Leader MISSION: RECONSTRUCTION ▶ CANADIAN SURGICAL TEAM HEALS WAR WOUNDS OF THE UKRAINIAN CONFLICT 14

Dr. Tara Stewart gets a hug from 35-year-old Ukrainian patient Roman Bertash the day after his surgery. Bertash – who lost an eye to a sniper’s bullet – was just one of 37 gravely injured patients treated by volunteer medical staff through the Canada Ukraine Foundation and Operation Rainbow Medical Mission in Ukraine in November.

July 17, 2014 was a bad day for Andre Usach. The 33-year-old soldier was hit by a shell while in a bunker at the airport in the eastern Ukrainian city of Luhansk. Badly wounded and knocked out, he could not be safely evacuated and had to remain

there for two weeks, unconscious, without any medical treatment more complex than tourniquets provided by his comrades. Dr. Oleh Antonyshyn, who would meet the soldier months later, fills in the details: “When they did finally get him to a medical facility, his wounds were infected, resulting in the amputation of his leg. He (had) a very significant injury to his arm –

he (couldn’t) use his arm – and in addition to that, he had a multi-fragment fracture of his jaw, with an open wound to his jaw, and all of that was infected as well. “When the primary physicians got a hold of him, they completed the amputation and treated his wounds, but he was still battered, with a major defect of the jaw – it was split in two, from left to right.

▼ MEDICAL MISSION HELPS GLOBALLY from page 1

The anti-government protests would lead to the ousting of President Viktor Yanukovych on Feb. 14, 2014, but not before heavy fighting in Maidan Nezalezhnosti – the city’s central square – that left more than 100 killed and many more wounded, to be followed by many thousands more dead and injured in the eastern part of the country as Russia became more involved in the conflict throughout the year. The plight of the wounded would attract the attention of Canadian medical professionals, some of whom volunteered to bring their reconstructive surgery skills to Ukrainians. The first-ever Canada Ukraine Foundation and Operation Rainbow Medical Mission arrived on Nov. 6, 2014: One neurosurgeon, four plastic surgeons (one a hand specialist, the others face and general), two plastic surgery residents, one general surgeon, three anesthesiologists, 10 nurses, and a support team of six. While the majority were from Ontario (and one nurse from Edmonton), six of the volunteers were from B.C., including team leader Dr. Kimit Rai and Surrey videographer Gary Hanney, a retired Global TV cameraman who documented 37 surgeries performed over nearly 10 days. Billeted at the Kiev Hilton, the team – which came with its own medical equipment – performed surgeries in the Main Clinic Military Hospital, built in 1775 (which locals like to say is older than the United States). Rai said that most of the bullet wounds and explosives injuries were a few months old, and included broken jaws, noses and cheekbones, and scarred and distorted upper extremities. In Andre Usach’s case, Antonyshyn used a titanium mesh and a bone graft from the patient’s thigh to put his jaw back together. Usach wouldn’t be the first to thank a visiting doctor.

Surrey man dead in targeted shooting in North Delta ▼ ARUNDEEP CHEEMA, 24, SHOT IN DRIVEWAY OF A HOME KEVIN DIAKIW

A man is dead after being shot in the driveway of a North Delta home last week. On Friday (Jan. 2) at 8:20 p.m., Surrey’s Arundeep Cheema, 24, was fatally shot while sitting in the driveway of a home in the 11800-block of 75A Avenue. Police say Cheema is known to them. As of The Leader’s press deadline Monday, details were limited, however police say the shooting appears to be targeted, and as such, members of the public need not fear for their safety. Anyone who believes they may have information, or was in the area at the time of the shooting, is asked to call the Delta Police Department at 604 -946-4411.

Gun used in mass murder in Edmonton was stolen in Surrey of the activity, and spent his afternoons in the hospital (each surgery was usually four to five hours long), and the following mornings, he edited the videos to send to CBC TV stations in Toronto and B.C., as well as Global BC. Hanney said he was too busy working to be truly affected by what he saw in the hospital – including the interaction between Dr. Stewart and Roman Bertash, and the big smile on the patient’s face. “It didn’t hit me until I saw the CBC footage.” It was Hanney’s fourth mission with Operation Rainbow as a videographer. “The patients are very grateful,” says Rai. “It’s been very emotionally charged and it feels good to help them.” All-volunteer and non-profit, Operation Rainbow relies on donations.

Of the 37 surgeries: • 7 were skull reconstructions; • 10 were bony reconstructions of the facial skeleton; • 9 were soft tissue reconstructions of the eyelids, nose and lips; • 6 were upper extremity reconstructions; • 5 were burn and scar revisions.

▶ SEVEN ADULTS AND TWO CHILDREN KILLED IN WHAT POLICE ARE CALLING EXTREME DOMESTIC VIOLENCE KEVIN DIAKIW

The nine people killed in Edmonton in late December were shot with a gun stolen from Surrey in 2006, police in Alberta say. On Monday (Dec. 29) at 6:52 p.m., Edmonton police responded to a weapons complaint at a residence. When they arrived, they found a woman dead. A few hours later, they received a call about a suicidal man and responded to an address – only to find seven people who had been shot. They included three women, two men and two children (a boy and a girl). In total, six adults between the ages of 25 and 55, and two children under 10 years old, were found in two separate residences that evening. Edmonton Police Chief Rod Knecht called the scene horrific. “In my 39 years of policing, I’ve never seen anything like it,” he said. The suspected gunman has been identified as Phu Lam, 53.

A man of the same name appeared on unpublished charges in Surrey and Squamish in 1999. On Dec. 29, homicide detectives later located Lam dead at a restaurant in Fort Saskatchewan, located 40 kilometres northeast of Edmonton. “This male suspect is wellknown to the Edmonton Police Service and has a criminal record dating back to 1987,” Knecht said. The suspect in the shootings was the subject of previous complaints at the second home in 2012, when he was charged with offences related to domestic violence, sexual assault and uttering threats, Knecht said. The coroner’s service determined all victims died of gunshot wounds. The victims were Thuy Tien Truong, 35, Elvis Lam, 8, Than Ha Thi Truong, 33, Valentina Nguyen, 3, Thi Dau Le, 55, Van Dang Truong, 55, Viet Nguyen, 41, and Cyndi Duong, 37. Lam died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds. Knecht characterized the incident an extreme case of domestic violence. The 9-mm handgun used in the killings, he said, was registered in B.C. in 1997 and reported stolen from Surrey in 2006.

Transit Authority were called to Surrey Central SkyTrain Station where a man was reportedly banging his head against a wall and screaming. They followed the man to a nearby Safeway at 104 Avenue and King George Boulevard, where the man had gone behind a counter and demanded a knife. When transit police arrived the man was stabbing himself in the chest with the knife. At one point, the man advanced on officers and shots were fired. Woods was rushed to hospital where he died of his injuries. The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. is probing the case.

▶ NEW FOOD SCRAPS SEPARATION RULES COMING TO METRO VANCOUVER JEFF NAGEL

Most restaurants are unlikely to initially obey new Metro Vancouver rules that require them and other businesses to separate food waste for recycling as of Jan. 1, according to an industry spokesman. B.C. Restaurant and Foodservice Association President Ian Tostenson said most restaurant operators have not yet had enough time to prepare for the major change in waste handling, but added he expects majority compliance before Metro’s sixmonth grace period expires and actual penalties begin. “As generators of organic waste we know this is the right thing to do to get it out of landfills,” he said. “But you can’t just impose these costs on 6,000 restaurants without having a really sensitive perspective on their economics.” Many B.C. restaurants continue to “hang by a thread” since the 2008 recession, Tostenson said, adding he expects most will wait for the January slowdown to figure out how to add organic waste bins to their operations. Starting next July, Metro inspectors will slap a 50-per-cent tipping fee surcharge on loads of garbage they spot that contain 25 per cent or more food scraps. Up until then, they’ll just issue warnings. As with other Metro disposal bans, the fines are paid by haulers, who would then pressure their business customers to comply. Single-family homes in most of Metro Vancouver are already expected to separate organics for curbside pick-up. The allowable level of organic food in garbage would be reduced in subsequent years, likely to 10 per cent in 2016. The regional district expects to initially focus its enforcement

Tostenson applauded Metro’s release of information videos on the change in multiple languages, noting the region’s diverse restaurant scene includes many operators who don’t speak English. Collected organics may go to composting facilities or other purposes, depending on the hauler. The City of Surrey is building a biofuels processing plant that will take 115,000 tonnes per year of organic waste and convert it into natural gas to power the city’s garbage trucks as well as compost. Surrey is in talks with preferred partner Iris Solutions, which would design, build, partly finance and operate the plant, which is to open in 2016.

▼ TRANSLINK’S PLAN TO BATTLE CONGESTION IS INSANE

Save mature trees

One has to shake one’s head with the “Metro Vancouver Congestion Tax” referendum, as clearly Metro mayors haven’t a clue what they are talking about. The name, Metro Vancouver Congestion Tax, is false advertising, as the only way to reduce road congestion and gridlock is by reducing road space for cars. Subways don’t reduce congestion and are only built to accommodate high ridership on routes which demand long trains and large stations. Traffic flows along Broadway nowhere near justify a multi-billion-dollar subway and if built, it will drag TransLink into a financial morass. The one mode with a proven record of alleviating congestion is modern LRT because it uses road space for its route, reducing road space for cars while offering a convenient transit alternative. It’s why LRT is built around the world and SkyTrain is not. So instead of the oxymoronic “Metro Vancouver Congestion Tax,” a more accurate name would be; “Let’s do the same thing over again and hope for different results” tax. Oh, excuse me, that’s the definition for insanity.

follow sustainable development practices by leaving room for more mature trees in their subdivisions instead of clear-cutting them.

Why would any rational, thinking individual vote yes in the upcoming transportation funding referendum? Is TransLink not the same body that mismanaged the issuing of tickets for fare violators knowing they could not collect them? What about the faregate and Compass card debacles? And what about the exorbitant salaries, bonuses and perks of senior management, rivalling if not surpassing those available in the private sector? When will we learn the only real source of government revenue comes from taxation? And that means taxpayers like you and me. So send yet another message to governments at all levels that continue to spend the dollars they take away from us as though they were their own. Vote no on the referendum.

▼ DOUBLE FEES FOR DEVELOPERS Many Surrey homeowners have experienced the hassle and expense of trying to convince the city to allow them to get rid of a problem tree on their property. Ironically, developers in this city customarily create so many new lots on the properties they’re subdividing that there’s often no room for existing trees, which are then chainsawed into firewood after paying the city a modest $300 fee for every tree that isn’t replaced with one or more saplings. Keep in mind that 20 per cent of Surrey’s mature canopy trees have disappeared since 2001 and many if not most of the saplings planted to replace them in urban neighbourhoods won’t survive the decades it takes to reach maturity.

Malcolm Johnston, Delta

Twenty per cent of Surrey’s mature canopy trees have disappeared since 2001.

VIEWPOINT

U.S. ripping us off on water BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

The U.S. has Canada over a barrel on water as well as oil these days, but the tide is turning. Last week I mentioned a new book called The Columbia River Treaty – A Primer by members of Simon Fraser University’s climate adaptation team. This slim volume makes the case that B.C. has ended up with a shockingly bad deal from this 1964 treaty, which concerned itself entirely with flood control and hydroelectric power. In those days there was little or no environmental assessment. Agriculture, fish habitat and aboriginal impacts were ignored. More than a decade after the disastrous flood year of 1948, once Ottawa stopped its bureaucratic delays, U.S. public and private power utilities paid B.C. $254 million to build three dams on the Columbia system. Those dams (and one at Libby, Montana that mostly floods B.C. land) hold back the huge spring runoff from the Rockies and then dole out water for power production in

B.C. and for the 15 hydro dams previously built downstream in the U.S. The U.S. payment was for half the power over 30 years, which B.C. didn’t need at the time. Then our American cousins cut us another cheque for $64 million, an estimate of the value of flood protection from 1968 all the way to 2024. Boy, did we get taken. The SFU team calculates the value of that flood control to the U.S. at more like $32 billion. That’s not even the worst of it. The Kootenays were once the leading fruit and vegetable growing area in B.C., bigger than the Okanagan. Now in the Arrow Lakes and other reservoirs, levels rise and fall dramatically to steady the flow south. In addition to the large areas permanently flooded by the Mica, Duncan and Hugh Keenleyside dams, this renders more of B.C.’s prime bottom land impassable. B.C. is paid precisely zero for this sacrifice, while Washington state has developed a $5 billion-a-year farm

economy using our stable irrigation source. That has helped their tree fruit growers push some Okanagan orchardists out of business. As U.S. billionaires continue to bankroll environmental attacks on B.C. and Alberta energy projects, it’s worth noting that long before the treaty, the U.S. military-industrial complex had wiped out the Columbia River salmon runs. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and its private power partners dammed everything they could find, exterminating a fishery bigger than the Fraser that had sustained aboriginal people on both sides of today’s border for thousands of years. B.C. Energy Minister Bill Bennett and SFU’s Jon O’Riordan both described to me their experience at the Columbia River Basin conference, held last October in Spokane. Their main impression was that Americans, including traditional tribes, want those salmon runs

Should the Americans ever manage to get salmon above their biggest dam, it will largely be up to B.C. to provide sufficient cool water to keep them alive. That service has an increasing value to the U.S. as well as an ongoing cost to B.C. Bennett surprised some in Spokane when he said the U.S. needs to pay more for the benefits from the Columbia River Treaty. The flood control agreement expires in 2024. The treaty requires 10 years’ notice for either country to exit. Climate shifts are expected to make B.C. water more important than ever. Your move, Uncle Sam.

Not all business groups back new transit tax ▶ CHAMBER CLAIMS SOLID SUPPORT, BUT OTHERS CONCERNED JEFF NAGEL

The president of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce insists only a minority of businesses in Metro Vancouver object to a proposed new regional 0.5-percent sales tax for transit and transportation. John Winter says fears of business flowing out of the region because of the proposed Congestion Improvement Tax have been voiced mainly in Langley, where shoppers may be tempted to go east to Abbotsford to avoid the new tax. “They’re the ones who feel they will bear the brunt,” he said, but insisted there is broad support for the Yes side in the spring referendum among business leaders elsewhere in Metro Vancouver. “The business community is solidly behind this,” Winter said, adding concerns about extra bureaucracy and costs to separately report a new sales tax are overstated. “I don’t think it’s going to be a huge problem,” Winter said. New car dealers in particular fear lost business, but Winter said 0.5 per cent works out to just $200 on a $40,000 car. “I’ve never met a car dealer who wasn’t prepared to wheel and deal,” he said, predicting dealerships in places like Langley and Maple Ridge won’t sit back and let customers take their business east to the Fraser Valley over a relatively small amount.

The B.C. director for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business predicts a significant degree of opposition to a new Metro transit tax.

outside the region but ultimately registered within Metro Vancouver, Qualey said that may still leave questions of how it will be enforced. If the new tax applies to car dealers, Qualey wants it also added to the sales tax charged on private car transactions. Richard Truscott, B.C. director for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB), predicts a significant degree of opposition from his small business members. “I would expect there

to be a fair amount to cynicism and doubt as to whether an extra half point on the PST (Provincial Sales Tax) is the right way to fund transportation improvements,” he said. Truscott said the CFIB wants greater accountability for the billions of dollars already being spent on transit and infrastructure in the region. “To turn around and ask taxpayers to fork over even more dough leaves a lot of business owners scratching their heads.” He said the CFIB is

surveying its members on the new tax and expects to take a position in January, provided there’s enough of a majority for or against. Greg Wilson, government affairs director for B.C. for the Retail Council of Canada, said there is concern among retailers about the extra costs and reporting requirements that will come with a new separate tax. That means yet more reprogramming of point-of-sale terminals continued on page 8

But Blair Qualey, president and CEO of the New Car Dealers Association of B.C. said he wants clarity from the province on whether or not dealers will have to absorb the tax hike before

his organization takes a stand on the plebiscite. “This tax could be a pretty big chunk per year for these guys if they have to swallow it to stay competitive,” Qualey said.

He said that could force auto dealers to cut costs in areas such as charitable giving within the community. Even if the province charges the new 0.5 per cent tax on vehicles bought

Yes campaign unites ‘strange bedfellows’ John Winter is a key member of the Yes campaign and it’s not his first time promoting a contentious tax. The president of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce fought to keep the harmonized sales tax but saw it go down to referendum defeat in 2011 with 55 per cent of voters opposed, forcing the province to reinstate the provincial sales tax. This time both Winter and anti-HST strategist Bill Tieleman are on the Yes side urging Metro residents to agree to the new tax for transit road and bridge upgrades. “It does create strange bedfellows,” Winter acknowledged, but added it underscores the broad

Winter, the mayors and other Yes campaigners are deluding themselves and voters by avoiding mention of TransLink. “The other side knows TransLink is a completely failed brand, “ he said, adding audits are no insurance. “The audits will happen after the money is spent. So congratulations, TransLink wasted more of your money and you found out after an audit.” Bateman said there are plenty of questions hanging over the referendum and whether the promised transit upgrades can actually be delivered. He promises to release an alternative plan this month to expand transit without adding the new sales tax by finding savings within TransLink and municipal government spending.

from a landline and they can’t be reached, police are dispatched. “Those kinds of calls can chew up a lot of resources unnecessarily.” The number of pocket-dialed 911 calls is running at about 70,000 a year, while another 30,000 are accidental calls where the caller hangs up without explaining to staff. Those numbers have improved slightly, Robertson said, but still amount to more than 10 per cent of the 860,000 calls to 911 each year in the Lower Mainland. She said the most frequent “head-scratcher” calls are ones seeking basic information, adding calls to report or seek information about power outages are a major recurring problem. True emergencies are police, fire or medical situations that require immediate action because someone’s health, safety or property is in jeopardy or a crime is in progress. Discovering your car broken into or vandalized should be a call to your local police non-emergency number, not 911. “We’re here to help people with real emergencies,” added 911 call taker Warner Yang, who fielded the year’s most unworthy 911 call – that Wi-Fi at the local coffee shop wasn’t working. “If someone calls 911 about internet problems that means I’m not available to help someone who really needs it.” Classic idiot calls from past years include callers who reported a large spider in their living room, that their TV was broken or that their son wouldn’t hand over the remote control. Other requests have

Do not call 911 because your slice of pizza is stale. Nor is it an emergency if Wi-Fi at the coffee shop isn’t working or you’ve lost your glasses. Those are some of the most bizarrely inappropriate 911 calls made by Lower Mainland residents in 2014, according to a top 10 list released by E-Comm, southwest B.C.’s emergency communications centre. Besides complaining about the quality of take-out food, many bozo 911 callers appear to think emergency dispatchers can double as an information service, wanting to know everything from whether it’s a stat holiday to the phone numbers for taxis or travel agents. E-Comm spokesperson Jody Robertson said people who make “nuisance calls” to 911 tie up valuable resources for people with real life-and-death emergencies, potentially putting lives at risk. “These kinds of calls come in every day pretty much all day long,” she said. There isn’t an accurate count of how many there are, but Robertson said it’s “way too many.” Nor can E-Comm staff instantly disconnect those calls – they have to be alert to the possibility that a caller feels threatened by someone nearby and is concocting a cover story so it doesn’t seem like they’ve dialed 911. “We have to make sure the caller can speak freely and there’s not something else going on,” Robertson said. The same sorts of scenarios – is the caller silent because of a nearby assailant or because they’ve had a heart attack – are on the minds of E-Comm staff when they get a pocket-dialed call or an accidental call where the caller hangs up. Call-takers must phone back to make sure the person is okay, and if the call came

Members of the Dansing Tones celebrated the season with their first year-end Christmas performance last month in Newton. Dansing Tones is a dance and music program for children with special needs. Hannah Premia and her mother Helen started the program as a way to help special needs children become more active and give the kids and their families a place to socialize and build self-confidence. On Dec. 13, the seven students performed in three groups based on their abilities, with all the students getting together with their family and siblings for the final performance of Santa Claus is Coming to Town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stephanie really looks forward to coming to class every week,â&#x20AC;? said Shannon Davison, whose 12-year-old daughter attends the class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great place for her to meet friends who have similarities.â&#x20AC;? While some students performed choreographed movements, others worked on motor skills with pompoms and shakers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They all did a fantastic job,â&#x20AC;? said program organizer Hannah Premia.

Divorce and Technology: Big Brother is Watching B Y B R Y N H I R S C H , L AW Y E R Much has been written about why we feel compelled to share our thoughts on social media for the world to see. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Friendsâ&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Likesâ&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Favouritesâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Retweetsâ&#x20AC;? provide instant affirmation that we are popular, and more importantly I think, correct in our views and opinions. Unfortunately for some, while your friends or followers may approve of what you have said, a Judge may think quite differently about it. Anyone who is involved in family litigation should assume that someone is looking through their social media posts to find evidence to use against them at trial. You should assume this because someone is looking. It might be your former spouse, their friends and family, or their lawyer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; someone is doing it. Claiming that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work and pay child support because of an injury? That picture of you competing in the World Strongman competition wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help your cause. You sacrifice everything for your kids? Ok, then why did you drop them off at your parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; so that you could go drunken house boating for three days and write all about it on Facebook? You have always been supportive of your former spouse? Not according to the 5,000 word profanity laced rant you posted last night. Litigants need to use a common sense approach when using social media (email and texting as well). One simple question does the trick â&#x20AC;&#x201C; do you want your post to be read or your picture to be displayed in a courtroom for all to see? If the answer is no, you should definitely put your phone back in your pocket. HAMILTON DUNCAN ARMSTRONG + STEWART BUSINESS + LITIGATION LAWYERS TRADEMARK AGENTS
