Peace Arch Hospital fill-in shift ‘just about made me weep’

Crisis at the ER, says returning surgeon Alex Browne Staff Reporter

A retired general surgeon and former chief of staff at Peace Arch Hospital has slammed overcrowding of the emergency department there early this month as the worst he's seen locally – and worse than at comparable facilities across Canada. Dr. Ray Dykstra, who was a consultant surgeon at the hospital for some 26 years

until he retired two years ago to do 'locum' replacement work across the country, said a fill-in stint Jan. 1-3 at the hospital "just about made me weep." "There were beds in every hallway; people who had no privacy whatsoever," he said. Dykstra, who formerly served as chief of surgery at Peace Arch and head of the South Fraser Health Region – as well as holding executive positions with the BC Medi-

cal Association and other Canadian health organizations – said that over the last two years he has done locums from Newfoundland to Port Alberni and Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. "I've worked in hospitals in all of the health care districts in B.C. – all around Peace Arch Hospital's size or a bit smaller." But he said the overcrowding of emergency at Peace Arch in the first few days of 2011

was intolerable. "The congestion in emergency is second to none – not by a little bit, but by a huge amount," he charged. "It is so disheartening for myself, who gave so much of my life to the institution, to see. It's not a new (situation), but it's the worst I've ever seen it." PAH executive director Susan Brown said she is not aware of any specific reason for a � see page 4

Armed home invasion leads to two in custody Brian Giebelhaus photo

Investigators survey the area Thursday.

Two men are in custody in connection with an early-morning armed home invasion in South Surrey. Police were dispatched to a rancher at the end of a cul-de-sac in the 17300-block of 31 Avenue just before 2 a.m. Thursday, after a resident called 911 to report a crime in progress. A Surrey RCMP spokesperson said officers responding to the scene reported observing

a suspect with a handgun. The Emergency Response Team was called out, as was a dog team. Police say two suspects were apprehended fleeing the residence. They could not confirm if a gun was recovered from the scene. A 32-year-old man and a 20-year-old man – both from the Kelowna/Kamloops area – remain in custody. Police described one of the suspects as a “prolific offender” with

“quite a lengthy property-crime record.” Their names have not been released. Police say the resident, a 33-year-old man, was not injured in the incident. Officers with Surrey RCMP’s serious crimes unit are investigating. Still on the scene at mid-day Thursday, they were seen canvassing area residents and searching adjoining properties. – Tracy Holmes

...and frankly a y

means that cities are divided up into smaller areas for voting and representation purposes. The great advantage of the ward system for voters is that there are far fewer names on the ballot. Instead of poring over a list of 30 to 40 people running for eight seats on council, there would likely be a list of about six people seeking one council position in a specific ward. It would be much easier for voters to research the candidates if there are six to choose from, instead of 40. It would also give candidates who are not incumbents a better chance at winning a seat, as it would be far less costly to mount a campaign and much easier for candidates to meet face-to-face with potential voters. Surrey has eight councillors elected at large in a city that is almost three times the size of Burlington. The cost of mounting a campaign and connecting with potential voters is astronomical, and it must be recognized that this type of voting system does not empower voters. If more people are engaged in the voting process, it is quite likely they will be more engaged in the general affairs of the city. A more-involved community is a better place to live in, by many measures. Surrey needs to consider the pros and cons of web- and telephone-based voting systems – and also consider other ways to boost voter turnout. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for the Peace Arch News.

Sign bylaw brings ‘clarity and consistency’ White Rock’s sign bylaw came one step closer to official this week, when it received first, second and third reading at city hall Monday. Councillors unanimously supported moving the bylaw forward, with one amendment – a reduction on the allowed width of sandwich boards. “I think that’s a bit wide,” Coun. Grant Meyer said of the signs’ proposed one-square-metre maximum area. Meyer suggested setting the maximum width to match that allowed for free-standing portable signs, at 0.61 metres. Fellow councillors backed the move following assurances from Paul Stanton, the city’s director of planning and development services, that the change could be made “quite easily.”

The new bylaw includes provisions for prohibited signs, regulations for new signs not in the existing bylaw and an updated fee schedule. Its adoption “would bring clarity and consistency to signage in White Rock,” and help the city revitalize its commercial areas, Stanton writes in a report. A legal review was sought before the bylaw was drafted to allow sandwich board and free-standing portable signs in the public right-of-way. However, that is only the case when there is no opportunity to locate the signs on private lands. In those exceptions, the signs must not be a nuisance or hazard to the public, Stanton said. Stanton said the bylaw, with Meyer’s amendment, is expected to come back to council Jan. 24. – Tracy Holmes

White Rock council meets with city lawyer this week

Code of conduct deemed unenforceable Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock councillors are taking a closer look at the code of conduct governing their behaviour, following criticism the document is “meritless” and “unenforceable.” “Obviously, it has to be reviewed now. It has to be,” Coun. Al Campbell said this week. “We’re hearing now it’s flawed and it doesn’t carry any weight. “We’d be nervous to use it now.” Doubts about the code were raised during a recent inquiry into whether Mayor Catherine Ferguson’s comments to Peace Arch News last August over a discussion with a then-staff member constituted a breach of the seven-year-old document. Those doubts forced council to abort the inquiry before it could be concluded, and settle instead for a public statement expressing council’s view that Ferguson’s actions were inappropriate. Ferguson read aloud the resulting motion at Monday’s council

meeting, then defended her actions as being without malice and appropriate, given the information she had at the time. Aborting the inquiry was council’s only option after hearing a legal opinion from Ferguson’s lawyer, Coun. Doug McLean told Peace Arch News Wednesday. “If we had made that motion pursuant to the code of conduct, it would have gotten caught up in a whole bunch of procedural problems, from the standpoint of what the mayor’s lawyer had indicated,” McLean said. “Council still wanted to make a statement in regards to conduct, but it wasn’t to the code of conduct. It was pursuant to a motion of council.” In light of the uncertainty, a process “to see how we can put this code into place with all members of council agreeing to it” has begun, McLean said. Council was to meet with the city’s lawyer on the matter Thursday night, after PAN’s press deadline. At least one veteran councillor who was

involved in the code’s development is standing firmly behind it. “I’m going to stick to my guns that it’s a good paper, we’ve worked with it,” Coun. Mary-Wade Anderson said. “We can certainly look at it, but we looked at it and looked at it and looked at it before Catherine Ferguson mayor we put it in place. “We had lawyers vet our code of conduct and it was alright.” The existing code received majority support from sitting city councillors, including Anderson and McLean in December 2003, and was adopted the following month. PAN reported at the time that it was ordered following a bizarre pen-stabbing incident between then-councillors Margaret Woods and Cliff Annable. Woods cast the only opposing vote, which

was held just weeks before she was due in court to answer assault charges that arose from the incident with Annable. The code was designed to hold elected officials to higher standards. It covers “care and diligence” in performing council duties, relationships with the public, communications with media, confidentiality and compliance. Coun. Lynne Sinclair, in speaking to the motion Monday night, described it as “a sound guide for behaviour of council.” McLean, too, described the code as a good guideline for standards of behaviour. But, if not all of the city’s elected officials support it, that is a concern, he said. “I’m of the opinion this is a good code of conduct, from the standpoint of what it’s saying in principle,” McLean said. “We have to agree how we should behave within council. My concern is if we have a council that doesn’t.” Monday, a motion to repeal the code of conduct was not supported.

BC Liberal leadership contender meets with restaurateurs

Abbott campaigns on rival Falcon’s home turf Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Provincial Liberal leadership contender George Abbott made a lightning visit to the White Rock/South Surrey area this week, including calls on media and a meeting with local restaurant owners. Accompanied by supporters MLA Gordon Hogg (Surrey-White Rock) and former solicitor general Kash Heed (Vancouver-Fraserview), the Shuswap MLA took the meet-and-greets as an opportunity to present what he considers his core appeal – as a down-to-earth politician from a rural riding who is not afraid to go out and canvass opinion about government policy at a grassroots level. If chosen as Liberal leader and

premier next month, he said, his style would be to make a point of meeting and discussing issues with voters each month in different regions all around the province. Hence Tuesday’s meeting at Boston Pizza with some 35 restaurateurs, which Abbott said was an opportunity to hear feedback on his proposal to increase B.C.’s minimum wage – one of four main planks of his economic platform. “What I was hearing from them was that the great majority of their employees’ income comes from tips,” he said. “But I think that’s different, for instance, from people working at some of the fast-food outlets.” Talking to people and heeding what all sectors have to say, Abbott

said, is crucial if the Liberals are to regain the public trust they’ve lost over the past several years, particularly in the debacle around the introduction of the HST. “I feel that in the last couple of years we have lost a fundamental connection with the voters of the province. People have formed the conclusion that government has stopped listening to them.” Well aware he was on Liberal leadership hopeful Kevin Falcon’s home turf (the Surrey-Cloverdale MLA lives in Ocean Park), Abbott showed reluctance to launch any overt attacks on his rival. “Kevin is a great friend and colleague, and I have told him – as he has told me – that I would be honoured to serve in a government

he forms,” Abbott said. But he said he agreed with NDP insider David Schreck’s on-air analysis that an Abbott premiership would be the toughest for the NDP to beat in the 2013 B.C. elections – at least in part because fellow Liberal frontrunners Falcon and Christy Clark are seen

as polarizing politicians who, as premiers, could drive away ‘smallL’ liberal support in the province, tipping the balance for the NDP. “What do I bring that’s different? A record of public service representing the southern Interior established over 30 years, a record of honesty, straightforwardness and plain talk in stints in some of the most challenging ministries, including health, education and aboriginal relations and reconciliation.” ■ As Abbott announced Mary McNeil (Vancouver-False Creek) as his 16th supporter among BC Liberal MLAs Wednesday, Falcon counted senator and former Vancouver mayor Larry Campbell among his supporters.

Hospital ‘not dealing with growth’

� from page 1 spike in emergency cases on those days, but noted the hospital – like the 12 others in the Fraser Health region – will accept patients into emergency while assessing them for other care, rather than turning anybody away. "At this time of year, all hospitals have an increase in respiratory illnesses and flu-like illnesses. The staff and physicians do a wonderful job in accommodating all the patients we can… we have an extremely dedicated and passionate staff," she said. Dykstra emphasized his criticisms are not intended as an attack on PAH staff. "I have the highest respect for the doctors and nursing staff in emergency – I don't know how they do it, day in and day out.” Dykstra said it is clear from his most recent experience (he also did a locum at the hospital last May that revealed congestion) that the problem has not been addressed, in light of a growing population with a growing demand for hospital services. "Things have changed in the community, but the populationto-bed ratio has never been properly balanced." Brown said she could not provide specific statistics on whether the hospital has enough beds to meet overall patient demand. "Through the year there are obviously peaks and valleys of when services are required," she

said, noting the hospital is taking measures to take the pressure off emergency in light of increased demand in the winter months. "We've taken two initiatives to try to increase flow to inpatients and out to the community… We've purchased an additional 25 long-term care beds at Peace Portal Lodge." Brown said these beds provide ongoing care on a 24-hour basis, typically for elderly patients who do not require treatment in "medical" beds. And as of next week, PAH will have added a further 10 "medical" beds to accommodate respiratory and flu-like cases. Dykstra said he understands there are increasing demands for emergency services – possibly as high as 30 per cent of patients – from areas outside the hospital's traditional service area. Brown acknowledged all Fraser Health hospitals are facing increased demand. “Every health authority would like more health resources, but we have to be realistic about funding," she said. But Dykstra said he is sure the community must address expansion of the facility. "Just enlarging emergency isn't going to do any good. That's just like opening a larger funnel into a bottle. The hospital was built in the ’60s, and thank God members of the board at that time had the thoughtfulness to shell in the fifth and sixth floors. But

now the hospital needs to be bigger – it hasn't kept pace with the growth of the community." Dykstra said he can't understand why Peace Arch Hospital doesn't appear to be receiving the same funding support as other hospitals in B.C. and Canada. He theorizes the Peace Arch Hospital and Community Foundation – whose valuable work in raising money for capital items he recognizes – has created an unfortunate impression, on a provincial level, that the community will raise much of the money it needs for health care. "The generous people of White Rock and South Surrey are paying twice – they're paying taxes and then they're paying for stuff that should be paid for by taxes." But Brown said she sees no evidence that overall funding for PAH has been limited by the foundation's ability to raise money for other capital items. "Fraser Health works in partnership with the foundation – and we're extremely grateful for the work they do," she said. Dykstra said he acknowledges that hospital and health region administrators face a difficult job in assigning resources. "But they're essentially budget balancers. They're accountants. If they don't do it, their job is gone.” "Every time there's a new administrator – and it's quite the revolving door – they shuffle the chairs on the Titanic."

Every year people tell us how hard they try to get fit only to fail, the secret is “how” you do it. No matter what your resolution is these tips are sure to help. 1. Set realistic fitness goals. Set goals that are within your ability to achieve, if they are too big it will de-motivate you. 2. Be specific. Don't resolve to "get fit" or "lose weight"; that's too vague, be specific "Lose 10 lbs" or "Learn to run 5km’s” 3. Attach a destination. When you add a physical destination to your plan, you’ll make your exercising more enjoyable.

Peace Arch Hospital’s new maternity ward is complete. The ward was granted its occupancy permit Monday, receiving finishing touches and final equipment before becoming fully operational by midweek. It’s been almost a year since construction began on the $5.3-million project, which was built in two phases. The first phase opened last July with four of eight 400-square-foot singlefamily birthing rooms that feature ocean views, fridges, TVs, beds for fathers and private wheelchairaccessible bathrooms fit with showers and soaker tubs. Renovations on the second half of the ward that remained open during construction of Phase 1 began shortly after. Now that it’s finished, the ward has another four birthing rooms, meaning mothers can labour, deliver and recover in the same room. Rooms that have, until now, been used for recovery will be taken over by the hospital’s maternity clinic, which has been operating on the main floor. Additionally, the ward’s nursery and family, antepartum and negative pressure rooms have been refurbished. Staff and patients alike are also enjoying updated security measures. Visitors now have to be granted access through locked doors at the reception area, whereas before, people could simply walk through the open hallway. Not only is the ward’s design more functionally efficient, it is aesthetically pleasing, too. Spots on a ‘birthday wall’ that will depict an ocean scene near the main entrance will be available for purchase to those looking to commemorate a birth. The new ward – which is 50 per cent larger, has almost three time the capacity of the previous one and has been completed on time and budget – is

Just don’t call them dys---ctional

ne would be hard-pressed to imagine an issue of lesser importance to civic taxpayers. But what began last summer simply as a note about portraits of past mayors being removed from the walls of city hall quickly depreciated into a case of political acrimony – the mayor announced she was outraged, a councillor accused the mayor of being out-of-touch with city plans and the City of White Rock’s communications officer was soon out of a job. What is it about small-town politics that transforms intelligent, caring individuals who decide to run for public office into power players bogged down by self-serving infighting? In recent terms of office, White Rock has suffered from embarrassment after embarrassment. The current council began its mandate with its longest-serving councillor being turfed from office by a Supreme Court judge, the previous council ended theirs mired in accusation of dysfunction. Over the years, we’ve seen allegations of money spent for charity without authorization, squabbles over perks and junkets and a nasty pen-stabbing incident that still resonates to this day. Again, good intentions must also pave the road to city hall. One might suggest there must be something in White Rock’s water, but after last summer’s E. coli scare, such a comment would not have the desired impact. The most recent bit of political nonsense came to a climax Monday at White Rock City Hall, as an uncomfortable-looking Mayor Catherine Ferguson read aloud a motion chastising her own actions last August when she told Peace Arch News she was angered by a staff member’s actions.Unbeknownst to us, the issue has snowballed behind the scenes ever since, bogged down in legal interpretation and emotions. Historically, some have made a bit of a game out of such trifling politics. Much has been written about former prime minister Pierre Trudeau’s fudging of the phrase “fuddle duddle,” former president Bill Clinton’s dalliances with a certain blue dress and George Bush’s struggles with the English language. Depending on the mood of the populace, each resulted in varying degrees of embarrassment and entertainment. But White Rock’s recent trifle led to a respected staffer losing her job, a respected mayor humbling herself in public and a respected council now facing accusations of using other’s misfortunes for cheap political gain. This group takes the “fun” out of “dysfunctional.”

self-improvement, just fun. Kamchatkan brown bears, like others, will find a spot on a hillside with a good view to just relax and nap. Before those Romans changed a good thing, there were only 10 months in the calendar (that’s why December starts with “Dec,” meaning 10). January and February didn’t even exist; winter was simply a monthless time. And even when January came around it was named for Janus, the Roman god of slumber. OK, that’s a lie. In truth, Janus is usually shown as two-headed, looking forward and back, and is the god of gates and doorways. For now, my doorway to the new year is still closed. My bear family’s den is a nest of blankets topped with Grandma’s handmade quilt. At midnight, the fouryear-old cub climbs in. At four, the dog pushes her gate open and finds a spot at the foot of the bed. Two hours later, the two-year-old is hopping up and down in his crib, waiting for an obliging mama bear to lift him aboard. The usual wake-up time comes and goes. No one wants to leave. It’s cold out there, man. And dark. On the calendar, technically, the new year may have arrived. But my ears are too stuffed with sleep to hear, my limbs too drowsy to respond to its clarion call.

Public debate unbecoming Editor: Re: Mayor rebuked over staff criticism, Jan. 12. I don’t understand Picturegate. I was at the council meeting, agenda in hand, brain unable to understand the motion, “Whereas there has been media coverage and an impact on staff…,” while I watched an obviously irritated mayor and listened to righteous indignation from councillors in full huff and puff, reminiscent of The Great Strike. I honestly expected a chorus of We Shall Overcome. There is a rule in all levels of government, written or otherwise, to never – in bold face, underlined, and red ink – ever name a member of staff in public. The elected representatives come and go, staff and their managers are constant. Problems are handled by management and staff representatives. Staff issues – personal or group – are not discussed in the public forum unless in general terms. Council has now publicly debated a supposed staff issue and passed a motion censuring the mayor, who has deferred to legal counsel. The liability brush is painting all of them. The implications of a motion in an elected forum critical of a member’s behaviour beginning with “Whereas there has been media coverage…” puts our press on a higher plane than they deserve, and calls into question the actions of every politician from the prime minister on down the line. Picturegate is the result of the mayor and council breaking a cardinal rule regarding staff: ferme la bouche. Larry Robinson, White Rock

Whistle stop less expensive Editor: Re: Train stop in White Rock ‘an uphill fight,’ Dec. 8. Instead of a permanent train stop and all the necessary infrastructure for a White Rock train station, create a whistle-stop station. For passengers going to Vancouver, there’s no need to check the train, as there’s no border crossing. For passengers travelling

to the U.S., the train can be inspected at the border. A whistle stop should be less expensive, as if there are no passengers, the train continues. J. B. Latham, Surrey

Others knew of repulsive laws Editor: Re: They don’t get a world of issues, Jan. 7 letters. Letter-writer Glenn Miles of Surrey is not alone wondering about our MP’s comments on Afghanistan. Why does the human-rights subcommittee have to wait for a Rev. Majed El Shafie – founder of a human-rights watchdog organization – to inform them what is going on in Afghanistan? Where is our embassy, Canadian Security Intelligence Service, Department of National Defence, etc ? Our MP and the other members of this committee did not know for over one year of the repulsive laws?

Every other government did! When Afghan soldiers – one third illiterate – board a bus to be driven to a Taliban-infested area, the doors have to be locked. Otherwise, they jump out and flee – with their guns – to be welcomed by the Taliban. This is a “war” which the West or anybody else will never win. History has proven it for over a thousand years.

Effects of new alcohol rules Editor: The police have a vital role in society towards protecting us from both anarchy and insurrection. This does not include much more than being professional witnesses in criminal and quasi-criminal proceedings. The new impaired-driving laws – with their immediate impoundment and little recourse – hand the police an absolute authority as witness, judge and jury. Our provincial government empowers an unaccountable agency like the RCMP, while it profits from expansions of gambling and liquor sales. Is this about safety or revenue and obedience? Have we traded one menace on the road for another? Ron Eves, Surrey ■ I am not afraid of getting caught driving drunk! How much booze is too much? It depends on how big a person you are.

Letter-writer Elizabeth Gill and fiancé Mark Jongedijk have found a sense of community at Kwomais Point Park.

More than the spectacular view e-mail: Editor: Re: Surrey’s tree mistake ‘puts rail at risk,’ Jan. 5. I read your article in the Peace Arch News about the trees being cut down close to the tracks at Kwomais Point Park. Although an environmental mistake was made, I think a lot of good will come out of a little bit of bad. My fiancé Mark Jongedijk, his children, Matthew and Melissa, and I are new residents to the Ocean Park community. Our family is in love with the area and the people. When we moved into our new home, we were greeted by friendly neighbours bringing us jam, flowers and offering to have us over for a drink. Almost daily we walk to the end of our street to Kwomais Point handin-hand and look at the amazing view of the ocean. If you look around a little more while at the point, you will see more than a spectacular view; you will see people building moments into memories with their loved ones.

At the point, you will often see couples in their 80s parked in their car gazing at the sunset, as they are too frail to take a long walk at the beach. You will see husbands walking hand-in-hand with their faithful wives that they have been married to for more than 20 years. You can see newlyweds in their blissful first year of marriage, couples with their young children in strollers, people walking their dogs and runners enjoying the view as they stretch after a long run. If you have not come to see the view at Kwomais Point, I urge you to take a moment and bring someone you love to see the view and have a moment with them. I heard on the radio that January is the time when most people file for divorce. People often end up in divorce because they don’t nurture their loved ones or take time every day to spend a moment together. I am so blessed to have met a man who has learned the importance of moments together, and I am glad we can share those moments at Kwomais Point. Elizabeth Gill, Surrey

One survivor settles out of court

Balloon-crash trial set Dan Ferguson Black Press

A B.C. Supreme Court civil trial will decide some of the legal claims and counter claims swirling around the Aug. 24, 2007 hot air balloon crash in South Surrey that killed Langley mother and daughter Shannon and Jemma Knackstedt. The case has been scheduled for three days beginning Feb. 14 in Vancouver. August Knackstedt, husband of Shannon and father of Jemma, is suing several parties, including the owner and operator of the balloon, the balloon pilot, the man who maintained the balloon and the Attorney General of Canada on behalf of air safety regulatory agency Transport Canada. The Attorney General has applied to have the lawsuit against Transport Canada thrown out, arguing it is unreasonable. The other parties being sued are expected to make similar arguments at the February hearing. The Langley mother and daughter died after the Aerostar S77A they were passengers in caught fire during takeoff preparations at the Hazelmere RV Park & Campground. Other passengers suffered

Court records appear to show that at least one of those injured passengers, Aldergrove resident Dean Ziyone, has reached an out-of-court settlement with the same group of parties named in the Knackstedt case. A consent order was filed in the Supreme Court of Vancouver on Dec. 23 that shows Ziyone

and the people he was suing have jointly agreed to dismiss his court action, something that usually indicates an out-of-court agreement has been negotiated. Ziyone’s lawyer did not respond to a request for comment Monday. Ziyone suffered a broken pelvis when he leaped from the burning balloon as it began to rapidly rise. His mother and father, who jumped out before Ziyone did, suffered less serious injuries. Investigators determined a substantial fuel leak caused the uncontrolled blaze in the vessel’s cockpit. The Transportation Safety Board’s final report on the crash, released last September, made recommendations including the use of emergency shutoff valves on propane tanks and better monitoring to ensure such balloons continue to meet safety standards. Nearly two dozen suits and countersuits have been filed in connection with the tragedy. Most of the surviving passengers have filed suit, as have the Knackstedt family and owners of the mobile homes that were destroyed when the basket crashed. The owner-operator of the RV park is also seeking damages.

Ryan Carrier helps prosecute war crimes

A sense of justice Alex Browne

Staff Reporter

here’s a sense of justice and doing the right thing with Ryan Carrier that runs far deeper than the simple pursuit of a legal career. When the Semiahmoo Secondary graduate spoke to the White Rock and Peace Arch Rotary clubs, and members of the Semiahmoo Rotary Club just before Christmas, it was in his current capacity as a war crimes prosecutor for the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague, Holland. It was also an expression of gratitude as a former Rotary exchange student and Rotary sponsored scholar – help from the local clubs, in the late 1980s and 1990s set him on his path. “I was very happy to talk to the Rotary community from South Surrey and White Rock – they gave me my first opportunity to see the world,” Carrier, now 38, said. “I would not be where I am today had it not been for two of the most important and defining chapters of my life – my year as a rotary exchange student in Sweden, and the year I spent in South Africa as a Rotary ambassadorial scholar.” Ask him why he does what he does, and Carrier’s thoughts go back to the latter year, 1996’97, during which he studied criminology at the University of Cape Town. “Of the many experiences I had in Africa, some of the most memorable were my interactions with Nelson Mandela, whom I met on a few occasions – in fact, I spent a day with him when he visited the last prison to hold him before he was released.” Mandela told Carrier he had been encouraged by his interactions with his white Afrikaner jailors because they did their duty mostly without abuse or malice toward him – which had fostered his belief in a peaceful solution to Apartheid. “He did not see white people as the problem – just Apartheid,” Carrier said. “I often think of Mandela’s story as I do my present job, because it speaks to the importance of holding the powerful accountable for abusing their positions or the authority entrusted to them, as well as the potential negative impact of allowing such abuses to go unpunished. “It goes to the heart of why the crimes that I prosecute are called crimes against humanity. It also inspired me to think about justice, public service, and trying to make

an impact.” Although he currently lives in The Hague with his girlfriend – a fellow prosecutor from Vancouver – Carrier retains close ties to White Rock and South Surrey, where he was born and raised (his father still lives in Crescent Beach and his cousin is well-known local singer/ songwriter Jordan Carrier). He attended White Rock Elementary and Earl Marriott Secondary before going to Semiahmoo for his last two years of high school. But while he has always been interested in justice issues and working in public service, he says he was not setting out with any firm career goals when he started as an undergraduate at McGill University. His Rotaryfunded year of study in South Africa provided a powerful focus for his later education, however, including a Master of Arts degree in criminology. After working as a litigation associate in Toronto, the University of Toronto and Cambridge-

educated lawyer served as a criminal prosecutor for the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General for close to three years before taking up his current post in The Hague. His job – technically prosecution trial division attorney – has him working as part of a large team that includes not only lawyers but also military and political analysts, interpreters and investigators. His own duties have included everything from personally examining and cross-examining witnesses and experts in the often combative atmosphere of trials; developing trial strategy and presenting closing arguments, to the incredibly time-consuming process of conducting and supervising research and analysis. He has also led large components of complex international prosecutions. The tribunal is the first of its kind since the Nuremberg Military Tribunal established to prosecute the remainder of the Nazi leadership at the close of

City vows to cut red tape Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Canadian businesses say they are bound with red tape, slowing their productivity and costing them a fortune. And it’s hitting small-to-medium businesses the hardest, according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses (CFIB). A business with more than 100 employees annually spends an average of $1,117 per employee to comply with regulations, while companies with up to four employees spend an average of $5,825 per employee annually. In total, red tape is costing Canadian businesses $30 billion annually in compliance alone. The CFIB estimates the burden could be reduced by 25 per cent without harming the legitimate objectives of regulation, such as health and safety. The City of Surrey launched a more aggressive attempt to reduce red tape as part of Red Tape Awareness Week, which ended yesterday.

Surrey has worked to reduce regulations for the past several years. However, many of the bylaws still on the books are antiquated and beyond reasonable use, according to Mayor Dianne Watts. “The city still has on the books bylaw 14 from 1885 which mandates that city officials administering fence bylaws were to be paid $2.50 per day, and another bylaw from 1974 prohibiting pool halls from operating in the city,” Watts said. “These are just two examples of outdated bylaws that need to be removed from books.” The city has established the Mayor’s Red Tape Reduction Advisory Committee, which will comb over municipal regulations and recommend removing ones that are unnecessary. Meanwhile, the province said B.C. leads the country in reducing onerous regulations. Finance Minister Colin Hansen said the province has reduced more than 42 per cent of red tape since 2001.

Promoting mental health Steve Nash Fitness World and Sports Clubs are hosting a clubwide Spin-a-Thon Jan. 17, officially known as the most depressing day of the year by the Canadian Mental Health Association. Members are invited to cycle at Morgan Crossing with Michael Schratter, who is cycling solo around the world to raise money for mental illness and battle the stigma surrounding it. Schratter – a Vancouver school teacher and newspaper columnist – is trying to raise $40,000 through his Ride Don’t Hide campaign for the CMHA’s B.C. division, supporting programs for children and youth. “If we can share the common story of how mental illness affects our lives, we will see it for what it is – a variation of the human condition,”

Schratter said. “To harbour mental stigma is to harbour a stigma against humanity.” This month’s Spin-a-Thon – at the Steve Nash Sports Club at 120-15850 26 Ave. – will benefit children with mental-health disorders, while highlighting the link between physical activity and positive mental wellbeing. Funds will be raised from a twohour class that will broadcast a webcam of Schratter’s ride through South America, including Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. The class costs $15 or $10 each for a relay team of four. For more information, visit www. facebook.com/home.php#!/stevenashfitnessclubs, or www.stevenashfitnessclubs.com or www.ridedonthide.com

Kindergarten registration begins Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Registration for children entering kindergarten this September begins next week in Surrey. Kids who turn five before Jan. 1, 2012 are eligible to start school this fall. Whereas many Surrey kindergarten classes this year remained half-day programs, beginning this September, all kindergarten classes will be full day. Kindergarten registration can be done at your nearest elementary school beginning Jan. 17. For locations, check www. sd36.bc.ca/findaschool. html or call 604-5924272. The following must be provided: • Proof of birth date

for the student (birth certificate or passport); • Proof of guardianship (parents/guardians’ as shown on birth certificate or other appropriate legal documentation); • Proof of citizenship for both the parents and the students (birth certificate, citizenship card, passport, landed immigrant document, permanent resident card); • Proof of residency (purchase or rental agreement, property tax document, Hydro or gas bill). Health-related documents such as immunization records or medical condition information are helpful, but not required. Early French immersion, traditional, intensive fine arts and Montessori programs

They got cash but need food Kudos to Surrey. That’s the sentiment from the Surrey Food Bank, which reached its goal of $450,000 in cash donations in 2010. Although food bank staff were nervous when just half the goal was reached two weeks before Christmas, the final holiday surge, still being tallied, is expected to bring the total well over the goal. “Donors heard the message,” says Marilyn Herrmann. “That’ll cover us for the next six or seven months.” What missed the mark was the number of food donations, which were about

50,000 pounds, short of the target of 450,000 pounds. That means the food bank will have to divert some money from overhead costs to food purchases in the coming months. Although 68 area schools held Christmas food-bank drives, that number was down from 100 schools in 2009. Other private and corporate food drives were also a bit weaker than previous years. Herrmann speculates donors believe that money goes further than food donations. “The challenge is we still need food.” – Boaz Joseph

My husband is leaving our three teenage children and me. He is successful in his own business and has offered a pittance for support of myself and our children. He is in control of all aspects of his private business and he threatens that if I go to court he will use every means to thwart any attempt to obtain nancial information. I am frightened that he will be able to conceal his real assets and income and my children and I will suffer. Non-disclosure is a very real and very difcult problem. One Supreme Court Judge has stated that non-disclosure is the cancer of family actions. Apart from contempt of court applications which are expensive, the major remedy is a retroactive one. If your husband persistently refuses to fully disclose his income and assets, a Court can award you “special costs” which is the Court’s way of punishing the person that deliberately and persistently fails to disclose relevant information.

Drummer Milton Randall leads enthusiastic students in an energetic final performance.

H.T. Thrift students learn the art of hand-drumming

And the beat goes on... H.T. Thrift Elementary students were learning – and speaking and dancing – to a different beat this week. Treated to a hand-drumming workshop led by Milton Randall of Groove Masters Percussion, the children explored African and Brazilian dance, song and communication, transforming their school’s gymnasium into a studio pulsating with energy. Randall, who studied with master drummer Godwin Agbeli in Kopeyia, Ghana, has

introduced drumming to more than 200,000 students. Monday’s day-long workshop at H.T. Thrift gave students from all grades the opportunity to try their hand at playing an authentic African drum. It concluded with a performance involving the senior students that got their peers and teachers up and grooving. They did well, Randall said as he headed in to lead students through the finale. “What an incredible group,” he said.

Our family and I feel that The Residence at Morgan Heights has gone the extra mile for their residents and we are all very pleased with the care and the environment. Also, my husband and I have found the Bistro is an added feature that is most handy when we are on the run and want to take Mum and Auntie for dessert and coffee. Sincerely, Mary Call Jacky today for a private consultation.

Community Based Lawyering

After over 25 years working in the family justice system, 8 years as a family justice counsellor and the past 18 years practicing family law, I bring a broad range of experience and expertise to my clients. I have recently established what I would like to call a more community based family law practice here in the White Rock area. With its’ changing and growing demographics, the White Rock area has a corresponding need for quality goods and services, locally. People don’t want to have to drive ‘downtown’. People want good family counsel in whom they will have con dence. They want to deal personally with their own lawyer. They want to be heard, to get ‘straight’ advice and timely, effective service at a reasonable cost. And, it helps if it is close by. From simple divorces to principled negotiations and agreements, from Supreme Court Chambers and Trial work, to the Court of Appeal, I provide a complete package of legal experience and expertise, as may be required by the needs of my clients. The importance of obtaining independent legal advice upon marital breakdown cannot be over-emphasized. A negotiated agreement is always the optimal objective. Sometimes, however, emotional or other dynamics may intervene and the timely protection or the advancement of one’s rights may be necessary. Delay can be prejudicial. So, it is important to  nd out where you stand and your options. If you live or work here, I am easily accessible.

For better or worse, railway here to stay The last in a feature series on the Semiahmoo Peninsula’s relationship with its rail route. Alex Browne

Staff Reporter

t’s been seen both as a cornerstone of the community and as the bane of the community; as both a defining reality and a historical anomaly. But – love it or loathe it – the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railway line that cuts a swath through White Rock and South Surrey is likely to be with us for a long time. Even the most ardent track relocation advocate is bound to admit that creating an alternate route 19,000 known secondary suites in Surrey that bypasses Keeping White Rock, track Ocean Park and Crescent Beach is something that will take many years – and many PAN’s rail series millions of began with this dollars – to feature Oct. 22. accomplish. In the early 1900s, when it was first built, the rail line was seen by as an economic saviour for a fledgling community – which led directly to the B.C. government extended the charter of the Vancouver, Victoria and Eastern Railway to include land along Friday

the foreshore of Semiahmoo Bay, through Crescent Beach and on to Mud Bay. When the VV&E – controlled by railway magnate James J. Hill – was absorbed into Hill’s Great Northern Railway empire, the charter rights came along with it, effectively resulting in a grant of the right of way in perpetuity to Great Northern and its successor, BNSF. It’s a fact of life for the city of White Rock, which grew up around the line, acknowledges Mayor Catherine Ferguson. “It’s a private company. They are the people that own the land and lease some of it back to us. We do not have control over that property. Our job as as a city is to work as effectively and as efficiently as possible to make the best use of that property – and to ensure the safety of residents.” That concern with safety is shared by BNSF, she added, with whom the city has “an excellent working relationship.” But what might seem a liability to others can also be viewed as an asset, Ferguson notes. That’s especially true in a city that – 100 years after the line was built – faces economic challenges as a result of erosion of business in the uptown core, a tax base that leans too heavily on homeowners, and a waterfront commercial area that limps along between summer tourist seasons. “Everything old is new again,”

said Ferguson. “I choose to look at the railway as an opportunity and an advantage.” The city’s establishment of a new task force to lobby for an Amtrak stop in the city – something advocates see as having potential spinoffs that could bring millions of dollars in business each year – is only one manifestation of White Rock council’s current railway consciousness, she said. “We’ve been putting more money into the old White Rock train station – now the museum – as

Rail history could boost tourism � from page 23 foreshore to an alternate inland route, said he is in favour of retaining historic ties with the railway – even if those ties support only a few yards of track kept as a heritage attraction after the main line is relocated. “The railway definitely has historical importance to this area, and that could be a tourism opportunity,” the South Surrey resident said. “I could definitely see some old railway equipment, even some antique railway pieces down on the waterfront, particularly on East Beach where they seem to need some help.” But Pitcairn’s vision of the future is for a shoreline largely unmarred by railway tracks, where environmental damage and the potential for derailment of cars carrying hazardous materials would also be history. For naturalists, the railway has been a disruptive factor in the natural ecosystem, Pitcairn said. Boulders along the route have meant, instead of natural beach erosion processes, a cobbled beach devoid of most sand. That has discouraged the presence of feeder fish along the bottom of the food chain, he added. But pointing to shoreline preservation efforts in West Vancouver and at Lily Point Park in Point Roberts, he believes the shoreline could be rehabilitated with the

right political will – and minus the railway. “I’d like to see something that would be like morphing the Vancouver Sea Wall with the former Kettle Valley Railway,” he said, adding that a natural trail from Mud Bay to White Rock – using what is now the BNSF right-ofway – could link with the Delta Dyke Trail and the Fraser River Trail as part of Metro Vancouver’s Greenway Vision Plan. But that would also take an infusion of cash, he noted, which might have to come from regional sources. “The only problem with all this is the cost of upkeep,” he said, noting that BNSF spent $800,000 a few years back just replacing the riprap or loose rock foundation – along the line. And while fellow advocates of moving the tracks see the anticipated advent of high speed rail service between the US Pacific Northwest and Vancouver as the great hope for relocation, Pitcairn warns it is a very narrow window of opportunity. And it will hinge on business factors – just as in the old days of the Great Northern – that are largely beyond residents’ control. “When they bring in high speed rail, that is, realistically, the only time to move it,” he said. “Unless it happens then, the railway will always be in White Rock.”

Old light bulbs on way out Jeff Nagel Black Press

Standard incandescent light bulbs are now an endangered species. A phase-out underway means consumers who haven’t already made the switch will soon have to start buying more energy-efficient compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs instead. B.C. banned new imports of old 75- and 100-watt incandescent bulbs Jan. 1, although wholesalers and retailers are allowed to continue selling their existing stock. That means for weeks and perhaps months, holdouts should be able to buy and stockpile higherwattage old-style bulbs before they become a retro rarity. “We’ve had quite a run on incandescent light bulbs,” said James Price, owner of Ladner Village Hardware. He hasn’t run out yet – the store still expects to get more shipments of standard bulbs before they vanish from warehouses altogether. “A lot of people don’t like the colour of the light with the CFLs,” he said, adding some of his customers are hoarding old bulbs. “They’re used to turning a light

CFLs start dim and get brighter, so they’re not as convenient.” Price said large incandescent flood lights have already become harder to find, even for retailers. And he’s stockpiling as many incandescent Christmas light strings as possible for customers who prefer them. Surrey’s Paul Hillsdon won’t be among shoppers rooting out the last regular bulbs. His family switched more than seven years ago to the lower-energy compact fluorescents, which cost more up front but use 75 per cent less

energy than an incandescent and last up to 10 times longer. “The cost savings were there, so why not switch?” Hillsdon asked. Others hate the new CFLs and plan to hoard old bulbs. “I stocked up today,” said one poster on an online forum. “CFLs may use less energy in general but their lighting is cold, you cannot use them with a dimmer, without additional circuitry, and they’re butt ugly,” said Vancouver’s Paul Greasby. BC Hydro says the switch, which will also be mandated nationally, is needed because 66 per cent of its additional electricity requirements must be met by efficiency and conservation by 2020. Some critics challenge the environmental case for CFLs. They question whether the bulbs last as long in practice – when people turn them on and off frequently – as they do in continuous-use tests. And dead CFL bulbs are considered hazardous waste because they each contain about four mg of mercury. Recycling depots and many retailers collect fluorescent bulbs for recycling and assure safe handling.

Wife may testify against vet in horse-cruelty trial Dan Ferguson

Your home is your castle. BCAA Premier Home Insurance will help you protect it.

Black Press

The trial of a Langley veterinarian accused of animal abuse and using a horse to pull a car out of a ditch has been told his ex-wife may be called as a witness against him. Mark Marohn is charged with one count of being an owner who failed to provide “necessaries” for animals and one count of causing an animal to continue to be in distress. His trial opened Monday in Surrey Provincial Court. During opening statements, the Crown prosecutor disclosed that Marohn’s ex-wife, Carol Schoyen-Marohn, may be a witness against her husband. She faces a separate trial on the same charges after her former spouse. The pair, both veterinarians, were charged after an emaciated horse got stuck in a ditch on 208 Street north of 16 Avenue on Dec. 10, 2008. Witnesses called 911 after seeing the seven-year-old gelding named Buddy was being used, unsuccessfully, to tow a car out of the ditch. That same day, cruelty

Do you have a storm drain on or in front of your property? It is important to keep it clear, especially during melting conditions. Blocked storm drains may result in excess accumulation of water along the road area, a situation that could become dangerous if it subsequently freezes. It also helps reduce the potential for flooding of adjacent properties depending on the extent of the blockage along with the amount of melting snow and rain fall.

2010 marks small increases for real estate

Home prices peaked last April Jeff Nagel Black Press

Lower Mainland real estate markets recorded modest gains in 2010, despite a slide in prices from their peak last April. Detached houses were up four per cent for the year to a benchmark price of $797,900, according to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV). Benchmark attached homes gained 2.7 per cent to $490,900 and condo prices rose 1.2 per cent to $387,100. Residential prices have come down about 2.6 per cent since

April, but have rebounded more than 20 per cent since the depths of the world financial crisis in early 2009. “Although we saw some pressure on home prices throughout the year, home values in 2010 remained relatively steady in the region compared to the last few years when we witnessed much more fluctuation,” board president Jake Moldowan said. The Greater Vancouver association covers Metro Vancouver except Surrey, North Delta, White Rock and Langley. The gains were far from consistent, however.

Bus lane set for Highway 99 The bus ride from White Rock to Richmond is expected to improve this spring, with the addition of a dedicated shoulder lane along Highway 99. The six-kilometre lane, running between King George Boulevard and Highway 91, is a result of a partnership between the federal and provincial governments. “At the rate the region is growing, we are investing in key projects to get people out of their cars and into transit,” said Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Shirley Bond.

Surrey-Panorama MLA Stephanie Cadieux said the aim is to make taking transit an attractive alternative to driving. “People sitting in traffic will be convinced that transit is the way to travel when they see buses moving past congestion on Highway 99,” Cadieux said. Once the lane and other improvements – including a similar lane planned from Westminster Highway to Bridgeport Road – are complete, it is estimated the ride from White Rock to Richmond will take less than 30 minutes.

Announcement

ICBC throws wider net with more red light cams

Lights, camera, action… Jeff Nagel Black Press

ICBC has unveiled a list of 140 intersections where it’s activating new digital cameras to bust redlight runners. The insurance corporation says the $20-million expansion of its existing program means there’s a better of catching violators, who then get $167 tickets in the mail. Under the old system, 30 film cameras were rotated through about 120 locations. Placing digital cameras in all 140 new locations mean there’s a nearly five-fold increase in intersections that can be electronically patrolled at any given time. Most of the sites are in Metro Vancouver, with 46 in Vancouver, 29 in Surrey, 11 in Burnaby, 10 in the Tri-Cities, eight in Richmond, four in both Langley and North Delta and three each in Maple Ridge and Abbotsford. The biggest increase is in Surrey, where more than twice as many cameras are to be deployed as before, and Vancouver, which gets an an extra 21 patrolled intersections. South Surrey sites include: 152 Street at King George Boulevard, 56 Avenue and 64 Avenue; 120 Street at 56 Avenue; 64 Avenue at King George Boulevard; and

accompanying crash statistics at www.icbc.com/road-safety/saferdrivers/intersection-safety ICBC denies its out to ring up tickets for a cash grab, and says it will be selective in when and how many cameras are activated at a time. About 35 of 140 sites are now activated and the rest are to be added over the balance of the year. All the sites are considered high-risk intersections, many of them notorious for T-bone-type crashes. Tickets are only issued to drivers who enter the intersection on a solid red light. ICBC predicts there will be a six-per-cent reduction in serious injury and fatal crashes at intersections as a result of the cameras, and reduced claims costs will pay for them. About 33,000 tickets a year are now expected to go up, an increase of 10,000. The ticket fine revenue will go to local municipalities, not to ICBC. The digital system means tickets will go out in days, rather than the current four to six weeks. The Integrated Safety Camera Unit issues 20,000 tickets a year to red-light runners. Roughly 40 per cent of serious crashes happen at intersections.

The showcase of canine musical freestyle performance (a choreographed set of moves performed to music by dog and handler) resulted in a $5,000 donation this week to Langley’s Critter Care Wildlife Society.

account of abuse he suffered as a child in England during the Second World War, before his first foray intro historical fiction. From a simple starting point, his novel evolved over seven years – including three years of intensive writing – into a complex saga of pre-Columbian times, linking Irish and Norse mythology with the legends of North and Central America. Set in the 10th century AD, it follows the destiny of an Irish priest and some monks who are shipwrecked in the Hebrides and taken as slaves by Norse traders. They, another slave and two Norsemen, find themselves stranded on the coast of a strange new world whose indigenous people have a strikingly sophisticated culture and civilization. More than an adventure, it’s also the story of a spiritual quest that suggests the origins of Totec legends about the 10th century king Topitzin-Quetzalcoatl, personification of the god, who, in some accounts, was light-skinned and bearded. Thoroughly researched and evocatively descriptive, Blood, Feathers and Holy Men

gives authentic life to what, in the hands of another author, might be simply a fanciful tale. But its a story founded on many pieces of historical anomaly, Nuttall-Smith said. Among them are persistent indications of pre-Columbian contacts between European, African and North and Central American cultures – stories of bearded traders who mined copper in the midwest; copper nuggets that have turned up in Spain; natives who ate with silverware when Europeans were still eating with their fingers; an African presence that long predate the slave traders of the 16th and 17th centuries. Evidence of pre-Columbian city in the Great Lakes area, described by NuttallSmith in the book, but long dismissed by historians as legend, was recently featured in National Geographic magazine, NuttallSmith notes. He also took pains to ensure that songs and hymns taught by one-character, Brother Rordan, to native children were authentic to the 10th century. � see page 35

Arts Club Theatre brings latest comedy to Surrey

Go on a joyride with Becky Becky is married. Check. With one son, in college. Check, check. Living a perfectly ordinary life. Check. But she wants more. When an unexpected offer for just that – from a dashing millionaire, no less – falls into her lap, Becky embarks on a comic and poignant joyride that may change everything forever. Starring Deborah Williams (Mom’s the Word), Jackson Davies (The Beachcombers, The Producers) and Cavan Cunningham (Fitzy Fitzgerald

from TV’s Corner Gas), Becky’s New Car, on tour from the Arts Club Theatre Company, will park at the Surrey Arts Centre from Jan.18 to 29, with evening and matinée performances. “Not only is the play funny, but Becky’s predicament is surprisingly provocative,” says director Rachel Ditor. “The play asks us to reflect on what it means to live life fully in your middle years when the stability and comfort you fought for can feel more like a weight than freedom.

What do you do? Can you reinvent yourself? What are the costs of that? Becky allows us to laugh at ourselves, and to live vicariously through her adventures as we take a trip to that fantasyland that so many of us share from time to time in our lives: the magical what if…?” Becky’s New Car runs Jan. 18-29 at the Surrey Arts Centre, 13750 88 Ave. Tickets are $25-43 and are available by calling 604501-5566 or online at tickets. surrey.ca

He also notes with some amusement that in his burgeoning writing career, he’s beginning to catch up with his son, Toronto journalist Chris Nuttall-Smith. “The father is following in his son’s shoes,” he said. Nuttall-Smith said he has a new novel – a fictional reworking of The Chameleon Sings – completed, but he hopes to do more travelling with Thomson, who patiently endured his often obsessive regime while working on the current novel, before attempting any more books. He agreed that the storyline of Blood, Feathers and Holy Men leaves plenty of scope for sequels. “But I may not be the one to write them,” he added, wryly.

� from page 33 “I wanted to make sure that everything in it actually existed,” Nuttall-Smith said. But the story also establishes another kind of authenticity by drawing on experiences and people he has known from his own life, he said. His characterization of the indigenous peoples of the Americas reflects his friendship with, and respect for, the First Nations people he came to know during nine and a half years on B.C.’s Sunshine Coast, NuttallSmith said. And the character of Rordan – the Christian monk who marries a chief ’s daughter turned native shaman – is autobiographical, he admits (the author’s colourful history – which includes a stint in the Canadian Navy after he emigrated to Canada at the end of Second World War – also includes 13 years as a member of a Roman Catholic

Melissa Kustra set for biggest skate of her life

No trades on deadline day

Status quo for Eagles

Eye on nationals Rebekah Hammond

M Black Press

Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

It was a relatively quiet trade-deadline day around the B.C. Hockey League Monday, and was even quieter for Surrey Eagles head coach Matt Erhart, who didn’t make any moves, choosing instead to stand pat with his current roster. “I was talking with our assistant coach, Gary (Nylund) and we both kind of agreed – if you’re scrambling on Jan. 10 to find important pieces for your team, you probably haven’t been doing your job (beforehand),” Erhart said. “I think we made enough moves in the month or two leading up to (the deadline) – we were making about one a month there – that we were happy with where we sat.” It’s hard to argue with Erhart’s reasoning, considering the stretch the South Surrey-based squad has put together Brian Giebelhaus photo of late. Prior to Matt Erhart made no losing two games trades on Monday. to the Penticton Vees last weekend, the Birds had won five straight – and nine of 11. They currently sit third in the Coastal Conference, three points back of the Langley Chiefs, but with four games in hand. Erhart said he was never in serious trade talks with any team Monday – “there was some light conversation, but that’s it,” he said – and said the price to bring in an impact player was too high, as is usually the case with the deadline clock ticking. “I didn’t really inquire much about those top guys because I knew the price would be enormous,” he said. “Those deals always cost you your young players, and we’re really happy with our team now, and with our young guys, and weren’t willing to move them.” Erhart, in his first year as the Eagles head coach, made his major moves prior to Christmas, bringing in defencemen Steve Koshey and Josh Monk, as well as veteran goaltender Karel St. Laurent, who started the year in the Quebec Major Junior League and whose Junior A rights were acquired from Cowichan Valley. Earlier this month, Erhart also signed former WHL blue-liner Linden Saip, who had left the Kamloops Blazers earlier in the season. There were just 11 moves made leaguewide before the Jan. 10 deadline, although � see page 40

Melissa Kustra and Paul Schatz will compete at junior nationals later this month in Victoria.

elissa Kustra has come a long way since being B.C.’s 1995 New Year’s baby. Now 16, she’s hoping to skate her way to a win in the upcoming BMO Skate Canada Junior Nationals. Richmond-born Melissa – now a South Surrey resident – arrived 30 seconds after midnight at Richmond Hospital on Jan. 1, 1995, making her more than just the city’s first baby of the year. Melissa will again be representing the province when she skates pairs with partner Paul Schatz in the Canadian Junior Nationals Jan. 17 and 18 in Victoria. “I’m proud of her because she works so hard and enjoys herself while doing it,” Leona Kustra, Melissa’s mother, said, adding that all of Melissa’s friends and family will be attending the competition. “It’s nice she’s able to compete at the same time the Canadian Junior Nationals are here.” Leona enrolled Melissa in Richmond’s Connaught Skating Club’s CanSkate program when she was six years old and Melissa quickly took to it. “It was kind of cute,” said Leona. “During one lesson they had them carrying toys from one side of the ice to the other, and afterwards Melissa said, ‘Don’t tell daddy I didn’t skate and just played and had fun.’” She’s loved it ever since, said Leona. Melissa started training for competitions when she was eight, after her White Rock coach, Rose Friel, encouraged her to. While Melissa started out skating singles she soon learned pair skating was her passion. “I started pair skating with another boy then decided to do singles again for a year, but I missed pairs and went back to it,” said Melissa, during a phone interview from Tampa Bay, Fla., where she’s been training since June. “I was lucky to find the partner I’m skating with now.” Sometimes difficult to find the perfect partner, Melissa did one tryout with her current partner, Schatz, and found it was a great fit. “Everything that we did was clean,” said Melissa. “The throws, spins and skating elements were really good even for being the first time skating together, and he was very friendly and nice.” The two are now training six hours a day for the Canadian Junior Nationals under Lyndon Johnston, a two-time Canadian Olympian. Melissa is looking forward to skating in front of a hometown � see page 39

Southridge Storm also eliminated from contention

No RCMP tourney repeat for Warriors Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

For the first time since 2007 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and for just the third time in 13 years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a team other than the White Rock Christian Academy Warriors will win the Surrey RCMP Basketball Classic. WRCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior boys squad was ousted from contention Wednesday, after a 68-64 loss to the Fleetwood Park Dragons. The game came one day after White Rock opened the tournament with a 77-45 victory over Sullivan Heights. Prior to this season, White Rock had owned the tournament for more than a decade, with its only title loss in recent years coming when they were upset in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;07 by the Elgin Park Orcas.

Jacob Andreou led the Storm in the losing cause, with 25 points, 18 rebounds and four blocks, while Rider Laskin had 19 points. The other three Peninsula teams â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Earl Marriott, Elgin Park and Semiahmoo â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all lost their qualifying round contests Sunday. Like WRCA, the Storm won their first game, 82-34 over Frank Hurt, before bowing out to Enver Creek. In the win over Frank Hurt, five Southridge players finished in doubledigits in scoring â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Shahbaj Dhillon had 14 points, Justin Buttar had 15, Andreou had 13, Rider Laskin 12 and Ben Severide added 10. All teams played games in Pool B Thursday after press deadline. The tournament wraps up tomorrow (Saturday).

Hawks keep win streak alive Rick Kupchuk Black Press

The wins just keep on coming for the Valley West Hawks. The B.C. Major Midget League (MML) team extended its regular season win streak to 13 games last weekend, taking both ends of a double header with the South Island Thunderbirds in Langley by scored of 4-1 and 7-1. The four-point weekend vaulted the Hawks into first place in the 17-and-under elite hockey league, two points ahead of the idle Vancouver Giants with a 19-4-5 (won-loss-tied) record. The fifth-place Thunderbirds got on the scoreboard first Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre, and led 1-0 after one period.

Valley West’s Kevan Kilistoff sends a South Island player flying Saturday in Langley. But Valley West came back with three goals by a pair of Surrey forwards. Semiahmoo Minor

Hockey alum James Neil netted a pair to lift the Hawks into the lead, and a single from Trevor Cox made it 3-1 after 40 minutes. Trent Lofthouse, also of Surrey, closed out the scoring with the lone goal of the third period. In the rematch Sunday morning at the George Preston Recreation Centre, Kyle Becker and Kevan Kilistoff, as well as Surrey forward Scott Cooke, all scored on the powerplay within a twominute span for a quick 3-0 Valley West lead. After a South Island tally, Danton Hienen made it 4-1 for the home team ofter the first period. Austin Vetterl of Surrey, White Rock’s Grant Rostvig and Lofthouse added to the Hawks’ total.

Skating pair prepared for the pressure � from page 37 crowd on Monday. “This is the highest competition that we can compete at for our level,” said Melissa. “We’re excited and I think we’re ready for it.” Melissa and Schatz are one of 12 pairs that will be competing in Victoria, but their coach Johnston is confident they could make the top half. “Knowing what they can do and what other skaters are doing, I think they’re very capable at being

in the top half,” he said. Not only will Melissa be performing in her home province, she and Schatz are the most recently formed pair competing. Other teams have been competing together for several years, but coach Johnston has been preparing Melissa and Schatz and for the pressure. “It is the most important competition they’ve been to and their entire family is going to be there,” said Johnston. “Telling them this in advance will get their anxiety

up and actually help them at the competition.” In order to get into the Canadian Junior Nationals, Melissa and Schatz competed and placed 10th in December’s Western Challenge held in Mississauga, Ont. After this month’s competition, Melissa and Schatz will continue training with even larger competitions in mind. “Eventually we’re hoping to make it to the Olympics,” said Melissa. “It’s a big goal but it’s a goal we’re working towards.”

There weren’t a lot of teams selling: Erhart � from page 37 a handful of star players did change addresses. The BCHL’s leading point-scorer Mike Hammond was dealt from the Cowichan Valley Capitals to the Salmon Arm Silverbacks, while the Victoria Grizzlies picked up 20-year-old blue-liner Justin Fillion – second among defencemen in scoring with 41 points in 44 games. The Prince George Spruce Kings were by far the busiest BCHL team, making seven deals in total, including shipping former league-leading scorer RJay Berra

lot of teams selling.” The lack of trades came as a relief to his players, Erhart said, and with the deadline in the rearview mirror, they can turn their attention back to the ice. “The guys all know how it works, but I think once Tuesday hits, the guys who were maybe a little nervous can just go out there and play.” The Eagles leave this weekend for a three-game road trip that includes stops in Powell River - where they’ll battle the first-place Kings – Nanaimo and Cowichan.

and former Surrey Eagles captain Derek Henderson to the Grand Prairie Storm of the Alberta Junior ‘A’ Hockey League. Erhart said the quieter-than-usual deadline had much to do with the fact that most teams still consider themselves to be in the playoff hunt, and as such were not willing to unload veteran players for prospects. “There’s just a lot of parity in the league right now – really, Prince George is the only team that’s out of (contention) for the playoffs,” he said. “And because of that, there just weren’t a

Brentwood living:

New homes offered in a vibrant community TRICIA LESLIE

You wake up to sweeping views of Burnaby, Vancouver and the North Shore mountains, the early morning light bathing the scenic vista with an ethereal glow. Taking a long, luxurious stretch, you try to decide whether to brew a cup of fresh coffee in your chic gourmet kitchen or to meet a friend for java at a nearby café before hitting the shops at the newly revitalized Brentwood Town Centre mall. With those extra holiday pounds in mind, perhaps you choose fitness over pleasure with a gruelling workout at Confederation Park and Community Centre, or maybe a long walk along the

trails of Deer Lake Park or Burnaby Lake Park. These are the kind of decisions faced by Perspectives homeowners every day. A new Ledingham McAllister highrise development in the North Burnaby

community of Brentwood, Perspectives offers brand-new one- to three-bedroom homes in a 33-storey tower in a dynamic neighbourhood that is central in Metro Vancouver. With its own fitness facility, conference room and outdoor terraced barbecue areas, Perspectives allows its residents to conduct many activities without even leaving their home. When they do leave, however, everything is within easy reach. From Brentwood Town Centre to local coffee shops, from fine cuisine to golf and

tennis opportunities, from retail centres to parks, from elementary schools to Simon Fraser University and BCIT, Perspectives homeowners can find what they need just a short walk or drive away. Downtown Vancouver is just 15 minutes away by car and only a 20-minute SkyTrain ride, while Costco is just a quick jaunt from home. Inside, Perspectives homes are roomy, designed to maximize each continued on page 3

Looking forward to 2011, I think generally, the mood is very optimistic. builders are confident ... some are planning multiple projects (single-family and multi-family) throughout the Lower Mainland. It will be ‘steady as she goes.’”

2011 set for steady starts, says Simpson continued from page 1

ate 22,258 full-time jobs for one year, directly and indirectly related to the (residential) building industry,” he says, noting the jobs cover everyone from builders and contractors to those creating and supplying the products needed to build new homes. “That’s based solely on that increase in starts.” Last year, Metro Vancouver’s newhome construction sector ended on a strong note, with 1,715 housing starts in December, the CMHC says. “An uptick in apartment condominium starts in Vancouver City, Burnaby and Port Coquitlam accounted for the year-end surge in homebuilding,” says CMHC regional economist Carol Frketich. In B.C., December’s seasonally adjusted rate of urban housing starts moved higher to 27,900 units, from Carol Frketich 19,000 units in November. Vancouver’s seasonally adjusted annual rate of housing starts increased to 21,600 units in December from 10,900 units in November, the CMHC reports. Overall, Simpson says many factors are helping the homebuilding industry, such as mortgage interest rates remaining historically low and migration to the region. “We have a very good migration rate to the province and the Lower Mainland, from other parts of Canada and abroad,” he says. “Looking forward to 2011, I think generally, the mood is very optimistic. Builders are confident ... some are planning multiple projects (single-family and multi-family) throughout the Lower Mainland.” While there is still some angst over the HST, Simpson says the related referendum and recall initiative have muddied the waters somewhat but notes that, thanks to industry partners lobbying together at all levels of government, the threshold where HST applies was moved from $400,000 to $525,000. Credit must be given to the government for listening to some of the concerns the industry has regarding the HST, he notes. In the new year, Simpson doesn’t expect huge fluctuations where housing starts are concerned. “It will be ‘steady as she goes,’” he says. “We won’t see any dramatic increases or decreases ... steady is good.”

…off the front: “Ledingham McAllister is the only builder/developer in Western Canada that has been building in the area for more than 105 years. It just goes to show that we have a proven track record in the area and are 100 per cent committed to this province.” Manuela Mirecki, LedMac senior vice-president of marketing continued from page 1

living space to its fullest. “The first thing people notice about these homes is how large and livable and spacious they are,” says Ledingham McAllister senior vice-president of marketing Manuela Mirecki. “There’s not one inch of wasted space.” Bedrooms can hold a king-size bed and a dresser, while the dining area easily fits a table set for eight, and the balconies are spacious as well, Mirecki notes. Located next to a protected stream and across the street from a threeacre park, Ledingham McAllister worked closely with the city to ensure the area’s original character was preserved as much as possible. Last year – during a time when other developers were cutting back on their building, or building smaller homes – Ledingham McAllister increased its commitment to Perspectives homeowners, Mirecki says, because although much of the building was already pre-sold, Ledingham McAllister upgraded many of its amenities. Now, a fully stocked billiards library with

a marble fireplace is available to Perspectives residents, and a stunning ‘spawning salmon’ multi-tiered water feature created by First Nations artist Jody Broomfield greets everyone who comes to the new highrise. Kitchens at Perspectives are a chef ’s dream, with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and hand-set imported tile.

Bathrooms come with marble or limestone vanities, polished chrome, rich cabinetry, sparkling glass and stylish lighting. The reputation of the builder is important to homebuyers – and rightfully so, Mirecki says. “Buyers should be cautious. It’s their potential new home ... (Ledingham McAllister) is the only builder/developer in Western Canada that has been building in the area for more than 105 years,” Mirecki says. “It just goes to show that we have a proven track record in the area and are 100 per cent committed to this province.” The new homes – 215 tower homes and eight townhomes – range in size from 713 square feet to 1,345 sq. ft. and start from $310,900.

OBITUARIES

STEFFEN, Donna Arlene formerly Cooper (nee Pugh)

It is with heavy hearts, that we announce the unexpected passing of Donna, a loving wife, mother, sister and Nana. Mom passed away Friday, January 7th, 2011 with her husband Wolfgang and family by her side. All of us will miss Mom more than words can ever express. Mom was born in Regina, Saskatchewan on September 30th, 1934 to loving parents, Alice and Percy Pugh (deceased). At an early age, Mom’s family moved to a small farm in Surrey, British Columbia. When she was 15 they settled in Ocean Park, White Rock. Mom’s early years were filled with the outdoors and a love of singing. Her choir travelled to England in 1952, this trip began a lifelong love of travel and adventure. Mom was Miss White Rock 1952 and would always refer to it as an event for young women to strive for equality and opportunity. As a young adult, Donna attended Vancouver Normal School, which was the provincial institution used to train school teachers in British Columbia. It was here Mom discovered her love of teaching and went on to complete her bachelor of education degree at the University of British Columbia. Mom, a dedicated teacher and professional, went to school each day with enthusiasm and a profound love of children. Throughout her career she developed many lifelong friendships with colleagues and former students; all of which she treasured. She was a valued member of each school she taught at and was admired by her colleagues. After retiring from teaching, Mom continued working with young people as an author and publisher of educational books and curriculum materials. Mom wrote and published more than 50 books in her second career. Fellow journalists have praised her work and the type of person she was. Mom’s momentous career achievements were easily eclipsed by her love of her family. Mom instilled in all of us a sense of fairness and firm values. By helping others that were less fortunate, Mom’s kindness, empathy and social consciousness was a continuous example embraced by her children and passed on to her grandchildren. Her acceptance of humankind and her desire to make the lives of people around her better will be an enduring quality we will strive to match. During Mom’s recent years, she and Wolfgang spent much of their time at the Cottage on Osoyoos Lake. Mom loved this idyllic setting and was so happy entertaining friends and family. Mom and Wolf spent their years together operating their home based businesses, fishing off the west coast, exploring all corners of the world and; spending time doting on their grandchildren. Mom is survived by her loving husband, Wolfgang, her children Bradley Cooper (Audralee Daum) of Penticton, BC, Bruce Cooper (Colleen) of West Kelowna, BC, Laurel Cooper (Absalon Rodriguez) of New Westminster, BC and Grant Cooper (Elizabeth) of Winnipeg, Sylvia Taylor (Russell) of Abbotsford, her beloved sister Marilyn Dean (Charles), grandchildren Melanie, Taylor, Jackson, Lindsay, Ryley, Ty, Benjamin and Zackery. All those who had the fortune to have known Mom are now less complete but richer for her love and friendship. A gathering to celebrate Mom’s life will be held at the lake in Osoyoos this summer. In lieu of flowers a donation may be made in Mom’s name to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
