SECOND CHANCE FOR CANCELLED FRENCH IMMERSION PROGRAM

▶ SURREY SCHOOL DISTRICT BELIEVES MORE TIME WILL IMPROVE REGISTRATION IN NEW COUGAR CREEK LANGUAGE PROGRAM SHEILA REYNOLDS

A French immersion program that was cancelled at Cougar Creek Elementary before it began last fall is getting a second chance. The new Surrey location of the kindergarten-entry language program was scheduled to open at the Newton-area elementary school last September. However, despite a lengthy district-wide waiting list, only 12 children enrolled, forcing the program’s cancellation. While more than 200 families were contacted and offered a spot, because it was so close to the beginning of the school year, most turned the opportunity down, citing transportation concerns. Now, the district wants to give it another shot, hoping that informing parents and the community well ahead of the new school year will draw more students. “While 12 students were not enough to make the program viable last September, we are hopeful with more time for parents to consider travel arrangements and more time to promote awareness of the program, we will get at least another half-dozen registrations to launch in the fall,” said Shawn Wilson, chairperson of the Surrey Board of Education.

▟ LANGLEY’S CHELSEA LYNN MIST JAMES DIED ON THE WEEKEND IN VANCOUVER DAN FERGUSON

The grieving family of a 23-year-old Langley woman killed in a party bus accident says Chelsea Lynn Mist James was on the bus to be safe. James, who worked as a teaching assistant in Surrey, died after she fell out of an open door when the bus turned from West Hastings to Burrard Street on Saturday night (Jan. 9) in Vancouver. She was attending a birthday party, the family said, and the bus was hired so no one would drink and drive. “We can’t fathom how she did everything right to be safe and responsible, and yet still lost her life,� mother Shelly James said during an interview aired by CTV News Vancouver. It’s not clear why the door was open. The accident is under investigation by the B.C. Coroner’s Service and VanChelsea Lynn Mist James. CTV NEWS couver Police. Her family said James was passionate about her job. Shelly James said her daughter “had a beautiful spirit.� “She shone like a diamond with her smile,� James told CTV. “Everyone who knew her loved her. She will be sadly missed and will leave a hole in our lives forever.� James’ death renewed calls for tougher restrictions on the party bus industry. After a series of deaths, often tied to under-age drinking or drug use, the province last year tightened licensing requirements for buses and limousines with perimeter seating, including mandatory display of a special licence plate to allow police checks.

Surrey’s Welcome Centre is in jeopardy ▟ DUE TO LACK OF FEDERAL FUNDING ASSURANCES, SCHOOL DISTRICT MAY HAVE TO SHUT DOWN KEY RESOURCE KEVIN DIAKIW

On the midst of a flood of Syrian refugees arriving in B.C. communities, including Surrey, a key service is under threat of shutting down due to lack of federal funding. The Welcome Centre, which is run by the Surrey School District, processes newcomers arriving in Surrey and helps assess the needs of immigrants and refugees. Started in 2007, its 40 employees have up to 10,000 client contacts annually. Almost three-quarters of the staff are federally funded. The newly elected federal Liberals have promised to bring 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada, with an estimated 800 to 1,000 coming to Surrey in the coming months. The Welcome Centre, located at 7525 King George Blvd., will be crucial in helping manage that influx, observers say. But the district says it will have to send out termination notices to staff by Jan. 30 unless it receives assurances from the federal government that $1.5 million in funding is coming. The future of the Welcome Centre has been in question for some time. About 18 months ago, the federal Conservatives put the immigrant services out to open tender, which the Surrey School District subsequently won. At the same time, funding had to be cut by about seven per cent annually because the Tories were going to slash some of the services, said Shawn Wilson, chair of the Surrey Board of Education. The Surrey contract ends on May 1. Due to conditions of the employment contract, the district has to give 90 days notice to Welcome Centre staff, meaning letters of termination will go out on Jan. 30 unless federal funding assurances are received. “The door is closing here – we are required to do things here by collective agreement,� Wilson told The Leader Wednesday, add-

ing the loss of the Welcome Centre would be a large impediment to the proper flow of refugee services in the city. “The noose is tightening,â€? Wilson said. In addition to ongoing federal support, the district is also asking for a bump in funding to hire extra personnel. “Processing the new (Syrian) refugee children will be a much greater workload,â€? Wilson said. “We have no confirmation of a (funding) bump and we have no confirmation that the contract will be extended. If they’re going to put it out to tender, we’re going to issue layoff notices right away, because we don’t know whether we’ll win the tender or not.â€? Ken Hardie, Liberal MP for Fleetwood-Port Kells, said he’s sent a letter to the federal minister responsible asking for bridge funding of three months so the Surrey district can properly bid on the work. “The previous government set up a horizon for their funding that ended on April 30,â€? Hardie said. He said he wants to assure services are continued and also that the Welcome Centre doesn’t lose valuable staff. “As soon as you send out any kind of layoff notice, people are going to start looking for other work,â€? Hardie said. “Our principle we go forward on, whether it’s this or infrastructure, or anything else, is that the funding be reliable and predictable and you’re not staring down deadlines like the one they have here.â€? As to the boost in funding for extra staff that the district is seeking, it poses more of a problem, Hardie said. There are two other centres in Metro Vancouver (located in Vancouver and Coquitlam) offering similar services as the â–ś “Processing Welcome Centre. Still, many newcomers who are cycled the new (Syrian) through those locations often refugee children land in Surrey because of lower housing costs. will be a Hardie said he and the school much greater district are on “the same pageâ€? and the services provided by workload.â€? the Welcome Centre are “really SHAWN WILSON needed.â€?

Board of Variance Volunteers Needed

Faster and more-effective help is on the way for drug addicts who have overdosed, as the province makes life-saving help a requirement for first responders. B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake was expected to announce today (Friday) that the province was implementing the new rule. Recently, a growing number of drug users have unwittingly ingested fentanyl, a drug 50 times more powerful than morphine. The result is often death. Key to rescuing them is a drug called Naxalone, or Narcan, which when injected in an overdosing patient will quickly neutralize the effects of opiates, including heroin and fentanyl. Crucial to effective treatment is a fast response. In Surrey, firefighters are the first to arrive at overdose incidents 91 per cent of the time, according to a Tuesday briefing note to Surrey council written by Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis.

“The Fraser Health chief medical officer and the vice-president of the Provincial Health Services Authority have asked the Surrey Fire Service to partner with them to assist in reducing overdose deaths in our community,” Garis writes in the memo. “The key intervention is the administration of Naloxone as soon as possible after a person has overdosed.” The province previousLen Garis ly implemented a “Take Home Naxalone” program, where addicts could have a dose of Narcan with them in case of an overdose. The program hasn’t stemmed the rising tide of fentanyl overdoses in Surrey or the region. Surrey Fire Services responded to 1,606 drug overdose calls last year. Lake was expected to make the announcement in Vancouver on Jan. 15, after The Leader’s press deadline.

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Fr iday Januar y 15 2016

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Is the weakening Canadian dollar going to impact you negatively or positively? To answer, go to the home page of our website at surreyleader.com

Last week we asked: Are you surprised by BC Assessment’s valuation of your home? Here’s how you responded:

Yes 48% No 52%

Building boom uncertainties Surrey has just recorded its second-highest total for building permits in history. The 2015 figure of $1.46 billion is second only to the 2007 total of $1.49 billion. The building boom continues unabated in the early weeks of 2016, but there are a number of uncertainties out there which may weigh in as the year progresses. One of the biggest ones is interest rates. The Bank of Canada is under pressure to keep rates low, due to job losses, falling commodity prices and other weaknesses in the Canadian economy. Those low interest rates are a lifeline to most home buyers, who otherwise could not afford to pay the going rate for housing. Whether they will continue is an open question. Another uncertainty is the state of the stock market. Much of the current turmoil is due to a lot of questions about what is happening with China’s businesses. This has many side effects, some of which spill right into the local housing market. Part of the ongoing dramatic rise in Lower Mainland real estate prices is due to offshore money coming into the market. Some of that is from China, as many wealthy residents have wanted to move some funds out of the country. They have looked at housing in desirable parts of the world,

and the Vancouver area is one of those areas. The many connections between China and B.C., not the least of which is the Pacific Ocean, make this area a destination for some of that Chinese money. While only a small portion of that money has come directly into the Surrey and Delta real estate markets, the bidding wars for properties in Vancouver, the North Shore, Burnaby and Richmond puts a lot of money into the pockets of the sellers. Many of those sellers then come to this area to buy. The current market turmoil in China means even more Chinese people might look to move some money out of the country. Canada will now be seen as even more desirable because of our current low dollar. In the short term, this will likely mean the booming local housing market continues. Surrey’s figures for 2015 show that more than $1 billion of construction was residential, with less than $200 million in commercial and just $57 million in institutional construction. A superficial comparison shows these figures are way out of balance. How can a city attract more than $1 billion in residential development and just issue $57 million in institutional permits? That means that

little is being built in the way of schools, hospitals, recreation centres and the other amenities that are absolute necessities as a city keeps growing. Surrey has had a deficit in this type of social infrastructure for decades and the 2015 building permit figures demonstrate just how it is continuing. This is a serious problem which requires attention and action from all levels of government. The commercial building figures are also surprisingly low and seem to indicate businesses in general are not willing to put a lot of money into new construction – perhaps due to concerns about how much money consumers will have left in their pockets after paying sky-high prices for housing. Almost $1.5 billion in construction activity is an important badge of achievement. The jobs and spinoff economic activity provided are significant in Surrey’s overall economy. However, the uncertainties are not going away. The biggest year of construction activity on record in Surrey was 2007. The next year, 2008, was when many elements of the worldwide economy faltered significantly. There are risks in 2016 which may lead to some similar challenges.

Lax U.S. gun laws spill over into Canada CHIEF CHATS ▼

Jim Cessford

I watched with interest as U.S. President Barack Obama recently spoke about gun regulations in his country. As he reflected on the estimated 30,000 people a year being killed by gun violence in the U.S., he was particularly emotional talking about the young children, teachers and parents at Sandy Hook Elementary School who were killed by an armed maniac. It is clear he has had enough of the partisan battles around gun laws. Obama finishes his term in early 2017, and in my view, his potential successors don’t bring much promise. The leading Republican candidate – Donald Trump – is a billionaire. Sources say he inherited most of his money from his parents and took over the family business, which ultimately went into bankruptcy. When his father passed away he inherited millions and again

began his business ventures. I laughed when I read an article by an editor in a Brandon, Manitoba newspaper who said that “Trump was born on third base and he thinks that he hit a triple.” It seems Trump is out of touch with reality. He has made inappropriate comments about women, Muslims and Mexicans. He has considered building a wall between Mexico and the United States and has even suggested Canadians coming into the U.S. may be more closely scrutinized (perhaps another wall). Some of his “ideas” have been compared to fascist regimes of the 1930s and 1940s. One of his biggest supporters is Vladimir Putin. Obama comes from a poor family and lived with his grandmother for much of his life. His education was supported by

various scholarships that he earned as a result of his academic achievements. He supported his family as a practising lawyer, without any inheritance or handouts. While serving as president he has worked hard to bring about gun reform, implemented a standard health care system, advocated for greater inclusiveness for LGBTQ communities and implemented several other positive initiatives. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 for “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.” I find it interesting that both Democratic and Republican candidates are proud of their leadership abilities and believe they are up for the challenge of becoming the next Commander in Chief.

But most are tied up in partisan politics and are committed to serving a small group of powerful lobbyists, rather than doing what is best for the greater good. As Canadians we have a difficult time imagining opposition to tougher gun legislation, which is the outgoing president’s current focus, and perhaps his legacy. Sadly, those lax gun laws in the U.S. spill over into Canada, when legally acquired American guns illegally end up in the hands of Canadian criminals. The political environment in the U.S. can and does impact Canada. Our future is bright, but I’m not sure about our neighbours to the south. The next few months should be interesting.

Massey open houses not so open ▶ MORE CONVENIENT CONSULTATION NEEDED FOR HUGE PROJECT

I am a constituent of Delta MP Carla Qualtrough. I have many concerns about the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project and would very much appreciate some answers to a number of questions in relationship to this project. Only in the last week have ads appeared in the papers announcing Information meetings and requesting comments in regards to the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project. The deadline for the comments is Jan. 28, however, there are only two open houses available for the public, both of which take place near the end of the comment stage: Jan. 26 at a Richmond Hotel and Jan. 27 at a Delta Hotel. This leaves very little time for the public to research, study and verify any information that is given at the public meetings. My own experience in similar situations is that public meetings often present information that is not available or has been changed from what appears in the online versions. Giving the public only 48 and/ or 24 hours to attend, study, research and then comment is ludicrous. Additionally, both of these venues are extremely difficult to access by public transit and therefore could present a

▼ CANADA POST NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAIL BOX THEFTS Again this evening, I went to our complex clubhouse only to find a notice on the door that another break-in was attempted and our mail boxes (which are housed inside) were compromised. This happens every other month now... for the last 11 years. We are at the mercy of thieves because they know that the mail boxes Canada Post provides are flimsy and easy targets. We as member of the complex have done our part time and time again by replacing alarm systems, entry systems, video surveillance systems and even replacing the boxes at our cost. But it has all been in vain. The continued thefts of our mail goes on. Since Canada Post doesn’t want to be in the business of mail delivery, I feel that all delivery to these useless mail boxes should be stopped. Stop the door-to-door delivery and stop the box delivery. Instead,the mail should be delivered to the local post office for pickup. This is the only way to ensure it is safe and secure and everyone is guaranteed their mail. Each postal outlet should be open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day, seven days a week and each location should be retrofitted to ensure that anyone with a mobility issue can easily make it into the outlet. This should come at the cost of Canada Post. This solution in the long run will benefit Canada Post because it won’t have to hire mail delivery personnel which means fewer salaries, benefits and pensions paid out to. Sandra Steffan Newton

problem for members of the public wishing to attend. Nor are these locations which can be accessed by foot or bicycle. The Town and Country Hotel is located where there are absolutely no sidewalks or side roads. I would suggest that there should be information meetings held in Ladner, Tsawwassen, White Rock and South Surrey, in central locations that will be accessible by all forms of transportation. This would not then exclude members of the public who cannot or do not care to drive to these open houses. It is also important that these meetings are live-streamed and/or put on the Internet. I would suggest that a similar program be implemented in the various areas of Richmond which would be more accessible to the public. This is a huge project that will leave a significant monetary and environmental footprint if it goes forward as planned. Will Qualtrough, or any other MP whose constituencies will be affected by this project, be attending and commenting on these open houses? Will you send out to your constituents your comments and recommendations regarding this project? Since this bridge project will require federal dollars and is just now undertaking the environmental review, will it be required to conform to the new procedures and standards promised by the Liberals during the election campaign?

RCMP volunteers reined in ▼ AUXILIARY COPS PERFORM VALUABLE SERVICE, SAVE MONEY

The RCMP Auxiliary Constable Program has been reduced to shreds. Why would Surrey prefer to pay thousands of dollars in overtime, as opposed to having volunteers at events and doing patrols to keep our neighbourhoods safe? The ride-along program has been pulled nationally, and the only time auxiliaries can now wear a uniform is if we are at a community event with a regular

member of the RCMP. We used to volunteer at many events and are fully aware of any and all risks associated to the volunteer program. The big wigs in Ottawa no longer want to support the program due to the Alberta shooting of a regular member and auxiliary at a casino, and due to the shooting in Ottawa of a soldier. We are unarmed volunteers and with all due respect, the Alberta incident involved a member who was armed and could not stop the threat, and the Ottawa incident involved a soldier who was shot from behind, and could not have stopped the shooting even

▶ DO YOUR OWN CALCULATIONS BEFORE PAYING YOUR PROPERTY TAXES If property assessments reflect a rise in property values, the mill rate from the previous year should be lowered or stay the same. This is not happening. What is happening is that when property assessments go up in value, municipal governments are raising the mill rate. That is wrong and taxpayers are paying too

if he was armed. Why they are basing the decision to rein in the auxiliary program based on these events makes no sense. It will cost cities thousands of dollars in overtime to properly police huge events such as Vaisakhi, Canada Day, etc. It will greatly reduce the police presence in our city, and many more cities, and once again – the bad guys win. Every event or patrol we did in Surrey was extremely well-received by the public and the thank-yous were plenty. All auxiliary volunteers are well aware of the risks involved and yet we still went out and did our

much on their property taxes. The property tax formula is assessment value times mill rate, divided by 1,000. For example, if the tax assessment is $500,000, the calculation is $500,000 multiplied by the mill rate, divided by 1,000. In 2015, if the mill rate was six, the property tax would be $3,000. If this assessment went up to $550,000 keeping the mill rate the same as in 2015, the property tax would be $3,300. Raising the mill rate to 6.5 would put the property tax at $3,575, so in reality, the rule of thumb is never raise the

job with smiles and professionalism and enjoyed every minute of it. Many of us now patrol our streets as regular members and the auxiliary program was the gateway to us deciding to do this. Last year, Surrey auxiliaries volunteered more than 20,000 hours. Imagine if those were paid overtime hours. We have always had the support of the City of Surrey and the mayor’s office, and now we are being negatively impacted. What a sad and unfortunate day it is for Surrey. Bonnie Mellor, Surrey

mill rate when property assessments are on the increase. Also a rule of thumb – before paying your tax bill, check all of the assessments on the street you live on to compare your property to your neighbour’s property assessment. You will find some big surprises, letting you know that you are paying your taxes in July on bogus tax assessments.

Supreme Court in New Westminster. At his trial in October, the court heard Plehanov was with a friend and his family in Surrey on Easter Sunday in 2013 when the girl fell as she reached for some candy. As Plehanov caught her, he touched her pelvic area and buttocks and put his hand inside the front of her waistband.

A Surrey soccer coach arrested a year ago in Washington and accused of pursuing sex with a 12-year-old girl has pleaded guilty to the crime. According to a news release issued by the U.S. Department of Justice, Kuldip “Kelly” Singh Mahal made the plea Tuesday (Jan. 12) in U.S. District Court in Seattle. A jury trial on the matter had been scheduled to get underway next Tuesday (Jan. 19). Mahal, 47, is set to be sentenced on April 1. Under a plea agreement, a prison term of between 78 and 108 months (six-and-a-half to nine years) is to be recommended, however, a sentence of up to 30 years is possible. Mahal, who was a volunteer coach for a Surrey United U16 boys team at the time, was arrested Feb. 3, 2015 at a park in Burlington, Wash. – after crossing into the U.S. at Blaine – where he was expecting to meet a young girl whom he believed he had enticed into having sex with him. Court documents filed at the time note Mahal had responded to a “casual encounters” post on Craigslist the month before, not realizing he was communicating with an undercover agent. “Mahal believed he had been corresponding with a 12-year-old girl, but in fact he sent multiple sexually explicit messages and photos to an undercover agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations,” Tuesday’s release states. “Mahal continued to communicate with the undercover agent even after the agent claimed she was 12 years old. In fact, Mahal sent sexually explicit photos of himself and repeatedly requested the “girl” send sexually explicit photos of herself back to him.” Word of the arrest resulted in Mahal’s suspension from Surrey United Soccer Club. Under the terms of the plea agreement, Mahal is to undergo a psycho-sexual evaluation before sentencing, the release adds. Based on the results, prosecutors could recommend up to lifetime supervision. Mahal will also be required to register as a sex offender.

Fraser Valley home prices not as hot as Vancouver BLACK PRESS

The red hot market for homes in Vancouver last year was noticeably cooler further east in the Fraser Valley. The benchmark price of detached houses across the Valley climbed 17.3 per cent to $672,400 in 2015, according to the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, which includes Surrey, North Delta and White Rock in its region. Year-end statistics show townhomes in the Fraser Valley were up 9.6 per cent to $321,800 while condos gained 7.2 per cent to a benchmark $204,900. On the north side of the Fraser River, the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reported its benchmark detached house price was up 24.3 per cent to $1.248 million. Townhouses there were up 13.6 per cent to $543,700 and condos gained 14 per cent to $436,200. But the largest single increase in the Greater Vancouver board’s area wasn’t in Vancouver, but for detached houses in Tsawwassen, which were up 32.2 per cent. Even with that gain, a benchmark Tsawwassen house at just over $1 million is barely a third the cost of its $2.88-million equivalent on

Vancouver’s west side. The fastest price gains in the Fraser Valley were for detached houses in North Delta, which were up nearly 26 per cent to $703,100, followed by White Rock/South Surrey, where benchmark houses were up 18.4 per cent to $1.1 million.

Syrian refugees pepper sprayed at ‘welcome night’ in Vancouver

House price increases were significantly lower than of those north of the Fraser River last year. LEADER FILE

The pepper spraying of a group of Syrian refugees and their supporters in Vancouver last Friday night is being investigated as a hate crime. The large crowd of men, women and children were outside the the Muslim Association of Canada Centre after a “welcome night” event for newly arrived refugees when they were pepper sprayed by a man in a white hoodie riding a bicycle. More than a dozen people were treated for exposure to pepper spray. Vancouver Police say no arrests have been made. The incident was condemned by various politicians, including the prime minister. The Muslim Association of Canada said the incident was

“regrettable” but stressed it is “dwarfed by the level of generosity and welcome from Canadians across the country.” The Syrian Canadian Council of B.C. said a “very small minority” fear refugees and called it an “isolated act” that doesn’t reflect Canadian values. “What have happened last night will not shake our confidence and faith in our fellow Canadians.”

Rental dispute fee doubles Tenants who take disputes with their landlords to the Residential Tenancy Branch now have to pay twice as much after the B.C. government approved fee increases in late December. The fee for a dispute resolution application filed by a renter doubled to $100 from $50. And an appeal review now costs $50, up from $25. Landlords must pay the fees if the branch finds in favour of the tenant. Critics predict the fee increases will deter some tenants from seeking recourse when landlords break the law. The province says it will use the extra fee revenue to hire new arbitrators, reducing the wait for urgent hearings. Fees have also been raised for landlords seeking to impose extraordinary rent increases.

$5.2M more in bridge tolls flows to TransLink ▶ USE OF GOLDEN EARS BRIDGE UP IN 2015 – HELPING ASSESSMENT OF FUTURE TOLLS ON PATTULLO, MASSEY BRIDGES JEFF NAGEL

More drivers were willing to pay to use the Golden Ears Bridge in 2015. TransLink reported a more than 15 per cent increase in bridge tolls collected there for the first nine months of the year. The transportation authority is now forecasting it will collect $48.7 million in Golden Ears tolls for all of 2015, up nearly $5.2 million from what it budgeted, and it anticipates further growth of 4.1 per cent in 2016. The toll was increased in July to $3.10 per crossing for users with the TReO decal ($4.35 for unregistered users) and a similar increase for inflation is expected in 2016. Meanwhile, the tolling equipment at the Golden Ears is slated for replacement at a cost of $5 million in 2016 even though the bridge is only six and a half years old. TransLink’s capital budget cites “obsolescence and end of service life” for the need to replace the roadside technology and back office systems. Growth in traffic over the bridge in part reflects an increase in driving in general within Metro Vancouver as well as a rise in vehicles purchased, according to TransLink. That also helped boost TransLink’s take from its 17-cent-a-litre gas tax – that was up about $8 million or 3.1 per cent in the first nine months of the year.

A last-minute rush by regular transit users to get Compass cards now that paper monthly passes are no longer sold temporarily overwhelmed TransLink staff over the weekend. It led to complaints of long waits to get customer service help by phone and excessive hours-long delays for passes bought on new Compass cards to become active in users’ accounts. Lloyd Bauer, TransLink’s vice-president heading the Compass project, said passes and stored value purchased online for Compass accounts are supposed to be usable within two hours, adding TransLink is working with the system contractor to get the delay down to that target. Passes or value added to Compass cards at station vending machines or at London Drugs outlets did not have a delay problem and were available immediately. He suggested the delay for online transactions was temporary because of the roughly 70,000 new Compass users who signed up in the first few days of 2016 – a huge jump from the rate of 1,000 to 2,000 per day previously. “The last few days have been a big challenge for our system,” Bauer said. “We expect that this peak we are getting now is an unusual peak.” About 450,000 out of roughly 800,000 regular transit users in Metro Vancouver are now using Compass cards. Bauer said more people are getting the hang of how to use the new payment card and that they must tap out as they exit a station or else they’ll be charged the maximum three zones even if they’ve only travelled one zone. About 80 per cent of cards are now being tapped out on exit, up from 70 per cent earlier in the fall. It’s not clear how many of the remaining 20 per cent are

TransLink vice-president Lloyd Bauer is heading the rollout of the Compass card payment system. JEFF NAGEL paying too much as a result of failing to tap. There’s currently one gate left open at each station, while the rest are closed and Bauer encourages passengers to use the closed gates to make sure they tap out. He said most passengers are happy with the new system once their card is set up. Unlike with old paper passes and prepaid tickets, Compass holders need never go to a retail dealer again if they set their account to activate a new pass each month or to automatically reload stored value when their card’s balance runs low. TransLink also says it will stop distributing FareSaver tickets to retailers this month, although the booklets of 10 prepaid tickets may be sold at some locations beyond January until they run out. FareSavers will still be valid until there’s a final decision to

close the last faregates on the system – there’s still no target date for when that will happen – after which unused FareSavers can be converted to Compass card stored value. Bauer said passengers can be stopped and fare checked by Transit Police carrying mobile Compass readers. They can issue fines to people who enter through open gates without tapping in with their card or otherwise carrying a valid fare. Concerns have also been raised by some seniors that concession Compass cards aren’t available at Compass vending machines in stations. TransLink says that’s not unusual – concession passes were only sold through retailers in the past, not the machines. Concession passes can be bought at participating retailers, as well as online through compasscard.ca

Feds won’t halt pipeline twinning review ▶ OTTAWA TO AWAIT NEB RECOMMENDATION JEFF NAGEL

The federal Liberals are revealing little of how they intend to revamp the system to review new oil pipelines, a promise made during last year’s election. Natural Resources Canada indicated it won’t short-circuit the National Energy Board (NEB) review of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline twinning, which enters oral hearings next week and will be allowed to proceed to deliver a recommendation by a May 20 deadline. “The National Energy Board is conducting a thorough, science-based review of the proposed project,” department spokesperson Micheline Joanisse told Black Press by email. “The Government of Canada will await the recommendation from the Board before making a decision,

or making any further comments on the project.” The federal response came after the B.C. government told the NEB that Kinder Morgan has not met the five conditions set out by the province (see page 17.) Opponents of the $6.8-billion pipeline project had hoped the province’s stance would trigger more decisive federal action. Prior to forming government, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had vowed to modernize the NEB to restore public trust to the process and Joanisse reiterated that pledge to introduce “credible and robust” environmental and regulatory reviews. “Our plan will include a transition period for projects currently under review to provide some certainty through the modernization process,” she said. “No project proponent will be asked to return to square one.” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the federal Liberals suddenly seem to be taking a different tone

on the project’s review now that they’re in power. “When now-Prime Minister Trudeau was running he said this process wasn’t science-based, that it was in fact ignoring important environmental issues, that it wasn’t considering climate change,” Corrigan said. “I don’t see how this government can be in Paris claiming to be part of an avant garde movement to try to deal with climate change worldwide and at the

same time say that the National Energy Board, which is full of hacks from the oil industry, is doing a science-based review.” Corrigan said the NEB process is fundamentally flawed and can’t be fixed with minor tweaks or some sort of secondary panel review to plug gaps in the first one. The new government has inherited an NEB that includes several board members appointed or reappointed by the Conservatives in the dying days of their

mandate. Among them is Steven Kelly, a consultant who previously worked for Kinder Morgan preparing the economic case for Trans Mountain. He isn’t sitting on that review but his appointment in July, effective Oct. 13, led to a delay in the review while his evidence was replaced. A new report from the NEB on a public engagement tour it conducted last year contains various pledges from the federal regulator to improve public trust in its work. They include full public consultation on company emergency response plans – a contentious point in the Kinder Morgan review – and improved disclosure of information to the public, through an online pipeline incident map and NEB inspection reports. A regional office has also been opened in Vancouver. The NEB is having to rapidly adapt to a new era of intense public scrutiny, the report says.

B.C. opposed to pipeline expansion ▶ TRANS MOUNTAIN PROJECT HASN’T MET PROVINCE’S CONDITIONS TOM FLETCHER

The B.C. government is close to releasing its plan to provide “world-leading” prevention and response to land-based oil spills, but that progress isn’t enough to change its opposition to the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. Environment Minister Mary Polak announced Monday the province’s final submission to the federal review of the project confirms it still has not met B.C.’s five conditions for approval of heavy oil pipelines. Polak said she is preparing to present legislation

this spring to establish new standards for land protection, after discussions with Trans Mountain operator Kinder Morgan Canada and other companies. B.C.s final submission to the National Energy Board continues to recommend the pipeline twinning not be approved, but Polak said that is not the final word. “We have been encouraged by the number of government and industry leaders who have also taken up the challenge and accepted the need to proceed along our five conditions, but we have not at this time seen evidence in the NEB hearing process that those conditions can yet be met,” Polak said. B.C.’s five conditions, presented in 2012, include

NEB approval, “world-leading” land and marine spill prevention and response, meeting legal obligations to aboriginal communities and an unspecified “fair share” of provincial benefits from any new heavy oil pipeline project. Kinder Morgan issued a statement Monday saying it continues to work with B.C., but requirements for aboriginal consultation, spill prevention and revenue sharing can’t be met by the company alone. The project already faces 150 draft conditions from the NEB, in what Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson has called “the most highly scrutinized pipeline project by the NEB in history.” The NEB is expected to hear intervenor arguments

starting Jan. 19 in Burnaby, including affected municipalities. Vancouver is also opposed, arguing that a seven-fold increase in crude oil tanker traffic on Burrard Inlet represents an unacceptable risk. The Trans Mountain pipeline has been operating one line for 60 years, running from northern Alberta through the B.C. Interior at Kamloops to its marine terminal in Burnaby. A branch line runs south to supply oil refineries on the coast of Washington state, and the pipeline has already been twinned on the Alberta side. Kinder Morgan is hoping for an NEB decision to recommend proceeding by May. Final approval is up to the federal cabinet.

Site C dam contract tallies $1.75 billion ▶ EIGHTYEAR PROJECT INCLUDES CONSTRUCTION OF CAMP TO HOUSE 1,500 WORKERS

JEFF NAGEL

BC Hydro has signed its main civil works contract for the Site C dam on the Peace River, for an eight-year project expected to cost $1.75 billion and generate 8,000 person-years of employment. The contract is with Peace River Hydro Partners, made up of Petrowest Corp. of Calgary, ACCIONA Infrastructure Canada, a

division of a Spanish construction firm, and Samsung C&T Canada Ltd., a division of the Korean engineering and electronics company. The contract covers construction of the earth-fill dam, two diversion tunnels and a concrete foundation for the generating station and spillways. Site preparation work is underway for the third dam on the Peace River

near Fort St. John, and a work camp capable of hosting up to 1,500 workers is under construction. NDP leader John Horgan and B.C. Federation of Labour president Irene Lanzinger both denounced the lack of job guarantees for B.C. workers in the contract. BC Hydro says three quarters of the workers currently on the site are from B.C.

ask yourself several questions. Does anything surprise you? Is there anything you regret spending money on last year? Are you spending on average more each month than you earn? On average, how much did you put towards savings each month? How much did you pay in credit card interest in 2015? How did any investments do compared to previous years? Write down key observations before moving to the next steps.

Set broad goals Based on what you discover during your review, identify two to five goals that would help improve your finances in 2016. Target the areas that surprised you the most that you can change for the better. For example, if your average expenses were well over your household income, you may want to focus on this.

much greater control over unproductive spending habits.

Check in with your financial advisor

Create an action plan Now that you know where you’re going (your goals), think of some small, but consistent steps you can take in order to get there. This is your action plan for 2016. While your goals are broad, your action plan needs to be as specific as possible. This includes developing a budget for the coming year. Based on your known or expected household income, allocate monthly spending amounts to recurring financial needs and obligations, as well as personal financial priorities such as RRSPs and RESPs. Remember to set aside amounts for debt repayment and savings, if these are part of your improvement plan. To do this, you may need to temporarily reduce spending in areas such as entertainment, recreation, eating out, and discretionary shopping. By clearly committing an amount in your budget to areas where you’ve overspend in the past, you will be able to exercise

As a final but important step, consider setting up an appointment to meet with a financial advisor early in the new year. This review may lead to changes or additions to your goals as you discuss strategies and opportunities. For example, financial institutions like Coast Capital Saving Savings offer a proprietary Money Chat that can highlight ways to manage, save, grow, and protect your money in the coming year. Be open to new ideas and look for ways to incorporate them into your action plan. As we kick off 2016, I hope you take the time to get the big picture on your personal finances and enjoy the peace of mind that comes from understanding what you need to achieve financial well-being. I wish you a happy and prosperous new year. Kathy McGarrigle is Chief Operating Officer for Coast Capital Savings (www. coastcapitalsavings.com), Canada’s largest credit union by membership.

Business groups scrap over name ▶ VANCOUVER BOARD OF TRADE WANTS TO ADD ‘GREATER’ TO ITS NAME TO REFLECT REGIONAL ROLE JEFF NAGEL

A turf war has broken out between two of Metro Vancouver’s biggest business advocacy groups. The Vancouver Board of Trade (VBOT) wants to formally change its name to the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade and will put that proposal to a vote of its members today (Friday).

Anita Huberman

The Surrey Board of Trade opposes the move as a hostile attempt by the Vancouver board to represent the entire Metro region, including Surrey. “The Vancouver Board of Trade does not speak on behalf of the region’s business community,” said Anita Huberman, the Surrey Board of Trade’s CEO. VBOT Chair Tim

Manning said the proposed change merely reflects the reality that VBOT has championed issues region-wide for decades. “In changing our name, the board believes we will better reflect our regional advocacy efforts and the 5,000 members that we represent – nearly half of whom make their living or own businesses that operate outside the City of Vancouver,” he said. Manning claimed the VBOT’s efforts over the years helped lead to the creation of the YVR airport authority, the implementation of NEXUS and the rescue of the Canada Line after mayors initially voted it down. He denied the move is an attempt to supplant local chambers of commerce, adding VBOT provides a credit to its members to encourage them to join their local chamber as well. Huberman said chambers and boards of trade should work together collaboratively across the region, and channel funding through the B.C. Chamber of Commerce when a regional voice for business is needed on urgent economic and infrastructure issues. “Individual boards or chambers should not seek to represent the collective interests of all business in the region,” she said.

Ferries, union reach deal BLACK PRESS

BC Ferries and the BC Ferry and Marine Workers’ Union have ratified a five-year agreement that provides for wage increases of 8.55 per cent by its expiry in October 2020. BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan described the wage and benefit provisions of the new contract as “fair and modest,” noting that the latest agreement means the coastal ferry service will have gone 17 years without a labour dispute affecting its operations. The agreement, ratified by members after it was endorsed by the union executive in October, provides average pay increases of 1.71 per cent per year. There are about 3,500 union members working for BC Ferries.

English language training available for refugees ▶ DELTA SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFERS FREE PROGRAMS BLACK PRESS

As Syrian refugees continue to arrive in the Metro Vancouver area, including in Delta, many are looking for English language training courses. The Delta School District, through Delta Community College and Continuing Education, has spaces available in its

Language Instruction for Newcomers (LINC) classes and in English Foundation courses. High school completion programs are also available. LINC classes are free, basic English language courses for adults. They are open to permanent residents and convention refugees over the age of 17, and for holders of Code 27 visa work permits. The program is funded by the federal government, through Citizenship and Immi-

gration Canada. Immigrants wishing to become Canadian citizens should attend LINC classes. Visit www.listn.info/site/ for more details about the LINC program. Foundation classes include free English classes for a variety of adult clients in levels from basic literacy up to a Grade 10 equivalent and are funded by the B.C. Ministry of Education. In Delta, the school district offers LINC classes in North Delta

and Foundation classes in both North Delta and Ladner. The Ladner classes are currently held in the mornings at Delta Manor Education Centre and the North Delta program takes place at Delta Community College. Advisors are available by appointment at either centre. Additional classes might be made available if there is sufficient demand. For more information, sponsors or interested clients should

MacGyver-like repairman to appear in a scene. In January 2013, at the age of 89, Dann sold the building and closed the business. At the time, friend Alan Clegg recalled Dann delivering merchandise and making service calls on weekends, and always taking the time to talk with his customers. “He was also one of the nicest guys you’d ever run into, so he will be missed for sure,” said Clegg, a former volunteer fire

district chief who served with Dann in the 1970s. Dann’s encyclopedic knowledge – from names of former customers to the locations of long-gone buildings – made him a valuable source. “You could go in and see him about Surrey history at any time,” Clegg said this week. “He had a great memory.” Dann’s gift was his accessibility. “So many people knew him. To be able to pick his brain is what we’ll miss the most.” Dann remained part of the Cloverdale social circle as the years advanced, meeting friends

for breakfast and having lunch monthly as recently as November with a group of retired local businessmen at the Cloverdale Legion. He’s survived by his wife of nearly 66 years, Brenda, four children – Kathleen, John, Bruce and Brenda – six grandchildren and one grandchild born in October. A private service for family has already been held. A celebration of his life will take place Saturday, Jan. 16 at Newlands Golf and Country Club 21025 48 Ave., Langley, beginning at 1 p.m.

Crafty comfort for breast cancer survivors

▶ SURREY SENIORS MAKING ‘KNITTED KNOCKERS’ FOR WOMEN WHO HAVE HAD MASTECTOMIES MELISSA SMALLEY

Florence Brownridge knows you don’t have to look very far to find someone who has been affected by breast cancer. The South Surrey resident said it’s rare for a week to go by without learning an old acquaintance, a friend of a friend or a family member has been diagnosed with or treated for the disease. So when Brownridge came across a story in 2014 about a woman in Bellingham making knitted prostheses for women who had undergone mastectomies, she was inspired to follow suit. “I can’t do a lot, but I can knit, and I knew I could find some other knitters, so I phoned her,” Brownridge said. She was given a pattern for the prostheses – dubbed ‘knitted knockers’ by the founding crafter, a Maine woman who herself underwent a mastectomy – and rounded up fellow knitters Thelma Kilburn and Dorothy Filsinger. Since they first began making the knitted knockers a year-and-ahalf ago, the group has grown to six knitters, who have made and donated “hundreds” of the prostheses. Recipients have included patients at Mount Saint Joseph Hospital in Vancouver, Richmond Hospital, the BC Cancer Agency and a local breast-cancer support group that meets at Crescent Gardens Retirement Community. The response, according to the knitters, has

been “very positive.” “It can cost around $400 for breast prostheses, and they can’t be worn for up to six weeks after surgery,” Browndridge said of traditional medical devices often used by women post-mastectomy. “We have been told that they are heavy, warm and uncomfortable. Whereas these aren’t.” Filsinger, who herself underwent a lumpectomy and radiation six years ago after a breast-cancer diagnosis, recently returned from Mexico where she delivered a pair to an acquaintance. “She was thrilled with them,” Filsinger said. “They were likely to start a knitting group of their own down there.” The “knockers” are made from high-quality cotton yarn and filled with polyester fibre fill, which can be added or removed to attain the desired firmness. Each one takes about two hours to make, depending on the speed of the knitter and the size – the pattern ranges from A cup to E cup. They are generally made with pastel-coloured yarn – however, the group has filled special colour requests in the past – and are also hand-washable. Though the local group is one of only a handful in the Lower Mainland, the ‘knitted knocker’ movement has gained plenty of support around the world, Brownridge said, noting groups have been formed as far away as Australia, Cambodia, Finland and Singapore. The group’s Bellingham counterparts have made and distributed more than 5,000 since its inception, and the online pattern for the knockers has been downloaded more than 65,000 times over the past two years. While the group has

had no trouble recruiting knitters to help with the cause, they are now trying to get the word out to the women who may benefit from a pair of knitted knockers. “It’s getting the word out to people,” Kilburn said. “Because once people get them, they’re thrilled.” Requests for a free pair – the group won’t charge money for the knockers, but would welcome donations to help pay for the wool – can be emailed to thelmakilburn@shaw.ca In the meantime, the group will keep knitting away, motivated by the grateful response they’ve received, including one woman who said they’re providing a “huge mental and physical boost to people at a very vulnerable time in their lives.” “When you hear something like that, you

Dorothy Filsinger, Thelma Kilburn and Florence Brownridge have made hundreds of ‘knitted knockers,’ to donate to women who have undergone mastectomies. MELISSA SMALLEY feel that you’re doing something worthwhile,” Brownridge said. To find out more

A handful of times throughout this BC Hockey League season, the Surrey Eagles have found themselves on the wrong end of a lopsided score. But last weekend – for the first time all season – the tables were turned, and it was the Eagles’ doling out the punishment, beating the Trail Smoke Eaters 9-5 Sunday at South Surrey Arena. The big

goals in each of the first two periods, at one point leading 8-1, before a pair of power-play goals from the Smoke Eaters made it closer before the second intermission. Defenceman Nick Azar led the charge offensively for the Eagles, scoring once and adding three assists, while Donovan Ott had two goals and an assist. The rest of the goals were distributed evenly throughout the rest of the roster, with Tyler Andrews, Matthew Hermary, Kurt Black, Matthew Brown, Jack-

son Joseph and Brett Stewart adding single markers. Goaltender Daniel Davidson made 36 saves to earn the win. And though there aren’t many things that can overshadow a ninegoal performance, the goaltending performance of 20-year-old Justin LaForest in Friday’s 2-2 tie may have done just that. The veteran keeper stopped 63 shots in the effort against Prince George, a performance Neufeld called “tremendous.” “You don’t like to give

up that many shots, and there’s definitely some things we want to clean up (defensively) after that one, but he was exceptional,” the coach said. “Games like that for a goaltender are few and far between. We really wanted to get the win for him – it didn’t quite happen, but he was outstanding.” Joseph – who has two goals in two games since joining the Eagles last week – and Ott each scored for Surrey in the tie. The undefeated weekend comes on the heels

of a winless road trip through the Okanagan earlier this month – the team’s games after the Christmas break, and the modest point streak bumped the team’s overall record to 6-310-2 (win-loss-overtime loss-tie). Sunday also marked the Canadian Junior Hockey League’s trade deadline, at which time all Junior A teams across the country must get numbers down to 22 carded players. Surrey was quiet on the trade front, with Neufeld making his roster tweaks ahead of the deadline. Since early December, the team has made a handful of moves, and signed a number of Junior B players to the active roster, among them Hunter Kero,

Rob Johnson and Matt Brown. Earlier this month, the team also signed Austin Anselmo from the Kootenay International Junior League’s Nelson Leafs, and last week added Joseph from Beaver Valley and Logan Mostat, from Chase, of the same league. “The moves we’re making give us a jump on next year,” Neufeld said of his Junior B additions. “These are guys who were just on the cusp of making Junior A teams at the start of the year – they were late cuts, things like that – and a lot of them, they don’t need a full season of junior ‘B’ to get to that next level. For us, it’s essentially early recruiting, being able to bring these guys in.”

Local curlers keeping busy BLACK PRESS

It’s shaping up to be a busy next few weeks for a pair of Cloverdale curlers. Tyler and Jordan Tardi – and their coach, Paul Tardi – will represent B.C. later this month at 2016 Canadian Junior Curling Championships in Stratford, Ont. In addition to Tyler (skip) and Jordan (second), the Langley Curling Club-based team also includes Daniel Wenzek, Nicholas Meister and Sterling Middleton. The national showdown wraps up Jan. 31. From there, Jordan Tardi, Wenzek and Meister will head to Nelson for BC Men’s Curling Championships, which are set for Feb. 10-14, while Tyler Tardi and Middleton will board a plane for Lillehammer, Norway, where they’ll represent Canada at the Youth Olympic Games, which run from Feb. 12-21.

KPU basketball teams winless on Vancouver Island ary graduate Kyanith Thapa was the top scorer for KPU with 17 points, with Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary graduate Nick Smith achieving the double double with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Devin Cvitanovich came off the bench to score 11 points. A day later in Nanaimo, the undefeated Mariners sprinted to a 29-11 lead after 10 minutes and stretched it to 51-19 by halftime. Moeiz Athaya led the Eagles with 15 points. Joshua Kurucz was the only other player to score in double figures, netting 13 points. The KPU Eagles women’s team is also seeking its first victory of the season, and finds itself three games out of a playoff position after two losses on Vancouver Island. Desiree Lister paced KPU with 13 points in an 86-43 loss to the Camosun Chargers Friday night. Lister netted another 11 points to go with a team-best eight rebounds Saturday in Nanaimo, where the Eagles lost 70-43 to the Vancouver Island Mariners. The two KPU teams will play Friday in New Westminster against the Douglas College Royals and Saturday in North Vancouver against the Capilano Blues.

Grey Cup coming to Surrey NICK GREENIZAN

Edmonton Eskimos kicker Sean Whyte – a Surrey resident and Semiahoo Secondary alum – is bringing the Grey Cup home later this month. The 30-year-old veteran of the Canadian Football League – who won his first Canadian Football League championship last November – said via Twitter this week that he will be bringing the prestigious trophy to Surrey Sunday (Jan. 24). Whyte told The Leader he will have the trophy at Bennett Craft and Kitchen (187 176 St., near the Pacific Highway border crossing) from about 6:30-9 p.m. that day. “Can’t wait to show everyone,” he tweeted. Also this week, it was announced that Whyte – who joined the Eskimos midway through last season – would be back in Edmonton for another year, after signing a one-year contract with the team Monday.
