Livingston circulated. But provincial statistics show Vancouver Coastal distributes three million needles a year, while Fraser hands out just 400,000. More needles are distributed even in much less populous regions, such as the Interior (473,000 needles), Northern (453,000) and Vancouver Island (984,000) health authorities. Livingston said the numbers mean large numbers of addicts in Fraser are sharing dirty needles and likely spreading Hepatitis C, HIV and AIDS, highlighting a huge gap between Fraser’s “commendable” harm reduction policy and what happens on the ground. David Portesi, Fraser Health’s director of health promotion and prevention, did not dispute the numbers and confirmed resistance from local officials is a problem. “When you have a police force and municipal leadership that are anti-harm reduction, even if we do have ways to get around the laws, the harassment of clients can reduce or almost eliminate effective harm reduction services
in that particular area,” he said at the board meeting. But Portesi said the challenge is not merely to change local laws, but to also build community support. “We do need to increase our distribution of needles in Fraser Health,” he said. Even in Surrey, where there is a needle exchange handing out 16,000 syringes a month, access isn’t ideal. The site is open limited daytime hours only and is closed on Sunday, unlike Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, where needle exchange options are available around the clock. Advocates say Surrey council tried in 2005 to block the startup of an AIDS clinic with a second needle exchange by requiring it to submit to a community impact study – something the B.C. Supreme Court later ruled was unnecessary. Nearly all Lower Mainland cities have bylaws banning possession of drug paraphernalia. The only exception is Vancouver, which bans their display for sale in store windows but allows users to carry syringes or crack pipes. Livingston said such bylaws are routinely used in many Lower Mainland municipalities to ticket users, even those carrying Fraser Health-provided syringes. Many pharmacies won’t sell needles to people they think are drug users, she added. Livingston said studies elsewhere show harm reduction strategies cut disease, improve public order and increase the likelihood addicts will seek treatment. VANDU is recommending Fraser Health ensure syringes and safe crack pipe kits are available throughout the region, that adequate methadone replacement treatment be available and that a “mystery shopper” system be used to verify access is not being blocked.

Jane Sullivan City Clerk
KOOTENAY EAST MLA Bill Bennett lashed out at Premier Gordon Campbell Wednesday, hours after being fired from the B.C. Liberal cabinet for his earlier statements. Campbell is “abusive” to cabinet ministers and backbench MLAs and should quit immediately, an angry Bennett told reporters at the legislature. The government should dump the Harmonized Sales Tax as soon as possible and an interim leader should begin rebuilding the party’s credibility, he said. “You have almost a battered wife syndrome inside our caucus today, inside our cabinet,” Bennett said. “It’s really sad, and all the man has to do, to give the B.C. Liberal Party a chance to renew itself, is to leave.” In a phone interview Wednesday, Campbell rejected Bennett’s accusations. “You can’t be leader of a party for 17 years, you can’t be a successful leader of a caucus and a cabinet by being a bully,” Campbell said. “You have to be respectful of the members. I am.” Finance Minister Colin Hansen took a break from a cabinet meeting in Vancouver Wednesday morning to tell reporters that “all of cabinet” decided Bennett had to go as energy minister. Bennett’s recent comments to the media show that he isn’t prepared to accept that “cabinet has to operate as a team,” Hansen said. In recent days Bennett made public comments criticizing Campbell’s cabinet shuffle and his decision to stay on as premier until February. Wednesday he amplified those criticisms, saying cabinet ministers Carole Taylor, Olga Ilich and Christy Clark left because of Campbell’s intimidating presence and intolerance of dissent. “The first time he got angry with me, I simply said as a backbencher in my first year, I thought the caucus retreat wasn’t very effective,” Bennett said. “And he got so angry with me that he got in my face. He was so angry he actually spit in my face. He’s not a nice man.” tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Four local teams qualify for B.C.championships
Huskies a goal short in final by Rick Kupchuk IN A BATTLE of undefeated teams
vying for a Fraser Valley championship, the favoured North Delta Huskies came up a goal short. The Huskies, winners of all 11 league and playoff games prior to last week’s championship game in Fraser Valley Senior AAA boys high school soccer tournament, lost for the first time in two months. The visiting Langley Saints scored an early goal, then hung on for a 1-0 victory at Delsom Field. North Delta, which outscored the opposition 50-7 in those 11 contests, had already qualified for the B.C. championship tournament Nov. 25-27 in Burnaby, as the Fraser Valley zone will send five teams to the provincial event. The Saints, Gurp Mahil who were also perfect in 10 league and playoff starts while conceding just four goals, had an uphill battle to complete their perfect run to a Fraser Valley championship. They were seeded fourth for the tournament, while North Delta was ranked second. The game was fairly evenly played in the first half — and North Delta missed the goal on a penalty kick — but after Brad Keen deflected Cam McDonald’s free kick over top of the North Delta goalkeeper for the game’s only goal in the 25th minute to put the Saints ahead, the Huskies cranked up the pressure. “They were outplaying us,” Saints coach Gurp Mahil admitted. “They were more aggressive and they went for it. “They put some pressure on us, but with some luck and some good saves by Taw (Hser) in net, we ended up winning.” ■ The Enver Creek Cougars have also qualified for the B.C. tournament after placing fourth.

Ben Edu of the North Delta Huskies steps in front of Langley Saints opponents Jarrod Gibbons (left) and Josh Resv ick during the Fraser Valley Senior AAA boys high school championship game last Wednesday at Delsom Field. The Saints won 1-0, but both teams have qualified for the provincial championships Nov. 25-27 in Burnaby. Seeded sixth for the tournament, the Cougars defeated the Tamanawis Wildcarts 4-1 before losing 2-1 to the third-seed Port Moody Blues. Enver Creek stayed alive with a 3-2 overtime win over the Centennial Centaurs, blanked the Abbotsford Panthers 3-0, then clinched a provincial berth with a 3-2 victory over the Princess Margaret Lions. The Cougars lost 2-1 in overtime to Port Moody in a playoff for third
place. After their loss to the Cougars, Princess Margaret also qualified for the provincials, blasting the Charles Best Blue Devils 5-0. The Lions, seeded eighth, won three of five games in the Fraser Valley tournament. ■ The Surrey Christian Falcons battled through the backdoor to claim the third and final Fraser Valley berth to the Senior AA pro-
vincial tournament Nov. 22-24, also in Burnaby. The seventh-team in the eightteam playoff, the Falcons fell 1-0 on penalty kicks to the Archbishop Carney Stars in their first game, then facing elimination in each contest, rallied for wins over the Pacific Academy Breakers (7-2), G.W.Graham Grizzlies (4-1) and the Sands Scorpions (2-1). -with files from Gary Ahuja
THEIR FIRST game of the provincial Senior AA high school football playoff proved to be a mismatch. The Seaquam Seahawks scored four first quarter touchdowns, on their way to a 62-0 win over the Prince George Polars Saturday afternoon in Kamloops. The ‘Hawks had just three possessions in the opening period, scoring on a 29-yard pass reception from Keane Fraser, a quarterback sneak by Tyler Green and a touchdown run by Jarren Ralf. Green added another major score by returning an interception 35 yards. Seaquam continued to dominate in the second quarter, adding to the score with another touchdown run by Ralf and a 58-yard pass play to Fraser. The Seahawks played their backups played for much of a second half, adding three more major scores on a pair of quarterback sneaks from Ethan Sadowski and the first touchdowns of the season from Humza Gehlin. Sadowski was the Seahawks defensive leader with 8.5 tackles and a pair of quarterback sacks. Seaquam will kickoff against the Mission Roadrunners in a quarterfinal contest tomorrow (Saturday) at 3 p.m. at Thunderbird Stadium at the University of British Columbia. ■ The Sands Scorpions were also in Kamloops Saturday, where they defeated the Clarence Fulton Maroons of Vernon 34-16. The Scorpions will face the Windsor Dukes in quarterfinal play today at Thunderbird Stadium. Kickoff is at 5:30 p.m. ■ The Frank Hurt Hornets are in the Tier II semifinals, after a 39-0 victory over the Vernon Panthers at Frank Hurt Secondary Friday afternoon. The Hornets are up against the Howe Sound Sounders tomorrow at Thunderbird Stadium.

Concord Pacific brings a new neighbourhood to life in a growing, vibrant City Centre
November 18, 2010
Get in on a new community Missed out on Yaletown? Second chance at Park Place Rome wasn’t built in a day. Neither was Metro Vancouver. In fact, Yaletown didn’t even exist 15 years ago. Now, it houses some of the priciest real estate in the local market – and throughout the entire country – while remaining a residential downtown mecca for fashionable boutiques, trendy lounges, chic restaurants and upscale businesses. So it’s no wonder that Concord Pacific, a developer of multi-phased, master-planned residential communities including Concord Pacific Place on the former Expo 86 lands, is turning to one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada: Surrey. Recently named by the Real Estate Investment Network of Canada as the number-one place to invest in real estate in B.C. and the fourth-best city in Canada, Surrey the second-largest city in B.C. behind Vancouver. With about 800 people moving to Surrey every month, the city is set to rival the City of Vancouver’s population within 20 years, according to the City of Surrey website. Concord Pacific is bringing its Park Place community to life in its City Centre region, an area that is undergoing a massive revitalization to enhance the many amenities and homes in the neighbourhood. The construction of Park Place – two 36-storey concrete construction residential towers with commercial/mixed-use space, connected with a common podium/amenity area – adds to a number of significant construction projects underway in Surrey City Centre, including the Simon Fraser University campus expansion, the RCMP E Division Headquarters (2013 completion), Surrey Memorial Hospital (2014), the new City Hall (2013) and Surrey’s Civic Library (2011), among other large-scale infrastructure and transportation improvements. “Concord Pacific is one of our key partners as we create B.C.’s next great metropolitan centre,” Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts says, in a release about the Concord Pacific development. “The Park Place project will help create a vibrant, livable urban community in City Centre.” When both towers are complete – the second tower is expected to be finished by this time next year – the 698 suites will offer sweeping views
Concord Pacific’s Park Place offers homebuyers a chance to purchase in a new community in Surrey, one of Canada’s fastest-growing cities.

from its units, which range in size from 529 to 924 square feet. Homes come in one-bedroom, one-bedroom-plus-flex, two-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus-workstation floorplans, and they’re affordable: prices start from $209,000. Some two-bedroom plans – even on the 34th floor with amazing views – are priced under $300,000. “For us, it’s a no-brainer,” says Peter Udzenija, project marketing manager. “There’s so much infrastructure already in place. The demand for housing in the area is huge, and it’s supported by government, education and health care – none of those three are going to dwindle.” With King George SkyTrain station at its doorstep, Park Place is in a central location surrounded by green space that is loaded with current and proposed community amenities, plus the rental and resale potential is enormous, especially with thousands of new professional jobs being created in the region, Udzenija notes. The homes are fantastic to live in, with efficient floorplans that maximize every inch of living space and large balconies to take in the views. “Every single suite has a balcony – in some suites, the balcony is over 100 sq. ft.,” Udzenija

says, and notes Park Place is drawing a wide range of homebuyers, people of all ages and from all over Metro Vancouver. “Nothing faces a back alley. You have views all the way around.” Expansive windows let natural light reign inside; kitchens are modern and sleek, with two choices of colour schemes and Corian countertops. Bathrooms come with soaker tubs, porcelain tile flooring and limestone or marble countertops. The amenities shared by the two buildings include a bowling alley – a popular hit in other Concord Pacific projects, a billiards/games room, a theatre, a meeting room, change rooms, steam rooms, a fully equipped fitness facility and a yoga/Pilates room. On the podium level, residents have access to a barbecue area, an indoor and outdoor lounge and an event kitchen. The homes in Park Place I – the first tower – are nearly sold out and sales are opening for the second tower Nov. 27. And Concord Pacific isn’t stopping there. “We’re looking at more sites in Surrey. Obviously, we believe in the area,” Udzenija says, but notes that, at Park Place, “this is the last chance to get in at the beginning of a new community.” Visit www.parkplaceliving.ca for details.

SURREY AUTHOR Greg Bauder has released his latest book, The Pacifying Milton. The book, his ninth publication, deals with the Bauder’s discovery of English poet John Milton as an undergraduate student at UBC. “It is semi-autobiographical and makes the case for Milton being the greatest writer in history,” says Bauder, who earned a bachelor degree in English after years of struggling with mental illness. “I also depict Milton as bipolar, Oedipal like Christ, and, as Blake first believed, the reincarnation of the pagan Christ. I make these claims
in this non-fiction work despite suffering from schizophrenia and bipolar for 33 years.” Through the book, Bauder writes about how he stayed alive through the hope that Milton exemplified, and how his schizophrenia and bipolar disorder did not deter him from writing. Milton, Bauder shows, may have become physically blind, but his mind saw clearly what no one else was capable of seeing. Bauder’s first novel, The Temptress Ariel, is currently in development (by locally based Blueberry Street Films) to be a feature film. The Pacifying Milton is available at publishamerica.com

Song for a century PEACE ARCH a Cappella Chorus hosted Dorothy Hayes’s
100th birthday party and invited her singing friends for the celebration. Hayes was born October 28, 1910 in Dauphin, Man. She lived in Manitoba until venturing on a European tour, then moving with friends to Victoria in the 1960s. Upon her retirement as an administrative secretary with Eaton’s, Hayes moved to White Rock in the ’70s and recently became a resident of Evergreen Heights, an assisted living facility. After her move to White Rock, Hayes discovered the Sweet Adelines and joined the Peace Arch Chorus where she served on boards and committees and participated in regional competitions. She volunteered for several Dorothy Hayes White Rock agencies, and is a member of St. John’s Presbyterian Church in White Rock. Dorothy attributes her good physical and mental health to keeping both her body and brain active – she has not forgotten the names of her chorus’ members.

A five-month college course – in Africa
D
ouglas College is sending a number of young Canadians from across the country – including one Surrey and one Delta resident – to African hospitals, libraries and aid centres next week as part of the college’s ongoing Uganda Project. On Oct. 11, 15 Canadians aged 30 and under said goodbye to Canada to spend a five-month paid internship working at hospitals, libraries and other institutions in Uganda. The program is funded by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). Douglas College partnered with both CIDA and the country of Uganda to make the project a reality. “We’re aiming for two things,” says John Fox, an instructor from Douglas College’s Community Social Service Worker program and Coordinator of the Uganda project. John Fox “One, we want to contribute to developing projects that will boost people’s quality of life. Two, we want to give young Canadians international experience

that will help them find jobs back home.” Participant Kristopher Schmitz of Surrey has a Masters degree in International Studies from Simon Fraser University. He has done extensive research on education in the developing world. Delta’s Patricia Manning received a Bachelor of Social Work degree from the University of British Columbia in 2008. She has previously travelled to Africa, where she volunteered for the Uganda Rural Fund. Some participants are headed to Uganda’s Masaka Regional Referral Hospital, where they will work with patients with HIV/AIDS, medical/surgical conditions, mental illnesses and other health-related needs. Others are going to work on literacy projects in community libraries with the Ugandan Community Library Association. Still others will be placed as interns with the Child Restoration Outreach, where they will be working with streetentrenched children and youth, as well as with the Uganda Schizophrenia Fellowship, the Uganda Society for Disabled Children, and the Namugongo Fund for Special Children. “When participants come back they’ll be able to use this experience to kick start their careers,” says Fox. “Given their age, the benefit will pay itself forward for decades.”

The college has a strong foundation of experience in Uganda already. Since 2006, close to two dozen students from the Community Social Service Worker Program, and more recently from the Co-Occurring Disorders, Early Childhood Education, and Dental Assisting programs, have travelled to Uganda for 10-week field learning practicum placements with various agencies as part of their education. The college also has other long-term commitments to Uganda. In 2006 it established the Uganda Endowment Fund to provide funding for social service agencies in Uganda with a focus on inspiring children, strengthening families and building community resources. “Uganda is improving rapidly, but it pales in comparison to Canada in terms of health, education, and social services,” says Fox. “Contributions made by Canadians in partnership with Ugandans will enhance the pace of progress, but more importantly will contribute to the learning and development of both partners.” Douglas College is one of the largest colleges in British Columbia, providing a variety of bachelor’s degrees, university transfer, career and developmental programs for over 20,000 students each year. The College is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. For more information, visit www. douglascollege.ca

Council will vote on a new bylaw to ban the sale of puppies and dogs in local pet stores. While some might question why a city council would highlight this issue, such bans have been implemented in a growing number of U.S. cities and the topic is now being raised in communities across B.C. One of the primary reasons such bans are being proposed is to stop the flow of dogs from puppy mills into our communities. Puppy mills are substandard operations where breeding dogs are kept in tiny crates for their entire lives and subjected to horrific conditions in order to maximize the profits of the unscrupulous operators who sell their puppies for upwards of $2,000 through a variety of venues, including pet stores. Having seen the devastating cruelty of puppy mills through my work at the BC SPCA I applaud municipalities that are taking steps to stop unscrupulous breeders from selling dogs in our communities. But I also have a personal reason for supporting these bans.
Calleigh, now 12, spend much of her first 10 years as breeding stock at a puppy mill – one used by breeders to provide dogs to sell at local pet stores.

An Options Christmas Society offers opportunities to help liven up the holidays for families HOW WOULD YOU like to o make to
make a difference in someone’s meone’s life this Christmas? Options Community Services works with hundreds of families who need your help. Melissa Orsoto is a Spanish Settlement Worker with Options Community Services. Last Christmas she connected the Grade 7 class at Southridge School in South Surrey with the Cordova family.. The Cordovas were newcomwcomers from a small village in Mexico. Ten family members lived together in a small home and were struggling to get by on a very meager income. When the students of Southridge heard about the Cordovas, they collected everything imaginable to make the family’s first Christmas in Canada a memorable one. Gifts, clothing, toys, and personal items were all wrapped and labeled for the children and parents. Orsoto was amazed when she went to the school to pick up the items.
“Oh my goodness. g There were boxes and b boxes of food and presents,” she sa said. “It almost didn’t fit into my vehicle. v It was such an honor to be a part of this Christmas giving. givin ” The Cordovas were overwh whelmed. “Everyone was very emotional,” she said. “The parents were so touched and thankfful.” Can you help Options Comm Community Services this Christmas? Your donations of gifts and cash will ensure that a family in need will experience a holiday season worth remembering. Options is a non-profit, registered society dedicated to making a difference in this community. Last year Options was able to arrange delivery of more 300 hampers to those less-fortunate.

POWER, Wayne Arthur June 2, 1947 - Nov. 12, 2010 The Power family is saddened to announce the passing of Wayne after a courageous battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his family when he peacefully passed away. His wife Terry of 36 years will deeply miss him, along with his three children Michael (Sheryne), Lisa (Tomislav), Leanne (Marcio) and two grandchildren Braedon and Liam. Wayne was an amazing husband, father and papa who also touched the lives of many others. He showed utmost dedication throughout his working career and was devoted to his family. The family would like to thank Dr. Graeme Duncan, at the B.C Cancer Agency, and Dr. Gregory Tobert, his family doctor, for the kindness and dedication that they showed to Wayne. We would also like to thank the Emergency Room staff at the Delta Hospital, in particular, Erin Coates and Julie Brotherston for their gentle nursing care.
