by police in a city park after sunset, as Mounties ramp up patrols of Surrey parks. In the past nine years, the number of people cited for infractions in Surrey parks has tripled, and those busted for being in a park after dark has skyrocketed by 2,200 per cent. If you are surprised you can’t be in a park after dusk or before dawn, you may be equally shocked to learn you can’t fish or angle in any lake or stream (except in designated areas), according to Surrey Bylaw no. 13480. If you want to play tennis, lawn bowling, shuffleboard or any other game on a court, proper footwear must be worn. There is no golf allowed in Surrey parks and no use of remote-controlled aircraft or cars within Surrey parks. No beer or any other alcohol is permitted in Surrey parks “at any time.” Selling any refreshments within a city park is verboten, and you can’t feed the birds. If you have a dog with Coun. Barinder you, it cannot splash around Rasode in any body of water in Surrey parks, including at beaches, except in an area designated for such activity. And if you want to hold a meeting or a ceremony in a park on a lovely sunny afternoon, don’t even try it without the proper permission. In all, the number of fines handed out in Surrey parks since 2005 has tripled. Nine years ago, 257 tickets were issued. That has grown steadily to 791 citations last year.

Ex-Surrey teacher suspended for eight months

While Queen Elizabeth Secondary School science and math teacher Michael Glenister – who is also a magician – might like to make the government disappear, for now he ‘levitates’ Grade 12 student Pooja Raj during strike action on Thursday afternoon outside the school. Teachers’ rotating strikes continue this week.

Lennard Nikolai made derogatory comments in girls P.E. class by Sheila Reynolds A former Surrey teacher has been suspended from teaching in B.C. for most of the 2014/15 school year after making inappropriate and derogatory remarks during a Grade 9 girls’ gym class. According to a recent discipline decision by the B.C. Teacher Regulation Branch (BCTRB), Lennard Ray Nikolai was working as an oncall teacher at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary in April 2013 when he told students they would get a higher P.E. mark if they also played rugby or football. When a student said she played a different kind of football, Nikolai asked whether she Lennard played lingerie football. He Nikolai also referred to students collectively as “LG,” short for “little girls,” and in reference to a student’s clothing, said “anyone wearing pink shorts like that gets a 10.” When a student fell on her back (but wasn’t injured), he sarcastically asked if she needed CPR and made it clear he wouldn’t be the one doing it, and another time, exercised by himself while his students were playing kickball. Two days later, at Johnston Heights Secondary, Nikolai

Split opinion on HandyDart shift to taxis TransLink hears from fans, foes at Annual General Meeting in Surrey by Jeff Nagel TRANSLINK’S DECISION to carry more

HandyDart passengers via taxi was both jeered and cheered at the transportation authority’s annual general meeting in Surrey on Wednesday. HandyDart service levels have been frozen in recent years, but TransLink last year began dispatching more rides to taxis rather than HandyDart mini-vans and has just committed an extra $1 million to boost the share of taxi rides to nearly five per cent. That’s expected to provide an extra 30,000

rides this year and go much of the way to deal with the more than 42,000 service denials last year when would-be HandyDart riders couldn’t be transported due to lack of capacity. It’s a further expansion of TransLink’s strategy of shifting towards greater use of taxis after the idea was piloted last year by shifting 10,000 service hours from HandyDart mini-buses to taxis. Officials argue taxis are more flexible, cheaper and help the system reduce the number of service denials, which have soared in recent years as a result of a

funding freeze. Even with the increase, taxis will still account for less than five per cent of HandyDart-dispatched trips. The extra money is coming from TransLink’s operating surplus last year, lifting the HandyDart budget to about $58 million. But South Surrey videographer Alison MacLean said she was re-injured when a HandyDart-dispatched taxi driver jammed a senior with a walker into the same cab she was taking to Peace Arch Hospital last summer.

Police: Announce a crackdown in city parks for warm months From page 1 While police and city officials say the vigilance is needed to help prevent crime and keep the peace, some citizens say the shift is heavyhanded. It was 35 degrees Celsius last summer when 75-year-old Renata Hrdy allowed her leashed American Eskimo to wade into Green Timbers Lake to cool off. A bylaw officer approached and warned her she faced a $200 fine for allowing her dog to wade into the water. While she was walking seven-year-old Gabby, she saw plenty of other problems, including dog poop left on the trails, fishing line and hooks strewn through the lake and even a woman washing her baby’s dirty bum at the water’s edge. “I was angry, of course, my dog was on the leash. I couldn’t believe it,” Hrdy said. “All the time, nothing is done about anybody else, about what anybody else is doing.” Christopher Lewis

has been warned and ticketed for walking in the park at night. He says it’s strange that law-abiding citizens are getting tagged, while the unwanted element seems to get a free ride. “They’re not letting citizens not up to criminal activities enjoy them as evidenced by the fact I got a ticket for refusing to stop walking in the park at night,” he said. He said it’s ironic that the city is trying to build community atmosphere, while running people out of local parks at sundown. “It just doesn’t make sense to me at all,” Lewis said. “It just sends a bad message all around about public safety and whether or not you’d want to live in Surrey. “ At least one city councillor has a problem with that. “If the bylaw is being interpreted like that, then we have an issue,” said Surrey Coun. Barinder Rasode, who is running for mayor this fall. As to the other bylaws, she said it’s probably

Sgt. Dale Carr about time they were scrubbed from the books. “I think maybe it’s time we re-evaluate some of the bylaws we have on the books and strengthen others that need to be strengthened,” she said. Coun. Linda Hepner, who chairs the city’s parks’ committee, said she fully supports the bylaw. A member of the public who had been fined for being in the park after dark went to the committee two months ago and asked for changes to the bylaw. The committee declined to change it. “We get a lot of

complaints about people lingering, or loitering, in parks after dark,” Hepner said. “It makes people uneasy.” Hepner, who is also considering a run for the mayor’s chair this fall, said she’s supportive of the committee’s decision. “There’s lots of places that after dark people could be utilizing that are not in the public places such as parks,” said Hepner. “My understanding is there were lots of parties in parks, fires down at the beach, so they instituted the dusk (rule). And so far it has served us well.” Last week, Surrey RCMP announced a crackdown in city parks over the next several months. Police say with warmer weather coming, a blitz of city green spaces is under way. “We will be out making sure that people use the parks in a safe, lawabiding manner so that everyone can enjoy our city’s green spaces this summer,” said Surrey RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr. Mounties and Surrey bylaw officers are expected to be engaged in the blitz from May until October. In addition to a $200 fine for being in a park after dark, those found in possession of open liquor or consuming liquor in a public place may also face a fine of up to $230. The number of tickets handed out to people for being in Surrey parks after dark has skyrocketed since 2005. Nine years ago, 16 people were cited for being in a park after dark or before dawn. That figure climbed incrementally until 2011, when it shot up to 130. Then in 2012, there were 350 tickets issued, and last year, 314. The fines represents about $70,000 in annual revenue for Surrey. Police say the crackdown is necessary to get in front of problems such as public nuisance, property damage, drug use, graffiti, and other suspicious activity. Typically, police respond to public complaints. To report any illegal activities in the city’s parks or other areas, contact the Surrey RCMP’s non-emergency number at 604-5990502 or make a report online. In case of an emergency, call 911.

TransLink: Lauded by disabilities committee for its taxi program From page 3 “Taxis should only carry one passenger, but they’re not doing that because it’s all about cash flow,” said MacLean, who used HandyDart in 2009 and again in 2013 while recovering from knee surgery. “I saw a marked difference in the quality of service and access and everything else,” she said. “I was shocked – I didn’t understand how it could erode so drastically in three years.” Anmore resident Kimberley Yanko said her developmentally disabled son is housebound because he’s denied HandyDart service 40 per cent of the time. “It’s deplorable,” Yanko told TransLink executives. “I challenge each and every one of

Police, suspect exchange gunfire by Kevin Diakiw GUNFIRE WAS

exchanged between police and a man believed to be attempting to break into a Whalley business last week. RCMP were called to the Dell Shopping Mall at 8:45 p.m. Thursday after reports of a man trying to pry open the door of a business at the mall. The first officer on scene approached the suspect, who turned and fired a weapon at the RCMP member. The Mountie repositioned himself and fired back. The suspect then dropped his weapon and was taken into custody without further incident. No one was harmed in the exchange of gunfire, but the suspect was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure. Police seized a number of pieces of evidence from the scene including one firearm. Surrey RCMP contacted the Independent Investigations Office (IIO) in relation to the matter; however, they are not investigating as no one was injured. A 24-year-old Surrey man remains in custody. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

you to get in a wheelchair and not get out of it for a week and try to access your own system and see how that goes.” Other speakers, including unionized HandyDart drivers who have consistently fought the taxi shift as a threat to union jobs, urged TransLink to reconsider. But Jill Weiss, chair of the City of Vancouver’s Persons With Disabilities Committee, applauded the TransLink strategy and urged officials to commit even more money to taxis. She noted they cost half as much per ride as regular HandyDart and don’t cost TransLink money when a passenger isn’t on board. “When you’re paying for a taxi you pay only for the ride,” Weiss said. “You’re only paying for what you get. You don’t

have any waste. You don’t have any deadheading.” A 2012 audit called for more use of taxis as a key way TransLink could become more efficient and serve more disabled and elderly passengers. Weiss said the tactic is an international best practice. “In San Francisco they use 50 per cent taxis,” Weiss said. “They provide the same number of rides we do for half the amount of money.” B.C. Coalition of People With Disabilities executive director Jane Dyson also said she “fully supports” the taxi strategy, adding improved taxi driver training has made it safer. “For many people with health issues, the shared ride service just

does not work – the trips are too long,” Dyson said. She said a passenger backlash two years ago when TransLink tried to axe its TaxiSaver subsidy program was proof to her many HandyDart clients prefer taxis. But MacLean questioned the allegiance of the disability groups because they’ve worked with TransLink on the taxi rollout and accepted grant money. Researcher Eric Doherty called the protaxi advocates “naive” and said it’s too soon to declare success. He was the author of a 2013 report critical of HandyDart service denials in light of the region’s rising seniors population. Doherty’s report was funded by the union representing HandyDart drivers.

EDUCATION

Future is at stake

RAESIDE

tudents across the province missed a day of school last week, and will miss another day this week thanks to a rotating strike by teachers, as the contract dispute with the provincial government continues. This is unacceptable for everyone involved: students, parents, teachers, administrators, school districts and the provincial government. Teachers have legitimate concerns about the makeup of their classes and the extra demands being placed on them by continuing shifts in education policy. The government, for its part, has significant budgeting challenges, and teachers need to modify their wage demands significantly. Most importantly, both sides need to really focus on students, and not just pay lip service to the concept. The BC Public School Employers’ Association response to the job action is to lock out teachers and cut salaries by 10 per cent. This has done nothing to move the situation closer to a resolution. Strikes or lockouts – whether for a week, a day or even for a few calculated moments at a time – impact education. The BC Teachers’ Federation has said there will be more rotating strikes; this is simply unacceptable. The province agrees that depriving students of an education can not be condoned but is prepared, through the employers’ association, to lock out teachers at the end of the school year; equally unacceptable. The association has issued a directive that limits student-teacher contact. This is no better. Education is as essential as it has ever been. The global nature of the economy means that B.C. students will be competing with students from all parts of the world as they leave the school system. They will be competing for spaces in postsecondary institutions and for employment opportunities. Holding up their progress, for weeks or even months, due to a labour dispute will do immeasurable damage to their prospects. It might mean a difference in career opportunities and choices, restricting their future and ours. Regardless of the issues being negotiated, representatives from both sides need to compromise far more than they have thus far. Instead, it’s as if both sides are waging a popularity contest and only listening to their own yes-people, leaving our future leaders at risk.

he B.C. Liberal government’s bill to divide the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones has passed, after one of the nastier exchanges I’ve seen in a decade covering the B.C. legislature. “You’re all a bunch of corrupt liars,” NDP agriculture critic Nicholas Simons yelled as the government cut off a long and mostly repetitious debate that dominated the final days of the legislature session. Not to be outdone, cabinet minister Bill Bennett replied to Simons’ heckle about Kootenay rancher Faye Street, one of Bennett’s most vocal supporters as he pushed through changes to the land reserve to ease land use restrictions in rural zones. Bennett advised Simons to offer his remarks to Street in person. “She’ll kick your ass,” Bennett said. The on-the-record debate wasn’t much better. Columbia River-Revelstoke NDP MLA Norm Macdonald summed up his party’s biggest objection with his charge that “a bunch of Liberal political hacks” will be appointed to regional panels of the Agricultural Land Com-

put aside his partisan talking points and gave his personal assurance that the government’s intention is to support farming in those places where non-farm income is the only thing that keeps people on the land. As soon as the theatrics had died down, the B.C. NDP sent out a fundraising plea to its members to help “save” the ALR. The party is broke and desperate after losing its fourth straight election, and it hopes to activate its declining donor base by portraying the changes as the imminent slaughter of its most sacred cow. Voters have three years before the next election to assess this situation. If there is a flood of exclusions of prime agricultural land, then the NDP will be able to make its case that its warnings were at least partially true. If this does not take place, then the government’s position will be vindicated. We’ll find out the truth. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Surrey/North Delta Leader 7

Make your voice heard on bus stop I WOULD like to applaud Frank Bucholtz’s column (“No service? No more cash,” The Leader, May 22) regarding the appalling state of transit in Surrey. And specifically how Surrey has no access bus service over the Port Mann Bridge while buses to and from Langley zip past us. This lack of planning by the City of Surrey, TransLink and the B.C. Ministry of Transport is appalling. The 156 Street underpass was constructed for the installation of a transit

stop for North Surrey residents but nothing has been done so far. Ignoring the problem and feet dragging seems to be the order of business in B.C. when it comes to public transportation. There have been numerous columns on this issue but the so-called leadership in our city and province have done nothing to address it. The only way to fix this issue is to have our voices heard. I urge everyone who reads this column to

whip out their phones and contact the City of Surrey at 604-591-4011 and let them know that you would like the bus stop installed for Surrey. Email the city manager at city manager@surrey.ca and let him know that this is no way to run our beautiful city. If the City of Surrey can’t be bothered to do something about it, then its up to us, the residents, to step up. Daniel Badragan

There is help for cat owners at VOKRA

SIX WEEKS ago, a tabby cat named Maxine had ten kittens. Sadly, one didn’t survive, but the whole family of 10 is now in the loving care of one of VOKRA’s (Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association) foster homes in Surrey. It’s not easy work, but very rewarding. VOKRA wants to help cat guardians where cost is a hardship, to spay or neuter their cats. We received a generous grant from the Build-A-Bear Workshop Bear Hugs Foundation to help people living in Newton. Homeless cats in the area are also included. A female kitten can get pregnant at five months with multiple babies. VOKRA rescues many abandoned cats who are usually unfixed. Their behaviour improves and their health stabilizes after the operation. VOKRA took in 1,845 homeless cats last year alone. More than half were from Surrey and the surrounding areas. We look forward to the days when calls will be fewer because more cats have been spayed and neutered and well provided for. To get help for yourself or someone you know, email surreyvokra@live.com or call 604-538-3404.

Lockout will certainly impact students I, AND many others, are puzzled by how Education Minister Peter Fassbender could possibly stand in front of the media and state that class size is of no consequence in determining educational outcomes for students. Certainly there will be those who quote “research” supporting this view, but much more research supports improved student learning outcomes when students have more individual support from a teacher. The BC Public School Employer’s Association’s misguided partial lockout of public school educators started on May 26, with puzzling proclamations being made by BCPSEA’s lead negotiator, Peter Cameron. The letter sent from BCPSEA to the BCTF specifically prohibits teachers from working more than 45 minutes before classes in the morning, or more than 45 minutes after classes end. We are not even

allowed to work with students during our lunch at the risk of disciplinary action. And Mr. Cameron says while imposing this lockout they are, “trying to avoid impact on students.” These comments can be made with a straight face because it seems clear that Cameron, Fassbender and Christy Clark all have no idea how our schools and classrooms function. The results of BCPSEA’s tactics will most certainly impact

students, and will likely result in lower final grades, possible subject failures, and delayed graduation for some of our most vulnerable students. There could not be a worse time for the government to pull this type of provocative antic. As the year end nears, many teachers routinely offer out-ofclass tutorial times and exam prep sessions to help students prepare for their finals and provincial exams. At lunch time and after school, students seek out teachers

Garbage in, garbage out RE: “B.C.’S befuddling new blue box system is here,” The Leader, May 20.

for extra help or to catch up on work missed due to absence. None of this can happen now. I spend many hours organizing supplies, preparing materials and classrooms for lessons and cleaning up afterwards; this will be impossible in the two 45-minute allowances a day rather than the three to four hours I normally put in outside of class time. And marking? When might that happen? Report cards? Report cards are always done at home, on my unpaid time. They are homework, but we are directed by the BCPSEA letter not to do any “paid work” outside of our defined day. Right. No impact on students. But, thankfully, I do see that after the employer docks my pay 10 per cent they will allow me to continue providing my unpaid volunteer time and services for my students. Big of them.

Dangerous driving is getting worse FOR MANY years now I have

noticed the drivers in Newton becoming less and less aware of pedestrians. I now believe our families are in serious danger and it is time for the RCMP to focus on enforcing the laws. From the driving of unlicensed scooters on the sidewalk, to the blatant disregard of pedestrians in crosswalks, it is obvious that someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed. On Thursday, May 15 around 9:30 p.m., my daughter was crossing 68 Avenue heading south on the west crosswalk under the illuminated walk sign. The couple in the green van stopped at the red light heading east on 68 Avenue can attest to this as they acknowledged each other. As my daughter was about one-third the way through the intersection, a white van, travelling north on 132 Street, turned left unimpeded onto 68 Avenue westbound, heading into the crosswalk my daughter was on. She saw the van turning into her and not slowing. As she jumped backwards she had a glimpse of the van’s grill just before the van struck her purse without slowing. Shaken, she crossed the remainder of the street as the van braked to a stop. The couple in the green van both asked if she was okay and momentarily talked to the driver of the white van, who had stuck his head out the window to say “sorry, sorry”. In the end, my daughter was shaken but okay; we were very lucky. It is time that all the residents of Newton became aware that pedestrians in a crosswalk have the right of way. The RCMP must start enforcing this rule. It has gotten so bad that when I stand at our crosswalk on 132 Street only one car in 10 will stop. I encourage you to try this yourself and report the results in this forum. Careful though, don’t walk into the street until there are no cars around. It is high time that the RCMP start enforcing these rules to ensure all of our family’s safety.

teacher who was charged with possessing child pornography nine years ago and deemed a low risk to reoffend was sentenced last week to 90 days in jail for repeating the crime. Before learning his penalty, George Heinz Kraus told the court he realized the gravity of his second offence when he learned that the Toronto company he had bought movies from was the subject of a police investigation into child pornography; that it was not a victimless crime. “That’s where it hit me,” Kraus told Surrey Provincial Court Judge Ellen Gordon Wednesday. “The fact I was paying money to these people, it hit me very hard.” Kraus, 69, pleaded guilty last December to one count of possessing child pornography. The plea came less than three weeks before he was scheduled to be tried on charges of possessing and accessing the material. The

which Nikolai had been disciplined. The year prior, the Surrey School District disciplined Nikolai after he yelled and swore at students at Queen Elizabeth Secondary. In October 2012, when a Grade 9 boy hit him with a paper ball, Nikolai grabbed the student by the shirt, forcing him up against a wall so the student was on his toes and brought his face within centimetres of the student’s. Nikolai also kept replica weapons he had confiscated from students locked in his office, contrary to district policy. He was suspended for four months without pay, but it was only days after returning to work that he acted inappropriately in the gym class. The Surrey School District came to a settlement with Nikolai last year which included his resignation from the district effective June 29, 2013. Last month, the teacher regulation branch suspended his teaching certificate altogether for a period of eight months, beginning Sept. 1, 2014 until April 30, 2015. Prior to next April, Nikolai must complete an Identity and Boundaries course, as well as courses on anger management and conflict resolution.

Restraint won’t raise cash to expand system: CEO by Jeff Nagel MORE COST cutting

strengthened TransLink’s finances last year, but officials say it’s a blip that doesn’t alter the need for new revenue sources to fund expansion in the face of Metro Vancouver’s growth. The transportation authority reported a

$36.8 million surplus for 2013 – boosting its reserve fund up to $126 million – at its Wednesday annual general meeting. But critics there said the savings have come at a cost in reduced access to transit, including reduced SkyTrain frequency on weekends and ongoing bus service “optimization” that shifts resources from underperforming routes to others with unmet demand. TransLink board chair Marcella Szel acknowledged the frustration already felt on congested transit lines and said directors are particularly concerned about the system’s ability to keep pace with demand, as 30,000 to 40,000 new residents arrive each year. “There are communities being planned around transit and transit is not there,”

for new stations to raise cash. TransLink’s current plan counts on the sale of the Oakridge Transit Centre to generate more money for operations – something both Jarvis and Metro mayors agree is not financially responsible. Metro Vancouver mayors meet June 12 to debate and perhaps unveil a plan for TransLink expansion and proposed new taxes to fund it. If mayors sign off, it will be up to the province to decide if the package goes to a referendum of Metro voters. Potential revenue options range from an annual vehicle levy to a regional sales tax. Mayors council chair Richard Walton said he’s hoping for consensus and said a deal is close.

Szel said. “So people are using their cars when they probably would have chosen not to use one.” TransLink officials say they’ll continue working to build demand on routes slated for rapid transit – such as the new 96 B-Line down King George Boulevard in Surrey – and will be prepared to launch an expansion swiftly if approved by voters in an expected referendum next year.

New fees were approved at previously free park-and-ride lots and strategies are being pursued to make developers pay more around transit stations and add more revenuegenerating retail outlets.

Fixes eyed for dismal Compass cards still civic election turnout Report urges high school voter registration, online ballots

by Jeff Nagel

DISMAL VOTER turnout rates in municipal

elections could be improved through new tactics to make voting easier and more topof-mind, a new study suggests. The report “Getting the Majority to Vote” by the Columbia Institute notes 70 to 80 per cent of eligible voters didn’t vote in the last civic elections in 2011 in most of B.C. Vancouver, with higher profile municipal politicians and well-funded campaigns, did the best among B.C.’s bigger cities with 34.6 per cent turnout. But Surrey’s turnout was 25.2 per cent and several other Metro Vancouver cities fared even worse, with mayors and councils elected on turnouts ranging from 21 to 25 per cent in Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam and on the North Shore. Report author Norman Gludovatz recommends preregistration of teens while they’re still in high school in an attempt to develop life-long voting habits among youth, whose turnout is worse than older age groups. He also suggests handing out ‘I voted did you?’ stickers, recruiting celebrities to advocate for voting and even the use of incentives, like automatically entering voters in a lottery. “It is a real-world solution that has been proven to work,” the report says, citing a

Problems with new electronic transit passes in the process of being fixed by Jeff Nagel THERE’S STILL no firm word on when Trans-

Link’s already delayed Compass card will fully roll out. Officials say they’re moving slowly and waiting for provider Cubic Systems to fix some problems, such as unacceptably slow times for electronic readers to detect the cards. West Coast Express commuter rail passengers could be next in line to start using the new smart card in late summer. TransLink’s administration costs climbed 15.5 per cent last year to $28.2 million, mainly as a result of higher costs for technology, marketing and communications related to the Compass card project. Most of the transportation authority’s $1.4-billion annual budget goes directly to transit service. Ridership dropped two per cent to 234 million passengers in 2013, following a hike in transit fares.

MMBC rival to target recycling at apartments Gap in coverage spawns proposal

by Jeff Nagel

A NEWLY formed packaging and paper stewardship group says it will seek provincial approval so retailers and other firms now required to recycle their waste can have an alternative to paying into Multi-Material BC (MMBC). The new proposal comes from StewardChoice Enterprises, which is a subsidiary of Toronto-based Reclay StewardEdge, a consulting firm on sustainability issues that previously managed package recycle schemes in

Ontario and Manitoba. Development director Neil Hastie said the system would target roughly the 20 per cent of multi-family homes – mainly in the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island – that aren’t yet directly covered under MMBC’s system. “That’s a gap in coverage of the current program that we would propose to fill,” Hastie said. “We would be offering producers a choice.” MMBC launched May 19 to meet the provincial mandate that firms that distribute

packaging waste pay the costs of recycling it, but it has faced a backlash over high fees and lack of accountability from many companies, including gardening retailers and the newspaper industry. Asked if the system would directly compete with MMBC, Hastie instead called it a “complementary initiative” that would work in parallel with the newly launched but controversial packaging stewardship system. Existing waste haulers who already collect recyclables from multifamily buildings would

Most beverage containers and other packaging is now collected and processed for recycling under the direction of Multi-Material BC. continue to do so and take the materials to processors. Money paid by packaging generators to discharge their responsibility under B.C.’s recycling regulation would largely go to those haulers. But it’s unclear how StewardChoice’s niche offering could meet the province’s target of 75 per cent recycling of packaging and paper

waste for prospective members without them also being part of MMBC’s system. Hastie said more details will be released with a formal stewardship plan in mid-June. Some of the recyclables would be processed by the same contractor group that works for MMBC. Kelvin McCulloch, CEO of Buckerfield’s

farm supply stores and a leading opponent of MMBC, said it’s not yet clear to him if StewardChoice offers a true alternative. “Is it really competition or is it optics?” he asked. MMBC managing director Allen Langdon said StewardChoice’s proposal shows alternatives are possible. “It’s proof of what we

were saying all along that we’re not a monopoly,” he said. “There’s an open framework and people can come in at other times.” But Langdon said StewardChoice’s plan amounts to “cherry picking” that would run counter to MMBC’s aim of providing broad, consistent service across the province – a factor he said the province must weigh in deciding if it should be approved. London Drugs is one of the companies in discussions with StewardChoice. The retailer has yet to decide if it will stay with MMBC and seek to improve that system, or give termination notice to switch to either StewardChoice or a potential system of its own, said London Drugs chief operating officer Clint Mahlman. He said London Drugs has for years taken back packaging from customers and considers itself on the leading edge of retailer recycling. Mahlman said there’s been much misinformation circulated about MMBC, but added London Drugs would like to see improvements. “Unfortunately the MMBC program does not contemplate rewarding companies such as ourselves that have reduced packaging for years,” Mahlman said. “They have essentially leveled the playing field under this program.” He said there’s “not a lot of detail” yet on StewardChoice’s plan. Hastie said the aim is to send the program to public and stakeholder consultation this summer.

Metro organic trash ban is unworkable, critics say

Buy one, get one

Voluntary green bins have slashed household waste

EVENT!

by Jeff Nagel METRO VANCOUVER is preparing to impose a ban

on the disposal of organic food waste next year but restaurants are opposed to the idea and some regional politicians fear they may face a broader public backlash as well. The regional district intends to add organics to the list of items banned from the trash for homes and businesses as part of Metro’s strategy to boost recycling and slash the amount of garbage that must be burned or buried. Metro Vancouver has already seen a 30-per-cent drop in the average amount of garbage generated by single-family households between 2011 and 2013 that planners attribute to local cities’ rollout of organic curbside collection in green bins. “It’s been pretty substantial,” Metro solid waste division manager Paul Henderson said. Many cities cut their garbage pick-up frequency to every other week as weekly organic pick-up came on stream, spurring thousands of residents to use green bins and step up recycling of other items. Henderson thinks a formal ban on organic disposal will take that progress further, by sending an important signal that food should no longer go in the garbage. But restaurants worry they’ll pay more and struggle

to store separated organic waste until it’s collected. “Right now we’re saying it’s unworkable and the costs are unpredictable,” said BC Restaurant and Foodservice Association president Ian Tostenson. “My concern is that we’re still in the tailwinds of the recession,” he said, adding the restaurant sector has been slow to recover. “To add this burden onto them by arbitrarily saying by 2015 you will do this – why can’t it be 2017 or 2018?” Consultations are continuing with affected businesses, but Henderson expects Metro will finalize the details of the organics ban later this summer.

AND SAVE!

Surrey: 70% of food waste captured From page 13 He admits itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;more challengingâ&#x20AC;? to enforce a ban on food waste, which is harder to detect inside a dark garbage bag than other banned items like cardboard or old TVs. As with other material bans, contractors who haul waste from homes and businesses will have their loads randomly checked at transfer stations. If inspectors find more than a certain amount of organics theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pay a surcharge on the offending load. Haulers would then act as curbside police, prodding their customers not to toss banned food waste in the trash. One option is a 50 per cent surcharge on loads containing more than five per cent organics. But other scenarios under consideration start out with a much looser 50 per cent tolerance threshold that tightens over time, or else a much lower 10 per cent surcharge that climbs over time. The first six months would be an â&#x20AC;&#x153;education periodâ&#x20AC;? when inspectors would tell haulers if their loads fail but not charge them extra. Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aim is to reach diversion rates of first 70 and then 80 per cent to minimize the amount of waste that goes to landfills or incineration.

A Metro Vancouver disposal ban is expected to make it mandatory to put food waste in green bins in 2015, for both residents and businesses. Organics make up a major part of the waste stream and Henderson estimates the current 300,000 tonnes per year of organics collected must climb to 550,000 tonnes to reach the 80-per-cent target. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The organics disposal ban is a key tool to doing that,â&#x20AC;? Henderson said. Tostenson said restaurants donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t oppose Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal, they just question the practicalities, such as potential pest infestations. A better solution, he said, would be to let restaurants continue to put organic waste in the garbage and let highly

automated new material recovery facilities that are proposed separate out the organics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d do the separation at no increased cost. To me that would be the way to go.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not under consideration at Metro, where officials have been skeptical of such garbage-sorting systems. Henderson said some material recovery plants in California grind up garbage with their organics, resulting in something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passed off as recycling but is so contaminated it can only be used as topping at landfills, not for any agricultural or horticultural purpose.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re calling it a beneficial use when in fact itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ground-up garbage,â&#x20AC;? Henderson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want it to be processed into a high-quality usable product.â&#x20AC;? Food waste can become compost or be turned into biofuels. Surrey aims to award a contract this fall for its new biofuels plant, which deputy operations manager Rob Constanzo expects will capture biogas and feed it into FortisBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural gas grid. He said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;very pleasantly surprisedâ&#x20AC;? that Surrey captured 70 per cent of its single-family food waste just one year after launching organics curbside pick-up. But more work is needed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Surrey and other cities are working on pilot projects to extend organics separation to apartment buildings and other multifamily residential where there are more challenges. Local cities are only responsible for managing residential organics pick-up. Businesses, including restaurants, are the responsibility of their contracted haulers. Surrey Coun. Barinder Rasode is concerned just one Surrey business participated in Metro workshops so far on the planned organics disposal ban. She and other directors fear a last-minute revolt on the eve of the ban taking effect.

by Jeff Nagel SOME B.C. lawyers are

once again planning to withdraw legal aid services in a bid to force the provincial government to pour more money into the system. Bentley Doyle, spokesman for the Trial Lawyers Association of B.C. (TLABC, said participating lawyers will halt work on existing legal aid cases and refuse new ones for the month of July. Previous legal aid “strikes” split the legal community and there’s no sign the tactic will be embraced by all lawyers this time either. Doyle said 50 to 75 lawyers in Vancouver are on board, as well as a group in Kamloops and the aim is to recruit more in other areas. “We have good support in places like S AV E

Kelowna,” he said. The plan is to continue the action in the fall with one-week-a-month stoppages starting in October. Both criminal and family law cases will be affected. The recommendation of the TLABC’s legal aid action committee comes on the heels of the provincial government’s decision to provide an extra $2 million for justice transformation pilot projects. That boosts the budget of the Legal Services Society to $74.5 million, helping unwind some of the cuts of recent years, but the budget of the agency that provides legal aid is still down more than 20 per cent from 2001. “It’s a drop in the bucket,” Doyle said of the extra money, which the province says will fund initiatives to more |

B O R R O W

quickly resolve legal cases, such as mediation and out-of-court solutions. The TLABC continues to argue more funding should come from the seven per cent legal services tax that it says B.C. originally created to fund legal aid, although successive governments have denied that was the intent. “That seven per cent is generating more than $140 million per year for the government,” Doyle said. “The system is barely getting half of that back in legal aid.” He said chronic underfunding of legal aid has meant tighter means tests over the years that leave a growing number of people inefficiently representing themselves before the courts.

cases have at least one party appearing without a lawyer. “It’s the children of B.C. who get robbed of justice when the parents don’t have all the tools they need to make their case,” he said. Adding to the problem, Lakshman said, is the shrinking number of lawyers willing to do legal aid work in B.C. because the money provided makes it “simply unsustainable.” The court system continues to run with too few judges, he said, as well as insufficient staff in other areas, such as court registries, which sometimes close for the afternoon because there aren’t enough clerks to both handle registry inquiries and record proceedings in court. But measurements of court congestion have improved in most respects – the length of time to get a half-day criminal case to trial has improved from more than 10 months in 2011 to just five, below the provincial goal of six months. Lakshman agreed there’s been dramatic improvement on criminal cases, but said delays are “getting intolerable” for family court and there continue to be signs of severe congestion in specific courthouses. A Surrey courtroom recently had one day when six full-day trials were scheduled, he said. “We don’t have a healthy justice system.” Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said the Legal Services Society has assured her it will do its best to refer clients to willing legal aid lawyers in the event of job action, potentially by bringing in lawyers from other areas if necessary.

Insults fly as farmland bill passes in legislature Changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve on the way

by Tom Fletcher

THE B.C. legislature adjourned for the summer

Thursday with Opposition MLAs battling to the end against legislation to divide the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) into two zones. The government used its majority to cut off debate and pass the bill, despite days of demands to withdraw it and complete promised consultation with farmers around the province. “You’re all a bunch of corrupt liars,” shouted NDP agriculture critic Nicholas Simons, before storming out of the chamber as the Opposition’s time ran out. Simons returned to withdraw his comments so he could vote against the legislation. Independent MLAs Andrew Weaver and Vikki Huntington joined NDP critics in denouncing the move to ease restrictions on secondary farmland uses in the North, Kootenay and Cariboo zones. Another target of criticism was the move to formalize the six local Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) panels to make decisions on exclusions and permitted uses. Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald accused the government of adding social and economic considerations to farmland as a pretext to undermine the commission’s independence. “We are talking about important agricultural areas that will now be open to exclusions, that decision being made by Nicholas Simons a bunch of B.C. Liberal political hacks on criteria that are totally nebulous – to the extent that there’s even a provision to add whatever else the cabinet wants to add,” Macdonald said. “It could be economic. It could be social. It could be anything.” Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick pointed to amendments made to the bill in response to criticism that emphasize that the ALC is independent and its top priority remains to preserve productive farmland. Letnick used the example of a Peace River region farmer who was prevented from parking gas industry trucks on his land during winter to earn extra money. “We as a government believe that there’s an opportunity in some parts of the province where there is less pressure on agricultural land to give farmers some freedom in making sure they can be successful on that land,” Letnick said. NDP leader John Horgan said a leaked 2012 email exchange between Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett and Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm suggests a “vendetta” against the ALC and a desire to weaken it for political gain.

“You’re all a bunch of corrupt liars.”

Pimm, who was replaced as agriculture minister as he undergoes cancer surgery, issued an apology this week for his comments in the email. Premier Christy Clark said the changes do not affect the Okanagan, Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island zones, which generate 85 per cent of B.C.’s farm income. “We are making it economic in areas with a shorter growing season, with less productive farmland, to be able to continue to make land valuable enough that they will pass it down to another family,” Clark said. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Snowpack down but region sees no water supply trouble ahead Metro can boost use of Coquitlam Lake, tighten sprinkling rules by Jeff Nagel THERE’S LESS snow in the mountains to replenish

local reservoirs but Metro Vancouver isn’t expecting any drinking water supply shortage this summer. Snowpack levels in late April were less than 70 per cent of historic average levels, according to a regional district report. But the region projects storage in its alpine lakes and reservoirs will supply enough water this summer. That would only change, the report said, if there’s an extreme drought or unusually high demand for water, and then Metro could still increase the use of Coquitlam Lake or impose more stringent water sprinkling limits, which were already tightened in 2012. The last time the region came close to not meeting drinking water service targets was in July of 2009, when hot summer weather seriously stretched the water system. Despite a growing population, water usage per capita has declined steadily over the last 25 years. Metro has set a goal of continued reductions of about one per cent a year. Restraining demand helps the region postpone expensive future upgrades to the water reservoir and delivery system.

Southlands farmland deal in Delta gets Metro approval ‘Innovative’ compromise passes despite precedent fears by Jeff Nagel A DECADES-LONG battle over

a key piece of Delta farmland ended last week as the Metro Vancouver board approved the huge Southlands development despite fears it sets a risky regional precedent. Delta council’s deal with developers allows 950 homes to be built but 80 per cent of the historic Spetifore farm in Tsawwassen will be put under municipal control for agriculture, conservation and public use. The 93-31 weighted vote at the Metro board means the regional growth strategy will be amended to redraw part of the urban containment boundary and change the regional land use designation from agricultural to general urban and conservation/ recreation. A two-thirds majority vote was required. Richmond Coun.

A 44 year old construction contractor suffered multiple fractures and other serious injuries when an oncoming car made a left turn across his path, crashing into his bicycle and throwing his body to the pavement. His injuries were severe but his losses did not stop there. Applying B.C. law a Supreme Court Judge ruled the cyclist recovers only half his wage loss, treatment expenses and other damages caused by the collision. British Columbia proudly promotes cycling. Cyclists know they are vulnerable. But do they know our law sometimes leaves the most vulnerable of our commuters less than fully protected.

As required by BC law, the contractor rode his bike as close as possible to the right side of the road. The particular road had one lane in each direction. Cars were park on the side of the road. The lane was wide enough for traffic to pass by. The cyclist was forced to ride in between traffic and the parked cars. The Motor Vehicle Act, s. 158, allows you to pass a car on the right when there is a lane in which you are permitted to drive. By law cyclists have the same rights and duties as drivers. The ‘lane’ the cyclist is forced to use is a ‘lane’ when the cars go by the cyclist, but it effectively stops being a ‘lane’ when the bike passes cars slowing up in traffic. When traffic backs up and a cyclist pedals alongside and passes the slowing cars, the cyclist loses the right of way. As such, if a car coming the other way turns left into the bike, as in this case, the car has the right of way. The law allows cars to pass on the right when there is a lane. This makes sense because it is efficient and keeps traffic flowing. When a cyclist is using the lane Law LawCorporation Corporation provided, should the same principles and laws apply.

“That opening lap is very emotional,” said Clyne. Bellesen wants to make a special appeal for cancer survivors to join in the survivors’ victory lap. “We get very few out, may be 20. They just don’t come out. We don’t know why.” She says that survivors – some of whom prefer to call themselves “fighters” – all battle the disease in different ways. Bellesen admits her own method is “back-into-mycave,” without a lot of talking about it. “(But) I’d love to see them (at the survivors’ victory lap). I guess the whole premise of this that people have survived cancer, and let’s make it possible for more people to survive it, and to survive longer.” The ninth-annual Delta Relay for Life takes place June 7 and 8 at North Delta Secondary School, 11447 82 Ave. Entertainment begins on Saturday at 4 p.m. The opening ceremony and survivors’ victory lap take place at 6 p.m. A Remember Ceremony, lit by tea lights, takes place at 10:30 p.m. The closing ceremony and Fight Back Challenge takes place at about 5:45 a.m. on Sunday. Registration is $20 (which includes Relay For Life T-shirt). This year’s theme is “Festival for a Cure,” and teams are encouraged to dress up and decorate their campsite for prizes.

Four principles to help your kids save Establishing a sound financial future for children is time consuming, but worthwhile

BECAUSE HABITS

Simplicity

When it comes to children’s financial literacy, it’s especially important to keep things simple. Highlight the fact that smart money management simply aims to ensure that we are generally earning more than we are spending. The goal is to put money aside during times of excess

for use when funds are limited. Also, teach your children that they can get started on saving by taking small, simple steps. In the Humanomics study, 67 per cent of parents indicated their children do not save any money at all each month. Have your kids set aside a small amount consistently and start with a small goal. If your child has a large monthly or annual savings target, chunk this down into a daily or monthly amount, to simplify the challenge.

objective is not to scare size how sound finanyour kids, but to be cial habits from youth honest with them. would have made a Help them underdifference. Don’t forget stand to paint a that positive spendpicture ing and as well – savings help your habits children are causconnect ing many long-term Canafinancial dians to security struggle and with Kathy McGarrigle reduced meeting money their stress with financial needs and good financial deciobligations and leading sions today. to stress about their financial future.

formed early in life are so influential, we can take action today to prevent these spending and savings patterns from being passed on to the next generation. Based on the acronym SAVE, below are four principles that parents can use to guide their efforts to foster a lifelong commitment to saving in their children.

Awareness By making your children aware of the problems of poor money-related choices, you can help prevent them from repeating past mistakes. The

up as children and youth. As parents, consider what values you want to instill in your children to influence their attitudes towards money and saving. Emphasize that money is a means to an end, not an end in itself and teach them to value patience and sacrifice over instant selfgratification. Other values include respect for every dollar, a focus on needs over wants, and refusing to be influenced by greed or the desire to “keep up with the Joneses.” Parents who can bring some core values to how their children value money (and who strive to live out these values themselves) will increase their chances of shaping healthy spending and saving behaviours in their kids.

for inculcating a saving habit in children emphasizes participatory learning. According to the Humanomics study, only 16 per cent of Canadian parents involve their children in money management decisions. How can we use experience to make kids lifelong savers? First, parents need to model sound financial behaviours and if possible, explain their actions and reasons to their children. Depending on their age, ask for their thoughts and discuss their views. Also, let your children save towards future purchases, rather than bankrolling their requests. And if your child is 11 or 12 years old, an excellent way to get started is to sign them up for a unique savings account being offered by credit unions involved in the Humanomics initiative. The

Follow Leanne Daw’s fitness progress and raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society!

IN HIS second trip to the Mastercard

Memorial Cup, North Delta native Tristan Jarry is a national champion. Jarry was the starting goaltender for the Edmonton Oil Kings at the four-team Memorial Cup tournament May 16-25 in London, Ontario, and backstopped the Western Hockey League champions to a 6-3 win over the Ontario Hockey League’s Guelph Storm in the championship game. The 19 year-old was also at the the 2012 tournament in Shawinigan, where the Oil Kings lost three of four games. Jarry did not get in a game, serving as a backup to Cloverdale’s Laurent Brossoit in all four contests. The tournament features the champions of all three Major Junior hockey leagues in Canada - the WHL, OHL and the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) - as well as a host team. The Oil Kings lost two of their three round robin games to earn the third-seed

Their lone win, a 5-2 victory over the host London Knights, was sandwiched by losses of 5-2 to Guelph and 4-3 in double overtime to the QMJHL’s Val-d’or Foreurs. Val-d’or and the Oil Kings had a rematch

in a semifinal contest, won 4-3 by Edmonton in triple overtime, with Jarry making 46 saves. In the championship game, he turned aside 32 shots, including 21 of 22 over the final 40 minutes. Jarry played in all five games for the Oil Kings, winning three of them with a 2.80 goals against average, second-best in the tournament. Claimed in the second round, 44th overall, by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2013 National Hockey League Entry Draft, Jarry had an outstanding season as a starter for the Oil Kings. During the regular season, he had a 2.24 goals against average with eight shutouts while winning 44 games. He led the league in all three categories. Jarry, who had played just 27 minutes in the WHL playoffs prior to this season, started all 21 postseason contests for the Oil Kings. He won 16 games while posting a 2.19 goals against average with the leaguehigh three shutouts.

Hofman tallied for Delta. The Islanders blitzed Port Coquitlam for six goals in the second period, and took an 8-6 lead into the dressing room. Chase Fraser scored three times in a seven-minute span, and McLaughlin, Spencer Bromley and Sam Clare added singles. Port Coquitlam pulled to within a goal three times in the final frame, but goals from Connor Davidson and Taylor Northway kept Delta in front. The Islanders had an easier time of if Saturday at home, and again used a offensive outburst in the second period to put down the Lakers. Evan Messenger had a pair of goals in the first period, which ended 2-2. Burnaby took a brief 3-2 lead early in the second period, but seven minutes later trailed 6-3. McLaughin with three goals, Cody Nass with two, and Tyler Nett and Bromley with one each had the Islanders leading 9-5 after two periods. McLaughlin with his fourth of the game and Jesse Worley with his first were the only goal scorers in the final 20 minutes. Delta will visit the Salmonbellies tonight (Tuesday) in Queen’s Park Arena, hoping to defeat New Westminster for the second time this season. Next weekend, the Islanders host the 8-1-1 Coquitlam Adanacs Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at Sungod before visiting the 4-3-1 Victoria Shamrocks Sunday evening in the provincial capital.

Collie Doodle Puppies (Collie x Poodle) Born Feb 26. Mom is a Rough Collie (45 lbs) and Dad is a small Standard Poodle (50 lbs). Both have health clearances (eyes, hips, elbows). 2 very curly black females avail. We have bred this litter special to create the perfect family companion (intelligent, gentle, easy to train, always willing to please, happy indoors and outdoors, good with children and animals, low to no shed). These puppies will not need a heavy hand to train. They are sweet, kind and sensitive puppies. They will be very similar in looks and in nature to the Golden Doodle only smaller, calmer and will mature sooner. We are a 4H (agility, obedience, showmanship) family and our dogs are a part of our home and life and we wish the same for our puppies. Please consider the time and commitment needed to raise a dog and you will have our support and guidance for life. Pups will have shots and deworming. Reduced to $850. 604820-4827
