B.C. HELPS FUND NEW HOMELESS SHELTER

▶ BUT DOWNTOWN SURREY BIA REPORT SAYS GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO STEP UP SUPPORT SHEILA REYNOLDS

A 40-bed temporary winter shelter will be opened near the former Dell Hotel site in Whalley beginning in November, the provincial government promised Tuesday.

Rich Coleman, the B.C. minister responsible for housing, said the province will provide approximately $400,000 to Lookout Emergency Aid Society to operate the new Surrey shelter, intended to provide a warm, safe place to stay for those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. continued on page 4

A combination of shrinking inventory and increasing demand from abroad has Surrey’s housing prices booming, according to a recent real estate report.

A Royal LePage House Price Survey

released Wednesday shows housing prices in the last year have jumped by eight per cent in Surrey.

“A significant amount of housing demand in Surrey is being driven by home buyers coming from China,” the report says. continued on page 4

Jail time for Surrey hit-andrun that killed man

▼ JAGJIT SINGH BASRA SENTENCED TO NINE MONTHS IN JAIL FOR FAILING TO STOP WHEN HE STRUCK SHAMUS MACKAY SHEILA REYNOLDS

A Surrey driver who did not stop after hitting and killing a teen five years ago has been sentenced to nine months in jail.

Jagjit Singh Basra, 37, was sentenced in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster on Tuesday (Oct. 13).

He was found guilty in May of failing to stop his vehicle or offer assistance when the car he was driving in September 2010 struck pedestrian Shamus Travis William MacKay. During the trial, the court heard that Basra and his girlfriend were driving home from a date when they heard a thud near Fraser Highway and 168 Street and saw the windshield was broken.

Basra, who had a suspended licence at the time, drove a bit further before stopping to let his girlfriend drive.

They both testified at trial they didn’t see what hit the car, but thought someone might have thrown a rock.

In fact, their car had hit MacKay while he was walking on Fraser Highway, his body thrown into a ditch after impact. A passenger in a passing car saw him, pulled him from the ditch and called 911.

McKay, 19, died about an hour later from blunt force trauma to the head.

Basra and his girlfriend drove further before stopping again.

They called a relative and then booked an appointment with an emergency Shamus MacKay windshield repair service before taking a cab to Basra’s residence for the night.

In the morning, Basra awoke to news a pedestrian had been struck and killed on Fraser Highway.

He had the window repaired, took the car to the body shop and at some point, called a lawyer, who contacted police.

Arrangements were made, but it took police several subsequent attempts to contact Basra’s lawyer before the driver turned himself in.

In the meantime, Shamus’s mom made an emotional public plea, urging the driver to come forward. She wept, saying Shamus was a gentle, “good guy” who would be the first to help if anyone was in trouble.

In convicting Basra, Justice Frits Verhoeven said the driver was “well-aware” of the possibility the collision had involved a person, but chose not to investigate.

“He did not do so because he did not want to learn the truth,” Verhoeven said.

Basra’s sentence also includes a five-year driving ban.

Major bus system overhaul unveiled ▼ TRANSLINK IS ASKING FOR PUBLIC INPUT ON NEW PROPOSED ROUTES JEFF NAGEL

TransLink has unveiled a major reconfiguration of bus routes and is asking for public input on what it has proposed.

The extensive changes are being driven in large part by the opening of the 11-kilometre Evergreen SkyTrain extension from Burnaby to Port Moody and Coquitlam next fall.

That requires a major re-jig of bus routes to connect to the six new Evergreen stations, but it also means buses that currently run on the 97 B Line to the Tri Cities will be freed up and redeployed elsewhere.

TransLink has been steadily “optimizing” its routes each year to better fit the buses it has to evolving rider demand – sometimes triggering complaints about reduced local service – but with 85 changes proposed, this is the biggest overhaul in years.

“The reason there are so many changes all at once is to get ready for the Evergreen extension,” said spokesperson Jennifer Morland. “That’s really going to change the landscape for transportation and transit as a whole.”

Some of the significant changes that would be rolled out in 2016 include: • The 394 bus along King George Boulevard between Surrey Central and White Rock will get increased rush hour service with limited stops. It won’t be B-Line level service, which TransLink would have delivered there if the transit sales tax referendum passed. But it’s expected to be a ▶ “The reason significant improvement. there are so many • Tsawwassen routes are rejigged to reflect the expected changes... is to opening in 2016 of the huge new get ready for Tsawwassen Mills mall. The 620 route to the BC Ferries terminal the Evergreen from Bridgeport Station, which extension.” handles 90 per cent of the foot passengers coming off the ferries, JENNIFER MORLAND

will become a limited stop service.

• The 509 route from Langley will run over the Port Mann Bridge, relieving pressure on the overcrowded 555 route from Langley’s Carvolth Exchange to Lougheed Station.

• The 595 in Langley will now run along 208 Street instead of 200th to serve growing rider demand. The 501 will still run on 200th.

• Elimination of the TrainBus service that mirrors the West Coast Express at additional times when the commuter train doesn’t run. Instead, there will be more frequency on the 701 bus that carries riders from Mission, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows and Port Coquitlam to the Evergreen SkyTrain terminus at Coquitlam Centre.

• Conversion of the 135 bus along Hastings in Vancouver and Burnaby to a B-Line express bus, and an improvement in service toward the B-Line standard along 41st Avenue.

South Surrey-White Rock could see some of the most extensive changes, which would restore all-day 30-minute bus frequency on key routes that had been cut to one-hour frequency.

Two different options have been put out for public comment there – one stressing improved service to local neighbourhoods while the other would instead put more service on commuter routes that take passengers in and out of the South Surrey area.

Morland said that’s the main area where TransLink is still weighing significant trade-offs before choosing a preferred option.

When the Evergreen extension opens (TransLink is no longer calling it the Evergreen Line), SkyTrain passengers will be able to ride from Coquitlam or Port Moody without transfer to VCCClark on the Millennium Line.

The SkyTrain section currently called the Millennium Line from Columbia in New Westminster to Production Way-University will become a branch of the Expo Line. Passengers boarding southeast bound SkyTrains in Vancouver or Burnaby will choose between Expo Line trains bound for King George if they’re heading for Surrey or else “Expo Line to Production Way-University” to reach stations such as Sapperton or Braid.

Passengers taking SkyTrain between Surrey and the Tri Cities will have to transfer twice, at Lougheed and Columbia stations.

Morland said none of the changes are final and comments are being accepted until Nov. 6 at www.translink.ca/tnc. That site includes maps and details of the route changes in each area.

Coleman said opening additional shelters in the winter is a “critical” step in addressing homelessness provincewide.

“We have to ensure B.C.’s most vulnerable people have safe shelter when they need it most – only then are we able to connect them with the support services that will set them up for more stable, permanent housing.”

Shayne Williams, executive director at Lookout, said winter shelters allow his organization to serve individuals they might not otherwise come in contact with.

“Through these interactions the Lookout Society can help stabilize their lives, connect them with the community services and find them appropriate housing,” said Williams.

The province is also providing additional funding for extreme weather shelters in Surrey, which will open as needed between November and April, with locations to be determined by the end of October.

teenagers and their parents, teachers, emergency responders including police, and lawyers who deal with motor vehicle cases.

Of particular note is the examination of the myth, widely believed however, that marijuana doesn’t impair drivers, and in fact improves their driving. The report noted as follows: • In Colorado and Washington States, where, as of August 2015, marijuana possession and use have been decriminalized, most regular marijuana users who were surveyed “drove “high” on a regular basis. They believe they can compensate for any effects of marijuana, for instance by driving more slowly or by allowing greater headways. They believe it is safer to drive after using marijuana than after drinking alcohol.”

• In Australia, many young drivers “were not aware that drugs can impair driving. Many believe that drugged driving was safer than alcohol-impaired driving or that drugs improved their driving.

• In Canada, young drivers “had similar views: drugged driving is less risky and less easily detected than alcohol-impaired driving; in particular, marijuana use does not impair and may improve their driving.”

This myth persists partly because the issues involved in studying the crash risk of drugs are complex: for example the need to control for other factors that affect crash risk; and the fact that most crash data record only drug presence rather than drug concentrations. The report asserts, however, the following “defensible conclusions” regarding drugs and crash risk: • Any drug may increase a driver’s crash risk.

• The effect of any drug varies substantially between drivers.

• The effect of any drug increases as its concentration increases.

• Most illegal drugs and marijuana may at least double a driver’s crash risk.

• Some individual drugs, multiple drugs and drugs combined with alcohol increase crash risk substantially.

n September 30, 2015 the (US) Governors Highway Safety Association [GHSA] published Drug-Impaired Driving, a report authored by Dr. Jim Hedlund, formerly a senior official with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration [NHTSA], assisted by an advisory panel of experts from US state and national traffic safety organizations.

The need for such a publication had been noted in an open forum on drugged driving at GHSA’s 2014 Annual Meeting.

Funding for its preparation was provided by the (US) Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility. See: www.ghsa.org/html/ publications/2015drugged.html.

The key sections of the 51-page report address defining and understanding the extent of the problem of drug impaired driving, the existing laws and law enforcement regimes addressing it, and the need for educational, law enforcement, and research and data collection programs.

Media reports have focused on the highlights: that drunk driving rates are declining while drugged driving rates are increasing and that, “In 2013, the most recent year for which data are available, NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) reported that drugs were present in 40% of the fatally-injured drivers with a known test result, almost the same level as alcohol.

NHTSA’s 2013–2014 roadside survey found drugs in 22% of all drivers both on weekend nights and on weekday days. In particular, marijuana use is increasing.” …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor The report is clearly written, wellwith regular weekly contributions from summarized, and well worth review by Leslie McGuffin, LL.B

CARLA QUALTROUGH Delta

For immediate Release Delta Fire Fighters are backing Carla Qualtrough as their choice in the October 19th federal election.

Delta BC, October 2, 2015 — Delta Fire Fighters Local IAFF 1763 is proud to endorse Carla Qualtrough for the election as the MP for Delta.

Local IAFF 1763 President Brad Wilson noted that “Carla has demonstrated commitment to our community which combined with her clear understanding of the most pressing issues that Fire Fighters and other First Responders confront won our local support.”

The Delta Fire Fighters met with local candidates and saw in Qualtrough an articulate fighter who would champion the issues that are most important to First Responders and the communities they serve.

“Carla’s list of personal and professional accomplishments is impressive: human rights lawyer, Paralympic medalist and proud mother of four”, President Brad Wilson stated. “She is also married to a veteran and the mother of a son in military training.

She understands service and sacrifice. Her humble, grounded style combined with commitment to serving others resonated with our members and we think this will resonate with Delta voters as well.”

“I am honoured to receive this endorsement and look forward to the opportunity to be a vocal advocate as a Member of Parliament,” responds Qualtrough.

“The Delta Fire Fighters perform essential work in our community and I am committed to supporting them.”

As a show of support, members of the Delta Fire Fighters will join Qualtrough at public events in the weeks to come.

Says Wilson, Carla has proven she can deliver for our community and will be an excellent Member of Parliament for the new riding of Delta.”

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Fr i d ay O c to b e r 1 6 2 0 1 5

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Should Canada implement online voting for the next federal election?

To answer, go to the home page of our website at surreyleader.com

Last week we asked: Do you feel you are well-informed about the federal parties’ platforms?

Here’s how you responded:

Yes 71% No 29%

Tight races in Surrey, Delta It is quite possible that voters in Surrey and Delta will be taking part in the most competitive elections in many years, for all or most of the six local seats in the House of Commons.

That is likely why many came out to vote at advance polls over the weekend. Across Canada, 3.6 million voted at the four-day advance polls – up 71 per cent from the 2011 totals. In Surrey, a number of voting stations had lengthy line-ups. Elections Canada clearly had not expected so many to come and vote early.

It seems certain voter turnout will be up in this election. There are a number of reasons.

It has been a lengthy election campaign, the longest in modern Canadian history, so very few people can say they aren’t aware of it. The prime minister has been in office for almost 10 years and, as a result of decisions made over that period, there is clearly a mood for change among many.

Strategic voting has been highlighted more than ever, and has been aided by several high-profile campaigns and detailed instructions on the Internet.

The Liberals, in particular, have run an energetic campaign which has captured the attention of some people who might normally ignore a federal election. Justin Trudeau’s relative youth, when compared to his two main rivals, and his familiarity, as the son of a well-known former prime

minister, have been factors in the added interest.

Surrey and Delta are not normally Liberal-friendly areas.

Sukh Dhaliwal, who was MP for Newton-North Delta from 2006 to 2011, was the first Liberal elected to represent any part of Surrey since 1953. Dhaliwal lost his seat in 2011 to the NDP’s Jinny Sims but is running again in the re-jigged riding taking in most of the area. It is now known as Surrey-Newton.

Delta last elected a Liberal MP in 1968 (Pierre Trudeau’s inaugural campaign), when Tom Goode became MP. He lost his seat in 1972, and was soon elected Delta mayor.

This time around, the Liberals are running hard in all six local ridings, which have been held by either the Conservatives (and their predecessor parties) or NDP for decades. While it appears to be a long shot that the Liberals could win South Surrey-White Rock, where former Surrey mayor Dianne Watts is running for the Conservatives, or Delta, where incumbent Conservative MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay is seeking re-election, observers who closely track polls say it is possible.

In South Surrey-White Rock, former Surrey councillor Judy Higginbotham took over partway through the campaign as the Liberal candidate. Pixie Hobby

represents the NDP. In Delta, Carla Qualtrough is the Liberal candidate while the NDP is represented by Jeremy Leveque.

In Surrey-Newton, it is sure to be a three-way race between Dhaliwal, Sims and Conservative Harpreet Singh.

Fleetwood-Port Kells also appears to be a genuine three-way race between four-term Conservative MP Nina Grewal, Ken Hardie of the Liberals and Garry Begg on the NDP. Liberal candidate Randeep Sarai is vying with NDP candidate and incumbent MP Jasbir Sandhu in Surrey Centre, the former Surrey-North seat. It appears that Conservative candidate Sucha Thind is further behind in what has usually been a strong NDP area (with the notable exception of the Chuck Cadman years).

Cloverdale-Langley City is seen by observers as also being fairly close, although Conservative Dean Drysdale apparently has an edge in the polls. Liberal John Aldag and NDP Rebecca Smith have run energetic campaigns.

The likelihood that all six ridings may be closer races than they have been in the past is a very good reason to vote on Monday.

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Still confused as election day nears GUEST VIEW ▼

Nick Greenizan

My wife and I often joke that, even though we don’t have many similar interests – I love sports, she loves TV shows with titles that begin with “Housewives of…” – our relationship works because, as she eloquently put it on one of our first dates, “You hate the same things that I hate.”

Awww.

It’s that spirit of positivity that led recently into a rare discussion of politics, during which I’d mentioned I still had no idea who I would vote for on Oct. 19.

“I hate all the party leaders equally,” I said, joking, but sort of not.

“Well, who do you hate the least?” my wife asked.

And ignoring for the moment that a voting strategy based on dislike probably isn’t the best example of democracy in action, I had no answer anyway.

I’ve never been the most politically minded person. This is perhaps owing to the fact that, as George Costanza once said in an episode of Seinfeld, “If it’s not about sports, I find it very hard to concentrate.”

Or it could be that my political will was quashed years ago, when, in the one and only political science class I ever took in college, I nearly failed an assignment because I was told by my professor – an enthusiastic supporter and unabashed member of a certain political party – that the opinion I expressed in an opinion essay was wrong.

I’ve also been my own worst enemy. I haven’t always cared as much as I should.

I’ve skipped voting on election night if there’s been a good game on TV. And I distinctly remember, in one of my first-ever opportunities to vote upon

reaching legal age, I voted for a provincial candidate of a so-called “fringe” party because, and only because, I thought he kind of looked like Mr. T. But regardless of my past indifference, I care now. I pay attention to what party leaders say, I look up the platforms of each and figure out what I like and what I don’t.

And, yet, I am still as confused as ever.

My decision – and perhaps that of others in my neighbourhood – is clouded by the fact that we live on the border of two ridings, and election signs for each seem to overlap. It’s tough enough to decide between parties, let alone have to figure out which of a party’s two candidates is actually yours.

For people truly invested and interest-

ed, it’s not a problem. But in an election season that’s been screaming for change – for new, younger voters to come to the forefront – it’s just another roadblock.

So maybe, as my wife suggested, I’ll vote for the party I hate the least.

Or, and perhaps this is the best solution, I simply ignore party affiliation and vote for the individual candidate in my riding whom I think will do the best job locally. A person who will fight for local issues, who will be accountable to his or her local constituents, rather than just be another cog in the machine in Ottawa.

And if I still can’t decide come election day, maybe I’ll just vote for whoever looks most like Mr. T. Nick Greenizan is a reporter at the Peace Arch News, a sister paper to The Leader.

Transit: There is a better way ▼ $700 MILLION WOULD BE BETTER SPENT ON TRAMTRAINS, RATHER THAN LRT OR SKYTRAIN The Conservatives have re-announced the committed $700-million portion for the proposed Surrey Light Rail Transit (LRT).

The total cost of this project will be over $2 billion, yet present passenger flows are below the amount needed to make the operation viable for light rail and it would be fiscally suicidal for SkyTrain expansion.

There is another way.

Almost five years to the day, the Rail for the Valley group released a study done by Leewood Projects in the UK, proposing a modern LRT solution that would connect Richmond and downtown Vancouver to Chilliwack using the former BC Electric interurban route, that would also service Cloverdale, Langley and Abbotsford, for just under $1 billion.

The study envisioned the use of TramTrain, a light rail vehicle that can be used as a streetcar or a passenger train, using existing rail tracks.

TramTrain was first pioneered in Karlsruhe, Germany in 1992 and has been an outstanding success.

So successful that today there are 12 lines – 265 kilometres of route mileage serving 190 stations.

A Fraser Valley TramTrain service to Vancouver and Richmond would give faster travel times than using the proposed LRT and SkyTrain Expo Lines, as well as giving residents in Abbotsford and Chilliwack direct transit service to Vancouver.

Using TramTrain in the Fraser Valley would be a win-win situation for both transit customers and the taxpayer. Even former TransLink CEO, Tom

7

Prendergast, was supportive of the idea.

TramTrain is a 21st-century innovation that could provide more transit to more locations at a cheaper cost than the current transit projects proposed by TransLink.

TramTrain puts the transit customer first, which in Metro Vancouver, is a novel idea.

▼ ADDRESSING LITTER AND ILLEGAL DUMPING WILL MAKE THE COMMUNITY SAFER FOR EVERYONE Re: Illegal dumping.

This is a problem that so many people see and do every day, but it never seems to change, and I, as a teenager, am concerned about this.

Illegal dumping is a big problem, not because it doesn’t make the city look good, but because the trash is just left there and that can attract unwanted animals, which can lead to dangerous situations I have been in the car and pass by this large pile of junk just lying there on the side of the road away from houses.

I have come home from school and there are pieces of trash thrown in my front yard where my family wouldn’t usually see it.

Sometimes it’s just tossed right in the front of my driveway, things such as a full fast food milkshake cup.

I have gone down alleyways before with friends and have seen tons of used condoms, needles and bags with unknown things in them. It can be dangerous to take children and pets down certain areas because you don’t know what they could pick up.

If we were to take care of this problem more efficiently, we might be able to make it safer for everyone else in the community.

Grandview pool to open in the new year ▶ DESPITE DELAYS, THE SOUTH SURREY AQUATIC CENTRE WILL COME IN ON BUDGET

NICK GREENIZAN

Surrey’s long-anticipated Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre is nearing completion and is expected to open to the public

Surrey Rockhound Club Presents

NATURAL TREASURES: SHOW AND SALE Oct. 17 & 18, 10am-5pm Sullivan Hall 6302 - 152 St. Surrey Rocks, Gems, Jewelry Display, Dealers, Demonstrations Activities for Kids Admission by Donation

in January.

The new facility, at 168 Street and 24 Avenue, is to feature a 50-metre competitive pool, a leisure pool, water slides, diving towers and also a weight room.

Though it won’t officially open until the new year, it is expected to be completed next month, and members of one local user group have said they’ve been invited to check out the facility early.

In August, the pools were filled in order to test the mechanical systems, and waterside

testing and other work took place earlier this month, according to the Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre Facebook page.

The Grandview project has been in the works for nearly three years; it was announced in 2012 alongside plans for a similar pool in Guildford, and was originally expected to be completed by the summer of 2014. The Guildford Aquatic Centre opened last March.

However, despite delays with the Grandview project, Surrey

city staff say it will come in on budget, and perhaps even under the $55-million price tag.

“We did our homework,” Jean Lamontagne, Surrey’s manager of planning and development said.

“Hopefully we’ll actually have some money left over… I don’t recall the last time I had a project that went over.

We’re very careful because at the end of the day that’s public money.”

On Sept. 14, staff received city council’s approval to spend an extra $95,000 on proj-

ect management, but Lamontagne said the funds were within the budget.

“We just finished the Guildford pool recently and that one is under warranty and we’re finalizing deficiencies.

We’re kind of busy with that one, so we decided to get a consultant to do that part of the work on this project,” he said.

The Grandview project has not been without detractors, dating back to 2012 when initial designs and plans were rolled out.

Back then, various user groups – including swim and diving clubs

– banded together in an effort to convince the city to build something larger, in order to hold provincial and national-level swim meets.

It would also allow multiple groups to use the pool at the same time.

The groups appeared as a delegation to city council in March 2012 and received what one member called “a frosty reception.”

Another member, Surrey’s Brittany Reimer – a Canadian Olympian – was also in attendance, saying “It’s too bad… a (bigger) facility is valuable for everyone.”

Genderinclusive washrooms at Kwantlen ▶ UNIVERSITY A ‘PROUDLY OPEN-ACCESS INSTITUTION,’ PRESIDENT SAYS BLACK PRESS

Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) students arrived for the fall semester to find new gender-inclusive washrooms on all four campuses.

Nine men’s and women’s washrooms in high-traffic areas at the university’s Cloverdale, Surrey, Langley and Richmond campuses were identified for conversion to gender-inclusive, wheelchair-accessible facilities. The conversion involved replacing signage, modifying sink and counter heights, and adding grab bars, shelves and hooks.

Seven washrooms are single-stall private facilities, while two have multiple stalls.

“KPU has a long history of being a proudly open-access institution, and this is an extension of that philosophy, that commitment and that pledge,” said Dr. Alan Davis, president and vice-chancellor of KPU. The need for gender-inclusive washrooms was identified by the president’s diversity and equity committee, which was formed in 2012 with support from the student group Pride Kwantlen and the recommendations of an internal strategic planning initiative.

“Everyone deserves a comfortable, accessible public washroom facility,” said Dr. Diane Naugler, director of the president’s diversity and equity committee at KPU and associate dean in the Faculty of Arts. “I’m proud of our committee and how the university is creating a gender-inclusive environment.”

Naugler added that the changes are an important step toward more comprehensive support of trans-gendered and gender-non-conforming students and staff in the KPU community.

The president’s diversity and equity committee will continue in its role to provide leadership in the advancement of inclusivity and diversity at KPU.

Ducks rescued from polluted Surrey pond

ELECT

â&#x2013;ś VOLUNTEERS CLEANING THE CONTAMINATED WATERFOWL TRACY HOLMES

for Delta

More than a dozen oily mallards are undergoing care in Burnaby after being rescued from a polluted South Surrey pond last week.

Janelle VanderBeek, care co-ordinator at the Wildlife Rescue Association (WRA), said 15 of the ducks are being treated and cleaned â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â including five confirmed males and five confirmed females, some with chemical burns â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and three more are the focus of an ongoing rescue effort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These animals wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

who had reported a sheen on the water that had been there for four or five days.

said.

Last Wednesday, two volunteers dispatched to the scene caught three affected ducks and it was estimated at that time that five more of the 18 known to call the area home were also affected.

But on a return visit Thursday, one staff member and three volunteers rounded up 12 more.

After stabilizing them, cleaning got underway last Friday.

With 10 to 12 people on the task, five ducks were cleaned by 3 p.m. and VanderBeek expected at least another three would be cleaned by dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end.

She said the contaminant has not been conclusively identified, but is believed to be oil-based paint.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also believed the substance was intentionally dumped in the pond.

VanderBeek said for the ducks, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like wearing a wet blanket.â&#x20AC;?

While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;looking goodâ&#x20AC;? for most of the rescued ducks, VanderBeek described the situation as â&#x20AC;&#x153;so sad and so unnecessary.â&#x20AC;?

And with no one liable â&#x20AC;&#x153;at this point in time,â&#x20AC;? full cost of the cleaning and treating â&#x20AC;&#x201C; estimated at $35 per duck, per day, and expected to reach between $7,000 and $10,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; falls to the association, which relies heavily on donations to operate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping the public will be able to support us,â&#x20AC;? she said, noting donations can be made online at www.wildliferescue.ca or by phone, at 604526-7275.

The ducks are to remain in care until they are fully recovered and the pond has been cleaned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fully cleaned and once they are fully waterproofed, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be letting them go in the same spot.â&#x20AC;?

Noting the facility routinely receives two or three animals a day from the Surrey area, VanderBeek said there is also a need for transport volunteers in this area who are available to help.

Delta oil pipeline terminal studied, rejected JEFF NAGEL

A suggestion from Alberta Premier Rachel Notley that the proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion be rerouted to a new terminal such as Tsawwassen is being dismissed

by Kinder Morgan Canada.

Notley recently told a conference in New York that the project might have a better chance of success if the company would “be creative” and develop a new tanker port rather than sticking with the Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby, where opposition has been intense.

The Alberta premier backs the $5.4-billion Trans Mountain project and has said she wants at least one

“drama-free” pipeline built to carry oil to new markets.

Kinder Morgan previously studied possible alternate locations for the terminal, including Roberts Bank in Delta, as well as sites in Washington State, but ruled them out because of significantly higher costs and environmental impacts, and regulatory issues in the case of a U.S. location.

Developing a Roberts Bank site north of Deltaport would add $1.2 billion to the cost of the current proposal, according to a Trans Mountain filing with the National Energy Board (NEB) in 2014.

It would require a seven-kilometre trestle extending into the Strait of Georgia to support pipelines and a roadway, and 100 acres of land for petroleum storage tanks.

Kinder Morgan assumed Westridge and the existing pipeline to

Burnaby would continue to operate in order to serve the Chevron refinery there, as well as a jet fuel pipeline to YVR airport.

The Tsawwassen area terminal would avoid crossing the Fraser River and traversing some densely populated areas, but the pipeline would be 14 kilometres longer.

Much bigger oil tankers holding nearly three times as much oil could come to the new terminal off the mouth of the Fraser River because they would not be limited by the depth of Burrard Inlet.

“The ability to service larger tankers is a key benefit of locating a tanker terminal at Roberts Bank,” said the filing.

It cautioned that while bigger tankers would mean fewer sailings and less probability of an oil spill, any that did occur might be larger.

who argues it’s unfair because people earning $30,000 a year pay the same amount as someone making millions.

The Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services was recently in Surrey, the latest of several stops around the province, to collect public input ahead of the 2016 budget.

The Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation (CTF) also called on the province to open ICBC up to more auto insurance competition, and reduce the $160-million-a-year dividend the government harvests from the public auto insurer.

The Surrey Board of Trade also appeared before the budget committee, urging investments on multiple fronts, including early childhood education, health care and social housing.

The business group also reinforced its preference for light rail rapid transit in Surrey over SkyTrain, and for “a comprehensive and fair road pricing policy for the Lower Mainland to allow for equitable funding of transportation infrastructure and transit service.”

The all-party committee has also heard from groups urging the province to resume regular increases to B.C.’s carbon tax.

The Canadian Diabetes Association has also pitched a new tax on soda and other sugary drinks on the grounds that they contribute to rising rates of obesity and diabetes.

The CTF said it would prefer government not raise any taxes and pay down debt instead.

Many requests for tax reform are recycled year after year.

The B.C. Real Estate Association again asked the province to lower the Property Transfer Tax (PTT) charged when homes change hands.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong signaled some interest in reforming the PTT in response to concerns about housing affordability.

He has said the province might create a third tier of the transfer tax that would charge more on the sale of a high-end home, while providing some relief for buyers of entry-level homes.

Mayors eye ALR land for industry JEFF NAGEL

“We would like to see more industrial land strategically positioned within Maple Ridge in areas where we just really don’t think there’s going to be a farm use.”

Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese said one of the innovative new industries that’s popped up in his area is a firm that feeds organic food waste to black soldier flies, and uses the protein-rich fly maggots to produce animal feed for farms.

In an interview after the meeting, Froese said he would also welcome some restructuring of the ALR to allow more logical development and make farming more feasible, with no net loss for agriculture.

“In Langley, we’ve

got some areas where it’s almost a patchwork quilt, we’ve got ALR intermingled with urban,” he said. “It would certainly be nice to do some tradeoffs – take some ALR land out and put some other land that’s not in the ALR back in.”

Transit upgrades urged Mayors from Maple Ridge to Chilliwack told the forum they want to see transit improved for their residents, and have service better integrated between the TransLink system in Metro Vancouver and cities further east in the Valley.

Hawes said he expects TransLink to soon increase the $750,000 his municipality pays each year for West Coast Express commuter train service, adding he would like to see other Fraser Valley cities contribute.

“West Coast Express is, in my belief, a regional transportation service, yet Mission pays 100 per cent of the cost outside the TransLink area.”

A provincial freeze on funding for B.C. Transit has also blocked any improvement in local bus service for Fraser Valley communities, Hawes said.

“The growth is moving east at a pretty rapid rate,” he said. “We need to build a transportation system that works.”

135 Street

Some mayors in the Fraser Valley are hoping to pull more farmland out of the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) to serve as industrial sites that can provide more local jobs.

Abbotsford Mayor Henry Braun, speaking to a business forum hosted by the Urban Development Institute, said his city expects a decision soon on the removal from the ALR of about 300 acres in west Abbotsford for a new business park adjacent to Langley’s Gloucester Industrial Estates.

“That will mean an additional 4,500 employment jobs,” Braun told the audience of realtors and developers Thursday in Langley.

He said Abbotsford has seen a surge in demand for industrial development – the city is now weighing applications to build 550,000 square feet of new industrial floor space.

Incoming businesses tend to be in manufacturing or warehousing, Braun said, and are typically relocating from higher cost locations in Metro Vancouver.

Mission Mayor Randy Hawes told the forum his municipality also sees potential to remove land from the ALR for industrial use, including an 80-acre property Scott Paper used to grow cottonwood trees but no longer needs.

“We believe that could come out of the ALR and we’re quite confident that it can.

That would provide a considerable number of jobs.”

Hawes said he also expects a buyer to emerge before long for the former Genstar

lands in southwest Mission, which could house up to 10,000 homes. It’s considered the largest piece of developable urban-designated land in the Lower Mainland but has been in limbo since Genstar Development Co. abandoned plans to develop in B.C. Maple Ridge Mayor Nicole Read said an application to pull land in Albion out of the ALR is also being reconsidered by the farmland commission.

She said Maple Ridge strongly supports local agriculture and is committed to regional food security goals.

“But we need to be realistic about what’s happening on our agricultural land and start a new conversation about some of the other potential things we could be doing with it,” Read said.

She cited city concerns with numerous fragmented parcels of farmland where people build homes and do nothing related to agriculture, as well as a large medical marijuana plant on agricultural land.

Businesses play a crucial role in crime prevention ▶ COMMUNICATION AND VIGILANCE ARE KEY, BOARD OF TRADE SAYS EVAN SEAL

The number-one way for businesses to combat crime in the city is to report it.

That’s according to Surrey Board of Trade (SBOT) Executive Director Anita Huberman, who says increased vigilance is the only way to improve safety in the city.

“Often business owners are afraid their insurance will increase,” said Huberman, “but communication is the key to keeping the community safe.”

Through a series of recent Crime Reduction Solution breakfast meetings, the SBOT has given businesses the tools to prevent crime before it happens and to help keep their employees and customers safe. The meeting were held throughout the city, giving business owners the opportunity to speak directly with the RCMP regarding their issues and concerns.

Huberman said several years ago, Port Kells was dealing with a relatively high crime rate, including theft, break and enter and copper wire theft.

As a result of the Crime Reduction Solution meetings, a specific on-the-ground policing model was set up in the Port Kells industrial area to deal with the specific issues.

A fraud awareness education series was also set up to provide tools on how to prevent identity fraud, identity theft, cyber crime, aggressive pan-handling and shoplifting, and for owners to educate their staff about the warning signs of these behaviours.

The SBOT has also been working with the Surrey RCMP to help business owners spot problem areas around their businesses.

“Every RCMP district station can do an assessment of your business and advise about lighting, cameras and various security measures,” said Huberman,. “The key is for businesses to work with their district police stations and always be vigilant.”

Anita Huberman With input from the SBOT and the RCMP, the city is also looking at establishing a “Bar None” program that has been used very successfully in the U.K. Bar None is an accreditation program for licensed establishments to help pinpoint problem areas and improve safety and business practices.

Three years ago the SBOT developed a partnership with Crime Stoppers that allowed community members and businesses to provide anonymous tips to police and to get specific data to build support infrastructure to battle crime.

“We all need to work together,” said Huberman.

IN FOCUS: SAFE SURREY ▶ CRIME IS TOP OF MIND FOR MANY IN THE CITY – BUT IT’S NOT ALL BAD NEWS. THIS COMMUNITY HAS A HOST OF PEOPLE, PROFESSIONALS, PROGRAMS AND POLICIES THAT ARE WORKING TO MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON PUBLIC SAFETY

SFU students (from left) Joy Marlinga, Rizwan Qaiser, Scott Hirsch and Neha Noor spoke to other students about campus safety. Many were concerned about walking from the Surrey campus to the nearby SkyTrain station or bus loop at night. EVAN SEAL

Making campus a safer place SHEILA REYNOLDS

Each time she stayed late at school to study, she’d plan ahead.

Not because she had to be home at a certain time or arrange a ride with a classmate. But because she was concerned about her safety when she left.

Joy Marlinga, a fourth-year business major at SFU, says when she used to study at the

Burnaby campus until 1 or 2 a.m., she’d either park her car on the top floor of the parkade – a better lit and more visible area – or find a spot close to the door so she wouldn’t have to walk far by herself at night.

She knew there were security guards that would be happy to accompany her, but like many students, often wouldn’t bother.

While Marlinga’s fears have never come to fruition, they are not unfounded.

Statistics show that nearly one in five women will be assaulted during their undergraduate years, and of those, 80 per cent don’t feel safe reporting their experience.

The figures are ones the Surrey Women’s Centre (SWC) knows well.

So when Marlinga and three SFU classmates – Neha Noor, Scott Hirsch and Rizwan Qaiser – were tasked last spring with coming up with a business project with a non-profit organization, the idea of working with the SWC developed organically.

What followed were a series of “coffee houses” at the Surrey and Burnaby SFU campuses with a dual purpose: raise awareness of the prevalence of sexual assault and collect emails from participants interested supporting SWC and/or in participating in a survey about campus safety.

“We realized that university campuses are a target for those who are assaulted because there’s minimal light late at night and a lot of unsupervised areas and so we wanted to bring that forth with the survey,” Marlinga said.

The survey includes general queries addressing student perception of their safety on campus, as well as more specific questions about the accessibility of transit and lighting.

Sarah Watts, community giving liaison with SWC, said while men are sometimes victimized, women are more often the targets.

“If we look at the rates of sexual violence, it’s definitely more of a female issue.”

That said, the students and SWC are cogni-

zant of the positive role men can play.

“Whether it’s a male who could be sexually assaulted in the future, or they have a female friend confiding in them about an abusive relationship … at least that person has the resource for their friend, for their cousin, for their sister,” said Marlinga.

The survey (at http://bit.ly/1WJI9e1) will be up until at least late October.

“We’ll be in touch with the school administration and the SFU Women’s Centre, so we’ll forward the results to them,” said Watts, adding there may also be workshops created for SFU staff on how to recognize abuse.

And, she noted, though the study only involves SFU at this point, it’s “definitely something that could be transferred to other universities.”

For every person who completes the campus safety survey, $1 will be contributed by an anonymous donor to the SWC’s 24-hour crisis line (604-583-1295).

Other crimes also increased significantly.

Sex assaults were up 65 per cent, abduction and kidnapping were up 55 per cent, and robbery increased by 33 per cent.

No community in Surrey was spared the increase in violent crime.

As of September of this year, Hepner said Surrey had received about half of the police the city ordered.

Going forward, law enforcement officials are planning to use the extra resources to get ahead of the crime and stop it before it occurs.

Surrey is also in the process of hiring a general manager of public safety.

His or her job would be to implement plans already in place and to lobby senior levels of government for further resources.

That would likely include asking for some assistance dealing with people suffering from mental illness, which represents a good portion of police work.

As the promised new Mounties arrive and prevention plans are implemented, the city is hoping it can turn the tide of crime in the city.

The citizens profiled in these pages are certainly contributing in that regard.

Creating public areas that are inherently safe – by design ▶ CITY PLANNING AND DESIGN AIMS TO MAKE RESIDENTS THE WATCHERS LAUREN COLLINS

Sometimes it can be difficult to determine the difference between good city planning and features that make a city safe, according to Mary Beth Rondeau.

Rondeau is the senior urban designer with the City of Surrey.

“If you have a city where people are out on the streets and they’re walking their dogs and talking to their neighbours in the parks, they’re using their city. Then that tends to be a safer city.”

The city also implements the principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), which is a study of how to design the environment to be safer, according to Rondeau.

CPTED defines itself as a “multi-disciplinary approach to deterring criminal behaviour through environmental design.”

Goldstone Park, at 5850 146 St., has been designed with public safety in mind. EVAN SEAL Rondeau said the principles of CPTED are embedded in city council’s community plan. She added it comes down to simple,

intuitive ideas and principles.

One of these ideas was natural or passive surveillance.

“If you design someone’s house

or an apartment to overlook public areas, those people become the watchers and guardians and people that care for that area.

They will extend their concern for the area into the public realm.”

An example of these principles in action would be park design.

Owen Croy, the manager of parks for the City of Surrey, said the city creates parks to be open and welcoming.

Older park footprints were more closed-in with less frontage to the streets.

One way of becoming more inclusive is to have two sides of the park open onto the street, according to Croy.

The other one or two sides of the park could open to homes – allowing for surveillance by the homeowners, according to Ted Uhrich, the manager of the parks planning, research and designs for the City of Surrey.

“Usually there’s a lot of activity around front doors. There’s people who are coming and going from their house.”

Because of a bylaw, parks are

closed from dusk till dawn, unless they are specifically lighted for sports.

Croy added it would be difficult to light all 6,600 acres of parkland.

Uhrich said they try to make sure the parks are busy “at all times or as much as possible” during the day, with a range of activities.

“Typically, we see parks busy on evenings and weekends, but if we can create some daytime use on weekdays, that helps make that park that much more active and safer.”

Uhrich said the city has an active program, Partners in Parks, which is a way for residents to enjoy Surrey’s many parks while also keeping them safe and clean.

The program’s volunteers can meet with residents around parks to let them know the process of reporting problems.

“They can inform the RCMP if there are more serious problems and get more patrols at a certain amount of time.”

Volunteers the backbone of community safety ▶ ‘WHEN YOU’RE ENGAGED IN SOMETHING, YOU DON’T GO ONTO OTHER (NEGATIVE) THINGS,’ SAYS MEMBER OF THE SURREY CRIME PREVENTION SOCIETY LAUREN COLLINS

The Surrey Crime Prevention Society (SCPS) is a volunteer organization made up of a number of different community-safety focused programs.

Informally started in 1981, the SCPS was incorporated as a registered non-profit society in 1984.

The society is governed by an elected board of directors.

Funding for the society comes from government grants and corporate partnerships, as well as business and individual tax-deductible donations.

Karen Reid Sidhu took over as executive director for the SCPS three years ago.

In her role, she re-branded the society to fit with their community safety-focused programs rather than crime prevention.

Reid Sidhu said the society works with the fire department, bylaw officers, business improvement associations, the Surrey School District, transit police, the Surrey RCMP and other non-profit organizations.

Some of the society’s programs include the Citizens Community Safety Watch program, Community Safety Tours, and the Community Safety Youth Leadership and Mentorship program.

The Community Safety Youth Leadership and Mentorship program is a remarkable initiative, according to Reid Sidhu.

A group of volunteers with the Surrey Crime Prevention Society wearing their distinctive green jackets. To get involved, call 604-502-8555. SUBMITTED “We give at-risk youth an opportunity to put our jackets on and participate in our programs and nobody knows that they are youth at-risk. They get to interact in a positive way and give back, and learn the importance of being around people who make positive choices.”

SCPS currently has 295 volunteers with 65 more applications waiting to be reviewed, according to Reid Sidhu.

She said about 80 per cent of the volunteers come

from all walks of life and ethnicities.

“The fact that we have been able to reach so many individuals from so many diverse, multicultural backgrounds in pretty significant and it reflects the community that we live in.”

Sunny Gill, 21, has been a volunteer with the society since June 2012.

Gill originally checked out SCPS because of his interest in policing and he thought it would be a “good resume builder,” but he realized volunteering could also be a great experience.

“What I do can actually change peoples’ lives, even if it’s just calling something in and helping someone out when others would not do the same.”

Manpreet Athwal, 22, said the SCPS helps out the RCMP. “The RCMP can’t really do (everything) by themselves if people don’t report, “ Athwal said. “People in our society don’t report crime that we see. Either we don’t have time or we just choose not to.”

Athwal, who has been volunteering with the SCPS since October 2014, thinks more students should look into volunteering.

“When you’re engaged in something, you don’t go onto other (negative) things,” she said. “You’re focused and you’re busy all the time and you have to make the right choices.”

Gill also encourages people to volunteer.

“With all the recent concerns for crime and stuff, I would encourage youth, and not just youth but everybody, just to get out and actually be in the community and see what’s going on and see how they can help,” he said. “Rather than just hearing about it on the news... and not acting on it.”

He was a normal guy with a job, hobbies and a family. After the accident, everything took a turn for the worse. ICBC blamed him for the accident. When he hired a lawyer to assist him, ICBC dismissed it as a nuisance claim and offered him $1.00 to settle his case. A copy of the letter that ICBC sent his lawyer is still held by the client.

The client was represented at trial by Lee Cowley and Don Kennedy of the law firm of Cowley & Company.

Blocking crime – one block at a time ▶ FED UP WITH DRUG DEALERS, A SURREY WOMAN LEARNS ‘THE POWER OF THE STICKER’ BOAZ JOSEPH

To a visitor ringing the doorbell, the words “My neighbour is watching you” on Michelle’s door are hard to ignore.

The Newton resident and Block Watch captain calls it “the power of the sticker” – a sign that this cul-de-sac is taking crime seriously.

And it’s working, says Michelle, who asked that her last name not be used.

Before this year, she and her neighbours witnessed recurring drive-by drug dealing on their street.

Some dealers were even bold enough to smile and wave to residents while making their transactions.

Michelle said she’d seen one type of crime or another in her neighbourhood for 25 years, but the final straw was seeing a drug transaction in broad daylight near six young children playing in a yard.

“I believe that (the dealers) were armed,” she said.

In January 2015, she inquired about Block Watch, underwent a security check, and enrolled with the program, which is run by the Surrey RCMP. In her initial training session, she met 31 other prospective Block Watch captains from throughout the city, and learned about the types of crimes that take place in different neighbourhoods.

She learned about what to look for, how to make changes to home and personal safety and how the program could increase communication between residents and the police.

As the Block Watch captain, Michelle gets feedback from the RCMP about recent events and safety updates, and shares reports with local residents over email.

Keeping a neighbourhood safe is a group effort.

Before Block Watch, she said, “you’d wave to the neighbour, but you didn’t know who they were. We know each other’s names now, and people are watching out for each other.”

Residents of Block Watch zones don’t do patrols or actively seek trouble.

“You don’t go looking for it. But some days you just stumble upon something… suspicious.”

Going about their daily business, residents pay attention to thing that don’t feel right – suspicious cars, open windows or garage doors, alarms and people who don’t look like they belong.

On her block, residents of 18 houses know of each others’ work schedules so they have a better idea of when someone might not be home.

So far this year, residents on Michelle’s block have made 36 calls to the RCMP. Each time they called the police, they also let Michelle know, and she relayed the information to the rest of the street.

She believes a major reduction in crime in her area has taken place because of more police patrols in both marked and unmarked cars – called by residents on her own block as well as nearby Block Watch streets.

“We would much rather you report the person that looks suspicious at the time it’s noticed than have you think about it the next

day after your vehicle has been broken into,” said Blair Berkner, the Crime Prevention Programs coordinator for District 3 (Newton). “Those calls are so important in helping to break the chain of events that could occur.

Getting people trained to spot suspicious activity, picking up the phone to call in and make a report is exactly what can help prevent any criminal activity from occurring.”

Berkner says that Block Watch, which started in Surrey in 1986, covers about 10,000 residences in the city, including single-family homes, strata apartments, townhouse complexes, highrises and mobile homes.

He said the Block Watch program, through prevention and discouragement, can reduce overall crime by half on any street that gets involved.

Michelle added she believes that every call made to the police about suspicious activity helps the them put another piece in an overall crime puzzle, even if the caller doesn’t see it from their end.

To further the cause of lowering crime in the city, Block Watch captains also get from the RCMP a weekly list of cars that have been stolen (or recovered) in Surrey. They get plates, makes, models, years and colours, as well as the general areas in which the cars were stolen.

Michelle said she sees about 20 cars on the list each week – “lots of Hondas.” She then emails the information to her block.

Although no stolen cars have been spotted on her street so far, Michelle said the Stolen Auto Recovery Initiative (SARI) has been effective in other parts of Surrey.

SARI was developed early this year in Cloverdale and then adopted by the RCMP’s other districts.

“We depend on the residents and businesses of Surrey to observe and report any suspicious activity in order to reduce crime and increase community safety,” said Surrey RCMP Community Services Officer Insp. Ghalib Bhayani. “Our Block Watches are well-positioned to assist us in the identification of stolen vehicles as they are already on the lookout for suspicious activities in their neighbourhoods.”

As for drug dealing on her street, Michelle says it has essentially stopped.

“This program has worked.”

SAFE SURREY Police taking proactive steps ▶ SURREY RCMP TARGETS PROLIFIC OFFENDERS, EDUCATES THE PUBLIC LAUREN COLLINS

With violent crime in the city on the rise, the Surrey RCMP’s many ongoing practices are being used to help reduce incidents in the city.

“We have many initiatives in the city that are proactive in the sense that we’re using them to reduce crime, and that can be anything from targeted enforcement to educational campaigns or just engaging the public and trying to mobilize them to make these calls,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann.

Schumann said the Surrey detachment has a “finite number of resources” and tries to use them as efficiently as possible.

“We find the best way to reduce crime is to target the prolific offenders. It’s a small group of people that are committing the majority of the crimes in the city.”

To target the prolific offenders, Surrey RCMP use crime analysts to identify the prolific offenders and then use their targeted enforcement teams to focus on the offenders.

With numerous shootings in recent months, Schumann said the public is calling in to report suspicious activity more often.

“We had an active education campaign called ‘Observe It. Report It’ where we were encouraging the public if they saw suspicious activities, to call it in,” Schumann said.

“By making those reports to intelligence-led policing, it allowed crime analysts to see where crime is trending and where problem

areas are developing. Even though a police officer may not attend to your original complaint, the information is still retained on our database system and we are able to direct our enforcement activities.”

Some other initiatives include the Neighbourhood Safety campaign and the High-Risk Location program.

The Neighbourhood Safety campaign gives residents the information they need to mobilize their community and enhance the livability of their neighbourhood. Since the beginning of 2015, Surrey RCMP have held numerous Neighbourhood Safety campaigns throughout communities in the city.

The High-Risk Location project targets the RCMP’s enforcement activities in certain areas to reduce crime.

“Through our crime analysts and partners in the city, we determine what are high-risk locations for offences. So for example, a crack shack or a flop house or a house that just seems to be a hub for criminals that are creating a lot of havoc in the neighbourhood,” Schumann said.

Another program is Car 67, where a police officer and a psychiatric nurse work together to respond to calls when mental illness is involved. It’s a partnership with the Surrey RCMP and the Fraser Health Authority.

“Somebody with a mental health issue may come to the attention of the police, but not because they’re committing crimes. They could be acting out or reported as missing,” Schumann said. “We work with external partners, like psychiatric nurses, and we get those people some assistance so they can deal with their mental health issues.”

Program certifies rentals ▶ CRIME FREE MULTI-HOUSING DESIGNED TO KEEP ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES OFF PROPERTIES LAUREN COLLINS

OVER $2,000,000 IN VEHICLE INVENTORY TO CHOOSE FROM!

Premier Realty

Crime Free Multi-Housing (CFMH), a program offered though the Surrey RCMP, is a way for rental building managers to take positive steps to effectively manage their complexes, improve the health of the community and create an environment where crime cannot flourish, according to Tanya Wong, coordinator from the Surrey RCMP. Wong said the city has 81 certified rental properties, which is more than 6,900 units.

“We probably only have 10 or 12 properties that are not certified in Surrey, so most have joined our program.”

Wong added that the majority of building managers find out about the program by word of mouth.

“Most importantly, it’s the results that the building managers have seen. So then they tell other building managers in their area and it snowballs from there.”

There is a one-day training session for managers which is offered about three times a year, said Ulrkye Weissgerber, the tenant programs and services supervisor with the Metro Vancouver Housing Corporation.

“There’s certain minimum and standard requirements that landlords need to meet.

They’re quite reasonable,” Weissgerber said.

Some of the requirements are secondary locks on windows and patios and landscaping. Trees cannot be taller than six feet.

At the end of the training, a “safety social” is held by the building managers as a way to get to know their tenants and neighbours.

“If you don’t know who your neighbours are, then you don’t know who the strangers are,” Weissgerber said.

During the meeting, managers and residents can address safety and security issues and share improvement ideas.

The meetings are held regularly to allow managers an opportunity best practices in crime prevention.

Building managers are taught the benefits of applicant screening, tips to strengthen rental agreements, the warning signs of drug activity, what to do if there is illegal activities and crisis solution and the eviction process.

On top of all that, building managers learn about an incident checklist, which includes recording date, time and location, suspect vehicle identification and suspect description.

When building managers complete the CFMH program, the rental property can display the CFMH sign and use its logo in its rental advertising.

Weissgerber said criminals are generally lazy.

“If they look at a property that’s got the crime-free signage that looks like it’s wellkept, they’re going to have an idea that ‘okay, this is an educated population and if I really want to get away with something, maybe I can go down the street and find a place that isn’t well-kept and is an easier mark’.”

There are reviews and annual re-certification to ensure that the certified rental property continues to meet the program’s requirements.

Help for at-risk youth ▶ SURREY SCHOOL DISTRICT SEEN AS A LEADER IN STUDENT SAFETY IN B.C.

LAUREN COLLINS

Safe Schools is a program within the Surrey School District that encompasses a number of different programs for students and teachers.

Created in December 1998, the Safe Schools department has been a leading program nationally and internationally, according to Rob Rai, the manager of Surrey’s Safe Schools.

Rai said the department offers a tiered response for “universal safety and collective comfort.”

He added that Safe Schools offers “rudimentary pieces,” such as how to be a responsible citizen, the pitfalls of drugs and alcohol, what bullying is, how to make friends and how to maintain relationships.

“Then, as students become a little bit more identified or their behaviours begin to peak, we offer a greater level on intervention and parental support for kids that we can see are heading towards inappropriate behaviour.”

These are the more intensive programs.

BUILDING A BETTER SURREY Our community is beautiful and diverse, and the challenges we face in building a safer Surrey – reducing crime and violence, growing the economy and establishing fairness for families – deserve a plan and a government committed to real change.

Fleetwood—Port Kells is my home, so I share the concerns of its residents when it comes to building a safer, more sustainable Surrey.

That is why I believe strongly that our community needs a government that is smart on crime and that will support those people in our community who are building intervention programs; who are fostering rehabilitation and who are working to stop crime before it happens, instead of focusing solely on after-the-gavel punishments. This includes giving more and better resources to our front-line police officers who are leading many of these initiatives.

Surrey is the one of the fastest growing communities in Canada, and we have not received our fair share of federal investment in the infrastructure we need. Until we elect a government that is willing to sit down with the provinces and municipalities, we will not have our needs met.

Now is the time for leadership, now is the time for investment.

A better, safer Surrey is possible: we’re building it everyday. A Liberal government led by Justin Trudeau will be a partner in these efforts. On October 19, I’m asking for your vote to help build a better Fleetwood— Port Kells in a better Canada.

On October 19, I'm asking for your vote to help build a better Fleetwood-Port Kells in a better Canada.

SAFE SURREY ▶ WRAP: MORE THAN 500 YOUTH HELPED from page 10

A partnership between the district and the City of Surrey, The Surrey Wraparound program (Wrap) is at the top of the “intervention pyramid,” according to Rai. “The purpose is to support, redirect and stabilize (young) men and women who are currently involved in criminal behaviours,” Rai said.

Wrap was developed in 2008 and has seen more than 500 student referrals since the first one on Jan. 15, 2009.

Another part of Wrap is Lion Pride.

“In partnership with the Wrap program, we actually put a flag football team together with some of these kids that may not have had all the positive experiences in life,” said Rai. Rai added that it’s two or three months of teamwork, learning and leadership.

“For every moment that a young person is with positive role model, it’s one less moment that they’re on the street making poor choices,” Rai said.

Jamie Taras, the director of community relations for the B.C. Lions, said the Lions enjoy getting to work with at-risk youth.

“We’ve seen kids that have gone through our little flag tournament, they go on to play university football or some of them have decided to coach football when they graduated high school.”

Lions also come in to schools and talk about life choices, potential and how to

be a good citizen.

Safe Schools has liaisons for safe schools, substance abuse, youth diversity and a representative from the Surrey RCMP. The department implemented a School Safety Alert System, Violence Treat Risk Assessment Protocol and Safe and Caring Schools Policy and Regulations.

NEW HOME WARRANTIES

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Comprehensive coverage helps keep your home protected

By Nicolle Hodges

Moving can be stressful, especially if it’s into a new house. One thing that can make it easier is to understand your rights when it comes to home warranties and making sure your builder is covered.

It boils down to a cost effective home warranty program, which include multiple assessments during construction to reduce or eliminate claims repair costs.

According to Progressive and Pacific Home Warranty, a home warranty is designed to cover hidden defects: things that, with reasonable and careful inspection on the completion date, would not yet have been revealed; or defects that occurred after the residential unit was complete.

As a minimum, homes built by Licensed Residential Builders must have 2-5-10 year home warranty insurance.

Mandatory warranty insurance includes the following: - 12 months’ coverage for defects in material and labour for your unit - 24 months’ coverage for defects in material and labour for major systems (heating, electrical, plumbing, etc.)

- 5 years’ coverage on the building envelope, including coverage on unintended water penetration - 10 years’ coverage on major structural items It’s important to stay in the loop and know exactly when your coverage starts. Progressive states that your warranty start date is the earliest of the following: date of actual occupancy, the date any occupancy

certificate was granted, or the date your new home is completed and ready for occupancy.

It’s also important to keep in mind that there are items excluded from warranty coverage.

Some examples include contractual items of your Purchase Agreement; materials or items supplied by the purchaser instead of the homebuilder; incomplete work; and other exclusions.

Not necessarily everything submitted on a deficiency list will be covered by warranty either, such as additional contractual items outlined in the Purchaser’s Agreement.

Once a claim for deficiencies to your home is submitted, the home-

builder has the right to complete any repairs first.

A home warranty agency like Progressive & Pacific Home Warranty will help ensure proper repairs are completed in a timely manner.

Governments now set the standards of coverage, commencement dates, exclusions and limits on coverage to ensure clarity and a consistent consumer protection.

To learn more about consumer protection legislation and regulations, visit www.hpo.bc.ca. And visit www.progwar.com for more on the home warranties offered through Progressive & Pacific Home.

Encyclopedia House now an open book ▶ STRUCTURE MADE OF BOOKS – MEANT AS A COMMENTARY ON HOMELESSNESS – WILL REMAIN IN NEWTON FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER ALEX BROWNE

Surrounded by a small, appreciative crowd, Li-Leger cut the yellow tape across the doorway to the

The Encyclopedia House, created by South Surrey artist Don Li-Leger, is an art installation at Newton’s The Grove, commenting on homelessness by using old encyclopedias and other outmoded texts as building materials.

one-room structure – created out of discarded encyclopedias and other texts – as his wife, Cora Li-Leger, offered the toast, “let the knowledge flow.”

The temporary structure is to remain at the site for the rest of the month.

Li-Leger, who cre-

EVAN SEAL

ated the installation as a commentary on homelessness – while society finds difficulty recycling obsolete books – said he could not claim originality for his project.

He told his audience he was inspired by the work of a Japanese architect in creating a “zero-yen house” to

promote a Buddhist lifestyle of “living very simply.”

Cora Li-Leger said a “perfect storm” of factors – including co-operation from city officials (after initial red tape) and support from Sources Community Resource Society and the Friends of the Grove organization –

combined to make her husband’s long-cherished project a reality.

Coun. Vera LeFranc and Surrey-Newton MLA Harry Bains both noted how combined artistic expression and community intervention bring greater awareness to homelessness, while Sources executive director David Young noted the 10th annual Homelessness Awareness March takes place Oct. 16 at Newton Resources Centre at 10:30 a.m.

Li-Leger said the appropriateness of the site had become increasingly apparent as the house was put together in recent weeks.

“People in the neighbourhood are dealing with issues we don’t see in South Surrey – a lot of people who came by got engaged with the intent of the project,” he said.

Surrey creative writers in SFU anthology ▶ WORK OF 36 WRITER’S STUDIO STUDENTS IN EMERGE 15 BLACK PRESS

A pair of Surrey authors is featured in SFU’s annual anthology of the university’s creative writing program, The Writer’s Studio.

Christina Myers and Veeno Dewan are among 36 writers in emerge 15, a book that includes poetry, fiction and non-fiction works from students in the one-year, part-time creative writing program.

Veeno, an award-winning filmmaker, moved to Surrey from the United Kingdom 10 years ago. In emerge 15, he offers up an excerpt from a book of short stories set in Vancou-

ver, India, the UK and Fiji.

“Writing is hard,” says Dewan. “Life is easy.”

Myers, a North Surrey resident, says “starting to write is like putting on your mountain climbing boots and deciding to go tackle the peak.”

She worked as a reporter for more than a decade, covering everything from education to politics, health and features.

“I’ve interviewed everyone from federal politicians to rock and roll stars.”

Her piece in emerge 15 is an excerpt from a non-fiction piece exploring her family’s history, her father’s fascination with their family tree and some little-known facts about B.C.’s coastal history.

The official launch of emerge 15 took place Thursday in Vancouver.

Celebrating 44Years in Surrey

BLACK PRESS

Women’s Institute, Clark (Halia Hirniak) and her best friend Chris (Margaret Shearman) set out to make a fundraising calendar that becomes an immediate sensation.

Directed by Simon Challenger, the SLT production stars a large ensemble cast, including Surrey’s Laurie Kortschak and Melanie Minty..

“Calendar Girls is a wonderful play about relationships,” says Challenger. “It’s a story

of middle-aged women who pose nude for a calendar to raise money for a worthy cause, earning them fame – and fraying friendships.

The story is set in Knapeley, Yorkshire, where Annie Clark has just lost her husband to cancer. Inspired by his speech to the local

A British box office phenomenon that charmed audiences around the world comes to the Surrey Little Theatre (SLT) stage next week.

about friendship, love, tragedy and the ability of the human spirit to transcend adversity.”

The show is about much more than the calendar and the photographs, revealing how events can shape their lives in ways they never thought possible, Challenger says.

▶ LOCAL U16 SOCCER TEAM WINS CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIP IN SOUTH SURREY

National title for Surrey United NICK GREENIZAN

Cloverdale-based Surrey United gave their hometown fans plenty to cheer about Monday, after capturing a national U16 boys soccer championship at South Surrey Athletic Park.

Battling rainy conditions, the team – one of 10 taking part in the Canadian soccer championship, which began last week – won gold with a 3-0 victory over Ontario’s Woodbridge Strikers.

“We’ve waited almost two years for this. We’ve been building and building and it’s absolutely massive for these kids who have been dreaming about this for a long time,” said Surrey United head coach Rob Wilson.

Meanwhile, on the girls side of the U16 bracket, Coastal FC – the B.C. champions and also official host

team of the tournament – placed fourth, losing in semifinals 2-0 to Quebec’s Lakeshore SC. In the third-place game, Coastal lost to Alberta representatives, Calgary SWU Napoli ’99.

Surrey United’s charge at the title was led by Noah Dasilva, who led the tournament in scoring with six goals, including two in Monday’s final against Woodbridge.

“Dasilva has been an absolute handful for any fullback and again he showed today that he is one of the best dribblers in the nation right now… an outstanding performance,” Wilson said.

Perhaps owing to the rain and lessthan-ideal playing conditions, the game started slowly for both sides continued on page 37

Monday, with the ball stuck in the middle of the field for long stretches as neither team could keep possession and mount any kind of attack.

Surrey defender Darashpreet Sandhu opened the scoring for the home side, when he was the first to get a foot on a loose ball, which was bouncing around the Woodbridge box.

Less than one minute later, Dasilva doubled the lead when he dribbled the ball through several Ontario defenders before firing the ball past the goalkeeper, in the bottom left corner of the net.

In the second half, Surrey protected the two-goal lead, and Dasilva made it 3-0 in the 65th minute.

Woodbridge was not without chances, however, and came close to getting on the board in the second half when a free kick from 25 yards out struck the Surrey crossbar and stayed out of the net.

Earlier in the tournament, Surrey cruised through the round robin with a perfect 4-0 record, and in semifinals, defeated Calgary Foothills 1-0 to advance to the championship match.

Hawks sweep Canadians, remain unbeaten â&#x2013;ś MAJOR MIDGET TEAM CHASING FIRST PLACE AFTER NEARPERFECT START TO THE SEASON RICK KUPCHUK

After four weeks of play, the Valley West Hawks are the only undefeated team in the BC Hockey Major Midget League.

The Hawks swept the Vancouver Canadians last weekend by scores of 4-1 and 3-2, and with a 5-0-1

(win-loss-tie) record, are second only to the 6-2-0 Vancouver Giants in the standings.

The Hawks, coming off a bye week Oct. 3-4, make up their two games in hand on the Giants next weekend in Nelson against the 1-4-1 Kootenay Ice, and could take over first place next week.

Valley West head coach Jessie Leung said his team was rusty for the first period of last Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at the Langley Events Centre.

The Canadians

scored the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first goal after seven minutes of play, but Ben Evanish of the Hawks tied the score before the first intermission with his league-leading eighth goal of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We looked to be a step behind and were over complicating the game,â&#x20AC;? said Leung. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve preached â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;elite execution of simple playsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; all season and I thought we got away from that to start.

All told, we played our worst period of hockey all season and still entered the break

Armahn Sidhu netted the first goal, and Josh Bruce notched the second. Luka Burzan added the fourth Hawks goal into an empty net, his third point of the game.

The Hawks scored once in each period of Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rematch in Coquitlam. Evanish scored his ninth goal of the season 11 minutes into the game, but the Canadians tied the score 1-1 in the last minute of the first period.

Christian Bosa put the Hawks up 2-0 after two periods, and after the Canadians tied the score with nine minutes remaining, Colten Gerlib scored the winner for Valley West with two minutes to go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did everything right on Sunday, but just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat the goalie,â&#x20AC;? said Leung. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we could have done a better job getting to rebounds but I give credit where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s due and the Canadians goalie (Lukas) Shaw was good.â&#x20AC;?

BLUE LINES: After their weekend in Nelson, the Hawks will face-off against the Giants in what will likely be a showdown between the top two teams in the MML. Ben Evanish of the Hawks, from White Rock, is tied for fourth in the MML scoring race with 12 points, including a league-high nine goals.

Valley Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Luka Burzan, the Surrey resident claimed sixth overall in last springâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Western Hockey League Bantam Draft by the Moose Jaw Warriors, is also tied for fourth with 12 points. He is tied for the league lead in assists with 11.

▶ JUNIOR A TEAM WINS IN VICTORIA, LOSES IN COWICHAN VALLEY

NICK GREENIZAN

It took a little extra time, but the Surrey Eagles managed to add another win to their total last weekend on Vancouver Island.

On Saturday in Victoria, the Eagles edged the hometown Grizzlies 2-1 in overtime, giving the team two out of a possible six points on the weekend.

A day earlier, at South Surrey Arena, Surrey lost 6-1 to the Chilliwack Chiefs, and on Sunday afternoon – less than 24 hours after their OT win – the Eagles dropped an 8-4 decision to the Cowichan Valley Capitals in front of more than 600 fans at Cowichan’s Island Savings Centre.

Surrey now sits last in the BC Hockey League’s six-team Mainland Division with a three wins and eight losses in 11 games. They are, however, just eight points back of the first-place Langley Rivermen.

Against the Grizzlies – who sit in the BCHL cellar with just one win thus far this season – Surrey notched the win when Darius Davidson scored the winner at the 1:05 mark of the second overtime frame.

Neither team scored in the first period, and John Wesley, with a power-play tally, gave the visiting Birds a 1-0 lead in the second. The one-goal lead held until Victoria got a power-play of their own early in the third, and P.J. Conlon beat Daniel Davidson to tie the game.

Power-play goal aside, Davidson was otherwise perfect, stopping 37 of 38 Victoria shots. Surrey managed just 28 shots on goal themselves.

The tightly contested, low-scoring affair was a far cry from the team’s other two games over the Thanksgiving long weekend. On Friday at home, the Eagles fell behind 2-0 to the Chiefs after 20 minutes, and were down 3-0 after two periods of play.

In the third, Surrey’s only goal came from Wesley, while Chilliwack tacked on three more, including one on the power play.

The Eagles finally got their offence in gear Sunday, peppering Cowichan netminder Storm Phaneuf with 41 shots, though the Peninsula squad gave up eight goals on 35 shots-on-goal them-
