Workers have been given a six-week window to dredge 100,000 cubic metres of silt from Crescent Beach Marina.

Work to dredge 100,000 cubic metres of silt from Crescent Beach Marina is underway this week. Fisheries officials have given until Feb. 28 to complete the work. The marina was last dredged in 2002, with 30,000 m3 of silt scooped out, and was scheduled for more dredging in 2008. Marina manager Carol Charles said the work can’t be delayed any longer. Charles said recent development along the Nicomekl River – which hasn’t been dredged in years – has increased silt, and she has appealed to all levels of government to have the issue addressed, to no avail. “In a low tide, you can’t get up the river anymore. Every boat in this marina is stuck in the mud,” she said. “We’ve had no help at all. ” Charles said she even suggested officials make use of equipment she has already paid for and brought in, “but it fell on deaf ears, I guess.” Staff at Surrey-Panorama MLA Stephanie Cadieux’s office confirmed Thursday she is looking into the matter.

Retired city manager critical of current White Rock leaders

Baldwin blasts city over RCMP change Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Former White Rock city manager Wayne Baldwin has come out swinging against council’s Citizens For Positive Renewal (CPR) majority in reaction to an agreement to send RCMP dispatching services to Surrey. “Under their majority leadership, this council is systematically dismantling the city government structure and handing the city over to Surrey to run,” Baldwin charges in a letter this week to Peace Arch News, copied to Mayor Catherine Ferguson and the two other non-CPR members of council. “They are so focused on limiting height in the town centre and mucking around with the zoning bylaws and the Official Community Plan that they are not paying attention to managing the city.” In the agreement between the two cities

announced last week, calls to White Rock RCMP – including 911 and non-emergency – will be channelled through Surrey RCMP’s Operational Communications Centre (OCC), effective March 1. Six CUPE members currently serving as communications operators with White Rock are to be offered positions with the City of Surrey and will maintain seniority levels. The joint announceWayne Baldwin ment said the move will ex city manager enhance service, boost efficiency and cut White Rock’s costs by $300,000 in the first year. Responding to Baldwin’s statement, CPRbacked Coun. Lynne Sinclair called it a “bla-

tantly political” act. “What this council is doing is not a CPR initiative,” Sinclair said. “It has been an action of all of council, doing due diligence and looking at a core-service review.” Baldwin, city manager from 1983-2006, earlier this month had weighed in against the possibility of the amalgamation of fire services with Surrey. In Monday’s email, he suggested council, in signing the agreement, is establishing a further precedent for amalgamation of the two cities. “In so doing, they are unwittingly leading us down the path to absorption by Surrey. Amalgamation is no longer a possibility – it is becoming a logical outcome.” Ferguson – while noting Baldwin’s right “as a resident and taxpayer” to voice concerns – bridled at the suggestion White Rock is moving toward amalgamation with Surrey.

“That’s what we’re avoiding,” the mayor said. “I recognize and concede the requirements of a unique community and its need to stand alone, and its need to have service provided in a cost-efficient, professional manner, and we’re going to be able to do that... Amalgamation is not negotiable – the City of White Rock is a city on its own.” Blasting the closed-door decision on the RCMP dispatchers, Baldwin said it was done under “the dual smoke screens of amalgamation of the fire service and the Christmas break... (It) is a prime example of how this council gives lip service to ‘transparency in decision-making.’ “A previous council deliberated on exactly the same issue in open council meeting – there is no reason that the same consideration should not have been given here.” see page 4

news Regional committees shuffled by chair Lois Jackson

Hunt dumped as Metro’s garbage man Jeff Nagel Black Press

Marvin Hunt will no longer be Metro Vancouver’s point man on garbage and recycling issues. The Surrey city councillor has been dropped by board chair Lois Jackson as chair of Metro’s waste management committee as well as a member of that committee. Hunt has been at the forefront of the contentious debate on whether Metro should incinerate its garbage by building a new waste-toenergy plant in the region, ship local garbage to an Interior landfill or pursue different alternatives, like intensified recycling. “We need some fresh eyes,” said

Jackson, who replaced nearly half the members of Metro’s waste committee in a drive to rewrite the region’s long-delayed solid-waste management-plan this year. “Marvin’s been there for a long time and we’ve been having some difficulties concluding this file. Maybe some new ideas and a fresh look will assist us.” Hunt, Jackson and the majority of Metro’s board had endorsed pursuit of a waste-to-energy strategy. But that has been thrown into doubt by the province’s approval this month of a major expansion of the existing Cache Creek landfill, which some view as a sign Metro’s path to increased incineration will

Parking-meter theft inspires new system Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Coin-activated parking meters on the south side of Marine Drive between Finlay and 160 streets were replaced by new, modern systems this week. The old machines, which were targets of theft, were replaced Jan. 20. “We were having a lot of problems with theft and these ones are more secure,” Surrey bylaw enforcement manager Ed Warzel said Wednesday, adding eight meters were stolen from the location last week. There were more than 200 meters in the city at one point, and that number had dwindled to just 63 in December. “A lot were stolen,” Warzel said. Warzel said he didn’t know how long it would take for all pay-parking areas in the city to be updated, but he did note the new machines will accept credit cards and coins.

Need Help With An Estate?

Current manager, politicians dispute claims from page 1 Sinclair said Baldwin is “misinformed,” and “didn’t bother to ask” the facts. The move was actually in response to safety concerns, she said. “Frankly, it should have been done long ago – it was brought up to us by the RCMP as a safety concern, both for the safety of officers and the safety of citizens and the fact that they couldn’t keep dispatchers,” Sinclair said. “No one on council disagreed with the RCMP – this was decided unanimously.” Baldwin also said Surrey is “woefully under-policed” and follows a practice of putting staff resources where they are most needed. Should police services be amalgamated, Baldwin said, it would spell an end to White Rock’s “no call too small” response policy. “The Surrey detachment commander would give a lot to be able to have 23 more members at his disposal paid for by White Rock,” Baldwin said. “When the policing amalgamation happens, White Rock’s policing standard will drop down to South Surrey’s level... Sending the dispatch to Surrey is the first step in this journey to

amalgamation. Does our council really believe that once the dispatch function goes, the detachment itself can’t be far behind? How naive can you be?” Baldwin also slammed White Rock’s administration, saying he wouldn’t be surprised if council and administration didn’t know after-hours public works emergency calls are also handled by White Rock RCMP detachment dispatchers. Current city manager Peggy Clark said adminstration is “totally aware of that” and is working with Surrey dispatchers to make sure all after-hours calls are covered. The change in dispatch services, Clark said, has been “thoroughly analyzed” by herself, White Rock detachment commander Staff Sgt. Lesli Roseberry and dispatch services manager Jordan Murray. “I believe due diligence has been done,” Clark said. Mike Guraliuk, chair of CUPE Local 40201 said affected workers were informed of the agreement on Jan. 14, the same day changes were announced. “This represents 10 per cent of our workers,” Guraliuk said. “This affects more than six (members), it affects the people

around them and their co-workers. While we as a local are grateful to Surrey for offering them jobs, the loss of service to the citizens of White Rock is a concern. “These people also handle things like animal-control calls, snow removal, road closures – even people who walked in off the street after hours.” Guraliuk said that while he expected most to accept Surrey’s job offer, “these are six members the city has lost.” “It’s not going to be the same – these are people with an intimate knowledge of the city. With the city looking at amalgamating fire services and the RFP (request for proposal) for solid waste and recycling services going out, you wonder what’s happening to services.” Baldwin noted the “savings” are planned to be allocated to other police services – which Ferguson said could include fulltime front-counter staffing at the detachment, and a new evidence room. But Baldwin said allocating the money means “we taxpayers are not only going to see a reduction in services, but we won’t even have the compensation of seeing a reduction in our taxes.”

PACS changes name to 'reflect role' Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Peace Arch Community Services unveiled its new name this week, a change executive director David Young said is reflective of the organization’s broad umbrella of work. Now called Sources, the title is meant to be less specific to White Rock and South Surrey, as services also reach people in other parts of Surrey, as well as Langley and Delta. “One of the things that we had looked at over the past year or two with the board was the fact our community was continuing to grow and change,” Young said, noting Sources operates 10 locations out of Surrey and White Rock. “While our name is a strong name... it also limited

organization’s role in the community. “We found that what we were for people, in a whole variety of ways, is we’re a source of support to them. It was all about being a source of support and encouragement and hope to people in the community.” The change – and an updated website – was revealed Jan. 20 at a launch party with 50 guests, including White Rock Mayor Catherine Ferguson and South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert. “People were very excited,” Young said. “The name resonates for them.” While the name of the society – Peace Arch Community Services Society – remains the same, Young said it may be changed down the road.

The organization’s head office on Maple Street will continue as Peace Arch Resource Centre, while the food bank will revert back to White Rock/ South Surrey Food Bank. Young said he expects the transition to take time. The strongest attachment to the former name is likely found on the Peninsula, he added. It’s not the first time the community has had to adapt. Young said the organization originally started as White Rock South Surrey Family and Children’s Services Society, before it merged with White Rock Co-ordinating Centre and became Peace Arch Community Services.

It’s difficult to sum up all that the organization has done in its more than 30 years serving this community and beyond. As PACS, it has connected volunteers in the community, through a directory guiding them to organizations needing a hand. In 2001, when a transit strike left many seniors and shut-ins stranded with nowhere to turn, it stepped up with an appeal for extra volunteers for its driver program. PACS has also been a presence since White Rock-Surrey Come Share Society’s Senior Support Services lost its core funding last fall – filling the gap left by the loss of the Friendly Visitor program by launching the Community Visitors Program. Efforts to connect with youth have also been noteworthy. Its ongoing services include a youth justice program; mental health, child, family and youth services; addiction services and counselling. One of the organization’s most well-known resources is the food bank. The 24 Avenue facility serves thousands of people, one third of which are children, providing weekly food hampers and additional provisions at Christmas. The food bank grows fresh vegetables in its own garden, has offered cooking classes to help clients eat healthy on a tight budget, and even offers a shower and laundry facilities for the homeless and those at risk of being homeless. For all the agency has done, its efforts haven’t gone unnoticed. In 2004, PACS became the first B.C. agency accredited three times in a row. The community has also recognized the value and quality of the work, and, year after year, contributes to its efforts. As the efforts forge ahead, it may take a bit to adjust to the new moniker – especially without any geographical reference – but there is little doubt Sources will do its predecessor proud. Hopefully, the new name truly will give rise to even more programs. Either way, thanks to PACS, Sources has a sizable head start on making a difference.

Sadly, I am often the recipient of unsigned submissions and anonymous voice mails. While I appreciate somebody took the time to share an opinion, the lack of contact information makes it – depressingly – irrelevant. I can’t count the number of heartfelt submissions that have been trashed – unread – because somebody thought his/her beliefs mattered so much that his/her identity didn’t. (It should be noted that while we sometimes publish views of unidentified sources in extreme circumstances, I always ensure we know the identity. We owe it to our readers.) Of course, these same contributors are held to an entirely different standard when we invite them to publish comments on our website, something I’ll admit I’m not entirely comfortable with. And while I do occasionally peruse online’ comments, I give far less weight to the ones without real names. I wonder if contributors to media websites realize their posts have only limited anonymity, as trackable IP addresses – if not email addresses – are available to site administrators. Perhaps someday soon, one of them will be the subject of a lawsuit, and all will be a little more clear on the ambiguous laws that control our web-waves. For now, I continue to believe the value of free speech is incalculable. It’s sad that what some are willing to squander theirs on – unfortunately – is damn near worthless.

Wrong place for grand hotel Editor: Re: Peninsula casino plan wins early nod, Jan. 13. If you build it, will they come? I ask this because we already have a hotel/convention on King George Highway and 8 Avenue. It has beautiful rooms, restaurants, a pool and fitness facilities. It even has a potential nightclub. I say potential because for the last five or more years, they have been unable to make a viable business there and have basically remained closed. The hotel seems to have been struggling along as well – the parking lot is always empty and ownership has changed multiple times. So why do we need a new and improved one four blocks away? Not to mention that its proposed location is on agricultural land with a salmon-bearing river and watershed only a block south. Will all this be destroyed for more concrete, pavement, and associated infrastructure to support this new grand palace? What happened to building the Surrey Centre core? Seems to me something like this should be built in the city hub where transportation and support services already exist. Look at the locations of Starlight, Royal City, Fraser Downs and Langley City. They must have been “nodding” to sleep on this one! Greg Wong, Surrey Q I hope many people of like mind will appear at the public meeting, Jan. 25 to put our Surrey council on notice that we don’t want another casino, especially in South Surrey. We don’t want any rezoning at 8 Avenue and 168 Street to facilitate this development in what is a rural environment. Why lead the builder on with these pro-development “nods?” Don & Liz Murray, Surrey

Paving the way for patience Editor: Re: Cyclists need to toe the line, Jan. 6. Columnist Frank Fourchalk makes some good points regarding the benefits associated with cycling, but the overall tone of his article appears to be that of contempt for human-powered vehicles creating unsafe conditions for motorists. Planners, not cyclists, are responsible for many delays some motorists experience when sharing the public thoroughfares with bikes. The ball was dropped long ago when corridors were laid out as the primary focus related to only motor vehicles. Even the sidewalks created for pedestrians usually become encumbered with meters and signs. Granted, cycling amongst vehicles is dangerous. Most experienced cyclists have a healthy respect for the hazards, including parked -vehicle occupants opening their

doors without the customary shoulder check, or normal driving where bikes are too often not sighted creating catastrophic results. Accepted opinion amongst many cyclists is to make themselves more conspicuous, even occupying a traffic lane when necessary. Suggesting hurrying motorists exercise more patience, along with road planners’ consideration of all users, would seem to be a more appropriate message and one that might not tend to incite road rage over minor inconveniences. D. Wood, Surrey

Society of intolerance Editor: Re: Smokers attacked from all sides, Jan. 15 letters. I am responding to your letters to the editor about smoking. I was sitting on a bench last year at Semiahmoo Mall and a person approached me and asked, “can I sit beside you?” I said of course, but this person

replied, “but I am a smoker.” I said that does not matter if you are a smoker, drug addict, homeless, black or white, you have a right to sit wherever you want. The person sat down and enjoyed a smoke in a pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately we have become a society of hysterics, uncompassionate, non-tolerant. If somebody crosses the road and gets killed, the reaction is let’s put a fence up. Hysterical. I was at the hospital and a young woman was crying walking up and down the hallway. Not one person or nurse went up to her to find out what was wrong. (I did.) Uncompassionate. A person not allowed to smoke in another person’s presence. Nontolerant. As for smokers causing the high cost of health care, not true. According to my surgeon, in the old days when coming to this country you had to have a clean bill of health and shots. Now, immigrants coming into the country do not require a health check, so they bring their diseases with them, then they bring their relatives with their diseases.

Unfortunately they infect us, so we have to pay for the immigrants’ – plus relatives’ – health care, and for all the people they infect. What is needed is education before people throw stones. Mary Mikelson, Surrey Editor’s note: While most visitors require no medical check, permanent residents must pass a medical exam from an approved MD before arrival.

Compassion appreciated Editor: I would like to thank all the very kind people who came to my assistance after I had fallen while walking my dogs on Crescent Road earlier this month. Unfortunately, I do not know all of your names, but rest assured I will not forget – the firemen, ambulance paramedics, Dr. Mike O’Brien, John (who looked after my dogs), Robin (who visited me at PAH emergency) and everyone who came to my aid. You are all angels. Diane Hutchison, Surrey

Conflicting notices sent out from two groups purporting to be from White Rock’s Business Improvement Association – include one from Larry Anschell (standing, left), advising of the meeting’s cancellation – add to the confusion.

fax: 604.531.7977

Good intentions, bad for business e-mail:

Editor: I was more than a little discouraged last week to receive a rather non-descript one-page letter – ostensibly from the White Rock BIA, although who really knows any more – imploring me to ignore the much more impressive, and no doubt more expensive, stack of paper I received, again apparently from the BIA, about two weeks earlier. The point at issue related to yet another BIA meeting – that is perhaps not really a meeting – that was scheduled for Monday, July 18. Confused yet? I am. It seems all concerned are planning to trot off to the B.C. Supreme Court with their respective stacks of paper in tow, scattering BIA dollars along the way. I am sure the justices are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to put aside their more mundane daily duties – like bills of rights, murders, constitutional issues, VANOC injunctions, etc. – so that they put their judicial stamp on the BIA. Quietly slipped into the middle of the piles of paper that I read – yes, I actually did read it all – was a little

resolution proposing that the BIA be extended for a further 10 years, to be funded by steadily increasing annual assessments imposed on the business owners. I will assume the originators of the BIA concept were well-intentioned and had no agenda other than to improve business in White Rock. I will also assume the people employed to carry out that task are doing their best. Unfortunately, some well-intentioned ideas somehow morph into bureaucracies that need everincreasing funds to feed their ever-expanding agendas. To make things worse, power-hungry types seem to be attracted to the opportunity to take control of those ever-expanding budgets. I am reminded of another well-intentioned idea dreamed up in 1917 as a temporary measure to help fund the Great War. That idea was called income tax. Enough already! The BIA has been a five-year experiment at the business owners’ expense. It didn’t work. It should end. I would prefer to use my money to try and improve my own business. Cameron White, Surrey

I get so furious about hearing about violent crime and the lack of meaningful punishment meted out by the courts. Surely, in appropriate cases, shouldn’t corporal punishment be part of our criminal justice system? In my early years of practice, corporal punishment was part of our system. I acted on behalf of a person who was convicted of sexual assault of a child and he was sentenced to 5 years and the lash. In the Criminal Code it was to be administered by a cat-o-nine tails “unless some other instrument is speciÀed in the sentence.” A heavy leather strap was usually used. Corporal punishment for criminals was abolished in 1972 and capital punishment in 1976. There are a few who wish that murderers were still hanged, especially the people who have lost a member of their family to a murderer. However, I have adopted my son Patrick Ginther’s philosophy. He says, in an imaginary conversation with a convicted murderer: “Well, we aren’t going to take away your life all at once, instead we are going to take it away one day at a time.” Section 641 Criminal Code “Whipping” See also Abolition of Corporal Punishment 1972

In a recent article by the Academy of General Dentistry, it reported that 9.2 million denture replacements were done every year. More and more of those replacements involved the use of dental implants to support the dentures. Twenty-six years ago, when I first graduated from dental school, dental implants did not exist in the clinical practice. Many dentists considered it as experimental treatment. Today, with the very high success rates, dental implant treatment has become a standard of care in the treatment of edentulism ( lacking teeth).

Why choose a Bowen Therapy Clinic? Because Bowen Therapy Clinics only hire certified Bowen Therapists who are trained with the "Original Bowen Technique"

Professionals fessionals On The Peninsula

What a Difference a Quarter of a Century Makes The common method of stabilizing a denture in the early 80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involved a two-staged approach which meant that the implants were first placed and buried under the gum tissues for a period of four to five months. A second surgery was done to expose the implants and the implants were then brought into function. In the 90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, I pioneered the concept of putting dental implants into immediate function in British Columbia. This technique allowed us to shorten the treatment time while eliminating the second surgery. The result was a more comfortable experience for our patients, as well as a quicker and better result. Now the bar has risen once again. While the techniques employed in the 80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involved using dental implants to support a removable denture prosthesis, the state of the art technique today allows us to provide completely fixed teeth that can be accomplished in literally one hour of chair-side time. This treatment option became available due to a convergence of the following technologies:

lifestyles Mother recovering from car accident gives son Olympic opportunity

Keeping the flame lit Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

dedicated Olympic follower, Kari Grist was excited when she heard her office was giving away three torchbearer spots to staff – even though she knew she wouldn’t be able to participate. The South Surrey resident was hit by an SUV when walking across the street near 128 Street and Crescent Road Jan. 26 of last year. She was thrown 20 feet, and suffered multiple breaks in her right leg. Grist still can’t walk property, let alone run with a torch. So she entered her son’s name instead. Fourteen-year-old Jessie Grist is an avid hockey player, who has been skating since he was two. The Grade 9 Earl Marriott student is assistant captain for the Semiahmoo Ravens bantam A1 team, and also plays lacrosse for Semiahmoo Rock. It is his dream to play on Canada’s Olympic hockey team. Jessie sent a letter to Grist’s company about five months ago, explaining why carrying the torch is important to him. “I’ve always wanted to participate in the Olympics in some way.”

A month after, his name was pulled. “I was just really excited and happy about it,” he said, noting he received his Olympic tracksuit, mittens and tuque three weeks ago. “It kind of gave me an idea of how exciting it’s going to be.” Jessie will be carrying the torch in Kamloops Jan. 27 – almost a year to the day since his mother’s traffic incident. “I’m afraid I’m going to have a few tears that day,” Kari Grist said. “I think I’m going to be crying.” The once-in-a-lifetime experience is all the more special because she has always been a Games viewer and supporter. “I think it’s because I get so proud – they bring out all the patriotism,” she said. “The athletes, I’m just amazed by what they have to go through to get there, so I just find it so inspiring.” Grist said handing the opportunity to her son was a way for him to benefit from having a working mom. “I’m a mom and I’ve worked all my life, and as a mom, you make tradeoffs some days when you know you’d rather be doing something with them but you can’t because you have

a meeting. Sometimes those tradeoffs really hurt,” she said. “For me, it was a way to be able to give something to (him) that maybe, on a day when mom’s not able to be there, it will make (him) feel better.” Though the Olympic Torch Relay committee is not officially releasing names of torchbearers until 48 hours prior to each participant’s scheduled relay day, a number of locals have come forward, including Earl Marriott Secondary students Ian McMaster and Erik Stevenson, Elgin Park’s Nick Rutckyj, distance runner Ferg Hawke, Cheryl Cruikshank and Alfred Bennett. Another torch runner, Abbotsford resident Dylan Shaw, 17, will carry the flame Feb. 9 when it arrives on the Peninsula. Most recently, longtime swim instructor Carole Gair – coach of the White Rock Wave Masters Swim Club and Earl Marriott Mariners – announced that she, too, would carry the flame on Feb. 9, as the torch moves from the Peninsula to Delta, where Gair resides. Meanwhile, local resident Janice Birch – a silver medallist at the 1996 Summer Olympics – carried the torch Jan. 3 in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., alongside her daughter, Kendall.

Home Renovation Tax Credit

Friday, January 22, 2010 Peace Arch News

Home Renovation Tax Credit tips W hen it comes to upgrades eligible for the Home Renovation Tax Credit, remodeling a bathroom or replacing the carpet are a few jobs that first come to mind. However, there are a number of upgrades you can make around your house that are eligible for the credit that many homeowners may not be aware of. For example, the purchase and installation of a fireplace is eligible for the HRTC, as long as the work is completed by the Jan. 31 deadline, and as long as it cost more than $1,000. According to Liz Traversy from Gasland, plenty of customers have been taking advantage of the tax credit by purchasing a new, cozy addition to their home. However, Traversy warned that anybody wanting to get in on the action should hurry – installation bookings before the Jan. 31 deadline are filling up fast. “They need to run out and do it now,” she said. “I think with most companies, they’ll be booked solid in advance.” If you aren’t able to have the fireplace installed by Jan. 31, not to worry – as long as the unit is paid for in full by the deadline, you can still claim the purchase amount on your 2009 income tax return, even if it’s installed at a later date. If you’re tired of fighting with your manual garage door, but have been putting off buying an automatic garage door opener, the HRTC just might be the motivation you need to take the leap.

Metro creative photos

A gas fireplace is eligible for the HRTC. Although most garage door openers range in price from $100 to $300, adding the purchase of an opener to some other renos you have done around the house – including painting, building a new fence or gate or updating your carpet – could help you reach the minimum $1,000-mark required to qualify for the HRTC. Another upgrade you can add to the list eligible for the HRTC is a home security system – something that will pay off for years to come with heightened safety and security of your home. It should be noted, however, that while the purchase of the home security system before Jan. 31 is eligible for the tax credit, the monthly fees you will pay moving forward are not. Whatever upgrades you decide upon, it’s important to act quickly, and don’t forget to keep all receipts and invoices as these documents are required in order to claim the credit on your tax return.

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A fundraiser to help impoverished residents of an isolated Liberian community is to take place next month at the Ocean Beach Lounge. Organized by White Rock’s Jen Montgomery, the Feb. 9 evening will include African cuisine, dancing and live and silent auctions, with proceeds to help Montgomery travel to Liberia with the South & West Africa Mission. The two-week trip will be the third of its kind for Montgomery. In 2006, and again in 2007, she travelled on missions to Romania to share her expertise as a clinical counsellor with Bucharest residents still suffering from the reign of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. Montgomery noted Wednesday that Liberia is “a much more dangerous place to go” than Romania; “very unsafe and unstable.” Still, she jumped at the opportunity. “Africa, for some reason, has been in my heart since I was a little girl,” she said. Montgomery is among about eight Peninsula residents on the SWAM team. Others include Christine Patrie, Janet McNally, Anne Elmore, Mary Robson, Kathie Edwards and team leader Lourens Perold. They will travel to a community near Paynesville, where they will provide medical care – from sutures to medication to feeding malnourished babies – to as many people as possible, many of whom may not get another chance to see a doctor this year. The Feb. 9 fundraiser is her last big push to raise the necessary funds to participate. She’s collected about $2,500 already and hopes the night will get her to her $10,000 goal. The money will also help augment medical supplies for the mission and support SWAM. The Ocean Beach Lounge is located at 14995 Marine Dr. Tickets are available at Whitby’s, West Beach Bar & Grill, Parfour Signs and Aru Spa, or by calling 604-2446969. Doors open at 6 p.m.

B.C. to lay off staff, freeze MLAs' pay service will not have increases in salaries,” Campbell said. In a letter to staff, Campbell’s deputy minister Allan Seckel said the layoffs will affect some forest ministry staff, as indicated last year by the government because of the reduction in forest industry activity. Most of the layoffs will occur in Shared Services BC, a department of the Ministry of Citizens’ Services. NDP leader Carole James said Wednesday she supports the idea of a two-year freeze on MLA pay. The final decision is up to a legislative committee with representatives from both parties. MLAs are currently paid a base salary of $101,859 a year, having received two cost-ofliving increases since their 2007 decision to raise base pay by 29 per cent and reinstate their pension plan. The 2007 raise set the premier’s pay at 190 per cent of the basic MLA salary, bringing the current total for Campbell to about $193,000. James makes 150 per cent of the basic MLA salary, the same as a cabinet minister.

VICTORIA – The B.C. government is handing layoff notices to 233 provincial employees in the next round of cost-cutting measures since B.C.’s deficit soared last year. Premier Gordon Campbell said Wednesday he expects the latest round of job cuts to end up similar to the 203 public service positions eliminated in September, with about half of the laid-off employees finding other work in government. After seeking vacant positions in government departments in September, only 106 of them ended up losing their jobs. Campbell also confirmed that B.C. Liberal MLAs agreed this week to forgo cost-of-living pay increases for the next two years, in keeping with a mandate for no net increase in public service wage settlements this year. “We’re in tough financial times, and that’s why we’ve said across the board, MLAs will freeze their salaries over the next couple of years, just as the public

Province looks at domestic violence

OUR BANK WILL COME TO YOU!

Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. government is setting up a domestic violence unit in the Victoria region and examining ways to improve co-ordination and prevention across the province. Public Safety Minister Kash Heed announced the project Monday, in response to calls for reform following the murder-suicide of a family in Oak Bay in September 2007. A coroner’s inquest and a review by B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth found a patchwork of responses to escalating violence that failed to protect family members. Peter Lee was released on bail from a previous assault incident with his estranged wife Sunny Park when he broke into the family home in September of 2007. He stabbed Park to death, along with their six-year-old son Christian Lee and Park’s parents, then killed himself. Children’s representative Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond reviewed the case from

the child’s perspective, and issued a damning report last fall about government agencies’ inability to talk to each other. Heed said he is in discussions with the array of police forces in the Victoria region on setting up a regional unit with two social workers assigned to it. Police will have a common system to flag domestic violence cases for special attention, and a standard set of bail conditions will be created for accused identified as high risks, he said. The B.C. Coroners Service will set up a death review panel in March to examine domestic violence and recommend ways to prevent future crimes. NDP public safety critic Mike Farnworth said the announcement looks like “window dressing,” since police are not yet on side and no significant funding was announced. “What really concerns me is that this government’s very big on making announcements and very poor on followthrough, and very poor on funding,” Farnworth said.

Young playwright not afraid to tackle tragedy Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Contributed photo

Playwright Chelsea Kolenda.

It’s inevitable that budding playwright/actress Chelsea Kolenda should discover drama as her medium. “I’ve always loved writing, and I’ve always loved theatre,” explained the Grade 12 Semiahmoo Secondary student. But there’s another reason her original one-act drama The Attic – first produced at the school as part of a one-act festival last fall – stood out. Although comedy seems to be the preferred idiom for high school

writers, Kolenda instead crafted a sensitive theatre piece about the Holocaust. The show won her special recognition late last year in the Youth Arts Council of Surrey’s Write On 2009 play-writing contest. Kolenda had already won $250 and a chance to have The Attic presented as one of two finalists in the performance night on Nov. 28 at Surrey Arts Centre. But she was stunned when, following the performances, her play was chosen as the overall best show by a panel of previous winners, and the Youth Arts Council’s K.C. Gilroy

presented her with the Write On trophy in its fifth anniversary year. “I was shocked,” Kolenda said. “I’d actually told the other cast back stage ‘you’ve won it.’” The judges gave the edge to the emotional themes of The Attic over the broad comedy of the other finalist, A Twist of Fate, written and directed by Johnston Heights Secondary students Elena Diamantakis and Alexis Tyller. The grave-side black comedy had a large cast – including an angel, a demon, dead people and mourners – who kept the audience entertained with frequent laugh lines

and slapstick humour. But Kolenda said she heard later from one of the judges that what had impressed them about The Attic was the fact a young writer was prepared to deal with tragic themes. Kolenda, a columnist for Semiahmoo’s school newspaper, said she fused all her interests – creative writing, history and acting – in the production, which she also directed, and in which she played the leading role of Ziv. The Attic, set in Nazi Germany, tells the story of a young girl (Kolenda) see page 29

Show includes antique furniture from page 27 collection of multicultural furniture, including antique fans, statues and light fixtures. “When I was in the museum, in the back room prepping for my show, I saw this stuff,” she said. “It’s such a shame to have all this beautiful stuff clothed, wrapped and in storage.” The antiques were donated to the museum by Irene MaccaudNelson, a White Rock resident and collector of worldly treasures, who died in 1978. Museum collections and exhibits co-ordinator Camille Owens said mainly Asian pieces will be shown, such as a Persian lampshade and Buddhist incense burners.

An example of Siemens’ work, combining paint and fabric. “We’re attempting to keep it exotic, looking at combining the artwork – which is quite exotic itself – with some textures and wood and intricate carvings... it should all sort of blend esthetically well,” Owens said. “It will give you that oriental,

national, otherworldly sense, with that strong tie to White Rock because of (MaccaudNelson’s) background.” Siemens said the two collections complement each other, creating a distinct atmosphere. “I think it’s going to be a fun show and really interesting to look at.” The opening reception for Exotique will be held at the museum, 14970 Marine Dr., Jan. 22 from 8 to 10 p.m. Siemens said the evening will feature champagne and chocolate, as well as performances by live dancers.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Success in the cards for poker ace Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

omewhere, in a small town in Germany, an apartment may still be sitting empty. Open the door, and you’ll likely find all the trappings of a regular living space – a couch in the living room, TV in the corner, photos on the wall. Look hard enough, and somewhere you’ll probably find a large duffel bag, stuffed with hockey gear. All of it untouched. “I had an apartment full of things, had everything there. But my mom got sick, so I just grabbed my keys and came home,” poker champ Greg Mueller said. That was a decade ago. “I’ve never been back.” ••• A lot has happened in the 10 years since. Mueller’s mother, whose battle with breast cancer prompted his flight back to the Peninsula in the first place, passed away; which in turn led him to give up his professional hockey career for the recleague variety; and he picked up a new game, too: Poker. Before coming home in '99, Mueller, 38, spent nearly 10 years in the German professional leagues, where he’d played since going overseas at 19. While with a team in Munich, he even played in the Spengler Cup – the annual Christmastime tournament that pits Canada’s national team against some of Europe’s best clubs. But the South Surrey resident, who was born in Germany, emigrated to the Peninsula with his family as a toddler and played “pretty much every sport except baseball and basketball,” gave it all up and moved home in order to be with his family. Went all in, you could say. “(Europe) was awesome, just an awesome experience... but I just lost the passion to play after that,” he said. He dabbled in a few different jobs upon his return home – including acting, where he’s landed a few commercials – but mostly spent time with his father, who along with his mother, was the original owner of Moby Dick Restaurant on Marine Drive. His father eventually sold the restaurant to a friend, and it was about that time that Mueller took a serious interest in poker. He was no stranger to the game, having spent many a long road trip playing the game with his hockey teammates. “That’s where I learned to play cards, at the back of the bus, having a couple beers,” said Mueller. “And I’ve always had a knack for thinking games.” He also has a knack for reading people, as

Greg Mueller, with his World Series of Poker bracelets – and the cards that won them. evidenced by the $1.7 million he’s won at events across the world, and highlighted by two World Series of Poker bracelets he won last summer. “I’m more of a live player, as opposed to online, where you’re playing the percentages and the stats,” Mueller explained. “I’d rather look at a guy, talk to him, and see if he’s got the hand or not. People make

the mistake of talking to me, and they end up giving away a lot of information. “There are books and videos out there, but I’m the wrong guy for books. I just go out there and a lot of it’s instincts. Sometimes I’ll have two kings and I’ll make a real thin call for all my chips, and sometimes I just get rid of it. My instincts are pretty good.” Are they ever. Mueller has parlayed his

success at the tables into a number of business ventures, including an ownership stake in the popular Players Chophouse in downtown Vancouver. Though Mueller’s natural competitive instincts often take over during a game, he said staying composed is important. It’s a lesson he learned – where else? – on the hockey rink. “With poker, a lot of it is ego. If I bluff you, you want to call just to show me that I can’t bluff you, but then maybe I’m not bluffing, and you get beat,” he said. “It’s just like in hockey. If you get an elbow from a guy, you can’t just punch him in the face or you’re going to take a penalty and hurt your team. You have to wait for the right time to get him back.” His competitive streak served him well last summer, when he captured his first WSOP bracelet. ❝A lot of it is Mueller was playing at the final table when ego. If I bluff he bluffed another you, you want player, who bought it to call just to and folded a big hand. Mueller, of course, show me that I showed him what he can't.❞ had – nothing. Greg Mueller “He was a really nice poker player guy, so I felt a little bad, but he got so rattled. He would’ve had me, and then he got so mad that for the next two or three hands he was playing on emotions, and I took all his chips.” Such an act can backfire, however, Mueller cautioned. One instance that sticks in his mind is the first time he sat across from poker great Phil (“Poker Brat”) Hellmuth. “I remember that I bluffed him, and he said, ‘You hockey players are aggressive. I’m going to teach you a lesson.’ “But last summer, when I won my first bracelet, he came over and gave me a big hug. He’s a great guy.” And even with all his success – all the pocket aces, successful bluffs and big pots – it’s the two World Series wins that Mueller holds most dear. “The World Series is like the Cadillac of poker tournaments,” he said. “And to win a bracelet is like winning the Stanley Cup.” Coincidentally, the famous trophy was present when Mueller won his first bracelet. The World Series, held at the Rio All-Suites Casino, happened to be going on the same week the National Hockey League held its awards show, next door at the Palms. Mueller’s event coincided with an NHL charity tournament at the Rio, at which the see page 34

'On any given day, anybody can win' from page 33 Stanley Cup was on display. “Mats Sundin, Roberto Luongo – they were all playing at the table right beside me... it was so weird to see both my sports coming together like that,” Mueller said. A day later, during his own winner’s ceremony, he experienced another moment of hockey/ poker synergy. “There were thousands of people there, I had a big Canadian flag behind me, and the anthem was playing... it was pretty cool, and just reminded me of a hockey game,” he said. “It gave me chills, I had goosebumps.” Mueller will hit the road this spring for a number of events, and is hoping for an invite to NBC’s Head’s Up poker tournament, which takes place at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas and will feature the world’s best players alongside celebrities such as Seinfeld’s Jason Alexander and former Major League Baseball pitcher Orel

Hershisher. “There’s always a hotspot, whether it’s Australia or the Bahamas, or Las Vegas, or wherever. You just put up the money and

play,” Mueller said. “If I’d have stuck with hockey, maybe I’d be done by now, but with poker, you can play if you’re 80 years old or 21, in shape or out of

shape, white, black, Asian, male or female... and on any given day, anybody can win. That’s what keeps it entertaining, and I’m just enjoying it.”

soccer scene Semiahmoo United lost a heartbreaker on the soccer field last weekend, falling 1-0 to the Surrey Kixx in U12 girls action. The Kixx currently sit in top spot in the U12 first division. Despite the defeat, Semiahmoo got strong performances from a number of players, including Kristen Fairbairn, Marie Laroche-Nadeau and Courtney Aves.

Shutout win In U16 girls gold division action Sunday at South Surrey Athletic Park, the Semiahmoo Thrashers knocked off Surdel, 3-0. Semiahmoo controlled the play for much of the contest, and led 2-0 by halftime thanks to goals from Misha Basarich and Leia Craig. The second half was much of the same, with the Thrashers thwarting any hint of a Surdel comeback attempt. They made the score 3-0 when defender Morgan Dale found the back of the net with her shot, finishing off a nice pass from fellow defender Michelle Anderson. Viktoria Reiss, Aimee Hayward and Emily Swanson all played well in front of goalkeeper Tanelle Westgard, who earned the shutout.

Nyeem Ahmed. With so many regulars out of the lineup, Div. 1 call-up Alex Benitez helped solidify the PAU defence, which was led by Christian Oskam and Lawrence Vanderark. At midfield, James Stevenson and Scot Barling were solid, as was U21 player Adam Walker. Between the pipes, goalkeeper Mike Atkinson picked up the shutout. Div. 1 coach Ron Stevenson said his team was “very grateful” for the contributions of the U21 players. “Russ has produced a very talented group of players,” he said.

United in victory Peace Arch United’s Div. 1 men’s team scratched out a 2-0 win over their Langley counterparts on the weekend, thanks in part to some reinforcements from PAU’s U21 squad, coached by Russ Rimmer. Peace Arch opened the scoring on a goal from Andrew Mazzone, who was nuisance for Langley defenders all game. The second goal was potted by Dylan Rimmer. Drew Foster and Daniel Campagne had excellent games, as did

Rivalry renewed at Onion Cup Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at least a decade â&#x20AC;&#x201C; since the Bayside Sharks and Surrey Beavers had an official showdown for the Onion Cup, but the two rugby squads are set to renew the rivalry Saturday at South Surrey Athletic Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember playing in a lot of those games when I was 18, 19 years old,â&#x20AC;? said Bayside premier team assistant coach Chris Veslemes, now 31. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long time since weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played for it.â&#x20AC;? The Onion Cup originated as a way to honour the memory of Paul Iannone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; nicknamed Onion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who played for both clubs. The annual grudge match fizzled out in recent years, now that both sides play in different leagues. The only match-ups in recent memory are a seven-a-side game in the summer of 2008, and an occasional contest at the thirddivision level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The trophy was hanging in our clubhouse for years and

years, but two years ago, Surrey's third (division team) beat us, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got it now,â&#x20AC;? Veslemes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we want it back.â&#x20AC;? Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action

begins at 11:30 a.m. when the third division sides hit the field, followed by the seconds at 1 p.m., and the premier tilt at 2:30 p.m. In conjunction

with the Onion Cup, Saturday is also Baysideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alumni day, in which current and former players are invited to come down to the park.

OBITUARIES

Young, Michael Dalway Watson August 2, 1934 – January 11, 2010. Courageously, at White Rock on January 11, 2010 after an extended illness. Predeceased by wife Barbara Courtney Young in 2008, he is dearly missed by brother Harry Young (Elizabeth), children Maureen Young (Erik Kidd) and Christine Young (Alex Bagley) and grandchildren Adrian, Sofie, Angus, Graeme and Liam. Also sadly missed by stepchildren Claire Smith (Andrew Pollard) and Christopher Smith (Cory Heavener) and grandchildren Ryan and Gabrielle. Born August 2, 1934 in Glasgow, Scotland, Michael emigrated to Canada with his parents and three brothers in 1948. He attended Victoria College and received a law degree from UBC. In 1962, he married Penny Young and returned to Victoria to raise their family. He derived great enjoyment from time with friends and family, especially while fishing and exploring the Southern Gulf Islands. A senior law partner with Straith and Company for 30 years, he also served several terms as City Councillor and was Mayor of Victoria from 1975-1979. Some of his most rewarding years were spent working on the boards of the BC Heritage Trust, BC Ferry Corporation and the National Parole Board. In 1993, he married Barbara and together they spent many happy years playing bridge, entertaining friends and traveling. His life was greatly enriched by the friends he met during his many years as a Rotarian both in Victoria and most recently in White Rock. He was a devoted Grandfather and loving father and husband. He tirelessly pursued a life of community service and approached everything he did with diplomacy and grace. He has been an inspiration. We will all miss him very much. Thanks to his friends and family for the endless support you have given during this difficult time. Special thanks also to his physicians and nurses at Surrey Memorial and Peace Arch Hospital. A celebration of Michael’s life will be held at the Union Club of Victoria on January 31st, at 2:00 pm. An open house will follow in White Rock on February 7. Please contact Maureen at youngkidd@telus.net for details. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Rotary’s Rec for Kids Society (www.recforkids.com) or the Rotary Foundation of Canada (www.trfcanada.org).
