Hero brothers save tots Twin girls seriously injured in Surrey apartment fire
by Kevin Diakiw THEY WERE JUST waiting for dinner to cook
on Tuesday night when they heard a woman screaming in the hallway of their Cedar Hills apartment building. Simon and Matt Gallant, 25 and 28 respectively, headed for the door to see if they could help. The hallway now filling with smoke, Matt sent Simon for flashlights while he entered the apartment across from them. The two of them checked all rooms but one – the one with a door closed. Opening that door, Simon was knocked

drinking drivers in the second half of the December CounterAttack campaign in the Lower Mainland. And RCMP Traffic Services Supt. Norm Gaumont is crediting the province’s tougher roadside penalties for dissuading motorists who’ve consumed alcohol from getting behind the wheel. “That’s a marked decrease,” he said. “What we’re hearing Norm from our members on Gaumont the road is a lot of people are now talking about this and have designated drivers.” A total of 427 drivers stopped by police were given prohibitions, suspensions or were charged for impaired driving in the Lower Mainland during the December CounterAttack period. That included 132 who received 90-day driving prohibitions.
“... a lot of people are now talking about this and have designated drivers.”

Business bracing for influx of dead beds New mattress disposal fee expected to be a boon Scaldaferri, who was running a successful student landscaping firm – decided to take the plunge. They now charge residents $14 to responsibly recycle old mattresses, with volume rates available for regular suppliers like hospitals, universities and hotels. Most of the $20 fee Metro charges at transfer stations will go to mattressrecycliing.ca, provided a competitor doesn’t start up. Inside their warehouse, a mattress can be disassembled in as little as five minutes. The metal from the springs go to metal recyclers. The polyurethane foam gets chipped up for use in carpet underlay. Wood and cotton go to whoever has a use for them. Plavsic says the venture is far from lucrative. “It’s a very labour-intensive process,” he said. “It’s pretty much a breakeven business. We’re trying to do a service for the environment.” But they’re bracing for big change. With mattresses banned from the dump and the Metro fee now in place, they expect to process 40,000 to 80,000 beds this year – as much as a 10-fold increase from less than 8,000 in 2010. As for the disposal fee, Plavsic
by Jeff Nagel
YOU’LL HAVE to pay to get rid of an old mattress from now on in Metro Vancouver. The regional district has started charging a $20 disposal fee on mattresses and box springs that arrive at local transfer stations effective Jan. 1 to help subsidize the costs of recycling them and avoid clogging the landfill. The change is just what Zac Plavsic has been lobbying for. The Beijing Olympic windsurfer is one of four young partners who co-founded mattressrecycling.ca two years ago to offer a green solution to the old mattress problem in the region. They realized more than 100,000 mattresses a year were ending up in the garbage in the Lower Mainland – an huge waste of resources considering they’re more than 90 per cent recyclable. “We said this is ridiculous,” Plavsic said. “It’s the equivalent of two times the volume of B.C. Place. That’s a pretty big difference if we’re able to remove that from the landfill.” Nobody was attempting to recycle mattresses west of Toronto, so the partners – including Fabio

argues it’s not unreasonable. He notes larger televisions are now sold with a $31.75 environmental fee tacked on to cover future recycling costs and e-waste depot operations. “When you buy a $1,500 mattress, you’re not paying any recycling fee for that.” He’s aware of concerns that the new disposal fee could prompt more illegal dumping but he’s hopeful that won’t happen. Residents can avoid paying the full $20 Metro fee by dropping a mattress off at mattressrecycling. ca in person, donating them when possible (call the Recycling Council of B.C. at 604-RECYCLE or see www.metrovancouverrecycles.org) or by having a retailer take the old mattress back when buying a new one. Dropping off other garbage at a transfer station also now costs more. Metro raised its tipping fees 18 per cent from $82 to $97 per tonne Jan. 1. The tipping fee for yard and garden waste, including food waste and wood waste, rose from $59 to $63 per tonne. The minimum dumping fee is $10 for small loads or $20 at peak times at some transfer stations.

Cameras for Delta’s worst accident sites?
Police credit B.C.’s new, more immediate roadside penalties for a significant drop in the number of people caught drinking and driving during December’s CounterAttack campaign.
Police aim to make municipal roads safest in B.C. by Dan Ferguson
AUTOMATIC CAMERAS to catch red-light runners are being considered for intersections in North and South Delta as part of a police campaign to reduce the accident rate on municipal roads. While he has some reservations, Delta Police Chief Jim Cessford supports the notion. “It’s probably a good idea,” Cessford told a recent Delta Police Board meeting. The province and ICBC will be asked to consider funding cameras for the two most accident-prone crossings in the community. The worst of the worst is the intersection of 72 Avenue and 120 Street, where hordes of short-cutting commuters make the crossing from Surrey to pass through North Delta en route to the Alex Fraser Bridge and Vancouver. The second worst is Ladner Trunk Road and Highway 17, where traffic from the B.C. Ferries terminal in Tsawwassen and the container port terminal in Ladner flow toward the Jim Cessford Massey Tunnel. Cessford said operating a red light camera at the Ladner Trunk Road crossing poses some unique problems, because such a camera would only capture the rear licence plate of an offending vehicle as it passes. In the case of the many container trucks rumbling through the South Delta intersection, Cessford said that means the licence plate of the rented trailers will be recorded, not the plates of the trucks pulling them, which are usually owned by a different person. Of the 20 worst intersections in Delta, 15 are in North Delta, the police board was told. The look at red light cameras coincides with a just-announced campaign to make Delta roads “the safest in B.C.” as part of the Delta Police Department’s (DPD) new long-range strategic plan. That is the same aim-high approach taken by a previous DPD strategic plan that called for a drugfree Delta, Deputy Chief Const. Rich Drinovz told the board – a goal that may not be technically possible, but is still worth going for. “That’s the highly idealistic place that you want to get to,” Drinovz said. “It’s an idealistic statement but it’s a highly honourable statement.” dferguson@surreyleader.com

Impairment: Swift consequences From page 1 Another 92 got three-day prohibitions and their vehicles were impounded. Some of those penalized were in the warn range between a bloodalcohol level of 0.05 and the legal limit of 0.08, however detailed statistics weren’t available. Tellingly however, just six drivers during the CounterAttack campaign were charged criminally for impaired driving – down sharply from a year ago. Defence lawyers contend the most serious impaired drivers who register well over 0.08 are escaping without a criminal conviction or record, enjoying a virtual decriminalization of impaired driving under the stiffer administrative penalties that took effect in September. Gaumont rejects that criticism, noting a repeat offender can now have their car towed for 30 days, be given a 90-day prohibition, be forced to use an ignition interlock at a cost of $1,400-plus per year and take a $700 course to get back on the road. “That is not a minor consequence,” he said. “You’re dealing with them swiftly. The consequences are immediate. “We’re hoping to change their driving behaviour immediately instead of them going back next weekend and drinking and driving again.” Pursuing criminal charges can typically mean a two-year wait through the justice system, he added. By not charging a drunk driver, he said, an officer saves about 20 hours of time that would normally be spent investigating, filing paperwork and testifying in court. “Those 20 hours can now be spent on the road getting more
impaireds off the road.” Criminal charges still proceed in cases of injury crashes and more serious repeat offenders, he said. The new system has also been accused of making police officers not just investigators but also judges, dispensing justice at the roadside. Gaumont says drivers who doubt the accuracy of their roadside breath test can ask for a second test on a different machine and anyone penalized can appeal through the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles. “We’ve got all kinds of mechanisms in there to make sure the process is fair.” Gaumont said the penalties are spurring a sea change in attitude. And he predicts the ultimate measure of success will be a drop in impaired driving-related fatal crashes in B.C. “Preliminary-wise, we’re seeing a drop, a significant drop,” he said, adding more statistics will be released in the months ahead. Ontario saw a 30-per-cent drop in impaired driving fatalities after bringing in similar administrative penalties to B.C.’s. The Christmas CounterAttack blitz also saw 3,229 Lower Mainland speeders ticketed, including 114 for excessive speeding where the vehicle was impounded. Officers also handed out 1,144 tickets or warnings for seatbelt infractions and 1,253 tickets for running traffic lights, failing to stop or yield or making improper turns. Lower Mainland traffic officers intend to shift more of their focus to distracted drivers who continue to talk, text or use hand-held devices in violation of B.C.’s now year-old ban. jnagel@surreyleader.com
Surrey cut bluff trees in error Resident worries about slope stability by Alex Browne SURREY’S CLEARING of trees in
Don Pitcairn
an attempt to improve the view at Kwomais Point Park is one of the culprits in the alleged current instability of the Ocean Park bluff, charges a railway-safety watchdog. Don Pitcairn, president of Surrey’s United Naturists, said the cutting of the trees – acknowledged by the city to have been in error – compounds a problem identified by Transport Canada geologists in April 2007 after a rash of mudslides
buried the Burlington Northern Santa Fe line below the bluff. “It was recommended to the City of Surrey that tree-protection bylaws be toughened to outlaw cutting on this slope, and that all runoff and drain water be redirected to city services at curbside,” Pitcairn said. Noting Surrey’s tree bylaw does not apply to city-mandated work, acting Surrey Parks manager Bob Paterson confirmed Monday that nine mature alder trees were cut by mistake early in December on the slope below the public lookout point at the corner of 14 Avenue
and 126A Street. Most were on BNSF property, Paterson said, adding that the city’s parks-department policy should have ensured they were pruned rather than cut. BNSF public affairs director Gus Melonas said the railway is investigating the situation. Pitcairn – an advocate of relocating the BNSF line – said Surrey has “stuck its head in the sand” on more pressing problems of slope stability. “It is likely that the City of Surrey could be liable for any damage if slides from this destabilized hillside hit the tracks in the future.”

The power of a good story
M
y eldest son is four and he’s lovely. But there are certain things that spark pitched battles between the Little Lad and myself. Like teeth brushing. He squirms, twists, makes faces at the mirror, refuses to open his mouth, chomps down on the bristles. The phrase “wring his little neck” comes to mind. But instead I take a few breaths. Then I tell him a story. And it’s the strangest thing. In an instant, he’s in a trance. Oh sure, he tries to add his own elements – “and the Wiggles are there too, Dad. And the bad man” – but for the most part he’s rendered mute. Pliant. Lovable. And his teeth get cleaned. In similar fashion, shoes are put on, jackets zipped. Even when he wakes up crying at 3 a.m., he stops at the words “Thomas was very tired, but he knew he had a big day ahead pulling the freight cars...” It may seem obvious, but watching his eyes focus on the middle distance, his face go slack, his body relax in that way, shows me something that I guess I’ve always known but perhaps never really acknowledged. We love stories. They’re wonderful. Powerful. And in an odd way, nourishing. And it’s not just the kids. Chris Sure, we don’t sit around as the respected elder regales us with stories of old – ancient myths and legends, tales meant to instruct, warn, advise about what berries to eat and what animals to avoid. Today’s old man by the fire is the media, both electronic and traditional, like this newspaper. The storyteller’s voice has been replaced by the powerful image, the writer’s well-wrought turn of phrase. But the purpose is still the same. As we are riveted, as we laugh and cry, the stories contain vital knowledge that helps us function, helps us get along in our rapidly changing society. The stories comfort and sustain us. This past year there were many such stories that caught our attention.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
RCMP CONTRACT
With the rescue in October of 33 Chilean miners from 700 metres beneath the earth’s surface, we were reminded that miracles can happen. Life is a gift, and we are lucky for all that we have. With the revelation of golf hero Tiger Woods’ serial “ladykilling” in late 2009, this year brought us the story of his slow crawl back to redemption. How the mighty fall – an oft-repeated theme in celebrity stories. It’s satisfying for most of us, the idea that no one is without fault or tarnish in this life. The announcement in England that Prince William and “commoner” Kate Middleton would be soon married also created a stir this year. That development in the ongoing story of the Royal Family, which media pursues with breathless zeal, was uplifting for many Britons. The response in most cases was gratitude, for something to celebrate in gloomy economic times. And in July, the “Barefoot Bandit,” Colton Harris-Moore was finally arrested. The 19-year-old had stolen five small aircraft, two cars and a boat before he was finally apprehended in the Bahamas. His crime spree included burglarizing about 100 homes. His amazing escapes from authorities for over two years made him a Bryan folk hero of sorts, along the lines of famous outlaw Jesse James. His arrest came just after he had stolen a plane in Indiana, which he flew to the Caribbean. I don’t know what his story teaches, other than heck, it’s just a damned good one. To wrap, I guess this is a story about stories. I think they’re wonderful things. They give us comfort. They restore our faith in the goodness of people. They teach us to keep our loved ones close, and give thanks for all we are given. And if they help get your son’s teeth brushed, well, then they’re pure gold.

Donate Good deed makes difficult year better anywhere you can TO JEREMY at Centra Windows:
ACCORDING to newspaper reports over the Christmas season, Canadians have been slow to donate to charities. Having read of the overheads and administration costs of many charities in this past year, my resolution to not support them was reinforced in spades. If I knew that my dollar actually reached an unfortunate victim of famine, flood, hurricane, fire or warfare, I would happily send it. With hundreds of open palms intercepting that dollar between me and a worthy recipient, little or nothing reaches the target. One dollar or $1,000 – precious little ever gets to its destination. News videos of conditions for which it was intended remain scenes of devastation for months, even years after the events. I will continue to donate to local food banks and if anyone is needy enough to steal from the donation boxes in the grocery stores at least my donation will have made a difference to someone.
This year has been a very difficult year for our family. We’ve suddenly lost someone very dear to us. But with the kind, caring and giving people of Centra we have had a project that my husband started completed. I think it was a crew of nine (which included managers) who showed up at my door on a
weekend morning. They volunteered their own time to remove the old single-pane windows and replace them with all of the windows that remained in the garage (a total of eight). The trim surrounding all of the windows is now a perfect match with what Steve had envisioned. Through it all, everyone was very positive and professional. They rehung my safety bars

and window treatments and took away all of the debris. It comforts me to realize all of the people who knew Steve wanted to give us this amazing and positive finish to my our “home renovation.”
A letter writer expresses frustration over a system that makes recycling difficult for those living in rental units.
I LIVE IN A basement suite and go to work very early in the day. Recently it was garbage day, so I put my used containers out near the curb for recycling and left for work. Unbeknownst to me, the recycling company will not pick up recycling containers unless they are in a blue box. All my previous landlords used to place my containers in their blue box and the recycling company would pick it all up. My new landlady, instead of helping the environment and accumulating all my containers with hers, kept her items in a blue box in a different part of the curb, and started fighting with my wife that my method is not appropriate. Consequently, my wife gathered all our containers and brought them home for me to dispose of once I returned from work. I duly took them to a recycling depot, only to be told that they only accept “certain brands” of plastic containers. I was not going to go all over Surrey to find out who accepts what brands of containers I had left over, so I ended dumping them in the garbage. These will now end up in the landfill – all because one landlady decided to be snooty. Perhaps recycling depots should be more “universal” in their acceptance of such containers, to prevent undue inconvenience to citizens. V. Simms
RE: PROPERTY taxes.
It’s really disconcerting to read about increased property taxes when other sources of revenue are blatantly ignored. I am specifically referring to homeowners with secondary dwellings. It seems these properties don’t have to be upgraded but futuristically can be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars and not be taxed as investment property accordingly in the interim. When you consider how many years these secondary dwellings have been tolerated, it would be interesting to know if the upcoming secondary suite bylaw provides for retroactive back taxes on these suites.

No need for federal election YOU REALLY have to wonder what polls Michael Ignatieff is reading these days with his recent assertion that Canadians are ready for an election and his Liberal party is prepared for one. Really. According to the latest Ipsos Reid survey, 60 per cent of voters believe the political process is working fine and there is no pressing need for an election. Most recent polls also have the Conservatives pulling significantly ahead of the Liberals ahead in popularity. A number of polls over the past few years consistently show Canadian’s preference for Stephen Harper over Ignatieff on the leadership issue. These are not the ’30s and ’40s when Liberals formed governments in five or six of Canada’s 10 provinces and Liberals dominated federal politics. For the past three federal elections, the middleclass electors have been turning to the Conservatives. The Conservatives are able to consistently and significantly outperform the Liberals in fund raising and the warnings of outgoing Liberal treasurer Michael Yabsley about the party’s financial woes and the tepid poll numbers for the Liberals should be enough to cause Mr Ignatieff to be careful what he wishes for in the new year. Gerald Hall Parksville
Race for premier is over FORMER FINANCE minister and former deputy
premier and talk-show host Christy Clark has thrown her hat in the ring, in order to replace Gordon Campbell as premier of B.C. She leads all contenders by 11 per cent. My neck may be stuck out a mile, but I believe the race for B.C. premier is over. She has everything the voters are looking for, such as being an outsider and not responsible for the HST. She would cancel the HST referendum, and
put it to a vote in the legislature. The question will be the same as on the September 2011 referendum. Being a former open-line talk-show host, she is familiar with all the political issues, and is ready to debate. Don’t let that sunshine smile and personality fool you. She is as feisty as a pit bull, and will destroy any leader of any opposition, except one. The one the NDP has already destroyed. Fred Perry
How about a performance bonus system for politicians? BY PROMISING to push for a merit-pay system for teachers, Kevin Falcon demonstrated that he believes in self-promotion, union-baiting and political polarization. When the Liberal party members vote for their new leader, I hope they will reject him for his divisive and confrontational politics. If Falcon was sincerely interested in improving educa-
tion, he would not antagonize educators but involve them in a non-politicized process to find new ways to improve our schools. A union’s first responsibility is to its membership; however, the B.C. Teachers Federation (BCTF) claims they put children’s interests first. If this is true, then the BCTF should be given the opportunity to
develop pragmatic proposals within a realistic fiscal framework. If they are incapable of innovation, imagination and compromise, then the process could proceed without them. What will Falcon announce next to get his name in the news? A merit-pay system for politicians?

Police Department (DPD) last year hasn’t been without the occasional hiccup, the Delta Police Board has been told. A few officers are having trouble getting their new wireless earpieces to work. The issue surfaced after a driver spotted a DPD officer using a handheld cellphone while driving on Arthur Drive and filed an anonymous letter of complaint saying the officer was “swerving in his own lane repeatedly.� An internal review determined the officer was making a work-related call and couldn’t get his hands-free earpiece to work.
At least one other DPD member has experienced the same problem, the board was told. Even though the new law specifically exempts “police, fire and ambulance personnel who may need to make calls in the performance of their duties,� members of the Delta Police Department and the Surrey RCMP detachment were equipped with hands-free cell phones after the ban on the use of hand-held phones by drivers took effect on Feb. 1. Motorists caught talking or texting on a handheld device can face fines of $167 under the distracted driver legislation. Police across B.C. issued more than 19,000 tickets in the first six months the new law was in effect, collecting over $3 million in fines.

N OT I C E SURREY CLOSE AND REMOVE THE DEDICATION OF HIGHWAY OF A PORTION OF ROAD LOCATED AT THE NORTH END OF BEDFORD DRIVE BY-LAW, 2010, NO. 17298 NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN of the intention of the City Council of the City of Surrey, pursuant to Section 40 and Section 94 of the Community Charter S.B.C. 2003, c.26, to adopt “Surrey Close and Remove the Dedication of Highway of a Portion of Road located at the North End of Bedford Drive By-law, 2010, No. 17298” at the Regular Council - Public Hearing meeting on the 10th day of January, 2011. The intent of the By-law is to close and remove the dedication of highway of 0.12 ha of road located at the north end of Bedford Drive. This closure is intended to facilitate the consolidation of the road with the adjacent City parkland at 14415 Wellington Drive. In accordance with the Community Charter, SBC 2003, c.26, as amended, approval of the disposition of the road will be considered by City Council at a later date.
A bounty of birds More than 140 species seen in annual Ladner count by Christine Lyon DOZENS OF avian
enthusiasts braved the rain and wind Dec. 27 to help put Ladner at the top of this year’s Christmas bird count. More than 70 volunteers identified 143 feathered species in a 454-square-kilometre area from South Richmond to Point Roberts. The final tally is still tentative, but with only a few counts left in B.C. and raging blizzards in Eastern Canada, Ladner could wind up with the highest species count in the country. Hundreds of bird counts take place across North America
every year from Dec. 14 to Jan 5. Data collected by birders helps scientists track winter bird populations and identify species in need of conservation. “It’s a good activity and it makes people more aware of bird population numbers and the environment and protecting the habitat,” said Ladner count co-ordinator Jude Grass. Despite blustery winds and some minor flooding, Grass said the event was a success. “Considering the weather, the birds were fairly co-operative and we got a good mix of species.” A rare Northern

Hawk Owl was spotted at Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary on Westham Island, and a new species – the Northern Mockingbird – was added to the list. “They do occur in British Columbia, and they d have occurred in the Lower Mainland, butt never on our Christmas bird count,” said Grass. Some 100 non-native Eurasian Collared Doves were counted and 260 Bald Eagles were seen at the Vancouver Landfill. Waterfowl were abundant and one determined team of volunteers returned to the Tsawwassen Ferry
Terminal three times before finally spotting a Black Oystercatcher. Other common species, such as the Pileated Woodpecker, were nowhere to be seen this year. On Dec. 19 aan estimated 130 spe species were identified in the Vancouvver count, which includes the northern part of Richmond. Organizer Adrian Grant Duff said that number is a bit higher than usual. “We had some very good birders this year. We probably had a few more people and probably covered the area a little more thoroughly,” he said.

REGIONAL BRIEFS
Metro gas prices start to squeeze again by Jeff Nagel
Prices in B.C. are above the national average of $1.11 per litre.
sions to reduce existing pay levels.
GASOLINE PRICES in Metro Van-
couver rose about 15 per cent last year and are now at their highest levels since mid-2008. Average pump prices in the region jumped a couple of cents to $1.20 per litre, according to tracking site vancouvergasprices.com. Gas prices hit $1.50 per litre in July of 2008 in the wake of a major spike in oil prices that year. But Michael Ervin, a petroleum consultant and vice-president at the Kent Group, doesn’t see prices getting that high again in the coming year. “I don’t think we’re going to see any quick return to that,” he said. “2011 is not going to be characterized by any tremendous volatility in crude oil prices.” Ervin said the depressed U.S. economy has helped curb demand and ensure there’s plenty of surplus refining capacity in North America, helping keep consumer gas prices in check.
Ferries salaries released

lected $984,000 in pay and bonuses in 2009. That was a slight decrease from last year because of a smaller bonus. Hahn’s base salary is $510,000. BC Ferries salary information was released this month in response to a Freedom of Information request. Three other vice-presidents at the corporation have base salaries of at least $300,000 and, once bonuses and incentive plans are included, collected between $480,000 to $537,000 each in 2009. The figures show ferry corporation executive pay levels climbed sharply after 2003, when the former Crown corporation was turned into a semi-private entity.

sion on the name of its new smart card to a public vote early in 2011. “With so many names with diverse meanings and interpretations, we want to ensure the public has a say in the name of the card and system they will be using for decades to come,” TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis said. The online and mail-in vote is supposed to happen sometime early in 2011, after a TransLink team narrows the field.
Vacancy rates edge down APARTMENT VACANCY rates in
Metro Vancouver have dropped slightly to 1.9 per cent, according to the latest rental survey by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.
That’s down from 2.1 per cent a year ago. CMHC senior market analyst Robyn Adamache cited an increase in jobs in the region and a steady influx of new residents. “A slowdown in first-time home buyer activity also contributed to lower vacancy rates as more households remained in the rental market,” she said. It’s really a tale of two markets – while it’s got harder to find purpose-built rental apartments, 3,500 more investor-owned condos have gone into the rental market. That actually increased the vacancy rate for those units as well as suites and rental houses and townhomes by half a point to 2.2 per cent. Landlords typically raised rents by 2.6 per cent in Metro Vancouver in 2009. The average rent of a one-bedroom apartment climbed to $940, while two-bedroom units now go for an average of $1,195.
Lice not the culprit: Study A NEW study rejects the theory
sea lice from salmon farms in the Broughton Archipelago infected and devastated returning wild pink salmon in 2002. Three scientists, Gary Marty, Sonja Saksida and Terrance Quinn, wrote the paper, which was edited by UBC fishery biologist Carl Walters and is to be published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. “All published field and laboratory data support the conclusion that something other than sea lice caused the population decline in 2002,” the study says. The researchers suggest viral or bacterial infections are more probable causes. Separating farmed salmon from wild salmon – through closedcontainment farms or other means – won’t improve wild stocks, they found.

try to resolve the nine-monthold dispute between the Fraser Health Authority and its orthopedic surgeons over the pay and coverage levels to handle on-call emergencies. Patients requiring emergency surgery for broken bones are often being transferred to a different hospital because there’s now just one on-call orthopedic surgeon in the region to handle all such cases. The disruption has been traumatic to families – some blame the delays as aggravating factors in the deaths of their loved ones while others expecting treatment at their home hospital have ended up an hour’s drive or more away. Dr. Andrew Webb, Fraser Health’s vice-president of medicine, told a November board meeting patients are being disrupted by the dispute and in some cases getting an inappropriate level of care because of delays. “They’re being forced to travel long distances as the orthopedic surgeons have organized themselves in a way that rotates the on-call services between hospi-
tals,” Webb said. “There’s one on at a time and that one may be quite distant from the site where the patient is.” The most serious life-and-limb emergencies continue to be handled at New Westminster’s Royal Columbian Hospital, the region’s trauma centre. But other patients – such as those with broken hips – can be bounced from Abbotsford to Surrey, as recently happened with one 89-year-old woman. Prior to last April, Fraser Health paid for eight orthopedic surgeons to be on call each day region-wide at level 1 of the Medical On Call Availability Program (MOCAP), which pays each surgeon $616 and required them to respond within 45 minutes. The health authority’s decision to reclassify orthopedic surgery to MOCAP level 2, which pays $452 per day and requires a two-hour response time, saved $480,000 a year. But the move prompted the surgeons to designate just one of them to be on call at a time rather than eight, triggering regular patient transfers to the on-call surgeon.
Fraser Health’s most recent offer was to reinstate level 1 payment but for four orthopedic surgeons per day rather than eight, according to Dr. Peter Blair, Fraser Health’s program medical director for surgery. The move would restore full pay for being on call but mean the surgeons would be available at only half as many hospitals as a year ago, meaning some transfers would continue. “We don’t think that would be too onerous,” Blair said. “Right now, all they have is one orthopedic surgeon on call for the whole region and they’re managing.” That’s expected to be one of the proposals under consideration when a mediator can be appointed and convene the two sides. Dr. David Wickham of the B.C. Orthopaedic Association said the issue is not about money. “The fact is that they’re (Fraser Health) lowering the standard of care,” he said. Fraser Health is also in a dispute with ophthalmologists over pay levels for being on call to handle eye emergencies. — with files from Vikki Hopes

THE TAX COLLECTOR will not solicit personal
information by mail, telephone or email, authorities warn. The Delta Police Department (DPD) and the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) are warning the public about fraudsters looking to obtain financial information from the public. The latest reported incident took place in Delta on Dec. 21, when a resident reported a suspicious email he received and believed to be fraudulent. The email, claiming to be from CRA, indicated the attached form was to be completed and then a refund of $344.79 would be issued. The form required the release of personal and financial information before the refund would be issued.
Grammatical errors, no official letterhead and other mistakes were indications this was the work of a fraudster. The man who received the message declined to give out personal information and called police. “Invariably, the communication argues that this personal information is needed so that the taxpayer can receive a refund or benefit payment,” the CRA website says. “Another common scam refers the person to a web site resembling the CRA’s web site where the person is asked to verify their identity by entering personal information. Taxpayers should not respond to such fraudulent communications.” For tips and information to protect yourself from becoming a victim, visit www.cra-arc.gc.ca/ntcs/ bwr-eng.html

SURREY HAS named its public members to civic committees. As occurs on an annual basis, city council has selected public volunteers to serve on several civic committees. These committees advise council on a variety of topics ranging from heritage to parks to agriculture. Those recommendations are usually adopted by council and often lead to policy or bylaw changes. Mayor Dianne Watts said the volunteers are a crucial part of the government process. “All of those committees are so key to the functioning of how the city works,” Watts said. “Their contribution is extremely valuable.” The public members of the committee for 2011 are: Agricultural Advisory Committee

WINTER SIGN ME UP! Spring 2011
Keep Your Kids Fit!
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) says about 55 percent of adults are overweight or obese, up from 43 percent in 1960. Much of this can be attributed to poor habits in their youth. The Surgeon General’s Report on Physical Activity and Health found that school-based programs are successful in increasing physical activity levels and emphasizing the substantial benefits of regular moderate exercise. Yet, by the time children reach high school, only 19 percent of them are considered physically active. Many adults feel miserable about their weight. In most cases their struggles with food began in childhood. In the past 20 years, obesity among 6 to 11 year-old children has increased 54%! Kids are playing less and getting less exercise because of technology. As parents, we need to teach our children about having balance in our lives, exercise,
fitness, and good eating habits. We need to set a good example and train our children for life. Kids shouldn’t wait till they grow up to start exercising and eating right. Young minds learn quickly. Here are some tips to help your kids stay active apart from rewiring your TV and computer: • Set a good example. If you aren’t active, why should your kids be? They are more likely to do what you do, rather than what you say. Role modeling is still the most influential teacher. • Instead of taking the car to the store, walk or ride bikes with your kids. • Instead of having the weekly family outing to the movies, go to the park, and involve their friends as well. • Have birthday parties at parks, water parks, the Discovery Zone, skating rinks, and other active places where your kids can run, jump, and play.

WINTER SIGN ME UP! Surrey Baseball Association
There are so many ways to be active! • Do things with your kids that are fun for both of you...swimming, hiking, ride bikes, jump rope, tag, kickball, catch, etc.
Regular exercise can help your kids grow into fit and healthy adults by reducing their risk of a wide range of health problems such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure. And, in addition to keeping your child physically healthy, staying fit can also boost their self-esteem. So help your kids get excited about exercise while they’re young. Creating this mindset at an early age helps set a lifelong pattern of thinking. Exercising can become a habit that will provide them with a lifetime of benefits.
Physical activity is proven to improve quality of life for children and is important in decreasing the risk of obesity, heart disease, depression and a myriad of other health problems throughout their lives. Some experts say that if one in five inactive individuals in North America became active, more than $100 billion in health care and related costs could be avoided. Increasing the physical activity level of children and youth and providing visionary leadership, resource support and effective programs is critical for the future of our children. The time is now to address decreasing activity levels and the resulting health implications in youth today.

All-Surrey tournament to include 40 teams
Sunday tip-off for RCMP by Rick Kupchuk
by Rick Kupchuk
IT’S NOT ANY bigger, but it is longer.
The Surrey RCMP Basketball Classic, with 40 boys teams competing in separate Senior and Junior competitions, is the largest high school tournament in the province. And when play begins next week, 24 Senior and 16 Junior teams from the Surrey school district will play a total of 72 games to determine its respective champions. But for the first time in its 20-year history, the RCMP Classic will start on a Sunday, with Fleetwood Park and Enver Creek Secondary each hosting four first round games. In recent years, first round play occured on a Monday, “The major reason we did this, was in past years, you lose in the first round and you could host Pool B games the next day,” said Rick Inrig, co-chair of the organizing committee. “We felt it was better to use predetermined sites, have schools host games regardless. And it eliminates the need to play twice in the day later in the week. “So far, there’s not been an ounce of conRick Inrig cern from the teams. So we’ll try it and see how it works.” The Jan. 9-15 tournament, the first to take seven days to complete, has been dominated in the Senior category by the White Rock Christian Academy (WRCA) Warriors. But the winners of 10 of the previous 12 all-Surrey tournaments aren’t among the favourites in 2011. The Tamanawis Wildcats, the fifth place squad a year ago, are ranked sixth among the province’s top 10 Senior AAA teams, with the Enver Creek Cougars receiving honourable mention in the B.C. High School Boys Basketball Association Top 10 poll. The Warriors, coached by John Dykstra, sit in unfamiliar territory, in the middle of the pack with a 1-2 won-loss record in the competitive Fraser Valley Southwest division. Just prior to the schedule breaking for the holidays, WRCA lost to both the South Delta Sun Devils and North Delta Huskies, the latter loss coming on home court. “That hasn’t happened in a long, long time,” said Dykstra. “But I don’t think we’re slumping. I think we’re still learning about who we are.

came out of the 12-day Christmas break the same way they went into it – with a loss. The Devils fell 6-2 to the Richmond Sockeyes on home ice last Thursday (Dec. 30), the fifth consecutive defeat for the Pacific International Junior Hockey League team. Now with a 19-10-4 (won-loss-overtime loss) record, North Delta has slipped to third place in the tom Shaw Conference, just one point up on the fourth place Grandview Steelers. Prior to the current losing skid, the Devils were in a three-way battle for first place with Richmond and the Delta Ice Hawks. North Delta is now 10 points back of the Ice Hawks and 11 behind the Sockeyes with just 15 games remaining in the regular season. The Sockeyes dominated the last game of 2010, played at the Sungod Arena, outshooting North Delta 44-24 and leading 2-1 and 4-1 at the period breaks. Adam Nathwani scored the first Devils goal, his 10th of the season, and assisted on Adam Nishi’s tally in the final minute of the game. Wesley Lee assisted on both North Delta goals. The Devils start the 2011 portion of their schedule tonight in Maple Ridge against the Ridge Meadows Flames, then are at home tomorrow evening at 6:45 p.m. in the Sungod Arena against the Ice Hawks.

Based on their experience and past successes, Scott, third Jeanna Schraeder, second Sasha Carter and lead Jacquie Armstrong will head into the 10-rink event as the favourites to win their fourth B.C. crown, with the Law foursome warranting serious consideration as a co-favourite. The two rinks squared off in last year’s final with Scott winning 8-4. All in all, Schraeder
expects a competitive week of curling in Cloverdale. “Most of the rinks have been to provincial championships in the past, so there’ll be lots of experience out there,” she said. The Scott rink won the 2005, 2006 and 2010 B.C. women’s titles. The Kelowna women also won the 2006 Canadian women’s title, and the 2007 Canadian and world women’s titles.

urrey’s newest arts centre will feature two local abstract artists throughout the month of January. The decommissioned Fire Hall #10 has been renovated and rebranded into the Newton Cultural Centre, and will house the work of Irma Bijdemast and Uryel Cho until Jan. 31. Bijdemast is a self-taught artist with an eye for seeing the beautiful in the mundane. “Everything has art in it, whether it is a human being or a picture, a painting, an animal. There’s art in everything.” Her history with art extends to her childhood when she was surrounded with art daily, mainly through parental influence. A life long artist, some of her previous forms of expression include landscaping and stippling with Indian ink. She describes her work as, “bold and colourful” – an assessment that any observer would be quick to agree with. The selected pieces for the exhibition all contain an array of vibrant colours. Mean-

dering trails of red, blue, green and yellow drip and move fluidly across the canvas in rich textures. Bijdemast’s layered works also incorporate a variety of mixed media, whether they be everyday items or earthy elements such as moss and bark. The main inspiration for her artwork is derived from nature “You can just transpose the art from nature,” she says. “The colour, everything. All the dimensions that you can play with in nature.” Her greatest reward, however, is when her work has an impact. “That’s what I like, that I’ve captured somebody. That they see something and they have to have it.” All the art works will be accompanied with a piece of poetry written by Debbie Lawrance which add further context to the paintings. “We’ve had people that stand there and read and just love the poetry and understand also what I saw in my painting. Not necessarily what they need to see, but it gives you another understanding of it.” Bijdemast is also involved with philanthropic work, donating proceeds from art sales to charities like the BCSPCA. “I’m always wanting to help out in charities and good causes, I mean that’s what life’s all about.” She was only able to paint seriously after retirement afforded her the time, and has been well received, selling 52 paintings in the past year. Complementing Bijdemast’s work at the Newton exhibit will be that of Uryel Cho, a formally trained artist who devoted himself to art after learning that no other field of study could engage his interest. “I just put myself into art,” he says. “Art was my life, moment, my food, my leisure. It was everything.” His latest series is the product of a recent discovery about his heritage. Three years ago, a curious Cho looked up his ancestry and learned that he is a descendant of the first emperor of the Song Dynasty in China. Through meditation and physical activity, the art commanded its own creation. “The physical dynamic and deep spirituality came together and I let the brush go and choose the colour ... that’s how you connect with something unknown, it became a kind of creation.” This almost catatonic form of painting resulted in a series of eight autobiographical paintings which are a tribute to his political ancestors. The silk-like oil painting collection began with sketched compositions. Cho said the colours blend softly together, but feel they “resemble a sharp light.” The goal of his work is to ignite a desire in people to investigate themselves further. “I just want to encourage others to look up their ancestors and find something

interesting about them and re-cultivate yourself.” According to Cho, art is a “language that has definite grounds, but wants to speak freely with expression. “It’s like a whole story, but by the theme, each theme you can focus on which corner of the story you want to emphasize,” Cho said. He initially delved into an art profession after witnessing his sister express herself freely and creatively through art. Inspired, he abandoned his college pre-medical studies and pursued an arts education, completing his Bachelor of Arts in visual arts at Naropa University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Arizona State University.
