Local residential properties have experienced a significant boost in value, according to the assessor for the province.
BC Assessment is currently sending out valuations for prop-erties throughout the province. Those figures will determine the property taxes paid on each home.
Surrey, Delta and White Rock are now bundled in with the Fraser Valley region, which includes all properties south of the Fraser Riv-er up to Boston Bar and Manning Park.
The assessments were done throughout the region last year and are based on the estimated value of the homes on July 1, 2015.
Single-family homes in both North and South Surrey saw increases of 10 per cent from the year prior; east Surrey saw jumps of 12 per cent; and central Surrey shot up by 16 per cent.
A similar home in North Delta saw increases of about 10 per cent, while White Rock experienced jumps in value of about 14 per cent.
“The majority of homeowners within the region can expect a modest increase, compared to last year’s assessment,” said Deputy Assessor Brian Smith in a release. “Properties in South Delta and parts of Richmond will generally see the highest per cent increase in the region.”
(South Richmond saw climbs of 20 per cent, while South Delta as-sessments jumped by 17 per cent).
More detailed assessments are available on the agency’s new web-site at evaluebc.bcassessment.ca, which includes all valuations.
If a property owner feels their home has been incorrectly as-sessed, they can submit a notice of appeal by Feb. 1 for an indepen-dent review of their house value.
JEFF NAGEL
Many homeowners are stunned at the jump in their property value, but just imagine if the increase was measured in the millions.
Some of the priciest properties in the Fraser Valley have gained more than $2 million, according to data released Tuesday by BC Assess-ment.
The highest assessed single-fam-ily house in the region is at 2021
Indian Fort Dr. in Surrey and its value leapt $2.4 million – or 25 per cent – from $9.5 million to just over $11.9 million.
A White Rock house at 13616 Ma-rine Drive shot up by almost $2.8 million or 30 per cent, from $9.1 million to $11.87 million.
When acreages are included, the highest assessed residential proper-ty in the Fraser Valley (into which BC Assessment includes Surrey and Richmond) was a Surrey acreage at 17146 20 Ave. that gained nearly $2 million to $16.15 million.
And the priciest property in Lang-ley Township – an acreage at 19683 0 Ave. – saw its assessment rise 31 per cent, or $2.4 million, to $10.06 million, from $7.6 million.
(Explore The Leader’s interactive map at bit.ly/1POASrh to see the 50 highest assessed homes in the Fraser Valley).
Surrey houses dominate the region’s top 100 list, which includes only a few other properties further east – four acreages in Langley Township ranging from $4.8 to $6.1 million and one in Chilliwack’s Columbia Valley valued at $4.6 million. Five properties on the list exceed $10 million.
The most expensive home in B.C. overall was Lululemon founder Chip Wilson’s Vancouver house at 3085 Point Grey Rd., now assessed at $63.87 million, up 10.9 per cent.
Apart from that house and $51-million James Island off Sid-
ney, the top 10 highest-value homes in B.C. are all in Vancouver and exceed $29 million.
According to BC Assessment, de-tached houses in urban areas of the Fraser Valley typically gained five to 25 per cent, and more rural houses were up or down by as much as five per cent in most cases.
Strata units in the Fraser Valley gained between zero and 10 per cent, while commercial properties increased five to 25 per cent.
Bigger increases were more common in Greater Vancouver, where detached houses were up 15 to 30 per cent and strata units were usually up around 10 per cent.
You can look up any B.C. prop-erty’s assessment at evaluebc.bcassessment.ca
The new assessments are based on estimated values as of July 1, 2015.
“This is a snapshot in our rear-view mirror,” B.C. Real Estate Association Chief Economist Cam-eron Muir said. “Home prices have probably gone up 10 per cent across the region since then.”
Muir said strong demand and a diminishing supply of increasingly scarce single detached houses trig-gered the “pretty significant gains” of 2015.
B.C. bumps up homeowner grant threshold
The B.C. government has raised the threshold to qualify for the full homeowner grant to shield some residential prop-erty owners from a higher tax bill.
The jump in assessed values this year would have left own-er-occupied homes that have climbed above $1.1 million – the previous threshold – with less than the basic $570 home-owner grant offsetting taxes.
The revised threshold is $1.2 million and homes above that lose $5 of the grant for every $1,000 in additional value.
That means the grant now disappears altogether for homes assessed at more than $1.314 million.
Seniors whose property tax bills have skyrocketed over the years also have the option of deferring property taxes until the eventual sale of the home.

A hail of bullets, a call for help, a dangerous high-speed chase and an eventual crash resulted in the arrest and charge of three people this week.
On Monday at 7:50 p.m.. a man approached a suspicious vehicle parked in his neighbourhood near 48 Avenue and 152 Street. Th e occupants fi red a gun at the man’s pick-up truck, causing him to call police.
Th e driver of the pick-up then decided to pursue the people in the Pontiac to Highway 99, then to Highway 17, and to 80 Street and River Road, where the Pontiac crashed into a BC Hydro power pole.
Th e three people inside were
injured in the collision, but not se-riously, and were taken to hospital and arrested.
Eric Anthony Scott Blakeslee, 27, Corey Lee Myers, 25, and James Gerald Rich-ardson, 47, have been charged with a string of off enses, including attempted murder with a fi rearm.
Richardson has also been charged with possession of a prohibited or re-stricted fi rearm and possessing it knowing he had no licence or registration.
Blakeslee has also been charged with dis-guising his face with intent to commit an off ence and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
At the time of the incident, Myers, a Surrey resident, had a Canada-wide warrant out for him for failing to comply with proba-tion as well as a local warrant for
break and enter.Investigators are seeking
additional information from any witnesses to the incident who have not yet spoken to police.
Police also stress that deciding to engage in a vehicle pursuit of any kind is not recom-mended.
“Despite repeat-ed requests to stop pursing the suspect vehicle, the citizen refused to comply with our commands,” said Surrey RCMP Sgt. Paul Hayes. “When you pursue a vehicle or suspect, not only are you putting your life and the general public’s lives at risk,
you risk being charged yourself and could face criminal and civil consequences”
Anyone with information is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

SHEILA REYNOLDS
Th e daughter of a man killed during an armed stand-off outside a casi-no in New Westminster in 2012 has dropped a civil lawsuit she fi led a year ago against the police offi cer who fi red the fatal shot.
Nousha Bayrami sued Const. Jordan MacWil-liams, accusing him of shooting her dad, Meh-rdad Bayrami, “without warning or justifi cation” after a fi ve-hour con-frontation at Starlight Casino. Police had been called to the scene early Nov. 8, 2012 after a report of shots being fi red. Mehrdad Bayra-mi, 48, had allegedly accosted and confi ned his estranged girlfriend and after she was taken to safety, continued to wave his gun around and
refused to surrender for several hours.
MacWilliams, a Delta Police offi cer working with the MIERT (Munic-ipal Integrated Emer-gency Response Team) at the time, said it was when Bayrami pointed the gun at police that he shot the man in the abdomen.
Bayrami died 10 days later in hospital.
A document fi led Dec. 17 in B.C. Supreme Court dismissed the suit fi led by Nousha Bayrami.
In July, the Criminal Justice Branch also stayed criminal charges against MacWilliams – who was initially charged with second-de-gree murder in the case – due to a lack of evidence.
A coroner’s inquest into Mehrdad Bayrami’s death is slated to start Feb. 9, during which a jury will hear evidence and then make recom-mendations aimed at preventing deaths under similar circumstances.

T he New Year rollover usually sparks refl ection involving both hindsight and foresight. Th is year — 2016, the
gaze ahead is perhaps the more riveting, especially in matters technological — as if this hasn’t become ‘the new norm’! Nevertheless we are, in this latter half of the second 21st-century-decade, fi nally seeing tangibles in endeavours sharing a common source engineer/inventor/investor and entrepreneur, namely Elon Musk, founder of PayPal, CEO and CTO of SpaceX, CEO and product architect of Tesla Motors, founder, chairman, and the largest shareholder of SolarCity, backer of the Hyperloop project, and the founder of OpenAl.
Mr. Musk is among the most famous technology ‘superstars’ of the late 20th/early 21st centuries and at only 44 years of age with ‘just’ these endeavours alone, possibly already on track to achieve Th omas Edison-like fame and fortune. A common thread in his current ventures is in creating and storing energy and using it to move: faster, and cleaner, and farther, and smarter. Mr. Musk, it would seem may just be getting started.
Take Tesla Motors Inc., incorporated in 2003. Th e latest media reports indicate that in the fourth quarter of 2015, it delivered 17,400 vehicles, thereby exceeding its goal to sell at least 50,000 electrically powered vehicles for the year by the number 580.
On a shared assembly line at its factory in Fremont, California, Tesla is now producing two all-electric vehicles, the
Model S sedan, and its latest off ering, the Model X SUV, launched on September 29, 2015 with 208 vehicles delivered by year-end. All the big auto manufacturers have been involved, one way or another, for decades in developing electric cars as one solution to the negative environmental impact of the internal combustion engine. All have struggled with battery technology development, price points, ride quality and the chicken-and-egg problem of charging infrastructure to permit some semblance of support for long distance travel.
Only Tesla to date — albeit with help from government subsidization and the benefi t of later phase innovation — has produced a top rated e-vehicle on its way to being an entrenched and popular status symbol. Th is in turn should help with the uptake of more aff ordable mass-market e-vehicles even if Tesla itself proves unable to move from its super-luxury niche, as it hopes to do with its Model 3, due for unveiling this coming spring with production to begin in 2017.
One important component of the Model 3 development is Mr. Musk’s goal to produce more powerful, sleeker, and less expensive electric car batteries in the world’s largest and most advanced battery factory he is building in Carson City, Nevada. Th e latest predictions are for the $5 billion “gigafactory” to open in late 2016.
Also included in this power source eff ort is the goal to produce a relatively inexpensive utility-scale battery that can store energy from renewable sources like solar and wind or from the existing grid for back up or for use where the price of electricity varies with usage rates. Since Tesla fi rst announced its cheap utility-scale battery in the spring of 2015, it has been fl ooded with over 100,000 reservations, which, if translated into sales would amount to over $1 billion in 2016.

SHEILA REYNOLDS
A man who murdered a truck driver in Surrey nearly 18 years ago has lost an appeal of his conviction – for a second time.
Gary Donald John-ston was found guilty in 2011 of the sec-ond-degree murder of Vic Fraser during a home robbery gone wrong in 1998.
Th e court heard that Johnston had broken into Vic’s sister Jeanie Fraser’s home in the Bridgeview area. Vic Fraser interrupted the robbery, but because the two men had met before, greeted each other kindly at fi rst. Th en Johnston pan-icked, grabbing two knives from the kitchen and stabbing Fraser numerous times in the neck – so hard the knife handles broke – before fl eeing on a bike.
Johnston wasn’t arrested until 2009, after admitting the stabbing to an under-cover RCMP offi cer posing as an organized crime boss – a policing technique known as a “Mr. Big” operation.
In 2014, Johnston appealed his convic-tion, mainly objecting to the admissibility of a statement from his brother that Johnston had confessed to the crime. He lost the ap-peal and his conviction was upheld.
Just months later, however, Th e Supreme Court of Canada
released a judgment laying out new rules governing admissibility of statements made during Mr. Big stings. Johnston’s case was sent back to the B.C. Court of Appeal for a second hearing.
During the second appeal, which was heard late last October in Van-couver, Johnston’s law-yers argued the Mr. Big operation was an abuse of process because the scenarios were violent and made it appear two people were kidnapped, beaten and killed.
They also alleged the sting preyed on the poverty and social isolation Johnston experienced after being released from prison for a Saskatch-ewan manslaughter he pleaded guilty to in 2000.
B.C. Court of Ap-peal Justice David
Frankel said scenarios involving violence are common in Mr. Big operations to give the impression the fake criminal organization tolerates and is prepared to use vio-lence.
“Th is is done to create an atmosphere in which the person under investigation will not be reluctant to discuss his or her past involvement in similar violent acts…” wrote Frankel in a Jan. 5 decision.
He also rejected the notion police preyed on Johnston.
“While Mr. John-ston was unemployed, he was not socially
isolated, destitute, or vulnerable,” said Fran-kel. “He had a criminal past that he freely dis-closed… a past that in-cludes taking another
person’s life. He was not a person unac-customed to violence.”
Frankel, with Justices Edward Chiasson and Daphne Smith in agreement, said John-ston’s state-ments to undercover offi cers were
highly reliable as he spoke of details – such as the broken knife handles and use of a bicycle – that only the killer would know.
Johnston isn’t eligi-ble to apply for parole before 2028.

The value of homes in Surrey and the surrounding region continues to rise, according to figures released by BC Assess-ment on Monday.
The authority took the unusual step of stating in early December that many assessed values would increase “notably more than av-erage.” It said many property as-sessments, particularly of homes on lots, would rise by 15 to 25 per cent from the January 2015 assessments. These significant jumps would take place through-out the Metro Vancouver area.
Assessed values are used for property taxation purposes, but are also widely used by realtors, home buyers and sellers, and others wanting more informa-tion on what’s going on in the real estate market.
The authority wasn’t wrong about the jump in property values. A press release issued Monday shows the assessed values (which are based on a hy-pothetical sale on July 1, 2015) have risen by between 10 and 17 per cent in Surrey, Delta and White Rock.
The “typical” assessed value for standalone homes has jumped by 17 per cent in South Delta, 16 per cent in Central Surrey, 14 per cent in White Rock, 12 per cent in East Surrey and North Delta, and 10 per cent in North Surrey and South Surrey. There has been a much slower rise in
assessed values for strata units.There is no question there is
increasing demand for homes on lots, most of which are not “single family,” which is rapidly becoming a misnomer. Fewer new ones are being built as the value of land makes it difficult for younger buyers to afford them. Cities are also encouraging higher densities in order to make transit service more viable.
In recent months, many Surrey homeowners have been approached by realtors who are in need of listings of standalone homes. There has been more demand than supply, boosting prices and reducing inventory.
However, it’s highly unlikely prices will keep rising indefinite-ly. While low interest rates make it possible to borrow large sums of money and have affordable mortgage payments, people paying those mortgages also need a steady income. The econ-omy in the Lower Mainland is stable, but far from robust. Many homeowners are dependent on rent from tenants in one or more suites to make their mortgage payments.
The rise is assessments may also mean that a number of homeowners end up paying sig-nificantly higher taxes this year. While jumps in assessments are often accompanied by reductions
in mill rates, to keep taxation fairly even, Surrey in particular is facing large additional expenses. If council decides not to reduce the mill rate significantly, it could boost taxes substantially - simply by taking advantage of the jump in property values. The biggest share of the increases would be borne by those owning stand-alone homes, as their assess-ments have gone up the most.
It is also possible TransLink, which draws a significant amount of revenue from proper-ty tax, will also take advantage of the jump in assessments and not reduce its mill rate substantially. This is even more likely after the referendum defeat of its proposal to boost the sales tax.
A small number of homeown-ers with properties worth more than $1.1 million (there are a lot of them in White Rock) will also lose all or part of their home-owner grants. The provincial government was paying the homeowner grant for properties worth $1.295 million or less in 2013 (significantly, an election year), but dropped that thresh-old to $1.1 million for 2014 and 2015. On Tuesday, the B.C. government announced it would raise the 2016 grant threshold to $1.2 million.
Frank Bucholtz writes weekly for The Leader.
I was in a place the other day that had a Leader article from Nov. 4 on the bulletin board. Th e article was about recycling and too much stuff still going to the landfi ll.
Well, my comment is too bad. Get over it. And here is why.
I moved to Chilliwack last January from Edmonton. When I recycled in Edmonton, I used to crush my pop cans and milk cartons and fi ll a garbage bag, take it to the recycling depot, rip the bag open, dump the contents
on the counter, and they would count them, chuck them in bins and give me my $12 to $15, all in about fi ve minutes.
Well, this is B.C., eh. With the tree huggers, it should be just as good or even better to recycle here. Huh, was I in for a surprise.
Must fi rst experience was my last. Two big bags full of crushed pop cans and milk just should net me about $25. So off to the recycling depot I went. First they were upset because the items were crushed. Th ey want-ed me to empty the bags, put them in fl ats so they could count them, and told me the milk cartons were worth nothing. I was there for 20 minutes fi lling fl ats with crushed pop
cans, putting them on a cart and then hav-ing them counted, only to fi nd out in the end they were only worth about $10. Needless to say, I was ticked. All that eff ort and work for nothing. I just looked at the guy and said, “I wont be back.” And I wont be.
Moral of the story: B.C. – you do not make it worth my time or eff ort to worry about your recycling programs. Take a tip from how Alberta does it.
Now I just wait till the bottle pickers come around and let them worry about it. Or I chuck them in the garbage.
Allen Baltzer, Surrey
B.C. is presently the only province in Canada that produced a balanced budget for the fi scal year 2015-16. B.C. is also the only province in Canada with an AAA credit rating.
Alberta also had an AAA rating, but was downgraded by Standards and Poor’s to an AA+ credit rating on Dec 18, 2015. Th e credit rating was reduced because of the spending polices of the newly elected NDP provincial government in Alberta.
Th e residents of B.C. should be proud to live in the province of B.C., regardless of their political preferences.

Surrey has shattered the billion-dollar mark in construc-tion projects, recording the second-highest value in devel-opment in the city’s history.
City fi gures provided at the request of Th e Leader show Surrey saw $1.46 billion in construction last year – second only to 2007, when there was $1.49 billion in development.
Th e fi gures indicate that just over $1 billion worth of that construction came from resi-dential building permits. It was relatively equally split between single-family dwellings, homes with secondary suites and townhomes, with the last quar-ter of the money spent going to condos and miscellaneous residential building permits.
Much of the construction occurred in south Newton and South Surrey, according to Surrey’s General Manager of Planning and Development Jean LaMontagne.
Commercial and industrial building projects both came in at about $187 million last year, followed by institutional ($57 million) and other ($17 million).
Commercial construction fi gures were due to a few highly valued properties, such as the new Coast Capital Savings headquarters built near the King George SkyTrain Station.
Industrial development was, and continues to be, strongest in Campbell Heights in South Surrey.
Last year’s numbers boast the best performance in Surrey’s construction sector since the global economic meltdown of 2008.
Since then, the city has been hovering around the bil-lion-dollar mark in permit val-ues for construction, with a few of those years being buoyed by federal infrastructure grants.
While the boom in construc-tion is great news, city offi cials say it’s generally preferred to have a bigger percentage of commercial and industrial development than Surrey is getting.
Th e reasoning is that those two sectors bring in about three times the property taxes to the city, while drawing on far fewer associated taxpay-er-funded resources, such as recreation centres, libraries and roads.
A staff report presented to council in 2001 – when housing stock represented 72 per cent of the total amount of property taxes generated – indicated Surrey was not meeting sus-tainable levels.
“A ratio of 60 per cent residential and 40 per cent industrial and commercial is considered to be the minimum level necessary relative to the long-term health of the city,” the staff report said.
Last year’s ratio alone was 69.3 per cent residential, 25.6 per cent commercial and indus-trial, 3.9 per cent institutional and 1.2 per cent other.
Another important reason for a more equitable balance is to create a city where people can work locally, LaMontagne noted.
Th e city is currently at about 0.7 jobs per person, which is up from where it was 10 years ago.
LaMontagne said the residen-tial demand in Surrey remains extremely strong due in large part to ballooning housing prices in other areas of the Lower Mainland.
Building permit values in Surrey over the last decade:
• 2006 – $1,341,960,510• 2007 – $1,488,819,162• 2008 – $1,268,535,177• 2009 – $859,232,522• 2010 – $1,213,936,581• 2011 – $1,216,268,920• 2012 – $1,305,166,356• 2013 – $1,053,316,786• 2014 – $1,021,135,324• 2015 – $1,459,483,003

TransLink is be-ginning a fare policy review that could bring big new changes in how passengers pay to use transit after 30 years of the three-zone system.
Options for reform include a single fl at fare for unlimited trav-el, or distance-based fares that more accurately refl ect how far passengers travel, according to acting CEO Cathy McLay.
“Each one of them has their advantages and disadvantages,” McLay said. “Every-thing is on the table for us.”
She said the over-riding goal will be to increase ridership and make the fare payment structure “more fair and equitable.”
Th e review is to last two years and include four rounds of pub-lic consultation to determine what transit users would support.
“What do they value and what do they believe is fair and equi-table?”
Th e system of three fare zones is essentially unchanged since before SkyTrain opened for Expo ’86.
Cash fares for a Sky-Train trip are currently $2.75 to ride one zone, $4 for trips across two zones and $5.50 to ride three zones, such as from Surrey to Van-couver.
Th e current zone system means passen-gers who ride just one stop can end up paying for two zones if their trip crosses a zone boundary.
A move to a single fl at fee could mean a signifi cant price break for passengers that now pay for three zones.
But other hybrid options are also possible, such as a fl at maximum fare for lon-ger trips and lower dis-tance-based pricing for short hops, attracting new passengers who won’t now pay $2.75 to
ride a bus a few blocks.Th e arrival of the
Compass card also opens up other fare options that TransLink offi cials have previous-ly mooted – such as time-of-day pricing and discounts on selected routes to get maximum ridership and revenue from existing transit capacity.
TransLink has already eliminated multi-zone fares for bus routes that cross zone boundaries – that change this fall was in response to a decision to temporarily aban-don the Compass card tap-out requirement on buses.
Offi cials say have not seen a signifi cant de-cline in transit revenue as a result of dropping to one zone fares for all buses, which is
credited with modestly increasing bus rider-ship, particularly on multi-zone routes that now cost less to ride.
But McLay antici-pates a $1.1-million drop in transit revenue next year as a result of the full rollout of the Compass card.
Th at’s because signifi -cant numbers of riders who still pay in cash will be charged less when they start using Compass cards, which gives them the same discount as prepaid FareSaver tickets.
TransLink has seen lower-than-expected transit ridership over the past two years since the last fare increase.
Transit fares generate nearly $500 million a year and any fare struc-ture reform would have to deliver a similar amount if the system is to maintain its current 53 per cent cost-recov-ery ratio with existing service levels.
Compass is also giving transit plan-ners much better data on actual use of the system through all the taps in and out. McLay said that will help guide the fare policy review and oth-er changes to transit service.
Th ere are now 350,000 active Com-pass cards, with about 1,000 to 2,000 new cards being sold each day. About 150,000 unique cards are being regularly tapped each day.
Roughly half of SkyTrain faregates are now closed, helping provide a better visual reminder to exiting passengers to tap out so they don’t pay too much.

TransLink will consider reforms to HandyDart service in response to recurring rider complaints and that could lead to a decision to replace the current U.S.-based contractor in 2017.
Th at’s when TransLink’s contract with MVT Canadian Bus Ltd. expires but outgoing board chair Barry Forbes said talks can start next year, along with a review to determine how better to serve passengers with disabilities who can’t use the regular transit system.
“We are concerned,” Forbes said after an open board meeting where TransLink direc-tors heard several users complain the door-to-door custom transit service is inadequate and diffi cult to use.
Forbes promised TransLink will reach out to users to “fi gure out how we can adjust the system to more ad-equately and accurately – and humanely – meet their needs.”
Many activist users and unionized drivers have been openly at war with MVT for years and they repeated their calls for the private for-profi t contractor to be abandoned in favour of a service run directly by TransLink or a non-profi t.
“We all know there will be an increased demand for HandyDart service in the future,” said Bob Chitren-ky, president of the drivers’ union, arguing profi ts that now go
to MVT’s U.S. parent should instead be kept here to build a more sustainable service.
HandyDart’s budget would have increased had the transit sales tax ref-erendum passed earlier this year, but it remains eff ectively frozen.
Chitrenky warned that budget restraint measures making it harder to qualify for HandyDart or moving to longer pickup time windows “may get
less people riding but it’s not the answer to service.”
HandyDart users at the meeting carried placards with slogans like “people before prof-it” and “stop the abuse.”
Long waits and lack of availability of HandyDart vans has been a steady com-plaint of riders, as well as infl exibility of dispatchers.
“Accommodation is not in their dictionary,”
said terminally ill dis-abled user Bet Tuason. “To MVT, it’s a foreign language.”
TransLink will consider the option of ending contracting out and making the service a direct TransLink function “as well as all other options,” Forbes said.
He indicated the aim will be not just to decide who should run the service, but how it might change.

A basketball up a tree or a coff ee shop that won’t refi ll your cup are not emergencies.
But that didn’t stop hundreds of Lower Mainland residents from inappropriately dialing 911 in 2015 to report similar crises, according to a top 10 list of most outra-geous calls released by E-Comm, southwest B.C.’s emergency com-munications centre.
Other ridiculous calls that had 911 dispatchers scratching their heads were, “My roommate used my toothbrush” and, “My son won’t put his seat-belt on.”
E-Comm spokesper-son Jody Robertson said too many people can’t be bothered to look up the phone
number they really need – be that a police non-emergency line or in the case of the top bozo call of 2015, the number for a local tire dealership.
Robertson said such calls come in “every sin-gle day” and take up the time of 911 call takers, creating the potential for delays in responding to real life-and-death emergencies.
“When I see a call come in to 911 where someone says ‘Th is isn’t an emergency, what’s the non-emergency number?’ it says to me somebody knows what their situation is and it’s perplexing that they’d dial 911,” she said. “Just using the internet to do a quick search would be really benefi cial.”
Calls that should instead go to a police non-emergency line include cases where shoppers come out of a mall to fi nd their car broken into hours earlier with no suspect in sight.
A true emergency is a police, fi re or medical situation that requires immediate action because someone’s health, safety or prop-erty is in jeopardy or a crime is in progress.
“Th e calls on our top 10 list don’t belong on our non-emergency line or the emergency line either.”
Nor can E-Comm staff instantly discon-nect calls that initially appear to be trivial. Call takers have to be alert to scenarios where a caller feels threatened by some-one in earshot and is speaking in code or otherwise concocting
a story to hide the fact they’ve dialed 911.
“We are trained to ask questions in case a caller is in distress and can’t speak freely,” E-Comm call taker Harrison Kwan said. “It’s only when I’m completely satisfi ed that the call is not a real emergency that I can disconnect and go back to answering other 911 calls. And that takes time.”
E-Comm’s top 10 reasons not to call 911 for 2015:
1. Requesting the number for a local tire dealership.
2. Reporting an issue with a vending machine.
3. Asking for the non-emergency line.
4. Because a car parked too close to theirs.
5. “My son won’t put his seatbelt on.”
6. Coff ee shop is re-fusing to refi ll coff ee.
7. Asking if it’s okay
to park on the street.8. “My roommate
used my toothbrush.”9. Asking for help
getting a basketball out of a tree.
10. Reporting that their building’s air system is too loud and they can’t sleep.

While most members of the Surrey Eagles – coaches and players alike – spent the BC Hockey League’s Christmas break relaxing with friends and family, one player was busy playing for his country.
Defenceman Ludvig Adamsen spent the holidays playing for Denmark at the 2016 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships, which began Boxing Day in Helsinki, Fin-land and wrapped up with the gold-medal game Tuesday.
The 19-year-old Eagle was a staple on the Danish blue-line, and was the only player from a Junior A team in the entire tourna-ment.
Denmark finished the the round-rob-in portion of the U20 junior showcase with a won-loss record of 1-3 and nearly pulled off an upset over Russia in the first playoff round – the Danes led 3-2 until the Russians tied the game in the final minute, and then scored again in overtime to win.
Denmark did pull off an upset early in the tournament, however, with an open-ing-game victory over Switzerland. It was the second year in a row that the Danes had upset their higher-ranked Swiss oppo-nents.
Adamsen, a defensive-minded “stay-at-home” blue-liner did not record any points in the tournament, and finished with two penalty minutes and a minus-two.
Last month, prior to the tournament, Adamsen said he was “pretty pumped” to be taking part in the prestigious event, say-ing in a story on the Eagles’ website that “it’s always an honour to represent your country.”
In a news story posted on Danish hockey website, Faceoff Online – translated to English – Denmark head coach Olaf Eller called Adamsen “a fighting dog” who was one of the team’s better players in Den-mark’s 6-1 loss to Canada in round-robin play Dec. 28.
In the same story, Adamsen said he was
“extremely proud to participate at the (world juniors).”
And though they lost to Canada after pulling off the victory over the Swiss, Adamsen added he was still happy with his team’s performance.
“We actually had a good setup, kept (Canada) on the outside and communicat-ed well,” he told Faceoff Online. “You can never be happy when you lose, but Canada, overall, just has (an extra gear).”
It’s expected that Adamsen will rejoin the Surrey Eagles – who played three games last weekend on an Interior Divi-sion road trip – this week.
While players with BC Hockey League ties have played in the World Junior Hockey Championships before – for example, New Westminster’s Kyle Turris and South Sur-rey’s Colton Gillies both played for Canada in 2008 – the players in question have, by that time, left the BCHL. Turris, a former Burnaby Express star, was at the Univer-sity of Wisconsin by the time he suited up
at the international tournament, while Gillies, who briefly played as an affiliate with the Surrey Eagles, was in the WHL with the Saskatoon Blades. Adamsen is the rare exception, suiting up internationally while still with his junior ‘A’ team.
Adamsen is one of just four players on the Danish national team to play full-time in North America. Two others – goaltender
Lasse Petersen and forward Niklas Anderson – play for the Spokane Chiefs of the Western Hockey League (WHL), while another, Alexander True, plays for the Seattle Thunderbirds, also of the WHL.
The six-foot-three defence-man came to the Eagles this season after two years spent playing Junior B on Vancouver
Island. It’s been an up-and-down season for the Danish import – he’s suited up for just 14 games in Surrey due mainly to injury.
As well, he’s had to adjust to the Eagles’ ever-evolving roster this season, as the team struggles to find the right mix of
players. “When I came back from injury, I was
told our defence core had changed and I had three games to prove myself… luckily, I played the next 11 games,” Adamsen said in the same online interview.
He also said his decision to play in Cana-da “has been the right decision” and credit-ed Eagles’ assistant coach Gary Nylund – a longtime National Hockey League defence-man – for much of his development.
“I have developed a great competitive spirit and learned to play under constant pressure,” he said.
The Eagles lost all three games on their road trip last weekend, beginning with a 5-2 loss to the Salmon Arm Silverbacks on New Year’s Day. They followed up with a 4-0 setback Saturday to the Trail Smoke Eaters and a 7-2 defeat Sunday evening to the West Kelowna Warriors. Surrey is now 5-31-1 (win-loss-tie), 26 points out of a playoff position.
The Eagles are back on home ice Friday when they host the Prince George Spruce Kings, and on Sunday afternoon will host the Smoke Eaters.

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project
The British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (Ministry) is proposing to replace the George Massey Tunnel with a new bridge, improve Highway 99 from Bridgeport Road in Richmond to Highway 91 in Delta, and replace interchanges at Westminster Highway, Steveston Highway and Highway 17A (proposed Project). The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act.
The Ministry must obtain an environmental assessment certificate before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. However, prior to submission of an application (Application) for an environmental assessment certificate by the Ministry, the Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) must first approve Application Information Requirements.
Key to the Application Information Requirements is the identification of valued components to be studied and the areas within which the studies would occur. The selected valued components are presented in the Project Description and Key Areas of Study document that the Ministry has prepared, and EAO invites the public to submit comments on.
In order to provide information about the valued components selection, EAO invites the public to attend two Open Houses:
Sandman Signature Hotel Vancouver Airport – Round Room 10251 St. Edwards Drive, Richmond, BC Tuesday January 26, 2016 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Delta Town and Country – Ballroom 6005 Highway 17A (at Highway 99), Delta, BC Wednesday January 27, 2016 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
There are 31 days for the submission of comments by the public in relation to the Project Description and Key Areas of Study document. The comment period will begin on January 15, 2016, and end on February 15, 2016.
NOTE: All submissions received by EAO during the comment period in relation to the proposed Project are considered public and will be posted to the EAO web site.
Open House and Invitation to CommentAll comments received during this comment period in relation to the Project Description and Key Areas of Study document will be considered.
The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the proposed Project are identified for consideration as part of the assessment process. At this stage of the process, the primary intent is to receive feedback about the studies or information required for a comprehensive environmental assessment.
EAO accepts public comments through the following ways:
http://www.eao.gov.bc.ca/pcp/index.html
By Mail:Michael ShepardProject Assessment ManagerEnvironmental Assessment OfficePO Box 9426 Stn Prov GovtVictoria BC V8W 9V1
Fax: 250 387-0230
An electronic copy of the Project Description and Key Areas of Study document and information regarding the environmental assessment process are available at www.eao.gov.bc.ca. Copies of the Project Description and Key Areas of Study will also be available for viewing at:
All Municipal Libraries in the City of Richmond All Municipal Libraries in the Corporation of Delta
If you are unable to participate at this time, there will be an additional comment period during the Application Review stage when you will also be able to provide comments to EAO on the proposed Project.

GELOKHendrikus (Hank) Cornelis
September 9, 1943 - December 29, 2015
Hank passed away peacefully in his sleep at Surrey Memorial Hospital in Surrey, British Colum-bia after a short courageous bat-tle with cancer. He was born in Rotterdam, Holland and immi-grated to Canada in 1957. Hank, a loving husband, father, uncle and friend, leaves behind his wife of 22 years, Eva and their chil-dren, Brandon and Dustin, along with his siblings, Tony, Peter, Fred, Theresia, Jeanette, their husbands and wives, children and grandchildren.
Predeceased in death by his father Anthonius, mother Petronella, brother Art and sister, Hermina. Hank spent most of his life working in the engineering industry. He was a gifted carpenter who loved fi shing, hunting and cruising on his motorcycle. Behind Hank’s tough exterior was a gentle soul who will always be remembered for his kindness, generosity and willing-ness to help others. Family and friends were always what was most important to him. He will be greatly missed by all. As per Hank’s wish there will be no service at this time but a cele-bration of life will be held later.
