Kwantlen group learns about business while raising funds for

men’s health initiatives

by Evan Seal

A GROUP of Kwantlen Polytechnic University Entrepreneurial Lead-ership students are hoping to use the “cookie duster,” the “lip rug,” and the “crumb catcher” to promote men’s health while raising funds for cancer research and Kwantlen alumni.

Earlier this month, Katrina Babbini, Jim Martens and Jaskirat Bedi started marketing a special Movember-themed T-shirt as part of a year-end fi nal practicum class.

Th e Movember challenge began in Australia in 2004 when a group of men decided to challenge each other to see who could grow the best moustache.

Following the success of the competition, the group decided to raise funds for men’s health and a global fundraising campaign began.

Now, every November, various groups throughout the world take part in Movember moustache-growing competitions that benefi t men’s health initiatives.

Students get their ’stache on

by Kevin Diakiw

A FLEETWOOD man was beaten badly last week, he says, because his attacker thought he was gay.

“Th e catch is, I’m not gay,” said 25-year-old Kerry Tyler Street.

Street was skateboarding down 104 Avenue near 146 Street on Wednesday shortly aft er 3 p.m. when he came too close to another man.

He says in a video posted on YouTube that the man jumped in front of him and punched him in the face, breaking his jaw and knocking his teeth loose. On another blow, the

attacker broke his nose.When Street fell to the ground,

the attacker continued to kick him.

All the while, he was yelling at him, calling him gay.

“I’m lying in a pool of my own blood, just getting bigger and big-ger, and he just walks away,” Street said.

Port Mann toll evaders warned

Vigil to mark lives of two men murdered 20 years ago

by Sheila Reynolds

A CANDLELIGHT vigil will be held Saturday (Oct. 19) to remember the lives of two teens who were shot to death in Surrey 20 years ago.

Paul McDaniel, 15, and his best friend Chris Lussier, 16, were murdered beneath the Pattullo Bridge on Sept. 11, 1993.

A third teen was also shot in the head, but survived.

John Joseph Arniel is serving a life sentence for two counts of second-degree murder.

Th e family chose not to have the vigil on

the exact anniversary date of the teens’ deathsso as to not give the killer any more power than he already has had over their lives.

“Th e loss of these boys has left a hole in two families that can never be fi lled and forever changed the lives of all that knew and loved them,” said Lussier’s sister Wendy Chapman. “Th e world was a better place with them in it and they are forever missed.”

Th e vigil will be begin at 6:30 p.m. at ValleyView Cemetery, 14644 72 Ave.

Attendees are asked to meet at Lussier’s niche where his cremated remains are, and the group will then proceed to McDaniel’s grave. Candles will be provided.

ICBC poised torefuse licence and

insurancerenewals to

20,000 drivers

by Jeff Nagel

PORT MANN Bridge users who haven’t paid their tolls will soon be unable to renew their car insur-ance or driver’s licence.

Th e Transportation Investment Corp. that oversees the bridge has sent out warning letters to 20,000 vehicle owners whose TReO toll-ing accounts are more than 90 days overdue and owe at least $25.

If they don’t pay in full by Oct. 16, ICBC will refuse renewals.

Spokes-man Greg Johnson said the total arrears for unpaid tolls on the Port Mann is now $1.5 million.

“Th at’s a fairly small percentage,” he said, but

was unable to say how much non-payment was anticipated.

“Th e vast majority of drivers do pay their tolls.”

Th e Port Mann took in $15 mil-lion in net revenue in its fi rst four months of operations.

Johnson said that was in line with projections and would have been higher had several hundred thousand free trips not been handed out as early sign-up incen-tives.

More than 600,000 users are reg-istered with the TReO electronic tolling system and more than 1.7 million diff erent vehicles have used the bridge since it opened.

Individuals,organizations recognized for

helping theless fortunate

by Kevin Diakiw

THEY’VE GONE way beyond the call of duty in helping the home-less in Surrey.

And on Th ursday night, a few people and organizations

were named as recipients of the second-annual Heroes of the Homeless Awards.

Th e Heroes of the Homeless Awards are given to people and organizations in Surrey that exceed expectations in service to the homeless and to those at risk of homelessness.

Th ese are people who do not have a primary mandate or job to serve these populations – they do so simply out of the goodness of their hearts. Th is year’s heroes are:

• Dick AvisonDick Avison has been an

advocate for the homeless in South Surrey. More than fi ve years ago, Avison began vol-unteering to host the extreme weather shelter at the United Church, where there are 10 beds for homeless people who have nowhere else to go during the winter when it’s cold or wet. Avison has demonstrated compassion for those who are less fortunate.

• Dr. Ken Stones Dr. Ken Stones was instru-

mental in organizing the Peace Arch Free Dental Clinic, which

Homeless ‘superheroes’ honoured

In Surrey, the three Kwantlen students created Th e Must Stache Company as part of the business launch requirements needed for graduation, with all proceeds going towards providing low-interest loans to Kwantlen alumni who are planning to start their owns businesses, and to support prostate cancer research.

Th e product design is simple – a white T-shirt with a large black mustache printed across the front (or vice versa), along with the option of adding company names or logos beneath the ’stache.

“We really wanted to incorporate a cause to our project,” said Babbini. “It was also the time of year (nearing November) and I know a couple of people who are suf-fering from prostate cancer right now, so it

was something that was close to my heart.”Th e team has a goal of selling 500

T-shirts with the slogan, “If you can’t grow one, show one, and if you can grow one, show two!”

He’s never seen the man before, and says he didn’t try to take his money or his skateboard, and that it seemed he just wanted to deliver a beating.

“He didn’t like my face, so he tried to rearrange it,”

Street said. “I think that man was just a ticking time bomb – he was just looking for someone to injure.”

Street said he holds no ill-will to his attacker, and actually feels sorry for him.

“If that’s the way he treats people – if that’s the way he derives pleasure – he will

never know true love,” Street said in the video. “He will never know true happiness.”

Police are investigating the attack as an unprovoked assault, but not a hate crime as of yet. It’s possible the attacker was calling him those names to aggravate Street, police said.

Police are looking for a Caucasian man, 6’, with short blond hair.

Anyone with any informa-tion about the attack is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

A 29-YEAR-OLD Surrey woman is dead aft er being struck by a vehicle last week.

At 9:30 p.m. Th ursday, the woman was walking from west to east on 132 Street, not at a marked crossing, when a pick-up truck struck her near 105 Avenue.

She was rushed to Royal Columbian Hospi-

tal, where she succumbed to her injuries.

Th e 58-year-old driver from Surrey remained at the scene. Drugs or alcohol are not believed to be factors.

It is too early in the investigation to say whether speed was a factor.

Anyone with informa-tion about the accident is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

One of four missing people found alive

OF FOUR people who went missing last week in Surrey and Delta, two remain unaccounted for, one of them was found alive, and another was found deceased.

On Wednesday, the body of Yee Lin Chow, 83, was found in a ditch at Highway 1 and

176 Street. Foul play is not suspected.

Teen Michelle Arnold, who went missing Mon-day, was found safe.

Th e search has been called off for Cory Fergus, a Delta boater who didn’t return aft er checking his crab traps

on Boundary Bay.His canoe was found

Wednesday, but he remains missing.

And Joginder Mander,

who was reported miss-ing Oct. 7, has still not been found. He was last seen at the Barnston Island Ferry Terminal.

TransLink has revealed that it could spend up to $300 million on the Pat-tullo Bridge over the next three years.

Th is money will not be spent for a new bridge. It would be spent on repairs and seismic upgrading.

While TransLink has an obligation to maintain its facilities, this is a colossal waste of money. Th e Pattullo Bridge is not going to last for many more years. It needs to be replaced, and the big question now is where will that replacement money come from.

It makes sense to do only absolutely necessary repairs on the Pattullo, and they should come in at far less than $300 million. Th ere is no reason to do seismic upgrades, if the bridge is to be replaced within the next decade.

Money spent to seismically upgrade a bridge that will be torn down is completely wasted. Most bridge users will be willing to take a chance on an earthquake, if a date is set and a commitment made to replace the bridge.

If TransLink has $300 million to spare, and at this time it doesn’t with no funding formula on the horizon, that money is best spent in three areas.

Th e fi rst would obviously be on the minimal necessary repairs to keep the Pat-tullo operational.

Th e second would be as a down payment in a separate account, towards the replacement cost of the bridge.

Th e third would be on additional transit service south of the Fraser River, in Langley, Surrey and Delta. Th ese areas are among the most under-serviced areas in the region served by TransLink.

Th e fact that TransLink is setting aside up to $300 million for the Pattullo is a key indicator of the importance of more long-range thinking on transportation in the Lower Mainland.

Th ere needs to be much better co-operation between the province, TransLink and local governments. While a referendum on TransLink funding options has been proposed, as yet there are no details of what those options will be. At the same time, the province has announced a new river crossing where the Massey Tunnel now sits.

Th e province needs to consider the Pattullo replacement and other long-range projects at the same time.

– Black Press

As the B.C. Teachers’ Federation ex-ecutive moseys back to the bargain-ing table aft er a summer off , I’m re-minded of former education minis-

ter George Abbott’s thoughts on his time trying to establish a civil discussion with the province’s most militant union.

It started with a lecture.“In my fi rst meeting with the BCTF, and I

gather this is characteristic of all fi rst meetings with education ministers, the TF advises that yes, they are a union, but fi rst and foremost they are social activists and agents of social change,” Abbott recalled.

Th eir buzzword is “social justice,” which is portrayed by left ists as superior to plain old justice, in ways that are seldom defi ned. So what exactly are the goals of this “social change”? Here’s some of what I’ve gleaned.

Parents may recall the 2008 introduction of an elective high school course called Social Justice 12. Th is was mainly the result of intense protest by a couple of gay activist teachers, and the ministry curriculum describes its emphasis on inclusion of racial, cultural and sexual dif-ferences.

Th at’s all good, and it’s now bolstered by

urgently needed anti-bullying and empathy eff orts at all grades.

Th en there is the BCTF version. It’s not just a battle against “racism, homophobia and sex-ism” but also “poverty and globalization.”

Th e BCTF has a quarterly “Social Justice Newsletter” fi lled with predictable economic assumptions. Readers of the latest issue are reminded at length that the United Nations takes a dim view of Canada’s record on human rights, including a right to housing. Undefi ned “poverty” statistics are cited, although Statistics Canada has nothing but incomplete relative measures.

One article describes a social justice club for Grade 2 and 3 stu-dents, with activities that include collecting food bank donations and “writing to the premier asking for a systemic plan to address child poverty.”

Leaving aside whether eight-year-olds can understand what “systemic” means, this rheto-ric is taken directly from the tired old NDP policy book. It rests on the cherished myth that

poverty is imposed by right-wing governments that refuse to double the minimum wage and pile more taxes on “the rich.”

And what about that darned “globalization”? Th e BCTF still has a 2001 teaching guide on

its website promoting the claim that Nike is uniquely guilty of making shoes and exercise gear in Th ird World sweatshops.

Teachers are to instruct students how to organize a boycott of Nike, thus passing the received wisdom of campus radicalism to the next genera-tion.

Th is was all debunked years ago. Are Adidas, Reebok, Apple and Microsoft any diff erent? Has nothing changed in 12 years? A quick web search will

show this is a stale old tale with a convenient villain, to avoid complex questions.

A BCTF offi cial assures me this unit is being updated. Once that one is done, maybe they could check over their teaching unit on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal, another labour of the union’s “social justice”

truth team.Entitled “What We Stand To Lose With

Pipelines and Supertankers,” it boasts wild-life photos and “key sources” from the left (Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives) to the far-left fringe (Pipe Up Network). It is another protesters’ guide designed around a pre-determined viewpoint.

BCTF bosses love to talk about the impor-tance of “critical thinking.” Th ese one-sided caricatures of Nike, Enbridge and other familiar villains seem designed to produce the opposite.

Th ey remind me of George Orwell’s classic novel 1984, where loyal party members are required to focus on selected enemies in a daily ritual called the Two Minutes Hate.

Perhaps this is a clue to why our school system produces so many students lacking in employment skills and bursting with demands for government-imposed wealth redistribu-tion.

MY LETTER is in response to the edi-torial “Fair compromise” published in Th e Leader Oct. 7.

Just what exactly is being placed upon the sacrifi cial alter of “com-promise” in the MK Delta Lands proposal?

For starters, how about the increasingly rare and endangered bog land, the long-term survival and health of Burns Bog, endangered

animals and their habitat, bog-spe-cifi c shrubs and fl ora, biodiversity, carbon capturing, water fi ltration and the beauty of nature?

MK’s off er to hand over one parcel of bog in order to destroy another parcel of bog is based on the refusal to explore alternatives. Th e implica-tion is that either MK gets its way or both parcels will be destroyed by industrial uses legally allowed. Th is

heavy-handed tactic is an obstacle, but one that can be overcome.

Th e obvious alternative is the inclusion of these parcels into the Burns Bog Ecological Conservancy Area. Th ese two parcels of bog were left in the hands of private ownership when the Conservancy Area was created by various levels of govern-ment. Th is was a mistake that needs to be corrected and the Burns Bog

Society is doing what it can to make that happen. Th e United Kingdom has established bog habitats as a priority for conservation. We should do no less.

Th e MK Delta Lands plan is a good deal for the developer and Delta. Th e terrible loss to all of us is just too great to bear.

Jason Lewko, Delta

I HAVE GREAT CONCERNS over the Fraser Sur-rey Docks coal port proposal. I have been made aware of some of the many serious health impacts this may have on our communities and environment along the coal corridor, and that alone is enough reason to stop U.S. coal from coming into our province.

Th e awareness that coal dust can travel up to fi ve kilometers is beyond worrisome.

Th e serious health impacts caused by the coal dust and diesel particulate matter will only increase; therefore, many of your residents will have their health compromised.

Property values are already being aff ected by the coal trains.

People are choosing to stay away from buying homes near the railroad tracks and to homes in close proximity to a potential coal corridor route.

Th e decrease of property values will depend on the proximity of the homes to the railroad tracks and Fraser Surrey Docks, but the cumu-lative losses to market value and tax revenues could be quite substantial.

What this coal port proposal brings is a greater loss to the Canadian people.

Our health, fi nancial security and quality of life are at stake.

Even though I am a concerned citizen who grew up and lived most of my life in Whalley and North Delta, I now reside in Powell River, where this proposal has dire implications along the Texada Island routing.

I am expressing extreme opposition to the Fraser Surrey Docks coal port proposal and U.S. thermal coal.

Alan MorganPowell River

I OPENED UP MY BC Hydro bill this month (which is my anniversary month) and was shocked to see that they were going to charge me an extra $26.56 over and above my regular equal payment.

Most people would not be upset about this amount, but my situation is clearly not the norm.

First of all, when my smart meter was installed on March 2, 2012, it did not work, and this continued until Feb. 16, 2013, just two weeks shy of an entire year.

BC Hydro informed me that they were going to estimate my bills for the entire year and told me the amounts I was being charged were based on last year’s bill and they told me that they have the right to do this under the BC Hydro Tariff Act.

I know that I have never liked the fact that hydro estimates our bills every other month, but can you imagine how I felt when I was told that they were going to estimate my bill for a year?

I spoke to a supervisor who informed me that I have to pay the $26.56 and there is nothing I can do. I am quite upset about the fact that I feel these are not true amounts that I have had to pay and I am being left to feel that once again a big cor-poration is trampling the little guy and I don’t have a leg to stand on.

Jane Stevens, Surrey

Billing and bullying

I RECENTLY received a letter from BC Hydro, their latest assault on those of us who have refused to change out our analog meters for their smart meters.

In earlier letters, BC Hydro made the promise it would collaborate with customers who are concerned about radio frequency, with the objective of identifying solutions

that can be mutually supported. Th e ultimatum delivered in BC Hydro’s most recent letter certainly does not meet this criteria.

For customers who do not agree, the solutions to date have been to install a smart meter against a customer’s wishes; to insist that if they don’t want it on the wall of their home they must pay to have it moved to another location; or they now must pay costs amounting to a 40-per-cent monthly increase for meter reading that was never monthly to begin with.

Th is bullying, intimidation and extortion by BC Hydro must stop. Shame on BC Hydro and the B.C. Liberals who keep changing the laws to accommodate such tactics.

BC Hydro must be called on to live up to their promises and return

to being the Crown corporation every British Columbian was proud of, willing to work on mutually supported solutions, make sound decisions to benefi t their domestic customers, and provide information that bears some integrity.

Liz Walker, Surrey

Stand your ground

BC HYDRO is still trying to intimidate the remaining four per cent (some 60,000) customers resisting smart meter installs.

Th e $1-billion smart meter boon-doggle plot thickens as Hydro resorts to bullying threats of exorbitant extra fees added to your electric bills – a $100 set-up fee plus $20 monthly for a radio-off meter, or a $35 monthly

fee for keeping your old meter.BC Hydro cannot add arbitrary

monthly fees to anyone’s bill without BCUC (BC Utilities Commission) approval, yet they see fi t to send let-ters to ratepayers announcing extra billing fees as authoritative choices.

Th ere is also a class-action lawsuit against Hydro to stop “smart” meters (stopsmartmetersbc.ca).

Hydro’s claims of modern benefi ts are bogus. Smart meters are 24-hour transmitting snoop devices profi ling your personal energy use habits with the future purpose of charging you more for high-usage times of day.

Regardless of your reasons for resisting smart meters, stand your ground as it’s not conclusive until the BCUC makes its ruling.

I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE the raise in fees that the recreation centres are asking now for issuing a year-long pass to people who do not have a high income.

It used to be about $15 a year for a pass. It has now been changed to about $100.

Th ese fees are for healthy activi-ties, in centres that have been cre-ated with taxes paid by all.

Some of these people are now on low incomes, although many of them had many years of employ-ment, paying taxes that helped create these centres.

A new way for suites

I RECENTLY READ a story about illegal suites in Surrey. It could be construed that the city bureaucrats are unloading a problem that has been present for more than 20 years.

We have, as I understand it, at least 27,000 such suites.

Th is may be a conservative estimate.

It involves 50,000 or more resi-dents who fi nancially can aff ord these types of units at our present housing rates.

Using a sensible and humanitar-ian policy instead of fi nes and closures, with diligent inspections to ensure the livability and safety of the structures, the fi nes would probably be applied to 500 units.

Tax the homeowners a reason-able amount for the extra abode. Th e money over a period of time would substantially increase the city’s coff ers, and allow people to have a place to live and work from.

Am I being too interested in people, placing them above money?

Surrey, try this concept and ensure this city puts people fi rst.

SOME METRO Van-couver mayors want TransLink to ban heavy trucks from the aging Pattullo Bridge to extend its life.

Th ey say the $300 mil-lion TransLink estimates is needed to repair the bridge in the next three years – in addition to a potential $1-billion-plus for a replacement later on – is unaff ordable, especially as more trucks are using the span aft er the province tolled the nearby Port Mann Bridge.

“We need to prohibit truck traffi c on that bridge so we extend the life as long as possible,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan told Metro Vancouver’s transporta-tion committee Wednes-day.

“If not, then tear the bridge down and tell the

provincial government to build another one if you want to.”

Corrigan said the Pat-tullo would last longer if it handled regular vehicles only.

“Th e trucks are tearing that bridge apart,” added New Westminster Mayor Wayne Wright, who has called for reduced truck tolls on the Port Mann as a partial solu-tion.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts, the com-mittee chair, said there’s no doubt some trucks have diverted from the Port Mann to the Pattullo – adding to the damage there – because the prov-ince designated it the free untolled alternative.

But she was cautious on supporting a ban,

adding traffi c engineers would have to closely study the idea.

“If you’re going to ban truck traffi c on the Pattullo, then those trucks are going to go somewhere,” she said.

TransLink Strategic Planning Vice-President

Bob Paddon said any decision to remove the Pattullo as a designated truck route or otherwise restrict its use for goods

movement could not be done lightly and would require consultation.

“If the deck continues to deteriorate over time we may have to look at lane closures or poten-tially closing the bridge itself in dealing with future potential safety issues,” Paddon said.

Some mayors voiced support for a replace-ment that would link Surrey to Coquitlam at Brunette, bypassing New Westminster.

But Paddon called the bridge a vital connec-tion that directly links the Surrey and New Westminster city centres, as called for in Metro’s regional growth strategy.

It was also the fi rst time the com-mittee has met since Premier Christy Clark announced the Massey Tunnel will be replaced with a large new bridge, costing up to $3 billion.

Several mayors said the province can’t simply announce huge infra-structure projects with-out making sure they mesh with TransLink’s bridges and the regional plan.

“We cannot continue to do one-off s, whether it’s the Port Mann Bridge or a Massey bridge,” said North Vancouver City Mayor Darrell Mussatto, adding the region will be on a “road to nowhere” until there’s an integrated strategy that deals with all major corridors that are arbitrarily divided between TransLink and provincial control.

“We can’t plan land use while transportation planning is out of our hands and the provincial government chooses to make a political football of where they can make an announcement for each election on a new bridge,” Corrigan said.

He also said it’s unsustainable to build more lanes of traffi c leading to the Vancouver urban core, adding that will only leave cities like Burnaby and Richmond choked in traffi c conges-tion.

Any increase in lanes with a replaced Pattullo will add to the problem, Corrigan predicted.

“We’re rapidly turn-ing into L.A. junior.”

Corrigan argued Surrey’s downtown – designated the region’s second Metro core – should become the main city centre for people South of the Fraser, not downtown Vancouver, and should increasingly host major entertainment and other regional destina-tion amenities.

A staff report raised concerns that a large new Highway 99 bridge could run at cross-pur-poses to the regional growth strategy.

a Land Use Contract

by Tom Fletcher

THE B.C. environment ministry has released its promised study of the current state of crude oil spill response capability, tracking the growing tonnage of petroleum shipping along the West Coast and estimating response time and eff ective-ness if oil was to spill at sea.

Oil recovery in computer-simulated oil spills could be as high as 25 per cent aft er fi ve days, or as low as four per cent for Alaska crude, with another quarter evapo-rating.

Th e study was com-missioned to back up Premier Christy Clark’s conditions for B.C.’s approval of expanded heavy oil shipments, either from twinning the TransMountain pipeline from northern Alberta to Burnaby, or the proposed

Enbridge Northern Gateway project across northern B.C. to a new tanker port at Kitimat.

Environment Minister Mary Polak said the study shows the need to increase response capability before the B.C. government would consider increased oil

shipments.“While we

respect federal jurisdiction over marine spills, we must ensure B.C.’s interests are being met, and that means adding more resources to protect our

coast,” Polak said.Th e three-volume

report also details the huge and growing traffi c that exists now.

Shipping data show a 17-per-cent increase in marine traffi c volume from 2011 to 2012. An estimated 110 mil-lion cubic metres of petroleum products per year are shipped, about one-third of which is

crude-like bunker oil carried as fuel on ships of all kinds.

Th e biggest tanker cargo is 38 million cubic metres of mostly Alaska crude a year.

Th e study includes recovery estimates for seven oil spill scenarios, six of which assumed a spill of Alaska North Slope crude that has been shipped by tankers down the B.C. coast to U.S. refi neries since the 1970s.

Two scenarios involve an Alaska crude spill in Dixon Entrance, with four-per-cent recovery in summer and three per cent in winter.

One scenario exam-ines a summer-time spill of diluted bitumen in the Juan de Fuca Strait, with response from Canadian and U.S. ships and oil recovery equipment. It estimated 31-per-cent oil recovery aft er fi ve days, in summer conditions with daylight-only opera-tions.

Diluted bitumen tanker shipments from Kinder Morgan Canada’s Burnaby terminal hit a high of 69 in 2010. Th e expansion would mean 300 tankers a year in

and out of Vancouver harbour.

Th e federal govern-

ment has launched its own research project to model the drift and

behaviour of a bitumen spill in the ocean around Kitimat, and funded

marine weather forecast-ing to facilitate shipping.

Marijuana petition off targetBut Sensible BC predicts slow sign-up start will accelerate


by Jeff Nagel

POT REFORMERS have fallen short of their sign-up target for the fi rst third of their campaign to force a provincial referendum on marijuana enforce-ment.

Sensible BC spokes-man Dana Larsen said the campaign had 65,000 signatures as of Oct. 9 – 15,000 less than their aim of 80,000 by the 30-day mark of the 90-day petition drive.

“We’re a little bit behind the target we set,” Larsen said, add-ing getting canvassers offi cially registered has proven more onerous than expected.

But he remains con-fi dent the campaign can succeed in getting the signatures of 10 per cent of eligible voters in every B.C. district.

That would take 300,000 signatures in total, but Larsen said the aim is for 450,000 or 15 per cent in each riding to provide a buffer against signa-tures that are declared invalid.

The campaign aims to pass legislation that would bar police from spending any time or resources enforcing the federal law against possessing small amounts of marijuana.

Its goal is to use that as a starting point to work towards broader cannibis legalization.

Defeat in any single district means the petition campaign fails.

And even if it suc-ceeds, a referendum is not automatic – the Legislature could introduce the pro-posed Sensible Polic-ing Act but not put it

to a vote. If it was sent to

another referendum it could be non-binding – the HST referendum after a successful Fight HST petition was binding only because Premier Gordon Campbell declared it so.

Fight HST also had many more signatures at their 30-day mark – more than 300,000 – and wrapped up with 705,000.

“They got a lot more than they actually needed,” Larsen said. “They could have done it with less.”

Larsen said canvass-ers have already got nearly enough signa-tures in Vancouver districts like the West End and along False Creek.

Most Interior and Northern districts are also doing well, with

about a third of the signatures gathered, and campaigns are running ahead of schedule in Nelson,

Kelowna and Kam-loops.

Suburban ridings in Metro Vancouver, including Surrey and Coquitlam, have proven more challeng-ing.

“Surrey is a bit of an issue. It’s a lot of districts in one city and a lot of people that we need.”

Canvassers from Vancouver will be sent to those areas as Van-couver ridings wrap up, Larsen said.

So far, Sensible BC has 3,000 canvassers registered, up from 1,600 when they launched.

Larsen expects the canvasser count will grow to 4,000 by the early December dead-line, but that would be well short of Fight HST’s 6,500 canvass-ers.

Petition locations are on the Sensible BC website at sensiblebc.ca.

“Surrey is a bit of an issue. It’s a lot of districts in one city and a lot of people that we need.”

A FRASER VALLEY entrepreneur marked the recent opening of the Critical Care Tower lobby at Surrey Memorial Hospital with a landmark gift to the hospital foundation.

In honour of Ralph and Lorraine Berezan’s $2-million donation to Surrey Memorial Hos-pital Foundation, the lofty, light-filled space is now named the Lorraine and Ralph Berezan Lobby.

Ralph Berezan is a longtime supporter of the hospital, as well as a successful businessman

with roots in the Fraser Valley. He has been an active member of the foundation’s board of directors for five years.

The Berezans’ donation is part of the founda-tion’s Building Foundations Campaign. The funds from this campaign will be used to pur-chase 20 per cent of the equipment needed for the tower, which is scheduled to be completed and open for patients in June 2014.

A SALUTE TO SMALL BUSINESS WEEKOCTOBER 20-26, 2013

In anticipation of Small Business Week, which offi cially kicks off on October 20, the Surrey Leader and participating businesses salute small business operators with this four-page section.

By defi nition, a business can be classifi ed as small, medium or large through a number of methods, including production levels and revenues. However, the most commonly used defi nition focuses on the number of individuals employed. In British Columbia, a small business is defi ned as one with fewer than 50 employees.

According to the latest statistic, British Columbia was home to a total of 391,500 businesses in 2011, of which 98 per cent (385,100) were classifi ed as small businesses.

SBOT hosts a number of events during Small Business Week

A MONTHS-LONG roadworks and utilities project at Cloverdale West Village is creating a big headache for the owner of a local donair shop.

Aziz Hamo of Shannon Donair at 17581 57 Ave. says business has dropped by 50 per cent in the past few weeks.

“Th e construction keeps people away from the area and sometimes blocks the road,” he said. “It’s aff ected my business.”

Th ere’s also less available parking, says Hamo, who adds he wouldn’t be worried if the interruption was only going to last a few days, but

nearby businesses were warned in July the project will last upwards of six months.

Th e site of the former Cloverdale Mall is being developed for a multi-phase residential and retail project spearheaded by the Surrey City Development Corporation and Townline Housing Solutions, in collaboration with the Cloverdale Legion on phase one.

Off site roadworks on 57 Avenue began early last month, introducing heavy machinery, fl agging crews and giant pylons that have been placed on the north side of the road between 175 Street and the Clover-dale bypass.

Th e pylons are needed to prevent

people from wandering onto the work site, according to project manager Pat Bickerton of B&B Contracting, the company creating new roads, sidewalks and utilities infrastructure so the long-awaited Cloverdale West Village project can get started in 2014.

“Th e road isn’t blocked. Th e road has been open to traffi c,” Bickerton said, adding there are no plans to shut down any roads while work progresses.

Th e project is on schedule, mean-ing there may be no immediate relief for Hamo.

Hamo spent eight months and about $25,000 on renovations before opening Shannon Donair in August

2011. Before that, he worked as a delivery person for Aaron’s Restau-rant, saving up for a business of his own.

He’d like fi nancial compensation for his lost business.

Amanda Silvers, City of Surrey spokesperson, says there is no mechanism to compensate business owners who are disrupted by city infrastructure projects because those projects are presumed to benefi t all.

“At any time when we do infra-structure, the improvements are for all residents. It’s benefi ting the entire city” including businesses that are temporarily aff ected by the work, she said.

ICBC CUSTOMERS who speak Punjabi can now discuss their acci-dent claims in their language, thanks to a new Punjabi claims line that launched last week.

The toll-free phone line will allow custom-ers to immediately connect with a Punjabi interpreter who can help them discuss their claim with ICBC. The service is available

from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week, at 1-866-906-6163.

It is an enhancement of ICBC’s existing claims translation service and provides more streamlined access over the current process, where cus-tomers need to contact ICBC first before they can speak to an inter-preter.

“Punjabi is the most common language spoken at home by British Columbians

after English, with 4.5 per cent of the total population indicating that Punjabi is their first language,” said

Amrik Virk, Minister of Advanced Educa-tion and MLA for Surrey-Tynehead.

Further enhance-

ments to better serve customers who speak Mandarin and Can-tonese will be made by 2015.

ICBC originally introduced a transla-tion service in 2010 in claim centres and through Dial-a-Claim. It was expanded to licensing offices two years later.

The number of call-ers that use the service has steadily increased year-after-year, with more than 22,000 calls

made in 2012, with 21 per cent of calls requiring a Punjabi interpreter. For claims calls alone, the num-ber of calls requesting a Punjabi interpreter increased by approxi-mately 53 per cent from 2011 to 2012.

ICBC’s transla-tion service is free and offers assistance for more than 170 languages through interpreters provided by LanguageLine Solu-tions.

ICBC has additional information available on icbc.com to serve its multicultural cus-tomers.

ICBC also provides Chinese and Punjabi versions of its “At the scene of a crash” claims card that customers can keep in their vehicles and use if necessary to help them record the infor-mation they need in order to make a claim.

Founded 91 years ago by two brothers who originally set out to sell tires, homemade anti-freeze and a small range of automotive parts, Canadian Tire just may be Canada’s biggest “small” business success story.

In 1922, with a combined savings of $1,800, brothers John and Alfred Billes bought a tire and automotive garage. Choosing the name Canadian Tire, because “it sounded big,” the brothers quickly began receiving inquiries from people across the country looking for hard to come by automotive parts.

With a knack for providing its customers with innovative products and solutions, today, Canadian Tire and its associate dealers have grown to include more than 1700 retail and gasoline outlets across the country.

“But, don’t let the name fool you,”

says Canadian Tire Manager Kevin

Gray. “While we still have all

the tools and everything

you need to keep your automobile in top shape, today, we are just as well known for sports and leisure items, as well as kitchen, bath, and home and garden products.”

Gearing up for the holiday season, as usual, Canadian Tire is chock-full of everything needed to ring in the festivities. From a huge selection of decorations—including 110 different styles of indoor and outdoor lights—to scented candles, seasonal tableware, as well as gift ideas for absolutely everyone on the list.

“Canadian Tire is like having a whole bunch of stores under one roof. People love that they can come in and get necessities such as cleaning supplies, paper products, coffee makers, vacuums, and aluminum foil, while at the same time, find everything from

tools to camping gear, hockey equipment, treadmills, toys, wine glasses, pictures, vases and even baby

furniture. We also offer assembly & delivery.”

For maximum convenience, Canadian Tire offers a complete automotive centre providing a comprehensive list of products and automobile maintenance and repair services. From tune-ups and scheduled maintenance to batteries, new brakes, and, of course, tires, Canadian Tire is the one-stop-shop for multi-taskers.

With the cooler temperatures settling in, Canadian Tire offers a number of ways to keep the family

cozy and warm this season. In addition to programmable thermostats and free standing heaters, its

stylish line of electric fireplaces will not only heat everyone up, they’ll add a charming element of sophistication to any room in the house. A less expensive alternative to gas, simply plug in and enjoy.

Located locally in three convenient locations: Newton, Whalley and on Scott Road, Gray says Canadian Tire’s success is built on the fact that it always focuses on the customer and makes a point of being a leader in introducing new and innovative products.

“Canadian Tire is also ‘going green,’ said Gray. “We’re offering a line of green products and solutions for

home—everything from low energy light fixtures to energy efficient light bulbs and biodegradable cleaning products.”

And, while Canadian Tire has grown to offer an incredibly diverse collection of

products and services, you can still also find the best value on tires and automotive accessories around. From its humble beginnings to one of Canada’s best-known and most successful retailers, Canadian Tire, your country salutes you.

TRANSLINK PLANS to buy more compressed natural gas (CNG) buses that it shunned for years and Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan is questioning whether the reversal is politically motivated.

Th e transportation authority has more than 50 CNG buses, some dating back to the 1990s, but it rejected new purchases for years aft er concluding they weren’t cost-eff ective due to high maintenance costs and other problems.

In the mid-2000s, the then-elected Trans-Link board wavered several times on which fuel type of bus to buy while being heavily lobbied by dueling industry groups.

Corrigan wonders if the private unelected board has embraced CNG to please the pro-vincial government as it promotes natural gas exports as a key to B.C.’s future.

“Is this about politics, about provincial government pressure to ensure that natural gas buses are here because we market so much natural gas worldwide?” he asked at a Metro Vancouver meeting Oct. 9.

TransLink Executive Vice-President Bob Paddon said the decision to buy 54 new natural gas buses, using federal gas tax funds, was a staff recommen-dation, endorsed by the board, not a decision forced down from the board.

He said early CNG buses were “very problematic” but the technology has improved dramatically and the much lower price of natural gas today has made it very attractive.

“Right now our assessment is the CNGs are

a good replacement rather than purchasing new clean diesels.”

Paddon, who chairs the Canadian Urban Transit Association, said several other transit

agencies are now looking at CNG.

“Th ere’s just a much stron-ger business case than it was 10 years ago,” he said.

A 2012 effi ciency review of TransLink also recommended it expand the CNG fl eet in light of better life cycle costs.

Replacing old diesel buses with compressed natural gas will cut particulate and nitro-gen oxide emissions by 90 per cent and greenhouse gas emis-

sions by 15 per cent, according to TransLink.TransLink also plans over the next three

years to buy dozens more diesel-electric hybrids, which Paddon said are ideal in urban traffi c where electric trolleys can’t run.

He noted regular diesels are still also needed for some routes because the advantages of elec-tric hybrids are lost on long highway runs.

All-electric non-trolley buses are also on the horizon, Paddon said, likely available in as little as three to fi ve years.

TransLink can only refuel natural gas buses at its Port Coquitlam bus depot, but that capa-bility may be extended to depots in Surrey and Richmond.

BC Ferries is also moving to power some of its ferries by natural gas.

Corrigan contends that running a wide range of buses of diff erent fuel types drives up costs, making CNG an unwise experiment in light of the past problems.

SOUP SISTERS and Broth Brothers is creat-ing a stir in the Surrey community this fall for Evergreen Transition House, a local shelter which has been operat-ing since 1986.

Evergreen provides a safe, secure and confi dential refuge for women and children who are at risk of or fl ee-ing from abusive and/or violent intimate relation-ships. Evergreen provides a 10-bed shelter and related services (meals, basic immediate needs, etc.) and is accessible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Last year, Evergreen helped 72 women and 70 children. Th e transition house off ers temporary shelter for up to 30 days.

Soup Sisters and Broth Brothers is non-profi t organization that part-ners with commercial certifi ed-kitchens to share soup-making secrets while ladling up support for a good cause. It launches in Surrey on Oct. 15.

“Historically, women have expressed sensitivity and support by bringing soup to individuals going through a diffi cult time,” says Sharon Hapton, Soup Sisters’ founder. “Our huge growth across the country tells us quite a lot about people in our communities and our innate need to give in meaningful and tangible ways. Th is is a giant hug in a bowl.”

Soup Sisters and Broth Brothers will be provid-ing Evergreen with a monthly supply of fresh, homemade soup made from the heart under the guidance of Phillip Agu-

irre, owner of Bistro 72, located at the Old Surrey Restaurant.

“Th e women and children at the transi-tion house come from very diverse backgrounds and cir-cumstances” says Deara Dirk, senior program manager at Evergreen

Transition House.“Our goal is to make

the transition house feel welcoming, safe, and comfortable, says Deara. “Soup Sisters have now become a part of this goal. Th rough their car-ing and kind-hearted gift of comforting soup,

Soup Sisters is making a diff erence in the lives of women when they need it most. It means a great deal to women when they know that someone else cares about them.”

FALL IS a dangerous time for songbirds. Heading south to escape the approaching winter, many fl y at night and use daylight hours for feed-ing and resting.

When stormy, wet weather disrupts their journey, hungry birds descend like a gaggle of tourists.

Unfamiliar with their immediate surround-ings, eagerly looking for

berries and insects on which to feed, they form noisy, fl uttering, excited groups, easily distracted by a passing hawk or a bounding dog.

Landing on bird feed-ers, fruit trees and lawns they are prone to fl y up suddenly, making win-dow collisions a frequent occurrence at this time of year.

Window alignment or the refl ection of sky and

trees may mislead birds into seeing an escape route.

Th rushes, sparrows, warblers and fl ickers (a large woodpecker) are oft en the victims of col-lisions.

Th e beautiful varied thrush, with its high-pitched, eerie whistle and love of dark forests, is seemingly unable to dis-tinguish panes of glass.

A cat on the loose can also be a huge danger to migrating birds. Hunting is in a cat’s genes so it has a natural interest in birds and small mammals. Chickadees, nuthatches and juncos are at risk when lively cats grab them off a low-hanging branch or feeder. Whole families of chickadees can perish with one enthusiastic cat on the prowl.

Song sparrows and wrens feeding on the ground are particularly easy prey. A new study by Environment Canada reveals that a whopping 196 million birds are killed in Canada by domestic and feral cats.

A further 25 million die in window collisions. Th ese are signifi cant and avoidable contribu-tions to bird population declines.

We can take action to reduce this upsetting high death rate. Bird feeders should be placed either at a distance, or very close to house win-dows, so that a startled bird does not fl y up and into glass. Transparent, ultraviolet decals, sold at wild bird stores, make windows more visible to birds, which can see UV light.

Th e concession build-ing at Centennial Beach, Boundary Bay, uses bird-friendly glass, an option for new construction.

To prevent bird kills by cats, some owners have switched without prob-lems to keeping their pet indoors. A fully-netted, accessible outdoor area is an option for others.

Where cats roam free, bird feeders should be hung out of reach from a leaping cat or else removed completely. Such solutions are needed to maintain a bird-friendly neighbour-hood and put an end to songbird declines.

WHEN HE retired from pro hockey, Peter Schae-fer admits, he never saw himself here at South Surrey Arena early on a Wednesday morning, trying to get the offi ce fax machine to work.

But the 36-year-old former NHL forward with a trio of titles with the Surrey Eagles – head coach, general manager

and president – is busy trying to fi le paperwork with Hockey Canada and the BC Hockey League to complete a few player acquisitions… so fax-machine repair man has been added to his business card, for this week at least.

Nobody else is around anyway, save a visiting Peace Arch News reporter.

Schaefer, a native of Yellow Grass, Sask., is in his second year with the Eagles and fi rst as head coach – he was an assis-tant coach last season – and he admits the career path isn’t one he thought he’d take when he retired from the ice in 2011.

“It’s not something I ever thought I’d do. I thought maybe I’d coach minor hockey, helping out friends and family,” said Schaefer, a father of three. “But I never thought I’d be here doing this. It’s all progressed naturally and I’ve really enjoyed it.”

Schaefer, who played professionally from 1997-2011 – including two stints with the Van-couver Canucks – has known members of the Surrey Eagles ownership group, including current majority owner Chuck Westgard and former owner Ronnie Pater-son, for years, dating back to his NHL days.

It was during a golf trip to Mexico a few years ago that the idea of coaching in Surrey was suggested to him.

“Chuck wanted me to come out and give it a try but, at the time, I wasn’t really interested. But aft er enough hound-ing, I fi gured I would give it a try,” Schaefer laughed.

He spent last season as an assistant coach to Matt Erhart and –

during the off -season – added president to his job description. When Erhart left the Eagles in June for a coaching

job with the Western Hockey League’s Van-couver Giants, Schaefer took over head coach/GM duties, too.

“Th ere’s a learning curve, for sure. Coaching hockey is the easy part, and I really like working with the kids, but it’s stuff like learning the Hockey Canada registry, getting guys signed to cards – that kind of stuff – that you have to fi gure out,” he said. “But last year with Matt, we kind of shared some of those duties, so it wasn’t completely new to me.”

Th e hardest part of the new job, Schaefer said, is having to tell players they’ve been traded or released. Schaefer isn’t used to being the bearer of such bad news, but is rather familiar with

being on the other side of the table.

Th rough a long pro career in which he’d been bought out, released

and traded – from the Canucks to Ottawa in 2002, aft er a contract dispute that included then-Canucks GM Brian Burke famously threat-ening to “drive him to the airport,” if he wished to play elsewhere – he knows what it’s like to hear the words he now delivers to his teenage players.

“When you have to cut a kid or tell him he’s been traded or scratched from the lineup – I don’t enjoy that part of it. It’s the part of the game I really didn’t like when I played, and I don’t think that will ever change.

“It’s always going to be an uncomfortable scenario. And at the end of the day, you just try to be honest and upfront with them.”

Schaefer’s players-fi rst mentality likely stems from the fact that’s it’s been barely two years since he last laced up skates professionally – aft er playing 16 games with Vancouver in 2010 he was released and fi nished the year playing in Europe – and the fact that, deep down, he knows he could have continued his career there for a few more seasons.

Instead, he said, he was frustrated by the business side of the game and decided to come home.

He spent just over a year for family time before taking the Eagles’ off er to get back into the game.

“I have three kids under four, so it’s proba-bly harder being at home than it was being at work every day,” he laughed. “But it was a lot of fun, too. I wouldn’t change a thing. And now we live like two minutes down the street, so it’s still great to be nice and close.”

So far, for the fi rst-year coach, it’s been a fairly successful season behind the bench. Th e team is retooling its roster on the fl y aft er last season’s run to the Royal Bank Cup, and though currently on a three-game losing streak, the team’s been competitive and sits with a 5-6 record in the BCHL’s Mainland Divi-sion, just fi ve points out of fi rst place.

Schaefer admits he probably has a little bit more roster juggling to do – assuming the fax machine co-operates – before he’s completely satisfi ed with his lineup.

“I’m just trying to be the best coach I can be, and trying to get the most out of each of the players.”

CANADIAN soccer star Christine Sin-clair will be paying a special visit to the 2013 CCAA Women’s Soccer National Championship, a four-day competition between Canada’s eight top provincial confer-ence teams hosted by Kwantlen Poly-technic University (KPU) this November.

Captain of the Canadian national team, Burn-aby-born Sinclair won the bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics, won the Canada Soccer Player of the Year award 10 times and was last year named Canada’s Female Athlete of the Year. Th is September, she was inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame.

She will be attending the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) tournament where some of the country’s top female student-athletes will vie for the championship title November 6-9 at Newton Athletic Park.

“We already know this is going to be an outstanding tournament, but having one of the best players in the world attend brings it to a new

level,” said Kwantlen Eagles assistant coach Joan McEachern, who used to wear Sinclair’s number 12 on the national team.

“With Christine attending the event it will raise its profi le, bring even more excitement and be very special for the players.”

Th e KPU Eagles – who won bronze at the 2009 CCAA national

champion-ship – will double as hosts as well as partici-pants.

Th e tournament, just blocks from KPU Surrey, is open to the public with seating for 1,000 at the varsity fi eld.

Elementary, high school and post-secondary students are eligible for free admission with a valid student ID. Th ere are also other ways to get involved: Volunteer opportunities are open to the general public, allowing students, sports buff s and community members the unique chance to participate in a national event with the nation’s top female student soccer players.

For more information on the event, visit: www.kpu.ca/eagles or contact Joshua Mitchell, Director of Student Engagement, at [email protected] or 604-599-2474.
