Surrey and North Delta will be going to the polls this fall with a few more choices.

The federal election campaign has officially started, as Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper has set in motion a process for a 78-day campaign – the longest in

modern history.Locally, a redistribution of federal

election boundaries means there will be more federal politicians in North Delta and Surrey, as the number of ridings in those areas boomed from four to six.

Delta is now a standalone riding, rather than sharing its boundaries with

Newton prior to 2013. Newton is also now its own riding.

Cloverdale has been hived off from South Surrey-White Rock and now shares Langley City for representa-tion and Surrey-Centre replaces Sur-rey-North. Fleetwood-Port Kells re-mains the same.

The changes are a result of population growth in this area.

The prime minister visited Governor General David Johnston at Rideau Hall Sunday morning to dissolve Parliament and begin the election set for Oct. 19.

Police are investigating the pos-sibility that an arsonist accidental-ly lit himself on fi re, then ran to an SUV which his burning body set ablaze.

On Wednesday at 1:30 a.m., crews responded to a fi re at a home in the 7900-block of 134 Street. When they arrived, they found the garage door of a home and an SUV on fi re about a half-block away.

Police believe the fi re at the home was intentionally set and that the person who set it may have been on fi re when they got into the SUV, setting the vehicle ablaze.

Th e voting day had been fi xed in legislation and party leaders had been in campaign mode for weeks, but dropping the writ this far ahead means spending limits will be in force for much longer than the typical 36 days.

Th at will give a fi nancial advantage to Harper and the Conserva-tives, according to SFU political scientist Patrick Smith.

“Th ey certainly have the largest war chest,” Smith said. “Money matters in politics.”

He predicts the Tories will far outspend their rivals and might be in a position to blitz advertising channels late in the campaign when NDP and Liberal coff ers may be nearly exhausted.

A campaign more than twice the usual length means a spending limit twice as high – more than $50 million per party – that only the Tories have a realistic shot at fully exploiting.

“Th ey have more money than the other parties so they can with-stand a longer race.”

Th e early writ drop means third-party advertising – such as union-funded anti-Tory attack ads by Engage Canada – will now be subject to a tight $200,000 spending limit, largely clamping down on their infl uence. Th at was a key motivation for starting the campaign now rather than waiting, Smith said.

“It shuts up third-party advertising and at the moment they see that as problematic.”

A long, fi nancial war of attrition on the hustings could have ramifi cations beyond who actually wins the election.

Smith currently predicts a Conservative minority. In that scenario, he says, a cash-depleted or possibly indebted Opposition will be less inclined to topple a minority Tory government and force a new election.

“Th ey’re not likely to try to trigger an election in the fi rst six months, so that helps stabilize a Conservative minority,” Smith said. “So people who think about the longer game will be thinking

about those kinds of things.”Th e longest campaign in more than a century will also mean

higher costs to taxpayers. Elections Canada’s costs will be higher to mobilize staff earlier. And more spending than usual by the parties would translate into a higher government subsidy back to the them for use in future campaigns.

As for signifi cant issues, Smith expects the federal push for new oil pipelines across B.C. will hurt the Conservatives in this province.

But he said the slowing economy will be the dominant issue on voters’ minds in deciding which party to support.

Another month of economic contraction could make a suspect-ed recession offi cial by September.

Smith isn’t sure that would necessarily be bad for the PM.“If the economy is bad, do we have to stay with Harper because

he’s the best man to manage it or does he get the blame?”Th e bigger danger for Harper is that “once people start hum-

ming the change tune, it’s pretty hard to reverse it.”

For the Conservatives to win even a minority, the Tories may need the anti-Harper vote split as evenly as possible between the Liberals and NDP, Smith said, and many votes bled off by the Greens as well.

He thinks the Conservatives will struggle to hold onto their seats in B.C.and the Greens may take another seat or two from the NDP on Vancouver Island.

“Th ese things could become more signifi cant if we end up in a mi-nority government with diff erent permutations and combinations.”

B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver has ordered the closure of two controversial lodging houses in North Surrey, however, the owner told Th e Leader Wednesday he plans to appeal the rulings.

Th e two homes, one at 13901 Hansen Rd. and another at 11409 142 St., must be returned to sin-gle-family dwellings by Sept. 30, the court ordered.

It’s the ruling long waited for by several residents in the community, who say they are fearful of the many alleged drug users who occupy the homes. Each house has had in excess of 100 police visits.

After trying to remedy the situation for close to a year and a half, the City of Surrey took the matter to court.

Mohammed Izaz, who says he owns the home with his wife Shamima Bi – who is named in the

court documents – said the couple plans to appeal the fi ndings of the court because they didn’t have legal representation.

Th e lawyer handling the case for them was in hospital, Izaz said.

“Th e lawyer was in intensive care,” Izaz told Th e Leader. “We were not even told we were going to court on these days.”

He said he hasn’t read all the fi ndings in the court documents, but he asserts the two houses

provide shelter to two families apiece – well with-in Surrey bylaws.

He feels he’s being unfairly picked on by the city because of the service he provides.

“Because I just help the homeless people get the shelter,” Izaz said. “Th ey don’t want the homeless people to live in homes, they just want them on the street.”

Nonetheless, the courts have ordered that Bi re-turn the two “lodging houses” back to single-fam-ily dwellings, as required by Surrey’s building bylaw.

Federal election lawn signs have begun to sprout now that Prime Minister Stephen Harper has fired the starting pistol on what will be a 78-day campaign, the longest in modern history. Election day isOct. 19.EVAN SEAL

Th e 2011 Ford Escape was reported stolen later in the morning.

At the time of the fi re, a resident of the home saw three men running from the residence and get into the SUV.

He also noted there was a small fi re in the vehicle as it drove off .

It crashed into a fence and cedar hedge and continued to burn.

Th ere has been no reports of any injuries.

Police say the investigation is still in the very early stages as offi cers try to determine the exact circumstanc-es and possible motive behind this incident.

Assume your kid will crash their car when you buy one for them. And focus on crash test ratings and airbags. Even going 60km/h, a head on crash is go-ing to be bad. In a poorly built car, it will be worse. Before you spend money on your kid’s fi rst car, you should look at the videos for some of the used ones that have been head crashed by the NHTSA in the United States.

You should also avoid anything without an airbag. I have many ICBC cases involving head strikes. These cases are typically much worse where there is no airbag in the car to slow your head from hitting the wheel or window. John M. Green | Lawyer

TRACY HOLMES

A proposal to build 16 duplex units across the street from homes on acreage in Grandview Heights was denied third reading at Surrey City Hall last week.

But residents who oppose the project stopped well short of calling the move a victory, saying the message from council is that duplexes on the site will still be the end result.

“We might as well not even showed up,” said Gary Cameron, of the July 27 decision regarding Tara Developments’ application for the 16600-block of 26 Avenue. “Th ere was no indication (council) heard anything we said about the development.”

Tara Developments has applied to build 16 semi-detached units and one single-family home on approximately two acres.

Th e application received fi rst and second reading on July 13, despite a planning report recom-mending council refer the project back to staff and the applicant “for further dialogue with area

residents to address outstanding issues.”

Th ose issues include residents not wanting high density in the area. Th ey want development that is more consistent with what al-ready exists: single-family homes, and sensitive transitions that protect the neighbourhood from encroaching urbanization.

Following a public hearing July 27, council voted 5-3 against giv-ing the application third reading, then, on a motion from Coun. Dave Woods, voted to refer it back to staff .

Cameron – who helped collect more than 350 signatures in a week on a petition against the application – said the message he heard from council Monday is that a similar project will ulti-mately proceed.

“Th ey were basically saying the will of council is, ‘we’re going to keep high-density duplexes’,” he said.

“It’s been sent back. But we’ve been told it’s going to be roughly the same development no matter what. It wasn’t a resounding victory by any means.”

Residents told council the developer has refused to consider their concerns, which include that the project does not fi t with the character of the large-lot neigh-bourhood. Other developers have

been much more receptive to compromises, they said.

Th at point was reiterated a number of times during Monday’s public hearing, prior to the votes.

Architect Mark Ankenman, however, noted the project falls within the guidelines of the Neighbourhood Concept Plan (NCP), completed in 2012.

“If there’s a range of opportuni-ties in the NCP that the neigh-bourhood doesn’t want, then that range of opportunities shouldn’t be in the NCP,” he said.

Ankenman told council he regrets getting to this point in the process without an agreement with neighbours.

In voicing opposition to third reading, Coun. Judy Villeneuve noted the residents’ interest for more dialogue. Th e petition, she added, is “something that we need to listen to.”

“I hope if it’s referred back to planning, then somebody will move,” she said. “I do believe that a sensitive interface is import-ant… and this project just isn’t there yet.”

Mayor Linda Hepner, noting her support for the project, described it as a good compromise that will provide more options for people who want to live in properties that look like large estate homes but can’t aff ord to.

▶ COUNCIL SENDS PROPOSAL FOR SEMI-DETACHED UNITS IN SOUTH SURREY BACK TO STAFF

Development opponents say rejection short-lived

Some neighbours expressed skepticism as to whether the owner will comply with the court order. Th ey say they’ll wait and see.

Meanwhile, they continue to live in fear and describe themselves as being prisoners in their own homes.

In the recent days, there have been brazen daylight robberies at several homes in the neighbourhood.

Th e city and residents have long been frustrated the situation is indirectly funded by the province, which sends the housing portion of the residents’ social assistance cheques directly to the homeowners.

Conditions in the homes are dangerous, nearby residents say.

In one house, power and cable have been fed into a garage where people are living, and people pitch tents on the lawn.

Th ere are also padlocks on the outside of doors, making the houses a potential deadly fi re trap, witnesses say.

Th e court ordered that the city may enter the Hansen Road property on Aug. 4 to remove the padlocks.

Izaz said he will fi le for an appeal immediately and take the case to the highest court in the country if necessary.

“Even if I lose this appeal, I will go to Canada’s Su-preme Court, the highest court. If not, then God will punish them,” Izaz said. “If human beings are not allowed to help human beings, then who is allowed to help?”

Imagine being in a confi ned space for months on end, with little contact or communication. Earlier this year, a lawsuit was initiated against the federal government regarding its segregation, or solitary confi nement, policies in prisons.

According to the B.C. Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA), “solitary confi ne-ment… is the practice of confi ning a prisoner to a cell and depriving him or her of meaningful human contact for up to 23 hours a day, sometimes for months and years at a time.”

Th e current form of solitary confi ne-ment which exists in our prisons is not eff ective or ethical. In fact, many pris-oners facing mental health illnesses are simply placed in solitary confi nement, which does not help alleviate their illness.

Solitary confi nement should not be

used in lieu of addressing underlying health problems.

Th e BCCLA notes a form of confi ne-ment, “administrative segregation,” for instance, lacks adequate accountability, as prisoners do not receive a “hearing be-fore an independent body” and prisoners may be left in solitary for indefi nite time periods.

Th e government should take into con-sideration the calls for action from nu-merous individuals and organizations on this issue. Prison reform needs to be on the agenda in this year’s election debate, because this issue is linked to crime, poverty, equality, mental health and community safety.

Greater political discussion on prison reform would help highlight the signif-icance of this issue, bring change to the

system, and encourage greater political will to remedy the problems that exist. Greater action needs to be taken.

Howard Sapers, Canada’s Correctional Investigator, has also called for changes to the current system of dealing with prisoners. Th e Offi ce of the Correc-tional Investigator notes that solitary confi nement is used excessively. Sapers would like to see the government re-strict initial administrative segregation to 30 days, implement “judicial over-sight,” and stop such segregation from being used on prisoners of a certain age and those who are mentally ill.

In 2012, the UN Committee Against Torture also urged Canada to make changes to its treatment of prisoners,

including limitations on time spent in solitary confi nement.

We need to have a greater conver-sation on bringing changes to our prison system. Th e Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrad-ing Treatment or Punishment should be ratifi ed by Canada to ensure that human rights are being respected. It would add an additional layer of accountability to the prison system.

Canada should not hesitate to join a treaty that has already been ratifi ed by 79 countries from around the world.

Prison reform is an election issue

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:

Last week we asked:

Have you already decided which federal party you will be voting for this coming election?

To answer, go to the home page of our website atsurreyleader.com

Do you remember visiting Santa Claus (aka Percy Hayes) at Guildford Town Centre?Here’s how you responded:

Yes 70% No 30%

Peter Fassbender ran for the B.C. Liberals in 2013 because he wanted to get things done. He believed the party could win an election that pollsters and most members of the public thought would be a cakewalk for the NDP.

He was right. He won his Sur-rey-Fleetwood seat, which had been held by the NDP’s Jagrup Brar, by 200 votes – with that narrow margin of victory likely due to an intensive door-knock-ing eff ort in the fi nal weeks of the campaign. He talked with voters about jobs, growth and issues that mattered to them.

He served as mayor of Langley City for eight years until his election as an MLA. During that time, he served for a period as chair of the Mayors’ Council - which has limited oversight powers over TransLink.

Fassbender has long believed in a long-term vision for transpor-tation in the Lower Mainland, one which would see the prov-ince, TransLink and municipali-ties co-ordinating their planning eff orts.

He is now in an ideal position to help bring that vision to frui-tion as the community, sport and cultural development minister in charge of TransLink.

TransLink is not broken. It actually does a pretty good job of operating rapid transit, buses, roads and bridges. It is short of funds to take on ambitious new

projects, and the recent defeat of a plebiscite to add 0.5 per cent to the sales tax to give it more funds has focused a great deal of attention on it.

TransLink has not been accountable to taxpayers. Its private board has closed meet-ings. It has other subsidiaries with their own private boards. Directors pay themselves hand-somely and they pay top staff handsomely as well. Mayors have minimal oversight powers, yet under the TransLink legislation, they are the only elected offi cials with responsibility for the tax dollars it collects – other than the provincial minister in charge.

It also needs to do a better job of communicating with its cus-tomers, particularly when there are major breakdowns and dis-ruptions, such as when SkyTrain is shut down for hours.

Fassbender has seen the orga-nization from a mayor’s perspec-tive and now he will see it from a provincial perspective. As a Surrey MLA and former Langley City mayor, he also knows the critical need to expand TransLink services in the fast-growing South Fraser region.

Knowing all these perspectives well is a huge benefi t. He has promised there will be signifi cant changes by the end of the year, and has called on the board to

suspend its search for a new CEO until the future direction has been made plain.

Hopefully, long-term planning will be co-ordinated so that plans for a Deas Island bridge, more universal (and lower-priced) tolling, new rapid transit projects and bus service expansion are all considered at the same time, and not by diff erent government agencies ensconced in their silos. After all, there is only one taxpayer.

Fassbender was given the edu-cation minister’s job when elect-ed. His mandate there was to reach a bargained contract with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. It was a tough task but he hung in there, and to his credit (and the BCTF’s), they managed to reach a contract at the bargaining table – a rarity in B.C. education labour relations.

Th at won him a lot of credibili-ty with his boss, Premier Christy Clark. Now he has a new task.

Th is new challenge won’t be easy. Some of the mayors won’t be happy that he will be oversee-ing TransLink. But he will ensure that the organization adopts the kind of change it needs to go forward and he will not sidestep accountability.

It has been announced that tolls will be raised on the Port Mann Bridge by 15 cents per crossing starting Aug. 15. Th ey confer that is because of bridge building, oper-ating and maintenance costs, but it makes me wonder.

Transportation Invest-ment Corp. claims the tolls are not being raised to make a profi t, but is this increase really be-cause of salary increases for TI Corp. executives?

I would like to know how much money really goes to ongoing bridge maintenance versus executive pay mainte-

nance. I would like to see a list of executive salaries published for this corporation. And I want to see a breakdown of the costs to maintain the bridge and all the salaries of the employees

in the company.I think it would be fair

for the paying public to see the truth, rather than a blurb released from TI Corp. that more money is needed with no real explanation oth-

er than bridge mainte-nance costs.

Th e paying public wants accountability. Show us the facts.

While walking my dog in Robson Park I couldn’t help but scratch my head.

After the resident beaver cut trees for his dams and new growth had started coming back, the city cut down most of what was left and planted more trees.

Granted they are diff erent trees, but to me it seems a total waste of tax dollars to cut trees only to replace them with more trees, even if they are diff erent ones.

Regional politicians tussled last Friday over whether Metro Vancouver board directors or the Mayors’ Council should set transportation policy if TransLink is reformed yet again.

Some directors argued the mayors’ decisions on how to lead the plebiscite “yes” campaign led directly to the de-feat of a new sales tax to fund transit, and suggested they resign as a result.

“Th e Mayors’ Council is responsible for the ‘no’ vote in a large way, and a lot of it was the robocalls and the millions of dollars spent,” Richmond Coun. Harold Steves said at the July 31 Metro board meeting. “In the public mind, the best thing they could do is resign.”

Th e Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation was created in the prov-ince’s 2007 reorganization of TransLink when elected offi cials were turfed off the board and replaced with unelected profession-al directors. Mayors were stripped of any real power over TransLink and left mainly with decisions on whether to approve tax hikes.

“Th e public clearly wants a change in how transit is done in the region and I’m not quite sure that the public has huge confi dence in the Mayors’ Council to eff ect that change,” added West Vancouver Mayor Mike Smith, who supports the Metro board and staff taking on any future transportation oversight role, as well spearheading the region’s position on TransLink reform.

Smith was one of three mayors who voted against holding the plebiscite in the fi rst place and also said the robocalling of residents to push yes messaging backfi red.

“It just irritated the public and the result of the referendum speaks for

itself,” Smith said, who said the no vote was also a backlash to mayors spending more than $6 million to “tell people how to vote.”

Th e Mayors’ Council, meanwhile, has already threatened to quit its role in the governance of TransLink unless the province grants them more control and a new funding source to resolve the im-passe that has followed the plebiscite defeat by the end of this year.

Th at’s one reason why an urgent push is now on for the Metro regional district to potentially take on a major transportation planning role, which would mesh well with its responsibility for regional land use planning.

Supporters of the shift say transpor-tation policy could be another arm of

the well-staff ed regional government, alongside its water and sewer utility functions.

For now, the Metro board has agreed to work jointly with the Mayors’ Council in determining what new governance reforms to propose to the province.

Some directors – includ-ing White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin – praised the premier’s naming of new communities minister Peter Fassbend-

er, MLA for Surrey-Fleetwood and a former Langley City mayor who once chaired the Mayors’ Council, to oversee TransLink, adding he expects a “genu-ine eff ort” at reform.

But Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan called it another rotation of ministers by the province that typically has come with promises of greater understand-ing for cities’ concerns – followed by another shuffl e.

“Th e way they change and pop up it’s a little bit like playing whack-a mole,” he said.

Corrigan predicted a showdown is imminent with the province for ulti-mate control over TransLink, adding the current system is dysfunctional.

“We’ve got to make a decision and tell the provincial government, ‘Either you run TransLink or we run TransLink’.”

Communities Minister Peter Fassbender is urg-ing TransLink to pause its search for a new permanent CEO while mayors, the board and the province consider possible governance reforms.

Th e suggestion from Fassbender, the newly appointed minister re-sponsible for TransLink, may ease concerns from Metro Vancouver may-ors about the pay and bonus provisions for the next CEO after an online posting by TransLink off ered the same com-pensation package as the old CEO.

“It’s not just about the compensation issue,” Fassbender said.

“Any person worth their salt is going to want to know clearly what their terms of reference are, what are

their responsibilities and whose responsible to whom.”

He said he wants may-ors, the board and the province to meet as soon as possible about possi-ble changes and “have that hard discussion before any suggestion is made about a new CEO.”

Fassbender also said he intends to quickly appoint two directors to the TransLink board to represent the province, joining the two mayors who sit on the board as had been anticipated in the previous governance changes.

Th e defeat of this year’s plebiscite on a 0.5-per-cent sales tax hike for TransLink has spawned some accusa-tions that the outcome puts mayors in exactly the box the premier wants – able only to raise TransLink property tax-

es but not tap any other new revenue source.

“Th e mayors will only be in a box if they put themselves there,” Fass-bender responded, add-ing he wants to explore all potential options to increase transit funding.

Fassbender said road pricing – which mayors want to study – deserves a “serious and concerted look” to determine how and when it might work.

“I think it has po-tential here but it’s not going to happen overnight,” he said. “In the meantime, how do we continue to build a system that needs expansion and provide more buses and more services for underser-viced regions?”

A delay in the hiring of a new CEO would also allow more time for mayors and the board to come to agreement on new lower limits for executive compensation – mayors feared a new

CEO would be hired at the old rates otherwise.

“It makes absolute sense,” said Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew.

“Th e governance model that the province has provided is nothing short of a gong show,” Drew said.

As for how much a new CEO should be paid, Drew suggested it be in the $250,000 to $300,000 range, but without bonuses.

Th at would be ap-proximately what many provincial government deputy ministers are paid to run complex ministries, but not as much as a number of other public sector executives.

Former TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis, who was replaced in February but continues at the same pay as a consultant until his contract runs out, receives a base salary of $319,244. Bonuses, pen-sion and other benefi ts

took his total compen-sation to $440,000 last year.

Ahoy mateys! On Wednesday, Aug. 12, buccaneers both young and young-at-heart can re-live childhood memories by ordering an Adult Pirate Pak at White Spot restaurants throughout B.C.

For the sixth consecutive year, a toonie from the sale of every Pirate Pak will be donated to Zajac Ranch for Children, a local charity that provides kids and young adults with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities a unique summer camp experience.

 Pirate Pak Day has become an

annual tradition that has raised a total of $347,172 since its incep-tion and sent more than 200 indi-viduals to camp. White Spot Week at Zajac Ranch runs from Aug. 17 to 21 in Mission and includes activities ranging from kayaking and climbing to swimming and horseback riding.

“White Spot has become inte-gral in our ability to enrich the lives of kids who need support,” said Mel Zajac, founder of Zajac

Ranch for Children. “Community initiatives like Pirate Pak Day help us off er illness-specifi c camps that put smiles of the faces of these kids. For instance, many of our campers get to ride a horse for the fi rst time in their life.”

On Aug. 12 only, Adult Pirate Paks will be available, for dine-in or take-out, in four options: Legendary Burger; BC Chicken Burger; Bacon Cheddar Bigger Burger; and Portobello Provolone Veggie Burger

 Each comes in the Pirate Pak boat, with a bounty of fries, cole-slaw, soft drink, ice cream and of course, the chocolate “gold” coin.

In Surrey and North Delta, there are fi ve White Spot loca-tions: 15157 Hwy. 10; 15877 Croydon Dr.; 10181 152 St.; 13580 102 Ave.; and 7207 120 St.

Another week, and we are told that there is a Fiat-Chrysler precedent-setting re-call announcement: the highest pen-

alty yet imposed by the US National Highway Traffi c Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) on a car manufacturer for mishandling recalls. In 2014, General Motors paid $35 million for failing to notify regulators in a timely manner and failing for a decade to recall about 2.6 mil-lion small cars with faulty ignition switches linked to at least 124 deaths. At the end of that same year, Honda Motor Co. was fi ned $70 million for lapses in reporting possible safety problems with its Takata airbags.

Fiat-Chrysler has now allegedly topped these with its $105 million fi ne plus other unprec-edented penalties imposed via a consent order. Th ese include submission to an audit by an independent monitor of the company’s recall processes for up to four years, and the obligation to repurchase many pickup and heavy-duty trucks and sport-utility vehicles, model years 2008 to 2012, for loss of vehicle control caused by suspension problems.

In the consent order, Fiat-Chrysler report-edly acknowledged lapses relating to the completion of 23 recalls aff ecting more than 11 million vehicles including older Jeeps with gas tanks mounted in the rear crumple zone linked to more than 50 deaths from gas tank explosions following rear end collisions. Wire service reports note that it is unclear how the total fi ne breaks down in relation to each of the 23 recalls under investigation. Th ey note, however, that the NHTSA is authorized to im-pose a maximum fi ne of $35 million for a sin-gle recall not completed in a timely manner.

Th e so-called ‘fi x’ for the aff ected Jeeps is the installation of trailer hitches to mitigate the impact of rear-end collisions but government investigators have criticized the rate of these repairs as “slow and sporadic.” In general the reports say the transgressions are threefold: “misleading and obstructing regulators; inad-equate and lagging repairs; and failing to alert car owners to recalls in a timely manner.” One report says that $15 million of the total fi ne is a deferred penalty payable if the terms of the consent order are violated going forward.

Fiat-Chrysler’s troubles may not end with this fi ne, however. In a law suit in Georgia brought by the parents of a 4-year-old boy killed in a “fi ery rear-end Jeep crash” in which the jury initially awarded $150 million in damages, although the award was reduced to $40 mil-lion, the company’s request for a new trial was denied. An appeal of this ruling remains a possibility.

News reports suggest that Mr. Sergio Mar-chionne, the CEO of Fiat-Chrysler is openly seeking a merger based on his belief that, in general, the auto industry must consolidate to meet the challenges of electric and autono-mous (self-driving) vehicle development and compliance with increasingly stringent envi-ronmental standards.

And it’s time for Fiat-Chrysler, General Mo-tors and Ford to negotiate a new four-year labour contract with the 140,000 member-strong United Auto Workers Union. Industry commentators say that Fiat-Chrysler faces the toughest challenge of the three, because, while having added thousands of jobs during the last four years, its workers received less in profi t-sharing bonuses than their counter-parts at Ford and GM.

We should remember that building cars has never been an easy business. How many hundreds of automobile manufacturers start-ed in the early 20th century and how many are still surviving?

TRACY HOLMES

The North Shore mountains created a majes-tic backdrop for a colourful legacy project that unfolded along a fence in a corner of Blackie Spit Park last week.

“It turned out really well,” said JP Hervieux, co-leader of the Salmon Habitat Restoration Program (SHaRP) Watershed Enhancement Team that installed approximately 70 painted wooden fish in the “Stream of Dreams”-style mural.

The project, done with the Stream of Dreams Society, was to mark SHaRP’s 20th year of pro-tecting and enhancing fish habitats in the city.

Employing high school students for the sum-mer – and post-secondary students as team leaders – SHaRP crews’ efforts also include invasive plant removal, riparian planting and

water-quality testing.Since its creation in 1996, more than 540

students have been a part of the program.Hervieux said the wooden fish that now

grace the Blackie Spit fence in Crescent Beach – near the Maple Drainage Pump Station – were painted during a reunion event about two weeks ago, when 170 SHaRP alumni gath-ered to reminisce.

He noted the mural project is half of the legacy effort. The other is further north, near the Scott Road SkyTrain station, where an area was cleared of blackberry bushes and replanted.

On Thursday, the team also placed “woody debris” in a site immediately east of the fish mural in Blackie Spit, in preparation for fall planting. Hervieux said the logs would help bring moisture into the area.

And the day before, they worked with Ducks Unlimited to remove invasive spartina from the Nicomekl estuary.

The Delta Heat ‘97 have aced the first test at the U18 Wom-en’s Canadian Fast Pitch Championship.

Winners of the B.C. championship July 26-28 in North Delta, the Heat topped the field after the first round of the 21-team national tournament in Montreal.

A year ago at the nationals in Saska-toon, Heat ‘97 placed second after losing the championship game 7-5 to the Delta Heat ‘96.

The Heat ‘97 need-ed just five innings to win their first game of the tournament Sunday morning, blanking the Nova Scotia U18 side 12-0. Taylor Woodward, Si-erra Sherritt, Michae-la Moore and Janey Thomas paced Delta with five hits each. Sherritt had five RBIs (runs batted in).

Jesse Goddard was the winning pitcher, allowing just one hit while striking out five batters in two innings.

Delta win their second game of the tournament Mon-day morning with a 16-0 triumph over the Pickering Heat of Ontario. The Heat rocked Pickering pitching for 16 hits, including a perfect four-for-four effort from Woodward, and three-for-three games from Moore and Samuelson. Maria Palmegiani was a per-fect two-for-two with three RBIs. Lauren Watson also had a pair of hits, driving

in four runs.Goddard pitched

three innings for the win, collecting four strikeouts. She and Palmer combined for a no-hitter, with Palmer stricken gout two of the three bat-ters she faced in the fourth inning.

The Heat needed the regulation seven innings in a 9-1 victo-ry Monday afternoon over the Prince Albert Astros. Leading 4-1 after four innings, Delta put the game well out of reach with a run in the sixth inning and four more

in the seventh.Woodward and

Laura Baldry paced the Heat offense with three hits each, accounting for half of Delta’s 12 hits in the game. Watson and Rae Samuelson had two hits each, with Moore, Samuelson and Baldry collecting a pair of RBIs each.

Goddard picked up her third win of the tournament, allowing just two hits in seven innings pitched. The lone run allowed was

WHAT IS INVISALIGN TEEN? Invisalign Teen is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teen’s

teeth without the restrictions that come with metal braces. Rather than wires and brackets,

Invisalign® uses a series of clear, removable aligners that have been custom-made for your teen’s teeth. Your teen simply wears them over

their teeth and changes them out for a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks. Little by little, your teen’s teeth gradually shift into place,

achieving that confi dent smile.

IS INVISALIGN AS EFFECTIVE AS TRADITIONAL BRACES? It can be when worn according to the recommendations of

an experienced Invisalign-trained orthodontist. Invisalign Teen can be as effective as traditional braces for the most common teeth-straightening

issues. Invisalign can effectively treat mild to severe cases, including underbite, overbite, overcrowding and gaps between teeth. The

chances are very high your teen will be a great candidate for Invisalign. To fi nd out for sure,

contact our certifi ed Invisalign Teen orthodontist offi ce and come in for a consultation.

HOW LONG DOES INVISALIGN TEEN

TREATMENT TAKE? The average treatment time is about the same as with traditional braces,

but the actual length of your teen’s treatment depends on the severity of their condition and can only be determined by your orthodontist.

unearned. Goddard struck out six batters without giving up a walk.

For the third time in four games, the Heat used the mercy

rule to end a game early, thumping the host Quebec Rebelles 14-0 in five innings.

Goddard was near-perfect, strik-ing out nine batters in four innings and not allowing a walk or a hit. Only a Delta

fi elding error allowed a Rebelles runner on base, and she never advanced beyond fi rst.

Goddard finished the first stage of the tournament with a 4-0 won-loss record without giving up an earned run or a walk, striking out 24 batters. She allowed just three hits in 16 innings pitched.

Megan Palmer pitched the fifth in-ning in relief, striking out the three batters she faced.

Moore with three hits, Watson, Baldry and Samuelson with two each were the leading batters. Wat-son also scored three runs, while Samuel-son was credited with three RBIs.

The Heat moved on to the second round, placed in a four-team group for a round robin. The top two advance to the eight-team double knock-out playoff.

Also in the second round in Montreal are the Surrey Storm ‘98, the bronze med-alists at the provin-cial tournament. The Surrey side has won two of four games.

Storm ‘98 struggled in their first game Sunday against the Alberta-champion Calgary Kaizen, falling 11-0 in five in-nings. Demi Rose and Taylore Jones singled to account for the only two hits from the Surrey side.

The Storm recov-ered Monday after-noon for a 7-3 victory over the Winnipeg Lightning.

Brooke Derkson was three-for-four with an RBI and a run scored for Surrey, with Noelle Johnson adding a pair of hits. Jessica Fasolino was the winning pitcher, allowing three un-earned runs on three hits. She had nine strikeouts and didn’t allow a walk.

Fasolino collect-ed another com-plete-game victory Tuesday morning, throwing a two-hit shutout as the Storm edged the Brampton Blazers 1-0. Fasoli-no allowed just two singles, didn’t give up a walk and fanned 10 Brampton batters.

The Storm made the most of just five hits, getting three of them in the bottom of the seventh to score the game-winning run. Singles from Emily Manhao, Derkson and Emily Chorpita led to the game’s only run.
