White Rock mayor votes against proposed ‘out of whack’ salary, as city staff advise smaller raises

Politicians endorse bigger pay boost Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

If the majority of White Rock council members have their way, the city’s mayor will earn nearly a third more after the next election. But while Mayor Wayne Baldwin said he agrees present council pay needs to catch up with that of similar-sized communities, he does not support the degree of bump favoured Monday by most of his peers.

“It doesn’t make that much difference for the councillors, but it sure makes a difference for the mayor,” Baldwin said, before voting against calculating civic politicians’ pay by averaging that given to elected officials in Pitt Meadows, Port Moody, Langley City, West Vancouver, North Vancouver and Port Coquitlam. “(It’s) out of whack.” The proposal was voted on by council members meeting as the governance and

legislation committee. It was the higher of two options put forward by staff following a remuneration review that was requested by the committee last March. If approved at the Nov. 4 council meeting, the mayor’s pay would jump by approximately $20,000 (to nearly $80,000 per year) as of Jan. 1, 2015; councillors’ annual pay would be about $3,500 higher. They currently receive $26,580.

Staff said the review determined the politicians were not adequately paid compared to their peers in similar-sized communities, but recommended the calculation be based on the average of three municipalities – Pitt Meadows, Port Moody and Langley City. Instead, by a vote of 4-2, council members backed the figures that included the North Shore and Port Coquitlam. i see page 4

Class-action challenge to New Veterans Charter passes legal hurdle

Court, ombudsman back veterans group’s claim Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

A White Rock-based veteranssupport group is celebrating a court decision that allows a lawsuit against the federal government to proceed. While the Conservatives plan to appeal last month’s B.C. Supreme Court ruling that dismissed the government’s motion to strike the

class-action lawsuit – filed last fall on behalf of Canadian soldiers who are receiving benefits under the New Veterans Charter – a veterans ombudsman report released this week finds “urgent shortcomings” in the seven-year-old charter. Jim Scott, president of White Rock-based Equitas Society, said the group is pleased with Justice

Gary Weatherill’s Sept. 6 decision to uphold the lawsuit. “We’ve always believed that if the facts got into the court of law, they’d be fairly reviewed,” Scott told Peace Arch News. “It’s not surprising that the courts are seeing our point of view.” At issue is the government’s decision to alter the way wounded sol-

diers are compensated through paying lump-sum settlements instead of long-term benefits, a method Scott says ultimately results in reduced compensation for soldiers. It’s one of several points highlighted in a report by Veterans Ombudsman Guy Parent released Tuesday, which calls for improvements to the charter.

The report states more than 400 disabled veterans are at risk of living in poverty due to “the insufficiency of the economic financial support provided after the age of 65.” And it criticizes accessibility of the Permanent Impairment Allowance, designed to compensate severely impaired veterans who can’t work. i see page 4

...and franklyy

When the Port Mann Bridge was announced, there was a pledge that Surrey residents would be able to avoid paying tolls by using a rapid bus to get across the bridge to SkyTrain. A rapid bus has been established from Langley. While it is very popular, it does not stop in Surrey. A park-and-ride lot near the 200 Street overpass is full or close to full on most weekdays. But no such service exists in Surrey. There is no good reason for this, and this is a broken promise of the BC Liberal government. TransLink has no ability to raise any more funds. Transit cannot expand unless TransLink, or another agency that takes over for it, has enough money to do so. This requires a strong commitment from the provincial government, which is the master of transit and has access to enough money to expand service. But the province hasn’t shown much appetite to do so, and it has no shortage of funding challenges itself. However, the province will not grow economically and gain tax revenue if the Lower Mainland transportation system continues to be dealt with on a piecemeal basis. LNG plants are great, and the province needs that new source of revenue. But it also needs to take a cohesive approach to dealing with transportation issues. Let’s see what Stone has to say in the coming weeks Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

Councillor calls for changes to neighbourhood planning process

Redwood Heights decision ‘premature’ Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Surrey Coun. Barinder Rasode says it’s time to reassess the Neighbourhood Concept Plan process, following council’s approval of of the Stage 1 land-use concept for Grandview Heights Area 4 (now to be known as the Redwood Heights NCP). Given the environmental sensitivity of the largely rural area, she says, moving forward with what is essentially a blanket approval of land use suggests the NCP process itself needs to be reviewed. “It’s definitely a conversation it’s time we had,” she told Peace Arch News Tuesday. Recommendations of a staff report, setting out future land use of the area, were approved by a council vote Monday night, with only Rasode and Coun. Judy Villeneuve

in opposition. Mayor Dianne Watts – who confirmed last week she hasn’t participated in discussions on the NCP because she owns land in the area – was among council members voting to approve recommendations. Rasode emphasized the Redwood Heights NCP went through “an entirely legitimate process” under existing policies. But, she said, she continues to have concerns that moving forward with the Redwood Heights NCP is “premature” for an area – between 16 Avenue and 32 Avenue, bounded by 176 Street on the west and 184 Street on the east – that is “high quality, environmentally sensitive” land. “We need to continue to develop plans around our town centres, not create sprawl,” she said.

City asked to double

WR museum seeks cash Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock Museum & Archives director Paul Oxley was quick to cut to the chase about his reason for appearing before council Monday. “We’re here to ask for a lot of money,” said Oxley. Describing the museum as “the jewel of the crown that is the boardwalk of White Rock,” Oxley said annual operating funding – approximately $90,000 – is not enough to enable the museum to keep pace with public expectations and changing technology. He asked council to more than double the city’s contribution for the coming year to $185,095 – not including an additional $7,000 in targeted funding for the archive. “We need to be able to show and store the history of White Rock,” he said, noting goals include creating interactive displays – with options for foreign-language visitors – bringing in more travelling shows and providing cultural events. Oxley said the current budget offers only part-time hours to most staff, and some have been lost to full-time positions in other cities. Being able to accommodate travelling exhibits could also stimulate the Marine Drive economy during the quieter winter season, he said. With the requested boost, operating revenues for 2014 are projected at just over $280,000. That includes an increased city grant; money from admission, memberships, donations and gift-shop sales ($18,500); fundraising through the sale of engravedbrass train plaques ($27,000); and endowment interest ($24,000). Expenses for the year are projected at $280,590 – including $202,560 for operations. Coun. Larry Robinson asked if moving the archival area to another location should be considered. Oxley said it’s a move he supports. “I believe the best thing for the museum is for that building to be the museum,” he said. Council voted unanimously to refer Oxley’s report to staff for consideration.

RCM-SAR5 crews scan the White Rock breakwater and shoreline Wednesday morning, looking for any sign of missing Delta crabber Cory Fergus.

Delta man missing after reportedly heading out to check crab traps

Rescue crews search Semiahmoo Bay Robert Mangelsdorf Black Press

The search for a Delta crabber reported missing Tuesday afternoon was visible in Semiahmoo Bay Wednesday morning, as Crescent Beach marine-rescue crews helped scour the waters and shoreline for any sign of the 43-year-old. The effort to locate Cory Fergus began Tuesday evening – a day after he told family and friends he planned to check on his crab traps in Boundary Bay. Acting Sgt. Sarah Swallow of the Delta Police Department said Fergus, who lives alone, was reported missing after he failed to return. It is believed he ventured out in a small white boat – possibly a canoe or a dingy – on Monday evening. The RCM-SAR5 team joined Delta Police

and the Canadian Coast Guard in the search around 8 p.m. Tuesday. The local crew was out until about 1 a.m., and returned to the task at dawn Wednesday. “Everybody was back out at first light this morning,” said Sig Kristensen, of the RCMSAR5 crew. “So far, they haven’t come up with anything.” Kristensen said a Coast Guard program that tracks the bays’ currents indicates it is probable Fergus “could still be in the Boundary Bay area.” “The currents around here are a little unusual,” he said, noting crews will continue the quest until ordered to stand down. “They’ll stay out there as long as there’s any hope of finding this guy… as long as it takes,” he said. Swallow said police are also still trying to

determine the make of the boat. Fergus is a white male, six-foot-two, with medium light brown hair and a goatee. Police say there is nothing to suggest he is suffering from mental-health issues and foul play is currently not suspected. The Canadian Coast Guard is helping to conduct the search, with a hovercraft and aircraft contributing to the efforts. Swallow said Delta Police have been in contact with law-enforcement agencies from neighbouring communities that border Boundary Bay – including Surrey RCMP, White Rock RCMP and the Blaine Police Department – to help co-ordinate the search. Anyone who may have seen Fergus, or know of his whereabouts, is asked to contact Delta Police at 604-946-4411. - with files from Tracy Holmes

doing public service for a stipend,” Robinson said he was told. “That’s the reality. When you run for council, you are volunteering to take three years of your life and devote it to the city. The appetite of the public to pay elected officials is just about zero.” Coun. Al Campbell said the remuneration “probably” should be more than now, given the amount and calibre of work required of council. He agreed any increase should not take effect during the current council’s term. In discussing the issue, Baldwin noted the current remuneration formula – which pays the mayor

90 per cent of the average earnings in White Rock and councillors 40 per cent – uses information that is no longer reliable due to changes in census reporting requirements. “The numbers of people needed to make it statistically valid are not there,” he said of the voluntary earnings disclosure. A motion by Robinson for council to consider the higher increase carried, with Couns. Helen Fathers, Bill Lawrence, Robinson and Campbell in favour, and Baldwin and Coun. Grant Meyer against. Coun. Louise Hutchinson was absent.

Effect of tolls on traffic one of many gaps, report says

Questions on Massey Bridge Jeff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouver staff are warning the province’s plan to replace the Massey Tunnel with a large new bridge could run counter to regional land-use goals. A report coming to Metro’s transportation committee Wednesday from senior regional planner Ray Kan cautions that a big new bridge may “unleash pent-up demand” and spur more people to drive on the Highway 99 corridor, or prompt transit riders and car pool users to instead drive alone. “Unfettered access could easily result in a congested facility,” his report said. “Further, an expanded facility may simply move the ‘bottleneck’ further downstream or upstream.” The report says more information is needed and much of the potential impact on regional growth may depend on whether the new bridge is tolled or not. Provincial officials have so far avoided talk of tolls on the promised bridge, and have said they don’t expect to estimate the effect of tolls on projected traffic flows until next spring. There is no detailed business case yet out for the project and the number of bridge lanes isn’t finalized. The head of the province’s Gateway program last month said traf-

The Metro report says the premier’s Sept. 20 announcement of a new bridge was “unexpected” due to the absence of more technical analysis and since “only limited information” has been provided by the province on the proposal. “It is unclear what basic demographic assumptions the ministry has been using to justify the proposed capacity on the bridge,” Kan’s report said, adding it’s also unclear what assumptions are built in on the potential expansion of port terminals at Roberts Bank and Fraser Surrey Docks. The bridge announcement throws a wrench into a number of planning initiatives. Metro’s regional growth strategy

didn’t anticipate a possible shift in growth pressure that might come from replacing the tunnel with a much larger bridge, he said. Kan also said the uncertainty around the new bridge casts doubt on the validity of technical work being carried out by TransLink for its new regional transportation strategy, a regional goods movement strategy that has been in the works for several months, as well as the ongoing Pattullo Bridge replacement review. A new bridge would meet modern seismic and lane width standards and provide direct access for cyclists and pedestrians, the report said, as well as bettter lane allocations for trucks and highoccupancy vehicles. But care would have to be taken to ensure it doesn’t undermine regional goals to contain growth, control air pollution and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Buses make up just one per cent of vehicles going through the tunnel, but carry 26 per cent of the people, thanks to dedicated lanes and queue-jumper ramps that speed buses past traffic jams on Highway 99. Several Metro Vancouver mayors have already been critical of the bridge plan, voicing concerns that the cost of up to $3 billion could push back their top priority – transit improvements.

We no longer claim ignorance

as the world become a safer place for children in the year since Lower Mainland teen Amanda Todd posted that heart-wrenching video and killed herself, Oct. 10, 2012? No, but we have learned a few things since. We’ve learned, for example, that the Internet can be a rough, cruel world for youth, unless they are taught how to protect themselves and their privacy. And we know that the Internet is a powerful tool for ruining someone’s reputation. We’ve seen that vulnerable girls and boys are easily exploited online by voyeurs who lure them with false names and post their pictures and videos, sometimes with devastating consequences. We learned, as well, that rape culture is so deeply engrained in our society that Canadian university students last month didn’t see anything wrong with ‘frosh week’ chants about sex with underage girls – until authorities found out and put a stop to it. We’ve learned that it’s easy to troll the Internet for photos and then post them, without consent, as a Facebook dating chat room did with a picture of Rehtaeh Parsons (the Nova Scotia teen who committed suicide after photos of an alleged gang-rape were posted). Simply put, laws are inadequate for dealing with meanness and stupidity on the web. But there has been some action, too. B.C.’s Erase Bullying website, available during the school year, provides resources for families with bullying concerns, and administrators and school counsellors are being trained to identify and support at-risk youth. The Kids Help Phone got more publicity about its services for kids, as has the Surrey School District/RCMP website, www.psst-bc.ca, which makes it easier for students to report all kinds of bullying behaviour online and off. Even workplace bullying has received a higher profile in the year since Todd’s death, with a new Workplace BC website addressing the issue, and the BC Coroner’s Service studied youth suicide this fall and recommended more collaboration and resources. Will all this talk prevent another Amanda Todd situation from occurring? Maybe not, but we can no longer have ignorance as an excuse.

And if you really want to turn off your readers, you can even write the whole thing in the third-person, which I once did for my old college newspaper, just to see what would happen. The response? Nick liked it. Others? Not so much. But whatever you write, you have to open yourself up a little bit, and in a Facebook age where everybody’s personal privacy settings are usually set on “high,” well, that can be a frightening thing. And sometimes you have to do it on a tight deadline. Tick tock, tick tock. It’s the reason I’ll start writing one slowly, in the hope that something different – written by someone else – will materialize in the meantime. Often, that is exactly what happens, and I’m able to exhale, and safely hit “save and close” on my document, my few disjointed thoughts stored away for another day, only to be completed when there are no other options. I have a folder on my computer called “columns in progress.” It may as well be subtitled, “In case of emergency, break glass,” because nothing inside gets finished unless all other options are exhausted. That folder is the second parachute. An ejector seat. A way out of trouble. It’s from where this column came from. “So, did anybody come up with anything?” comes the hopeful call from the editor’s office. “No,” everyone groans. Tick tock, tick tock. Deadlines are the best.

Barriers beat sound blasts Editor: Re: Mayor ‘will resist’ rail fencing, Sept. 24. The mayor’s position in this regard is perplexing, since public safety must be the paramount consideration. Any reasonable initiative to prevent further injury or death should be implemented post-haste as a matter of public-service duty for all officials at all levels of government. Further, if Transport Canada and BNSF construct the much-needed pedestrian warning signals and barriers at the East Beach crossing where the tragic death occurred (White Rock jogger killed by train, July 16), there is no need for train horns to blast the atmosphere at all hours, both day and night. Although current signage says no horn blowing after 8 p.m., we are consistently being blasted at midnight, 2 a.m., 4 a.m., etc. I am advised that California has signals and barriers at all crossings, allowing the total elimination of the highly irritating horn blasting. This would be a most excellent outcome for the many residents living in close proximity to the tracks. David Bradshaw, White Rock

people moved close to a mushroom farm and objected to the continual smell without success. Legal action followed, but I am not sure if the case actually went to court. Charles Parrott, Surrey

Rail was here, coal was not Editor: Re: Time to work as a team, Oct. 3 letters. I take exception to the letter writer’s statement: “I find it hard to understand that purchasers of homes impacted have such issues as train tracks after they purchase.” I purchased property many years ago in White Rock and, yes, I was aware of the train tracks.

At that time, the trains were not transporting mile-and-a-half long cars of dirty, powdered U.S. thermal coal through White Rock. These trains are polluting our air with coal dust/toxic diesel emissions, plus noise, etc. Yes, at this time we can’t tell them what they can or cannot transport. However, keep in mind that the smoking population at one time smoked with impunity anywhere they desired. This has changed. Thus an expanding grass-roots organization called Communities and Coal is bringing awareness of the negative impacts on health, business and the environment to the public in regard to thermal coal. They are to be commended, as they are giving so much of their time to organize town-hall meetings and petitions. Another meeting is scheduled for Oct. 16 at Colebrook

The funding of Tourism White Rock needs to be recognized as a joint responsibility of not just the business community, but a responsibility of our community’s policy makers and its citizens.a Barbara Smith

Homeowners have rights Editor: Re: The pub was here first, Oct. 3 letters. I respect the opinions of letterwriter Russell Marshall, but I have a problem with his suggestions. He admits the pub is a source of annoyance to neighbours who have to put up with the fights, garbage and noise. His solution: If you don’t like it, move out to sea where you may be disturbed by the whales. This shows a lack of concern and respect for the legitimate rights of homeowners to not be subjected to fights, garbage and noise. According to the original letter to PAN (Chaos at closing time, Sept. 24), homeowners sustain sleepless nights from the chaos which goes on till 2 a.m. This results in constant calls to police, who can only do so much. Marshall’s main point seems to be the pub was here first, and he suggests this implies a special status for patrons to have a good time and asks that homeowners be tolerant in this situation. There are no legal grounds to support this argument. In fact, there is precedent in tort law that recognizes that landowners have the right to the reasonable comfort and convenience in occupying their land. Under the law, loud noises are recognized as an example of a private nuisance. Legal remedy and civil liability is determined by the courts, and all mitigating circumstances on both sides are considered. Some readers may remember a few years ago, a private nuisance case from this area was settled in favour of the plaintiff. In this case,

United Church, 5441 125A St. Oh yes, the question most often asked is “Why don’t they cover the cars?” In the insurance world, covered powdered thermal-coal cars are considered an “inherent vice,” so there would be no insurance. Thermal-powdered coal is highly combustible. So, if the cars are covered the constant vibrations of the moving train or the heat from the sun could cause them to combust – go up in flame if covered. BNSF now sprays the top of each car with a surfactant much like a gummy-bear topping. However this becomes brittle and blows off during its journey. Empty cars are not sprayed, so there is more dust. Thankfully, several councils understand the issues and have voiced their opposition to a new coal terminal at Fraser Surrey Docks. Eve Weimer, White Rock

A decision by White Rock BIA to cut funding to Tourism White Rock – to focus on other initiatives – rankles some.

Better for business, better for all Editor: Re: BIA plans baffle mayor, Oct. 3. The news of the White Rock Business Improvement Association’s cut to tourism funding, I believe, is counterproductive to the community’s growth and well-being. Tourism is often misunderstood and only seen from an economic perspective. Many believe tourism is just about enticing tourists to come to a community, spend their money in local restaurants and shops and then go home. However, tourism, at its core, is about longerterm community sustainability – not only as it relates to economic development but to cultural, social and environmental benefits for the well-being of residents. It is a given that business needs a healthy economic environment to positively impact a community. If you take away the tourist spending, businesses may not be able to survive. Then it is the residents who suffer, with fewer restaurants, stores and services. It also translates into a smaller tax base and fewer jobs. But perhaps we need to reframe tourism as not just an economic driver? Tourism, by nature, has the capability of enriching the lives of those living in the community by providing the resources for infrastructure improvements; by reinforcing cultural identify through festivals, arts, theatre and events; by encouraging traditions, heritage and preservation; by supporting sports and well-being, thereby improving our quality of life by enhancing what we love about this place. White Rock Tourism does not exist solely for the benefit of businesses. Far from it. Tourism, if managed properly, provides much-needed additional economic inputs and, more importantly, provides residents with cultural, social and environmental enrichment. The funding of Tourism White Rock needs to be recognized as a joint responsibility of not just the business community, but a responsibility of our community’s policy makers and its citizens. Tourists have many wonderful and exciting destinations to choose from – other than White Rock – for a day-trip

or a few days by the sea. If White Rock doesn’t want the added benefits, other communities will gladly take them. And that would be a shame for businesses and residents. Barbara Smith, Surrey Q As a certified visitor-information counsellor with White Rock Tourism, it was with dismay that I read your article. Since April, Betina Albornoz and her associate, Anne Fahlman, have hired enough volunteers to staff the beach-side information kiosk seven days a week and keep the office and information centre uptown open five. We now have a booth at White Rock Farmers’ Market in conjunction with the White Rock Museum and, as a pilot project, brought in the free trolley for the summer to move visitors and locals between uptown and the beach. We promote and have a presence at most festivals and special events in the city. We promote all businesses in White Rock without bias. We now have a beautiful White Rock Visitors Guide that is being shipped to information centres in not only our province, but also throughout Alberta, Washington State and beyond. We have our own postcards, which are mailed all over the world. Our website is state-of-the-art and constantly updated to keep visitors, locals and businesses aware of opportunities available in our beautiful “City by the Sea.” To realize all that has been accomplished in just six short months – and then to hear the BIA is cutting some of Tourism White Rock’s funding – is a travesty. All summer long, as I spoke to countless visitors, I heard the same thing: “White Rock is one of the most beautiful places in the world, a highlight of our trip. Why are we not promoting overseas as a destination spot?” All of these things give our White Rock a place on the map, encouraging people to visit here, move here, eat in our restaurants, shop in our boutiques and attend our festivals and special events. Tourism drives economic growth, and isn’t that what the BIA is all about. Gini VanDer Meulen, Surrey

White Rock to remove couches, platform

‘Lots of work’ to clean ravine Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

It will take a little creativity and a lot of man power to dismantle and remove a make-shift platform and two couches at Duprez Ravine. According to White Rock’s manager of operations, crews will break down the couches and platform before removing them from the ecologically sensitive area. “There was a lot there,” Paul Slack said last week. “I think it was a bunch of young people that built a great, big platform. It’s huge. We’re trying to dismantle it, but it’s a lot of work.” The city discovered the platform about a month ago, Slack noted, and recently sent workers to take a look at how they could remove the items, located near Centennial Park, by 16 Avenue and High Street. After the platform and couches are broken down, a small electric utility vehicle will be used to remove the pieces from the ravine. “It’ll be a lot of man power,” Slack said. “They did a really amazing job with the platform in the trees so it’s a bit tricky for our guys. “I’m going to say it’s going to take about three or four days, full man power – so about three guys – to dismantle it and get it all out of there. “It’s not cheap.” According to Slack, the plat-

Two couches and a platform were found in Duprez Ravine. form is located on both city and private property and was built using good-quality lumber. More surprising than the skills used to create the platform was the lack of noise complaints from the residential area, he noted. “You figure something as big as what they did, people would have heard them working because they must have got their lumber some place and it’s good lumber, so somebody is missing some lum-

ber,” he said. The problem of make-shift structures being built on public land is not a new problem on the Peninsula. In 2007, a structure dubbed Ocean Park Terabithia – named after the Katherine Paterson novel Bridge to Terabithia – was built in the South Surrey neighbourhood, but was eventually removed after the city noted safety concerns and complaints from residents.

ministry will consider. The speed-limit review aims to generate recommendations by next spring, when the legislature reconvenes. Public forums on the issue will be held in Kamloops, Chilliwack, Vancouver, Nanaimo, Prince George, Dawson Creek, Cranbrook and Kelowna starting in November, with potentially more sites still to be added. One group advocating for higher speed limits is Sense BC, which was behind a recent viral video making the case for change. Sense BC’s Ian Tootill said even a 10 kilometre an hour increase on the Coquihalla to 120 wouldn’t be enough to match the prevailing speeds in summer. “I’m not suggesting the Coquihalla should be 150 or 160, but it shouldn’t be 120,” he said.

White Rock duo uses photography skills to help Langley Animal Protection Society

Dogged determination to help animals Brenda Anderson Black Press

Local animal lovers will know them best as Trav+Ash – a pair of White Rock blogger-photographers who have made it their personal mission to help an animal shelter’s cats and dogs find permanent, loving homes. By photographing some of the cutest furry faces the Langley Animal Protection Society has to offer and posting them online for the community to see, the couple have been drawing attention to the plight of dozens of animals at risk of living out the remainder of their lives in the shelter. Since Travis and Ashley Schulz began volunteering their time and artistic talents with LAPS, their images have melted hearts and helped some of the Patti Dale Animal Shelter’s most difficultto-place inhabitants connect with caring humans. “We love them,” said Jayne Nelson, manager of animal welfare at the Patti Dale Animal Shelter. Trav+Ash first came to the shelter’s attention a few years ago, when they donated a photography package for a fundraising gala. Then, a little over a year ago, the pair returned to offer their services, photographing the dogs and cats. “Little did we know how talented they were,” Nelson said, noting the photographs attract people’s attention. “That’s all we can ask for. Allowing the dogs’ and cats’ personalities to shine through in the images, that’s what it’s really about. “They’re so creative and so tuned in to the animals. They’re lovely together. And they’re so genuine and kind – to people and to animals – you just want to be around them.” Their images can be found on the LAPS Facebook page, on the couple’s blog at travandashblog. com and on petfinder.com Travis, 26, and Ashley, 25, met around the time they were finishing high school. Black Press caught up with them last month to find out what drives them to

element of some kind like a forest or by the water. BP: How did you two meet? A: We went to different high schools (in Langley). A mutual friend was trying to hook us up and we talked online for a while, but we didn’t meet face to face until right around graduation. We actually ran into each other totally unplanned. I was caught off guard and well, I fell for him immediately. BP: How, when and why did you get started taking photos? A: I started playing around with the art of photography around 2009. I decided to explore it in a deeper, more impactful way around 2011, which is when Trav’s curiosity was spiked and we joined forces.

T: Once I realized that I could draw real, raw emotion out of people. I had an epiphany that I didn’t have to take photos the way that everybody else takes photos. A: I was actually searching online for our wedding photographer when I discovered work that just absolutely blew my mind, like everything from Sarah and Chris Rhoads. I didn’t know that photography could be so beautiful while being so sincere and a little unconventional. I became obsessed and later gave myself the permission to make my own impactful photographs. BP: You specialize in wedding photography. Is that an area you’d aimed for from the outset, did it

take that turn on its own or is it just that it’s the most effective way to make a living as a photographer? Do you branch out from that area much, aside from the animal photos? T: We certainly love the beauty of weddings and the sentiments around them, but we have found a deeper love for lifestyle work and we’re actually turning our focus in that direction. A: What we love about lifestyle sessions is that we get to be explorers of the intimate, of who people really are and the connection they share. It is absolutely thrilling to evoke emotion and to document real memories. And actually, volunteering at LAPS has hugely impacted what we want to photograph, too. We love every minute of our time spent with homeless animals and especially when we get to witness deep connections between humans and animals. Lately, we’ve been recognizing a need to photograph these special bonds. We both strongly believe that memories are the best thing we’ll ever have. BP: Why did you start a blog as opposed to a more traditional website? T: The blog is a lot more personal and that’s the point of all of this for us. We want our subjects to cherish photographs that show who they really are – silly, weird, deep, whatever that may be. If we want sincerity from others, then we want to give that too. So, I think the blog says, “This is us. For real.” We want our blog to be a megaphone for us to tell true stories of people and animals. We want to be a little unexpected, to show people what they don’t realize they’re missing out on. And of course, a tool where we can continue to help save animals. BP: How and why did you become involved with LAPS? A: When we moved into our first place, the first thing we got before we even had any furniture, was our sweet dog, Marley, who i see page 12

Sharing inspiration through photos A: Our hope is that you will see the essence of their souls through their photos and feel inclined to help that animal out in some way. BP: Any favourite four legged models so far? A: I always favour the underdog… the black dogs and cats, the ‘bully’ breeds, the seniors, the injured or sick, the scared animals that require more patience. My heart goes out to the ones that the majority of us overlook. Gertie, the recently adopted senior pit bull was a long time favourite of mine. BP: Obvious question, but I have to ask it… What do you hope your photos will accomplish? T: Remind people every day what they have. Inspire people to be closer, live fuller, to love louder. A: Everything Trav just said. Plus the desire to adopt an incredible dog or cat instead of buying one.

The duo’s photos aim to raise awareness for LAPS. to first build trust and get our subject comfortable with the situation. And just like people, dogs and cats each have individual personalities which requires us to discover different incentives that make that unique creature respond. Just like people, some

animals are energetic while others are scared, guarded or slow to warm up. BP: What are you trying to convey in these photos? What stories are you trying to tell? T: We’re trying to give you a glimpse into who these creatures honestly are.

i from page 11 we adopted in 2008. We were so excited to rescue a dog and we really just drove to the first animal shelter that we saw which was LAPS. Marley had been through a life of abandonment. Yet, he was so incredible and he showed us so much love. In a tragic turn of events, Marley passed from a horrible accident a few months after we adopted him. He so quickly became our everything and that just really broke me. But I made a promise to him that I would do everything I could to help other animals like him. BP: What is it about LAPS that convinced you to donate your time and artistic energy to their cause? T: With starting up our blog this past January, we just realized that we had this tool right at our fingertips to help animals. Choosing LAPS to work with was a no brainer. The whole adoption process with Marley was very educational and positive. The trainers help discarded animals become more adoptable, they seek the right match when placing an animal, and every staff member and volunteer is so kind and supportive. A: Plus, LAPS united us with Marley and that’s something we’ll always be thankful for. BP: Do you have any pets now? T: We have two dogs, Soda and Pickles, and a cat named Crackers. A: We’re in the process of rebranding our blog towards our focus of lifestyle and animal photography, and we’re excited to announce that Soda, Pickles and Crackers are going to have their own little blog features so everyone can learn more about who they are and the important roles they play in our lives. BP: How has working with the animal models challenged you as compared to the human variety? T: We have to find different ways to communicate. An animal, especially in a shelter environment, isn’t going to necessarily listen to direction the same as a human would. A: I think there are more similarities than not. No matter if we’re photographing a person or an animal, we have

Pumping water into aquifers during the rainy season for later use in dry weather is cheaper than building dams, does not pre-empt valley bottom lands and minimizes evaporation loss. Treating urban waste water to fit it for agricultural or industrial use is cheaper than desalination, which requires huge amounts of energy. Locally, we know what should be done – don’t leave taps running and repair leaking faucets; clean driveways with a stiff broom instead of a jet of water; prefer showers to baths; water gardens in early morning, if at all, and set irrigation systems to spread water only on plots and lawns, not pathways and pavements; surface sports fields with artificial turf instead of water-requiring grass, and accept browns rather than greens for golf courses, ensure pipes don’t leak. Ways and means are available. The advice has been wellpublicized over the years. How well are we heeding and applying it? Look around, and it’s apparent that we could do better – individually and collectively. Dr. Roy Strang writes monthly on the environment for the Peace Arch News. rmstrang@shaw.ca

One-fifth of cards fail during beta test

KITCHENS & BATH

TransLink eyes Compass fixes Jeff Nagel Black Press

A three-week beta test of TransLink’s new Compass-card payment system found nearly a fifth of the 10,000 volunteers forgot to tap off with their cards as they exited the transit system and may have paid too much. Users tap their Compass card against readers to board a bus or pass through new SkyTrain faregates. They’re supposed to tap off again when they leave to record how far they went and have their account debited accordingly; those who forget are billed for the maximum three zones. Eighty-one per cent of users remembered to tap out during the test period, which recorded a total of 568,760 taps. TransLink vice-president Mike

File photo

Mike Madill with TransLink’s new Compass card. Madill said the system performed well overall, but testers flagged several problems TransLink is working to fix. They found the validators on

buses were often slow to detect cards. Many passengers also found the green screen colour of the Compass card readers hard to read. Another glitch is the card readers on buses only work when the bus engine is running. Madill said TransLink is looking for a fix so drivers aren’t forced to keep buses idling. He noted many testers waited for screen confirmation, when they could just proceed as soon as they hear a beep. Making sure people know that will be part of an intense publiceducation campaign, he said. Madill said the budget for Compass card public outreach has been raised to $8 million from around $5 million previously. The initial $171 million project cost has now climbed to $194.2 million.

London Drugs to host Compass card machines Transit riders will be able to reload or buy Compass cards at vending machines in 18 London Drugs stores – including South Surrey, Cloverdale and South Delta – starting early next year. TransLink’s partnership with the B.C.-based retailer will give transit users access to the machines at more locations besides rapid-transit stations, as

the new smart-card payment system rolls out. Existing retailers who now sell TransLink passes and tickets will be able to sell preloaded Compass cards, but those outlets won’t be able to reload them. London Drugs was selected to host the in-store machines after a competitive bidding process. Mike Madill, TransLink vice-

president of enterprise initiatives, said no money is changing hands but declined to provide details on the deal with the retailer. Passengers will also be able to reload cards by phone or online. They can also set the Compass card to automatically reload whenever the card value drops below a set level. – Jeff Nagel

ombudsman probed the Khaira case, declared it intolerable and issued a dozen recommendations in 2011 that have largely been ignored. Khaira was ordered to repay more than $236,800 in unpaid wages but Sinclair said workers only got about half of that amount and only because the province withheld the money and redirected it to them. The co-owners of the Surrey company, Khalid Bashwa and Hardilpreet Sidhu, have denied mistreating workers and questioned why they kept coming back for work if they were unhappy. Sinclair dismissed that argument. “These are refugees trying to make a buck to survive in Canada, their new country. They don’t speak the language that well. They don’t know their rights and they’re really vulnerable to being exploited. We have to be on guard, we owe it to these people to make sure it doesn’t happen.” The tribunal is expected to continue for several weeks.

Order issued on meter fees Tom Fletcher Black Press

Energy Minister Bill Bennett has issued a cabinet order to the B.C. Utilities Commission to make sure it approves fees high enough to cover the costs of customers opting out of BC Hydro’s smart meter program. The order in council, signed by Bennett and Environment Minister Mary Polak, instructs the independent regulator to approve extra fees sufficient to meet the cost of manually reading mechanical electricity meters that remain in use, or collecting readings from digital meters that have their radio

transmitter turned off on request of the customer. The order also directs the BCUC to approve fees to cover the costs of “failed installations,” either because the customer refused or because an obstacle was placed in the way of the installer. A spokesman for Bennett confirmed that the BCUC may still decide to lower the opt-out fees proposed by BC Hydro, or it may increase them if costs warrant. BC Hydro sent letters in September to about 60,000 residential customers who have refused wireless meters, giving them until December to choose. If customers

insist on keeping their old meter, a $35 monthly fee applies effective Dec. 1. If they accept a smart meter with the “radio off,” a $100 setup fee is proposed, followed by $20 a month to collect readings starting April 1. If customers do not register a choice by Dec. 1, their meter will be left as is and the $35 monthly fee will be added to their bill. As it does with rate increases, BC Hydro will start charging its proposed fees as it prepares to defend them before the BCUC. If the commission orders changes, bills would be adjusted.

Don McRae touring province

VICTORIA – One of Christy Clark’s first crises as premier was a 2011 revolt by parents and caregivers over money-saving changes to the B.C. government agency responsible for developmentally disabled people.

Earlier runoff could spell summer water supply problems in B.C.

Warmer winters projected Jeff Nagel Black Press

Climate change will likely mean warmer, rainier winters in B.C. as well as reduced summer stream flows, a forum in Vancouver heard last week as new international findings were released. Dr. Francis Zwiers, director of the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium (PCIC) and vicechair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) working group 1, said projections for B.C. point to further warming of 2.9 degrees in the winter and 2.4 degrees in the summer by 2100, under a moderate carbon emission scenario. Winter warming on that scale could translate into 17 to 51 more days per year of frost-free conditions, he told the forum, in the wake of the already measured reduction of 24 annual frost days since 1900 and a 2.1-degree increase in the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s average winter temperatures. While a longer growing season might be a boon to gardeners and farmers, Zwiers noted warming winters have also allowed unwanted species like the mountain pine beetle to flourish and wreak havoc on Interior forests.

The mountain pine beetle may not be the only undesirable species to exploit warming temperatures in B.C. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an impact that has been linked to a changing climate,â&#x20AC;? Zwiers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can just imagine there would be many other organisms that would find B.C. to be a much more hospitable place to live, even in a slightly warmer climate than we have at the moment, or a slightly wetter climate than we have at the moment.â&#x20AC;? PCIC researchers projected climate changes in B.C. over the rest of this century using the same models as the IPCC. Winter warming would be greater in the northeast than other parts of the province, while summer warming projections are roughly uniform.

Zwiers said the modeling shows winter, spring and fall precipitation will increase in B.C., with a 10 per cent increase in precipitation in winters expected and summers potentially getting wetter in the north but drier in the south. Wetter, warmer winters could affect the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supply of water for drinking, farming, power generation and salmon migration. With less water being stored as snow over the winter, Zwiers said, B.C. can expect higher amounts of winter and spring runoff, leaving less behind in the upper elevations to deliver water in summer. The new IPCC report reiterated that the planet is warming and people are the probable cause. But some observers criticized it for downgrading projected temperature increases due to a 15-year â&#x20AC;&#x153;pauseâ&#x20AC;? in average surface temperature rise. Zwiers maintained human influence is clear and action is urgently needed to both reduce emissions and adapt to expected â&#x20AC;&#x153;substantialâ&#x20AC;? impacts. The IPCC report predicts Canada will face more warming than the global average, along with more frequent and more intense extreme weather events.

Winter blues?

Barbados offers something for everyone. With annual average temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and gentle breezes from the Caribbean Sea, Barbados is an idyllic vacation spot for your winter getaway. There are many things to do to keep you busy while vacationing on the beautiful island of Barbados. Museums, rum distilleries, Plantation Homes, Harrison’s Caves, Flower Forest, Atlantis Submarines, catamaran cruises and so much more. “Walk Barbados” offers free (donations welcome) guided walking tours to various island attractions every Sunday. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy watching (or playing) a game of cricket, soccer, net ball, polo, sailing, surfing, scuba diving and snorkelling or playing a round or two of golf on one of Barbados’s five courses. Rent a car and take a drive around the island (driving is on the right side). You may get lost once or twice but don’t worry; just stop and ask one of the friendly Barbadians for directions and you will be on your way. As an alternative, try the 4x4 Island Safari tour which takes you inland and allows you view the rugged coastline of the East Coast, while someone else does the driving. (Lunch included.) Local bus service can also be a convenient and inexpensive way to travel

on the island. While in Barbados, there is usually a festival of some kind going on. Barbados Food, Wine & Rum festival takes place in November. Crop Over festival takes place in August and is by far one of the most popular events. Oistins Fish fry takes place every Friday night, on Barbados south coast, which attracts locals and tourists alike. Barbados’s limestone structures give it one of the purest water supplies in the Caribbean, which means the water is safe to drink. Adults may enjoy the local “Banks” beer or one of the famous internationally known rums such as Malibu and Mount Gay. Looking to get married or renewing your vows? Barbados has no waiting period or minimum stay. As soon as the marriage license is obtained, you can be married. From being married on the beach, in a church, or in a plantation home, Barbados is an ideal island paradise to say “I do.” Accommodation on the island includes: guest houses, private villas, hotels, resorts and self catering apartments. With many options for dining, there is no shortage of places to eat out, if you decide to go with European Plan. If you prefer all inclusive resorts, Barbados offers properties on both the south and west coast. Daily flight service is available on Air Canada (via Toronto) to Barbados. Westjet offers air service on Mon/Wed/Fri/ Sat via Toronto. Give us a call, or come by the office and speak to one of our travel consultants to help you plan your perfect Caribbean vacation.
