Local referendum results split along party lines

North Delta resident Tony Hardie (left) has been monitoring a stretch of land along the Fraser River near the 10400-block of River Road for 30 years. The area is home to two important archeological sites and is rich with ancient artifacts.

HST rejected

by B.C. voters

by Tom Fletcher

THE B.C. government is getting to

work dismantling the Harmonized Sales Tax, a job that may take more than a year and add billions to the province’s deficit.

The HST was rejected by 54.73 per cent of eligible voters, Elections BC reported. The government has promised to abide by a simple majority of voters.

Voting by constituency shows a split mainly along party lines. The strongest vote against the HST was more than 75 per cent in the NDP-held Surrey-Green Timbers and more than 72 per cent in Surrey-Newton Sue Hammell and VancouverKingsway, the home constituency of NDP leader Adrian Dix. Sue Hammell, the NDP MLA in Surrey-Green Timbers, called it a clear rejection of the HST and a victory for democracy.

She said it’s time for the BC Liberals to “get over it” and get on with a return to the PST and GST system.

Paving history – or protecting it?

Ancient archeological sites lay in the path of the South Fraser Perimeter Road

by Jeff Nagel AN ARCHEOLOGICAL dig is now underway at the Glenrose Cannery site –

one of B.C.’s oldest and richest pre-contact locations – just before the South Fraser Perimeter Road paves over it.

The activity near the south end of the Alex Fraser Bridge has sparked fresh criticism from those who think an ancient treasure trove is being sacrificed for the sake of a truck freeway.

“I think there’s a lot to learn there before it’s capped with a highway,” says amateur archeologist Tony Hardie, who questions why work to recover

artifacts didn’t start much sooner and wants authorities to disclose what’s found and where it ends up.

The North Delta artifact dealer has been examining this stretch of the Fraser River for 30 years – ever since he found a stone bead on the beach at age 10 and was drawn into a lifelong exploration of B.C.’s ancient history.

Hardie knows authorities see him as a looter.

Just a few weeks ago he plucked an ancient fluted blade from the eroding riverbank.

Hardie says he went to great lengths to turn it over to provincial officials.

HST vote: Will cost B.C. $3 billion, says Falcon

Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis (left) and several other friends and colleagues spoke Friday at a service for firefighter Cal McKibbon, who died Aug. 18 near Seattle while skydiving.

From page 1 and consumed the apparatus of the Liberal party.”

A narrow majority of voters supported the tax in Abbotsford, Fort Langley-Aldergrove, Oak Bay-Gordon Head, Westside-Kelowna and other seats held by the B.C. Liberals. The strongest support for the HST was more than 64 per cent in West Vancouver-Capilano and 62 per cent in Vancouver-Quilchena, the seat held by Colin Hansen, the former finance minister who introduced the tax in 2009.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon has estimated that scrapping the HST will cost the province about $3 billion in the next few years.

The B.C. government will have to borrow to pay back the $1.6 billion transition fund from the federal government, with a payment schedule that will have to be negotiated with Ottawa.

The finance ministry also projected that the HST would bring in an additional $600 million in revenues in each of the next two years, based on ecoKevin Falcon nomic growth and extending the seven-per-cent provincial portion of the sales tax to a variety of services covered by the federal goods and services tax.

Another cost to the provincial budget will be re-establishing a provincial sales tax administration and audit department. About 300 provincial tax collectors were transferred to the federal payroll when the HST took effect in July 2010.

Businesses will have to forgo input tax credits available under the HST, and convert cash registers and accounting systems back to collecting the GST and PST separately.

The B.C. government finished the 2010-11 fiscal year with a deficit of $309 million. Revenues for the year included the second instalment of the federal HST transition fund. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Motorcycle deaths surge in August Slow down, police warn Black Press

There have been four motorcycle deaths so far in August, mostly due to excessive speed, police say.

Baird: ‘...sometimes you have to deal with less than perfection’ From page 1 The shoreline turns up such finds continually, without excavating.

“The tide goes in and out there twice a day and it’s like a big shaker, it just washes everything out,” Hardie said.

“When somebody picks up an artifact that’s eroding out of a beach, that’s preservation.

That’s a whole different ball game than someone out looting graves and trying to profit from artifacts.”

Dozens of people walk the beach and take what they find, he said, noting it’s been illegal under B.C.’s Heritage Conservation Act since the 1970s to collect or sell such items. (Dealing in artifacts found earlier is allowed).

The Glenrose and nearby St. Mungo sites have been extensively studied.

Aboriginal artifacts discovered there are stored at UBC’s Museum of Anthropology and date back up to 9,000 years.

Some objects have emerged extremely well-preserved from wet sites in which organic material such as wood is slow to disintegrate.

Advocates argue the area should be a national or even world heritage site.

Local First Nations bands, far from opposing the perimeter road, have signed onto a monitoring agreement with the province to guide the archaeology work and receive compensation and jobs for their band members.

The Tsawwassen, Musqueam, Katzie, Kwantlen and Kwikwetlem have all signed on.

Hardie and others believe the government, desperate to build the perimeter road and advance its port expansion agenda, has bought First Nations’ silence to minimize the bad optics.

Geoff Freer disputes that and is anything but ashamed of Victoria’s plans.

The province’s director of the $1.1-billion South Fraser Perimeter Road project said “millions of dollars” are being spent on extensive safeguards to protect the archeological values

along the 40-kilometre corridor.

But no elected aboriginal leader has joined them in trying to block the SFPR. A legal challenge that seeks to halt work on the perimeter road because it would plow through sacred burial grounds was filed in May by two aboriginals.

The plaintiffs are a Sioux Cree member with no local roots and a TFN member who is a longtime opponent of Baird who failed to block the Tsawwassen treaty or win elected office in the TFN government.

It’s not the first time Baird has been on the opposite side of the barricades from the protesters. When Victoria and Ottawa were gung-ho to develop the Pacific Gateway, Baird used the TFN’s strategic position as leverage to negotiate her people’s historic treaty, which critics lashed as a sell-out of scarce farmland to abet the port expansion plans.

Baird is aware of the accusation now that the perimeter road deal is a payoff that makes First Nations complicit in the destruction of their own heritage.

“That’s a naive view of the reality of trying to address development in an urban area,” she responds. “We’re constantly faced with these sorts of challenges.”

Local bands receive an unending blizzard of development referrals in which they’re expected to quickly indicate if a proposal might impact archeological sites, the local environment or otherwise infringe aboriginal rights in their traditional territories.

“We’re very diligent in trying to do the best we can for those sites against all odds – especially in the Lower Mainland, which is constantly under development pressure.”

Unlike private property, the government-led SFPR on what becomes Crown land allowed much more scope and leverage for bands to secure what they felt was appropriate, Baird said.

“Is it perfect? Maybe not. But sometimes you have to deal with less than perfection,” Baird said.

Funding for new schools ‘desperate’

A Surrey ad-hoc committee wants to raise awareness about the immediate need for new schools in the city, which is growing by about 900 new resident per month.

Concerned Surrey residents highlight the urgent need for capital dollars AS THE start of the school year approaches, a group of concerned Surrey residents are hoping to highlight the need for new schools in the rapidly expanding city.

Overcrowding is extremely serious at Surrey schools and there has been a lack of capital funding since 2005, said Linda Stromberg, a member

“...our education system is not a place where we should be economizing.�

Linda Stromberg of an ad-hoc committee formed in March to address the issue. “The new Adams Road school in Cloverdale opened in January of this year, and two portable have been added,� Stromberg said. “Our kids are our future and our education system is not a place where we should be economizing.�

Stromberg – who serves on the ad-hoc committee with representatives from the city, business community, teachers union, CUPE, district parent advisory councils and students – noted it will take up to five years and $273 million to build the schools

Surrey needs today.

And, she added, before construction of those schools is complete, the city’s school population will grow by 4,000 to 5,000 students.

While Stromberg has heard an announcement may be on the way from the government, she said the need for immediate capital funding is urgent.

Surrey School Board chair Laurae McNally agreed. “Oh my God, yes.

There is a desperate need for new schools in Surrey,� McNally said in a phone interview. “We needed it like yesterday. We needed (new schools) four, five years ago.�

About 900 new residents move to Surrey every month and 30 per cent of those new neighbours are under the age of 19, McNally said. “We truly do not fit the mould of any other school district,� she said. “It’s been an uphill battle and those (committee) parents are working very hard.�

McNally said that usually people hear about enrolment declines and schools closing in other B.C. school districts, but that’s not the case in Surrey.

The committee is urging Surrey residents to write, call or email their local MLA, the provincial ministers for education and finance and the premier to express their concerns on the issue.

POST-REFERENDUM POLITICS

HST results bad for Liberals

RAESIDE

T

he rejection of the HST was decisive — more decisive than many observers expected.

While few gave the controversial tax much of a chance, many who follow provincial politics expected it would be a close vote — with the tax losing by three or four per cent, perhaps. Instead, the tax lost by almost 10 per cent.

One of the most interesting things to consider is the geographical distribution of the “yes” and “no” votes. Many Liberal ridings soundly rejected the HST — notably in Richmond, Maple Ridge, most Vancouver Island Liberal ridings, Penticton, BoundarySimilkameen and Kamloops-North Thompson.

In other words, support for the HST was weak, even among Liberals. This does not bode well for the party in the next provincial election, because the Liberals didn’t win the last election by a massive margin. Any siphoning of support to a resurgent BC Conservative Party, or a decision by former Liberal voters to stay home, will badly hurt the party.

The BC Liberals chose Christy Clark as their new leader, at least in part because she had not been part of the government which brought in the HST. Thus far, she hasn’t seemed able to attract disenchanted Liberals back to the fold, and the HST results are proof positive of that. It is highly unlikely that Clark will call an election this year, as has been rumoured for months. The Liberals would almost certainly lose, and no premier is going to willingly call an election they expect to lose. Under the fixed election date law, an election isn’t supposed to be held until May, 2013. This will give Clark some time to try to repair the major damage to the ship.

NDP leader Adrian Dix was jubilant about the referendum results, and he should be.

Not only was it handily rejected in every single NDP riding, but many ridings that he identifies as possible swing ridings either rejected the HST or approved it by very narrow margins. Dix will also be encouraging John Cummins every chance he gets, because the more viable the Conservatives are as an option for dissatisfied Liberal voters, the better the chances are for the NDP to win the next election.

However, Dix and the NDP must put forward sound tax policies. Given that the HST did produce more revenue than the old system, how will the NDP replace that revenue – or is it prepared to cut services and freeze public sector wages?

DP leader Adrian Dix couldn’t contain his glee at the result of the harmonized sales tax referendum.

He seemed positively giddy that the provincial budget will forgo $3 billion in revenue over the next few years, and clearly relishes the prospect of getting back to the legislature in October to resume his demands for more spending in every ministry of the B.C. government.

He can start soon, standing in passionate solidarity with B.C.’s 40,000 public school teachers as they strike to press their demands for huge increases in salary and benefits that already exceed what most private sector workers will ever see.

Bill Vander Zalm was thrilled too, beaming that famous smile as he climbed in his long black Mercedes to resume his comfortable retirement. He never expected to be able to leave the province in a mess one more time, but fate has been kind to him.

He probably still believes he has helped the poor, as he claimed in his nonsensical rants against the HST.

very close to happening in other European countries, and today B.C. is a step closer to it.

When the verdict came in on the HST referendum, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon talked about going around to consult the public on how to reinstate the provincial sales tax. He vowed that B.C. will somehow still balance its budget in two years, and seemed to leave the door open to some minor modifications of the sales tax system.

Premier Christy Clark quickly shut that door. It would be “disrespectful” to do anything other than bring back the postwar PST in all its rustic beauty, with the little boutique exemptions like bicycles and Toyota Priuses that have been attached by politicians over the years.

Self-employed business people can now look forward to collecting and remitting two separate taxes again.

There will be a cost to this “people’s victory.” It will involve reducing public services, raising taxes or both.

Stanley Council ignoring illegal suites problem Cup justice playing Little overtime HERE WE GO AGAIN. Another year has passed

and still nothing has been done about the illegal suites in Surrey.

Mayor Dianne Watts hired new bylaw officers and still nothing is done.

Is this what happens when you want construction at any cost?

When someone looks away on inspection and

IT’S NOW “ONLY” two months since the Vancouver Stanley Cup riot took place on June 16 and all’s quiet on the Western front.

After all, in contrast to the swift justice dealt those London rioters, here in B.C. we take things a little more slowly, secure in the knowledge that our very own Stanley Cup rioters and looters will ultimately be dealt with by the “firm” hand of our justice system, meting out our very own unique action brand of Canadian justice.

No doubt, Canada’s all-purpose Charter of Rights and Freedoms will come to the rescue of all those who, in response to being eventually charged with criminal conduct during their post-playoff love-in, will claim having their Charter right to free expression violated.

Surely that’s the Canadian way, assuring that none of the looters and arsonists will see the inside of a jail cell, but instead will have to face the consequences for their actions and be subjected to the “full” force of Canada’s tough judicial system by being made to endure the indignity of house arrest and the severe punishment of conditionally suspended sentences.

Indeed, can a class action suit against the City of Vancouver be far behind on behalf of all rioters whose pictures were taken without their explicit consent, in clear violation of their Charter Rights to personal privacy?

Their contrived public mea culpas notwithstanding, when everything is said and done, somehow the rioters will manage to emerge unscathed as the true “victims” of Vancouver’s 2011 post-game riot.

The last I heard, about 20 suites have registered out of approximately 20,000.

What’s wrong with council? Is it time to sue the city for not enforcing the bylaws that are on the books?

As homeowners, why are we paying for

schools, police, fire, hospitals, etc. in our taxes when it should be paid by all in provincial taxes?

We are being discriminated against. My own opinion is council is not doing its job on some things.

Tom Godwin, tongue in cheek, complains about the domino effect of noises in his neighbourhood caused by the sirens from emergency vehicles.

Noises in the neighbourhood I WONDER IF THE emergency service drivers might not turn on their sirens at night when passing my farm in North Surrey, near 90 Avenue and 164 Street.

As soon as the sirens sound, the coyotes start howling and then my little dog (pictured), who spends most of his time in the house, starts barking waking me up.

I, of course, like the coyotes because they eat the mice and rabbits that eat the bark off my young trees, so I have no quarrel with them.

Bus drivers No bonuses for aren’t police ICBC workers RE: “TOO MANY free bus rides,” Letters,

Aug. 25.

Perhaps before Mohammed Sahib ignorantly rants about what bus drivers are not doing about unpaid fares, he might actually learn some facts.

We are bus drivers, not transit police, and are instructed by CMBC to not enforce fares – zero confrontation on fare issues.

According to Mohammed’s poorly informed rant, the drivers he would like admonished were doing exactly what we have been instructed by our management to do.

Skip Angus, Surrey

THIS IS IN reply to the “ICBC

works well” letter published Aug. 16 stating that employees work exceptionally hard and deserve the bonuses that are handed out.

While I do agree that ICBC works well, I have never agreed with its employees receiving bonuses.

ICBC is not a private company, where bonuses are quite acceptable.

What is the criteria for receiving these bonuses? I can only think of one way,

by depriving accident victims of their fair compensation.

I work exceptionally hard in a very busy hospital laboratory, but I don’t get a bonus for doing my job well (helping send patients home earlier) nor have I ever expected it.

Public sector employees get compensated for doing their jobs in the form of their wages. Why should they also get bonuses?

Margaret Hangartner Surrey

expanding our human footprint on the land, we not only clear cut our surroundings, but those trees left standing are allowed to be butchered, for the sake of a better view, to a point that they look like the tail end of a French poodle.

We all know what I’m talking about – an old house gets taken down and its tree, which was originally left alone and allowed to grow to maturity, is now considered to crowd the lot.

Because there are a few rules in place not allowing home owners/ developers to cut down an established tree, too often you’ll see up to 10 metres of branches cut off the lower portion of a tree and the top portion left to support the tree for the rest of its life. Taking that even further, I’ve seen cases where individuals remove all but the top few branches.

The outcome in either case is that in a few short years, it will be deemed unsafe and the owners will demand to take it down (putting it out of its misery).

Let’s make it so that trees cannot be altered in any way, without authorities being queried first.

Damaging the tree in this manner should carry the same penalty as removal, since it eventually achieves the same result.

It’s a sad statement about our community when we can’t live with our natural resources and help them flourish rather than bow to the pressures of greedy development.

Our trees provide more than shade and air filtration, they’re home to wildlife that’s under stress to survive.

Let’s be remembered as a group who appreciate where they live rather than a group who saw resources to be exploited and profited from.

A hiring freeze and reduced hours for casual staff are likely, but layoffs of full-time staff are not, Hahn said.

Premier Christy Clark said Wednesday an ongoing independent review of ferry operations should address “structural problems” in ferry operations.

Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom put a cap on ferry fare increases this spring, one of several moves billed as part of Premier Christy Clark’s “families first” agenda. Proposed fare increases of up to eight per cent on northern and smaller routes were capped at 4.15 per cent while Gord Macatee, the new B.C. Ferry Commissioner, reviews rates and makes recommendations to the government by early 2012.

Lekstrom said the review of ferries will examine the current public subsidy, and legislated rules such as minimum numbers of sailings and a restriction on using revenue from busier routes to subsidize smaller ones. tfletcher@balckpress.ca

Virus ‘smoking gun’ in sockeye collapse?

Coffee with Dave Got something on your mind?

Dave will buy your first cup of coffee!

Sat, Sept.10th 3:15-4:30pm The Pantry Restaurant in Guildford Mall

Conflicting evidence on potential role of salmon farms heard at Cohen Inquiry

by Jeff Nagel SALMON FARMERS

have agreed to provide fish samples to federal biologists who are investigating a newly detected virus they suspect is linked to the steep decline of wild sockeye.

The industry had previously refused to cooperate but four major aquaculture companies have now relented, the Cohen Inquiry heard Wednesday.

Dr. Kristi Miller, a genetics researcher with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) in Nanaimo, said she wants to compare virus levels in wild sockeye with samples of farmed Atlantic salmon at various life stages – including juveniles before being placed in ocean net pens as well as later, when wild sockeye are passing the farms off northern Vancouver Island.

Miller testified she

found wild sockeye salmon with a particular genetic signature are 13.5 times less likely to return to reach their spawning grounds than ones without the signature.

She said a parvovirus recently identified appears to be the likely culprit, but agreed with another DFO biologist that more research is needed to prove if it is actually infectious and causing lethal disease.

Miller said the virus “could be the smoking gun” that explains the premature deaths of millions of sockeye in recent years although another DFO researcher, Dr. Kyle Garver, said it is “pure speculation” to read too much into the findings yet.

Miller maintained she believes some pathogen, likely a virus, is harming salmon before they enter the Fraser River and contributing to an extremely high pre-

Dr. Kristi Miller spawn death rate.

“Fish were already compromised before they entered the river,” she said, adding that proves river conditions alone cannot explain the sockeye decline.

Tests of farmed salmon may not bring back conclusive results on their potential role in time for the inquiry to factor them into its findings.

But under crossexamination by a lawyer for the salmon farming industry, Miller confirmed her data showed the highest level of the

mortality marker was in young smolts that had not left the river and had not yet gone anywhere near fish farms, casting doubt on how they could play a major role.

“The main time period of transmission appears to be in fresh water,” she said, adding it’s been detected in young fry in their birth lakes.

Miller said that doesn’t mean the virus didn’t first originate with the fish farms nor does it exclude the potential for farmed fish – or perhaps other species in fresh water – to pass the virus back and forth with wild salmon.

She also confirmed the lethal signature has also been found in sockeye from Haida Gwaii, far from the fish farms, as well as sockeye from rivers on the west side of Vancouver Island, which don’t migrate through Johnstone Strait.

Her group has done little research so far on northern stocks that return to the Skeena or Nass rivers.

Miller did stress the lethal markers were not found in the thriving Harrison Lake sockeye – which spend less time in fresh water and migrate around the west coast of Vancouver Island, not past the Johnstone Strait fish farms.

“Harrison is the one stock on the Fraser River that is increasing in productivity,” she said.

“The fish that spend less time in fresh water tend to be doing better than the fish that spend more.”

The possible spread of disease and the potential role of the aquaculture industry has been the focus of

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE AND OF PROPOSED PROPERTY DISPOSITION TAKE NOTICE THAT pursuant to sections 24 and 26 of the Community Charter, S.B.C. 2003, c. 26 as amended, the City of Surrey (the “City�) hereby gives notice of its intention to provide assistance and of a proposed property disposition under a partnering agreement between the City and the Surrey City Development Corporation (the “Development Corporation�) dated April 30, 2007 (the “Agreement�).

AND THAT the Agreement as approved by Council is part of a strategy to maximize the ďŹ nancial returns through development and provide an annual revenue stream to the City from the City’s wholly owned Development Corporation. The form of assistance is the transfer of lands more particularly described below (the “Landsâ€?) from the City to the Development Corporation, valued at $2,844,000, in exchange for cash. The Lands are more particularly described as follows: 65,756 square foot Portion of Parcel IdentiďŹ er 012-387-002 South Half Lot 5 Section 15 Township 8 New Westminster District Plan 1809 (19407 – 68 Avenue) 23,089 square foot Portion of Parcel IdentiďŹ er 027-133-753 Lot 128 Section 15 Township 8 New Westminster District Plan BCP31093 (19501 – 68 Avenue) Parcel IdentiďŹ er 028-468-899 That Part of Section 15 Township 8 New Westminster District shown on Plan BCP47382 (Former Road Allowance) As shown on the Subdivision Plan extract included as part of this notice, containing 2.37 acres AND THAT the Agreement and any relevant background documentation may be inspected at the City Hall, OfďŹ ce of the City Clerk, 14245 – 56th Avenue, Surrey, BC, Monday through Friday (except statutory holidays) between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Sockeye: Just 1.5 million in 2005 From page 9 Miller’s appearance was widely anticipated due to reports she’d been muzzled by federal officials after the publication of her latest paper in the journal Science.

She told the commission she had been told not to publicly discuss her findings ahead of her testimony – out of respect for the inquiry – but said the same instructions applied to other DFO staff.

Miller said she has always had complete freedom to publish her findings.

“I’ve never been told not to share research.�

Earlier in the week, the inquiry released emails from Miller in late July questioning why DFO wouldn’t test farmed salmon for the parvovirus strain showing up in sockeye and warning colleagues the department better have an answer when the topic came up before the inquiry.

Miller’s email indicated her colleagues felt there was no benefit to testing, and if the industry likely wouldn’t comply if asked to voluntarily submit

fish for testing.

The judicial inquiry led by retired Judge Bruce Cohen was called by the federal government after less than 1.5 million sockeye returned in 2009, far fewer than the more than 10 million expected.

The inquiry has explored myriad potential causes for the decline – from pollution and habitat destruction to overfishing and marine predators – but none has yet emerged as the probable sole cause of the drop in stocks. jnagle@surreyleader.com

Voluntary exclusion: Having postive results, studies show From page 11 “It was not very difficult to enter a casino,” according to one study led by Dr. Irwin Cohen of the B.C. Centre for Social Responsibility at the University of the Fraser Valley.

Most of the excluded gamblers who tried to go back in a casino got through every time, Cohen found, and only a minority ever reported being caught.

Five per cent of those who snuck back into casinos had done so more than 25 times.

A companion study by the Responsible Gaming Council (RGC) Centre for the Advancement of Best Practices looked at the practices at five casinos in Victoria, Kelowna, New Westminster, Vancouver and Richmond.

Voluntary selfexclusion does help, the studies found.

Sixty-five per cent never tried to go back inside a casino and 35 per cent abstained com-

pletely from gambling – even at home.

That beats the general success rate of around 10 per cent for programs like Gamblers Anonymous, the report said.

An estimated 38 per cent of self-excluded gamblers got treatment of some sort.

But both sets of findings say the program lacks teeth and calls for stiffer penalties when banned gamblers are caught coming back.

The only real consequence right now, other than being ejected, is the loss of winnings.

“This is a good step but not sufficient,” the RGC report said.

Cohen’s review suggested publicly shaming chronic violators by posting their photos near casino entrances, as retailers sometimes do with shoplifters.

He also said the BC Lottery Corp. (BCLC) could do more to remind excluded gamblers that any jackpots they win will be confiscated.

Mandatory counselling could also be tried, the study said.

BCLC is also urged to make it easier for gamblers to renew their exclusion, and perhaps to choose a lifetime ban.

Gamblers so far can exclude themselves from six months to three years, but not permanently.

There are hopes an improved facial recognition system now being tested will prove more effective.

also being upgraded so an audible alert sounds when an excluded gambler’s vehicle arrives.

BCLC also says it will circulate shortlists of the most frequent or recent violators to all gambling venues in the region to help staff better detect high-risk patrons.

The program remains voluntary and selfdirected – the corporation said it won’t bar gamblers from casinos at the request of their spouses or family members.

Eighty-three per cent of gamblers in the study listed slot machines as their gambling problem, while 61 per cent said casino card games, 33 per cent listed Internet gambling and 26 per cent said video poker in casinos.

Seventy-three per cent of the studied gamblers said they lied to family about gambling and 34 per cent said they had suicidal thoughts due to gambling.

Eight of the gamblers said they attempted suicide because of gambling, 10 attempted to harm themselves and 11 said they turned to crime.

More than 3,700 gamblers are currently self-excluded.

Public safety minister Shirley Bond said the province wants to ensure self-exclusion is as effective as possible.

“The research has already guided enhancements to our program and we remain committed to further improving what has been shown to be a very effective resource for our patrons,” added BCLC president Michael Graydon.

Several lawsuits underway claim the BCLC was negligent in failing to keep compulsive gamblers enrolled in the program from getting into local casinos and losing hundreds of thousands of dollars.

New civic party in Delta Renew Delta wants change

by Christine Lyon MEMBERS OF a new electoral organization in Delta say they plan to participate “very actively” in preparation for the November municipal election.

As of Aug. 14, Renew Delta officials said they had the support of more 100 Delta residents, but had not announced any candidates for council or mayor.

Lead member Ranj Heer, who owns a personal training business in North Delta, says she has enjoyed living in the community for the last 15 years.

“But it’s time that we see some change,” she said. “Starting and running a business in Delta has become a very difficult thing to do because of all of the red tape involved. We are seeing all kinds of Delta businesses moving to neighbouring cities, and have lost out in some great prospects for bringing jobs and opportunity to Delta.”

Heer, a mother of three, says Delta has been a great place to raise a family, but many new families are moving to other parts of the Lower Mainland with better civic services, opportunities, and affordable housing.

“Delta needs to offer a broader scope of services to keep families in our community, such as special school programs and opportunities for youth,” she said.

Other goals of Renew Delta include improving and increasing community arts,

sports and recreation activities, ensuring their accessibility to all Delta residents, and encouraging local business growth and sustainability to promote community employment.

Scott Hargrove went to get his driver’s licence, he had already driven faster than most people ever will.

In fact, Hargrove had motored along some of the most famous roads on the continent.

By the time he obtained his B.C. driver’s licence, Hargrove’s

driving resume featured time behind the wheel as a kart racer at the Virginia International Speedway and Laguna Seca Mazda Raceway in California.

When it comes to kart racing, participants need to be at least 14 years old and attend a racing school to learn some racing basics.

That’s what Hargrove did, and the Surrey

Christian Secondary Grade 12 student has his eyes set on the big show.

In December 2010, after racing for three years in the local karting curcuit, Hargrove had an opportunity to test his mettle against some of the best young drivers in North America at the Skip Barber Karting Scholarship shootout in Leguna Seca California, where drivers compete TELUS AUTHORIZED DEALERS LOWER MAINLAND Surrey Central City Grandview Corners Guildford Town Centre 13734 104th Ave. 12477 88th Ave. 7380 King George Hwy. 15940 Fraser Hwy.

for seven scholarships in two levels of competition, the national series and the regional series.

Though the competition was extremely tight, Hargrove was awarded one of four regional scholarships to the Skip Barber Racing School summer series, where he’ll be behind the wheel of a 150-horsepower Skip Barber Formula racing car.

Hargrove credits much of his success so far to his coach, local professional driver Michael Valiante, who is himself climbing the racing ladder. “He has taught me a lot, says Hargrove. “He wants me to focus on hitting the corners as fast as I can.�

He is also learning the importance of patience during a race and that too much aggression early on can be costly. “Focus and mental fatigue can be such a huge factor in racing,�

Hargrove says.

He hopes to take his current success and keep moving forward towards one day fulfilling his dream of becoming a professional race car driver.

However, when it comes to the often expensive sport of car racing, results are the goal, and success on the track means sponsorship funding - a key factor for every driver. The more wins, the more sponsorship money drivers attract.

Having grown up hearing stories about local racing star Greg Moore’s rise to the top of the racing world, Hargrove is well aware of the dangers of the sport. “Every racer knows the dangers,� Hargrove says, but “I am so focussed on what is going on during the race it doesn’t even cross my mind.�

Since the death of Moore many advancements in racing safety have been made, including the “Hans� device that restricts the forward movement of the driver’s head in a crash. “I have seen many accidents and everyone has walked away,� says Hargrove.

Although the road may be long and at times seem far away, Hargrove has a single goal: to one day reach the pinnacle of racing – Formula 1.

Residents now pay fees to support recycling

by Jeff Nagel MORE THAN 47,000 mattresses or box springs have been recycled this year since January, when Metro Vancouver banned them from being dumped in the garbage.

That’s equivalent to a stack taller than Mount Everest – or a pile that could fill B.C. Place – that might otherwise end up in the landfill.

Residents now pay a $20 recycling fee if they bring a mattress or box spring to a Metro waste transfer station but they usually pay less by going directly to a mattress recycler or by having an old mattress recycled when they buy a new one from a local retailer.

Three mattress recycling companies now employ more than 45 people, tearing old beds apart to recover metal, wood, cotton and foam to be processed and reused.

A Metro spokesman said it’s not yet clear whether the new fee to get rid of mattresses has led more people to dump them illegally.

Surrey did initially experience significantly more illegal dumping of

mattresses after the change, according to Gerry McKinnon, the city’s manager of operations.

The city responded with an advertising drive to ensure resi-

dents know they can arrange free mattress pickup through the Surrey’s large item pickup program.

The city sends the mattresses collected to recyclers in bulk

batches and absorbs a modest recycling fee.

Local mattress retailers can be found by visiting www.

MetroVancouverRecycles.org.

Another Liberal MLA leaves Iain Black taking new job as CEO of Vancouver Board of Trade

by Tom Fletcher PORT MOODY-Coquitlam MLA Iain Black is resigning his seat to take a new job as CEO of the Vancouver Board of Trade.

Premier Christy Clark said she is “delighted and saddened� to see the man

who succeeded her as Port Moody-area MLA in 2005 leave politics.

After serving in several ministries in former premier Gordon Campbell’s cabinet, Black was dropped from a slimmed-down cabinet lineup by Clark this spring and

named parliamentary secretary for pubic transportation.

At a news conference in Vancouver Wednesday, Clark and Black both rejected suggestions that pressure from the premier’s office to prepare for the next election had anything to

bulbs will produce five to seven flowers; midsized bulbs will have about a dozen blooms.

I have learned the hard way that these bulbs love a sunny, welldrained, yet moist location, with average soil.

One year we planted them in several shady spots, only to have them gradually deteriorate to the point of no return. You can leave them in the ground to naturalize, if that is the effect you wish to have. A single corm of a large colchicum hybrid can easily multiply to cover nearly 900 square centimetres of garden.

Just imagine what a few well-placed groupings throughout your garden can do. It is best to plant them about 10 cm deep and about 15 to 20 cm apart. They need some room, not only to multiply, but also for the huge foliage which will develop the following spring.

These fascinating bulbs can actually bloom indoors simply by leaving them sitting on a windowsill. It’s best to put them in a saucer on about two inches of gravel. The flowers won’t last quite as long, nor will they have the same intense colour, but they will bloom and can still be planted outside to grow on for next year. Each year in late April, just as

the tulips are nicely in flower, huge masses of strap-like leaves appear and grow to about one foot in height. After two to three weeks, they disappear as suddenly as they arrived, having provided all the food the bulb needs.

Colchicums are quite hardy and do well from zones one through nine.

Colchicum speciosus, which blooms in September and October, is most often a bright violetpink, while Colchicum album is the seldomseen Brian beautiful white variety.

Among the hybrids, Lilac Wonder is the most popular with its attractive lilac-pink flowers. The double purple blooms of Waterlily are unusual and quite beautiful, but its heavy blossoms are often knocked down and spoiled by autumn rains.

Colchicums should be planted in areas where they can be naturalized without interfering with other plants.

Colchicum bulbs become huge and can, over time, produce 19 to 25 flowers, one right after the other, until they all open in a profusion of colour.

hydrangeas, makes a lovely contrast when the bulbs bloom each fall.

Another classic combination is to plant them under white snowberries (Symphoricarpos alba) for a great autumn display. Colchicums are only dormant in July and August, so you have to be quick on the draw to get them planted immediately for any kind of showing this fall, but they are well worth the effort, believe me. The main bulb supplier for BC has just received their shipment for distribution to garden this Minter stores week, so for this weekend and next week, colchicums should be widely available.

I know there are many gardens out there that really need a lift in September, and these precious fall crocuses can add that little spark of colour. Think of them as fall messengers reminding us that in spring our gardens will be inundated with colour from their peers.
