Transcript of Surrey North Delta Leader, November 20, 2015

Between 1995 and 2009, police were hunting for the man who had been sexually assaulting children in Vancouver, Delta and Surrey with increasing violence.
DNA evidence had ruled out 561 suspects, and crime analysts had narrowed down the most likely sus-pect to one man – Ibata Hexamer.
He was watched by police as he threw a coff ee cup away, an item that when tested, matched the DNA found on victims.
Hexamer pled guilty to the crimes.“Had we not been called in and
applied our approach to it, and they stayed with traditional policing investigative techniques on this fi le, we might not have caught him on the second hit, or the next, or the next,” Vancouver Police Department Special Const. Ryan Prox said in a book titled Eliminating Crime.

Hospitals in the Fraser Health region have improved slightly from the spring on key indicators of congestion, but large numbers of incoming patients continue to wait too long to get a bed.
Fraser Health’s latest report card sug-gests a persistent problem still remains – despite repeated initiatives to improve
patient flow.As of September, it shows just under 40
per cent of admitted patients got a bed within a 10-hour benchmark so far this year. That’s far below a target of 55 per cent, which is itself lower than more ambi-tious targets that had been set in previous years and subsequently discarded.
A 2012 congestion review warned hallway medicine was so rampant in Fraser that staff were resigned that the jammed condi-tions would remain “intractable.”
At that time, just 51 per cent of patients admitted through emergency were getting a bed within 10 hours.
The 39.8-per-cent rate for 2015 is up from 35 per cent last May.
Just two hospitals – Burnaby and Fraser Canyon – are currently meeting the 55-per-cent target for admission within 10 hours.
The majority of incoming patients wait longer than that at every other Fraser Health hospital.
And two-thirds or more of the patients are waiting longer than 10 hours at Surrey Memorial, Delta, Abbotsford Regional, Chilliwack General, Eagle Ridge and Ridge Meadows hospitals.

In response to two terror attacks in Beirut and Paris, local interfaith groups are holding a pilgrimage today (Friday) in honour of the dead.
On Th ursday, Nov. 12, bombs exploded in southern Beirut, Lebanon, killing 43 and injuring more than 200.
Th e following day, in a series of bombings and mass shoot-ings, 129 people were killed in Paris, France, with more than 400 injured.
Th e Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has claimed re-sponsibility for the attacks.
On Tuesday, three Surrey groups announced plans for an “Interfaith Pilgrimage” to honour those those died in the attacks in the two cities. Th e event is also hoped to foster friendship between people of diff erent backgrounds, religious beliefs and world views.
Th e groups planned to meet at Northwood United Church
(8855 156 St.) at 9 a.m. Friday, Nov. 20 and march to the Surrey Jamea Masjid (12407 156 St.) in time for participants to join the Muslim community for prayers at 12:30 p.m.
Th e route will also go past four other places of worship: Bear Creek Community Church, Brookside Sikh Gurdwara, Laxmi Narayana Hindu Mandir and Canadian Singh Sabha Sikh Gurdwara. Th ere will be a small ceremony at each site.
Th e pilgrimage is open to all members of the community at no cost.
Event organizers are from various beliefs, including Islam, Christianity, atheism, Bahá’í, Sikhism, Hinduism and Bud-dhism.
“When we are confronted with deep loss, fear often emerges in our thoughts. Walk-ing together is a tangible, bodily demonstration of unity that reminds us to let go of fear and to move forward in love,” said Scott Reynolds, an event organizer from the United Church of Canada.

As promised in last year’s election, Surrey has hired a director of public safety strategies in hopes of bet-ter utilizing crime-fi ghting personnel and strategies in the city.
Surrey has hired Dr. Terry Waterhouse, the current chief safety offi cer at Simon Fraser University.
Waterhouse will work with the Offi cer in Charge of the RCMP, the Surrey fi re chief, bylaw personnel and external agencies with an eye to optimize all crime-fi ghting resources available to Surrey.
Waterhouse has worked in his capacity at SFU since 2011 and before that was a faculty member of criminology and criminal justice director for safe schools and communities at the University of the
Fraser Valley.From 1986 to 1996, he
was a constable with the Vancouver Police Depart-ment.
Much of his work after that involved preventing kids from getting involved in crime.
He also has experience with the United Nations in enhancing service provision for the Sudan Prison Service, worked with the police service in Kosovo and helped develop juvenile justice in Ethiopia.
Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said she is pleased to have secured Waterhouse for the job.
“Th e diverse and lengthy experience that Dr. Wa-terhouse brings as the new director of public safety strategies for Surrey is unparalleled,” Hepner said. “From his global experience with the most vulner-able, at-risk youth to his knowledge and expertise in the integration of public safety best practices, Dr. Waterhouse’s technical skills, academic background and leadership abilities will serve him well in this critical role for the city.”
Waterhouse will begin his new role eff ective Dec. 7.

In contrast, neigh-bouring Vancouver Coastal health au-thority reported it’s essentially meeting the same target, with more than 54 per cent of its patients getting a bed within 10 hours.
From April to Au-gust, Fraser Health averaged 204 patients across its hospitals who were admitted but not yet given a proper bed and were instead being treat-ed in ERs, hallways, lounges or other non-acute care areas. Th at’s down from 222 in the spring, but still in excess of a target of
165 or less.However, Fraser
Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said the latest data available shows a further drop in October to 199 and all of those patients are now in ER beds, not hallways.
Juma credited the improving trend to Fraser Health’s deci-sion to use $5 million to hire more staff to prevent unnecessary hospital admissions, support weekend discharges and speed transfers from emer-gency to inpatient units.
“Th at investment
that we had made earlier in the year is starting to pay off ,” she said. “We are start-ing to see that number now come down and are eff ectively no lon-ger using hallway beds to provide the care to the patients.”
Another bright spot in the report card is that the average length of stay in hospital is down to 8.2 days, within 10 per cent of the target of 7.8 days, also indicat-ing improving patient fl ow through wards to residential or home care.
But too many “long-
stay patients” are still occupying hospital beds for more than 30 days.
And too many extra days that don’t need to be spent in hospital happen while patients that could be dis-charged wait for trans-fer to a care home or to home care or other specialized care with supports.
Fraser says it plans to open 34 new resi-dential care beds soon to help improve that fl ow.
Juma predicted the ongoing work to add residential beds and improve community
capacity “is also going to have impact as we start to move people out of the hospital into the places they need to be in the community and then out of those emer-gency beds into those inpatient beds.”
Overall, the eight out of 30 indicators on the report card are meeting target, 16 are within 10 per cent of targets, and six are well off -target and a priority for improve-ment.
Fraser Health is beating the provincial target for speedy repair of hip fractures. And
the rate of C. diffi cile antibiotic-resistant infections is now below the provincial target.
Hand hygiene is also strong, with 88 per cent of staff washing correctly in audits, compared to an 80-per-cent provincial target.
Th e two Lower Main-land health authorities both publish report cards but don’t report all the same indicators.
Vancouver Coastal has a target for keeping surgery wait times in excess of 52 weeks to no more than two per cent of cases, and its report card shows that was 1.1 per cent as of August.
Fraser does not report that statistic – Juma said it is re-dundant because the details are available on the province’s surgery wait times website.
She said the propor-tion of surgeries in Fraser waiting longer than 52 weeks was 2.4 per cent in 2014-15, down from 5.7 per cent in 2010-11.
The average wait time for surgeries in Fraser has declined from more than 14 weeks in 2010-11 to 11 weeks as of last year, while the number of surgeries performed increased about 2.4 per cent to 85,000 procedures.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled there is evidence the RCMP “were engaged unlawful acts” during an undercover sting that led to a Surrey couple being arrested and later convicted of planning to bomb the Victoria parliament build-ings on Canada Day 2013.
John Nuttall and Amanda Korody were found guilty earlier this year of one count each of conspiring to com-mit murder and possessing explosives for the benefit or on behalf of a terrorist orga-nization. The verdicts were not entered, however, due to a defence application for a stay of proceedings.
Defence lawyers argue RCMP officers entrapped the couple during a months-long police sting in 2013 – dubbed Project Souvenir – that culminated in
Nuttall and Korody’s arrest after inert pressure cooker bombs were planted outside the B.C. legislature.
“In this case there is evi-dence that the RCMP’s actions during Project Souvenir constituted the offence of facilitation of a terrorist ac-tivity,” said Justice Catherine Bruce in her Nov. 17 finding in response to a defence appli-cation for all legal opinions provided to the RCMP during the investigation.
During Nuttall and Korody’s criminal trial, which began in February, the jury saw and heard more than 100 hours of undercover video and audio evidence collected by the RCMP as undercover officers posing as Islamic extremist sympathizers befriended and worked with the couple, who had recently converted to the Muslim faith.

Having a title does not make a leader. Prime minister, pope, president – all of these positions bring with them a great deal of power and inherent respect, but they do not necessarily grant the title-holder the ability to lead well.
Leadership is not about position, lead-ership is an activity. Being an eff ective leader involves treating people with dignity and respect. It is about being a role model, coach, mentor and serving above self. Strong actions will give people confi dence and encourage them to follow.
I watched the federal election with great interest and I contemplated wheth-er Justin Trudeau was ready or not, and I judged him against other candidates. But as the election campaign carried on, I began to realize the subtle, yet pow-erful leadership attributes in the young Trudeau. He possesses natural leadership
skills that engaged our country in a de-bate about who we are as Canadians and what we represent both domestically and on the international scene. He reminded us of what it means to be Canadian with his eternal optimism about the future, and his charismatic nature inspired our social conscience.
Prime Minister Trudeau, throughout the course of the campaign, did not en-gage in disparaging behaviours towards other candidates. He defended himself when necessary and remained strong when he was subject of personal attacks and ridicule. As the days moved closer to the election, there was a distinct shift in power. Th e results of the election shocked some, elated others and left all Canadians looking to the new Prime Minister to lead us into the future.
In his campaign, the soon-to-be elect-
ed prime minister made strong com-mitments to youth, seniors, veterans, immigrants and refugees, scientists, and to Canadians as a whole. Trudeau was relevant and he was inclusive.
He has offi cially been granted the title of prime minister, but this has not yet made him a successful leader. He will be faced with extremely diffi cult decisions, he will be challenged by international agendas and he will at some point, lead Canada through some form of crises. With the recent events in Paris, that crisis may be upon us now.
As the prime minister establishes himself as our leader, it is my hope that he maintains the core values he espoused during his election campaign. He showed himself to be an ethical man
who values integrity, honesty and trust. He must never forget his roots, be humble and he must listen to others. As he is faced with challenges, we will learn whether he is a leader that will do the right thing and make decisions in the best interest of all Canadians.
In these early days, our prime min-ister has inspired us with his vision of what it means to be Canadian. I believe he has the necessary skills to lead this country, and Canadians have not only put their trust in him, but are looking to him with hope and optimism for the future.

Five hundred more students will be coming to Surrey schools as an expected 1,000 or more Syrian refugees settle here with-in the next few months.
Surrey is expected to take at least one-third of the 3,000 or so refugees expected in B.C. Th e new federal Liberal government is fast-tracking refugee claims to meet its campaign commitment to settle 25,000 Syrian refugees in Canada by the end of the year.
News that Surrey schools will get another 500 students, in ad-dition to the already burgeoning population at schools in many fast-growing areas of Surrey, has caused the school district to take a close look at how it can cope with the added students. While it has many programs to help new students from other countries adjust, including its Welcome Centre, where settlement and multicultural workers help place students in the right settings, district communications manag-er Doug Strachan said it does not have all the resources it needs to take on so many students.
In particular, there will be a need for more language and assessment specialists. Th ere may also be additional transpor-tation costs, as schools that do have room may be some distance from where refugee families will actually be living.
Numerous Surrey schools are already heavily overcrowded. In particular, elementary schools in
three areas of the city have been hit hard with more students than they expected. Th e greatest pressure is in Clayton, Morgan Creek and south Newton – all fast-growing areas with plenty of new housing.
Surrey was expecting an additional 250 students in September. Instead, there were 950 at the doors. Many of these were at schools that already have a signifi cant number of portable classrooms. Surrey is by far the largest school district in the province, with 70,000 students.
Th ere is much that is positive about the infl ux of new students. It is an incredible learning oppor-tunity for current students. Th is, and the ability to help people who have been suff ering while forced to leave their homes, mo-tivates school district staff .
“What they’ve lived through is just incredible and you see them blossom athletically, academ-ically, and really contribute,” Strachan said of refugees.
Surrey has had experience with refugee students before, but not on this scale. In the past – such as when refugees were fl eeing Burma’s civil war about seven years ago – the district welcomed as many as 60 to 80 at one time.
Premier Christy Clark has said the B.C. government will do all it can to help accommo-date the Syrian refugees. Her
government’s commitment to fully participate in this process is laudable. In the case of Surrey School District in particular, the provincial government can show leadership by making more funds available to help students settle in quickly. Th ese funds could be used not just to hire teachers and staff , but also to ease overcrowd-ing at schools.
Th e province could also, in the medium term, take another look at the school district’s capital plan. Given that there were 700 more students than expected in September, and another 500 are coming through the refugee process, the school district needs many more classrooms.
Th e province must be prudent and add space where it will be needed for the long term, so that there aren’t a large number of vacant classrooms in 20 years.
Th e school district has already received approval to build a new high school in Clayton, where the existing high school (and neighbouring Lord Tweedsmuir) are both well past their capacity. Some quick action in making more funds available to build schools and add classrooms would be a tangible way the pro-vincial government can help.

I grew up in Rich-mond in the 1980s and 1990s, the land of farms and ditches, and would have loved to have continued to live there. Unfortunately, with increased hous-ing prices and other massive changes, my husband and I opted to move out a little further and plant our roots in Surrey.
Th is is a decision we do not regret in the least. Surrey has so much to off er and really is the up-and-coming city in British Colum-bia.
However, as we walk through our neighbour-hood it is clear that the city has really dropped the ball. Having grown up in Richmond, I nev-er once saw a drainpipe jet out of the middle of someone’s lawn, I never saw homes being built so close together and in the most absurd places, and I never saw poorly built homes. So poorly built, in fact, that I can see errors that have clearly been overlooked with my own bare eyes.
Th ese cookie-cutter single-family homes, within months of being built, are already eye-
sores and are aestheti-cally ruining neighbour-hoods around Surrey, specifi cally in our Sullivan Heights area.
Th is isn’t something I see from time to time as I walk through our neighbourhood, it is an issue with every single-family home that has been built since we moved into this com-munity more than four years ago.
With Sullivan Heights being the final area in Surrey for large amounts of new development, I shake my head at the fact the city has been so lazy in maintain-ing high building standards for new homes.
If Surrey so des-perately wants to be a destination for future families and a main hub in the Low-er Mainland, why on Earth is it allowing builders to remove old-growth trees and toss up homes (these places are done with-in months of break-ing ground) with no attention to detail or aesthetics?
Stephanie Paukov
We call them barbarians and ourselves civilized. But they know what we will never acknowledge openly and honestly: that barbarism is alive and well in each of us – ready to rise at the fi rst sign of danger to our shores.
Already in Canada there are attacks on Muslims and cries to ban the refugees. Compassion and love are sacrifi ced to hate and mistrust. It’s racism in France on wings to the rest of the world; horror extended beyond their borders to innocents in every country and every camp.
Do you think it coincidence that a passport linking a suicide bomber to the Syrian refugees was left at the scene? Like the guy just forgot to blow it up along with all his other body parts?
Terrorism is not bullets and bombs. It is the ruth-less and systematic injuring of a society by igniting the darkness already in us, and by setting one citizen against another in the hope that we will destroy ourselves and leave the fi eld open. Or at least be too busy to notice the machine guns tiptoeing in.
I’ve heard it said that fear and guilt are the only enemies of humankind. It is not ISIS that needs to be annihilated, but the weakness in our own hearts - our judgments, our prejudices, our persecuted people.
Squashing Al Qaeda merely ushered forth a bigger evil in ISIS. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you and there will be no breeding ground in Canada for radical extremists, Muslim or otherwise.

Police have upped the ante in their hunt for a man wanted for a shooting two months ago.
Crime Stoppers has put up a $5,000 re-ward for information leading to the arrest of Shakiel Basra, who is wanted for attempted murder and discharging a fi rearm in connection with the Sept. 15 shooting in the 7600-block of 124 Street that put one man in hospital and resulted in bullets striking Strawberry Hill Elemen-
tary School and a nearby home.Basra and people believed
connected with him have been linked by police in an ongoing confl ict involving low-level drug
dealers, which has led to dozens of shootings this year.
Basra is described as a 21-year-old South Asian male, 6’3”, 150 lbs., with black hair and brown eyes.
Th ere were initial in-dications that he may have fl ed to Alberta or Saskatchewan, howev-er, his co-accused has since been located and arrested in the Lower Mainland.
“Th is individual has no concern for the safety or lives of
others and should be considered armed and dangerous,” said Sgt. Paul Hayes.

While the Crown argued Nuttall and Korody knew what they were doing and intended to kill or harm hundreds of innocent people, the defence contended the two, who were former heroin addicts living in a Surrey basement suite, were manipulated with money, clothing and spiritual guid-ance.
Bruce said this week the ev-idence supports a conclusion that police helped facilitate the couple’s ability to commit terrorist activity by providing them cash, tools and a hotel room to work from, among other things.
“In my view, the defence
have raised at least a prima facie case that the RCMP officers involved in Project Souvenir were engaged in unlawful acts during the undercover operation,” said Bruce. “Further, it is apparent that they sought legal advice concerning this aspect of their investigation.”
She ordered that Crown dis-close to defence lawyers the le-gal advice that was provided to the RCMP. (The Crown argued, unsuccessfully, the disclosure would violate solicitor-client privilege).
Bruce said a decision on whether to stay the charges can only be made after all the evidence at the entrapment hearing is heard. She said a finding of illegal acts alone
may not be enough to warrant a stay of proceedings.
“However, evidence that the police ignored legal advice or acted contrary to legal advice and, conversely, evidence that the police acted in good faith based on legal advice is relevant to the seriousness of their misconduct, which in turn is relevant to whether a stay of proceedings should be ordered,” she said. “Illegal acts by the RCMP are also relevant to the entrapment claim.”
The judge gave the Crown until today (Friday) to pro-vide the legal opinions, after which she will decide how much of the legal advice pro-vided to the RCMP should be disclosed to defence.

Th e man wanted for the alleged abduction of a Chilliwack woman at a residence in Yar-row about two weeks ago was arrested in Surrey on Tuesday.
Montgomery James Ash, 21, of Surrey, was wanted for break
and enter with intent to commit off ence, assault with a weapon, attempting to choke to overcome resistance, kidnapping, assault causing bodily harm, and uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm.
Th e warrant stemmed from the investigation of a report made to police on Nov. 5 at approximately 4:15 a.m. of a break and enter and abduction at a residence in Yarrow. Police arrived at the
address and located
a male who said he had been assaulted by the suspect, who had forced his way into the home and abduct-ed a female from the house.
Police initiated a multi-jurisdictional search for the missing woman. She was found approximately one hour later in Surrey. Both victims were treated for non-life threatening injuries.
Ash was arrested Nov. 16.

In one month, Surrey RCMP recovered 162 stolen vehicles as part of its Project Hot Wheels initiative.
Spearheaded by the Auto Crime Target Team with assistance from several other units, Project Hot Wheels – intended to make a dent in auto theft crime – took place from Sept. 28 to Oct. 29.
In addition to recovering the stolen vehicles, police
made 16 arrests and laid 59 charges.
One young off ender had more than 150 past inter-actions with police and was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.
Another was found in pos-session of a sizeable amount of herion and metham-phetamine. And two others arrested in a stolen vehicle were on their way to com-mitting an armed robbery.
Offi cers involved also
helped with investigations spanning multiple jurisdic-tions, including executing a search warrant at a known chop shop, arresting a prison escapee and the arrest of fi ve people for crimes spanning the Lower Mainland to Man-ning Park.
If you see a theft of auto or theft from auto in progress, please call 911. If you have information about these or any other crimes, all 604-599-0502.

Surrey RCMP are appealing to the public for help following a pair of thefts in recent months targeting in-dustrial-grade electrical equipment at a Campbell Heights business.
Th e latest occurred Oct. 29, when culprits made off with two trans-formers, one of which weighed 6,350 kilograms (14,000 pounds).
And on Aug. 26, several pieces of
equipment were damaged and valuable internal materials were taken.
Both thefts occurred at a business in the 19700-block of 27 Avenue, and total losses have been estimated at $200,000.
In a news release issued Wednesday, Sgt. Paul Hayes noted the more recent theft took a concerted eff ort.
“Th e two transformers in question are very large and extremely heavy and would have required vehicles with lifting equipment and several persons to complete the theft,” he said.
Anyone with information on the crimes is asked to contact police at 604-599-0502.

In early November 2015, Canada’s ‘Ecofi scal Commission’ issued a 59-page report, We Can’t Get Th ere From Here: Why Pricing Traffi c Congestion is Critical to Beating It, the full text of which is online on www.ecofi scal.ca
Th e Ecofi scal Commission, founded in November 2014 and based at McGill University describes itself as, “a group of experienced, policy-minded economists from across the country, seeking to broaden the discussion of ecofi scal policy reform beyond the academic sphere and into the realm of practical policy application…[and aiming] to serve policy-makers across the political spectrum, at all levels of government.”
Th e term ‘ecofi scal’ describes the policies this commission says it is dedicated to developing policies that simultaneously improve “economic prosperity” and “environmental sustainability.” A basic feature of these policies will be pricing polluting activities to provide incentive for reducing the activity and to raise revenue for innovating and recycling “back into the economy to generate further benefi ts.”
Essentially, the report attempts to defi ne the scope of the problem—the scourge of too costly traffi c congestion (read “traffi c jams”) in economic, social and environmental terms in the four identifi ed Canadian cities suff ering therefrom—namely Metro Vancouver, Calgary, Th e Greater Toronto Area, and Greater Montreal.
Th e report recommends pilot projects for each city necessarily “customized to their local context.” In Ontario, news reports indicated that the provincial Liberal government, whether in response to the commission report or on its own initiative has already formed the intention
to implement a road pricing ‘project’ by year end.
Ontario’s citizenry is thus now on the alert (or should be) that a decision is pending as to “where the … high-occupancy toll [HOT] lanes [will be established] and what the fees will be for using them. Th ese news reports go on to say that the intended new HOT lanes will allow motorists without passengers to pay to use high-occupancy vehicle [HOV] lanes designed to encourage carpooling. In addition this plan will include adding HOV and HOT lanes to new or expanded highways.
For Metro Vancouver, constrained geographically by mountains, the Fraser River and the ocean with “polycentric travel patterns with multiple hubs of activity, and a complex governance structure with involvement from multiple municipalities and the provincial government,” the report recommends applying “variable pricing to each of the region’s bridges and tunnels that cross waterways” as “one way to price access to key driving arteries to reduce regional congestion.” In other word, tolling not just on the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges as currently in place, but on all the bridges and tunnels throughout the region.
Road pricing as a solution for traffi c congestion is not a new idea. Certainly it is highly contentious. Where it has been in eff ect for many years—London, England and Sao Paulo, Brazil for example, studies and anecdote say the deterrent eff ect has worn off .
Negative incentives have a way of generating work-arounds not necessarily in compliance with desired outcomes. In Sao Paulo, for example, where citywide access is based on license plate numbers, most households have suffi cient vehicles with appropriately numbered plates to ensure daily access. Vehicle numbers reportedly are higher than ever.
Whatever the solution might be, traffi c jams are a blight on society, creating stressed and exhausted commuters who get to work with depleted energy and return home at the end of their tether.

“And he was escalating. He was probably going to kill next. “
Th e case is just one example of how eff ective – and import-ant – DNA testing is to modern policing.
Th is week, municipalities learned the province-federal government police funding agreement will see DNA lab costs downloaded to local govern-ments.
For Surrey, that means DNA testing will cost more than $400,000 per year and in Delta, lab costs will run $96,000.
Surrey Coun. Bruce Hayne said it’s another fi nancial hit to a city that just hired 100 new police offi cers.
“So these kinds of additional costs are certainly unwelcome,” said Hayne, who understands the downloading is being initiated by
the federal govern-ment. “Municipalities have never paid for (DNA testing) before, up until this point.”
Surrey has a total annual polic-ing budget of about $120 million. Delta’s annual budget is approximately $34 million.
Hayne equated DNA testing costs to provincial fi refi ghting in that it’s unpredict-able and must be paid for regardless.
“We need to give all the tools necessary to the RCMP to do their job,” Hayne said.
Th e move towards downloading has been in the works for a while.
In February 2014, then Surrey mayor Dianne Watts sent a letter to former Conservative Minis-
ter of Public Safety Steven Blaney asking that he reverse plans to download DNA costs to local govern-ment.
“It is not appropri-ate for Public Safety Canada to make assertions about ser-vice reductions when service delivery is the responsibility of the RCMP and when the Province is constitu-tionally responsible for ensuring ade-quate and eff ective policing,” Watts and Union of B.C. Munic-
ipalities (UBCM)President Rhona Martin wrote to Blaney.
Haynes said the issue will be raised at the UBCM again and will be a subject of regional po-licing talks with Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner.
Connie Waterman, an event organizer from the Bahá’í community, said religions have the ability to foster peace.
“Each one of us has the ability, individually and collectively, to be compassionate, selfless and loving. These attributes are strengthened by religious values taught by all the world’s
great religions,” Waterman said. “Together we can create a better world by
concentrating all the thoughts of our hearts on love and unity, then aligning our actions to reflect that thought.”

Every day for the past two weeks – and for at least a few more to come – volunteers at the Little Campbell Hatchery have been getting a work-out, scooping and counting salmon that are making their instinct-driven sojourn up the river.
Th e bicep-building eff ort has been an annual tradition since 1982, and at the height of the run “there’ll be hundreds a day” through the 1284 184 St. hatch-ery’s fi sh trap, said Bob Donnel-ly, president of the hatchery and Semiahmoo Fish & Game Club.
“Two years ago, one day we had 1,500. When they’re run-ning fast, we have to be here all day long.”
Friday morning, more than 100 salmon were logged, the majority of them coho.
Scooped by net from the steel trap, each fi sh is identifi ed by species, then checked for
clipped fi ns – to determine if they’re wild or hatchery-raised – before being released to con-tinue up the river.
It’s an eff ort that’s repeated every day from about 9 a.m. until 8 p.m. throughout the run.
Donnelly said the resulting statistics have become an im-portant source of information for the fi shery, helping track the populations and determine survival rates, including of hatchery fi sh themselves.
With concerns about the future of salmon in the river running particularly high – as the City of Surrey considers a proposal for a truck park eyed for a site less than three kilometres away – Donnelly is hopeful public awareness of the ongoing eff orts will keep the river’s health at the forefront
of the discussion. It has been a priority for volunteers for 59 years.
Typically, the hatchery raises about 100,000 coho every year, along with thousands more cut-throat, steelhead and chinook.
Returns of the latter were “way down” this year, Donnelly noted. Just 184 chinook were counted last month, compared to 324 last year, and it’s be-lieved the preceding dry spell is to blame.
“Th is year, the river was so low, they were struggling,” Don-nelly said. “We’ve never seen the river that low.”
Donnelly emphasized that eff orts at the hatchery are not intended to replace the wild salmon population, but aug-ment it.
Wednesday, volunteers col-lected fertilized coho eggs for distribution to schools as part of the Salmon in the Classroom program. Students will raise the fi sh and bring the fry for release into the river next spring.
Members of the public inter-ested in seeing the spawning salmon fi rsthand are welcome to drop by the 30-acre property during daylight hours.

A 29-year-old Clover-dale native who sur-vived the battlefi elds of Afghanistan is now in hospital after being hit by a truck on 232 Street last Th ursday evening.
Just before 5 p.m. Nov. 12, newlywed John Lowe was on his
way to visit his grand-mother in Langley in his old pick-up truck – a vehicle that was a re-placement for his other old Dodge, which had recently been stolen.
Th e truck doesn’t have a working gas gauge, so Lowe unwit-tingly ran out of gas while taking the 232 Street exit.
Th ere was a torrential downpour at the time.
According to the gofundme page “John Lowe’s Recovery Fund,” he phoned his dad, Ray, who said he would pick up a gas can and meet him at the truck.
When his dad arrived there was no one at the truck, but he did see a large contingent of emergency vehicles and lights fl ashing closer to the Chevron gas station.
According to Langley RCMP, it appears Lowe was walking to the gas station when he was struck crossing the road.
He was hit by a one-tonne GMC Sierra truck, traveling north on 232 at 72 Avenue.
Th e driver of the truck stopped immedi-ately and tried to help.
Lowe suff ered multi-
ple injuries, including internal bleeding, two breaks in his left arm, several broken ribs, a ruptured spleen and kidney and a bruised aorta.
He also suff ered a concussion.
He underwent sur-gery on the weekend and remains in Royal Columbian’s ICU.
In just a few days, more than $7,000 has been raised for Lowe and his wife Natascha, a young couple who “don’t have a big in-come stream.”
Lowe is a member of, and advocate for,
Wounded Warriors of Canada and has spoken out publicly about his own experience with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and about the culture of silence that exists in the army surrounding the condition.
In 2013 and 2014, he completed the veterans’ Big Bike Ride from Paris to London, raising $4,000 for Wounded Warriors.
His eff orts have been featured in Th e Sur-rey-North Delta Leader and Th e Cloverdale Reporter.
He was born and raised in Cloverdale, and recently moved to Abbotsford.
Lowe and his mother, Shere, were also part of a fund-raiser for Wounded Warriors, put on by Langley Rotary Club last fall.
Police are urging anyone who witnessed last Th ursday’s crash to call them at 604-532-3200.
“At this time, there are no independent witnesses to the collision,” said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Largy.

National leaders in urban development, city planning, health care, fi nance, social in-novation and commu-nity outreach are gath-ering at Surrey City Hall on Tuesday (Nov. 24) to tackle urban is-sues such as economic development, the en-vironment, aff ordable housing, poverty and health and safety.
One of the goals of the inaugural Surrey Social Innovation Summit is to look at how to create bet-ter communication between government, citizens, not-for-profits, academia and business when it comes to finding practical solutions to issues facing modern cities.
Among the panel-ists participating are Hazel Borys and Tonya Surman.
Borys is the manag-ing principal of Place-Makers in Winnipeg and a TEDxManitoba speaker (Confessions of a Former Sprawl Addict).
Surman is a social entrepreneur and the founding CEO of the Centre for Social In-novation, a co-work-ing space, commu-nity and launch pad for people who are changing the world, with three locations in Toronto and one in New York City.

Most unionized provincial employees in health, education and other jobs will get an extra raise of just under one half of one per cent in February.
About 80 per cent of B.C. public sector unions have signed employment contracts under the province’s “economic stability mandate.”
Th at gives them raises of 5.5 per cent over fi ve years, plus a share of economic growth in each year it exceeds the inde-pendent forecast used in the provincial budget.
Statistics Canada has
finalized the growth of the B.C. economy at 3.2 per cent for 2014, substantially more than the finance ministry’s independent forecast council estimate of 2.3 per cent.
Th at triggers the contract provision to increase pay for pro-vincial employees by 0.45 per cent starting in February.
In dollar terms, the fi nance ministry calcu-lates that a grade one medical technologist will see an increase of $300 a year, or $970 over the rest of the contract term. A teacher will get $346 a year, and an education assistant gets $109 a year.
Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the growth of gross domestic product refl ects a strong year for exports and some employment growth in
2014. Business investment
was also up 5.4 per cent last year, and there was a 3.5 per cent increase in household consump-tion spending prov-incewide.
The outlook for the current year does not look as good for additional increas-es, he said, but the agreements are “one way” and there are
no reductions for employees if the economy under-per-forms.
▶ MOST B.C. EMPLOYEES WILL RECEIVE PAY BOOST
Unions get ‘modest’ raises

As it prepares to take part in the latest United Nations conference on climate change in December, the B.C. government is changing legislation to
permit development of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) from its northeast B.C. natu-ral gas deposits.
Natural Gas De-velopment Minister Rich Coleman said the changes will give the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission authority to regulate projects that strip carbon diox-ide from raw gas and inject it back into salt
water formations deep underground.
“Although we’ve had a look at it over the years and have actually had projects that looked like they might go ahead at some point in time, we fi nd that we don’t have the overall regulatory framework to actually allow and be successful with CCS,” Coleman told the legislature
as he introduced the amendments.
One of the changes protects Oil and Gas Commission employ-ees from being named in lawsuits related to their decisions.
In 2008, the B.C. gov-ernment put in $3.4 million towards a $12 million feasibility study at Spectra Energy’s gas processing facilities at Fort Nelson, one of the largest gas plants in North America.
Th e federal govern-ment and the U.S. Department of Energy also helped fund the study.
Initial results showed saline aquifers more than two kilometres deep could act as permanent storage for CO2, but the project has not yet proceeded to construction, and extracted CO2 is still being vented to the atmosphere.
Delta-South MLA Vicki Huntington said CCS is a promising technology, but the gas industry in B.C. is responsible for 15 per cent of the province’s greenhouse gas emis-sions, and venting of CO2 from plants and wells accounts for a quarter of that.
Huntington said the proposed devel-opment of liquefied natural gas exports means more CO2 emissions from gas extraction as well as LNG processing.
Premier Christy Clark and Environment Minister Mary Polak are scheduled to join Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other premiers at the latest climate change summit in Paris in early De-cember.

Westminster Savings Credit Union (West-minster Savings) has announced it will be opening a new corpo-rate centre in Surrey at the Central City Offi ce Tower at 10153 King George Blvd.
Th e new corporate centre, which is antic-ipated to open by the summer of 2016, will bring together employ-ees currently working at the administrative building and corporate centre in New West-minster.
“We’re thrilled to bring our teams to-gether in one central-ized location,” said Gavin Toy, president and CEO of West-minster Savings. “We believe that this will help create a more in-tegrated environment to position our orga-
nization for enhanced success and long-term growth and allow our credit union to provide even greater value for our members.
Th e Westminster Savings Board of Di-rectors and Executive Leadership Team chose the Central City Offi ce Tower, located in the commercial, cultural and social hub of Sur-rey, because it best met the needs of the credit union, members and employees, Toy added.
“Over the last 70 years, we have expand-ed and grown our reach across Metro Vancou-ver and the Fraser Val-ley, including through a signifi cant merger with Maple Ridge Com-munity Credit Union in 1997,” Toy said. “As a result, we believe that Surrey provides a convenient and acces-sible corporate centre location from which to serve our members.”
Surrey’s Central City is a mixed-used devel-opment with an offi ce tower, a shopping mall and a Simon Fraser University campus.

New real estate forecasts predict Lower Mainland housing prices will continue their ascent to new highs over the next two years.
Central 1 Credit Union projects resale median residential prices of Greater Vancouver homes will climb 6.1 per cent in 2016 and 3.8 per cent in 2017.
Senior economist Bryan Yu says detached houses are be-coming “luxury” real estate as “prices that far outpace income aff ordability funda-mentals” increasingly put them out of reach of large portions of the population.
He estimates detached house prices will continue to run up faster – 10 per cent in 2016 and 6.6 per cent in 2017.
Although there may be “some froth” in detached house prices, Yu expects the growing price gap between houses and condos – now at a record $525,000 in Metro – will continue to widen.
Th at widening price gap will be “diffi cult if not
impossible to bridge” for prospective new buyers and recent condo owners and will eff ectively be the new norm.
“In previous years, the housing ladder meant start-ing in a condo and transi-tioning to a detached home,” Yu said. “Th at will no longer be the trend. For most fam-ilies, the housing ladder will lead from one multi-family unit to another.”
Increasingly scarce land is a reality of the region’s geog-raphy that’s hemmed in by the ocean, mountains, U.S. border and the Agricultural Land Reserve, he said.
His report says the trend of double-digit price gains
shows little sign of stopping given a severe shortage of inventory in Metro Van-couver and limited land availability for low-density construction.
“Price momentum has also spilled into the neighbour-ing Fraser Valley area,” Yu said.
Continued record low interest rates and economic and job growth will continue to drive sales and further price momentum in Greater Vancouver through 2016, he added.
Th e B.C. Real Estate Asso-ciation (BCREA) projects the Greater Vancouver market will see a 4.5-per-cent in-crease in the average selling
price for a residential home to $925,000 in 2016.
Th at average, which blends condos, townhomes and detached houses together, is expected to reach $885,000 in 2015, up 8.9 per cent from $812,652 in 2014.
In the Fraser Valley, the average residential price is projected to have climbed 9.7 per cent to $568,000 this year, up from about $518,000 in 2014, and it’s projected to gain four per cent to $591,000 in 2016.
Chilliwack and district prices are estimated by BCREA to be up 6.9 per cent to $330,000 and projected to gain 1.2 per cent in 2016 to $334,000.
Many consumers have been forced to alter their housing expectations, espe-cially near the urban core, the BCREA report says.
It notes City of Vancou-ver detached houses make up just fi ve per cent of the total housing stock in Metro Vancouver and those house prices should not be used as a benchmark for aff ordabili-ty in the region.
And the report argues many detached houses are really in eff ect duplexes, triplexes or fourplexes “as a result of the exploding num-ber of accessory suites.”

Metro Vancouver will begin its standard Stage 1 lawn sprinkling restrictions two weeks earlier next year and they’ll be in place two weeks later into the fall.
Th at three-times-a-week sprinkling limit will apply from May 15 to Oct. 15 in 2016.
It’s hoped the earlier start to sprinkling restrictions will mean more drinking water is retained in the regional district’s reservoirs heading into summer and reduce the amount of time that offi cials might have to impose more stringent water use limits if severe drought strikes again.
“We’re trying to minimize the impact on residents should we have another drought like we did in late spring or early sum-mer,” said Metro util-ities committee chair Darrell Mussatto.
Metro is planning a review of its Water Shortage Response Plan this winter, with public consultations, to help decide what other water policy changes should be made.
It’s weighing whether there should be greater leniency for commer-cial pressure wash-ing operations and for owners of newly seeded lawns, both of which are currently required to halt water use when Stage 3 is reached.
Th e review is expected to lead to some policy amendments in time for the summer of 2016.

As parents, we all want to make sure our kids are well-equipped for their educa-tions, and this means not just clothing and school supplies, but also planning for their post-secondary educations.
Thanks to the government of B.C., parents now have a new tool in their toolkit to start their preparations nice and early: the British Columbia Training and Education Sav-ings Grant, or the BCTESG.
As part of our commitment to building a richer future for youth, earlier this year Coast Capital Savings became one of the first financial institutions in B.C. to offer it.
The BCTESG is a great opportunity to kick-start edu-cation savings.
It’s a one-time $1,200 grant offered by the provincial gov-ernment and deposited into a Central1 Trust RESP account. Like all RESPs, it grows tax-free until your child withdraws the money to put towards
full- or part-time training or education at an accredited post-secondary school or training program.
Setting up the Central1 RESP account and applying for the grant is pretty simple and any of one of our branches are happy to get you started, but there are a few boxes that have to be ticked to confirm who is eligible.
First, there is an age requirement. The child who will be the bene-ficiary of the BCTESG must have been born on or after Jan. 1, 2007.
The application can only be made once the child turns six years old but must be made before that child turns nine.
However, since this is a new program, the government has extend-ed the deadline for application until the day before the child’s ninth birthday or Aug. 14, 2018 – whichever date is later – for children who turned six in 2013, 2014 or 2015.
Second, you have to make sure that the child who will be the beneficiary of the BCTESG already has a RESP account in their name.
If the child doesn’t yet have
one, this is a great motivation to get one started because there are few investments into a child’s future that pack as much punch.
You don’t need a large initial investment to open an RESP account and another govern-ment grant, the Canadian Ed-
ucations Savings Grant (CESG), really makes RESPs worthwhile. The CESG can add an extra 20 per cent to your RESP investments each year to a maximum of $500 annually per child.
Keep in mind though that the BCTESG can’t be used to fund an RESP account and access the CESG using that $1,200 – the BCTESG is a standalone incentive.
It’s in your best interest to make the most of all of the RESP opportunities available to you.
Not only can you tap into the CESG by opening an RESP account, but all the money earned in an RESP is tax-free until the child starts to withdraw it to use for school.

John Gibeau has been re-elected presi-dent of the Cloverdale
Chamber of Com-merce, where four new faces are joining the board of directors.
Jim Heuving (Pacifi c Community Church), Marian Maletta (West-minster Savings), Gary Oliver (Urban Safari Rescue Society) and Tom Taylor (LegalShield and Surrey Little Th e-atre) were elected to the
board at the Chamber’s Annual General Meet-ing, when six positions were up for election late last month.
Th e newbies join returning directors Shell Busey (Shell Busey’s Housesmart Home Services), Roger Doull (Quality Wine Centres), John Gibeau (Honeybee Centre), Tammy Johnson (BMO Bank of Montreal), Brock Lazaruk (Fraser Downs), Nazarene Mo-hammed (BDC), Jeff Richards (J.E. Richards Ltd.) and Baljit Sabhar-wal (Copytek Print Centre) on the board.
Six board members will be serving a one-year term, with the rest serving two-year terms.
On Nov. 3, the board met to choose its executive for the coming term.
Gibeau remains in the position of president, Taylor will serve as vice president, Rich-ards as secretary, and Oliver as treasurer.
Gibeau thanked outgoing board members Jas
Chhina, Sherr-old Haddad and former vice-pres-ident Judy Higginbotham, who narrowly missed winning the seat in South Surrey-White Rock for the fed-eral Liberals on Oct. 19, for their dedication and guidance.
Last month, members approved a change in the term of office for its board of directors allow-ing half of the
board to be elected annually.
In the future, the Chamber will be elect-ing six board members for two year terms each year at the annual general meeting.
Th e changes to the Chamber’s constitution and bylaws are intend-ed to help ensure the organization’s goals and objectives are maintained from year to year.
Th e Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce represents more than 400 member business-es in Surrey’s historic business district.
Gibeau re-elected head of Cloverdale Chamber
▶ APPLICATIONS MUST BE MADE IN PERSON SO IDENTIFICATION CAN BE CHECKED
At that point, only the accumulated interest is taxable as income.
Plus, anyone can contribute to a child’s RESP for birthdays, Christmas or special occasions. It’s a gift that grows along with the child.
Finally, although the child’s parent or guard-ian must live in B.C., you don’t have to be the parent to apply on their behalf.
This means that grandparents, aunts and un-cles, or other loved-ones can help a child take advantage of the BCTESG.
Because only children between the ages of six and nine are eligible, applications must be made in person so that identification can be checked. Before you head to a branch to apply, make sure you have:
• The child’s birth certificate and, if possible, social insurance number.
• Your own social insurance number if you’re applying on a child’s behalf.
The BCTESG is a fantastic new tool to support families in starting to save for their children’s post-secondary education but there’s a lot to think about when planning for your child’s education – it means looking at the big picture.
Now that the kids are settled back into school, I invite you to book an appointment at your nearest Coast Capital branch for a Where You’re At Money Chat to discuss not just how we can help you take advantage of the BCTESG, but what we can do to help you achieve overall financial well-being.
Kathy McGarrigle is Chief Operating Offi cer for Coast Capital Savings (www.coastcapitalsavings.com), Canada’s largest credit union by membership.

Jeff NagelBlack PressThe provincial minister responsible for TransLink says it may be possible to implement a road-pricing system in Metro Vancouver to control traffic congestion without putting it to another referendum.Peter Fassbender was respond-ing to a congestion-pricing report from Canada’s Ecofiscal Commission that urges harmo-nized bridge tolls in Metro as a pilot project ahead of a potential longer-range effort to bring in per-kilometre road-use fees.The report advocates a dynamic pricing model with tolls that differ by time of day to encourage more efficient road use.The aim would not be to raise net new revenue – money gen-erated might instead be used to reduce existing gas taxes.“If it was revenue-neutral and it was not seen as a new tax, then I think there is an option there,” Fassbender said when asked if that scenario might escape the premier’s referendum require-ment.“We have said if it is not a new source of funding or a new tax, then of course it doesn’t need a referendum.”Fassbender qualified his com-ments with a series of cautions, noting any effort at mobility or con-gestion pricing would take many years and be complex.“What form of capture of movement would you have? How would you implement that? What’s the cost of the infra-structure to do that?” he asked. “I’m not sure it’s as simplistic as the report alludes to in doing a pilot project.”He praised the report’s authors as a credible group that included SFU professor and former TransLink board chair Nancy Olewiler.“Do I think it’s worth looking at? Absolutely. Do I say it’s the solution? I’m not in a position to say that yet.”He noted the province is reviewing its tolling policy, which forbids tolls on anything other than new infrastructure and then only if there’s a free alternative. The province wants to see business cases for the new Pattullo and Massey bridges before deciding on any tolling policy change, he said.Fassbender also stressed the region still needs a long-term new
revenue source that is fair and equitable to fund its share of the mayors’ transit expansion vision, as well as future operating costs.Premier Christy Clark last month said road pricing as a new revenue source for Trans-Link would require a referen-dum.Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore also argued that “if it’s just about pricing the road network and not about putting money into TransLink, you wouldn’t need a referendum.”He argues dynamic road pric-ing is more fair than the gas tax, which area mayors have previ-ously said they’d like to partially replace with road pricing.Drivers who only stay on their local community roads still pay gas tax, he said, adding it might be argued that they should only pay for the regional transporta-tion system when they drive
longer distances or contribute to congestion at peak times.“What if you said to the truck-ing industry, ‘You can use the road network for free from midnight to 5 a.m., but if you’re going to use it in peak periods when everybody’s trying to get to work, it’s going to be a lot more expensive?’ “That policy could help shift your peak periods down so you’re getting better use out of your current road network instead of having to build a lot more infrastructure.”Moore acknowledged a reve-nue-neutral road-pricing system wouldn’t solve the problem of where to get new funding for Translink.Any attempt at harmonized tolls would also have to cover the debt repayment costs of the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges.

Th e Holy Cross Crusaders are through to the quarterfi nal round of the B.C. High School Football As-sociation’s Senior AA playoff s.
Th e Surrey school eliminated the Wind-sor Dukes 28-6 in a fi rst-round playoff game last Friday (Nov. 13) in Burnaby.
“Th is was the fi rst playoff game for our Grade 12s and they really stepped up,” said Crusaders head coach Conrad Deugau. “Th is was an important game for them and for us as a whole rebound-ing from last year. Th e goal was simple, ‘get to Monday’ and we ac-complished that goal.”
Holy Cross has to defeat Windsor for a second time this season to advance in postseason play. Th e Crusaders defeated the Dukes 27-6 in a preseason game in North Vancouver on Sept. 18, but despite the similar score, were given a tougher test in the playoff s.
“Windsor is tricky,” said Deugau. “(head coach Jim) Schuman had his boys well coached and they game ready to play. He does a really good job coaching.”
Th e score was 14-6 for Holy Cross at half time, before the Cru-saders scored a pair of unanswered touch-downs over the fi nal two quarters to clinch the win.
Grade 11 running back Paulo Lujan rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown and “just kept plowing away. He was our best player.”
Grade 12 running back Jordan O’Reilly also contributed, scor-ing one touchdown and making “some impact runs when spelling off Paolo. He keeps his feet going and gets those extra yards needed for us to be successful.”
Quarterback Patrick Shoemay and receiver Marcus Browne also scored one touchdown each.
Th e Crusaders will now kick-off against the G.W. Graham Grizzlies of Chilliwack
tomorrow (Saturday) at B.C. Place. Kickoff is at 12:30 p.m.
Th e Grizzlies fi n-ished atop the Eastern Conference standings with a perfect 5-0 (win-loss) record and defeated the South Kamloops Titans 38-21 in their fi rst-round game played in Chilli-wack last week.
Several Crusaders
were voted to Confer-ence All-Star positions after the conclusion of the regular season.
Shoemay was voted the conference’s Off ensive MVP (Most Valuable Player). All-Stars from Holy Cross including Chris Asayo on the off ensive line, Brandon Canuel at wide receiver, Cole Barron and Jacob
Smart at linebacker, and Browne and Lujan at defensive back.
Cole Barron was also
voted the top Grade 11 player in the Southern Conference.
Th e Crusaders were 3-1 in league play, placing second. in-cluding preseason and playoff s, Holy Cross is 7-3.
Two local teams have advanced to the quarterfi nal round of the Junior Varsity playoff s.
Th e Seaquam Sea-hawks, seeded fi fth in the 12-team playoff , blanked the Rutland Voodoo of Kelowna 42-0 in their fi rst-round game on Nov. 12. Th e North Delta school is scheduled to play the fourth-seed Vancouver College Fighting Irish today (Friday) at Vancouver College.
The Lord Tweeds-muir Panthers, the sixth-seed for the playoffs, advanced to the quarterfinal round with a 44-8 romp past the Hand-sworth Royals, also on Nov. 12.
The Panthers played their quarter-final game yesterday against the third-seed Terry Fox Ravens.

One day, Earl Mar-riott Secondary foot-ball coach Michael Mackay-Dunn might finally let it go.
Let go of the call that saw his high-school football career end with a two-point loss instead of a spot in the provincial high-school champi-onship game.
Let go of the friendly grudge he holds against the of-ficial who blew that whistle on a play now decades old.
Yes, one day he might let it go. Today is not that day.
Mackay-Dunn, the 63-year-old longtime coach of the Earl Marriott Mariners’ football program, is sitting in his class-room, detailing for a listener exactly what happened all those years ago.
It was the 1969 provincial semifi-nals, and Vancouver College – Mack-ay-Dunn’s school – trailed Maple Ridge 16-14 late in the fourth quarter.
Maple Ridge kicked the ball off, and Vancouver’s returner caught it and weaved up field, eluding tacklers en route to what would have been a game-winning touchdown.
“We ran a reverse – the same kind of return we run here now (at EMS) – and our guy went all the way. I was about 30 yards away from the ball and some guy hit me from behind, but I got called for roughing.
“The play got called back, and we lost by two. I’m still trying to figure it out.”
The official who made the call was Matt Phillips, a South Surrey res-ident who now, at 83, stands next to Mackay-Dunn on the Earl Marriott side-lines as a volunteer assistant coach, the latest coaching stop for the well-travelled football lifer who has been involved in the game for so long – as a coach and official – that his bio
on the B.C. Football Officials Association states that “Matt, seemingly, has coached football in B.C. forever.”
“That call is still clear as a bell. I’ll never forget it. That was my last high-school game,” Mack-ay-Dunn continues,
with a laugh. “But I don’t bug him about it too much any-more.”
Phillips, who lives just a short drive
from school, is in his first year as a coach with the Mariners, volunteering to come aboard this summer after spending much
of the last season watching the team’s home games from the bleachers.
“Afterward, he’d call me up and give me his observa-tions and thoughts, whether I wanted the information or not,” Mackay-Dunn laughed.
“But he’s been great to have on our staff. He’s an excellent coach, and he’s a great backboard to bounce ideas off of,
and you find yourself having some great discussions about football.”
Phillips’ official title with the pro-gram is special-teams coach, and when asked, tends to downplay his contri-butions to the team, which plays in B.C.’s AA Tier 2 conference and is currently in first place.

“I don’t do much, and I try not to butt in too much with what the other coaches are doing, but I think I can help,” he said.
“I’m not here because I’m a pretty face – there’s never a situation we run into during a game that I haven’t seen before,
somewhere.”Phillips, who was
born in New West-minster, has been around the game since the 1940s, when he took up the sport as a high schooler at Toron-to’s Upper Canada College – the private boarding school he was sent to after, in his own words, “I got into a very comfort-able groove doing as
little as possible.”From there, Phillips
moved on to college, playing at George Pepperdine College in Los Angeles – now known as Pepperdine University – where he also got his degree in physical educa-tion.
Before turning to coaching, Phillips had a short play-ing career – “If you can call it that,” he
quipped – in the Canadian Football League, as a tackle with the BC Lions.
But the experience was marred by inju-ries.
After knee surgery in June 1957, Phil-lips returned to the field just a month later once he was “pronounced fit to play.”
“Really, I was fit to limp, is all I was. So I limped around practice for a year, got into a couple, three games. But ev-
ery time I got in, I’d end up at the bottom of a pile with some-body lying on my bad knee,” he explained. “Every time I got on the field, I ended up getting carried off.”
After that, Phillips began a long career as a teacher, while also coaching and officiating. The list of schools at which he’s coached is long enough that it’s
tough to remember in full, but includes Vancouver’s Lord Byng Secondary and Cambie Junior High; Richmond’s London Junior and Steveston Second-ary; North Delta, Montgomery Junior High in Coquitlam, and Clovedale’s Lord Tweedsmuir, the lat-ter program started by Phillips in the mid 2000s.
“I wrote ‘em all down one time, but I can’t remember now,” he said, while on the sidelines of an EMS practice last week. “I lost count, but it’s at least 52 years of coaching.”
Phillips says the game today is almost unrecognizable from the one he grew up with – the players are bigger, faster and stronger, and the game plans are much more advanced.
“In the ‘60s, we’d just get the ball in the middle of the field and bash away at each other,” he said.
“We are doing things in Grade 8 now that we would’ve maybe, maybe, thought about doing at the senior level back then.”
But though the game has changed on the field, his love for the sport has never wavered – it’s why he continues to volun-teer his time coach-ing young kids who are young enough to be his great-grand-children.
“I think kids can learn a lot about life from athletics… and I can still relate to the kids. The ones I can’t relate to are the ones who don’t want to work hard, who don’t want to listen,” he explained. “Coaching does takes a lot of time and effort, but it keeps you out of trouble.”
Mackay-Dunn finds an even simpler way to explain his colleague’s continued dedication to local football.
“This is who he is.”Phillips, mean-
while, said he’ll be happy to stay on the sidelines as long as the team will have him – even if a 46-year-old roughing call is brought up from time to time.
“I can’t remember now exactly what Mike did wrong, but I’m sure I was right to call him on it.”

A White Rock ceramic artist is among those highlighted in this year’s 19th annual Eastside Culture Crawl, which opens doors to studios, homes and garages – wherever art is made – this week.
James Kemp, a ceramics teacher at the Surrey Art Gallery, will be open-ing his space at the Acme Studio at Hastings and Columbia in Vancouver to public scrutiny, showing not only his conceptual sculptural pieces (as highlighted by his Morphology se-ries) but also a range of functional – and more aff ordable – ceramic ware.
Known for using odd and unex-pected materials in his work, Kemp – currently represented by Vancouver’s Robert Lynds Gallery in False Creek – is making an international name for himself as an experimentalist artist pushing the limits of conventional ceramics work.
Th at’s especially true with his larger, unusually-textured and thought-provoking pieces such as the Morphology series – showcased at
the Museum of Modern Ceramic Art at Gifu, Japan in which rounded or-ganic-seeming forms are contrasted with more geometric shapes redolent of twisting staircases.
“Th ey defi nitely ‘get’ this kind of work in Japan – they’re more open to mixed media in ceramics than here and also in the States,” said Kemp who also recently had a year-long stint as an artist-in-residence at Port Moody Arts Centre.
“Depending on what people are more accepting of, pre-determines where I can send my work. I’m still working around restric-tions.”
Driftwood, Styrofoam, nylon, Plexiglas, steel and concrete have all played a part in his works, he ac-knowledges, challenging conventional defi nitions of ceramic practice.
Born in Etobicoke, Ont., he moved to White Rock as a toddler. With parents both in the teaching profession, Kemp, an Elgin Park Secondary grad (class of 2000), was a surprisingly late arrival to the ranks of career artists.
“When I was in high school at Elgin I spent most of my time at home either drawing or playing basketball,” he admitted. “I really didn’t want to take art at school, but I took drama instead with Stan Engstrom.”
It was good for his social life, he added.
“Drama was nice be-
cause it was where kids of all grades would end up – it gave you the free-dom to develop as a person.”
But it wasn’t until he was a psychol-ogy undergrad at Kwantlen Polytech-nic University that he discovered his love for ceramics, he said.
“I was trying to get into sculpture, but I was only able to get into ceram-ics – so I started making sculptures in ceramics,” he said.
Th ere was an “aha” moment for him in the course, he recalled.
“I was working on this piece at home – a self-portrait with a bird fl y-ing out of me – and when I brought it to school the teacher thought I’d cast my face.
“It was kind of a compliment, really that he thought I’d cast my face instead of sculpting it. I knew right then that I loved doing the work, and that I defi -nitely had some kind of natural ability at it.”
Kemp did fi nish his bachelors psy-chology degree, but moved on to take a BFA at Emily Carr with the urging of his Kwantlen professor, Kent Anderson.
He acknowledges he chafed a little at the strictures of the curriculum while fi nding his own individual mode of expression.
“It was in my last year at Emily Carr that I hit the nail on the head,” he said. “I got tired of the constraints and did what I wanted to do – ex-haustion gave me the courage.”
Six years ago he joined the Fraser Valley Potters Guild, winning Peo-ple’s Choice and Best Amateur Ce-ramic Artist honours in group shows.
Subsequently he continued his training at community centres, and working as an apprentice with artists David Robinson and Liz Magor.
Kemp said that he likes working with pieces – as in the Morphology series – that may use unnatural, man-made elements such as Styro-foam and steel and yet create from them natural-seeming shapes and textures.
For him, he said, it’s part of a fascination with a “false dichotomy in which the human seems separate from nature.
“And yet we are nature,” he said, adding that pervasive conditioning
to desire manufac-tured goods is “a major culprit in the destruction of our ecosystem.”
Th e aesthetic seeds of such work, however, he traces to discovering a piece of metal as a boy, while walking on the beach from White
Rock to Crescent Beach. “Somebody must have been
pouring metal on the beach and it had taken on the undulating, pitted, natural texture of the sand. Half-an-hour’s walk away I found another similar piece and it was only much later that I found out that both piec-es fi t together.
“For me, it was ‘how can I create this texture?’,” he said.

JENNIFER LANG
It seems unimag-inable – a 15-year-old girl with a promising future as a dancer, struck by illness and then a debilitating
stroke.Now family, friends
and dance colleagues are rallying around the Sullivan Second-ary student, who dreamed of becoming
a professional ballet dancer but is now fighting to recover, hoping to walk and dance again.
Until a health crisis intervened this
spring, Emma Salis-bury was well on her way to realizing her dreams.
A dedicated and hard-working student of ballet at Panora-
ma School of Dance, Salisbury had graced the stage as Clara in The Nutcracker with the Royal City Youth Ballet, and starred as Elsa in the school’s production of Frozen.
Her talent had taken her to Toronto to study, and she was set to attend Arts Umbrella this year,
according to family friend Kelly Ewing, who has set up an online fundraising account for Salisbury.
A health crisis struck out of nowhere the end of the past school year, when she became unexpectedly and gravely ill, devel-oping kidney failure.
Salisbury was diag-nosed with lupus, and began chemotherapy – a course of treatment it was hoped would suppress the autoim-mune disease.
She suffered a stroke following her first treatment, re-sulting in paralysis on her left side, leaving her unable to walk, or swallow on her own.
She spent the sum-mer in ICU at B.C. Children’s Hospital – her parents Caitlin and Derek at her side.
“They have been tirelessly advocat-ing for Emma and researching to get Emma the best rehab possible in a system that is strapped,” writes Ewing.
The teen is now undergoing outpa-tient rehab therapy using a state-of-the-art technology called Myndtec.
Treatments cost more than $4,000 and aren’t covered by the Medical Services Plan.
Donations to her treatment can be made at The Emma Salisbury: Dance Again campaign on GoFundMe.com. It has so far raised more than $22,000 of the $40,000 goal.
