KEVIN DIAKIW
Mayor Linda Hepner acknowledges a $100 levy was never raised by her party during the fall election, but the tax became necessary to maintain the city’s capital program.
During the last civic election, Surrey First vowed to hire 100 police offi cers for $15 million annually. Th e party stated those offi cers could
be paid for with revenue from growth, a hike in secondary suite fees and dividends from the city’s development corporation.
However, the chair of the city’s fi nance com-mittee, Coun. Tom Gill, said cost pressures – pri-marily from the hiring of more RCMP – put the city’s aggressive capital program at risk.
Gill said there were other cost pressures that came as a surprise, including a benefi ts increase for the RCMP and a pay increase for Surrey fi re-fi ghters. Staff say those costs total $6.5 million, some of which the city was anticipating.
Hepner said there were other unexpected costs as well. Th ey include operating costs of new pools, she said.
“My fundamental piece was, are we going to remain competitive in the region with the lowest taxes?” Hepner said. “Frankly that’s the best we can do.”
She acknowledged that the $100 levy was a new concept.
“Th at was never raised during the election,” Hepner said. “Nor was I aware it was going to cost $2 million to operate a pool.”
She also heard on the hustings that people wanted to keep the capital building program, which is extremely expensive.
Th e budget was endorsed by the fi nance com-mittee (all of council) on Dec. 8. It will be given fi nal approval by council after the holidays.

A better way to give to charities
In my previous article, I explained why The Co-operators is “A Better Place For You”. I
explained that we have $42 Billion of Canadian’s money under investment management in portfolios that come with guarantees that other investments do not offer. We have over 2.5 million clients placing their trust in us. Today, I want to talk about a better way to give to charities.Government cutbacks at all levels have meant that charitable organizations are facing increasing pressure to fi nd private sources of funding.Canadians care about those less fortunate. Did you know that each
year over $5 billion is contributed to charities by Canadians? To encourage charitable giving, donations made by taxpayers to registered charitable organizations are eligible for tax credits. With planning, tax savings can fund more than 40% of charitable gifts donated.Larger donations provide even greater relative tax savings, because more of the gift may qualify for a higher tax credit.
So how does it work?By using a life insurance policy, you create a donation large enough to meet important long-term goals of your charity of choice. These goals could be the creation of a scholarship fund, the construction of a building, the
purchase of equipment, or other special causes. In Delta, this work is done by the Delta Foundation. You then receive a valuable tax credit. There are a number of ways to receive this credit:• Donate a new or existing life insurance policy directly to the charity and receive offi cial tax receipts for the premiums you pay on the policy. This provides an immediate tax credit.• If you retain ownership of the policy and designate the charity as the benefi ciary, the charity will receive the policy proceeds at the time of your death. A tax benefi t equal to the full amount of the policy proceeds goes to your estate. This tax credit can signifi cantly reduce your taxes at that time, allowing your heirs to receive the full value of your estate and the charity to receive a signifi cant gift. • Use the tax incentives provided by Canada Revenue Agency to donate
certain assets to your charity of choice in return for a charitable tax receipt. Through a concept called Wealth Replacement, you can use a life insurance policy to replace the value of donated assets. The policy proceeds are payable tax free to your heirs as part of their inheritance.This can be your legacy to your community and a help to your heirs.

On behalf of Canadian Blood Services, I’d like to sincerely thank residents of this community who responded to our recent urgent appeal for blood.
When it really counted, you stepped up and helped ensure we could continue to meet patient needs across the country. We are fortu-nate to have such dedicated donors, some of whom experienced longer donation times during this critical period.
Thanks to you we are no longer in a critical situation. That doesn’t mean our work together stops here; the need for blood is constant.
We look forward to wel-coming regular donors back again soon. If you’re a new donor we hope you will con-
sider making blood donation a regular part of your life.
We want donors to have the best experience possible.
We’ve heard your sugges-tions and will continue to improve. To begin, we’ve introduced Wi-Fi in our permanent clinics, created a new website that is mo-bile friendly, introduced a mobile app called GiveBlood and started publishing our weekly inventory online so it’s even easier for you to take action. We have also introduced a new eligibility quiz to help you determine if you can donate. To learn more visit www.blood.ca.
Once again, thank you for your recent support and for helping to save or improve the life of a fellow Canadian.

It’s time to look beyond the pro-tests and political battles around climate change that dominated 2014, and look at the year and the decade ahead.
From the California drought to shifting forest patterns across B.C., there is evidence that our climate is changing more rapidly. Public debate consists mainly of squabbling about the signifi cance of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, rather than what can be done to prepare.
A draft discussion paper from the B.C. forests ministry on wildfi re con-trol was released in December after an access-to-information request. “Climate Change Adaptation and Ac-tion Plan For Wildfi re Management, 2014-2024” describes the progress made in the province’s community forest fi re prevention plan, and its goal to create “wildfi re resilient eco-systems and wildfi re adapted commu-nities” over the next 10 years.
Th e fi nal discussion paper is to be released early in 2015, but the key research is in. It estimates that by
2017 there will be 788 million cubic metres of dead pine in B.C. forests. Fires in these areas spread 2.6 times faster than in healthy green stands, up to 66 metres per minute.
Th e report calls for fuel manage-ment beyond community boundaries to stop “mega-fi res” by creating land-scape-level fuel breaks, with targeted harvesting, prescribed burning and new silviculture practices.
It notes that bark beetle infesta-tions and bigger, hotter fi res are being seen across North America, with costs rising along with urban development. For example, the 2011 Slave Lake fi re in northern Alberta generated the second-largest insur-ance charge in Canadian history.
Th e costs of preparing are huge. Th e costs of not preparing could be catastrophic.
Also in 2014, the B.C. government appointed an advisory committee to prepare for the renewal of the Co-lumbia River Treaty with the United States.
While this 1964 treaty has no
end date, its fl ood control mandate expires in 2024. I spoke with Deborah Harford and Jon O’Riordan, mem-bers of the Simon Fraser University Adaptation to Climate Change Team (ACT), who, along with ACT senior policy author Robert Sandford, have written a provocative book on the treaty. Th ey hope it will help lead to a renewed agreement that will be a model for a changing world.
“If you’re looking ahead 60 years from 2024, there’s a lot of climate change projected in that period, for British Columbia and the U.S.,” Harford said. “For the B.C. side, we’re looking at heavy precipitation and potential increase in snowmelt runoff , while in the States, you’re getting the opposite, much less snow.
“Th ere will probably be no snowpack left down there, and they’re looking at the prospect of quite drastically lower fl ows in the summer.”
Th e treaty, sparked by devastating fl oods in 1948, led to construction of
three dams on the B.C. side and one at Libby, Washington that backed up Kookanusa Lake into B.C. Between that reservoir and the Arrow Lakes, 110,000 hectares of B.C. land was fl ooded, including orchards, dairy farms and the homes of 2,000 people.
Those dams hold back spring flood water and provide for irrigation that has allowed Washington to expand its agriculture to a $5 billion-a-year industry. The treaty shares the value of hydroelectric power generated by the many downstream U.S. dams such as the Grand Coulee, but it pays B.C. nothing for agricultural benefits that were achieved at the cost of B.C. farms and aboriginal territories.
O’Riordan notes that climate shifts create a strategic benefit for B.C. The U.S. has no more dam capacity to exploit, and needs us more than ever, for flood protection and water supply.

INBOX6 The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Tuesday December 30 2014
My wife and I are 82 and 84 years old. It came as a total shock to fi nd my 55-year-old plum tree (that I planted as a seedling) lying on the ground after a storm on Th ursday, Dec. 11. Th is tree grew to be 40 feet tall and two feet across the bough and fed the neighbours every summer.
My faith in humanity was restored when the next morning we noticed a complete stranger cleaning up the branches that blocked the sidewalk. My wife went out to thank her when another stranger asked if we could use some help. My wife jokingly said, “do you have a big chainsaw?” He said “yes.”
Saturday morning came and we couldn’t believe what we saw. Th e two unknown neighbours arrived with a friend and the tools to clean up the debris. Our neighbours beside us joined in the throng with more tools, and my son and grandson completed this nine-member entourage. With two chainsaws, two wheelbarrows, a log splitter, clippers and twine, it took this amazingly effi cient work team three-and-a-half hours to clean up the years of memories and shade this old tree provided.
We stand in awe and the gratitude is immeasur-able. We would like to extend a heartfelt Merry Christmas to our neighbours and new friends who possess the humanity that inspired us and moved us so deeply.

At that time, the Surrey RCMP were also called.
When transit police arrived, the man was stabbing himself in the chest with a knife.
Police began talking with him and telling him to drop the knife.
At one point, the man advanced on offi cers and shots were fi red, MVTP spokesper-son Anne Drennan told CBC News.
He was rushed to hospital where he died of his injuries.

IIn early November, the Amsterdam-based GPS producer TomTom released its 2013 ‘Travel Index’ ranking Vancouver as the
most congested city in North America—more congested than Los Angeles, Toronto, and New York, ranked respectively at 2nd, 7th and 9th on TomTom’s ‘top ten’ list. Few commuters stuck in the various well-known choke points in Vancouver —on ramps to the various bridges, for example, or on downtown arteries in rush hour —would dispute this. But, at the same time, those who have also driven in the other above-mentioned cities might still question this distinction. TomTom says congestion is getting worse in Vancouver, but, on balance, it doesn’t feel like it. Over the last decade the road and public transit infrastructure improvements made throughout the lower mainland, the BC interior, and the Vancouver to Whistler corridor have made a diff erence. And they indicate awareness on the part of our legislators, transportation policy experts and planners that infrastructure matters, needs attention and requires ongoing funding. Agreement on securing this funding and allocating it to the various projects is an ongoing challenge and big part of the transportation debate.
South of the border transportation experts are also aware … and worried. Writing in the latest Eno Centre for Transportation newsletter, Roger Dow, the President and CEO of the US Travel Association forecasts that:
“Without signifi cant investments to improve the performance of the National
Highway System or provide alternative modes of transportation like high-speed rail, American highways will be as congested on a typical day as they are on Labor Day. For example, Labor Day congestion will be the reality on I-95 between Palm Beach and Melbourne, Fla., as soon as 2020, and between New York and Washington, DC, as soon as 2024.
For the country that built the transcontinental railroad, federal highway system and once boasted an aviation system that was the envy for the world, this is simply unacceptable.
As recently as 10 years ago, Republicans and Democrats worked together to invest in America’s transportation infrastructure. Congressional leaders made high-performing infrastructure a priority to meet demand and grow our economy.
But times have changed. Referring to transportation funding, Sen. Jay Rockefeller, (D-W.Va.), said it best earlier this year: ‘We in Congress have simply not done our jobs when it comes to investing for the future.’”
Mr. Dow goes on to say that the situation has now “grown so dire,” and the problem of solving it so complex, that it is too expansive for any one state to resolve on its own, too expensive for any one company to fund and too important for any elected representative to relinquish their role. He says the time has come to consider user fees as part of the solution, a reversal of the traditional position taken by the transportation industry. He concludes by exhorting the federal government to “get back in the game and jump-start investments in transportation solutions.”
Road users in both Canada and the US don’t like the prospect of road user fees but discussion of this ‘solution’ isn’t about to end any time soon. Quite the contrary.

region. Th e move de-lights opponents of the regional district’s plan to build a new waste incinerator, which may be thwarted as a result. Metro leaders say the region’s recycling system is threatened because garbage fi rms that haul waste out of the region will avoid paying regional tipping fees or complying with bans on the dumping of recyclables.

More than 120 people are arrested attempting to block survey work by Kinder Morgan on Burnaby Mountain. Anti-pipe-line activists win a victory when a court throws out most charges against pro-testers and refuses to extend an injunction, prompting the com-pany to pull out early. Th e civil disobedience follows a series of legal challenges led by Burnaby and under-scores the challenges the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion will face on the ground. National Energy Board hearings are expect-ed to begin in 2015. Most participants will be limited to written statements.

Metro Vancouver mayors decide to go to referendum on a 0.5-per-cent sales tax increase within the region to fi nance an ambitious expansion of rapid transit and bus service. Th e referen-dum, expected to take place in April of 2015, is a provincial condi-tion for new taxes for TransLink. Mayors unveiled their plan for proposed upgrades in June. Th e choice of a PST increase was a switch from their original preference – a share of the provincial carbon tax, which was rejected by the govern-ment.

Eight best designated driver stories from ICBCJEFF NAGEL
Being a designated driver in the holi-day season brings
its own rewards, often in the form of bizarre tales to tell later on.
ICBC has shared
a list of best desig-nated driver stories to raise awareness and encourage more drivers to take their turn providing oth-ers a safe ride home from holiday parties.
Here are the top stories the public auto insurer gath-ered in a recent survey:
• “Many years ago in Prince George I was [doing a rideal-
ong with the] RCMP. We were parked out-side a bar. A person came out of the bar, opened the rear pas-senger door and sat down. Believing they were in a taxi they
gave their address. The officer noted the address was close so he drove them home. When they tried to pay, the officer gave them his business card and said, ‘Tonight’s ride is on us – thanks for calling a cab.’ I guess in this case the RCMP was the designated driver and I have no doubt the next day many questions about the trip home must have been going through the passenger’s mind when they saw the police card.”
• “I delivered an intoxicated friend to an address he gave me only to find out the next day that he didn’t live there. The residents looked af-ter him and I drove him to his actu-al home the next day.”
• “I drove a couple of friends home after a Christ-mas party and neither one could remember how to get to their houses. We played ‘Does this look familiar?’ for over two hours in two different cit-ies…”
• “I was designated driver for my broth-er-in-law in Belgium this summer. I got to drive his Mercedes CLS 320. If only I had more friends with high-end or exotic cars. Anyone with a Porsche Turbo need a driver?”
• “I was driving someone home and he was giving me directions. When we arrived, he got out and was met at the door by a wom-an who refused to let him in. Turns out, they had been divorced for two months and in his drunken condition, he forgot he no lon-ger lived there.”
• “Wife’s 20-year reunion. Some of the
occupants thought they were in a taxi and tried to pay me.”
• “I was designat-ed driver for twelve ladies celebrating a birthday. I rented a van and drove them to several bars. I was surrounded by all these beautiful women and they would only dance with me… I never had a better night in all my single life.”
• “Listening to my friends sing ‘Don’t Cry For Me Argen-tina’ over and over again.”
• “When my son called me at 3:00 am to get a ride home… He was in his late twenties and he said, “You know how you
always told us when we were teen-agers that you didn’t care what time we called
that you would give us a ride home rath-er than drink and drive, or drive with someone who was drinking? I never took you up on it, so I am calling in that offer now!”
The funny stories come with a seri-ous annual message – drive safe and be aware that Counter-Attack road checks are in full swing to enforce impaired driving laws.
In the last five years, 11 people have been killed and 36 seriously injured in impaired driv-ing-related crashes in B.C. between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day.
Every year during the Christmas holi-days, an average of 220 people are injured in 640 crashes in the Lower Mainland.
And every New Year’s Eve, an aver-age of 130 people are injured in 410 crash-es in the region.

Th e hunt for a double carjacking suspect involved in a multi-ve-hicle pileup at Fraser
Highway and 68 Avenue last Tuesday ended with an arrest.
Edward Joseph Biwar, 24, was appre-hended at a home in
the 15900-block of 96 Avenue. He has been charged with 18 off enc-es, most weapons relat-ed, in connection with the Dec. 23 carjackings.
Th e charges come at an end of dramatic serious of events where a man with a gun in Cloverdale initiated two carjackings, including one involving a baby in the backseat of an SUV, Surrey RCMP said.
Th e baby – physically unharmed – and the stolen Ford SUV were found abandoned in the area of 96 Avenue and 158 Street.
Police were already on their way to the initial report of a man with a gun near 186 Street and Fraser Highway when word came that a Toyota pick-up had been stolen by someone matching the description.
A woman was inside the vehicle.
Th e Toyota was sub-sequently involved in a crash on Fraser Highway and 68 Avenue involv-ing multiple vehicles. Th e suspect then used a second vehicle, the Ford SUV with the baby in it, to fl ee the scene.
A gun was recovered from inside the Toyota.

Celebrate the ‘Nude Year’ with a splash
BLACK PRESS
Surrey’s United Na-turists (SUN) and the Skinnydipper Recre-ation Club are bring-ing in the “Nude Year” at their ninth-annual Polar Bare Plunge on Jan. 1 at the cloth-ing-optional Crescent Rock Beach.
Th e charity swim will be held at 1 p.m. in the icy waters of Boundary Bay di-rectly in front of the 120-tonne Crescent Rock boulder.
To get to the the beach, walk south from the public Cres-cent Beach 100 metres past the “101 Steps” elevated metal walk-way or take the stairs located at the very west end of 24 Ave. in south Surrey.
Registration begins at 12:30 p.m.
A one-button bath-ing suit is the usual attire for this cloth-ing-optional swim, but Santa hats, fake antlers, body paint and limited festive garments are appreci-ated, keeping in mind that less is often more.
Foot protection, including secured san-dals or aquatic shoes, are recommended to help with footing on the small rocks lining the shore before the sand fl ats.
Entry is free but organizers ask sup-porters and spectators to bring cash dona-tions to help the War Amps PLAYSAFE and CHAMPS childhood amputee programs – highlighting the danger to pedestrians trespassing on the adjacent BNSF railway (CN Police might be there to keep people off the train corridor).
If you like clothing, White Rock’s annual Polar Bear Swim takes
place at Jan. 1 at noon on the White Rock Pier.
Registration begins
at 10 a.m. Th ere will be coff ee, hot chocolate and hot dog vendors.
This event is orga-nized by five local Rotary clubs.
