Th e battle against gangs in B.C. has made big advances but now is not the time to relax, a top B.C. Mountie told a conference on youth gang prevention Th ursday.
RCMP Chief Supt. Dan Malo said he believes redoubled community eff orts and new policing tactics can further dent orga-nized crime and prevent a resurgence of the gangland bloodbath of fi ve years ago.
“We’re down in the statistics,” Malo told delegates in Surrey at the Acting Together gang prevention conference organized by Kwantlen Polytechnic University.
“A number of [gangsters] are in jail, a number of them are dead, a number of them have changed their behaviour and others we have forced to change their behaviour.”
Th ere have been just three gang-linked murders in B.C. so far this year, way down from 2007 to 2009, when the annual death toll ran as high as 36.
Malo said it’s becoming clear a police strategy of pressuring prolifi c gangsters to make life uncomfortable and rob them of their power and infl uence is helping.
He said it’s also clear earlier enforce-ment in B.C. failed because gang members “weren’t being touched” while they spent lavishly and developed the attitude they were “superstars” who could kill at will.
“In the ‘90s and the 2000s we let people like [gangster] Bindy Johal run crazy. We let the United Nations Gang and the Inde-
pendent Soldiers run around with hoodies on that said they were all that.”
Youth in B.C. cities were recruited and sucked into the vortex of violence.
“Many of these young kids went from street-level bullying to drug traffi cking to extortion to contract killing in a matter of a few years, when traditional organized crime takes decades to do that.”
Past policing success was measured too much by the number of bad guys jailed or kilograms of cocaine seized, Malo said, and focused on taking out top crime kingpins.
Today, he said, more eff ort aims to change attitudes and behaviours.
“It needs to become part of the fabric of British Columbia that this kind of be-haviour is not tolerated. We take our young kids, we turn them into superstars in our communities – not gangsters.”
Th e new endganglife.ca campaign of B.C.’s
anti-gang police unit plays on emotions of gangsters with imagery of loved ones left behind after they’re dead.
Malo said it worked on one ex-Lower Mainland gangster, who recently agreed to exit the life rather imagine his child having to bury him.
Th e biggest challenge was answering the man’s question of what he would do now to keep earning $6,000 a day. Malo said offi -cers arranged for the ex-gangster to enter a training program for a job that will pay well.
“If they choose to exit that lifestyle, we’re going to help them do that,” he told delegates. “We’re going to support them because they’re going to change their behaviour.”
He said community groups can play a huge role in helping build strong character in youth and “give them role models that are not Jamie Bacon.”
Malo also wants to put pressure on others who profi t from gang activity.
“We know car rental places that make all their money from renting cars to gangsters. We need to work with them maybe tell them that’s not the right side of the com-munity they need to be in.”
While there have been signs of success – Malo also counts the doubling in the price of cocaine in the past couple of years to $60,000 a kilogram, indicating a crimp in supply – there are also trouble spots.
Heroin overdoses have spiked in the last six months, he said.
And too many B.C. criminals remain infl uential players in the international drug trade.
“Now is not the time to take our foot off the gas.”
Anti-gang tactics working: RCMP▶ KILLINGS DOWN, BUT KEEP THE PRESSURE ON, SENIOR MOUNTIE URGES

A family is angered that no charges will be laid against a contractor for the RCMP who left the scene after killing Andrew Leduc last year.
A civilian consultant working with Mounties on a traffi c accident investigation was involved in a fatal hit-and-run accident on Aug. 7, 2013 in the 19500-block of Langley Bypass.
Th e driver of the semi-truck was travelling east-bound in the curb lane at 3 a.m. when he struck and killed Leduc, 37, of Langley.
Th e driver did not stop to render assistance, but kept driving.
Leduc died at the scene.Th e consultant driving the semi-truck involved in
the fatal hit-and-run had been working that day on a re-creation of an accident involving a semi-truck
that killed Surrey RCMP Const. Adrian Oliver in November 2012, at the intersection of 64 Avenue and 148 Street
On Th ursday, RCMP said there will be no crimi-nal charges against the driver.
Leduc’s brother Adam told CBC News he was extremely upset to receive the news.
“I was pretty shocked I was pretty angry,” he told CBC. “I can’t see how you can hit a guy like that, leave him lying in the street to die and continue on and no charges whatsoever, not even a traffi c ticket.”
Surrey RCMP Major Crimes Section concluded its investigation after eight months, but Mount-ies called in the Offi ce of the Police Complaints Commissioner (OPCC) to ensure the integrity of the investigation.
Th is month, the OPCC ruled the RCMP fi nding was correct – that there was no criminality to the incident.
At the time of the accident, the RCMP called the Independent Investigations Offi ce (IIO), but as the driver was not a police offi cer, the incident did not fall under the purview of the independent investigators.
A fi nal report of the OPCC is expected in the coming weeks.

Last November, Nenita Yap prayed for two days straight.
Th e Surrey nanny was praying not only for the safety of her family, but for news – any news – out of the Philippines.
Th e fi rst trickle of information from the news blackout came on Facebook, but the short blip of “we’re okay” from one local source meant little in those early days.
Th ere were 15 people crammed into her family’s home when the devastating Typhoon Haiyan hit Tanauan, a small town where “ev-erybody knows everybody” on the east coast of the island province of Leyte.
Haiyan, a Category 5 typhoon, was one of the strongest tropical storms ever recorded. It slammed into Southeast Asia on Nov. 8, 2013, causing mass devastation – especially in the Philippines. It killed more than 5,000 people.
Th e day before the storm hit, Yap was reas-sured by her family over the phone that they had extra supplies and the concrete house was ready for what was coming.
“We thought it was strong enough to withstand the typhoon,” Yap told Th e Leader during an interview in Guildford.
Indeed, the concrete house withstood the storm itself, but there was worse to come.
Days later, Yap, on the phone and on the ground among the wreckage, would hear the
same two words over and over: Storm surge.“(Before the typhoon), we didn’t know what
it meant.”Th e rush of water that Haiyan unleashed
plucked, one after another, 10 members of Yap’s family from the rafters of the house, including her mother Arnesia and second-old-est sister Editha.
“It was like a tidal wave,” she said, wiping away tears as she recalled the catastrophe.
“When I talk about them, I still get emo-tional,” she said. “It’s been exactly eight months.”
Yap’s brother Rolly was trapped in anoth-er – and ultimately spared – house in the town, and later helped with rescues and the recovery, while her brother José (Joe) remained at home, holding on to which-ever relatives he could as the storm surge swept through the lower fl oors, fi nally collapsing the walls.
He helped Yap’s 13-year-old daughter Samantha survive with numerous scrapes and bruises, but José stills feels terrible guilt for being unable to save their 78-year-old mother, Yap said.
José, in a twist of fate, had arrived home
just two weeks earlier after being employed in Saudi Arabia. Two weeks later, his chil-dren died in the storm as he watched.
Yap arrived in the devastated area a week after the storm. Th e landscape had changed and much of her family was gone.
“Everything was fl at. All the landmarks were gone.”
While she was there, the bodies of several members of her family were recovered; others were to be found and buried weeks later.
As Yap tries not to dwell on the heartbreaking story, she has the support of Surrey’s Filipino communi-ty and her church, and has hope for a brighter future.
“I keep myself busy. I concentrate on the family I have left.”
Samantha, who is currently living in Manila, is expected to move to Canada this summer or in the fall.
Yap, who has been in Canada under the Live-in Caregiver program for the past 34 months, hopes to hear soon about
paperwork allowing her and her daughter permanent residency.
In the meantime, she recently received a bit of good news.
On June 30, she won a scholarship through Sprott Shaw College at the Philip-
pine Consulate in Vancouver for an essay she wrote about the typhoon.
Th e scholarship is worth about $10,000 and will fully pay for Yap’s seven-month Health Care Assistant diplo-ma program at Sprott Shaw, as well as her books and student fees.
Th e course begins in August and will allow her to continue to work while she
studies.“Th is scholarship will help me a lot,”
said Yap, who also wants her 16-year-old orphan niece to join her in Canada. “It will make me much more employable.”
At present, money from her caregiver job continues to fl ow back to her family in the Philippines.
‘I can’t see how you can hit a guy like that... and no charges whatsoever...’

Parents are being urged to watch for telltale signs their teen is a dial-a-doper – the bot-tom rung of drug-deal-ing organized crime.
Th e indicators – access to a vehicle, carrying multiple cellphones, go-ing out at all days of the day and night on quick errands – are spelled out in detail in a new
booklet released by B.C.’s anti-gang police unit.
Th e guide, titled Understanding Youth and Gangs: A Parent Resource, aims to help parents recognize and ward off the start of gang involvement.
It focuses on dial-a-dope drug deliveries because that’s the main entry point for many youth who enter gangs or organized crime activity, said Sgt. Lind-sey Houghton of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CF-SEU-BC).
Th e entry-level trade is not lucrative like gang recruiters make it out to be, the guide says, ar-guing most could make more money working fast-food restaurants but instead expose themselves to great risk.
Dial-a-dopers are often under extreme pressure, it says, because they often rack up debts and will be held responsible by gangs for any product that’s stolen or fronted without payment.
Th e guide, developed in partnership with the Acting Together (AT-CURA) Project and the South Asian Community Coali-tion Against Youth Violence, is to be translated into other languages, including Punjabi, Chinese and Vietnamese.
Police and community partners will distrib-ute the new booklet province-wide. It’s also online at endganglife.ca

A driver who struck and killed a father as he delivered newspapers in Surrey with his teenage son four years ago has been granted full parole with nearly a year left in his sentence.
Accord-ing to the Parole Board of Canada, the deci-sion to re-lease Allan Simpson Wood was made June 26 and sent to media last week.
Wood’s two-year sentence for causing the death of Bryan McCron ends June 2, 2015.
Last summer, Wood, 41, pleaded guilty to assault and dangerous driving causing death in connection with the July 19, 2010 incident that killed McCron and injured his teenage son, Connor. (Charges of impaired driving causing death and failure to provide a breath sample were stayed).
Th e court heard that Wood’s Chevy Silverado struck McCron’s Toyota Tercel as the McCrons were delivering newspa-pers in the 15300-block of Colebrook Road. Th e Silverado was not insured; Wood did not have a valid driver’s li-cence; and, at the time of impact, Wood’s vehicle was travelling more than double the speed limit.
He was granted day parole in January, a decision in which the parole board cited Wood’s limited criminal record, assessed low risk to reoff end, acceptance of responsibility and “reasonable level of insight.”
After that decision, McCron’s sister, Vicki Macri, said the day parole was “a slap in the face of the victims again.”
“Six months is about all the justice system feels a life is worth,” she said.
In making the latest decision, the board con-sidered Wood’s respect-ful interactions with staff and residents at his community residential facility, that he secured a full-time job, surrounds
himself with positive associates and continues to take responsibility for his actions.
“Th e board acknowl-edges that your index off ence took a life and
your actions with the surviving victim were abhorrent,” the decision states, refer-ring to the fact Wood pushed, punched and swore at Connor McCron following the collision.
“Th e board fi nds that you have
made positive progress in observable and mea-surable ways… You are not considered to have entrenched criminal be-haviour… You reported-ly have insight into your risk factors and into the plight you have caused
by your dangerous actions on the road.”
Th e release was grant-ed with “reasonable and necessary” special conditions. Wood is not to consume, possess or purchase alcohol; not to enter any establish-ment where the primary source of income is from the sale or consump-
tion of alcohol; to follow a substance-abuse treatment plan; not to consume, purchase or possess drugs other than prescribed medications; and not to associate with anyone he knows or has reason to believe is involved in criminal activity or substance abuse.

A recent column on the B.C. govern-ment’s decision to raise speed limits on portions of rural highways excited numerous comments from readers.
Some questioned my suggestion that today’s new drivers are worse because they spend their formative years star-ing at screens in the back seat instead of looking out the window and grasp-ing the grim physics of the real world.
Th ere is no doubt that B.C.’s gradu-ated licensing system for new drivers is more diffi cult than what my genera-tion faced. Th ose vehicle stickers with the “L” (for learner, or as teens prefer “loser”) and “N” (for novice, or in teen-speak “nerd”) have been around since 1998. Th e two steps make getting a full driver’s licence a longer, more diffi cult and expensive process.
Statistics provided by ICBC show what new drivers are up against.
First there is the written “knowledge test” to obtain a learner’s permit. From 2004 to 2008, more than half of applicants failed in their fi rst attempt. Th ings improved in subsequent years,
with a 46-per-cent failure rate in 2009 declining to 42 per cent by 2013.
Th e fi rst road test is required to go from “L” to “N” and it seems suffi -ciently harsh. Th e failure rate has been consistently around 47 per cent in the past six years. More practice and another $35 are required to try again.
Students fare better on the sec-ond road test, where the failure rate has consistently been 21-22 per cent for the past decade.
ICBC reports that in the fi rst three years of the graduated licence program, the new driver crash rate dropped by 16 per cent. In 2003, the required learner and novice period were extended, and restrictions on the novice stage were increased. New driv-er crashes fell by another 28 per cent.
Th ose restrictions include the num-ber of passengers and a “zero toler-ance” for alcohol.
Impaired crash and injury statistics aren’t available for drivers in the grad-uated licence program, only fatalities. Th ey grew as more new drivers were
enrolled in the new system, to a high of 24 in 2007, but that declined to 14 by 2012.
Th ere will always be young people who drive impaired, speed or make other fatal errors. But it’s diffi cult to argue that today’s system in B.C. is lenient.
A couple of readers were concerned about the effect of higher rural speed limits on older drivers. One suggest-ed that higher limits on rural high-ways are a poor mix with vacationing seniors hauling around oversized motorhomes, trailers and boats.
Another cited the coming wave of retired baby boomers and added a likely increase in marijuana-impaired drivers, all emboldened by the invita-tion to drive faster.
B.C.’s medical health officers issued a letter denouncing the decision by Transportation Minister Todd Stone to raise speed limits. Provin-cial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall
said the research is clear that higher speeds increase the risk and severity of incidents.
Then there is the government’s own position, articulated in a road safety strategy released last year by Attorney General Suzanne Anton.
“Research is conclusive that at higher speeds, more people are killed and injured in the traffic system,” it states. “At lower speeds, fewer are killed and injured as a direct result of the safety buffer that lowered speeds create.”
The strategy notes that new tech-nologies such as adaptive cruise con-trol are becoming available. B.C. is also testing electronic highway speed limit signs that change with weather and traffic conditions.
Next comes self-driving vehicle sys-tems, so drivers will be able to check their phones again.
Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.
It shouldn’t come as any great surprise that a recent ICBC survey found many parents are passing along poor driving habits to their teenagers.
What is less expected is only about one-third of them seem to be aware of the impact their bad behaviour is having.
Whether it’s speeding, fail-ing to come to a complete stop or not properly concentrating on the task at hand, for some, the rules of the road tend to grow a little hazy over the years. And the more comfort-able we get behind the wheel, the more corners we cut.
Th anks to experience, most of the time, it works out.
But for young drivers, who in all likelihood still occasion-ally fl ip on the wipers when they mean to signal a turn, there is an overwhelming
amount of information com-ing at them fast.
Add heavy traffi c, aggressive drivers and a seemingly end-less succession of construction projects to create stress and confusion, and new drivers have enough to deal with.
“Driving is particularly risky for new drivers because they lack experience. Not only are they more prone to crash but on average, 18 per cent of crashes involving young drivers result in an injury or fatality,” ICBC points out.
Allowing teens to start out with bad habits passed down – however inadvertently – is like setting them up to fail.
Along with the caveat, ICBC off ers a few tips for parents as they prepare their teens for one of the (simultaneously)
greatest freedoms and respon-sibilities they will ever know.
When possible, they suggest, provide your teen with a vehi-cle that is a manageable size and has good visibility and an automatic transmission.
Write and sign a family contract, laying out in no un-certain terms what is expected and the consequences of vio-lating the agreement. Ensure they have a fi rm grasp of the rules and regulations.
Most important, they say, parents should remove them-selves from an emotionally charged situation and allow an expert to provide instruction. Whatever the cost, it’s worth it to know you’re giving them their best shot at success.
And, of course, it never hurts to set a good example.

I don’t think that it is okay that Ottawa has given approval for the Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipeline to proceed. I believe that the people of the province should have the say whether or not the pipeline goes through.
I know that we vote the govern-ment in, but I did not vote for the Conservatives. Th ere should be a provincial referendum so that we, the people of the province, have a say on what is to be done.
Yes, it will create jobs, but when it is fi nished what happens to all the people that helped build it? I must write this so that others can see what one Canadian has to say about the pipeline. Maybe others might think the same and if there are enough of us, things might change and a referendum might be held so that people of B.C. will at least think they have a say in what happens.
Th e price of fuel is outra-geous in this province, which is ridiculous. We have our own resources in this country, yet we farm our oil out to countries to refi ne, and then they sell it back to us and we end up paying more for it than the refi ning nation.
Has any one thought of pay-ing the people of this country royalties on the oil that is ex-ported? Th ey give the people of Dubai royalties, why not do the same in this province?

Parents organizing a rally supporting teachers’ concerns at the legislature in Vic-toria recently correctly stated that current contract negotiations are not about teacher greed, as government suggests. At issue is the sustainability of an inclusive, accessible and academically rigorous public education system. If we truly value such a system, we must be vocal to ensure it is funded.
Currently, the Canadian public school system is internationally recognized as world class. In Canada, the majority of Ca-nadian families enrol their children in public schools. I was surprised, therefore, when a school trustee attending this rally indicated not all trustees support or understand the vital role of public education.
As citizens, we need to ask if our children’s interests are being well represented by our offi cials. By all appearances, the public sys-tem is increasingly incorporating elements of a privatized system (i.e. academies which require “tuition fees” from parents) – except it is funded less and less adequately.
We need to ask hard questions to ensure our offi cials fulfi ll their mandate: Are you willing to support public education at the expense of private education? Conceivably, the answers from current and potential trustees may help us better understand where tax dollars are being spent.
In the meantime, let your voice be heard strongly defending public education.

My congratulations on a fi ne “Viewpoint” in the July 17 issue “Kudos for tree hug-gers,” by Frank Bucholtz.
As a director/treasurer of the Green Timbers Heritage Society (GTHS) and a 28-year volunteer for Surrey heritage, I have seen Surrey go from a rural to a paved community.
Th ank you so much for a well-thought-out and clear criticism, pros and cons, of the pitiful lip service the cur-rent Surrey council has done for tree preservation.
Th e greatest weakness in its tree bylaw is that Sur-rey-owned land is exempt.
Th e long eff ort by GTHS to protect/promote the preser-vation of the “urban forest” is again in jeopardy as once again parcels are cut off for pavement and facilities. We hope that your Viewpoint will be a catalyst to reawaken the Surrey public to these threats and loopholes, especially in the threats against already set-aside green space.

A North Surrey doggie daycare has been shut down by the city amid reports that the owner
was allegedly taping dogs’ snouts shut.
But the owner has kept operating, despite the fact the city con-tinues to issue fi nes
for operating without proper permits.
Noise complaints about the daycare at a home in the 10900-block of Partridge Crescent came about six months ago, according to Surrey’s Manager of Bylaw Enforcement Jas Rehal.
Th en came accusations of abuse – that the dogs’ mouths were being taped shut.
Rehal said bylaw offi cers witnessed that, and alerted the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Th e SPCA is currently investigating the com-plaints.
At the end of June, Surrey pulled the day-care’s business licence.
Rehal said a woman is continuing to operate the daycare, despite the fact she’s been issued three to four fi nes of $500 apiece.
Th e city is now exam-ining its legal options on how to close the business down.
Rehal said the city wants the fastest reso-lution to the problem.
Th ere are a total of 31 doggie daycares in Sur-rey, Rehal said, and no such complaints have been received about any of the others.
“No, I checked that yesterday, and this is the only one,” Rehal said.
Periodically, there are complaints elsewhere of dogs barking, but nothing that can’t be resolved.

A senior was stabbed to death near the Front Room Drop In Centre in Whalley early Friday, sparking a man-hunt for his killer.
At about 6:30 a.m., Donald Williams Deweyn, 63, was fatally stabbed out-side the building in the 10600-block of 135A Street, colloquially known as Whalley’s notorious strip.
Deweyn had no criminal record, police say.
Th e Integrated Homicide Investiga-tion Team (IHIT) has taken custody of the investigation.
A motive for the killing has not been determined as of yet, but police say witnesses heard an argu-ment between Deweyn and another man.
It is Surrey’s tenth murder of the year.
Surrey has typically seen about 13 murders a year over the last decade, except for last year when it hit an all-time record of 25.
IHIT is asking anyone with infor-mation to contact the IHIT tipline at 1-877-551-4448 or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Unionized container truckers say the province and Port Metro Vancouver hav-en’t done enough to crack down on rate undercutting within their industry since a deal ended a 28-day strike this spring.
New minimum rates were supposed to be enforced – complaints would be investigat-ed by the province and then the port could suspend or even ban off ending companies from access to the container terminals.
Unifor spokesman Gavin McGarrigle said the province promised to enact leg-islation in the fall to do its part, but the union’s members feel that may not come
fast enough.“It could erupt very quickly into another
dispute,” McGarrigle said of the simmering tensions.
Unionized drivers’ jobs are at risk because their companies are losing work to cut-rate non-union trucking fi rms that don’t abide by the minimum rates, he said.
“If we have a company with 50 trucks and all of a sudden 20 of us aren’t going to be working because someone isn’t playing by the terms of the action plan, are we supposed to just sit and wait at home while the province has its summer vacation?”
He said minimum rates agreed in the strike settlement were to have been in eff ect within 30 days of the return to work in late March.
“Here we are 100-plus days out and they haven’t taken the necessary measures to
backstop the action plan to make it binding,” McGarrigle said.
Port Metro Vancouver spokesman John Parker-Jer-vis said the port has set up a whistleblower line where container truckers can lodge complaints on matters from rate undercutting to exces-sive waits at port terminals.
Th e line has been in place four weeks and has received more than 100 complaints so far.
Parker-Jervis said there haven’t been any licence sus-pensions yet but a number of investigations are ongoing.
He said the port has made substantial
progress on completing the Joint Action Plan that ended the strike.
Completed measures include the opening of terminals at night to reduce congestion and installation of GPS units in all trucks to improve effi ciency and so drivers can be compensated for unreasonable waits.
A statement from Trans-portation Minister Todd Stone emailed by his staff said the province is working through the summer to com-plete the remaining com-mitments from the strike
settlement and thanked truckers “for their patience and restraint.”

With less than a week to go until it closes forever, the Clova Cinema is adding events to its fi nal weekend, starting with a screening of the Rocky Horror Picture Show on Friday, Aug. 1.
Tickets are on sale ($10 in advance, $15 at the door) for the cult fi lm, showing at 9:30 p.m. Costumes are encouraged, and prop bags ($5) will be available.
Th e Clova is also hosting the second-annual Amazing Race Cloverdale.
Teams of four to six members can regis-ter for the fun-fi lled challenge, slated for
Saturday, Aug. 2 in the historic town centre, starting at noon at the Clova.
Later on, the Clova presents ABRA Cadabra, an ABBA tribute band (tickets are $30 for adults, $20 for children).
Th e weekend wraps up with Th e Great Clova Auction on Sunday, Aug. 3 at 1:30 p.m., when fans can purchase a piece of Clova history.
Th e Clova opened in 1947. A digital projec-tor would have ushered in a new era for the Clova, but operator Craig Burghardt wasn’t able to secure a long-term lease with the building’s owner. Th e cinema had organized an inventive fundraising campaign in hopes of securing enough cash to modernize the projection system. But in March, the building was sold to a church.
Th e family-owned single screen cinema – one of the last of its kind in operation in the Lower Mainland – is located at 5732 176 St.

Unionized container truckers say the province and Port Metro Vancouver hav-en’t done enough to crack down on rate undercutting within their industry since a deal ended a 28-day strike this spring.
New minimum rates were supposed to be enforced – complaints would be investigat-ed by the province and then the port could suspend or even ban off ending companies from access to the container terminals.
Unifor spokesman Gavin McGarrigle said the province promised to enact leg-islation in the fall to do its part, but the union’s members feel that may not come
fast enough.“It could erupt very quickly into another
dispute,” McGarrigle said of the simmering tensions.
Unionized drivers’ jobs are at risk because their companies are losing work to cut-rate non-union trucking fi rms that don’t abide by the minimum rates, he said.
“If we have a company with 50 trucks and all of a sudden 20 of us aren’t going to be working because someone isn’t playing by the terms of the action plan, are we supposed to just sit and wait at home while the province has its summer vacation?”
He said minimum rates agreed in the strike settlement were to have been in eff ect within 30 days of the return to work in late March.
“Here we are 100-plus days out and they haven’t taken the necessary measures to
backstop the action plan to make it binding,” McGarrigle said.
Port Metro Vancouver spokesman John Parker-Jer-vis said the port has set up a whistleblower line where container truckers can lodge complaints on matters from rate undercutting to exces-sive waits at port terminals.
Th e line has been in place four weeks and has received more than 100 complaints so far.
Parker-Jervis said there haven’t been any licence sus-pensions yet but a number of investigations are ongoing.
He said the port has made substantial
progress on completing the Joint Action Plan that ended the strike.
Completed measures include the opening of terminals at night to reduce congestion and installation of GPS units in all trucks to improve effi ciency and so drivers can be compensated for unreasonable waits.
A statement from Trans-portation Minister Todd Stone emailed by his staff said the province is working through the summer to com-plete the remaining com-mitments from the strike
settlement and thanked truckers “for their patience and restraint.”

With less than a week to go until it closes forever, the Clova Cinema is adding events to its fi nal weekend, starting with a screening of the Rocky Horror Picture Show on Friday, Aug. 1.
Tickets are on sale ($10 in advance, $15 at the door) for the cult fi lm, showing at 9:30 p.m. Costumes are encouraged, and prop bags ($5) will be available.
Th e Clova is also hosting the second-annual Amazing Race Cloverdale.
Teams of four to six members can regis-ter for the fun-fi lled challenge, slated for
Saturday, Aug. 2 in the historic town centre, starting at noon at the Clova.
Later on, the Clova presents ABRA Cadabra, an ABBA tribute band (tickets are $30 for adults, $20 for children).
Th e weekend wraps up with Th e Great Clova Auction on Sunday, Aug. 3 at 1:30 p.m., when fans can purchase a piece of Clova history.
Th e Clova opened in 1947. A digital projec-tor would have ushered in a new era for the Clova, but operator Craig Burghardt wasn’t able to secure a long-term lease with the building’s owner. Th e cinema had organized an inventive fundraising campaign in hopes of securing enough cash to modernize the projection system. But in March, the building was sold to a church.
Th e family-owned single screen cinema – one of the last of its kind in operation in the Lower Mainland – is located at 5732 176 St.

It took a 48-game regular season and a best-of-three playoff round, but the fi eld is set for the B.C. Premier Baseball League (PBL) cham-pionship tournament next weekend at Whalley Stadium.
Th e fi ve-team tournament will run Friday through Monday, and the host Whal-ley Chiefs will be competing against the Langley Blaze, North Shore Twins, Victoria Mariners and Vancouver Can-nons for the championship of the elite 18-and-under league.
Th e fi ve teams will play a round robin Friday through Sunday, with the top three teams playing off Monday.
Th e Blaze, North Shore and the Mariners were the top three teams in the PBL over the past four months by a wide
margin. Langley fi nished atop the standings with a 35-12 (won-lost) record, but need-ed three games to eliminate the eighth-place Nanaimo Pirates in their playoff series last weekend in Langley.
Th e North Shore Twins were in sec-ond place at 32-12, and also needed three games to advance in the playoff s, knocking out the Victoria Eagles in North Vancouver.
Victoria placed third in the fi nal league standings at 34-14, and hosted the White Rock Tritons, winning the series in two games.
Th e Cannons were the lone team to win their playoff series
on the road. After a fi fth-place fi nish (26-22), they travelled to Kelowna and upset the fourth-place Athletics (28-20) in three games.
Chiefs general manager Paul Hargreaves isn’t surprised by the four teams which have qualifi ed for the championship tournament, correctly predict-ing the PBL’s top squads back in early April.
“North Shore, Langley (Blaze), Vancou-ver (Cannons) and probably the Victoria Mariners are the odds-on favorites to reach the fi nal four,” said Hargreaves prior to the fi rst pitch of the 48-game PBL regular season.
While the Twins, Langley,
Vancouver and Mariners have been at or near the top of the PBL, the Chiefs struggled in 20-14.
A bright spot was designated
hitter Jacob Robazza fi nishing the season as the PBL’s batting champion, hitting .438 with 25 runs batted in (RBI) and a league-best four triples. Th e Fraser Heights Secondary stu-dent was the only player in the league to hit better than .400.
Off ensively, the Chiefs rank with the best in the PBL, with a team average of .275 that trailed only the Twins (.291) and Mariners (.277). Th e Blaze were right behind Whalley at .273 while Vancouver hit .258.
It was pitching where the Chiefs struggled, their 4.17 ERA (earned run average) behind all opponents except the Parksville Royals (4.88).
Victoria led the league with a 1.93 ERA, followed by the Blaze at 1.95 and the North Shore at 2.10.
“Some days our pitchers are world beaters,” said Hargreaves. “But it depends how they start. If they get through the fi rst two innings unscathed, they only get better.

Parm Phangura is in Glasgow, Scotland for his second Commonwealth Games.
But as far as the 35-year-old Surrey weight-lifter is concerned, it might as well be his first time as an actual competitor.
A three-time national champion, Phangura qualified for the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India. But after flight delays and longer-than-expected layovers resulted in a 40-hour trek to get to Delhi, he contracted an illness soon after arriving and was in no shape to be at his best during competition.
“I got sick and lost 15 pounds in three days,” he recalled. “Those Games started bad for me. I competed, but I bombed out. I missed all three lifts.
“But it’s just part of sports. So after that, the goal was to get back to the Commonwealth Games.”
Phangura had planned to retire a couple of years ago, but wondering how he might have fared had be been healthy in 2010 prompt-ed him to postpone retirement and continue lifting.
He reached qualifying standards at the West-ern Canadian championships in Winnipeg last March, but had to wait until early June to be notified he was selected for the Canadian team heading to Glasgow.
He declared a medal was the goal for Delhi, but four years later he is happy just to be there, do his best, and see how it compares to other lifters.
“I have other responsibilities now, like my daughter, who is six,” he said. “So I am more of a part-time athlete now, going up against some full-time competitors.
“I am ranked in the top five among the lifters who will be there, and the top three are well ahead of the rest of us. But you never know what happens in competition.”
Phangura will compete on Wednesday (July 30) in the 105 kg. class. And no matter what happens, this will be his last competition.
“Oh yeah, this is the last kick at it,” he said. “I have my own company, teaching weight train-ing to athletes in many different sports. It’s nice to meld into that now that my (competi-tive) lifting is winding down.”
Three other Surrey athletes will be be competing at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, which run July 23 to Aug. 4.
Christabel Nettey, 23, will contest the long jump in the track and field competition Sunday (July 27). A graduate of Johnston Heights Sec-ondary, Nettey won a bronze medal at the 2013 Francophone Games with a leap of 6.63m, and her personal best is 6.75m.

“But sometimes they take two or three innings to get focused, but by then we’re down 3-1 or 4-1.”
During the regular
season, the Chiefs played four times against each oppo-nent. Th ey split the four games against the Cannons, won once against the North Shore and were winless against Langley and the
Mariners.Whalley will play

Whalley Little League’s Intermediate all-star team is in Livermore, California today for the fi rst game of the Intermediate World Series.
Th ey will play their fi rst game today (Tuesday), just four days after they claimed the Canadian championship with an 8-2 win over Ontario at the six-team national tournament in Calgary.
Whalley dominated the opposition in Calgary, winning all seven games played while outscoring their opponents by an average of 18-3. After scoring 95 runs in fi ve round robin games, B.C. defeated Quebec 13-3 in a semifi nal game to qualify for Friday’s fi nal against Ontario.
In the championship game, Whalley led 1-0 after one inning and 4-0 after two. Winning pitcher Winston Wong held Ontario to just three hits, and two runs which were scored in the bottom the the seventh inning. Wong struck out 10 Ontario batters.
Sean Sasaki led the Chiefs off ensively with a pair of hits. He, Adam Inouye and Evan Alexan-der had two RBIs each.
In the semifi nal game against Quebec, Whal-ley scored six times in the bottom of the fi rst inning. After Quebec cut the diff erence in half at 6-3, Whalley put up another fi ve runs in the bottom of the third frame to put the game well out of reach.
