Toddler’s mother speaks out, as Appeal Court upholds convictions
Drunk driver’s fate ‘inconsequential’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Two years after launching an appeal of her impaired and dangerous-driving convictions, Carol Berner was put in jail to begin serving her sentence for causing the death of toddler Alexa Middelaer. But her incarceration this week was short. Hours after B.C. Court of Appeal Justice Kathryn Neilson announced the decision to dismiss Berner’s appeal, the 60-year-
old – who had been free on bail pending the decision – was granted release pending an appeal of her sentence. The date of that hearing is expected to be determined later this week, Crown John Gordon said, noting appeal court Justice Catherine Ryan indicated she wants it heard before the end of March. The dismissal of Berner’s convictions appeal was heard in Vancouver chambers Tuesday. Gordon said outside court that he was
not surprised by the decision. “This is good,” Gordon told Peace Arch News. “All of the convictions were upheld.” In July 2010, Berner was found guilty of two counts of dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm and two counts of impaired driving causing death and bodily harm, after losing control of her car on a Delta street in May 2008, striking and killing Alexa. The four-year-old, who attended pre-
school in Crescent Beach, had been feeding a horse at the side of the road with her aunt, Daphne Johanson, who was seriously injured in the collision. Berner was sentenced to 2½ years in prison and a five-year driving ban. Her appeal was heard on Nov. 10, 2011. At that time, defence lawyer David Tarnow asked the three Appeal Court justices to acquit his client or call Carol Berner for a new trial. appealing sentence › see page A4

When the marchers arrived at the centre, eight officers removed their regulation stetsons and carried his casket on their shoulders into the arena with slow, careful steps.

Initial amendments unsupported by public, White Rock planner says
‘A simpler solution’ for monster houses Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Amendments aimed at preventing more monster-size homes from being built in White Rock received preliminary approval from city council this week. But the changes that next go to public hearing are not those that raised concerns of residents last week. Council instead supported “a simpler solution” recommended by staff after residents spoke out – limiting the number of basements that single-family homes may have. “Everybody at that meeting was very supportive of limiting the size of houses in the RS-1 zone,” city planner Connie Halbert told council members Monday at a land-use
committee meeting before the council vote. “What was interesting was nobody supported… the proposed amendments.” At a Nov. 13 public information meeting, Halbert and other city staff detailed suggestions for single-family zoning that included adjusting the calculation of maximum gross floor area to include limiting the permitted floor area of a home’s second storey to 80 per cent of its first floor; and ensuring that the floor area of daylighted basements is included in lot-coverage calculations. The latter was contentious because it effectively prohibited walk-out basements. It was suggested after a builder in White Rock excavated to his lot’s property lines in order “to daylight” two levels of basement

Crash in White Rock
Cell user airlifted Distracted driving is being blamed for a T-bone crash Tuesday night that left a 53-year-old Delta man with a broken pelvis. White Rock RCMP Const. Janelle Shoihet said the collision occurred just before 8:30 p.m. Nov. 20, when a white Ford Explorer northbound on George Street pulled out onto North Bluff Road in front of a black Toyota 4Runner. “The file indicates that the person who got T-boned was talking on his cellphone,” she said. “The victim was on the phone with his wife.” Emergency crews had to use the jaws of life to extract the Explorer driver. He was airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital. The driver of the Toyota – a 17-year-old – was “essentially uninjured,” Shoihet said. Shoihet said it is likely both vehicles will be written off, a fact that was particularly upsetting to the South Surrey teenager. “He was pretty torn about it apparently because he just got that truck… had it all pimped out,” she said. “He was so excited to get this new truck and now it’s a write-off.” Investigation is ongoing.
Purse, art taken A South Surrey businesswoman is warning her Peninsula Village peers to keep an eye out for shady shoppers, after her purse and a “plaque print” were stolen Tuesday. Alice Warkentin said she noticed the items were missing from her Gallery 24 shop at the end of the day, and believes they were taken sometime between 1 and 6:30 p.m. Her purse – including credit and bank cards – was taken from its hiding place. The print – Angela Wrona’s Doin’ the Dishes – had been on display near the front door. While she didn’t see who took the items, Warkentin said the culprits were quick to take advantage of the ill-gotten goods. In reporting her credit card stolen, she learned it had already been used. Anyone with information on the thefts is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

1,074 pairs shoes to represent Canadians killed by impaired drivers last year
Family to honour lost souls at court Sheila Reynolds Black Press
There will be 1,074 pairs of shoes lining the steps in front of the Surrey courthouse on Saturday – each pair representing a Canadian killed by a drunk driver last year. The event, Remembering Someone Special, is being organized by Surrey’s Kaulius family and a group they created called Families for Justice. Kassandra Kaulius, 22, was killed in May 2011 when her car was hit by an impaired driver near 152 Street and 64 Avenue. The Kauliuses have collected hundreds of pairs of shoes for the courthouse display. “We’ve had a really, really good response from the community,” said Markita Kaulius, Kassandra’s mother. “These types of crimes affect many people… and we have school kids that have wanted to donate shoes and companies that have wanted
to donate shoes.” She said the mound of footwear being stored in her garage is growing rapidly and has already surpassed their initial goal of 1,074. Any pairs beyond that number, she said, will be piled behind the others on display to represent the 63,000 injured in 2011 by a drunk driver. “Every one of those people killed, that was a preventable death,” Markita said, adding many families of other impaired-driving victims plan to attend Saturday’s shoe-in. “That’s the point we want to make, is that every one of those shoes represent someone that should still be here.” She hopes the timing of the event, as Christmas approaches, also serves as a stark reminder to have a good time at holiday celebrations, but don’t get in your car if you’ve been drinking. “We just don’t want this to happen to anyone
and we want their loved ones to get home to their family for Christmas,” Markita said. “Ours, unfortunately, can’t but we hope everybody else does.” Natasha Warren, the driver who hit Kassandra Kaulius, pleaded guilty in July to dangerous driving causing death, impaired driving causing death and failure to stop at an accident. Her pre-sentencing hearing is scheduled for Dec. 17. Families for Justice is collecting signatures (petition accessible on the group’s Facebook page) to lobby for a minimum mandatory sentence of five years in jail if someone is convicted of impaired driving causing death. The Nov. 24 shoe event will take place at 1 p.m. on the front steps of Surrey Provincial Court, 14340 57 Ave. For more information, there is also a Kassandra Kaulius Memorial Page on Facebook.

Delay for verdict hard on all sides › from page A1 Tarnow argued that the trial judge had erred on several points of law in convicting Berner. Tuesday morning, Johanson – who still has mobility issues as a result of her injuries – was in attendance as Neilson released the 41-page judgment on behalf of herself and Justices Catherine Ryan and Elizabeth Bennett. Alexa’s mother, Laurel Middelaer, was delayed by heavy traffic and arrived shortly after the few seconds it took to announce the decision. Learning that the convictions had been upheld, she expressed relief. “We really didn’t know. We had a lot of angst leading up to this moment,” she told media outside court, referring to the length of time it took to receive a decision. “It’s a good day for our family.” Asked her feelings on Berner’s sentencing appeal, Middelaer – who is head of Southridge Junior School in South Surrey – said the penalty is not the family’s focus. “It’s not about Ms. Berner. We’ve elevated beyond that,” she said. “What happens to Ms. Berner is inconsequential to us.” More important is the message that the courts are sending in such cases, she said. “There are some real encouraging signs,” she said, citing a reduction in road fatalities. “But why can’t we do better?” Jason Tarnow – who, with his father, represented Berner through her trial and appeal – told Peace Arch News that while he had been surprised at the trial’s outcome, he “wasn’t holding (his) breath” that the appeal would be successful. “I was hopeful,” he said.

Surrey Memorial Hospital shutdown may last weeks
Patients ‘flood’ Peace Arch Jeff Nagel
Investing for Income
Black Press
The indefinite shutdown of B.C.’s busiest emergency department at Surrey Memorial Hospital after a flood there Monday is putting more pressure on alreadycongested hospitals around the region. A “couple hundred” emergency patients are likely being handled by other hospitals that would normally be at SMH, said Fraser Health spokesman Roy ThorpeDorward. “We’ve had reports from (Royal Columbian Hospital) and Peace Arch, in particular, that have seen more patients than usual,” he said. The ER at Surrey Memorial is now not expected to reopen until at least next week, Thorpe-Dorward said, and it may take two weeks to restore full service. The first floor was flooded after an excavator broke a water main during construction for the hospital’s expansion. Surrey Memorial’s ability to perform surgeries is also crippled because it’s only running one out of the usual eight operating rooms so far. More than 100 elective or nonurgent surgeries were initially cancelled and more are expected to be postponed each day. “A key priority is to get additional operating rooms up and

Patients are being diverted to other hospitals after a flood Monday. running,” Thorpe-Dorward said. Initially, the problem was concern about water and power. Now, ORs remain closed because diagnostic imaging and other equipment lost or damaged in the flood is not yet back online and the scramble to handle emergency patients without an ER has left the hospital short of staff. Patients who arrive at SMH and need urgent help are being treated at a 24-hour urgent care area opened at the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre near SMH, and a regional Mobile Medical Unit on standby for disasters is now set up there to act as a temporary ER. Less serious cases will be assessed and treated there, while more seriously ill patients will be transferred. Ambulance paramedics are automatically taking patients who
would normally go to SMH to other hospitals. All flood water has been removed but work is now focused on drying out the ER and assessing the restoration work needed and possible damage to sophisticated medical equipment. “Cleaning will obviously be important, as we have to create a sterile emergency environment,” Thorpe-Dorward said. Crews have built a temporary wall at the back of the ER, replacing the one that collapsed Monday when water released by the water main break burst through. Thorpe-Dorward said the health authority is proud of how Surrey ER staff performed when water suddenly gushed through the back wall. Twenty-five patients in the ER were quickly evacuated to other parts of the hospital.

Chips are falling where they may
W
hatever one feels about the Gateway casino/hotel/entertainment centre proposed for South Surrey – and whichever way our civic council’s vote goes – the project’s impact has already been felt. Sadly for those who want time to stand still, the Semiahmoo Peninsula is on the threshold of inevitable change, and it’s evident there are deep divisions here that this project is bringing into focus. Those divisions will become more marked, as the Peninsula struggles to determine its destiny through development. There are many opposed to a casino – no doubt the driving element of this proposition – on principle. They do not feel it is right, either ethically or morally, and some will cite first-hand experience with the true costs of gambling addiction. Others are not so opposed to a casino on moral grounds – they just don’t want one, or the social problems they perceive will attend it, in their own backyard. Others see the social effects as minimal, mitigated by the benefits of a big business and its customers in close proximity to their own businesses. More importantly than catering to gaming habitués, they feel, a convention/ entertainment centre will bring valuable tourist dollars to the community at large. No doubt the biggest bargaining chip for the casino is the $6 million revenue the BC Lottery Corporation estimates it will bring the City of Surrey annually. A row of extra zeroes has a way of making any budget look rosier. Councillors, it seems, have a ready-made rationale for approving the suggested site – they all-but approved a similar development there once before, and the hotel/commercial land use has been identified in the Highway 99 Corridor Local Area Plan since February 2004. While some may see no need for another casino, that’s not the case with the BCLC, which gladly provides statistics to prove this community is ‘underserved’ in terms of gaming entertainment. And BCLC’s confident stance is bolstered by the fact it is a leading provider of what the B.C. government needs: money. The bottom line is that the BCLC handed over some $1.1 billion to the province in the year 2011-2012. Even allowing for the 20 per cent turned back to charities and host communities, that’s still a chunk of cash for general revenue. Perhaps the biggest gambling addict local casino opponents have to fear is the B.C. government itself.

But when the fireplace is crackling away, with waves of heat flowing into the room, there is a definite aesthetic appeal that complements the cost savings. And when you step outside on a crisp fall/ winter evening and savour the tang of wood smoke, the pleasure is not only intensified, it conjures warm memories. So I have to wonder where those 90 complainers in Metro grew up, and what exactly don’t they like about it. Granted, if every home on the Lower Mainland was continuously belching smoke, there might be some health issues, but according to health authorities, wood smoke is not as carcinogenic as the burned diesel most of us breathe every time a truck passes. However, today most urban homes are not heated by wood, which by the way is carbon neutral for all you environmentalists out there. Burning gas, on the other hand, is not… otherwise the proposed gas-fired SE2 power plant in Sumas, Wash. would be going strong today. That was a battle worth fighting, but must every complaint or concern warrant punitive action on the part of regional districts and city councils? Perhaps Langley City councillor and vice-chair of Metro’s environment and parks committee, Gayle Martin, said it best: “Look at wood smoke compared to vehicles. Do you plan on banning vehicles? Are we going to ban something every time we get a complaint?” Mark Rushton writes for the Abbotsford News, sister paper to the Peace Arch News.

Critiques of health care
White Rock byelection
Editor: What’s happening to the Fraser Health care system? I am an 87-year-old, living alone. At 9 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29, I had an accident in my home. I tripped and fractured my upper left humerus – the arm bone between the elbow and shoulder. I called a friend who took me to emergency at Peace Arch Hospital. All the while, I was in severe pain. I was injected with a painkiller, an X-ray was taken, my arm was put in a sling over my clothes and I was sent home. I was informed a specialist would see me on Monday morning and that I was to call his office to make an appointment. I made the call Monday but was only able to leave a message, after which I went to see my family doctor. She was most upset home care had not been arranged. Subsequently, the specialist’s office called to say he would see me at the hospital on the Wednesday. I met with him and he had me fitted with a hard plastic stabilizer, at a cost to me of $230, as it is not covered by Medical Services Plan for seniors. My question is, why could this not have been done on the Saturday, and why is the stabilizer not covered? My family doctor and my daughter worked diligently to get the help I needed. If it wasn’t for my two daughters and a close friend to help me wash and have a change of clothes, I would have had to live in the clothes I had on. Another friend provided me with meals. Before their assistance, I was afraid to remove the sling and consequently I did sleep in my clothes. I eventually received assistance from Bayshore Home Health on Oct. 18. There was a different young lady every day, and all of them were very caring and very helpful. Let this be a warning; don’t expect to receive necessary services on Saturday or Sunday at hospital emergencies. P. Kroeker, Surrey n An open letter to Peace Arch Hospital staff. I wish to make a public thank you to the most professional and thorough care I received this month week when I was rushed to Peace Arch Hospital emergency after fainting in Safeway. The ambulance care was reassuring and fast. We then went directly to the emergency department, where everyone was calming and competent as they admitted me to the unit and hooked me up to my monitor. I was in emergency for two nights and then was moved upstairs to D4. The care there was superb as well. Nurses and doctors were most professional and generous with their time and knowledge in trying to diagnose my problem. I would like to say a big thank you to all of you for your care and support. Glenn Smith, Surrey
Editor: Re: Lawrence tops City of White Rock byelection, Nov. 6. It is refreshing to see Bill Lawrence finally gain a seat on White Rock council. I met him a couple of years ago when he first ran for local office. At that time, I was personally impressed with his calm demeanour, his approach to local politics and, most of all, his knowledge and awareness of the local issues. He will be a breath of fresh air to White Rock council. On the issue of local business, I hope Lawrence will revisit the Amtrak topic. To have an Amtrak passenger-train stop in the community would be a major coup for the community and more so for the hospitality businesses in the catchment areas. Good luck. Orvis Noel, Surrey n An open letter to the 85 per cent who didn’t vote. Voting is a privilege. Not every nation allows democracy and not
every individual has a voice. Fundamentally, democracy believes in the individual. We are fortunate to be able to act as individuals in the eyes of our government. Voting does not necessarily make our country better, but it is certain that individuals make our country better by participating in the democratic process. It shows we are actively engaging our government by determining its course. Without voting, democracy would ultimately fail. Citizens should find solace in having the right to voice their opinion, and voting is an extension of this form of expression. If one does not vote, they lose that chance to express their opinion. And as each opinion matters, there is no such thing as an insignificant election. All elections matter, as it is your chance to be heard. In this vein, we should all embrace that we have the right to vote. Most of us do not know anything other than having this right; we are fortunate. I invite you to study the history of democracy, and realize the value of your vote. It is not something to be ignored or thought of as meaningless; many have fought and died for the democratic rights so many take for granted. Steven Hughes, White Rock
Accidents do happen Editor: Re: Ship expertise questioned, Nov. 6 letters. In response to letter-writer Lori Ragan’s stern questioning of my credentials, let me take this opportunity to invite all who read this to look at an official map of B.C. to view the waterways that must be navigated by super oil tankers in order to transport tar sands oil from Kitimat to Asia, if the Northern Gateway project is realized. However, I especially want to point out that Hartley Bay is on the proposed oil tanker route, where BC Ferries’ Queen of the North ran aground in 2006 and to this day remains beneath the water leaking contaminants into the environment. Maybe a reminder of this neverending disaster, which took place on a routine ferry trip, will instigate more awareness of the unfathomable risks that a potential increase in oil-tanker traffic could bring to our coastal waters and its people. In fact, my homework tells me that accidents do happen. E. Kearns, White Rock

Around 300 residents packed a meeting last week for a new casino, hotel and convention centre in South Surrey.
Cool reception for hot-button issue Editor: So the proposed casino will create new jobs? Baloney! After construction is completed the only jobs created will be for gambling addiction counsellors. Jim Armstrong, Surrey n Now, despite having online gambling from BCLC 24 hours a day from the comfort of your home, despite having opportunities to gamble in Newton, Whalley, Cloverdale, New Westminster and Langley, despite having casinos down the freeway in Richmond and across the new bridge that promises to get us to Coquitlam’s casino in record time, the powers that be tell us there is need for yet another casino in South Surrey. As well as being in an inappropriate, primarily rural and residential area, South Surrey is already trying to cope with power and water supply problems and clogged roads, due to the accelerated pace of development. Casino tax money being dangled before council is a short-term prize if they choose to ignore long-term costs, such as increased infrastructure costs for roads, water, hydro, extra policing and court costs, to name some. There are plenty of casinos a 30-minute drive from here to keep even the most determined gamblers happy. Peter Battistoni, Surrey
n In two years time, if approved, Gateway will open the doors to its newest casino in South Surrey. Two years ago, the residents of South Surrey were told a new high school would be built. Let’s not forget the students and parents who rallied against an unpopular plan to deal with the growing high school population. We don’t have our high school, nor is it being built. We need schools, recreation centres, pools and parks. The casino development for 10 Avenue and 168 Street is completely inappropriate for our area. At night we hear the alpacas/llamas across the highway in that area. We hear coyotes and owls as well. There are nesting bald eagles just a few houses away. How about building our much-needed school; I hear there’s an ideal property at 10 Avenue and 168 Street. Carole Robertson, Surrey n From the timing-is-everything department… Nov. 8 quote from Cliff Annable, executive director of the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce: The casino project is the best thing since sliced bread.

White Rock Councillor Bill Lawrence is sworn in Monday at city hall.
Bill Lawrence takes oath of office
Councillor sworn in Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
White Rock’s newest city councillor received a hearty standing ovation Monday, following his swearing-in at city hall. But Bill Lawrence was quickly – and lightheartedly – cautioned against expecting more of the same anytime soon. “So take your place over there and savour the moment because that may be your last standing ovation,” Mayor Wayne Baldwin quipped, to much laughter. Lawrence won the seat by collecting 620 votes in the Nov. 3 byelection, beating out eight other candidates. The vote was necessitated by the June 26 death of longtime councillor Mary-Wade Anderson. A number of former White Rock mayors turned out Monday to wish Lawrence well: Judy Forster, Hardy Staub and Gordon Hogg, who is the current Surrey-White Rock MLA. The ceremony opened with the singing of O Canada by well-known local soprano Miriah Reitmeier.
Following the swearing-in, which was conducted by Judge Gary Cohen, Lawrence said he has no illusions that the road ahead will be easy. But, “I’m up to the challenge,” he said. The businessman described his byelection win as the result of “a lot of hard work.” It was his third run at a seat on council. He is not planning to immediately target any particular city issue. “My main focus is to get my feet wet,” he said. That happened in short order Monday. Lawrence cast his first official vote within minutes of taking his oath, in favour of adjourning the special meeting held to welcome him aboard. Following a reception in the city hall lobby, he joined his fellow council members in a closed meeting. The group then returned to chambers for the scheduled land-use and planning committee meeting, which was followed by the conclusion of one other matter on the agenda for the special council meeting.

‘In Adrian’s case, RCMP needed him’ › from page A1 Mitchell also spoke, describing how the two rookie officers met and fell in love during basic training in Regina. She called him the love of her life. “Adrian, your kindness inspires me to be a better person, your goofiness reminds me to stay a kid at heart and your dedication motivates me to try my best at anything I do,” she said. “The love we share is enough to fill me for a lifetime.” Chief Supt. Andrew Boland, a close friend of the family, told the crowd he has often said there are people the RCMP needs and there are people who need the RCMP. “In Adrian’s case, the RCMP needed him,” Boland said. RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson described his first meeting with Constable Oliver, Regimental Number 57673, at a New Year’s event in Ottawa with Adrian’s father, Joe, who is also an RCMP officer. “I was fascinated to observe them and tried to figure out who was prouder of whom,” Paulson

He was exactly the kind of member that makes this force the exceptional institution that it is.” In a written statement issued before the funeral service, the Oliver family expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support they have received. “We wanted you all to know that Adrian was a truly compassionate and caring man with an infectious smile and willingness to help anyone and everyone he
could,” the statement reads. The family said people wishing to honour Adrian’s memory could make donations to the Honour House Society (wwww. honourhouse.ca) which offers a temporary home for Canadian Forces personnel, veterans, first responders (ambulance paramedics, firefighters and police) and their families. RCMP estimate about 4,200 police officers marched in the funeral, and about 6,000 people attended the ceremony in total, while another 5,000 people viewed the service online.

White Rock’s Christmas Day dinner at First United Church has become a much-beloved annual tradition, bringing together Peninsula residents to share in some holiday joy.
Annual event planned again for First United Church
Volunteers sought for Christmas dinner Alex Browne
I
Staff Reporter
t’s a community tradition that has persisted and grown for more than three decades. And it’s a great opportunity for those who want a rewarding volunteer job on Christmas Day. At its heart is a simple assumption – that the holiday isn’t always the way it’s depicted in the movies and illustrations. It isn’t always about large families gathering together around a storybook-perfect hearth and home and Christmas tree. The realities are that families are often grown and gone, or separated; that the traditional significance of Christmas Day has become otherwise altered by circumstances; that there are people who may be alone or lonely at a time when some of us seem almost weighed down by family and social commitments. White Rock’s Christmas Day Dinner, at First United Church, also hinges on
another reality – that there are many who find meaning in sharing such an allencompassing experience of community, and for whom Christmas would not be the same without volunteering their time to make sure the tradition continues. That’s why each year the ad-hoc organizing committee issues an appeal for community
helpers through Sources Volunteer Services. And each year, there’s a deadline – volunteers for this year’s dinner must all be registered by Dec. 6. Some 60 volunteers are necessary to prepare the meal, decorate the hall, and drive participants, as well as greet and serve the 200 or so who usually show up for the turkey feast, the informal retelling of the scriptural story, the singalong and the visit from Santa (who usually bears a slight resemblance to White Rock-South Surrey MLA Gordon Hogg). White Rock Youth Ambassadors always do their part in welcoming guests, but there’s also a need for parking attendants, people capable of doing the ‘heavy-lifting’ jobs, as well as the all-important clean-up crew – as well as volunteers to supervise the volunteers. It’s not all a matter of working on Christmas Day, either. On Christmas Eve the committee needs potato peelers and
choppers, carrot peelers and choppers, and people to slice the onions, celery and bread for the turkey stuffing and fill condiment bowls. The day before, organizers also need as many volunteers as possible – particularly younger men – to set up tables and chairs. Decorators are also required, as well as people to set tables, sign cards and fill gift bags. For Christmas Day, chef Leslie Maudsley needs a crew of helpers to set out condiments and beverages, mash potatoes, fill serving trays, do early dish and pot and pan cleaning, and dish out food on plates. Some six people will be needed just to scrape plates, rinse dishes, load and empty the dishwasher, while another 25 food and beverage servers will be required – and as many as possible to assist guests as they leave and clean up the hall. To volunteer, or for more information, call 604-542-4357.

Marlin Travel, White Rock office proudly presents our ‘The Asia Collection’ to all our customers. ‘The Asia Collection’ tours are created and operated by World Travel Management – an Asia destination specialist with a mission to develop tour packages of the best possible enjoyment and value. All of the World Travel Management team members have been in the Asian travel industry for over 30 years and many of the Marlin Travel consultants have traveled themselves on these tours. This experience and the travel business connections built up over these three decades has resulted in a set of very competently assembled standard Asian tours and the talent for arranging high value customized travel packages. Since 2002 we have been operating three distinctive itineraries to China. This set of tours have now been upgraded to deluxe programs – which means our groups can now be composed of as few as two persons. We are also currently in the process of expanding the scope of our China tours to include itineraries that may be more attractive to both budget-conscious and retired clients. For example, 13-day Scenic China is China 101. Introduction to the capital city, Beijing plus the beautiful coastal cities like Nanjing, Wuxi, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Shanghai. We have two programs to the Yangtze River, 15-day Companion Travel Free is the most popular one not only because of the in-depth itinerary showcasing Beijing, Yangtze River, Xi’an, Suzhou and Shanghai but it is two for one price. There are several dates in 2013 for this tour. Call for details. If customers don’t mind spending a bit more, why not consider the 18day Legend of the Two Rivers. We use
straight international 5-star hotels plus bonuses like hotel dinner, etc. For repeat customers, we can also take them to the Silk Road and Tibet. 2013 departure dates on this itinerary 20 Mar, 24 Apr. For a more flexible way of travelling, we also offer seven different land packages to China all year round. In 2005 we launched our Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand package. This package has now been upgraded to an all inclusive deluxe tour. We also offer individual Free and Easy Thailand land packages throughout the whole year. We also offer our exciting new India, Africa and Middle East, and Peru tours with departures in 2013. Last but not least, our 10-day Japan Hot Deal is a great introduction to Japan. The tour begins in Tokyo where we will spend a couple of days visiting some of this modern, exciting city’s most notable landmarks. After busy Tokyo the tour changes pace – we will board a coach to Mount Fuji and Hakone. After a tranquil night at a traditional hot spring resort hotel, we will zip off to Kyoto by bullet train to see the sights of Kyoto, Nara and Kobe. The tour terminates in Osaka, where you might satisfy any remaining urge left to shop in famous Shinsabashi. If you are planning to visit Asia, please call us to discuss your vacation travel plans at 604-538-4499. 15 Days Yangtze River Tour promotion: We have two departures in March, 13th and 27th. If passengers book either of these departures and put down a deposit before 31st Dec. the early bird discount is CAD100 per person.

Last year, Metro Vancouver residents donated more than 3,000 scarves, gloves, blankets and new unwrapped gifts for distribution to children, teenagers and adults. This year, the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’
Angel Trees A holiday program aimed at helping those in need has launched at Envision Financial’s South Surrey location. It is the third year for the Angel Tree program, in which members of the public
are invited to take an angel ornament from a decorated tree in any participating branch and return it with a new, unwrapped gift for the child, youth or senior that the angel represents. There is also the option of selecting a tin-can ornament and returning it with a nonperishable food item or cash donation. All of the gifts and donations collected by Dec. 8 will be delivered to a non-profit agency or Christmas bureau. “The statistics really speak to the need for this program,” said Susan Byrom, manager of corporate citizenship at Envision. “One in five children in B.C. live under the poverty line and this year alone, B.C. food banks served over 28,000 kids. “By participating (in the Angel Tree program), local residents have the opportunity to make the holidays brighter for families, children and seniors in our communities.” Last year, the Angel Tree program collected 600 Christmas gifts. Envision has created a video to share the Angel Tree message. For every view (www.youtube. com/envisionfinancial), Envision will donate $1 to the program, to a maximum of $10,000. Those funds will then be distributed to the program’s community partners. In Surrey, those partners are the Surrey Christmas Bureau and the Surrey Food Bank.

Delta student scores award The Zoot Suit Riots sparked a fashion trend in the late ’40s and were the inspiration for a swing band song in the mid-’90s. However, not many high school students know the historic details of the ethnic conflict. North Delta student Scott Peverell and Corwan Groux from Ontario interpreted and analyzed the 1944 riots that rocked Montreal with a series of largescale brawls between servicemen, especially sailors, against civilians, including zoot suitwearing youths. Groux and Peverell competed head-to-head with students from across Canada in the 2012 Begbie Canadian History Contest and scored 100 per cent. The pair’s win not only earned them about $1,000 in prizes, but they’ll also be flown to Ottawa to collect a medal at the Governor General’s History Awards. The Begbie contest is a competition that challenges senior students to use their knowledge of Canadian history. The two-hour contest consists of 25 questions based on major events in Canadian history from 1850 to the present. The emphasis is on critical thinking skills using sources such as political cartoons, paintings, posters, graphs, maps, statistics, songs, speeches, diaries, letters, newspaper articles and memoirs. Last year, Peverell scored 96 per cent in the competition, tying for third place.

White Rock event has outgrown Kent Street Activity Centre, manager says
Winter farmers’ market seeking new home Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter
T
HT
The White Rock winter farmers’ market is searching for a new home. The post-summer market has simply grown too big for its current home at the Kent Street Activity Centre, manager Helen Fathers said. The first of two winter markets held on Sunday, Nov.4, packed the interior of the 2,400-square-foot community centre at 1475 Kent St. and overflowed outside into the parking lot where about a dozen vendors were selling from shelter canopies. “We seem to have outgrown it (the centre),” Fathers told Peace Arch News last week. “Because we’ve been so successful in the summer months, a lot of vendors turned out for the winter market.” Fathers said the only White Rock location big enough to accommodate an expanded winter market is the Star of the Sea hall at 15262 Pacific Ave., and that is usually booked on Sundays. “Maybe we can move to a Saturday,” Fathers said, adding no final decision has been made about a relocation or schedule change. The manager of the flea market at the Star of the Sea doesn’t see a conflict with his event but warns there could still be problems accommodating the farmers’ market. For the past 25 years, the Star of the Sea hall has hosted a flea market administered by the Knights of Columbus charity on the first Saturday of the month from September through December. Flea market manager Phil Limbert said

one potential problem with staging a Sunday winter market at the Star of the Sea hall is the morning church service at the same location. Limbert added the Star of the Sea hall is only slightly bigger than the Kent Street facility at approximately 3,000 sq. ft, but it does have more parking space available. “The problem they’ve (the farmers winter market has) got is they’re using the parking

lot,” Limbert said. Limbert said as far as he knows, no one from the farmers’ market has approached the hall about using it in November and December. “It’s the first I’ve heard of it,” Limbert said when Peace Arch News contacted him on Wednesday last week. This year, the White Rock Farmers’ market had its busiest summer yet, according to its website, which reports 77 vendors attended the final event of the season at its Russell Avenue location on Oct. 7.
The 13-year-old non-profit market offers a weekly space to sellers of fresh fruits and vegetables with an emphasis on locallygrown farm produce. There are also baked goods, preserves, garden products, specialty food items and crafts produced by local artisans. It operates 20 weeks out of the year, from the last Sunday in May until Thanksgiving Sunday, followed by the two winter markets in November and December. The next winter market will take place at the Kent Street Activity Centre on Sunday Dec. 2, 2012 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m.

The municipalities participating include Surrey, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Hope, City of Langley, Township of Langley, Maple Ridge, Mission and Pitt Meadows. The mobile business licence fee will be $250, in addition to the regular business licence fee.

Surrey residents pitch in for reward
Sarah Payne Black Press
A group of Surrey residents is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of suspects in connection with an assault on a security guard in Port Coquitlam. Vikram Bajwa, along with Rajvir Singh Jhand, Jaswinder Parmar, Kuldip Singh and Hakam Bhullar, are each pitching in money for the reward. None of them know the victim of the assault, 64-yearold Hoshiar Singh Bajwa, also a Surrey resident. “We thought we should do something about it since there has been no arrest for over two weeks now,” said Vikram Bajwa. “We don’t know him
personally, it’s just a community effort, a good citizen effort.” In the early morning hours of Sunday, Oct. 14, three men attacked Hoshiar Bajwa as he patrolled the construction site at Pitt River Middle School. He suffered extensive injuries, with large lacerations across his face, and is now recovering at home. Earlier this week, Coquitlam RCMP released photos of two jackets found near the scene of the assault, which they believe were worn by the suspects. Officers are hoping anyone who recognizes the jackets will come forward with information about the incident and call 604-945-1550 with file number 2012-28845.

Steady decline since Bait Cars introduced
Car thefts, break-ins drop Jeff Nagel Black Press
Car thefts in Surrey were down another 16 per cent in the first six months of 2012, while vehicle break-ins dropped another 28 per cent. The statistics released by the provincial government show a continuing decline in auto crime. The turning point was the introduction of the Bait Car program in 2002, when auto crime was steadily rising and B.C. had one of the highest rates in North America. Surrey car thefts have plunged 66 per cent since then, from
2,426 in 2003 to 817 in 2012 (all figures for the first six months of the year). The drop was 78 per cent over that period for the entire Lower Mainland. Thefts from vehicles in Surrey are down 59 per cent since 2002 and 64 per cent across the region. ICBC officials say auto crime hasn’t been eradicated and thieves still prowl parking lots and streets looking for easy targets. Older vehicles are at greater risk because they often don’t have effective anti-theft devices and are easier to steal.
“By removing valuables, using an electronic vehicle immobilizer and parking in well-lit areas, you’re helping to prevent auto crime,” transportation minister Mary Polak said. ICBC tips include: • Use an anti-theft device and remove possessions from your vehicle; • Electronic immobilizers are the best protection; • Steering-wheel locks are a good visual deterrent for auto thieves but offer a lower form of protection. • Park in well-lit areas, near pedestrian traffic.

ADVERTORIAL FEATURE
The importance of proper estate planning The importance of proper estate planning cannot be overstated. Estate planning is the act of planning out your financial, legal, and other affairs in ways to ensure that your wishes are followed when you pass away or when you become incapable of making these important decisions on your own. Depending on your needs, your estate planning may be limited to a Will, or it may include a variety of other documents, including: Trusts, Powers of Attorney, and Representation Agreements. Estate planning may appear to be simple because clients know what they want; however, there are often complex issues that can only be spotted by an experienced estate planning lawyer. These issues have to be considered in order to put your plan in place. How you want to structure your affairs will depend on, and often be made more complex by many factors, such as: • your health status and mental capability (e.g. mental health issues, diminished capacity, disabilities, vulnerabilities); • the type of assets you have (e.g. land, bank accounts, business assets, personal assets); • the people you want to benefit or exclude (e.g. family, friends, charities); • the individuals you want to care for (e.g. children, elderly, mentally disabled persons); the family dynamics in place (e.g. common-law or legal marriage, blended family, second marriage, children, step-children); • the potential challenges made by other individuals to change your estate plan after death (e.g. challenges by spouses or adult children); • the applicable law that may affect your estate plan (e.g. company law, tax law, family law and Wills Variation legislation); and • the long-term goals you want to achieveThe above is by no means an exhaustive list, but is meant to provide a sampling of issues that estate planning lawyers must consider in preparing your estate plan. In forming a plan, both positive and negative contingencies need to be considered. Estate planning lawyers can anticipate many of the future issues which can arise and advise on an estate plan that deals with these contingencies in a way that is satisfactory to you. It is always important to review your plans at least every few years to confirm that they
still adequately reflect your wishes given your present circumstances. Without having spoken with an estate planning lawyer, you will not know what issues could render your estate plan vulnerable or invalid. Without proper estate planning, estate litigation could be the unfortunate result. Estate litigation typically arises after the estate planner has passed away or has become incapable, leaving the litigation on the shoulders of family members and those left behind. Not only can these disputes take years to resolve, but they are often financially and emotionally draining and may have significant negative impacts on the families involved. Be cautious of estate planning tools that appear to be “one-size-fits-all.” Proper estate planning is more than filling in the blanks about who gets what. The estate planning lawyers at McQuarrie Hunter LLP will work with you to develop a plan that reflects your instructions and circumstances, and does its best to protect your estate plan from challenges in the future. Most important, proper estate planning gives you the peace of mind knowing that your affairs are well-organized and “in order”. If you need assistance in creating an estate plan or would like more information, please contact, Kim Floeck or Allison Catherwood of McQuarrie Hunter LLP at 604-581-7001.

A legacy of giving In 1997, Kate decided to make a bequest for undergraduate awards in Medicine: “I couldn’t give a gift in real time, so I thought an estate gift was a good solution,” she explains. “It takes an organization like UBC to find a cure for major diseases like cancer, which is prevalent in our family. If I could contribute towards a cure, even in some small way—well, that would be awesome.” Kate’s generosity inspired her husband and daughter, who are also members of the UBC community, to follow suit. Robert is an alumnus who has worked in
GWYNETH GUNN 1921-2003 Currently reporting on development pressures in Brazil As Development Liaison Officer for UBC’s Development and Alumni Engagement, Kate Bush knows firsthand how estate gifts to the University help shape the experience of students through financial aid, academic opportunities, and extracurricular initiatives. “Supporting students and research is such a thrill. I can’t work in a place if I’m not passionate about the cause.” Plant Operations at UBC for almost 34 years while Laura works in Campus and Community Planning and is pursuing her degree at UBC part time. As a graduate of Physical Education, Robert plans to leave his bequest to the Athletics Department while Laura’s gift is currently undesignated, so it can be put towards the area of greatest need. “Students come to UBC to figure out who they are,” explains Laura. “You never know—you could be sitting next to someone who cures a major disease, produces a great composition or becomes the next Olympic champion. Students have so much potential, so why not support them?” Kate, Robert and Laura all agree that financial need shouldn’t bar any student from university. “If my gift helps someone gain access to higher education, that would be great,” says Laura. “People who undertake university on their own, without the help of parents or scholarship money, have a really hard time,” says Kate. “I like the idea of making someone’s life a little easier.” “Besides,” adds Robert, “you never know. The money you put towards UBC could benefit you in ways you never thought possible.”
Thank you Gwyneth Gunn, for making what I do possible. Journalism can be an expensive subject to study and the types of stories that I like to cover often mean support gives me the chance to take risks, to get out into the world and do a story that people maybe haven’t heard about. It’s so inspiring to know that there are people out there who really value the pursuit of knowledge. I hope that some day I am in a position to pass that on and encourage other young people to continue in this profession. – Lisa Hale, Master of Journalism student
Gwyneth Gunn expressed her passion for education with a bequest to UBC, which today, continues to ensure vital funding for students in the Schools of Journalism and Social Work.

PST worries businesses

Returning to the old provincial sales tax next April 1 will increase paperwork for B.C. businesses and cost them harmonized sales tax credits on equipment and other inputs, the legislature finance committee reminded the B.C. government last week. After its annual tour of the province to get input on the 2013 budget, the committee urges Finance Minister Mike de Jong to consider its expert panel recommendations to ease the impact on business of scrapping the HST. Some industry associations want the government to provide a tax credit that would compensate them for the PST they will have to pay on purchases of machinery and equipment. Those taxes were lifted under the HST, which recovered revenue by extending seven-per-cent sales taxes to a range of consumer services that won’t be taxed starting next spring. The finance committee was also asked to consult the public on a “made-in-B.C. value-added tax” that would accomplish some of the goals of the HST under another name. That would be a volatile discussion to begin with a provincial election set for May 14, 2013.

An HST protest outside the legislature in Victoria in 2009. The provincial sales tax returns on April 1. The administrative burden of the switch starts with businesses reprogramming cash registers and other systems to go back to two separate sales taxes. The switch to the HST in 2010 revealed some national retailers were not accurately applying the B.C. sales tax, which has decades of accumulated exemptions and rules that don’t apply in other provinces. The finance ministry has been working on a system to allow businesses to register online for the return of the PST, and to train owners of thousands of businesses that have started up since the HST conversion in 2010.
The ministry has set up a website for businesses to manage the transition at www.pstinbc.ca The finance committee has also endorsed a widespread business call to balance the provincial budget starting next spring. The effects of the worldwide financial crisis of 2008 pushed B.C.’s books into the red, and deficits continued this year as B.C. had to repay a $1.6 billion HST transition fund provided by Ottawa. The B.C. Chamber of Commerce and other groups also called on the finance committee to ease the burden of B.C.’s carbon tax.

It’s an atmosphere well-known to Christmas on the Peninsula founder and chair Liv Butow, who grew up in the village of Moss, south of Oslo in Norway. She remembers that there the official launch of Christmas – at the end of November or beginning of December – was a chance for people to walk around town, meet with neighbours, admire the ingenuity of household and business decorations, enjoy seasonal goodies and ultimately gather in the village square for the lighting of the tree. And she says that walking around the uptown White Rock area – where businesses, churches

“While we have the events at the White Rock Community Centre, of course, there are so may different things happening throughout the uptown area that we don’t have the space for them,” she said. In addition to the Breakfast in Bethlehem – featuring a pancake breakfast, with a petting zoo
and a pageant with costumed performers helping to recreate the sights and sounds of the days of the Nativity – there are an abundance of other events throughout the day along the Johnston Road corridor from Five Corners to Miramar Village designed to bring on a Christmas frame of mind. At WorldServe Thrift Store (1401 Johnston Rd.) there will be a display of Christmas trees from around the world (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.), while during the same hours, The Living Room Store (1233 Johnston Rd.) will offer a collection of Nativity scenes, and Star of the Sea Centre (15262 Pacific Ave.) will provide a

Husband-and-wife synth-pop duo Dear Rouge rises up and gives back
Local music fans seeing red Boaz Joseph Black Press
Drew and Danielle McTaggart made two promises to each other when they got married in June 2011. One, they’d make a name for themselves with music – at least semi-professionally – before settling down and having kids. And two, they’d give back as much support as they took in. This month, their song, Thinking About You, is being played on FM102.7 The Peak at least three times a day and, on Saturday night, they performed for one of Surrey’s largest fundraising events for the Centre for Child Development. So far, so good for Dear Rouge, the synth-pop husbandand-wife duo, who have collaborated after previously working on independent music projects. (The band’s name comes from Danielle’s hometown, Red Deer, Alta.). Their band – backed by musicians Adam Stewart (keyboard, guitar), Maclean Carlson (drums) and Ryan Worsley (bass) – has recently cracked the top three spots in The Peak Performance Project, guaranteeing them a minimum of $50,000 to invest in their next album. Second prize nets $75,000 and the winner takes home $100,000. The McTaggarts will learn the results tonight (Thursday), when they play the iconic Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver for the contest finale. Drew says making the top

Synth-pop duo Dear Rouge are set to perform tonight in Vancouver. three out of 500 bands is a huge deal, giving Dear Rouge not only local buzz but the “whole” experience of being a working band, including videos, social media and photography. What they also had to finetune was a unique sound for Dear Rouge, a major musical diversion from Drew’s “old” (but concurrent) band, as well as his own acoustic/folksy personal style and Danielle’s pop background. In a one-two punch this year, they released two short EPs, Heads Up! Watch Out! in April and Kids Wanna Know in October. Drew says the biggest challenge in trying to break into the mainstream is creating music that’s radio-friendly. That means lots of rethinking. The band’s pop songs, he says, must find a balance between the
extremes of too creative and too cheesy, and they can’t be longer than four minutes. While the couple now have the finances in place to fund their first full album for 2013, they haven’t forgotten their roots and are keeping full-time jobs. (Drew is a sales representative at Peace Arch News’ sister paper, The Surrey Leader). And they continue to donate 10 per cent of all music sales to the Centre for Child Development, which supports children with developmental disabilities and their families. They’ve also recorded Noah’s Song for Noah Jacobson, a South Surrey boy who has autism, with all proceeds from its online sales (www.dearrouge. com) going to his therapy. Drew says giving back is “a foundation of who we are as people.”

Bergmanns to reveal new piece
New work from duo Alex Browne Arts Reporter
As Elizabeth Bergmann – of the South Surrey-based Bergmann piano duo – puts it, “it’s an advantage when your other half is a composer and arranger.” It’ll be that side of her husband, Marcel, that audiences will see spotlighted this Saturday (Nov. 24) in a 7:30 p.m. concert, A Portrait of Barbara Pentland, at Langley Community Music School’s Rose Gellert Hall, 4899 207 St. As well as the virtuoso teamwork and textures of the award-winning, internationally-recognized duo – they moved here from Calgary two years ago – the concert will feature an, as-yet, untitled new piece for two pianos composed by Marcel. Commissioned by the Canadian Music Centre, it’s a tribute to Pentland that draws inspiration from the late Canadian composer and one-time UBC professor’s use of text as part of her “darker” works created in the Vietnam era of the late ’60s and early ’70s. Pentland’s work, itself inspired by the Anton Webern’s compositions using tone rows and atonality, placed her at the forefront of the Canadian avante-garde, and the Bergmanns’ salute will include three of her own compositions, the Two Piano Sonata, Three Piano Duets After Pictures by Paul Klee and Puppet Show.

School stalwart Ian Hampton will also offer his memories of Pentland, who died in 2000. Marcel, who reveres Stravinsky and counts influences as diverse as pop and jazz, said he has built his new composition on a soundscape of spoken word media snippets, in which phrases are fragmented and repeated. “It’s a collage of interviews about doom and gloom, relating to the culture of fear, and how we have to be kept in a state of perpetual worry,” he said. “The rhythm of the speech becomes inspiring musically. Repetition and variation are two principals at the foundation of music – Beethoven has a lot of repetition in his music.” At 2 p.m. the same day, a Canadian Music Week student concert will also pay tribute to Pentland.

travelled to the United Kingdom and in 2011 went to Fiji, Samoa and New Zealand. “Yeah, it’s funny how things work out. No tour this year, but if there was, we would’ve had to say no (to Japan),” Roberts said. The longtime rugby coach, who also coaches sevens rugby at Western Washington University in Bellingham, said he’s thrilled to be able to give his Grade 12 players an international trip, after all. “It was tough. I was absolutely gutted that some of these guys – guys who’d worked so hard and been in the program right from the start – weren’t going to get to go on a tour,” he said, mentioning by name Grade 12 captain Kai Duchnycz and fellow seniors Lucas Isola and Colin Stonier. “But now the guys are just really fired up and ready to go.” › see page A37
The Bayside Sharks will be taking aim at a pair of women’s rugby titles this weekend, as both the club’s U18 and senior teams get set to hit the pitch. The U18 Sharks are set to take on Abbotsford in the B.C. final Sunday, while on Saturday, the senior Sharks will battle with a familiar foe, Burnaby Lake for the Anna Schnell Cup, awarded to the Lower Mainland Tier 1 champion. Sunday’s game starts at 10 a.m. at Abbotsford’s Rotary Stadium, while a time and location for the senior game was still to-be-determined by Peace Arch News’ press deadlines Wednesday afternoon. For the senior team, the title tilt is a chance for redemption. Last year, Burnaby Lake – the No. 2-ranked team in regular season, just behind the Sharks – edged Bayside 6-0 in the finals, and have had the South Surrey team’s number for the better part of a decade. The Sharks did beat them in regular-season action, 29-22, earlier this fall, however. “I think that was the first time we’d beat them in about 12 years, and after losing in last year’s final, we really don’t want to lose to them again,” said Bayside coach Kyle Ferguson. Since beating Burnaby in October, Bayside has reeled off wins over Meralomas, 37-5, and United Rugby Club (Coquitlam), 32-12, to finish atop the Lower Mainland Tier 1 standings with a perfect 6-0 record. In semifinals last week, they cruised to a 37-0 shutout win over SFU. “It was a pretty good game. We scored some points early and just kept rolling,” Ferguson said. In semifinals, the team was without a few key starters due to injury, but Ferguson expects to have close to a full roster available for Saturday’s championship game. › see page A37

Team ‘fired up’ › from page A35 The tournament nod, Roberts points out, should also be a point of pride for the school’s graduated players, many of whom helped boost Marriott into Rugby Canada’s view. “It should mean a lot to guys who’ve moved on – we have them to thank for a lot of this. Guys like Keaton Styles, who plays for Canada now, and Steve Bouchard and Quinton Willms,” Roberts said.
“They all played a huge part.” The high-school rugby season doesn’t begin until the spring, and in the meantime, the team will be fundraising for its trip. The team will have all expenses paid once they arrive for the event, but still must pay for plane tickets. “It’s pretty expensive to get that many people to Japan,” Roberts said. “But it’s going to be worth it. There’s nothing bigger.”
Trophies on line › from page A35 “We have some who should be coming back, so hopefully that gives us a bit of a boost,” he said. And though the Sharks won their most recent battle with Burnaby Lake, Ferguson said his team – which he described as “confident, but not cocky” – expects as tough a game as they’ve had all season. “Burnaby is just, overall, a very good team, and they have been for awhile. They’re well-drilled, wellcoached – they don’t make a lot of mistakes,” he said. “So when they do make a mistake, you have to capitalize, because you can be pretty sure they’re going to do the same to you.” In U18 action, Bayside arrives in the B.C. final
after a low-scoring 5-0 win over Cowichan on Nov. 18. Their opponents from Abbotsford, meanwhile, earned their berth in the title contest after a 26-10 win over Capilano-Burnaby in the other semifinal game. Like their senior teammates, the U18s will also be looking for a little redemption, having lost in the last two provincial finals. “Third time’s the charm, right?” laughed U18 manager Sandra Rijken. The U18 Sharks are 4-1 this season, and are playing well heading into this weekend’s action, Rijken said. “We’ve had a really great season so far. It’s going to be a good, hard-fought game, but the girls are excited.”

Cross-country championships
Runners set for nationals A handful of South Surrey and White Rock trail runners will be taking on the best in the country this weekend, at Canadian cross-country championships. The national event, which is co-hosted by South Surrey’s Ocean Athletics Track and Field Club, is set for Saturday at Vancouver’s Jericho Beach, and will feature a slew of local talent. Among those slated to compete are Trinity Western University’s Blair Johnston, a White Rock Christian Academy alum; UBC runner and Elgin Park grad Luc Bruchet, who is coming off a third-place finish at NAIA championships in Washington last weekend and is a contender for a Team Canada spot; and fellow UBC runner, and Semiahmoo Secondary grad, Jack
Williams, who will run in the junior men’s race. Ocean Athletics coach/runner Maureen de St. Croix will also compete in the masters division, while Ocean Athletics member Peggy Noel, who runs for Simon Fraser University, will also take part. The one-day cross-country event will begin with the eight-km masters men’s and women’s championships at 10 a.m., followed by the five-km junior women’s race at 11:15 a.m., children’s one-km race at noon, junior men’s eight-km race at 12:15 p.m.; community/ open five-km race at 1 p.m., seven-km senior women’s championship at 1:45 p.m. and 10-km senior men at 2:30 p.m. For more info, visit www.xcountry.athletics. ca - Nick Greenizan
DR. MICHAEL QUINN 1917-2005 Currently conducting cognitive research in Barcelona Dr. Quinn’s wonderful gift gave me an opportunity to travel to Europe for the first time and experience the benefits of a new culture and research environment. With the UBC Vision Lab I have been studying how the brain processes visual information, and with the Multisensory Research Group in Barcelona, Spain I was able to expand this research to include touch. This has uncovered new knowledge about how we process information in our everyday lives. Understanding how the brain works under normal circumstances is a critical step in ultimately helping those with conditions such as Attention Deficit Disorder or Autism. Thank you Dr. Quinn. – Allison Brennan, PhD student Dr. Michael Quinn expressed his passion for clinical psychology with a bequest to UBC, ensuring vital funding for psychology faculty and students. For more information on how UBC can help you plan a lasting legacy in a field important to you, visit www.startanevolution.ca/Quinn7 or call 604.822.5373.

Pattullo Bridge turns 75 Grant Granger

Black Press
gleaming new Pattullo Bridge officially opened Nov. 15, 1937 with a great deal of fanfare about how modern it was. The ceremony’s official souvenir program bragged the span was “planned not only to meet all requirements of today but to anticipate traffic expansion for years to come.” Seventy-five years later, the weathered and rusted structure soldiers on, although “years to come” ran out decades ago. The connection across the Fraser River between Surrey and New Westminster was well used long before the first rivet was drilled on the Pattullo. The first crossings were done by the K de K and Surrey ferries. In 1904, a wooden bridge was completed that carried trains on one level and carts, pedestrians, produce, horses, cattle, and assorted farm animals on another. Then along came the motor vehicle, and the bridge quickly became obsolete because building of public works projects such as a it was too narrow for two to pass each big bridge named after him. other. A paddle had to be passed back and There was a lot of discussion about where forth from one end of the bridge to another to put it. There was some talk of connectto indicate if the bridge was occupied or ing right into downtown New Westminster not.

duced for the opening ceremonies and a fancy three-course luncheon was served at Queen’s Park Arena in New Westminster. Following the Second World War in the late 1940s and into the 1950s, the economy improved dramatically and the Pattullo proved its worth. “As soon as the war is over you now have quite a boom in gas and cars,” says Miller. “The bridge begins to pay its dividends because then it becomes easy to nip across.” As the years went by, other crossings in the region were built, such as the Port Mann, Queensborough, Alex Fraser, Knight Street, Oak Street and Arthur Laing bridges, as well as the George Massey tunnel. And vehicles got wider, and the gap between sideview mirrors got narrower. For drivers, the trip across the Pattullo became more challenging. During the ’90s and into this century, the span became notorious because of numerous fatal accidents, forcing authorities to close the inside lanes overnight to reduce the death toll. As the 75th anniversary of Duff Pattullo cutting the ribbon on the state-of-theart bridge neared, TransLink, which is

The deck, girders, and structural components show signs of corrosion and deterioration. A 2007 report to TransLink determined the bridge is vulnerable to collapse even if there’s only a moderate earthquake. As any white-knuckled driver going over the bridge knows, the Pattullo’s lanes are too narrow for today’s vehicles while the sidewalk leaves pedestrians and cyclists unprotected from traffic. TransLink says there’s an average of 138 accidents a year on the span. There’s also a fear the bridge’s foundations could be exposed to the Fraser’s fast flow that removes sand and rocks from around the bridge piers, and its foundation is having issues caused by river scour. Earlier this year, TransLink proposed a six-lane replacement for the bridge at a cost of up to $1 billion. Last week, TransLink said it will be doing a new assessment to determine if it’s possible to extend the Pattullo’s life by a couple more decades with safety and seismic upgrades. If that is done, the bridge would be reduced to three lanes. TransLink executive vice-president for strategic planning Bob Paddon told Black Press the bridge is safe and while closure is “extremely unlikely,” conditions could make it necessary. With the fanfare over the Pattullo long since faded, the big question now is whether it’s had its last hurrah.

GVHBA launches 17th annual campaign to benefit families in need
Collecting Coats for Kids The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association is collecting Coats for Kids for the 17th year in support of the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, which helps families in need have a great and warm holiday season. Gently used coats, blankets and clothing can be dropped off at the GVHBA office in Surrey or at 64 locations around the Lower Mainland until Dec. 7. “Last year the response to Coats for Kids was heartwarming as Lower Mainland residents donated more than 3,000 coats, scarves, gloves, blankets and new unwrapped toys and gifts for distribution to children, teenagers
and adults,” says GVHBA Chair Blake Hudema. “I am delighted so many members of our association are participating in this annual initiative.” Among the locations you can drop off donations are many Black Press publications, developers and other housing industry professionals in Abbotsford, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Delta, Langley, Maple Ridge, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Surrey, Richmond, Vancouver and West Vancouver. For a full list of participating locations and times when you can drop off donations, visit www.gvhba.org.
