Seized animals ready to re-home

By Jennifer LangSassy had a rough start in life but likes kind

pats and the odd cookie. Fiona is a person-able diamond-in-the-rough who is eager to please and loves to be the centre of attention.

A barn favourite, Lacey is a gentle pinto who is learning to lead, lunge and pick up her feet. And Kenzie is a golden pony, a 10-year-old riding mare who is quiet and laid-back.

With a little TLC and good homes, they’ll thrive – creating a happier ending to a sad story. Th e horses were among the 57 animals – many of them dogs – seized Aug. 11 from a rural property on the Surrey-Langley border. Th e animals were suff ering from severe mal-nutrition and had been living without proper access to food, water or shelter.

Th e horses were emaciated and suff ering from chipped, cracked and overgrown hooves.

But thanks to intensive care they’ve received

during the past month, they’ve recovered from malnutrition and medical issues and are now ready to be adopted into loving new homes.

All 16 horses are part of an upcoming adopt-a-thon in Cloverdale hosted by the BC SPCA’s cruelty investigations department.

“We would love to see them adopted by wonderful new guardians who will ensure that they will live the rest of their lives free from suff ering and pain,” BC SCPA Special Cst. Eileen Drever said.

Th ere will also be llamas, ducks, chickens, geese, and a donkey and goat at the adopt-a-thon who are currently in care at the BC SPCA farm and are also looking for new homes. Gregory is a miniature donkey who is about eight years old, gets along well with others and will make a phenomenal com-panion.

For a full description of all the animals fea-tured, please visit www.spca.bc.ca/news-and-

events/news/news-surrey-adoptathon.html.Th e horses will be available for viewing at

the adopt-a-thon. Applications from those in-terested will be accepted along with a sealed

bid. Th e event runs from noon to 4 p.m. Sept. 26 at the Surrey BC SPCA Education and Adoption Centre at 16748 50 Avenue in Cloverdale.

16 horses, geese, chickens and donkey nursed back to health

BC SPCALacey, top, has thrived with proper care after BC SPCA cruelty investigations staff seized 57 animals from a Surrey property in August. Lacey, Gracie, lower left, Gregory and Sassy are all healthy enough to fi nd new homes, and are featured at a Sept. 26 adopt-a-thon at 16748 50 Ave., noon to 4 p.m.

By Jennifer LangA motorist who failed to stop for police out-

side an elementary school in Cloverdale was ar-rested during a back to school safety campaign.

Surrey RCMP arrested a 34-year-old Surrey resident during the launch of the campaign, jointly organized by Sur-rey RCMP Traffi c Services and partners the Surrey School District, ICBC, and the Surrey Crime Prevention Society.

Th e woman was later tracked down by offi -cers and has been charged with two criminal driving charges – driving while disqualifi ed – plus two counts of driving while prohibited,

and one count of driving while suspended, a vi-olation that falls under the Motor Vehicle Act.

Th e driver was also fi ned for speeding in a school zone and failing to stop for police.

Th e “Th ink of Me” traffi c safety campaign resulted in 2,500 drivers receiving handmade warnings drawn by local students, along with 100 violation tickets and the arrest of a prohib-ited driver.

Th e fi ve-day campaign aimed to draw at-tention to traffi c and pedestrian safety in and around school zones during the fi rst week back to school. An average of two child pedestrians aged fi ve to 18 are killed, and another 42 chil-

dren are injured in car crashes every year in Surrey, according to the campaign.

Knock, knock, it’s a scamA stranger in distress knocking at your door asking for money? Don’t do it.

It could be a scam.Mounties in Coquitlam are reminding the public not to give money to

strangers at the door. Since July, they’ve investigated seven “tow truck” frauds. According to a Sept. 17 advisory, in most cases the suspect knocked on the vic-tim’s door, claiming to need money for a tow truck aft er being in a car accident. Th e suspect was allegedly able to defraud a number people using this method, prompting police to issue an alert.

“If people come to your house and ask for money for a tow truck or oth-er charitable donations, verify their claims fi rst before giving them anything,” Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said. Legitimate canvassers have no prob-lem showing people their credentials or work identifi cation, he added.

If someone asks for money to pay for a tow truck, Chung advises off ering to help them by off ering to call police on their behalf. Do not give them cash.

To report a fraud or fi nd out more information, contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca.

Up and running for Terry FoxBOAZ JOSEPH / BLACK PRESS

Thea Hill and her son Rory, 2, warm up for the Terry Fox Run at the Cloverdale Legion on Sept. 20. The event, supported by 184 runners and 66 volunteers, raised $17,210 for the Terry Fox Foundation. This year marks the 35th anniversary of Fox’s Marathon of Hope.

Minimum risesB.C.’s minimum wage

has risen 20 cents to $10.45 an hour, the fi rst annual increase since the provincial govern-ment tied it to the B.C. consumer price index. It’s the fi rst increase since 2012. For restau-rant and pub servers, the minimum wage ris-es from $9 to $9.20. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond has said the discount from the general mini-mum wage will remain at $1.25 to account for income earned in tips.

B.C. Federation of Labour president Irene Lanzinger said by the end of 2015, B.C. will have the second low-est minimum wage in Canada. She said Seattle will reach $15 an hour by 2017 and Alberta by 2018.

Th ere’s already been a fl ood of online com-ments at CloverdaleReporter.com to a story that’s in today’s Reporter (See “Truck park planned near salmon river,” page 6).

Here is a sample of reaction:

Why destroy nature?Why do all the beautiful, giving parts of

our communities always get taken away? Why do we keep destroying nature?

We need these areas to clean the air and sustain life to the animals that are being squeezed out of the other areas. Let us keep some areas to remind us of what nature re-ally is.

Debby Davey

Bad locationDisgusting! I understand the need for a

place for the trucks, but must they choose the worst possible location? What do these councillors know of ‘Stewardship’?

Th ey show absolutely no respect for the land.

Shame!Sybil Rowe

NO NO NO.Natalie Saunders

It must be stopped. Of all the areas in Surrey where they could place a truck park, [why] beside one of the last salmon rivers in Surrey?

Grant Brown

Alternative measuresFirst the city should make them clean the

garbage out of the truck parks they alreadyhave and then they should ban highwaytrucks inside city limits.

A fi ve-ton truck is plenty big to run freightaround the city. Th e only time you should belooking to park a highway truck is at a truckstop when you are going to use your sleeperfor something more than holding up traffi c.

Russell Clements

What a shame!Ken Granger

Party raises thousandsTo the editor;Th ank you so very

much for the wonder-ful article you posted in your newspaper in August about the White Rock Princess Party (“Calling all princesses and princes,” Aug. 7). 

We raised over $18,000 and had

a sell out of over 245 children this year.  Much thanks goes to our won-derful media for helping us sell out. 

All proceeds go to-wards the building on an All Abilities park that everyone in surrounding communities will be able to enjoy.

By Alex BrowneVeteran local politician Judy Higginbotham has

been confi rmed as the Liberal Party of Canada can-didate for South Surrey-White Rock in the Oct. 19 federal election, replacing Joy Davies, who resigned weeks into the campaign.

A member of Surrey city council for 25 years, Higginbotham served on more than 40 committees, and re-ceived many accolades, includ-ing Business Woman of the Year and the Solicitor General’s Crime Prevention Award.

Also a past provincial candi-date, she bowed out of munici-pal politics for a runs at federal offi ce in 1988, 2004 and 2008, but returned for a run as an in-dependent candidate for Surrey councillor in 2011.

Higginbotham was unanimously endorsed by the South Surrey-White Rock Liberal Electoral District Association.

Davies resigned following controversy over pro-marijuana views she expressed in past Face-book posts.

Truck park planned near salmon riverBy Kevin DiakiwA plan to build a truck parking lot beside

a fi sh-rich river has raised the ire of an environmental group dedicated to watching over the waterway.

Surrey is planning to pave the way for in-dustrial development in the South Campbell Heights area as part of a Local Area Plan (LAP) endorsed by council Sept. 14. Th e green space is 245 hectares (600 acres) – just over half the size of Vancouver’s Stanley Park.

It is home to a second-growth forest about 100 years old, an abundance of wild-life, and the Little Campbell River, which is a spawning area for spring, coho and chum salmon.

Th e plans are located just south of Camp-bell Heights Park, which also abuts the Little Campbell River, a project the David Suzuki Foundation called one of the worst examples in the province of salmon habitat destruction from development.

When the preparation of an LAP for the area south of 16 Avenue near 192 Street was endorsed by council, Coun. Tom Gill surprised many when he asked that an old gravel pit be turned into a truck parking facility.

He wants that done prior to the comple-

tion of the Local Area Plan.It’s unusual to push development ahead of

local plans for the area, but Gill told Black Press this is a special circumstance.

“Need,” Gill said when asked about the hurry. “Th ere is a need for truck parking throughout the city.”

Th ere are currently 1,300 big rigs parking illegally in Surrey, which impact residential areas and farmlands, he noted.

Th e truck park would allow truckers to wash their rigs, change oil and tires, and would include washroom facilities.

Gill said he would insist on the highest environmental standards so there would be no impact on the Little Campbell River.

But Phillip Milligan, president of the Little Campbell Watershed Society, is out-raged at the plan.

“We have a lot of concerns about that,” Milligan said. “How do they keep the effl u-ent, all the chemicals, all the brake fl uids, the antifreeze – how to they keep all of the oils out of the river?”

He said that section of the Little Camp-bell River is an important salmon spawn-ing area, home to spring, coho and chum salmon, as well as steelhead and cutthroat trout.

“Th e Little Campbell, believe it or not, is

one of the most productive steelhead rivers in the Lower Mainland,” Milligan said.

Because it’s a relatively small river, any pollutants entering the water could be dev-astating for the fi sh population.

A truck parking facility on that site could be catastrophic, he said.

“Th at’s the last thing that you want right beside the river,” Milligan said, adding he’s bothered by the speed at which Gill is advancing the idea.

“I don’t know why Gill is pushing this right now,” Milligan said. “We have this LAP program that everything has to go in order. Why would one council member be pushing to put forward a development like this?”

Surrey has struggled with a truck parking shortage for years. Gill has taken up the cause, pushing for more opportunities for truck drivers to legally park closer to home.

He insists there will be catch basins for oil and other measures to help prevent a spill in the Little Campbell River.

Staff will review the plan before it comes back to council.

Eventually the development plan would have to undergo a public hearing, where residents would have their say on it.

– Black Press

EVAN SEAL / BLACK PRESSPhillip Milligan, president of the Little Campbell Watershed Society, says creating a truck parking lot near the salmon stream is ill-advised.

New classrooms slow to come as school starts

By Sheila ReynoldsTh ere may not be any new classroom space ready

for the school year, but students – especially young-er ones – continue to fl ow into Surrey schools.

Early projections have the Surrey School District growing by approximately 285 students this year. While the number of elementary school children is rising rapidly – up 410 – the number of high school students is decreasing by about 125 from last year.

Despite the steady growth, there is no new school space opening this fall in Surrey – the largest school district in B.C. with about 69,500 students.

However, there are some school additions in the works in areas with rapid housing development and school overcrowding. Adams Road Elementary, in

the fast-growing Clayton neighbourhood, is in the midst of construction of a 10-classroom addition that’s slated for a spring 2016 opening. Th ere are 13 portables at Adams Road, though some are needed because of the construction.

Rosemary Heights Elementary in South Surrey, which has seven portables on site, should start to see a two-classroom addition begin to take shape later this month, as should nearby Morgan Elemen-tary. It’s hoped the extra space at both schools can be occupied by early in the new year.

Ground has yet to be broken for a much-need-ed high school in the Clayton North area, but it’s hoped the project will go to tender in October. A high school takes about two years to build, howev-er, leaving Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary and nearby Clayton Heights Secondary continuing to operate under severe space constraints. Th ere are 13 porta-bles at Lord Tweedsmuir and 10 at Clayton.

Both Lord Tweedsmuir in Cloverdale and Earl Marriott Secondary in South Surrey have more than 2,000 students and four years ago implement-ed fl ex schedules, forcing diff erent grades to start class at alternate times to accommodate the student overfl ow.

Th ough the district owns land in the Grandview area of South Surrey, the province has yet to provide funding to build a high school there that would take the pressure off Earl Marriott Secondary.

“Th e Earl Marriott crowding is beyond belief,” said Shawn Wilson, chair of the Surrey Board of Education, who’s received no indication that fund-ing is coming anytime soon. “Space-wise, it looks like we’re just going to endure until we get approval for Grandview.”

Th e total number of portable classrooms in Sur-rey this year is 274 – about the same as last year.

Sullivan Heights Secondary in Newton has 14, while Hazelgrove and Katzie Elementary schools have six and fi ve portables, respectively.

Th e situation is a little diff erent in Delta, where overall student enrolment is projected to rise only slightly. Estimates put the number of students headed to Delta at approximately 15,180, about 40 more than last year.

Space crunch persists as overcrowded schools welcome students

Surrey sets SAILNew to the Surrey School District this fall is the

SAIL program.SAIL – the Surrey Academy of Innovative Learn-

ing – was born from the Surrey Connect online learning program.

Surrey Connect (under the umbrella of SAIL) will continue to off er online courses for Grades 10-12.

However, SAIL will also off er three new acade-mies: one based in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM); one focussing on arts (STEAM) and another for athletics and performing arts excel-lence (APAX).

All the SAIL programs incorporate Makerspace, a shared student space that promotes peer learn-

ing and knowledge sharing, along with creativity, innovation and problem solv-ing through inqui-ry-based study. Th e Grade 8 academies combine home on-

line learning with face-to-face classes with teachers three to four days per week.

A wing at Brookside Elementary (8555 142A St.) has been transformed to host SAIL’s kindergarten to Grade 7 students. Bridging school and home learning, the program gives parents an opportunity to take a more active role in their child’s education and work with teachers to determine grade-appro-priate strategies and tools, again using the unique Makerspace environment.

Federal leaders spar on economy

Winning over a new fanBOAZ JOSEPH / BLACK PRESS

South Surrey’s Sadie Beukers, 4, giggles as she checks out three-year-old horse Buddy Weiser during Backstretch Day at Fraser Downs Raceway and Casino. The open house kicks off the new harness racing season starting Oct. 1.

By Tom FletcherTh e three contenders for the

prime minister’s offi ce clashed in their second debate last Th ursday evening in Calgary, where slumping oil prices and industry layoff s framed a dis-cussion on the economy.

NDP leader Tom Mulcair accused Conservative Stephen Harper of having a “rip and ship approach” to natural resource development, adding that Harper “put all of his eggs in one basket, and then dropped the basket.”

Harper said it is “simply false” that the oil industry’s woes rep-resent the entire economy, and overall it continues to perform well and produce more tax rev-enue despite a 40 per cent re-duction in small business taxes and other tax cuts.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau said his plan also includes re-duction in small business tax-es, and he emphasized he is the only leader willing to raise personal income taxes on the wealthiest one per cent of in-come earners, to fi nance a cut

for the middle class.Moderated by David Walms-

ley, editor of Th e Globe and Mail, the debate drew out dif-ferences between the three es-tablished party leaders on sev-eral topics.

Greenhouse gases:• Mulcair favours a cap-and-

trade system, but he avoided questions about what his sys-tem would cost the economy or consumers. Th e NDP will “enforce overarching sustain-able development legislation,” he said.

• Trudeau defended his position that each province should address emissions in its own way. He said Mulcair wants to impose a nation-al bureaucracy, including on B.C., which Trudeau called a world leader in use of carbon tax.

• Harper said carbon taxes are about revenues to govern-ment, not the environment. He said under his 10-year ad-ministration, Canada has seen a decline in emissions while

the economy grew, adding that his government invests $1 billion a year in alternative energy.

Infrastructure:• Trudeau defended his plan

to run three defi cits of up to $10 billion to fi nance roads and other infrastructure, with interest rates at a low ebb and Canada’s debt relative to the size of the economy declining.

• Mulcair called Trudeau’s plan “reckless and uncosted,” while the NDP calls for steady investment over 20 years.

• Harper said over 10 years, his government has spent 15 times what the previous Lib-eral government spent on in-frastructure. Th at includes re-cord defi cits for public works projects in the wake of the 2009 economic crisis.

Taxation:• Harper said the other par-

ties promise tax relief for small businesses, but their plans to increase Canada Pension Plan

and Employment Insurance premiums amount to a pay-roll tax 10 times as big as their small business tax cuts.

• Mulcair said he will raise income tax from 15 to 17 per cent for large corporations, but he believes individuals are paying their fair share now. Mulcair reminded viewers that Trudeau has supported Conservative budgets, and his fi rst vote in Parliament was to support Harper’s tax “give-away” to big business.

• Trudeau emphasized that his is the only plan that in-creases taxes for bank exec-utives and other wealthy in-dividuals as well as on banks, while reducing income tax on the middle class.

Green Party MP Elizabeth May wasn’t invited to the Globe debate, but chipped in with videos on her Twitter account. In one, May noted that there was no discussion of “investor state agreements” such as one with China that have intruded on Canada’ssovereignty.

Surrey’s biggest fed-eral election all-candi-dates’ forum is tomor-row night.

Federal candidates from fi ve Surrey ridings will debate the issues at the all candidates’ forum, hosted by the Surrey Board of Trade in partnership with the Fraser Valley Real Es-tate Board.

Business leaders, their staff , and members of the community are invited to meet the can-didates and hear their responses on a num-ber of topics, including crime, environment, industry and infrastruc-ture, international pol-icy, social policy, taxes and transportation.

Surrey – home to 16,000 businesses and almost 46 per cent of Metro Vancouver’s to-tal vacant industrial land – is a major strate-gic economic area that needs the attention of the federal government, Surrey Board of Trade CEO Anita Huberman said, adding the city’s projected population for 2016 is 551,653.

Th e SBoT wants to ensure members have the opportunity to en-gage with federal can-didates from all parties and consider their po-

sitions before casting their ballots on Oct. 19.

Th e forum runs from

6-8 p.m. Th ursday, Sept. 24 at Eaglequest Golf Course. It’s free, but

Metro garbage fee overhaul criticizedBy Jeff NagelA new shakeup of Metro Vancouver’s gar-

bage tipping fee system is being criticized as unfair.

Th e regional district will charge all mu-nicipalities or their contractors a fl at $100 a tonne next year to dump garbage collected from single-family homes.

But private haulers that pick up from multi-family buildings will continue to pay $80 a tonne – the lowest rate for large loads under the variable tipping fees that continue for commercial waste services.

Coquitlam Coun. Craig Hodge vot-ed against the change, calling it an unfair two-tier system.

“Out in the public, it looks like we’re fa-vouring privatized services over city ser-vices,” Hodge told directors at the Sept. 18 Metro Vancouver board meeting.

Th e $80 a tonne rate for loads heavier than nine tonnes is unchanged, but the tipping fee on loads less than one tonne will rise from $130 to $133 per tonne, and the fee on mid-size loads climbs from $109 to $112 per tonne.

Metro offi cials argued it’s fairer to charge a fl at fee on the municipal garbage so some cities don’t pay more than others under the variable rates.

Chief administrative offi cer Carol Mason said many cities had budgeted to pay the mid-size $109 per tonne rate, so the $100 rate is “better for many of them.”

A staff report indicates that may rise to $109 per tonne in 2017. An additional $5 transaction fee is charged on all loads.

Metro moved to the variable rates in April to give a deep discount to large commercial haulers who had increasingly been sending

waste to Abbotsford and then to a U.S. land-fi ll because of the relatively higher cost of using Metro transfer stations. All other us-ers have eff ectively had to subsidize the large loads.

Th e regional district had tried last year to ban the shipping of garbage out of the re-gion, but that was blocked by the provincial government.

Th e outfl ow of commercial waste has sharply declined thanks to Metro’s price-cut-ting strategy, as well as the higher cost of sending garbage to the U.S. due to the weak Canadian dollar.

Th at’s expected to mean Metro will avoid a $4.5-million defi cit previously projected on its waste operations. Th e regional district has also cut eight jobs and pared $2 million from the $90-million solid waste budget.

Directors say they can’t return to a consis-

tent tipping fee structure without once again spurring haulers to go elsewhere, depriving Metro of fees and the ability to enforce bans on the dumping of recyclables.

“It’s the best compromise that we can come up with,” Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said.

He blamed the province’s rejection of Met-ro’s waste export ban for creating the pricing “chaos.”

Several municipalities remain concerned that the higher tipping fees charged to peo-ple who take small loads of junk to a transfer station is causing more illegal dumping.

But Metro offi cials say there’s been no ob-served increase in illegal dumping, which they estimate at as many as 50,000 incidents a year, costing local cities an estimated $3 million to clean up.

Metro to use humour on sewer problem

Tipping fee ‘chaos’ in past year since province rejected regional district’s attempt to ban waste shipments to U.S.

By Jeff NagelMetro Vancouver

hopes toilet humour will be a better weapon than gross-out reality in persuading residents to stop fl ushing disposable wet wipes that clog the sewers.

Th e regional district is testing a new public

education campaign, rolling out in Pitt Meadows fi rst, that calls itself “your guide to adult toilet training.”

It features suppos-edly helpful tongue-in-cheek tip cards like “check for tp before you pp”, “bathrooms: not a good place for a

selfi e” and “don’t fl ush keys or cellphones” alongside a more fre-quent message: “never fl ush wipes.”

An informative video goes further, cautioning against fl ushing other “unfl ushables” – such as tampons, dental fl oss and hair – in fact anything other than the “fellowship of the throne: pee, poo and toilet paper.”

Jammed sewer pipes and pumps have been a growing headache and Metro says it’s already cost $100,000 so far this year to pry out twisted masses of the wipes that are oft en marketed as fl ushable.

But nobody wants to see the icky reality inside the sewers, said Metro corporate com-munications manager Larina Lopez, hence the decision to go funny.

Lopez said a survey found most wipes being fl ushed are personal hygiene wipes used by women in bathrooms, not baby wipes.

Women will therefore be the $85,000 cam-paign’s main target, she said, with ads in public washrooms and in other media, as well as a roving pink port-a-potty to emphasize the message.

If it works in Pitt Meadows – the regional district will measure if fewer wipes end up stuck in the pump station that serves that area – then expect the campaign to roll out across the region.

Meanwhile, the pitch can be found at never-fl ushwipes.ca.

Busy year atCritter Care

aided by walkathon

A Langley wildlife rehabilitation centre is asking visitors to take a walk on the wild side on Sunday, Oct. 4, in scenic Campbell Valley Region-al Park.

Th e event, which begins at 11:30 a.m., is Critter Care’s seventh annual walk-a-thon fundraiser, supporting the hundreds of orphaned and  in-jured animals brought to the facility each year.

Participants are invited to walk two or four kilometres, and they’re encouraged to bring along a few friends — human and canine alike.

Th e walk-a-thon will be followed by barbecue.Th is year was a particularly busy one for Critter

Care, which took in more than a dozen bear cubs from across B.C.

Nine cubs were released back to the wild in re-mote areas last June, but several more will remain through the winter to fatten up in the safety of Critter Care’s large enclosures.

“Th is has been an absolutely crazy year, very busy with so many animals,” said Critter Care founder Gail Martin.

Critter Care specializes in the treatment, care and release of sick, injured and orphaned mam-mals, including skunks, porcupines, beavers, raccoons, coyote, deer, otter, bobcats, lynx, bears, opossums and squirrels.

Th e society relies on donations from the public and some community grants to operate. Food and specialized formula is expensive and fundraisers such as the walk-a-thon go a long way to help cover those costs, said Martin.

Register for the walk online at crittercarewil-dlife.org/walkathon or phone Cathy at 604-202-5697. Early bird registration fee is $10 until Sept. 25. Aft er that it is $15, with children 12 and under paying $5.

Pledges and registration starts at 10:30 a.m. Th e walk will begin at the south end of the park.

Phone call scams see spike in CloverdaleGreetings to our

Cloverdale, Port Kells residents.

It is that time of year when kids go back to school and we turn our focus to ensuring that all students and pedestrians are safe in and around school zones. Recently, Surrey RCMP Traffi c Services and its partners, the Surrey School District, ICBC and the Surrey Crime Prevention Society, wrapped up another successful “Th ink of Me” traffi c

safety campaign. Th e fi ve day campaign resulted in 2,500 drivers being issued handmade school zone “warnings” from students, as well as 100 violation tickets issued and the arrest of a prohibited driver.

Th e campaign co-incided with the fi rst week back to school in order to draw attention to traffi c and pedes-trian safety, especially in and around school zones. On average, two child pedestrians aged 5 to 18 are killed in Sur-

rey every year. Please slow down!

Reports of phone call scams have spiked here in Cloverdale and in other locations in Canada. Over the last four weeks, our local district offi ce has dealt with over 85 occur-rences where unknown subjects are making intimidating and threatening phone calls to residents.

During these phone scams the caller usually identifi es himself as being from the Canada

Revenue Agency (CRA) and requests funds that are owed against a false debt. Th e caller is extremely forceful in their demands.

 During these phone scams, the caller may state that the victim owes money due to tax discrepancies and threatens arrest if the money is not paid.

Alternatively, the caller may state that the victim has immigration issues and payment is required. Th e victim is then advised to transfer

funds via an e-transfer to avoid arrest.

 Th ese phone scams can be devastating to victims. Recently, an extremely distraught lady and her son attended our district offi ce as she believed she was going to be arrested. 

Th e vast majority of these calls are made to middle aged adults and seniors. In some cases, the scam caller has called up to six times. Please inform your family, friends and neighbors of this scam and remind them not to give out personal

information over the phone.  Hopefully none of our local citizens have fallen victim to this scam and trans-ferred funds. Unfor-tunately this is not the case in other locations.

 On Saturday, Oct. 3,the Surrey RCMP, in partnership with 1-800-Shredding, will be hosting a Shred-a-Th on from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.. Th is event will be held at the Royal Ca-nadian Legion parking lot located at 17567 57 Avenue during the Clo-verdale Market Day.

Please take advantage of this free service and bring your documents for safe, on-site shred-ding. Th ere will also be crime prevention information to help you protect yourself and others from identity theft . Donations of cash or non-perishable food items will be gratefully accepted for the Surrey Food Bank.  Hope to see you there!

Giant goal: Malm eyes roster spot

Malm is expected to be in the lineup Friday when the Giants host Kelowna

By Gary Ahuja Th ere is no plan B for James

Malm.In his eyes, the one and only

goal is sticking with the Vancou-ver Giants for the 2015-16 hock-ey season.

“I haven’t even thought about that,” said the 16-year-old about where he would play should he fail to land a roster spot with the major junior hockey club.

“I am just working day-to-day, trying to get better and learn from the older guys on the team.”

Malm was a second round pick of the Giants in the 2014 WHL bantam draft and this is the fi rst year he is eligible to play in the league.

As of Monday morning, he was among 15 forwards still on the roster. But while a few cuts may be made this week, it’s expected Malm will be in the lineup Friday when the Giants begin regular season play with a home game against the defending WHL champion Kelowna Rockets.

Malm played the start of his minor hockey with the Langley Minor Hockey Association be-fore switching to the Burnaby Winter Club.

And so far, he is showing that he belongs at the highest level of junior hockey in Canada.

“First and foremost, he had a tremendous rookie camp — he led in almost every category of-fensively and carried that right into main camp,” said Giants coach Lorne Molleken.

“He is a skilled player who plays extremely well in tight areas or traffi c areas.

“Th e physical play through training camp never seemed to

bother him.”Malm, a fi ve-foot-nine,

180-pound forward, scored twice in preseason play and didn’t look out of place in a league for 16 to 20-year-olds.

“Just stepping on the ice and feeling the speed of the guys, that has probably been my biggest eye-opener so far,” said Malm, who scored the fi rst goal for the Giants in a 5-4 win over the Kelowna Rockets in a preseason game last Friday at the Langley Events Centre (LEC).

Malm is used to lighting up the scoreboard at the LEC, the home rink of the B.C. Hockey Major Midget League’s Valley West Hawks.

He led the Hawks last season with 20 goals and 66 points in 31 games, fi nishing second in the league scoring race by one point, despite playing seven few-er games than the winner.

Off ence has never been a prob-lem for Malm, a gift ed playmaker forward.

Th e question is how he will do against older and tougher com-petition.

“Right now we are just watch-ing to see if he can handle the pace of the game and to make sure he is strong enough to play at the Western Hockey League level, and to this point, he has done a tremendous job,” Mollek-en said.

Th is is the coach’s fi rst year behind the Giants bench but he remembers Malm from watching him during bantam leading up to the draft when Molleken was a coach with the Saskatoon Blades.

“Th e puck just seemed to fol-low him around the ice, so what

that tells me is that he puts him-self in proper position all the time to get the puck back or put him-self in a position to check a guy to try and get it back,” Molleken recalled.

“He is no diff erent than any other younger guy in that he needs to learn how to play away from the puck a little bit.”

Malm is confi dent in whatever role the team needs.

“I just want to come in and be an energy guy,” he said.

“Try and put up points, but that is really hard to do at this level, especially as a 16-year-old.

“I just want to come in and work my hardest and see where it goes.”

He is also hoping to use the ex-perience he gained last month to his advantage.

Malm was invited to a Hockey Canada U17 development camp in Calgary, one of several age-group evaluation camps held at the same time.

“It was unbelievable; I just learned so much,” he said.

“Talking to some of the guys that played on the world junior team, them talking about their experiences with Hockey Cana-da, was amazing.

“It really prepared me for play-ing on the Giants so far.”

Th e Giants are at home in the Pacifi c Coliseum for their fi rst two games of the season this weekend. Th ey host the Seattle Th underbirds at 7:30 p.m. Friday night, and on Sunday at 6 p.m. the defending WHL champion Rockets are the visitors.
