‘NO LEADERSHIP’ ▶ SURREY COUNCILLOR SLAMS PROVINCE'S LACK OF ACTION REGARDING OVERCROWDED SCHOOLS KEVIN DIAKIW

In an email not meant for public consumption, a Surrey councillor is taking direct aim at the province for a lack of leadership when it comes to funding schools. Last week, Coun. Barbara Steele sent an email to a Surrey resident, criticizing the lack of leadership in B.C. The email appears to be a misstep, with Steele replying to the resident instead of forwarding it to someone else, as she intended. The resident, who asked to remain anonymous, provided The Leader with a copy of the email exchange of May 4. In it, the woman complained to Steele about a planned 181-townhome project for 5750 Panorama Dr. (see story

below) and the impact it will The resident thought Steele have on further stressing was talking about Mayor already overcrowded schools in Linda Hepner and pressed for the area. clarification.

In an email mistakenly sent to a resident who was angry about the negative impact a proposed development in Surrey will have on local schools, Coun. Barbara Steele blames the province for failing to adequately address the issue. 'Children in SURREY have been in portables for too long,' she wrote in part. EVAN SEAL

TOWNHOMES OPPOSED DUE TO LACK OF SCHOOL SPACE

▶ PANORAMA RESIDENTS SAY PROJECT WILL MAKE ALREADY PACKED CLASSROOMS EVEN WORSE KEVIN DIAKIW

More than 100 people packed an open house at the Tong Louie Family YMCA on Monday night to voice their objections to a townhome project planned for Panorama Ridge. The development, slated for 5750 Panorama Dr. (just northwest of Highway 10 and 152 Street), is the proposed location of 181 townhomes and 106 apartments, as well as commercial developments. Area residents are fed up and say area

elementary and secondary schools are over capacity as it is. Cindy Dalglish, who runs the website southnewtoncommunity.com, says the situation is unfortunate for the developer, because his timing is terrible. “If he came two years from now when (more) schools are around, it (the development) would go through without a blip,” Dalglish said. continued on page 3

â&#x2013;ś TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT PHASED IN TO ALLOW FOR NEW SCHOOLS: REDEKOP from page 1

The Surrey School District, with more than 70,000 students, is the biggest in B.C., and its schools have been over-capacity for many years. FILE PHOTO

â&#x2013;ś FUNDING MODEL CRITICIZED

from page 1

Steele goes on to say that her son, who is now 40 years old, went to school in portables. The connection between breakneck development and the lack of school space â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a longstanding issue in Surrey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has reached a flashpoint in the city. Steele told The Leader Wednesday her email was sent to the resident in error, but she said she stands behind her criticism of the province. "The leadership is lacking from the province as to what we're supposed to do about the school system," Steele said. "I think the province needs to get their head around it, and probably quickly, because they have an election coming up." She said her criticism was a general comment, not targeting any one individual within the government. Steele is critical of the model where school funding isn't calculated until pupils show up in class each year. "By the time a new school is built, most of those kids are (aged) out of the school already," Steele said. "Right now, we're taking the heat for it, the school board is in the middle of it, and in Surrey, it's a major issue." She hopes to meet soon with the Surrey Board of Education and would like to have B.C. Minister of Education Mike Bernier there as well. "It's a serious problem and we need to sit down and work on it," Steele said. "But it needs to be more than the city and the school board at the table. The provision of schools belongs squarely at the feet of the province." B.C. Minister of Education Mike Bernier was not immediately available for an interview with The Leader. However, the education ministry responded by email, saying that several projects in Surrey are under way. "We are close to having new schools approved and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working closely with the district on a number of projects," the ministry wrote. "Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also looking at innovative ways Surrey can deal with the intense pressures from growth. Some ideas being discussed include larger high schools or even larger facilities housing two separate elementary schools." The email from the ministry also pointed out that a high school

is under construction in north Clayton, as well as additions to three elementary schools. "These projects will create 1,870 spaces for Surrey." Those spaces will be at capacity when they open. This isn't the first time concern over a lack of school space has escalated in Surrey. In 1991, it became an election issue, resulting in then-Surrey school trustee Penny Priddy taking the riding of Surrey-Newton for the NDP from Social Credit Premier Rita Johnston. Priddy told The Leader Wednesday one of the biggest issues at the time was a lack of schools â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in Newton and South Surrey particularly. "(The issues were) friends and insiders and time for a change... but in Surrey, the fact that there were not enough schools to support a growing population was an important piece of that," Priddy said. The NDP went on to win 51 of the 75 available seats in the legislature in 1991 and held on to power for a decade. Observers say the issue is heating up yet again and will play prominently in next spring's provincial election. The provincial NDP has already started a petition calling on the B.C. Liberals to provide adequate funding for schools at fightforkidsbc.ca Last month, after the the Surrey Board of Education passed a motion asking the City of Surrey to temporarily suspend all new development approvals in fast-growing areas of the city until schools could catch up, Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said freezing development is not the answer. Steele said she also supports continued development because the city has a responsibility to help provide housing. But she believes any large development in Surrey will now be met â&#x2013;ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are with concerned parents who don't want it because of the impact on close to having area schools. new schools The Panorama Drive development that was the subject of approved...â&#x20AC;? the email correspondence with B.C. EDUCATION MINISTER Steele has not yet been before Surrey council, but will likely be MIKE BERNIER the part of a public hearing in the coming weeks.

Laura Martin has a two-year-old at home and says she will soon be looking at kindergarten options. She objects to the development primarily based on how it will affect the already crowded schools in the area. Steve Henderson, vice president of the Panorama Neighbourhood Association (PNA), said the 350-member community group also opposes the development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The neighbourhood association supports the school board to temporarily postpone development in South Newton, Clayton and Grandview,â&#x20AC;? Henderson said. He said without schools specifically to support the new housing, the group will not stand quietly and allow the development to forge ahead. Valerie and Henry Zea also oppose the development, partly because of the impact on schools, but also because of the stress it will put on other infrastructure such as roads. Developer James Redekop, of Redekop Homes, said he understands the concerns of the community. He said the idea is to phase in the townhome development over four years, so the province can prepare for the incoming students by building new schools. Two new elementary schools are coming further east to the rapidly growing Cloverdale community of Clayton, but the Surrey School District is still awaiting funding from the province to break ground. A new Clayton high school is not expected to open until 2018. On April 21, the Surrey Board of Education voted unanimously in James Redekop favour of a motion asking the City of Surrey to â&#x20AC;&#x153;temporarily suspend all new development approvals in the Clayton, Grandview/South Surrey and Newton regions until the Surrey School District receives adequate provincial funding to support the growing numbers of students moving into these regions.â&#x20AC;? Trustee Laurae McNally noted Surrey is the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest school district and the overflow from currently crowded schools could easily fill 30 new schools immediately. Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said freezing development is not the solution and worried such a move would jeopardize the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s robust economy. The Panorama development has not yet been before Surrey council, but will likely be the subject of a public hearing in the coming weeks.

Surrey RCMP has released video surveillance footage, along with a still photo, of the suspect in a sexual assault on a realtor that occurred last month in North Surrey. At about 4:10 p.m. on Saturday, April 30, a female real estate agent was sexually assaulted while holding an open house at a residence in the area of 128 Street and 92 Avenue. The woman was able to fight

For the record

Gun violence has again erupted on Surrey streets, as police responded to two incidents of shots fired in as many days earlier this week. Police are investigating a shooting that took place near 72 Avenue and 151 Street on Tuesday night (May 10). At about 7:45 p.m., Surrey RCMP received a call of shots fired at the busy Newton intersection. When officers arrived, they found evidence of gunplay and later determined shots were fired between two vehicles. The suspect vehicle was seen fleeing from the area and the targeted car has since been found. No one was shot in the incident, but a male sustained minor injures from shattered glass. Police say they believe it was a targeted incident. The shooting comes a day after another incident a half-a-kilometre away. At about 2:20 a.m. Monday, May 9, police were called to a report of shots fired in the 7600-block of 135 Street. Mounties found evidence at the scene, but no victim. Moments later, Surrey RCMP received a call from an Abbotsford hospital reporting someone showed up with gunshot wounds saying it happened in Surrey. The two latest shootings bring to 37 the number of shots fired incidents in Surrey so far this year.

Anyone with further information who has not already spoken to police is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or, if they wish to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or www. solvecrime.ca

Fatal house fire 'nonsuspicious' Surrey RCMP said a fatal fire that occurred in the early hours of Wednesday morning at a residence in Guildford is "non-suspicious." On May 11 at approximately 12:50 a.m., Surrey RCMP, along with Surrey Fire Service and the BC Ambulance Service, responded to a report of a fire in the 9000-block of 148 St. Upon arrival, officers located a 55-year-old male suffering from burns who was deceased at scene. Also located was a middle-age female suffering from smoke inhalation. She was transported to hospital in serious condition. Surrey RCMP officers will be assisting the B.C. Coroner's Service with its investigation.

Five men, one teen, charged in violent assaults in region ▶ WOMEN ATTACKED BETWEEN JANUARY AND APRIL LAURA BAZIUK

Six people, including a youth, have been charged in relation to what police are calling a dozen violent stranger attacks so far this year throughout Metro Vancouver. “Over the past three months, a number of high-profile assaults against women – the majority of them sexual in nature – have taken place in the UBC endowment lands, Vancouver, North Vancouver and Burnaby,” RCMP Chief Supt. Jodie Boudreau told reporters Wednesday at the RCMP’s E Division headquarters in Surrey. “These terrible unprovoked

crimes justifiably scared people and those living and working in these communities clearly expressed their concern.” In all cases but one was the victim attacked by one person. David Singh Tucker, 28, and Yuan Zhi Gao, 23, were actually announced last week to have been charged in a disturbing sexual attack at UBC on April 30. They are accused of sexual assault causing bodily harm, forcible confinement, robbery, break and enter, and wearing a mask with intent to commit an indictable offence. The others are as follows: • Jason Anthony White, 45, charged with assault, break and enter, and breach in relation to an April 7 offence in Vancouver. White, a high-risk sex offender,

was arrested last month after allegedly breaching his long-term supervision order. • Michal Popek, 36, of Surrey, charged with four counts of sexual assault and one count of break and enter in connection to incidents on March 26, 2015, and April 9 of this year in Vancouver, and on Feb. 18 and March 6 in Burnaby. • Vaughan Englot, 32, charged with three counts of sexual assault in relation to offences on Jan. 12 and 19 in North Vancouver and Jan. 15 in Vancouver. • A youth, who cannot be named, charged with two counts of sexual assault, two counts of committing and indecent act, and one count of assault in relation to offences allegedly committed March 3, 4, 5 and 6 in Vancouver.

Former RCMP Insp. Tim Shields has been charged with sexual assault in relation to his time in charge of a communications unit at the force’s E Division headquarters in Vancouver. B.C.’s Criminal Justice Branch said the charge came as a result from an investigation into sexual misconduct alleged to have occurred between 2009 and 2010. The alleged victim was a civilian employee who worked with the strategic commu-

nications unit. Shields’ next court appearance is June 27 in Vancouver. The high-profile officer, who voluntarily retired in December, was suspended with pay a year ago pending the outcome of a Code of Conduct investigation, though RCMP officials noted at the time it was not a disciplinary measure. Shields is also fighting two civil lawsuits alleging sexual harassment. In a 2013 claim, civilian employee Atoya Montague accuses

VIEWPOINT

6 The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Fr iday M ay 13 2016

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Have you changed your regular commute route now that the Pattullo Bridge is being repaired? To answer, go to the home page of our website at surreyleader.com

Last week we asked: Do you consider yourself well-prepared for an earthquake or other natural disaster? Here’s how you responded:

Yes 30% No 70%

No real alternatives The spring and summer repair work on the Pattullo Bridge has exposed the complete inadequacies of transportation networks between the fast-growing south of the Fraser area and the rest of Metro Vancouver. Pattullo Bridge traffic is clogged for most of the day every day, as it is now down to one lane in each direction so that patchwork repairs can be made. It is important to note that these repairs are only expected to extend the life of the bridge by a few years, as the longterm plan is to replace it with a new toll bridge. The Alex Fraser Bridge, Highway 91 and all the feeder routes are even more clogged than ever since the Pattullo repairs began on April 29. Other than the Pattullo, it is the only free bridge across the Fraser River. The Alex Fraser traffic has been building significantly since the tolled Port Mann Bridge opened. Interestingly, the Port Mann Bridge has been noticeably busier since the Pattullo work began. This makes sense – it does have the ability to move traffic quickly. However, there is no toll discount being offered to drivers during this period (even though the Pattullo is the supposed free alternative). The fact is, the toll is a steep price for working people to pay to get to and from work. While traffic is generally flowing well on the Port Mann during rush hours, even with more drivers using it, there

have been a lot of slowdowns on Highway 1 on both sides of the bridge, from Abbotsford to Vancouver. The George Massey tunnel is more clogged with traffic as well, although sometimes it is hard to notice, given its perpetual state of busyness. The level of traffic there has prompted Premier Christy Clark to declare that the tunnel needs to be replaced with (yet another) toll bridge, something that has proven to be quite controversial. If that bridge is built, it will relieve some of the pressure. However, if it opens at about the same time as the tolled Pattullo, there will be four toll bridges crossing the Fraser, with only the Alex Fraser free. It is obvious where much of the traffic will go. Clark recognizes that there is already a built-in unfairness in tolling policy, and has commented on that fact. A number of mayors and MLAs have also called for a fairer tolling policy, with more bridges tolled at a lower rate. Mayors would like some of that additional revenue to go to transit projects. Clark’s party is busy formulating its election promises for next May’s provincial election, and a fair tolling policy is a pretty high priority for most South Fraser residents. The eight seats in Surrey and two in Delta are pretty important factors ion which party gets to form government in Victoria. If there is no action

on the tolling policy front, the B.C. Liberals will lose votes in the South Fraser area. The NDP will also need to address the tolling inequity. Thus far, there has been no formal policy shift announced by the opposition party. Transportation is about more than cars and trucks of course. Transit is a key part of the equation, but unfortunately it gets little attention from decision-makers. The Surrey LRT lines may get built in the next decade, if enough local funding can be found to match federal and provincial funds. However, it will do little to get more people across the river. The LRT system will require riders to transfer to SkyTrain, and that delay alone will make transit less competitive. Meanwhile, the bus service in Surrey, Delta, White Rock and Langley is a fraction of what is available to people in Vancouver, Burnaby and the North Shore. Coquitlam and Port Moody residents will still have more access to SkyTrain when the Evergreen Line opens. In Surrey, bus routes such as the 502 and 321 are hopelessly overcrowded. No wonder that most Surrey residents rely on their cars for transportation. They have few real alternatives. The added pressure caused by Pattullo repairs has proven that.

Showdown over schools shaping up B.C. voters go to the polls in a year, but it's not difficult to predict what a major election issue will be – at least in Surrey. The perpetual overcrowding of schools has once again reached a boiling point in the city. Parents have long complained about packed classrooms and perennial portables. And year after year, school trustees have dutifully balanced their budgets, while firmly (and with admirable restraint) demanding that Surrey get more of the provincial pie when it comes to funding.

Surrey is, after all, the largest school district in the province and one of the few areas to see growing enrolment. In fact, as Trustee Laurae McNally notes, the overflow from existing overcrowded schools could immediately fill 30 new schools. As a result, last month the Surrey Board of Education unanimously voted to urge the City of Surrey to halt all development in fast-growing regions of the city until schools can catch up. The mayor is understandably reluctant to

put the brakes on this particular economic engine, so round and round it goes. Now, developers are starting to feel the pressure. Redekop Homes heard the wrath of area residents on Monday at a public meeting over a townhome development slated for Panorama Ridge. Parents are upset about the negative impact the project will have on local classrooms. Surrey Coun. Barbara Steele predicts that going forward, any large development in Surrey

will be met with opposition from concerned parents. But it's hard to fault those trying to provide much-needed housing. In fact, it's wrong to pit parents, trustees and councillors against one another. As Steele notes: "The provision of schools belongs squarely at the feet of the province." Many people will remember this come election day next May.

▼ DEVELOPMENT WILL FURTHER STRESS SCHOOLS Regarding the Redekop Homes proposal ecting the southeast corner of 152 Street and Panorama Drive. As a resident of the neighbourhood and a homeowner, I have a number of concerns after visiting the open house on May 9. Firstly, the site is being marketed as luxury rental housing for seniors, yet there is nothing in the bylaws that states this would be a seniors-only complex, which means ere is nothing to stop a realtor or rental agency from advertising to non-senior renters. Right from the start, this proposal lacks integrity. Given that anyone can rent, there is ux of families or single parents with kids that require adequate schooling. However, our elementary schools are overcrowded as is Sullivan Heights Sece city is considering a proposal for a development that will further stress the existing overcrowded conditions for our kids. To prove that point, I personally know a number of current residents in the neighbourhood, some that live right across from Sullivan Heights Secondary, whose kids are forced to go Frank Hurt because there is simply no room to accommodate them at Sullivan. By allowing a development of such scope and magnitude, the city is not taking into account the long term sustainability of the community. Which can only mean one thing... public land that at one time was to become a hospital or care facility for seniors, the city is demonstrating they are at the mercy of developers and are in need of the subseow to balance the books. e Redekop Homes proposal is not good for the residents of this community. e commercial space will just add to the half-empty commercial spaces that already ux of rental units may attract a demographic that requires community supports currently not present e addition of children will add great stress to schools already bursting at c will further add to the congestion of a poorly planned road system and transit service. How then is this proposal for the betterment of our community? It isn’t. But it is probably very good for the bottom line. Slavko Bucifal

▼ DO YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR FOOD SUPPLY? Last year I wrote an article, Getting to the Core, about the introduction of a genetically engineered apple called "Arctic’." At the time, I expressed concerns about one of the most popular fruits consumed by adults and children alike being tampered with. This year, the Arctic apple was approved. Without mandatory labelling, consumers will not know what kind of apple they are purchasing. While our government does not believe genetically modified foods (GE or GMOS) are unsafe, many citizens do and would like the right to know. Soon the first GE potato – "Innate" – will be available in Canada. What’s next? Perhaps it

Treated with indifference ▼ SURREY VOTERS' REWARD FOR SUPPORTING THIS B.C. GOVERNMENT? BEING TAKEN FOR GRANTED. Geoff Dean’s recent letter ("Province has treated Surrey badly") raises a serious question. While children in other school districts in our province go to schools where there is room to spare, our children here in Surrey get to go to schools that are horribly overcrowded. At Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary in Cloverdale, 2,100 students try to get an education in a school built to hold 1,400 or 1,500 maximum. Similarly, at Earl Marriott Secondary, 2,000 students attend a school built for 1,500. Both schools have been forced to implement shifts. There are two other high schools where similar situations exist and the trend is in the wrong direction all over the City of Surrey. Amazingly, the parents of these students in Cloverdale and South Surrey have voted strongly in support of this government election after election. Their reward, it seems, is to be taken for granted. Does anybody care about how this government treats these children? A letter writer wonders why parents of students in crowded Surrey schools have voted for the current provincial government election after election. FILE PHOTO

A challenge: Golf for a good cause During the afternoon of Thursday, May 5, the Windermere Valley Men’s Club held its weekly competition. Our thoughts were not on golf, but rather on the families displaced by the fires raging in northern Alberta. At the conclusion of the event, our membership

will be GE salmon? Several weeks ago, in Ladner, I heard a talk by scientist and author Dr. Shiv Chopra. I was dismayed to learn he was fired from his job as senior scientific advisor at Health Canada for telling the truth about what’s going into our food. More specifically, he refused to approve a genetically engineered bovine growth hormone (rBGH), which was being given to dairy cows in the U.S. to increase the animal’s milk production. Many citizens petitioned Ottawa (and especially dairy farmers) to not allow rBGH into Canada. To date (as far as I know), rBGH has not been used here. Chopra claims that if the Trans Pacific Partnership is endorsed by Canada and other countries, genetically engineered milk would be allowed and we would not know.

decided to donate the prize money that would normally have gone to the afternoon’s winners to the disaster relief efforts currently being undertaken. Al Wittke, a longstanding member of our club, also donated $2,000 to the Salvation Army.

In other words, our right to food sovereignty would be no more. I fear having our food supply come under the control of large corporations and pharmaceuticals (think Monsanto, Dow Chemical, etc.). Chopra does not mince words when he talks about the corruption that endangers public safety and our food supply. His memoirs as a Health Canada whistleblower are outlined in a 2010 book, Corrupt to the Core. If you are concerned, please take the time to contact your elected officials in Ottawa. Chopra did suggest that petitions, rather than individual letters, are more effective. Please take time to read, learn and get involved. We must all become activists if we care about our food supply. Jean Wightman

Wittke lived in Fort McMurray in the Beacon Hill subdivision. His former residence has burned to the ground. The Windermere Valley Men’s Club is challenging men’s and women’s golf clubs across B.C. and Alberta to do the same. Take the prize

money from one afternoon of golf to assist our friends and neighbours in the Fort McMurray area. Dean Midyette President, Windermere Valley Men’s Club Windermere, B.C.

▶ SURREY GETTING HOSED ON RAIN BARRELS I would appreciate some insight as to why the City of Surrey is not offering a $10 discount on rain barrels like the District of North Vancouver? Should the city not be doing everything it can to promote water conservation? Are we not the largest city? We are definitely not the wealthy North Vancouver community. Why should we not get the same treatment as North Vancouver? It is shameful, Surrey. Sandi McKay

▶ MAKE IT CLEAR WHO THE PREMIER WORKS FOR Those who argue that Christy Clark’s $195,000 salary is inadequate make a reasonable point. For services rendered, she should receive at least as much as any top-level CEO employed in British Columbia’s energy industry and all her wages and benefits should be provided directly by the private sector. The provincial taxpayer would thereby be relieved of any financial burden and having a new paymaster would make quite clear who this premier actually works for. Larry Kazdan

As many as 10 wildfires in northeast B.C. this spring may have been deliberately set. Environment Minister Mary Polak said Tuesday (May 10) that evidence of an apparent string of arsons has been turned over to conservation officers to track the source of the fires. The B.C. government has tripled the fine for not complying with burning restrictions to $1,150, but deliberately set fires are more serious. “Arson would result potentially in criminal charges, and if somebody was convicted, they would see jail time,” Polak said. Rapid snow-melt and an early warm

spell created high fire hazard in areas of dry grass, sparking forest fires north of Fort St. John that forced hundreds of people to evacuate. Evacuees were allowed to go home on Sunday after rain and snow slowed the fires. Crews and aircraft in Alberta and B.C. continue to work on the Siphon Creek fire, which grew to more than 50,000 hectares as it crossed he provincial border.

B.C. schools open to Alberta kids B.C. schools are preparing to take in some of the 12,000 children of school age who have been forced to evacuate Fort McMurray due

to wildfire. Education Minister Mike Bernier said he has been in touch with the Alberta minister to keep track of students who come to B.C., so they can return to some of their normal routines. “We sent a letter to all of our school districts that when we have students coming from Alberta into B.C., that we’re going to open our arms, make sure that they’re welcomed into the school system and try to help them complete the end of the school year,” Bernier said. The Fort McMurray fire destroyed homes and businesses as it swept through the town, but schools were spared, as were the hospital and airport.

Boats intercepted with zebra mussels ▶ ILLEGAL HUNTERS, ‘BEAR JAMS’ AND FISH RESCUES PART OF JOB FOR CONSERVATION OFFICERS JEFF NAGEL

Authorities remain on high alert for invasive species after intercepting four boats in recent weeks that arrived in B.C. infested with live zebra mussels. One contaminated boat was towed by a vehicle that failed to stop for inspectors on April 28 near Elko, where many vacationers arrive in B.C. from

southwestern Alberta and northwestern Montana. A conservation officer tracked down the vehicle and diverted it back to the inspection station, said Chris Doyle, deputy chief of provincial operations for the B.C. Conservation Officer Service (COS). “The boat it was towing was found to have zebra mussels on it,” Doyle said. “That watercraft was detained and impounded and as well the driver was charged for failing to stop at the inspection station.” Inspection teams have checked 1,200 boats so far this year. Of those, 64 were flagged as coming from

B.C. wolf kill to continue next winter ▶ CARIBOU HERDS IN KOOTENAYS AND SOUTH PEACE REGION IN DECLINE TOM FLETCHER

Endangered caribou herds in the Kootenays and South Peace region have continued to decline as the B.C. government assesses the second year of its wolf removal project. Nine wolves were killed by hunting and trapping in the South Selkirk Mountains this winter, while wolves took two caribou out of a herd that was down to 18 animals at last count. Forests ministry staff will try to shoot 24 wolves from helicopters before the snow melts in the South Selkirks. Six of the remaining caribou have been fitted with radio collars to track them. Four caribou herds in the South Peace targeted for wolf control have also declined, to about 170 animals in the Quintette, Moberley, Scott and Kennedy Siding herds. Ministry staff have documented that about one-third of losses in the South Peace are from wolves, where there are seven herds, one down to a single bull. Working with Treaty 8 First Nations, the ministry’s goal is to shoot from 120 to 160 wolves in the South Peace this year. The Graham herd, the largest in the South Peace and the province at about 700 animals, is being monitored for its survival without protection from wolves. Forests Minister Steve Thomson said the program will continue next winter, along with a project to capture and pen pregnant female caribou in the South Selkirks to keep newborn calves from being killed by wolves. “They’re getting increased survival rates for the calves from the maternal penning, with lots of partners in support in that program,” Thomson said. The recovery plan for the South Selkirk population includes protecting 2.2 million hectares or 95 per cent of the best caribou habitat from logging and road-building. The South Peace recovery plan includes 400,000 hectares, about 90 per cent of the high-elevation winter caribou habitat in the region.

high-risk locations, resulting in 12 decontamination orders and seven 30-day quarantines. ges There are challenges on land, as well. Bears emerging from their dens and searching for food continue to be a problem, particularly when people fail to secure their food and garbage, Doyle said. He said conservation officers are continuing to respond to reports of “bear jams” where vehicles are stopped

on a highway where people are deliberately feeding bears or taking photos.

Even when the bears aren’t being fed, there’s concerns that people in close proximity may make the bears habituated. There have also been

multiple complaints in Kitimat of grizzly bears feeding on garbage, he added. He ur urges people not to rem remove fawns or other wildlife w babies but instead i contact conservation o officers if there’s reason to suspect they’re abandoned. Animal rescues are a regular part of the job for conservation officers. One of the latest operations saw Kamloops officers join forces with local volunteers to retrieve 1,000 rainbow

trout that had become stranded in a field after Jacko Lake flooded on April 24. “Those live rainbow trout were all returned to Jacko Lake.” Hefty fines have been handed out in recent months against poachers. About $2,500 in fines were issued to a group found hunting without licences April 29 in the Kispiox River area. Another $5,800 in fines were handed out to two Lower Mainland men convicted of hunting deer in a closed season near

Rose Prairie in 2013. Conservation officers used DNA evidence to link the poachers to the scene. And a Burnaby woman was fined $5,200 on May 3 after pleading guilty to trafficking bear gall bladders following incidents in Merritt and Coquitlam in 2014 and 2015. Trafficking in bear parts in B.C. is rare, Doyle said. He said the motive of the perpetrator was a traditional belief that the bear gall bladder bile can help relieve suffering from seizures.

Physical activity key to long, happy and healthy life By Dr. Azim Jamal For the first time in our nation’s history we have more people over 65 than under 15. With an increasing aging population, it’s more important than ever of seniors to consider the key elements of a long, healthy and happy life – one of these being physical activity. Physical activity is important at any age; however, as we get older it becomes increasingly important for health durability, mental health and overall quality of life. Research shows that people who are active have a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, depression and even

dementia. Regular exercise in old age has as powerful effect on life expectancy, and an increase in physical activity is directly associated with better health and a longer life. Through the aging process, it’s important to listen to your body and exercise at a rate that challenges you, but doesn’t exert you. Physical activity is classified as anything that gets your body moving. This can range from walking and gardening, to an exercise class, to basic arm exercises while seated in a chair. Ideally, research suggests that seniors you should try to do something physical every single day, even just for ten minutes. Remember, certain activities should be practiced under the supervision of a health care professional to ensure safety. As I previously mentioned, research shows that physical exercise can assist in warding off disease, and also act as a tool for prevention. In fact, for some cases, exercise is used as an effective form of

activity. These adjustments have been made based on science, research and of course, the ever-growing demand from seniors who are looking to remain active to maintain their lifestyle. Often times, seniors opting to live at home do not receive the same level of support for physical activities as they would in a care home, where professional health care

She was charged after attacking another woman on an eastbound SkyTrain on April 27, hitting her on the side of the head a number of times while shouting and swearing. The victim’s head was pushed into a wall, and her hair was pulled. A male passenger stepped in to stop the attack, and he, the attacker and the victim got off SkyTrain at the Gateway Station in Surrey. Transit Police were called and were told the suspect had boarded a westbound SkyTrain. She was arrested at Metrotown Station. “I am very pleased to see the court has recognized the seriousness of this offence,” said Metro Vancouver Transit Police Chief Doug LePark.

Christy Clark’s party payment okay, says commissioner ▶ PREMIER’S ‘LEADER’S ALLOWANCE’ NOT A CONFLICT OF INTEREST TOM FLETCHER

Premier Christy Clark’s $50,000-a-year “leader’s allowance” from the B.C. Liberal Party does not breach B.C. law, Conflict of Interest Commissioner Paul Fraser has ruled. Fraser’s decision was released last week in response to a complaint filed by NDP MLA David Eby, who accused Clark of being paid out of proceeds from “exclusive” fundraising events where people paid up to $10,000 to meet with her. “There may be circumstances where receiving a political donation places a Member (of the Legislative Assembly) in a conflict or apparent conflict of interest situation,” Fraser wrote. “However, they are generally limited to situations where a candidate receives a personal campaign contribution and due to a variety of other factors, is in a position to ‘return a favour’ to the person who made the donation.” Fraser added that the Members’ Conflict of Interest Act “is not a moral code and I am not an arbiter of what may be political morality in the campaign finance context.” Clark has said she

inherited the allowance when she became B.C. Liberal leader in 2011, and it was instituted by the party when former premier Gordon Campbell became Opposition leader in 1993. The party says Clark’s allowance is $50,000 for this year and last year, up from $45,000 a year in 2013 and 2014. The NDP has pressed the B.C. Liberal government to ban corporate and union donations and cap personal donations, as has been done at the federal level.

In the legislature this week, the opposition highlighted donations from mining and oil executive N. Murray Edwards and associated companies totalling more than $800,000. NDP leader John Horgan has also participated in private receptions with donors who pay extra. He says his leader’s allowance has been about $5,000, mainly to provide him with clothing.

GREENER HOMES

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Net Zero Home building standards encouraged By Nicolle Hodges Energy-efficient homes have arrived and are growing in popularity. At this time, it may be farfetched to assume homes will soon be equipped with the ability to turn sunlight into energy or have gardens growing on the walls. It is accurate, however, to assume that over the next decade homes will become increasingly more self-sustaining, compact, and leave only a light footprint on the planet. Like most things in life, success comes from planning ahead, getting organized, and gathering information. B.C. is dedicated to supporting

better building practices now and into the future. Meaning, the trend of green homes isn’t slowing down. For builders striving to meet energy efficiency requirements, it hasn’t been too hard to manage. That’s the opinion of Joe Geluch, President of Naikoon Contracting Ltd., who says builders and contractors are more receptive to the idea of building greener homes. “Conversations started 30 years ago but certainly in the last ten years we’ve seen big progress, especially ramping up over the last three years,” he says. “The B.C. energy code [which came into effect December

2014] mandated a lot of energy efficiency in housing. That has certainly made building greener a requirement.” The Code increased the requirement for additional insulation in walls, better windows, and mandatory energy modelling on some areas. For some builders it's new, but others are already implementing environmental practices. Some of the current green trends that Geluch has noticed are things like better windows and doors, air tight design, and more efficient insulation and ventilation. “A lot of people are now going to triple glazed windows and doors in their home,” says Geluch. “Argon gas filled and low E coatings also add efficiency to the window. The frame and construction of the window product is just as important as the glass, and it’s important to understand the labelling that comes with the window and door products.” Other environmental considerations picking up steam are rainwater collection systems and healthy products like no-toxic finishes, low VOC paints and materials, local use of resources, and formaldehyde free plywood. The evolution of technology has certainly spilled over into home construction, evident by the emer-

gence of the term "smart home.” For Geluch, the word has come define the evolution of home automation. “Most homes can now have controllability with smart phones in various features, and also energy monitoring and lighting controllability – which is very popular,” he says. As for renewable energy sources, Geluch says solar panels are already becoming increasingly popular. “We’ve been receiving request for solar PV on a regular basis and are seeing them being prepared for on all projects,” says Geluch. “Just in the last two years we have installed solar PV on a half dozen homes. This trend will certainly continue and increase as the technology improves and costs come down and other types of energy costs rise over time.” As buyers become more interested in green options, Geluch says builders will continue to reciprocate the demand. “I'd like to see all building constructed to Net Zero Ready standards over the next 15 years,” he says. He is referring to the Canadian Home Builders Association, which has developed and launched a pilot for a new labelling system in Canada. A “Net Zero Home” is one that con-

sumes less power than it produces. “It has to be thoroughly planned and constructed to very high energy standards to get to ‘Net Zero Ready,’” says Geluch. “The full program will launch and be announced in approximately six months. I am on the council developing this, and am very passionate about it.” Some people may think that going green can be difficult and costly, when in reality there are more options than ever to buy a home already built to environmental standards, or renovate an older home to accommodate a greener lifestyle. “The fundamentals are easy and don’t cost a lot of money; it makes nothing but sense,” says Geluch. “If there is a will, there is a way!” Being aware of energy saving benefits and making the switch from waste producing products to more environmentally friendly products and practices creates a cycle of positive feedback. By upgrading or managing a green home, not only are you helping the atmosphere but also lowering your energy bills, reducing your carbon footprint, and passing on important lessons about caring for the environment to your family and friends. Maybe you don’t have a fish pond in the front yard (yet) but you can start somewhere.

Seven medals for Cerrato at Westerns

▼ SURREY ATHLETES ON THE PODIUM AT WESTERN CANADIAN, DELTA INVITATIONAL GYMNASTIC MEETS RICK KUPCHUK

3) and one and a half games behind the first-place North Shore Twins. The Blue Jays, the only other team in the league besides Whalley to defeat the Mariners this season, came from behind for the win Tuesday, and remained in fifth place at 7-5. Ryder Mavis pitched all seven innings for the Blue Jays, holding the Chiefs to one unearned run on six hits and a pair of walks for his first win of the season. The Chiefs took an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning when Brendan Yip lead off with a double then scored on a Blue Jays error.

Treyson Cerrato added to an already impressive collection of medals last weekend at the Western Canadian Gymnastics Championships in Richmond. The Surrey Gymnastic Society (SGS) member won seven medals over three days of competition, including a silver medal in the all around competition in the Provincial 5 category. Cerrato, 14, had a personal best score of 73.15 to place second in the overall standings. The South Surrey resident also won a gold medal in the team competition, and qualified for five apparatus finals where he finished on the podium in each event. Cerrato won gold on rings, parallel bars and high bar, earned a silver medal on pommel horse and won the bronze on vault. “Achieving a top three podium finish in all five of his finals is an amazing accomplishment,” said John Carroll, the Competitive Program Director at SGS. Earlier this season, Cerrato won his fourth consecutive B.C. championship along with four event medals. He also won all around titles at the Christy Fraser Memorial meet in Langley, the Twisters Invitational in Abbotsford and the Surrey Classic. Cerrato was one of four SGS members competing. Muzzammil Taziz, 13, placed ninth all around in the Provincial 4 category, and won a pair of medals. He was a member of the Provincial 4 team which won a silver medal, and won the gold medal in the pommel horse final. Emanuel Gutierrez Sandoval placed in the top six in all events in the Elite 4 group. He won the silver medal on parallel bars and bronze on vault, adding fifth-place scores on floor and high bar and sixth-place results on pommel horse and rings. Carter Baker, 11, won a silver medal on floor in the Elite 3 category and was also a member of the provincial group which won the gold medal in team competition. The Western Canadian competition was one of two hosted the same weekend by the Delta Gymnastics Society, which also staged its annual Delta Invitational, where numerous SGS athletes performed well. Luke Van Harmelen, 12, was an all around champion in the Boys’ Provincial 3 (under-13) group. He won gold on vault, parallel bars and high bar, added a silver medal on floor and a bronze on rings and was fourth on pommel horse. Teammate Timofey Azhogin, 13, was right behind, winning a silver medal in all around competition while taking the gold on floor and rings, placing second on pommel horse and vault and fourth on parallel bars.

▶ PITCHER CONTRIBUTES WITH A PAIR OF HITS from page 20

North Delta took the lead in the bottom of the third inning. Cole Evans singled to get on base, and Tyler Hoefer followed with a two-run home run. The Jays added an insurance run in the sixth inning. William Quito singled and scored on a double by Logan Newman. The Chiefs swept Victoria 2-1 and 6-1 in two games Saturday at Whalley Stadium. After the Mariners went up 1-0 in the top of the fourth inning of the first game, Whalley responded with two runs in the fifth. Owen Napieralski led off with a single then moved to third base on an error that allowed Kenny Dubois get on base. Both runners scored, the first on a

sacrifice fly by Brendan Yip and the second on a double from Stephen Horner. Thomas Espig threw a complete-game two-hitter with 10 strikeouts, allowing one unearned run and just one walk. Espig, committed to Yale university in the fall, has yet to allow an earned run in three starts this season. He also contributed at the plate with a single and a double in three at-bats. The Chiefs rapped out 13 hits in the rematch, but needed three runs in the sixth inning to put the game out of reach. A sacrifice fly from Espig to score Yip opened the scoring in the bottom of the third inning. One batter later, Matt Legg drove in the eventual winning run with a single to score Nolan

Weger. With the home side up 2-1, Whalley blew the game open in the sixth. Weger doubled to score Dubois, then scored himself on a single from Braeden Massignani. Massignani then went home on Espig’s double. Weger was four-for-four in the game, with Yip and Massignani getting two hits each. Starting pitcher Alex Deluca improved to 4-1 on the season, allowing an unearned run on five hits and a walk. The Chiefs can overtake the first-place Twins tomorrow (Saturday) when they travel to the North Shore for a doubleheader. The Blue Jays will host the 5-9 Victoria Eagles for two games at Mackie Park, the first starting at 11 a.m.

After a year in Corvallis with the Oregon Stage University Beavers women’s soccer team, Jenna Baxter is returning to Metro Vancouver. The Surrey native has signed with the Simon Fraser University Clan for the 2016 season. “We are excited to add someone of Jenna’s calibre to our squad,” said SFU head coach Annie Hamel. “I know Jenna well and our players are familiar with her as well so it’ll be an easy transition integrating her into the squad for all of us.” In her freshman season with Oregon State, the midfielder started nine games and collected a pair of assists. She has played for the Canadian under-17 team, winning a silver medal at the 2013 CONCACAF Women’s U17 Championship in Montego Bay, Jamaica. She has also played in the U18 Whitecaps Girls Elite program for two years.

The centre of a universe of fun for kids BLACK PRESS

One bus stop. Two strangers. Infinite destinations. It’s the setup scene for The Middle of Everywhere, a performance by Portland, Oregon-based theatre puppeteers known as Wonderheads. Winston, a man of particular particularities, is expecting nothing other than a perfectly normal day. The appearance of 11-year-old Penny at his bus stop is the first thing to upset his routine, but what he doesn’t realize is that Penny would be the least of his worries. The universe has conspired to send these strangers on a fantastic journey through time and space, forcing them to confront their fears head-on as they struggle to find their way home.

Trade awards handed out

Two local companies were honoured at Thursday night’s Surrey International Trade Awards at the Vancouver Sheraton Guildford Hotel, a program sponsored by the Surrey Board of Trade. Coast Clear Wood Ltd. was the award recipient in the Large Business category, while Nana’s Kitchen was the winner in the Small Business group. Coast Clear Wood is a specialty wood products manufacturer and marketing company, with sales of about $28 million in 2015. They sell to domestic and international markets with products used in the construction industry as well as in the manufacturing process for windows, doors, flooring, cabinetry and furniture. The export market accounts for 75 per cent of revenue for Nana’s Kitchen, which produces food products for grocery retail and food service sectors.

RENZ, Herbert H. Herbert H. Renz passed into his final rest on Saturday May 7th 2016 at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox, British Columbia. Awaiting him on the far banks of Jordan are his Mother and Father Friedrich Renz & Hulda Renz (nee Graf), also his brothers Oskar and Alfred, and a loving extended family of whom he shared many fond stories. He is survived by his wife of 64 years Alma, and children Nelson (Georgeann), Ron (Roberta), and Deborah (George); also 2 grandsons Ryan and Robert. Herbert was born on October 18, 1924 in a small German village, Güldendorf, near Odessa on the Black Sea in what is now the Ukraine. He served in the military and was badly injured in World War II. He immigrated to Canada in 1949 with his mother (having lost most of his family in the war). He worked hard at several professions, working the longest (over 30 years) with MacLeods/Gambles in Winnipeg, Manitoba, as a valued member of their management team. He met the love of his life, Alma, while visiting relatives in Calgary, Alberta. They married on October 12, 1951 and settled in Winnipeg. As their family grew up and moved along into their own homes and lives, Herbert and Alma moved with their youngest, Deborah, to the west coast, settling first in North Delta, and then later in Surrey, British Columbia.

COMING EVENTS

INFORMATION

Ever wanted to live and work in the beautiful Cariboo area of BC? Here’s a unique opportunity to relocate to Williams Lake, which boasts access to world class sporting & recreational amenities, affordable living options while still being within reach of the Lower Mainland. Openings:

In 2007 they moved to the beautiful Comox Valley to be near Deborah and her husband. Despite many physical challenges in recent years, Herbert’s greatest joy was visiting his children, sharing stories, helping them with home improvements and projects, and participating in family gatherings large and small. Everyone who knew Herbert will remember him as a principled man with great strength of will and stamina, a good provider, a contributor to his community, a dedicated professional, loyal to his friends, and as a proud and loving Father and Husband, who instilled a strong work ethic and values into his children and grandchildren. His love for his wife and family was unconditional. To his children and grandchildren he will always be our Dad or Grandpa, our advisor … ally … protector … champion … our best friend.

A Memorial Service for Herbert Renz will be held at 1pm on Friday the 13th of May 2016 at Piercy’s Funeral Home (440 England Ave. Courtenay, BC). Herbert loved history, and he and Alma enjoyed many evenings together at the theatre. So in lieu of flowers, the family asks that a contribution be made to the Comox Valley Community Foundation (www.cvcfoundation.org) to either the Sid Williams Theatre Fund or the Courtenay and District Museum Fund.
