Rising policing costs add to delay of city operating budget

Uncharted territory for Surrey tax hike Kevin Diakiw Black Press

The cost of a big-ticket municipal election promise for policing in Surrey is proving to be a crushing financial burden, as the city wrangles with how to balance next year’s budget. In the 2014 election campaign, Surrey First – which won every seat on council – promised 100 more police officers this year. The city budgeted for them to arrive last

month, and 2016 will be the first full year in which taxpayers will have to pay for the $15-million pledge. Normally, the municipal budget – in its entirety – is calculated each November. This year, because of delays in home valuation from the B.C. Assessment Authority and the burden of the added policing costs, Surrey has postponed consideration of the operating budget until Feb. 15, 2016.

Black Press has learned property taxes will be increasing, but at this point, no one knows by how much. On Nov. 23, Surrey’s finance committee will consider utility costs and other fees. Utilities, including garbage, sewer and water, will increase by $27.50 per home – half of which is a result of Metro Vancouver increases. The new $100 recreation and culture levy

announced weeks after the election in 2014 will remain in place next year, and the road levy will increase by one per cent as forecast in the city’s last five-year plan. The road levy was introduced in 2007 as a temporary five-year measure. The city now plans to continue it for at least another six to 12 years. It amounts to $110 for the average home in Surrey valued at $671,000. i see page 8

Ashley Macdonald hopes that sharing her struggles with anxiety will give hope to youth and families who are dealing with mental-health issues.

Action team unites parents, educators and health experts to assist struggling students

Growing anxiety over youth stress Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Ashley Macdonald knows her story may be difficult for people to hear, and understand – at rock-bottom, she was cutting herself on a daily basis to cope with her anxiety. But there’s a reason she’s sharing the details. “I just want to get my voice heard and I want to spread some hope for other people, stop the stigma,” Macdonald said. “By standing up there and talking about it… that breaks that stigma.” Macdonald, a White Rock resident, got

involved with a 60-plus member local action team of the Child and Youth Mental Health and Substance Use Collaborative shortly after it formed in May, and will share her story at an event Nov. 17 at White Rock Elementary focused on youth and mental illness. The speaker series – a suicide-prevention forum was held at Elgin Park Secondary in August and a resource night is set for Nov. 25 at Earl Marriott – is among the team’s efforts to address gaps in timely, co-ordinated access to mental-health services for children and youth.

At 19, Macdonald knows the need firsthand. She started experiencing anxiety when she was in Grade 7, but it hit hardest in Grade 10, triggering an eating disorder and pattern of self-harm that landed her in and out of hospital – mostly in – for two years. In school, it was almost routine for Macdonald to be removed from class for her behaviour; behaviour she says was a cry for help that authority figures didn’t recognize or know how to deal with. i see page 4

Education assured by district staff

Schools set for 500-plus Syrian refugees Sheila Reynolds Black Press

The Surrey School District is anticipating 500 or more new students will enter local classrooms as an influx of Syrian refugees come to B.C. in the coming weeks. Surrey is expected to be the number-one destination for refugees coming to the Metro Vancouver area. About 3,000 are expected by the end of the year, with approximately onethird predicted to reside in Surrey. District communications manager Doug Strachan said its Welcome Centre has been examining since the federal election the logistics of taking in so many new students.

“We’ve been doing the best we can, but it has been difficult without having solid details,” he said. “We’re prepared, however, we need resources given the volume we expect.” For six years, Welcome Centre staff have helped immigrant and refugee families. Strachan said more language and assessment specialists will be necessary. As well, transportation costs could be an issue if families don’t find homes near schools that have space. “We’re a pretty full school district, but we do have schools that can accommodate more students, so it’s a matter of where the families are located and settled,” he said. “We will ensure that the students can get an education.”

As reported last week, there are major space constraints in three areas of Surrey – Clayton, South Newton and Grandview. Elsewhere, there are available classroom spots. With an overall enrolment of 70,000, bringing in 500 more teens and young children is “something we can manage,” Strachan assured. It’s by far the largest influx of refugees the Surrey School District has had to manage. In the past – such as when refugees were fleeing Burma’s civil war about seven years ago – the district welcomed 60-80 at one time. “Some of this will have to play out,” said Strachan when asked if more teachers would be required. “Our main focus right now is

getting them settled and into the schools.” District officials will meet next week with various agencies and government representatives to get further details and solidify plans. The success stories of past refugees who have made their way through Surrey schools will motivate district staff during what could prove a challenging transition, Strachan said. “What they’ve lived through is just incredible, and you see them blossom athletically, academically, and really contribute.” Apart from the influx of refugees, nearly four times the number of expected new students flowed into Surrey schools this fall – most of the 950 at the elementary level.

Killer to be sentenced

‘No fixing what I did’ Tracy Holmes & Alex Browne Staff Reporters

Two years after the death of South Surrey’s Corey Bennett, the man responsible described the act as something he still can’t make sense of, and can never fix. “I fully am disgusted in myself,” Donald James Chad Jr. told Judge James Jardine during his sentencing hearing Tuesday in Surrey Provincial Court. “I took someone’s dad, someone’s brother. Parents had to bury their son because of me. There is no fixing what I did.” Chad, 32, was one of two men arrested in connection with the Nov. 9, 2013 shooting death of 44-year-old Bennett at a home in the 2600-block of King George Boulevard. Initially facing trial for murder, Chad pleaded guilty in August to manslaughter. Tuesday, defense counsel Kelly Merrigan argued Chad’s Corey Bennett guilty plea victim should be a mitigating factor in determining sentence, noting a trial would have been harder on Bennett’s family – and would likely not have ended in a conviction. “The witnesses are, themselves, deeply troubled people,” Merrigan said, referring to testimony heard

In an agreed statement of facts, the court heard that Bennett was living with his common-law spouse at the time, and that the house was a focal point for illicit drugs. Prosecutor Suzanne Elliott said Chad had made two visits to the home for such transactions prior to the night Bennett died. On the second, he had been ejected “at the request of Mr. Bennett.” On the night Bennett was killed, Chad returned at around 11 p.m. with two men and a loaded semi-

automatic rifle. Bennett was asleep downstairs, and Chad pushed past a woman who had come to buy drugs. He jumped on the bed, shouting and “poking Bennett with the rifle.” The gun went off during a struggle, Elliott said. Chad – who was under court order to not possess firearms – was arrested Nov. 22 and had large amounts of Canadian and Chinese currency and a prohibited .45-calibre Webley revolver, the court heard. Elliott noted that at that time, Chad already had “a lengthy and significant related record.” The lawyers agreed a 10-year sentence would be fitting. In reserving his decision, scheduled for Nov. 27, the judge said he needed time to weigh the submissions, which included details of Chad’s “chaotic childhood” with drug- and alcohol-addicted parents,

and victim-impact statements from four of Bennett’s family members. Carl Bennett, a South Surrey resident, said in a written statement that his son’s death “haunts me.” Bennett’s sister, Jamie England, told the court she lives with the repercussions of her brother’s death every day; fearing for his children and grandchildren and wondering “if he knew how much I loved him.” His uncle, Wayne Bennett, described his optimism that his nephew would turn his life around. “I have always believed that no matter how broken a life becomes, there is always a hope for rehabilitation,” he said. “Unfortunately for Corey, that hope has been tragically snatched away.” Merrigan said that while the crime cannot be understated, there is hope for his client, whose struggles are rooted in drug addiction.

“Given a different start in life, I think he would’ve done very well,” Merrigan said, noting Chad has been working to advance his education in custody and remains hopeful he will be out of jail in time for his son’s graduation. In addressing the court, an emotional Chad said he wished he could undo what happened, but “I don’t dare ask forgiveness.” “I know I’m incapable of providing his family with closure, however, I don’t want my silence to prevent them from attaining any at all.” Outside court, Chad’s mother expressed regret for her son’s childhood, and hope for his future. “I was addicted to pills and I wasn’t always there for him,” Yvonne Kelly said. “Sorry I didn’t do a good enough job to raise him. “He’s not a hopeless case, and he’s not a violent person.”

panic attack, someone had said “let’s just breathe for now,” that would’ve helped a lot. White Rock Elementary principal Fran Fagan said recognizing that anxiety can be an issue at any age is an important part of steps being taken at her school. Efforts at Fagan’s school now include encouraging parents to walk at least part way to school with their child, to create a time for connecting; teaching deepbelly breathing; and starting the day with a moment of quiet. Students are also taught that the principal and vice-principal’s office is a safe place, Fagan said, pointing to books, stuffies and juice that she keeps on hand to soothe children who come to her. “I’ve had children come in, end up under my desk,” she said. “I leave them until they are ready.” Macdonald described the steps as “absolutely amazing” – polar opposite to what she experienced, but an encouraging sign. With an eye on a career in medicine, she wants others to know there is hope. “I will always be anxious about things for the rest of my life, but I’m learning how to handle that. It doesn’t define me,” she said.

When asked if the Epcor land at 1454 Oxford St. – where two highrises have been proposed – played a part in negotiations, Bottrill said the delay “has nothing to do with that, whatsoever.” City officials had been negotiating with Epcor for two years when council voted in June to expropriate the water utility. Two months later, the city announced a purchase agreement had been reached. Bottrill described the bi n d i ng - ar bit r at i on process as similar to expropriation, but without court involvement. There is no deadline in place for negotiations to be completed. “An arbitrated case will have the opportunity for both sides to present their case for the fair market value of this particular utility, and ultimately an arbitrator will make a determination of what the fair market value is,” Bottrill said.

Don’t assume you’ll be seen

e’ve all been there, driving down a poorly lit stretch of road in the pouring rain, desperately trying to make out the lane markers and trying to see past the windshield wipers screeching at full speed. All of a sudden a cyclist or another car veers into your lane, a pedestrian crosses in front of you, or your own vehicle begins to hydroplane out of control on a wet street. It’s a nightmare no motorist wants to experience, but unfortunately it leads to tragic results seen too often by first responders. Slowing down for poor road conditions may be logical, but it’s a strategy often forgotten by drivers anxious to reach their destination and surging forward at dangerous speeds. Between November and January, speedrelated crashes resulting in injuries or fatalities increase by more than 50 per cent across the province, according to ICBC. There are on average 250 crashes a month in those months. Driving too fast for the conditions is a major factor. It’s the time of year when the days get darker by the minute and the weather is a far cry from summer sunshine. During these winter months, many motorists find themselves spending more time behind the wheel after dark. Many, too, are more rushed, as the hustle and bustle of the holidays takes its toll. While it is crucial that motorists exercise more caution, pedestrians, cyclists and other road users share a responsibility to make themselves seen in the dark. Non-drivers may think they’re visible to motorists, but wearing reflective clothing, installing lights on a bike, or carrying a flashing light of some sort is the best way to help ensure you’ll be seen. The numbers are clear: motorists in general can see pedestrians and cyclists with reflective or flashing items from up to 500 feet away. Without such items – or worse, if you’re wearing dark clothing – that number drops down to 100 feet before most drivers have a chance of seeing you. To the joggers, walkers, cyclists and other road-users out there, don’t assume you’ll be seen. Leaving your safety to chance is not a risk anyone should take, at this time of year or any other.

question week

my shiny, new prize glittering in the cupholder of my truck, blinking incessantly – I began to feel a tinge of guilt. Here I was, feeling a strange sense of pride over out-hustling some other random schmuck to the mall, while just a few hours earlier, Remembrance Day ceremonies had been held across the country, honouring veterans who fought and died so that, a few generations later, I could have the privilege of buying some overpriced electronic device that’s probably going to be obsolete in a few months. And I didn’t do it on purpose, nor did I do it to justify my purchase or alleviate any guilt, but by chance, one of the first people I talked to on my new phone was my cousin, who is in the U.S. Navy. I’d sent him a Facebook message from my fancy new phone to catch up and see how he was spending his Veteran’s Day in the northeastern U.S. (He told me he’d been on an aircraft carrier earlier in the week, making my cellphone quest seem less-significant still). After sending a few messages back and forth, I then spent a good portion of the next hour fiddling with my new purchase – importing all my contacts, adjusting all the settings, making sure my ringtones were set perfectly. Then my new phone rang for the first time. Damned if it didn’t sound exactly like the old one. Nick Greenizan is a reporter at the Peace Arch News.

Public funds not a secret Editor: Re: Water info trickles in, Nov. 6. The City of White Rock cites a confidentiality of financial details regarding the purchase of Epcor. Why is it politicians seem to think they are entitled to spend taxpayers’ money entrusted to them but not be accountable for how they are spending it? Basic questions such as how much this was, how much has this deal cost and does this mean an increase in taxes or higher water bills should be answerable. Keeping information from the public should never be an issue in any deal involving taxpayers’ money. Don Enos, White Rock

problem right across Canada. You get much better perspectives if you look at the latest report published by OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) in 2011 about Canada’s standing in the top 20 developed countries around the world in terms of number of MRI units/million of their population: 1. Japan (46.9); 2. U.S. (31.5); 18. Turkey (10.5); 20. Canada (8.5).

MRI was first introduced in the early ’80s as a clinical diagnostic imaging modality as the modality of choice to detect any soft tissues problems in the body. By the early ’90s, doctors in Japan and the U.S. were finding out that X-rays and ultrasounds were showing nothing, while MRI exams started to look quite promising in showing soft tissues problems in the human body. So, health-care providers in

partnership with the referring physicians in Japan and the U.S. decided to leap-frog to ordering MRI exams. This led to public and health-care providers putting greater pressure on politicians to provide more MRI money and resources. It is obvious now in 2015 why Japan and the U.S. are #1 and #2 without any wait times, and Canada is last. Dr. Syed Haider, Pacific Rim Teleradiology Services, White Rock

Youth survey shows need Editor: Re: Half of Surrey’s youth happy to live here, Nov. 6. Many thanks to the SurreyCares Foundation for their Youth Vital Signs report. I’ve been teaching at Kwantlen for years, so it was no surprise to me that many respondents said more funding was needed for postsecondary education in Surrey. We’ve been shortchanged in this area for decades. As the Vital Signs report notes, for every 100 18- to 24-year-olds in our region, our local post-secondaries get funding for 12.7 seats – one-quarter of the 48.7 seats the rest of the province gets. If we really want the future to live here – if we really want a vital Surrey – we’ve got to fix this. Geoff Dean, Surrey

Residents rally at Surrey City Hall Nov. 2 to protest the expropriation of the privately owned Riverside Golf Centre.

Yet another swing and a miss Editor: Re: Riverside protesters teed off at city, Nov. 4. City councillors in Surrey must have very short memories, as it was barely a decade ago that they approved destruction of another nine-hole golf course. Despite the fact that thousands of new residents who would need recreational facilities were about to move into the area, that green-space golf course was destroyed to make way for one of those other essentials of modern life, a Wal-Mart. Despite presentations from the public running twoto-one against ‘development’ of that family-oriented facility – a nine-hole course, driving range and miniature golf – council members passed second and third readings, rubber-stamping and granting approval at two-something in the morning, while an audience of shocked citizens witnessed sheer arrogance. This looks like another of those wishes-of-the-peoplebe-damned situations. It sounds as though mayor and council have again got their minds made up, this time with humble-pie excuses offering the importance of “passive recreation” areas for the public. Do we really need another marshland to explore – especially when the Serpentine Fen is barely a kilometre down the road? Come on, Surrey, lame excuses aren’t good enough. What would be so terrible about preserving a facility that offers active-recreational exercise in a parklike setting? Reconsider this decision – or else figure out a way

you can find some land where you can build another comparable golf course for the people who live in Surrey’s south end. Heidi Greco, Surrey Q An open letter to Surrey council. I strongly disagree with the manner in which you are handling the expropriation of the Riverside Golf Centre in South Surrey. I also strongly oppose the rezoning of agricultural and green space land in the Little Campbell River watershed to build a large truck parking lot. In both cases, my wife, Meg, and I feel you have not only failed to consult with the local residents about your plan, but have violated the trust of your constituents in the area. Both of these parcels are a beautiful part of our community and offer value to thousands of local residents each year not to speak of vital wildlife habitat. We ask that you consult the community and hold round-table discussions on these proposed developments. We want to go on record as opposing both the expropriation and rezone, and plan to lend our voices by engaging our social networks, the media and community network on this if no sensible action is taken immediately. Do the right thing, not the expedient thing. Phil Watson, Surrey

Officer costs ‘not known last year’ i from page 1 The city will also be looking at a 3.9-per-cent increase in fees and charges, such as business licences and recreation centre fees. In Surrey’s previous five-year financial plan, council aimed to increase property taxes by 2.9 per cent this year. However, the mass hiring of police consumed that and then some, to the tune of just over three per cent, said Coun. Tom Gill, who chairs the city’s finance committee. “That’s probably the biggest item in terms of how we should move forward with the balance of the plan,” Gill said in an interview. Gill added it is not only the cost of obtaining new officers, but also increases in salaries, benefits and “other cost pressures” – such as accommodating the new police with office space – that is presenting a challenge this year. The RCMP received a 2.5-percent increase in pay this year, he said, and an increase in benefits

They wanted to pursue a peaceful life in Canada. If hard work would lead to prosperity, that would be a bonus – but just being in a place that was far from the boiling cauldron of instability and war was the priority. War also has been a strong motivator. When my father’s contemporaries returned to Surrey after the Second World War, they came back with a renewed sense of purpose. They started families, opened businesses, built community organizations and helped Surrey to grow and prosper. Most members of that generation are now gone, but their legacy remains. Those who are still among us deserve honour and gratitude, as do all the veterans of subsequent wars, including Korea, the peacekeeping missions that were often very challenging (Bosnia and Rwanda being two examples) and, most recently, Afghanistan. We’ve thought about their sacrifice this week, but let’s also be grateful for their legacy to us – in war and in peace.

fter a three-year hiatus, organizers behind the successful Nite of Hope breast-cancer fundraiser have two simple explanations for why they’re embarking on the next phase of their efforts: Breast cancer isn’t going away; and, it’s time. “We always knew we wanted to do something again… we just didn’t know what,” Debi Rumley, co-chair of the Nite of Hope team, said. “When I phoned the girls and hey, who’s interested, they were all, ‘we’re ready’.” Rumley, along with Lori Ishikawa and Tammy Ritchie, launched the local Nite of Hope Gala in 2006; an annual event they retired in 2012, after raising $1.4 million for breast

of the home tour. It was an easy cause to support, she said. “I painted this room pink because of it,” she said, glancing around the formerly tan-walled, south-facing lower level of her home. For the tour, her home will have a ‘Christmas Magic’ theme; described on the event website as “where nostalgia meets magic wrapped up in an eclectic bow.” (Tea towels and aprons bearing Strangway’s whimsical ‘pink ladies’ will be sold as part of the fundraising effort.) The other participating homes are dubbed Luxe Lodge, showcasing “a unique rustic Christmas in Morgan Creek”; Oceans Gift, a “seaside retreat that inspires us to romance our home and embrace our style”; West Coast Christmas, a “good old-fashioned traditional West

Coast Christmas”; La Provence by the Sea, a “French-inspired holiday chateau wrapped in tradition”; and Forest with a View, “an enchanted mix of wood and water.” Scholten, who took on her role with the foundation three months ago, described the tour idea and the enthusiasm of the organizers as “so terrific.” Fascinated by Rumley’s tales of the community’s support during the gala’s run, she is optimistic the tour will be well-received.

Anyone who has adopted animals from the society in the past six decades is invited to post a photo of themselves with their pet (or of the pet on its own) on the BC SPCA Facebook page. The post is an automatic entry into the contest, and a chance to win an iPad Air donated by Telus. Lorie Chortyk, the society’s manager of communications, said the society will adopt out its one millionth pet this month. “We are very excited that we will be adopting out our one millionth animal this month, but we also want to recognize and honour the 999,999 other people who provided wonderful, loving homes for the animals we’ve rescued over the past decades,” Chortyk said in a release, noting hundreds more animals continue to await adoption in the province. Entries in the photo contest will be accepted through Nov. 20 at www.facebook.com/ bcspca

APPLICATION FOR PESTICIDE USE

Canada and there are many documented reports of them being extremely violent. Girls are often used to hold and/or transport drugs and/or guns because the girls and the gangsters don’t think that the police will stop the girl…they are wrong.

Application #15460-07/PUP-MOE-16-19

Brianna Kinnear’s mother, along with her daughter’s dog Ferdinand, sit on a memorial bench dedicated to her daughter’s brutal gang murder in 2009.

The purpose of the pesticide use is to eradicate invasive intertidal cordgrasses (Spartina spp.) which are designated as provincial noxious weeds under B.C.’s Weed Control Act. Treatment areas will be restricted to infestations of Spartina on cobble beaches, salt marshes and intertidal mudﬂats (at low tide) located in Boundary Bay, Robert’s Bank and Burrard Inlet, but treatment may expand over the course of the permit period to include sites at Sturgeon Banks and on the central east coast of Vancouver Island, including Comox, Courtenay, Deep Bay, Denman Island, Hornby Island and Sea Island.

Brianna’s murder remains unsolved.

Run honours fallen officer Members of the RCMP are inviting the public to join them Saturday, Nov. 14 at 11 a.m. at Deer Lake Park in Burnaby for the annual Adrian Oliver Memorial Run. This year’s event will feature a five- or 10-km run, followed by a barbecue, silent auction and 50/50 draw. In November 2012, Surrey RCMP Const. Adrian Oliver was involved in a motor vehicle collision that took his life. Members of the Oliver family, including his father – who is also a member of the RCMP – travelled across country to be with their friends and family to remember their son, brother, grandson and friend. While in Vancouver, the Oliver family were welcomed by Honour House. Honour House, located in New Westminster, is a home away from home and a place for recovery for Emergency Services personnel, Canadian Forces members, veterans and their families, where they can stay free of charge while in the Vancouver area to receive medical treatment. In November 2013, Honour House, in partnership with the Burnaby RCMP and Oliver’s family and friends, launched the first annual Adrian Oliver Memorial Run to recognize not only Oliver, but all heroes who give their lives while serving their communities and country. “Those who knew Adrian, knew he loved being a Mountie, not only for the excitement, but because he wanted to give back and make a difference,” said Joe Oliver, Adrian’s father. “I can think of no better way for Adrian’s legacy to live on than to support Honour House through his Memorial Run.” For more information about Honour House or to register for the Adrian Oliver Memorial run, visit www.honourhouse.ca –Black Press

Realtors’ annual blanket drive kicks off this week

The drive for winter warmth Local realtors are asking for warm hearts – and warm clothing – for the 21st-annual Realtors Care Blanket Drive, which kicks off this week. The blanket drive, which runs from Nov. 16-23, annually assists more than 19,000 people in need – they collected 672 bags of warm winter clothing and blankets just in Surrey last year. “Every community in the Lower Mainland relies on donations from the program and we need the public’s support once again to ensure we can meet this year’s need,” said Darcy McLeod, president of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV). The event is a combined effort by the REBGV, the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB and the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board. This year, the drive in Surrey will support five local organizations, which have specific needs: • Surrey Memorial Hospital: Men’s and women’s coats; • The Great Helping Hand Society: Warm clothing and blankets; • Hyland House: Coats, blankets, and new socks and underwear; • NightShift Street Ministries:

Road pricing can relieve congestion: economists

Harmonize tolls, report urges Jeff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouver’s bridge and tunnel traffic pinch points should all be tolled as part of a road-pricing pilot project to battle worsening congestion. Harmonized bridge tolling here is one of the proposals on the potential for congestion pricing outlined in a new report by Canada’s Ecofiscal Commission, a think-tank of economists. It provides more

high demand that is overused if it’s free, and is conserved and used more efficiently when there’s a charge. “Governments have been trying lots of things and for the most part they haven’t been working,” said commission chair Chris Ragan, a McGill University economist. “Our congestion is getting worse as our cities grow. So we think it’s time to try a different solution and one for which there’s growing evidence that it actually works.” Ragan visited Vancouver earlie r this month and spent an hour and 45 minutes going to Surrey in rush hour via the free Pattullo Bridge and then just 25 minutes back again via the tolled Port Mann Bridge. He said the clogged conditions on the Pattullo and its approaches stem from the decision to toll the Port Mann Bridge without a co-ordinated approach at other crossings. “You want to not just toll one bridge, you want to toll the set of

bridges,” he said. He said that change would eliminate the problem of drivers going out of their way to get to an untolled bridge and in the process adding to traffic congestion. “We’ve seen tolls work to reduce congestion on bridges like the Port Mann. But a single toll bridge can push traffic elsewhere.” Adding tolls to the free crossings would encourage some drivers to travel a little earlier, or later, switch to transit, or perhaps work from home some of the time, he said, resulting in much less congested conditions at peak hours for drivers who opt to pay the tolls. “The fundamental problem with road congestion is not that there are too many cars. The problem is there are too many cars on a particular road at a particular time.” Ragan suggests tolls vary depending on the time of day and the intensity of congestion. “At 2 in the morning your toll might be zero because the road is empty. But at 6 p.m. that is peak time and that is when you actually pay a toll.” The commission’s proposal for bridge tolling is based strictly on delivering relief from congestion, not as a method to raise more revenue for transit or to replace existing bridges. It says the revenue could be used to reduce existing fuel taxes.

James Kemp to be featured in Eastside Culture Crawl this month

Artist finding success by pushing limits Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

White Rock ceramic artist is one of those highlighted in this year’s 19th annual Eastside Culture Crawl, which will open a door to studios, homes and garages – wherever art is made – from Nov. 19 to 22. James Kemp, an Elgin Park Secondary grad (class of 2000) will be opening his space at Vancouver’s Acme Studio at Hastings Street and Columbia Avenue to public scrutiny, showing not only his conceptual sculptural pieces (as highlighted by his Morphology series) but also a range of functional – and more affordable – ceramic ware. Known for using odd and unexpected materials in his work, Kemp – currently represented by Vancouver’s Robert Lynds Gallery in False Creek – is making an international name for himself as an experimentalist artist pushing the limits of conventional ceramics work. That’s especially true with his larger, unusuallytextured and thoughtprovoking pieces such as James Kemp the Morphology series – showcased at the Museum of Modern Ceramic Art at Gifu, Japan in which rounded organic-seeming forms are contrasted with more geometric shapes redolent of twisting staircases. “They definitely ‘get’ this kind of work in Japan – they’re more open to mixed media in ceramics than here and also in the States,” said Kemp who also recently had a year-long stint as an artist-in-residence at Port Moody Arts Centre. “Depending on what people are more accepting of, predetermines where I can send my work. I’m still working around restrictions.” Driftwood, styrofoam, nylon, Plexiglas, steel and concrete have all played a part in his works, he acknowledges, challenging conventional definitions of ceramic practice. Born in Etobicoke, Ont., he came to White Rock as a toddler of three-and-a-half. With parents both in the teaching profession, Kemp, who attended Crescent Park, Sunnyside and Chantrell Creek elementaries, was a surprisingly late arrival to the ranks of career artists. “When I was in high school at Elgin I spent most of my time at home either drawing or playing basketball,” he admitted. “I really

There was an ‘aha’ moment for him in the course, he recalled. “I was working on this piece at home – a self-portrait with a bird flying out of me – and when I brought it to school the teacher thought I’d cast my face. “It was kind of a compliment, really that he thought I’d cast my face instead of sculpting it. I knew right then that I loved doing the work, and that I definitely had some kind of natural ability at it.”

Kemp did finish his bachelors psychology degree, but moved on to take a BFA at Emily Carr with the urging of his Kwantlen professor, Kent Anderson. He acknowledges he chafed a little at the strictures of the curriculum while finding his own individual mode of expression. “It was in my last year at Emily Carr that I hit the nail on the head,” he said. “I got tired of the constraints and did what I wanted to do – exhaustion gave me the courage.” Six years ago he joined the Fraser Valley Potters Guild, winning People’s Choice and Best Amateur Ceramic Artist honours in group shows. Subsequently he continued his training at community centres, and working as an apprentice with artists David Robinson and Liz Magor. Kemp said that he likes working with pieces – as in the Morphology series – that may use unnatural, man-made elements such as styrofoam and steel and yet create from them natural-seeming shapes and textures.

For him, he said, it’s part of a fascination with a “false dichotomy in which the human seems separate from nature.” “And yet we are nature,” he said, adding that pervasive conditioning to desire manufactured goods is “a major culprit in the destruction of our ecosystem.” The aesthetic seeds of such work, however, he traces to discovering a piece of metal as a boy, while walking on the beach from White Rock to Crescent Beach. “Somebody must have been pouring metal on the beach and it had taken on the undulating, pitted, natural texture of the sand. Half-an-hour’s walk away I found another similar piece and it was only much later that I found out that both pieces fitted together. “For me, it was ‘how can I create this texture?’” he said.

Seasonal symphony sounds Christmas is just around the corner, and Surrey Symphony Society will celebrate the sounds of the season in their own joyous style – through performances by more than 100 youth musicians, members of the Surrey Junior Strings, Intermediate Orchestra and Youth Orchestra. The concert, Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. at Chandos Pattison Auditorium, 10238 168 St., includes Beethoven’s exuberant Symphony No. 7 , performed by the full Surrey Youth Orchestra under the direction of Joel Stobbe.

Surrey Symphony Society’s Junior Strings perform last year. The Intermediate Orchestra, directed by Ben Goheen, will play selections from Corelli’s Christmas Concerto, as well as

the Egmont Overture and the holiday favourite All I Want For Christmas. The Junior Strings, led by Andrea Taylor, will perform the first movement of Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, plus Rondeau by Jean-Joseph Mouret (theme of PBS’ Masterpiece Theatre) and Brahms’ lively Hungarian Dance No. 5. Tickets ($18, $12 students, seniors and alumni) are available at gm.surreysymphony@ gmail.com or at the door (cash, cheque or credit cards accepted).

The King, other rock greats coming to White Rock Alex Browne Arts Reporter

It’s billed as An Evening With Elvis – but there will be a few other musical personalities from the

past in there as well. That’s courtesy of Chilliwack’s Steve Elliott, an experienced tribute artist whose salute to ‘The King of Rock N’ Roll’ will

be showcased by the Rotary Club of White Rock, Friday, Nov. 20 at 8 p.m. at Peace Portal Alliance Church, 15128 27B Ave. Surrey. Club president

Richard Stott said fans of ’50s and ’60s music shouldn’t be surprised to hear a few other familiar star voices woven into the show. “In addition to doing

a wonderful job as Elvis Presley, he also does a really amazing Roy Orbison and a great Johnny Cash and Louis ‘Satchmo’ Armstrong,” Stott said.

They’re all the same low deep voices he can pick up on – it just gives you shivers to hear him. “He also does an amazing Ed Sullivan – in fact he introduces

himself as Elvis and some of the other stars,” he added. There are other dimension to the show, Stott said. “To change up his usual routine and schtick, and because we’re so close to Christmas, Steve’s going to be doing a whole bunch of Christmas carols Elvis-style – Elvis did tons and tons of gospel music. He actually got more awards from that than any other kind of music, and this will be a great way to ease into the Christmas spirit.” The material also suits the new venue of Peace Portal Alliance (the club’s previous tribute shows this year have been at Coast Capital Playhouse). “Coast Capital only seats 200, while we could print 500 tickets at Peace Portal Alliance,” he said. “The church is all in favour of it – we’ll probably be bringing some people into the church who have never been there before!” Stott noted the church has recently installed a 22-metre projection screen, and the club has arranged for the show to be videoed and projected live on the screen throughout the concert. Wheelchair-accessible seating will be available and the club has also created a ‘will call’ table for the event, which means that people will be able to pick up reserved tickets on the night. Another bonus will be a collection of pristine-condition Elvis memorabilia books for sale at bargain prices at the event – thanks to an anonymous donor who dropped a wonderful collection of at White Rock Rotary’s book sale bin. Proceeds from ticket and book sales will go directly back into the community through White Rock Rotary projects, Stott added. The show will also employ the church’s state of the art lighting and Elliott’s own custom sound system – and the church is also allowing an area for patrons to dance to the music, Stott said.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Matt Phillips continues long football career at EMS

Lifetime on the sidelines Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

ne day, Earl Marriott Secondary football coach Michael MackayDunn might finally let it go. Let go of the call that saw his high-school football career end with a two-point loss instead of a spot in the provincial highschool championship game. Let go of the friendly grudge he holds against the official who blew that whistle on a play now decades old. Yes, one day he might let it go. Today is not that day. Mackay-Dunn, the 63-year-old coach of the Earl Marriott Mariners’ football program, is sitting in his classroom, detailing for a listener exactly what happened all those years ago. It was the 1969 provincial semifinals, and Vancouver College – Mackay-Dunn’s school – trailed Maple Ridge 16-14 late in the fourth quarter. Maple Ridge kicked the ball off, and Vancouver’s returner caught it and Michael Mackay-Dunn weaved up field, eluding tacklers en route to what head coach would have been a gamewinning touchdown. “We ran a reverse – the same kind of return we run here now (at EMS) – and our guy went all the way. I was about 30 yards away from the ball and some guy hit me from behind, but I got called for roughing. “The play got called back, and we lost by two. I’m still trying to figure it out.” The official who made the call was Matt Phillips, a South Surrey resident who now, at 83, stands next to Mackay-Dunn on the Earl Marriott sidelines as a volunteer assistant coach, the latest coaching stop for the well-travelled football lifer who has been involved in the game for so long – as a coach and official – that his bio on the B.C. Football Officials Association states that

Matt Phillips – a longtime football coach and official – has been on the sidelines with Earl Marriott’s team this season. Left, Phillips gives his players a pep talk before a game.

“Matt, seemingly, has coached football in B.C. forever.” “That call is still clear as a bell. I’ll never forget it. That was my last high-school game,” Mackay-Dunn continues, with a laugh. “But I don’t bug him about it too much anymore.” Phillips, who lives just a short drive from school, is in his first year as a coach with the Mariners, volunteering to come aboard this summer after spending much of the

last season watching the team’s home games from the bleachers. “Afterward, he’d call me up and give me his observations and thoughts, whether I wanted the information or not,” Mackay-Dunn laughed. “But he’s been great to have on our staff. He’s an excellent coach, and he’s a great backboard to bounce ideas off of, and you find yourself having some great discussions about football.” Phillips’ official title with the program is special-teams coach, and when asked, tends to downplay his contributions to the team, which plays in B.C.’s AA Tier 2 conference and is currently in first place. “I don’t do much, and I try not to butt in too much with what the other coaches are doing, but I think I can help,” he said. “I’m not here because I’m a pretty face – there’s never a situation we run into during a game that I haven’t seen before,

somewhere.” Phillips, who was born in New Westminster, has been around the game since the 1940s, when he took up the sport as a high schooler at Toronto’s Upper Canada College – the private boarding school he was sent to after, in his own words, “I got into a very comfortable groove doing as little as possible.” From there, Phillips moved on to college, playing at George Pepperdine College in Los Angeles – now known as Pepperdine University – where he also got his degree in physical education. Before turning to coaching, Phillips had a short playing career – “If you can call it that,” he quipped – in the Canadian Football League, as a tackle with the BC Lions. But the experience was marred by injuries. After knee surgery in June 1957, Phillips i see page 28

of an EMS practice last week. “I lost count, but it’s at least 52 years of coaching.” Phillips says the game today is almost unrecognizable from the one he grew up with – the players are bigger, faster and stronger, and the game plans are much more advanced. “In the ’60s, we’d just get the ball in the middle of the field and bash away at each other,” he said. “We are doing things in Grade 8 now that we would’ve maybe, maybe, thought about doing at the senior level back then.” But though the game has changed on the field, his love for the sport has never wavered – it’s why he continues to volunteer his time coaching athletes who are young enough to be his great-grandchildren. “I think kids can learn a lot about life from athletics… and I can still relate to the kids. The ones I can’t relate to are the ones who don’t want to work hard, who don’t want to listen,” he explained. “Coaching does takes a lot of time and effort, but it keeps you out of trouble.” Mackay-Dunn finds an even simpler way to explain his colleague’s continued dedication to local football. “This is who he is.” Phillips, meanwhile, said he’ll be happy to stay on the sidelines as long as the team will have him – even if a 46-year-old roughing call is brought up from time to time. “I can’t remember now exactly what Mike did wrong, but I’m sure I was right to call him on it.”

Alice loved adventure, she traveled extensively, she was a selftaught piano player and loved to sing, but her biggest passion was teaching, she taught at Elgin, the last one room school in Surrey from 1962-1984, she loved to share her fond memories of all the children that passed through her classroom. She lived in Crescent Beach from 1958-1985. Our mother will be missed by all that knew her. A Funeral Service will be held at 1:00pm on Saturday, November 14th at Woodlawn Mt.
