Rather than charging a fee for students looking to upgrade their marks, the Surrey School District will no longer be offering courses to graduated adults.

The move comes after the provincial government cut funding to school districts for programs catering to adults who have already received their high school diploma. Until now, those who had graduated – not just in Canada but anywhere in the world – were able to attend district-run learning centres to upgrade free of charge. The province announced the ▶ “If I changes in December and they are to take effect May 1.

Surrey Trustee Laurae McNally said the district would what is the have had to charge close to $600 per course to continue to serve graduated adults. hope for “The fee was, what we thought, too much for what the the next colleges could do it for,” she said.

“I’m really sad to see it change because those students… generation?” when they actually got their diplomas and got on with AYESHA RAHIMYAR their lives… were probably the strongest advocates for the Surrey School District. They never forgot the help they got from us.”

Adult education instructor Aaron Douglas told The Leader he felt the provincial funding cuts were particularly unfair for immigrants, whose high school diplomas aren’t generally recognized by Canadian colleges and universities.

Ayesha Rahimyar, 32, is one of those students, having graduated in Pakistan 16 years ago. As a single mom, she wants to get a higher education so she can better support her young family and has been taking classes at Invergarry Adult Education Centre. continued on page 4

▶ SAFE SCHOOLS EXPERT SAYS MYSTIQUE OF GANG LIFE IS BEGINNING TO WEAR OFF

KEVIN DIAKIW

Parents are often mistaken as to when their kids get steered off course and land in a gang lifestyle, according to a local expert.

“People think that all of a sudden when their kids are 18, they become gang members,” according to Rob Rai, assistant manager of the Safe Schools Department for the Surrey School District.

“Rubbish,” he said.

The seed is planted early “because of all kinds of things are missing in their lives from the age of three.”

For example, parents are often working 10 to 12 hours a day to make ends meet.

“Parents are working all day to build a bright future for their children, but at what cost?” Rai asked.

“Maybe if I act out at school, somebody will pay attention to me there,” Rai said of some youths’ reaction.

If needs aren’t met at home or school, he said the problem often shifts to the police, when kids start acting out in public.

Rai said today’s parents have to be acutely aware of what their kids are up to.

Parents should not only be watching their children, but the friends their kids choose to hang out with as well.

They should be on the phone with other parents regularly to touch base about their kids’ activities.

Often youth will say they are going to stay at the other friend’s house, when neither occurs, and they end up in a park or elsewhere.

Rai acknowledges that parenting today is harder than it was 18 or 20 years ago.

“When we used to go out, back in the day, whoever you conRob Rai nected with on the telephone at home,” that’s who you would go out with, Rai said.

Now with smartphones and computers, the connections continue 24 hours a day – often with friends of friends who they don’t know.

Decades ago, youth would hear about a fight that occurred five days after the event, Rai said. Now, kids hear a fight is about to happen, and they’re expected to be there as back-up.

“All of the sudden, you’ve got

20, 30, 40, 50 kids there,” Rai said.

He does say the mystique around the gang life is beginning to wear off.

Youth are now starting to say, “I’m out, I don’t need to get shot,” Rai said.

He notes it helps to discuss with kids who are fearless about gang life what it will mean to their family to lose a son or a brother.

“By and large, most kids get it,” Rai said.

One of the components of prevention is the complement of police officers assigned to Surrey Schools, known as School Liaison Officers.

There are currently 10 for Surrey, which is the largest school district in the province.

Rai said in a perfect world, he’d love to have one for every school. There are 120 schools in the city, with 70,000 students.

The city has 34 new RCMP officers that have arrived this year, and another 100 on order for this year.

“If the powers that be dedicate some of those to my schools, I would be incredibly happy,” Rai said.

CPL BERT PAQUET ON POLCING

▼ AFTER MORE THAN TWO YEARS AS THE VOICE FOR THE DETACHMENT, CPL. BERT PAQUET LEAVES FOR MANITOBA TRACY HOLMES

Thursday (April 23) was a big day for Bert Paquet. It was likely the last day he’ll ever work in B.C. And he admits it comes with mixed feelings.

The corporal has been the face of Surrey RCMP since the fall of 2012, when he began what was to be just a two-week stint handling the detachment’s media section.

Two-and-a-half years later, he’s leaving to take command of media/ communications for the RCMP’s “D” Division – the province of Manitoba – which is head-quartered in Winnipeg.

“Our friends were really good to us over Christmas, knowing where we were going,” he chuckled last week, of the ribbing that flowed freely from the moment he shared word of his new address. “We received a lot of toques, mittens and mosquito spray.”

Paquet, 50, acknowledged he is ending his tenure in Surrey in the middle of what could be described as chaos, as the city – police and citizens alike – struggles to bring a peaceful end to a weeks-long drug turf war that, just 10 days ago,

claimed its first life.

“It has been a challenge,” Paquet said of the spree of gun violence. “It’s comforting to see the reaction of the community and residents… because it means they have an interest. They have a vested interest in safety of the community, in what is going on.”

As with a series of press conferences on the issue, a safety forum April 21 at Tamanawis Secondary was to also reiterate the role citizens have in helping to bring the situation to a close, he said.

“Policing is a team effort and without the community, we don’t stand a chance,” Paquet said. “And that’s in most cases that we investigate.”

Paquet was not new to speaking for the RCMP when he stepped into the role in Surrey. Just over a year prior, he was spokesperson for the Coquitlam detachment, and before that, represented the Integrated Security Unit during the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.

He described the latter as “one of the most satisfying and challenging duties” he has had since joining the Mounties in 1993.

Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet is moving on to take command of media/communications for RCMP’s ‘D’ Division in Manitoba. He will be headquartered in Winnipeg. EVAN SEAL

The Delta Board of Education has joined a chorus of school trustee voices across B.C asking the province to withdraw proposed legislation they say erodes their rights as elected officials.

Bill 11, the Education Statutes Amendment Act, was introduced last month and includes provisions that broaden the minister of education’s authority to issue administrative directives or appoint special advisors if deemed

The Surrey Board of Education has also asked for Bill 11 to be rescinded.

Fassbender did not return calls, but emailed a statement to The Leader Thursday saying the 60 B.C. school districts deliver similar services and there are “realistic opportunities” reduce overhead through shared services.

He said the amendments in Bill 11 make it clear school boards will have authority to make agreements with other boards or other public sector groups and that they’ll continue to have “considerable autonomy” over how they achieve savings.

“However, to maximize the benefits for the entire sector, we also want to make it clear that all districts need to participate in finding efficiencies and – if and where a clear business case shows it makes sense – the Minister of Education has the ultimate authority to require a board to participate in a specific supply arrangement,” Fassbender said.

necessary. It also allows the government to designate the service providers districts use.

An April 22 letter to Education Minister Peter Fassbender from the Delta Board of Education stresses that trustees have been democratically elected to “safeguard the resources” of the district.

“We must therefore speak against any legislation that would alter this mandate by placing an unelected Special Advisor, who is not accountable to our community, in front of our Trustees’ ability to serve our community,” wrote Laura Dixon, chair of Delta’s board.

Dixon was disappointed no consultation on Bill 11 took place, as per a recently signed co-governance MOU (memorandum of understanding) between school boards and the education ministry.

The B.C. School Trustees Association passed a motion at its AGM last weekend also asking that the sections of Bill 11 that override the authority of local education

In cutting the adult education funding to school districts, the province announced it will offer $7.5 million in grants to low-income adult students to help with tuition at colleges and universities.

Other existing adult education courses will continue to be offered by the Surrey School District, just not for students who’ve already graduated.

While the adult education sites at Queen Elizabeth Secondary (King George Boulevard and 94 Avenue) and Invergarry (88 Avenue and 127 Street) will remain in operation, the Newton Adult Education Centre (at Princess Margaret Secondary on 72 Avenue at 128 Street) will be closed.

There are about 4,000 full- and part-time adult education students in Surrey, about a third of whom are affected by the funding change.

The government estimates it will save $9 million per year as a result of the cut.

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Wednesday April 29 2015

Federal budget a political document The federal budget, brought down by Finance Minister Joe Oliver last Tuesday, is more of a political document than an economic one. This isn’t surprising, with a federal election planned for this October.

The governing Conservatives have made a clear statement of their political philosophy in the document. It contrasts sharply with the campaign platform offered up by the NDP, the Official Opposition.

Meanwhile, the Liberals have yet to release their election platform, and were left mouthing platitudes about how the budget “caters to the rich.” Liberal leader Justin Trudeau made it clear he won’t support the budget.

The Conservative philosophy, as stated in the budget, calls for a multitude of tax breaks, particularly for families with children and seniors.

It continues the emphasis on tax reduction and credits that have been part of virtually every Conservative budget since the party was first elected in 2006. It also continued the trend of making multi-year promises, but not funding them for years to come.

It is much in line with the approach taken by the late Jim Flaherty, finance minister from 2006-2014.

The Conservatives claim the budget is balanced, but it is only balanced because of a raid on the reserve fund and the sale of General Motors stock.

Nonetheless, the party does believe in keeping revenue and spending roughly in balance, and it is clearly not a “big government” party.

The NDP, by contrast, has also been clear that its philos-

RAESIDE

ophy calls for more government activity – particularly in the area of child care. Leader Thomas Mulcair has promised that an NDP government would institute $15-per-day for child care across Canada, at a cost of about $5 billion.

It also would reverse the Conservative plan which allows spouses to split income for tax purposes. The NDP decries this as a “break for the rich,” and is also critical of an increase to $10,000 in allowable contributions to Tax Free Savings Accounts each year.

As voters prepare for plenty of political spin over the next few months, (to say nothing of intensive advertising campaigns), a focus on the basic philosophies put forward by each party will be helpful in clearing up the confusion.

Coast Guard hysteria sinks lower BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

The Vancouver media’s frantic coverage of the Great Bunker Spill of 2015 has just about run out of fuel.

By late last week, the usually serious Globe and Mail was reduced to quizzing a U.S. expert who had at first told the CBC he thought the spill response was pretty good. But then he heard that it might have taken up to 12 hours until the leaking grain ship was completely under control, which would be not so good.

This U.S. expert admitted he has not “followed the Vancouver spill very closely,” and was basically speculating. But that’s OK, because the main purpose of this media frenzy is to feed the established narrative that the Harper government is gutting the Coast Guard while trying to ramp up heavy oil shipments to Asia.

Yeah, that makes sense. A University of Toronto philosophy prof recently suggested that Stephen Harper likes war.

Maybe he likes oil spills too.

A retired captain from the now-closed Kitsilano Coast Guard station became the latest of a series of disgruntled

ex-employees and union bosses to serve as the media’s go-to critics. He contradicted Coast Guard management at every turn, dismissing them as political appointees with little operational experience.

His claims about loss of spill response capability from Kitsilano are questionable at best. There was no talk of spill response when Kitsilano closed two years ago, because it was a search and rescue station.

Former B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair held almost daily news conferences as it closed. People are going to drown, warned a parade of union spokespeople.

It’s been two years, and nobody has.

Premier Christy Clark and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson were quick to summon TV cameras as oil-sheen angst spread through condo towers. They declared the Coast Guard response a failure before they had any real understanding of it.

Unifor, the union representing Coast Guard employees, has vowed a fullscale election advertising attack on

the Conservatives this year. On federal budget day, Unifor protested the closure of the Ucluelet Coast Guard ship monitoring station. Similar stations in Vancouver and Comox are also closing this year, replaced by a new monitoring system run from Prince Rupert and Victoria.

I asked Industry Minister James Moore, the federal minister responsible for B.C., if this is a reduction in service. He said 1970s-era ship tracking equipment is being replaced with a new system that has already been deployed on the East Coast, to improve safety.

“These fears were also raised back in the ’60s and ’70s, when lighthouses were de-staffed,” Moore said. “I remember people saying, oh my God, this is going to be the end. And it turned out to be complete nonsense.”

Unifor operatives rushed to the media again last week with dire news of a half-hour outage of this new system,

portraying this as evidence of a hightech disaster waiting to happen. (Ships were told to monitor an old-school emergency radio channel for that uneventful half hour.)

What the union is really doing is ramping up its election propaganda, and intensifying efforts to protect redundant positions that are being replaced by new technology.

There was a similar media campaign last year targeting the consolidation of Veterans’ Affairs into Service Canada offices. There are serious problems with services to veterans, but union featherbedding would not help them.

The B.C. government is also introducing digital technology, eliminating hundreds of paper-pushing jobs in the process, with a mostly realistic response from unions.

But in this federal election year, realism will be in short supply.

showers to hang or place your bag of clothes so you can keep an eye on them.

It gets better: Patrons are not allowed to walk on the bulkheads to cross from one side to the next. Walnut Grove pool next time and from now on. Big time fail.

I just received notification of a temporary tow yard coming next to the beautiful “old city hall” in Surrey (at Highway 10 and King George Boulevard).

Are you kidding those of us in Panorama/Sullivan who have waited for this oasis to blossom?

We need retail, not industrial. Look at the slow progress of clean-up of car-related lots near the Pattullo Bridge and along north King George Boulevard.

There is crazy development of nice townhouses and condos from King George to 152 Street and 56A to 64 Avenues.

▼ PIPELINE, SHIP OR ROAD, THE OIL WILL GET HERE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER Re: “NEB online map tracks pipeline trouble.”

Despite the fact that there are frequent pipeline spills, given the amount of oil that is run through them and how frequently they are operated, the amount spilled is not that significant.

Although there are harsh environmental effects, one thing I think a lot of people don’t realize is that whether or not a pipeline is built, the oil will still get produced, and ultimately make its way to where it is demanded.

Without pipelines, the oil will simply get transported via trains or trucks.

If pipelines are built, it is actually estimated to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emitted during the transportation process.

In this sense, one could argue that building the pipeline is a good idea.

Furthermore, there are many engineers working to ensure that leaks don’t occur.

The data shows that fewer leaks are happening as time moves forward, and it is therefore reasonable to assume that pipelines will be safer in the future.

Even now, oil pipelines are considered to be over engineered for their task.

I have no doubt that they are safe for use and efficient in what they do.

As far as safety is concerned I think it is covered, however whether they are good for the community is a different concern altogether.

“Just the quality of people on the unit, just the magnitude of the operation, of securing visitors, athletes, officials, over several weeks, during an era where the big sports, the major events, are known to be targeted by domestic terrorism, or just terrorism, period.”

In the past two-and-a-half years, Paquet has spoken to countless incidents Surrey police have faced – good, bad and ugly.

He was just a couple of months into his role when the South Surrey community was shocked by the hit-and-run of two women who were jogging across 152 Street at the intersection of 32 Avenue. Traffic-camera video from the scene captured the impact and – about 25 seconds

later– a figure on foot approaching the women and leaning over them before rapidly departing.

Police released the video to the public, appealed for information and three days later, announced the arrest of a 53-year-old Surrey man and the seizure of a BMW X1. A trial is set for September.

Paquet – noting the incident generated international interest – credited the co-operation between police, media and the community with the file’s speedy resolution.

“That was... probably one of the most prominent ones and one of the most satisfying as well.”

It’s no secret that much of what police deal with over the course of their careers isn’t pretty – death, destruction, senseless violence and profound grief, to name a few.

“It’s often described as 99 per cent boredom, one per cent sheer

terror,” Paquet said.

Paquet said his wife of 11 years, Pam, offers support “that has no price, no value,” when it comes to dealing with the tougher side of the job.

“She always pushes me to talk about my days, whether good or bad, and specifically if they were bad,” he said.

Born in Montreal, Paquet said he never gave policing a second thought until he, by fluke, sat next to two “C” Division officers while attending night school at the University of Montreal in 1993. They shared “endless” stories of their careers and deployments and the seed was planted.

Paquet called the recruiting centre the next day.

“Best decision I’ve ever made,” he said.

Paquet starts his post in Winnipeg next week.

April is Auto Crime Enforcement Month and, while auto crime continues to be a problem across the Lower Mainland, Surrey RCMP has a team dedicated to identifying, tracking, and incarcerating the city’s most prolific auto crime offenders.

than 75 people for auto theft and auto theft-related crimes with over 240 charges being laid. Police say the key to the team’s operation is that most crooks don’t know they’re being watched until it’s too late.

“Most people think our only line of defence against auto crime is the Bait Car Program,” said ACTT Cpl. Mike Spencer, who has worked in the auto theft field for over 10 years. “While we do utilize these deterrents from time to time, there are a multitude of other overt and covert techniques we use to gather intelligence and conduct our enforcement efforts.”

Pilot warned not to fly plane that crashed ▶ ULTRALIGHT LANDED ON HIGHWAY 91 LAST WEDNESDAY KEVIN DIAKIW

The parts needed for the safe flight of Paul Deane-Freeman’s ultralight were on the ground at the airport the morning the craft crash-landed on a busy Delta highway.

Deane-Freeman has publicly said his ultralight plane stalled before he landed it on Highway 91, north of 64 Avenue, at about 6:30 p.m. last Wednesday (April 22).

Deane-Freeman, 49, was taken to hospital with an injured rib. Miraculously, there were no other injuries.

“It was rush-hour traffic, so the possibilities were very big as to what could have happened, but he [the pilot] was able to bring it down in a fairly controlled yet hard landing,” said RCMP Cpl. Peter Sommerville.

The highway’s southbound lanes were closed and traffic was diverted around the area until about 9 p.m.

Wednesday.

Arnold Klappe, owner of King George Airpark, where Deane-Freeman took off that morning, told The Leader he had warned the new pilot several times not to fly his ultralight.

Problems with engine overheating had to be addressed before it was safe to fly, Klappe said.

“Paul and I and my mechanic had discussions about the aircraft not being safe to fly,” Klappe said Friday.

“We felt enough concern to actually give it to him in writing … a couple of weeks ago.”

A copy of that letter is being sent to Transport Canada and the National Transportation Safety Board, Klappe said.

“On Tuesday, he was playing around with the engine. I told him specifically ‘do not fly it.’” Klappe said. “On Wednesday, the day of the accident, I was gone most of the day and he chose to go fly it.”

Parts ordered to address the cooling system, Klappe said, had arrived at the airport the day Deane-Freeman took the aircraft up.

Klappe said he has since told Deane-Freeman to get his aircraft off King George Airpark and not to come back.

Klappe said in 35 years operating the field, it’s the first time he’s felt it necessary to

tell someone to leave and not return.

Klappe points out that flying ultralights is an extremely safe sport, noting that even during the rare times there is a problem, the low airspeed and steel cage makes injury extremely uncommon.

Deane-Freeman did not return repeated phone calls from The Leader.

He told CBC News “in the manual it says [these engines can be] subject to sudden stoppage, so I guess they mean that. They are not certified for use in any kind of aircraft, it says.”

Actually, the manual for the Rotax 582 (the engine Klappe says was in that plane), says stalling isn’t an issue specific to their engines.

“Any engine may seize or stall at any time. This could lead to a crash landing and possible severe injury or death,” the manual states. “For this reason, we recommend strict compliance with the maintenance and operation.”

The Delta Police is assisting the National Transportation Safety Board in its investigation.

people how to become functioning members of society as they recover from addiction.

The facility is the brainchild of John Volken, who started a furniture chain called United Furniture Warehouse in 1980, and by 2001 had a company with $200 million in annual revenues.

Volken sold that and began his dream of philanthropy called Welcome Home.

He started with a 20bed facility in Seattle and two small homes in Surrey.

Welcome Home has not always been so welcome at its 6869 King George Blvd. location.

Liz Walker, of the Newton Community Association, has said for years that the facility is poorly located.

She hasn’t changed her mind about that.

“I would have liked to have seen Welcome Home in an area that wasn’t so inundated with social services,” Walker said Thursday.

Volken, who is a recent recipient of the Dalai Lama’s Humanitarian Award, said he prefers getting his hands dirty rather than just giving money to causes.

It’s what fundraisers call “venture philanthropy,” a growing trend among business executives to exercise greater control over how their money is spent.

Volken also gets an emotional boost out of doing the work.

“I enjoy watching the progress,” Volken told The Leader when he was just getting started. “It’s not a sacrifice to me, I thank the heavenly God every day for the privilege of doing it.”

The Surrey-North Delta leader has been recognized for journalistic excellence at both the B.C. and Yukon Community Newspapers Association (BCYCNA) Ma Murray Community Newspaper awards and the Local Media Association awards (formerly the Suburban Newspapers of America).

In the Local Media Association’s awards competition, the results of which were announced Monday, The Leader won six awards: • Paula Carlson was named Editor of the Year for 2014.

• Sheila Reynolds won first place in the Best Continuing Coverage category for her ongoing stories on the Surrey Six mass murder trial.

• Reynolds also won third place in the Feature category for a profile of Eileen Mohan, mother of one of the Surrey Six victims.

• Best News Photo, honourable mention, went to Boaz Joseph.

• Joseph also won an honourable mention for Best Feature Photo.

• The Leader won second place for Best Front Page.

At the Ma Murray awards held Saturday night at the River Rock casino in Richmond, reporter Kevin Diakiw was awarded top prize in the Feature Article category for his powerful piece titled Fenced In, the story of domestic abuse survivor Robin Brown.

“This extraordinary tale of abuse reads like a movie script,” judges said. “Terrific pacing creates real momentum in the story. Although this is an ongoing societal problem recent news headlines make this piece even more compelling today.”

Photojournalist Boaz Joseph won first place in the Spot News category with a dramatic photograph of a blood-soaked murder suspect being arrested by police.

“An undeniable choice for first place,” said the judges.

In the Ad Design category, Ann Robinson and Shelley Foster won third place.

The BCYCNA (BC and Yukon community newspaper association) is a non-profit membership organization representing 126 community newspapers throughout B.C. and the Yukon.

The LMA represents more than 2,600 newspapers across North America.

Separate dog poop bins to stay in parks ▶ REGIONAL DISTRICT TO KEEP PAYING FOR RETRIEVAL SERVICE JEFF NAGEL

Metro Vancouver will keep paying contractors to cut open bags of doggie do that are deposited in bins in Metro regional parks so the excrement can be treated as sewage instead of going in the garbage to be landfilled or incinerated.

It started as a pilot project more than three years ago but officials now say it will continue on a permanent basis, either as a specific contracted service or as part of a broader future contract for hauling garbage and recyclables.

Metro paid New Westminster-based Scooby’s Dog Waste

Removal Service $60,000 last year to retrieve 97,000 kilograms from regional parks, cut open every bag, and dump the waste in with the sewage at the Iona sewage treatment plant.

The dog waste that piles up is a “very big” environmental issue for regional parks, according to Metro parks operations manager Gudrun Jensen.

It harms vegetation and exposes people and other animals to bacteria and parasites, she said.

“We have lots and lots of people that come with their dogs and that generates an enormous amount of dog waste,” Jensen said.

Nor does the region want it going in trash bins.

“It’s not strictly kosher to put into the solid waste stream because it is a bio-haz-

ardous material. What we’re trying to do is lessen that load a little bit.”

Metro is amending its violation enforcement bylaw to require dog walkers to dispose of bagged feces in the designated dog waste receptacles where available instead of in the garbage or elsewhere.

Violators will face a $125 fine.

Jensen said too many people aren’t using the red bins, hundreds of which are now in place in regional parks and trails where dogs are often walked.

“Our staff still find people leaving neatly tied up bags of dog poo on the side of the trail or hanging off the trees,” Jensen said.

“You can’t just bag it up and leave it at the side of the trail or wing it off into the trees.

You have to actually put it into a receptacle.”

Metro has estimated the 2.5 million dogs that visit its regional parks generate 500 tonnes of dog waste a year, so the recovery rate so far may be less than 20 per cent.

Jensen acknowledged much of it still ends up in the garbage.

“I wish more people would just flush it down the toilet,” Jensen added. “It would make life much simpler.”

Some local municipalities have considered paying for dog waste removal from their civic parks but none have yet signed on with Scooby’s.

Company owner Bill Droeske argues cities should also provide separate bins because the disposal of dog excrement is banned from the landfill.

“That poop is going into the landfill,” he said. “Even though it’s against the law, the cities do it.”

Droeske has one staff worker who cuts open dog waste bags and puts them in a tanker truck that goes to the treatment plant.

Metro is also moving to ban people from stashing their stuff in Metro regional parks.

A new bylaw amendment prohibits anyone from leaving non-regional park property in a regional park and violators face a $125 fine.

Too many people were stashing items such as kayaks for their own later use, Jensen said, creating a liability risk.

“It’s not appropriate because we can’t control the safety of those things,” Jensen said.

Other examples include coolers and barbecues locked up at beaches, she said, as well as bikes stashed in the woods along trails.

She stressed the aim is to stop overnight caching of equipment, not to deter people from riding a bike in a park and locking it up while they swim at a beach or hike on a trail.

Ruling throws port trucking into ‘chaos’ ▶ COURT FINDS NEW CONTAINER TRUCK LICENCES UNFAIR JEFF NAGEL

Port Metro Vancouver is reviewing its options after a Federal Court judge found its new licensing system that sharply reduced the number of permitted container truckers was imposed unfairly.

The new licence system cut up to 600 trucks from the system in January, resulting in layoffs of drivers, and spawning a lawsuit that challenged the port’s pointbased system for deciding the winners and losers.

The methodology gave an advantage to companies that applied early and was “procedurally deficient and profoundly unfair,” Judge Robert Barnes found.

New licences were part of the reforms

flowed from a month-long container truckers strike last year and aimed to end rampant under-cutting caused by too many trucks competing for business.

“While we endeavoured to apply the selection process in as fair a method as possible, with respect to certain applications, the Federal Court of Canada has disagreed,” the port said in a statement.

It’s unclear whether the port will appeal the ruling, which directs the port to issue licences to late-filing companies that otherwise met the same standard as the early filers.

Control of truck licensing is supposed to shift to a provincial trucking commissioner, who has held off exerting authority pending the outcome of the court case.

“It creates more chaos,” said Gavin McGarrigle, B.C. area director for Unifor, which represents some unionized

▶ OPPOSITION CALLED FOR DISCLOSURE AFTER RUSH TO MAKE DEADLINE TOM FLETCHER

The B.C. government released details of its pre-election property sales Thursday, showing it came out with more money overall than appraisals or B.C. Assessment Authority values forecast.

Opposition critics called for the disclosure after obtaining government memos that showed a rush to make the deadline for the 2013-14 fiscal year, where the B.C. Liberals campaigned on a balanced budget tabled before the 2013 election.

NDP critics highlighted property in Coquitlam that sold for millions less than an appraiser estimated it would get.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the 14 Burke Mountain properties are an “outlier” in the dozens of land sales that closed during the finance ministry’s budget-balancing program.

Later appraisals by the City of Coquitlam identified steeper terrain and streams with protective setbacks that limited their development, decreasing their market value by 20 per cent overall.

Development property south of the

B.C. legislature beat its appraisal by $13 million, selling for $34 million to help the government meet a $350 million target to end the fiscal year.

A former hospital site in Surrey was sold for $20.5 million, $3 million less than its B.C. Assessment Authority value for property tax purposes.

Finance ministry records showed the sale price was midway between two appraisals, one commissioned by the government and the other by the buyer.

De Jong said surplus Crown property is sold every year, with about 1,500 properties disposed of in the last 30 years.

They will continue, but there won’t be another identified program in future budgets now that post-recession deficits have ended, he said.

NDP finance critic Carole James said there was an obvious rush to meet ministry targets for asset sales, and some could continue to be sold below market value without the public knowing.

Many of the surplus properties are school sites, and there are other transactions with municipalities.

LEADER FILE

said supported the new system but has not delivered on all of its commitments, particularly rate changes that were promised in January.

Unifor and affected companies protested the licence reforms and are now supposed to be starting contract negotiations, McGarrigle said.

“We don’t know where we stand in terms of the rates for the law. And we don’t know how many truckers are going to be out there. So it’s pretty hard to bargain a new collective agreement when you’ve got this chaos.”

He said the union supports a last-in-firstout system where any truck licence reductions are done on the basis of seniority.

B.C. Trucking Association president and CEO Louise Yako said it’s important to the entire port supply chain to clarify the uncertainty left by the ruling.

Toxins detected in hawks ▶ TESTS FIND HIGH LEVELS OF FLAME RETARDANTS IN AREA RAPTORS JEFF NAGEL

EVERY STEP TELLS A STORY

Surrey Sunday, May 3 Bear Creek Park Check in: 8:00 am Register, donate or volunteer today. mswalks.ca 604-602-3221 kalyna.zazelenchuk@mssociety.ca

Researchers have found high levels of toxic flame retardants in Lower Mainland raptors, including one Cooper’s hawk in Langley with the highest levels of the contaminant ever recorded in a wild bird.

The average concentration of PBDEs, a flame retardant used on furniture, electronics and carpets, averaged 1,873 parts per billion in the livers of 15 raptors tested in the Lower Mainland, and that reading hit 197,000 in the case of the Langley hawk.

The birds tested between 2000 and 2009 had all died from being hit by cars or similar trauma.

Lead researcher Kyle Elliott, from McGill University, says more species are adapting to urban areas, where they encounter higher

levels of chemical pollutants, which can then bioaccumulate in top predators. Hawks, for example, eat starlings that often feed on garbage.

Elliott said it’s impossible to say the ultra-toxic hawk was contaminated by the waste transfer station in Langley – a scenario Metro Vancouver officials doubt because garbage there is swiftly compacted, giving birds little access – but he suspects avian access to garbage is part of the overall problem, whether it’s via landfills, dumpsters or bagged garbage at the curb.

“There were very high levels across the entire Lower Mainland,” he told Black Press.

“We do know these brominated flame retardants are often associated with human refuse. And starlings have 15 times higher levels near the Burns Bog landfill as compared to other sites in the Lower Mainland.”

Elliott said the PBDE levels found in Cooper’s hawks in the

Lower Mainland were higher than found in any other study elsewhere.

The Langley hawk, found dead in 2002, showed no signs of emaciation or sickness but had PBDE levels 100 times higher than levels known to decrease thyroid levels in eagles and suppress the immune system in kestrels, Elliott said.

The findings were presented in a research paper in the journal Science of the Total Environment.

More research is underway to gauge the sources and effects of chemicals like PBDEs

on a breeding group of Cooper’s hawks in the Metro Vancouver area.

The Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society (OWL) in Delta often takes in injured raptors found near the Vancouver landfill in Delta with injuries or infections that defy explanation and make treatment challenging, according to bird care supervisor Martina Versteeg.

“We definitely think it has something to do with human waste,” she said.

“We see birds come in with infections, inflammation, pus – all these things – and the

test results often come back sterile. So what is it? Is it the chemicals or flame retardants doing it?

“One time we had an eagle that coughed up the handle of a women’s razor,” Versteeg said. “It was pink so it looked like a piece of fish. And if they’re fighting over it they may just swallow it real quick and go on their day. She came here and coughed that up.”

Use of PBDEs was restricted several years ago but old products continue to end up in landfills so the legacy chemicals can have a lingering effect

assessment, Metro Vancouver regional district directors say.

The regional board is expected to pass that recommendation from its climate action committee after concerns were raised about the potential risk to downstream communities in the event of a spill.

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the Chilliwack location of the proposed Aevitas recycling plant within 200 metres of the Fraser presents serious risks that require a detailed environmental review.

“My initial reaction was this is something people would have done in the 1950s,” Corrigan said. “Why would you do this there given all the other potential locations?”

The plant would recycle metal, glass and mercury from light bulbs and remove PCBs from transformer oil for re-use but the prospect has stirred up fierce opposition in the Fraser Valley.

The province is considering an environmental assessment but has first directed Aevitas to engage in more public consultation.

Corrigan said he’s concerned more consultation will take the place of a full review.

Chilliwack city council has agreed to the project in principle and rezoned the land, but a final approval decision rests with the environment ministry.

Support for Metro merge â–ś BUT REGIONAL POLL SHOWS MOST REJECT A SINGLE MEGA-CITY JEFF NAGEL

A new poll has found nearly three-quarters of Metro Vancouver residents think the region should be reorganized into fewer municipalities, but there’s no agreement on how far any amalgamation attempt should go.

Just 14 per cent of those surveyed by the Angus Reid Institute supported merging all

24 local governments into a single Metro Vancouver super-city, while 26 per cent would keep all the existing municipalities, and the rest are split between other options to redraw boundaries.

The survey found 33 per cent think two to five cities could serve the region well, while 13 per cent said it would take six to 15 and another 15 per cent suggested 16 to 23.

As for how regional government should work, 41 per cent support the current system of electing local mayors and councillors, who then represent their municipalities at the Metro

Vancouver regional district board.

Another 31 per cent preferred a directly elected regional board that deals with select issues, but leaves most matters to local councils.

Pollsters said the results show little consensus and only modest appetite for change.

Residents of smaller and midsized cities within Metro Vancouver tended to be less-supportive of amalgamating municipalities than residents of Vancouver or Surrey.

Respondents were evenly split on whether policing should be regionalized.

With savings this good, it’s hard to be subtle.

Covington confident prior to NFL draft ▶ SURREY NATIVE CHASING A DREAM OF PLAYING PROFESSIONALLY RICK KUPCHUK

The next few days will be the biggest in the life of Christian Covington.

After playing three seasons of NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) football with the Rice Owls in Houston, Texas, the 21-year-old has declared himself eligible for the National Football League (NFL) Draft.

And if the countless mock drafts on football websites – and reports posted by the NFL on its own site – are accurate, Covington will be among a handful of Canadians chosen. Just 30 Canadians have been drafted over the past three decades.

“I’m nervous, I’m anxious,” he admitted. “I want to get it over with and go back to football. But it’s a process, and you have to allow the process to unravel at its own pace.”

Covington is back in Surrey, at home with his parents, where friends and family will join him to watch this weekend’s draft.

“This is very much a good mental break,” he told The Leader Sunday, taking break from power-washing the driveway. “I find myself at my most relaxed when I’m with my family.”

The first round, with each of the 32 NFL teams making one selection, takes place Thursday night.

The second and third rounds are Friday evening, with rounds four through seven set for Saturday. Covington admits it will be difficult to watch while waiting to hear his name mentioned, adding his father, Canadian Football League Hall of Famer Grover Covington, is “kind of stressing out, too.”

“I’m watching. I’m gonna be right here at home,” Christian said.

“I have family coming in from Winnipeg, from California, from Houston. Just to have family and good friends around me, nothing better than that.

“Hopefully it’s over quick. Realistically, I’m hoping to hear my name called Friday. If not, I

Since he left for Rice University in 2011, his visits home have been few, and usually short.

His current stay ranks among the longest, and is a welcome break from academics and athletics, both of which he excelled at during his four years in Hous-

Covington said the championship was what he will remember most about being an Owl. “Not many players can say they’ve been on a team that’s a part of school history,” he said. “It was the first one in 56 years, it was unbelievable.”

A knee injury limited his participation to just seven games last season, and has some critics wondering about his decision to enter the draft. The injury sidelined him for the final five games of the schedule, as well as the Hawaii Bowl on Dec. 24 in Honolulu.

“I don’t regret my decision, I’m fully recovered. People told me, with my knee injury, I wouldn’t be able

Since the injury, he has had workouts with the Houston Texas, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions.

Should Covington achieve his goal of playing in the NFL, he will have followed a similar career path as his American-born father. Grover Covington, a North Carolina native, travelled north of the border for a 10-year Hall of Fame career in Canada with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. After settling in Surrey, he and wife Natasha are watching their Canadian-born son possibly heading south to play as a pro.

“It’s kind of funny to think about that,” Christian said, adding he never thought of the coincidence.

“It’s kind of ironic.”

Semiahmoo Minor Hockey looks to revive juvenile division ▶ NEW TEAM FOR 18-20 YEAR-OLDS TO BE LAUNCHED FOR NEXT SEASON NICK GREENIZAN

Every time Douglas Cannon hears a 17-year-old midget player announce that it’s his last year playing hockey, it breaks his heart.

Cannon – like many others, to be sure – believes hockey is a game that can be played for a lifetime, but as players “age out” of the minor hockey system, many quit the game altogether.

And while some will pick up the sport later as adults, Cannon feels it’s important to bridge that gap between midget hockey and adult leagues.

It’s why he and others at Semi-

ahmoo Minor Hockey are aiming to revive the association’s juvenile division, for players aged 18-20.

Semi has not iced a juvenile squad since the 2010/11 season, though other nearby associations – in Cloverdale, Langley – have teams, on which a few former Semiahmoo juvenile-aged players have played in recent years, in lieu of a Semi-based team.

Semiahmoo aims to have at least one juvenile team ready for the 2015 season this fall.

“My primary goal is to stop kids from saying, and believing, that it’s their last year of hockey,” Cannon explained. “It’s such a shock to hear that. It’s always baffled me that you play a sport all through elementary school and high school, and then just all of a sudden, you quit what

you love.

“Semiahmoo has more than enough (potential) players to get a team together, so it just made sense to try – let’s give these kids the option to keep playing.”

▶ “Semiahmoo has more than enough players to get a team together...”

DOUGLAS CANNON

Cannon concedes there are other reasons, aside from a lack of playing options, that cause some to quit when they reach 17 or 18 years old.

At that age, many players graduate

high school and head off to college or join the workforce, and their priorities change.

But in the midst of all those new life changes, Cannon – who played juvenile hockey for Semiahmoo in the 1970s – said continuing to play hockey can be a “welcome break from your new reality.”

“You’ve got all these changes going on in your life, but once or twice a week, you can have something familiar, where not everything’s coming at you brand new,” he said.

Cannon said some of his best memories are from his days playing minor hockey, including juvenile.

“When I played, it was a very welcome part of my life,” he said. “And if you ask any player what their best memories are, it’s the road trips and the friendships they made.”

Depending on numbers, it is possible that Semiahmoo could ice multiple juvenile teams – including, potentially, an A division squad – but for now, the initial focus will be on putting together a houseleague/non-contact team.

“It would be up to the kids, whether they’d want to play ‘A’ or at the rec-level, but for now, just letting the kids know is the first step,” he said.

“Adult hockey leagues are non-contact, so hopefully we can provide a transition between youth and adult hockey. This is the hockey you’re going to play for the rest of your life.”
