The 51-year-old started working as a Commissionaire in parking enforcement with the City of Surrey in 2008.

But because of a punk with a grudge against parking enforcement officers, Dans’ career may come to an abrupt end.

It was on June 21 at about 9:30 p.m., when Dans was contacted by Concord Security, James Dans a firm doing work for the City of Surrey, about a car parked too close to a driveway in the 10200block of 168 Street.

At the time, there was a ceremony being held by Fleetwood Park Secondary School grads at nearby Chandos Pattison Auditorium.

Dans found the vehicle and began writing a ticket.

“I’d like to know why he wanted to kill me over a $30 parking ticket.

It’s insane.”

Hunt gives his salary back to taxpayers About $30,000 in council pay will return to the City of Surrey

by Kevin Diakiw SurrEy COun. Marvin Hunt has

decided he will donate his pay back to the city.

After being elected as B.C. Liberal MLA for Surrey-Panorama in May, Hunt is stuck doing double-duty with the city and province – at least until January – to avoid a $600,000 civic byelection.

Hunt said a few months ago he would be donating his council salary to either NightShift Street Ministries in North Surrey or Mercy Ministries in South Surrey.

However, when asked by The Leader what he would do if taxpayers weren’t happy with his choice for donation, he said giving the money back to the city was also an option.

And that’s what he’s decided to do.

Marvin Hunt “It’s going to be looping back to the city,” Hunt said Thursday.

So far, Hunt said he’s finding doing both jobs manageable. Monday’s city council meeting was the first he’s missed.

“This is where, the month of July, that I said was going to be a challenge,” Hunt said.

Hunt is paid about $60,000 a year to be a councillor, so will return his pay from now until January – roughly $30,000 – to the city.

By law, he can do both jobs, however, he cannot miss 60 consecutive days or four council meetings in a row or his council seat would be rendered vacant.

the use of electric vehicles has the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector.

Powertech is a research facility that provides specialized engineering services in the areas of clean energy, independent testing and power system solutions. As a working test lab, the Tech Park allows for observation of the interaction between electric vehicles and the power grid.

All of the electric vehicle charging stations at the Tech Park – located at 12388 88 Ave. – will be available for the public to use from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday.

Scott Hamilton tops Delta council expenses Seven-member group claimed $52,505.92 in total for 2012

by Adrian McNair

Coun. Scott Hamilton

COun. SCOtt Hamilton claimed the largest expenses among members of Delta’s council in 2012, according to the annual council remuneration and expenses report released at the last council meeting.

Between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2012, Hamilton claimed $9,434.66, more than second-place spender Jeannie Kanakos, who claimed $8,951.32.

The most frugal councillor was Robert Campbell, who at $4,214.84 claimed just eight per cent

of the seven-member council’s $52,505.92 total.

Mayor Lois Jackson expensed $6,610 for her role on council, and a further $1,578.65 for her role on the Delta Police Board.

Council’s total remuneration in 2012 was $485,162.98 with a further $6,473.71 in benefits, which represents a 10.3 per cent increase from the previous year. That’s because last year council approved an 11.9-per-cent increase to councillor pay, $49,294.44 from $44,048, while the mayor received a 6.3-per-cent bump – $110,460.34 from $103,932.

Council’s pay is based on a formula that compares their remuneration to those of four Metro Vancouver municipalities with similar populations – Coquitlam, Richmond, Township of Langley and the District of North Vancouver.

Council’s car allowance also increased this year by $200 per month per council member, costing the Corporation $78,936 in total, or a 27-per-cent increase. The rationale cited for this last year was to reflect the increasing cost of fuel, insurance and vehicle maintenance.

Jail guard pleads Police: Hunt for attacker guilty to accepting bribes from inmates From page 1

Sedrick Dang worked at Surrey Pretrial Services Centre

by Sheila Reynolds A foRMeR corrections officer accused of smuggling contraband to inmates at

Surrey Pretrial Services Centre pleaded guilty in court Thursday.

Sedrick Dang, 26, allegedly accepted bribes to deliver things like a screwdriver, steroids and a cellphone to prisoners between March 2011 and November 2012. He was charged with four offences in March 2013.

On July 5 in Surrey Provincial Court, the Burnaby man pleaded guilty to two of the charges – accepting a bribe as an officer and breach of trust by a public officer. The Surrey pretrial facility, located near 144 Street and 57 Avenue, houses accused offenders while they await trial. Dang was suspended from his job at the time of his arrest. He is due back in court on Sept. 19.

Trio hit by car will be okay

by Kevin Diakiw

Two woMen crossing the street with

a baby in a stroller were hit by a car on Sunday afternoon.

At about 1:15 p.m., the three were crossing 108 Avenue at 160 Street in Fraser Heights when they were hit by a southbound 2005 Honda Accord making a left turn.

The vehicle was travelling slowly and the driver claimed to have the green

light. However, the women also had the green light, and as pedestrians, had the right of way, police said.

Two women, 38 and 18 years old, along with a 15-month-old girl, suffered minor injuries and were taken to Royal Columbian Hospital, treated, and released.

The 31-year-old male driver remained at the scene, and was issued a traffic ticket. Police are continuing to investigate.

RCMP: Details clear in court From page 1

Police say they became “self-radicalized” to support the Al-Qaeda ideology and posed a serious threat to kill or maim people.

RCMP officers announcing the arrests said a “variety of complex investigative and covert techniques” were used to monitor and control the pair to prevent public harm.

Micheal Vonn, policy director for the B.C. Civil Liberties Association, said the concern is that undercover officers may have interacted with the suspects to essentially advance the plot and provide assistance.

Much depends on the police assessment of the level of risk the two suspects posed to public safety in the early stages of the fivemonth investigation.

Vonn said an apparently urgent, genuine public danger would “arguably justify” undercover officers becoming part of the plot to derail it.

But she said the calculation should be very different if police judged they were monitoring two suspects who – regardless of what they may have been saying – wouldn’t or couldn’t make and plant bombs unaided.

“If we did have a case where police actively facilitated the planting of what were supposed to be explosive devices, then we are going to have to ask ourselves questions about fundamental fairness, the appropriateness of this, and whether our legal system has a place for this,” Vonn said.

“Because then you’re creating a crime that otherwise would not exist.”

Vonn sees parallels to the “Mr. Big” investigations where officers

Robinson said it’s surreymatters.com, now time for a new vibrant

party to emerge that is clearly “pro-Surrey and concerned with good growth, proper transit and inclusiveness.”

In a rare tip of the hat to Mayor Dianne Watts, Robinson said the current administration isn’t all bad.

“The mayor and some of her people have done some really positive things,” Robinson said. “However, there are some things that matter to the every day folks that aren’t being addressed.”

One of those things is the enforcement of local bylaws.

Acknowledging there are “positive things going on,” the abiding question is why change it?

“Because you can never actually build anything successfully with one voice,” Robinson said. Bringing on more voices with a greater divergence of opinion is a positive opportunity, he said.

Robinson said Surrey Matters’ civic campaign will be underway by fall.

Surrey Matters will run a full slate of coun-

cillors and perhaps a mayoral candidate.

Robinson, a former

veteran councillor, will be running as well.

As to whether that

will be for mayor, Robinson wouldn’t say.

TERRORISM

Security to tighten

RAESIDE

N

ews of a terrorism plot involving the B.C. legislature and pressure cookers filled with nails has sent shock waves through the province, and nowhere is the news hitting with more impact than in Victoria, where the iconic Parliament Buildings draw tourists year round.

A Canada Day event there (the event the terrorists were targeting) attracted about 40,000 people to the legislative lawns.

B.C. residents may say “it can’t happen here,” but it can and it does.

People in Boston likely felt much the same about the Boston Marathon, before the bombing incident earlier this year, which apparently inspired the Surrey couple alleged to be at the centre of this plot.

Whether inspired by religion, politics or just mischief, acts of terror are on the rise in North America.

Since the infamous acts of Sept. 11, 2001, a host of plots have been uncovered and several attacks, such as the Boston one, have actually been carried out. Three people were killed and 170 injured in Boston.

This has led to a dramatic increase in security at the borders and airports, in particular, but also at large public events such as the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics.

The original budget for security at the Olympics was projected at $175 million. The actual cost was $900 million.

Events such as Canada Day celebrations have not been seen as likely targets for acts of terror, but they do attract large crowds.

The Canada Day event in Cloverdale, the main Surrey event, has attracted as many as 100,000 people. The downtown Vancouver event is also a large one.

Security has usually been pretty straightforward at such events. But it seems likely it will have to be boosted in the future, whether to ensure that wannabe terrorists have no chance to get near an event, or drunken partiers are barred from the grounds.

We may not want more security, but as citizens we appreciate extra efforts to make us safe.

here’s a new sheriff in town for BC Hydro, and it didn’t take long for the political range war to resume.

The new sheriff, Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett, found himself on the barricades as soon as he got the hugely complex responsibility for energy and mines. His saddlebags bulge with reports on BC Hydro’s seemingly runaway costs, along with Premier Christy Clark’s “core review” to cut $50 million a year from government operations.

NDP energy critic John Horgan highlighted the latest BC Hydro troubles in his assault on the B.C. Liberal budget. First there was a $140 million cost overrun on the Northwest Transmission Line, under construction north from Terrace to the tiny Tahltan village of Iskut and adjacent mine properties.

Then BC Hydro revealed results of an audit of its earthquake preparedness.

“Condition red” was the key message.

Basically, the sprawling utility has disaster plans for each of its dams or other power facilities, but no overall way to get the

rates low through the election, and saw the B.C. Utilities Commission jack up the rate increase to seven per cent to help slow the ballooning debt.

What’s ahead for rates? The utility is looking for 32 per cent in the next three years, says energy lawyer David Austin. He calculates that only 2.5 per cent is attributable to increased private power costs.

Among other things, BC Hydro needs regional emergency centres capable of functioning after a Japan-sized quake, plus expansion.

Bennett came clean on another reason for rate increases – the government’s increasing dependence on taking a “dividend” as BC Hydro’s lone “shareholder.”

The newly updated budget tells us this annual “dividend” is past $500 million and rising fast: $545 million this year, $611 million next year and $684 million the year after.

City of Parks a misleading designation Remember, we moved back to Canada to retire in the year

2000. We chose to settle in Surrey. We found a development we liked and chosen house style and were quite pleased with the area. We have great neighbours and are close to facilities we use.

There were two lots further down the street from us which were clear of construction, but unfortunately, had fallen through the cracks, and no one was coming to maintain the walnut tree on site. It had been designated a heritage tree, having been planted in 1949.

Soon, there were young people hanging around at night, climbing the tree, drinking and eating.

I phoned the parks department and asked for a meeting at our home, where 19 people gathered to speak with the two officials who attended.

It was agreed that maintenance would be the responsibility of the parks department. I volunteered to keep an eye on the area. Shrubs were planted which repel weeds, someone donated masses of tulips, and bushes of azaleas were put in. The grass was cut on the street side of the split rail fence encompassing the tree and we were all happy.

Early in the spring of 2013, the tree was chopped down. Then a meeting was called by

parks at the local school. At that forum, we were not allowed to speak with other neighbours, only to the officials. We could only assume that it was a fait accompli then and there. We were shown the diagram and we left.

So, the tree is gone, the weeds are thick, and the rats can be expected back soon. I have sent two messages to city hall and have had no response. It is very misleading to designate Surrey as a city of parks.

Interurban just a piece of history

Great transIt is like the Sky-

Train, or maybe it’s like the new 555 rapid bus: It’s reliable, frequent, runs several times daily, and is filled with choice riders – riders who justify transit over driving, largely because the services they choose are of high quality.

In one survey of riders on the new Canada Line SkyTrain, trip speed is the favourite aspect.

The old Fraser Valley interurban, which was recently described in a Frank Bucholtz column (“Surrey had great transit... 100 years ago”) as “great transit”, ran only thrice daily.

When the service started in 1910, not many could actually afford the recently invented car. It’s easy to see why ridership declined after the 1940s as the car became more affordable and routes became straighter. For many, the new options won over a three-timesdaily service that cannot be missed.

I agree that it was inexcusably short-sighted that the recently partly restored interurban was ended in 1955 without a reasonable alternative, but the old interurban was not great transit. It was just... transit.

There is a growing caucus coming to the conclusion – rather blindly, I must add – that the only good solution for Fraser Valley transit is returning transit to the interurban in the form of light rail.

They need to have a business case. They need to answer questions like: What is the existing

old is gold

on wIth the new and out with

the old – seniors that is. First the ping pong dilemma and now the seniors’ bingo group have been told to move on from Guildford Recreation Centre.

There will be no more bingo for the 25-30 seniors who look forward to spending a Thursday afternoon socializing and playing bingo. Most of the seniors live alone and in the area so they can walk, slowly pushing their walkers to the centre, but no more.

The new fancy facilities will be great for the young and families, which I might add is certainly needed, but don’t forget the senior bingo players. Just remember new is silver, old is gold.

a letter writer argues the Fraser valley interurban rail system is an important part of history, but is not the future of transit. demand, and how will that change?

Are there other reasonable alternatives (i.e. highway rapid buses)?

Can it be phased in and how?

Every modern rapid transit project in North America requiring significant capital costs has been

asked these questions.

But, in the midst of several conflicting studies coming to several different capital cost estimates (and doing that only), I have not seen one supportive business case for interurban light rail.

Until those numbers are given, the interurban is dead. It’s an important figment of our history, but it might be just that.

Garbage incinerator a cause for concern It Is wIth great concern that I continue to hear

from developers of Vancouver’s proposed garbage incinerator that this is a “green project” and that Vancouver is a leader in “green” initiatives.

I assure you the proposed incinerator is anything but.

In fact, studies show that municipal incinerators are the single largest contributors of CO2 when compared to burning coal, oil, natural gas and natural biomass and by a wide margin. Incinerators discharge into the atmosphere a number of harmful heavy metals, dioxins and furans, which are known carcinogens.

The waste ash from incineration results in a concentrated, dangerous, toxic waste that requires careful disposal. Seepage of this toxic ash into the ground water would result in con-

tamination of not only water systems, but also flora and fauna as it follows its way up the food chain.

It appears a slam-dunk the proposal in conjunction with Tsawwassen First Nation will be selected as no public hearings nor rezoning will be required.

Tsawwassen and Delta residents will not only bear the brunt of this ludicrous and dangerous proposition, but will be left breathing toxic air and have to run the gauntlet of a massive increase in truck traffic and odours along the Highway 17 and the Ladner Trunk corridor.

The proposed TFN residential development, in conjunction with a shopping mall and incinerator, will become nothing more than a slum – certainly not the dream community they are

marketing it to be.

This development shows nothing more than greed by a number of individuals and desperation by the City of Vancouver to develop a pristine piece of land for all the wrong reasons.

Those “Farms not Ports” signs should read “Farms not Incinerators” or “Farms not Shopping Malls” as the farmland removed from agricultural purposes by the TFN development is 100 times greater than anything ever utilized

by Port development.

Vancouver is about to poison the air of the Lower Mainland by burning around 500,000 tonnes of garbage. We should be very concerned.

and my happy retirement, but I refuse and now that school is out, parents might like to calmly evaluate the B.C. Liberals’ plan for education.

I am angry and I am insulted at the 10-year deal that the new education minister is trying to sell.

Teachers have legally won the right to bargain for class size, composition, and specialist ratios. Government wants to put those educational priorities aside under some unworkable policy group which is going to destroy the transparency, fairness and guaranteed support to special needs students.

Having lived through the Learning Improvement Fund, this will be another limited pot of money that everyone will be competing for trying to prove their need is greater.

This is what Education Minister Peter Fassbender is peddling, a dubious “new path,” instead of legitimate bargaining.

If this deal is imposed, students will go through another 10 years of under-funding. Even though every single child in the province is owed $1,000, (that is how far behind in funding we have fallen in comparison to other provinces), they will see none of this money.

Just think how much $30,000 per class can bring in terms of staffing, books, materials and computers.

How can PACs be expected to raise this amount times each class in their school per year?

That is what this government is taking away from our children, and I, like the 96 per cent of teachers who voted say: No 10-year deal.

43-year-old succumbed to head injuries

Black Press A DeltA mother is dead after a horseback riding accident in Ladner on Wednesday, July 3.

Roseanne Guerin, 43, and her 18-year-old daughter had been riding horses around 8 p.m. in the 3,600block of 34 Street in Ladner when the mother’s horse was spooked by a dog and began galloping away, throwing Guerin from the horse.

The daughter’s horse followed the first one and while attempting to jump a ditch, the teenager was thrown off.

Witnesses immediately began CPR on Guerin until rescue workers arrived to transport her by air ambulance to Vancouver General Hospital.

She later succumbed to head injuries.

The teen was taken to Delta Hospital where she was treated for scrapes

Roseanne Guerin to her face and bruises to her left leg.

A farm tractor rescued one of the horses that had crashed through a fence and become stuck in a ditch.

Out-of-this-world bid by teen space students Sponsors sought for NASA Texas trip Black Press Reminiscent of Captain Jean-Luc

Picard on Star Trek, Bhupinder Rathore, a third-year Simon Fraser University computer engineering student, is engaging his crew of space colony designers in an out-ofthis-world experience.

They are working to raise the $10,000 needed for flights and accommodation to attend an elite, invitation-only competition at the NASA Johnson Space Centre in Houston, Texas from Aug. 2-5.

They hope to leave July 30.

For the third consecutive year, Rathore is grooming a group of 15to 19-year-olds at Princess Margaret Secondary in Surrey for the finals in the annual International Space Settlement Design Competition (ISSDC).

The competition invites high school students who are mentored by teachers (and in this case, Rathore) to design a space colony for 10,000-plus people, according to set specifications.

‘Cans for Cancer’ Teams: Engage in fundraiser continues non-stop research

Sidhu family aims to raise $32K for Canadian Cancer Society Black Press The Surrey can collec-

tion campaign to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society is continuing.

Sahil Sidhu, 11, and his brother Armaan, 7, have been collecting bottles and cans as a fundraiser for the society in honour of their late mother, Balwinder Kaur Sidhu, who recently lost her battle with esophageal cancer.

Originally, the boys’ goal was to raise $3,200.

But by June 27, which would have been Balwinder’s 32nd birthday, the siblings had already brought in $16,000.

(Incorrect information appeared in The Leader on July 2).

The pair is now aiming to collect $32,000 in total, and four Surrey bottle depots have come on board to help.

The community can bring bottles and

Keep free transit for homeless, TransLink urged Compass cards, fare gates pose social service challenge

by Jeff Nagel TransLink is being urged to find a way to

ensure homeless people continue to get free use of the transit system for certain trips after the new Compass smart card and fare gates are launched this fall.

Advocacy groups across Metro Vancouver have long distributed single-use transit tickets to ensure homeless clients can get transportation to a shelter when needed, or to key appointments, such as for medical care and job interviews. Money to buy those FareSaver tickets comes from the provincial government via B.C. Housing.

But Vancouver Coun. Geoff Meggs wants TransLink to ensure some replacement system is in place once fare gates take effect and old ticket types are phased out.

“It will be a lot harder to get on SkyTrain

and the Canada Line with fare gates,” he said.

“People are going to need some kind of card to get through the gate.”

Meggs said homeless people may simply be able to board a bus without paying or showing any ticket – as many do already – but he argues they shouldn’t have to endure being treated as fare evaders.

“This is about replacing an existing service,” Meggs stressed. “These are specific trips paid for by the province for reasons determined valid by a service provider.”

Meggs hasn’t proposed giving the homeless free transit passes, although he said he’s willing to separately consider the merits of that as well, noting transit fares are a major obstacle for homeless people trying to look for work.

He said transit is a way to level the playing field across income groups.

But Meggs has heard from plenty of critics

angry with any talk of transit subsidies or free rides for some.

“It’s getting tangled up in the fare evasion issue and the discomfort some people feel in providing any assistance to the homeless,” he said.

TransLink spokesperson Jiana Ling said talks are underway with community partners to find a solution that keeps transit accessible to vulnerable people, such as the homeless.

“We’re still in talks about how to approach this,” Ling said, adding TransLink is committed to treating customers “with dignity and respect.”

Under the new system, passengers will tap Compass cards against readers at each end of a transit trip and their account will be debited accordingly.

Ling said passengers who don’t have a regular Compass card will be able to use cash to

buy a cardboard version of the card valid for a single day only on buses and at stations.

Also up in the air is a provincially subsidized transit program for 86,000 low-income seniors and people on disability assistance – they can buy an annual transit pass good anywhere in B.C. for $45 a year.

Ling said TransLink hopes to accommodate that program through the Compass card system, but offered no specifics.

Canadian Taxpayers Federation B.C. director Jordan Bateman said it’s fair to continue to provide free trips for the homeless to reach shelter, health and job appointments.

“Obviously you want to be sensitive to lower-income people and be as helpful as possible,” he said.

The key issue, Bateman said, is to ensure new passes for the homeless get used by intended clients and aren’t resold on the black market.

“totally fictitious” rationale for spending millions on the awards show.

An NDP freedom of information request for the business case behind the awards uncovered “a couple of emails, a press release … and a poster with the premier’s picture on it,” Dix said.

Bond said the Indian newspaper group reports 32 million TV screens for the June 16 telecast in India, with as many as 20 million South Asian people in other countries seeing an international simulcast. A webcast by Sony reached another eight million online viewers, and the program will be rebroadcast on TV as many as 11 more times, Bond said.

Asked if B.C. would sponsor the event again, Bond

didn’t rule it out.

“We recognize the benefit of reaching out to India, and this is one way to do it,” she said.

“We’re going to measure the outcomes.”

Bond said the week-long event, with launch news conferences in Vancouver and Mumbai, a global voting campaign and a music event at the PNE before the main awards show, generated 6,000 direct and indirect jobs in B.C. The Times Group also booked 3,000 hotel rooms in Vancouver.

Surrey-Newton MLA Harry Bains told the legislature the $11 million would have been better spent on school expansions for students in portable classrooms in his constituency.

Costly BC Hydro work needed, minister says Further rate increases will be needed: Bill Bennett

by Tom Fletcher

disaster planning, so that shouldn’t represent a big cost. On that point at least, NDP energy critic John Horgan agreed.

“What the report says is that BC Hydro is not prepared,” Horgan said. “They don’t have any continuity plan for their business to continue. It’s not about money, it’s about being ready.”

BC Hydro spokesperson Simi Heer said the corporation is responding to the audit by accelerating its province-wide emergency response strategy, improving staff training and participating in emergency exercises. Regional emergency operations centres are planned in locations including Port Alberni, Campbell River, Nanaimo, Victoria, Burnaby, Maple Ridge, Prince George and Vernon.

BC Hydro is spending about $2 billion on seismic refits of two of its oldest dams, the John Hart dam at Campbell River and the Ruskin dam on the MissionMaple Ridge border. Its current expansion project, the Northwest Transmission Line from Terrace to Iskut, was revealed to be $140 million over budget.

In April 2012, the B.C. Utilities Commission imposed an extra 2.5-per-cent rate increase, bringing the rate increase for the year to seven per cent. That followed a cost-cutting review of BC Hydro that eliminated 700 jobs in an effort to keep the rate increase below four per cent.

Costly upgrades to old dams are not enough

to prepare BC Hydro for a major earthquake, and electricity rates will continue to rise as upgrades and expansion continue.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett acknowledged Thursday that further rate increases will be needed to finance improvements to the vast hydroelectric network and pay debt on works already completed or underway.

“My job will be to restrain the increases, but there’s no way we can continue to sell power to customers, whether they’re commercial or industrial or residential, at the rates that we’re selling it right now,” Bennett told reporters at the legislature.

NDP critics focused Thursday on a disaster preparedness audit commissioned by BC Hydro last year. The PricewaterhouseCoopers audit reported in December that BC Hydro is at high risk of a prolonged power outage after a major earthquake because of a lack of coordinated emergency plans.

“BC Hydro is not adequately prepared to react, respond and recover from a widespread catastrophic event such as an earthquake as there is not a mature or integrated preparedness program,” the audit states.

Bennett said BC Hydro has enough staff to improve

Wasteto-energy bidders shortlisted

Mass-burn incinerators, Delta cement plant advance

by Jeff Nagel The company that operates Metro Vancouver’s existing garbage incinerator is one of several bidders now short-listed by the regional district to build a new waste-to-energy plant.

Covanta Energy has hedged its bets with two proposals that were short-listed by Metro – one for a mass-burn incinerator and the other to build a gasification plant.

A total of 10 proposals out of the 22 received have been short-listed based on proponents’ proven track record converting garbage into energy and the expertise of their teams.

Metro intends to add 370,000 tonnes per year of new waste-to-energy capacity, but the project is controversial and under steady attack from Fraser Valley critics over air quality concerns as well as others who see incineration as a threat to increased recycling.

Seven of the 10 proposals are for mass-burn incinerators. Besides Covanta, they include engineering giant Aecom, Plenary Group Canada, Energy Answers International, Termomeccanica Ecologia, Wheelabrator Technologies and Aquilini Renewable Energy.

Aquilini has been in talks with the Tsawwasen First Nation to potentially base an incinerator on treaty lands there.

Another short-listed proponent – Lehigh Cement – proposes to pre-process garbage as refuse-derived fuel and then burn it at its Delta cement plant on River Road at Tilbury Island, offsetting its use of either coal or natural gas.

Energy Answers’ incinerator proposal would also pre-process waste as refuse-derived fuel (RDF).

RDF systems typically dry garbage, remove inert materials and otherwise process the waste so it burns better and hotter.

The only other short-listed proponent, Mustang JFE, proposes to combine an RDF approach with anerobic digestion of organics along with gasification.

According to a Metro report, gasification systems typically convert waste to a gas stream that is directly combusted or can be converted into a syngas, which can be converted into a fuel or other product.

Proponents that didn’t make Metro’s short list include Chilliwack Bioenergy Group, as well as several other firms, some of which proposed lesser known technologies.

Some Metro directors had previously voiced concern the process would ultimately result in a massburn incinerator, rather than the use of emerging alternative waste-to-energy technologies.

The Metro staff report on the shortlist notes Metro hired a third-party expert panel and a fairness advisor to ensure the procurement process is not biased in favour of any particular technology. The fairness advisor and third-party expert panel both endorsed the process to rate proponents and the outcome so far.

Apart from the potential sites like Lehigh in Delta, Metro Vancouver residents are still a long way from learning if the new plant may be built in their neighbourhood.

Metro will ask for land owners who want to propose their properties to step forward this summer.

Five short-listed sites, along with others that the short-listed proponents have secured, are to be made public later this year.

Metro intends to pick a site by 2015, which would later be paired with a winning proponent, which would complete the new waste-fired plant built by 2018.

Everywhere in the

community UsedEverywhere.com is a ‘family friendly’ buying and selling site with a social conscience

by Gen Handley

L

ong before she became the marketing director for UsedEverywhere.com, Lacey Sheardown was a borderline-obsessive user of the classifieds site.

“I was always on there. I was an avid user,” she says with a laugh.

Her Victoria home is filled with furniture and other unique items she bought or found for free on UsedEverywhere.

“So when I got this job, my friends were like, ‘Yeah, that makes sense’.”

But what drew Sheardown to the site was more than the satisfaction of treasure hunting. Unlike other classifieds sites out there, this was a place where she could look for a new coffee table without stumbling across an ad for a casual encounter at the local park.

“We’re actually family friendly,” she says.

Across more than 80 cities and towns, the site has a real, live monitoring team, checking ads every hour of the day, ensuring quality content and dependable transactions.

“Your kid can surf our site and you can be comfortable with it,” Sheardown says.

UsedEverywhere.com is now owned by Black Press (which publishes The Surrey-North Delta Leader). It has as many unique visitors in Canada as Craigslist and is the number-one free classified site in Ottawa, Victoria and PEI. The site also includes an informative blog and Facebook page.

As much as the site is about buying and selling, it’s also about connecting people and building community, on- and off-line, with a flesh-and-blood UsedEverywhere community coordinator working locally.

In Vancouver, you might find the community coordinator at the farmer’s markets, or most recently at the Vancouver Children’s Festival, where UsedEverywhere was a major sponsor.

So what’s the coolest thing Sheardown got on UsedEverywhere?

They are also involved with projects such as a car and It’s a large stereo cabinet that was brought over from Europe after the booster seat recycling program that recently took place Second World War. (they recycled 83 expired seats), as well as a new initiative “They had the clothes on their backs, 20 bucks, and this giant, enormous in the next month to work with local business, allowing stereo cabinet.

Renegades ’98 softball team will take on the best of the best at this year’s Scoitabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship.

With their complementary – but different – pitching styles, Katie Humej and Elizabeth Murphy plan to work as a team to make it another successful summer season for the Renegades.

They have plenty to build on after last season – a year that included taking top honours at provincials and nationals.

With the Renegades again getting set for the international tournament, Humej said she can’t wait.

“I’m honestly just so excited to play ball with my team. We’re going to have a lot of good competition,” she said.

The Cloverdale resident has played with the Renegades since first-year squirt division, and has been a pitcher for almost of her young career.

A year-and-a-half ago, Murphy – from Maple Ridge – was added to the roster as another

starting pitcher.

And while some may have anticipated a healthy dose of competition between the two teens, Murphy said the bond between them on the field has only brought them, and the whole team, closer together off it.

“Everyone was really friendly as soon as I got there. Katie was really excited to have another pitcher on the team and we became really good friends right away,” Murphy said.

While both girls admit to giving their all when prepping for their game, Katie said that the most important thing is having fun.

“We all cheer for each other. It’s just such a good feeling. It’s a great sport and it’s a team sport,” Katie said. “I just love the fact that everyone works together so well and everyone is so supportive and it’s fun.”

Following a tournament in Colorado this month, the Renegades will return home for the Canadian Open, which takes place July 12-21 in Surrey at Softball City, Cloverdale Athletic Park and Sunnyside Park.
