Noncompliant owners targeted with proposed fines of up to $1,000

Bigger dog fines eyed in regional parks Jeff Nagel Black Press

Higher fines of up to $1,000 could soon be slapped on dog owners who let their pets break the rules in Metro Vancouver’s regional parks. The regional district’s board will vote on proposed bylaw changes at the end of this month, which are to apply in Metro’s 22 regional

parks, such as Tynehead in Surrey, Campbell Valley in Langley and Pacific Spirit in Vancouver, but not municipal parks. The aim is to crack down on aggressive and dangerous dogs that pose risks to people and other pooches. Park officers will be empowered to order owners to muzzle or leash

an out-of-control or dangerous dog, or remove it or ban it altogether. Owners who refuse could be fined $1,000. An unleashed dog or one caught in a no-dog area can trigger a $500 fine, while failing to pick up your dog’s droppings can set you back $250. Officials say those are maximum penalties that would be applied in

extreme cases, and that officers are likely to stress education and warnings first. “In my personal opinion, I think they should be fined right away,” said Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin, vice-chair of Metro Vancouver’s environment and parks committee. “It’s long overdue.” Many parks already have off-leash

fenced dog zones but Metro is also defining trails in some parks where dogs will be allowed off-leash. Some leash-optional trails would be included in Capilano River, Lynn Headwaters and Iona Beach parks, while other trails would require leashes or ban dogs altogether. › see page 4

White Rock’s non-resident off-season waterfront parking decal program logged four sales in its first week, the city’s director of financial services confirmed. “We have 246 to go,” Sandra Kurylo said Thursday. A target of 250 was set by members of the Mayor’s Pay Parking Task Force earlier this year, after brainstorming ways to address ongoing concerns that pay parking was driving business and visitors away from Marine Drive. Revenue from the decals – which went on sale Nov. 1 for File photo $175 plus tax – is Decals or tickets. hoped to help offset other changes to the pay-parking system, including shifts to charge from 10 a.m. to midnight year-round (instead of 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. during the peak months), and split the year into two six-month seasons rather than charge peak rates ($3/hour) for eight months of the year. › see page 4

Lottery Corporation responds to opposition

BCLC dispels crime ‘myths’ over casinos Dan Ferguson Staff reporter

The third public meeting in less than a week on a proposed casino in South Surrey heard reassurances about the potential for increased crime from a spokesman for the government body that regulates casinos. “A lot of people have these myths about what happens in a casino,” said Jim Lightbody, B.C. Lottery Corporation’s vice-president of Casino and Community Gaming. Lightbody was being interviewed by CTV News at a Wednesday night public-information meeting organized by Gateway Casinos and Entertainment, the company that hopes to build a $100-million casino, hotel and convention centre complex at 10 Avenue and

168 Street. Lightbody was reacting to comments from some residents who predicted the casino will bring money laundering, loansharking, drug dealing and other crimes to the community. “We have cameras, as you can understand, everywhere,” Lightbody said. “We have security everywhere.” Gateway estimated 300-350 people attended the three-hour information meeting at Hazelmere Country Club. “It was a valuable opportunity to solicit public feedback and get accurate information out about the proposed project,” Gateway general counsel James Chen said in an email to Peace Arch News Thursday. “We understand that the proposed project

South Surrey blaze

Fire shuts businesses Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

An early-morning fire in South Surrey damaged the roof of Johnston Plaza Friday, and prompted the temporary closure of business tenants. Surrey firefighters responded to the 2429 152 St. complex around 4:30 a.m. Nov. 9 to find flames coming from the roof. The fire – which crews determined started in a unit formerly occupied by TD Canada Trust – was under control when police arrived a short time later. The closure affected MP Russ Hiebert’s constituency office, as well as the IHOP restaurant. An investigator told Peace Arch News it’s believed a heater may have caused the blaze, however, investigation is ongoing. Access to the complex’s parking lot was blocked until about 9:30 a.m., when yellow police tape that had surrounded the plaza was removed. The extent of damage was unknown at PAN’s holiday weekend press deadline Friday afternoon.

MP says private member’s bill inadvertently went too far

Hiebert defends reactive changes to his bill Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Conservative MP Russ Hiebert is adamant he is not stepping back from his private member’s bill requiring financial transparency from labour unions, even though promised amendments echo objections from critics. The South Surrey-White-Rock Cloverdale MP said Thursday’s announcement that he will draft amendments to Bill C-377 – which correspond with points raised by opponents, including a submission to the house finance committee from Ken Georgetti, president of the Canadian Labour Congress – does not constitute a rethink of the basic concept.

“I’m not retreating from the need for accountability and transparency whatsoever,” he said. Hiebert said he recognized his bill inadvertently “captured pension, health, dental and disability trusts and required them to disclose payments to beneficiaries. “Those kinds of transactions don’t relate to the expenditures of a union, they relate to personal benefits that individual members receive.” Hiebert said his amendments will protect the privacy of the individuals and exempt such information from disclosure. “Once it came to light, it was an obvious amendment I wanted to make,” he said, acknowledging the issue was seized by opponents.

“I’ve been speaking publicly about these amendments for several months, yet they (unions) continue to bring it up. The purpose (of my announcement) is to put the issue to rest, so that they don’t use this as a straw man, or a false reason to not support the bill.” CLC media-relations co-ordinator Dennis Gruending said the organization has no specific comment on Hiebert’s promise to introduce amendments to C-377. “But we note that the Canadian Bar Association has said the bill is so badly flawed that it should be withdrawn rather than amended,” he said. “The CBA says Bill C-377 is likely unconstitutional and would invade the personal privacy

of thousands of individual Canadians, including those businesses that supply services to unions. Canada’s federal Privacy Commissioner has said much the same thing.” Another amendment, specifically exempting solicitor-client information, corresponds with objections to the bill raised by the CLC during finance committee deliberations. Hiebert said he thought it was self-evident that solicitor-client information was excluded. “As a lawyer, I can tell you that… my presumption was that the law has long recognized that solicitorclient information is privileged. A request was made that the language be added to explicitly include it, and I have no problem with that.”

Hiebert pointed out he does not have “the entire resources that the Government of Canada has when it drafts legislation – I have limited resources. “It doesn’t surprise me at all that I wasn’t able to capture every fine detail, and I have no trouble making reasonable adjustments.” Hiebert is insistent, however, that CLC claims that his bill will impose crippling paperwork and compliance costs on unions are spurious. “Organized labour made the same arguments in the U.S. around a decade ago when similar legislation was introduced,” he said. Hiebert noted polls show 86 per cent of unionized Canadians want to see disclosure of union expenses.

Homicide in Fleetwood Police are investigating a murder in Surrey after a woman was found dead in a basement suite Thursday evening. Police were called to a home near 84 Avenue and 148A Street in the Fleetwood area at about 7 p.m. on Nov. 8 where they found the body of a woman in her 20s. Her identity had not been

released as of Peace Arch News’ early long-weekend press deadline Friday. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said they expected investigators to be at the scene for a couple of days, but indicated it does not appear the murder was gang-related. “We are in the very early stages

of this investigation and we are working to find out what happened inside the residence,” IHIT spokesman Cpl. Adam MacIntosh said Friday. Anyone with information is asked to contact IHIT at 1-877551-4448 or by email at ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca or leave a tip at solvecrime.ca

Other fines on rise in parks, too › from page 1 “We’re trying to make everybody happy,” Martin said. The region rejected demands from some wildlife watchers who wanted to ban dogs altogether from Iona Beach, a major migratory bird stopover. Martin said people who don’t want to encounter dogs running off-leash should avoid the leashoptional trails in those parks. She said owners will now be expected to ensure their dogs behave appropriately in off-leash

areas or face enforcement from parks staff. It’s hoped that will rein in chaotic anything-goes dog interactions in off-leash areas, but Martin conceded that will depend on adequate enforcement. Other bad behaviour in parks will also come with higher fines, which are five to 10 times higher than the old ones. Smoking, damaging park property, setting off fireworks and dumping garbage are among the offences that can also trigger fines of up to $1,000.

Liquor consumption, being in a park after hours or creating undue noise or disturbance can cost $500. The bylaw also gives staff the ability to restrict the emerging use of longboards, kiteboards and electric bicycles, as well as the projected rise in motorized wheelchairs, in the name of public safety. Metro officials say they get a mix of public complaints – from aggressive dogs to lack of dogdedicated park space.

Pace of decal sales ‘pretty good’ › from page 1 If all 250 decals sell, that’s $43,000 for the city, Kurylo said. Kurylo confirmed the non-resident decals – which are good until April 30, and not for use by employees of Marine Drive businesses – are equal in value to 116⅔ hours of parking at the new off-season rate of $1.50/hr, or about 29 four-hour visits. Mayor Wayne Baldwin Friday described the pace of decal sales so far as “pretty good.” If it doesn’t pick up, he expects efforts to raise awareness of their availability will ramp up. Baldwin could not say if poor response to the program would result in it being taken off the table entirely next year. A price adjustment may be considered instead, he said. A resident-parking decal is $40 plus tax (up from $30) to park yearround from January and includes the lot at Centennial Arena and city

meters around Peace Arch Hospital. Both decals are available at city hall (15322 Buena Vista Ave.), the White Rock Community

Centre (15154 Russell Ave.), Centennial Park Leisure Centre (14600 North Bluff Rd.) and the Kent Street Activity Centre (1475 Kent St.).

A two-vehicle collision in South Surrey sent one man to Royal Columbian Hospital by air ambulance Thursday evening. According to police, a red 2009 Mustang – estimated to be worth more than $110,000 – was turning out of the South Surrey Auto Mall in the 3000-block of King George Boulevard, when it was hit on the passenger side by a southbound Ford F-350 pickup truck just before 5:30 p.m. “The driver of the Mustang was ejected out of his vehicle onto the ground,” Cpl. Scotty Schumann told Peace Arch News at the scene. The man landed on the grassy boulevard on the highway’s west side. The vehicle suffered substantial damage. The driver, a South Surrey man in his 70s, was airlifted to RCH from nearby Peace Portal Alliance Church, at King George Boulevard and 152 Street, as “a precaution.” Const. Troy Derrick said the victim was conscious. “He was talking, he was coherent, he was aware what was going on,” Derrick said. He was reportedly released from hospital Friday with minor cuts and bruises. Police said the truck driver, a 36-year-old Surrey resident, complained of stiffness in his neck and back. Police closed about two blocks

Byelection endorsement a misstep

hough loath to label himself a politician, Mayor Wayne Baldwin began the recent byelection week in White Rock considered by many in his city to be a consummate statesman. By election day Nov. 3, however, a lesser title seemed firmly affixed. His indiscretion? Endorsing one of nine candidates running for a single spot on city council – effectively blindsiding the remaining eight and surprising his fellow elected officials who’d thought they had an understanding none on council would intervene. Certainly it’s not unheard of for politicians to endorse one another. And Baldwin’s decision to email 40 or 50 (by his count) friends and supporters three days before the final vote to encourage them to vote for one particular candidate hardly smacks of political hardball. However, reaction from other candidates was swift. Some called it “dirty politics,” others questioned the timing of the move and whether it was ethical. One recipient of his email described it simply as “wrong.” Baldwin himself defended the move as one intended to stave off the multitude of questions he’d been fielding around who he planned to vote for. He also stated that he had hoped the declaration would encourage people to do their civic duty and actually fill out a ballot in an otherwise sleepy campaign. If it did, it surely backfired for his candidate of choice, businessman Grant O’Kane, who finished fifth with just 165 votes, compared to victor Bill Lawrence’s 620. Certainly, Baldwin was well within his rights to make his voice known, both as an individual and as elected leader of his small town. However, a more seasoned politician might have predicted how it would turn out, regardless of whether his emails had the desired impact. After all, eight of nine candidates and their families and their other supporters – statistically, about 89 per cent of voters – would surely disagree most vehemently with his selection. Experiencing his first notable misstep since becoming mayor one year ago, it will be most interesting to see if Baldwin sees his intervention as one that does not bear repeating.

Coast waters. This was after the Pacific Salmon Forum conducted its own four-year study, led by former fisheries minister John Fraser. Similar to Cohen, Fraser concluded that there is no simple answer to this complex problem. And they agreed that salmon farms don’t explain it. Cohen’s report makes it clear that the problem is far larger than could possibly be explained by salmon farms. How about logging impact? Cohen concludes after much testimony that stream protection has improved significantly during the time of observed sockeye decline. Impact from extra runoff due to pine beetle infestation couldn’t be evaluated. Poaching on the Fraser? Cohen didn’t get around to that. His biggest concern was climate change, warming sensitive river waters and affecting ocean conditions. During the Cohen commission hearings, the 2010 Fraser sockeye run came in gangbusters, with 35 million fish. One leading theory is that ash from an Alaska volcano fertilized the ocean, producing algae that supported more salmon feed. Could it be that salmon ranching from Alaska, Japan and elsewhere is simply depleting the food supply? That, too, is inconclusive. Finally, Tides Canada, a U.S. front group that diverts attention from U.S. salmon and oil tankers, spent $25,000 to publicize Cohen evidence. But only as it relates to B.C. salmon farms, and how bad they are.

Harsher penalty warranted Editor: Re: Hit-run killer gets two-year sentence, Oct. 30. Our recreant judicial system continues to lose people’s respect almost daily. Defence lawyer Isaac Ferbey’s explanation for the light sentence was that, “The court found that (Kyle) Danyliuk had learned his lesson already.” What did he learn? That getting caught spoils the fun? His list of charges is long, affects many and includes killing someone. Does the court suggest he now knows he shouldn’t do that anymore? I doubt it. This man acted without the common sense God gives to donkeys, but the judge felt this was unimportant. Unfortunately, judges are not rated for their competency and get lifetime appointments. Their point of view seems to be that criminals are victims of society and need to be treated tenderly while victims of criminals can fend for themselves. It may be time to explore electing judges or to give the sentencing rights to a separate body. J. Edwards, Surrey

City parks go to the dogs Editor: This hug-a-pit-bull thing is the last straw. The “City of Parks” has in reality become the “City of off-leash dogs.” The parks are empty except for dog people and their hounds – most of them off-leash. Many dog owners do not seem to realize that other people should be able to take a quiet stroll through, say, Crescent Park, without being assaulted by barking, growling dogs. It’s a shame and a waste that in Surrey, dogs have more rights than citizens in the parks. Mayor Dianne Watts, please put some money into bylaw enforcement so that ‘non-dog’ people can begin to enjoy the beautiful parks we have here in Surrey. Steve Hovan, Surrey

Development didn’t drop tax Editor: Big houses impact quality of life in this city. As a taxpayer and property owner and resident here in White Rock, my concern was prompted by recent building permits and board of variance decisions. Their practical impact is that of a rezoning and redevelopment permit granted. Property values of all houses – as well as views of a large number of adjacent houses – are impacted negatively.

Unfortunately, the argument that larger houses on current lots will increase tax revenue for the city through their values is flawed, as large homes tend to decrease general property values specifically in higher-end and view areas, while putting stress on infrastructure. We have seen a dramatic general increase in development on the hillsides and overall, including apartment buildings and highrises. They were supposed to improve the city’s finances and therefore reduce our taxes. The opposite happened. Taxes went up in percentage points despite higher assessed values. The strain on the infrastructure was too great and needed upgrading and repairing. Numerous studies show that small to mid-sized municipalities do not profit from vigorous development, Surrey also being a case in point in this regard. Sustained and value-added development is required. Better building and energy codes, low water consumption per residence, rain-water recycling, etc. This will increase dollar value, as well as quality of life and tax revenue. I challenge our mayor, city councillors and all planning and engineering departments to pick up on this sustainabledevelopment concept and find an implementation plan for the immediate near future and beyond. Leadership is required in order for our city to move forward and set an example. Ivan D. Lessner, White Rock

Few benefit at our expense Editor: Re: Casino foes up the ante, Nov. 6. The Peace Arch News story about the proposed $100-million casino, hotel and convention centre on 168 Street is shocking news indeed. As a 20-year South Surrey/White Rock resident and businessman, I am dismayed that this project is being given consideration. I never thought I would be writing a NIMBY letter, but given the situation and spin certain groups are using to promote the project, I can’t help but stand up and voice concern. While the business plan probably makes this project viable, the qualitative aspect of the development clearly makes this an undesirable business and business location. The need to create jobs and economic growth is paramount, but the overriding blight a casino hotel brings to our community destroys all that we have come to enjoy about living and working in South Surrey. A convention centre and casino in a primarily bedroom/residential area will deteriorate the quality of life. This project does not enrich residents, rather it benefits a chosen few at the expense of residents. It will overwhelm infrastructure and policing resources. The jobs created are mostly marginal lowpaying service jobs. Is promoting gambling the best way to create jobs? There is nothing wrong with

development, but a project needs to fit into the fabric of the community with a transparent plan and vision. The news of this development has been slow to reach residents. Why is that? Is the civic vision for South Surrey to become another Burnaby? This casino hotel is clearly the wrong location and the wrong business for the citizens of Surrey as a whole. Our civic leaders need to do the right thing and stop this project. Drew Fernandes, Surrey

Hydro crew blameless Editor: Re: Merchants ‘left in dark’ over power cut, Nov. 8. The crew of workers who had the power out was a contractor for BC Hydro, not an actual BC Hydro crew. Hydro has cut all the weekend/ overtime work for its crews and given it to the more expensive private contractor. I believe the finger for the complaint should be pointed in the proper direction. The preparation BC Hydro crews have done in the past would have insured all customers would be properly notified of the time and place of a scheduled outage. Contractors are responsible for notification of their outages. Dale Ellis, Nanaimo Editor’s note: BC Hydro confirmed it was a contracted crew but accepted responsibility and apologized.

Letter-writer Eileen Spencer notes email, Facebook and Twitter are partly to blame for our lack of communication.

No response a sign of the times Editor: I have been very troubled for a while about the lack of manners in our present world. It seems to me that if we continue to let things go the way they are now, courtesy will soon be a thing of the past and that will send us back to the Stone Age. We can no longer expect to receive thank-you cards and letters if we send a gift. My children excuse themselves with lack of time – but how long does it really take to write a few lines on a card? The grandchildren could use the opportunity to practise their writing skills, which are becoming less expressive as we all depend so much on email, Facebook and Twitter. These modern vehicles of communication are partly to blame for the brevity and lack of grace so prevalent in our written messages.

I have also heard many complain about discourteous behaviour from employers when they are seeking to hire new employees. Applications are no longer acknowledged – a brief word would mean so much to a person sending out applications every day. Even after an interview, it is common for employers to simply ignore the interviewee with no phone call to explain why he or she has not been hired. These are just a couple of examples of the boorishness of modernity. When will we realize that polite communication is the glue of humanity? We are creating a society in which we are careless in thought and intention and demonstrate, in our bad manners, a lack of compassion for each other. I think robots could do better.

W.R. duplex approved of planning and development services confirmed last week (Oct. 29) that the bus stop would be shifted 30 feet east. While Coun. Louise Hutchinson suggested creating an access lane behind area properties to avoid the need to egress onto North Bluff Road, Paul Stanton said the move wouldn’t be feasible without expropriating the land of “a multitude” of property owners. Regarding concern that a duplex would change the neighbourhood, Mayor Wayne Baldwin disagreed. “Multi-family (development) in this area is simply out of the question, duplexes are not,” he said. Four neighbours spoke against the proposal at the public hearing; the city also received one written submission opposing the project.

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A duplex proposal that rubbed a handful of White Rock residents the wrong way has received a thumbs-up from council. The politicians voted 5-1 last week to give third and final reading to a bylaw amendment that clears the way for construction of the two-unit building at 13742 North Bluff Rd. Coun. Helen Fathers cast the sole opposing vote, citing the lack of support from residents who spoke to the project at an Oct. 1 public hearing. “I heard very clearly their displeasure with this,” Fathers said. Concerns expressed at the hearing included that a duplex would not fit into the neighbourhood; and that the location of the driveway may result in relocation of a bus stop. The city’s director

Muffler site on meeting agenda White Rock residents are once again being invited to comment on proposed plans for the White Rock Mufflers site. An information meeting set for 5-7:30 p.m. Nov. 14 is to collect input on a zoning amendment application that would, if approved, allow an increase in the number of parking spaces proposed for the residential/commercial project to 102 from 84, and reduce the number of residential units sought, to 62 from 67. In addition to the muffler site – at 14807 Marine Dr. – the project is eyed to encompass 1184 Oxford St., and 14818 to 14832 Buena Vista Ave. Wednesday’s meeting at the White Rock Community Centre (15154 Russell Ave.) is planned Oceanside as an open-house format, with a display to outline details of the proposed development. Previous plans – submitted by Georgia Laine Developments – raised height and trafficcongestion concerns with area residents. The White Rock Mufflers property changed hands on Aug. 28 for a reported $4.5 million. In announcing the sale, NAI Commercial confirmed two additional lots on Buena Vista Avenue were sold to the same, unspecified purchaser. - Tracy Holmes

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Members create anti-bullying website and YouTube video

Surrey RCMP speak out against bullying A video message

Their stories, struggles and fears may vary, but the message from 20 RCMP employees in a video aimed at youth is the same: life does get better. The nine-minute film features a mix of police officers of different ranks and other employees sharing their personal experiences in discovering they were gay and dealing with it as young people. “I was teased at times and ridiculed and called a faggot,” recalls one male officer. “A lot of the people I went to school with said I was effeminate, I was gay, and I was somehow judged for that,” says another man. “It was a huge, huge struggle for me,” adds a female constable. The participating officers share their difficult, often moving, experiences coming out to their families and the lack of role models. But they also drill home the fact that life got significantly less difficult with time. “Never give up, it does get better.” “I can absolutely tell you things get better.” “Things get way better.” The video was initiated by Const. Cheryl Letkeman, an RCMP officer with Surrey’s youth unit. For several years, she’d been following the It Gets Better Project online (http://www.itgetsbetter.org/), which aims to show lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered youth the happiness and potential of their lives if they can just get through their teen years. “I noted that a couple of police forces in the United States had put videos on the website and I just thought ‘why haven’t the RCMP? Why haven’t we done this?’” says Letkeman. She canvassed RCMP members in the Lower Mainland to see who would want to participate and ended up with the 20 participants in the final video. She believes the perspective of police officers and other members of law enforcement will prove valuable. “I think there’s stereotypes that go along with law enforcement as well as stereotypes that go along with gay, lesbian and transgendered people. Hopefully we’ve sort of broken some of those and given not just gay and lesbian people something to think about, but all youth, and all people, really “We’re not all that different from each other.” -Sheila Reynolds

Donation of $450,000 for single moms’ support group

Help coming for single moms, thanks to CEOs Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Sarah is a single mom to sixmonth-old baby, Solomon, and lives in Aldergrove. Until now, she has had to spend significant time in the car travelling into downtown Vancouver to take part in existing single-moms’ support groups. She calls them her lifeline and has received skills, experience, training and networks through the service. However, Vancouver is a long drive, and she’d like something closer to home. She’s not alone. More than one in 10 families in Surrey are headed by single mothers, a third of which are living in poverty, according to recent research. With Surrey’s growth, research also indicates this city is in need of more services that support single mothers, particularly in north and central Surrey. Currently, there are a wide range of services for families, but resources are stretched, and isolation, poverty and family service funding cuts are all evident. However, one local service for single moms is getting a huge boost with a donation of $450,000 from CEOs from three competing credit unions.

tools to seek employment, go back to school or find safe, affordable housing and child care. Support groups are now available at the YWCA Alder Gardens in Newton and Sources Women’s Place in South Surrey. “I am inspired by the generosity of the three credit unions and the exceptional women who lead them,” said Janet Austin, CEO of YWCA Metro Vancouver. “They show us the true meaning of cooperation and they demonstrate that it is possible for competitors to collaborate to drive positive social change. With their support, the YWCA can create the conditions for many single mothers to build better futures for themselves and their children.” YWCA Metro Vancouver is a registered charity, providing a range of integrated services for women and their families, and those seeking to improve the quality of their lives. From early learning and care to housing, health and fitness, employment services and leadership, YWCA Vancouver touches lives in communities.

rely on it in a sudden cold snap. When positioning bird feeders, it is advisable to have bushes fairly close, so that birds can escape if a predator appears. Very many birds die by hitting windows, so feeders should be placed either well away from buildings or within one metre of the glass. This prevents flying birds from gaining speed and injuring themselves on impact. Ultra-violet, leaf-shaped window decals work well as a glass alert, and are unobtrusive for people looking out. Domestic cats are also a major danger for small birds and should be kept indoors as much as possible. With care, you can have a garden full of birds to watch all winter.

Aging Pattullo vulnerable to quakes, river scouring, ship collisions

Bridge closure a risk in wait for span upgrade Jeff Nagel Black Press

The Pattullo Bridge might have to be shut down for years until a replacement is built if TransLink determines it can’t be upgraded to address growing concerns about seismic and other safety risks. That’s one of the outcomes officials say is possible if Surrey and New Westminster councils continue to clash over the size and positioning of a Pattullo replacement. TransLink has embarked on a new assessment of the 75-year-old bridge, to be finished early in 2013, that will determine if it’s even possible to perform a major seismic and safety upgrade. The aim would be to extend its life by at best a couple more decades at a rough cost of $150 million. The bridge would be reduced to three lanes with a counterflow to end the hazard posed by its narrow width. Bob Paddon, executive vice-president for strategic planning, said TransLink’s preference is still an all-new replacement bridge, which

might be tolled, but said without agreement between the cities the decision was made to look again at rehabilitation. “If we couldn’t rehabilitate to get to the level of seismic standard we’re seeking, we’d have to give some consideration as to whether you move on closure and what that would look like,” he said. Paddon said closure is “extremely unlikely” but bridge conditions could make it necessary. A consultant report to TransLink in 2007 warned “the bridge is vulnerable to collapse even under moderate earthquakes and is in urgent need of retrofitting.” The bridge’s ability to withstand a quake could be improved if rehabilitation is feasible, but the bridge’s engineering limitations mean it couldn’t reach modern seismic standards. An earthquake isn’t the only threat. The bridge was designed when river conditions weren’t well known and fast-moving water scours away at the bridge’s piers and foundations. Its design also leaves the bridge

The Pattullo Bridge may be shut down if wait for upgrades drags on. vulnerable to impact from a ship and its deck steel, concrete and some other components are corroding or deteriorating. “The bridge is safe,” Paddon stressed, adding there’s ongoing monitoring. He said the Pattullo is a key

transportation link on which local economies have been built and the crossing is needed. Surrey has pushed for a six-lane replacement but New Westminster opposes anything larger than four lanes and argues a different alignment may be needed to keep traffic

from clogging local streets. “We know we can fill it at one end but we have to be able to empty it at the other end,” New Westminster Mayor Wayne Wright said. He said he believes TransLink has taken his city’s concerns to heart and that an agreement on replacement is within reach. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said closing the bridge would cause unimaginable traffic congestion. “If you take that crossing away it would be disastrous,” she said. Watts said the Pattullo must be replaced, adding whether it needs to be four or six lanes depends on the final configuration. “We don’t see how that bridge can be rehabilitated,” added Anita Huberman, executive director of the Surrey Board of Trade. If a new bridge is built, the earliest it could open is 2020. TransLink hopes to get the cities on board and approve a funded plan by fall of 2014, triggering six years of work. The Pattullo is the designated untolled alternative for the new Port Mann Bridge, which opens with tolls next month.

Border boost

Nexus lane added Travellers heading to the U.S. via the Douglas (Peace Arch) border crossing now have one more Nexus lane to speed up the process. Canada Border Services Agency announced Thursday (Nov. 8) that the additional trusted-traveller lane at the crossing will be used to process Nexus members during high-volume traffic periods. At other times, it will serve as a regular lane. Nexus lanes are open from 7 a.m. until midnight, seven days a week, for entry into Canada. A new Nexus lane was also announced for the Abbotsford-Huntingdon port of entry. The new lanes are part of the Nexus program enhancements through the Canada/ U.S. Action Plan on Perimeter Security and Economic Competitiveness (Action Plan). Currently, there are more than 750,000 Nexus members. For more information on the program, visit www.nexus.gc.ca

Judge bans driver from road for four years

Three months jail for fatal crash Sheila Reynolds Black Press

The driver responsible for a 2009 crash that launched his car into the air and onto another, killing a man, has been sentenced to 90 days in jail. Avinash Prasad, 31, is also banned from driving for four years and was fined $2,000 for the collision that killed Sean Arland. Prasad was initially charged with dangerous driving causing death, to which he pleaded not guilty. He later pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention, without reasonable consideration for other persons and at an excessive speed. Prasad was 27 on March 28, 2009 when he was driving near 176 Street on 64 Avenue. He was seen speeding and changing lanes as he approached the

Homicide arrests Police have arrested two men in connection with the shooting death of a man at a Surrey gathering in May. Noel Jackson was at a house in the 12400block of 70 Avenue when several people got into an argument. Two men left and returned with another a short time later. Police believe two of the men went inside and shot Jackson while the third waited outside. Jackson died by the time emergency crews arrived. Last week, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) announced that Jonathan Michael Kishimoto, 21, and Michael Alexander Ross, 24, have been charged with seconddegree murder. “To obtain charge approval on two individuals just six months after the homicide… speaks to the persistence and tenacity of each of our IHIT investigators,” said Sgt. Jennifer Pound.

intersection. As he changed lanes to pass another car, he hit a curb, overcompensated and veered across the road. According to a sentencing report, he then hit a small cement centre median with such force that his car was “rendered airborne” and came down on Arland’s car. Arland, a 42-year-old father of

two was pronounced dead at the scene. Prasad’s sentence was delivered in New Westminster Supreme Court last month and posted online on Nov. 2. The judge noted that “in all respects other than his driving,” he seems to be a responsible and contributing member of society. He has no criminal record, but according to Crown prosecutors, had 17 driving infractions. Prior to sentencing, Arland’s wife and the eldest of his two daughters read victim-impact statements in court. “The loss suffered by friends and family is immense and incalculable,” said Justice Murray Blok. “If only all careless and irresponsible drivers were here so that they could make the connection between their actions and the all-too-common consequences of their actions.”

Harmonious family The Honeywell family has been synonymous with music on the Semiahmoo Peninsula – and even further afield – for decades, and that phenomenon doesn’t show any signs of declining. The music of Rice Honeywell Sr. is a regular feature at Five Corners Bistro, where Rice Honeywell Jr. and his wife, Cathy, are hosts, granddaughter Shannie Honeywell is a waitress and grandson Nate Honeywell helps out in the kitchen. The senior Honeywell, on keyboard, is joined every Wednesday night at the bistro by Bob Storms, sax and clarinet player formerly with the 10th Avenue and Bathtub Gin jazz bands, for several sets of smooth jazz and classic ballads for couples who enjoy music from the swing and big band eras. Rice Jr. has also been known to join the duo on harmonica for boogie and blues numbers at the venue. Reservations are recommended (604-538-5455). On Friday nights, Rice Sr. switches to cornet as leader of Red Beans and Rice (also house band of the White Rock Traditional Jazz Society) for Dixieland-style evenings at Porter’s Bistro in Langley Township’s historic Murrayville district (reservations recommended, 604-530-5297). It’s an enjoyably unconventional all-ages scene drawing teens as well as senior jazz fans, and 15-year-old Ethan Honeywell (another grandson) often plays drums, while his dad Keith has also been known to fill-in on trombone.

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. Not a fan of swimming herself, Blissett discovered her subject through the urging of a friend. “I was struck by the pool scene,” she says. “Everybody’s crammed in together on the cement decks; there are regulars who’ve been using the pools for years. They’re a throwback to another time.” Opening party is Nov. 15, 7-11 p.m. at the gallery. The show continues Nov. 16, 7-11 p.m. and Nov. 17, noon to 7 p.m.

A new surgery-free, non-invasive technique gets rid of unwanted fat! Even if you’ve endured never-ending marathon workouts, you probably have pockets of plump that won’t budge. And while going under the knife may be tempting, the pain is not! Now you don’t have to. Thanks to Zeltiq a new surgery-free FDA approved technique is available and New Beauty Institute is pleased to have been chosen to be able to offer the treatment.

EXPERIENCING HAND PAIN?

How it works: As temperatures plunge, fat cells freeze long before muscle, skin or any other tissue does! Zeltiq Coolsculpting takes advantage of this by chilling fat deposits to around 45 degrees. “Damaged, frozen fat cells can’t be repaired by the body, so they’re smoothing out even stubborn fat pads within two to four months” says dermatologist Mark S. Nestor, M.D., Director of the Center for Cosmetic Enhancement in Miami, Florida. And specific troublespots can be easily targeted! What to expect: Zeltiq Coolsculpting takes about one hour per treated area. Since no anaesthetics, needles, or incisions are needed you can head back to your normal activities right away; there is no downtime. Treated areas tend to look red and feel a bit stiff for about 20 minutes, and some patients experience temporary bruising, numbness, or tenderness.

‘We’ve waited a long time to get this far’

Curling rink ready to rock at nationals Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

team of Peace Arch curlers are getting set to bring their game to the national stage. And for all four of them, the trip has been a long time coming. The local rink, skipped by Richard Brower and also including Berry Breton (vice), Larry Macdonald (second), and Deryk Brower (lead), heads to Scarborough, Ont. at the end of the week, where they’ll hit the ice against other top teams from across ❝You try for Canada in the men’s so long to win division of the Domina provincial ion Curling Club championship, Championship, taking so you want to place Nov. 19-24 at make sure you the Scarboro Golf and have a good Country Club.

The Brower rink qualified for the national championship back in April, after being crowned B.C. club champions at a bonspiel in Richmond. Prior to that win, the team had to win its own league, before moving on to Lower Mainland playdowns, which they also won. And while all four are experienced curlers – Richard Brower is manager of the Peace Arch Curling Centre – none have ever competed at the national level. That challenge is one he and his teammates are looking forward to, said Macdonald, who at 59 is the oldest member of the team. “Most of us have waited a long time to get this far. I’ve been curling since I was a teen-

Macdonald and Breton were teammates at other clubs “for a number of years,” where they often won club titles, both in men’s and mixed leagues. And the Brower brothers have also curled together since Deryk, 46, took up the sport in the early 1990s. “Gosh, we’ve curled at a lot of clubs – Vancouver, North Shore Winter Club, Richmond, Langley, Tunnel Town in Tsawwassen,” said Richard Brower, who is five years older than his brother. “I’ve moved around and worked in a lot of different curling rinks, and Deryk has kind of followed me around, and curled with me wherever I’ve been working.” Two years ago, curling on a Langley-based team, they came as close as they ever had to a making the Dominion championship, losing in a tiebreaker in provincial finals. Making it this time around was no easy feat, either, Macdonald points out. “We had to get on one heck of a winning streak back in the spring just to get this far.” And while all four know the competition in Ontario will be as stiff as they’ve ever faced, they’re doing their best to balance their competitiveness with the desire to simply enjoy the experience. “Right now, we’re getting as many games in as we can, to get ready, and we’re practising together and on our own – I just finished a 90-minute session by myself. We know there will be no weak teams,” Macdonald explained. “We’re going there to represent our province well. You try for so long to win a provincial championship, so you want to make sure you have a good time, too.” For more on the Dominion Championship, go to www.curling.ca/thedominioncurls or visit the event’s Facebook page, www.facebook.com/thedominioncurls
