Surrey wins 2016 fastpitch bid Best softball athletes from 30 countries will compete here

by Nick Greenizan THE 2016 Women’s World Fastpitch Championships have been awarded to Surrey.

The announcement was made Friday at the conclusion of the International Softball Federation’s congress in Cartegena, Colombia.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and Coun. Tom Gill joined members of the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship committee – headed up by Greg Timm – in Colombia, and the committee made the announcement on Twitter and via a flurry of text messages.

“We got it – I just got a text from Greg. The (ISF) called it ‘an exemplary bid.’ It’s pretty exciting, and I can tell all the guys down there are excited, too,” Chuck Westgard, a member of the bid committee Chuck Westgard who did not make the trip south, told Black Press.

“It’s the first-ever world championship for Surrey, so it’s big – it’s big for the city and for softball in B.C.” Watts said the event will be a huge boost for Surrey.

“Securing an event of this magnitude is strongly aligned with our sport tourism strategy and economic action plan,” she said.

Gill, who is chair of Surrey Finance Committee, noted the city is getting good value for its world-class sports facilities.

“It’s incredibly important that the facilities we are building for the use of our residents are also being leveraged to host events of this scale, which bring significant investment into our city. “

“... it’s big for the city and for softball in B.C.”

Gambling addict aims to change casino program

Delta woman wants winnings threshold lowered

to replace the George Massey tunnel is critical to reducing congestion on the Highway 99 corridor, Delta Mayor Lois Jackson argued Friday before a skeptical Metro Vancouver board.

But she failed to derail a board motion that passed demanding the province prove how the megaproject will respect the regional growth strategy and other regional objectives, like improving air quality and access to public transit.

Jackson called the premier’s September announcement of a new bridge that will be built “long, long overdue” and insisted the corridor is congested because of truck traffic that can’t be

put on transit lines.

She said congestion has also worsened due to increasing traffic from the U.S., South Surrey/ White Rock, the Tsawwassen ferry terminal and said more will come when the Tsawwassen First Nation opens a planned major destination shopping mall.

Jackson rejected arguments a new bridge may spur more traffic and pollution.

“When you’ve got four miles of traffic sitting there puffing for hours on end I don’t think that’s a good air quality situation,” she said, referring to long lines to get through the tunnel in each direction at peak times.

Jackson argued Metro planners failed to understand the justification for

Mayor Lois Jackson the project and wanted the issue referred back to staff to consider studies prepared by Delta.

Richmond Coun. Harold Steves said a second tube for transit could easily be dropped in the Fraser River beside the existing tunnel to carry light rail transit from Richmond to Surrey and White Rock.

He predicted a rapid transit alternative along Highway 99 will be stalled for a decade or more under the province’s plan.

“If you put in a toll bridge for cars they’re not going to want public transit on it until they pay for the bridge.”

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the region will never build its way out of congestion by adding more lanes of road.

“It sells well in the suburbs, but the problem is you can’t bring more cars into Vancouver.”

He said the strategy of trying to carry still more traffic into a plugged urban core also runs counter to the regional aim of placing new destination amenities South of the Fraser to shift the focus away from downtown Vancouver.

The Metro board motion also directs staff to investigate the business plan for the new bridge, the role of the port in the decision and the effects of other Gateway Program infrastructure, like South Fraser Perimeter Road, which will soon be fully opened.

Metro directors also called on the TransLink board to give its analysis of the ramifications of expanding the crossing, with an examination of both tolled and nontolled scenarios.

Vancouver Coun.

Heather Deal, chair of Metro’s environment and parks committee, said there’s also concern about impacts to Deas Island Regional Park, which would be in the shadow of the new bridge.

She said shoreline habitat will be threatened if the channel is dredged to open increased shipping up the Fraser towards Surrey.

Deal said it appears that would enable a proposed coal export terminal at Fraser Surrey Docks that Metro has already opposed.

Metro’s board also voted to have staff more closely study a proposal from the Port Alberni Port Authority to develop a container port there and send barges up the Fraser River.

Jackson doubted the concept would work but other directors see it as offering potential to get more trucks off the region’s roads and move freight on the river.

POLICE BRIEFS

Surrey logs its 19th homicide as man shot dead

by Sheila Reynolds

A MAN is dead after being shot in the driveway of a Surrey home early Friday morning.

The incident took place in a residential neighbourhood near 156 Street and 86 Avenue.

Surrey RCMP and paramedics arrived to find a deceased male inside his vehicle.

A neighbour told CTV he heard about three gunshots at approximately 5 a.m. and heard a car leaving the scene afterwards. A man’s body was reportedly slumped out of the driver’s side door of a car parked in the driveway.

The integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) was called in to investigate and on Friday morning the area was cordoned off with yellow police tape.

The victim has now been identified, but his name is yet not being released pending further notification of his family, IHIT Sgt. Jennifer Pound said. The Jennifer Pound man does not have a criminal record, police said.

Anyone with information about the homicide is asked to call the IHIT tip line at 1-877-557-4448 or to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Intruder slashes Whalley man

A WHALLEY man is nursing slash wounds after finding an intruder in his carport last week.

At 2:25 a.m. Thursday, police were called to a home in the 9800-block of 138 Street. They arrived to find a 47-year-old resident of the home suffering from cuts from a sharp object.

The victim had heard some noise coming from his carport, which he initially thought was being made by animals. When he went out to investigate, he confronted a man who he believed was trying to steal things.

An altercation ensued, and the resident was slashed. Both wounds were superficial and were treated by paramedics.

The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, 35-45 years old, about 6’, with a medium build, shaved head, and wearing a camouflagestyle jacket.

Police are asking that anyone who witnessed this incident to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

Championships: Set for July 2016 From page 1

LEADER FILE PHOTO

Team Canada celebrates a run at last year’s Canadian Open Fastpitch International Tournament at Softball City.

In Colombia, the bid committee made a handful of presentations to the ISF congress throughout the week, and a final vote among the ISF’s 130-plus members was held Friday morning.

“Developing our bid was 18 months of work on behalf of the bid committee, and winning today is incredibly exciting,” Timm said.

“This is the premier tournament in our

sport, and bringing it home to Surrey and Canada is an incredibly proud moment.”

The world championships are set to take place in July 2016 and will likely coincide with Surrey’s Fusion Festival, according to the news release.

For one year, the tournament will replace the Canadian Open, which is played each summer in South Surrey and Cloverdale.

The world championships have been held in Canada just twice before – in 1994

in St. John’s, Nfld. and in 2012 in Whitehorse.

Westgard expected the process of organizing such a large event to be a grueling one. He said he and other supporters were able to take a celebratory breather Friday.

“It was a lot of hard work to put this together, and this was only the first part of it. We’ve got three years to go, and it’ll go by fast, but we’ve got Greg at the helm, so it’s lot of work, but we know we’ll be fine,” Westgard told Black Press.

Gambling: Class action lawsuits are before the courts From page 1 “A few months later, I was back in there gambling,” she said.

Not only did Ross play, she was able to collect her winnings, despite being in the VSE program.

The BCLC takes VSE members off mailing lists and cancels reward cards, which Ross said is a good start.

But she says it fails in enforcement, because it doesn’t circulate pho-

tos of gamblers who have entered the VSE program to dealers and floor staff.

What’s more, photo identification is only required for winnings exceeding $10,000, since those are the ones which must be reported through Fintrac, Canada’s moneylaundering and antiterrorism watchdog.

Ross suggests a two-pronged solution: Lower the threshold at which photo identification must be presented

to $500, and then cross-reference the name with those in the VSE database.

Many addicted gamblers like Ross have lost tens of thousands of dollars in smaller amounts over a longer period of time, despite being in the VSE club.

That wouldn’t happen if casinos checked smaller winnings, Ross said.

“You’re not getting your $500, and you’re out the door,” she said.

“That would be the end

N OT I C E O F P U B L I C O P E N H O U S E

of the problem.”

Ross said the litigation would also stop because people would get caught early on in the program. She believes gambling addicts who enter the program are serious about quitting, but can’t do it if the program doesn’t work.

Two problem gamblers launched a classaction lawsuit against the BCLC in January after they were denied $77,000 in casino winnings in 2010.

Hamidreza Haghdust was denied jackpots totaling $35,000 at casinos in Coquitlam and Vancouver and Michael Lee was refused a $42,000 slot

machine jackpot in Duncan because they were both enrolled in the VSE program, which is designed to bar admitted problem gamblers from casinos.

That lawsuit – which is still working its way through the courts – argues it’s unconscionable for BCLC to deny their winnings since it was negligent in failing to keep them from gambling in the first place, and may also constitute a breach of contract.

Ross, who launched her own lawsuit, said she began gambling when was younger but never got into it seriously until casinos began opening in the

Joyce Ross Lower Mainland.

“I wasn’t a big gambler until I got addicted. And like most addicts, what happened to me was the big win.”

Once she hit a $1,000

jackpot on her first slot machine, Ross felt the urge to keep playing for another one, even past the point of financial ruin.

In 2006, she realized she had a serious problem and that’s what led to signing into the VSE program.

Ross said she doesn’t expect any money from her lawsuit, which she launched solely to bring awareness to the flaws in the program.

“It’s really important that people understand that this isn’t about me recouping my losses,” she said, adding the purpose is to prevent more lives from being ruined.

Flu shot or mask rule upheld by arbitrator B.C. health care workers in patient care areas must get vaccinations or wear a mask

by Tom Fletcher

HEALTH CARE workers and visitors in patient care areas will be required to have the current influenza vaccination or wear a mask when the annual influenza season returns in December.

Health care union objections to the policy were rejected by a labour arbitrator’s ruling this week, a decision Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall called “good news for patients.”

The policy can now be enforced for staff across all of B.C.’s health authorities, particularly in long-term care facilities, Kendall said Thursday. Visitors will be on an “honour system” to keep their flu shots up to date or use a mask when they visit friends and relatives, he said.

The current influenza vaccine is available from doctors and pharmacies around the province, and is free to those with chronic conditions or who come in contact with people who are at higher risk of serious complications from influenza.

To find out if you are eligible for a free vaccine, ask your doctor or pharmacist, or call

HealthLink BC at 811.

U.S. health care facilities have similar rules and voluntary compliance of staff members is very high, said Kendall, who has been pushing for the restriction for some time. Health employers now have the option of progressive discipline to make sure employees protect against passing on influenza virus to vulnerable patients.

“We obviously hope it won’t come to that, because we believe that health care workers do care for their patients,” Kendall said.

The Health Sciences Association, a union representing lab techs and other specialists in the health care system, had argued its members were entitled to make their own decision on whether to get the annual vaccine.

It is formulated each year by international health authorities, based on the dominant strains of influenza that are found around the world.

Kendall said the arbitrator accepted research findings from the University of Minnesota that found the vaccine to be 90 per cent effective in years when it is a “good match” with the virus strain that emerges dur-

ing winter.

The study found that a less accurate match causes the effectiveness

to drop as low as 40 per cent, but Kendall noted that is better than zero protection, which is what

skipping the flu shot provides.

Arbitrator Robert Diebolt wrote that given

the seriousness of influenza, a severe respiratory condition that causes death in frail elderly

people each winter, increasing immunization protection is a reasonable policy.

NEW DELTA BRIDGE

Make it a ‘green’ span

RAESIDE

W

ith a much-needed replacement for the George Massey Tunnel scheduled to start construction in 2017, a period of great change looms for Delta.

The project, which could cost in the neighbourhood of $3 billion, will help expedite traffic and trade throughout the region and position Delta as an ideal location for investment.

The plan, which is still very much in its infancy, calls for the removal of the existing tunnel, with a bridge to be built over the same route. The removal of the tunnel will allow for deeper dredging of the Fraser River, opening the route for shipping traffic.

While this new piece of infrastructure has the potential to create massive economic benefits for the region, there is also concern about the project’s effects on the environment.

And rightly so. These concerns must be top of mind for the province as it moves forward with the design of the new bridge.

For starters, the construction of the new span will, in all likelihood, result in the loss of some farmland in Delta. Should this be the case, it is imperative the province not merely replace lands in the Agricultural Land Reserve lost to construction, but significantly add to local ALR lands.

There are also worries about the type of shipping traffic the bridge will bring to the Fraser River.

Given the sensitive nature of the Fraser River estuary, and its importance to the commercial fishing industry, it doesn’t make sense to allow oil tankers up the river, and the citizens of Delta and Richmond won’t stand for it.

Container ships are another matter, however, as they do not pose nearly the same kinds of environmental risks.

Currently Panamax-size vessels already sail up to Fraser Surrey Docks, but they can’t be fully loaded because of the channel depth at the tunnel. Deeper dredging would allow fully loaded container ships to offload upriver, resulting in fewer trips to deliver the same amount of goods. Upriver unloading would also reduce truck travel throughout the Lower Mainland by allowing goods to be offloaded closer to market.

Whatever form the George Massey Tunnel replacement takes, it must make good sense environmentally, as well as economically.

again struggling to climb out of deep operating deficits, it’s a good time for the release of Mark Milke’s book “Tax Me, I’m Canadian.”

An update of the same title published 12 years ago, the book retains the history of taxes in Canada, detailing how Canada’s tax system was initially built to mimic the United States system in the late 19th century.

Beyond the history, it is mostly new material. Included are chapters on the global meltdown of 2009, the surge of pension liabilities as the baby boomers retire and the flawed logic behind the “Occupy” and “Idle No More” protests.

Some readers will immediately note that Milke works for the Fraser Institute and was previously B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation. But the book is not just an argument for cutting taxes. It also dismantles persistent myths that income taxes are illegal, and launches a broadside on what Milke calls “Canada’s corporate welfare carnival.”

Many people will be able to identify some top names in the government subsidy game:

higher wages for better benefits and job security. Now their wages are generally higher, and taxpayers have to cover their personal pension contributions (as a portion of those wages) as well as the employer contributions, plus the “defined benefit” payout, which has to be subsidized far beyond what the pension fund can support.

On the debt-financed welfare state, there are memorable observations, like this one: “For the record, the generous Quebec welfare state and its ostensibly more progressive model are paid for in part with the taxes of other Canadians; Quebec is merely the North American equivalent of Greece.”

The recent B.C. political crisis over adoption of the Harmonized Sales Tax showed that there is too much emotion and too little knowledge about how taxes work. This book is a step towards addressing that.

Surrey/North Delta Leader 7

Hydro What happened to citizen engagement? fees are punitive THEY HOPE you will just go away.

IT APPEARS TO ME that BC Hydro

is uttering testimonial inexactitudes every time they speak.

Why is it that now, with only 60,000 “regular” meters still in operation, they need 200 to 500 more meter-checkers? How many meter-checkers were they using when they had to monitor everyone before the changeover? It seems to me the amount of resources needed to monitor the regular meters should be drastically reduced.

How is it after having the ability to estimate my meter (same one) for the last 38 years, they cannot now estimate it four times a year and annually inspect it?

How is it that for 38 years there was no charge for meter readings and now the “hold-outs” are being charged $35?

I suggest that BC Hydro is not “compensating” for non-transmitting meters, but are penalizing customers for not conforming.

Electricity theft will still happen and the folks who are still “balking” are not likely to be the ones that are “stealing.”

All these “fees” are punitive and are only meant to force the rest of us who have legitimate concerns to fall in line.

The City of Surrey does not want you to talk about the densification of Grandview Heights and the planned build out of Area #4 as it is known. As a taxpayer, my instincts tell me that city staff has circled the wagons on this one.

I say this having participated in several Citizen Advisory Committees over the years. Surrey’s stated goal for this committee is as follows.

The mandate of the Citizen’s Advisory Committee (CAC) is to: • Bring local knowledge to the planning process for a Neighbourhood Concept Plan (NCP) for the Grandview Heights Area #4; • Work co-operatively and constructively in the interests of the Grandview Heights NCP Area #4 as a whole; • Act as a liaison between the residents/property owners of Grandview Heights NCP Area #4 and other Grandview Heights communities, and city staff.

The reality is, there are precious few individuals with local knowledge actually allowed to participate, and only then if you are a successful applicant to the process.

Cooperation and constructive input is measured against a majority owners’ group consisting of developers, home builders, local realtors and investors.

Information sharing is restricted to the attendees only, which effectively rules out any information shared with other Grandview Heights communities.

Coun. Barinder Rasode was quoted as saying, “At this point I’m seriously considering the questions raised by community members who were part of the advisory committee and neighbouring community associations. What’s the need to go forward with (Area) 4 when other areas of the city are not fully developed?”

What is missing, however, is the fact you and I cannot comment on, question, or challenge

this mega development because Neighbourhood Concept Plans are not subject to public hearings.

Former councillor Bob Bose said, “Council has compromised itself in terms of public accountability, and citizens’ advisory committees are largely stakeholder groups with a vested interest in the developments – there’s no balance in terms of community involvement.”

For whatever reasons, the City of Surrey is moving away from its principled approach based on citizen engagement and public transparency.

This is at a time when voter turnout and public participation is at an all-time low.

South Surrey residents are however, an exception. They speak, listen, and vote on all matters that affect their community. As in the past, they have spoken loudly and clearly on the need to preserve their unique community.

Going back to the future is not where any of us want to be.

Use of unregulated fireworks rampant I READ THE LETTER to the editor

We’ve lost a leader I WAS saddened by the news

that Chief Ernie Campbell of the Musqueam First Nation has passed away.

He was a visionary leader of the Musqueam and a community leader in Vancouver and British Columbia.

His contributions made a significant difference and the leadership that he provided to the 2010 Winter Olympics helped put Canada on the map.

Over the years I was fortunate to meet Ernie to discuss issues that affected Vancouver Quadra, where the are located. He will be missed.

Though Surrey has bylaws restricting the use of fireworks year round, a letter writer says those rules aren’t enforced during Halloween and Diwali.

from Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet (The Leader, Oct. 24) with much interest, especially the paragraph concerning the restrictions for fireworks in the City of Surrey.

While I understand the use of fireworks has been restricted since 2005, I still find that the displays of unregulated fireworks and firecrackers run rampant in our Newton neighbourhood for at least a week before Halloween and for a week or so afterwards – taking into account whether Diwali occurs around the same time. Both the night of Halloween and the night of Diwali are the worst.

Last Halloween evening, I telephoned the RCMP on several occasions to complain about the use of fireworks – which began at 4 p.m. and continued well into the wee hours of the morning. The response from the RCMP was that “there was nothing they could do.” I do hope their response will be different this year.

As a member of Partners in Parks, I pick up the litter in our local park and for a week after Halloween, I can easily fill up several garbage bags with firework sticks left in the ground. Perhaps the RCMP could patrol our parks on Halloween/Diwali nights ?

BCTF ruining the quality of education RE: “SOCIAL JUSTICE as student indoctrina-

tion,” B.C. Views, The Leader, Oct. 22.

Great column. I consider this one as one of the most important ones that Tom Fletcher has written, alongside the one about “science gives way to superstition”.

If the B.C. Teachers’ Federation advocates a collectivist ideology such as socialism, the chances of saving our children from the influence of dangerous, very militant, egalitarian philosophy are slim.

History proves that people with Marxist/ socialist ideas tortured and killed tens of millions of people in the 20th century and continue to spread injustice, hunger and death in countries like China, North Korea and in much of central American and African countries.

People are risking their lives and careers in order to come to Canada and escape the grinding poverty and psychopathic socialist leaders are discovering that many Canadians are actively seeking to install the same socialist policies that ruined their old countries.

The question we need to ask is: Do we want our children to build a strong and free nation which is an example for the rest of the (bankrupt) world, or feed the unsustainable appetite of the welfare state and crony politicians who exist, because the access to virtually unlimited taxpayer money is just a “favour” away?

BCTF is playing with fire when they teach our children to uphold the false axioms of failed and dangerous political ideology, thus they are doing precisely the opposite things

from what we are paying them to do.

I my opinion, public institutions shouldn’t be able to unionize at all, because of easy access to politicians with “connections” who are eager to subsidize whatever and whoever (with taxpayer money) in exchange for votes or favours.

Under the banner of “subsidized education for all,” BCTF ruins Canada’s future by legally choking off the competition in the education market, thus lowering the quality of education and increasing the overall cost at taxpayers’ expense – just like their equivalents ruined Greece, Italy, Portugal, Russia, North Korea and countless other “people’s states” all over the globe.

Views mixed over arts hub plan for South Surrey Project features ‘landmark’ highrise

Last day for orders in time for Christmas is Nov 11th

by Alex Browne ABOUT 200 people

packed the Rotary Field House last Tuesday to learn more about a proposed residentialtower development that advocates believe could help create a cultural hub in South Surrey.

Among the crowd, attitudes seemed split between those excited about the potential of the proposed amenities – among them a 350-seat performing-arts centre – and those wary of the impact of two towers, one 26 storeys and the other 19, at the corner of 152 Street and 19 Avenue.

The as-yet unnamed project, still in the design proposal stage, would be a co-operative development of the Reifel Cook Group and the Surrey City Development Corporation, each owners of lots that would be combined for the project.

In response to questions from the crowd, architect Patrick Cotter said the project would provide about 300 units.

In his presentation, he pointed out the site is in an area of the Semiahmoo Town Centre plan identified as eligible for bonus density in return for cultural amenities, and is one of three locations where a “landmark” tower could be able to exceed a 20-storey limit.

He said the current plan is for towers of different heights “offset to provide daylight and view areas.”

Four-storey “podiums” for the towers would include retail and office space, he said, while a pedestrian mews along 152 Street would be an adjunct to shopping and a cafe/gallery space.

Nearly 600 underground parking spaces on three-and-a-half levels are also proposed.

Cotter said such development would leverage provision of more rapid transit for the area – as it allows the city to take more road allowances for necessary widening of the streets.

The proposed performing arts centre would be a full proscenium theatre (a

“Whether what they’re offering is of any significance, I doubt,” he said. “It seems like a bit of a fob – here, guys, let us build these highrise towers and we’ll give you some arts facilities.”

Cann noted that Bosa’s Miramar Village development in White Rock was also described as the site of an art centre in its early stages, but evolved into a more broadly defined community centre.

Economic Summit (SRES) has been delayed for a few months because the city couldn’t find the keynote speaker it wanted for the event.

The city had been wooing former U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, but at the last

The SRES has now been pushed forward to February 2014, and Coun. Linda Hepner says another speaker has nearly been secured for the event.

Previous speakers have included the likes of former U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and George

third year and this time, organizers are hoping to raise even more money than last year to help women and children escaping unsafe situations.

For the past two years, Royal LePage Coronation Park has hosted a “Shopping Extravaganza” to generate funds for the Surrey Women’s Centre.

This year, the event is taking place on Nov. 14.

The first year raised $1,800 and last year brought in $5,700 – a total organizers hope to top.

The evening features food, drink, raffles, 50/50 draw, toonie toss, balloon pop, and more, with all proceeds benefiting the women’s centre, which provides services to victims of family violence.

An array of vendors, selling everything from jewelry and candles to food items, will also donate a portion from their sales.

The Shopping Extravaganza takes place Nov. 14, 6-9 p.m. at Eaglequest Coyote Creek Golf, 7778 152 St. For more information call 604-581-3838.

Metro to pay $3M more for incinerator ash disposal Failed cadmium tests driving up region’s garbage costs

by Jeff Nagel

METRO VANCOUVER is

searching for a cheaper place to dump fly ash from its Burnaby garbage incinerator instead of the current method of trucking it almost 900 kilometres to a landfill near Hinton, Alberta.

The fly ash – taken from scrubbers in the plant’s stack – used to go to the Cache Creek Regional Landfill, but the regional district has been unable to dump it there since tests in September of 2012 revealed higher than acceptable levels of leachable cadmium in some loads.

The regional district estimates it will pay $3 million more in 2014 for ash management costs as a result of the higher cost of trucking and landfilling the fly ash, as well as increased costs of landfilling bottom ash, which also began failing tests recently.

“It’s definitely substantial,” Metro solid waste general manager Paul Henderson said.

“The costs of fly ash management are more than double what they

BLACK PRESS FILE PHOTO

A garbage truck enters Burnaby’s waste-toenergy incinerator. previously were.”

Metro is seeking bids from other landfills to take the fly ash for at least three years and expects to award a long-term contract by the end of the year.

Henderson said that should reduce the costs somewhat compared to the more expensive month-to-month disposal arrangement at Hinton.

Asked why Metro doesn’t dump the fly ash at the Vancouver Landfill

in Delta, Henderson said there’s no regulatory reason not to do so but Metro’s practice has been to use an industrial landfill specifically authorized to take incinerator ash.

He said Metro has concluded after continuous testing over the past year since the earlier test failures that fly ash from the incinerator is within regulatory levels.

“That and other information brings us to the conclusion that there was no hazardous waste

ever delivered and that it was simply a laboratory error,” Henderson said.

An independent consultant is reviewing all the findings and has yet to make recommendations on what to do with the fly ash that failed tests and is still at the Cache Creek landfill.

Metro Vancouver has also been forced to significantly increase testing of the incinerator’s bottom ash after tests in April showed it also had high levels of cadmium.

In the past that bottom ash – 50,000 tonnes per year – had been used mainly as a road construction additive.

It’s now mostly being landfilled at the Vancouver Landfill, although a few loads found to have more than twice the regulatory limit for cadmium have been separately stockpiled for closer analysis.

Metro officials believe batteries, particularly rechargeables that power electronic devices, are the main source of rising levels of cadmium in the region’s waste stream.

Metro also expects to spend more than

$300,000 on consultations and public engagement in 2014 for various projects – including the planned construction of a new waste-to-energy

plant, development of a new residential drop-off centre for recyclables in Surrey and plans for a broader ban on organic waste dumping in 2015.

The additional spending won’t have a major impact on the garbage tipping fee, which will rise $1 to $108 per tonne next year.

The Haunted Forest Scream Train runs from 6:30-10 p.m. nightly until Thursday, Oct. 31 – Halloween night, surprisingly one of the best nights to go for a fright if you’re trying to avoid a crowd.

The terrifying Chainsaw Charlie and his trusty Husqvarna is back, along with the other members of the walking dead, who roam every platform of the Scream Train – passengers are advised to keep well inside the car if they don’t want to lose a leg or arm.

Scary sounds and special effects emanating from the inky darkness of the forest creates a truly visceral experience.

Turnovers lead to two losses for Eagles BCHL team falls to Chilliwack Chiefs, West Kelowna Warriors

by Nick Greenizan INCONSISTENCY

continues to plague the Surrey Eagles, who were saddled with two more losses on the weekend.

On Friday, the Eagles lost 3-2 on the road to their BC Hockey League rival Chilliwack Chiefs, and Saturday at South Surrey Arena, fell 5-3 to the visiting West

Kelowna Warriors. In both contests, the Eagles were either tied or ahead in the third period, before coughing up points to the opposition.

“We’re just a little inconsistent right now – turning over the puck too much,” said Eagles head coach Peter Schaefer.

“And when you’re constantly turning it over – not just in the defensive zone but on offence, too – it’s tough to get much going.”

Against Chilliwack Friday, the game was knotted 2-2 after 40 minutes, until Chiefs’ leading scorer Austin Plevy scored a shorthanded goal 9:52 into the third period to give the home team the lead.

Joseph Drapluk and captain Brett Mulcahy scored for the Eagles, while goaltender Bo Didur was tagged with the loss in net.

The following night, against the Warriors, Surrey held a 3-2 lead heading into the final frame – on goals from

GARRETT JAMES / CONTRIBUTOR

Brett Mennear of the West Kelowna Warriors can’t get a puck past Surrey Eagles goalie Devon Fordyce during Saturday’s BCHL game.

Kale Bennett, Austin Ferguson and Mulcahy – but West Kelowna tied the game on a pair of power-play goals, and then Tyson Dallman, who scored the tying goal, fired home the winner with less than two minutes to go.

“We just have to get back to doing the simple things right. Because when you do the small

things, right, they turn into big things, and that’s when you start to get some wins,” Schaefer said.

“Right now we’re not getting the bounces, but we don’t deserve to get them right now.”

Devon Fordyce took the loss in net for the Eagles.

The Eagles have a 7-10-1 record as they

head into November, and site fourth in the BCHL’s Mainland Division. By not picking up a point last weekend, they fell nine points back of the division-leading Langley Rivermen, who won twice.

The Eagles are at home for two games this weekend. On Friday, they host the Prince George Spruce

Kings and Saturday, the Alberni Valley Bulldogs come to town. Both games start at 7 p.m.

BLUE LINES: The brief logjam in the Surrey Eagles’ crease has been settled.

Last week, the Eagles dealt former starting goaltender Victor Adamo to the St. Michael’s Buzzers of the Ontario Junior Hockey League for future considerations.

Adamo, 20, became expendable when the team picked up 19-yearold Fordyce from the Brooks Bandits earlier this month.

While Adamo had been mostly solid in net for Surrey, Schaefer said the move was made to increase roster flexibility, as dealing Adamo frees up one of six 20-year-old spots on the roster.

With five other 20-year-olds still on the roster, the trade allows the Eagles to move defenceman Danny Vlanich – who turns 20 Nov. 25 – from the reserve roster to the regular roster.

Winless in two, Devils sink further into in basement Junior B team six points out of playoff position

by Rick Kupchuk THE NORTH Delta Devils lost

BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER

Mitch Newsome of Surrey scored three times for the Valley West Hawks last weekend.

twice in regulation time last week, and are quickly falling out of the race for a playoff position in the Pacific Junior Hockey League.

The Devils fell 5-3 to the Ridge Meadows Flames Friday night in Maple Ridge, then dropped a 6-3 decision to the Richmond Devils Saturday on home ice in the Sungod Arena.

North Delta has a 4-9-1 (won-lost-tied) record, and is now six points back of the fourth place North Vancouver Wolf Pack in the five-

Hawks drop a pair, fall from first place A PAIR OF losses to the

defending provincial champions has dropped the Valley West Hawks from first to fourth place in the BC Hockey Major Midget League.

The Hawks fell to the Vancouver Giants 5-3 Saturday morning at the Langley Events Centre, then dropped a 4-2 decision in a rematch Sunday in Burnaby.

With an 8-4-0 (wonlost-tied) record, Valley West trails the Okanagan Rockets by two points, and the Giants and Vancouver Chiefs by one.

The Giants led 1-0 after one period, and were up 4-0 late in the second period before Mitch Newsome of Surrey got the Hawks on the scoreboard. Vancouver made it 5-1 early in the third period, before White Rock’s Devante Stephens and Newsome replied for Valley West.

Sunday’s rematch was in doubt until the Giants broke a 1-1 tie with two

goals in the third period.

Newsome had both goals for Valley West, the second pulling the Hawks to within a goal at 3-2 with two minutes to go.

The Giants clinched the game with an empty net goal.

It was a similar story Saturday, with the Devils failing to score on their only powerplay chance, while the Sockeyes had one goal on six chances with a man advantage.

Richmond led 3-0 after one period, and 4-2 after 40 minutes. Catchpole, Landen Matechuk and Shane Kumar were the goal scorers for the Devils, who will play Thursday night on the road against the Port Moody Panthers.

They will be at home Saturday at Sungod for a 7:15 p.m. game against the Wolf Pack.

The Devils had the better powerplay in Friday’s game against the Flame in Maple Ridge, but it wasn’t enough to get the win. Ridge Meadows held a 35-26 shots on goal advantage, and had period leads of 1-0 and 5-0 before the visitors netted three goals in a six-minute span early in the third period.

Josh Smith, Tristan Craighead and Colin Catchpole scored for the Devils, who were two-for-three on the powerplay. They killed off seven of eight shorthanded situations.

The Hawks will face-off twice against the 2-7-1 Fraser Valley Thunderbirds next weekend, with games Saturday in Abbotsford and Sunday at 3 p.m. at the Langley Events Centre.

Reimer in hall of fame

A fun fitness challenge

Retired world champion and Olympic swimmer honoured

If you think conquering cancer is worth sweating over, JOIN US!

by Jennifer Lang RETIRED WORLD

championship medalist and Olympian Brittany Reimer has another honour to add to her list of achievements.

She’s one of three people who were inducted into the B.C. Swimming Hall of Fame last month.

Reimer, 25, received the honour Sept. 21 at a joint awards banquet hosted by the British Columbia Swim Coaches Association and Swim BC in Whistler, where she was introduced by her former Surrey Knights Swim Club coach, Cory Beatt.

Beatt spoke of her undying determination, exemplified by her “rather modest initial performances” at the provincial, Western Canadian and national level, describing how in each arena she rose to the top.

It’s a quality that shone through early on, when she found herself on the bottom rung

of the Surrey Knights at age 10, having left the Cloverdale Tritons Swim Club.

“It was like starting from scratch again,” Reimer recalled. “I was starting with new kids, a new team.”

Asked where she found that determination that made her a champion, she says it’s partly from her parents.

Her dad is “super hard-working,” she says, and her mom is a cancer survivor who was first diagnosed when Reimer was just age seven or so.

“I don’t know if it’s related. Who knows?” she says. “It’s part of that don’t-give-up, keep-moving-forward attitude.”

She also cites the guiding influence of her Knights coach (“Cory was like a second father to me, because I saw him, like, four hours a day”), former teammates and others, all working to support her goals.

Reimer’s determina-

Brittany Reimer called the ‘Queen of distance swimming in Canada from 2003 to 2007.’ tion pushed her all the way to the national team, where she was the youngest member by far. Despite her age, she was a star, in 2003 placing fourth in 800 freestyle and sixth in 1,500 freestyle at the world championships.

In reporting Reimer’s induction, SwimSwam. com called her “The Queen of distance swimming in Canada from 2003 to 2007.”

She was just 16 when she competed in the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. She finished in 17th spot in the 800m freestyle – not quite the medal she’d been working for, but more success lay

ahead.

She won silver in the 800 and bronze in the 1,500m at the 2005 World Aquatic Championships in Montreal.

The times she posted – 8:27.59 in the 800 and 16:07.73 in the 1,500 remain the Canadian records.

“I think they’re the oldest, now, on the books. I want someone to break them,” she says, so they can “have that experience for themselves.”

She has no regrets about retiring at a relatively young age.

“I felt like, for my life, I had finished that chapter,” she says.

“I knew I had the potential to move on to something else. It’s so much work, and it’s so hard on your body.

When you’re done, you’re done.”

She’s still grateful for the support of Cloverdale residents, who helped ensure her parents were able to travel to Greece to watch her in Athens.

A big fundraiser was held at her school, Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary.

“I wouldn’t have gone where I did if we didn’t have the support of everybody else around us,” she says.

“I’m just so lucky to have been at the level I was in my sport. I got the opportunity to meet so many people.”
