HEPNER DEFENDS CITY’S NEW $100 TAX

▶ MAYOR ACKNOWLEDGES THERE WAS NO MENTION OF LEVY DURING THE ELECTION KEVIN DIAKIW

Mayor Linda Hepner acknowledges a $100 levy was never raised by her party during the fall election, but the tax became necessary to maintain the city’s capital program. During the last civic election, Surrey First vowed to hire 100 police officers for $15 million annually. The party stated those officers could

be paid for with revenue from growth, a hike in secondary suite fees and dividends from the city’s development corporation. However, the chair of the city’s finance committee, Coun. Tom Gill, said cost pressures – primarily from the hiring of more RCMP – put the city’s aggressive capital program at risk. Gill said there were other cost pressures that came as a surprise, including a benefits increase for the RCMP and a pay increase for Surrey firefighters. Staff say those costs total $6.5 million, some of which the city was anticipating. Hepner said there were other unexpected costs as well. They include operating costs of new pools, she said.

“My fundamental piece was, are we going to remain competitive in the region with the lowest taxes?” Hepner said. “Frankly that’s the best we can do.” She acknowledged that the $100 levy was a new concept. “That was never raised during the election,” Hepner said. “Nor was I aware it was going to cost $2 million to operate a pool.” She also heard on the hustings that people wanted to keep the capital building program, which is extremely expensive. The budget was endorsed by the finance committee (all of council) on Dec. 8. It will be given final approval by council after the holidays.

Trusted Advisor Series…..Part 3 A better way to give to charities

n my previous article, I explained why The Co-operators is “A Better Place For You”. I explained that we have $42 Billion of Canadian’s money under investment management in portfolios that come with guarantees that other investments do not offer. We have over 2.5 million clients placing their trust in us. Today, I want to talk about a better way to give to charities. Government cutbacks at all levels have meant that charitable organizations are facing increasing pressure to find private sources of funding. Canadians care about those less fortunate. Did you know that each

year over $5 billion is contributed to charities by Canadians? To encourage charitable giving, donations made by taxpayers to registered charitable organizations are eligible for tax credits. With planning, tax savings can fund more than 40% of charitable gifts donated. Larger donations provide even greater relative tax savings, because more of the gift may qualify for a higher tax credit.

So how does it work? By using a life insurance policy, you create a donation large enough to meet important longterm goals of your charity of choice. These goals could be the creation of a scholarship fund, the construction of a building, the

purchase of equipment, or other special causes. In Delta, this work is done by the Delta Foundation. You then receive a valuable tax credit. There are a number of ways to receive this credit: • Donate a new or existing life insurance policy directly to the charity and receive official tax receipts for the premiums you pay on the policy. This provides an immediate tax credit. • If you retain ownership of the policy and designate the charity as the beneficiary, the charity will receive the policy proceeds at the time of your death. A tax benefit equal to the full amount of the policy proceeds goes to your estate. This tax credit can significantly reduce your taxes at that time, allowing your heirs to receive the full value of your estate and the charity to receive a significant gift. • Use the tax incentives provided by Canada Revenue Agency to donate

▼ A FALLEN TREE PROMPTS THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS IN ONE SURREY NEIGHBOURHOOD My wife and I are 82 and 84 years old. It came as a total shock to find my 55-year-old plum tree (that I planted as a seedling) lying on the ground after a storm on Thursday, Dec. 11. This tree grew to be 40 feet tall and two feet across the bough and fed the neighbours every summer. My faith in humanity was restored when the next morning we noticed a complete stranger cleaning up the branches that blocked the sidewalk. My wife went out to thank her when another stranger asked if we could use some help. My wife jokingly said, “do you have a big chainsaw?” He said “yes.” Saturday morning came and we couldn’t believe what we saw. The two unknown neighbours arrived with a friend and the tools to clean up the debris. Our neighbours beside us joined in the throng with more tools, and my son and grandson completed this nine-member entourage. With two chainsaws, two wheelbarrows, a log splitter, clippers and twine, it took this amazingly efficient work team threeand-a-half hours to clean up the years of memories and shade this old tree provided. We stand in awe and the gratitude is immeasurable. We would like to extend a heartfelt Merry Christmas to our neighbours and new friends who possess the humanity that inspired us and moved us so deeply. Russell Jonsson

Once again, thank you for your recent support and for helping to save or improve the life of a fellow Canadian. Mark Donnison Vice-President Donor Relations Canadian Blood Services

VIEWPOINT

2015: The year of climate adaption BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

It’s time to look beyond the protests and political battles around climate change that dominated 2014, and look at the year and the decade ahead. From the California drought to shifting forest patterns across B.C., there is evidence that our climate is changing more rapidly. Public debate consists mainly of squabbling about the significance of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, rather than what can be done to prepare. A draft discussion paper from the B.C. forests ministry on wildfire control was released in December after an access-to-information request. “Climate Change Adaptation and Action Plan For Wildfire Management, 2014-2024” describes the progress made in the province’s community forest fire prevention plan, and its goal to create “wildfire resilient ecosystems and wildfire adapted communities” over the next 10 years. The final discussion paper is to be released early in 2015, but the key research is in. It estimates that by

2017 there will be 788 million cubic metres of dead pine in B.C. forests. Fires in these areas spread 2.6 times faster than in healthy green stands, up to 66 metres per minute. The report calls for fuel management beyond community boundaries to stop “mega-fires” by creating landscape-level fuel breaks, with targeted harvesting, prescribed burning and new silviculture practices. It notes that bark beetle infestations and bigger, hotter fires are being seen across North America, with costs rising along with urban development. For example, the 2011 Slave Lake fire in northern Alberta generated the second-largest insurance charge in Canadian history. The costs of preparing are huge. The costs of not preparing could be catastrophic. Also in 2014, the B.C. government appointed an advisory committee to prepare for the renewal of the Columbia River Treaty with the United States. While this 1964 treaty has no

end date, its flood control mandate expires in 2024. I spoke with Deborah Harford and Jon O’Riordan, members of the Simon Fraser University Adaptation to Climate Change Team (ACT), who, along with ACT senior policy author Robert Sandford, have written a provocative book on the treaty. They hope it will help lead to a renewed agreement that will be a model for a changing world. “If you’re looking ahead 60 years from 2024, there’s a lot of climate change projected in that period, for British Columbia and the U.S.,” Harford said. “For the B.C. side, we’re looking at heavy precipitation and potential increase in snowmelt runoff, while in the States, you’re getting the opposite, much less snow. “There will probably be no snowpack left down there, and they’re looking at the prospect of quite drastically lower flows in the summer.” The treaty, sparked by devastating floods in 1948, led to construction of

three dams on the B.C. side and one at Libby, Washington that backed up Kookanusa Lake into B.C. Between that reservoir and the Arrow Lakes, 110,000 hectares of B.C. land was flooded, including orchards, dairy farms and the homes of 2,000 people. Those dams hold back spring flood water and provide for irrigation that has allowed Washington to expand its agriculture to a $5 billion-a-year industry. The treaty shares the value of hydroelectric power generated by the many downstream U.S. dams such as the Grand Coulee, but it pays B.C. nothing for agricultural benefits that were achieved at the cost of B.C. farms and aboriginal territories. O’Riordan notes that climate shifts create a strategic benefit for B.C. The U.S. has no more dam capacity to exploit, and needs us more than ever, for flood protection and water supply.

THE ROAD RULES www.roadrules.ca

Cedric Hughes

Barrister & Solicitor

In early November, the Amsterdam-based GPS producer TomTom released its 2013 ‘Travel Index’ ranking Vancouver as the most congested city in North America— more congested than Los Angeles, Toronto, and New York, ranked respectively at 2nd, 7th and 9th on TomTom’s ‘top ten’ list. Few commuters stuck in the various well-known choke points in Vancouver —on ramps to the various bridges, for example, or on downtown arteries in rush hour —would dispute this. But, at the same time, those who have also driven in the other abovementioned cities might still question this distinction. TomTom says congestion is getting worse in Vancouver, but, on balance, it doesn’t feel like it. Over the last decade the road and public transit infrastructure improvements made throughout the lower mainland, the BC interior, and the Vancouver to Whistler corridor have made a difference. And they indicate awareness on the part of our legislators, transportation policy experts and planners that infrastructure matters, needs attention and requires ongoing funding. Agreement on securing this funding and allocating it to the various projects is an ongoing challenge and big part of the transportation debate. South of the border transportation experts are also aware … and worried. Writing in the latest Eno Centre for Transportation newsletter, Roger Dow, the President and CEO of the US Travel Association forecasts that: “Without significant investments to improve the performance of the National

Highway System or provide alternative modes of transportation like high-speed rail, American highways will be as congested on a typical day as they are on Labor Day. For example, Labor Day congestion will be the reality on I-95 between Palm Beach and Melbourne, Fla., as soon as 2020, and between New York and Washington, DC, as soon as 2024. For the country that built the transcontinental railroad, federal highway system and once boasted an aviation system that was the envy for the world, this is simply unacceptable. As recently as 10 years ago, Republicans and Democrats worked together to invest in America’s transportation infrastructure. Congressional leaders made high-performing infrastructure a priority to meet demand and grow our economy. But times have changed. Referring to transportation funding, Sen. Jay Rockefeller, (D-W.Va.), said it best earlier this year: ‘We in Congress have simply not done our jobs when it comes to investing for the future.’” Mr. Dow goes on to say that the situation has now “grown so dire,” and the problem of solving it so complex, that it is too expansive for any one state to resolve on its own, too expensive for any one company to fund and too important for any elected representative to relinquish their role. He says the time has come to consider user fees as part of the solution, a reversal of the traditional position taken by the transportation industry. He concludes by exhorting the federal government to “get back in the game and jump-start investments in transportation solutions.” Road users in both Canada and the US don’t like the prospect of road user fees but discussion of this ‘solution’ isn’t about to end any time soon. Quite the contrary. …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.

Metro leaders say the region’s recycling system is threatened because garbage firms that haul waste out of the region will avoid paying regional tipping fees or complying with bans on the dumping of recyclables. Polak assigns MLA Marvin Hunt to study the issues involved. NOVEMBER More than 120 people are arrested attempting to block survey work by Kinder Morgan on Burnaby Mountain. Anti-pipeline activists win a victory when a court throws out most charges against protesters and refuses to extend an injunction, prompting the company to pull out early. The civil disobedience follows a series of legal challenges led by Burnaby and underscores the challenges the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion will face on the ground. National Energy Board hearings are expected to begin in 2015. Most participants will be limited to written statements. DECEMBER Metro Vancouver mayors decide to go to referendum on a 0.5-per-cent sales tax increase within the region to finance an ambitious expansion of rapid transit and bus service. The referendum, expected to take place in April of 2015, is a provincial condition for new taxes for TransLink. Mayors unveiled their plan for proposed upgrades in June. The choice of a PST increase was a switch from their original preference – a share of the provincial carbon tax, which was rejected by the government.

SURREY

The charges come at an end of dramatic serious of events where a man with a gun in Cloverdale initiated two carjackings, including one involving a baby in the backseat of an SUV, Surrey RCMP said. The baby – physically unharmed – and the stolen Ford SUV were found abandoned in the area of 96 Avenue and 158 Street. Police were already on their way to the initial report of a man with a gun near 186 Street and Fraser Highway when word came that a Toyota pick-up had been stolen by someone matching the description. A woman was inside the vehicle. The Toyota was subsequently involved in a crash on Fraser Highway and 68 Avenue involving multiple vehicles. The suspect then used a second vehicle, the Ford SUV with the baby in it, to flee the scene. A gun was recovered from inside the Toyota.

Surrey’s United Naturists (SUN) and the Skinnydipper Recreation Club are bringing in the “Nude Year” at their ninth-annual Polar Bare Plunge on Jan. 1 at the clothing-optional Crescent Rock Beach. The charity swim will be held at 1 p.m. in the icy waters of Boundary Bay directly in front of the 120-tonne Crescent Rock boulder. To get to the the beach, walk south from the public Crescent Beach 100 metres past the “101 Steps” elevated metal walkway or take the stairs located at the very west end of 24 Ave. in south Surrey. Registration begins at 12:30 p.m. A one-button bathing suit is the usual attire for this clothing-optional swim, but Santa hats, fake antlers, body paint and limited festive garments are appreciated, keeping in mind that less is often more. Foot protection, including secured sandals or aquatic shoes, are recommended to help with footing on the small rocks lining the shore before the sand flats. Entry is free but organizers ask supporters and spectators to bring cash donations to help the War Amps PLAYSAFE and CHAMPS childhood amputee programs – highlighting the danger to pedestrians trespassing on the adjacent BNSF railway (CN Police might be there to keep people off the train corridor).

www.welcomewagon.ca NOTICE TO NICOMEKL RIVER MARINE TRAFFIC. BNSF Railway is proposing to undertake major repairs to the swing span bridge located over the Nicomekl River at Crescent Beach Marina in January, 2015. This work will preclude the bridge from swinging for marine traffic for the duration of the project. It is anticipated that it will take approximately three (3) weeks to complete the repairs. BNSF is proposing to start the work on Wednesday, January 7 and complete the work on Friday, January 30. These dates are subject to obtaining authorization from Transport Canada under the Navigation Protection Act (NPA). The work being undertaken on those dates with a view to disrupt as little marine traffic as possible. Historically, this the time of year with the least amount of marine traffic requiring the span to swing to enter or exit the Nicomekl River. All vessels not requiring the bridge span to swing will not be impacted by this work. Please direct any comments or concerns to Grant Nightingale, Engineering Supervisor - BNSF Railway at grant.nightingale@bnsf.com and Transport Canada at NPPPAC-PPNPAC@tc.gc.ca
