Bicycle chase ill-advised, says man’s employer

Thief threatens staffer with knife Dan Ferguson Staff reporter

When a bicycle-riding thief tried to flee with two $300 jackets during a parking lot sale at the Pacific Boarder sporting goods store in South Surrey, 20-year-old staffer Chance Mains commandeered a bike from a store for-sale rack and gave chase. Mains, an Ocean Park resident, nar-

rowly escaped injury during the recent struggle with the fleeing thief, who produced a knife and began slashing at Mains after he managed to catch up with the crook and knock him off his bike. “I kind of launched off my bike and tackled him into the grass,” Mains told Peace Arch News Wednesday. “He said, ‘Take your jackets, leave me alone.’

Then he pulled out a knife.” Mains said he was initially able to knock the knife – a “hobby knife” with no more than a two-inch blade – out of the man’s hand by grabbing his wrist and “dragging” it against the concrete, but the thief then regained the knife and, waving it wildly, got away. “I really lucked out,” Mains said. Seconds later, police arrived on the

scene and quickly arrested a suspect. Reaction to Mains’ chase has been mixed. “My boss called me an idiot and told me not to chase crackheads any more,” Mains said. His family and friends, Mains added, have told him that what he did was brave but foolish and should never, ever be repeated.

One woman to be tried

Dog-theft charges expected to be dropped Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Barring unforeseen developments, the majority of women facing charges in connection with an extensive dog-theft investigation could soon be putting the ordeal behind them. Craig Sicotte, a lawyer representing three of the women, said Wednesday it’s likely that charges against all but one – Janet Olson – will be dropped in the near future, providing they complete “alternate measures” ordered by the court. “Charges will be dropped against everybody but Jan, I expect,” Sicotte said, following a brief appearance in Surrey Provincial Court. Charges against Olson – who is a founder of A Better Life Dog Rescue – were first announced last November, after she and Surrey resident Louise Reid were arrested in connection with the theft of a bulldog from a Coquitlam backyard. As the investigation progressed, new charges related to other incidents across the Lower Mainland were added and additional women – Christine Carter, Diane Young Hale, Michaela Schnittker and Natalia Borojevic – were arrested. › see page A4

Eight of nine byelection candidates take turns outlining their platforms and responding to questions at a packed all-candidates meeting Tuesday.

All-candidates meeting offers insight to voters

White Rock byelection forum attracts 200 Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The first and only opportunity for White Rock residents to hear from byelection candidates en masse made a big difference to at least one voter who turned out for the occasion. It changed her vote. “I’m very glad I came,” said Kristina Knowles. “I made up my mind.” Knowles was among more than 200 people who filed into the gymnasium of White Rock Elementary Tuesday night for the all-candi-

dates meeting, hosted by the South Surrey White Rock Chamber of Commerce and White Rock Business Improvement Association. Eight of nine candidates vying for a single seat on council (left vacant by the June 26 death of longtime councillor Mary-Wade Anderson) attended, hoping to convince the crowd to put a check by their name on the ballot this Saturday. Questions for the candidates, moderated by MC Gordon Hogg – MLA for Surrey-White Rock – ran a gamut, from how high develop-

ment south of Thrift Avenue should go to whether user-fees should be implemented for garbage collection. Attendees also asked Grant O’Kane, Bill Lawrence, Graham Wood, David Chesney, Scott Kristjanson, Megan Knight, Pat Petrala and Tom Willman – listed in the order they sat on-stage (Bruce McWilliam did not attend) – about pay parking, community service and the anticipated impact to White Rock if a proposed casino is built in neighbouring South Surrey. › see page A4

Lawsuit targets electronics giant over privacy and security rights

Surrey plaintiff has Apple Inc. in her eye Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A Surrey woman is taking a bite at Apple Inc. for allegedly violating her privacy and security rights through the operating system on her mobile phone. Amanda Ladas filed a claim in B.C. Supreme Court June 14 that includes affidavits from a network expert, a psychologist, and a criminal geographic profiler. Laura Ballance, spokesperson for Ladas, issued a media release Tuesday, saying her client feels her privacy has been breached. “Ladas is concerned that, without her permission, anyone with moderate computer knowledge can find out where she’s been,” Ballance said. “She considers the comings and

goings of herself and her family to be personal and sensitive information.” As of Peace Arch News press time Wednesday afternoon, Apple Inc. had not yet responded to the claim. None of the allegations have been proven in court. The core of the claim surrounds the iOS4 operating system installed on many iPods, iPads and iPhones. Ladas alleges in her statement of claim that Apple Inc. breached its duty of care to her by designing the operating system by using a hidden file to store locational data – including time, date and place – without her knowledge. She also alleges by doing so, it constitutes a “willful violation” of her privacy, contrary to Section 1 of the Privacy Act.

The claim also alleges Apple Inc. had access to her personal data, as did anyone else synchronizing with her computer. “The plaintiff (Ladas) did not know of, or in the alternative, did not provide her informed consent to the covert tracking of her iPod Touch and iPhone by the defendant (Apple Inc.), nor was she afforded the option to ‘opt out’ of the tracking features of iOS4,” the statement of claim states. “The plaintiff has an absolute right of privacy and security of person by the common and statute laws of British Columbia and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms...” The claim states the transfer of personal data by synchronization with a computer in unencrypted form “is a particularly offensive

and dangerous violation of the plaintiff ’s privacy and security rights” as anyone obtaining it would have unfettered access to it. The claim – set out to form a class action by anyone owning an Apple device with iOS4 – indicates “all members of the class have suffered damages.” In Ladas’ case, it claims she has suffered loss, damage and expense. “(She) has suffered sleepless nights, fear, anxiety, discomfort and emotional stress since discovering, on or about April 22, 2011, that her movements have been tracked, time-stamped and recorded and transmitted to other computers in unencrypted form, all without her knowledge” or consent, the claim states.

Pedestrian injury

An 80-year-old pedestrian was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital last Thursday afternoon with what police described as a “hand-crushing” injury, after she was run over by a vehicle in South Surrey near Southmere Crescent and Martin Drive. According to police, a 64-year-old White Rock woman was issued a $167 ticket for failing to yield.

Cadieux to switch Surrey ridings, while Dhaliwal takes on Mahil

MLA swaps Panorama for Cloverdale Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Surrey-Panorama MLA Stephanie Cadieux will switch ridings to run for Surrey-Cloverdale – where she lives – in the next provincial election in May, while former Liberal MP Sukh Dhaliwal will join the race for the BC Liberals in Cadieux’s current constituency. The announcement came Wednesday afternoon at Peace Arch News press time at a media event at Sunrise Golf and Raquet Club. Dhaliwal, who has lived in Surrey-Panorama since 1997, served as Newton-North Delta MP from 2006 to 2011. “British Columbia is at a crucial point in history, and the BC Liberals are the best option for our province’s economy,” Dhaliwal said, in a statement released with the announcement. “Offering families low taxes, a clear plan for growth and the fiscal capacity for strong systems of support are values that I firmly believe in.” Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg was acclaimed last week as BC Liberal candidate in his riding. Cadieux, who is Children and Family Develop-

ment Minister, told PAN just before the official announcement that she has been “honoured” to serve constituents in Surrey-Panorama, but that it seemed logical to seek the nomination in SurreyCloverdale when she learned current MLA Kevin Falcon was retiring. Stephanie Cadieux “For me, personally, it makes more sense to offer family minister myself to represent constituents in the riding in which I live.” Cadieux noted, however, she does not feel that where she lives made a difference to her commitment to the residents of Surrey-Panorama and that her work in the riding does not stop with the announcement. “I will continue to do that wholeheartedly until the election is called, and I’m looking forward to working hard in Surrey-Cloverdale to earn the constituents’ vote in the election in May,” she said. Cadieux said it also made sense for Dhaliwal to have sought the nomination in his home

riding, once he stepped forward for the BC Liberals. “Dhaliwal has certainly worked hard for Surrey (federally) and I believe he will work hard to earn the vote in Surrey-Panorama.” Amrik Mahil, NDP candidate for Surrey-Panorama, told PAN he looks forward to facing Dhaliwal at the hustings for what he predicted will be a “hotly-con-

tested seat.” “It’s going to be a good contest and it’s going to be hard fought,” he said, adding “it’s time for a change” in what was formerly partially an NDP riding with MLA Jagrup Brar. He said he is concerned that no Surrey Liberal MLAs have mentioned a proposal, previously announced by deputy premier Falcon, to sell land in the constituency earmarked for hospital development. “With the growth in Surrey we do need hospitals. That land is a big asset for B.C. and I’d like to see it doesn’t get sold,” he said.

The sale, possession and distribution of shark fin is officially banned in White Rock. In response to a motion presented by Mayor Wayne Baldwin, councillors voted unanimously Monday to take a stand against what Baldwin described as “an ecological disaster waiting to happen.” The motion – which includes encouraging provincial and federal governments to implement similar bans – is in response to the recent “show of unity” by Union of B.C. Municipalities delegates. They voted in September to ask the province to outlaw the possession or sale of shark fins that Chinese restaurants turn into coveted bowls of shark fin soup. “It seems like a socially responsible thing to do, and one that should be invoked everywhere,” Baldwin told Peace Arch News before the meeting. “It’s a senseless slaughter of an animal.” Proponents of an expansive ban say shark finning is inhumane, with poachers catching their prey, cutting off the fins and throwing the sharks overboard. They also say the demand for fins is threatening many shark species with extinction. Representatives of the B.C. Asian Restaurant and Café Owners Association have said such a ban would infringe on their rights. The issue was highlighted Oct. 11 during a press conference for Chinese media, during which Richmond MP Alice Wong dined on a bowl of the delicacy in a show of support for the BCARCOA. At the time, Wong said, there is “no basis” for banning a legally imported product. Baldwin – who said he tried shark fin soup “about 30 years ago” at a Chinese wedding – told PAN he had “no hesitation” in recommending council approve a ban in his city. He isn’t aware of any restaurants in White Rock that currently serve the meal.

White Rock heads to polls Saturday › from page A1 Regarding the latter, O’Kane said there is “nothing good” about the plan; that it “will eliminate the family, community feel we have in White Rock.” Lawrence said it has advantages and disadvantages; elements of “the good, the bad and the ugly.” Wood expressed concerns about the societal problems associated with gambling, and the need for White Rock to have a voice in the decision. Chesney said while he is “deadset” against a casino within White Rock’s borders, he is not con-

cerned that a South Surrey facility will impact the seaside city. Kristjanson said he is adamantly opposed to casinos. Knight said she likes the idea of a decent hotel in the area, but described casinos as “a black hole.” “They suck everything out of our community,” she said. Petrala and Willman also expressed concern, Petrala noting it would “draw out the vulnerable from our community,” and Willman advising he has no say in the matter. “It’s not my decision to make – it’s yours,” Willman said. “If you

don’t want it, get into it.” The high turnout Tuesday evening surprised organizers, who had initially not considered hosting an all-candidates meeting due to a perceived lack of interest that often surrounds byelections. Following the meeting, candidates lingered to chat with attendees, who will have three options Saturday for where to cast their vote: the White Rock Community Centre (15154 Russell Ave.), the Kent Street Activity Centre (1475 Kent St.) and Centennial Arena, 14600 North Bluff Rd. Polls open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Accused must concede involvement › from page A1 Reid, a driver with Coast Mountain Bus Company, pleaded guilty to stealing two dogs and was sentenced Sept. 7. She was handed a conditional discharge, a year’s probation and an order to pay $2,500 restitution to the owner of one of the dogs. The five remaining women were scheduled to appear in court Wednesday; only Borojevic did not attend. Prosecutor Michelle Wray told Peace Arch News in September that Borojevic and Schnittker

had been diverted to an alternate-measures program. The court heard Wednesday that they have now both completed their program, and that similar referrals have been made for both Young Hale and Carter. “It’s just a question of waiting for that completion and documentation to arrive,” Wray told the presiding judge. Schnittker and Borojevic are due back in court Nov. 7; Carter, who arrived in court with an oxygen tank and a motorized scooter, is to return Nov. 14.

Sicotte asked that Young Hale be allowed to return on Dec. 5, to give her time to complete “whatever probation orders.” He said outside court that all of the women who were referred to alternate measures would have had to admit to some degree of involvement in the offences they were accused of. Olson, a South Surrey resident, was in court regarding an allegation that she breached conditions. She faces 30-plus other charges in connection with the investigation.

Olympian among 18 ‘extraordinary individuals’ selected

Girard recognized by city Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Olympic weightlifting medalist Christine Girard knows the difference having the support of family and friends made on her journey to the 2012 Summer Games podium. She owes “a lot” of what got her there to her husband, Walter Bailey, and his parents, Girard told those who turned out for a special athlete recognition event at White Rock city hall Monday. “They actually allowed me to train in the garage of their house,” Girard said of her inlaws. “Without them, I wouldn’t be (in the Olympics) either.” Girard, 27, who won bronze in London in July, was among 18 “extraordinary individuals” celebrated by the city Monday for their past and present athletic success. Nine athletes – Girard, Lois Wood, Ken Sully, Bev Boys, Brad Vollans, Paul Williams, Paul Horne, Stacey Kohler and Maeve Glass – were able to attend the event. Mayor Wayne Baldwin described the gathering of athletes as “like having a living Sports Hall of Fame in our own council chambers.” One by one, each was invited to stand, and their accomplishments shared with the crowd.

Tracy Holmes photo

Olympic medallist Christine Girard was honoured by the city Monday. Those distinctions ranged from Olympic performances in swimming, running and diving to extensive contributions in coaching and playing for the NHL. Athletes who were noted but did not attend included: Jeff Bandura, Lynn Kanuka, Hilary Caldwell, Janice Birch, Sarah Hunter, Colton Gillies, Richard Zokol, Richard Weinberger and Adam Kleeberger. Baldwin said it is “truly amazing” how many individuals on the Peninsula are dedicated to sports. Efforts are underway to determine a fitting way of preserving those accomplishments in a more lasting form, he added, encouraging anyone who knows

of a person deserving of such recognition to submit the name to city hall. Baldwin also paid tribute to the parents, teachers, coaches and others who help and encourage the athletes’ to pursue their dreams. Girard – who Baldwin noted was the first Canadian woman to win a weighlifting medal – said that support makes a world of difference. “It means a lot for athletes,” she said. “It’s good to show other athletes that are building their way up that it is important. “Sport changes lives and it’s important to recognize that and keep pushing our kids to do better.”

editorial

Party time – not excellent

f one was a conspiracy theorist, one might suggest the BC Conservative party of 2012 is nothing more than a dummy political party created by the BC Liberal party to lure back disenchanted voters who are not quite ready to cast a ballot for the BC NDP. It is as good as any explanation for the dog-and-pony political show that continues to play out in front of our eyes, with just seven months until the provincial election. The BC Liberals implode and are seen as being done in time for the May 2013 election. The BC NDP is the only viable alternative. Along come the BC Conservatives with some notable names and growing poll numbers. The party lures a BC Liberal MLA and all seems on course for the Conservatives to replace the Liberals as the Liberals replaced the Socreds as the Socreds replaced the Conservatives/Liberals in opposition to the NDP/CCF. However, with poor showings in two byelections; with that recruited Liberal MLA not onside with the party leader and deciding to quit the party he had joined only months before; with one of the two byelection candidates jumping to the Liberals only weeks after saying nasty things about them; with a leadership convention resulting in 70 per cent of voting members supporting the leader; with dissidents nonetheless still calling for that leader’s dismissal; with the leader then demanding all traitors to leave, or else; with the leader then jumping into action by issuing a press release declaring party finances in good shape; and with dissidents announcing a press conference for late yesterday… well, such craziness can surely only be the work of some Machiavellian political machine looking to save itself, can it not? Seriously, there is no possible way such Looney Tunes hijinks could be the result of an upstart party actually inadvertently shooting itself in the foot, again and again and again and again and again and again. Is there?

A valid question, but any reasonable point would have been lost of these two. They obviously fancied themselves tough, macho guys. The kind of people that evolution eventually makes disappear. Afterward, I was amped up on adrenaline, but it didn’t last. Something like that would’ve rattled the 17-year-old me, but that was a long time ago. I’ve grown up since then. Most of us do. Between then and now, you gain a little perspective, and – if we’re lucky – the wherewithal to stand up to people who push you around. Some of us wear pink, too, and don’t give a damn what other people think. And some pick fights in men’s wear. “Y’know,” the security guard joked with me as we walked to my truck. “There’s no cameras in that part of the mall. You coulda decked him.” I laughed, and replied I’m not exactly the type – at 31 years old, two weeks from being married – to get into fights. “Of course you aren’t,” he said. “You’re a man.” Nick Greenizan is a reporter at the Peace Arch News.

Ready to pay our fare shares Editor: Re: Transit fare evasion more than doubles, Oct. 25. I do not travel much by bus but twice was told by a bus driver that the fare box was broken so he could not accept my money. He was not allowed to accept cash himself. I heard also from a Langley resident that the fare box on the C63 Langley Fernridge bus had a broken fare box for several months and no one had to pay during that time! This should be easier to fix than fare evasion. While waiting at YVR for the Canada Line, I also noticed tourists who could not speak English unable to operate the ticket machine. There were no transit personnel to help them. I wonder how many of these tourists give up in frustration and ride free. Julie Hall, White Rock

Grateful for our benefactors Editor: Re: A Launching Pad into recovery, Oct. 25. Thanks for the article on the Launching Pad. It, for the most part, was informative and accurate. There was a paragraph, however, that indicated that the Pad was in jeopardy of closing in 2007 due to the owner selling out. (Editors’ note: the information about the sale was based on a B.C. government news release issued when the province provided $250,000 in the form of a grant toward the purchase of the building, as well as another $500,000 in the form of a mortgage.) I would like to state that this is inaccurate. The only reason that the Pad exists is because of the thenowners, the Houston Family, and Ed Warnke working together. In fact, the Houston family decided to sell the property to the society at a price that was under market valuation. As well, the Houston family donated $50,000 from the proceeds back to the Launching Pad. The Houston family is still the largest single supporter of the Pad and are key to its continued viability. Ken Falconer, Launching Pad Addictions Rehabilitation Society

Partisan communication Editor: I am affronted by MP Russ Hiebert’s latest mailout. Instead of outlining recent initiatives proposed or undertaken by the government of Canada

or work that he is personally pursuing on behalf of constituents, Hiebert (South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale) engages divisive partisan attacks. This seems more like campaign literature for the Conservative party – or, as he calls it, The Harper Government – and as such should

not be funded by taxpayers. Barbara Cooper, White Rock n The Conservative government must be getting worried about the polls showing the NDP gaining on them. How else could one explain the absurd piece of partisan political

propaganda we all received in the mail, free, gratis, paid for by the taxpayers of Canada. If the best argument the Conservative government can muster against the NDP opposition is based on blatant falsehood, they must be in trouble indeed. Bill Piket, White Rock

Neighbours take issue with the size of a home being built in White Rock that the city maintains abides by the rules.

Protect the existing homeowners Editor: Re: Neighbours ‘up in arms,’ Oct. 25. Bravo to reporter Tracy Holmes for illuminating the questionable decision of the city’s planning department in allowing the motel-like mega-home construction on the corner of Kent Street and Cliff Avenue. A neighbour in an adjacent house told me the developer originally had applied to the city to build two homes on this large lot. It was only when the planning department denied that application – due to the size of the two houses – that the subsequent 14,000-squarefoot structure was then approved. How ironic for everyone in the vicinity, and especially for the home behind it who would have had at least a glimpse of sunlight and sea had two homes been built. This Kent/Cliff construction is just one example of how our city is opting for big-equals-better builds packed onto residential lots. Once, comfortable family houses on the hillside were designed to capitalize on vistas of Semiahmoo Bay, without impinging on surrounding neighbours’ views. Now, huge architectural rectangles clad in shakes and cement board jut up and out, blocking sun and ocean visibility for everyone living near and above them. Who will buy these homes, unless they, too, intend to knock them down and build their own colossal palaces? White Rock’s city planners are repeatedly approving applications to decrease the distance of new buildings from the street curb. Sometimes this is by half the amount prescribed by city zoning laws. As one clerk explained, builders know that if affected residents do not attend the city’s board of variance committee meetings and speak against zoning-change applications, the requests are pretty much granted. The city should carefully consider the impact of every individual view-lot building application, automatically denying any new residence which flouts conventional zoning while negatively impacting the families who have lived in the block and paid taxes there for years. Diane Petersen, White Rock n We neighbours are well aware nothing could be done to prevent this permit. We now know that neither council nor the mayor have any authority regarding single-family permits. They also have no oversight body to ensure buildings are in keeping with the neighbourhood. They, and therefore we, are without a voice. The committee for building oversight is only for commercial development and it cannot comment on single-family dwelling permits. In other words, the

bylaws written in 1998, in a different era, are all our town planners have as guidelines. It is our opinion that the bylaws fail to protect our community. Coun. Al Campbell’s comment that concrete courtyards and a rec room underneath a six-car parking garage constitute a beautiful property is one man’s opinion. The only bright light is planner Paul Stanton’s assurance that bylaw changes are a priority for this council and that changes may be in place by the end of the year. Lorraine & Chip Hand, White Rock

Transfer of value

We are concerned corner lots in White Rock seem to be a target of developers who find they can get around the setback requirements of the zoning bylaw by applying to the board of variance, thus significantly increasing the building area and value, but at the expense of neighbours who have lived there for years and abided by the rules. An example is the lot on the corner of Lee Street and Cliff Avenue, where an existing house has just been demolished in preparation for a new house which was allowed by the board to extend out about 10 feet farther toward the street than all the other homes on the block. This was opposed by about 90 per cent of residents of the block, but their interests were ignored by two of the three members of the board and the application passed. Some of the factors the board of variance is supposed to consider under the Local Government Act are that an application be for a minor variance where there is undue hardship, where the application does not adversely affect adjacent property and it does not defeat the intent of the zoning. We maintain this is hardly a minor variance and there is no “undue hardship,” as the purchasers should have known the limitations of the bylaw before they bought. Allowing the new house to go 10 feet further than others adversely affects the views of adjacent property and it is contrary to the intent of the zoning. Of particular concern is that the applicant was apparently told at city hall that building a larger house closer to the street was OK and that they would likely get it approved by going to the board of variance. Surely, the staff should not be promoting this approach. As longtime citizens of White Rock, we feel this is very unfair treatment, where significant value is taken from one property and arbitrarily given to another. There are many corner lots in White Rock where similar situations can occur and we feel that council should be taking steps to stop this unfair practice. Stan Endersby, White Rock

Two maternity patients sent to Surrey Memorial Hospital

More PAH patients diverted Fraser Health officials say a gap in anesthesiologist coverage at Peace Arch Hospital caused minimal disruption last weekend. The overnight shortage – from Friday at 6 p.m. to Saturday at 6:30 p.m. – was the second in two weeks at the hospital. It resulted in two maternity patients being sent to Surrey Memorial Hospital; neither of those women actually came through the hospital’s doors, FH spokesman Roy Thorpe-Dorward said. “They both went in their own vehicles with family members,” he told Peace Arch News Monday. The gap was the fourth at PAH

since the beginning of September. To date, the shortage has resulted in 12 patients being diverted either from home or from the hospital. Thorpe-Dor-

ward did not, by PAN’s deadline Monday, have statistics regarding how many – if any – emergency surgeries were diverted Friday. Word of the two latest diversions was delivered to the local ER department and other health officials in an internal memo dated Oct. 16. It cited an “unanticipated gap in the call schedule coverage.” The two orphaned shifts – described as “unavoidable” by the health authority’s interim executive director of clinical programs, maternal, infant, child and youth, David Portesi – were expected to be the last. - Tracy Holmes

Pair receive Jubilee medal

ns? Sore Back? Not Sleeping? Two more names have joined the ranks of Surrey and Semiahmoo Peninsula residents honoured by receiving the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal. Muriel Dove and Const. Troy Derrick are among the most recently announced recipients of the medal, which is being presented in the community, and across Canada, at the discretion of local MLAs, MPs, city councils and other organizations. Dove’s medal comes as recognition of her years of volunteer service, according to Earl Askwith, past-president of the White Rock-South Surrey Stroke Recovery Club, who announced her award last week.

Show to film sale

Eighteen years of fast driving will go on sale this Saturday in South Surrey when the assets of the shuttered F440 Racing Challenge go-cart track in Tsawwassen are auctioned off. The event will be recorded for an episode of the OLN television series, The Liquidator that stars Burnaby-based Direct Liquidation owner Jeff Schwarz. Items on the block include go-karts, club karts, Honda engines, racing suits, helmets, gloves and other racing accessories. In addition, woodworking machines and equipment from the local Teak Marine Wood Shop will also be auctioned. The one-kilometre, 17-turn go-cart track began operating in 1994 on leased First Nations land. It closed in September to make way for a residential development that broke ground May 24. The track lease was set to expire in 2019, but the company developing the 800home Tsawwassen Shores project bought out the remainder of the track lease for the land last August. The auction of the track assets will take place at 101-19052 26 Ave. beginning at 9 a.m.

South Surrey businessman Glenn Ross offers work to those who are developmentally disabled

New venture finds help at Semi House Alex Browne Staff Reporter

The young people assembling cellophane-wrapped packages of gourmet extra virgin and aromatic olive oils from Italy were cheerful and engaged. With only a few prompts from support workers, they followed an assembly-line process to put together the colourful bottles, straw linings, wood trays and cellophane ready for packing in cardboard boxes at Semiahmoo House Society’s Newton workshop facility. Frequent smiles confirmed that for the workers – all of whom have grown up with developmental disabilities – this is not just about a paycheque. For the eight there on a recent morning, it was also about fun and social interaction – they’d gladly given up the opportunity of a field trip for this short work shift. For South Surrey entrepreneur Glenn Ross, for whose new venture, Food Folk – from Farm To Fork, the packages were being assembled, it was a chance to give back by providing meaningful work to young people involved in the society’s employment-training program. Their needs he understands all too well – his own son, Jason, 25, who was born with Down syndrome, is one of those who benefits from the society’s wide range of programs in pursuing a full and active life.

Alex Browne photos

Members of Semiahmoo House Society assemble olive oil gift baskets during a shift at Food Folk. “It’s almost impossible for them to find work,” Ross said. “What happens all too often is that companies will take on young people who are challenged for a work-experience placement, but when it comes to an end, they’re always let go.” Ross is endeavouring to see that this is not the case with his project, part of a quickly evolving business importing high-end European food products direct from producers to consumers, and cutting out

the usual middlemen in the supply chain, whose costs usually combine to push prices way up in the Canadian and U.S. markets. Not only are the young workers benefiting by being paid for their shifts, the society will also receive a 25 per cent share of revenue on all products it assembles and markets, Ross said. Those being put together as he spoke were destined for a Down Syndrome Research Foundation

dinner, while products are also being marketed online and through displays in Chapters bookstores. The aim is a win all the way around for the society, the workers, the company and consumers, Ross said, adding that he expects value and the quality of the product, to help make it a success for everybody. “The market value for one of these packages would be between $110 and $120,” he noted. “We’re selling them for $50 – or a single bottle of

oil for $7.50, while the market value would be between $15 and $20.” Plans are for an independent venture, The Witches’ Promise – run by Ross’s wife (and Jason’s mom) Charlene – to also receive a percentage of revenue, ultimately building a fund that can be allocated to needy causes in the community. “Seeing this all come to fruition is hugely inspiring,” Ross said. “This is just the first phase. As orders come in through the website, they’re going to be the picking and packing operation. We’ll send orders to them electronically for picking and packing and they’ll be paid accordingly.” To learn more about Semiahmoo House Society, visit www.semihouse-society.com.

The First Capital Barbershop Chorus will be performing at the 2012 Remembrance and Variety Show on Nov. 10 at St. Mark’s Anglican Church, along with other local talent.

Remembrance and Variety Show in honour of those who fought in the Second World War

Chorus to put on a performance to remember Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

xpect entertainment with a strongly nostalgic theme. The latest South Surrey show by the members of The First Capital Barbershop Chorus (Langley Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society) is all about music and memories according to co-producer and longtime chorus member John West. The 2012 Remembrance and Variety Show will evoke the Second World War and the sacrifice of those who served – while also spotlighting the talents of local singers in a second-half variety show format. The show – which comes to St. Mark’s Anglican Church (12953 20 Ave.) at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 10 – once again draws many of its singers from the Semiahmoo Peninsula as well as the Langley area. As West, and his daughter Barbara Bourbonnais – a member of participating quartet Mixed Company – and veteran South

Surrey chorus colleague Denny O’Donovan point out, this is the first time in three years the chorus has returned to its popular annual Remembrance show. A number of factors contributed to the hiatus, including the rising costs of venues, they said, plus the inevitably thinning ranks of the earlier audience, those who served and their families. The change in format also recognizes the fact that traditional remembrance programs, while popular, can run the risk of being repetitive and artistically limiting for the singers. “You can end up doing the same show year after year, and the guys singing can get tired,” O’Donovan said. The new format gives the wellregarded, rich-sounding harmony chorus – and guest groups The K Sisters, recent district senior champion barbershop quartet Syncromesh and Mixed Company – an opportunity to feature a much broader, if equally nostalgic, repertoire, they said.

“It throws it wide open, because we can do numbers like It’s A Good Day; some ’50s and ’60s stuff like My Special Angel and Love Me by Elvis Presley,” said West. Not that remembrance will be neglected in the show, which in addition to songs that evoke the war years, such as A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square and Lili Marlene, will include spoken passages. “The theme is ‘What do you remember?’” said Bourbonnais. “The guys in the show will be getting up and giving snippets of what they remember.” While current members are too young to have served in the Second World War, many are old enough to have vivid memories of the war years – like West himself, who grew up in Brandon, Man. “While I was a very young child during the war, I remember the war effort needed aluminum,” he recalled. “My mother gave me a couple of aluminum cooking pots that I took down to this big open lot in Brandon, and threw on the pile.

“My father used to give me 50 cents allowance. I’d spend one quarter for a war stamp (contribution to the war effort) and I’d use the other quarter to go to the movies.” He also remembers VE-Day clearly, he said. “I was a paper carrier, and on VE-Day I was at the movies, at the Strand Theatre in Brandon, when the news came through. They actually stopped the movie and made an announcement: any paper boys who were in the theatre needed to get out because there would soon be special extras that needed to be distributed.” The variety format of the second half gives additional scope for Mixed Company, which plans to hark back to the days of vaudeville for some of its set, and for Langley chorus member John Spence, a veritable troubadour who sings self-accompanied on the guitar. “John has this version of Bill Bailey Won’t You Please Come Home – it’s a wonderful version,” said O’Donovan.

“He has a very funny second verse – Bill Bailey don’t you, please, come home,” said Bourbonnais. Adding extra pizzazz to this year’s program is the K Sisters, a professional quartet including versatile singers Caitlin Beaupre (soprano), Jennifer McLaren (mezzo), Karen Lee-Morlang (piano and vocals) and, for this show, Katy Hedalen (soprano). “They’re very good – they sing along the lines of the Andrews Sisters,” said West. “For the remembrance part of the program they’ll sing songs like Apple Blossom Time, the Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy and Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen, while in the second half they’ll probably have a costume change and a completely different set of Gershwin standards and other songs like that.” Tickets ($20, $15 seniors and students) are available from Keith Ridge Men’s Wear, Semiahmoo Centre; The Pelican Rouge Café, Central Plaza; Ocean Park Pizza and Village Pub and Hallmark Cards in Willowbrook Shopping Centre.

Breath of Fresh Art for Ocean Park Alex Browne Arts Reporter

A new group of artists will make its debut in a group show in Ocean Park this weekend. The inaugural show – A Breath of Fresh Art – will be presented Saturday and Sunday (Nov. 3-4), 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, at Ocean Park Community Hall, 1577 128 St. The oils, acrylics, watercolours and mixed media/collage represents the work of some 12 established Lower Mainland artists, most of them based on the Peninsula. Many, in addition to being well-known in the arts community, are members of recognized arts organizations such as the Federation of Canadian Artists, while some have had their work published and have award-winning track records in juried shows. “It’s kind of an experiment,” said Gary McDonald, who co-organized the show with fellow artists Nicole Carrie and Mac Grieve. In addition to the organizers, names like

Vancouver’s York House Tigers, who compete at the AA level, are also in the tourney for the first time. Last year’s tournament was won by Seaquam, who defeated the 2010 PAN Classic champion Surrey Christian Falcons in the championship game. Earl Marriott’s senior team finished third, knocking off Clayton Heights in the bronze-medal game. With so many talented squads on the docket, Houchen was excited for two strong days of competition, especially Saturday, which he expects will be full of close matches. “On the second day, once the playoffs start,

it’s going to be very, very competitive,” the longtime coach said. “When you get down to 16 teams, that’s when it gets pretty intense.” The format is such that there’s very little room for error, too. A slow start could potentially knock a top team down early, thus leaving them on the outside looking in when the title games hit the court. “Once you get going, you better be ready, or you’ll be watching from the sidelines in a hurry,” Houchen said. The first games of the tournament begin Friday at 1:30 and 2 p.m. at all three schools. Saturday’s competition begins at 9 a.m., also at all three schools, and wraps up with the gold-medal game at 4:30 p.m. at Semiahmoo Secondary.

It’s time to truly experience living in White Rock with Promenade. Centrally-located in the heart of the seaside community on Marine Drive, the latest development from prominent Vancouver developer Intergulf is more than just a home. A mix of contemporary furnishings, spacious suites and breath-taking views of Semiahmoo Bay, Promenade allows residents to experience all of the city. Consisting of 18 one, two- and three-bedroom residences, the boutique development is just a short walk away from dozens of restaurants offering up world-class fare, as well as cafés and posh boutiques. Endless outdoor adventures await with the 8-km of sandy beach and 2.5-km of shoreline trails, not to forget the world-class golf courses just minutes away. Once inside, it’s easy to see why Intergulf has built a reputation of high standards. The shoreline residences are well-laid out and designed to feel just like a home with spacious living

areas, perfect for entertaining guests. And with rich, high-gloss cabinetry, sleek stainless steel KitchenAid appliances and Quartz counters, the kitchens are a cook’s dream. Best of all, each suite includes a large deck, perfect for showcasing the stunning views of Semiahmoo Bay. Intergulf is dedicated to the highest standards of development, design and construction with a focus on superior materials and quality craftsmanship – a fact that is evident in the luxurious and stylish Promenade, which has six different plans to choose from. This weekend, Promenade will be opening its doors to the public with a grand-opening event. Join the Promenade team between 1-4 p.m. at 15747 Marine Dr. to get a sneak peek at the signature shoreline residences, which will be move-in ready in Fall 2012.

The Bayside Sharks (in blue) defeated Meralomas in women’s Tier 1 action.

Sharks stay perfect Not even a torrential downpour could douse the red-hot Bayside Sharks women’s team Saturday in South Surrey, as the first-place club defeated visiting Meralomas 37-5 to run their undefeated record to 5-0. The Sharks, who’ve outscored opponents by 177 points through five contests, are the only undefeated team in the Lower Mainland Tier 1 Women’s league, and sit four points up on second-place Burnaby Lake. Bayside’s men’s rugby sides were not

as lucky against Meralomas Saturday, as both the Shark’s premier and firstdivision squads lost on home turf. In first-division action, Bayside lost 22-12, and the premiers followed with a 27-5 defeat. With the loss, Bayside’s top men’s team fell to 2-4 on the season, and sit fifth in CDI Premier League standings. The first-division Sharks are also 2-4, and in fifth place in the Ceili’s Cup League. - Nick Greenizan

Hawks perched in Top 5 Rick Kupchuk Black Press

The Valley West Hawks are proving to be a top five team in the BC Hockey Major Midget League. The Hawks took three of four points from games played last weekend, and improved to 6-4-2 (won-lost-tied). Valley West’s 14 points is five clear of the sixth-place North Island Silvertips, and just two back of the fourth-place Vancouver Chiefs. Valley West defeated the Vancouver Canadians 7-3 Saturday evening in Richmond, then the two sides played to a 3-3 tie Sunday at the Langley Events Centre. Seven different players tallied in Saturday’s win, a game in which the Hawks never trailed but didn’t put out of reach until late in the third period. Jakob Stukel of Cloverdale gave Valley West a 1-0 lead after 20

minutes. Eric Callegari, Cole Bevan and Matthew Cox tallied in the second, each goal giving

the Hawks a two-goal advantage, and each followed by a Canadians score. Royce Rossignol made it 5-3 for Valley West midway through the third period, and after the Canadians again cut the difference to one goal, Mitch Newsome and Jake Fletcher of the Hawks completed the scoring. A slow start Sunday cost Valley West, as they trailed 2-0 after one period. Spencer Unger got one back for the Hawks early in the second, and three minutes into the third Wilcox tied the contest. The Canadians took the lead again with 14 minutes to play, then Darien Craighead notched a tying goal just 20 seconds later. The Hawks will play another home-and-home series next weekend, visiting the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds Saturday in Chilliwack then playing a rematch Sunday afternoon at the Langley Events Centre.

Rams edge Raiders for title Gary Ahuja Black Press

In a battle of the top offence versus the top defence, it was the latter which prevailed. The Langley Rams’ defence forced seven Vancouver Island Raiders turnovers — four interceptions and three fumbles — in handing the Raiders a 20-13 loss in the Cullen Cup Saturday at Nanaimo’s Caledonia Park. The victory ended the Raiders’ six-year reign as the B.C. Football Conference champions, giving the title instead to the Rams, who played out of South Surrey from 2006-10 and in North Surrey for decades before that. “I believed 100 per cent,” said Rams’ Evan Foster, the defensive player of the game. “We had a good week of practice, a good plan. We went out there and executed … it just feels unreal.” The game, played in rainy conditions, got off to a fast start. The Raiders scored on their opening drive, a one-yard TD run from Ashton Galloway, but the Rams answered two minutes later as Malcolm Williams caught a five-yard TD pass from Greg Bowcott. Mark Mueller put the home side ahead 10-7 but Langley answered

back with a 13-yard score on a pass from Bowcott to Nick Downey. Nick Naylor added field goals of 19 and 24 yards, respectively, in the second and third quarters, while Mueller answered back with a 16-yarder in the fourth. The Raiders entered the game averaging a league-best 45 points per game, largely behind the arm of quarterback Jordan Yantz, a three-time BCFC most outstanding offensive player. But Yantz was limited to 213 yards passing and no touchdowns. Bowcott, who threw for 247

yards, was named offensive player of the game. Kyle Albertini led the ground attack with 59 yards on 17 carries. Downey was the leading receiver with five catches for 85 yards. “We gave them a couple of different cover schemes, a couple of different blitzes but kudos to our players, they made plays when we needed them to make plays,” said Rams coach Jeff Alamolhoda. A week prior to the title game, the Rams defeated the Westshore (Victoria) Rebels in semifinals. That game was a testy affair, with plenty of pushing, shoving and profanity throughout. At the game’s conclusion, Alamolhoda chose to have his team forego the handshake, fearing an incident would result. It did anyway. “There was no way we were going to shake hands,” Alamolhoda said. “As soon as they saw we sent our guys off the field, they charged us.” The end result was more yelling and shoving, but nothing more. Langley RCMP were called to the scene, but the situation had been diffused by the time they arrived. The Rams will host the Saskatoon Hilltops in the Canadian Bowl Saturday, Nov. 10, 1 p.m. at McLeod Park.

uestion: My mother was a single mother, and from my earliest memories, she was visited by a man who, from appearances, was very wealthy. They seemed to have a very affectionate relationship and for years he would often stay overnight. When I became old enough to be interested in these things, I learned that he was married. He always treated me with kindness. My mother and he drifted apart, then he stopped coming. My mother died at a relatively young age but before she passed away, she confided that this man was my father. I have now learned that he died recently. I am part way through my academic career and financially I am finding it very tough, so I am wondering whether I have any claim against his estate and how I would go about proving that he was my father. nswer: Immediately see a trial lawyer experienced in estate matters. You have just six months after probate of this man’s will to start a lawsuit against his estate. Your lawyer can get a court order to have the man’s body exhumed so that a DNA sample can be obtained to verify that he is your father. If he is, you have a claim to have provision made for you out of his estate. If he is, not, you have no claim.

IN MEMORIAM GIFTS

HOBBIS, E. Coleen Coleen passed away in Surrey on Oct 23rd, 2012 at the age of 89. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Predeceased by her first husband and father of her children, John F. (Jack) Thompson. She is survived by her family, son Jack, Grandsons Sam, Mike (Aimee) James (Robyn) Thompson, Daughter Sheila Lloyd (Jon) Grandson Tim (Phung) Granddaughter Natasha Swintak (Sherman) and Daughter Barbara Payne, Grandsons Scott (Brandy) and Christopher. She is also survived by six Great Grandchildren, Sofia, Dylan, Madelynn, and Brenna Thompson, Zackery Lloyd and Zoe Payne. Predeceased also by her second husband, Leonard Hobbis. A memorial service will be held in her honour on Saturday, Nov 3rd at 200pm at Fraser Heights Funeral Home 14835 Fraser Hwy, Surrey. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Alzheimer Society of BC 300- 828 West Ave., Vancouver, B.C. V5Z 1E2 or telephone 604-681-6530 or go online to www.alzheimer.ca.

Helen’s remarkable spirit will be lovingly missed by her daughter Diane Young (Michael Dean) and 3 sons Barry Henderson (Issy Snelgrove), Don (Marie) Henderson and Terry (Julie) Henderson, and their extended families. Helen Brown was born in Calgary where she later worked as school secretary until marrying Harry Henderson in 1936. After 60 years of marriage, Harry predeceased Helen in 1996 in White Rock, B.C. Helen & Harry raised their family and built lifelong friendships in Edmonton, Regina and Rosetown, but primarily Saskatoon where Helen again served as school secretary at Brevoort Park Public School until their retirement in 1974 to Mill Bay on Vancouver Island, and later to White Rock. The family wishes to thank the caring staff of Nanaimo Seniors Village where Helen lived out the last 5 years of her life, and where her sunny disposition and tenacious spirit will long be missed. At Helen’s request, a funeral service will not be held - cremation is being provided by First Memorial Funeral Services, 1720 Bowen Road, Nanaimo, BC, V9S 1G9. The family will gather at some future date to celebrate and pay tribute to “Mom” for her life of 103 years - a life well lived. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to a charity of your choice.

First United Church at corner of Buena Vista and Centre Streets, White Rock Free Parking & Admission Proceeds are for the Peace Arch Hospital.

LAMB, Marjory Isabel Jan. 8, 1917 - Oct. 21, 2012 It is with sadness that we announced the passing of Isabel in the evening of October 21st at Peace Portal Lodge in South Surrey, B.C. Predeceased by her husband Charles and her son Terry, Isabel is survived by her son Russ (Heather), daughter Noreen, grandchildren Shawna (Greg), Shane (Jen), Carla and Charles & great-grandchildren Dario, Kadence and Hudson. Isabel was born in the Cornwallis Municipality of Western Manitoba and was raised on a farm east of Brandon Hills. She attended Normal School in Brandon where she obtained her teacher’s certificate. On graduation, Isabel taught at Maine, MB then Bradwardine, MB where she met her husband Charles. Isabel and Charles farmed in the Tarbolton area of western Manitoba where they raised their three children. After the children left the farm to establish their own careers, Isabel and Charles sold their livestock but continued farming while spending each winter in Mesa, Arizona plus taking several summer trips to Europe. After retiring from farming, Isabel and Charles moved to Kenton, MB and finally to an apartment in the White Rock area of B.C. After Charles passed away in 2002, Isabel moved to Sunnyside Manor and then, in September 2011, to Peace Portal Lodge in South Surrey. The family would like to extend sincere thanks to the wonderful staff at Sunnyside and to the exemplary staff at Peace Portal who made her final years so comfortable! It is expected that a memorial gathering will be held at Tarbolton Church on June 30th, 2013.

OBITUARIES

Jane Marie Carnahan-Schultz It is with profound sadness to acknowledge the passing of Jane Marie Carnahan-Schultz- ‘Miss Jane’- taken from us too soon at 58 years of age. Jane lived in and contributed to the community of Surrey since 1986. She died October 29, 2012 at Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock after losing her courageous fight for life to metastatic breast cancer Jane was born March 20th, 1954 in Owen Sound, Ontario to Archie and Amy Carnahan. The only girl in a family of three brothers - Tom, Wayne and Brad- the Carnahan family raised and raced horses on their rural farm providing a wonderful environment for a young girl to grow up in. Jane’s mother died of ALS when Jane was 18 years old, propelling her into the role of mom. Caring for her mother during her illness likely sparked Jane’s life-long career in nursing: Staff nurse - Toronto Western- Orthopedics - 1974 - 1975 Staff Nurse - St Paul’s Hospital - ICU-CCU - 1975 - 1980 Critical Care staff nurse - Owen Sound General and Marine Hospital - CCU-ICU-1980 - 1982 Critical Care staff nurse - Penticton General Hospital- ICU-CCU 1982 Critical Care staff nurse - St. Paul’s Hospital - ICU-CCU - 1982 - 2002 SANE (sexual assault nurse examiner) Surrey Memorial Hospital1993 - 1998 Public Health nurse- Newton Health Unit - 1993 - 2002 Sexual Health staff nurse- Youth Clinic- Surrey Memorial Hospital - 1990 - 2011 Public Health nurse- Hepatitis C Treatment program- Fraser Health Region - 2002 - 2010 Public Health nurse- Street Outreach Program- Fraser Health Region - 1996 - 2011 HIV-HCV Clinic nurse- Positive Health Services- Surrey Memorial Hospital- 2010 - 2011 HIV-HCV Nurse Practitioner- Jimmy Pattison Outpatient Care & Surgery Center 2011 - 2012 Jane earned a Diploma in Nursing, a Diploma in Adult Education, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Master of Nursing- Adult Health Nurse Practitioner. Jane cites her biggest achievements as her two sons, Dylan (Vancouver fire-fighter) and Erik (computer science student SFU). She is survived by her devoted husband Randall Schultz with whom she formed a life-long alliance and loving partnership in 1985. Jane loved music and dance and was the washboard player in Mojo Zydeco, a dance band she formed with her husband in 2001. Those that knew Jane would remember her for her open smile and her absolute self-less empathy and advocacy for everyone she touched. There will be a service for Jane November 11 at 2:00PM at the Crescent United Church 2756 - 127th Street Surrey. A celebration of her life will follow at Camp Alexandra, 2916 McBride Ave, Surrey. Jane asked that no flowers be given, but that donations be made to The Jack Velker Legacy Project. Cheques may be mailed to 13076 Crescent Road, Surrey BC V4P 1J8.

Dentures are prosthesis that should only be considered for temporary use. The device is associated with many negative consequences that eventually lead to a dramatic decline to the well being of the wearer.

Dentures only considered for temporary use

Extensive bone loss experienced by denture wearers account for most of the issues. With increasing bone loss, often as soon as a year into complete tooth loss, the denture has to be made taller and more bulky in order to provide the required esthetics. This results in a movement of 10 mm or more in every direction. The net effect is a very unstable denture where food can slip under the surface and hurt the underlying gums. The movement causes further bone loss and the vicious cycle continues. In the upper jaw , the denture is made to cover the roof of the mouth. This is a way of achieving some degree of suction to retain the prosthesis but the wearer pays the price of having 70 % of his / her taste buds covered and the gum tissue is strangled all day long with very little oxygen exchange through its surface.

is often present but may go un-noticed. The result? Decreased confidence in function, speech and comfort. Poor nutrition due to inability to chew efficiently, Associated hypertension due to decreased sensitivity of taste buds leading to an increased intake of salt and spices. The fortunate thing is that we now have very simple solutions to correct all that. It is still a significant financial investment but far more affordable than perceived. The outcome is probably the most predictable and best value for the denture wearer.

Surrey accounts for two-thirds of region’s Punjabi speakers

English-only homes at 58 per cent Jeff Nagel Black Press

Almost a third of Metro Vancouverites speak a language other than English most often at home, according to newly released census data. The results from the 2011 count highlight the region’s growing cultural and linguistic diversity as a result of steady immigration from Asia. The single most prevalent immigrant language in the region is Punjabi – accounting for nearly 147,000 speakers or 6.4 per cent of Metro Vancouver’s population of just under 2.3 million. But Chinese languages make up much more if clumped together.

The census counted 133,000 Cantonese speakers (5.8 per cent), 92,000 Mandarin speakers (four per cent) and another 115,000 non-specifed Chinese speakers (five per cent) in Metro. Philipine-based Tagalog is Canada’s fastest-growing language and is now spoken by three per cent of Metro Vancouver’s population, while the next top languages here are Korean (two per cent), Farsi, Spanish, German and Hindi (1.1 per cent.) Just 58 per cent of Metro Vancouver residents speak only English at home, down from 65.2 per cent in 2001. Increasingly, Metro residents are speaking both English and their mother tongue at home – that mixed use was reported by

24 per cent, up from 17.8 per cent a decade earlier. Slightly more residents reported being unable to converse in the dominant official language. Nearly 130,000 residents, or 5.7 per cent of the Metro population, indicated they could not speak English, up from five per cent in 2006. More than seven per cent said they were officially bilingual, speaking both English and French, while just 0.1 per cent said French was their only official language. Surrey is home to 94,000 South Asians who list Punjabi as their mother tongue – they make up 20 per cent of the city’s population and two-thirds of the Punjabi

In Abbotsford-Mission, 69 per cent list English as their mother tongue, while 79 per cent of people polled generally speak English only at home.

Union fighting flu edict Jeff Nagel Black Press

Health-care workers say a government order that they get the flu shot or else wear a mask this flu season amounts to a violation of their personal privacy. The Health Sciences Association of B.C. has filed a grievance on behalf of its members, who include various lab and imaging technologists, pharmacists and therapists. Union president Reid Johnson said the edict that those who choose not to be vaccinated must wear a mask may expose them to criticism from the public. Meanwhile those who comply are to wear a sticker, badge or button to assure patients they’ve been vaccinated. As a result, he said, health professionals will be divided into two visible camps on the contentious issue of flu vaccination. “They have the right to keep that private,” Johnson said. “To be identified as having taken their flu shot or not taken it, we believe is a human rights issue.” Health workers have a right to make their own choices, he said, adding some choose not to be vaccinated due to chronic medical conditions or bad side effects in the past. “They may also have personal, philosophical or religious reasons for not getting vaccinations – that needs to be respected.” The use of masks may make it harder for some patients who don’t hear well to understand health workers, Johnson added.

Health-care workers resist order to get flu shot or wear mask

– The directive to get the influenza vaccine applies to all health authority staff, doctors, volunteers, students, contractors and vendors who work in patient contact areas of community or publicly funded facilities. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall gave the order this summer, citing a less than 50 per cent flu immunization rate among B.C. health care workers despite free shots and much encouragement. John O’Neil, dean of SFU’s health sciences faculty, called it a “dangerously low” vaccination rate that raises the risk of illness and death among vulnerable patients. “It’s irresponsible for those of us in public health not to take every possible precaution,” he said, endorsing the new policy.

O’Neil acknowledged there’s a risk health employees who refuse vaccinations and mask up will send the signal they harbour doubts, sewing more skepticism in the public about vaccine safety. “That could be an unfortunate side effect of this policy but that’s what we have to do to protect people in our health-care system,” he said. Some shaming wouldn’t be a bad thing, O’Neil added. “If there was a way of putting a label on health care workers who don’t wash their hands – we should do that, quite honestly.” O’Neil said the scientific evidence for the safety of vaccines is “solid” despite large amounts of misinformation online from interest groups, including alternative medicine sellers with a vested interest in fomenting fear.

Failed tests not flagged by Covanta after tardy delivery: memo

Cache Creek mayor wants toxic ash gone Jeff Nagel Black Press

Cache Creek Mayor John Ranta is demanding the removal of nearly 2,000 tonnes of hazardous waste ash that he says was illegally sent to the regional landfill his village hosts from Metro Vancouver’s Burnaby incinerator. Fly ash from the waste-to-energy plant’s scrubbers had higher than allowed levels of leachable cadmium in July and August but was shipped to the Cache Creek landfill because incinerator operator Covanta was slow to report the test results. “An inappropriate substance has been deposited in there,” Ranta said. “Whoever is responsible should have the material removed.” Metro officials have said they are working with the environment ministry to determine whether the deposited fly ash must be removed. Some of the tested samples contained more than double the concentration of cadmium B.C. allows for dumping in municipal landfills. Ranta said the landfill isn’t licensed to accept hazardous waste and it was “simply wrong” for it to be sent there, putting landfill workers and the local environment at risk. Cache Creek residents don’t take such matters lightly, Ranta said, noting they blockaded the Trans Canada Highway to keep mil-

Fly ash from Metro Vancouver’s waste-to-energy plant is routinely shipped to the Cache Creek Regional Landfill, but loads in July and August exceeded allowed levels of cadmium for landfill dumping. lions of dead chickens from being dumped there during the avian flu outbreak of 2004. Covanta has apologized for the reporting error, saying it was not intentional. Fraser Valley Regional District

politicians say the incident underscores why they don’t trust Metro’s drive to build a new waste-toenergy plant. “Ultimately this is Metro Vancouver’s responsibility,” FVRD vicechair Patricia Ross said. “They let

this slip through the cracks. This does not give us any confidence whatsoever.” She noted the incident might never have been discovered or made public had landfill operator Wastech not realized in late September that

the usual test results had stopped arriving and demanded them. When Covanta did hand over the results they did not flag the failed readings, according to a Wastech memo to Metro staff obtained by Black Press. “The company (Covanta) made no mention of the irregularity in the test results and made no mention of concern with the hazardous waste material sent to the Cache Creek landfill,” the Wastech memo said. It also reveals that it was Wastech’s decision, not Metro’s, to suspend all deliveries of fly ash to the landfill on Sept. 26 over safety concerns. Metro has instead been sending incinerator ash to a Hinton, Alberta landfill, after staging some of it initially at the Annacis Island sewage treatment plant. Subsequent loads of fly ash have tested within limits and Covanta is working to determine whether the exceedances were due to a testing error or the problems with the method used to stabilize the cadmium in the ash. Cadmium is a carcinogenic metal found in batteries and some plastics. The Burnaby incinerator burns 285,000 tonnes of garbage per year. Covanta is one of the expected bidders to build a new waste-fired plant, expected to handle 370,000 tonnes per year.

Clark blasts NDP policies

Liberals combative

Tom Fletcher Black Press

Premier Christy Clark wound up the BC Liberal Party convention Saturday with a combative speech that blasted the NDP for their economic and energy policies. After recounting her governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jobcreation efforts and labour agreements with teachers, doctors and other employees, Clark accused the NDP of a list of sins, including a possible moratorium on natural gas develop-

Faith

ment in northern B.C. The NDP would also â&#x20AC;&#x153;jack up personal and business taxesâ&#x20AC;? and take away the secret ballot for union certifications, Clark told more than 800 delegates at the Chateau Whistler hotel. NDP MLA Shane Simpson has acknowledged the party is considering labour law changes including union certification rules. And NDP Leader Adrian Dix has stressed that corporate tax rates would only be raised two per cent if he wins the election next May.

Dix said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d consider a small increase for those with annual incomes over $150,000. After her speech, Clark declined to comment on resolutions endorsed by delegates to ban use of mandatory union dues for political activities, and to force disclosure of union spending on salaries and lobbying. NDP MLA Maurine Karagianis said the BC Liberals want to silence unions in political debates, while allowing â&#x20AC;&#x153;corporate buddiesâ&#x20AC;? to spend as much as they want on campaigns.

Ferry routes reviewed Tom Fletcher Black Press

BC Ferries made $18.5-million profit on its busy Victoria-Tsawwassen run last year thanks to passenger and vehicle load averaging 72 per cent. At the other end of the scale, the long run from Port Hardy up the coast to Prince Rupert operated less than half full on average, requiring a staggering subsidy of $2,364.72 for every vehicle carried. And for every vehicle that rode the Victoria-Gulf Islands run, BC Ferries lost $60.79. Detailed performance figures for every route were released Monday as the B.C. government began a consultation on how to save $26 million on operations. Transportation Minister Mary Polak said the savings are needed to balance the interests of

taxpayers with ferry users, after the province increased the ferry subsidy $79.5 million over the next four years. The subsidy for this year is about $180 million. BC Ferries has been raising rates steadily for 25 years as fuel, labour and other costs increase. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a matter of just looking at routes that make money or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make money,â&#x20AC;? Polak said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;BC Ferries operates (by) trying to provide necessary service to communities, while at the same time being a reasonable cost for taxpayers.â&#x20AC;?

Downsizers not always looking for small spaces

Living outside of the box When you’re considering downsizing, the thought of living in a small apartment may turn you off of the idea. But recently developments like Waterstone in Langley have offered larger condominium homes for sale, and baby boomers are flocking to them. “They want the floorplan to feel like a single-family house,” says Scott Brown, senior vice-president for residential and commercial marketing services at Colliers International. “Baby boomers have difficulty seeing anything under 1,000 square feet as large enough.” But it’s more than larger floorplans that attract downsizers. “They want the things that you would

typically see in a house,” Brown says. Among those things are amenities such as a fitness centre and pool. Location is also a big draw. “They always say ‘go west young man’ but in this case it’s ‘go east baby boomer!’” Brown laughs, saying that many downsizers leave their home in a pricier area and move east into a more inexpensive neighbourhood. “They don’t want to lose their social circle,” Brown says, “but they are looking for something a little more affordable. ... They will often move closer to their kids, who can’t usually afford a single-family home when they’re starting out.”

Situated in the rapidly growing community of Burke Mountain, homeowners (and coach home tenants!) will have beautiful views over Coquitlam and the surrounding area. Shops, restaurants and plenty of outdoor activities are located nearby, while an elementary school is literally moments away. “This is such a family-friendly neighbourhood,” says Calahan. “The infrastructure is in place. These

homes are truly nestled in a mature neighbourhood.” Morningstar has opened preregistration for Somerton, and Calahan says that they’ve already had over 200 people inquire about the development. “This type of home is really in demand,” she says. “These are homes that everyone will love.” Homes will start in the upper$600,000s. For more information, visit www.mstarhomes.com.

‘Really the right product at the right time’

Morningstar brings coach homes to Coquitlam By Kerry Vital

Morningstar Homes is introducing a new type of single-family home to Coquitlam with its newest project, Somerton. Bringing an added coach home to their always-gorgeous floorplans, Morningstar is offering a degree of livability and affordability that is unique to the area. “Coquitlam has never done this before,” says Deborah Calahan, VicePresident of Sales and Marketing for Morningstar. “This is really the right product at the right time.” With 34 homes in the development, 21 of which will have coach homes (the others will have the option for a legal suite in the finished basement), Morningstar is building on its legacy for amazing homes. “We have the right recipe for what we do,” says Calahan. “We start from a point of what we do best, which is meeting the needs of our customers.” The homes range in size from 3,017 to over 3,100 square feet. However, Somerton’s new plans include a few extra touches that set them apart. For example, the Ellsworth plan now includes vaulted ceilings on the second floor and a semi-wall with a linear fireplace that is open on either side, so you can enjoy it from your formal dining room or your living room area. Morningstar is showcasing many of its usual amazing features here, including a seamless glass shower in the ensuite bathroom and a huge tub for relaxing after a long day. The kitchen breakfast bar is perfect for entertaining, and an extra nook that can be used as office or study space or room for children to play while you cook is a masterstroke of convenience. But it’s the coach homes that are the fantastic part of Somerton. They are located behind the homes themselves, above a double-car garage. With 512 square feet of living space, they feature a bedroom, bathroom, and open-plan layout in the living areas with a vaulted ceiling. The huge picture window in the living area lets the light pour in and makes the home feel spacious. The kitchen has rough-ins for future appliances while the bathroom is roughed-in for a stackable washer/ dryer, making the coach home a complete living space! “This space offers unlimited possibilies,” says Calahan. “It can be everything from a nanny suite to an artist studio to a man cave. Kids that

won’t leave home or older parents that need to be close – it offers the purchaser options never before available in Coquitlam. It can also be a straight mortgage helper. There is so much potential here.” In fact, Calahan sees buyers being able to get at least $800 a month for renting out the coach home. That can go a long way towards helping with a mortgage payment. “It’s really special,” says Calahan. “Giving buyers a rental opportunity that is private and separate from their home is very attractive and leaves the basement as even more space for the purchaser to enjoy.”

“

This space has unlimited possibilities,” says Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar Homes.

The homes at Morningstar’s Somerton will include coach homes for the first time, along with the company’s usual beautiful features such as spacious floorplans and gourmet-worthy kitchens.

B.C. schools must keep pace with surging industries

Demand high for tech jobs single most important position they now struggle to fill is Specialty Technician/Technologist. Even the Canadian Council of Chief Executives expressed concern that only 37 per cent of 16to 18-year-olds were interested in taking even one post-secondary course in sciences, according to a recent Angus Reid survey. Leech says the opportunities for those seeking work in the technology field are considerable given a wave of retirements of present-generation B.C. technology professionals that is already underway. White Rock/South Surrey Learning Centre’s informationtechnology instructor agrees that in the future there will be a bounty of opportunity available to those interested in the industry. “We have just barely started to scratch the surface of how we use technology. Because of the speed and the movement it’s hard to predict, but I know there is going to be so much opportunity,” Slavko Bucifal said. It would appear their investment is a smart move, as it will result in a broad range of career opportunities. Industries in all regions of B.C. support programs for local trainees to fill engineering and applied science technologist, technician and technical specialist positions.
