▶ COURT BATTLES, REGULATORY DECISIONS STALL TERMINAL AT FRASER SURREY DOCKS JEFF NAGEL

Opponents of a proposed new coal export terminal on the Fraser River in Surrey have lost one legal challenge, but other court battles and regulatory decisions continue to hold up the project. Fraser Surrey Docks got approval last summer from Port Metro Vancouver to build the $15-million facility to reload

four million tonnes of coal per year from trains rolling through White Rock and South Surrey onto barges, but it has yet to begin construction. Climate change activists fighting the project tried to overturn the province’s approval of increased coal storage on Texada Island – where the barges are to be emptied and ocean-going freight-

ers loaded – but a B.C. Supreme Court judge last week upheld the government decision. Another court case filed by Fraser Surrey Docks challenges Metro Vancouver’s jurisdiction over regional air quality on federally regulated port lands. continued on page 4

DRUGGED DRIVERS A TOP PRIORITY FOR B.C. POLICE CHIEFS ▶ 7.3% OF DRIVERS SMOKED POT PRIOR TO CRASH INJURY, STUDY SHOWS

JEFF NAGEL

Drug-impaired drivers who roam the roads mostly undetected are a top traffic safety priority for B.C. police chiefs.

Their association wants the federal government to approve a roadside testing device that would make it easier for officers to arrest stoned and otherwise drugged drivers.

“Whether it’s marijuana or prescription drugs, there are people that are driving high and for a large part it goes undetected because we don’t have a really good tester

and we don’t have many drug recognition experts,” said Transit Police hief Neil Dubord, who chairs the traffic committee of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police.

Officers can arrest and usually issue a 24-hour suspension to a driver who is seriously drug-impaired. continued on page 4

School program wins $50,000 prize ▼ SURREY SCHOOL DISTRICT CHOSEN AS INAUGURAL WINNER OF CMOLIK PRIZE FOR ENHANCEMENT OF PUBLIC EDUCATION IN B.C. SHEILA REYNOLDS

An e-portfolio program in Surrey that supplements traditional report cards by recording and sharing student learning with parents daily has been chosen the winner of a $50,000 award. The Surrey School District’s Making Learning Visible initiative was one of 28 entries shortlisted for the Cmolik Prize for Enhancement of Public Education in B.C. and among three shortlisted for the prize. The winner was announced April 2. The Surrey program invites teachers to capture student learning by taking digital photos, video and notes as opportunities arise, filing them in a student’s e-portfolio, which can then be shared in real time with parents. The system allows parents to monitor and support (with teachers) their child’s progress at any time, without having to wait for a report card to arrive or for school work to come home in a backpack. It also helps students take charge of their learning and improvement. Robyn Thiessen, the winning entry’s co-author and a teacher at Green Timbers Elementary, was among eight Surrey educators who began exploring the concept of e-portfolios three years ago using the online tool FreshGrade. The online reporting system has now been implemented in several kindergarten to Grade 9 classes at 35 Surrey public schools. The district says there continues to be great demand by teachers to participate in the program, as well as interest expressed from educators nationally and internationally. “The use of a digital portfolio fosters student engagement in learning by allowing students to choose evidence and artifacts that illustrate their personal growth. Students then create actions plans to improve their growth,” explains Thiessen. continued on page 4

Tom Colclough checks on his crop of 6,000 strawberry plants he has growing in a custom-built biodome in his Surrey backyard. The self-contained structure is the first of its kind in Canada. EVAN SEAL

Surrey resident builds unique food biodome

▼ ECOTECH STRUCTURE THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN CANADA; AIMS TO TACKLE GLOBAL AGRICULTURE CHALLENGES LAUREN COLLIINS

Driving down 184 Street near 42 Avenue, there are plenty of farms, however one Surrey backyard boasts a 3,000-sq.-ft. biodome. Tom Colclough has been working on the lightweight structure for four years and describes its as a “one-man building.” “I built this thing. I did the riveting, the welding, the concrete pouring, even the excavation. I did everything to it.” Inside Colclough’s biodome is a crop of 6,000 strawberry plants stacked five tiers high, growing in a soil-less environment and fed hydroponically. Since it’s a closed system, the biodome uses 10 times less water than conventional farming, utilizing rainwater and reverse osmosis of well water. “We use a lot less water. I only feed these babies twice a day,” Colclough said. He said he’d eventually ▶ “These are issues like to grow food of ethnic varieties, but he chose that are important strawberries because the to me: food security results are almost immediate. and nutrition, but Colclough said innovaalso where your tive agriculture has been a longtime interest. food is coming “What made me want from.” to do it was nutrition,” Colclough said. “These are TOM COLCLOUGH issues that are important

to me: food security and nutrition, but also where your food is coming from.” Colclough was a nurse with the National Health Service in the United Kingdom in his 20s. He also spent many years working in the health care industry in Africa. Now 40 years later, Colclough hopes the biodome will address the planet’s growing need for food. “We actually want to grow food in hostile places… or places where they haven’t got the resources.” Tom Baumann, a University of the Fraser Valley agricultural technology professor, said by the end of 2050, the planet will have to feed 9 billion people. “With this model of vertical gardening, you can have five times the output on the same footprint of land.” The biodome was made for Eco Energy Tech Canada (EcoTech) and the company envisions the domes being used by schools, hospitals, food aid programs, commercial growers and governments. The biodome is the first of it’s kind in Canada to be built with thin layers of thermoplastic Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE). The layers are welded together and filled with air to create soft pillows. ETFE is extremely strong and can withstand the elements while remaining stable. The material is 0.2 per cent the weight of glass, has more flexibility and can be built higher. Because of the dome’s lightweight material, it can be built on top of buildings in urban centres. Colclough said research involved with the prototype will help design an even better, stronger model. “We need to know how to improve it, so when we go to the commercial side we’re a step ahead of the game.” Colclough said his biodome is the prototype, but the intention is to build future ETFE biodomes as big as 300,000 square feet. EcoTech plans to publicly sell shares on various international stock exchanges. It also plans to market a larger model, most likely in China.

That case, set to be heard starting in June, resulted from Fraser Surrey Docks’ dispute of a $1,000 ticket it received from Metro for excessive dust emissions from its grain handling operation. It’s expected to be a major test of the region’s authority. The company has so far held off on applying to Metro for an air quality permit for the coal facility – it won’t need one if it wins in court. Fraser Surrey Docks has, however, applied for a Metro permit to discharge treated waste water used to wash down incoming coal loads through the sewer system to the Annacis Island treatment plant rather than treating the effluent itself and discharging it to the Fraser River. That’s in

the midst of a Metro-ordered period for public comment. Also working its way through the legal system is a challenge of the port’s approval of the project filed in Federal Court by the opposition group Communities and Coal. Opponents will argue the port authority failed to consider climate change implications of the project and that it was biased, failing to meaningfully consult stakeholders before issuing the permit. Anti-coal activist Kevin Washbrook said that case won’t be heard until the fall at the earliest but the cities of Surrey and New Westminster are this month applying for intervenor status to join the case in support of the opposition. The coal export project would carry U.S. thermal coal from Wyoming for export to Asia but is resisted by neighbours who

sure levels of cannabis or other drugs. But Dubord said there are “amazing” mobile testing systems available in the U.S. that can detect 27 different drugs from a saliva swab. He said federal approval of a roadside device is probably a couple of years away. But he said it could allow not just criminal

impairment charges but potentially the addition of drug use to B.C.’s system of automatic roadside suspensions and impoundments for drunk driving. “With the proper tool, we may be able to get there as well,” Dubord said, adding accuracy of the testing technology would have to be assured.

The most recent study by researchers, published by the B.C. Medical Journal, found 5.4 per cent of drivers randomly checked in roadside surveys in 2012 had cannabis in their systems, followed by 4.1 per cent with cocaine and 1.7 per cent with amphetamines. Separate testing of drivers hospitalized with

trauma injuries following crashes found 12.6 per cent were positive for cannabis, with 7.3 per cent showing recent use. “Cannabis slows reaction times, causes weaving, creates difficulty maintaining a constant speed, and predisposes to distraction,” Dr. Jeff Brubacher wrote this month in the B.C. Medical Journal. Brubacher said research so far suggests acute cannabis use roughly doubles the risk of crashing, while more research is needed to understand the crash risk from prescription drugs as well as cocaine and amphetamines. The political debate over potential marijuana reform in Canada is also a factor driving the police chiefs’ agenda.

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Wednesday April 8 2015

Where will all the new residents live? A report issued by Vancity Credit Union last week is deeply disturbing. The report says that, if there is no significant downturn in the Lower Mainland housing market, Langley will be the only community in Metro Vancouver which will be affordable for most home buyers 15 years from now. The report states the average price for housing in Vancouver at that time will be more than $2 million. This is completely unaffordable for most people. Prices in surrounding communities will also rise accordingly, and even today, Vancity says housing remains affordable in only five communities – Langley City, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Port Coquitlam and New Westminster. Do we want this area to be

a place where people can only afford to rent? Given that rents are rising as well, even that may not be an option for some people. There is no question that housing prices have continued to rise due to steady demand. The demand has continued in large part due to record-low interest rates. While it is likely they will stay low for at least as long as the Canadian economy faces challenges, sooner or later they will rise. Housing prices in Vancouver, the North Shore and Richmond have also been heavily influenced by foreign buyers, who pay high prices in desirable areas, often for homes they will never live in. While there is nothing

RAESIDE

wrong with foreign investment, the continued blind eye to this activity by all levels of government is wrong-headed. At the very least, non-resident buyers should be paying higher property purchase tax rates, and should also pay higher property taxes – as is the case in some American jurisdictions. This would give the provincial and municipal governments more revenue and perhaps serve as a slight deterrent. Ads from the “yes’”side in the transit plebiscite say one million more people are coming here. Where will they live and how will they afford it? Keeping housing affordable should be a priority for all levels of government.

B.C.’s labour market goes global BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

The labour situation in B.C. is showing increased signs of strain, even before a long-promised boom in heavy construction gets set to ramp up this summer. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond announced last week that B.C. is suspending its “provincial nomination” program for 90 days. This program allows the province to recommend people for federal immigration, based on skills in demand in B.C. The B.C. provincial nomination program saw its number of applications triple to 1,200 for the month of December, as the federal government cracked down on the temporary foreign worker program. Thousands of temporary foreign workers who have hit the four-year deadline are being sent home, with many of them turning to the provincial nomination track. Bond has been pleading with Ottawa to raise B.C.’s annual provincial nomination quota from 5,000 to 7,000 or more. The three-month pause is so her ministry can add staff and speed up

processing time. Backlogged applicants will still be considered, and exemptions for health care workers and a northeast pilot program are being maintained. Even with the current slump in energy prices and before anticipated pipeline and liquefied natural gas projects start, the labour shortage in the northeast is near crisis. The last time I was in Dawson Creek, radio ads were offering signing bonuses for qualified truck drivers. In Fort St. John, grocery and hardware retailers have come to depend on foreign workers to keep going. While supposedly educated young people work part-time and refuse to leave the comforts of southern city life, this is the reality up north, and it’s only going to get worse. This summer, work is scheduled to start on the Site C dam on the Peace River, the most costly construction project in B.C. history. And a union vs. non-union battle reminiscent of the old Expo 86 labour wars is underway.

The B.C. and Yukon Building Trades (BCYT) are demanding a project agreement that requires all workers on Site C to be paid their rates, and are warning of chaos on the huge project if they don’t get their way. BC Hydro CEO Jessica McDonald told me that’s not all they want. They are also seeking quotas for members of their unions on a project that will be a small city of 1,700 people at peak construction. BCYT executive director Tom Sigurdson says that while all sides acknowledge the need for foreign workers for Site C, he wants to control that too, working with their affiliated unions in the United States. There will be non-union construction firms, some of them owned by aboriginal communities in the north. There will be contractors affiliated with the Christian Labour Association of Canada. The BCYT hopes to set wages and conditions for them

all, and influence Ottawa’s temporary foreign worker program to boot. McDonald and Premier Christy Clark have politely told them to pound sand. Their formula would add millions in costs to the project, driving up BC Hydro rates even more than they are already rising. BC Hydro has already done dam upgrade projects using a “managed open site” model and it’s not inclined to return to the era of W.A.C. Bennett as Sigurdson demands. Sigurdson makes a valid point that when two concrete masons compare paycheques on the Site C project and one sees he’s making $5 an hour less, he won’t be happy. He will want the higher rate, and the BCYT is taking BC Hydro to court to ensure they can recruit new members on the site. It looks like a hot summer ahead.

▼ ASK A STUDENT: INCREASING SALES TAX WON’T IMPROVE THE TRANSIT SYSTEM I read an article in The Leader on how the Kwantlen Student Association is supporting a “yes” vote for the transit referendum. How can KSA come up with a position without asking the students of the school first? Also, although it is true that the transit system is currently in a horrendous state and is insufficient when it comes to service, we all know that this tax will not be put adequate use. By the looks of it, I’m sure they’ll just increase some more salaries and before we know it the tax will rise from 0.5 per cent to two per cent in a year or two. It has been clearly proven that TransLink has more than enough money to apply changes so that we have a better-running system.

Health care workers go above and beyond Re. Thank you To Surrey Hospital & Outpatient Centre Foundation This letter seeks to convey to you my sincerest thanks for saving my life. I was transported by ambulance to Surrey Memorial Hospital’s emergency department on Dec. 27 2014 suffering from high fever, intermittent periods of rigors (shaking), vomiting, abnormal heartbeat, failing kidneys, dehydration and extreme coldness throughout my body. Unknown to me at that time I was very close to death. Upon arrival I was immediately admitted and, thereafter, for approximately five weeks, became witness to an amazing demonstration of coordination of science, human dedication and professional commitment. I now know that I was suffering from the effects of a “super bug” which manifests itself in the form of a bacteria causing an abscess on my liver. The poison being emitted throughout my body was killing me. The type of bacteria and its source was, at first, a mystery to everyone. With impressive speed I was subjected to an array of tests, and international diseases specialists and the exploratory work of the lab technicians found the probable source of the rare bacteria to be an Asian country where I frequently travel as an Asian and Pacific Rim consultant. Following two days in intensive care, I was admitted to hospital where I stayed for almost two weeks. During that time I counted at least 12 doctors and specialists who contributed to my care. It became evident to me these people were working and consulting together on a regular basis to ensure my complete recovery.

This spirit of teamwork extended to the hospital ward where I was cared for by a staff of nurses and attendants who, despite a huge diversity of culture and nationality, were obviously trained to an equally high and consistent professional standard. It was a pleasure to see doctors and nurses sharing a joke and laughing together in a light moment, while performing duties, even after a 12-hour shift. I felt every effort was made to keep me comfortable and fully informed with respect to my progress and I was told the real facts at all times. This commitment to care and compassion extended to the orderlies who delivered me by stretcher to various places for medical procedures and also to those who delivered meals, etc. Everyone with whom I came into contact brought a genuine warmth to their workplace. Upon discharge I was referred to Gateway Outpatient Care Clinic, where I continued to receive antibiotic therapy until Jan. 28. Throughout, I received the highest level of attention. Also of special note is the pharmacy staff at the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Care Centre who maintained constant contact with me, including the arranging of delivery of antibiotics and medical supplies to my home. I believe it is insufficient to assume the people who engaged in my recovery were “simply doing their job.” To the many people I met and those I shall never meet, who are so dedicated to their chosen field, I, my family and loved ones offer our most profound thanks. LLewelyn (Llew) Breese

Saving life and limb On Feb. 7, I was admitted to emergency at Surrey Memorial Hospital with a condition known as septicemia. By definition, it is a “morbid condition of the blood system due to infection by pathogenic micro-organisms.” My internal organs were in the process of shutting down and I was barely conscious. Upon entering ER, I was attended to by an amazing team of doctors and nurses who immediately provided me with bags of antibiotics and whatever else was required. Facing the possibility of losing my lower leg to amputation, I underwent surgery which was successful in saving my leg – notwithstanding its deplorable condition. From ER I was taken to the Intensive Care Unit where I remained for 13 days. Incoherent and drifting in and out of consciousness, I was attended to by the most caring, compassionate nurses imaginable. Their dedication to helping people is to be commended. Subsequently, I was transferred to a general ward where I received the same level of attention. Twenty-two days after being admitted to emergency, I walked out of the hospital – tired and weakened but nonetheless walking. Those who participated in caring for me – including two individuals from our paramedical system – and nurturing me back to health are too many to name, but I extend my heartfelt appreciation for their dedication in caring for those such as myself who need their expertise. My family and I would like to thank you, the staff at Surrey Memorial Hospital, for saving my life. Jon Inglis

The issue is that the big CEOs and management sitting behind closed doors of fancy buildings are using the taxpayers’ money on themselves. I mean how can a CEO of a company that is only prevalent here in the Lower Mainland (TransLink) earn more than the person running an entire country – Stephen Harper in this case? It makes no sense. Although it is true that the current public transport system is hurting students (I use it multiple times every day), increasing a tax will not change anything, especially if their main goals are LRT and building a new Port Mann Bridge.

A man accused of killing another man in Surrey in early 2013 and murdering two women in New Westminster later the same year has pleaded guilty. Sarbjit Bains was facing trial for the death of 29-year-old Amritpal Saran, whose burned body was found beside Colebrook Road in south Newton on Feb. 24, 2013. Bains was initially charged last year with

PA R K S R E C R E AT I O N & C U LT U R E

second-degree murder in the Surrey case, but on Thursday in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster, pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter. Bains, 33, was also charged and facing trial in connection with the murders of Jill Lyons, who was found dead in an apartment in New Westminster on Aug. 12, 2013 and Karen Nabors, who was found dead in the same building 13 days later. Bains pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder for the deaths of Lyons, 45, and Nabors, 48. Bains’ former girlfriend, Evelina Urbaniak, 37, admitted in February to her role after Saran’s death, pleading guilty to interfering with a dead body. She received a twoyear conditional sentence followed by three years probation. During her sentencing, the court heard

that Bains and Urbaniak had a troubled, abusive relationship and had been together for about two years. Their lives “revolved around drugs,” the judge heard. According to a statement of facts agreed upon by Crown and defence lawyers, on the

night of Saran’s death, he had been partying with Bains and Urbaniak. Urbaniak went to bed and later, when Bains found Saran in bed with her, he became enraged. Lawyers said Urbaniak said she heard the two men fighting in another room, but didn’t

know what happened until she saw Saran dead. She and Bains went and bought plastic bins and gasoline and returned to the apartment. They put Saran in the bins and drove to a secluded portion of Colebrook Road, dumped Saran’s body, poured gasoline over it and lit it on fire. Saran’s family submitted victim impact statements prior to Urbaniak’s sentencing. “No parent should ever have to endure those circumstances,” wrote Saran’s mother. Because Bains pleaded guilty prior to the case going to trial, details surrounding the murders of Lyons and Nabors have not been made public. The women were reportedly both mothers and both worked as online escorts. They were each found in their own suites in the apartment building in the 200-block of 11th Street. The evidence in Lyons’ death initially pointed to suicide, but after Nabors was found dead, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was called and women “engaged in a high-risk lifestyle” were warned to take extra precautions. Bains’ sentencing is scheduled for June 26. Second-degree murder carries an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for between 10 and 25 years. Sentences for manslaughter can vary from probation to life in prison.

North Delta shootings ▶ NO ONE INJURED IN SEPARATE SUNDAY NIGHT INCIDENTS KEVIN DIAKIW

Delta Police are investigating two shootings that occurred in North Delta on Sunday night. At just before 6 p.m. April 5, police received reports of shots fired in the 11500-block of 79 Avenue. Upon arrival, police found evidence that shots had been fired, but found no signs of injury or damage to property. Witnesses say they saw a silver Toyota leaving the area following the shooting. Then at 9 p.m. Sunday, police responded to another call of shots fired, this time in the 8300-block of

110 Street. The residence had been targeted previously and was not occupied at the time of Sunday’s shooting. Police believe the intended target of the shooting is a male who is known to police, but has not lived at the address for some time. Delta Police continue to investigate the shootings and identify links between other related incidents. The two latest shootings come after a dozen in Surrey since early March. Delta police are investigating the possibility of any links between the events. Police urge anyone with information to contact Delta Police at 604-946-4411 or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Woman dies in car crash BLACK PRESS

A woman is dead after a serious car accident in Fleetwood on the weekend. At just before 6 a.m. Saturday (April 4), Surrey RCMP were called to a collision near 88 Avenue and 156 Street. A witness said the driver, the only occupant in the vehicle, hit a tree, then smashed into another car. Paramedics said the woman died at the scene. Traffic in the area was blocked for some time while the collision was investigated. Surrey RCMP are requesting that anyone who may have witnessed the collision is to call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or to call Crime Stoppers.

Operating a small business involves a great deal of risk. By their very nature, people who open a business are willing to accept a certain amount of risk in their efforts to make their business a success. Some risks are inevitable, while others are manageable. Business insurance is one method of managing and transferring risk away from your business to an insurance company for a price, or premium. It helps protect the business against unforeseeable events.

Police have arrested two alleged Edmonton gangsters in connection with a murder in Richmond and a shooting in Surrey last fall. Sean Jacob Lee Jennings, 27 is in custody in Edmonton on other charges, and is charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of 23-year-old Theoren Poitras on Oct. 2. Poitras, who police say was also part of the Alberta organized crime scene, was found face down in a pool of blood at a Richmond elementary school after witnesses reported hearing shots fired. A separate investigation into a Surrey home invasion last fall also led police to a man now charged as an accomplice. Four masked men forced their way into a basement suite in the 7600-block of 146A Street in Surrey on Sept. 23 and tied up the victim inside with duct tape. Police say two male neighbours heard the commotion and came to investigate, and one of them was shot in the jaw by one of the assailants. The shooting victim was rushed to hospital while the masked men fled. Peter Blake Edmonds, 24, of Edmonton, is now charged with use of a firearm in the commission of an indictable offence and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also charged with accessory after the fact in the murder of Poitras. Jennings is also charged in a July 20 murder in Edmonton. Other arrests and charges are expected. An Edmonton Police spokesman said the men were tied to â&#x20AC;&#x153;brutal home invasions involving levels of violence and intimidation so extreme that it is difficult for most to comprehend.â&#x20AC;? CFSEU officials said the crime group appeared to be mainly involved in murders, home invasions, robberies, kidnappings, extortions and drug trafficking.

Referendum or plebiscite? ▶ THE LATTER IS NOT LEGALLY BINDING JEFF NAGEL

Technically, yes, the vote is a plebiscite under provincial law. But practically there’s little difference from a referendum, except that it operates under different legislation. “On the surface, to voters there is not really any discernible difference,” Elections BC spokesman Don Main said. The plebiscite is not legally binding but the provincial government has promised to proceed with the proposed 0.5-per-cent sales tax increase to

fund improvements if a majority of residents across Metro Vancouver vote in favour. Elections BC defines a plebiscite as a cabinet-ordered vote on a matter of public concern conducted under the Election Act that “may be binding on government” while a referendum is held under the Referendum Act and the results are “usually binding.” The 2011 Harmonized Sales Tax referendum was not technically binding either in the sense that government was not legally forced to repeal the HST after losing the vote. It happened only because Premier Gordon Campbell promised

government would abide by the outcome when he approved the referendum. His decision followed a successful initiative petition by anti-HST forces. Under B.C.’s law governing initiatives, the province had the option of sending the Fight HST campaign’s proposed repeal legislation to the legislature for debate or holding a referendum on it. Campbell chose the latter. Had he accepted the legislation for debate instead, the B.C. Liberal majority could have simply refused to pass it – at its political peril. Legally, Fight HST’s eventual referendum win still only required government to forward

ly unthinkable for the province to ignore the outcome of the transit and transportation vote. “Politically, that would just be unbelievable,” Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said. No campaign head Jordan Bateman said he believes the tax is a go if the vote is yes, but doesn’t believe the spending commitments are necessarily binding. Referendum Questions is a Black Press series exploring issues related to the Metro Vancouver transit and transportation referendum. Voters must mail in ballots by May 29 on whether they support the addition of a 0.5 per cent sales tax in the region, called the Congestion Improvement Tax, to fund billions of dollars worth of upgrades. Read more at www.surreyleader.com

Just 4.1 per cent of ballots in the Metro Vancouver’s transportation and transit plebiscite have been mailed back to Elections BC so far. And of the 63,663 ballots received as of April 1, 54,437 are from Vancouver and the other 9,226 are from Surrey. Elections BC has mailed out more than 1.5 million ballots. Spokesman Don Main said ballots were sent out to homes in Vancouver and Surrey first because it was determined that would be most cost-effective. No campaign spokesman Jordan Bateman said he’s not reading anything into the initial count of ballots, because there wasn’t

enough time for ballots to be received, marked, sent back and counted in most of the region. Metro voters are being asked to approve or reject an increase in the provincial sales tax in the region from 7.0 to 7.5 per cent in order to fund a $7.5 billion package of mainly transit upgrades over the next 10 years. The planned upgrades include a Broadway subway, light rail in Surrey, a new Pattullo Bridge, new B-line express bus routes across the region and a 25 per cent general bus service lift. Anyone who has not yet received a voting package can call Elections BC at 1-800-6618683 or go to elections. bc.ca/ovr to request one by May 15.

According to the Environics Analytics algorithm, Crescent Beach residents have been labelled Satellite Burbs. “Their idea of entertainment is going to a community theatre, music concert or movie theatre,” the website says. “For vacations, they’re more likely than average Canadians to go camping, boating or touring in a recreational vehicle.” A little closer to Surrey’s centre, in Newton (around 80 Avenue and King George Boulevard), in addition to North Delta, near 72 Avenue and Scott Road, the areas are referred to

Crowded feeders a health risk for birds ▶ RETURNING SONGBIRDS VULNERABLE AT LOCAL GATHERING POINTS BLACK PRESS

Backyard bird enthusiasts should regularly clean their bird feeders and bird baths at this

time of year, as migratory songbirds return from their winter retreats. Species such as pine siskins, redpolls and grosbeaks congregate in large flocks in spring, and their close contact at a time of weather stress and nutrition shortage can pass diseases from bird to bird, says a bulletin

from the B.C. forests ministry. Cleaning feeders every two weeks and changing water in bird baths every few days can reduce the spread of avian pox virus, avian conjunctivitis and salmonella bacteria among birds. Using metal or plastic feeders rather than wood, and spreading out multiple

small feeders that only allow one or two birds at a time also reduces the risk of disease transmission. Wildlife biologists say these bird diseases can also spread to people handling infected birds or contaminated materials. Placing bird feeders over a concrete surface allows easier cleanup of litter underneath, which can

also prevent spread of infection. If you see one or two sick birds in your area, biologists advise clearing and scrubbing the feeder. If there are more than three diseased birds, take your feeder down for a week or two to encourage birds to disperse. Here are some common signs to look for: • Birds with avian

conjunctivitis have red, swollen, watery or crusted eyes. Infection can be spread by feeders with small openings that birds touch with the sides of their heads. Infected birds may have trouble feeding and remain on the ground near the feeder. • Birds with salmonella bacterium may be

found dead or appear tame, sitting quietly for hours or days, often with their feathers fluffed up. Salmonella can easily spread to pets or humans, and so strict hygiene should be enforced in these situations. • Birds with avian pox virus may have warty lesions on the unfeathered parts of their head, legs or feet.

friday Firing Your ICBC Lawyer (It is easier than you think.) BY JOHN GREEN (JMG@HDAS.COM)

I take in many cases where clients are unhappy with the service provided by their previous law firms – phone calls weren’t returned, no help was given finding rehabilitation experts, new lawyers were cycled onto the case without an introduction, or settlements were recommended before the injuries had been properly looked at by a specialist doctor. In one case brought to us from another law firm, the previous lawyer just disappeared and an important deadline was missed, jeopardizing the client’s ICBC claim and severely hindering the client’s chances at making a full recovery from very serious spinal injuries. There is nothing preventing you from talking to another lawyer about your case if you have concerns about your current lawyer. I tell all of my clients this when we meet for the first time: you can fire me whenever you like. Anything you receive from us can be taken to another lawyer for review and advice, including our retainer agreement. If you believe you need to find a new ICBC lawyer, give us a call at 604.581.4677.

Shrouded in mystery, exhibited in Surrey and Significance for Theology (April 9, 6:30 p.m., April 12, 2 p.m.) and The Shroud of Turin: One Hundred Years of Science (April 11, 1 p.m.) Who is the Man of the Shroud? is the theme of Father Andrew Dalton of Rome (April 8, 6:30 p.m., April 9-10, 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., and April 11, 6:30 p.m.),

▶ SHROUD OF TURIN EXHIBIT AND TALKS THIS WEEK ALEX BROWNE

A free exhibit and series of talks coming to Rosemary Heights Retreat Centre in South Surrey will shed light on one of the most controversial religious artifacts in history. Scheduled for April 8-13 in time for the Easter season, when Christians around the world celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, “The Man of the Shroud” sifts the most up-to-date evidence concerning the famed Turin Shroud. Considered – at least since medieval times – to be the actual cloth in which Jesus was buried following his crucifixion, the shroud has galvanized controversy for centuries due to impressions and bloodstains preserved in the woven material that seem to present a “photographic” image of the body once wrapped in it. Ironically, it was a photograph taken of the shroud in 1898, which, viewed as a negative image, fully brought out the startling clarity and detail of the image on the cloth. While the Shroud of Turin was supposedly discredited by carbon dating tests in 1988 that suggested it was a forgery created during the medieval era, it continues to pose more questions than experts can answer about its age and provenance and just what created the image on it, and for many, particularly in the Catholic Church, it has become, both literally and figuratively, an article of faith. The current exhibit, organized by the Vancouver Shroud Society – a group of clergy and laity – consists of 32 professionally prepared museum panels telling the story of the artifact, plus an actual-size photographic reproduction of the 14-foot shroud and a collection of recreated artifacts of Christ’s Passion. It’s not the first time the exhibit has visited the area, Mario Ylanan, centre administration, marketing and programming co-ordinator, said. He noted that local parishioners are among

Vancouver will present a more spiritual perspective in his talk The Face of Christ: Revealing the Father’s Mercy at 6:30 p.m. on April 10. The Rosemary Heights Retreat Centre is at 3690 152 St. For full opening hours of the exhibit, visit www.rosemaryheights.com or call 604-576-8802.

WIKIPEDIA members of the society, as well as former Star of the Sea parish pastor Father Stanley FX Galvin. “It was presented first about seven or eight years ago at Good Shepherd Church,” he said, adding that the reaction of past local visitors has been interesting to observe.

“Seeing how people respond to the combination of what they’re seeing and what they’re reading in the panels – it’s a very powerful and individual experience,” he said. “There’s a lot of things that are difficult to explain. It forces you to make judgments on your own. There are a

lot of emotions going on during the exhibit – it’s pretty powerful stuff.” Complementing the exhibit is a series of free talks by shroud experts at the centre. Shroud scholar Dr. Phillip Wiebe of Trinity Western University will discuss The Shroud of Turin: Authenticity

Scooter and Power Chair Safety CROSSROADS MOBILITY SOLUTIONS

As our weather gets warmer and the days are longer, we notice more scooter and powerchair operators out and about in the lower mainland. It is our goal to make certain all mobility equipment drivers are safe out there. The following tips will help you get there and home safely: • BE VISABLE! Wear bright clothing. Have a bright safety flag. Put a reflective vest on the back of your scooter or powerchair seat. Add a flashing bicycle light to the top of you flag. • SLOW DOWN! If you are driving at top speed you cannot often react quickly enough to a situation. • MAKE EYE CONTACT! If you are crossing a street or passing over a driveway , STOP and look. Make certain that a car isn’t turning right or left or coming in or out of a driveway. Make sure they see you. If you are not sure they see you, stop and wait, regardless of who has the right of way.

• MAKE CERTAIN your scooter or powerchair is in good working condition and batteries are charged up. Power equipment requires regular maintenance, just like changing the oil in your car. • REMEMBER you are a pedestrian and must follow pedestrian rules. Obey all traffic signals intended for pedestrians. Stay on the sidewalk. Only travel on the road when there is no sidewalk or when the scooter driver crosses the road from sidewalk to sidewalk. • AVOID using the scooter at dusk or in the dark. • BE AWARE of your environment. Be conscious of steep curb cuts, uneven surfaces, utility poles on sidewalks, bus stop benches and construction on sidewalks. • BE AWARE of the effects of any medication, drugs and/or alcohol that may affect your skill and judgment.

Player • 2008 Maple Ridge Hometown Hero, Awarded by the Mayor of Maple Ridge • 2008 Olympic Games, Beijing China • 2008 Olympic Qualification tournament, Oradea Romania, first time Canadian team has ever qualified for the Olympics in Canadian Water Polo history

Kevin Mitchell was a member of the team that represented Canada in water polo at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. He is the rehabilitation specialist and personal trainer at the new Injury Rehab Clinic in Surrey. Kevin’s chief areas of interest are: (a) working to rehabilitate people injured in car accidents, Worksafe accidents and other types of accidents (b) working with athletes, whether they be medal contenders or weekend warriors (c) assisting ordinary people to reach their health and fitness goals

Kevin Mitchell knows a thing or two about self-improvement. Mitchell, a kinesiologist, understands that it takes time to reach a goal – whether that goal is walking after recovering from a long term injury, or walking in the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games. Self-improvement has been the running theme of Mitchell’s path through life - which started in Maple Ridge, but has twisted and turned to bring him all over the world as a member of the Canadian national water polo team, and eventually to the 2008 summer games in Bejing. Though Canada had previously appeared in the Olympics, in ‘84 and ‘76, ‘08 was the first time the Canadian team had rightfully earned the chance to play with the rest of the world’s best water polo squads. In a sport dominated at the highest levels by a number of Eastern European

countries, the significance of Canada’s qualification was not lost on Mitchell. At the time, it was a culmination of seven years Mitchell spent in Calgary, training twice a day, six days a week with the national team while attending classes at the University of Calgary. “I remember watching the ‘96 Olympics in Atlanta, and thinking to myself “That’s where I want to be,” Mitchell recalled. Looking at Mitchell, who retired from his playing career after 2008, it’s hard to believe it’s been seven years since he completed with the world’s best. Mitchell maintains a fit figure, which seems to fit his mantra of self-improvement in all areas of his life. After retiring from competition after Bejing, Mitchell decided to continue his studies at the

University of the Fraser Valley, back home in British Columbia. Mitchell chose the field of kinesiology because of a commitment to “help others become their best, by employing my experiences which carried me to the Olympics,” he said. Now working with up to 20 patients per day, some of whom have long term injuries from car accidents or sports, Mitchell said sport remains an integral part of his life. “I’m using the lessons I learned through sport everyday - whether that’s goal setting, work ethic, or leadership - in the workplace,” said Mitchell. And hey, there might not be anyone who understands that the road to a goal can often be long and difficult, better than Kevin Mitchell.

educating people on how they can be grown easily, successfully and in a container. Progress is being made on all these fronts. Take lettuce for an example. The consumption of romaine types of lettuce has grown because of the popularity of Caesar salads, as have gourmet and mesclun blends because they fit into the category of new foods and flavours. I am impressed with the Pan-American introductions of the Simply Salad blends of lettuce. They offer an Alfresco Mix, a Global Gourmet Mix and a City Garden Mix, each one creating a salad blend by itself. These blends are easy to grow in a container, look fabulous and taste divine. Peppers are another example. The trend is towards hot peppers that fit cultural cuisines. The innovation of crossover peppers, like Basket of Fire, Loco and Chenzo, are easy to grow both in containers or as garden varieties that produce early and with a beautiful display of hot peppers that can be harvested over a long period of time. Part of the new focus for bell peppers is for smaller and stuffable varieties, such as Cute Stuff Gold and Cute Stuff Red. Tomatoes round out the big three vegetables with several innovations. The first is easy-togrow varieties like Tumbler, Tumbling Tom, Tumbling Tiger and Sweet ‘n’ Neat that produce early and over

a long period of time in containers or hanging baskets, and they have pretty good flavour too. Secondly, there are lots of innovations to fit special culinary uses with varieties like Fresh Salsa and Baby Red Roma. Colour is important as well and varieties like Sun Gold, Sunset Falls and Sun Sugar will spice up any salad. The folks at Burpee have collected the “healthy” vegetables into a series called Boost. For example, Gold Standard cucumbers contain 500 per cent more beta-carotene than any other variety. Healing Hands Salad Mix has 20 per cent more lutein, 30 per cent more beta-carotene, 30 per cent more carotenoids, and 70 per cent more anthocyanins – now that’s just plain healthy. Power Pop tomatoes contain 55 per cent more lycopene and 40 per cent more carotenoids. What a great way to enjoy the healthy benefits of growing your own food. Choosing the best plants is just 50 per cent of the job, however. Using the best soils, nutrients and organic pest control products are the other half of the success story. It’s the beginning of a brand-new growing season, so make plans to enjoy your own home-grown fresh foods this year. Brian Minter is a master gardener who operates Minter Country Garden in Chilliwack.

better readers – and more – thanks to regular visits by students from Simon Fraser University. Racing Readers is a pilot program developed through SFU Surrey’s TD Community Engagement Centre and the Surrey School District. Each week, students from SFU visit the Surrey elementary

school, engaging kids in some sort of physical activity before settling in on gym mats with some books. The activity portion of the get togethers is not competitive, but children have begun tracking their efforts on a hallway bulletin board, tallying more than 2,000 kilometres since the program began in November.

“We’ve seen some amazing results over the past few months, not only with literacy levels but in terms of social skills as well, ” says Newton Elementary principal Jodie Kennett. Christine Akl, a student in SFU’s School of Interactive Arts and Technology (SIAT) is one of more than a dozen university students involved in the program. “It’s great to see these kids energized to participate and enjoy some social time,” she says. “We try to make the experience fun and practical and it’s wonderful to see them improve. It’s also a great way to give something back to the community.” Trisha Dulku, a student program coordinator, says the mix of ages makes the program unique. “We have students ranging from age six to 11, SFU student volunteers who are all in different stages of completing their degrees, and high school mentors who are leaders for the younger students, yet also able to connect with our SFU volunteers,” Dulku says. “This truly is a program that surpasses boundaries.” Racing Readers is one of nearly 30 CEC (Community Engagement Centre) programs aimed at fostering connections between SFU and the ethnically diverse South Fraser community.
