Surrey MLA says he enjoys municipal work

by Kevin Diakiw SAYING HE continues to enjoy being

a councillor, Marvin Hunt will stay on Surrey council as long as he can effectively serve as both a provicnial MLA and council representative.

He will do so without drawing a salary from the municipal coffers.

Last May, Hunt became the B.C. Liberal MLA for Surrey-Panorama, raising the spectre of a costly municipal byelection.

To avoid that, Hunt said he would do both jobs until January, 2014 to avoid trggering the byelection, which would cost the city about $600,000.

He has continued to work as a city councillor with Marvin Hunt no pay. However, his expenses for civic business are still covered.

The MLA and city councillor is finding he’s still enjoying the job as city councillor and is thinking about remaining on council until the November 2014 general election “With the support of my city council and the support I’ve received around me, we’ll see how long it can last,” Hunt told The Leader Friday.

Review on tolls promised ‘Issue of fairness’ if Pattullo, Massey bridges are pay crossings, Stone says

by Jeff Nagel TRANSPORTATION MINISTER Todd Stone is pledging to review B.C.’s

provincial tolling policy that currently blocks tolls on existing roads and bridges, adding he’s concerned about the unfair proliferation of tolled crossings of the Fraser River in Metro Vancouver.

Stone isn’t yet saying if he’s ready to support road pricing, which Metro mayors want to pursue to help fund TransLink, or perhaps small tolls on all the region’s bridges – an idea repeatedly voiced by Surrey

Mayor Dianne Watts.

But any tolling reform would first require the province to alter the policy, which allows tolls to be applied only to new infrastructure, and only when there’s a reasonable free alternative for motorists who don’t want to pay.

That proviso has drawn scorn from drivers in Surrey, who now pay to cross the Port Mann Bridge, in addition to the Golden Ears Bridge, and must divert to the aging Pattullo Bridge to avoid paying.

Tolling: Minister acknowledges policy is 10 years old From page 1 “Our tolling policy is over 10 years old,” Stone told Surrey Board of Trade members Thursday, and acknowledged that the Pattullo Bridge and Massey Tunnel could both be replaced with toll bridges as well.

“You start looking at the crossings at that point that potentially could have tolls on and to me this then becomes an issue of fairness and equity for the hardworking people of South of the Fraser.”

He said the province would face “pretty big questions” about the

validity of the policy if both the Pattullo and Massey crossings are also tolled, leaving the Alex Fraser as the only free crossing.

Stone also told the business audience he expects to officially open the full 40-kilometre $1.26-billion South Fraser Perimeter Road before Christmas.

Stone sidestepped questions on whether light rail or SkyTrain technology should be used to extend rapid transit in Surrey.

The minister had no answers on what the referendum question will be or when the vote will

take place, except that he hopes to work all that out with the mayors “very soon.”

“All of us have an interest in making sure this transit referendum succeeds,” he told the business leaders, adding road congestion costs the region $1.5 billion a year.

He said he wants the costs of the referendum minimized, and noted the price tag changes depending on whether or not the plebiscite is conducted with the 2014 municipal elections and whether it’s a conventional vote or a mail-in ballot.

Any new funding

“You start looking at the crossings... that potentially could have tolls on and to me this then becomes an issue of fairness and equity for the hard-working people of South of the Fraser.”

Transporation minister Todd Stone sources going to referendum must be affordable for voters, Stone added.

Many mayors and other observers have said they fear voters will shoot down any higher taxes for TransLink, leav-

ing the region mired in worsening gridlock.

But Stone countered that 60 other jurisdictions in North America have held transit improvement votes since 2012 and three quarters

of them have approved higher taxes.

The key to success, he said, is a very clear compelling vision, a large coalition of supporters, a simple specific question and usually just one

funding source.

NDP transportation critic Claire Trevena said the referendum strategy is wrong-headed and the government should instead give the mayors’ council the power and responsibility to raise the money TransLink needs.

“You don’t go to referendum for every question, you elect representatives to answer them,” Trevena said.

“To be turning around to the people every day and saying we’re going to have a referendum on this is American-style politics, it’s not our style of politics.”

“We’ll stay on as long as we can. Obviously the house (in Victoria) sits in February, so I’m not going to be at council.”

By law, Hunt 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.

Council has removed him from extra committee work and MetroVancouver appointments so he will have time to better do his job as MLA.

A helping hand for families Surrey Christmas Bureau now registering clients and collecting donations

by Greg Laychak

our volunteers sit at the end of supermarket cash lanes interviewing applicants. But the tills are silent as the room around them buzzes.

This is no ordinary supermarket, and the customers are not there to check out food – at least not directly.

The hub of activity is at the former site of the Buy Rite grocery store in the Dell Shopping Centre, where people are now registering for the 2013 Surrey Christmas Bureau (SCB).

In the ever-changing interior of this year’s location, checkout aisles are the only original structure left.

Thanks to a team of busy volunteers the area is transforming, but the shelves where families will do their toy shopping remain empty.

“In about a week... it’ll look different again,” says K.C. Gilroy, program coordinator. “We’ll have baby items here, toddler items here, there’ll be pyjamas piled there.

“It’ll be a whole different world.”

The site for the SCB came later than usual this year and took some intense some searching, says Gilroy. Every year the location has changed because it’s difficult to find a large space with a short lease that fits the bureau’s needs.

After passing on other properties that didn’t fit the organization’s requirements, Bosa Properties came to the SCB’s aide, offering the current site at a reduced lease rate.

The central locale is a bonus, says Gilroy, adding that North Surrey is home to a large proportion of the SCB’s lowerincome clients.

One of those residents, Wendy Hernandez, waited in the early morning cold Thursday with her friend Caroline Quinonez in a lineup of about 40 applicants. Some in line had stood outside the SCB for almost an hour to get a number.

“We don’t have money for buying our kids Wendy Hernandez presents,” explains Hernandez stepping inside to warm up. “Everything is expensive and we have three children.”

Hernandez and Quinonez are participating in the program for the second year. Both are grateful for the help and say it made their last Christmas a happy one.

Last year Quinonez participated in the Adopt-a-Family program that matches sponsor families with those in need.

Her six-month-old son, Alan, sits quietly bundled in his stroller. It will be his first Christmas this December, and Quinonez is hoping to be matched with a sponsor again this year.

The organization distributes toys and gift cards for groceries to hundreds of low-income families each year. More than 1,800 families are expected this holiday season. This year’s SCB is open for registration for families with a child or children age 18 or under, until Nov. 30, Monday to Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The SCB accepts donations of new toys and cash all year, and are particularly in need of gifts for teens. Cash donations will be matched by Gord Bylo and iFund Lending up to $15,000.

For toy pick-up, call 604-581-9623. If you would like to sponsor a family, please contact the Adopt-a-Family program at 604-585-9670.

Arrests made in deadly Surrey home invasion

by Tracy Holmes POLICE HAVE announced the arrest

of two individuals in connection with the Nov. 9 home-invasion death of Corey Bennett in South Surrey.

Officers said that one man with “a criminal record dating back to 2000” was arrested Thursday. He remains in custody charged with manslaughter and robbery with a firearm in connection with the incident, in which Bennett was shot.

The identity of a second, unnamed male who was arrested early Friday morning has not been released pending formal approval of charges.

Both suspects are last known to

have resided in Surrey.

In identifying 44-year-old Bennett Thursday as the victim, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said he was known to police “for his significant ties to the drug trade.”

He died following an incident police determined was a “targeted home invasion” at a residence in the 2600block of King George Boulevard.

In recent months, RCMP had been called to the home a number of times, including for a September brawl that resulted in road closures and saw several people taken into custody.

Matthew Rene Bernard, 27, was due back in Surrey Provincial Court Monday.

Murder: Task force is meeting today From page 1 “We have spoken with some of them, definitely not all of them, and at this point we’re looking to identify who those individuals were, and have them come forward and speak with investigators.”

Mayor Dianne Watts’ special task force created to investigate Surrey’s spike in murder this year meets today (Tuesday) for the first time since its inception.

Diann Watts Watts said the task force is dealing specifically with murders and will not be open to the public, although the findings will be available to all.

“We’re going to look at all the causal factors,” says Watts.

“The majority [of murders] are gangand drug-related. We want to look at what we’re already doing, if there’s something more we can do, and identify any gaps.”

The mayor also said the task force will be re-examining police deployment and resources.

But Watts added that it’s an issue government and police can’t handle alone.

“These are things that families have to get involved in,” she said. “They just can’t wash their hands and say the police and government are going to take care of it, because there has to be a sense of responsibility.”

Surrey man faces sex assault charge Woman flagged Vancouver van she thought was taxi

by Kevin Diakiw

A SURREY MAN has now been charged in relation to the alleged beating and sexual assault of a woman in Vancouver.

On Oct. 12, at 2 a.m., a 25-year-old woman was leaving Gastown when she flagged what she believed to be a cab in the 100-block of Water Street.

She got in, and was driven to an area of East Vancouver, where she was beaten and sexually assaulted.

On Oct. 13, Vancouver Police issued a public warning and asked for the public’s help in identifying the suspect.

A witness observed a

minivan, similar to the one described by the victim, driven by a man matching the suspect description. This witness was able to note the licence plate and forwarded it to police.

Detectives were able to quickly identify a person of interest.

Last Monday afternoon (Nov. 18), Vancouver Police arrested 50-year-old Stephen Lee Schienbein in Surrey.

Crown has now approved charges of sexual assault causing bodily harm, sexual assault with a weapon, forcible confinement and assault. The investigation is ongoing and detectives continue to gather evidence.

Trial ordered for accused murderer Jason Brewer charged with shooting Cole Manning

by Monique Tamminga THE MAN CHARGED in the New Year’s Eve murder

of a Cloverdale man in Langley has been ordered to stand trial in Supreme Court in New Westminster.

Jason Brewer, 24, was ordered to stand trial after a preliminary hearing earlier this month. He is currently charged with the second-degree murder of 40-year-old Cole Manning, a man police called Brewer’s friend. Manning was shot to death in the basement suite in the early morning hours Dec. 31, 2012.

Brewer is accused of leading police on a short pursuit before his vehicle was rammed by police in Aldergrove, leading to his arrest. His next court appearance on the murder charge is Dec. 5. A trial date hasn’t been set.

In the meantime, Brewer pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal negligence causing bodily harm during the start of a separate trial in Supreme Court on Oct. 28. Brewer swerved into oncoming traffic on Highway 10 in November 2009, causing a crash that resulted in life-long injuries for two victims.

In that case, he has a sentencing hearing scheduled for March 20, 2014.

GOVERNMENT

Ditch the carbon trust

RAESIDE

T

he first move in the provincial government’s core review, designed to reduce overall government costs, targets the Pacific Carbon Trust. But it doesn’t go nearly far enough.

The government is planning to move the trust into the ministry of environment, and reduce its staff and administrative costs. It would be far better to eliminate it.

Bill Bennett, the minister responsible for the review, says the move will save $5.6 million annually by 2015-16. The carbon trust’s staff will be reduced to five from 18.

Unfortunately, the government is still spinning the half-truth that the Pacific Carbon Trust is actually reducing carbon emissions. All it really does is boost the cost of government projects and initiatives. New schools, for example, cost more because all government agencies are required to buy carbon offsets so that the province can claim that it is totally carbon neutral.

The offsets it buys, at $25 per tonne, are purchased from the private sector — usually from large carbon emitters (such as Encana, a natural gas producer) to build projects that reduce the amount of carbon they emit. What is left unsaid is that most of these projects would likely be built anyway. The only concrete accomplishment of these forced offset purchases, all of which are paid for by taxpayers, is that they may speed up the timetable of some projects.

NDP leader Adrian Dix, who fumbled on a number of occasions during the provincial election campaign, was strikingly clear on the Pacific Carbon Trust.

He would eliminate it. He made this case, even as he was trying to appeal to more Green-minded voters on southern Vancouver Island, where the Green party is strongest and where the party actually elected an MLA, Andrew Weaver in Oak Bay-Gordon Head.

The current B.C. Liberal government continues to mouth platitudes about carbon reduction, even as it proposes a number of LNG plants that would certainly boost the amount of carbon emitted in B.C. However, if the plants are built and natural gas begins to replace coal as the source of electricity in countries like China, worldwide carbon emissions will decrease.

That type of effort towards reducing carbon is far superior to the smoke and mirrors of the Pacific Carbon Trust.

wo days after Energy Minister Bill Bennett announced the demise of the Pacific Carbon Trust, the public accounts committee convened at the legislature to pound a few more nails into its carbon-sequestering coffin.

Assistant Auditor General Morris Sydor was there to defend his report from last March that concluded the B.C. government was not “carbon neutral” in 2010, because the trust paid $6 million for hastily arranged offset projects that were not valid.

An Encana Corp. gas flaring reduction project at Fort Nelson and a forest preserve in the Kootenays would have proceeded without assistance from $25 a tonne carbon fee imposed on hospitals, universities, colleges and until last year, school districts.

In fact they did proceed without this subsidy.

The government continues to deny this, but not many people outside the international carbon offset sales racket believe them.

The Pacific Carbon Trust’s functions will continue, Bennett said. Instead of a board of directors and 18 staff, five people headed by an assistant deputy minister will evaluate

per cent of B.C.’s human-generated greenhouse gas emissions are from transportation, and a few electric cars for school district staff aren’t going to change that.

And what happens when colleges and hospitals run out of boilers to modernize and insulation to upgrade? It won’t be long at this rate.

In hindsight, this “carbon neutral government” scheme is perhaps the worst single idea implemented in 12 years of B.C. Liberal government. Gordon Campbell’s grand vision of a province where government sets the green standard and the private sector economy follows has simply not worked.

The NDP presented a motion in April 2012 to relieve hospitals, colleges and universities of their carbon offset obligation. The idea was supported by a B.C. Liberal backbencher, who argued that B.C. should also scrap the carbon tax and quit pretending it can change the climate.

His name? Bill Bennett.

Surrey/North Delta Leader 7

Unprecedented marine traffic looms I’d pay for parking – if only I could

IN THE rush to sell coal to China, the industry

has ignored two factors.

One is what happens to the coal when it reaches its final destination? In recent years coal has been regarded as a dirty, polluting product but there have been attempts to dress it up with claims of clean or refined coal and this is what I assumed was being sold to China until recently when the high pollution level in China’s Heilongjiang province was revealed. So it is certain that North American coal is adding to China’s pollution woes.

Secondly, there are two local issues that have not yet been seen in a single context. The Fraser Surrey Docks coal port has plans to barge coal to a holding facility on Texada Island and this combined with the expected increase in westbound tanker traffic from the Burrard Inlet Kinder Morgan facility will see them exiting from English Bay and crossing through the north-bound coal barges. Subsequently, coalcarrying ships from Texada will head south to converge on the same route as the Kinder Morgan tankers. If all three routes are permit-

ted, when added to the existing long-established grain-ship traffic, the summer cruise ships and the regular B.C. Ferries’ routes, it will create a concentration of shipping in the lower Strait of Georgia not seen before.

Even if there is a risk assessment, there is no absolute fail-safe, as has been proved many times with marine accidents, and if a collision occurs it will be catastrophic.

More taxis equals problems solved

THE INCREASED use of taxis within HandyDart is something that disability advocates have been requesting for years. We’ve been asking for increased taxi use because HandyDart levels are inadequate and taxi use significantly increases the number of HandyDart rides that can be provided within the same budget.

For example, the Montreal custom transit system uses over 90 per cent taxis and they provide almost twice as many rides as Metro Vancouver HandyDart does, for about the same budget.

Throughout North America, custom transit operators use taxis as part of their transit system to provide more needed rides. The independent auditor of TransLink services recommended that TransLink increase the use of taxis to increase the number of rides provided. This same recommendation was recently passed by the City of Vancouver Persons with Disabilities Advisory Committee.

HandyDart currently does not meet people’s needs. Taxis are an excellent way of meeting this unmet need because they are about half as expensive as a ride on a regular HandyDart vehicle.

In a system where there aren’t enough rides, where need and the seniors’ population are increasing, and where public funds are limited, it is crucial to find ways to provide more needed service within the same funding envelope. Increasing taxi use within HandyDart is an established international best practice to do that.

Also, while it is true that travel with an untrained driver is unsafe, it is also true that this can be remedied.

Coalition of People with Disabilities, the Coalition of Senior Citizens Organizations of B.C., GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre, the City of Vancouver Seniors’ Advisory Committee, CNIB, and the City of Vancouver Persons with Disabilities Advisory Committee, have been working with Vancouver taxi companies to design a taxi driver training program to provide safe and

appropriate service.

All Vancouver taxi drivers will be required to take this training and pass it. It will start in about two weeks. We hope this will also be implemented in other areas soon.

In summary, the recommendation that TransLink increase the use of taxis came from the disability community, is an international best practice, and was one of the recommendations of the independent auditor. Required taxi driver

training and testing is about to be implemented. The safe use of taxis within HandyDart for persons with disabilities and seniors who want to use them should substantially increase the number of rides available and should significantly reduce the trip denial rate in a cost-effective and sustainable way.

Kindness a bigger rush than caffeine

The other day I was in line at a local coffee shop, ready to get my daily dose of a double-double with a side of a jelly filled donut.

I ordered the usual and awaited for approval from my debit card. Embarrassingly it had not worked, apparently some sort of chip error. This rejection not only embarrassed me as an individual, I also felt bad because I had held up the line behind me.

I told the cashier that I’d be back.

I went to the bank and was able to withdraw money from the card. I ran back and entered the shop and was

about to pay, but to my surprise the lady who had been waiting behind me had already paid for my meal.

I was so shocked and grateful for the kind gesture. Even though I had made her wait longer for her order, this lady, out of the kindness of her heart, did something so uplifting that it made me feel something that I haven’t felt. It was something that’s been missing in our society for a while: kindness.

I was unable to catch this saint’s name because she had left the shop and carried on with her life, but I was

not going to let this kind gesture go unnoticed.

So I decided to do what she had done. The next morning as I was waiting in line to get my daily double-double, a different lady stood behind me. I began talking to her and told her what had happened the day before. I offered her the same treatment, saying, “your order’s on me.”

The lady gave me a shocked, heartwarming stare and I can’t even begin to describe the feelings I experienced. She was so grateful for

the kind deed and said her day was made. It was the same feeling that I experienced.

After everything was said and done she gave me a big hug and told me she too would carry on this kind gesture to the next unknowing person.

I hope this story has inspired you into doing some sort of kind gesture, big or small, because the reward of helping others is far greater than anything else.

I HAVE been using the South Sur-

rey park-and-ride since it opened years ago. Recently, TransLink introduce pay parking. The cost is $2.

Personally, I don’t have a problem paying the $2 – if one could pay it.

As of Nov. 4, Impark now collects the $2 through two parking meters. This would be okay if the parking meters worked. I park daily in the lot, as do many others, and it is very frustrating to try make a payment. The following are the daily issues: 1). If the meter allows you to make the payment, it takes approximately five minutes to process the request. You don’t receive a receipt to prove you have paid.

I have to leave 30 minutes earlier in the morning for the privilege of waiting in line to pay to use a spot.

2). You try to make a payment – it asks for $2. Put your toonie or two loonies in, and it continues to ask for $2 and will not give back the money you have already placed in it. This morning. I sunk six $2 coins into the machine and nothing happened.

3). Try calling the meter service number and put in the lot number.

Apparently, the lot is not a recognized lot number.

So this morning I got really fed up and tried calling Impark. There is no customer service number. I waited on hold for the ticket payment office for five hours with no answer.

Finally I called TransLink.

They are getting significant calls regarding the Impark service at this location. They are taking the information and trying to deal with Impark as well.

People are now just frustrated and are no longer paying for their parking as it seems impossible. I’m sure the next step for Impark will be to ticket all of us even though we have tried to be good citizens and pay for the service.

Not sure what to do next.

WITH THE holiday

season just around the corner, MADD Metro Vancouver has officially launched its annual Project Red Ribbon

campaign to prevent impaired driving.

The Campaign kicked off Nov. 18 at Surrey City Hall with Mayor Dianne Watts and Bob Rorison, executive director of MADD Metro Vancou-

ver, in attendance. Also on hand was Markita Kaulius, whose daughter Kassandra was killed by a drunk driver in 2011.

“The little red ribbon packs a big message,” said Rorison. “It reminds

people to plan ahead for a safe ride home if they’re going to be drinking. It reminds people that impaired driving puts lives at risk.

It reminds people that the deaths and injuries resulting from this violent crime are needless and totally preventable.”

MADD Metro Vancouver is asking everyone to help make this holiday season safe from impaired driving and offers the following tips: • Plan ahead when you know you’ll be drinking. Take a cab or bus, arrange a designated driver or plan to stay over.

• Never drive impaired or ride with an impaired driver.

• If you see a driver you suspect is impaired, call 911 to report it to police. The call you make could save a life.

Project Red Ribbon runs from Nov. 1 to the first Monday after New Year’s Day. During this time, MADD Metro Vancouver will be out in the community asking residents of Metro Vancouver to tie a red ribbon to their vehicles, key chains, purses, briefcases or backpacks. The red ribbon is a symbol of a person’s commitment to drive safe and sober during the holiday season, and a reminder to other motorists to do the same.

The red ribbon serves as a tribute to those who have been killed or injured as a result of impaired driving. Every year, between 1,250 and 1,500 people are killed and more than 63,000 injured in impairmentrelated crashes.

Ribbons can be requested by emailing maddvancouver@gmail. com or calling 604-5159212.

Metro board redraws sewage treatment cost

North Shore gets relief but not as much as it sought

by Jeff Nagel METRO VANCOUVER’S BOARD voted last week to

overhaul its formula for regionally sharing the astronomical costs of new sewage treatment plants, but stopped short of providing the level of relief sought by Vancouver and the North Shore.

In a 64-60 weighted vote, directors from Surrey, Burnaby and the Tri-Cities carried the day, insisting the revised formula must be more fair to their residents than staff had proposed.

The new projects – the replacement of first the Lions Gate and then the Iona sewage treatment plants at a combined cost of perhaps $1.6 billion – will dramatically drive up Metro sewage fees, particularly for residents in the benefitting areas of the North Shore and Vancouver.

Their representatives wanted 70 per cent of capital costs of all future projects to be spread across the region, while 30 per cent would fall on the local area.

Instead, the compromise formula that passed gives more credit to contributions to past projects by cities in the eastern parts of the region.

Under the new formula: • North Shore annual sewage fees for the average household are expected to rise from $267 now to $715 by 2030.

• Fraser sewerage area homes (Surrey, Burnaby, Tri-Cities and other eastern cities that use Annacis) go from $182 now to $319 by 2030.

• Vancouver fees go from $197 to $495.

• Lulu Island sewerage area (most of Richmond) goes from $247 to $471.

The staff-recommended formula would have spread the pain further yet, cutting 2030 costs on the North Shore to $678 per home and raising them slightly elsewhere.

“I don’t think that’s fair to the people in my community,” said Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan.

He said Burnaby and cities to the east have paid more for years for secondary treatment at the Annacis Island treatment plant, which Vancouver and the North Shore refused to contribute extra to then.

“I’d like to see Vancouver and the North Shore reimburse those of us who have been paying more for decades,” added Richmond Coun. Harold Steves.

Vancouver Coun. Raymond Louie urged directors to agree to the 70-30 formula to level the playing field and ensure the same battle isn’t refought again in a decade or so when Annacis needs to be expanded.

If Metro directors had refused any change in the formula, North Shore fees would have hit $834 per home by 2030.

Even with the compromise formula, North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton said he doesn’t look forward to explaining to North Shore residents why it will cost so much more to flush a toilet there than south of the Fraser.

HandyDart denials soar, union-funded study claims

by Jeff Nagel A UNION-FUNDED study is blaming TransLink for a

seven-fold jump in the number of HandyDart users denied trips over the past five years and warns the situation is set to get much worse as the number of older seniors grows.

The report by transportation planner Eric Doherty says the number of HandyDart trip denials doubled last year to 37,690 and that number has skyrocketed from less than 5,000 in 2008.

PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE

FORUM TO DISCUSS RAIL TRAFFIC SAFETY IN SOUTH SURREY/WHITE ROCK Invitation to a Public Open House

Tuesday, November 26, 7:00pm - 8:30pm Pacific Inn | 1160 King George Blvd, Surrey

The number of seniors over 70 is growing at more than two and a half times the rate of growth of the general population, it warns, rising by an expected 40 per cent over the next decade.

But without approval of new funding for TransLink, the HandyDart budget is expected to remain frozen for years to come, leaving the custom transit system increasingly unable to meet demand.

Doherty’s report, on behalf of the union representing HandyDart drivers, argues TransLink is inappropriately attempting to force more custom transit users who have disabilities onto regular transit. It warns allowing service to deteriorate will isolate vulnerable HandyDart passengers without access to transit.

It’s the latest volley from the Amalgamated Transit Union in a running battle with TransLink officials after they contracted out all HandyDart service to MVT Canadian Bus. Also enraging the union was TransLink’s decision this year – after urging by auditors – to use cheaper taxis to provide more trips with the same amount of money.

The shift of 15,000 service hours or two per cent of the total to taxis meant layoffs for a few HandyDart drivers and a drop from full-time status for some others.

Martin Lay, TransLink’s director of transit services, said the taxi pilot project is so far on track to meet its goal of generating 7,000 more trips for users than would otherwise have been provided.

“We’re very happy with how that productivity part is working,” he said.

Lay wouldn’t say how far TransLink might go in expanding taxi use next year – if that’s recommended in a forthcoming report to the board. But he insisted Metro Vancouver’s custom transit service is not alone in taking such a step.

Calgary’s system also puts 46 per cent of custom transit passengers on taxis, Lay said, while Montreal has a fleet of just 100 HandyDart buses and uses taxis for at least 70 per cent of the trips.

The pilot initially switched passengers from HandyDart to taxis on the four costliest routes where HandyDart minibuses must often deadhead back empty. They connect Surrey and White Rock to either Vancouver and New Westminster.

Lay said the number of trips denied this year so far is running at 30,534 as of the end of September, equivalent to about three per cent of all trips.

Asked if the statistics are cause for alarm, Lay said he doubts trip denials were being recorded “with the same rigour” a few years ago as they are today by unionized staff on the lookout for evidence of trouble.

Doherty’s report argues trip denial statistics may not fully reflect unmet demand, as people give up booking trips they know will be denied.

One area that hasn’t gone up significantly – despite the aging population – is the number of people actually registered to use HandyDart in Metro Vancouver.

Total registrations and the number of active riders have both been “fairly stagnant” for several years, Lay said.

home ice, edged the visiting Cents 2-1 in front of an announced crowd of more than 980.

Saturday’s low-scoring affair featured the Eagles’ annual Teddy Bear Toss, in which fans toss stuffed animals on the ice when the home team scores first. And this year, the team made those fans hold onto the bears a little longer than they would have liked, as the Birds didn’t get on the board until the 40-second mark of the third period, when Jonah Renouf finally broke the goose egg and caused stuffed toys to litter the ice.

“It was good to get that one. We weren’t sure if we were going to have to make the fans come back the next game (to throw the bears),” quipped head coach Peter Schaefer.

In addition to triggering the bear-toss, Renouf ’s marker – his 10th of the season – tied the game at 1-1.

game-winner on the power play.

“It was just one of those low-scoring, playoff-style games. It was a good team effort and we were happy to get the win,” said Schaefer.

Surrey managed just 27 shots on Merritt netminder Devin Kero, while the Centennials fired just 21 on Eagles goalie Devon Fordyce.

The tilt was a far cry from Friday’s offensive slugfest, which saw the Eagles hold a one-goal lead on four different occassions before Merritt scored twice in the final two minutes to steal the two points.

“We got the lead, and were playing OK, but just weren’t able to hold onto it. We lost the game, but we battled really hard,” Schaefer said.

Surrey got goals from Darious Davidson, Renouf, Brett Mulcahy and Luke Sandler.

Bo Didur was tagged with the loss in net for Surrey, stopping 25 of 30 shots on goal.

The .500 weekend leaves then with an 11-16-1 record, 13 points back of the BCHL Mainland Division lead, which is held by the Prince George Spruce Kings, who have 36 points.

Surrey plays at home tomorrow at 7 p.m. against the Coquitlam Express, and Friday heads to Coquitlam for a return engagement.

Bhargava is a multilingual poet, speaker and essayist whose poetry has been published in various literary magazines and anthologies.

Poinsettias provide plenty of festive options Millions of North America’s number-one flowering plant are grown in B.C.

greenscene

LAST WEEK I was invited on an annual tour of regional greenhouse operations growing poinsettias.

Seeing some of the millions of poinsettias grown in B.C. for our local market and for export to the United States, I was not only impressed by the numbers grown but also by the quality of the plants. Our growers are to be congratulated for Brian Minter developing such a strong export market in our province.

From the tiniest Pixie single blooms to huge, and I do mean huge – 10-inch and 12-inch pots that I could hardly get my arms around – there was quite a selection. Red varieties dominant the colour selection simply because of tradition, but

whites are popular also because they can be dyed and sparkled. Fewer pinks are grown these days.

Some of the newer varieties will add a lot of spice to home decors. One of the favourites is White Glitter, a red variety sprinkled with soft pink speckles. It is very different.

Burgundy varieties are still popular for their designer colour, as is apricot, a pink with soft orange overtones. Picasso is a unique variety the master himself would approve. The really hot new variety is Ice Crystal with its bi-colour white and cherry red bracts.

New also is a ruffled deep red Carousel and a hard-to-find red-flowered variety with yellow and green leaves called Tapestry. A pink and white poinsettia, called Peaches and Cream, has undulated bracts and is another brilliant novelty. There is a wonderful selection out there.

Poinsettias are the number-one flowering plant being grown in North America today, not only because they embrace the holiday season, but they also last so long

and are easy to care for.

They love a coolish window area free of any cold drafts and a room temperature of about 15-18°C. The greatest challenge for so many people is when to water and yet it is so simple.

Just pick up the pot and feel its weight.

If it feels a little light, simply give the plant a good drink of warm water.

Don’t water again until the plant feels light once more.

Heavy wet soils are the enemy because poinsettia roots are very sensitive to root rot. You’ll soon get the hang of it.

Poinsettias add so much to our Christmas décor, and they combine well with many other plants to create some unique seasonal combinations. They are ready now to add an instant indoor festive touch.

Brian Minter is a master gardener who operates Minter Gardens in Chilliwack.

WHY WAIT?

Line-ups at Canada-U.S. border crossings can be long, especially on holidays.

Nov. 29 is ‘Black Friday’ in the United States – the first Friday following the American Thanksgiving Day holiday – and is considered the unofficial launch of the Christmas shopping season. But travellers north of the border can likely expect long waits should they choose to head south to shop.

From page 1 The expert on competition dynamics and consumer biases says he’s not sure if Canadian businesses can go head-to-head with Black Friday.

If they want to try, he adds, they’ll have to make the deals look as exciting as their American counterparts do.

And as Anita Huberman, executive director and CEO of the Surrey Board of Trade notes, Canadian and U.S. retailers “are not playing on a level competitive field.”

The variety of products and much lower prices across the border combined with the soft economy add up to people still willing to wait in line at the Peace Arch border crossing, Huberman says.

“I think throughout the year, we need to have a much more consistent approach to marketing,” she says.

“It’s about thinking innovatively around how to get that consumer in the door, but also to keep them coming back. And in the end it’s all about service.”

One person who believes strongly in customer service is Brent Bondarenko, co-owner of Kitchen Therapy, a kitchen product retailer in Grandview Corners just minutes by car from the U.S. border.

“We’re a store that’s incredibly personable,” says Bondarenko.

“We understand what it is to give exemplary customer service,

EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER

Anita Huberman, executive director and CEO of the Surrey Board of Trade, says while it’s not a level playing field when it comes to product pricing in the U.S. and Canada, she believes good customer service all year round wins consumer loyalty.

which we don’t do on a Black Friday [specifically]. We do it all year round.”

Bondarenko keeps his staff motivated to be helpful and listen to patrons, focusing on repeat customers through relationship building. Kitchen Therapy participates in supplier promotions instead, foregoing Black Friday and similar calendar events, he says.

Other businesses see the U.S. shopping occasion as an opportunity.

Central City Shopping Centre has added a sidewalk sale that runs more than a week, ending the Sunday after Black Friday.

“If we have something exciting happening in our own backyard then more shoppers will say ‘Yeah, we’ll take advantage of that,’” says Bill Rempel, vicepresident and general manager of Blackwood Partners, the company managing the mall.

The sidewalk sale is a hit with both his tenants and their customers, says Rempel. And big stores like Best Buy and The Brick will use the event as a chance to promote their upcoming Boxing Day sales.

While it remains to be seen if the various retailer initiatives will slow the stream of shoppers going south, they will certainly make for a more colourful Black Friday in Canada this year.
