Taxpayer group accuses rival group of too-cozy relationship with developers
Conflict of interest accusation leveled in bond campaign
A taxpayer-watchdog group is accusing the larger San Diego County Taxpayers Association of having a too-cozy relationship with builders, and saying that may have influenced the association's recent endorsement of two North County school bond measures.
"The true stink of the whole thing is the San Diego County Taxpayers Association has people, voting members of their board, who have contributed heavily to these campaigns," said Gary Gonsalves, co-founder of Stop Taxing Us, which formed in 2007.
"If that's not a conflict of interest, I don't know what is," he said about the idea that builders might support bond initiatives because such measures can funnel millions of dollars into the local construction industry.
Chris Cate, vice president of the San Diego County Taxpayers Association, said Gonsalves' accusation is unfounded.
"The Taxpayers Association has been serving taxpayers within the region for 67 years, and our record stands for itself," Cate said. "Any effort to smear our integrity over accusations that our positions can be bought is laughable at best."
Cate said no voting board member had a contract with North County districts for projects that would be funded with bond money, and the number of members who did donate to campaigns was a small fraction of the board.
"We need 60 percent of voting members to take a position on a ballot measure," he said. "Mr. Gonsalves contends that because a couple of board members happen to be in the business of school construction, they can sway the other board members. And that's just not accurate."
Recent financial disclosure forms filed with the County Registrar of Voters reveal that developers have contributed tens of thousands of dollars to campaigns for general obligation bond measures that would fund facility improvements to local schools and college campuses.
The San Diego Taxpayers Association has endorsed MiraCosta Community College District's Proposition EE for $497 million in bonds and San Dieguito Union High School District's Proposition AA for $449 million in bonds.
Gonsalves said the recently filed financial disclosure forms, which were due in the County Registrar of Voters office last Friday, also show a connection between the bond campaigns and the taxpayers association.
He noted that Prop. EE treasurer C. April Boling, a certified public accountant, also is on the executive committee of the San Diego Taxpayers Association.
Among the association's 58 voting board members, two are associated with companies that donated money to the committee campaigning for Prop. EE.
The MiraCosta bond campaign received $2,500 from builder Cumming Corp. and $16,000 from the construction company Gafcon Inc.
Three of the association's voting members are associated with companies that donated to the San Dieguito campaign.
Balfour Beatty Construction contributed $11,000 to the Prop. AA campaign, Erickson-Hall Construction contributed $15,000 and Pardee Homes contributed $3,000.
Elsewhere in the county, the taxpayers association also endorsed Proposition E, a $90 million school bond measure in the Chula Vista Elementary School District; Proposition G, a $30.8 million bond measure in the Mountain Empire Unified School District; Proposition R, a $66 million bond measure in the Ramona Unified School District; and Proposition V, a $398 million bond measure in the Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District.
In an email Tuesday, Gonsalves said the taxpayers association is a business organization that has many voting members in the construction industry. "Therefore we conclude that when their board supports a bond, they are basically supporting a massive wealth transfer from you to the construction industry," he said.
Cate countered Gonsalves' argument by saying the association is opposing some school bonds on the Nov. 6 ballot.
It opposes San Diego Unified's $2.8 billion Proposition Z bond initiative and Del Mar Union School District's $76.8 million Proposition CC bond initiative.

About this work
'Hubby' appears in many of Sickert's compositions at this time, his solid and portly frame dominating the character of these works. Sickert first employed him as an odd-job man in 1911 but he soon became one of the artist's favoured models and Sickert enjoyed Hubby's colourful personality. This sketch is related to a painting in which a female figure appears on the iron bed in the background. Here, her cropped outline can be seen on the right-hand side of the sheet.

Since 2006, The Olympic Symphonium have been creating contemplative, moody music and making audiences croon to their beautiful harmonies, lush soundscapes, and to ponder their poignant lyrics.
On their fourth album, Chance To Fate, the band further establish themselves as a unique voice in Canada's contemporary music landscape. Putting aside themes of love in favour of heavier topics, the band ruminates on life, loss, religion, and self-doubt with this new material.
The album was recorded at the legendary, and possibly haunted, Salty Towers Inn in seaside St.Andrews, New Brunswick over four days with longtime engineer Brad Perry. Produced by ambient/electronic artist/drummer/producer Joshua Van Tassel (Great Lake Swimmers, David Myles, Megan Bonnell), these sessions mark the first time The Olympic Symphonium have invited outside voices into the creative process. Aside from the unique production, Chance To Fate sees a song (No Saving Grace) written/sung by lap-steel player Dennis Goodwin and another (All In Your Head) co-written by Fredericton poet Christopher Goodwin. The results are striking and sit perfectly alongside the rotating vocals/guitars/bass/piano by core members Nick Cobham, Kyle Cunjak, and Graeme Walker.
Though the band has toured Europe several times, performed at world-renowned events (the Olympic Winter Games, Pop Montreal, and Liverpool Sound City to name a few), and joined forces with an international label, the past couple years have been spent concentrating on their home province of New Brunswick. Specifically, the band has been developing the highly successful Shivering Songs winter festival they curate which recently finishing up its fifth year, attracting 3000 attendees.The band is managed by, and signed to, the award-winning Nova Scotia based record label Forward Music Group. More recently, Chance To Fate won 'Anglophone Recording of the Year' at the 2014 Music New Brunswick awards and is currently nominated for 'Album of the Year' at the East Coast Music Awards which will be taking place in St. John's, NL in April, 2015.

Creston Man Pleads Guilty to Bankruptcy Fraud
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A Creston man has pleaded guilty to a federal charge of bankruptcy fraud and faces up to five years in prison when he's sentenced this summer. U.S. Attorney Deb Gilg says 57-year-old Ross Boydston pleaded guilty Tuesday. Gilg says Boydston sold livestock which had been pledged as collateral to American Mortgage Company without notifying the company of the sales and without remitting the proceeds to AMC. Gilg says Boydston also lied about the sales after filing for bankruptcy. Boydston is set to be sentenced on June 24.

Science - Creationism: a 'very real threat' in schools
Ban 'indoctrination' and focus on the evidence, campaigners urge
New laws are needed in the UK to crack down on the teaching of creationism as an alternative to evolution in private faith schools, the president of the Association for Science Education (ASE) has warned.
Regulations that ban the teaching of creationism during science lessons in state schools must be extended to the independent sector to stop the "indoctrination" of children, according to Alice Roberts, presenter of BBC programme The Incredible Human Journey and professor of public engagement in science at the University of Birmingham in England.
The comments by Professor Roberts, who began her term as ASE president this month, are part of a growing fight against creationist teaching and "science deniers" on both sides of the Atlantic. The National Center for Science Education (NCSE), a US not-for-profit group, has also highlighted the challenges it faces to keep evolution and climate science on the curriculum.
From this September, children in England will be explicitly taught evolution from primary school onwards as part of the redrafted science curriculum. But Professor Roberts said that too many young people were still at risk of being "indoctrinated" by religious organisations.
"There should be regulation that prevents all schools, not just state schools, from teaching creationism because it is indoctrination, it is planting ideas into children's heads," she told TES. "We should be teaching children to be much more open-minded.
"People who believe in creationism say that by teaching evolution you are indoctrinating them with science, but I just don't agree with that. Science is about questioning things. It's about teaching people to say, 'I don't believe it until we have very strong evidence.'"
Graham Coyle from the Christian Schools' Trust (CST), a network of 38 private religious schools, said that teaching creationism alongside evolution in science was common in his organisation's schools, but insisted that it did not amount to indoctrination.
He added that he would be "very surprised" to find that a CST school was not offering alternative scientific points of view to creationism, although he admitted that he could not say with "hand on heart" that it did not happen.
"There are schools [in the CST] with a strong sympathy to a Young Earth, six-day creation, but the way they conduct themselves appears to be entirely correct, in that they are teaching in a balanced way," Mr Coyle said. "There are people who would outlaw the discussion of creationism but that is a very dangerous position to adopt. Indoctrination is a misused word - it really means a point of view without any opportunity for discussion."
Existing inspection systems should be enough to ensure that schools are not taking an "extremist" point of view, he added.
Paul Medlock, headteacher of Maranatha Christian School near Swindon, also said that it was wrong not to have a debate about evolution. His school follows the Accelerated Christian Education curriculum, which has been criticised for its creationist perspective.
"The general trend of education is towards letting children choose. Closing down the options and saying there's only one thing - evolution - is a form of extremism in itself," he said.
But Richy Thompson, campaigns officer at the British Humanist Association, said that teaching creationism in science was the same as a geography teacher "telling their students the world was flat".
"We don't want to see any children being taught creationism for the simple reason that it's not true," Mr Thompson said. "The scientific consensus is overwhelming and the evidence is overwhelming in supporting the theory of evolution."
Meanwhile, Ann Reid, executive director of the NCSE in the US, described the anti-science lobby as a "very real threat".
Legislation has already been passed in Louisiana and Tennessee that allows creationism to be taught as a "critique" of evolution. More opposition is expected after the adoption of the Next Generation Science Standards, which aim to standardise the teaching of science across the country.
"Part of the challenge with evolution and creationism is that the public has come to see evolution through the lens of religious conflict, with a significant number believing they must choose between evolution and religious faith," Ms Reid said. "The same dynamic could be developing around climate change.
"The aim of science deniers is to make these topics seem scientifically controversial, and therefore intimidate teachers from covering those topics."
Controversy has surrounded a number of applications by Christian groups in England to run free schools, which are state-funded but autonomous.
These include Grindon Hall Christian School in Sunderland, a private school that became a free school last September. It drew criticism for previously appearing to support the teaching of creationism in science lessons.
The school insists that it teaches evolution in science and is planning to open a second school because of high parental demand.

How can they possibly teach 'in a balanced way' that Earth is only 6,000 years old?
This is sophistry bordering on mendacity.
I guess I must reluctantly concede that it is the prerogative of parents to inculcate a Dark Ages mindset in their kids but it is utterly wrong for the state to collude by funding such willful ignorance.
Accelerated Christian Education does not let the students choose for themselves. The way in which evolution is presented is nothing but a caricature with warped "facts" and misleading descriptions.
The A.C.E. books employ just about every logical fallacy to indoctrinate impressionable minds with creationism.
Should we also still debate the theory of gravity and allow children to walk out of fifth floor windows to check out the alternative?
Creationism belongs in a religious education class, not a science class.
Personally I think we should teach intelligent falling http://www.theonion.com/articles/evangelical-scientists-refute-gravity-with-new-int,1778/ and we should never forget the great debate about whether Flying Spaghetti Monster (Sauce be upon Him) or the Holy Marmalade Man is the root of all Quantum Uncertainty. In the modern world of wordy processors and I-thingies it is nothing short of a scandal that our children's scientific education should be marred by such egregious omissions.
Evolution is as much a religion as creationism.. both take faith, evolution cannot be supported by hard evidence (probably because it doesnt happen)
Succeeding generations of living organisms undergo physical changes. This is a fact and it is called evolution. Darwin proposed a scientific theory to account for these changes. So far, as a scientific theory, it remains valid.
There seems to be a misconception that Darwin's Theory of the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (as opposed to artificial selection by botanists, animal breeders etc) attempts to explain the origins of the universe, Earth and the life thereon . It does no such thing. The Theory of Evolution takes phenomena which can be observed and measured and, as with all sciences, seeks understanding and testability. There is nothing metaphysical here. The Theory of Evolution is not, repeat not, a religion.
Wouldn't it be nice if Mr Graham Coyle from the Christian Schools' Trust (CST), a network of 38 private religious schools, showed the courage to pop his head over the parapet and explain on here how it is possible to teach children 'in a balanced way' that our planet is only 6,000 years old.
It is unfortunate that Alice Roberts has added her voice to the campaigning of the British Humanist Association. The arguments are invariably based on prejudice, not on the evidence of what actually is being taught and what are the educational outcomes.
To give an idea of what I mean, here are some paragraphs from my feedback to the DfE on the "Draft National Curriculum for science". I am concerned about brainwashing and indoctrination in what is being proposed. For those who need the detail, this relates to Paragraph 149: "Pupils should be taught to explain how the human skeleton has changed over time, since we separated from other primates, and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of being on two feet rather than four." Here are my comments as submitted to the DfE:
The proposed explanation of human skeletal changes takes pupils outside the domain of empirical science. Whatever hypotheses are considered, they cannot be tested by experimental methods. Before this topic can be satisfactorily addressed, students need to be equipped with skills associated with historical science. Without getting to grips with methodology, pupils are in danger of being brainwashed rather than developing a scientific mind.
Paragraph 152 has: "Pupils can apply their knowledge and skills by: recording the evolutionary progression of the human skeleton e.g. through drawings, charts, displays, and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of being on two feet rather than four."
Surely those preparing this text are aware of the controversies around the phrase "evolutionary progression"? Evolutionary theorists do not use the word "progress", because it has cultural overtones of direction and goal. These theorists would expect the phrase to be something like "evolutionary transformation".
The "evidence" that would have to be used to respond to this part of the curriculum would have to be supplied as drawings and charts. Pupils have no means of checking the content. They are being forced outside the realm of empirical science without realising what is happening. This is how brainwashing is implemented.
There is no problem with discussing "the advantages and disadvantages of being on two feet rather than four." But this does not need an evolutionary context to be meaningful. A design perspective can handle this well, and allow the pupils to appreciate why the body has so many features relevant to bipedalism.
Richy Thompson of the BHA appeals to consensus: "The scientific consensus is overwhelming and the evidence is overwhelming in supporting the theory of evolution." The appeal to consensus is not an argument scientists should ever use, because any consensus changes with time. If the argument from evidence is so overwhelming, why is the BHA so opposed to allowing the evidence to be interrogated in a critical manner? And which "theory of evolution" does it support? There are plenty of examples of scientists who realise that Darwinism does not deliver mechanisms that can build biological complexity and who are looking for new theory. Why should students not be exposed to these issues? The new National Curriculum never gets beyond Darwinism - which is why I gave this feedback to the DfE on the word "adaptation":
". . pupils should be aware that Darwin's work on adaptation is being increasingly questioned and relegated to a marginal status. But these students are not yet equipped for handling such issues. Why should they be taught "adaptation" as an explanation of origins when they will later have to unlearn this and realise it relates only to the ecology of animals and plants?"
Darwin did not know much about DNA.
It is called the THEORY of evolution not the FACT of evolution. I believe both THEORIES should be taught an children should be informed that neither has been proven conclusively.
For those who liken debates about evolution to the "theory" of gravity:
Gravity is something which can be tested by a process of repeat experiments; something science like to do in order to know that something is not just a one-off fluke. Each experiment can yield very similar results, hence the theory stands and is concluded to be fact.
Evolution is a theory to explain the past. Unless a person can travel back in time to observe the past, it is impossible to say for certain what actually happened. All that can proved is what happens from the time data is first recorded (within the last few centuries) up to the present time. Even if the theory were to be extended into the future, it would still remain speculation and would require the passage of time to prove the theory.
It surprises me that scientists are so quick to dismiss everything except the latest "theory" (unproved), thereby ignoring the scientific testing methods they purport to be best.
From a mathematical standpoint, when it comes to evolution, scientists take data collected from just a few hundred years and use it to predict what has happened over the last tens of millions of years. In other words, they use 0.001% of possible history to detail the other 99.999%.
I'm not wishing to get into the whole debate here, and I'm not really fussed whether people believe in creation or evolution (I grew up in a school where creation wasn't taught in any lesson). But I would like to see a little less scientific hypocrisy in the debate.
Atheists are using schools to indoctrinate society, putting it forward as "free thinking." Atheists comprise less than 3% of the world's population. The other 97+% of the population believes in some sort of supernatural power or spirituality. The scientific method is not suitable to test spirituality as it is a process for purely biological, physical or chemical testing. Therefore science is not a suitable excuse to write off spirituality or the supernatural.
Therefore, science needs to be taught in schools, but there also needs to be teaching on the limits of scientific testing. Similarly, religion lessons should focus on questions like "Does God exist?" or "Do miracles happen?" etc. where by the very existence of the supernatural is questioned, but should rather focus on understanding the worldview of religions and faiths. Just as science will expose pupils to environments which support the scientific outcomes (various experiements, apparatus, methods etc), perhaps RE lessons should also endeavour to expose pupils to environments which support religious viewpoints. (And I'm not just talking about your local dying Anglican church building, I mean events which advertise healings and miracles.)
Just a thought.
So....many...morons...on this thread
If I see the argument that it is only a theory one more time I will beat that person to death with a thesaurus.
The meaning of theory in science has a much more precise and technical definition than common parlance.
Evolution can be tested. Has been tested. Has been proven. Experiments on living things with short generation times have demonstrate evolution:the change, over generational time of one group of organisms, to another that cannot interbreed with the original group to create fertile offspring.
My yr 9 students know this.
And no. Don't say 'I've never seen a dog turn into a cat'
That is a lazy argument that shows complete ignorance of the facts.
I do hope that some of the posters here are not teachers, or I charge of the education of children. The misuse of the word theory in a scientific context is a real bugbear. A theory is a model used to explain observations. Evolution is an observable fact. The theory of Natural selection can explain that fact. It has been tested by many different methods, and always holds up. It has therefore earned the name Theory.
Why are people trying to bring atheism into this. I know many Christians (although they are in the minority of my age group and profession) yet I know none personally who doubt the fact of evolution. Those who show fear of science due to their religious beliefs do their religion no favours.
cymraeg_bachgen (5 Feb): "Evolution can be tested. Has been tested. Has been proven. Experiments on living things with short generation times have demonstrate evolution:the change, over generational time of one group of organisms, to another that cannot interbreed with the original group to create fertile offspring."
Experimental evolution does show change. If this is what "evolution" means - let's stick to this meaning. It is much more difficult to demonstrate experimentally a group of descendants that cannot interbreed with the original group. The pervasive nature of hybridisation also puts question marks over Mayr's biological species concept. There are real problems extending evolution based on experimentally-observed variations to evolution meaning "the origin of species from an ancestral cell". Yet this conceptual leap in the meaning of the word is routinely made in educational contexts. It is bad educational practice, because students will need to unlearn what they have been told.
The stance taken by Stephen Jay Gould is still valid: "Darwin's vision may prevail in the here and now of immediate adaptive struggles. But if we cannot extend the small changes thereby produced into the grandeur of geological time to yield the full tree of life, then Darwin's domain is a limited corner of evolutionary explanation. [. . .] The Darwinian struggle does not extrapolate to the tree of life." (Gould S.J., "The Confusion over Evolution," The New York Review of Books, Vol. 39, No. 19, November 19, 1992, pp.47 54, pp.52 54)
Failure to use the word "evolution" with precision is intellectually lazy and not in the interest of science. The BHA is quoted as saying: ""We don't want to see any children being taught creationism for the simple reason that it's not true." I think that "We don't want to see any children being taught Darwinism for the simple reason that it's not true". What I am seeking is a critical evaluation of evidences pertaining to origins, and any rational and coherent theory about origins should be tested by reference to evidences. That, to me, is what the scientific method requires us to do.
To 'bibleistrue' and DavidJTyler - Your statements are typical religious canards - without foundation! Evolution works perfectly and the universe is natural with no supernatural intervention. There is no god, no heaven, no hell. Religion is poison and kids can do without your nonsense polluting their tiny minds. Keep creationism out of the science class!

Oh, wow. There's a very opinionated and unjustified paragraph!!
"Those who show fear of science due to their religious beliefs do their religion no favours."
Be careful, you're almost into the realm of saying, "Religious people know nothing of science." I know that's not quite what you're saying, but you're close.
I love science, and I think it has done many great things for the human race. But I am a mathematician. I find it very hard to accept a formula (that's me avoiding the word "theory"!) which is based on "the best conclusion for the given evidence." I can accept it as "a possible formula" but I would need much better evidence than that. Unfortunately no one can prove beyond doubt that humans evolved from a different species.
I once calculated mathematically that the percentage error needed between the dinosaurs living 60 million years ago and 6,000 years ago was just 8%. I know that might seem like quite a big margin for error, but given the sizes of samples being tested, the randomness of decay rates, and the number of particles actually present in the material, 1 or 2% error would not seem to be unreasonable..... unless, of course, you trust in the inerrancy of the measuring equipment and the complete accuracy of a material's half-life.
(Using carbon-14 as an example, its half life is calculated to be 5,730 years. Considering the equipment to measure it has only been around for 1-3% of that time, and also considering the randomness of carbon-14 decay, precision is surely difficult to come by. Note: I am aware that the dinosaurs were not calculated using carbon-14 dating!)
Just some thoughts. I would just hate for people to say, "This must be fact, it must be taught everywhere!" and then a few years down the line, to say, "Oh wait, we made a slight error..." which is what seems to happen in the farming industry (according to a university agricultural student, on the subject of the use of various pesticides and use of GM-ing).

During flood events, PUB will respond to public requests for assistance to pump out floodwater. PUB also provides technical advice to residents and building owners on installing permanent flood protection measures and conducts regular briefings on completed and upcoming drainage works. Residents can also contact appointed PUB staff should they require any assistance or information.

It might not be feasible to install drainage pumps in many of the low-lying areas as land has to be set aside to build a pumping station but is hard to obtain in land-scarce Singapore.
Inform PUB by calling our 24-hr Call Centre at 1800-CALL-PUB (1800-2255 782). House owners can also consider installing a one-way valve at the last inspection chamber which will close to stop the accidental backflow of used water from the public sewer into the sanitary drainage system and hence prevent the overflowing at the floor trap.
Flash floods can occur due to a combination of factors such as:
While flooding cannot be completely prevented, it can be alleviated with continual drainage improvement. Widening and deepening of drains and canals, and road raising are some ways of improving drainage.
In low-lying areas, however, drainage improvement projects are effective only if the surrounding ground level is also raised. Such projects will be carried out when the area is redeveloped. For existing older roads which are relatively low-lying and flood-prone, the road levels would be raised either in conjunction with drainage upgrading works or LTA's road upgrading works as part of PUB's plan to reduce flood-prone areas wherever possible.
The Marina Barrage is a dam built across the Marina Channel to keep seawater out. It is part of a comprehensive flood control scheme to alleviate flooding in the low-lying areas in the city such as Chinatown, Boat Quay, Jalan Besar and Geylang. During heavy rain and low sea tide, the crest gates at the dam will be activated to release excess storm water into the sea. When the sea tide is high, giant pumps that are capable of pumping an Olympic-size swimming pool per minute, will drain excess storm water into the sea.

Prior to any new land development or before construction begins in any area, PUB works together with agencies such as URA, HDB, LTA and JTC to map out necessary drainage measures.
PUB has a Flood Management Strategy to manage flood risks in Singapore. These include providing adequate drainage ahead of new developments; implementing flood protection measures; and continual drainage improvement in flood prone areas.
Click here to find out more about flood management strategies.
In 2011, the Expert Panel on Drainage Design and Flood Protection Measures conducted a six-month review on flood protection and risk management measures that will be implemented in Singapore over the next decade. The experts noted that, based on the rainfall intensity records over the past 30 years, there is strong evidence of a trend towards higher rainfall intensities and frequency of intense rains. These up-trends are consistent with the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change 4th Assessment Report (IPCC AR4) and could add further strain on Singapore's existing drainage infrastructure. PUB has put in place a multi-pronged plan that covers the entire spectrum of drainage and flood management. This includes implementing higher drainage design standards and holistic solutions, building new capabilities and working with stakeholders to improve preparedness. Through these efforts, we seek to minimise and mitigate the impact of flash floods in Singapore.

To keep our drains free-flowing and able to perform to their designated capacities, PUB adopts a multi-barrier approach to trapping litter and litter collection as part of its litter management. Contractors are deployed island-wide to carry out physical cleansing, maintenance and minor structural repairs of drains and canals.
A new Department of Public Cleanliness (DPC) has been set up within the National Environment Agency, aimed at improving operational efficiency by integrating the cleaning functions of public areas (including the cleansing of drains, canals and waterways) by various agencies. This will be done in phases from April 1, 2012. In the long run, this will allow the DPC to better manage cleaning contracts, improve service standards and enhance responsiveness to public feedback. Choked drains, canals and dirty waterways will limit drainage capacity and prevent fast and effective drainage during heavy rain. Therefore everyone can do their part in keeping our waterways clean and litter free. If you see any choked drains or pollution in the waterways or reservoirs, you can call the PUB 24-hour Call Centre at 1800-CALL-PUB (1800-2255 782) or call DPC hotline at 1800-600-3333 or email firstname.lastname@example.com to report.

As part of its monitoring system, PUB has installed 201 sensors in key canals and drains to track the water levels. The public is able to access information on the water levels in the canals either through PUB's dedicated flash flood management website, an SMS alert service or PUB's free mobile app "MyWaters".

The recent flooding incidents in Orchard Road (June 2010) and Cuscaden/Tomlinson Roads (June 2011) were due to the exceptional storms.
The Marina Barrage is part of a comprehensive flood control scheme to alleviate flooding in the low-lying areas in the city such as Chinatown, Boat Quay, Jalan Besar and Geylang. By removing tidal influence, the five rivers (Stamford Canal, Rochor Canal, Kallang River, Singapore River and Geylang River) are safe from back-flow of water as the water level within the Marina Reservoir can be kept constant or lowered when there is impeding storms.
By keeping seawater out, Marina Barrage acts as a tidal barrier to reduce flash floods in low-lying areas in the city. Its nine crest gates will be lowered if there is excess water in the basin. In the event that heavy rains coincide with high tides, seven drainage pumps will be activated to remove excess storm water in the basin.

PUB has completed the raising of Orchard Road (from Orange Grove Road to Cairnhill Road) in 2011. It has also announced plans to increase the flood protection for the Stamford Canal catchment (which includes the Orchard Road area) by constructing a detention tank and diversion canal.
Click here for more information on enhancing flood protection for the Stamford Canal catchment.
To provide additional flood protection measures, PUB has in place a Code of Practice on Surface Water Drainage that stipulates drainage requirements. This includes minimum platform and crest levels for buildings and entrances to underground facilities (e.g. basement carparks, underground MRT stations, etc). The latest revision in December 2011 entailed raising the stipulated minimum height of platform, land reclamation and crest levels for new developments to provide better flood protection for buildings. The design parameters for new drains were also enhanced to cater to more intense rain storms.
