Gateway suggests 70% of residents welcome casino; opponents cite city documents showing much lower support

Sides in casino debate spar over polls Alex Browne Staff Reporter

A drive to muster public backing for Gateway Casinos and Entertainment’s proposed South Surrey casino, hotel and conference centre has generated more than 7,000 expressions of support – and some 70 per cent support from Surrey residents responding to requests for feedback – according to a company spokesperson.

Tanya Gabara said an estimated 2,800 Surrey residents expressed support for the proposal, while 4,900 non-Surrey residents also backed the $100-million complex at 10 Avenue and 168 Street.

The numbers were made public Friday, as Surrey council was preparing to consider the proposal at a Monday meeting, which took place after Peace Arch News’ deadline.

Responding by email to PAN’s request for a

more detailed breakdown of figures, Gabara said the company estimates that – out of total feedback received for the project – 70 per cent of Surrey residents who responded supported it, while 86 per cent of people from other municipalities were in favour.

“A broad cross-section of the community sees opportunity and benefits in our proposal,” Gabara said in the original press release.

“We are very pleased that so many Surrey residents support this project, and we are also thrilled with the support the project is receiving from outside of Surrey.”

But Terry McNeice, president of the South Surrey Ratepayers Association – which has been campaigning against the proposal – said a City of Surrey planning and development report paints a different picture. › see page 2

‘Slow down,’ cyclist urges Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Donna-Marie Tarver can’t emphasize the message to drivers and cyclists enough: slow down and wear a helmet.

The White Rock woman is certain the latter is what saved her when she was struck by a car while riding in South Surrey Nov. 30. And she’s confident if the driver who hit her hadn’t been in a hurry, the collision would never have occurred.

“If he’d paid attention just to the road laws… I’d still be OK,” Tarver said Monday.

Tarver, 48, was hit by a Jeep Cherokee around 4:30 p.m., seconds after turning off of 16 Avenue to head north on Martin Drive en route to the South Surrey Bike Park.

The last thing the mother of four remembers is looking over her left shoulder to check for traffic. The next thing she knew, she was lying on the pavement and could hear the voice of a White Rock firefighter. › see page 4

Surrey RCMP arrested a suspect Thursday in connection with a hit-and-run 2½ days earlier at the intersection of 152 Street and 32 Avenue.

A 53-year-old Surrey man faces a charge of dangerous driving causing bodily harm in connection with the Dec. 3 incident, in which two women were injured shortly before 8 p.m. while jogging in a crosswalk.

The man’s identity has not been released, pending a first court appearance set for May 13. Police said the arrest was made early Dec. 6

at a residence not far from the crash scene, and a BMW X1 was seized as evidence.

Media attention, including the release of traffic-camera footage of the collision, helped police locate the suspect vehicle, by triggering the memory of a person who was on scene.

Delta resident Shelley Lammers, 51, was expected to return home Monday, after a week at Royal Columbian Hospital, suffering from a concussion, fractured ribs, a collapsed lung, two broken vertebrae and a lacerated liver.

She was airlifted to the hospital, while her less-seriously-injured running partner, Nola

Carlson – who suffered four facial fractures, including a broken nose and fractured cheek when the impact of the vehicle threw Lammers into her – was transported by ambulance.

Both women were wearing reflective clothing and headlamps at the time of the incident.

Carlson told Peace Arch News Thursday she was relieved by word of the arrest.

“I’m delighted with the good news,” she said.

Surrey Mayor takes shot at Vancouver’s plans

Cut grandiose SkyTrain plan, Watts says Jeff Nagel Black Press

Vancouver should pare down its overly ambitious plan for a $2-billion-plus buried SkyTrain line along Broadway toward UBC, says Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts.

She said she’s not worried the heavily promoted Vancouver rapid transit line might take priority ahead of Surrey’s aim of building light rail lines.

But Watts warned “nobody’s getting anything” until there’s a deal with the province to generate much more money in taxes or tolls for TransLink and it will be important to keep a lid on costs of proposed projects if that process is to succeed.

“We can have all the grandiose ideas that we want but unless that sustainable funding policy is in place, nothing’s going to happen,”

she said. “Vancouver wants to push their agenda and they have every right to do that.

But I would suggest that the multi-billiondollar project that they’re proposing is not going to fly with residents in Surrey – and Surrey residents will be contributing to it.”

It’s the first time Surrey representatives have taken a direct shot at Vancouver’s plans.

The two cities have sought to advance their rapid transit agendas in tandem without being drawn into a potentially divisive conflict over scarce funding that could unravel the broad consensus at the regional mayors’ council in dealing with Victoria.

Watts spoke after Vancouver officials – led

by Mayor Gregor Robertson – recently stepped up their pitch for rapid transit on the heavily congested Broadway corridor.

Vancouver planners have concluded a bur-

ied SkyTrain subway is needed to avoid paralyzing traffic on Broadway with streetlevel light rail trains or streetcars.

Watts challenged Vancouver and UBC officials to instead consider other alternatives – like following SFU’s lead and building new campuses that could serve UBC students on existing transit lines.

“UBC’s a small city and they built it at the end of a peninsula as far away as they could,” Watts said. “There has to be some critical thinking. Does it make sense to invest billions of dollars in infrastructure? Or does it make sense to have satellite campuses in other areas of the region?”

Part of the problem, Watts said, is that development at UBC has focused on market housing – adding to the population there – rather than student housing, which would

have reduced demand on transit corridors.

Surrey wants three light rail lines – along 104 Avenue to Guildford, down King George Boulevard toward White Rock and southeast along Fraser Highway towards Langley.

Watts said the price tag of about $2 billion is far less and covers more of Surrey than if more expensive SkyTrain was used.

Vancouver Coun. Geoff Meggs called Watts’ comments an “interesting discussion” but added Vancouver hopes to make its rationale better understood across the region.

He said Vancouver could make the argument that Surrey corridors should be built with B-Line bus service ahead of rail, in light of current ridership, but it hasn’t done so.

“We don’t quarrel with Surrey’s aspirations to grow a progressive rapid transit system,” Meggs said.

Surrey driver choked

Guilty pleas for bus attacks Monique Tamminga Black Press

A 20-year-old Surrey man charged in connection with two violent attacks on local transit, including the choking of a bus driver in Newton and stabbing of a passenger in Aldergrove, is to be sentenced on Dec. 20.

Steven Fayant was in Surrey Provincial Court Wednesday for a presentencing hearing, after unexpectantly pleading guilty on Oct. 10.

He pleaded guilty to aggravated assault for the stabbing of a Langley man who was getting off the bus near Aldergrove Centre Mall on Feb. 21, and for choking a Surrey bus driver on Feb. 18.

Before police knew who was responsible, the bus drivers’ union issued a public warning about the attacks.

Fayant was arrested at his Surrey home a couple of days after the second attack. The arrest was made possible after a Langley Mountie recognized him from surveillance footage provided by TransLink.

Fayant was denied bail and has been behind bars since his arrest.

The judge has ordered a psychiatric evaluation.

The victim of the stabbing wasn’t known to Fayant and it isn’t known what provoked the incident, police said. The 41-year-old man was stabbed in the back as he was getting off the bus. He has since recovered.

In the Surrey incident, a bus driver on the 321 bus from Surrey Central Station to White Rock advised passenger Fayant that he was standing too close to the windshield and asked him to move back.

Fayant complied without objection, but at a later stop grabbed the driver “with both hands around the throat and started choking him,” according to Gavin Davies, of the Canadian Auto Workers Union.

The driver was in shock and didn’t fight back, but Fayant suddenly let go and bolted off the bus.

Surrey mum as other cities voice concerns

Mayor offers no coal-train position Jeff Nagel Black Press

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts says she’s taking no position yet on Fraser Surrey Docks’ proposal to build a controversial new coal-export terminal in her city on the Fraser River.

Mayors from Delta and Vancouver have already voiced concern about plans to ramp up coal exports, and the proposed new terminal in Surrey and the expansion of an existing one in North Vancouver are under fire from climate change activists.

Port Metro Vancouver says it has referred the two proposals to the cities of Surrey and North Vancouver for comment.

But Watts said she was not yet aware of any request for council to take a position.

“When we get it, we’ll have a look,” she said.

“We need to make sure we have all the information before us before we have a position one way or another.”

Watts said the city’s chief concern is that the public be adequately consulted.

Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt said Thursday that no city residents have raised the issue with him.

In a letter to the port released last week, Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson said he’s con-

cerned the two proposals, making Metro Vancouver North America’s largest coal-exporting port, are being considered without full public consultation.

The Fraser Surrey Docks terminal would handle four million tonnes of coal initially, doubling later to eight million.

It would ship thermal coal from the U.S. that would come on coal trains running through White Rock, South Surrey and Delta on the BNSF railway.

A second proposal would let Neptune Terminals in North Vancouver boost exports of metallurgical coal from 12 to 18 milllion tonnes per year.

“It has not been an issue in the community,” said North Vancouver City Mayor Darrell Mussatto, adding the coal is for steel-making, not to burn for power – a coal use he doesn’t support.

His council hasn’t taken any position on the Neptune project.

Outbound coal would go by barge to Texada Island and then be reloaded onto ships.

Coal has long been exported from Metro Vancouver via Westshore Terminals in Delta – where a shipping accident Friday dropped some coal into the ocean.

But opponents say more of it – especially thermal coal – appears to be coming from U.S. producers because new terminals proposed in Washington and Oregon have run into determined protests.

As with oil pipeline proposals, environmentalists would like to keep U.S. coal from being burned and adding to greenhouse gas emmissons, but the coal terminal projects can be directly approved by port managers, without regulatory hearings or the consent of any other level of government.

The two proposals could boost Metro Vancouver coal exports by more than a third, from 40 to 54 million tonnes per year.

A poll paid for by the Victoria-based Dogwood Initiative found 64 per cent of B.C. respondents were unaware when asked if they’d heard of plans by U.S. coal mining companies to ship coal to Asia via B.C. ports.

And 47 per cent said they oppose letting U.S. firms “export their coal to China and the rest of Asia by way of our ports.”

The questions asked by Justason Market Intelligence made no mention of the fact large volumes of coal already move through Port Metro Vancouver and Prince Rupert.

Man, 53, arrested near crash site

› from page 1 About 25 seconds after, a figure can be seen approaching the women on foot and leaning over them briefly, before departing rapidly a few seconds later.

That video jogged the memory of one individual, police said. The witness “noted odd behaviour of one person at the scene” and remembered a licence-plate number, a police spokesperson said.

Witnesses “were instrumental in helping our officers put the pieces together and track down the alleged suspect,” Cpl. Bert Paquet said in a news release Thursday afternoon. “We worked diligently to ensure that a quick arrest was made, as we are aware of the impact this incident has had on the community, and hope this will help bring some closure to the victims and their families.”

Prior to the arrest, Carlson told PAN it scared her to think that anyone would leave a scene after causing so much damage.

“I honestly thought that Shelley

was going to die,” she said, hoping that her words would encourage the driver to come forward and others to be more careful.

“I think it’s heinous… to leave a woman like Shelley on the ground and drive away. I’m appalled and I’m frightened – what’s the world coming to when these kinds of accidents happen and drivers just leave the person lying there?”

Carlson said she and Lammers had no warning before the vehicle hit but had done everything before setting out for their run to ensure they would be safe.

They wore reflective clothing and headlamps, and Carlson remembers checking to ensure cars were stopped before they crossed.

The pair were at the tail-end of a six-kilometre run when the collision occurred. Lammers, who met Carlson a year ago through a running clinic, had agreed to pace a shorter route with her, while others ran eight kilometres.

Carlson said the vehicle hit Lammers, who flew into her, sending

her face-first on the road.

She doesn’t recall the person seen briefly in the video at their side. She does remember the people who stopped to help, including one who held her neck to stabilize it and another who brought her a towel.

Carlson described Lammers as “a much-loved girl” who always puts other people first. Even as she lay in the ambulance, Lammers sent someone to find out how Carlson was doing, she said.

Despite the horror of the experience, Carlson said she feels fortunate. Good Samaritans came to their aid, and the paramedic who tended to her was a calming presence in the chaos.

“There were some kind people there, so I’m going to try to focus on that going forward,” she said.

She intends to get back to running as soon as possible, but she is not without reservations.

“I’ll be terrified to run at night,” she said. “We did everything we were supposed to do to be safe.”

Sorry, but Surrey is next in line

T

here’s a transit tussle brewing between Metro’s biggest cities.

On one side – Vancouver, with Mayor Gregor Robertson and his ambitious pitch for a nearly $3-billion SkyTrain system to the University of B.C. On the other – Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and her long-standing battle cry for better transit options for her burgeoning city.

At issue is the next TransLink mega-project to go ahead (provided the regional mayor’s council can reach a deal with the province for more funding options).

Surrey is calling for three light rail lines – along 104 Avenue to Guildford, down King George Boulevard toward White Rock, and southeast along Fraser Highway towards Langley, at a cost of about $2 billion – far less than it would be if more expensive SkyTrain was used.

Watts is not impressed with Vancouver’s “grandiose” subway scheme.

“I would suggest that the multi-billion-dollar project that they’re proposing is not going to fly with residents in Surrey…”

That’s putting it mildly.

Stinging from the news that a Highway 1 express bus over the new Port Mann Bridge won’t stop in Surrey, and still smarting from years of substandard transit service south of the Fraser, Surrey residents – who receive about 90 to 95 cents worth of service from every dollar they contribute to TransLink through gas tax, property tax, and transit fares – won’t move to the back of the bus on this one.

Especially when there are more logical solutions.

Watts’ idea to open satellite UBC sites rather than carve out a $3-billion SkyTrain to the main campus at the farthest western edge of Vancouver is bang on.

SFU’s Surrey location (the main campus is in Burnaby) – with its innovative programs and savvy spot downtown (right next to SkyTrain) – is a lesson in success. Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, the Central City site has reached its capacity of serving 7,000 students and is looking to expand.

Within the next few years, Surrey will be the largest city on this side of the country – and the growth is not going to stop. Sinking $3 billion into a SkyTrain system in a city that is built out and already well served by transit is myopic and unaffordable.

If Vancouver insists on Cadillac transit, then it must wait in line until after Surrey gets its essential system.

for an LNG project planned by Shell, PetroChina and Korea Gas. And Sterritt said he started getting signals from Victoria that the industry doesn’t want to buy power from outside producers to drive LNG cooling and compression.

Instead they wanted to power it directly with gas, using equipment called “mechanical drives” rather than electrical drives.

In a letter to Haisla members explaining why he quit the Coastal First Nations, Ross said he was insulted by Sterritt’s comments that the Haisla were choosing “the dirtiest way possible” to ship LNG. Ross noted that emissions would be about the same if gas is burned in the LNG plant or in a power plant nearby.

That’s true, but Sterritt points out a critical difference. If LNG producers are allowed to use single-purpose mechanical drives, no renewable energy can ever be added. And as more LNG producers rush into B.C., reserves that would have lasted 75 to 100 years could be depleted in 30.

And when the gas is gone?

“These big, hulking plants that are going to be in Kitimat are just going to be sitting there, rotting,” Sterritt said. “It happens all over the world.”

B.C.’s clean-energy plan envisions extending the BC Hydro grid, developing run-of-river and wind farms such as the offshore proposal off Haida Gwaii, and ultimately a future beyond oil and gas.

Now, in their rush to develop LNG, Clark and Energy Minister Rich Coleman seem poised to abandon that strategy.

Peace Arch News

Parental guidance Editor: I have a comment regarding the current White Rock Players’ Club pantomime, Pinocchio, which I would like published in the letters section of the newspaper. I feel the families of our community must know and be warned.

My mother, who has had a career in – and is an avid supporter of – the performing arts, took my sevenyear-old daughter to opening night.

Knowing it was a pantomime did concern me, but once I researched the webpage of the players club, I noticed they specifically state in the opening paragraph of the description that “songs, dances and audience participation are sure to delight all ages from 6 to 106.”

Then to hear there was a main character who was a male dressed as a women teacher who was extremely over-the-top trampy, as well as the constant sexual innuendos – for example, you can imagine what they portrayed Pinocchio’s growing nose as – and then to have my daughter talk about it the next day… very disturbing.

Now, to be clear, I understand all about pantomimes, and my mother, who is English, comes from a theatre background, and we have no problem with the production or the story or with pantomimes in general, But to advertise that it is suitable for six-year-olds – let alone anyone under 12 – is quite disturbing.

Why are they not required to place a rating of PG-13 or something similar to warn those of us with small children, especially when it comes to children’s stories?

I do wish the production success.

They have regularly produced great pieces, but I ask, please, attract the appropriate audience.

From a loving father.

Grant O’Kane, White Rock

16 Avenue questions Editor: With all the concerned media dialogue related to the South Surrey casino project, there is the other equally contentious project that has slipped under the radar – the 16 Avenue overpass.

After writing letters and getting no response, I have opted to try and get some answers through the media asking one simple question: Why do we need a Highway 1 connection at 16 Avenue?

There has been mention of rerouting the “1,000 diesel trucks a day” off 32 Avenue.

First of all, I highly doubt there are that many diesel trucks, but let’s accept the premise that there is a problem with truck traffic; where do all these trucks come from and why do they wind up on 32nd?

If you believe the rhetoric, the plan is to direct these trucks to the new overpass on 16 Avenue so they will have easier access to the border

crossing. Have they looked at a map lately? Both Highway 1 and King George Boulevard connect at the roundabouts on 8 Avenue, an interchange that was upgraded for just that purpose.

The concept that I was told about at the November open house (Residents critical of freeway plans, Nov. 6) is that they want to move these nefarious 1,000 diesel trucks down to 16 Avenue, and if such is the case, pray tell me how is 16th going to handle the extra traffic?

At present, 16th is little more than a single-lane goat trail plugged up at times with all kinds of heavy truck traffic. And now, as I understand, they want to add more trucks.

I might have parts of this conceptualized project wrong. If I do, attribute it in part to the lack of detailed knowledge by those representing the province and/or City of Surrey at the open house.

The common response to questions I asked was that the ‘consultants’ had the answers, but I was told that they weren’t in attendance.

I am totally in favour of replacing the overpass on 16 Avenue and upgrading the King George Boulevard/16 Avenue interchange to include four turning lanes, however the design concept calls for narrowing 16th back to two lanes east of the new overpass.

If my understanding of what they are proposing is accurate, tell me how this makes any sense in view of all the proposed additional traffic.

There are just far too many unanswered questions that demand a more thorough understanding of the project and what they are trying to accomplish with our $24 million.

Casino hearing needs venue An open letter to the City of Surrey.

I am writing concerning the Jan. 14 public hearing that the City of Surrey is expected to chair on the proposed Gateway Casino to be located at 168 Street and 10 Avenue.

This public hearing would hold a great deal of interest to all Surrey residents and, in particular, the residents of South Surrey. I anticipate there will be a minimum of 500 residents who will want to speak.

This assumption is based on the last public meeting held on this issue – more than 430 people at Pacific Inn. As a resident of South Surrey, I am proposing that the public hearing take place in or near South Surrey.

Therefore, at present, there are only two locations that could hold a

crowd of this capacity.

The Surrey City Hall is not one of these locations. The City of Surrey’s seating capacity is only 169 seats and the standing room outside the city hall chambers would not begin to hold another 200 people safely.

Parking would also be an issue.

I would propose the City of Surrey hold the public hearing at either the Pacific Inn, which has seating for 800 people, or the Bell Centre, which has seating for 1,038 people.

I believe the Pacific Inn is quite an appropriate location, as it is just across the highway of the proposed location of the proposed casino and the site of the last public meeting.

I would also like to propose the public hearing be televised live on Shaw Cable 4. This will allow everyone who has an interest, but does not necessarily want to speak, to be part of the proceedings without being present. This would help reduce further traffic congestion both on the roadways and hallways, no matter where the hearing is held.

I realize both proposals will entail additional costs and time, however I believe the benefits regarding the safety of all participants is of prime concern to everyone.

Letter-writer Christine Bennet-Clark suggests $55 annual parking passes for residents and non-residents alike.

Cheaper parking would be a boon An open letter to White Rock council.

Regarding the new $175 non-resident parking passes, I’m truly delighted White Rock is finally offering nonresidents the opportunity to purchase parking passes.

But, I’m a little mystified by the price point.

I understood from the article in Peace Arch News (City sells 4 passes in first week, Nov. 13) that your goal was to replace the loss of income from parking meters due to a reduction in price and change of seasonal pricing over the summer months.

While financial objectives are great, we always want to be fiscally responsible. But don’t we also want to encourage shoppers to the Marine Drive strip yearround and give tourists visiting our beautiful seaside city a wonderful experience? May I suggest a different approach that will meet both objectives?

Why not sell resident and non-resident parking passes for $55 a year to everyone – including tourists.

I would further recommend parking passes be reduced at the six-month mark. Say, $35 after July 1. That way you get the maximum involvement of the tourist season.

Let’s compare the math. White Rock council is

hoping to sell 250 passes at $175 for a total of $43,750.

At $55, how many people do you think will purchase a pass? To be on the safe side, I’ll suggest a modest number of 1,000, which at $55 is $55,000 – well above what council is hoping to raise with the $175 price point.

What are the advantages of a lower price point and open parking-pass policy? Our neighbours in South Surrey and elsewhere will feel they are being treated fairly and equitably. Tourists will appreciate being able to park for a lesser amount while they visit our beautiful city. They will have more money to spend in the Marine Drive stores because they won’t be spending it on parking. They will also spend more time shopping and dining because they won’t be worrying about spending astronomical amounts of money on parking.

Parking passes make for great marketing. Tourists will tell their friends about the great City of White Rock that offers parking passes to its tourists. Marine Drive businesses will see more traffic and sales.

The City of White Rock will surpass its budget expectations.

Woman fighting 30-month jail sentence

Berner appeal set for spring The sentence appeal of a woman whose impaired and dangerous driving convictions were recently upheld will be heard in Vancouver early next spring.

Crown John Gordon confirmed Wednesday that Carol Berner’s case is set for March 21 in the B.C. Court of Appeal.

Berner, 60, is fighting a 30-month jail term that was imposed two years ago in connection with the May 2008 death

of toddler Alexa Middelaer.

Alexa, who attended preschool in Crescent Beach, died from injuries suffered when Berner lost control of her car on a Delta street and plowed into the fouryear-old. Alexa’s aunt, Daphne Johanson, was seriously injured.

Berner’s appeal of her convictions – two counts of dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm and two counts of impaired driving causing death and bodily

harm – was heard in November 2011, and dismissed last month.

Appeal court judges found the verdicts “were ones a judge could reasonably render.”

While Berner had to surrender herself on the morning that the appeal judgment was released, she was released on bail later that afternoon. In the 4½ years since the crash, Berner has not spent any significant time behind bars.

Shooting stands out during busy month at crossings

Border guard on the mend Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Possession of prohibited weapons and an arrest warrant were among details that prevented a variety of travellers from entering Canada through the local ports recently.

Canada Border Services Agency officials released the highlights last month, outlining incidents that occurred in October.

Most significant was the Oct. 16 shooting of Border Services Officer Lori Bowcock. Bowcock was shot in the neck by a man who arrived at the Douglas crossing, shot her and then turned his weapon on himself.

Bowcock is “continuing to improve,” the release states.

The severity of other incidents highlighted pales in comparison.

On Oct. 26, a mother and her three young children were intercepted at the Pacific Highway crossing, when a U.S. guard noticed a warrant for the Canadian woman’s arrest.

The family was on a southbound Greyhound bus at the time. Guards escorted them back to Canada, where the woman was taken into custody by Surrey RCMP and the children released to a family friend.

A woman who tried to dodge Canada’s reporting requirements was arrested at the same border on Oct. 23, when guards intercepted

A records check revealed the traveller had “recent criminality” in Washington State, including possession of methamphetamines.

Returned to the U.S., she was arrested by Customs and Border Protection officers.

A total of 17 firearms and other weapons were seized in the Pacific Highway District in October, including an unloaded .357 Magnum, a 9mm pistol and two switchblades.

The latter were seized along with a centrifugal knife and four prohibited over-capacity magazines

on Oct. 28, from a U.S. couple travelling to Victoria through the Douglas border.

The .357 was found on the back seat of a northbound truck on Oct. 6. Officers also found two prohibited firearm magazines in a toolbox.

The traveller, a U.S. resident, told officers that he forgot the gun was in his truck.

The pistol and three high-capacity magazines were seized Oct. 24 at the Pacific Highway port, after a commercial truck driver was referred for examination. The driver was arrested, the truck and weapon were seized and charges were laid under the Customs Act. Released on bail, the driver returned to the U.S., St. John notes.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Website developed to help others fine-tune meals

Satisfying a hunger for a healthy lifestyle Dan Ferguson

A

Staff Reporter

new website created in memory of the late Mary Hartwell aims to help people with serious illnesses and other conditions that can make it difficult to eat.

Blendingbene.com has been engineered by Hartwell’s husband, David Hawkins, with the assistance of holistic nutritionist Marla Meneghin, for people who literally can’t stomach many kinds of food.

Hawkins says the name means “blending well.”

“Bene is the latin root word for… benefit, beneficial, benefactor.”

Hawkins explains.

During the last two years of his wife’s twoyear battle with cancer (she died Sept. 16, 2011), Hawkins says she was often nauseated by food, and the type of food that would trigger the nausea could change rapidly.

“What frustrated me was my inability to efficiently find or buy good ingredients and skillfully prepare or blend drinks so that when Mary asked for something she could get it while still in the mood,” Hawkins says in a message posted on the website.

“During her first 30 days of chemo, she threw up 90 times,” Hawkins recalls.

He says the site is intended to help friends and family of people who have the same kind of difficulty tolerating different type of foods.

The idea is that they can buy and shop from local vendors and farmer’s markets working with “local blenders” to “’tune’ the

drink to the drinker.”

Hawkins says the initial phase, building the website look and feel, is complete, and work is underway on developing “an online interactive recipe builder” that, among other things, makes use of vendors from local farmers markets.

He plans to to build an app that would make it easy for people to funnel recipe ideas into the site.

“I’m modeling this on the Facebook idea, so that people can use it for free and there’s advertising later on,” Hawkins says.

The idea is to use profits from the site to help fund the Mary Hartwell Memorial Scholarship for nutritionists.

Hartwell was and Hawkins is a director of White Rock Farmers’ Market, society which is a co-sponsor of the scholarship.

Once www. blendingbene. com is completed, Hawkins says people will be able to use the File photo website to create nutritional drinks and smoothies for someone battling cancer, or morning sickness, or any other medical condition that makes maintaining nutrition a challenge.

Recipes can be adjusted for thirst, taste and texture to make them palatable to match specific symptoms.

Meneghin has been working with Hawkins to develop the website.

“It’s very exciting,” Meneghin says, describing Hawkins’ vision for the site as “amazing.”

“It’s from the heart.”

Meneghin hosts an online program for the site, the Blending Bene Nutrition Show at www. truthcentralradio.com

Peninsula residents awarded Diamond Jubilee medals

Four honoured by Queen Frank Bucholtz Black Press

Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg presented Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medals to four prominent Semiahmoo Peninsula residents last Wednesday in White Rock.

The recipients have been involved in a wide range of activities locally, provincially and nationally.

Recipients were Jim Scott; Laurae McNally; Ellen Kennett and Marlet Magnusson.

Scott is funder of Equitas Disabled Soldiers Funding Society, which helps veterans wounded in Afghanistan with funding and support to press the federal government for better treatment for veterans.

Many of the veterans it has helped lost limbs in the Afghanistan conflict.

He has also volunteered with Air Cadets, is a Rotarian and has been an organizer with Tabitha Canada.

Laurae McNally is the longtime chair of the Surrey Board of Education, and has served as a trustee for 29 years. She has been on the B.C. School Trustees Association executive and was named a life member of the association nine years ago.

She supports school activities at all levels and champions public education at every opportunity. She represents White Rock on the board.

Ellen Kennett is bestknown for her ongoing volunteer work with Peace Arch Hospital and the Peninsula Arts Foundation, but has volunteered her time with many organizations, including

Marylou Kirstein to sell sun catchers to benefit Peace Arch Hospital

Catching idea for charity An eye-catching effort to raise money for the Peace Arch Hospital – the sale of sun catchers made from chandelier crystals – is returning to the facility’s lobby today (Tuesday) and Friday.

And this year, it’s got an international sparkle.

“I got four from Portugal… from a monk that was selling crystals in a market,” explained Marylou Kirstein, a longtime member of the Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary. “One’s yellow – you don’t ever find a yellow crystal.

“The rainbows that come off them are unbelievable.”

Kirstein is in her fourth year of selling the baubles for the hospital’s benefit. She crafts the majority of them from crystals salvaged from discarded light fixtures – many of which are turned in to the auxiliary’s Superfluity thrift shop – adding glass or wooden beads, Swarovski crystals and other trinkets for a special touch.

No two sun catchers are alike, and Kirstein does her best to create a variety in the hopes there will be something for everyone.

“Some are gawdy, and some are conservative; some are funky and some are not,” she said.

In past years, those who buy the pieces typically do so as a gift, Kirstein said. She knows some have gone to care homes, pur-

Chill out with reading club Surrey Public Library is encouraging families to curl up with a few good books in the months ahead for a chance at one of nine $50 gift cards to Guildford Town Centre.

Participants in the Winter Reading Club may pick up a reading log from any of the SPL branches – including

South Surrey and Ocean Park, and can track their reading time on the “read-ometer” by marking one degree for each day. Those logging 14 days or more will be entered into a draw for a Kobo e-Reader.

Deadline to enter the giftcard contest is Dec. 31.

“They add joy,” she said. “And it’s a little bit of history because most of these (crystals) are old.”

In the last three years, sale of the sun catchers has raised about $4,000 for the hospital, with more than half of the total – $2,200 – raised last year alone.

“There were lineups of people.

It was amazing,” Kirstein said of the interest.

She is hopeful the 160 of the

keepsakes that she made over the summer will draw similar interest this week, and pledged to continue crafting the sparkly pieces “as long as the market is there.”

“All I want to do is just make money for the hospital,” she said.

The sale is set for just three hours – from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

– on Dec. 11 and 14, and prices range from $8 to $35. All proceeds will benefit PAH. - Tracy Holmes

De Wit took over the helm of the GVHBA from longtime president Peter Simpson on Nov. 1.

New calendar Tourism White Rock’s newest calendar features “all White Rock moments at their finest.”

Showcased to White Rock council by TWR executive director

Betina Albornoz last month, it is more than a collection of seaside vistas captured by local residents, Albornoz said.

Seaside Scenes – White Rock Moments at Their Finest is also a connection to a community that promotes arts, culture and the city itself as a year-round destination.

“It allows us to engage with local residents,” Albornoz said.

In its fourth year of highlighting White Rock, the calendar also helps drive traffic to www.inwhiterock. com and continues to promote the city’s brand, Albornoz said.

The project is hoped to expand to include greeting cards, she said.

Contributors whose works are featured in the calendar are Tim Shields, Marilyn Trenchard, Joy Gerow, Derek Hayes, Adrian Burden, Danielle Holland, Darlene Bellamy Seatter, Stacey Kons, Ellen Atkin, Hugh Zhao, Nattawot Juttiwattananon and Wilma Maki.

At $10 each plus tax, the calendars are available by calling 604536-4951, or at retail outlets throughout the city.

Royal City Youth Ballet Company Society proudly presents, for the 24th season, the full length ballet, the Nutcracker.

Award-winning teacher takes her classes to the next level

The world is her classroom There are no walls in Laura Hackett’s classroom.

An art teacher at Enver Creek Secondary, Hackett believes creative art is everywhere, and the BC Art Teachers’ Association, which named her this year’s recipient of the Graduation Award for Excellence in Art Education, agrees.

“Your contributions toward fostering a creative, inclusive dynamic in the classroom in addition to offering students opportunities to become involved in the culture of their community through collaborative projects with the Surrey Museum and Surrey Art Gallery are commendable,” writes BCATA co-presidents Regan Rasmussen and Eileen Ryan in a letter to Hackett about her award.

Hackett has been in the district for 12 years, first at Semiahmoo Secondary and for the last 11 years at Enver Creek, where she teaches visual arts, photography design, media and yearbook.

But Hackett’s lessons often take place beyond the classroom. A photography project in collaboration with the Surrey Art Gallery to chronicle the gentrification of Whalley exposed students to the challenges and beauty of a neighbourhood in transition, which they documented in photographs that later became part

Laura Hackett (middle) was honoured this year for her work. of a postcard exhibit at the gallery.

“When I began teaching, I wanted to be an active participant in art education outside the classroom,” says Hackett.

As an advocate of the arts and creative expression, Hackett sees their value in almost any endeavour.

“Art is facilitated in the creative process,” Hackett explains.

“When you cultivate the imagination, it leads to original ideas and that’s what I seek to do with my students. The process of creativity is as important as the final product.”

She adds, “Everybody has the potential to be creative and that can manifest itself in every discipline, whether you’re a scientist, a writer, a business marketer or an engineer. We have to think beyond the notion that we’re just decorating the world. We have to think about how ideas change the world and make it a safer and more exciting place to be.”

In her letter from the BCATA, Hackett was also recognized for the leadership she demonstrated in the association and the contributions she made on the planning committees for two BCATA conferences.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Holiday market

Dave Baron’s script is a new adaptation of the classic tale by Carlo Collodi, incorporating some original and intriguing elements that have been filtered out in successively de-natured versions.

Pinocchio (Michelle Gaetz) – a puppet brought to life who wants to become a real boy – must battle the evil Puppet Master and his minions Fox (Jennifer Tiles) and Cat (Elyse Raible), survive being swallowed by a whale, rescue his beloved Isabella (Melissa Paras), and even put up with Isabella’s overbearing aunt, Miss Ann Thrope (Bryce Paul Mills).

Expect all of the the over-thetop humour, music and general nonsense the White Rock pantomime has been noted for over six decades, under the capable direction of Susanne de Pencier, with musical direction by Kerry O’ Donovan, choreography by Lena Dabrusin, set design by Andrea Olund and costumes by Heather Maximea.

COAST CAPITAL PLAYHOUSE 1532 Johnston Rd., White Rock

24 www.peacearchnews.com — Advertorial — Flip to the home and garden channel right now and you're more than likely to land right on a program all about de-cluttering your life. It can be time-consuming, frustrating and sometimes dirty, but the reward is the resulting peace of mind... right?

Fortunately there's one spot in your house where de-cluttering can result in much more than just a state of mind...

It's your jewellery box. It might be your top drawer, a container in your bathroom or an ornate little cabinet on your dresser. Open it up. Maybe you have each item carefully polished and sorted, waiting for your next cocktail party or dinner outgood for you! Otherwise, there's a good chance you might be gazing into what looks like a bad episode of "Hoarders": Broken chains littered at the bottom, tangled with single earrings and fashion rings from the '80's. Maybe you'll see that pair of earrings that you can't wear anymore because the metal drives your skin crazy.

Perhaps you'll spot a heart-shaped pendant from a past boyfriend, or the engagement ring from your first marriage.

Everyone's jewellery box is different and cleaning it out can often be a very profitable process. Once you've decided which pieces you want to let go of, you'll need to determine how you want to sell them. This first requires an understanding of two basic rules to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Rule number 1: Never expect to get back what you paid! When you purchase a piece at a jewellery store you are buying a brand new item in the retail market. When you buy these items you are paying top dollar for new, un-worked precious metals, new stones, craftsmanship, and retail mark-up. Much like buying a new car off the lot, as soon as you walk out of that store, the value of your item has changed.

Advertising Feature

Rule number 2: Never expect to get the amount your piece is appraised at!

When an item is appraised, the value on the appraisal is a replacement value. This value is very important for insurance purposes as it reflects the cost to have that piece re-made or re-purchased. It is not the second-hand or pre-owned value.

Profitable De-cluttering

How to make the most of your old jewellery in White Rock

While you can never expect to sell your item for retail or appraisal value, you can make sure you are maximizing your personal gain by approaching the correct secondhand market.

There are four different avenues you can take depending on the quality and condition of your jewellery at the time of sale. It is up to the seller to decide which avenue best suits their needs and to create a realistic expectation of what type of return they are looking for.

Private Sale: The option of selling your pieces privately exists, however this avenue leaves yourself open to the highest amount of personal risk.

This method is not recommend for selling valuable personal items.

Consignment: There are plenty of consignment options around via estate sales and antique dealers. This may be a good option for items in excellent condition. Having your valuables on display in a secure storefront eliminates the risk to your personal safety and allows for a wider audience to view your piece while shopping. However, consignment stores can take a hefty commission off the final sale and some items may take a very long time (months or even years) to sell.

Auction: This option is again suitable for items in excellent condition. The benefit of selling at an auction is that you are able to set a minimum bid so that you have control over what your piece sells for, plus there is the chance that, with the right set of bidders, your piece could go for more. However, this process can be costly after fees

Clearing the clutter from your jewellery box can be a profitable endeavor if you approach the secondhand market with realistic expectations.

and comissions, even if the item remains unsold.

Gold Recycling Program: Gold recycling is becoming an increasingly popular decision due to the skyrocketing market values of gold. The condition of your piece is not taken into consideration as this service is only looking at refining the scrap gold in the piece, therefore the expected price may be lower than the other markets mentioned above.

However, there is no wait time for a final sale, the condition of the piece does not matter, and you can have all of your stones removed before recycling your items (which is often the most valuable part of the jewellery) to be used in a new piece down the road.

While the Metro Vancouver region has several resources for the auction or condition, for most people, a

trustworthy gold recycling program is usually the most profitable option.

Fortunately for us, The Gold Recyclers, one of Canada's most trusted gold buyers, will be hosting a 5 day gold buying-event this week at White Rock’s Ocean Promenade Hotel.

Those hoping to purge their jewellery boxes of unwanted gold or silver jewellery are encouraged to bring their items down to the Ocean Promenade on 15611 Marine Drive this Thursday through Monday (December 13th-17th), where the Gold Recyclers will be purchasing gold, silver and platinum at their kiosk located in the Conference Room. Their convenient service offers customers top prices, free stone removal (when available), and on-the-spot payment. No appointments are necessary.

If you're unsure of the best way to sell your items, the Gold Recyclers'

professional and experienced staff will also sort through each piece to help you determine which of the four second-hand markets will best suit your needs. "We are very honest and upfront when it comes to giving our customers the best advice we can regarding their specific pieces," says Elli Reilander, kiosk manager for The Gold Recyclers. "Because each of our staff are trained by a professional goldsmith and jeweller, they can easily spot a piece in someone's collection that may be worth more when sold in an auction or on consignment."

So, if your jewellery box is beginning to remind you of last night's "Hoarders" episode, why not de-clutter? If it doesn't bring you peace of mind, at least you'll be able to buy your way to serenity!

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Greg Sakaki photo

Surrey Eagles forward Demico Hannoun and Nanaimo Clippers’ captain Trevor Fitzgerald fight for a loose puck during Sunday’s game at Nanaimo’s Frank Crane Arena.

BC Hockey League team loses two straight for first time all season

Eagles’ wings clipped on Island trip Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

For the first time all season, the Surrey Eagles are losers of two consecutive games.

The Birds, who still sit in a second-place tie in the BC Hockey League’s Mainland Division, dropped both games of a Vancouver Island road trip on the weekend, losing 2-1 to the Victoria Grizzlies on Saturday night, before falling 5-2 to the Nanaimo Clippers less than 24 hours later on Sunday afternoon.

Saturday in Victoria, the Eagles were stung

by Grizzlies’ Fitzgerald triplets – Leo, Myles and Gerry – who combined for five points in the victory.

Gerry Fitzgerald scored both goals from the home team, including the winning goal,

which came on the power play – Surrey had been whistled for a too-many-men penalty – at the 8:31 mark of the third period.

Fitzgerald opened the scoring 3:22 into the first period, and the Victoria lead lasted until near the end of the second period, when Surrey forward Brady Shaw scored his teamleading 17th goal of the season when his slapshot from the right circle beat Victoria netminder Michael Stiliadis. Drew Best and Dan O’Keefe drew assists on the play.

Glenn Ferguson got the start in net for Surrey, stopping 35 of 37 shots on net.

The following afternoon, the Eagles – who had won four straight and nine of 11 heading into the weekend – lost a rare second in a row Sunday, as the hometown Clippers got goals

from five different players en route to the win.

Demico Hannoun gave Surrey an early lead – his shot from the wing beat Nanaimo goalie Jayson Argue 38 seconds into the first period – but the Clips tied the game 10 minutes later on a goal from Michael Fretz.

Nanaimo scored twice more in the second period, while Surrey managed to bulge the twine just once more, when Trevor Cameron scored his sixth goal of the year early in the third.

With the score 3-2, Nanaimo put the game out of reach when Kyle Kramer and Michael McNicholas scored 34 seconds apart midway through the period.

Surrey was not without chances to come back, however.

The Peninsula squad had three breakaways in the final period, but Argue stopped all three.

“It was sloppier than we wanted it to be, that’s for sure,” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach.

“But it was entertaining… We needed a win, and scoring some goals was nice.”

Their Island road swing behind them, the Eagles now settle in for a three-game home stand, with two games coming before the Christmas break.

On Friday, the Eagles host the Powell River Kings, and Sunday afternoon will face the Prince George Spruce Kings at South Surrey Arena.

U16 victory Bayside’s U16 boys rugby team finished the season on a strong note last month, defeating Capilano 27-0 in the U16 championship game at North Vancouver’s Klahanie Park.

Capilano started the game strong, and pressured the Sharks in the early stages of the game, but the Bayside defenders – led by Nick Adams and Kevin Elward –

held the Caps at bay.

Bayside’s Rob Joyce scored the team’s lone first-half try, before the South Surrey team pulled away in the second half, scoring four more tries.

The Sharks’ U16 B team also won in the consolation final, defeating a bigger Meralomas side 31-7, led by Spencer Nicol’s two tries and Ryan Ell, who had a handful of conversions.

“Kendra brings a wealth of talent and potential to the Clan,” said SFU head coach Mike

Renney of the left-hand hitting outfielder. “She comes from a quality program that will have no doubt prepared her for the challenges that university ball will bring.”

Last season was an eventful one for Goodman, capturing second place at the 18-and-under Canadian championships, and finishing third at the provincial championships.

“Next year I just want to contribute. No matter what is asked of me I need to seize the opportunity and make the most of it,” said Goodman.

“I understand that not many athletes get the chance I have.

I am really looking forward to taking my game to the next level under coach Renney.”

Kelowna native takes over vacant ‘C’

Eagles name Mulcahy captain The Surrey Eagles named third-year forward Brett Mulcahy the team’s new captain last week, filling a vacancy that has existed since the team dealt former captain Brandon Morley to the Coquitlam Express in October.

Mulcahy has worn the ‘C’ for the past two weekends.

Mulcahy, a 19-year-old Kelowna native, has posted seven goals and 22 points in 28 games this season, his third in the BCHL and second in Surrey; he spent his rookie season with the Westside Warriors.

“Brett came to our program as a relatively unknown player and over the course of the last season has proven to be a true professional,” Eagles head coach and general manager Matt Erhart said in a release.

“He has been determined to get better as a player, and he has a mature approach to the game that translates from his practice habits to his game, making him an excellent leader for the Surrey Eagles Hockey Club.”

Mulcahy had been an assistant captain this season, prior to being given the captain’s ‘C’.

Also Friday, the Eagles named Devon Toews, Brady Shaw and Trevor Cameron

The Warriors, who were ranked No. 4 heading into the season, lost in the finals Saturday, 80-71 to the top-ranked Kitsilano Blue Demons, who were led by the physical presence of six-footeight inch senior Luka Zaharijevic and a a 27-point effort from

point guard Justin Sze. WRCA point guard Tyus Allen was the team’s leading scorer, with 20 points, while Vartan Tanelian and Peter Spangehl had 15 and 14, respectively, in a losing cause.

The Warriors advanced to the Telus Classic final with a 90-81 semifinal victory Friday night over Vancouver College.

Earlier in the tournament, which began Wednesday at a number of schools throughout the Lower Mainland, WRCA also earned victories over Sardis Secondary and Archbishop Carney.

SCORPIO There’s lots of action on the horizon.

You might be tempted to acquire a rather expensive item. Be careful, because your Christmas shopping could break your budget.

SAGITTARIUS You make time for some profound thinking. In fact, you feel a strong need to develop your spirituality and explore your convictions.

CAPRICORN Your health is somewhat fragile at the moment. If you have to mix with a lot of people this week, remember to take all the necessary measures in order to not catch any germs.

AQUARIUS Time is a rare commodity and you will have to choose between your various commitments and some of the activities you enjoy. It is important for you to balance all the different areas of your life.

PISCES A trip begins to take shape. Start preparing actively for it, even though it is several months in the future. This is a good time to update your travel accessories and, perhaps, renew your passport.

Personal growth, self awareness and healthy relationships can be enhanced through counselling with a skilled and caring professional. Call Sources...

OBITUARIES

Thomas James Ayres

Aged 64, passed away December 5, 2012 at Surrey Memorial Hospital, surrounded by his loving family. He put up a brief but valiant fight against a very aggressive Lymphoma. He is survived by his wife and best friend Sandra, sons Bryan (Akane) and Alan (Erin), brothers Patrick (Dale) and Garnet (Jane), mother-in-law Jessie, brother-in-law Ed (Barbara) Cheetham and his three adored grandchildren Miya, Masa, and Gavin Ayres. Tom will be missed by his many nieces, nephews, cousins and good friends. Born in Vancouver to Tom and Vi Ayres, he grew up on Saltspring, North Vancouver and then Tsawwassen. Early days meant work in one of the family's logging camps for the summer and then on the ferries through university. It was in grade 12 when he met the love of his life, Sandra. Tom graduated from Delta Secondary, received a Bachelor of Education Degree from SFU and a Master of Education Degree from UBC. Both Tom and Sandra were elementary school teachers in New Westminster and Richmond respectively. Tom later moved to Surrey, taught primary and then became the district helping teacher in Science. He was a well respected Elementary School Principal in Surrey. Tom was a true aquarian, always helping students, parents, teachers and everyone he met. He was also a man of many talents it didn't seem to matter what the task was, Tom could do it. He was an artist in both paint and metal, a welder, mechanic, house builder, and baker. He was affectionately called a "Renaissance Man" by those who knew him well. A long time resident of South Surrey, Tom and Sandra raised their two boys both at home and at their cottage on Saturna. Tom often would involve Bryan and Alan in many creative plans and projects that often ended with wonderful stories of adventure, Sandra didn't always know about. They were fortunate to retire early and spend many happy times splitting their time between home and Saturna. Involvement in the community on Saturna included contributing much time, energy and his administrative skills to the success of the Lamb Barbecue as well as to the directorship of Old Point Farm. Tom loved boating and fishing with his sons and brothers. Whether bagging a marlin in Mexico, springs off of Tofino, or delighting in teaching his young grandchildren how to fish for shiners off the dock, Tom loved the west coast. Tom had a remarkable ability to engage others, testament to many happy hours of welcomed friends, neighbours, family and more on the deck at Saturna. More than a host, a friend to so many. A celebration of Tom's life will be at an open house at the family home in South Surrey, Sunday, December 16th from 2:00 to 8:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, Tom's request was for donations to BC Cancer Foundation, Non-Hodgkins Lymphona Research.
