Most polluting off-road engines subject to fees

Counting birds in Delta

New rules hit dirty diesels

Many species in Boundary Bay, Fraser River estuary

by Jeff Nagel

Staff Reporter

OWNERS OF THE most soot-spewing backhoes, excavators and other diesel equipment in Metro Vancouver must now register their machines and pay hefty annual fees. A new regional bylaw takes effect Jan. 1 that Metro hopes will prod equipment operators to upgrade to cleaner diesel technology to help reduce cancer, respiratory illness and other health risks from particulate pollution. The most polluting off-road diesel engines are classified Tier 0 and must be registered and labelled with a ‘T0’ decal to operate in Metro. They’re being charged $4 per horsepower for 2012, but Metro intends to steadily raise the fees in the years ahead and expand the rules to more machines. Fees that start now in the hundreds of What do you think? dollars – for a 100email newsroom@surreyleader.com horse excavator, for example – could be in the thousands within a few years. Owners who retire a Tier 0 machine or upgrade it to Tier 2 or better will be refunded 80 per cent of the fees paid in the previous three years. Diesel soot emissions are responsible for about two-thirds of the lifetime cancer risk from air pollution in the region. Off-road equipment accounts for more than 40 per cent of diesel emissions in Metro and the machines have not been upgraded as swiftly as onroad diesel trucks, which make up about eight per cent of emissions. Ships are the biggest emitter at 43 per cent, but off-road machines are considered a bigger danger because they operate closer to where people live, work and play. Diesel engines smaller than 25 horsepower are exempt, as are farm machines, emergency generators and recreational machines like ATVs and snowmobiles.

BIRDERS AND nature enthu-

Sleepy snowy owls

Two snowy owls rest on a log in Delta’s Boundary Bay during a stopover on their Paciﬁc Flyway migration route. According to local birder Glen Browning, the owls travel from the Arctic every four to ﬁve years when the population of their primary food source – lemmings – diminishes. But the Lower Mainland’s wet climate is hard on the birds and many do not make it back. Although the owls are equipped with dense feathers, they cannot waterproof themselves very well. Snowy owls come to Boundary Bay, where they hunt waterfowl, as it closely matches the wide-open tundra habitat they are accustomed to. For more photos and video go to surreyleader.com

siasts in Delta will join others across the western hemisphere to participate in Audubon’s longest-running wintertime tradition – the annual Christmas Bird Count today (Dec. 27). The Ladner Christmas Bird Count is open to birders of all skill levels and each area team needs people who will be drivers, recorders, or spotters. Each teams is led by experienced birders who will work with the team in identifying all birds seen. The Ladner Christmas Bird Count was started in the mid 1950s and has always been one of the top three counts for bird species seen in Canada. In 2010 the Ladner count was number one in B.C. and tops in Canada with 144 species. Generally mild winters and availability of food make Boundary Bay and the Fraser River estuary a major wintering area for many species that spend their summers in Siberia, Alaska and Northern Canada. Following the day’s count the teams will gather at the George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary. Those interested in participating can contact the count coordinator Jude Grass at 604538-8774, 604-219-2043 or by email at judegrass@shaw.ca.

Family sets up bursary for murdered teen Police also release video featuring two possible witnesses by Kevin Diakiw ONLY A FEW MONTHS after Maple Bata-

lia was gunned down in a North Surrey parking lot, her family is setting up a bursary in her honour. Batalia was 19 years old when she was shot and killed on Sept. 28 in a parkade near the Surrey campus of Simon Fraser University. She had been studying late and left for the parkade just before 1 a.m. when she was shot multiple times in what police believe was a targeted attack. Batalia was an aspiring actress, model, who was planning to go to medical school. Those dreams died with her.

Now, the Batalia family wants to help another student achieve their dreams by setting up an educational bursary in Maple’s honour. “It gives my mom a little bit of peace and my dad a little bit of peace, and we hope that Maple’s looking down and she’s proud,” sister Roseleen Batalia told CTV News. The family has boosted the fundraising initiative with a $10,000 donation. They hope it will eventually reach $50,000. Details about the contributions can be found on the “RIP Maple Batalia” Facebook page. At the same time, the city is planning a memorial for Maple at Holland Park, where a vigil was held for her days after she was killed. Coun. Barinder Rasode said Surrey is working with family and SFU to plant a maple tree, and install a bench, as well as a work of art.

If you wish to remain anonymous phone Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or go to Solvecrime.ca

“Because she was so vibrant and artistic, the family would like to have an art piece commissioned for the park that everybody would enjoy,” Rasode said. Maple and her mother used to walk though Holland Park sharing moments of her life, Rasode said, making the park an appropriate place for the memorial. “That was the place to Maple Batalia, 19, talk,” Rasode said. was gunned down in Surrey in September.

Police arrest three people suspected of stealing mobile devices by Kevin Diakiw MOUNTIES have nabbed

three teens believed to be responsible for a string of recent street robberies. On Dec. 13, Surrey RCMPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Robbery Unit arrested three suspects believed to be responsible for a number of thefts of handheld electronics. Zakaria Noor, 18, Michael Lal, 19, and an unnamed young offender are facing 12 counts of robberyrelated charges from crimes committed in Newton. More arrests and charges are expected as the investigation continues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a number of victims identified, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just not as cooperative as we need them to be,â&#x20AC;? said RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger. Police are concerned about the activities of an organized group of males who have been robbing people of their mobile phones over the last few months. Typically, the victims are responding to online advertisements to either sell or buy a mobile phone. The victims are threatened with physical violence, sometimes with a weapon, and are robbed.

Character strength key to less teen violence Student survey shows factors that may contribute to youth success one of the project’s coinvestigators. “These findings confirm the relevance of character strengths and suggest there may be value in additional efforts to build gratitude, humility, selfesteem, and authenticity.” The project involves Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Surrey School District and Simon Fraser University. Participating students, with support from teachers and administrators, filled out confidential 22-page surveys that asked questions about things such as their social connections and beliefs about

The Powerful Teen Study by the Surreybased Acting Together project, which involved a survey of more than 400 Grade 8 students, indicate character strengths and connections with adults lead to a reduced belief in violence. “Schools and some youth programs already seek to build character strengths,” said Dr. Roger Tweed,

crimes and gangs. The young people were surveyed twice during the 2010-2011 school year, with a follow-up survey scheduled to take place in 2012-2013. Some parents and teachers were also surveyed. According to Acting Together, the findings so far from youth aged 12 to 14 reveal that: • Gratitude and authenticity (i.e., belief in being true to oneself) are associated among boys with lower rates of fighting and fewer beliefs justifying violence; • Self-esteem and humility are both associated with fewer beliefs justifying violence;

• Youth can have both self-esteem (belief that one has value) and humility (belief that others are as important as oneself); • Involvement in adult-directed leisure activities (arts, community groups organized by adults, religious activities, school clubs, and volunteer work) is associated with self-reported authenticity; • Students who reported that their parents generally know where they are and who they are with have both fewer delinquent beliefs and higher life satisfaction;

• Most students agreed that a teacher or other adult at school shows concern for them; • Most students do not see many benefits to gang membership, but some are aware of only one or two of the many costs of gang membership.

The purpose of the study, Tweed told The Leader last year, is to examine what factors keep kids out of trouble – to focus on the strength to be built upon, rather than the problems to avoid. The Acting Together project is federally funded by the Social

All-in airfare pricing

RAESIDE

magine going to a restaurant for a $5 steak dinner, but when you get there you discover being seated at a table will cost you $5, a surcharge of $7 for the plate and utensils and another $4 for the server to take your order. Add on the tip and HST and suddenly your cheap meal has become an expensive night out. That’s how Canada’s airlines have been allowed to operate. It’s marketing strategy; advertise only the base cost of the ticket, with the full price of that ticket, including all its various surcharges, fees and taxes revealed when the purchaser is about to commit. Consumer advocates have been complaining about it for years. In fact, the federal government did do something about it, adding the “all-in-one” airfare advertising clause to the Canadian Transportation Act in June 2007. But lobbying by the airlines, which claimed the new pricing policy would put them at a disadvantage to foreign airlines who could continue to advertise only their base fares on their own websites, has delayed its implementation for years. That’s about to change. European airlines have been required to advertise the complete cost of a ticket since 2008. In January, American airlines will also fall in line with all-in airfares. The competitive disadvantage argument no longer exists. So why will Canadian consumers have to wait another 12 months for a five-year-old law to finally be enforced? While it’s likely that only the most naive traveler believes they could actually travel to England for $99, requiring the airlines to be up front when advertising their fares will empower consumers when making the best choice for their travel spending. – Black Press

Student has perfect start to winter break Brar will see how hopeless welfare ‘Majestic beauties’ being sacrificed system is

AS HAVE MANY OTHER secondary students in Surrey, I sometimes asked myself, “What was a good way to start our winter break?” TV, video games, parties and Facebook were too “ordinary” for us. Being part of the Fraser Heights Leo Club, we and Guildford Leo Club launched our Christmas Celebration with the seniors at Arbourside Court Senior Centre in the first afternoon of winter break.

We caroled together with the seniors and performed several exciting performances, such as a magic show and electric slide dance, sharing our youth strength with the seniors. I felt so warm inside because we actually did a good thing, and made a difference. As one of the seniors told me, “You guys did a great job. Thank you for bringing out the liveliness and Christmas spirit.”

Christmas was for everyone, so was winter break. Spending a day with the seniors was such a good way to start our winter break. Therefore, do not be selfish, share your winter break with the people around you, and you will receive more than you give.

I WOULD hate it if one day my

great-grandchildren came to me and asked me, “where am I going to hang my tire swing?” I just feel that if we keep going in the direction that we are going, we will lose too many of our trees. I voted for our Mayor Dianne Watts because she said she stood for keeping Surrey green, and that Surrey is supposed to represent the “city of parks.” I am all for development and making Surrey an inviting city to move to, but when it comes to sacrificing our beautiful old and majestic trees, I protest. There is a development of apartment buildings going in right beside where I live at the Arboretum Housing Co-op at 105 Avenue and 154 Street, and the developer is planning to cut down 63 out of the 71 trees, some of them are red cedars. Not only are these trees very, very old, the name of our co-op means tree in Latin. I look out my dining room window and I feel like I live in a forest; I don’t want to look out and see concrete and the trees gone. A lot of developers these days don’t seem to care about losing tees, they only seem to care about making their development bigger at the cost of majestic beauties. The future of our trees seems bleak, and how are we going to respond to that question, “where am I going to hang my tire swing?” S. Jane Stevens President, Arboretum Housing Co-op, Surrey

A wonderful Whalley neighbourhood MY BROTHER, who had lived in the Kootenays for 35 years (fishing was his passion), he came to live with me in my home in Whalley in 2008. In May 2010 he had a heart attack and was given a short time to live – days weeks or months. We managed to get him in the Hilton Rest Home which is located directly behind my home. I would take two of my golden cockers to visit him quite often. During that time, one of my cockers, Tia, escaped twice from my fully fenced yard. The staff phoned to tell me that my dog, Tia, was over

there. She was obviously going over to visit my brother. My

brother passed away in October 2010. It was shortly after that

Surrey’s decorations far from festive I AGREE, the new decorations put up by the City of Surrey this year are

tacky; the ones in North Surrey look like leaking fireworks, and the ones in Newton look like psychedelics left over from some other age...yuck! These current decorations are not festive looking in the least. They are representative of more “politically correct” nonsense; their generic obscurity supposedly designed not to offend seasonal sensibilities. Humbug! Maureen Mann

that I decided I had better replace my 20 year old fence and so I had it done. But today Tia went missing from my yard once more. This is a wonderful neighbourhood. Six people, some neighbours and some I didn’t even know at all, began to search for her, calling her name. A neighbour told me that the mailman had found her and there she was, safe in his arms at the rest home. What a wonderful neighbourhood I live in – Bolivar Heights, Whalley. Irene Gillis Surrey

will be going on welfare. I wish him well. In 2010 I was laid off my job as a supervisor. First I was on EI for a year. Then I had to apply for welfare. To apply for welfare you go online and then wait for a call, and if you miss your call you wait all over again. Then you go and stand in line with your paperwork for up to three hours before you get a number to sit inside and wait to be called up to speak to someone. Having a bad back disc disease, I can’t stand for any length of time and I’m 60 years old and not able to work. Inside, when you finally see someone, they (in the SurreyNewton office) talk down to you and are very rude. Jagrup Brar You should see how long mothers with children and the elderly have to wait outside for everyone to look at us like we are bums. I met some very nice people in line who helped me with where to go for food and help. Thanks to the SAFER program, as of this month, I am off welfare. It has been a nightmare to get $600 a month I had to beg for. Mr. Brar, good luck. Hope you enjoy your $610. And you can see for yourself how the system works, and not having any hope. And good luck to all the people in line... good luck to all of you. Kathy Powell

a contract with BFI Canada last week that will change the way residential waste is picked up and treated. Starting late next year, all organic waste (all food waste, garden clippings, etc.) will be disposed of in a different bin and picked up every week and taken to an organic biofuel facility. Eventually, the resulting gas will be collected and used to power the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) trucks doing the curbside pick-up. In a separate bin, residents will put their normal garbage, which will be picked up every second week and either taken to a landfill or the Burnaby waste incinerator. It’s all part of a longstanding initiative to make Surrey’s waste disposal more sustainable, while having a less detrimental impact on the environment.

Look in The Leader’s January 3 edition for your informative 2012 Waste Collection Program Calendar.

The city manages the collection of residential curb side garbage, recycling and yard waste for approximately 97,000 single-family dwellings each week, in addition to recycling for 30,000 multifamily residential units. The new services come into effect Oct. 1 next year. The cost of the new contract is $9.5 million annually for the next seven years (Surrey has an option to extend it by three years). In addition, Surrey will have to invest $1.5 million per year for the term for the new garbage carts, bringing the total cost to $11 million annually. That’s less than the current contract of more than $12 million, in part because of the less frequent pick-up of garbage headed for the landfill and because of the new automated pick-up.

Avoid holiday ER visits

SURREY’S MOST AFFORDABLE SENIORS’ COMMUNITY

Unnecessary trips to hospital can clog emergency rooms

• Pets allowed

ments are busy places, and during the winter months, visits to local hospitals can increase dramatically. Fraser Health is asking residents to help by taking simple steps to avoid unnecessary trips to your local emergency department during the busy holiday season. “We know that emergencies and other serious health concerns happen every day, but some of the influx of patients during the holidays is related to people needing a prescription refill or a family physician’s check-up when their doctor’s office is closed for the holidays,” said Dr. Craig Murray, medical director for Surrey Memorial Hospital’s emergency department. “People with serious health conditions need our emergency physicians and health care staff to be available when needed, so we are reminding people to plan ahead – check your doctor’s holiday hours and walk-in clinics in your area and get your prescriptions refilled well before you run out to avoid unnecessary trip to emergency during the busy winter season.”

“...we are reminding people to plan ahead.” Dr. Craig Murray Other steps you can take to avoid an unnecessary trip to an emergency department: • If you are unsure about what health services you require or where to access them, call 8-1-1. The toll-free HealthLink BC line provides 24/7 confidential health information in over 130 languages including Punjabi, Cantonese and Mandarin. • Check your symptoms or get more information about a condition online at HealthLink BC www.healthlinkbc.ca or you can

order a book format for easy reference at home. • Take note of the weekend/ holiday hours of your local pharmacy/drug store, and ensure your prescriptions are up to date. • Familiarize yourself with the locations and operating hours of walk-in clinics in your area. http:// find.healthlinkbc.ca/ • Get your annual flu shot. • Wash your hands frequently to avoid spreading and/or contracting viruses and bacteria. • Rest is best. If you feel like you’re getting the cold or flu, drink plenty of fluids and take it easy. • To avoid food-borne illnesses, ensure your cooking utensils, containers and food preparation surfaces are cleaned and sanitized after use, especially if they have been in contact with raw foods. • Store food at the correct temperature (equal to or less than four degrees Celsius or 40 degrees Fahrenheit) and check that it is cooked properly before eating. http://befoodsafe.ca • Follow basic safety precautions: Buckle up, don’t drink and drive, don’t leave open flames unattended, and keep alcohol and potential poisonous substances out of reach from children.

basketball teams will battle for the unofficial city championship next week at the 11th annual Surrey Firefighters Goodwill Classic. For the fifth consecutive years, the Jan. 3-7 event will actually be two tournaments, each named with a firefighter theme. “The Axe division is for the stronger teams, and the Ladder division is for the not so strong,” said tournament director Nancy Innes. “Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary is once again graciously hosting, with Holy Cross, Kwantlen Park, Enver Creek and Princess Margaret helping out for the first couple of days.” In addition to the basketball, seven players or team managers will receive $750 scholarships.

“Bob McAuley will be setting up with his gang for the barbecue, which brings in money for the tournament and scholarships,” said Innes. Six teams are in the Axe division, including the Elgin Park Orcas, a team which has dominated the Firefighters Classic in previous years. They won five straight championships, the last three of those in the Axe Division, before they were upset by the host Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers in preliminary round play last year. That opened the door for the Holy Cross Crusaders to capture their second Firefighters championship. Holy Cross, also winners of the inaugural tournament in 2002, defeated the Panthers 79-42 in the final. The Crusaders, ranked third in B.C. in the Senior AA category, will start this year’s

tournament by hosting the Semiahmoo Totems in a first round game Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. at Holy Cross high school. The winner faces Elgin Park Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at Lord Tweedsmuir. The Panthers will tip-off at noon Tuesday on their home court against the Earl Marriott Mariners. The winner will play the Fleetwood Park Dragons at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, also at Tweedsmuir. Another 14 teams will compete in the Ladder division, with games Tuesday at Enver Creek, Princess Margaret and Kwantlen Park high schools as well as at Lord Tweedsmuir. Following a three-point shooting competition at noon, the two championship games are set for 2:30 p.m. (Ladder) and 3:30 p.m. (Axe) on Saturday, Jan. 7 at Lord Tweedsmuir.

Donner Award for Excellence in the Delivery of Social Services, the award for the highest-performing agency overall. SAS also won the Award for Excellence in the Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse, which came with a $5,000 prize. Altogether 591 agencies from across Ca Canada took part in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competitio tion. This was the first time the award ha has been given to a Surrey charity, and on only the second time in 14 years that a B.C B.C. agency has won. SAS maintains two safe houses for homeless women, who are often sexually exploited and may also struggle with addictions or other problems. The agenc agency also operates a full-time, five-daysa-week school to provide academic and personal education that helps women rescued from life on the streets to re-integrate into society. Some of its graduates have gone from homelessness to owning their own homes as a result of the training and support they received.

Opportunities in 4-H Long-running group focuses on youth development Black Press OPERATING for almost

100 years, 4-H is one of the longest-running youth organizations in B.C. The 4-H program provides young people (ages 9 – 19) with an opportunity to learn

how to work together and become productive, self-assured adults who can make their community and country a good place in which to live. The goal of the 4-H program is youth development. The objectives of 4-H clubs are knowledge, leadership,

citizenship and personal development. Clubs generally focus around a specific project or topic. Historically those projects have attracted youth in rural or farm communities, but many other projects are now available through 4-H.
