Surrey school trustees say the provincial government is forcing the school district to participate in a money-saving measure that not only won’t save Surrey dollars, but may add costs in the long run.

Th e issue lies with the sharing of services between B.C. school districts – an initiative of Bill 11, the Education Statutes Amendment Act passed earlier this year.

Th e idea is to reduce overhead in individual districts by sharing costs for services such as technology, transportation or legal services.

Trustee Terry Allen, who’s a rep-resentative on BCPSEA (B.C. Public School Employers’ Association), said Surrey recently learned it will be mandatory for the district to share

Th e Wild West days of unlimited spend-ing in municipal election campaigns are about to end.

Th e province is proposing election spend-ing limits on civic government, a move which is hoped to level the playing fi eld in local politics.

Th e proposed spending limits are tallied on a per-capita basis and will be in eff ect for the 2018 civic election.

Th e permitted spending amounts vary by the size of each municipality according to a population-based formula.

It works out to $10,000 for mayoral candidates in cities of up to 10,000 people, rising to $89,250 for a population of 150,000, and reaching $149,250 for a city of 250,000.

An extra 15 cents per capita is added after 250,000 for the biggest cities.

Spending by councillors, regional district directors and school trustees would be capped at half the limit of mayors in their areas.

Based on Surrey’s population, the limit would be $96,366 for a city councillor and $188,750 for mayor.

If in place for last year’s civic election, the rules would have imposed a cap on spend-ing for all eight Surrey First councillors and mayor to $957,678.

It would have sliced about $250,000 from the spending by Surrey First in 2014, a coalition which spent $1.2 million winning all seats on council.

Mayor Linda Hepner told Th e Leader

she’s comfortable with the proposed spend-ing limits. She described last year’s election as a “bit of an anomaly” as it was so hotly contested.

“In my 30 years experience… it cost a lit-tle more than an ordinary general election,” Hepner said. “Th is last election was an expensive go-round.”

Th e Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Devel-opment, Peter Fassbender, said in a release Th ursday the spending cap would increase with the cost of infl ation.

“I think they’ve got this right,” said Dermod Travis, executive direc-tor for Integrity B.C., adding the sliding scale of the formula refl ects the diff erent needs of small and large communities.

“It’s unfortunate the other half of the equation is not being tackled at the same time, which would be donations. But I think they’ve found a good middle for where those caps should be on expenses.”

If the cap had been in place for last year’s election, mayoral candidate Barinder Raso-de would have overspent by $123,917.

She said in an interview that due to sign damage and other incidentals, her group, One Surrey, spent more than it intended.

Nonetheless, Rasode said she welcomes B.C.’s move to cap election expenses.

“I think it’s really important to have elec-tion spending limits,” Rasode said.

She said the proposed legislation is a great start, but there needs to be further reforms to election conduct.

She also wants to see a ban on election signs “for sustainability reasons, but also cost reasons.”

She said the spending limits being introduced create a “level playing fi eld” for independents and others who might not

have the same access to capital.

“I’m actually really proud of the campaign we ran,” Rasode said.

Asked if she would run again in 2018, Rasode wouldn’t rule it out.

“In three years, we will be looking at a very diff erent Surrey,” Rasode

said. “Th at decision is not one that I have to make right now.”

Fassbender said in a news release that the spending limits were brought about by wishes of both voters and candidates.

Th e recommendations were developed by a special legislative committee and have support of both the B.C. Liberals and NDP, as well as the Union of B.C. Municipalities.

Th e expense limits would apply from Jan. 1 of the election year until voting day.

Th e government is expected to table the bill on local election spending in the fall sitting of the B.C. legislature and is taking public comments in a fi nal round of consul-tations until Nov. 27.

JEFF NAGEL

A leading municipal lawyer predicts cities and senior governments will be under increased pressure to house the homeless as a result of a new court ruling that they can’t be stopped from camping in parks overnight.

Jonathan Baker says the B.C. Supreme Court decision last Wednesday that Abbotsford can’t evict the homeless from a municipal park has broad implications for other communi-ties, which may see more camps spring up in public spaces.

By making homeless tents an ongoing and legal fi xture in local parks, he said, the court has sent a signal that the problem can’t simply be covered up or chased away.

“You can’t govern by shoving a problem from neighbour-hood to neighbourhood or from city to city,” Baker said. “You can’t do it with environmental pollution and you can’t do it with mental health. Th at’s what this means.”

Baker said the Abbotsford decision by Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson was “very balanced” in that it did not require permanent homeless camps to be established. Advocates there had demanded a designated tent city, with facilities including washrooms.

It largely mirrors a 2008 B.C. Court of Appeal ruling on use of parks in Victoria.

In both cases, courts have held that cities with insuffi cient shelter spaces for local homeless can’t enforce their bylaws that normally prohibit overnight camping in parks, although tents must come down during the day so parks can be enjoyed by other citizens.

In Victoria, that’s meant daily police patrols to rouse home-less campers each morning at 9 a.m. and cajole them to take down their tents until 7 p.m., when they can go back up again.

“Both courts are saying that the problem of people camp-ing in parks is really a major mental health and social prob-lem and ultimately it has to be addressed by governments, one way or another,” Baker said.

He called it a “marked departure” by the judiciary from 1984, when B.C. Supreme Court let the City of Vancouver oust sex workers from the West End, prompting them to migrate to other neighbourhoods.

He sees “tremendous” potential for an appeal of the Ab-botsford ruling – if either side sees enough potential benefi t for the cost.

In the meantime, he said, all levels of government should redouble their eff orts to work together to provide lasting solutions.

Conservative MP Russ Hiebert’s career in feder-al politics may be at an end, but he’s looking at a comfortable retirement, thanks to his severance package.

Th e four-time South Surrey-White Rock-Clo-verdale MP – who announced over a year ago he wasn’t running again – represented the now-re-drawn riding starting in 2004.

Dianne Watts won the South-Surrey White Rock riding for the Conservatives in the Oct. 19 federal election.

Hiebert served more than the minimum six years to qualify for what the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation (CTF) calls a lucrative “fat-cat” MP pension.

According to the CTF, he’ll receive $83,700 in immediate severance. His annual pension – which starts in 2024 – will be $55,643. Th at works out to a lifetime pension (to age 90) of $2,791,083.

Hiebert, 46, can opt to start collecting his pen-sion at age 55.

On Tuesday, the CTF released its severance and pension fi gures for the 2015 federal election.

Out of the 75 MPs who re-tired or chose to not run again since 2011, Hiebert has the 22nd highest lifetime pension total.

CTF Research Director Jeff Bowes said those 75 MPs include 13 MPs who didn’t serve long enough to earn a pension (less than six years).

Conservative MP Nina Grewal, who went down to defeat in Fleetwood-Port

Kells, has a lifetime payout of $2.52 million for 11 years of service.

Ruling shines spotlight on homelessness

About a dozen tents were set up briefly in Whalley last year. City officials and social workers were able to find the homeless campers more permanent homes and the tents came down. FILE PHOTO

Baker said too many municipalities are concocting new definitions of low-cost housing that translate into tiny yet

expensive apartments and fail to respond to the problem.

Some of the home-less simply can’t be housed convention-ally, he said, adding some may need a modern type of insti-

tutionalization that blends support with some freedom.

That will take po-litical will from the provincial or federal government, he said, because it requires a coordinated approach

across municipal boundaries.

“If any one mu-nicipality came up with a true solution to homelessness – providing shelter of some sort – that’s where everybody would go and there’d be a shortage again.”

Small homeless camps pop up in Surrey periodically, but are usually dis-mantled after service providers find the campers some place to go.

On Oct. 13, the provincial govern-ment announced it would help build a new winter shelter in the city, which is home to the sec-ond-largest number of estimated home-less in the region after Vancouver and has also sought to remove tent encamp-ments.

The 40-bed tempo-rary winter shelter will be opened near the former Dell Hotel site in Whalley be-ginning next month.

The province will provide approximate-ly $400,000 to the Lookout Emergency Aid Society to oper-ate the new shelter, intended to provide a warm, safe place for those who are homeless or at risk for homelessness.

▶ SOLUTION TO TAKE POLITICAL WILL

labour relations and employee liability services.

“We have a huge labour relations department that deals with all our grievances and staff concerns. At the end of the day, the Surrey School District will continue to do business as usual. But now we’re going to have to pay to be in the shared services.”

Allen said the government has indicated sharing labour relations services between districts will save about $1 to $2 million annu-ally for the province.

While sharing such services can benefi t smaller school districts that have limited staff and resources, Allen says there’s no advantage for Surrey.

“We’ve worked hard to become

an effi cient labour rela-tions department and we’ve saved millions.”

Th e government has said the fi rst year of sharing labour relations services will likely be free for school dis-tricts, but it’s unclear how much each school district will have to pay after that.

Allen fears that if it’s like other costs, it’ll be based on enrolment. And if that’s true, as the largest school district in B.C., Surrey’s tab would be the highest.

When Bill 11 was introduced, many school boards voiced con-cerns about the legislation, saying it eroded their rights as elected offi cials. Th ose concerns linger.

“We have no problem with shared services, but boards should have a choice,” said Allen. “I’m elected to decide what we will and will not spend money on. Basically, we’re being pushed into some-thing.”

Last spring, the edu-cation minister of the day, Peter Fassbender, assured boards would maintain “considerable

autonomy” but made it clear all districts needed to participate in “fi nding effi ciencies.”

Surrey has requested to meet with the CEO of BCPSEA, the body implementing shared service agreements, as well as the executive director of the Service Delivery Branch.

Th e mayors of Metro Vancouver’s two biggest cities may not hang onto their infl uential posts overseeing TransLink in 2016 after leading this year’s transit funding plebiscite to a disastrous defeat.

Vancouver’s Gregor Robertson and Surrey’s Linda Hepner are the chair and vice-chair of the Mayors’ Coun-cil on Regional Transportation, and as a result they also sit as directors on the TransLink board.

Metro mayors will vote by early January on who should hold those seats next year.

Both the Mayors’ Council leader-ship positions and the TransLink board directorships bring major additional duties and consume large amounts of time.

Hepner told Black Press she is unsure if she will seek another year, acknowledging the huge commitment required.

“I am assessing wheth-er I need to be vice-chair of the Mayors’ Council,” Hepner said. “I thought (the role) was import-ant last year, given the plebiscite and my com-mitments relative to the mayors’ transportation plan.”

She added the Mayors’ Council is “critically important” to her, but “there are other things pulling at my coat tails.”

Th ose things include fi rming up the city’s relationship with the new federal Liberal government, collab-orative work with the region’s big city mayors and possible refugee settlement strategies.

“I am assessing my time,” she said. “I have made no fi rm commitment one way or another.”

Robertson and Hepner took on the roles for 2015 in large part because their cities had the most to gain from new rapid transit projects if a

proposed 0.5-per-cent sales tax was approved, and it was thought they’d be infl uential in persuading Surrey and Vancouver residents to vote yes.

But the plebiscite was defeated – just 34 per cent supported the tax hike in Surrey and Robertson could not even deliver a win in Vancouver.

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson chal-lenged Hepner for vice-chair in the last Mayors’ Council election, argu-ing then she would have more time than the busy and newly elected Surrey mayor.

Jackson doesn’t rule out letting her name stand again and predicts other challengers may surface.

“I’m sure there will be people wanting to vie for those positions,” she said. “I’ll have to think about it. It’s a big job.”

Jackson said she continues to believe it’s important to have strong representation from south of the

Fraser on the Mayors’ Council.

“We really do have to have some strong people in those positions and they really do have to have the time to devote.”

Metro mayors warned the province after the referendum defeat that they might disband the Mayors’ Council and abdicate their respon-sibility for TransLink unless more governance reforms are soon made to the transportation

authority.A new CEO is being recruited

but there’s so far been no sign of substantive movement from the province to restructure TransLink.

Despite that, Jackson said she believes the mayors must carry on and do what they can to improve TransLink and defend the interests of local residents.

Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, who chairs the Metro Van-couver board, said he doesn’t intend to seek either of the two seats.

“No, I’ve got to keep my focus on Metro Vancouver,” he said.

Robertson could not be reached for comment.

A power surge shut down Expo Line trains for up to two-and-a-quarter hours starting at 6 p.m. Saturday as thousands of Canucks fans were trying to get downtown for a hockey game.

Twelve of the 19 trains that had to be halted to ensure passenger safety were stuck on the tracks between stations and staff had to manually drive them back to the nearest station and re-enter them in the computer system.

Only one person pried open train doors and walked out on the tracks Saturday, according to TransLink spokesperson Anne Drennan.

About half the Expo line from King George to Edmonds was running by 7:15, allowing the buses to redeploy to the Vancouver segment of the line.

Re: Federal election results.Political pundits are saying, “It

was time for change.”Governments pick up baggage in

time, but this is far more. After Ste-phen Harper gained majority status, he started governing for his core group and not for all Canadians.

He ran roughshod over people’s rights with militant zeal under the guise of security. Supreme Court rulings found time and again that his new laws went afoul of the Char-ter of Rights and Freedoms. Yet he kept doing it.

He chipped away at the very democracy he was so fond of telling the terrorists about. Bills such as C-51 have caused uncertainty and fear for honest Canadians.

Th en he used terrorist attacks on

Canadian soil as a justifi cation for measures like in C-51.

He muzzled scientists, gutted protection for lakes and water ways, made Canada the laughing stock on environmental issues, and played havoc with family re-unifi cation.

He took lot of credit for the good economy during the world-wide fi nancial crisis. Th e credit really goes to the Canadian banks for their more prudent lending criteria.

And he blew away the surplus left by previous governments.

Worst of all, he created divisions among Canadians.

Canada is a moderate and tolerant country. Let’s keep it that way.

Re: “Red shift in Surrey-Delta,” Th e Leader Oct. 21.

Looking at the big picture across Canada, it should be noted that

the Tories won a majority in 2011, with 39.62 per cent of the popular vote, while the Liber-als won a majority in the latest election with 39.5 per cent of the popular vote.

It was the collapse of the NDP vote going to the Liberals that resulted in a majority government for Justin Trudeau.

Th e Conservative party lost 2,480 votes in total across Canada and retained 99 seats. Th at is a relatively minor loss when we are talking about millions of votes.

Th e NDP, in contrast, lost over a million votes.

Fred Perry, Surrey

Th ank God Harper has been kicked out.

Now let’s see what the rookie can do.

M. Hajee, Surrey

Th e scandal of the week at the B.C. legislature is what could be termed “delete-gate.”

Primarily, it revolves around 36 pages of government emails that the NDP Opposition has been trying for a year to get under freedom of informa-tion legislation. Th ey relate to a series of meetings between transportation ministry bureaucrats and remote com-munities along Highway 16, between Prince George and Prince Rupert.

If you want all of the accusations about government secrecy and alleged cover-ups, I invite you to read “Access Denied,” the latest report of the In-formation and Privacy Commissioner at www.oipc.bc.ca, and transcripts of question period in the legislature last week.

What you won’t fi nd there is much discussion of the actual problem, which is a shortage of safe and prac-tical transportation options in and out of these communities – most of which are federally funded aboriginal reserves far from the region’s only highway.

What we have seen for decades is a media narrative about one or more serial killers preying on vulnerable women hitch-hiking along what is now known world-wide as the Highway of Tears.

Th e Wikipedia entry for Highway of Tears gives a sense of the creditility of this narrative. It begins with the unsolved murder of Gloria Moody, last seen leaving a bar in Williams Lake in 1969. Th at’s a long way from Highway 16.

Th en there was Monica Jack, killed in 1978. DNA technology resulted in a charge fi nally being laid last year against a known serial rapist. Th is was even further away, near Merritt, and she was a 12-year-old riding her bike.

Other cases involve street prostitu-tion in and around Prince George, an urban hub for a large aboriginal popu-lation similar to Regina and Winnipeg.

Discussion in Victoria focuses on urban notions of increased transit, in places where existing service may be under-used. Nationally, the narrative is that deep-seated social problems

within aboriginal communities would somehow be solved by a lawyer-heavy judicial inquiry that looks only at trag-edies involving women.

If you drive Highway 16 today, you will see fading billboards pleading for information on the disappearance of Madison Scott. She was last seen in the early hours of May 28, 2011, after a grad party in the woods outside Vanderhoof. Her truck and tent were still there. Again, nothing to do with hitch-hiking, but at least it was near Highway 16.

Here’s something else you won’t often hear about the Highway of Tears. Th ere is commercial bus service on Highway 16, although it’s true Greyhound reduced frequency in 2013 as it struggles with low ridership and high costs.

BC Transit also operates bus service to some remote communities such as Kispiox and Gitsegukla, connect-ing them south to Smithers. But BC Transit requires local governments

and riders to cover about half the cost. Indian Act reserves don’t pay.

North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice has noted that what people in remote communities ask for is a way to get back and forth for shopping and medi-cal appointments.

Yes, shopping is an important need, as those who live in remote areas can tell you. And Northern Health already runs a bus service for remote residents who need medical care.

Rice’s observations at least move us toward practical solutions, although most of her eff ort seems directed towards political blame.

I hope the 36 pages of government emails are eventually released, since they were not deleted but rather excluded from release. Th ey may bring the discussion back to the actual public service issue – that is, which realistic transportation options exist for these communities.

A RELATIVELY MINOR LOSS

BETTING ON THE ROOKIE

Re: “Truck park planned near Little Campbell River,” Th e Leader, Sept. 18.

I strongly oppose such a development, especially as it lies in an environmentally sensitive area along salmon streams that are already under stress by development and dramatically increased road run-off in South Surrey. Building appropriate truck parking is risky fi nancially and detrimental environmentally.

I spent several hours reading through a corporate report to the mayor and council for April 2, 2007 detailing the results of a Surrey Sustainable Truck Parking Study. Th e study found that a city-funded large-scale truck parking lot was one of the least favourable ideas proposed.

Of the 12 diff erent options they looked at, the people who did the study were very clear that for the city to build a parking lot for trucks had several major drawbacks:

• Th e environmental impacts of a spill or other pollution-causing incident;

• Potentially unhealthy levels of particulate matter;

• Reducing availability of industrial lands for higher-value uses;

• A defi cit of over $16,500 per month for a 10-acre site (estimates from 2006);

Th e best ideas involved small alterations to zon-ing bylaws to bring them in line with Agricultural

Land Reserve requirements and with neighboring municipalities. Th ese options have several bene-fi ts, including:

• Increased parking options for trucks;• Potentially reduced demand for commercial

lots;• Maintain long-term development potential of

industrial lands;

• Maintain the ALR land base and parks land base;

• Lower particular matter emissions at parking sites;

• Smaller risk of fuel and oil spills.Spreading out the impact of truck parking is

much cheaper for the city and has less of an impact on the environment.

Th e report also said that since trucking is largely a port activity, the ports should help fi nd or develop parking for the large trucks.

Th ough it involves longer and more involved studies, discussions, and research, it might be best to work with the province on this issue. Many truckers in Surrey are actually servicing other parts of the Lower Mainland, putting undue pressure on Surrey to take the fi nancial responsibility for services used in other municipalities.

South Surrey is already sacrifi cing the highest tree canopy percentages in Surrey to high-density development. Unmitigated urbanization is increas-ing road run-off into salmon streams hundreds of times greater than it was 10 years ago.

Developing a truck parking lot right on a sensi-tive salmon stream would certainly reduce water quality to levels unusable by salmon fry.

Also, the proposed site is on post-glacial gravel deposits, which have very little pollution amelio-ration ability – oil and fuel spills would leak right through to the stream.

Please reject this proposal and adopt one of the more budget-friendly and environmentally sound options.

Alisa P. Ramakrishnan, Surrey

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the more than 230,000 Canadians who contributed to the suc-cessful delivery of the 42nd general election.

Once again, Canadi-ans were willing to take time from their busy lives, making personal and professional sacri-fi ces to work long hours to ensure their fellow citizens could exercise their democratic right to vote and receive the election results without delay following the close of the polls. I am overwhelmed by the ex-ceptional professional-ism and dedication our election workers have demonstrated in serv-ing Canadian electors, often in very challeng-ing circumstances.

Some three million more Canadians voted at this federal general election than at the 2011 election, resulting in the highest voter turnout in more than 20 years.

Th ere was a remark-able level of voter activity throughout the election, which in some instances resulted in wait times at both the advance polls and on election day.

Our election work-ers provided the best service possible to their friends and neighbours in commu-nities across our great land – for that is the true strength of our electoral process: Ca-nadians working hard to make it possible for their fellow Canadians to choose the elected offi cials who will repre-sent them in the House of Commons.

Th ere will be time in the coming weeks and months to review our electoral procedures and consider ways they could be modernized for future elections. For now, our dedicat-ed election workers should take great pride in their accomplish-ments and important contributions to our society.

I know that all Canadians join me in thanking them for their excellent work in the service of democ-racy.

Defeated Surrey NDP MPs Jinny Sims (Newton-North Delta) and Jasbir Sandhu (Sur-rey-North), only served one term each, not long enough to qualify for MP pension. Sims will receive $86,650 in severance; Sandhu will get $83,700.

Tory Kerry-Lynne Findlay, who lost her seat in Delta, also served only one term and will receive $123,750 in severance.

“Losing an election can be tough, but most MPs will have a soft fi nancial landing,” said CTF Federal Director Aaron Wudrick. “Th e good news is that thanks to the hard-fought pension reforms that take eff ect on January 1, 2016, taxpayers will not have to shoulder as much of the burden in the future.”

For MPs who retired or were defeated on Oct. 19, taxpayers contributed $17 for every $1 put into the plan by an MP towards their pension.

After Jan. 1, 2016, the ratio will gradually shift to a ratio of $1.60 in taxpayer contributions for ev-ery $1 put in by an MP or senator.

Th e CTF favours a dol-lar-for-dollar matching formula now used in Saskatchewan and Ontario.

Th e CTF has also pointed out that most Canadians working in the private sector have no private pension plan, and those who do, normally have defi ned contribu-tion, RRSP-style plans where they must save.

In the Oct. 23 edition of Th e Surrey-North Delta Leader, in Jim Cessford’s column (“Never tolerate do-mestic violence”), an incorrect phone number was published for the Grand Taj Banquet Hall.

Th e correct number is 604-599-4342.

On Nov. 19, the Network to End Violence in Relationships (NEVR), will be hosting a fundraising dinner at the Grand Taj to raise money for the organization.

NEVR is a group of social and law

enforcement agencies that work with nursing students from Kwantlen Polytechnic University to end violence in relationships.

Th e Nov. 19 event will be hosted by former television personality Pamela Martin, and the evening will include an interactive play and awards ceremony for students who took part in the health Relationships contest through the Surrey and Delta school districts.

Six Surrey residents were taken to hospital early Sunday after a “bizarre” Guildford-area crash ended with two houses sustaining signifi cant damage.

According to police, the collision occurred around 6 a.m. in the intersection of 152 Street and 92 Avenue, between an eastbound black Honda Pilot SUV and a southbound white Chevrolet Cruze sedan.

Th e initial impact sent the Cruze careening into a nearby house.

Th e SUV hit a second house after its driver and passenger exited to wait at the roadside and the ve-hicle started moving unmanned. Police said the SUV backed into a lamp pole, and that impact apparently jarred its transmission into drive, sending it back across the road and into another house.

Exactly why the vehicle started rolling is unclear, however, police said it’s possible the transmission was damaged in the collision, or the driver may have failed to put the SUV in park.

Cpl. Scotty Schumann said on its own, the collision would have been considered relatively minor.

“It would be a non-reportable incident if it wasn’t for the two homes that were struck,” he said.

Th e occupants of both vehicles were taken to hos-pital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Schumann said that cause of the crash remains under investigation, however, alcohol has been ruled out as a factor.

Three-car crash

Mounties investigating a three-vehicle crash in Newton Friday night are appealing for witnesses.

Details are limited, however, police say the collision occurred just before 10 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 23, when a white Jeep traveling westbound in the 14200-block of 72 Avenue struck two vehicles, causing signifi cant damage.

All of the vehicles’ occupants were taken to hospi-tal with non-life-threatening injuries.

Th e old Port Mann Bridge has now been completely dismantled, although two of its con-crete footings have been left in place.

It’s been nearly three years of complex, tech-nical work by engineers and crews to carefully take apart the span since the new 10-lane Port Mann Bridge opened to traffi c in December 2012.

Sections of the bridge were removed piece by piece, in reverse order to how it was fi rst built in 1964. Material was lowered to barges or trucks and removed for recycling, including 18,000 tonnes of struc-tural steel.

Crews fi rst removed the deck, then the girders on the bridge’s approach and the iconic steel arch gradually came down between spring of

2014 and this summer.Most of the concrete

pedestals that formed the foundation of the bridge were taken out so they do not pose a navi-gation hazard for vessel traffi c on the river.

Th e two remaining pedestals – one on the western tip of Tree Island and the other on the south bank of the Fraser River – were left in place to prevent ero-sion and provide habitat for fi sh and wildlife.

Th e Port Mann was originally to be twinned, but the province aban-doned that idea early on in favour of an all-new bridge built to modern earthquake standards.

Despite calls to preserve the old bridge, offi cials said it had to be deconstructed to elim-inate ongoing mainte-nance costs, and because the two spans shared the same approaches.

About 40 per cent of attempted calls to 911 rang busy during the major wind storm that walloped the Lower Mainland on Aug. 29.

E-Comm spokesper-son Jody Robertson said

the emergency commu-nications centre had fi ve times as many staff on as usual that Saturday afternoon but the 30 call takers were over-whelmed by the heavy volume of 911 calls, many for non-emergen-cies, including queries

about power outages.With the winter

storm season now approaching, E-Comm and its partner response agencies are continuing to review the summer incident to determine what, if anything, could be done to improve 911 performance.

“Are there any potential technical or operational changes that might help to mitigate the impacts of mass calling events? Th at’s actively being looked at right now,” Robertson said.

At the peak of the summer storm, E-Comm handled 600 calls in one hour that actually got through, up from a normal 100.

“Th is was the biggest one time-surge in 911 call volume we’ve ever experienced,” Robertson said.

She said she’s not aware of any true emergencies that were worsened because of any delays in response due

to the jammed lines.E-Comm knew many

911 callers weren’t getting through and took to social media to urge residents not to call unless they had a true emergency.

But numerous calls still fl ooded in to report power outages, ask when service would be restored or report downed trees.

“Our experience is any time there’s a power out-age, even if it’s a small one, we get these calls,” Robertson said.

In California, 911 misuse draws a warning followed by potential fi nes that escalate from $50 to $250.

But E-Comm staff here make no record of which calls were inappropriate, so there’s no capability to fl ag frivolous callers for follow-up education or enforcement.

NDP justice critic Mike Farnworth said he’d like to see habitual violators at least tracked and sent

educational informa-tion, and research done on potential enforce-ment best practices from other jurisdictions.

Heavy call volumes during a major incident can further bog down E-Comm staff because of the protocol they must follow.

Th at’s because a 911 caller who doesn’t immediately reach a call taker gets a recording instructing them to stay on the line.

Some of them may get frustrated with the wait and hang up, Robertson said, but their phone

numbers stay in the queue and the next available operator must then call back to ensure each dropped caller is okay and not incapaci-tated or threatened.

“Th at further creates backlog,” Robertson said. “It’s really import-ant that people don’t hang up.”

She was unable to say how much eff ect that had on Aug. 29, or how many on-hold calls were dropped in addition to the 40 per cent of calls that got busy signals and didn’t connect at all.

Telus deployed diesel back-up generators or batteries to keep its phone systems oper-ational, spokesman Shawn Hall said, adding that wasn’t a factor aff ecting 911 access.

He said public educa-tion is key.

“Th ere’s no 911 system in the world that can take thousands of calls all at one time and answer them.”

Minister of State for Emergency Prepared-ness Naomi Yamamoto said the wind storm was a “good wakeup call” and the 40 per cent call failure rate that day was “not acceptable.”

Washington state police are dealing with more drivers impaired by marijuana since its recre-ational use was legalized last year, and B.C. is preparing for similar problems as a new federal government prepares to follow suit.

Chief John Batiste of the Washington State Patrol visited Victoria this week to take part in an annual cross-border crime forum. He acknowl-edged that it’s a problem since the state legalized marijuana sales to adults in 2014.

“We are seeing an uptick in incidents on our roadways related to folks driving under the infl u-ence of marijuana and drugs in general,” Batiste told reporters after a meeting with B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton.

He explained the state’s new law setting a limit for marijuana’s active ingredient in blood, similar to the blood-alcohol limit. But without a roadside testing device, police are relying on training from the State Patrol’s drug recognition expert to make

arrests.What they need now

is a roadside testing device that provides evidence of impair-ment that will hold up in court, Batiste said.

Prime Minister-des-ignate Justin Trudeau made a high-profi le promise to legalize marijuana before win-ning a majority govern-ment Oct. 19.

In B.C., police can charge drivers if they show signs of impairment, whether from drugs or fatigue. In alcohol use cases, drivers are typically charged with impaired driving and driving with a blood alcohol content of more than .08 per cent.

Vancouver-based Cannabix Technologies is developing such a device. Th e company issued a statement Wednesday, noting that Trudeau has promised to begin work on legalizing marijuana “right away” and a reliable method of enforce-ment is needed across North America.

Th e company says it is developing a hand-held device that can detect marijuana use within the past two hours. Saliva and urine tests can come up positive for marijuana “long after intoxication has worn off ,” the company stated.

JEFF NAGEL

Some Metro Vancou-ver directors want an independent review of the safety of the biosol-ids the regional district sends away to fertilize Interior agricultural land.

“I think it’s an important question,” said Delta Mayor Lois Jackson.

She said she’s not sure whether to believe claims of opponents or advocates, but is uneasy enough to press for some sort of inves-tigation.

“Th e chemicals that are being fl ushed include antibiotics and pills. I’m very con-cerned about putting these things on our crops.”

Biosolid opponents in the Nicola Valley fear their groundwater

wells could become contaminated by met-als and other chemicals present in sewage if the practice of spread-ing the material there continues.

Libby Dybikowski, a Merritt resident, argued in a letter to Metro directors that they should adopt the precautionary princi-ple and cease biosolid shipments inland.

Plenty of chemi-cals get improperly dumped down sewers, Dybikowski noted, including dangerous acids from illegal drug labs, and she said there is “grave concern” bio-solids are transporting those contaminants to inland watersheds.

Food processors in-cluding Dairyland and Saputo refuse to accept milk from cows fed hay grown where biosolids were spread, Dybikow-ski said.

Biosolids sent by Metro Vancouver for use on agricultural land must meet a Class A provincial standard ensuring the mate-rial is treated to kill

dangerous bacteria and that tested chemicals are below permitted levels.

Metro utilities com-mittee chair Darrell Mussatto defended the use on farmland of the region’s biosolids as a benefi cial use of a nutrient-rich earth-like organic material.

He said Metro’s biosolids are not to be confused with the material deposited in the Nicola Valley, triggering protests and blockades earlier this year. Th at lower grade material came from the Okanagan.

The province in June ordered a sci-entific review of the use of biosolids in the Nicola Valley.

Mussatto said Metro is supporting a call by Interior municipal leaders to bolster reg-ulation of biosolid use and Jackson said the regional district could adopt its own higher standard, regardless of what happens at the provincial level.

University of Wash-ington soil scientist Sally Brown said fears about contamination of food are unfound-ed.

“It’s a perception concern that has no basis in reality,” Brown said, calling it a “fabulous” way to recycle nutrients that otherwise damage habitat in rivers and oceans.

“Biosolids are really good for plants, really good for the soil,” she said, adding they are the most researched and tested soil amendment – getting far more scrutiny than livestock ma-nure.

Brown said she believes fear about biosolids largely boils down to the fact “people are scared of their poo.”

As a result, she said, local governments should take pride in their biosolids pro-grams are keeping a low profile, or consid-ering other uses.

“Metro Van has been a responsible player for a long time,” she added.

But Brown said the regional district’s proposed switch to drying biosolids as a fuel for cement producers would be “wasting” the re-source.

She said biosol-ids help sequester carbon in the soil and avoid emissions from production of synthetic fertilizers, adding those benefits outweigh the carbon offsets Metro expects by burning biosolids as fuel instead of coal.

As for processors that won’t take food grown on biosolid-en-hanced land, Brown dismisses the choice as corporate public relations.

“It’s a marketing call with no basis in science.”

Homelessness& Housing

Devinder, who moved from India with his family at a young age, was a talented soccer player. By 19, he was captain of the team at Douglas College.

But he had also started experimenting with drugs, and by the time his mother was diagnosed with leukemia, he had a full blown addiction. One night, he came home to his driveway filled with cars. His mother had passed away asking, “Where’s my middle son? Where’s Devinder?”

Wracked with guilt and shame, he ended up living on the streets. After 13 years, he ran into an old friend who said, “Hey Devinder, I used to look up to you.” It made him think that there must be a better way to live.

Devinder is currently in a recovery program at Trilogy House. “I’m just grateful for the opportunity to be a better person.”

BLACK PRESS

Renée Sarojini Saklikar has been selected as the fi rst-ev-er Poet Laureate for Surrey.

Saklikar is the author of Children of Air In-dia, Un/authorized Exhibits and Interjections, which won the Canadian Authors Award for best book of Canadian poetry to be published in English. It was also a fi nalist for the B.C. Book prize Dorothy Livesay award.

In addition, Saklikar co-edited the anthology Th e Revolving City: 51 Poems and the Stories Behind Th em, an anthology that includes poetry performed during Lunch Poems at SFU, a poetry reading series that Saklikar helped establish.

“A strong foundation of arts and culture is the hallmark of a thriving city,” said Mayor Linda Hepner. “As Surrey’s fi rst Poet Laureate, Renée Sarojini Saklikar will creatively engage and connect with our community and will be a strong advocate for literacy and the literary arts.”

Saklikar is one of three National Advocates for Th e Writer’s Union of Canada and a mem-ber of the League of Canadian Poets. Her poetry investi-gates, celebrates, and memorializes the poetry of place, particularly those stories integral to arrival, departure, settlement and diaspora.

In her role as Poet Laureate, she will work to create a leg-acy program of poetry-outreach that is multilingual and inter-cultural, in partnership with organizations in Surrey. She is interested in furthering grass-roots connections with youth, senior, and community groups.

“We’re excited to welcome Renée as the Poet Laureate for Surrey,” said Meghan Savage, Information Services Librarian at Surrey Libraries and Poet Laureate Project Coordinator. “Renée demonstrates a strong passion and enthusiasm for connecting the people of Surrey through poetry.”

The City of Surrey, Surrey Libraries, Cultural Devel-opment Advisory Committee, Surrey Arts Services, Surrey International Writers’ Conference, Arts Council of Surrey, Creative Writing at Simon Fraser University, Semi-ahmoo Arts, Surrey Muse, and Kwantlen Polytechnic University helped establish the Poet Laureate project and select the new Poet Laureate, which is a two-year honou-rary position.

Saklikar will host writing consultations on the second Friday of each month. She is off ering a free consultation on your poetry or prose. Writers are welcome to submit a maximum of 10 double-spaced pages. Regis-tration is required at least one week prior to the consult date.

Saklikar will read the manuscript before each 45-minute meeting. At the meeting, she may provide suggestions about editing, how to publish your work and how to work with editors and publishers.

Consultations will take place at City Centre Library Nov. 13 and Dec. 11 and at Semiahmoo Arts Centre Jan. 8, Feb. 12 and March, 11, 2016.

Former Van-couver Canucks player and current Community Living BC (CLBC) board member David Babych dropped the puck to launch the sixth-annual Surrey fl oor hock-ey tournament for adults with developmental disabilities at the Guildford Recre-ational Centre on Oct. 21.

Th e event, sponsored by the City of Surrey, the Fraser Health Authority and CLBC, involved four teams: Th e Guildford Gladiators, the Becon Trailblazers from Victoria (sup-ported by BeConnected Support Services), the Chilliwack Knights (supported by Chilliwack Society for Commu-nity Living) and the Surrey Sharks (sponsored by Fraser Health Authority).

Th e tournament has really taken off ,” said organizer and CLBC employee Charles Partridge. “Th e athletes work hard all year and the tournament is such a rewarding experience that showcases all that hard work.”

Guildford Community Partners Society (GCPS) is closing down after working to improve the Guildford community for more than two decades.

Members of the closing board would like to thank the dedicated volunteers who have helped over the years, including founder John Dodd, Rob Terris, David Knight, Peter Maarsman and Jean Munday.

Th e society was formed in 1994 when Surrey Social Futures approached residents about ways to improve their community.

Dodd, who passed away in 2012, took the reins, and with the results of a public forum he organized in 1996, submitted a proposal to Surrey Parks, Recreation and Culture to build the Guildford Recreation Centre.

Among the GCPS’s accomplishments:• In 1999, the group lobbied

the city to develop a track at North Surrey Secondary School.

• It raised $240,000 towards furnishings and equipment for the Guildford Recreation Centre and it’s youth programs.

• In 2003, it donated $5,000 to the Guildford Public Library for a computer lab.

• It made a successful case to the city to not close down Holly Pool.

• Th e GCPS donated $6,500 to the Surrey Canadian Baseball Association towards a batting cage at Lionel Courchene Park.

• In 2005, in donated $2,700 to the RCMP for the Police

Youth Academy Program.• It hosted all-candidates meetings at the Guildford

Recreation Centre.• It donated $15,000 to the Nights Alive program for

youth.In 2002 and later, President Betty McClurg and her

successor President Rob Terris worked on a plan to build an Olympic-sized pool at the Guildford Recreation Centre. Although the facility wasn’t as big as they wanted, the community did get its pool this year.

NICK GREENIZAN

Th ere was no short-age of off ence in Surrey Eagles games last weekend, but unfor-tunately for the Birds, most of it was provided by the opposition.

Th e Eagles lost all three games over a three-night stretch last week – including a pair on the road against the fi rst-place Wenatchee Wild – and were outscored 19-5 in the process.

Surrey now sits last in the BC Hockey League’s Mainland Di-vision, with a win-loss record of 4-12. Earlier last week, on Tuesday, Oct. 20, the Eagles managed to stop a two-game losing streak with a victory over the division rival Langley

Rivermen.On Friday at South

Surrey Arena, the Eagles couldn’t muster a goal against the Chil-liwack Chiefs, despite fi ring 24 shots on goal in the opening two pe-riods, and 29 overall.

“We had our chances, but we ran into a hot goalie, and couldn’t bury those chances,” said Eagles head coach Blaine Neufeld.

Th e Chiefs were led by Cloverdale native Darien Craighead, who opened the scoring in the fi rst period, and also added an assist on a second-period goal from Dennis Cholowski.

After the home-ice defeat, the Eagles packed up and headed south to Wenatchee, Wash. to battle the Wild, who, despite being in their fi rst season in the BCHL, have quickly proven to be one of the circuit’s premier teams.

Each team’s off ence was in top form Sat-

urday, as the squads combined for 12 goals in a 7-5 Wild win.

Unlike a day earlier, Surrey wasted little time getting on the score-board Saturday, as Owen Johnson gave the visitors a 1-0 lead just 58 seconds into the game. However, Wenatchee tied the game just 12 seconds later, and led 3-2 after 20 minutes. Eagles’ captain Kyle Star also scored in the open-ing period.

Th e Eagles began the second period quickly, too, as Darius David-son tied the game 3-3 with a shorthanded marker just 18 seconds after puck drop, and he scored against 10 min-utes later. Wenatchee scored three in the pe-riod, including back-to-back power-play tallies, and led 6-4 heading into the third.

In the fi nal frame, Surrey made it 6-5 on a John Wesley pow-er-play goal, and the team pressed for the equalizer in the game’s

waning minutes, until Wild’s Troy Conzo scored an empty-netter with 18 seconds left.

“Th at’s a game we should’ve won. It was close all the way through,” Neufeld said.

Sunday night’s tilt was not as evenly played, however, as the Wild exploded for six goals in the opening 30 minutes of play, en route to an 8-0 waxing of the Birds.

Th ough the score was far from fl atter-ing, Neufeld chalked up the result to his team playing tired and undermanned.

Th e team was without a handful of regulars, especially on the blue line and in net, where Justin LaForest continues to be sidelined, leaving second-year netminder Daniel Davidson to carry the load.

“We had to ask a lot of some of our young players, putting them in situations they

▶ TEAM BUMPED TO BOTTOM SPOT IN LOWER MAINLAND DIVISION

Eagles lose three in a row

normally wouldn’t be in, and that’s awfully tough when you’re playing your third game in three nights,” Neufeld explained.

LaForest isn’t ex-pected back until early December.

Th e weekend’s barrage of goals-against did little to improve the Eagles’ overall goal diff erential for the season. Th e team – which was last in that category last year – has

given up 36 more goals than they’ve scored this season, which is the worst mark in the BCHL.

Again, Neufeld chalked up the number to the recent spat of injuries, and expected it to normalize as his team moved forward.

“Th at wasn’t our hockey team on the weekend. Th at’s not our group, that’s not how we play,” he said.

“We’ve been competi-tive all year, and every team is going to have a game or two like that. We just got ours out of the way.”

Th e Eagles will look to win their fi fth game of the season Friday, when they head to Chilliwack to battle the Chiefs. On Sunday, they’ll head to the Langley Events Centre for a 3 p.m. game against the Rivermen.

Sixteen senior girls high school volleyball teams were in North Delta earlier this month to compete at

the Pink Ribbon for Camille tournament hosted by Seaquam Secondary.

Th e tournament was in honour of Camille Gregory, a Seaquam graduate and a volleyball player on the school team who passed away from can-cer in 2012.

“Camille was a triple threat – smart, social, and athletic,” said Sea-

quam volleyball coach and tournament orga-nizer Todd Clarke. “She was brilliant, but more importantly, she was a kind, caring person.”

Gregory was diag-nosed with cancer in 2009, but was able to maintain straight A’s at the University of British Columbia (UBC), complete a co-op position with Bayer Pharma, cycle through

Europe and make her way to London to cheer on Team Canada during the 2012 Sum-mer Olympic Games.

She was accom-plished in athletics and academics, earning a degree in Honours

Chemistry from UBC just days before she passed away.

Th e 16-team tourna-ment featured several of B.C.’s top senior girls volleyball teams. Senior 4A schools competing included fourth-ranked Oak Bay of Victoria, which won the tournament, sixth-ranked South Delta Sun Devils and eighth-ranked Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers.

Other highly ranked teams were the num-ber-one Sa-Hali Sabres (3A) of Kamloops and the third-ranked White

Rock Christian Acade-my Warriors (1A).

Games were played

Friday and Saturday at Seaquam and North Delta Secondaries.

Spectators were asked to donate a $2 admission, with all money collected do-nated to the B.C. Can-cer Society in Gregory’s name.

Her parents, Julie and Nick Gregory, were in attendance at the tournament, hoping participants were “inspired by Camille’s spirit, as a person who never let anything stand in her way of being her best.”

Th e Vancouver Giants celebrated the return of captain Tyler Ben-son last weekend, but didn’t mark the occa-sion with any victories, as the Western Hockey League club dropped a pair of games on home ice.

On Friday, the Giants fell 3-1 to the visiting Seattle Th underbirds, and two days later, on Sunday, lost to the Prince George Cougars by the same score.

Th e Giants have now lost three straight games, and sit with a 4-6-1-1 record (win-loss-overtime

loss-shootout loss) in the WHL’s Western Conference.

Benson – who was making his debut after missing the start of the season due to injury – scored in his fi rst game Friday, but it was all the Giants were able to mus-ter off en-sively.

After a scoreless fi rst period, Seattle opened the scoring early in the second frame, when Alexander True gave the visitors a 1-0 lead. Matthew Barzal extended the lead to 2-0 with a pow-er-play goal later in the period.

Benson’s goal came with just four minutes left in the third period,

after he banked the puck from beside the net off Th underbirds’ goalie Taz Burman. But the 2-1 score didn’t last, as Seattle restored its two-goal lead sec-onds later with a goal from Keegan Kolesar.

In honour of the Toronto Blue

Jay’s just-ended playoff

run, the Giants celebrated anoth-

er Jays’ milestone Sunday with Joe

Carter Day – marking the anniversary of the retired slugger’s World Series-winning home run in 1993. Carter was in attendance at the Pacifi c Coliseum for Vancouver’s 3-1 loss to Prince George.

Ty Ronning scored the Giant’s lone goal – his eighth tally of the season – but the

Giants couldn’t man-age another goal past Prince George goalie Ty Edmunds, despite out-shooting the Cougars 41-32.

Payton Lee was tagged with the loss for the Giants, stopping 30 shots.

The Giants are back in action tonight (Wednesday) when they host the Leth-bridge Hurricanes. Puck drop is 7 p.m. Children under 12 who come to the game in a Halloween costume will get in for free. For tickets, call 604-4-GIANTS or visit www.vancouver-giants.com

On Friday, the Gi-ants travel to Wash-ington to take on the Tri-City Americans, before the two teams return to Vancouver for a rematch Sunday, Nov. 1
