TransLink commissioner says savings achievable without cuts, but mayors unsure

Overruled fee hikes jeopardize routes Jeff Nagel Black Press

TransLink Commissioner Martin Crilly has vetoed a steep transit fare increase next year, ordering TransLink officials to instead carve waste from the transportation authority. It’s good news for passengers, who overwhelmingly opposed the fare hikes. But the decision – which knocks $40-60 million out of TransLink’s assumed revenues

over the next three years and increases the odds of a $23 property tax hike per average home next year to cover commitments to expand transit service – could jeopardize promised service upgrades, including a new White Rock-Langley bus route. Premier Christy Clark had already rejected area mayors’ call for a vehicle levy – or any other new short-term funding source – to avoid the need for the extra $30 million

from the property tax hike, instead vowing an audit will find savings. Crilly said all the savings he is challenging TransLink to find – $15-28 million per year – should be achievable without cutting current or planned services. “We believe this is possible for them to do without service cuts,” he said. But Mayors Council vice-chair Peter Fassbender said that if sufficient savings to offset

both the fare and property tax hikes aren’t found, the mayors could consider revising the Moving Forward plan approved last year, eliminating or delaying promised service upgrades, many of them south of the Fraser. In addition to the new White Rock-Langley route, they include a new Highway 1 bus rapid transit service over the Port Mann Bridge promised when the new bridge see page A4

Ron Eves is hoping statistics that suggest a significant drop in speeding enforcement in White Rock will prompt police to take a closer look.

Campaigns mounted over enforcement

Residents reach out over speeders Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A pair of Peninsula residents – independent of one another – are calling on police to get tough on motorists speeding through White Rock and South Surrey. Ron Eves of White Rock has taken his concerns about an apparent drop in enforcement to his city’s mayor and police chief, while James Cooper of Surrey has asked that his MLA and police bring more attention to stretches of his neighbourhood’s roadways, including 8 Avenue, east of 176 Street, and 176 Street, from the border to Highway 1. Both men say enforcement of the cities’ speed

limits is lacking. Eves is hoping ICBC statistics he shared that show a drop in the number of tickets issued in White Rock over the last seven years will be enough of a nudge to inspire action. “I’m hoping they can see fit to spend a little more time on it,” Eves said Tuesday, noting the figures he received translate to frontline RCMP officers each writing less than one speeding ticket per month in 2010. “What I would like to see is just reasonable traffic enforcement for our city.” But White Rock’s top cop, Staff Sgt. Lesli Roseberry, said efforts to make the city safer focus on more than just speeding.

In an April 10 email to council, Eves and Peace Arch News, Roseberry notes that her 16 general duty officers issued more than 1,000 traffic violation tickets in 2011, for offences ranging from speeding to aggressive and impaired driving. The volume of citations “illustrates a high level of commitment to road safety,” she writes. “Of course, in the deployment of our resources, we are always seeking increased efficiencies and a level of effectiveness that surpasses expectations.” (Roseberry was not available for further comment by PAN deadline Wednesday.) see page A10

There may have been plenty of donations prior to that time, which significantly includes when UBC expanded to include the Kelowna campus. Community colleges, including Kwantlen (which is now Kwantlen Polytechinc University), have sent numerous representatives to such partisan events. It is important to note that many active BC Liberals have been named to boards of postsecondary institutions as well, and there have been other connections between the party and the institutions. Both the BC Liberal party, which is returning Hurd’s donations to SFU, and Advanced Education Minister Naomi Yamamoto say tax dollars should not go towards political parties. They are correct. In fact, this issue is proving a thorn in the side of the current Alberta government, during the provincial election campaign underway there. Public institutions have donated to the ruling Alberta Progressive Conservatives. However, Hurd should not be viewed by the public as some sort of transgressor or pariah. He was doing what many others were doing – and what he was paid to do. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

news No comments from former MLA or Kwantlen personnel

Party donations not limited to just SFU Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

Simon Fraser University’s Wilf Hurd is not the only university external relations director to attend a partisan political fundraiser, Peace Arch News has learned. Kwantlen Polytechnic University sent representatives to BC Liberal party fundraisers but may not have violated party guidelines that forbid contributions from publicly funded institutions. Mary Jane Stenberg, the university’s executive director of external affairs in the office of the president, has on more than one occasion attended an annual fundraiser organized by Rich Coleman, the veteran Fort Langley-Aldergrove Liberal MLA, Minister of Energy and Mines and Minister Responsible for Housing. Other Kwantlen representatives

have also attended the same event, PAN has determined. Coleman, who was first elected in 1996, usually holds the gala event in November. Participants purchase tickets, either for individual seats or full tables, usually for around $100 per person. At press time, neither Stenberg, Coleman or the university had responded to PAN requests for clarification about Kwantlen’s involvement, specifically whether the university paid for tickets and tables, directly or indirectly. While the practice is not illegal, the BC Liberal party has a policy against accepting contributions from taxpayer-funded institutions like universities. Liberal party executive director Chad Pederson told PAN that a check of party records shows the donation was made by Stenberg as

Last year, she travelled to China and India on the B.C. Premier’s Trade Mission to Asia. Hurd was first elected as MLA for Surrey-White Rock in 1991, and was re-elected in 1996. He was opposition critic for forests and universities, then stepped down in 1997 to run federally.

Changes in store at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre

PriceSmart to take over Zellers pharmacy files Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

A sale of Zellers pharmacies announced in March will mean the shutdown of the chain store pharmacy in Semiahmoo Shopping Centre by early May. Clients of the Zellers outlet have been told their files will be transferred to the pharmacy of the PriceSmart Foods store located in the same mall over the next few weeks. It’s the result of a deal to sell off Zellers pharmacy businesses in B.C. and Alberta, including all patient prescription files. The buyer is the B.C.-based Overwaitea Food Group (OFG), parent company of Save-On-Foods, Overwaitea Foods, Pric-

eSmart Foods, Cooper’s Foods, Urban Fare and Bulkley Valley Wholesale. The sale agreement also includes pharmacies operated at Bay stores in both provinces. Overwaitea Food Group Director of Communications Julie Dickson told Peace Arch News the switchover at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre will be completed in the near future. “In keeping with BC College of Pharmacists regulations, patient files are being transferred to us in early May by Zellers and they’ll be notifying all these clients in the next few weeks, to ensure they’re aware of the transfer,” Dickson said in a Tuesday,

April 10 email in response to a PAN query. Dickson said the employees of the Zellers pharmacy would not be transferred with the files. “....our pharmacy team is fully staffed, but we’re always open to receiving applications and if we get an opening, we’d certainly give them utmost consideration,” Dickson said. The announcement of the pharmacies’ sale comes after the owner of the Zellers chain, the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC), announced in January it had reached a $1.8 billion deal to sell 189 stores to the Target chain of stores in the U.S. The Semiahmoo Shopping Centre Zellers was not included in the sale.

It is one of 84 unsold stores that were expected to continue operating as Zellers outlets while HBC considers its options. When the sale to Target was announced, there was speculation the American retailer would want to sell its Canadian pharmacy customer files to ease the conversion of Zellers stores into Target outlets. If Target kept the files, it would have to keep filling prescriptions while it was closing down stores and remodeling them. The pharmacy sale deal HBC negotiated with OFG in B.C. and Alberta covers all Zellers stores, however, not just the ones sold to Target.

10 per cent fare hike still planned from page A1 opens, a new B-Line express bus down King George Boulevard in Surrey, generally increased bus service in the region and upgrades to SkyTrain stations on the Expo Line. “The issue becomes, where do we go from here and do you cut back in the plan?” Fassbender said. “Does it make sense to open the Port Mann and not to have the dedicated buses to run on the dedicated bus lanes? If that happens there’s going to be a huge hue and cry from south of the Fraser.” Crilly’s ruling only covers TransLink’s plan to raise cash fares and FareSaver ticket prices beyond the rate of inflation. It is still free to

raise monthly pass prices. And cash fares will still rise – TransLink has the power to lift them two per cent each year without the commissioner’s approval. Since they haven’t gone up since 2008, an increase of up to 10 per cent next year is still going ahead, lifting one-zone fares 25 cents to $2.75 and three-zone fares 50 cents to $5.50. FareSavers are to remain frozen. Crilly noted TransLink is also struggling against other revenue challenges, including lowerthan-expected cash flows from its fuel tax that pose a “threat from another flank.” Nor does it change the two cent per litre increase in the gas tax to 17 cents in the region that took

effect April 1. That increase was legislated by the provincial government last fall at the mayors’ request, to generate $40 million a year dedicated to ensuring the Evergreen Line to Coquitlam is built. The next step will be up to TransLink, which is expected to bring forward a new financial plan that takes into account the denial of the fare hike and soft gas tax revenues, which could yield $100 million less than anticipated over three years. Area mayors are also expected to decide within the next week whether they want to shelve some of the promised service expansion, if necessary, to avert the property tax hike.

Father willing to wait for justice from page A1 “It’s not going to help our daughter or our situation. Our real goal is, I hope the court does the right thing, (which is) a deterrent that will stop those next people from getting behind that wheel.” Since Kassandra’s death, the Kaulius family has been pushing for stiffer impaired-driving penalties, including an automatic two-year driving suspension.

And if that person is impaired and involved in an accident, the family wants a minimum of a five-year jail sentence. RCMP Cpl. Barb Creighton said the case was extremely complicated and the Surrey RCMP’s Criminal Collision Investigation Team is still working on the file. The investigation required a re-enactment of the crash and resulted in more than 2,000 pages of disclosures to Crown counsel.

Victor Kaulius said the wait wasn’t easy, but it was worth it. “It goes without saying, we’d like everything done within the next day of my daughter’s death, but that’s not how it works,” he said. “I would rather it take longer and their report (to Crown) was accurate and they’ve done the right thing.” As of Wednesday, a date for Warren’s court appearance had not been scheduled.

At last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public hearing, Gary Kennedy told the politicians he and his wife, Janet, â&#x20AC;&#x153;never imaginedâ&#x20AC;? needing to spend more than $40,000 to establish safe access to the 15168 Columbia Ave. home they bought in May 2011. But poor visibility when trying to leave the property from a steeply sloped driveway left them no choice but to ask for a development variance permit that would enable two parking pads to be set on city right-of-way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Speeding cars and traffic make exiting from our property fairly hazardous,â&#x20AC;? Kennedy said. He noted the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two previous owners usually chose to park across the street, and that about 80 per cent of properties on the south side of the block have encroached on city property. Allowing that practice to continue without regulation or penalty was a concern noted by Vidal Street resident â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and 2011 council candidate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bruce McWilliam.

McWilliam writes. Paul Stanton, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of planning and development services, told council the changes, which would include a retaining wall, â&#x20AC;&#x153;will provide a safer, more level entrance to the road from this location.â&#x20AC;?

Kennedy said feedback he has received from neighbours has been positive, however, Vern Perry, who lives three properties east of the Kennedys, told council he was concerned the change could further impair visibility. Kennedy told Peace Arch News Tuesday that he received word April 5 that his variance application had been approved. Now, the couple need a right-of-way permit to complete the work, he said.

True intermediary needs impartiality

herever one stands on the current teachers’ dispute, it must be recognized that it is crucial for all sides that the mediator appointed should be considered by all parties to be independent and impartial at the outset. Unfortunately for upcoming negotiations – already a potential minefield – there are serious flaws in the optics of the B.C. government’s appointment of Charles Jago as mediator, at an estimated cost to taxpayers of $2,000 per day . A former president of the University of Northern B.C. and author of a 2006 report on education in the province, Jago has been faulted by the BC Teachers Federation as a former contributor to the BC Liberals’ war chest – to the tune of $500 in 2007 and the same again in 2010. Jago has explained the amounts represent tickets purchased for fundraising golf tournaments, as though that somehow made them less significant than straight contributions to the BC Liberal cause. But contributions – and generous ones – they were. The public may have a hard time believing one would dish out that kind of money for something one doesn’t endorse, and Jago’s presence at such fundraising events implies, at the very least, some philosophic alignment with the party. It is true the BCTF is of a mind to find fault with Jago’s background and the circumstances of his appointment – hardly surprising considering the rancor surrounding Education Minister George Abbott’s introduction of Bill 22, which imposed the current cooling off period and mediation. But one can only imagine the sound and fury that would have been heard had a left-wing government appointed a mediator who had made such contributions to the BCTF or NDP. And now comes the admission from Abbott that Jago both saw – and suggested changes to – Bill 22 before it became law, even before the BCTF had a chance to submit its own suggestions for mediator. It is pointless to argue, as Abbott has done, that the sections Jago viewed of the draft bill pertained only to his terms of reference and his mandate. That he contributed to any of it clearly compromises the process – in the same way as discussion of evidence of a criminal case among jurors, however innocuous, is deemed sufficient cause to declare a mistrial. Given the plummeting popularity for the BC Liberals – and what many see as the yawning credibility gap for the provincial government – such blunders do nothing to improve their chances of being re-elected.

Who could possibly need 36 (plus one more as a bonus!) ballpoint pens? For that matter, who uses pens anymore? Certainly not for writing letters! Grocery lists, maybe. Imagine how many grocery lists you could write with 36 ballpoint pens. But if you shop at the mega-warehouse, then you probably only do a half-dozen grocery lists a year, since you buy enough supplies in one go to last two months. Maybe it’s just me.

Our community Economy weak gets your help …when it suits Editor: White Rock’s Extreme Weather Shelter volunteers – 23 of them – gathered for a meal last week to a great round of applause for their devotion over the winter in providing hospitality to our most vulnerable neighbours. Some volunteers were from First United Church, some from other churches and the community. The shelter was open at First United for 64 nights between November and March. Thirty-seven different individuals stayed, the majority men but some women. From one to 12 people were guests, with the average number of six to eight per night. At the shelter, we provide a safe, warm, hospitable night’s sleep during the coldest of weather conditions, preventing frostbite or even death. The volunteers do a remarkable job. They get up at 6 a.m. to provide for our guests and turn up late into the evening with a hot meal, some clean clothes as required, and a friendly familiar face. One volunteer, on a cold winter’s day, went to the recycling depot because she knew that’s where one of our guests/friends turns up. She wanted to be sure that he knew we were open. Others cook and set out a nutritious stew. Dick Avison does a terrific job of co-ordinating the shelter along with Peter Fedos, manager of Hyland House, our partner and advocate with BC Housing – which helps to fund the program. We want to say thanks so much to the community for your interest and support. You ask about the shelter, donate bedding and clothing and have donated money and materials this winter for the building of a shower at First United Church. The shower is almost complete and will be launched in the fall, along with a new biweekly hot-meal program for low-income people at First United Church. It has taken some years for people in the Peninsula to “get it” that the poor and homeless actually live here and are our neighbours. We can be encouraged that so many people attended the all-candidates forum on affordable housing during the civic elections in November, and that all of the candidates dedicated themselves to moving forward the city’s Affordable Housing Strategy. It is one thing to care for people in their vulnerability; it is another thing to develop programs, strategies and structural solutions to longterm needs of ordinary people: for safe and adequate housing, for meaningful services to address addictions and mental illness and for basic nutritious accessible food. Together, we can make a difference. Thanks for your interest. Thanks for your help. Thanks for your ongoing awareness of the needs of your neighbours. Thanks for being community together. Rev. Joan McMurtry, First United Church, White Rock

Editor: Don’t be confused about who’s mismanaging our province. BC Liberals buy expensive ads bragging to their business friends that they are creating new jobs and keeping the economy strong. In reality, we see mismanagement and an increase in part-time employment only. Here is a short list of taxpayers’ money wasted: generic drugs costing more; mining company investment flop; expensive, empty convention centre; a not-soretractable roof; millions of court costs for criminals; overrun of Olympics; HST costs; RCMP salary increases unknowingly dropping on municipal heads; and, last but not least, millions for nasty ads against their own employees, teachers. Never mind that ministers in the

last while, have given themselves as much as 40 per cent increases. Finally, there is the ‘friend’ mediator at a cost of $2,000 per day. The latter will oblige to keep teacher salaries at ‘sub-zero’ because, when it suits, the economy is weak, while average weekly earnings in the private sector in B.C. are up 3.2 per cent, as reported by Statistics Canada.

Dim lights lead to more carbon Editor: Re: Earth Hour power savings dim, April 5. Most of B.C.’s power is hydrogenerated, and burning candles produces more CO2 and carbon than leaving the lights on. And let’s not forget that turning off the lights and lighting several candles can often lead to romance,

which often leads to sex, which often leads to making more people, which undeniably leads to even more CO2 and climate change. Jerry Steinberg, Surrey

Unwilling to offer me a job Editor: Discrimination. Canadians seem to think that I – a recent immigrant – should exist on no money and no food. You have never offered me a job.

Bruce Blake, White Rock Editor’s note: In 2008, Peace Arch News reported on the letter-writer, an Australian-trained aeronautics engineer, who at that time was unable to find work in his field in B.C., Washington, California and the U.K.

A Surrey taxi driver who was convicted of sexually assaulting a teen has been sentenced to 18 months in jail. Wasim Malik was called to pick up a 17-year-old girl and her friend from a Surrey house party in April 2009. The pair, who had had both been drinking, didn’t have money but a friend in Langley said he’d pay when they got there. When they arrived, however, there was no one at the house and no party. The girls begged the driver to take them back home to Surrey. He dropped the victim’s friend off in Cloverdale and then took the 17-year-old to his home in the Fraser Heights neighbourhood. She asked to use the washroom and when she came out, Malik was undressed and tried to kiss her and force her to perform oral sex. When she refused, she said Malik said “Please baby, you owe me for the cab.” The girl eventually squirmed free and ran out of the house to a coffee shop. Her mom came and police were

called. Malik never denied the interaction took place, but said it was consensual and that the teen had offered sexual favours in payment for the cab fare. The judge, however, did not buy the driver’s story and he was found guilty last October. In sentencing Malik in New Westminster Supreme Court last month, Justice Murray Blok said the cabbie was in a position of trust in relation to his young passenger. “She was not only vulnerable because of her youth but also because, as I find, she was still affected by the alcohol she had consumed earlier in the night,” Blok wrote in his reasons for sentencing posted online. “She was entitled to expect that she would be transported safely to her destination without the driver taking advantage of her vulnerability. “All women – all people, for that matter, but women in particular – must be able to feel safe in a taxicab.” Malik will also serve two years probation following his sentence. - with files from CTV

Residents advised to lobby police from page A1 Eves, an engineering consultant who grew up in Crescent Beach, doesn’t dispute that the detachment’s crew does a good job overall. But when it comes to tackling speeding, they could do more, he said. Mayor Wayne Baldwin told PAN that while he appreciates Eves’ efforts to gather the information, he believes it is unfair to use the statistics to draw the conclusion that enforcement is lacking. It could be that more warnings are being given, or more work is being done by community policing members to address the issue, he said. “There’s an assumption there that because there’s less ticketing, there’s less time being spent on it,” Baldwin said Tuesday. “We have information from our RCMP detachment that what we’re doing is OK. It sounds like there’s a difference of opinion there. I think we have to go with the information we’re provided by our professionals.” The ICBC statistics Eves received show police in White Rock issued a total of 212 speeding tickets in 2011, down from 292 in 2005. The drops he’s most concerned about are in the number of tickets issued for excessive speed (three in 2011 compared to 10 in 2005) and for speeding in playground or school zones (combined numbers indicate no such tickets were issued in 2005; one ticket

Teenagers organize 5K run to raise money for education overseas

Southridge students run for every kid Dan Ferguson

Staff Reporter

n May 11, more than 300 students at South Surrey’s Southridge School will take part in the annual TREK (Teens Running for Every Kid) 5K run to raise funds for schools in impoverished countries. The day before the event, five of those students will prepare by walking the route that starts in the parking lot of the 680-student K-to-12 private school at 2656 160 St. The members of the Southridge TREK organizing committee – Maria Dindo, Shania McDonald, Jenni Larose, Hailey Myers and Kiran Mangat – will set up markers and tables and organize the prizes. It promises to be a long day for the group of Grade 11 and 12 students. Last year’s TREK organizers started prepping around 7:30 a.m. the day before the race and didn’t finish until 8 p.m. Mangat, 17, the head of the TREK committee, says they started working on the event in October. The students have lined up the necessary permits and just ordered the first run of 250 T-shirts for event participants at a cost of $1,500. Since there were 360 participants last year, Mangat is sure more shirts will probably be needed as registrations come in, and so will prizes for the raffle that is part of the fundraiser. “We’re always looking for sponsors,” Mangat told Peace Arch News between classes last Thursday. The annual event was started in 2005. So far, it has raised $30,000 for the Free The Children charity, money that has gone to build five schools in Kenya and India. This year, Mangat said, some senior Southridge students

will have the opportunity to visit the Maasai Mara region of southwestern Kenya to see for themselves the impact their campaign has had for some African students. Fees for this year’s TREK run are $20 in advance and $25 on the day. Participation is restricted to Southridge students, but donations are welcome. To make a pledge, email kmangat@southridge.bc.ca

Kids helping kids Free The Children is an international charity and youth movement founded in 1995 by then-12-year-old Craig Kielburger. It’s stated goal is to “free children from poverty and exploitation and free young people from the notion that they are powerless to affect positive change in the world.” Kielburger – according to the online history posted at www. freethechildren.com – was moved to take action by a Toronto Star newspaper article about the murder of a 12-year-old Pakistani factory worker who had spoken against child labour. Soon after, he formed Free The Children with a group of Grade 7 classmates. Kielburger made headlines later that year when he visited Southeast Asia to get a personal look at the issue and managed to arrange a meeting with thenprime minister Jean Chrétien. Largely youth-funded, Free The Children describes itself as “the world’s largest network of children helping children through education.” It operates in 45 countries including Kenya, Ecuador, India, Nicaragua, Mexico, and China. So far, it has built more than 600 schools and school rooms in developing countries which educate an estimated 55,000 children a day.

White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society proudly presents:

Playoff party repeat planned Kevin Diakiw Black Press

While the City of Vancouver is shutting down the idea of erecting big screen TVs for the Stanley Cup playoffs, Surrey is forging ahead with party plans similar to last year’s for the final series, should the Canucks make it that far. Vancouver is toning down public events after the hockey riot last year that saw cars overturned and set on fire, stores looted and widespread mayhem after the Canucks lost Game 7 – and the Stanley Cup – to the Boston Bruins on June 15. Of the 78 people charged with riot-related offences as of March 29, 25 were from Surrey. For the 2012 season, the City of Surrey is planning a celebration featuring big screen TVs at Central City Plaza (near the entrance to SFU in North Surrey) in what the city is pitching as a family-

friendly event. Surrey will set up a large screen TV, while a DJ is expected to keep the crowd pumped at intermissions. Face painters, stilt walkers and other attractions will be added for kids. The gates will open at the celebration site an hour before the puck drops. People should expect to have their bags searched at the gates. Laurie Cavan, Surrey’s general manager of parks and recreation, said the turnouts last year at Central City Plaza averaged about 5,000 per game. That number grew to up to 8,000 by Game 7 of the final series. Meanwhile, about 10 kilometres to the southwest, crowds are already beginning to gather on game nights at 72 Avenue and Scott Road, an impromptu location for street celebrations. During last year’s playoffs, the size of the crowds at the intersec-

Saturday, May 5th, 2012 7:30 pm

tion swelled to about 2,500. The big challenge at that intersection, police say, has been controlling traffic and knowing when to shut down local roads. A key concern is making sure revellers don’t get hit by cars. “Crowds will gradually grow as Canucks progress through the playoff series,” said Surrey RCMP Sgt. Drew Grainger. “So we’re reactivating a robust and comprehensive plan dedicating police resources to ensure public safety, and making sure pedestrians and vehicles don’t come to an unfortunate meeting.” The party at SFU won’t begin until the final round of the playoffs, should the Canucks make it that far. A key enforcement strategy at that event will be keeping booze out of the site. The playoffs began last night with the Canucks facing the Los Angeles Kings. Game 2 in the series will be Friday at 7 p.m.

lifestyles White Rock donations for Third World eye care were the highest of any practice in Canada

Optometrists have a generous eye for charity The doctors, clients and staff at the White Rock Optometry Clinic dug deep to donate $28,420 to support eye care in Third World countries last year, more than anyone else. “Their 2011 donations are the highest of any practice in Canada - thanks in part to the doctors who generously match all patient donations to us,” said Jane Ebbern, who speaks for the Optometry Giving Sight campaign in Canada. “Many thanks to everyone at White Rock Optometry for their exemplary support,” Ebbern added. The clinic, at 1021656 Martin Dr., was responsible for roughly one out of every $10 raised by Canadians for the international program operated by the World Optometry Foundation, the International Centre for Eyecare Education and the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness. A total of $295,311.08 was raised. The 2011 totals were announced last Thursday. A message of appreciation sending out a “huge thank you to all our patients who made donations to Third World eye care this year” was posted on the White Rock Optometry Clinic website. “Thank you for making a difference in lives of people in developing countries,” the message added. Optometry Giving Sight has distributed $3 million to projects that provided basic eye care services to more than 1.7 million people, trained 1,550 mid-level eye-care personnel and set up 100 vision

centres, eye clinics and schools of optometry. The program operates

in developing countries such as Malawi; Mozambique; Tanzania;

Eritrea; South Africa; Zambia; Sri Lanka; East Timor; Vietnam;

China; Australia; Papua New Guinea; India; Nicaragua;

Mexico; Haiti; Peru and Afghanistan. For more information

T3 RECOVERY MATTRESSES

Ironman Mattresses with Celiant® and Cellitex® have been proven in clinical test to reduce pain, increase oxygen levels, and help balance body temperature. Each of these results can have added benefits, including faster healing, increased performance, better quality sleep and improved overall wellness; all of which can help alleviate the symptoms of arthritis and peripheral vascular disease often associated with diabetes. The key to Celliant® lies in its ability to absorb and store electromagnetic (energy) emissions from the human body and release them where they are reabsorbed into the skin and deep muscle tissue, they act as catalysts for natural, biological processes resulting in enhanced oxygen levels, and more balanced body temperature during sleep, rest or physical activity.

lifestyles Top fundraiser for MS has a personal stake in the battle

MS facts: • Canadians have one of the highest rates of multiple sclerosis in the world. • It is the most common neurological disease affecting young adults in Canada. • Three people a day are diagnosed with MS in Canada. • Women are more prone to being diagnosed with MS than men. - MS Society of Canada

Honouring her mother Dan Ferguson

Staff Reporter

hen she was around eight years old, Lori Thompson found out why her mother, Rita, had begun using a cane. “I knew something was wrong,” Thompson recalls. She and her older sister, Lisa were introduced to Rita Thompson’s neurologist, who then explained their mother has a progressive form of multiple sclerosis, an incurable disease of the central nervous system that makes a person increasingly weak. It’s estimated the neurological disease affects 55,000-75,000 Canadians. As Rita Thompson’s condition worsened, she went from her cane to a walker and eventually a wheelchair. Her daughter says her mother has taught her a lot about tenacity and perseverance. “I have such a tremendous amount of admiration and respect for how she’s lived with this disease for 40 years.” So has her father, Gary, who has been an example of unconditional love and support, Lori Thompson says. Her parents plan to celebrate their 46th wedding anniversary this year with a trip to Lake Chelan, Wash., a favourite getaway destination. While her mother and father waged their

For 10 years, Team Rita has been one of the most successful local fundraisers for the cause. Last year, at their first-ever pub night,

Team Rita boosted their donations to more than $11,000. That sum accounted for a third of all donations raised in the White Rock area. They’re holding a second pub night this year at Baselines Pub in South Surrey, at 3001938 152 St. on Saturday, April 14, at 5 p.m.

The event is already sold out, but Thompson is still looking for sponsors willing to contribute items for a silent auction. She can be reached by email at lori@ mindfulmovement.ca “Each year, I am blown away by the amount of donations our small but tight-knit community generates,” Thompson says. “I am confident that one day we will find a cure for this disease which has affected my family’s life for years.” The MS Walk will take place on Sunday, April 29, 10 a.m. at Bayview Park in White Rock. Rita Thompson, who is now 65, will be participating in her wheelchair along the accessible route. Pledge donations can be made directly online by going to www.mswalks.ca

PESTICIDE FREE WHITE ROCK With nicer weather approaching, you may have noticed a few weeds cropping up. In 2009 the City of White Rock adopted a bylaw to regulate the cosmetic use of pesticides within the city. As per this bylaw, all properties in the city are pesticide free and do not use herbicides or pesticides. Although the City endeavours to keep weeds under control, removing all weeds by hand just isn’t feasible. Please note that our extra summer landscaping crews will soon begin their employment and will start ramping up work on City properties. We would like to take this opportunity to remind you that an occasional weed is a sign of a healthy landscape and an indication of a pesticide free environment.

For more information about this special offer, please contact the White Rock Business Improvement Association at 604.536.4958.

Canada’s electoral boundaries are set to change. Every 10 years, Canada’s electoral boundaries are reviewed and redrawn to account for movement and growth in the population. That time has come again. Ten independent commissions have been established to propose new electoral boundaries to better reflect population shifts and growth in each of the 10 provinces. As Nunavut, the Northwest Territories and the Yukon constitute one electoral district each, they don’t require federal electoral boundaries commissions. The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for B.C. will draft a proposal of the new boundaries while taking into consideration factors such as population figures, communities of identity or interest, historical patterns and geographical factors. British Columbia is set to get six new ridings as the boundaries are redrawn, with the number of MPs rising to 42 from 36. The next federal election is tentatively scheduled to be held on Oct. 19, 2015. After the commission has drafted its proposal, the new electoral map is published and members of the public are invited to comment and make suggestions. Public hearings are held, and everyone is invited to attend and provide input. After the views from the public are considered, the commission will submit a report to the House of Commons, where MPs will provide feedback that will then be reviewed by a parliamentary committee. The commission will consider the feedback from MPs and decide whether to make any final changes to its report, which is then submitted to the chief electoral officer of Canada for preparation of a document called a “representation order.” This final step allows the new electoral map of Canada to be officially implemented. The new map will be used at the first

SPRING HOME

Spring has sprung on the Peninsula

he flowers are starting to bloom on the Semiahmoo Peninsula as the last remnants of winter slowly fade away. Now is the perfect time to spruce up an old garden or add the green space you have always wanted. Whether it’s eye-catching flowers or fresh and nutritious vegetables and herbs, there is no end to what a garden can hold, regardless of space constraints. If you’re a novice or even a garden expert, there is always room to grow. Talking with your local garden expert can be the perfect way to get started. But if gardens aren’t the focus for this spring, what about your home’s interior? A project started in the spring benefits from the dry climate. If you want to start from scratch, there is no better time than now. Or simply add

a few ﬁnishing touches to a home or tweak and adjust to make it look fresh. By adding colour to your home, you can make it look fresh and inviting, without changing too much. Adding colourful pillow throws and shams to the living room can add a pop of colour that people will notice. Bold patterns can create an interesting focal point in any room as a small accent or as an accent wall. Accent features can also be used in the kitchen. Small, bright appliances can take the effort out of adding colour. And now that the sun is shining, you can focus on window treatments that will complement your home, help insulate and save money and of course, keep sun rays out when you want to sleep in.

Get your dream garden It’s time to shake off the winter blues and get ready for the vibrant colours of spring, and there is no better place to start than your garden. Whether you have a full-fledged garden or just a few potted plants on your balcony or deck, a few tips and tricks can make it look its best. Randal Atkinson, a commercial grower at West Coast Gardens, suggests using a resin-type of potting instead of traditional terra cotta planters, which can be heavy and difficult to transport. The resin pots, unlike their terra cotta counterparts, are long-lasting and lightweight, Randal said. “Resin is easy to move and handle and it will literally outlast you. They are your best bet if you don’t have actual earth,” he said. “With terra cotta, it’s not cheap, they’re easy to break and they weigh a lot. When you’re gardening, it can be tricky to move around.” West Coast Gardens has an array of styles and colours for their resin planters, which are also UV resistant, and can even custom-make a container garden using the planters to match your colour scheme. “They are compartment garden baristas,” Randal laughed. “They can do it for you, with flowers and vegetables, and get you what you want.” But if you do decide to grow your own veggies, herbs or flowers, Randal suggests getting a larger container, using top-quality potting soil which retains moisture but is porous enough that it drains. And to make your life a bit easier, Randal said using a sustained or time-released fertilizer can make all the difference. The fertilizer will only release depending on temperature, so it only releases when the plant needs it. “It’s a great gardening tip,” Randal said.

Art Knapps has a variety of potted plants. “The plants will always have it when they need it.” Over at Potters’ Nursery, Scott Pasternack says this is the perfect time to get started on pruning dormant plants, roses, bushes and perennials. “You want to look for dead, diseased, damaged limbs and sections,” he said. “Or simply trim for shape if they get too tall.” This is also the time to rearrange the garden. Because everything is dormant, it is easy to move around, add and change it up, or divide if they are too large, Scott said. Other tips to get rid of winter’s frost is by liming your lawn, using a moss killer or a moss remover product, and adding top dress with soil over-seed, he said. To improve your soil, Scott suggests adding compost or manure, and possibly lime if it’s too acidic, which you can find out with a simple PH test. Finally, adding a pop of colour is easy to do, even if you forgot to plant bulbs. “Spring is a great time to add annual see page 31

Good plans make better gardens from page 30 colour, it’s a great opportunity,” he said. Over at Selections Nursery, Lara Hunter echoes Scott’s sentiments about spring being the perfect time to create the garden of your dreams. She suggests reflecting on previous projects and figuring out what worked and what was not successful and then creating a plan. “Get started by getting inspired,” she said. “Visit a nursery and see what the possibilities are. Any space flourishes when it comes from a good plan.” With more people moving into smaller living spaces, such as condos and townhomes, there is more need to plan well. Small spaces need continuity with pops of interest, Lara said. “If there is too much going on in your space, your guests won’t know what to look at, which means they probably won’t look at anything,” she said. Instead, invest in one or two features to ensure you receive much-deserved accolades. Lara suggests taking a look at the new Vertical Garden System on display at Selections Nursery. Perfect for small spaces, the garden sys-

tem can be used as a privacy screen or garden accent, and has been created to be truly sustainable. “The plant material will last for many years, no need to change them out each season,” Lara said. The best part is you can grow fruit and vegetables without taking away space from ornamental pieces, she adds. “There are so many possibilities for our outdoor space. Start by getting inspired,” Lara said. Kerry Vanderzalm at Art Knapps suggests having fun with potted plants by using unique objects for containers. “Some of the most interesting containers are made from everyday objects,” he said. “You can use almost anything to make a creative container garden.” Kerry said he has seen everything from old shopping carts, toilet tanks and whiskey barrels to wheelbarrows and even an old boat used as a container. But if a more traditional container is what you’re looking for, something simple like a wooden box or a ceramic pot will work just fine. Keep in mind that the size, shape and colour of your container can dramaticall yaffect the look of your finished container garden, Kerry said. “Bigger is usually better, as the container is less likely to dry out during hot weather,” he said. As for potting soil mix, Kerry suggests commercial variety is the best bet as it contains no weeds or insect infestation. Also, make sure the plant is well-suited for the location, he noted. “They perform better with limited additional input such as water, chemicals and pruning,” he said. “Plants well-suited to the site will establish quickly, have a healthy root system and be happier plants overall.”

Kitchens are the heart (and stomach) of the home, where people congregate and enjoy delicious dishes and good conversation. If you’re looking to update your kitchen, there’s no better time than now. At Austin Kitchens, owner Lee Austin suggests forgetting about what is trendy and focusing on personal preference and need. Whether it’s a sleek and modern minimalist look or a more traditional style you are seeking, the most important part is finding something you love. “Ideally, the process includes us going out and looking at the existing kitchen, discussing their likes and dislikes, taking measurements and then we come up with a plan,” Lee said. “We can create a design, pick out styles and accessories in the showroom and then go from there.”

For those looking at replacing countertops, there are different options available, including granite and quartz. Both have different features that make them desirable, Lee said, adding that it all comes down the clients needs. “Our business is pretty much half granite, half quartz,” he said. “Everybody has a preference. Granite has depth and it’s a natural stone, while quartz is harder than granite, doesn’t need to be maintained and comes in some really funky colours.” Another suggestion for kitchen a renovation includes changing cabinets. Whether it’s adding a different colour or using a different grain, cabinets can be changed to complement floors and countertops. For an easier solution, adding colour is easy with small appliances. A bright appliance can be the perfect little touch.

Blind passion for spring Now that the dreary weather is set to subside, it’s time to open open the blinds or update your current ones. Lynne Morgan, owner of Budget Blinds, said that spring trends are heading in the direction of more natural and eco-friendly products. “Woven wood can be used for Roman blinds, panel tracks, or panel drape products, some are even available as roller products,” said Lynne, adding that the Signature Series Woven Wood shades are a great option. Signature series also comes with natural and eco-friendly wooden blinds, which are available in a wide range of colours and textures. “We have several brands that are ecofriendly, which means no toxic chemicals used in the production, paints or finishes,” she said. “They are even shipped in completely recyclable packaging.” Before getting started in the process of changing your window coverings, Lynne suggests establishing your budget. “It’s important that you allow a budget that will buy window treatments which will maintain or increase the value of your home,” she said. It’s also important to consider what you want your window treatments to do for the room or your house, she said. Window treatments have many different functions, including blacking out sunlight or simply controlling the amount of sun to adjust the heat and glare. Cellular blinds provide the most insulation and are the best choice for drafty windows and north-facing windows. Window film provides the best protection for your furniture and flooring from the damaging rays of the sun. It also provides heat control from the sun

Having quality blinds can cut heating costs. as it reflects back the rays coming through the window. Although shutters are one of the more expensive window treatments, good quality ones enhance the value of your home, provide insulation and sun control and an added measure of security in the home. There are solar shades available for both inside and outside the home. They come in both roll-up and snap-on forms. These blinds provide protection from the heat and glare of the sun as well as a measure of privacy, depending on the openness of the weave. One last thing to think about is safety. Lynne and the team urge homeowners to think about safety when they have pets or children in the home. The Window Covering Safety Council recommends that only cordless window products be used in homes with young children.

Show your true colours Spring is full of beautiful, colourful inspiration for those looking to change up their home. Adding some colour to the interior can be as easy as using toss cushions or adding candles to a room, said Home Again, Home Again owner Darlene Spooner. “We have candles in many colours, including yellows, reds, lime greens,” she said. “They are a great way to add a pop.” Cushions offer a dual purpose, not only providing comfort, but tying together a room with vibrant colours and bold patterns. And while the season is perfect for filling vases with flowers, for those who want an easy option that can last year-round, she suggests silk flowers. “You can get really realistic silk flowers, and you just pop them into a vase like a fresh bouquet and put them in front of a mirror to get a nice reflection,” Darlene suggested. “We have tulips that look so real, people just have to touch them!” For the living room, adding a colourful throw can completely change the look and feel of the room. Prints are the trend many people are leaning towards for the spring and summer and getting a throw in a bold print is a great start. For those who are a bit more adventerous, Darlene said there are many prints available for walls. “There are so many different inexpensive prints out there that are perfect for the spring season,” she said. The exterior of the home is another place to play with colour. People are taking the opportunity to personalize their homes more with colourful exterior accents and they’re not stopping with just a splash of paint.

Bright paint can add a great pop to a home. Homeowners are taking steps to express their personalities by adding colour to everything from their roofs to their entry doors to their window frames. One of the hottest trends for exterior enhancements is to select vinyl windows with exterior colour frames that complement the overall look of the home. Different companies offer exterior window frame colours of brick red, pine green, bronze, driftwood and chocolate that perfectly match up with the earthy colors homeowners gravitate to for home exteriors. The same colours can be drawn out further on trim elements of the home, along with being component colours of the roof and entry door. Whether it’s adding simple touches to the interior of your home, or brightening up the exterior with a unique look, colour is a great way to go.

news Region concerned Ottawa will redraw act to aid developers

Metro opposes weakening of fish-habitat rules Jeff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouver is calling on the federal government to maintain fish habitat protection rules in response to widespread fears that Ottawa is poised to greatly weaken the Fisheries Act to speed development. The concern was sparked by a leak of an internal Fisheries and Oceans Canada document last month that suggests the act’s ban on the “harmful alteration, disruption or destruction of fish habitat” may be watered down to instead “reduce the adverse effect” on fish of economic, cultural or ecological value. “We have good reason to expect this to be diluted,” Metro environment committee chair Heather Deal said. “This would be a major unravelling of habitat protection.” Fish in semi-urban streams in Metro Vancouver might be more at risk if home owners and developers are no longer barred from building walls or other works near the edges of creeks and altering the flow of water, Deal said. When major projects do go ahead that damage fish habitat – such as Vancouver’s new convention centre or the South Fraser Perimeter Road

– proponents are required to build fish habitat improvements to offset the losses. Deal said she’s concerned that mitigation process could also be lost in any changes. Habitat upgrades are now underway in Metro’s Colony Farm Regional Park to make up for losses incurred through the construction of the new Port Mann Bridge and Highway 1 widening. The motion from the environment committee still has to go to the Metro board. The new federal budget gave no clue that a gutting of the Fisheries Act is in the works, but it did pledge speedier environmental assessments – a move seen as aiding the construction of new oil pipelines across B.C. Watershed Watch Salmon Society executive director Craig Orr said conservation groups fear changes to the Fisheries Act may still be coming. “They should not be relaxing habitat protection to promote development,” he said. Orr said damage to salmon habitat would harm a broad range of species that use aquatic habitat, including insects, frogs and birds. While there’s intense public focus on major projects, particularly pipelines, he said fish habitat could be badly damaged by a plethora

of much smaller developments. “This could be a death by a thousand

cuts,” Orr said. “That’s a bigger concern – that we’ll see a large cumulative impact

by the degrading of habitat.” Development groups have long complained

that habitat protection and remediation requirements add greatly to their costs,

and note the current rules extend to ditches if salmon are able to colonize them.

Nanaimo escapee found in Surrey Chris Bush Black Press

A Nanaimo Correctional Centre inmate who fled custody while at an escorted meeting on Vancouver Island is back in custody after being found in Surrey. Howard Soloman O’Soup, 34, was escorted with other inmates from Nanaimo Correctional Centre to a March 29 treatment meeting when he gave a corrections officer the slip. Mounties picked up O’Soup in the Motel Hollywood in Surrey Thursday, according to Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. Police had received information that O’Soup might be in one of two hotels in the Surrey area, O’Brien said. When police knocked at 9155 King George Blvd., the motel room door was answered by a man unknown to them, but they saw O’Soup inside. “Members went to the hotel, did a door-knock and saw Mr. O’Soup, who they recognized from his photo and a press release, sitting on a bed,” O’Brien said. “They took him into custody without incident. He was transported to Surrey detachment cells to be held for court.” O’Soup – who is to serve the remainder of his 547-day sentence – is scheduled to appear in Surrey Provincial Court Tuesday.

Aidan Sank trying to make a name for himself as an actor in New York

‘On the cusp of opportunity’ in big city Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

atch out for Aidan Sank – he’s a young actor and singer who’s going

places. That shouldn’t surprise anyone who’s encountered him in school productions of Annie and Les Miserables (Elgin Park Secondary) or local community productions such as Thoroughly Modern Millie (Impromptu Theatre), Ha! – and even this writer’s The Dawn Patrol (White Rock Players Club). They’re likely to agree that Sank has always displayed a maturity beyond his years, a highly intelligent and conscientious approach to text and characterization plus the allimportant drive and energy to succeed. Only 17 when he won a coveted spot in the prestigious Circle In The Square theatre school in New York City – where he cut his theatrical teeth in workshop productions of Shakespeare and Chekhov – the personable Elgin Park grad, now 20, says he’s continuing to love life in the Big Apple. That includes everything from walking in Central Park and hanging out at the Metropolitan Museum to checking out interesting restaurants in the West Village – not to mention a day gig as a host at the historic Monkey Bar in Manhattan’s Elysee Hotel, formerly a hangout for Tallulah Bankhead and other Jazz Age celebrities. Most of all, he said, he loves the life of a professional actor – and Sank has managed to attract attention, and book acting jobs, even in New York’s fast-paced, competitive environment. “It’s like the song says – ‘if you can make it there, you’ll make it anywhere’,” he said. “It’s good to be a small fish in a big pond, rather than a big fish in a small pond. This profession lends itself to laziness, so I try to keep busy auditioning and doing all the things you have to do, like keeping your website current.” He got his first gig – a supporting character in an off-offBroadway production of Romeo and Juliet – the day after he graduated Circle In The Square, and he’s been keeping busy since

Aidan Sank is trying to carve out a career as an actor in New York. Above right, Sank in an Elgin Park production of Les Miserables. (even a scheduled phone interview had to be pushed back slightly to accommodate an audition opportunity). “I’ve done five shows since I graduated,” he said. “Four out of five were classical, and three of those have been Shakespeare.” He’s keeping connected to his spiritual side as a regular attendee at his synagogue, and he’s making every effort to stay physically fit by playing squash – even though water polo (which he

used to compete in and coach at a provincial level) has had to take a back seat to his acting ambitions. The only downside, he says, is missing his parents and his two younger sisters in South Surrey – even though he keeps in almost daily touch through Skype. “I’m very close to my family, and it’s hard to be that far away – I miss being the protective older brother,” he said. “I never foresaw myself being one who would travel so far from home.”

children’s shows – an exploration of the Cinderella myth in different cultures – a much more rewarding experience than he was expecting. “I was acting for 800 kids, five days a week for five weeks,” he said. “Although I didn’t feel like I was being the serious actor I was trained to be, it was a wonderful feeling that you were having an effect on children in that way.” He’s also warmed to volunteer work he has been doing with Our Time, an organization devoted to working with preteens who stutter. “I fell in love with working with kids,” he said. “It keeps you honest. Acting can be a very selfish profession, but this is something that allows you to shift focus from yourself to other people.” File photo Sank admits the biggest hurdle Sank also keeps in touch with ahead of him, as a Canadian several good friends from high trying to break into mainstream school, and former drama teacher theatre and film in the U.S., is Stan Engstrom, he said. securing a green card, without If his current life doesn’t which Actors Equity work is off sound busy enough, Sank is also limits for him. involved with the management It will involve demonstrating and marketing for a New Yorkthat he is “an artist of based wedding band – Madison extraordinary ability” and that 35 – for whom he helped set up a he has good relationships with Facebook page and just finished production companies that will filming a promo video. continue to offer him work.

Surrey’s Vaisakhi event second largest in world Rick Kupchuk Black Press

With a record-breaking crowd in excess of 150,000 a year ago, the annual Surrey Vaisakhi Parade is now considered the largest on the globe outside of India. Vaisakhi occurs in mid-April and coincides with the time of first crop harvesting in Punjab and marks the anniversary of one of Sikhism’s most important religious events, the establishment of Khalsa in 1699. Attendance at Surrey’s annual Vaisakhi event – now in its 12th year and co-ordinated by the Gurdwara Sahib Dasmesh Darbar temple in Newton – has usually hovered between 80,000 and 100,000. But a couple of factors led to the increase last year, one of

More than 150,000 people attended last year’s Vaisakhi parade. which parade spokesperson Moninder Singh Bual expects will be duplicated. “A big reason is the parades in Vancouver

and Surrey are now on different days, so people who had to choose one or the other now do both,” Bual said. Vancouver’s Vaisakhi celebration takes place April 14, while Surrey’s is on April 21. “If the weather holds, definitely we expect to have as many people this year,” Bual said. The parade is set to begin at approximately 9:30 a.m. and conclude at 4 p.m., beginning and ending at the Gurdwara Sahib Dasmesh Darbar Temple(12885 85 Ave.). With a variety of floats and community groups in the procession, the parade heads south on 128 Street, west along 82 Avenue, south on 124 Street, continues along 75 Avenue and 76 Avenue, before going north again on 128 Street back to the temple grounds.

Road trip tips: The serious side of fun vehicles. RVs. More to love, more to protect. The equipment and contents of your motor home are not included in the declared value of the vehicle. Collision, Comprehensive, and Specified Perils coverage takes care of physical damage to the vehicle as well as contents (up to a certain limit). Additional optional coverage should include emergency vacation coverage, additional contents coverage and insurance on permanent s t r u c t u r e s related to your INSURANCE r e c r e a t i o n a l OUTLOOK vehicle.

Garage and storage doors are rolling open across the province as the warming weather brings out our seasonal vehicles, or motorbikes and RVs. But before you hit the road, you need to make sure your paperwork is in order and your recreational vehicles, loved ones and belongings are protected. Here are some tips on making sure you have fun with complete peaceof-mind. Get coverage. R Vs and motorbikes are not insured like regular passenger AUTO vehicles. You’ll INSURANCE need to determine WITH the worth and LORI insure them TAYLOR accordingly. For seasonal vehicles, the declared value becomes the policy limit and the premium is based on this value. It's important to reconsider the value every year: Is the vehicle worth more because of modifications, or worth less due to depreciation and additional wear and tear? Discuss this with a BCAA Insurance Advisor when you purchase or renew your policy. Get it right the first time. The right coverage is critical. A basic ICBC policy does not provide coverage for physical damage or higher limits of liability. You may want to consider purchasing Collision, and Comprehensive coverage to ensure that your seasonal vehicles have physical damage coverage.

Cover the map. While your RV or motorbike coverage is valid in Canada and the continental U.S., you need to arrange separate coverage if you’re driving it to Mexico. Be sure to plan in advance. Cover your options. It's also advantageous to buy a policy that spans the whole year, so that at the end of the season, you don't need to buy special storage insurance for your RV or motorbike. Purchase adequate insurance and roadside assistance for your seasonal vehicle before you set off on your road trip. The insurance specialists at BCAA will give you peace-of-mind by ensuring you get the right coverage to suit your needs. Lori Taylor is an Insurance Advisor at BCAA.

Musicians and dancers will be performing on temporary stages alonge the parade route. Road closures will be in effect from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and drivers can expect delays if travelling between 72 and 88 Avenues, and Scott Road and King George Boulevard. Those attending the parade are encouraged to use transit. “The only problem last year, with so many people, was that there were bottlenecks along the route,” said Bual. “So we’re asking people to be patient, allow for some extra time. Enjoy the stages along the way.” The day is capped off with a big fireworks display around 10 p.m. off the roof of the Gurdwara.

“Ya got trouble – right here in River City!” exclaims flim-flam musical-instrument salesman Harold Hill, seeking to rile up the occupants of that staid Iowa community, circa 1912. The arrival of a pool table at a local establishment is just the opening he needs for his assertion that corruption of the town’s youth – and general moral degradation – are sure to follow, in Meredith Willson’s Broadway classic, The Music Man. Hill’s solution? Establish a youth band, of course – with instruments, equipment, music and instruction gladly supplied (at cost) by himself. That Hill has a nasty habit of making such promises in small communities – and skipping town as soon as the merchandise arrives – is a minor detail that does not deter the voluble ‘Professor’ from making his pitch and winning over young and old alike. The enduring piece of Americana, equally well-loved outside the U.S., is the latest production in Earl Marriott Secondary’s proud list of musicals – with 7:30 p.m. performances April 18-21 and 25-28 at the school’s Wheelhouse Theatre (to reserve tickets, call 604-542-2181).

Classic play ’relevant to 2012’ from page A45 but we had so much fun watching the presentations I think we all got into it.” And there are valid parallels between life in 1912 and the present day, Radcliffe notes, adding that both represent transitional periods of great change in technology and communication. “The Music Man is about consumerism and people being able to order goods; the Wells Fargo wagon bringing them into town was a big thing,” she said. “It’s also relevant to 2012 in the way communication was changing – the speed that people were able to communicate, and how it impacted on young people.” The role of Marian Paroo – the town librarian, who is instantly suspicious of Hill, particularly when he takes a romantic interest – is played by Marika Stanger (Juliet in last year’s Romeo and Juliet).

“I think she could seem very stereotyped and easy to play, but she’s quite difficult,” Stanger said. “There are so many levels to why she is so distrustful of everyone. “But even though she doesn’t have lots of friends, and the people in town may not have much respect for her, she doesn’t want them to be conned by some fasttalking travelling man.” As the infamous Hill, Brett McCrady said part of his job is to get across the genuine excitement the salesman feels in being a catalyst for change – even though it often seems indistinguishable from a desire to separate people from their money. Also crucial to the role is being comfortable with Hill’s flow of patter and extended spiels, such as the famous Ya Got Trouble number.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

New team to host international competition throughout the year

Guardians aim to preserve rugby tradition Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

n an effort to preserve and celebrate the game’s amateur roots, a new rugby side – aptly named the Guardians – has taken root in Surrey and White Rock. The Guardian XV project was the brainchild of some longtime Bayside Rugby alums, and aims to keep the game fun – on and off the field – for up-and-coming players while also providing top-notch competition. “The Guardians program is based on all the good reasons why we play rugby. It’s about camaraderie, character and a game that people have always played for reasons other than money,” said Guardians’ director of rugby Andy Blackburn, who is also a member of the Bayside Sharks. The ever-changing ❝We don’t want roster will pay no mind to club players to be affiliations, Blackburn afraid to try new said – in the team’s first game last week, things – we the roster included want them to Bayside and Surrey play entertaining Beavers players, among others – and rugby.❞ will largely consist of Andy Blackburn young players from director of rugby B.C. and Washington. It’s based on the model of the Barbarians FC club, an international team – made up of players from many countries – that travels the world playing other international sides. Older rugby alums are also key to the program, Blackburn said, and will be recruited as coaches and volunteers. The Guardians team, Blackburn said, has been in the works for about a year, and is an attempt to bring a sense of fun and a barnstorming attitude back to the sport, which can, he admits, often be over-coached, especially at the younger levels. “Players today train and play based on a professional model, whether they’re playing professionally or at the club level,” Blackburn said. “If you can make a living doing it, then great, but like any sport, only a small percentage of players ever do that, so we’d like to preserve the sports’ amateur ethos. “We don’t want players to be afraid to try new things – we want them to play entertaining rugby. Maybe instead of kicking a penalty, just run with (the ball) – even if it ends up as a complete disaster. We want

Members of Bayside Rugby are now involved in a new initiative, the Guardians XV rugby team, that also involves players from other clubs. them to throw caution to the wind a little bit, be creative.” The Guardians, coached by Bayside and Earl Marriott Secondary coach Adam Roberts, played its first game Saturday at South Surrey Athletic Park, losing a tight 8-5 tilt to a touring team from Francis Douglas Memorial College in New Zealand. Guardians’ lone try came in the first half

when fullback Clay Ross, after taking a pass from Liam Beaulieu, raced 50 yards down field, spun out of a tackle and scored to give the home team a brief 5-3 lead. On Saturday, the Guardians return to the field – this time at Sullivan Heights Park – for a 4 p.m. game against Westlake Grammar School, also of New Zealand. Blackburn said plans are in the works for

the Guardians to host a few English teams in July, plus a few U18 international squads. As well, the Guardians may hit the road for a tour of their own in the future. “We want to pit our boys against the best competition we can find, so this is a perfect opportunity for them to play top international teams and see how they stack up,” Blackburn said.

Pair back with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Caps Two up-andcoming South Surrey soccer stars are back in the Vancouver Whitecapsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fold, after helping Canada win a silver medal at 2012 CONCACAF U20 womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championships last month. Striker Jenna Richardson and midfielder Nicole Setterlund were both added to the Whitecaps United Soccer League W-League roster April 5, along with midfielder Jaclyn Sawicki of Coquitlam. All three were part of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team that finished second at U20 championships in Panama in March, thus qualifying for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FIFA U20 World Cup. Richardson, a Semiahmoo Soccer alum, returns for her third season with the Whitecaps; last season she scored five goals in eight appearances with the team. She has also starred with the Oregon State University Beavers the last two seasons.

Canada Cup event gets B.C. bucks Burnaby. Newman said the Canada Cup outgrew Bonsor because the Olympic Games allowed it to generate more attention and revenue by moving to the oval. At the last Canada Cup, she said, there were 7,000 students there during the day filling up the bleachers during the week and then sell-out crowds on the weekend. The new money is coming from the 2010 Sport and Arts Legacy fund. B.C. Wheelchair Sports estimates the 2012 Canada Cup will have an economic impact of $1.87 million on Richmond. “The 2012 Canada Cup Wheelchair Rugby Tournament will bring international athletes to Richmond, creating a wonderful opportunity to showcase the city’s local businesses to the world,” said provincial Sport and Cultural Development Minister Ida Chong in a press release. Ian Chan, Trevor Hirschfield and Travis Murao of Richmond play for Team Canada.

Grant Granger Black Press

The thud and clang of colliding industrial-strength wheelchairs echoing through the Bonsor Recreation Centre in Burnaby was silenced long enough Friday afternoon for the provincial government to announce $75,000 toward the 2012 Canada Cup wheelchair rugby tournament. The tourney, which will run June 21-23 at the Richmond Olympic Oval, will involve the eight countries that have qualified for the 2012 Paralympics. It will also be the last tournament before the teams head off to London. The Canada Cup, which used to be held at Bonsor, will have a total budget of $500,000 said Kathy Newman, executive director of B.C. Wheelchair Sports Association, after the ceremony. Friday’s announcement was made on the opening day of the Vancouver Invitational Wheelchair Rugby Tournament, held on the weekend in

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

LAWSON, Ruth, passed away peacefully at Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock, B.C. on April 6, 2012, at the age of 94 years. Predeceased by her husband, Robert, Ruth is survived by her daughter Lynne (Doug) Frisby; her grandchildren, Adam (Andria) Frisby and Amanda Frisby and her great - granddaughter Claire Alexandra Frisby. At Ruth’s request, no formal service is planned, but for those desiring, donations made in her memory to the B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation would be most appreciated.

WARREN, Teressa Mary passed away in her 101st year on April 7, 2012 with family at her side. She was predeceased by her devoted husband, Ashley, daughter Barbara, granddaughter Adele, and grandson-in-law Kelly. She is survived by her daughter Helen, grandchildren Steven (Debbie), Michelle, and Carina, and great-grandchildren Christina, Riana, Evan, and Sam. Teressa was extremely proud of her family and right until the end of her life she spoke of her love and concern for us. Despite her physical maladies, she seldom complained and instead had a positive outlook she shared with everyone. She had an extremely caring & generous heart for those she met during her life and also believed in supporting various causes. She was a very talented pianist, and taught numerous pupils over many years. Countless times she would play socially, sharing the beauty of music. Only a month ago, she played the piano for a full hour at her care home. Teressa was a devout Catholic and her faith was very important to her. She has completed her journey with great dignity and she will be dearly missed by all who knew her. The family offers special thanks to the staff of the Al Hogg Pavilion 2, Mary Flynn, and Norma Gueulette. A funeral mass will be held at 9 am on Friday, April 13th at Star of the Sea Church in White Rock with internment to follow at Garden of Gethsemane. In lieu of flowers, the family would be very grateful for donations to Covenant House in Vancouver, a charity benefiting homeless youth that Teressa supported for many years. Please visit www.covenanthousebc.org or call 604.638.4438 to complete a donation.

More motorists avoid fueling here – or paying tolls – since 2010

Gas tax fuels less funds for TransLink Jeff Nagel Black Press

TransLink’s much-hated gas tax isn’t pulling in as much cash as it used to, as motorists either gas up outside the region or simply drive less. The transportation authority took in $312 million in 2011 from the fuel tax, according to its annual report. That was down nearly $12 million from 2010 as motorists bought 5.9 per cent less gasoline or diesel in the region. “High prices of fuel and a strong Canadian dollar would have contributed to the decline in fuel sales volume, which likely migrated to the Fraser Valley Regional District and Whatcom County,” the report said. It said other factors likely include more fuel-efficient vehicles, increased use of transit or cycling, and less commuting overall. “If the trend continues, the impact of this reduction could be in the magnitude of a $450- to $550-million revenue loss in a 10-year period.” The gas tax that goes to TransLink increased this month from 15 to 17 cents a litre and the hike is expected to raise an extra $40 million a year. But concern that the gas tax may be an increasingly unstable source going forward is one reason area mayors have talked about using other revenue sources, like a vehicle levy or road pricing, to fund TransLink’s longer term expansion. TransLink says 8.6 per cent more passengers took transit in Metro Vancouver last year, setting a new ridership record. The annual report also says it spent $56 million less than it budgeted. But officials say the savings have no bearing on TransLink’s need for an extra $30 million per year to cover the transit expansion committed under the Mov-

ing Forward program approved by area mayors last year. Money from the gas tax is dedicated to TransLink’s share of building the Evergreen Line. Overall, TransLink took in nearly $1.2 billion in revenue and spent $34 million more than that. It covered that deficit by drawing down its reserves to $288 million, which was less of a reduction than planned.

The reserve fund is expected to run out in 2016 but officials say they continue to search for efficiencies to stretch it further. TransLink took in a record $444 million from transit fares and the higher ridership was partly due to more passengers taking transit for the Stanley Cup playoffs. Property taxes generated $298 million, up nearly three per cent. Tolls on the Golden Ears Bridge

generated $33.7 million for TransLink, $4 million or 10.8 per cent less than expected. Nearly 9.8 million vehicles crossed the toll bridge in 2011 – up 12.6 per cent from about 8.7 million in 2010 – but well short of TransLink’s budget target of 10.5 million. TransLink expects the Golden Ears numbers may improve in 2013, after tolls are added to the

Brodie said Richmond council was already uneasy with the contract’s term and other aspects before the pay hike revelations were disclosed. “We don’t give a 20-year contract to anybody,” Brodie said. “We already had questions. Now we’ve got many, many more questions.” Mayors from RCMP-policed Lower Mainland cities will meet in Surrey April 20 to discuss the contract and pay raises. Fassbender said cities that don’t sign by the deadline effectively give two years notice of withdrawal from the RCMP and commit to forming their own police forces or partnering with existing municipal forces. “I’m still going to urge our council to sign the new contract,” Fassbender said. The new contract creates a UBCM-led committee with 10 civic reps who are promised much more hands-on control of spending changes, instead of just an advisory role. Cities that sign the RCMP deal can still opt out at any time on two years notice.

Family-friendly community gaining popularity

Tsawwassen a rising hot spot What is it about Tsawwassen that makes it so popular in the new home market right now? With the release of the second phase of Shato Holdings’ Tsawwassen Springs development late last year, the community formerly best known for the BC Ferry terminal is coming into its own. “Tsawwassen has always been a really nice area to raise a family,” says Ron Toigo, managing director of Shato Holdings. Toigo has been a long-time resident of Tsawwassen himself, and says he enjoys the proximity to Vancouver while still getting away from it all. “It’s half an hour from Vancouver, but

you could be 100 miles away,” he says. Tsawwassen Springs opened for sale earlier last year, and has been extremely popular with all types of homebuyers. Part of its appeal can be chalked up to the city, along with its stunning golf course and mountain views. “Tsawwassen is going to be one of the hot spots,” says George Wong, founder of Magnum Projects, which marketed Tsawwassen Springs’ second phase. “It’s an undiscovered jewel.” One thing that sets Tsawwassen apart is the construction of its developments, Wong says. “You don’t see high-rises and concrete towers. It’s a more pastoral community.”

Power Smart New Homes are a great investment by Kerry Vital

There’s a lot to think about when buying a new home, and energyefficiency isn’t necessarily tops on your list. However, BC Hydro has several reasons why it should be one of the first things you think about. Around since 2006, the BC Hydro Power Smart New Home program ensures that homes are more energyefficient, which will save you money in the long run. “These homes use 30 per cent less energy than an average home in today’s market,” says Kari Montrichard, Program Manager of Residential Marketing for BC Hydro. Homes in the program have an Energuide rating of 80 or higher, Montrichard says. “An Energuide rating is a performance-based building energy rating system developed and delivered by (Natural Resources Canada) and its licensed service organizations. The scale ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 is the least efficient and 100 is the most efficient,” she says, adding that a home’s performance is mainly based on thermal performance and how efficient the heating and cooling systems are. With energy costs expected to rise in the future, buying a Power Smart New Home is especially important because it will help homeowners save money. Montrichard cites three ways that a home in the program will benefit you in the long run. The first is saving on your mortgage insurance, as the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation Mortgage Insurance will give you a 10 per cent refund if you buy a Power Smart New Home. The second is saving on your monthly bills, since your home will use less energy to accomplish the same tasks. The third is on the resale value of your home, especially when more and more buyers are concerned about the environment and looking for a green home. But is there anything you can do to your current home to make it more energy-efficient? Montrichard says yes. “There are low-cost improvements homeowners can make from draftproofing to replacing showerheads,” she says. “For deeper retrofits and improvements like replacing windows or adding insulation, we have partnered with the provincial government and

“

These homes use 30 per cent less energy than an average home in today’s market,” says Kari Montrichard, Program Manager of Residential Marketing for BC Hydro.

FortisBC to offer the Live Smart program. Homeowners can have a home energy audit to understand which retrofits will provide the best results, and they may qualify for incentives.” When you’re touring a potential home, there are a few things for you to look out for. Lighting accounts for about 16 per cent of the electricity consumption in a house, so the easiest way to increase your energy efficiency is to install compact fluorescent bulbs that include an Energy Star label. Home appliances are responsible for about 20 per cent of the energy used per day, so it’s a good idea to look for an ENERGY STAR label when purchasing new appliances as well. For example, BC Hydro states that refrigerators with that label are at least 20 per cent more energy-efficient than the minimum standard set by the federal government. This means they are better insulated, often more quiet and include more precise temperature settings and better defrost mechanisms. Meanwhile, a dishwasher with an ENERGY STAR label is at least 25 per cent more efficient and can save homeowners up to 20 per cent on water heating costs, BC Hydro says. Another big appliance in the home is a washing machine for clothing. An ENERGY STAR-labelled machine can reduce your overall energy consumption by up to 50 per cent, and uses 35 to 50 per cent less water than standard models. Up to one third of the heat inside the home can escape through windows, so BC Hydro recommends looking for ENERGY STAR-labelled windows that will keep the heat inside during the winter and the heat outside in the summer.

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.
