Industrial land reserve soughtby Je� Nagel

PORT METRO Vancouver wants an Industrial Land Reserve created to block cities from rezoning more job-supporting land and avoid a scenario where the expanding port must increasingly raid farmland.

O� cials there say the decisive step by the province is needed or else the port will be on a collision course with the region’s other great protected land bank – the 40-year-old Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR).

While agriculture advocates regularly tally how much farmland vanishes each year to development, Port Metro Vancouver frets about eroding industrial land, which is lucra-tive for both developers and cities to convert to residential or commercial use.

“We are extremely concerned about the amount of industrial land that has been lost in the last two generations,” port president and CEO Robin Silvester said.

More than 3,000 hectares of industrial land has been rezoned in the last 30 years in Metro Vancouver in just Surrey, Vancouver, Burnaby and Richmond, he noted.

More than half of it has been lost in Surrey.“You project that out and we have a real problem,” he said.He foresees a future where industry and port-related ventures are increas-

ingly stymied by the shortage and soaring cost of suitable land.E� orts have been made by regional planners and politicians to protect

Metro’s industrial footprint. Metro Vancouver’s new Regional Growth Strat-egy now requires a board vote to approve industrial land rezonings.

DELTA’S FOREMOST wildlife rescue agency for birds says the majestic snowy owls that have captivated the hearts of bird lovers are dying from starvation. And curious onlookers are largely to blame, accord-ing to its founding director.

“We’ve had calls from all over. We’ve had a few shipped in to us that haven’t made it,” said Bev Day, founding director of the Orphaned Wildlife Rehabili-tation Society (OWL).

“� ey’re basically starving.”A large number of snowy owls migrated south to

the Lower Mainland from the high Arctic for the second year in a row, and have been visible for weeks in large numbers in Boundary Bay at the base of 64 and 72 Streets.

But the birds don’t appear to be doing very well. Day says rehabilitating the owls is “touch-and-go” and likened their condition to anorexia. When they come in they have to be fed frequently, but in small portions.

Port Metro Vancouver plans for continued increases in container shipments, such as at Deltaport, are increasingly at odds with the shrinking supply of industrial land needed to organize containers.

Surrey alone has lost more than 1,500 hectares of scarce industry-related space

Aliens and oil tankers: A 2012 quizThe news affecting B.C. last year sometimes seemed too bizarre to be believed. Here’s a

tongue-in-cheek test of the issues for readers compiled by Metro Vancouver reporter Jeff Nagel.

“What happens with a bird of prey is when they’re starting to starve and not get-ting enough food, they actually are (living) o� their own bodies.”

Day believes the birds arrived late in the season because of warm weather condi-tions in the Arctic and it has caused many to go hungry as a result.

Although food is more plentiful in Boundary Bay and surrounding areas, Day says it is human encroachment that is likely the cause of their continued deterio-ration.

“I know photography is a million… billion dollar industry, but you’ve got these people with these huge fricken’ lenses – and I could say something else, but I’ll just say fricken’ – and they try and get down on the foreshore and they’re right in the birds’ faces.”

Day once saw a woman set her dog on an owl so she could get a picture of it in � ight. She says she can’t even go down to the dike anymore because what she sees upsets her.

Not only does disturbing the owls cause them to lose energy and heat, Day said it encroaches on time they should be spending hunting mice.

But Day said many of the birds have likely

moved on from southern B.C. into the northern regions of the U.S., as far south as California.

“Last week at one point there were 30 snowys counted. Two days later there was only � ve on the shore,” Day said.

OWL currently has one snowy owl in captivity that was hit by a car. � ey are treating the injuries and hope to rehabilitate the bird for release into the wild, as they do for hundreds of birds every year.

� e shelter has a record 470 birds in care at present, and the condition of other raptors is markedly similar to the snowy owls, with many su� ering from hunger.

Donations can be made to OWL for the care and rehabilitation of wildlife. For more information, visit owlcanada.ca

Region: Impacts being feltSilvester called it a good step but

one that doesn’t go far enough.“We still are seeing debates

about conversion of industrial land to other uses,” he said.

He’s seen land sellers price an industrial property at $60 million but suggest it may fetch $100 mil-lion if it can be rezoned residential, fuelling more land speculation.

Cities face “overwhelming” financial pressure and can haul in much more property tax revenue after lower-value industrial land is redeveloped.

“I understand the problem from their perspective,” Silvester said. “The problem is it takes away the future of the Lower Mainland.”

Impacts are already being felt.U.S. retailer Target looked at the

Lower Mainland for a 1.3-million-square-foot distribution centre but developed in Calgary instead when suitable land couldn’t be found here.

The port, which accounts for 80,000 direct and indirect high-paying jobs in the Lower Main-land, faces particular challenges in finding industrial land with good road, rail and water access.

Silvester has controversially said the port must eat into some agricultural land but aims to offset those losses by helping farmers improve agriculture productivity.

“It’s an answer that does concern some people, so it’s only part of the solution,” he said.

The port has already bought up some farmland and its federal powers could let it supercede the ALR.

More intensive use of farmland would be only a “last resort” if there’s no other way to meet the needs of the Pacific Gateway and the Lower Mainland economy.

But with another million people moving into the region by 2040, he says, something has to give.

Just as the ALR has succeeded in protecting local farmland, Silvester hopes industrial land can be preserved if regional politicians and the province can agree on an industrial reserve.

Otherwise, he sees Metro Vancouver losing its blue-collar vibrance – becoming a Florida-type lifestyle region as industry wanes in relevance.

“There may be people who are just able to retire to the Lower Mainland and live on their net worth,” Silvester said.

“But if that’s all the Lower Mainland was I suspect it would change the character of the region to the extent it would cease to be attractive.”

Richmond Coun. Harold Steves, who helped found the ALR, said he “absolutely” supports Silvester’s call for an industrial land reserve.

“We don’t want a big battle over farmland in the next few years because all the industrial land has been lost,” he said. “It’s the first time I’ve been on side with the port – at least partly, anyway.”

Steves said he believes the Regional Growth Strategy’s rules protecting industrial land are

too loose, allowing those areas to inappopriately turn into office buildings or big box retail.

But Steves’ backing of an industrial reserve doesn’t mean he subscribes to the vision of Gateway planners for a tremendous increase in local port activity and the worsened traffic congestion and pollution that comes with it.

He argues the port should instead move containers by rail to Kamloops or Ashcroft and turn

those cities into an inland port for con-tainer handling and logistics.

“If they finally agree to share the rest of Canada’s require-ments for container traffic with the Inte-rior, we’ll have a nice west coast lifestyle here – and at Ashcroft and Kamloops, which are basically depressed areas that could use the help.”

Metro Vancouver is also looking for ways to encourage better use of scarce industrial land because the current supply is fore-cast to run out in the 2020s.

Planners at the regional district are studying best practices to intensify or densify industrial uses.

Options include multi-level buildings and more efficient designs.

Industrial rooftops could also be used for parking, agriculture or energy generation, according to a Metro discussion paper.

The completion of the South Fraser Perimeter Road (expected in December, 2013) will bring with it increased trade and fur-ther cement Delta’s growing position as an economic hub in the Lower Mainland.

Port facilities will be easier to access, goods will be cheaper and easier to ship, and fewer dollars will be wasted while stuck idling in tra� c.

Development of the Tilbury and Sunbury industrial areas will not only provide local jobs, but ease the tax burden on residential ratepayers.

� ere is no doubt the new route is badly needed.However, the economic bene� t the road brings comes at a price.� e road travels through some of the most important and sensitive

wetland areas in the Lower Mainland.While no infrastructure project, building, or development can be

built without some negative consequences to the environment, the provincial government has done much to ensure the damage is as little as possible.

Crews are planting native vegetation along the road, installing wildlife habitat, and migration corridors.

� e road itself forms a barrier around Burns Bog, which may help to prevent excessive water drainage.

But it is not enough to merely mitigate the environmental impact of a project.

If we are to be responsible stewards of the environment, we must seek to improve its condition.

� e SFPR fails in this regard.Given construction on the project began prior to the completion

of its environmental assessment, it is clear that protecting the sensi-tive ecology of Burns Bog and the surrounding area is nothing but an a� erthought.

Progress comes at a price.– Black Press

They’re well on the way to stopping the expansion of oil exports to Asia. Now will B.C.’s American branch-plant environmental machine turn

on natural gas?A couple of weeks ago I described the dis-

pute between the Haisla Nation and the rest of the Coastal First Nations group over the pio-neering of lique� ed natural gas development on Haisla territory at Kitimat. Powerful chiefs of the Heiltsuk, Gitga’at, Haida and others in the so-called Great Bear Rainforest oppose the idea of kicking o� a new LNG export industry without extending the hydro grid to support renewable power for the region.

LNG is shaping up as B.C.’s largest-ever industrial project, if it gets built. And there are signs the American-directed environmental attack is swinging to our gas boom.

Some in the Canadian media insist no such U.S. in� uence exists, or that it is trivial and benign. � ey mock federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver’s description of “foreign radicals,” pretending this applies to everyone opposed to oil pipelines.

� ere weren’t many reporters with me when I covered the negotiations for the Great Bear

Rainforest in 2006. To the Vancouver media it was just a big forest deal up in the middle of nowhere. Along with B.C. cabinet minister Pat Bell, Coastal First Nations and forest companies, the Sierra Club, ForestEthics and Greenpeace muscled their way to the table.

How they did so became clear in early 2007. Behind these big three eco-propaganda groups was a $60 million war chest from an obscure out� t called Tides Canada.

Another front group, as it turns out. � e actual source of the money was the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the David and Lucille Packard Foundation, the Wilberforce Foundation, the Gordon and Betty Moore Founda-tion and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

Most made their billions in computers and so� ware in San Francisco or Seattle. � ey’ve funded scienti� cally suspect campaigns such as “Yellowstone to Yukon” and “boreal forest” aimed at turning more than a third of Canada into parks. Increas-ingly, they are partnering with aboriginal

people in B.C. and across Canada.Some in B.C.’s major media have since

grudgingly credited independent B.C. researcher Vivian Krause with � lling in the blanks. She has shown that starting in 2002, these foundations began formally organizing against Canadian fossil fuel production.

When the B.C. and Cana-dian governments matched the $60 million Great Bear Rain-forest fund for “ecosystem-based” forest management, they didn’t realize they were reinforcing a blockade against oil exports. Tides and its back-ers have continued to fund and create new protest groups, which are quoted as they pop up by credulous B.C. media.

� eir argument against oil exports centres on the sexy

but false premise that Alberta’s “tar sands” somehow uniquely threaten the global cli-mate. Lately, as the size of B.C.’s gas develop-ment has become clearer, the protests have started to refocus.

Now we hear dire claims about the

decades-old technique of “fracking” in gas development, and previously obscure groups are springing up to protest gas projects.

Hollywood is about to gas us with an anti-fracking movie starring Matt Damon. Previews suggest that Promised Land works the usual evil-greedy-capitalist themes, in the Avatar tradition.

ForestEthics, Sierra Club and Greenpeace, meanwhile, are campaigning against their original forest preservation deal on B.C.’s Central and North Coast. Sustainable development solutions aren’t good for their business model. If people think a problem is solved, they stop sending money.

Meanwhile, the U.S. is surging ahead with its own shale oil and gas boom. Plans are underway for LNG exports from the U.S. to Asia.

I think 2013 would be a good year for Canada to start making its own decisions on energy development.

Re: Missing women’s report.Was Wally Oppal, a one-time

attorney general in B.C.’s Liberal government, the right man for the job of commissioner for the Pickton inquiry?

The answer was obvious before he spent $10 million of taxpayers’ money. Oppal’s cred-ibility was tainted by his politi-cal baggage right from the start.

Since Oppal released his 63 recommendations, the B.C. Lib-erals have been scurrying about expressing their sudden concern. If they were sincerely concerned about the plight of forsaken women, especially those in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside,

the Liberals would have acted long ago. Wally Oppal didn’t uncover a hidden treasure chest

of secrets; he just regurgitated the obvious.

Furthermore, Oppal could

have submitted a two- or three-page summary months ago, instead of writing 1,448 pages that will go largely unread.

But the timing for the release of his report is good for the B.C. Liberals. They can now make lots of political promises and announce a few substantive changes during the spring elec-tion.

A cynic might think this media manipulating strategy was thought up by one of Premier Clark’s clever high-paid han-dlers.

Lloyd AtkinsVernon

Many of the elements that contributed to the poor communication and cooperation cited in Wally Oppal’s missing women’s report have already been rectified. The attitude toward sex trade workers and drug users is systemic and shared by police, ambulance services and the media. Equally tragic are the attitudes and various addictions that forced those women from their communities and found them on the streets of Vancouver. Once there, they were extremely vulnerable to predators and media condemnation.

It is a shared responsibility. Money can be better spent supporting persons who are struggling to survive rather than on a regional police force, which will only redirect funding to misguided police initiatives and toys.

William Perry

The aRguing of which transit technologies to use for Broadway and Surrey rapid transit has to stop.

The City of Vancouver is right in its touting that the option for Broadway rapid transit extension should be SkyTrain, and that there should be no contest. The City of Surrey should listen to Vancouver.

I find it remarkable how blind some Light

Rapid Transit advocates can be. When it comes to discussing high-cost transit projects, a lot of people seem to be placing emphasis on capital costs exclusively.

What most of these advocates don’t seem to understand is that there are greater economic and productivity benefits from a faster and far more reliable service.

Spending more money on better infra-

structure is usually synonymous with earning more benefits to offset the cost, and going by that metric, building LRT will cost us billions and billions more than building SkyTrain.

i Think it was former premier Mike Harcourt who once said that the NDP are “guests in power” in B.C. This is an accu-rate reflection of the political climate in the province as the right-of-centre parties usually have the media, business, and big money behind them to hold onto power indefinitely.

Below are three wishes for the new year that a future NDP government can legislate to help level the electoral landscape.

Wish number one: Lower the voting age to 15.

If youth are old enough to work and pay taxes, they should be entitled to vote. Youth are also a huge disenfranchised segment of the population that are becoming politically mobile and demanding more rights. It’s time for the elected officials to listen to them. Many youth are front and centre on many social issues whether it relates to arts, culture, sports, the environ-ment, education, and labour and employment policies. I am will-ing to bet that the younger population is more likely to be progressive in their voting intentions in comparison to the older population which tends to tilt a bit conservative.

Wish number two: Make it a civic duty or compulsory to vote in B.C.

Another huge disenfranchised population is the marginal-ized, poor, and homeless. If it was necessary to ensure they

voted, then their voices would more likely be heard in the halls of power. They would essentially become a powerful voting block that is growing in numbers during these reces-sionary times. The well-off and rich have no problem with voter turnout. This compulsory voting policy would essentially level the playing field between the rich and poor on both ends

of the voting demographic.Wish number three: Ensure

gender equality in the B.C. leg-islature by cutting the number of ridings in half and electing one man and one woman from each riding.

The number of total MLAs would stay the same. Not only is this ethically the right thing to do in terms of women’s rights, it would be democratic.

There you go – three simple wishes for the new year. Hope-fully, our public officials will implement these policies based on principle and not worry about populist sentiment or backlash since they all are social justice issues that need to be addressed after a long history of neglect.

Alex Sangha, Delta

Three wishes for the new year

Light rail not right for Surrey or Vancouver

Nothing new in missing women’s report

Support the vulnerable

Road work ahead, but

no planningWho Would have thought in 1964 when I helped build the most expensive piece of highway in Canada at the time – the Port Mann Bridge – that it would be torn down in my lifetime 45 years later, especially considering the fact that it was only in 2006 that the bridge was totally refur-bished and another lane added.

The reality is that this is what this government stands for: ideological dogma, short-term thinking, and quite literally, no planning ahead.

It’s a sad fact that the taxpayers of B.C. will be paying for the old Port Mann Bridge upgrades decades after the old span has been torn down.

Is this financial expertise? Is this good conservative money management? Or is this just another example of reckless short-term incompetence with no planning to speak of at all?

No wonder there is no money for social programs with the multi-millions this government has squandered on pretty much everything they have touched. The Golden Ears Bridge will be lucky if it lasts 30 years as it was coming apart within months of being built. And the new $3.3-billion Port Mann Bridge appears to be doing not much better.

When you consider B.C.’s other bridges, this is inexcusable folly. The Lions Gate Bridge is 76 years old; the Pattullo Bridge is 75; and the Iron Workers’ Memorial Bridge is 52 years old and count-ing.

This government is all about show, flash and propaganda. Pretty well everything this gov-ernment touched will be gone long before it is paid for.

I am sure when the citizens of B.C. finally see the uncooked books, in other words the real financial disaster that is the B.C. Liberals’ legacy, they will be shocked and forced to put to rest once and for all the myth of con-servative (B.C. Liberal) financial competence.

The fact is these clowns would be hard-pressed to run a pop-corn stand.

We’re never too old to have beautiful teeth!Regular visits to the dentist are a good idea, no matter how old we are. To keep our teeth beautiful and our gums healthy, all we have to do is take care of them.

Even though their needs change over the years, seniors should continue to see a professional periodically either for a routine check-up or a treatment.

Brushing and use of dental � oss are the two most important habits to persevere with in order to have healthy teeth. The Canadian Dental Association suggests twice daily brushings as well as a daily cleaning with dental � oss. This routine will help remove any plaque, which causes tooth decay, and will keep gums healthy.

It is as important to take care of dental prostheses as natural teeth. They also should be cleaned on a daily basis. Use a brush with soft bristles to clean the gums or a clean, damp cloth, which can be wrapped around a � nger.

It is also recommended to soak prostheses overnight in a warm solution consisting of water and white vinegar or a cleaning product for prostheses. Your specialist will recommend having your prosthesis adjusted from time to time. As for dental implants, they require gentler cleaning using both a toothbrush and dental � oss.

Good oral hygiene, regular check-ups at the dentist and professional advice will help you keep your beautiful smile.

THE WOMAN who killed Surrey’s Kassandra Kaulius last year while drunk and speeding at the wheel of a van has been sentenced to three years and one month in prison and is banned from driving for � ve years following the completion of her sentence.

Natasha Warren, 35, gave a small smile and wave to her mother and other family members and friends as she was led by sheri� s into custody. Just prior, her mom whispered “oh my God” and held her head in her hands upon hearing her daughter’s jail sentence.

Outside the courtroom, the Kaulius family and friends hugged and wept. Kassandra’s mom Markita Kaulius said she would have liked to have seen a longer sentence imposed, especially since Warren could be eligible for parole in a year.

“I’m not sure how I feel,” said Markita. “Every day is painful for us because we’re without Kassandra.”

She said she still wasn’t convinced of War-ren’s remorse.

“To us, actions have always spoken louder than words,” Markita said. “Is she remorse-

ful? I’m sure she’s remorseful she got caught.”In July, Warren, a criminology student

who wants to become a youth probation o� cer, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing death, impaired driving causing death, and failure to stop at an accident.

Warren was intoxicated – twice the legal alcohol limit – when she was driving northbound in a company van at 64 Avenue and 152 Street on May 3, 2011 when she slammed into a BMW being driven by 22-year-old Kaulius, who was on her way home from a so� ball game in Cloverdale.

Warren ran from the accident and was later found hiding in a nearby treed area. Witnesses said she reeked of alcohol and was slurring and staggering.

Earlier this month, Warren apologized in court, saying words couldn’t express how sorry she was for causing the death.

“If I could take it back, I would trade places with her (Kaulius) in a second,” said Warren, vowing to speak out about the perils of drinking and driving.

Her lawyer said she sent another letter of apology to Vancouver newspapers on � ursday.

� e Crown was seeking a three-and-a-half year federal jail term, while the defence wanted 25 months.

In delivering his sentence, Surrey Provin-cial Court Judge Gurmail Gill said he felt Warren’s remorse was genuine and that the fatal incident was not “in keeping with her character.”

Still, he said, her decisions and actions on the night Kassandra Kaulius was killed showed a “high degree of intentional risk-taking” and that her conduct was “grave and morally blameworthy.”

The IndependenT Investigation Office has cleared Langley RCMP of any wrong-doing in a fatal crash on 16 Avenue that killed 47-year-old Victor Duarte on Oct. 29, 2012.

Duarte, a father and husband from Delta, was killed instantly when the driver of a pick-up truck who was fleeing from police drove into an intersection, hitting another vehicle, which in turn hit Duarte’s vehicle.

Duarte’s wife has been given the IIO’s report and has asked for privacy, said IIO Chief Civilian Director Richard Rosenthal. He spoke to the report’s conclusions at a press conference in Surrey last month.

In October, Langley RCMP traffic services was conducting a speed check and Automated Licence Plate Reader (ALPR) enforcement project in the 24000 block of 0 Avenue after residents in the area had complained of speeding.

Around 5:30 p.m., the ALPR identified a pass-ing vehicle, a dark green pick-up truck, as being associated to a prohibited driver. That pick-up was flagged down by officers and directed to pull over.

Officers attempted to

pull the truck over and the driver fled the scene.

Rosenthal said he wouldn’t be releasing the speed of the truck because that is part of a criminal investigation into the driver’s actions.

Two police vehicles pursued the truck, with emergency lights on, travelling more than 100 km/h on a 60 km/h road.

But according to the IIO report, the lead vehicle discontinued the pursuit in 36 seconds. The officer deciding to pull over and turn off the lights instead, judging the pursuit as fruitless.

Still, less than three minutes later, a collision involving the pick-up truck and two other vehicles took place, leaving Duarte dead and the suspect truck driver seriously injured, said the IIO. Police later said he is a 27-year-old Chilliwack man.

The IIO immediately took over jurisdiction into the actions of the involved Langley RCMP officers. Six IIO investigators went to the scene and two more were brought in for the investigation.

“I’ve concluded there is no criminal violation on part of the officers involved,” said Rosenthal.

He stressed that the role of the IIO is not

RCMP policy, in regards to police pursuits, but whether or not there are reasons to pursue crimi-nal charges on the part of police involved.

“Whether or not these officers followed RCMP policy is up to the RCMP,” he said.

Rosenthal said because Langley RCMP continue to investigate and pos-sibly lay criminal charges against the truck driver, he won’t be releasing the names of the officers involved or the suspect driver.

The IIO interviewed witnesses, obtained copies of the radio communications that took place between the involved officers as well as computer aided dis-patch records and video footage from the RCMP patrol vehicles.

The RCMP officer who was the lead vehicle in the short pursuit pro-vided a voluntary written statement to the IIO. The second officer who was driving behind the lead vehicle declined to provide a statement.

Just like anyone else, the officers are allowed to refuse to give a statement to the IIO.

This is the first inves-tigation in Langley con-ducted by the IIO. They took over investigating police-related deaths several months ago. Prior to that, police conducted their own investigations.

The IIO currently has 11 files, and has closed three.

Family Law

The Family Law Act, which replaces the Family Relations Act, is scheduled to take full effect in March 2013. The definition of “spouse” under the new Act makes no distinction between married couples, common law spouses, and same-sex couples. Couples entering spousal relationships or considering separa-tion or divorce should pay particular attention to the effect the new Act will have on their property rights.

The Family Law Act redefines “family property” to include all real and personal property acquired by either spouse from the date the spousal relationship began until the date of separation. Property that is excluded from division are specifically listed under the Act: gifts, inheritance, damages for bodily injury or payments from and insurance policy (not including wage loss), to name just a few.

Under the new rules, all assets and debts acquired during the spousal relationship are subject to division upon separation or divorce unless the property falls within the above exceptions. The burden is on the spouse claiming the exclusion to dem-onstrate that the property should not be divided between the spouses.

Caution is advisable when co-mingling “family assets” with previously owned or excluded property. Wages earned, assets acquired, and debts incurred during a spousal relationship are likely to fall under the umbrella of “family assets.” So, for ex-ample, a spouse who uses wages earned during the spousal re-lationship to pay for renovations to a condominium owned prior to the relationship may be entitling his spouse to an interest in the increased market value resulting from those renovations.

The determination of how family assets and debts are ultimately divided depends on the specific circumstances of each case. Although the Family Law Act provides greater clarity for classi-fication of property, its broad application can be problematic for individuals who may unintentionally fall under the new definition of a “spouse”. Individuals who wish to preserve certain assets should seek legal advice and consider a written agreement re-specting division of property and debt.

Releasing a snakehead fish into B.C. waters could cost you up to $250,000.

The B.C. government has amended its controlled alien species regulation to impose steep fines for releasing invasive fish such as the snakehead, a Chinese import with a voracious appetite and the ability to wiggle across land to get to new water-ways.

A snakehead fish discovered in a pond in Burnaby Central Park in June forced environment ministry biologists to pump the lake level down so it could be captured. The toothy beasts were being imported and sold alive in Asian specialty food stores.

The new regulations also aim to stop the spread of zebra or quagga mussels that can attach themselves to boats and equipment and infest lakes. Failure to remove those mussels, alive or dead, can trigger a fine of up to $100,000.

“The impact of the snakehead and zebra mussel in other jurisdictions has been devastating to those local ecosystems,” Environment Minister Terry Lake said in

announcing the latest changes.The regulations also prohibit possession and

breeding of identified high-risk aquatic species. They expand the reach of legislation passed in 2009 that restricted ownership and breeding of tigers, snakes, crocodiles and a long list of other exotic animals.

Added to the list are spe-cies of monitor lizard that grow to more than two metres long or otherwise represent a threat to public safety.

B.C.’s restrictions for private zoos were passed after a woman was killed by a Bengal tiger kept in a cage at an exotic animal attraction on a farm near 100 Mile House in 2007.

The new regulations add definitions for “accredited zoo or aquarium” as well as schools and research facilities that are permitted to possess exotic animals for study purposes.

The regulation requires owners of controlled

species to apply for permits. Conservation officers have authority to seize animals that are considered an immediate threat to health and safety of people.

More information is available on the B.C. govern-ment website at http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/wildlife-actreview/cas/

On Saturday, Jan. 5, the Surrey Fire Fighters’ Charitable Society will hold its 25th annual tree chip event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Newton Athletic Park, 128 Street and 74 Avenue.

Residents are invited to contribute a small cash donation along with their unwanted Christmas trees to help raise funds for the Surrey Fire Fighters’ Charitable Society’s Youth and Family Programs.

Since 1988, Surrey firefighters have been organizing the annual tree chip event, raising nearly $5,000 each year. More than 40 firefighters volunteer annually to help remove trees from citizens’ vehicles and toss them into the chipper. Trees are accepted with a small cash donation and donors receive a brochure about the society, as well as a small token of appreciation for partici-pating in this environmentally friendly program.

The tree chip event is just one of several charitable events being held in Surrey as part of We Live Here, We

Give Here – a joint initiative between the Surrey Fire Fighters’ Charitable Society, Surrey Food Bank and Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation that encourages Surrey residents to donate in support of charities with Surrey-based mandates.

Other charitable events being held by the Surrey Fire Fighters’ Charitable Society include the annual Goodwill Senior Girls Basketball Classic, run-ning Jan. 8-12 at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary School. Sixteen teams from Surrey will participate in the annual tournament, which aims to promote volunteerism, diversity, and female sport.

Along with members volunteering their time organizing game schedules and sponsorships, and providing barbecue sales in support of the tournament, the Surrey Fire Fighters’ Charitable Society also offers several bursaries to those students demonstrat-ing outstanding volunteer service in their community.

A weAlth of flowering shrubs has been blooming in many gardens since late November, especially with our mild weather so far, but many folks have yet to discover the beauty winter-flowering shrubs can bring to a winter garden.

To me, a fragrant Chinese witch hazel (Hamame-lis mollis) blooming in mid-winter is more special than a whole row of flowering plums in May. Winter-flowering shrubs provide that lift we need during those cold, grey days, and they bring a gentle reminder that spring is on its way.

The star-like yellow blossoms of Jas-mine nudiflorum are open now and will continue to flower until mid-March. I recently saw an artistic bouquet of these branches in someone’s home, and the old-fashioned charm of these flowers was a match for any spring bouquet. These shrubs are actually a semi-vine and look smashing against an old wall or rustic fence.

In colder parts of the Lower Mainland, winter-flowering Japanese cherry trees (Prunus Autumnalis) are rather fickle when it comes to early blossoms, but in Vancouver there is a row of them along Nanaimo Street north of First Avenue which actually starts flowering in November and continues almost non-stop until April.

The deciduous winter-flowering Viburnum Pink Dawn is still one of my favourites. Its fragrant clusters of tiny pink blossoms just never seem to quit. It will throw out a few blossoms in fall, but from early Febru-ary onward, more and more blossoms will open until this shrub is a mass of pink through to April.

We too often overlook a distant cousin of Vibur-

num Pink Dawn, the evergreen Viburnum tinus Spring Bouquet. It is now full of white blossoms that look exceptional when contrasted with its bronze buds and steel blue berries.

I have a weakness for witch hazel, especially the fragrant yellow mollis. Cut a few branches from a vine for indoors, and your whole home will be filled with a most exotic perfume. Move over gardenias! Although they don’t have a great perfume, the orange variety,

‘Jelina’ and the red ‘Diane’ are a must for the home garden.

One of the less known winter gems is the series of winter-flowering Oregon Grape, or mahonia. The variety Winter Sun is in full bloom now.

Winter heathers, or more correctly Erica carneas, are important to all our gardens. They perform beautifully in perennial borders, but don’t forget, they make sensational ground covers too! Have you ever seen a bed of white birch clumps surrounded by Springwood white heather? If not, try planting one because winter will never look better.

As the last leg of winter turns the corner, a whole host of winter-blooming shrubs celebrate its passing. Chimonanthus, or Wintersweet, will be in bloom soon, and its fragrant, light yellow/stained purple flowers are a delight few gardeners have enjoyed... probably because it is so hard to find. If you can find one, grab it! Its perfume alone is worth the price.

I am very fond of Corylopsis pauciflora, or But-tercup Winter Hazel. It is not yet in bloom, but it looks so neat in any landscape situation. Bell-shaped, primrose yellow flowers droop gracefully in clusters throughout this low spreading shrub, and if you plant some purple Wanda primulas or miniature blue Iris reticulata around the base, you’ll create another great combination.

Cornus mas, or the Cornelian Cherry, is a February bloomer, and although its blossoms are smaller than the Chinese witch hazel, I think it is well worth a spot in your garden. I am not going to mention its edible red fruit or reddish purple autumn foliage either.

February daphne (Daphne mezereum) blooms faithfully each year after Valentine’s Day. Its rosy purple flowers appear along its branches before the leaves, and their perfume rates a 10.

After mid-March, the spring-flowering shrubs take over, and we forget all about winter. Next fall, however, when the last of the gorgeous fall foliage disappears, wouldn’t it be nice to look forward to these delightful winter flowers? Well, you can only enjoy them if you plant them now, so visit your favourite garden shop and discover the pleasures of winter-flowering shrubs.
