Rather than charging a fee for students looking to upgrade their marks, the Surrey School District will no longer be off ering courses to graduated adults.

Th e move comes after the provincial government cut funding to school districts for programs catering to adults who have already received their high school diplo-ma. Until now, those who had graduated – not just in Canada but anywhere in the world – were able to attend district-run learning centres to upgrade free of charge. Th e province announced the changes in December and they are to take eff ect May 1.

Some school districts, such as Delta and Vancouver, have opted to continue off ering the adult upgrading courses, for a fee of $550 per course.

Surrey Trustee Laurae McNally said the district would have had to charge close to $600 per course to continue to serve graduated adults.

“Th e fee was, what we thought, too much for what the colleges could do it for,” she said.

“I’m really sad to see it change because those students… when they actually got their diplomas and got on with their lives… were probably the strongest advocates for the Surrey School District. Th ey never forgot the help they got from us.”

Adult education instructor Aaron Douglas told Th e Leader he felt the provincial funding cuts were particularly unfair for immigrants, whose high school diplomas aren’t generally recognized by Canadian colleges and universities.

Ayesha Rahimyar, 32, is one of those students, having graduated in Pakistan 16 years ago. As a single mom, she wants to get a higher education so she can better support her young family and has been taking classes at Invergarry Adult Education Centre.

As he does most mornings, on Monday, April 20, Harry Bains was checking his Twitter account when he saw that a man had been shot and killed in his riding over the weekend.

Th e NDP MLA for Sur-rey-Newton felt terrible for the aggrieved family and for the community. He retweeted a post saying, “Another day, another shooting.”

Th e escalating gun violence in the city was becoming too much, he thought. More than 20 shootings had occurred in Surrey in just over a month.

A half an hour later, he heard the news that would shake is world.

Th e 22-year-old man who was killed was Bains’ nephew, Arun Bains.

“Th e Earth shifted from under our feet,” Bains said. “You never expect news like that to hit you and your family.”

Arun was rushed to hospital just before 3 a.m. on Sunday, April 19, after being shot near 126 Street and 88 Avenue.

He died from his injuries in hospital.Th e young man’s death is believed to be

linked to a series of brazen street shoot-ings involving rival drug dealers that has plagued Surrey and North Delta in recent weeks.

Police say Arun Bains was “known to be associated to the people connected to the street level drug trade confl ict.”

However, the family says Bains had no links to any such activity.

“Arun was not a criminal. He was not a gang member. He was loved by everyone

who knew him,” the family said in a statement. “Arun was a fi ne young man who loved his family and had a bright future ahead of him.”

Harry Bains said his brother and wife told him there was nothing to indicate Arun was living a lifestyle that might put him in harm’s way.

Bains said whenever he saw Arun, he was “very nice, sweet, very respectful. He would go out of his way to help you out.”

Police are still investigating the series of shootings and the Integrated Homicide Investiga-tion Team is working to solve the murder of Bains.

Police are asking anyone with information about any of these shootings or the activities of any of the people involved to contact the Surrey RCMP or the Delta Police, or to remain

anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Police have also set up a special tip line at 604-915-6566.

Parents are often mistaken as to when their kids get steered off course and land in a gang lifestyle, according to a local expert.

“People think that all of a sudden when their kids are 18, they become gang members,” according to Rob Rai, assistant manager of the Safe Schools Department for the Surrey School District.

“Rubbish,” he said.Th e seed is planted early

“because of all kinds of things are missing in their lives from the age of three.”

For example, parents are often working 10 to 12 hours a day to make ends meet.

“Parents are working all day to build a bright future for their children, but at what cost?” Rai asked.

“Maybe if I act out at school, somebody will pay attention to me there,” Rai said of some youths’ reaction.

If needs aren’t met at home or school, he said the problem often shifts to the police, when kids start acting out in public.

Rai said today’s parents have to be acutely aware of what their kids are up to.

Parents should not only be watching their children, but the friends their kids choose to hang out with as well.

Th ey should be on the phone with other parents regularly to touch base about their kids’ activities.

Often youth will say they are going to stay at the other friend’s house, when neither occurs, and they end up in a park or elsewhere.

Rai acknowledges that parenting today is harder than it was 18 or 20 years ago.

“When we used to go out, back in the day, whoever you con-nected with on the telephone at home,” that’s who you would go out with, Rai said.

Now with smartphones and computers, the connections continue 24 hours a day – often with friends of friends who they don’t know.

Decades ago, youth would hear about a fi ght that occurred fi ve days after the event, Rai said. Now, kids hear a fi ght is about to happen, and they’re expected to be there as back-up.

“All of the sudden, you’ve got

20, 30, 40, 50 kids there,” Rai said.

He does say the mystique around the gang life is begin-ning to wear off .

Youth are now starting to say, “I’m out, I don’t need to get shot,” Rai said.

He notes it helps to discuss with kids who are fearless about gang life what it will mean to their family to lose a son or a brother.

“By and large, most kids get it,” Rai said.

One of the compo-nents of prevention is the complement of police offi cers assigned to Surrey Schools, known as School Liaison Offi cers.

Th ere are current-ly 10 for Surrey, which is the largest school district in the

province.Rai said in a perfect world,

he’d love to have one for every school. Th ere are 120 schools in the city, with 70,000 stu-dents.

Th e city has 34 new RCMP offi cers that have arrived this year, and another 100 on order for this year.

“If the powers that be dedicate some of those to my schools, I would be incredibly happy,” Rai said.

TRACY HOLMES

Th ursday (April 23) was a big day for Bert Paquet. It was likely the last day he’ll ever work in B.C.

And he admits it comes with mixed feelings.

Th e corporal has been the face of Surrey RCMP since the fall of 2012, when he began what was to be just a two-week stint handling the detach-ment’s media section.

Two-and-a-half years later, he’s leaving to take command of media/communications for the RCMP’s “D” Division – the province of Mani-toba – which is head-quartered in Winnipeg.

“Our friends were really good to us over Christmas, knowing where we were going,” he chuckled last week, of the ribbing that fl owed freely from the moment he shared word of his new address. “We received a lot of toques, mittens and mosquito spray.”

Paquet, 50, acknowledged he is ending his tenure in Surrey in the middle of what could be described as chaos, as the city – police and citizens alike – struggles to bring a peaceful end to a weeks-long drug turf war that, just 10 days ago,

claimed its fi rst life.“It has been a challenge,” Paquet

said of the spree of gun violence. “It’s comforting to see the reaction of the community and residents… because it means they have an interest. Th ey have a vested interest in safety of the community, in what is going on.”

As with a series of press confer-ences on the issue, a safety forum April 21 at Tamanawis Secondary was to also reiterate the role citizens have in helping to bring the situa-tion to a close, he said.

“Policing is a team eff ort and with-out the community, we don’t stand a chance,” Paquet said. “And that’s in most cases that we investigate.”

Paquet was not new to speaking for the RCMP when he stepped into the role in Surrey. Just over a year prior, he was spokesperson for the Coquitlam detachment, and before that, represented the Integrated Security Unit during the 2010 Olym-pics in Vancouver.

He described the latter as “one of the most satisfying and challenging duties” he has had since joining the Mounties in 1993.

Already barely able to make ends meet each month, she simply can’t aff ord to pay tuition.

“It’s really stressful,” she says. “If I can’t get an edu-cation… what is the hope for the next generation?”

In cutting the adult education funding to school districts, the province announced it will off er $7.5 million in grants to low-income adult students to help with tuition at colleges and universities.

Other existing adult education courses will contin-ue to be off ered by the Surrey School District, just not for students who’ve already graduated.

While the adult education sites at Queen Elizabeth Secondary (King George Boulevard and 94 Avenue) and Invergarry (88 Avenue and 127 Street) will remain in operation, the Newton Adult Education Centre (at Princess Margaret Secondary on 72 Ave-nue at 128 Street) will be closed.

Th ere are about 4,000 full- and part-time adult education students in Surrey, about a third of whom are aff ected by the funding change.

Th e government estimates it will save $9 million per year as a result of the cut.

SHEILA REYNOLDS

Th e Delta Board of Education has joined a chorus of school trustee voices across B.C asking the province to with-draw proposed legis-lation they say erodes their rights as elected offi cials.

Bill 11, the Education Statutes Amendment Act, was introduced last month and includes provisions that broaden the minister of educa-tion’s authority to issue administrative direc-tives or appoint special advisors if deemed

necessary. It also allows the government to designate the service providers districts use.

An April 22 letter to Education Minis-ter Peter Fassbender from the Delta Board of Education stresses that trustees have been democratically elected to “safeguard the re-sources” of the district.

“We must therefore speak against any legislation that would alter this mandate by placing an unelected Special Advisor, who is not accountable to our community, in front of our Trustees’ ability to serve our community,” wrote Laura Dixon, chair of Delta’s board.

Dixon was disap-pointed no consultation on Bill 11 took place, as per a recently signed co-governance MOU (memorandum of un-derstanding) between school boards and the education ministry.

Th e B.C. School Trustees Association passed a motion at its AGM last weekend also asking that the sections of Bill 11 that override the author-ity of local education

boards be withdrawn.Th e Surrey Board

of Education has also asked for Bill 11 to be rescinded.

Fassbender did not re-turn calls, but emailed a statement to Th e Lead-er Th ursday saying the 60 B.C. school districts deliver similar services and there are “realistic opportunities” reduce overhead through shared services.

He said the amend-ments in Bill 11 make it clear school boards will have authority to make agreements with other boards or other public sector groups and that they’ll continue to have “considerable auton-omy” over how they achieve savings.

“However, to maxi-mize the benefi ts for the entire sector, we also want to make it clear that all districts need to participate in fi nding effi ciencies and – if and where a clear business case shows it makes sense – the Min-ister of Education has the ultimate authority to require a board to participate in a specifi c supply arrangement,” Fassbender said.

Th e Vancouver media’s frantic coverage of the Great Bunker Spill of 2015 has just about run out of fuel.

By late last week, the usually serious Globe and Mail was reduced to quizzing a U.S. expert who had at fi rst told the CBC he thought the spill response was pretty good. But then he heard that it might have taken up to 12 hours until the leaking grain ship was completely under control, which would be not so good.

Th is U.S. expert admitted he has not “followed the Vancouver spill very close-ly,” and was basically speculating. But that’s OK, because the main purpose of this media frenzy is to feed the estab-lished narrative that the Harper govern-ment is gutting the Coast Guard while trying to ramp up heavy oil shipments to Asia.

Yeah, that makes sense. A University of Toronto philosophy prof recently suggested that Stephen Harper likes war. Maybe he likes oil spills too.

A retired captain from the now-closed Kitsilano Coast Guard station became the latest of a series of disgruntled

ex-employees and union bosses to serve as the media’s go-to critics. He contra-dicted Coast Guard management at every turn, dismissing them as political appoin-tees with little operational experience.

His claims about loss of spill response capability from Kitsilano are question-able at best. Th ere was no talk of spill response when Kitsilano closed two years ago, because it was a search and rescue station.

Former B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair held almost dai-ly news conferences as it closed. People are going to drown, warned a parade of union spokespeople.

It’s been two years, and nobody has.Premier Christy Clark and Vancouver

Mayor Gregor Robertson were quick to summon TV cameras as oil-sheen angst spread through condo tow-ers. Th ey declared the Coast Guard response a failure before they had any real understanding of it. 

Unifor, the union representing Coast Guard employees, has vowed a full-scale election advertising attack on

the Conservatives this year. On federal budget day, Unifor protested the clo-sure of the Ucluelet Coast Guard ship monitoring station. Similar stations in Vancouver and Comox are also closing this year, replaced by a new monitor-ing system run from Prince Rupert and Victoria.

I asked Industry Minister James Moore, the federal minister respon-sible for B.C., if this is a reduction in service. He said 1970s-era ship tracking equipment is being replaced with a new system that has already been deployed on the East Coast, to improve safety.

“Th ese fears were also raised back in the ’60s and ’70s, when lighthous-es were de-staff ed,” Moore said. “I remember people saying, oh my God, this is going to be the end. And it turned out to be complete nonsense.”

Unifor operatives rushed to the me-dia again last week with dire news of a half-hour outage of this new system,

portraying this as evidence of a high-tech disaster waiting to happen. (Ships were told to monitor an old-school emergency radio channel for that uneventful half hour.)

What the union is really doing is ramping up its election propaganda, and intensifying eff orts to protect redundant positions that are being replaced by new technology.

Th ere was a similar media campaign last year targeting the consolidation of Veterans’ Aff airs into Service Canada offi ces. Th ere are serious problems with services to veterans, but union featherbedding would not help them.

Th e B.C. government is also intro-ducing digital technology, eliminating hundreds of paper-pushing jobs in the process, with a mostly realistic response from unions.

But in this federal election year, realism will be in short supply.

Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Th e federal budget, brought down by Finance Minister Joe Oliver last Tuesday, is more of a political document than an economic one. Th is isn’t sur-prising, with a federal election planned for this October.

Th e governing Conservatives have made a clear statement of their political philosophy in the document. It contrasts sharply with the campaign platform off ered up by the NDP, the Offi cial Opposition.

Meanwhile, the Liberals have yet to release their election platform, and were left mouthing platitudes about how the budget “caters to the rich.” Liberal leader Justin Trudeau made it clear he won’t support the budget.

Th e Conservative philoso-phy, as stated in the budget, calls for a multitude of tax breaks, particularly for fami-lies with children and seniors.

It continues the emphasis on tax reduction and credits that have been part of virtually ev-ery Conservative budget since the party was fi rst elected in 2006. It also continued the trend of making multi-year promises, but not funding them for years to come.

It is much in line with the approach taken by the late Jim Flaherty, fi nance minister from 2006-2014.

Th e Conservatives claim the budget is balanced, but it is only balanced because of a raid on the reserve fund and the sale of General Motors stock. Nonetheless, the party does believe in keeping revenue and spending roughly in balance, and it is clearly not a “big government” party.

Th e NDP, by contrast, has also been clear that its philos-

ophy calls for more govern-ment activity – particularly in the area of child care. Leader Th omas Mulcair has promised that an NDP government would institute $15-per-day for child care across Canada, at a cost of about $5 billion.

It also would reverse the Conservative plan which allows spouses to split income for tax purposes. Th e NDP decries this as a “break for the rich,” and is also critical of an increase to $10,000 in allow-able contributions to Tax Free Savings Accounts each year.

As voters prepare for plenty of political spin over the next few months, (to say nothing of intensive advertising cam-paigns), a focus on the basic philosophies put forward by each party will be helpful in clearing up the confusion.

Re: “NEB online map tracks pipeline trouble.”

Despite the fact that there are frequent pipeline spills, given the amount of oil that is run through them and how frequently they are operated, the amount spilled is not that signifi cant.

Although there are harsh environmental effects, one thing I think a lot of people don’t realize is that whether or not a pipeline is built, the oil will still get produced, and ultimately make its way to where it is demanded.

Without pipelines, the oil will simply get transported via trains or trucks.

If pipelines are built, it is actually estimated to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emitted during the trans-portation process.

In this sense, one could ar-gue that building the pipeline is a good idea.

Furthermore, there are many engineers working to ensure that leaks don’t occur.

Th e data shows that fewer leaks are happening as time moves forward, and it is therefore reasonable to assume that pipelines will be safer in the future.

Even now, oil pipelines are considered to be over engi-neered for their task.

I have no doubt that they are safe for use and effi cient in what they do.

As far as safety is concerned I think it is covered, however whether they are good for the community is a diff erent concern altogether.

I just received notification of a temporary tow yard coming next to the beautiful “old city hall” in Surrey (at Highway 10 and King George Boulevard).

Are you kidding those of us in Panorama/Sullivan who have waited for this oasis to blossom?

We need retail, not industri-al. Look at the slow progress of clean-up of car-related lots near the Pattullo Bridge and along north King George Boulevard.

There is crazy development of nice townhouses and con-dos from King George to 152 Street and 56A to 64 Avenues.

This corner should be the terminal point for SkyTrain to South Surrey-White Rock with a constant shuttle to the

South Surrey Park-and-Ride.How about relocating the

tow yard adjacent to the new city hall? Maybe we should

annex from 64 Avenue south with White Rock.

Frank Lee

Tow away your idea

Okay, I think I know where the money to fund the transit referendum “yes” cam-paign came from.

I went to the Surrey rec centre pool at 16655 Fraser Hwy.

I found it was closed for a movie shoot and then maintenance until April 22. I then no-ticed a sign stating the new pool in Guildford

was open. So off I went to check it out.It was like someone had jack-hammered

some large square holes in the fl oor of a warehouse and fi lled them with water.

Th e walls, ceiling and fl oors are stark white – not an inch of colour anywhere. Th e men’s change room is way too small, with one single toilet, and no shelves or hooks close to the

showers to hang or place your bag of clothes so you can keep an eye on them.

It gets better: Patrons are not allowed to walk on the bulkheads to cross from one side to the next. Walnut Grove pool next time and from now on. Big time fail.

Swimming plans are all wet

As I stand outside at 10:40 p.m., I listen to the same drug users in the darkest corner of Whalley Ball Park as I do every night.

I do not understand why park lights were never installed at this corner of the park.

Th e drug users come and throw their needles over the fence where I live (I live in

a townhouse complex right beside the park), as do many small children.

I have noticed the city has installed pay parking meters along 105 Avenue between University Street and King George Boule-vard.

Th ese were placed in the most well-used street for drug users

and prostitutes and will probably be van-dalized every half hour.

Maybe the city could install lights in the darkest part of the park to keep the people living around there a little safer instead of installing pay parking meters in the worst street in Whalley.

“Just the quality of people on the unit, just the magnitude of the operation, of securing visitors, athletes, offi cials, over several weeks, during an era where the big sports, the major events, are known to be targeted by domes-tic terrorism, or just terrorism, period.”

In the past two-and-a-half years, Paquet has spoken to countless incidents Surrey police have faced – good, bad and ugly.

He was just a couple of months into his role when the South Surrey community was shocked by the hit-and-run of two women who were jogging across 152 Street at the intersection of 32 Avenue. Traffi c-camera video from the scene captured the impact and – about 25 seconds

later– a fi gure on foot approach-ing the women and leaning over them before rapidly departing.

Police released the video to the public, appealed for information and three days later, announced the arrest of a 53-year-old Surrey man and the seizure of a BMW X1. A trial is set for September.

Paquet – noting the incident generated international interest – credited the co-operation between police, media and the community with the fi le’s speedy resolution.

“Th at was... probably one of the most prominent ones and one of the most satisfying as well.”

It’s no secret that much of what police deal with over the course of their careers isn’t pretty – death, destruction, senseless violence and profound grief, to name a few.

“It’s often described as 99 per cent boredom, one per cent sheer

terror,” Paquet said.Paquet said his wife of 11 years,

Pam, off ers support “that has no price, no value,” when it comes to dealing with the tougher side of the job.

“She always pushes me to talk about my days, whether good or bad, and specifi cally if they were bad,” he said.

Born in Montreal, Paquet said he never gave policing a second thought until he, by fl uke, sat next to two “C” Division offi cers while attending night school at the University of Montreal in 1993. Th ey shared “endless” sto-ries of their careers and deploy-ments and the seed was planted.

Paquet called the recruiting centre the next day.

“Best decision I’ve ever made,” he said.

Paquet starts his post in Winni-peg next week.

April is Auto Crime Enforcement Month and, while auto crime continues to be a problem across the Lower Mainland, Surrey RCMP has a team dedicated to identifying, tracking, and incarcerating the city’s most prolifi c auto crime off enders.

Since January 2015, the Surrey RCMP’s Auto Crime Target Team (ACTT) has helped arrest more

than 75 people for auto theft and auto theft-related crimes with over 240 charges being laid. Police say the key to the team’s operation is that most crooks don’t know they’re being watched until it’s too late.

“Most people think our only line of defence against auto crime is the Bait Car Program,” said ACTT Cpl. Mike Spencer, who has worked in the auto theft fi eld for over 10 years. “While we do utilize these deter-rents from time to time, there are a multitude of other overt and covert techniques we use to gather intelligence and conduct our enforcement eff orts.”

If you have any information about the individuals on the RCMP most wanted list, please contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or if you wish to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or go to www.solvecrime.ca

KEVIN DIAKIW

Th e parts needed for the safe fl ight of Paul Deane-Freeman’s ultralight were on the ground at the airport the morning the craft crash-landed on a busy Delta highway.

Deane-Freeman has publicly said his ultralight plane stalled before he landed it on Highway 91, north of 64 Avenue, at about 6:30 p.m. last Wednes-day (April 22).

Deane-Freeman, 49, was taken to hospital with an injured rib. Mi-raculously, there were no other injuries.

“It was rush-hour traffi c, so the possi-bilities were very big as to what could have happened, but he [the pilot] was able to bring it down in a fairly con-trolled yet hard land-ing,” said RCMP Cpl. Peter Sommerville. 

Th e highway’s southbound lanes were closed and traffi c was diverted around the area until about 9 p.m. Wednesday.

Arnold Klappe, owner of King George Airpark, where Deane-Freeman took off that morning, told Th e Leader he had warned the new pilot several times not to fl y his ultralight.

Problems with engine overheating had to be addressed before it was safe to fl y, Klappe said.

“Paul and I and my mechanic had discus-sions about the aircraft not being safe to fl y,” Klappe said Friday. “We felt enough con-cern to actually give it to him in writing … a couple of weeks ago.”

A copy of that letter is being sent to Transport Canada and the National Transpor-tation Safety Board, Klappe said.

“On Tuesday, he was playing around with the engine. I told him specifi cally ‘do not fl y it.’” Klappe said. “On Wednesday, the day of the accident, I was gone most of the day and he chose to go fl y it.”

Parts ordered to address the cooling system, Klappe said, had arrived at the airport the day Deane-Freeman took the aircraft up.

Klappe said he has since told Deane-Free-man to get his aircraft off King George Airpark and not to come back.

Klappe said in 35 years operating the fi eld, it’s the fi rst time he’s felt it necessary to

tell someone to leave and not return.

Klappe points out that fl ying ultralights is an extremely safe sport, noting that even during the rare times there is a problem, the low airspeed and steel cage makes injury ex-tremely uncommon.

Deane-Freeman did not return repeated phone calls from Th e Leader.

He told CBC News “in the manual it says [these engines can be] subject to sudden stoppage, so I guess they mean that. Th ey are not certifi ed for use in any kind of aircraft, it says.”

Actually, the manual for the Rotax 582 (the engine Klappe says was in that plane), says stalling isn’t an issue specifi c to their engines.

“Any engine may seize or stall at any time. Th is could lead to a crash landing and possible severe injury or death,” the manual states. “For this reason, we recommend strict compliance with the maintenance and oper-ation.”

Th e Delta Police is assisting the National Transportation Safety Board in its investiga-tion.

A major drug and al-cohol recovery facility has offi cially opened in Newton with much fanfare.

On Friday, the $80-million John Volk-

en Academy celebrated its offi cial opening in the midst of local pol-iticians and renowned Indian author and public speaker Deepak Chopra.

Th e Newton facility houses 40 men and women who are suf-fering from alcoholism and addiction and are committed to spend-ing two years at the facility.

Th e organization boasts a plan to teach

people how to become functioning members of society as they re-cover from addiction.

Th e facility is the brainchild of John Volken, who started a furniture chain called United Furniture Warehouse in 1980, and by 2001 had a company with $200 million in annual rev-enues.

Volken sold that and began his dream of philanthropy called Welcome Home.

He started with a 20-bed facility in Seattle and two small homes in Surrey.

Welcome Home has not always been so wel-come at its 6869 King George Blvd. location.

Liz Walker, of the Newton Community Association, has said for years that the facili-ty is poorly located.

She hasn’t changed her mind about that.

“I would have liked to have seen Welcome Home in an area that wasn’t so inundated with social services,” Walker said Th ursday.

Volken, who is a recent recipient of the Dalai Lama’s Humanitarian Award, said he prefers getting his hands dirty rather than just giving money to causes.

It’s what fundraisers call “venture philan-thropy,” a growing trend among business executives to exercise greater control over how their money is spent.

Volken also gets an emotional boost out of doing the work.

“I enjoy watching the progress,” Volken told Th e Leader when he was just getting started. “It’s not a sacrifi ce to me, I thank the heavenly God every day for the privilege of doing it.”

Metro Vancouver will keep paying contrac-tors to cut open bags of doggie do that are deposited in bins in Metro regional parks so the excrement can be treated as sewage instead of going in the garbage to be landfi lled or incinerated.

It started as a pilot project more than three years ago but offi cials now say it will continue on a perma-nent basis, either as a specifi c contracted service or as part of a broader future contract for hauling garbage and recyclables.

Metro paid New Westminster-based Scooby’s Dog Waste

Removal Service $60,000 last year to retrieve 97,000 kilo-grams from regional parks, cut open every bag, and dump the waste in with the sew-age at the Iona sewage treatment plant.

Th e dog waste that piles up is a “very big” environmental issue for regional parks, ac-cording to Metro parks operations manager Gudrun Jensen.

It harms vegetation and exposes people and other animals to bacteria and parasites, she said.

“We have lots and lots of people that come with their dogs and that generates an enormous amount of dog waste,” Jensen said.

Nor does the region want it going in trash bins.

“It’s not strictly kosher to put into the solid waste stream because it is a bio-haz-

ardous material. What we’re trying to do is lessen that load a little bit.”

Metro is amending its violation enforce-ment bylaw to require dog walkers to dispose of bagged feces in the designated dog waste receptacles where avail-able instead of in the garbage or elsewhere. Violators will face a $125 fi ne.

Jensen said too many people aren’t using the red bins, hundreds of which are now in place in regional parks and trails where dogs are often walked.

“Our staff still fi nd people leaving neatly tied up bags of dog poo on the side of the trail or hanging off the trees,” Jensen said. “You can’t just bag it up and leave it at the side of the trail or wing it off into the trees. You have to actually put it into a recepta-cle.”

Metro has estimated the 2.5 million dogs that visit its regional parks generate 500 tonnes of dog waste a year, so the recovery rate so far may be less than 20 per cent.

Jensen acknowledged much of it still ends up in the garbage.

“I wish more peo-ple would just fl ush it down the toilet,” Jensen added. “It would make life much simpler.”

Some local munici-palities have consid-ered paying for dog waste removal from their civic parks but none have yet signed on with Scooby’s.

Company owner Bill Droeske argues cities should also provide separate bins because the disposal of dog excrement is banned from the landfi ll.

“Th at poop is going into the landfi ll,” he said. “Even though it’s against the law, the cities do it.”

Droeske has one staff worker who cuts open dog waste bags and puts them in a tanker truck that goes to the treatment plant.

Cities also turn a blind eye to other sources of excrement

in the garbage, he said.“Th ere’s probably a

lot more baby poop

going in the landfi lls in diapers, taking up a lot more space, but nobody seems to care about that.”

No caching stashes

Metro is also moving to ban people from stashing their stuff in Metro regional parks.

A new bylaw amend-ment prohibits anyone from leaving non-re-gional park property in a regional park and vio-lators face a $125 fi ne.

Too many people were stashing items such as kayaks for their own later use, Jensen said, creating a liability risk.

“It’s not appropriate because we can’t con-trol the safety of those things,” Jensen said.

Other examples include coolers and barbecues locked up at beaches, she said, as well as bikes stashed in the woods along trails.

She stressed the aim is to stop overnight caching of equipment, not to deter people from riding a bike in a park and locking it up while they swim at a beach or hike on a trail.

Port Metro Vancouver is reviewing its options after a Federal Court judge found its new licensing system that sharply re-duced the number of permitted container truckers was imposed unfairly.

Th e new licence system cut up to 600 trucks from the system in January, result-ing in layoff s of drivers, and spawning a lawsuit that challenged the port’s point-based system for deciding the winners and losers.

Th e methodology gave an advantage to companies that applied early and was “pro-cedurally defi cient and profoundly unfair,” Judge Robert Barnes found.

New licences were part of the reforms

fl owed from a month-long container truckers strike last year and aimed to end rampant under-cutting caused by too many trucks competing for business.

“While we endeavoured to apply the selection process in as fair a method as possible, with respect to certain applica-tions, the Federal Court of Canada has disagreed,” the port said in a statement.

It’s unclear whether the port will appeal the ruling, which directs the port to issue licences to late-fi ling companies that other-wise met the same standard as the early fi lers.

Control of truck licensing is supposed to shift to a provincial trucking commis-sioner, who has held off exerting authority pending the outcome of the court case.

“It creates more chaos,” said Gavin McGarrigle, B.C. area director for Uni-for, which represents some unionized

truck drivers.“It looks like there’s going to be a lot

more truckers coming back into the sys-tem. Th e whole situation is a mess.”

He blames Port Metro Vancouver and also the provincial government, which he

said supported the new system but has not delivered on all of its commitments, partic-ularly rate changes that were promised in January.

Unifor and aff ected companies protested the licence reforms and are now supposed to be starting contract negotiations, Mc-Garrigle said.

“We don’t know where we stand in terms of the rates for the law. And we don’t know how many truckers are going to be out there. So it’s pretty hard to bargain a new collective agreement when you’ve got this chaos.”

He said the union supports a last-in-fi rst-out system where any truck licence reduc-tions are done on the basis of seniority.

B.C. Trucking Association president and CEO Louise Yako said it’s important to the entire port supply chain to clarify the uncertainty left by the ruling.

Th e B.C. government released details of its pre-election property sales Th ursday, show-ing it came out with more money overall than appraisals or B.C. Assessment Authority values forecast.

Opposition critics called for the disclo-sure after obtaining government memos that showed a rush to make the deadline for the 2013-14 fi scal year, where the B.C. Liberals campaigned on a balanced budget tabled before the 2013 election.

NDP critics high-lighted property in Coquitlam that sold for millions less than an appraiser estimated it would get.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the 14 Burke Mountain properties are an “out-lier” in the dozens of land sales that closed during the fi nance ministry’s budget-bal-ancing program.

Later appraisals by the City of Coquitlam identifi ed steeper ter-rain and streams with protective setbacks that limited their de-velopment, decreasing their market value by 20 per cent overall.

Development property south of the

B.C. legislature beat its appraisal by $13 million, selling for $34 million to help the gov-ernment meet a $350 million target to end the fi scal year.

A former hospital site in Surrey was sold for $20.5 million, $3 mil-lion less than its B.C. Assessment Authority value for property tax purposes.

Finance ministry records showed the sale price was midway between two apprais-als, one commissioned by the government and the other by the buyer.

De Jong said surplus Crown property is sold every year, with about 1,500 properties disposed of in the last 30 years.

Th ey will continue, but there won’t be another identifi ed program in future bud-gets now that post-re-cession defi cits have ended, he said.

NDP finance critic Carole James said there was an obvious rush to meet minis-try targets for asset sales, and some could continue to be sold below market value without the public knowing.

Many of the surplus properties are school sites, and there are other transactions with municipalities.

Researchers have found high levels of toxic fl ame retardants in Lower Mainland raptors, including one Cooper’s hawk in Lang-ley with the highest levels of the contami-nant ever recorded in a wild bird.

Th e average concen-tration of PBDEs, a fl ame retardant used on furniture, elec-tronics and carpets, averaged 1,873 parts per billion in the livers of 15 raptors tested in the Lower Mainland, and that reading hit 197,000 in the case of the Langley hawk.

Th e birds tested be-tween 2000 and 2009 had all died from being hit by cars or similar trauma.

Lead researcher Kyle Elliott, from McGill University, says more species are adapting to urban areas, where they encounter higher

levels of chemical pol-lutants, which can then bioaccumulate in top predators. Hawks, for example, eat starlings that often feed on garbage.

Elliott said it’s impossible to say the ultra-toxic hawk was contaminated by the waste transfer station in Langley – a scenar-io Metro Vancouver offi cials doubt because garbage there is swiftly compacted, giving birds little access – but he suspects avian access to garbage is part of the overall problem, whether it’s via landfi lls, dumpsters or bagged garbage at the curb.

“Th ere were very high levels across the entire Lower Mainland,” he told Black Press.

“We do know these brominated fl ame retardants are often associated with human refuse. And starlings have 15 times higher levels near the Burns Bog landfi ll as com-pared to other sites in the Lower Mainland.”

Elliott said the PBDE levels found in Cooper’s hawks in the

Lower Mainland were higher than found in any other study else-where.

Th e Langley hawk, found dead in 2002, showed no signs of emaciation or sickness but had PBDE levels 100 times higher than levels known to decrease thyroid levels in eagles and suppress the immune system in kestrels, Elliott said.

Th e fi ndings were presented in a research paper in the journal Science of the Total Environment.

More research is underway to gauge the sources and eff ects of chemicals like PBDEs

on a breeding group of Cooper’s hawks in the Metro Vancouver area.

Th e Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society (OWL) in Delta often takes in injured raptors found near the Vancouver landfi ll in Delta with injuries or infections that defy explanation and make treatment challenging, according to bird care supervisor Martina Versteeg.

“We defi nitely think it has something to do with human waste,” she said.

“We see birds come in with infections, infl ammation, pus – all these things – and the

test results often come back sterile. So what is it? Is it the chemicals or fl ame retardants doing it?

“One time we had an eagle that coughed up the handle of a wom-en’s razor,” Versteeg said. “It was pink so it looked like a piece of fi sh. And if they’re fi ghting over it they may just swallow it real quick and go on their day. She came here and coughed that up.”

Use of PBDEs was restricted several years ago but old products continue to end up in landfi lls so the legacy chemicals can have a lingering eff ect

A hazardous waste processing facility pro-posed to be built next to the Fraser River in Chilliwack should be subjected to a provin-cial environmental

assessment, Metro Vancouver regional district directors say.

Th e regional board is expected to pass that recommendation from its climate action com-mittee after concerns were raised about the potential risk to down-stream communities in the event of a spill.

Burnaby Mayor Der-ek Corrigan said the Chilliwack location of the proposed Aevitas recycling plant within 200 metres of the Fraser presents serious risks that require a detailed environmental review.

“My initial reaction was this is something people would have done in the 1950s,” Corrigan said. “Why would you do this there given all the other potential locations?”

Th e plant would recycle metal, glass and mercury from light bulbs and remove PCBs from transformer oil for re-use but the prospect has stirred up fi erce opposition in the Fraser Valley.

Th e province is considering an envi-ronmental assessment but has fi rst directed Aevitas to engage in more public consulta-tion.

Corrigan said he’s concerned more con-sultation will take the place of a full review.

Chilliwack city coun-cil has agreed to the project in principle and rezoned the land, but a fi nal approval decision rests with the environ-ment ministry.

A new poll has found near-ly three-quarters of Metro Vancouver residents think the region should be reorganized into fewer municipalities, but there’s no agreement on how far any amalgamation attempt should go.

Just 14 per cent of those surveyed by the Angus Reid Institute supported merging all

24 local governments into a sin-gle Metro Vancouver super-city, while 26 per cent would keep all the existing municipalities, and the rest are split between other options to redraw boundaries.

Th e survey found 33 per cent think two to fi ve cities could serve the region well, while 13 per cent said it would take six to 15 and another 15 per cent suggested 16 to 23.

As for how regional govern-ment should work, 41 per cent support the current system of electing local mayors and councillors, who then represent their municipalities at the Metro

Vancouver regional district board. Another 31 per cent preferred

a directly elected regional board that deals with select issues, but leaves most matters to local councils.

Pollsters said the results show little consensus and only mod-est appetite for change.

Residents of smaller and mid-sized cities within Metro Van-couver tended to be less-sup-portive of amalgamating municipalities than residents of Vancouver or Surrey.

Respondents were evenly split on whether policing should be regionalized.

Covington confi dent prior to NFL draft

RICK KUPCHUK

Th e next few days will be the biggest in the life of Christian Covington.

After playing three seasons of NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) football with the Rice Owls in Houston, Texas, the 21-year-old has declared himself el-igible for the National Football League (NFL) Draft.

And if the countless mock drafts on football websites – and reports posted by the NFL on its own site – are ac-curate, Covington will be among a handful of Canadians chosen. Just 30 Canadians have been drafted over the past three decades.

“I’m nervous, I’m anxious,” he admit-ted. “I want to get it over with and go back to football. But it’s a process, and you have to allow the process to unravel at its own pace.”

Covington is back in Surrey, at home with his parents, where friends and family will join him to watch this weekend’s draft.

“Th is is very much a good mental break,” he told Th e Leader Sunday, taking break from power-washing the driveway. “I fi nd myself at my most relaxed when I’m with my family.”

Th e fi rst round, with each of the 32 NFL teams making one selection, takes place Th ursday night. Th e second and third rounds are Friday evening, with rounds four through seven set for Saturday. Cov-ington admits it will be diffi cult to watch while waiting to hear his name mentioned, adding his father, Ca-nadian Football League Hall of Famer Grover Covington, is “kind of stressing out, too.”

“I’m watching. I’m gonna be right here at home,” Christian said. “I have family coming in from Winnipeg, from California, from Houston. Just to have family and good friends around me, nothing better than that.

“Hopefully it’s over quick. Realistically, I’m hoping to hear my name called Friday. If not, I

just get to have that time with my family for that much longer.”

Since he left for Rice University in 2011, his visits home have been few, and usually short.

His current stay ranks among the longest, and is a welcome break from academics and athletics, both of which he excelled at during his four years in Hous-

ton. Expected to receive

his degree in Kine-siology and Sports Medicine in December, Covington redshirted (practised, but did

not play) in 2011. He played in 12 games as a freshman in 2012, and in 2013 was a Confer-ence USA all-star while recording 59 tackles and four sacks on an Owls team which won the conference champi-onship.

Covington said the championship was what he will remember most about being an Owl.

“Not many players can say they’ve been on a team that’s a part of school history,” he said. “It was the fi rst one in 56 years, it was unbelievable.”

A knee injury limited his participation to just seven games last season, and has some critics wondering about his decision to enter the draft. Th e injury sidelined him for the fi nal fi ve games of the schedule, as well as the Hawaii Bowl on Dec. 24 in Honolulu.

“It was a hard deci-sion for me,” Coving-

ton admitted. “Going into the bowl game, it was my understanding I was probably going back to Rice for my fi fth year. But once I

was able to get away from football and school life, I took that time to come come and settle down, be with my family, and think about what’s best for me. I thought this was an opportunity to cap-ture a dream I’ve had since I was a little kid.

“I don’t regret my decision, I’m fully recovered. People told me, with my knee in-jury, I wouldn’t be able

to do anything for six months. I said to my-self I would be ready in three, and I was ready in three.”

Since the injury, he has had workouts with the Houston Texas, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions.

Should Covington achieve his goal of playing in the NFL, he will have followed a similar career path as his American-born father. Grover Coving-ton, a North Carolina native, travelled north of the border for a 10-year Hall of Fame career in Canada with the Hamilton Ti-ger-Cats. After settling in Surrey, he and wife Natasha are watching their Canadian-born son possibly heading south to play as a pro.

“It’s kind of funny to think about that,” Christian said, adding he never thought of the coincidence.

“It’s kind of ironic.”

NICK GREENIZAN

Every time Douglas Cannon hears a 17-year-old midget player announce that it’s his last year play-ing hockey, it breaks his heart.

Cannon – like many others, to be sure – believes hockey is a game that can be played for a lifetime, but as players “age out” of the mi-nor hockey system, many quit the game altogether.

And while some will pick up the sport later as adults, Cannon feels it’s important to bridge that gap between midget hockey and adult leagues.

It’s why he and others at Semi-

ahmoo Minor Hockey are aiming to revive the association’s juvenile division, for players aged 18-20.

Semi has not iced a juvenile squad since the 2010/11 season, though other nearby associations – in Cloverdale, Langley – have teams, on which a few former Semiahmoo juvenile-aged players have played in recent years, in lieu of a Semi-based team.

Semiahmoo aims to have at least one juvenile team ready for the 2015 season this fall.

“My primary goal is to stop kids from saying, and believing, that it’s their last year of hockey,” Cannon explained. “It’s such a shock to hear that. It’s always baffl ed me that you play a sport all through elementary school and high school, and then just all of a sudden, you quit what

you love.“Semiahmoo has more than

enough (potential) players to get a team together, so it just made sense to try – let’s give these kids the option to keep playing.”

Cannon concedes there are other reasons, aside from a lack of play-ing options, that cause some to quit when they reach 17 or 18 years old. At that age, many players graduate

high school and head off to college or join the workforce, and their priorities change.

But in the midst of all those new life changes, Cannon – who played juvenile hockey for Semiahmoo in the 1970s – said continuing to play hockey can be a “welcome break from your new reality.”

“You’ve got all these changes go-ing on in your life, but once or twice a week, you can have something familiar, where not everything’s coming at you brand new,” he said.

Cannon said some of his best memories are from his days playing minor hockey, including juvenile.

“When I played, it was a very wel-come part of my life,” he said. “And if you ask any player what their best memories are, it’s the road trips and the friendships they made.”

Depending on numbers, it is possible that Semiahmoo could ice multiple juvenile teams – including, potentially, an A division squad – but for now, the initial focus will be on putting together a house-league/non-contact team.

“It would be up to the kids, whether they’d want to play ‘A’ or at the rec-level, but for now, just letting the kids know is the fi rst step,” he said.

“Adult hockey leagues are non-contact, so hopefully we can provide a transition between youth and adult hockey. Th is is the hockey you’re going to play for the rest of your life.”

For more information on regis-tration, visit www.semihockey.ca. Th ose who register before April 30 will save $100 on fees.
