ECOLOGICALLY SENSITIVE AREA EYED FOR DEVELOPMENT ▶ SOUTH CAMPBELL HEIGHTS, HOME TO 13 AT-RISK SPECIES, IS BEING CONSIDERED FOR A BUSINESS OR INDUSTRIAL PARK KEVIN DIAKIW

A pristine area in South Surrey, teeming with fish and at-risk species of wildlife, is being examined for development potential as a future business park. South Campbell Heights, near 16 Avenue and 192 Street, is more than half the size of Vancouver’s Stanley Park and is abundant with salmon, 100-year-old trees, an immense aquifer and many animals, including 13 species considered at risk. The 245-hectare (600-acre) expanse of land is roughly bordered by 8 Avenue to the south, 20 Avenue to the north, 188 Street to the west and the Langley border (196 Street) to the east. It has been identified in several City of Surrey documents as an ecologically sensitive area, but is now being eyed for a business park. The particularly sensitive area south of 16 Avenue is called a “Special Study Area” which is defined as “an area where future land planning is projected, potentially leading to land use changes.” An environmental study commissioned by the city this year indicates the area is home to the Brookswood Aquifer which is “highly vulnerable to contamination.” The study notes the aquifer is “nearing or at (development) capacity” to provide domestic water “without Deb Jack decreasing the water table.” The study indicates the area includes tree stands between 50 and 100 years old, which “dominate the forested landscape.” Some of those trees are 100 centimetres (more than three feet) in diameter at chest height. The study also notes there are 13 at-risk wildlife species identified in the area, including the Pacific water shrew, Trowbridge’s shrew and a two species of bat. The expanse of land is just south of the Campbell Heights Business Park, which began development in 2003. The David Suzuki Foundation described that development as one of the worst continued on page 4

Cancer society ditches free rides

▼ DROP IN DONATIONS AND NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS BLAMED FOR END OF PROGRAM THAT GOT PATIENTS TO AND FROM TREATMENT JEFF NAGEL

The Canadian Cancer Society will stop operating its Volunteer Driver Program that for years has given patients free rides to and from chemotherapy and radiation treatment in many B.C. communities. The society says declines in donations and volunteers have forced the end of the service, which cost $400,000 a year. “Unfortunately, we’ve had to make the really difficult decision to close the program effective Oct. 6,” said Sandra Krueckl, vice-president of cancer control for the Canadian Cancer Society’s B.C. and Yukon division. “Donor dollars have been shrinking in recent years,” she said, adding the cancer society has felt the same stresses as many other charities, including a slide in how many hours volunteers are now willing to commit out of their increasingly busy lives. “As our current volunteers are retiring out of their current volunteer roles, we are not seeing the same number of volunteers coming up behind them.” About 80 clients per month used the program, which was staffed by roughly 380 volunteers around B.C. Drivers used their own vehicles and were reimbursed 41 cents per kilomeSandra Krueckl tre for gas and wear and tear. Other transportation alternatives exist in most communities, Krueckl said, adding demand for rides had been declining. She stressed that the Freemasons Cancer Car Program, a separate ride service that the cancer society is a partner in, is unaffected and will continue to operate. The society asked the province, which already contributes to the operations of its cancer lodges, to provide more funding to support the ride program, but was declined. “While they certainly were sympathetic to our situation and understood our declining revenue situation and challenges with supporting this program in the future, they have competing priorities,” Krueckl said. The loss of the cancer society program will be felt mainly in some parts of Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island, she added. The cancer society is advising clients on what other ride services may be available in each area. They can call 1-888-939-3333.

Sedins shoot to help Surrey students succeed ▼ CANUCK BROTHERS LAUNCH CLUBHOUSE 36, AN OUT-OF-SCHOOL PROGRAM TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO INNER-CITY CHILDREN SHEILA REYNOLDS

Vulnerable kids in Surrey are scoring big after a visit from a couple of Vancouver Canucks on Monday afternoon. Twins Henrik and Daniel Sedin were at Holly Elementary to help officially launch Clubhouse 36, a program that provides inner-city students aged six to 12 with after-school and school break activities they might not normally be able to access. The Sedin Family Foundation, Surrey School District and YMCA of Greater Vancouver launched the program, with support from founding sponsors Westland Insurance, the Robert L. Conconi Foundation, Bosa Properties Foundation, as well as BMO and Canucks for Kids Fund. Clubhouse 36 was piloted at Holly, as well as two other local elementary schools – Georges Vanier and Lena Shaw – in July. More than 170 children at those schools had the chance to try archery, fishing, robot-building and other activities during summer vacation. Programming at the Surrey schools will continue to be offered to 80 children two days per week after school, and full-day activities will be available during spring and summer breaks to as many as 150 kids. Breakfast and lunch is also provided. The goal is to “build the confidence and self-esteem of atrisk and vulnerable students through social, emotional, life, sport, art, leadership and academic learning in a structured

out-of-school environment.” Daniel Sedin said it’s important that classroom learning is enriched with interesting, fun and safe activities outside of school. “For young children … school is the centre of their daily activity. Offering Clubhouse 36 in partnership with the YMCA in community schools makes it as accessible as possible for students and their families.” Clubhouse 36 will be co-staffed by Surrey Schools and the YMCA, and volunteers from local high schools will also provide support. Students are identified to participate by school staff and take part in programs free of charge. Henrik said he and his brother had the opportunity to take part in after-school activities growing up and wanted to help provide those experiences to other children. “The four of us all grew up in a small town in Sweden and community was really important to our families,” he said referring to he and his brother and their wives. “It is inspiring for us to see how Clubhouse 36 is already impacting the lives of students and their families in the Surrey community.” The hope is that Clubhouse 36 can eventually be expanded to other schools. Currently, 36 of Surrey’s 120 public schools are designated inner city, based on factors such as low average income, single parent and refugee families and number of ▶ “It is inspiring children in government for us to see how care.

examples of salmon habitat destruction in the province. The large area south of 16 Avenue includes the Little Campbell River, which is home to several varieties of salmonids. Surrey staff say the area is being considered for an expansion of the business park or industrial uses. Deb Jack, president of the Surrey Environmental Partners (SEP), said Monday her group is deeply troubled by the plan to pave the way for development in South Campbell Heights. “We are very concerned and have been concerned from the outset,” Jack told The Leader. At one time, SEP recommended to council the city create “living legacy parks” in Surrey. Campbell Heights was the only

location specified by the environmental watchdog. Those concerned about the streams are particularly unnerved by the development plan. Roy Strang, with the Little Campbell River Watershed Society, said he had no idea a Local Area Plan for the South Campbell was in the works. He urges the city to go back to the basics and examine why the area needs to be considered for construction of any kind. “I’m skeptical,” Strang said. “They better ask themselves, do they have to develop? What is the purpose of development? Just to broaden their tax base?” Mayor Linda Hepner said Monday some areas of the plan need to be protected, while others don’t have huge environmental values. One area in the lands, near

176 Street, she said is an old gravel pit, and is probably ripe for development. “But in discussion with the Little Campbell River folk, there are some concerns about areas in there you would never touch, and I expect that will be what happens within the Local Area Plan analysis,” Hepner said. “But there are some areas that I think will prove valuable for us to achieve a couple of other elements,” Hepner said, adding that would likely take the form of industrial development. A report was expected to be presented to city council at a meeting Monday night (after the Leader press deadline). From there, city staff would begin taking the plan to the public through several consultation sessions. That process is expected to be completed by spring of 2017.

Federal parties are racing to pledge support for rapid transit, particularly in seat-rich Surrey, where the city council continues to push its plan for light rail lines. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau said Thursday the Surrey lines, Vancouver’s Broadway subway and more SeaBus service would likely get federal contributions from an extra $20 billion his party is pledging for public transit over 10 years. Prime Minister Stephen Harper had been expected to unveil Conservative commitments for transit a week earlier at a campaign event in Surrey, alongside former mayor-turned-Tory candidate Dianne Watts, until the announcement was bumped by the Syrian refugee crisis. But support for transit from Ottawa has never been a big question mark for Metro Vancouver mayors. They’ve assumed one-third federal contributions for the rapid transit projects will come regardless of which party wins. Unless a federal leader offers more than one third – and none has so far – the big roadblock to new transit lines will remain this summer’s referendum defeat by Metro voters of a small sales tax hike to cover the region’s one-third share of transit expansion. Surrey is still aiming to advance its $2.1-billion light rail project as a P3. But it has yet to produce a business case. And it remains unclear how the city’s taxpayers would eventually repay costs financed by a private partner. Nor is there any sign of a new deal afoot between the mayors and the province to deliver an additional TransLink tax source and get the new lines get built as part of a coordinated regional

transit plan. The campaign promises stacking up for the Vancouver and Surrey lines are likely to remain vague, leaving many questions unanswered after Oct. 19. One is whether the Surrey project will definitely be ground-level light rail instead of elevated SkyTrain. SkyTrain, at least down Fraser Highway, would allow a faster, seamless ride without

transfer to the rest of the system for passengers boarding in Langley and Cloverdale. It would be more costly up front, however, and is resisted by Surrey politicians who say light rail better connects residents to local destinations. Also unclear is the timing of federal grants – could that delay or help accelerate construction? Then there’s the

question of where federal grants might actually flow. To TransLink, possibly conditional on a broader regional transit solution? Or to Surrey and Vancouver to cover just their Plan B schemes? The devil will be in the details. For now, upbeat transit funding promises offer no surprises and no breakthrough to the impasse left by the failed referendum.

▼ WAR ON DRUGS IS A COSTLY ONE WHERE NO ONE WINS Re: “High time to talk about pot, ” Letters, The Leader, Sept. 2. The Huffington Post reports that in Canada, mandatory minimum sentences range from six months to three years, depending on the severity of the offence. Under the law passed in 2012, someone who grows six plants “for the purpose of trafficking” is automatically sentenced to six months in jail. In the same year the mandatory minimums were introduced here, a U.S. panel of former and current police officials warned the Conservative government about the consequences of launching a war on drugs. “These policies have bankrupted state budgets as limited tax dollars pay to imprison non-violent drug offenders at record rates instead of programs that can actually improve community safety,” they wrote in a letter. So who’s not ready to be prime minister and who’s been there way too long? The Tories cut and slash federal programs and services that will contribute to the death of Canadian citizens (Coast Guard, Veterans Affairs, etc.) and hide huge health care cuts in an omnibus bill, yet are willing to spend (b)millions on a marijuana war they can’t win, even though 65 per cent of Canada’s voting-age population disagrees.

Fraser River important, too

Georges Ducharme, Surrey

▼ IF A BRIDGE IN QUEBEC RECEIVES FEDERAL FUNDS, IT SHOULD ALSO BE TOLLED The “Quebec First Party” (Liberals), the “Quebec First Since 2011 Party” (NDP), and the “Quebec Only Party” (The Bloc) all believe that the new Champlain Bridge in Montreal should not be tolled but rather be paid for by all Canadians. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has even said that it is the most important bridge in Canada. He says it shouldn’t be tolled because it goes over an international waterway. I may not know much about geography, but Google maps shows the bridge starting and ending within Quebec, some 50 kilometres

from the U.S. border. What makes the St. Lawrence River more important than the Fraser River and what does that have to do with how a bridge is paid for? Why do I have to pay directly for the two bridges in my neighbourhood that I use (Port Mann and Golden Ears) and also help pay for a bridge in Montreal that I likely will never use? The Lions Gate bridge goes over an international waterway as well but it was funded without federal help. Justin Trudeau and Mulcair as national leaders should better explain the reason for this apparent inequity. Only Gilles Duceppe need not explain; we already know he works exclusively for Quebec.

VIEWPOINT

Protest stunts distract from real efforts BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

“I am tired of managing poverty.” The words of Lake Babine Nation Chief Wilf Adam were quoted by both Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad and Premier Christy Clark at their second annual meeting with aboriginal leaders around the province. In her closing remarks, Clark repeated her aim to continue economic development and resource revenue sharing that have dominated the government’s approach in recent years. “Let’s eliminate poverty in First Nations communities,” she said, adding “the only way we can fight poverty is to grow the economy.” Not surprisingly, Clark’s chosen example was the potential of liquefied natural gas development for the Haisla Nation near Kitimat. That and similar proposals require new gas pipelines. And as is customary in B.C., what people most often hear about are threats and wild claims regarding protests such as the Unist’ot’en camp near Smithers, set up to block a gas pipeline. There was a round of this in late August, after Grand Chief Stewart Phillip

of the militant Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs claimed hundreds of RCMP officers were about to descend on the camp. This echoed previous false claims made by self-styled anarchists such as Victoria’s Zoe Blunt, who has been organizing outside support for the camp for the last couple of years. Media jumped at the prospect of another Gustafson Lake-style confrontation. This prompted an unusual statement from Cpl. Janelle Shoihet of the North District RCMP. “To clarify, the B.C. RCMP has no intention of ‘taking down the camp’ set up by the Unist’ot’en,” she said, emphasizing that police are not taking sides or acting as security for pipeline exploration crews being harassed by protesters, who have token support from a couple of dissident members of a Wet’suwet’en clan. Four elected chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en issued their own statement, to correct media coverage that represents the Unist’ot’en as speaking for their communities. “Our Nations support responsible resource development as a way to

bring First Nations out of poverty and bring opportunities for our young people,” said Burns Lake Band Chief Dan George. Wet’suwet’en First Nation Chief Karen Ogen said job and benefit agreements for the Coastal GasLink pipeline were entered into after careful consideration, and she objected to protests from outsiders, some from outside the country. “Sustainability means standing on our own two feet, providing our young people with good paying jobs, and reducing the 40 to 60 per cent unemployment we now experience,” Ogen said. Haisla Nation Chief Councillor Ellis Ross has no time for crude oil projects, but he has been working towards gas-related development as long as anyone. Ross spoke out in support of the elected Wet’suwet’en chiefs in their efforts to resolve the dispute with Unist’ot’en members. “Opposition is the easiest job in the

world,” he said. “What is difficult is finding an answer when a First Nations mother has concerns about her child’s future. “Politicians are quick to shout out sound bites and get into camera shots, but where are the cameras when another First Nations member takes their own life or when they pass away from highway/alcohol related deaths?” Ross noted that recent court decisions have put B.C. aboriginal leaders in the best position they have ever had, with governments and development project proponents coming to them “with inclusion in mind” after decades of resource development that has passed them by. You wouldn’t know it most days, but First Nations along both the Coastal GasLink and Pacific Trails gas pipelines have agreed to them. More aboriginal leaders are getting tired of managing poverty, and misguided protesters. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

‘I can’t smile the way I used to,’ mom tells son’s killer SHEILA REYNOLDS

“Look up, Bains,” she said after taking the stand in B.C. Supreme Court. Simrit Saran wanted her brother’s killer to see her face as she tried to express how his murder has affected her life and that of her family. Simrit was delivering her victim impact statement at the sentencing hearing for Sarbjit Bains, 33, who admitted in April to killing 29-year-old Amritpal Saran in Surrey in February 2013, and two women – Karen Nabors and Jill Lyons – in New Westminster six months later. Simrit asked Bains to imagine having to look at a mother’s eyes every day, knowing her eldest son had been killed. “I will never forgive you,” Simrit told Bains. Moments earlier, Amritpal’s mother Jatinder also faced Bains to express the unbearable loss of losing a child. The family placed framed photos of Amrit in front of Bains, who was seated in the prisoner’s box. Jatinder said after the murder her world was turned upside down and she’d stare at her son’s hockey jersey collection, knowing he would never wear them again. “I can’t smile the way I used to. I can’t feel the way I used to,” Jatinder said through tears. “Part of me is gone without my Amrit. My house was warm until you took my son away.” Amritpal Saran’s charred body was found two-and-a-half years ago on a secluded section of Surrey’s Colebrook Road. The court heard that Saran, Bains and his girlfriend Evelina Urbaniak were drinking and doing cocaine on the night Saran was killed. At some point, Urbaniak went to bed. Bains and Saran kept partying, but when Bains left the room

briefly, he said he returned to find Saran naked in Urbaniak’s bedroom. It was then, the court heard, that Bains said “something just snapped.” He put a fatal choke hold around Saran’s neck. While Urbaniak wanted to call police, Bains did not and instead, the pair purchased plastic containers and gasoline and disposed of Saran’s body by the roadside. A woman teaching her grandson to drive discovered the burned corpse and called

police. It was nearly a year before Bains and Urbaniak were arrested. At that time, Bains was also charged in the August 2013 deaths of Lyons, 45, and Nabors, 48. The women, both moms, were neighbours in the same apartment complex and were killed 13 days apart. The court heard that Bains intended to rob the women, who advertised as escorts, and ended up choking them both to death. Sheri Hickman adopted Lyons in 1968, and it was “love at first sight,” she said in a statement read in court. She remembered the day her husband told her about her daughter’s death. “He said ‘it’s Jill’ and I knew she was gone,” recalled Hickman, noting her daughter became addicted to drugs following surgery, but she was hoping to turn her life around. “That day all hope

was take away from me... all belief in the goodness of the human race.” Nabors’ youngest son said not a day goes by he doesn’t think of his mom. “It hurts so much that she is gone. You have no idea,” he said. “Now I am lost.” Wearing a T-shirt reading “Justice for Karen Nabors,” Katrina Cotten expressed her sadness and anger. Having discovered Nabors’ body, she said she can’t erase the horrific image from her mind. “I hope that in time I am able to remember the good times we had,” she said, describing Nabors as the life of the party who was selfless and loved everyone around her. “This is always painful,” she said, looking directly at Bains. Bains pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of Saran. Lawyers are recommending a 10-year sentence for that killing. He also pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder for Nabors’ and Lyons’ deaths. Second-degree murder carries a mandatory life sentence and both defence and Crown are suggesting parole eligibility set at 18 years. Justice Miriam Maisonville will decide whether those sentences are to be served concurrently or consecutively. She will deliver her decision Sept. 30. Bains, with long dark hair and wearing a red prison-issue jumpsuit, hung his head for most of the day-long hearing, but read an apology later Thursday afternoon. “I can’t ask you to forgive me because I can’t forgive myself and I sure as hell don’t deserve it,” he said. “I cut these lives short and robbed you of your loved ones. What I did was horrible and I cannot fix it.” He also apologized to his own family for the pain and shame he’s caused them. Urbaniak pleaded guilty to interfering with a dead body earlier this year in con-

There’s big value in your free library card ▶ SURREY LIBRARIES’ REPORT SHOWS PRINT MATERIALS STILL REIGN

BLACK PRESS

Surrey Libraries’ fourth-annual Literacy Day Report reveals that the average cardholder realizes more than $600 in value with

their free library card. The information is part of new research presented in the report which demonstrates the benefits of the library in the community.

Key facts in the 2015 Literacy Day Report include: • The total value of benefit provided by Surrey Libraries to the community in 2014 was about $111.4

million; • On average, Surrey Libraries cardholders realized a benefit of $610 each; • An average cardholder visits the library 43 times and borrows 24 items; • Traditional print items like books and magazines are still the number one material accessed by cardholders at the library; • On average, Surrey residents spend 113,500 hours per week using library resources and facilities. “These numbers are a sign of the important place of libraries in Surrey and the role they play in providing for so many of our society’s needs,” said Surrey Libraries chief librarian Melanie Houlden. “With a wide range of reading

materials in many languages... programs for kids and adults... and free Wi-Fi and access to computers, it’s no surprise that the value of a Surrey Libraries card has been calculated at $610.” Surrey Libraries board chair Linda Stromberg said the bulk of the library’s funding – about 95 per cent – comes from public sources, totalling $16 million dollars in the past year.

“I am, therefore, particularly happy to see that for every dollar in public funding Surrey Libraries receives, our branches provide $7 in value to patrons,” she said. The 2015 Literacy Day report was launched at the City Centre branch last Tuesday, where Surrey Board of Trade CEO Anita Huberman also announced a special breakfast focusing on literacy and the business community on Sept. 16 at the Eaglequest Golf Course. Surrey Libraries also announced that it had met and surpassed its 2014 Get Carded campaign goal of 20,000 new cardholders, with 21,112 new members joining Surrey Libraries in the past year.

Motorists are invited to help fuel Surrey school projects by gassing up at Chevron next month. Through October, for every 30 or more litres of fuel purchased, Chevron will contribute $1 (up to $565,000) towards Fuel Your School, a program that helps fund classroom projects in Surrey, Burnaby, Coquitlam, North Vancouver and West Vancouver. A collaboration between Chevron and MyClassNeeds Foundation – a Toronto-based charity – Fuel Your School aims to support classroom projects through a crowdfunding website. Teachers in the participating districts can submit requests for funds online. Once the funds are raised, MyClassNeeds purchases and co-ordinates delivery. Last year, Fuel Your School enabled South Surrey teacher Nicola

Erasmus to obtain Cubelets Robot Blocks for her Bayridge Elementary kindergarten class. The blocks were “a great way to introduce (the students) to learning about technology and engineering,” she said. At Surrey’s Cambridge Elementary, Shelagh Lim was able to acquire four Polaroid Cube cameras and an iPad which her students used to make movies. Since inception, Fuel Your School has raised $765,000 for public schools, with a focus on projects categorized under STEM – science, technology, engineering and math.

Planning for LIVINGSTONE Denture Clinic a pipeline emergency Are your dentures...

▶ U.S. EXPERT IN SURREY TO DISCUSS DAMAGE MITIGATION KEVIN DIAKIW

Somewhere in North Surrey, a contractor errantly strikes an underground pipeline. It causes a spill of something, but exactly what is unknown. The accident, which should have been caught on SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) a high-tech control centre for transmission pipelines, wasn’t detected. A recent study authored by Charles Jennings, U.S. public policy expert indicates the public spots leaks well before it’s picked up by SCADA. Jennings was expected to speak at Surrey City Hall Sept. 15 (after The Leader’s press time) to give a seminar titled Pipeline Emergencies: Planning to Bridge the Communications Gap. Timeliness of spill response is “the most important step in incident management,” Jennings writes in the 2014 report to the

U.S. Transportation Research Board. A worker would likely report a spill to his boss, who may call another superior before emergency crews are called. The clock is ticking. Surrey Fire crews arrive, locate the general area of the leak, but can’t say for certain what it is. Several pipelines exist in some areas, and some of them can carry different hazardous materials at different times. Knowing what is spilling can mean the difference in how the leak is attacked, whether Hazmat teams are required, and whether the nearby public should be evacuated. SCADA needs to be informed to shut down valves, however, even when they are, a leak is likely to continue, Jennings writes. The secret to a successful response is closing the communications gaps that exist, he says. More information is available at www.ufv. ca/researchpipeline. Jennings’ full report to the U.S. Transportation Research Board can be found here: http://bit.ly/1KOMr0F

Shots fired in Newton ▶ NO ONE HURT WHEN SHOTS FIRED AT STOPPED VEHICLE KEVIN DIAKIW

Shots rang out at about suppertime in Newton on Saturday when a vehicle pulled up beside another and opened fire. At 6:35 p.m. on Sept. 12, Surrey RCMP received several reports of gunfire in the 6800-block of 128 Street. Police then received a call from a man who said he was driving on 128 Street at about 68 Avenue when another vehicle pulled up and started shooting at his car. He drove a short distance and reported it. The victim is providing limited information. Police do not believe it was a random act, but could not say whether it is related to a string of shootings this spring between two rival drug-dealing groups. Anyone with information about the Saturday shooting is asked to call 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

A judge has ruled the Insurance Corporation of B.C. (ICBC) must replace the vehicle of a man who crashed into a fast-food restaurant seven years ago. According to a Sept. 3 B.C. Supreme Court decision, Mohammed Yusuf Venkataya, now 51, was visiting with friends on Oct. 12, 2008. The group of six talked, ate, watched TV and drank kava. Kava is a South Pacific plant and a tealike drink is made from the root of the plant. It is Fijiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national drink and is often

consumed at celebrations or ceremonies, though its use is not regulated in Canada, according to the court document. Venkataya testified he was not feeling well the evening of the get-together and had a few bowls of fish soup, one bowl of kava and a cup of tea. He said he and friends had consumed kava for several decades and that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d normally have it one or twice a month. While driving home from his friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house after the get-together, Venkataya â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a devout Muslim who does not smoke, drink or use any drugs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was about to turn right onto Scott Road from 88 Avenue. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the last thing the driver remembered before being handcuffed and placed on the ground outside a Taco Time restaurant, where his vehicle had crashed into a building. Two police officers were in the area and

witnessed Venkatayaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collision. They said they saw the driver hit a meridian and saw the tires spinning as the engine accelerated on the temporarily stuck SUV. They then saw the car break free, whiz by them, hitting several poles, signs, trees, a light standard and fire hydrant before slamming into the restaurant. The driver suffered minor injuries, but vomited several times after the crash. The car was severely damaged. The court heard Venkataya had a blood alcohol reading of zero and readily admitted to drinking kava, which HealthLinkBC describes as having a calming effect, â&#x20AC;&#x153;producing brain wave changes similar to changes that occur with calming medicines such as diazepam (Valium, for example).â&#x20AC;? At trial, ICBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyers argued Venkataya was dishonest about how much kava

he had consumed. But Justice Peter Voith deemed Venkataya an â&#x20AC;&#x153;unusually directâ&#x20AC;? witness and believed his testimony. ICBC also argued that kava is an intoxicating substance that would have placed Venkataya under the influence at the wheel. There was also suggestion that the driver having taken Benadryl the same day, either alone or in combination, could have rendered him impaired. The judge, however, said ICBC failed to prove Venkataya was incapable of driving as a result of consuming a drug or intoxicating substance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole of the evidence does not, on a balance of probabilities, satisfy that burden,â&#x20AC;? Voith said in his written decision. ICBC was ordered to pay Venkataya the cost to replace his 2006 Nissan Armada, plus court costs.

A suspect was arrested last week after a man was stabbed on a bus near the King George SkyTrain Station on Thursday. Surrey RCMP responded to a call for help at 2:30 p.m. on Sept. 12 after reports of a violent altercation on a bus at 100 Avenue and King George Boulevard. When they arrived, Mounties found a victim suffering from stab wounds. He was taken to hospital with serious, but non-life threatening injuries. A suspect was found nearby and arrested. He was taken to hospital with minor injuries. The investigation is in the early stages and it is still not clear if the parties knew each other or what the altercation was about. Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800222-TIPS or www.solvecrime.ca

A coroners inquest is being held to look into the death of a man after he was transported to hospital by transit police last year. On July 31, 2014, Ernest Shawn Moosomin, 41, was taken into custody by the South Coast B.C. Transportation Authority Police Service (transit police) on a bus near the Surrey Central SkyTrain Station. He was taken to Surrey Memorial Hospital for examination, but when they arrived there, Moosomin was found to be in medical distress. He died shortly after. An inquest was initial-

ly scheduled for Sept. 14 , but has been moved forward to Nov. 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Presiding Coroner Dr. D. Kelly Barnard and a jury will hear evidence from witnesses under oath to determine the facts surrounding this death,â&#x20AC;? the B.C. Coroners Service said in a release last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The jury will have the opportunity to make recommendations aimed at preventing deaths under similar circumstances.â&#x20AC;? The inquest is open to the public and will be held at the Burnaby Coroners Court, Floor 20, Metro Tower II, Metrotown, 4720 Kingsway, Burnaby.

A man accused of running down two joggers in South Surrey nearly three years ago is no longer going to trial on the charges. But exactly what is happening with the case against Surrey resident Barry Russell Christiansen is unclear. Criminal Justice Branch spokesman Neil MacKenzie confirmed last Wednesday that Christiansen’s trial – which had been scheduled for nine days and set to get underway on Sept. 14 – has been adjourned “on the expectation that the accused will be disposing of the matter other than by way of a trial.” Christiansen last appeared in

prosecutor David Simpkin explained last week of the evolution of charges against Donald James Chad Jr. to manslaughter from murder. Chad was facing trial for murder in B.C. Supreme Court in connection with Bennett’s November 2013 death. Bennett, 44, was pronounced dead in hospital following a latenight incident that police described as a “targeted home invasion” at a house in the 2600-block of King George Boulevard. Chad and co-accused Mathieu Rene Bernard were arrested two weeks later; Bernard was charged with manslaughter. Both men were also charged with “where a firearm is used in the commission.” Simpkin said the charges against Bernard were stayed “a couple months ago.” Chad, who has been in custody since his arrest, pleaded guilty to manslaughter using a firearm – along with a second firearm offence – on Aug. 21. As a result of the plea, the murder charge against Chad was stayed in B.C. Supreme Court. Simpkin said both police and Bennett’s family were involved in the decision, which he described as “the right thing to do.” Sentencing submissions are to be heard Nov. 10 in Surrey Provincial Court.

Pipeline hearings on hold after appointment who are also intervenors. The NEB concluded the agreements or negotiations toward them don’t undermine its credibility and authority, and are consistent with the consultation requirements placed on the company. Trans Mountain officials had in part argued the NEB had no jurisdiction over

▶ NEW NEB DIRECTOR WORKED FOR KINDER MORGAN JEFF NAGEL

Oral hearings that were supposed to begin last week in Burnaby into Kinder Morgan’s oil pipeline expansion plan are on hold in the wake of the appointment of one of the company’s consultants to the National Energy Board (NEB). Steven Kelly was named this summer to a seven-year NEB term, beginning in October. He won’t sit on the three-member NEB panel considering the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline twinning, but his appointment has drawn fresh accusations that the process is unfair to project critics. The NEB has struck the evidence provided by Kelly from the record – citing concerns about the integrity of the process – and Kinder Morgan is having new consultants review and re-file those reports before the NEB lays out a revised schedule for the review. The City of Burnaby is now arguing that doesn’t go far enough – it says a whole new review panel must be constituted to review

Burnaby is also demanding draft conditions for the project that were released last month be withdrawn and reconsidered. Kelly’s work had been focused on the economic justification for the new pipeline. Kinder Morgan estimated the revised evidence will be resubmitted by Sept. 25 and it wants the NEB to expedite the conclusion of the review. “Obviously restarting the regulatory process is not a viable option for us,” Trans Mountain spokesperson Lisa Clement said. The $5.4-billion pipeline project would nearly triple Trans Mountain’s capacity and result in a seven-fold increase in

tankers carrying oil out through Burrard Inlet.

Deal-making on benefits okay, NEB rules Meanwhile, the NEB has ruled against another intervener that had argued Kinder Morgan should stop offering municipalities and universities lucrative community benefit deals in advance of the hearings. The group WaterWealth had objected to the offers of benefit agreements – which some critics have called “bribes” to mute criticism at the hearings – arguing they erode trust in the NEB and cast doubt on the evidence of beneficiaries

Kinder Morgan has benefit deals worth $5 million with 18 municipalities along the pipeline route from Hope to northern Alberta, and has had talks with others, including Abbotsford, Langley Township and Surrey. All the contribution agreements are subject to approval of the project.

Winter’s on its way.

A tanker loads from the terminal of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline in North Burnaby. BLACK PRESS FILE the project, effectively rebooting the process. “Mr. Kelly’s evidence has tainted this entire hearing, and the process must begin again to erase the perception of bias towards Trans Mountain,” wrote Greg McDade, lawyer for the municipality. The NEB had begun advertising for permanent board members in January, so McDade argues Kelly’s appointment had been in the works for months, with both he and the NEB aware of his application as he continued to work on evidence in support of the project. “Replacing (Kelly’s) evidence at the eleventh hour in no way legitimizes this hearing process.”

the company’s dealings with third parties. Kinder Morgan struck a deal in June to contribute $300,000 over 20 years to Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Earlier in the spring, Chilliwack council voted to defer an $800,000 offer for a pedestrian walkway until the project review ends.

Eagles drop a pair on opening weekend NICK GREENIZAN

Despite losing both games of a BC Hockey League opening-weekend homestand, the Surrey Eagles remain a confident – and

competent – bunch. So says head coach Blaine Neufeld, who chalked up his team’s losses – 6-3 to the Langley Rivermen Friday night at South Surrey Arena and

3-1 to the Coquitlam Express Sunday afternoon – to early-season jitters and more than a little bad luck around the net. On Friday, Surrey came out of the gate

flat, and trailed their Langley rivals 4-0 after 20 minutes of play, and though they outscored their opposition 3-2 over the final two frames, the first-period hole

▶ JUNIOR A HOCKEY TEAM LOSES AT HOME TO LANGLEY RIVERMEN, COQUITLAM EXPRESS

Eagles scored just once despite 36 shots on Express goaltender Braden Krogfoss, and went 0-for-6 on the power play. “I thought that we were alright. Our first period (Friday), maybe we were a little bit nervous, and we came out flat – we were a little sluggish out of the gate both games,” said Neufeld. “We would’ve liked the two points, and big picture, when you look at what happened (with last year’s struggles), we are anxious for a win, but I think there is a lot to build off of.” In Friday’s game, Rivermen forward Ben Butcher – who played 11 games for the Eagles last season before being dealt to Langley – scored the first two goals of the game, and Justin Szeto and Matthew Graham also scored before the first intermission. Neither team scored in the second period, and Surrey opened the third with two quick goals – Paul McAvoy scored on the power play just 35 seconds into the period, and Darren Hards scored his first BCHL goal just three minutes later. Surrey’s third goal of the contest also came with the man-advantage, with Darius Davidson – one of just eight players returning from last year’s team – potting his first of the year. On Sunday, Surrey trailed 2-0 after the first period, with the team’s only goal coming midway through the third, when Gage Mackie beat Krogfoss with a five-hole shot. Goals were hard to come by in both games, and Neufeld knows his club will need to pick up the offensive slack should they want to get into the win column soon. “We certainly out chanced them (Sunday), we hit four or five posts, but we need to find ways to score,” he said. “On the power play, we scored twice but obviously didn’t get any on Friday, and the power play, that’s when you really need to bear down the most.” While Neufeld admitted that no one player stood out continued on page 16

The Eagles face a tough test this week in the hunt for their first win – they host the Penticton Vees Friday night at South Surrey Arena. “We’ve got a tough test, for sure, but we’re not scared of those guys,” Neufeld said. “If we can start putting a few more pucks in the net, we can win that hockey game.”

A trio of famous Toronto Blue Jays alumni are set to hit the field in Surrey next week as part of the first-ever White Rock Baseball Day. The event, set for Sunday, Sept. 20, will include a private clinic for local youth baseball players, and will be led by former Jays’ stars Roberto Alomar, Duane Ward and Jesse Barfield. The Baseball Day event is being hosted in conjunction with the Jays Care Foundation, the charitable arm of the Toronto Blue Jays baseball club. Funds raised will go toward creating the first-ever fully accessible baseball field – perfect for Challenger Baseball – in the Lower Mainland. The clinic is open to players aged nine to 14, and will be held at South Surrey Athletic Park from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Sept. 20. Participants will learn from the former pros, while also having time for lunch and an autograph session.

The ‘awesome power of one’ ▶ TERRY FOX’S NURSE SHARES MEMORIES OF THE MAN WHO CROSSED CANADA, AS ANNUAL FUNDRAISING RUNS APPROACH MELISSA SMALLEY

When Alison Ince treated a young man undergoing a leg amputation in 1977, she and the other nursing staff at Royal Columbian Hospital (RCH) knew there was something special about him. “He was the kind of patient that stood out in your memory,” Ince, the hospital’s former associate director of nursing, told the White Rock Rotary club last week. Ince, who turns 80 next week, shared her memories of Terry Fox, the young Port Coquitlam man who captured the world’s attention when he embarked on a cross-Canada run in 1980 to raise money and awareness for cancer research. Ince’s visit to South Surrey came 35 years to the day that Terry was forced to abandon his Marathon of Hope outside of Thunder Bay, Ont., when doctors discovered his cancer had spread to his lungs. Reflecting upon her time spent as Terry’s nurse, Ince, a Surrey resident, described him as stubborn, with a great sense of humour, an enormous sense of family and a penchant for modesty. “He never considered himself special, or that what he did was extraordinary,” Ince said. In early 1980, when Ince first learned about Terry’s ambitious plan to run across the country, she was not overly surprised. “We all thought if anyone could do it, he could,” she said. She and the rest of the staff at RCH followed his progress closely, rooting him on, like millions of others across Canada. Upon hearing the devastating news that his cancer had returned 143 days and 5,373 kilometres into his trek, Ince said she reacted in a way that was “typical of the medical and nursing staff.” “I said a very rude word, which I will not repeat, and I burst into tears,” she recalled. Terry flew home from Ontario and was immediately admitted to RCH, where Ince held the position of deputy director of nursing. Caught offguard by the intense public interest Terry’s arrival garnered, Ince was tasked with handling public relations surrounding his care. “That evening, I had to call the radio stations and request that listeners not call the hospital about his condition,” Ince ▶ “I said a said, noting that very rude callers were tying up the hospital’s word... and main switchboard then I burst and emergency lines. into tears.” What followed ALISON INCE, UPON in the weeks and LEARNING TERRY months after Terry’s return was FOX’S CANCER a flurry of press HAD RETURNED conferences, daily

Terry Fox (below) ran more than 5,000 kilometres on his Marathon of Hope before he was forced to stop when his cancer returned. His legacy has inspired countless others – such as participants in last year’s Terry Fox Run in Bear Creek Park (above) – to raise funds in his name. Below left: Alison Ince, Terry’s nurse, spoke to the White Rock Rotary last week. FILE PHOTOS health bulletins, bags upon bags of mail from around the world and never-ending phone calls from people concerned about Terry and wanting to help. Ince fielded many of the phone calls, and recalled one from a little boy who wanted to contribute, but only had one dollar in his piggy bank. “He had thought of a way he could help – he was going to sell their house,” Ince laughed. “I strongly suggested to him that he consult with his parents on that.” As Terry’s condition began to worsen in the spring of 1981, Ince said she was forced to come to terms with the fact that he was going to die. “God sure got an earful from me on that one,” she said. True to form, Terry continued to live each day to the fullest extent that he was capable, Ince said, noting that all was not “doom and gloom” and there were many moments of happiness and laughter. Dawn was just beginning to break on the morning of June 28 when Terry passed away, one month shy of his 23rd

birthday. “In spite of our anguish, there was love and an incredible feeling of peace,” Ince said. Since the Marathon of Hope 35 years ago, close to $700 million has been raised for cancer research in Terry’s name. His contribution to cancer patients, survivors and their families, however, goes far beyond money, said Ince – who is a breast cancer survivor. “He brought cancer front and centre in our society, at a time when it was still talked about in hushed tones, behind closed doors,” she said. In the years since Terry’s death, Ince has volunteered at several Terry Fox Runs in Surrey. She also spends time speaking at local schools, sharing Terry’s story, and is inspired by the impact he has on those who were born decades after he passed away. His legacy, she said, has become an integral part of Canada’s heritage. “He taught us the awesome power of one,” she said. “How each of us, as individuals, can and do make a difference.”

SFU gets its own song ▶ SURREY COMPOSER HELPS UNIVERSITY CELEBRATE ITS 50TH ANNIVERSARY

Winners of SFU’s Legacy Song contest are Caleb Sung (singing) and Brett Janzen (drums).

Sometimes turning 50 has its perks. Like getting your very own song. It may have taken a half-century of survival, but SFU’s longevity is finally something to sing about. “Engage the World” was announced as the winning song in the university’s 50th Anniversary Legacy Song contest. Composed by Surrey’s Brett Janzen and Richmond’s Caleb Sung, the song was among six finalists chosen from 35 entries. A panel of students, faculty, alumni and staff chose the winner. While Sung is a fourth-year business student at SFU, a singer, composer and pianist, his friend Janzen is a professional musician, producer and composer. They spent about a week on the song. “We were elated to win the contest. It’s a great milestone just before I graduate next spring,” said Sung, adding he and Janzen were inspired by the anthem-like qualities of some of the music they per-

form with their church band every weekend. They then worked to capture the natural, mountain top location of SFU’s Burnaby campus in the music. “We hope that this new song will become a part of SFU’s tradition and help foster pride and school spirit for years to come,” said SFU President Andrew Petter. Runner-up and People’s Choice winners were also selected by online community voting. SFU film school alumnus Daniel Moxon’s song “We are SFU” was the runner-up while student Brendan Bernardo won the People’s Choice award for “Make a Simon Fraser U”. Lyrics of Engage the World: On mountain high we innovate Build questing minds and

educate With striving hearts initiate We honor this our native land While visions grow we take our stand Where dreams are held in student’s hands Engage the world Engage the world Our school will rise above in victory We’re S.F.U We’re building here community Where knowledge grows both strong and free We’ll change the world with unity Engage the world Engage the world Our school will rise above in victory We’re S.F.U We’re S.F.U. We’re S.F.U.

growth, housing activity, auto sales and employment gains this strong, during any previous recession,” says Cooper. Seen as one of the most influential economists in Canada for several decades, Cooper says a provincial sectoral decline is a far cry from a true national recession. “Really what drove the numbers down were the difficulties in the oil patch. For Alberta there is a recession but for Canada as a whole, no. When oil prices were high, Alberta was booming and the Canadian dollar was strong. That hurt exports from the manufacturing sectors in Ontario and Quebec.”

Anyone who says Canada is in a recession isn’t an economist – says leading economist Ottawa, ON – Dr. Sherry Cooper, the chief economist for Dominion Lending Centres and long-time trusted economic commentator across North America, offered some strong opinion to recent reports Canada

is in an economic recession. “Everyone thinks it’s a recession except for economists! Real recessions see widespread contraction, which we simply aren’t seeing across the country. We have never seen consumption

PLAY FOR THIS.

TICKETS & PACKS ON SALE NOW.

Overall, Cooper remains bullish on the current state of the Canadian economy, “I think we are going to see a significant rebound . . . roughly to 2 1/2 per cent growth for the second half of this year and into next year.” This is a far cry from recent reports of growth forecasts of a much more conservative 1.1 percent growth for the coming year by a survey of 16 economists

conducted by Census Economics. But Cooper is basing her forecast on a number of factors, including the rebounding US economy, with US growth revised up to 3.7 percent in the second quarter. “It’s positive for Canada,” says Cooper. “We’ve seen that in the most recent export numbers . . . most of that trade is with US. In addition, despite the five-months of declining GDP this year, Canada’s job growth has been impressive. The 54,400 jump in August brought this year’s increase in full-time jobs to an impressive 174,000. Canadian consumers are buying big-ticket items, with home sales strong yet again last month (outside of Alberta), boosting mortgage activity, and auto sales showing big gains. Housing is likely to slow only modestly in the next year as the Bank of Canada keeps short-term interest rates at record lows and longer-term yields edge only modestly higher.” When it comes to the effect of the federal election, Cooper points

out any change in government creates a market selloff to a certain degree, but says talk of balanced budgets and prudent fiscal policy currently being heard by all three main federal parties will likely stabilize the markets quickly.

Dr. Sherry Cooper “I think we are going to see up to 2 1/2 per cent growth into next year.” Chief Economist for Dominion Lending Centres

LITCHFIELD, Phillip Harold 1943 - 2015 On August 21, Phillip unexpectedly passed away at the age of 71 of cancer that was confirmed only 2 days prior. He was predeceased by his wife Joyce in 2014, his father Phillip in 2002, and mother Cora in 1981. He is survived by his brothers, Clifford, Donald & twin brother Frank, and his sister Beverly. Phillip was a gentle man with a beautiful heart who gave what he could and expected little. He enjoyed the simpler things in life and always had a joke to tell with a smile on his face. Phillip will always be remembered & loved for his kindness and caring personality. His devoted wife Joyce stood by his side without hesitation for many years as Phillip battled with his lengthy medical conditions. He is now joined with Joyce to rest in peace for eternity, as she too sadly passed away of cancer at age 69 only 10 months early. Many fond memories of Phillip and Joyce will live on in our hearts forever. The family would like to thank all the staff at Fleetwood Place for

On Sunday September 6, 2015, Emma passed into the presence of her Lord at the age of 92 years. Emma was born in Bruderheim, Alberta, the homestead area of the Prochnau family on July 16, 1923 the youngest child of Samuel and Pauline Prochnau. A long time resident of Surrey. Emma is predeceased by her loving husband, Stanley of 60 years (Sept. 6, 2001) her brothers Nathan, Arthur, Leonard, sisters Pauline Calvert and Lydia Bielert, her daughter in law, Kathy Porter and grandson, Daniel Porter. To cherish her memory, Emma leaves her sister, Ruth McKay of Vernon, son, David and daughter Muriel (Ib) Larsen. Her love for her family extended to 5 grandchildren as well as her 14 great grandchildren. Emma enjoyed a warm relationship with her numerous nieces and nephews. Emma with her husband Stanley enjoyed many happy years of travel and adventure after retiring from their hardware business in Tsawwassen. During their time in Tsawwassen, they were founding members of both the South Delta Baptist Church and the Tsawwassen Alliance Church. Although Emma missed her husband dearly, she maintained wonderful relationships with family and friends taking an active interest in their lives. Her “Marquis” family helped sustain her in her latter years while allowing her independence to be respected. As her physical health declined, her spirit and spunk never wavered. Emma’s deep founded faith from her Moravian background was an anchor in her life giving her quiet strength. An invitation is extended from Emma’s family to a service on Friday September 15 2015 at 1:00 pm at Victory Funeral Centre 14831- 28th Avenue Surrey BC. A time of visitation will be at noon. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to The Bibles for Missions.
