BC Liberal MLA criticizes colleague for calling councillors in between public-hearing sessions on casino

Minister’s intervention ‘inappropriate’ Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Rich Coleman

Gordon Hogg

BC Liberal MLA Gordon Hogg says he is “surprised” and “disappointed” to learn that B.C.’s minister responsible for gaming made personal calls to Surrey councillors during last week’s publichearing process on the Gateway casinoentertainment complex. “I’m planning to have further discussion with my colleagues on this,” the Surrey-White Rock MLA said Tuesday. Hogg said it’s a matter of concern for him that his BC Liberal colleague, Rich Coleman, was talking to council members between two public hearings on the South Surrey project. Hogg said such conversation was open to interpretations that it was an attempt to influence the decision. Repeated attempts by Peace Arch News to reach Coleman since Monday morn-

ing have been unsuccessful. Couns. Tom Gill and Bruce Hayne confirmed to PAN independently Tuesday that they had both received calls from Coleman between the first publichearing session Jan. 14 and a second ses-

sion Jan. 18. Both councillors said Coleman advised them that if the project didn’t pass, Surrey would not receive any other applications through BC Lottery Corporation. Neither councillor, however, inter-

South-of-Fraser communities from Delta to Langley will now be considered for a new casino to replace the South Surrey proposal narrowly rejected by Surrey council. BC Lottery Corporation president and CEO Michael Graydon said a call for expressions of interest from nearby communities is likely, and that would

include White Rock and First Nations, such as the Semiahmoo band, which has indicated some interest. “If you circle that South Surrey/White Rock area, we would certainly entertain any opportunities in communities like that,” Graydon said Tuesday. “We’re very open to any opportunities that may potentially exist now that Surrey has decided they don’t want it.” › see page 4

preted Coleman’s message as lobbying. “Intervention by anybody in between (the sessions), I think, is inappropriate,” Hogg told PAN. “Any type of intervention was inappropriate.” The proposal was ultimately rejected by council in a 5-4 early-morning vote Saturday, prompting widely published comments from Coleman, also minister responsible for housing and minister of energy and mines, that he was disappointed for Surrey and that BCLC would not consider any other casino proposals in the city because it had lost confidence in council’s decision-making. Hogg said he objected to such criticism of “a city council doing its due diligence,” adding that the remarks indicated an assumption that councillors could make up their mind before the “process of public engagement” was complete. › see page 5

Care facilities don’t provide ongoing housing: Fraser Health

Amputee left homeless after hospital stay Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Evan Seal photo

Amputee Shawn Kenny.

Two months after having his leg amputated, Surrey’s hospital released the homeless man to the streets. Shawn Kenny, 51, was admitted to Surrey Memorial Hospital last September to deal with an infection in his left leg. Several attempts to heal the affliction were unsuccessful, so in November, Kenny’s limb was amputated below the knee. Because of is protracted stay in the hospital, he’d lost his apartment. In January, staff at the rehabilitation pavilion told him he was clear to go. “You’re going to release me to the street,” Kenny told them. “We’ve done all we can do,” he recalls

them saying. “Our hands are tied.” So last Friday, Kenny headed off to Surrey Urban Mission (SUMS) in his wheelchair. The mission was open as a shelter during the cold snap. On the way there, he was mugged and beaten. At 11:29 p.m., there was a knock at the door of SUMS. Executive Director Jonquil Hallgate said a couple of police officers were there to drop Kenny off. Now dealing with a virus he caught at the shelter, a fresh beating, a missing leg, and no great hope of long-term housing, Kenny said he felt as bad as he ever has. “I invited death to just come and take me,” he said. “I was so sick.” Hallgate is mortified the hospital system is releasing patients onto the

street and into shelters. (Half an hour after Kenny showed up at her door, Hallgate said another man with amputated toes appeared at SUMS after being released from Surrey Memorial Hospital). Fraser Health Authourity spokesman Roy Thorpe-Dorward said Wednesday the hospitals’ duty is health care, not housing. “So, when they come into the hospital homeless, they leave homeless, as long as their acute-care needs are met,” Thorpe-Dorward said, adding there’s an effort to connect them with community resources. “Acute-care facilities, rehab facilities, hospitals, don’t provide ongoing housing,” Thorpe-Dorward said. “So

if somebody’s care needs are met at the hospital, and they’re ready to be discharged, they’re discharged.” As an extreme weather shelter, Hallgate could only provide Kenny a warm place to stay until Wednesday, when warmer temperatures meant her facility would be closed. She said Fraser Health should be letting service providers know well in advance when someone is going to be released to the streets, so that housing can be found for them. As it turns out, by noon Wednesday, Hallgate had found Kenny a spot at Highland House Shelter, which can help him out for the longer term. She said some advance notice could have saved Kenny from a mugging.

Project criticized

Foster St. opponents ‘appalled’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Neighbourhood opposition to a townhouse project proposed for Foster Street was loud and clear during a public hearing last week at White Rock city hall. The two-building, 14-unit complex would create traffic congestion, ruin views and breach the city’s own Official Community Plan, opponents claimed. The development is proposed for 1330, 1338 and 1346 Foster St., and proponents have requested rezoning to permit site-specific density, lot coverage, setbacks and height. The application received first and second reading last month. Of a dozen people who spoke at the public hearing, eight spoke against the project. Timothy Dunbar predicted traffic “havoc” if the project goes ahead, noting a “huge complex” is already under construction on Roper. Nicole Beland told council she is “appalled” at a lack of vision for the city that she said dates back to the reign of former mayor Judy Forster. “Haven’t you learned from past problems? High-density development does not solve White Rock’s financial problems,” Beland said. Residents in support of the project described it as needed affordable housing. Ron Elliott told council he has three grown sons who want to move back to the area, and such a development would enable them to afford it. Landscape architect Thomas Kyle told council the project is designed to “blend in as much as possible with the surrounding area… to settle this place into this area.” The matter is expected to come back to council on Jan. 28.

Amy Walmsley, who has owned Shibui Skin Care in White Rock for more than 20 years, is relocating her spa to Ocean Park after construction on George Street has left little to no parking available to her customers.

White Rock business owner fed up with George Street construction

Spa owner leaves parking woes behind Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A longtime White Rock businessowner fed up with construction that has all-but-wiped out parking in front of her George Street spa is relocating to South Surrey’s Ocean Park. Amy Walmsley, who has operated Shibui Skin Care at 1440 George St. since 1989, said she has tried for the past year to get city officials to act on her concerns – which include cement trucks taking over the street for hours on end – and crack down on violators, to no avail. “I’ve taken hundreds of names down to city hall of clients who have complained,” Walmsley said Tuesday. But parking officials who investigate always tell her there is no one exceeding the two-hour parking limit, she said. Mayor Wayne Baldwin said he’s not surprised to hear that the construction is causing disruption, but said the city has made “a pretty strong effort” to ensure workers aren’t taking street parking. Many employees use the vacant lot adjacent

to the Coast Capital Playhouse, at the corner of Johnston Road and Russell Avenue, he said. “Short of having a guy permanently posted (on George Street) to watch and then question everybody who leaves their car there… it’s just not practical,” he said. Baldwin described Walmsley’s decision to take her business out of White Rock as “really too bad.” “I can understand the short-term pain, but there’s long-term gain there,” he said. “She would have a potential couple hundred customers right at her doorstep if she were able to wait it out. Ultimately, I think that’ll be a really good spot.” Work on and around the Avra tower is nearing completion, he noted; and construction of the Soltaire project, on Thrift between Johnston and George, is underway. “It’ll be about 18 months before anything settles down, but at the end of the day, in 18 months’ time, there’ll be an awful lot of customers.” Walmsley, who lives just around the corner from her business’s current location, estimates

she’s lost about 30 per cent of her business already, and can’t afford to lose more. “I made the decision (to leave) six months ago. I knew I couldn’t carry on paying the rent with what was going on. “We couldn’t let it happen anymore. I cashed in all my RRSPs to do this… in Ocean Park.” She expects that many of her customers will also choose to do other shopping in Ocean Park on the days they have spa appointments; taking even more business out of White Rock. At least one other George Street business confirmed parking concerns are heard regularly. At the George Street Family Practice, patients routinely have to park on neighbouring streets, said one staffer. “It’s kind of a regular complaint,” said one woman, who asked not to be named. “People are late for their appointments, people can’t find parking. “It just looks like it’s all being taken up by construction.” Patients Wednesday morning reported having to park nearly two blocks away, by North Bluff Road, she said.

Casino rejection affects other Surrey residents

Slots stay on in Newton

Winter Jewellery REPAIR SALE

Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey residents will not get another say on whether the slots remain at a Newton casino, according to the head of the BC Lottery Corporation. Gateway Casinos and Entertainment recently installed 150 penny slots at the Newton Square Bingo Hall at 7093 King George Blvd. They were there temporarily, while Surrey council rendered a decision on whether the gaming licence would be transferred to a Gateway-planned mega-casino in South Surrey. Saturday morning, city council voted that down in a split vote. It leaves the Newton facility still running on a temporary licence, but it was unclear whether BCLC would require the blessing of Surrey council before allowing a permanent licence. Still calming from the shock of having the South Surrey entertainment complex rejected by council, BCLC president and CEO Michael Graydon said

LIMITED TIME SPECIAL

No casino in South Surrey means slots are to remain in Newton. Tuesday he anticipates plans for the Newton casino will forge ahead. Surrey has already conducted all the public consultations required for that gaming licence, Graydon said. Under an agreement with the city, Gateway has to renovate that mall now that the South Surrey site has been rejected. The agreement states that “Gateway will obtain a building permit by May 1, 2013 and thereafter proceed with construction

in a timely manner through to completion of a redevelopment of the existing Newton Bingo Hall site,” according to a corporate report to council. It allows for the construction of a new building that will “house a Community Gaming Centre including 150 slot machines, for which a Community Gaming Centre licence has already been approved by BCLC.” The Newton casino will remain unless Gateway and BCLC agree on another location.

Councillor surprised by phone call › from page 1 Hogg noted that land-use issues and the related public-hearing process must be “the sole purview of the City of Surrey.” He said he feels Surrey council was in possession of all the information it needed to make its decision without further input, noting he and fellow Surrey MLAs Kevin Falcon and Stephanie Cadieux had taken care not to weigh in on the casino proposal. “We all stayed out of the process and allowed Surrey to (make its decision),” Hogg said. “To find out after the fact that some of my colleagues have not done the same – I was surprised and, to some degree, disappointed that took place.” Gill said he had initially contacted BCLC, seeking information on whether the Crown

corporation would entertain a casino/entertainment centre proposal elsewhere in Surrey. “I had been seeking clarification from BCLC,” Gill said, adding he was “quite surprised” to be called back by Coleman. “The minister made it very clear that the only opportunity was South Surrey, full-stop, period.” Gill, who voted for the licence, and Hayne, who voted against, said Coleman told them it was either the Gateway project – which would include a hotel, convention centre and theatre – or nothing. Coleman’s message was “take it or leave it,” they agreed. Hayne said he is “not philosophically against gambling” but voted to reject the application because he felt the location was wrong. He said he returned a call from Coleman before the second pub-

uestion: My aunt never had any children. She was a shrewd person with a magnetic personality and she accumulated about 2.5 million dollars in her productive business life. She made her will through a financial institution and she named them as her executors. Her beneficiaries were her nieces and nephews including myself. The will has now been probated. Her assets consisted of bank accounts, GICs and investments all held in the financial institution she named as her executor. We beneficiaries are appalled at the size of the executor’s fees because her whole estate consisted of assets in their institution. The executor’s fees are nearly $100,000 and most of the work was done by a lawyer who was paid by the estate in addition to the executor’s fees. We nieces and nephews want to contest the executor’s fees, but the financial institution says we can’t, because our aunt signed a separate contract with them for executor’s fees. I thought the Supreme Court could always review executor’s fees for their reasonableness in the circumstances. Am I right?

nswer: No. Once your aunt signed a contract to pay executor’s fees on a lump sum or percentage basis, the court no longer has jurisdiction to review the executor’s fees for their reasonableness. The financial institution is legally entitled to charge those fees regardless of how little effort was required to probate your aunt’s will. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

lic hearing to be told it “would be very unlikely” there would be another Surrey proposal. “I don’t know that I would characterize it as lobbying,” he said. “He was making his position quite clear, what the consequences would be.” Hayne said he found Coleman’s comments after the vote “unfortunate,” particularly his questioning of council’s decision-making. Hayne said council members took pains to assess the benefits and drawbacks of the proposal, no matter which way they voted. “We conducted ourselves in an open, transparent way, and did what we believed was best for the future of the city,” he said. A media representative for Coleman referred questions to BCLC. Mayor Dianne Watts was also not available for comment.

editorial

Coleman called out

esidents can be forgiven for presuming the casino/hotel/convention centre planned for South Surrey was a done deal long before last week’s public-hearing process. Turns out, the provincial minister responsible for gaming assumed exactly the same thing. Minister Rich Coleman said as much after two marathon public-hearing sessions ended early Saturday with the rejection of Gateway Casinos and Entertainment’s gaming facility in a controversial 5-4 vote by Surrey council. He – and the BC Lottery Corporation – has wasted little time in the days since advising that the City of Surrey has been relegated to the backburner when it comes to future projects by the Crown corporation. Even more shockingly, Peace Arch News learned this week that Coleman called individual council members in between public-hearing sessions to advise that this was a take-it-orleave-it proposition – there would be no new casinos elsewhere in the city, regardless of local wishes. Appalling. While Coleman’s understanding of civic process and his own ministry’s mandate is lacking, his seeming disdain for due process is worse. No, minister, the land in question was not already zoned for a casino. And no, a government official consulting with the very people who sit as judge and jury to deliver any sort of private message – during what is supposed to be a decidedly public process – is not acceptable. Hundreds turned out, and thousands more tuned in, to take part in the public hearing that was to help decide the fate of a planned “entertainment centre” on 168 Street at 10 Avenue. Speakers on both sides lined up to take their numbers and await their turns in what turned into two overnight sessions, talking into the wee hours. Surrey politicians listened, city staff advised, media reported and – in the middle of it all – a provincial minister blusters through the backdoor to issue what can only be interpreted as an ultimatum. If this is the sort of shameful behaviour Premier Christy Clark encourages of our leaders on the provincial stage – from the same government that vowed to leave casino placement up to each community – the May 14 election will not come soon enough. A side-note to councillors who were placed in a potentially awkward position when Coleman made his calls: the minister should have been forced to take a number, like the rest of us.

and thus politicians. So now they’re angry – Hulk angry – and they’re starting to get organized… at least, as organized as creative, headstrong, bombastic, selfless people can be. To be fair to the premier, I think my former colleagues’ initial reaction missed the mark. They see Clark’s Jobs Plan as a huge investment to protect actual, well… jobs. I see it as a politician campaigning with millions of our dollars to protect just hers. And I haven’t heard from anybody – not a soul – who privately predicts those efforts will be successful. Hmmm. Clark’s “race to the bottom” comment last week, in which she seemed to be referring to competing film industries and governments, might soon come back to haunt her. In fact, I suggest those who were once gainfully employed in film might want to try to ingratiate themselves with leading candidates, ensuring a friendly face or two come the May 14 election. As well, they might want to spend more time educating both the public and themselves about how tax credits actually work. No, these are not the same as subsidies, but nor are they found money. Done right, such incentives are our investment – yours and mine – in an industry that promotes services, supplies and employment in and around the Lower Mainland. And, most beneficial to the province as a whole, it’s an industry that casts light on our tourism industry to those who have both cash and time to spend. The math is out there. Both sides have yet to calculate it accurately. Lance Peverley is editor of the Peace Arch News.

Win-at-all-costs all too common Editor: The sad tale of Lance Armstrong goes far beyond his seemingly calculated attempt at purging his sins in the faint hope of redemption. On the surface, his actions are clearly repugnant, yet in today’s reality, Armstrong merely reflects a problem that runs deeper and far more pervasively than it first appears. His tainted legacy of lying, cheating, doping and bullying to secure a victory illustrates a toxic environment in which we are all immersed. This ‘win-at-all-costs mentality’ has permeated almost every segment of our culture, whether it be sports, entertainment, business or social values. How are we enriched as a society by cheating or bullying our way to the top? Victory by this method is hollow. We have obviously lost sight of what a true champion in life is, and it is time to redefine our values and our measurements of success. My journey of seeking meaning through the hopes of winning Olympic gold in 1968 – and falling just short – has been a driving force in my life. My Olympic meltdown and emotional aftermath led me down an ever-evolving path of lessons. This ironic twist of fate eventually guided me to redefine my values and goals, inspiring to write my new website questbeyondgold.ca Ultimately, it is not up to us to forgive Lance for his indiscretions but for Lance himself because, in the end, the most damaging lies are the ones we tell ourselves. Elaine Tanner, Surrey

Dog owners too inattentive Editor: We used to have a dog for 14 years and would never not pick up. In Crescent Beach, you constantly see dog owners walking ahead with their pets off-leash, so they of course can say they didn’t see their dog soiling the area behind them. Bylaw officers need to be in the area giving out fines on a regular basis. Perhaps it’s time to review the Surrey bylaw and restrict dogs at Crescent Beach year-round and not just the summer months.

Surrey councillors – two of whom supported a casino, two opposed – listen at a second night of public hearings.

Political fallout over casino vote An open letter to Surrey Couns. Tom Gill, Barbara Steele, Barinder Rasode and Linda Hepner. We are writing to express our disappointment in you for voting in favour of the South Surrey casino proposal. Clearly none of you considered or cared about the impact on those of us living in the South Surrey community close to the proposed site. You were elected to consider all of the citizens of Surrey in your decisions and you seem to have forgotten that. We are disappointed that you chose to ignore the hundreds of us that took the time to let all of you know we did not want the casino in our backyard. It was clear to the mayor that many of us living here did not want the project, but somehow this was lost on all of you. None of you will get our vote in the next election. Kevin Jones, Surrey n An open letter to Mayor Dianne Watts and Couns. Bruce Hayne, Judy Villeneuve, Marvin Hunt and Mary Martin. It is with a heavy heart I find myself having to write you on the proposed South Surrey entertainment complex that was defeated by council on the morning of Jan. 19. What perplexes me is how you can turn your backs on the potential this proposition would have brought to our city. I can’t fathom how you, as elected officials, can turn down such an innovative grand facility that would have put Surrey on the map as an entertainment destination. I feel as if the needs and wants of just a very small group have outweighed the needs and benefits for the majority of those who reside in Surrey. As a resident myself, I would much rather have the option of spending my entertainment money within my own city rather than taking my hard-earned dollars elsewhere. I can’t understand why the prospect of 500 permanent jobs, as well as up to 1,200 jobs in the construction sector, can be brushed aside so easily, just because a vocal small population sample protested adamantly against. I ask that you rethink your decision. Perhaps a public referendum would be the more democratic way to see what the citizens really are in support of, rather than a small cross-section who don’t want change to their area.

If not an entertainment complex, perhaps a land-fill or noisy factory may be in the future, which I think would be somewhat less desirable. K. Owens, Surrey n An open letter to B.C. gaming minister Rich Coleman. I read your criticism of Surrey council’s rejection of the South Surrey casino project. Who the hell do you think you are? It appears that the bottom line is your only interest and concern and not the wishes of the residents. What a terrible attitude. It may surprise you that we – the citizens, taxpayers – have a say and control in our area, not you. Fred Somers Sr., Surrey n Editor: Mayor Dianne Watts’ decision to reject the South Surrey entertainment complex unquestionably made her a loser in the common-sense department. She opted for popularity among naysayers rather than to act with the best interest of all of Surrey in mind. In the media, she claimed receipt of 4,000 letters opposing the complex and that is why she voted no. The population of Surrey is 500,000. I doubt the mayor read each letters’ contents to sort out fact from fiction. At the public hearing, a small number of those against had legitimate individual reasons, but the majority fell back on misinformation. The mayor seemed not interested in substance and took no notice. Lost was a true destination resort for South Surrey providing badly needed facilities, including a convention centre, a venue for the performing arts and a four-star hotel. Tourists and conventioneers would find excellent golf courses, White Rocks’ beaches and an abundant variety of shopping to spend money at. This and other local entrepreneurial opportunities are now gone. Every business organization in Surrey and White Rock, as well as competitors, was in favour. Individual citizens were also in favour. All were ignored sum. You blew it, mayor. Big time. J. Edwards, Surrey

Fewer in-camera meetings in 2012 than previous two years

Closed talks down, not out Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

There were fewer closed meetings at White Rock city hall in 2012 than in each of the two years prior. City clerk Tracey Arthur confirmed last month that 18 in-camera meetings were held over the course of the year, down from 25 in 2011 and 29 in 2010. Keeping the meetings to a minimum – and pre-scheduled closed sessions to nil – was among pledges made by Mayor Wayne Baldwin when he was elected in November 2011. Baldwin said last month that all of the 2012 closed meetings were necessary, and he expects they will continue to be held about once a month, “hopefully less.” While issues on the agenda are often “not big things,” council is obligated to discuss them privately, he said. “We had one to talk about who

we should select for the Diamond Jubilee,” Baldwin said. In his inaugural speech as mayor, on Dec. 5, 2011, Baldwin said the new council would only hold closed meetings if they had to. “Moreover, the criteria for deciding if they are to be held will not be, ‘how can we take this in-camera?’ but rather, ‘does this have to be in-camera?’” he said. According to the city’s 2010 annual report, council held more closed meetings (24) that year than it did regular council meetings (22). Five committee meetings were also closed to the public. In 2011, there were 14 closed meetings and 11 closed committee meetings. Three of the 18 closed sessions in 2012 were finance and audit committee meetings. Under the B.C. Community Charter, only four matters are identified as matters that must be discussed behind closed doors: a request under the Freedom of

Information and Protection of Privacy Act; information about negotiations involving the local government and a provincial or federal government or both; an investigation under the Ombudsman Act; and, a matter that, under another enactment, is such that the public must be excluded from the meeting. Another 15 matters “may” be dealt with in-camera, the charter states. Those range from personal information about an employee and labour relations to litigation and discussions with municipal officers for the purposes of preparing an annual report. Baldwin said city business should be done in the open as much as possible. According to a clerk at the City of Surrey, closed meetings in that city are routinely held prior to regular council meetings. Records show that in 2012, 20 closed meetings were held.

White Rock property-tax increase set It’s official – White Rock taxpayers will see their property taxes go up by 3.38 per cent this year. Council voted unanimously (Coun. Bill Lawrence was absent) last week to adopt the Financial Plan (2013-2017) Bylaw that sets

the rate. The boost is higher than two figures – 2.8 and three per cent – that were recommended by staff in the months leading up to the Jan. 14 vote, but lower than the 3.94 per cent that was projected in the 2012-2016 financial plan.

The increase means the average single-family homeowner will see property taxes jump by $93; the increase to strata properties will be $36. It received first, second and third reading on Dec. 17. - Tracy Holmes

A father and son sustained minor injuries following a crash on King George Boulevard in South Surrey.

Collision at King George Boulevard and Crescent Road

Father, son injured in crash A father and son were taken to hospital with minor injuries, following a crash at King George Boulevard and Crescent Road last week. Police and fire crews were called to the intersection just before 5:30 p.m. Jan. 16, after a southbound Honda Accord struck a Toyota Tundra that was turning

left off of Crescent Road to head north on King George. Witnesses told police that the collision occurred when the 34-year-old Honda driver went through a red light. The impact scattered debris across the intersection; the truck came to a rest just short of the highway median, facing south.

The truck occupants – a 41-year-old Surrey man and his 11-year-old son – were taken to hospital and are expected to make a full recovery. The Honda driver, also a Surrey resident, was released at the scene. Charges under the Motor Vehicle Act are pending.

RCM-SAR 5 practises emergency procedures with BC Ferries

Training a ‘door-opener’ for Peninsula crew Tracy Holmes

Staff Reporter

og that shrouded Boundary Bay Monday was so thick, a search and rescue crew navigating back to Crescent Marina from a training exercise at the BC Ferries terminal had no choice but to rely on radar and GPS equipment to get there. “It’s probably the thickest fog you’ll see in this bay,” said Morgan Brewster, crew chief of the fourman Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue 5 (RCM-SAR 5) team aboard the Vigilant rescue vessel that day. “It’s worse than night because you can’t (even) see lights – and I love it.” The weather condition was the worst of its kind that Brewster, coxswain Tim Murphy, helmsman Ben Jones and crew Randy Hay had seen on the water, and one they hoped recreational boaters would know better than to risk setting out in – similar conditions on the weekend led the crew to assist a 38-foot Bayliner after it ran aground. Monday afternoon, markers that line the narrow channel leading to the marina were essentially invisible; even seabirds flying just a few feet from the rigidhull inflatable appeared almost ghostlike. “Ok, stay that course,” Brewster advised Jones several times along the way, after directing shifts in co-ordinates and speed. Fortunately, the skies were clear closer to the ferry terminal, where the crew had earlier joined up with teams from Delta (RCMSAR 8) and Steveston (RCM-SAR 7) for a BC Ferries-organized exercise that gave the volunteers a chance to test how things would unfold in the event of an emergency on one of the ships. Involving the RCM-SAR teams was co-ordinated by Carl Linton, a BC Ferries deckhand and quartermaster who also serves as the Delta squad’s training officer. “My main goal was just to kind of initiate co-operation between BC Ferries and RCM-SAR,” said Linton. “It just gave all the crews a chance to kind of see how the evacuation systems on the ship sort of work, in a nutshell. “It was kind of a door-opener.” While the action wasn’t intense, it was an opportunity worth

Monday, as Spirit of B.C. crew members watched from a deck high above, and RCM-SAR teams took position on the water below, the ship’s captain announced the distress call. The rescue chute and life rafts were deployed, and the auxiliary crews hooked up to and towed the circular inflatables – a shape and

weight they don’t encounter on a regular basis. Calls to help stranded kite surfers and missing or distressed recreational vessels are more the norm in the waters of Semiahmoo and Boundary bays. If Monday’s exercise had been a real-life scenario, the rafts could have been carrying as many as 50 ferry passengers; weight that would have changed the dynamic of the tow. At the helm, Jones said, even empty, the difference in the degree of control he had over the raft as it shifted from behind the Vigilant to one side was marked, from good to limited. A member of the auxiliary crew for a little more than six years, Jones’s previous boating experience includes four years in the Bahamas working for the Disney Cruise Line. He and Murphy now both work with South Surrey’s MPB Construction Ltd. Hay, with about 18 months experience on the RCMSAR 5 crew, is an accountant. All of the RCM-SAR 5 volunteers – there are currently 20 active – are on call for one week of every month, and training aboard the Vigilant is a regular part of the commitment. Monday’s joint training was likely one of the last that the Vigilant will see, however. A deal to replace the aging craft – which has carried the crew for more than 12 years now – was signed last May, and construction got underway in July. The new rescue vessel is expected to arrive early this spring, said Murphy, and will feature such upgrades as updated technology and shocks. Fundraising to purchase the vessel began about five years ago, and while that goal – about $320,000 – has been met, once the tab has been paid the local crew will be “strapped” financially, Murphy said. Funds for equipment and crew safety gear is all raised in the community, through private and corporate donations, legacies and sponsorships. Some funds hail from B.C. gaming proceeds; the team also hosts annual golf tournaments and a dance to help boost the coffers. For more information, visit www.rcmsar5.com

South Surrey woman celebrated for work

Anti-tobacco champ honoured A South Surrey woman is being celebrated this week as an “anti-tobacco champion,” for her efforts toward affordable smokefree housing. Rose Marie Borutski is one of 10 individuals and organizations in B.C. being recognized by the BC Lung Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation (B.C. & Yukon) with a 2013 Champion for Tobacco-Free Living Award. The inaugural awards mark National Non-Smoking Week, Jan. 20-26. Borutski was among residents of Kiwanis Park Place who lodged a human-rights complaint alleging discrimination based on physical disability due to second-hand smoke in subsidized suites at the 12850 26 Ave. facility. The issue went to a settlement meeting in August 2010, with the results bound by a gag order. In early 2012, she learned she would receive a monthly “private market rent subsidy.” It enabled her to find and rent a smoke-free unit at an unsubsidized complex. “Rose Marie’s first-hand experience battling the negative health

effects caused by second-hand smoke in shared housing is stirring up important public discussion and debate on an issue in desperate need of attention and action,” Scott McDonald, chief executive officer of the BC Lung Association, said in a statement announcing the awards. Diego Marchese, CEO of the Heart and Stroke Foundation, said B.C. needs more people like Borutski, “whose unyielding efforts to wake up decision-makers on housing-related tobacco use issues is long overdue.”

Approximately 85 per cent of British Columbians are nonsmokers, and the province has more than 725,000 residential strata lots. Only a few have outlawed smoking. While grateful for the subsidy she now receives, Borutski is continuing the fight on behalf of others unable to afford their way out of similar situations. “Receiving the market rent subsidy only confirms there continues to be a real shortage of smoke-free, social housing available to others like me who live on limited incomes,” she said. “It’s encouraging to be acknowledged and I’m thankful for the rent subsidy. I’m happy Rich Coleman, minister responsible for housing, has at long last acknowledged second-hand smoke as a legal source of nuisance, which threatens tenants’ right to quiet enjoyment and thus requires landlords to act when a complaint is filed.” Borutski shares what she has learned through a blog, Canadians PUSH for Smoke-Free Housing (http://canadianpushforsmokefreehousing.blogspot.ca/).

to be fobbed off by incomplete, inaccurate or unbalanced presentations from the protagonist, what is called ‘spindoctoring’ in the political world. At the same time, we must not confuse correlation with causation as has happened in the carbon x climate-change debate. There will be times when emotional, even spiritual reasons may be advanced in opposition to a project. They are impossible to quantify and can be countered by equally imponderable contrary considerations so that agreement cannot be reached. An arbitrary decision is then likely, probably leaving one party dissatisfied and quite possibly aggrieved. Supporting one’s position with provable facts to the greatest possible extent makes it all the harder for critics to validate opposition. Assembling such data can be a time-consuming and costly undertaking beyond the capabilities of one individual or a few. This is when our governments, representing the whole community and the long term, should become impartially engaged so that another of our environmental resolutions should be to demand that degree of impartial and dispassionate political involvement.

The breakthrough new way to SCULPT YOUR BODY! may be tempting, the pain is not! Now you don’t have to. Thanks to Zeltiq a new surgery-free FDA approved technique is available and New Beauty Institute is pleased to have been chosen to be able to offer the treatment. How it works: As temperatures plunge, fat cells freeze long before muscle, skin or any other tissue does! Zeltiq Coolsculpting takes advantage of this by chilling fat deposits to around 45 degrees. “Damaged, frozen fat cells can’t be repaired by the body, so they’re smoothing out even stubborn fat pads within two to four months” says dermatologist Mark S. Nestor, M.D., Director of the Center for Cosmetic Enhancement in Miami, Florida. And specific troublespots can be easily targeted! What to expect: Zeltiq Coolsculpting takes about one hour per treated area. Since no anaesthetics, needles, or incisions are needed you can head back to your normal activities right away; there is no downtime. Treated areas tend to look red and feel a bit stiff for about 20 minutes, and some

patients experience temporary bruising, numbness, or tenderness. What studies show: “Zeltiq removes 20% - 25% of the fat from treated areas, but patients say their troublespots actually shrink 40% - 50%.” “It’s producing better results than the research had predicted. Patients love it!” The catch: If you’re obese, you will not be happy with this treatment, notes Caree Ludwar, owner of New Beauty Institute. “It’s meant for people who are close to their ideal body weight and want to get rid of stubborn pockets of fat - the sort of thing that wrecks the way clothing fits. However, we have had very good results with larger belly areas on some patients.”

Surrey students offered cash prizes for best submissions

Video contest to encourage blood donations Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

A former Surrey resident is offering $800 total in cash to high school students who create the three best videos recruiting blood donors and promoting blood donation. Christine Trischuk is offering up the sizable sum, which will be divided between the three winners, through the Media Mania Challenge, in order to encourage more people to roll up their sleeves and give blood. And the timing couldn’t be better, said Trischuk, noting a decline in donations due to the flu that has hit the province. “They’re having some trouble right now with the flu that’s been going around. There have been so many cancellations and it’s really pushing their resources,” Trischuk said. “We’re hoping we can build awareness and get people to donate.” For the Queen Elizabeth Secondary grad and current Langley resident, giving blood has been a regular occurrence for the past decade. The decision to take donating seriously was spurred by the cancer diagnosis of her aunt at the age of 46. Like many cancer patients, her aunt needed platelet donations to aid in her treatment. In order to help, Trischuk began to donate at the Oak Street site in Vancouver,

which accepts platelet donations. With the treatment, Trischuk’s aunt lived on for two more years. “She lived those two years because of the treatment. Everyone knows someone who has been diagnosed with cancer, so it is something that affects us all,” she said. Following her experience donating, Trischuk was inspired to raise awareness and donations, which eventually resulted in last year’s donation of a bursary to a Surrey high school student, which was awarded on April 15. This year, rather than focusing on grades when awarding the prize, Trischuk and her co-organizer, Jeffrey O’Brien from Canadian

Blood Services, decided to create a contest that would encourage students to tap into their creative side while sharing what donating blood means to them and encouraging others to follow suit. “With the bursary, we were able to reach one student, but with this video, we will be able to encourage multiple students,” Trischuk explained. “We’re looking for something that is different.” And while Trischuk no longer lives in Surrey, she still has as strong connection through her family and friends in the city. “We decided to pick a student from School District 36 because that’s where I first started donating blood, that’s where my parents live and that’s where I wanted to give back,” she said. Video submissions should be between 30-45 seconds and should include why the student donates blood and why others should too. Prizes are awarded as $500 for the first prize, $200 for second place and $100 for third place. Students have until Jan. 31 to send submissions online to Jeffrey.Obrien@blood.ca or to drop them off at the Guildford Canadian Blood Services location at 104 Avenue and 152 Street. For more information, visit www. christinetrischuk.com

B.C. questions medical-firm takeover

Buyout raises flags Black Press

The planned buyout of B.C.’s second biggest medical lab company by its larger rival has raised questions over the implications of a near-monopoly in the medical testing field. LifeLabs last week unveiled plans to buy Surrey-headquartered BC Biomedical Laboratories for an undisclosed price. BC Biomedical has nearly 800 employees, 500 of them in Surrey, and runs 45 labs across the Lower Mainland that handle 32,000 tests daily. Toronto-based LifeLabs has 80 service centres in B.C. and does 44,000 tests per day. B.C. Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid said she’s notified the federal Competition Bureau that the province wants to closely examine the potential impacts of the deal. “We’re interested because it would mean that one private lab company would have about 95 per cent of the private lab business,” she said. A key concern is whether lab fees paid by government could go up under a single dominant provider, she said. In 2011-12, LifeLabs billed the Medical Services Plan $125 million, while BC Biomedical billed nearly $80 million. While the two firms have said there are no plans to lay off staff, MacDiarmid is also concerned the two sets of testing centres may be consolidated, reducing access for patients. “Right now patients in British Columbia have very good access – probably quite a bit better than some

Licen

of the other provinces.” MacDiarmid said B.C. isn’t yet taking a position for or against the proposed takeover with federal regulators. The two firms handle the vast majority of publicly funded medical tests not done in hospitals. NDP health critic Mike Farnworth also wants the deal closely scrutinized. “I would not want to end up in a situation where we’re on the short end of the stick – in terms of pricing and ability to negotiate deals and agreements,” he said. BC Medical Association president Dr. Shelley Ross said a price reform initiative to try to reduce lab testing fee costs for government should not be affected by the merger. “We’ve been very happy with the performance of both companies over the years,” Ross said. “We have no reason to think it’s going to change.” The deal is expected to close later this spring, subject to regulatory approval. LifeLabs president and CEO Sue Paish said in a release the operations must become more effective and efficient in light of rising demand, limited funding and a need to continue reinvesting in new technology. “We are fully aligned in our commitment to quality and continuous improvement in patient services in B.C. going forward,” added BC Biomedical CEO Doug Buchanan. BC Bio began as a partnership of pathologists founded nearly 55 years ago by Dr. Cam Coady and is now a major source of new biotechnology jobs in the Lower Mainland.

Gadgets to prevent repeat of Port Mann’s falling ice incident

Bridge gets snow sweepers Jeff Nagel

Contributed photo

Snow sweepers will be installed on the new Port Mann Bridge. snow or ice more likely to slide off. A de-icing solution has also been found that can be sprayed on the bridge cables, although Polak referred to it as more of a “last resort” as it likely means a planned closure of some lanes. The cable sweepers are being tested at Cypress Bowl and engineers say they should glide smoothly along each cable without damaging the cable sheath. They’re to be used as soon as snow starts to fall and ongoing inspections will gauge how soon cables must be brushed again. Polak was unable to provide a cost estimate, but maintained the bridge contractor will pay the entire bill, not taxpayers. Polak praised contractor Kiewit/Flatiron for their “astonishing effort” in working to quickly find a fix.

“They have put their top people on this – it’s been all hands on deck.” The so-called ice bombs incident was a major black eye for the new toll bridge, centrepiece of the $3.3-billion Port Mann Highway 1 project, just weeks after it officially opened. Inadequate de-icing of the bridge deck was also blamed for a subsequent 40-vehicle crash Jan. 3. “Over the last month, we’ve installed additional weather stations to help identify threatening weather conditions well in advance,” said Kiewit Infrastructure Group president Scott Cassels. “We must finish real-world testing, but we believe the cable sweepers, coatings and de-icing sprays will be effective enhancements to the bridge.”

The cables that hold up the new Port Mann Bridge will be outfitted with devices to clear snow buildup and prevent a repeat of the falling ‘ice bombs’ incident that terrorized motorists late last year. The custom snow sweepers are two feet long and consist of a set of wheels, scrapers and brushes that will be raised and lowered along the cables during wintry weather to remove any ice and snow buildup. They’re being installed on 152 of the 288 bridge cables that cross the roadway, starting this week. Transportation Minister Mary Polak said they’ll initially be positioned at the bottom of the cables and be manually winched up to the top and dropped back down to clear snow when required. “It clears off all the snow in a gradual manner, which was intended in the first place,” she said. Later, they’ll be positioned at the top of cables and then dropped down and back up by remote control when needed. “The initial solution may not be that elegant,” Polak said. “But we wanted to make sure we have a solution for the public.” More than 250 vehicles were reported damaged Dec. 19 by ice that fell from the bridge’s cables, which cross overtop of traffic lanes unlike the ones on other local suspension bridges. Polak said the sweepers are just one of the preventative solutions engineers are testing to ensure bridge users are safe from falling snow and ice. Four hydrophobic siliconbased coatings are being tested to determine which performs best. The intent is to coat all the cables this summer and make

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Red Chamber to give rare local performance

Group brings unique voice to Peninsula Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter

limbing onto the bus in Beijing, 11-year-old Mei Han knew she would have to stay focused to make sure her basket full of eggs, oil and rice wouldn’t tip. The half-day bus ride ahead of her was sure to be another bumpy one, and she didn’t want to lose any of the gifts she was bringing her music instructor. The gift of goods came in lieu of payment to the teacher, which was not allowed during the Cultural Revolution in China during the 1960s-’70s, for teaching Han how to play the zheng, a Chinese plucked zither. “Teachers were really poor at that time as they were not allowed to receive ❝In China, it’s tuition from students,” Han really hard said, reflecting to have an on one of individual her earliest voice.❞ memories of playing the Mei Han zheng. musician “Every time I would go to a lesson, I would bring something to give the teacher.” Now, more than 40 years later, Han’s passion for music has not faded. The Vancouver transplant has become one of the most soughtafter zheng artists in the world, playing shows in Europe, Asia and all over North America. “It’s not just about the instrument,” Han explained. “It’s about me trying to find a vehicle to express myself. It has something to do with cultural and personal background. In China, it’s really hard to have an individual voice. Most people don’t and they don’t realize that. “For me, for some reason, I was born with a rebellion inside me. I felt it was important to have my voice. I didn’t know how important until I came to Canada. Now I’ve found my vehicle.” And for those on the Peninsula

Mei Han, left, will perform with fellow members of her group, Red Chamber, at First Avenue Church Feb. 1. who want to see Han perform, there will be a rare upcoming performance with Red Chamber, the group she founded in 2006, at First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave., on Feb. 1. Joined by Han is Guilian Liu, internationally recognized as one of the world’s premier pipa (Chinese lute) players, Zhimin Yu, established as the only ruan (bass lute) virtuoso in North America and award-winning multiinstrumentalist Geling Jiang. “The members of the group have been performing for a very long

time. (Liu) is very well known in China and I knew of her in the 1980s. We lived in the same city growing up, but never had a chance to perform together in China,” Han said. “Vancouver is an immigrant hub. People you knew about and couldn’t meet in China, you meet here. It’s such a small place with so many big fish.” The group brings together the four different backgrounds of the performers to create a unique sound, even though they are not from different countries or

cultures. The music will reflect their personal experiences and create one voice, Han said. And while the group is known for its performances featuring traditional Chinese music, Han said they are also influenced by a range of music, including Cape Breton fiddle tunes, European Balkan music from Bulgaria and Gypsy jazz. “They can all be performed on our instruments and there have been many Canadian composers who have created music for us to perform, specifically.”

One major influence since coming to Canada has been the use of improvisation, which does not occur in China, Han said. The group will perform a very popular Chinese tune from the 1950s, but have created a completely different arrangement with improvisation. “It’s called Dance of the Yao People, and every Chinese person knows the piece,” Han said. “But the way we play it adds another dimension to the tune.” Han will also perform a solo piece, a traditional zheng piece called Lonely Crows Singing in the Winter Stream. A poetic title for musical pieces is another traditional Chinese practice, Han explained, adding that the goal is not to describe what the song is about but the mood that it evokes. “The title is meant to describe the nature and reflection of the person’s mood and their connection with their environment,” she said. “There are many different layers. When I perform that song, there maybe a little bit of a mood change you can hear. It depends on how I feel that night.” And for those who automatically write off Chinese music based on what they hear in restaurants, Han urges more exploration of the genre. “To be honest, I find that music offensive. It’s not a true representation of Chinese music. It’s only one of hundreds of thousands of pieces,” she said. “We will play a wide range of repertoire with this program to give different angles and touch the whole history. I think people will be surprised to hear it. It’s not just a cultural experience but an exploration.” Tickets for the show are $25 in advance and are available at Tapestry Music until Jan. 30 and online at https://tickets.surrey.ca For more information, visit www.peninsulaproductions. com or www.mei-han.com/ redchamber.html

Trio of ceramic shows at gallery Three separate art shows featuring Canadian ceramic artists opened at the Surrey Art Gallery last Saturday. The future is already here: Alex McLeod and Brendan Tang What if the cyberworld of video games entered the frame of 19th century western landscape painting? Or if Ming Dynasty-style ceramic vessels fused with the cartoon pop of contemporary anime? In Surrey Art Gallery’s new exhibition, The future is already here artists Alex McLeod and Brendan Tang deploy an arsenal of Asian and Western historical styles, science fiction, popular culture and new technologies as they combine ceramics, photography and projected video to create mesmerizing fantasy worlds that probe the boundaries

Scott Massey photo

An example of some of the pieces that will be displayed at the show. between the real and the virtual. The heart of the exhibition is a collaborative mixedmedia installation by Tang and McLeod that blends digital projection with ceramic sculpture. Each artist is also represented by a selection of independent work.

Inspired by video games, Romantic landscape paintings, and dioramas, McLeod’s surreal environments depicted in large panoramic photographs exist in their own indeterminate time and space. Tang’s colourful and wildly incongruous Manga Ormolu ceramic vessels fuse Asian and Western historical decorative styles with pop art forms derived from Japanese anime and manga. Ornamentalism: Clint Neufeld and Dirk Staschke

Dirk Staschke and Clint Neufeld’s elaborate ceramic objects are both familiar and strange: heaping mounds of fruits and vegetables showcased alongside towering trays of brightly decorated desserts, and pastelcoloured automobile engines resting atop elegant furnishings. With their rich folds, symmetries, and symbolic textures, these sumptuous candycoloured sculptures present rich visual allegories that bridge desire, labour, and

leisure. Beyond the Vessel’s Edge: Ceramics from the Permanent Collection The functional gives way to the sculptural in this collection of ceramics by artists John Chalke, Tam Irving, Ian Johnston, Sally Michener, Alwyn O’Brien, Linda Stanbridge and Diana Lynn Thompson. The exhibitions continue until March 24. Admission is by donation. The Surrey Art Gallery is located at 13750 88 Ave.

Local talent to perform at Vancouver show

Artists set to ignite youth DO YOUR FITNESS RESOLUTIONS NEED A BOOST?

Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

Peninsula performers will be working side by side with some of Vancouver’s most talented dancers and choreographers for a unique show held at the East Vancouver Cultural Centre next month. Affectionately known by patrons and staffs as The Cultch, the centre will host a slew of the area’s most talented up-and-comers for Side by Side, benefitting the Ignite! Mentorship program, which provides aspiring young artists with the chance to work on their craft and be mentored by some of the leading artists in the city. Co-organizer and former White Rock resident Edmond Kilpatrick, who also taught dance on the Peninsula, will be performing double-duty as host and performer at the Feb. 2 event. The longtime dancer and Winnipeg native originally got the idea for fusing a dance performance with a live musical performance after participating in a similar event himself. “At first glance, it’s not that big of a stretch, the idea of dancing to music. But in 2006, while I was choreographing a piece, I was invited by (co-host) Barbara Adler, who was performing with her band, The Fugitives, and she

The result was an abstract narrative with Kilpatrick on stage, incorporating the band, which became an integral part of performing the story. After finishing the show, Kilpatrick began to focus on another event to incorporate the two performing arts into one show. After brainstorming with Adler, the two agreed there should also be a charitable aspect, which led them to Ignite. “Barbara is also a mentor there and she introduced the idea to (Cultch youth program manager) Robert Leveroos, who thought

it was the perfect fit,” Kilpatrick said. Leveroos also added another dimension to the mix, by including younger artists in the mentorship program with alumni to create a more memorable experience for the performers and the audience. “It’s the best way to learn, I would say. There is nothing better than learning by doing. In order to boost their performance to the next level, we’ve given them these opportunities with professionals,” Leveroos said.

‘High stakes’ for younger artists › from page 33 Leveroos said, noting well-known local acts such as The Sumner Brothers will also be on the bill. Brothers Brian and Bob, who are based in South Surrey, heard about the show through Adler and have selected an unreleased song called River Bed as the one they will perform with dancer Krystal Kohn, with choreography created by Amber Funk Barton. “It’s an emotional ballad and the response has been really good with the audience. We wanted to to choose a really moving song, and this one made sense,” Bob said. Joining the brothers on stage will be Ignite alumna Irene Chou on the piano. “We haven’t met her yet, it’s all been through email. It’s all new to us, but we think it’s fabulous. My brother and I have started a music school in White Rock, and have always been really inspired

when seeing kids start early and be creative,” he said. “When we started playing open-mic shows in White Rock, there was already this culture of young kids being creative, writing songs and performing them. And for us, that was completely void from our upbringing.” The mentorship program is in its fifth year and includes workshops on grant writing and media relations. “It shows you how to build a career in the arts,” Leveroos said. “It’s professional. Just like this show. The stakes are high and they know it. It’s not just their peers the kids are playing for, it’s their peers’ peers and so on. “And for the audience, this performance is pretty well the only chance to see all of these high-calibre artists on stage together.” For more or to purchase tickets, visit www.thecultch.com/ content/view/393/559/

Langley Players’ production of Jim and Shorty runs until Feb. 16

Provoking laughs and thought Brenda Anderson Black Press

It’s morning in the city. Shorty rolls cigarettes on a bench while Jim looks for change in phone boxes. Big Tom is already drunk. The men trade stories about doughnuts and smokes, sisters and girlfriends, shelters and welfare. Acts of kindness follow acts of selfishness, and humour keeps pace with despair. But it’s early yet. It’s election day, and an aboriginal is running for office. Anything can happen. Filled with abundant humour and sharp insight, the upcoming comedy-drama Jim and Shorty, while a production of the Langley Players, stars two Surrey actors well known to audiences across the city and on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. Dann Wilhelm, as Jim, a man who is constantly after something, has been a mainstay of the Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society, noted for roles in The Pirates of Penzance and The Gondoliers, as well as serving as president of the organization. Jim and Shorty is his first production for Langley Players and his first non-musical play in seven years. Also new to the Langley Players is Reginald Pillay, playing the bench-bound Shorty. Pillay has also been a key player in FVGSS productions, producing the pantomimes Beauty and the Beast and Phantom of the Panto, as well as taking well-received roles in Iolanthe and H.M.S. Pinafore. His non-musical work includes last year’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Beach House Theatre) and A Talent for Murder (Stage 43). Currently, Pillay can be seen on TV or at the movies in the Encorp Return-It commercial, playing opposite a juice carton-shaped puppet. Jim and Shorty is aimed at giving a human face to life on the street, as it follows three lonely men who fumble to make a connection. But injecting comedy into such

Dave Williams photo

From left, Dann Wilhelm, Reginald Pillay and Mitch Kapustinsky. a sad and often sensitive subject requires a deft hand, both on the part of a playwright and production. Surrey’s Marko Hohlbien was certainly mindful of the balancing act he faced when he decided he wanted to direct the play, written by Canadian actor/writer Alex Poch-Goldin. It was a story he wanted to tell so badly, though, that he pitched it twice at different theatres before convincing Langley Players’ selection committee to find a space for it in their limited season. “By infusing what is essentially a very sad story with humour, the playwright has taken an interesting approach to the subject,” said Hohlbien. Generally speaking, the director pointed out, when people are living on the streets, there are issues of substance abuse or mental illness at play – often both. That’s certainly the case in Jim and Shorty, where characters “have a habit of repeating themselves and saying what we think are pretty outrageous things,” said Hohlbien. This is where much of the play’s humour arises, he added. But while audiences are laughing, they’re also feeling a certain level of discomfort about it. “At least, that’s what I’m hoping.”

VALLEY YARN

Hohlbien – who is fresh from last year’s award-winning production of Mending Fences at Surrey Little Theatre – chose the play in part, he explained, because it was written by a Canadian. “Then there is the subject matter. As I dove into it I began to notice that I knew nothing about (the plight of) homeless people.” “The writer has done a marvelous job,” he said. “It’s gentle – it’s not taking a hammer and beating you on the head with it,” said Hohlbien. “The three-member cast includes Langley resident Mitch Kapustinsky, making his Langley Players acting debut as Big Tom, an aboriginal Canadian. “Mitch is playing the part of a native. He’s not a native, but he did his homework on the subject,” Hohlbien said. “His type of energy and commitment is what I wanted.” Jim and Shorty runs Thursdays to Sundays until Feb. 16 at the Langley Playhouse, 4307 200 St. in Brookswood. Show times are 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. All tickets are $15. For reservations, please call 604-5347469, or email reservations@langleyplayers.com.

Tyus Allen aiming to lead WRCA back to top

Hoop dreams come into focus Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

o suggest Tyus Allen is familiar with the history of basketball success at White Rock Christian Academy is something of an understatement. As the son of former WRCA athletic director and boys basketball coach Scott Allen, Tyus has – quite literally – grown up on the school’s blue court. Even before he was old enough to play basketball at the high school level, he could be found after school on the empty court, lobbing up long three-pointers while his dad worked in his office in the corner of the gym. He’s studied and, whether consciously or simply through osmosis, learned the game by watching nearly every star player the school has had in the last decade or more, from Kyle Wilson to Tyrell Mara to Riley Barker – each of whom has his jersey hanging on the gym wall. He had a front-row seat for the WRCA Warriors’ last major on-court triumph, too. “When we won the provincial championship in 2005, he sat on the bench that whole game,” said Scott, now the head coach of the men’s hoops team at Trinity Western University in Langley. “He’s in the team picture.” And if you dig up the old celebration photo – or happen to see it among the many that plaster the walls of the small WRCA gym office – there indeed is Tyus Allen, a skinny-as-a-rail eight-year-old, standing behind Mara and Peter Morrison on the floor of the PNE Agrodome.

“I’ve grown a little bit since then,” Tyus laughed, when reminded of the photo. There, again, is another understatement. Tyus has grown from the skinny kid to one of the unquestioned leaders on the No. 2 AAA senior boys basketball team in the province, a team that is coming off back-to-back tournament championships – the prestigious Legal Beagle in Coquitlam and the Surrey RCMP Classic last weekend. In the RCMP event, Tyus scored 32 points in the final game and was named tournament MVP. Both head coach Dale Shury and Scott, who has returned to the WRCA fold as an associate coach, have seen a marked improvement in their Grade 12 point guard, who serves as one of two team captains, alongside fellow senior Vartan Tanelian. “It’s his maturity, more than anything else,” Shury said. “He’d always been a very emotional player, but he’s learning to control those emotions and channel them for use on the court in a positive way. “Before, sometimes his emotions would get the best of him and he’d get into foul trouble because of it and mentally take himself out of the game, but we’re not seeing those moments anymore.” Tyus agreed and, though he admits he’s made an effort to change, he said his new, calmer attitude has mostly come naturally. “I’ve just grown out of that a bit, › see page 42

Former Eagle named player-of-week One week after Surrey Eagles forward Adam Tambellini was named BC Hockey League Player of the Week, the player he was traded for earned the same award. Vernon Vipers’ Mason Blacklock – a Peninsula native

and Semiahmoo Minor Hockey alum – helped the Vipers to a pair of wins last week. First, he scored the winning goal and added three assists in a 6-4 win over the Nanaimo Clippers, and he followed up that performance with a goal

and an assist in a 3-1 win over the Cowichan Valley Capitals. Blacklock, 18, was named the first star in both games, and is currently the Vipers’ leading scorer, with 11 goals and 23 points in 38 games. – Nick Greenizan

one in the seventh for a 9-3 advantage. The Kelowna crew made a rare mistake in the ninth, allowing Knezevic to steal one and move to within three at 9-6. But it only delayed the inevitable, and Scott ran the Prince George team out of rocks in the 10th frame to seal the win, and a trip to the Scotties tournament of Hearts Feb. 16-24 in Kingston, Ont. It will be the Scott teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth appearance at the nationals, but the first with new lead curler Sarah Wazney, replacing Jacquie Armstrong who left the team last April. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited we get Sarah back for the Scotties, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge,â&#x20AC;? said Scott. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The commitment she put into the team, moving from Manitoba to Kelowna. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fantastic for our team. She fits in great, we just had to work out some kinks.â&#x20AC;? Knezevic tied for first with Scott at 7-2 in the round robin, and 8-4 overall. Of the four losses, three were to the defending champion. Her 8-7 playoff win in a semifinal Saturday night eliminated Marla Mallett of the Cloverdale club. Mallett, also 7-2 in the round robin, placed third.

sports Frozen field

A heavy frost on the ground nor fog in the air kept South Surrey’s Ricardo Echeguray and some likeminded friends from playing a pick-up soccer game at South Surrey Athletic Park Sunday morning.

‘It feels like everything’s going right’ › from page 37 that emotional state.” As the starting point guard, Tyus has been the team’s on-court leader for much of the season – “It comes with the position, like being the quarterback in football,” his dad said – but he’s also impressed both Shury and Scott with his work ethic. “Coming from his mom and me, he’s not genetically superior to anybody else, so the way he’s got here is through hours and hours of practice, and determination. His discipline is second to none,” said Scott, who admits, as a coach, he’s had to

learn to “lay off ” being overly critical of Tyus, and instead let him have his turn at running the team on the court. “When he has to be somewhere – a gym, a tryout, looking at film, at school – he’s always there. He never stops. “He understand what it takes and he works at it, and the other guys on the team do, too. They’re aiming for excellence, all of them.” That run at excellence is on the horizon, as the Warriors gear up for the playoffs and what they hope is a long run at provincials in March. “I think we’re on the upswing

and we’re all really starting to play well. Our defence is getting better, and our offense is still going strong. It just feels like everything’s going right for us right now,” Tyus said. “This is huge for me. I’ve been waiting for this since, well, for as long as I’ve been here, for as long as I can remember.” He’d love nothing more, he added, than to add another championship banner to the many that hang on his school’s gym wall; WRCA has lost two provincial finals since that 2005 victory. And maybe take a new picture, too.

Village living in South Surrey

Saving time and money at Morgan Crossing By Kerry Vital

Morgan Crossing is ringing in the New Year with a great price on all remaining Focus homes until Jan. 31. The Focus homes are two- and threebedroom condominiums in the heart of the popular village, and Director of Sales Bryan Woolley says they’ve proven to be very popular. “The homes are really well-designed,” he says, adding, “Now is the time to buy ... these homes are priced to sell.” With spacious floorplans ranging from 922 to 1,270 square feet and plenty of amazing features such as engineered wood flooring, gorgeous countertops and an open-plan layout, buyers will easily find things to love about their new home. The biggest draw of the homes at Morgan Crossing is the amazing village lifestyle that you get when you purchase here. The village has shopping, dining, community events and amenities right outside your front door. The homes at Focus are located directly above Thrifty Foods, so going grocery shopping is incredibly easy. “You don’t have to stock up on groceries if you don’t want to,” says Woolley. “It’s just two minutes from your home into the store. You can do it during a commercial break!” If you’re craving a dinner out, Morgan Crossing offers you a range of choices from White Spot to Pita Pit. When it’s time for dessert, Mink A Chocolate Cafe or Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt is right around the corner. Shopping is simple at the variety of stores at Morgan Crossing, from Jacob to Town Shoes to Winners. Even a workout is right outside, with the Steve Nash Sports Club in the village. “People fall in love with the village,” Woolley says. “It sets Morgan Crossing apart.” The community feel is especially important. “The social possibilities really attract people,” says Woolley. In fact, he notes that the events at Morgan Crossing continue to bring residents out in droves. Past events have included car shows, fashion shows and movie nights. A wide range of people have purchased homes at Morgan Crossing, from downsizers to young firsttime buyers. This makes for a good mix of people around and plenty of opportunities to chat with new people, Woolley says. Cost-savings are a big thing at

“

People fall in love with the village,” says Director of Sales Bryan Wooley. “It sets Morgan Crossing apart.” Morgan Crossing as well, as you won’t need a car to complete all of your errands, and you may find yourself entertaining at home a lot more often instead of heading out on the town because everything is right at your fingertips. This also saves you a lot of time, meaning you can spend more of it doing the things you really want to do rather than rushing around trying to get everything done before finally being able to head home after a long day. For more information, visit the real estate presentation centre at 103157755 Croyden Dr., South Surrey, next to Thrifty Foods in the village, open daily (except Fridays) from noon until 5 p.m. Condos start at just $269,900 during the promotion.

Realtor. What are those phases?

If you’re selling your home, you need to be aware that there are four critical phases of the selling process. A mistake in any of the phases can jeopardize a fast, top-dollar sale. B&W and Color version GREY background Here are the phases: 1) Pricing the property to ensure the likelihood of stimulating offers. Many people try to set a high price thinking they can come down later. That’s a big mistake because above-market pricing stifles showings and discourages offers of any kind, usually netting the homeowner a lower price than they planned on getting. 2) Marketing the property www.whiterockrealestate.ca Outstanding to attain the highest number of showings from qualified buyers.

IN MEMORIAM GIFTS

LEWIS - Lillian Mae We are sad to announce the passing of our mother, who passed peacefully on December 27, 2012 in her 83rd year. Predeceased by her husband Ralph (2008) and granddaughter Chelsea (2012). She is survived by her loving children, Bonnie (Dave), Greg (SandyJo) Jamie (Kathy) & Debbie, 11 grandchildren & 5 great grandchildren. She resided in the Sullivan area for many years where she was an active member of the community. She loved to work in her garden, both flower & vegetable, and spent countless hours raising puppies...and not to forget her love of chickens! A special thanks to all the wonderful staff at PAH, Dr. Hogg Pav. 2 for providing such wonderful care of our mother for the past few years. A celebration of life will be scheduled sometime in the Spring. We will miss you mom... forever in our Hearts!!

CLIBURN (Amor) Elizabeth L. nee Wallace It is with deep sadness and a great sense of loss that we announce the death of Betty Cliburn on January 21. Born in North Vancouver in 1916, she lived her long life in the Lower Mainland, seeing a world of changes over the years. Her father was engineer on the North Vancouver ferries for 20 years before the Lions Gate Bridge was constructed. From her childhood Betty (often called Cushie) devoted herself to her family and friends, always striving for harmony and cooperation. During the thirties she worked at a variety of short-term jobs, showing her practicality, common sense and independence of mind; during the war she worked at Boeing where her talent for dealing with people was quickly recognized and she was appointed womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s counsellor. She married Fred Amor in 1944 and over the next 25 years they raised their family in the White Rock area. Many will remember her as the Watkins lady who served the entire region throughout the 1960s. Widowed in 1972 she worked for a time in the post office, then as an aide in Berkeley Hospital for 10 years. After retiring she married Bob Cliburn, and they travelled widely until his death in 1988. Returning to White Rock, Betty enjoyed a second retirement of gardening and keeping up with old friends. Betty was predeceased by her brothers Billy, Hugh and Donald, her son Fred, and daughter-in-law Janice. She is survived by her sister Rita, sister-in-law Betty, sons Norman (Jirina), John and Lorne, daughter-in-law Nancy and stepgrandsons John and Duncan, Jeremy and Bradley, granddaughter Katrina, and many nieces and nephews and their families. We shall all miss Betty terribly. Special thanks to the staff and her friends at Weatherby 2 who attended her so well over the past years. No service by request, and no flowers, please. Contributions to the Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Society will be appreciated.

STEWART, Irene Irene Stewart of White Rock, B.C., passed away peacefully January 15, 2013 at the age of 102. Irene was much loved by her family and friends for countless reasons, including her generous spirit, sharp mind and sense of humour. Ireneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s determination and strength of character allowed her to excel both professionally and personally. She was employed by the Provincial Government for 47 years and became the Superannuation Benefits Manager in Victoria long before women were given such opportunities. She was an avid archer, tennis player and horseback rider. Irene lived life to the fullest and she has given us much to aspire to. She will be greatly missed! We would like to extend a special â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;thank-youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; to the excellent staff at White Cliff Retirement Residence, for the compassionate care received during her stay. At Ireneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request no service will be held. If you wish, a donation to the S.P.C.A would be appreciated in keeping with her love of animals, especially dogs!
