70 stop-work orders on illegally built additions remain in limbo

Big homes issue still looms large for Surrey

SPEEDING TICKET? Thanks to B.C.’s crowded courts, only a fool wouldn’t ﬁght it, system-savvy drivers say by Jeff Nagel

utifully paying a traffic ticket without disputing it has become a sucker’s game. That’s the street wisdom circulating on web discussion forums where motorcycle and car enthusiasts trade tips on how to beat their traffic violation tickets in B.C.’s congested courts. They point to the case of Michael Podger. The Kelowna heavy equipment salesman was ticketed by police in November 2007 for making an illegal lane change without signalling. He disputed the ticket, but delays in the court system dragged the case A Black Press until January of special series 2009, when Podger investigating the – representing congestion and himself – successfully delays in B.C.’s persuaded a judge to legal system. toss out his ticket on the grounds that his right to justice within a reasonable time had been violated. Since then others – often repeat speeders – have been boning up on constitutional law to challenge their own tickets.

by Kevin Diakiw LEGAL ACTION against 70 people who illegally built

additions to their homes remains in abeyance as the city figures out what to do about house sizes in Surrey. Just weeks before the 2008 election, Surrey council unanimously voted to shelve legal action against 70 homeowners who continued construction on their dwellings without permits. The move to put the lawsuits in abeyance came at the request of a lobby group known as the Surrey Ratepayers Association (SRA), the same organization now asking the city to review house sizes. On Sept. 26, 2008, Kalvinder Bassi, director of the SRA, asked council “direct that all actions by the city related to seeking compliance with the RF zone (single family residential) related to unauthorized additions or deck enclosures be held in abeyance.” It was less than two months the civic Coun. Bob Bose election,before and Bassi had a petition with more than 4,000 names on it. Both Bassi and several councillors told The Leader at the time there was no political pressure in making the decision to put legal action on hold. When the city chose to delay legal action against the homeowners who undertook illegal construction, it also started a process of re-examining all single family residential zones.

Delta sets deadline for suite owners

Betty pays a visit OWL (Orphaned Wildlife) educator Sue Davies show off a Great Horned Owl named Betty to kids at the George Mackie Library in North Delta on Tuesday morning. OWL is a non-proﬁt society located in Delta that rehabilitates injured birds of prey.

Surrey still ﬁne-tuning policy by Kevin Diakiw SECONDARY SUITE owners in Delta have until next year to register the dwellings or they face court action and hefty fines. The Corporation of Delta introduced a secondary suite bylaw last year, and found, like Surrey, the number of people applying for permits was low. So Delta put together a carrot-andstick approach to entice people to legalize the suites by Jan. 31, 2012. To encourage people to act early, the costs of permits and inspections are free. And those who register their suite before the deadline will have $300 deducted from their secondary suite utility fee. Hugh Davies, Delta’s manager of property use and compliance, said there have been about 80 of the estimated 7,000 suite owners who have begun the process. He expects that number to rise significantly this summer. Delta is going to every home with a secondary suite and giving the homeowners a brochure letting them know the benefits of getting their property permitted early. If their secondary suite is not made legal by Jan. 31, 2012 the homeowner faces court action and fines of $200 a day. “Bylaw enforcement is all about compliance,” Davies said. “It’s all about getting people to do what they’re supposed to do.” In Surrey, only one person out of more than 20,000 estimated suite owners has applied for a permit to legalize their suite. Since Surrey passed its bylaw three months ago, it has been informing the public through its website, and officials say there are no plans for incentives. There is no Hugh Davies deadline set for compliance. It is also unclear what measures will be taken if people do not comply. Acting Mayor Barinder Rasode said last week the first action will be to educate the public. She doubted the city would directly mail suite owners, but would instead use social networking sites to inform the public. More information about Surrey’s secondary suite bylaw is at http:// www.surrey.ca/bylaws-policieslicenses/7617.aspx To learn about Delta’s program: http://www.corp.delta.bc.ca/suites.

NEIGHBOURHOOD CONCEPT PLAN

ARE YOU A RESIDENT OF SURREY WHO WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE A CITY-WIDE PERSPECTIVE ON NEIGHBOURHOOD CONCEPT PLANS IN WEST CLAYTON? The City of Surrey has begun the process of preparing a Neighbourhood Concept Plan (NCP) for each of West Clayton Area #1 and Area #2, as shown on the map below. For each NCP planning process, a Citizen’s Advisory Committee (CAC) will be established to work with City staff and consultants in developing the NCP. The CACs will consist of property owners in the NCP Areas, representatives from nearby community associations and the Agricultural Land Reserve, and citizens at-large. Applications for “citizen at-large” CAC members are currently being accepted. On the CACs, “citizen at-large” members will represent the interests of the city as a whole, and will observe and participate in CAC discussions by providing a city-wide perspective on the NCP areas.

Zones: City committee believes there are too many in Surrey From page 1 On Sept. 29, 2008, council decided that “actions being taken by the City to address existing unauthorized house additions as described in the subject letter be held in abeyance pending Council consideration of the (staff ) report and recommendations.” The city began a review of the RF zone that would increase the allowable house size from 3,550 to 4,550 square feet on a lot of more than 6,000

square feet. The increase in size could render most of the unauthorized expansions legal. More than two years later, the review of the RF zones has been moved to a new committee in charge of reducing red tape within the city. Committee chair Linda Hepner said she hopes to have the house size issue dealt when the committee makes sense of all different zoning within the city. “We’re going to bring

back a whole bunch of housekeeping issues around zones, we need to know all the issues,”

Hepner said. “I was told by the committee in our very early analysis we have too many zones.” Reducing the number of zones may change their description enough to deal with the RF zone issue adequately, she said. “I hope that’s a solution because that’s the easiest solution,” Hepner said. At least one councillor is astounded that the issue is in a red tape reduction committee. “This is a huge issue, it doesn’t get any bigger than this,” said Coun. Bob Bose. “I’m flabbergasted that this is now in the hands of the red tape committee. What’s that going to do?” He said the issue belongs in the hands of council. As for the 70 homeowners who built extensions on their homes illegally, they will eventually have to meet civic standards, according to Surrey City Manager Murray Dinwoodie. He said that “very few” of the homes have already been dealt with because they represented a public safety hazard. Even so, those that have been dealt with remain without proper permits. “Whether they comply or don’t comply (with the B.C. Building Code) has not yet been determined,” Dinwoodie said. He said the right order to do things is to establish what the zoning will be, then determine whether the structures meet building standards. Hepner said the red tape reduction committee will meet again in May. She expects to have the matter resolved by summer or fall.

Surrey/North Delta Leader 7

No faith New leader, same old government in justice system

I WOULD LIKE TO respond to Bill Ferguson’s

letter dated March 23 regarding underfunded schools. I am of course in complete agreement that our education system is drastically underfunded and we definitely need financial solutions that will correlate with our educational decisions that directly involve our children. I am miffed by the statement “We have a new government.” I am responding to the wild idea that people have that with a new premier we have a “new government.”

Where? When? I have a modicum of political savvy, and memory tells me that Gordon Campbell is no longer premier in B.C. and Christy Clark has replaced him. Every other member is exactly the same, albeit some have a new title. I also remember the time when the new premier was minister of education. The tension between her and the BTCF was an acrimonious event. She closed 120 schools in B.C., which was her solution to the financial difficulties of our education system. I do wonder what has miraculously changed

her beliefs after she quit provincial politics in 2004 and lost the nomination in the NPA mayoral race in Vancouver, 2005. Premier Clark also said that there is no need for a public inquiry regarding the Basi-Virk controversy. The misconception that this is a “new government” is perhaps wishful thinking and people are grasping at straws. Politics makes strange bedfellows If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

J. McDonald, Surrey

B.C. is beautiful, in theory

WHEN I SEE garbage dumped on

the side of the road, on or near farmland, I always wonder what would motivate people to do this. The only word I come up with is ignorance. Think about it: They obviously own some sort of vehicle to transport this mess to its current location, that vehicle has not one, but two licence plates. Both of those plates have numbers and letters stamped on them, some of the letters actually spell out Beautiful British Columbia. So try to imagine loading up your van or truck with your junk, driving down a country road, perhaps in the middle of the night, finding a spot, dumping your mess and driving away, with your licence plates proudly displaying those words. Sounds like you’re pretty ignorant, right? Another motivation to do this might be the fact these idiots believe they are going to save themselves some money by not going to the transfer station or the dump. Again, ignorance prevails. By dumping their load on the roadside, they have created a mess for the city to clean up. That job is paid for by taxes we all have to pay, about $6 million last year.

PHOTO BY JEANETTE PARKES

A resident of Port Kells describes the persons who dumped this load of trash on the side of the road as ignorant. Imagine what else we as taxpayers could do with $6 million if ignorant people didn’t dump garbage on the streets. Maybe their taxes may go down

about 20 bucks or so... or the cost of a trip to the dump once a year. Anyone caught doing these crimes should be re-educated, be made to clean up the streets –

perhaps wearing a bright yellow jumpsuit with a large I printed on the back, I for ignorant...or Idiot. Robert Gary Parkes, Port Kells

Minimum effort on minimum wage SO B.C. CHAMBER of Commerce President and

CEO John Winter is concerned with the speed of implementation of minimum wage to reach $10.25 per hour. It’s hypocritical if not laughable. As to speed, a decade has passed since the minimum wage was increased and that is a direct result of businesses digging in their heels, even during the boom times, to any suggestion of an increase. So while businesses were padding their bottom lines and giving themselves (as they still do) hefty wages, bonuses and perks, those that helped create that wealth were left behind. According to Statistics Canada’s 2006 census on income and earnings, the richest fifth of the population grew 16.4 per cent between 1980 and 2005 while the poorest fifth saw earnings tumble 20.6 per cent over the same period and earnings for those in the middle stagnated. And there is absolutely no indication that this

As a final insult Mr. Winter touts how “the chamber network provides an invaluable resource for policy and decision makers.” So do citizens and we are tired of being likened to children... seen but not heard. Janice Crawford, Surrey

Chamber of Commerce not endearing itself to workers trend is changing. In fact it has become a runaway train. Mr. Winter also conveniently forgets that taxpayers are already very generous to businesses, picking up the tab and doing without vital social services so that their tax breaks/credits/incentives (whatever you want to call them) remain in place. Then there’s the government loans at premium interest rates to which businesses avail themselves, all thanks to taxpayers.

B.C. CHAMBER of Commerce President and CEO

John Winter whines on behalf of the chamber. This is the organization that has vehemently opposed raising the minimum wage for 10 years. Maybe if it had gone up to $9 an hour five years ago, this increase wouldn’t be such a shock. Also I can’t wait for the Charter complaint of discrimination for servers having a different minimum wage than other workers. Rick Hobbs, Delta

I TOTALLY AGREE with Part 2 of

The Leader’s Justice Denied series, “Victims in limbo,” (March 25). I have been through the criminal court system with an abusive spouse and now the family court system with the same abusive spouse. The point that “time-intensive megatrials suck up vast amounts of resources for courts, police and prosecutors, leaving less time to dispense justice for more run-of-the-mill criminals,” is so true. The more backed up the system gets, the less weight is given to the “run-of-the-mill criminals” who continue to victimize others once they figure out how the system works. My ex-spouse had assault charges against him previously for assaulting his ex-wife. He has also had a previous weapons ban charge for seizure of an arsenal of weapons from his home. Then he assaulted me. Both assault charges were thrown out by Crown counsel due to their opinion that a conviction was not likely. But if the system wasn’t so overrun, would those charges have been dismissed so quickly? I was finally able to get a criminal harassment charge to stick against my ex when he wouldn’t stop phoning me. That was bargained out into a peace bond for six months. I applied for a restraining order after the peace bond ran out, and that was ignored by the family court judge. Then the court passed on my contact information to my ex. They actually gave my phone number to a man who had previously been charged with criminal harassment for phoning me repeatedly. Consequently, I am still dealing with this man. He has access to my children, who witnessed his assault on me in 2008. I don’t answer my phone anymore. I live in fear every time my children leave with this man. He is an alcoholic, an abuser of women, has been diagnosed with mental health issues, has tried to commit suicide twice, was accused of sexually assaulting his sister, etc. I have no faith in the justice system in this province. It failed my ex’s first spouse, it failed me and now it is failing my children. But he is just a run-of-the-mill criminal? Only until he shows up one day when he finds out our address and we become a newspaper headline.

Guilty plea in Manitoba drug seizure by Sheila Reynolds “New Students Only”

www.bikramyogasurrey.com #107, 15310 103A AVE. SURREY • 604-951-9642

A SURREY woman will

not be visiting Park

Place or purchasing a house on Marvin Gardens, but will instead be going to jail for her part in a drug smuggling scheme in Manitoba. Harpreet Kaur Bains, 28, was arrested in December 2008, as were two other women from Manitoba, after border guards in that province found several kilograms of heroin stashed inside Monopoly boxes disguised as Christmas presents. Bains pleaded guilty to a charge of importing, while Winnipeg resident Amanda

Kazubek pleaded guilty to trafficking. The third woman, Tracy Lynne Pongratz, had her charges stayed. The seizure, worth about $250,000, was said to be the largest by Manitoba RCMP. Officials believe the drugs originated from the United Kingdom and were intended to eventually end up in Surrey. Bains and Kazubek are scheduled to be sentenced in June. — with files from CTV sreynolds@surreyleader.com

convicted on organized crime charges and sentenced to seven years in jail. Daniel Michael MacNeil was in court last Wednesday and was found guilty of trafficking for conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, commission of an offence

for criminal organization, and possession of prohibited/restricted firearms with ammunition. The conviction comes as a result of a 15-month investigation into the drug trafficking organization of MacNeil, Sukminder Cheema and Yasmany Castillo. It focused on a drug operation in Surrey and Langley. At the conclusion of the

investigation, several arrests were made and charges of criminal organization, conspiracy to traffic in controlled substances, possession for the purpose of trafficking along with individual substantive charges of trafficking and possession for the purpose of trafficking were approved against numerous individuals. newsroom@surreyleader.comw

Asbestos inspection squad to expand WorkSafeBC targets contractors who put their workers and residents at risk by Jeff Nagel WORKSAFEBC should

broaden a crackdown now underway against construction contractors who illegally expose workers and residents to asbestos contamination, according to an industry spokesman. The Crown agency has an expanded team of 10 inspectors in the Lower Mainland now hunting for improper asbestos handling, typically at sites where old homes are being demolished or renovated. Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association CEO Peter Simpson applauds the move but says more must be done to target unlicensed renovators and builders who are more likely to break the rules. “There’s a lot of underground stuff going on,” said Simpson, noting under-the-table dealing has increased as a result of the Harmonized Sales Tax. “They need to ferret out the unscrupulous folks who operate under the radar to avoid getting permits and avoid WorkSafeBC compliance.” Simpson said homeowners should also take responsibility and ensure their home is assessed for environmental hazards, particularly if it’s older than 1980. If asbestos is found and needs to be removed, they should ensure they use only reputable, licensed builders. Improper removal during renovation can leave residents exposed to asbestos fibres and cause lung disease or cancer decades later. “You can’t see it, you can’t smell it and you can’t taste it,” said Al Johnson, WorkSafeBC’s regional director for construction. “You breathe it in and you breathe it out and some of it goes deep into your lungs and you don’t even know if you’ve been exposed.” He said 25 to 30 house demolitions have already been shut down over asbestos mishandling so far in 2011. Several old houses are coming down daily in the City of Vancouver alone, he noted, adding the team welcomes public tips on suspicious worksites. “There’s enough out

there to keep our 10 guys very busy,” Johnson said. Simpson said some of his members are also concerned remediators who remove asbestos have jacked their prices dramatically in response to the WorkSafeBC enforcement

drive. He’s also troubled by reports that some firms that assess buildings may falsely report no asbestos content, eliminating steep removal costs and allowing a cheaper renovation or demolition to proceed. “The homeowners

and the renovators should have the confidence that the assessor knows what they’re doing and is not fudging the results,” Simpson said. WorkSafeBC last year fined Bhupinder Chahal (BC Hazmat Inspections Ltd.) $1,750

for repeatedly certifying asbestos had been safely removed from sites in Coquitlam when the firm did not know who removed the materials or how it was done. “It did not conduct any sampling to confirm that the worksite was free of contamina-

tion before certfiying it was safe for the workers to enter,” according to WorkSafeBC’s annual enforcement report. Other firms – including Canadian Custom Homes Centre Ltd. in Coquitlam, Nystart Developments Corp. in Vancouver and Skylite

Building Maintenance in Burnaby – were fined $2,500 last year for overseeing job sites where workers weren’t correctly safeguarded against asbestos exposure. Once asbestoscontaminated material See WASTE / Page 10

Waste: May contain asbestos From page 9 is removed from a site, it’s supposed to go to the Vancouver Landfill in Delta, where workers equipped to handle the material ensure it’s deeply buried. Most construction waste goes to commercial recycling operations, which screen for hazardous waste and take it to the landfill. Metro Vancouver transfer stations also screen incoming loads to make sure asbestos isn’t being dumped there,

exposing workers to harm. Suspicious loads are required to undergo testing. Paul Remillard, Metro’s division manager for contracted services, said it’s rare that any asbestos makes it into the transfer stations, adding regular testing shows asbestos is well within safe levels. But Simpson said unlicensed operators who are already dodging WorkSafeBC scrutiny and other standards may not follow any of the rules on disposal either.

“It’s going to be dumped at the side of a road somewhere,” Simpson predicted, adding more must also be done to combat the trend towards illegal dumping. Surrey spent $830,000 last year cleaning up illegal dump sites discovered within its boundaries, a 22 per cent increase. A Surrey firm was recently ordered to pay $15,000 for illegally dumping asbestos-laden drywall last year at a New Westminster recycling facility. jnagel@surreyleader.com

ILLEGAL DUMPING / ABANDONED WASTE

Illegal dumping is a serious and growing problem in Surrey. Abandoned garbage is not only an eyesore but it impacts our City in many negative ways. Illegally dumped material makes neighbourhoods look ﬁlthy and unsanitary and also has serious effects on the environment, wildlife habitat and the ability of others to use and enjoy outdoor recreational areas. Let’s respect each other and dispose of waste properly. To ﬁnd disposal locations, or report illegal dumping incidents, please visit www.surrey.ca or call Surrey’s Engineering Service Request Line at 604-591-4152.

From page 5 Tolling schemes can apply to just specific lanes rather than the entire system, or tolls could vary depending on the time of day to encourage travel at offpeak hours. “There’s a whole supermarket of options you can look at,” he said. Walton hopes public attitudes soften as people realize they may be able to change how they travel and avoid paying tolls, or choose to pay and benefit from improved travel times. “People need to see a connection between any proposed tax and a shifting of travel patterns and behaviour in a way that benefits everybody – that frees up road capacity and increases the number of options.” TransLink has named consultants IBI Group as well as professors from

three Ontario universities – Andrew Bevan, Enid Slack and Harry Kitchen – to research options for the mayors. “We’re casting the net wide looking for best practices,” Walton said, adding the aim is to gain approval on multiple new sources. Mayors last December refused to pass an expansion plan tabled by TransLink’s board that would have seen property taxes jacked significantly as an interim step while other sources are explored. The mayors had been pressured by the province to okay the tax hike to start paying TransLink’s promised share of the costs of the Evergreen Line, which is supposed to begin construction this year. It’s now back to the drawing board and Walton is canvassing new transportation minister Blair Lekstrom to gauge the Christy Clark government’s willingness to approve new cash streams. The mayors previously wanted TransLink to get a share of future increases in the carbon tax, an idea that remains on their agenda. Also to be considered, Walton said, is whether the province’s existing

tolling policy should change. B.C. currently allows tolls to be introduced only on new or significantly improved roads or bridges and only if there’s a reasonable free alternative. That blocks any kind of tolling or road pricing scheme that would charge consistently across the region. Many South of Fraser residents and politicians say it’s unfair that bridges into Surrey are so far the only ones tolled or expected to be tolled. But Walton said the North Shore would be “outraged” if their only crossings were tolled without improvements and without any free alternative. “So what is the principle you are going to use?” he asked. “If you did the North Shore, why would you not also do the new bridge across the Pitt River, the Burrard Street Bridge, the Granville Bridge, the Cambie Bridge, Knight and the bridges to the airport? “This is the challenge most of us have with arbitrary tolling of bridges. There needs to be an underlying principle.” To fairly deliver road pricing, he added, transponder detection points

would be needed not just on bridges, but likely also at various points along major highways to more accurately track and charge for use. Walton hopes to begin regional meetings with local politicians on some of the options by late April. TransLink has told the consultants the short-term aim is to find a revenue stream that can start generating $50 to $100 million a year almost immediately, and identify other cash streams that will take longer to implement. Consultants are to consider “equity, influence on travel demand, economic impacts and revenue generation” in assessing the options. Without more revenue, TransLink can’t cover its $400-million share of the Evergreen Line costs, let alone build new rapid transit lines in Surrey or along Vancouver’s Broadway corridor. Its expansion wish list also includes running three SeaBuses and adding more buses, SkyTrain and West Coast Express cars. It’s the second time in just over two years that TransLink has begun a wide-ranging search for new long-term funding. A cellphone levy and a

tax on containers moving through the port were two contentious options on a list of 28 tabled for discussion in late 2008.

More voices for Pickton inquiry New round of less formal hearings by Jeff Nagel B.C. ATTORNEY General Barry Penner

has agreed to widen the mandate of the province’s Missing Women inquiry. The probe into how serial killer Robert Pickton was allowed to prey on vulnerable women will still use formal court-style hearings where those testifying face cross-examination. But the addition of what’s called a study commission will also allow Commissioner Wally Oppal to hear from more witnesses, including First Nations, in a more informal, less adversarial setting. That’s expected to mean more people are heard from northern B.C., along the so-called Highway of Tears where many women have vanished over the years, without having lawyers or legal standing at the inquiry. “The study commission will provide more information for the commission, while ensuring the police investigations regarding Robert Pickton are fully examined to determine if proper procedures were followed,” Penner said. The inquiry is expected to report

back by Dec. 31 on how to improve any future serial killing or missing women investigations. The inquiry will tour several yetto-be-determined northwest B.C. communities in mid-June. The study commission is to allow a broader discussion of policy issues, although Oppal has indicated he may not stray as far from the central issue of police investigations as some advocates would like. Ernie Crey, brother of one of the women whose DNA was found on the Pickton farm, wanted the inquiry to look hard at government policies that concentrate vulnerable women in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. “I’m getting very impatient,” said Crey, who applauded the change but says time is of the essence. “We need to get this rolling.” The inquiry is to focus on what happened in the five years between 1997 – when a woman escaped from the Port Coquitlam farm after nearly dying in a bloody knife fight with Pickton – and 2002 when he was ultimately charged with murder after several more women were killed. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Hiebert brochure ‘jumped the gun’ Conservative MP’s literature mailed before election call by Alex Browne FEDERAL Liberal can-

didate Hardy Staub is taking incumbent Conservative Russ Hiebert to task for an election brochure mail-out sent to voters days before the upcoming federal election was called on March 26. Staub said in a press release that Hiebert should admit if taxpayers paid for the mail-out – which other critics are estimating must have cost at least $8,000-$10,000 to print and mail. “The people of the constituency deserve to know without delay who paid for the printing and mailing of your brochure that arrived in riding mailboxes before the dissolution of Parliament,” Staub said, addressing an open call to Hiebert in his statement. “It says something about your ethics that you jumped the gun – while your government was so emphatic it didn’t want an election – by mailing selfpromotion ahead of the actual election call.”

Staub said it was also telling of the tactics of the Harper government in general. “Isn’t it amazing that Mr. Harper and all the Conservatives said ‘no – we don’t want an election, it’s unnecessary,’ and suddenly, boomboom, before the writ is dropped the election material is out there.” Hiebert lashed back angrily at the comments.

regulations – which cover the campaign only – it’s not illegal for campaign materials to be distributed prior to the election call. “It follows the letter of the law but not the spirit of democracy,” he said. NDP candidate Susan Keeping said she feels the campaigning violated an unspoken rule usually followed by election candidates.

“I can’t believe that he (Staub) is asking this when his own party, his own candidates were out doing this,” a fuming Hiebert said. “Is he really that illinformed?” But other candidates for the South SurreyWhite Rock-Cloverdale riding were also lining up to take shots at Hiebert’s – and the Conservatives’ – electioneering practices. Green party candidate Larry Colero noted that, under Elections Canada

“How would you feel if you were running a race and the whistle was about to blow, and somebody jumped the fence and started running?” Keeping said funding of the campaign advertising was “a deeper question” she fears will never be answered honestly. “It’s almost like, ‘how much money can we spend so that it’s not included in our cap (on election spending)?’” she said, adding that tax dollars paid for

Russ Hiebert Conservatives’ full-page magazine advertisements promoting the most recent federal budget. Independent candidate Aart Looye said he feels the local brochure mail-out – and the way it was paid for, is consistent with Hiebert’s past record. “Mr. Hiebert feels he’s entitled to use whatever resources are available to him,” he said. “It’s an abuse of power.” Looye said he also believes current election regulations are not strong enough to take Hiebert and other Conservative candidates to task. “Where is the accountability? The ultimate accountability will be at the polls,” he said. Hiebert rejected the criticism. “Hardy and his party had literature out last week – there’s no difference,” Hiebert said. “The NDP and other Liberal candidates had their campaign signs up last week – there’s no difference.” Hiebert also said there was no question of where funds for the campaign mail-out came from. “(The mail-out) says clearly that it was authorized by the agent for the Russ Hiebert campaign. It was paid for by the local Conservative electoral district association,” Hiebert said. arts@peacearchnews.com

Backlog: 52,000 disputed traffic tickets in the queue From page 1

Leonard Doust, head of the Public Commission on Legal Aid.

What about justice for all? Access to legal aid lacking for those in need: Report by Sheila Reynolds A MIDDLE-AGED woman finds herself in the midst of a

bitter fight for spousal support she never anticipated. She can’t afford a lawyer, and turns to legal aid for assistance. A victim of abuse, her situation is complex, but not as difficult as the legal maze that soon consumes her life. She’s found that people she thought she could count on to help simply can’t – because of a lack of funding and resources. “It’s systemic discrimination” against those unable to fund their own justice, she says, adding most in her situation simply abandon the process because it’s so daunting. Between 2002 and 2005, government funding to Legal Services Society of B.C. (LSS) – the provider of legal aid – was cut by 40 per cent and 85 of the legal aid offices in B.C. were closed. Between April 1, 2009 and March 26, 2010, the society saw funding cuts to family law, including dispute resolution and category one criminal law – offenses such as breach of probation or failure to appear. Immigration and refugee law services were also cut. Some services have since been restored. Five LSS regional offices, including the one in Surrey, were closed last spring but were replaced with local agents – private lawyers on contract with the society. And LAWLine, the LSS’s telephone legal advice service, was replaced with an expanded, province-wide call centre. But many feel access to legal Leonard Doust aid remains insufficient. Statistics show that in Surrey alone, just over half of the applications for legal representation for family matters were approved in the past year, while about 60 per cent of immigration applications got the go-ahead. Legal aid for criminal and child protection issues fared better, but applications were still denied for nearly a quarter of the cases. Veteran lawyer Leonard Doust says legal aid should be treated as an essential service. Doust, leading the Public Commission on Legal Aid – an independent group representing six legal bodies – headed a recent inquiry into legal aid in B.C. His resulting report, Foundations for Change, released in early March, summarizes that “the overwhelming majority of submissions spoke to the general failure of our legal aid system, the negative repercussions for needy individuals and families, and the consequent adverse impact on our communities and justice system.”

“(Legal aid) is an absolutely essential public service.”

See JUSTICE / Page 18

If it takes longer than 10 months for their ticket dispute to be heard, they can make a strong case for a judicial stay of proceedings, citing Podger’s case and other rulings as precedent. It’s not necessarily a slam dunk. Challengers have to prove they were ready to proceed on each appearance date – in other words it was the system, not their own foot-dragging, to blame for the delay. They also have to show they suffered prejudice from the delay. The judge in Podger’s case agreed he experienced stress and was deprived of three days of pay when he took time off work to prepare his case and attend court. Podger said he’s used the delay argument several times to persuade authorities to cancel his traffic tickets. He’s also coached more than a dozen other motorists on how to use the case law. “Most of the time it gets stayed,” Podger said. “I’m the only one that’s had to go fight it that I know of.” Surrey lawyer Daryl Brown, who gave him some advice, said Podger is far from the only driver beating tickets on the basis of unacceptable delays. “More people are becoming aware of the ability to make these arguments,” he said. “You’ve got guys who aren’t firsttimers,” Brown added. “They’ve got a few tickets. And they’re looking at losing their licence if they get any more.”

he jam up of traffic tickets is just one more symptom of a court system in crisis in B.C. By 2010, a backlog of 58,000 disputed traffic tickets had built up. The Provincial Court of British Columbia, in its Justice Delayed report, blamed staff cuts at the ticket-processing centre in downtown Vancouver for the clog, because there aren’t enough employees to input the data and schedule dispute hearings. Officials at B.C.’s Ministry of Attorney General claim the problem is in decline, with the backlog easing to 52,000 tickets as of January 2011. But ICBC statistics show the number of traffic tickets being disputed has steadily crept up – from about 11 per cent up until 2007 to 15 per cent in 2010. More than 75,000 violations were disputed last year – 20 per cent more than five years earlier. They add to the pressure on traffic courts, where Justices of the Peace (JPs) hear most challenges, and to the caseload of regular provincial court judges, who must hear any challenges based on delay because JPs can’t rule on constitutional matters. “The ministry is aware of the backlog and is considering its options for ways to reduce it,” said attorney general ministry spokesperson Linda Mueller. More staff to enter tickets and schedule hearings would help, she said, but staffing priority goes to the areas of greatest need – criminal cases and serious civil or family law cases. ICBC officials note more than 60

Surrey lawyer Daryl Brown says more people are becoming aware that court congestion can be used as a tool to beat trafﬁc tickets. per cent of tickets disputed are upheld in court, although that’s down from 68 per cent found guilty five years ago. And when ticket challengers win, B.C. municipalities lose out. Cities get $63 million a year in traffic fine revenues shared by the province to help with policing costs. Surrey alone receives $5.9 million annually.

Stern said delays have worsened over the past year. He sometimes shows up to court in Surrey to find his client is one of four trials slated to go ahead in the same courtroom that day.

While the direction at that time was that legal aid representation had to be provided to those who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford it for some areas of law, the rules were changed in 2001 and legal aid is no longer mandatory. For the most part, the Legal Services Society agrees with Doustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s findings, endorsing the notion that legal aid should be recognized as an essential public ser-

vice and that significantly more funding is needed. But the chair of the society also believes a fundamental shift is necessary in the way legal aid and those using it are viewed. Access to justice is often examined from the perspective of judges and lawyers, said Mayland McKimm, but when seen from the perspective of those caught up in the system â&#x20AC;&#x201C; often against their will â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the view is much different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is essential that we look at the justice system from the bottom up, not the top down, in order to understand its relevance to the resolution of legal problems that people face in their lives,â&#x20AC;? the longtime family and criminal lawyer told members of the Law Society of B.C. in early March. What judges and lawyers say is not necessarily what the average resident and those â&#x20AC;&#x153;ensnaredâ&#x20AC;? in the system want to hear, he said. He said in consultations with more than 100 people, it was found many legal aid users had more immediate and basic hurdles to get past â&#x20AC;&#x201C; child care, poverty

and transportation issues â&#x20AC;&#x201C; before they could begin to worry about getting a lawyer. For many, especially in remote communities, the biggest barrier to justice is just being able to get to the courthouse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What does it matter if there are more lawyers, or that they all agree to slash their fees, if a single mother looking for child support has no one to look after her kids while sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in court?â&#x20AC;? he asked, suggesting improving accessibility â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like having more flexible court schedules or daycares in the courthouse â&#x20AC;&#x201C; would go a long way to improving the legal aid system. A second significant component to access to justice, said McKimm, is helping people understand how the legal system can assist them and making them less afraid of the process in general. This, he said, could perhaps be achieved by integrating legal services with trusted social services â&#x20AC;&#x201C; instead of sending people to lawyers. Financially, he said, LSS is working on reducing the cost of large criminal cases so that

more resources are available for access to justice initiatives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can lessen the resources â&#x20AC;&#x201C; financial and judicial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that the guns-and-gangs cases eat up, there may well be more resources available for access to justice initiatives and legal aid,â&#x20AC;? said McKimm.

Legal aid, but at what cost? Leonard Doustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call to action last month for increased legal aid services may be applauded by some, but not the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF). Gregory Thomas, spokesperson for the CTF, said citizens shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be on the hook for the $47 million in recommendations suggested by the Commission on Legal Aid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taxpayers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust defence lawyers to do the right thing with their legal aid money,â&#x20AC;? Thomas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If defence lawyers ran legal aid, we would need to close every school and hospital in the country, because there would be no money left for anything else.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with ďŹ les from Saanich News

Canadians a confident bunch. An overwhelming majority of Canadians are confident about purchasing a new home, according to a new Royal Bank of Canada poll. The poll shows that 90 per cent of Canadians are confident about real estate in Canada as an investment, though rising prices are still a concern. Canadians are quite proud of their real estate prowess. Eighty-five per cent of Canadians feel they are doing a good or excellent job of paying down their mortgages, says the 18th annual RBC Home Ownership study. Nearly three-quarters of Canadians – 73 per cent – believe that they or their family are well-positioned to weather a housing drop, states an RBC release. “Canadians believe in the long-term benefits of owning a home including the value it can provide, both personally and as a long-term investment,” says RBC head of home equity financing Marcia Moffat.

“Last year’s survey showed that people were looking to buy ahead of rising costs. This year marks a return to more normal levels of purchase intentions and recent housing data reflects this move to a more balanced market.” Interest in purchasing a home during the next two years has declined slightly, but remains high overall, as 29 per cent say it’s likely they will buy, the report says. Although down two points from 2010, this number is still higher than any other year since 2006. Homebuyers list rising home prices (26 per cent) as their number one concern about buying a home, followed by rising mortgage rates (22 per cent).

Healthy, sustainable living in South Burnaby

It’s so much easier to be Green

dera’s Green is settled into a hillside, affording homeowners generous balconies and decks and beautiful views for most homes. KERRY VITAL

Kermit the Frog would be very happy living at Adera’s Green development in South Burnaby, devoted to healthy, sustainable living. Now selling the final phase of four, homes range from 618 to 1,213 square feet, all built in a West Coast Modern style. Buyers can choose between two stylish colour schemes. Every residence includes laminate kitchen and bathroom countertops and porcelain floor tile in the entryway, kitchen and bathrooms. Owners will also enjoy the ceramic and mosaic tilework on the kitchen backsplash and bathroom tub surrounds. Adera vice-president of sales and marketing Eric Andreasen says they have had people waiting for this phase to be completed after the popularity of the first three phases. After going to customers and asking what they liked and disliked about Green, Adera took what they said into account and introduced the ultra-gourmet kitchen after noticing interest in fancier kitchens, Andreasen says. This phase also includes enhanced landscaping and roof decks on all four suites. These changes were solely based on buyer feedback, says Andreasen. Each home is kitted out with G.E. Energy Star appliances and solar panels to heat water as part of Adera’s commitment to sustainable living. Green also includes a car-sharing program, with every owner receiving a membership to the fleet. Residences also include energy-saving lighting, and low volatile organic compounds paints and carpets. The development includes one-, two- and threebedroom residences, all built to promote energy conservation. Green is close to the Byrne Creek Watershed and the Taylor Community Park. The Edmonds SkyTrain station, shopping, schools and restaurants are all within walking or short drive distance. Nestled into a lushly landscaped space with flowers, ponds and courtyards, Green includes walkways that connect to the watershed, and include trails that can be used for walking, cycling and running. Green also includes the Seasons Club, an amenities building that

NATURAL LIVING

Homeowners at Adera’s Green can have the peace of mind of living in one of B.C.’s ﬁrst Built Green developments. Every home is built to be environmentally sustainable and created to promote energy conservation. Martin Knowles photos

includes a games room with a billiards table, a library, a fitness studio with a yoga room and infrared sauna and an entertainment lounge with an outdoor patio. It also includes an on-site concierge service, which is available 24 hours a day. One feature that has proven popular with homeowners is the underground road system that keeps cars out of sight, and parking areas that are hidden under each building. This contributes to a feeling of peaceful, quiet seclusion. To find out more about Green, visit www.adera. com. With ﬁles from Tricia Leslie

t was something he didn’t anticipate when he wrote From Cairo To Cairo. South Surrey author and world traveller Kieran Nelson admits he was taken by surprise by the recent revolutionary turn of events among Arab nations – including the relatively peaceful overthrow of the Mubarek regime in Egypt and the current violent rebellion in Libya. His experiences travelling through the Middle East in late 2007 – the basis of From Cairo To Cairo, a fascinating and uncompromising travel memoir – had suggested the status quo in that part of the world would be a long time changing. “I didn’t see this coming – I really didn’t, although I believe I saw some of the frustration among the youth and other political groups in Egypt.” But Nelson said it’s an illustration of the barometric accuracy of one of his passions – economic history. All of the affected nations have shown tremendous recent growth in gross domestic product, he said. “It’s the classic idea of rising expectations among the people, which has occurred in all of the revolutionary situations – including France, Ireland and Russia.” The economic crisis that stopped expectations from rising was likely the tipping point for Egypt, he added. “People started to find fault.” The Elgin Park Secondary grad – who earned his masters degree in global history at the London School of Economics after gaining a bachelor’s degree in philosophy at a the University – said of Victoria (UVic) ( can often economic history h paint a truer tru picture of causes of events than the cause conventional history, convent which often exhibits the bias of o the victors of successive wars. succe “Economic history “E is a way of looking at history in a more objective m way than most p people do,” he said. Objectivity is important to Nelson, who said his eventual goal – after he writes some more travel books – is to become a professor of economic history at a university, most likely in the U.K. He’s part of a younger generation of travel writers, bloggers and filmmakers who, rather than accepting mass-media

Journey of discovery Surrey author and traveller Kieran Nelson has documented his experiences in a new book

Kieran Nelson looks out over Cairo. accounts of other cultures, are keen to investigate for themselves. Funded by savings accrued doing summer construction work, he was able to spend months following graduation from UVic exploring the Middle East with his younger sister and two friends. As he writes in From Cairo To Cairo, they found themselves among “hundreds of young travelers streaming in from the West, lured by a profound fascination with the Middle East.” The book, published by Calgary-based Bayeux Arts, recounts their experiences in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel and Palestine. While it started life as an as-ithappened blog, it was reshaped by Nelson with the benefit of experience, and some hindsight. “This book is an example of how I taught myself to write – to find the sort of voice I wanted,” said Nelson, who is now at work on a second tome recounting travel experiences in eastern Europe. While his fascination with economics might suggest a tale as dry as desert dust – that’s far from the truth of From Cairo To Cairo, a highly readable book teeming

with richly observed anecdotes of fleeing refugees, militia groups, immigrant soldiers and victims of torture, and other young people, like a Egyptian woman named Nermine, who challenged all his cultural preconceptions. Nelson titles one chapter Innocents Abroad in a nod to Mark Twain – but it also conveys the relative inexperience of the travellers. That they didn’t retain their innocence long is clear from the book’s share of hair-raising episodes, including being interrogated by the Hezbollah after straying, unaware, into forbidden territory, and being shot at by Israeli troops. “Citizen journalism can be an amazing experience to go through,” Nelson said. “But I would counsel others who want to do it to stay safe.” Nelson said the experience could only be summed up as “culture shock” – even with previous exposure during trips to West Africa and Guatemala. “Faced with culture shock, political correctness collapses within days,” he writes. “It is one thing to live in a ‘multicultural’ society of mostly Westernized people; it

is quite another to live in a place where another culture swallowed you whole.” The book’s very even-handedness is unlikely to please anyone expecting a black-and-white polemic reinforcing their own preconceptions. “I never once tried to tailor what I wrote to what the public may think about it.” Nelson freely admits he found both philosophical and spiritual inspiration not only at sites sacred to Christians and Jews – but also Islam. “It made me more sympathetic to the Islamic point of view,” he acknowledged. “When I first went to the Middle East I had misconceptions; the normally held view of Israel and Palestine. The issues are far more complex than I thought.” In the journey of discovery, the biggest change was in Nelson himself. “It was a journey to understand my own mind as well,” he said. He has been heartened by the reception he has received for his book. “People have told me they felt like they were on the journey themselves – which is a good thing.” arts@peacearchnews.com

Why all the Fuss about Bras These Days

What’s the most important garment a woman will ever wear? Possibly a wedding gown, graduation robe, or a gala dress? Many health professionals would suggest it is a bra. Yvonne Hogenes of Malary’s Fashion Network in downtown Cloverdale suggests that the reason for this is because the bra is increasingly being understood as a garment which can either help or deter breast tissue health, as well as overall health. “As women become more aware of how a bra helps or hinders respiration, circulation, neck stress, lower back pressure, lymphatic drainage, and postural correction, they are becoming more informed and fussy about their bra choices,” she claims. Malary’s markets its proprietary TAB bra as a health bra constructed without underwires or elastic fabric in the straps or cups. Licensed by Health Canada as a Class 1 medical device, the TAB bra is rapidly growing in popularity across the country. “More and more, women are understanding that the sooner they take good care of their breast tissue the easier it will be to maintain optimal breast tissue health” says Yvonne. That’s why TAB is promoted with the tagline “Better Bra, Better Health, Better Life”. Fittings are provided at Malary’s at no cost, and the educational advice provides valuable awareness for every woman.

Dressed for hospice

he Run Inn recently brought together Tsawwassen’s fashion community by hosting a fashion show that raised $1,500 for the Delta Hospice Society. Participating retailers included Xtreme Clothing, C’est Moi, Lucky Surf & Skate, Lola Bleu, John Michael Menswear and the Delta Bike Company. The theme of the fashion show was A Day in the Life, and began with the latest trends in running and cycling apparel carried by Run Inn’s Tsawwassen and Kerrisdale stores, the newest bikes were shown by the Delta Bike Company. Day trends shifted into evening looks for men and women from the fashion stores. Guests, who were treated to an evening of fashion, music and refreshments, were also included in a draw for door prizes put together by each of the businesses – they went home with everything from gift certificates to watches and clothing. “We are really pushing towards a community that is proactive and progressive in terms of local involvement and growing local business,” said Kevin Ridley, owner of the Run Inn. “We wanted to include local businesses and business people and showcase the services and products that they offer. I really feel the evening accomplished this, and would like to carry this theme forward and continue to showcase local businesses by hosting other future fashion events to benefit a local charity.” “This was truly an amazing evening. We are so thankful to this group of individuals and businesses for choosing to recognize the Delta Hospice Society with such a first class event,” said the Delta Hospice Society’s Dalyce Wickett. “The more ways we can get the message out that our services are for everyone in the community, the better, and this was a wonderful venue to sponsor this message.” Delta Hospice Society operates the Harold and Veronica Savage Centre for Supportive Care and the Irene Thomas Hospice, as well as the Hospice Cottage Thrift Store. The Centre for Supportive Care provides information, resources, group support and individual and family counselling to those families dealing with the diagnosis of a life-limiting illness such as cancer, ALS and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as those experiencing grief and loss.
