Planned taxes on rise

Surrey suites to cost more

Neighbours ‘up in arms’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Work to construct a large, $2-million home at the corner of Cliff Avenue and Kent Street in White Rock has neighbours “a little horrified.” But despite concerns, the developer has done everything by the books. “Other than the fact that their timing was poor for their excavation… everything’s above-board,” said city director of planning Paul Stanton, referring to excavation that took place during recent heavy rains, potentially jeopardizing stability of the pit. Stanton said he has received several complaints regarding the development. “Neighbours are up in arms over the size of the house, but staff has an obligation to issue the (building) permit if it meets the requirements. “They pushed the envelope as far as they could push it to build the maximum that they could build.” A four-storey, approximately 14,000-square-foot single-family home is destined for the lot, which is zoned RS-1. The bylaw restricts lot coverage by the principal building to 45 per cent, and height to 7.7 metres. Stanton said the developer kept within the guidelines by designing the house to be built with two levels below-grade. Anything two feet below the lot’s average natural grade is not factored into lotcoverage calculations. “They’ve gone two levels of basement and they’ve excavated right to the property line so they can daylight the basement, which is highly unusual,” he said. “That’s not something we can regulate in the zoning bylaw.” One neighbour told Peace Arch News that comments he’s heard regarding the development have evolved from concern to anger. It will change the character of the neighbourhood, he said. › see page 4

Going to the wall

Bayridge Elementary principal Colleen Kuehne followed through on her incentive program for this year’s Terry Fox Run, as Halle Phoenix and other students got to tape their leader to the wall Wednesday after they doubled their goal, raising $800.

Tax bills in Surrey will be going up almost $100 next year, or nearly $250 if the home has a secondary suite, according to City of Surrey financial staff plans. Council won’t be considering the increases until December, but city staff and Coun. Tom Gill – an accountant who chairs the city’s finance committee – are already hammering out the details. Surrey is planning its usual 2.9 per cent increase ($40.20 on the average home worth $615,000), another one per cent road levy ($13.86), along with a $22 increase in the drainage fee, a $5.90 bump in water charges, and a $16.40 jump in sewer fees. Surrey is not considering an increase in garbage fees this year. If the home has a secondary suite, however, the homeowner will be paying another $148 annually, bringing the secondary suite service fee to $395, an increase of 37.5 per cent. That will bring the total tax bill for the average Surrey home to $2,620 – or $2,768 for homes with a suite. In addition to that, homes with secondary suites that are not on water meters will be paying $844 for utilities, such as sewer ($439), water ($264) and garbage pickup ($141). Gill said residents have been clear that they want owners of homes with suites to pay their fair share. “The objective is to fairly and equitably support amenity infrastructure requirements utilized by all of our residents – pools, recreational centres, turf fields; all in the Build Surrey Program – plus › see page 4

While this project is the most complex one in Surrey, several others are also underway. The most prominent is the 152 Street overpass, which will eliminate a major bottleneck. The road is one of the major north-south arteries in Surrey and is a key connector between North and South Surrey. No longer will long trains hold up traffic for lengthy periods of time. Two other extensions of rail sidings are underway, just west of 184 Street and below Panorama Ridge from about 131A Street to 144 Street. The latter project, which involves rerouting Colebrook Road, will allow whistling to cease on the rail line in the area. This will greatly improve the sleep of nearby Panorama Ridge residents. Improvements to the 168 Street crossing will also eliminate whistling at that crossing. The longer sidings will allow the railways to run much longer trains, which is part of the overall port expansion plans. All these projects will help boost port activity and reduce conflicts between road and rail users. Port Metro Vancouver, which was represented at the Friday event by CEO Robin Silvester, is a major economic driver for the entire region, and port traffic is a key job creator. The fact that all levels of government realize this is encouraging. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

Low-key protest one of 67 across B.C.

Anti-oil rally strikes MLA Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

About 80 people linked arms and chanted slogans outside the 152 Street offices of Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg at noon Wednesday. “Defend our coast,” they shouted, and waved signs that opposed a controversial proposal to build an oil pipeline from Alberta through northern B.C. to ship crude to Asian markets. “Our land is not for sale” one placard read.

“No tankers, no pipelines, no problems,” another said. It was part of a province-wide protest organized in the wake of a demonstration against the pipeline at the legislature that drew more than 3,000 people (see page 31) The 1,100-kilometre Northern Gateway pipeline is proposed by Enbridge Inc. In South Surrey Wednesday, protest spokesperson Elizabeth Kearns brought a map of the proposed pipeline route to Kitimat and the passage oil tankers would likely use.

“You can see how narrow it is,” Kearns said. “I can’t imagine putting tankers in there. It’s ludicrous.” Kearns said the turnout here was better than expected. The low-key protest on 152 Street blocked the sidewalk outside the office for a few minutes, then the demonstrators dispersed. In all, 67 rallies were to be held at MLAs’ offices across the province, calling for a firm commitment to ban tanker expansion on B.C.’s coast, a policy move organizers said would halt the pipeline plans.

Questions for candidates On Nov. 3, the City of White Rock is holding a byelection for a single seat on city council, necessitated by the death of longtimecouncillor MaryWade Anderson in June. Peace Arch News invited all candidates to answer our brief questionnaire. We asked for names, occupations and top three issues (three words or less). We also asked what issues each would raise as councillor that are currently being ignored or underdiscussed (20 words); whether White Rock should consider rejoining Surrey (one word); and why voters should elect them (50 words). Candidates were advised that their answers would be truncated at the word count. Otherwise, their answers are printed as submitted. Candidates are listed in the order they will appear on the ballot, per the city’s random draw.

Meet them An all-candidates meeting is planned for Oct. 30, 7-9 p.m. Moderated by Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg, the event – to be held at White Rock Elementary, 1273 Fir St. – is hosted by the South Surrey White Rock Chamber of Commerce and White Rock Business Improvement Association.

Surrey anticipates $10m for suites › from page 1 support standard infrastructure such as road improvements,” Gill said Wednesday. The city has identified 23,500 suites so far, and expects to find another 1,000 this year. Gill expects the suite fee to generate almost $10 million a year. The drainage fee increase on all homes is higher than normal because the city is now collecting for localized flooding due to global warming, Gill said. On the spending side, Surrey is planning to hire 12 more police

officers. How many of those will be community safety officers is up to the officer in command. The city is expected to hire four more firefighters and will budget for an animal-control manager. Some of the capital projects the city will be paying for next year include infrastructure improvements at Newton Athletic Park ($2.9 million), a covered youth park in Cloverdale ($1.5 million), advanced design work for a multipurpose space in Fleetwood ($1.3 million of the $15.5 million total paid over future years), design of

an artificial turf field ($500,000 of the $2-million total). Surrey is also planning to budget $16 million next year for the $41-million Guildford Pool and $20 million for the $53-million Grandview Pool. Surrey has also experienced unexpected costs, including $9 million in wire theft over the last three years. Paying for that damage has come from a pool of money which will soon be depleted, Gill said. The budget is to be considered by council Dec. 10.

Future zoning to ‘reduce house size’ › from page 1 Coun. Al Campbell said that while area residents haven’t called him directly with concerns, emails have been received by the mayor and council en masse. Neighbours are “a little astonished, a little horrified,” Campbell said. Campbell described the extent of house that is to be built underground as “very unique and very unusual,” and said he was surprised the excavation effort didn’t include some sort of support. (Stanton confirmed Monday the developer is working with a geotechnical engineer regarding shoring for the excavation. Attempts by PAN to speak to the owner have been unsuccessful.)

Designs, Campbell said, show the finished house surrounded by concrete courtyards, and a rec room situated under a six-car garage. “When it’s finished, it’ll be very beautiful,” he said. Campbell said he does not believe the structure will set a precedent for an influx of similar developments. “I can only imagine what this house is going to cost. Very few people are going to come and spend that sort of money,” Campbell said. He said that while he doesn’t particularly want to see more lots developed in the same way – and noted opportunities to do so in White Rock are limited – neigh-

bours of this project won’t have any greater obstruction than they would have had if a standard single-family home was being built. “It’s not higher, it’s no bigger offsets. There’s no variances here at all,” Campbell said. Stanton said an ongoing review of the zoning bylaw that is expected to result in a new bylaw by the end of the year will look at options “of how to reduce houses of that size” in the future. Until then, “the legislation’s very clear.” “If they meet the B.C. Building Code requirements and they meet the city’s zoning bylaw and other criteria, we have an obligation – we have to issue the permit.”

Surrey council endorses plan for Newton bingo hall

Short-term slots approved Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey council has endorsed a plan to fire up 150 slot machines at a Newton bingo hall. The highly contentious plan has been started and stalled several times in the past three years, with many civic officials saying most recently that the Newton site isn’t appropriate for slots. On Monday night, Surrey council received a corporate report requesting the temporary activation of slots at Bingo Country, at 7093 King George Blvd. The slots would be activated for a year and a half, or until a casino is approved for South Surrey, whichever comes first. The idea of slots at the Newton site has been rife with controversy. The bingo hall rezoning, which was allowed at a contentious 5-4 vote of council in 2009, was granted in part on the promise of a $25 million investment by

the original applicant, Boardwalk Gaming. Boardwalk sold the property to Gateway, releasing either party of the commitment for investment. Peace Arch News reported last spring that the city, Gateway Gaming and Entertainment and the provincial lottery corporation were working on plans to shut down a casino at 7093 King George Blvd. in Newton in favour of a $100 million yet-to-be built facility in South Surrey at 10 Avenue and 168 Street. The corporate report before council Monday recommended allowing the slots, but indicated Surrey isn’t willing to roll the dice on the Newton site, even in the short term. Staff recommended conditions of approval include addressing community concerns, such as safety and promising to renovate the existing facility if council votes down the South Surrey site.

Council voted 6-3 to allow the slots at the Newton bingo hall for 18 months. Couns. Judy Villeneuve, Marvin Hunt and Barinder Rasode were opposed. “I don’t believe it is the site for slot machines,” Rasode said before the meeting. “Even in the short term.” Months ago, some city councillors said publicly they no longer wanted the Newton facility. Mayor Dianne Watts told Black Press in May she wouldn’t be heartbroken to see the facility leave Newton. “I just think that the Newton site was not appropriate, and I know that many of us struggled with that site, but supported it because the non-profits were (previously) getting the dollars,” Watts said at the time. On Monday, she said there are still challenges with the site, but better opportunities are being presented.

Costs of mistake continue to mount

ike a scene unfolding in ultra slow motion, the senselessness of a few minutes on a May night in White Rock continue to leave a wake of havoc – and a sobering lesson in the consequences of our actions. Kyle Brandon Danyliuk summed it up himself at his September sentencing hearing. On May 18, 2011, he said, he was driving when he shouldn’t have been, and as a result “ruined the lives of a lot of people” as well as his own. One life, in fact, was lost. Resident Marilyn Laursen was killed when the car Danyliuk was driving hit her in a crosswalk during a highspeed chase in which he was being pursued by a White Rock RCMP cruiser. Another victim, in a car previously struck by Danyliuk’s vehicle, still suffers from her injuries. Danyliuk, who had been evading a police stop, fled the scene, ditched the car and, for two months until his arrest, maintained the vehicle had been stolen. The 20-year-old is scheduled to learn today (Thursday) whether he will be sentenced to the full 48 months asked for by the Crown prosecutor. The case has been made that he has since taken responsibility by pleading guilty to all four dangerous-driving charges against him; that he has shown genuine remorse, followed all bail conditions. The judge has heard that he has “turned his life around” and that he plans to marry the mother of his child. In his actions to change his life, we can only wish him well. But as Danyliuk noted, the damage from his actions is not confined to the immediate victims. The grief felt by family members and friends – and the anguish of witnesses – is still intense, more than a year and a half later. Less important, but significant nonetheless, is the financial impact. Court costs and fees, in what is already an overtaxed legal system, are still being tallied. Even White Rock’s city budget was down by $203,000 last year, after the White Rock detachment got the bill for Surrey RCMP’s help in investigating the incident. The latest chapter of misfortune continued in Surrey Provincial Court this week. White Rock RCMP Const. David Bickle faces criminal charges for his part in the high-speed pursuit. The charges, of dangerous driving causing death and injury, were brought against Bickle after a further costly investigation, this one by Vancouver Police at the request of the RCMP. But the ultimate price of this likely precedentsetting case – both for the officer himself, and the way police subsequently interpret their duty to protect the communities they serve – can only be guessed at.

around. And to those who blame the child – or parents – I only hope you never have to turn that finger back on your loved ones. Whether pit bulls by design are volatile beasts or misunderstood beings, I leave to you. I only know that when an animal does as much damage as was suffered by Emma, I will endeavour to accurately report what happened, as attributed to witnesses and officials, including breed and circumstances. There’s your ‘media conspiracy.’ In this particular case, however, the arguments haven’t stopped with the usual vitriol. They branch out to personal attacks and vendettas, all based on misinformation. Ironically, one of the reasons Biniaz was so grateful for being named Miss Universe Canada last May was so she could draw attention to not only aggressive dogs but bullying. It looks like, in one fell swoop, she’s managed both. Still, there’s nothing fair about it. It’s unfair to Biniaz, unfair to the dog’s owner, unfair to Emma and, ultimately, unfair to the pit bull itself, who paid the ultimate price. As for her canine campaign, Biniaz notes – politely but emphatically – that breed bans do more harm than good. Instead, she calls for mandatory muzzles on dogs that are considered dangerous – including rottweilers, pit bulls, dobermans and German shepherds – when out in public or near children. And for that strong stance, her critics are no doubt ready to pounce again. But also for that – quoted accurately – she’s willing to live with those battle scars.

Traffic flow trumps safety Editor: Re: Freeway on-ramp official, Oct. 16. Langley Township has spoken of widening 16 Avenue for 30 years without doing it. During that period, more and more traffic was dumped onto 16th in advance of this now mythic upgrade – of late, speed-humping Zero Avenue to dump its traffic onto 16th and the punching through of 192 Street to allow industrial park traffic to access 16th. Now we learn that Highway 99 will soon be disgorging its traffic and yet more trucks onto 16th. Township Mayor Jack Froese’s vague reference to the need to address safety on 16 Avenue looks like lip service, given that there is no plan to make the road safer. Worsening the nightmare traffic on 16th does not make it safer any more than buying a case of wine for a wino is keeping him safe, but it is one way to get him out of your face for awhile. And so it is with excess traffic. Dumping it on hapless residents is little different than dumping urban garbage on rural communities simply because you can get away with it. Policy-makers don’t live there, so why not? Yes, I live on 16 Avenue. It is still a country road, one lane in each direction. We have had no garbage pickup or home mail delivery for 20 years because it is too unsafe. Approximately 20,000 vehicles roar past my driveway each day. About a quarter of those are large trucks and in particular, tandem dump trucks loaded with gravel. Residents here have put up with a lot and with a minimum of complaining, which, in retrospect, was probably a mistake – no squeak, no grease – because the nightmare just gets worse. Is it enhancing safety or enhancing traffic flow that authorities wish to address on 16 Avenue? They claim it is the former, when it is so obviously the latter. At some point, the up-isdown reverse speak becomes an insult to one’s intelligence. Just do the right thing. This exchange, that will worsen a bad situation, is not it. Steve McIntyre, Langley

Enforce rules for smokers Editor: Re: Cancer patients struggle with gauntlet, Oct. 16. I read the article in last week’s paper, regarding the man who was leaving the cancer clinic into a cloud of smoke. I was disgusted to read further that a clinic employee was one of the offenders. To read that the bylaw people are not able to address this issue is inexcusable. My father died of cancer October 2001 and I have a allergy to

cigarette smoke. My dad quit smoking for me and still died of lung cancer. This article made me a little angry. I do all the cancer and hospital runs with Peninsula Runners. Smokers should not be able to just do as they please. We cannot drink freely in the streets, make camp in bus shelters… so why is it OK that people just smoke at will, torturing others whenever they please? We went out for a bite to eat tonight, and I had to cover my face with my jacket so I did not gag on the smoke. Returning to Peninsula Runners after a workout, why should I have to inhale the disgusting cigarette smoke of those having a coffee outside Starbucks? If anyone figures out what to do about this disgusting problem, I would love to be a part of the solution. Miriam Williamson, Surrey

I never paid to park anywhere during my visit, not even at the busy Granville Island, but had to pay $9 to have a $360 dinner.

A one-time youth protestor looks at Cherry Point in a new light years later.

Early fears unfounded Editor: I am confused by all the opposition to the Northern Gateway oil pipeline and Kinder Morgan initiatives in Burnaby. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, I was part of a youth movement opposed to the Cherry Point Refinery in Washington state, less than several kilometres to the south of White Rock in Whatcom County. Since then, my concerns of super oil tanker traffic have been unfounded with not a single incident of an oil spill attracting environmental concern. So I ask, what is the lack of faith in the new initiatives in this province,

or have we forgotten about the old ones’ success due to lack of critical incidents? Today, I look at the Cherry Point Refinery in Washington as a success, unfortunately disproving my concerns of years gone by. In fact, I remember doing a school assignment on the environment and featured the Cherry Point Refinery as being a disaster waiting to happen. I think with correct and proper management – as exampled by the likes of the Cherry Point refinery – that yes, there is always a risk, but it might not be as great we fear. Ron Eves, White Rock

Marine Drive need to pressure the City of White Rock to waive the parking fees during the evening, especially during the off-season. Being a bit more lenient when ticketing tourists would also be a great suggestion, as I know that the small fee and ticket have resulted in my decision to avoid the beach area on my next visit. Judging by how empty the restaurants were on this evening, it would appear that they can use all the help they can in getting more business. Too bad the city does not see it that way. Mike Blayney, Calgary, Alta.

Our future not worth risking Editor: As B.C. political heat rises, we all want to do the right thing. For me it is writing you. The value of our specie’s survival should be greater than short-term economic gain. No one would dispute that our health, and that of future generations, is tied to the health of our land and water. Both fossil and nuclear fuels result in toxic waste and will eventually result in sickness if we don’t encourage officials to increase efforts of a sustainability plan using non-damaging fuels and put our bright scientists and engineers to work doing so. To continue down the road of tar-sands expansion and ship the resource across ecologically critical ocean is unconscionable. Long-term economic growth with sustainable resources should be invested in. This sustainability will bring us security. Risking death of our oceans – a primary healthy food source and ecological wonder – will not! Can we Canadians be more creative than this? I hope we can. Diane Matier, Surrey n Re: Celebrate oil facts not foolishness, Oct. 23 BC Views Some 3,000 showed up in Victoria, after using oil and gasoline consuming cars, buses and ferry system, polluting the air, to express their opposition to the coming of future jobs for thousands. In their poorly prepared view, of the assumed risk, of building pipe lines, wasting thousands of dollars, without ever – yes ever – picking up a pen to draft an alternative. The well-funded national and international front-page names, to this point, have never provided anything else than the negative. Who will be there, in times to come, to cry foul when there are no jobs? All this, under the name of a seemingly left-leaning environmental protection. The reality is, it may use much time and many dollars, but in the end the pipelines will come and provide the resources the world’s rising population expects, not to forget also our revenue. The shortsightedness will harm our country more than is anticipated. Suan H. Booiman, White Rock

City OKs return of used carts Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

Surrey residents who are waiting for smaller trash carts to arrive should simply use the bigger ones they were issued until replacements arrive, a city spokesperson said this week. Rob Costanzo, Surrey’s deputy operations manager in the engineering department, said Monday that the city will take back the bigger carts even if they’ve been used. “We simply sanitize the (used) cart,” Costanzo said. The issue was raised this week by South Surrey resident Al Ironside, who was storing his trash in his garage while he waited for the 120-litre waste carts he requested in September, before the new bins were distributed. Despite his request, Ironside said he was issued the much larger 240-litre waste carts intended for single family houses. The 85-year-old Ironside, a recent widower who lives alone, said he simply doesn’t generate enough trash to justify the bigger carts. Ironside said when he phoned the city, he was told to leave the bigger carts outside to make their retrieval and replacement easier,

and it wasn’t clear if he should keep them empty or use them for trash. After four weeks of waiting for the bigger carts to arrive, Ironside had accumulated a few small plastic bags of garbage in one corner of his garage next to some neatly stacked newspapers and metal recyclables. His collected kitchen waste amounted to a half-filled lunchbag-sized paper bag. After Peace Arch News contacted the city Monday about

his concerns, Ironside said he was reached by phone later that day and by Tuesday morning, the smaller bins had arrived. “I’ve got the whole works now,” he said. Ironside stressed he is a supporter of the new waste-collection system, which aims to reduce the amount of recyclables buried in landfills by separating out organic kitchen and yard waste. “I think it’s a good idea myself,” Ironside said. The city estimates less than 10 per cent of Surrey residents have requested a switch to differentsized waste carts. The carts come in five sizes; 80, 120, 180, 240 and 360 litres. Residents like Ironside, who were asking for the 120-litre size, faced an additional wait, because the supplier had run out of that specific size and more had to be manufactured to meet the demand. A new production run of the 120s was expected to begin arriving this week. More information about the new pickup system is available at the city’s website, www.surrey. ca/rethinkwaste or by calling the waste collection hotline at 604590-7289.

In a brief appearance Tuesday in Surrey Provincial Court, a South Surrey man who pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography confirmed he has found another lawyer to represent him. Douglas Wayne Bowers told Judge Michael Hicks he was approved for legal aid that morning. He told Hicks last week – on what was scheduled to be a continuation of a sentencing hearing – that he had to fire his previous lawyer after publicity around his guilty plea cost him work, and he could no longer afford his attorney.

This next lawyer will be Bowers’ third since he was charged in September 2009 following an investigation that began in October 2008. Hicks urged Bowers to connect with his new lawyer “right away,” and ordered him to return to court next week, “to ensure this matter is not languishing in any way.” The comments follow a series of delays in the proceedings, including in March, when Bowers applied to withdraw his guilty plea, and in August, when he was granted an adjournment in his sentencing hearing due to health issues. Bowers is to return to court on Oct. 30.

City’s terms of reverence The City of White Rock has placed in the top five out of 32 municipalities in an Architectural Institute of B.C. review. The recognition, announced Oct. 23, is for the terms of reference for the city’s Advisory Design Panel, which are being cited as a model of clarity by the institute. The terms of reference were rewritten in 2009 to more clearly define roles and responsibilities, and the city’s submission and presentation

requirements. White Rock’s top-five finish – in what the institute promises will be an annual ranking – means it will be cited as an example for other municipalities seeking to establish or improve their terms of reference for advisory design panels. Mayor Wayne Baldwin congratulated staff on “a great accomplishment.” “Even more important is that we have terms of reference that are acknowledged as clear and easy to follow,” he said.

The challenging and compelling hour-long film follows three families – one in B.C. – who must make the difficult decision whether or not to be tested for Huntington’s disease. A genetic disorder which leads to the degeneration of

brain functions and muscle co-ordination, Huntington’s is incurable, and people in afflicted families have a 50/50 chance of inheriting the gene. In a brief prescreening presentation, A Public Space for Independent Voices network president and CEO Rudy Buttignol will discuss how the film typifies the commercial-free content of the Knowledge Network, which also airs arts and culture and children’s programming created both in B.C. and the rest of Canada, and around the world. The broadcast premiere of Do You Really Want To Know? will take place on Nov. 20.

PLANNING TOURS

his is the time of year we sit down and start planning our tours for the following year. Since we don’t do the same tours each year, it gets difficult to anticipate where people want to go to. Also since we cater to seniors, we need to have a good mix. Some trips short and within Canada for insurance purposes and also we try to keep the pace a manageable one. It is a dilemma. This past year we had several short trips within BC and the numbers were small. We never cancelled any of the tours but it was a pretty big bus at times with many empty seats. We won’t go to a smaller bus as the price difference is nominal and those smaller mini busses are hard to see out the front window. I had an experience with one this spring and said NEVER again! So back to planning next year. Well we always seem to do well with a trip to Palm Springs each year so we decided this year to add Las Vegas and a repositioning cruise back to Vancouver. Our other big one will be Alaska by coach for 14 days and then a 7 day cruise from Anchorage to Vancouver. It has been amazing putting this particular tour together and one in

high demand now for several years. Other plans are a trip to the colorful Cascades and Lake Chelan in the Fall, the rugged, wild yet peaceful Oregon Coast and another fall trip to the Glacier-Waterton National Park and ride the jammer busses over the pass. This year we will be offering an early booking incentive on all our tours. Dealing with last minute bookings can be disappointing if the tour is full for the client and hard to plan for us when having to notify hotels of our room requirements a month in advance. Book 60 days or more before the trip and receive a $50 credit per person. I have put some pictures I hope you will enjoy from this past years tours. Our 2013 full brochure comes out in December so make sure you are on our mailing list. By the way our Victorian Country Christmas tour has been sold out now for the last month but we still have space on our Leavenworth tour and have reduced the pricing to $499 pp dble occ.

Dec. 3 pegged for Port Mann Jeff Nagel Black Press

The new Port Mann Bridge may officially open with eight lanes on Dec. 3, although transportation ministry officials won’t confirm the date circulated by the bus drivers’ union. Canadian Auto Workers local 111 president Don MacLeod said the union was notified drivers will be required to run the new Highway 1 Rapid Bus service, which is promised to be in place on opening day of the new bridge. “My understanding is the first Monday in December,” he said. A ministry spokesman said the bridge official opening date will be announced in the coming weeks, giving drivers enough notice of the traffic-pattern change and the date tolling will start. There have been no difficulties with construction and work remains on schedule for an eight-lane opening sometime in December as planned, the spokesman said. The remaining two of 10 lanes would open about a year later because of subsequent work to dismantle the old bridge and its approaches. The bridge will be free for the first week it’s open before halfprice tolls of $1.50 per standard vehicle kick in. The discount from regular $3 tolls ends March 1 for drivers who don’t register with the Treo electronic tolling

system by then. Those who do register lock in the discount for one year and those who sign up before December also get a credit for 20 free crossings. The new bridge is to restore transit service to the corridor, which hasn’t seen a Coast Mountain bus in decades due to congestion. TransLink kept the planned Port Mann bus service in the latest version of its 2013 plan in September, even though mayors have vowed to rescind a $30-million property tax hike and press the province to replace it with a different source. “It is TransLink’s intention to have this service in place for when the bridge opens, but we do not have an opening date yet,” spokesperson Debbie Parhar said. “We are getting prepared but there have been no assignments or driver sign up yet.” The planned Rapid Bus service will be scaled back from what was originally envisioned due to declining TransLink revenue. The buses were to run over the new bridge every 10 minutes all day – now they’ll only run every 10 minutes in the morning and afternoon peaks and be cut to every 30 minutes at offpeak times. And it will only go from Langley to Braid Station, not to Lougheed Station as previously planned.

Council mulls proposal for stacked triplex Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A triplex proposed for the 15000-block of Buena Vista Avenue will result in three, 2,500-square-foot homes – one on top of the other – if rezoning of the site is approved by White Rock council. And while staff are recommending council move the “stacked triplex” forward, given it meets all of the city’s policies for rezoning, the support is not without reservations. In an Oct. 15 report to the city’s land use and planning committee, director of planning and development services Paul Stanton said it is the units’ size and the fact the entire first unit will be located below average natural grade that causes concern. “By taking advantage of the slope on the lands and by excavating into that slope, (developers) have been able to obtain more floor area then intended for the RT-2 zone,” Stanton states. At the same time, it is no different than all other hillside housing projects, he said. Any construction that starts two feet or lower below average natural grade is not factored into floor-area ratio calculations. For this project, that means the lower unit and parking garages were not considered in the equation. If approved, the finished project will feature four storeys, with double garages at the basement level for each unit, and access off of Blackwood

Street. At a public information meeting held Oct. 3 at the White Rock Library, the project was “fairly well-received,” Stanton told the committee. The main concern expressed was to do with the loss of two on-street parking spots on Blackwood. Coun. Al Campbell described the proposed design as “very beautiful,” but said he is concerned about the potential impact of a planned elevator shaft to the roofline. “It’s important to me that… that doesn’t become part of (area residents’) view,” he said. Other concerns noted by councillors included that only one visitor parking spot is proposed; that driveway access is an “acute turn”; and with an apparent loss of development cost charges. Stanton explained that the latter is due to credit applied for demolition of an existing home on the site. Coun. Louise Hutchinson added that the issue of average natural grade is “a very sore point right now.” The committee voted unanimously (with Coun. Larry Robinson and Mayor Wayne Baldwin absent) to recommend council give the bylaw amendment first and second reading, and direct staff to schedule a public hearing. Coun. Helen Fathers said she, too, has reservations about the proposal, “I want to hear what the public says.”

Premier Christy Clark announced a review of teacher bargaining last week, with a goal of reaching a 10-year agreement that would put an end to decades of battles with the BC Teachers’ Federation.

A White Rock RCMP constable who is facing criminal charges in connection with the May 2011 hit-and-run death of 56-year-old Marilyn Laursen is due back in court Nov. 9. In a brief appearance at Surrey Provincial Court Tuesday morning, David Bickleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer, G. Jack Harris, told court officials he is still waiting for documents

Bickle, who has been with the White Rock detachment since 2009, did not appear in person. Charges of dangerous driving causing death and dangerous driving causing bodily harm were announced against the officer in August, following an investiga-

tion conducted by the Vancouver Police Department at the request of the RCMP. The investigation was launched immediately following the collision that killed Laursen, who was crossing Johnston Road at Thrift Avenue with a friend. The driver of the car that hit her, Kyle Brandon Danyliuk, pleaded guilty in February to four charges in connection with Laursenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death. Danyliuk is to be sentenced Thursday.

Transit fare evasion Saturday, October 27 to Monday, December 31 more than doubles Lift Chair Sale th

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Bus drivers pushed their fare-notpaid buttons 2.5 million times last year to record passengers who boarded without paying the full transit fare. While that amounts to barely one per cent of the 230 million bus trips in the region in 2011, the real number is believed to be higher because some drivers, frustrated by lax enforcement, have given up pushing the button. “They’ve done it diligently and nothing’s happened,” said Don MacLeod, president of the union representing bus drivers. He estimates the lost fares add up to at least $5 million a year from buses alone. The recent provincial audit of TransLink found fare evasion across the entire system rose 120 per cent from an estimated $6.6 million in losses in 2001 to $14.5 million last year.

Lost fares are estimated to add up to $5 million a year for TransLink.

That’s less dramatic than it sounds – factor in a 21 per cent increase in ridership and a 65 per cent fare price increase since 2001 and losses should account for more than $13 million by now if the same proportion of riders › see page 30

Turnstiles won’t stop all cheats The provincial audit counts on a big drop in fare evasion once TransLink activates its $171-million system of fare gates and Compass smart cards. But officials say some cheating will continue. As with other jurisdictions, dishonest passengers will find ways to crawl under or over the paddle-style gates or go through two at a time. Transit Police plan continued fare checks within fare-paid zones to catch those cheats. But the audit also warns other transit authorities that have introduced smart card payment have run into significant levels of fraud. “It is similar to credit

care fraud and will exist regardless of the security features in place,” the audit said, adding Transit Police will need to develop more sophisticated investigative techniques to pursue smart card fraudsters. TransLink officials expect smart cards will reduce much existing fraud, such as the counterfeiting of monthly passes and U-Passes. The net savings from the gates and cards project is estimated at $22 million over 15 years. Part of that is through less fare evasion, but also reduced ticket printing costs, faster bus loading and increased ridership due to an improved perception of safety.

Losses ‘distract’

› from page 29 cheat. MacLeod said the problem is most prevalent on Vancouver routes. Drivers are told not to risk a beating by arguing with fare cheats or delaying other passengers but 165 drivers a year are still assaulted each year, often due to fare payment disputes. MacLeod said Transit Police have stepped up patrols on buses and are committing to do more yet, particularly after SkyTrain fare gates and smart cards are introduced next year. TransLink has also been given new collection tools to enforce payment of fare evasion fines using ICBC and bill collectors. It claims early signs of progress, with markedly fewer people caught without the correct fare in September fare checks. The government audit gave no clear prescription to combat fare evasion, predicting SkyTrain fare gates will “dramatically reduce” the problem, allowing TransLink to thin the ranks of Transit Police, who cost $27 million a year. That was the last of 27 recommendations that focused on making transit more efficient to cut costs, even if it means cutting service frequency on some routes. The report listed five likely factors behind the increase in fare evasion:

- The 11 per cent fare increase in 2010 that made transit less affordable to some people. - Expansion of the U-Pass program, making it more profitable to make and sell illegal counterfeits. - Increased ridership due to the Canada Line’s launch. - Media reports that fare evasion goes unpunished. - More chronic fare evaders due to the economic downturn. Talk of TransLink collecting new taxes or road tolls to expand the transit system has fueled a backlash on talk radio and letters to the editor, with many people insisting fare evasion be fixed first. Some observers say the issue is being used to derail a serious discussion of how to pay for improved transit. “The agenda is don’t give TransLink any more money,” said SFU City Program director Gordon Price. Transit advocate and former Vancouver Councillor Peter Ladner said fare evasion should be fought, but it shouldn’t overshadow the big picture of providing adequate service as Metro Vancouver’s population climbs. “To think we shouldn’t go ahead with transit improvements until we fix that – it’s a distraction,” Ladner said. “It’s not a reason to walk way from the funding discussion.”

Protesters crowd the B.C. Legislature Monday.

Black Press

More than 2,000 protesters gathered on the B.C. legislature lawn Monday, some promising to provoke arrests as well as criticizing proposed heavy oil pipelines from Alberta to the B.C. coast. Organizers offered training in civil disobedience techniques to the more than 1,000 people who signed up for the protest, under the banner of Defend Our Coast. Sponsored by Greenpeace and the Council of Canadians, the coalition includes unions, aboriginal leaders and environmental organizations. Victoria Police were out in force to back up legislature security, who locked the buildings down and turned away visitors for the day. The protest focused on two proposed projects, Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline from northern Alberta to Kitimat and the pending application by Kinder Morgan to twin its oil pipeline that has been carrying Alberta oil to Burnaby and Washington state for more than 60 years. Among the speakers was David Coles, president of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union. He said his union is “diametrically opposed” to pipeline expansion, despite the fact it represents employees at the Chevron refinery in Burnaby that is supplied by the Trans Mountain oil pipeline

from Alberta. The new proposals are “job killers” because more diluted bitumen from the Alberta oil sands will be shipped out raw, either from Burnaby or Kitimat, Coles said. Protesters ringed the crowd with sections of black banner described as being the length of an oil tanker, and staked it to the legislature lawn. That is technically a violation of legislature rules, which are aimed at preventing people from setting up tents and other structures on the lawn. Art Sterritt, executive director of the Coastal First Nations group on B.C.’s North Coast, said the protest is designed to show Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Premier Christy Clark that people are prepared to “stand in front of the bulldozers” to stop the projects. Other speakers included federal Green Party Leader Elizabeth May and BC Teachers’ Federation president Susan Lambert. Maude Barlow, national chair of the Council of Canadians, called for opposition to gas pipelines and liquefied natural gas exports from norhern B.C. as well. Supporters of the oil sands protest include Simon Fraser University professor Mark Jaccard, former United Nations ambassador Stephen Lewis and U.S. environmentalist Bill McKibben, a leading campaigner for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Surrey man’s appeal denied

Murder conviction will stand Sheila Reynolds Black Press

The first-degree murder conviction of a Surrey father-of-two who stabbed his wife to death in 2008 will stand, after his appeal was dismissed this week. The man killed his wife in their home in Fleetwood on Jan. 15, 2008 and then attempted to take his own life, but failed. She was 50 years old and he was 51 at the time. They had two daughters. There is a publication ban on any information that would identify the victim or witnesses, including the murderer. At a hearing last month in the B.C. Court of Appeal, it was alleged the trial judge erred in admitting as evidence hearsay statements the deceased woman had made to her daughter, and relied on that evidence in finding the murder was planned in advance. During the murder trial in 2009, the court heard that the couple’s marriage began deteriorating in 2006. The husband suspected his wife was having an affair and started recording her telephone conversations. On the day of the murder, he drove their youngest daughter to school and went home, where he had an argument with his wife. He then got a large knife from a crawl space where he’d hidden it and returned to the bedroom where his wife was laying on the bed. He stabbed her several times, killing her. The man then went to the bank and got numerous items from a safety deposit box. At home, he spread documents

498 .99

across the kitchen counter, including wills, a mortgage, a document called “the Real Truth” and two letters addressed to his daughters. There were also six CDs of intercepted phone calls between his wife and her male friend. He picked his daughter up from school and took her to a relative’s house and then went home and ingested a mixture of sleeping pills, alcohol and insecticide. When he didn’t pick up his daughter later, relatives went to the home and found a note on the bedroom door: “Please don’t open this door. Please call police. Call 911. We are both dead inside. I have killed A. and myself.” The three appeal court justices agreed the evidence during trial of planning and deliberation was “overwhelming.” There were not only numerous incriminating statements in the documents he left, saying he had warned his wife he would kill her, but his conduct was not impulsive. His “highly organized activities after the murder demonstrated that he was engaged in carrying out a plan,” writes Chief Justice Lance Finch in dismissing the appeal. “Rather, as (the trial judge) found, the actions were manipulative and indicative of an individual in the process of carrying out a plan to kill both his wife and himself.” First-degree murder carries an automatic life sentence with no chance to apply for parole for 25 years.

Attorney General aims to end ‘culture of delay’

Changes aim to unclog courts Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – Attorney General Shirley Bond has launched a new court management system designed to improve efficiency and cut down the backlog of criminal cases. The changes are based on a review of the system conducted by lawyer Geoffrey Cowper, which analyzed a “culture of delay” that resists change. Cowper concluded the problem is partly because there is an incentive, particularly for defence lawyers, to delay cases, and no system for enforcing timely hearings of evidence. “During the review there was a general sense that judges and lawyers have their own, insulated sense of what constitutes timeliness and responsiveness,” Cowper wrote in his report, released in September. Bond announced the first phase of changes, including the establishment of a new oversight organization. “The Justice and Public Safety Council will be asked to publish performance measures, and we’re going to look at designing and determining what those measures are, and there will be targets attached to them,” Bond said at a news conference in Kamloops Monday. Samiran Lakshman, president of the B.C. Crown Counsel Association, said he welcomes the

changes to a system that has prosecutors in some communities overwhelmed. “Not every courthouse has a delay problem,” Lakshman said. “We have acute delay issues in the busiest courthouse in the province, which is Surrey, as well as places like Fort St. John, Nanaimo and Richmond.” In Surrey, he said it currently takes 14 months or more to schedule a half a day for a brief trial. Defendants who have waited 18 months or more can apply for and often receive a stay of proceedings because their case has taken too long. Both Lakshman and NDP justice critic Leonard Krog have repeatedly pointed to a reduction of 16 provincial court judges since 2005. Lakshman said the recent imposition of a government-wide hiring freeze has slowed the replacement of prosecutors, sheriffs and court clerks, because each new hire requires approval from the head of the public service. Bond has questioned why waiting time in courts goes up even when the crime rate and the number of new cases declines. She says it should not take an average of seven appearances in court before a criminal case goes to trial. In his report, Cowper noted that 98 per cent of criminal cases end

Weapons charges Sheila Reynolds Black Press

An armed Surrey man who was arrested after a 10-hour stand-off at a Vancouver hotel last week is now facing a series of weapons charges. Ranjit Singh Sandhu has been charged with unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a weapon dangerous to the public and two counts of possession of a prohibited weapon. According to Vancouver Police, a 28-year-old “distraught” man was arrested at the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel at about 12:15 p.m. Oct. 15 and taken

to hospital with minor injuries. He entered the hotel at approximately 2:30 a.m. and as he walked past the front desk, staff noticed he was carrying a handgun. He then walked to an unoccupied, common area of the hotel where he remained by himself. He had no hostages and did not say what he wanted. A portion of the hotel was locked down with guests asked to remain in their rooms, and part of the street near the hotel at 1038 Canada Pl. was closed to vehicles and pedestrians for several hours.

with a guilty plea or a stay of proceedings, but the system treats all cases as if they are going to trial. He said the number of new cases dropped sharply last year as most impaired driving charges were replaced with roadside

suspensions, and now is at the same level as the early 1990s. “The current rules were the result of a wholesale change made over a decade ago to involve judges more actively in the pre-trial phase of proceedings to encourage early

resolution and reduce the high proportion of cases that collapse on the first day of trial,” Cowper wrote. “Neither prosecutors nor defence counsel changed their practices in order to realize the potential of the new rules.”

Clockwise from far left: a family of participants – pets included – dress up for the occasion; a crowd forms at the starting line; Mark Madryga, host of the event, speaks to the crowd; Marcia Madryga – Mark’s mother – crosses the finish line.

Film featured at inaugural South Asian Film Festival

Local filmmaker unveils new documentary Sheila Reynolds

Black Press

t was a good story, plain and simple. And so Nimisha Mukerji didn’t hesitate long before deciding to use her filmmaking skills to tell it. Her uncle, Vinay Shetty, told her of his ongoing struggle to get medication for thousands of kids in India born with thalassemia, a rare genetic blood disease. He introduced Mukerji to Imran, an Eminem-loving 24-year-old who works at a call centre, and Divya, a bright-eyed 14-year-old who just wants to go to study and “become someone.” Both have thalassemia major, a disorder that destroys red blood cells and causes severe anemia. For Imran and Divya, it has meant a life of hospital visits, blood transfusions and stunted growth that makes them appear much younger than their years. Most people born with the disease won’t live past age 25. The filmmaker’s meetings in Mumbai resulted in the documentary Blood Relative, a film three years in the making that had its world premier at this month’s Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF), winning Best Canadian Documentary. “The response has been incredible,” she said. Mukerji’s prior documentary, 65 Red Roses, also garnered the 28-year-old plenty of accolades, including Most Popular Canadian Film Award at the 2009 VIFF and Best Documentary Award at the 2009 Arizona Film Festival.

Above, Divya, 14, is featured in local filmmaker Nimisha Mukerji’s (right) documentary Blood Relative. It aired on Oprah Winfrey’s Documentary Club last year. But because her first movie focuses on organ donation, Mukerji wasn’t immediately sold on the idea of tackling another disease for her second project. But any qualms were quickly overcome. “When you’re struck by a good story, you find reasons you should do it,” she said. Mukerji was bitten by the film

bug at Seaquam Secondary in North Delta. But it wasn’t until she was into the second year of her English literature degree at UBC that she rediscovered her passion during an elective film class. “I knew I liked editing and making films, but I didn’t know if I was any good at it.” She applied to UBC’s film program and was turned down. “When I didn’t get in, I knew I really wanted to do film,” she

laughs. The next year, she applied again and was accepted, graduating with a double major in English literature and film production. A year after graduation, she started 65 Red Roses. Finished in 2009, it took 2½ years to make and follows the lives of a young woman and her two online friends who were all battling cystic fibrosis. Now living in White Rock,

Mukerji is excited to screen Blood Relative in Surrey during the upcoming South Asian Film Festival (SAFF). “There’s a huge community there that we can access. It’s kind of nice to be able to bring the film to them, rather than them having to go to Vancouver.” The SAFF, the first in B.C., takes place at six venues in Surrey, Vancouver and Abbotsford from Oct. 31 to Nov. 4. Forty films by Southeast Asian filmmakers will be screened. Blood Relative will be shown Nov. 1, 9 p.m. and Nov. 4, 12 p.m. at Empire Theatres in Guildford, and on Nov. 2, 6 p.m. at Town Cinemas in Abbotsford. For a full schedule, check www. saffcanada.org Mukerji’s next project is already in the works. Called Beauty Mark, it’s a narrative piece rather than a documentary, and explores the world of child beauty pageants.

Scholarship honours longtime teacher Bob LaBonte

Tribute for a note-worthy life Sheila Reynolds Black Press

“Well, it’s a marvelous night for a moondance, With the stars up above in your eyes.” The words are from singer/ songwriter Van Morrison’s Moondance, which was often at the top of Bob LaBonte’s playlist. “That was one of Bob’s signature songs that he used to always play,” said Helen, his wife of 14 years. “But he loved all music. He was one of those guys that he’d hear a tune once and he could play it.” That unbridled musical talent and passion were celebrated Wednesday evening at a tribute concert at Frank Hurt Secondary to honour LaBonte, who taught in the Surrey School District for 38 years prior to his death in August. “It’s really for the students,” said Helen, noting Bob’s summer memorial service was limited to family and close friends. “The students just really want to say thank you.” La Bonte got his musical start playing accordion as a small child. And while piano and keyboard became his specialty, he had a broad knowledge of instruments. “Of course, he played most instruments because he felt if he was teaching, he should be

proficient on them,” said Helen. “He was totally dedicated to his teaching.” And while he enjoyed all music, conducting groups such as the Whalley Legion Junior Community Band and the Pacificaires, jazz was his forté. That was apparent even as a student at UBC, where he started the university’s first jazz band. He went on to found the Envision Jazz Festival 30 years ago in Surrey, which now attracts thousands of high school students from across the Pacific Northwest annually. He was also president of the

Surrey Music Educators Association and was inducted into the MusicFest Canada Hall of Fame in 2005. “Anything music, that was Bob. He never said no,” said Helen, adding he was particularly proud of his hall of fame honour. LaBonte had actually retired after 35 years of teaching, but came out of retirement to teach at Frank Hurt for the past three years. His students performed at the concert. Franz Weisinger, a band teacher at Kwantlen Park Secondary in Surrey, helped organize the tribute. While he’s been teaching for 14 or so years, his passion for music links directly back to LaBonte, who was Weisinger’s high school band teacher in the late ’80s at Guildford Park Secondary. Weisinger insists he wouldn’t have a career or much of a future if it wasn’t for LaBonte. “He touched so many students’ lives,” said Weisinger, recalling many students who had difficult home lives and backgrounds. “He really made coming to school bearable.” A music scholarship has also been set up – The Bob LaBonte Scholarship Fund. Donations can be made to the Surrey School District, care of Frank Hurt Secondary, 13940 77 Ave., Surrey, B.C. V3W 5Z4.

Increased tourism

activity is an important factor in creating new infrastructure and community events, and nurtures a thriving community spirit, which benefits both residents and visitors,” said Tourism Surrey executive director Cathy James. B.C.’s tourism and hospitality industry is now the single largest “primary resource industry” in the province, generating an annual real GDP (2002) of more than $6.4 billion in 2010, ahead of forestry, mining, oil and gas extraction, and agriculture. Tourism and hospitality generated $13.4 billion in annual revenue in 2010. Overall, between 2004 and 2010, industry revenues grew by a total of 25.5 per cent, representing an average annual growth rate of 4.2 per cent. The provincial government’s Gaining the Edge: A Five-year Strategy for Tourism in B.C. targets revenue growth of five per cent a year that will top $18 billion in tourism spending by 2016. The fastest growing sectors for tourism job growth over the next decade are expected to be recreation and entertainment and travel services. There are an estimated 17,943 tourism-related businesses across the province, employing about 260,000 workers, or 10.8 per cent of B.C.’s total labour force of 2.4 million people.

Undefeated Sharks rolling after victory over rivals from Burnaby

Bayside women’s team takes aim at Cup Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Members of the Bayside Sharks women’s team still remember exactly how it felt last fall to lose the Anna Schnell Cup – and to a hated rival, no less. The sting of that 6-0 defeat to Burnaby is not one they’d care to feel again, coach Kyle Ferguson insists, which is why spirits are high this week as the team comes off a 29-22 win over their Burnaby foes. The win also improved the first-place Sharks’ record to a perfect 4-0 in Lower Mainland Tier 1 women’s rugby standings. “We didn’t beat them last year, and the girls were saying that they don’t think they’ve

ever beaten them,” added Ferguson, who is in his second year coaching the team. “So it was a pretty good day, last Saturday.” The Sharks have two games left in the fall regular-season schedule – they host Meralomas Saturday, 11:30 a.m. at South Surrey Athletic Park – before semifinals and, if all goes according to plan, the league finals, with the winner awarded the Schnell Cup. The Sharks have already qualified for the premier league in the spring. “It’s been a really good season so far,” Ferguson said. The team has certainly come a long way in the two years since Ferguson has come aboard. During the last spring season, the

Sharks lost in premier league semifinals to the eventual champions from Velox (Vancouver Island), and two seasons ago, the team finished right at the bottom of the premier league standings. Part of the reason for the improvement, Ferguson said, has been the influx of youth onto the roster. The team currently boasts four players still in high school, including Tanya Lee and Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary Grade 12 student Alex Mueller, both of whom scored tries Saturday against Burnaby. In fact, Mueller, who like the other three rookies also plays on Bayside’s U19 women’s team, is the fall league’s leading point-scorer. “The younger girls have really stepped up

and played well, and it’s pushed the (veteran) players too, I think,” Ferguson said, adding that the team also had a handful of players just one year removed from high school. “They know the younger girls are out there wanting to play, and stay on the field… it’s been a really good mix.” Ferguson also credits injured player-turnedassistant coach Joanna McLennan for helping turn around the team’s fortunes this season. McLennan is sidelined with a knee injury, so Ferguson asked her to stay with the team in a coaching role. “She’s been great, a very big help. It’s taken a little bit of work off my plate and allowed me to focus on other things,” he said.

Arenacross draws 2,000 Rick Kupchuk Black Press

More than 2,000 motocross fans packed the Cloverdale Agriplex over the weekend, taking in the first two rounds of the Canadian Arenacross Championships (CAC). The first of two evenings of racing was close to a sellout Friday night, and was at capacity a night later with 1,200 spectators taking in Saturday’s action. The two Pro classes on the schedule attracted roughly 30 riders, with another 100 riders contesting the amateur categories, which ranged from the 4-6 year-olds on 50cc bikes to the Intermediate and Junior racers in 125cc, 250cc and Open divisions. “It was a good turnout,” said John Hellam of Future West, the promoter of the 12-race CAC series. “Of course we would have liked more, but it was enough to put on a good show.” On the track, local favorite Spencer Knowles of New Westminster took an early points lead in the Pro categories after the first two of 12 races in the CAC series. Knowles placed first in the Pro Open and Pro Am Lites races in round one of the 12-round series Friday night at the Agriplex, and repeated the double again in round two Saturday evening. Rounds 3 and 4 are Friday and Saturday in Chilliwack. The final two races of the series are back in the Cloverdale Agriplex.

Sharks fall to James Bay Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Lightning didn’t strike twice for the Bayside Sharks’ last weekend, as the men’s premier team, which was coming off an impressive come-from-behind win the previous week, was unable to erase an early deficit in a 38-15 loss to James Bay. Playing in Victoria, the Sharks, who travelled to the provincial capital earlier that day, were unable to overcome “ferry legs”, and trailed James Bay 24-3 by

halftime, before managing to get the offence in gear in the second half. Spencer Thorpe and Adam Timler each scored tries for the Sharks, while Dan Dixon chipped in with one penalty kick and one convert. The first division Sharks also took a loss at the hands of James Bay, falling 55-8. Bo Clarke had the Peninsula squad’s lone try, and Graham Rogers added a penalty kick. The Sharks, who had edged the

University of Victoria Vikes two weeks ago – after trailing at halftime 22-0 – now sit fifth in eightteam Canadian Direct Insurance Premier League, with a record of 2-3. They’ve also picked up just one bonus point in five games, but sit just six points shy of first-place Meralomas. Meralomas travels to South Surrey Saturday to take on the Sharks, with the first division clubs kicking off at 1 p.m. and the premiers at 2:45 p.m.

The White RockSouth Surrey Titans are getting set for a full day of football Sunday at South Surrey Athletic Park. For the last time all season, four teams will play in front of home fans, as the flag, peewee, junior bantam and midget teams all play in succession, beginning at 10 a.m. when the flag team takes on Cloverdale, and ending with a midget matchup between White Rock and the visiting Victoria Spartans. A fifth WRSS squad, the atom Titans, are on the road, playing the North Delta Longhorns at John Oliver Park. Sunday is the penultimate week of the regular season, with the Titansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final slate of games, set for Nov. 3, all on the road. Quarter-final playoff tilts, for teams that qualify, start the week of Nov. 11.

Last week, both the flag, peewee and midget Titans won their league games. The flag squad won 18-8 over the North Surrey Ravens, the peewees edged the Burnaby Lions 8-0 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Haydn Stomperud scored the winning touchdown â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the midget team beat the Langley Stampeders by a 20-14 score. In the midget contest, Titansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; running back Dallas Yassinsky scored the go-ahead touchdown with 11 seconds left in the game, running into the end zone from six yards out. The midget Titans, who sit first in the Vancouver Mainland Football League, were coming off a 24-14 win the week before, against the struggling Nanaimo Redmen, who are in last place and have yet to win a game this season. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Nick Greenizan

Soccer club to make official announcement Saturday

Coastal FC set to launch Nick Greenizan

ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION BRANCH #08 WHITE ROCK Weekly at Branch #08

Sports Reporter

On Saturday, it finally becomes official – all amateur soccer associations on the Semiahmoo Peninsula will be united under a single banner. Coastal FC, which combines Semiahmoo (girls), Peace Arch (boys) and South Fraser (premier boys/girls) clubs, has been in operation since the start of the soccer season, but will officially be unveiled Saturday during a busy day at South Surrey Athletic Park. Having all local associations under one umbrella “just makes sense” said Coastal FC president Darryl Jones, who’d previously served as president for Semiahmoo and South Fraser. “And if something makes sense, eventually it will get done if the people involved just hang in there.” The new club comprises approximately 3,000 members, both boys and girls, men and women, Jones said. The amalgamation of soccer clubs has been in the works, or at least discussed informally, for years – “I think we first started talking about six years ago,” Jones said – but there were always roadblocks, be they paper work and red tape, or turnover on each club’s executive boards.

The process became official last week, Jones said, when they received confirmation from the registrar of companies in Victoria. And though the process was a lengthy one, the longtime soccer executive member said he and others are simply relieved to have it complete. “That would be an understatement,” he laughed. “It’s been a mission of mine for quite awhile.”

Saturday’s event begins at 12:30 p.m. and will include an official ribbon-cutting ceremony, followed by autograph signings with current and past members of the Vancouver Whitecaps. There will also be special giveaways planned, as well as a club-hosted tent sale of soccer gear and a barbecue. For more, visit www.coastalfc. ca

Collection 45 pairs up with Vancouver Contemporary Art Gallery

Indulging your artistic side In partnership with the Vancouver Contemporary Art Gallery, Collection 45 is introducing Art Studio 45, a studio facility that will give a local artist an amazing opportunity. Collection 45 is a condominium building in Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant neighbourhood featuring studio, oneand two-bedroom homes. Now, a space will be set aside in the building for one artist to have an art studio where he or she can work. “We wanted to promote contemporary art within the community,” says Ameet Johal, marketing director for Fifth Avenue Marketing.

“We consider the homes to be like a piece of art,” she says, adding, “The residents are all very design-savvy people.” The artist will be chosen by the executive director of the VCAG, Nigel Prince, and then will hold the studio space for one year. “They will put a panel together, call for submissions with some requirements, and then make a decision,” on who the artist will be, Johal says. The artist will be able to take possession of their studio in late 2013. For more information about the art initiative, visit www.collection45.com.

have your own little piece of the outdoors. Bluetree has also provided 1,800 square feet of amenity space for its homeowners, including a fitness room and lounge with a full kitchen and bathroom. “We are committed to delivering an extraordinary home-buying experience from beginning to end,” says Kasahara. “We come from ParkLane Homes and its 30-plus years of award-winning

customer satisfaction. Bluetree’s Customer Care program will build on this tradition of ensuring a long-term commitment to our customers, long after the keys are handed over.” Homes start at $199,900. For more information, visit www.bluetreehomes. ca or call 604-939-8874. The Bluetree Home Store is located at 1020 Austin Ave. beside Cyclone Taylor Sports and is open between 12 and 5 p.m. every day.

Vibrant neighbourhood in Coquitlam

Bluetree brings a French feel to Mackin Park By Kerry Vital

Bluetree Homes is bringing modern style to a heritage neighbourhood with its newest project, Bluetree Homes at Mackin Park. “There are lots of options for buyers in the Coquitlam area,” says Yosh Kasahara, general manager of sales and marketing for Bluetree Homes. “What we can offer here is the best value for the dollar in this market. You simply cannot find a comparably appointed home in a location this good, built by a developer with a stellar track record, all for this price.” Bluetree Homes at Mackin Park is located in the heart of Maillardville, a walkable, village-like community with a rich sense of history. “The building will serve as a new landmark for this community that already has so much going for it,” says Kasahara. “In addition to shopping, restaurants, parks and other amenities within walking distance, it has a vibrant past rooted in its French-Canadian heritage.” Top-rated schools, including some with French programs, are also within walking distance of the homes at Mackin Park, so the area is as great for

young families as it is for professional couples and downsizers. The inspired design at Mackin Park starts with the exterior of the building. “The French-inspired architecture of the building is a nod to its past while also artfully combining modern elements to create a building that would look just as at home in Montreal as it would in Paris,” says Kasahara. The one-and two-bedroom low-rise apartments are spacious and inviting, with floorplans ranging between 548 and 1,013 square feet. The high-end finishings include stainless-steel appliances and engineered stone countertops in the kitchens, complemented by a hand-set marble tile backsplash and chic squareline two-tone laminate cabinetry. Kasahara says the homes will feature several space-saving innovations, including built-in mirrored cabinets in the bathrooms, and spice racks and pull-out pantry drawers in the kitchens. Every home includes its own private patio or balcony, so you will always

“

The building will serve as a new landmark for this community,” says Yosh Kasahara, general manager of sales and marketing.

LOFT LIVING FROM $279,900*

MOVE IN NOW! | JUST A FEW LOFTS AVAILABLE DISCOVER THE EXCLUSIVE LOFTS AT THE VILLAGE The Lofts at The Summit House are pretty special. Ceilings as high as 22’ mean there is more than enough room to ‘swing a cat’, practice trampoline for the next summer Olympics, or master the art of aerial silks.

And naturally, a great kitchen and beautiful finishes are a given at Morgan Crossing. The best part? You’re still just a short walk away from over 60 shops & services in the dynamic Morgan Crossing Village! Village Life means something a little different to everyone. To some it’s that the coffee barista not only knows your order but your name (and your dog’s name too). To other’s it’s that you can entertain on a whim without having to rely on the contents of your fridge. Or even the fact that your car stays parked more often than not with everything you need right at your doorstep. Whatever Village Life means to you, one thing is for sure – you will live!
