Port Mann won’t have 10 lanes when toll doubles Highway 1 lanes will reduce congestion, justify $3 fee: Officials

by Jeff Nagel won’t have all 10 lanes open when the toll that most drivers pay doubles to $3 per crossing in a few weeks.

Eighty per cent of motorists who use the bridge signed up early enough after it opened in December of 2012 that they’ve been paying $1.50 per crossing thanks to a 50 Max Logan year-long per cent discount.

That runs out next month but the bridge will still have only eight lanes open to traffic until next summer.

“Drivers sail over the bridge right now.”

Surrey tax bills going up City to discuss its 2014 budget, which includes 12 new cops, but no firefighters or bylaw officers

by Kevin Diakiw SURREY IS planning a hike in taxes and utili-

ties next year of more than $100.

The city is gearing up to consider its 2014 budget – a document that right now includes an increase of $113 to the owner of the average home with an estimated value of $643,600.

As outlined in its five-year plan last year, Surrey is considering a 2.9-per-cent property tax hike ($44.40), along with a one-per-cent road levy ($15.31), for a total tax increase of $59.71.

It will bring the property taxes on the average home to $1,590.

Police seek witnesses to hit-and-run that badly hurt senior Man, 77, suffered broken pelvis, fractured hip and dislocated shoulder

by Kevin Diakiw DELTA POLICE have released a video showing a

hit-and-run collision that left a 77-year-old man in hospital with serious injuries.

The North Delta senior is in hospital with a broken pelvis, fractured hip and dislocated shoulder after being struck by a truck that then took off.

On Oct. 31 at about 7 a.m., Delta Police responded to 72 Avenue and Scott Road for a report of a hit-and-run involving a pedestrian.

The Indo-Canadian man was crossing at a marked crosswalk when he was hit by a white, westbound pick-up truck.

The driver of the pick-up truck continued to drive away down 72 Avenue toward Highway 91.

On Thursday, police released an intersection video showing the collision.

It shows what police believe to be a white 1982 to 1992 Chevrolet S10 pick-up truck with aftermarket rims, waiting to turn left to go west on 72 Avenue. As the Sarah Swallow truck turned, it hit a man in crossing at the light.

Delta Police are appealing to the public to watch the video and to contact them if they have any information about this incident or if they have seen or know the whereabouts of this vehicle.

“We believe that the collision was an accident and not a deliberately malicious act,” Delta Police Acting Sgt. Sarah Swallow said. “We understand you may be under a great deal of stress and unsure what to do… we urge you to come forward to tell us your side of what happened.”

Any witnesses to the collision, or anyone with any information about this incident, is asked to contact the Delta Police at 604-946-4411.

The video can be viewed at surreyleader.com (See story “Senior plowed down in hit-and-run in North Delta in the News category).

The Port Mann Bridge will have only eight of its 10 lanes open to traffic until next summer. The discount on tolls will expire some time in December, and then the full $3 tolls (each way) will kick in.

Bridge: Snow sweepers not yet installed on cables From page 1 Transportation Investment Corp. spokesman Max Logan said that’s how long it’s expected to take to dismantle the old Port Mann Bridge and complete work to connect the final two outer lanes to the bridge approaches.

Charging full tolls on schedule is justified, he said, because all the extra lanes of the Highway 1 improvement project other than the bridge itself will be open in December through Coquitlam and Burnaby.

Since that’s where the bottleneck is, Logan said, drivers should notice a huge difference in congestion relief in return for the higher price of using the bridge.

“Drivers sail over the bridge right now,” Logan said. “Where they start to slow down is where they enter Coquitlam. So it’s really about being able to provide the full travel time savings.”

Logan wasn’t able to give an exact date for when the discount will expire and the $3 tolls kick in.

He said that will only happen when additional lanes through to the Cassiar Tunnel fully open, adding that’s still expected to be sometime in early December.

The agreement covering the bridge operations allows tolls to be

raised for inflation each year, but Logan said the first such increase won’t happen before December of 2014.

When all the bridge lanes are open next year they will also include dedicated local connection lanes that allow drivers to go between Coquitlam and Surrey without merging with general Highway 1 traffic.

“It will cut down on weaving and lane changing on the bridge,” Logan added.

The demolition of the old bridge is proceeding as planned, and crews will begin to dismantle the large iconic orange arch over the next couple of months.

Logan said engineers have also redesigned the system of brushes and scrapers that are winched up and down the cables in the event of snow and ice build-up to prevent any repeat of last winter’s notorious incident of ice bombs falling onto cars.

The sweeper system isn’t yet reinstalled, but Logan said it will be in place within a couple of weeks before any risk of snow.

ICBC spokesman Adam Grossman said 350 claims were received for vehicle damage from the Dec. 19 falling ice episode and $400,000 was paid out.

The cable-clearing system has been paid for by the bridge’s builder, at no cost to taxpayers.

Lost photos found and retrieved Family ‘excited’ to get valued images back after house fire

by Evan Seal THE MYSTERY of the missing

Colleen and Dale Poirier of Calgary are the couple in a wedding picture that was among a box of photos found by a Guildford couple.

pictures has been solved.

The Leader ran a story Nov. 5 (“Are you missing a box of family photos?”) about a Guildford couple who, after a flood in their home, had picked up all their belongings from a local restoration company only to find a box of photos that were not theirs.

After spending more than a year looking for the owners of the

photos, Jim and Esther contacted The Leader for help.

Following the story and a selection of photos being published both online and in print, Colleen Poirier, who now lives in Calgary, received a call from her brother saying he had seen her wedding photo in The Leader.

The Poirier family home in Panorama was destroyed by fire in 2005 and all their belongings were put into storage. But after the year-long restoration, the

family picked up all their boxes but just assumed many of the photos had been destroyed.

On Thursday, Jim and Esther handed over the photos to their rightful owners.

“My mother is so excited,” said Tamara Poirier, who lives in Surrey and is Colleen’s sister-in-law.

“She’s having a happy time today going through all the pictures.” eseal@surreyleader.com

Campaign launched to prevent theft from cars

Visit us on facebook

in Surrey, 30,000 vehicles were checked out to see if they contained valuables.

However, criminals weren’t the ones shopping for things to steal, Mounties and Surrey Crime Prevention volunteers were making sure the cars were safe from would-be crooks.

In all, the teams handed out 10,000 notices to people leaving valuables in their cars.

The most common items found in plain view in vehicles were bags, backpacks or purses, followed by sunglasses and electronic devices.

The most surprising items were two sets of keys in the ignition.

Royal Heights Park Public Open House Please join us for a Public Open House. The purpose of the Open House is to provide information and to collect community feedback for proposed renovations to Royal Heights Park.

The preliminary plan includes potential improvements such as an update to the playground and a paved walking loop. This information was received through informal community feedback.

The results are from the first month of a program called Protect It, Lock It, Keep It. “I am very proud of this campaign because it empowers our volunteers, officers, and citizens to have a direct impact on the number of thefts from vehicles and thefts of vehicles,” said Surrey RCMP Officer in Charge Chief Supt. Bill Fordy.

“To me, one of the most powerful things we can equip our residents with is the knowledge on how to keep themselves and their families safe.”

The Protect It, Lock It, Keep It campaign runs until Dec. 2 and is focused on making people more conscious about securing their vehicles and ensuring they keep valuables out of their cars – or at least safely locked up and out of sight.

launched Project Horseshoe to start November, named after the U-shaped diagram analysis of Delta’s most notorious traffic collision locations.

After studying three years of available traffic data, the Delta Police Traffic Section found the highest collision locations are in North Delta along 72 Avenue, Nordel Way, and the section of 120 Street between these routes.

Police say these collisions are likely due to the fact the roads serve as collector routes for rush hour traffic travelling to and from various areas across the Lower Mainland.

“The primary goal of our traffic section is to improve public safety,” said Delta Police Traffic Sgt. Ryan Hall.

Fines for the top highrisk driving behaviours start at $167 and can go as high as $483.

Surrey: Budget talks Nov. 18 From page 1

In addition, homeowners will be hit with a host of utility increases, including water ($19.39); sewer ($19.26); a parcel tax for pipe repair, pumping stations, etc. ($13); and an increase in garbage hauling of $2 – for a total utility hike of $53.62.

The total cost of utilities on the average home will be $1,170.

The total new cost of taxes and utilities on the average Surrey home valued at $643,600 will be $2,760, or $3,170 if the home has a secondary suite.

Extra operating costs expected next year include 12 additional RCMP members, with five more municipal support workers.

There will be no new hires for firefighting, bylaw enforcement, or animal control.

Labour contract increases next year are expected to amount to $9 million, while third-party contracts are expected to jump by $2.41 million.

Surrey is planning to budget $1 million for new public facilities next year, add $1.10 million worth of new programs, and increase contributions to capital and technology replacement by $1.5 million.

The $763-million budget will be discussed by the city’s finance committee, which includes all of council, on Nov. 18.

‘No more shooting,’ victim yelled Man shot in Surrey by police officer in gang enforcement unit

by Kevin Diakiw

The victim, a 28-year-old man named Michael, told CTV News he had left a donair restaurant where was having dinner with friends when the police vehicle came roaring up.

He said he was in the car and heard police yell, “freeze.”

Sitting in the back seat, he heard glass shatter, and felt a burning in his chest. He was pulled out of the window by police, and he discovered he’d been shot.

Fix said he heard the “pop” of a gun

A MAN was in hospital Friday after

Witness Dean Fix was at 148 Street and 108 Avenue just after 4:30 p.m. when he saw a blue police car come “screaming right in with lights flashing” up to another vehicle.

going off, then heard the screaming of a man saying, “No more shooting.”

It’s believed there were three men in the car, and that it was a man in the back seat that was hit by the police bullet. The other two have been taken into custody.

Don Brookes was also nearby and heard the bang of a gunshot.

He heard what he assumed was the gunshot victim yelling “it hurts.”

Brookes said he knows there’s a fair amount of drug activity in the

99

neighbourhood, but says it’s usually pretty quiet.

The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) has been called in to investigate the shooting.

Michael told CTV there were no firearms or drugs in the car, only a couple of coolers he was carrying.

However, Surrey RCMP have launched a parallel drug investigation resulting from the incident.

The investigations continue. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

WOMAN’S MURDER

A loss for us all

RAESIDE

T

he judgmental attitudes of our society are deeply ingrained.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team’s announcement Nov. 4 of the identification of the body of a woman discovered in a park on the Surrey-Langley border was – given the grim circumstances and the public’s right to know – done with as much taste and discretion as possible.

The death of Lisa Ann Zielke is a tragic fact. Her murder led to other facts about her life becoming public – that she was a sex-trade worker who was drugdependent.

Those facts shouldn’t – by all that’s right – serve as her only epitaph. It’s likely they will, at least in the minds of those who never knew her.

It’s likely, too, that many of us who read the story had the same unspoken reaction. A sex-trade worker – sure. Drug-dependent – of course. Body discovered in a park – naturally.

But it’s when we think like this that we show our own want of compassion. For the loss of a human life in this manner should never be rationalized.

Even the terminology – “known to be living a high-risk lifestyle” – is, in itself, implicitly judgmental. Such terminology may be derived from observation; from bitter, first-hand, pragmatic experience of those who have seen far too many similar cases. But it can never be offered as tacit justification of a violent end.

We only lately reached a point as a society when we have begun to understand that how a woman acts, or dresses, or presents herself can never be seen as an excuse for a violent crime against her. We have drawn that line.

But we need to draw another line when it comes to the death of a sex-trade worker.

Instead of breathing a collective sigh of relief that the victim didn’t turn out to be a “normal” suburban mother, child, sister or spouse, we should be reaffirming that, for our society, any homicide at all is unacceptable.

There is not, nor can there ever be, anyone in a just society who is written off or viewed as disposable. To descend to that level of insensitivity is to descend to the level of a Robert Pickton – and, arguably, it’s our own prejudices that allowed him to function as long as he did.

The dead woman was a human being, and what course her life took, and why, is immaterial. By extension, she is mother, child, sister and spouse to us all.

The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder.

eaction was swift and scattered after the “framework agreement” on new oil pipelines announced last week by B.C. Premier Christy Clark and Alberta Premier Alison Redford.

First, here’s what it doesn’t mean.

“B.C. blinked,” according to one Toronto commentator, based on the popular notion that B.C. gave up its claim to a share of Alberta’s resource royalties from heavy oil.

Clark never made such a claim, so it would be difficult to give it up.

Her often-repeated condition of a “fair share” of revenues from any new oil pipelines is purposely vague, but after repeated protests from Alberta, Clark clarified as far back as last June that provincial royalties are not on the table. There is no constitutional way to make such a demand, a point Redford has made several times.

NDP leader Adrian Dix and the usual chorus of professional protesters claimed that Clark flip-flopped, opposing the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal before the election and then embracing it once she was re-elected.

promises a final version next spring. Oh, and Quebec refuses to participate.

Ottawa has sole jurisdiction over interprovincial projects such as Northern Gateway and the proposal by Kinder Morgan Canada to expand the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline to Burnaby and refineries in Washington.

If there is to be some extra revenue for B.C. from oil traffic, it could theoretically take the form of a toll on pipelines. Redford pointed out the problem with that idea in her speech to an energy forum in Vancouver last week.

She noted that 42 per cent of B.C. natural gas is piped through Alberta to markets. If B.C. can toll Alberta oil, the same could be done with B.C. gas.

None of B.C.’s five conditions has yet been met. Legally, they don’t have to be, except for the one about accommodating aboriginal title.

Park-and- More tanker traffic will add to the problem ride lot is not safe RE: “B.C. OIL spill study misinterpreted,”

AS THE LATEST victim in the

current rash of “smash and grab” incidents at the park-and-ride lot at 103 Avenue and 160 Street near the Port Mann Bridge, I suggest that this lot be shut down.

According to authorities, there are several incidents of break-ins to vehicles at this lot each week, and in spite of the lighting and the security camera that has been installed, the vandalism and thefts continue. The tow truck driver who towed my damaged vehicle admitted that he is called to that same lot weekly.

TransLink advertises the park-and-ride as a “safe and convenient” alternative, but my experience is that park-and-ride is dangerous, and results in damage to one’s vehicle, expensive repair bills, and the loss of personal items.

B.C. Views, Oct. 22.

My response to Tom Fletcher’s various columns on oil energy use, oil transportation, and related subjects is as predictable as his position on the topics.

Though he often seem to take a position by taking issue with those who have issues with the whole business, this column suggests that if no one has been concerned about our terribly inadequate spill response capability while bulk crude-laden tankers have plied our coast for the past 40 years, then they have no business being concerned about new tankers entering the waterways.

It seems to me that on just about any topic that becomes a public concern, there is a history about which we at first know lit-

tle or nothing, followed by a growing awareness, which at some point hits the radar, then possibly the fan. Citing past ignorance or apathy is no argument against the expressions of present or future concern.

And to be fair, many of those who have become concerned about oil tanker traffic were very young or not born when the whole business started. Perhaps some oldtimers object to that.

In the case of oil transportation on our coast, Fletcher has admitted that oil spill response is inadequate.

My response is to say now that we have woken up, we should take two positions: beef up our response capabilities to be able to better handle existing traffic, and don’t multiply the probability of an accident by

adding new tanker traffic.

Perhaps Fletcher has also noticed that opponents are not all “U.S.-controlled environmental groups and their aboriginal partners....” Most are Canadian citizens, including the aboriginal groups.

Indeed, I participate in the discussions as a seventh-generation Canadian and descendant of a United Empire Loyalist.

My positions are also informed by a career of more than 40 years studying, inventorying, and assessing our biological resources, and facilitating industrial activity while striving for environmental protection, or ideally, sustainability.

Disrespect to elders on buses I AM ASHAMED at the 45-and-

under age group. They know who they are.

I have being taking the bus to work for a long time. Every day like clockwork, I see the younger people not giving the front seats to the ones that are deserving.

I think that with the new Compass card they should have a system in place where fines can be tacked on if they get caught being in those seats when there are people that should have them while on the bus.

The people that need the seats are afraid to ask for them due to negative reaction.

Brave people have fought wars for the freedoms the younger enjoy and they should be ashamed at the fact they display this kind of action of disrespect towards their elders.

FILE SUBMITTED

This picture is among several photos a Surrey couple discovered in a box in their home. After The Leader printed a story (Nov. 5), the photos were successfully returned to the rightful owners.

WE READ with interest the story about the unidentified photos Ester and Jim found (“Are you missing a box of family photos?” Nov. 5) – because we are the people in the photos!

We had a fire at our house and everything was removed for the restoration. After the house was fixed, all our belongings that could be saved were returned.

All of our photos came back in a box of plastic bags and while we went through them at the time, we didn’t notice that many of the important ones were missing.

That is, until we read this story and my mom said “there’s that picture of my brother I was looking for.”

Now we will have to go through the photos that were returned to us to make sure we don’t have any that don’t belong.

Thank you to Esther and Jim for the efforts in returning them to us.

And thank you Surrey Leader for reuniting us with some wonderful photos.

Fewer nurses compromises safety IS YOUR SAFETY being compro-

mised? As nursing students in our final year, we are concerned about changes that impact the delivery of care in the health care system.

Safe staffing is a major concern that nurses have been campaigning about for a long period of time. Safer staffing levels leave a profound impact on the level and quality of care for patients.

With the new care model implemented on Vancouver Island, many registered and licensed practical nurses were replaced by care aides. We are aware of the importance of col-

laboration between care aides, licensed practical nurses and registered nurses, and that each role has a scope of practice in relation to patient care. However, though all roles are necessary, they are different and one cannot be replaced with the other.

The Care Delivery Model Redesign was implemented by the Vancouver Island Health Authority.

In this model, many nursing tasks are delegated to care aides.

Though these delegated tasks may seem relatively simple, it is more than just the skill itself.

It is also about the background

behind why these tasks are done, how to troubleshoot if something goes wrong, and the assessments that go along with these tasks.

As each care provider has differences in knowledge base and assessment styles, important information can be missed during care handover.

With this new model, nurseto-client ratio increases. As workload increases, nurses cannot get to patients in a timely manner, especially under time constraints of when assessments need to be completed.

From our perspective, this decreases the quality of care for

patients. This care model was said to improve patient care without compromising patient safety; however, there has been no evidence provided to support this claim.

A proper review of this care model needs to be done before it can be implemented into the Lower Mainland’s health care system.

A regional force was one of the top recommendations handed down nearly a year ago by the Missing Women Inquiry, which probed how serial killer Robert Pickton eluded capture for so long.

Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said the multi-phase review by government will look at new service delivery models.

“Any change, whether it is regional delivery of specialized policing functions or further integration, has to meet the needs of both communities and taxpayers, and our goal is to retain and support communitybased policing,” Anton said in a statement.

police teams and several police-related reforms are being taken in response to Justice Wally Oppal’s inquiry.

Those include audits to ensure bias-free policing, the development of a Real Time Intelligence Centre that can better analyze crime data around the clock, and a separate review of how vulnerable witnesses are handled.

RCMP costs a concern for cities THE RISING costs of

RCMP service remain a big issue for Metro cities.

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said his city is still considering pulling out of the RCMP and launching its own municipal force. Richmond would contract with a neighouring city for specialized services, such as murder investigations.

“Our assumption has been that there was so much opposition to a regional model that it probably wasn’t going to happen,” he said.

“Whether that now changes, we have to wait and see.”

Burnaby, Port Coquitlam and North Vancouver have also studied potential alternatives to the RCMP over the past 18 months, since a controversial new 20-year RCMP contract kicked in with higher officer costs.

Brodie said one “huge issue” is the costs cities are being expected to pay to cover the newly opened $1-billion RCMP ‘E’ Division headquarters at Green Timbers in Surrey. RCMP-policed cities have been told to budget $1,200 for each officer in their detachment, he said, and $20,000 for every local officer who serves on an integrated team.

Brodie said it adds up to a sudden jump of several hundred thousand dollars in annual RCMP costs for larger cities like Richmond, Burnaby and Surrey.

The mayors also want to know why they have to pay anything for the new base in Surrey when Ottawa apparently isn’t yet moving to sell off the old ‘E’ Division headquarters on Heather Street in Vancouver.

“The federal government decides that they need a huge massive new building in Surrey, which we didn’t ask for,” Brodie said. “We take the position we’re not paying for the capital costs.”

Bus drivers won’t push riders to pay fares Compass cards have union wary of conflict, assault risk

by Jeff Nagel

UNIONIZED BUS driv-

won’t be a big issue.

The main concern for the union remains attacks on bus drivers.

There have been 115 assaults so far this year, up more than 10 per cent from a year ago.

Woods predicts that statistic would worsen if drivers took a more confrontational stance.

He suggested assaults may be up because TransLink efforts to wring more revenue out of the bus system are leading to more overcrowding and more passups by full buses,

frustrating passengers.

Driver assaults include acts like spitting, verbal threats and splashing drinks.

TransLink spokesman Derek Zabel said drivers are expected to observe as passengers tap in with their cards and assist those who have difficulty.

He said the request to the union was mainly to have drivers provide “options from a customer service perspective” while also reminding riders non-payment is punishable by a fine.

ers say they won’t be pressured into helping enforce fare payment by passengers when new Compass smart cards roll out.

TransLink had asked drivers to “actively interact” with passengers to inform them about how to pay and that they could face fare evasion fines if they refuse.

Nathan Woods, president of the union representing drivers, says the proposed training program would have put drivers in the “precarious position” of being at greater risk of assault due to conflict with fare evaders.

“We’re not going to stop them,” he said. “The passengers don’t want fights on their bus and neither do we.”

Woods said drivers will still answer passengers’ questions about fare payment and “meet and greet” as usual, but they won’t apply any new pressure to comply.

It’s up to Transit Police and Coast Mountain Bus security staff to patrol for fare evaders, he said.

The launch of the Compass card system in the new year will bring challenges for bus drivers. Under the new system, people who pay cash will no longer get a valid transfer to SkyTrain.

Woods predicts more passengers will then refuse to pay as they board buses to avoid being double charged – or to at least claim that’s what they’re doing.

Bus drivers can push a button to record when someone boards without paying. If a pattern is detected of a fare evader boarding at the same place consistently, Transit Police could respond.

Despite the attention fare evasion gets, Woods said he doesn’t think it’s

a large problem on buses now and faregates should reduce the problem on SkyTrain.

“On the buses, there are going to be people who are going to scam the system either way,” he added.

One expected scam is where people board a bus and soon tap out with their card at the back door so they pay one zone but ride further for free.

Woods noted only a small number of bus routes actually cross a zone boundary so it

A plan outlined in documents leaked to the Globe and Mail last week is “so secret that I don’t even know about it myself,” Energy Minister Bill Bennett said in an interview. “We’re not even considering blowing up the ALC, or bringing it inside government.”

Bennett said agricultural land commissioners will continue to decide on applications to amend the land reserve, established 40 years ago to protect

Bennett refused to comment on the suggestion that the province could be divided into two zones with different processes. But he said he is aware of many cases outside the southwestern part of B.C. where obviously unfarmable land remains locked in the reserve.

Bennett also rejected the suggestion that the Oil and Gas Commission (OGC) would overrule the ALC on decisions in B.C.’s northeast. The OGC already has some authority on land use, and its role in the review is “tiny,” he said.

NDP leader Adrian Dix accused the government of hiding its intentions before the May election.

by Jeff Nagel ALBERTA PREMIER Alison

Redford says she’s optimistic her deal with B.C. Premier Christy Clark will increase the flow of oil west to the Pacific to diversify Canadian energy markets.

She spoke last week to the Vancouver Board of Trade after the two premiers unveiled what they called a framework agreement for cooperation on new heavy oil pipelines.

“It makes it clear, officially, that Alberta’s royalties are off the table,” Redford said. “The economic benefit cannot be provided or guaranteed by the government of Alberta.”

While B.C. won’t ask Alberta to hand over any share of oil royalties or taxes, it can seek to impose its own toll or tax on oil that may flow through a new pipeline, with Alberta’s support.

Clark hasn’t said if a pipeline toll is how B.C. will seek to gain direct benefits to offset its environmental risk and satisfy her fifth condition for new oil pipelines.

“That is certainly one example but it may or may not be the one we end up seeing,” Redford said.

She stressed the discussion on benefits is one for B.C. to have directly with industry, adding

Salmon inquiry recommendations languish one year later

by Jeff Nagel CONSERVATION groups

are criticizing the federal government for inaction one year after the tabling of the Cohen Commission’s exhaustive report on how to halt the decline of Fraser River sockeye salmon.

They say Justice Bruce Cohen’s 75 recommendations have languished following the $26-million inquiry, with no sign of meaningful action from the federal government that dispatched him.

“There are a lot of people disappointed,” Watershed Watch Salmon Society executive director Craig Orr said. “What was hailed by many as a blueprint to sustain sockeye into the future is starting to look a lot more like a government retreat.”

Cohen focused in large part on the potential risk to wild salmon from net pen fish farms and urged transparent sharing of disease data by the farms.

“We haven’t seen that yet,” Orr said, adding Ottawa should also take up Cohen’s call to change how it regulates aquaculture.

“We want to see them fix the conflicted mandate of government – on the one hand promoting salmon farming while on the other supposedly protecting wild fish.”

Orr said the provincial government is moving to update B.C.’s Water Act, potentially adding some additional protections, but added it’s “a stretch” to think that will make up for the recent erosion of federal legislation protecting fish habitat.

The Fisheries Act was amended last year so its ban on damaging habitat now only outlaws “serious harm” to stocks that are actually fished by commercial, sport or aboriginal users.

Fisheries and Oceans Minister Gail Shea said in a statement the government is continuing a Cohen-recommended moratorium on new

Recommendations from the Cohen Commission are being ignored by the federal government, conservations groups claim. salmon farms in the Discovery Islands zone near Campbell River and that it “will not be lifted for the foreseeable future.”

Shea said the Cohen’s findings are helping guide day-to-day work protecting salmon.

“We are responding to his recommendations not by producing another written document, but by taking concrete actions that make a real difference.”

In a separate interview, Shea told Black Press the

Cohen recommendations led to a doubling of fishing enforcement on the Pacific salmon fishery in August and September.

Using aerial surveillance and on-water enforcement, fisheries officers seized 10 vessels and 66 nets this year, an increase from the previous year.

Ottawa spends $65 million a year on Pacific salmon initiatives, $20 million of that directly tied to Fraser sockeye.

John Fraser, a former fisheries minister and speaker of the House of Commons who once led an earlier four-year probe of B.C. salmon stocks, said Ottawa deserves credit for steering extra money to Pacific salmon projects, but scolded the lack of response to Cohen.

“Quite frankly, there isn’t any excuse for it,” Fraser said. “And I say that as a lifetime Conservative.”

He was among critics who warn the salmon outlook is further clouded by the Fisheries Act changes and deep cuts to biologists and other Department of Fisheries and Oceans staff.

DFO staff are acting without new regulations spelling out how changes to the act will be applied, he said, and increasingly with inadequate research.

“If you don’t have the

$66M to ‘talk’ about aboriginal kids Report describes a ‘confused, unstable and bizarre area of public policy’

by Tom Fletcher THE B.C. government has

spent 10 years and $66 million on meetings and

consultants to discuss aboriginal “governance” of children in protective care, while actual services such as domestic violence

safe houses remain inadequate to meet the need.

That conclusion emerges from a new report from B.C.’s Rep-

resentative for Children and Youth, Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, who calls it a “confused, unstable and bizarre area of public

policy” where millions continue to be spent without accountability.

“For example,” TurpelLafond wrote, “nearly $35

CEO open to merger talks Health authorities spend $650M in corporate costs

by Jeff Nagel

FRASER HEALTH CEO Dr. Nigel Murray says he has no opinion on whether the health authority should merge with neighbouring Vancouver Coastal to create a single giant health region to save more money.

A review of Fraser ordered by Health Minister Terry Lake to search for cost savings will also look at the structure of the authority and consider possible changes to boundaries.

“Nothing should be off the table,” said Murray, adding he welcomes the review.

But he said he’s more concerned with ensuring there’s seamless care when patients are handed back and forth between the health regions.

“We often get distracted by structure as opposed to function,” Murray said. “I don’t think patients really care if there’s two health authorities or one. What they care about is getting services that are timely, in the right place for them and that are high quality, and that as a taxpayer they’re efficient.”

Murray said the two Lower Mainland health authorities have jointly procured various services and supplies for years to get more competitive pricing.

The shared services strategy has expanded over time to other functions, such as consolidating the two regions’ pharmacies and labs.

Much of that has been done primarily to standardize patient care, he added.

Merging the two health authorities would potentially save some

portion of the administration costs of their twin bureaucracies.

Fraser lists $253 million a year as “corporate” costs in its service plan, while Vancouver Coastal spends around $296 million.

Fraser’s corporate spending, at about 8.3 per cent of the overall budget, is the lowest share going to administration of any health region in the country, Murray said.

Murray called the review an exciting chance to get a fresh strategic view of the challenges and possible solutions.

Vancouver Coastal includes Vancouver, the North Shore and Richmond, while Fraser Health covers the rest of Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley from Burnaby to Boston Bar. jnagel@blackpress.ca

‘He never gave up on himself ’ Cloverdale’s Brad Goodchild receives the Ron White Community Service Award

by Gary Ahuja

W

ins and losses are important, but so is giving back to the community and helping others, and one member of the Langley Rams junior football team has been honoured for his efforts.

Brad Goodchild, an offensive lineman for the Rams, was presented with the Ron White Community Service Award last month at halftime of his team’s loss to the Vancouver Island Raiders in the Cullen Cup, the B.C. Football Conference’s championship game.

He has also earned the Canadian Junior Football League’s Past Commissioners Award, which was presented Friday (Nov. 8) in Regina at the CJFL Banquet of Champions.

The award is for football players who are recognized by their coaches and peers as leaders on and off the field and who give unselfishly to their community.

The 21-year-old Cloverdale resident was selected for the award and nomination for everything he overcame over the past eight years.

In a 2011 story in the Langley Times, Goodchild shared just how much he had overcome.

And based on that story, he was selected the winner of the Ron White Award.

The story detailed how at age 13, Goodchild was taking care of his younger brother Jake, registering him for school and dropping him off and picking him up. With his father not a part of their lives and his drug addict mother going missing for weeks at a time, the boys were evicted from their Surrey rental home.

Goodchild and his brother showed up at their grandpar-

ents’ home and were taken in. Until that point, the grandparents did not know the extent of their daughters’ addiction problems.

Despite all this adversity, Goodchild thrived in the classroom, skipping Grade 8 and graduating from Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary in 2010 with a 95 per cent grade point average. He also earned a scholarship

from the Cmolik Foundation, a B.C. based charitable foundation which awards scholarships to financiallychallenged students who have overcome a significant barrier or disadvantage in their life.

Goodchild is in the his fourth year at Simon Fraser University, where he is studying psychology with the hopes of becoming a youth counsellor.

He is also mentoring a pair of young men at his former high school.

“It gives us the opportunity to recognize very special young men who are committed to the game and to their team as well as to their family, friends, the community and to the world,” said Ron White, the man whom the

Surrey/North Delta Leader 17

award is named after and who selects the winner.

White is a member of the B.C. Football Hall of Fame and is a lifetime member of both the BCFC and the CJFL, and presented Goodchild the Past Commissioners Award.

“In this very special situation, we have a young man who never lost his faith under unbelievable circumstances,” White said.

“He succeeded when it would have been easy to fail (and) he never gave up on himself.

“He now shares these life experiences mentoring students as his contribution to the community.”

Goodchild has also recently come in contact with his mother, Jaeson Goodchild.

Next month will mark two years clean for her and she contacted him and his brother in the past few months.

“That was part of her making amends as part of the 12-step program,” he said.

And while Goodchild says he has moved on from growing up without his mother, he would still like her to be a part of their lives, especially for his younger brother’s sake.

“I have done quite a bit of growing up without her,” Goodchild said. “(But) I was really more interested in her being healthy and being available for Jake. I don’t really need a mother in the same way that Jake does.”

Goodchild wants his 13-year-old sibling to experience the mother he remembers before the addiction took over.

“She was a great mom back when I was really young,” he said. “She used to come to all the field trips at school and used to work and took care of us and it was awesome.

“It just kind of fell apart and I would just like her to be the same kind of person for Jake.” sports@surreyleader.com

The purpose of the proposed Pest Management Plan (PMP) is to control vegetation, including noxious weeds and invasive plants, on ballast, rights-of-way, station grounds, yards, and around buildings, shops, material storage areas, crossings, and bridges using the principles of integrated pest management.

The pest management methods proposed for use include hand removal and cutting, weed trimming, mowing, brush cutters, chainsaws, and the use of pesticides. The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the PMP applies.

The PMP applies to BNSF property within their New Westminster Subdivision, and is located in proximity to the communities of White Rock, Delta, Surrey, Vancouver and New Westminster.

The common name and examples of trade names of the pesticides proposed for use under this plan include: aminopyralid (Milestone), chlorsulfuron (Telar), dicamba (Vanquish), diuron (Karmex DF), flumioxazin (Payload), glyphosate (Vantage XRT), imazapyr (Arsenal), metsulfuron methyl (Escort) and triclopyr (Garlon XRT). Application methods include: wick/wipe on applications, truck mounted shrouded spray boom, back pack/hand held sprayers, power hose and nozzle, squirt bottles and injection tools.

The proposed duration of the PMP is from January 31, 2014 to January 31, 2019.

A draft copy of the proposed PMP and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be examined in detail at: BNSF Railway, 400 Brunette Avenue, New Westminster, BC, or by contacting the Agent listed above.

“A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant (c/o SMC Consulting, Agent, at the address listed above), within 30 days of the publication of this notice”
