Aquatics groups say their advice was sought and ignored, as city process comes to a close

Flight of fancy

When it comes to re-jigging plans for the proposed Grandview Heights aquatic centre, the City of Surrey has been asking for suggestions. But what members of the aquatic community want to know is, are they actually being heard?

Local user groups of swimmers and divers – amateurs and world champions among them – have formed a unified group to present to the city their concerns that the 50-metre pool proposed for Grandview Heights will be too small to host all the groups wishing to use it, and will not be sufficiently large enough to host national or international meets.

Since November, the group has been corresponding with city staff members and councillors, in an attempt to sway the city into building something larger. They appeared as a delegation during a parks committee meeting last week. “They have all these open houses where they ask people to come and talk, but nobody seems to really be listening,” said

Aart Looye, a masters swimmer who is heading up the groups’ combined effort. “It was a pretty frosty reception. They’ve got their minds made up already.” White Rock Divers founder Bev Boys – a three-time Olympian – echoed Looye’s statement, saying “they just don’t learn, it’s very frustrating. see page A4

The past weekend’s clear skies provided the perfect backdrop for the pilot of an ultralight airplane, who blew in to Crescent Beach last Saturday afternoon. The propeller-driven, single-passenger plane landed just off of Blackie Spit Park, sitting on the water for a few moments before revving its engine and demonstrating some fly-bys. The light-weight plane then made a quick escape towards the west to continue its flight before the clouds rolled in to cover the sun.

U.S. road trip by Canadian councillors to lobby for passenger-train stop in Blaine

They think they can, they think they can… Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

The campaign to save an old passenger-train station in Blaine, Wash. gained a little steam this week, thanks in part to visiting Canadians. Councillors from Surrey and White Rock crossed the U.S. border to back a plan that would revive the station as a stop on the Vancouverto-Seattle Amtrak service.

BNSF Railway, owner of the border town’s dilapidated station, has applied for permission to demolish the century-old wooden building – located just south of the Peace Arch – but the City of Blaine has delayed a final decision on the teardown to allow time for a review of its historical significance. At a Monday night meeting of Blaine council, Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt and White Rock Coun.

Grant Meyer told their U.S. counterparts that a reopened passengertrain station could draw on a potentially huge customer base from their cities, in addition to neighbouring Delta and both Langleys. Currently, local residents who want to board the southbound Cascades run must head north to Vancouver’s Pacific Central Station. “We have 870,000 people lying on the other side of the border, who

right now have to spend an hour to go into Vancouver and then take an hour to come back out on the train, wasting two hours,” Hunt said. Meyer, who has fought unsuccessfully for an Amtrak stop in his community, said the U.S. option would be a logical substitute. “I think it can be the stop that we wanted in White Rock, but due to customs issues and parking issues see page A4

news ‘Teach only’ strategy in place, but supervision duties return

Teachers contemplate further job action Sheila Reynolds Black Press

As Surrey students headed back to school this week after a two-week break, things were not entirely back to normal for teachers, who continue to protest provincial legislation passed this month. While Bill 22 put an end to strike action by members of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF), the union has scheduled a vote April 17-18 to decide whether teachers will engage in a new plan that includes withholding all involvement in extracurricular activities. Until then, a “teach only” strategy is in place where teachers are

encouraged to limit their volunteer work and not start any new extracurricular activities. Teachers are also asked not to help with school assemblies or “actively participate” in meetings called by principals. “The emphasis will be on teaching and doing only what is necessary for teaching (planning, preparing, marking and so on),” reads a Surrey Teachers’ Association (STA) memo. However, job action that began last fall won’t continue, meaning teachers will resume supervision duties at lunchtime and after school. Term 1 and 2 report cards that were sent home blank will not be re-issued, but teachers will be

Denise Moffatt called the process Bill 22 extends the current teacher a “sham” because the mediator’s contract terms until the end of scope has been so severely limited.

new law makes things worse for students, with provisions such as the removal of limits on the number of special-needs students who can be in one classroom (three is the current maximum). There is also a new teacher evaluation and selection process which is expected to be controversial. The legislation gives the government the authority to impose huge fines – $1.3 million a day for the union or $475 per day for individual teachers – if teachers strike during the cooling-off period. For an illegal strike to proceed, a second vote by BCTF members would have to be held.

Travellers assaulted by customs official

Ex-border guard’s conviction upheld Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The appeal of a former South Surrey border guard who was convicted last year of sexual assault and breach of trust was denied Wednesday in the B.C. Court of Appeal in Vancouver. Daniel Johnson Greenhalgh, who worked at the Douglas (Peace Arch) border, was disputing his convictions and sentence, including a two-year provincial jail term, imposed a year ago in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. Justices Elizabeth Bennett, P.D. Lowry and Anne MacKenzie denied the convictions appeal after a short hearing Wednesday morning, ruling the trial judge did not err in considering the testimony of four witnesses as similar-fact evidence. A date for the sentencing appeal has not been set. The penalty was imposed last March after a jury found Greenhalgh guilty of three counts of sexual assault and one count of breach of public trust, following a trial in which three women testified he touched them inappropriately during strip searches he conducted. A fourth woman said she was made

to strip, but was not touched. The incidents occurred in 2007 while Greenhalgh was on duty, and involved victims aged 19 to 30. Wednesday, Greenhalgh’s lawyer Derek Birch argued that all four women’s evidence was considered as similar-fact “resulted in an unfairness to Mr. Greenhalgh in the trial process.” He noted one witness was impeached at trial, after conceding she hadn’t been truthful regarding discussing her evidence with a friend, who was also a witness. Crown Susan Brown said the judge “thoroughly” addressed the issues. In oral reasons for judgment, Bennett noted the trial judge found the evidence of all four women “reasonably capable of belief.” He found no motivation for the women to fabricate their evidence and determined it was unlikely the stories were concocted, she said. Greenhalgh’s father was in court for the hearing. Asked about the ruling, he declined to comment. Daniel Greenhalgh has served about nine months of his sentence. Released on bail in December, he was remanded Wednesday morning, and will remain in custody pending his sentencing appeal.

MLAs voice support for Clark in wake of defection Tom Fletcher & Alex Browne Black Press

Premier Christy Clark says she isn’t expecting any more resignations from the BC Liberal caucus after Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen’s abrupt jump to the BC Conservatives this week. And other BC Liberal MLAs canvassed in the wake of van Dongen’s resignation – including Surrey-Cloverdale’s Kevin Falcon (Minister of Finance), Surrey-Panorama’s Stephanie Cadieux (Minister of Social Development) and Surrey-White Rock’s Gordon Hogg (Caucus Chair) – are unanimous in supporting the government and characterizing his defection as an individual decision that does not point to a shaky caucus. Asked about van Dongen’s parting shots in

the legislature Monday – including criticism over the handling of the lawsuit over the sale of BC Rail – Falcon acknowledged he and “every single” MLA in caucus had been “appalled” by the decision to pay $6 million in legal fees for former government staffers Dave Basi and Bobby Virk after they pleaded guilty to breach of trust, but maintained it wasn’t a government decision. Van Dongen, saying he was concerned about the integrity of the government, cited the recent collapse of negotiations to sell naming rights to BC Place stadium to Telus Corp. “There have been other lapses in proper accountability and I expect more to come,” van Dongen said during question period. Clark said her priority is to keep the BC Liberal coalition together for the next election.

“The only thing I would say about John (van Dongen) is, he’s making it easier for (NDP Leader) Adrian Dix to become premier,” Clark said at a press conference Tuesday. In interviews with Peace Arch News this week, Falcon, Cadieux and Hogg shared a consistent message and much of the same language. There are always differences in any coalition, they said, but ultimately individuals have to seek common ground for the greater good of the province. Falcon and Cadieux both described van Dongen’s parting shots at the party as “disappointing,” and their comments agreed with Hogg’s description of the BC Liberals as “the only viable free-enterprise coalition to win the next election.”

“Today I’m moving forward on my job,” Cadieux said. “We have a lot of very important work to do… and I’m focused on that.” All three said that while they disagree with van Dongen’s characterization of events, they acknowledge he had every right to do what he did. “In my role as caucus chair, I talked at length with John, and I know he struggled with some of the challenges of being in government,” said Hogg. “I’m not happy to see him go, but I understand his decision and respect his decision.” Both Hogg and Falcon said they felt van Dongen has had ample opportunity to ask questions and receive a full explanation in caucus on both the Basi-Virk legal fee and BC Place naming rights issues.

‘Rush to judgment’ feared by users from page A1 “But that’s the government for you. It’s called placating.” Boys – an international diving judge – noted she was unable to attend last week, as she was training Peninsula divers in Victoria. Monday, Coun. Tom Gill – chair of the city’s finance committee who also chaired last week’s parks meeting – confirmed the consultation process “is nearing an end,” and said construction is slated to begin next year. Gill said many of the delegation’s concerns would be addressed in a second phase, with the creation of additional pool space. “Phase 2 will happen – the question is when? It may be five years, 10 years… (but) there is no question that this pool can accommodate competitions.” Gill reiterated the city’s stance that two pools – one in Grandview, another in Guildford – would best suit Surrey’s needs. “There is no question in my

mind that building two 50-metre pools is the right thing to do,” he said. “The delegation’s position is that further enhancement is needed for Phase 1 of the project.” Gill noted that in the meantime, temporary pools – if needed – could be set up in the parking lot for larger competitions. Members of last week’s delegation suggested downsizing the Guildford project in order to finance a larger pool in Grandview, but Gill said he does not believe in “taking from one side to give to the other.” Gill said the Grandview pool is estimated to cost about $53 million, while the Guildford centre is budgeted for $41-42 million. He noted the budget is not the “overriding issue” behind the decision to go with a 50-m pool, but added “we are of the opinion that by (adding) extra capacity, the budget is significant.” “These pools are very expensive,

and I don’t believe any municipality has ever built two pools at once in the same building,” he said. “Pools have generally been money-losers for municipalities.” Asked if any input from the public-consultation process was of use, Gill said “there was a significant amount of knowledge brought to staff.” Olympian Brittany Reimer (’04) was dismayed the city did not seem to consider the advice of her group, which includes synchronized swimmer Janice Birch, an Olympic silver medalist (’96). “I definitely felt that vibe when I was there,” Reimer said. “And it’s too bad, because growing up in Surrey, I felt so much support from the community… a (bigger) facility is valuable for everyone. “There’s no reason to close the door on us – let’s just take a step back and figure out what we need to do, and how we’ll get there. They shouldn’t rush to a final decision – let’s talk a bit more.”

Blaine councillors were a receptive audience.

“It’s not often that I’ve seen council members applauding a delegation,” Hunt observed. “It seemed to be a very positive response.” Blaine council member Bonnie Onyon said the city should lobby Washington State Gov. Christine Gregoire to amend the regional transportation plan by adding a Blaine train stop. Blaine businessman Bill Becht – one of the people campaigning to save the station – said it is still an uphill battle but added that he is more optimistic following this week’s meeting.

Lingerie Football League hold tryouts in Richmond

Surrey women make first cut Martin van den Hemel Black Press

Surrey residents Alessa Garcia and Emilija Martic were among 11 women to make the initial cut following last Friday’s Lingerie Football League tryout in Richmond. Nearly two dozen women tried out for a spot on the B.C. Angels – which will be playing out of Abbotsford – and many quickly demonstrated that they were more than just a pretty face. Coquitlam’s Mary Anne Hanson distinguished herself with her strong and accurate throwing arm, Vancouver’s Stephanie

Manou showed off her overall athleticism thanks to her experience as a rugby player, and both Port Moody’s Jeanette Jackson and Surrey’s Martic were among the strongest competitors who weren’t afraid to get physical. Garcia, who has been playing football recreationally for many years, has a versatile repertoire, capable as a quarterback, wide receiver, and defensive back. League founder and commissioner Mitchell Mortaza tweeted following the tryout: “This was the greatest group of athletic women to ever compete at an LFL tryout, ever.”

Mortaza said those who made the cut on Friday are invited to a mini-camp to try out for one of the final 20 roster positions. The B.C. Angels will make their debut on Saturday, Aug. 25 against the Regina Rage. While the athletes won’t be paid, Mortaza hyped up how they’ll instead receive plenty of profile and media attention. Also among the 11 who made Friday’s cut were: Vancouver’s Sara Lia Lam, Megan Stewart and Ashley Petrie; North Vancouver’s Kate Marshall; and Coquitlam’s Sara Leibl and Stephanie Fitzgerald.

his week is a turbulent one for Premier Christy Clark. While she will likely hold onto her leadership of the BC Liberal Party and the provincial government, Monday’s defection of Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen to the BC Conservatives is a body blow. Not only did the former solicitor general leave the government caucus and switch parties, he took several shots at Clark’s leadership. In particular, he took issue with her approach to paying the legal fees of two former government staffers in the long-running BC Rail case, and the furor over the naming rights for BC Place. Van Dongen may well have very specific personal reasons for leaving – as his longtime friend Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman indicated, shortly after van Dongen made his announcement in the Legislature – however, it’s also clear he has very specific policy differences with the government. The issues he brought up are issues that many British Columbians wonder about. The BC Rail case, in particular, is a mystery. Clark was at least peripherally involved in the sale of the Crown corporation back in 2003, and definitely had strong ties to several of the central figures. The extent of her involvement in the sale remains unexplained, and denials aren’t the same as actual proof. What adds intrigue to the BC Rail case was the government decision (on Clark’s watch) to pay the legal fees of the two former aides, Dave Basi and Bob Virk, part way through a trial, if they pleaded guilty. This was just as then-finance minister Gary Collins was about to testify. As of yet, the auditor-general has not been able to get to the bottom of why the payments were made, van Dongen points out. Van Dongen – first elected a BC Liberal MLA in a 1995 byelection – has merely stated what many others are thinking. Many are longtime BC Liberal voters, and are seriously pondering how to vote in the next election. They may have doubts about the BC Conservatives, but van Dongen has just given them a good reason to at least take another look. Clark needs to respond in a substantive way to van Dongen’s statement, and not simply fall back on the line that B.C. voters have no choice but to vote for the “coalition.” That line of defence isn’t strong enough to bring voters back to her party. Her party also needs to stop making personal attacks on those who disagree with it.

Last week we asked...

Will NDP Leader Adrian Dix be the next premier of B.C.?

yes 56% no 44% 181 responding Realizing it was almost bedtime, a wave of fear washed over me. If he doesn’t think I’m his wife, and he’s so faithful to her (I did smile to myself at that thought), then where are we going to sleep? Would he try to push me out of bed? I stayed as normal as possible, got into my pajamas and threw my clothes into the laundry basket, as usual. Bill said, “Pauline does all our laundry. She’ll wonder about those clothes in there.” “Oh, I’m sure she’ll be fine with it,” I said. The actual showdown came when I got into bed. He stood in the middle of the room and asked what I was doing. I said I was going to sleep, to which he replied, “but you can’t sleep there. That’s my wife’s place.” Taking a big gamble I said, “I know you don’t understand this, because you have a disease in your brain and you can’t help it, but I am your wife. I am Pauline. If you don’t want to sleep with me, you can go to sleep in the spare room. I don’t plan to give up my bed.” “Oh,” Bill said and came to bed quietly (Phew!) The next day nothing more was said on the subject. I didn’t know who I was that day and I was afraid to ask. Today I’m back to being Pauline. For how long I wonder?

Single slate Voters have brings conflict short memories Editor: Re: Surrey First spent $700,000 for sweep, March 20. I read with interest, but not with any surprise, the list of contributors to the Surrey First’s election campaign. In light of such support, it is small wonder that a truly independent voice has no real chance of being elected against a slate of candidates for one party – a depressing thought in terms of both democracy and also any critical review of the council’s decision-making process. Also, the issue of potential conflict of interest has to be raised, when contractors prove to be such significant donors to the team with ultimate responsibility for planning decisions. For example, when Qualico Developments’ next project comes up for planning approval, the Surrey First slate of councillors should absent themselves from any discussion of, or voting on, the proposal. Of course, if that were to happen, nothing could be decided. I seek only to point out that such funding to a single slate has inherent dangers and leave your readers to draw their own conclusions. Robin Harper, Surrey

Editor: Re: PAN question of the week – Will NDP Leader Adrian Dix be the next premier of B.C.?, March 22-29. I just voted in your latest online survey as to whether or not Adrian Dix will be the next premier. I predict that the result will be heavily in favour of this occurring because all the latest polls seem to indicate that the people in B.C. have a very short memory. During eight years of NDP government, we went from a “have” to a “have not” province, and it took us a long time to get out from under that situation. During the BC Liberal years, we made progress. Bridges are built, roads fixed, there are cranes everywhere you look and none of that was happening under the NDP. There are a lot of things the BC Liberals could do differently but they cannot possibly do worse than what will happen here if we opt for the NDP for the third time. History, they say, repeats itself.

We will be paying a high price for not paying attention to the past. We have already shot ourselves in the foot by voting against the HST for the simple reason that we did not like the way it was brought in. I have friends in Nova Scotia who fell over laughing that we voted against a tax of 12 per cent – later to be 10 per cent – when they, under an NDP government, pay 15 per cent. In life, you get what you deserve. Here’s hoping people will look back a bit before they make their decision. Edie Williams, Surrey

Debt can’t continue Editor: When I see the dispute between the B.C. government and the B.C. teachers, I realize that I must respond in this open letter and encourage all other B.C. cities to respond, just as in a referendum. The real issue here is the province’s net-zero wage increase policy, which has been in effect since 2009. Do you agree with this? Yes? No? I agree with it, at least until

someone comes up with a better policy. B.C. has to balance its budget and get its debt paid off. B.C. cannot continue in debt, and especially in paying debt interest. Interest creates inflation because it requires more and more money to be borrowed to pay this interest. Debt is also bad because it makes the borrower a slave to the lender. Right now, the whole planet is in stagnation because many people realize something is wrong, and that even low interest rates do not cut it. We need to have a whole new money system in Canada where money is not created into existence as an interest bearing debt by the private banks of Canada but rather is created into existence by the public central Bank of Canada (BOC), interest free and debt free as dividends to Canadians and interest free and debt free for the production of necessary public goods and services. The BOC gives its profits to the GOC, while private banks do not. The amount of money created into existence must be done by calculation in relation to the production of goods and services so that there is no inflation or deflation. Albert Opstad, Surrey

Famous Five undervalued Editor: With the announcement Monday of the new plastic Canadian $50 bill, we find out that the pictures of the Famous Five – the five women who asked the Supreme Court in 1927 if the word ‘persons’ in the BNA Act included females – and of Therese Casgrain, as well as the quote from the UN International Declaration of Human Rights, will no longer appear on the back of the bill. It would seem this government has found a way to make women and human rights vanish from the economy and tossed aside our symbols. The cumulative cuts and changes by this government continue to undermine women’s gains and girls’ futures. The replacement is honouring the icebreaker, CCGS Amundsen, which is named after a northern explorer. And no, Roald Amundsen was not a woman nor Canadian – not that I have anything against Norwegians, as an immigrant from Finland myself – but what is he doing on a Canadian bill? Sadly, I observe the gender imbalance and devaluing of women’s contributions continues. Who decides? Please, ladies, remain engaged in speaking up, championing improvements and not demurely watching in silence. Get involved in clubs, organizations and even politics! Pat Petrala, White Rock

Cost of accessing White Rock business projects is disproportionately higher than larger cities, write Graham Wood.

Reduce the red tape for business An open letter to White Rock mayor and council. For what it’s worth, I have a complaint and suggestion. My father-in-law is a contractor who works out of Port Coquitlam and he successfully bid on a small renovation job in White Rock – under $2,000. During work, he was met by the local bylaw officer who presented him with a $75 fine for not having a business licence with the city. Fair enough, he should have been fined. The trouble is, while he does work all across Greater Vancouver, his principal place of business is Port Coquitlam, where another business license is issued. I cannot excuse him for not having a non-resident business licence for White Rock. He has one for the City of Surrey and for other larger municipalities, which costs around $230 annually, about the same as White Rock. Here’s the problem. With only 20,000 residents in White Rock – versus nearly 500,000 in Surrey, 600,000 in Vancouver, 250,000 in Burnaby and so on – many companies simply don’t get licences or refuse to do business in White Rock because of this sort of red tape. If Surrey charges $230 for their non-resident licence for access to do business with 500,000 people, White Rock should be charging $9.20, on a per capita basis.

That type of suggestion is untenable, as the cost to administer a license is likely greater than that fee. However, with so many companies and contractors acting within Metro Vancouver, perhaps the region as a whole should look at streamlining the licensing process. Each municipality has different fee structures, different classifications and different policies. All of the time and money associated with getting licences is downloaded to the consumers. Each one of us pays more to maintain this bureaucracy and warrantless red tape every time we employ a business to render goods or services. How much money does the city receive as revenue from the issuance of these permits, less administration? I imagine a centralized business licensing office would reduce the administrative costs, and in turn free up staff to process other inquires quicker and more efficiently. Further, if red tape is reduced and firms could enter any municipality in the region by paying a single fee, consumers would see more competition and lower costs. It would be great if White Rock could spearhead the streamlining of business licensing across the region. It would be a feather in the cap of the mayor and council. Graham Wood, White Rock

New location. Same reliable tax service.

10,000 more tickets issued last year than in 2010

Traffic camera tickets rise Jeff Nagel Black Press

Automated cameras busted 50 per cent more drivers for running red lights last year and ICBC doesn’t rule out making even greater use of the technology to reduce intersection crashes. The newly installed system of digital intersection cameras generated 30,803 tickets against redlight runners, up from 20,521 in 2010 under the old analog cameras. That translated into $3.6 million in paid fines for 2011 so far and $5.1 million, if all of the $167 tickets are paid. That compares to about $2.9 million in 2010. The largest number of tickets were issued in Vancouver – 13,012 – followed by 5,298 in Surrey, 4,027 in Burnaby, 1,976 in Delta and 1,394 in Richmond. In the Peace Arch News distribution area, there are five trafficlight cameras: on 152 Street at King George Boulevard, Highway 10 and 64 Avenue, as well as 120 Street at Highway 10 and 64 Avenue at King George Boulevard. Additionally, there are another 28 cameras throughout the rest of Surrey, all but one north of 64 Avenue. The cameras flash each time a red light runner is detected, but tickets are only issued to about one out of every four violators,

A red light camera is installed at the intersection of King George Boulevard and 152 Street. continuing the enforcement rate used in the past. Mark Milner, ICBC’s manager of road safety programs, said the ticket increase was expected because more cameras are now in use – 140 compared to 120 with the old system – and they’ve been

put in more effective locations. “We do expect that number will go down over time as people get used to the idea a little more and as they modify their behaviour,” he said. Milner said ICBC is now conducting an evaluation of whether the program is actually reducing the number of crashes. If warranted, he said, ICBC could opt to boost the ticketissuing rate. The five intersections where the most tickets were issued last year were Nordel Way at 84 Avenue in Delta (1,393 tickets); King George Boulevard at 80 Avenue in Surrey (1,205); West Georgia Street at Denman in Vancouver (1,052); Granville Street at West 49th in Vancouver (1,038); and Oak Street at West 57th in Vancouver (998). “It doesn’t necessarily mean that people are running the red light more often (at those sites), just that they’re getting caught more,” Milner said. The project to modernize the intersection cameras cost $23 million, while the annual operating cost is $1.2 million. Milner said all of that will be recovered through insuranceclaim savings in the coming years. Fine revenue goes to provincial traffic-safety initiatives.

perspectives …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Indefinite hiatus for annual cancer fundraiser

One last Nite to spark a lifetime of hope Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter

t’s been six years since an idea was borne from one woman’s struggle, evolving into an event that has touched the hearts of countless people on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. On April 12, the seventh annual White Rock/South Surrey Nite of Hope, benefiting breast cancer research, will once again bring the community together in the search for a cure, before taking an indefinite hiatus. Committee chair and breast cancer survivor Debi Rumley, who brought the gala dinner event to the South Surrey/White Rock area in 2006 after attending in her hometown of Richmond, said that while this would be the last event here for the time being, it is by no means over. “This is not a goodbye forever, we are just taking a good break for now,” Rumley said. Lori Ishikawa, who is co-chair of the event’s committee with Rumley and Tammy Ritchie, said that retiring Nite of Hope had a lot to do with her decision to move on to other areas of need in the city. “I was the one who started it, I guess,” she laughed. “I knew this would be my last Night of Hope, and I was hoping Tammy would stay, but we have both started working on another charity which helps refugee families in need. After so many years of doing Nite of Hope, it was time for a change of focus.” It’s been a whirlwind six years for the three women, who first teamed up to create the committee shortly after Rumley partnered with White Rock Coast Capital branch manager Sharon Provost in late 2005. During a lunch meeting, the two women discussed adding more sponsors when Provost suggested the “perfect” person for the task, Rumley said. “She told me that this is exactly the kind of event Linda Klitch, publisher of the Peace Arch News,

Above, co-chairs Lori Ishikawa, Debi Rumley and Tammy Ritchie. Right, delicious food and fabulous fashions were just a couple of the reasons why Nite of Hope was such a popular event on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. could help with,” Rumley said of PAN’s late publisher, who died last fall after complications from surgery. “We went to meet her and she was the most vivacious person you would want to meet and so ready to help. “It all started with a conversation, some very caring people and companies nurturing the project.” Shortly after that, the committee was formed, with the same people staying on for the past six years. The committee has been assisted by more than 150 volunteers who help make Nite of Hope a success each year, Rumley said. “Without our community, this

would not go on,” she said. “This disease affected me, I brought it forward, and then it became everyone’s event.” “Everyone comes together, and I don’t know most of them – it would be impossible to know them all. They are just people in the community who step forward to help the community.” Since its inception, the goal for Nite of Hope has been to raise $1 million for breast cancer research. So far, they have raised more than $900,000 locally, making Rumley and the committee confident they will achieve the $1-million mark this year. Much of the reason behind the event’s success is due to the fact that

100 per cent of the proceeds goes to breast cancer research, she said. “Every dollar goes to research, that was really important. We didn’t want it to go to a bunch of administrative fees,” she said. “All the people in our community – including the 1,500 businesses in White Rock and South Surrey – have helped us get to this mark. We couldn’t have done it without them.” This year, the committee approached the members of the business community, asking for donations of $1 for each woman in their lives. “We’ve had people donate hundreds of dollars for the women in their lives,” she said. “It’s wonderful.”

Just as important as the money raised – to organizers – is the awareness about prevention, including mammograms. “I was over 40 and I had never had a mammogram before being diagnosed,” Rumley said. “I was healthy and I had never had any history in the family. It’s so important to get it done.” Since originating in Richmond in 1994, and now including gatherings locally and in the North Shore, the three communities have collectively raised more than $2.6 million for Nite of Hope. The White Rock event will be held at Centennial Arena, 14600 North Bluff Rd. For more, go to www.niteofhope.com

Surrey shifts kennels Kevin Diakiw Black Press

The City of Surrey will no longer be using the BC SPCA for its kenneling services. Those services include housing stray animals that are found by Surrey bylaw officers or turned in by the public. Animal protection will still be the responsibility of the BC SPCA. The move to switch from the BC SPCA for kenneling has been in the works for the last year, with Surrey purchasing its own property for an animal shelter in Cloverdale, in the 17900-block of Colebrook Road. Surrey was originally looking to partner with another organization, but recently decided to take a run at kenneling on its own. This month, the switch from the SPCA to the B.C. Commissionaires finally took place. The BC SPCA bid for the contract, but was unable to match the low price of using the Commissioinaires. “We put in the most competitive bid we could without compromising the welfare of the stray and injured animals received by the shelter,” said Craig Daniell, chief executive officer for the BC SPCA. “It appears that the city’s decision was based on cost but, given our experience carrying out animalcontrol contracts across the province, we knew we could not lower the bid without adversely affecting animal care.” Animals being kenneled at the Surrey branch of the BC SPCA will be turned over to the Commissionaires on April 30. The first phase of the new Surrey centre is set to open this summer.

Council Update - Your Taxes No one likes paying taxes, not even us. The good news is that the City of White Rock has made a concentrated effort to reduce spending in 2012 and keep property taxes in check with a proposed increase of only 2.5%. If we didn’t make this effort to cut costs, this year’s tax increase could have been over 4%. We just weren’t prepared to do that. Instead, staff proposed reductions to the budget totalling $360,000, lowering the increase to only 2.5%. Even with these cuts, the City will maintain the same level of services, facilities and infrastructure that you’ve come to expect. Some services, such as protective services, will actually increase this year. For example, the 2012 – 2016 Financial Plan accommodates adding one more police officer to the White Rock detachment. A large cost driver for property taxes in White Rock is garbage and recycling collection. More than 1%, or $200,000, of the 2.5% property tax increase is due to rising costs of solid waste collection. These costs are related to increased tipping fees combined with an ongoing effort to meet Metro Vancouver’s mandated target of diverting 70% of solid waste from garbage to other program streams, such as organic waste and recycling. We are taking steps towards reducing as much of those costs as possible. For example, the City currently pays a tipping fee of $107 per tonne of garbage, while green waste costs $41.58 per tonne. The introduction of the Green Can program in 2011 was the first step towards reducing solid waste costs. We also need to work together to reduce banned items in the garbage and green waste. Electronics hidden in garbage cans or plastic bags in Green Cans result in regular fines. It’s important to note that White Rock general property taxes include all solid waste costs, which are often charged as a separate utility fee in other municipalities. For example, a 2.9% tax increase at another municipality might actually be more when you factor in their separate 1% solid waste tax increase. To show transparency of the solid waste program cost increases, this will be identified as a “Solid Waste Program Levy” on this year’s tax notices. We welcome you to learn more about your property taxes and the City’s 2012 – 2016 Financial Plan. Agendas and minutes from the Finance and Audit Committee meetings and from City Council meetings are available online at www.whiterockcity.ca under Council and Committees.

Date: Wednesday, April 11, 2012 Time: 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. - Open House 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. - Presentation, discussion and exchange of ideas on how to enhance White Rock’s promenade and public waterfront realm Location: White Rock Community Centre, 15154 Russell Avenue

Travelling healthy trade fair in South Surrey

Don’t forget vaccinations Travelling abroad? Make sure your vaccinations are up to date for the country you visit. That advice is from the organizers of the first semi annual “Travel and Health” trade show tomorrow (Friday) at Windsor Square in South Surrey. It aims to raise awareness about exotic diseases abroad, new vaccines and disease outbreaks at home, said Dr. Sherry Asgari-Pour, a travel-medicine consultant with the International Travel Health and Vaccination Clinic,

the business sponsoring the event. “A lot of people forget about shots before travelling or try and get lastminute advice from a GP,” said Dr. Asgari-Pour. “Unfortunately, they don’t always have the up-to-date information, might not know the vaccine schedules properly and do not have the vaccines on hand.” Participants in the trade show – noon to 5 p.m., 1959 152 St. – include doctors, health suppliers and travel agents.

The current Executive of the White Rock South Surrey Baseball Association, wishes to publicly apologize to Mr. John Hogg and Mr. Graham Edwards for the actions of the former Executive of our Association regarding events relating to the 2010 Twelve Year Old All-Star team. We have reviewed all the evidence available to us, and it is clear to this Executive that the allegations brought against Mr. Hogg and Mr. Edwards were, from the outset, both unfounded and without any merit. There is clear evidence that the Rules of Natural Justice, which require fair process, including the right to be heard by an independent adjudicator, and the right to respond to allegations were not followed. Based upon our review of the available documentation, it appears to this Executive that certain members of the previous Executive failed to understand and appropriately exercise their governance responsibilities to these two individual members, to Mr. Steve Rebuck and to the Association as a whole. This Executive recognizes that the treatment of Mr. Hogg and Mr. Edwards was an injustice to them and to their families. We recognize and thank them both for the generous donation of their time and resources to our association and the youth of this community for many years. This injustice has impacted not just these individuals but others who found and continue to ďŹ nd these events unacceptable and not reďŹ&#x201A;ective of the Association we aspire to be. We wish to afďŹ rm the Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to fairness for all its members and to the youth of our community. To that end, we are reviewing our discipline policy to make whatever amendments or to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure as much as possible that a repeat of this breach of fair process and pursuit of unfounded allegations, cannot be repeated and that those in positions of authority within our Association are held to a standard of conduct reďŹ&#x201A;ective of the proud history our Association has in this community.

Pitching ideas in the Den Black Press

Aspiring entrepreneurs – including some from White Rock and Surrey – pitched their business ideas for everything from chocolate-flavoured wine to disposable toilets during Dragons’ Den auditions this week in Abbotsford. Producers of the hit CBC TV show were in town as one of 10 stops across Canada – and three in B.C. – to find contenders for season six of the program. Selected candidates will be invited to face the “Dragons” – a panel of business tycoons – in Toronto later this year to seek investment in their product or business. A total of 35 presenters audi-

tioned in Abbotsford at the Best Western Plus Regency Inn and Conference Centre. There, they faced producers Molly Duignan and Amy Bourne, who peppered them with Dragons’ Den-type questions about their financing, business acumen and product plans. Among those auditioning were Willis Butchart of White Rock, with a disposable toilet, called Gotta Go, which he proposes for use during natural disasters; Leonard and Linda Wiebe of White Rock with their chocolate-infused wines from France sold under the label Vino Cacao; and Surrey eye doctor Marc Moison with The Roaddie, a baseball cap with a plastic face

piece attached to protect kids’ faces while they play road hockey. Abbotsford resident Andrea Chapman – with her product Royal Relief, an all-natural topical pain reliever – said that if selected for the show, she will ask the “dragons” for a $200,000 investment. In turn, they will receive a 40 per cent share in her company. Also from Abbotsford, Gary “Sir John” Carlsen III pitched “Jimi Hendrix” coffee, which he proposes to sell as a fundraiser for the Jimi Hendrix Family Foundation, a non-profit music school for atrisk youth. After Abbotsford, the auditions conclude with three stops in Ontario.

Each novel evokes a different reaction from each of us. Sometimes an event in the story has triggered a powerful emotion and a closeted or painful memory is shared. For a moment we are silent. We are touched by the fact that our bond is so safe and secure that this often sad revelation can be expressed openly without fear or judgment. As one of the gals emphasized, “What happens in Book Club, stays in Book Club!” I am in awe of the power of our sisterhood, for we have discovered a warmth and camaraderie amongst us. We are lucky as we know this feeling of kinship and social connectedness which women have experienced throughout the centuries will keep us healthy in mind and body.

enviro notes

Despite this, only 50 of the more than 134,000 crossings known to be at high or medium priority for remediation have been dealt with in the past two years. At this rate, it will take more than 3,000 years to correct the existing problems! Last year, the auditor general’s report, Conservation of Ecological Integrity in B.C. Parks and Protected Areas, asked if B.C. Parks, was meeting its stated goal of “proactive stewardship of ecological integrity.” The answer was a clear ‘no.’ Amongst other things, the ministry does not have sufficient and reliable information on species, ecosystems and ecological processes and it has halted its interpretation program which was instrumental in informing visitors about ecology and the park environment. The audit report’s concluding assessment could well be applied to all of B.C.’s resource management – the organization does not have the resources and expertise to meet its stated goal. Of course, this raises the urgent questions: can we dare allow this deteriorating situation to continue and, if not, what will we, the community, do to remedy it?

Pledge to recover unpaid fines Jeff Nagel Black Press

Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom is promising action to extract unpaid fines from TransLink fare cheaters who for the most part never pay up. He was responding to a TransLink acknowledgement that fareevasion tickets issued by Transit Police have been unenforceable for years because there are no consequences for not paying the $173 fine. “What we have here is the ability to issue tickets without the ability to enforce those tickets,” Lekstrom said. The issue is not a new one for TransLink, which was advised by auditors PriceWaterhouseCoopers in 2007 to ask the province to deny government services, such as driver’s licence renewals, to transit scofflaws until their fines are paid. TransLink raised the issue with the government a number of times since. “We have had an

opportunity to look at that over the years,” Lekstrom said, adding the current system was

created in 1999. “We haven’t changed that. But I can tell you this is the first time it’s been

brought to my attention and I’m going to fix it.” He did not say how he plans to fix the problem.

lifestyles Deb Imada’s second annual Bumspiel is set to hit the ice this weekend

Curlers aim to bring cancer to an end Mario Bartel

W Black Press

hen most people survive cancer, they just want to put the disease and its grueling treatment behind them. Not Deb Imada. That’s because her cancer was in her behind. And now she’s made it her mission to put colorectal cancer in the forefront of people’s minds. She’s doing that by organizing the second annual Bumspiel for Colorectal Cancer to be held at the Royal City Curling Club on Saturday. The event is a fundraiser for the Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada. But more importantly, Imada hopes it raises awareness about the disease and how to survive it. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer in Canadian men and women combined. Of the approximately 22,000 Canadians diagnosed with colorectal cancer last year, 8,900 will die from it. Those are grim numbers considering the disease is curable 90 per cent of the time if it’s caught early. It’s that last part that hangs most people up, says Imada, who lives in Surrey. It’s not easy to talk about your backside, and “people are so fearful about getting a colonoscopy.” In fact, cancer was the furthest thing from Imada’s mind when she went to her doctor to get checked out for a possible recurrence of the hemorrhoids that had plagued her after he son was born four years earlier. Her family had no history of colorectal cancer, she’d never had a problem with benign polyps, she was active and she was only 43 years old,

Deb Imada’s Bumspiel is a fundraiser for the Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada. seven years younger than the primary risk group. But when her doctor said she felt a lump during her examination, Imada’s world turned upside down. Four months of tests, two surgeons and five days of radiation treatment later the tumour was removed.

“The waiting is the hardest part,” says Imada. “The whole time I felt like a ticking time bomb.” But her battle didn’t end there. Six months of chemotherapy stretched to eight. She suffered numerous side-effects including painful numbness in her fingers and the bottoms of her feet. She says there were days she

was so physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted, she couldn’t get out of bed. Regular screenings to ensure she remained clear of cancer were emotionally agonizing. “It’s like the doctors say, ‘we’ve cured you but the chances of recurrence are highest in the first two years,’” she says. Every colonoscopy or CT scan, she hoped and prayed for a clean report. She’ll continue to be screened for the rest of her life. It’s like a fellow patient once told her, “We’re out of the woods, but we’re not yet out of the forest.” During her battle with colorectal cancer, a colleague at work was also diagnosed with the disease and eventually died from it. That’s when she made a promise to him, and to herself, to help spread the word about the disease and the importance of early detection through regular screening. “It makes me mad when someone dies from this because it’s so curable.” A recreational curler at the RCCC before she was diagnosed, she glommed onto the idea of a “bumspiel” because her son had shown interest in the sport while watching the Vancouver Winter Olympics. The clever play on words helped as well, she says. It’s a non-competitive event that Imada promises will be just as much fun for beginners as hardcore stonethrowers. It’s even attracted a team of four doctors from the Netherlands who specialize in colorectal cancer and found out about the bumspiel while searching the Internet. There’s also door prizes as well as an award for the top fundraiser. To find out more email Imada at bumspiel@ gmail.com or go to curling4coloncancer.weebly.com

The timeless raincoat Take inspiration from the great designers in order to stay warm and dry during the cool weather of early spring. A great style to adopt at this time of year is one that we’ve seen on fashion catwalks many times over the years: the raincoat modeled on the Burberry trench coat. Designers are continually updating this ever popular clothing item. If you want to stay with the trend this year; all you have to do is look at the latest styles the stars are wearing. The first step in choosing the perfect raincoat is to decide which variation is right for you. Do the straight lines of the military style appeal to you, or perhaps the more feminine effect of the flounced cape? Many options are available, allowing you to personalize your “trench” to your heart’s content. There are also many ways to wear a raincoat at this time of year. If you are burning with impatience to flaunt your legs after a long, cold winter, then combine the raincoat with a pencil skirt for the ultimate in leggy looks.

Q Le Leggings L gg ggi giings g n – Hue ng ngs ue

Bear in mind that a wide belt wrapped tight at the waist of a trench coat is extremely ﬂattering for most ﬁgures. Worn over jeans and a white tailored blouse, a wide open raincoat with the belt looped around and knotted at the back creates a casual boyish look.

Q Ye Y Yellow llo lo ow Shoes Shoe ho s – Fl F Fly y London

However you wear it, this timeless and highly versatile fashion item should certainly take a front row seat in all spring wardrobes. It is well worth investing in a good quality trench coat that will last for seasons to come.

Maninder Gill faces several weapons charges.

Radio boss to stand trial Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Maninder Gill, the managing director at Surrey-based Radio India, has been ordered to stand trial on numerous weapons charges related to a 2010 shooting outside the Guru Nanak Sikh Temple. The ruling came after a two-day preliminary inquiry in Surrey Provincial Court last week, the evidence of which cannot be reported due to a publication ban. Gill was charged in connection with a dispute Aug. 28, 2010 in the temple parking lot near 120 Street and 70 Avenue that left Harjit Singh Atwal with a non-fatal bullet wound to his leg.

Gill’s charges include pointing a firearm, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose, unauthorized possession of a firearm, discharge of a firearm with intent to wound or disfigure, aggravated assault, possessing a prohibited or restricted weapon with ammunition, and unlawfully discharging a firearm. Atwal and others had previously filed a civil lawsuit against Gill and Radio India employees alleging defamation and libel over comments that aired on the Punjabi radio station. Gill’s next court appearance is scheduled for April 19 in New Westminster Supreme Court.

Surrey has shut down 18 illegal massage parlours in the last 18 months. Surrey’s crime reduction team has been working at putting the errant body rub parlours out of business over the past year-anda-half, and has managed to shut them down at a rate of one per month. The city has been cancelling licences at the businesses that had been permitted under the category of aestheticians, which includes stores such as nail studios. That makes body massage an illegal use under the city’s permit laws. “They were across the city,” said Coun. Barinder Rasode, chair

of the city’s public safety and crime reduction committees. Surrey only grants permits for massage therapy clinics to professionals who are licensed through the Massage Therapists Association. Illegal body rub parlours had been operating in the city for some time, but Surrey only recently learned they weren’t properly permitted. “When we became aware of them, and when we became aware of a way we were able to shut them down, we did,” Rasode said. “We are a city of families, we have a licensing department that is based on our bylaws, and we don’t welcome any business that’s doing illegal activity.”

arts & entertainment â&#x20AC;Śon the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Players Club show set to open

Lionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tale has edge Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

istory classes were never so pithy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or witty. The Lion In Winter, White Rock Playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; upcoming presentation (April 11-28, Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd.) seems to have everything going for it. Medieval costumes and stage fighting, a dysfunctional royal family with a closet full of skeletons, and dialogue replete with zinger lines and modern-audiencefriendly referencesâ&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like Shakespeare re-imagined as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;realityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; TV or, as director Dale Kelly describes it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a very stylish All In The Family with swords.â&#x20AC;? So entertaining is the 1966 James Goldman play â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which had its most celebrated incarnation as a 1968 film with Katherine Hepburn and Peter Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole â&#x20AC;&#x201C; audiences may well forget itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about some very real personalities of late 12th century Europe. Principal focus is on the imperious Henry II of England (Ben Odberg), his older wife and astute opponent, Eleanor of Aquitaine (Lori Tych), and his sons, warlike Richard the Lionheart (Bryce Mills), wily Geoffrey (Glen Surzyshyn), and weakling John (Keaton Mazurek). No less historical are the characters of Philip II, the young King of France (David Quast), and his sister Alais Capet (Elyse Maloway), both of whom have significant claims on the in-fighting royals in an era when English kings still swore fealty to the French crown. In fact, the story takes place in France â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at Henryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s castle at Chinon, in the Anjou region, in the winter of 1183. A family reunion at Christmas is the scene of barbed maneuvering around a basic question â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who stands to succeed the aging, but still vital, Henry and further his dream of an independent English monarchy. Theatre-goers can expect verbal jousts, physical struggles and emotional warfare â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with more than a few shattering revelations along the way. Which makes The Lion in Winter a canny choice for the Playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entry in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Theatre B.C. Vancouver Zone festival, which also takes place at the Coast Capital Playhouse (April 29 - May 5). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those shows that everyone wants to do,â&#x20AC;? acknowledged Kelly, who has been planning the show for close to a year with his frequent collaborator, wife Colleen. He noted that Surzyshyn â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who he previously directed in the Players Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Fred Partridge photo

Elyse Maloway and Ben Odberg (above) and Keaton Mazurek and Lori Tych (left) rehearse scenes from The Lion in Winter, which opens April 11 at the Coast Capital Playhouse.

2007 production of Madonna â&#x20AC;&#x201C; actually auditioned for the show over the Internet from Winnipeg, where he makes his main residence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He got a friend to act with him and gave a very good audition,â&#x20AC;? Kelly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most long-distance audition Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever done.â&#x20AC;? He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also happy to have the chance to work again with actors of the proven calibre and presence of Odberg and Tych â&#x20AC;&#x201C; now marking their third co-starring appearance on the White Rock boards, following last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Earth and Sky (for Kelly) and Accomplice (for David Lloyd Austin).

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ben and Lori make a very good team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both trying to find the intense moments as well as the comedy. Henry and Eleanor are both trying to trade off and make deals with each other â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but the attraction is still there, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intellectual equals.â&#x20AC;? A more than 30-year community theatre veteran â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this will be the 76th show heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s directed for some 20 Lower Mainland groups since 1979 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kelly said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also enjoying working for the first time with Quast, Mills, Mazurek and Maloway. Researching The Lion in Winter has been fascinating, he said, particularly learning about the dynamism of the long-lived, resourceful Eleanor, a woman who would have been extraordinary in any age. And while Goldman took some liberties with fact, he noted, the playwrightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s informed guesses succeed in breathing life into the historical characters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything involved in the show is a simplification,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything happened, but not necessarily in the order it happens in the show.â&#x20AC;? Because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a festival competitor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with the aim of being selected to represent the zone at the Theatre B.C. Mainstage festival, the show has been designed to travel light, Kelly said.

That means building set pieces rather than a full set and employing creative â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;goboâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lighting effects, he said. And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also added a retinue of court servants who double as scene shifters, allowing for fluid scene changes rather than long and clumsy interruptions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like doing shows like that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I think everything flows a lot better that way,â&#x20AC;? Kelly said, adding the show will provide club set builder Colin Fotherby his on-stage debut. Atmosphere will also be served by Leigh Burtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evocative costumes, he said, while he expects an added sense of realism through the help of the Society for Creative Anachronism, who are supplying authentic medieval armour, weaponry and expertise. That sense of danger is important to his vision of the play, Kelly explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s billed as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a comedy in two actsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of darkness in there,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a very violent time and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of violence within the show, from the family members to each other. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It needs that edge. The final solution to most of their problems was killing whoever stood in their way â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there seemed to be no other alternative.â&#x20AC;?

Dentures are prosthesis that should only be considered for temporary use. The device is associated with many negative consequences that eventually lead to a dramatic decline to the well being of the wearer. Extensive bone loss experienced by denture wearers account for most of the issues. With increasing bone loss, often as soon as a year into complete tooth loss, the denture has to be made taller and more bulky

in order to provide the required esthetics. This results in a movement of 10 mm or more in every direction. The net effect is a very unstable denture where food can slip under the surface and hurt the underlying gums. The movement causes further bone loss and the vicious cycle continues. In the upper jaw , the denture is made to cover the roof of the mouth. This is a way of achieving some degree of suction to retain the prosthesis but the wearer pays the price of having 70 % of his /her taste buds covered and the gum tissue is strangled all day long with very little oxygen exchange through it’s surface. Yeast infection is often present but may go un-noticed The result? Decreased conﬁdence in function ,

arts & entertainment Southridge actors strong in Australian play

Theatre students make Good Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Southridge Senior School’s drama students have made something of a specialty of historical plays and Australian theatre pieces in recent years. The dramas Unity, 1918 by Kevin Kerr and 1949 by David French explored pivotal periods in Canada’s past, while Cosi and My Sister Violet were Canadian premieres of edgy shows that first saw the light of day ‘down under.’ It seems a logical progression for the school’s most recent production last month to have been a period drama set in Australia, Timberlake Wertenbaker’s Our Country’s Good. Set in New South Wales in the 1780s, it concerned the first penal colony established there by Governor Arthur Philip and the British Royal Marines, and populated by male and female convicts drawn from British prisons. In the hands of British playwright Wertenbaker, what could be merely a chronicle of suffering and degradation becomes uplifting when, responding to a suggestion from the governor, a young second lieutenant helps organize a production of the Restoration comedy, The Recruiting Officer,

And Southridge English and drama teacher Jennifer Kelly said the students responded positively to the messages of the well-received play, while also learning much about the historic period in the process. “The biggest thing that drew me to the play was how the personal struggles and

endeavours were seen in a positive light rather than negative,” she said. “I liked the idea of a play within a play to transform the life of the town – it’s really about theatre as a transformative medium. It teaches the audience that anyone can do anything if you let them and believe in them, and, for the students, that see page A37

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Surrey falls 3-0 to Kings

Eagles shut out Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Crowded house The crowds at Peace Arch Curling Centre’s open house last Saturday exceeded expectations – to the point where club manager Richard Brower lost count of how many came through the doors. “We didn’t count – it was too busy, but for an hour or two, we had so many people that we had to send some upstairs to wait (for a turn on the ice),” he said, adding that the number of visitors was at least 200. “I was pleasantly surprised. I hadn’t received a lot of phone calls or emails about the open house, so I really didn’t expect this many

people. It was great.” The four-hour open house gave those interested a chance to check out the club’s new facility – opened last year in conjunction with the Centre for Active Living – as well as learn the game from Peace Arch Curling instructors. “Hopefully they liked it, and will want to come back in the fall for our learn-tocurl program,” Brower said. The club is just wrapping up its 2011/12 season – the last day of curling is Saturday. For more on the club, visit www.peacearchcurling.com - Nick Greenizan

Momentum is a tough thing to predict – especially in sports. Sometimes, it appears as if from nowhere and propels a team to a championship. At other times, it can evaporate from a seemingly red-hot team at a moment’s notice. Just ask Surrey Eagles’ head coach Matt Erhart, whose team failed to score in a 3-0 loss to the Powell River Kings Tuesday, in Game 1 of the BCHL Coastal Conference finals. The game came just two days after Surrey won a thrilling first-round series against Cowichan Valley that ended with a Game 7 overtime goal from Brandon Tanev. And a day prior to Game 1, Erhart said he was hopeful the momentum from one series might give his squad a boost in the next. No such luck, unfortunately, as the offence ground to a halt Tuesday at Hap Parker Arena. The Eagles managed just 26 shots on Kings’ netminder Sean Maguire compared to 49 for Powell River on Surrey’s Andrew Hunt – though some BCHL barns are notorious for skewing the shot totals. The home team got on the board first Tuesday when Brendan MacDonald beat Hunt, and Powell River stretched its lead to 3-0 by the second intermission on goals from Cohen Adair and Evan Richardson. Game 2 of the series was played Wednesday, but results were not available by press deadline. After being held off the scoresheet in the opener, Erhart may be tempted to shuffle his lineup for Game 2 and beyond. With both clubs so familiar with each other – they played seven times in the regular season and in playoffs three of the last four years – Erhart said before the series that he expected plenty of mid-series adjustments from both sides. “We’re fairly familiar with them and their personnel, and they’re familiar with us, too,” he said. “You set your team up… and then after Game 1, you usually make some more changes.” Games 3 and 4 are slated for South Surrey Arena Thursday and Friday.

With one convincing victory, the Bayside Sharks were able to both set themselves up nicely for the playoffs, as well as exact a little revenge in the process. Last weekend at Brockton Oval in Stanley Park, the Sharks first division menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rugby defeated the Vancouver Rowing Club 50-26 in what was a battle for first place in the division. The Sharks now sit three points up on the Rowers, with three games left to play, and have the inside track on a firstround playoff bye and â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if things go well â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the chance to host the championship game at South Surrey Athletic Park. The win also helps erase the memory of a 37-35 loss to the Rowers earlier this month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a pretty good little beatdown we put on them, for sure,â&#x20AC;? said Sharks coach Pat Kearney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guys were still kind of sour about how that first game ended, losing by two, so this was a good game for us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was probably the best 80 minutes of rugby weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played all season.

not, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll spend the summer coaching summer swimmers with WRASA. Johns, who also trains and coaches at UBC with the Vancouver Dolphins swim club, is WRASAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head coach, while Berg, the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistant head coach, trains at SFU and is a member of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national team.

National SAM awards presented to local companies

GVHBA members honoured in Quebec The Canadian Home Builders’ Association held its 69th annual convention on March 17 in Mont Tremblant, Quebec, and four Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association members were among the winners of the National SAM Awards. “The awards ... recognize outstanding performance in new homes and renovation design, innovative technology and construction techniques, and outstanding marketing and sales activities,” says GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson. Portrait Homes was the recipient of the Community Development Award, which recognizes excellent achievement

in creating an attractive, exciting and innovative community for its development Silver Ridge. Adera Development Corporation won the New Home Award for best multi-family project for zen (Salus phase C and D), while Harald Koehn Construction won a Home Renovation Award in the Any Room category. TQ Construction was also honoured with a Home Renovation Award in the Addition category. “Winning a National SAM Award is a major accomplishment within our industry,” CHBA President Ron Olson says. “Every award recognizes an outstanding success.”

Honouring local builders

GVHBA announces Ovation Award nominees by Kerry Vital

The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association will be giving a standing Ovation to its finalists at its third annual Ovation Awards next month, which honour excellence in new home and renovation design, construction, accessibility, sustainability, affordability, energy efficiency and heritage restoration. The list of finalists in 41 categories was released last week. Among the group is Kenorah Construction & Design, ParkLane Homes, Portrait Homes and My House Design/Build Team, among many others. “Last year, Vancouver-area homebuilders spent nearly $4 billion on home renovation, and builders started construction on 17,867 new homes,” says GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson. “Residential construction is a major contributer to Metro Vancouver’s economy and the GVHBA is delighted to partner with FortisBC and the Homeowner Protection Office to honour the industry’s brightest stars.” ParkLane Homes reigns as the topnominated builder, with 13 finalist nominations including Multi-Family Builder of the Year, Single-Family Builder of the Year and Best SingleFamily Detached Home: 3,000 square feet and over. The nominations are spread over several ParkLane communities, including Headwater at Bedford Landing, Time at Walnut Grove and Winchester. Portrait Homes has been nominated for seven awards, including Best SingleFamily Detached Home: Less than 2,000 square feet and Best Townhome/ Rowhome Development: Less than 2,000 square feet. “As a long-standing member of the GVHBA, Portrait Homes is very proud of have received these seven Ovation Award nominations,” says Vice-President of Marketing and Sales Troy Steine. “Receiving recognition at this level would not have been made possible without the dedication and commitment from each and every one of us here on the Portrait Homes team. ... We will continually strive to improve the design and finishing of our homes, our service to our clients and our overall customer experience.” Several other builders appear among the finalists, including British Pacific Properties, Townline Group of Companies, Boffo Developments and Adera Development Corporation.

British Pacific Properties was nominated for Best Single-Family Home: 3,000 square feet and over for its Highgrove – Whitby Estates showhome and Best Townhome/Rowhome Development: 2,000 square feet and over for Aerie. Townline was honoured with a nomination for Best Townhome/ Rowhome Development: Less than 2,000 square feet for its project Clayton Rise, while Boffo is nominated for Best Multi-Family Highrise Development for Jewel. Adera is a finalist for the FortisBC Award for Excellence in Energy Efficiency for New Construction with its seven35 project in North Vancouver. The awards will be handed out on April 28.

“

The GVHBA is delighted to partner with FortisBC and the Homeowner Protection Ofﬁce to honour the industry’s brightest stars,” says GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson.

Buy a Power Smart home, save three ways Save now, and save later: not many homes can promise you that. But when you buy a home from a Power Smart New Home Builder youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll save money, including reduced mortgage insurance and lower monthly bills. An EnerGuide label is your assurance that the home is independently rated to be energy-efďŹ cient. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget, an energyefďŹ cient home is more comfortable too. Layout, amenities, and those much-promoted granite countertops. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to think about when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re buying a new home. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one feature that can make a positive difference to your wallet when you purchase, and every month that you own your home. Choosing a Power Smart New Home gives home buyers an easy way to find a home that is designed and built to save energy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buying an energy-efficient home is one of the best ways to maximize your home budget,â&#x20AC;? says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Power Smart New Home program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you save on expenses, you can afford more mortgage. But many new homes are not built with energy efficiency in mind - so looking for the EnerGuide label is wise.â&#x20AC;? An EnerGuide rating is a standard measure of a homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy performance, rated on a scale of 0 to 100. A rating of 0 represents a home with major air leakage, no insulation and extremely high energy consumption. A rating of 100 represents a house that is airtight, well insulated, sufficiently ventilated and requires no purchased energy. The first benefit youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find is on your mortgage insurance: Power Smart New Homes qualify for a 10 per cent refund on Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation Mortgage

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Buying an energy-efďŹ cient home is one of the best ways to maximize your home budget,â&#x20AC;? says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Power Smart New Home program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you save on expenses, you can afford more mortgage.â&#x20AC;?

Insurance. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also save on your monthly bills. Homes that are rated EnerGuide 80 use at least 30 per cent less energy than an average new home. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money in your pocket every month â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially great when energy costs are only expected to rise. Buy a home with a rating higher than EnerGuide 80, and save even more. The third benefit is resale value; as energy costs rise and green building continues to gain popularity, a home that demonstrates its efficiency will likely hold its value as compared to one that is inefficient with high monthly operating costs. There are other benefits as well, Overholt says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Builders who are smart about energy efficiency are adopting improved building practices and making use of new technologies. Their homes are more comfortable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while using less energy overall. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to add energy efficiency later; you need to get it built in from the start.â&#x20AC;? The Power Smart New Home program gives you an easy way to find houses, townhomes, and condos that are designed to save energy. For more information and to find your energy efficient dream home, check out the full listing of Power Smart New Home Builders and featured developments at bchydro.com/pshomes.

NOT ALL NEW HOMES ARE BUILT WITH ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN MIND. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why it pays to look for a Power Smart New Home Builder when shopping for your next home. Power Smart New Homes are independently rated EnerGuide 80 or higher, which means they use at least 30% less energy than an average new home. And since theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re built the smart way, they stay cooler in the summer and cozier in the winterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all while saving you money for years to come.
