CITY TAKING DOWN ‘NO’ SIGNS ▶ WAR OVER TRANSIT PLEBISCITE REVS UP AS SURREY PULLS OPPOSITION SIGNS FROM PUBLIC PROPERTY KEVIN DIAKIW

The City of Surrey has been pulling “No TransLink Tax” signs from city property and the group that put them there is crying foul. For about the past two weeks, City of Surrey bylaw officers have been taking down signs opposing the ongoing transit referendum. The city is spending $300,000 in taxpayer dollars to get out the “yes” vote for a 0.5-per-cent hike in sales tax in order to pay for better transit and transportation projects. Jordan Bateman, the B.C. director for the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation, has been working a spirited campaign against the plebiscite proposal – on a shoestring budget of $40,000. Cities in the region and TransLink are spending upwards of $7 million to promote a yes vote. Bateman says Surrey is being heavy-handed in using bylaw officials to further hammer down his meagre campaign initiative. “All of our signs are gone in Surrey unless they are on private property,” Bateman said. “We had a bunch near the Pattullo Bridge, we had some in the Green

Jordan Bateman, head of the ‘no’ side in the ongoing transit referendum, says his campaign signs have been removed from public spaces in the City of Surrey.

Victim pointed gun, says Delta cop charged with murder ▼ WOMAN DEFENDS CONST. JORDAN MACWILLIAMS FOR KILLING HER ABDUCTOR AT NEW WESTMINSTER CASINO IN 2012 SHEILA REYNOLDS

A Delta Police officer charged with murdering a man outside a New Westminster Casino in 2012 says he shot the man because he feared he would kill himself or others. Const. Jordan MacWilliams filed his response to a civil lawsuit in which the daughter of the deceased accuses the officer of shooting her dad “without warning or justification.” Mehrdad Bayrami, 48, was shot after a five-hour stand-off with the regional emergency response team, who had been called to the scene early Nov. 8, 2012 after reports of shots being fired. They arrived to find Bayrami armed with a handgun and apparently distraught. He had initially taken a female hostage, who police rescued. MacWilliams’ statement of defence says Bayrami pointed a gun at police seconds before he was shot in the abdomen. “MacWilliams had a reasonable fear that the handgun would be fired, thereby creating a risk of death or grievous bodily harm to himself or others,” the statement reads. Bayrami’s daughter, Nousha Bayrami, filed suit against MacWilliams last November, claiming her dad was walking backwards away from police with his arms by his sides when he was shot. None of the allegations have been proven in court. Last year, MacWilliams was charged criminally with second-degree murder in connection with the shooting, following an inquiry by the province’s Independent Investigation Office. He is now on paid administrative leave from the Delta Police Department, and has received support from fellow officers wearing wristbands with his badge number. Meanwhile, the woman held hostage at the casino by her ex-boyfriend, Bayrami, is voicing her support for MacWilliams. Tetiana Pilsina told CTV Vancouver said she was terrified Bayrami was going to shoot her before she was rescued, and even shot at the car she was in. She believes the officers at the casino that day, including MacWilliams, are heroes. Anyone who protects us, they’re heroes,” she said.

Christopher Lewis, who has been ticketed for being in Surrey parks after dark, says the city’s bylaw violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Lewis likes to decompress after work in Surrey’s green spaces. BOAZ JOSEPH

▶ VANDALISM THE RATIONALE from page 1

He is taking the city to court over a section of Bylaw #13480, which prohibits being in a park after dark. Lewis has written a 10-page challenge of the bylaw, arguing it violates two sections of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In his challenge, sent to the city and attorneys-general of B.C. and Canada, Lewis contends the bylaw violates Section 7, which ▶ “A blanket ban ensures the right to “life, liberty and security,” and Section 9, on everyone from which ensures the right not to be parks at night “arbitrarily detained or imprisoned.” is not rationally Lewis, who works as an inspecconnected with tor of pressurized pipes, said in his submission that people are just targetting being forced to travel on dark vandalism.” streets, at night, where being hit by a car is becoming increasingly CHRISTOPHER LEWIS likely.

He contends that’s a violation of Section 7. He believes every time people are stopped by police or bylaw officers, their right to freedom from being arbitrarily detained is being violated – a violation of Section 9. The 27-year-old, who does not have legal experience, cites case law to back up his arguments. In Regina v. Oakes (1986), Chief Justice Dickson ruled on proportional means. To that end: “the means must be rationally connected to the objective; there must be minimal impairment of rights (and) there must be proportionality between the infringement and the objective.” Lewis believes the Surrey bylaw fails on all three counts. “A blanket ban on everyone from parks at night is not rationally connected with just targeting vandalism,” the challenge says. Vandalism is often the rationale given for the necessity of the bylaw. “There is a complete lack of proportionality between the infringement and the objective,” he writes. Benjie Lee, the City of Surrey lawyer handling the case, said he could not comment on the case as it’s before the courts. Lewis and the city are back in Surrey Provincial Court on Tuesday, April 28.

RCMP hunt for suspected hit-and-run driver ▶ MOUNTIES RELEASE PHOTO OF CAR BELIEVED TO HAVE HIT AN ELDERLY PEDESTRIAN MONDAY KEVIN DIAKIW

Surrey RCMP have released a video frame grab of a car they believe hit a senior and took off. An 85-year-old man was struck by a car near 92 Avenue and 127 Street on Monday at about 5 p.m. He was taken to hospital where he is in serious condition. The driver of the car took off. Mounties say there were several witnesses to the hit-and-run and that they have

obtained footage of the suspect vehicle. On Wednesday, police released a picture of the car they believe was involved in the accident. The suspect vehicle is described as a four-door 2013 to 2015 Honda Civic. It’s believed the car will have damage on the front end. Police believe the car was heading down 127 Street when it turned left onto 92 Avenue before hitting the elderly man. “We are appealing for the driver responsible to contact our investigators,” said Cpl. Bert Paquet of the Surrey RCMP. “In addition, we would like to speak to anyone who may have seen the Honda Civic or knows where the car or driver can be located.” Anyone with information on the crash

A Surrey man who was drunk at the wheel during a crash that killed his close friend said his “guilt, grief and loss” is difficult to put into words. “I am extremely remorseful,” said Andrew Henry Ostrowski during a sometimes tearful apology at his sentencing hearing in Surrey Provincial Court Wednesday afternoon.

Crown has recommended a prison sentence of six to eight years, while the defence has suggest a three to three-anda-half-year sentence. Ostrowski has been in custody on separate charges filed before the crash since last August. His sentencing is scheduled for April 14.

Natural gas rates are going down for FortisBC customers in the Lower Mainland. A 34-per-cent decrease in the commodity rate to $2.486 per gigajoule effective April 1 means users should pay about $117 per year less on their bills in the Lower Mainland. FortisBC Energy Supply Vice-President Cynthia Des Brisay said a combination of factors have resulted in approval by the B.C. Utilities Commission of the lowest commodity rate charges seen in a decade. “Natural gas prices are lower coming out of this past winter due to reduced overall demand for natural gas to heat homes and generate power,” she said. “At the same time, supplies of natural gas have increased, allowing storage levels to return to normal levels.” Overall, natural gas bills won’t drop as sharply because customers are also charged other fees, including a rate to deliver the gas, that together add up to more than the com-

modity rate charged for the gas itself. The typical Lower Mainland gas user should see their monthly bill drop from around $81 now to about $71

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Should Surrey citizens be allowed to enjoy their parks after dark without being fined? To answer, go to the home page of our website at surreyleader.com

Last week we asked: Do you talk with your teenage driver about road safety? Here’s how you responded:

Yes 71% No 29%

Making Surrey safer Surrey RCMP has received 34 cadets from the RCMP training facility in Regina, as of the end of March. There are still 100 more to come. The RCMP expects that most of them will be in place by the end of this year. There was much discussion of adding more police officers during the municipal election last fall. Winning mayoralty candidate Linda Hepner pledged that 100 would be added and taxes have been raised to help pay for this significant expansion. The police strength is set to go up by about 12 per cent in one year. More RCMP officers in Surrey are welcome and long overdue. Chief Supt. Bill Fordy says many will be placed on general duty, with others in traffic. These officers are the most visible, and police visibility is badly needed in many parts of Surrey. In the first three months of 2015, there has been a string of drive-by shootings, gang retaliation shootings, several murders and a significant amount of mayhem on the roads. This includes the deaths of a woman who was riding a scooter and a homeless man pushing a shopping cart. The community of Newton

remains fearful about the safety of people. Concerns about unlicensed drug recovery homes remain. Surrey’s population continues to increase significantly. There are many other reasons there needs to be far more police officers visible on the streets and ready to respond to emergencies. This is a very big and very busy city, and the needs of the community grow more complex each year. The response to homelessness from all levels of government has been underwhelming. The whole area of policing has been poorly handled by Surrey council for many years. Politicians have been more concerned about keeping taxes low than having enough police to deal with the needs of a growing community. Given that Surrey is a young community demographically, and that young people are often disproportionately involved in crimes, both as victims and perpetrators, this is unacceptable. A string of horrific crimes in 2013 and 2014 focused public attention on the acute shortage of police, and thankfully,

all three major mayoralty candidates put a lot of emphasis on the issue. The issues around crime, and the three-way race for mayor, brought more people out to the polls. Since the election, there have been few complaints about paying more money for more police. Much more needs to be done. There needs to be much more emphasis on crime prevention, neighbourhood programs, youth engagement and anti-gang measures. Many of the community approaches do not require police officers, or at least not too many of them. There are people in the city who are happy to volunteer. The RCMP, city council and the city government in general needs to take advantage of the high level of public interest in reducing crime. It’s good that more police are on the way, but in the meantime, pro-active approaches to crime prevention can be initiated. Such programs, when they work closely with police, can make a substantial difference.

Urban growth a challenge Re: “What would happen to the transit tax after 10 years?,” The Leader, March 31. Given Vancouver’s unchecked population growth, surely reporter Jeff Nagel is right when he surmises that the proposed 0.5-per-cent transit tax would be permanent. Therefore, instead of rushing to a “yes” or “no” vote, there are better ways to deal with Metro Vancouver’s traffic congestion, by first asking the more fundamental question: Are a million more people needed or wanted in the Metro Vancouver area? Given the current referendum on

transit funding improvements, a Leger Marketing poll, originally conducted in 2011 in Metro Vancouver, found that 93 per cent of people surveyed thought the region’s population was either large enough or too large. Whether or not “Vancouver is full” remains to be seen. However, we should give careful thought to the inherent fallacy of using an influx of a million more newcomers expected by 2040 as a valid argument for needed transit upgrades. Inasmuch as such massive population growth is expected to come almost entirely from current high levels of fed-

erally controlled immigration intakes, it is time to move the debate on sustainable immigration policies away from predominantly quantitative arguments to its qualitative urban implications of economic, environmental, social, cultural and overall demographic concerns. In reality, the real costs of urban traffic congestion arise from a self-inflicted pattern of runaway urban growth, falling victim to a self-defeating vicious cycle of economically unsustainable infrastructure demands.

Surrey has been the fastest-growing community in the Lower Mainland for four decades. We are also aware that almost a half-billion Surrey tax dollars have been paid to TransLink in the past two decades. Yet Surrey SkyTrain service has never been extended past King George Boulevard. We funded all new SkyTrain lines to other areas. Also, Surrey residents are now paying tolls on most bridges serving this community. Please, do not ask us to increase our taxes for service that never develops. Please vote no in the transit plebiscite.

TransLink has announced that they will replace the escalators at a number of SkyTrain stations, which will cost upwards of $12 million. For those of us south of the Fraser, guess which station is scheduled to be done last? Our 30-year-old stub line at Gateway. If the plebiscite is a “yes” majority, guess which transit improvements will be done first and which ones will be done last. Not only that, South Fraser residents will pay for the first few years to get that subway line in Vancouver. We will also pay to complete the Coquitlam SkyTrain line. Mayor Linda Hepner of Surrey continues to promise we will be getting the majority of the transit improvements by voting yes. She wants us to vote yes to ground-level LRT, while we pay for SkyTrain and subways north

A letter writer believes that Surrey is TransLink’s lowest priority. FILE PHOTO of the Fraser. She wants us to vote yes to be last in line for new escalators, yes to getting a new Pattullo Bridge 10 or 12 years down the road, yes to additional bridge tolls if/when the Pattullo is completed, yes to tolls on the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges, while all other crossings, interchanges and roadways are free for everyone else. To top it off, our mayor has raised taxes by up to 10 per cent immediately after her election, without bothering to mention it during her campaign. As she said, whether the vote is yes or no, she is going ahead with LRT, to be funded solely by her taxpayers.

I hope I’m not the only one south of the Fraser to see, yes or no, Surrey taxpayers will pay for this vision. We are damned whether we vote yes or no. If Lower Mainland residents are to pay equally, then we should demand SkyTrain and reject LRT. We should demand no tolls on bridges, or tolls on all bridges, tunnels and that golden highway to Whistler. Mayors Gregor Robertson and Hepner are spending hundreds of thousands of our money to ram their ideas down our throats. Please, someone stop Hepner from spending Surrey taxpayers’ money on transit when this is a financial burden that should be shared by all who live in B.C. We have paid more than our share and we have one bus from Surrey that crosses the new Port Mann. The mayors north of the Fraser must be laughing at us while deciding which of their municipalities get first dibs on any new funding. Those of us south of the Fraser already know where we stand in the escalator lineup, and that is last, as usual.

▼ TRANSLINK’S IDEA WORKS FOR STUDENTS An open letter to the Ministry of Education and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation: You know how you want to provide more resources for special needs students? I’m guessing you likely have a bunch more things on your wish list as well. The problem has simply been finding enough money in the general budget without causing huge tax increases. I have an amazing idea for you. My idea is to raise the sales tax by an amount that is dedicated to education. Start out with something small like 0.5 per cent. You can always raise it later. Put it to a referendum so that the people take responsibility. Call it an Education Improvement Tax. Few would dare vote against our children’s future. It’s a sure-fire winner and you don’t raise regular taxes. If people complain about it you can just say you were doing the wishes of the people. As an added bonus, you can start shifting existing education costs over to this “electorate approved” tax source, leaving the general tax fund for more whimsical ideas. Brilliant. Speak with those behind the current Congestion Improvement Tax referendum for implementation details.

“They can go on private property, just not on public space property,” Hepner said Wednesday. The City of Surrey sign bylaw does include language that permits signs in public spaces during elections. Asked if the “no” signs would qualify, as Elections BC is overseeing the transit referendum, Hepner said no. “I would think not, it’s a plebiscite, not an election,” Hepner said. The city is renting advertising space on bus shelters in public spaces promoting the yes vote, which Hepner said Bateman’s group is also entitled to do. There is also a “vote yes” sign in the window of city hall, which is also public property.

“On city hall, yes,” Hepner said. “I don’t think you can define the ‘yes’ sign on city hall property the same way you can define the ‘no’ sign on public rights of way.” Johal said there have been no requests to put up a “no” sign at city hall. Asked if no campaigners would be allowed to post a sign if they asked, Rehal said “we would review that request accordingly.” Bateman wrote Hepner and the city on Wednesday morning, lodging a complaint and asking for equal space in public facilities. “Despite the proliferation of hundreds of non-conforming, illegal and ugly signs throughout Surrey, ours were singled out for near-instant removal,” Bateman says in his email to Hepner. “We believe this

is an inappropriate political statement by City of Surrey staff, fuelled by your support for the TransLink tax.” He said the no side should have equal space in taxpayer-funded facilities. “Fairness is a key tenet in any campaign. TransLink and various local governments, including your own, are spending $7 million in taxpayer money to push for the TransLink tax,” Bateman said in the email. “We believe a few lawn signs and posters, paid for voluntarily by No TransLink Tax supporters with their after-tax dollars, should be allowed.” He said because of the tight timeline – ballots are due back by May 29 – he would appreciate a response immediately.

no word on whether Bateman’s signs would be allowed. Hepner said she understands the optics of Surrey taking down the no signs, seeing as the city is supporting the yes side. “I can certainly see how it could be interpreted that way,” Hepner said. “That’s not the way I would interpret it.” She said the no side should collect its signs that were taken and put them on private property. “If they can find a store that will put up the no signs, nobody is going to have any trouble with that at all,” Hepner said. She said the yes campaign is going well, with the abiding challenge being to get the message out to voters. That message is that about 45 per cent of the transit benefits contained in the proposal will be coming south of the Fraser, with the bulk of them in Surrey. “I hope (voters) realize that the cost is going to happen regardless, down the road,” Hepner said. “Whether that be ‘I’m stuck for an extra length of time in traffic,’ or whether that is ‘I can’t get there at all, because the service isn’t there’.” She also understands the yes campaign is an “uphill struggle” and that a lot of people face financial constraints.

requirements in an area where on-street parking is a contentious issue. The proposal – at 18818 71 Ave. – was approved in 2012, and construction on the 18-unit townhouse complex is already underway. But now the developer is seeking an exemption on the amount of parking required for half of the units. To Mike Bola, president of the CCA, it’s the latest example of developers circumventing Surrey’s land use planning process. “The city needs to revisit its bylaws and close these loopholes,” he said. Bola says the original application allowed two enclosed parking spaces and a driveway, which could be used as a third parking space for small vehicles. Now, three years

later, owner 0910638 B.C. Ltd. is seeking a development permit amendment that would allow one, unenclosed tandem parking space for nine street-fronting units. If approved, the amendment would allow the developer to increase density and lot coverage. “Even though this amendment is only modifying nine of the

townhome units, this does mean that there would be nine less parking spaces which will now be pushed onto the street,” Bola said. Besides, Bola said, plans show the development doesn’t provide any side-byside garages, so it’s already being built to the maximum density. With on-street parking already at a premium in the area, the association strongly opposed the parking amendment request when it came to a public hearing Feb. 2, and council agreed, he said. This amendment will be heard during the Land Use meeting on April 13 at city hall. The public is welcome to attend and observe. “Loopholes like the fact that this developer can ask for an amendment three years later is totally unacceptable,” Bola said. The CCA is hoping council will reject the amendment request, once again keeping the community’s

Mike Bola parking situation in mind. Meantime, Bola said the case is further proof that some of the city’s bylaws need an overhaul. For one thing, the CCA would like to see city council impose a time limit on requesting zoning bylaw amendments like this one. “There should be a time limit as to when a developer can ask for an amendment and once the time limit has expired, no other option should be available including appeals,” he said.

the community and act as a grassroots liaison to city council on issues affecting the community, such as development issues and infrastructure. The association has appeared at transportation and infrastructure meetings, chaired by Coun. Tom Gill, to request other bylaw amendments. There are promising signs of progress, Bola said. The CCA asked city council to cap the number of tandem garages units in a development at 25 per cent, and the city countered with 50 per cent, he said. “We’ve seen 100-per-cent tandem units being put it,” he said. “Developers are saying, ‘Let’s just squeeze in everything we can.’ It causes problems with densification.” The CCA is currently lobbying the city to allow parking three cars in a row in driveways where legal secondary suites are allowed. The current bylaw doesn’t allow this, Bola said. To the association, it’s another example of out-of-date or inadequate bylaws that make it difficult for Surrey residents to work around. “People aren’t going to place a parking pad in the middle of their yard to please the city,” he said. “They will build one right next to the existing driveway so it blends in with the landscaping. We all know in real life that a homeowner does not want their driveway used by their tenant since allowing this would make it difficult for them to get in and out of their garage.” The association is also pressing council to increase the penalty on multiple secondary suites from $1,000 a year to $5,000 a year. Alternately, the city could implement a two-tiered system where there would be a $2,500 charge for a first offence and $5,000 annually each year after that, if the illegal suite was still operating.

Baby teeth are important too Keeping your child’s baby teeth healthy and strong is important to their oral and overall health and development. Baby teeth begin to appear around 6 months and can last until a child is 13 or 14. They are an important part of your child’s nutrition, speech development, self-confidence and play a significant role in the placement of permanent adult teeth. Without proper care and attention children can suffer from dental decay (cavities). Decay is caused when sugars in the mouth mix with plaque bacteria to create an acid that can destroy tooth enamel. The longer sugar is in the mouth, the more acid is produced, increasing the risk of cavities. Dental decay is painful—it can lead to infection and tooth loss. Children with dental disease may also have trouble sleeping, difficulty concentrating and suffer emotional distress—feeling bad about the way they look. Dental disease is not always recognizable. Pain is usually a sign there is a problem but very young children are not able to explain when they are in pain. The good news is that dental disease is preventable. Establishing healthy habits from an early age, including regular dental exams, can start your child on the path to good oral health.

Set your child up for good dental health: ◾ Caring for the mouth starts early. Begin by cleaning your baby’s mouth using a wet cloth and gently wiping the gums to remove any leftover milk or formula from the mouth. ◾ Brush your child’s teeth as soon as the first tooth appears and make sure you lift the lip to brush along the gum line. Young children cannot clean their own teeth. Brush for them when they are very young and with them as they grow older.

◾ Use a soft toothbrush. Choose an appropriate size for the age of the child. ◾ Make brushing fun and develop a routine: brush at a specific time (after a bath or before a book); in a specific location (mom’s knee); or with specific cues (music, counting). ◾ Use a small amount of fluoride toothpaste to protect the teeth from cavities. Children under the age of 3 should only use a smear (size of a grain of rice) while those over 3 can use a pea-sized amount. Encourage your children to spit out the toothpaste. ◾ Cavity-causing bacteria can transfer from your mouth to your child’s. Avoid sharing soothers, toothbrushes or other items with your child. ◾ Regardless of age, discourage grazing on sugary foods and drinks throughout the day or overnight. For instance, constant and slow sipping on milk-filled bottles or sippy cups with juice, keeps sugars in the mouth and can lead to cavities—fill them with water instead. ◾ Choose healthy snacks such as cheese, fruit or nuts. What’s good for the body is good for the mouth. ◾ The earlier a dental problem is found, the easier it is to fix. Check your child’s mouth and visit the dentist regularly. ◾ Look in your child’s mouth for signs of disease such as brown or yellow spots on the teeth. Other signs that your child may be suffering from dental disease include: trouble sleeping; difficulty concentrating; and, avoiding certain foods, such as cold drinks and foods.

YOUR CHILD’S BABY TEETH CAN LAST UNTIL THEY’RE 14 YEARS OLD. Baby (primary) teeth play a big role in your child’s speech development, nutrition and create space for adult teeth to develop correctly. Limit sugary food and drinks and clean your baby’s mouth

To learn more talk to your dentist or visit yourdentalhealth.ca

◾ The first dental visit should take place by age one or within six months of when you see the first tooth. Through regular examinations your dentist will monitor the development of your child’s teeth and gums to catch problems early and prevent disease. Starting dental visits early can also improve your child’s comfort with visiting the dentist. Remember, children learn by example: if you look after your own teeth and gums, your children will too.

The first regular shipment of human milk donated by lactating women across the Lower Mainland has now arrived at Surrey Memorial and Royal Columbian hospitals for sick and premature babies in their neonatal intensive care units. Donor milk is processed at the Provincial Milk Bank at B.C. Women’s Hospital, which has expanded its capacity after Fraser Health last year opened new human milk collection depots across the region. Donations are now taken at all health units in Burnaby, New Westminster, Port Moody, Delta

(two sites), Maple Ridge, Surrey (four sites), White Rock, Langley, Mission, Abbotsford, Agassiz, Chilliwack and Hope. Premature babies that are fed formula instead of human breast milk are at greater risk of certain infections. They often have compromised immune systems, underdeveloped stomachs or other conditions that make them more vulnerable. Lactating moms who have been screened are encouraged to collect extra breast milk at home, freeze it and donate it. Pasteurized donor milk has active beneficial properties for babies, providing them with antibodies to fight disease and infection. Visit www.bcwomensmilkbank.ca

Four Metro Vancouver pharmacies are part of a research project that aims to eventually offer personalized medicine to patients who undergo genetic testing. UBC researchers are partnering with community pharmacists to collect DNA from saliva samples to test how an individual’s genetic makeup can alter decisions on medication choice and dosage to make their use more effective. The B.C. Pharmacy Asso-

ciation says its $400,000 18-month project with Genome BC, dubbed Genomics for Precision Drug Therapy in the Community Pharmacy, should bring the promise of personalized medicine a major step closer by sequencing each patient’s genome. Genetic testing is often discussed as a way to assess disease risk, but the field of pharmacogenomics seeks to determine how a person’s genes influence their response to certain medications. “We’re focusing on the mechanics of getting the genome from a pharmacy, bringing it into the lab, and decoding it with a high enough accuracy and in a fast enough time frame

that you could actually benefit from that information,” said Corey Nislow, professor in the department of pharmaceutical sciences at UBC. A total of 200 volunteers currently taking the drug warfarin are to be recruited at 22 B.C. pharmacies, including two in Vancouver and one each in Surrey, Burnaby and Port Coquitlam. Once the patients’ DNA is decoded and indexed, researchers expect they will be able to use the data to determine how to custom tailor the use of other drugs. Patients involved in the project won’t get any information back on their DNA – it’s strictly for research purposes.

Are road pricing or new bridge tolls coming? ▶ NO GUARANTEES REGARDLESS OF OUT COME OF PLEBISCITE JEFF NAGEL

Metro Vancouver mayors aim to introduce road pricing, which could replace the current system of tolling only new bridges with consistent tolls on all existing crossings, or per-kilometre road use charges on all major routes. So is that idea also scuttled if Metro voters defeat the proposed 0.5-per-cent sales tax increase that would fund transit expansion across the region? The Mayors’ Council intends to explore road pricing options regardless of the outcome.

A referendum “no” vote on the congestion tax does not block tolls on a replaced Pattullo Bridge nor does it prevent an eventual move to road pricing. Mayors propose road pricing be revenue-neutral under a “yes” outcome that authorizes the new sales tax; road use fees would replace bridge tolls within eight years and allow a six-centper-litre reduction in the TransLink gas tax. A no vote that blocks the extra $250 million per year from sales tax may create more pressure to instead pursue the idea as a revenue generator. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said there’s been no debate about that and the province has been clear that any new funding

source has to go to referendum. Road pricing is part of the mayors’ longrange vision because making drivers pay to travel by road is expected to have a profound effect on how they choose to get around. Road tolls that

change by the time of day – charging more at peak times and less or zero off-peak – would spur some drivers to drive at cheaper times or take transit, easing the worst congestion at rush hour peaks and making the system more efficient, experts say. “It spreads the peak,” says Robin Lindsey, transportation and logistics professor at UBC’s Sauder School of Business. “Those people who are more flexible will go to the off-peak and the people that have no choice but to travel on the peak and pay will have quicker trips.” The ideal system, he says, would be one where vehicles are tracked by satellite and charged according to how far they drive. “It’s an economist’s dream and most motorists consider it their nightmare,” said Todd Litman of the Victoria Transportation Policy Institute. He calls road pricing a smart solution compared to raising revenue from other types of taxes, because of its ability to limit congestion. “If it’s done correctly, it’s a real win-win.” A modest toll on all major bridges – $1 to $2 on any crossing of the Fraser River, Burrard Inlet and False Creek, with reductions at off-peak times – instead of higher tolls on just a few would greatly improve congestion, Litman predicts. Years of study is expected before one recommended model for road pricing emerges. Tolling gantries could also be erected to charge drivers to use highways or to cross specific lines in the region so the system captures east-west trips that don’t cross bridges, such as Coquitlam to UBC or Fort Langley to Tsawwassen. Litman also agreed a comprehensive GPSbased tracking system would be the ultimate way to track all vehicle trips and charge according to where they travel and when. Singapore has had road pricing with gantries for years but is moving to a GPS syscontinued on page 15

▶ ROAD PRICING COULD FIX ISSUE WITH TOLLING OF NEW BRIDGES tem to charge by distance. Oregon is testing a voluntary road-pricing system that uses GPS to charge 1.5 cents per mile driven in exchange for a rebate on fuel taxes. Litman said the pricing system could have a daily cap on the maximum a driver is charged, or a home zone exemption that allows a certain number of free kilometres each day. Road pricing could also fix the unfairness of the current system of just tolling new bridges, which causes people to drive far out of their way to avoid paying. The mayors’ plan projects a 24-percent drop in how far people drive over the next 30 years. “This progress comes partly through investment in alternatives to driving, but fully three quarters of that progress is from the introduction of time- and distance-based road tolls,” the plan says, adding “pricing will need to play a pivotal role” to reach plan targets. Any road pricing scheme would have to recover at least the $120 million a year in tolls paid at the Port Mann Bridge and $40 million at the Golden Ears, plus presumably finance new bridges to replace the Pattullo, the Massey Tunnel and potentially others in the future. According to mayors’ council estimates, each penny charged per kilometre travelled could add up to roughly $100 million per year in revenue under a road pricing scheme. It would take about $115 million

P R O U D LY P R E S E N T S

to chop the gas tax from 17 to 11 cents a litre, or $350 million to eliminate it altogether. Without road pricing, new bridges are assumed to be tolled like the Port Mann. Transportation Minister Todd Stone has promised a review of the province’s current tolling policy, which allows tolls only on new infrastructure and only if there’s a free alternative. He has indicated the current tolling system would have to be reorganized in the name of fairness if the region ends up with just one heavily congested untolled crossing of the Fraser – the Alex Fraser Bridge. The no campaign leader Jordan Bateman said he’s not yet convinced the existing Massey Tunnel needs to be replaced and he doesn’t buy claims road pricing would be revenue-neutral. He said there are privacy concerns about a GPS system, which would be complex and fraught with potential problems. “In theory, road pricing is great,” Bateman said. “But when TransLink gets their hands on theoretical things and makes them real, they have a disturbing habit of screwing them up.” 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.

THE ROAD RULES www.roadrules.ca

n March 31, 2015, another ‘first’ was added to the history books. A blue Audi SQ5 crossover drove into New York City or, more precisely drove itself into the city just in time for the opening of the New York International Auto Show, ending a journey begun nine days earlier on Treasure Island, located in San Francisco Bay near the mid-point of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge in northern California. The Audi headed south to Los Angeles on Day 1, and then turned east to cross the southern states for three days. It turned north for the next five —from Mississippi to New York including a quick trip through Washington, DC. The Audi - ‘Roadrunner’ - , so nick-named by its ‘hands-off ’ engineering crew, packed with technology developed by Delphi Automotive PLC, covered 99 percent of the 3,400 mile/5,472 kilometer distance in fully automated mode making this the longest North American and first coast-tocoast automated drive. Travelling six to eight hours per day—and never on its own at night—Roadrunner, said Delphi’s Chief Technology Officer Jeff Owens, “perform[ed] exceptionally well… navigat[ing] through mountains, heat, traffic jams, trucks, road construction, and even tumbleweed.” Intervention by a ‘human operator’ occurred “once in a construction zone and once to avoid police stopped on the hard shoulder.” And he said, while “improvements are needed in the way the car recognizes road markings of different types and qualities, …overall the project has been a huge success.”

Delphi Automotive PLC describes itself as “a leading global supplier of technologies … that make cars and trucks smarter and safer as well as more powerful and efficient.” This record-setting trip, therefore, aside from the publicity benefits, was also a data-gathering exercise, producing nearly three terabytes, described as “about 30 percent of all of the printed material in the Library of Congress.” Equipped with six long-range radars, four short-range radars, three vision-based cameras, six lidars (light detection and ranging devices), a localization system, intelligent software algorithms and a full suite of Advanced Drive Assistance Systems, Roadrunner was tasked on this trip with demonstrating its most advanced capabilities. Said Delphi’s Jeff Owens “our vehicle performed remarkably well during this drive, exceeding our expectations.” The vehicle demonstrated the ability to instantaneously make complex decisions, like stopping and proceeding at a four-way stop, timing a highway merge, calculating how to maneuver safely around a bicyclist on a city street, and warning the driver to resume control using both verbal and visual warnings. While implementation of this technology for all motor vehicles may be still on the distant horizon the self-driving car concept has now been proven. Wired Magazine noted that “What’s remarkable isn’t the fact Delphi completed this trip, but the fact several companies could have done it. Google, Audi, or Mercedes would have had little trouble handling this level of autonomous highway driving. The news here isn’t that this was possible, but that it was so easy.” The same magazine article pointed out that “Google may be more advanced than anyone: The tech giant says its self-driving cars are so far along, they can recognize and respond to hand signals from a police officer directing traffic.”

Waste plant opponents seek reinforcements ▶ RIVER DEFENDER SAYS HAZARDOUS WASTE TOO RISKY NEAR FRASER JEFF NAGEL

Opponents of the proposed Aevitas hazardous waste recycling plant near the Fraser River in Chilliwack are urging Metro Vancouver to join their push for a safer site. Outdoor Research

Council of B.C. chair Mark Angelo on Thursday urged Metro directors to take a stand because toxins from mercury to PCBs could spill or seep directly into the river due to an accident, flood, fire or earthquake. “They could not have picked a worse location,” Angelo told Metro’s climate action committee, adding he doesn’t oppose the proposal of Ontario-based Aevitas Inc., only its

location less than 200 metres from the Fraser. The plant would recycle metal, glass and mercury from light bulbs and remove PCBs from transformer oil for re-use but the prospect has stirred up fierce opposition in the Fraser Valley. Angelo said downstream communities are also at risk, as well as the habitat of salmon and sturgeon, if something goes wrong.

“Why play Russian roulette with the river when you don’t have to?” he asked. “Nowhere else in North America are plants like this being built alongside rivers,” he said. Chilliwack city council has agreed to the project in principle and rezoned the land, but a final approval decision will be up to the provincial environment ministry. Ministry officials have said it will only be allowed if it’s deemed safe but have not yet decided if a full environmental assessment will be required. The Metro committee referred the issue to staff to report back with more information and a recommended position. Richmond Coun. Harold Steves said he opposes the plant location and added the Metro regional district should not hesitate to wade into the debate on the threat of toxins flowing downriver, in light of the Fraser Valley Regional District’s strong opposition to Metro’s waste-to-energy incineration plans. The FVRD argues its air quality will be harmed by emissions blowing east from increased garbage incineration and it has also opposed the renewal of the operating permit for Metro’s existing incinerator. “Fair is fair,” Steves said. “They’re concerned about air quality, well we’re concerned about water quality.” Aboriginal leaders in the Fraser Valley also oppose the Aevitas project and have said they cannot imagine any acceptable location on the river’s floodplain.

Surrey man recognized for volunteerism ▶ RAGHBIR SINGH BAINS HONOURED BY PRIME MINISTER BLACK PRESS

A Surrey man has been honoured by the prime minister for his volunteer efforts. Raghbir Singh Bains is among 17 recipients of this year’s Prime

Minister’s Volunteer Awards (PMVA) and attended a special ceremony hosted by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Toronto last month. The PMVSA recognize two national recipients – one for lifelong achievement and one for an emerging leader – as well as 15 regional recipients,

including individuals, businesses and not-forprofit organizations. The awards also highlight best practices in community leadership and encourage partnerships across sectors. “Canada ranks near the very top of the World Giving Index. Our generosity is evident abroad, but it is also plainly seen

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TAKE NOTICE THAT pursuant to sections 24 and 94 of the Community Charter, S.B.C. 2003, c. 26, as amended, the City of Surrey (the “City”) hereby gives notice of its intention to provide assistance under a partnering agreement between Bosa Properties (104) Inc. (“Bosa”) and the City, dated for reference the 30th day of March, 2015 (the “agreement”). AND THAT the Agreement, as approved by Council on September 29, 2014, is essential to the implementation of the District Energy System Bylaw and follows the District Energy Early Adopters Policy (“the Policy”) in order to mitigate some of the additional costs of hydronic heating systems for “early adopters”. The form of assistance is outlined in the Agreement. The assistance consists of up to $1.50 per sq. ft. of dwelling unit area, but in any case such assistance will not exceed $287,514.00. Assistance under the Policy is time-limited and will not be required as the market shifts more generally to hydronic systems. AND THAT the Agreement and any relevant background documentation may be inspected at the City Hall, Office of the City Clerk, 13450 – 104 Avenue, Surrey, BC, Monday through Friday (except statutory holidays) between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Any inquiries concerning the proposed assistance may be addressed to the City’s District Energy Manager 604 591 4742 or JOwen@surrey.ca Jane Sullivan City Clerk

every day, right here at home,” said Harper at the ceremony. “Contributing to their community is the primary motivation for Canadian volunteers, who gladly and freely give their time, energy and experience.” The recipients were presented with medals, certificates and lapel pins during the ceremony. As part of their recognition package, each recipient will identify a not-forprofit organization to receive a one-time funding grant in its honour. Not-for-profit organizations identified by the 15 regional awards recipients will each receive $5,000, and those identified by the two national awards recipients will each receive $10,000. According to a news release, Bains’ voluntary efforts have left a significant mark on his community. He is a trained drug counsellor, translator and interpreter, and has arranged and hosted hundreds of seminars, conferences,

rallies, exhibitions and youth workshops. Bains often gives free lectures to students in schools, colleges and universities on subjects such as life skills, multiculturalism, diversity, cooperative living, nationalism, cultural values, drugs, trafficking, sexual assault, prostitution, bullying, domestic violence and more. His work has helped countless immigrants with language barriers overcome social chal-

lenges and settle in British Columbia. Bains has sat on many advisory committees in Surrey, Delta and Vancouver. He has also helped to raise awareness on the plight of HIV/AIDS in Africa and the ill effects of substance abuse around the world. “Social challenges are being tackled in new ways across the country,” Harper said. “Local organizations could not achieve the incredible level of

success they do, and Canadian communities would not be as vibrant if it weren’t for the talented, capable volunteers and charitable efforts of innovative organizations from coast to coast to coast.” The call for the 2015 nominations for the Prime Minister’s Volunteer Awards launched on April 13, and will run until June 30.

challenges. “We couldn’t have picked a better day to host an army run,” says MWO Kevin Fierling. Despite the hardships, the experience was unforgettable – in a good way – for everyone who turned out for the “epic” run, Fierling said. Fierling, who was

awarded a plaque recognizing his individual leadership skills on the course, says the participants pushed each other to go faster, harder and further than they thought possible. The aim of the challenge was to raise money that will be used to create a scholarship commemorating a cadet volunteer. Dayle Rudman was a tireless champion for the cadet program – both in the areas of track and field, and the arts. She passed away suddenly last fall. A scholarship open to Seaforth Highlander cadets who exemplify these qualities will be created through the registration fees from the cadet army run, and from private donations. The March 29 event raised $340.

The term “university” is used under the written consent of the Minister of Advanced Education effective April 11, 2007, having undergone a quality assessment process and been found to meet the criteria established by the minister. City University of Seattle is a not-for-profit and an Equal Opportunity institution accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.

Arts, 11489 84 Ave. The evening will feature the trio’s unique blend of world music styles. Prevedoros is renowned for his instrumental expertise, exuberant live performances, original compositions and innovative re-imaginings of works by other composers. His repertoire of multigenre music includes a mix of jazz, Latin, pop, classical, Celtic and folk. Since 1988, Prevedoros has released ten internationally distributed recordings and sold nearly half a million CDs. Golden is a percussionist specializing in Indian tabla drums. His interpretation of Indian classical music, African, blues and other world music styles spans a three-decade career. A highlight of his performances are his compositions on the new and elusive hand played steel drum the hang (pronounced hung), a flying saucer-esque instrument from Switzerland. Joy brings a fusion of Celtic, baroque, folkrock, and contemporary jazz elements to the mix, through his mastery of guitar, flute, and hammered dulcimer. Joy has recorded eighteen albums, which have sold more than a quarter million copies worldwide. His music has also been used on many compilation albums in Europe and Southeast Asia. “There is a mesmeric quality to what we do,” said Joy. Prevedoros added: “I think people like the fact that we’re not trying to hit them over the head with a message.” Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door.

Cloverdale pair ranked among NHL prospects ▼ CENTRAL SCOUTING RATES PARKER WOTHERSPOON, TYLER SOY AMONG TOP 100 NORTH AMERICAN SKATERS. RICK KUPCHUK

Tyler Wotherspoon of Cloverdale, pictured while with the Calgary Flames last season, has again been called up from their minor league affiliate. FILE PHOTO

Wotherspoon gets the call from the Flames ▼ LOCAL DEFENCEMAN IN HIS SECOND SEASON AS A PROFESSIONAL, JOINS NHL TEAM DURING ITS PUSH FOR THE PLAYOFFS RICK KUPCHUK

The good news for Tyler Wotherspoon is he’s back in the National Hockey League (NHL). But that doesn’t mean the Cloverdale native is seeing any action as his Calgary Flames battle for a playoff position. Wotherspoon, 22, joined the Flames last Friday after he was called up from the Adirondack Flames of the American Hockey League (AHL). He has practiced with Calgary for the past week, and while he has been a healthy scratch for the three games the NHL team has played in the past week, he’s still happy with the situation. “It’s just part of the business,” Wotherspoon told the Calgary Sun. “Obviously, it’s tough travelling that much but you’ve got to stick with it and not let it bother you at all.” A second-round pick by the Flames in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, Wotherspoon is in his second season as a professional. The six-foot-two, 210-pound defenceman

has played in 61 games for Adirondack this season, scoring twice and adding 22 assists for 24 points. He played in 14 NHL games last season after he was a late-season call-up from the AHL, given some playing time at the highest level after the Flames had fallen out of the playoff race. This season, he’s in Calgary in case of injury during the final week of the regular season, and possibly the playoffs next week. “It’s a good feeling to be called up at this time of year, especially with the playoff push right now and this environment. It’s nice to get this experience,” he said. “It’s a different environment with all that’s happening in the standings and how big these games are. It’s totally different from last year, there was less pressure I would say. This year, there’s a lot riding on the line and it’s exciting.” Another Surrey native continues to make the most of his late-season addition to an NHL roster. Ottawa Senators goaltender Andrew Hammond was named the First Star of the Week by the NHL Monday. It was the second time Hammond was the First Star of the Week, and third time he was among the Three Stars continued on page 35

Two former Cloverdale Minor Hockey Association players currently playing in the Western Hockey League (WHL) are among the top 100 North American skaters in the National Hockey League Central Scouting final rankings. Parker Wotherspoon, currently with the Tri-City Americans, is ranked 43rd while Tyler Soy of the Victoria Royals is listed 78th. Central Scouting ranks players eligible for the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, set for June 26-27 in Sunrise, Florida. Their final rankings were released Wednesday. Wotherspoon, a defenceman in his second season with the Americans, was their leading scorer among defenders with nine goals and 42 points this past season. He added an assist in four playoff games, after which the Americans were eliminated in straight games by the Kelowna Rockets. His brother Tyler is currently with the NHL’s Calgary Flames. He tallied twice and added 16 assists in his rookie season in 2013-14, and is projected to be a third-round selection in the Entry Draft. Soy, a centre, will be playing against the Rockets this weekend in the WHL’s B.C. Division final. He scored twice and added four assists for the Royals in their firstround playoff series, in which they defeated the Prince George Spruce Kings in five games. Soy completed his second season in the provincial capital with 28 goals and 63 points in the regular season, and was named winner of the team’s Unsung Hero award. In his rookie season, Soy tallied 15 times and added 15 assists. He is projected to be a fifth-round selection in the draft.

Sign-up for Superweek ▶ REGISTRATION FOR TOUR DE WHITE ROCK OPEN NICK GREENIZAN

The Tour de White Rock cycling weekend may still be a few months away, but online registration for it and other events on the BC Superweek calendar is already accepting riders. “With the growth of BC Superweek as one of North America’s most recognized professional road-race series, the interest from teams and riders to register as soon as possible has also grown,” said Superweek race director Mark Ernstring. “As a result, we decided to open registration earlier this year than in the past.” The Tour de White Rock is set for the July 17-18, with the popular criterium set for uptown White Rock on the first day (Friday), while the longer road race will be the next morning, with the start/finish line on Marine Drive. For the first time, this year’s event – normally a three-day affair – will not include the hill climb, which was axed from the schedule for 2015. This year, BC Superweek features, in total, six criteriums and two road races. More than $70,000 in cash – plus thousands more in crowd primes – is on the line in the six criterium races. In addition to the Tour de White Rock, other Superweek events include the Tour de Delta, UBC Grand Prix, Global Relay Gastown Grand Prix and the Giro di Burnaby. The men’s races are open to pro 1/2 riders, while the women’s races are open to those in pro 1/2/3 categories. “BC Superweek has always been one of my favourite events,” said veteran cyclist Anika Todd. “The racing is incredible. Challenging courses, top-notch competition and big crowds make (it) a really special experience.”’ For more information, or to register, visit www.bcsuperweek.ca
