Child-porn collector had images of girl’s face superimposed on women’s bodies
Victim feared collage would be seen Sarah Massah Staff Reporter
A teenager victimized by a South Surrey man RCMP describe as “a prolific distributor of child sex-abuse images and video online” says she has lived in fear every day since the man she called “Uncle Doug” was arrested. In a victim-impact statement read aloud during a two-day sentencing hearing in Surrey Provincial Court, the
young B.C. woman – who was 16 at the time of Douglas Wayne Bowers’ arrest and cannot be identified – detailed intense emotional and psychological impact that resulted from learning Bowers had created a collage using her image superimposed on photographs of other women’s bodies alongside male genitalia. “I was scared daily in high school of people finding the photos of me,” she wrote on Dec. 7, 2011. “I live carrying
the fear of the images reappearing.” Bowers pleaded guilty in 2010 to possessing child pornography. He told police he had connected with the young woman – who prosecutor Keith Kinash noted is not Bowers’ niece – on Facebook. The collage was one of the items discovered on June 24, 2009 after an investigation by the RCMP’s Integrated Child Exploitation Team led police to Bowers’ home in the 16200-block of 40
Avenue, where he was arrested. Along with hundreds of videos and images discovered on two laptops and a memory card, at least 10 printed stories detailing sexual abuse of children were discovered on the floor by his nightstand. In previous interviews with Peace Arch News, Bowers maintained he had accidentally downloaded child images while attempting to access adult pornography. i see page 4

Lisa Van Vliet, with daughters Tayla, 6, and Annika, 5, says her children should not be subjected to the strong odour of marijuana grown next door.
Family fumes after medical marijuana grow-op allowed in residential neighbourhood
Growing concern over licensed ops Alex Browne Staff Reporter
A White Rock mother who has gone public with concerns about a licensed marijuana grow operation next door to her Marine Drive home says she’d like to encourage others to speak out when neighbourhood issues impinge on the quality of their lives. Lisa Van Vliet approached various media last
week – including radio and television stations – after being told by police and city authorities that they have no grounds to act against residents who have a licence to grow marijuana for medical purposes. Under existing licensing regulations, Health Canada is not obligated to inform either police or local governments of the location of licensed grow operations.

And White Rock RCMP say privacy concerns make it impossible for police to either confirm or comment on such situations. Van Vliet said her concern is not only the smell of ‘pot’ that’s been wafting from the house into the bedrooms of daughters Tayla, 6, and Annika, 5, from out-vents barely 10 feet from their windows. i see page 2
A pilot project aimed at regulating paddleboard and kayak rentals in Crescent Beach has drawn the ire of local rental companies that have been forced from the area. The project went into effect this summer and allows just one vendor, Squamish-based Sea to Sky Adventure Company, to rent paddleboards and kayaks to beach-goers. The City of Surrey cites safety concerns as the main reason for the change, which has left a handful of local companies out of the water. There have not been any recent incidents surrounding the local paddleboard and kayaking scene, Coun. Barinder Rasode said, but added that the city wants “to get out in front of the issue.” “We like to do our due diligence on these things,” she told Peace Arch News Friday. The operator of one local rental company disputes the idea that the recent change is driven by safety concerns, instead suggesting the project is financially driven. “If it really is for safety, well this (industry) has been operating down here for 20 years, so I just don’t buy it,” said Mike Bjorge. i see page 4

Health Canada to change rules i from page 1 Given the careless upkeep of the property next door, which includes an enclosed bunker-like concrete structure behind the house, she also has questions and concerns over fire and other safety regulations. While she has heard there are fewer than 200 marijuana plants on the property, and that they are within the growth limit for which it is licensed, that doesn’t assuage her concerns. Neither does word that Health Canada regulations are changing when current licences expire in March, and that grow operations will then have to be at regulated, non-residential sites, with permits and full notification of local authorities. “What are we supposed to do until then?” she said. “These agencies are not talking to each other. They say that as long as a licensed grower meets Health Canada regulations, there’s nothing they can do. But what are the Health Canada regulations, and who is enforcing them?” White Rock city manager Dan Bottrill said that while current regulations may have authorities’ hands tied in dealing with licensed grow operations, the city still wants to know as soon as possible when such issues have an impact on residents. There could be continuing safety problems at a number of properties within the city – including bad wiring, other fire risks, presence of chemicals and potential mould issues – as former licensed grow operations are decommissioned, he said. “The message is: we’re interested in these operations,” Bottrill said. “While we are currently limited in what we can do, we want to do our best to make sure public safety is not at risk.” Van Vliet and her family moved into their home seven months ago. In spite of the visible presence of a senior, the next door household doesn’t seem to conform to any expected residential pattern of activity, she noted. “I’m not out to slay my neighbours. I have
no problem with my neighbours. I’ve tried several times to go to them about this, but the front gate is usually locked. I’ve even flagged down one of the residents, physically, to talk to me, but all I get is ‘no English, no English.’” Van Vliet says she has seen a steady traffic of men parking in the pay lot across the street at night, walking to and from the home. “They stare up here and glare at me,” she said. “They’re dodgy.” Van Vliet is not being naive, she insists. “I lived in the West End for years. I’m not the White Rock ostrich with her head in the sand. I support marijuana rights. I’m not against people growing pot, or smoking pot, particularly for medical conditions… but I don’t want to be in danger because of others.” Since the first news reports appeared, the smell of marijuana has subsided, she said. “And last night all the lights were on, there were five vehicles parked out front and (there appeared to be) a big discussion going on.” Van Vliet said she is frequently asked whether she has fears as a result of speaking out on the issue. “I have fears for my safety, yes, but I wasn’t safe before, with this going on and the potential fire hazard,” she said, adding she and her husband are glad they own dogs and that their property is protected by surveillance cameras. “I’m not the only one who’s concerned about this,” she noted, adding that while many may be prepared to speak privately, they aren’t prepared to take a stand publicly. “I respect that, but as the mother of a special-needs child, I’m used to speaking out. You can’t live your life in fear. What am I going to do – sit down like a little victim? Fear doesn’t give you the life you want – it makes you the victim of other people’s decisions.” A Health Canada spokesperson promised PAN further clarification of current regulation and inspection policies for licensed growers, noting they should comply with municipal and provincial regulations.

Stabbing, car ramming in North Surrey bring city numbers above annual average
City records 15th, 16th homicides of year Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Surrey recorded its 15th and 16th homicides of the year, after separate altercations – a stabbing and a car ramming – last week. The first occurred at about 1 a.m. Friday, when a fight broke out at the intersection of 154 Street and 100 Avenue in Guildford. On arrival, police found two males, aged 17 and 22, suffering from stab wounds. Kyle Yellowbird, 22, of Vancouver succumbed to his injuries in hospital, while the unnamed 17-year-old was listed in serious but stable condition. Carlos, an area resident who spoke to Black Press on the condition his last name not be published, said he was asleep when the fight
occurred. The feeling of safety in the neighbourhood is gone, Carlos said, noting he used to manage an apartment building near the killing. “You would like to think this kind of thing wouldn’t happen so close to your home,” he said, adding that the early-morning violence makes him feel “like I’m in the Bronx.” Police do not believe the incident was premeditated. “The investigation is progressing and all information continues to point to this being a spontaneous event that resulted in two people being seriously injured, one fatally,” said Sgt. Adam MacIntosh of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT). Police have identified a suspect and have
seized a vehicle but, as of Peace Arch News’ press deadline Monday, no arrests had been made. The weekend’s second homicide was recorded just after midnight Saturday. Mounties were called to a parking lot near the Royal Canadian Legion at 106 Avenue and 135A Street after a man was struck by a vehicle. Officers responding found a 40-year-old Surrey man suffering from serious lifethreatening injuries. He died in hospital. Witnesses at the scene said they believed the victim was intentionally hit. Several other people were narrowly missed, they said. A suspect driver was found and arrested, and a vehicle was seized. Police say a 32-year-
old Lower Mainland man is in custody in connection with the incident. No charges had been laid as of PAN press deadline. “We want to thank those people who have already come forward and assisted in identifying the driver, leading to his quick arrest,” MacIntosh said. “We know there were a lot of other people who saw what happened and we want to encourage these people to come forward with their information.” Over the past decade, Surrey has averaged 14 homicides a year. The highest number was in 2005, when 21 were recorded. Police are asking anyone with information regarding either investigation to call 1-877551-4448 or email ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca

BNSF refutes delay claims Alex Browne Staff Reporter
BNSF is disputing claims that the railway has only recently begun planning to replace the aging bridge over the Little Campbell River on Semiahmoo First Nation land. BC NDP Leader Adrian Dix and Bill Brehl, president of the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference Maintenance of Way Employees Division, had both told Peace Arch News earlier this month that they feel the promised bridge is arriving late in the day. However, in an emailed statement to PAN Thursday, BNSF spokesperson Gus Melonas labels “false” claims that “BNSF has only now gotten serious about replacing the bridge and that local officials and the public have been misled about how long BNSF has been working to replace the bridge.” “It is long past time… to set the record straight,” he says. Melonas points to correspondence between lawyers for Semiahmoo First Nation and BNSF that show access issues relating to replacing the bridge were already under discussion in March 2012. The bridge was placed on BNSF’s internal list for replacement in 2011, he notes. Melonas also disputes allegations suggesting the bridge is not capable of handling current traffic. The main span is inspected monthly by a BNSF bridge inspector, he says, while a June inspection by Canadian Professional Engineers showed that while there were maintenance issues, there were “no items of immediate safety concern.” Maintenance this month is to replace a cracked girder bearing and span bracing and replace hardwood shims with steel shims, he said. Melonas also notes that inspections and maintenance have continued throughout negotiations with Semiahmoo First Nation. “BNSF has had engineering plans, environmental permits, and a Canadian contractor ready to rebuild the main span of the bridge, once we can gain access to the property.”

580 volunteers help farmer
Community digs in Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter
Facing the enormous task of trying to harvest thousands of pounds of produce for local food banks before it rotted in the ground, Jas Singh instead was overwhelmed by something else: goodwill. Less than a week after asking for help taking care of his crops, Singh, the operator of South Surrey’s God’s Little Acre farm, saw 580 people descend on his farm plot Saturday morning. Through the course of the day, the team of volunteers pulled more than 18,000 pounds of squash from the ground. ❝It’s not very “It really was just great – often a farmer just some amazing people, can stand in and probably double (the the middle volunteers) from what I expected,” Singh said of his fields Monday. “We were just and not see totally overwhelmed – the a single area energy that everyone brought that needs was just remarkable. These weeding…❞ people just came to work.” God’s Little Acre, at 16582 40 Ave., has been supplying produce to charitable organizations and local food banks for two years, and has expanded from an original eight acres to 34. Singh said Saturday’s work – which also included weeding – puts the farm back on a regular harvesting and maintenance schedule. “It’s not very often a farmer can stand in the middle of his fields and not see a single area that needs weeding,” he said. “But that’s what has happened. We’re all caught up now, so we can get back to a regular schedule.” Volunteer days are set to continue throughout the summer.

Child-porn images found online i from page 1 He also denied any intention of viewing the videos and images, or making any Google searches for that material. However, Sgt. Doug Collins, an eight-year veteran of the Integrated Technological Crime Unit, contradicted those claims Friday. According to Collins, forensics indicated that a number of the videos and images had been viewed more than once, and that online searches were made using keywords for child pornography coinciding with images and videos found on Bowers’ computer. Collins noted the downloads began Sept. 20, 2008 and continued up until the day before Bowers was arrested. Bowers told police that while there were sexual images of children as young as 10 on his computer, there were also images of
“older women,” the court heard. In the same interview, he said he would search for “15-, 16-, 17-, 18-, 19-year-olds” and that 50 per cent of the images and videos show individuals under 18 years old, Kinash said. Asked by officers why he would read sexual-abuse stories involving children, Bower responded: “’Cause your imagination is better than the real thing.” Bowers said he “overlooked” that the fictional character was only 10 years old. Asked if the male image in the collage was Bowers, he responded that he could not recall, the court was told. The case against Bowers has faced several delays over the years, for reasons including changes in his lawyers and cited health issues, as well as Bowers’ application to change his plea to not
guilty in March 2012 – a request he withdrew five weeks later. Crown is requesting a sentence of one year in prison, followed by two years probation and no contact with the family of his B.C. victim. In his reasoning for a yearlong incarceration, Kinash noted a number of red flags regarding Bowers, including a criminal record that includes three counts of breach of probation, as well as a perceived manipulative attitude of the justice system. “It’s difficult to lead to water, but it’s more difficult to get him to drink,” he said. Reached Monday, Bowers’ attorney, Gail Barnes, would not comment on sentencing submissions. “I don’t really like to talk about my cases in the media,” she said. Judge Michael Hicks is expected to make his decision on Sept. 16.

Smart-meter opponents planning legal action
is pleased to welcome Dr. Kristin Lee to the Peninsula Dental Centre:
Lawsuit off to ‘slow start’ Jeff Nagel Black Press
Opponents of BC Hydro’s wireless smart meters are scrambling to assemble enough people for a planned class-action lawsuit that they hope delivers a permanent opt-out from the program. As of last week, Citizens for Safe Technology’s Sharon Noble estimated 100 to 150 people are registered – a start she called slow – but added hundreds more signups are likely in progress. The provincial government has indicated those who still have analog power meters will be able to pay around $20 a month extra to continue manual meter readings, but opponents aren’t happy with the fees or Hydro indications that smart meters may still replace analog ones as they break down. “The opt-out option that Hydro is offering needs to be a legitimate one,” White Rock resident Linda Ewart said. “What they need to say is ‘If you don’t want one of these meters, you don’t need to have them.’” Noble said success in convincing a judge to certify the class-action lawsuit may hinge on how many people take part. Given the number of people who have blocked smart-meter installation or had one installed against their wishes, Noble said she would be surprised if thousands don’t join the lawsuit.
Coal fight turns to Texada Anti-coal campaigners opposed to a new coalhandling terminal in Surrey have turned to Powell River in their search for allies. The proposed Fraser Surrey Docks terminal would take coal by rail and then send it by barge to Texada Island, just a few kilometres offshore of Powell River on the Sunshine Coast. Up to eight million tonnes of coal a year could be barged there and stockpiled for transfer to ships. Activist Paula Williams said the potential increase from the existing coal shipments out of Texada could bring “serious health implications” for Powell River residents and potential marine environment damage. Port Metro Vancouver has not yet ruled on whether the new terminal can be built, but it has been opposed by Metro Vancouver and several local cities, and faces demands for a health-impact assessment. – Jeff Nagel

Victoria’s Sharon Noble hopes thousands of opponents of wireless smart meters join an intended class-action lawsuit against BC Hydro. “The courts would be very influenced by having a large number,” Noble said. “The more people we have signed on by then, the more likely the courts would look on this as being a very significant movement, as opposed to a movement of a handful.” Registering with the lawsuit costs $100. About 60,000 households have refused smart meters – less than four per cent of BC Hydro customers. The claim demands free choice “without extortive fees, coercion or conditions designed to intimidate.” Smart-meter opponents say one unresolved concern about opt-out choices is what happens if someone moves to a new home and a smart meter is already installed.
Many objectors claim health concerns or sensitivity to radiofrequency waves, though supporters point to tests that have found emissions from smart meters are low compared to other sources. BC Hydro has yet to issue its response to the claim filed July 25 on behalf of representative plaintiff Nomi Davis. Hydro officials say the lead plaintiff ’s analog meter was broken and had to be replaced for safety reasons. “BC Hydro will work through the judicial process to explain why we are obligated to replace a customer’s meter when there is potential for a safety hazard,” said Greg Reimer, executive vicepresident of transmission and distribution.

Senate expenses beg questions
T
here can be no doubt Pamela Wallin has joined a select, but unenviable, group of senators, following fallout over her “troubling” travel expenses. The ostracized few – including fellow former Conservatives Mike Duffy and Patrick Brazeau – are no longer permitted to charge travel expenses other than direct flights to and from their home ridings. Wallin’s apparent habit of charging taxpayers for sidetrips to Toronto, while travelling between Saskatchewan and Ottawa, is part of a pattern that led auditors to call for her to repay more than $121,000 of her travel claims for 2009-’12. Wallin argues auditors used 2012 rules to evaluate pre-2012 expenses and suggests some discrepancies are a result of sloppy bookkeeping. Others suggest senators were given erroneous information when they assumed their duties. None of which alters the fact that Wallin – as a former high-profile TV personality, like the previously disgraced Duffy – should have known the damage bad optics have done time and again to political figures, particularly when there is any suspicion of misuse of the public dime. It’s no secret that Wallin – like Duffy – was an appointee of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and that both were vociferous in campaigning on behalf of his party. Could that have accounted for a certain sense of invulnerability on her part? While the Conservatives have since done everything they can to distance themselves from Wallin, Harper has not escaped criticism for giving Wallin’s expenses a clean bill of health as recently as February. By May, Wallin was asked to resign from the Conservative caucus. Asked for comment on the Wallin affair, South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale Conservative MP, Russ Hiebert responded by email, also noting former-Liberal Senator Mac Harb’s fall from grace after alleged financial improprieties. “I think all Canadians have been disappointed to learn about the apparent actions of Senators Wallin, Harb and Duffy, all of who have been removed from their Conservative or Liberal caucuses.” While noting he awaits a “just resolution” of these matters at the hands of an RCMP investigation, he said these cases had led the Harper government to “toughen up” Senate rules and demonstrated the need for Senate reform. But constituents could be forgiven for asking what changed about Wallin’s expense claims, between February and May, to alter Harper’s tune so dramatically on such an ardent – and presumably useful – supporter in the red chamber.

to decline by $42 million over the next three years. Virk said post-secondary institutions working with industry have produced 456 additional seats in high-demand programs for this year. It’s a start. In July, Premier Christy Clark joined the chorus of premiers protesting Ottawa’s plan to claw back $300 million in federal training money to provinces, for its new employer-driven Canada Jobs Grant. Clark and New Brunswick Premier David Alward were assigned to find an alternative to this drastic shift and report back in the fall. As usual, the NDP spent lots of time grilling Virk about student debt and the alleged need to reduce it. Ministry statistics show that about 30 per cent of students take out loans from the federalprovincial program, and the average is $20,000. One of the latest changes is a program of grants that go toward student debt as a reward for those who complete their chosen program. With 23,000 students collecting $41 million in grants, it might be working. For all the fuss about student debt, students pay only about a third of costs. The rest is on taxpayers, whether it produces any useful education or not. Virk is under instructions to review the student loan program “to find further improvements to meet students’ needs.” Given the magnitude of the gap between what skills our education system produces and what the economy needs, a larger shift in priorities is needed.

Priorities at our borders Editor: Re: Enforce the price of savings, Aug. 13 letters. I don’t know if letter-writer Rod Baker is a active reader of the PAN, but this paper and others have reported many times of the various threats to Canadian security by terrorists and organized criminal gangs that have been thwarted at the border. We live in an age of cross-border drug trafficking, human smuggling and terrorists threats. Convicted terrorist Ahmed Ressam – who was stopped from his plans to blow up LAX airport by border officials – had entered Canada using a fake, altered French passport. Canadian border officials are better off serving the public interest by focusing on criminal and terrorists threats at our border than trying to collect $5 in tax from someone who went shopping at Target in Bellingham.

I noticed the expensive Tour de White Rock has few audience members to appreciate the efforts taxpayers put forth there as well. Pat Petrala, White Rock Q I want to thank each and every volunteer, organizer and member of the organizing committee of the Spirit of the Sea Festival this year and in every year past for the splendid, generous, contributions of time and effort, sweat and hard work, and caring community spirit they continue to give year after year. They stand in contrast to those of us – me, too – who do not appreciate what they do sufficiently, take the time to appreciate what they do or take it for granted, or lined the highways for two and three hours to flee “Beautiful B.C.” on B.C. Day and similar holidays. Stuff happens. We live with regrets, but we can do better – each of us – each year into the future. Those who gave so much are to be thanked with heartfelt thanks and honoured for who they are and what they continue to do for the benefit of all of us. Among the events missing from this year’s festival is the spectacular air demonstration in advance of
the Abbotsford Air Show of the RCAF Snowbirds, the Canadian Coast Guard Hovercraft team – albeit constrained by closing of the Jericho Beach Coast Guard Station – and the display of the history of rail, which originates White Rock itself, for which the organizers bear no responsibility we can see. Should the White Rock Spirit of the Sea Festival be organized, celebrated, enjoyed and promoted as a province-wide event presenting the best of B.C. to Canada and the world? Absolutely. Thank you volunteers and organizers for what you do. I am humbled. Brian Marlatt, White Rock
Not just a drop in the bucket Editor: Each year, one million children starve to death in this world and tens of millions go to bed hungry every night. What are we, in this so-called land of plenty, doing to help alleviate this tragic circumstance?
For virtually every national or provincial holiday, a community or some corporation sponsors what is referred to as an eating contest. Participants compete to see who can stuff the most food into themselves for some type of a champion’s cup and/or monetary gain. The type of food takes many forms – hot dogs, pizza, watermelon, cake, blueberries… you name it. It seems somewhere someone comes up with an eating contest of some kind, and the media – TV, radio, newspapers, etc. – take great delight in reporting the coming event or the results. To be very honest, I do not see any degree of entertainment in this type of so-called promotion, but look upon it as an affront to all those starving people throughout the world. This is a complete and utter waste of food and should be condemned not supported. The money used in these fiascoes could be put to better use than encouraging hundreds of people to watch and cheer on a group gorging themselves with food then throwing up in a bucket provided by the ‘sponsors.’ Dick Hulls, Surrey

How many White Rock and Lower Mainland area tourists to Kamloops say ‘I came because I saw your float?'a Pat Petrala
Volunteer spirit needs backup Editor: Re: Mayor ponders sea fest, Aug. 13. Expectations reality check: Follow the money, do the math. In addition to the costs for organizing an event and staff or volunteers, policing and insurance costs, the local parade of two hours may simply be history for many places. All volunteer groups – sports, faith, charities, non-profits, even schools – have affirmed people are not stepping up to volunteer. Consider, to build one parade float: buy a flatbed, add security safety features like stabilizers, build a creative theme with illuminated water- and wind-proof decorations, make it highway mobile to reassemble, own or rent a haul truck, pay the storage and insurance, pay extra insurance for travel and crew to events; staff with crew and perhaps royalty from your town – whether from Kamloops, New Westminster – and then at least two days for meals, fuel and one night’s accommodation. Now, tell me what return on investment sponsors and community will realize for one little parade in White Rock. How many White Rock and Lower Mainland area tourists to Kamloops say “I came because I saw your float?” Add logistics with cross-border floats, bus loads of marching bands and some of the local karate clubs, doggie clubs and simpler local features with their own costs, and will you step up and be the volunteer parade co-ordinator for 60-hour weeks in July plus 15 to 30 hours a month the year ahead? I have been there and done that twice since 1998, as well as volunteered many other years. Frankly, now I do not have the stamina now to take it on.

The Little Campbell River bridge is slated for replacement, once Semiahmoo First Nation grants BNSF access.
Respect the owner of trestle land Editor: Re: Dix, Teamsters critical of trestle timeline, Aug. 13. Adrian Dix has lost my support as BC NDP leader. He has demonstrated a lack of foresight and sensitivity to the Semiahmoo First Nation; communities in the Lower Mainland; and, our environment, with respect to interim repairs and replacement of the Little Campbell River railway bridge on First Nation Land Adrian is like the political leaders of the past who readily gave away land to BNSF railway to encourage development and profit, without negotiating a longrange deal that respected the local people and the lands. Instead of supporting the First Nation in their negotiations and looking towards the future, he chose the typical path of supporting corporate profit making at any price. I agree the railways workers should be concerned about their safety and that of its passengers and cargo. There is a choice for them as well: refuse to cross the bridge. Railways, like tar-sands pipelines, should benefit society and the environment today and into the future. They should not wreak havoc on those living nearby or in distant lands. That is our responsibility to ensure good governance.
I will support only political leaders who have the foresight to ensure that my children and grandchildren live in a good place. The Semiahmoo Nation is our neighbour, and perhaps in these negotiations we can give them our support and help stop the transfer of coal that devastate our lands, including China. John Mackintosh, Surrey Q I read with great interest the “chest thumping” by both BC NDP Leader Adrian Dix and Teamster representative Bill Brehl. Both are sorry losers in the current economy and, at best, opportunists on a front-and-center issue such as the BNSF in any way shape or form. The fact is, Dix got a thrashing in the recent provincial election and, as for Brehl, he is lucky to save his members’ collective agreements without losing members in a stale economy. Having been a Teamster, I say think outside the box, Mr. Brehl, and do more than just grandstand on land that will not create any employment for the Semiahmoo First Nation people. In your article, neither Dix nor Brehl address that they were on land that does not truly belong to them or produce employment for the Semiahmoo people. Ron Eves, White Rock

Neighbours concerned by ‘clear cut’ to make way for park
Tree removal part of plan Alex Browne
CHEVROLET PERFORMANCE STAGE
Staff Reporter
Trees removed from a planned Douglas area neighbourhood park last week will be replaced as part of the park development scheme, according to the City of Surrey’s online concept plan. Some residents had expressed concern following a perceived ‘clear cut’ of trees on the eastern side of Dufferin Park located between 2 Avenue and 3 Avenue, adjacent to 174 Street. But according to the Dufferin Park Concept Plan, intention is to replant the strip of forest on the east side of the park to “provide valuable habitat.” The existing strip of forest was to be removed as a result of “wind-firm issues,” during the construction process, which is due for completion by the fall. “It’s a little disappointing,” said area resident Rob Greenwood, who reported the tree cutting to Peace Arch News. “That sounds like a rationale for it. I imagine most people would feel it’s a shame the original trees couldn’t be kept.”

their expense. TransLink spokesperson Jiana Ling said Transit Police are critical to keeping the transit system safe and have helped reduce crime. “We’re doing our best to reduce cost and be more efficient while maintaining service delivery standards,” Ling said, adding TransLink’s executive compensation structure has been reviewed and approved by the province. “While we are not a Crown corporation, we operate prudently within government guidelines.” The transportation authority has been through multiple internal and external reviews in recent years in an ongoing search for savings. In the course of that, TransLink has slashed its upper management ranks by eliminating a dozen vice-presidents or other senior executives. Auditors, mayors and successive transportation ministers have concluded other expenses offer more potential savings than pay reforms, and that no amount of internal savings will free up the billions of dollars TransLink needs to build new rapid transit lines. TransLink’s total payroll cost last year was $54.8 million.

Patients at two Lower Mainland hospitals to be recruited for trial

SMH to test C. difficile vaccine Jeff Nagel Black Press
Two Lower Mainland hospitals that have battled high rates of C. difficile infection in recent years will be part of the first full clinical trials for a vaccine against the bacteria. Patients who are at Royal Columbian Hospital and Surrey Memorial Hospital will be offered the vaccine. Fraser Health officials say the vaccine attacks the toxins that damage the bowel, and early data shows it may produce a positive response from the body to fight off the diarrhea-causing infection, even in the elderly. C. difficile kills approximately 2,000 Canadians a year and authorities are concerned about new strains that have developed in Quebec and are thought linked to many deaths.

Surrey Memorial Hospital will be the site of one of two clinical trials for a vaccine against C. difficile. “This is an exciting opportunity to get on top of this nasty organism,” Fraser Health chief medical health officer Dr. Paul Van
Buynder. “It costs the health-care system millions of dollars to treat and control this organism, not to mention the cost to patients. “We are looking forward to running a trial of the vaccine and work towards better managing this ever-increasing challenge.” The trial will begin near the end of August and continue for 30 months. Patients expected to be in hospital over the next 60 days will be asked to participate. And others who have been in hospital at least twice over the last 12 months and have taken antibiotics will also be recruited. Several Fraser Health hospitals conducted intensified cleaning operations in 2012 in response to higher than average C. difficile infection rates.

Help with Parenting After Separation Everyone has heard of situations where parents separate and are then constantly in Court because they can’t agree on how to raise their children. The new Family Law Act has provided a new tool to try to assist families to resolve their own issues and re-establish communication between the parents – Parenting Coordinators. A parenting coordinator is a professional appointed by the Court or by the parties to assist the parties in resolving minor or chronic issues dealing with the children in order to reduce the stress experienced by the parties and the children. The issues addressed by the parenting coordinator may include conflicts over pick-up and drop-off times, holiday parenting time, school or family events and choice of extracurricular activities. A parenting coordinator can help design and modify a parenting plan to fit the needs of the children and parties, assist the parties in exchanging information and developing communication skills and, if necessary, resolve disputes in the role of an arbitrator. If a parenting coordinator may be of assistance in your situation, we suggest that you contact your family lawyer for more information.

White Rock Princess Party expanded to include boys
A party suited for royalty
The Cocktail Party of the Year Benefiting the Peninsula Community Foundation
at www.peninsulafoundation.ca
Sarah Massah Staff Reporter
A royal invite has been extended to kings, princes and knights to step inside White Rock’s own world of enchantment Aug. 24 at the fourth annual Princess Party. The magical event, created by Myra Merkal, is a day of fun and learning for the pint-sized royalty, which in previous years were exclusively girls. This year, Merkal and co-organizer Alyssa Nielson decided to include boys ages two to five in the fun in order to reach out to as many members of the community as possible. “Every year, the meaning of what we’re doing gets deeper,” Merkal said. “We want to touch more families and the way to do that is to invite the boys.” The Princess Party – which Merkal noted may undergo a name change in coming years – includes typical fun fare such as face painting, games and treats, however, the day is also an opportunity to teach about inner qualities, she said. “We look at it as potential for bringing the children and parents in our effort to build a positive community, because it starts with the children,” she said. “The activities will include a cake walk that focuses on courtesy, with children walking on words such as ‘please,’ ‘thank you’ and ‘manners.’ “It shows the children the impact they can have on others and hopefully, parents can watch and carry that on at home.” The party also raises funds for an all-abilities park on White Rock’s waterfront – the brainchild of Merkal’s son and White Rock firefighter Evan Bird. Last year, the party brought in more than $11,000, with Merkal hoping to beat that amount this time around. Helping her reach that goal will be members of the White Rock fire department, who will be on hand for the day, as well as the White Rock chapter of Job’s Daughters and the White Rock Youth Ambassadors.

Ocean Park celebrates
Day in the park A change to the date of a long-running tradition in Ocean Park is being hailed a success. Organizers of the Ocean Park Business Association’s Ocean Park Day – held Saturday in and around 128 Street and 16 Avenue – said this week that a decision to move the 14th annual event to Aug. 17 from its usual June time slot was “definitely” a good one. There was “great talent,
lots of energy, good crowds,” said event chair (and Peace Arch News ad rep) Kathi Nicholson. Nicholson said two years of poor weather on the festival’s June date prompted the change. Crowds that turned out Saturday enjoyed a warm breeze and overcast skies. Festivities included facepainting, music, gymnastics demonstrations, a marketplace and giveaways.

The Surrey Storm ’99 finished on the podium at the 2013 U14 Girls Fastpitch Jamboree last weekend in Montreal. The Storm won the bronze medal in the tournament’s Cup Division, finishing with an overall record of 7-2. The Storm – who entered the tournament as B.C.’s second seed, behind the provincial champion White Rock Renegades ’99 – were a perfect 5-0 during the round-robin. In their first playoff game Saturday morning, they dropped a 10-6 decision to the Guelph Gators, before rebounding later
in the day with back-to-back wins over the Brampton Blazers and Waterloo Gold. On Sunday, Surrey was bounced from championship contention after a loss to the Pickering Heat. Pickering went on to lose to Guelph in an all-Ontario championship game on Sunday evening. Like their crosstown rivals, the Renegades ’99 were also a perfect 5-0 in the roundrobin, but dropped two playoff games Saturday – 3-1 to Pickering and 4-3 to Waterloo. – Nick Greenizan

will), this can be a very time-consuming role. Essentially, the Executor gathers up the estate assets, pays the debts of the deceased, and divides the remaining assets of the estate among the beneficiaries as specified in the Will or as provided for in the Estate Administration Act (to be replaced by the Wills, Estates and Succession Act in March 2014). The first step for an Executor is often making the appropriate funeral arrangements based on the deceased’s known wishes, or that of their close relatives. Credit cards will have to be cancelled and appropriate insurance obtained for real property and automobiles. In order to have legal authority to begin distributing the estate assets, Probate or a Grant of Administration must be obtained from the Courts. This process will commence with notifying all the potential beneficiaries and submitting the appropriate

probate documents to the Court along with a Probate filing fee. The Executor should then contact the Canada Pension Plan in order to obtain any death, survivor, or orphan benefits. Income tax returns must be filed and paid in full. When completed, a tax clearance should be obtained prior to distribution of the estate to the beneficiaries. Once an individual begins the process of dealing with estate assets, they are legally bound to complete the process and can only be relieved of this duty by an order of the Court. Notably, an estates lawyer will often be required to assist the Executor/Administration with performing some or all of the tasks required in settling an estate.
