Bridge vote sought

‘Nothing worse than a whiny Canadian…’

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Some Metro Vancouver mayors say a new bridge announced by the premier to replace the Massey Tunnel should be subjected to a referendum like the one the province promises to give voters a say on new TransLink taxes. Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore said mayors will ask Transportation Minister Todd Stone at a meeting today (Thursday) if the new Highway 99 bridge will be tolled and if authority for tolls would also go to a referendum. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson has also raised the notion of a referendum on the bridge, which he warned could consume billions of dollars and bump back expanded rapid transit as the region’s top priority. It’s not yet clear if mayors are raising the issue mainly to pressure the province to change its course on the TransLink referendum – which they oppose – or if they believe it stands a better chance of passing if the Massey bridge is thrown in the mix, giving drivers more reason to vote yes. Moore said a dual-issue referendum seems logical but cautioned that voters on the North Shore or northeast sector who make little use of the Deas crossing might vote down the whole package. “Most of us are not fans of the referendum to start with, so this just, frankly, complicates it,” Moore said of the bridge announcement. He said he hopes Stone indicates what the question will be, when it will happen and “what’s the plan B if the referendum fails.” Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said it’s a “forgone conclusion” that the new bridge will come with tolls to pay for it. i see page A5

s there a culture of anti-Canadian, anti-immigrant attitudes among some U.S. Customs and Border Protection members? According to Bellingham immigration lawyer Greg Boos, there is – and, he says, it’s a factor in border inspections, including questioning about marijuana use. In late August, Boos filed a U.S. lawsuit on behalf of business leaders on both sides of the border, seeking to curb an ‘expedited removal’ process that allows CBP members to arbitrarily bar Canadians from entering the U.S. for at least five years. And he cites a job-forum website, on which apparent current CBP members post under pseudonyms, as indicative of the mindset of some. A comment ❝Our lobbies thread about his case on are full of TN the website, ‘US Customs & Border Protection (trade NAFTA) Job Forum’ (http:// applicants, forums.delphiforums. it makes me com/customsinspect), is sick!❞ posted under the message category ‘CBP & DHS in Comment at job the News’ (“Overzealous forum for guards U.S. border guards…”). “You can see people who are clearly CBP officers using pseudonyms… and they are definitely anti-immigrant,” Boos told Peace Arch News. “They shouldn’t be on the job. The one thing I regret is that you can’t figure out who these people are on chat forums.” Among postings is one from ‘Btacr’ referring to one expedited removal: “No problem at all… looks like OFO (CBP Office of Field Operations) is kicking ass.” ‘Rob S Pierre’ posts: “Canadians that assert their right to come to the US amuse me.” ‘INSI’ says: “Nothing worse than a whiny Canadian who thinks they have every right in the world to live here because they are Canadian.

Premiers often make major announcements at the UBCM convention. There will be plenty of discussion about TransLink in the coming months, as there is more dialogue about a referendum that is scheduled to take place next year. In addition, transit service on Highway 99 is and will be much less frequent than it should be over the Port Mann. That’s simply because the population of Delta, South Surrey and White Rock is much lighter than in the remainder of Surrey and Langley, and the Fraser Valley beyond. Growth will be on a smaller scale in the areas served by Highway 99. The Highway 1 corridor is where the emphasis on transit needs to be – along with expanded rapid transit in Surrey. The buses that use Highway 99 now connect to the Canada Line at Bridgeport station, and the new bridge will simply make the bus trip even faster. A new bridge will in no way impede transit service. It is important that farmland in Richmond and Delta is not impacted by the new bridge, but given that it is replacing a tunnel, that should be much easier to achieve than if a second bridge was involved. The premier has identified a need and is working to do something about it. That’s good news for the fast-growing population south of the Fraser River.

Trial starts next week and is expected to last a year

Surrey Six goes to court, six years later Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Ed Schellenberg

Chris Mohan

It was around 4:30 in the afternoon on Oct. 19, 2007 when the Surrey Fire Department got the call. There was a report of several unconscious people in a 15th floor suite of a Surrey apartment building – possibly the result of a gas leak. When crews arrived, it was much more than that. Firefighters realized they had arrived at a grisly crime scene. Sometime earlier that afternoon, six men had been shot and left to die in apartment 1505 of the Balmoral Tower. Four of the deceased were young men known to police as gangsters with links to the drug trade. Dead were Edward Narong, 22, Ryan Bartolomeo, 19, and brothers Corey and Michael Lal, 21 and 26, respectively. The other two, however, were regular

people with regular lives – simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. The killers, police speculated, didn’t want to leave any witnesses to the execution of the other four men. Abbotsford gasfitter Ed Schellenberg, 55, was servicing gas fireplaces in the building that afternoon. He’d been working at the highrise all week. Christopher Mohan, 22, lived in a neighbouring suite on the 15th floor with his parents and sister, and was off work that day. He was planning to play basketball with friends the afternoon he was gunned down. The mass murder – with two innocent victims caught in the crossfire – shocked officers, who appealed to others in the gang underworld for their assistance. “The despicable persons responsible for these crimes do not deserve your

respect,” said Insp. Wayne Rideout at the time. “They do not deserve your loyalty and they do not deserve your protection.” As the months wore on, the victims’ families weren’t told much but were reassured to have faith in the process. Finally, in April 2009, Red Scorpion gang associate Dennis Karbovanec pleaded guilty to three counts of second-degree murder, for killing Mohan, Bartolomeo and Michael Lal. The next day, police announced more charges and the arrest of James (Jamie) Kyle Bacon, the youngest of the notorious trio of Bacon brothers, as well as New Westminster’s Matthew James Johnston and Cody Rae Haevischer, from Nanaimo. Quang Vinh Thang (Michael) Le, who had fled to his native Vietnam, was arrested two months later. And a sixth,

Cloverdale’s Sophon Sek, was arrested and charged with manslaughter in November 2009. Karbovanec is serving a life sentence with no chance of parole for 15 years. Haevischer, Le, Johnston, and Bacon all face first-degree murder charges, as well as conspiracy charges. Haevischer, Johnston, and Le are being tried together starting Monday in Vancouver Supreme Court. Bacon, who is currently serving time on unrelated weapons offences, is being tried separately, but a date has yet to be set. All have been in custody since their arrests, except Sek, who has been out on bail and is due in court in January. Haevischer, Le, and Johnston will be tried by judge alone. The trial could last as long as a year and involve up to 20 Crown and defence lawyers.

Inaction opposed

Robinson derides rail reply Boaz Joseph photos

Digging in

Staff Reporter

In the wake of “a great deal of controversy” surrounding pedestrian safety on White Rock’s train tracks, one politician is calling for the city to clarify its legal responsibilities. In making the suggestion during Monday’s council meeting, Coun. Larry Robinson said a letter received from Transport Canada asking for a review of the city’s whistle-cessation arrangement “may imply the duty of care has shifted.” “It seems that the onus has been shifted by Transport Canada to municipalities” and BNSF, he said, adding that the statements “may be leaving us vulnerable.” The Sept. 6 letter asks that the city and BNSF undertake “a comprehensive safety review of the crossings currently granted whistle cessation.” The request came seven weeks after White Rock jogger Anita Lewis was killed as she attempted to run across Marine Drive tracks. In a Tuesday email, Robinson criticized as “irresponsibly misplaced” statements by Mayor Wayne Baldwin, by fellow councillors and in a Peace Arch News editorial regarding the request for safety measures. Baldwin has said he “will resist, fully” any dramatic changes to the waterfront, including fencing and signal arms; Monday, Couns. Al Campbell and Grant Meyer voiced similar opposition. Robinson said he is supportive of preventative safety steps beside and crossing the rail line. “This is not an adversarial situation against unseen bureaucrats in Ottawa. This is not about the city choosing its victims to justify inaction. This is about the City of White Rock collaborating with BNSF and Transport Canada to provide a safer environment for a sadly predictable and uniquely dangerous rail and citizen environment.”

Community gardens hit by thievery Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

At least two more community gardens on the Peninsula have been targeted by thieves. The Ruth Johnson Community Garden – located on Vine Street, just east of Centennial Park – and a small community garden on 156 Street near King George Boulevard are the latest green spaces that have been hit by thieves. Last month, members of the White Rock and Surrey Naturalists spoke out about the constant thefts at the Eva Bene Butterfly Garden in White Rock, noting there was no viable way to ward off thieves who removed dozens of plants from the volunteer-run space. According to White Rock green thumb and children’s entertainer Max Tell, their story is not a unique one. Over the last two years, the Ruth Johnson Community Garden, where he and his wife have a plot, has been the target of vandals and thieves. “Last year, we had sunflowers that had their heads broken off, we had a couple of plants in a planter and folks had taken them and dumped

The forum host, listed as Former CBP Guy (MichCI), says in the disclaimer that the site is principally an exchange of information for those seeking work as CBP officers, and that it welcomes posts from CBP members and others. Contacted by PAN, the host said it would not be prudent for him to comment, as he still works in law enforcement. He did not identify himself. CBP representatives have repeatedly declined to be interviewed on how individual members apply policy, particularly pertaining to

narcotics enforcement â&#x20AC;&#x201C; instead offering a statement that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the United States has been and continues to be a welcoming nationâ&#x20AC;? and that regulations are there to protect U.S. citizens, residents and visitors. But Boos said the website postings indicate attitudes that are far from appropriate for CBP members in charge of handling visa applications â&#x20AC;&#x201C; adding the antipathy of some of these officers evidently extends to border checks seeking admissions of past use of controlled substances. He agrees last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case of a White Rock woman deemed inadmissible to the U.S. because of admitted previous marijuana use illustrates that the treatment received by Canadians at the border is luck of the draw. Boos said that although some CBP members appear in favour of facilitating international trade, others appear to consider it their job to turn people away. And while Washington State residents recently approved an initiative legalizing marijuana on a state level, Canadian visitors shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be lulled into the belief that such liberalization of laws applies to them, Boos said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still illegal at the federal level,â&#x20AC;? he noted. Although U.S. federal authorities have indicated they

will take a passive approach to state-legalized marijuana use by Washington residents, he said, any admission by a Canadian that he or she has smoked marijuana constitutes an admission of being a lawbreaker in Canada; sufficient grounds for CBP members to declare a visitor â&#x20AC;&#x153;inadmissible.â&#x20AC;? Boos said Canadians should also be aware that, outside of a conviction or their own admission, the burden of proof that someone has committed a crime under Canadian law falls upon the authorities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not telling anyone to lie,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if I were asked at the border if I had smoked something in the past, my answer would be no. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a botanist.

Bus use surprisingly strong through tunnel: TransLink

Traffic patterns ‘back span’ Jeff Nagel Black Press

The provincial point man in charge of replacing the Massey Tunnel with a new bridge is rejecting criticism that the megaproject will merely shift the Highway 99 traffic jam to the Oak and Knight Street bridges. Geoff Freer, executive director of the Gateway Program, said data so far shows most northbound tunnel traffic doesn’t enter Vancouver – 60 per cent of motorists using it go between Richmond, Surrey, Delta, the U.S. border or the BC Ferries terminal in Tsawwassen. In the past, he said, replacement of the tunnel with a highercapacity crossing was ruled out on the basis it would just move the bottleneck. But traffic patterns have changed greatly, Freer said following the premier’s Sept. 22 announcement. “I was surprised,” he said of the findings, but added they reflect strong economic growth in the three cities.

End of the line coming for tunnel. Another key change is the Canada Line, which opened in 2010. It draws many Vancouver-bound commuters who previously drove over the Oak Street bridge through the tube to Bridgeport Station in Richmond. Freer said TransLink counts show half of those travelling through the tunnel in the morning rush hour do so aboard buses. That reflects the ability of buses to bypass congestion using bus-only lanes and queue jumpers. Even the day-long average share of trips taken by transit through the tunnel is strong at 26

per cent, he said. Adding to the numbers are BC Ferries passengers who increasingly walk on and ride a bus. Critics have warned the new bridge could set back transit, making it easier to drive instead, while sucking away billions of dollars that could otherwise build new SkyTrain or light-rail lines. Freer argued it will improve transit by giving buses dedicated lanes. The project would also be designed for future rapid transit. Freer confirmed the project could cost in the order of $3 billion, in line with the Port Mann/ Highway 1 project. As for whether the new bridge would be tolled like the Port Mann, he said more work is required to decide that. Adding that tolls would affect use of the bridge – Freer confirmed that will have to be explored as part of detailed traffic modeling next spring. Engineers will consider upgrades along the length of Highway 99 from the U.S. border to Richmond.

Fair, equitable road pricing: Watts i from page A1 And while she strongly supports building the new high-level bridge to decongest traffic and let oceangoing ships sail upriver, Watts said she believes the premier’s election promise on a referendum extends to a new bridge toll. “I’m just going by what the premier said during the election – that if anybody is expected to pay any additional tolls or transit infrastructure fees it should go to a referendum,” Watts said. The mayor said she can’t support another high toll like the $3 (as of December) to cross the Port Mann Bridge, but promotes a consistent system of smaller tolls on more crossings, or possibly some form of road pricing.

“I think it needs to be fair and equitable across the region,” Watts said, adding she intends to raise the issue with Stone. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson predicts most would accept smaller tolls applied fairly on all bridges, even though charging on existing bridges would require the province to change its tolling policy. “If a toll for everyone of 75 cents or $1 could be incorporated over the region, I believe that everyone would feel they were paying their share as a member of the driving public,” Jackson said. Jackson and Moore both warned adding a new toll only on the Massey bridge would put enormous pressure on the Alex Fraser Bridge as a free crossing.

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said the premier’s Sept. 22 bridge announcement will intensify the debate over road pricing. Road pricing isn’t expected to be on the referendum ballot – it would take years of study to flesh out – but quicker-to-implement sources for TransLink could include an annual vehicle levy or a small regional-sales tax. Brodie raised concerns about the loss of farmland and questioned whether the bottleneck now at the tunnel would just move towards the RichmondVancouver border. He called for more steps now to improve transit on the corridor, rather than waiting until a projected 2022 opening date.

Residents better served by longer terms

number of interesting motions and discussions arose from last week’s annual Union of BC Municipalities convention, including a proposal calling for extending terms of office for mayors and city councillors from three years to four. Bring it on. Anyone who has regularly watched municipal politicians in action or has served on such a board knows the avalanche of information the newest members must absorb. On top of learning the history of past decisions and choices to create the proper context for making good decisions, rookies must try to memorize the process and learn how best to work within those confines to be the most effective. It is a safe estimate to say it takes between one and two years – minimum – for an elected official to reasonably understand how to do the job. This means they’re only sufficiently proficient to best represent the people who put them in office for about one year of their threeyear term. Extending a term by another year will give residents better bang for their tax buck, reduce election costs and council turnover and put municipalities in sync with provincial elections. This timing would also aid in limiting the costs some municipalities have had to accrue once a current mayor or councillor wins a provincial election, which, obviously, triggers costly byelections, such as the one about to happen in Coquitlam to the tune of around $140,000. The proposal passed with a 60 per cent approval rate, with one rural delegate stating the idea came from “professional politicians” in the Lower Mainland, where pay is higher. While that may be true, it doesn’t change the fact that this is an idea whose time may have come. And it’s not as though there isn’t precedent for this in Canada. If such a plan is enacted, B.C. would fall in step with every other province except for the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Overall, we would be better-served by having longer terms, both in terms of effectiveness of politicians and money saved by having fewer elections.

are myriad rivers, streams and relatively pristine environments that are traversed by rail lines. Wildlife, level crossings, trestles and winter weather are all hazards to train traffic while, underground and in properly engineered river spans, a pipeline can move product in relative safety. What does need to change with the pipeline proposal, however, is the coast terminus. Kitimat is not the best option, given the island-choked route to open ocean. Extending the pipeline to Prince Rupert is the much better choice. It is only one island away from an obstacle-free route to Asia. Kitimat may be fine for ships laden with aluminum ingots and perhaps even for LNG tankers. One product sinks, the other evaporates. Spilled oil, on the other hand, is proven to be a catastrophic environmental disaster – and we have to look no further than Alaska’s Prince William Sound and the Exxon Valdez. Regardless, a transportation mode will be adopted, because “one way or another” – there’s that phrase again – revenue generation for our federal government, provincial governments and our way of life, requires it. Stopping development of the tar sands and leaving natural gas in the ground simply won’t happen. Therefore, rhetoric needs to be set aside and sensible dialogue prevail to ensure the safest and best methods of transportation are both chosen and mandated.

Nothing short of sensationalism Editor: Re: Motorcycle kills pedestrian, Sept. 19. Thank you for your painting of a motorcycle in a negative light. Your headline of “motorcycle kills pedestrian” is, in my opinion, nothing short of sensationalism. Yes, it did happen that the unfortunate death of a bright, young woman ended as headlined – but it untruthfully paints the motorcycle and rider as the instigator of this unfortunate accident. Your headline demonstrates you have replaced our traffic investigators as judge and jury. Not once in your story is the fact of students, and others, illegally jaywalking across this road daily, or that Surrey had looked into the possibility of putting a convenient crosswalk here and passed over it. Let’s get back to responsible journalism. Bruce Elrick, Surrey Editor’s note: As the article noted, the cause of the previous day’s collision remained under investigation as Peace Arch News went to press hours later. Officials continue to look into what led to the tragedy.

education system, health care programmed, elevate child poverty, domestic violence, drug trafficking and many more matters. Banning religious appearance is not a service that the public deserves. Instead, build a constructive platform where each Canadian would obtain an opportunity to become strong, united and prosperous part of the nation. Hanif A. Patel, Surrey Q Those who had the honour to be liberated by the Canadian Forces in the Second World War have tears in their eyes remembering the power of the far right of fascism as presented by Herr Adolf Hitler. Reading about the direction the politicians in Quebec City are taking, we all know about the 1982 Constitution. Quebec refused to sign, even though it was drafted by three Québécois – Pierre Trudeau, Jean Chrétien and Jean Marchant. Today, Quebec is eager to enforce more of the content, which started with restricting the use of the English language, building on that year after year, costing Canada billions, now followed by a topdown ruling banning the visual showing of a religious commitment. Small steps at the time will create a dictatorship funded by all of Canada, under the so-called 50/50

agreement, a matter the in-name democratically elected government in Ottawa refuses to deal with. Where are the English-speaking premiers, as there is only one province that is officially bilingual, New Brunswick. The premiers would be right to limit sending money to Ottawa. Suan H. Booiman, White Rock

Visual warning the solution Editor: Re: Feds want train-whistle review for White Rock, Sept. 19. Early Friday morning, at 3 a.m., I was most rudely awakened by the familiar “honking” of the train. And make no mistake, it is not a whistle; it is a loud horn that will catapult you out of your bed. I was totally distraught, as I was not able to get back to sleep after that and, like everyone else, I need a good night’s sleep to function well the next day. I inquired with city hall as to let me know why this laying of the horn was necessary at that hour of the night. I wondered whether it was in any way related to the article that was in Thursday’s paper, where

Transport Canada are asking for a review of the overnight hours. Apparently, in August 1992, train whistling at crossroads was restricted between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. I could argue on that one, because if you ask anyone on the hillside they will agree that the “horn” is honked often between those hours, particularly on the weekend. Most times it is just put up with it, particularly on the weekends when you know there might be some young people partying in the park during the late hours. I understand this review was prompted by the unfortunate death of the young woman who was jogging near the tracks this summer (White Rock jogger killed by train, July 16), however that was at 9:45 p.m. and it was still dusk and visible. What I and hopefully others will agree is needed is more visual “hazard indicators,” such as flashing red lights at the crosswalks. I think those would draw more attention, taking all the onus on the ability to hear the train horn. Living on the hillside of White Rock provides a beautiful view, but the downside of it is the coal dust coming from the train, as well as the noise we have to put up with. The high taxes we pay should give us some input on these issues. D. Barros, White Rock

Freedom of expression Editor: In Quebec, prevailing political dogma to put a ban on religious appearances at public premises is controversial and a comedy of errors. It is an absolutely ridiculous act to deprive the supreme right of freedom to practise religion in public sector. Thus such type of charter erodes the true value. It can be viewed as the character of rights turning into the charter of fights for the people. The matter is grim and needs to be scrutinized carefully. How does a religious symbol play the deterrent role while performing official duty? So far there is no evidence that an employee with a full faith fails to offer faithful service or creates unnecessary obstacles? So then, which force compels them to impose a ban? Whether it is state affairs or private affairs, people should be allowed to fulfill their religious obligation without any squalid political policy – because multicultural has became core component part of Canadian vibrant society. The draconian measures can be classified as a segregation factor, not an integration. People elect their representative who can discuss important issues that benefit, not petty issues that hurt the religious sentiments. It is a colossal shame to see the tax money and time wasted behind the trifle task and separate the society. In front of us, numerous challenges need to be addressed accordingly. We should give them priority to resolve and amplify effort in the direction to improve

Longboards – as a mode of transportation – are safe for the streets of White Rock, writes Michael J. Klaver.

Safe for runners, cyclers, boarders Editor: Re: Safer places to learn skills, Sept. 19 letters. The writer of the letter to the editor suggests the streets of White Rock are not a safe place for people to skateboard, and that they should practise their skills at the skate park in South Surrey until they are sufficiently skilled enough to compete in a proposed – at least in the letter – race similar to the Tour de White Rock. There are several problems with this logic. Firstly, while the skate park is a good place for a skateboarder to practise tricks on a short board, it is not designed – nor is any skate park designed – for longboarders. The skateboarders some people are concerned about lately are longboarders; they do not ride short trick boards and the skate park is no use to someone using a longboard. Longboards are not designed for tricks – they are a mode of transportation and are designed for carving turns, not tricks. As an aside, it is too bad the citizens of White Rock must leave the city in which they pay high taxes to find a place like this, and I commend Surrey for investing in

its youth and providing facilities for them. The writer asks, “What chance does a kid on a skateboard have with a heavy truck or speeding car without injury?” I would suggest about the same chance a kid going out for a run, or a bike ride would, and we do not ban these activities. If the streets were inherently incredibly unsafe for skateboarding, we would see an epidemic of accidents in this city, which we do not. The vast majority of riders do so in a safe, responsible and accident-free manner. We need more kids playing outside, getting the exercise they need, not restricting their access to healthy activities. And, by the way, not all longboarders are “kids.” Some are adults – even old guys like me with grey hair – who ride safely and responsibly on the streets their tax dollars pay for. The current environment where pockets of people rush to try to get activities banned which they do not care for and do not understand is greatly concerning. Michael J. Klaver, White Rock

OPEN FOR THE FALL

White Rock council remains divided over vote-rescind motion

Legal-opinion call quashed Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A call for a second legal opinion on White Rock council’s recent decision to rescind a July 15 vote regarding relocating council chambers was defeated at city hall Monday night. Coun. Helen Fathers motioned for the opinion “due to the preamble Helen Fathers accompanying (the Sept. 9 motion) and the disclosure of a named business and its intent.” She also cited a failure to follow protocol. Bill Lawrence Fathers was referring to a motion by Coun. Bill Lawrence to withdraw his affirmative vote on July 15, when council voted 4-3 in favour of moving its chambers into a cityowned building at 1174 Fir St. and directing staff to invite expressions of interest for shared use of the space. Lawrence – after seeking a legal opinion on whether he could change his vote – told council he was swayed after learning that a waterfront IT company sought more space, and may be

He later told Peace Arch News the move was simply about “doing right by the taxpayers of White Rock,” as it would save the city significant money. Fathers and Couns. Larry Robinson and Al Campbell voted against Lawrence’s motion. It carried with Mayor Wayne Baldwin and Couns. Grant Meyer, Louise Hutchinson and Lawrence in favour. In the days following, both Fathers and Robinson were critical of the process leading up to the vote, calling for a special council meeting to “find out what’s transpired behind the scenes.” That call was withdrawn soon after, however, their concern

remained. In supporting Father’s motion Monday, Robinson referenced a two-inch-thick binder of documents council members inherited when elected in 2011. Each blue page represents legal issues that came about “because procedures weren’t followed,” he said. He added that the issue of where council chambers is located is no longer key in the matter. What is important is that decisions are impartial, at arms length and in the best interest of the city, he said. “What does matter is how we do the process.” Fathers’ motion failed on a 4-3 vote, with Baldwin, Lawrence, Hutchinson and Meyer opposed.

‘Too much density’ for White Rock: council

Coach-house project halted Tracy Holmes

Get your body back promoƟon!

Staff Reporter

$50 for a treatment to see how Zerona can beneĮt you!

A proposal to build four homes with coach houses on two North Bluff Road lots has been stopped in its tracks. White Rock council voted Sept. 9 to deny a request to amend zoning that would have facilitated the project at 14022 and 14034 North Bluff Rd. But proponent Milt James promised the roadblock is not the end of the matter. “If they turn this down, I’ll have to look back at commercial again,” the senior said during a public hearing on the proposal held immediately prior to the council meeting. James, who lives in South Surrey, had requested rezoning from the current one-unit residential designation in order to facilitate the project. Opponents cited concerns including increased density and the impact on green space. In discussing the application, council members also voiced concern with the project’s density. “I just can’t support it,” said Coun. Larry Robinson, noting his concern is with the coach houses, not with subdivision of the lots. “I don’t think we need that much density in this area.” James, however, disputed that it

Milt James appeals to White Rock council to allow the construction of four homes with coach houses on two lots he owns. would have the suggested impact. “It’s not increasing density very much, it’s just giving a different concept to White Rock,” he said during the public hearing. “I think the coach houses should come. It’ll help White Rock. They can’t stick to condos all their life.” Of others who voiced opinions during the public hearing, the majority opposed the application; in addition to James, two spoke in favour. Architect Chip Barrett described the proposal as “a

really good fit for this area… a busy neighbourhood centre with walkable services and transportation.” Barrett added that concerns heard in June around the possibility of basement suites being added to the homes after the fact have been addressed. “The project will add to the residential character of the neighbourhood. It’s designed for families,” he said. Council voted unanimously to deny giving the application third reading.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

South Surrey resident shares canine expertise with others

Trainer throws dog owners a bone Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter

andra VanDeKinder knows more about dogs than you can shake a stick at. For the last 13 years, the South Surrey resident has been teaching dog-obedience classes for the City of Surrey, and in her spare time can often be found with her miniature pinscher, Buckshot, and her Doberman, Tess, both 12. And with an increasing dog population on the Peninsula, VanDeKinder hopes to share her expertise to ensure owners get the most out of their relationship with their four-legged family member. “Owning a dog should be a joy and a comfort. It should be a pleasure in your life,” she said. “For the most part, if you don’t train the dog and show them the rules and where the boundaries are, they’re going to take free reign and it’s going to be miserable owning a dog. And I don’t think that’s why people get a dog.” Operating out of Sunnyside Community Hall, VanDeKinder will host four seven-week sessions for the City of Surrey with Margaret Warren, who has more than 35 years experience working with dogs. The duo will hold two sessions in the fall, one class in the winter and one for the spring.

Wine Run raises 7K Dan Ferguson Black Press

About 90 people paid the fee to participate in the first-ever Campbell Valley Wine Run fundraiser in South Langley on Sunday, but only 60 actually showed up in the rain for the morning 14-kilometre tour of local wineries. The no-shows still contributed to the estimated $7,000 in donations that will be shared between two charities; Pacific Riding for Developing Abilities and Critter Care. Most showed up in costume for the

event, which was organized by Peninsula Runners of White Rock. Alex Taylor of Langley won best costume for showing up as a “onenight stand” complete with wearable side table, bottle of wine and lampshade for a hat. A group of six Richard Simmons impersonators won for best team costume. Langley Township mayor Jack Froese took part in a formal “Lord Mayor’s” outfit complete with top hat.

Case Study: 37 year old Caucasian female presented with a 20+year history of chronic migraine type headaches (3-4 weekly) and was being treated at a Headache Clinic in the lower mainland with a combination of Anti-depressants, NSAID’s, Triptans, and Botox but, her migraines were not improving. In late January, 2012, patient received a complete NM workup utilizing K7 equipment, a CT scan of her TM Joints. The result of her zero based clinical exam was a diagnosis of CMD. The patients malocclusion was causing severe muscle spasm in her Temporalis muscles leading to a torqued and retruded mandibular position causing internal derangement of her disco-condylar complex. Treatment involved fabrication, insertion and adjustment (with TENS) of a removable lower NM orthotic to reposition her mandible and allow for disk recapture. Within the first few days of wearing the NM orthotic, the patient’s migraine headaches had reduced in both frequency and intensity. Within 3 months they had almost completely resolved, allowing the patient to successfully titrate off her meds. Physical therapy was implemented throughout this period and all postural manipulations were made while wearing the NM orthotic. Patient is now finishing Invisalign orthodontic therapy and the correction of her malocclusion is nearly completed. Patient remains med free and pain free as confirmed by low EMG rest and adjusted jaw trajectory scans.

NMD’s employ digital Joint Sonography and sophisticated realtime computer diagnostics and jaw tracking equipment called “K7” Evaluation system to accurately locate the jaw in a precise position that supports optimal NM Orthotic in place

Question: For many years now I’ve been suffering from daily headaches. My Family Doctor’s only solution has been pain killers and muscle relaxants! I’ve seen several medical specialists but they have been of little help. I know my bite is off because my jaws ache when I chew and clicks when I open but, how can my teeth be causing me this constant headache pain?

Cloverdale resident publishes self-help guide after battle with depression, anxiety

Learning to embrace power of positivity Jennifer Lang

Black Press

right, friendly and personable, Dawn Carson is the sort of person who seems to exude positive vibes from every pore. She has expressive eyes and a wide, warm smile. She talks animatedly about the process of writing a book – her first. Practice Positive: A Simple Guide to Becoming a Positive and Happy Person, is exactly what it sounds like – a resource for people who struggle with negativity in their life. There’s advice for all ages, personalities and budgets. “Everyone is all, ‘Is this the one about the breakdown?’ No, it’s not,” she laughs. But she does credit the most difficult period of her life with making her an expert on creating her own positive vibes. It turns out a naturally sunny outlook couldn’t shield her from a crushing blow. In late 2006, she suffered from what she describes as a severe breakdown that left her in the depths of depression, riddled with anxiety and fear. She spent six weeks under psychiatric care. At one point she was on 10 different medications that she says turned her into a zombie. “It was destroying my body.” As she weaned herself off the medications, she realized that in the long-term, she wanted to find another way to manage her anxiety and depression. And so began a six-year journey of selfdiscovery and research as she sought help through alternative medicine and therapies. One of her first stops was the library,

Budding Cloverdale author Dawn Carson with her self-published book, Practice Positive. where she hazily scanned the stacks for anything she thought might be useful to her. She took personal development courses as well, eventually compiling a tool kit of tips and techniques that she uses to keep from falling back into old coping skills that weren’t all that helpful. “We have coping skills that we don’t recognize aren’t healing,” she says. She stresses she’s not a doctor, and is adamant that medical intervention was necessary and welcome in her case, and

that conventional medicine was a crucial element of her journey to wellness. She says maintaining a positive mental outlook does take work, but to Carson, it’s the foundation of the sense of well-being she enjoys today. Practice Positive is the sort of book she wished had existed – and could have turned to for help – when she was recovering from her breakdown. Through the book, she shares a range of ideas with readers hoping to reduce stress,

limit negativity in their lives and simply enjoy life more. She was eager to share her discoveries with others – keen to save people time and frustration by passing along the best advice and tools she picked up in an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand format anyone can use. The tips in her book won’t work, she says, unless you’re willing to do some work and figure out your own “stuff ’. To that end, she ❝We have recommends taking a course on self-awareness coping skills or self exploration, that we don’t such as signing up for a recognize aren’t meditation class. healing.❞ She’s now in the process of writing two Dawn Carson other books. One is “very candid about my breakdown – with a lot of humour,” she says. As difficult as those days were, enough time has passed that she can laugh about some of the more surprising things she did. She hopes to complete it by Christmas. “Once I start writing, it happens quickly.” The other book draws on her 20 years of experience in the service industry. It’s a manual on customer service basics, redrafted for managers dealing with millennials in the workforce, whom she’s noticed have an alarming tendency to “overshare” details of their personal life in front of customers. The print edition of Practice Positive is available on Amazon.com, a Kindle version at Amazon.ca, and other e-reader formats at Smashwords.com. Or, visit dawncarson.com.

B.C. communities are again seeking federal and provincial help to keep the Canada goose population under control by killing geese that are fouling beaches and parks. Delegates at last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention endorsed a resolution from Osoyoos to address a problem that plagues many B.C. communities. Thompson Nicola Regional District director Tim Pennell told the convention that beaches around area lakes are being “destroyed” by geese, and their droppings are triggering beach-contamination warnings that affect tourism and local residents’ recreation. The Osoyoos resolution notes that addling goose eggs has had limited effect, and hunting regulations prevent culling in recreation areas. It asks for the Canadian Wildlife Service to issue more kill permits. Failing that, they want the province to issue permits. Geese and their droppings are a

A local resident wrote to the Abbotsford News in July, complaining that “there is so much goose poop on the paved trails that it’s like navigating through a minefield.” On Vancouver Island, golf courses hire dog handlers to chase geese off fairways, sometimes shifting the problem to the next golf course. Farmers also struggle to protect crops from geese. Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray raised a related concern at the

UBCM convention. B.C. is considering changes to testing procedures for recreational waters, based on Health Canada guidelines that recommend beachwater advisories be based on a single sample of 400 E.coli per 100 ml. Gray said depending on a single sample could trigger significantly more beach-water advisories, often based on a transitory visit by geese, without significant increase in risk to human health.

Dentures only considered for temporary use

Extensive bone loss experienced by denture wearers account for most of the issues. With increasing bone loss, often as soon as a year into complete tooth loss, the denture has to be made taller and more bulky in order to provide the required esthetics.

Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation Fall Reflections With autumn right around the corner, we have to mention what an incredible summer we’ve had on the Peninsula! It was the perfect weather to get outside, enjoy our community and put healthy living into practice with fun activities and abundant fruits and vegetables courtesy of our vibrant Farmers’ Market. I think you’ll agree that we live in one of the best places in the world. As the community of South Surrey/White Rock continues to grow (everyone else is figuring out what we already know!), so does our need for quality health care close to home. Our bold new vision for the redevelopment and expansion of Peace Arch Hospital’s emergency department fits in nicely with the Foundation’s mission to enhance health and wellness in our community. Our current three-year Strategic Plan outlines where we want to be in

2016: meeting the health care demands of our growing population with a brand new, fully-funded ER expansion and through our leadership, establishing South Surrey/ White Rock as the healthiest community possible. In terms of financials, the Foundation is on solid ground. We received a $3 million gift from the Ministry of Health last March for the expansion of Peace Arch Hospice from seven to 15 beds; our fundraising events have been well attended and the community continues to show its support for our priority fundraising projects. None of this is feasible without our phenomenal donors, supporters, partners and volunteers. Every day we are inspired by the impact our donors are making with their contributions, whether monetary or volunteering their time. Ultimately, the

Foundation’s work aims to ensure our community’s health and wellness is the very best it can be for all of us who call this wonderful place home. Have a read through some of the stories we’ve shared in this special feature and we think you’ll be inspired too. Enjoy a bountiful autumn and don’t forget to register for the upcoming National Bank Financial Great Pumpkin Run Walk (www. pahfoundation.ca, click on the pumpkin). It’s always a lively event full of festive community spirit!

2012/2013 By the Numbers:

Treating 50,000 patients a year in an ER originally built to accommodate 20,000 can be challenging to say the least. As the community of South Surrey/White Rock continues to expand (in the past 20 years, the population has increased by 55 per cent!), the space at Peace Arch Hospital will be stretched even further to meet the demand. The good news is that the redevelopment and expansion of the hospital’s emergency department is on track. The business case is complete and will be presented to both Fraser Health and the Ministry of Health for approval this fall. The initial plans allow for an emer-

Making an impact with Medical Equipment Access to top medical equipment directly affects patient outcomes and helps attract and retain leading medical expertise to our hospital. The Foundation is pleased to report that thanks to the generosity of its donors, $536,500 has been committed to leading-edge medical equipment for our hospital during the 2012/1013 fiscal year. New donor-funded medical equipment that has been purchased includes:

• Cardiac Monitor for Emergency Department | $20,000 • Operating Table for OR | $50,000 • Bipap Ventilator for Respiratory Therapy Unit | $25,000 • Motorized Parallel Bars for Physiotherapy Department | $15,000 • Ophthalmology Chairs for OR (3) | $24,000 • Mobile Lift for 2nd Floor Acute Care Unit | $5,500 • Isolettes for Maternity Unit (3) | $90,000

gency department that is almost three times the size of the current facility with a private triage area, dedicated ambulance entrance, significantly more treatment areas including specific pediatric and mental health spaces, isolation rooms and an improved layout and space configuration. In the meantime, all gifts and donations designated for the new ER are being accepted and will be held until construction gets underway. Stay tuned for more exciting details as plans become finalized!

Leaving a legacy

Investing in People: Because People Matter Grants The Foundation’s annual Because People Matter Grants program supports innovative projects at Peace Arch Hospital as well as community programs that focus on health education, research, service delivery and community health. More than $1.6 million has been invested in more than 100 health and wellness projects since the program began in 1999. Grants approved for the 2012/2013 fiscal year totalled $165,967 and included:

City of White Rock Funding was provided to train and support volunteer cardio gym attendants in first aid and fundamental exercise program training. Stationed at the Centre for Active Living, these volunteers provide basic introduction to the safe use of the cardio equipment and weights while monitoring and supervising participants.

Grant awarded: $5,040

Peace Arch Hospital Peace Arch Hospital is partnering with Delta and Surrey Memorial Emergency Departments to conduct a mixed-methods study within the ER that critically looks at patient satisfaction. Survey information will be captured on iPads and used by front-line leaders to address issues as they occur, resulting in a reduction in the number of patient complaints due to real-time management before they become an issue.

Grant awarded: 1,906

Semiahmoo Family Place Association With their universal access, play-based learning and focus on family relationships, Semiahmoo Family Place offers programs specific to nurturing family mental health resulting in an overall improvement in family preservation skills, including parenting and child development, early learning programs, and the early detection of children with special needs.

Grant awarded: $20,000

Seniors Come Share Society The Come Share Community Connections project targets socially isolated older adults living independently in apartment complexes by facilitating a more socially-connected culture. Residents are engaged in social and community-building experiences boosting emotional and physical well-being, practical support and access to health services.

Grant awarded: $15,800

Donations for capital equipment or the building of specific spaces at Peace Arch Hospital are always greatly appreciated. Having a plaque attached to the equipment or on the outside of a room is a great way to honour a loved one or leave a legacy for years to come. Roy Dales did just that when he recently gifted a brand new operating table for the hospital’s OR. Dedicated to the memory of his late wife, Doris, Roy and his daughter, Karen Cartwell, came to the hospital in July to see the operating table and the legacy plaque in person. Marie Topp, another generous donor, donated funds to build new bathing suites for the residents of Dr. Al Hogg Pavilion, one of two residential care facilities at Peace Arch Hospital. Marie will be recognized for her contributions with a naming plaque located outside the suite.

The Mr. and Mrs. P.A. Woodward’s Foundation recently funded a much-needed Bipap Ventilator for our hospital’s Respiratory Therapy Unit and Executive Director, Jackie Lee-Son, toured the department in August to see their recognition plaque and the impact their gift is making for cardiac and COPD patients. Ivan and Eleanor Worthington-White purchased a cardiac monitor for the hospital’s ER and received their plaque this summer. All donor-funded capital equipment receives a sticker of recognition and for gifts of $10,000 or more, naming opportunities are available. The plaques are a unique way for Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation to thank you for your generosity. Contact us at 604.535.4520 for more information.

Our vision to be the healthiest community possible Last October the Foundation hosted a community forum on health and wellness. We invited key stakeholders such as our local cities, Fraser Health and local charitable organizations to join us in our vision to make our community the healthiest possible. Ideally, the healthier we are, the less likely we will need medical care. By developing habits that promote health, even people in need of medical intervention will experience a faster recovery and overall enhanced health outcomes. With a healthier

community, the burden on our hospital will be lighter, family stress may be reduced, productivity in the workplace will increase, and residents will be happier and enjoy an elevated sense of well-being. Since the forum, a small working group has been established to develop a framework for this project under the Foundation’s leadership. We’ll keep you updated on the progress of this important initiative as details unfold. Stay tuned!

Gala 2013: 25 years in the making On Saturday, May 4 the community of South Surrey/ White Rock raised more than $218,000 for Peace Arch Hospital’s ER at the Foundation’s black tie 25th Anniversary Gala. The event featured a gourmet dinner by the Four Seasons Hotel in Vancouver, dancing and live music, games, a silent auction and a rousing live auction for unique experiences that included an all-inclusive fishing trip to Duncanby Lodge in Rivers Inlet and a BC

Lions Tailgate Party for 10 people. New this year was a Mystery Box Raffle that sold out in 40 minutes with the winner taking home a $2,400 diamond ring from Rochells Jewellers; she was thrilled! It was an evening of achievement and philanthropy, of making new friends, greeting old friends, and celebrating the same vision of investing in quality health care close to home. Join us next spring for this fabulous annual event.

Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation A story of quiet generosity: Horst and Emmy Werner In the summer of 2012, Stephanie Beck, Director of Major and Planned Gifts, received an astounding phone call. On the line was lawyer Dale Bradford, notifying her that one of his clients, Emmy Werner, had recently passed away and left a gift of $1.75 million in her will to Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation. Born in Poland in 1919, Emmy Dase was living in Lake Louise when she married Horst Werner, originally from Germany, in Calgary in 1953. They received their Canadian Citizenship in Cranbrook in 1957 and later, settled in White Rock, purchasing a home on Foster Street. Over the years, the Werners made donations to the Foundation on a regular basis. They were a very private, humble couple who had no children or family and just a small circle of friends. They sold their house on Foster Street in the mid2000s and moved into Sunnyside Manor retirement residence in South Surrey.

When Horst passed away in 2009, Emmy was on her own. Three years later, on April 13, 2012, Emmy passed away and the entirety of her and Horst’s substantial estate was left to the Foundation. With no knowledge of the impending gift, the Foundation was, unfortunately, never able to personally thank the Werners for their incredible generosity, the impact of which will be felt for years to come. But, perhaps, that’s exactly the way they wanted it.

This summer marked the 24th annual Semiahmoo Rotary Club Charity Golf Tournament held at Hazelmere Golf Course. What began as a rainy day turned into brilliant sunshine and perfect weather for the enthusiastic teams of golfers. Always a fun event, this year saw the introduction of the Operation game where participants tested their “surgical” skills for extra chipping balls. The highlight of the live auction was a couple of passionate bidders angling for a coveted gourmet dinner for six prepared in the winner’s home by Hazelmere’s talented chef. Over the years, Semiahmoo Rotary has raised close to a staggering $800,000 for the Foundation! Special thanks to the organizers, volunteers and generous participants for their fantastic contributions. Watch for details on next year’s 25th Anniversary event.

What started as a leadership initiative for a group of students at South Surrey’s Elgin Park Secondary School turned into a fundraiser that had more than 700 participants and raised more than $48,000 for Peace Arch Hospital’s ER. The community spin-athon, CYCLE4:ER, took place on June 5 and featured teams of students, medical personnel, business leaders, families and seniors hopping on and off the

stationary bikes for 12 hours straight. The energy remained high despite the late spring heat and inevitable fatigue, with the students wanting to create a legacy in a place they call home for a hospital that has never let them down. The team of 21 leadership students decided the funds should be used for ER equipment and the following was purchased on their behalf:

• Stretcher, $10,000 • Two Vital Sign Monitors, $10,000, plus partial funding for a third • Crash Cart, $3,500 • Motorized IV Pole, $2,500 • Stimulator (for intubation practice), $15,000

A total of $2,271 was raised at this whimsical garden party

that included residents, awestruck kids and a butterfly-winged dog named Lollipop. Now an annual event, watch for it next year and take part in this magical day.

A gift in gold Back in 1961, Patrick Grant spent six days at Peace Arch Hospital and never forgot the outstanding care he received. Now 92 years old and living in Vancouver, Patrick came back to the hospital in July to make a donation to the Foundation. His gift was 10 solid gold coins that amounted to $2,930. He wanted to give

something back to a hospital that helped him more than 50 years ago. Now that’s inspiring!

Quite apart from contributing to a worthy cause, A Night on Broadway Goes Hollywood is a treat for audiences craving a scintillating, witty and – above all – tuneful entertainment. SayYES to BC

The South Surrey tenor-soprano, husbandwife team have assembled their largest, most versatile cast yet for this salute to favourites from musicals that have travelled from Broadway to Hollywood – and in some cases vice-versa – over the past 80 years. “There are so many great songs that have been featured in musical movies – it’s really a natural for us to do this,” says Simmons. Returning from last year are soprano/choreographer Vanessa Coley-Donohue, mezzosoprano Tamara Croft, and well-known musical theatre player Cathy Wilmot, who will be joined by baritone Chris King, pianist Caitlin Hayes, bassist Graham Clark, drummer Daniel Fortin and some 18-20 members of the Lindbjerg Show Choir directed by Chad Matchette, equally well-known in theatrical circles. Also returning is the show’s artistic director/master of ceremonies Matthew Bissett. “He’s become known as ‘the man in the chair’,” Da Vaughn said, adding that Bissett’s

distinctive personality, plus his skills as an actor and raconteur, made him an instant hit at last year’s show – and an invaluable ally in shaping this year’s edition. “We were able to give up a little of the control by having Matthew make the selection of the songs this year,” she said. Bissett has responded by creating interesting groupings of numbers – for instance juxtaposing songs from the original 1939 Wizard of Oz with numbers from The Wiz and the much more recent Wicked. “As we chose the music in previous years, we came to realize this is one of the most difficult things about putting together a show,” Simmons said. “You’re always trying to balance upbeat numbers with ballads and other songs of various types.” “He did a masterful job – and this year we actually have eight ensemble numbers as well as solos,” Da Vaughn said. i see page A35

Call them the Surrey Little Theatre-Ryan Mooney awards. Honours for 2013 were handed out by the Community Theatre Coalition Saturday (Sept. 21) at Coast Capital Playhouse, and, with only a few exceptions, they were swept by two shows: Surrey Little Theatre’s Second World War drama, Home Fires and Mooney’s early ’60s-style musical Little Shop of Horrors, for Fighting Chance Productions. The latter show – which was presented as a summer co-production with White Rock Players last year before a fall run in Vancouver – took a total of 10 awards, to Home Fires’ seven. Also notable at the CTC gala was the presentation of lifetime achievement awards to two well-known community theatre Ryan Mooney personalities, costumer director and set decorator Pat MacLean and director Dale Kelly. Little Shop, judged best musical production, also won for best director of a musical (Ryan Mooney), best lead actor in a musical (Kerry O’ Donovan), best lead actress in a musical (Melissa Clark), best supporting actor in a musical (Greg Dalmage) and best supporting actress in a musical (Veronika Sztopa). Mooney’s musical also got the nod for best choreographer (Angela Cotton), best music director (Vashti Fairbairn), best lighting design (Matthew Bissett) and best graphic design, poster (Devin Karringten and Mooney). Home Fires, chosen best production, comedy or drama, won for best director (Brigitte Seib and Paul Cowhig), best supporting actor (Greg Radzimowski), best costume design (Bunny Patterson), best set design (Seib) and best set decoration (Lana Hart). Best supporting actress honours were shared by Rebecca Strom and Sheila Greentree. Fraser Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society’s pantomime The Phantom of the Panto received recognition for best graphic design, programme, for Paddy Tennant.

Goal is to raise $20,000 couver Community College and microphones by Capilano University, production costs don’t eat up the funds raised, they said. Last year’s concert raised $11,000 and the goal this year is $20,000. They noted Envision’s Full Cupboard program – designed to “raise food, funds and awareness for food banks” in the communities it serves – is in sync with their own initiative, and has already committed to backing next year’s show as well. “Their aim is to get it ready for the next stage,” said Simmons. “We want to continue to raise awareness of the need for the food bank – and we’re also encouraging people to bring food donations to the show,” said Da Vaughn. “It’s amazing to look back at this idea we had in our living room all those years ago and see where it’s gone,” said Simmons, adding they marvel at the way people have embraced the concept and are making it their own. “It’s grown a long way beyond what we do – when we say it’s a community event, it’s something that truly involves the whole community – something all of Surrey should be proud of,” he said. Tickets ($27.50 plus service charges, $25 plus service charges for seniors and students) are available from the box office at 604-501-5566.

Simmons and Da Vaughn are quick to acknowledge a winning combination behind the scenes that has helped them move their fundraiser to the next level; the inspiration, marketing know-how and promotional materials contributed to the project by Chris Thornley of Thornley Creative Communications, the extensive producing expertise of Lyn Verra-Lay, plus the financial support of Envision Financial, as well as other sponsors – which enables them to make the proud claim that every cent raised through the sale of tickets will go to the food bank. One of Da Vaughn’s voice students, Olivia Lang, is gaining valuable experience as a production assistant, they say. And Verra-Lay and Surrey Food Bank staff are also working on a few special elements to amp up the Hollywood razzle-dazzle factor for the show. “They’re trying to arrange a little bit of a Hollywood-premiere atmosphere,” Da Vaughn said.

Bayside Sharks’ focus on youth during first-division season

‘We’re going to be better every week’ Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Bayside Sharks’ top men’s rugby team may have been relegated from the premier league to first-division after a disappointing spring, but new head coach Angel Cividanes still plans to make the most of the situation. So while a premier title is not in the offing this fall, Cividanes – who is replacing Pat Kearney on the sidelines after the latter decided to return to the pitch as a player – said the goal for this season is skill development, especially with regard to the club’s younger players. “We have a lot of young players on the team this year, and some of them are very, very talented,” said Cividanes. “We’re going to be better and better ❝One thing we every week.” definitely have to Cividanes was do is get fitter.❞ especially excited to work with, and folAngel Cividanes low the progress of, Bayside coach 19-year-old prop Liam Beaulieu, whom Cividanes – who has experience coaching at the provincial level – said is very much on the radar of Canada’s U20 program. “He’s going to be a very important name in Canadian rugby,” the new coach said. And as much as he’s excited about his new crop of players, Cividanes – a native of Argentina – said there is still plenty of room for improvement. For one, he said the playing system he’s trying to implement – which he called “expansive” – will take some time for his players to adjust to. Secondly, he said the team’s fitness needs to improve – a problem that was evident two weeks ago in the team’s season-opening loss to UBC. “One thing we definitely have to do is get fitter, but that’s picking up the last few weeks,” Cividanes said, adding that the team’s been training since mid-August. The improvement of the team’s younger players will be even more integral to the team’s success, considering the side has lost a pair of players from last year’s premierdivision team – Cody Rockson and Gurvinder Kalar, both of whom left for Burnaby Lake, where they could continue playing at the premier level. Cividanes said it was tough to lose two key members of the team, before adding that he wasn’t losing too much sleep over it. “We tried to keep them here, but they

Originally, they both came here from other clubs in order to play premier,” the coach said. “I’m only going to be worried if players who have grown up at Bayside start going to other clubs, and that hasn’t happened.” Growing pains aside, Cividanes – a Peninsula resident – said he’s thrilled to be coaching closer to home after spending the

last few years coaching with the Meraloma Rugby Club in Vancouver. “I’m really enjoying it here, and the people with the club have just been great,” he said. “And it’s nice to live five minutes from the club. Last year, I lived here and was working downtown, too, so it was a bit much – some very long days. “Sometimes you need a change – you can’t coach the same group of guys for six, seven

years… you can see that in any sport.” The Sharks are 1-1 through two weeks of the Canadian Springs Rugby League season – after their Game 1 loss to UBC, they rebounded last weekend in Kelowna with a win over the UBC-Okanagan Heat. This weekend, the Sharks travel for a road game against Richmond that Cividanes said “will be a real measure of where we’re at as a team.”

Major Midget team off to hot start

Hawks win twice on the road Rick Kupchuk Black Press

Starting the season with one of the longest road trips on their BC Hockey Major Midget League schedule, the Valley West Hawks returned home from Nelson with two victories over the Kootenay Ice. Valley West came from behind for a 7-4 win Saturday night, then rolled past Kootenay 9-1 on Sunday. The Hawks are one of 11 zone teams in the provincial league for elite 15- to 17-yearolds, drawing players from the Semiahmoo, Surrey, Cloverdale and Langley minor hockey associations. It took 40 minutes for the Hawks to get into high gear in Nelson, but once they did, they played at that level for the rest of the weekend. The Ice led 2-1 and 4-3 at the period breaks in the first game Saturday, but each time they scored, Valley West replied to tie the game. The Hawks finally took the lead three minutes into the second period on a goal by Cloverdale’s Jordan Funk. Defenceman Paul Savage of Surrey added an insurance goal 90 seconds later, then Mitch Newsome of Surrey closed out the scoring with an

empty-net goal with 52 seconds to play. Paul Smith of White Rock and Surrey skaters Justin Wilde and Shakeel Ebrahim were the other goal scorers. Kyle Cheema of Cloverdale made 17 saves to get the win. The Hawks dominated Sunday’s rematch, taking a 4-0 lead after 20 minutes, and going up 5-0 before the Ice scored their lone goal of the game. Funk, Luke Gingras of Langley and White Rock’s Davis Koch paced Valley West with two goals each, with Newsome, Smith and Savage adding singles. Ty Westgard of White Rock had five assists on the game. Cole Forbes, also of Cloverdale, was the winning netminder. He stopped 17 of 18 Ice shots. Valley West will face-off twice with the Okanagan Rockets next weekend at the Richmond Oval, where 10 of the 11 teams will play in a super weekend. The Hawks and Rockets play at 5:15 p.m. Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday. Okangan also won twice last weekend playing in Kelowna, sweeping the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds 10-3 and 6-5.

The Titans were edged by a single point at New Westminster’s Mercer Stadium Sunday, falling 21-20 to the Royal City Hyacks. The Hyacks opened the scoring in the first quarter, going up 8-0, and White Rock cut the lead to 8-6 on an unconverted touchdown by Holden Allen, who scored on a run. Late in the first half, Allen scored again to put the Titans up 14-8, but Royal City tied the contest early in the third quarter.

The peewee squad – now 2-2 in the Vancouver Mainland Football League season – scored seven touchdowns en route to a 47-13 throttling of the Royal City Hyacks. Peyton Hooper led the way with a pair of long touchdown runs in the first half – the first, a 63-yarder and the second, 57 yards – and Balsher Randhawa scored on two even longer runs in the second half. Randhawa scored the team’s only points in the second half on TD runs of 80 and 70 yards. Rounding out the scoring for the Titans was Nick Murray, who opened the scoring on a 51-yard play and later on a kickoff return; and Kulsher Randhawa, who had a 26-yard scoring run in the first half.

SOLO District soars above Burnaby with Altus By Kerry Vital

Appia Developments is reinforcing its reputation for amazing homes with Altus, the second phase in its SOLO District neighbourhood. Altus will be the tallest building in Burnaby at the equivalent of 55 storeys tall, with office space on the first 14 floors and residential from 200 feet up. “The views start from the bottom (residential) floor,” says Appia Sales and Marketing Manager Lisa Murrell.

With condominium homes ranging from approximately 516 to about 1,700 square feet in a variety of floorplans, it won’t be hard to find your perfect home. Something that sets Altus apart are the choices it offers for three-bedroom units, which is something buyers have been asking for and Appia is happy to be able to provide in the newest phase of SOLO District. Part of the appeal is the huge amenity space that Appia is calling Club 55 with a barbecue area, full kitchen, media area and billiards and ping-pong tables and generous outdoor deck

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

space for residents of Altus, to be located on the top floor of the tower. The office tower will include a gym that residents have access to as well, and a multi-sport court on the third floor. SOLO District will eventually be comprised of four residential towers and over 1,400 homes. The community will also include Burnaby’s first Whole Foods, commercial opportunities, office space and tons of green space. “There are several other exciting anchor tenants to be announced,” says Murrell. “This is a very, very cool community.” Walkability was one of the more important aspects, Murrell says. “There’s everything you could possibly need here,” she notes. “It’s been really well-received by the community.” SOLO District is perfectly situated for transit, shopping, education and leisure activities. The Brentwood Skytrain station is just steps away, along with Brentwood Town Centre. Golf courses, parks and fitness facilities are also nearby. Homes at SOLO District start at $293,900.

North Burnaby is a vibrant place full of things to do, from rowing on Burnaby Lake, above, to shopping at Brentwood Town Centre, right. If it’s higher education you’re after, Simon Fraser University, above right, has been rated as one of the top universities in Canada.

North Burnaby a thriving neighbourhood By Kerry Vital

North Burnaby is a rapidly growing region, with plenty of opportunities for shopping, dining, education and recreation, from golf courses to rowing to swimming. The area is an exciting place to live and is becoming a major urban centre in its own right. Never boring and always busy, North Burnaby is becoming the place to be. North Burnaby, also known as the Brentwood area, is about 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver via SkyTrain, and about 30 minutes from the Vancouver International

Airport. This contributes to the popularity of the neighbourhood with young professionals; about 39 per cent of the population in the area is between the ages of 20 and 44. Among the notable developers who are building in North Burnaby are Appia Developments, Ledingham McAllister, Bosa Development and Embassy Developments. It is hard to be bored in North Burnaby, with its selection of parks, art galleries, museums and theatres. If it’s a bit of culture you’re looking for, you can start up on Burnaby Mountain at the Simon Fraser University Art Gallery. It’s open to the public free of charge and the displays change every few months. Simon Fraser also houses the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, which showcases artifacts from around the world. There are several parks in Burnaby, so outdoor activity is never far away. Burnaby Lake Regional Nature Park surrounds the lake. The park includes a dog off-leash area, the Burnaby Sports Complex,

the Burnaby Equestrian Centre and several walking and cycling trails. However, its biggest draw is the lake itself, which has a rowing course for canoeing, kayaking and rowing training. Confederation Park is also an activity hub, with walking trails, a skate park, a lacrosse box, a running track, a community centre, several picnic sites and playgrounds, baseball diamonds and other playing fields. It’s also home to the McGill branch of the Burnaby Public Library and the Eileen Dailly Leisure Pool and Fitness Centre. North Burnaby is also full of opportunities for all levels of education. The largest institution is Simon Fraser University, just a few minutes from the centre of North Burnaby on Burnaby Mountain. The British Columbia Institute of Technology also has its main campus in Burnaby. North Burnaby is a well-connected city, with several options for public transportation, walking or cycling if you feel like leaving your

car behind. Because it’s nearly the centre of the Metro Vancouver area, it is easy to get on your way, whatever way you choose. Food is a necessity of life, and it’s highly likely that shopping is as well. Luckily, North Burnaby has many options for both. Your first stop for some retail therapy is Brentwood Town Centre, located right in the centre of North Burnaby and well-served by transit, including its own SkyTrain station. With department stores and smaller shops all in one place, you’ll be able to do much of your shopping in one spot. North Burnaby is a chef ’s dream, with stores such as Bosa Foods, famous for amazing Italian imports, and Cioffi’s Meat Market and Deli, which offers an array of fresh cheeses, dried pastas, olive oils, premium meats and homemade sausages, among other products. Grocery stores such as Safeway and Save-On Foods are also in the area. If you’re looking for a night out, there are many options for casual or fine dining as well.

On a level lot, this 2,755 sq. ft., 3 bedroom home is one of nineteen ocean front homes in a prestigious gated community in English Bluff. Enjoy the spectacular unobstructed views of the Gulf Islands and the Strait of Georgia from a spacious living room which features a two story 23’ ft. vaulted ceiling. Relax in the hot tub and enjoy the blossoms and fragrances of the lovingly cared for rose garden. Great value for 49 feet of direct beach front access. Quick possession, spend the rest of the Summer at the beach.

When you’re house-hunting, choosing a home with natural gas for space and water heating can save you money. Believe it at fortisbc.com/calculator. *These are approximate savings based on the difference between annual natural gas and electricity costs for space and water heating of a 2,300 square-foot house with average insulation and four occupants in the FortisBC Lower Mainland service area. Calculation compared standard-efﬁciency natural gas furnace and large storage tank water heater with electric furnace and equivalent water heater and is based on FortisBC natural gas rates as of May 2013 ($9.35/GJ) and electricity rates in the service area identiﬁed (Tier 1 and 2: $0.071 and $0.109 per kWh). Actual savings may vary. Savings do not include potential rebates and/or incentives.

Q. phases We are thinking of selling our home, and heard there are four critical of the selling process we must examine with our Realtor. What are those phases?

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. 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. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 to attain the highest number of showings from qualified buyers. Check your Realtorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marketing plan carefully to ensure they have the ability to do more than just place it in MLS and hold a few open houses. 3) Creation and Negotiation of the purchase contract. A good Realtorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s negotiating skills can make or break a purchase contract. Check their ability in these matters. 4) Managing the closing process. During this phase, your Realtor must be on top of all the closing functions: inspections, appraisals, financing, contingencies, and more. When interviewing real estate agents, make sure you address each of the four phases of the selling process. Your dialog will be pivotal in establishing trust and a personal chemistry that is crucial between you and your Realtor.

HUBERT, George Frank George Frank Hubert Sr. passed away on Friday, September 13, 2013 at the age of 83. His wife, Irene, says goodbye to her husband of 63 years; her lifelong best friend. George is survived by eight children and their beautiful families. His daughter Dianna left us in 2011, and is waiting for her dad in that final, peaceful place. Words from our hearts and with love, to Dad: Feisty, Unstoppable, Soft Hearted, Determined Provider, Popeye!, Loyal Friend, Persistent, Proud of his Children, Fearless, Devoted. George’s passion was the sea. His heart was his family. His spirit, a friend to everyone. In lieu of a formal service, his choice of farewell was for all to smile in his memory. And then pass it on.

It is with great Sadness and Heartache we announce the passing of our beloved John, after a short battle with cancer.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our sweet and gentle mother and grandmother, Cecilia Amanda Pain, on September 15, 2013. Cecilia passed away peacefully in White Rock, B.C. surrounded by her loving family. Cecilia was predeceased by her husband of almost 66 years, Jack Laird Pain, on July 28, 2013. Cecilia was broken hearted without Jack and her health quickly deteriorated as a result of this significant loss. Cecilia was born in southern Saskatchewan but her family relocated to Choiceland in the north following the onset of the Great Depression. Cecilia moved to Kamloops, B.C. where she worked as a nurse’s aide at the Tranquille TB Sanatorium before going north to work at the hospital in Prince George. It was not long before she met Jack and they were married in September 1947. Cecilia and Jack made their life together in Prince George where they raised three children: Sandra, Doug and Janis. They are proud Grandparents to: Karmen, Michael, Mark, Josh, Luke and Joseph and Great-Grandparents to Cyrus and Milo. In 1988 they moved to White Rock, B.C. where they enjoyed their retirement years. Cecilia enjoyed golf, bridge and dancing along with Jack. She was active at her church and was involved in volunteer activities at Peace Arch Hospital for many years. Cecilia will be remembered for her happy, smiling and positive personality and for the inner strength that never let her down no matter what life put in her path. She was loved deeply by her family and is greatly missed. Special thanks to the staff at Crescent Gardens... There will be a private family ceremony to acknowledge Cecilia’s passing. She will be buried alongside Jack at Sunnyside Lawn Cemetery in South Surrey.

Cities seek improved terms to partner with MMBC

Leaders request time in recycling debate Jeff Nagel

Black Press

.C. civic leaders are demanding an extra 90 days to negotiate acceptable terms for the coming shift of bluebox recycling control to industryrun agency Multi Material BC. Delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention unanimously backed the resolution last week and agreed to strike a working group to help co-ordinate negotiations on behalf of affected cities. Many cities fear degraded recycling services depending on how the new system rolls out and argue MMBC won’t pay them enough to cover their costs if they agree to keep running curbside collection as ❝We see a contractors. significant hit “We see a to taxpayers to significant hit cover the cost to taxpayers of implementing to cover this program.❞ the cost of implementing Cameron Stolz this program,” Prince George said Prince councillor George Coun. Cameron Stolz, disputing MMBC claims the $110-million system will be fully financed by the producers of packaging and paper. “The terms and conditions of the contract are just simply unacceptable,” New Westminster Coun. Bill Harper said. If cities decline to be paid collectors, MMBC will contract the service out to firms and may let them halt curbside pickup of glass and direct residents to take jars and bottles to a depot instead. “That glass is going to go straight in the garbage,” Harper predicted. “So we’re actually walking backwards in terms of the diversion rate in New Westminster.” Thursday’s vote came as MMBC claimed 85 per cent of B.C. cities with curbside pickup have accepted its offer to run the service for payment. It said five per cent declined by a Sept. 16 deadline, letting MMBC contract out, while 10 per cent will opt out and keep providing recycling pick up without any MMBC payment. AL

New Westminster Coun. Bill Harper speaks last Thursday morning at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention on the issue of recycling contracts proposed by a new industry led stewardship group. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, chair of Metro Vancouver’s zero-waste committee, said the positive responses MMBC claims may include many cities that have conditionally signalled their intent, but want to negotiate better terms.

“In Metro Vancouver, there is widespread rejection of the MMBC situation,” he said. “But I believe there’s also a collective will to make it work.” Brodie said he’s been assured provincial-government officials are concerned and argued the planned launch date of next

spring should be delayed. “I think that the dates are really arbitrary. If it’s a good idea and we want to do it, May of 2014 is not magical. It could be May 2015 or any other date.” The UBCM resolution was crafted from Port Moody, North Vancouver and New Westminster.

Port Moody did sign on to the financial offer but is seeking improvements to the terms, Mayor Mike Clay said. NDP local government critic Selina Robinson urged the province to “slow down and get it right.”

Provinces are ‘being played’

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Finance Minister Mike de Jong says B.C. is seeking a truce in the long-running subsidy war with other provinces over Hollywood movie production in a bid to contain the high cost of film tax credits. He made the comments last week at a forum on the economy and jobs at the Union of B.C. Municipali-

Faith

ties convention, where Vancouver Coun. Adriane Carr asked Wednesday what the province will do about high unemployment in the Lower Mainland film industry. “I think we’re being played in Canada,” de Jong responded. “We’re being played one province against another. And the time has come for us to get smart and sit down as provinces and say ‘Here’s what we

agree to do in Canada’.” De Jong said B.C. has already begun exploratory talks with Ontario and Quebec on a reformed approach to film-tax credits. B.C.’s expenditure on film tax credits is nearing $400 million a year. He said that’s paid out as a percentage of a production’s costs – treatment other sectors can only

dream about. “I defy you to find a business in British Columbia that wouldn’t like to tally up their labour costs and send it to the government and get a cheque.” Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training Minister Shirley Bond said production numbers in B.C. are up this year, including major shoots involving actor George Clooney.

‘Speed cameras’ would be limited to school zones

Photo-radar plan backed Tom Fletcher Black Press

Local politicians voted last week to ask the B.C. government for authority to bring back photo radar, but only in school zones. Delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention Thusrday backed the proposal from Penticton council, after changing the name to “speed cameras” to avoid the stigma of an unpopular province-wide speed enforcement program ended by the BC Liberal government in 2001. Penticton Mayor Garry Litke said the issue was taken on after a girl had her feet run over by a speeding car in a school zone. Speed bumps aren’t appropriate for school zones that are only in effect 20 per cent of the time, and police don’t have enough staff to monitor school zones, Litke said. The resolution asks for municipalities to have the option of installing speed cameras where speeding is a problem, and ability to impose a “significant fine as a deterrent,” he said.

The return of photo radar is being backed for school zones. and former truck driver, called photo radar “big brotherism at its very worst,” imposing fines without the ability to contest the ticket in case of a machine malfunction. Duncan councillor Tom Duncan, a long-time ICBC employee, said “there is no doubt that photo radar cameras reduce the speed where they are deployed, and we have to support this to save lives.”

Burnaby Coun. Nick Volkow, also a truck driver, said speed cameras are a “cash grab” that communities would come to rely on for revenue. Premier Christy Clark also called it a “cash grab” in the televised leadership debate before the May 14 election. All four party leaders in the debate said they would not bring it back.

UBCM rejects lower speed limit Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C. communities won’t push to lower the default speed limit to 40 kilometres per hour on residential streets. Victoria councillors argued last week that pedestrian safety is paramount, but delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention defeated their motion Friday. Cities can still vary local speed limits from the 50 km/h default on a street-by-street basis, but proponents of the lower limit also

hoped the province would cover the cost of changing signs. Advocates had warned that unless cities sign every alley and laneway at lower speeds, drivers can legally roar through them at 50 km/h. Opponents said enforcement is the real problem. “You can reduce the municipal speed limit to 10 kilometres per hour – it’s not going to help,” said Thompson-Nicola Regional District director Ken Gillis. He said B.C. cities need a different way to ticket traffic violators

without using costly and highly trained police officers. Comox Mayor Paul Ives said it was “wishful thinking” to believe the province would pay for sign change costs and said the shift to a 40 km/h default would confuse drivers. “We don’t want this. I’m sure many other municipalities don’t want this,” Cache Creek Mayor John Ranta said. “If you take it to extreme, if we keep going slower and slower and slower in the name of safety, eventually we will all grind to a halt.”

Money could be banked as rainy day fund for municipal infrastructure

UBCM calls for good-times revenue sharing Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C. cities have endorsed a call for the province to share some of its revenues – not now but out in the future when hoped-for boom times arrive. That’s the centrepiece of a financial-reform policy paper tabled last week by the leadership of the Union of B.C. Municipalities that won unanimous support. The concept is that in years when provincial revenue from all sources is up by more than an agreed threshold – three per cent is suggested – Victoria would share a portion of the excess with municipalities. Exactly how the money would be disbursed and where it could go would be up

And we want to be proud of it too.” Cities face an intensifying crunch to raise cash for major

infrastructure such a water and sewer upgrades and transit expansion. The province’s Property Transfer Tax, charged for every realestate transaction, is one of the government sources that grows with the economy that cities say give the province room to share. Saanich Coun. Paul Gerrard said the PTT brings the province $800 million to $1 billion a year. “None of that is put

back into affordable housing, which I think is a disgrace,” Gerrard said. There are no permanent recurring grants guaranteed at the provincial level, unlike federal gas tax transfers that are now enshrined.

Premier Christy Clark has said future liquefied naturalgas revenues could generate huge dividends for the province that could fund various benefits, including lower tolls on the Port Mann Bridge. Civic leaders would prefer a systematic method for sharing any future bounty rather than one that could be sporadic or politicized.

Future natural-gas revenue won’t affect BC Ferries

ALL

AR TISTS

Ferry-route cuts still coming Jeff Nagel Black Press

Don’t cut BC Ferries service when the province is on the verge of reaping a huge windfall from natural gas in the coming years. That was the plea from one Union of B.C. Municipalities delegate who sought to link the two issues at a forum on the economy last week. “Coastal communities can’t afford to wait for that revenue to start coming in,” Evan Putterill, Skeena-Queen Charlotte Regional District director for Haida Gwaii and chair of the North and Central Coast Ferry Advisory Committee, said Wednesday. The Sandspit resident said ferrydependent towns have been badly damaged by two decades of rapidly rising fares and further cuts to service now being eyed will make their plight worse. Transportation Minister Todd Stone agreed fares can’t go higher. “We can debate whether we’re at the tipping point or nearing the tipping point or past the tipping point, but fares are at the point where they’re not affordable any more,” he said. But he warned “service optimization” cuts are coming and will be unveiled in coming months. Finance Minister Mike de Jong noted new ferries cost hundreds of millions of dollars and asked delegates to indicate by show of

“Service optimization” to reduce under-used sailings is going ahead. hands if government should buy from overseas builders when they’re the low bidder or if local shipyards should win no matter the cost. The room was split. The ferry question came after de Jong described liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a “generational opportunity” for B.C. that’s estimated to eventually generate government income of $10 billion a year. Asked if LNG is being oversold, he said the skeptics are wrong. “People still say ‘It’s mythical, it’s not happening, it’s not real.’ LNG is real and will result in significant additional revenues.” He said it promises a renaissance for northern B.C., reversing a decades-long trend of depopulation. Other cabinet ministers at the forum cautioned the gas boom means growing pains for com-

munities and a scramble to recalibrate training programs so workers have the required skills. Chetwynd Mayor Merlin Nichols urged the province to seek ways to make it more attractive for coal and gas workers to move to towns in the northeast rather than work in camps without becoming part of the fabric of local life. “If you sit in any flight from Fort St. John back to the Lower Mainland, you’re going to be sitting beside somebody who’s going home, taking home the paycheque after living in camp in the last two or three weeks,” Nichols said. Asked about UBCM’s unanimous call for government to commit to systematically sharing its revenue with cities in strong years, De Jong noted that other options include paying down debt or reducing taxes.

Dix said the NDP’s loss to the BC Liberals in the May provincial election is his responsibility. “It has ❝The best become clear interests of to me that the best interests our party mean that I of our party need to step mean that I need to step aside.❞ aside for a new Adrian Dix leader who NDP Leader can lead us to victory in 2017,” Dix told a news conference Sept. 18 at a downtown Vancouver hotel. “It is my hope that a leadership vote can be held by mid-2014 at the latest, though, of course, any final decision on timing will be made by the NDP.” Dix said he intends to stay on as MLA for Vancouver-Kingsway and run for re-election there. The party has a convention scheduled for November, at which his continued leadership will be considered, along with the overall direction of the party. Dix announced his intentions

NDP leader Adrian Dix announces he will step down as leader by the middle of 2014 “at the latest.” at a party caucus meeting before making his intentions public, where he said his fellow NDP MLAs are “resolute and determined to keep the pressure on the government and hold them to account for their cynical campaign.” He expects the race to succeed him will likely begin soon. Port

Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth, who finished second to Dix in the 2011 leadership race, told reporters he is considering making another run for the top job. Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan, the third-place finisher in 2011, is another likely contender for the position.
