White Rock to host public information meeting April 1 regarding privatization

Residents to rally over garbage Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

Dozens of White Rock condominium residents plan to rally at city hall next week to protest the city’s decision to privatize solidwaste pickup. Representatives from 30 condominium complexes met Tuesday evening to discuss the city’s announcement in January that it would no longer be offering public garbage, recycling and organics collection to commercial and multifamily buildings come July 1. The group – which plans to gather at city hall Monday at noon – has taken particular issue with the fact that city council held no public-information meetings leading up to the decision, which was made in December at an in-camera meeting. “They’ve done all of this in closed meetings,

there’s been no consultation with the people of White Rock,” said Ian Routledge, noting his Thrift Avenue condo will be one of hundreds of multifamily dwellings affected by the change. City officials, however, dispute the notion that process wasn’t followed. According to the city’s chief administrative officer, Dan Bottrill, the decision by council to change waste-pickup services was made in line with the Community Charter. Routledge said the city is hosting a publicinformation meeting April 1 that will, according to the city’s website, give residents “the opportunity to ask questions to understand privatization, the Metro Vancouver organics ban, the reflection in your municipal-tax levy and more.” However, Routledge called the city’s effort

“insulting,” given the impact the change will have on its residents. “There are 250 different stratas in White Rock and this is the only way to get any information from the city, and they’ve given us two hours,” he said. According to a draft operating budget presented by staff at a March 9 finance and audit committee meeting, the city is projected to save $161,000 from July 1 to Dec. 31 of this year as a result of the change, which will “assist in absorbing other expected cost increases without impacting property taxes.” Routledge, however, said a “conservative” estimate of the cost of private waste removal would be about $2,000 per condo building each year. “While that doesn’t sound like a lot, there i see page 5

The accused in a brazen South Surrey shooting will skip preliminary hearings and be tried in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. Brody Paterson’s first-degree murder trial in connection with the killing of Craig Widdifield in 2013 will continue by way of direct indictment, resulting in a stay of proceedings last week in Surrey Provincial Court, Crown spokesperson Neil MacKenzie confirmed Tuesday. Paterson’s next appearance is slated for March 26. MacKenzie would not disclose the reasons the choice was made to proceed by direct indictment, citing the ongoing court proceedings. But he acknowledged the step is not taken often. “The use of Craig Widdifield victim direct indictments by Crown in B.C. is becoming somewhat more frequent, but it does still remain a small proportion of the total files handled by the branch each year,” MacKenzie told Peace Arch News by email. According to Criminal Justice Branch policy, the use of direct indictment is reserved for very serious cases and allows the Crown, with the written consent of the attorney general’s office, to bring the case directly to Supreme Court without a preliminary inquiry – which is typically held to determine if there is enough evidence to take a case to trial. Proceeding by direct indictment will generally be appropriate when it is determined to be in the public interest, according to the policy. Factors considered include when there is significant danger of harm – either psychological or physical i see page 4

Medical users aim to have oil extracts and other products authorized

High court to rule on edible marijuana Jeff Nagel Black Press

Canada’s high court will weigh the constitutional rights of medical-marijuana users for the first time on Friday. At stake in the case before the Supreme Court of Canada is whether approved legal cannabis users can be restricted to just using dried marijuana – the only authorized product under the new system of regulated producers – and denied access to oil extracts and other options, such as pot brownies and cookies. It flows from the 2009 drug-trafficking arrest of Owen Smith, a Victoria man who baked pot into various edibles for a cannabis buyers’ club. Medical-pot patients have twice convinced lower courts in B.C. that it’s unconstitutional for them to be denied their medicine in different forms if they cannot or do not wish to smoke it.

The B.C. Court of Appeal split 2-1 on the issue last August, agreeing federal regulations should simply state “marijuana” instead of “dried marijuana,” but said actual changes to legislation should come from Parliament. Health Canada has so far refused to authorize alternative medical-marijuana products. “Other means that don’t involve smoking are less problematic for health,” said Abbotsford lawyer John Conroy, calling the restriction inconsistent with the medical-marijuana regulation’s goal of protecting health. He said alternative forms are more effective for some people. “Sick people trying to enhance their quality of life should not be criminalized for their choice of medicine,” said lawyer Kirk Tousaw, who represents Smith. He will argue the current law limiting authorized users to dried marijuana restricts the choice of treatment for serious illnesses

and therefore violates the charter right to life, liberty and security of the person. Tousaw will urge the top court to simply exempt medical-marijuana possession from the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Medical pot could then still be regulated by other means by Ottawa, he said, but its users would be shielded from criminal prosecution. “You can keep your outdated, ineffective prohibition on recreational marijuana consumers and producers. But let’s take sick people off the front lines of this ridiculous war on this plant.” Police and federal authorities object because, unlike a bag of dried bud, it’s difficult to readily determine if personal possession limits are exceeded with products or extracts like brownies, cookies, oils and topical creams. Tousaw insists it’s a red herring and other jurisdictions have dealt with that issue. “To our immediate south in Washington,

you can access all of these products, medically or recreationally, without fear of criminal sanction.” The one-day Supreme Court hearing on March 20 is just one legal front in a war between pot advocates and the federal government over how medical marijuana is controlled. The other key battleground is in Federal Court, where Conroy has sought to overturn the federal government’s ban on personal home growing by licensed users, which has continued under an injunction pending the outcome of the case. He is also making a constitutional argument on behalf of users who say they cannot afford to buy commercially grown marijuana under Ottawa’s new system. Conroy will argue Ottawa has insufficient justification for the ban in closing arguments set for the end of April.

Sarbjit Bains charged with second-degree murder

Accused to stand trial in 2013 death Sheila Reynolds Black Press

The man accused of killing a Delta man whose charred body was found dumped on Surrey’s Colebrook Road two years ago has been ordered to stand trial in B.C. Supreme Court. Sarbjit Bains was arrested in January 2014 in connection to the death of 29-year-old Amritpal Saran a year earlier. Saran’s body was discovered Feb. 24, 2013 on a secluded section of Colebrook Road near 121 Street, south of Joe Brown Park. Bains, 33, is charged with second-degree murder and interference with a dead body. According to court records, he was ordered by

Surrey Fire Services is investigating a blaze that ripped through a South Surrey home last Saturday. Firefighters received multiple calls from neighbours of the home – at 17438 28 Ave. – at 6 a.m. on March 14. According to deputy fire Chief Dan Barnscher, by the time crews arrived, the fire was “fully involved.” “It was pretty much through the roof then,” he said, noting five fire engines and 20 firefighters were on hand to contain the fire, which was declared “knocked down” by 6:50 a.m. There were no occupants home at the time, however, a tenant was staying in an outbuilding on the property, Barnscher said. An investigator has been to the property to follow up on the incident, Barnscher said, however, it could take some time to determine the cause of the fire. “Usually with a building with that amount of damage, it’s really hard to pinpoint exactly what the cause was. They can certainly pinpoint where it originated, but the cause will take a little bit of time and may not be conclusive,” he said. – Sarah Massah

No further charges announced i from page 1 – to victims or witnesses, to protect the identity of an informant, logistical problems, courtroom security and when an expedited trial is necessary. Other high-profile cases in Canada where direct indictment has been used include that of notorious serial killer Paul Bernardo. Widdifield, 28, was gunned down in what police described as a targeted shooting on April 24,

2013, in the 15700-block of Croydon Drive, at approximately 7 p.m. Multiple 911 calls were made after shots rang out. Widdifield’s body was found in a parking lot, near a toy store and coffee shop, by a walkway leading to the Steve Nash Sports Club and overhead condominiums. At the time, police told media that Widdifield was known to police “for this lifestyle.” Shortly after Widdifield’s death,

RCMP recovered a Jeep Cherokee. At a news conference with Surrey RCMP last October, Integrated Homicide Investigation Team Asst. Supt. Dwayne McDonald said “valuable evidence” recovered from the vehicle helped lead to Paterson’s arrest. While police also indicated at that time that further arrests were imminent, no other charges have been filed in connection with Widdifield’s death.

‘Fairness’ key in proposed user-fee i from page 1 are 250 strata buildings in White Rock, and no garbage removal companies in the city,” he explained. “So, that is $500,000 that will go directly out of the economy of White Rock because of this situation.” Bottrill said Wednesday it’s “not unusual” to deal with issues that are in closed (meetings), in particular, if there are some negotiations that ultimately have to occur as a result of the decisions that are made,” Bottrill told Peace Arch News Wednesday, noting there are a number of provisions in the Community Charter allowing decisions to be made in-camera. “One is a provision of municipal services that council may be contemplating, including cessation of a service. That’s the portion of the Community Charter that we were dealing with under these circumstances.” In addition to the changes on the way for business and multifamily dwellings, changes could be on the way for single-family homes as well. In the March 9 finance and audit committee meeting, staff presented a 2015 to 2019 draft financial plan, recommending to council that the city charge a “solid waste user fee” for each single-family home, as opposed to using the current general-tax levy – based on property value – to pay for waste pickup.

City staff estimate the fee for White Rock grocery store earlier the first six months (July 1 to this month. Dec. 31) would be $192. “Lots of White Rock residents Bottrill said this proposed are already very upset by the change is based on “equity and city’s decision to stop all multifairness” for residents in single- family and commercial service family homes. with no consultation,” CUPE “It really wasn’t fair when every 402-01 president Mike Guraliuk single-family property said in a news release. is entitled to the same Business owners in service – two cans of White Rock who will be garbage, for example affected by the coming – but depending on the changes learned more value of your property this month about their you were, in effect, payoptions when it comes ing differentiated taxes, to hiring a private conwithout any correlation tractor to remove their to the service that was garbage, recycling and being provided,” he said. organics.

Left-lane laws not necessary

.C.’s Ministry of Transportation is hogging the left-hand lane, speeding toward another misplaced priority. Minister Todd Stone’s announcement this month that the province is looking at legislation targeting left-lane hogs on the highway is populist pandering, it’s unnecessary and it’s undesirable. Stone suggests left-lane huggers are particular to B.C. – coincidentally the province in which he happens to commute to work. Apparently, everyone who drives slower than our transportation minister is a slowpoke and everyone who drives faster than him is a maniac. This isn’t a law for which British Columbians have been clamouring – it seems to have appeared in our rear-view mirror from out of nowhere. One imagines the minister turned red with road rage recently, stuck behind some driver who failed to accelerate. On the long list of transportation problems faced by residents in this province – especially in the Lower Mainland – slow left-lane drivers wouldn’t likely crack the top 10. It’s a nuisance, sure. But not something our elected officials should be concerning themselves with at this point in time. Stone says ICBC statistics and RCMP traffic reports show that failure to keep right causes a lot of collisions, but we suspect that the impatient drivers who surround the cautious ones are every bit as culpable. Must our roads suit only the fast and the furious? Already the B.C. Liberal government has raised speed limits, conditioning motorists to race at Mach 1. Any crackdown on left-lane hogs is going to empower tailgaters and roadragers, potentially causing more car crashes. The province has been erecting signs along the highways gently reminding motorists to keep right; that should suffice. As well, in many parts of the province, the highway speed limits have already been bumped up to 120 km/h – though not on Highway 1 through the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. While it can be frustrating to drive behind those who plod along in sub-compacts – some of which may have trouble revving up to 120 km/h – most of them are familiar enough with the unwritten rules of the road, and will move over to the right lane just as soon as it’s safe to do so. Yes, the left lane is there to get us where we’re going, faster. But for drivers who are in that much of a rush to get where they’re going, legislation is not the answer. Perhaps they could just leave the house a couple of minutes earlier.

province, TransLink and Surrey council have failed them. There were promises of buses across the Port Mann as an alternative to paying tolls, but only the 555 route from Langley, with one Surrey stop, has been established. The bridge-toll issue is significant in the mayors’ transportation plan on which we will be voting. The plan calls for a tolled Pattullo Bridge to replace the existing 78-year-old bridge. Provincial cabinet ministers, like former transportation minister Kevin Falcon, promised that it would be a free alternative to the Port Mann, in combination with the South Fraser Perimeter Road, and many people use it for that purpose. A tolled Pattullo means there will be three tolled Fraser River crossings. Premier Christy Clark has promised a new bridge to replace the Massey Tunnel. It, too, will be tolled. When it opens, there will be just one free bridge between the mouth of the Fraser River and the Mission Bridge – the Alex Fraser, which is already extremely busy. Gill said Surrey council opposes piecemeal tolling of bridges and wants all bridges tolled at modest levels. His exact words: “Surrey council disagrees with any tolls on any bridge.” Yet he and the entire council support the mayors’ plan and the tolled Pattullo. That sounds a tad hypocritical to me. Good promised that callers who don’t get through can leave messages, which will be returned. I left a message for Gill about the apparent contradictory message on tolling. I have yet to hear back from him. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

Watch what you vote for Editor: So, our door-to-door mail delivery has been phased out and replaced by community mailboxes that are an invitation to mail theft and identity theft. All this so we can have fewer letter carriers on the payroll. Welcome to the world of tax cuts. The world of tax cuts also includes long waits for knee and hip surgery and delayed access to medical specialists. It includes shifts in our overcrowded local high schools, and for our college students, doubled fees and big debts. The world of tax cuts means short-changing our veterans. It means over-crowded hospitals. Remember, we in the South Surrey and White Rock area voted for this, and by a big margin, too. And later this year, we’ll be asked to do it all over again. Ain’t it grand. Bill Piket, White Rock

others, ask you to do your part to communicate your support to your colleagues and constituents. Credible voices are needed to help awareness grow. It has been pointed out that Bill C-648 will likely be “in waiting” for second reading until after the 2015 federal election. This is unfortunate, to say the least. Kudos to Mr. Young for giving MPs a chance to do what is right. I would like to know where you stand on this. Do you dismiss Mr. Young’s proposal or support it? Whether or not you support the bill needs to be clarified before the upcoming election.

I know you must be very busy with your remaining responsibilities as an MP but, if possible, please be so kind as to respond. It will help me, and others, decide how to vote. Linda Ewart, White Rock

Kindness not uncommon Editor: I live in Cloverdale and drove to the Peace Arch Hospital for X-rays. Once in the parking lot, I realized I didn’t have my wallet.

I really did not want to drive home and come back, so I did something I wouldn’t have done when I was younger (I’m now 70). I approached a couple of young guys at the meter and asked them if they would pay for an hour. I offered my email address where they could contact me and I could reimburse them. They said that they would split the cost, paid for two hours and told me, “Don’t worry about it.” They made my day and I think this is an anecdote that should be shared. I’m thinking this is more typical of young people today than we give credit for. Margaret Campbell, Surrey

The wording and spirit of this non-partisan bill has been carefully considered, and it deserves a serious second reading in the House. Governments and authorities worldwide are now beginning to act decisively on the growing number of studies regarding the dangers of wireless infrastructure and RF radiation-emitting devices.

Funds eyed for Johnston Road would be better-spent on rail-crossing gates, writes Erika Johanson.

City’s funding priorities crossed Editor: Re: $780,000 allotted for $2.3M Johnston plan, March 5. On Feb. 16, I attended my first City of White Rock council meeting. In addition to removing question period, council approved $780,000 toward improving Johnston Road. I was astounded on both counts! First, what’s wrong with the public asking questions of our officials? And second, what’s wrong with Johnston Road? This letter is about the latter. Turns out, the amount the city is requesting from the New Building Canada Fund, of which small communities are to provide a portion of the cost, is actually $2.3 million.

The category under which White Rock is applying for funds is ‘Highways and Major Roads’. One of the other categories is ‘Disaster Mitigation Infrastructure’. Based on my reading of Peace Arch News, citizens are actually concerned with rail-crossing safety and not improvements on Johnston Road. It seems to me that $780,000 – or $2.3 million – is better-purposed toward getting railroad-crossing gates on our shoreline than putting more flower pots on Johnston Road. It’s highly unlikely these federal funds will be approved, but, if the City of White Rock has $780,000 to burn, install the rail-crossing gates. One death is one too many. Erika Johanson, White Rock

Survey finds 61 per cent of voters likely to vote against transit tax

EASYTAX

-DAY SAME D! REFUN

Two-to-one lead for ‘no’ votes: poll Jeff Nagel Black Press

The ‘no’ campaign has more than twice as much support as the ‘yes’ side in Metro Vancouver’s transit referendum, according to a new poll. The Angus Reid Institute online survey found 61 per cent of voters in the region are definitely or probably voting ‘no’ to the proposed 0.5 per cent Congestion Improvement Tax, compared to 27 per cent who said they will likely vote ‘yes’. Twelve per cent were unsure. The result shows even fewer ‘yes’ voters than successive Insights West polls, the latest of which gave the ‘yes’ side 33 per cent to 55 per cent ‘no.’ More than 1.5 million ballots started going out in the mail this week and are expected to all arrive at homes by the end of the month. Angus Reid pollsters said the ‘no’ sentiment appears widespread, but is strongest in Surrey, Richmond/Delta and the North Shore, and among voters over 35 years old. The race is closer among Vancouver residents, younger people, those with a university education and frequent transit riders, although even they are split.

Although voters have 11 weeks to mail their marked ballots back to Elections BC by a May 29 deadline, the ‘yes’ campaign may not have as much opportunity to persuade no-leaning voters as that would suggest. The polling firm said half of eligible voters intend to mail in their ballot “as soon as they get it.” Distrust of TransLink and a belief too much new money would be wasted from the 0.5 per cent sales tax increase continue to drive the ‘no’ vote. The poll found the ‘yes’ side’s most persuasive argument is that population growth will require transportation improvements, followed by the current congested state of roads and public transit. Top reasons those polled gave for voting ‘no’ were that TransLink “can’t be trusted” with new money from the tax; “TransLink needs to be overhauled before any big proposals go forward”; and others simply don’t want to pay an additional tax. The online survey of 950 Angus Reid forum members from Feb. 25 to March 5 has a margin of error equivalent to 3.3 per cent, 19 times out of 20.

White Rock bylaw adjustment ‘standard practice’

City boosts service fees Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

The City of White Rock has updated – and added to – fees charged for city-run facilities and services. Director of Financial Services Sandra Kurylo presented a report to council detailing proposed changes to the Fees and Charges Bylaw Feb. 16, which council voted in favour of a week later. “The city’s Fees and Charges Bylaw is kind of a catchall bylaw that includes all user fees and charges that aren’t included in any other bylaw the city has,” Kurylo said. “It’s standard practice to update this bylaw at the

beginning of each year, as close to the beginning of the year as possible, to reflect any inflationary increases that may be required to certain fees, as well as any adjustments to insure that the city has recovered the full cost of providing the related services.” While many of the other adjusted fees include a small increase, new fees have been introduced, including underground-oil storage removal documentation ($200), servicing agreement application ($1,500) and extension ($300) fees and a latecomer agreement application fee ($1,500). For Centennial Park Leisure Centre, a dry-floor rental fee will

be in place April to August starting at $60 for adult lacrosse, ball hockey, roller hockey and minor lacrosse, going up to $850 for an eight-hour rental for a dance or major event. For advertisers, there will be a $330 installation fee for a banner in uptown White Rock, or $260 for one at White Rock pier. Kurylo noted that the bylaw amendment was compared to ensure they were in line with other municipalities. “I think most particularly these fees should be recovering the costs that White Rock incurs but for the most part yes, comparisons have been made,” she said.

Surrey learning centres on move Students at North Surrey Learning Centre (NSLC) will attend school at a new location beginning this fall. The alternative program, for teens in Grades 10 to 12, is currently housed in a leased building in Newton, near 77 Avenue and 137 Street. The Surrey School District was informed the building’s owner wasn’t renewing the lease and the program would have to move at the end of the school year.

There are about 240 students at the learning centre. In September, they will attend classes at the current site of Surrey College, behind the district head office at 140 Street and 92 Avenue. The move brings the NSLC fullcircle, as it was previously located at the 140 Street site, but had to move in 2008 while the school district’s new head office building was under construction. NSLC isn’t the only centre on the move.

The changing nature of Surrey Search and Rescue

Searching for new volunteers Boaz Joseph

Black Press

n the spring of 2014, members of Surrey Search and Rescue (SSAR) were called to assist Richmond RCMP in finding a missing man. He went out on a bike ride and was gone for several hours. The man’s wife told police that, although her elderly husband was not diagnosed with dementia, he was starting to be confused and have memory lapses. SSAR volunteers arrived and began to search for him – in cars, on foot and on bikes. After a few hours, the man was spotted with his bike, on a side street. Banged up and heavily scratched from spills during his outing, the man was eventually returned home. The search took several hours and involved eight RCMP officers, 10 auxiliary officers and 18 SSAR members – with more called out when the man was found. The fact that he was finally spotted by an RCMP officer is no issue for SSAR members, as the event came to a happy ending for the family. In many ways, it was a typical search for SSAR in that it was labour-intensive. But the use of such manpower from the all-volunteer non-profit society might change, if Sean Magnusson has anything to say about it. Magnusson, SSAR’s safety officer, is the point man for Project Lifesaver, an electronic system that aims to speed up the recovery of missing people, leaving SSAR prepared to respond to other calls. If the man who went missing in Richmond disappears again – though he is admittedly now watched more closely by his family – the time to find him will be a fraction of last year’s search. He now wears a wristwatch-like device that emits a high-frequency beep every second, which allows SSAR members with a hand-held radio antenna set to the proper

frequency to find him. It’s not GPS or real-time continual monitoring (there are no privacy issues), but a simple directional finder – effective from several hundred metres on the ground and up to a few kilometres in the air. The point-and-find system is part of SSAR’s regular training. SSAR is among the first search-andrescue group in B.C. to implement Project Lifesaver. The only others are the Search and Rescue Society of B.C. (Victoria) and Juan de Fuca Search and Rescue, both of which cover southern Vancouver Island. For now, there are just a handful of people registered on the system with SSAR – people deemed at risk to go missing, with Alzheimer’s disease, autism, Down syndrome, dementia, brain injuries or other disorders.

It’s not free (there’s a $400 lifetime lease and a $25-per-month support system), but Magnusson says its implementation can make for a more efficient use of resources. “It’s here. It works. It’s so much easier on everybody.” Because the system is in its infancy in the region, so far, SSAR members have only been spending time training and making regular visits to clients to change batteries, take updated head shots and update personal (habit) information on their clients. During exercises, “missing” volunteers (sometimes in deep bush) with Project Lifesaver receivers have been found in just a few minutes by searchers several blocks away. In the meantime, SSAR continues with what it began more than 40 years ago: providing search-and-rescue services for the City of Surrey – although nowadays, the society’s mandate includes White Rock, Delta and Richmond. “We average somewhere between 30 and 35, maybe 40 calls – including mutual aid calls (per year),” notes SSAR vice-president Brent Trueman. All calls, which usually involve missing persons, are made to SSAR by the RCMP, who already have the open file of a missing

person. Conditions vary, but in each case, some of SSAR’s 45-or-so volunteers are called out to a meeting point supervised by the RCMP who are still nominally in charge of each scene. “We don’t do anything on our own,” says Trueman. The information shared includes not only a description of the individual, but their last known location, their physical health and state of mind (as provided by family or friends) and known habits. Those habits, such as smoking and the resultant cigarette butts, can help searchers. A couple of times a year, the RCMP calls in SSAR volunteers to look for evidence – sometimes the classic shoulder-to-shoulder searches to cover more ground. But the most common calls in the Surrey area are for missing persons – seniors, teens and children. Not all searches are successful, but Magnusson says that SAR is just one component of missing-persons cases; notifications by police are also made to transit personnel and realtors to be on the lookout.

Searching and rescuing since 1973 i from page 11 Coquitlam, SSAR doesn’t usually get involved in dramatic helicopter, rope or water rescues, but does have specialists with advanced training that are sometimes called to other areas in the province to assist. Because of that, SSAR members-in-training are asked to participate in a spring overnight training event. It’s not just arriving in a secluded spot and setting up a tent, but extensive training for two days broken up by a sleep in the outdoors.

Did You Know... We Carry

Health Minister to introduce proposed changes this month

OSTOMY SUPPLIES

B.C. moves to restrict e-cigs Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government is tightening its regulations to ban the sale of electronic cigarettes to minors and use of the smoking substitute in workplaces, restaurants and other indoor public spaces. Health Minister Terry Lake said changes he introduced in the B.C. legislature this month Terry Lake will treat health minister the batterypowered devices like tobacco products, meaning they may not be displayed in stores or used in enclosed spaces where others are present. That will include private vehicles with children inside. Lake said he expects the new regulations to be in effect within a year, after consulting with the industry and giving sellers time to adjust to the new rules.

File photo

E-cigarettes will be treated as tobacco products if proposed legislation is approved. “This doesn’t ban e-cigarettes,” Lake said. “This means that children are protected from the sale and from being exposed to e-cigarettes, and those who don’t want to be subjected to the vapours from e-cigarettes are protected as well. “Essentially, the same conditions that now apply

to tobacco will apply to e-cigarettes.” Lake said e-cigarettes may have potential as a quit-smoking aid, but they are currently unregulated and the liquid used in them may contain nicotine or other chemicals with health risks. The federal government has banned the sale of so-called “e-juice” containing nicotine, but it remains legal in the U.S. Health Canada has received numerous reports that it is sold north of the border as well. NDP health critic Judy Darcy said she supports the restriction on e-cigarettes, but the lack of measures to prohibit flavoured tobacco products is “a gaping hole” in the government’s bill. Lake said he has been assured by federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose that federal regulations are in the works to deal with flavoured tobacco. “When you’re talking about the manufacture of cigars and cigarettes, it’s better to do that at a federal level, because obviously they’re not made in each individual province,” Lake said.

Aiming to help single parents Tom Fletcher Black Press

Single parents on social assistance will no longer lose their benefits when they go back to school, and will receive additional money for tuition, transportation and child care to complete their studies under a program announced March 11 by the B.C. government. Starting in September, the full costs of child care will continue to be paid for a year after the completion of skills training, and government-paid dental and other health benefits will also continue for a year to give people a chance to get back in the workforce. Social Development Minister Michelle Stilwell said the program will cover training programs up to a year in length, calling it “one of the most significant social

province in Canada to move to an automatic formula for setting the minimum wage. The annual increase will be announced each March based on the previous year’s consumer price index, and will take effect each September to give small businesses time to prepare. In the case of negative inflation, which the province experienced briefly in recent years, the minimum wage would not be decreased. Bond said she expects continued debate on the wage rate, led by the B.C. Federation of Labour, which is calling for an immediate increase to $15 an hour. Naomi Yamamoto, B.C.’s minister of state for small business, said consultation with business was clear that employers want predictable increases, not large jumps. The September increase amounts to about two per cent, keeping B.C.’s minimum wage higher than Alberta and Saskatchewan’s $10.20 an hour.

B.C.’s minimum wage is going up by 20 cents in September, and will see annual increases to match the B.C. consumer price index each September after that. It’s the first increase since 2012, when the current wage of $10.25 was set. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond said this year’s increase reflects what would have taken place if indexing to inflation had been in place at that time. The lower minimum wage for restaurant and pub servers is being retained, going from $9 to $9.20 in September. The discount from the general minimum wage will remain at $1.25 per hour to account for tips earned by servers, Bond said. Piece rates for seasonal piece workers are to receive proportional increases, as are day rates paid to live-in camp counsellors and residential caretakers at apartment buildings. B.C. is the last

Players’ Club’s Quartet ‘delves deep’ Melissa Smalley

Staff Reporter

healthy dose of nostalgia, a touch of forboding mortality and plenty of laughs comprise White Rock Players’ Club’s next production, Ronald Harwood’s Quartet. The poignant yet uplifting play – opening April 8 – tells the story of four retired opera singers, living in a home for retired performers in the English countryside. The group – including the newly arrived ex-wife of one of the singers – is anxiously preparing for a gala performance to celebrate the anniversary of Guiseppe Verdi’s birthday, wading through a sea of doubt, pressure and scrutiny focused on whether the quartet will be able to sing the

Quartet from Rigaletto, a piece that represents the high point in their long-lost careers. For director Don Braird, Quartet is a multi-layered tale of rebuilding relationships, embracing aging and searching for harmony that will appeal to a wide audience. And though he anticipates many theatre-goers will have seen the 2012 film version of Quartet, directed by Dustin Hoffman and starring Maggie Smith, Tom Courtenay, Billy Connolly and Pauline Collins, Braird insists the stage rendition delves much deeper into the lives of the four characters. “The characters as Harwood drew them in the play are, in many respects, much more

complicated and real than they were in the movie,” Braird explained. “(The audience) will definitely learn things in the play that they didn’t learn in the movie about who these people are.” A recurring topic throughout the play, Braird said, is the notion of getting older, something that each character deals with in a unique fashion. “One character has embraced the fact that he’s getting older, while another hates it,” Braird said. “It sounds kind of heavy, but it is a comedy, believe it or not.” The story touches on many facets – both good and bad – of living one’s ‘twilight years,’ for characters whose profession largely depends on staying youthful. “One of the women is on the

edge of dementia, “ Braird said, noting this character is often the source of comic relief throughout the production. “It might not be the most politically correct thing for people to get a laugh out of her, but she absolutely enjoys life, and the fact that every once in a while she does something odd is actually quite endearing.” Appearing on stage at Coast Capital Playhouse is a cast made up of actors from across the Lower Mainland, including Adrian Duncan (from Coquitlam, as Wilf), George Stone (from White Rock, as Reggie), Alison Schamberger (from Port Moody, as Cissy) and Nina Shoroplova (from Vancouver, as Jean).

The next performance in a classical concert series in White Rock will feature a distinguished violinist who has performed all over Europe and North America. Kosova native Sihana Badivuku is slated to perform March 29 at White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s First United Church (15385 Semiahmoo Ave.), in the latest installment of the City of White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Encore Peninsula Concert series. Badivuku, who has a masters degree in violin from Moscow State Conservatory, was born into a musical family in her hometown of Prishtina. Since first learning to play violin as a child, Badivuku has taken part in several international competitions and festivals, and has collaborated with more than a dozen renowned pianists from around the globe.

Fundraiser planned Steph Troughton Black Press

Forty-eight-yearold Surrey father and Simon Fraser University (SFU) Pipe Band member Andrew Bonar is the inspiration behind a March 28 fundraising performance benefiting cancer research. Bonar was diagnosed with brain cancer last fall. He underwent a complicated operation to remove a tumour from the left side of his brain. Ranked as one of the

worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best pipers, Bonar has been with the SFU band for 35 years. Pipe Up For Cancer will be held at SFU Theatre in Burnaby. The 6-7:30 p.m. event will also feature the Heather Jolley Highland Dancers, which includes Bonarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10-year-old daughter, Kate. All funds from the concert will go to the BC Cancer Foundation, as requested by Bonar. Tickets ($35) include a burger and beverage. For more information, visit www.sfupb.com

Do you have a passion for the province’s arts and culture community that you want to share with the rest of the country? BC Culture Days, along with the Ministry of Community Sport and Cultural Development, are searching for an ambassador to represent B.C. at the annual National Congress on Culture in Edmonton. The delegate will act as a spokesperson for Culture

Days, promoting events around the community leading up to Culture Days weekend, which takes place Sept. 25, 26 and 27. The event is billed as a “national celebration of arts, culture, historians, architects, curators and designers at work.” Last year’s Culture Days in Surrey featured performances by Spirit of the West’s John Mann, country singer Lisa Brokop and the Surrey City Orchestra, plus poetry readings and more.

Ambassador applicants must be B.C. artists (amateur or professional) or cultural workers, active in their arts, culture or heritage community and must register to present an activity in B.C. during the 2015 Culture Days weekend. Winners are also eligible to receive up to $2,500 towards the production of their Culture Days event. The deadline to apply is April 13. Visit www.bc.culturedays. ca to find out more.

Bayside Shark Ben Bradley tangles with two United Rugby Club players during a men’s Division 1 rugby game at South Surrey Athletic Park earlier this season.

Men’s Div. 1 rugby side to hit pitch Saturday

Sharks look to rebound Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Bayside Sharks will look to get back into the win column this weekend, after back-to-back losses to Abbotsford have dropped their record to below .500. The Sharks currently sit fourth in the B.C. Rugby Union Division 1 standings with a 6-8 won-loss record. The two recent losses to their Abby rivals – by scores of 49-0 and 41-0 – have made qualifying for the postseason something of a longshot, but Bayside head coach Brad Edmondson still wants his team to finish the spring season on a high note. “It’s possible, but unlikely, that we’ll make the playoffs. We have to catch Abbotsford and they’re going to continue to get points,” he said. “But a realistic goal for us is to hold onto fourth place, and get back above .500.” The team has four games remaining, including one Saturday against United Rugby Club, a team the Sharks beat twice before Christmas. “We’d like to take three of the next four, at least,” Edmondson said. A win this weekend would also help the young squad get back onto the right path after failing to score a single point in two

straight games against Abbotsford. “They just put it to us in both those games,” Edmondson said. “We’re still a very

young team, and they’re just a level above us physically. They grow some big farm boys out there in Abby, and their program has a lot of

Driveway’s Alexandra Straub will pilot an all-electric Nissan LEAF in the annual AJAC Eco-Run next week. The all-electric sedan, which is also the prize car provided by the Scrap-It program for our Plug-In to Win contest, will glide silently from the Vancouver International Auto Show in downtown Vancouver next Wednesday. The route, devised by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada, will then take the participating 19 eco-friendly vehicles to Victoria via the Nanaimo ferry. On Thursday, the vehicles will be put through their paces on a handling course in Langford to see how versatile they are. The EcoRun concludes that evening in Vancouver. In addition to pure electric vehicles, the Eco-Run

includes plug-in and conventional hybrids, as well as vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells, diesel-fuelled powertrains and highly efficient gasoline options. There’s no limit to the size of vehicle showcased, as they range from subcompacts to pickup trucks. The participants include the 2015 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell, 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel, 2015 Kia Soul EV, 2015 Ford Focus 1.0-litre, 2015 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid and the 2015 Chevy Volt. The purpose of the event is to inform consumers of these alternative options. These new vehicles are driven in real-world road conditions in order to fully test for fuel efficiency and the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.

Several new crossovers will be featured at this year’s Vancouver auto show. Honda recently revealed for the first time at the Chicago and Toronto auto shows, the all-new Pilot. Gone is the boxy three-row vehicle, replaced by a sleeker, more stylish design. Now equipped with LED headlights and LED daytime running lights, along with available 20-inch wheels and panoramic sunroof, this is a modern take on family hauling. The Pilot is powered by a 3.5L V6 engine, matched to a six-speed automatic transmission or an optional nine-speed unit. This new model will be sold with front or all wheel drive and because it is 135kg lighter than the last model it should be more efficient. Mercedes is renaming the M-Class as the GLE. GL refers to an SUV/Crossover and the E is the “E-Class of SUVs”. To confuse things a bit more, the first debut is the GLE Coupe, a sportier coupe-like SUV designed to compete with the BMW X6. This Mercedes, with its sleeker silhouette and powerful 262-hp biturbo V6, looks great. It will range from comfort to all-out performance. The Acura RDX has been a big hit for this premium brand. Based on the everpopular Honda CR-V, this Acura is filled with lots of luxury touches for a modest price. The 2016 RDX showcases the latest look of the Acura family. The dual LED headlamps and improved interior design, including two screens in the centre of the dash, puts the RDX in line with the new TLX and recent MDX. Good news is that the trusty V6 engine will stay for 2016. Hyundai has announced that they it will start leasing Hydrogen Fuel Cell Tucson SUVs to Canadians this year, with the Vancouver area being the first market to receive these world-class vehicles. This is an electric SUV but instead of getting electricity from the grid it is produced using an onboard hydrogen fuel cell. The owner fills the fuel tank with hydrogen, not gasoline, and drives normally. The fuel cell Tucson can go 420 kilometres on one tank of fuel, a range about which electric car manufacturers can only dream. Ford has one of the best selling SUVs of all time in the Explorer, with more than 350,000 sold in Canada so far. The all-new 2016 version made available a 2.3L EcoBoost engine on the base and XLT trim. The 290hp 3.5L V6 engine is carried over but the Sport trim and new Platinum trim will be fitted with the 365hp Ecoboost V6. The new Platinum model will be fitted with real

OBITUARIES

CAMPBELL, Jean Anita June 4, 1917 - March 6, 2015 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our dear mother. Jean passed away peacefully at the age of 97 at Jackman Manor in Aldergrove BC with her loving daughter at her side. Jean was born in Vancouver, BC where she met and married her husband, Capt. Stan Campbell. They moved to White Rock from Vancouver in 1950 with their two young children, Anita (Hyndman) and Stan Jr. Our mother will be remembered for her kindness, her willingness to help others, and her incredible positive attitude. She brightened the lives of all she met. Mother made being a family fun, through good an not so good times, she was an artist, a poet, a role model and mentor, a best friend, but the most special thing was that she was our mother. After the passing of her husband in 1979, Jean spent much of her time caring for and entertaining her three grandchildren and six great grandchildren. She never missed a ball game, a school play, a dance event or Christmas concert, she was always there and will always be in the front row of our memories. Jean will be deeply missed by all. Her memories will live with her family forever. A special thanks to the staff at Jackman Manor for their loving care.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mom, Dorothy on Sunday, March 15th, 2015 at the age of 83.

Born in Bracken, Saskatchewan, he spent his early years there prior to the family moving west, finally settling in Vancouver. Taking his first real job with the Rock City Tobacco Company in 1955, Ed worked throughout the province which ultimately lead to meeting his future wife Doreen. They married in 1958, moved to Dawson Creek in the early 60’s before settling in White Rock on Coldicutt Ave in 1966... staying in the same house for 49 years. He was an exceptional fastball pitcher, bowler, pool shark and enjoyed fishing and hunting in his younger years.
