‘KASSANDRA’S LAW’ TABLED BY LANGLEY MP
▶ PRIVATE MEMBER’S BILL AIMS TO CREATE NEW CRIMINAL CHARGE FOR DRUNK DRIVING CAUSING DEATH MONIQUE TAMMINGA
Langley MP Mark Warawa wants the law to start calling impaired driving causing death “what it truly is: vehicular homicide.”
Warawa introduced Kassandra’s Law, a Private Member’s Bill, which if passed would create a new criminal charge called vehicular homicide for impaired driving causing death. The law, that Warawa introduced in the House of Commons last Monday, was named after 22-year-old Kassandra Kaulius of Surrey, who was killed by a drunk driver in 2011. The goal is to eventually introduce a law asking for mandatory sentencing for vehicular homicide, said Warawa.

Jim Heuving, executive pastor of Pacific Community Church (left), along with church volunteers, prepares a meal for the less-fortunate last Monday afternoon. Since 2013, the church has gone from providing 30 meals a month to more than 400. The church is hosting, and will benefit from, the annual Coldest Night of the Year fundraiser, which takes place Feb. 21.

Helping the homeless ▼ PACIFIC COMMUNITY CHURCH IN CLOVERDALE IS HOSTING ‘COLDEST NIGHT OF THE YEAR’ FUNDRAISING EVENT EVAN SEAL
The “Coldest Night of the Year” walk is coming to Surrey, so bundle up and get ready to take part. On Feb. 21 in 82 cities across Canada, teams of walkers will gather to help raise money for the homeless and those who are living below the poverty line. Participants take part in a two-, five- or 10-kilometre walk, with teams raising money through pledges. Since 2011, the Coldest Night of the Year has raised $4.9 million across Canada, with the funds going to organizations and charities that help the less-fortunate. “Often organizations struggle with their fundraising and this is a fun, family way to draw people in the community to just walk and raise funds for various organizations,” said Jim Heuving, executive pastor at Pacific Community Church, the host group of the walk in Cloverdale. “Last year we had the walk and our goal was to raise
$30,000 and we raised $64,000. It was a really huge boost.” Since the church started serving community meals in 2013, the church, located at 5337 180 St., has grown from providing about 30 meals a month to more than 400. The church hopes to use money raised from Coldest Night of the Year to not only feed those in need, but to increase use of the kitchen for skills training and possible catering opportunities. The community kitchen sees a cross-section of clients, Heuving says, from the homeless, to the mentally ill, to the working poor, and recently more seniors who are finding it hard to get by have been showing up. By feeding the less-fortunate, Heuving sees the kitchen as a way to connect those down on their luck with available resources. “That’s why we call it a community kitchen. It’s a place where people can gather,” he said. “Food is only the front door to connect people with community resources. We have to care for our own. To get involved in Coldest Night of the Year, walkers can build a team of their own or join an existing group. For more information go to www.coldestnightoftheyear.org
A Surrey man who volunteers to coach youth soccer is facing charges in Washington after allegedly pursuing sex with a 12-year-old girl. According to a statement issued Wednesday, a 47-year-old was arrested Tuesday afternoon at a park in Burlington in Washington after crossing into the U.S. at Blaine. The accused coaches a U16 boys team, and has been suspended until further notice, Surrey United Soccer Club executive director Martin Foden confirmed. According to a document filed in U.S. District Court in Seattle, Kuldip “Kelly” Singh Mahal is accused of responding to a “casual encounters” post on Craigslist last month and communicating with what he believed to be a 12-year-old girl. All suspect communications, however – including sexually explicit messages and photos – were sent to an undercover agent with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations. The communications continued even after the agent made “her” age clear, according to the court document. “First off, i just want to make sure ur cool with my age, some guys get freaked out…” the agent states in an excerpt from a Jan. 15 email. Mahal is accused of texting a message the following day indicating he is fine with the age and asking the “girl” to “keep this only between us, no matter what.” Exchanges that followed “continued to increase in their sexual content and graphic nature,” the court document states. continued on page 4

On Wednesday at about 7:30 p.m., Surrey RCMP were called to a report of a cyclist hit in the 12200-block of 90 Avenue. When Mounties arrived, they did not find a cyclist, but discovered a 28-year-old man lying on a grassy shoulder of the street and a 19-year-old woman in a water-filled ditch. Both were taken to hospital and are in stable condition, with possible broken limbs. The driver of the pickup truck remained at the
scene and is cooperating with police. Drugs or alcohol are not believed to be contributing factors in this collision. At the time of the collision, both pedestrians were walking with their backs to traffic and were wearing dark clothing, police said.

If convicted, he faces a minimum of 10 years in jail; the maximum sentence is life in prison. According to U.S. officials, the accused works as a facilities manager for a Vancouver, B.C. tech firm.

Fraser Health defends pay parking policy ▶ HOSPITAL USERS SAY IT’S A HEARTLESS CASH GRAB JEFF NAGEL
Fraser Health is defending its policy of charging for pay parking at most of the region’s hospitals to generate additional revenue. The policy – long denounced by hospital users as a heartless cash grab – came under fire again late last month at a meeting of Fraser’s board of directors in South Surrey. Langley Township resident Harold Nagy demanded to know why Delta and Mission don’t have “this B.S. about pay parking” while patients and visitors must pay at other hospitals. Delta and Mission are the only two municipalities that have bylaws that prohibit pay parking at hospitals. “They should all be free,” Nagy said, adding the charges make some patients worry they’ll run out of time and be fined. “It’s a place of necessity when you go there. It’s not like going out for supper.” About a third of the $8 million
money from pay parking goes to maintain the lots and the rest goes into the authority’s budget for patient care. “Personally, I wish it could be consistent,” Fraser Health board chair Karen Matty told Black Press. “But we do not write bylaws in the various communities.” The Canadian Medical Association Journal once likened pay parking to an unfair user fee that can add stress for patients and disrupt their care if they have to go out and feed a meter. Fraser Health provides free parking passes for renal dialysis patients and grants other financial hardship parking permits on a case-by-case basis. For everyone else, Matty predicts hospital pay parking is here to stay. “Having to pay for parking is something that people need to get their head around,” she said. “I don’t want to pay for parking. But parking seems to be becoming a premium here in B.C., especially the Lower Mainland. And I think we are all getting used to that fact.” Part of the rationale for pay parking is it spurs stall rotation, so some spaces are available when patients and visitors need
them and aren’t hogged all day by users from surrounding businesses. Parking costs $3.50 an hour at most hospitals in the Fraser region, although that starts at $4.25 at Burnaby, Royal Columbian and Surrey Memorial hospitals, while hourly rates are lower in the eastern Fraser Valley – $2.50 in Abbotsford, $1.75 in Chilliwack and free in Hope. White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin said he can’t recall his council ever being asked to outlaw pay parking at Peace Arch Hospital. But he suggested Delta Hospital is a special case because of its location with an abundance of other free parking nearby. “Different situations call for different tactics,” Baldwin said. “If (Delta) put in pay parking probably people would simply park along the roads up to it or around city hall. So it doesn’t make a lot of sense.” Baldwin also noted some pay parking lots at Peace Arch Hospital are actually owned and operated by the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation, with all proceeds going directly to local hospital improvements, not into Fraser’s budget.

VIEWPOINT
The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Tuesday Februar y 10 2015
Bill will come due for bridge users As 42,000 drivers in B.C. are discovering, failure to pay their bridge tolls is resulting in ICBC blocking them from driver’s licence or vehicle insurance renewals. That figure represents an alltime record number of people who have refused or neglected to pay tolls on the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges – 25,000 and 17,000 drivers, respectively – worth $3 million for just the Port Mann. Some feel the measure to deny motorists the ability to drive is overly harsh, and obviously, there is still a level of opposition to the concept of bridge tolling. Still, it’s a surprising number, given that the Golden Ears has been tolled since it opened in 2009, and the Port Mann became tolled in 2012 as a new bridge.
It’s not as though these fees are new or haven’t been thoroughly discussed and debated. The reality is that the movement of traffic through the region requires river crossings, and those structures are astronomically expensive to build. They have to be financed somehow and there are bound to be opponents of every option, including road tolls, increased gas taxes, additional provincial tax – or, as is the case here, user-pay. While there is certainly an argument to be made that south-of-Fraser residents are being unfairly tapped for the lion’s share of the cost for the new bridges, until a more equitable method of paying for transportation infrastructure comes into
RAESIDE
play, it’s pay as you go. As for the denial of licence and insurance renewal, serious consequences are not an unusual result of failing to pay for a service. Don’t pay your hydro and gas bills? Lose your power and gas. Ignore your cell bill? Your phone eventually goes silent. The vast majority of bridge users pay their tolls, many by pre-authorized payment. And fee-ducking drivers are issued three warnings before ICBC issues a “Refuse to Issue” notice. Aside from isolated cases of billing errors, it would seem the system is transparent enough. If you’re using the new bridges, the bill is eventually going to come due.
Post-secondary ‘re-engineering’ begins BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher
Premier Christy Clark’s push to “re-engineer” the B.C. education system is moving ahead aggressively in B.C.’s 25 post-secondary institutions. One of the first tasks for Andrew Wilkinson in his new role as advanced education minister was to outline the shift in operating grants for colleges and universities to in-demand occupations. By 2017, a quarter of the money for post-secondary institutions will be directed to areas where labour force surveys forecast a need. This was greeted with some alarm when it was announced last year. Simon Fraser University president Andrew Petter at first downplayed the coming skills shortage as “relatively small” and warned against pushing post-secondary institutions into a “zero sum battle for dollars.” Petter has since come on board, as his approving comments were featured in the ministry’s Jan. 26 news release detailing the shift. He and others have been assured that in spite of Clark’s rhetoric, suggesting trades training is in and university is out, the news
for SFU and other universities isn’t all that bleak. Wilkinson was completing a province-wide tour of all post-secondary institutions last week, and I reached him at his visit to Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops. “The response to this has generally been pretty good, because the students are putting this pressure on institutions themselves,” he said. “Some of the institutions are… shrinking things like teacher education and putting more effort into the science-based, quantitative fields that are often related to these in-demand occupations.” The surplus of teacher graduates has been noticeable for some time, but that’s largely a function of oversupply, much of it in urban areas. In the Cariboo, for example, teaching jobs are projected to have the highest number of openings by 2022, followed by nursing and retail and wholesale trade managers. Then come heavy duty mechanics and electricians, but also paraprofessional jobs in legal, social, community and educational services.
Provincewide, it’s part of a broader demographic shift to fewer children and more retirees. In fact the government started this targeted funding a decade ago with health care, forcing universities to produce more doctors, nurses, lab techs and so forth. The retiring baby boom is expected to account for more than half of the openings in the next decade, which will expand the skills demand across most fields, beyond the trades training for the anticipated liquefied natural gas industry and other high-demand industrial areas such as truck driving. Wilkinson notes that of the ministry’s $1.9 billion budget, about 60 per cent goes into general post-secondary education, for introductory courses that students take when they are seeking a career path, through undergraduate studies to professions. “So I think the idea that we’re going to somehow minimize or diminish funding in that general education, arts and science category is just

not true,” he said. Key to this shift is measuring the performance of courses offered at colleges, universities and technical schools. Each year, the ministry surveys about 30,000 graduates to find out whether their studies helped them find a related job. The results are available on a website that breaks them out by institution and general study area. To find it, do a web search for “BC student outcomes” and select the “executive dashboard” to check the results for courses and schools in your region. The site provides charts showing the percentage of students who land relevant jobs. Not surprisingly, it tends to be higher for technical programs and lower for fine arts. It also shows grads’ average wages, a sobering but useful bit of information for high school students and their parents. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

▼ THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO TOOK PART IN FUNDRAISER FOR ALZHEIMER’S SUPPORT
CANADIAN
I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the hundreds of volunteers, caregivers, people with dementia, and members of the public who supported the Investors Group Walk for Memories on Jan. 25. The event raised hundreds of thousands of dollars locally and throughout the province. This year’s honouree for the Surrey, North Delta, and White Rock area – a longtime volunteer, Dorothy Gibbs – is grateful for the
response and extends heartfelt best wishes to those diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, as well as to their care partners. More than 70,000 British Columbians have Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. More than 10,000 diagnosed in B.C. are under the age of 65. Many more people are affected, as dementia impacts the whole family and friends. Again, thank you so much for your support. Funds raised will provide hope for today and hope for the future.

▶ HAVE WE BECOME THE CITY OF PIGS? In response to the recent letter from Wally Forder: “Clayton residents, clean up your neighbourhood.” A few years back I wrote a letter to your newspaper suggesting that Surrey change its “title” from City of Parks to City of Pigs. My suggestion still stands. It is not just the Clayton area of Surrey that is disgusting, look around. There is so much trash along the streets and in the parks it is shameful. Even if there are garbage cans available, people will still drop their coffee cups, cigarette butts and food wrappers on the ground as it appears even though the garbage can is only steps away, it is too much of an effort to put the garbage in the can. I have seen cars roll down their windows to throw the garbage on the street and parents walking with their children and allowing the children to drop their papers and wrappers on the ground. The dumping of household items takes place in back alleys and in streams and creeks. What is wrong with the people of Surrey? I have cleaned up numerous times along my street and it never gets better and I am tired of doing it. People of Surrey – clean up your act! There is no reason to drop your garbage on the street. Use a garbage can. It doesn’t take a lot of energy or brain power to figure it out. Bev Fenton

detachment Friday morning, announcing a “long-term vision” called the Violence Free BC strategy. She announced $3 million in civil forfeiture funds will go toward programs aimed at ending violence against women. Civil forfeiture is collected through seized assets from the proceeds of crime. It has generated about $16 million since its creation in 2006. The funds announced Friday will be used
for local anti-violence support services, the opening of a newly integrated domestic violence unit, and an upcoming campaign to raise awareness of the dangers women face. “Violence against women is not a women’s issue – it’s an issue for all of us in British Columbia,” Clark said in a release. “The Violence Free BC strategy is our roadmap to creating a province where each of us does our part, working together, to keep women safe from harm.” The government will also launch a public-awareness campaign in the near future.

But at this time, only the name of the crime would change. Since Kassandra’s tragic death, her mother Markita has worked with other grieving families and created the group ‘Families for Justice.’ They have been lobbying for stiffer pen-
alties for drunk drivers. Families for Justice was hoping to see impaired driving causing death carry a minimum sentence of five years in jail. In 2011, Natasha Warren was speeding, ran a red light, and smashed her van into Kassandra’s car at 152 Street and 64 Avenue. The crash killed

ment, is only the first step. We’ve been fighting for several changes to laws for the last threeand-a-half years and will continue to do so,” said Markita on the Families for Justice Facebook page. One thousand Canadians are killed every year by impaired drivers. Impaired driving is the number-one cause of criminal death in Canada every year, said Warawa, a former ICBC safety co-ordinator. “Family and friends are devastated and their lives are torn apart when this happens,” said Warawa. “In 2011, 22-year-old Kassandra Kaulius was tragically killed by a drunk driver,” he told the House. “Her family joined others who have also lost loved ones to impaired drivers, and created an organization called Families for Justice. Nearly 90,000 Canadians have signed petitions calling for changes to the Criminal Code. “Mr. Speaker, Kassandra’s Law does one thing that Families for Justice and tens of thousands of Canadians are callling for: to call this terrible crime what it truly is: vehicular homicide.” The more than 80,000 people who signed the Families for Justice petition asked that the laws change for those convicted of vehicular homicide would get a minimum sentence of five years up to life in prison. Those convicted of impaired driving causing bodily harm would carry a minimum one-year jail sentence. Each conviction would also carry driving bans.

Lamirand said. The YWCA has a similar program for girls called That’s Just Me, which doesn’t have an issue finding volunteers. “Unfortunately, we consistently struggle with finding male volunteers simply because they are not applying,” Krish said. Surrey Coun. Tom Gill said Surrey is a municipality with an incredible amount of volunteers and he hopes the program can fill the void. “I’m a little bit concerned that this particular group is having some difficulty in being able to find the right individuals to be able to facilitate their programs,” Gill said.

Truck rolls KEVIN DIAKIW
A truck carrying tanks of diesel fuel rolled over an embankment in Whalley last week sending one man to hospital. On Wednesday, at about 4:15 p.m., Surrey Mounties received several calls indicating a vehicle had gone off the road in the 12500-block of 106A Avenue. The pick-up truck had rolled down an embankment and came to rest by a CN Rail right of way. Two occupants fled the vehicle, while the other one was trapped. The 53-year-old Surrey man was extricated and taken to hospital where he was treated for nonlife threatening injuries. While there, the driver of the vehicle was taken to hospital by another friend. The driver is in stable condition.

A loving gift that will outlast Valentine’s Day GREEN SCENE ▼
time of year, but it’s worth the effort. Not all primulas are created equal, and one that really caught my eye is a hardy (Zone 5) Belarina variety called Valentine. It is the deepest, darkest black-red you can imagine and is fully double. Wow, it’s an eye-popper. It can be enjoyed inside for a few days before planting it in the garden or on the patio. Its garden performance is amazing. If your sweetheart is a foodie, there’s a newer rhubarb called Valentine, and yes, it has deep red stalks. Planted now, especially if it’s an established plant, and

you just might get to enjoy an amazing dessert next spring… and for years to come. There are also interesting heart-shaped ivies and ferns that are quite apropos for this occasion and they do well as indoor or outdoor plants. They make a cheerful gift and are inexpensive. Gifting a plant is a wonderful idea and one that will make folks feel great. If it’s a special plant they can enjoy for a long time, like the ones I’ve mentioned, all the better – it will be a gift that is truly appreciated. Brian Minter is a master gardener.

Valentine’s Day is just days away, and if a dozen roses is not on your radar, let me share with you a few suggestions that anyone with a passion for plants would love now and for years to come. One of the best newer perennials is a dicentra (bleeding heart), appropriately named Valentine. Developed in B.C., it has a unique red colour and is a strong, vigorous cultivar. It’s a sun-loving variety and no other bleeding heart comes close to its deep red colour. I would put it on my “must have” list. It might be a little hard to find at this

BC prison crowding probed by auditor ▶ DOUBLE-BUNKED JAIL CELLS INCREASE SAFETY AND SECURITY CONCERNS TOM FLETCHER
B.C. provincial prisons remain overcrowded despite a decline in custodial sentences in recent years, and “safety and security incidents” have increased substantially, a report from B.C.’s Auditor General has found. About half of cells designed for one inmate are double-bunked in the B.C. system, and Auditor General Carol Bellringer concludes that is a contributing factor in maintaining safety in B.C.’s nine facilities for adult inmates. Another factor in crowding is that about half of the roughly 2,500 inmates in the B.C. system on an average day are awaiting trial or sentencing. Safety and security incident reports have been on the rise in most facilities in recent years, with the highest rate of nearly 1,200 a year at Fraser Regional Correctional Centre in Maple Ridge. Nanaimo and Prince George both recorded
nearly 800 incidents a year by 2012, with lower rates at Surrey Pretrial Services Centre, Vancouver Island, North Fraser Pretrial and Kamloops. The auditor’s report says one reason for the increase is that incidents are being reported and tracked on a more systematic basis. Bellringer also notes that there isn’t a clear definition of what constitutes a safety and security incident, and B.C. Corrections doesn’t have a target of what constitutes an acceptable level. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said conditions in B.C. prisons are improving thanks to a $185 million construction program, including an addition to Surrey Pretrial Services Centre, a new women’s wing at Prince George and expansion of Alouette Correctional Centre for Women. A new 300-cell Okanagan adult custody facility at Oliver is under construction, and expected to open in 2016. Anton said that an extra facility will alleviate the space shortage at other facilities, but it remains to be seen if the new prison will allow the removal of tent-like temporary
structures that have housed low-risk inmates at Kamloops and Fraser in recent years. The audit also questioned the availability and effectiveness of rehabilitation programs offered in B.C. prisons. The audit found that only one program, violence prevention, was evaluated and shown to reduce the likelihood of reoffending. The five core programs operated in B.C. provincial prisons are: • Respectful relationships, to help inmates understand and eliminate abusive behaviours. • Substance abuse management, to reduce relapse and develop healthier lifestyles. • Violence prevention, designed to reduce aggressive behaviour. • Emotional management for women. • Relationship skills for women. Correctional centres also offer life skills, vocational, literacy and school extension programs. All programs are voluntary, and with an average sentenced stay of 71 days, some inmates aren’t in custody long enough to complete studies even if they want to.

Lack of addiction treatment flagged LIVINGSTONE Denture Clinic ▶ PROLIFIC CRIME TIED TO DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MENTAL ILLNESS JEFF NAGEL
A blue ribbon panel on crime reduction has urged the province to concentrate even more on the few prolific offenders who commit most offences and expand drug addiction treatment and services for the mentally ill. Chaired by Abbotsford-South MLA and criminologist Darryl Plecas, the panel appointed by Justice Minister Suzanne Anton also urges the province to appoint a senior crime fighting leader to get different agencies to work better together. The province has already passed legislation that will allow it to force hold-out municipalities to join specialized policing teams, such as the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. The panel report said lack of access for drug and alcohol addiction treatment was “a major issue” it heard across the province, and was told that in Port Hardy, for example, 500 people needed treatment but there were only six treatment beds. “The lack of funding for abstinence-based and other recovery support programs was described as a serious issue everywhere and as one of the main reasons for the high rates
of recidivism observed across the province amongst offenders suffering from substance abuse disorder.” The report recommends spending more money on drug addiction treatment and mental health services, citing estimates that every dollar spent curing addiction cuts drug related-crime and justice costs by up to $7, and $12 if health care costs are counted. The report also calls for a task force to probe problems with the proliferation of unlicensed and sometimes “predatory” drug recovery houses. It noted there are 240 drug recovery houses in the Fraser Health region but just eight are properly licensed. Jail doesn’t stop persistent offenders, the report said, adding it’s “particularly ineffective” with the severely addicted or mentally ill. More than two-thirds of offenders in the corrections system in 2012 were repeat offenders, and 40 per cent had 10 or more convictions. Police have been targeting prolific offenders as pilot projects for several years in Surrey, Prince George, Williams Lake, Kamloops, Victoria and Nanaimo. Analysts sift data to anticipate repeat crimes, identified chronic offenders are watched more closely on release and they get social supports that help them break away from the crime track.
The re-offence rate of those those career criminals dropped 40 per cent in the first year after release, while more of them took up offers of housing and social services, and had less contact with police. The report recommends that approach be taken province-wide, noting crime rates in B.C. have fallen faster than anywhere else in North America, in part because of crime reduction strategies. The province should also aim to monitor more offenders with electronic ankle brace-
lets, the report said, and improve rehabilitation and treatment programs for inmates. The province has not yet committed to act on the report. Anton said one new step under consideration is a regional integrated community safety partnership pilot project that would bring together various agencies to refocus resources, but where and how it might unfold is to be determined. She also pledged to expand job training for offenders to help them return to society.
SFU criminologist Rob Gordon called expanded use of wraparound services to help offenders re-enter society a “sensible approach.” But he said the report had few surprises and mainly recommended “more of the same” – including more use of integrated police teams rather than any more radical police service reform. “It still does not address the hot spot areas where crime has been a major problem, the most obvious one being Surrey,” Gordon said.

Multiple charges laid after assault ▶ DANIEL BURGESS ARRESTED AFTER TEEN HURT IN WHALLEY SHEILA REYNOLDS
A 31-year-old man is facing eight charges following an incident last month that was initially reported as a shooting. Police responded to reports of a man with a gun threatening a woman in the early afternoon of Jan. 26 at a house near 128 Street and 100 Avenue. When officers arrived, they found a 17-year-old woman with a serious head wound who said she’d been shot. An airsoft
replica gun was found at the scene and police later determined the victim had been assaulted, not shot. The woman was treated in hospital and released the same afternoon. Daniel Burgess has since been charged with five counts of assault with a weapon, one of assault causing bodily harm, one of using an imitation firearm and one of break and enter. Surrey RCMP say there were several people in the home at the time of the incident. Burgess initially fled on foot but was arrested nearby. Police believe Burgess and the teen knew one another.

Metro shakes up garbage tipping fees ▶ RESIDENTS TO PAY MORE, BIG TRUCKS MAY GET A BREAK JEFF NAGEL
Metro Vancouver is proposing to slash its garbage tipping fee for large-volume haulers by about 25 per cent while raising the rates ordinary residents pay to drop off smaller loads at transfer stations. The shift to a tiered structure for waste disposal fees is the regional district’s attempt to staunch a growing flow of commercial haulers
taking garbage out of the region to landfills in the U.S. The recommendation, if approved by the board this month, would drop the current $109 per tonne tipping fee to $80 for trucks that haul more than nine tonnes, while the fee for small loads of up to one tonne would jump to $130 per tonne. Medium loads would continue to pay $109 per tonne. An additional $5 transaction fee would also be added to all loads. The minimum fee for small household loads
would rise from $10 to $15 per load and the average small load charge would climb from $22 to $31, according to a staff report that went to Metro’s zero waste committee Thursday. Small loads account for most of the costs of the system and had been subsidized by larger haulers that can be handled more efficiently, but the report warned that model is becoming unsustainable as more commercial haulers opt for cheaper out-of-region disposal, estimated to cost them $70 to $80 a tonne.

It’s expected to cost more to drop off small loads of garbage at Metro Vancouver transfer stations to enable the regional district to cut its rates for large commercial haulers. FILE PHOTO Metro board chair said Greg Moore said the reduced rate for large trucks should win back that business for Metro, which had forecast 130,000 tonnes would go out of region this year. “We heard loud and clear we needed to make some changes,” Moore said. “Hopefully haulers decide to keep the gar-
bage in region because it’s cost competitive not to haul it out to Abbotsford and run it down to the U.S.” Recapturing the lost waste would bring back lost tipping fees needed to support the region’s recycling initiatives and help ensure customers abide by Metro disposal bans that aren’t enforced elsewhere.
Metro had tried to outlaw out-of-region waste exports with its Bylaw 280. But that was rejected by the provincial government last fall after strong lobbying by various business groups that feared they would pay ever higher Metro tipping fees if they were denied an out-of-region alternative.

“Now that we’ve addressed that concern – in a very progressive and aggressive way – I would hope the business community would get on board with this and that the savings would be passed on to the businesses and not just be kept by the haulers,” Moore said. The amount of garbage being hauled out of the region was 60-per cent higher in December than the same month a year earlier. The declining garbage volumes at Metro transfer stations have translated into less money from tipping fees for Metro and was forecast to mean a $4.5 million deficit for the regional district in 2015. That’s forecast to ease to $3 million this year with the rate change. Metro officials don’t believe the hike in fees for small loads will trigger a surge in illegal dumping, which is already a significant concern and expense for municipalities. Moore said he believes the proposal “hits the right balance” between offering a lower price to win back big loads while avoiding not raising small load rates so much as to trigger a sharp jump in illegal dumping. He also acknowledged there’s concern among some recycling industries that the lower rate for large loads may mean less incentive for recycling. Loads taken to the Maple Ridge transfer station are charged an extra $4 per tonne to support local recycling. One other area where different tipping fees would be applied is at the Metro-run Matsqui transfer station in Abbotsford. The City of Abbotsford has stopped sending single family residential garbage to the Matsqui transfer station and Metro says tipping fees there must rise to $150 per tonne to ensure cost recovery. The changes would take effect April 6 if the new tipping fee bylaw is approved. Metro continues to pursue the procurement of a new waste-to-energy plant. Critics of Bylaw 280 had argued the effort to force waste to stay in region was aimed at retaining a fuel source for a new incinerator as well as the tipping fee revenue required to build it.

Utilities commission to be restored by province The B.C. government has promised to restore the B.C. Utilities Commission’s (BCUC) independent role in setting electricity rates and add more full-time commissioners to help them do it. Energy Minister Bill Bennett released an independent review of the commission last Wednesday, and said the government intends to implement all 35 recommendations. Authority over setting BC Hydro rates for commercial and residential customers won’t be restored until 2017, after Bennett and Premier Christy Clark stepped in to cap rate increases in 2013. The review comes after the government exempted big-ticket projects from BCUC review, including the Site C dam on the Peace River, the wireless electricity meter system and a new

of the utility’s debt. BC Hydro rates are to increase six per cent this year under the province’s directive, and then be capped at four per cent for the two years after that. “After the first five years of the 10-year plan they [BCUC]
will be back in charge of setting rates,” Bennett said. NDP energy critic Adrian Dix said the B.C. Liberal government has been overruling and sidelining the BCUC since 2003 when it directed BC Hydro to buy power from private producers. He said its political intervention on rising BC Hydro rates is designed to continue holding down rate increases until after the 2017 election. Dix said it’s also no coincidence that Bennett received the independent review in November and held onto it until after the government had announced its decision to proceed with construction of the Site C dam. The review panel and the regulated utilities agreed that the government has authority to set provincial energy policy and direct the BCUC on specific issues. But the report adds that the government should define those policies well in advance and “then leave the commission to act independently within its mandate.”
Rent controls here to stay ▶ NO CHANGE TO FORMULA CAPPING RENT HIKES JEFF NAGEL
The provincial government will not change B.C.’s system of limiting rent increases, reeling in a trial balloon floated by Housing Minister Rich Coleman that the current controls might be relaxed. Coleman’s ministry says the maximum annual rent increase for 2015 will be 2.5 per cent, following the usual formula of two per cent plus inflation. Ministry spokesperson Sandra Steilo said no further review of the rent control policy is planned. “It’s been looked at and we’re going to keep the current formula as it is,” she said. Coleman had suggested in early December that higher annual increases might be considered because property taxes and utility bills often rise faster than landlords are permitted to raise the rent. Landlord B.C., an association of rental housing owners and managers, had been lobbying for reform. “We’ve proposed the outright phasing out of rent controls,” said
David Hutniak, CEO of Landlord B.C. “It’s a deterrent to developers investing in purpose-built rental buildings. We haven’t seen anything of consequence built in 20-plus years.” NDP housing critic David Eby had argued
against any change, saying renters need the predictable rent increases in order to budget and eroding the current controls would result in housing insecurity and unaffordable cost increases for thousands of residents.

transmission line to northwest B.C. that ran $300 million over the original budget. Bennett announced the government directive on BC Hydro rates after the 2013 election, with a 10-year plan that increases rates 28 per cent over five years. He acknowledged at the time that rate increases were being kept low using a “rate smoothing” account that defers more than $1 billion

First ‘elder in residence’ for Kwantlen ▶ LEKEYTEN IS A WELLKNOWN MEMBER OF THE KWANTLEN FIRST NATION BLACK PRESS
Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) welcomed its first elder in residence at a special installation ceremony at its Surrey campus recently. Lekeyten, a well-known and respected member of the Kwantlen First Nation in Fort Langley, has taken on this important role. “In my travels, I have always been respectful of the teachings of people, and I’m always learning,” Lekeyten told the audience of friends, family and KPU faculty and staff. “I’m coming to join every classroom, and I’m going to learn as well.” One of 20 Kwantlen First Nation elders, Lekeyten grew up attending day school. While they were similar to residential

schools, day schools did not require students to stay overnight and they returned home at the end of every day. But the teachings were the same, said Lekeyten, and he and his classmates were taught to be quiet. As a result, Lekeyten spent more time in nature than in school. Fast forward to adulthood, and Lekeyten has found his voice. He has been avidly involved for more than 20 years as a guest speaker and presenter at all levels of elementary, secondary and post-secondary education, as well as trades and conferences in the Lower Mainland. His talks are about the environment, land and water use, fishing, and issues of conservation and its traditional importance. His advice at the elder in residence installation ceremony: “Never shut up.” The installation included warm remarks from many who

instructor Laura Cooper spoke of her lengthy friendship with Lekeyten. She said he taught her how to be a better instructor and a better human being. The latter lessons he also shared with students. “I still get emails from students whose lives have been touched, and these students are in their 40s.” Speaking directly to Lekeyten, Cooper expressed her gratitude for his teaching students and instructors to be more humble and more compassionate. KPU criminology instructor Lisa Monchalin, who is of Algonquin, Metis and Huron descent, described Lekeyten as one of the most honest and intelligent people she’s ever met, and said KPU is honoured to have him as its first elder in residence. President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Alan Davis described how all new students at KPU are greeted at the start of their studies at

Speaking for Lekeyten’s family, many of whom were present at the installation, Kwantlen First Nation elder Kevin Kelly noted “today is a wonderful day.” The primary focus of the elder in residence program is to support and encourage Aboriginal students on their educational journey. Lekeyten will share knowledge, traditions and teachings with individual students and groups and will work with the university to encourage and promote understanding and respect for indigenous perspectives, culture and values.
Peace activist to speak in Surrey ▶ JEFF HALPER AT NORTHWOOD UNITED CHURCH BLACK PRESS
Israeli academic and longtime peace activist Dr. Jeff Halper is coming to the Lower Mainland on Feb. 10 and 12 to speak about the future of Israel and Palestine. The events, titled Beyond Fear and Violence are at the end of a cross-Canada multi-city speaking tour. On Feb. 10 at 7:30 p.m., he will speak at Northwood United Church (8855 156 St.) in Surrey. On Feb. 12, he will speak at 1:30 p.m. at the University of British Columbia and at 7:30 p.m. at the Peretz Centre in Vancouver. All events are free, with admission by donation. “Dr. Halper has lived in Israel for more than 40 years and dedicated most of his adult life to working for a just and enduring resolution to the conflict,” said Rabbi
David Mivasair, a local representative of Independent Jewish Voices, one of the organizers of the tour. “His insights go a long way to dismantling the stereotypes and myths that so often inform many of us. We’re excited to host him, as the large turnouts at his talks in eastern Canada make it clear that Canadians want to hear what he has to say.” Halper is the author of several books on the conflict and is the co-founder and director of The Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (icahd.org), a human rights and peace organization. In 2006 he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The United Network for a Just Peace in Palestine and Israel (UNJPPI) is also organizing the tour. A number of local organizations are sponsoring the Lower Mainland events. For more information, call 604-781-7839, email halperbctour@ gmail, or visit www. ijvcanada.org or www. unjppi.org

Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Model United Nations (KMUN) team can sure talk. Founded just three years ago, KMUN is already racking up awards, collecting three at the annual Model UN conference at UBC in Vancouver in January. Vic Herr was named Best Delegate while Aaron Philip won the award for Most Diplomatic, and Kurt Renvall took home an Honourable Mention for Most Diplomatic at UBCMUN. “UBCMUN was an incredible opportunity to grow as a public speaker and advocate for important issues affecting our world today,” said Herr, who competed as a delegate of Kuwait in the Economic and Social Council of Western Asia discussing youth unemployment and sustainable water resources in the region. Philip and Renvall were both delegates from the United Kingdom. Philip discussed migrant smuggling in the context of crime prevention and criminal justice; Renvall, meanwhile, discussed the effect of telecommunications on international security.
Princess Project founder Karen Pruim is presented the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award. SUBMITTED
“In my committee, we passed a resolution that would tackle private sector corruption in the area of migrant smuggling,” said Philip. “I got to know all the people in my committee and can say I have friends at UBC, the University of Victoria, the University of Calgary, and University of Washington.” For Renvall, UBCMUN “made me feel like a real diplomat.” “UBCMUN provided a great opportunity to use knowledge and skills gained from KPU.” KMUN was inaugurated by students and co-presidents Sana Sohel and Saed Abu-Haltam in spring 2013 and is now offered as a political science course taught by instructor Francis Abiew. Previous KMUN award winners include Renvall and Saed AbuHaltam, who won Diplomacy Awards at Harvard’s WorldMUN in Australia 2013, and Chelanna White, who was named a Distinguished Delegate at NorthWestMUN in Seattle. Patrick McIlveen was KMUN’s head delegate at UBCMUN and he describes his team discussing strategy and solutions for their respective topics well into the night. He says it was a fantastic challenge and opportunity for each of the 12 team members. The team next heads to Portland, Oregon later this month to compete in the NorthWest Model UN, and to Korea in March for the WorldMUN. Every year approximately 400,000 students take part in MUN conferences around the world.
Treated like a princess – for good reason Karen Pruim been awarded the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award in recognition of her contribution to the community. The Caring Canadian Award, which was established by the former Governor General Roméo LeBlanc, recognizes individuals who volunteer their time to help others and to build a smart and caring nation. Pruim runs The Princess Project Society, which gives hundreds of underprivileged teens the opportunity to dress up like princesses at their graduation ceremonies, at no cost. The society, based in Surrey, is non-profit and volunteer-run.
