School district sues city over roof collapse

The number of residential ﬁres is on the decline in Surrey, thanks in part to a prevention program created by the Surrey Fire Department.

Number of fires cut in half Education program pays off as residential blazes in Surrey on the decline by Kevin Diakiw THE INCIDENCE of house fires in high-risk Surrey neighbourhoods has dropped in half – thanks in part to an educational program that hit the streets over the last two years. In 2008, Surrey firefighters went door-todoor with fire prevention information in areas of the city that historically had the most blazes – part of a program called HomeSafe. Data shows the program is paying off. “It was estimated that 26 fires would have occurred in the target neighbourhoods over the two-year intervention period,” Surrey Fire

Chief Len Garis wrote in a report to council. “In fact, only 13 fires occurred in those neighbourhoods... Over the same period, the remainder of Surrey experienced a decrease in residential fires of 26.6 per cent.” In addition to the drop in fires, the data shows homes that did burn weren’t as damaged as the ones that went up in flames two years ago. The report indicates that: • Smoke alarms were activated more frequently; • Fires were confined to the object of origin more often;

• The average cost of damage was less, despite a growth in property values; In addition, the Office of the Fire Commissioner released figures spanning from 2007 to 2009, revealing that Surrey experienced a 6.8-per-cent drop in fires, while other B.C. municipalities had an average 14.7-per-cent increase. Along with HomeSafe, Garis attributes the improvement to several programs underway in Surrey, including: • The Electrical Fire Safety Program (the anti-pot grow-op initiative);

has filed a civil suit alleging the City of Surrey “failed to exercise reasonable care” in inspecting the roof overhang of an addition at Colebrook Elementary – one that collapsed last summer. The statement of claim, filed last week in B.C. Supreme Court, also names G.R. Graham Architect, WSDK Consulting Ltd. (formerly known as Pomeroy Engineering Ltd.), Tritan Construction Ltd. and several other contractors. The lawsuit stems from an incident in July 2010 when a portion of roof at the school measuring about 75-feet long crashed to a walkway below. Fortunately, school was out for summer break and no one was hurt. A parent at the time said during the school year, children routinely lined up underneath the overhang before class, and kindergarten teacher Suzanne Dennis said if she or her students had been there “it would have been horrendous.” The statement of claim says “during the investigation into the cause of the collapse, it was See DISTRICT / Page 5

Ex-Rams coach suspended for blocking doping tests Resigned from football club last season by Nick Greenizan FORMER BIG Kahuna Rams head

coach Chris Butschler has been banned from football for two years by the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) for refusing to allow anti-doping personnel access to his players during an unannounced, in-season visit. In a release Monday, the CCES said Butschler failed to co-operate with the CCESS, thereby undermining a CCESS sample collection session. Butschler waived his right to a hearing, admitted to the violation and accepted his two-year suspension from the sport, the release said. “It is completely unacceptable to tamper with any part of the doping control process and represents a very serious breach of our Chris anti-doping Butschler rules,” said Paul Melia, president and CEO of the CCES. “Coaches have a responsibility to play an active role in keeping sport clean and fair for all competitors.” Butschler resigned from his coaching post at the end of last season after 12 years with the club, which last fall announced it was moving from South Surrey to Langley. He joined the team in 1999 and, after a brief hiatus, rejoined the team as its head coach midway through the 2006 season. Neither Butschler nor Big Kahuna Rams president Gord Querin were available for comment by The Leader’s press deadline.

her murder four years ago. Baljinder Singh Bahia, 41, and two others – Tanpreet Kaur Athwal, 42, of Surrey and Burnaby’s Eduard Viktorovitch Baranec, 33 – have been charged in the slaying of Amanpreet Bahia in her Newton home. Her body was discovered about 11:20 a.m. on Feb. 7, 2007 when family members returned to the house from an outing. Two of her three children were home when the slaying occurred. Police described the death as a “brutal, violent attack.” At the time, investigators said Bahia’s husband and other fam-

Surrey watching challenge of grow-op bylaw Fire chief warns Mission of return of problem if teams are shut down by Kevin Diakiw SURREY IS watching closely as the District of

Len Garis

Mission faces a class action lawsuit against the city for its grow-op fighting program. The Electrical Fire Safety Initiative (EFSI) was started in Surrey about five years ago and has been initiated in other municipalities including Mission, where it’s called the Public Safety Inspection Team (PSIT). Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis is the architect of the program and said he’s intrigued to see what will happen now that a group in Mission successfully convinced council to put the program on hold Monday night. “I’ll be watching it with great interest,”

Garis said. This city has been able to reduce the number of marijuana grow operations by 81 per cent during the time the EFSI has been in place. Many of those, he notes, may well have set up in Mission. Under the program, BC Hydro provides firefighters with the addresses of homes with extraordinary power usage, a signature of a marijuana grow operation. A firefighter visits the home and attempts to schedule an inspection within 48 hours. If that fails, a notice is posted on the door and registered mail is sent to the homeowner requesting an inspection. If neither work, the team returns with an administrative warrant, and an inspec-

tion takes place. If evidence of a grow operation is found, the homeowner receives an administrative fee of about $3,200, and the home cannot be occupied until the wiring is repaired to the satisfaction of an electrical inspector. If no evidence of a grow-op or clandestine drug lab is found, the administrative fee is waived. In Mission, litigants say their city’s $5,200 inspection fee is nothing more than a cash grab. During 2009, Mission dealt with 219 files and levied 137 inspection fees, bringing in $712,400 to the district for the year. See GROW-OPS / Page 4

Grow-ops: Resurgence is ‘likely’ From page 3

David Eby, with the B.C. Civil Liberties Association, will be helping out the Mission residents challenging the bylaw. “We’ll be arguing for the court to look broadly at these sorts of bylaws,” he told Black Press. Garis said he would be surprised to learn Mission was applying the fee if there was no evidence of a grow operation. “There’s no basis for applying the fee (if there isn’t evidence of a grow operation or drug lab),” Garis said,

noting that there is also an appeal process built into the program, and if there is any grey area, the fee gets dropped. “I just don’t see how it could have gotten this far under these circumstances, frankly.” Mission council decided Monday to put the bylaw on hold for a month. Garis said it would be unfortunate if Mission shut its program down permanently. “What they’re likely to see is a resurgence, because what I do believe is that the dark industry

of all of this is organized crime,” Garis said. “If they’re prepared to make that decision, that’s what the consequences will be.” A home grow operation can go from seed to harvest in three to four months, so the criminals will be quick to pick up on the absence of a bylaw, Garis notes. “Along with this comes home invasions gone wrong, drive-by shootings, grow rips, organized crime, dirty money, all of those things come to your neighbourhood to support this,” Garis said. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

• Community forums for elderly residents. The HomeSafe program was launched in response to a study showing the most likely areas of Surrey to burn. The study, titled Residential Fires in Surrey B.C. 1988 to 2007, was written by Amanda McCormick at the University of the Fraser Valley. The 86-page report focused on 3,594 blazes that occurred over the last two decades, almost 90 per cent of which were in residential buildings. McCormick found the Surrey community with the most fires was Newton (30.6 per cent), trailed closely by Whalley (26.2 per cent). The rest of Surrey’s six communities fell well behind, including Guildford (12.5 per cent), South Surrey (11.8 per cent), Fleetwood (11.1 per cent) and Cloverdale (7.8 per cent). “The most common source of ignition identified was overwhelmingly cooking; this accounted for more than one-third of all residential fires (39.9 per cent), whereas match/open flame accounted for approximately one-fifth (17 per cent),” McCormick found. “In addition, over the past five years, smokers’ material has been resurging as a source of residential fire, increasing to 13.4 per cent in 2007 from 9.8 per cent in 2003.” Fires from cooking were the most common source of residential blazes in Newton. In Fleetwood, just under half started around the stove and in Cloverdale, 30.9 per cent began during meal preparation. Cloverdale and South Surrey homes were also much more likely than other communities to experience fire damage from open flame, matches or electrical sources. “That might be due to the use of electrical blankets,” McCormick said. “We have a higher seniors’ population in South Surrey, so that might be something that’s tied to winter trends.” The study also found homeowners are failing to properly use smoke alarms, which are identified as a primary way to prevent casualties. About two-thirds of homes which caught fire had

smoke alarms installed, but half of those were not activated. Garis said the information contained in the study is invaluable. However, the lack of smoke alarms took him by surprise. McCormick said to her knowledge there hasn’t been a similar report done elsewhere in Canada, although they’re more common in the United States and Britain. She said she’ll be continuing with followup studies to determine how the city’s preventative measures have worked.

Innocent man ‘doing his job’ one of 2 killed in shootings

Thursday February 3rd 2011 9:00 am –2:00 pm

by Dan Ferguson EIGHT MEN alleged to

be members of the United Nations gang – including two Surrey residents – have been charged with killing an innocent man from Langley in Burnaby in 2008 and murdering a rival gang member in Langley in 2009. The officer in charge of the regional Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), Supt. Dan Malo, released details of the charges against the U.N. members and the names of the accused at a Monday afternoon news conference in Burnaby. At the same time, Malo warned residents to be on the lookout for two of the people charged, who are still on the loose. Six men, all of them already in jail on other charges were formally charged Friday with

first-degree murder for the May 9, 2008, shooting death of Jonathan Alex Barber, 23, of Langley who was killed while driving a Porsche Cayenne in Burnaby along Kingsway near 14 Avenue. Barber was taking the vehicle to have some electronics installed when he was shot by United Nations gang members who were after the Bacons. Malo described Barber as “a complete innocent just doing his job” who had no idea he was working on a vehicle that linked to the notorious Bacon brothers and the Red Scorpion gang. Charged are Vancouver resident Barzan Tilli-Choli, Richmond resident Dan Russell, Mission resident Dilun Hung, Burnaby resident Karwan Saed and two Surrey residents, Ion Kroitoru and Yong

District: Seeking damages, costs

Lee, all alleged U.N. members. Two other people, both still at large, have been charged with first degree murder for the February 6, 2009, shooting of Red Scorpion and Bacon brothers associate Kevin LeClair who was gunned down in a targeted hit at the Thunderbird Mall in Langley in broad daylight. The 26-year-old died two days later in hospital after being shot several times at close range while in his pickup truck. Leclair was chased into the busy Walnut Grove mall parking lot by two vehicles, one a van and the other a car. Surveillance footage from a 200 Street Shell gas station’s camera showed two vehicles roaring around the Langley gas bar, with the drivers shooting at

each other from their vehicles. Charged are Vancouver resident Conor D’Monte, 33, described by Malo as the current leader of the U.N. gang and Cory “Franky” Vallee of no fixed address. D’Monte and Vallee are also charged with conspiracy to murder the Bacons and their associates. Currently D’Monte and Vallee are both on the run from police, who have obtained a warrant for their arrest. Malo described the pair as “extremely dangerous” and warned anyone who spots them to call 911. The victim’s families were informed of the charges and invite to attend the media briefing but did not appear. Malo said the families appeared happy with the developments. dferguson@langleytimes.com

discovered that the metal straps required to anchor the top of the canopy to the wall to prevent the top of the canopy rotating away from the wall were missing.” Further investigation, says the lawsuit, revealed the metal straps had not been installed in the fallen section and another overhang. The school district is seeking general and special damages as well as costs. The elementary school, located near 54 Avenue and 125A Street, was repaired in time for the new school year last September. It was originally built in 1919, but the section of roof in question was part of an addition constructed during 1987-1988. The allegations have not been proven in court and the defendants have not yet filed a response. sreynolds@surreyleader.com

PUBLIC TRUST

RAESIDE

RCMP under the gun

f nothing else, former solicitor general and MLA Kash Heed deserves credit for drawing attention to the current negotiations between the provincial government and the RCMP for a new 20-year contract. Heed’s allegations that a police probe into his own conduct as MLA is an attempt at character assassination come at a crucial time in the RCMP’s history. Heed has been calling for more accountability for the RCMP and for that he may have made a few enemies on the force. But it’s unlikely that the releasing of information in a warrant and charges related to alleged misuse of MLA funds to pay salaries of political operatives was merely an attempt to make Heed look bad and win public favour. As a career police officer and former solicitor-general, Heed has experience to back up his assertions that the RCMP needs to do a better job policing itself. But his voice is just one among many calling for greater accountability after the handling of the missing women’s case, which a recent report suggested was mishandled by Mounties (and Vancouver Police); the death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski; and recent stories of rogue police officers misusing their power. In light of these stories, it would be a surprise if the new contract failed to reflect the need to restore public confidence. But these negotiations are being held behind closed doors and the public has no idea whether changes are being contemplated. The plain truth of the matter is the RCMP needs to win back the public trust before arguing it does a better job than would a B.C. regional police force. But it has many hurdles to clear. For one, the national police force appears to be at arm’s length from the communities it serves. Unlike municipal police forces, such as Delta’s, there is no local board in place to set priorities, nor is it as deftly able to handle media inquiries because it is such a large organization. Still, the RCMP has great experience and resources to offer, and the success of the regional Integrated Gang Task Force and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team have proven the Mounties can work effectively with other police agencies. As for Heed, he should continue to ask for more police accountability but remain silent when it comes to his own affairs. – Black Press

s the minutes ticked down to last week’s deadline for NDP leadership candidates to sell memberships, the Adrian Dix campaign brought in stacks of memberships and bags of money, which was then divvied up and attached to memberships. Rival candidates Harry Lali and Mike Farnworth cried foul, but the party brass quickly decided the strict rules they imposed were just guidelines, and they’ll accept the memberships. So Dix is now the front-runner, assuming these thousands of suddenly inspired members from Vancouver’s South Asian and Filipino communities translate into votes for him on April 17. As stinky as all this is, it’s not the NDP’s biggest problem. Dix’s remarks in launching his campaign point to another one. He chose a theme of wealth redistribution. “Analysis from all over the developed world demonstrates that the polarization of wealth and power, and the growth of poverty, have very significant financial and social costs imposed on our children and our communities by the growing divide in our

To Horgan I would reply that this is an understandable reaction by investors to a party that remains explicitly opposed to profit. To Dix, I would say I look forward to details of this analysis of the terrible effects of income inequality in the developed world. My understanding is that if it weren’t for private capital, competition and rewards for efficiency and innovation, there wouldn’t be much of a developed world to analyze. The root of the recent turmoil in the NDP has been described as a lack of policies. That’s not accurate. Judging by the party’s foundation document, the problem is policies so discredited they can’t mention them. Actually there is a modern policy that equalizes wealth by supporting the poor and placing more of the burden on those most able to pay, while encouraging investment. It’s called the Harmonized Sales Tax. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com tﬂetcher@blackpress.ca

Uniting the NDP a huge task MLA Mike Farnworth has thrown his hat in the ring to replace NDP leader Carole James. If you had not noticed, it was probably because of the knockdown, drag-out bar-room brawl taking place in the background, drowning out anything he had to say. Yes, it was the Jenny Kwan gang of 13, taking on the majority Carole James gang. Since the gang of 13 follow only their own drummer, Mike Farnworth’s work will be cut out for him if he tries to unite this motley crew on April 17, 2011. Julius Caesar was warned about the Ides of March, while Mike must watch his back on April 17, 2011. Fred Perry Surrey

that $100 million is being lost by BC Hydro every year due to electricity theft, most of it stolen by organized crime groups to power illegal pot grow-ops. That’s $100 million every year that gets added to your hydro bill and mine. As an honest BC Hydro customer I don’t like that one bit. Why hasn’t BC Hydro moved faster to bring in the kind of smart technology and smart meters that can put an end to electricity theft? The archaic meter technology BC Hydro has on the ground hasn’t changed since my grandparents were kids and it can’t do anything other than crudely measure how much electricity has gone through it. Can you imagine what it would be like if we were still using the same archaic appliances, phones, TVs and radios that were around in the 1940s and 1950s? What a joke that would be. So why are we still using the same electricity meters from that era that can’t do any of the smart things current meter technology can do like detecting electricity theft? As far as I’m concerned, smart meters can’t get installed fast enough. Zeroing in on electricity theft in this province, the reputed grow-op capital of North America, should be a major priority and I can’t wait to see the offenders cut off from their $100 million a year free teat.

A letter writer supports BC Hydro installing smart meters to help put an end to electricity theft, which is often used in illegal marijuana grow-ops.

Setting politics aside is best for students WHAT’S UP with the FSA?

If you have children in public school, chances are you’ve heard from the school a little more frequently than usual. This is, after all, the time of year when the FSA debate dominates education headlines and creates a flurry of communication from the school to parents about its use and value. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation suggests the FSA is a waste of time and that you can safely and easily excuse your child from writing those exams. The education ministry says the FSA is both mandatory and as valuable as an annual physical. What’s going on? The FSA, or Foundation Skills Assessment, was developed by teachers in the province as a standardized measure of reading, writing and numeracy for the Grade 4 and 7 levels. Principals and vice-principals

spend a lot of time responding to questions about the FSA from parents and the public. In some districts there is an expectation that principals will contact each parent who sends in a letter to excuse their child from the tests. I have heard directly from principals and vice-principals that the number and length of these conversations would be better served focusing on student instruction and achievement. Whether or not a standardized test can provide critical information to teachers, parents and students no longer seems to be the debate. This is not because the test is flawed but because of three unfortunate circumstances that currently surround the tests and their administration: 1). The misuse of the data by the Fraser Institute to rank schools.

The Fraser Institute’s use of the data does not reflect the many unique challenges faced by individual schools, nor does it credit the many unique successes of individual schools. 2). Although the ministry insists that writing the FSA is mandatory, the BCTF has successfully undermined participation in many districts and, in some districts, the participation level is less than 50 per cent. The low participation rates mean that the data collected is not sufficiently reliable to be used for district and provincial goal-setting. 3). The understandable lack of effort many students put into the tests. These three circumstances have created a problem: The FSA as the chosen standardized testing measure is no longer able to do what it was designed to do.

As suggested by some in government it is time for the FSA to be replaced with another standardized measure that does not have the political baggage or rhetoric around it. Government has the right to request and look for standardized testing measures in the education system. Is it possible to find one where the participation level and politicizing are not distractions, nor a detriment to the good work that continuously goes on in our schools? It is time for all parties to come to the table and have a meaningful discussion about assessment in our province, one where politics are put aside in the best interest of the students of B.C.

Pedophile stalks boy Judge deems man a dangerous offender by Sheila Reynolds THE MAN “has not had a break

since the day of his birth,” said the judge. But any sympathy for Steven Paul Mewhort had to be put aside, Judge Peder Gulbransen said in sentencing him, to protect the public, and in particular, children. According to a sentence handed down in September, but just released on Wednesday, Mewhort has been in prison for all but four days since May 12, 2004. The 37-year-old pleaded guilty to sexually touching an 11-yearold boy on July 31, 2006 at Real Canadian Superstore in Surrey. The offense took place within days of him completing a twoyear prison term for a similar offense. Mewhort, described as “a diminutive man, barely the size of a teenager,” was not under supervision when he went to Superstore in the summer of 2006. The store’s video footage showed him in the DVD department of the store, where he seems to fixate on the pre-teen almost immediately. The boy was clearly uncomfortable and moved away, but Mewhort followed him. The boy moved again, this time many aisles away and tried out a video

game. The store surveillance, according to court documents, showed Mewhort walking up and down the aisles, pretending to shop, but eventually stopping about 10 feet from the victim. He rolled up his sleeve, looking furtively up and down the aisles, moving closer and closer until he was behind the boy. The man put his hand on the boy’s shoulder to prevent him from leaving and proceeded to put his hand on the child’s leg and began to fondle the boy’s right foot.

“(Man) has not had a break since the day of his birth.” Judge Peter Gulbransen Mewhort didn’t touch any other part of the child’s body, but rubbed his foot for four minutes before store employees confronted him and led him to a security room. An offence in 2004 was similar in that Mewhort confronted two boys in a Vancouver park who were fixing a bike and began rubbing the boys’ feet. The pair managed to get away and alerted

a nearby police officer. Mewhort was sentenced to two years in jail and three years probation for that incident. Although the 2004 and 2006 incidents are the only sexual offences on Mewhort’s record, his previous crimes involve a string of inappropriate behaviours towards children, including touching a 14-year-old girl’s buttocks on a bus. The recent court decision says Mewhort has been “troubled with serious physical, neurological, psychological and social problems from early childhood.” As an infant he rarely interacted with others, his speech and motor development were delayed, he had a deformed foot and a limp, he did poorly in school and didn’t associate with peers. By age 15, his inappropriate sexual behaviour had drawn the attention of authorities. Though he has been under the supervision of the justice system since 1999, Judge Gulbransen said based on psychological and psychiatric assessments, there “really is no question” that Mewhort will reoffend. Gulbransen declared Mewhort a dangerous offender and imposed a jail sentence “for an indeterminate period.” He must also submit a DNA sample.

Abbott, Stilwell echo principals’ call by Tom Fletcher TWO B.C. Liberal leadership can-

didates have called for changes to province-wide testing for elementary school children, after the head of the B.C. Principals’ and Vice Principals’ Association joined the B.C. Teachers’ Federation in rejecting the current test program. Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) tests are currently being administered across the province to Grade 4 and 7 students, to measure reading, writing and number skills. The BCTF has fought against the tests for years, with teachers refusing to mark them and lobbying parents to exclude their children. Shuswap MLA George Abbott, who was briefly education minister before running to succeed Premier Gordon Campbell, said skills assessment tests are important. He suggested the testing regime could be modified to make it work better. “There is not an appropriate alternative to it at this point, but I do think that there is much merit in exploring how we could either supplement or improve FSA testing, to ensure that parents get the best possible understanding of how

well their children are progressing,” Abbott said in interview. He stopped short of calling for the FSA tests to be scrapped and replaced with new tests, as leadership rival and former advanced education minister Moira Stilwell suggested last week. “It seems clear to me that FSA is no longer the appropriate test,” Stilwell said. Jameel Aziz, president of the B.C. Principals’ and Vice-Principals’ Association, issued a statement last week that said the FSA has too much “political baggage.” Aziz said the problem is not flaws in the tests, but the time spent by administrators responding to questions from parents who get conflicting messages from the ministry and teachers. This results in students either not taking the tests, or not trying as hard as they should. Aziz also objected to the use of FSA test results by the Fraser Institute to rank schools, which he called a “misuse” of the data. Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid sent a letter to parents when the test period began, advising them the tests are mandatory. MacDiarmid likened the tests to routine medical checkups for children.

Province-wide earthquake drill hits B.C. 400,000 people drop, cover and hold on during event to promote quake safety awareness by Sharron Ho MORE THAN 400,000 people are registered to take part in a province-wide earthquake drill scheduled for today (Wednesday, Jan. 26). The Great British Columbia ShakeOut drill is designed to teach British Columbians what to do before, after and during an earthquake. This is the inaugural year for the B.C. ShakeOut, which was modelled after California’s successful three-year run of annual county-wide

earthquake drills. David Cockle, spokesman for The Great B.C. ShakeOut said, “we do live in a seismically active area and we’re trying to promote earthquake awareness to the province and emergency preparedness for people who live in this area.” Cockle said all members of the community are participating, including families, local and provincial government offices, schools and private businesses. The public can learn how to stay safe

in the event of an earthquake by visiting the ShakeOut website at http://www. shakeoutbc.ca. There is an audio presentation that participants can play or a wrtitten script that can be read out that simulates an earthquake scenario. There is also information on the standard “drop, cover and hold on” protocol, and a questionand-answer section on being personally prepared. During a quake, dropping onto your

hands and knees protects you from falling but allows you to stay mobile. The next step is to find cover underneath sturdy tables or desks to keep yourself sheltered from falling objects. And make sure you hold on to ensure you’re covered for the duration of the earthquake. The drill is scheduled on the anniversary of B.C.’s 9.0 magnitude earthquake that occurred in 1700. newsroom@surreyleader.com

Warning sounded over quake risk Report highlights weak points and dangers by Jeff Nagel THERE’S AT least a 30-per-cent chance that an earthquake strong enough to cause significant damage will rock southwestern B.C. within the next 50 years. That estimate comes from the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction, which has released a new report calling on Canada to accelerate the pace of seismic building and infrastructure upgrades. “Public infrastructure in Canada appears highly vulnerable following decades of underinvestment, and may be severely challenged by a large earthquake,” the report says. It also warns that fires after a major earthquake have the potential to cause more damage than the shaking. More work must be done to earthquake-proof fire halls, reduce sources of ignition and ensure adequate and reliable water supplies. Central Vancouver is particularly vulnerable, it says, because transformers mounted on wooden poles downtown may arc and explode in a quake, sparking fires inches from commercial buildings. “Vancouver appears to be the only major city in North America that has not relocated its electric transmission underground in the city core.” Surrey, with newer infrastructure and less dense construction, isn’t expected to be as vulnerable. But the loss of water and sewer is a serious threat. “If these systems cannot be

Students practise a ‘drop, cover and hold on’ technique used to avoid injury during an earthquake. Within the next 50 years, southwestern B.C. has at least a 30-per-cent chance of experiencing a quake strong enough to cause signiﬁcant damage. repaired quickly then the community may need to consider large-scale evacuations and expect prolonged business closures,” the report warns, adding it would be an “unprecedented challenge” if millions of Lower Mainland residents had to be relocated. Metro Vancouver is preparing to spend $230 million building a new earthquake-proof water supply tunnel under the Fraser River to serve Surrey because the existing one is at risk of failing in even a minor quake. While much expected damage is from shaking or fires, 20 to 50 per cent of economic losses would result from the disruption of

regular business activity due to the failure of critical infrastructure. “Businesses may be unable to function after a major urban earthquake due to disruption from loss of electricity, gas, water, and transportation systems,” the report says. Besides the loss of power and communications after an earthquake, transportation could be disrupted if bridges, overpasses or transit lines fail. The report notes long commute times in the Lower Mainland underscore the region’s heavy reliance on transportation networks. It also notes the scope of the

emergency may be huge, with potentially more fatalities and property damage than any previous Canadian disaster. “Fire, police, ambulance and other first responders will be severely challenged by the size of the event,” it says. “Many hospitals, for example, have lengthy waiting times for treatment on a regular day, so they may be overwhelmed by a large earthquake.” The report looked at Canada’s weak spots in the aftermath of the recent earthquakes that devastated Haiti and Chile. Haiti’s magnitude 7.0 quake just over a year ago killed 222,000 and left 1.3 million

homeless – mainly because its buildings were highly susceptible to seismic damage. The February, 2010 magnitude 8.8 quake in Chile was the fifth most powerful ever recorded. Despite being 500 times stronger than the quake that hit Haiti, the country was much better prepared. Direct quake damage killed 432 people and another 124 were lost to a subsequent tsunami. Economic damage is estimated as high as US $30 billion, 18 per cent of the country’s annual production. Geologic evidence indicates B.C. has been shaken by six major quakes of magnitude 8.0 or more over the last 3,000 years – roughly every 500 years. The province’s last major earthquake, estimated at magnitude 9.0, is believed to have hit around 1700. “It is inevitable that a major earthquake will strike Canada,” the report warns. “The best time to act is now, before a large earthquake strikes.” Besides the risk of rarer deep subduction zone quakes, B.C. also feels at least 40 shallower crustal earthquakes each decade of magnitude 5.0 or higher, which are potentially strong enough to cause building damage. In 1872 a quake of that type of magnitude 7.4 struck about 170 kilometres southeast of Vancouver. Another similar quake hitting closer to a major centre “has the potential to cause extensive damage due to violent shaking, landslides, fire, inundation and economic disruption as a result of damage to public infrastructure.” jnagel@surreyleader.com

limited when a major earthquake hits B.C., leaving people to fend for themselves for days at a time. In the event of a destructive earthquake, British Columbians must be prepared to be self-sufficient for 72 hours or more, according to B.C.’s Provincial Emergency Program (PEP). Dan Barnscher, Surrey deputy fire chief and emergency planner for the City of Surrey, said personal preparedness is paramount to an earthquake response. Barnscher said emergency personnel, namely police officers, firefighters and paramedics may not be able to respond to routine calls during a natural disaster. “The more prepared you are for yourself and your family the better off you’re going to be on the onset and you’re not going to be dependant on outside resources.”

He said the fire department has their own emergency response protocol, which would prioritize lifesaving situations and the patrol of critical buildings such as hospitals, health care facilities and schools. In addition to preparing personal emergency reserves such as food, water and standard first aid, Barnscher advised people to become involved with the Neighbourhood Emergency Preparedness Program (NEPP). The program supplies communities with a facilitator to teach personal and community preparedness. According to the City of Surrey website, the goal of NEPP is to “prepare your neighbourhood to be selfsufficient at least 72 hours after disaster strikes.” Each participating neighbourhood is divided into groups and each group is trained for a specific emergency-related skill – for example team leadership, See KITS / Page 15

Green Timbers home to emergency command centre Team ready in case of natural disaster WHEN TWO fires broke

out in Delta recently, fire crews were stretched to their limit. So municipal front line teams were backed up by a regional Emergency Operations Centre. That centre in turn called a small outpost in Green Timbers forest, home to the regional office of the Provincial-Regional Emergency Operations Centre (PREOC). Heather Lyle, director of integrated public safety with the Green Timbers PREOC, says the local crews were exhausted and the centre was ready to arrange for resources to come from elsewhere. The Provincial Emergency Program, which operates six PREOC offices through the province, is the go-to agency for all matters of

large-scale emergency. It will also be one of the first ones called if this region is hit with an earthquake. The Green Timbers office is equipped with communications systems such as ham radios and satellite phones, as cellphone lines will likely fail following a quake as the system becomes overwhelmed with calls. The office, staffed by 12 people on any given day, is on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;level oneâ&#x20AC;? activation around the clock, Lyle said. If a local jurisdiction needs resources, PREOC is ready to help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there is more than one municipality impacted, then our role becomes even more heightened... here is where all of the overall co-ordination for the region would take place,â&#x20AC;? Lyle said. During the B.C Inte-

rior forest fires of 2003, there were four PREOCs involved, because more than 50 municipalities were affected. The coverage area for the Green Timbers PREOC includes every city from Whistler to Hope. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there was any kind of evacuation, then thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also our job is to help local jurisdictions make sure that they can support the evacuees,â&#x20AC;? Lyle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We bring in volunteers and organizations from unimpacted areas to support the impacted areas.â&#x20AC;? In the case of an earthquake, PREOC would play a significant role. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first thing we do is get the big picture, so we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start issuing resources until we have the situation status,â&#x20AC;? Lyle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That might even mean bringing in assistance from other provinces, which is likely in an earthquake situation.â&#x20AC;? Calls will go out from PREOC asking each municipality where their greatest area of need is and then assess the situation on a regional scale. In the event of an earthquake, that could be a significant undertaking. Much of the potential reaction is pre-planned and mapped out. However, the nature of a natural event requires the agency to be ready for unexpected needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an ongoing process,â&#x20AC;? Lyle said.

Woman killed in South Surrey fire identified Kelly Marie Axelson found dead in upstairs room; cause of blaze yet to be determined

by Tracy Holmes ONE WOMAN is dead

and two people are lucky to be alive after a house fire Thursday night in South Surrey. Firefighters were dispatched around 9:30 p.m. Jan. 20 after a passing motorist reported a blaze at 3018 184 St. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We arrived and

the second storey of the house on one side was heavily involved in flames,â&#x20AC;? said deputy fire Chief Jon Caviglia, referring to the older homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s north side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was going long enough to get well-established enough to burn through the roof.â&#x20AC;? When the crew arrived, two adults were

seen exiting the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basement. They told fire crews there may be someone upstairs, Caviglia said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;which there was.â&#x20AC;? Caviglia did not know if the victim was asleep when the fire started, or of any other reason why she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to escape. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a way out

for her, so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what happened. She had a stairway out, she had doors out,â&#x20AC;? he said. The victim, identified Monday as 48-year-old Kelly Marie Axelson, was found in an upstairs room, he said. One woman who arrived at the scene around noon Friday said she was shocked

to learn the fire had claimed a life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A woman died? Oh no,â&#x20AC;? she said, identifying herself only as Tammy and as a resident of the older two-storey home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is really sad.â&#x20AC;? Tammy said she was one of five or six people who called the house home. Her room, which she began renting last year, was on the upper storeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s south corner. The landlady and her husband slept at the north corner, she said, noting the house was also home to eight cats. Tammy said she and

her boyfriend left the house earlier Thursday night to watch a movie at a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house. They were planning to return for the night, she said but were alerted to the fire around 10:30 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anything except the house was on fire,â&#x20AC;? she said. A man who arrived with Tammy said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My best friend just died last night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe someone passed away with someone in the house, when someone else was in there,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Caviglia said firefighters from at least three halls responded to the scene. Extra manpower was dispatched due to the fact there are no fire hydrants close by, however lack of water was not an issue in fighting the blaze, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no issues with the water. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a factor at all. We never ran out,â&#x20AC;? Caviglia said. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger said Monday the cause of the fire has yet to be determined. It does not appear suspicious, he said.

thought we played really well. Both Victoria’s goals were sort of fluky, pinball-type goals. “The guys are working hard and it’s nice to see that hard work rewarded.” Erhart was especially pleased with his team’s defensive play; since a 5-1 loss to the Kings on Jan. 14, the Eagles have allowed just six goals in five games. “We really tightened up after the Powell River game. We’re winning battles out there, and getting really good goaltending, and to win games on the road, you need that,” Erhart said. Karel St. Laurent was between the pipes for all three games, stopping more than 30 shots in each. Offensively, the Eagles got contributions from all the usual suspects. Brad McGowan had a five-point weekend – including two goals against Langley Sunday at South Surrey Arena – and blue-liner Steve Koshey also tallied five points, all assists. Dale Hunt scored against both Alberni Valley and Langley – with both goals coming on the power play – to give him 14 on the season, while defenceman Mitch Jones scored twice Saturday. Surrey was again hot with the man advantage. Three of the team’s four goals in the Saturday game, and two more Sunday at home, came on the power-play.

Highway 99 Northbound Shoulder Bus Lane The Ministry of Transportation & Infrastructure is starting a bridge widening project on Highway 99 northbound at the Serpentine River Bridge. These improvements are part of the Shoulder Bus Lane Project currently underway on Highway 99 that will increase transit capacity, reliability and efficiency for Highway 99. This project will see the bridge widened to accommodate a 4 metre shoulder bus lane on the east side of the structure. During construction there will be a speed limit reduction along this corridor to 60 kilometres per hour on the approaches and exits of the bridge. In addition, there will be slight changes in the alignment of the highway in this area to allow for construction activities. Once implemented, the speed limit reduction is anticipated to be in effect 24 hours a day until project completion. This work is planned to begin mid January and should be completed by spring 2011.

Two losses for Devils Junior B team tied for third

by Rick Kupchuk AFTER WINNING their

As for the Western Regional Driving Championship at Fraser Downs on Feb. 26, you can count Michael Hennessy in … but by the slimmest of margins. With the cut-off date of Sunday, Jan. 23 looming to determine which three drivers would be representing B.C., an anticipated heated battle for the third and final spot didn’t materialize this past weekend at Fraser. In fact, Hennessy made the cut even though he failed to win a single race on any of the Friday, Saturday and Sunday cards. To review, Jim Marino and Dave Hudon had locked up the first two spots on the Team BC roster. (As we pointed out last week, leading driver Ed Hensley doesn’t qualify because he was born in the U.S. and Keith Clark will be driving for the Alberta team.) Hennessy went into last weekend with 20 wins. David McKellar – with 18 – had a shot at overtaking Hennessy but it wasn’t in the cards. McKellar managed just one victory – Red Star Fiona in the 6th on Saturday – to fall a single win short of gaining entry into the Western Regional competition that will also include drivers from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Jackson Wittup, the hard-working Director of Racing at Fraser Downs, had a plan in place if McKellar and Hennessy had wound up tied for driving wins at the conclusion of Sunday’s card. Thinking ahead as he normally does, Wittup had made arrangements to carry the competition over to the next three days of racing … just in case. There’s plenty of action to look forward to at The Downs between now and the big driving showdown on Feb. 26. The $35,000 Stakes Final of the Mr. Vancouver for 4-year-old horses and geldings shares the spotlight on next Sunday’s card with the $15,000 Miss Onager for fillies and mares. Nobody Can will be favoured in the Mr. Vancouver while Multiflora Hanover, winner of both elimination legs, should be tough to beat in the Miss Onager. And don’t forget that the Guaranteed Win 4 Pool on Sunday has been increased to $15,000. Presented by BCLC, the Win 4 wagering will include races 6 through 9. Racing resumes at The Downs Friday at 7:00 p.m. with 1:15 p.m. starts Saturday and Sunday. See you there!

second overtime game in a row last Wednesday night in Aldergrove, the North Delta Devils dropped a pair of 4-2 decisions over the weekend. The Devils began the stretch with a 4-3 win over the Aldergrove Kodiaks, then fell on home ice to the Abbotsford Pilots Saturday night at the Sungod Arena, and to the Mission Icebreakers in a road game Sunday. The losses left North Delta tied for third place in the Tom Shaw Conference of the Pacific International Junior Hockey League, in a dead heat with the Grandview Steelers. Both teams are 21-14-4 (won-loss-tied). The Devils seemed headed for a loss just past the midway mark of the game Wednesday, trailing 3-0. Michael Nardi netted the first North Delta goal late in the second period, then assisted on tallies by Adam Nathwani and Wesley Lee to tie the contest after 60 minutes. Overtime lasted just 53 seconds, when Christopher Manhas scored on the powerplay for the Devils. Saturday night in the Sungod Arena, the Pilots got two goals

each from Riley Lamb and Kevin Lourens to get the win. Manuveer Mahil and Nathwani replied for the Devils, who were tied with Abbotsford 1-1 after the first period, but trailed 2-1 after 40 minutes. North Delta ran into penalty trouble, allowing the Pilots to score twice on nine powerplay opportunities. Abbotsford killed off all five shorthanded situations. The Devils survived what could have been a disastrous first period in Mission Sunday, but still lost. Outshot 21-3 in the opening period, North Delta trailed just 1-0. Shots were even in the second frame at 7-7, but the Ice Breakers added two more goals and led 3-1 going into the third period. It was the visitors’ turn to carry the play in the final frame, but despite a 17-7 lead in shots on goal, the Devils managed only to trade goals. Chris Bond and Taylan Kornelsen were the Devils goal scorers. North Delta was in Ladner last night to play the first place Ice Hawks. They are at home Saturday, facing off against the Port Moody Black Panthers at 6:45 p.m. at the Sungod Arena.

A decade of good memories Early diagnosis, family support and a sense of humour have helped Doug McMorland live with Alzheimer’s disease for 10 years BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER

Doug McMorland, who has early onset Alzheimer’s disease, is this year’s honouree at the Investors Group Walk for Memories. The walk, organized by the Alzheimer Society of B.C., will be held in Surrey on Jan. 30.

by Boaz Joseph

onna McMorland describes her husband as abnormally wonderful. Indeed, Doug McMorland is kind of a lucky man. He reads the sports and business sections daily, he shops alone and even drives – though with Donna at his side, watching him “like a hawk.” What may have kept him high-functioning and self-aware for a full decade after an Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis was a proactive response when things began to go wrong. In 2001, at age 60, Doug began to forget things at his job as an electrician at Surrey Memorial Hospital. His boss soon got angry as wiring projects were abandoned or forgotten. “It got to the point that they were following me,” he admits. “It got very uncomfortable.” His weakening short-term memory also made it hard to remember the names of people he’d been having coffee with for years. One strategy he used was to simply greet them, but never mention names. “Sometimes, it’s easy to get away with it. Sometimes, you get caught.” The family doctor referred Doug to a neuropsychologist who suggested a series of intensive tests at UBC and then VGH to Donna determine what was going on. Doug underwent CT scans and was peppered d McMorland with questions and instructions: Repeat these colours, multiply these numbers in your head, recall these drawings, retell the story you just heard. The conclusion was grim: The onset of Alzheimer’s disease, a progressively worsening condition. Once the shock of the diagnosis had passed, Doug and Donna – his wife was now his primary caregiver – would learn about the ways to slow down the advancement of the disease. The early diagnosis, along with a combination of medications (including cholinesterase inhibitors), exercise and social support from his wife, friends, three adult children and the Alzheimer Society of B.C. (ASBC), have allowed Doug to enjoy a normal retirement. He maintains an active social life and works out on the treadmill at the YMCA three times a week. To stay focused, he keeps a coil notebook with a daily agenda. Admittedly, Alzheimer’s has tested the patience of his wife.

“We decided that we weren’t hiding this from anybody.”

Multi-tasking, for instance, is out of the question – Donna knows she can’t tell him to go to the bedroom, brush his teeth and pick up the mess in the living room. One thing must be done at a time. One Easter, he came back from the grocery store with everything but the ham. He’s also slowed right down. “You’re like molasses,” his wife tells him. “It takes you a long time to do anything.” Their good humour has helped over the years. “You’re the ones with the problem, not me,” Doug joked with his family just after diagnosis. “I’m fine.” “We’re very fortunate that he’s been very slow in progressing,” says Donna, who adds that people are often surprised to learn he has Alzheimer’s. “He is really higher-functioning than other people who were diagnosed 10 years ago,” says Avalon Tournier, a support and education coordinator with the ASBC. “It think part of it ha has to do with a positive attitude, exercising and ea eating correctly. “But the other thing is I think he was selfa aware and diagnosed quite early. Some people w three or four years and say to themselves wait ‘ don’t think there’s anything wrong’ and deny ‘I i so by the time they’re diagnosed, the medicait, ti tions don’t work as effectively.” T Tournier speculates that the cholesterol-lowerst ing statin drugs Doug took before diagnosis helped t curb b the th disease. to “When he was first diagnosed, we decided that we weren’t hiding this from anybody,” says Donna. “This was not our dirty little secret. “And we tease him unmercifully,” she adds with a laugh. Doug and Donna have also learned coping and stress management skills by participating in ASBC support groups, which focus on helping often-stressed caregivers as well as patients. On Jan. 30, Doug will speak as an honouree at the Walk for Memories, an annual Alzheimer Society fundraiser. The Investors Group Walk for Memories serving White Rock, Langley, Surrey and Delta will take place Sunday, Jan. 30 from 1-2 p.m. at Eaglequest Golf Club at Coyote Creek, 7778 152 St. Registration begins at 11:30 a.m. For more information or for pledge forms, visit www.walkformemories.com, email info@ alzheimerbc.org or call 1-800-667-3742, 604-541-0606 or 604533-5277. bjoseph@surreyleader.com

Fast facts: • Alzheimer’s disease is the leading form of dementia. It is progressive and robs memory and steals the ability to reason, communicate and perform daily tasks. It is also terminal. • Changes in the brain can begin to appear decades before diagnosis, and progression can last between seven and 10 years. • More than 70,000 British Columbians have Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia. • More than 10,000 of those are under 65. • Controllable risk factors include obesity, diabetes, heart disease and chronic depression. • In an online survey, 23 per cent of baby boomers couldn’t name any of the early signs of Alzheimer’s disease, even though their risk doubles every five years after 65. • The society offers early stage Alzheimer and caregiver support groups in Surrey, North Delta and White Rock.

Get on board Help kids get to the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival

DID YOU KNOW that for just $300, you can sponsor a bus to transport a class of school children to the Surrey Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Festival? Surrey has the greatest number of children under 18 in Metropolitan Vancouver, and often there is little funding for extra activities. Many schools have indicated they are unable to attend the 2011 festival because they do not have funds for bus transportation, so the festival is reaching out to the community to ask for help. In return, they will provide on-site

signage recognizing your contribution (or a tax receipt â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your choice). You will also be invited to the sponsorship appreciation event, attended by Surrey council members and community business leaders. The Surrey Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Festival takes place from May 26-28 at Bear Creek Park. To arrange your bus sponsorship, contact Marnie Perrin at 604-5015583 or MLPerrin@surrey.ca, or Debbie McKeown at 604-592-6984 or DHMcKeown@surrey.ca

75 Harvey was born October 19, 1940 and passed away peacefully on the afternoon of Wednesday January 19th following a battle with cancer. Predeceased by his wife Doris in 2001, and partner Joan in 2008, he is survived by his wife, Bettina, son Dean, sister Getrude (Arthur) Buse, niece Elizabeth Ann (Eric) Shiels, nephew Arthur (Joanne) Buse, and their sons Joshua, Steven, Nicholas and Matthew. Harvey was born in Barrhead, Alberta, and studied engineering at the University of Alberta. He worked in many locations across Canada including Riding Mountain National Park and Labrador City before deciding to move to BC in 1966. Harvey practiced civil engineering in Prince George, Kamloops and Vancouver, before starting his own ﬁrm Elbe, Lock & Walls with partners in 1980. He relocated to Duncan in 1994, to pursue his love of boating, becoming a member of the Maple Bay Yacht Club. He worked for the Cowichan Valley Regional District until 2001 and then as a consulting engineer, up until he became ill in the fall of 2010. In addition to sailing, Harvey had a passion for photography, collecting vintage cameras, working in his darkroom and scouring the valley for photo opportunities. He regularly presented and exhibited his photos with the Cowichan Valley Camera Club. He was an active volunteer in the community, working with the Canadian Cancer Society, CVRD Elder College, Maple Bay Yacht Club and Cowichan Valley Camera Club, with two highlights being his participation as a photographer for the 2005 BC Seniors Games and the 2008 North American Indigenous Games. He also recently joined the Probus Club. Harvey was exceptionally outgoing and approachable, and was just as comfortable talking with members of the public as with close friends and family. He will be dearly missed.
