Leave a few trees, why dont ya?environment

Amy Reidnow staffTwitter @amyreid87

While South Surrey hastraditionally been known for itslush green and tall timbers, ithas experienced much change over the pastdecade.That development has, unsurprisingly,

resulted in trees falling to the chainsaw. anew city report reveals Surrey has seen morethan a five per cent drop in its tree canopyover the past 12 years, nearly half of whichcame from South Surrey.That loss was the impetus behind the

creation of the newly formed grandviewHeights Stewardship association (gHSa).Tree canopy loss is a big concern that

we have in South Surrey especially becausethis is an area in transition, said gHSachair Victoria blinkhorn, who has calledgrandview home for 18 years.The organization formed because

many residents are concerned about treepreservation and infill development, sheadded.blinkhorn said when areas in grandview

are developed, its not uncommon to see justa handful of trees saved out of hundreds.Her motivation to get involved was

first sparked in 2004. That was when thegrandview general Land Use Plan wasbeing developed and there were concernsabout tree loss along 164th avenue.one side of that has now become

morgan Heights and theres been substantialtree loss there and theres a new infilldevelopment thats going to be taking 28 outof 214 trees down.blinkhorn said grandview Heights looks

enviously at subdivisions like ocean Park.

I look around and see beautiful treesthat have been retained on small lots. Itsall about density and of course services arenecessary but leave a few trees, why dontya?With the goal of engaging and

informing residents, gHSa has created acomprehensive website and is keeping aneye on upcoming projects.With the citys 100-metre notification

radius for new development, blinkhornsaid its easy to live down the street froma potential development and not knowanything about it.Small changes affect a lot of people.blinkhorn said the group may, on

occasion, seem critical of city policies butsaid its goal is to know the rules, to get thecity to follow them and to share information

with residents.While the area is made up of a wide

variety of demographics and housing from large acreages to dense townhousedevelopments blinkhorn said she hopesthe community can come together towork toward a common goal: Creating asustainable, livable, walkable, enjoyableneighbourhood.and most definitely, tree canopy is a big

part of that, she said.I think our ultimate goal is to have a

neighbourhood where community voices areheard in the build-out process, where nCPsare respected. It doesnt matter if you live ina tent or a condo or a mansion.Your homeis your home and you care whats going onaround it.

report shows steadydropfor the first time in its history, Surrey

has received a comprehensive report on itstree canopy, the analysis excluding only theagricultural Land reserve.first revealed at an environmental

sustainability advisory committee lastWednesday, the report showed the citys tree

canopy was 33 per cent in 2001, 30 per centin 2009, and by 2013 had dropped to 27.7per cent.forty three per cent of that loss was in

South Surrey, 20 per cent in guildford, withthe remainder distributed amongst otherneighbourhoods.In 2009, single-family lots in South Surrey

had an average tree canopy of 47.8 per cent.new developments are now averaging 7.7per cent.from 2001 to 2013, the City of Surrey

issued tree-cutting permits for 102,347, and124,403 were replaced.Without changes in Surreys current

practices, the report expects the citys treecanopy to drop to somewhere between 21 to27 per cent in 50 years.So, how does the city plan to continue to

see population growth, and reverse the treeloss trend at the same time?environmental committee chair Coun.

bruce Hayne said the city has a fewstrategies in the works.first, the city plans to encourage urban

infill, as opposed to greenfill development,which is essentially building onundeveloped land, Hayne said.The city also has plans to steer dense

projects to town centres, Hayne added.So if we look at City Centre for instance,

there are literally thousands of homesbuilt in City Centre in the coming yearsin the form of high rises. They are goingto have a very minimal impact on our treecanopy and yet its going to allow us to addthousands of residents, he said.We have to look at smart developments

in our town centres, along ourtransportation corridors, and try and takethe pressure off some of those other lands.Hayne said the citys recently adopted

biodiversity Conservation Strategy wouldalso come into play.That is a target to preserve 10,000

acres in the city in total in perpetuity in itsabsolute natural state, he said.

group disturbed butnot surprised as reportshows loss of tree canopy,mostly in South Surrey

Clearcuts like this one at 164th Street and 25A Avenue are the impetus behind thecreation of the newly formed Grandview stewardship association. (Photo: Submitted)

ENGAGE

Hayne added that the stick trees beingplanted to replace mature trees comingdown through development may not add tothe tree canopy right now, but will down theroad.Those stick trees become beautiful big

oaks lining residential boulevards overtime. So that will naturally increase the treecanopy as well looking out 30, 40 yearsfrom now.Hayne said the city has a pretty

ambitious goal of reaching a 40 per centtree canopy by 2058, but is optimistic it canbe achieved.I know there are some communities and

some folks that see development and seetrees coming down and feel that, Wow, werelosing trees here, there and everywhere. Andin some of those new developments we are.And in some places were increasing our treecanopy,Hayne said.We have to also keep in mind that just

because theres a corner lot that has a wholebunch of trees on it doesnt mean its apublic asset. That corner lot has been ownedby somebody for many years and theyrewaiting until the time is right for them todo something with that land. So we haveto realize that, we have to respect that andwe have to then guide our developmentstrategies in a way thats going to preserve asmuch forested land as we can.AtWednesdays committee meeting,

Hayne said there was much discussion aboutthe report.We talked about putting trees into our

2015 work plan because we want to lookfurther at it.We want to look at some of theissues surrounding the tree preservationbylaws and the tree replacement bylaws andthings like that to make sure that were doingit in a balanced way.Once the committee looks at the issues, it

will forward its recommendations to council.Vice-chair of the committee, Bob

Campbell, believes the citys target of 2058 istoo far off.Im going to be dead by then, he said,

adding hed like to see a shorter-term target.

Campbell called the report disturbing.Its obviously going in the wrong

direction.Campbell has proposed changes to

Surreys tree policies in the past.He says the citys cut twice, build once

policy is levelling forests.In a letter to the editor earlier this year he

wrote, Surrey allows developers to guess atwhere the eventual lot purchased will buildtheir houses, put their driveways, etc., andthen to clear the property to match theseguesses.When lots are sold, the buyers oftendecide to place their houses and drivewaysin different locations.He wrote the city would argue it places a

restrictive covenant on any trees standingafter the first cut, but said, The reality isthat the city will not enforce these covenantsand usually allows the eventual lotpurchaser to cut additional trees.He said hed like to see a tree-friendly

approach, where the city could work withdevelopers to only allow trees to be removedfor basic servicing.Blinkhorn also weighed in on the tree

canopy report.The accelerated canopy depletion is not

surprising, she said. Is the citys tree-planting program a suitable substitute forold growth forest canopy which is beingrapidly depleted through development?The 40 per cent canopy target for 2058 is

positive and ambitious. Only the promisedtree bylaw-strengthening and compliance byeducation of the development industry willmake this target possible, she stated.Visit Grandviewstewardship.org.

Ayoung Surrey entrepreneur and his teamare on track to making an internationalname for themselves after coming upwith a unique concept for a startup company.Denny Hollick is one of a team of five

currently taking part in the Global StartupBattle, an international competition that pitsstartups against one another for a chance atbringing their ideas to life.The team, ConceptKicker, recently won the

Google-sponsored Vancouver StartupWeekend,which saw several groups come up withbusiness models and ideas within a 54-hourtime period.Our team actually wasnt even one of the top

15 ideas but we went with it anyways and endedup coming first, recalled Hollick, son of Nowpublisher Gary Hollick.The ConceptKicker idea is simple they

provide a platform for artists to sell 3D modelsof their art to fans that may otherwise have noway of owning a piece.Likewise, it provides artists the ability to

get their work out to new audiences at anaffordable price.A lot of the time, these artists have fan

followings and so what we can do is make iteasier for them to sell their art to fans instead ofonly being able to sell it to video game or movieproducers, he said.To do this, artists can begin a ConceptKicker

campaign offering 3D-printed models of theirwork and if a certain number of buyers arecommitted, that work of art is then printedand shipped out. The idea is similar to othercrowd-funding methods like Kickstarter andIndiegogo.As for the method, Hollick said the team is

working with a 3D printing company that usesboth powder-based or filament 3D printing.So we can print in full 3D colour and were

going to be experimenting with differenttypesit all depends on what the artist wants,he said.Asked about a pricing and profit model,

Hollick said smaller campaigns may onlyconsist of 10 prints priced at $150 each, whilelarger runs could require 50 pieces being soldat around $30 or so. Profits will then be splitbetween ConceptKicker and the artists.Basically were doing this for artists, he said,

pointing out independent concept artists anddesigners, the majority of those artists, they doit for fun and dont get paid to do it.While an early version of ConceptKicker

will be launching soon, winning the GlobalStartup Battle will mean the team gets ampleopportunities and resources to turn its idea intoa full-fledged business.To vote for the ConceptKicker team, go

online to http://bit.ly/1vUPMD2. The firstphase of the contest consists of a mix of onlinevoting and judging, after which finalists arechosen. Online voting ends Dec. 3.

WHaLLeY Keys: Housing and HealthSolution Society has merged with Lookoutemergency aid Society in an effort to makelarger social impacts together.The biggest win that our organization

sees in the future for Surrey is that Lookout,as an organization, spanning from thenorth Shore all the way to Surrey now, canreally leverage local housing investmentfrom senior levels of government, saidShayneWilliams, former Keys director, whonow serves as executive director of Lookout.The volume of connections is massive. Itslike going from the aaa team to the bigleagues.While Lookout Society is largely

Vancouver-based, its Surrey facilities willoperate as a satellite. Its hoped the mergerwill encourage community-driven andmade-in-Surrey programs guided byLookouts vision.The Lookout Society has a history of

working with communities and arrivingat solutions tailor-made for each city,Williams noted.Lookout has been around for 43 years and

operates close to 300 shelter beds throughfacilities in north Vancouver, Vancouver,burnaby and newWestminster.The group also operates transitional and

affordable housing, with a total of 1,050beds.If you include the outreach programs

and the drop-in were probably seeingroughly 2,000 people a day just at Lookout.Williams said Keys has faced some

criticism over the years, largely because theorganization is trying to help hundreds ofpeople with limited resources.If you look at the visible homeless in

Surrey north, which has a long history, itgoes back to the 50s and 60s, long beforethe Keys organization, but now that Keys isthe only government-funded organizationworking with these folks, theres been alot of community judgment on the typesof services. So from that, its harmed the

reputation of the organization somewhatand affected its ability to advocate to seniorlevels of government.Keys has been around for 20 years and

employs roughly 90 people. It runs the frontroom drop-in centre and the barrier-free,40-bed gateway shelter and other programsincluding abstinence-based, health and HIVprograms.The current buildings were constructed

in the mid-70s, andWilliams said theorganization and the people it serves struggle with the poor insulation andventilation.neither building is purpose-built, so

theres a lot of talk about the new sheltercoming up,Williams said, referring tothe city working to find a location for anew purpose-built operation. one of thechallenges is these old retrofitted buildingsjust arent made to serve the people thatare accessing it. The whole of the Keysorganization, we had 17 units of housing,thats it for the 350 people we saw everyday. Literally no transitional housing to getpeople off the streets.and while Keys will be adopting

Lookouts name, Keys will live on.Thats going to continue as a

foundation a money arm for the Lookoutorganization,Williams explained. all theprogramming will be operated by Lookout.Thats to harmonize the service provisionacross the region.megan baillie, director of operations for

Keys, said shes excited to be joining theLookout society.Lookout is the gold standard for shelter

operations in the Lower mainland whileKeys is Coa (Council on accreditation)accredited and has had some of thebest housing successes in the province.both organizations have a long historyof successfully serving vulnerable clientpopulations through low-barrier services.bringing the organizations togetherwill provide an even greater continuumof services for clients within the Lowermainland, baillie said.

When we called photojournalist Kevin Hill onTuesday morning to assign him a photo to accompanyour powerful and emotionally charged two-page reporton drinking and driving, we knew two things.first, it had to be worthy of the front page.Second, it had to carry impact.after brainstorming for a few minutes, we came up

with two options: a photo of an officer conducting abreathalyzer test and the photo you see at the top of thispage. for us, the choice was simple.good journalism and this includes photojournalism

must sometimes hit people in the gut to be effective.our intent was not to shock or to offend. rather, our

intent in using this photo was to help prevent the sceneit portrayed from playing out in our communities.Perhaps you will think of this photo the next time you

are tempted to get behind the wheel after drinking.Perhaps your child will think of this photo several

years from now when they are about to get into afriends car after a house party.Perhaps all the discussion our photo has sparked will

bring more awareness and will help keep our familiessafer while driving in our citys streets.If thats the case, we have done our job. The now

Your view

I am very disgusted in the photo you have used inThursdays the Now.What on earth were you thinkingand who thought this was a good idea?How do you think my four-year-old daughter reacted

to this photo when she picked up the newspaper for metoday? How do you explain to a four-year-old what thisphoto is about or why it is on the front of a newspaper?one can only assume the editor, beau Simpson, had

the opportunity to see this disgusting photo chosen forthe front of the paper and thought it was a good idea.

Greg Tomyk, Surrey

How very disturbing it was to see the extremelygraphic picture on the front cover of the Now.I was disgusted.While I completely agree that

drinking and driving is an extremely serious issue, doesa graphic picture such as this need to be displayed onthe front page where there is no choice but to see it?my young daughter does not need to see graphic

image such as this on our coffee table and I am suremany other parents of young children would agree.

Robin St. Andrews, Surrey

facebook posts

Our Facebook page had nearly 200 comments as ofMonday morning, most of them supporting our decisionto use the photo. Here are just a few of them:

Rochelle Scrivener Im glad my 11 year old saw this.I want this image ingrained in his head if it means itllpop up when or if hes 16 and wants to get behind thewheel intoxicated...

Lisa Aren Losing one reader - pfftttt - gaining manythat may learn a lesson from this ad and live - priceless!

Andy Schellenberg oh darn guess your daughtermay not drink and drive when shes older. Thank thepaper when she hits 30.

Ginger Leah Gervais no need to sugarcoat howdangerous drinking and driving is. These children willbe adults someday. The earlier the awareness, the betterin my opinion.

ThomMarshall Very powerful and poignantmessage. Sometimes in your face messages are necessary,this one sure is.

How do you explainsick photo to children?

Harsh reality of photomeant to hit you in gut

Despite the promises youhear chanted on burnabymountain, there is no waythe oil industry will be out of ourlives in our lifetime.oil is everywhere. It affects

everything. The clothes youwear, the computer you use, thetelevision you watch, the food youeat all are touched by oil at somepoint, either at the creation stage oron their journey to the consumer.a recent book by journalist

rose george, entitled 90 Per Centof Everything, documents thatalmost everything you use in lifehas travelled to your destinationby container ships, fueled by dieseloil. She spent a year on those ships,noting that pretty well everythingwe buy, we ship.The little-noticed world of

shipping, and the irreplaceablerole it plays in the world, is justone example of how deeply oil hasseeped into our daily lives.Preventing a pipeline, as those

on burnaby mountain are hopingto do, may sound noble but it willhave absolutely no impact on the

oil industry. It is too massive, toodeeply entrenched in our societyfor the halting of a pipelinesconstruction in a tiny corner ofthe world to constitute more thana tiny blip in the overall scheme ofthings.The protest against the Kinder

morgan pipeline has beencompared to the Clayoquot Soundwar of the woods protest inthe 1990s. The two are decidedlydifferent. The forestry protest wasabout ending clear-cutting loggingof old growth timber, a practicevery few people had any personalexperience with. but the pipelineprotest is about oil, which toucheseveryone, every single day.While it was easy to target the

forest industry back then, it ismore than a bit disingenuous forenvironmentalists to demonize theoil industry including that whichoperates in the alberta tar sands while they, like everyone else, usesso much of that industrys product.There is a refusal by many of

those on burnaby mountain toacknowledge this unavoidablefact, and to pretend that there isno inconsistency in advocatingfor eliminating or weakening anindustry while at the same timerelying on that same industry fortheir livelihood.of course, some do acknowledge

this inconsistency and say justbecause they drive a car, thatdoesnt mean they cant worktowards curbing carbon emissions.fair enough, but lost in thechanting and rhetoric that flowsfrom the Kinder morgan protesters(or enbridge protesters) is anynotion of realism.Instead, they project a romantic

vision that is simply unattainable.oil is here to stay, until there is nomore of it left.another example of the quiet

little inconsistency that exists forso many of those who condemnthe oil industry, especially thealberta oil sands, is the pensionfund they pay into.The b.C. public sector pension

fund is administered by theb.C. Investment managementCorporation, which has morethan $100 billion in investmentsthat fund the pensions for morethan 500,000 people teachers,professors, mLas, municipalworkers etc.Public sector unions such as

CUPe and the b.C. Teachersfederation have been at theforefront when it comes toattacking the oil sands industry. Yettheir members stand to financiallybenefit from that very industry,because of the inescapable roleoil plays in pretty well everything,

including their pensions.The bCImCs investment

holdings include $603 millioninvested in Suncor, one of thelargest oil sands companies.another $409 million is withenbridge, while $372 million iswith Canadian natural resourcesand $284 million is parked withexxon mobil.all told, the bCImC has almost

$3.6 billion invested in the oilsands alone (including, ironically,a small stake in Kinder morgan).Plus another half billion dollarsin companies associated withpipelines. Plus hundreds ofmillions of dollars in alberta realestate including a property infort mcmurray, which is groundZero for the tar sands and thealberta government itself, all ofwhich benefit hugely from thatprovinces oil sands development.Want to fight climate change?

Drive less, fly less and buy less.but dont for a moment think thatshutting down a pipeline is goingto have any impact whatsoever,other than easing some guiltyconsciences of people who willcontinue to use the oil industryjust as much as they did before theprotests on burnaby mountain.

The Editor,re: Child care too costly

for Surrey families, the Nowletters, nov. 25.Jinny Sims, mP newton-

north Delta, was way offbase suggesting that Surreyfamilies are paying themost for child care in theprovince.families in trendy areas

like Kitsalano andWestVancouver pay far morethan residents of Surrey, atleast $300 more per child.my wife is an early

childhood educator. Shehas 20 years in the business,the past 15 running her ownsmall multi-aged facility(Kids Kove) in Surrey.She was a teacher in Peru

and clients pay about $40 aday, which, in many cases,works out to less than $5 anhour. You would pay yourbabysitter (who took a two-hour course) more thanthis, yet people complainabout the cost.for $40 a day, my wife has

to not only care for the childbut also create programs,shop for toys and books,fill out government subsidyforms and other paperworkto run her business, dealwith the parents and theirdifferent schedules, takecourses to stay current,study and renew her firstaid every few years, look fornew clients, make policiesand procedures, newsletters,supervise her assistant, andmuch more behind thescenes work.Why should the federal

government subsidize childcare and give it to peoplefor $15 a day? Sims talksabout the jobs that wouldbe created. If that were tohappen, they would below-paying jobs for theworking poor no unions,no benefits. They are at thebottom of the barrel withrestaurant and low-endcustomer service jobs. Thiswould be oK if you are incollege or university but notmuch good for looking aftera family.

There arent many people who havebeen in every recovery home inSurrey, but Mike Starchuk says hesone of them. The incoming councillor, oneof three new Surrey First members electedto council on Nov. 15, says dealing with theunethical operations in the city is top ofmind for him. And hes got a few ideas.Id like to see a program, a process come

to fruition, where we only have licensedby the city and registered by the provincerecovery homes. They serve a purpose, henoted.The 32-year firefighter has served on the

frontlines, worked as an inspector and mostrecently spent a year-and-a-half as the citysChief Fire Prevention Officer.From that experience, he said hes seen

the stark difference between recovery homesthat help those in need, and those that aretaking advantage of people and causinghavoc on neighbourhoods.He mentions one by name Revolution

Recovery that he says is positivelycontributing to its neighbourhood.Their claim to fame is when it snows,

they shovel the five houses on either side oftheir house, and nine out of 10 driveways oneither side of the street, he said. They say,We know were a drain on the community.We dont want them having to come homefrom work and shovel their driveways. Theydont love them for that, but they toleratethem for that.Starchuk estimated 35 per cent of the

citys recovery homes are good ones. Theother 65 per cent are essentially flop houses,he said.They call themselves recovery homes

so they can go to the court system so theycan say, Ill take that person. Then, theycontinue to use freely amongst the otherpeople who live there, continue to do theircrimes out of that place, but its underthe guise of a recovery home thats notregulated.As well, many of the homes he calls

whack-a-moles, that relocate when theycome under greater scrutiny.They move down the street a block, we

go back, and theyre not there anymore.He said the current system isnt working,

and he hopes to make a difference once hehits his council chair.Im hoping when I get there, I can

motivate staff, bylaws and the ministry,he said. Once the city comes up with alicense whether its a $25 or $10 license it gives us more authority to knock on thatdoor from a fire department point of view,he noted. We can become the eyes of thepublic.We can become the eyes for thosepeople that arent being treated right.Starchuk also wants to work with the

courts.If you remember the Bollywood Hotel in

Newton, well we worked against the ownerto finally have it demolished. After it wasgone from the face of the earth for about sixmonths, a guy stood up in front of the courtsand said he had a recovery home at theBollywoodMotel. So judges dont know whotheyre releasing people to.Thats somebody that wants a cheque and

almost all of those times, theyll be forcedinto petty crimes, women will be pushedinto prostitution, guys will be back sellingdrugs on the street. And the guy running itcollects welfare and gets that cheque.

He plans to get Surreys fire chief, bylawsmanager and the Ministry of Health in thesame room to come up with a plan.These are things we can do to remove

petty crime, without ever touching onesingle RCMP officer, he noted.But Starchuk assured hes not a one-trick

pony. He hopes to work on other issues,including multiple and illegal suites.I saw those first hand, he noted. These

are scary fire traps. I personally believe wehave a solution.The idea revolves around checking up

with renters, giving them time to move outon their own, then shutting the suite downonce that individual or family has movedonto legal housing.He said the issue is tricky, as the city

doesnt want to remove affordable housingoptions, but cant overlook the safetyconcerns.Switching gears completely, Starchuk says

hes passionate about growing the citysoutdoor and indoor sporting facility stock.I like the way (Coun.) Tom (Gill) is

talking about capital projects. Like themovie the Field of Dreams, like they say, Ifyou build it, they will come, Surrey can starthaving world-class types of tournaments,he said.Starchuk noted that much progress has

already been made on that front.As a baseball tournament director in

the late 90s, when his children Ryan andShannon took part in the sport, he said itwas up to parents to ensure the venues wereup to snuff.We literally brought in paint, we brought

in our own lawnmowers to make the parkslook the way they did so when people camewe didnt look like the sticks.Playing baseball at Tamanawis Park back

then, Starchuk said parents had to callopposing teams to tell them they needed tobring lawn chairs.And there were no bathrooms, he said

with a chuckle. Today, its phenomenal.Starchuk said hed like to see something

more done with Bear Creek Park.I think it can go up a notch and I dont

know why it hasnt. There hasnt been muchof a change to that park for 20 years.That football field in the middle is the sameI played on when I was 15 years old. Itsexactly the same. The stands are no biggernow than when I was a kid.Issues aside, Starchuk said hes excited to

get to work.Along the campaign trail, he said he felt

like a rookie.Now, I feel like a kindergartener or

Grade 1 student waiting for new books andpencils and scissors and rulers. Im waitingto get into my desk and start learning newthings.

SURREY Surrey-based novelistGina McMurchy-Barber says shes mostdrawn to writing about young girls whohave a streak of tomboy in them.That would be consistent with her

heroine, Peggy Henderson, the 12-year-old archaeology buff in her latestCrescent Beach-based novel, Bone Deep.The book is the third in the bone

series, a set of juvenile and young-adult novels also known as YA about a girl with a penchant foradventure, which was released on Nov.15 across Canada. It hits bookshelves inthe U.S. on Dec. 9.Im drawn to girls that are strong

like that and I encourage that in thegirls that I teach,McMurchy-Barbersaid in an interview at the GuildfordLibrary.The writer, who began her career as

a journalist for the Peace Arch Newsand later became a reporter at theSurrey Leader, is a teacher for a privateMontessori school in Coquitlam. Shealso holds a degree in archaeology.Peggys character is an

amalgamation of a number of girls thatI knew, and a bit of myself in there,too. I think its important that womenare strong and courageous, the authorsaid.The idea for the initial book in the

series, called Reading the Bones, camefrom her background in archaeology

and was a teaching device wheninstructing her students to excavatesome artifacts.I had been given free reign to be

as creative as I wanted so I startedto teach history and I wrote the kidsstories and I was teaching themabout archaeology, she told theNow,explaining that Montessori employs agreat storymethod to get kids excitedfor learning.I wrote Reading the Bones that

summer as my great story as anintroduction to archaeology. That littleshort story became the basis of my firstnovel, and that novel has become verysuccessful.

The novel, released in 2009, wasshort-listed for the Silver Birch Awardand received a commendation forBest Books for Kids & Teens. For hernovels, McMurchy-Barber was therecipient of the Governor GeneralsAward for Excellence in TeachingCanadian History.I think what I like about childrens

books or YA books is that theyrehopeful. Im just that kind of person,she said of her foray into fictionwriting.Im not pessimistic, I dont have

that type of outlook in life that theresno hope. So in most kids books, theresalways this hope of a better future

or things will be OK whereas adultfiction, it often leaves you very empty.Bone Deep will definitely leave

readers with the former, as heroinePeggy is determined to join anexpedition of a 200-year-oldshipwreck and convinces the adultsin her life to let her take scuba divinglessons. Shes known to dig aroundthe Crescent Beach area uncoveringbones, and the book makes wittycommentary between the 12-year-oldprotagonist and an uptight great auntwhod rather have a niece with cleanhands.This kind of gumption is what

McMurchy-Barber means when shesays she likes to write about girls whoget their hands dirty.Its not so much writing about

me, the author digresses, but theway she talks, she is a bit of a smartalec. It is a bit of me in there. But Ialso have looked at young girls that Ihave taught and I tend to be drawn tothe spunky, tomboyish girls who areindependent and strong.McMurchy-Barber recently earned a

spot in the Authors Among Us series,in which shell be speaking at theGuildford Library next Wednesday(Dec. 3) at 7 p.m. The event, freeand open to the public, is for thoseinterested in writing and publishingbooks.Reading the Bones also earned a

spot among books on the ReadingChallenge Link list a challengefor kids who love books to competein a reach for the top contest for2014/2015. McMurchy-Barber willbe speaking at schools and librariesthroughout the Fraser Valley overJanuary and February.

SOME FACTS

The Trans Mountain Pipeline has been operating

between Edmonton, AB and Burnaby, BC

since 1953.

In April 2012, we proposed to expand the

pipeline by building a second pipeline

alongside the original.

Our goal for the entire route has been to build

adjacent to the existing pipeline within our existing

right-of-way. However, sometimes there are good

reasons to look at other options, such as safety

concerns, residential or industrial development that

has expanded since the original pipeline was built,

or environmental considerations.

Weve been engaging with Aboriginal groups,

Landowners, communities and stakeholders

since April 2012. Weve reached agreements

with 18 Aboriginal groups, to date.

The current work on Burnaby Mountain is to study

the proposed route through Burnaby Mountain.

Our application is before the National Energy

Board, an independent federal agency, to

determine if the project should be approved to

proceed in Canadas best interest. Ultimately, the

federal government will make the nal decision.

The National Energy Board has a recognized

process to voice concerns, ask questions

and introduce evidence for consideration.

Over 1,600 people in BC and Alberta have

registered to participate.

If approved to proceed, construction of the

expansion would begin in mid-2016 and would

be in operation by late 2018.

Lets talk.

Ian AndersonPresident, Kinder Morgan Canada

Youve probably seen us on the news recently regarding Burnaby Mountainand our Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project.

I think it would be good for us to talk.

Weve talked a lot with communities about their concerns and in Burnabythe feedback was to look into routing the pipeline through Burnaby Mountain,rather than through their streets and neighbourhood.

Our work on the mountain over the past few weeks has been a part of thatfeasibility study.Though we estimate it will cost Kinder Morgan $40 million morethan the original route through residential streets, we want to acknowledge thebest interests of the residents of Burnaby.

We are drilling two 6-inch diameter test holes to investigate the possibilityof routing the pipeline through Burnaby Mountain.We are being respectfulof the environment, and when we are done, we will leave the mountain ashealthy as we found it.

Unfortunately, demonstrators chose to block our crews from doing their workand, in order to maintain the safety of our employees, contractors and the public,we were forced to pursue legal action to secure our worksite.

Freedom of speech is fundamental to our way of life. Equally so is the Canadianright to go to work and conduct business safely.We have always believed thesetwo principles can coexist if we all communicate.

DELTA Residents of Delta will havea chance to sign condolences and honourlegendary hockey player, coach and GM PatQuinn.A community tribute has been set up by

the Corporation of Delta in the form ofmemorial boards at recreation facilities.Mayor Lois Jackson took a moment at

Delta councils weekly meeting on Nov. 24to recognize Quinn, the former VancouverCanucks bench boss who passed away onNov. 23 at 71 after a lengthy illness.Hockey has lost a great man. Known as

The Big Irishman, Pat was one of hockeysmost respected players and coaches. As apart-owner of the Vancouver Giants, Patwas very involved in the development ofhockey in our community and beyond, saidJackson.Pats support towards our local

fundraisers and initiatives, including Deltasanti-bullying campaign, was steadfast.And, of course, looking beyond our

community, Pat is revered both nationallyand internationally for his integral role inhockey, not only as a coach, but as a formerplayer and executive, she said.I want to express mine and councils

sincere condolences to Pats wife Sandra,and all of Pats family and friends, theVancouver Giants organization and theirfans, during this difficult time. Patsdedication to the game of hockey wastruly inspirational and will always beremembered. He will be sorely missed.Quinns connections to South Delta also

included another partnership with Giantsowner Ron Toigo in the Tsawwassen Springshousing development.Quinn was in the audience at several

council meetings and public hearings as theproposal made its way through the approvalprocess.His many hockey accomplishments

included guiding the Vancouver Canucks tothe 1994 Stanley Cup finals and coachingCanada to a gold medal at the 2002WinterOlympics.

Some experts havecast doubt on Islamistclaims, noting severalincongruities in reports

Jennifer Gerson and Bethany LindsayVancouver Sun

VanCoUVera spokesman forIsraels embassy in ottawa was unable toconfirmmonday whether gill rosenberg,an Israeli-Canadian woman raised inWhiterock, has been captured by ISIS extremistsafter joining Kurdish fighters in Syria.We havent got any concrete information

that we can share. everything is still speculation, said eitanWeiss, spokesmanfor the Israeli embassy. both of ourgovernments are anxiously investigating thissituation, trying to find out exactly whathappened.rosenberg has attracted a following since

she claimed on social media to have joinedthe Kurdish Peoples Protection Units, anattack force known for being one of the fewthat encourage women to fight. rosenberg,31, is believed to be one of a few westernfemales to have joined the fight.Several people commenting on

rosenbergs facebook page Sunday nightsaid she is safe, including someone calledKader Kadandir, who is affiliated with thePeoples Protection Units and who said newsof rosenbergs capture is a huge lie. She isin rojava and safe.Kadandir posted photos of a woman

resembling gill rosenberg, but there was noindication when the photos were taken.on Saturday, a pro-Islamic-State

contributor posted to an online forum thatfighters in Kobani had captured a femaleZionist soldier, according to the SITeIntelligence group, and Jihadi sympathizers

suggested the captive might be rosenberg.by Sunday, posters on other Islamist

forums were reporting her capture as fact.Several Israeli media picked up on the

account, but so far no confirmation hasbeen provided.The Department of foreign affairs said

it was following up on the reports aboutrosenberg. a spokesperson said that Canadais pursuing all appropriate channels to seekfurther information and officials are in closecontact with local authorities.a childhood friend of rosenbergs says

she was a funny kid with a serious side,declaring at the age of 12 that she wanted tofight for Israel. Israeli media say she movedthere in 2006 and joined the Israeli military.alex Konyves said he grew up with

rosenberg inWhite rock and attendedHebrew school with her beginning at agefive. He was alarmed to hear that she mayhave been captured in Syria.I have trouble wrapping my head around

that.We live in beautiful british Columbia,where everything is safe and lovely. I praythat shes oK and that these rumours arecompletely false, and that shell be back in asafe place as soon as possible, he said.We hung out every Sunday, Konyves

said. Its always nice to have someone tocrack jokes with in that setting, and she wasdefinitely one of those people.

DELTAADelta police officer sayshe was spit on and had garbage tossedon him by protesters while standingon a police line on BurnabyMountain enforcing aSupreme Court injunction.The 2,500-word

blog entitledMy 4 daysas a jackbooted nazistormtrooping corporatethug, was posted Nov. 26on the Delta Police websiteby Const. Jim Ingram. In ithe describes the four dayshe spent keeping protestersfrom interfering with a Kinder Morgansurvey drilling team in preparation fora controversial bitumen pipeline.Ingram is a member of the Lower

Mainland District Integrated TacticalTroop, which is responsible for disasterresponse assistance, scene security andsearch, counter terrorism and, in thisinstance, public order or also known ascrowd control and management.In one paragraph, he describes being

spit on by a protester, adding it wasnot the highlight of my week.If it was any other person,

technically its considered an assault,said Ingram in a telephone interview.So its something were definitely

careful of but we have tobalance going out andtrying to arrest somebodyfor something like thatversus holding a line andthe bigger picture there.The bigger picture

included upholdinga Supreme Courtruling allowing KinderMorgan to take part inwork defined by GPS

coordinates. No members of the publicare allowed to interfere directly withtheir work.Ingram said he can understand

the motivations of the protesters, butpushing and spitting is going too far.The reality is were human too

and its a frustration that we have tocontrol, he said. I dont like havinggarbage thrown over me, I dont likesomebody spitting at me. To some

degree I have to protect myself.In his blog post, Ingram also

criticizes the media for publicizing anincident where an 11-year-old crosseda police line (who was not arrested)but not the aggressive actions towardthe police by some of the protesters.Ingram said he doesnt expect there

to be a pro-police take on things, butfelt that by posting his side of the storyon the Delta Police website it wouldgive some balance to the story.I posted my side, a lot of protesters

have written their sides of things.Id just like to see the whole thingcovered.Aside from the negative experiences,

Ingram said it was great to workwith police officers from differentjurisdictions and specialty sectionsfrom the integrated police unit.Its great to get a perspective and

its great to network with people fromall different sections around the LowerMainland, he said.Ingram posts regularly on his 24x7

blog at deltapolice.ca. Hes also activeon Twitter at @cst_jingram.

METROVANCOUVER FraserHealth could face $2.5 million in finesover a backlog of surgical wait timesin hospitals across the province, withSurrey Memorial topping that list.According to documents obtained

by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation(CTF), Fraser Health had 649 cases inwhich the wait time for surgery hadexceeded one year. And as of Oct. 9,Surrey Memorial made up 226 of thosecases, well above the second most waittimes of 143 at Burnaby General.In a Nov. 4 memo to surgeons

across the Fraser Health region, FraserHealths medical director of surgeryDr. Peter Blair notes the Ministry ofHealth has a funding structure knownas Pay for Performance which penalizeshospitals for surgical bookings thatremain on a wait list for more than 52weeks.Although Blair wrote Fraser Health

has shown improvement in loweringthe number of patients on the collectivewait list beyond 52 weeks in the pastyear 4.5 per cent from 10 per cent the backlog needs to be cleared out.There still remains a volume of

patients whose bookings are causingpenalty, he said. It is imperativefor the interest of all, including ourpatients, that we use every availablestrategy to avoid penalties.Blair added that the

regional department headsof the surgical divisionswithin Fraser Health willnow review bookings thatexceed 40 weeks and bereturned to surgeon officesfor reassessment.But the CTF has accused

the health authority ofusing the reassessmentto get around the fineregardless of the medical need.Its bad enough these people are

being forced to wait a year for surgery,but now Fraser Health wants to playgames with their wait times, said CTFB.C. director Jordan Bateman in arelease. Dragging these people aroundand around the system as a loophole toavoid financial discipline is ludicrous.There is no medical need for thesereassessment visits.Bateman said while the CTF

applauds the province for trying to getwaitlists reduced through penalties,he urges the government to also lookto alternative surgical market deliveryoptions to further reduce wait times.The Fraser Health letter included a

spreadsheet showing the breakdownof surgeries in each hospital in theregion and the theoretical amount the

province could withhold after Dec. 31,2014 for keeping patients waiting.According to those documents,

Surrey Memorial had 3,415 surgeriesbooked that are below 26 weeks in wait

time, 1,044 that are between26 and 52 weeks, and 226that exceed 52 weeks,creating a potential fundingshortfall of $781,200.Fraser Health has based

on the financial estimates onthe assumption of a cost of$1,400 per case.The same document

indicates that between theperiod of Sept. 12 to Oct. 9

the hospital performed 635 surgeriesfrom a previous wait list wherepatients were below 26 weeks, 190surgeries between 26 and 52 weeks,and 34 surgeries for patients who hadwaited more than 52 weeks.A press release issued by the regional

health authority on Thursday said theCanadian Taxpayers Federation wasspreading misinformation and saidthe priority of the surgical program istimely access to treatment for patients.The reassessment allows the

surgeon to confirm the patientshealth status, their availability, andrequirement and if they still want theirsurgery, stated the release.Fraser Health also stressed the new

process does not impact patient waittime on the list or reset the clock.

LANGLEYAfter finishing second toKelowna Secondary in their pool, the EarlMarriott boys volleyball team defeated theOwls in the provincial final in four sets (25-23, 20-25, 25-16, 26-24) on Saturday (Nov.29) at Langley Events Centre.Entering the B.C. High School

Boys Triple A Volleyball ProvincialChampionships, Kelowna was ranked as theprovinces top team, despite the Marinersserving as defending and Fraser Valleychampions.Bob Smith and Richard Thain, the

coaches of the Earl Marriott team, wereextremely proud of the poise the boysshowed after a nervous start to thetournament.I think the boys were putting a lot of

pressure on themselves to get back to thefinal, Smith said. Once they realized theywere there, they didnt have anything toprove.Thain added: A different group stepped

up to the plate this year.Were hoping thatthe kids who are in Grade 11 this year canstep up and do the same thing next year.Despite a tough start to the season, Smith

said the team finished the season strong,adding two more banners to the schoolscollection.November is just our month.We find

a way to peak at the right time and figurethings out, he said.Team captain Justin Faester was named

the tournaments Most Outstanding Player,while Eric Lee received first-team all-starrecognition.Faester tallied 15 kills and six digs,

serving two aces in the final againstKelowna, while Lee tallied five kills andthree blocks.Both coaches added that Kelowna was a

class act following the Mariners win, notingthey entered the tournament as the team tobeat.They threw everything they could at us.

They changed their lineup. They did a lot

of good things, but ultimately, our boys justplayed loose and were really able to performwhen it counted, said Smith.Fraser Heights finished the tournament

in fifth place. The Firehawks lost in thequarter-finals to Mt. Boucherie 3-1 (25-19,25-23, 21-25, 25-16), but rebounded with

wins over Delta and G.P. Vanier.When they look back at the experience,

knowing they played well, played hard, itwill be important, Fraser Heights headcoach James Ahn said in a release. And younever want to end the season on a loss. Thiswas a character win more than anythingelse.Johnston Heights, Fraser Heights

neighbour and one of the surprises of thetournament, finished in 10th.Despite finishing at the bottom of their

pool, the Eagles beat Dover Bay, Mt. Bakerand Van Tech in the knockout/seedinground.

North Deltas Seaquam finished thetournament in 15th place.In the quad A girls tournament, Earl

Marriott, Lord Tweedsmuir and Elgin Parklost in the quarter-finals the Marinersto Fraser Valley champions Riverside, thePanthers to bronze-medalists Kelowna andthe Orcas to eventual champions Argyle.Earl Marriott finished the tournament in

fifth place, with Cara Keturakis receivingfirst team all-star honours.Elgin Park beat Lord Tweedsmuir in the

seventh-place match, and North Surreyfinished the tournament in 14th place.
