BNSF obtained injunction

‘Safety risks’ cited

Proposed hemp shop gets cool reception

13 fined in train protest

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Alex Browne Staff Reporter

A peaceful protest that briefly blocked the train tracks in White Rock during the weekend led to arrests and fines for some of the participants. But Peter Nix, a member of British Columbians for Climate Action, a group opposing the use of fossil fuels and the shipping of coal through B.C. for export from Roberts Bank and Prince Rupert, said the rally succeeded in delaying the one coal train that arrived during the day-long protest on the waterfront. Nix, a retired environmental scientist from Vancouver Island, was among 13 protesters arrested by White Rock RCMP around 6 p.m. Saturday, after they walked onto the tracks to stop the coal train. Gus Melonas, director of public affairs for BNSF – which obtained a B.C. Supreme Court injunction against the protest in advance – said the train was stopped approximately 150 feet short of the demonstrators, near the white rock, to avoid any chance of injury. After police warned the protesters they would be subject to arrest if they did not leave the tracks, some refused. Thirteen were removed by police without incident, taken to the White Rock RCMP detachment and fined $115 for trespassing on railway property. see page 2

A man who has been ordered to stand trial on a charge of trafficking wants to open a hemp-themed shop on White Rock’s Marine Drive. But the application for a business licence by Victor “Randy” Caine has received a cool response from city staff. “Staff do not anticipate any budgetary risk management considerations for the city. Approval of the business license, however, could lead to security and safety risks for residents above the proposed business site related to potential for petty crimes and break-ins,” Paul Stanton, the city’s director of planning and development services, notes in a May 7 staff report. Caine applied for a licence in December to open Hempyz Gifts and Novelties at 14967 Marine Dr., across from White Rock Museum & Archives. According to information from hempyz.com that was to be presented to council Monday night (after Peace Arch News deadline), the store was advertising to open in White Rock May 4 and offer everything from organic clothing to purses with built-in, smell-proof compartments and “novelty items for your favourite stoner.” Caine is executive director of the Langley Medical Marijuana Dispensary. He ran for a seat on Langley City council in the fall election. Last October, Caine was charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, in connection with a police raid at the dispensary last July. Officers reported seizing more than eight pounds of marijuana and assorted marijuana products in the raid. According to online records, Caine last appeared in Surrey Provincial Court on March 19, and has been ordered to stand trial. In his May 7 report, Stanton notes concerns about the business opening on Marine Drive have been heard both from neighbours and White Rock RCMP.

Crews attend to the scene of a Monday-morning crash along Highway 99 in South Surrey.

Emergency crews called after truck goes off road

Crash slows Hwy 99 traffic A morning crash near the Nicomekl River slowed traffic on Highway 99 Monday. Police and fire crews were called after a white northbound pickup went off the highway around 8 a.m., just shy of the Nicomekl River bridge. The truck came to rest on top of a concrete median at the side of the highway; a trailer it

was towing blocked one northbound lane. At Peace Arch News press deadline Monday afternoon, it remained unclear what caused the truck driver to lose control, or if anyone was injured in the mishap. - Tracy Holmes VIDEO ONLINE Ê Visit www.peacearchnews.com

news Garbage removed but neighbours say not enough has been done

Demolition of derelict house put on hold Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Owners of a derelict White Rock property have made some moves over the past month to clean it up. And that, city officials say, is enough to put demolition plans for 1029/1037 Stevens St. that were scheduled for this week on hold. “The owner has done some work, finally,” city manager Dan Bottrill said Monday. “They’ve taken a lot of garbage off of the property. We need to determine whether or

not it’s still a hazard.” Council gave unanimous support April 2 to enforcing a cleanup of the site, following numerous complaints that the property was attracting rodents, garbage and transients. Neighbours Geoff Giffin and Senga Fullam began to actively push for the city to move on the problem late last year, after years of “quietly” waiting produced little results. And while they were “guardedly optimistic” things would change after Mayor Wayne Baldwin’s April 2 declaration – which gave

the owners 30 days to act or the city would “take the sucker down” – Giffin said Friday not enough has been done, but that he’s not surprised by the lack of progress. “People that I have spoken with that understand how municipalities work said it’s not going to happen,” he said. “I think it should be increasingly embarrassing to the city that it seems so powerless to get this done.” The city has fielded complaints about the property since 1998. Fines levied against the owners – identified by the city as Tai-

wan residents Chi T. Tsang and Chen-Hung Tsang – for violation of the city’s unsightly premises bylaw date back to 2010. While a May 2 email to Giffin from the city states the city’s lawyers advised against taking the threatened remedial action, Bottrill said legal issues were not the only consideration in deciding to delay the demolition. “It’s a serious issue to go and enter someone’s property to demolish it,” he said. “It’s far better for the city to work with our property owners.”

Newton homicide ‘not gang related’ A man found dead of gunshot wounds in the basement suite of a Newton home last week had just moved to B.C. from Ontario, police said Monday. Noel Jackson, 21, who had a criminal record, had recently relocated to the Lower Mainland, said Sgt. Jennifer Pound, who speaks for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT). “Although the investigation is early and the motive for this homicide is still not clear, investigators do not believe this killing is connected to the current gang conflict,” Pound said in a written release. Jackson was discovered dead in the lower suite of a home at 12432 70 Ave. on Thursday (May 3) around 12:30 p.m. The shooting came the day after the drive-by killing in Vancouver of former Surrey gangster Ranjit Cheema, who had recently returned from a five-year jail sentence in California for drug smuggling.

Parking lot mishap

Emergency crews attend to a 44-year-old woman in a parking lot at 1781 King George Blvd. Saturday morning. Police say the woman suffered a minor ankle injury after her trouser leg was caught by the tire of a Mercedes sedan that was reversing out of a parking stall, causing her to fall.

Defence says Crown’s sentencing arguments based on unproved allegations

Father who abducted son ‘on way to turn self in’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A call for a federal jail term for a man who pleaded guilty to abducting his own son last fall was backed Thursday by the probation officer who prepared a pre-sentence report on Benjamin James McBeath. The programs that would most benefit the 35-year-old are not available at the provincial level, Ranita Kajil told Surrey Provincial Court Judge James Bahen. “In the provincial system, given the recent cutbacks, I don’t feel there is the type of program that would be adequate for the offender,” Kajil said. But McBeath’s lawyer, Mark Rowan, was quick to try and discredit Kajil’s opinion, pointing out that she arrived at it based on an inaccurate list of charges against his client, the majority of which were more serious than those currently before the court. As well, Kajil relied on the “internal judgment” of her office colleagues in accepting a risk-assessment opinion on McBeath provided by RCMP Cpl. Allison Douglas, a domestic-violence officer, Rowan charged. “You’ve done how many reports?” Rowan

asked Kajil, who told the court earlier she An Amber Alert was issued around 9:40 had compiled about 300 pre-sentence reports p.m., but was deactivated about two hours over the course of her seven-year career. later, after the boy was found in a vehicle “Did you know that in arriving at her opin- spotted two kilometres away. ion, (the officer) relied on alleged violent According to Rowan, McBeath was arrested acts that my client says never happened and en route to turn himself in at Surrey RCMP. there is no evidence of?

In calling for a sentence of six to 12 months in custody and three years’ probation, Rowan cited mitigating factors including that McBeath pleaded guilty; has taken courses to improve himself – including for violence prevention, substance-abuse management and parenting – and has shown remorse. As well, Rowan pointed to a psychiatrist’s finding that McBeath presented a low to moderate risk to reoffend, and a low risk of future violent behaviour towards his wife, from whom he separated in August. Prosecutor Brian Shaw argued the psychologist’s findings warrant heavier sentencing. They are more telling, along with McBeath’s own account of the offence, he said. “I haven’t seen too much more chilling than his own recounting (of what happened),” Shaw said. “At one point, he thought (his wife) was dead. Horrific is the only way of describing it. Those are the facts this court must decide this case on. It’s his behaviour, his actions, his choices that he’s made. He’s not a person that can be trusted.” Bahen set a sentencing date of May 11.

Mutual respect for police, protesters from page 1 Melonas said the coal train was held for between 10 and 15 minutes in total. Other rail traffic had passed during the day, he said, noting the “demonstrators were peaceful and respectful of railway property,” and “did not disrupt traffic flow.” Melonas said subsequent inspections of the lines, bridges and other structures had uncovered no evidence of vandalism or attempts to sabotage operations. But he urged members of the group to continue to consider safety issues and to “respect the law and… not interfere with rail operations.” A statement issued by RCMP spokeperson Sgt. Peter Thiessen said the demonstrators “were respectful of the police and the process that was required to affect their arrest as a result of their actions.” In return, RCMP allowed them to make a brief statement to reporters at the scene before they were arrested. SFU professor Dr. Mark Jaccard, a Canadian energy-environment economist and member of the Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and environmental activist Kevin Washbrook were also among protesters who walked onto the tracks carrying a large banner, after being tipped by spotters in the U.S. that a coal train was on its way. While announced last week as a 24-hour protest that was to begin at midnight Friday, a fluctuating

A train passes without incident as protesters mill about on steps. group of some 25 to 40 protesters had gathered near the tracks – in the 15000-block of Marine Drive near the white rock – starting around 7 a.m. Saturday. Amtrak and BNSF were given advance notice of the protest, and White Rock RCMP and CN Police were on hand throughout to ensure the safety of the protesters and the public, Thiessen said. Nix had nothing but praise for RCMP members present, particularly White Rock detachment commander, Staff Sgt. Lesli Roseberry. “She made it clear to us that her job was to protect our right to dissent, but also to protect public safety,” he said, adding that Roseberry had pointed out some potential safety issues connected with stopping a train in a public place. Nix said the protest had been

in the works for six months – including some secret “dry-runs” – and had gone mostly according to logistical planning. It resulted in the desired media attention and the chance to discuss the group’s views with passersby, who, he said, seemed mostly concerned about coal traffic. “One person called me a blockhead, which, I suppose, in one day, isn’t bad,” he said. Nix said the group does not rule out future protests. “It went as well as we imagined a first event would happen,” he said, acknowledging it had been a surprise to find the railway had obtained a B.C. Supreme Court injunction against the blockade. “I’m told this is not usual, but, in this case, the railway made a pre-emptive strike.”

editorial

Keep rhetoric to a minimum he Conservative government last Wednesday marked one year since it won a majority of seats in the House of Commons. Prime Minister Stephen Harper pledged to MPs to continue working on the issues the party campaigned on – reducing and eventually eliminating the deficit, making Canada competitive in the world economy, getting tougher on crime and managing the federal government more efficiently. The Conservatives have now been in power for close to 6½ years. The first 5½ were as a minority government, and that taught Harper and his MPs some valuable lessons. One of the most important is to keep the rhetoric to a minimum and concentrate on getting the job done. It is always better to outperform what is expected, rather than trumpet loudly about what you hope to do, and then not achieve it. It’s not that the Conservatives don’t ever go the boastful route. One of the dumber moves during the past year’s majority government came when Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said about an online monitoring bill: “You are with us or with the child pornographers.” That started the infamous Vikileaks affair, led by a Liberal staffer (who has since resigned). This put details of Toews’ divorce all over the Internet. While it was an overreaction, Toews should have learned a lesson there – don’t boast and don’t get too dramatic. Harper himself recently put a toe across the line by claiming that a former NDP leader had opposed Canada’s entry into the Second World War. While he was correct that CCF leader J.S. Woodsworth opposed the war in 1939 (and immediately lost his post as leader), the NDP itself was not formed out of the CCF until 1961 – 22 years later. The point is this – politicians are far better to keep expectations low, make comments that are non-provocative and deliver more than the public expects. One way to do so is to avoid rhetoric and concentrate on the job at hand. For the most part, the Conservatives have done that. The deficit is steadily getting lower, there is some effort to reduce the size of government, taxes are not being raised and Canada continues to be in a stronger economic position than most countries. A steady and careful approach to government is the best way to continue to achieve results.

So far this week you’ve said… yes 51% no 49% 112 responding ban, if one existed. As I’ve mentioned before, there are legitimate arguments against the Northern Gateway proposal. This hippyfantasy tanker moratorium isn’t one of them. Then there is the hypocrisy and pro-U.S. bias that is so clearly evident in the manipulated B.C. debate. The Northern Gateway pipeline would generate as many as 350 tanker trips each year to and from Kitimat. More than twice that many tankers already sail each year through the Strait of Juan de Fuca, past the Gulf and San Juan Islands. Many are heading to refinery complexes at March Point and Cherry Point in Washington. These supertankers can be seen sailing past Victoria most days. Strangely, this U.S. crude traffic excites no protests. Some of the smaller tankers come in to fill up from the Trans-Mountain pipeline in Burnaby, whose operator is preparing a bid for expansion. This attracts protests organized by people paid to oppose Alberta “tar sands” oil. Where do urban protesters think we get the gasoline and diesel fuel sold at B.C. filling stations? Do they think it’s all made at the little Chevron refinery in Burnaby, the last remnant of refining capacity in southern B.C.? We could use a serious debate about how B.C. handles petroleum. Instead, we see factually inaccurate claims promoted by U.S. interests to attack Canadian crude only. Our opposition politicians and media mostly just go along for the ride.

Collateral damage Editor: Re: ‘Civil disobedience’ on track in W.R., May 3. The lead story in Thursday’s edition of the PAN is interesting, but some of the presumptions of protester Peter Nix are misplaced. The coal arriving on the BNSF and passing through White Rock comes from the Kootenay coal fields in Canada. Hundreds of Canadian jobs are at stake in eastern B.C., as well as many highpaying jobs at the Robert’s Bank coal transshipping facility. I would expect that the mine workers’ union would not be pleased with Peter’s actions. I trust your paper will equally publish the other side of the story. Being against someone or something often interferes with the lives and livelihood of others. Equality mean just that, freedom to do whatever one wishes as long as it doesn’t impair or interfere with anyone else against their wishes. David G. Sparks, Surrey Q I read in the PAN about the protest expected on the BNSF trackage near the White Rock pier regarding coal transportation by the BNSF. All these BNSF folks do is haul this commodity. I find no fault with them, so why the protest and interruption on their trackage right of way? I hope such a protest is not allowed to set a precedent, as the BNSF should run unhindered. A self-serving group has decided to set up shop in White Rock to advance their thoughts, rather than in Blaine, Wash., which in itself tells a tale of a bunch of pensioned hippies. Often, though, such groups are infiltrated by subversive individuals that create a negative event, and I truly hope these folks were well-prepared. If you want to protest in society, make it peaceful within the normal rules of society, and not by civil disobedience. Ron Eves, White Rock

Friday, on my way to Semiahmoo in the U.S. to visit a friend, I saw the BN coal train stopped on the tracks waiting to go north. I stopped my car, backed up to the tail-end train and set my car’s odometer to zero. Carefully, I drove on the side of the road, counting rail cars. To my amazement, there were 128 fully loaded coal cars. The length totalled a whopping 2.3 kilometres long. Now, I refuse to go back to Crescent Beach to see how long it takes 2.3 km of rail cars to hold the community hostage. Please understand, there is no political agenda on my part, just asking basic questions. How long is too long for a community to be completely cut off from help? Did we really agree to those unreasonably long trains in a residential neighbourhood? Are there not regulations or laws or something that is being stretched? Maybe we should all block the train in protest of the trains, based on both long-term and immediateterm life preservation. Paul Olson, Surrey

Society needs animal activists Editor: Re: Surrey to ban tethering of dogs, April 26. It sickens me to read these negative articles about dog abuse. While in Mexico, I had to look at these poor creatures who are malnourished and mistreated. There are so many that are hobbling around with broken limbs, they have more than likely been hit by cars

but somehow manage to keep going – not too long, as the average life expectancy of a dog in Mexico is five years. I do what I can to help, but I learned early on it was not my place to judge, as it was not my country. In this country, however, we have two sides of the spectrum. Some people treat their dogs like children; the dogs sleep on their bed, they travel with them, they have the best of food and health care if they should get hurt. Then we hear about the other side, about people who mistreat or neglect their dogs, or keep them solely for protecting their property, in which case wouldn’t an alarm system be more appropriate? Sometimes, the reason is not necessarily malicious. They just don’t think about the consequences of their actions. They can’t plead ignorance, because we are constantly reminded by the SPCA and other organizations out to help animals. I am so glad that someone like Janet Olsen is not afraid to get involved and try to do something about this. We should all be more proactive when it comes to animals. The other related article in the same edition (Stop Puppy Mills, says MLA), was also disturbing. I think this is sheer greed and the people should be heavily fined. Also, the media should be held responsible, i.e. the Disney movie about dalmations depicts them as fun-loving dogs – so cute when they are small – but doesn’t specify that when they are adults, they are big dogs and need a lot of exercise. Many people went out and bought this breed for their children, not realizing the commitment they need. Or, chihuahuas. People don’t realize

Trains pose other dangers Editor: Funny thing happened on my way to Crescent Beach last Thursday. My wife and I found ourselves waiting for a train of empty coal cars headed south. At first, no big deal happens all the time. My wife, in casual conversation, says, “Did you know there is a protest slated for May 4 to block the coal train at White Rock pier?” She tells me the protest is based on coal being a major contributor to climate issues. I say “Oh, there’s a good chance that’s true. Don’t think I’d stand in front of a train to prove it, though.” While waiting, I found myself getting upset, not about the coal but the length of the train. It was a very long time for Crescent Beach to be cut off from emergency services.

how loud and obnoxious they can be, and not at all suited for children. People need to do more research when they buy or adopt a dog. At the same time, dog breeders should stop breeding just for the money and because a breed happens to be the “flavour of the year.” D. Barros, White Rock Q Thank you to Janet Olson, who brought to Surrey council’s attention the need to ban chained and tethered dogs – and there are many. Olson presented a video in support of her presentation that was provided by the Animal Advocates Society in North Vancouver, which is another amazing private animalrescue organization. I invite anyone who wishes to view the video, Ten Years on a Chain: Rescued Dog’s Happy Ending, on Youtube. The dog in this video suffered for 10 years at the hands of its owner, yet we have people in authority to protect our animals. So why does this continue to happen? And is there any wonder why we have private organizations doing what they do illegally? I think letter-writer Perry Walker (Our society fails to prevent cruelty, April 24) said it best: “No one with ears to hear or eyes to see or a heart to feel can walk a block in any neighbourhood and not be aware…” Now is the time for us all to come together to support Olson and others who help rescue our animals who give us unconditional love but suffer by the very people who claim to love them, their owners. It sickens me to think that these animals are now being returned to them for the abuse to continue. Cheryl Berti, White Rock

Emergency responders ensured victims of an apartment fire were transported to safety, writes Catherine Robertson.

Quick, intense and professional Editor: Re: ‘Flames were as high as the building,’ May 1. On April 26, at approximately 6:20 a.m., our 60-unit apartment fire alarm sounded, sending tenants out into the streets as fire and ambulance vehicles arrived with screaming sirens in the downpour of rain. Space is too short to accommodate the praise, I believe, is due to all emergency staff from our most competent firefighters, paramedics and police. Response was quick, intense and professional in every way. Upon the arrival of most tenants – and their pets – to our Centennial Arena complex by arranged TransLink buses, we were met by the incredibly organized White Rock emergency social services and reception staff

who had already set up tables of hot coffee, tea and nourishing snacks to eat. This capable staff processed all tenants present, first accounting for all, then assisting with accommodation and insurance issues for each. A huge thank you is due also to the manager and staff of PriceSmart Foods for quickly donating a wonderful lunch for all which included very generously filled sandwiches, sliced melons and other fruits. I am writing to express the personal gratitude and extreme pride I feel for all our White Rock professionals who displayed, in every way, their professionalism and caring throughout the entire emergency response situation. Thank you all! Catherine Robertson, White Rock

Larry Ramsell, well know for his efforts to preserve salmon in Elgin Creek, died April 29. File photo

Larry Ramsell lauded as man who ‘walked the walk’

Elgin advocate remembered Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

When it came to protecting local salmon stock and the creeks critical to their survival, for decades Larry Ramsell was the man who knew what was going on, what was needed and how to get it done. On Monday, those who knew the longtime Crescent Road resident honoured his dedication, as they bid adieu to the easygoing octogenarian in a noon-hour service at Sunnyside Lawn Cemetery, followed by a celebration of life at Royal Canadian Legion

Teen girl knifed An argument between two teenage girls at the Newton bus loop turned ugly last week when one of them pulled a knife and stabbed the other. On Thursday, at about 3:30 p.m., a 16-year-old allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed a 15-yearold. The injured teen ran into the Newton Wave Pool for medical attention and was sent to hospital, treated and released. Anyone who witnessed the fight or subsequent stabbing can call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502. – Kevin Diakiw

Branch 240 near Crescent Park. Ramsell died April 29. Kathi Nicholson, a longtime neighbour of Ramsell’s who worked alongside him as part of Residents of Elgin Saving Creeks from Urban Effects (RESCUE), said Friday that the easygoing, well-liked senior deserves the bulk of credit for the comeback of spawning salmon in Elgin Creek. “The fact that the Elgin Creek has come back to life, there’s been a few other hands, but we owe it all to him,” Nicholson said. “When I met him, there

presents

‘Unnecessary’ policy axed Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Developers and private citizens wanting to lobby White Rock council members on land-use ideas no longer have to register their intent with city hall. At the suggestion of Coun. Grant Meyer, council voted last month to rescind the two-yearold legislation, agreeing it was both unnecessary and impractical. The policy was created in in 2010. According to city documents, it was aimed at ensuring the citizens of White Rock know who may be trying to influence city decisions through the use of lobbyists, in particular with regard to land-use applications. But Mayor Wayne Baldwin said

Doug McLean former councillor

he has no idea why it ever came to be in the seaside city. “I’m not sure what the thinking on it was,” Baldwin told Peace Arch News Friday, noting it was initially put forward by former councillor Doug McLean, who also worked for the province. When introducing the resolution in 2009, McLean said that

May 9 - 19, 2012

increased transparency around lobbying activities would increase public trust in council and staff. Friday, Baldwin said professional lobbyists generally work at the provincial and federal level. White Rock’s policy – believed to be the only one at the municipal level in B.C. – was never used, he said. “It was there, it wasn’t followed, nobody did it, so why have it?” he said. Meyer, in discussing his recommendation April 16, noted that “only a handful” of Canadian municipalities still have a lobbyist policy. “I think it’s just a lot of red tape, unneeded,” he said. Baldwin said developers and private citizens “can come talk to council at any time.”

he keeps a notepad by her makeup in her bathroom, as, just after she wakes, her mind usually begins grinding away about people missing in this city. Cpl. Holly Turton joined Surrey RCMP’s Missing Persons Unit in January last year and has had some heartwarming moments. One of the most recent was of a man who was medically reliant on insulin. Police found him in medical distress and were able to get him to hospital in time. Another highlight, Turton told a press conference, was of 12-yearold Jamie-Leah Prohl, who was found in Vancouver earlier last

month and rejoined with her nineyear-old sister. Police discovered there was trouble at home and were able to find a healthy placement for both girls. “Our unit had worked incredibly hard, we worked very long hours trying to locate her, we were very concerned,” Turton said. “When we found out she was in Vancouver, there were some celebratory drinks that night.” Last year, there were 1,810 missing persons complaints in Surrey and all but four have been found. Contrary to popular opinion, police don’t require any wait time to start a missing persons investigation. In the unit, there’s a map of the world with pins in it, indicating

some of the places they have found people. One man left his wife and police traced him through the U.S. to Paris, France. There, he seemingly disappeared, probably to his home country in Africa. Another woman was found in Britain – she hadn’t told her mother about her new boyfriend. Investigators wouldn’t say much more except that the discovery itself was unusual. The Missing Persons Unit will be highlighting one case every month for the next year. This month, they are asking for help finding Stephen Anthony Begg, who was last seen on Feb. 6, 2011. Having never gone missing

Contributed photo

Stephen Anthony Begg has been missing since Feb. 6, 2011. before, he left behind all of his personal possessions, including ID. Begg struggled to find work as a software and web designer, and lived on social assistance. He did

not own a car, mostly using public transit. Begg frequented the liquor store at 8410 160 St. and police are asking any patrons of that establishment who may know Begg to come forward. He is described as a Caucasian male, 5’8” (173 cm), 130 lbs. (59 kgs) with green eyes and brown hair. If you have any information, no matter how seemingly insignificant, regarding his disappearance, call Const. Mike Halskov at 604-599-7691.

Water, like oxygen, is essential to life as we know it, so it should not be used recklessly for appearances, display or private profit. Sources should be protected, purification and recycling fostered, and pollution avoided. Some countries, like Canada, have an abundant supply and are apt to be careless with water use; many others are thirsty and have learned to manage with limited resources. Development proposals should be looked at for all their impacts on our air, earth and water supply and be subject to comprehensive examination. Accepted proposals ought not to be subverted by short-term economics, a message too often lost on decision-makers who seem to think it’s enough to ask, “how can we minimize any environmental harm?” The proper question is: “can we live with possible environmental consequences of a proposed activity?” Dr. Roy Strang writes monthly on the environment for the Peace Arch News. rmstrang@shaw.ca

Sarah Massah photo

People flocked to White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waterfront Saturday to get a glimpse of the biggest full moon of the year. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;supermoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shone 30 per cent brighter as it passed its perigee, the closest point to Earth of its orbit.

Single moms have new housing development

Place to call home Dan Pearce Black Press

Alexandra Rauscher and her son Nathaniel have a new place to call home in Surrey. Rauscher, 20, and two-year-old Nathaniel moved into the newly built YWCA Alder Gardens March 24. The 36-unit supportive housing development near 137 Street and 71 Avenue, intended for single mothers and their children who are at risk of homelessness, held an official opening Friday. Rauscher says she immediately took to her new home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even when I first moved in, by the second day, it felt like home,â&#x20AC;? she said. The building includes a mix of two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments, common amenity space, an outdoor play area and community meeting spaces. Rauscher works across the street from the housing development and watched as it was being built. When she found out the purpose of the complex, she sent in her application and â&#x20AC;&#x153;was here a week later.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m super excited to be on my own,â&#x20AC;?

she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been independent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome.â&#x20AC;? Rauscher was sharing a two bedroom basement suite with her sister and mother prior to moving into the new home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a huge adjustment, but a good adjustment,â&#x20AC;? she said. She says the new location is much more convenient than her previous living space in Panorama Ridge, particularly because everything she needs, including her work, is within walking distance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can spend more time with Nathaniel,â&#x20AC;? said the single mom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can dedicate more of my time, effort and energy to the community.â&#x20AC;? The development was funded in part by the Government of Canada, the province, the City of Surrey and YWCA Metro Vancouver and its supporters. YWCA Metro Vancouver manages and operates the building and provides support services that include tools and resources for residents to build their financial independence and prevent future homelessness.

Dr Drew Towers (Dr of Audiology) and Sean Rielly (Representative and Technical Advisor for Oticon Canada) will be hosting information sessions on Thursday, May 17, which will include demonstrations of the latest, revolutionary advancements in hearing technology. They will be available all day to answer your questions and help you find solutions to your specific hearing problems.

lifestyles Clayton Heights’ fundraiser supports Sierra Leone

Students’ fast raises $7,500 Jennifer Lang Black Press

Some very tired and hungry Clayton Heights Secondary students made it through a 36-hourfamine last month, but the deprivation was worth it. Thanks to their efforts, the students were able to raise $7,500, money the school will donate to various local and international charitable efforts. “We have now built a school in Sierra Leone and began building

a clean water well,” Grade 12 student Nalin Dhillon says. About 85 students pledged to fast from 8 p.m. April 26 to 8 a.m. Saturday, April 28 as part of an awareness campaign to end global hunter. At the end of the fast, students tucked into a long-awaited breakfast, provided by community sponsors PriceSmart Foods and Fraser Downs. The famine followed close on the heels of the school’s Reality

Week, held April 10 to 13. The event was organized by the school’s social responsibility club, Project Equal. Activities included guest speakers and presentations on themes ranging from environmental awareness and distracted driving to peer support and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. “We would like to extend a huge shout out to all the students who assisted, the teachers who signed their classes up, as well as our fantastic presenters,” Dhillon said.

A new method A new studio offering a “non-impact ballet barre workout” is coming to the Semiahmoo Peninsula this month. The Dailey Method White Rock, owned and operated by local resident Judie Wilson, in partnership with The Dailey Method of San Francisco, will be located at 1122 Vidal St. in White Rock, and will feature two exercise studios, shower facilities, childminding, as well as a retail clothing section. The White Rock location will be the second Dailey Method studio in the Lower Mainland; the first opened in Vancouver two years ago. Wilson describes the Dailey Method as a workout that “combines barre work (the horizontal, waistlevel bar used by ballet dancers) with core conditioning, stretching and orthopedic exercises to “strengthen, tone and lengthen the entire body.”

A two-month summer break can result in setbacks for student learning, especially those struggling to keep up, he said. McNally said while she’s pleased school boards will now have more autonomy to make such decisions, Surrey is not currently considering changing the school year. “We have bigger fish to fry and that’s getting more capital money so we can build more schools.”

news Traffic across Golden Ears span has increased 12 per cent

6PLOH /DXJK /LYH

Numbers up for toll bridge Jeff Nagel Black Press

About 12 per cent more vehicles used the tolled Golden Ears Bridge in the first quarter of 2012, according to TransLink. The extra 260,000 crossings translates into at least $750,000 more raised through bridge tolls than in the same three-month period of 2011. TransLink has struggled to raise awareness of the Golden Ears and persuade drivers to pay to cross the bridge, which opened in 2009 but has not attracted as much traffic as originally forecast. 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. The tolls generated $33.7 million in 2011.

Retirement that lives like a resort.

Traffic across the Golden Ears Bridge is on the rise, says TransLink. TransLink expects the Golden Ears numbers to improve in 2013, after the new Port Mann Bridge opens with tolls and ceases to be a free crossing. TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis said

the first quarter numbers were helped in part because of fewer snowy days prompting motorists to stay off the roads and drivers choosing the Golden Ears to avoid construction elsewhere.

the scene …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

The Mikado

Ben Nuttall-Smith

Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society’s 30th anniversary production, The Mikado, opens this Wednesday (May 9) at a new venue, White Rock’s Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. One of B.C.’s most recognized tenors, Mark Donnelly – well-known as ‘Mr. O Canada’ for his anthem singing at Canucks games – trades his microphone for a kimono as he plays the title role of the imperious Mikado of Japan to his own son Sean’s performance as “wandering minstrel” Nanki-Poo. The show runs until May 19. A strong cast of popular G&S players includes James Walker as Ko-Ko, the Mikado’s Lord High Executioner; Adam Olgui as the pompous Pooh-Bah; Rebekkah MacEwan as Yum-Yum, Tamara Wilhelm as Pitti-Sing, Samantha Andrews as Peep-Bo and mezzo Jacquollyne Keath as Nanki-Poo’s “slightly bloodthirsty” would-be fiance, Katisha. Don’t let the Japanese costumes fool you – W.S. Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan’s witty 1885 operetta, much like Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, is, at heart, a thinlydisguised satire of Victorian England’s manners and mores. Produced by Kate Bethell (director of the recent White Rock Players Club pantomime Robinson Crusoe), the show’s artistic director is well-known actor/musician Dann Wilhelm, while music direction is by Herbert Tsang and choreography by the ever-creative and reliable Carol Seitz. Evening performances are Wednesday to Sunday at 8 p.m. with a 2:30 p.m. matinee May 13. To reserve tickets, call 604-536-7535, or visit www.whiterockplayers.ca

Semiahmoo Arts will present the special literary event Two Compelling Tales: An evening with Ben Nuttall-Smith, Thursday, May 31, 7:30 p.m. at Pelican Rouge Coffee House, 15142 North Bluff Rd. (Central Plaza). Nuttall-Smith will read from his two recently-published novels: Blood, Feathers and Holy Men, a page-turning blending of Irish, Norse and Pre-Columbian mythology tracing an unknown chapter in the story of the Americas; and Secrets Kept/Secrets Told, a work of biographical fiction in which the author confronts his extended flight from memories of the sexual abuse he experienced while a child during the London blitz. Both novelist and poet, the Crescent Beach resident formerly taught music, theatre and language before retiring in 1991. Doors open at 7 p.m. and patrons are asked to arrive early and order a beverage before the reading gets underway (the coffee bar will be closed after 7:30 p.m. to avoid disturbances).

Paints n’ Bloom A new art event, Paints n’ Bloom comes to the West Coast Garden Centre (1420 172 St.) Friday, June 1 and Saturday, June 2 in support of the Alzheimer Society of British Columbia.

Peninsula Productions summer production of Agatha Christie’s celebrated 1952 thriller The Mousetrap runs July 11 to 28 at the Coast Capital Playhouse. “We have brought together an amazing cast of seasoned actors and fresh faces,” said artistic director Wendy Bollard, who helmed last year’s popular production of Waiting For The Parade. “The spirit of this play is indomitable. As with every great play it is all about the characters and the story.” The very British show – which at times resembles a live version of Clue – takes place at historic Monkswell Manor, recently renovated as a guest house by young couple Mollie and Giles Ralston. Their first guests include the erratic Christopher Wren, the hypercritical Mrs. Boyle, retired military man Major Metcalf, the mannish Miss Casewell, and mysterious foreigner Mr. Paravicini – all of whom are promptly stranded at Monkswell by a snowstorm, just as news arrives of a murder in London... with the distressing addendum that the manor house may be next on the murderer’s itinerary. The local production of The Mousetrap is part of the 60th anniversary celebrations worldwide for the venerable whodunit – which has broken all records by running continuously in London since it first opened. Tickets are $18 and $22 and can be purchased at www.whiterockplayers.ca or in person at The Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Road. For more information on the upcoming production, visit Peninsula Productions’ website, peninsulaproductions.org

BC Liberals try gag law again Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government is attempting to restore limits on third-party election spending that were struck down by a judge before the 2009 vote. Attorney General Shirley Bond has introduced amendments that would put limits on spending by unions, business groups and other non-party advertisers in the 40 days before the official start of a campaign.

File photo

Election signs from the B.C. Teachers’ Federation in 2005. A previous 60-day limit was challenged by public-sector unions and rejected by a B.C.

EXPERIENCING HAND PAIN? Find relief at In Motion Physiotherapy & Hand Therapy

604.283.1717

Supreme Court judge as an unjustified restriction on freedom of speech. Premier Christy Clark said some spending limit on the pre-campaign period is justified, since the province went to scheduled elections in 2005. Current rules restrict party and non-party spending during a 28-day election campaign. NDP justice critic Leonard Krog said the latest effort will likely be challenged and rejected again.

Sharks men’s rugby sides go one-for-two in provincial championships

Bayside wins second-division title over Rowers Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Bayside Sharks won one provincial title Saturday at North Vancouver’s Klahanie Park, and nearly made it two. The Sharks’ second division men’s rugby squad opened the day with a 41-24 win over the Vancouver Rowing Club to win the Okanagan Spring Brewery Division 2 title, but Bayside’s first division team couldn’t quite make it a two-for-two sweep, losing 36-24 to the Rowers in a game that the Sharks led at halftime. The Div. 2 title game took overtime to decide, as the Sharks and Rowers were tied

24-24 after 80 minutes of action – the last 15 of which were frantic for both sides. With the score tied 17-17, the Rowers were stuffed by Sharks’ defenders at the goal line, and then missed an ensuing penalty kick. Five minutes later, however, the Rowing Club took the lead on a converted try, but the seven-point cushion was shortlived, as Bayside’s Graham Rogers scored a try to tie the game with five minutes left. Neither side was able to break the deadlock, sending the game into an overtime session made up of two 10-minute halves. The first OT frame concluded without any scoring, though each team had an opportu-

nity – the Rowers missed a penalty kick, and a drop-goal attempt by Rogers sailed wide. Rogers put his team in the lead with a penalty kick in the second overtime half, and Conor Bouchard extended the lead with a try soon after, with Rogers adding the convert. As the clock ticked down, Dan Lee added an insurance try for the Sharks, to put the game out of reach. In the Div. 1 game that followed, momentum from the win did not quite carry over, as each team missed early penalty kicks, and the Rowers eventually took a 7-0 lead with a try in the 15th minute. Twenty minutes later,

Peter Clifford scored — and converted his own try – on a scoring play that was set up by a big run from Sharks’ Spencer Thorpe. Less than a minute later, Clifford slotted a penalty kick through the uprights for a 10-7 lead. The teams traded tries before halftime – Corey Wood scored for Bayside – and Thorpe scored a try early in the second to extend the lead to 24-12, but the Rowers soon mounted a comeback. In a 10-minute span, the Rowing Club scored three tries – two of which were converted – to take the lead, and in the 80th minute they scored again to make it 36-24.

On Wednesday, Ocean Athletics will host a meet in celebration of World Athletics Day, from 4 to 9:30 p.m. The sixth annual meet, which will feature high-school athletes, will include events ranging from 100-m to steeplechase, and a number of jumps, throws and relays. The following day, for the first time in South Surrey, Ocean Athletics will host the Hershey Track and Field Games, which feature athletes from nine to 14 years old. Events will range from the 50-m dash to the 1,200-m run, and will also include

standing long jump and softball throw. The event – sponsored by the Hershey Company and originating in Hershey, Penn. – has been held in other North American locales for more than 30 years, but only a handful of times in Canada. “It’s aimed at our youngest athletes – it’s a very grassroots program,” said Ocean Athletics’ Maureen de St. Croix. “We’re expecting pretty good numbers – it should be a lot of fun.” The event runs from 6-8:30 p.m. at the athletic park, and is open to any athlete in the age range. Cost to sign up is $5; visit www.oceanathletics.org to register. A free BC Athleticshosted “Run Jump Throw” program, for six- to eight-year-olds, will also be held.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?

304 - 1676 MARTIN DRIVE, SURREY

The whole area of “Shaken Baby Syndrome” is very controversial. Whereas the mainstream medical community has been trained and generally accedes to the aforementioned medical diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome, there is a strong proportion of the medical community that takes issue with that diagnosis. Much of the dissenting opinions have been documented in various cases around the world where people have been wrongfully convicted of serious offences such as murder or manslaughter. Recently, CBC’s Fifth Estate documented several such cases in Canada.

• Estates Probate & Administration • Estate Claims Spouses & Adult Children

Some of the issues which may refute the mainstream opinion are:

• had the child fallen or struck his/her head? • was there any old bleeding of the brain? • history of the birth mother and pre-natal care

Based on the Àndings, the ER doctors and others suggest that the injury is non-accidental generally known as “Shaken Baby Syndrome”.

Pencer played two seasons with the Washington State Cougars, and was one of 14 freshman to start in a game in 2009.

DON CARR Our larger than life husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend, lost his battle with cancer on May 1st, 2012 in Campbell River,BC,comforted by the loving embrace of his family. Our special guy was born, June 7, 1939 and spent his early years in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Don ultimately made his home in White Rock, BC, where he spent 30 years with his loving wife and their two sons. He is survived by his wife Sherry, sons Jason and Chris, daughter in law Brandi, and granddaughters Mackenzie and Riley. Don spent 17 years with General Motors Corporation where he made lifelong friends before venturing into business for himself, establishing Don Carr Chev Olds in South Surrey/White Rock for 30 years. Don was a wellrespected businessman who took pride in giving back to the community. Donner was a “character” as many of you know only too well, but beneath that bluster, was a heart that let you know you were in the presence of a gentle giant. Don lived life to the fullest and then some. He experienced many adventures with friends and family always entertaining everyone with his elaborate storytelling. He spent several years being a snowbird playing golf with his Palm Desert friends and watching his Nascar. He and wife Sherry (Cupcake) retired three years ago and moved to their ocean front dream home in Campbell River. Please join us in a Grey Goose toast to a remarkable man who will never be forgotten. A Celebration of Life will be held at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831 28th Avenue, Surrey on Tuesday, May 15, 2012 at 1:00 pm.
