BNSF installs more fencing, plans to turn Coldicutt staircase into dead-end
‘Worst trespassing in the northwest’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
More fencing is going up on White Rock’s West Beach – this time, in an effort to curb trackside trespassing between the west end of Bayview Park and the Coldicutt Ravine staircase. Once the 40-foot chainlink barrier is up, it means the boat launch will be the city’s only legal access to the waterfront west of the pier. The work, by railway owner BNSF, started

day – but it is not the last of new fencing planned for the seaside tracks. BNSF spokesperson Gus Melonas told Peace Arch News that designs are in the works for the foot of the Coldicutt stairs “to block people from entering onto the right-of-way” – effectively turning the popular pedestrian access into a dead-end north of the tracks. As well, discussions are to take place with the Semiahmoo First Nation next week regarding fencing eyed to stretch east for
about 140 feet starting from the Finlay Street pedestrian crossing. The work, Melonas said, is “per discussions with Transport Canada and in agreement with BNSF plans to further enhance safety.” He said the recent increased focus is “driven greatly” by the July 2013 death of a jogger on East Beach and an incident in February in which a senior who wandered onto the West Beach tracks was struck a glancing blow. i see page 4

Community support building to maintain summer tradition
Sea fest organizers all set to make a little magic Alex Browne Staff Reporter
The White Rock Events Society is hoping that a synergy of community pride and volunteerism – as well as momentum generated by the 65th anniversary of the celebration – will result in a revived and reinvigorated White Rock Sea Festival for the Aug. 1-3 weekend. And society president Michelle Pedersen says many of the pieces are
already coming together – including a White Rock city float for the 28th annual torchlight parade (Sunday, Aug. 3, 9 p.m.) with a centrepiece designed by a Disney artist. Adding excitement to this year’s plans is confirmation of the Powder Blues Band as mainstage headline entertainers for Saturday night. And Pedersen noted a well-timed dance Friday night at Star of the Sea Hall featuring White Rock’s
Ra McGuire and Trooper – presented by the White Rock Business Improvement Association and Rock.It Boy Entertainment – will ramp up energy for the weekend. The Vancouver Aquarium will also be a high-profile participant, Pedersen said, with stations and displays as part of its new proactive publicity campaign. “They approached us, so that’s definitely confirmed,” she said.
“That’s going to be huge.” The fireworks display – a wellloved feature of the celebration threatened in recent years with cancellation due to lack of funds – has also been “locked in” to conclude the Saturday night festivities. Pedersen’s mother, Deanna, is co-ordinating and designing the city’s parade float with the theme, ‘Enchanted Waters: a magical look under the sea’ – featuring a
10-foot-tall coral castle sculpture created by film sculptor John Sund. “Something like that would usually take two months and cost at least $10,000 – he did it for us in two weeks and we did not pay that,” Pedersen said. She noted that a credible float on the summer-festival circuit is what attracts reciprocal participation in a hometown parade. i see page 4

The big challenge with this

plan is how to get voters to agree with the mayors’ ideas of how to pay for it. They propose tapping into the provincial carbon tax, but that is a non-starter. Their backup plan is to add a new regional carbon tax of about 5.5 cents per litre to the cost of gas. They are prepared to reduce the gas tax to 11 cents per litre from 17 cents, but only after road pricing has been added – which is likely years away. So the price of gas would rise by 5.5 cents per litre soon, and (perhaps) be cut by six cents at some distant point, when that revenue is replaced by road pricing. When TransLink boosted gas taxes by two cents to 17 cents per litre, to pay for the Evergreen Line, the effect was instant and dramatic. Many more people headed to the U.S. to buy gas, and often a great deal more. Another 5.5 cent per litre tax will hurt, and likely kill off, many local businesses who are affected by cross-border competition. This is particularly true when gas is already $1.52 per litre. The mayors should take a good hard look at the carbon-tax idea, and perhaps come up with some type of road pricing much sooner. For example, how about people who drive more paying a small surcharge on their car insurance? The proposed carbon tax may be enough to lead voters to reject this plan, when it goes to referendum. As voter approval is required, it may mean a solid, forward-looking plan fails because of tax issues. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

NDP critic chastises minister over volunteer work on Kwantlen board
Calls for Surrey MLA to resign cabinet Tom Fletcher Black Press
MLA Amrik Virk
Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk violated spending rules as a university board member in 2010-’12 and should not be allowed to continue as the cabinet minister responsible for enforcing those rules, NDP leader John Horgan said Wednesday. The Surrey-Tynehead MLA should resign from cabinet or be fired by Premier Christy Clark, Horgan added. Horgan was commenting on the find-
ings of an investigation into the hiring of two senior executives at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. The review found that extra “consulting fees” of $50,000 paid to Kwantlen’s president and former vice-president were not reported as part of their compensation. They were paid separately to get around compensation limits when they were being hired, the review concluded. Horgan said Virk – an RCMP inspector before running in the 2013 B.C. election – knows he broke the rules.
“He signed off on a contract for $50,000 with no deliverables to that institution as a pre-employment contract, violating the rules that he was sworn to uphold as the person responsible to that institution,” Horgan said. Virk spoke to reporters Tuesday when the report from assistant deputy minister Rob Mingay was released. He called it “a humbling moment” and said that he was not properly informed on the financial reporting rules for hiring university executives at the time. He also
vowed to make sure current directors of public institutions are properly trained. “In some ways I almost feel a little bit let down that I didn’t have the fullest information at my hand, or the fullest of training as a volunteer board member,” Virk said. Finance Minister Mike de Jong ordered the review after the extra payments were raised in the legislature by advanced education critic David Eby. The results are “troubling,” de Jong said, when the report was released.
Unveiling postponed
Sculpture hit again Monique Tamminga Black Press
The planned re-unveiling Saturday of a horse sculpture that was vandalized in Langley nearly a year ago has been sidelined by more damage. The colourful life-sized sculpture – dubbed ‘Tattoo’ and the work of South Surrey artist and retired Langley Fine Arts teacher Marilyn Dyer – was targeted overnight last Friday, less than 20 hours after its installation at a Brookswood park. Culprits hacked off the alreadyscarred sculpture’s hooves and left a graffiti tag on its body. Last July, vandals tore the fibreglass piece apart, chopping off its head and legs. Diane Gendron, of the Langley Arts Council, said she is profoundly disappointed. “The Langley Arts Council and the Brookswood Merchants put that beautiful sculpture at that very park so kids could enjoy it and it was to provide a sense of pride for the community,” said Gendron. “Sadly, there are members of the community who want only to destroy.” Saturday’s planned unveiling was to celebrate Brookswood Days. “No Tattoo in the park for Brookswood Days, no happy celebration with Ella Little from the Brookswood Merchants, Marilyn Dyer, the artist who painted Tattoo, and author Ruthie Charles (who created a book around the horse story) and no poster beside the horse explaining its value to the community,” Gendron said, noting everyone involved in bringing the sculpture to life is determined not to let the vandals win. Tattoo – currently in storage – will eventually be returned to the public pasture, she said.

Rescue crews use the Jaws of Life to release a crash victim who later told court he now suffers daily physical pain from the 2009 collision.
4½-year sentence after one of 13 victims issue impact statement
‘This is a life I never wanted to live’ Monique Tamminga Black Press
A 26-year-old Surrey man has been sentenced to 4½ years in jail and a 10-year driving ban for swerving a stolen Ford F-350 truck into oncoming traffic on Highway 10 near 192 Street, causing a horrific six-vehicle crash that left at least two victims with life-altering scars and injuries in 2009. Jason Brewer pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal negligence causing bodily harm in New Westminster Supreme Court. At Brewer’s sentencing Friday, Judge Selwyn Romilly also issued a one-year term to Brewer for causing a police pursuit on Dec. 31, 2012 in Langley. At the time of the pursuit, he was prohibited from driving, on probation and using a vehicle he wasn’t authorized to use. With credit for time served, Brewer will be out in 2½ years. Crown had asked for four to five years for the crash. His defence lawyer was asking for three. The court heard that in November 2009 Brewer had started a new job as a day labourer with a landscaping business. On Nov. 14, Brewer borrowed the company Ford F-350 truck to get dinner for the crew. Instead, he admits to getting high all that night.
The next day, at 3:19 p.m., Brewer, high on crack and pot, drove the truck on Highway 10, west of 192 Street, driving at what he said was 140 km/h, when he swerved into oncoming traffic, hitting six vehicles with 13 occupants. The injuries the crash caused left at least four people with lifelong problems. First he hit a Nissan Pathfinder, striking the driver’s side door. He then collided head-on with a GMC Jimmy. Inside the vehicle was a man and woman. The vehicle was so damaged, the Jaws of Life were used to get the pair out. Their injuries were life-threatening. The Ford F-350 then became airborne, barrel rolling over three more vehicles before striking a lamp standard, causing live wires to crash down. Brewer sustained no injuries. He told at least two doctors that he tried to commit suicide that day. At one point, he had pleaded guilty to the crimes but then withdrew his pleas based on the fact that he now denied he was trying to kill himself. An appeals court judge allowed him to withdraw his pleas. In his trial, he pleaded guilty. The couple who were in the Jimmy wrote victim-impact statements expressing a life of misery and pain since the crash. The man, now 41, said “at the age of 36,
everything I have strived for changed very violently and painfully.” He is in daily physical pain, had to learn how to walk again, but still can barely do so. He has massive scars, more surgeries ahead and debilitating headaches. “This is a life I never wanted to live because of a choice made by the accused,” he said. The man’s girlfriend spent six months in hospital, followed by two months living in a homeless shelter. She suffers from nightmares and increased physical pain. She suffered burns to much of her body from the engine block, a lacerated liver and many broken bones. The pain was so excruciating she wished for death. The others injured in the crash suffered muscle injuries and anxiety and continue to be in pain. Brewer began drinking his parent’s alcohol at 12, used cocaine every day since age 17, and later started using crystal meth. A psychological assessment of Brewer found that he may suffer from being bipolar, has abandonment issues, impulse and addiction issues and when he acts out, it is violent. In an unrelated case, Brewer faces murder charges in the shooting death of a man in a Willoughby basement suite on Dec. 31, 2012. His trial for that is set for March 2015.

New gate repaired after damage i from page 1 Melonas described the volume of trespassing issues along the railway’s line through White Rock as “absolutely unprecedented.” “In one concentrated area, nothing compares to what we experience at White Rock,” he said, noting that the whole of Washington State recorded 20 trespassing fatalities last year and 16 in 2012. In White Rock, “the amount of people that are constantly going under, over, through (the railings), walking on the tracks… The numbers are alarming,” he said. “The promenade presents the largest ongoing trespass situation we face in the northwest.” Tuesday’s prep work for the west-end fence took place as City of White Rock staff worked to complete safety measures at the nearby boat launch – measures that are hoped to lift a Transport Canada order that led to the city’s
installation of a locked gate early last week. The lock was removed Friday afternoon, following discussions at the waterfront between city, BNSF and Transport Canada officials. (Transport Canada inspector Dennis Maskell notes the decision to lock the gate was the city’s; the city says the locked gate was understood to be ordered.) Additional steps at the boat launch Tuesday included installation of a stop sign. Cross-hatching and the words ‘No Stopping on Tracks’ have already been painted on the paved approach. Director of engineering Greg St. Louis said he has asked the Transport Canada inspector who ordered control measures to inspect the latest improvements this week. He noted one modification – of metal plates added to the gate to prevent it opening towards the tracks – had to be replaced and reinforced early Monday, after
someone forced the gate backwards, blocking the tracks. He said the effort required means the damage was likely the work of “two burly guys” or someone in a vehicle. Other than the bent plates, the gate showed no obvious sign of damage. St. Louis said complaint calls to the city regarding the recent changes at West Beach have tapered off since the lock was removed; the main concerns he’s hearing now are to do with the increase in train whistling. That, too, is the result of a Transport Canada order, which directed BNSF to ensure its trains were sounding their whistles intermittently for the duration of their journey along the waterfront. Melonas said all of the steps are in the name of safety. “The point is just to look at the tracks,” he said. “It’s part of an education for everybody. One (death) is too many.”
‘Tremendous opportunity’ for fest i from page 1 “White Rock was a very significant presence in the ‘floating’ community for decades,” she said. “Maureen McMillan, who did the parade for years, has been very instrumental in bringing the community back and we already have 30 floats confirmed – although we need someone to provide us with more convertibles for dignitaries to ride in.” Community organizations, such as White Rock Rotary, Tourism White Rock and Semiahmoo Arts, are also coming on board to contribute to this year’s plans, Pedersen said, while the RCMP and the society have already done much preliminary work co-ordinating event logistics. “Things are going far better than anticipated, and we seem to be getting the support of the community,” she said, acknowledging that getting a brandnew organizing society off the

But Pedersen acknowledges that an emotional milestone has been a return to the original
‘White Rock Sea Festival’ brand. Tarnished by a financial scandal that impacted the original organization in the 1990s, the sea festival became the Spirit of the Sea Festival, presented by the Community of Lights Events Society. While noting a community perception that the festival had declined in recent years, Pedersen said the current board has no wish to assign blame to earlier organizers. “It’s very hard keeping a team together,” she said. She views a new beginning as “a tremendous opportunity” for White Rock. “There’s no crime in maintaining a tradition – it doesn’t have to decline, it doesn’t have to change. It’s something our little city should be proud of,” she said. “It’s fun, when you’re not afraid of the potential. I was afraid six months ago, but I’m not afraid now.”

Blood-donor clinic held in honour of beating victim
Giving life after his death Sheila Reynolds Black Press
On the night he was killed in a Cloverdale church parking lot, Matthew Skura had stepped in to help a friend who had been punched in a fight. And now, five years after the 21-year-old’s death, his mom is hoping a blood-donor clinic organized in his honour will allow her son to once again give back to others. It was May 28, 2009 when Skura was hanging out with his friends. They’d been drinking and had a run-in with a group of teens who were also inebriated. Words were exchanged and then punches. One of the teens charged at Skura’s longtime friend, knocking him out. When Skura pulled the attacker away, he was delivered a sucker-punch blow, sending him to the ground. Once there, another teen delivered what would prove to be a fatal kick to Skura’s head. He died in hospital on May 29. In late 2010, two teens were found guilty of manslaughter in connection with his death. Though it’s been five years, Skura’s mom Cheryl Vinall still finds that May is the toughest month as grief that she manages all year swells and becomes

For several years now, she’s wanted to celebrate her boy, but every time she’d start to put the wheels in motion, she would be too overwhelmed with grief to continue. This year, she managed, somehow, to muster the courage to contact Canadian Blood Services. “Procrastination is a wicked
force against grief,” says Vinall. An all-day donor clinic is planned for June 22 in Langley. Vinall would love to see the place full of friends, family and anyone else who wants to make a blood donation and honour Matthew. Skura, in his death, has already given back. His organs were donated, saving five people’s lives and providing sight to a sixth. “All of those people needed blood to make his gift a success,” Vinall says. The In Memory of Matthew Skura Blood Drive takes place June 22, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Blacklock Fine Arts Elementary, 5100 206 St. in Langley. A yellow T-shirt with the words “Donate Life” and Skura’s signature enveloped in a heart will be worn by Skura’s family and friends at the clinic and there will be cake to celebrate the life of someone his mom calls “a beautiful young man.” Anyone living in other cities across Canada can also donate anytime in Skura’s honour, quoting the Matthew Skura Partners for Life #INME497411 and their donation will be tallied in the total.

Off the rails
T
he City of White Rock, BNSF and Transport Canada seem to agree on only one thing about the city’s latest railway safety controversy. Ongoing fencing-off of train tracks along the waterfront will be a fact of life, so long as the railway is here, and so long as beach visitors can’t be trusted to respect the obvious perils of an active line. It’s too bad the three parties, in all their discussions over the years, have never been able to agree on safe alternatives for beach access – whether in the form of signalled crossings, pedestrian bridges or tunnels under the track. The tunnel option existed for many years on West Beach at Elm Street – constructed more than a century ago by the Great Northern Railway, BNSF’s corporate ancestor, at the order of the Railway Commission of Canada, pre-cursor to Transport Canada. It’s interesting that, in that era at least, the federal body was as concerned with residents’ rights of access as it was with safety, while the railway’s standard approach was to fence everything and block all access to the beach. The eight-foot-wide tunnel was, by all accounts, not a perfect solution. It silted up every year and had to be cleared, and there were flooding concerns because the ‘subway’ was below sea level. (In fact, it functioned as a conduit for hillside runoff, and some see its latter-day removal as a contributor to the great flood of 1999.) In 1947, the White Rock Board of Trade asked Surrey – then White Rock’s governing municipality – to push the Railway Commission for safer access to the beach in the form of overpasses and underpasses at street ends. Surrey got as far as costing out an overpass at the pier, but the idea was never pursued. Is it not possible that engineering methods have improved over the intervening years – allowing for easier and safer crossing options? Or do the present-day parties even have an interest in working out a reasonable and workable solution? The recent blame game over the installation of a locked gate at the West Beach boat launch seems to suggest other forces at play here. The city says it had the clear understanding that installation of a permanently locked gate was ordered by Transport Canada, while Transport Canada says it was not. How does such a misunderstanding arise? Whatever the explanation, the chain-link fences springing up along the waterfront this month seem to symbolize a determination toward confrontation rather than a desire for compromise.

question week
For every organized sport they’ve taken up, they’ve spent their own free time on their skills – in the park, in our yard, together, alone, with friends. My kids move, all the time. In addition to the organized stuff, they walk, bike and skateboard regularly, have newspaper routes, play unorganized sports with friends several times a week, swim at the pool, workout at the gym, have Nerf gun battles and so much more. Do they still spend too much time in front of screens? Sometimes I think so, but they’re usually online price checking their next pair of cleats or ice skates, connecting with teammates, and looking for more things to enrol in. Or, they’re partaking in some welldeserved downtime. Do we watch too much television? Depends if TSN counts as useless programming. I struggle with this myself, but it’s hard to turn off an NHL game when it leads to the boys heading outside with hockey sticks in hand. And yes, I realize we are able to keep the kids busy because we are financially comfortable. Registration fees, gear, and getting them here and there, it all adds up. But where there’s a will, there’s a way. We car pool, buy used gear where possible, co-share costs between two households, and make sure to write off registration fees at tax time. Now, if only driving them around to games, practices, tournaments and sporting goods stores could be made into a physical activity. I’d be looking at an A+ grade, and looking like a marathon runner.

Sorting out recyclables Editor: Re: U.S. recyclables put depot in bind, June 10. Bottle-depot owner Heimin Lee’s story about recycling problems reminds me of my recent run-in with the BC Liquor Distribution Branch. I am concerned about our environment and always try to do my best at reducing, reusing and recycling, so imagine my chagrin when I took a couple of dozen used wine bottles to the liquor store only to have half of them rejected because they had American labels on them. I told the clerk I wasn’t interested in the refund; I simply wanted to have the bottles recycled. Still rejected, I wrote to someone in the distribution branch’s environmental-initiatives department asking for an explanation, using the perhaps naive assumption that a bottle is a bottle is a bottle, so what difference does it make which label is on it? Needless to say, I got no reply. Isn’t it time someone sent us an explanation from ‘on high’ as to the government’s position on what is, and what isn’t, recyclable? Jim Armstrong, Surrey Q It is important to clarify some points about Multi-Material BC’s packaging and printed-paper recycling program. Beverage containers – such as those for pop, juice and alcohol – are covered under a different schedule of B.C.’s recycling regulation, and are part of a different extended producer-responsibility program, than packaging and printed paper, the materials accepted in MMBC’s program. Examples of containers accepted in MMBC’s include pickle jars, milk cartons and metal cans. None of the material provided by MMBC to the public or to our depot collectors has indicated that beverage containers are accepted in our program. Allen Langdon, Multi-Material BC
Recreation and parks Editor: We have lived in White Rock for 24 years. There never has been anything for our grandchildren. Is it not time we build a place where our kids can go to hang out as we elders do with our friends? What about a longboarding facility here, as they have in Surrey? Wake up, you council members, and get with the program. With respect. Dolores Diachok, White Rock Q Re: Regulating our parks, June 10 letters. I agree with the previous letter from Guy Shaddock, regarding restrictions in our parks. Why are large areas permanently and expensively fenced off from public use? The Sunnyside baseball
diamonds are now surrounded by fencing, with very small bypass corridors for the public to get by. How is it that these large portions of our parks, which are only used for perhaps five per cent of the time, are now off limits to the rest of us for 95 per cent of the time? We all pay for these parks from our property taxes. Surely a more equitable solution would be to have these areas reserved for the days that they are to be used, with free access to all of us on all the other days. Think about it, parks board! Ed Page, Surrey
Educational experience Editor: The Minister of Education has requested – via his website – that citizens write their local papers regarding the teachers strike. I am obliging him. As a self-employed person with six children who have gone through the public school system, I have watched governments try to crush the BCTF for almost 30 years.
None has seemed more intent on doing so than Premier Christy Clark and minister Peter Fassbender. They have guaranteed no new schools will be built with their decree that school boards must pay half the cost of building any new schools. This effectively brings to a halt any new school construction, as school boards are already grossly underfunded. Surrey School District is the fastest-growing in the province, and many of our high schools are bursting at the seams. Earl Marriott and Lord Tweedsmuir secondaries have students arriving in two shifts because they are so overcrowded. This BC Liberal government cannot take “no” for an answer and has twice appealed the Supreme Court’s ruling that it acted illegally in 2002 and needs to reinstate class size etc. and pay $200,000 to the BCTF. These stripped provisions were fairly bargained for, and our teachers gave up salary increases in order to see them included. I would like an accounting of the cost of those appeals, as it is public money being used to fund them. They have locked teachers out, yet they sought a Labour Relations Board ruling to make exams and marking an essential service. When
would teachers do this when they are locked out? Ms. Clark, you cannot have it both ways. The government will now save millions of dollars as teachers strike, and will then turn around and offer their money back to them in the guise of a “bonus” or “learning improvement fund.” The writing is on the wall. This government wants to privatize education – and it would be a travesty. As citizens of this province, we need to unite in solidarity for our public school system and our teachers. This government is taking us toward a slippery slope from which there will be no return. We do not want the American education system in B.C. Our children will suffer for it far more than the few days off while teachers strike for the benefit of teachers and students. Kate McMaster, Surrey Q I think there should be more male teachers, because in the school that I went to there were only two plus the janitor. Some people haven’t had a male teacher before. So I think the government should convince more male teachers. Ronan Drismir (age 10), Surrey

White Rock railing over orders Editor: Re: City livid over waterfront barricade, June 12; BNSF to close West Beach waterfront railing gaps, May 27. Should we put up fences around everything that could be dangerous? We moved to White Rock less than a year ago because of the beautiful situation by the ocean, the beautiful beaches and the great sea wall for long walks. It’s a very European feel to this city that we love, and so do tourists. A big, ugly fence will definitely destroy this feeling and keep people from this special city. If we are going to put up fences around everything that could be dangerous, we need to put fences around lakes, rivers, cliffs, roads, etc. People do get killed in all those places, after all. Instead, let us teach our children about possible dangers and mature people need to lead by example. An easy solution to keep people aware would be to install red lights that will flash when a train is coming. If we can both hear and see these trains, nobody can say they weren’t warned. We need to be able to get to our beaches. Gunilla Lindgren, White Rock Q What is with all the craziness in barricading off the beach access and railroad tracks? Honestly, they do not barricade and put up fences along the sides of roadways and, guess what, people
manage every day to survive. However, if you choose to walk down the middle of the road or cross the street without looking both ways you may get hit, same as crossing railroad tracks! So what the heck is going on? Krystene Harvey, Surrey Q As a new resident of White Rock I can’t help but find the railway debate akin to a Monty Python skit. I grew up with a very busy – 60-plus trains a day – CNR line at the bottom of our field. The only time I recall anyone being injured by a train was when teenagers were playing on slow moving trains and fell off and broke an arm or leg. Never once did those trains leave the tracks to run into vehicles or pedestrians. As a regular walker of the West Vancouver sea wall in and along Ambleside Beach I noticed there are several streets crossing the railway tracks, pedestrianonly railroad crossings, a park, a beach, a children’s playground, tennis courts, two piers, a boat launch, art galleries, a dog park, waterfront sea-wall walk and free parking. I don’t recall any problem with “railway safety.” Nor do I see a never-ending debate about rail safety in the North Shore News. Could it be that the residents of Canada’s richest postal code are that much smarter that they have enough good sense to watch for trains when walking on or near railroad tracks?

Taking Care ofLOCATION Families One Generation toBANK theFINANCIAL Next SAME TEAM — SAME — PROUD TO BE PART OF NATIONAL
Not a sound solution for rail safety Editor: It appears from BNSF’s reply to my email to them that it is Transport Canada that insists on loud honking every few seconds over the half-mile stretch along the White Rock beach area – even at 2 a.m. – so I will deal with the Canadian authorities with this issue in future. I sincerely appreciate BNSF’s prompt response to my inquiry, because no one else seems to care about our quality of life along this beautiful beachfront community and especially the Marine Drive residents, the entire hillside and uptown areas of our wonderful “City by the Sea.” When will sanity prevail? If I drove through town honking my car horn every two seconds, I’m sure I would be charged with disturbing the peace. Kevin Floyd, White Rock Q For the last nine years my family and I have made our dream home on the hillside of idyllic White Rock. Before we built, we lived in the old cottage for about four months – doing our due diligence – to see if we would be happy in this environment. That was long before the coal and oil trains wreaked havoc with our lives. Now, with the latest edict from Transport Canada requiring the trains to blow their whistles for the full length of the promenade from dawn to dusk, I am further distressed. However, some of the engineers seem not to know the difference between a.m. and p.m. In the early morning hours of last Saturday, a train woke me from a deep sleep. This, in itself, is not at all unusual. However, the fact that it continued to blow its whistle the full length of the promenade on a cold rainy morning made me think the engineer was a sadistic individual. He is certainly not gaining any brownie points for BNSF and he is not following the directive from Transport Canada, and he is certainly creating health problems for me with sleep deprivation. I implore BNSF to have some consideration for the health

Susan Potzold, White Rock Q So Transport Canada now decided to block off our beaches just before summer with virtually no warning? That seems rather strange to me, since our elected city officials have been in negotiations with them since last year – after the death of the jogger – to increase the safety at the waterfront. Surely our officials must have known what Transport Canada’s intentions were before they proceeded. If not, it seems rather sudden and secretive for Transport Canada to do what they did, which has not only now increased our safety risks at the beach, but will also drive away our tourists due to the inconveniences they have caused, and hence effect our waterfront businesses negatively. I have also heard the trains blowing their horns late at night and in the early morning hours, and can tell you that I have been down at the beach during those times, and in most instances there is usually no one in sight as far as the eye can see, yet the conductors are still blowing their horns down the beach and beyond. Perhaps the problem lies more with the conductors and not with dangers ahead. I suspect these conductors may just be somewhat overcautious in their duties, and sounding their horns is the only solution, so perhaps they should be monitored more and the problem would resolve itself.
SPECTACULAR
Why can they not use bells, rather than horns, in the earlymorning hours and late evenings, so as to not disturb others for miles around? Bells were used years ago on trains rather than horns which worked out quite well, and probably used so they would not disturb the right to quiet enjoyment of others. Cheryl Berti, White Rock Q The federal bureaucrats employed to regulate railroads don’t seem to bother themselves about safe operation, what cargoes are carried, how and when they are carried, or with ensuring equipment and roadbed are adequately designed and effectively maintained. In terms of train speed and frequency along our beaches, railroads are permitted to treat a sunny Sunday afternoon in July exactly the same as a rainy night in November, regardless of the relative risks of killing people. Whatever their job descriptions, the bureaucrats don’t appear to be thinking in terms of regulating railroads. Their solution is that when people are harmed or killed, regulate the victims. If people going back and forth to their beach are killed by trains, then fence off the beach. If ear-shattering train horns can warn people of oncoming trains, then blow those horns constantly to the point where people hear nothing else. Never mind about waking up tens of thousands, night after night after night, for no reason whatever. Ronald Chisholm, Surrey

“I doubted myself. It was a hard seven weeks.

But as one thing fell into place, another obstacle came up, making the ride even more personal for Wiens. While she was fundraising and training, she was also undergoing tests for cancer.

That’s what a family is.” That support has propelled Wiens through the obstacles she has faced leading up to the race and will help push her through the pain as she travels with a team of 130 from Kelowna to Delta raising funds for cancer research and support. Even if Wiens is not able to complete the entire 400 km, she knows the distance is just one component to the fundraiser. “As you progress, you learn more and more about what it’s all about. You hear the stories, the passion and how much of a family the group is,” she said. “I would say it’s absolutely lifechanging for me and I think it will stay that way each year I can participate.” To donate to Wiens’ ride, go to www.convio.cancer.ca/site/ TR?fr_id=16043&pg=entry and entre ‘Jolaine Wiens’ under the ‘search for a participant’ section.

A community of Rotarians T he five Rotary clubs of the South Surrey/White Rock area are working together for our community. The clubs – Peach Arch, Peninsula, Semiahmoo, South Surrey and White Rock – held a fundraising breakfast on May 24 at the First United Church in White Rock. Community members were amazed at the pancakes, Valerie Giles eggs, bacon, sausage, juice, coffee and tea that they received for a mere $15. All proceeds go to Sources’ food bank to help feed the hungry. On display was a basket of items the food bank might provide a family of five. People were asked to guess how much it cost to fill the basket. Guesses ranged from $48.40 to more than $400. The actual cost was just over $300. In addition to food, many people need baby diapers, paper products, cleaning products and pet food. The more than 150 attendees at the breakfast were generous, bringing food items and even making cash donations. Close to $2,000 was raised for the food bank. The five clubs wish to thank the community, Save-on Foods and Buy Low Foods for their support and donations. We are working on making this an annual event. Q On Sunday, May 4, many turned out for the Hike for Hospice at Blackie Spit Park in Crescent Beach, all in support of the White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society. The successful fundraiser was able – even in the rain and cold – to raise funds for the needy in our area. The Rotary Club of South Surrey provided refreshments in the form of hotdogs to more than 120 people. Despite the weather conditions – and the fact that our tent almost blew away! – it seemed that we were the go-to-place. Who would have thought that foilwrapped hot dogs would be aspopular to keep one’s hands warm as to eat? Thanks to Cobs Bread and Clancy’s Meat Co., both at South Point Annex, who, respectively, donated the hot dog buns free of charge, and a generous donation of hotdogs at their cost. Q Semiahmoo Rotary is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Over the years there have been many projects

Food vendors hit the streets Sheila Reynolds Black Press
Hotdogs made of kangaroo and crocodile meat or topped with seaweed and miso. Spicy Indian curry or comforting cabbage rolls. Or simply a healthy salad and hearty sandwich. They’ll all be available streetside in Surrey beginning this week after the city chose 10 vendors for its new mobile food truck program. Last month, Surrey council approved the concept and invited potential vendors to apply for a spot based on criteria such as experience, menu diversity and litter-control plans. Chosen vendors are: • Hot Grandma’s Kitchen, serving foods such as perogies, cabbage rolls, soup, paninis, burgers, poutine and apple dumplings; • Fijian Fusion, serving halal street food; • Japadog, a recognized Vancouver vendor, serving Japanese-fusion hotdogs with things like seaweed, plum sauce
and miso for toppings; • Old Country Pierogi, a Surrey family business serving Eastern European fare; • Taj Express, serving Indian food; • The Place Next Door Canteen, serving healthy salads, wraps, sandwiches and snacks; • Hillbilly Dawgz, a Surrey hotdog vendor specializing in sausages made from wild game such as snake, kangaroo, crocodile, duck and bison; • Tasty Torpedo, serving sandwiches; • Taj Tadka, serving traditional Indian meat and vegetarian curries; and • Don’s Smokies, serving hotdogs and smokies. The trucks will be set up in one of five locations – the east and west parking lots of North Surrey Recreation Centre, Newton Wave Pool parking lot, city hall plaza and the parking lot outside Surrey Arts Centre in Bear Creek Park – and food carts will be parked in pairs. – with files from Kevin Diakiw

DID YOU KNOW: Iron deficiency is the leading nutrient deficiency worldwide, and the #1 cause of fatigue in females who menstruate. Fatigue, rapid heartbeat, cold hands and feet, brittle hair and nails, shortness of breath, dizziness, pale skin, leg cramps, insomnia: it can be difficult to pinpoint the cause of these non-specific symptoms, so make sure iron deficiency is not one of the suspects. Did you know it takes roughly 3 months for all of your iron-deficient blood cells to die off and be replaced by new ones? It is usually not enough to take an iron supplement for just a few weeks, but nobody wants to suffer the side effects of traditional iron pills for longer than that.

White Rock woman ordered to pay $250
Court upholds dumping fine A White Rock woman who fought a fine for illegal dumping has been found guilty of the offence. Joy Davies said she was ordered in Surrey Provincial Court last week (June 10) to pay $250 – half of the $500 outlined for a first offence under city rules – after “I was not able to make a case to the court’s satisfaction.” Davies was ticketed after leaving a working vacuum at the Keil Street works yard last October. In March, she described the policy – introduced early last year – as “heavy-handed and mean-
spirited.” The fine jumps to $1,000 for a second offence and $2,000 for a third. Later that same month, council gave final reading to amendments that reduce the fine substantially – to $175, $600 and $1,000 – if paid within 10 days. Davies said five other citizens were in court with her last week, and that each pleaded guilty and were fined $150. She said she was given until June 10, 2015 to pay the fine, and that the judge encouraged her to continue lobbying the city for change. - Tracy Holmes

“Caring for you and your family for over 30 years”
Defence lawyers for two accused gang members on trial for the socalled Surrey Six murders say they aren’t calling any witnesses. Since last fall, Cody Haevischer and Matthew Johnston have been on trial in Vancouver, each charged with one count of conspiracy and six counts of first-degree murder for a mass killing in October 2007.
Innocent bystanders Chris Mohan, a 22-year-old Surrey student, and Ed Schellenberg, a 55-year-old gas fitter, were killed in a Surrey apartment, as were Ryan Bartolomeo, Eddie Narong, and brothers Corey and Michael Lal, who had ties to the drug trade. Closing submissions are to begin July 2 and continue until July 11. 102 - 1656 Martin Drive, White Rock Semiahmoo Professional Building

Much rides on premier’s response to mayors’ big plan
Unknowns cloud path to transit referendum Jeff Nagel Black Press
Large questions remain unanswered on what happens next with Metro Vancouver mayors’ request for more transit funding. The referendum question itself hasn’t been settled, nor has the timing – and that assumes the province agrees to the overall concept and new funding sources. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said the province needs more time to consider the mayors’ proposals. While road pricing is proposed, it would be several years away and is undefined – officials say there are many possible permutations and it could include everything from tolling all bridges and roads at small rates to a charge on motorists’ annual insurance based on how far they drive. How much drivers might pay is unclear. An appendix to the plan gives a preliminary estimate of “a mobility pricing rate of approximately two cents per kilometre applied to all vehicular traffic in the region” to generate $250 million a year by the

The rest would come from either a new regional carbon tax or reallocation of existing carbon tax revenue. Two cents per kilometre would add up to a $1.40 round-trip charge to drive 35 kilometres each way from South Surrey to Coquitlam. The idea also assumes the province will agree to reform its tolling policy, which has so far led to
Signals coming Several Surrey intersections – including a number in South Surrey – are slated to receive traffic or pedestrian signals. City officials announced last week that 17 sites have been earmarked for the improvements, which are hoped to boost pedestrian safety – particularly, that of children – while encouraging physical activity. Locally, targeted sites include: • 24 Avenue & 150 Street • 152 Street & 17A Avenue • 68 Avenue & 126 Street • 13300-block of 64 Aveuue • 64 Avenue & 125 Street, and • 60 Avenue & 128 Street.

few times,” said Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart, but added he’s hopeful now. Most mayors never wanted a referendum in the first place. That, too, was imposed by Clark, as a surprise election platform plank for the B.C. Liberals in 2013 that appeared to evolve on the fly. In the midst of the campaign, former transportation minister Mary Polak was pledging there would be no “none of the above” options in a referendum – voters would have to choose some mechanism to refinance TransLink – only to be overruled by the premier the next day. Some mayors say they still won’t participate in the referendum no matter what happens. “I have no intention of supporting the referendum – I think it’s a bad way to make public policy,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said, but added he will work with the majority of mayors to try to deliver their approved vision. George Heyman, the NDP’s critic for TransLink, also opposes the concept of a referendum but said “it’s now time for Todd Stone to find something he can say yes to.”

tolling of only some bridges, inefficiently distorting traffic patterns. The mayors’ letter to Stone says the new scheme should ensure “a seamless, balanced and fair system throughout Metro Vancouver.” Existing bridge tolls might be replaced by the new system of paying to travel anywhere, regardless of whether a body of water is crossed. And TransLink’s gas tax would also be reduced from 17 cents to 11 cents per litre, the plan suggests.
Road pricing rates could also vary by time of day, to encourage more drivers to shift trips to offpeak times, putting less pressure on major routes at rush hour and improving overall system efficiency. (TransLink calls it “mobility pricing” because it intends to extend similar time-of-day pricing principles to transit fares as well.) Stone had no answer Thursday on whether the referendum – if approved by voters – will give mayors approval to implement road pricing when it’s finally fleshed out, or if residents would get another vote years later on the details. The biggest question mark is what Premier Christy Clark will say about the entire proposal – she caught the mayors and various transportation ministers off-guard in the past by suddenly blocking earlier proposals to refinance TransLink. Twice Clark made the mayors and TransLink wait for audits to ensure the transportation authority was as efficient as possible before new funding tools might be contemplated. “I’ve been disappointed the last

White Rock company uses 3D and 4K cameras to shoot Bahama Blue
Parallax moves underwater for series Alex Browne

Arts Reporter
t may be called Bahama Blue, but a new nature series currently shooting on location has its home office right here beside Semiahmoo Bay. The show is the latest venture for awardwinning Canadian indie documentary producers Ian Herring and Maija Leivo of White Rock-based Parallax Film Productions – their current bid to counter the “dumbing down” effect of other so-called reality TV. Fresh from the success of the medieval history-oriented Battle Castle – a television and convergent media project that was nominated for the 2013 Canadian Screen Awards and picked up four Leo Awards, including best documentary series – the Parallax producers are focusing their cameras underwater for their new show. The six-part series investigates the incredibly rich and varied flora and fauna beneath the waves of the Bahamas – one of the most intense, and fierce, natural habitats in the world. The beauty and fascination of marine mammals such as dolphins and sharks play a key role, but so, too, does an underwater landscape that encompasses everything from mangroves, deep blue water and sand flats to coral, caves and blue holes. Bahama Blue is not just another nature documentary, the production team ❝When you're emphasizes.

It’s great to be able to dial in with as much accuracy as possible. “We’re looking at the footage every night and it’s very satisfying for the guys, because they can see right away what’s working.

six-person crew are aware of the challenges of working with three of the big “Ws” – wildlife, water and weather. “It’s a little bit like a military operation,” she said, adding that Herring has Blackberry messaging set up constantly. “As long as we have Wi-Fi we’re OK.

Underwater filming debut Canadian channel. “She took one look at what we had and said ‘that – we want that!’” Leivo laughed. Being able to deliver startling underwater footage in 3D and in 4K – four times the detail of standard HD – was also a selling point for the high definition channel, she said. Focusing exclusively on the Bahamas for the current series was also a practical decision, she explained, meaning that the production could access a single base of local wildlife experts as well as the same governmental authorities, without having to reinvent the wheel for each episode. If the concept is successful, there’s a distinct possibility it could spawn other series, Leivo said. “There could be a Belize Blue, a Barrier Blue, a Hawaii Blue,” she said. But the Bahamas offers plenty of scope for now, she added. “There are some seven or eight hundred islands in the Bahamas, each with its own ecosystem,” Leivo said. Viewers may not be aware of the ecological progress in the area, she added. “The Bahamas is in the forefront of shark saving and preservation – there’s been a full ban on the shark catch since 2011, and they’ve set up protected areas. “Sharks are worth more to them alive than dead – rather than getting $50 for a shark fin, they’ve found sharks can capture tourist business.”

› from page 29 Leivo says that the series is definitely a labour of love for Herring, a scuba-diving enthusiast. But she also took a scuba diving course last fall with Ocean Pro Divers, she said, in part to be able to understand the challenges of shooting the material for the series, which has been in development for two and a half years. “When you’re working on something like this, it has to be something you’re sure about and passionate about – that’s what’s going to sustain you through the dark nights of the soul,” she said. Turning point for the Bahama Blue project was securing a major partner – Canada’s Oasis, a Blue Ant Media Channel – which will debut the series in early 2015. Through deals arranged by Londonbased factual content distributor TVF, Parallax has since been able to license the series to Discovery Network International territories including Latin America, Asia, Italy and CEMEA (Central Europe, the Middle East and Africa) – as a documentary without reliance on “talking heads” it lends itself to dubbing and repackaging for different markets. Leivo said that she and Herring shot pilot footage with the aim of pitching the project to Oasis executive vice-president Vanessa Case, with whom they had worked previously when she was at National Geographic’s

Peninsula group set to showcase talents at Rugby League event in Glasgow
Young stars take on new challenge Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
W
ith an eye towards one day competing at the Commonwealth Games, a handful of young Peninsula rugby players are heading to Scotland, to compete in a nine-a-side rugby league tournament. Later this month, eight South Surrey players will suit up for Canada’s U19 nine-a-side rugby league team, which will compete June 27-28 at 2014 Rugby League Commonwealth Championships. The eight-country tournament – which in addition to traditional rugby powerhouses like England, Wales, South Africa, Australia and Scotland also includes Jamaica and Papua New Guinea – will act as a preamble of sorts to the Commonwealth Games, which are to be held in late July. Of the 15 players on the Canadian roster, 13 are from B.C. and eight have Peninsula ties. Earl Marriott Secondary’s Cali Martinez and Nick Wright, Semiahmoo’s Matt Gallagher, Elgin Park’s Christian Haldane and Southridge’s Drew Coles, Tim Stephens and Nick Collett are all on the squad, as is Gino Paolella, a Langley resident who plays club rugby for the Bayside Sharks.

Though relatively new to rugby-league action, Matt Gallagher (left) and Nick Collett (right) have plenty of rugby union experience, which was key for coach Andy Blackburn. Head coach and chief organizer of the team is South Surrey’s Andy Blackburn, while Mike Jamieson – a teacher and rugby coach at Elgin Park – and Don Wright will serve as the assistant coach and manager, respectively. The tournament aims to help boost the sport’s profile in advance of the 2018
Commonwealth Games, which are set to be hosted by Gold Coast, Australia; Australian organizers want rugby league added to the roster of official sports four years from now. “We’re the early part of the Commonwealth Games, basically. The whole purpose of this trip, in the bigger picture, is to get rugby league played four
years from now,” said Blackburn. “The same way that rugby sevens got accepted into the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, we’re trying to follow suit with rugby-league nines.” Rugby league differs from rugby-union play in that there are no scrums or line outs, and is similar to football in that each team has six attempts to move down the field and score. After the sixth attempt, the team with possession is forced to kick the ball away. And while this incarnation of the sport has only been played in Canada for about five years – and just three in B.C. – Blackburn thinks it’s something that will catch on among the province’s top athletes. “Canadians are made for rugby league. It’s an easier-to-understand version of rugby, with elements of CFL and NFL football in it,” he said. “Rugby union… can be daunting if you’ve never played before. Rugby league is more speed- and toughness-oriented. I think it would appeal to a lot of this country’s top-tier athletes who are maybe playing hockey or football. “It really is an enjoyable sport to play because they get to run the ball as much as they want, they can make as many tackles as they want, whereas in rugby union, those i see page 36

Valley West’s Koch, Barberis to vie for national-team spot
Hawks earn U17 invites A pair of Valley West Hawks will vie for a spot on Canada’s national U17 hockey team next month, when Hockey Canada hosts a development camp in Calgary. South Surrey major-midget players Davis Koch, a forward, and Matt Barberis, a defenceman, were among more than 100 players from across the country invited to the weeklong camp, which Davis Koch begins July 29. The Hawks’ duo are two of just eight players invited from B.C. From the development camp, a roster will eventually take shape and Matt Barberis the Canadian squad will play at the 2014 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, which is set for Oct. 31-Nov. 8 in a yet-tobe-determined city. Canada will take three teams to the tournament. In the 2013/14 season, Koch

DON’T GET SOAKED! Commonwealth Games is end goal i from page 33 opportunities may not exist depending on what position you play.� Though the players he’s taking with him to Scotland are all accomplished on high school, provincial, even national, rugby pitches, Blackburn does expect some growing pains at the tournament, especially considering the competition will be fierce. It’s part of the reason that ‘coachability’ was high on Blackburn’s list when he was selecting players for the team. “The guys we picked were selected based on two things. One, they’re pedigree in rugby union – all these guys have represented their province at some stage, so they have rugby skills,� he said. “Being coachable is important, too, because we obviously have a pretty short time to teach them a new game, and we’re going up against England in our first game – these guys are getting thrown into the proverbial deep end.� Canada will also be among the youngest teams taking part. Even though it’s a U19 event,
Don Wright photo
Nick Wright captained Earl Marriott to sixth-place at high school provincials last month. Blackburn specifically chose players who were under-18, so they’d all be eligible to play next year, if a similar tournament is held. Also, if rugby league is added to the Commonwealth Games
for 2018, it will be a U23 tournament – which means the current players would all be eligible. Nick Wright can already see improvement, just from a few weeks of steady practice. “It was a bit tough to get used to at first, but it’s becoming more natural now, and we’re getting better every day. We’re a work-in-progress,� he said. “But playing over there, I think our (growth) is going to be exponential. It’s really going to help us.� Blackburn echoed Wright’s statement, and was confident that taking the long view of things – planning for future years – will pay off down the road. “The success story with this is literally just the ability to put a team together, and get on a plane and go to a Commonwealth tournament like this, with guys who’ve never played the sport before. But the second level of success will be determined by how much we improve,� he said. “It’s going to be a hell of an experience, but a big, daunting task.�

“There haven’t been too many of those lately,” he joked, pressing harder on the metal, perhaps to make a point. As Infiniti Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products, rather than merely offering his name as a celebrity endorsement. He talked enthusiastically about the new compact, performance-oriented Q30, which should see the light late next year in Europe and a little later in Canada. The 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 Q50S we were riding in also benefitted from a little of his input. He’s clearly looking forward to Infiniti giving the go-ahead to the Q50 Eau Rouge concept, which features the Nissan GT-R’s growling 560-horsepower twin-turbo V6. Another corner loomed and I leaned into the door, as he barely slowed from the rapid pace we had zipped along the straight. “Your cornering has improved since last year,” I offered cheekily.

“Thank you, I think I’ve got the apexes about right,” he grinned. Hours earlier, it’s doubtful he had even heard of the tricky track, nevermind driven it. Harkening back to his references to happy endings, I reminded him that after driving with me last year he had enjoyed nothing but success. “That’s right . . . it’s all down to you,” he said with what I believed was a thoroughly genuine smile of appreciation. The end was nigh. Time flies when you are having fun: our hot lap and friendly chat took less than four minutes.

The simplicity of the 2014 Mazda MX-5 makes it one of columnist Zack Spencer’s favourite cars.
Zoom-Zoom goes boom ‘‘
There is so much goodness dialed into this little car that it rewards the driver and passenger hour after hour.
’’
Zack Spencer
With a flash of lightning beside our car, my co-pilot Alexandra Straub let out a screech as loud as the accompanying crack from the massive flash. Pouring rain in our tiny car made the very first day of the 2014 Mazda rally one to remember. The Mazda MX-5 (Miata) is a car most would associate with sunny, summer top-down driving, but this little machine was determined to show what it was made of. The howling wind, torrential rain and debris-covered roads were all taken in stride as we carved our way through the Tennessee mountains on our way to the
Brasstown Valley Resort in neighbouring Georgia. Over the next three days, we experienced the MX-5 on some of the most dramatic and scenic roads this continent has to offer, and there was money on the line, big money. Last year was the inaugural Mazda Rally, which Alexandra and I won, taking home $10,000 in charity money for Kidsport. As last year’s champions, we had extra pressure this year to repeat. We later found out this would be much tougher than we had imagined. continued on page 40

driveway If you ever take a drive through the southeast United States, do yourself a favour and divert away from the interstate highway system and experience driving nirvana, traversing the Blue Ridge, Unico and Smokey Mountain ranges. The lush national and state parks, along with small towns and twisting river valleys, is something to experience. This is a destination for drivers too, especially the “Tail of the Dragon,” a section of Highway 129 just inside the North Carolina border that has 318 turns over an 18-kilometre stretch. This is a favourite of motorcycle riders but it is open to anyone wanting to experience back-to-back corners ranging from very tight to wide, sweeping turns. Our run up this road was wide open thanks to steady rain, with a few dozen motorcyclists out for a tour and several photographers taking pictures, then selling them to tourists – the same way you can buy a picture of your rollercoaster ride at the PNE! Paved roads are the place the MX-5 shines, wet or dry. It never felt like the car was out of control, even on the fastest and most aggressive corners. There is so much goodness dialed into this little car that it rewards the driver and passenger hour after hour. With a front engine, rear drive setup and perfect weight distribution, the MX-5 has been one of my all-time favourite cars because of its simplicity. The small, light, thrifty dimensions matched to a raspy 2.0L 4-cylinder and 6-speed manual makes for a fantastic power-to-weight distribution, meaning the 160hp engine might not sound like much on paper but, in practise, it makes the most of every situation. One thing Mazda’s event planners had us do was drive and collect information for each day’s challenges. All of these were kept secret until the beginning of each drive, including the roads we might travel. A surprise was that some sections were unpaved. Taking Mazda’s brand new MX-5 through forest back-roads at speed meant dealing with rocks flying, branches felled from the previous night’s storm kicking up, sliding sideways through corners and pounding over rough and
rutted gravel. At the end, the MX-5 showed no signs of wear. It just powered on to the next challenge, the Atlanta Motorsports Park, for an autocross challenge. This was another surprise. To say we went from one extreme to the other is an understatement.
Over the three-day event, Straub and I didn’t have one disagreement. Even though we both made some navigational errors, we let it roll. These were long days and we hoped a few small glitches wouldn’t impact our score too much. By the end of the competition we also missed one major clue that was a part of
An hour earlier I was sliding across gravel roads, followed by sliding around a racetrack trying to avoid pylons to dial in my best lap time. As it turns out, I did get the second-best time of the event but one of those pylons got in the way, knocking down my time by two seconds, all part of the challenge’s rules.
our guidebook. Unfortunately, this cost us a whopping 50 points in the competition. At the end, we had slipped from second place after the first day to fifth place. Sadly, next year we won’t be able to proudly display the number one on the side of our Black Press car. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Raising cash for charity and turning heads The Supercar: It’s something anyone of any age can appreciate. The design. The engineering. The way the engine and exhaust purr – or roar – when you push on the throttle. They are the culmination of the workmanship of talented individuals who dedicate their lives to crafting components that are then distributed globally.

Alexandra Straub
Now put more than 100 of these machines together (111, to be exact) and the
appreciation factor goes up 110-fold. To some, supercars are a gaudy form of transportation. An arrogant display of wealth. To others, works of art. But to the group who participated in the second annual Diamond Rally, it’s more than just a showcase of imported engineering or customization. It’s about a great cause. It’s for charity. I’m not going out on a limb when I say that car enthusiasts love to see amazing cars, regardless of context. What’s more, it’s even cooler when a group of them travel together up one of the most incredible drives in the world: the Seato-Sky Highway. What started off last year with 42 cars quickly grew to three digits. Each entering car chose a charity to raise funds for. As the day was ramping up, the Brian Jessel BMW dealership in Vancouver was overrun with vehicles ranging from a 1957 Ford Thunderbird (it was quite the car back in the day, and still is) to the Lamborghini Aventador. Along with Nissan GT-Rs,
individually raise awareness and money for the charity of their choice.” He also comments that Vancouver is supercar crazy, and that there are more luxury and supercars per capita then any other city in North America. “There is nothing like 111 spectacular cars rallying up the 99 Highway to bring awareness to many worthy charities.” Visit www.bmw.ca for more information on the 2015 M4 Coupe.
on the highway. What made it even more special? It’s a 6-speed manual. Though it may not have garnered nearly as much attention as some of my fellow rallyers, it still brought smiles to people’s faces. That’s what I think the event is all about. So did the drive route. Craig Stowe, founder of the Diamond Rally and Canada’s own Luxury & Supercar Weekend, says, “There is a new breed of supercar owners who are rallying together to
Maseratis, Porsches, Ferraris and more. Even the brand new BMW i8, which had yet to be driven on Canadian soil, broke ground and was the lead car in the day’s event. My ride? The humble, all new, BMW M4. I say humble because I had nowhere near as much horsepower (this only generates 425) as some, or most, of my fellow drivers. But what I did have was the “wow” factor. Clad in an extremely eye-catching Austin Yellow Metallic coat, this supercar was quite the sight to see

The very mean, lean Mustang machine
‘‘
An iconic American car, the Ford Mustang offers classic styling, yet can also be a reliable and reasonably priced used sports car and a great driving experience.
Bob McHugh
’’
So, you could also call it the “meaner and leaner” revamp. Appearance changes on the 2011 included new headlights and revised lower fascias, fenders and grille, plus a power-dome hood that allows additional air cooling to the Mustang’s new engines. At the back, new three-light LED lamps sequentially signal a turn, reminiscent of the muscle car years. The Mustang GT convertible models came with improved body rigidity with 12 per cent more lateral stiffness versus the previous year. In addition to newly strengthened structural members, under its hood you’ll also find a (race-style) tower-to-tower strut brace. Even the new base 3.7-litre V6 engine packs a punch as it can deliver 305 horsepower and can rev to 7000 rpm. Its rated city/highway fuel economy is an impressive 10.7/6.4 L/100km. And its power-to-weight ratio is almost double the previous base engine offering. Moving up a trim, the Mustang GT has a 5.0-litre V8 under its hood. This engine, which is fourvalve and all-aluminum, can pump-out 412 horsepower. And sound great doing it. City/highway fuel consumption is rated at 11.8/7.9 L/100km and a larger (cast aluminum) oil pan also extends oil change intervals. The GT also comes with electric power-assist steering (EPAS), an
upgraded braking system with vented discs all around and an enhanced suspension. GT buyers could also add a California Special appearance package and a Brembo brake-and-wheel package. A six-speed manual transmission was standard and automatic option was also a 6-speed. This automatic has a grade-assist or “hill mode” feature that prevents sixthgear selection on a steep up hill drive, plus engine braking going down a hill. There is another limited production edition of Mustang, the priciest and speediest pony of them all, the audacious Shelby GT500. Power comes from a supercharged 5.8-litre that can produce 650 horsepower. It can also deliver over 600 ft-lb of tire-smoking torque. On the inside, the Mustang offers two-plus-two seating, which translates to limited leg and head room for the rear seat occupants. While Mustang’s trunk is not huge, it’s a little bigger and easier to access than the trunk in arch-rival Chevrolet Camaro. Both the coupe and the convertible editions of the Mustang claim very good crash-test safety ratings. Consumers Reports gives it “recommended buy” status. Reliability has been average to better-than-average, with the V6 engine versions being slightly more dependable. The 2012 model year brought the re-introduction of a Boss 302 coupe edition, with a high-output 5.0-litre V8, plus a new premium trim level of the V6 edition. Selectable electric powerassisted steering, with comfort, sport and normal settings, have also become standard on all Mustang models. The 2013 Mustang has lighting that is even more distinctive and received some minor exterior tweaking. A new SelectShift Automatic transmission with a manual-shift feature was a significant mechanical upgrade and the 6-speed manual gearbox also gained a Hill Start Assist feature. An iconic American car, the Ford Mustang offers classic styling yet can also be a reliable and reasonably priced used sports car and a great driving experience.
Recent safety recalls for the Ford Mustang GT
A classic American car, the Ford Mustang is back with a “meaner and leaner revamp” and still reliable and reasonably priced, according to columnist Bob McHugh. The Mustang GT (left) has a grade-assist feature that prevents sixth gear selection on steep hills, plus engine braking on the way down.
The Mustang GT was recalled in 2012/2013 for a problem with its outside lights. The rear backup lights may not illuminate when the transmission shift lever is placed in reverse (R) due to an incorrectly manufactured transmission range sensor. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the transmission range sensor. bob.mchugh@ drivewaybc.ca PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until June 30, 2014.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
Photos submitted by FortisBC, above and top right, and Melissa Tolsma, right
Barbecuing with natural gas is extremely convenient, as it uses the home’s natural gas supply and homeowners are able to grill with several different temperatures. Reno Me! with FortisBC contest winner Melissa Tolsma is looking forward to the installation of her new natural gas fire pit as part of her natural gas renovation.
Reno Me! with FortisBC winner Melissa Tolsma starts her outdoor natural gas renovation By Kerry Vital
Nanaimo’s Melissa Tolsma describes herself as a “reluctant renovator.” If something isn’t broken, there’s no need to fix it, and duct tape can fix anything that is broken. However, when she saw the opportunity to enter last year’s Reno Me! with FortisBC contest and win $10,000 towards a renovation with natural gas, she decided that her outdoor space could use a bit of sprucing up. After winning the contest, her renovation adventure began. Tolsma notes that she’s always cold, so having the warmth of natural gas was tops on her priority list. Currently, one of the most popular options
that use natural gas is a fire pit, which will be an integral part of Tolsma’s renovation and something she is particularly looking forward to. “My eight-year-old daughter is very excited about having a year-round s’mores facility right in the backyard!” Tolsma says. According to FortisBC, outdoor natural gas fireplaces and fire pits allow you to spend more time outdoors, even in the cooler months. They’re also more convenient for homeowners, who won’t have to spend time chopping wood or dealing with uncontrolled smoke and fumes or spitting embers. Like all natural gas appliances, they provide instant heat and are available in a variety of styles.
Natural gas. Good for outdoor living. Entertain all year long with a natural gas barbecue. Add a patio heater or fire pit for cosy warmth and ambience. Transform your outdoor living space with natural gas. FortisBC uses the FortisBC name and logo under license from Fortis Inc. (14-106.5 04/2014)
Tolsma’s cast concrete fire pit, from Solus Decor, is expected to arrive soon, and contractor Brad Fraser of Jonker Custom Building has been hard at work. “Brad is working on two cedar benches to be installed next to the fire pit,” Tolsma says. “I’ve had fun spending way too much time on Houzz, gathering ideas and images that have really helped to shape the project.” The fire pit is just the beginning of Tolsma’s ongoing outdoor space renovation. “I’m going to have my licensed gas contractor extend the gas line to accommodate a gas barbecue and heater in the future,” says Tolsma. FortisBC notes that a natural gas barbecue
can be extremely convenient for homeowners looking for fuel on demand, as you’ll never have to deal with running out of propane or charcoal. It also allows you to cook with different temperatures at the same time and control the heat more easily. Natural gas barbecues use flexible hoses that connect to the home’s natural gas supply and have a built-in shutoff. This quickconnect feature makes it simpler to attach as well. Another benefit is that cooking outdoors will keep your home cooler during the warm summer months. CONTINUED INSIDE

Natural gas possibilities inspire renovators CONTINUED FROM HOME FRONT
In addition to using natural gas for outdoor living, Tolsma is including a new deck in her outdoor space renovation. “The deck is built with locally harvested cedar, and has a lovely, earthy West Coast feel to it,” she says. “Brad even built a custom raised garden box with some of the leftover lumber. I’ve been busy with some landscaping and gardening work, so it’s all starting to come together.” Another option for using natural gas outdoors is a hot tub, with its consistent, fast heat and automatic safety shut-off controls for added peace of mind. Plus, avid swimmers will be glad that natural gas can also heat swimming pools. The possibilities for natural gas use outside continues to inspire renovators. Depending on where you live, natural gas patio heaters keep you warm outdoors, even in the fall and winter. They use radiant heat to warm objects around them, according to FortisBC, and are connected to your home’s natural gas supply. You can also find natural gas patio lamps that can be used to light walkways, patios and other outdoor entertaining spaces. There are models available that provide bright steady light or ambient natural glow, so you’re easily able to create the mood you want for entertaining. Natural gas is a convenient choice for more than just spending time outside. The inside of Tolsma’s home is heated with natural gas as well. “With a small house like mine, I love that my gas furnace can heat the house to a comfortable temperature within a few minutes,” says Tolsma. “I don’t have a fireplace inside, so I’m looking forward to having a natural gas fire feature on my new deck.” Whether you’re upgrading your heating system or extending natural gas to the backyard, you’ll need the services of a licensed natural gas contractor. Find someone qualified in your neighbourhood at fortisbc.com/findacontractor. The cost to operate natural gas appliances is very affordable. Natural gas rates continue to cost less than it would cost to run with electricity. Don’t believe it? FortisBC has an online energy calculator that will help you compare the cost of fuel sources and their energy efficiency, demonstrating that natural gas is an affordable choice for homeowners. Find it at fortisbc.com/energycalculator. Tolsma is blogging throughout her renovation. Find her blog on your local Black Press newspaper’s website, or at www.bclocalnews. com/business/realestate. “I’m looking forward to having a deck launch party next month, and I will be inviting all my awesome family, friends, co-workers and neighbors who helped me win,” Tolsma says. “There will be burgers and s’mores galore!” You too could enjoy natural gas in your backyard. Enter FortisBC’s Endless Summer Nights Contest for your chance to win a $10,000 natural gas dream patio. But hurry, the contest closes June 30, 2014.
