Garbage export ban rejected

by Jeff Nagel An EFFOrt to block Metro Vancouver

from exporting its garbage to the U.S. as a fallback waste-disposal option fell flat at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention.

Cache Creek Mayor John Ranta spoke in support of the resolution to ban all international exports of landfillable waste, arguing his town stands to lose more than 100 waste-handling jobs at the Cache Creek Regional Landfill if Metro halts its shipments in 2016 as planned.

Metro plans to build a new waste-to-energy plant, but that’s not expected to be ready until 2018 and it has reserved the temporary option of exporting garbage if necessary.

But Surrey Coun.

Marvin Hunt, a longtime backer of using garbage as a fuel for power, said the resolution was out of order because it would violate marvin Hunt international trade deals.

“These are goods that can be exported just like coal or gas or wood,” he said of garbage.

Hunt also noted some B.C. communities already export their waste to a Washington State landfill run by Rabanco, which hopes to land Metro Vancouver as a customer. “[A provincial ban] would make all those contracts null and void, which is contrary to international free trade,” he said.

The resolution from the Thompson-Nicola regional district was defeated on Thursday.

Hunt said U.S. exports are just one option for Metro and the region could still negotiate to extend its use of the Cache Creek landfill if it needs to.

Premier pledges Massey Tunnel Replacement No word on tolls in Christy Clark’s UBCM convention speech

by Jeff Nagel PrEmiEr cHristY Clark is pledging to begin

work to replace the George Massey tunnel and ease intense traffic congestion on Highway 99 in Metro Vancouver.

But she said it’s way too early to say if the new bridge or tunnel – to be built over 10 years

– will be tolled.

“I don’t know the answer to that,” Clark told reporters. “We don’t even know what the replacement would look like.”

Some people in the region prefer a tunnel, while others want a bridge, she said.

“We are just beginning the planning process.”

Surrey killer’s parole denied Kelly David McKenzie beat girlfriend to death in 2008

by Sheila Reynolds a surrey man who beat his girl-

friend to death four years ago was denied day parole earlier this month because his temporary release from prison would place the public at “undue risk.”

A decision by the Parole Board of Canada dated Sept. 5 said not only was Kelly David McKenzie’s 2008 offence grave, but he has limited insight into his crime, was unlawfully at large on a previous release (with the help of family), and is assessed at a high risk for violence in a relationship.

McKenzie, now 39, was initially charged with second-degree murder in the beating death of Melissa Jean Chatham, 24, but pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced in late 2009 to nine years in prison, less three years for time served.

The parole document details how McKenzie assaulted Chatham over a prolonged period of time, in front of his young son, and then did not call 911 for several hours. McKenzie claimed he was drunk and high and was upset because he thought Chatham had stolen money from him.

McKenzie waived his right to an in-person parole hearing – prompting friends of Chatham to label him a “coward” for not being able to face her family – so his parole review was based only on submitted Melilssa documents.

Chatham The parole board said while McKenzie’s behaviour in jail has improved and he claims to have been sober for four years, he has demonstrated “pro-criminal values,” used violence to achieve personal goals, and has a lengthy history of abusing intimate partners.

The day parole was requested so McKenzie could attend a residential substance abuse treatment program.

McKenzie wrote to the board himself about his insight and remorse.

“In reading your submissions, the Board concludes that you continue to minimize your offence and blame the victim despite your claim that you accept responsibility and are remorseful,” says the parole decision.

Chatham’s murder inspired an anti-violence forum in North Delta last year called Take a Stand/Lend a Hand geared at targeting violence and assisting victims.

Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, vicechair of the TransLink mayors’ council, called it a “great announcement” but added it underscores the need to consider new funding solutions beyond bridge tolls.

“We need to sit down and talk about an integrated approach to funding transit and road pricing,” he said. “I believe the premier and the government are open to that.”

NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston said there are real benefits to replacing the tunnel, particularly with a bridge instead.

“You could have ships with a deeper draft go further up the river up to Fraser port in Surrey,” Ralston said, adding there’s no doubt traffic outstrips the tunnel’s capacity.

But he called Clark’s announcement vague and nearly meaningless.

“It is so far out in the future that it really amounts to just a declaration of intention,” he said.

Ralston said the announcement seems at odds with the province’s latest quarterly financial report signaling huge reductions in capital spending.

Clark also promised a new 16 Avenue interchange at Highway 99 in Surrey would get some of $207 million in new capital spending.

Dizzying disasters

RAESIDE

T

he electorate of B.C. could be forgiven for feeling dizzy.

In the wake of recent developments, flacks for the provincial Liberals and the BC Conservatives were producing enough “spin” to rival a row of tops.

Last week, all that could be said to be spinning was the heads of voters.

These poor John and Jane Does must be wondering if there is still such a thing as political leadership in the province, or whether the 2013 election will be fought strictly on the basis of duelling disasters – or which party scores the least own-goals.

There is no way the resignation of Premier Christy Clark’s chief of staff Ken Boessenkool can be termed good news for the embattled B.C. Liberals, spin it how they may. Clark may characterize it as a swiftly dealt-with disciplinary matter following an internal investigation – and trumpet the advent of BC Hydro board chairman Dan Doyle, a career public servant who helped run the 2010 Winter Olympics and the Pacific Gateway, as acting chief of staff.

But there are questions about the requested resignation of the former Stephen Harper aide that suggests another leak in a badly listing ship.

Boessenkool’s own wording of his resignation letter – in which he refers to an incident in which he “acted inappropriately,” and to his family, which he says he “also let down” – carries with it a whiff of scandal that the media will find hard to resist chasing down. But the B.C. Liberals are not alone in their embarrassment.

The results of the BC Conservatives’ AGM in Langley show that only 71 per cent of voting members believe enough in party leader John Cummins not to request a leadership review. While Cummins is still gung-ho to win the next election, it’s hard to view this result as a glowing endorsement of his leadership. Even worse for the BC Conservatives, it was accompanied by the resignation from the party of its lone MLA, John Van Dongen, and the defection of former Chilliwack-Hope candidate John Martin to the Liberals.

The NDP have done the least to offend in recent weeks. But, by the same token, they have also done the least to build their image, mend fences, or present a new vision for B.C. While the pollsters grant them a commanding lead, they seem to be holding their breath for fear of making a mistake.

This cannot be interpreted as leadership, either – the only thing worse than placing a foot wrong, after all, is not placing a foot at all.

he Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) convention is the political event of the year for B.C. party leaders, especially heading into a provincial election.

Up first was NDP leader Adrian Dix, who drew a large crowd of local politicians last week for the traditional early-morning spot that follows a long evening of receptions.

In contrast to his debut last year, a typical litany of political attacks on the B.C. Liberals, Dix declared he would take the high road. And perhaps mindful of Carole James’ downfall after her content-free speech to the 2010 UBCM convention, Dix set out policies.

He told delegates an NDP government would restore local authority over Metro Vancouver transit (no more toothless “mayors council”) and mountain resorts (no more Jumbo ski resort permits issued over local objections).

Dix would also let communities decide if they want public-private partnerships for large construction projects. (Federal Heritage Minister James Moore later noted that

ally be finished regardless of who is governing in Victoria or Ottawa. It includes some of the most staggeringly expensive road building in Canada, in the Kicking Horse Pass, a short section that could require two tunnels and up to 12 more bridges.

Clark also announced a long-range plan to replace the George Massey tunnel under the Fraser River. It will likely be a bridge, because the tunnel is a bottleneck not only for Highway 99, but also for large ships going up-river.

This is another project that will proceed eventually, and there is no specific financial commitment yet.

I haven’t found any outright false claims in Clark’s presentation, just the kind of creative accounting and blacktop politics familiar to B.C. voters. As always, I’m pleased to hear from people with specific corrections.

For now, call it a tie. Neither speech represents a proud moment for our provincial leadership.

Surrey/North Delta Leader 7

Stop complaining and get with the program Hey ‘future,’ find another home

the CIty of Surrey has a growth

problem, and the prioritization of new interchanges on Highway 99 while the South Fraser Perimeter Road gets intersections illustrates this very well.

The development of new communities in the middle of nowhere, like the one the interchanges will serve (Grandview Heights), is expensive. It costs the city more to accommodate these communities, costs more to live in these communities (if you do you are probably car dependent), costs existing citizens, and it costs the environment.

The development of Grandview Heights has required the introduction of bus #531, while a badly needed B-Line along King George Boulevard continues to be delayed. Elsewhere, recent community proposals in undeveloped Anniedale may necessitate the construction of an interchange on Highway 15 at 96 Avenue, ignoring the critical need to also fund safety, traffic and transit improvements in Guildford on 104 Avenue.

There is another solution: the intensification of the existing and still incomplete urban centres, but it has largely been ignored.

While new community development moves forward, resulting in the demolition of sensitive rural wildlife habitats, intensification proposals like the Newton revitalization plan have been pushed back.

The reckless growth is creating problems affecting everyone in Surrey while the alternative solutions are being largely ignored. If the city cannot recognize and pursue these solutions, then it should forget about “The Future Lives Here” and tell the “future” to find another home. Accommodating the growth is optional.

I don’t want others to be living in what lack of effective management is harbouring as a result: an unsustainable city.

If the city doesn’t set standards for growth management now, a lot of people are going to lose.

I don’t quite understand why there is resistance regarding the new waste program. The City of Surrey started making the public aware of this program months ago. This is a great way to protect our environment as well as reduce waste going into the landfills.

Shortly after seeing what was supposed to go into the organics bin, I decided to start separating the organics from the garbage. I bought a container with a lid and put it between the garbage and recycle cans in the kitchen. It took some getting used to and me constantly reminding everyone what went in which bin. Three months later and I think we pretty much have it down.

About a week ago I photocopied the pamphlet for each bin and taped it to the wall behind each one. Now there should be no excuse for not knowing what goes where.

The most significant difference right away was the fact that we went down to one garbage bag a week between six people.

We use the paper yard waste bags to dump the

organics in. This will also keep the new bin from having to be cleaned as often.

My only concern is over the fact that the recycling will only be picked up every two weeks.

We recycle everything we can and it gets to be a lot sometimes. The only consolation is that we can still fill our old blue bin and set it out as well.

I think this is a great new program and once people get used to it, they will see the true benefits.

L. Koverola, Surrey

Self-responsibility is in order

I sImply cannot understand how people can complain about receiving the large 360-litre cans when there was a card mailed out to the homes months ago that actually allowed you to choose the size for all three cans so they would best fit the size of your household.

Since there are only two of us in our house, we chose the smaller cans. It was a simple process

to fill out the card and drop it in the mail. The card even informed you that if you don’t decide yourself you will get the ones the city says and that there will be a charge to change them out.

It seems obvious that people don’t read their mail they receive, so why blame it on others and the city when they gave you a chance to choose and you couldn’t be bothered to? A little selfresponsibility is in order here.

Another complainer talks about the “overwhelming smells of organics and meat cooking in the can next summer.” The city has said repeatedly that these organic cans will be picked up once a week and that is exactly the same service that currently happens. So what’s the problem here? Again people, read before you criticize a process that has been discussed for months and months.

We should be pleased that Surrey is working to be ahead of the game when it comes to waste management.

Bridge history takes its toll

In a letter to the editor, N.K. Robbins attempted to set the record straight on un-tolled bridges, but he came up a bit short.

Most Lower Mainland bridges were tolled prior to 1964, when the un-tolled Port Mann Bridge opened. The Oak Street Bridge was tolled from 1957 to 1959. The George Massey Tunnel was tolled for five years from its opening (as the Deas Island Tunnel) in 1959 until 1964. The Second Narrows Bridge (now Iron Workers’ Memorial Bridge) was also tolled from its opening in 1960 until 1963. The removal of the tolls on the Iron Workers’ Memorial Bridge, and other bridges in the Lower Mainland, conveniently coincided with the 1963 B.C. election.

Perhaps Premier Christy Clark could be inspired by then-premier WAC Bennett.

Why can’t we talk A primary question about abortion? re: “When does life begin?”,

the thIng that surprises me about the abortion issue in Canada is not that

there are people who are for abortion and people who are against it. That’s to be expected.

What surprises me in a supposedly democratic country is that people in the pro-abortion camp don’t want any discussion about the issue.

Why is it considered un-Canadian to want to debate the issue? When did we become afraid of talking about the hard questions? When did the issue go from “we want/don’t want access to abortions” to “we want/don’t want to be allowed to talk about it?” Does the belief in abortion need to come at the cost of democratic principles?

As Canadians, we might want to ask ourselves why the pro-abortion camp is so desperately afraid of open discussion.

Jan Bredenhof, Surrey

Letters, The Leader, Sept. 27.

Is she human when she is in the womb? This is the primary question. Pro-choice advocates appeal to the right of a woman to have control over her own body. They frame abortion as a women’s health issue. Certainly, pregnancy and giving birth to a child is not easy on a woman’s body. I have supported my wife through three pregnancies. Each one had its difficulties, but each time a beautiful, unique human being grew inside her.

Motion M-312 has been

defeated. Two-thirds of our elected MPs appear to be afraid of asking whether a fetus is a human being. They are afraid of the implications. But we Canadians should never be afraid of the truth. Let’s take courage. Across the nation, human hearts still beat in the wombs of mothers.

We should not rest until the beating hearts of unborn humans beat safely, without threat of violence. May our nation’s politicians see the light, so that our children may see the light of life.

Place your carts at your designated collection spot by 7:30 a.m. on collection day, or no earlier than one day prior.

Place your cart so the arrow on the lid points towards the centre of the lane or street (the handle will be facing your property).

If you want to get rid of your old waste cans and blue boxes, we will collect and recycle them at no cost starting in mid October. Watch for the ‘old bin’ collection schedule on www. surrey.ca/rethinkwaste later in the Fall.

Alternatively, you can hang onto them for use in case you exceed your weekly organics cart capacity. A ‘Yard Trimmings’ sticker can be used to re-purpose the old bin for setting out excess organics/yard waste. Additional yard waste can also be placed in paper yard and leaf bags.

You can also hang onto your old blue box in case you want to use it for setting out excess recyclables.

Excess garbage will require a $2.75 garbage sticker per additional bin or bag. Excess garbage stickers are available at City of Surrey Recreation facilities and at City Hall.

Change of leadership at the GVHBA Peter Simpson retires, Surrey’s Bob de Wit takes helm

by Kevin Diakiw couver Home Builders Association (GVHBA) is undergoing a renovation as it passes the keys to a new head of the lobby group.

The GVHBA has named South Surrey’s Bob de Wit to replace retiring CEO Peter Simpson.

De Wit, 44, was formerly the CEO and director of GreenAngel Energy, a green energy technology company. He told The Leader Friday much of the groundwork has already been laid for the association’s success.

“The organization is in great shape, 750 members, well-positioned to do a number of new things,” de Wit said. “I think areas we can improve would be

with government advocacy, working with the different municipalities. There are 21 municipalities within our area, and we need to work efficiently with all of them, and hopefully more consistently with all of them.”

The selection of de Wit was the result of a national search that began in the summer.

As well as holding degrees in marketing (BBA) and economics

(MA) from Simon Fraser University, de Wit has executive experience in corporate development, finance and competitive market intelligence.

Simpson, 68, has been CEO of the GVHBA for the last 19 years and said he’s going to miss the challenges and the action.

However, he thinks it was time to move on.

“It’s getting to a point where I want

for tomorrow now is the time to plan for spring During the months of April AnD mAy, one of the most common questions we get asked is whether tulips are for sale. We always explain how the best time to plant your tulip bulbs is actually in the fall. So if you are among those who don’t usually think about tulips until the spring, I am here to tell you that now is the time to plan ahead.

The recent beautiful weather we have been having makes it an ideal time to prepare your spring garden.

By planting in October, your plants take advantage of the warm soil and the fall rains, which will arrive all too soon, I’m afraid. The perfect conditions will help your plants develop a strong and healthy root system. This encourages your plants to grow larger and flower more when the warm weather returns, hopefully before July like this year!

You’re Done” because all you have to do is dig a small hole, drop the bulb in the hole and fill it back in with soil. Then all you have to do is wait for the bulbs to sprout out of the ground in the spring and flower. If you don’t believe how easy it is, try some tulips this year and see how easy they are to plant and how beautifully they bloom for you next spring.

to spend some time doing something else,” Simpson said, adding he rarely gets an opportunity to see his wife and two daughters – a situation that will change when he retires next month.

He feels his greatest achievement has been building the membership of the association from a couple hundred to the 750 it is now.

He did that by showing them the value of membership, which includes education and advocacy.

He’s also proud that he was able to “remove some of the impediments” placed on builders by local government. Removing those obstacles, he said, reduced the costs of home ownership.

De Wit takes over from Simpson on Nov. 1.

During the next six weeks, there is an excellent selection of dozens of varieties of tulips you can grow in your garden. They come in a wide variety of colours from red, yellow and white, to pink, purple and orange. You can plant all the colours of the rainbow. One of the more impressive and easiest tulips to grow is the Princess Irene tulip.

This beautiful orange tulip has a bicolour flower and is fragrant when it blooms. This is also the tulip that has been chosen by the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation for its Tulips for Tomorrow campaign to raise funds to support the hospital.

So come in today and choose some tulip bulbs for your garden.

We have everything you need for your garden to bloom next spring.

muter demand from South Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford,” in particular the congestion on 32 Avenue at the 32 Avenue interchange that was built in 1999.

However, no equivalent planning agreement has been reached for the 24 Avenue crossing over Highway 99 – another South Surrey site that has been earmarked for an interchange for several years, and which now is home to Grandview Corners and Morgan Crossing.

“Ideally, we’d want both 16th and 24th (exchanges to proceed at the same time),” Gill said, “but I don’t think (the ministry) will fund both.”

Surrey transport planning manager Philip Bellefontaine said the deal to cost-share design work was the product of “quite recent” talks between Surrey and ministry staff.

Bellefontaine said 16 Avenue has been identified as a “strategic connection” that has value to the city because it will reduce congestion on 32 Avenue.

The city planner stressed that a final agreement on who will pay how much to build the interchange hasn’t been reached.

That deal will probably not be done until after the design is completed, he said.

“We (the city) have said we will support funding, but we don’t have a project to fund yet.” dferguson@peacearchnews.com

Who needs a Power of Attorney or a Will

by Khevinn Pacheco of South Point Law Centre

Many people these days recognize the importance of making financial plans for their future by investing their assets in a prudent fashion.

However, it is surprising how many people overlook the importance of securing their assets if serious illness or incapacity strikes. Given that such unfortunate situations can arise unexpectedly, this can create a considerable amount of stress and hardship to loved ones.

Although one cannot predict when problems will arise, it is possible to plan for such contingencies by making a Power of Attorney or Representation Agreement. A Power of Attorney enables one to delegate another individual to manage one’s financial affairs. In situations where one wishes to grant such authority to another on a wider range of issues, such as healthcare related decisions, a Representation Agreement is appropriate.

Although a Power of Attorney or a Representation Agreement can be a useful tool to help protect and manage assets during one’s lifetime, one should prepare a Will to help manage and distribute assets upon one’s death.

A Wills and Estates lawyer can help you prepare an estate plan to ensure that your assets are protected and your wishes respected.

THE B.C. GOVERNMENT will ask local communities to nominate directors for the BC Transit board, in an effort to improve communication on bus service changes and expansions.

Transportation Minister Mary Polak announced last Tuesday (Sept. 25) that communities will also have the option of setting up regional transit commissions, similar to the one in place in Greater Victoria.

The recommendations follow a review of BC Transit administration, sparked by complaints that the provincial agency was arbitrarily changing service and costs after municipal budgets were set.

“We are also making sure that BC Transit provides sufficient notice to local governments of

any service adjustments, along regional service. The provincial with the type of information local review identified the Okanagan governments need to make timely and Central Fraser Valley as other budget decisions,” Polak areas that should consider said. amalgamating.

Black Press SURREY RESIDENTS have a new way to make their

voices heard on issues such as transit and bridge tolls through the 2012 Metro Vancouver Urban Futures Survey – the online version of a historic survey that has been instrumental in shaping the way Lower Mainland municipalities have managed growth.

This is the third chapter of the survey, which previously helped set Vancouver on its path toward environmental protection, planning, preservation of open space and a transit-oriented transportation system.

“The first Urban Future’s Survey gave us as decision-makers the confidence to pursue policies that might have otherwise been dismissed as impractical,

Utopian or too costly,” said former Vancouver mayor Mike Harcourt.

The 2012 survey is being conducted online through PlaceSpeak, a new online public consultation platform being developed right here in Vancouver, and includes all Metro municipalities, from Surrey to Coquitlam.

Organizers say it’s so far been dominated by Vancouver, New Westminster and the North Shore, while Surrey residents have yet to make their presence felt.

To take the survey, Metro Vancouver residents must first verify their home address by registering with PlaceSpeak. The survey takes approximately 22 minutes to complete and can be found at www. placespeak.com/urbanfuturessurvey.com

But groups that fought for the naming, such as the Burns Bog Conservation Society, say the sensitive ecology of key areas is still threatened by development, including the South Fraser Perimeter Road and a proposed rezoning just northeast of the bog in Delta.

“As wonderful as the Ramsar designation is, it won’t stop the destruction of Burns Bog unless the federal government honours its commitments to the Ramsar Convention,” society president Eliza Olson said.

The bog is often called the lungs of the Lower Mainland and the South Fraser Delta wetlands provide key bird and salmon habitat.

Most of the bog has been protected as a conservancy since 2004, when four levels of government joined forces to buy 2,000 hectares of private land for $73 million.

POLICE BRIEFS

Presented by:

Vancouver Police are seeking charges against 50 more accused Stanley Cup rioters, including the last of 15 alleged assailants who attacked a Good Samaritan who tried to hold back the mob.

Jonathan Stephen Mahoney, a 24-yearold Newfoundland man who police tracked down and arrested in Saskatchewan, now faces charges of participating in a riot, assault, assault with a weapon and two counts of mischief.

He’s accused of joining others in swarming and beating Robert Mackay, who tried to keep a department store from being looted.

Crown has so far charged 13 of those accused of participating in the assault, which was caught on video.

The new recommended charges to Crown target 44 men and six women ranging in age from 14 to 39.

A dozen of them hail from Vancouver, 11 are from Surrey, four are from North Vancouver and three each are from Langley, Maple Ridge, New Westminster or are from elsewhere in B.C. Of all riot suspects, the top five cities they call home are Surrey (55), Vancouver (50), Burnaby (30), Richmond (21) and North Vancouver (18).

Prosecutors have approved charges against 11 more adults for their alleged roles in the 2011 Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver.

“They’re still not willing to budge on wages,” union president David Black said. “Their proposals put our members far behind the rising cost of living.”

The walkout affects some driver service or licensing centres as well as some other offices in Surrey, Burnaby, Abbotsford, Port Coquitlam, Langley, New Westminster, Richmond, Vancouver and North Vancouver.

The region intends to first identify viable technologies and proponents, then potential

to ensure proponents can demonstrate their ability to perform, and loosening that rule would add more risk to an already challenging process, since the board won’t make a final decision on what will be built where until 2016 and the plant or plants won’t open until late 2018.

“If we try to incorporate the vagaries of a promising technology, it’s going to make it a lot more complicated,” Metro chief financial officer Jim Rusnak said.

Addressing concern the plan required proponents have a “fullscale reference facility” on which they would be judged, Metro managers say it need not be a large plant, but perhaps one with a minimum size of 30,000 to 50,000 tonnes per year.

Burnaby Coun. Colleen Jordan said she’s worried more delay in the process – because some politicians hope a “magical” and more palatable WTE technology will pop up – might result in rejected bidders going to court to challenge Metro’s eventual decision.

Reimer said she is reluctant to re-fight the issue in committee and cause further delay..

Also to be reconsidered is whether an earlier decision to require any new plant is “publicly owned” be tightened to just Metro Vancouver-owned.

Some directors say the looser public ownership term – which Hunt wanted so local cities could be co-owners – may lead private firms to start talks with cities, other levels of governments or even Crown corporations, adding more chaos to the process.

“You could have the port, you could have the universities, the airport authority, the health authorities,” Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said.

“You’re potentially opening it up very widely.”

He noted that even if Metro is the only permitted owner, other entities like the port or airport could still offer to host the new plant when the region asks interested land owners to step forward next year.

Richmond Coun.

Harold Steves also supported the change, saying Metro is otherwise on track to build a “fossil fuel power plant” that will burn plastic and increase particulate and greenhouse gas emissions.

Metro staff say the procurement of an extra 370,000 tonnes of waste-to-energy capacity is already highly complex and subject to a provincial directive that all sites and technologies compete fairly.

directors who oppose building a new garbage incinerator have persuaded the board to rethink its planned procurement rules, arguing they could thwart new greener waste-toenergy technologies.

Metro directors were poised to approve the procurement strategy Sept. 21, but instead voted to send it back to staff and the zero waste committee to refine the regional district’s

sites in and outside the region, before winnowing the potential P3 partners to a short list of three who would compete in a final bidding phase.

“All of this leads down the path of probably one large massburn incineration facility serving the region,” Clay warned.

“We have been burning garbage in large piles since we figured out how to do fire,” Reimer said. “It’s been happening for 50,000 years.”

Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay said he’s also concerned the proven track record requirement will block emerging operators in the first phase of Metro’s planned multi-stage bidding process.

designation will bolster efforts to protect the bog and other threatened wetlands.

But groups that fought for the naming, such as the Burns Bog Conservation Society, say the sensitive ecology of key areas is still threatened by development, including the South Fraser Perimeter Road and a proposed rezoning just northeast of the bog in Delta.

“As wonderful as the Ramsar designation is, it won’t stop the destruction of Burns Bog unless the federal government honours its commitments to the Ramsar Convention,” society president Eliza Olson said.

The bog is often called the lungs of the Lower Mainland and the South Fraser Delta wetlands provide key bird and salmon habitat.

Most of the bog has been protected as a conservancy since 2004, when four levels of government joined forces to buy 2,000 hectares of private land for $73 million.

POLICE BRIEFS

Presented by:

Vancouver Police are seeking charges against 50 more accused Stanley Cup rioters, including the last of 15 alleged assailants who attacked a Good Samaritan who tried to hold back the mob.

Jonathan Stephen Mahoney, a 24-yearold Newfoundland man who police tracked down and arrested in Saskatchewan, now faces charges of participating in a riot, assault, assault with a weapon and two counts of mischief.

He’s accused of joining others in swarming and beating Robert Mackay, who tried to keep a department store from being looted.

Crown has so far charged 13 of those accused of participating in the assault, which was caught on video.

The new recommended charges to Crown target 44 men and six women ranging in age from 14 to 39.

A dozen of them hail from Vancouver, 11 are from Surrey, four are from North Vancouver and three each are from Langley, Maple Ridge, New Westminster or are from elsewhere in B.C. Of all riot suspects, the top five cities they call home are Surrey (55), Vancouver (50), Burnaby (30), Richmond (21) and North Vancouver (18).

Prosecutors have approved charges against 11 more adults for their alleged roles in the 2011 Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver.

Newly charged are Kevin Edward Bernard Mercier, Vasilios George Makris, Carlos Hernan BarahonaVilleda, Nathan Thomas Blake, Robert Douglas Viljo Dack,

The region intends to first identify viable technologies and proponents, then potential

to ensure proponents can demonstrate their ability to perform, and loosening that rule would add more risk to an already challenging process, since the board won’t make a final decision on what will be built where until 2016 and the plant or plants won’t open until late 2018.

“If we try to incorporate the vagaries of a promising technology, it’s going to make it a lot more complicated,” Metro chief financial officer Jim Rusnak said.

Addressing concern the plan required proponents have a “fullscale reference facility” on which they would be judged, Metro managers say it need not be a large plant, but perhaps one with a minimum size of 30,000 to 50,000 tonnes per year.

Burnaby Coun. Colleen Jordan said she’s worried more delay in the process – because some politicians hope a “magical” and more palatable WTE technology will pop up – might result in rejected bidders going to court to challenge Metro’s eventual decision.

Reimer said she is reluctant to re-fight the issue in committee and cause further delay..

Also to be reconsidered is whether an earlier decision to require any new plant is “publicly owned” be tightened to just Metro Vancouver-owned.

Some directors say the looser public ownership term – which Hunt wanted so local cities could be co-owners – may lead private firms to start talks with cities, other levels of governments or even Crown corporations, adding more chaos to the process.

“You could have the port, you could have the universities, the airport authority, the health authorities,” Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said.

“You’re potentially opening it up very widely.”

He noted that even if Metro is the only permitted owner, other entities like the port or airport could still offer to host the new plant when the region asks interested land owners to step forward next year.

Harold Steves also supported the change, saying Metro is otherwise on track to build a “fossil fuel power plant” that will burn plastic and increase particulate and greenhouse gas emissions.

directors who oppose building a new garbage incinerator have persuaded the board to rethink its planned procurement rules, arguing they could thwart new greener waste-toenergy technologies.

Metro directors were poised to approve the procurement strategy Sept. 21, but instead voted to send it back to staff and the zero waste committee to refine the regional district’s

“We have been burning garbage in large piles since we figured out how to do fire,” Reimer said. “It’s been happening for 50,000 years.”

Vancouver Coun.

Andrea Reimer said emerging waste-toenergy technologies that might be much less polluting than a conventional incinerator could be blocked because of a planned requirement that proponents have operating plants where they can prove their system works.

Delta schools save $180K a year with new technology 11 buildings receiving system upgrades

by Adrian MacNair An energy efficiency project

expected to generate big savings for the Delta School District broke ground at Neilson Grove Elementary on Oct. 1.

The school is just one of 11 buildings in the district receiving a $6.4-million geoexchange system upgrade featuring pipes installed under the playing fields that provide heating and cooling to the schools.

FortisBC will provide the installation and initial funding for the project, meaning the school district won’t have to pinch their pennies to pay for it.

“Providing this type of technology to nine schools throughout the school district, in conjunction with upgrading all the boilers to high-efficiency boilers is a pretty significant energy solution,” says Michael Allison, a spokesman with FortisBC. Geoexchange is based on solar heat that gets trapped in the earth during warmer months of the year. Heat pumps then draw that heat from the ground as the weather cools and pumps it into the building, explains Allison.

During warmer months it can use the cooler earth as a heat sync to cool the buildings.

The size of the geoexchange system is determined by the amount of energy required. In the case of Delta’s schools, the pipes will likely be stored under the athletic fields.

The system works in conjunction with natural gas boilers to provide backup heat as needed.

A win on the road, a loss at home for BCHL team

Eagles get a split - again

by Nick Greenizan

Win one, lose one. Win one, lose one.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Such is life these days for the Surrey Eagles, who have been consistently inconsistent through the first month of the BC Hockey League season.

As they have every weekend this season, the Eagles won once and lost once last weekend, defeating the Coquitlam Express 2-1 on the road Friday, before dropping a 3-2 double-overtime game to the Chilliwack Chiefs Sunday evening at South Surrey Arena.

The team now sits with a 4-3-0-1 (wonloss-tied-overtime loss) record.

“We at least had the overtime game, so we got the extra point, and if you had told me before this weekend that’d we’d get a win in Coquitlam and come out with three of four points, I’d have taken it,” Surrey Eagles head coach Erhart said.

“We’re a fairly young group, and we’re learning on the fly. But hopefully one of these weekends we can come away with all four points.”

On Friday, new goaltender Michael Santaguida – who was acquired last week from the United States Hockey League, taking the spot of Edward Dyson, who was released – made his mark with his new club, stopping 30 shots en route to the road win.

“With (Santaguida) and Glenn Ferguson, we really feel like we’ve got a solid, quality duo in net,” Erhart said.

Another newcomer to the Eagles’ nest, 18-year-old forward Joel Gaudet – a former member of Semiahmoo Minor Hockey Association – opened the scoring for the visiting team when he carried the puck into the slot and slipped the puck past Coquitlam netminder Cole Huggins.

Later in the period, Surrey extended its lead to 2-0 when defenceman Tommy Stipancik – yet another new Eagle who arrived last week from the Western Hockey League – fired a shot from the blue-line that, after a strange bounce, made it’s way across the goal line.

Neither team scored in the second frame, but Coquitlam cut the lead to 2-1 midway through the third period when Brady Shaw’s shot beat Santaguida.

Sunday, the Eagles saw their record fall back to .500 after the OT loss to the Chiefs.

As was the case in Friday’s game, the

DAMON JAMES / CONTRIBUTOR

Spencer Graboski of the Chilliwack Chiefs (18) crashes the net against Surrey eagles defenceman Devon Toews and goaltender Santaguida during Sunday’s BCHL game in the South Surrey Arena. Chilliwack won 4-3 in double overtime.

Eagles – playing Chilliwack for the third time in a month – jumped out to an early lead after first-period goals from Brett Mulcahy and Devon Toews, but Chiefs’ forward Cooper Rush made it 2-1 with one second left before the first intermission, with a shorthanded goal.

Chilliwack’s Spencer Graboski – named the game’s first star – tied the game in the second period, and Ben Israel gave the Chiefs the lead six minutes later with a power-play marker.

In the third period, Surrey tied the game when leading scorer Demico Hannoun’s shot found the back of the net.

The game stayed knotted at two goals apiece until 1:46 into the second overtime frame, when Chilliwack’s Luke Esposito scored to give his team the win.

“It was a little frustrating because we were up 2-0 again, and had played one of our best periods of the season,” Erhart said.

The outcome was a reversal of fortune for Surrey, who earlier in the month had

defeated the Chiefs in the exact same, double-overtime fashion.

Santaguida was again between the pipes for the Birds, stopping 41 shots on net.

The Eagles, who at the beginning of the season were among the BCHL’s best squads on special teams, struggled on the weekend when the game was not five-on-five. Though they stayed strong on the penalty kill – they’re ranked sixth in the league – Surrey was a combined 0-for-12 on the power-play, and gave up one shorthanded goal.

hockey for the first two weeks of the season, a four-game losing streak has dropped the North Delta Devils to the bottom of the standings.

The Pacific Junior Hockey League (PJHL) team was outscored 30-10 last week, dropping two games on the road before losing at home for the first time.

The week concluded with a 5-4 loss to the Grandview Steelers Sunday evening, the closest decision of the week.

North Delta fell 5-3 to the North Vancouver Wolf Pack Wednesday, then lost 8-1 to the Richmond Sockeyes. Playing at home Saturday in the Sungod Arena, where they had won their first two outings, the Devils were humbled 12-2 by the Delta Ice Hawks.

In the middle of the pack after a 2-2-0-0 wonloss-overtime loss-tied) record, the Devils have now slipped to 2-6-0-0, and are three points behind the Wolf Pack in the Tom Shaw Conference standings. Four of the five teams will advance to the playoffs.

The Devils started slow in North Vancouver, trailing 4-0 before the game hit the halfway point. Matthew Tilton and Benjamin Vikich tallied to cut the difference to 4-2, but that was as close as they got. After a Wolf Pack goal midway through the third period, Matthew Painchaud of the Devils completed the scoring.

A positive for North Delta was special teams.

They scored once on two power play chances, and killed off a pair of shorthanded situations.

minutes then allowing four goals in the first four minutes of the second period.

Joshua Trisevic was the lone Devil to score, netting a goal with nine seconds left in the second.

Richmond outshot the visitors 46-30, and scored on one of seven power plays. The Devils were shutout on two extraman opportunities.

North Delta didn’t fare any better on home ice Saturday. Although they held a 9-8 edge in shots on goal after 20 minutes, it was the Delta Ice Hawks holding a commanding 5-1 lead.

The visitors scored once while shorthanded, another on a penalty shot, and three times at even strength.

The count was 9-2 after two periods, with the Ice Hawks adding three more in the third.

Several Ice Hawks were able to pad their scoring stats in the game, led by Mark Whiteley.

The Surrey native scored once and assisted on six others for a seven-point night.

North Delta resident Anthony Brito tallied three times for Delta and assisted on two others, and now leads the PJHL scoring race with 13 goals and seven assists in just six games played.

The final shots on goal tally was 25-21 for Delta, a team which scored on almost half their shots.

Details of Sunday’s game weren’t available by The Leader press time.

After a four-game in five-days stretch, North Delta will play twice next week against opposition from the Harold Brittain Conference, visiting the 4-1-0-0 Abbotsford Pilots Friday night, before hosting the 2-30-0 Mission Outlaws Saturday at 6:45 p.m. in the Sungod Arena.

Cancer Colliding with a

Healthy Outlook

A discoloured patch of skin coincidentally led Lori Kittelberg to perform a self breast exam—something the 39-year-old had only done sporadically.

She found a small lump.

“That’s when it all started,” says Lori, whose young age and breast-cancer-free family history had her physician thinking there was little reason for concern.

“When they told me I had breast cancer, it was like being punched in the gut,” she remembers.

With her husband by her side, they were told she would undergo surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Lori awaits radiation or “insurance,” as she calls it.

Throughout treatment, Lori has been motivated to keep moving. Whether it’s yoga, walking or running with friends, she believes, “The stronger and fitter the body, the better it is.” Lori registered for the BC Cancer Foundation’s Bust a Move next April because, “Living healthy means I can potentially see my fiveyear-old son grow up,” she says.

Bust a Move is a day-long fitness event that will support life-saving breast cancer research at the BC Cancer Agency, which motivates Lori who knows fitness is an important part of keeping the body healthy and in preventing breast cancer or a recurrence.

& MUSIC The inaugural Surrey International Music Marathon attracts thousands of participants

Full-marathon runners begin their 42-kilometre run at the Surrey International World Music Marathon at Central City on Sunday.

Black Press

A

Surrey man won the first Surrey International World Music Marathon, while a local man and woman came in third.

Surrey’s Drew Nicholson logged an impressive 2:36:19 to win the marathon on Sunday.

The event, based at Central City and with routes throughout North Surrey, included a marathon relay, half marathon and Mayor’s 5K. Coming in second was Jeremy Waters of Coquitlam (2:47:26) and White Rock’s Chris Barth who came in at 2:50:26.

The top women were two from Langley, Kendra Braun (3:04:09) and Tracey Kuehn (3:21:35) and Surrey’s Tanya Zarin came in third with a time of 3:27:06.

“We’re thrilled with the results of the first-time event,” said marathon chair Elizabeth Model.

“It’s been our vision for two years to welcome the world to Surrey and provide an event that really is about inclusivity and celebration of our diversity.”

More than 2,000 people came out to the Surrey World Music Marathon, Run Inn Half Marathon Prospera Relay and Mayor’s 5K. Left: Fauja Singh Chindsa, 101, finishes the Mayor’s 5K Run.
