There’s no ‘showdown’ with B.C. teachers: Minister Province changes bargaining process in bid to land 10-year deal by Tom Fletcher THE B.C. government is pressing
ahead with its goal of a 10-year agreement with B.C. teachers, appointing a “public administrator” to replace school trustees on the board of their provincial bargaining agency. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the change is temporary, and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) will continue to play an important role in talks with teachers and support staff. BCPSEA will be under the direction of Michael Marchbank, CEO of the Hospital Employers’ Association, Peter when talks with Fassbender the B.C. Teachers’ Federation resume in September. Fassbender’s announcement surprised school trustees around the province. The Surrey-Fleetwood MLA said he spoke to or left messages for trustees on the BCPSEA executive before making the announcement in Vancouver on Wednesday. See FASSBENDER / Page 4

A firefighter walks through smoking peat during a wildfire in Burns Bog in 2007. The blaze – one of several over the last couple of decades – burned about a hectare and smouldered for days.
Burns Bog dangerously dry Delta firefighters issue extreme fire hazard warning; monitoring area daily by Robert Mangelsdorf THE RECENT hot summer weather might be
great for catching a tan, but it can spell trouble for Delta Fire and Emergency Services. The fire department is advising residents there is currently an extreme fire hazard in Burns Bog, and with more sunshine and dry weather on the way, the situation is expected to worsen. The bog has had a long history of wildfires.
In 2007, a blaze burned through about a hectare in the bog, while in 2005, more than 200 hectares burned for a week and a half, sending a smoky haze to settle on the Lower Mainland. In 1996, 80 hectares of the bog burned, while 40 hectares burned in 1990. Lightning strikes and the spontaneous combustion of decaying organic matter can spark wildfires in the bog, as can a discarded cigarette. Deputy chief Ken Sim said in order to

reduce the possibility of a preventable wildfire, no one should be entering the Burns Bog Conservation Area. “You need permits to go in there anyway, but it’s especially important right now,” he said. Given the difficult terrain in the bog, fighting fires there isn’t easy. In addition to heat and fatigue, firefighters must contend with unstable footing, falling trees, and even large wasp nests.

Fires: B.C.wide ban in effect From page 1
“It’s a very dangerous place for us to be,” said Sim. “We always work in pairs and always carry our own emergency medical equipment.” The peat that makes up much of the bog is flammable, and fire can travel underground before flaring up at the surface. Making matters worse is there is no ready supply of water for firefighters to use. “It’s a very different kind of fire than a residential structure fire,” said Sim. That’s why every Delta firefighter is specially trained to deal with wildfire situations.” Improvements in the bog’s hydrology over the past decades have resulted in a higher water table, reducing the fire risk somewhat. But all it takes is one spark to ignite. “Everyone needs to be careful, especially if forested areas are your playground,” said Sim. The fire department is currently monitoring fire conditions in the bog daily. Much of southern B.C. is under a high or extreme fire hazard rating.
Dry July one for the record books NOT A drop of rain was recorded at
Vancouver and Victoria airports during July, the first time that has happened since Environment Canada began keeping records in 1937. In Surrey and Delta, the climate data for July 2013 also showed no precipitation all month. Much off B.C. had an unusually dry month, with numerous records falling. Provincial bans on all open burning, including campfires, took effect Thursday in the Kamloops and Coastal fire districts, covering most of southern and central B.C. The ban covers coastal areas except Haida Gwaii and the designated “fog zone” on west Vancouver Island. Fire bans apply to open fires of any size, including those with permits, as well as industrial burning, fireworks, tiki torches and burn barrels. Camp stoves that use propane or briquettes are still allowed. Provincial fire restrictions cover all private and Crown land, including parks, but not within the boundaries of local governments that have fire departments, which establish local restrictions.

Surrey scientist making brain surgery safer New ‘mapping’ techniques improve outcomes for epilepsy patients Black Press A BRAIN imaging research team led by
Dr. Ryan D’Arcy
Simon Fraser University neuroscientist Dr. Ryan D’Arcy has found a new way to help surgeons more accurately plan for surgical treatment in epilepsy. The results of a recent study using magnetoencephalography (MEG) have been published in the field’s highest impact journal, Human Brain Mapping. To showcase the study, the journal highlighted the images of MEG activity on the August 2013 cover. D’Arcy and his team used MEG technology
to produce detailed spatial maps of critical language functions in order to improve pre-operative planning for better surgical outcomes. “When carrying out brain surgery, it’s imperative not only to determine where the areas are to treat, but whether the critical regions that carry out higher functions, like language and memory, will be affected,” says D’Arcy, a professor in SFU’s schools of engineering and computing sciences. D’Arcy also holds the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation B.C. Leadership Chair in Multimodal Technology for Healthcare Innovation at Surrey Memorial Hospital. His brain
mapping work was developed in Halifax, where he laid the groundwork for the current study. Now establishing labs in Surrey Memorial Hospital, D’Arcy continues this work in MEG through collaboration with Fraser Health. D’Arcy notes that SFU has been at the forefront of MEG technology for many years and was a pioneer in its development, resulting in the university’s first spin-off company, CTF Systems, nearly 30 years ago. In co-leading the creation of Innovation Boulevard – a high-technology health sector being developed in Surrey – he plans to further advance brain-based technologies like MEG.

Fassbender: ‘New road map’ Jackson: New farms the issue From page 1
From page 1 The move is to meet a demand of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) to bargain directly with the B.C. government, Fassbender said. The government also intends to eliminate essential services rules that keep schools open with minimum staff during strikes. Fassbender denied the suggestion he is setting up a “showdown� with teachers that would shut down schools and turn the public against unions. The structural change is needed to achieve the stability for stu-
dents and parents promised by Premier Christy Clark, he said. “It’s not about pitting them against us,� Fassbender said. “It’s about finding a new road map where we can achieve that goal.� A two-year contract extension and wage freeze imposed by the government on teachers expired at the end of June. Jim Iker, who took over this spring as BCTF president, told CKNW radio Thursday his union isn’t opposed to a long-term settlement, as long as more resources are there to improve classroom
conditions. The BCTF is returning to court this fall to seek restoration of bargaining for class size and special needs support. School support staff represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) are to resume negotiations for a new contract this month, after walking away last spring because their negotiators didn’t believe BCPSEA had an adequate mandate to get a settlement. CUPE employees have not had a raise in four years. tfletcher@blackpress.ca
Although Delta can work with farmers on noise control, bylaws governing the cannons themselves fall under provincial jurisdiction and the Right to Farm Act. The province has indicated to other jurisdictions with similar complaints that it has no plan to change the laws governing blueberry cannons. “So, you can scream all you want at your municipal councillors, but it’s a provincial government that mandates the use of propane cannons and bird scare devices,� said Coun. Ian Paton, adding he was on the phone most of last week dealing with the issue. “There’s a lot of ticked off people right now in Delta.� He, along with Davies and Mayor Lois Jackson took part in a communityorganized blueberry cannon forum at the Sundance Inn on Ladner Trunk Road last
Wednesday to listen to concerns from the 150 residents who attended. Many of them said the noise was harming their quality of life. “You can fire them right until eight o’clock at night, so you can imagine if you’re sitting in your backyard and you’re entertaining some company and having a backyard barbecue and you’re listening to these propane cannons going off every 60 seconds it’s pretty irritating,� said Paton. Jackson said the issue isn’t so much the existing farms but the new ones springing up in fields that used to grow peas or potatoes. “Abutting a blueberry farm or new blueberry crop right next to residential areas, knowing that we’ve got problems with cannons, may be something we have to talk about in the review we’re going to have,� she said.

Wanted man runs straight into Surrey cop’s arms
$
Suspect flees from Transit Police – and into RCMP officer by Sheila Reynolds
A FUGITIVE wanted on a Canada-wide warrant tried to run from a Transit Police officer in Surrey last Friday night – only to bump right into an RCMP officer. It was shortly before midnight on July 26 that a transit officer at the Gateway SkyTrain station saw two men who appeared to be in the midst of a drug deal. As he approached, the men saw him and ran. The officer recognized one of them as a wanted man from a police bulletin and gave chase. The suspect ran southbound from the station, near 108 Avenue and 134 Street, turned the cor-
ner at 108 Avenue, and ran directly into a Surrey RCMP officer who was on routine patrol in the area. The man was taken into custody and turned over to Transit Police. The second man got away. Vancouver’s Fabian Yule Brown, 39, was arrested on three warrants involving five charges. The Canada-wide warrant was for two counts of robbery and one of break and enter. There was also a Surrey RCMP warrant for drug possession and an Integrated Road Safety Unit warrant for prohibited driving. Brown is in custody and has a court appearance today (Aug. 6).

B.C.’s crime rate was third in Canada last year, behind Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The lowest rates were in Ontario and Quebec. Homicide cases dropped from 87 to 71, with 28 of those treated as first-degree murder. The number of policereported attempted murders rose four per cent to 83. Property crime was up slightly in 2012, with 217,767 incidents reported. There were 97 arsons reported, an increase of a third from 2011. Break and enters to steal a firearm rose to 119, the latest of a series of increases since 11 such incidents were reported in 2008. Vehicle thefts have declined by 45 per cent since 2008, with 12,584 reported to police in 2012.
Drowning deaths up in B.C. THE LONG hot summer
days of July have seen in a spike in the number of drowning deaths around B.C. There have been 43 drowning deaths so far in 2013, up from 25 in the same period as 2012, BC Stats reported Monday. An analysis by the B.C. Coroners Service
found that from 2008 to 2012, half of all drowning victims were involved in recreational activities, and nearly 60 per cent happened between May and August. The B.C. Interior
had the largest proportion of drowning deaths, 35.5 per cent, followed by Vancouver Island with 24.4 per cent. Five per cent of drownings occurred on the job, while the
rest were for situations such as vehicle accidents, falls into water and deaths in bathtubs. The likeliest age groups are 20 to 29 (20.9 per cent of deaths) and 50 to 59 (19.7 per cent).

RAESIDE
No holiday for safety
S
ummer seems to be the season of senseless – and sometimes tragic – accidents. A jogger is hit by a train at a busy and well-marked crossing along White Rock’s waterfront. A child falls from a window left open to capture a cooling breeze. A swimmer dives into a shallow pool of water and never resurfaces. These kinds of tragic fatalities seem to happen year after year, in communities across the province. And they especially resonate because they often involve people doing activities we’re all pursuing in the halcyon days of summer. Enjoying the outdoors. Being active. Getting away. Staying cool. But just because we’re slowing down to enjoy the season doesn’t mean we can let down our guard when it comes to staying safe. Traffic may be diminished, but it’s still dangerous. The water at the swimming hole may be inviting and refreshing, but dangers lurk beneath the surface. Beers on the back deck or at the campsite are just as intoxicating as those consumed in the pub on a Friday night. Of course, more people are out and about, enjoying the sunshine and warm temperatures, so the odds are higher that accidents are likely to occur. But the zeal to get out, to maximize our enjoyment of these rare sunny months before the winter rains and chill settle in again sometimes lead to lapses in judgment. Seemingly inconsequential acts like leaving a window open, rolling through a stop sign, not looking both ways before crossing a street, or ignoring a prominently-placed warning notice can come with huge consequences. Sometimes even fatal ones. British Columbians love the outdoors. Partly because there’s so much of it at our doorstep and it’s so beautiful. Partly because we spend so much of the year seeking shelter from it when rain and snow fall from the sky. But no matter where your summer takes you and your family – whether it’s to the beach or the cabin, to any number of vacation destinations, or even if you’re just relaxing at home, just remember to be careful out there. – Black Press

he ceremonies have become common at the B.C. legislature. Government officials and aboriginal leaders gather to celebrate resource-sharing agreements that allow economic development in areas that need employment but are hampered by a century of uncertainty and dispute over treaties, or lack thereof. This approach emerged a decade ago with forest agreements. The B.C. Liberal government bought back timber cutting licences from big forest firms and made them available for community forests and aboriginal communities who claimed the areas as their traditional territories. Recently the approach was extended to mining revenues and water licence fees paid by private power developers. These are substantial steps forward for the only province in Canada in treaty limbo. A 2010 sharing deal worth more than $30 million in royalties for the Mount Milligan coppergold mine north of Prince George helped the McLeod Lake Indian Band recover from the pine beetle and forestry slump that devastated its business base.

a focal point for oil and gas pipeline proposals. Donaldson highlighted another problem. Last year, the government signed a reconciliation agreement with the Gitanyow First Nation near Terrace, one of many communities struggling to get through the B.C. treaty negotiation process. That agreement included a joint landuse plan. Then the Environmental Assessment Office asked the Gitanyow for its input on proposed gas pipelines through its territory, to feed the government’s liquefied natural gas plans. Again, the joint land-use plan has no provision for pipelines. The Gitanyow hereditary chiefs wrote to the B.C. government in July, threatening to go to court over the pipeline proposal and questioning the value of their hard-won reconciliation agreement. Resource revenue sharing agreements and shared land-use plans are well-intentioned and represent real progress. But these situations show how fragile they are.

All drivers should follow the lead of professional truckers
I WOULD like to let you know what
really bugs me, as a professional driver holding a Class 1 driver’s licence. I am required by law to do a complete walk-around inspection on my commercial truck, including lights (brake, running, headlights – both low and high, and signals), check my wheels and tires, brakes, and to inspect for anything that would impede the safe operation of my truck. I have been noticing an alarming trend of vehicles operating unsafely on our roads and highways; vehicles being driven with burned-out taillights, no brake lights, burned-out headlights, and non-operational signals. I try to inform as many drivers as I safely can but alas, this task is to great for me alone. Yesterday I was following behind a farm vehicle (Chevy cab, over five tonne) driving with his power lift blocking his tail lights, but I was unable to inform him as he sped eastbound on the 401. I think bringing back yearly motor vehicle inspection for all licensed vehicles would help to stop this, but all drivers could help by once a week, before leaving home, starting your car, turning on your lights and hazard lights, and walking around your vehicle to make sure everything works. Also, if possible, have someone check while you

When development and traffic intersect
RE: “TRAFFIC drives one to
rhyme,� Chris Bryan column, The Leader, July 11. It is one thing to complain about traffic through New Westminster, particularly along McBride to and from Surrey, another to look at facts. Maybe the City of New Westminster should have – decades ago – reserved the corridor in question to commercial or even light industrial use, since none of the residential buildings were built when the Pattullo Bridge was built. In fact, most of them were probably built within the last 20 years (the bridge is 76 years old). Even after they were built, people did not have to move into them. The noise from traffic
Let’s keep the new SMH tower clean
is not that new, certainly not as new as the buildings. Now Surrey, in its lack of wisdom, is doing the same thing: zon-
ing for highrise apartments, townhouse complexes and monster homes (mini-apartments) along the noisiest and busiest streets and
avenues. Just pick any location – 184 to 188 Streets and Fraser Highway, all along 120 Street from 70 to 64 Avenues – and see all new townhouses on the noisiest streets in Surrey apart from freeways. New homes are being built all along Highway 10 from 124 to 138 Street. And South Surrey residents are complaining about trucks and noise on 32 Avenue after townhouses were just built on that previously established truck route. Builders, city planners, and buyers lack foresight. I don’t see any difference between this situation and the New Westminster one, except location and time.   Terrance Fisher
Park-and-ride problem I WOULD like to know more about the parking situation at the King
George SkyTrain station. With the current redevelopment, the majority of the 812 parking spots have been removed. As the property has been sold, there are no plans for any SkyTrain parking. I park there every day to take the train to downtown Vancouver, and was quite shocked to discover that the lot was completely full as it now is every morning. This is one of the major park-and-ride stations for Surrey and I am baffled as to where TransLink and the City of Surrey expect SkyTrain patrons to park so that the users can get to their jobs. Frankly, I am shocked at the lack of foresight and communication to riders on this issue. Â

Memorial Hospital is lovely to have, but as letter writer Keith Sutton pointed out (The Leader, July 30), how long will it look that clean? The current cleaning practices are disgraceful to say the least. When I was staying there I was lucky to even see someone that cleans or knows how to. I remember when the cleaning crew used to come around every day with a wet mop and use disinfectant on the floor. A dry mop every day does not cut it. No wonder the infection rate has gone up at the hospitals. I had to have a nurse call housekeeping up to my ward while I was there to clean the bathroom it was so dirty. We also got our bed sheets changed, but you’re lucky if that happens now. The bed pans were also an issue while I was there; they did not clean and sanitize them after use. But other than this I must say all the nurses and doctors were super. A big thank you to all the hard working nurses and doctors.

has reluctantly agreed to let new mechanized garbage-sorting plants open and extract more recyclables from the waste stream that are now landfilled or incinerated. The regional district had been poised to ban private firms from opening new mixed-waste material recovery facilities (MRFs) that can take incoming garbage and use various technologies to sort out at least some usable material. Metro staff originally feared the advent of mixed-waste MRFs would lead to single-bin pick-up at businesses and apartment buildings – years of persuading residents to sourceseparate materials would fall by the wayside and the sorting of recyclables from garbage would be left to machinery. Several green industries also opposed the mechanized solution, predicting it will be inferior and leave them with fewer recyclables and organics to process and more contamination. But persistent lobbying by Northwest Waste Solutions – which is building a mixed-waste MRF in south Vancouver – has prompted the regional district to make some room for that option. Metro intends to tightly regulate such plants to ensure they work as billed. It wants businesses and apartment dwellers to keep

Machinery at mixed-waste material recovery facilities will soon be extracting more recyclables from the garbage stream that are now landfilled or incincerated. separating recyclables from the garbage. And MRF operators could be fined or lose their licence if too much recyclable material ends up landfilled or if they wish to export too much residual garbage out of region. (Some could be shipped out without penalty). Metro board chair Greg Moore said it allows MRF operators the chance to recover more recyclables from garbage and help the region boost recovery rates from multi-family apartments, where poor compliance pulls down the regional recycling rate. “Technology is evolving quickly in this field, so we’ve said why not be open to that concept,� Moore said. But Northwest Waste CEO Ralph McRae said Metro’s olive branch
appears to be just a pretense, adding the planned regulations are so restrictive they’re unworkable. He doesn’t see how he can open his $30-million plant and predicts no other companies will invest the money to build new MRFs either. “It’s a horror show is what it is,� McRae said. “It’s like saying you can put a team in the National Hockey League but you can’t wear skates. And if you don’t win 50 per cent of your games, you’re out.� McRae said Metro is unreasonably defending the source-separation system to protect the flow of material to established recyclers. The move is part of Metro’s broader policy to outlaw the growing practice of hauling garbage to out-of-region transfer

stations. The regional district no longer intends to force a licensing system onto garbage haulers, but they will be required to take all waste to approved regional facilities or face fines. Without that, Metro says, it has no way to enforce the region’s bans on the disposal of recyclables when garbage is shipped out to the Fraser Valley or the U.S., leaving a loophole that could let growing numbers of homes and businesses ignore Metro recycling rules. Each load that goes out of region doesn’t pay tipping fees to Metro either and staff have warned the current trickle of outbound material could grow to a flood, since regional tipping fees are slated to rise further. Opponents of the waste-flow policy contend it is all about ensuring enough fuel is kept in the region to power a new incinerator Metro plans to build. “It has absolutely nothing to do with a new waste-to-energy facility,� Moore responded. “Even when we get to 70-percent diversion we’re still going to have to deal with 700,000 tonnes of garbage a year.� If Metro reaches 80- or 90-per-cent diversion, he added, Metro can wind down use of its existing Burnaby incinerator. Metro will hear delegations on the proposed bylaw Sept. 5. If the Metro board then gives it third reading it would still need approval of B.C.’s environment minister.

BBB warns of summer scams Tips for consumers Black Press
“HI, GRAM, I need your help and you have to promise not to tell Mom and Dad. I got arrested in Mexico and I need $2,000 bail money...” According to the Better Business Bureau (BBB), consumer scams are a problem in Canada and this is one of the most common: the Emergency Scam, where the scammer poses as a friend or family member in trouble, often overseas, and requests that money be sent. It’s sometimes called the Grandparent Scam because seniors are often targeted by scammers pretending to be grandchildren. During the summer travel season, there is an increased potential for Emergency or Grandparent Scams to occur. More people are travelling and whenever people are vulnerable, fraudsters will generally attack. Emergency scams play off people’s emotions and strong desire to help others in need. Scammers impersonate their victims’ loved ones, often using information they’ve picked up on social media, and make up an urgent situation: I’ve been arrested, I’ve
been mugged, I’m in the hospital. The scammer makes an urgent plea for help – and money. In most cases, the scammer asks for money to be wired immediately. The victim often responds quickly and without checking first to see if the pleading voice on the other end of the phone really is their grandchild or other loved one. BBB offers the following tips to protect consumers from Emergency Scams during the summer travel season: • Do not wire money to a stranger you have not met in person. • Investigate by verifying the information with family members and friends first and ignore the caller’s plea not to tell others. • Never send funds received by cheque until it officially clears in your account, which can take several days, or more. • Watch out for email scams. Often someone you know may have had their email highjacked by a scammer, so do not trust an emergency via email unless you have verified it first. You can also report a scam, and learn more on other summer scams on www.mbc.bbb.org.

Jail time for break-in Surrey man gets 19 months; younger brother cleared
by Martin van den Hemel
A 34-YEAR-OLD Surrey man has been sentenced to more than 19 months in jail for a break-in at a house in Richmond last March in which he netted less than $500 worth of goods. His haul also included a Luis Vuitton handbag that turned out to be fake. Crown Counsel Leandre Rupert-Bailey said Ifraz Khan and his younger brother Javed Khan, from Vancouver, were under surveillance at the time they were spotted breaking into a house. Rupert-Bailey described the theft as a “crime of opportunity”
as the couple who were living in the targeted home had just left to bring their baby to the doctor. With his younger brother waiting in the car, Ifraz slipped into the house via a side door that wasn’t properly secured, meaning he didn’t have to break in. As a surveillance team watched the incident unfold, they were in contact with other police officers stationed around the bend in the street. When Ifraz Khan was seen exiting the house, the police cruisers began to pull up to the targeted house. The Khan brothers were both arrested, but Ifraz Khan entered
an early guilty plea to breaking and entering and theft. The Crown believes Ifraz Khan roped his brother into driving, and that the younger brother wasn’t involved in the break-in. The criminal charge was dropped against Javed Khan, who did not have a criminal record. Rupert-Bailey said Ifraz Khan was known to police, and that’s why he was under surveillance. His prior criminal history also factored into the stiff jail sentence. Rupert-Bailey said Ifraz Khan stuffed less than $500 worth of personal belongings in a pillowcase, including the fake Luis Vuitton bag.
Arrest ends stand-off Suspect had outstanding warrants by Tracy Holmes A 27-YEAR-OLD Surrey man is in
custody following a stand-off at a South Surrey home last month. Police say Air 1 – the Mounties’ dedicated helicopter – and the Emergency Response Team were dispatched to the 15700-block of Croydon Drive late Wednesday, July 24, after a man wanted on two outstanding warrants was tracked to a home in the area. He was believed to be armed. After the suspect refused for several hours to comply with police demands to exit the home, officers broke through the door at

Langley Township heads to court Region sees risky precedent in local council’s defiance of growth plan by Jeff Nagel
METRO VANCOUVER is taking the Township of Langley to court to make the municipality comply with the regional growth strategy, saying the local council’s defiance of the plan threatens to set a dangerous precedent. At issue is the township’s vision for the so-called University District, a large 180-hectare area named after nearby Trinity Western University and earmarked for future institutional expansion by TWU and related development. Township council last month rezoned the land near Highway 1 and Glover Road, much of which is in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), but the legal challenge by Metro aims to quash the bylaw. Metro argues the municipality must abide by the new regional growth strategy. It requires the land use change go to a vote of the regional board because it calls for more intensive development of homes outside the regional plan’s urban containment boundary, contrary to Metro’s goal of concentrating growth in town centres and limiting sprawl in more rural and agricultural areas. The Township contends a two-year transition period means it is operating under the old regional plan – not the new one adopted two years ago – and can legally make the landuse change now. “We feel it should be the municipality that deals with landuse issues,” Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese said. “We are very confident with the case
law our lawyers have reviewed that we are doing the right thing.” Metro directors say a Langley victory in the dispute could leave other areas of farmland or green space more vulnerable to development. “What we’re concerned about is the precedent that’s set if, in fact, Langley is permitted to go ahead with a redevelopment scheme that in essence changes the regional growth strategy boundaries that have been set in place by all the municipalities,” said Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, chair of Metro’s regional planning committee. Corrigan said Metro agreed to a special study area in Langley Township where more intensive development could be contemplated to the south of TWU, in a corridor that more logically heads toward the township’s commercial centre. But he said the local
council has broadened the planned University District to also include land closer to the freeway that Metro did not consent to consider. Corrigan said Langley Township, if it fails in court, could still put the proposed change to a vote of the Metro board. A simple majority vote would approve the study area lands, while a higher two-thirds threshold would be needed to okay inclusion of the Wall properties outside the study area. Froese maintained concerns about a precedent are a “red herring,” adding the Agricultural Land Commission still has final say on development of land in the ALR. “I see it as a basic fundamental right of a locally elected government, which is really in tune with what’s right for their municipality.” He said the University District is right next to the freeway and existing urban development and
includes farmland that’s “not that good.” Metro’s position is that the ALC’s determination of whether land can come out of the ALR is a separate matter from the regional board’s decisions on appropriate land use, including the regional aim of containing most growth in defined urban areas. Langley Township wanted a mediated settlement, Froese added, but was rebuffed by Metro. All Metro municipalities had until July 29 to file new regional context statements, which define how local plans comply with the regional growth strategy. Most of the context statements aren’t controversial and reflect existing Official Community Plans. One notable change is in Port Moody, where council had previously frozen new development in response to delays in approving the

alternate transportation after a meeting between the school district and the province failed to yield fruit. Delta School District Chair Laura Dixon travelled to Victoria last Wednesday (July 24) with senior staff to meet with Education minister Peter Fassbender about the prov-
ince’s change to the transportation funding formula, which resulted in a 47-per-cent reduction of Delta’s budget. Dixon said she was told the reason for restructuring the bus funding formula was that it would serve most of the needs of most of the districts. Fassbender reportedly told Dixon some of those districts, such as Delta, haven’t fit the formula.
8a Ave
The issue will now be sent to the province’s technical review committee, but it doesn’t meet until well into the fall and no date has yet been set. “That means there will be no review and/or any alternate structure of the grant in time for this school year,� said Dixon. Delta faces challenges that other school districts do not, with three distinct communities separated and interspersed with thousands of hectares of active farming which results in a low population density.
“Anyone can see that Delta isn’t an urban area,� said Delta-South MLA Vicki Huntington. “If we lose our school bus service, there’s no transit – not in the agricultural areas. And students can’t be expected to cross our highways twice a day. It’s simply not safe.� Even if the technical review committee decides to change the grants at some further date, Dixon said it won’t include new funding overall in the province. “They stressed to us that it would be unlikely that they would start taking money away from

other districts,� she said. “They have just arrived at this new funding formula, they believe that it serves the best interests of the majority of districts.� That doesn’t mean the Delta School District isn’t exploring other options. Dixon said she has a meeting with TransLink in the beginning of August. “The number-one thing we’re encouraging parents to do is to make sure they have arrangements made for September for their families,� said Dixon.

“And if you determine that good farm vehicle access is plus then yes, absolutely, we have no reason to remove it before dedicating the land to Delta.” The plan would involve a $9-million investment from Century Group to create the Delta Community Based Farm District, which includes improving soil quality to agricultural grade, drainage improvements, irrigation, construction of farm building infrastructure, and a Market Square. At the end of a 10-year period the land – 80 per cent of the development’s tota l– would be transferred to public ownership. Because the Southlands was removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve in 1981, Delta is not required to seek ministry approval for any bylaw changes and farming is already a permitted use. There has been indications public support for the proposal has shifted in favour in recent months. According to correspondence received by the Corporation of Delta from Nov. 17, 2012 and June 14, 2013, there are 51 per cent of people in support, with 41 per cent opposed. But counting all correspondence the municipality has received on the project since it was first submitted Oct. 3, 2011, just 27 per cent have expressed support, while 67 per cent are opposed.

Help is on line Firefighters stay on top of rescue techniques to prepare for all types of emergencies
M
embers of the Surrey Firefighter Confined Space and High Angle Rescue Team, along with Royal Heights Hall 3 volunteers, spent a recent Tuesday evening (July 23) deep in the woods at Tom Hopkins Ravine Park “rescuing” a young woman who had fallen and broken her knee. The pre-planned training exercise was part of a continuous schedule that members of the two Surrey volunteer fire halls – located in Port Kells and Royal Heights – complete weekly to stay sharp. The woman was placed in the ravine and the firefighters were tasked with finding her in the dense bush, stabilizing her injuries on the scene, and aiding the rescue team using a rope-pulley system to get her out of the woods in a rescue basket.
According to volunteer District Chief Walter Becker, it’s important to keep the volunteers welltrained so they can assist full-time firefighters with the ever-increasing number of serious emergencies in Surrey. “We train in every area of the city, from Cloverdale to Bridgeview,” said Becker, adding exercises ranging from first aid calls and serious car accidents, to water retrieval techniques for areas of the city with few fire hydrants. According to Becker, working as a volunteer helps members realize what it takes to become a full-time firefighter. For more information on becoming a volunteer firefighter, go to https://www.surrey.ca/cityservices/4696.aspx
Q Story and photos by Evan Seal Clockwise from top: Firefighter Amar Sangha rappels down a steep embankment in Tom Hopkins Park. The Hall 3 volunteer rescue team lowers a basket stretcher into the ravine. Volunteers stabilize ‘patient’ Melissa Wuensche, who was simulating a serious leg injury. The rescue team carries the stretcher with Wuensche out of the ravine.

ICBC continues to whine about victims asking to be paid for their future losses. A full bodied whine it is too, with ICBC lawyers arguing against any future wage loss in 95% of the neck / back injury trials in 2013. As ICBC premium paying customers do we get premium value for the whine, or is it bitter and unpleasant to swallow? In 70% of the 2013 court decisions the whine failed to impress with our BC Supreme Court awarding on average over $56,000 for future income loss.
the neck / back injury trials. Uncorking that whine was no more refreshing, with judges awarding on average over $60,000 for future loss of income in the 2012 decisions. Our law requires victims to prove the collision caused a real and substantial possibility of a future event leading to an income loss. The idea is fairly simple. Ongoing injuries can lead to earlier retirement, or perhaps reduce the hours worked, or limit the victim’s ability to do different types of work. In 2012 this type of loss was proven 68% of the time at trial.
The whine is well aged. The year before ICBC lawyers asked judges to refuse any such compensation in 93% of
In many cases ICBC has a strong argument that the injuries recovered, or the ongoing problems are not caused by the collision, and so forth. But denying any future income loss at all 95% of the time perhaps suggests the wrong cork is going into the bottle when the court Law LawCorporation Corporation concludes the loss is proven in 70% of the cases.
