Seized animals ready to re-home 16 horses, geese, chickens and donkey nursed back to health
By Jennifer Lang A motorist who failed to stop for police outside an elementary school in Cloverdale was arrested during a back to school safety campaign. Surrey RCMP arrested a 34-yearold Surrey resident during the launch of the campaign, jointly organized by Surrey RCMP Traffic Services and partners the Surrey School District, ICBC, and the Surrey Crime Prevention Society. The woman was later tracked down by officers and has been charged with two criminal driving charges – driving while disqualified – plus two counts of driving while prohibited,

The “Think of Me” traffic safety campaign resulted in 2,500 drivers receiving handmade warnings drawn by local students, along with 100 violation tickets and the arrest of a prohibited driver. The five-day campaign aimed to draw attention to traffic and pedestrian safety in and around school zones during the first week back to school. An average of two child pedestrians aged five to 18 are killed, and another 42 chil-

during the past month, they’ve recovered from malnutrition and medical issues and are now ready to be adopted into loving new homes. All 16 horses are part of an upcoming adopt-a-thon in Cloverdale hosted by the BC SPCA’s cruelty investigations department. “We would love to see them adopted by wonderful new guardians who will ensure that they will live the rest of their lives free from suffering and pain,” BC SCPA Special Cst. Eileen Drever said. There will also be llamas, ducks, chickens, geese, and a donkey and goat at the adopta-thon who are currently in care at the BC SPCA farm and are also looking for new homes.

Knock, knock, it’s a scam A stranger in distress knocking at your door asking for money? Don’t do it. It could be a scam. Mounties in Coquitlam are reminding the public not to give money to strangers at the door. Since July, they’ve investigated seven “tow truck” frauds. According to a Sept. 17 advisory, in most cases the suspect knocked on the victim’s door, claiming to need money for a tow truck after being in a car accident. The suspect was allegedly able to defraud a number people using this method, prompting police to issue an alert. “If people come to your house and ask for money for a tow truck or other charitable donations, verify their claims first before giving them anything,” Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said. Legitimate canvassers have no problem showing people their credentials or work identification, he added. If someone asks for money to pay for a tow truck, Chung advises offering to help them by offering to call police on their behalf. Do not give them cash. To report a fraud or find out more information, contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca. – Cloverdale Reporter

A river of parking concerns There’s already been a flood of online comments at CloverdaleReporter.com to a story that’s in today’s Reporter (See “Truck park planned near salmon river,” page 6). Here is a sample of reaction:
Why destroy nature? Why do all the beautiful, giving parts of our communities always get taken away? Why do we keep destroying nature? We need these areas to clean the air and sustain life to the animals that are being squeezed out of the other areas. Let us keep some areas to remind us of what nature really is. Debby Davey

Bad location Disgusting! I understand the need for a place for the trucks, but must they choose the worst possible location? What do these councillors know of ‘Stewardship’? They show absolutely no respect for the land. Shame! Sybil Rowe NO NO NO. Natalie Saunders It must be stopped. Of all the areas in Surrey where they could place a truck park, [why] beside one of the last salmon rivers in Surrey?
Alternative measures First the city should make them clean the garbage out of the truck parks they already have and then they should ban highway trucks inside city limits. A five-ton truck is plenty big to run freight around the city. The only time you should be looking to park a highway truck is at a truck stop when you are going to use your sleeper for something more than holding up traffic. Russell Clements What a shame!

Former Surrey councillor to race against Watts By Alex Browne Veteran local politician Judy Higginbotham has been confirmed as the Liberal Party of Canada candidate for South Surrey-White Rock in the Oct. 19 federal election, replacing Joy Davies, who resigned weeks into the campaign. A member of Surrey city council for 25 years, Higginbotham served on more than 40 committees, and received many accolades, including Business Woman of the Year and the Solicitor General’s Crime Prevention Award. Also a past provincial candidate, she bowed out of municipal politics for a runs at federal office in 1988, 2004 and 2008, but returned for a run as an inJudy Higginbotham dependent candidate for Surrey councillor in 2011. Higginbotham was unanimously endorsed by the South Surrey-White Rock Liberal Electoral District Association. Davies resigned following controversy over pro-marijuana views she expressed in past Facebook posts.

Truck park planned near salmon river By Kevin Diakiw A plan to build a truck parking lot beside a fish-rich river has raised the ire of an environmental group dedicated to watching over the waterway. Surrey is planning to pave the way for industrial development in the South Campbell Heights area as part of a Local Area Plan (LAP) endorsed by council Sept. 14. The green space is 245 hectares (600 acres) – just over half the size of Vancouver’s Stanley Park. It is home to a second-growth forest about 100 years old, an abundance of wildlife, and the Little Campbell River, which is a spawning area for spring, coho and chum salmon. The plans are located just south of Campbell Heights Park, which also abuts the Little Campbell River, a project the David Suzuki Foundation called one of the worst examples in the province of salmon habitat destruction from development. When the preparation of an LAP for the area south of 16 Avenue near 192 Street was endorsed by council, Coun. Tom Gill surprised many when he asked that an old gravel pit be turned into a truck parking facility. He wants that done prior to the compleAFFORDABLE

tion of the Local Area Plan. It’s unusual to push development ahead of local plans for the area, but Gill told Black Press this is a special circumstance. “Need,” Gill said when asked about the hurry. “There is a need for truck parking throughout the city.” There are currently 1,300 big rigs parking illegally in Surrey, which impact residential areas and farmlands, he noted. The truck park would allow truckers to wash their rigs, change oil and tires, and would include washroom facilities. Gill said he would insist on the highest environmental standards so there would be no impact on the Little Campbell River. But Phillip Milligan, president of the Little Campbell Watershed Society, is outraged at the plan. “We have a lot of concerns about that,” Milligan said. “How do they keep the effluent, all the chemicals, all the brake fluids, the antifreeze – how to they keep all of the oils out of the river?” He said that section of the Little Campbell River is an important salmon spawning area, home to spring, coho and chum salmon, as well as steelhead and cutthroat trout. “The Little Campbell, believe it or not, is

one of the most productive steelhead rivers in the Lower Mainland,” Milligan said. Because it’s a relatively small river, any pollutants entering the water could be devastating for the fish population. A truck parking facility on that site could be catastrophic, he said. “That’s the last thing that you want right beside the river,” Milligan said, adding he’s bothered by the speed at which Gill is advancing the idea. “I don’t know why Gill is pushing this right now,” Milligan said. “We have this LAP program that everything has to go in order. Why would one council member be pushing to put forward a development like this?” Surrey has struggled with a truck parking shortage for years. Gill has taken up the cause, pushing for more opportunities for truck drivers to legally park closer to home. He insists there will be catch basins for oil and other measures to help prevent a spill in the Little Campbell River. Staff will review the plan before it comes back to council. Eventually the development plan would have to undergo a public hearing, where residents would have their say on it.

By Sheila Reynolds There may not be any new classroom space ready for the school year, but students – especially younger ones – continue to flow into Surrey schools. Early projections have the Surrey School District growing by approximately 285 students this year. While the number of elementary school children is rising rapidly – up 410 – the number of high school students is decreasing by about 125 from last year. Despite the steady growth, there is no new school space opening this fall in Surrey – the largest school district in B.C. with about 69,500 students. However, there are some school additions in the works in areas with rapid housing development and school overcrowding. Adams Road Elementary, in

the fast-growing Clayton neighbourhood, is in the midst of construction of a 10-classroom addition that’s slated for a spring 2016 opening. There are 13 portables at Adams Road, though some are needed because of the construction. Rosemary Heights Elementary in South Surrey, which has seven portables on site, should start to see a two-classroom addition begin to take shape later this month, as should nearby Morgan Elementary. It’s hoped the extra space at both schools can be occupied by early in the new year. Ground has yet to be broken for a much-needed high school in the Clayton North area, but it’s hoped the project will go to tender in October. A high school takes about two years to build, however, leaving Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary and nearby Clayton Heights Secondary continuing to operate under severe space constraints. There are 13 portables at Lord Tweedsmuir and 10 at Clayton. Both Lord Tweedsmuir in Cloverdale and Earl Marriott Secondary in South Surrey have more than 2,000 students and four years ago implemented flex schedules, forcing different grades to start class at alternate times to accommodate the student overflow. Though the district owns land in the Grandview area of South Surrey, the province has yet to provide funding to build a high school there that would take the pressure off Earl Marriott Secondary. “The Earl Marriott crowding is beyond belief,” said Shawn Wilson, chair of the Surrey Board of Education, who’s received no indication that funding is coming anytime soon. “Space-wise, it looks like we’re just going to endure until we get approval for Grandview.” The total number of portable classrooms in Surrey this year is 274 – about the same as last year. Sullivan Heights Secondary in Newton has 14, while Hazelgrove and Katzie Elementary schools have six and five portables, respectively. The situation is a little different in Delta, where overall student enrolment is projected to rise only slightly. Estimates put the number of students headed to Delta at approximately 15,180, about 40 more than last year. – Black Press
Surrey sets SAIL New to the Surrey School District this fall is the SAIL program. SAIL – the Surrey Academy of Innovative Learning – was born from the Surrey Connect online learning program. Surrey Connect (under the umbrella of SAIL) will continue to offer online courses for Grades 10-12. However, SAIL will also offer three new academies: one based in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM); one focussing on arts (STEAM) and another for athletics and performing arts excellence (APAX). All the SAIL programs incorporate Makerspace, a shared student space that promotes peer learning and knowledge sharing, along with creativity, innovation and problem solving through inquiry-based study. The Grade 8 academies combine home online learning with face-to-face classes with teachers three to four days per week. A wing at Brookside Elementary (8555 142A St.) has been transformed to host SAIL’s kindergarten to Grade 7 students. Bridging school and home learning, the program gives parents an opportunity to take a more active role in their child’s education and work with teachers to determine grade-appropriate strategies and tools, again using the unique Makerspace environment.

Federal leaders spar on economy By Tom Fletcher The three contenders for the prime minister’s office clashed in their second debate last Thursday evening in Calgary, where slumping oil prices and industry layoffs framed a discussion on the economy. NDP leader Tom Mulcair accused Conservative Stephen Harper of having a “rip and ship approach” to natural resource development, adding that Harper “put all of his eggs in one basket, and then dropped the basket.” Harper said it is “simply false” that the oil industry’s woes represent the entire economy, and overall it continues to perform well and produce more tax revenue despite a 40 per cent reduction in small business taxes and other tax cuts. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau said his plan also includes reduction in small business taxes, and he emphasized he is the only leader willing to raise personal income taxes on the wealthiest one per cent of income earners, to finance a cut
for the middle class. Moderated by David Walmsley, editor of The Globe and Mail, the debate drew out differences between the three established party leaders on several topics.
Greenhouse gases: • Mulcair favours a cap-andtrade system, but he avoided questions about what his system would cost the economy or consumers. The NDP will “enforce overarching sustainable development legislation,” he said. • Trudeau defended his position that each province should address emissions in its own way. He said Mulcair wants to impose a national bureaucracy, including on B.C., which Trudeau called a world leader in use of carbon tax. • Harper said carbon taxes are about revenues to government, not the environment. He said under his 10-year administration, Canada has seen a decline in emissions while
the economy grew, adding that his government invests $1 billion a year in alternative energy.
Infrastructure: • Trudeau defended his plan to run three deficits of up to $10 billion to finance roads and other infrastructure, with interest rates at a low ebb and Canada’s debt relative to the size of the economy declining. • Mulcair called Trudeau’s plan “reckless and uncosted,” while the NDP calls for steady investment over 20 years. • Harper said over 10 years, his government has spent 15 times what the previous Liberal government spent on infrastructure. That includes record deficits for public works projects in the wake of the 2009 economic crisis.
Taxation: • Harper said the other parties promise tax relief for small businesses, but their plans to increase Canada Pension Plan
and Employment Insurance premiums amount to a payroll tax 10 times as big as their small business tax cuts. • Mulcair said he will raise income tax from 15 to 17 per cent for large corporations, but he believes individuals are paying their fair share now. Mulcair reminded viewers that Trudeau has supported Conservative budgets, and his first vote in Parliament was to support Harper’s tax “giveaway” to big business. • Trudeau emphasized that his is the only plan that increases taxes for bank executives and other wealthy individuals as well as on banks, while reducing income tax on the middle class. Green Party MP Elizabeth May wasn’t invited to the Globe debate, but chipped in with videos on her Twitter account. In one, May noted that there was no discussion of “investor state agreements” such as one with China that have intruded on Canada’s sovereignty.
Board of Trade hosts federal candidates forum Surrey’s biggest federal election all-candidates’ forum is tomorrow night. Federal candidates from five Surrey ridings will debate the issues at the all candidates’ forum, hosted by the Surrey Board of Trade in partnership with the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. Business leaders, their staff, and members of the community are invited to meet the candidates and hear their responses on a number of topics, including crime, environment, industry and infrastructure, international policy, social policy, taxes and transportation. Surrey – home to 16,000 businesses and almost 46 per cent of Metro Vancouver’s total vacant industrial land – is a major strategic economic area that needs the attention of the federal government, Surrey Board of Trade CEO Anita Huberman said, adding the city’s projected population for 2016 is 551,653. The SBoT wants to ensure members have the opportunity to engage with federal candidates from all parties and consider their po-
sitions before casting their ballots on Oct. 19. The forum runs from
6-8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 24 at Eaglequest Golf Course. It’s free, but

Metro garbage fee overhaul criticized Tipping fee ‘chaos’ in past year since province rejected regional district’s attempt to ban waste shipments to U.S. By Jeff Nagel A new shakeup of Metro Vancouver’s garbage tipping fee system is being criticized as unfair. The regional district will charge all municipalities or their contractors a flat $100 a tonne next year to dump garbage collected from single-family homes. But private haulers that pick up from multi-family buildings will continue to pay $80 a tonne – the lowest rate for large loads under the variable tipping fees that continue for commercial waste services. Coquitlam Coun. Craig Hodge voted against the change, calling it an unfair two-tier system. “Out in the public, it looks like we’re favouring privatized services over city services,� Hodge told directors at the Sept. 18 Metro Vancouver board meeting.
The $80 a tonne rate for loads heavier than nine tonnes is unchanged, but the tipping fee on loads less than one tonne will rise from $130 to $133 per tonne, and the fee on mid-size loads climbs from $109 to $112 per tonne. Metro officials argued it’s fairer to charge a flat fee on the municipal garbage so some cities don’t pay more than others under the variable rates. Chief administrative officer Carol Mason said many cities had budgeted to pay the mid-size $109 per tonne rate, so the $100 rate is “better for many of them.� A staff report indicates that may rise to $109 per tonne in 2017. An additional $5 transaction fee is charged on all loads. Metro moved to the variable rates in April to give a deep discount to large commercial haulers who had increasingly been sending

waste to Abbotsford and then to a U.S. landfill because of the relatively higher cost of using Metro transfer stations. All other users have effectively had to subsidize the large loads. The regional district had tried last year to ban the shipping of garbage out of the region, but that was blocked by the provincial government. The outflow of commercial waste has sharply declined thanks to Metro’s price-cutting strategy, as well as the higher cost of sending garbage to the U.S. due to the weak Canadian dollar. That’s expected to mean Metro will avoid a $4.5-million deficit previously projected on its waste operations. The regional district has also cut eight jobs and pared $2 million from the $90-million solid waste budget. Directors say they can’t return to a consis-
tent tipping fee structure without once again spurring haulers to go elsewhere, depriving Metro of fees and the ability to enforce bans on the dumping of recyclables. “It’s the best compromise that we can come up with,� Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said. He blamed the province’s rejection of Metro’s waste export ban for creating the pricing “chaos.� Several municipalities remain concerned that the higher tipping fees charged to people who take small loads of junk to a transfer station is causing more illegal dumping. But Metro officials say there’s been no observed increase in illegal dumping, which they estimate at as many as 50,000 incidents a year, costing local cities an estimated $3 million to clean up. – Black Press

selfie� and “don’t flush keys or cellphones� alongside a more frequent message: “never flush wipes.� An informative video goes further, cautioning against flushing other “unflushables� – such as tampons, dental floss and hair – in fact anything other than the “fellowship of the throne: pee, poo and toilet paper.� Jammed sewer pipes and pumps have been a growing headache and Metro says it’s already cost $100,000 so far this year to pry out twisted masses of the wipes that are often marketed as flushable. But nobody wants to see the icky reality inside the sewers, said Metro corporate communications manager Larina Lopez, hence the decision to go funny. Lopez said a survey found most wipes being flushed are personal hygiene wipes used by women in bathrooms, not baby wipes. Women will therefore be the $85,000 campaign’s main target, she said, with ads in public washrooms and in other media, as well as a roving pink port-apotty to emphasize the message. If it works in Pitt Meadows – the regional district will measure if fewer wipes end up stuck in the pump station that serves that area – then expect the campaign to roll out across the region. Meanwhile, the pitch can be found at neverflushwipes.ca.

Annual event set for Campbell Valley A Langley wildlife rehabilitation centre is asking visitors to take a walk on the wild side on Sunday, Oct. 4, in scenic Campbell Valley Regional Park. The event, which begins at 11:30 a.m., is Critter Care’s seventh annual walk-a-thon fundraiser, supporting the hundreds of orphaned and injured animals brought to the facility each year. Participants are invited to walk two or four kilometres, and they’re encouraged to bring along a few friends — human and canine alike. The walk-a-thon will be followed by barbecue. This year was a particularly busy one for Critter Care, which took in more than a dozen bear cubs from across B.C. Nine cubs were released back to the wild in remote areas last June, but several more will remain through the winter to fatten up in the safety of Critter Care’s large enclosures. “This has been an absolutely crazy year, very busy with so many animals,� said Critter Care founder Gail Martin. Critter Care specializes in the treatment, care and release of sick, injured and orphaned mammals, including skunks, porcupines, beavers, raccoons, coyote, deer, otter, bobcats, lynx, bears, opossums and squirrels. The society relies on donations from the public and some community grants to operate. Food and specialized formula is expensive and fundraisers such as the walk-a-thon go a long way to help cover those costs, said Martin. Register for the walk online at crittercarewildlife.org/walkathon or phone Cathy at 604-2025697. Early bird registration fee is $10 until Sept. 25. After that it is $15, with children 12 and under paying $5. Pledges and registration starts at 10:30 a.m. The walk will begin at the south end of the park.

Phone call scams see spike in Cloverdale G
reetings to our Cloverdale, Port Kells residents. It is that time of year when kids go back to school and we turn our focus to ensuring that all students and pedestrians are safe in and around school zones. Recently, Surrey RCMP Traffic Services and its partners, the Surrey School District, ICBC and the Surrey Crime Prevention Society, wrapped up another successful “Think of Me” traffic
safety campaign. The five day campaign resulted in 2,500 drivers being issued handmade school zone “warnings” from students, as well as 100 violation tickets issued and the arrest of a prohibited driver. The campaign coincided with the first week back to school in order to draw attention to traffic and pedestrian safety, especially in and around school zones. On average, two child pedestrians aged 5 to 18 are killed in Sur-
rey every year. Please slow down! Reports of phone call scams have spiked here in Cloverdale and in other locations in Canada. Over the last four weeks, our local district office has dealt with over 85 occurrences where unknown subjects are making intimidating and threatening phone calls to residents. During these phone scams the caller usually identifies himself as being from the Canada
Revenue Agency (CRA) and requests funds that are owed against a false debt. The caller is extremely forceful in their demands. During these phone scams, the caller may state that the victim owes money due to tax discrepancies and threatens arrest if the money is not paid. Alternatively, the caller may state that the victim has immigration issues and payment is required. The victim is then advised to transfer

In his eyes, the one and only goal is sticking with the Vancouver Giants for the 2015-16 hockey season. “I haven’t even thought about that,” said the 16-year-old about where he would play should he fail to land a roster spot with the major junior hockey club. “I am just working day-to-day, trying to get better and learn from the older guys on the team.” Malm was a second round pick of the Giants in the 2014 WHL bantam draft and this is the first year he is eligible to play in the league. As of Monday morning, he was among 15 forwards still on the roster. But while a few cuts may be made this week, it’s expected Malm will be in the lineup Friday when the Giants begin regular season play with a home game against the defending WHL champion Kelowna Rockets. Malm played the start of his minor hockey with the Langley Minor Hockey Association before switching to the Burnaby Winter Club. And so far, he is showing that he belongs at the highest level of junior hockey in Canada. “First and foremost, he had a tremendous rookie camp — he led in almost every category offensively and carried that right into main camp,” said Giants coach Lorne Molleken. “He is a skilled player who plays extremely well in tight areas or traffic areas. “The physical play through training camp never seemed to
bother him.” Malm, a five-foot-nine, 180-pound forward, scored twice in preseason play and didn’t look out of place in a league for 16 to 20-year-olds. “Just stepping on the ice and feeling the speed of the guys, that has probably been my biggest eye-opener so far,” said Malm, who scored the first goal for the Giants in a 5-4 win over the Kelowna Rockets in a preseason game last Friday at the Langley Events Centre (LEC). Malm is used to lighting up the scoreboard at the LEC, the home rink of the B.C. Hockey Major Midget League’s Valley West Hawks. He led the Hawks last season with 20 goals and 66 points in 31 games, finishing second in the league scoring race by one point, despite playing seven fewer games than the winner. Offence has never been a problem for Malm, a gifted playmaker forward. The question is how he will do against older and tougher competition. “Right now we are just watching to see if he can handle the pace of the game and to make sure he is strong enough to play at the Western Hockey League level, and to this point, he has done a tremendous job,” Molleken said. This is the coach’s first year behind the Giants bench but he remembers Malm from watching him during bantam leading up to the draft when Molleken was a coach with the Saskatoon Blades. “The puck just seemed to follow him around the ice, so what
that tells me is that he puts himself in proper position all the time to get the puck back or put himself in a position to check a guy to try and get it back,” Molleken recalled. “He is no different than any other younger guy in that he needs to learn how to play away from the puck a little bit.” Malm is confident in whatever role the team needs. “I just want to come in and be an energy guy,” he said. “Try and put up points, but that is really hard to do at this level, especially as a 16-year-old. “I just want to come in and work my hardest and see where it goes.” He is also hoping to use the experience he gained last month to his advantage. Malm was invited to a Hockey Canada U17 development camp in Calgary, one of several agegroup evaluation camps held at the same time. “It was unbelievable; I just learned so much,” he said. “Talking to some of the guys that played on the world junior team, them talking about their experiences with Hockey Canada, was amazing. “It really prepared me for playing on the Giants so far.” The Giants are at home in the Pacific Coliseum for their first two games of the season this weekend. They host the Seattle Thunderbirds at 7:30 p.m. Friday night, and on Sunday at 6 p.m. the defending WHL champion Rockets are the visitors. – Black Press
