TransLink is switching to a one-zone fare at all times on buses as the solution that will allow it to roll out its long-delayed Compass card to the entire transit system.
It means a price drop of at least $1.25 for regular riders who now pay for two or three zones on certain bus routes that cross zone boundaries. Th e changes go into eff ect Oct. 5.
Passengers on the 351 bus from White Rock/South Surrey to Bridgeport Station in Richmond, for example, will pay $2.75 for an adult weekday fare, eff ective Oct. 5, instead of the $4 two-zone fare right now. If they continue on to Vancouver via Canada Line they’ll pay a total of $4 instead of $5.50 previously for three zones.
Th e same applies to riders of the 555 from Langley over the Port Mann Bridge to the SkyTrain in Burnaby.
And passengers will pay less on several other routes spanning at least two zones, including buses that cross North Shore bridges, that connect Surrey and Delta to Richmond or New Westminster, or that link the Tri-Cities or Ma-ple Ridge to SkyTrain.
TransLink will also abandon the planned Compass card tap-out requirement on buses.
Th at was a major headache for launching the smart card pay-ment system because tests found
many passengers forgot to tap out on buses and were then charged the maximum three zones when they only travelled one.
Bus service also stood to be crippled by delays on busy routes if every exiting passenger had to tap out, particularly if provider Cubic
failed to improve slow card detec-tion rates of the Compass readers on buses.
Th e change also addresses the fact bus riders on multi-zone routes would have been able to cheat the system and pay only one zone by tapping their card on the
exit reader early without leaving.Th e end of the zone system
applies only to buses. SkyTrain, SeaBus and West Coast Express passengers won’t get a break and they’ll still have to tap out. Multi-zone bus routes are relatively scarce – 80 per cent of riders move
only within one zone and won’t see any savings.
“I think that everything should be fair,” regular transit user Carla Griffi n said.

How much will riders save if they regu-larly take a three-zone trip that will soon cost only two zones?
A regular three-zone monthly pass user now pays $170 a month but will be able
to instead buy a two-zone month pass for $124 – a $46 saving that adds up top $552 per year.
Th at’s the scenario for many commuters to and from Vancouver from South Sur-rey by express bus and then the Canada Line, or from Langley via the Port Mann
555 express bus and then SkyTrain.A South Surrey or Langley rider whose
destination is currently a two-zone trip away – such as Richmond or Burnaby –

John Pothier hasn’t slept well in days because the City of Surrey has determined crews must cut up the road in front of his home throughout the night.
He says because of that plan, he hasn’t slept in days.Pothier, who works as a plumber by day, is mystifi ed why
the city didn’t decide to do the work during the day and detour traffi c on 160 Street, near 99 Avenue.
“Something like that is totally unacceptable,” Pothier said Th ursday. “Why can’t they do this in the daytime? Am I sup-posed to listen to this through the night for the next eight days?”
Fraser Smith, Surrey’s General Manager of Engineering, said Th ursday the evening work became necessary because the city is laying in 22 new water main connections across
160 Street near 99 Avenue between Aug. 4 and 12.Crews are cutting into the road, digging down a metre, and
laying down a single piece of pipe. Th ey are able to install four pipes a night.
It’s extremely noisy work.But to conduct work in the daytime would mean detouring
traffi c and cutting off water to local homes needing the new water connection.
Smith agrees it’s a less than perfect situation.“We believed it was the lesser of two evils,” Smith said. “I
apologize for that. I wish there was something we could do.”He noted the contractor likely won’t be happy putting in
night shifts either, as that usually ends up meaning higher labour costs.
Pothier said Friday he was able to get about fi ve hours sleep, but he’s just beat from the relentless noise.
He says he’s not one to complain.
“But this is ridiculous,” he said.
JEFF NAGEL
Metro Vancouver’s move last month to stage 3 water use restrictions, including a full sprinkling ban, is so far on track to get the region through a continued dry summer and fall.
Since July 22 the region’s total daily water con-sumption has been at or below 1.2 billion litres – a target that offi cials think can conserve enough water in reservoirs even if virtually no rain falls until November.
Prior to the stage 3 declaration on July 20, the region was using around 1.4 billion litres a day, and consumption had run as high as 1.7 billion on July 2.
“Th e last 13 days we’ve been under 1.2 billion, which is a really, really good thing,” said Metro utilities committee chair Darrell Mussatto.
“At this rate, it will be enough to make it all the way through until November when the big rains come.”
Th e North Vancouver City mayor said most residents across the region “are getting it” and not sprinkling their lawns.
A move to stage 4 restrictions does not cur-rently appear necessary and would only be a “last resort” if the water supply is depleted too quickly.
It’s helped, he said, that there have been several days of cooler weather with occasional showers, and some residents have been away on vacation.
In future years, Mussatto said, Metro may con-sider moving beyond stage 1 restrictions sooner as a preventative measure. Drier summers are a predicted consequence of climate change for B.C.

will soon be able to buy just a $91 one-zone month pass, saving $33 or $396 a year compared to the cost of a $124 two-zone pass.
Similar savings can be had by frequent riders of various bus routes
between Surrey/North Delta and ei-ther New Westminster or Richmond, or from Maple Ridge to SkyTrain in New Westminster.
But the biggest winners from the elimination of zone pricing on buses are likely regular riders of the 160 bus from Port Coquitlam Station to Vancouver or the 190 from Co-
quitlam Station to Vancouver.Those are two of only three routes
in the region that traverse three zones, so regular riders on those routes who now pay $170 for a three-zone monthly pass will see that cost cut to $91. That $79 a month saving adds up to $948 a year.

“Th ere are people out there who are strug-gling to get to work, making minimum wage to come home and feed their kids. It should be one rate for every-where.”
Griffin said if she has to work in down-town Vancouver, she would change herSkyTrain plans and leave earlier to take
buses there instead.But there are concerns
the elimination of two- or three-zone bus fares may result in worse bus congestion on certain routes.
Buses that cross bridg-es like the Ironworkers Memorial or Port Mann will suddenly be cheaper to take than boarding a SeaBus or SkyTrain.
Surrey transit rider Joel Booey wonders how TransLink will handle the increase in demand.
“Will they increase the number of buses and what will the frequency be? I’ll still take SkyTrain even though I have to pay more.”
Cathy McLay, TransLink’s chief fi nancial offi cer and the incom-ing acting CEO, said TransLink is not projecting any net drop in revenue from giving up the extra zone charges because more bus riders will be attracted by the fare break.
“We think it will all balance out – the increased ridership will cover off any loss,” she said.
But McLay was unable
to say whether or how TransLink will put on more buses on routes that could see higher volumes.
“Unfortunately, with the No plebiscite, there is no increase in transit services,” she said.
Th e changed bus fare system is billed as temporary pending a fare policy review and a possible eventual move to distance-based transit pricing.
Th ere are no plans to increase one-zone bus fares, McLay said.
TransLink says it will begin activating Compass vend-ing machines later this month at SkyTrain sta-tions and SeaBus terminals.
Th ey’ll initially sell single-use Compass tickets, but actual Com-pass cards will be available via the machines by
late October, and by No-vember in retail outlets, walk-in centres and by mail for those ordering online or by phone.
As for when fare gates will actually close and secure the system, that could be months longer as TransLink waits for riders to use up pre-paid
FareSaver tickets, which will no longer be sold next year. Th e gates were originally to be opera-tional by fall of 2013.
Th e base Compass fares will be the same as FareSaver pricing, with options for passengers to buy other options like a day or month pass.
One downside to abandoning the tap out on buses is TransLink will lose some of the benefi t it was counting on from the $194-mil-lion smart card and fare gates system – accurate
locations and times of the start and end of each trip so planners can more precisely match route service levels with demand.
But Compass program vice-president Lloyd Bauer suggested much data will still be useful because analytic systems can infer where passen-gers exit in many cases.
Bus passengers have long paid only one zone fares at off peak times after 7 p.m. weekdays and on weekends and holidays.

A minority of transit users are already using it, but the full rollout of TransLink’s Compass card this fall will bring cash-free convenience and other advantages to all other riders who sign up.
No longer will passengers have to fi nd correct change for a cash fare, or spend time buying prepaid tickets or passes ahead of time at stores.
Instead, they’ll log in to the com-passcard.ca website or insert the card at kiosks and load money on their account, which will be automatically drawn down as they use it.
Users won’t even have to remember to reload their card – they can activate a Compass option that automatically tops up the account when it falls below $5 with a pre-set amount from their bank account or credit card.
Right now, passengers who lose their monthly pass are simply out of luck and a bunch of money. Under Compass, as long as they’ve registered the card, they’ll be able to deactivate a lost or stolen card and transfer the balance to a new one.
FareSaver tickets and paper monthly passes and day pass-es will cease to be sold at some point, likely by early 2016. Compass users will be able to buy electronic versions of those passes for their account.
For regular monthly pass users, the auto-load option can be set to automatically buy the next month’s pass.
Users can check their balances online, through a mobile
website, or through an automated phone system.Families will be able to have multiple cards registered to
one payment account.And come tax time, monthly pass users who until now had
to collect their monthly receipts to claim the federal public transit tax credit will now be able to simply print a transac-tion history from the Compass website.
Holdouts who don’t want Compass will still be able to pay cash, but it will cost them more.
Fares paid by Compass with money loaded as “stored val-ue” will get a 14 per cent discount from the cash fare.
At transit stations, cash payers will buy a paper Compass ticket at a vending machine that will work at faregates.
Buses will continue to accept cash indef-initely but the paper transfers they issue won’t work at SkyTrain or SeaBus once the Compass faregates are shut – those riders will have to pay an extra fare at that point.
By October, people will be able to buy Compass cards in station vending ma-chines. By November, they’ll be available through retail outlets or by mail order over the phone and online.
Offi cials aren’t predicting exactly when all the faregates will be closed.
Th e long-delayed rollout is happening now because TransLink on Th ursday abandoned its original plan to re-quire passengers tap out as they exit buses.
As of Oct. 5 it will charge only one zone on bus routes that previously required payment for two or three zones.
Further in the future, other things become possible as well with Compass.
TransLink wants to ultimately charge based on actual distance travelled.
And when a major service disruption occurs, it may be possible to issue refunds to the specifi c Compass users aff ected by something like the SkyTrain meltdowns over the past year.

Wineries, breweries, cideries and distilleries with licensed lounges can now sell patrons liquor they didn’t produce.
Until now, a distillery couldn’t sell anything other than the spirits it produces – a glass of B.C. wine was off-limits – and a winery couldn’t oblige if one guest at a table wanted a beer in-stead of the local grape.
Those lines are erased under the latest change stemming from B.C.’s liquor policy review.
But there will be a limit – a maximum of 20 per cent of sales by a given producer can consist of liquor produced off-site. That’s intended to keep the focus on unique local offerings.
“We are doing away with B.C.’s archaic liquor rules,” Attorney General Suzanne Anton said, adding the change will give more choice to con-sumers while supporting B.C. tourism and small businesses.
Craft Distillers Guild of B.C. president Tyler Dyck said the move opens the door for craft brewers, vintners and distillers to cross-pro-mote each other.
The new rules also apply to special events, so a wedding or other event at a winery or other liquor producer will no longer have to get a spe-cial occasion licence to serve alcohol.
Anton indicated more reforms may be coming in areas where “further red tape can be cut.”

Th e fi rst, and perhaps the only complete English-language debate in this long federal election campaign has helped defi ne the issues, and the non-issues.
I’m not going to try to tell you who “won” or “came out swinging,” because this is not a sporting event. If you’re paying attention in August, bless you, and you probably have a favourite already.
First, let’s deal with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s diabolical scheme to extend the length of the formal elec-tion period. Th is, according to national pundits, is an extension of his evil plot to attract more fi nancial supporters than the other parties, and spend the money. In other words, it’s a non-issue and any opponent who dwells on it looks like a whiner.
Th is is the fi rst election in modern Canadian history to follow a four-year schedule. National pundits spent months telling us Harper was going to use a loophole in his own election law to call a spring vote before the econ-omy tanked. Didn’t happen, and now
the Conservatives are rightly under scrutiny about their economic man-agement. Incumbent manipulation of election timing is over, and that’s good.
Scheduled elections by their nature create longer campaigns, as demon-strated in B.C. and the United States. So they should be conducted under formal campaign rules, which limit the noise of public sector unions and other special interests.
Another non-issue is the non-exis-tent defi cit and recession that suppos-edly grips Canada. On actual results, there is a slim surplus, and if – a big if – Saudi Arabia continues to depress world oil prices, there may be a modest defi cit by next spring.
Th e Bank of Canada’s recent move to devalue the dollar has already produced a rebound in exports and tourism, which any government would appreciate. Have you tried to fi nd parking at the mall lately?
Of particular interest to B.C. voters is the contest between NDP leader Th omas Mulcair and Green Party lead-
er Elizabeth May. May used what may be her only national debate appearance to press Mulcair to oppose the Trans-Mountain pipeline expansion project before hearings are complete.
Mindful of Adrian Dix’s disastrous 2013 decision to do the same in B.C., Mulcair insisted he would wait for the federal review, even though he consid-ers it to be inadequate.
Th is is, of course, all theatre. Based on their actions, the NDP, Green Party and Liberals are all opposed not just to oil pipelines but export gas pipelines as well. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau wants to cancel capital cost allowances for liquefi ed natural gas investment that have been granted by B.C. and Ottawa, which could be a deal-breaker for LNG.
B.C. NDP leader John Horgan for-malized his opposition to the Trans-Mountain expansion last week, in a letter fi led with the National Energy Board. But we’re expected to believe that Mulcair has a diff erent position,
for now.Harper was forced to admit that his
long eff ort to persuade U.S. President Barack Obama to approve the Key-stone XL pipeline has failed, and the project will have to wait until Obama leaves offi ce next year.
Th e debate also confi rmed positions on Canada’s modest role in bombing Islamic State terrorist positions in Iraq and Syria. Th e Conservatives are for it, and the Liberals, NDP and Greens are against it.
Trudeau set the stage for the contest in Quebec, which B.C. voters can only watch from afar to see if it once again decides the shape of their federal gov-ernment. Trudeau pushed Mulcair on his cynical bid to court the separatist voters who suddenly swung to Jack Layton’s NDP in 2011.
Like petroleum prices, it’s beyond our control.
Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.
Near the beginning of every summer – before people take to our province’s highways in greater numbers for family vacations, music festivals, camping or the like – the word goes out about staying safe on the road.
Police and other communi-ty groups – not to mention countless editorials in news-papers and other media – are quick to espouse the dangers of excessive speed, distract-ed driving, driving under the infl uence or driving without undue care.
But despite the warnings, the summer never goes by without hearing of serious crashes both here in the Lower Mainland and else-where across B.C.
In the last few weeks alone, major crashes on the Coquihalla Highway and Highway 1 in the Okanagan – two involving buses – have closed roads and resulted in serious injuries, even death.
Perhaps drivers’ attention
spans are diminished this time of year, or maybe there is some scientifi c reason for what seems to be an increase in traffi c accidents.
Or maybe it’s just bad luck.For certain, during the
summer, there are many drivers anxious, even over-anxious, to get to their destination, be it a summer cabin or simply a family barbecue.
Regardless of the journey’s end, it’s worth taking a little extra time to plan ahead for travel, whether it be the route you’re taking, the time you depart, or a combination of the two. Both can pose challenges with more people on the roads and create unnecessary stress that often leads to aggressive and unsafe driving actions.
We’ve all seen people passing when it’s unsafe, driving at overly high speeds or tailgating, to name but
a few indiscretions. If no crash or mishap occurs as a result of such actions, the people victimized by such aggressive driving can count themselves lucky. But that’s not always the case.
As the popular bumper sticker states, “Failure to plan on your part does not dictate an emergency on my part.” How true. Demon-strating patience is not necessarily taught by driving schools or listed in any handbook, but it’s a critically important aspect of defen-sive driving.
Preventing all examples of dangerous driving on the highway, or even low-er-speed roads, is impossi-ble, but we can all still do our part to limit the damage.
At the very least, remem-ber to breathe when behind the wheel. You’ll get there eventually, even without driving like a knucklehead.

It was interesting to read your July 17 article by Kevin Diakiw, in which he reported that a high-profile member of Surrey’s environmental committee, Bob Campbell, had quit in protest of the way he’s been treated and the dysfunction of the committee itself. He states he was openly mocked when he attempted to raise and discuss important issues.
Is that not the job of an advisory group?
The article notes that Mr. Campbell may be the most recent member to resign, but there were others in the past. Dr. Roy Strang departed in frustration about 10 years ago and the late Dr. Tom Godwin left the committee when he de-cided recommendations were falling on deaf ears of council.
I can identify with their frustration. The City of Surrey used to have a Com-munity Consultant Group. After the murder of mother-of-three Julie Paskall at the Newton ice rink, we unanimous-ly passed a motion that recommend-ed the city organize a multi-level gov-ernmental meeting to discuss and find solutions to the crime issues in our city. That was over a year-and-a-half ago.
The city has never organized such a meeting, and furthermore, has never re-instated that consultant group. They
ignored our recommendation and then silenced us by not reconvening the group.
How does “not” having meaningful dis-cussions with those who have the ability
to make change help us find solutions to our crime problems? Simply stating that this must stop does nothing to resolve the problems.
Last fall, after the tragic murder of
17-year-old Serena Vermeersch, a num-ber of concerned citizens organized a rally in Newton. Our call for action was that mayor and council organize the multi-level government meeting we had asked for eight months prior and start working on solutions to our crime prob-lems. All of our currently elected council were in the audience that day and we still do not have a multi-level government meeting organized to find solutions to our crime problems.
A couple of months ago it was the mur-der of the Arun Bains, 22, in Newton; a few weeks or so ago it was the murder of father-of-two Colin Hill in Cloverdale.
Residents in Port Kells recently woke up to a targeted shooting in our neigh-bourhood – and on, and on it continues.
The questions beg to be asked, what other city in Canada had to requisition 100 police officers all at the same time, and does this indicate that the serious crime situation in Surrey has been a long time in the making due to lack of police resources and an understaffed bylaw department?
Do we need federal reforms to our justice system? Do we need the province to implement the recommendations of the attorney general’s blue ribbon panel report “Tough on Crime?”
One thing is for sure, we need a multi-level government meeting to find answers and solutions to these ques-tions.

How about building a coal port in Bellingham?
Let the United States ex-port their own coal.
We do not need more, or any, American coal dust and diesel exhaust. Th ose coal trains pass through two love-ly locations (White Rock and
Crescent Beach).Th e only entrance and exit
to and from Crescent Beach is over the railway tracks. Can you imagine the results of a fi re or swimming/boat-ing accident plus the long
waiting periods as hundreds of rail cars pass through?
Just the other day, cars were backed up to 128 Street, plus all the cars waiting to leave the beach area. And this is going to be doubled.
Th is is the beginning, then to the Fraser Surrey Docks, Fraser River, then large tankers all to follow. Th ere
must be a way to prevent this nightmare.
Could some common sense be hammered into these individuals who only care about lining one’s pocket or the almighty dollar?
What’s wrong with a port in Bellingham?

It would appear U.S. President Barack Obama has declared war on coal-fired power stations in the U.S.
The question now is whether Canada will follow suit.
There can be no doubt the U.S. coal barons watching the domestic demand for their product “CCC” (climate-changing coal) dwindle, will be
more anxious than ever to use Canada as a conduit.
Perhaps Fraser Surrey Docks – which is committed to installing a coal transfer facility to ship four million tonnes to China annually – will have second thoughts and abort the project.
Let us hope so.

A B.C. parole board has concluded that Brian Abrosimo is likely to seriously harm someone if he is let out of jail at this time.
In 2006, Abrosimo, now 52, was sentenced to 14 years in prison, followed by a 10-year supervision order for abducting an 11-year-old Langley girl from a rural Aldergrove road.
In August 2004, he used his van to knock down two children who were riding bicycles along 256 Street, kid-napping the 11-year-
old girl, taping her eyes and mouth, and driving her to Surrey, where he sexually assaulted her.
She got out of the van and ran off and she ran to a nearby home.
Her friend was left behind in a ditch, with cuts, bruises and a broken wrist, watching the van disappear.
Abrosimo was also convicted of handcuff -ing and gagging a sex-trade worker before vi-olently assaulting and raping her the month prior to the abduction of the Langley girl.
On July 16, the
parole board voted to detain Abrosimo until the end of his sentence in 2020, conclud-ing that “there is no supervision programs that would protect the community adequately from the risk that you present at this time.”
A psychological risk assessment done on Abrosimo on June 2 concluded that he is impulsive and has a “very high risk to reoff end, both gener-ally and with sexual violence.”
Th e parole board not-ed that the emotional damage Abrosimo has infl icted on his victims is permanent and dev-astating.
Th e girl’s family urged the parole board to keep Abrosimo be-hind bars forever.
At the hearing, Abrosimo told board members that he attributed his actions to his addiction to meth and the “monster within.”
He assured them he would never use drugs again and that “the monster is dead.”
But the board found his observations to be naive and optimistic. In December 2013, he punched another of-fender in the face in an unprovoked attack.
At the parole hear-ing, Abrosimo revealed that when he snatched
the girl in 2004, he had actually intended to keep her for a day or so.
Prior to abducting the girl he had altered the appearance of his van, placed a mat-tress in it. Th ere were handcuff s, bolt cutters and a handgun in the van at the time of the kidnapping.
Prior to the crime, he was frequenting crack houses, exchanging money for sex.
Abrosimo’s criminal history dates back to 1986, and includes im-paired driving, making threats and using vio-lence to gain compli-ance from victims.
In 1992, he gagged
and raped his former girlfriend. At one point, her children were present.
Abrosimo was con-victed of that crime in 1995 and received a two-year sentence. After being released on full parole a year later, he was arrested for fi ring a gun multiple times at a man.
In 2003, while high on drugs, he threat-ened to shoot a police offi cer and himself. He claimed to have a gun but was, in fact, in pos-session of a stapler.
In 2004, before the kidnapping and sexual assault of the Langley girl, he went back to the home of his ex-wife and assaulted her, allegedly attempting to rape her again.
Abrosimo suff ered a brain injury during a jail riot in 2008. But, since birth, he has had limited cognitive abilities and low intel-ligence.
In his sentencing re-port, the court learned that Abrosimo was sent to a special needs school where it is al-leged he was physically and sexually abused.
In 2010, he tried to sue the attorney gener-al, saying he was being harshly treated during his incarceration and that his life had been threatened.
Child rapist deemed too dangerous for release
KEVIN DIAKIW
A child escaped injury after falling from a second fl oor window in the Sullivan Heights neighbourhood of Surrey on the weekend.
On Sunday at about 10:30 a.m., a boy just under two-years-old climbed up some boxes near a win-dow, leaned against a window screen
and tumbled out.He was rushed to hospital, held for
observation and released.Police say it’s another fortunate
result in a situation that could have been much worse.
Parents are reminded that young kids can be much faster than often imagined. Caregivers are reminded to secure windows securely and/or make sure children have no access to them.

Police are considering whether to recommend drunk driving charges after a dramatic string of collisions on the Pattullo Bridge last week.
On Th ursday at about 6 p.m., a Surrey woman was heading northbound on the bridge into New Westminster when she veered into the centre pylon dividers and collided with up to 30 vehicles heading south.
No one was hurt in the accident.She continued northbound until she smashed into
a concrete barrier.Members of the New Westminster Police Depart-
ment arrested the driver for impaired driving.She was later released with an administrative
driving prohibition.An impaired driving investigation is ongoing.
Woman found sleeping in stolen car
One of the 10 most wanted car theft suspects in the province has been re-arrested after she was found sleeping in a stolen car in Whalley.
On July 21, a local business owner saw a person sleeping in a car in a parking lot in the 11800-block of 103A Avenue and called police.
Offi cers arrived and determined the car was stolen. Th ey woke the woman and told her she was under arrest. Th ey asked for her identifi cation, but she said she had none.
She was asked her name, gave one, and was warned it was an off ense to give a false name. She stuck to the name she provided.
When offi cers went back to the car, they ran the name, which turned out to be a real person in the po-lice database. Th e picture did not match the person in the car.
Th ey later found out the woman was 22-year-old Laetitia Acera – one of B.C.’s most wanted alleged car thieves.
She has been charged with possession of property obtained by crime, resisting or obstructing a peace offi cer, and four counts of breaching court undertak-ings.
She was already facing charges from an off ense in Penticton on May 7, and appeared in court on Aug. 5 on charges of willfully resisting or obstructing a peace offi cer.
From that incident, she had been facing 17 charges, including intent to gain advantage, danger-ous operation of a motor vehicle, failure to stop at an accident and fraud.
She was due back in court on Aug. 7 regarding both the allegations in the Penticton matter and the charges from July 21 in Surrey.
More witnesses to four-car crash sought
Police are still investigating a dramatic accident that sent up to seven people to hospital last month.
On Tuesday, July 28, at approximately 9:30 p.m., a white Mercedes was travelling southbound on 152 Street when it collided with a vehicle entering a driveway to a golf course near 79 Avenue on the west side of the street.
Th e Mercedes careened off of the car and drove into northbound lanes where it hit a pick-up truck.
Meanwhile, the vehicle entering the driveway lost a golf cart it was towing in a trailer. Th e cart then headed down the road, hitting another car.
In all, seven people were hurt.Anyone who witnessed the incident or has further
information is asked to call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Th e province has signed new fi ve-year labour contracts provid-ing 5.5 per cent pay hikes with unions rep-resenting nearly 7,500 workers at 14 post-sec-ondary institutions.
Th e recently ratifi ed agreements follow the government’s same “economic stability mandate” that has been the pattern for other public sector unions.
Within the Lower Mainland, the new agreements include 1,000 instructors, counsellors and librar-ians and other staff at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU), plus another 575 support and administrative service staff at KPU campuses in Cloverdale, Langley, Surrey and Richmond.
Other facilities in the region that have new contracts with faculty
or support staff include Douglas College, Capila-no College, Emily Carr University of Art + De-sign, the B.C. Institute of Technology and the Justice Institute of B.C.
Th e economic stability agreements, which now cover 230,000 workers across the province or three-quarters of the unionized public sector, promise extra wage hikes if B.C. exceeds its economic growth forecasts.
HOV lane rules tighten
Solo drivers can no longer use the Highway 1 HOV lanes west of the Port Mann Bridge on evenings and week-ends.
HOV restrictions there had been relaxed during construction of the Port Mann/High-way 1 expansion project but they’ll be back in
eff ect 24 hours a day as of Aug. 1.
Offi cials say the HOV rule relaxation helped avoid traffi c jams on the corridor at off peak times when work required multiple lane closures. Final fi nishing work wraps up later this summer.
Dedicated HOV off -ramps – at 156 Street, 202 Street and Grand-view – will also be re-stricted to vehicles with two or more occupants 24 hours a day.
SkyTrain station upgrades
Work is beginning on more than $135 million worth of SkyTrain station upgrades that are to be completed over the next couple of years.
Th e biggest upgrade is the $67 million at Commercial-Broadway station, which is the busiest station on the rapid transit system and expected to get busier yet when the Ev-ergreen Line opens to Coquitlam. It’s to fi nish in spring of 2017.
Metrotown station is also to see $58 million in improvements to be complete by December 2017, and $12 million is earmarked for New Westminster station.
TransLink is paying half the costs with the remaining contribu-tions coming from the provincial and federal governments.
Illness from tainted oysters soars with heat
A surge in shell-fi sh-related illness because of the hot summer weather has prompted the B.C. Cen-tre for Disease Control to issue a warning to oyster lovers.
Th e centre says 35 cases of a bacterial infection called Vibrio parahaemolyticus have been reported in June and July – an unprece-dented number.
Most people got sick from eating raw B.C. oysters served in restaurants, al-though some cases involved oysters that were self-harvested
or bought at retail outlets.
Th e bacteria occurs naturally in shellfi sh like oysters, clams, mussels, scallops and cockles and their con-centrations rise in the summer months when water temperatures get warmer.
“Th e risk is especial-ly high this summer, as we can see from the number of Vibrio infections reported during the last two months,” said BCCDC epidemiologist Marsha Taylor.
People can get sick when contaminated shellfi sh are eaten raw or undercooked.
Diarrhea is the most common symptom from infection, but nausea, vomiting, fever, headache and bloody stools can also result. Symptoms last three days to a week and don’t usually require treatment.
Th e BCCDC advises consumers to eat only cooked shellfi sh to destroy the bacteria and reduce the risk of gastrointestinal illness.
Drought means fewer mosquitoes this summer
Th e hot dry spring and summer has helped swat down most of the Lower Mainland’s mosqui-toes by denying them their usual prime breeding sites.
SFU mosquitoe biol-ogist Carl Lowenberg-er said the drought has translated into a nice reprieve from the pests in most areas.
“As a result of the dry spell, we have fewer pots of stand-ing water, therefore nowhere to lay eggs, which equals reduced populations,” he said.
Some mosquitoe spe-cies lay eggs on land that must get fl ooded the next spring to hatch – usually from snowmelt or rivers overfl owing their banks.
Because of the drought, this year’s low snowpack and the
lack of fl ooding of low-lands by the Fraser, those species are “do-ing nothing” this year, Lowenberger said.
But the eggs can sur-vive a couple of years, so those mosquitoes could still emerge next year if conditions are wetter.
Other types of mos-quitoes, such as the Culex species, over-winter as adults and can begin breeding immediately in the spring, provided they find water.
“They like dark, dank, dirty condi-tions,” Lowenberger said, adding they often find a haven in storm drains and dtiches in agricultural areas.
Despite the drought, he’s heard complaints of many mosquitoes in pockets of Delta, Richmond and parts of the Fraser Valley.
Lowenberger sus-pects some Lower Mainland municipal-ities are no longer treating storm drains and other breeding grounds as aggressive-ly with bacterial in-secticides as concern about West Nile virus waned.
“West Nile is on the back burner now, nobody’s concerned about it, so it seems they might have let that go,” he said. “If they’re coming from the storm drains, they’re probably not being treated.”

JEFF NAGEL
B.C. New Demo-crats have staked out a formal position against approval of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion ahead of fi nal arguments later this month before the National Energy Board (NEB).
In comments fi led with the NEB, the NDP caucus urged the reg-ulators to “recognize that because of the signifi cant risks and the fl awed and undem-ocratic process used to evaluate the project, it cannot be allowed to go forward.”
Th e letter signed by party leader John Hor-gan and environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert criticizes the NEB for presiding over a process that’s “fundamentally fl awed and broken” and failed to answer key ques-tions from intervenors, while allowing Kinder Morgan to conceal parts of its emergency spill response plans.
Th e NDP MLAs say those factors, as well as the exclusion of climate change as an issue to be considered, have led to a wide-spread public view that the NEB is “a public charade used to create the illusion of impar-tial consideration of projects, when in fact, these pipeline hearings have predetermined outcomes.”
Th e $5.4-billion proj-ect would nearly triple the Trans Mountain pipeline’s capacity to 890,000 barrels per day between northern Alberta and Burnaby, resulting in a sev-en-fold increase in oil tankers plying Vancou-ver harbour.
Th e provincial gov-ernment did not table written arguments ahead of a May dead-line for intervenors but is expected to lay out its position during the hearings, which begin Aug. 24.
Th e province has maintained it will not approve any new heavy oil pipeline that doesn’t meet its con-ditions for world-class spill response capabil-ity on land and at sea, addressing aboriginal rights and opportuni-ties, and a fair share of benefi ts for B.C. It
opposed the Northern Gateway pipeline on the basis none of those conditions were met, but the Enbridge-led project still got condi-tional approval from the NEB and federal government.
Th e NEB is scheduled to release its draft conditions for con-struction of the Trans Mountain pipeline on Aug. 12.
Opposition also con-tinues to come from the City of Burnaby, which indicated it will not step up policing for the project hearings and asked the NEB to make other security arrangements.
Other prominent intervenors have previ-ously withdrawn from the process, in some cases declaring it to be “rigged.”
Various groups have urged the province to pull out as well and conduct its own review of the project.
While the B.C. NDP
oppose the Kinder Morgan project, fed-eral NDP leader Tom Mulcair declined to take a position under repeated questioning from Green Party leader Elizabeth May in an Aug. 6 debate (see story, page 12).
Mulcair said the project needs to be weighed carefully as part of a “thorough,
credible process” and not be prejudged.
B.C’s NDP lost the 2013 provincial elec-tion after then-leader Adrian Dix came out against Kinder Morgan during the campaign rather than wait for the review process to unfold, a move the B.C. Liberals used to portray the party as against economic
development.Meanwhile, Trans
Mountain spokesper-son Ali Hounsell said the steep drop in oil prices over the past year has not hurt the viability of the project, which has binding, long-term contracts with 13 oil shippers who factored in the potential for market fl uctuations.

Federal party leaders squared off in their fi rst TV debate Th ursday, a mostly polite two-hour exchange of views on the economy, environ-ment and military action overseas.
Th e environment segment was most focused on B.C., where Prime Minister Stephen Harper was pressed on stalled pipeline propos-als to the West and East coasts as well as to the U.S.
Harper said low world prices for energy make it the only sector that is under-performing, while the rest of the economy is growing.
Green party leader Elizabeth May urged NDP leader Th omas Mul-cair to oppose the twinning of the TransMountain oil pipeline from Alberta to its Burnaby terminal. Mulcair stuck to his position that he will await a federal environmental review.
Harper noted that Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has opposed capital cost allowances for liquefi ed natural gas investors, weakening the case
for new gas pipelines. He said his government approved the North-ern Gateway pipeline proposed to run to Kitimat with more than 200 conditions, because “that’s how the system works.”
Trudeau and Harper sparred over greenhouse gas emission eff orts, with Harper noting he moved ahead on curbing coal power plant emissions three years before U.S. President Barack Obama.
Harper agreed that approval of the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to southern U.S. refi neries will likely have to wait for Obama to leave offi ce next year.
May said Harper is nowhere near meeting his own commit-ment to curb emissions, as forest fi res rage and extreme weather increases all year round.
The debate moderator, Ma-clean’s magazine columnist Paul Wells, asked Harper if he owes Canadians an apology for appointing since-suspended senators Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau. Harper did not apologize, saying the provinces need a consensus to reform the senate through elections as he proposed, or to abolish it.
Mulcair and Trudeau oppose the current bombing missions against Islamic State terror-ist targets in Syria and Iraq. Mulcair said he would support
military action sanctioned by the United Nations or under Canada’s NATO commitments.
Harper said the deployment of six fighter jets with special
forces support is what Canada’s allies want to do, and Islamic State is a “nerve centre” for a global movement that has tar-geted Canada specifically.

B.C.’s Ombudsperson to review drug researcher fi ringsTOM FLETCHER
B.C.’s new Ombudsper-son has been given extra authority to investigate
the case of eight minis-try of health researchers whose work on drug eff ectiveness was termi-nated three years ago.
Th e B.C. government recently passed amend-ments to allow Ombud-sperson Jay Chalke to review the case that has
had the government on the defensive since the abrupt dismissal of university researchers in 2012.
Th e researchers were assessing drugs for eligibility under the province’s Pharmacare program. Th e health
ministry initially said a confi dential database of B.C. patients who had taken various drugs had been misused, and some of the researchers appeared to have con-fl icts of interest.
One fi red contractor committed suicide, another is suing the government for wrong-ful dismissal and the remainder have been paid confi dential settle-ments and reinstated. Th e government has since apologized for the way the contractors were treated, but rea-sons for the fi rings and why they were reversed have not been made clear.
Chalke, a former public trustee appoint-ed Ombudsperson this spring, said he would take the case if confi dentiality agree-ments didn’t prevent him from reviewing documents and getting answers from those involved.
Attorney General Suzanne Anton pre-sented changes to the Ombudsperson Act to exempt the offi ce from confi dentiality agree-ments for this case, and the changes passed the legislature with unani-mous consent.
After an indepen-dent labour lawyer’s review was unable to compel testimony from senior health minis-try offi cials, Premier Christy Clark rejected Opposition calls for an independent inquiry.

For those who fi nd running on treadmills and lifting weights mundane, Darren Bersuk has a way to turn your workout upside down — literally.
With participants suspended from swings, rings, silks and poles, the classes off ered at AcroFit Alternative Fitness are more like being in a circus than being at a gym.
And rightfully so. Th e owner, Surrey resident Bersuk, is a former Canadian national gymnast and veteran Cirque du Soleil performer who has done shows for more than 100 million audience members across 45 countries.
Now he is off ering a taste of the ac-robatic world through a unique fi tness centre at 60 Avenue and 196 Street on the Surrey/Langley border.
“I’ve always wanted to open a gym of some sort,” Bersuk said.
“I never knew what kind of form that would take, so I’ve constantly been trying to fi gure out something that’s diff erent. I didn’t want to build the same old gym that everyone else was opening up.”
Visitors can see this philosophy when walking in.
Long strands of grey silk hang down from nine-metre ceilings in the fi rst studio, where participants will learn to climb and wrap around in.
Two additional studios feature
equipment for pole fi tness, aerial yoga, hoop, acro balance, ballet bar classes and personal training.
“We’re trying to bring the acrobatic genres to the normal, everyday person so they can not dread going to the gym,” Bersuk said.
“We want them to enjoy going to the gym. So not only does that take some-thing that’s fun, but it also takes variety because we don’t want to be doing the same thing over and over again.”
And if hanging upside down from a fabric swing sounds intimidating, don’t be afraid, Bersuk said. Th ere are introductory sessions so people of all fi tness levels can join.
“I want to get the people that normally would never head to the gym to come here and enjoy getting fi t and healthy,” he said.
“You’re still getting a great workout, you’re still building muscle, you’re still losing fat and burn-ing calories, but you’re going to have a smile on your face while you do it.”
Although Bersuk has a lifetime of acrobatic accolades, including per-forming on Late Night with David Letterman, one of his biggest thrills is watching new people try out his passion.
“It’s just seeing the reaction on their faces when they’re trying something
that is new and unusual for them and the enjoyment they get out of it,” he said.
“When people walk in here, they see something diff erent and you hope that the class can live up to that hype.
“So far, everything has.”AcroFit is open for both morning
and evening classes, and new clients receive their fi rst class for free.

The SFU Pipe Band is in Scotland this week, per-forming in Glasgow today (Wednesday), followed by the World Pipe Band Championships on Friday.
Among the travelling pipers is new member Zeph-an Knichel. He recently moved to Surrey to be part of the band.
Originally from Edmonton, Knichel began piping in 1999 as an Air Cadet with the 570 RCACS Pipe Band. The following year, he joined the Edmonton Boys Pipe Band and the Vimy Ridge Academy Pipe Band. In 2003 Knichel joined the Grade 1 Alberta Caledonia Pipe Band, of which he was an active member until 2013. Knichel also enjoyed stints in Grade 2 with the St. Thomas Alumni Pipe Band in 2011 and the Viscount Park Pipe Band in 2014.
Last year, he graduated Summa Cum Laude from Monmouth College in Illinois, with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. Knichel received a full tuition talent scholarship for bagpiping to at-tend Monmouth, and upon graduation received the departmental award for top Business Administration Major. 2015 is Knichel’s first year with SFU.
Others SFU Pipe Band members include Jack Lee, pipe sergeant, his sons Andrew and John, and An-drew Bonar.
Bonar, who is battling brain cancer, is not trav-elling with the band for the first time in 19 years. He’ll be watching the competition via the BBC livestream.

Wednesday August 12 2015 The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader 15
RICK KUPCHUK
Th ree local softball teams dominated the competition at the U18 Women’s Canadian Fast Pitch Champi-onship in Montreal, sweeping the podium positions at the week-long 21-team tourna-ment.
Th e Delta Heat ’97 edged the White Rock Renegades ’97 Sunday afternoon in the cham-pionship game to win the gold medal, just hours after eliminat-ing the Surrey Storm in a bronze medal game. Th e Renegades, unbeaten until Sunday, were awarded the silver medal.
“Th ere’s a lot of good coaches and all the girls defi nitely work very hard at it because they love the game,” said Heat head coach Steve Couper when asked to explain the B.C. sweep of the med-als. “Some of them are going to the Western Canada Games in Fort McMurray next week, then some will leave for (university) a week later.”
Th e Heat ’97 topped the White Rock Rene-gades 5-3 in an enter-taining championship game that saw the lead change hands three times and the teams combine for 21 hits.
“I give the Heat a lot of credit, they played very well,” said Renegades head coach Mark Dunlop, while watching the Delta players collect their gold medals. “But there were a couple of hits there that were Texas Leaguers, they were just dropping in. We just didn’t get the bounces today.”
Th e Heat took a quick 1-0 lead when Taylor Woodward singled to lead off the game, scoring on a Renegades error.
White Rock came back in the bottom half of the inning, scoring twice with two out. Chelsea Hotner scored on a Sophia Gray single, and one batter later, Abbey Fortin’s hit to the Delta out-fi eld was mishandled allowing River Johnson to score from second base.
Th e 2-1 Renegades lead lasted until the
fourth inning. Th e Heat had four hits, in-cluding and RBI single by Rae Samuelson to tie the game. A Ren-egades error allowed Jordan-Britten Yung to put Delta up 3-2.
Th e Heat committed a pair of infi eld errors in the fi fth inning, the fi rst allowing Taylor Uyeno to get on base, the second permitting her to score.
Th ree more Delta hits in the sixth inning scored the winning and insurance runs. Brit-ten-Yung got on base with a single to lead off the inning, then raced home on a single by Raelyn Radovich. One batter later, Radovich scored on a single by Woodward.
“Th e girls never give up, we’ve been a comeback team for years now,” said Couper, while the squad gathered for a team photo. “We have a lot of hitting power,
and we never give up, whether it’s the top of the seventh or the bottom of the seventh and we’re down by nine runs or one.
“Th e funnest part of softball is to hit the ball, and we did that well.”
Th e Renegades hand-ed the Heat their lone loss Saturday night, the 2-0 win sending White Rock directly to Sunday’s championship game. Each team had fi ve hits, with the Ren-egades getting three of theirs in the bottom of the fi rst inning to score the game’s only two runs. An RBI single by Johnson and a sacrifi ce fl y by Abbey Fortin that scored Shaelyn Ogilvie gave the Ren-egades all the off ence they needed.
Wright pitched a shutout with fi ve strikeouts, limiting the Heat to fi ve singles and a walk.
Th e Storm were over-whelmed by the Heat in Sunday’s semifi nal. Th ey were outhit 15-1 over fi ve innings, bow-ing out of the tourna-ment with an 8-0 loss.
Michaela Moore led the Heat with three
hits and four RBIs, with Maria Palmegiani, Lauren Watson, Brit-ten-Yung, Samuelson and Radovich adding two hits each.
Goddard got the win, allowing one hit and a walk while striking out four Storm batters.
Th e Storm clinched a medal with a 2-0 win Sunday morning over the Brampton Blaz-ers Sunday morning. Jessica Fasolino threw
a complete-game shutout that saw her strike out eight Blazers. Brampton had just three singles off Fasolino, who didn’t give up a walk.
Th e Storm broke a scoreless tie in the fi fth. Jillian Marshall dropped a ball over the Brampton second baseman to get on base, and was replaced by pinch-runner Noelle Johnson. Demi Rose
then singled to centre fi eld, allowing John-son to race home from second base for the winning run.
Surrey added to the lead in the sixth. Hailey Kjaer got on base on a fi elding error, eventually scoring on a single to shallow right fi eld by Shelby Kwak.
Th ey worked hard all year, and I don’t think a lot of people gave them a chance (to med-al). I wasn’t sure about a medal. But we got a feel for what they can do, and it was a goal.
“We’re real pleased. It worked out well and I’m very happy with them.”
Storm roll to national U14 title
Th e Surrey Storm kept their undefeat-ed streak intact last weekend, en route to a national U14 fastpitch title.
Th e Surrey Storm 2001A team captured the Canadian champi-onship Sunday, after a 2-1 extra-innings win over Delta Heat 2001.
Th e Storm – who won a provincial title last
month, without losing a game – stayed perfect at nationals, which were held in Victoria Aug. 5-9.
Surrey rolled through the round-robin por-tion of the tournament with six straight victo-ries, then tallied playoff victories over Ontario’s Waterloo Ghosts, 10-5, and the host Victoria Devils, 7-0, before squaring off against Delta in the fi nal.
In the title game, Sur-rey took a slim 1-0 lead into the seventh in-ning, but the Heat tied the game on a Storm error, sending the game to extra innings.
In the ninth, Surrey’s Rachel Drewitt led off with a single, and then, with two outs, a single from teammate Kianna Jones scored Drewitt to win the game.
Storm head coach Mark Riske said the dramatic victory was a “real character builder” for his group, which throughout the season was used to winning games by large mar-gins.
“It was a great way to end a pretty magical year for us,” he said. “We’re really thrilled.”
