Thurs Dec 22 2011 Leader

by Kevin Diakiw

TAX BILLS ARE expected to jump by at least $90 next year for the average home in Surrey if the budget is adopted as planned next month.

Coun. Tom Gill, who chairs the city’s fi nance committee, is calling for a “status quo” budget in keeping with the 2011 fi ve-year plan.

It means a 2.9 per cent tax increase ($38 on the average home worth $575,000) and a one per cent road levy ($13.50). Staff say that water and sewer services will see similar increases to last year, meaning hikes of $27 for water and $13 for sewer. Th ere’s an expected increase for waste disposal, but that won’t be known yet.

In all, it means the total bill for the average Surrey home will go from $2,731 to at least $2,820.

Of that, $1,400 is solely property tax, with the remainder a com-bination of utilities and other fees. Th e city points out it’s still one of the lowest tax rates in the region.

Surrey is also expected to hire eight more fi refi ghters next year. And while the 2010 fi ve year operating plan called for no new police offi cers next year, Surrey First promised 10 more in each of the next three years. Th ey are planned for next year’s budget.

About half of next year’s increase comes by way of utility costs, including water, sewer and waste disposal, which are largely driven by

rates set by Metro Vancouver and third-party contracts.Surrey just signed a contract with BFI for the city’s curbside

waste pickup, and Gill is in the throes of fi guring out how that will impact residential rates. One of the undetermined factors is whether the city will spend $1.5 million over 10 years on new waste containers or pay for all of them up front.

Until such details are known, it’s hard to say exactly how next year’s garbage hauling costs will aff ect individual tax bills.

Th e road levy – due to expire last year – will continue until 2015. Th e initial purpose for the levy was for work on local side roads. It will now help pay for improvements on major arterials, such as King George Boulevard and Fraser Highway.

Th e city’s fi nance committee is expected to consider the 2012 budget on Jan. 16.

It’s in him to give – again and again

Councillors to head all committeesby Kevin Diakiw

SURREY CITY COUNCIL has appointed councillors as chair of each of the city’s select committees – a move which some believe will quell any opposing voice to council’s objectives.

On Dec. 12, Surrey council held a closed door meeting where it was decided that councillors would chair each of the city’s committees.

Th at had already been the case in most committees, with the exception of the Agricultural Advisory Com-mittee (AAC) and the Environmental Advisory Commit-tee (EAC).

Th e EAC had publicly criticized council policies more than once.

On one occasion, committee chair Al Schultze appeared before council calling Surrey a “laggard, not a leader” in the banning of cosmetic use of pesticides.

More recently, the committee asked for, and was denied, an audience before council regarding Grandview 4 development plans which the committee feared would damage valuable habitat.

Committees agree having a council member as chair will be a change, but they’re reserving judgement as to whether it will be better or worse.

Outgoing chair of the AAC Michael Bose said it’s going to be strange, aft er 16 years as chair, to sit on the committee as a regular member.

He’s been told that council is making councillors chairs because it wants “consistency” amongst commit-

tees.Bose says he understands what council is trying to

achieve, but notes there will be hurdles.“It’s going to be interesting to see how it goes,” said

Bose, adding that keeping the committee motivated will be a challenge. “It’s actually a lot of work to make sure there are new and fresh challenges for the committee.”

Schultze said he received a memo from the city clerk saying council has decided to appoint a councillor to chair his committee. Schultze said his term as chair was coming up, so it makes no diff erence to him.

“I have no idea whether they want to have more control over their committees or what, I don’t know,” Schultze said. “It’s something to be determined.”

SANTA’S GOING TO have one Surrey man on his nice list for sure this year.

Last Saturday morning, eight days before Christmas, John Bullock donated blood for the 100th time.

Bullock, 47, been donating since his early 20s.“He just crawls

himself out of bed and makes his way over here every 56 days,” said wife Sue, who, with the family’s three sons, surprised John with red balloons and cake at the Canadian Blood Services clinic.

He made his fi rst donation at a Canadian Red Cross mobile clinic at the Guildford Library.

He continued, he says, because “I just thought it was the right thing to do.”

During each visit, he makes an appointment for the next one eight weeks in advance.

“I don’t have a lot of money for charity, so this is my charity. And I know that 100 per cent of what I do is going to the charity.”

Blood isn’t the only thing Bullock had donated.On Nov. 2, 1010, aft er being found a rare match, Bull-

ock made a bone marrow stem cell donation – in a new non-invasive procedure – to a cancer patient in Eastern Canada.

He had been on the bone marrow donor list for 17 years.Donations of blood are especially needed during the

holidays. One donation can save up to three lives.Th e Surrey Blood Donor Clinic is located at #10, 6830

King George Blvd. Appointments to donate blood can be made by calling 1-888-2-DONATE (1-888-236-6283) or online at www.blood.ca

DRIVERS HAVE no doubt noticed a few additional changes around Highway 1 access and exit points in Surrey lately.

New traffi c patterns at the 176 Street interchange took eff ect last week, shift ing vehicles to the new 176 Street overpass. As well, there are detours and lane closures at Highway 1 and 160 Street, scheduled between midnight and 4 a.m.

Th e changes are all related to the ongoing Port Mann Bridge/Highway 1 improvement project, which will eventu-ally mean a new, 10-lane Port Mann Bridge, among other upgrades.

Th e entire project, which spans about

37 kilometres – from McGill Street in Vancouver to 216 Street in Langley – includes the construction of the new bridge, widening the highway, upgrading interchanges, and improving access and safety on Highway 1.

Construction began in March 2009, but the planning began years earlier, according to project spokeswoman Pam Ryan.

“In 2003, when we fi rst started plan-ning, congestion (on Highway 1 and the Port Mann Bridge) was already at 13 hours a day, by our estimate,” she said.

Ryan said ongoing improvements – scheduled to be completed by the end of 2013 – will help reduce congestion-related idling, lower costs for truckers and goods

movers, and give people on the road fl ex-ibility and options so that one car accident won’t jam up the entire regional transpor-tation corridor.

“People will be able to save up to an hour a day,” Ryan said.

Th e new bridge is scheduled to open in winter of 2012-2013, likely December, she noted, and all is proceeding on schedule and on budget – $3.3 billion for the total project cost and $2.46 billion for the design-build contract.

Even though the bridge will initially open with eight lanes (four in each direc-tion), Ryan said “that basically doubles

Bose: ‘It’s a really, really bad idea’

Bridge: 800,000 vehicles per week

From page 3

Former councillor Bob Bose was the council representative on the EAC, but at the time refused to sit as chair, for fear his infl uence would dominate the committee in an unhealthy way.

He said it’s worrisome when a civic slate that has a monopoly on council, now has complete control of all its committees.

“It’s a really, really bad idea,” Bose said. “What I call the care and feeding of committees, demands that those committees be independent and feel free to off er their advice to council, whether council likes it or not.”

Acting Mayor Linda Hepner said she can’t recall discussion around making councillors chair of

committees and she didn’t know she had been made chair of the AAG (now known as the Agriculture and Food Security Advi-sory Committee).

She said having councillors as chair has defi nite benefi ts.

“Being chair of the committee allows you to be fairly active with the administra-tion at all times,” Hepner said Wednesday. “I don’t think that quells the importance of the committee members’ participation.”

Bose said having councillors at the reigns of all committees is a disquieting thought. Th e select committee is there to give unbuff ered input, whether council wants to hear it or not.

“When I go to a doctor, who only tells me what I want to hear, what’s the point of that?” Bose asked.

capacity on opening day.”Tolling systems will be operat-

ing on the new bridge, charging about $3 per car (larger vehicles will pay more) on opening day, but the province and TransLink are working together to have the Highway 1 Rapid Bus service in place on opening day as well. Th at service is a joint initiative between the provincial govern-ment and TransLink and will provide services from Langley (at the new 202 Street park and ride/transit exchange) to Burnaby in 25 minutes.

Seven Highway 1 overpasses are currently being widened in Burnaby and Vancouver, while

nine are being replaced, including 152, 160 and 176 Streets in Surrey. At the Cape Horn interchange, 15 new overpasses and underpasses are being built or rebuilt.

“Th ings are going very well on the Surrey side (of the bridge),” Ryan said. “We passed the 50-per-cent complete mark in August, despite the wet summer.”

Special-purpose highway ramps (HOV/transit ramps, trucks-only ramps) are being included at fi ve locations: Grandview Highway, Government Street, 202 Street, United Boulevard and 156 Street.

A new eastbound ramp is underway at 160 Street, while the Barnston Drive overpass should be open for public use this month or in January. Drivers should

expect changes exiting the Port Mann Bridge onto 152 Street in the new year, Ryan said, as crews remove the old overpass and build a new ramp.

So far, motorists have been understanding about the con-struction and why it is needed, she said. Th e current bridge was built in the early 1960s when the population of Metro Vancouver was 800,000. Today, the bridge serves more than 800,000 vehicles in a single week.

“We understand a lot of people really want the project to be com-pleted,” Ryan said.

She encouraged residents to visit the project website (www.pmh1project.com) for updates.

THE PARTY THAT got all but annihi-lated in the last election is mapping out what steps it needs to take for the next one.

“We had a post-election meeting, and from that we’ve established the posi-tives and negatives of the campaign,” Surrey Civic Coali-tion (SCC) President Gord Savard told Th e Leader.

One of the things the party believes it could have been done better was running a mayoral candidate in the election.

Th at said, much of the decision not to had to do with the popularity of the current mayor.

“It was Dianne Watts, Dianne Watts,” said Savard. “In our analysis to this point, we couldn’t get past the point she had 80-per-cent popularity, and the people that were with her

were chosen because of that.”

Th e SCC will be running candidates in the next election, he said, adding it’s not easy to tell when that election will be held.

Many believe Dianne Watts and possibly some coun-cillors will be cherry-picked by provincial parties to run in the 2013 election.

“Possibly we’ll be looking at a byelection in 18 months,” Savard said.

OPINION

It’s Christmas again, and time for Santa to hand out presents to Surrey, Delta and White Rock

residents. As usual, Santa isn’t forgetting the well-known members of the community. He believes in equality.

He confi ded some of his plans to me again. Here’s what he plans to give to people we read and hear about over the year.

To South Surrey MP Russ Hiebert, he will give a return airline ticket to somewhere other than Ottawa. Th e MP, who was soundly criticized for his travel spending in the past, has reduced it drastically (by over $120,000). Th is makes Santa (and other tax-payers) happy.

To Fleetwood MP Nina Gre-wal, he is giving several large recycling bins. Santa wants her to put many of the “10 per cen-ter” partisan fl yers she sends out straight in the bins, as few people bother to read them. Th e pamphlets have boosted Grewal’s expenses, and Santa wants to give her a poignant reminder to cut them back.

Cloverdale MLA Kevin Falcon, who has a more beetled brow these days as the province’s fi nance minister, is getting a copy of QuickBooks, to help him sort through the myriad challenges of provincial fi nances. He’s also giving him an unlimited supply of calculator batteries.

To Whalley NDP MLA Bruce Ralston, Santa is giving a slightly used pair of shoes. In 2013, he may need new ones if his party wins and he takes over Falcon’s old job.

Santa hasn’t forgotten the people in university politics. At the top of his list are the directors of the Kwantlen Student Association. He is giving all of them a large number of new textbooks, to keep them busy at their studies in the coming year.

New White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin, a fi rm believer in the status quo, is getting a large Lego set.

In case he needs to, he can erect a wall between Sur-rey and White Rock and prevent further suggestions of co-operation between the two cities (and savings for taxpayers).

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson, safely back in offi ce aft er fending off three challeng-ers in the election, gets a footstool. She can put her feet up, if only occasionally, now that she is no longer the chair of the Metro Vancou-ver board as well.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts has so many gift s under her tree, Santa wasn’t

sure he needed to add to the pile. How-ever, he’s on giving her a Tim Hortons gift card, to allow her to fuel up during her travels.

Former mayor and councillor Bob Bose isn’t being forgotten by Santa, even though many Surrey voters deserted him at the polls last month. He will get a set of bicycle tires, as he will undoubtedly be burning through them even faster on his many bike trips.

For beleaguered Sur-rey drivers, who face the prospect of a TransLink tax increase of two cents per litre on fuel in the new year, Santa plans to drop plenty of pennies along their daily paths throughout the year.

Santa is working really hard on designing a gift for the Port Mann Bridge toll collectors who will take up their posts sometime late in 2012. He’s thinking of having his elves design a good-looking toll collection soft ware system that ends up with inexplicable prob-lems once tolls are in eff ect. He has also refused to pay any tolls as his sleigh fi les over the bridge, this year or any other year.

A Merry Christmas to all, and may the peace and goodwill that so many express in this season remain in eff ect into the new year.

Do you support a lower expense limit on the amount Members of Parliament can claim?

Here’s how you responded: Yes 95% No 5%

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:

I’ve been out picking up toys and handing out toys this month.

Most of the schools, banks and individ-ual businesses collect toys for the Christ-

mas bureau and we are more than willing to get them, bring them in, sort them by age groups and make sure they go to deserving homes.

We have some dedicated volunteer drivers to do most of the toy retrieval, but once in a while, just as I start to tell jokes, one of the ladies will hand me a piece of paper and send me off on a pick-up. Coincidence, I guess.

But I don’t mind, because driving around with a truckload of toys for hundreds of boys and girls is as close to being Santa as you can get. I guess you could say I do it because it’s a ‘clause’ in my contract.

We have a tradition with a couple of schools in the city that involves some of our volunteers going to the classroom to talk about the Langley Christmas Bureau and explain our programs to the kids. Our people explain that the toys the kids have brought are going to less fortunate families that otherwise wouldn’t have toys under the tree Christmas morning.

We feel it is important to show even the youngest in our community that they can make a diff erence in someone’s life.

As the kids bring their toy up to the box, they are asked to tell us what age group they have bought for and a sticky note goes on the toy for sorting.

It is a rewarding experience for all, but this year the ladies came back with watery eyes as they related an experience during the session at the school.

A Grade 1 boy, about six years old, came up

with a small toque. He handed it over and said, “I think this will be good for a baby.” Th en he rummaged around in his pocket, pulled out a small shiny marble, handed it over and said, “And I think this would be good for a boy about my age.”

I think he had been listening, and there behind all the trappings and trimmings of the season, the noise and lights, the hustle and bustle, he found something that meant the world to him, and he gave it away.

I do believe that’s how this all started many centuries ago.

If I asked you to stop reading for a minute and think about the best Christmas gift that you ever received, even you may be sur-prised what pops into your mind. I also bet it won’t be the most expen-sive gift you ever received either.

I remember getting a Visible V-8 Engine model one year. Once assembled and hooked up to bat-teries, you could see valves and pistons moving and spark plugs light up.

But what made it special is that my Dad worked on that model with me, explaining the mechanics as we went along.

He was a busy man with a big family, a job and a farm, but for a while, we worked together on that model and I got some of his time. I knew how precious that time was to him.

How many precious marbles do you have in your marble bag and how many are you willing to part with?

Put a little thought into your gift giving; make them gift s people will remember for years.

quite

frankly


I HAVE TO agree with Danna Casto (“Trashed Surrey detailed on blog,” Th e Leader, Dec. 20).

Th ey state of North Surrey is bad, and get-ting worse.

I have lived in Surrey since 2006, and seen a dramatic increase in trash littered along the side of the road.

Not just trash, but furni-ture of all kinds. It’s really quite sad.

We are told that Dianne Watts is trying to clean up Whalley, which is great, and I am seeing good things all the time, but shouldn’t part of the “clean up” include trash?

I really think that coun-cil should seriously consider bringing back spring cleanup to all of Surrey, not just North Delta.

I think that people would normally store all their junk

in the basement, garage or shed over the year, then haul it out to the curb for cleanup. Well now, I think there is a bit of frustration.

Th ey know it won’t be picked up so they are either too lazy or can’t aff ord to take a load to the dump, so what do they do?

Th ey go dump it on the side of the road, knowing that eventually the city will come get it.

Th e city spent $830,000 to clean up illegal dumping. How much more could the spring clean collection be?

Jenni Stevens, Surrey

I CANNOT AGREE more with Sabrina Hingston (Letters, Dec 15.)

Not just senior pedestrians, but rather all pedestrian should not jaywalk at all.

It is especially dangerous in the winter months and it makes it worst if they are wearing dark clothes.

I am a transit bus driver and I see people putting their own lives at risk of being hit by motorist by not wearing bright clothing.

Luckily, transit operators are well-trained and we had averted many accidents.

Because we are well-trained also means that we don’t slam on the brakes at the last instant as we approach a bus stop.

If you are waiting for the bus wearing dark clothing and keeping as still as a pole, we simply cannot see you and if we miss you, you may learn that bus driv-ers are not equipped with night-vision goggles to look out for you.

Enjoy the rest of the winter season, be visible and stay safe.

Sam G.J. Teo, Surrey

MPs just spend

and wasteREGARDING THE Dec. 15 article “Surrey MP third-highest spender in B.C.”:

Nina Grewal says leafl ets are to blame.

My daughter received three separate invitations for a Christ-mas open house.

All were postmarked Dec. 1 within nine minutes of each other.

If Nina knows this is happening maybe someone should be check-ing this out instead of wasting our tax dollars. Do we not pay them to do their job correctly?

J. HubbardSurrey

The season of giving(to MPs)

ARE WE FORTUNATE to have local politicians like MPs Nina Grewal and Russ Hiebert representing us in Ottawa?

Two years ago, Russ Hiebert helped the taxpayer give, by receiv-ing the largest MP expense account in B.C.

Th is year is Nina Grewal’s turn to be number three.

Understanding the meaning of the saying “it is more blessed to give than to receive” is special at this time of year.

Th anks to both of you for creating the opportunity for each citizen to give.

Andrew Block, Delta

Use your own money, Nina, not mine

CONCERNING MPS’ expenses, it would be much easier to determine if an MP was stepping over the line in their spending if we had a breakdown of their common expenses.

Nina Grewal may live in Western Canada, but it is hard to believe that the $110,626 she spent, more than the average Canadian MP, is because of travel.

I would also feel much better if the ad she placed of her Christmas wish on page 13 of the Leader came out of her personal bank account and not mine.

John White, Surrey

I RECENTLY READ a lot of letters complain-ing about the colorful Christmas lights on 72 Avenue in the Newton area.

It’s always good to keep an open mind.Th e person who chose these lights may have

liked the colors and thought that they were something diff erent from the traditional Christ-mas colors such as red and green.

Rather then complaining and making

assumptions that this is a cultural issue, maybe we should take into consideration that people have diff erent choices.

To some, this may be tacky; to others it is beautiful. It’s always good to have diversity.

Has anyone thought about taking time to write about the beautiful lights on King George Boulevard around the Whalley/Guildford area?

Maybe we can all stop complaining and

appreciate what we have rather than going on about what we don’t.

Th ere are people out there without homes and food this Christmas, so we need to all be very thankful for what we have.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone.

CHRISTMAS IS one of my favorite times of the year.

No, not because of the big red man who gives children their toys, but because of our saviour’s birth.

Today, the main excitement for Christmas is Santa Claus.

Not that I don’t like Santa, I do. I just want everyone to know that there is a deeper meaning. Being Catholic, I was raised to respect myreligion and Jesus.

Christmas is also a time for spending with family and appreci-ating what you have.

In my opinion, I don’t agree with the advertisements wishing people “Happy Holidays”. I can say that during summer break. It is a holiday isn’t it?

You wish people for Diwali, Vaisakhi and Chinese New Year. If Canada is so multicultural, why are people afraid to say “Merry Christmas”?

Hopefully families will open their eyes and understand the true meaning of Christmas.

I hope you have a wonderful and safe Christmas.

THANKS TO two com-plete strangers, my hus-band is alive and with us this Christmas.

On Saturday, my hus-band suff ered a stroke while shopping at Guild-ford Town Centre.

Two people came to his aid out in the parking lot while he stumbled around on the ground trying to fi gure out why

he couldn’t stand up. A lot of people would

have just turned a blind eye and made a com-ment about another “bum”.

Th ese two people came to his assistance and saved his life by calling an ambulance immediately.

He is in hospital and doing well.

A big thank-you to you both from all our family.

Th anks for caring and Merry Christmas.

FEDERAL offi cials in charge of fi sh disease testing are denying they deliberately set out to quash claims that a dan-gerous salmon virus has been detected this fall in wild Pacifi c stocks.

Th e Cohen Commis-sion into the decline of Fraser River sockeye salmon heard new evidence Friday (Dec. 16) that critics say sug-gests federal agencies were willing to suppress

the truth about risks to salmon to protect industry and trade.

One email entered in evidence came from a B.C. manager of the Canadian Food Inspec-tion Agency (CFIA), which swift ly investi-gated alleged fi ndings of infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) virus and then refuted those reports.

Joseph Beres wrote to CFIA colleagues Nov. 9 to praise their “very successful performance”

in briefi ng the media on their initial fi ndings refuting the indepen-dent tests.

“It is clear that we are turning the PR tide to our favour,” Beres said in the email. “One battle is won, now we have to nail the surveillance piece, and we will win the war also.”

Dr. Kim Klotins, the acting national manager of disease control con-tingency planning at the CFIA, said staff can get “a little bit exuberant” in

internal emails.“I really can’t speak to

what he was thinking,” she said under cross-examination.

“My read is there is not a particular viewpoint that we’re fol-lowing,” Klotins told the commission. “Th e point of surveillance is to fi nd out if it is there or is not there.”

Dr. Stephen Stephen, the director of DFO’s Biotechnology and Aquatic Animal Health Sciences Branch, also

rejected suggestions federal employees pre-judged this fall’s ISA investigation.

“We’re not about disproving anything,” he said. “We’re about prov-ing the facts.”

He and other federal panelists defended CFIA’s recent determi-nation that re-testing failed to confi rm any presence of ISA in several wild salmon col-lected separately by SFU professor Rick Rout-ledge and independent

biologist Alexandra Morton.

Stephen said the need for accuracy in announcing disease fi ndings is critical, because of potential major impacts to inter-national and domestic trade, as well as fi sher-men, fi sh farmers and First Nations.

Some of the scientists who conducted the lab tests for Routledge and Morton that delivered the initial positive results testifi ed they felt attacked or intimidated by CFIA during the follow-up investigation.

Ottawa was mainly interested in fi nding faults with their meth-odology, they said.

CFIA witnesses said they sought to determine if the samples had been cross-contaminated with the virus in the lab or if other handling procedures led to an erroneous result.

DFO researcher Kristi Miller also told the inquiry in its fi nal days that the ISA virus or something very similar

may have been present in wild B.C. salmon for up to 25 years.

Th e CFIA has prom-ised systematic salmon sampling to test for ISA in B.C. waters starting next year.

Th e latest testimony came in the fi nal days of the inquiry, which wrapped up hearings Dec. 19. A fi nal report and recommendations are due by next June.

Craig Orr, execu-tive director of the Watershed Watch Salmon Society, said he believes ISA is pres-ent in B.C. on the basis of the initial tests, although he said it’s unclear what threat, if any, the virus – which has ravaged farmed salmon elsewhere in the world – actually poses to wild salmon.

“Th e bigger question is what is government doing to protect our interests as opposed to protecting very narrow interests like salmon farming and interna-tional,” Orr said in an interview.

He said the latest email makes it hard to trust the federal agen-cies.

“Salmon is a public resource,” Orr said. “We’ve seen all kinds of evidence throughout Cohen that government information control is really restricting independent science within DFO. Science is completely intertwined with politics.”

THE SECOND of two men involved in armed robberies in North Delta and Surrey last year pleaded guilty in Surrey Provincial Court last week.

On Dec. 16, Craig Hall, 25, admitted to a string of 13 off ences – including robbery, possession of stolen property and several weapons off ences – in connection with inci-dents in October 2010.

Hall and Dylan Dempsey, who was 18 at the time, began by robbing a fast food outlet in North Delta near 120 Street and 73

Avenue on the morning of Oct. 22.

Th eir faces were covered and they were carrying what police said appeared to be a sawed-off shotgun and machete.

Just 20 minutes later, there was another armed robbery at a store near 132 Street and 85 Avenue in Sur-rey.

Th e getaway car was spotted by a Surrey RCMP offi cer a few minutes aft er the sec-ond holdup.

When the driver realized he was being followed, he hit the gas pedal and started weav-ing through traffi c.

An RCMP offi cer used a police cruiser to block the path of the fl eeing Honda.

Th e thieves slammed into the police car, then proceeded to try to back up to escape.

But by that time, sev-eral other offi cers were on scene and the two suspects were arrested.

Th e getaway car, it turned out, was stolen.

Dempsey, now 20, pleaded guilty to rob-bery and possessing a weapon for a danger-ous purpose last May and was sentenced to 28 months jail and a 10-year fi rearms prohi-bition.

Hall is scheduled to be sentenced in Febru-ary.

Second armed robber makes guilty plea

A PROLIFIC SURREY criminal will spend the next couple of years in jail for setting fi re to a Delta pub last year.

Bradley Th omas Antrobus was sentenced in Surrey Provincial Court Th ursday (Dec. 15) to two years and four months in prison for the arson that destroyed the Tidewaters Pub & Grill in May 2010.

Antrobus, who was already in custody on other charges, pleaded guilty to the arson charge last month. Th e judge also imposed a lifetime fi rearms prohibition.

However, the 28-year-old also faced sentencing for a string of other, unrelated charges as well. He pleaded guilty in November to forcible confi ne-ment in connection to an April 2010 incident in Surrey and was handed a two-year jail sentence on Th ursday. Related charges of robbery and uttering threats were stayed.

As well, Antrobus faced 25 counts of theft -related charges from June 2010, including mail theft , as well as four fi rearms charges. While 15 of those charges were stayed, he was sentenced to a year in jail for the rest.

Antrobus’s criminal record is lengthy, dating back to 2004 when he was found guilty of possessing break-in instruments in Delta. Since then, he’s faced multiple charges of drug possession, theft , posses-sion of stolen property, break and enter, breaching probation and carrying a weapon.

In 2006, he made two most-wanted lists: as one of the top fi ve sought by Surrey RCMP, and as one of the 10-most-wanted by the Integrated Municipal Auto Crime Team (IMPACT).

PORT Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore has been acclaimed the new chair of the Metro Vancouver board, catapulting him into a prominent lead-ership role on regional matters.

Moore was not chal-lenged by other local politicians in last Fri-day’s board election and replaces outgoing Metro chair Lois Jackson, the mayor of Delta.

Vancouver Coun.

Raymond Louie was elected vice-chair.

Louie, nominated by Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts, defeated North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton, who was nominated by Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie.

Th e regional district chair position comes with a $66,000 annual stipend in addition to Moore’s pay as mayor in his home city, while Louie will receive half that amount as vice-

chair.Burnaby Mayor

Derek Corrigan consid-ered running for chair, but said Moore will do a good job and said he did not have enough time to eff ectively serve the region and Burnaby, par-ticularly since his wife is now an NDP MLA.

Among the challenges for the new board is

the replacement of retiring Metro chief administrative offi cer

Johnny Carline, who departs in February.

Moore said he intends to collaborate more closely with the provincial and federal governments – which Metro

hopes will contribute to sewage treatment plant upgrades that are expected to cost at least $1.6 billion and drive up utility fees.

“Instead of going cap-in-hand to them I think we need to go to them and suggest how we can work in partner-ship together,” he said. “Money is an extremely important part of it, but there’s a lot more to the relationship than just money.”

One of the balancing acts ahead is working with the Fraser Valley Regional District and the province as Metro proceeds with its newly approved solid waste plan.

It allows the region to stop sending trash to the Cache Creek regional landfi ll and instead try to build more garbage incin-erators or other types of waste-to-energy plants, but ultimate approval hinges on how consulta-tions and more research on environmental impacts unfold.

Th e Metro board pre-sides over a $614-mil-lion budget delivering a range of regional services, but most of it goes for water treatment and sewage handling.

Friday also saw the swearing in of the Metro board directors, who consist of council-lors or mayors from each city, chosen by

their councils.Moore will decide

whether to restructure the Metro committee system and which direc-tors will chair and serve on each one – tasks that can come with a high profi le.

Moore had been most prominent in regional politics as chair of the waste management committee that led a sometimes contentious set of public meetings on the solid waste plan.

He is not a member of any political party but was a BC Liberal member a few years

ago.“I’m a pretty center-

of-the-road kind of guy,” Moore said, adding social issues including homelessness are major concerns for him.

Th e 41-year-old father is a former Port Coquitlam youth worker and urban planner whose hobby is building websites for non-profi ts.

Aft er getting a mas-ter’s degree in business, Moore served two terms on Port Coquitlam council before being elected mayor in 2008 and was re-elected in November.

Walton had consid-ered running for the Metro chair but decided to instead support Moore, who he said was a “better candidate than me” and who did “an outstanding job” handling the diffi cult and controversial waste strategy.

“He has superb people skills,” Walton said, adding that if there was any “horse-trading” that secured Moore’s unopposed run he was not part of it.

Walton is currently chair of the Mayors Council on Regional Transportation, which controls TransLink tax

increases. Th at position is up for election in January.

He said he’s thinking of seeking the position again, but hasn’t made a fi nal decision.

Walton led the may-ors to a deal with trans-portation minister Blair Lekstrom that delivers a two-cent gas tax hike for TransLink in order to launch work on the Evergreen Line.

But the next mayors council chair will have to continue negotiating with the province to secure new funding sources which are almost guaranteed to be highly controversial.

A CRACKDOWN on harassment is being promised by the new offi cer in charge of the RCMP this week.

Newly appointed Assistant Com-missioner Craig Callens – who used to be the head of detectives for Surrey RCMP – said his fi rst order of business is to take on allegations of bullying and harassment made by female offi cers.

Th e force in British Columbia is the largest in the country and includes about 6,000 offi cers.

Th e RCMP has been pummelled by problems, the most recent being allegations of sexual harassment and bullying by female offi cers.

Callens said that while Mounties need to focus on stopping crime, there also needs to be an improve-ment in members’ behaviour.

Callens joined the RCMP in 1985.

SURREY BOARD of Trade CEO Anita Huberman has been named one of the top 40 infl uential people under 40 years old.

Th e 2011 Top 40 under 40 win-ners were announced by Business in Vancouver newspaper on Dec. 13, honouring top achievers under 40 years old.

Huberman was recognized for her role at the Surrey Board of Trade (SBOT), in the province’s second-most populous city.

As CEO of the lobby group, Huberman oversees 400 volunteers and a budget of nearly $1 million.

She has been an SBOT employee since she graduated from SFU with a bachelor of arts and communications in 1996.

Aft er becoming CEO in 2007, Huberman has created new awards programs, including the Surrey Women in Business Awards.

She also spearheaded the SBOT’s fi rst trade mission to a foreign country when she joined 80 business people on a trip to China in 2007.

She undertook a similar mission to

India this year.Th at trip facilitated seven memo-

randums of understanding to be signed so far. She is planning a trade mission next year to Brazil.

“Th e solid international trade portfolio has been one of my great-est accomplishments,” she said in a release. “I also helped build an

international trade centre. I went to consulate offi ces and created relationships that no one has had in the board of trade and chamber industry in B.C. Th ose relationships resulted in a formal letter of understanding to partner together in diff erent trade opportunities.”

While Huberman has been at the SBOT helm, the board of trade has grown from 1,200 members to 1,500. She

has also embarked on programs to make those members more active.

For example, she transformed government advocacy from being a single team covering all issues to hav-ing seven separate teams that include 400 volunteers.

She is also a director of the Surrey Foundation, which raises money to give to not-for-profi t organizations.

Granting Niqo’s wishSpecial needs student gets gift from fellow students


Black Press

HE’S AN avid hockey fan. So when Niqo, a Grade 8 student at L.A. Matheson Secondary, received a pre-Christmas gift from a class of older students this week, he was pretty much fl oored.

Th anks to teacher Ami Kambo’s Grade 12 English class, Niqo, his sister and parents attended Monday’s Canucks game against

the Minnesota Wild. And Niqo was wearing his new blue and green jersey, too.

A special needs student at the Surrey high school, Niqo picks up the paper recycling from the Grade 12 stu-dents’ class every week.

The students took a liking to their younger schoolmate and his mature and gentle personality and decided they wanted to make one of his

wishes come true.Th ey all pitched in to

buy the hockey tickets

and jersey and pre-sented them Wednesday to a surprised Niqo.

LA Matheson Grade 12 students, along with their teacher, purchased four Canucks tickets for Niqo, a Grade 8 special needs student at their school.

A NEW agreement that supports obstetrical anesthesia 24 hours a day, seven days a week in B.C. was announced by the provincial gov-

ernment on Dec. 13.While that news

is welcome, the B.C. Anesthesiologists’ Society (BCAS) – which issued a media advisory Monday regarding its Tuesday morning press

conference – said it simply illustrates an ongoing problem: the lack of any kind of process for the BCAS to communicate with government to resolve several issues, includ-

ing the need for 24/7 anesthesiologists in B.C. obstetrics wards.

Anesthesiologists still plans to withdraw elec-tive services as of April 1, despite the province’s “convenient” announce-

ment, said BCAS execu-tive director Dr. Roland Orfaly.

He said the timing of the Ministry of Health release was interesting.

“Th e fi rst we heard of it was at 10:15 this morning,” he said Tues-day. Th e BCAS press conference started at 10:30 a.m.

“We had no idea the government was even talking to anyone on that issue. We were certainly not part of the process.”

Orfaly said the BCAS has been trying for years to create a process in which it can come to the table with govern-ment representatives to address issues including wait times for surgery to patient safety issues (including the need for 24/7 obstetrics anesthe-siologists) to periopera-tive effi ciency issues.

“Right now, there is no process. An agree-ment was signed two years ago today where they promised us there would be a process in place by 2011,” he said. “We’re still waiting.

We’ve been waiting for years for the govern-ment to address all problems regarding anesthetic care.”

Orfaly said instead of increasing ORs and funding, more could be done with existing resources.

“(Th e provincial government) is just throwing money at the symptoms of the prob-lems,” he said. “It’s not about more money. It’s about not wasting the money we have.”

Th e Ministry of Health said the “mile-stone” agreement with the B.C. Medical Asso-ciation (BCMA) paves the way for 24/7 obstet-rical anesthesia services in all of B.C.’s tertiary care maternity hospitals to better support high-risk pregnant women and their babies.

Funding will come from “the allocation of $2.5 million in unspent funding from the cur-rent Physician Master Agreement between the province and the BCMA.”

B.C. Women’s

Hospital already has a dedicated obstetrical anesthesiology (DOBA) service in place, said the province, and the new funding will help support services at B.C.’s other level three maternity hospitals – Surrey Memorial, Vic-toria General and Royal Columbian.

Orfaly said in the past, the BCAS has off ered the government $3 million of its own funding to help provide 24/7 obstetrics care, but that the government didn’t want to talk.

Th e ministry release says the BCAS “has yet to submit any formal proposal”, but “looks forward to hearing more details on this funding from the society.”

Th e BCAS does not take the planned job action lightly, Orfaly noted.

“All we’re asking for is a process.”

Health Minister Mike de Jong did not respond to requests for an inter-view.

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Vehicle to Vehicle Communication Now in Testing In August 2011, the

American National Highway Traffi c Safety Administration (NHTSA) began testing vehicle to vehicle (V2V) technology.

The trial involves 3,000 vehicles based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Data will be gathered until August 2012. The current focus is to ascertain the type of currently exchangeable information that may be most useful for safety purposes.

V2V technology is not just a car to car technology, but is equally applicable to motorcycles and trucks.

Current safety technology, such as automatic braking upon detection of a collision risk, is referred to as reactive. V2V, on the other hand, is proactive. Vehicles communicate in order to cooperate. In situations where the drivers cannot see each other’s vehicles, the vehicles are aware of each other and agree to rights of way and mutual avoidance.

Once V2V comes into its own, numerous effi ciencies will be achieved. Red lights that are stopping traffi c that could otherwise proceed safely will be eliminated.

Traffi c will fl ow smoothly with vehicle speed optimized for safety and effi ciency of traffi c movement, without a driver’s lagging responses to the movements in front. So called volume delays will be greatly reduced. Traffi c delays on account of “side of the road” disasters, such as truck roll-overs and vehicle wrecks moved aside, will be moderated or eliminated.

All this points to the telematics scenario of the convoy—a line of vehicles moving in concert, by means of joint communication. Importantly, brake lights will be displayed when the convoy data pool suggests an impending slowdown, long before

individual drivers detect the need for speed reduction.

The current testing involves drivers being given a good deal of information about how best to drive. The time when the machine takes over is still well into the future. The NHTSA tests are still very focused on driver response and interaction with V2V. At this

stage, some aspects of the available technology are still relatively expensive, pending mass production, so the tests are looking at the potential immediate introduction of the most cost effective systems now available.

Reportedly, the NHTSA expects that about three quarters of motor vehicle accidents will eventually be eliminated by V2V technology.

To the extent that fossil fuels continues to be in use, V2V technology regulating braking and acceleration will provide substantial reduction in fuel consumption, which in turn provides more disposable income for the individual and greater profi tability for business.

There are also predictable savings with respect to infrastructure such as roads, bridges and tunnels. With vehicles cooperating with precision, the amount of road space required per vehicle during peak traffi c periods is likely to be considerably less that the roadway required to ensure the fl ow of vehicles entirely controlled by drivers who, for the most part, need a fair amount of room to keep them out of trouble. V2V technology will safely compress the traffi c fl ow, and the infrastructure will be useable to an optimum effi ciency currently undreamed of.

AFTER SCUFFLING along the last two weekends – winning just one of fi ve games against conference rivals – the Surrey Eagles bounced back in a big way last week, and now head into the holiday break on a four-game win streak.

Th e Eagles won each of its games last week, beginning with a 4-1 victory over the Powell River Kings Wednesday at South Surrey Arena. On Friday in Victoria, the Eagles beat the struggling Griz-zlies 5-2, and followed up with a 6-5 edging of the Alberni Valley Bulldogs Saturday and a 2-1 win Sunday over the visiting Prince George Spruce Kings .

Th e Eagles are now 6-3-1 in the last 10 games, and improved their record on home ice, where they are now 13-2-1-2 (won-loss-tied-overtime loss) on the season. Surrey currently sits in second place in the BC Hockey League’s Coastal Conference, three points shy of the Cowichan Valley Capitals.

Wednesday against Powell River, the Eagles’ power play and start-ing goaltender paced the attack; the team scored three of its four goals with the man-advantage, and netminder Andrew Hunt stopped 42 of 43 Powell River shots.

Th e Eagles got goals from four diff erent players – Brandon Morley, Charles Orzetti, Sean McGovern and Alex Hagen.

Friday in Victoria, captain Tyler Morley led the team with a pair of goals – giving him a team-best 18 on the season – while Brandon Tanev, Brandon Morley and Hagen

also found the back of the net.Newcomer Brayden Jaw, who

was signed aft er starting the season in Nanaimo, continued to impress with his new team, pick-ing up a pair of assists.

Hagan, the Eagles’ other recent addition to the forward ranks, has four goals and seven points since joining the team in a trade from the Vernon Vipers.

Back at home Friday, McGovern had a goal and an assist against Alberni Valley, while Robert Lin-dores had a goal and two helpers to lead the attack.

Neither team scored in the opening 20 minutes, but rather than continue as a defence-fi rst aff air, the game blew apart in the second period, with the Eagles scoring four – including McGovern’s shorthanded marker – and the Bulldogs adding two.

Th e visitors scored three more in the third, including two in the fi rst three minutes to briefl y tie the game, but Hagen and Demico Hannoun restored the Eagles’ lead soon aft er.

Conor Barrie earned the win between the pipes for the Eagles, who don’t play again until aft er Christmas when they host Cow-ichan on Dec. 29.

Surrey wrapped up its busy but impressive week with Sunday’s win over Prince George.

Aft er a one-game break, Hunt was back in net for the Birds, stopping 29 shots; Spruce Kings’ Michael Betz was the only player to beat him for a goal.

Orzetti and McGovern were the goal-scorers for the Eagles.

SECTION C0-ORDINATOR: RICK KUPCHUK (PHONE 604-575-5335)

by Rick Kupchuk

FOR THE fi rst time in close to a month, the North Delta Devils have lost a hockey game.

Th e Devils dropped a 5-4 overtime deci-sion to the North Vancouver Wolf Pack back on Nov. 23 at the Harry Jerome Rec Centre in North Vancouver. Playing in the same rink Monday night, while on a seven-game win streak, the Devils again faced the Wold Pack and fell 6-2.

North Delta had a 2-1 lead midway through the Pacifi c International Junior

Hockey League contest, with Adam Nishi and Manuveer Mahil scoring powerplay goals 28 seconds apart to erase a 1-0 North Vancouver lead aft er 20 minutes.

But just 61 seconds aft er Mahil tallied the go-ahead goal, the Wolf Pack drew even again. Th en, despite getting outshot 17-11 in the fi nal frame, the home side scored four unanswered goals.

Th e loss came two days aft er the Devils had won their seventh straight.

For more than 59 minutes, it seemed as though a six-game win streak would come

to an end. But the Devils rallied from a three-goal defi cit to edge the Grandview Steelers 4-3 in overtime at the Sungod Arena.

Th e best team in the Junior B league over the past 10 games, the Devils surrendered a pair of powerplay goals and fell behind 3-0 by the time the game was 22 minutes old.

North Delta shut out the Steelers the rest of the way, getting a goal from Stefan Bur-zan late in the second period, then dominat-ing play in the third period.

With less than three minutes to play,

Grandview was clinging to a 3-1 lead when Nishi forced overtime with two quick goals. He pulled the home side to within one with two minutes to go, then tied the game with a shorthanded eff ort with just eight seconds to play.

Burzan netted the winner aft er four min-utes of overtime.

Aft er playing .500 hockey through the fi rst 18 games of the schedule, North Delta is now 14-8-4 (won-loss-overtime loss). In third place in the Tom Shaw Conference, the Dev-ils trail the Delta Ice Hawks by eight points.

THE VALLEY West Hawks won one of two B.C. Hockey Major Midget League (MML) games in Kelowna last weekend, moving into a tie for fi ft h place.

Th e Hawks doubled the Okanagan Rockets 4-2 Saturday aft ernoon, then dropped a 7-4 decision in the rematch Sunday morning.

Valley West, comprised of players from the Semiahmoo, Cloverdale, Surrey and Langley minor hockey associations, now has a 14-10-0 (won-loss-tied) record, tied with the 12-8-4 Greater Vancouver Canadians and four points up on the seventh place North Island Silvertips. Th e top six teams will make the playoff s.

Th e Hawks were 21 minutes away from a sweep of Okanagan,

taking a 4-2 lead into the fi nal minute of the second period Sunday.

Th e Rockets scored with just fi ve seconds to play in the period, then tie the contest 15 sec-

onds into the third. Th ey notched the winner with eight minutes to play, adding two insurance goals before the game was over.

Daniell Lange scored

twice for Valley West, with Latrell Charleson of Surrey and Langley’s Jacob Taylor adding singles. Surrey’s Ram Brar collected a pair of assists.

Th e Hawks were down 2-0 before Sat-urday’s game was 10 minutes old, but came back to tie the contest 2-2 aft er 20 minutes on goals by Langley for-wards Danton Heinen and Lange.

Brar scored the win-ning goal 16 minutes into the second period, and Kyle Raymond of Langley added an empty net tally with 69 seconds to play.

Th e Hawks will be in Calgary Dec. 26 to Jan. 1 for the Mac’s Tourna-ment. Th ey are grouped with with St. Albert Raiders, Calgary Royals, Saskatoon Contacts and MML rival Vancouver Chiefs for round robin play.
