BOAZ JOSEPH
July 17, 2014 was a bad day for Andre Usach. Th e 33-year-old soldier was hit by a shell
while in a bunker at the airport in the east-ern Ukrainian city of Luhansk.Badly wounded and knocked out, he could
not be safely evacuated and had to remain
there for two weeks, unconscious, without any medical treatment more complex than tourniquets provided by his comrades.Dr. Oleh Antonyshyn, who would meet
the soldier months later, fi lls in the details:“When they did fi nally get him to a
medical facility, his wounds were infected, resulting in the amputation of his leg. He (had) a very signifi cant injury to his arm –
he (couldn’t) use his arm – and in addition to that, he had a multi-fragment fracture of his jaw, with an open wound to his jaw, and all of that was infected as well.“When the primary physicians got a hold
of him, they completed the amputation and treated his wounds, but he was still battered, with a major defect of the jaw – it was split in two, from left to right. He
was unable to eat and was unable to speak normally.”Th e wounds, and their long-lasting eff ects,
were the results of the unrest that began in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev in the late fall of 2013.

Th e nine people killed in Edmonton in late December were shot with a gun stolen from Surrey in 2006, police in Alberta say.
On Monday (Dec. 29) at 6:52 p.m., Edmonton police responded to a weapons com-plaint at a residence. When they arrived, they found a woman dead.
A few hours later, they received a call about a suicidal man and responded to an address – only to fi nd seven people who had been shot. Th ey included three women, two men and two children (a boy and a girl).
In total, six adults between the ages of 25 and 55, and two children under 10 years old, were found in two separate residences that evening.
Edmonton Police Chief Rod Knecht called the scene horrifi c.
“In my 39 years of policing, I’ve never seen anything like it,” he said.
Th e suspected gunman has been identifi ed as Phu Lam, 53.
A man of the same name appeared on unpublished charges in Surrey and Squa-mish in 1999.
On Dec. 29, homicide detec-tives later located Lam dead at a restaurant in Fort Saskatch-ewan, located 40 kilometres northeast of Edmonton.
“Th is male suspect is well-known to the Edmonton Po-lice Service and has a criminal record dating back to 1987,” Knecht said.
Th e suspect in the shootings was the subject of previous complaints at the second home in 2012, when he was charged with off ences related to domestic violence, sexual assault and uttering threats, Knecht said.
Th e coroner’s service de-termined all victims died of gunshot wounds.
Th e victims were Th uy Tien Truong, 35, Elvis Lam, 8, Th an Ha Th i Truong, 33, Valentina Nguyen, 3, Th i Dau Le, 55, Van Dang Truong, 55, Viet Nguyen, 41, and Cyndi Duong, 37.
Lam died of self-infl icted gunshot wounds.
Knecht characterized the incident an extreme case of domestic violence.
Th e 9-mm handgun used in the killings, he said, was registered in B.C. in 1997 and reported stolen from Surrey in 2006.

A man is dead after being shot in the driveway of a North Delta home last week.
On Friday (Jan. 2) at 8:20 p.m., Surrey’s Arundeep Cheema, 24, was fatally shot while sitting in the driveway of a home in the 11800-block of 75A Avenue.
Police say Cheema is known to them.As of Th e Leader’s press deadline Monday, details were limited,
however police say the shooting appears to be targeted, and as such, members of the public need not fear for their safety.
Anyone who believes they may have information, or was in the area at the time of the shooting, is asked to call the Delta Police Department at 604 -946-4411.

Th e anti-government protests would lead to the ousting of President Viktor Yanukovych on Feb. 14, 2014, but not before heavy fi ghting in Maidan Ne-zalezhnosti – the city’s central square – that left more than 100 killed and many more wounded, to be followed by many thousands more dead and in-jured in the eastern part of the country as Russia became more involved in the confl ict throughout the year.Th e plight of the wounded would at-
tract the attention of Canadian medical professionals, some of whom volun-teered to bring their reconstructive surgery skills to Ukrainians.Th e fi rst-ever Canada Ukraine
Foundation and Operation Rainbow Medical Mission arrived on Nov. 6, 2014: One neurosurgeon, four plastic surgeons (one a hand specialist, the others face and general), two plastic surgery residents, one general surgeon, three anesthesiologists, 10 nurses, and a support team of six.While the majority were from Ontario
(and one nurse from Edmonton), six of the volunteers were from B.C., including team leader Dr. Kimit Rai and Surrey videographer Gary Hanney, a retired Global TV cameraman who documented 37 surgeries performed over nearly 10 days.Billeted at the Kiev Hilton, the team
– which came with its own medical equipment – performed surgeries in the Main Clinic Military Hospital, built in 1775 (which locals like to say is older than the United States).Rai said that most of the bullet
wounds and explosives injuries were a few months old, and included bro-ken jaws, noses and cheekbones, and scarred and distorted upper extremi-ties.In Andre Usach’s case, Antonyshyn
used a titanium mesh and a bone graft from the patient’s thigh to put his jaw back together.Usach wouldn’t be the fi rst to thank a
visiting doctor.Ontario surgeon Dr. Tara Stewart
would get a big hug the day after surgery on 35-year-old patient Roman Bertash. Via email, Stewart explains how
Bertash witnessed his friend being shot by a sniper during battle, only to be shot by the same sniper while he was attempting to get his friend to safety. Th e bullet ripped through the left side
of Bertash’s face, destroying his orbital bone and blowing his left eye out of his socket. His friend did not
survive. “One time he looked
me in the eyes he said – and this left me humbled by his strength – ‘Don’t worry though, I got the sniper!’ After being shot, he circled around and with only one eye, and eliminated the sniper.”Th ere would be 35 other surgeries
during this medical mission, all with unique stories.One young man lost an eye after
opening up an explosives-laden package inside a medical station in the Maidan (“Square”) during the protests. One had such bad scar tissue under
his arm that he couldn’t raise it.Another, after having had a bullet
removed from his brain by the Canadi-an team, wore the bullet as an amulet around his neck the next day.
Antonyshyn said that while Ukrainian doctors are perfectly capable of per-forming reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, the surgical tools and ma-terials are expensive and diffi cult to obtain.Th e idea of a mission by the vol-
unteers with the Canada Ukraine Foundation seemed daunting at fi rst, so Antonyshyn sought the advice of someone more experienced.“I didn’t know how to go about (orga-
nizing) that,” he admits.Operation Rainbow
Canada did – it has provided reconstruc-tive/cosmetic surgery to more than 2,000 children in 20 years during missions to India, China, Mexico, Lebanon, Cambodia and other countries. Antonyshyn says he
knew of Rai’s reputation – his experience, infrastructure and knowledge in taking teams to other countries in often harsh conditions.Th is time, their patients had battle
wounds, scars and burns, rather than cleft plates like the children they usu-ally treat during Operation Rainbow missions.Despite the complexities, and “a lot
of bone grafts,” Rai says the outcomes were all good, with no complications or infections.Hanney witnessed and recorded much
of the activity, and spent his after-noons in the hospital (each surgery was usually four to fi ve hours long), and the following mornings, he edited the videos to send to CBC TV stations in Toronto and B.C., as well as Global BC.Hanney said he was too busy working
to be truly aff ected by what he saw in the hospital – including the interaction between Dr. Stewart and Roman Ber-tash, and the big smile on the patient’s face.“It didn’t hit me until I saw the CBC
footage.”It was Hanney’s fourth mission with
Operation Rainbow as a videographer.“Th e patients are very grateful,”
says Rai. “It’s been very emotional-ly charged and it feels good to help them.”All-volunteer and non-profi t, Opera-
tion Rainbow relies on donations. Visit http://www.operationrainbowcanada.com. For more information about the Canada Ukraine Foundation, visit http://www.cufoundation.ca/

Judge Melissa Gillespie faces a tough decision in the case of Janet Olson, of A Better Life Dog Rescue, who has admitted to stealing two dogs and attempting to steal a third in what she claims were acts of compassion toward mistreated animals.
In a sentencing hearing Friday at Surrey Provincial Court, Gillespie heard submissions from Crown Counsel Michelle Wray and both Olson’s lawyer, Craig Sicotte, and Olson herself.
Wray, arguing that principles of “denunciation and deterrence” must be paramount for admit-ted criminal acts to discourage vigilantism, is asking the court for a conditional sentence of between a year and 18 months to be served
in the community.In an agreed statement of facts,
Olson admitted she took two dogs from residences in Chillwack and Richmond in 2009 and 2010 and was in the act of stealing a bulldog in Coquitlam when she was arrested in Novem-ber 2011.
In an emotional and sometimes tearful statement, Olson said she had been driven to taking the law into her own hands by seeing an-imals perish, and by the apparent inability of the BCSPCA to intervene or investigate complaints by neighbours.
She said that she believed that rather than breaking the law, she was acting to enforce existing animal protection laws.
Olson and Sicotte also cited emotional distress, physical harm and fi nancial hardship and the week Olson has already spent in jail awaiting a bail hearing.
Th e court also heard she had been subject to harassment and death threats following an RCMP press release which described her organization’s ac-tions as stealing dogs which were
later sold for profi t – an assertion Olson dismissed as “a lie.”
Wray, who indicated that the Crown has no problem with Olson continuing her work with legal dog rehabilitation and adop-tion activities, said it was accepted that Olson “gen-uinely believed that what she was doing was for the benefi t of the animals.”
But, Wray said, “despite the nobility of her beliefs, these are not matters that can be con-doned by the court.”
Olson is expected to be sen-tenced in six weeks.
Wray said some 38 other charges against Olson will be stayed at conclusion of sentenc-ing.

On Sunday, Dec. 28, members of the South Coast B.C. Transit Authority were called to Surrey Central SkyTrain Station where a man was reportedly banging his head against a wall and screaming.
Th ey followed the man to a nearby Safeway at 104 Avenue and King George Boulevard, where the man had gone behind a counter and demanded a knife.
When transit police arrived the man was stabbing himself in the chest with the knife.
At one point, the man advanced on offi cers and shots were fi red.
Woods was rushed to hospital where he died of his injuries.

Most restaurants are unlikely to initial-ly obey new Metro Vancouver rules that require them and other businesses to separate food waste for recy-cling as of Jan. 1, ac-cording to an industry spokesman.
B.C. Restaurant and Foodservice Associ-ation President Ian Tostenson said most restaurant operators have not yet had enough time to prepare for the major change in waste handling, but added he expects majority compliance before Metro’s six-month grace period expires and actual penalties begin.
“As generators of organic waste we know this is the right thing to do to get it out of landfi lls,” he said. “But you can’t just impose these costs on 6,000 restaurants without having a really sen-sitive perspective on their economics.”
Many B.C. restau-rants continue to “hang by a thread” since the 2008 reces-sion, Tostenson said, adding he expects most will wait for the January slowdown to fi gure out how to add organic waste bins to their operations.
Starting next July, Metro inspectors will slap a 50-per-cent tip-ping fee surcharge on loads of garbage they spot that contain 25 per cent or more food scraps.
Up until then, they’ll just issue warnings.
As with other Metro disposal bans, the fi nes are paid by haulers, who would then pressure their business customers to comply.
Single-family homes in most of Metro Vancouver are already expected to separate organics for curbside pick-up.
Th e allowable level of organic food in garbage would be reduced in subsequent years, likely to 10 per cent in 2016.
Th e regional district expects to initially focus its enforcement
on large generators of food waste, such as supermarkets, major restaurants and hotels.
But the new ban is also supposed to apply to hospitals, schools and multi-fam-ily residen-tial build-ings, many of which also face challenges complying due to lack of space for green bins and con-cerns about attracting vermin.
“We encourage resi-dents of multi-family complexes and busi-nesses to talk to their landlords, property managers, and waste haulers about imple-menting food waste recycling plans now,” Metro zero waste com-mittee chair Malcolm Brodie said.
Th e region is count-ing on greatly in-creased diversion of organics to reduce the amount of garbage
going to landfi lls and increase its current 60-per-cent recycling rate to 70 per cent in 2015 and 80 per cent by 2020.
Food rotting in landfi lls is a major avoidable source of greenhouse gas emis-sions.
Tos-tenson said one challenge is that many restaurants are in malls
or other buildings with other businesses and as tenants often don’t have full control over garbage handling.
He’s aware of one large Vancouver restau-rant in a shared com-mercial building whose owners have made no accommodation for the rule change.
Mall food courts are another trouble spot, he said, adding mall operators will need to educate shoppers on separating food to go
into organics bins from other recyclables.
Tostenson applaud-ed Metro’s release of information videos on the change in multiple languages, noting the region’s diverse restau-rant scene includes many operators who don’t speak English.
Collected organics may go to compost-ing facilities or other purposes, depending on the hauler.
Th e City of Surrey is building a biofuels processing plant that will take 115,000 tonnes per year of organic waste and convert it into natural gas to power the city’s garbage trucks as well as compost.
Surrey is in talks with preferred partner Iris Solutions, which would design, build, partly fi nance and operate the plant, which is to open in 2016.
Banned from trash
Metro’s disposal ban applies to food scraps, including raw food,
plate scrapings, left-overs and meat. Some food soiled paper, such as pizza boxes or used table napkins, can also be separated.

Many Surrey homeowners have experienced the hassle and expense of trying to convince the city to allow them to get rid of a problem tree on their property.
Ironically, developers in this city customarily create so many new lots on the properties they’re subdividing that there’s often no room for existing trees, which are then chainsawed into fi rewood after paying the city a modest $300 fee for every tree that isn’t replaced with one or more saplings.
Keep in mind that 20 per cent of Surrey’s mature canopy trees have disappeared since 2001 and many if not most of the saplings planted to replace them in urban neighbourhoods won’t survive the decades it takes to reach maturity.
Metro Toronto claims it costs at least $583 to replant and maintain a new tree for two years, which is what they charge developers. Surrey should at the very least double their current fees to encourage developers to
follow sustainable development practices by leaving room for more mature trees in their sub-divisions instead of clear-cut-ting them.
Gary Cameron
The U.S. has Canada over a barrel on water as well as oil these days, but the tide is turning.
Last week I mentioned a new book called The Columbia River Treaty – A Primer by members of Simon Fraser University’s climate adaptation team. This slim volume makes the case that B.C. has ended up with a shockingly bad deal from this 1964 treaty, which concerned itself entire-ly with flood control and hydroelec-tric power.
In those days there was little or no environmental assessment. Agri-culture, fish habitat and aboriginal impacts were ignored. More than a decade after the disastrous flood year of 1948, once Ottawa stopped its bureaucratic delays, U.S. public and private power utilities paid B.C. $254 million to build three dams on the Columbia system.
Those dams (and one at Libby, Montana that mostly floods B.C. land) hold back the huge spring run-off from the Rockies and then dole out water for power production in
B.C. and for the 15 hydro dams pre-viously built downstream in the U.S.
The U.S. payment was for half the power over 30 years, which B.C. didn’t need at the time. Then our American cousins cut us another cheque for $64 million, an estimate of the value of flood protection from 1968 all the way to 2024.
Boy, did we get taken. The SFU team calculates the value of that flood control to the U.S. at more like $32 billion.
That’s not even the worst of it. The Kootenays were once the leading fruit and vegetable growing area in B.C., bigger than the Okanagan. Now in the Arrow Lakes and other reservoirs, levels rise and fall dra-matically to steady the flow south. In addition to the large areas perma-nently flooded by the Mica, Duncan and Hugh Keenleyside dams, this renders more of B.C.’s prime bottom land impassable.
B.C. is paid precisely zero for this sacrifice, while Washington state has developed a $5 billion-a-year farm
economy using our stable irrigation source. That has helped their tree fruit growers push some Okanagan orchardists out of business.
As U.S. billionaires continue to bankroll environmental attacks on B.C. and Alberta energy projects, it’s worth noting that long before the treaty, the U.S. military-industrial complex had wiped out the Columbia River salmon runs. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and its private power partners dammed everything they could find, exterminating a fishery bigger than the Fraser that had sustained aboriginal people on both sides of today’s border for thousands of years.
B.C. Energy Minister Bill Bennett and SFU’s Jon O’Riordan both de-scribed to me their experience at the Columbia River Basin conference, held last October in Spokane.
Their main impression was that Americans, including traditional tribes, want those salmon runs
restored. Vast amounts have been spent on hatcheries and habitat to speed recovery below the Grand Coulee dam, which stands like a giant tombstone for migratory fish-eries above it.
Should the Americans ever manage to get salmon above their biggest dam, it will largely be up to B.C. to provide sufficient cool water to keep them alive. That service has an increasing value to the U.S. as well as an ongoing cost to B.C.
Bennett surprised some in Spo-kane when he said the U.S. needs to pay more for the benefits from the Columbia River Treaty.
The flood control agreement expires in 2024. The treaty requires 10 years’ notice for either country to exit. Climate shifts are expected to make B.C. water more important than ever.
Your move, Uncle Sam.Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and
columnist for Black Press.
Why would any rational, thinking individual vote yes in the upcoming transporta-tion funding referendum?
Is TransLink not the same body that mismanaged the issuing of tickets for fare violators knowing they could not collect them? What about the faregate and Compass card debacles? And what about the exorbitant salaries, bonuses and perks of senior management, rivalling if not surpassing those available in the private sector?
When will we learn the only real source of govern-ment revenue comes from taxation? And that means taxpayers like you and me.
So send yet another mes-sage to governments at all levels that continue to spend the dollars they take away from us as though they were their own. Vote no on the referendum.

INBOX6 The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Tuesday Januar y 6 2015
One has to shake one’s head with the “Metro Vancouver Congestion Tax” referen-dum, as clearly Metro mayors haven’t a clue what they are talking about.
Th e name, Metro Vancouver Congestion Tax, is false advertising, as the only way to reduce road congestion and gridlock is by reducing road space for cars.
Subways don’t reduce congestion and are only built to accommodate high ridership on routes which demand long trains and large stations. Traffi c fl ows along Broadway nowhere near justify a multi-billion-dollar subway and if built, it will drag TransLink into a fi nancial morass.
Th e one mode with a proven record of al-leviating congestion is modern LRT because it uses road space for its route, reducing road space for cars while off ering a convenient transit alternative. It’s why LRT is built around the world and SkyTrain is not.
So instead of the oxymoronic “Metro Vancouver Congestion Tax,” a more accurate name would be; “Let’s do the same thing over again and hope for diff erent results” tax. Oh, excuse me, that’s the defi nition for insanity.

Th e president of the B.C. Chamber of Com-merce insists only a minority of businesses in Metro Vancouver object to a proposed new regional 0.5-per-cent sales tax for tran-sit and transportation.
John Winter says fears of business fl owing out of the region because of the proposed Congestion Improvement Tax have been voiced mainly in Langley, where shop-pers may be tempted to go east to Abbots-ford to avoid the new tax.
“Th ey’re the ones who feel they will bear the brunt,” he said, but insisted there is broad support for the Yes side in the spring referendum among business leaders elsewhere in Metro Vancouver.
“Th e business community is solidly behind this,” Winter said, adding concerns about extra bureau-cracy and costs to separately report a new sales tax are over-stated.
“I don’t think it’s going to be a huge problem,” Winter said.
New car dealers in particular fear lost business, but Winter said 0.5 per cent works out to just $200 on a $40,000 car.
“I’ve never met a car dealer who wasn’t prepared to wheel and deal,” he said, pre-dicting dealerships in places like Langley and Maple Ridge won’t sit back and let customers take their business east to the Fraser Valley over a relatively small amount.
But Blair Qualey, president and CEO of the New Car Dealers Association of B.C. said he wants clarity from the province on whether or not dealers will have to absorb the tax hike before
his organization takes a stand on the plebi-scite.
“Th is tax could be a pretty big chunk per year for these guys if they have to swallow it to stay competitive,” Qualey said.
He said that could force auto dealers to cut costs in areas such as charitable giving within the community.
Even if the prov-ince charges the new 0.5 per cent tax on vehicles bought
outside the region but ultimately registered within Metro Vancou-ver, Qualey said that may still leave ques-tions of how it will be enforced.
If the new tax applies to car dealers, Qualey wants it also added to the sales tax charged on private car transactions.
Richard Truscott, B.C. director for the Canadian Federation of Independent Busi-ness (CFIB), predicts a signifi cant degree of opposition from his small business members.
“I would expect there
to be a fair amount to cynicism and doubt as to whether an extra half point on the PST (Provincial Sales Tax) is the right way to fund transportation improvements,” he said.
Truscott said the CFIB wants greater accountability for the billions of dollars already being spent on transit and infrastruc-ture in the region.
“To turn around and ask taxpayers to fork over even more dough leaves a lot of business owners scratching their heads.”
He said the CFIB is
surveying its mem-bers on the new tax and expects to take a position in Janu-ary, provided there’s enough of a majority for or against.
Greg Wilson, govern-ment aff airs director for B.C. for the Retail Council of Canada, said there is concern among retailers about the extra costs and re-porting requirements that will come with a new separate tax.
Th at means yet more reprogramming of point-of-sale terminals

For the second straight year, and the fourth time in fi ve years, Olivia was the top name for girls born in B.C. in 2013, accord-ing to the province’s Vital Statistics Agency.
Liam reclaimed the number one spot for baby boys replacing Ethan, which was tops in 2012, after edging out Liam the previous year.
Th e top fi ve names for girls born in British Columbia in 2013 were Olivia, Emma, Sophia, Emily and Ava.
For baby boys born in 2013 in B.C., the top fi ve names were Liam, Mason, Ethan, Lucas and Benjamin.
Th ere were 43,925 babies born in B.C. in 2013, which includes 22,491 boys and 21,434 girls.
▶ B.C. STATS SHOW POPULAR REPEATS

and computer systems after the creation and then repeal of the Har-monized Sales Tax.
“It also tends, along with everything else, to drive more traffi c to
the U.S.,” Wilson said. “Our members along the border are acutely aware of that.”
But Wilson said he is also hearing strong support for the new tax from many re-tailers because of the transit and transpor-
tation improvements it would bring.
“I hear as many positives as negatives,” he said. “I have a lot of members who tell me how good it will be, how it will help customers get to their stores, bring goods to
their stores and bring employees to work-places.”
Th e Retail Council of Canada is unlikely to take a position for or against, Wilson said.
Yes campaign unites ‘strange bedfellows’
John Winter is a key member of the Yes campaign and it’s not his fi rst time promot-ing a contentious tax.
Th e president of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce fought to keep the harmonized sales tax but saw it go down to referendum defeat in 2011 with 55 per cent of voters opposed, forcing the province to reinstate the provincial sales tax.
Th is time both Winter and anti-HST strategist Bill Tiele-man are on the Yes side urging Metro residents to agree to the new tax for transit road and bridge up-grades.
“It does create strange bedfellows,” Winter acknowl-edged, but added it underscores the broad
coalition of business, labour, environmen-tal and other groups backing the cause.
He calls it a “non-partisan” com-mon-sense issue and said he’s “very opti-mistic” the plebiscite will pass.
Ballots go out March 16 and must be mailed back to Elections BC by May 29.
Th e 0.5 per cent sales tax charged only in Metro Van-couver is to generate an extra $250 million a year, which combined with fed-eral and provincial government contributions would fund $7.5 billion in transit, road and bridge upgrades.
“Th ere’s no purpose in voting No,” he said. “If people do, we’re going to be stuck with the gridlock we have, only worse.”
Heading the No campaign so far is Jor-dan Bateman of the
Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
Bateman is seeking to tie the new tax to the unpopularity of TransLink, which is not mentioned on the mail-in ballot going to referendum.
Winter insists the vote should not be a referendum on
TransLink and says Bateman is circulating “unfor-tunate misinfor-mation” by focus-ing on TransLink waste.
“From a voter’s perspec-tive, this is a non-is-sue, a
smokescreen,” Winter said, arguing money from the new tax will be restricted to fund-ing the new projects in the mayors’ vision, with independent audits to ensure that happens.
“Th ey’re going to spend this money with handcuff s on them.”
Bateman calls that “malarky” and says
Winter, the mayors and other Yes cam-paigners are deluding themselves and voters by avoiding mention of TransLink.
“Th e other side knows TransLink is a completely failed brand, “ he said, adding audits are no insurance.
“Th e audits will hap-pen after the money is spent. So congrat-ulations, TransLink wasted more of your money and you found out after an audit.”
Bateman said there are plenty of ques-tions hanging over the referendum and whether the promised transit upgrades can actually be delivered.
He promises to release an alternative plan this month to ex-pand transit without adding the new sales tax by fi nding savings within TransLink and municipal government spending.

Do not call 911 be-cause your slice of pizza is stale.
Nor is it an emergen-cy if Wi-Fi at the coff ee shop isn’t working or you’ve lost your glasses.
Th ose are some of the most bizarrely inappro-priate 911 calls made by Lower Mainland residents in 2014, ac-cording to a top 10 list released by E-Comm, southwest B.C.’s emer-gency communications centre.
Besides complaining about the quality of take-out food, many bozo 911 callers appear to think emergency dis-patchers can double as an information service, wanting to know ev-erything from whether it’s a stat holiday to the phone numbers for taxis or travel agents.
E-Comm spokesper-son Jody Robertson said people who make “nuisance calls” to 911 tie up valuable resourc-es for people with real life-and-death emergen-cies, potentially putting lives at risk.
“Th ese kinds of calls come in every day pret-ty much all day long,” she said.
Th ere isn’t an accurate count of how many there are, but Robert-son said it’s “way too many.”
Nor can E-Comm staff instantly discon-nect those calls – they have to be alert to the possibility that a caller feels threatened by someone nearby and is concocting a cover story so it doesn’t seem like they’ve dialed 911.
“We have to make sure the caller can speak freely and there’s not something else going on,” Robertson said.
Th e same sorts of scenarios – is the caller silent because of a near-by assailant or because they’ve had a heart at-tack – are on the minds of E-Comm staff when they get a pocket-dialed call or an accidental call where the caller hangs up.
Call-takers must phone back to make sure the person is okay, and if the call came
from a landline and they can’t be reached, police are dispatched.
“Th ose kinds of calls can chew up a lot of re-sources unnecessarily.”
Th e number of pocket-dialed 911 calls is running at about 70,000 a year, while another 30,000 are ac-cidental calls where the caller hangs up without explaining to staff .
Th ose numbers have improved slightly, Robertson said, but still amount to more than 10 per cent of the 860,000 calls to 911 each year in the Lower Mainland.
She said the most fre-quent “head-scratcher” calls are ones seeking basic information, adding calls to report or seek information about power outages are a major recurring problem.
True emergencies are police, fi re or medical situations that require immediate action be-cause someone’s health, safety or property is in jeopardy or a crime is in progress.
Discovering your car broken into or vandal-ized should be a call to your local police non-emergency num-ber, not 911.
“We’re here to help people with real emer-gencies,” added 911 call taker Warner Yang, who fi elded the year’s most unworthy 911 call – that Wi-Fi at the local coff ee shop wasn’t working. “If someone calls 911 about internet problems that means I’m not available to help someone who really needs it.”
Classic idiot calls from past years include call-ers who reported a large spider in their living room, that their TV was broken or that their son wouldn’t hand over the remote control.
Other requests have
included callers seeking permission to drive in the HOV lanes because of congestion or want-ing to rent a fi re truck to block off a street for a party.
Top ten bad reasons to call 911:
1. Wi-Fi at a local cof-fee shop isn’t working
2. “What’s the fi ne for jaywalking?”
3. Pizza not fresh; wants a replacement
slice4. “What’s the
number for my travel agency?”
5.Caller phoned 9-1-1 to ask for a taxi referral
6.“Is today a stat holiday?”
7. Food they ordered is cold
8. Wants help fi nding lost glasses
9. Home Internet is not working
10. “What’s the date today?”

Throughout the year Surrey plays host to many events which are organized by a variety of community groups and cultural organizations. City Council and the City’s Festival & Events Support Team (FEST) make every attempt to accommodate these events while recognizing that some impact the community more than others.
Surrey’s diversity offers us the opportunity to experience the traditions and customs of other cultures. City Council works to promote respect and understanding for each cultural group within our city. This support manifests itself in recognizing and supporting important occasions and traditions.
Measures, such as printed event notices in local newspapers and the advanced posting of traffic disruption notices, are taken to minimize the impact as much as possible. RCMP, Surrey Fire Service, and BC Ambulance Service are present at such events to aid the community and ensure the event is as safe and controlled as possible.
The Gurdwara Amrit Parkash will be hosting Shaheedy Saka Parade on January 10th, 2015. Part of the event involves a procession in the vicinity of the temple. The procession will begin and end at the Gurdwara Amrit Parkash Temple, located at 7990 - 123A Street (corner of 80 Ave and 123A St). The parade will begin at 10:00 AM and will conclude at approximately 12:00 PM. To facilitate parade activities, area residents and businesses should be advised there will be:
Road ClosuresTraffic DisruptionsRestrictions to AccessTemporary “No Parking” Restrictions Along Route
Traffic control will be in place beginning at 9:00 AM until approximately 1:00 PM. Please note that access through the route area during that time will be limited. The RCMP will be making every effort possible to allow residents to travel to and from their homes during the procession. Please plan your routes accordingly. Refer to the attached map for procession routing.

It was Christmas Eve and Jordan Risi and his fi ancée Sasha were doing some last-minute running around.
Risi remembered the Dec. 24 Lotto 6/49 draw included an extra draw of fi ve $1 million guaranteed prizes, so he added a trip to his local gas station to his list of errands so he could buy a ticket.
With the bustle of the season,
he hadn’t given the ticket much thought until a couple of days later. Th at’s when the Surrey couple made a stop to check the ticket. Risi’s heart rate rose a little, but he remained calm, and he and Sasha proceeded to a second gas station to re-check the ticket and confi rm they’d won $1 million.
“We had one day this weekend to ourselves, so we could let the win sink in,” said Risi. “It was a good time to contemplate what the mon-ey will go towards.”
Th ey plan to use some of the mon-ey for their Hawaii wedding this year and pay off their mortgage.

Hannah Premia and her mother Helen started the program as a way to help special needs children become more active and give the kids and their fam-ilies a place to socialize and build self-confi -dence.
On Dec. 13, the seven students performed in three groups based on their abilities, with all the students getting together with their family and siblings for the fi nal performance of Santa Claus is Com-ing to Town.
“Stephanie real-ly looks forward to coming to class every week,” said Shan-non Davison, whose 12-year-old daughter attends the class. “It’s a great place for her to meet friends who have similarities.”
While some students performed choreo-graphed movements, others worked on motor skills with pom-poms and shakers.
“Th ey all did a fantas-tic job,” said program organizer Hannah Premia.

Much has been written about why we feel compelled to share our thoughts on social media for the world to see. “Friends”, “Likes”, “Favourites” and “Retweets” provide instant affi rmation that we are popular, and more importantly I think, correct in our views and opinions. Unfortunately for some, while your friends or followers may approve of what you have said, a Judge may think quite differently about it. Anyone who is involved in family litigation should assume that someone is looking through their social media posts to fi nd evidence to use against them at trial. You should assume this because someone is looking. It might be your former spouse, their friends and family, or their lawyer – someone is doing it. Claiming that you can’t work and pay child support because of an injury? That picture of you competing in the World Strongman competition won’t help your cause. You sacrifi ce everything for your kids? Ok, then why did you drop them off at your parents’ so that you could go drunken house boating for three days and write all about it on Facebook? You have always been supportive of your former spouse? Not according to the 5,000 word profanity laced rant you posted last night. Litigants need to use a common sense approach when using social media (email and texting as well). One simple question does the trick – do you want your post to be read or your picture to be displayed in a courtroom for all to see? If the answer is no, you should defi nitely put your phone back in your pocket.
