evasion fines owes more than any other scofflaw now being denied licence and insurance renewals by ICBC. Data released by the insurance corporation shows all of the top 10 transit fine offenders it tracks have at least 35 unpaid tickets issued from 2002-2012 and owe more than $4,000 each. Together, their unpaid fines total $73,000. Five of the top fare evaders are from Surrey. One is on the hook for 56 unpaid fines totalling $8,418, while the others have 36 to 45 unpaid fines and owe between $4,000 and $6,000. Three Burnaby residents are on the list. One has 86 fines totalling $11,678, followed by one with 46 fines owing $7,831 and another owing $5,326 for 41 fines. A New Westminster resident has Alan Grossman the 10th highest number of fines – 35 worth $5,800. ICBC on April 1 began denying auto insurance and driver’s licence renewals to motorists with unpaid TransLink tickets issued in 2012 and earlier, in line with provincial legislation passed that year. A total of 37,000 old unpaid fare evasion tickets worth $5.7 million are now subject to ICBC “refusal to issue” holds. The identities of the top fare evaders listed by ICBC were withheld. The ICBC list does not include all fare evaders – it only tracks the ones with active driver’s licences.

West Breden, 24, co-founder of of Parkour Surrey, leaps over a concrete wall in Holland Park. Pakour is the art of ‘moving between two points as efficiently as possible using only your body and the urban environment,’ says Breden. The sport, which is growing in popularity, is like gymnastics on concrete – without the soft landing mat.

tive plans for the future site of East Clayton’s Hazelgrove Park, something the city has not seen before. The new park at 7080 190 St. will feature the city’s first purpose-built parkour course. But what exactly is parkour? “It’s about moving between two points as efficiently as possible using only your body and the urban environment,” said West Breden, cofounder of Parkour Surrey, a group of local parkour enthusiasts. “It’s just you and your body moving from point A to point B Owen Croy as creatively and fluidly as you can.” Some of these movements include flipping and jumping over ledges and railings, scaling large concrete walls and even leaping from rooftop to rooftop, all without padding or safety equipment of any kind. Traceurs and traceuses, the men and women who practise parkour, need to know their bodies well because parkour is like “street gymnastics” in a sense. See NEW PARK / Page 8

In 2012, 81 people died in B.C. as a result of distracted driving.

Texting is the new drunk driving B.C. is considering tougher penalties by Tom Fletcher

MORE PEOPLE are dying from distracted driving than drinking and driving, and that has caused Attorney General Suzanne Anton to reconsider whether B.C.’s penalties for using mobile phones behind the wheel are tough enough. Anton said the latest statistics from 2012 show 81 deaths from distracted driving in the year, compared to 55 related to impaired driving. “People seem to know that they must not drink and drive, but distracted driving, people don’t seem to have the same level of awareness,” Anton said. B.C.’s Motor Vehicle Act currently sets a $167 fine for talking on a handheld mobile phone, and $167 plus three demerit points for emailing or texting while driving. Ontario recently raised its fine from $155 to $280, with a maximum of $500 for those who contest the fine and are convicted. Anton said last week she Suzanne Anton was disturbed to discover that B.C. has more distracted driving deaths than Ontario, which has three times the population. “Should there be points attached to holding the handheld device and talking? Probably,” Anton said. “Should the fines be higher? Probably, so I’m having a look at both of those.” Another statistic that caught Anton’s attention was the 51,000 distracted driving tickets handed out in B.C. in 2013. She said that’s a “huge number” that suggests the message of distracted driving is not getting through. The Superintendent of Motor Vehicles is analyzing B.C. driving habits and will report to Anton.

“One crew waited over 45 minutes for a lady that fell and broke her hip.”

larger amounts. “We can only play a role in helping to collect this debt where there’s an active driver’s licence or insurance policy, so that’s all we can report on,” ICBC’s Adam Grossman said. There is no amnesty on partial payment of large amounts owed or cap on the maximum ICBC insists is paid before lifting a hold. “This is provincial government debt but I believe their goal is to recover as much of the outstanding payments as possible,” Grossman said. Old pre-2012 fines that are paid go to the provincial government, not TransLink, while tickets issued after that year are payable to TransLink. ICBC began sending out warning letters to drivers with unpaid TransLink fines in early March. TransLink says more than 30 per cent of ticketed fare evaders have paid their fines since the legislation change in 2012, which also gave TransLink authority to use collection agencies, in addition to the ban on ICBC renewals. That’s an improvement from a roughly 15 per cent payment rate previously when Transit Police were issuing tickets that were essentially toothless. New fare evasion fines start at $173 but climb to $213 after six months and $273 if they’re unpaid after a year.

GOVERNANCE

Tweaking TransLink

RAESIDE

f at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. At least that appears to be the motto of the provincial government as it takes yet another stab at fixing its relationship with TransLink. This time, Victoria will attempt to empower the Metro mayors’ council that it previously emasculated in the last reform under then-transportation minister Kevin Falcon. Excuse us if we aren’t convinced that this sop to get the mayors to back Christy Clark’s election promise for a referendum on transportation funding will do anything to change the dysfunctional relationship between regional mayors and the province. At first glance, the latest change looks like a good deal. If approved, the legislation would make the mayors’ council responsible for approving longterm strategies and investment plans, and figuring out how to pay for them, instead of merely rubber-stamping the work done by a professional board. The mayors would also take over the budget and staff of the former TransLink commissioner, with the power to approve fare increases and sell assets. But then there is also this: The mayors get to be in the hot seat for TransLink complaints and customer satisfaction – previously the job of the impartial commissioner. For this hand-over of responsibilities, the mayors would get the plum of saying when and what the referendum question will be with the caveat that they have to meet the province’s deadline of June 2015. All of this ignores the fact of where the real power lies – in the hands of the provincial government, which pays lip service to regional decisionmaking, putting TransLink up as a straw man and then toppling it when it chooses to. For example, if the province wants SkyTrain technology, that’s what residents will get. If Victoria wants the Massey Tunnel replaced, that’s where the money will go. The province gets the photo ops on the big infrastructure while the mayors get to fiddle with the small stuff on the margin that no one wants to pay for. If this is the province’s best offer, we’d hate to see what the worst offer would be.

About one million of us now have the newest version, with a credit-card style digital chip that proves your residence and eligibility for our famously “free” medical care. The motor vehicle office started issuing them about a year ago, as five-year licences expire. They replace the old “CareCard” that has no expiry date. Over the years there were more than nine million CareCards issued, twice the population of B.C., as people held onto their access to our defenseless, overworked medical system from wherever they moved to. Positive identification is only the start for this card. Each will be assigned a password that gives access to online medical records, so when patients show up at an ER, their

Some older readers won’t be thrilled to hear about this. They don’t want a “smart phone,” just a phone. But they will also see their great-grandchildren becoming adept with tablet computers before they can even speak. Seniors will get the hang of it pretty quickly, and their lives will become easier. • A correction to last week’s column on the Agricultural Land Commission.

No suite deal for family members

TWO YEARS ago, my husband and I decided to

renovate our basement for our adult daughter. As there are no options in Surrey to create an independent living space in your home for a family member other than to build a legal basement suite, we paid for the permit and began working on it as time allowed. Although the permit remains open, each year the city charges us $1,400 in taxes to provide services for a suite that is under con-

struction. When our daughter moves from an upstairs room to downstairs, we will continue to pay even though the household occupancy hasn’t increased and we aren’t generating income revenue. While it doesn’t make sense to pay for utilities for an unfinished suite, “the City does not have a mechanism to change the way the charge is applied”, according to the City of Surrey.

Appreciating my dissatisfaction, it was further suggested that our utility bill could be approximately three times less if we let the city install a free water meter. Not only are we are being charged for the services we aren’t using, we are being overcharged. Two wrongs and no right for the City of Surrey. Karen Janeway Surrey

Monthly ‘legacy’ fees are punishment

THE INCREASE in BC Hydro bills, as Brian Pettie points out in his letter to the editor (The Leader, March 25), comes as no surprise to those who have followed the advent of smart meters in other jurisdictions. It has happened everywhere smart meters have been introduced and the explanations of the utility companies are not to be believed. In Ontario, for instance, increases were reported of up to 80 per cent and it was not just a one-time incident, as BC Hydro suggested in their explanation to Mr. Pettie. In Gard Penny’s letter, he asks why he should have to pay for a service not being provided. All the resisters are paying for service not provided. I, too, have opted to hang onto my analogue meter. Although there are no access issues on my property, I have been informed by BC Hydro that my meter will now be read every other month and I will receive a bill from them only every other month. However, I am being charged the “legacy meter” fee of $35 every single month. The simple truth is – let’s call a spade a spade– the fee is not about helping to maintain a meter-reading department. It is all about punishing those of us who are resisting BC Hydro’s coercive tactics as they implement their flawed smart grid.

FILE PHOTO / THE LEADER

Letter writers have different points of view when it comes to the costs associated with BC Hydro customers choosing to keep analogue meters, rather than having smart meters (above) installed.

C.A. Archibald, Surrey

There is a cost to maintaining old technology THE INSTALLATION of smart meters

is resulting in fewer estimated bills for BC Hydro customers and fewer manual meter reading errors.

Running out of recycling time

For customers who have elected to retain an old meter, we make every effort to obtain actual meter readings. However, there are a variety of reasons why we may need to estimate a bill including not being able to physically access the meter. When BC Hydro has to estimate a bill, the estimate is adjusted to an actual meter read as soon as possible. If the estimate provided was over or under the actual meter read, the bill will be corrected to match the actual reading taken. Ninety-nine per cent of BC

Hydro customers now have a modern meter and 97 per cent of these customers have been transitioned to automated billing which eliminates the need for manual meter reading and bill estimates. The decision to charge costrecovery fees for customers who don’t want smart meters ensures the rest of BC Hydro’s customers aren’t subsidizing the personal choices of a very small number of people who want to continue using a system that is increasingly obsolete and costly to support. The additional fees include more than just reading the meter.

RE: “RECYCLING change ‘not good for Surrey’,” March 27

Apparently there’s plenty of vocal and well-published opposition from newspaper profit-margin interests. Rather than focus all of their protest against the government’s new recycling plan on the bottom-line effects, why not actually do something environmentally progressive? Perhaps, say every Earth Day, run editorials about adding many-fold more items to the short lists of recyclables. It would truly be refreshing to read opinion pieces, for a change, actually critical of budgetary red ink, however little or great, being conveniently utilized by our governments as an excuse to not recycle so very many materials circulating throughout society. It would be encouraging to see published serious critiques against the essentially gratuitous dumping of such materials into landfills and the

air pollution created from their burning. If need be, any red-ink monetary losses should and could be recouped by placing larger recycling fees upon all purchasable items, rather than just the current relatively few (e.g. bottles). Perhaps if enough people, likely those who are already inclined to recycle as much as is currently allowed by recycling box rules, begin to place more non-accepted solids into such boxes, the powers that be might feel far more compelled to adapt/equip the recycling plants to enable the recycling of such solids, if not others. We’ve already wasted way too much material and especially ecologically limited time. Frank G. Sterle, Jr.

Make French immersion a priority PARENTS IN Surrey have been going

to incredible lengths to get their children registered in the popular French immersion program for September 2014. A few weeks ago, parents like Erin McCall and Fiona McLeod, spent hours calling a Surrey School District registration hotline trying, in vain, to be one of the lucky few to get a coveted kindergarten spot in a local French immersion program. There were stories of some families organizing “call-parties” to increase their chances to make it through. Erin and Fiona’s children are currently on French immersion waiting lists for the coming school year – they’re number 18 and 26 respectively. It’s almost certain their children will be turned away. Unfortunately, there are many more Surrey families in a similar situation. The Surrey School District is one of the fastest-growing districts in the province. This year there are 72,273 students in the district – a 3,164-student increase over five years. Given the demand for French immersion programs in Surrey, it seems sensible that the district would develop a plan to expand French immersion programs and create additional opportunities. In the Victoria school district, more than 17 per cent of all students are enrolled in the French immersion program; in Surrey it’s less than five per cent. The provincial average for French immersion participation is 8.8 per cent, and growing at a steady pace. Parents in Surrey are looking to challenge their children and want them to have all the benefits of learning an additional language. According to the latest federal census, official-language bilinguals make, on average, 10 per cent more and have an unemployment rate three-percent lower than their monolingual counterparts. There are also the countless studies that point to the cognitive, social, and cultural developments one gains by learning multiple languages.. We encourage all parents and families who are on wait lists in Surrey to reach out, to get organized, and to make your voices heard to school district staff and school trustees. Given the strong demand from parents, we call on the Surrey School District to make French immersion accessibility and equal opportunity a priority. Let’s create those wonderful life-changing opportunities for all children in Surrey. Glyn Lewis, Executive Director Canadian Parents for French BC & Yukon

final plan for Vancouver’s Hastings Park would include a parkour course. However, as dangerous as it may seem at first glance, City of Surrey staff says they’re not too concerned with the potential liability issues of a parkour course. “The city has been pretty good at looking at what people are interested in and finding safe ways for them to do it,” said Croy. “We expect that this course will have great obstacles, great climbing devices, things for jumping from item to item.

Parks Manager Owen Croy said a parkour course is “almost certain to be” in the final plans for Hazelgrove Park. “What form it might take might vary a little bit when the detailed design is done,” said Croy, “but we’re pretty intent on having a parkour course there for sure.” Originating in France more than 20 years ago, parkour has seen a rise in popularity throughout the Lower Mainland in recent years.

Prudence goes home Emaciated Doberman nursed back to good health by Warren Jané

AT LESS than a year old, Prudence has been through a lot in her life. The Doberman puppy was dropped off at a veterinary clinic in December by a passerby who had found her on the side of the road, close to death. The brown-and-black pup was starving, emaciated and suffering from a serious case of demodectic mange – a mite infestation. She also weighed in at just 28 pounds, when the average Doberman of her age would weigh 40 pounds. “She was in pretty horrific condition, but still alive,” says Kim Marosevich, animal care and control manager at the Surrey Animal Resource Centre. “So they contacted the shelter and we began treatment with her.” Marosevich says none of the health issues were life-threatening on their own, but the extent of the neglect left Prudence severely malnourished with open sores and almost no hair left on her body. “If she had just received the basic necessities of life right from the beginning, she wouldn’t have suffered from any of those things,” says Marosevich. “When they are allowed to deteriorate to that point, it really does become a life-or-death situation for that animal.” After a story was published in the Leader, members of the community started reaching out with hopes of saving the dog – named Prudence by the animal centre’s staff after The Beatles’ song Dear Prudence. Soon Prudence was taken in by a woman in the dog care industry who was able to look after her, give her medicated baths and weekly visits to the vet, as well as ensure that Prudence got back to a healthy body weight. After more than three months in foster care, Prudence has grown almost all of her coat back and was barely recognizable from the shaking, scared, little puppy that was dropped off at the vet clinic in December. Marosevich says that aside from Prudence being a little smaller than average due to being malnourished during her early growing months,

Thanks to the Surrey Animal Resource Centre, Prudence has come a long way since being found near death on a road in Surrey last December.

the difference is “night and day.” After a couple of meet-and-greet visits, Prudence was adopted by a dog care professional from the North Shore who will be able to properly care for her. “It’s hard to recognize her,” says Marosevich. “For her new mom, nobody will ever have any idea how she looked and what kind of condition she was in when she showed up here. They’ll see a normal, happy, healthy, well-socialized, well-trained dog. It’s a complete 180.” Marosevich says outcomes like this one make all the other difficult parts of her job much easier to bear and she feels confident Prudence has a bright future. “From this point forward, it’s all blue skies.”

Proof of identity for medical care may also be used for online booking of medical appointments. “First of all we need to make sure that only people who are entitled to health care services in British Columbia are getting them, and secondly we have to make sure that we have the right person, the right John Smith who shows up in the emergency room after an accident and can’t speak for himself,” Wilkinson said. “With the services card they’ll have a unique identifier that connects them with the proper medical records and establishes that they’re entitled to care.” The cards are issued to replace the current driver’s licences, for the same $75 fee. For people who don’t drive, a similar card with only medical identity is available at no charge.

Five-year jail sentence for armed North Delta break-in

New Patients Welcome

Yonatan Abraham Kassa was part of 2011 home invasion

by Sheila Reynolds

A MAN has been sen-

tence to five years in jail for his role in an armed home invasion in North Delta in 2011. Yonatan Abraham Kassa, 28, earlier pleaded guilty to three charges – break and enter, using an imitation firearm and theft over $5,000 – in connection with an August 2011 home invasion on Fairfield Place (off 72 Avenue and 112 Street) in North Delta. It was on that night that Kassa and some associates, after casing the house, smashed

through the front door. Despite thinking the house was empty, there was a man and woman inside, who immediately fled and hid in a shed outside. The home was ransacked and two small safes were stolen, as well as computers, cellphones and brand name handbags. Before they left, two other people interrupted the theft – a lawn care employee who left when told to, and a neighbour who quickly charged in and out when a gun was raised. Unbeknownst to

them, Kassa and his associates were under police surveillance the entire time. When officers closed in on them in a van at a nearby mall, they discovered not only the stolen items, but a home invasion kit that included bear spray, balaclavas, change of licence plate and tools. There was also a firearm and an imitation gun. Kassa was sentenced in early March in B.C. Supreme Court but the decision was just posted online this week. Kassa, who was involved in the drug

trade, has already spent two years in custody and has a past criminal record that includes trafficking, possession, trespassing and break and enter. With credit for time served, he has just over three years remaining on the current sentence. In his written reasons for sentencing, Justice Robert Crawford referred to the sanctity of a person’s home. “People are entitled to feel free and secure in their residence,” he said. “Society cannot tolerate criminal intrusion into the privacy of the

home, otherwise people start resorting – as we see south of the border – having guns in their home and sometimes quite innocent people on their doorstep get blown away.” Crawford said the “saving grace” in this case was that the people in the house, as well as those that showed up, left as quickly as possible before any violence ensued.

The also took a gold-coloured disc pendant containing the ashes of her mother, who died just over two years ago. The disc wasn’t real gold, and would have been worthless to anyone else, Erskine says. The following day, her son saw someone riding a bike while wearing his hat, which had also been stolen. Her son grabbed him, and after a tussle, the man in his 30s took off. As he did, he left behind other stolen items, but there was

still no sign of the ashes. Police scoured the area, but found no perpetrator. Erskine feels she’s out of options, and desperately wants her mother’s ashes back.

The BC Government is proposing to ofﬂoad the province’s world-class recycling programs, run by local municipalities, to an association led by big multi-national corporations. The idea is that we’ll get a better, more efﬁcient program that costs taxpayers less.

Currently, BC homeowners only pay, on average, $35 a year for curbside recycling. Under the proposed regime, you’ll pay more. Every time you bring home a pizza, buy toilet paper,

Unfortunately, what we’ll really end up with is anyone’s guess.

How much more? Well, nobody’s saying.

The association isn’t guaranteeing that we’ll get a better program, or even one as good as the current Blue Box program already in place. Since the association is led by big businesses outside of BC, many of whom are not even headquartered in Canada, one could presume that proﬁts will come before environmental stewardship. They usually do. They also won’t guarantee that there won’t be any job cuts here in BC.

Here’s the only thing anyone does know: we already have a Blue Box program that works, is efficient, managed locally and puts the BC environment first. So why is the BC government flipping a coin, bringing in a questionable recycling program that some of our local elected officials are already calling a “scam?”

And how is this supposed to make things better for BC?

or pretty much anything else that comes in a package, businesses will be passing their increased costs on to you.

It’s time to contact Premier Clark and ask her.

What’s going on here?

SFU president cautions province on trades focus expansion of SFU’s Surrey campus in the city’s burgeoning city centre over the next 10 years. New offerings would fall in three major areas – energy systems engineering, health technologies and creative technologies. Petter said the Surrey expansion strategy is underpinned by the large youthful demographic in the area as well as the city’s rapid growth. “Here in Surrey it would be tragic to see such a large potential contributing labour force instead undervalued and not given the opportunity to reach their full potential.”

SIMON FRASER University president Andrew Petter is cautioning the province against a major shift in advanced education budget dollars from universities to trades training. Petter spoke to members of the Surrey Board of Trade on Tuesday, arguing skills shortages are actually forecast to be more acute for collegeand university-trained workers in the years ahead than in trades. “We’re in a highly competitive global knowledge-based economy,” Petter said. “Our capacity to exploit our natural resource base depends upon having not only skilled labourers, but having the kinds of engineers, entrepreneurs, managers and business people to market and deliver those resources in a way that exacts the maximum value.”

APRIL

IS THE MONTH TO

FIGHT BACK During National Volunteer Week The Canadian Cancer Society would like to say “THANK YOU” and celebrate the contribution of our volunteers across all communities in the Fraser Valley. Thanks to you, we’re investing in life-saving cancer research, prevention programs and improving the quality of life of people living with cancer through information and support programs. During April our volunteers will be in your community with daffodil pins and door to door canvassing.

heavily to non-profit organizations, churches, hospitals, charities and community and special events. Without volunteers, many of these operations would simply cease to exist, or the services they provide would be significantly reduced. “We couldn’t do what we do without our volunteers,” says Milt Kruger, president of the BC Seniors Games host society. “We require about 1,500 dedicated volunteers – some of whom are highly skilled in their area – to ensure the Games is a success.” The BC Seniors Games are scheduled for Sept. 9 to 13 in Langley this year.

National Volunteer Week is so important — it’s a way to say thanks for all the work they do.” According to Statistics Canada, the number of volunteers in the country has been on the rise since 2007. While younger people (aged 15 to 24) are more likely to volunteer, seniors volunteer the greatest number of hours, totalling 223 annually. Statistics Canada also notes that people who volunteer tend to be more knowledgeable on subjects such as equality, health and the environment.

Club of Surrey Central City was granted official chapter status on March 29, making it one of the few chapters for young professionals worldwide. “Most Rotary Clubs are all ages, but it’s kind of an aging organization,” said founding president Denny Hollick. Hollick noted that the only other young professional chapters he knows of are in Alberta, Portland and California. “We’re definitely the only one in B.C., that’s for sure,” he said. The Central City chapter is made up of 25 individuals ranging from 23 to 39 years of age. The club, whose mantra is “service above self,” aims to take on humanitarian challenges and “catalyze positive change in the community.” Projects on the agenda for the new chapter are supplying sewing machines for a school in Kenya with the goal of creating jobs and giving the school a means to support itself, as well as teaming up with a local housing organization to build a garden to grow fresh food for the homeless.

People desperate for parks, senior says Seventy-eight-year-old Surrey resident lobbies for trees and green space in Grandview Heights

by Alex Browne

A SOUTH Surrey senior

is fighting to keep her neighborhood green. Grandview Heights resident Sybil Rowe, 78, wants to make sure that “majestic evergreens” along 168 Street from 24 Avenue to 32 Avenue – she feels they’re integral to the character of her neighbourhood – receive heritage designation in future development plans for the area. And she wants the city to dedicate a nine-acre property – a former horse farm – one the east side of 168 Street (in the 2700 block) as a park. She’s gathered 730 signatures from area residents as part of a petition supporting her proposal. Council has referred her application to appear as a delegation to an April 16 meeting of the Parks, Recreation and

Sport Tourism committee, rather than before council – something Rowe is not happy about. She feels that a discussion at committee level has no guarantee of taking an issue any further. “A committee has no power to make decisions,” she said. “Mayor and council have that power.” Having gone door to door gathering signatures since January, she feels “slighted” by the decision, she said. “All these people who signed my petition trusted me – I feel I owe them something,” she said. “I spoke with each and every one of these people,” she wrote in the text of her presentation, noting that residents expressed “sadness, fear and anger, and above all, their feelings of impotence in the face of

this relentless movement to urbanize Grandview Heights.” City clerk Jane Sullivan explained that referring a delegation request to an advisory committee is often done to gain more information about the issues involved. “The biggest thing is that by going to committee there’s more in-depth discussion,” she said. Rowe said her own views have evolved during the process of canvassing neighbours.

While she began with a concern for protecting the trees that made her home on 26 Avenue seem like “a paradise” when she first moved in 12 years ago, she has realized that voracious patterns of high-density development without adequate planning for park areas destroys, rather than creates, neighbourhoods. “People are desperate for parks,” she said, adding that she is not opposed to orderly

development, provided it can retain some of the area’s “natural splendour.” And although she will take her presentation to the April 16 committee meeting, Rowe remains determined that the voices of those who signed her petition will be heard. The simplest way would be for council to hear her delegation, she said. “Let’s face it,” she said. “I’m a damn nuisance at city hall.”

Hearings start next year on Kinder Morgan twinning by Jeff Nagel THE NATIONAL Energy Board (NEB) will let more

than three-quarters of the 2,100 individuals and organizations that applied participate to some degree in upcoming hearings into the proposed twinning of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain oil pipeline. But critics say most participants will be limited to a written statement and denied the chance to speak directly to the board when oral hearings begin in early 2015. Several municipalities are among the 400 applicants granted intervenor status. The other 1,250 approved by the NEB have only commenter status, which is limited to a written statement. Another 450 were excluded altogether. “A lot of people’s applications were downgraded,” said Burnaby-Douglas NDP MP Kennedy Stewart. “They’re cutting people out of the process.” The Conservative federal government altered the NEB hearing process after the lengthy Northern Gateway pipeline hearings, eliminating the option for commenters to speak and requiring applicants demonstrate they’re directly impacted by the project or hold relevant expertise. “It’s a sad day for democracy in Canada, when nearly a thousand people who stepped up to take part in a complex regulatory process to have their say about a project of national significance are shut out of the hearings,” said Christianne Wilhelmson of the Georgia Strait Alliance, which was granted intervenor status. The $5.4-billion project would twin the 60-yearold oil pipeline that runs from northern Alberta to Burnaby, nearly tripling capacity to 890,000 barrels

per day, and resulting in a five-fold jump in the number of oil tankers passing through Vancouver harbour. The second 1,150-kilometre line would carry mainly diluted bitumen for export to Asia. The municipalities of Victoria, Vancouver, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Burnaby, Port Moody, Belcarra, Coquitlam, New Westminster, Richmond, Surrey, White Rock, Langley Township, Abbotsford and Hope were all approved as intervenors, along with the Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley regional districts. Other intervenors include the federal NDP, Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver, numerous First Nations and environmental groups, oil companies, Enbridge’s Northern Gateway project, unions, and the B.C. and Alberta governments. There will be 12 topics up for discussion at the hearings, including potential environmental and social effects of the project, cumulative environmental effects, the potential impact of tanker shipping, aboriginal impacts, contingency planning for spills, accidents and malfunctions and the economic feasibility of the project. Off limits are discussions about the impacts of exploiting Alberta’s oil sands as well as climate change impacts from eventually burning the oil. The full oral hearings begin next January, but aboriginal traditional evidence will first be heard this August and September. The NEB has declared Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expansion application to be complete. A report by the NEB on the project, along with recommendations to the government, is required by July of 2015. A final decision is up to the federal cabinet but the B.C. government says the project will also be subject to its five conditions for new heavy oil pipelines.

Review coal impacts: NDP Critics say an independent health assessment is needed by Jeff Nagel THE NDP is calling on Port Metro

Vancouver to subject a coal export terminal proposal by Fraser Surrey Docks to a comprehensive independent health impact assessment. A letter from mining critic Scott Fraser and health critic Judy Darcy said a more detailed assessment – requested by Fraser Health and Vancouver Coastal chief medical health officers

– could address legitimate questions being raised. “We strongly urge you to agree to these requests,” Darcy and Fraser said. “Ignoring the very real public concerns that have been raised concerning this project threatens to tarnish the port’s reputation and undermine its credibility as a regulator.” The NDP MLAs say they don’t dispute the value of coal mining to B.C. It comes a month after three

Surrey-area BC Liberal MLAs cautioned the port against excluding the health officers from the further review of the proposal coal terminal it has ordered. The proposed $15-million coal terminal would bring more coal trains through White Rock, Surrey and Delta. The terminal would send coal barges down the Fraser River to Texada Island, for transfer to ocean-going ships.

ning genetically modified foods, according to a new Insights West poll. The online survey found two-thirds of B.C. residents had a negative opinion of genetically modified (GM) foods. Most processed food sold in stores contains at least some GM ingredients, such as corn, soy or canola that’s genetically engineered to resist pests or herbicides. Canada has no mandatory labelling for food made from genetically modified organisms (GMOs), but some producers use a “non-GMO” marketing logo on their packages to identify their independently verified use of GM-free crops and ingredients. Insights West Vice-President Mario Canseco said

B.C. and Alberta residents who dislike GM foods tend to see them as unhealthy and unnatural. The poll found B.C. respondents with a positive view of GM foods believe they will help increase food production, while supportive Albertans think they can help eliminate hunger. Women were more likely than men to oppose GM foods, as were B.C. residents compared to Albertans. Sixty-five per cent of B.C. women surveyed were in favour of a ban, compared to 45 per cent of men. Only about one-third of B.C. residents polled said they always or frequently check products for GM labelling, while 37 per cent said they check that their purchases are organic and around 60 per cent said they check labels for the calories, fat and sodium content.

Since my husband won’t enter it is up to me to set the example for both of us. We are a great team and we seem to lose and gain weight at the same time. I know when I am motivated so is he. I have very high blood pressure and worry as I get older that things will only go downhill from here. I hate to think that my best days are behind me. I want to be healthy and happy. I know with the knowledge and support I can do this. I am sick tired of feeling tired and insecure about myself and want this life change to start a new chapter in my life.

Bonneville excels on pitch with the boys Female rugby player suits up for boys under-15 team on Bermuda tour by Rick Kupchuk

t was never Tanika Bonneville’s plan to play rugby with the boys. Really, she just wanted to go to Bermuda. But upon hearing of the rugby tour – and hearing back from organizer Rick Bourne that it was only boys teams heading south – she asked if she could join the U15 team, anyway. Then, a few emails and confirmations later, and the 14-year-old Elgin Park Secondary student was packing a bag for the Caribbean where she was joined by other U13, U14 and U15 boys from B.C. and Newfoundland. While in Bermuda, the B.C. squads opened with a series of sevena-side games, and then followed that a day later with a fun, less formal day of beach rugby. The final two days were spent playing 15-a-side games against a pair of Bermuda rugby academies. And though it was not a defacto national team – considering the players were culled from just two provinces – the players still wore the Maple Leaf on their uniforms for a weeklong Canadian youth rugby tour in Bermuda from March 13-20. Aside from Bonneville, the touring group of 85 players also included

Tanika Bonneville shrugs off a pair of tacklers during an intrasquad game with her teammates in Bermuda. her younger brother, Royce, who suited up for the U13 team, and two Bayside Rugby members, Quinton Brown and Thomas Blackburn. But it was Bonneville, as the only girl in a rough-and-tumble sport, who drew much of the attention, especially from the opposition Bermudans, many of whom were still relatively new to the sport. But Bonneville – a multi-sport athlete who only took up rugby last year – was undeterred by the attention and,

in fact, handled herself quite well on the pitch against competition that was bigger, stronger and often a few years older than her. Bonneville plays prop, which means she was right in middle of every

scrum. “It was great. It was just a really fantastic learning experience,” said Bonneville. “And getting to wear a Canada jersey, that was really cool.” Though she admits

to some early jitters, her confidence in the boys’ game was buoyed when, in one game, she lined up against an opposing player who tipped the scales at more than 350 pounds. “It was a little nervewracking, definitely. The hardest game of my life. And I think he was kind of nervous for me, too,” she laughed. “But I felt comfortable with it. It’s more about skill than size… everyone who was there – coaches, parents, my teammates – they had faith in me and knew I’d be OK.” She did more than just OK, in fact. Andy Blackburn – father of Thomas Blackburn – was on the trip, and was continually amazed at how well Bonneville stacked up on the pitch. “She’s a very talented player, and it really was an achievement for a girl that age, who is still fairly new to the sport, to go up against those 300-pounders,” he said. “And she more than

just held her own – she was a standout. She blew people away.” Bonneville – who was awarded a “sportswoman-ship” award at the conclusion of the tour – has been impressing people long before Bermuda, however. Just 14, she already plays at a U18 level in club rugby, and is on Elgin Park’s senior girls rugby team, coached by longtime EPS coach Johan Mynhardt. In fact, it was Mynhardt, who also teaches metal shop at the South Surrey school, who first prodded Bonneville to give rugby a try. Ironically, the invite came moments after she’d upstaged a room full of boys. “I was in Grade 8, in metal shop, and there was a big lever that we had to pull in class,” she explained.

“None of the boys could do it, and (Mynhardt) asked me to try, so I did, and I pulled it down. “Right then, he said, ‘you’re going to play rugby.’” Bonneville initially rebuked the rugby invite because she was too tied up playing basketball and volleyball, but once her schedule cleared up in the spring, she decided to give the sport a try. She loved it right away, and in less than a year she was playing with the seniors. It was partly that experience that kept her nerves calm when facing older boys on the pitch in Bermuda. “I’m used to playing against bigger, older players,” she explained. “I’ve been out of my element for awhile now. I’m used to it.”

second consecutive Esso Cup female Midget hockey national championship tournament, with five local players making the trip. The Phantom swept the Okanagan Rockets 2-0 and 1-0 in a best-of-three BC Hockey championship series at the Langley Sportsplex this past weekend. Surrey residents on the Phantom include forwards Katelin Korman and Mackenzie Wong, and defenders Mandy Pollock and Taygen Rosner. Cloverdale resident Morgan Symington is a goaltender. The Phantom finished first in the six-team league this season with a 22-1-7 (won-lost-tied) record, and defeated the West Coast Avalanche 2-1 in a best-of-three semifinal series. Fraser Valley is the only team from B.C. to have played in an Esso Cup tournament, placing fifth at the eight-team event they hosted last year in Burnaby. This year’s tournament is April 20-26 in Stoney Creek, Ontario. The host team as well as regional champions from British Columbia, Alberta, West (Saskatchewan/Manitoba), Ontario and Atlantic (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island) will play a round robin series, with four teams qualifying of the playoff round.

Kidney facts: • Kidneys remove excess water from the body or retain water when the body needs more. • Kidneys remove excess minerals, such as sodium and potassium, which are excreted from the body in the urine. The kidneys also help to regulate the levels of other minerals such as calcium and phosphate, which are important for the formation of bone. • Kidneys release hormones that regulate some body functions such as blood pressure, the making of red blood cells, and the uptake of calcium from the intestine • When the kidneys fail, wastes and fluids accumulate in the body and dialysis treatments or kidney transplants are needed to clean your blood. Transplants are limited by the number of donors available. Source: The Kidney Foundation of Canada

Colourful violas are among the best coolloving plants. They love morning sun and afternoon shade, and when it does finally become warmer, they will keep going for the longest time. Two new series of smaller flowered mimulus, called Calypso and Magic, have such vibrant colours and unusual flowers that they capture everyone’s attention. They also come in separate colours to create some interesting combinations. The ivory, ivory bi-colour, yellow, yellow bi-colour, orange, red and crimson varieties, blended with

blue violas, are simply breathtaking. Plant them in shady spots for the best longlasting results. You’ll be amazed how well they perform in cool temperatures. Marguerite daisies are truly remarkable plants that simply bloom their hearts out in early cool weather. Today, their compact habit and wide range of colours, from yellows, whites and pinks to reds and bronzeorange make them versatile in many situations. What are the best cool-loving plants for a great display? By far and away, the top performers are violas and pansies. Pansies may be old-fashioned favourites, but the colour range of pansies today is fabulous, especially some of the new designer colours like creams, pink blends and happy, bright citrus blends. My latest favourite is the new Matrix Morpheus. It’s a distinctive bicolour with mid-blue upper petals and bright yellow lower petals. Talk about standing out in a crowd. The new varieties

of violas, the Penny and the Sorbet series, have improved size, a colour range to blow your socks off and a flowering time that beats them all. Compared to pansies, their smaller blossoms make them less formal and even more charming, and they have the ability to blend

with everything in your garden from early bulbs to primulas. These are the colour plants you need now for your garden to give both of you a lift. These are the plants that will take the weather abuse and keep on giving. These are the “feel good now and even better later” plants. Mari-

golds, salvias, geraniums and petunias are already in some garden stores and even though it’s tempting, hold off planting them until at least mid- to late May – they need warmth to thrive. Brian Minter is a master gardener who operates Minter Gardens in Chilliwack.
