Business group supportive
Casino foes up the ante Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter
Opponents of a proposed casino in South Surrey outnumbered supporters by a 20:1 ratio at a Sunday afternoon public forum at the Semiahmoo Fish and Game Club. About 80 people attended the event organized by Susan Keeping, the BC NDP candidate for the election next spring. When one questioner asked how many casino supporters were in the audience, only four raised their hands. One of them was Cliff Annable, the executive director of the South Surrey and White Rock Chamber of Commerce. Annable said the local business community is “totally supportive” of the proposed $100-million casino, hotel and convention centre complex at 10 Avenue and 168 Street. Annable said that among other benefits, the facility would give local sporting and charitable groups a place to accommodate large turnouts for fundraisers, instead of having them go outside of the area. › see page 4

Voter turnout at 15 per cent as nine vie for one council position
Lawrence tops City of White Rock byelection Staff Reporter
Third time was a charm for the winner of Saturday’s byelection. Businessman Bill Lawrence topped the polls with 620 votes to claim a seat as White Rock’s newest city councillor. Nine candidates had vied for the single position, including: Dave Chesney (490 votes), Megan Knight (482), Pat Petrala (233), Grant O’Kane (165), Graham Wood (99), Bruce McWilliam (90), Scott Kristjanson (45) and Tom Willman (28). Lawrence said he had a good feeling this was his year, following two previous attempts for a council seat.

“I felt that I was one of the frontrunners,” he said Monday. “I did put in the work this time around… and focused on making sure the message did get out. “It worked really, really well. It
was a nice, decisive win.” A total of 2,252 votes were cast. Turnout – at 15 per cent – was lower than the 16 per cent seen in the city’s last byelection, in 2009. Unofficial results were announced
42 minutes after polls closed at 8 p.m. Saturday. Official results are to be declared Wednesday. Lawrence will take the seat formerly held by longtime-councillor Mary-Wade Anderson, who died
Candidates blindsided by mayor’s endorsement A decision by White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin to publicly endorse a byelection candidate last week was met by criticism from most of those candidates and surprise from sitting councillors. The city’s top official confirmed a day before Saturday’s vote that he had endorsed one of the nine, Grant O’Kane, in an email to “40 or 50” supporters on Wednesday – the day after an all-candidates meeting.
“This is an important election,” Baldwin told Peace Arch News Friday. “The turnout is probably not going to be very good and whoever gets in is probably going to get the mandate of five per cent of the voting public. That concerns me. “I just think it’s too important to let it fly by and to have a last-minute choice at the ballot box.” › see page 2

Email surprises councillors, too › from page 1 Friday evening, reaction among other candidates to word of Baldwin’s endorsement was critical, with some appearing blindsided. Bruce McWilliam said Baldwin had said “categorically” he would not endorse any candidate, for fear it would cause dissension. Dave Chesney described the timing of the endorsement as “suspect” and said a councillor told him Baldwin had “told council to remain neutral…” Reached by email Monday, Chesney declined to say which councillor. Graham Wood took issue with Baldwin’s explanation of encouraging voter turnout. “If that was the case, a simple letter to say there is an election taking place would have been sufficient,” Wood said. Scott Kristjanson spoke highly of O’Kane Friday, but suggested Baldwin could have “chosen to be more up-front.” He was even more critical Saturday but emailed PAN Monday to withdraw those comments, describing Baldwin’s move as “an honest mistake.” Pat Petrala said she believes city officials should not make their preferences known during a civic election, and was “shocked” to learn that Baldwin was backing one person. Tom Willman said he hoped voters would decide for themselves and that the endorsement “doesn’t seem ethical.” Megan Knight said she was “disappointed and a little taken aback” by the endorsement. “The mayor should have stayed neutral, like he instructed his council to do. I guess the same rules don’t apply to him.” Of three councillors reached Monday, all expressed a degree of surprise with Baldwin’s move. While they said Baldwin gave no formal direction to stay neutral in the lead-up to the vote, there was an understanding. “I think we sort of implicitly agreed that we wouldn’t endorse anybody,” Coun. Larry Robinson said, noting that “my gut feeling told me somebody would say something.” “I’m not condemning him… he’s given me a lot of latitude to make mistakes.” Coun. Helen Fathers said neutrality during elections is “just common sense.” “Just the fact that the mayor was endorsing anybody at such a late stage in the game was a little bit surprising to me,” Fathers said. Coun. Al Campbell said he was surprised anyone “put pen to paper” regarding a can-

didate – “my feeling was we weren’t going to do that, anyone of us.” He believes the endorsement had the reverse effect of what it was intended to do. “Did the endorsement do any good? Clearly not. There’s a message in itself,” he said. O’Kane placed fifth, receiving 165 votes – 455 less than winner Bill Lawrence. Baldwin said Friday that about two dozen people had asked who he’s voting for, so he decided to put it out there. He said any of the candidates would be a good addition. Monday, he reiterated this, noting he does not remember telling council to withhold their opinions regarding the candidates. “I would not, as a rule, say one thing and do another,” he said. “If I said it to the councillors, I would not go out and do it myself.” Baldwin’s endorsement email stated: “In my opinion, Grant O’Kane would be a welcome addition to our present council. There are good candidates that have put themselves forward for this job but Grant is the one that in my opinion would work best with the present council and would support the plan that we have in place…” The email angered at least one recipient. “I think it’s wrong,” said the resident, who forwarded the email to PAN Friday, asking not to be identified. PAN sought opinions from candidates that evening and received emailed comments from all but Lawrence prior to the results. Lawrence said Monday he, too, was surprised by word of the endorsement. “I just kept going with my campaign and didn’t let it faze me,” he said. O’Kane himself – who had posted on his website early Tuesday that he was supported by both Baldwin and the White Rock Firefighters Union – responded Friday: “Obviously the mayor is a very respected and effective resident and supporter of White Rock and would not state anything if he did not believe it was in the very best interest of the city. So whatever he believes to be best, as the voted leader, should be respected and honoured without scrutiny. “It is unfortunate that others fill their time with the efforts or opinions of others and not focusing on their own actions.” Baldwin said Monday that he looks forward to working with Lawrence.

Parents claim no knowledge of permit and age restrictions after seizure
Fireworks consent surprises the police Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Sorting through a pile of fireworks seized from “seven or eight” teens in Ocean Park on Halloween night last week, Community Safety Officer Sue Caley and Const. Troy Derrick are “amazed” at what they find. “These ones here will blow your hand right off,” Derrick says, holding up a firecracker no larger than a lipstick tube. “I haven’t seen these in years.” It looks innocent enough, Derrick notes of the incendiary – but it packs the same punch as a quarter stick of dynamite. The stick – and even tinier versions of it – was among hundreds of fireworks big
and small seized over “a couple hours” on Oct. 31. Caley said the fireworks were all seized from 15- and 16-year-old boys, and she estimated the combined cache cost between $500 and $600. As surprising as the quantity found on each individual was, Caley said she was even more surprised to discover that some of the teens had them with their parents’ consent. Contacted by Caley, those parents “kind of played dumb,” she said, explaining they claimed no knowledge of the City of Surrey bylaw that basically bans fireworks without a permit and for anyone under the age of 18. Through phone calls to all of the teens’
parents, Caley said, she is confident at least some of the teens learned a lesson. “One parent did say when she picked up her son, he was crying,” she said. Fortunately, while “thousands” of fireworks were seized by police throughout the city that night, no major injuries or incidents were reported. Derrick and Cpl. Bert Paquet said inclement weather and a high tide helped stem trouble. “For us, it was a perfect storm,” Paquet said. Surrey firefighters also reported having a good night Oct. 31, crediting a lack of calls for service to the city’s bylaw. Before it was created, firefighters were inundated by calls
for service every Halloween. This year, crews didn’t attend any fireworks-related calls, according to deputy fire Chief Jon Caviglia. “I think the regulating of fireworks in Surrey has proven to be very effective,” Caviglia said Thursday. He’s aware people in Surrey just go to other municipalities to buy their fireworks. “It’s on a much smaller scale,” Caviglia said. “They still do get them from other cities, and there are parents that allow their kids to have them, but it’s not rampant like it used to be.” Fireworks seized in Surrey will be destroyed by Vancouver’s Explosives Disposal Unit. - with files from Kevin Diakiw
SkyTrain scare
Bomb on tracks Kevin Diakiw Black Press
An explosive device cleared from a Surrey SkyTrain track has Transit Police embarking on a new program to make transit safer. On Friday, at about 2 p.m., a passenger spotted an explosive device on the tracks, halfway between the Scott Road and Gateway stations. The device appeared to have three small propane tanks strapped to what looked like a fire extinguisher. Also attached to the device was a pipe bomb. Transit Police spokesperson Anne Drennan would not say whether it was also equipped with a detonator. “We’re not getting into specifics. I can tell you it was a dangerous explosive device,” she said Monday. She did say the propane tanks appeared to be empty. As to whether the SkyTrain could have set it off, Drennan said it’s likely several trains had passed over it before it was noticed. When it was reported, the RCMP Bomb Disposal Unit arrived and took the bomb off the guideway and carried it out to an open field where it was detonated. Over the weekend, there were two more suspected bombs reported on the SkyTrain route, both of which turned out to be false alarms. Drennan said SkyTrain police will now be embarking on an initiative borrowed from New York, called Train Order Maintenance. Officers get on the train, introduce themselves, ask if everything is OK and do a visual assessment and leave. “This does a couple of things all at the same time,” Drennan said. “It gives us the ability to interact and to assess, and it gives the passengers that high visible presence that reassures them we are there.” Drennan said the initiative is a direct result of the bomb scare on Friday. “Whether or not this (device) was ever in the car, reassuring that their transit system is as safe as it can possibly be is a huge part of what we have to do,” Drennan said. “Seeing us is a big part of that.”

South Surrey residents ponder plans and voice concerns about the proposed Highway 99 interchange on 16 Avenue at an open house last week.
Transportation ministry hosts open house to gather input
Residents critical of freeway plans Alex Browne Staff Reporter
There were more than a few furrowed brows as South Surrey residents got a first view of the proposed Highway 99/16 Avenue interchange at a public open house last week at Earl Marriott Secondary. Around 60 people attended the late Thursday afternoon event; the biggest concern about the project – which the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure expects to begin as soon as February 2013 – seemed to come from residents of the Cherry Brook mobile home park at 162 Street and 16 Avenue. They weren’t as worried about on- and offramps from the bridge over Highway 99 as they were by plans calling for four lanes and a median on 16 Avenue in the eastward approach to the bridge – a design feature they said would limit the principal access to their homes. “I don’t like that my gate will be blocked off, that I won’t be able to turn left off of 16 Avenue onto 162 Street,” said Cherry Brook resident Anthony Gazzola, who predicted many of his neighbours would be up in arms about the idea. “It’s not going to fly,” said resident Les Druschel, who said access to and from 16 Avenue is crucial for residents. “It’d be more dangerous than it is now, all
these years of being able to do that.” Work would include the demolition of the “We have to, at least, be able to get into our existing 16 Avenue bridge, the building of a park,” said Druschel’s wife, Sharen. “Going out, new four-lane bridge with traffic signals at each I could see there being no left turn, but we have end, and on and off ramps connecting the new to be able to get in.” bridge to Highway 99 in all four quadrants.

Casino plan catches some off guard › from page 1 “We could all use a bigger venue,” Annable said. “They’re currently not available.” Annable’s was a minority view. Most speakers were like local resident Martin Cooper, who predicted the project would ruin the character of the area. “Why are you intent on destroying our rural community of South Surrey?” he demanded. The question was directed at two representatives of the company hoping to build the casino, who both spoke at the event. Gateway Casinos and Entertainment community liaison Tanya Gabara described the proposed complex as a “world-class” facility more than once during her presentation. She said Surrey has a “sorely underserved” gaming and entertainment market. Gateway general counsel James Chen defended the project as a boost to the local economy that will bring jobs and other longterm benefits. “We create jobs and we pay taxes,” he said. “And we pay taxes to all three levels of government.”
According to Gateway and BC Lottery Corporation projections, the complex could produce $6 million in revenues annually for Surrey alone. Preliminary designs call for a landscaped complex that includes a 60,000-sq.-ft. gaming floor, an 800-seat theatre, a 27,000-sq.-ft. convention and entertainment zone, a 200-room, four-star hotel, four restaurants and three lounges. The $100-million facility would occupy 18 acres of a 25-acre parcel at 10 Avenue and 168 Street. BCLC has suggested the complex, if approved by the city, could be open as soon as late 2014. At the Sunday forum, several critics said the impact of the project on local residents has not been properly assessed. Grant Laporte said he isn’t looking forward to spending his retirement next to “24 hours of glitz and lights and traffic and noise.” Terry McNeice, of the South Surrey Ratepayers Association, said residents were kept in the dark about the plans until recently.
“There has been no transparency, no communication,” McNeice said. “We are at the 11th hour. It’s criminal.” Chen disputed this, saying the company has done everything it can to let people know. “We’re not trying to hide anything from anybody,” Chen said. “We’re trying to be as transparent as possible.” In response to a questioner who worried about increased crime, Chen said statistics from other Gateway casinos show police activity is, if anything, low. While the back and forth continued, volunteers listed the arguments on large sheets of paper taped to the wall behind the podium. By the end of the two-hour meeting, there were 2½ pages of “pro” arguments and eight pages of “con.” Keeping will hold another forum on Wednesday morning, 7:30-8:30 a.m. at the ABC Restaurant, 2160 King George Blvd. Gateway will hold its own information meeting Wednesday, 6-9 p.m. at Hazelmere Golf and Tennis Club, 18150 8 Ave.

Scott suffered multiple injuries including the loss of his spleen, one kidney, and a collapsed lung. He was awarded a lump sum payment of $41,411.96. The lawsuit maintains the soldiers should have been given continuing benefit payments to reflect the fact that they will have permanent medical problems. In an email statement also issued Tuesday, lead Miller Thomson counsel Donald Sorochan said attempts to resolve the issue outside court have been exhausted. “Therefore, to advance and protect the interests of our clients, this matter is being referred to the courts,” Sorochan said. If the lawsuit is certified by the court as a class action, Miller Thomson will invite additional Canadian Forces members to join. Jim Scott established the Equitas foundation in 2011 to raise funds for a legal challenge of the legislation. The Miller Thomson law firm has agreed to take the case on a pro bono basis, and the society has been fundraising to cover court fees and other expenses. Seed money for the lawsuit was raised last year at an event at Hazelmere Golf Course. Tickets for a second event at the same location last Friday sold out. For more, visit www.equitassociety.ca

Emergency warning system needs update
N
ews of the 7.7-magnitude earthquake near Haida Gwaii on Oct. 28 came as a shock in the Lower Mainland. Many here not only didn’t feel it, but didn’t even hear about the subsequent tsunami warning until almost an hour later, which is also shocking given it was the second-biggest earthquake in B.C. history, larger than the one that devastated Haiti in 2010. Emergency Info B.C. issued its first public warning at 8:55 p.m. that Saturday, almost an hour after the quake hit. It later explained that regional operation centres were notified within 12 minutes. Regional authorities then contacted local ones. Phone calls were made in order of priority, as information was verified. So the multi-faceted emergency management system in B.C. is a phone tree? (The system also sends out faxes) What if some wires had been knocked down by a fallen tree? May we remind those in charge that it’s not 2001 anymore. Many adults, and children, have cellphones, with email and text and face-toface messaging, not to mention Facebook and Twitter and Instagram accounts. The latter could be used to inform the public instantly. To suggest that the ground shaking is itself an earthquake warning is a feeble response given a train can do the same. The threat of a tsunami might have been minimal, this time. But look at the carnage caused by the storm Sandy, despite unprecedented warning, including a plea from U.S. President Barack Obama to be safe and not question evacuation orders. Even then, tragedy could not be avoided. What if the warnings were not heeded? What if the message wasn’t delivered in time? What if the storm hit suddenly? Time is critical in such instances. It shouldn’t take an hour to issue a tsunami warning. Minister of Justice Shirley Bond has admitted aspects of the earthquake response could have been done better. Televised alerts are already being discussed. The government should consider every tool available, including social media, to inform the public when people’s safety is at stake. They deserve fair warning, not excuses and platitudes.

Thiesen even claimed radio-frequency signals can “pull your PIN number directly out of your head.” Is there no limit to the nonsense some people will fall for? Surrey fire Chief Len Garis co-authored a study that shows residential fires have decreased with the advent of smart meters. Which brings me to the ugliest opposition to this modernization, the criminal element. Here in North America’s marijuana mecca, installers have encountered many meter bypasses, wired up to steal hydro and conceal high consumption for grow ops. In addition to being illegal, they are a fire hazard that is removed when discovered. Installers also find more sophisticated cases of hydro theft. Removing the mechanical meter reveals a hole cut in the back of the case, so the dials can be turned back to hide a grow op’s power consumption. No wonder some people want to lock them down. Of course all of this is defeated by a smart-grid system, so the growers and other crooks are angry. A BC Hydro official told me about one case where a user was told he had a bypass, and that it was being removed. His bill went from next to nothing to a reasonable level. The customer complained to the media, falsely inflating the amount of his bill and blaming an inaccurate smart meter.

Ship expertise questioned Editor: Re: Anti-oil rally strikes MLA, Oct. 25 Protest spokesperson Elizabeth Kearns seems to know how tankers operate. What are her credentials to be able to “see how narrow it is,” with her reference to the passage in Kitimat? Is she employed as a ship’s officer? Did she read the chart – not a map – for her assessment? Did she assess the passage from the bridge of one of the ships travelling our coast with a professional mariner to help her with her vision? Does she even know the measurement of the narrowest stretch (0.9 of a mile) and the depth of the water (500 metres there) to aid her in her “ludicrous” statement. If Elizabeth does come with a master mariner’s ticket, I apologize for my questions. If not, how on earth would she know what the professional mariners that work our coast can do? Before saying to the press statements that appear to have no factual detail, please do your homework, Ms. Kearns. Or simply stand on the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge for a day or two and observe what a wonderful job our mariners do in our “narrow” local waters with tankers going in and out all the time for the past 60 years!

This agreement would allow Chinese state-owned enterprises the right to claim damages against any municipal, provincial, territorial and federal government decisions that it doesn’t like and that it feels limits profits of Chinese-owned companies in Canada, possibly until 2042 but definitely until 2027. It allows China to spend billions buying our Canada’s natural resource industries. Lawsuits against Canadian governments would be held in secret tribunals outside Canadian legal channels. Right now, Belgium is facing a $3-billion lawsuit from one of China’s companies because of a similar foreign-investment agreement to FIPA. Many Canadians are not aware of this deal. Please research it and write to PM Harper at pm@pm.gc.ca Canada does not need this extremely frightening sell-out of our security, sovereignty and democracy. FIPA must not go ahead. Dianne Carlson, Surrey n I am writing this letter to express my outrage at Prime Minister Stephen Harper for his underhanded dealings in the FIPA negotiations. Within days, Harper could commit Canada to the most sweeping trade deal in a generation without a single debate or vote. If it is such a good deal why has he kept it so secret? We have just
learned of fake parts being used in Chinese manufactured military aircraft parts and Harper wants to trust them for 31 years with no escape clause? How ridiculous! Why would we let Chinese companies – government owned – challenge our governments in secret tribunals outside Canada? Right now, Belgium is facing a $3-billion suit from one of China’s companies because of a similar foreign-investor agreement. China is one of the ‘big boys’ in the world and it will gobble up Canada in a heartbeat given the chance. What makes Harper think he can compete with these power players? We are a small country that needs to defend our position rigorously, not sign it away for a few pieces of silver. This deal should be stopped now before it’s too late. Laurence Gill, Surrey
Voice of a bygone era Editor: Arnold De Roode often wrote letters to the editor to the Peace Arch News. His pen is still now because at 90 years of age, the big, strong Dutchman has left this world. In his latter years, his back had
become weak but his will was strong against the perils of alcohol. Arnold will be remembered for his love of people and as a man who thought every day was a gift. Not too many people knew that during the Second World War, he spent time in a concentration camp for helping the Jewish people. The sermon and memories told by his elder son were very comforting, but most of all the sound of men’s strong singing voices filling the church was truly heartwarming. Arnold De Roode It left a strong impression of what bygone days must have been like when most people attended a church. Arnold was a strong believer in Christianity, and I think we forget that western civilization owes its existence to the principles taught in the Bible. The Christian church is passing away, starved by lack of finances and people to keep it supporting the community. No matter how great science is, we still need the teaching of Jesus Christ reminding us of what is really important. This keeps our mental, emotional and spiritual health strong. Arnold was a very special example of this and he will be sorely missed. L. Wright, Surrey
Propaganda wastes money Editor: I find it regrettable that Conservative MP Russ Hiebert has stooped to using his periodical household mailout to deliver a negative American-style election campaign message against the NDP. It is ironic that taxpayers in our South Surrey-White RockCloverdale riding have to fund Russ’s out-of-touch fabrication of imaginary NDP tax practices. Hiebert seems unaware that most people are OK with paying taxes for education, medicare, environment and other necessities we hold in common. What we don’t like is paying taxes to fund Conservative party propaganda that slams other Canadian political parties, while giving taxpayers nothing of value for their dearly departed tax money. Regrettably, Hiebert wastes our money in this way. Kathie Hill, Surrey
Ridiculous to trust China Editor: The Canada/China investment agreement, FIPA, is the most sweeping trade deal in years and will be implemented with no debate and no votes.

Feeling global through her story Editor: Re: Semi student creates charitable website, Oct. 30. Dear Nury Lee, I know the last thing you wanted to do by appearing in the Peace Arch News was draw attention to yourself as a commendable human being; but you ARE one and I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you. As a fellow human being, you make me proud. I am filled with hope when I read about people like you who selflessly give of their time and resources to better the lives of people they may never meet. I am glad you had the experience of a reprieve from your busy life when you were on your canoeing excursion. My advice to you is to always make time to recharge. All of us need to do that – but people like you who very easily fall into the role of “giver” need to be particularly
mindful of this. You need the down time so that you can give to yourself too. Very important. You can serve no one if you don’t take care of yourself. You deserve to be acknowledged for what you do, and most importantly, you deserve to give yourself a hug and congratulate yourself. It’s not vanity or arrogance. It’s just letting yourself enjoy the love you so willingly give to others. I am glad you showed up in the Nury Lee paper today – it gave me a chance to feel a part of something global. I have “liked” Freedom Hands on Facebook and shared your website on my Facebook page. Taslim Jaffer, Surrey

Scrapped vehicles ‘a shame’ White Rock staff have been asked to review the city’s vehicle purchasing practices, after a resident raised concerns to council. The suggestion by Coun. Helen Fathers followed a delegation last week by Ron Eves, who told council he aimed to “stimulate some thought towards a dedicated purchasing agent for our city.” Referencing nearly three dozen pages of information that he compiled through Freedom of Information requests and other sources, Eves cited concerns including the scrapping – as opposed to sale – of city vehicles that paperwork indicates were in seemingly decent shape. There is no record that the vehicles in question were independently inspected prior to their disposal, he said. “It’s a bit of a shame that such wellmaintained vehicles” were sold for scrap, he said. “The market value for these vehicles today… is roughly $6,000 to $8,000, but they were disposed of for roughly $852.” Council voted unanimously to have staff report back. - Tracy Holmes

Following recent events, B.C. residents are advised to consider the consequences of an earthquake and review their insurance coverage to ensure protection against such disasters. Generally, earthquakes are not covered by basic home insurance, and BCAA suggests keeping the following things in mind when adding earthquake coverage to your policy: • Mild earthquakes can cause major damage. A slight shift in your foundation can result in repairs that may cost more than your earthquake insurance deductible. • Understand the risk. While any natural disaster is difficult to predict, small- to mediumsize earthquakes are common in B.C. and more than 1,200 are recorded annually. • Decide what you want covered. You can choose to cover your building only or include your contents as well. Coverage costs will depend on the value of your home/ possessions, location, or the earthquake deductible you choose. • Cost of additional living expenses. Earthquake insurance covers a range of additional living expenses incurred in the event it is unsafe to stay in your home. • Replacement costs can add up. Replacing one or two belongings may be manageable, but collectively replacing contents bought over a lifetime all at once can be prohibitively

expensive and even more than your deductible. • Don’t go through it alone. Your insurance company should be reachable day or night, and have the resources to help you by arranging professional assistance and support. BCAA encourages homeowners and families to develop an emergency preparedness plan, practice emergency drills, and keep an emergency kit on hand. For more information on earthquake preparedness visit publicsafety.gc.ca or visit bcaa. com/earthquake. There’s no way to predict when a natural disaster will occur, but if you understand the risk and take the right precautions you can enjoy peace-of-mind, knowing you’re as prepared as possible. Contact BCAA to learn more about earthquake insurance and to discuss the options available to you. No-one can prevent disasters, but our Insurance Specialists take the time to get to know you better so you get the coverage that’s right for you. Lori Taylor is an Insurance Specialist at BCAA.

NDP spokespeople, including MP Libby Davies, responded to Tory barbs on the issue in August by claiming that the party believed it was acting within the law when it sold unions and other groups advertising slots at party conventions going back as far as 2006. Nathan Rotman, national director of the NDP, said it had been decided it was in the best interests of the party to return the money rather than fighting the issue in court, they said. Davies also raised the spectre of what has been called the “inand-out scheme” in which the Conservatives moved funding temporarily in and out of ridings during the 2006 election. But Hiebert said the comparison is invalid. “That’s a completely separate issue, in that that was a dispute over the law, a difference of opinion in the interpretation of the (Elections) Act,” he said, adding that the issue was subsequently settled in the courts. “Here, there was no difference in opinion or uncertainty over the law. We made (this kind of) contribution to parties illegal in 2006. “Nobody’s disputing this was against the law – once it became public everybody knew it was wrong.”

South Surrey resident Bruce Stern of Democrats Abroad will discover this evening (Tuesday) if a campaign to encourage former U.S. residents living in Canada to vote has made a difference. That’s when Americans will decide whether incumbent president and Democrat Barack Obama gets a second term or the job will go to Republican challenger Mitt Romney. Stern, a 76-year-old former New Yorker who now lives in South Surrey, plans to get together with other expatriate Americans election night at the Pacific Inn lounge to see who is elected.
Custom Design
“Let’s all cheer for our president, whoever that may be,” Stern told Peace Arch News. The event starts at 5 p.m. and there is no admission fee. Under a new U.S. law passed in 2010, Americans abroad must now re-register for each election. Democrats Abroad has been conducting a crossCanada drive to reach out to the estimated one million Americans living in Canada – 92,000 of them in B.C. Stern, one of about 60 volunteers with Democrats Abroad in the Lower Mainland, set up a booth at the White Rock Farmers’ market to sign up voters. Any interested in the group can email democratsabroadwrss@gmail.com or phone 604-560-4736.

hree months after she was hit by a dump truck, White Rock resident Peggy White has returned to work full-time. She still needs physiotherapy, three 90-minute sessions a week, and she faces more tests and scans, but she no longer needs the stroller, walker, crutches and cane she was forced to rely on at different stages of her recovery. She says she is “more than lucky” to have survived the July 14 collision that broke 11 bones, including fractures to her pelvis, sacrum, two vertebrae and two ribs. The active 52-year-old spent two weeks in Royal Columbian Hospital after she was knocked off her bike by a tandem dump truck while riding along 16 Avenue near 180 Street.
She doesn’t remember being hit, her how she was doing. only coming to in a water-filled The firefighters who got her out ditch with two Good Samaritans of the ditch and the police officers who came to her rescue. investigating the hit-and-run “I feel privileged to be here,” would check in with her, just to White told Peace Arch News last make sure he was OK. week.

sidelined during an especially nice summer. Even more frustrating was being unable to work. As general manager of Guildford Town Centre in Surrey, White was working on a $280-million expansion and redevelopment that will make it the largest regional shopping centre south of the Fraser River, at 1.2 million square feet. “I love my job,” White said. She is thankful the people at the shopping centre did such a good job of handling the complicated project while she was recovering. “I have a fabulous team,” White says. “A really good team.” One unexpected effect of the near-tragedy has been improved posture, White said. Her physio has been on her case about keeping her injured back
straight and it’s become habitual. On Thanksgiving day, White invited one of her rescuers, Peninsula resident Norm Nagel, and his wife and two small children for dinner (Her other Good Samaritan, Randy Duncan, who lives in Victoria, could not attend). “That’s the lady who jumped in the ditch,” one of the children said. White is planning to buy a new bicycle to replace the one that was destroyed in the hit-and-run. The search for the truck driver continues. Police have told White they are confident it is simply a matter if time before they find the person responsible. Anyone with information that could help police locate the truck and driver is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

Blaine business set to close Dec. 1
Semiahmoo Hotel to close
The Langley Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society
Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Representatives of the Semiahmoo Resort Co. have confirmed it will close the Semiahmoo Hotel in Blaine, Wash. as of Dec. 1, after 25 years in operation. In a news release last week blaming the demise of the hotel on the collapse of its conference booking business as a result of the 2008 recession, the company says it will continue to operate the Semiahmoo Golf and Country Club and the Loomis Trail Golf Club. Closure of the close to 200room hotel – located just south of White Rock on the end of a sandspit entrance to Drayton Harbor – will result in the termination of 200 employees, but workers will continue to receive salary and benefits up to Dec. 31. Majority-owned by the Upper Skagit Indian Tribe, the hotel has been on the market for several years, and was on the verge of being sold in 2010 when financ-

ing for the buyer fell through. In August of this year it was confirmed negotiations for sale were underway with Warnick and Co., a Phoenix firm that specializes in turning around financially troubled hotels and resorts. Those negotiations were still reportedly alive as of Wednesday, although nothing has been concluded to this point. Representatives for the owners say they will continue to look for a buyer. The closure is also bad news for the City of Blaine, for which the
hotel’s annual $200,000 tax contribution almost entirely covered the tourism promotion budget, including events such as the city’s summertime youth jazz festival. The bankruptcy reorganization of part-owner David Syre, a Bellingham developer who launched the hotel and surrounding development in the late ’80s, has also complicated the resort’s financial situation, according to the release. Syre’s Trillium Corp. sold a majority interest to the tribe in 2003.

Surrey students invited to tour
Teens explore science field A handful of Surrey students were among 77 budding scientists and entrepreneurs treated to “a voyage of exploration and discovery” last month, as part of Innovation Exploration. The all-expenses paid opportunity was offered to secondary school regional science fair winners who represented B.C. and the Yukon at the Canada-wide Science Fair and at international
science fairs this year. Participants took part in interactive tours and activities at BCIT, Simon Fraser University, The Centre of Excellence for Simulation Education and Innovation at Vancouver General Hospital, and Science Centre at Science World. The hands-on activities and tours were aimed at giving the students insight “into the excitement that science and technology
careers offer,” Patti Leigh, founder and executive director of the Science Fair Foundation of B.C. said in a statement. Local students named as participants include Earl Marriott Secondary’s Soohyun Kim and Sonia Stewart; Semiahmoo Secondary’s Nick Johnston and Lloyd James; and Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary/UBC’s Shivan Goyal and Wyatt Gronnemose.

Pricing undetermined but will reflect service level: chair
Park-and-ride charges OK’d Jeff Nagel Black Press
A new policy to charge motorists at all park-and-rides under TransLink’s control has been approved by the board. The Oct. 24 decision confirms Metro’s earlier announcement that the days of free parking are over for transit commuters who use the no-charge lots. Board chair Nancy Olewiler said rates have not been determined, but the policy endorses the principle that all drivers pay a minimum $2 a day to park and exact prices will be set on a caseby-case basis. “It’s just effiNancy Olewiler cient and effecboard chair tive and fiscally responsible to have some sort of pricing for it,” she said. “The pricing will reflect the level of service and what we can do.” Olewiler suggested some free lots, such as Phibbs Exchange in North Vancouver, may get upgrades like better lighting and space delineation when pay parking fees go into effect. A major expansion has also just been approved for the overcrowded South Surrey park-and-

The new 650-space Carvolth park-and-ride in northwest Langley will also go to pay parking, although users should have free use for the first few months after the new Highway 1 Rapid Bus service over the Port Mann Bridge is launched in December. Other currently free park-andrides include Ladner; Tsawwassen; Walnut Grove in Langley; Sexsmith in Richmond; Westmount and Gleneagles on the
North Shore. Park Royal Mall will continue to offer free parking for transit users as it’s not under TransLink’s control. TransLink projects it will raise $2.2 million by charging at the free lots and raising the prices at some of the existing pay lots. Charging to park should ensure users of busy park-and-rides have a better chance of finding a stall, Olewiler said, because the fees will encourage some drivers to leave their car at home and catch a nearby feeder bus instead.

Straight – will have a show of photography Nov. 15-17 at the Visual Space Gallery (2075 Alberta St., Vancouver). Called Pool Life, it’s a series focusing on outdoor public swimming pools. Inspired by the 1968 film The Swimmer, starring Burt Lancaster, the show is an odyssey through pool culture, and a celebration of an era on the wane, in a series of typically crisp, cool images taken on film (sometimes with vintage dive cameras) in which Blissett’s eye captures both the endless variety of humanity at poolside, and the private, perfect serenity of the submerged swimmer. Opening party is Nov. 15, 7-11 p.m. at the gallery. The show continues Nov. 16, 7-11 p.m. and
Tickets are now on sale for Fraser Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society’s latest pantomime, The Phantom of the Panto (Nov. 28-Dec. 9, 7:30 p.m. performances at Surrey Arts Centre).

Featured in the spoof will be Tom Cleevely (The Phantom), Chelsea Tucker (Christine), Jackie Block (Meg Nolia), James Walker (Andre Jyne), Samatha Andrews (Firmin Full), Jeff Christiansen (as the dame, Carlotta Ferrari), Joni HaydenSummerton (as principal boy Raoul), Jake Hildebrand (Joe Bouquet DeFleur), Adrian Duncan (Punchy Ferrari), Jerret Schwartz (The Skull) and Frannie Warwick (Trappe).

1st Annual KidSport
Joy of Music event set for Nov. 8
Concert for a good cause Music fans will hear a first-class concert – and have a chance to give to a good cause – when the Kay Hogg Goodwill Group of the Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary presents the 2012 Joy of Music fundraising concert Nov. 8 at 7 p.m. at Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. This year’s program will include the dynamic big band sound and soloists of Semiahmoo Secondary’s Senior Jazz Band, the a cappella harmonies of quartet Double Deuce, and the original music of singer-songwriter-guitarist Delaney Rose. The Semiahmoo ensemble is the award-winning music program’s ‘flagship’ Grade 12 Jazz Band which, director Dagan Lowe notes, is a team made up of student musicians who have
been working together since they were in Grade 8, and has already received numerous accolades. “Most recently, last year, this ensemble was voted best Surrey Senior Jazz Band at the Envision Jazz Festival, and was selected to perform in front of 7,000 people at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival (in Moscow, Idaho) as an outstanding band in its category,” he said. Double Deuce was formed in 1998 by members who had years of experience singing with other ensembles. Originally rooted in barbershop style harmony, they were inspired by audience reaction to their sound to branch out into other styles, including the updated harmonies of groups like The Four Freshmen, and the gospel sound of the Gaither
Pinocchio
Quartet. Delaney Rose first discovered music as a singer at age six in her home province of Manitoba. The guitar became part of the picture when she found a dusty old instrument in her parents’ attic, and she wrote her first song at age 13. Now with two albums to her credit (Freedom, in 2003, and Naked, 2010) she has become an accomplished singer-songwriter whose songs reflect a strong purpose and theme of healing. All proceeds benefit medical programs and equipment. The Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary – including the Kay Hogg group, formed in 1948 – has provided over $10 million to the hospital since 1950.

Three wins move Surrey to within two points of first place
Shaw, Klimek lead Eagles to OT wins Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
A gutsy move by Surrey Eagles coach and general Matt Erhart last month – the trading of the team’s captain – continues to pay big dividends for the team. And the deal, which sent Brandon Morley to the rival Coquitlam Express for 20-yearold forward Brady Shaw, paid off again Sunday at South Surrey Arena, after the Ottawa native scored twice – including the overtime winner – and added an assist in a 3-2 win over the first-place Prince George Spruce Kings. After seeing a 2-0 lead evaporate in the final eight minutes of the game, on Prince George goals from Tyson Witala and Cameron Lawson, Shaw won the game for the home side at 3:55 of overtime when, after staying onside by about the width of a skate
blade, he received a long pass at the Kings’ blue line, skated in on a breakaway and fired a wrist shot over the shoulder of Spruce Kings netminder Kirk Thompson. Shaw has six goals and nine points in six games since arriving in South Surrey. The victory was the Eagles’ third of the week, which boosted them to within two points of first-place in the BC Hockey League’s Mainland Division with a record of 11-6-0-1. On Thursday, Surrey travelled to Langley and squeaked out a 2-1 double-overtime win. Eagles rookie Jordan Klimek, a Langley native, potted the winner in three-on-three OT. The next day, the Birds headed up the Coquihalla Highway to Merritt, where they won another one-goal contest, 3-2 over the Centennials. Against the Rivermen, Brett Mulcahy
scored the Eagles’ lone goal in regulation time, in the first period. His goal was matched by Langley’s Ben Butcher just over two minutes later, and the scored remained knotted a 1-1- until Klimek’s OT winner, which came when he fired a wrist shot over the shoulder of Langley goalie James Barr. Michael Santaguida earned the win, stopping 33 of 34 shots. Surrey’s other goaltender, Glenn Ferguson, was the star Friday in Merritt, earning firststar honors after a 39-save performance. Michael Stenerson, Drew Best and Nicolas Pierog scored for Surrey. The Eagles hit the road later this week, for two games in the Okanagan. First, they play the Salmon Arm Silverbacks Friday night, followed by the Vernon Vipers Saturday. They then return home for a Monday night
contest against the Coquitlam Express.
Eagles add size The Eagles’ newest acquisition is going to be a hard guy to miss. Prior to the team’s weekend contests, Surrey announced the signing of forward William Clark. Clark, a 19-year-old native of Dallas, Tex. is listed at six-foot-six and 223 pounds. Last season, he put up 54 points in 39 games for the Dallas Stars U18 of the Midwest Elite Hockey League. “William is a big body with a good skill set that will provide some size to our forward group,” said Erhart. “We feel he has the tools to be a key contributor to the Eagles program.” Surrey also released Kolten Grieve Friday.
Elphinstone squad edges Seaquam for top spot
Cougars claim PAN Classic title Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Elphinstone Cougars made the most of their first-ever appearance in the Peace Arch News Classic. The senior girls volleyball team from Gibsons captured the PAN Classic title Saturday at Semiahmoo Secondary with a 2-0 (25-21, 25-19) win over the Seaquam Seahawks, who are no strangers to the tournament podium, having won it all last year. “Elphinstone is a very good team. I don’t know if you’d call it an upset – they’re ranked second in AA and Seaquam is first in AAA – but Seaquam did win it last year, and were really trying to defend their title,” said tournament organizer, and Clayton Heights coach, Gord Houchen. Elphinstone edged the Seahawks thanks to some stout defensive work, which effectively shut down Seaquam’s heavy hitters. Michelle Jaksuk led the Cougars’ with some strong hitting herself, and was named the tournament MVP for her efforts.
Jaksuk’s teammate, Devon May, was named to the tournament all-star team, as were a pair of Seahawks, Leah Martin and Nicola Laniuk, Clayton Height’s Maddy Power and Burnaby North’s Lala Balooche. The Cougars were very nearly bounced early in the playoffs Saturday. In quarter-finals against York House, Elphinstone trailed 14-12, but battled back to win 16-14. “They were within one point of getting knocked out, so that put a little bit of a scare into them, for sure,” said Houchen. “But that managed to pull it out. They’re a very good team.” In semifinals, they beat Lord Tweedsmuir’s junior team, which surprised many by finishing fourth in the 24-team tournament. The young team lost to Courtenay’s G.P. Vanier Towhees in the bronzemedal game. Other south-end teams to finish in the top-10 of the 24-team tournament were the Clayton Heights Night Riders (seventh) and Elgin Park Orcas (ninth).

Morgan Creek golfer heads to Q-School this month
Hadwin just shy of PGA card
Register for Winter Session before November 16 for 2 chances to win a ‘Big Top Bundle’. Winners will receive a family pack of 4 tickets and back-stage passes to Amaluna™ from Cirque du Soleil®.
Dan Kinvig Black Press
Adam Hadwin put forth a heroic effort at the Web.com Tour Championship in a last-ditch bid to earn his PGA Tour card, only to come up painfully short. Going into the event at TPC Craig Ranch in Dallas last week, Hadwin sat 48th on the Web. com Tour money list. The top 25 would earn their PGA Tour cards for next season, which left Hadwin little margin for error – he needed to finish in a tie for second at season finale. It was a bit of a Hail Mary, to be sure, but the 24-year-old golfer from Abbotsford who plays out of Morgan Creek Golf Course where his father, Gerry, is a teaching pro, came up with a series of sterling rounds. He carded rounds of 69, 69 and 68 to put himself in the mix, then put together a brilliant six-under 65 on Sunday. As he headed to the scorer’s tent after birdying the 18th hole, Hadwin was tied for second with Morgan Hoffmann and James Hahn at 13 under par. He was projected to finish 25th on the money list, just inside the bubble, if there was no other movement at the top of the leaderboard, But Hahn was still on the course. With Hadwin looking on nervously, Hahn pounded his drive on the par-five 18th down the middle of the fairway.

Golfer Adam Hadwin heads to PGA Tour Q-School on Nov. 28 He badly sliced his approach shot, though, and it landed on the wrong side of the cart path to the right of the green. TV cameras captured a momentary smile on Hadwin’s face, but Hahn recovered in spectacular fashion, finessing his third shot to within three feet of the hole. He rolled in the short birdie putt to finish in solo second place, trimming roughly $16,000 off of Hadwin’s paycheque and knocking him out of the top 25. Jim Herman nabbed the last PGA Tour card. After his round, Hadwin was “a little in shock” to discover he was within the projected top 25. But he was well aware that Hahn stood a
reasonable chance of birdying 18, having just done so himself. “I think I just convinced myself I was going to get knocked out (of the top 25),” Hadwin said. “He (Hahn) is a great competitor and a great guy. He even apologized to me after, but I told him not to. I did the best I could. I’ll have more chances.” Hadwin collected $58,000 for third-place, and ended up 30th on the money list at $168,713. His PGA Tour dream isn’t dead, merely deferred. By virtue of his top-40 money list finish, he advances directly to the final stage of PGA Tour Q-School. That event runs Nov. 28-Dec. 3 in La Quinta, Calif.

OBITUARIES
A.E (Ed) Angus May 5th, 1926 - October 23rd, 2012 With great sadness we announce the passing of Ed Angus, our father, grandfather, husband and friend. Ed passed peacefully, surrounded by his family on October 23rd. The third oldest son of Scotty and Nancy Angus, Ed was born in Kitchener, Ont. May 5th, 1926 and raised at Big Chute, Ont. on the Severn River. Growing up in the bush he learned many vital skills from his father Scotty, which would serve him well in his life as a prospector. Ed served in the Canadian Army from 1944-46, and in June 1946, set out from Big Chute on a lifelong adventure as a prospector. Convinced of making his fortune exploring for minerals, Ed traveled by foot, car, freight train, and barge to Yellowknife on Great Slave Lake, where he began his adventure searching for minerals. For the next six decades, Ed learned and practiced his trade, covering thousands of kilometers of bush, mountains, lakes and tundra, all across Canada. He was part of many of the great Canadian exploration camps, Yellowknife, Uranium City, the Highland Valley and many more. He loved the bush and being in the outdoors, but enjoyed the camaraderie of the working men around him even more. His positive, optimistic outlook endeared him to all who he met along the way. He met and married his wife of 55 years, Dorothy in Flin Flon Manitoba in 1957. They had three sons, Trent, Scott and Craig, and in the early 60’s Ed took a permanent job with McIntyre Porcupine Mines Ltd as a western field man. He moved his family to Crescent Beach B.C where he would settle and build strong roots in the community. After 25 years with McIntyre, Ed retired and served on the boards of many public companies, including as a founding director of Nevsun Resources Ltd., while continuing to stay active with his sons as an entrepreneur /prospector. Ed’s greatest accomplishment was as a family man. A devoted, husband, father, grandfather of eight, and great grandfather, he had a huge heart overflowing with love and pride for all of his children and grandkids. He loved to watch his boys play hockey and lacrosse from tykes to college, and later his grandsons, who were very active in hockey, and other sports. All the Angus boys were happy when Ed was in the stands. His granddaughters introduced him to Softball, Figure Skating and Field Hockey, which he attended often and enjoyed immensely. His presence in the crowd will be missed. Ed and Dorothy loved to travel and in his later years they traveled extensively, seeing Australia, China, Europe and South America. In addition Ed went on Safari in South Africa, traveled up the Amazon and crossed Australia by train. He loved the sights and adventure, but he loved the people he met even more. All whom crossed his path, whether in the bush, the boardroom, at a hockey game or in his travels, admired Ed. He was an incredible man to be around and made those in his company feel good about themselves. He had plenty of stories to share and they were always entertaining. Ed would always see the good in people and focused on the positives in life. Ed was one of a kind, one of the last of a great generation of Canadian mining men, and all who he loved will greatly miss his presence. He will be forever loved, admired and respected by all of his family members. Ed is survived by his wife Dorothy, sister Kathryn & sons Scott (Lori and daughter Emiko), Craig (Lorena and son Eddie, daughter Katarina) and grandkids Andy (Ashley, daughter Peyton), Tyler, Tyson (Christina) and Amanda. The Angus family wishes to extend our deep appreciation and thanks to the many doctors, nurses and staff at Peace Arch and Royal Columbian Hospitals, for their compassionate care and dedication to Ed. A celebration of Ed’s life will take place on November 24th at 1pm. The Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240 2643 128th St., Surrey, B.C.
