NEW GPS MONITORS ON THE WAY FOR OFFENDERS ▶ ANKLE BRACELETS WILL ALLOW MAPPING OF MOVEMENTS JEFF NAGEL
Advanced new ankle bracelets to electronically monitor high-risk offenders after their release from prison will soon be in use in B.C. The move comes more than a year after the arrest of paroled rapist Raymond Caissie in the murder of Surrey high school student Sereena Vermeersch. At the time, Justice Minister Suzanne Anton acknowledged the monitoring of high-risk offenders needed to be improved. The Crown did not request electronic monitoring of Sereena Caissie. Vermeersch In July, the province selected UK-based provider Buddi Ltd. to provide new monitoring devices to track released offenders and ensure they don’t violate release conditions. continued on page 5

Man arrested after loaded AK-47 found in vehicle has been released ▼ SALEH MOHAMMED IS FACING 15 CHARGES RELATED TO FORCIBLE CONFINEMENT, DRUGS AND FIREARMS KEVIN DIAKIW
A man charged with possession of an AK-47 assault rifle and who allegedly handed off another loaded weapon to a youth has been released on bail. On Nov. 12, Surrey RCMP arrested Saleh Mohammed, 22, after reports of a domestic disturbance in Guildford came in at about 6 a.m. By the time police arrived, the couple being reported had left. A short time later, Mounties received a call about a single-vehicle accident at 148 Street and 80B Avenue. The driver was taken into police custody and the female, who knew the driver, was released to her family. During a search of the vehicle, police found a loaded AK-47 assault rifle, a restricted handgun and a large amount of a substance believed to be cocaine and heroin. Police subsequently learned that two youth who heard the crash and went to offer assistance were allegedly given a fully loaded firearm and asked to hide it. The two youth took the gun home and gave it to their father, who called police. Mohammed was arrested and charged with 15 counts related to forcible confinement, as well as weapons and drugs charges. He appeared in Surrey Provincial Court last Wednesday (Nov. 25) and was released on $7,500 bail. Crown prosecutors opposed his release. Mohammed is under several conditions of house arrest, including not going near certain individuals, not being in possession of firearms or other weapons, keeping the peace and reporting to a bail supervisor. Cpl. Scotty He is allowed to leave Schumann his home for employment, medical treatment and an hour a day for exercise or shopping for necessities, according to Neil MacKenzie, spokesman for the B.C. Criminal Justice Branch. “I can’t really go into particulars, but I can confirm that Crown opposed Mr. Mohammed’s release in the case,” MacKenzie said. He said Mohammed will remain under house arrest “until the matter is resolved” by the courts. Last week police described Mohammed’s arrest as significant in regards to disrupting the low-level drug trade in Surrey. “These criminals have a careless disregard for public safety and our detachment and community will not tolerate their actions,” said Surrey RCMP Sgt. Paul Hayes. Mounties said Friday they are confident with the case they presented to Crown counsel. “There’s nothing we would have done differently, in hindsight,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann, adding there’s no need for public alarm. “We will be monitoring (Mohammed) very closely to ensure he is abiding by his court-imposed conditions.”

Students riding the path to success ▼ BIKE REPAIR PROGRAM FOSTERS CONFIDENCE THROUGH HARD WORK EVAN SEAL
In a portable classroom at Queen Elizabeth Secondary, six students intently focus on various mountain bikes suspended on bike stands throughout the class. The dull roar of voices mix with the whir of spinning bike chains as students put the finishing touches on their own restored two-wheelers. It may look like an ordinary shop class, but this group of Surrey high school students has been learning how to repair bikes and give back to the community at the same time. Many of the students enrolled in this hands-on program have struggled in mainstream classrooms and were beginning to slip through the cracks. That’s when Debbie Holmes came up with a unique plan. Holmes, a career and work experience coordinator with the Surrey School District, decided to give the students the opportunity to learn about bicycle repair and at the same time, support the Surrey Christmas ▶ “This is real Bureau. change.

stages of disrepair and were then tasked with getting them in perfect running order. Each student was given two bikes to fix up without realizing one was for the Christmas bureau and one was for themselves. “Many of the students at the beginning were anxious, but now look at them all,” said Holmes, scanning the classroom. “They’re all in there working hard and they are so proud of their bikes.” When the program was in its infancy, Holmes enlisted the help of Maple Ridge Cycle owner Troy Scott. “When Debbie came to me about the program, I said sure I’d love to help,” said Scott. He feels a connection with the kids and understands where many of them are coming from. “Going through school I was more interested in bikes than anything,” he said. “It’s all about helping the kids and team work. Bikes can be the gateway and the path to give them direction and the confidence.” For Grade 10 student Isabella Cavezza, 15, the program has given her the self-esteem to try new things. During the first few classes, she felt like the odd one out, sitting on the sidelines. Not having had any experience with mechanical repair in the past, she felt lost. However, after gradually getting involved, her knowledge and confidence began to blossom. “I started to learn a lot and now I know pretty much everything about bikes. And I feel so good that I can help give people bikes because they are so expensive.” She’s now even considering becoming a mechanic. For Holmes, the change in the students has been tremendous. “This is real change. It gives them something positive,” she said. “Now we just need to make sure they all have helmets.”

B.C. generosity to refugees ‘overwhelming’ ▶ ‘HISTORIC MOMENT’ AS DOORS OPEN, DONATIONS PILE UP JEFF NAGEL
The head of B.C.’s refugee resettlement effort says the generosity of residents towards incoming Syrians is “overwhelming” and he’s relieved the federal government has set a more cautious pace for the transfers. Chris Friesen now estimates 400 Syrian refugees will arrive in B.C. in December and expects another 1,500 in January and February, in line with the federal government’s revised goal of bringing in 25,000 across Canada before March. “Now we’ve got a month or so to catch our breath, thank goodness,” said Friesen, the director of settlement services for the Immigrant Services Society of B.C., which is federally contracted to assist government-sponsored refugees. He said the magnitude of the response in B.C. is stunning. “This has become the great Canadian national project,” Friesen said. “Syrians are for today’s generation what the Vietnamese boat people were to the baby boomers. In the decades to come, we will look back at 2015-2016 as an historic moment in Canadian history when Canadians embraced a humanitarian crisis and responded in untold ways.” Offers of temporary and permanent housing, employment and myriad donations have been flooding in, from donors as diverse as inner city kindergarten classes
and seniors homes to Jewish synagogues and Sikh businessmen. An 18-unit apartment building in Vancouver’s West End that had been slated for demolition has been offered up by developer Ian Gillespie. “He’s turned it over on his dime – fully furnished with telephones, computers – for up to the end of March so we can get through this crunch period,” Friesen said. Refugees will stay in temporary accommodations like that for a couple of weeks, get oriented, find permanent housing and rotate out as new Syrians arrive. The top priority now is finding the permanent homes, many of which are expected to be in more affordable Metro Vancouver cities such as Surrey and Coquitlam. Indo-Canadian developer Daljit Thind, an immigrant himself, has offered several well-appointed permanent apartments on Kingsway in Vancouver at welfare rates, far below what they could fetch. Friesen likens the operation underway to suddenly trying to host the Olympics with next to no notice. “We’ve got over 3,500 volunteers. Close to 800 housing leads. A hundred and something employers wanting to offer first jobs in Canada,” he said. “We’ve got grandmothers knitting toques and scarves and gloves,” Friesen said. “We had a seven-year-old who gave his $2 allowance. A 13-year-old who gave his birthday party money – instead of collecting gifts he basically took money from his friends and gave it to us. It’s unbelievable.” The Immigrant Services Society has helped recruit volunteer, housing and job offers through its website (www.issbc.org) and it also takes financial donations to help fund private refugee sponsorships.

Partnership acts as advocate for refugees and immigrants ▶ SURREY HAS HISTORICALLY WELCOMED BETWEEN 500 AND 700 NEWCOMERS ANNUALLY KEVIN DIAKIW
In her 26 years on Surrey council, Judy Villeneuve has stick-handled most social service issues in this city – chief among them, support for newcomers. About a year-and-a-half ago, she worked with several other groups to develop the Surrey Local Immigrant Partnership (LIP) in hopes of augmenting support for refugees and immigrants in the city. Surrey has historically welcomed between 500 and 700 refugees and immigrants each year. News that Canada would be taking in 25,000 refugees from Syria meant LIP was going to work. “This is going to be one of the most challenging projects,” said Villeneuve, who noted the multi-agency LIP was relieved it had already organized. “Everybody was really glad we had that infrastructure in place.” While no firm figure is known yet, it’s believed Surrey will be home to about 800 of the incom-

▶ TECHNOLOGY RAPIDLY IMPROVING from page 1
A justice ministry spokesperson said Buddi will now conduct staff training and equipment testing. B.C. Corrections expects to begin using the new devices in mid-December. The hybrid radio frequency/GPS system has better tracking and reporting capabilities, including an ability to program in no-go zones and map an offender’s travels. An alarm sounds at the central monitoring site if the offender enters a restricted area, and vibration alerts on the ankle bracelet remind the offender to comply. According to Buddi, supervisors can use the data on offender movements to help them alter their behaviour to reduce the likelihood of reoffending. The real-time location data may also help police quickly rule out monitored offenders as suspects in a new crime. The old ankle bracelet system, which relies on a telephone landline, could only verify that an offender was home and was mainly used to monitor house arrest and enforce curfews.
A report to the province late last year said electronic monitoring technology is rapidly
improving and future innovations are likely to include smartphone apps that alert victims

Charity should know no borders When it comes to helping others, the phrase “think globally, act locally” comes to mind. As Canada prepares to welcome thousands of Syrian refugees in the coming months, there are those willing to do everything in their power to help, and it’s admirable. At the same time, there are others demanding that we “look after our own” first – and the many who do just that every day are also admirable. There’s no question the need in our own backyard is great; even some of our closest neighbours are struggling. There are children going hungry, women fleeing violence and seniors who spend all their time alone. These are needs that receive less public attention than their international counterpart, although they’re often brought to the forefront a little more
this time of year, as Christmas approaches. As calls to focus on our own continue to permeate the refugee discussion, we suggest it’s a good time for all of us to ask ourselves, what exactly have we done to make things better for others? Have we donated to the food bank? Have we checked in on a neighbour who hasn’t been seen in a few days? Have we offered to help serve meals at the local soup kitchen? Do we have extra warm weather clothing we could donate to help dull the chill for someone who has nowhere but outside to spend the night? Before we criticize the help that’s being given to our international neighbours based on the belief that “charity begins at home,”
RAESIDE
those questions deserve due consideration. Some say how we respond to the plight of Syrian refugees is a test of our values and generosity. The same can be said – and we would venture to an even greater degree – about how we look after our own communities. It’s easy to pretend problems, both locally and globally, don’t exist, if we stay inside, turn off our televisions, close our curtains and unplug from the Internet. But it’s neither right nor fair to point to one group that needs help and say “we can’t help you because we have to help our own.” Especially if we’re not. And really, even if charity does begin at home, does it have to stop there?
Inconvenient truths of climate change BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher
Premier Christy Clark and Environment Minister Mary Polak have joined the thousands of jet-setters in Paris to once again stage negotiations for a global climate treaty. The embarrassing failures of these United Nations events, such as the one in Lima, Peru last year, have been forgotten. Canadian TV only showed file images of an effigy of Stephen Harper receiving a “fossil of the day” award for his alleged failure to rein in Canada’s two per cent of human-induced greenhouse gas emissions. Now Justin Trudeau leads our biggest-ever delegation to COP21, as the Paris meeting is called. Trudeau hasn’t even begun to develop a plan for Canada, asking provinces to come up with their own first, but he’s already hailed as a visionary. This is similar to the newly elected Barack Obama, who modestly predicted in 2008 that history would record his win as “the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.”
Perhaps Obama wasn’t completely full of CO2, since in this century, global temperatures have increased by only about a fourth of what UN climate models predicted. This 20-year slowdown of the long run of post-Ice Age warming, which has dominated most of the last 10,000 years, is referred to as the “pause” or “hiatus.” It is usually explained away with reference to the Pacific Decadal Oscillation or other long-term warming and cooling trends in oceans. Other countries have put new emission reduction proposals on the table for COP21. Danish environmental economist Bjorn Lomborg did the math, and concluded that if every major emitting country keeps its word this time, the total of all their efforts would reduce global warming by about 0.2 degrees by 2100. What? A statistically meaningless decrease after 85 years of energy austerity? That Lomborg, he’s just a “denier,” trying to get more publicity. Oh wait, here’s a study from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology that finds the same thing – two-tenths of a degree by 2100. Wobbly climate models aren’t the only problem for global warming alarmists. NASA recently confirmed that contrary to UN projections, total ice mass in Antarctica is increasing. This is much more likely to slow sea level rise than an Obama or Trudeau speech. Arctic ice, meanwhile, is rebounding rapidly after receding in recent years. And while UN climate conferences always cause a spike in sightings of people wearing polar bear suits, here’s another inconvenient truth. B.C. polar bear researcher Susan Crockford reports that the world bear population is up to 26,500, a 50-year high. That Crockford, she’s just a denier… Oh wait, the International Union for Conservation of Nature “Red List” says that’s about right, and the population trend is no longer “decreasing” but is now “unknown.”

None of this is to deny that our climate is warming, or that the Industrial Revolution and carbon fuel use are part of the picture. It’s the religious zeal, misuse of data and attacks on skeptics that are troubling. B.C. already leads the country with its small but broad-based carbon tax, about which Clark will boast at every opportunity in Paris. We won’t see the B.C. Liberal government’s final “Climate 2.0” plan until next spring, but their advisory committee wants to start jacking up the carbon tax in 2018. Northern and Interior B.C. folks are assured they will receive bigger rebates to reflect the fact that they pay more carbon tax to drive long distances in the cold. And B.C.’s aggressive 2020 greenhouse gas target? The government admits we’re not going to make that, because the economy is growing.

▼ ENERGETIC PRODUCTION A WONDERFUL WAY TO KICK OFF THE CHRISTMAS SEASON
DEC 7, 8, 9
3 days only
I had the opportunity of seeing the Fraser Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society’s production of Jack in the Beanstalk on Friday evening at the Surrey Arts Centre. As a retired panto actor, I went with high expectations. Well, I wasn’t disappointed in the least. I laughed, I yelled back at the demon, I cheered the fairy, I answered Billy and I sang along when the audience was encouraged to do so and I was sorry when it was all over. This is one of the more energetic pantos I’ve seen in a very long time. Great cast and a wonderful way to kick off the Christmas season. If a panto is on your list of “to-dos” for this season, make sure FVGSS’s Jack and the Beanstalk is at the top of your list. You won’t regret it for a minute. The worst part about this was that the audience was about half full. Go and see this. For ages from three to 93. Carroll Lefebvre
▼ WHY ARE BYLAWS OPEN TO DISCRETION? My concern is regarding the unenforced bylaws that appear to be the norm in Surrey. As a taxpayer, I wonder why we are paying the mayor, councillors and general manager other than to sit in ultra-expensive offices and do nothing. One bylaw that falls into this category allows tree trimming to a 32-percent maximum limit. Even after a complaint is filed, the city allows trimming to continue, thus decimating the trees to 50 or 60 per cent with a comment that “we have to be flexible,” which is absurd at best. Trimming of “dry branches” which are perfectly healthy and green is also an excuse. Even after a bylaw officer and city arborist are sent out to inspect a site, the damage continues.
The carnage speaks for itself: oldgrowth trees stripped of their limbs leaving bare telephone pole-like trunks ensuring no shadows are cast on the adjacent house. It appears that depending who you hire, who you know and if you have the proper connections, the City of Surrey is a free-for-all entity. Why is the bylaw written if not enforced? Why is it called maximum if can be doubled? Is the bylaw made to be flexible for staff interpretation and discretion? If this lax and idiotic practice is allowed, soon we will have no trees left in Surrey. Why on Earth anybody who does not like trees would buy a home in an area that is surrounded by them is beyond me. What gives them the right to selfishly change the dynamics of a neighbourhood that the rest of the residents cherish? As a taxpayer I am appalled and have had enough. Julius. G Bekei
▶ SURREY: ASSESS TAXES WITH THE ENVIRONMENT IN MIND When I look at new developments or houses, I only see buildings. I do not see trees. Mature trees are disappearing. The city should have developments with
few trees and existing individual residential owners with no trees pay a penalty (or higher property tax), and it should consider giving a tax credit (incentive)
to residential owners with three or more trees. A portion of property taxes should be assessed based on environmental damage or gain. Satwinder Singh, Surrey

Nighttime 45-kilometre chase ends in two arrests ▶ DRIVER OF FLEETING CAR LED POLICE FROM SURREY TO WEST VANCOUVER KEVIN DIAKIW
Two people were arrested last week after a 45-kilometre police pursuit from Surrey to West Vancouver. On Thursday (Nov. 26) at 1:10 a.m., Surrey RCMP patrol officers saw a suspicious vehicle near 102 Avenue and 155A Street. A grey, 2000 Honda Civic police were following was believed to have been stolen from Port Coquitlam. Once the driver and passenger spotted the RCMP vehicle in Guildford, the Honda smashed into the police cruiser while fleeing. The Honda headed west onto Highway 1 and
took the highway into West Vancouver. West Vancouver Police disabled the car with a spike belt and the two occupants were taken into custody. “ The suspects in this case travelled through three RCMP jurisdictions and two municipally policed communities,” said Asst. Comm. Dan Malo, head of Lower Mainland RCMP. “Police worked together trying to stop a reckless driver travelling at high speeds and, through their coordinated efforts, two persons will be potentially facing serious charges.” Both suspects, who have not been formally charged at this time, are currently in custody. The driver, a 25-year-old male from Maple Ridge, and a 23-year-old woman from Coquitlam, are both being investigated for possession of a stolen vehicle.

13-year sentence for Surrey man’s death ▶ DONALD CHAD SHOT COREY BENNETT IN 2013 TRACY HOLMES
The man responsible for the shooting death of Corey Bennett in Surrey two years ago is to spend another 10 years in jail. And while family members of the victim said they would have liked to see a longer sentence imposed on Donald James Chad Jr., they agreed it was “well thought-out.” “Given the evidence and preliminary trial… I think the judge did a good job,” Bennett’s sister, Jamie England, said outside court. Bennett’s daughter, Kaitlyn Denton, said it was “a little bit more reassuring” to know Chad – who she saw for the first time in court that day – was sentenced. Bennett’s cousin, Adelle Rose Moreno, said it “helps us… go on with our lives and try to heal now.” “It’s like an open wound that’s been there for the past two years.” In deciding on the sentence, Judge James Jardine said he kept in mind Chad didn’t intentionally pull the trigger, as well as his guilty plea and “sincere… insightful” apology. But Jardine said he couldn’t ignore that Chad, now 32, had only recently been paroled on the night he went to Bennett’s home with a plan to “retaliate, intimidate, extort, rob and humiliate” him. Nor could he discount that Chad continued to engage in high-risk crime from the moment
Corey Bennett the gun went off until his arrest two weeks later. “His record and his conduct demonstrates that he continues to be a danger in the community,” Jardine said Friday morning in Surrey Provincial Court. “His previous conviction and sentence had not deterred him.” Bennett, 44, died on Nov. 9, 2013 after a semi-automatic rifle Chad was poking him with went off during a struggle at Bennett’s home in the 2600-block of King George Boulevard. The court heard earlier this month, during sentencing submissions, that Chad had struggled with recurring substance-abuse issues since he was a teen, and in the months prior to Bennett’s death, relapsed. On the night Bennett was killed, Chad had gone to the house – described as a focal point for illicit drugs – with two other men and a concealed, loaded rifle. He’d been there twice before and, on the latter visit, had been ejected at Bennett’s request by “muscle” with baseball bats. Chad got into the house, forced his way

into Bennett’s bedroom, knocked another visitor over, jumped on Bennett’s bed where he was sleeping, and prodded him with the rifle, Jardine recounted. After the gun went off, Chad and another male searched the bedroom and Bennett, removed a bag that had been strapped across Bennett’s body and left. Bennett was later pronounced dead at Peace Arch Hospital. Following police surveillance, Chad was arrested on Nov. 22 at a gas station in Surrey. He was carrying Canadian
and Chinese currency and a loaded, prohibited revolver, and was wearing a kevlar vest. Jardine said the case “provided a glimpse into the sordid, squalid” lifestyle that led to Bennett’s death. The judge said it was difficult to reconcile family members’ descriptions of Bennett “with the man who was residing in the crack house, acting in the role of a drug trafficker… highlighting the insidious aspect of addiction and hard drugs in our community.” “That does not mean
he deserves to die,” Jardine said. England said outside court she was disappointed her brother had been painted as a drug trafficker. “He was not this crack-shack lord, and he was not the supplier,” she said, adding homicide investigators had told her they were “astounded” by the number of witnesses who had come forward to share details of Bennett as “an amazing person” who tried to help others who were dealing with addiction. Denton, 23, described
her dad as “loving, caring… really funny,” but said his addiction affected how much time they spent together. In imposing sentence, Jardine addressed Bennett’s family – about a dozen attended in all, including his father. “I want the Bennetts to know there is nothing… which in anyway is going to fix the pain, or your loss or your missing your son,” he said. In addition to a nine-year term for manslaughter, Jardine sentenced Chad to a consecutive four-year
term for possession of a loaded firearm, in connection with the weapon seized during his arrest. (The rifle used the night Bennett died was never recovered.) With credit for time already served, there is 10 years remaining of the sentence. Jardine addressed Chad and expressed a belief that he could still turn his life around. “This is truly a crossroads for you,” Jardine said. “This is the time. You’re capable of reforming – it’s up to you. Good luck.”

Gypsy moth spray declared a success JEFF NAGEL
Aerial spraying in Surrey and Delta last spring appears to have succeeded in eradicating an infestation of European gypsy moths. Provincial government officials say just two moths have since been found in the 4,500-hectare Surrey spray zone around Cloverdale and Panorama Ridge, and no moths have been trapped in Delta, where 200 hectares was sprayed near where Highway 91 connects to highways 99 and 10. About 200 moths had been trapped in the previous summer of 2014. No further spraying is planned for 2016, according to forests ministry officials, but continued intensive trapping is planned around Surrey to determine what kind
of treatment program may be needed in future years. Helicopters sprayed treatment agent Foray 48B. It contains the naturally occurring bacteria Btk, which kills the fuzzy leaf-munching caterpillars before the larvae turn into adult moths. The introduced moth is destructive to forests, orchards, farms and urban trees. Halting its advance is also considered important to avoid trade restrictions. Some angry residents complained that they did not get enough advance warning of the spray program.
There were claims of allergic reactions – unconfirmed by health officials – as well as local concern that other species such as butterflies and bees might be harmed.
Sikh health ambassadors Fraser Health has launched a new program through Sikh temples in Surrey and Burnaby aimed at helping the region’s more than 240,000 South Asians improve and protect their health. The Sehat Wellness Ambassador program places volunteers trained by Fraser’s public health team in the temples to encourage actions to prevent illness and chronic disease, such as getting

their blood pressure checked, undergoing cancer screenings or getting an annual flu shot. South Asians are four times more likely to contract heart disease and diabetes due to various factors, including family history, diet and lifestyle. “We know that approaching people in their own community is an effective way to promote good health,” said Dr. Victoria Lee, Fraser Health’s chief medical health officer. Ambassadors will be in the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara, Gurdwara Sahib Brookside and Laxmi Narayan Mandir temples in Surrey.
Child poverty a ‘crisis’ An annual child poverty report card is once again criticizing B.C.’s high child poverty rate and lack of a comprehensive plan to address it. The report from the First Call B.C. Child
and Youth Advocacy Coalition found 20.4 per cent of children in B.C. live in poverty, higher than the Canadian average of 19 per cent. That’s down marginally from a year earlier, but advocates say it’s far too high. “The data in this report is evidence of a continuing child poverty crisis that reaches into every corner of the province,” said the coalition’s Cheryl Mixon. Just over half of those children – 85,450 – live in Metro Vancouver, and many are the kids of single moms. “Poverty robs children of their potential,” said Michael McKnight, CEO of the United Way of the Lower Mainland. “It not only raises social costs, it threatens our future prosperity.” Policy recommendations in the report include adopting a s $10-a-day subsidized child care plan, increasing and indexing the minimum wage and welfare rates, expand-
ing EI benefits and eligibility, and increasing affordable housing options for families.
PharmaNet underused A new report calls for more doctors to use a provincial database to prevent abuse of prescription pain killers and reduce the number of overdose deaths. The B.C. Centre for Excellence in HIV/ AIDS says only 30 per cent of B.C. doctors use the PharmaNet program. It helps doctors avoid both dangerous drug interactions by determining if patients are using something else, and to see if patients are trying to get opioids like oxycodone from multiple providers.

Police are warning drivers they can actually be ticketed for driving the speed limit. The caution from B.C. RCMP Traffic Services comes with the onset of darker, often rainy conditions in the Lower Mainland, and the possibility of snow in the weeks ahead. “Speed limits are maximums in ideal conditions and many drivers disregard this when the weather changes,” said Cpl. Ronda McEwen. “The roads are often wet and slippery and visibility is poor due to fog and rain. Drivers need to make the necessary adjustments.” If you’re in a crash and police determine you were travelling at an unsafe speed for the road conditions you could be issued a violation ticket for speed relative to conditions, she said. That’s a $167 fine with three penalty points that can be issued even if you were within the posted speed limit.

Understanding finances, helping the less-fortunate ▶ CLAYTON HEIGHTS SECONDARY STUDENTS USE MATH CLASS TO LEARN ABOUT SMART MONEY EVAN SEAL
Students at Clayton Heights Secondary School have been learning about personal finances and how the decisions they make about money impact their lives and the world around them. Developed in collaboration with the Royal Bank (RBC) and Free the Children, It All Adds Up is an educational resource thats
helps students learn to make smart personal financial decisions around budgeting, while at the same time, helping others. Students were able to apply practical everyday issues to understand the math, literacy and empathy concepts learned in class. The Grade 10 students were given a budget of $500, with a task of making lunches for the homeless in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver. By sourcing the lowest prices for each item, the students then worked together, using the Canada Health Guide to provide the healthiest lunch for the lowest
cost, eventually making lunches for more than 500 people. “It feels so good to help people, said Grade 11 student Aisha Parkes, who participated in the project last year. “And I learned a lot about planning for your future.” The Government of Canada’s Financial Literacy Leader Jane Rooney – who was at the school to learn about the project – was also impressed with the program. “What these students have done for themselves and their community is a wonderful example of the benefits of strengthening the financial literacy of young people,” she said.

Trucks will light up the Santa Parade of Lights again this year. LEADER FILE
Mon to Fri: 9:00am-6:00pm
The countdown to Christmas shifts into overdrive this weekend. The 10th annual Surrey’s Santa Parade of Lights is set for Sunday, Dec. 6 (starting at 5 p.m.) in historic downtown Cloverdale. Surrey’s largest evening Santa parade is really two parades in one. The first part is a procession of lighted trucks and big rigs. Part two is a traditional community parade, featuring horse-drawn carriages, floats, boats, church groups, Men in Kilts, tow trucks, square dancers, choirs and sports teams, plus a number of antique vehicles, mascots and more. The parade supports two charities – the Surrey Food Bank and Surrey Christmas Bureau. Spectators are asked to bring along a donation to help these
charities reach their campaign goals. People will be collecting items and cash donations all along the parade route. There’s an entertainment zone at Hawthorne Square (176 Street and 57A Avenue) and at 176A Street and 60 Avenue with vendors and music starting at 4 p.m. Grab a snack or warm up with a hot beverage, thanks to service clubs such as the Cloverdale Lions and the Rotary Club of Cloverdale. The 30-member a capella group Soundscape is performing at Hawthorne Square. A traditional tree lighting ceremony follows the parade. Children are invited to meet Santa. The parade starts at the corner of 176A Street and 60 Avenue, heading east to 177B Street, then south to 58 Avenue, and west to 176 Street, ending at Highway 10. The event is organized by the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association and Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce.
Big Rigs for Kids The Lighted Truck Parade comes back for its sixth year on Dec. 6. The Big Rigs for Kids Lighted Truck Parade sees truckers spend hours decorating their vehicles, turning them into beautiful representations of the holiday season. After the Santa Parade, the trucks will be stopped along University Drive in front of the City Centre Library from 6:45 p.m. until just after 8 p.m. for everyone to admire. The North Surrey Lions Club will once again be selling hot chocolate and hot dogs, with all proceeds going to the Surrey Christmas Bureau and the Surrey Food Bank. These charities will also both be on-site accepting donations, and all attendees are encouraged to bring donations in the spirit of the season. They will be on location from 5:30 p.m. to just after 8 p.m. at City Hall Plaza (13450 104 Ave.)
Red-nosed safety ▶ VOLUNTEERS AT OPERATION RED NOSE READY TO GIVE RIDES FROM PARTIES MONIQUE TAMMINGA
Operation Red Nose is looking to get people and their vehicles home safe this holiday season. Working in teams of three on Friday and Saturday nights throughout December (excluding Christmas), volunteers will pick up people who have enjoyed too much holiday cheer and get them, and their vehicle, home (or wherever they’re headed next). Drivers will be available to pick people up at parties in Surrey, White Rock, Langley and Aldergrove.
“We are the biggest chapter, in terms of territory,” said co-ordinator Meagan Castron. This is Castron’s first year organizing the safe ride home program. She said teams are busiest on New Year’s Eve, when drivers and their crews work into the wee hours of the morning. There is no charge for the service, but donations are accepted on behalf of local sports organizations. “We have hot spots we go to, where big events are happening, but mainly it is first-come, first-served,” Castron said of the service. Castron suggests people call about 30 minutes before they want a ride. To arrange a ride in Surrey, White Rock, Langley or Aldergrove, call 604-532-0888.

▶ DELTA BRIEFS
Municipality lauded for frugal finances On Nov. 26, Delta Mayor Lois Jackson, on behalf of the Corporation of Delta, received an award for municipal excellence from the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties Vancouver (NAIOP) for the “Most Fiscally Responsible” municipality. NAIOP’s 16th-annual “municipal report card” compares the performance of 21 municipalities in the Metro Vancouver area on a number of criteria.
The most fiscally responsible award was given to Delta for maintaining an equivalent annual inflation rate of 1.8 per cent for the 2001-2015 term, while consistently achieving a similar level of equivalent average annual inflation for previous terms. “Delta council’s prudent financial planning and continued fiscal strength is the cornerstone of everything we do,” said Jackson. “Our strong financial position
gives us the ability and flexibility of continually putting those funds back into the community by investing in key services for our residents and businesses.” By the end of 2015, Delta’s general municipal debt will be down to $0.9 million – a drop from the high of $44.7 million in 1999. Jackson noted that with Delta’s continued commitment to “pay as you go” project funding, Delta’s general debt will be eliminated by 2018.
Delta School District signs partnership with Nigeria The Delta School District recently signed a memorandum of understanding with the Kunike International School, a well-established school in Nigeria. “Kunike International School came highly recommended by the Canadian Trade Commissioner in Nigeria, who visited their campus
and said they have excellent academic standards,” said Deirdre Annett, director, International Programs, Delta School District. As part of the agreement, Kunike students in lower grades will come to study in Delta for short-term sessions, and older students will come on a fulltime basis to graduate from Delta schools. Delta will also provide summer camps for the Nigerian students.

Surrey’s kids-only ER sees 100-plus children per day ▼ SURREY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL’S PEDIATRIC EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT – THE LARGEST OF ITS KIND IN CANADA – TREATS PATIENTS 16 AND UNDER SHEILA REYNOLDS
As the designated Regional Pediatric Centre in the Fraser Health region, Surrey Memorial Hospital offers specialized and unique care to babies, children and youth from Burnaby to Hope. In the coming weeks, The Leader provides an inside look at how B.C.’s second-largest hospital has grown and adapted to treat its youngest and most vulnerable patients. It’s mid-morning on a Tuesday and there’s something wrong with seven-year-old Alfred’s eye. It’s red and looks irritated, so his dad has brought him to Surrey Memorial Hospital’s Pediatric Emergency Room to have it checked out. Alfred’s father explains that he and his wife noticed the inflammation the day before, but don’t remember him poking or injuring it. It had been hot outside, so they speculated perhaps he’d got sunscreen in his eye. The doctor on shift is Dr. Werner Gerntholtz. Wearing blue scrubs with a stethoscope slung around his neck, he takes a look at Alfred’s eyeball – but can’t readily detect if there’s any damage. He explains he’s going to put dye in the boy’s eye and use an elaborate microscope to examine it more closely. “This is going to make your vision orange,” he tells the boy. “Whoah,” Alfred says as he glances, wide-eyed around the room. With the lights turned out, Gerntholtz peers into the eye again and says he can see a small scratch. It’s not serious, but he suggests the dad monitor it and follow up with an eye doctor. On this particular morning, Gerntholtz is the only physician working the department. It’s not considered a busy time in the ER, unlike from 3-11 p.m., when things can get hectic. Then, there will be two doctors on shift. Still, there’s a steady stream A LEADER SPECIAL SERIES of kids coming through the doors. Down the hall, another boy is with his mom. Gerntholtz reviews a chest X-ray with her, noting some “fluffiness” in the picture of the nine-year-old’s lung. He explains the
CARING FOR
KIDS
Dr. Werner Gerntholtz uses an iPhone to do a preliminary vision check on a seven-year-old boy brought to Surrey Memorial Hospital’s pediatric emergency department with an apparent eye injury. EVAN SEAL fluffy appearance indicates there’s fluid present. “It’s nothing to be worried about,” assures the doctor, motioning toward the alert child, “because he looks very, very well.” Though already on antibiotics, he says the boy needs a higher dose. “The most important thing is, if he has a fever again or starts to have trouble breathing, bring him in,” he adds before sending mom and son on their way. The two boys are among at least 100 youngsters – from newborns to 16-year-olds – who will visit Surrey’s pediatric ER that day.
The unique facility, which opened in 2013, is the largest of its kind in Canada in that it’s not part of a children’s hospital. At 5,500 square feet, it’s intended to better serve the Fraser Health region, where 40 per cent of B.C.’s children live. And while health care workers and officials knew it was needed, they underestimated how well-used the space would be. Within the first full year of operation, 31,000 young patients visited the pediatric emergency department, well beyond the 24,000 anticipated.

▶ SMH HAS TWO ER AREAS: ONE FOR KIDS, ONE FOR ADULTS from page 17
Now, there are between 100 and 120 young people brought to the department daily. “That’s a 20-per-cent increase over last year,” says Ron Bate, Patient Care Coordinator at Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH). The emergency department at SMH is distinct in that when you enter the main doors, there are two areas: one to the right where adults are triaged, and secured doors to the left where only babies, children and teens are treated.
Bate explains that kids and youth are given a score upon admission, ranging from 1 (critical, requiring active CPR) to 5 (minor, could be seen at a clinic). Regardless of need, he says, patients are treated a timely manner, with more than half seen by a doctor within 30 minutes of walking in the door. There are 12 beds in the pediatric ER area – two fast-track for minor illnesses or injuries, three acute care for patients requiring closer attention, four for those with respiratory

December Review
thornleycreative.com
With a rapidly growing population in Surrey, it makes little financial sense to send students on to post-secondary education elsewhere due to lack of spaces locally. Investment in Surrey’s human capital is necessary and the Surrey Board of Trade recommended a need to focus on key “leverage points” where politically feasible investments of money and political capital can yield large changes in educational quality as well as access to education in Surrey. The Surrey Board of Trade asked the provincial government to engage in a study on the health care infrastructure needs in Surrey as it relates to population needs. Healthy workers are productive and ensuring their access to needed care in a timely manner is necessary for economic success of Surrey’s businesses and industries. Critical to Surrey’s economy is a comprehensive transportation plan that includes fair road pricing policy for the Lower Mainland and allows for the equitable funding of transportation infrastructure and transit services. The Surrey Board of Trade urged the Province to ensure that light rail is the preferred option for Surrey, not the substantially more expensive Skytrain. The Surrey Board of Trade asked the Province to make funding for Surrey’s LRT project a top priority in the budget. Additional budgetary concerns were also part of the Surrey Board of Trade’s presentation due to their impact on businesses. Social housing and social services in Surrey are currently insufficient for Surrey’s needs. Resources need to be allocated to support the good work of Surrey’s not-for-profit service providers who are stretched thin to address Surrey’s homelessness, low income (at 15.5%, 2011 NHS), newcomers and refugees, and more. Those experiencing social challenges such as homelessness and drug addictions directly impact businesses that also bear the costs of related crime. The Surrey Board of Trade suggests that this is an area in which the Ministry can be leaders through a community consultation process on how best to resource our services. Finally, the Surrey Board of Trade asks the BC Government to invest in arts and culture. Surrey and the Surrey Board of Trade are committed to supporting and growing a creative economy. The Surrey Board of Trade commits to continuing our work in advocating for, and working toward, a positive fiscal outcome for Surrey.

Monthly Update The Surrey Board of Trade presented to the BC Government’s Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services to provide input on next year’s provincial budget. “By 2041 Surrey’s population will grow by 50%, from 500,000 to 750,000, and we will add 150,000 new jobs. The rapid and sustained growth of Surrey and the south of the Fraser region is unique in BC, and it brings a number of challenges,” said Anita Huberman, CEO, Surrey Board of Trade. Priority topics in the SBOT’s presentation included Education, Essential Skills, Human Capital Investments, Health Care, Transportation (Light Rail Transit), Social Service Infrastructure and Arts-Culture Investments. Investment in Education is necessary to develop an agile workforce that will be competitive against global market forces. Huberman asked the committee to “Imagine a preschool classroom in Surrey, where 4-year-olds are getting ready for story-time. Then, cross the globe to an office in Bangalore, capital of India’s burgeoning high-tech industry, where engineers are designing a gas turbine system.” Global competition from India and elsewhere, advancing technologies and changing demographics are convincing more and more employers, business associations like the Surrey Board of Trade and corporate philanthropists to invest in classrooms and advocate for improvements in performance – starting with our youngest learners. The return on that effort, as we see it – in what is normally called early childhood development, is to develop the workforce that we need to maintain an edge on innovation. The Surrey Board of Trade urges the provincial government to continue their investments in early childhood education. Continuing with educational priorities, Essential Skills – those soft or job-ready skills necessary for success in the workplace – is a priority for SBOT business members. The cost of training ill-prepared workers is high when, with investments in the educational curriculum increased, the overall benefit to BC’s economy would be substantial. Business is advocating for both education standards and accountability for results to improve the competitiveness of the workforce and for individuals to achieve financial success.

Hundreds of donation boxes have been placed at locations throughout the community. You’ll find them at stores, schools and businesses, thanks to volunteers from the Surrey Association for Community Living. Donation suggestions include non-perishable food items, gift and grocery cards, toiletries and personal care items. Gifts for teenagers and boys aged eight to 12 are always needed. Hamper pick-up day is Saturday, Dec. 19. The program was founded by Jacob Schuurman and his wife Ida, who ran the program for 17 years. Kevin and Trish Lunder have acted as program leads for the last four years. “I want to be involved,” says Blake, who works for Community Living B.C. and has seen “the tremendous impact” Pacific Community Church and the Cloverdale Community Kitchen has had on the community. “It’s the opportunity for people to give where they live. It’s their friends and neighbours and their children’s friends at school that are going to benefit.”

Five local football players are now Vanier Cup champions as members of the University of British Columbia (UBC) Thunderbirds. The five were in the lineup Saturday in Quebec City for the CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sports) championship game, where the T-Birds toppled the favoured Montreal Carabins 26-23 on a 20-yard field goal by Quinn van Gylswyk on the final play.
Fourth-year offensive lineman Ethan Sadowski, thirdyear offensive lineman Tony Ganton of North Delta, second-year receiver Will Watson of South Surrey, and first-year players Malcolm Lee at receiver and Vikaram Varpaul on offensive line were all wearing the Thunderbird’s blue and gold Saturday. Sadowski, Watson and Ganton were starters in the game, contributing to the first Vanier Cup championship by UBC since 1997. Sadowski, a defensive lineman for his first three seasons at UBC, missed the first half of the season due to injury, then returned to play on offense at the midway point. With Sadowski in the lineup, the T-Birds won their final continued on page 22
It was an unconventional victory – with a score more befitting of a peewee football game – but a victory nonetheless for the Surrey Eagles, who ended a month-long losing streak with an 11-8 win over the Merritt Centennials last Wednesday. The struggling BC Hockey League club – which had lost a dozen consecutive games prior to Wednesday’s win in Merritt – ended the slump in fine fashion, scoring more goals in one game than they had in the previous six combined. The Eagles trailed 3-2 after the opening 20 minutes, with Merritt’s Gavin Gould scoring the final two goals of the period, including a shorthanded marker with just 21 seconds remaining. Surrey poured on the offence over the final two periods, however, scoring four goals in the second period and five in the third to earn the win. Jeffrey Stewart led the Eagles’ offence with a sixpoint effort – including three goals – while four other players had three-point games. Tyler Andrews also had three goals, while John Wesley – who took over wearing the captain’s C when Kyle Star was traded to Trail last month – had two goals and one assist. Darius Davidson had a goal and two helpers, and Paul McAvoy and Trent Huitema had three and two assists, respectively, to round out the multi-point scorers. Daniel Davidson went the distance in net, stopping 40 of 48 Centennial shots. The victory gave the Eagles five on the season, though they weren’t able to make it two in a row Friday, after a 6-4 home-ice loss to the visiting West Kelowna Warriors. Surrey got off to a good start against the Warriors, with Wednesday’s goal-scoring leaders Andrews and Stewart each scoring again. The Eagles’ 2-1 lead evaporated quickly in the second period, however, as Kelowna potted a pair of quick goals – Kristian Blumenschein scored just 31 seconds into the period, and Rylan Yaremko gave his team the lead a minute-and-a-half later with a power-play goal. The Warriors tacked on two more goals before the second intermission, and the lead proved to be too much for Surrey to overcome, despite third-period scores from Darius Davidson and Stewart again. Eagles goalie Forbes Ploszaj was tagged with the loss for the home team, stopping 23 of 28 shots on goal before he was relieved by Daniel Davidson midway through the second period. The Eagles sit last in the BCHL’s Mainland Division with a 5-22-0-0 record (win-loss-tie-overtime loss), and are six points back of the Prince George Spruce Kings, who have lost four in a row. Surrey heads south to Washington this week for a two-game road trip to Wenatchee to face the Wild. The two squads will play Thursday and Friday, before the Eagles return home Sunday for a 4 p.m. game against the Nanaimo Clippers, who currently lead the Island Division with a 17-10-0-1 record.

It was a game of firsts for Vancouver Giants goalie Ryan Kubic Saturday afternoon in Oregon. The 17-year-old from St. Andrews, Manitoba stopped all 34 shots he faced, earning his first-ever win and his first shutout in the Western Hockey League with a 2-0 victory over the Portland Winterhawks. Drafted in the second round of the 2013 Bantam Draft, Kubic had played in just three games in the WHL prior to this season, and was winless in 10 starts so far this year. But he was perfect against Portland, stopping everything the Winterhawks fired his way. Tyler Benson set up Chase Lang for his fifth goal of the season to give the Giants a 1-0 lead in the first minute of the second period, then Benson tallied an insurance goal with less than

PORTLAND WINTERHAWKS PHOTO eight minutes to go. Benson, a first overall pick in the 2013 draft, has five goals and 11 points in 16 games played this season. Saturday’s win ended a six-game losing streak for the Giants, including two setbacks this week on the road against opposition from the U.S. Division. Last Wednesday
(Nov. 25), Vancouver lost 3-2 to the Spokane Chiefs. The home side scored twice on the powerplay and once while shorthanded to take a 3-0 lead with 10 minutes to play, before the Giants got a couple of goals in the final four minutes to make things interesting. Radovan Bondra netted the first goal
with 3:37 remaining, then Lang tallied just 40 seconds later, but the comeback fell a goal short. Friday in Kent, Washington, the Giants fell 5-3 to the Seattle Thunderbirds. Ty Ronning scored a powerplay goal for Vancouver in the first period, which ended with the teams tied 1-1. Seattle scored three times in

four regular season games and all four playoff games. Watson, who had a team high 57 receptions and 763 yards in his second season as a receiver, was also the main target Saturday. He tied a Vanier Cup record for most receptions in a game with 12 and finished with game-high 171 receiving yards, the longest for 36 yards. “I exceeded expectations this season,” said the former White Rock Titan. “I played a pretty critical role on the offense, and I was happy with that. It was like I was back in minor football.” The T-Birds were 2-2 in the Canada West conference midway through the season, but then reeled off four straight victories to place second. They then defeated the University of Manitoba Bisons 52-10 in a semifinal game, clinched the Canada West championship with a 34-26 victory over previously unbeaten Calgary, then handled the St. Francis Xavier X-Men 36-9 in Antigonish, Nova Scotia to qualify for the Vanier Cup. In the championship game, the Thunderbirds dominated the first half of play, and were up 16-0 late in the second quarter. The Carabins took advantage of a pair of UBC turnovers to score 10 points in the final three minutes of the first half to get back in the game, and
pulled even at 23-23 with eight minutes remaining. UBC attempted a field goal with 90 seconds remaining, but a bad snap turned the ball over. A.J. Blackwell then intercepted a Montreal pass at the Carabins 51-yard line 10 seconds later, giving the ball back to the T-Birds. Quarterback Michael O’Connor completed passes of 12 and eight yards to Watson,

putting the ball in field goal range. Three plays later, van Gylswyk ended the game with a 20-yard field goal. Prior to the game, Sadowski spoke of the importance of taking advantage of an opportunity to win a championship. “We won the B.C.’s (provincial championship) when I was a Grade 9 (at Seaquam Secondary) in Senior AA,” he said. “We were always projected to go far
in the playoffs, and we did go far, but we never won another championship. “Not a lot of guys get this chance. And for some guys, this could be their last game.” Q The CIS announced its award winners Thursday night at a banquet in Quebec City. Jamel Lyles of the University of Manitoba Bisons was selected a Second-team All-Canadian as a kick returner. The Surrey native was also one of four finalists for the Peter Gorman Trophy as Rookie of the Year, an honour which went to Mathieu Betts of the Laval Rouge et Or. Lyles, a graduate of Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary, was a Canada West All-star at both running back and kick returner. He led the conference with 1,564 all-purpose yards in eight games played. He ranked third in rushing with 691 yards, third in kickoff return yards with 407 and was second in punt return yardage with 344. He also caught 14 passes for 130 yards. Lyles scored seven touchdowns, five by rushing, one on a kickoff return and one on a punt return. “Jamel has had an outstanding season in his first year at Manitoba,” said Bisons head coach Brian Dobie. “I knew he was going to have an impact in his rookie season, but he far exceeded expectations and was a constant force on both offence and special teams.”

The lyrics from Don Henley`s The End of the Innocence– “lawyers dwell on small details “– proved to be true in the recent Supreme Court case of Matias v. Lou. The Judgment details precise shoulder movements over 15 medical visits to decide if the car crash caused a severe frozen shoulder.
Legal Services Directory
The Judge also relied on an ultra sound done three years after the collision to conclude the collision did not cause the frozen shoulder. Earlier imaging might have won the day. Following the collision the doctors focus on the immediate problems, not testing for future problems. By contrast, lawyers focus on the need to get evidence to help prove the long term consequences. As is often true, future complications were not known early on. Only with the most diligent of investigations can potentially important future problems be discovered and proven.

The Valley West Hawks put some distance between themselves and a pack of five teams chasing home-ice advantage for the BC Hockey Major Midget League playoffs. The Hawks swept the North Island Silvertips in a two-game series at the Langley Events Centre last weekend, remaining in second place but moving four points clear of the Okanagan Rockets and Cariboo Cougars, two teams which split a head-tohead series in Prince George. Valley West handled the Silvertips 4-1 Saturday morning and 2-1 Sunday afternoon, improving to 14-5-1 (win-loss-tie) at the midway point of the season. The Hawks remain one point behind the 14-4-2 Vancouver Giants, and are on track to achieving their preseason goal. “Our goal was to finish in the top three,” said head coach Jessie Leung. “First overall is a stretch goal, and it would be nice. But we’re more worried about the playoffs.” A top two finish would guarantee the Hawks home-ice advantage for the first two rounds of the playoffs, and likely avoid a road trip to Kelowna or Prince
test Sunday. Oliver Alcock opened the scoring for Valley West 12 minutes into the game on the powerplay. The Silvertips drew even 94 seconds into the second period, then Luka Burzan replied with the winning goal seven minutes before the second intermission. The Hawks will be at home twice next weekend, hosting the last place Kootenay Ice (2-17-1). Games times at the Langley Events Centre are 2 p.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. Sunday.
