Strike savings already allocated to parents of younger students

Province eyes extending school year Jeff Nagel Black Press

Education Minister Peter Fassbender says the province may take extraordinary steps to ensure senior secondary students’ school year is not cut short by the teachers’ strike. That could mean adding days to the school calendar later in the year, he said, to ensure Grade 12 students in particular complete

their courses and get all the marks they need. “Do you put it on the end of the year? Do you take it out of spring break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said. “It’s going to depend on how long this drags out. Whatever length of time it takes to get this settled, we will do everything we can to make sure the school year is kept

whole for those students.” It’s unclear how the government would finance adding extra days of classes later, when all of the $12 million per day in strike savings may be consumed by the province’s offer of $40-a-day payments to parents. “If they were accumulating the savings, that would be one thing – they would have a fund,” Vancouver Board of Education chair

Patti Bacchus said. “But they’re giving away the budget right now to parents that would be otherwise available to pay for that.” As of Monday morning, 74 per cent of parents of eligible public school children under age 13 had signed up for the $40 payments, which are expected to be made as a lump sum after the strike ends. i see page 2

300 placards stapled along length of White Rock pier due to ‘miscommunication’

City ensures ads don’t eclipse moon fest Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Sponsors’ ads lined the pier Friday.

A “miscommunication” is being blamed for nearly 300 advertising placards cropping up along the length of the White Rock pier Friday. Director of leisure services Eric Stepura said he was alerted to the issue Friday morning, when the city received a complaint. While he confirmed the city had authorized some advertising on the pier by sponsors of the weekend’s Moon Festival, the extent allowed was misunderstood. “What was agreed to was, we’d allow advertis-

ing signage at the entranceway,” Stepura told Peace Arch News, referring to the area at the pier head, from the railway tracks to the first decorative arch. “I think it’s just miscommunication.” The majority of the placards were removed or relocated to the permitted area in time for the festival’s opening ceremonies, which got underway at 6 p.m. and included remarks from dignitaries, performances and the singing of Auld Lang Syne. Thousands turned out over three days to take in the second annual event, for which red lanterns hung from the pier arches added a festive glow to the evenings.

Stepura described the advertising hitch as frustrating, but noted it’s not unusual for highlevel event sponsors to be afforded such temporary permissions. The city received more than $50,000 in corporate sponsorships, he said. One White Rock resident said she was appalled to see the advertising when she and two friends went for their morning walk Friday. Karen Clark described the decorative lanterns as “beautiful,” but said the city should not have agreed to any advertising along the structure – particularly for businesses outside of White Rock. i see page 2

Fassbender rejects arbitration i from page 1 Other costs that the province continues to incur while schools are closed include salaries for school administration and wages for support staff that are eligible to be compensated for pay lost for not crossing picket lines. Support staff costs could hit $5 million a day, once all union locals ratify contracts. Education ministry officials said school districts will be consulted on any potential changes to the school year, but Bacchus said she’s heard nothing so far and predicted it would be disruptive to families that have made other commitments far in advance. “It’s not going to be easy,” she said, noting changes would also require exemptions from School Act requirements. Talk of calendar adjustments is another sign the strike might be long-term. On the weekend, Fassbender rejected a call from the B.C. Teachers Federation for binding arbitration to end the strike. Last week, BCTF president Jim Iker urged the province to agree to arbitration and leave class size and composition to be settled by the courts, promising the union would then hold a membership vote on suspending the strike. But Fassbender said the union never gave the province a detailed written proposal and the

union’s insistence on several preconditions would have tilted arbitration in its favour. “It became very clear that it was another empty effort to give parents and teachers a false hope that there is a simple way to resolve the dispute,” Fassbender said. He remained firm that the province wants a negotiated settlement in line with the pay raises accepted by other government unions. Meanwhile, parents are scrambling for limited space for childcare, day camps, tutors and even private-school placements. (The City of White Rock says it will continue to offer day camps for children throughout September. For details, visit www.whiterockcity.ca or call 604-541-2199.) Also stepping up to meet the demand have been, increasingly, public school teachers no longer drawing a regular paycheque who are advertising “tutor” services online. “I work for the Surrey School District and I am willing to tutor your child in the comfort of your own home,” reads one Craigslist post from an elementary school teacher. Distance learning through independent online schools is another option. The B.C. Online School run out of Kelowna by Heritage Christian Schools has been swamped with three times the normal number applications.

‘Lanterns beautiful, signs not’ i from page 1 The majority of placards stapled along the railing and affixed to the lamp posts advertised LLW Holdings Ltd.’s Newport at West Beach development, to be built at the corner of Marine Drive and Oxford Street; there were also signs advertising two Richmondbased businesses. “I just don’t think it’s fair,” Clark said, noting it only adds to the ongoing struggles of Marine Drive merchants to stay afloat.

“Everybody thought the lanterns were beautiful, but not the advertising, and especially not for Richmond.” Friday evening, unused placards could be seen stacked under or beside vendor tables that were set up in the parking lot adjacent to the White Rock Museum. Festival events and activities – organized by the city, the Vancouver-White Rock Chinese Arts Center and the Canadian Alliance Chinese Association – continued through Sunday.

‘Desperate situation’ results in MP calling for financial aid

Visit with displaced refugees hits home Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Conservative MP Russ Hiebert said scenes of human suffering he observed firsthand during a Labour Day weekend visit to refugee camps in embattled Northern Iraq will stay with him. And he said he is gratified the Canadian government approved a further $7 million in emergency aid to the region so soon on the heels of the tour he took with fellow Conservative MPs Leon Benoit and Brad Butt. “I’m quite pleased at how quickly this got accomplished,” he told Peace Arch News Monday, noting that Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird was touring the same refugee camps just days after he and his colleagues returned urging international help to avoid “a humanitarian disaster.” Hiebert said more than 1.3 million people are now “internally displaced” in Iraq, with floods of refugees including Christians, nonSunni Muslims and Yazidis fleeing western Iraq and Syria for relative safety in Kurdish Iraq. “It’s a desperate situation. The internally displaced people have had to leave everything they had,” he said, adding that the people used to have reasonably comfortable lives, with jobs and homes and facilities that most of us take for granted. “They’re living in tents, in the best case

scenario – in the worst case scenario, they’re divided by tarps in abandoned buildings, sharing water and toilet facilities.” Hiebert said the pressure is on to find more permanent housing for the refugees, particularly as winter approaches. One community he visited – an area with a population of 1.2 million – has grown by some 650,000 people in three weeks, 250,000 of them within a 48-hour period, he said. “They have a third of the doctors and nurses needed, and the prescription-drug budget has almost tripled from $6 million to $17 million – and they don’t have the money for it.” Hiebert said this doesn’t begin to calculate the impact of family members lost and others victimized in what he characterized as “the so-called Islamic State… brutalizing and killing those who do not agree with their ideology and will not submit to forced conversion.” Urging humanitarian aid is a natural response to such suffering, Hiebert said. “You cannot see this situation without thinking ‘what if this was my country – what if this was my family?’” Hiebert said. Closer to home, the Surrey-White RockCloverdale MP said he looks forward to serving the community for the balance of his term (he announced last February he will not be running for re-election in 2015). After the return of Parliament, he said, he is interested in seeing the passage of his controversial private-members’ bill – requiring full public disclosure of union finances – through the Senate. He added he also plans to follow up on a long-term personal initiative calling for income splitting to achieve lower levels of taxation for families – something he was glad to see become part of the Conservative campaign platform in the last election.

Long process to relocate trains begins with first step, Baldwin says

White Rock mayor rekindles rail-track push Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin says it’s time to get the goal of relocating the waterfront railway back on track. And a motion to be considered Monday evening (after Peace Arch News’ press deadline), asking that staff be directed to initiate the process, is simply the first step in what will be a years-long exercise, he said. “This has been sort of like our long-term goal,” Baldwin told PAN Friday, of wanting to reroute dangerous goods from the seaside line. Initial discussion of the issue last summer was triggered by the devastating derailment in Lac Mégantic, Que. It was intensified by attention to the deteriorating condition of the Little Campbell rail bridge on Semiahmoo First Nation land. While the focus on the goal was sidelined by a series of safetyrelated orders from Transport Canada to the city and railway owner BNSF – following the death of a jogger on East Beach tracks a week after the Quebec tragedy – Baldwin said the recent decision to green-light a new coal-transfer facility in Surrey spurred him to push the issue to the forefront. “We’ve come to a conclusion (on the Transport Canada orders), now we can turn our attention to how to deal with the dangerous goods,

which is to not have them at all,” he said. “What changed for me was the decision by Port Metro Vancouver to allow the Fraser Surrey Docks’ proposal to go through. That just kind of crystalized it – this is not going to go away.” (Steps to abide by the Transport Canada orders are ongoing but so far include the installation of bollards at the West Beach boat launch and fencing of the west side of Bayview Park; chainlink meshing

is to go up along the length of the promenade handrailing this fall; atgrade pedestrian crossings are to be leveled; and, ultimately, flashing lights and gates are to be installed.) The $15-million Fraser Surrey Docks facility has been the source of much controversy since it was first proposed in September 2012. Once built, it will take at least four million tonnes per year of U.S. coal by train through White Rock and Surrey and send it by barge down

the Fraser River to Texada Island for reloading to ocean-going ships. It is expected to significantly increase train traffic through the Semiahmoo Peninsula – potentially by 320 trains in the first year alone – but Baldwin said Friday that when the new FSD facility is operational, “we might be looking at an extra eight trains a day.” At a rail-safety forum hosted by the city in July, attendees heard that everything from crude oil to

Waterfront braces for more mesh fence While the focus of a recent request for cost estimates on chainlink meshing is for handrails in East Beach, White Rock officials confirmed the addition is eyed for the entire stretch of waterfront fencing. Peace Arch News reported last month that a request for quotes had been issued by the city for work along the south edge of Bayview Park and from the pier east. Mayor Wayne Baldwin said the balance of the barrier – for railing between the boat launch and the pier – is dependent upon re-establishing two pedestrian crossings at West Beach. The at-grade crossings are eyed for the waterfront areas across from Oxford and Anderson streets. Baldwin said he hopes to see the work completed by the end of December. Once in place, “Transport Canada said they will amend their whistling order again,” Baldwin said. In June, the federal body ordered that engineers blast the horns of trains rolling along the waterfront “from dawn until dusk,” further exacerbating what has

long been a sensitive issue for residents – excessive overnight whistling. In July, the order was modified to cover the hours from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Baldwin said design of the at-grade crossings will force pedestrians to look both ways before proceeding across the tracks. “We’ll put in some kind of a gate… so they’ll look to the left, then they’ll be forced to look to the right.” Installation of the West Beach meshing will follow. Last month, the city’s director of engineering described the mesh as “an interim measure until the crossings can be developed and a more attractive barrier can be installed.” Baldwin said residents and visitors should also expect increased enforcement of trespassing rules. Noting Transport Canada has said “we have the worst trespassing record in the northwest,” Baldwin said “if that’s the case, we have to change people’s attitude.” – Tracy Holmes

chlorine is already being transported along the waterfront. Plans to replace the Massey Tunnel with a bridge – a move expected to increase shipping capacities on the Fraser River – only further the logic of moving the tracks, Baldwin said. “You can see the future coming, and it’s not looking like less trains.” Last year, Baldwin estimated the costs of moving the line at $350400 million, not including any work south of the border. In August 2013, staff from White Rock and the City of Surrey began researching the idea’s feasibility and preparing a business case. Following a joint community forum with Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts in November, critics said it would simply move the problem from one neighbourhood to another. The following month, Surrey Coun. Mary Martin later said track realignment “will not happen… in the foreseeable future.” A council resolution is needed to get the ball rolling again, Baldwin said, and he hopes counterparts in Surrey will follow suit. Steps to follow will include getting all of the stakeholders involved and approaching the Ministry of Transportation for approval. “It’s going to be a long process, but it has to start somewhere and that’s a good first step. “We have nothing to lose by it.”

CFSEU notes more big cases to go to trial in 2015

Gang killings decline: report Jeff Nagel Black Press

A recent drop in gang violence now has B.C.’s anti-gang police unit looking to the courts for closure on several major outstanding cases. Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit chief officer Kevin Hackett said the “significant decline” in organized-crime homicides comes after a series of high-profile investigations leading to charges, as well as new initiatives to prevent or reduce gang membership. His comments were published Monday in the unit’s 2014 annual community report. It can be found online at bc-anti-gang.com The number of gang-related killings in B.C. fell to 13 last year from 18 in 2012 and has been cut by almost two-thirds from the 36 gang murders committed in 2009. Nearly 100 organized-crime figures or gang-related individuals were arrested and charged last year with more than 270 offences in close to 30 B.C. communities, Hackett said. The report’s release came after the province announced policing cuts that will pare the CFSEU budget by $2.8 million. Much public attention has focused on the Surrey Six murder trial, which concluded in early July. A decision is expected to be handed down Oct. 2 in the case against two of the men accused of killing two innocents along with four other targeted victims. But a separate murder conspiracy trial for Red Scorpions gang member Jamie Bacon is slated to begin next May for his alleged role in the Surrey Six slayings. And there could be two other major gang murder trials in 2015 as well. A trial is expected to begin next year in Kelowna, where Jonathan Bacon was gunned down three

Jujhar Khun-Khun, Michael Kerry Hunter Jones and Jason Thomas McBride face firstdegree murder charges as well as four counts each of attempted murder. CFSEU officials say next year could also see the start of a trial against Cory Vallee, accused in two murders – the 2009 shooting in Langley of Red Scorpion Kevin LeClair and the 2008 shooting in Burnaby of Jonathan Barber, who was mistakenly targeted because he was installing a stereo in a car owned by a Bacon brother. Vallee, who was arrested in August in Mexico and quickly returned to B.C., also faces conspiracy charges in relation to a UN Gang plot to kill the Bacon brothers. Hackett said a joint CFSEUIHIT investigation also led to murder conspiracy guilty pleas last year against six UN Gang members and associates. He said the gangsters had been “ruthlessly hunting” members of the Bacon crime group in 2008-

09, a period during which police efforts also prevented at least two more murders. “They displayed blatant disregard for public safety in what Crown counsel referred to as ‘human safaris’ while they targeted their rivals.” The six received sentences of seven to 14 years each and although UN Gang leader Barzan Tilli-Choli could be out late in 2018 due to time served, he is expected to then be deported to Iraq. Hackett was optimistic the CFSEU’s edgy End Gang Life campaign (endganglife.ca) will help persuade more gang members to reform. It plays on the emotions of gangsters with imagery of loved ones left behind after they’re dead. The annual report includes statistics on the ethnicity of gang murder victims, where the bodies are typically found (31 per cent inside a car, 20 per cent inside a residence), as well as seasonal patterns in gang violence.

Action needed to get students back in school

he ongoing teachers’ strike has crossed a new threshold. For the first time ever, B.C. teachers are on strike at the dawn of a new school year. Despite a very rocky relationship between government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and a number of strikes in the past 40 years, school has always started on time in B.C. – until this year. This points out how deeply entrenched the two sides are. The provincial government is determined not to buckle to pressure and legislate teachers back to work. It reasons that imposed contracts simply have not worked in the past – and they haven’t. The BCTF, meanwhile, is determined not to lose any ground it thinks it has secured as a result of two B.C. Supreme Court rulings by Justice Susan Griffin – rulings on class size and composition that the government is appealing. The union’s desire to hold onto the gains is understandable. Those provisions were written into a contract it secured with the NDP government under former premier Glen Clark, and over the objections of school trustees. There is no doubt that class composition and size are important factors that determine how well students learn. Nor is there any doubt that classroom teachers know best how they impact their classrooms. However, there needs to be a far better way to improve those conditions than by going back to a contract from 15 years ago, when conditions in classrooms were far different than they are today. For example, many more learning disabilities have been identified since that time. These need to be properly addressed. Something else that needs to be challenged is the rhetoric used by many people involved in this dispute. For example, as columnist Bill Tieleman has pointed out, no one is “holding children hostage.” That is taking place in Nigeria, not B.C. The two sides need to, at the very least, be talking to one another daily to see if there is any room for compromise. Ideally, the talks would continue while children were in school. Perhaps that is hoping for too much, but children should be in classrooms in September, not on the sidelines.

and another about a digital merger of 1,600 school libraries with public and post-secondary schools. Growth of options accelerates. Largely drowned out by the noise of 1970s-style industrial labour strife, the B.C. public school curriculum is being refashioned for this new age. Among its goals is to “allow teachers and students the flexibility to personalize their learning experience to better meet each student’s individual strengths and needs.” One of B.C.’s early models for selfdirected learning is Thomas Haney secondary in Maple Ridge, where senior high students are expected to make their own way through course work, learning to manage their own time. It was here that the first couple of Grade 12 students showed up last week to begin making up for lost time from the strike that set in last spring. Self-directed study has become a crash course. Private schools are also swamped with applications from Grade 12 students looking for particular courses they will need by next year. In the short term, Fassbender says the lost strike days will likely have to be restored to the school schedule. “Do you put it on at the end of the year? Do you take it out of spring break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said. In the longer term, the whole factory model of school is on the way out.

Individuals help out Editor: I was so impressed with the quick response by White Rock pubic works yard and the city’s maintenance staff that I had to share. My sister lives on Lee Street, and last Tuesday’s downpour left the end of her driveway a hazard, as she is visually and physically disabled. I am here from the Island for a visit and went to the works yard Thursday. First thing Friday, a supervisor checked out the damage. Less than an hour later, a young man was here to repair the damage. Kudos to all involved. Your community should be proud to have such a helpful, efficient workforce. Jude Willis, Courtenay Q I would very much like to thank the Peace Arch Hospital nurse and the Canada Post lady who rushed to help me when I caught my foot and went flying across the sidewalk. They helped me up, and the nurse, whose name I did not get, took me right into emergency and waited with me until I was checked in. The hospital was quick and efficient and very kind and in no time at all I had been X-rayed, had a CT scan and a beautiful purple cast on my arm. Once again, many thanks to the nurse and staff at Peace Arch. Gillian Leakey, Surrey

Rail deal gives little in return Editor: Re: All coal concerns addressed: port, Aug. 26. On Nov. 3, 2009, Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway announced it would acquire the remaining 77.4 per cent of BNSF it did not already own – a deal valued at $44 billion. Later, there was a deal between Buffett and Jimmy Pattison, owner of Westshore Terminals, to ship dirty Wyoming coal out of B.C. These two key players apparently share the biggest chunk of the deal privately. What we are left with, as mentioned in the article, is around 25 direct and 25 indirect jobs. In my opinion, a more reasonable share of the deal should be transferred to the region they use for transportation, as it affects us a lot. Instead, they give us fenced access to our promenade and may have all shoreline blocked up to the U.S. border. How convenient they avert attention towards ‘safety issues.’ The fencing they plan to progress will be primitive and ugly. And it still leaves track accessible to those who intend to get there. Why doesn’t BSNF cover their track with plastic transparent tube, as they do in Japan, to efficiently address the trespassing and give a bit of modern view for protection? People need to know that for sake of two shareholders’ interests, we get really nothing back – 25 jobs is a miserable part, considering they exploit our land, and affect the integrity of the region’s wellbeing.

A rally on what should have been the first day of school last week was held at the education minister’s local office.

Funding government employees Editor: The dispute between teachers and the government has now entered the fourth month without any positive steps by either side to reach an agreement. The mediator has termed the situation an impasse. The government has said they have a fiscal responsibility to keep taxes low and cannot afford to meet union demands. The government is standing firm by pointing out that other segments of government have settled for much less than the teachers are asking. There is of course two sides to this dispute. The government is saving considerable money as long as the dispute continues. But to take this surplus, which is teachers salaries, and arbitrarily award it to parents is a bad decision. They have antagonized teachers who have no income, and government has not gained the support of parents, who have said they don’t want money – they want their children educated. The decision of government to gauge the settlement for teachers in relation to that of the public sector should be put in the proper perspective. Teachers are required to have a BA or B.Sc. and a teachers’ degree. This involves loss of income for six years and for some large student loans to pay off. There is also the issue of too many students per class, which is compounded by addition of special-needs students. As a result, teachers have to put in extra hours without compensation to supervise and complete administrative tasks. The key to solving this ongoing dispute is for the government to recognize that teachers’ salaries should be gauged to their university training, which qualifies them to meet the standards and responsibilities of the education system set by the government. The government does not appear to have any reasonable option but to end this dispute by meeting the teachers half-way. Bill Parrott, Surrey Q Lost in the rhetoric of the teachers’ lockout/strike is the concept that the government and BCTF are actually fighting over the same pie. There is a limit as to what volume of taxes can be collected. Government spending, whether it be on health, education, welfare or infrastructure, ultimately comes from the same people. I question whether the current funding model is sustainable. For example, many government employees – be they members of the legislature, firemen, garbage collectors, police or teachers – have, as part of their compensation package, paid benefits and defined benefit pensions. Many non-government employees have no paid benefits and non-defined benefit pensions. We live in a jurisdiction where health care is supposedly universal, regardless of ability to pay. In the case of paid health-care benefits to government workers, are these benefits necessary and, if so, why are they not available to all qualified residents? If not, why are taxpayers obliged to pay for benefits they cannot afford for themselves? Defined benefit pensions are more complex. Pension managers collect money from employees and employers – in the case of government, our taxes – and invest it. Investments may include publicly traded corporations. The success of the investments are dependent on those

corporations being profitable. If they are not, the onus to pay defined benefit pensions is back on the taxpayer. Here is the problem. There are some public servants who treat the word profit as a dirty word. There are others who apparently have political agendas regarding projects and events, which may inhibit their economic success. However, if you are receiving public money dependent on a robust economy, and you have a stake in making policy that may stymie that economy, and you have no fear of that money not arriving because it is guaranteed to be supplied by the taxpayers, the optics are terrible. The solution, as I see it, is a modified economic model. The best way to balance the field is to have publicemployees groups buy their own benefits packages and pension plans. They are huge in numbers so they could extract a better deal. It would also encourage them to have an interest in the future economy, not just their own. In essence, these groups would get a compensation package to divvy up as they see fit. For example, teachers could decide on class sizes, quality and quantity of benefits, while realizing all the pros and cons of changes. They are an extremely well-educated group and presumably strong at critical thinking and analysis skills. If we do not visit a new economic model, I think we will continue to grow a very toxic environment in public services, and we will ultimately lose them as they price themselves out of the taxpayers’ market. Bob Holden, White Rock

Funding special needs An open letter to Premier Christy Clark et al. We are parents of a teen with autism who needs support, like all special-needs children, during this strike. Unlike typically developing teens, most special-needs teens cannot take care of themselves during the day. Our daughter is not and has never been part of the “supported-child development” centre funding that is completely irrelevant to most kids with autism, let alone other special needs. She has had a full-time ABA support worker aide for her autism in school since Grade 1. Although she is over age 12, she cannot look after herself and needs the extra support that she would normally get in school, but which she is now prevented from accessing. What is the government doing to ‘subsidize’ and accommodate these specialneeds students, like they are doing to other typically developing students that need childcare? The funding that is normally allocated to them while in school, $18,500 a year or $98.40 a day, should be allocated to them during this strike. Why is there no plan or accommodation for special-needs students during this strike? Please provide the subsidy that they would normally get in school, during the strike, so we can continue, at least to a certain extent, her supportive learning that she requires for her disability. Ironically, our kids are what appear to be at the core of the strike – class composition – yet both sides seem to have overlooked our kids and their rights and needs. Kids first? We currently find that slogan very ironic to say the least, and need a solution ASAP. Jennifer & Doug Ralph, Surrey

A tow truck crew had to right a vehicle that flipped and landed upside-down in a Marine Drive parking lot Wednesday, after it went out of control while traveling down the Oxford Street hill.

Two airlifted in Oxford crash One person was reportedly in critical condition at Royal Columbian Hospital following a multi-vehicle crash Wednesday in which a car went out of control on Oxford Street at Marine Drive around 3:15 p.m. Witnesses said the vehicle – which was carrying a woman and her child and the child’s nanny – became airborne as it

travelled down the steep hill, struck at least one other car and crashed through a metal guard rail on Marine Drive at the foot of Oxford, showering parts as it went. Witness Dave Reiffer told CBC that he saw the car “bounce off ” a BMW before hitting the guard rail. “It just kind of went airborne

and flipped over,” he said. The dark blue, four-door sedan came to rest upside-down in the waterfront parking lot near the public washrooms, against the wall below the promenade. Two people were airlifted to Royal Columbian, while three others were taken to Peace Arch Hospital. - Alex Browne

Teenager shot in Whalley Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A 19-year-old was shot in Whalley on the weekend in what police are describing as a targeted attack. On Sunday at about 10:30 p.m., Mounties received a call of shots fired near 134 Street and 90 Avenue. Police were also told about several vehicles speeding away from the shooting. Shortly after, Surrey RCMP received a call that a 19-year-old male was being treated in hospital for a non-lifethreatening gunshot wound. The victim was not co-operating with police, but after interviewing witnesses, it appears the gunman was known to the victim. Surrey Mounties are requesting that anyone who may have witnessed the incident or observed vehicles fleeing from the area to call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Route provides access to Coquitlam and Vancouver

Rapid bus to stop in Surrey Kevin Diakiw Black Press

The long-awaited access to a rapid bus to Vancouver is finally making a stop in North Surrey. When the new Port Mann Bridge was completed just over a year ago, the nearest access to the Vancouver-bound rapid bus was in Langley. After lengthy lobbying, and much expense to Surrey development funds, the stop for the #555 bus is now complete. The Surrey stop at the Highway 1 overpass at 156 Street opened last Tuesday, allowing locals access to the rapid bus connecting Langley to the Millennium line SkyTrain in Coquitlam, providing access to Brentwood Town Centre, SFU and Vancouver. Surrey committed $193,000 in development cost charges to build the stop. Coun. Tom Gill, who chairs the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation committee, said the bus stop materialized

File photo

Daryl Dela Cruz advocated for the rapid bus stop in Surrey. thanks to the relentless campaign by 18-year-old Daryl Dela Cruz, who on his website describes himself as a technology fan, a transit user, a researcher and a community issues advocate. Gill describes him as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;outspoken, very smart, intelligent young manâ&#x20AC;? who inundated Gill and the committee with well-argued facts supporting bus access. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has been non-stop for a year (pushing for the stop),â&#x20AC;? Gill said.

Gill is upset that the city got hit with such a large bill. He said the stop should have been created when the Port Mann Bridge and Highway 1 improvements were done by the province. Dela Cruz said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see the stop put in place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a number of people helping me,â&#x20AC;? Dela Cruz said Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have been really enthusiastic about this stop, at least from the riders Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve talked to.â&#x20AC;? In the future, there will be a bus exchange in the area, allowing people to better access the new stop by other transit. Dela Cruz said the next item on his lobby list is challenging the current thinking on rapid transit. The City of Surrey wants atgrade rail, while Dela Cruz said, for myriad reasons, SkyTrain makes more sense. He is heading to Japan on a scholarship this month, but says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be keeping in touch with local issues by Internet.

Two years in jail for bus assault Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A man who attacked a bus driver in Surrey in March has been sentenced to two years in jail. Sean Tyler Quaye, 25, was arrested and charged in April, about two weeks after a Coast Mountain bus driver reported being punched in the face while driving his route near 72 Avenue and 132 Street. Quaye was driving a stolen car in Newton at the time of his arrest and police said he was

known to them. On Thursday in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster, Quaye pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm. He had originally pleaded not guilty. Quaye was also sentenced to three years probation, during which time heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not allowed on Metro Vancouver transit. In handing down the sentence, Justice Robert Jenkins described Quayeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crime as â&#x20AC;&#x153;beyond comprehension,â&#x20AC;? and said he would

Rotary District 5050 International Service Project

District 5050

have delivered a harsher sentence if he could have. Quaye and a woman got on the Surrey bus on March 26. Transit driver Jagdeep Grewal was proceeding down 72 Avenue when, without warning, Quaye got up and punched him in the face, breaking his nose. The sentence was what Crown recommended. Grewal suffered mental trauma on top of his physical injuries and hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t returned to his job since. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with files from CTV

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Bill Vigars recalls his time on Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope

‘He carried people’s emotions with him’ Surrey events

Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

he first time Bill Vigars met Terry Fox, both were bleary-eyed, having not had much sleep the night before. It was just after 4 a.m. outside a motel in Edmundston, N.B., and the 21-year-old Fox – who’d had his right leg amputated in 1977 after being diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer – was slogging through the early stages of his 1980 Marathon of Hope, and about to set out on another 26 miles. Vigars was there as a representative of the Canadian Cancer Society, his bosses having sent him on a late flight from Toronto in April that year to meet with Fox “and sort of give him a boost.” After arriving at the motel in the wee hours of the morning, Vigars – who started as a volunteer with the society and had only been officially working there a few months – decided against getting a room, choosing instead to wait outside for Fox, who would be running in mere hours. Vigars laughs when he recalls Fox’s first words to him. “He said, ‘You’re the guy from the cancer society?’ I think he was expecting some guy in a suit, and here I was, a guy who had just spent the night sleeping in his car. But we really hit it off.” The two had spoken on the phone a few days earlier, when Fox was in Sheet Harbour, N.S., and Vigars had asked him what he wanted to do when he got to Ontario. “I’d like to meet Trudeau, I’d like to meet Bobby Orr and Darryl Sittler, I’d like to go to the CN Tower and I’d like to go to a Blue Jays game,” Fox said. A day later, Vigars had most, if not all, of it planned – except for a meeting with the prime minister. “I couldn’t find him,” chuckled Vigars, now a semi-retired public-relations professional living on the Peninsula. After meeting Fox in New Brunswick, Vigars stayed on with the touring group and became Fox’s de facto public-relations director and schedule-keeper. Estimating when Fox would arrive in certain cities, Vigars would call ahead in an effort to drum up support, in the name of raising money for cancer research. “There’s a kid with one leg who is running across Canada, would you be interested in holding an event?” he would ask. The response was often the same. “Well, if he makes it this far, sure, we’ll do something.”

Three Terry Fox Runs are planned around town – all on Sunday, Sept. 14.

South Surrey Held at the Rotary Fieldhouse at South Surrey Athletic Park, registration is set for 8 a.m., with the run at 9 a.m. There are two circuits, a 1.6-km or six-km route. Participants can run, walk or cycle. “We are really proud to be able to put on this event every year,” said Rotary Club of White Rock president Joan Apel. To download a pledge sheet, or to donate online, go to www.terryfox.org/run

Cloverdale The Cloverdale event begins at the Cloverdale Legion (17567 57 Ave.) at 10 a.m. Sunday, and wraps up by noon. There are one-km, five-km and 10-km routes, and participants are encouraged to run, walk, bike or rollerblade.

Newton Scheduled for Bear Creek Park, registration is at 8 a.m. and the event begins at 9 a.m. The routes – one, five or 10 km – are suitable for runners/walkers, cyclists and those with wheelchairs, but are not suitable for rollerbladers.

As Fox made his way from the Maritimes through Quebec and southern Ontario that summer, the Marathon of Hope really took off. And despite 34 years having passed, Vigars still carries with him a well of memories. Dates, cities, names, faces – he remembers it all. He recalls how – because of a last-minute

offer – Fox decided against going to Parliament Hill and instead ended up doing a ceremonial kickoff at an Ottawa Rough Riders game. Vigars was there, at midfield with Fox, when Ottawa star Tony Gabriel – now a Canadian Football League hall of famer – told Fox he was the country’s greatest athlete. i see page 12

WE HAVE A WINNER!

Terry Fox Run planned for Sunday i from page 12 And he remembers Oshawa, Ont., when a young mother told Fox that he “was running for my little boy.” “Where is he? I’d love to meet him,” Fox said. “He died of cancer last week,” the mother replied. “That was one of the few times during the trip that I just lost it,” Vigars said. “I had to walk away, and take a minute.” It was then that he realized Fox’s journey was taking more than just a physical toll. “It wasn’t just an athletic achievement, to run all those miles. Terry carried so many people’s emotions with him, too. Like in Oshawa, I took a minute to step away, but Terry couldn’t take a break from it. He took it all in. He ran with it all.” There were downtimes, too. In the early stages, Vigars said, Fox was disillusioned with the lack of attention his run was bringing to cancer. Conversely, at the Marathon of Hope’s height, he was worried that what he was doing was overshadowing the real issue – curing cancer. Mostly, though, what Vigars remembers is Fox himself. He remembers his great, silly sense of humour, and that he loved to playfully argue with his younger brother, Darrell, about just about anything. He wasn’t the most polished of public speakers – whether speaking to thousands at a large rally in Toronto’s Nathan Phillips Square, or to a few people on a rural roadside in some small town – but he always spoke from the heart. That, Vigars thinks, is what drew so many people to him.

Hundreds take part in the South Surrey Terry Fox run each year. “He didn’t have speech writers, or a PR team telling him what to say. When he talked, it was just real.” After 5,300 kilometres, Fox was forced to stop his cross-Canada journey in Thunder Bay on Sept. 1, when it was discovered that the cancer had spread to his lungs. Vigars, along with Terry’s parents, Betty and Rolland, was with Fox in the ambulance in Thunder Bay, and he remembers clearly a conversation Fox had with his father. “This is so unfair,” his dad lamented. “No it isn’t. I’m not any different than anybody else. Sometimes cancer comes back,” Terry replied. “And maybe this will help people realize better why I’m doing this.” Fox returned home to Coquitlam to receive cancer treatment, while Vigars went back to Ontario. The last time he

saw Fox was that winter, when Vigars came west to visit the ailing runner in the hospital. “When I left, I gave him a hug,” he said. “The last thing I ever said to him was, ‘I will make you live forever.’” Fitting words, considering all that’s come since. In the years following the Marathon of Hope, and after Fox’s death in 1981 at age 22, Terry Fox Run fundraisers have amassed more than $600 million for cancer research. Each year, thousands of events are held in more than 30 countries. The Terry Fox Foundation, Vigars points out, has many volunteers and few overhead costs, which means 84 cents of every dollar donated goes directly to research. On the Peninsula, the Rotary Club of White Rock has for the last 17 years held a run at South Surrey Athletic Park. Last year’s run raised $15,000. Today (Tuesday), Vigars was set to speak to the host rotary club about his experiences with Terry. Other Surrey runs are scheduled for Newton and Cloverdale Sunday, although public-school runs are dependent on the current labour dispute. Though the run that bears Fox’s name is now well-known worldwide, Vigars admits to a few nervous moments in the mid-1980s. “It was the greatest adventure of my whole life… but I was always worried it would kind of fade out, like so many of these kind of events do,” he said. “But it never did. So many people are still inspired by him. It’s like he’s still around.”

M ember

On March 18, 2013 the Family Law Act became law in BC. This law changes how the Court views and deals with the issue of how to appoint a guardian for your child. The Family Law Act restricts the situations where you can appoint a person who is not a parent of a child as the child’s guardian without a court order.

HORIZON Kent Sanderson, Kim Karras, Kirsten Wharton, Tamara Huculak

APPOINTING A GUARDIAN FOR YOUR CHILD IN BC

The temporary guardian will be able to make day-to-day decisions about the care of the child within the guidelines set out by the guardian. If a guardian is facing a terminal illness or incapacity, then he or she can appoint a standby guardian to care for the child in the event that he or she is unable to do so, even if there may be other guardians still capable of caring for the child. A guardian can appoint a testamentary guardian in his or her Will to take effect upon his or her death even if there are other guardians still alive. Standby guardians and testamentary guardians only receive the parenting responsibilities that the appointing guardian had. For more detailed explanations of the Family Law Act and how it will affect your estate planning arrangements regarding your child, we recommend you consult your lawyer.

Preventing gang activity in BC ▾ MYTH: Once kids join a gang there’s no hope for them: Reality: With quick family, school, and police intervention, a youth can leave the gang without any serious consequences. The key is a coordinated and collaborative intervention as soon as some of the warning signs appear. Better yet, everyone needs to work together to prevent youth and young adults from joining gangs.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Preseason in full swing as BC Hockey League opening night approaches

New Eagles ‘fitting in’ as season looms Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

hrough four days of scrimmages and practice drills, and a pair of exhibition games last weekend, new Surrey Eagles coach Blaine Neufeld likes what he sees from his team. The Eagles held training camp last week, and Friday and Saturday played a homeand-home exhibition series against the Chilliwack Chiefs. “Things have been really good. It’s been a lot of fun to see the boys grow, even just over the first four days,” Neufeld told Peace Arch News Friday, prior to his team heading east to Chilliwack for their first preseason contest. While Neufeld said it was still too soon to predict exactly how his roster would shake down by puck drop on opening night, he said the club’s veterans seemed ready to go. “The returning guys really stood out, of course, but there were some surprises, too,” Neufeld said. One such pleasant surprise was the play of new acquisition Latrell Charleson, a hulking 19-year-old blue-liner who Neufeld says “has all the tools you’d want in a defenceman.” Charleson, a Surrey native, played last year for the Battleford North Stars of the Saskatchewan Junior ‘A’ Hockey League, tallying 27 points in 50 games. Heading the other way in the swap was Brown University-bound Phil Johansson, who was one of the Eagles’ top defencemen last year. Neufeld thinks Charleson, who is listed at six-foot-four and 220 pounds, will fit seamlessly into the team’s defence core. “We got to know him through some other guys on the team who’d played with him before. We watched a lot of video on him and really like him,” the coach said. “But now I’ve seen him play in person, and he’s just such an intimidating force out there. He’s got an excellent shot, too.” Early returns on some of the team’s young forwards – all still vying for a spot on the team – were also good, Neufeld said, specifically mentioning the play of Ty Westgard, Darius Davidson and Liam Fordy. All three are from the Semiahmoo Peninsula. Westgard and Davidson played a few games with Surrey last season,while Fordy – who played last year for the junior ‘B’ Delta Ice Hawks – was signed in June. “All the guys are really fitting in well. I’m excited to see how things go now that we’ve started playing against other teams (in the

preseason),” Neufeld said. Between the pipes, two new goaltenders will be vying for the starting job, as last year’s sole returning netminder, Bo Didur, was traded last week to the Langley Rivermen. Daniel Urbani, an off-season acquisition from the Alberta Junior League’s Brooks Bandits, and 19-year-old prep school goalie Christian Short are likely to be on the team’s roster, but the starting job is up for grabs. “It’s an open competition,” Neufeld said.

Eaglequest Coyote Creek now offers ‘FootGolf ’

Kicking it up a notch

O N T HE S EM I A H M O O PEN I N S U LA

The aim of Soaring Spirit Psychotherapy is to help the individual reclaim their personal power…

Rick Kupchuk Black Press

With the number of golfers teeing it up decreasing, Eaglequest Coyote Creek is promoting a nontraditional sport to lure people back to the green. FootGolf, an 18-hole sport that sees participants kicking a soccer ball as opposed to swinging a club, is now offered at the Guildford course. “We’re excited, we have received lots of positive feed back from a lot of people who are playing,” said Coyote Creek spokesperson Janette Richardson. “The first (FootGolf) course to do this was in Salmon Arm, we’re the second.” Currently there are just three courses in B.C. offering FootGolf through the Canadian FootGolf Association. And more are expected as fewer people take up traditional golf. “Golf numbers are declining,” said Richardson.

FootGolf is now being offered in Surrey. “It’s down seven to 10 per cent all over.” Coyote Creek launched FootGolf earlier this summer and has received plenty of response. “There’s positive feedback, and there’s the negative,” said Richardson. “There are some people who think we’re taking away from golf, the traditional game.” But there are many

who enjoy the newer sport. It costs just $15 to play a round. At the official opening, roughly 100 people registered to play, and several businesses inquired about hosting a company tournament. “It takes just two hours to do 18 holes,” said Richardson. “You just aim for the big pots, marked by the yellow flags.”

Regardless of the issues that you are struggling with such as depression, anxiety, grief, work, family of origin issues, relationship difficulties, and substance abuse, when you make the decision to seek counselling you need to feel safe, nurtured and supported. This is what Mary provides for her clients at Soaring Spirit Counselling
