Hundreds of trees under threat
EVAN SEAL / BLACK PRESSA developer wants to remove 332 trees from the forest behind Cloverdale’s Bose Farm as part of a plan to build 65 new homes and 158 townhomes in the area. A public hearing is scheduled for Monday night at Surrey City Hall.
By Kevin DiakiwSurrey council has given prelimi-
nary approval to a development on a heritage site that will see the razing of more than 300 mature trees.
Th e developer is planning to re-move 332 signifi cant trees – many of them more than 25 metres (82 feet) tall – from the back end of a forest of the 7.8 hectare (20 acre) heritage Bose Farm at 16420 64 Ave.
Platinum Enterprises is planning to build 65 single family homes and 158 townhomes on the property.
As part of the plan, the developer has agreed to preserve the Henry Bose Farmhouse, Milk Cooling Shed, and Calf Barn on the heritage property.
At a land use meeting last week, Surrey council voted four to three in favour of sending the proposal for-ward to public hearing.
Mayor Dianne Watts was away, and
Coun. Mary Martin, who was chair-ing the meeting did not vote. Couns. Bruce Hayne, Barinder Rasode and Judy Villeneuve opposed sending it forward.
“I’ve heard really loud and clear from our town hall meetings how
we need to manage our growth better when it comes to issues like our environment,” Rasode said. “And I think this is a perfect opportunity for council to say ‘hey, we need to pay a bit of atten-tion here.’”
Veteran Coun. Judy Villeneuve also took a stand against the removal
of trees on the site.“For me, I was a bit horrifi ed with
that number of trees,” Villeneuve said. “I just don’t want that site to look like the Mary Hill Bypass.”
She said there are several sites throughout the region like it and she
“I was a bit horrifi ed by that number of
trees.”

DAN FERGUSON / BLACK PRESSScminder Johal arrives at court last week.
Former border guard gets 15 yearsBy Tracy HolmesA former South Surrey border guard
who helped smuggle an “enormous” amount of cocaine through the Pacifi c Highway border crossing has been sen-tenced to 15 years in jail for the crime.
Baljinder Kandola, a Cloverdale resi-dent, learned his fate July 13 in B.C. Su-preme Court in New Westminster. Justice Selwyn Romilly sentenced Kandola’s co-accused, Richmond resident Shminder Johal, to 18 years.
In written reasons for sentence, Romilly noted he had “very few mitigating factors to consider.”
Describing Kandola as the “facilitator” of the operation, and Johal as the “overseer,” Romilly cited Kandola’s breach of trust and the fact he accepted bribes from Johal
as among aggravating factors in determining sentence.
Th e pair’s only motivation appeared to be greed, he said.
At a sentencing hearing, prosecutor James Torrance argued both men should get 20 years for the scheme.
“Th is case is about the cor-ruption of a CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) offi -cer and the importation of an enormous amount of cocaine,” Torrance said.
Defense lawyer James Sutherland had suggested a 15-year term.
Neither Kandola, 40, or Johal, 38, ad-dressed the court personally when given
the opportunity by Romilly.Outside court, Sutherland
explained that Kandola “felteverything that could be said on his behalf had been said.”
Both Kandola and Johalwere found guilty June 29 onmultiple drug- and bribery-related charges – includingconspiracy to import cocaineand importation of cocaine –stemming from their arrest in 2007.
Th ey were arrested along with Richmond resident Her-man Riar on Oct. 25, 2007,
aft er police found 11 boxes with 208 bricksof cocaine worth more than $5 million in-

thinks it’s just a “blight on the landscape.”
Newly elected coun-cillor Bruce Hayne also objected to the clearcut.
“It passed, and I fi g-ured it would pass, but I wanted to raise my ob-jection to the removal of those trees,” Hayne said. “We’ll see where it goes at the next public hear-ing in July.”
Coun. Barbara Steele said council asked the developer to save as many of those trees as possible.
“Th e reason I’m in favour of it, I think it’s a development that’s over-due,” Steele said, adding she’s pleased with the heritage preservation on the site. “I went for the scenario that isn’t 100 per cent perfect.”
Martin, who did not vote, said she has great concerns with the re-moval of the forest.
“Th is is like a pristine forest area and I’m very
concerned about it,” Martin said.
Watts said she has a lot of concerns about the tree loss.
“I’m extremely dis-turbed to see that there’s a proposal coming for-ward taking down those kind of trees,” Watts said, noting residents will have their say at the public hearing.
“I will go into that with an open mind, but I have some serious concerns.”
Between 2001 and
2008, Surrey was issu-ing permits to cut down about 10,000 signifi cant trees annually, accord-ing to fi gures obtained by Black Press. Reces-sionary forces caused signifi cant declines from 2009 to 2011.
Critics say despite that decline, they see clearcuts throughout the city.
Th e public hearing on the Bose Farm develop-ment is scheduled for July 23 at 7 p.m. at city hall, 14245 56 Avenue.
Watts: disturbed to see so many trees on the chopping block

inside a GMC Yukon Denali that passed un-checked through the South Surrey truck border crossing into Canada.
While Sutherland had argued that, as a “mere facilitator,” his client’s role in the scheme “should be considered less signifi cant than that of Johal,” Romilly disagreed.
“Th e level of sophistication indicates that both Kandola and Johal knew the risk they were taking in pursuing the importation scheme,” said. “Th is is particularly so for Kandola who was employed in a role that was dedicated to preventing the very activity he was convicted of.”
Kandola played “a pivotal role,” Romilly said.According to evidence heard at trial, Johal and
Riar headed for the border in two vehicles, with Johal in the lead and Riar following, acting as the “transporter” with the drugs in his vehicle.
Th ey timed their trips so Kandola would be the offi cer on duty, and he waved them through.
Police believe the conspirators made several trips between May 2006 and the day of the ar-rests.
Evidence indicated Kandola pocketed at least $10,000 for turning a blind eye to the smuggling, including $4,000 worth of work to upgrade his car, a Mini Cooper.
Riar, described as a “minor player” in the scheme, pleaded guilty and was sentenced in 2010 to 12 years in jail.
A fourth man, Vancouver resident Charles Lai, was arrested in March 2008 in the U.S. as the al-leged leader of the smuggling scheme. He was sentenced to 13 years by a U.S. District Court judge in 2009.
In determining Kandola’s sentence, Romilly considered the analysis of the judge who sen-
tenced Daniel Greenhalgh last year. Greenhal-gh, who was a South Surrey border guard at the Douglas (Peace Arch) crossing, is serving twoyears for sexual assault and breach of trust in con-nection with incidents that occurred while he wason duty in 2007.
“[Border Service Offi cers], like police offi cers, occupy a special position of trust in the commu-nity,” Romilly states. “Th ey are charged with a foundational role in preventing dangerous sub-stances from entering the country. When they abuse their position and seek to profi t by crimi-nal activities, all of Canadian society is put atrisk.”
Both Kandola, who is married and has oneyoung child, and Johal, who is a father of three, were credited for time served. Kandola receivedone month credit; Johal, two months.
Kandola’s sentence included two concurrent14-year terms for conspiracy to import cocaineand importation of cocaine, plus two concurrentone-year terms for breach of trust and accepting abenefi t with intent to facilitate the off ence of im-porting cocaine.
Johal’s 18 years include two concurrent 16-yearterms for conspiracy to import cocaine and im-portation of cocaine, plus two years for importa-tion of fi rearms to be served concurrently with a one-year term for bribery of a border services offi cer.
Both men were also handed 10-year prohibi-tions from possessing fi rearms and ammunition, and lifetime bans from possessing restricted or prohibited weapons.
Romilly ordered cash seized from Johal’s home – $223,880 – forfeited to the Crown; he also or-dered both Johal and Kandola to submit a DNAsample.

TaxiSaver subsidies won’t be scrappedOffi cials at TransLink say they didn’t understand impact until the user backlash forced them to take a closer look
By Jeff NagelTransLink has abandoned its plan to phase out subsidized
cab rides for elderly and disabled HandyDart clients, saying it failed to fully grasp the need for the TaxiSaver program.
Eliminating the $50 per month subsidy for half-price taxi fares would have saved $1.1 million that TransLink intended to reinvest into the oversubscribed HandyDart custom-tran-sit service to provide more rides that way.
But the transportation authority was besieged with pro-tests from angry users, who complained they could at least use TaxiSavers to get a taxi on short notice when HandyDart is unavailable or booked up.
In other cases they could get to an appointment with HandyDart but there was no guarantee of a return ride.
TransLink board chair Nancy Olewiler said the authority has learned from its error.
“Th e TaxiSaver program is reinstated in its entirety,” she said.
“I regret any angst we caused for people who were fearful their program would not continue and they would not have the access they did.”
Olewiler said the goal of the change was always to improve service.
“It wasn’t a cost saving,” she said. “We actually thought, be-lieve it or not, we were going to make the system better.”
TransLink had consulted through its Access Transit Us-ers Advisory Committee, but Olewiler said they later real-ized how some clients use TaxiSavers in combination with HandyDart and how the taxi coupons provide much more convenience and fl exibility.
“We didn’t understand the integral nature of TaxiSavers to the whole program,” Olewiler said. “We just didn’t have that depth of understanding.”
Th e planned cancellation of TaxiSavers – sales were to stop this summer and remaining ones were to expire next June – was put on hold pending more consultation by TransLink in May.
More than 18,000 HandyDart trip requests were denied last year because the service was oversubscribed and that problem has worsened this year.
TransLink also wanted to crack down on unauthorized use of TaxiSavers because the coupons are oft en sold on the black market to people who don’t qualify for the program.
“As with the U-Pass, we’ve seen people selling TaxiSavers on Craigslist,” Olewiler said. “Th ere is fraud.”
TransLink is exploring ways to bolster identifi cation re-quirements as part of the rollout of TransLink’s Compasssmart card.
Th e decision comes as TransLink is in the midst of a searchfor savings on multiple fronts to free up money to satisfy itsindependent commissioner as well as a provincial audit.
CEO Ian Jarvis said that process is “consuming” the orga-nization this summer.
He pledged a fi nancial plan set for release in Septemberwill shed more light on what cost-cutting measures may bepursued.
“Th ere are risks that come with these opportunities,” Jarvissaid, adding TransLink needs to assess the potential impacton reliability and quality of transit services.
TransLink must carve about $50 million a year out of itsbudget to off set a denied fare increase and to make up forarea mayors’ vote to rescind a property tax increase.
Promised express bus routes from Langley to Burnabyover the new Port Mann Bridge and down King George Bou-levard in Surrey are on hold as a result.
Mayors Council vice-chair Peter Fassbender said he hopesTransLink consults carefully as it decides where to cut.
“Th ey’re looking at the rationalization of various servicelevels, unproductive routes, issues on maintenance and awhole host of complex and far-reaching things,” he said.
Fassbender said those decisions need to consider commu-nities’ needs, not just “business cases and numbers.”

To the editor,Really, why privatize alcohol-beverage
sales? Every cent of profi t from all sales of that
poison, with a fi gurative demon in every bottle, should not ever go to personal-mon-etary-gain share-holders’ pockets; it, morally speaking, should go back into B.C.’s public health-care system.
Indeed, it’s high time that our provincialand federal governments exhibited the politi-cal will to buy-out the entire alcoholic-bever-age and tobacco production industries.
Such products should be owned by the people, especially if scores of us – and in par-ticular, our young people – are going to pay for, get seriously ill and die from such prod-ucts. Why should any private interest profi t, and so greatly so, from such addictive vices?
And while they’re at it, the governmentswithin Canada should acquire full con-trol over all of our natural resources – to be completely government owned and oper-ated, with all profi ts and benefi ts going to all Canadians.

Drying ultraviolet rays of the sun break down fi bre in the wood and cause natural oils to evaporate.A cedar roof is a living or-ganism, requiring main-tenance in order to get the best value out of it. Cleaning repairs and pro-tection are vital to its life cycle.
After repairs are complete, we wash and treat your roof with a fl oodcoat of natural oils, which provides UV protection, while still allowing the roof to breathe.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOCloverdale’s Ty Ewan, a member of the Burnaby Mountain Selects Boys U13 elite, was one of 40 players selected to an all-star game at a recent lacrosse camp at the Uni-versity of Denver. Ewan is a student at George Greenaway Elementary School. Teammate Adams Road Elementary student Taylor Dudlets was also chosen to play for the Boy’s U13 Elite team attending the camp at Denver, Colo-rado June 20-25. The camp is considered the premier team camp in the Western United States, with hall of fame coach Bill Tierney and the Denver Pioneers Men’s Lacrosse team hosting the event.

By Sheila ReynoldsA group assigned to review anti-homophobia
policies for Surrey schools held its fi rst meeting last week.
Th e working group was struck following a request to the board of education in June that the Surrey School District establish a standalone anti-homophobia policy.
Proponents say a targeted policy is necessary because of the prevalence of bullying based on sex-ual orientation and the fact it’s been linked to in-creased teen suicide rates.
Presenters at the June 21 public school board meeting, including two Surrey high school students, pointed to the homophobic slurs and behaviour that pervades schools, and the damage it causes students and staff .
Th e working group will consist of parents, students, teachers and other school district staff and will initially be led by Supt. Mike McKay. Th ere are no trustees in the group.
Th e board of education voted to convene the group in order to review policy in light of the issues brought forward by speakers at the meeting.
Th e group’s exact mandate has yet to be deter-mined, but it’s expected it will eventually present its fi ndings to the board for trustees to consider.
Th ere are 18 B.C. school districts that have es-tablished LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgen-dered, questioning) policies and regulations and several others that are considering them.
Most are aimed at instigating systemic change through staff development and education, and measures to improve the understanding of LGBTQ people and their positive contributions to society.
Students in Delta requested a similar policy from trustees in that district in April, but have yet to re-ceive a formal response.
Surrey currently has blanket anti-discrimination regulations that include anti-homophobic lan-guage.

Air Conditioning Service...Why Bother?
Serving Cloverdale/South Surrey Since 1978!
Most vehicle owners never bother to think of their air conditioning until they reach over and turn it to the on position on that really hot summer day.
You should have your vehicle air conditioning serviced as per the factory recommended schedules or at least once a year.
It’s not a good idea to let the AC system in your vehicle sit for long periods of time. In most cases you should be using it all year long. The AC system runs on R134A or newer style refrigerants and together with refrigerant oils they work together at lubricating working parts within the system.
When the AC sits unused for long periods of time you have the potential to develop leaks, have the system dry out and become inoperable.

How can you qualify for the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit?Generally, the CFTC allows parents to claim up to $500 for fees that relate to the cost of registering their child in an eligible program of physical activity. The maximum claim will result in a tax savings of $75.00 and can be claimed once for each of child up to age 16. There are many programs that qualify, but typically the program must be supervised, ongoing, designed for children, and require a significant amount of physical activity. Some activities that may qualify include hockey, soccer, horse-back riding, swimming, sailing and bowling. Note that fees for transportation and equipment do not qualify. Also there are additional benefits available if your child qualifies for the disability amount.If you plan on making a claim for the CFTC on your personal tax return, ensure that you keep the tax receipt from the organization that provided the program.For additional information on this issue, please contact me at your convenience.

Do dentures last forever?
While it’s true that dentures are durable, they aren’t any more permanent than eyeglasses or shoes! Just as the condition of your eyes change, so does the condition of your mouth.
Like the soles of our shoes that wear down due to friction, so do the teeth on our dentures! When your dentures become worn and ill fitting, your chewing becomes impaired and your ability to laugh and smile confidently is compromised.
Generally, dentures should be relined every 2 years and replacing them at regular intervals of 5 to 7 years makes it possible to maintain a healthy natural smile and prevent intraoral deterioration.
Call us today for your complimentary consultation.

Aldergrove park plan advancesMetro Vancouver will proceed with the development of
plans to enhance Aldergrove Regional Park in southeast Lan-gley.
At least that’s what the region is calling the formerAldergrove Lake Regional Park for now, pending a fi nal deci-sion on a new name.
Th e lake reference is being dropped since the regional parksdepartment drained the popular swimming hole in 2011 tocomply with more stringent public health regulations.
Metro staff say they’re considering various trail and facil-ity upgrades, providing moreroutes for pedestrians, cyclistsand equestrians.
An open house is expectedin late September and a draft management plan is to comeback to the Metro board forapproval this winter.
Staff envision an expanded dog off -leash area, creation ofa new wetland area for wildlife viewing and an active farmprogram.
Youth activities at Aldergrove Bowl could include disc golf,tobogganing and adventure play.
A water play area is also under consideration, but not thereopening of a destination swimming area, as desired bymany residents.
It’s not yet clear where money will come for any actualupgrades of the park that do make it into a fi nal plan.
A Metro report cautioned that proceeding with the man-agement plan would “likely result in some public expectationof capital investment to implement the plan.”
