Tunnel rebuild, bus cuts a tale of 2 priorities

41% of hungry are babies and kids as Christmas giving campaign kicks off

Youth food bank use drops across B.C. – except in Surrey

Province begins meetings on new Highway 99 crossing by Jeff Nagel WHILE TRANSLINK asks the public

by Kevin Diakiw CARRYING A seven-day-old baby, a 19-year-old walked into the

Surrey Food Bank on Wednesday. She’s living on a monthly government subsidy of $500 for rent and another $283 for everything else she needs. Her mom, who was at her side, says she does what she can, but has limited income herself. The new mother said without the food bank, she didn’t know what she would do. Marilyn Herrmann, executive director for the Surrey Food Bank, says sadly, the young mom isn’t unique. The facility at 10732 City Parkway in Surrey served 153,000 hungry people last year. “Forty-one per cent of our clients are children and babies,” Herrmann said. “We see 250 babies every week.” Herrmann Provincially, the statistics for kids attending food banks looks hopeful. Recent figures show the number of young people relying on food banks dropped from 40 per cent to 28.3 per cent over the last year. However, in Surrey, the figure has remained at 41 per cent, partly because of the growing youthful population. The food bank has made the decision that moms receive milk and eggs. If they’re nursing, they also get a weekly hamper (typical food bank clients are eligible for a hamper once every two weeks). “And baby gets full nutrition for the week,” Herrmann said.

about its plan to selectively cut bus service on some routes, the province is launching its own consultations – on the premier’s recent promise to replace the George Massey Tunnel. Transportation ministry officials will seek public comment on a new Highway 99 crossing of the Fraser River at five open houses in early December in Richmond, Delta and Surrey. The existing tunnel has 10 to 15 years of useful life left before major components must be completely replaced, Transportation Minister Polak Mary Polak said. And since it takes about a decade to plan and build such a project, preliminary work must start now. “One thing is very clear to us – the status quo is not an option,” Polak said. A short list of potential replacement options is to be drawn up ahead of more public meetings in the new year.

Sullivan students thrilled as salmon return

Markita Kaulius, whose daughter Kassandra was killed by a drunk driver last year, talks with Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts during a demonstration by Families for Justice on Nov. 24 at the Surrey Courthouse. More than 1,000 pairs of shoes demonstrated the number of people killed in Canada by drunk drivers last year.

Fish have come back after creek diversion

by Jeff Nagel

BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER

NoboDy at Sullivan Heights

Secondary School can remember it happening before: bright red coho salmon – adult seven-pounders – spawning right behind the school in rain-swollen Sullivan Creek. “It’s truly awesome,” principal Rex Hayes said. “The kids are really excited about this.” Hayes almost didn’t believe it himself when teacher Jeff Vaughan spotted the fish in the creek, which is a tributary of the Serpentine River. “We walk back there and lo and behold, there it is – a seven or eight pound salmon, bright red.” Call it the little creek that could. Sullivan Creek – a stream small enough to step over – once ran underneath where the school now sits. Carrie Baron, Surrey’s drainage and environment manager, said the creek was diverted when the school was built about a decade ago. Rock and woody debris was carefully placed to make it more welcoming riparian habitat for salmonids, as the creek supports both coho and chum salmon. Baron had assumed the fish were doing well, but said Sullivan Heights Secondary’s report is the first visual confirmation she’s heard of it. Classes practically ground to a halt as students headed out Friday afternoon to watch several salmon wriggle up and downstream. “I’ve never actually seen [salmon spawning] before,” vice-principal Bal Ranu said. “It’s the coolest thing to see.”

‘Make arrangements’ before imbibing, victim’s dad urges Ahead of holiday season, Surrey family raises awareness of drinking and driving by Kevin Diakiw

“The police are doing their thing... the courts are not doing their part.”

More thaN a thousand pair of shoes lined the Surrey courthouse steps Saturday as part of an awareness campaign to eliminate drinking driving. Markita Kaulius and Families for Justice placed 1,074 pairs of shoes on the courthouse steps on Nov. 22 to draw attention to the number of people killed by drunk drivers in Canada last year. Markita’s daughter Kassandra was killed in May, 2011 when her car was hit by a drunk driver Victor Kaulius at 64 Avenue and 152 Street. The demonstration comes only days after figures were released by the province showing a dramatic drop in drunkdriving fatalities since the start of immediate roadside suspensions (IRP) in September, 2010 (see story below). The province estimates 104 lives have been saved since the IRP system took effect. That’s based on a drop from an average of 114 impaired fatalities prior to the new rules to 66 in the first full year of the IRP program

and 58 in the second year. Kassandra’s father Victor said Thursday he’s extremely pleased with the dramatic drop in drunk driving deaths, adding it exceeds most people’s expectations of the program. “That’s great, we’re happy with that,” said Victor Kaulius. “But it’s still not perfect.” The “missing link” Kaulius said is getting the courts to mete out meaningful sentences for people who choose to drink and drive. “Especially the impaired that are killing people out there, there’s no accountability still,” Kaulius said. “The police are doing their thing, but the courts are not doing their part.” He said the awareness campaign is also timed to remind people heading into the Christmas season that if they plan to drink, also plan to have a ride home. “Really the bottom line is don’t drink and drive,” Kaulius said. “Make arrangements.”

Drunk driving deaths down for second year Province credits its policy of tougher roadside penalties by Jeff Nagel JEFF NAGEL / BLACK PRESS

Jake ballance and griffin Knight, both grade 12 students at Sullivan heights Secondary, were among the teens who flocked to Sullivan Creek on Friday to watch spawning salmon.

b.C.’S tougheNeD roadside penalties on drinking drivers are being credited for cutting alcohol-related crash deaths for a second straight year. The province estimates 104 lives have been saved since the immediate roadside prohibition (IRP) system took effect in September 2010. That’s based on a drop from an average of 114 impaired fatalities prior to the new rules to 66

in the first full year of the IRP program and 58 in the second year. Provincial government officials say the initiative has drastically changed British Columbian attitudes to drinking and getting behind the wheel. “As you drive home late at night, the car coming toward you is far less likely to be piloted by an impaired driver than at any time in recent years,” Justice Minister Shirley Bond said. She said B.C. is so far averaging a 46 per cent drop in drunk driving fatalities – better than a target of 35 per cent set in 2010 in honour of impaired driving victim Alexa Middelaer. The roadside penalties can result in licence suspensions, vehicle impoundments and can cost drivers $600 to $4,000 in administrative penalties and remedial program costs.

The new approach has also meant a major shift away from criminal prosecution of suspected impaired drivers, which consumes much police investigation and court time. A June survey of drivers in five communities (Vancouver, Abbotsford, Kelowna, Prince George and Saanich) found the lowest levels of drinking and driving ever recorded in a series of similar surveys dating back to 1995. Nearly 60 per cent fewer drivers who agreed to be tested for the survey were at or over the 0.08 criminal blood-alcohol level than in past years, and there was a 44 per cent drop in those who tested in the warn range above 0.05. Drivers aged 25 to 54 were most likely to say their behaviour has changed due to the new sanctions and those under 25 were most likely to say they never drink and drive.

Man fatally stabbed Suspect arrested; charges yet to be laid

by Kevin Diakiw A mAn was fatally

stabbed on the weekend and another man has been taken into custody. On Sunday at about 5:45 p.m., Surrey Mounties were called to 128

Street and 95 Avenue. When emergency crews arrived, they found 35-year-old Jeremy McLellan suffering from stab wounds. He was taken to hospital where he died. McLellan had previous

history with the courts, including assault with a weapon in Vancouver. A 54-year-old man was arrested at the scene and remains in custody. He has not been charged. The investigation continues.

Meetings: In Delta, Surrey From page 1

It’s not yet clear if the new span would be a bridge or a tunnel – or whether it will be tolled. Meetings are set for Dec. 1 in Delta, Dec. 4 and 11 in Richmond, Dec. 6 in Cloverdale and Dec. 10 in South Surrey. For times and locations see www. masseytunnel.ca and click on consultation. TransLink, meanwhile, is consulting on its plans to further “optimize” service by cutting frequency at some times on some routes in order to boost it on others, where it believes it can serve more riders and pull in more revenue. There will be winners and losers, depending on where and when passengers travel, and routes across the region are affected. See www.translink.ca/serviceop for more details and a list of meetings, which wrap up Dec. 12 in Burnaby. Transit advocates, who see the two decisions as clashing transportation priorities, say it’s ironic TransLink riders

in some areas will soon see less service while planning begins for a costly new bridge or tunnel mega-project on Highway 99. Gordon Price, director of SFU’s City Program, questions the underlying logic. He says road and bridge projects are routinely justified by politicians on the basis they save motorists time and therefore money by relieving congestion. Yet the same calculation isn’t applied to transit service cuts that leave passengers waiting longer, arguably costing them and the economy money. “Time is treated completely differently,” he said, adding transit delays should also be counted as a cost, and not just as a way of saving money. Peter Ladner, part of the Get On Board coalition for transit funding, also calls it a funding double standard that puts road work ahead of transit. “Where’s the consultation on sustainable funding for transit?” he asked. “Surely that has to come first.”

Dear Rouge takes top prize in music contest

Pop-rock duo drew and danielle McTaggart of dear rouge perform at the Surrey Christmas tree-lighting festival on Saturday. dear rouge won the 2012 Peak Performance Project music competition Thursday night.

Husband-and-wife team win $100,000 in radio station’s Peak Performance Project

BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER

Black Press Andrew (“drew”) and Danielle McTaggart – the

married couple that make up the pop-rock band Dear Rouge – were feeling just a little flush Friday morning. Dear Rouge won FM102.7’s Peak Performance Project contest Thursday night, beating out hundreds of other bands and taking home the whopping $100,000 top prize. But it wasn’t just the cash that got Drew McTaggart excited. “It was my childhood dream to play the Commodore,” he said Friday morning, still jazzed about the performance. Dear Rouge was the headline act at the iconic Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver Nov. 22, during the finale for the music competition, which was hosted by radio station The Peak 102.7 FM and Music B.C. Impressively, it was only the sixth time the band had played a live show together as Dear Rouge. Vancouver singer-songwriters Jordan Klassen and Dominique Fricot won second and third places and cash awards of $75,000 and $50,000 respectively. The husband-and-wife duo Dear Rouge, backed up by musicians Adam Stewart (keyboard, guitar), Maclean Carlson (drums), and Ryan Worsley (bass), have collaborated for just a few years after previously working on their own personal and independent music projects. (The band’s name comes from Danielle’s hometown, Red Deer, Alta.). They had to fine-tune a unique sound for Dear Rouge, a major musical diversion from Drew’s “old” (but concurrent) band (some of whose members are Dear Rouge musicians), as well as his own acoustic/ folksy personal style and Danielle’s pop background. In a one-two punch this year, they released two short EPs, Heads Up! Watch Out! in April, and then Kids Wanna Know in October. Drew says winning the Peak Performance Project is a game-changer. “2013 is going to be a huge year,” he predicts, with Dear Rouge heading back to the studio and out on the road for more exposure. With a solid Metro Vancouver following on the horizon, the next markets to tackle include Toronto and Montreal. “I really want to make a pop song that’s creative,” said Drew, citing David Bowie and The Beatles as examples. For now, the two musicians aren’t quitting their day jobs. Drew is a marketing and advertising consultant at The Surrey-North Delta Leader, and Danielle is a public relations manager at Cactus Club in South Surrey. And they’ll continue to donate 10 per cent of all music sales to the Centre for Child Development in Surrey, which supports children with developmental disabilities and their families. Dear Rouge has also recorded Noah’s Song for Noah Jacobson, a South Surrey boy who has autism. All proceeds from online sales go to his therapy. The song can be purchased at http://dearrouge.bandcamp.com/ track/noahs-song Drew says giving back is “a foundation of who we are as people.” For more information about the band, visit http:// dearrouge.com/

SURREY CASINO

Is it easy money?

RAESIDE

hatever one feels about the Gateway casino-hotel-entertainment centre proposed for South Surrey – and whichever way our civic council’s vote goes – the project’s impact has already been felt. Sadly for those who want time to stand still, the Semiahmoo Peninsula is on the threshold of inevitable change, and it’s evident there are deep divisions that this project is bringing into focus. Those divisions will become more marked, as South Surrey struggles to determine its destiny through development. There are many opposed to a casino – no doubt the driving element of this proposition – on principle. They do not feel it is right, either ethically or morally, and some will cite firsthand experience with the true costs of gambling addiction. Others are not so opposed to a casino on moral grounds – they just don’t want one, or the social challenges they perceive will accompany it, in their own backyard. Others see the social effects as minimal, mitigated by the benefits of a big business and its customers in close proximity to their own businesses. They feel, a convention/entertainment centre will bring valuable tourist dollars to the community at large. No doubt the biggest bargaining chip for the casino is the $6-million revenue the BC Lottery Corporation estimates it will bring the City of Surrey annually. A row of extra zeroes has a way of making any budget look rosier. Councillors, it seems, have a ready-made rationale for approving the suggested site – they all-but approved a similar development there once before, and the hotel/ commercial land use has been identified in the Highway 99 Corridor Local Area Plan since February 2004. While some may see no need for another casino, that’s not the case with the BCLC, which provides statistics to prove this community is underserved in terms of gaming entertainment. And BCLC’s confident stance is bolstered by the fact it is a leading provider of what the B.C. government needs: money. The bottom line is that the BCLC handed over some $1.1 billion to the province in the year 2011-2012. Even allowing for the 20 per cent turned back to charities and host communities, that’s still a chunk of cash for general revenue. Perhaps the biggest gaming addict local casino opponents have to fear is the B.C. government itself. – Black Press

government, and she, too, stuck to a familiar script. The best path out of poverty is a job, she said. This is true, but also obvious. Then Cadieux went on about the “B.C. Jobs Plan,” which has its own sorry record of misrepresented federal statistics. Here’s one of the report’s more blindingly obvious section headings: “Child poverty concentrated in big cities.” No kidding. The whole population is concentrated in big cities. Herein lies a clue that is missed by “activists” for ever-larger government. Poor people are increasingly crowded into the most expensive places. If I’m on welfare or working in a low-wage job and receiving a provincial rent subsidy (one of those things LICO doesn’t measure), should I live in downtown Victoria or Vancouver? Shouldn’t I relocate to a smaller community where housing is cheaper? There are lots of complications to this, but some kind of incentive to relocate could help big and small communities.

Advice for Santas: It truly is the thought that counts

The gifT-giving season is upon us, and let

us remember this well-used cliche while we are dashing around the malls trying to find that perfect something for family or friends: “It’s the thought that counts.” I prefer to give, rather than receive. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m all for the receiving end too, in fact, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t. But it’s the giving part that is more important to me. I really enjoy it and it feels good…it really does. When I think of that little cliche, I note the key word: thought. And I try to put

some of that into each purchase I make, big or small. For me, it’s not about money. It can cost little and mean a lot. Or it can cost a bundle and be totally useless. I mean, why would you give someone a set of wine glasses when he or she doesn’t drink? Or give a red sweater to someone who hates red? Or a Barbie doll to your little niece who is a tomboy? Know the person, and choose wisely. And if you really aren’t sure, choose “useful.” There is one exception to the rule how-

ever: The good old office party, or Secret Santa gift exchange. In that case, it’s safe to say that pretty much anything goes and no one really cares. It’s all in good fun. At this busy time of year we often feel rushed to “get it all done” and as it comes down to the crunch, the human instinct is to just grab anything and get it wrapped ASAP. And if it’s on the clearance table, it’s even better. After all, it’s the thought that counts. Or so it seems. Let’s just take some time this season to really think things through.

New Port Mann Bridge won’t solve gridlock i am a resident in Fraser Heights and have observed the

traffic problems caused by congestion at the Port Mann Bridge for nine years. For over a decade now, there have been major back-ups on both sides of the bridge. The situation has deteriorated significantly in the past two or three years; back-ups are continuous, persisting for over 16 hours a day. It takes between 16 and 20 minutes to travel 5.8 kilometres from 160 Street to the north/west side of the bridge. During peak periods, traffic backs up to 176, 192 and even 200 Streets. Frustrated drivers exit the highway at 176 Street and re-enter the queue at 160 Street, eventually clogging all exit-ways out of Fraser Heights and preventing local residents from leaving the community. If there is an accident or some other incident (i.e. cones mistakenly left behind), all traffic comes to an absolute standstill. As I’ve observed this growing problem over the past

Ask yourself this when buying something for someone: Would I want it? Will they use it? Will they like it? Will it be first in line for their spring yard sale? It’s really quite simple. Of course, there are always those who will say “you cant please everyone,” and that is very true, but we can almost be sure to please most just by using a little thought. Merry Christmas everyone!

nine years, I am unconvinced that the bridge-widening effort is enough to redress this major traffic crisis. This is something that should have been completed over 15 years ago. Moreover, there are complicating design issues that I believe the public is not aware of. For example: 1). The 152 Street on-ramp traffic will cause crippling congestion immediately before the bridge, as there are two busy and full lanes of traffic that are required to merge; 2). Three non-HOV lanes compress down to two lanes, again, right before the bridge; 3). On the Coquitlam side, congestion is already evident with traffic pouring off the Cape Horn interchange onto Highway 1 eastbound immediately before the bridge (no change from before). The public needs to be aware that there is only one additional lane (HOV) in the westbound stretch of high-

way leading up to the bridge. This is a very significant bottleneck that is going to completely negate any benefit of the widened bridge. Are additional lanes planned? How can one HOV lane accommodate the current traffic demand? Tolls on this bridge are going to be very difficult to stomach. If one considers that the back-ups may not be appreciably reduced, then we will be paying for new bridge that doesn’t work. Meanwhile, the Transportation Investment Corporation would have us “hang in there,” but I question, hang in for what? I suspect we’ll learn soon that not only are we going to line up for the new bridge, we will just have to “hang in there” while TReO collects tolls for all our waiting. Lyslie Koch

Transit (BRT) lines: the Highway 1 bus from Carvolth Transit Exchange and park-and-ride to Lougheed SkyTrain station via Walnut Grove; and a second service between Walnut Grove and Surrey Central Station via Highway 1, the 156 Street interchange and Guildford. We consulted with elected officials, stakeholders and the public on this plan in 2011. Since then, as many of your readers know, TransLink had to cut back on previous commitments due to funding challenges.

The 2013 Base Plan includes what is now the #555 Port Mann ExpressBus, connecting Carvolth exchange to Braid Station until construction is complete at Lougheed Station. As a result of funding challenges, we have had to postpone implementing that second BRT service between Walnut Grove and Surrey Central, although the #501, #509 and #590 provide local service. We consulted with elected officials, stakeholders and the public on this plan in September and October.

As for the exchange at 156 Street, TransLink discussed that with the City of Surrey, the government of B.C. and private developers at the conceptual stage, but no agreement was reached. When funding is available, TransLink will revisit the full plan for high-quality BRT service, including increasing off-peak frequency and implementing the second line, between Carvolth and Surrey Central Station.

re: “open fire an enjoyable experience,” Letters, The Leader, Nov. 20. To me, there is a reason for the ban or attempted ban on wood fireplaces. To say that it is pollution is an excuse and a benefit for the electric companies and gas companies. Think about it. We are at the whim of corporations giving us food, light, gas and heat. There is a reason why they want to ban wood-burning fireplaces and I believe it has nothing to do with pollution but for the benefit of making money. Plus, they can shut off the power to your home anytime. And what are you going do when the power goes out but freeze? Everyone should watch the documentary, Who Killed The Electric Car? You can find it online.

Surrey Memorial Hospital surgeries back to normal ER patients still being diverted

by Jeff Nagel All nine operating rooms at Sur-

rey Memorial Hospital are now up and running again after all but one was shut down in the wake of last Monday’s flood. Fraser Health officials say there should be no more surgery postponements as a result of the hospital disruption that has added pressure on other hospitals in the region. They still expect it will take up to two weeks to reopen the closed ER, where crews continue restoration work.

There’s no damage cost estimate yet but it will be “significant.” Surrey Memorial is fully insured but it’s expected damage will be covered by the insurance of the contractor whose machine burst the water main. It’s not yet known how badly key diagnostic imaging equipment is damaged. Much equipment – such as ultrasound machines – are wallmounted and weren’t affected by the flood. “It looked like a disaster zone in here,” said Christine Predy, a manager at SMH who witnessed the knee-high flood on Nov. 19. ER staff moved patients who were near the wall after the contractor warned that there was water building behind it. Staff soon saw the water building behind the glass wall and

had another three minutes to get patients out before it burst and sent water gushing through the ER. “The water ran through for about 20 minutes – there was so much water built up behind that wall it took that long to come through,” Predy said. “A river of current came through the department.” Workers have cut away the bottom foot or so of drywall at the bottom of all the ER walls and officials say the clean-up work is going well. Water leaks in hospitals – often due to plumbing mishaps – are not unusual, according to SMH facilities manager Mitch Weimer. He said the incident requires careful clean-up, but does not pose structural problems. SMH is the busiest ER in western Canada, handling 100,000 patients a year.

Taxing B.C. bud could generate hundreds of millions of dollars in provincial government revenue each year, but likely not billions, a new study suggests. The study, prepared by UBC and SFU researchers and published in the International Journal of Drug Policy, estimates B.C. marijuana users spend roughly $500 million a year on pot. The Stop The Violence campaign to legalize marijuana has used that figure to infer B.C. could reap $2.5 billion in revenue over five years by heavily taxing the drug. That would mean at least doubling the current price of weed to generate the same amount in tax if it were sold legally in the province – a scenario some observers have warned could keep the gang-

controlled black market alive and well. Washington State, with a similar sized potsmoking population, has come up with its own estimate of nearly $2 billion in government revenue over five years from taxing marijuana. Voters there approved legalization in a referendum earlier this month. Its planned 25-percent tax would be levied not just once but on each wholesale and retail sale, and other state and local taxes and licensing fees would also apply. Kevin Hollett, a spokesman for Stop The Violence, defended the idea of tax levels that sharply drive up the price, noting taxes make up 81 per cent of the retail price of tobacco. But SFU criminology professor Neil Boyd said governments hungry to plunder the pot market should be careful how

much money they try to extract. “The current price on the black market of marijuana is $200 to 300 an ounce,” he said. “If people who are going to tax and regulate it were going to sell it for $600, you’re still going to have a black market.”

Another criminologist, Daryl Plecas, has also argued high taxes just keep the door open for organized crime. He said the main market for gangs would go up in smoke if pot was made legal for anyone to grow and possess and government made no attempt to tax or regulate it, but added that only works if consistent laws are applied across North America. Boyd said he believes governments could tap a major flow of revenue under legalization without driving too much trade underground. Alcohol is heavily taxed, he noted, but there’s no significant black market. He agreed illegal trade will remain a factor as long as there’s a big export market. A North Americawide scheme would be best, he said, but predicts there’d be “a really significant change” if even half the U.S. states taxed and regulated pot. The new study’s estimates were based on an average price paid in B.C. of $7.50 per gram, although it cautioned most pot smokers may pay more than that. Washington’s estimates assumed a $12-per-gram retail price, four times the estimated $3-per-gram cost of licensed marijuana producers. Past studies suggest B.C. grown marijuana is worth $7 billion a year, with at least 85 per cent going to export. The number of pot grow-ops in B.C. is thought to have nearly doubled between 2003 and 2010.

rethink waSte ColleCtion program firSt month report

thanks to the diligence of our residents in diverting organic waste from landfill, surrey’s residential garbage dropped 35% since launching the rethink Waste collection program just one month ago.

Diversion Goal The City’s goal is to cut its annual garbage by half through the new waste collection program. Doing so will bring the City’s residential waste diversion to 75%. This is above Metro Vancouver’s regional 70% diversion goal for 2015 and will place Surrey amongst the world’s top cities for waste diversion. aheaD of scheDule Surrey residents’ commitment towards reducing their garbage has been so great that, based on the first month’s results of the Rethink Program, the City is ahead of initial targets and on pace to achieve our waste diversion goal sooner than expected. next steps The next major step in the program is to build an Organic Waste Biofuel Facility where our organic waste will be processed into renewable natural gas. The City is currently forging ahead with this project with the help of a $17 million federal grant. The facility is expected to be operational by 2015 at which time the natural gas will be used to fuel its existing compressed natural waste collection fleet. Until then, Surrey’s residential organic waste is being transported to Fraser Richmond Soil and Fibre where it is processed into a nutrient rich compost and fertilizer.

donation was $200. The top three branded charities each scored close to 95 per cent awareness and 52 per cent of those polled said they would give in the future to the B.C. Cancer Foundation, compared to 46 per cent for B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation and 40 per cent for the Canadian Cancer Society. Nine other charities, from Big Brothers and Sisters to the United Way, had 90-per-centplus recognition, but only 20 to 30 per cent of respondents were likely to donate to them in the future – about half the rate of the big three. The poll also found a 52-per-cent majority of B.C. residents willing to give to local food banks – twice as many as other unbranded causes such as the homeless or religious institutions. Insights West president Steve Mossop said charities face an intensifying battle with their competitors to get public attention and pull in scarce dollars from donors who already complain of being chased by too many causes. Campaign events like runs and walks that pull in friends and family with a link to a cause are one of the creative marketing methods in use. Personal belief in the cause was the top determinant of whether a respondent would donate to a charity, the poll found. But transparency and good outcomes from donations were also very important. The top two reasons not to donate to a charity – listed by 83 per cent of respondents – were that administration costs are too high and that too many groups want money. “Charities that don’t do a good job of explaining where the money is going and aren’t up front about their administration costs are going to suffer in the future,” Mossop said. “People are really looking at the percentages of overhead or the percentages of donaSteve Mossop tions spent on fundraising and administration.” One source of those numbers is watchdog organization Charity Intelligence Canada, which runs an online database of Canadian charities at charityintelligence.ca. It shows fundraising costs consumed nearly 30 per cent of the donations collected by the Canadian Cancer Society’s B.C and Yukon division, an improvement from 40.5 per cent two years ago. B.C. Children’s Hospital plowed 21.4 per cent of donations back into fundraising, while the B.C. Cancer Foundation rate was 23.7 per cent. The B.C. Cancer Foundation was the only one of the three to appear on Charity Intelligence’s 2012 list of top-performing Canadian charities that it says give the best bang for the donor’s dollar. The report said the foundation, which supports cancer research through the B.C. Cancer Agency, has sharply cut fundraising costs and that trend should continue as it limits major events, no longer uses lotteries and leverages more money from government. Other B.C. charities that made the watchdog’s top picks list were the B.C. SPCA, the Victoria Hospice Society, Vancouver’s WISH Drop-In Centre for women, the Vancouver Native Health Society and Aunt Leah’s, a New Westminsterbased non-profit for at-risk youth.

“Charities that don’t do a good job of explaining where the money is going... are going to suffer in the future.”

Family: Lobbying health ministry for help From page 14 The procedure tests for a variety of genetic abnormalities in a baby’s blood. Four day later parents Steve and Ruth received a call at home from the hospital saying Alayna was suffering from a metabolic genetic disorder known as Phenylketonuria or PKU. The disorder occurs when the body is unable to process one amino acid in protein known as phenylalanine or

PHE, which is found in almost all foods. “It was pretty traumatic,” said Ruth Lemky. “Over the phone they tell you if you don’t do anything your child can be severely developmentally damaged.” PKU patients need to be kept on a very strict diet supplemented by a medical formula containing all amino acids except PHE, along with other nutrients that are essential to a proper diet. This “milkshake”

serves as their primary meal three times a day and should be maintained for life. Early detection of PKU, along with the specialized diet, can result in a child living a normal life with normal mental development. Each day, Alayna eats 700 ml of a special prescription formula that acts as her protein substitute. Recently apple sauce has been introduced as well, but PHE is found in many fruits

and vegetables so constant calculations are essential. The PHE-free baby formula is covered by MSP, however other low-protein rice and bread medical supplements are not covered and are often expensive. “If you want them to eat more than just apples or formula shakes you’re going to spend $300 to $500 per month on these special low-protein foods,” said Ruth. “Even a small package

“It was pretty traumatic. Over the phone they tell you if you don’t do anyting your child can be severely developmentally damaged.” Ruth Lemky of mac and cheese is $10.” While the medical formula is fully funded across Canada through the provincial health care systems,

in all other provinces expect B.C., the medical low-protein food is also funded – fully or in part – by the province. In B.C., the proteinfree foods are not covered and Ruth says the costs to families are often overwhelming. There is some hope on the horizon. In 2010, Health Canada approved a new drug called Kuvan, which reduces the levels of PHE in the blood. Kuvan has shown varying degrees of success for between 30 and 40 per cent of patients suffering from PKU. The drug has been available in the U.S since 2007. “(Kuvan) is by no means a magic bullet,” says Steve. “She’s not going to be able to go out and eat a steak, but she could potentially have a vegan diet.” Currently the cost of that drug runs upwards of $50,000 a year and will cost

nearly four times that much when Alayna reaches adulthood. Since the drug is not covered by the Lemkys’ medical insurance, the costs are out of reach for them – and most PKU sufferers. In a statement from the B.C. health ministry, a spokesperson said “because of unclear benefits and high drug costs,” they have declined to cover the costs of the drug. “In regards to food costs for PKU patients, the ministry currently does not fund a low-protein food subsidy for PKU patients. This is consistent with other medical conditions that require patients to follow a special diet,” the spokesperson wrote in an email response to The Leader. Steve and Ruth Lemky have written multiple emails and letters to their provincial representatives looking for help, but to no avail. “We’re at our wits’ end,” said Steve. “We would just like the government to fund Kuvan like they would fund any other drug.” For more information about PKU, visit www.canpku.org

Notice of Public Information Meeting & Open House

Wednesday, December 5th, 2012, th 6:00 – 9:00 PM Wednesday, December 5 , 2012, 6:00 – 9:00 PM NORTH DELTA SECONDARY SCHOOL GYMNASIUM NORTH DELTA SECONDARY SCHOOL GYMNASIUM 11447 82 AVENUE, DELTA, BC Notice of Public Information Meeting & Open House

One-quarter of cross-border shoppers feel guilty by Jeff Nagel Two-Thirds of B.C. residents have

crossed the U.S. border to shop in the past year and 45 per cent have done so within the past three months, according to a new poll. Ipsos Reid conducted the online survey of nearly 2,500 B.C. residents in October. Ninety per cent of respondents knew duty-free limits on purchases Canadians bring back were increased June 1 for overnight visits to the U.S. But only nine per cent said that led them to shop more over the line.

Retail price differences between U.S. and Canadian merchants was the top reason for cross-border shopping – listed by two-thirds of respondents. The availability of deals in the U.S., better selection at retailers there and the currency exchange rate were also factors cited by about half of those polled. The costs of heading across the border – gas, food or a hotel room – were less likely to drive decision making. “It will be interesting to see how these numbers are impacted by the influx of American retailers to

Canada,” Ipsos Reid senior vicepresident Dave Pierzchala said. “These figures suggest that Canadians will still be heading to the U.S. unless the U.S. retailers operating in Canada offer pricing in Canadian locations that is in line with their U.S. pricing.” Nearly a quarter of respondents said they sometimes feel guilty about cross-border shopping instead of buying in Canada. Asked if they had ever lied to a customs agent about how much they spent in the U.S., 15 per cent said yes and 83 per cent said no.

Mediation sought in CUPE contract Delta municipal workers reach impasse with employer

by Adrian McNair delTa’s municipal

workers have filed for mediation in contract negotiations that have been deadlocked between the municipality and the union representing their employees for over a year now. Members offer the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 454 have requested a mediator be called in to settle the dispute. A mediator is different from an arbitrator in that it involves a neutral third party resolving issues between parties in a nonlegally binding manner. The two sides last met Nov. 8 at the Delta Town and Country Inn, but management walked away from the table indicating it would need further direction from Delta council. “It’s not going well but we are hopeful we can reach an agreement very quickly when and if we get can back to the table,” Local 454 president Darryl Robison said Wednesday. Robison said both the union and employer have dropped some demands but there are still some major issues left to be settled. He said the offer made by the union is consistent with the settlement patterns between other municipalities and their civic workers, which is roughly a wage increase of two per cent a year. “We think we’re fair. We’re fully aware of the New West settlement and the Vancouver settlement,” said Robison, adding those jurisdictions received compensation in other areas for accepting less than the

provincial average. The union represents more than 850 civic employees and has been without a contract since

the end of 2011. Delta is negotiating directly with its employees after leaving the Metro Vancouver Labour Relations Bureau

in the spring. Calls for comment from Delta were not returned by The Leader’s press deadline.

Make time for Estate Planning 101

Proper organizing will allow you to control who gets how much of your assets after you’re deceased As the saying goes,

there are two sure things in life – death and taxes. It might not be fun to talk about, but it’s important to plan ahead, organize your assets and put together

a will. Estate planning and ensuring you have a will allows you to control who gets how much of your assets after you’re deceased. This could save your spouse, children and

other beneficiaries much time, effort and money. In fact, without an estate plan/will, the courts will appoint an administrator of their choosing to distribute your assets according to

legal guidelines. And it may not be exactly what you want for your loved ones. If you’re unsure about whether you need an estate plan and will right now (perhaps

you think you’re too young, or not rich enough), think again. You should view this as simply planning for the future and making sure the most important people in your life are

Establish joint tenancy The simplest way to control the distribution of your assets after you pass away is through joint tenancy. Joint tenancy makes you and another party such as your spouse or child “joint tenants with rights of survivorship.” In plain English, this means each party has equal rights of ownership of an asset, be it a chequing and savings account, term deposit, investment accounts or real estate. Upon the death of one owner, the deceased’s interest in the account terminates, MoTI CleavingAd full#946 ownership with the surviving joint GM Tunnel owner(s).

Name beneficiaries The second option is to ensure you have designated beneficiaries for assets like your Registered Retirement Savings Plan, Registered Retirement Income Fund, Tax-Free Savings Accounts, life insur-

ance, and segregated funds. By designating a beneficiary, these assets can be distributed without reference to a will. Review your beneficiary designations regularly and make any needed changes to match with your wishes.

Get life insurance As part of an overall estate plan, I recommend life insurance, especially if you have a spouse or children who depend on your income to maintain their way of life. As well, life insurance can help reduce the tax burden your estate

Khaira nets rookie honour Former Cloverdale player now at Michigan Tech

Black Press A product of Cloverdale Minor

Hockey has been named the Western Collegiate Hockey Association’s (WCHA) Rookie of the Week after helping the Michigan Tech Huskies to two wins over Bemidji State. Jujhar Khaira scored twice on

the power play late in the third period to force overtime, then set up North Delta native Alex Petan for the overtime winner in a 5-4 win Nov. 16. A day later, the former member of Prince George Spruce Kings of the B.C. Hockey League notched an assist on the overtime winner as

the Huskies downed Bemidji 2-1. Khaira is now third on the team in scoring with two goals and six assists in 10 games. Last season, he finished 10th in BCHL scoring with 79 points in 54 games before being taken in the third round of the National Hockey League Entry Draft by the Edmonton Oilers.
