Legalize and tax pot, health officers urge
Marijuana is not safe, but violence poses ‘more danger,’ group says by Jeff Nagel A GROUP OF B.C. public health officers has joined a growing coalition of policy leaders urging the legalization and taxation of marijuana. The Health Officers Council of B.C. voted to endorse Stop the Violence B.C. and called for regulation of illegal substances like marijuana to reduce the harm from substance use and the unintended consequences of government policies.

Surrey MLA hits the streets for welfare challenge Jagrup Brar begins initiative by sleeping at a homeless shelter by Kevin Diakiw WITH 50 cents in his pocket, money
PETER HAMILTON / LIFEFORCE
The cow now known as Lady Antebellum, seen here with Lifeforce member Peter Hamilton, had been living in a forested area of northeast Surrey since March, 2011. She was recently captured and shipped to an Okanagan animal sanctuary.

given to him by his children, a Surrey MLA hit the streets on Sunday hoping to make it through January living on the provincial monthly welfare rate of $610. Jagrup Brar, MLA for SurreyFleetwood, was challenged by a group called Raise the Rates on May 25 to try living on $610 for the month of January, the same amount social services provides to people who are expected to look for work. Brar accepted, and began the challenge on Sunday, Jan. 1. Because Sunday and Monday were holidays, he would have been unable to collect a welfare cheque as government offices were closed. So he hit the streets with 50 cents in his pocket – money his children gave him for a phone call if he got into trouble. On Sunday night, Jagrup Brar he tried to get shelter at the Front Room drop-in centre in Whalley, but it was full. He ended up sleeping on a mat at Surrey Urban Mission. Brar said in a release that he understands the limitations of his exercise. “I know clearly that I will not fully experience what ‘being on welfare’ is like when I live on $610 for the month of January,” Brar said. “I haven’t lost a job or a family or become disabled or sick, all reasons why many people are on welfare...” Brar will be able to return home one night a week.
Pot: Market driven by criminal activity From page 1 “The Health Officer’s Council and other experts are not saying that marijuana should be legalized and taxed because it is safe,” said Dr. Paul Hasselback, a Vancouver Island medical health officer who chairs the council. “We are saying that proven public health approaches should be used to constrain its use. There is now more danger to the public’s health in perpetuating a market driven by criminal activity.” The coalition argues prohibition has failed and enforcement has little impact on drug use, merely fuelling the $7-billion illegal pot industry that experts say is directly linked to the spike in gang-related killings since 1997.
A report released by Stop the Violence says teens find it easy to buy marijuana and pot use among them is up considerably since the 1990s, despite heavy spending on drug enforcement. “By every metric, this policy is failing to meet its objectives,” said Dr. Evan Wood, a Vancouver doctor and founder of the coalition. By regulating the market, he said, the distribution and use of marijuana would be more controlled and would also eliminate organized crime from the equation. It would also provide a source of tax revenue in the hundreds of millions, he added. B.C. provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall said he generally agrees with the public
health officers’ statement on marijuana reform although he was not formally part of their endorsement. “I support their call for a review of the effectiveness of current prohibition and criminalization and discussion of a more effective public health-based approach,” Kendall said. Cannabis arrests in Canada climbed from 39,000 in 1990 to more than 65,000 in 2009, according to the coalition. An estimated 27 per cent of young B.C. residents aged 15-24 used pot at least once in 2008, according to one poll. Four former Vancouver mayors have also backed the coalition. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Notice For Sanitary Sewer Smoke Testing Program The City of Surrey will be conducting smoke testing of the sanitary sewer system from January to the end of March 2012 in the designated areas shown on the map.
Friends remember Surrey murder victim Apollo-Lyn Simpson was gunned down outside his home by Kevin Diakiw AN OUTPOURING of grief is taking place online for Surrey’s latest murder victim, a man being remembered for his ability to make friends and good memories. On Tuesday (Dec. 27) at about 7:30 a.m., ApolloLyn Simpson was gunned down in front of the home he rented in the 9500-block of 125 Street. Neighbours reported hearing about four loud bangs in rapid succession and thought it was a nail gun. About an hour later, Simpson’s body was discovered at the front of the house. The following day, a Facebook site was started as a tribute called RIP Apollo Lynn Simpson. As of Monday morning, it had more than 100 members. “I just wanna say that apollo was one of the most amazing strong intelligent men iv ever been family with,” wrote Kale Alexander Alfred Welsh. “May you rest in peace my big brother love yah man never forget you.” Skoty Smythe wrote “we used to work on the same trucks for years and burn like a Mofo , never had nothing but love for me mad respect !! Love you for it see again one day my friend.” Some commented on the number of killings of late, and noted their senselessness.
Friends of 28-year-old Apollo-Lyn Simpson have set up a Facebook tribute site. “To many people getting murdered. Why? Does it make anything better or easier? R.I.P old friend...,” wrote Sean Ewan. A candlelight vigil was held Friday at Holland Park, with many who couldn’t make it lighting candles in his memory at home.

The testing involves introducing a non-toxic smoke into the sewer system to identify potential leaks or cross connections to the system. By introducing a non-toxic smoke into the sewers, we can identify areas where rainwater can enter the sanitary sewer system. By eliminating these sources of unnecessary inflow we can help our environment while reducing the cost of sewage treatment and the need for system upgrading. Smoke may be visible at roof vents or seeping from other points of entry to the sewer system in this project area. The smoke will dissipate quickly following the testing procedures. This smoke testing program is part of the City’s objective to alleviate Inflow & Infiltration into the sanitary sewer system to meet Metro-Vancouver’s initiative. To find out more information on this program, please visit the City of Surrey’s website at http://www.surrey.ca/city-government/4692.aspx.

A 54-YEAR-OLD Surrey man is dead after a fatal collision on the Alex Fraser Bridge Thursday (Dec. 29) night. Police said a semi-trailer truck ran into a stalled five-tonne truck that was towing a pick-up truck mid-span on the bridge just after 11 p.m. The tow truck had arrived to assist with the stall and the victim was out of his vehicle directing traffic. A witness said the driver of the stalled truck was apparently pinned between his two vehicles. The man died at Royal Columbian Hospital. Another man was killed in a crash earlier Thursday morning. Police believe a van was heading west on 76 Avenue near 128 Street, when it struck another car, sending it across the intersection and into a lamp standard. The man in the car, believed to be in his early 20s, was taken to hospital, but succumbed to his injuries. He has not been named.

Documents reveal more about transit ticket heist by Jeff Nagel THE THEFT in June 2010 of
$153,000 worth of prepaid transit tickets before they were to be shredded might have been avoided if TransLink paid an extra $10,000 for more secure shredding. Two former employees of Urban Impact Recycling were charged in October with theft and fraud after a large number of FareSaver tickets went missing from Urban’s Richmond warehouse and then began surfacing on the black market. The FareSavers were to be destroyed because TransLink raised fare prices in April 2010 and new prepaid tickets were being rolled out at the higher prices. A Freedom of Information request shows TransLink considered the more secure option of having a contractor come and perform the shredding work on TransLink property – at an estimated cost of $17,000 for 30 skids of FareSavers. But supervisor Yvonne Scott decided to instead send the skids to Urban for off-site shredding at the cheaper price of $7,124.
A book of 10 FareSaver tickets from TransLink. “Please send off-site,” she told another staffer in an email. “We don’t have $17k in the budget for this. I assume you use this company regularly (and) are comfortable with the security processes they have in place?” Scott was assured TransLink regularly sent secure documents to the off-site contractor for shredding. Later in 2010, transit security and police began finding people illegally selling FareSaver booklets for about $19 at Broadway Station, in Chinatown and out of the trunks of cars – all with the old prices and serial numbers that matched the tickets that should have been shredded. Transit Police alleged 80,000
tickets worth $153,000 were stolen by Patrick Robert Parry of Surrey and James Gordon Hemenway of Vancouver, who both make court appearances in January. TransLink has refused to disclose exactly how many FareSaver tickets went missing and all references to the total or their value were redacted from the released records. But the documents suggest the heist – if it was limited to $153,000 – could have been much worse for TransLink. Each pallet sent to Urban contained 36,000 FareSaver booklets (of 10 tickets each), TransLink records show. Since each booklet was worth at least $20 and 30 pallets were sent off-site, the total value of the tickets sent for shredding exceeded $20 million. The documents also show new procedures took effect in 2011 requiring TransLink use on-site shredders and have its staff present to verify that tickets or passes are properly destroyed. When on-site shredders aren’t available, the work can be sent off-site but must be supervised by both a TransLink employee and a Transit Police officer.

EDUCATION
RAESIDE
Attention teachers: Bargaining can work
W
hile all the sound and fury over education bargaining in the past four months has come from the B.C. Teachers Federation and BC Public School Employers’ Association, some real and substantive bargaining has been taking place. Unfortunately, it doesn’t involve the teachers. The BCPSEA has quietly concluded an agreement in principle with representatives of the Canadian Union of Public Employees and other unions representing support staff in the K-12 public education system. The agreement was announced on Dec. 22. The agreement is not a final contract, but rather an overarching framework which will apply if school districts can come to an agreement with their local unions by Feb. 29. The agreement in principle calls for no wage increases from 2010 to 2012, but does have a wage reopener clause. It does include some additional money, notably $7.5 million annually for preparation time for educational assistants. CUPE has not been beating the political drums against the provincial government over education funding, as has the BCTF. Rather, it has worked with the employers’ representative to come up with a realistic contract that calls for no concessions. At the same time, it recognizes that the taxpayers’ ability to pay more has all but run out. Nor has it brought in moves designed to apply pressure, such as refusing to do report cards or formally meet with parents to discuss student progress, as the BCTF has. The BCTF has legitimate issues about class size and composition, and how to resolve a lawsuit it won over past changes to its contract. It is unfortunate that BCTF negotiators have spent so much time posturing in public and relatively little time actually negotiating. – Black Press

Having delivered a throne speech and a raft of legislation last fall, the government must pick up where it left off and build a February budget from the wreckage of the harmonized sales tax.

instead of reducing income taxes, as legislation currently requires, and both parties must face the fact that this entails a tax increase. A storm is about to begin up north as federal environmental hearings open on a proposed oil pipeline to Kitimat. Clark remains carefully non-committal, the NDP bitterly opposed. But the parties actually agree on liquefied natural gas exports from the same port. The NDP signaled cautious support for the plan before Christmas, with greater scrutiny of drilling and water use. We in the media do a poor job of reporting when parties agree. Debate will soon resume on B.C.’s new Family Law Act, aimed at avoiding courts and conflict, with bipartisan support. Fixing B.C.’s impaired driving legislation, to keep that out of our clogged courts, should also be expedited. B.C.’s traditional blame game won’t make the problems of 2012 go away.

Thanks for the Christmas magic EVERYONE AT the Surrey Christmas Bureau wishes to thank our city’s generous residents and businesses who freely donated funds and toys and volunteered their time and services. It is wonderful to know people can still count on one another to share their abundance and good wishes. The City of Surrey contributed our excellent toy depot site, which was very appreciated. Nearly 2,000 local families were either directly assisted or referred to other services. This translates into over 4,500 children whose Christmas morning was made happier by our community’s generosity. As we pack up and organize for 2012, we gratefully reflect on the special donors and volunteers who made Christmas magic happen in our city.

Winter songs aren’t just for Christmas WHY DO RADIO stations suddenly stop playing songs about winter after Christmas day? Such tunes as: “Sleigh Ride,” “Jingle Bells,” “Jingle Bell Rock,” “Let It Snow,” “Winter Wonderland,” “Frosty The Snowman,” “Baby, it’s Cold Outside,” “Marshmallow World,” and “There’s No Place Like Home For The Holidays” are all songs about winter, not Christmas. Winter, which supposedly began Dec. 21, did not end on the 25th of December. It is just as much winter after Christmas Day as it is before.

Anti-smart meter campaign Renewable energy is uninformed foolishness expansion = job
THE CAMPAIGN against
smart meters is full of technical rubbish and halftruths. This is fomented by unions who will do anything to retain expensive useless meter readers and preys on the gullible. Hydro does have problems, but every unbiased, informed observer has found the meter program makes sense. The first argument tried was to claim they are unsafe and irradiate people, which is provable scientific nonsense. Look up “inverse square law” which says, roughly translated, that if you compare a hand-held cellphone about a centimetre from your brain, to the radiation only a metre away, it delivers one ten-thousandth of the radiation. Smart meters will make a few very short cellphone calls a day.
Why do people pontificate on technical subjects they do not understand? I have no doubt they quote pseudo-scientific studies proving their thesis, just as do people who promote various snake oil cures. There are in contrast, however, several properly run scientific studies on possible links between cellphones and various ailments. Not one has shown a definitive link. Claiming we should stop the smart meter program, while doing nothing about cellphone is asinine. Some people even believe these meters allow BC Hydro to access private information such as online banking. There are no words to describe such uninformed foolishness. The existing base of meters is aging, mechanical, out-of-date, unreliable
rubbish of very suspect accuracy, which need meter readers at huge annual cost. Currently, in the event of a power outage, BC Hydro has to wait for calls from users, which only inform about one location. Affected Smart meters by contrast instantly send out a short notification. Even opponents should be able to see this allows much quicker location and repair. So what would opponents suggest? Should BC Hydro keep trying to repair the current worn-out meters? Should they alternately replace them with similar, oldfashioned, labour intensive, unreliable, mechanical meters? The idiocy of this in some ways proves, as Winston Churchill observed, that democracy is badly flawed.

CLIMATE CHANGE expert Mark Jac-
card from Simon Fraser University says B.C. is on its way to blowing its emission reduction targets. This concerns me on a number of levels, not the least of which is the fact B.C. has, up until now, been a world leader on environmental issues with the toughest greenhouse gas emission reduction targets in North America. According to Jaccard, the only way for B.C. to meet its emission reduction targets is through a major move to renewable energy such as hydroelectricity, wind, solar, or run-of-river. Fortunately, renewable energy is available in great abundance within B.C.’s borders and we merely need to develop it and put it into service for the province to maintain its environmental leadership. In terms of job creation, I can’t think of anything that would produce more jobs throughout B.C. than a plan
to massively expand the province’s renewable energy infrastructure on a scale similar to that of the massive hydro energy development projects that took place in B.C. during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jobs and the environment don’t need to cancel each other out. B.C. can successfully lead on both. Yolanda Lora Vilchis Surrey

An RCMP officer speaks to a driver during a roadside check. The courts have granted a temporary reprieve so that police may still issue 90-day suspensions to impaired drivers.
DAVE S. HAYER MLA SURREY-TYNEHEAD
BOAZ JOSEPH THE LEADER
Court restores full roadside penalties for drunk drivers Province now has six months to comply with law by Jeff Nagel
police had previously been imposing a 90-day driving ban, a $500 fine and impounding the vehicle for 30 days. That suspension can cost a driver $3,750, including $700 for towing and storage and $1,420 to take a mandatory “responsible driver” course. To comply with the court rulings, the province must ensure those drivers get a chance to challenge the decision. “We will work to introduce changes to the Motor Vehicle Act as soon as possible in the spring legislative session,” Solicitor General Shirley Bond said in a statement Friday. “We continue to analyze Justice Sigurdson’s comprehensive decision to determine what those changes will consist of.” Justice Sigurdson also found 90-day suspensions are constitutional for drivers who refuse to provide a breath sample upon request. He also upheld the use of the immediate roadside prohibitions for drivers who blow in the “warn” range between 0.05 and 0.08. Bond noted the roadside penalties resulted in a 40 per cent drop in alcohol-related deaths in the first year. “The statistics speak for themselves,” she said. “Forty-five more people are alive to enjoy the holidays this year because police stopped impaired drivers, people who would not be with their families today without this legislation. “We are not going to give up our fight to remove impaired drivers from B.C.’s roads, and we will continue to use every responsible tool at our disposal to combat drinking and driving,” Bond said. “We want the public to know police will be out in full force over Christmas as part of their CounterAttack program to protect the public from people who are drinking and driving.” Sigurdson has yet to rule on whether B.C. drivers who were punished without sufficient right to appeal are entitled to compensation.
THE COURTS HAVE temporarily restored the power of police officers to issue stiff 90-day suspensions to impaired drivers caught with a blood-alcohol level over 0.08. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Jon Sigurdson, who previously struck down that part of the roadside penalty system, issued a follow-up ruling Dec. 23 that suspends the implementation of his decision until June 30. That effectively gives the provincial government six months to pass new legislation to ensure the roadside penalties and process to appeal them comply with the law. Justice Sigurdson noted the government considers the automatic roadside penalties more effective than criminal prosecutions in fighting impaired driving. “I have concluded that an immediate declaration of invalidity of part of the (administrative penalty) regime may pose a danger to the public,” he found. Sigurdson’s original Nov. 30 ruling fanned fears that police powers to battle impaired drivers would be seriously eroded just as the holiday CounterAttack campaign was getting underway. For three weeks since the Nov. 30 judgment, police had been unable to issue the 90-day suspensions and related penalties and fees that add up to $3,750 for drivers who blow in the “fail” range over 0.08. Instead, officers at roadblocks faced a choice: arrest the driver and proceed with a time-consuming criminal impaired investigation or else issue only a 24-hour suspension. A roadblock that caught two impaired drivers would lose its investigating officers to the criminal procedure and might have to halt enforcement early that night as a result. For roadside readings of 0.08 per cent or higher,

‘Wrappin’ family’ survives visit to dragon den Surrey entrepreneurs find inspiration after TV rejection Black Press A CLOVERDALE family
has ventured to the dragon’s den and escaped – albeit not completely unscathed. CBC’s entrepreneurbased reality show Dragons’ Den left the Elash family slightly burned after debuting their product, dressed in Santa garb, on Dec. 14. Although they did not persuade the panel to give them the $25,000 for their invention – the All-In-One Gift Wrapper, which comes with all the tools needed to wrap a present in a cylinder-shaped package – Sandee, the family matriarch said there is no reason to give up. In fact, the only thing she finds regretful about the journey to marketing their product is that she didn’t focus on the community support the family had been receiving for years. “Everything we needed was right here in our backyard,” Sandee said. “We’ve received such an outpouring of support, it’s amazing.” The gift-wrapper is the second invention produced by the selfproclaimed “wrappin’ family.” Seven years ago, after seeing his wife struggle with plastic wrap, Hank created Wraptor Teeth, a plastic device that sits on the side of a drawer, with jagged teeth for cutting food wrap. “One day he just went out in the shed, came back later and popped it in and told me to try it,” Sandee said. “We always had companies ask us about it, but we never really thought anything of it.” The decision to market the item came from their daughter, Amanda.

been dissuaded from venturing on with their second. “I know people will want this, and if we can just get it on track, I know that it will be purchased,” he said. Just hours after their less-than-ideal debut on Dragons’ Den, Sandee said she received emails, messages and comments about the product, with people asking where they could get it. “Even though we’re losers on the show, we’re feeling very inspired right now. I think something good is going to happen,” she said.

Notice of Intention Downtown Surrey - Business Improvement Area (BIA) TAKE NOTICE THAT: The Council of the City of Surrey proposes to renew for a further five-year period, a Business Improvement Area (BIA) for the Downtown Surrey area which is to include an expanded boundary. The purpose of the BIA is to assist local property owners to upgrade and promote a local business district to improve its economic viability. The Business Promotion Scheme proposed to be undertaken includes joint marketing, physical improvements and beautification. It will be designed to benefit the original designated area shown as the area in grey, and the proposed expanded area is shown outlined on the map below.
The BIA is to be funded by a levy on Commercial and Industrial properties prescribed as Class 5 (Light Industry) or Class 6 (Business or other). The estimated total cost of the work is $4,415,652 over the following five years: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. The property owners will pay 100% of the cost. The estimated charge of $1.15289 per $1,000 of assessed value, will be included on your 2013 tax statement and must be paid in full by the tax due date. FURTHER, TAKE NOTICE THAT pursuant to Section 213 of the Community Charter, S.B.E. 2003, c.26, as amended, the Business Improvement Area may proceed unless Council receives sufficient petition against the service within 30 days after the second date of this publication in the Surrey Leader and Peace Arch newspapers. A sufficient petition must: 1. be signed by the owners of at least 50% of the parcels that would be subject to the local service tax, and 2. the persons signing must be the owners of parcels that in total represent at least 50% of the assessed value of land and improvements that would be subject to the local service tax. Persons desiring to petition against the undertaking of the work must do so by lodging their petition, in writing, within 30 days of the second date of publication of the “Notice of Intention” in the Surrey Leader and Peace Arch newspapers dated January 3 and January 17, 2012.

10-Year Servicing Plan and Development Cost Charges The City is preparing to introduce a new 10-Year Servicing Plan. This Plan establishes the City’s capital expenditure plan for the construction of engineering infrastructure to service existing neighbourhoods and to support new growth across the City. It also forms the basis for establishing the City’s Development Cost Charge rates (DCCs). Since the last 10-year servicing plan update in 2010, a number of signiďŹ cant planning and engineering studies have been completed to identify future infrastructure needs across the City. Many of the infrastructure elements identiďŹ ed in these studies have been incorporated into the proposed 10-Year (2012-2021) Servicing Plan. As part of the new plan, the City has undertaken a review of its DCCs, and found that a slight adjustment of no more than 2.9% is required. Information on the proposed 10-Year (2012-2021) Servicing Plan and DCC rates is available at www.surrey.ca/DCCs or by contacting Jeff Arason – Manager, Utilities at (604)591-4314. www.recreation.surrey.ca

Several current student-athletes spoke of their experiences at the university. The afternoon session was at Newton Athletic Park, where Eagles head coach Ajit Braich and his staff conducted a practice following by a scrimmage. “This created a great opportunity us to work with local area clubs and schools in the recruitment process,” said Braich. “The standard and talent of the athletes’ skills during the on-field session was very pleasing to the entire Eagles coaching staff.” The Eagles finished last season in second place in Group A of the Pac West league standings with a 4-3-5 (wonlost-tied) record. They were eliminated from the playoffs in the quarterfinal round.

Cup in New Zealand. At first, his facial hair â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he had a Viking-esque beard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; drew plenty of attention. Throughout the World Cup, which ended Oct. 23, Kleeberger and his beard was the subject of numerous stories in the local, national and international media. His hirsute appearance even spawned a popular Twitter hashtag â&#x20AC;&#x201C; #kleebergersbeard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as fans began to take a liking to the Semiahmoo Secondary grad. Upon his return to Canada, his beard was shaved off by comedian and TV host Rick Mercer as part of a segment of the CBC show, The Rick Mercer Report.

He is an international player who has performed to a high level on the biggest stage of them all, and he will add a greater physical edge to our play,â&#x20AC;? said Scottish head coach Simon Amor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was an iconic player in New Zealand, and his rugby reputation speaks for itself. I am delighted to welcome him to London Scottish, and look forward to seeing what he can do.â&#x20AC;?

Average Awards of $200,000 - ICBC settling more By Greg Smith In 2011 Judges awarded on average $200,000 for neck or back injuries caused by car accidents, based on reported decisions. This compares with $161,000 in 2010. ICBC appears to be settling claims. Roughly 50% less car accident victims went to trial in 2011 for neck and back injuries, based on reported decisions. Trials form the tip of the iceberg for ICBC cases, with a large majority of victims settling. In 2011 only 47 claims went to trial, about half the 88 claims from 2010 that ended in a reported judgment. On balance the claims that went to trial involved more serious injuries. The average award for lost income increased from $20,000 to $36,000: up 80%. Awards for future income losses also increased from $90,000 to $114,000. With more severe injuries usually the award for pain and suffering also increases. But this did not happen. Judges awarded on average $55,000 for pain and suffering in 2011, the same as in 2010. The difference in the awards from 2010 to 2011 is virtually eliminated if one Judgement is ignored. In February 2011 a BC Supreme Court Judge awarded more than 2 million to a self-employed man with losses from his three businesses. With this case removed the average award for the two years is the same.

Where birdwatchers migrate Delta Naturalists welcome expert speakers to their monthly meetings by Boaz Joseph
D
elta Naturalists recently learned how the discovery of one bird’s nest, hidden two-thirds of the way up a 120-foot yellow cedar tree, helped turn a forest threatened with imminent logging into a provincial park. Environmentalist and author Paul Jones was the man responsible. In 1991, he set out on an expedition to the Caren Range, an area of thick, ancient forest on the Sunshine Coast, looking for evidence of nesting sites of the marbled murrelet. Jones and his small team became familiar with the threatened auklike bird’s high-pitched call, and certainly saw a few flying around or fishing, but it would take two years of before
Tom Bearss they found the first active nest in Canada. Speaking to a group of Delta Naturalists Society (DNS) bird enthusiasts at a recent monthly meeting, he described Aug. 7, 1993 as “quite a morning” – and in terms of saving the untouched wilderness from loggers, the 11th hour. The finding was so important, he felt it necessary to keep the
location a secret from authorities while his team documented the growth of the lone chick in the nest. Over the next several years, Jones took notes, sketched and photographed the nest’s activity. He learned that the single egg was incubated for exactly one month; that the chick was fed up to eight times a day, with both parents sharing feeding duties; and that the marbled murrelet had a symbiotic relationship with the Bonaparte gull – gulls spotted schools of fish in the water while diving murrelets pushed them to the surface, where both bird species feasted. The discovery of a second nest in 1997, plus the observation that both nests sat in trees about 1,500 years

Paul Jones shows a crowd of 30 Delta Naturalists the spot where he found the nest of a family of marbled murrelets in the Caren Range on the Sunshine Coast. The discovery of the threatened auk-like bird’s nest in 1993 – the first to be found in Canada – put a stop to proposed logging, and helped to create Spipiyus Provincial Park. Below: A sketch of marbled murrelets by Paul Jones. old, was enough to have the provincial government reserve 2,979 hectares of forest as Spipiyus Provincial Park on June 29, 1999. Jones’ narrative, if esoteric for the general population, fit like a glove for his audience at Cammidge House in Boundary Bay Regional Park. Society president Tom Bearss, a former diplomat, calls the heritage building a Mecca for birders. “We’ve got 80 some-
odd members now.” Each month, the group has guest speakers who cover a variety of topics on birds, travels or environmental issues – usually illustrated. Every week, Bearss also leads the Delta Nats Casual Birders, a sub-species of DNS, on bird watching hikes in the area. Outings regularly include places such as Boundary Bay Regional Park, Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary, Roberts

Island Regional Park. The Society, composed of a mix of birdwatchers, photographers and environmentalists, formed in the mid1980s. Its activities include displays at community events, nest box construction and stewardship and nature consultation on community issues – the group was active in convincing The Corporation of Delta to ban cosmetic use of pesticides two years ago. The Delta Naturalists Society meets on the second Monday of each month (except July and August) at 7:30 p.m. at Cammidge House in Boundary Bay Regional Park. Membership fees are $30 per person and $40 per family. Delta Nats Casual Birding goes for walks once a week (Mondays or Wednesdays.)
