3 years sought for bus attacks
A ‘new normal’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Richard Morrison knew something was wrong when he looked at his hands after falling playing hockey and realized he couldn’t move them. Lying chest-down on the ice at Burnaby 8 Rinks after tripping over the goalie pads on a breakaway, Morrison remembers looking up at the goal line and then further up, to the boards. “I remember saying ‘uh oh,’” he said. “Once I saw that I couldn’t move my hands, I knew I was in trouble. “I remember it clear as day.” Morrison, 48, was rendered a quadriplegic in the April 21 fall, which sent him crashing head-first into the boards. Transported to Royal Columbian and then Vancouver General Hospital, he spent 6½ hours in surgery, five weeks in VGH’s spinal unit and 4½ months at GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre. He returned home to South Surrey on Oct. 30. Reflecting on his accident and the “new normal” that has confined him to an electric wheelchair, Morrison said it could be years before the full extent of his injuries is clear; before he knows just how much use of his limbs might return. Doctors won’t give him a formal diagnosis until a year passes, he said, because it will be at least that long before swelling of his spinal cord fully subsides. › see page 4

Steven Fayant told a psychiatrist he choked a Coast Mountain bus driver in Newton because he didn’t like the way the man was driving. And days later, he said, he stabbed a bus passenger in Aldergrove because he thought the man was laughing at him. The results of a court-ordered psychiatric interview of the 20-year-old Surrey resident was read out in Surrey Provincial Court last week during Fayant’s sentencing hearing. Fayant, a gaunt, pale man with close-cropped hair and a goatee, sat impassively in the prisoner’s docket Thursday morning, as the prosecutor and his own lawyer said both attacks were completely unprovoked and irrational. Crown counsel Angela Lee said Fayant talked his way into a free ride on both TransLink routes by pleading poverty. On Feb. 18, he got on the White Rock-bound 321 bus near 76 Avenue and King George Boulevard and told the driver he didn’t have enough for the fare. “I’m kind of hurting,” Fayant is quoted as saying. Not long afterwards, the onboard bus security video recorded Fayant lunging at the driver and grabbing him around the throat. The driver suffered a small nick to his neck, likely from a fingernail. Fayant fled the scene. On Feb. 21, Fayant stabbed a 41-year-old man in the back after both men got off a Coast Mountain bus near Aldergrove Centre Mall. The injured man suffered a lacerated kidney and was unable to work for three months. Fayant told the psychiatrist he believed that two men sitting nearby on the bus were laughing at him and were somehow connected › see page 2

‘Paranoia was off the charts’ › from page 1 to a 2010 incident where he was abducted and beaten over a drug debt. In fact, the victim had just moved to B.C. from Ontario and was talking with his brother. Neither knew Fayant. The psychiatric assessment rates Fayant as a high to high-to-moderate risk for violent behaviour, but there was “no suggestion of a serious mental disorder,” Lee said. The assessment did suggest Fayant may have been suffering from post-traumatic stress and possibly drug-induced psychosis. Fayant has pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in the stabbing and common assault in the choking incident. The Crown said given the “very serious” and unprovoked nature of the attacks, Fayant should be sentenced to three years in prison. “These are very serious assaults on strangers,” Lee said. She also asked the judge to ban Fayant from riding transit buses after he is released from prison, saying it was a request of the Coast Mountain Bus Company. Defence lawyer David Payne said his client clearly has mental-health issues but has refused to allow his lawyer to have him declared mentally incompetent for fear of being permanently committed to an institution. Payne said Fayant’s behaviour immediately after his arrest was “bizarre,” describing how his client would stand stationary in his cell for several hours at a time, just inches away from a window. “We are dealing with someone who has mental-health issues,” Payne said. After the 2010 abduction attack, Payne said Fayant’s already fragile mental condition worsened. “His paranoia was off the charts,” Payne said. The lawyer said that once the imprisoned Fayant was sent to a psychiatric facility and medicated, his condition improved. But Fayant has been returned to the general prison population and is no longer medicated, Payne said, and his condition is deteriorating. He proposed a sentence that, with credit

for time served, would see Fayant freed in about two months to undergo compulsory treatment. The hearing was attended by Fayant’s mother and father, the driver he attacked and representatives of the bus company. Fayant’s parents did not want to give their names or to be interviewed outside court, but the mother could be heard expressing concern about the fate of her son in the regular prison population. She said she would prefer to see him get treatment. “He’s still savable,” she said. The driver also declined to give his name. He told reporters that the incident has left him apprehensive, to the point where he avoids making eye contact with passengers as they board to avoid a repeat of the surprise assault he endured. “It was so shocking and so sudden,” the driver said. Judge Paul Dohm is to render his verdict on Jan. 8.

Smoked-out neighbours heeded by council
White Rock snuffs wood-burning stove Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A wood-burning stove at the centre of numerous complaints in White Rock will be removed, council has decided. Neighbours of the Prospect Avenue home where the stove is located asked the city in October for relief from its pollution, submitting a 22-name petition calling for urgent action. In a report presented to council last week, director of engineering and municipal operations Greg St. Louis recommends removal over replacing the stove with something that burns cleaner. “Staff believes this would not prevent further
nuisance complaints from the neighbours,” St. Louis writes, of installing a Environmental Protection Agency-certified or natural gas appliance in the city-owned home. In a delegation prior to the decision, Mike Campbell, who lives “80 feet” from the home in question, told council that smoke from the building is such that he and his wife have had to move their home’s air intake, and they have to keep their windows closed. He said an appeal for relief was first made in March, in the hopes of eliminating the problem before the cold weather arrived. Now, neighbours are into “the third winter of our discontent,” he said. “There’s absolutely no reason to permit
some residents to compromise the health of others,” he said. “Be a good neighbour and cut to the chase.” Campbell also asked council to consider a local bylaw that prohibits wood-burning. The option is one that St. Louis also suggested, in recommending that the city require all new wood-burning appliances be certified clean-burning. In response to a question from Coun. Helen Fathers, St. Louis confirmed wood-burning complaints are not rampant in White Rock, and Mayor Wayne Baldwin agreed the issue hasn’t been pronounced. “Quite frankly, I haven’t heard of any, other than what came up through this process and
one other gentleman who wrote a letter,” he said. The issue, however, is not unique to White Rock, St. Louis said, noting Metro Vancouver has been dealing with it “for years,” and is currently working with Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Health authorities to analyze health effects. The study is expected complete next year, and St. Louis recommended council direct staff to review the findings at that time. Council gave unanimous support to all of St. Louis’s recommendations. The stove was to be removed within 30 days, at an estimated cost of $300. Peace Arch News was unable to contact the resident using the wood-burning stove.
Son sees mom shot
Possible link in shootings Kevin Diakiw Black Press
A woman is recovering after being shot in front of her young son in Newton early Friday morning. Police are now investigating the possibility that the shooting could be linked to a man who shot himself in his van at 24 Avenue and King George Boulevard shortly after. According to a statement issued by the Independent Investigations Office – the police oversight office that launched in the fall to take over investigations of incidents involving police that result in serious injury or death – police were conducting a traffic stop near the South Surrey intersection just before 1 a.m. when what sounded like a gunshot was heard. Officers then found the driver suffering “from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gun-shot injury,” the news release states. Transported to hospital, the driver was in critical condition as of Peace Arch News’ early press deadline Friday morning. IIO spokesperson Kellie Kilpatrick confirmed the RCMP remained responsible for “the concurrent investigation into the actions of the driver,” and that the RCMP investigation relates to “shots fired in the Newton area.” Just after midnight, Surrey RCMP were called to a report of shots fired at 127 Street and 63 Avenue. They arrived to find a 35-yearold Surrey woman who had been shot in the hand and shoulder outside her home. The shooter fled in a vehicle. Mounties are investigating the possibility that it may have been a domestic shooting and whether the assailant was lying in wait. The woman suffered non-life threatening injuries, and her 10-year-old son is shaken up, but otherwise physically unharmed. – with files from Tracy Holmes

Integrated system of policing needs improvement, Watts says
Few mayors call for regional force Jeff Nagel Black Press
Some Metro Vancouver mayors say they’d welcome reform of regional police services but few are endorsing the idea of fully switching to a regional force from the current patchwork of municipal police and RCMP detachments. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson issued a statement supporting Missing Women Inquiry commissioner Wally Oppal’s call last week for a regional force, saying it’s “crucial” to improving public safety and policing in the region. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts, however, wants to improve the current system of integrated policing units that pool resources across the region, adding that could go as far as a regional services force, but not at the expense of independent local control. “If you solely go to a regional force, what happens is all the police are pulled out of a variety of communities to deal with an issue,” Watts said. “You’re leaving your community very scantily policed.” The problem now, she said, is some cities opt out of the integrated units – Vancouver and others don’t participate in the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team and instead pool efforts with the VPD’s homicide squad. “We need to have an overriding structure and
everybody has to participate,” Watts said. “It’s not about what uniform somebody wears. It’s a matter of the model.” Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay, whose municipal force works closely with the VPD, said he’s happy with that arrangement but would also support a bolstered system of integrated teams, while leaving local forces or detachments in charge of local community policing. One challenge is that some cities willingly charge higher taxes than others to deliver nocall-too-small policing, and mayors like Clay wonder if their cities, with a high rate of police per capita, would lose boots on the ground under a regional model. “If Port Moody becomes part of a larger Metro Vancouver regional police force, are we getting the same amount of attention we’re getting now?” he asked. Clay added he could see an amalgamated regional force if local precincts were created to preserve service levels and local autonomy – a scenario Oppal advances in his report. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson opposes regional policing, saying it would disconnect officers from local citizens. “I just do not believe regional policing with a great faceless group of people from all over the Lower Mainland will do our cities in good
stead,” Jackson said. SFU criminologist Rob Gordon, a longtime reform advocate, dismissed concerns of mayors, saying the concept is “not rocket science” and is done in many major cities. He said tinkering with the integrated units is not what Oppal intends. “The people of Metro Vancouver in particular are not being policed well,” Gordon said. “They’re not being served by this balkanized system we have.” Oppal’s report found serial killer Robert Pickton would likely have been caught sooner had a regional force been in place, avoiding some of the poor co-ordination between the VPD and RCMP in Port Coquitlam and the ensuing finger-pointing at the inquiry. He recommended the province name an independent panel of experts to begin fleshing out a proposed model for implementation. Oppal’s call is just the latest. He wrote a report recommending regional policing back in 1994 and a VPD review of the 2011 Stanley Cup riot also concluded a regional police force would have handled it better. Municipal forces police Vancouver, West Vancouver, Port Moody, New Westminster, Delta and Abbotsford, while all other municipalities in the region are served by RCMP detachments.

Holiday season brings many together
F
or a few days last week, snow and ice storms brought us all hope for a white Christmas here in the Lower Mainland. And though that hope has been dashed by recent weather forecasts – rain is expected Christmas Day – the soggy conditions haven’t dampened the spirit of the season. This is the time of year for families and friends to gather and enjoy each other’s company, even if the mittens, toques and toboggans stay packed away for now. It’s a time for children’s eyes to alight with wonder and magic. It’s a time for parties, with much laughter and fellowship, and perhaps too, a few festive cocktails (consumed responsibly, of course). The holiday is a celebration, both religious and secular. It’s also a time of year when many of us connect with our roots, whether it means traveling to visit far-flung family members not seen often enough, or blowing the dust off old holiday trinkets and traditions from generations past. That’s especially true in Canada, a nation of immigrants. For many, Christmas is an amalgam of Western traditions like turkey and colourfully wrapped presents under a decorated tree and their own cultural celebrations – a piñata hung from the ceiling, a feast of spicy sauces and flatbread or polished boots placed in the window awaiting gifts left in the night. Some, of course, don’t celebrate Christmas at all. They gather a couple of weeks later according to the Julian calendar, or for the new year, or for Eid, the festive conclusion to Ramadan. In our ever-changing world, filled with so much uncertainty, it’s these traditions that ground us and keep us connected to where we came from, who we are. They also weave the tapestry of our multicultural country. Celebrating the season and creating new traditions is part of the magic of Christmas. Here’s to a joyous one, however you celebrate. Merry Christmas!

For most of B.C.’s modern history, since World War II, we’ve had that cardcheck system in place. The question would be whether (returning to that system) is a priority for this term in government. TF: So those kinds of things will be made clear in your platform? AD: Absolutely. TF: You picked up some serious money from the business community at a fundraiser in October. Is that some kind of a record for the NDP? AD: [Laughs.] It might be a record, I don’t know. I think the business fundraiser we did at the Hotel Vancouver netted $350,000. I think what it reflects is, this year I’ve had about 230 meetings with the business community. The purpose of it has been principally to build understanding, particularly on issues of skills training. With the priority I give to skills training, I think I’m much more attuned to their concerns than the government has been. TF: I suppose that kind of success in fundraising might make it more difficult to follow through with your pledge to ban corporate and union donations. AD: I don’t think so. The BC Liberal party has a very high level of corporate donations as a percentage of its total. We’re overwhelmingly dependent on individual donations. We get support from unions, but it’s not even close to what people would think. TF: So you’ll campaign for that, as you have before? AD: Yes.

Her decision was to write a more or less censored version. Let us take a look at another book, the Bible, and the narration of Adam and Eve and their two sons, Cain and Abel. It seems that Cain murdered his brother Abel. Murder is a heinous crime. Should we now rewrite parts of the Bible also ? It is my opinion that ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas as originally written should be read to children and perhaps explain to them that in the old days, people were unaware of the dangers of smoking, or something in this vein. And on this note, merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. M. Downey, Surrey
Gun violence hits home Editor: Once more we have a gun massacre, this time in Newtown, Conn., and once more we hear calls for gun control. Well, the sad truth is gun controls won’t work, any more than the muchballyhooed “war on drugs” will work, and any loner, loser, or lunatic who wants to get his hands on a gun will do so one way or another. And let’s not kid ourselves that this is an American disease. Go to Google and look up Hungerford, England (1987), Port Arthur, Australia (1996), our own Ecole Polytechnique, Montreal (1989), Dunblane, Scotland (1996) when an entire kindergarten class was slaughtered, and, most recently, Utoya, Norway (2011). Somehow, as a society, we are going to have to de-romanticize the glory of the gun; we are going to have to convince young men – and yes, the shooters were all young men – that a gun does not make you more of a man. Until that happens, alas, there will be yet more Columbines, more Dunblanes, more Newtowns. Jim Armstrong, Surrey n With gun violence appearing to be on the increase in the U.S., America has yet to wake up to its libertarian availability of guns, including military assault weapons to anyone. Whereas in Canada, regardless of our gun registries, we have for some time restricted and even prohibited various weapons through our Criminal Code. It appears, however, that Liberal leadership candidate Marc Garneau is less than informed, especially given there is already considerable restriction – and in some cases bans – in Canada on assault-type rifles.
Canadian gun laws are far more strict than those of the U.S., as are our penalties. It would be helpful if Garneau were to target the source of gun issues, which should include psychological evaluations of potential owners and users prior to licensing, rather than worrying
about the type of weapon on the market. It’s not the machine that kills, it’s the person behind it. We allow raving nut cases to drive cars and trucks without special vetting, and there’s no ban on automobiles, which can cause far more destruction and loss
of life that an already somewhat controlled firearm, regardless of what it may look like. Let’s count the number of car owners versus guns, not to mention repeat offenders racing about on motorized weaponry, and bring our risk categories into clear context. James Cooper, Surrey

Three women – two addicts and an addictions counsellor – write of the difference a new mindset can make.
Finding hope, from the bottom up Editor: As a counsellor at WelcomeHome Addiction Recovery Academy in Surrey, each and every day I witness women striving for growth, internalizing a new way of living and utilizing every ounce of their being to conquer their old lifestyle, mindset and behaviours. These women are faced with immense struggles involving shame, guilt, resentment and abandonment. They acknowledge they are broken and ill-equipped to successfully navigate life’s challenges, but I see a heartfelt passion for change and a determination for success. Two clients wanted to share their experience with Peace Arch News readers. (Their names are withheld). Although different in appearance and personality, both share a keen awareness of who they once were and the deep desire to shed that persona to truly become the best they can be. By implementing the tools provided, they are developing into strong, inspiring, passionate advocates for other women who struggle with addiction. I can earnestly say there is no better place for individuals to obtain healing and hope from the bondage of addiction. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside the recovery journeys of these women who have committed to changing their lives. To observe the emotional, physical and psychological transformations of these participants is not work but, rather, an honour. Rikki R. Fryatt, Surrey
Reclaimed my life I’m an addict. I joined the WelcomeHome addiction recovery program a little over a year ago because my reality was complete chaos and out of control. At that time, my end in sight looked like homelessness, jail or death. What’s worse is I felt no remorse or care. It did not concern me that I put myself and others, including my family, in danger on a regular basis. I didn’t care how my behaviours affected others either, because I gave up on my life and pushed everyone who cared about me as far away as I could so I didn’t have to change. To everyone I knew, I lied, manipulated, stole, cheated on and disrespected. I hated myself. I was so resistant to face myself that I numbed my life away, being intoxicated from early morning until late at night, year after year. I was careless, I had no limits, and I did many things I
swore I never would. But that’s what addiction does. It takes you to dark places and makes them comfortable. Since I’ve come to WelcomeHome, I’m a new woman, but I’m not alone. I have friends and people who care about me, and I’m earning trust from my family back. Today, I do everything differently. I ask for help. I rely on others and have become reliable and responsible. I accept that I make mistakes, I have flaws, and I’m not a bad person. I can face my life without fear, and I’m proactive to make changes and do my best. I’ve gained self-respect, assertiveness, self-worth and the ability to choose to do the right thing in all situations. I’ve reclaimed my life and have a bright, promising future that I can do anything I set my mind to. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made, and I hope others struggling will do the same. M., White Rock
Power to succeed lies within Choices… they all add up. I was living in a fog. From the age of 13, addiction ruled my life. I gave up everything I had for my next fix, right down to my body. I rejected my family and all those who cared. I was alone, just hoping and waiting to die. In and out of foster homes, safe houses, detox and the street, I was selfish and miserable. I put my family in danger and broke their hearts without a care. I spiralled faster downward, every day. Overdoses, cold, blue-in-the-face. Hospitals, solemn promises to stop using… broken promises. There was always a glimmer of hope that there was something better out there. I was just too lazy to do the work. I am 20 now, and I am changing my life through the WelcomeHome addiction recovery program. I’ve been in other treatment centres, and nothing I tried ever worked. Here, I am held accountable to do the work for my recovery. A better life is not just handed to you. I finally feel like I am going somewhere. I am finding ways to enjoy every moment of life and be happy no matter what life throws my way. The power to succeed lies within me. I want to thank all who support my recovery and encourage others to change their life. N. Delta

Moving works yard would be ‘cost prohibitive’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
If White Rock council directs staff to look into moving the city’s works yard, the options will be explored. But the endeavour would likely be a costly one, predicted Greg St. Louis, White Rock’s director of engineering and municipal operations. “It’d be cost-prohibitive, (but) if council directs us to do so, we’ll look into it,” St. Louis told Peace Arch News.

I think we’re addressing them pretty good.” St. Louis noted his office is located at the Kiel Street site, and said he has not noticed the smell and noise that residents have cited, even in the summer. He is open to suggestions for improvement. “We are always looking at ways to improve the operation. Obviously, we want to be able to do it efficiently,” he said. “I think we do it very, very efficiently.”
Guard attacked
Charges laid in beating A 16-year-old boy has been charged in connection with the vicious beating of a 64-year-old security guard in October. Hoshiar Singh Bajwa, a Surrey resident, was patrolling a construction site just south of Pitt River middle school in Port Coquitlam on Sunday, Oct. 14 when he was assaulted by a group of unknown men at about 3:30 a.m. Bajwa sustained head injuries and needed more than 50 stitches after the beating. Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said at the time that investigators were searching the area for any surveillance footage and that it didn’t appear anything was stolen from the construction site. About two weeks later, police released photos of two jackets they believed were associated with the assault. One was a green camouflage hoodie sweatshirt with an orange logo and the other was a black zippered Adidas jacket with red and white stripes up the arms. Police are still examining the evidence and are urging anyone with information to come forward. “No matter how trivial you think it is... it could be just the bit of information we need to bring those responsible to justice.” The 16-year-old has been charged with one count of aggravated assault. He can’t be named due to provisions in the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Anyone with information is asked to call Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2012-2884.

A protest against a proposed coal-export increase is gaining steam.
Port urged to put brakes on new terminals
Health advocates back coal protest Jeff Nagel Black Press
A campaign to block a proposed increase in coal exports through Metro Vancouver has gained the backing of public-health advocates. An open letter from three groups and numerous individual health professionals calls on Port Metro Vancouver to freeze its consideration of applications for a new coal terminal at Fraser Surrey Docks and to expand an existing one at Neptune Terminals in North Vancouver pending further study. The BC Lung Association, Public Health Association of BC and Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment cited health risks from coal dust and diesel pollution from more trains rolling through the region. “You have an ethical obligation to postpone any decisions on these two coal-export proposals until you have developed a broader and more inclusive decision-making process which is capable of evaluating the cumulative regional health impacts,” the letter says.
Critics of the planned coal-terminal expansions – which would increase coal shipments through the port by 14 million tonnes per year or 35 per cent – object to the port’s ability to approve them internally, without the consent of any city or other agency. Much criticism has come from climate activists who don’t want U.S. coal to get to market in Asia. But signatories to the letter say local health impacts could be significant. They project at least three more coal train return trips through the region daily, up from six now. And they say the BNSF railway through White Rock and Delta to the proposed Fraser Surrey Docks terminal passes within a kilometre of 10 schools as well as various daycare centres and seniors’ homes. Opponents of coal exports staged a protest outside the port’s downtown Vancouver headquarters last Tuesday. Robin Silvester, president and CEO of Port Metro Vancouver, said concerns over coal dust risks are “completely legitimate questions” that will be addressed through public review.
Child-porn case returns to court in March
Date set in Bowers case It will be at least two more months before a South Surrey man who pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography learns his fate. Earlier this month, lawyers in the case of Douglas Wayne Bowers set March 13, 2013 as the date to continue the carpenter’s sentencing hearing. The court proceeding has been on hold since early September, when Bowers’ health was cited as grounds for an adjournment. Following that, further delay was triggered when Bowers – who was ordered to make weekly court appearances until a new date could be set – reported that he had to find a new lawyer. He is in court in connection with child pornography charges that were laid in September 2009, after
an investigation that began in October 2008 led police to a man they described as a “prolific distributor of child sexual abuse images and video online.” A B.C. victim was identified. In sentencing proceedings held in September, the court heard from a young woman who confirmed that her image was among those police seized from Bowers’ home during a June 2009 search. The pair had connected through Facebook, the woman told Judge Michael Hicks. Bowers initially pleaded guilty in December 2010 to possessing child pornography. Court proceedings have also been delayed since then by a retraction of that plea, followed by its reinstatement; Bowers has also changed lawyers one other time. - Tracy Holmes

Shooting of CBSA officer Lori Bowcock brings importance of firearms-training into focus
Officers taking aim at border security Greg Knill
W Black Press
hen Canada Border Services officer Lori Bowcock was shot and wounded at Douglas Crossing in October, classes at the CBSA’s training facility in Chilliwack were cut short. Continuing the scenario-based firearms training while a colleague was being airlifted from Peace Arch Park to hospital wasn’t an option, said Dan Desai, the facility’s chief of training and learning. Instead, students were sent home, counseling made available and instructors gathered in the lounge to watch newscasts. “It was like an attack on a member of our family,” explained Brian McKenna, use-offorce instructor at the Chilliwack centre. Bowcock – shot in the neck at the Peace Arch crossing by a man who then turned the gun on himself – survived the incident. But in Chilliwack, it brought home the deadly seriousness of the training that almost 50 Canada Border Service officers undergo daily at Canada Education Park. The firearms training is relatively new. It’s only been six years since the federal government allowed Canadian border guards to carry firearms – a reflection of the agency’s changing role, and the complexities of international affairs following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Since then, Canada has embarked on a program to train and equip all its officers by 2016. The Chilliwack facility is responsible for training and recertifying officers from across the province. The program consists of two key components: control defensive tactics, and firearm training. The goal of both is to diffuse potentially serious situations, while
Paramedics attend to Lori Bowcock after an October shooting. Below left, Dan Desai inside one of CBSA’s training rooms. maintaining officer safety at all times. “We have to keep ourselves safe so we can keep the public safe,” said McKenna. Training takes place in a couple of locations at Canada Education Park, which is also home to the University of the Fraser Valley, Justice Institute of B.C. and the RCMP’s Pacific Regional Training Centre. The sprawling main building houses a lecture theatre, classroom and administrative space and areas where students can practice the physically demanding techniques of

Valets offer safe ride home Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter
A new South Surrey-based business aims to provide a no-fuss ride home for people who don’t want to drink and drive. Valet On The Way claims to raise the bar for businesses that get both clients and their vehicles home by offering a higher standard of service, providing better insurance coverage than other services and by allowing people to reserve rides in advance. “What’s been happening in the industry is people just call in and hope for the best,” company president Louise Girard said. “We’re getting away from that.” Valet On The Way estimates people who want to get both themselves and their vehicles
homes safely can wait up to five hours to get a ride home for them and their car on New Years’ Eve. The company says a single call to its toll-free number will dispatch two drivers in a backup car to meet the client anywhere. The cost, according to the online estimator at the Valet On The Way website, varies with length, with $32.65 for a five-kilometre trip and $54.20 for a 20-kilometre journey. Since it launched in August, the company has been promoting its service with “Valet Girls” who are dressed like night-club hostesses and go into into local drinking establishments to pass out promotional literature. The company has ambitions to expand beyond the Lower Main-
land. A Victoria licensee just opened for business last week, and a Kelowna licensee is expected to begin operating within the next two weeks. A Valet On The Way pamphlet says the company intends to expand into other Canadian provinces and the U.S. Girard said the company does not compete with taxis, which offer a different kind of service, or with charitable groups that do not offer a year-round service. She said Operation Red Nose – the Christmas-season service that gets drivers and their cars home – has even sent overflow clients to her company.

Hard to believe that digital hearing aids only started gaining popularity at the turn-of-the-century, twelve years ago. Adding automatic features to help clean up the sound, multiple programs to help navigate different listening situations are just two advantages of digital hearing aids. Generally hearing instrument manufacturers will update their product line once a year, being careful to add the right new features that will benefit you most.
EXPERIENCING HAND PAIN?
Digital Hearing Aids gain popularity But what do you get out of it? Do the new products help you hear better or hear more? First, yes they do help you hear better and hear more! More automatic features help to improve speech clarity better than ever before. Bluetooth technology has made it easy to connect your hearing aids to your mobile phone and television. Its easier than you think to take advantage of these seemingly complicated technologies. The degree of how much they can help will depend on your individual hearing loss and lifestyle needs. Second, if you already wear a hearing aid and have owned it more than five years you may want to think about trying something new. Hearing aids are electronics.Electronics you wear on your person, in your ear. They are subjected to wax and moisture on a daily basis and as a result microphones or

Pinocchio White Rock Players Club’s 2012 pantomime, Pinocchio, runs until Dec. 29 at the Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. Panto veteran and club president 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 overthe-top 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. For tickets ($18, $16 seniors, students and Coast Capital members) and further information, call 604-536-7535, visit www.whiterockplayers.ca or email wrpctix@uniserve.com

sparkling family fun” including King’s patented brand of colourful, traditional, kid-friendly cheer-the-hero, boo-the villain adventure, with plenty of song and dance and a healthy helping of groan-worthy knockabout humour, spearheaded by obligatory panto animal Griselda the Gorilla and veteran RCTC player Alan Cedargreen as Dame Kitty Crusoe. Well-known White Rock performer Erin Coon takes the role of Robinson, with Tony DeMatteis as Cap’n Blight, Bob Wilson as First Mate Bruce, Tim Zhang as Second Mate Bruce, and Claurien Zanoria as beauteous Princess Friday. Regular admission is $23.95 plus box office charges, or $14.95 plus charges for children under 12.

New Year’s blues Blues and boogie piano wizard Kenny ‘Blues Boss’ Wayne will be on hand to usher in 2013 for the White Rock Blues Society’s third annual New Year’s Eve Blues Extravaganza, Dec. 31 at South Surrey’s Pacific Inn Resort. Featured in his band for the evening will be several headliners in their own right, including singer and upright and electric bassist Russell Jackson, guitarist Lindsay Mitchell and drummer Loren Etkin.
“We’re really looking forward to the New Year’s Eve gala,” Wayne said in a message to White Rock Blues Society supporters. “This is my A-Team.” The Spokane-born, New Orleans, San Francisco and Los Angeles-raised Wayne’s own piano playing and singing has drawn comparisons with such legendary players as Champion Jack Dupree. He’s been nominated for Junos several times (he won in 2006) and has also gleaned praise internationally for the “drive and roaring good-time attitude” of his live performances. “Just give me a piano and an audience,” he proclaims, “and everybody’s gonna have some serious fun!” The $100 ticket price includes a hot buffet including roast beef and chicken, potatoes, pasta, and many salads and desserts, plus party favours and champagne (special dietary requests can be arranged). Tickets are available online at Surrey Arts Centre, https://tickets. surrey.ca For more information, or to reserve a table, call Rod or Marg Dranfield at 604-542-6515 or 604-723-3905.

Contractor should pay, says province
Union won’t confirm Port Mann ice fell last winter Sarah Payne & Jeff Nagel Black Press
“Absolutely unacceptable.” B.C. Transportation Minister Mary Polak used that phrase repeatedly Thursday afternoon at a press conference to address the closure one day earlier of the brand new Port Mann Bridge when falling chunks of snow and ice damaged vehicles crossing the span. “Yesterday’s events on the Port Mann Bridge were absolutely unacceptable,” she told reporters. “Like everyone else, I was feeling horrified at the images people were sending in. It was absolutely shocking. “I can’t imagine what it must have felt like for those motorists going across the bridge and seeing huge pieces of ice coming down around them. It’s absolutely unacceptable.” Motorists described their nightmare on the Port Mann Wednesday afternoon as being like ice bombs falling from the sky, when giant icicles began to drop from the overhead cables and damage cars. RCMP closed the new bridge in both directions for several hours until about 6 p.m. after vehicles were hit by falling ice. Two occupants were injured and one sent to hospital. Several large clumps of ice crashed through car windshields and ICBC had received 107 vehicle damage claims as of Thursday morning. Polak and Mike Proudfoot, CEO of the Transportation Investment Corp. (TI Corp.) said it’s up to the contractor, Kiewit Flatiron, to come up with a solution – at no cost to taxpayers. “This design for the bridge contemplates measures for the accumulation of snow and ice,” he said. “Those haven’t been effective so the ball’s back in the contractor’s court to come up with a proper solution.” Said Polak: “We will be looking to the contractor to provide us not only with a long-term, permanent solution that ensures this never, ever

Nylund’s rear window was shattered by falling ice on the Port Mann Bridge. occurs again but, also, an immediate fix to the problem so that the bridge is open and indeed safe for the travelling public.” Still, they made no guarantees that weather conditions will not force another closure of the bridge. Both were grilled by reporters on what measures were in place to ensure there are no problems with accumulation of snow and ice. Proudfoot said centre pylons are designed to eliminate structural points where snow can accumulate and the cables are covered in plastic, and snow should have slid down the cables and dissipated. He also said the Port Mann “was designed by one of the most prominent experts in cable-stayed bridges. It goes through an independent check by a separate firm, which is also an internationally recognized expert in cable-stayed bridges. And the TI Corp. has engineers who review it prior to the commencement of work.” Polak was also asked about reports that workers raised concerns previously about potential problems with snow and ice, and whether an option for heated cables was presented to the province or TI

Corp. “Nothing of that nature was ever brought to the attention of the ministry and I don’t believe it was brought to the attention of TI Corp.,” she said. Earlier in the day, the main union representing workers on the Port Mann Bridge wouldn’t confirm whether its members had raised falling ice as a concern. Asked if the issue was recorded as a concern at health and safety meetings, Ironworkers Local 97 president Cecil Damery would only say: “Snow was an issue last year also.” Damery said he had to be “careful what I say” because the union works closely with bridge builder Kiewit-Flatiron. WorkSafe BC spokesperson Donna Freeman said the workplace safety authority has no reports of falling ice being a concern. NDP transportation critic Harry Bains said it would be “very troubling” if reports are true that workers had flagged the falling ice risk and the province did nothing to prevent it. But Bains argued the government should have known any-

way that snow and ice falls from other cable-stayed bridges of similar design. Bains said either a retrofit to ensure de-icing — or whatever other technology is suitable — must be performed even if it costs much more now than it would have during construction. It’s not acceptable to shut down the bridge for lengthy periods when similar conditions develop, he said, or else motorists will be scared to drive over the Port Mann in winter. If the ministry did know about the issue but chose not to find a solution, Bains wants to know if it was to cut costs. “Was this because of money or because they simply never thought about it and never did proper due diligence?” Motorists described the falling ice chunks as large — a few feet long — and cracking, and in some cases punching through, windows. “There was no way to get around it, there was no way to move – it looked like a meteor shower of snow,” said Jared Angel. His work truck sports a spider web of cracks in the windshield. “I probably got hit at least 10 times,” Angell said. “I wasn’t ner-
vous until the windshield shattered, then I started to get nervous. You’re hoping another one doesn’t hit the same spot.” He was one of at least four drivers with Port Mann ice damage who ended up in the same autobody shop in Abbotsford. James Lepp was heading east across the bridge when he realized ice was falling from the cables. “These were massive thunderous hailstones coming down,” he said. “They were a good four or five feet long, 10 inches wide, looked like they weighed 50 or 60 pounds – falling from the sky.” The ice dented his hood and took off the driver’s side mirror. Lepp’s immediate thought was that engineers made an error in designing the bridge, perhaps not considering the winter weather here. “This isn’t a rare occurrence – we get snow once in a while. If this happens every time, they have to close the bridge every time.” TI Corp. has said drivers who travelled across the bridge during that period won’t be charged tolls and the company will cover ICBC insurance deductibles for damaged vehicles.

hat Kirk Thompson accomplished in three days earlier this month was no easy feat for any young netminder. In a trio of weekend BC Hockey League home games, the Surrey native – who tends goal for the Prince George Spruce Kings – skated between the pipes at the Coliseum for each of the 180 minutes his team played, all in a three-day span. But the end result was positive. “It’s definitely a challenge. It’s not easy,” goalie said of playing three games in three nights. “But it makes it worth it when you can come out with all six points.” After posting a 3-1 triumph over the Cowichan Valley Capitals Dec. 7, Thompson recorded two more wins in a doubleheader against the Coquitlam Express over the next two days. “It was definitely a weekend to remember for me,” said Thompson, who Kirk Thompson is listed at 5-foot-11 and goalie 170 pounds. The final victory also fell on the 20-year-old former Valley West Hawk netminder’s 100th career BCHL game. Thompsons’ performance over that three-game stretch came as no surprise to his coach, Dave Dupas, who has seen the veteran goaltender lead the Kings to a second-place posting in the BCHL’s Mainland Division; heading into the Christmas break, Prince George was just four points back of first-place Chilliwack, and three ahead of the Surrey Eagles. “I thought that without him playing as well as he did, it would’ve been obviously much tougher to win those games,” Dupas said. “But he made some big saves down the stretch and turned potential losses that we were getting earlier in November into wins, so it’s exactly what we need from him.” Thompson is currently second in the league in minutes-played among goaltenders, having appeared in 30 of the Spruce Kings’ 33 games. And while all the minutes may be tiring, Thompson knows better than to complain. Becoming the clear-cut starter was his goal when he joined the Spruce Kings in 2010. Now that the top job is his, he’s hoping it’ll

Surrey native Kirk Thompson has been a busy goalie this season, seeing action in 30 of 33 games for the Prince George Spruce Kings. take him to the next level. He’s aiming at landing a NCAA Div. 1 scholarship before the season ends. Thompson doesn’t underestimate the challenges he’s faced to get here. He’s had about half a dozen goaltending partners with the Spruce Kings. “Especially in the past, I’ve just been battling, battling to get ice time. The first five of my goalie partners, at least, it’s just an ongoing battle,” he said. “Then this year I kind of established myself as the number-one goalie, so it’s been a lot nicer and I think it’s better for me when I just have to focus on winning games rather than trying to beat out the other goalie on the team.” While it’s rare to see a goalie play in fewer
games his second season, Thompson did, in fact, play less as a sophomore than as a rookie. In the 2010-11 season, a nonplayoff campaign in which the Spruce Kings struggled with consistency in goal, Thompson played in 39 games. Last season Thompson saw action in 33 contests, but played backup to Ty Swabb down the stretch. In the offseason, the Spruce Kings dealt Swabb to the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s Canmore Eagles. The move came after the Spruce Kings signed 1996-born rookie Liam McLeod, so the starting position appeared to be Thompson’s for the taking. He’s recorded 16 wins, 10 losses and one tie (16-10-1) and sports a 2.75 goals-against

average, .912 save percentage and two shutouts. Thompson earned his second shutout in front of his old hometown fans on Dec. 16, when he stopped 41 shots to lead Prince George to a 2-0 win over the Surrey Eagles at South Surrey Arena. He also defeated the Eagles at South Surrey Arena on Oct. 5, stopping 27 of 28 shots in a 4-1 win. He’s had less luck against his hometown team in Prince George, losing a pair of games to the Birds in November. On Jan. 31, he’ll get a chance to redeem himself when Surrey heads north for a game, and will return to the Semiahmoo Peninsula with his club when the Spruce Kings pay a visit on Feb. 8. - with files from Nick Greenizan

Colorado and Calgary game draws more than 4,000 fans
Lacrosse fans flock to NLL Gary Ahuja Black Press
Attendance may have been down, but the National Lacrosse League still has their sights set on returning professional lacrosse to the Lower Mainland. “I don’t know anywhere else in North America where we could have had two out-of-market teams participate in a preseason game and even draw 4,000 fans,” said league commissioner George Daniel. He was referring to the 4,112 fans who came out to the Langley Events Centre on Dec. 8 to watch the Calgary Roughnecks defeat the Colorado Mammoth 20-11 in pre-season action. The previous year saw a full house (5,200) for the Toronto Rock and the Washington Stealth. The Stealth, who play
just across the border in Everett, Wash., draw a lot of fans from the Lower Mainland, including Surrey and White Rock. The NLL has long expressed a desire to return to the Lower Mainland, which has been absent from the league since the folding of the Vancouver Ravens in 2004. There are three Canadian teams – Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto – among the nine franchises. “We are on record as saying British Columbia is a market we definitely want to be in,” Daniel said. “It is a market that ranks at or near the top of our expansion plans. “It is a market that is critical for us in terms of television and sponsorship in Canada.” The league’s average attendance is about

9,500 fans per game, which is significantly greater than the LEC’s capacity. “We are OK with smaller-sized buildings (but) the Langley building is significantly smaller,” he said. The Stealth play in the 9,000-seat Comcast Arena but in 2012 averaged just under 3,900 fans per game, the lowest in the NLL. “We have an open mind about the building. If someone can demonstrate there is a business model that can work for them, we would listen,” Daniel said. “Obviously it is a market we want to be in and we will explore and

exhaust all possibilities in order to get there.” As for referring to Langley for a third installment of a preseason game, Daniel said that is something the league would definitely like. “It gives us a real good opportunity to bring the NLL back to British Columbia, at least on an annual basis,” he said. “And (it would) keep us in the forefront of everybody’s mind as we continue to work towards bringing an expansion franchise back to the market.” The decision to host a third game in Langley would be initiated by the LEC.

Flash mob boosts ringette Gary Ahuja Black Press
Ringette has always been a huge part of Sharon Smit’s life. Involved in the sport since 1978, Smit has four daughters who play the game, a husband who officiates, and Smit herself is the owner of Streamline Ringette, which sells ringette equipment and ringette uniforms. “I wanted to find a way to help raise the awareness of the sport locally and across the country, maybe even globally,” Smit explained. “If someone is going to choose to register their child or themselves in the sport of ringette, they have to be aware that the sport exists and have some kind of idea of what it is.” So Smit hatched a plan. The idea came through a course she was taking called the Self Expression Leadership Program. The students were tasked to come up with a way to create a project which would benefit their community, so for Smit, helping the ringette community was a logical choice. “If someone is going to choose to register their child or themselves into the sport of ringette, they have to be aware

that the sport exists and have some kind of idea of what it is,” Smit said. Smit’s plan involved using a flash mob at the National Ringette League’s game between the B.C. Thunder and the Edmonton WAM! on Dec. 8 at Langley’s George Preston Recreation Centre. All of this was done to the surprise of the players and other fans in attendance. They performed a 90-second routine set to the music of the
song Gangnam Style by PSY and Beyonce’s Put A Ring On It. “I figured social media was the best way to (raise awareness) quickly and globally,” Smit said. “And with the popularity of flash mobs and how much fun they seem to be, the pieces of the puzzle just seemed to fit together.” Each of the Lower Mainland’s 10 ringette associations were on board and provided players and parents – 150 total, including nearly 18 from White Rock and Surrey – who took part. The participants, who were as young as eight and as old as 50, received the dance routine in a video link email a week prior so that they could practice their moves. The flash mob was filmed and packaged together with highlights of that night’s NRL game – which the Thunder won 7-4 – and once it’s posted online, the hope is to draw more attention to the sport and garner more registrations to play. “The measurable goal is for the YouTube video to be shared through social media across the country and around the word,” Smit said. “My goal is for at least 25,000 people to view the video over the next 12 months.”
