ALL BUS RIDERS TO PAY ONE-ZONE FARE ▶ COMPASS CARD ROLLOUT GIVES A BREAK TO SOME TRANSIT USERS, BUT NOT TO OTHERS JEFF NAGEL

TransLink is switching to a onezone fare at all times on buses as the solution that will allow it to roll out its long-delayed Compass card to the entire transit system. It means a price drop of at least $1.25 for regular riders who now pay for two or three zones on certain bus routes that cross zone boundaries. The changes go into effect Oct. 5. Passengers on the 351 bus from White Rock/South Surrey to Bridgeport Station in Richmond, for example, will pay $2.75 for an adult weekday fare, effective Oct. 5, instead of the $4 two-zone fare right now. If they continue on to Vancouver via Canada Line they’ll pay a total of $4 instead of $5.50 previously for three zones. The same applies to riders of the 555 from Langley over the Port Mann Bridge to the SkyTrain in Burnaby. And passengers will pay less on several other routes spanning at least two zones, including buses that cross North Shore bridges, that connect Surrey and Delta to Richmond or New Westminster, or that link the Tri-Cities or Maple Ridge to SkyTrain. TransLink will also abandon the planned Compass card tap-out requirement on buses. That was a major headache for launching the smart card payment system because tests found

Regular transit user Carla Griffin said a one-zone fare should apply to all forms of transit, not just buses. Under the new Compass card system – which launches Oct. 5 – riders on SkyTrain, SeaBus and the West Coast Express will still have to pay multi-zone fares.

Metro water use on target

▼ THANKS TO RESTRICTIONS, RESERVOIR SUPPLY SHOULD LAST UNTIL NOVEMBER RAINS JEFF NAGEL

Metro Vancouver’s move last month to stage 3 water use restrictions, including a full sprinkling ban, is so far on track to get the region through a continued dry summer and fall. Since July 22 the region’s total daily water consumption has been at or below 1.2 billion litres – a target that officials think can conserve enough water in reservoirs even if virtually no rain falls until November. Prior to the stage 3 declaration on July 20, the region was using around 1.4 billion litres a day, and consumption had run as high as 1.7 billion on July 2. “The last 13 days we’ve been under 1.2 billion, which is a really, really good thing,” said Metro utilities committee chair Darrell Mussatto. “At this rate, it will be enough to make it all the way through until November when the big rains come.” The North Vancouver City mayor said most residents across the region “are getting it” and not sprinkling their lawns. A move to stage 4 restrictions does not currently appear necessary and would only be a “last resort” if the water supply is depleted too quickly. It’s helped, he said, that there have been several days of cooler weather with occasional showers, and some residents have been away on vacation. In future years, Mussatto said, Metro may consider moving beyond stage 1 restrictions sooner as a preventative measure. Drier summers are a predicted consequence of climate change for B.C.

Surrey’s John Pothier is miffed the city decided to do road work outside his home at night instead of during the day.

Losing sleep over night-time road work ▼ WHILE SURREY IS CUTTING INTO 160 STREET TO REPLACE WATER MAINS, IT IS ALSO CUTTING INTO JOHN POTHIER’S MUCH-NEEDED SHUTEYE KEVIN DIAKIW

John Pothier hasn’t slept well in days because the City of Surrey has determined crews must cut up the road in front of his home throughout the night. He says because of that plan, he hasn’t slept in days. Pothier, who works as a plumber by day, is mystified why the city didn’t decide to do the work during the day and detour traffic on 160 Street, near 99 Avenue. “Something like that is totally unacceptable,” Pothier said Thursday. “Why can’t they do this in the daytime? Am I supposed to listen to this through the night for the next eight days?” Fraser Smith, Surrey’s General Manager of Engineering, said Thursday the evening work became necessary because the city is laying in 22 new water main connections across

160 Street near 99 Avenue between Aug. 4 and 12. Crews are cutting into the road, digging down a metre, and laying down a single piece of pipe. They are able to install four pipes a night. It’s extremely noisy work. But to conduct work in the daytime would mean detouring traffic and cutting off water to local homes needing the new water connection. Smith agrees it’s a less than perfect situation. “We believed it was the lesser of two evils,” Smith said. “I apologize for that. I wish there was something we could do.” He noted the contractor likely won’t be happy putting in night shifts either, as that usually ends up meaning ▶ “We believed it higher labour costs. Pothier said Friday he was the lesser of was able to get about five two evils. I apologize hours sleep, but he’s just beat from the relentless for that.

will soon be able to buy just a $91 one-zone month pass, saving $33 or $396 a year compared to the cost of a $124 two-zone pass. Similar savings can be had by frequent riders of various bus routes

between Surrey/North Delta and either New Westminster or Richmond, or from Maple Ridge to SkyTrain in New Westminster. But the biggest winners from the elimination of zone pricing on buses are likely regular riders of the 160 bus from Port Coquitlam Station to Vancouver or the 190 from Co-

quitlam Station to Vancouver. Those are two of only three routes in the region that traverse three zones, so regular riders on those routes who now pay $170 for a three-zone monthly pass will see that cost cut to $91. That $79 a month saving adds up to $948 a year.

buses there instead. But there are concerns the elimination of twoor three-zone bus fares may result in worse bus congestion on certain routes. Buses that cross bridges like the Ironworkers Memorial or Port Mann will suddenly be cheaper to take than boarding a SeaBus or SkyTrain. Surrey transit rider Joel Booey wonders how TransLink will handle the increase in demand. “Will they increase the number of buses and what will the frequency be? I’ll still take SkyTrain even though I have to pay more.” Cathy McLay, TransLink’s chief financial officer and the incomCathy ing acting CEO, McLay said TransLink is not projecting any net drop in revenue from giving up the extra zone charges because more bus riders will be attracted by the fare break. “We think it will all balance out – the increased ridership will cover off any loss,” she said. But McLay was unable

to say whether or how TransLink will put on more buses on routes that could see higher volumes. “Unfortunately, with the No plebiscite, there is no increase in transit services,” she said. The changed bus fare system is billed as temporary pending a fare policy review and a possible eventual move to distance-based transit pricing. There are no plans to increase one-zone bus fares, McLay said. TransLink says it will begin activating Compass vending machines later this month at SkyTrain stations and SeaBus terminals. They’ll initially sell single-use Compass tickets, but actual Compass cards will be available via the machines by late October, and by November in retail outlets, walk-in centres and by mail for those ordering online or by phone. As for when fare gates will actually close and secure the system, that could be months longer as TransLink waits for riders to use up pre-paid

locations and times of the start and end of each trip so planners can more precisely match route service levels with demand. But Compass program vice-president Lloyd Bauer suggested much data will still be useful because analytic systems can infer where passengers exit in many cases. Bus passengers have long paid only one zone fares at off peak times after 7 p.m. weekdays and on weekends and holidays.

The base Compass fares will be the same as FareSaver pricing, with options for passengers to buy other options like a day or month pass.

New transit world coming with Compass card ▼ SMART CARD CONVENIENCE, ADVANTAGES ON TAP FOR ALL METRO VANCOUVER USERS BY THIS FALL JEFF NAGEL

A minority of transit users are already using it, but the full rollout of TransLink’s Compass card this fall will bring cashfree convenience and other advantages to all other riders who sign up. No longer will passengers have to find correct change for a cash fare, or spend time buying prepaid tickets or passes ahead of time at stores. Instead, they’ll log in to the compasscard.ca website or insert the card at kiosks and load money on their account, which will be automatically drawn down as they use it. Users won’t even have to remember to reload their card – they can activate a Compass option that automatically tops up the account when it falls below $5 with a pre-set amount from their bank account or credit card. Right now, passengers who lose their monthly pass are simply out of luck and a bunch of money. Under Compass, as long as they’ve registered the card, they’ll be able to deactivate a lost or stolen card and transfer the balance to a new one. FareSaver tickets and paper monthly passes and day passes will cease to be sold at some point, likely by early 2016. Compass users will be able to buy electronic versions of those passes for their account. For regular monthly pass users, the auto-load option can be set to automatically buy the next month’s pass. Users can check their balances online, through a mobile

website, or through an automated phone system. Families will be able to have multiple cards registered to one payment account. And come tax time, monthly pass users who until now had to collect their monthly receipts to claim the federal public transit tax credit will now be able to simply print a transaction history from the Compass website. Holdouts who don’t want Compass will still be able to pay cash, but it will cost them more. Fares paid by Compass with money loaded as “stored value” will get a 14 per cent discount from the cash fare. At transit stations, cash payers will buy a paper Compass ticket at a vending machine that will work at faregates. Buses will continue to accept cash indefinitely but the paper transfers they issue won’t work at SkyTrain or SeaBus once the Compass faregates are shut – those riders will have to pay an extra fare at that point. By October, people will be able to buy Compass cards in station vending machines. By November, they’ll be available through retail outlets or by mail order over the phone and online. Officials aren’t predicting exactly when all the faregates will be closed. The long-delayed rollout is happening now because TransLink on Thursday abandoned its original plan to require passengers tap out as they exit buses. As of Oct. 5 it will charge only one zone on bus routes that previously required payment for two or three zones. Further in the future, other things become possible as well with Compass. TransLink wants to ultimately charge based on actual distance travelled. And when a major service disruption occurs, it may be possible to issue refunds to the specific Compass users affected by something like the SkyTrain meltdowns over the past year. For more information on the system, see askcompass.ca

Wineries, brewers can sell booze they didn’t make ▶ CROSS-PROMOTION TO BE UNLEASHED WITH NEW LIQUOR REFORM JEFF NAGEL

Wineries, breweries, cideries and distilleries with licensed lounges can now sell patrons liquor they didn’t produce. Until now, a distillery couldn’t sell anything other than the spirits it produces – a glass of B.C. wine was off-limits – and a winery couldn’t oblige if one guest at a table wanted a beer instead of the local grape. Those lines are erased under the latest change stemming from B.C.’s liquor policy review. But there will be a limit – a maximum of 20 per cent of sales by a given producer can consist of liquor produced off-site. That’s intended to keep the focus on unique local offerings. “We are doing away with B.C.’s archaic liquor rules,” Attorney General Suzanne Anton said, adding the change will give more choice to consumers while supporting B.C. tourism and small businesses. Craft Distillers Guild of B.C. president Tyler Dyck said the move opens the door for craft brewers, vintners and distillers to cross-promote each other. The new rules also apply to special events, so a wedding or other event at a winery or other liquor producer will no longer have to get a special occasion licence to serve alcohol. Anton indicated more reforms may be coming in areas where “further red tape can be cut.”

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Wednesday August 12 2015

Slow down, stay safe Near the beginning of every summer – before people take to our province’s highways in greater numbers for family vacations, music festivals, camping or the like – the word goes out about staying safe on the road. Police and other community groups – not to mention countless editorials in newspapers and other media – are quick to espouse the dangers of excessive speed, distracted driving, driving under the influence or driving without undue care. But despite the warnings, the summer never goes by without hearing of serious crashes both here in the Lower Mainland and elsewhere across B.C. In the last few weeks alone, major crashes on the Coquihalla Highway and Highway 1 in the Okanagan – two involving buses – have closed roads and resulted in serious injuries, even death. Perhaps drivers’ attention

spans are diminished this time of year, or maybe there is some scientific reason for what seems to be an increase in traffic accidents. Or maybe it’s just bad luck. For certain, during the summer, there are many drivers anxious, even over-anxious, to get to their destination, be it a summer cabin or simply a family barbecue. Regardless of the journey’s end, it’s worth taking a little extra time to plan ahead for travel, whether it be the route you’re taking, the time you depart, or a combination of the two. Both can pose challenges with more people on the roads and create unnecessary stress that often leads to aggressive and unsafe driving actions. We’ve all seen people passing when it’s unsafe, driving at overly high speeds or tailgating, to name but

RAESIDE

a few indiscretions. If no crash or mishap occurs as a result of such actions, the people victimized by such aggressive driving can count themselves lucky. But that’s not always the case. As the popular bumper sticker states, “Failure to plan on your part does not dictate an emergency on my part.” How true. Demonstrating patience is not necessarily taught by driving schools or listed in any handbook, but it’s a critically important aspect of defensive driving. Preventing all examples of dangerous driving on the highway, or even lower-speed roads, is impossible, but we can all still do our part to limit the damage. At the very least, remember to breathe when behind the wheel. You’ll get there eventually, even without driving like a knucklehead.

Sorting out federal election issues BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

The first, and perhaps the only complete English-language debate in this long federal election campaign has helped define the issues, and the non-issues. I’m not going to try to tell you who “won” or “came out swinging,” because this is not a sporting event. If you’re paying attention in August, bless you, and you probably have a favourite already. First, let’s deal with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s diabolical scheme to extend the length of the formal election period. This, according to national pundits, is an extension of his evil plot to attract more financial supporters than the other parties, and spend the money. In other words, it’s a non-issue and any opponent who dwells on it looks like a whiner. This is the first election in modern Canadian history to follow a fouryear schedule. National pundits spent months telling us Harper was going to use a loophole in his own election law to call a spring vote before the economy tanked. Didn’t happen, and now

the Conservatives are rightly under scrutiny about their economic management. Incumbent manipulation of election timing is over, and that’s good. Scheduled elections by their nature create longer campaigns, as demonstrated in B.C. and the United States. So they should be conducted under formal campaign rules, which limit the noise of public sector unions and other special interests. Another non-issue is the non-existent deficit and recession that supposedly grips Canada. On actual results, there is a slim surplus, and if – a big if – Saudi Arabia continues to depress world oil prices, there may be a modest deficit by next spring. The Bank of Canada’s recent move to devalue the dollar has already produced a rebound in exports and tourism, which any government would appreciate. Have you tried to find parking at the mall lately? Of particular interest to B.C. voters is the contest between NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and Green Party lead-

er Elizabeth May. May used what may be her only national debate appearance to press Mulcair to oppose the TransMountain pipeline expansion project before hearings are complete. Mindful of Adrian Dix’s disastrous 2013 decision to do the same in B.C., Mulcair insisted he would wait for the federal review, even though he considers it to be inadequate. This is, of course, all theatre. Based on their actions, the NDP, Green Party and Liberals are all opposed not just to oil pipelines but export gas pipelines as well. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau wants to cancel capital cost allowances for liquefied natural gas investment that have been granted by B.C. and Ottawa, which could be a deal-breaker for LNG. B.C. NDP leader John Horgan formalized his opposition to the TransMountain expansion last week, in a letter filed with the National Energy Board. But we’re expected to believe that Mulcair has a different position,

for now. Harper was forced to admit that his long effort to persuade U.S. President Barack Obama to approve the Keystone XL pipeline has failed, and the project will have to wait until Obama leaves office next year. The debate also confirmed positions on Canada’s modest role in bombing Islamic State terrorist positions in Iraq and Syria. The Conservatives are for it, and the Liberals, NDP and Greens are against it. Trudeau set the stage for the contest in Quebec, which B.C. voters can only watch from afar to see if it once again decides the shape of their federal government. Trudeau pushed Mulcair on his cynical bid to court the separatist voters who suddenly swung to Jack Layton’s NDP in 2011. Like petroleum prices, it’s beyond our control.

City has deaf ears in regard to crime ▼ CITIZENS SHUT OUT OF MEANINGFUL REFORM It was interesting to read your July 17 article by Kevin Diakiw, in which he reported that a high-profile member of Surrey’s environmental committee, Bob Campbell, had quit in protest of the way he’s been treated and the dysfunction of the committee itself. He states he was openly mocked when he attempted to raise and discuss important issues. Is that not the job of an advisory group? The article notes that Mr. Campbell may be the most recent member to resign, but there were others in the past. Dr. Roy Strang departed in frustration about 10 years ago and the late Dr. Tom Godwin left the committee when he decided recommendations were falling on deaf ears of council. I can identify with their frustration. The City of Surrey used to have a Community Consultant Group. After the murder of mother-of-three Julie Paskall at the Newton ice rink, we unanimously passed a motion that recommended the city organize a multi-level governmental meeting to discuss and find solutions to the crime issues in our city. That was over a year-and-a-half ago. The city has never organized such a meeting, and furthermore, has never re-instated that consultant group. They

to make change help us find solutions to our crime problems? Simply stating that this must stop does nothing to resolve the problems. Last fall, after the tragic murder of

17-year-old Serena Vermeersch, a number of concerned citizens organized a rally in Newton. Our call for action was that mayor and council organize the multi-level government meeting we had asked for eight months prior and start working on solutions to our crime problems. All of our currently elected council were in the audience that day and we still do not have a multi-level government meeting organized to find solutions to our crime problems. A couple of months ago it was the murder of the Arun Bains, 22, in Newton; a few weeks or so ago it was the murder of father-of-two Colin Hill in Cloverdale. Residents in Port Kells recently woke up to a targeted shooting in our neighbourhood – and on, and on it continues. The questions beg to be asked, what other city in Canada had to requisition 100 police officers all at the same time, and does this indicate that the serious crime situation in Surrey has been a long time in the making due to lack of police resources and an understaffed bylaw department? Do we need federal reforms to our justice system? Do we need the province to implement the recommendations of the attorney general’s blue ribbon panel report “Tough on Crime?” One thing is for sure, we need a multi-level government meeting to find answers and solutions to these questions.

In 2006, Abrosimo, now 52, was sentenced to 14 years in prison, followed by a 10-year supervision order for abducting an 11-yearold Langley girl from a rural Aldergrove road. In August 2004, he used his van to knock down two children who were riding bicycles along 256 Street, kidnapping the 11-year-

old girl, taping her eyes and mouth, and driving her to Surrey, where he sexually assaulted her. She got out of the van and ran off and she ran to a nearby home. Her friend was left behind in a ditch, with cuts, bruises and a broken wrist, watching the van disappear. Abrosimo was also convicted of handcuffing and gagging a sextrade worker before violently assaulting and raping her the month prior to the abduction of the Langley girl. On July 16, the

Boulevard trees need your help to get water during hot and dry times. If your boulevard tree is less than 15 feet tall (that’s about twice the height of your front door) please water it regularly.

During Stage 3 Water Restrictions you are permitted to water boulevard trees with hand-held, spring-loaded shut-off nozzles. Water twice a week for 15 minutes with a slow stream of water (that’s about 20 litres of water) to ensure it soaks into the ground.

parole board voted to detain Abrosimo until the end of his sentence in 2020, concluding that “there is no supervision programs that would protect the community adequately from the risk that you present at this time.” A psychological risk assessment done on Abrosimo on June 2 concluded that he is impulsive and has a “very high risk to reoffend, both generally and with sexual violence.” The parole board noted that the emotional damage Abrosimo has inflicted on his victims is permanent and devastating. The girl’s family urged the parole board to keep Abrosimo behind bars forever. At the hearing, Abrosimo told board members that he attributed his actions to his addiction to meth and the “monster within.” He assured them he would never use drugs again and that “the monster is dead.” But the board found his observations to be naive and optimistic. In December 2013, he punched another offender in the face in an unprovoked attack. At the parole hearing, Abrosimo revealed that when he snatched

Brian Abrosimo, seen here in a very dated photo, was sentenced in 2006 to 14 years jail for kidnapping and assaulting a Langley girl. FILE PHOTO the girl in 2004, he had actually intended to keep her for a day or so. Prior to abducting the girl he had altered the appearance of his van, placed a mattress in it. There were handcuffs, bolt cutters and a handgun in the van at the time of the kidnapping. Prior to the crime, he was frequenting crack houses, exchanging money for sex. Abrosimo’s criminal history dates back to 1986, and includes impaired driving, making threats and using violence to gain compliance from victims. In 1992, he gagged

and raped his former girlfriend. At one point, her children were present. Abrosimo was convicted of that crime in 1995 and received a two-year sentence. After being released on full parole a year later, he was arrested for firing a gun multiple times at a man. In 2003, while high on drugs, he threatened to shoot a police officer and himself. He claimed to have a gun but was, in fact, in possession of a stapler. In 2004, before the kidnapping and sexual assault of the Langley girl, he went back to the home of his ex-wife and assaulted her, allegedly attempting to rape her again. Abrosimo suffered a brain injury during a jail riot in 2008. But, since birth, he has had limited cognitive abilities and low intelligence. In his sentencing report, the court learned that Abrosimo was sent to a special needs school where it is alleged he was physically and sexually abused. In 2010, he tried to sue the attorney general, saying he was being harshly treated during his incarceration and that his life had been threatened.

Toddler survives fall ▼ BOY FELL THROUGH SECOND-STOREY SCREEN WINDOW KEVIN DIAKIW

A child escaped injury after falling from a second floor window in the Sullivan Heights neighbourhood of Surrey on the weekend. On Sunday at about 10:30 a.m., a boy just under two-years-old climbed up some boxes near a window, leaned against a window screen

and tumbled out. He was rushed to hospital, held for observation and released. Police say it’s another fortunate result in a situation that could have been much worse. Parents are reminded that young kids can be much faster than often imagined. Caregivers are reminded to secure windows securely and/or make sure children have no access to them.

A man is in hospital after being stabbed in the chest in a Fleetwood RV park. The manager of the park in the Tynehead RV Camp at 16275 102 Ave., confronted some people who were squatting in an abandoned trailer. One of the residents of the park saw the manager attending and came to help. At one point, police believe one of the squatters pulled a knife and stabbed the man who came to help. The man suffered a serious wound to the chest and was taken to hospital, but is expected to survive. Police say if the knife wound was a couple of centimetres one way or the other, it could have been fatal. A man has been taken into custody and as of Monday at noon, had not yet been charged.

Dramatic crashes on Pattullo Bridge damage 30 vehicles KEVIN DIAKIW

Police are considering whether to recommend drunk driving charges after a dramatic string of collisions on the Pattullo Bridge last week. On Thursday at about 6 p.m., a Surrey woman was heading northbound on the bridge into New Westminster when she veered into the centre pylon dividers and collided with up to 30 vehicles heading south. No one was hurt in the accident. She continued northbound until she smashed into a concrete barrier. Members of the New Westminster Police Department arrested the driver for impaired driving. She was later released with an administrative driving prohibition. An impaired driving investigation is ongoing.

Woman found sleeping in stolen car One of the 10 most wanted car theft suspects in the province has been re-arrested after she was found sleeping in a stolen car in Whalley. On July 21, a local business owner saw a person sleeping in a car in a parking lot in the 11800-block of 103A Avenue and called police. Officers arrived and determined the car was stolen. They woke the woman and told her she was under arrest. They asked for her identification, but she said she had none. She was asked her name, gave one, and was warned it was an offense to give a false name. She stuck to the name she provided. When officers went back to the car, they ran the name, which turned out to be a real person in the police database. The picture did not match the person in the car. They later found out the woman was 22-year-old Laetitia Acera – one of B.C.’s most wanted alleged car thieves. She has been charged with possession of property obtained by crime, resisting or obstructing a peace officer, and four counts of breaching court undertakings. She was already facing charges from an offense in Penticton on May 7, and appeared in court on Aug. 5 on charges of willfully resisting or obstructing a peace officer. From that incident, she had been facing 17 charges, including intent to gain advantage, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, failure to stop at an accident and fraud. She was due back in court on Aug. 7 regarding both the allegations in the Penticton matter and the charges from July 21 in Surrey.

More witnesses to four-car crash sought Police are still investigating a dramatic accident that sent up to seven people to hospital last month. On Tuesday, July 28, at approximately 9:30 p.m., a white Mercedes was travelling southbound on 152 Street when it collided with a vehicle entering a driveway to a golf course near 79 Avenue on the west side of the street. The Mercedes careened off of the car and drove into northbound lanes where it hit a pick-up truck. Meanwhile, the vehicle entering the driveway lost a golf cart it was towing in a trailer. The cart then headed down the road, hitting another car. In all, seven people were hurt. Anyone who witnessed the incident or has further information is asked to call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Labour contracts inked with 14 institutions JEFF NAGEL

The province has signed new five-year labour contracts providing 5.5 per cent pay hikes with unions representing nearly 7,500 workers at 14 post-secondary institutions. The recently ratified agreements follow the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s same â&#x20AC;&#x153;economic stability mandateâ&#x20AC;? that has been the pattern for other public sector unions. Within the Lower Mainland, the new agreements include 1,000 instructors, counsellors and librarians and other staff at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU), plus another 575 support and administrative service staff at KPU campuses in Cloverdale, Langley, Surrey and Richmond. Other facilities in the region that have new contracts with faculty

or support staff include Douglas College, Capilano College, Emily Carr University of Art + Design, the B.C. Institute of Technology and the Justice Institute of B.C. The economic stability agreements, which now cover 230,000 workers across the province or three-quarters of the unionized public sector, promise extra wage hikes if B.C. exceeds its economic growth forecasts.

HOV lane rules tighten Solo drivers can no longer use the Highway 1 HOV lanes west of the Port Mann Bridge on evenings and weekends. HOV restrictions there had been relaxed during construction of the Port Mann/Highway 1 expansion project but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be back in

effect 24 hours a day as of Aug. 1. Officials say the HOV rule relaxation helped avoid traffic jams on the corridor at off peak times when work required multiple lane closures. Final finishing work wraps up later this summer. Dedicated HOV offramps â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â at 156 Street, 202 Street and Grandview â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â will also be restricted to vehicles with two or more occupants 24 hours a day.

Metrotown station is also to see $58 million in improvements to be complete by December 2017, and $12 million is earmarked for New Westminster station. TransLink is paying half the costs with the remaining contributions coming from the provincial and federal governments.

SkyTrain station upgrades

A surge in shellfish-related illness because of the hot summer weather has prompted the B.C. Centre for Disease Control to issue a warning to oyster lovers. The centre says 35 cases of a bacterial infection called Vibrio parahaemolyticus have been reported in June and July â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an unprecedented number. Most people got sick from eating raw B.C. oysters served in restaurants, although some cases involved oysters that were self-harvested

Work is beginning on more than $135 million worth of SkyTrain station upgrades that are to be completed over the next couple of years. The biggest upgrade is the $67 million at Commercial-Broadway station, which is the busiest station on the rapid transit system and expected to get busier yet when the Evergreen Line opens to Coquitlam. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to finish in spring of 2017.

Illness from tainted oysters soars with heat

or bought at retail outlets. The bacteria occurs naturally in shellfish like oysters, clams, mussels, scallops and cockles and their concentrations rise in the summer months when water temperatures get warmer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The risk is especially high this summer, as we can see from the number of Vibrio infections reported during the last two months,â&#x20AC;? said BCCDC epidemiologist Marsha Taylor. People can get sick when contaminated shellfish are eaten raw or undercooked. Diarrhea is the most common symptom from infection, but nausea, vomiting, fever, headache and bloody stools can also result. Symptoms last three days to a week and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually require treatment. The BCCDC advises consumers to eat only cooked shellfish to destroy the bacteria and reduce the risk of gastrointestinal illness.

The lack of rain this summer has reduced the number of prime breeding sites for mosquitoes.

Drought means fewer mosquitoes this summer The hot dry spring and summer has helped swat down most of the Lower Mainlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mosquitoes by denying them their usual prime breeding sites. SFU mosquitoe biologist Carl Lowenberger said the drought has translated into a nice reprieve from the pests in most areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a result of the dry spell, we have fewer pots of standing water, therefore nowhere to lay eggs, which equals reduced populations,â&#x20AC;? he said. Some mosquitoe species lay eggs on land that must get flooded the next spring to hatch â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â usually from snowmelt or rivers overflowing their banks. Because of the drought, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low snowpack and the

lack of flooding of lowlands by the Fraser, those species are â&#x20AC;&#x153;doing nothingâ&#x20AC;? this year, Lowenberger said. But the eggs can survive a couple of years, so those mosquitoes could still emerge next year if conditions are wetter. Other types of mosquitoes, such as the Culex species, overwinter as adults and can begin breeding immediately in the spring, provided they find water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They like dark, dank, dirty conditions,â&#x20AC;? Lowenberger said, adding they often find a haven in storm drains and dtiches in agricultural areas. Despite the drought, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heard complaints of many mosquitoes in pockets of Delta, Richmond and parts of the Fraser Valley. Lowenberger suspects some Lower Mainland municipalities are no longer treating storm drains and other breeding grounds as aggressively with bacterial insecticides as concern about West Nile virus waned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;West Nile is on the back burner now, nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerned about it, so it seems they might have let that go,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming from the storm drains, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably not being treated.â&#x20AC;?

B.C. New Democrats have staked out a formal position against approval of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion ahead of final arguments later this month before the National Energy Board (NEB). In comments filed with the NEB, the NDP caucus urged the regulators to “recognize that because of the significant risks and the flawed and undemocratic process used to evaluate the project, it cannot be allowed to go forward.” The letter signed by party leader John Horgan and environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert criticizes the NEB for presiding over a process that’s “fundamentally flawed and broken” and failed to answer key questions from intervenors, while allowing Kinder Morgan to conceal parts of its emergency spill response plans. The NDP MLAs say those factors, as well as the exclusion of climate change as an issue to be considered, have led to a widespread public view that the NEB is “a public charade used to create the illusion of impartial consideration of projects, when in fact, these pipeline hearings have predetermined outcomes.” The $5.4-billion project would nearly triple the Trans Mountain pipeline’s capacity to 890,000 barrels per day between northern Alberta and Burnaby, resulting in a seven-fold increase in oil tankers plying Vancouver harbour. The provincial government did not table written arguments ahead of a May deadline for intervenors but is expected to lay out its position during the hearings, which begin Aug. 24. The province has maintained it will not approve any new heavy oil pipeline that doesn’t meet its conditions for world-class spill response capability on land and at sea, addressing aboriginal rights and opportunities, and a fair share of benefits for B.C.

Federal leaders battle over jobs, pipelines, fighter jets ▶ FIRST ELECTION DEBATE FEATURED MOSTLY POLITE EXCHANGES TOM FLETCHER

Federal party leaders squared off in their first TV debate Thursday, a mostly polite two-hour exchange of views on the economy, environment and military action overseas. The environment segment was most focused on B.C., where Prime Minister Stephen Harper was pressed on stalled pipeline proposals to the West and East coasts as well as to the U.S. Harper said low world prices for energy make it the only sector that is under-performing, while the rest of the economy is growing. Green party leader Elizabeth May urged NDP leader Thomas Mulcair to oppose the twinning of the TransMountain oil pipeline from Alberta to its Burnaby terminal. Mulcair stuck to his position that he will await a federal environmental review. Harper noted that Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has opposed capital cost allowances for liquefied natural gas investors, weakening the case

for new gas pipelines. He said his government approved the Northern Gateway pipeline proposed to run to Kitimat with more than 200 conditions, because “that’s how the system works.” Trudeau and Harper sparred over greenhouse gas emission efforts, with Harper noting he moved ahead on curbing coal power plant emissions three years before U.S. President Barack Obama. Harper agreed that approval of the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to southern U.S. refineries will likely have to wait for Obama to leave office next year. May said Harper is nowhere near meeting his own commitment to curb emissions, as forest fires rage and extreme weather increases all year round. The debate moderator, Maclean’s magazine columnist Paul Wells, asked Harper if he owes Canadians an apology for appointing since-suspended senators Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau. Harper did not apologize, saying the provinces need a consensus to reform the senate through elections as he proposed, or to abolish it.

Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau, Green Party leader Elizabeth May, NDP leader Tom Mulcair and Conservative leader Stephen Harper take part in their first debate of the 2015 election campaign. MACLEANS.CA Mulcair and Trudeau oppose the current bombing missions against Islamic State terrorist targets in Syria and Iraq. Mulcair said he would support

military action sanctioned by the United Nations or under Canada’s NATO commitments. Harper said the deployment of six fighter jets with special

forces support is what Canada’s allies want to do, and Islamic State is a “nerve centre” for a global movement that has targeted Canada specifically.

The researchers were assessing drugs for eligibility under the province’s Pharmacare program. The health

ministry initially said a confidential database of B.C. patients who had taken various drugs had been misused, and some of the researchers appeared to have conflicts of interest. One fired contractor committed suicide, another is suing the government for wrongful dismissal and the remainder have been paid confidential settlements and reinstated. The government has since apologized for the way the contractors were treated, but reasons for the firings and why they were reversed have not been made clear. Chalke, a former public trustee appointed Ombudsperson this spring, said he would take the case if confidentiality agreements didn’t prevent him from reviewing documents and getting answers from those involved. Attorney General Suzanne Anton presented changes to the Ombudsperson Act to exempt the office from confidentiality agreements for this case, and the changes passed the legislature with unanimous consent. After an independent labour lawyer’s review was unable to compel testimony from senior health ministry officials, Premier Christy Clark rejected Opposition calls for an independent inquiry.

▼ NEW SFU PIPE BAND MEMBER IN SCOTLAND THIS WEEK The SFU Pipe Band is in Scotland this week, performing in Glasgow today (Wednesday), followed by the World Pipe Band Championships on Friday. Among the travelling pipers is new member Zephan Knichel. He recently moved to Surrey to be part of the band. Originally from Edmonton, Knichel began piping in 1999 as an Air Cadet with the 570 RCACS Pipe Band. The following year, he joined the Edmonton Boys Pipe Band and the Vimy Ridge Academy Pipe Band. In 2003 Knichel joined the Grade 1 Alberta Caledonia Pipe Band, of which he was an active member until 2013. Knichel also enjoyed stints in Grade 2 with the St. Thomas Alumni Pipe Band in 2011 and the Viscount Park Pipe Band in 2014. Last year, he graduated Summa Cum Laude from Monmouth College in Illinois, with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. Knichel received a full tuition talent scholarship for bagpiping to attend Monmouth, and upon graduation received the departmental award for top Business Administration Major. 2015 is Knichel’s first year with SFU. Others SFU Pipe Band members include Jack Lee, pipe sergeant, his sons Andrew and John, and Andrew Bonar. Bonar, who is battling brain cancer, is not travelling with the band for the first time in 19 years. He’ll be watching the competition via the BBC livestream.

For those who find running on treadmills and lifting weights mundane, Darren Bersuk has a way to turn your workout upside down — literally. With participants suspended from swings, rings, silks and poles, the classes offered at AcroFit Alternative Fitness are more like being in a circus than being at a gym. And rightfully so. The owner, Surrey resident Bersuk, is a former Canadian national gymnast and veteran Cirque du Soleil performer who has done shows for more than 100 million audience members across 45 countries. Now he is offering a taste of the acrobatic world through a unique fitness centre at 60 Avenue and 196 Street on the Surrey/Langley border. “I’ve always wanted to open a gym of some sort,” Bersuk said. “I never knew what kind of form that would take, so I’ve constantly been trying to figure out something that’s different. I didn’t want to build the same old gym that everyone else was opening up.” Visitors can see this philosophy when walking in. Long strands of grey silk hang down from nine-metre ceilings in the first studio, where participants will learn to climb and wrap around in. Two additional studios feature

equipment for pole fitness, aerial yoga, hoop, acro balance, ballet bar classes and personal training. “We’re trying to bring the acrobatic genres to the normal, everyday person so they can not dread going to the gym,” Bersuk said. “We want them to enjoy going to the gym. So not only does that take something that’s fun, but it also takes variety because we don’t want to be doing the same thing over and over again.” And if hanging upside down from a fabric swing sounds intimidating, don’t be afraid, Bersuk said. There are introductory sessions so people of all fitness levels can join. “I want to get the people that normally would never head to the gym to come here and enjoy getting fit and healthy,” he said. “You’re still getting a great workout, you’re still building muscle, you’re still losing fat and burning calories, but you’re going to have a smile on your face while you do it.” Although Bersuk has a lifetime of acrobatic accolades, including performing on Late Night with David Letterman, one of his biggest thrills is watching new people try out his passion. “It’s just seeing the reaction on their faces when they’re trying something

that is new and unusual for them and the enjoyment they get out of it,” he said. “When people walk in here, they see something different and you hope that the class can live up to that hype. “So far, everything has.” AcroFit is open for both morning and evening classes, and new clients receive their first class for free.

Delta edges White Rock for win in Montreal â&#x2013;ś HEAT TAKES GOLD AT U18 FAST PITCH CHAMPIONSHIP, WITH RENEGADES AND SURREY STORM HELPING RULE THE PODIUM RICK KUPCHUK

Three local softball teams dominated the competition at the U18 Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadian Fast Pitch Championship in Montreal, sweeping the podium positions at the weeklong 21-team tournament. The Delta Heat â&#x20AC;&#x2122;97 edged the White Rock Renegades â&#x20AC;&#x2122;97 Sunday afternoon in the championship game to win the gold medal, just hours after eliminating the Surrey Storm in a bronze medal game. The Renegades, unbeaten until Sunday, were awarded the silver medal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of good coaches and all the girls definitely work very hard at it because they love the game,â&#x20AC;? said Heat head coach Steve Couper when asked to explain the B.C. sweep of the medals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of them are going to the Western Canada Games in Fort McMurray next week, then some will leave for (university) a week later.â&#x20AC;? The Heat â&#x20AC;&#x2122;97 topped the White Rock Renegades 5-3 in an entertaining championship game that saw the lead change hands three times and the teams combine for 21 hits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I give the Heat a lot of credit, they played very well,â&#x20AC;? said Renegades head coach Mark Dunlop, while watching the Delta players collect their gold medals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But there were a couple of hits there that were Texas Leaguers, they were just dropping in. We just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the bounces today.â&#x20AC;? The Heat took a quick 1-0 lead when Taylor Woodward singled to lead off the game, scoring on a Renegades error. White Rock came back in the bottom half of the inning, scoring twice with two out. Chelsea Hotner scored on a Sophia Gray single, and one batter later, Abbey Fortinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hit to the Delta outfield was mishandled allowing River Johnson to score from second base. The 2-1 Renegades lead lasted until the

fourth inning. The Heat had four hits, including and RBI single by Rae Samuelson to tie the game. A Renegades error allowed Jordan-Britten Yung to put Delta up 3-2. The Heat committed a pair of infield errors in the fifth inning, the first allowing Taylor Uyeno to get on base, the second permitting her to score. Three more Delta hits in the sixth inning scored the winning and insurance runs. Britten-Yung got on base with a single to lead off the inning, then raced home on a single by Raelyn Radovich. One batter later, Radovich scored on a single by Woodward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls never give up, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a comeback team for years now,â&#x20AC;? said Couper, while the squad gathered for a team photo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of hitting power,

and we never give up, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the top of the seventh or the bottom of the seventh and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re down by nine runs or one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The funnest part of softball is to hit the ball, and we did that well.â&#x20AC;? The Renegades handed the Heat their lone loss Saturday night, the 2-0 win sending White Rock directly to Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship game. Each team had five hits, with the Renegades getting three of theirs in the bottom of the first inning to score the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only two runs. An RBI single by Johnson and a sacrifice fly by Abbey Fortin that scored Shaelyn Ogilvie gave the Renegades all the offence they needed. Wright pitched a shutout with five strikeouts, limiting the Heat to five singles and a walk. The Storm were overwhelmed by the Heat in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semifinal. They were outhit 15-1 over five innings, bowing out of the tournament with an 8-0 loss. Michaela Moore led the Heat with three

hits and four RBIs, with Maria Palmegiani, Lauren Watson, Britten-Yung, Samuelson and Radovich adding two hits each. Goddard got the win, allowing one hit and a walk while striking out four Storm batters. The Storm clinched a medal with a 2-0 win Sunday morning over the Brampton Blazers Sunday morning. Jessica Fasolino threw

a complete-game shutout that saw her strike out eight Blazers. Brampton had just three singles off Fasolino, who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up a walk. The Storm broke a scoreless tie in the fifth. Jillian Marshall dropped a ball over the Brampton second baseman to get on base, and was replaced by pinch-runner Noelle Johnson. Demi Rose

then singled to centre field, allowing Johnson to race home from second base for the winning run. Surrey added to the lead in the sixth. Hailey Kjaer got on base on a fielding error, eventually scoring on a single to shallow right field by Shelby Kwak. They worked hard all year, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think a lot of people gave them a chance (to medal). I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure about a medal. But we got a feel for what they can do, and it was a goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re real pleased. It worked out well and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very happy with them.â&#x20AC;?

Storm roll to national U14 title The Surrey Storm kept their undefeated streak intact last weekend, en route to a national U14 fastpitch title.Â The Surrey Storm 2001A team captured the Canadian championship Sunday, after a 2-1 extra-innings win over Delta Heat 2001. The Storm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who won a provincial title last

month, without losing a game â&#x20AC;&#x201C; stayed perfect at nationals, which were held in Victoria Aug. 5-9. Surrey rolled through the round-robin portion of the tournament with six straight victories, then tallied playoff victories over Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Waterloo Ghosts, 10-5, and the host Victoria Devils, 7-0, before squaring off against Delta in the final.Â In the title game, Surrey took a slim 1-0 lead into the seventh inning, but the Heat tied the game on a Storm error, sending the game to extra innings.Â In the ninth, Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rachel Drewitt led off with a single, and then, with two outs, a single from teammate Kianna Jones scored Drewitt to win the game.Â Storm head coach Mark Riske said the dramatic victory was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;real character builderâ&#x20AC;? for his group, which throughout the season was used to winning games by large margins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a great way to end a pretty magical year for us,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really thrilled.â&#x20AC;?
