Pay parking at hospitals criticized

By Jeff NagelFraser Health is defending its policy of

charging for pay parking at most of the region’s hospitals to generate additional revenue.

Th e policy – long denounced by hospi-tal users as a heartless cash grab – came under fi re again at last month’s meeting of Fraser’s board of directors in South Surrey.

Langley Township resident Harold Nagy demanded to know why Delta and Mission don’t have “this B.S. about pay parking” while patients and visitors must pay at other hospitals.

Delta and Mission are the only two mu-nicipalities that have bylaws that prohibit pay parking at hospitals.

“Th ey should all be free,” Nagy said, adding the charges make some pa-tients worry they’ll run out of time and be fi ned. “It’s a place of necessity when you go there. It’s not like going out for supper.”

About a third of the $8 million in money raised from pay parking goes to maintain the lots and the rest goes into the authority’s budget for patient care.

“Personally, I wish it could be consis-tent,” Fraser Health board chair Karen Matty told Black Press. “But we do not write bylaws in the various communities.”

Th e Canadian Medical Association Jour-nal once likened pay parking to an unfair user fee that can add stress for patients and disrupt their care if they have to go out and feed a meter.

Fraser provides free parking passes for renal dialysis patients and grants other fi nancial hardship parking permits on a case-by-case basis.

For everyone else, Matty predicts hospi-tal pay parking is here to stay.

“Having to pay for parking is something that people need to get their head around,” she said.

“I don’t want to pay for parking. But parking seems to be becoming a premium here in B.C., especially the Lower Main-land. And I think we are all getting used to that fact.”

Part of the rationale for pay parking is it spurs stall rotation, so some spaces are available when patients and visitors need them and aren’t hogged all day by users from surrounding businesses.

Parking costs $3.50 an hour at most hospitals in the Fraser region, although

that starts at $4.25 at Burnaby, Royal Columbi-an and Surrey Memorial hospitals, while hourly rates are lower in the east-ern Fraser Valley – $2.50 in Abbotsford, $1.75 in Chilliwack and free in Hope.

White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin said he can’t recall his council ever being asked to outlaw pay parking at Peace Arch Hospital.

But he suggested Delta Hospital is a spe-cial ca se because of its location with an abundance of other free parking nearby.

“Diff erent situations call for diff erent tactics,” Baldwin said. “If (Delta) put in pay parking probably people would simply park along the roads up to it or around city hall. So it doesn’t make a lot of sense.”

Baldwin also noted some pay parking lots at Peace Arch Hospital are actually owned and operated by the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation, with all proceeds going directly to local hospital improve-ments, not into Fraser’s budget.

Premier unveils campaign to reduce violence against women

By Kevin DiakiwPremier Christy Clark was in Surrey Friday to

announce an initiative that she hopes will greatly reduce violence in the province.

Clark stopped in at the main Surrey RCMP detachment Friday morning, announcing a “long-term vision” called the Violence Free BC strategy.

She announced $3 million in civil forfeiture funds will go toward programs aimed at ending violence against women.

Civil forfeiture is collected through seized as-sets from the proceeds of crime. It has generated

about $16 million since its creation in 2006. The funds announced Friday will be used for

local anti-violence support services, the opening of a newly integrated domestic violence unit, and an upcoming campaign to raise awareness of the dangers women face.

“Violence against women is not a women’s issue – it’s an issue for all of us in British Colum-bia,” Clark said in a release. “The Violence Free BC strategy is our road map to creating a prov-ince where each of us does our part, working together, to keep women safe from harm.”

The government will also launch a pub-lic-awareness campaign in the near future.

$3 million from civil forfeiture will fund Violence Free BC strategy

By Kevin DiakiwSurrey Mounties have ar-

rested and charged who they believe is a serial bank robber who hit four local banks in January.

On Jan. 17, a Whalley bank was robbed, then on Jan. 21 a Guildford bank, then two days later, another in Whalley and the next day in Cloverdale a bank was hit.

Police believe Surrey’s Darrin

Andrew Pelland, 30, was re-sponsible for all four robberies.

Police say he was carrying a concealed weapon when he was arrested on Jan. 31.

“Our offi cers were able to link all four bank robberies based on video surveillance footage and witnesses de-scriptions and were able to focus in on a single suspect,” said Cpl. Bert Paquet of the Surrey RCMP. ”With the rapid succession of the off ences, this arrest undoubtedly prevented more robberies from being committed.”

Pelland has been in custody

since his arrest and while ad-ditional charges are expected, he has been charged with 13 off ences so far.

Th ey include fi ve counts of robbery, four counts of dis-guise with intent, possession contrary to an order, posses-sion of a prohibited fi rearm and carrying a loaded fi rearm with ammunition.

Anyone with more informa-tion is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP’s Robbery Unit at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS if they wish to remain anony-mous.

A lengthy trial which began last week will provide a window into what is

likely to be one of the top issues in Canada this year – homegrown terrorism.

John Nuttall and Amanda Korody, who lived in Surrey, are charged with making or possessing an explosive device, conspiracy to commit an indictable off ence and knowingly facilitating terrorist activity. Th e charges relate to homemade pressure-cooker bombs which were planted outside the B.C. legislature on July 1, 2013. Th ey were to go off and kill or injure people celebrating Canada Day.

Th e trial, which is expected to last about 18 weeks, is occurring at the same time a trial in Ontario is getting underway. Th at involves two men who planned to dam-age a railway bridge as a Via Rail passenger train was passing by. According to prosecutors, they wanted there to be signifi cant casualties from the destruction. Court in Toronto heard they were allegedly motivated by Muslim extremism.

Nuttall and Korody were al-legedly also motivated by Islamic extremism . However, Nuttall’s mother said outside court on Monday that the pair were inca-pable of committing any terrorist acts.

Th eir guilt or innocence will be determined by the jury.

On Friday, the federal govern-ment announced it would bring in legislation to give the Canadian Security Intelligence Service more power to monitor Canadi-an residents whom it believes may be susceptible to infl u-ence from groups like ISIS or Al-Qaeda. Th e proposed new powers are already proving controversial, with a number of civil liberties groups speaking against allowing the agency more power without more outside oversight.

Th e tragic incidents of last fall, in particular the running down of Warrant Offi cer Patrice Vincent in Quebec, had links to the radical

view of Islam being trumpeted by ISIS, and brought homegrown terrorism into sharp focus for many Canadians. Th e attacks on Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and on Parliament may have been the act of a mentally ill man, but ISIS was quick to praise them and call for more attacks on Canadians.

Th e incidents which are now subjects of the two trials had not

brought the issue to the forefront, likely because neither of them was successful.

Th e federal govern-ment is also under some pressure in Par-liament over the role played by Canadian troops in Iraq, but to most Canadians, the parliamentary debates are merely splitting hairs. Th ey recognize

quite instinctively that there are people who do not like the way of life we have in Canada. When they fi nd out that some of them are Canadian citizens who have grown up here, but would now rather be in Syria or Iraq

killing civilians and taking part in horrible brutalities, they are quite ready to give the government the benefi t of the doubt.

As this is an election year, this topic will likely be top of mind for most of 2015. Th e two trials and the ongoing brutality of ISIS ensure that the issue will stay on the front burner.

Canadians need to be aware that, in an era where it is just as easy to send a message to someone on the other side of the world as it is to speak to someone in the next room, there are some young peo-ple who are at risk of being caught up in an inexplicable enthusiasm for terrorism.

Th is issue will be with us for some time. It has nothing to do with the election, but politicians will bring it into the equation. However, it does have a great deal to do with our way of life, with the actions our military are called to undertake and with the peace and stability that we in Canada cherish - and far too oft en take for granted.

To the editor;Aft er 2012, the B.C. government reduced the

personal and spousal deductions by up to 15 per cent for tax purposes. In contrast, the federal government increased their deductions by about, two per cent in line with infl ation expectations.

Th e B.C. government’s action is the same as raising the tax rate for B.C. taxpayers without telling them. With over 2.5 million taxpayers in B.C., this will bring in $250 million each year just based on the lowest B.C. tax rate of 5.06 per cent. So if you take the higher tax brackets, it will likely bring in much, much more.

Th is is probably more than the $250 million that is expected from the proposed transit tax of a 0.5 per-cent increase in the PST.

Why did the government do this? To recover from the HST fi asco? To cover settlements with teachers and health care workers? For LNG projects? To bal-ance the budget? Th e Site C dam? Or a war chest for the next election?

Th e government has already collected an additional $250 million a year since 2012 and now they want even more money from taxpayers over and above increases in property taxes, medical premiums, BC Hydro, ferry rates and bridge tolls.

Th ere is no doubt that we need transit improve-ments, but I feel there should be a plan B. Th at’s why I’m voting “no” in the upcoming referendum.

Wally Forder

To the editor;In response to the recent letter from

Wally Forder: “East Clayton in need of a clean-up.”

A few years back I wrote a letter sug-gesting that Surrey change its “title” from City of Parks to City of Pigs. My suggestion still stands.

It is not just the Clayton area of Surrey that is disgusting, look around. Th ere is so much trash along the streets and in the parks it is shameful. Even if there are garbage cans avail-able, people will still drop their coff ee cups, cigarette butts and food wrap-pers on the ground as it appears even though the garbage can is only steps away, it is too much of an eff ort to put the garbage in the can.

I have seen cars roll down their windows to throw the garbage on the street and parents walking with their children and allowing the children to drop their papers and wrappers on the ground. Th e dumping of household items takes place in back alleys and in streams and creeks.

What is wrong with the people of Surrey? I have cleaned up numerous times along my street and it never gets better and I am tired of doing it.

People of Surrey – clean up your act! Th ere is no reason to drop your gar-bage on the street. Use a garbage can. It doesn’t take a lot of energy or brain power to fi gure it out.

By Jeff NagelHospitals in Fraser Health

remain severely congested despite the launch of a new strategy last year to improve patient fl ow, according to the health authority’s latest statistics.

Less than 39 per cent of the re-gion’s emergency patients last year were admitted to hospital within 10 hours – far below a provincial target of 55 per cent – suggesting hallway medicine remains rampant in ERs.

Th e numbers were worst at Langley and Delta hospitals (both at 29 per cent), Peace Arch (31 per cent), Mission Memorial (32 per cent), and Surrey Memorial and Chilliwack General (both at 32 per cent). Th at means more than two-thirds of ER patients in all those hospitals typically waited longer than 10 hours for a bed.

Other key capacity indicators in the health region’s newly re-leased monthly report card show hospitals across the region are also struggling to meet targets to limit the average length of patient stay, the number of patients staying more than 30 days and the proportion of patients who could instead be treated at home or in other settings instead of hospital.

Fraser Health board chair Karen Matty said ERs are jammed right now from the annual winter surge, mainly due to large numbers of patients arriving sick from the fl u.

“You don’t build an airport for the Christmas rush and you don’t build a hospital for the fl u season,” Matty said in an interview. “Th e airlines get to say, ‘We’re sold out.’ But we can’t turn patients away.”

Matty said she’s confi dent Fraser Health will soon see good results from its new strategic and opera-tional plan, which was completed last year aft er a review ordered by

Health Minister Terry Lake.“We’ve turned the ship in my

view,” she said. “We’re on a very positive road to try to shift ser-vices to the community.”

Th e plan aims to fi nd new ways to decongest hospitals by provid-ing more services at home or in community settings, and also by preventative medicine to limit chronic disease rates as the popu-lation ages.

As more capacity comes on line outside hospitals, it’s hoped there will be fewer people in hospital who don’t need to be occupying a bed, clogging the fl ow of incoming patients.

Matty said there’s a “huge” ef-fort underway to work to ensure more residents across the region have a family doctor where they can get much treatment.

“If people don’t have a family physician, they end up in the ER.”

More residential care beds, home care services and working with families of patients are all parts of the region’s interlinked approach, she said.

Th e very fact congestion statistics and various other performance measures are now being made public in monthly report cards for the entire region and each hospital is also a signifi cant improvement, she added.

“We’ve become far more trans-parent and accountable,” Matty said. “Th e report cards help us focus. We’ve never had a reporting mechanism like this.”

(Report cards can be viewed at http://www.fraserhealth.ca/about_us/transparency/reportcard/).

Several indicators show signif-icant improvement, including rates of infection by resistant bac-teria like C. diffi cile and MRSA that are now much better than the region’s targets.

Fraser Health is also on track to end the year almost right on its $3.3-billion budget at the end of March, perhaps with a very thin surplus.

Cost control allowed the region to increase the number of sur-geries and MRI scans it performs until the fi scal year fi nishes at the end of March.

By Dan FergusonTh e Fair Share Food

Services Society has closed both of its Langley storefront distribution centres, the result of bad

press and interference with suppliers, according to Society founder Kelly Fowler.

“We were driven out of business,” Fowler said.

Th e Aldergrove store at 27117 Fraser Hwy. closed in September and the Langley City store at 5765 203A St. closed in November, he said.

Fowler said Fair Share will continue to collect food for distribution to local charities, but the non-profi t has been forced to abandon selling low-cost food to low-in-come people.

“We’ve had to change our direction because we’re under attack,” Fowler said.

“We’re not doing any retail.”

Fowler said some sup-pliers stopped donating food and other products to Fair Share because of negative news coverage and lobbying by rivals. He said the controversy was creating too much stress for himself and the other volunteers he says all worked without getting salaries (although expenses were covered).

“It got to be too much of a burden,” Fowler said.

Fowler said the shut-down has stranded 800 Fair Share clients.

One former volunteer, Virginia Mary, posted a statement on Facebook decrying the shutdown.

“I am a single mom who is going to college and working [at] Fair Share literally saved my life,” Mary wrote.

“Before I knew about it, my grocery bills were over $400 per month. Aft er Fair Share they were half that.”

Now there is no Fair Share, Mary went on to say, “I’m back at the over-priced grocery stores and the expired, boxed food at the food bank.”

Most of the controver-sy concerned a door-to-door food-collecting campaign called Oper-ation Clean Out Your Pantry that dropped off paper bags with a note requesting donations of non-perishable foods and canned goods.

Food banks and chari-ties in Surrey, Abbotsford and Maple Ridge object-ed, saying Fair Share was wrongfully claiming to have their support.

In 2012, when Fowler was just starting out and

operating as the Fraser Valley Grocery Resource Society, he ran afoul of the Abbotsford Com-munity Services’ (ACS) Food Bank.

Th e food bank com-plained the grocery bag note was misleading because Fair Share was saying “we support the local food banks” and that would make people think ACS was operating the program.

At the time, Fowler told the Abbotsford News the bag campaign would be halted in Abbotsford.

In 2014, the bag cam-paign attracted fl ak in Surrey and Maple Ridge.

Youth Unlimited, a group that operates an in-school breakfast program in Maple Ridge, complained it was misleading of Fair Share to say it supported Youth Unlimited.

Dennis Hemminger, the area director of Youth Unlimited, said his organization was not associated with Fair Share.

“Th ey shouldn’t be soliciting outside their area,” Hemminger said.

Fowler told the Maple Ridge News it was a mistake that had been dealt with.

“We’ve got it all straightened out,” Fowler said.

When Fair Share donation bags appeared in a Cloverdale neigh-

bourhood, it prompted criticism by Marilyn Herrmann, executive director of the Surrey Food Bank.

Herrmann told Th e Cloverdale Reporter newspaper that organi-zations like Fair Share are “popping up all over the place” and are not affi liated with the food bank.

“We do not barter, trade or sell donated food,” Herrmann said, adding the food bank also doesn’t canvass door-to-door.

Fowler said Fair Share solicits donations outside Langley because it deliv-ers food as far away as Tsawwassen.

Th e donated food was distributed to the homeless, shut-ins and Fair Share volunteers, Fowler said.

Fair Share provided Black Press with a list of agencies it assists, including Triangle Community Resources (a Langley-based agency that provides employ-ment services under government contract for people with “multi-ple barriers”), the SDA (Seventh Day Adventist) food bank in Aldergrove, Betty Gilbert Elemen-tary School, Salvation Army Soup Kitchen, Mission Food Bank and Christian life Assembly Recovery Church.

Before establishing Fair Share, Fowler was co-founder of the Oasis Outreach Society in Chilliwack, which recently opened a store in Langley on 203 Street and Douglas Crescent that re-sells donated food items at reduced prices to low-income people.

Fowler is no longer associated with Oasis.

Silver lining to coming in secondBy Evan SealWalking into the Port Kells

Boxing Club, located in the basement of the Port Kells Community Centre, feels like stepping back in time. Th e tiny, fl uorescent-lit concrete room is littered with yellowing posters of past champions and boxing fi ght card posters of local and world championship matches.

Years of sweat hang thickly in the air.

Punching bags dangle from the ceiling amid speed bags and skipping ropes, and a wall-sized mirror commands one side of the room. A boxing ring beaten down by many epic battles is tucked away in the corner.

Sixteen-year-old Frank Hurt Secondary student Eric Basran sits alone on a small wooden bench in the gym putting on hand wrap – long strips of cotton material used to protect a fi ghter’s hands beneath his gloves.

He’s soon up shadow boxing in front of the mirror concen-trating on his refl ection, avoid-ing solid body shots and straight right-hand punches.

It’s his routine in a sport built on routine and Basran is realiz-ing his practice is paying off .

He returned last week from Quebec City sporting a silver medal from the Canadian Youth Boxing Championships, held Jan. 20-24.

“He has natural athleticism and boxing ability,” said Al Harper, Basran’s coach. “He’s got that boxing sense and is able to know what other fi ghters are going to do before they do it.”

Fighting as a member of Team BC and representing the Queensborough Boxing Club, Basran, fi ghting in the 52-kilo-gram weight category, defeated a fi ghter from Quebec in his opening match. Th is moved him into the gold medal fi nal against another Quebec fi ghter,

Th omas Blumfi eld, who had nearly 80 fi ghts under his belt and a recent second-place fi nish at the U.S. National Champion-ships – a challenge not lost on his coaches.

Aft er seeing how Basran’s gold-medal opponent handled

his semi-fi nal match, the head coach for Boxing BC, Bob Pe-geus, wasn’t sure how Basran – a relative newcomer to the sport – would react.

“I was a little concerned about the fi nal,” said Pegeus of Basran’s lack of experience only having

seven previous fi ghts. “But every time we raise the

bar, he jumps over it.”In the fi nal, Basran came out

swinging, using his superior speed and footwork to win the fi rst two rounds with a 10-9 score each. He even handed Blumfi eld a standing-eight-count in the second round with a solid over-hand right punch, meaning he landed a shot the referee felt warranted stopping the fi ght for eight seconds to assess the other fi ghter’s ability to continue.

Th e fi ght continued into the third round with Basran’s opponent coming on strong and landing a clean shot of his own during an exchange that war-ranted an eight-second count against Basran.

Th e fi nal round was given to the Quebec fi ghter with a 10-8 score, which meant the match was tied.

At that point, two more judges were brought in, with the fi rst still calling the match a tie. However the second judge gave the match to Bas-ran’s opponent, meaning the silver medal went to Basran.

“At first I was disappointed, but then I realized he had almost 80 more fights than me,” Basran said. “Hopefully I get on the Canadian team and get a chance to go to some international tourna-ments like the Common-wealth Games.”

His goal is to make it to the Olympics.

By Nick GreenizanSome of the best under-21 soft ball

players from throughout Western Canada will take to the fi elds at Soft ball City this summer.

Th e South Surrey facility will host the 2015 U21 Men’s and Women’s Western Canadian Soft ball Champion-ships, it was announced last week. Th e tournament will run Aug. 6-9, and the Cloverdale Fury U21 women’s team will be the event’s offi cial host club.

“Soft ball BC is very pleased to have the Cloverdale Fury represent BC as the host committee for this presti-gious tournament,” said Jake Dewitt, president of the BC Amateur Soft ball Association. “Th e combination of our host team, along with our facility at Soft ball City, is sure to make this a

memorable event.”Teams from all western provinces,

as well as the Yukon and Northwest Territories, are eligible to compete.

Cloverdale Fury organizing com-mittee members are currently looking for sponsors and for volunteers to help with many aspects of the event.

“We are thankful to the Western Canadian Soft ball Association and Soft ball BC for awarding our group the opportunity to host this great event,” said Merv Sandrel. “An event this large requires many helping hands and we welcome our local community to vol-unteer and help us make this an event to remember.”

For information on the tournament, or to volunteer, email Sandrel at [email protected] or call 604-576-7865.
