Street hockey with heartSurrey

Adrian MacNairNow staffTwitter @adrianmacnair

Clutching an old wooden PeterStastny hockey stick, Tim Bailliepeers out from beneath a grey

toque, unsure whether the question was ajoke. Then he breaks into laughter.

“Street hockey,” says the self-proclaimedHockey Day Supreme Commander. “Nomore complicated than that.”

In a nutshell, that’s what the fourthannual Toque Tuesday in Surrey is allabout, as on Feb. 3 more than a dozenteams will come down to city hall and playCanada’s favourite childhood game. Butas in previous years, there’s also a goodexcuse to stickhandle your way out ofwork and come downtown to play a littlehockey.

“It’s about having fun with a veryserious subject,” explains Baillie, a retiredfirefighter and president of the SurreyFood Bank.

The money raised from the event willgo toward helping the homeless in Surrey,with proceeds from each Raising the Rooftoque going to Lookout Emergency Aid

Society (formerly KEYS), Surrey UrbanMission and Pacific Community ResourcesSociety.

Baillie says it was his work as a firefighterthat first gave him a “different view” ofpoverty.

He says it’s often firefighters who get tosee inside the private lives of people thatreveal serious issues hidden away from thepublic eye.

“You might look at a house and it mightlook like all’s well. You go inside and there’sno furniture, there’s hardly any food in thefridge.”

Those experiences propelled Baillie tobecome involved in charity work and helpchange the poverty he was seeing on adaily basis.

When he first heard about ToqueTuesday four years ago, he wanted to find away to participate in a fun way.

“We’re in Canada and Canadians playhockey. So it just started over at ChuckBailey (recreation centre) as a bunch ofshinny.”

The event was almost an immediatesuccess. Hockey enthusiasts, homelessoutreach workers and politicians alike turnout to play 20 minute games of four onfour, refereed by “Supreme Commander”Baillie who wears a large military-styleovercoat his son purchased for him inRussia.

The jacket will no doubt make an early

appearance during the event.“It comes off and on while I’m – I

wouldn’t say harassing the participantsbut while I’m interacting with theparticipants,” he says while pretending tomake a threatening gesture.

Dressing up can be half the fun. Bailliesaid one year Shayne Williams, thenof South Fraser Community Services,perfectly matched the appearance of oneof the Hanson brothers from the 1977 cultfilm Slapshot.

So, what do you need to attend theevent? Not much, says Baillie. If you don’thave a hockey stick there’s sure to be onelying around somewhere. All you have todo is buy a Raising The Roof toque for $10(socks are also available) and be willing toaccept that Baillie can and will “interact”with your game in ways that may seemunsportsmanlike.

But that’s part of the reason peoplecome out.

“I think it’s really refreshing forpeople to have some fun,” says Baillie.“Homelessness is an incredibly seriousissue and I’ve done a lot of charity stuffand sometimes it can really start to bedepressing. So every now and then youneed to have some fun.”

To get in on the action you can contactthe Supreme Commander at [email protected] or 604 762-6061.

SURREY — The City of Surreyhas been named one of the top sevenIntelligent Communities of 2015 byNew York-based think tank IntelligentCommunity Forum.

Out of more than 300 nominations,Surrey is the only Canadian city in thetop seven list and is now in the runningfor the Intelligent Community of the Yearaward, to be announced June 11. This isthe first time Surrey has made the list.

In addition to Surrey are threecommunities from the U.S. (ArlingtonCounty, Columbus and Mitchell), onefrom Australia (Ipswich), one from Brazil(Rio de Janeiro) and one from Taiwan(New Taipei City).

In a release, ICF says Surrey is “a cityin transition from a suburban past in theshadow of Vancouver to a sustainableurban future. To gain greater controlover its destiny, Surrey has developeda diversification strategy calling fordeepening the partnership between itsinstitutions of higher learning and localbusiness.”

Specifically mentioned was InnovationBoulevard, a high-tech health sectoroccupying one square mile of Surrey’sCity Centre between SFU and SurreyMemorial Hospital. The city hopes tofoster a network of health institutionsand community of talented academics,clinicians and researchers here.

The city credits the award to itsapproach in the Smart Surrey Strategy,which includes Innovation Boulevard, aswell as many other initiatives such as anorganic waste biofuel processing facilityin the works, a district energy system, atraffic management system, an extensiveopen data catalogue and more. CitywideWi-Fi is in the works, which will beoffered free at more than 40 locationsthroughout the city.

SURREY — When Surrey teacher NatalieWalsh found out about the now-infamous“Only in Surrey” Facebook page, she wassaddened to see people laughing at photos ofthe homeless.

“When I saw the page, I knew and Ifelt what they were doing wasn’t right,”said Walsh, adding the people beingphotographed would have no knowledgethey were being laughed at on social media.

But while she thought the webpage waswrong, it got her thinking about what wouldbe the right thing to do.

The idea launched a crowdfundingcampaign on Indiegogo.com to raise$22,000 in the hopes Walsh can hand outgift certificates to the homeless and needy inSurrey’s poorest neighbourhoods.

“Those people who are collecting bottles orprostituting are only doing it to pay the bills,

to buy groceries. So I thought maybe givethem a gift card so they can buy groceries.”

Walsh moved to the Lower Mainland eightyears ago so she says she didn’t know Surreyhad a reputation for being the butt of jokes.

“I didn’t grow up hearing about ‘Surreygirls’ or Surrey this and that, and to me all thecities and suburbs are all the same. They’rejust places full of people. The people are allthe same to me and there’s homeless people

in all the cities in the Lower Mainland.And there’s drug use and prostitution, it’severywhere.”

If she can reach her goal of $22,000 byMarch 16, Walsh will buy 880 gift certificatesworth $25 each. Regardless of whether shereaches her goal, she intends on handing outas many certificates as the money will buy.Depending on the response, she plans toeither hand them out personally or enlist thehelp of outreach agencies already workingwith the homeless.

To date, Walsh has collected just over$2,100 from 50 funders online.

Walsh says she thinks she can reach hergoal since she noted the Only in SurreyFacebook page has more than 11,000 “likes.”

“I can only imagine that if there are thatmany people who support something soinsensitive and hurtful, there must be twice asmany who will support something kind andgiving.”

Included with the gift certificates will be anote asking recipients to use the gift if theyhave a use for it, or to pass it on to someoneelse more deserving, says Walsh.

SURREY — When Ashley Morin’s pianoteacher took her to the opera as a child, shedidn’t know it would be the foundation ofher love affair with fashion design.

“I realized that I kind of fell in lovewith costumes and that theatrical part offashion,” said the now 21-year-old Surreyite,of going to the opera.

Morin, now a fashion design student atKwantlen Polytechnic University, will beon her way east come March as one of 25fashion students across the country pickedto compete in the Telio National DesignCompetition held in Montreal.

Her design, inspired by the 1920s, fits inwith this year’s Telio theme, Lux(e).

“It’s just one garment,” Morin, who is inthe third-year of her program, said.

Again, she was motivated by drama tocreate the piece.

“I was really inspired by DowntonAbbey… I was watching it one day and Ithought, I always wanted to make 1920smodern.

“In the ’20s, women had these beautifuldresses that were customized with thebeadwork and the handwork and that’ssomething that we really have lost today,with mass manufacturing and Forever 21and this fast fashion, where we treat it likeit’s disposable. I wanted to bring back thatone-of-a-kind, almost heirloom pieces.”

It’s hard to argue that period pieces aren’tMorin’s strong point, as she’s volunteereddoing alterations with the VancouverOpera and on a locally-filmed indie flick,Eadweard.

“It was a period film. I believe it was set inthe 1800s, so the costumes were beautiful,”Morin told the Now.

“I just helped out with minor alterationsand a little bit of pattern drafting.”

With all her volunteer work anddedication to design, it’s no wonder she waspicked to compete in Telio, and the youngfashionista couldn’t be more thrilled.

“It has been absolutely incredible,” Morinsaid of being asked to compete.

“It opens so many doors in the field youdidn’t even know existed.”

The Telio National Design Competitiontakes place from March 16 to 18 this year.

Delta farm createsscholarships for KPU

DELTA — A Delta farm is offeringstudents at Kwantlen PolytechnicUniversity even more reason to pursuetheir green thumbs.

Windset Farms has announced it willbe offering one $2,000 and two $1,000awards annually to students of KPU’shorticulture and business programs.

“We believe students enrolled inKwantlen’s programs can help us definethe horticultural reality our children willinherit,” said John Newell.

Newell said while the typical image offarming may be that of tractors and cows,the industry has become a complicatedoperation driven by technology. He saidhe hopes the scholarships will encourageyouth to pursue careers in the field andstay up to date with the methods.

“In today’s information- andtechnology-based economy, post-secondary education not only benefitsstudents but also our industry and societyas a whole,” said Newell. “There are alwaysnew ways of growing produce and newtechnologies to manage farms better. Bysupporting these students, we hope theycan help us achieve higher goals.”

Now, Jan. 20.Around 5 a.m. on the morning of

Jan. 11, I was taken to Surrey MemorialHospital by ambulance. I could not haveasked for a quicker response to my 911call, or for better care from paramedics.

However, once I arrived at thehospital, and they determined my ECGwas OK, I was put in a hospital-typewheelchair and taken to the regularemergency ward, where I sat for sixhours before seeing a doctor.

I overheard some people say they hadbeen sitting in emergency for seven andeight hours.

At one point, I overheard a nursetelling someone that things should nowstart moving faster, as they now hadtwo doctors. Was there only one doctor

working in emergency that night upuntil that time?

Every time I pick up a newspaper, Iread about how SMH is experiencingthe highest volumes ever of patients inemergency and all types of infectionoutbreaks are blamed.

While I can understand patientnumbers being higher now while we arein the cold/flu season, is this not takeninto account when they are staffing theemergency department?

Just for the record, I had a perforatedappendix in December 2013, and thattime I sat in emergency for six-and-a-half hours before seeing a doctor andbeing admitted for further tests andsurgery. Was there also an infectionoutbreak then?

Voting ‘no’ to transitwould be irrationalThe Editor,

I am a rational thinker and I amvoting “yes” to the referendum on transitinfrastructure funding.

It’s irrational to throw the baby outwith the bathwater. TransLink can bereformed but without a “yes” vote ontransit funding, our transportationwoes will only increase. Our economyneeds it, our commuters need it andour citizens need a reliable and efficienttransit system.

Vote “yes” for the future and not “no,”due to TransLink’s past sins. Now thatwould be irrational.

Your view

The National Energy Board has ruledthe B.C. government and public do nothave the right to see Kinder Morgan’s

emergency response plans, citing “personal,commercial and security reasons.”

As a make-good, the energy giant apparentlyoffered to turn over its plans in full to thegovernment, but not the public at large. Thepremier took to the airwaves on Tuesday to saythat simply wasn’t good enough, and rightly so.

While the government is elected to representus and the bureaucracy is hired to serve us, thepublic at large has a stake in the outcome of thisprocess and, accordingly, the right to know andscrutinize all aspects of it.

“Trust us” doesn’t cut it for the communities,environmental groups, First Nations and firstresponders along the pipeline’s path and itdoesn’t cut it for us.

Christy Clark has made a big deal of her “fiveconditions” for approval of any pipelines inB.C., two of which were “world-leading” oil spillresponse, prevention and recovery systems forboth B.C.’s coastline and land-based spills.

In 2013, a federal panel concluded Canadawas not prepared to handle a major tanker spillin Southern B.C.

Pipeline advocates will tell you they are saferthan ever yet spills continue to happen andclean-ups can be botched.

If Kinder Morgan’s pipeline — or any otherpipeline for that matter — is to go ahead, we’drather that be decided after a full public vettingof the worst-case scenarios.

That sure beats finding out after the factthe plans weren’t up to snuff. Better to askpermission than beg forgiveness.

DEBATE

The general consensus seems to be thatthe “Yes” side in the upcoming transitplebiscite is the one fighting from

behind, and has the much bigger proverbialboulder to push up the hill in this debate.

The “No” side, led by Jordan Batemanof the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, haspretty much had the floor to itself sincethe Christmas break. He’s been all over themedia, blasting TransLink for all kinds ofreasons and sowing the seeds of mistrustand suspicion with prospective plebiscitevoters.

But the “Yes” side can, miracle of miracles,pull off an upset victory if it can accomplisha number of tasks. It will be difficult, but itcan be done. So, free of charge, I offer someadvice on how to get the job done:

TURN THE CHANNELAs in, stop talking about TransLink

(arguably the most unpopular organizationin B.C.) and start hammering home talkabout specific transit improvements.Bateman’s modus operandi has been tomention TransLink – and all its miscues,woeful tales of waste, bloated executivesalaries, SkyTrain breakdowns etc.– in pretty well every one of his publicutterances.

Bateman is trying, understandably, tomake the plebiscite a vote on TransLink’sperformance. It’s nothing of the sort , ofcourse, but I don’t blame Bateman forpushing that argument. After all, TransLinkis the weakest link in the “Yes” side’s chain,so why not try to exploit that?

However, if people start hearing moreand more about rapid transit lines in Surrey,more buses and a new Pattullo Bridge, thatmay get their aggravated minds (whichcome from being stuck in traffic) off ofthinking of ways to punish TransLink andback onto how best to get out of their dailytraffic nightmare.

ROTATE YOUR SPOKESPEOPLEOne of Bateman’s strengths is that he is

good at obtaining media coverage. But overthe course of the next few months, he maywell turn into a liability for the “No” sidebecause folks may simply become tired ofseeing and hearing from him – and onlyhim, on the “No” side – incessantly.

But the “Yes” side has a bunch of mayorswho just won re-election, which presumablymeans they are held in good regard bythe people they are now going back to forsupport in another vote.

So, why not rotate folks like VancouverMayor Gregor Robertson, Surrey MayorLinda Hepner, Port Coquitlam Mayor GregMoore and a few others when it comes toshaping the public face of the “Yes” side?

PUSH PAST THE LEADERSAND GET TO THE MASSES

In other words, simply getting the supportof the heads of the 70-plus organizationsthat make up the “Yes” side coalition isnot enough. Getting the support of themembers of those organizations is muchmore a key to any success.

This is the classic problem perenniallyfaced by the NDP during elections.Organized labour strongly endorses theNDP, and then watches as members of theirown unions vote for another party.

For the “Yes” side to win, it needs thoseorganizations to deliver the votes of theirmembers – not just passing motions of

support at monthly meetings.A key player here may not be organized

labour so much as the environmentalmovement, which backs the “Yes” side.

I suspect environmentalists will find itmuch easier to motivate their organizations’members than organized labour has in pastvotes.

TIME AND ORGANIZATIONALINFRASTRUCTURE ON YOUR SIDE

The plebiscite ballots will start beingmailed out in mid-March, and the ballotscan be mailed back to Elections BC as late asMay 29. That’s a generous 10-week period,which kind of turns things into a 10-weeklong Election Day, as each side tries toGOTV (Get Out The Vote) every day duringthat period.

To get that vote out, presumably the “Yes”coalition will be able to tap into its memberorganizations for volunteers to help toparticipate in mail-out, phone banks andthe like (again, I presume Elections BC willallow this, although you never know).

I’m not sure the “No” Side, which seemsto consist of the one-man band Bateman,can compete when it comes to that kind oforganization.

However, Bateman may end up not evenneeding much organization.

There is still a feeling of “I-pay-too-much”already out there, and perhaps no amountof planning and reasoned arguments willovercome that.

We’ll know in June, when the results arerevealed.

Four keys to a ‘Yes’ side victoryYour letters

Transit vote provesleadership unableto make decisionsThe Editor,

Re: “Not all can afford to vote ‘yes’to tax,” the Now editorial, Jan. 20.

I will be voting “no” on the MetroVancouver Congestion ImprovementTax referendum and encourageeveryone to take the same position.

It is not because it is an unworthycause. It is certainly worthy. Yet, soare many other causes. Education,health care, policing, homelessness,poverty, child abuse and aginginfrastructure all come quickly tomind.

Is the concept of specific taxes forspecific causes the direction we aregoing?

Will the popularity or visibility ofa cause determine its success? Willthe general revenue fund be availablefor whimsy once the fundingpressures are provided by specific taxmeasures?

We elect leaders with theexpectation that they will lead. Theyare to carefully consider the issues,make the difficult decisions andstand by the reasoning behind thosedecisions. They hire competentprofessionals to advise them on theissues.

At least that is the way I thoughtthe system was supposed to work.

I oppose this referendum based onthe abdication of leadership and thedirection of creating specific taxesfor specific purposes.

of bumbling mayors have come upwith a scheme to raise $250 million forpublic transit by raising the PST.

won’t be back at the trough next year?Here in Surrey we face a possibleproperty tax increase of 10 per centat the same time as this supposedreferendum will ask us to approve evenhigher taxes by way of a PST hike.

I also note that if the schedule iscorrect, we will again be screwed byVancouver who will have its subwaybuilt well before any LRT is seen inthis city. I know how I and many otherpeople will vote.

‘Yes’ vote is rationalThe Editor,

Re: “Not all can afford to vote ‘yes’ totax,” the Now, Jan. 20.

I am a rational thinker and I amvoting “yes” to the referendum ontransit infrastructure funding. It’sirrational to throw the baby out withthe bath water. Vote “yes” for the futureand not “no” due to TransLink’s pastsins – that would be irrational.

Surrey’s Halane family received anotherknock at their door, late Friday night.The last time police came calling,

in 2006, it was to tell them their belovedMahdi, 18, had just been shot in a drive-byshooting in Whalley.

Nine years later, Sgt. Mike Hall was againat their door, this time bearing news that anarrest had been made.

“I don’t think it’s fully sunk in yet,”Juweria Halane, Mahdi’s sister, told the Nowon Monday.

“It would have been better if Mahdi werehere to hear this.”

Fushpinder Singh Brar, 30, from Surrey ischarged with manslaughter in the Oct. 14,2006 shooting.

Brar was arrested in Vancouver on Friday.Insp. Manny Mann, of Surrey RCMP’sMajor Crime Section, said it was “a directresult of investigators following up on leadsand new information received, and we hopeit will bring some closure to the family.”

The Halane family was preparing to headover to Surrey provincial court Mondaymorning, after the Now’s press time, forBrar’s first court appearance.

Juweria said she was “very nervous” aboutseeing the suspect for the first time as herfamily had never heard of him until now.

She’s still in shock, she said, at how herbrother’s paralysis and ultimately his deathstemmed from something so “stupid, idiotic.”

Her brother was a tall, athletic young manwho loved basketball. Filled with life, he was apractical joker who easily made friends.

“He was just like a typical brother whoannoyed you when things went wrong andkind of was there to support you whenyou needed him too,” Juweria told the Nowthis past December, when the newspaperpublished an in-depth report on Mahdi’scase entitled, “A Surrey family’s dreamdestroyed.”

Sgt. Hall, in charge of Surrey RCMP’sUnsolved Homicides Unit, said Mondaythe Now’s story proved “very valuable to theinvestigation.”

“What it did was it made it (the crime)relevant again. It helped people remember.”

Hall has been on the case since the nightof the shooting and said police believe

Mahdi was an innocent victim.They also believe there are other people

who were either involved in the shootingor who have “very important” informationabout it, who have yet to speak with police.Hall can be reached at 604-599-7634.

Mahdi’s mom Safia and dad Osmanbrought their five children to Canada in1997, from war-torn Somalia, hoping for aprosperous future for them here.

The Queen Elizabeth Secondary grad wasout celebrating a friend’s birthday whenthey came across another group of friendswho’d been in a fight at the Chevron gasstation at 96th Avenue and 128th Street inCedar Hills.

Police say the fight started after a manfrom another group spat and some of his

spit hit the pant leg of one of Halane’sfriends.

Halane was down the street, in a differentcar, and had nothing to do with the gasstation incident. He apparently looked upfrom his front passenger seat, as bullets flewfrom a passing car, and was hit in the neck,severing his spinal cord and rendering himquadriplegic until he died of kidney failureon March 25, 2012, at the age of 24.

Osman Halane said his son hovered“between death and life for six years.”

“For six years he was paralyzed, and hedied,” Osman told the Now in December,contemplating the horror of his son’s fate.

“A lot of disaster we passed, andnightmare.”

Crime

Suspect in fatal shootingfaces judge nine years later

I’m looking at a broken man.

Osman Halane stands in hisdoorway, barefoot, dressed in ablack suit jacket and pants. He’s justreturned home from work, rain is

battering at his walls and it’s black outside.He looks at his wife and daughters, treads

across his carpet and sinks into a chair besideme.

I’ve sat in many living rooms over theyears, scribbling notes while the bereavedbare their unhealing wounds to me, astranger. Osman’s pain is formidable.Meeting his bloodshot eyes, I’m trying not totear up myself.

“I’m very sorry that tonight you will neversleep too,” he says, clasping his hands.“It’s anightmare, to be honest.”

We’re talking about his son, Mahdi.First, some background. With their

homeland embroiled in civil war, Osman,wife Safia and family emigrated from Somaliain 1997. He was a referee for the FederationInternationale de Football Association (FIFA)and some colleagues here in Canada werekind enough to sponsor them.

The Halane’s chose Canada for its relativepeace and settled in Surrey, hoping for aprosperous future for their five children.

Fast forward to 2006. Their son Mahdi, bynow 18, was a tall, athletic young man who

loved basketball. Filled with life, he was apractical joker who easily made friends.

“He was just like a typical brother whoannoyed you when things went wrong andkind of was there to support you when youneeded him too,” his sister Juweria recalled.

After Mahdi’s graduation from Whalley’sQueen Elizabeth secondary school in June2006, he worked at a call centre at thebottom of Peterson Hill and had planned tomake some cash to attend college.

Later that summer, his dad sent him toEurope for a graduation gift, and he touredEngland and Denmark for the next couple ofmonths before returning to Surrey.

With autumn came Ramadan and on Oct.13th Safia wanted Mahdi to dine at home,but he had already made plans to celebratea pal’s birthday at Boston Pizza. A friendpicked him up in his car and off they went.

After the clock struck midnight, Mahdicalled home to say he’d be another hour andhis friend would drop him off.

Roughly four hours later, a Mountie was atthe Halane’s door to tell them there had beena shooting and they needed to go to RoyalColumbian Hospital.

“We didn’t know what to expect,” Juweriarecalled. “We didn’t know whether he wasdead, alive, what was going to happen.”

At RCH they were led to a room where adoctor came to tell them Mahdi had beenshot, was in a coma and might die.

“My dad collapsed in the room. He justcouldn’t fathom the idea that his son, whowas just walking hours ago, is now in a coma,paralyzed, and possibly might not make it.”

“It was shock,” Osman explained.“When they told us, like four o’clock in themorning, something like that. We took ourcar and we went to the hospital, I fell down.I collapsed.

“From there, we suffered like you can’timagine. Six years, the young boy, he doesn’tmove, and he’s moving from the neck only.Six years. You can feel how hard, the life hepassed. He was in between death and life forsix years. Still, he’s our son; we have hope hebecomes, at least he’s moving his hand orhis leg or some of his body,” he says, rubbinghis hands.

“But unfortunately, it doesn’t happen theway that we want it to. For these six years,we were out of control. For the first year, Istopped the work that I was doing. I was sixmonths in a hospital.”

The rest of Mahdi’s life, and that ofhis family, was marked by soul-crushingsuffering and frustration.

“I think he was an innocent victim,” SurreyRCMP Sgt. Mike Hall said of Mahdi. “Hewasn’t involved in anything criminal.”

Hall is in charge of Surrey RCMP’sUnsolved Homicides Unit and has beeninvestigating this case since the night Mahdiwas shot.“Through the years I have spent

time with both Mahdi and his family andhave seen the impact that this senselessshooting has had on all of them,” Hall said.

“The persons responsible for the shootinglikely have no idea the destructive effect theiractions have had. Crimes like this, whereinnocent young people with their entire livesin front of them are subjected to unprovokedacts of deadly violence, are a priority for thepolice. Given the tragic circumstances of thisparticular case, the resolve of the police willnot waiver until the persons responsible forthis cowardly act are brought to justice.”

In truth, to describe the crime as “stupid”would be an insult to stupidity itself.

The events that led to Mahdi’s shootingtook place in the wee hours of Oct. 14th,2006 at and near the Chevron gas station at96th Avenue and 128th Street in Cedar Hills.

At 12:55 a.m. three of his buddies, allof them black, were waiting in line to buysomething at the gas station’s after-hourswindow when a blue Chrysler 300 pulled up.

An East Indian man got out of the car,and joined the queue. He spat at the ground,and some of his gob hit the pants of one ofMahdi’s buddies. Hall doesn’t believe it wasdeliberate. Words were exchanged. The EastIndian man called one of Mahdi’s buddiesa “nigger” and Mahdi’s buddy punched thespitter, thinking it inevitable that fists wouldfly anyway.

“It spiraled downward from there.”

SOUTH SURREY — Police were calledabout two suspected pipe bombs in SouthSurrey last week, first to a rural property andthen to a gas station.

On Tuesday (Jan. 20), a group of workersdemolishing a building on a rural propertyin the 18300-block of 24th Avenue found

something suspicious in a shed. Police say itappeared to have been there for some time.

The Explosive Demolition Unit was calledin and confirmed the device was a pipe bomb.Using a remote, they detonated the bomb onthe property.

Police say because it was a rural property,no one was evacuated.

Then, on Wednesday night, a suspectedpipe bomb was found at a Petro-Canada gasstation at 2692 152nd St.

Shortly before 8 p.m., staff called policesaying there was a suspicious item beside theservice station.

Police suspected it, too, was a pipe bomb.The gas station and surrounding area wasevacuated and a portion of King GeorgeBoulevard was shut down for about an hour.

“It was a metal pipe with noticeable wiressticking out of it,” said Cpl. Bert Paquet.

The Explosive Demolition Unit was calledin and, using a robot, confirmed it was not a

live bomb.Police want to know how the item ended

up there, and are calling for witnesses.The item has been seized for further

analysis, as well as for forensic examination.Paquet said it was alarming to find such

an item near a gas station.“If you find thisin an empty field, it’s a lot easier to control asafe perimeter. Next to a gas station on a busystreet is a big safety concern.”

INFORM


CLOVERDALE — HandyDART unionmembers rallied in the rain on Thursdayto show their support for a member whomthey claim was wrongfully fired.

Bob Chitrenky, president of Local 1724the amalgamated transit union, said thegroup was wearing pink anti-bullying T-shirts because dispatcher Kathy Dietrichfrom the union’s executive board was firedfor standing up to workplace harassment.

The alleged incident happened two weeksbefore Christmas after complaining tomanagement about a bullying incident.

Chitrenky said the employer, MVTransportation, a U.S. company based inDallas, cares more about profits than aboutthe people it employs and serves.

Union members also rallied to urgepeople in Metro Vancouver to vote “yes”in the upcoming transit plebiscite, whichwould increase payments to the service fordisabled riders.

The union also wants HandyDARTbrought into TransLink so that the moneyisn’t going toward a for-profit Americancontractor, which currently has a $39-million arrangement with TransLink.

“Where’s that money going? It’s not beingre-spent here,” Chitrenky said.

Beth McKellar, co-ordinator of theHandyDART Riders Alliance, saidsomething needs to be done to make

TransLink accountable for “every pennyit spends” and to ensure it goes to theappropriate places. She said the moneydoesn’t always have to go to the “sexy”projects like the Evergreen Line.

“Because we’re not getting any younger,the population is aging and it’s babyboomers like myself that – OK we still gotit together but we don’t move as well,” shesaid, adding HandyDART riders desperatelydepend on the service to maintain theirindependence and dignity.

Gary Brown, who makes use of awheelchair, came from Burnaby to show hissupport for Dietrich and the HandyDARTemployees.

He noted the service has slowlydeteriorated since he began using it in 2010with an increasing number of rides being

denied. Users of the service often have tobook a ride seven days in advance and aren’tguaranteed their trip will be approved.

“Even with calling seven days inadvance they try and put you on a wait listsometimes and you know they should beable to schedule that far,” he said.

According to the Riders’ Alliance, freedomof information requests show peoplewith disabilities and seniors were deniedHandyDART service over 42,000 times in2013, an eight-fold increase over four years.There were 5,075 HandyDART denials in2009 and 42,418 in 2013.

Transit referendum ballots will be mailedout to registered voters in Metro Vancouverstarting March 16 and must be returned byMay 29.

Surrey hostsClean Tech Expo

CITY CENTRE — Forty companiesfrom across Metro Vancouver willcome together at the new city hall for aone-day competition to earn the title ofGreater Vancouver’s Clean TechnologyChampion.

Dubbed the Clean Technology Expo& Championship, the pitch-basedcompetition is set for Jan. 28. It willbe judged by 12 prominent local andinternational clean technology investorsand buyers, with the winner receiving$10,000 from Vancity Credit Union.

The winner will also go home with atrophy worthy of the clean tech awarditself. The prize, a 34-inch oak andstainless steel tower trophy, is sourcedlocally and designed to be entirelybiodegradable and recyclable.

A team of students and faculty fromKwantlen Polytechnic University’s(KPU) product design program hasbeen drawing up the trophy since mid-November, and putting in extra hours topresent the award.

Stephen De Gouveia, a second-yearKPU student and Cloverdale residentwho worked on the project, said thetrophy is built to last 10 years.

“After those 10 years, we don’t know,but we made it so that if they wanted torecycle it, no materials are attached toeach other so if you wanted to recycle it,you could take each material separatelyand get recycled cleanly,” he explained.

More than 500 people are expected totake part in the expo, set to run Jan. 28from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at city hall, locatedat 13450 104th Ave.

The following story was written by Bob Hall,community liaison for Selkirk College, in Nelson

CASTLEGAR — Selkirk Saints defencemanStefan Gonzales celebrated his greatest hockeytriumph last March when he helped histeam to its second straight British ColumbiaIntercollegiate Hockey League (BCIHL) titleat the Castlegar Recreation Complex.

The bumps and bruises from the season-ending highlight moment were well earned,but the opponents Gonzales faced on the icewere nothing compared to the battles he facedin the classroom after returning to schoolafter a four-year absence.

“I barely survived the first semester,”recalled Gonzales.“I never really had greatstudy habits in high school; I got good gradesby just showing up to class. I was lucky in thatsense, but it didn’t really prepare me for theamount of work I would have to do comingback to school.”

Gonzales played junior hockey for fourseasons before arriving at Selkirk Collegefor the start of the 2013-2014 school term.Forgoing any college courses after high schoolto concentrate on hockey, and two monthsinto his first semester at Selkirk, Gonzales hadfailed a midterm and was struggling in therole of student athlete.

“After four years of just playing hockeyand hanging out with your buddies watchingNetflix and playing video games, there wasn’ta lot of studying going on then,” he says.“Coming back, it was a steep learning curvefor the first couple of months. It was muchharder than I anticipated.”

Gonzales grew up in Surrey and found apassion for hockey at an early age. When hewas 12, the prestigious North Shore WinterClub recruited him to play at its NorthVancouver facility. In pee wee and bantamhockey, he was teammates with the likes ofNHL’s Evander Kane (Winnipeg Jets), StefanElliott (Colorado Avalanche) and MartinJones (Los Angeles Kings).

By age 17, Gonzales was a highly toutedprospect and went to play in Tier II Juniorwith the British Columbia Hockey League’sBurnaby Express.

“I wanted an NCAA scholarship andthat was my main focus,” Gonzales said.“I was drafted into the Western HockeyLeague (WHL), but my goal was to combineeducation and school, so I took that pathway.”

Gonzales played three full seasons in theBCHL with Burnaby, Quesnel, Chilliwack andVictoria. The success Gonzales experiencedwith the North Shore Winter Club in minorhockey was not mirrored during thoseseasons where he played on teams thatstruggled to get wins.

In his final season of junior, he was tradedto a team in Ontario; when Gonzales decidedhe didn’t want to make the trip across thecountry, he opted to play Junior B withAldergrove Kodiaks. It was a difficult choice

– one that put an end to his dream of playinghockey on a scholarship in the United States.

“When it’s the goal for so long and you areso focused on it, when that doesn’t turn out,it’s disheartening and you have to re-evaluatewhat you’re doing,” Gonzales said.

Determined to make the most of it,Gonzales had a tremendous season withAldergrove. He led all Pacific Junior HockeyLeague defenceman in scoring and helped histeam to the championship final.

Along the way, Gonzales was recruited byformer Selkirk Saints coach Jeff Dubois, whohad built a powerhouse program in Castlegarthat saw the team post a 21-3 regular-season record and capture its first BCIHLChampionship in 2013.

“I hadn’t gone to school for a few years andI was sold on the small school experience,”says Gonzales.“I felt like that would be a goodadjustment period to get back into the swing

of academics.”Gonzales enrolled in the Business

Administration Program and, on the firstday of class, was a 21-year-old freshman whohadn’t cracked a textbook since graduatingfrom Grade 12.

Though Gonzales and his teammates tookpart in the College Success Workshop withSelkirk College’s Learning Skills co-ordinatorTodd Solarik, he quickly felt overwhelmed.

“I was excited to be going back to school,”Gonzales said.“But when things started toget stressful, hockey was the comfort zone, soI focused even more on hockey. When youare so stressed out with school, you are nothaving as much fun at the rink because youare thinking about school. Instead of trying tofix it, it’s easy to ignore it and then that onlymakes it worse.”

Rather than give up, Gonzales battledthrough the first semester. When the secondsemester started in January, he took a deepbreath and paid another visit to Solarik wherehe sought help through Student SupportServices. It was there that Gonzales foundtutors and counsellors that helped himchannel his energy.

Now midway through his final year of theBusiness Administration Program, Gonzalesis a star student and one of the key Saints’leaders, both on and off the ice.

Gonzales plans to continue withhis education and hockey career oncehe graduates in April. With BusinessAdministration transfer agreements in placewith a number of different institutions inB.C. and Alberta, Gonzales has set his sightson putting in two more years and earning adegree.

“The transitioning from four years of notreally using the academic side of your brainand not learning away from the rink, SelkirkCollege has been a great place to make thattransition,” he said.

NORTH DELTA — InJanuary, when most youngathletes are in the middleof hockey, soccer orbasketball season, NorthDelta Baseball Associationis giving its players a chanceto start the season early.

The association hasrented the gym at SandsSecondary for winter clinicsfor all youth players fromblastball (ages five andunder) to midget (18 andunder).

Tim Fehr, director ofcoaching for NDBA, saidthe training sessions, whichbegan in the middle ofJanuary, are about givingthe players a leg up beforethey try out for a team.

“They’ve all been playingsoccer and hockey allwinter. Spring is comingand we start to do ourevaluations and tryouts inlate February and March,”Fehr said.

Other local baseballassociations are hostingsimilar pre-season clinics.

“It gives the kids anopportunity to come out,get some swings in, takesome ground balls, startthrowing so when we do theevaluations and the tryouts,they’re not fresh out ofwinter,” said Fehr, a formerPacific International Leagueplayer and coach.

In North Delta, the 21spots available for the

combined peewee andbantam session were filledvery quickly, he noted.

“This is a pretty regularthing for North Delta,” Fehrsaid. “This year was reallygood. We sold out reallyearly.

“We’re going to dopitching, we’re going todo hitting and we’ll dosome fielding drills. We’vebrought out coaches fromthe association,” he added.

With practices limitedto a gym or other indoorfacilities, Fehr said he catersthe drills to the amount ofgiven space.

“One of the things I’vetalked to the instructorsabout … is that we willbe limited to what wecan do,” said Fehr. “We’vedesigned the drills and ourexpectations around whatwe can do inside.”

Rather than doing “livehitting,” he has the playershitting in front of a screenso they can work on theirtechnique and battingstance.

With the association’snumbers cut in half toapproximately 450 kids,league managers have todo different things like thewinter clinics to attract andretain kids, Fehr said.

“One of our philosophieson retaining them isto give them good skilldevelopment to show thevalue to the parents,” heexplained. “When theysign their kid up for NorthDelta, they’re going toget good coaching, thekid is going to get a goodexperience, he’s going toenjoy himself and he’s goingto get something out of it.”

DEBATE

The general consensus seems to bethat the “Yes” side in the upcomingtransit plebiscite is the one fighting

from behind, and has the much biggerproverbial boulder to push up the hill inthis debate.

The “No” side, led by Jordan Batemanof the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, haspretty much had the floor to itself sincethe Christmas break. He’s been all over themedia, blasting TransLink for all kinds ofreasons and sowing the seeds of mistrustand suspicion with prospective plebiscitevoters.

But the “Yes” side can, miracle ofmiracles, pull off an upset victory if it canaccomplish a number of tasks. It will bedifficult, but it can be done. So, free ofcharge, I offer some advice on how to getthe job done:

TURN THE CHANNELAs in, stop talking about TransLink

(arguably the most unpopularorganization in B.C.) and starthammering home talk about specifictransit improvements. Bateman’s modusoperandi has been to mention TransLink– and all its miscues, woeful tales ofwaste, bloated executive salaries, SkyTrainbreakdowns etc. – in pretty well every oneof his public utterances.

Bateman is trying, understandably, tomake the plebiscite a vote on TransLink’sperformance. It’s nothing of the sort ,of course, but I don’t blame Batemanfor pushing that argument. After all,TransLink is the weakest link in the “Yes”side’s chain, so why not try to exploit that?

However, if people start hearing moreand more about rapid transit lines inSurrey, more buses and a new PattulloBridge, that may get their aggravatedminds (which come from being stuck intraffic) off of thinking of ways to punishTransLink and back onto how best to getout of their daily traffic nightmare.

ROTATE YOUR SPOKESPEOPLEOne of Bateman’s strengths is that he

is good at obtaining media coverage. Butover the course of the next few months,he may well turn into a liability for the“No” side because folks may simplybecome tired of seeing and hearing fromhim – and only him, on the “No” side– incessantly.

But the “Yes” side has a bunch ofmayors who just won re-election, whichpresumably means they are held in goodregard by the people they are now goingback to for support in another vote.

So, why not rotate folks like VancouverMayor Gregor Robertson, Surrey MayorLinda Hepner, Port Coquitlam MayorGreg Moore and a few others when itcomes to shaping the public face of the“Yes” side?

PUSH PAST THE LEADERSAND GET TO THE MASSES

In other words, simply getting thesupport of the heads of the 70-plusorganizations that make up the “Yes”side coalition is not enough. Gettingthe support of the members of thoseorganizations is much more a key to anysuccess.

This is the classic problem perenniallyfaced by the NDP during elections.Organized labour strongly endorses theNDP, and then watches as members oftheir own unions vote for another party.

For the “Yes” side to win, it needs thoseorganizations to deliver the votes of theirmembers – not just passing motions ofsupport at monthly meetings.

A key player here may not be organizedlabour so much as the environmentalmovement, which backs the “Yes” side.

I suspect environmentalists willfind it much easier to motivate theirorganizations’ members than organizedlabour has in past votes.

TIME AND ORGANIZATIONALINFRASTRUCTURE ON YOUR SIDE

The plebiscite ballots will start beingmailed out in mid-March, and the ballotscan be mailed back to Elections BC aslate as May 29. That’s a generous 10-weekperiod, which kind of turns things into a10-week long Election Day, as each sidetries to GOTV (Get Out The Vote) everyday during that period.

To get that vote out, presumably the“Yes” coalition will be able to tap into itsmember organizations for volunteers tohelp to participate in mail-out, phonebanks and the like (again, I presumeElections BC will allow this, although younever know).

I’m not sure the “No” Side, which seemsto consist of the one-man band Bateman,can compete when it comes to that kind oforganization.

However, Bateman may end up not evenneeding much organization.

There is still a feeling of “I-pay-too-much” already out there, and perhapsno amount of planning and reasonedarguments will overcome that.

We’ll know in June, when the results arerevealed.

Keys to ‘Yes’ victory

Your letters

The Editor,Re: “Hydro project reaches milestone, but

farmer says it’s a ‘nightmare,’” Now, Jan. 20.I read with interest Adrian MacNair’s

article concerning the BC Hydro substationdevelopment in Fleetwood.

I appreciate that it is important tobe ahead of the game when it comes toproviding power for the future and it isdifficult to take on a project of this sizewithout upsetting locals.

There is, however, a wider issue. Should a30 per cent increase in population in Surreyover the next 10 years override just abouteverything else? In a headlong rush to fillthe Lower Mainland with people, are otherfactors being ignored?

A neighbour told me that he had a 10-hour wait in an emergency room recentlyand we all notice that traffic is increasinglydifficult in urban and city areas duringrush hour. The point is, that while Surreyadministrators build an empire off of theback of development, other things suffer.Infrastructure does not keep pace and thequality of life of every resident is steadilyreduced.

The loss of natural environment in ourarea is of particular concern. I am notmuch interested in self-publicity, but felt itnecessary to start a blog about the plight ofour local eagles nest. Enormous pressure hasbeen put upon Surrey Lake Park next to theHydro development, and I thought that thisshould not pass without comment.

Recently, your paper reported that Surreyhas lost 20 per cent of its tree canopy overthe last 10 years. The ease with whichagricultural land is rezoned for developmentis extraordinary and the carting awayof valuable top soil, with the return of apoorer quality replacement after the build iscompleted, is depressing.

The Lower Mainland is an essentialagricultural zone and if in future food is inshort supply and cannot easily be imported,it seems unwise to be adding to the problemby increasing population and building overfertile farmland.

Above all else, there is a pretence thatSurrey has some far-reaching overallconservation policy and maybe it does on

paper, but in reality it appears to be non-existent.

The number of plants and animalsand their diversity is a measure of anyconservation policy and there can be noquestion that wildlife in the Surrey area is insteep decline.

When a developing country behaves inthis way we show concern – so, why is itacceptable in the Lower Mainland, whichis part of a country renowned and highlyregarded elsewhere for its natural beauty?

Stephen Bolwell, Surrey

Transit vote provesleaders incompetentThe Editor,

Re: “Not all can afford to vote ‘yes’ to tax,”the Now editorial, Jan. 20.

I will be voting “no” on the MetroVancouver Congestion Improvement Taxreferendum and encourage everyone to takethe same position. It is not because it is anunworthy cause. It is certainly worthy. Yet,so are many other causes. Education, healthcare, policing, homelessness, poverty, childabuse and aging infrastructure all comequickly to mind.

Is the concept of specific taxes for specificcauses the direction we are going?

Will the popularity or visibility of a causedetermine its success? Will the generalrevenue fund be available for whimsy oncethe funding pressures are provided byspecific tax measures?

We elect leaders with the expectationthat they will lead. They are to carefullyconsider the issues, make the difficultdecisions and stand by the reasoning behindthose decisions. They hire competentprofessionals to advise them on the issues.

At least that is the way I thought thesystem was supposed to work.

I oppose this referendum based on theabdication of leadership and the direction ofcreating specific taxes for specific purposes.

SOUTH SURREY — A Burnaby manhas been fined $25,000 for trying to bringnearly 13 tonnes of unreported cheeseacross the South Surrey border.

Manuel De Oliveira, owner of BeiraMar Importers Company Ltd., pled guiltyin December to evading duty paymentsand importing dairy products withoutdeclaring them to border officials.

According to court documents, DeOliveira imported 737 shipments ofgoods into Canada between Jan. 1, 2005and Jan. 16, 2010. Of those shipments,each contained between 917 and 4,300kilograms of cheese. The total amountimported but not reported is 12,899kilograms, with an estimated value of$132,539.90 in U.S. currency.

Two of those shipments were interceptedat Pacific Highway Crossing in Surrey.Both were reported as containing onlygrapes or grape juice, but the CanadaBorder Services Agency (CBSA) foundcheese in those shipments. There wasa monetary penalty levied against DeOliveira’s company, Beira Mar, and in 2008he was assessed a $7,625 fine, equivalent to20 percent of the value not declared.

Cheese may be imported to Canada, butit is subject to a quota system administeredby an arm of the Department of ForeignAffairs under the Canada Agricultural

Products Act. Imports above the allowablequota are subject to a 245.5 per cent rateof duty in order to protect Canada’s dairysupply management system.

“At the time Mr. De Oliveira committedthese offences, he was voluntarilyparticipating in a system to protect theCanadian cheese industry and, by floutingit, he unfairly competed with people whofollowed the rules,” the judgment states.“He also removed the ability of healthinspectors to ensure the cheese he wasimporting met health standards.”

Crown prosecutors pointed out that DeOliveira’s total evaded duty is calculatedat $461,971.65. The maximum penaltyunder the Canada Agriculture ProductsAct for an indictable offence is a fineof $250,000 or up to two years in jail,or both. Under the Customs Act, thosemaximum penalties rise to $500,000 orfive years in jail.

According to the judgment, Oliveira wasseveral days into a 20-day trial when heentered guilty pleas to the two counts.

The case was highlighted on Friday bythe CBSA to warn travellers of the risks offailing to declare food, plants or animalproducts.

The agency also issued a reminder thata Jan. 8 ban remains in effect on all birds,raw poultry and poultry by-productsthat are not fully cooked, including raweggs and raw pet food for products fromOregon and Washington state.
