Full house to last more than 12 hours, if anticipated crowds address Surrey council

City set for marathon casino session Kevin Diakiw Black Press

It’s expected to be one of the busiest nights Surrey council has seen in recent memory. Staff are “guesstimating” that on Monday, Jan. 14, there will be upwards of 1,000 people packing city hall for a decision on whether to build a $100-million casino and entertainment complex on an 18-acre parcel of land at 10 Avenue and 168 Street.

Further, it’s estimated that 100 to 150 of those people will want to address council. If all take their full five-minute time limit, the casino hearing could last more than 12 hours. Mayor Dianne Watts told Black Press that out of respect for prospective speakers, she plans to carry the meeting through to the end, rather than interrupt the process and continue it on a subsequent night. It will be up to council whether to vote on the project

immediately following speakers’ comments. The public hearing – requested by BC Lottery Corporation, which is looking for a nod from Surrey council – is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. However, with five other prior items on the agenda, the Gateway Casinos application likely won’t be heard until 8 or 8:30 p.m. Registration for those wishing to address council will be open at 5:30 p.m. Speakers will line up on either side of coun-

cil chambers – which seats about 140 – with the mayor alternating comments between pro and con. Once speakers have addressed council, they will be encouraged to head to one of several viewing areas set up outside. People not wanting to speak can register opinions that evening before the meeting. The hearing will air live on Shaw and online at ww.surrey.ca/city-government/6993.aspx Ethnic focus for casino foe, page 5

With Earth framed in the ship’s window, Hadfield answered each of the questions while in orbit: “I miss them, but I get to talk with them and email them and occasionally see them on video, so it’s OK.” “Just one up-close; the Earth. Our trip doesn’t go to other planets, it circles

around the earth, like the moon does.” “Yes, because they protect me and let me go outside.” Tuesday, clutching copies of the letters they sent, the primary students waited excitedly for a CBC Radio reporter to arrive and record them reading the notes. “I’ve never been on it before. It will be fun,” Hayden Scott, 8, said of his impending radio performance that aired on Early Edition the following morning. › see page 4

An RCMP officer wants to offer a “heartfelt thank you” to several Good Samaritans who helped him detain an unco-operative teenager fighting off an arrest last Saturday. “The officer really wanted to offer a sincere thank you to these citizens, but they were gone before he could,” said RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks. A 16-year-old Surrey boy was arrested after a foot chase through downtown Langley and a scuffle on the sidewalk where community-minded citizens helped the officer complete the arrest. The young suspect was first spotted near the Greyhound bus depot at around 3 p.m. The officer recognized the suspect had an outstanding warrant for his arrest, and the chase was on. The young man ran through the Logan bus loop and even temporarily took refuge in a bus waiting to leave. Another officer spotted him there, and the young man resumed his flight all the way to Fraser Highway. The officer tackled the runner and a fight ensued, with the suspect trying to break free. Several civilians came to the aide of the officer, with at least two helping control the suspect’s hands so the officer was able to get the handcuffs secured.

‘Some confusion’ over requirements to be clarified in bylaw revisions

Bureaucratic error cuts size of setbacks Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

An error interpreting guidelines for bareland strata developments has led White Rock council to approve a subdivision in which two of nine lots have smaller setbacks than the city typically allows. The Bishop Road project was designed based on figures provided by city staff, proponents noted at a public hearing last month. “This mistake was not our mistake,” said developer Trevor Johnson. “We were given the setbacks and designed our subdivision around it.” An application to permit the reduced setbacks (3.8 metres instead of the usual 7.5m)

bylaw revisions that are expected to come to council in the coming weeks. He told Peace Arch News that as the bylaw stands now, “it’s easy to make mistakes.” “It’s ambiguous.” The error was not the city’s first in recent weeks. PAN reported in November on how a miscalculation of where natural grade begins means a commercial/residential project approved for the West Beach area will sit two feet higher than original designs showed. Council gave unanimous support to approving the Bishop Road development variance permit at the Dec. 17 meeting. The project will be White Rock’s third bare-land strata.

White Rock gets set for presentation from water supplier

More questions than answers: Fathers Alex Browne Staff Reporter

An application by Epcor for approval of an $11-12 million water-quality management project for White Rock – with costs reclaimed by an increase in water rates – has at least one resident up in arms. In a letter to the water utility, Mayor Wayne Baldwin and the office of the Deputy BC Comptroller of Water Rights – which will ultimately rule on the application – Anna Paton outlines “grave concerns” about the project’s slate of infrastructure upgrades, particularly with regard to a planned chemical building at High Street. In the letter – published by Peace Arch News Jan. 3 – Paton says she believes construction of such a plant on a small site overlooking Duprez Ravine poses a risk to the environment. While Epcor officials say “all reasonable, industry-proven precautions” to protect the area will be taken, Paton avers it would be impossible to ensure safety of the chemical building. Last week, Baldwin reserved comment on the project – and Paton’s concerns – “until we find out more information on it.” He noted Epcor will make a presentation to council on Jan. 14. “We’re certainly going to be doing our own research on it,” he said, adding that, so far, the only feedback he has received from residents

A Surrey senior who succumbed to injuries sustained in a crash with a police vehicle Dec. 27 is being remembered as a man who “made a difference to those he met.” Donald Allan Murray, 72, was identified Tuesday by the BC Coroners Service as the driver who was taken to Peace Arch Hospital after his sedan collided with an unmarked car at 56 Avenue and 184 Street around 2 p.m. He died Dec. 31. “Regardless of rank, Don was a people person and demonstrated kindness without effort,” reads an announcement of Murray’s death on the Cloverdale Legion’s website. Murray, a former longtime employee with Canada Border Services Agency, was an associate member of Branch 6 for 31 years. “He went out of his way to make others feel appreciated and significant, whether searching for a special toy to brighten a child’s day or random acts of kindness.” Online condolences posted from as far away as Yuma, Ariz., describe Murray as a friend and mentor who had a great sense of humour and a twinkle in his eye. “You will never be forgotten and when your name comes up it will be with respect, admiration and love,” writes Christina Lake resident Ken Gresly-Jones. One writer describes her time with Murray before he was taken to PAH’s intensive care unit. “You are so strong and brave,” writes Grace Xie. “Even through the tough time, you were still smiling, talking and encouraging me. “I am forever grateful for you to be in my life.” Murray is survived by his wife, Adrienne, two children and two grandchildren. A celebration of life was held Monday in Vancouver. Circumstances of the crash continue to be investigated by the coroners service, RCMP Traffic Services and the Independent Investigations Office.

He launched Dec. 19 and at the ISS, will oversee operations as 1st Canadian Commander (as of March), carry out scientific experiments and operate Canadarm2 and perform robotics tasks. Hadfield’s responses to the children – received Dec. 22 –were like early Christmas presents, sent from space. “It was fun and cool that he answered,” agreed brothers William and Jacob Denman, 6 and 8, respectively. Connecting with Hadfield was made possible through a friend of Logan-Estey’s, Mac Heuser, who attended Royal Military College in Kingston, Ont. with the astronaut and acted as messenger for the questions and answers. “They are all pilots. That was the connection. We were so lucky that he was able to answer it. The students were very excited,” Logan-Estey said. And while the idea of flying through space – described as “like magic, like a superpower” by Hadfield – was alluring to

The end of the Kyoto protocol

he new year brought in one long-overdue change — the end of the Kyoto Protocol. Canada signed the climate change initiative back in 2002, when Jean Chrétien was still prime minister. It called for a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions — six per cent below 1990 levels by 2012. Not surprisingly, that didn’t happen. In fact, overall world carbon emissions are up by 58 per cent over those of 1990. Is there a need to keep the growth of carbon emissions to more reasonable levels? Of course. There is considerable proof of at least some global warming, although many skeptics say that the science has been corrupted by political activism. No one can deny, though, that both the Arctic and Antarctic ice caps are shrinking and the waters close to the Poles are open for far longer periods than ever recorded before. It’s simply good behaviour to cut back on carbon emissions as much as possible, if for no other reason than to conserve precious fossil fuel resources and actively promote alternatives that do not emit nearly as much carbon. Nonetheless, Kyoto was never a viable option. The biggest polluters in the world refused to sign it or even abide by its most modest aims. Its call for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions was unrealistic, unless the developed world was to go into a self-induced depression. As it is, most of the developed world has been in a serious recession for the past four years and emission levels are still rising. The B.C. government was late in jumping on the Kyoto bandwagon, with a carbon tax, carbon-credit purchases by government bodies and promotion of alternative fuels. While the latter makes some sense, the first two do not. The carbon tax is simply a cash cow for the province that we will never get rid of. It has not changed behaviour but, like the property purchase tax, it handsomely lines government pockets. The carbon-credit program involves taxpayers subsidizing private companies for capital projects that they would likely undertake anyway. It is ridiculous to demand that schools and hospitals be carbon neutral when the tax dollars spent to do so go to the private sector. The federal and provincial governments need to have realistic programs to reduce emissions, and not buy into climate propaganda.

platitudes directed to the fans will be enough. The anger always fades. Case in point: a CTV.ca story this week in which upset fans – angry enough to vent to national press – vowed to boycott the first 10 games of the upcoming 48-game season. Ten games. That’ll teach ‘em. This isn’t to suggest fans shouldn’t come back if they so desire, nor should they necessarily feel like schmucks if they do. Fans are fans, unabashed, and after being without the game they love for months, who is to say they should punish themselves further with a boycott? For the sake of proving some greater point which, in all likelihood, will go ignored? Puh-lease. This is the part where I admit that I’ll be back, too. It’s a delicate balancing act, juggling fandom with feelings of betrayal, and it isn’t something I necessarily feel great about it – like a parent rewarding a child’s bad behavior – but on Jan. 19, when the games begin, I’ll be there in front of the TV. Will I buy tickets and jerseys and spend my hard earned money to support my favourite team? Maybe not. But I won’t be boxing up a basement full of memorabilia and tossing my Henrik Sedin jersey into a box to send to goodwill, either. I’ll watch. I’ll cheer. Coaches will be second-guessed, failed power-plays will be loudly panned, beers will be consumed. High-fives will be plentiful. I will be, for better or worse, a fan once more. Fooled again, indeed.

Wasteful way to treat trash

Odds should be against casino

Editor: Re: Moving works yard would be ‘cost prohibitive,’ Dec. 25. White Rock’s director of engineering and municipal operations states he hears what we are saying, however, it is obvious he needs to read our letters again to understand what we are asking for. It is quite simple: “No garbage of any kind should be handled at the City of White Rock’s works yard!” Although we support recycling, we believe it does not belong in a residential neighbourhood, especially in a city of this size. Ever since the recycling program has been in place, the disruption to the neighbourhood has become an issue with local residents. Unknown to most, the garbage picked up from our homes is handled an inordinate amount of times before finally being taken to be disposed of. This is how many times the organic waste – kitchen scraps – is handled: 1. Picked up in a garbage truck 2. Unloaded into bins in works yard, left overnight 3. Crushed by backhoe or compactor 4. Moved by contractor across yard, often left overnight 5. Eventually full bin is picked up 6. Dumped at final transfer station This is not what we consider to be very efficient, contrary to Greg St. Louis’s opinion. We feel that by having garbage picked up and taken directly to the final transfer station – handled two times, not six – the city would save a considerable amount of time and money. This would truly be very efficient! We were taken aback to hear the director of municipal operations state what we are asking for would be cost prohibitive. Our understanding from council was that a report was being prepared by the finance and audit committee because this is a complex issue, before being considered by council. After only five months at this job, St. Louis appears to be treating long-term residents who have brought these problems forward with disregard, as though problems do not exist or have been dealt with. As we have stated in our letters to council, once the garbage is removed from this residential area, the disruption by the works yard will diminish. There will be fewer trucks moving garbage from one end of the works yard to the other, less noise and smells from diesel engines, plus, with no garbage, the vermin will have no daily feast and would move on to easier pickings. The city has a beautiful ecofriendly, million-dollar-plus, operations office building that we know will not be moved. We ask that the mayor and council consider using some of the area not used for garbage transfer – once it is moved out of the works yard – to be made into a park. White Rock’s firefighters are looking for a place to make one and have been fundraising to create a park. It would be a much better use for such a valuable piece of property. Diane & Dave Bradley, White Rock

Editor: Re: Biz groups host pro-casino ‘united front,’ Dec. 4. I was perplexed on reading that executive directors Cliff Annable, Anita Huberman and Bill Reid, representing their respective business groups, would support a casino complex. To people reading this, one would think they received huge support from most of their members. Is this really true? I have heard that these organizations represent only a small number of businesses in the region most affected by a proposed casino. I understand that when Annable’s South Surrey and White Rock Chamber of Commerce came out in support of a casino, there were fewer than a dozen businesses represented at that meeting. This would suggest they do not speak for the vast majority of businesses in this area. Could this be somewhat true of Huberman’s Surrey Board of Trade and Reid’s Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce? Do these last two even have a say in what is to be done in South Surrey?

Regardless of what studies have been done, arguments for and against, common sense should prevail. There will be an increase in crime and addiction. There will be a huge increase in noise pollution. There will be immediate property devaluation for those nearby. There will be destruction to the animals and flora. There will be disruption to our services during construction. The whole idea of a rural setting will vanish. To what extent, no one can really predict. I am no expert, but common sense tells me this is definitely not the site for a huge complex of this nature. John Wilcock, Surrey n An open letter to Surrey council. Listen up, Surrey councillors. Make no mistake – the opposition to the proposed Gateway casino runs a hell of a lot deeper than anyone has guessed thus far. As part of a survey organized by the South Surrey Ratepayers Association, I was asked to canvass the neighbourhood as to whether or not they supported the proposal. The results surprised me. Of the 12 households, only one was in favour, 10 were against and one had no opinion. Wow! This should be a signal for the

councillors to conduct their own surveys in the coffee shops and malls in South Surrey. The message I was hearing was that the casino was being regarded as a socio-economic parasite that would feed on all those who would enters its portals. A few folks asked me when the next civic elections are to take place. Jim Cosford, Surrey

Open books for MPs, too Editor: Re: Private member’s bill to head to Senate, Dec. 18. South Surrey-White RockCloverdale MP Russ Hiebert considers tax-deducted dollars to live in the public realm and as such, relevant information should be available to us all. Does this mean he will be making available to Canadian voters all of his personal tax deductions this year? What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. I think this Christmas goose is overdone.

Community events like White Rock’s Polar Bear Swim should be free from passing trains, writes Susan Potzold.

Trains should take a break for us

Editor: White Rock, January 1, 2013 – a wonderful sunny day to welcome the New Year to our magical seaside town. About 11 a.m., a group of 40 hardy souls were getting ready to start their paddleboard race around the course to the west of the pier. And half an hour later, a much larger group of “polar bear” swimmers were gathering to run into the waters near the iconic white rock just east of the pier. A more perfect day one could not expect. Paddleboard organizers explained that safety was the main issue, and if you were near a fallen boarder to not to hesitate to stop for a rescue, since everyone was going to get a prize just for participating. As one of the thousands of onlookers, I enjoyed the beauty of Semiahmoo Bay – the fresh air, the peaceful camaraderie and the unparalleled vision of the paddleboarders as they started to stretch out along the horizon on their way to the pier. Then it happened! Like an inconsiderate house guest, the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe railway company bullied its way in front of us. Hiding the magical view of the paddleboarders, assaulting our ears with its clatter and spewing who knows what toxins into our lungs and eyes and clothing.

Talk about raining on our parade! Now instead of feeling that great wonder and peacefulness, I felt anger and lots of it. How dare they? Time and again this happens. One hundred and thirty or so of these rail cars clattering along OUR beach. It is the same when we have our summer festivals, and great musical acts are performing, and everything has to come to a standstill for this rude American train which has no consideration for anyone else. Would it kill their bottom line to delay their trains for a few hours a few times a year? Doesn’t it make more sense not to run the trains when thousands of people are walking along the beach and racing to beat the train across the tracks. No, I guess BNSF is used to being just an inconsiderate bully. That’s what I think of it the many times it wakes me in the middle of the night – 3:19, 4:05, 4:19… – blasting its whistle when there is supposed to be a curfew till 6 a.m. I really am in favor of the “E” word – expropriation – guess we have to talk to Stephen Harper about that... In the meantime, is it possible to ask the City of White Rock to negotiate a speck of consideration from the railway asking that they hold the trains off our “waterfront playground” during these festivals?

In finding Panghali guilty, Justice Heather Holmes said the evidence, while perhaps circumstantial, showed beyond a reasonable doubt that Mukhtiar killed Manjit. Holmes had “no doubt” it was Mukhtiar seen on gas station surveillance video buying a lighter and newspaper on the night Manjit disappeared and pointed to the fact the killer used her cellphone for months after her death, despite claiming he hadn’t seen her after she left for a prenatal yoga class in Cloverdale on Oct. 18, 2006. Holmes also denied that the charge be downgraded, saying that although Manjit’s strangulation may have been brief, it was extremely forceful.

Surrey shooter dies from injuries Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A man who shot himself in his car near a South Surrey intersection early Dec. 21 died from his injuries. Owen Court, a spokesperson for the Independent Investigations Office, confirmed Friday that the man succumbed on the same day of the shooting, which occurred just before 1 a.m. during a police

traffic stop near 24 Avenue and King George Boulevard. Taken to hospital in critical condition, the victim died at about 3 p.m., Court said. A related investigation by Surrey RCMP is ongoing, in connection with a shooting that occurred in Newton less than an hour before the South Surrey incident. Police responding to a report of shots fired near 127 Street and

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Volunteers work to educate and communicate with Balinese children

Duo bringing more than just hearing aid Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter

tepping into the Bali classroom, hearing instrument specialist Vikki MacKay expected to hear the usual sounds of schoolchildren laughing and playing. But as she opened the door, all she heard was silence. It is a peculiar experience to walk into a full classroom and hear almost no sound, but it is one she has experienced elsewhere working with deaf children in Third World countries. “It was the first school we started working in while in Bali and it was a very large school, but it was so quiet. There was very little sound,” MacKay said. “Now, seven to eight years later, I go to that same school and the children have had access to hearing aids and services and they are so loud. They still don’t talk, but they were yelling and laughing. That’s a picture of the interaction that can happen when we hear each other. You don’t have to talk to be a part of the hearing world.” MacKay, who has a background in pediatrics, began her work overseas nearly 20 years ago when she was recruited by Rotary International. Since then, she has helped children in places like Zimbabwe, Uganda, and most recently, Indonesia. Her passion was what struck Richard Zeeman, owner of Destination Hearing in White Rock, to join the cause three years ago. After the two met at a trade show, Zeeman offered up his expertise repairing hearing aids and creating ear moulds. Shortly after, he travelled to Bali and began working with the children and young adults who attend the schools. “The work Richard does is invaluable to us. We have developed a clinic that can repair hearing aids and make ear moulds for children which is what we needed,” MacKay said. “Now, we

Now, we’re not only able to repair but we can teach

staff how to make moulds.” Currently, the two are collecting funds and hearing aids – in any condition – for MacKay to take to her next trip to Bali in February. Unlike in Canada, there is a staggering number of Balinese children who have hearing

disabilities – many of whom never learn to speak – due to genetics and tropical diseases, such as malaria. Another prominent cause includes poor medical care. “Something like a prolonged fever can lead to deafness,” MacKay said. The lack of medical resources

makes it difficult, even for those who are given a hearing aid, to continue improving, which is why MacKay, who works with CV Lumina and the Lumina Hearing Centre, aims to find a donor who can help with associated costs, such as batteries. For one family in Bali, a pair of double-A batteries can equal the cost of food for a day, MacKay explained. Many are unable to shoulder the burden of those costs. And the longer the children are left without resources, the more detrimental it can be, Zeeman noted. “If they don’t develop speech or receive hearing assistance by the time they’re 10 – at the latest – they won’t develop speech,” he said, adding that while more than 300 children have received hearing aids, hundreds more have not. And it’s not just money and hearing aids that are in demand, MacKay said. There is a growing need for people who are able to volunteer their time and help teach students basic communication skills. While it may seem daunting to work with those who are considered profoundly deaf – both mute and deaf – Zeeman explained the ability to communicate is not just restricted to speech and hearing. “Of course it’s a challenge, but they are so interested and can learn so quickly. You have to be visual and you just show them with your hands,” he said. “It’s a very emotional thing, to see the impact of how something that people donate from a community, that may have just been sitting in a drawer and is almost meaningless to them, can have when connected to a child. It changes a life.” Hearing aids and donations are being collected year-round at Destination Hearing, 101-1790 152 St. For more information about Lumina, visit www.luminaabc.com

Semiahmoo Secondary’s Fred Zhu heading to Cambridge University

Student snags scholarship Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

One of four local contenders for one of the most valuable scholarships available to Canadian students has won. Semiahmoo Secondary’s Fred Zhu learned late Thursday that the Blyth Cambridge Commonwealth Trust Scholarship is his, and that he has been accepted to Cambridge University’s Jesus College for Natural Sciences Biological. Victoria’s Keiler Totz also won. The full-ride award is worth about $150,000, and even covers travel costs between Canada and the U.K. Zhu – along with Semi’s Lloyd James and Akshiv Bansal, and Southridge School’s Prem Ramani – learned last fall that he’d been shortlisted for the scholarship.

The International Baccalaureate student travelled to Toronto in late November to be interviewed by the award-selection committee. The 17-year-old is the second Semi student in two years to be selected a winner. Last year, Tristan Downing won. He is now studying at Cambridge’s Pembroke College. Semiahmoo’s acting vice-prin-

cipal, Lynne Porpaczy, said Zhu is the fifth Surrey IB student to attend Cambridge in the last six years. In addition to Downing, Marcia Kishida is also studying at the university on a full-ride scholarship. The Blyth Cambridge Commonwealth Trust Scholarship is presented to students who “have shown academic excellence, intellectual depth, personal integrity and success beyond their studies.” In a statement issued Thursday, Blyth Scholars chair Sam Blyth said his support to undergraduate students from Canada stems from his own experience receiving a Cambridge education. “These awards are an expression of gratitude, as well as a gift to Canadian scholars who should excel at the university,” Blyth said.

When she and her husband welcomed their son into the world three years ago, Amy Ghuman Sara’s friends and family were thrilled, extending love and best wishes to the new parents. Others also offered praise, but Ghuman Sara got the feeling some were offering congratulations, not just because they’d had a baby, but because the infant in her arms was a boy and not a girl. It’s an attitude that persists in many cultures, and one the Surrey woman has been battling for years. It’s been nine years since she and other members of Trinjan The Punjabi Folk helped organize the first Kuri Mundey Di Lohri in Surrey. While Lohri has traditionally been for Indian families to celebrate a male birth, the Surrey event has always focused on the birth of all children born in the last year. When Kuri Mundey Di Lohri began, most organizers were barely in their 20s and “just kids” themselves. Now, many of them are having their own children. “We can see the perspective of both sides now,” says Ghuman Sara. “We know how it feels. It’s given me a stronger edge that if I have a boy and my other friends have girls, there’s no real differ-

It’s a life celebration, not a specific gender.” While culturally, much progress has been made, Ghuman Sara admits that socially there’s still plenty of work to be done. She points to last month’s gang rape and murder of a young woman in Delhi as an example. “That really puts things into

perspective again. Are we really there? It seems like when we take one step ahead, 10 steps back are taken.” The evening at Dhaliwal Banquet Hall, 206 8166 128 St., begins at 4 p.m. with a bonfire outside where families can perform their personal rituals. The celebration inside begins at 5 p.m., when all newborns and newlyweds will be introduced and receive a gift. Dinner and dancing follows.

“YOU AND THE LAW” USING YOUR CELL PHONE TO PROVE ACCIDENT LIABILITY By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. Cell phones are great gadgets. Now, as well as being useful for talking (but not while driving!) and taking pictures, a cell phone can also be a useful tool at the scene of a car accident. It may even turn out to be decisive in the all-too-common situation where a court is faced with the “he said, she said” scenario of two warring parties offering contradictory stories of what happened. Take this recent case before the B.C. Supreme Court. Jodi J. sued Ms. M for personal injuries stemming from a car accident. Right after the accident, Jodi got out of her car and asked Ms. M if she was OK. Ms. M said that she was sorry, she was lost, she wanted to make a U-turn and the accident was her fault. Rather than write the statement down, Jodi asked if she could record the conversation on her cell phone. Ms. M agreed and repeated what she had said. At trial, as sometimes happens, Ms. M changed her story. Her lawyer asked the court to keep the recorded statement out of evidence, arguing it was “hearsay” and unreliable. The court held a mini-trial within the main trial to consider this. Ms. M testified that she had hit her head on the windshield when the accident happened and that she didn’t understand the recording would be used in a lawsuit. She also testified that she didn’t know why she said she was lost, because she wasn’t in fact lost, but was looking for a place to park. The court decided that the recorded statement was admissible as evidence in the main trial. The fact that Ms. M didn’t know the cell phone recording

might be used in a lawsuit wasn’t a legitimate reason for excluding it. The question of how reliable that recording was (given, for example, that Ms. M had said she’d hit her head) could be explored on cross-examination in the trial. In the end, Ms. M was found at fault for the accident, and Jodi was awarded just over $25,000 as compensation. If you’re involved in an accident, a cell phone may be very useful to take pictures of the accident scene and the damage to the cars involved, and to record the names and contact information of witnesses. Also, if possible, see if the other person will consent to making a verbal statement on your cell phone. What else should you do if involved in an accident? Sometimes shock can mask the pain and symptoms of any injuries (such as a whiplash). So if you’re not sure that you’ve been hurt, go to the hospital, your doctor or your local walk-in clinic for an exam. If you start feeling worse the next day (which often happens with soft tissue injuries), see your family doctor, report all your symptoms and follow their recommended advice. After the accident, ICBC will want to take an oral or written statement from you. Your statement or conversation with ICBC may be used against you later in court (even minor mistakes can be used to discredit you). You should therefore speak with a lawyer first before talking with the adjuster. With luck you won’t be involved in a car accident. But if you are, your cell phone could be very handy.

New Artists’ Walk - An Outdoor Gallery!

Did you get your garbage collection calendar?

The Artists’ Walk opens March 1st at White Rock Beach. Similar to the Stanley Park experience, visitors strolling the promenade from the White Rock Museum Plaza to west beach will be able to browse an outdoor gallery of paintings, artist prints, photography and sculpture and meet the artist! Artists can apply now for an Artists’ Walk annual permit. Contact White Rock Leisure Services at 604.541.2199 or download an application form from the City of White Rock website. http://www.whiterockcity.ca/assets/Community/Documents/artists-walk-application.pdf

In December the 2013 Garbage, Recycling and Green Can Collection Calendar was delivered to all single family dwellings in White Rock by Canada Post. The calendar is full of excellent information, outlines acceptable and unacceptable items and contains great waste reduction tips. If you didn’t get one, copies of the calendar are available at all City facilities. Would you prefer to receive weekly e-mail, text or phone reminders? Sign up on our website at www.whiterockcity.ca/garbagecollection and never forget your garbage day again! How to make a Green Can If you don’t use a green can, it’s time to start! • Use any plastic garbage can (60 liters or less) with a secure lid (same as used for yard trimmings). The can doesn’t have to be green. Be sure to pick up a Green Can decal at any City facility. • Collect all food scraps in a kitchen food scraps container. Save money by reusing an ice cream bucket or other lidded container. • Empty food scraps into the Green Can. You can line your Green Can with a paper kraft bag to help keep it clean – bags are recommended and are available to purchase at all City facilities. Sorry, plastic bio-degradable bags are NOT currently accepted at local processing facilities. • The Green Can is picked up every week – make sure the decal is facing the street. Please note, the Green Can program is only available to single family dwellings at this time. Need More Information? We can assist you with any questions you might have about our solid waste programs. Please contact the Department of Engineering and Municipal Operations at 604.541.2181 or visit us online at www.whiterockcity.ca/garbagecollection.

This Year Surge of flu cases hits B.C. Turn Your Resolution into Your Reality! 2013 RUN CLINICS Officials encouraging elderly to get immunized

Health officials are also grappling with a new strain of norovirus, which changes its form every few years, resulting in more cases than usual. “Many people don’t have immunity to this new strain,” said Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma. “This is a very unpleasant virus but it usually passes within 24 to 48 hours.” The “very contagious” gastrointestinal infection causes vomiting and diarrhea. Officials have battled norovirus outbreaks already at Royal Columbian, Eagle Ridge and Vancouver General hospitals, prompting some ward closures. Juma said ward closures due to norovirus are very normal each winter. Anyone who gets the flu or norovirus is urged to stay home, get rest and drink plenty of liquids. Aggressive hand-washing is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of either illness and norovirus-contaminated surfaces should be cleaned swiftly with hot, soapy water and then disinfected with a household disinfectant. Besides taking care to cover coughs and sneezes, officials recommend regular cleaning of frequently touched objects, such as doorknobs and remote controls.

New ID cards aim to prevent fraud Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. government is rolling out its new high-tech medical services cards starting Feb. 15, in an effort to phase out millions of CareCards in the hands of non-residents. The new cards will be combined with the B.C. driver’s licence, with a similar BC Services Card available to those who don’t drive. Residents will be required to re-enrol to renew the card every five years, whether they drive or not. Qualified residents can enrol in the Medical Services Plan at any provincial office that issues driver’s licences. There is no fee for the just health services card. The current $75 fee for a five-year driver’s licence renewal will apply to the new combined cards, discounted to $17 for seniors.

Contributed photo

A sample of the new combined driver’s licence and health card.

There is no requirement to get the new card until your driver’s licence needs to be renewed. The government’s plan is to change over all eligible B.C. residents between the ages of 19 and 74 to the new cards over the next five years.

To be eligible for MSP coverage, you must be a citizen or approved permanent resident of Canada, living in B.C. at least six months of the year. Dependents must also be residents to be eligible for coverage. The health ministry announced the new card program in May 2011, after a review showed there were up to 9.1 million B.C. CareCards in circulation. The total population of B.C. is 4.5 million. Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid said the new card is designed to comply with B.C.’s information and privacy law, which restricts how personal data can be used and shared. That means ICBC and police have no access to medical files, and hospitals and medical offices have no access to driving records.

“I have two braces, one on each leg, and right now they are $3,800 each to buy,” he said. “That’s a pretty outstanding amount… for families to come up with,” he said, adding that even with extended health benefits “you’re lucky to get maybe 60 per cent (coverage).” It’s quite a shock for parents to learn their child’s treatment isn’t funded, said McNamara. The Centre for Child Development’s Casting and Splinting Program receives partial funding from the Charles Johnson Charitable Foundation, but the needs exceed current resources. Without further fundraising, the program wouldn’t be able to continue. That’s where the Ken McBain Legacy Fund comes in – and Evan is its biggest booster. Since he was just four years old, Evan has been the centre’s ambassador. His confidence and willingness to speak about his condition made him a natural choice. “He doesn’t mind talking about his disability even from a young age. He always saw or has seen people looking at him strangely. He’s always been very open with it,” his mother said. “He does a lot of talking to people… thanking people for their donations.” Donations to the Ken McBain Legacy Fund help

Metro Vancouver property-tax values sag in 2012

Modest changes reported in assessments in value,” assessor Jason Gratl said of Vancouver Sea-to-Sky region changes. Many homes on Vancouver’s west side and in Richmond are also down slightly, after gains of as much as 30 per cent a year earlier. Strata condos and townhomes in Metro Vancouver were susceptible to wider swings, with drops of as much as 10 per cent and gains of 10 per cent typical. But most Fraser Valley homeowners, including Langley and Maple Ridge, are seeing minimal changes, according to assessors. The numbers vary considerably depending on neighbourhoods, property type, age and other localized factors. Stronger gains of up to 20 per cent were reported for commercial and industrial properties in the Tri-Cities and Burnaby’s Kingsway corridor saw gains of 20 to 30 per cent for commercial property. Assessments are considered a snapshot of the property value as

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Some Metro Vancouver homeowners are seeing a modest drop in their assessed property value for 2013. But officials at BC Assessment say the changes generally are not large. Drops of as much as five per cent and gains of up to 10 per cent are typical for single detached houses in Surrey, Burnaby and the TriCities, as well as many other parts of the region. White Rock was one of the areas where drops were more likely, with changes tending to range from negative 10 to plus five per cent, according to the assessment authority. Significant decreases were also more common in Whistler, Pemberton, the Sunshine Coast and Bowen Island. “For the first time in many years a significant number of properties in the region are actually decreasing

Real estate market to gain steam in late 2013: economist

End in sight for ‘standoff’ Jeff Nagel Black Press

Home prices dipped in much of the Lower Mainland last year but not by nearly enough to count as a bursting of what some had considered a real estate bubble. The composite benchmark price of all residential property in Greater Vancouver dropped 5.8 per cent from the price peak in May to the end of 2012. That represented a 2.3 per cent one-year drop from December of 2011, according to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. “It’s a mild market correction,” said Credit Union Central economist Helmut Pastrick. He predicts a continued soft real estate market for the next several months before buying and prices perk up in the second half of the year. Pastrick bases his forecast on improving growth in the U.S. that will spill over into B.C. later in the year, and spur continued economic growth and home price gains in 2014-16. He said the recent decline in prices may also help draw some prospective buyers back into the property market. Greater Vancouver Real Estate

Benchmark prices, one-year change Greater Vancouver Detached house $904,200 (- 2.7%) Attached $450,900 (- 2.6%) Apartment $361,200 (- 1.9%)

Fraser Valley Detached house $539,000 (+1.2%) Attached $296,400 (-2.2%) Apartment

$200,100 (+1.6 %)

Board president Eugen Klein said the “modest” change in home prices and the steeper 22 per cent drop in overall sales reflected a “collective hesitation” of home buyers and sellers. The benchmark price for detached houses in the Greater Vancouver area was down 2.7 per cent year-over-year to $904,000.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

White Rock author uncovers historical ‘tidbits’

Mapping out future by perusing the past Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

veryone’s familiar with the notion of a treasure map – but for White Rock author Derek Hayes, the real treasure is maps themselves. In Hayes’ latest large and lavish tome, British Columbia: A New Historical Atlas (Douglas and McIntyre, $59.95), we see our home province emerge – map by lovingly reproduced map – from the mists of ignorance, imagination and assumption to resemble the geography we take for granted today. Meticulous research and a thorough grasp of history has allowed Hayes to reconstruct the history of B.C. era by era in the colourful volume – from the best guesses of the Elizabethans to the evolution of our cities through the decades up to today. A prolific author of map-based history books – his first, in 1999 received the Bill Duthie Booksellers Choice Award – Hayes has been influential in arguing that historic maps are not simply charts of a topography but guides back through time. “My pet thing is that maps have not been utilized properly by historians,” said Hayes. “I think I’ve been trying to redress things by producing history books that consist of nothing but maps.” He first became interested in geography through his childhood hobby of stamp collecting in his English hometown of Eastbourne, Sussex – a seaside town he notes is remarkably similar to White Rock in its atmosphere, pier and concentration of older people. After training as Derek Hayes a geographer at the author University of Hull, he came to UBC to do graduate work in the Geography department in 1969 – and stayed in B.C. An interest in botanical geography led him to become an importer of hobby greenhouses, and then the distributor and publisher of gardening books. He published his first Historical Atlas of British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest himself – it seemed logical when, at the time, he had an established distribution network and warehousing. “When I did the first book, I didn’t know if anyone would be interested in a book of

maps, but it sold really well. It created for me a little niche, almost, in the market.” Hayes notes that the new book is not a reworking of the first, now out of print. Indeed, the new work collects a staggering 900 maps that he has reproduced from sources in Canada, Britain and as far afield as Spain and Russia, only 30 of which were published before. In each historic map, Hayes traces not only features of a landscape but the psychological tenor of the times that produced it. Each name of a settlement, a road, a river or a region – even the ones that did not stick for one reason or other – carries with it a story he is happy to tell. And even errors and omissions in old maps, he has found, constitute valuable clues to what happened in the past. “It tells you what they didn’t know – which to a large extent governed their actions,” he said. “For example, Alexander Mackenzie made the first overland trip to B.C. partly because he thought he was much closer to the coast, based on the stories of other fur traders, than he was. He was even carrying a message for the Empress of Russia when he ended up in what is now Bella Coola.” The latest atlas offers its own fascinating journey with a plethora of intriguing stops and side-trips. For instance, how many today know that the boundary between the U.S. and Canada was arbitrated by the German Kaiser in 1872, or that, due to a

A 1912 map (above) plotting out the development of White Rock is one of many in a new historical atlas by Peninsula author Derek Hayes. surveying error, half of the present day city of Blaine, Wash. sits on what should be, by rights, Canadian territory? (Regarding the latter, it took another treaty, in 1908, to formalize the erroneous border where it sits in Peace Arch Park.) Canada could have been even bigger, Hayes said. “In the 1820s, the Americans offered us a border that would have taken Canada down to the outskirts of Everett, Wash.” Hayes said. “They were turned down, but that was only because, at that time, we thought we

could have even more.” Other tidbits of long-forgotten history recalled through Hayes’ explorations include the long-forgotten massacre of wagon-road construction workers by the Tsilhqot’in (then known as Chilcotin) people in 1864, angered and fearful at the spread of smallpox in their community. And it just might be news to most current drivers that, up until 1920, everyone drove on the left in the province – one of the elements underlining the ‘British’ in British Columbia.

Acting teacher returns

After a three-year hiatus from the industry, a local acting instructor has returned to her passion with the launch of The Drama Class. South Surrey’s Michele Partridge decided to get back into teaching drama after noticing a lack of creative performing arts classes for the children in the community. The classes, which will be held at Camp Alexandra Neighbourhood House, will focus on young performers’ natural drama skills while building self-confidence in public speaking, Partridge said in a release. Prior to 2009, the mom of two was the owner of Kids Only Acting Classes. For more info, visit www.thedramaclass. com, email info@thedramaclass.com or phone 604-535-5977.

uestion: My wife sued me for divorce, and as part of the lawsuit her lawyer kept asking for documents about my business. I regarded this information to be nobody’s business but my own so I didn’t disclose the documents even though she got a court order. The trial was held, and my wife was awarded a sum of money based on a guess about the value of my business, but the court also awarded “special costs” against me. Her lawyer has now applied for an amount of legal fees that is hugely and disproportionately high. This is unfair. Can I do anything about this?

nswer: Special costs are only awarded against a person when a judge has found a person have “egregiously” abused the court procedures. It is a court’s way of punishing reprehensible behaviour on the part of a litigant. You are entitled to apply for leave to appeal the special costs order against you, but leave to appeal in this area is almost never given by the Court of Appeal.

South Surrey’s Spencer Bromley, who has played the last few years with the Burnaby Mountain Selects, will play next season at Merrimack College.

College’s men’s field lacrosse team is “He said now that I’m coming, he has chock full of Canadians, those at the started to recruit more out here,” Bromley school may look back to Spencer said.

to play for the next four years was far from easy, however. Bromley had interest from a number of other schools, and said coming to a final decision “was a very stressful process.” “I’ve been going down to these tournaments of a long time, trying to get looks from universities,” he explained. “It’s a long and crazy process, when you’re talking to 20 schools at once, trying to maintain your school work and also still playing lacrosse five times a week.” Eventually, he chose Merrimack because it was the best combination of lacrosse, academics and location. Bromley was one of nine recruits signed by Merrimack during the NCAA’s early signing period in November, and Morgan was thrilled with his first-ever Canadian signee. “Spencer has a great feel for the game and can finish as well as anyone we saw this summer,” Morgan said in a release. “He has played for some of the best box teams up north and brings a very crafty field lacrosse game as well.

“He adds a great inside presence to our team and should help us in that area next year.” Though he’s played plenty of box lacrosse in his young career – in Delta and also with the Semiahmoo Rock – Bromley said the field game is better tailored to his game. “They’re two completely different games, but in box lacrosse, it’s a lot harder for a smaller player like myself – it’s pretty physical. In field, there’s a lot more room,” Bromley explained. And while the distance from home to North Andover – a little more than 5,000 km – is fairly significant, Bromley long ago came to grips with the fact that if he wanted to continue his career, he was going to have to swap the west coast for the east. “If you want to play in college, that’s pretty much the place you have to go,” he said. “It’s what I’ve always wanted to do. I tried hockey and baseball when I was younger, but lacrosse really just stuck with me – I don’t know what it was.”

WRCA, Tamanawis favourites to win all-Surrey tournament

RCMP Classic to tip off Sunday Rick Kupchuk Black Press

One is the defending RCMP Basketball Classic champion. The other has 10 championship banners from the all-Surrey senior boys high school tournament hanging in its gym. Both are ranked among the top five teams in the province, are favoured to meet in a rematch of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament final Jan. 19. The Tamanawis Wildcats won their first-ever RCMP title a year ago, edging the White Rock Christian Academy (WRCA) Warriors 68-66 in overtime and denying the South Surrey school an 11th championship. Ranked fourth and fifth respectively in the BC Boys Basketball Association provincial rankings, the Warriors and Wildcats might be the most likely teams to reach this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final. But the eighth-

ranked Enver Creek Cougars and the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers (honourable mention) could also be factors in the 23-team knockout competition. What is expected is having four teams from Surrey considered among B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best should make this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RCMP Classic one of the more competitive in recent years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It should be,â&#x20AC;? agreed Rick Inrig, co-chair of the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organizing committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having three of the top 10 teams helps. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to see three (Surrey) schools ranked, and Lord Tweedsmuir is fairly good as well.â&#x20AC;? Fourteen schools begin play in the qualifying round of the 22nd annual RCMP Classic Sunday at Earl Marriott and Enver Creek Secondaries, the winners advancing to the round-of-16 Tuesday at Fleetwood Park and Southridge high schools.

Ron Wiseman

Fleetwood Park will host one of three quarterfinal games Wednesday, the other three being played at Enver Creek, which will also host next Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Jan. 18) two semifinals as well as the championship game. In total, 43 games will be played at six Surrey schools. Lord Tweedsmuir will host consolation games next Thursday (Jan. 17), while Frank Hurt

will be the site of Pool B (qualifying round losers). A 16-team junior boys tournament will again be part of the RCMP Classic, with games at Panorama Ridge and Princess Margaret Monday through Thursday of next week, with the final at Enver Creek on Jan. 19. With a total of 39 teams, more than $10,000 in scholarship

money, and an invitation to Grade 12s to the All-Star Classic game on April 5, the tournament is as big as it can get, said Inrig, adding a new look to the host sites is the only change that can be expected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be some new banners, more logos in the gym. It will look more professional,â&#x20AC;? said Inrig. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not much more we can do.â&#x20AC;?

2013 to be the year of remarkable changes

Morningstar Homes photo

Bob de Wit, CEO of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association, says that Metro Vancouver will see “a greater utilization of the buildable ... land-base” in 2013.

By Kerry Vital

The Lower Mainland will continue to see the influence of rapid transit in 2013, with communities such as Surrey’s City Centre and Richmond continuing to grow. Home construction will also continue, with a trend towards smaller spaces.

it lends a touch of elegance that you cannot get from paint. Several new home developments have integrated wallpaper into their show homes. Similarly, classic and traditional decor is still king, with chic moulding, hardwood flooring and cool paint colours. “People like a timeless, classic look,” Gallop says.

He sees that trend continuing, saying “look for greater utilization of the buildable Lower Mainland land-base.” When it comes to home decor, wallpaper is making a comeback. Sarah Gallop of Sarah Gallop Design Inc. notes that while many homeowners have something akin to posttraumatic stress disorder from bad wallpaper in the 1980s,

As we usher in 2013, it might be time to consider where the real estate market is going. Whether it’s our population, home decor or the size of our dwelling, some professionals in the industry have some ideas on what we’ll see this year. “We are very fortunate to have a strong immigrant community,” says Michael Hungerford of Hungerford Properties. “It makes for constant change. That’s what Vancouver is about.” The past year has seen the continued rapid growth of Surrey and Richmond in particular, Hungerford says. He believes that this will continue, and is happy to say that Hungerford Properties will be part of it with a new project in Richmond. “Richmond has a really visionary plan,” he says, adding that the Canada Line has really contributed to this. With a large Asian population in the city centre itself, he sees the face of Richmond being quite different in the future. “2013 will have some remarkable changes to food, culture, shopping, everything,” he says. “It will be really exciting to see.” But it’s not just the cities themselves that will be seeing a few changes next year. “The trend over the last year and moving forward is toward smaller housing forms,” says Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association CEO Bob de Wit. “Whether it’s microsuites in condominium developments or progressively smaller lots sizes for detached homes.”

Jo was born on March 10, 1932 in Worthing, Sussex, U.K. She is survived by George, her loving husband and companion of 47 years and her devoted daughter Sarah Jane, her son-in-law Tony and her young grandson, Jack. At the age of 14 her parents, Ken and Kathleen Orrin, who were in Austria with the RAF, enrolled Jo in a boarding school in Sussex, where she studied ballet. In 1950 she joined a theatre touring company as a dancer and remained with that company until she moved to Canada in 1954. When Jo arrived in Canada she lived for many years in Toronto where she worked various jobs and sailed with the Queen City Yacht Club. Jo and George moved to Mississauga in the late 1960s and Jo started to dance again. She took some workshops and began teaching ballet at a small school in Oakville. When George took early retirement they moved to Waterloo, Ontario, and Jo was active in the two paint and wallpaper stores they opened there. They moved to White Rock, British Columbia when their grandson was born in 2007. Jo was a loving mum and kind friend to many. She had a smile and hug for everyone.

STEWART, Duncan Kenny Born May 8th 1943, Ottawa ONT. Duncan passed away suddenly on New Years Eve, 2012. Much loved by family and friends in the Crescent Beach and White Rock area, Duncan was a local character who enjoyed spending time with his loved ones. Duncan grew up in Fernie, BC where he enjoyed skiing during his earlier years. He had a palette for a fine meal, which most certainly did not include Brussel sprouts. A creature of habit, he loved his nights out at the Crescent Beach Bistro and regular fruit smoothies at the Pelican Rouge. Duncan was an avid reader, and spent much time listening to music, watching football and teasing the fantastic staff at the Evergreen Baptist Home. Duncanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful smile, gentle manner and independent spirit will be missed by all. He is predeceased by his parents Kenny and Margaret Stewart and his brother, John Stewart. He is survived by his sister, Sally Peers, his brother Edwy Stewart, his sister-in-law Sally Stewart as well as 6 nieces and nephews for whom he showed great interest. Donations can be made in Duncanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name to Evergreen Baptist Home in White Rock BC.

Joâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family thanks the staff at Al Hogg Pavilion for the care and compassion extended to Jo during her final weeks. A memorial service will be held at All Saintsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Anglican Church in Waterloo, Ontario on February 2, 2013 at 1:30 p.m. Flowers are gratefully declined but a memorial donation to the Alzheimer Society of Canada would be appreciated.
