Yes campaign takes pitch

to CloverdaleBy Jennifer LangA defi nitive yes vote in the Metro

Vancouver transit referendum is criti-cal to Surrey, where up to 350,000 new residents are expected in the next 30 years, Cloverdale business leaders were told at a forum last week at Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino.

If the city hasn’t received its fair share of transit and transportation funding in the past, the proposed congestion tax is a chance to change that.

“Th ere’s huge benefi ts for Surrey in this,” said Elizabeth Model, CEO of the Surrey Downtown BIA, which has joined the Yes coalition.

Th e March 19 forum highlighted the benefi ts of the Metro Mayors’ Council Transportation and Transit Plan, and coincided with the launch of the mail-in referendum.

Metro Vancouver voters are being asked to support a new, 0.5 per cent Congestion Improvement Tax that would be dedicated to the Mayors’ Council transportation and transit

plan. Th e additional sales tax will fund billions of dollars worth of upgrades.

“We get approximately 45 per cent of the $7.5 billion plan,” she said. “Th ere’s a huge impact on our economy.”

Surrey would benefi t from about $3.5 billion in new infrastructure and tran-sit upgrades, from more buses and B-lines, road upgrades and an LRT – the “big ticket item” for Surrey, the city’s transportation planning manager, Phil-ip Bellefontaine, said.

“Th ere is a criticism that areas such as Burnaby and Vancouver get all the improvements,” Bellefontaine said.

Bus service in Surrey, for instance, which is measured in terms of service hours, is roughly half of the regional average.

Th e referendum is an opportunity to “close that inequity gap,” he said.

An estimated 1 million people will be moving into the region over the next 30 years.

Police hunt for fl asher in Clayton HeightsBy Kevin DiakiwA man who exposed himself to

students in the Clayton area of Sur-rey earlier this month is now the subject of a police search.

It’s also possible the man later exposed himself to a woman in the same area weeks later.

On March 2, at about 1 p.m., police responded to a call of a man committing an indecent act behind

Clayton Heights Secondary School.He’s described as a Caucasian

male in his 20s, with a medium build, tattoos on his arms, wearing a grey hoodie and dark jeans. He was riding a BMX bike.

Th en on March 5, at about 8:30 a.m., Surrey Mounties responded

to a complaint of a man fl ashing his privates to two students in a lane-way north of 70 Avenue between 190 and 188A Streets.

He is described as a Caucasian male, 30 to 40 years old, about 5’10”, with greying hair and wear-ing dark clothes.

Th en on March 16, at about 12:30 p.m., Surrey RCMP respond-ed to a report of a man committing an indecent act on a trail near 70 Avenue and 188 Street as a woman walked her dog in the area.

He didn’t say anything, or ap-proach her, but she felt it was obvi-

ous he wanted her to see him.He left the area on his bike riding

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOMore than just a trim: Katie Stubbings smiles as stylist Karen Pehlke shows her how much hair she’s cut off – about 14 inches. It’s only her second haircut.

An angel of an encoreBy Jennifer LangA smart and caring little girl from

Cloverdale is proof you’re never too little to make a big impact on some-one else’s life.

Katie Stubbings was just four-and-a-half when she sat down for her very fi rst hair cut, which is a bit later than most kids.

She refused to have it cut until her locks had grown all the way past her waist – and long enough to do-nate to Angel Hair For Kids, a non-profi t organization that makes and distributes wigs to children who have lost their hair to illness.

She’d been inspired to donate her hair by her late aunt Val, who ulti-mately lost her battle with the dis-ease before Katie was even born.

Th at fi rst haircut was three years

ago, and she’s been growing it out ever since. Finally, last week, almost to the day, Katie, now aged 7-and-a-half, went back to the salon.

And, just like the fi rst time, she’s donating her hair.

It took stylist Karen Pehlke of Karen’s Korner salon about an hour to shear off a lengthy pony tail – reputed to be 14 inches long and glittering with golden, sun-kissed highlights – and set Katie up with a brand-new ‘do.

Katie’s parents, Tammy and Ryan, couldn’t be more proud of their little girl.

“Whenever I get a bit teary, Ka-tie says, ‘It’s just hair. It will grow back,’” Tammy told Th e Reporter.

“Th is foundation really fi ts Katie’s reason for donating because she keeps telling us that she wants other

kids to be happy,” she said. “So, we are equally happy and supportive of her decision.”

Even Katie’s twin brother, Evan, had to admit he was impressed, telling mom on the ride home, “He thinks Katie is cute and he’s proud of her too,” according to Tammy, who works as a vice-principal at Mary Jane Shannon Elementary School.

Both children attend Adams Road Elementary School.

Angel Hair for Kids, a program of A Child’s Voice Foundation, pro-vides wigs for fi nancially disadvan-taged children in Canada who have lost their hair due to medial condi-tions or treatments, from cancer to alopecia, or burns.

able to conclusively link these investigations at this early stage, there are enough similarities that caused our analysts and investigators to take notice,” said Surrey RCMP Sgt. Carr.

“Our Youth Unit has spoken with the school and notices have gone out to par-ents to advise them of these incidents and provide infor-

mation to students on what to do if they encounter such an individual. Th is serves has a good reminder for all residents to be aware of their surroundings and to report any and all sus-picious activity immediately to police.”

Making progress on povertyVICTORIA – Th e B.C. government has made its most signifi cant moves in decades to ad-dress the needs of some of the province’s poorest people.

Th e largest fi nancial commitment is for a new program to help single parents escape from the welfare trap. Th ere are 16,000 single parents in B.C. receiving provincial income assistance or disability payments, most of them women.

Even if they could fi nd an entry-level job, it wouldn’t pay enough to cover the child care they would need to go to work. Worst of all, the current system requires that if they enrol in training, they lose their income assistance, including dental and extended medical care for themselves and their children.

Th at is the welfare trap, one of the most perverse government policies to have sur-vived into our supposedly enlightened mod-ern era.

Th e new program takes eff ect in Septem-ber. It will not only continue income assis-tance payments when single parents enrol in skills training, it promises to cover their child care and transportation costs for an approved training program of up to one year.

Medical and child care costs will then be covered for up to a year aft er training, to al-low a transition to employment.

Approved training means training for jobs that are identifi ed as in demand, requiring high school and occupation-specifi c training that can be completed in a year or less. Th ey

include retail sales, general offi ce work and assistance jobs in health services.

Another overdue policy change is to double the allowable earnings for all in-come assistance recipients from $200 to $400 a month. Th is gives people a chance to improve their circumstances by taking whatever part-time or casual work they can manage, without having that little income cut from their already meagre welfare cheques.

And then there was the recent decision to end the claw-back of parental child support payments from income assistance pay-ments.

Th e province has for many years run a costly child mainte-nance enforcement program to track down (mostly) deadbeat dads and force them to pay at least a token amount to support their children. Now when they pay child support to a single parent on income assistance, they will at least have the satisfaction of knowing the children actually receive the extra benefi t.

Th ese harsh, historic policies were built around a philosophy that welfare is a tem-porary last resort, to be withdrawn as soon as some other source of income is identifi ed. Th at is a valid if unfashionable position to take on behalf of working taxpayers who pay for all this, but it only makes sense if the

income assistance recipient has a realistic option.

For those who are already in the entry-level job market, the minimum wage goes up 20 cents an hour in September, from $10.25 to $10.45. Th is is the beginning of an annual review that will tie the wage to the consumer price index.

A paltry sum, to be sure, but anyone who still thinks jacking the minimum wage up to $15 an hour is a mag-ic solution that won’t cost some entry-level jobs is clinging to a socialist dream world.

• I have been contacted by several low-income seniors who read my recent column on B.C.’s Seniors’ Advocate.

Th ey were asking where to fi nd out if they are eligible for support programs such as the SAFER rent subsidy, assistance for Medical Services Plan premi-ums, property tax deferment and

grants to help with home modifi cations for disabilities.

I apologize for this oversight. One place to start is the Seniors’ Advocate toll-free infor-mation line, 1-877-952-3181, weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Retirees like us survive through cautious spending

I fi nd the March 12 article, “Cities urged to end seniors discounts,” quoting Harry Kitchen, munici-pal fi nance expert, absolutely inane.

My husband and I certainly do not fi t Mr. Kitchen’s parameters of “wealthy retirees” by any means and appreciate any breaks we are able to glean from the government.

Although we are not destitute, we have worked very hard for many years to fi t into a category of surviving day-to-day by spending cautiously.

Sadly, the powers that be give us breaks with one hand and snatch them away bullet-quick with the other. For example, seniors ferry rates were free Monday to Th ursday for a short time. When that

proved to be popular, they thought, “Let’s stick it to the old folks again,” and now we get to pay half

price, which will be even more now, as B.C. Ferries have upped their rates, yet again.

I believe we have earned the right to as many concessions as possible from the government and, oh, by the way, our children have been out of the school system for almost 25 years

now but we are still paying annual school taxes. What can the municipal fi nance expert do about

that?B.J. BrownCloverdale

To the editor

We’re not ‘wealthy’ by any means and appreciate any breaks

To the editor;Enough! Th e gridlock and congestion are from

mostly cars from south of the Fraser River and east to the Valley. Th ere was a promise 25 years ago to attack this issue.

Th e bill was already paid by the taxpayers (gas taxes and other taxes) but nothing was done. Now they promise... in 12 years this will be addressed.

Pay tolls, more gas taxes and a congestion tax that will never be enough because Vancouver city gets all the money for their infrastructure.

Th at is pure B.S. I’m sorry, but an LRT is street level. It was never good enough for Vancouver and north of the Fraser and it is not rapid transit (so stop saying it is).

Twelve years will not solve the congestion issues. Everything they are trying to sell is lies. I have lived south of the Fraser River for 27 years and have paid for rapid transit to Langley already.

Where is it? Oh yeah.Vancouver has all the infrastructure and is get-

ting more with the Broadway Line: Rapid transit to UBC.

Th at’s not an LRT, which are proposing now for Surrey and Langley...in 12 years.

It’s already 25 years too late! I’m voting no.

To the editor;As service organiza-

tion clubs and mem-bership appear to be in decline worldwide, the Surrey Langley area is no diff erent.

But what if another organization wanted to assist in reversing this trend?

Member clubs of the Optimist International organization, formed in 1919, are known to partner with their fel-low service groups in their community. Th e

Optimists are 72,000 strong with 2,600 mem-ber clubs.

A small core group of Optimists have been quietly poring over input on “Needs As-sessment” sheets that were given to prospec-tive members of a new Optimist Club forming

in Cloverdale. To start, they have identifi ed needs for Youth at Risk; Feed the Homeless and Youth Sport Develop-ment.

Without going into detail, there are some service opportunities here that seem to be be-ing partially met by the Cloverdale BIA and the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce.

Is this really where our BIA and CoC mem-bers should be investing their eff orts?

What if these two business interests were to turn the community service tasks over to the local community ser-vice clubs?

What about partner-ships among the ser-vices such as the Legion, Lions, Rotary, Knights of Columbus and the Optimists, for example?

While the business of tourism is well served by the Cloverdale Ro-deo, what about the Christmas Parade, the bicycle fair and the Hal-

loween party? Th ese are children’s

I believe that Sur-rey and Langley Tour-ism organizations are doing an excellent job commercially but what about the special needs of the youngsters in our community?

Transit forum

“Of those, 350,000 will be coming to Surrey,” Bellefontaine said, adding the city is predicting an-other 25,000 new jobs.

“For that to happen in a responsible way, a sustain-able way, it’s important we have a transportation sys-tem in place to allow that to happen,” he said.

Light rail is the “big ticket item” on the transit net-work upgrade for Surrey, vastly reducing travel times between town centres.

Delivery of LRT on the 104 Ave./King George Highway (or L-Line) would be in seven years, but the Fraser Highway line would be completed in 12 years, prompting one audience member to criticize the plan as “short sighted.”

Jeff Richards said “all the new residential growth is in South Surrey and Cloverdale – areas that he said won’t see improvements for eight to 12 years.

“My feeling on this, is it’s not a well thought-out plan,” he said.

“I don’t think I’m going to vote yes.”Th e forum was a joint presentation of the Clover-

dale District Chamber of Commerce and the Surrey Board of Trade.

Both organizations support the proposed conges-tion tax.

Cloverdale Chamber president John Gibeau said the tax is an “unobtrusive way to fi nance the transit expansion,” he said.

Capital projects would include a new Pattullo Bridge and improvements to arterial roadways that are jointly paid for by TransLink and Surrey, includ-ing 64 Avenue, which is a high priority.

Th e plan assumes seniors levels of government would contribute two-thirds of the costs for capital projects.

“Why on earth, at this stage of the game, is that not front and centre?” wondered Allen Aubert. “It’s very unsatisfactory from a business perspective.”

Not sure how he will vote, Aubert admitted the transit expansion and transportation improvements must go ahead. “I am still totally in favour of doing this,” he said. “It would be crazy not to.”

like to meet with those champions out there who have not yet found their niche in serv-ing their community but would like to work hard on a worthy and

A Cloverdale ‘Super fan’ enters Big Brother houseJordan Parhar’s TV strategy is part McLovin’, part Frank Underwood

By Jennifer LangAs many as 60 friends and family of

Cloverdale’s own Jordan Parhar were expected at a viewing party at Haw-thorne Beer Market and Bistro for the Monday night premiere of Big Brother Canada 3.

Parhar, a 21-year-old student and Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary grad, was set to enter the Big Brother House on March 23.

House guests on the reality TV show compete for the grand prize of $100,000, a $25,000 gift card from Th e Brick and a $10,000 trip.

In interviews, he describes himself as ‘Super fan’ who’s studied the show. His strategy is to initially play it nice with the other house guests in order to gain their trust.

“Really though, I’m probably the biggest threat in the house and the person everyone should worry about. I’m wearing a McLovin’ costume but I’m actually Frank Underwood from House of Cards,” he says in his Big Brother 3 bio.

Th e third season airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays on Global at 8 p.m.

News in brief

focus onwellness

Gelling up your jointsBy Christine Cheng, R.Ph and Frederick Cheng, R.Ph.

Why is it that as we age, our joints become annoyingly “creaky”? Part of it is that our joints are dynamic, ever-changing structures; new tissues are synthesized while at the same time, older tissues are degraded. As we age, the balance of building up and breaking down goes in favour of breaking down and our bodies are not able to “fi x” damaged tissues as readily. In the case of our joints, 1) cartilage may be damaged with wear and tear over the years, and 2) the synovial fl uid, which cushions the joint, is not as viscous and lubricating as it used to be. Both of these can result in the creakiness or decreased range of motion in our joints. We need ways to maintain the “jelly” in our joints.

To provide the body with the building blocks to repair the cartilage, look for a supplement that has glucosamine, chondroitin, or a combination of these and other glycosaminoglycans (or “GAG’s”). Keeping the cartilage healthy is important because cartilage found between articulating joints (e.g., knee, fi ngers, wrists) acts as shock absorbers as well as protect the bones of the joint from touching each other. It is important for the bones not to make direct contact with each other because nervous tissue is found in bones and not cartilage. Thus as the cartilage wears down and the bone is exposed, the nerves can

be triggered resulting in the sensation of pain. Some people may fi nd benefi t from a “simple” supplement consisting only of glucosamine or chondroitin. For others, a food-source of these and other connective tissue components (i.e., glycosaminoglycans) such as the Pernaliculus (New Zealand Green-lipped) SEA MUSSEL will be more effective. In our practice, we have found that MAORI MIRACLE with its blend of pernaliculus, cetyl myristoleate, collagen type II, white willow bark and hyaluronic acid is the most effective as it targets cartilage repair, pain reduction, and replenishing of the joint fl uid.

To help replenish the synovial fl uid (or “jelly”), look for a supplement that contains hyaluronic acid (HA). The synovial or joint fl uid acts as a lubricant thus reducing the friction between the articulating surfaces of each joint. This results in smoother movement in the joint and a reduced chance of feeling pain. HA is a moisture-loving molecule found in the joint fl uid, skin, aqueous humor of the eye and cartilage. It can bind moisture thus contributing to its lubricating function in the body. Most people may have heard about the costly HA injections that are available by prescription and performed by a doctor. However, we have had many patients report a benefi t for their creaky joints from oral supplementation of HA. We have had good experience with AOR’s HYALURONIC ACID, LYSINE & VITAMIN C. This combination helps in the development and maintenance of bones and cartilage, as well as aid in collagen and connective tissue formation. HA is also found

in the EXTRA STRENGTH version of RECOVERY.As mentioned in our other articles, fi sh and

krill oil supplements that provide a source of omega 3 fatty acids are benefi cial to those suffering from osteoarthritis as they reduce infl ammation and pain. They can also contribute to the general health of the joint tissues. Always look for a reputable brand that makes purity a top priority. We feel comfortable recommending OMEGAGENICS EPA-DHA 720 by Metagenics and ASTA-X-KRILL by Biomed. If you are looking to boost your brain health as well, consider TOCO-X-KRILL by Biomed.

Keeping your joints healthy requires maintenance of a healthy diet and appropriate level of physical activity. For many, you’ll also be surprised at how the appropriate supplements can boost the “jelly” in your joints and drastically improve joint comfort. Always check with a healthcare practitioner who is familiar with natural health products to ensure their safe and proper use. Attend one of our in-store Arthritis Seminars (Spring and Fall each year) for a much more comprehensive look at supplements benefi ting your joints and wellbeing.

Referendum Questions: Will mayors’ plan cut congestion?

Yes forces claim the 10-year plan of pro-posed upgrades will “cut congestion” and the document itself says drivers will “spend less time stuck in traffi c.”

Th e plan projects round-trip time sav-ings once the projects are complete of 15 to 20 minutes per day for drivers on some routes, such as Langley to Me-trotown or the North Shore to Tsawwassen, and 20 to 30 minutes for transit commuters.

But rarely do Yes campaigners make it clear that improvement is not compared to cur-rent conditions, but to the congestion that will exist 10 years from now if the proposed proj-ects don’t proceed and aft er more population growth.

So will drivers face less congestion than they do today if they vote Yes?

Urban planner Brent Toderian says it’s safer to say the plan will pre-vent much worse con-gestion in the future without the upgrades than to claim it will cut road congestion below current levels.

“When they say it’s going to cut congestion it doesn’t necessarily mean our roads are go-ing to be 20 per cent more empty,” he said. “What it means is we’re going to be able to move a lot more people in our region – to the benefi t of our region’s success in every way we can think of – without being trapped by congestion and gridlock.”

Th e reality is any room freed up on the roads – whether it comes from building new lanes or by some drivers switching to transit as that alterna-tive improves – is ex-pected to fi ll back up and revert to the same level of congestion, a phenomenon called in-duced demand in plan-ning circles.

But Toderian said while road congestion

might not change no-ticeably from the plan’s investments, boosting the transit sys-tem’s capacity so it can carry more people will be crucial because of continued popu-lation growth, which is forecast to add a million residents over 30 years.

Since Metro Vancouver keeps adding residents – and there is no way to stop them from com-ing – it needs to ensure a growing proportion of us move by transit, while the number driv-ing remains about the same.

“It won’t suddenly make the roads empty,” Toderian said of the plan. “But building more options prevents horrible congestion, as we’ve seen in other plac-es where it’s irrational to be in your car but there’s no other option.”

He points to cities in China where people could walk faster than the crawling vehicles but nobody does be-cause the poor air qual-ity makes it too danger-ous.

Punching new lanes of road through existing neighbourhoods to in-stead try to make more room for cars would be incredibly expensive, wasteful and damaging, Toderian said.

“When you build more capacity into transit, you’re moving people with a lot less public money and a lot less space,” he said.

More people and cars doesn’t just mean more time lost getting from point A to B in slow traffi c, but also more de-lays looking for parking in increasingly full lots and residential streets.

Th e space required just to park the forecast 600,000 additional vehi-cles under a do-nothing scenario is estimated to occupy 22 square kilo-metres, equivalent to one quarter of Burnaby.

Other trends are also important, particularly the densifi cation of the

region along transit friendly smart-growth corridors that developers now prefer.

Th e plan projects that even without the new in-vestments, the average Metro resident will drive 10 per

cent fewer kilometres per year by 2045 than they do today.

Th at’s because over time more people will be in a position to walk, bike or take transit for more trips, or will have chosen to live closer to where they work.

Th e plan’s proposed upgrades would only cut per capita kilome-

tres driven by another four per cent.

What really makes the diff erence in the mayors’ long-range plan out to 2045 – delivering a further 12 per cent cut – is an assumption that road pricing will be im-posed.

Apart from economic collapse, Toderian says international experi-ence shows nothing can truly cut congestion other than some form of road user fees.

Th at’s borne out by the free fl owing condi-tions on the Port Mann and Golden Ears toll bridges, compared to other congested free crossings like the Pat-tullo Bridge.

“What we’ve seen is the only things that ac-tually drop congestion are pricing mechanisms – toll roads.”

While an actual cut in current road conges-tion is doubtful, much more bus service should go far to meet demand and reduce overcrowd-ing and delays. Th e plan predicts the bus system pass-ups that now plague the busiest routes would be virtu-ally eliminated.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTORepresentatives of the 2277 Seaforth Highlanders Army Cadets Corps pose post-fundraiser at the Cloverdale Legion: Second Lt. Timothy Toth, Lt. John Ward, CI Dawn Royle, Cheri McBride, Dana Reid, Cpt. Mary Ward and Cpt. Mark Iredale.

Cadets rally for momSt. Patrick himself would have

been proud of the 2277 Seaforth Highlanders Army Cadets last week in Cloverdale. Th eir eff orts at a Legion gathering will help one of their own – a cadet mom battling breast cancer described as “such a beautiful woman, inside and out.”

To help Lt. Allyison MacDou-gall, a single mom undergoing cancer treatments, the cadets sold tickets for a St. Patrick’s Day pub night, held at the Cloverdale Legion March 17.

Th e fi nal tally isn’t yet in, but a 50/50 draw at the event brought in $200, and there was a silent auc-

tion as well. Overall, the evening is was thought to have raised several hun-dred dollars. Th e money represents a lifeline for MacDougall, who doesn’t qualify for sick leave ben-efi ts despite working three part-time, contract jobs.

Th ere is an online fun-draiser to help Lt. Mac-Dougall at www.gofund-me.com/allysmedicalfund.

So far, just over $3,000 has been contributed in two months.

“Allyison is by far the sweetest, kindest, nicest and most warm

hearted mother and friend that anybody could truly ask for,” her daughter writes on the campaign webpage, adding she hopes people will remember to keep Allyison in their prayers for a quick and safe re-covery.

“Th is woman and her daughter are very im-

portant to so many people, and es-pecially to those cadets in the army cadet corps she has been involved in,” friend Laura Sutton wrote.

By Jennifer LangIrene Jaakson, ex-

ecutive director of SAS Surrey, looked more than a little excited – and grateful – to take the keys of a brand new car, thanks to a chic new venture founded on social enterprise.

Just three months aft er opening its doors, Inn For Women in Clo-verdale has been able to purchase the new car for the charity, which relies on private donations.

Th e second hand boutique, which opened Dec. 1, is staff ed by volunteers and specializes in high quality clothing, jewelry, shoes and ac-

cessories. All items are donated.

Located at 5760 176 Street, Inn for Women was launched by lo-

cal retailer Yvonne Hogenes of Malary’s Fashion Network, along with two partners, as a source of revenue for

SAS Surrey, founded 16 years ago in Cloverdale.

Hogenes announced last week that the Inn for Women boutique

was able to purchase a Caspian Sea Nissan.

“Th at you to all of our amazing support-ers, shoppers, donors and volunteers,” she wrote on her Facebook

page. “Th is is what can be accomplished when we all work together.”

SAS provides safe homes, education, addiction prevention programs and more,

assisting exploited women and youth in Surrey.

Th e car will be used for appointments, shopping and more, Hogenes said.

Judge Fate Mays, from Corpus Christi, Texas, examines a cat at the Cat Fanciers of B.C.’s Lucky Black Cat Affair cat show on March 14 at the Pacifi c Inn.

By Jeff NagelVariable speed zones will be in place on a sec-

tions of the Coquihalla Highway, and on two other major routes, by next winter, featuring elec-tronic signs with limits that change depending on the conditions.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone spoke on Friday, March 20, to a meeting of the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce, outlining the province’s new 10-year transportation plan.

Stone told reporters three pilot areas — west of Revelstoke, around the Coquihalla Highway’s snowshed and at a location on the Sea to Sky Highway between Vancouver and Whistler — will be operational with variable speed limits in time for next winter.

Signs and sensors in the road will be tied to

the ministry’s traffi c-management centre in Co-quitlam to provide a variable maximum speed for motorists during snow or heavy rains, for ex-ample.

“Th e 120-km/h speed limit in the case of the Coquihalla might not be appropriate based on a big dump of snow,” Stone said. “In a matter of minutes, we’ll be able to dial that speed limit down.”

Th e project will cost about $24 million for all three locations. Each section is about 10 to 12 ki-lometres in length.

Stone said the technology is used in other juris-dictions, particularly in Europe.

“It’s proven to reduce collisions and save lives,” he said.

TRASH TALKWildlife Awareness Month in April is fast approaching and the BC SPCA would like to do a little trash talking.

Whether they eat it, get entangled in it or are poisoned by it, wild animals are injured or killed by garbage every single day. With spring (and spring cleaning) upon us, now is the perfect time to refl ect on the impact our trash has on wildlife and what we can do to help.

Some people just don’t see the harm in littering or not recycling, but the truth is that, in addition to being bad for the environment, even a single piece of litter can be very dangerous to wild animals. And not all littering is intentional. Garbage can easily be spilled when the truck comes around on pick-up day, or animals such as crows, raccoons and skunks can get into a trash bag and spread garbage around as they forage for food. Trash on the ground harms birds and land animals, but can also wash into storm drains and eventually end up in streams, rivers, lakes and oceans, where it causes further injury to aquatic animals. Items such as cigarette butts, plastic caps and lids, and plastic bags are choking hazards. Should an animal mistake a plastic cap for food and manage to swallow it, the danger isn’t over – these items can cause life-threatening blockages of the animal’s digestive system. Plastic items can also accumulate in the stomach, preventing the animal from eating real food. Eventually they die with stomachs full of plastic.

Jars and bottles can also become death traps for unsuspecting animals who try to get at the food scraps inside. Once trapped, animals struggle to remove the item but

if unsuccessful, starve to death. Animals can also be injured and suff er deep neck wounds as they frantically try to free themselves.

Out in the water items like six-pack rings and discarded fi shing line can entangle birds, fi sh, turtles and other wildlife, causing death by strangulation or drowning. These items can also wrap tightly and painfully around animals, cutting into wings and legs and preventing them from feeding or moving properly. Animals can develop fatal infections, lose limbs or starve.

The good news is that we can all make a diff erence.

The SPCA suggests taking these simple actions:

• Recycle as many plastic products as you can.

• Buy things with less packaging.

• Cut all six-pack rings so animals can’t be caught in them.

• Avoid products that come in plastics you cannot reuse or recycle.

• Bring your own cloth bags when you go to the grocery store.

• Ask your local grocery store to promote cloth bags.

• Pack your lunch in a reusable lunch bag with reusable containers.

• Use refi llable water bottles instead of buying bottled water.
