Violence overshadows summit’s many messages, says Const. Troy Derrick

G20 officers return from the frontlines Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

In the aftermath of the G20 summit, many conversations are dwelling on the weekend’s widely broadcast violence. But Peninsula police officers tasked to assist with event security say clips and photographs that made the news did not paint the whole picture, and that harmed the weekend’s focus for all sides. “What were the beliefs? Do you remember any of

them?” asked Troy Derrick, a South Surrey constable who served as a perimeter guard in Toronto. “Can you give me five protests that were there? Can you give me five points that the summit was about? Ask the general public that. No, because what do you remember about the summit? The riots. “It’s pretty sad.” The G20, established in 1999, is intended as a forum for international leaders to discuss and strengthen the world’s economic stability. It comprises finance minis-

ters and central bank governors from 19 countries and the European Union. Derrick and fellow South Surrey officers Const. John Tsonos and Staff Sgt. Scott Campbell, along with White Rock Const. Ryan Koskela, were among thousands of police officers from across Canada deployed to protect dignitaries, the public and the protesters. Newscasts from the weekend have largely focused on protests that got out of hand starting Saturday see page 4

Girl, 11 seriously injured in crash

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

An 11-year-old South Surrey girl was airlifted to hospital with serious head injuries Tuesday afternoon, following a three-vehicle crash on 24 Avenue at 156 Street. According to witnesses, the girl was a backseat passenger in a westbound Toyota Tercel that was turning left onto 156 Street from 24 Avenue when it was struck by an eastbound Nissan around 1 p.m. Impact crushed the Toyota’s right rear passenger side and spun the vehicle. It came to a rest facing east, its nose against the driver side of a north-facing Chevy van that was stopped at a red light. The Nissan came to a rest on the sidewalk of the intersection’s southeast corner. Passerby Mia Mendes was crossing the road with her three-yearold son, Max, when the collision occurred. She heard the impact, but didn’t see the crash itself, she said. Referring to the girl and two older women who were in the Toyota, Mendes said an occupant of the Nissan “came running right away to see if they were OK.”

Emergency crews try to comfort a 52-year-old passenger who was seated in front of a seriously injured girl. “He said somebody in the back seat is not responding,” she said. To her son, Mendes said, “Let’s just say a prayer that everybody’s fine.” Five ambulances responded to the scene, along with at least five police cars. The girl was airlifted from the Wal-Mart parking lot nearby. She remained listed in serious condition Wednesday, as of Peace Arch News’ holiday press time. One of the two women in the

Toyota, a 52-year-old passenger from Alberta, was taken by ambulance to hospital with neck injuries. She was conscious at the scene. The 61-year-old driver, a South Surrey resident, was able to walk from the vehicle and was escorted by a paramedic to an ambulance. Occupants of the Nissan – a driver in his 20s and another young man, both from South Surrey – did not appear to be injured. Prior to being interviewed by an officer, one was

visibly upset, being consoled by a man who arrived on the scene. Police also spoke to several bystanders, looking for witnesses. They blocked eastbound traffic between King George Boulevard and 157 Street, and 156 Street between 24 Avenue and King George for at least five hours. The next morning, broken glass from the crash remained strewn at the intersection. Investigation is ongoing.

Semiahmoo Shopping Centre has a new owner. It was confirmed at Peace Arch News’ press time Wednesday that the South Surrey shopping centre had been sold for an unspecified sum to First Capital Realty by its previous owners, Bosa Development Corporation. The shopping centre is currently undergoing a $7-million renovation and expansion – due for completion at the end of the year – including an 18,500-sq.-ft. free-standing building that will be the new location of Shoppers Drug Mart, and a 7,200-sq.-ft. government liquor store. Bosa Development has been renovating the centre after cancellation of an earlier plan to redevelop the property to include six residential highrise towers – ranging in height from 18 to 36 storeys – which fell afoul of the recession two years ago. First Capital’s Michael Lowe and Bosa Development’s Richard Weir were both unavailable for comment at press time.

There are no detailed plans to expand SkyTrain to serve more of Surrey, although the province has said that SkyTrain will eventually be extended to Fleetwood. There is no specific cost for this expansion, which was announced at a time when provincial finances were in much better shape. Bond is discussing stability of transit financing with council members, and this is of key importance if Surrey and other South Fraser areas are ever to get better transit. There is no use establishing a new bus route if it gets cancelled after a year or two because it isn’t attracting enough riders. It takes time for people to change their transportation patterns. They must be convinced that it makes sense to use the bus to get to and from work and other activities. During the Winter Olympics, far more people in Surrey used the transit system, and if service was offered at that level all the time, they would continue using it. But for that to happen, the provincial and federal governments must be prepared to guarantee stable funding for transit, year after year. Bond is hearing that message from council members, and hopefully she and her government will respond positively. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for the Peace Arch News.

news No process to designate for protection, says Sinclair

City takes tree-by-tree stand on heritage Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Coun. Lynne Sinclair is out to give White Rock’s tree bylaw more teeth in protecting “heritage” trees – generally classed as such by virtue of age, uniqueness, historical significance or landmark status. Council this week adopted Sinclair’s motion that staff bring forward the process by which the city can designate heritage trees. The motion also asked staff to submit a list of proposed heritage trees for council adoption – and Sinclair had several suggestions, including the elms around the oldest houses on Elm Street, the oaks

on the White Rock Elementary grounds and the ivy tree at Five Corners. “The tree bylaw defines heritage trees, but we have to have a process for them to be designated; something to ensure that they are protected and excluded from other designations, such as nuisance trees,” she said Wednesday. Once designated, the trees could not be cut down unless it could be demonstrated that they were hazardous, she said. “There are some trees the community feels strongly about,” she added, recalling that the ivy tree at Five Corners was the object of a

protest during the 1980s in which a resident chained herself to the tree to stop it being felled. The oak trees at White Rock Elementary are designated as a “significant stand of trees” at present, she noted, which would not necessarily prevent them from being cut in future if Surrey school district were to enter a partnership to redevelop some of the school lands, as has been discussed in the past. “I’d rather we had a process in place and a clear understanding before things like this start to happen,” she said. “It’s putting in the regulatory parts of the bylaw, which usually flows from new legislation.

Brian Giebelhaus photo

Elm Street trees get attention. “If we don’t flag these issues, they’re likely to occur right away. This is a way to avoid misunderstandings and unnecessary grief.” Sinclair argued at Monday’s meeting that while there is a perception that certain trees in White Rock are considered heritage, it seems

there has been no formal designation on record. “I’ve asked staff for a list, and it appears there is no list,” Sinclair told council. Development services director Paul Stanton confirmed to Peace Arch News that staff would be preparing a list of potential heritage trees for designation as a result of Sinclair’s motion, although he added this would probably not return to council until September. Stanton noted there is a council policy that has been on the books since 2000 under which “any citizen may apply to the city for registration and designation of heritage trees.”

Bill Vander Zalm unloads Surrey-White Rock’s contribution to the 85 boxes filled with petitions at the Elections BC office in Victoria Wednesday.

Fight continues until new tax rescinded, says Vander Zalm

Anti-HST petitions arrive in Victoria Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – As supporters cheered and chanted “recall, recall,” former premier Bill Vander Zalm delivered a truckload of petitions to the Elections BC office Wednesday calling for the B.C. Liberal government to “extinguish” the harmonized sales tax. Surrounded by media and clearly enjoying the moment, Vander Zalm drove up in a rented cube van and began unloading 85 boxes of petitions, one for each constituency in the province. Petition organizers are confident that they have enough signatures from eligible voters to force the government to repeal the HST or put it to a province-wide vote. “Your job still is not finished yet, because the government still hasn’t said they’ll end the

HST,” Vander Zalm told supporters. “And until they say, we’ll eliminate, we’ll end, we’ll get rid of the HST, we’re going to keep on fighting.” He also referred to a legal challenge to the petition filed Tuesday by business and industry groups who will benefit from the tax effective July 1. B.C.’s chief electoral officer approved the petition under B.C.’s recall and initiative law, and the Fight HST organization is getting its own legal advice on the government’s conduct during the petition drive, he said. “The big corporations, working with government, can challenge us all they want,” Vander Zalm said. “They’ll never beat the people.” Premier Gordon Campbell said Wednesday his government had no input into the last-

minute court action, and had earlier decided to let the petition process unfold according to the legislation. Campbell said he will be speaking to people around the province this summer to explain why the government suddenly embraced the HST last summer, and the impact of personal and business tax cuts that are also coming into effect this year and next. “Those who are benefiting tend to be quiet and those who feel like they may have to pay some additional tax tend to be very noisy about it,” Campbell said. An Ipsos-Reid survey June 26 showed 78 per cent of B.C. residents opposed the HST, with 65 per cent describing themselves as “strongly opposed” and planning to alter their consumer spending as a result.

Details of White Rock council’s remuneration and expenses for last year were released this week as part of the city’s financial statement for the year ending Dec. 31, 2009. They show Mayor Catherine Ferguson earned $56,586 and claimed $4,229 in expenses. Couns. Mary-Wade Anderson, Al Campbell, Helen Fathers, Doug McLean and Lynne Sinclair were all paid $26,572. Highest expenses of this group were claimed by Sinclair ($6,041), followed by Fathers ($5,157), Campbell ($4,134) and McLean ($3,692). Former councillor James Coleridge, whose election was overturned by a B.C. Supreme Court decision in May 2009, received $11,027 in wages and spent $1,704. Coun. Grant Meyer, who was elected in October to fill the vacated seat, earned $6,746 and claimed no expenses in 2009. The statement also disclosed Campbell’s employer, Imperial Paving, received three contracts for transportation and pedestriansafety improvements in 2009, totalling $887,292. Financial services director Sandra Kurylo noted Campbell “declared a conflict of interest and excused himself from the council meeting when these items were addressed.”

Fire sale White Rock Fire Rescue Services will have two new vehicles, following council approval this week. A new vehicle – valued at $447,612 – is in the current five-year financial plan to replace the department’s 20-year-old Engine 2. A utility van is also to be replaced with a compressed-air foam-equipped unit, at a cost of $235,000. In a report, fire Chief Phil Lemire said the vehicle would provide greater depth and versatility in pumping capacity, a smaller four-wheel drive more suitable for adverse weather, and increased apparatus capacities.

Officers ‘a part of history’ Summit in Kananaskis and the 2009 Francophone summit in Quebec. In Toronto, Campbell’s mandate was much like that of his staff-sergeant role here – organizing officers, identifying problems and ensuring adequate resources for the job at hand. Tsonos was assigned to security of various motorcades and buses connected to the summit, ensuring VIP and delegate vehicles and luggage passed through safely and were not tampered with. Originally from Ontario, Tsonos described the G20 experience as “quite the adventure.” The city’s secure area was like a ghost town, he said. He escorted dignitaries including German Chancellor Angela Merkel; and he was on hand when Air Force One touched down, a sight he described as “amazing.” The Japanese delegates were “very friendly,” he added. At the same time, the atmosphere was intense, the officers said. “You’re always on high alert, especially with what we did,” Tsonos said. Derrick described a constant sense of anxiety: “There was… always a sense of being on your guard, always a sense of knowing that something could happen and a sense of nervousness. “That’s what kept you awake and kept you on your toes all the time.” Both Tsonos and Derrick lauded the camaraderie of the experience. For Tsonos, who became an officer 19 months ago, it was a realization of just how expansive the RCMP ‘family’ is. For Derrick, it was bearing witness to the joining of every police force in the country for a common interest and goal. It was also a chance to be part of history, Derrick said. Despite the turn of events, he does not regret his role. “You want to be part of these things. In my sense, it’s a part of Canadian history. I can say I was there.”

from page 1 afternoon. By the summit’s close Sunday, police cars had been torched, about 900 people arrested and the city’s financial district seriously vandalized. Toronto Mayor David Miller – in a press conference Saturday – condemned the actions as the work of criminals, and commended police response. Noting protesters attempting to breach the security lines “didn’t have a chance,” Derrick agreed municipal officers on the frontline did the job they were assigned to do. And, despite reports, they did it well, he said. “It was definitely not as near as offthe-wall as (the media) made it look,” he said. “Based on what we’re trained to do, nothing was done that was out of training. Everyone did what they needed to do. “Something an older member told me there: the only wrong decision is indecision. You need to make a choice when you’re there. If you make a choice, you have a chance of 50-50 being right or wrong. But indecision means you made no choice, which means you made no effort. “That’s something I came back with, and I think that’s going to help me with the rest of my career, just thinking that way.” Derrick was posted near the CN Tower, on a bridge overlooking the rail tracks. As a perimeter guard, he helped monitor the passage of motorcades through the security gate and ensure only those accredited to be inside the fence got through.

editorial

Getting out of HST quagmire espite the intense pressure of the Fight HST petition campaign and the first defection of a government MLA, it’s still tough to imagine the B.C. Liberals willingly scrapping the Harmonized Sales Tax. Prior to the merged 12 per cent tax coming into effect yesterday (July 1), it was already being added to purchases of airline tickets and some utility bills. Economists generally agree the tax is good policy – removing the PST businesses pay on their inputs will help them compete with other jurisdictions and should spur economic growth and job creation. Yet, there are unfortunate effects, too. A burgeoning black market economy by HST avoiders is likely. The loss of control of tax policy leaves B.C. unable to exempt socially beneficial purchases. And the tax hits some groups of businesses, notably restaurants, harder than others. Still, the HST appears to be a cake that will be difficult – and possibly unwise – to unbake. An extended political fight that drags on for years will be an unproductive expenditure of B.C.’s energy and cast a cloud of uncertainty over our investment climate. Voters will get their chance to punish the Liberals in the next election. But if the HST is here to stay, what else can be done to make it more equitable now? Keep in mind the HST, at its core, is the elimination of $2 billion in taxes paid by businesses. Some of that burden will shift onto consumers, although how much depends on the degree to which businesses pass along their savings. Meanwhile, government has steadily chopped corporate income tax rates. Larger corporations now pay 10.5 per cent, down from 13.5 in 2005. The small-business income tax rate was dropped from 4.5 per cent to 2.5 per cent in 2008. And the B.C. Liberals twice raised the dividing line between small and big businesses, so more firms qualify for the lower rate. If this government – or the next – wants to sweeten the bitter HST pill, it could engineer a reverse shift. Bump corporate tax rates a notch higher lower personal income tax rates. The province has already sought to ease the HST pain to consumers by converting all new money B.C. will get from the tax into personal income tax cuts and credits. No doubt, businesses will not be fond of giving back some of their HST gains, however, it could be the salvation of the tax reform they support, and a way out of the present quagmire.

yes 30% no 70% 94 responding look like the chicken I was becoming. So I confess: I get motion sickness. Yes, I was all but incapacitated a few years back after spending an hour on a docked cruise ship. That’s right, docked. And here I was, about to settle into a space smaller than my hall closet. Yeah, this oughta go well. But it didn’t sway Sandquist, although I’m sure the thought of my lunch replaying in her ‘office’ didn’t appeal in the least. After a slightly nervous check as to the chopper’s supply of air-sickness bags – none, by the way – we were off. Fortunately, that new Gravol with organic ginger worked, and I was good for just over an hour. Long enough to get a new perspective on the Semiahmoo Peninsula and other areas. And it was a pretty cool view, a cocktail of landscape and development intermixed with the daily comings and goings of those who call the Lower Mainland home. There was the winding Serpentine River, and the orange glow of the sun setting in the west. There were police cars gathered on a Burnaby street, and a massive estate under construction on the bluff overlooking Crescent Beach – the latter a sight hidden from the ground. My flight may not have had a lot of action – no arrests or rescues – but it gave a glimpse into the value of having an eye in the sky watching over us. Enough that I’ve almost forgotten about that question Sandquist asked at the outset. Almost. On that note, I think it’s time to add another gym day to my week.

Patients no longer silent Editor: Re: Falcon promises family physicians for all, June 25. This article about the announcement by Minister of Health Kevin Falcon provided valuable information about the exciting changes happening in primary care, with White Rock being one of the areas where local physicians are taking a lead role in beginning to initiate the changes. I think it is very important to comment on the involvement of Patient Voices Network in this initiative. I believe involvement of patients in redesigning and building a better health-care system is not only precedent-setting but a key indicator that physicians, government and health authorities recognize the power and the importance of the patients’ voice. They have taken the unprecedented step of asking us – the patient, the consumer – to help design this transformative change. For example, as a patient advisor for Patient Voices Network I and many of my fellow PVN members were recently invited to attend and provide input at a BCMA-sponsored workshop on primary care and physician attachment. Both patients and doctors shared their ideas, concerns and frustrations with the present health system, and discussed positive plans for the future of primary care in B.C. Guess what. We all – patients and doctors – had very similar concerns, frustrations, ideas and hopes for the future of health care. I truly believe systemic change in health care can only happen when the major parties come together collaboratively to plan that change. Patients are one of the major parties whose voice has been silent during so many failed changes. We are no longer silent. We have a voice in Patient Voices Network, a solution-focused organization that empowers us as patients and provides a forum for “the consumer” to be an equal partner in health-care redesign. Politics aside, the fact both the Ministry of Health and the BC Medical Association has recognized and requested to hear our voice – and listen to and value it – must be celebrated.

White Rock council’s decision to allow trees to be replaced on an Everall Street development has come under fire.

Growing concern in White Rock Editor: Re: Tree bylaw splits CPR-endorsed councillors, June 25 White Rock’s tree bylaw is clearly not working. The first infraction has not had a remotely satisfying result. Coun. Al ‘Asphalt’ Campbell’s assertion that two small trees could equitably replace much larger trees is as abominable as his reference to trees as timbers, and displays his contempt for those objects that get in the way of his paving machines. He has continually failed to express any valid thoughts regarding trees; asphalt, yes. It is equally not surprising Coun. Lynne Sinclair finds the Everall Street developer to be “flexible,” particularly as city development-services director Paul Stanton, I am certain, has done an outstanding job convincing developer and councillor alike that innovation is not a requirement where a mediocre revision that appeals to the correct political resolve will do. Downscaling as flexibility be damned, design changes to suit the specifics of the space would indicate considerable flexibility. How does the Everall Street proposal protect trees on a site that has particularly outstanding trees? I anticipated a leadership position from Coun. Doug McLean but was once again disappointed. Thank you, Coun. Helen Fathers, for being faithful to the CPR charter which put you all in office in the first place. To correct Campbell, no one attended the public meeting for this project revision; furthermore, two dissenting letters were submitted by the public. Make no mistakes, the public will not identify CPR candidates as anti-development, particularly when the current rostrum seem so avid to belie the point with shabby resolve and nonsensical doublespeak – even if it entails low-cost housing. Citizens for Positive Renewal is dead and dies another death every time environment injustice is enacted. B. Belec, White Rock Q After three years of plodding and poking, the City of White Rock passed a flawed tree-management bylaw. For one, the name of the bylaw doesn’t have anything to do with preservation, and the city never conducted a baseline or true inventory of variety of tree species, something a city as large as Surrey did do. It did, however, expand areas in which a process must

now be followed, along with significant fees, to remove trees in the city. Hardly a tree-preservation bylaw. It now gives most authority for allowing deforestation to occur to what little tree canopy is left in White Rock to its department of development services, a body concerned with higher densities – despite White Rock having the third-highest density in the Metro region. It even tries to make believe that planting tree saplings replaces 60- to 95-year-old trees and pretends that this measure maintains White Rock’s tree canopy. Nothing can be further from the truth. Take, for instance, just a few short days after passing the bylaw, council, with hardly a blush, passed first and second reading of a development proposal in which 12 healthy, very large trees are to be cut down to make way for more density. This proposed development exists in an area which, under the old tree bylaw, was designated a “significant stand of trees.” These 12 trees, some over 35 metres in height and almost a metre in diameter, will be replaced, as the staff report suggests, by 21 trees. It’s as if planting 21 saplings replaces 12 trees with a total age of more than 1,000 years. If these trees are removed, they leave neighbouring trees vulnerable to extreme weather. Like a row of dominoes, when one is slightly pushed the others eventually fall. These trees did not grow independently from one another nor with any thought to property lines. These trees grew together, their roots intertwined. There is a disconnect here and councillors should let residents know if they consider these large trees, many which were saplings themselves when the Semiahmoo Peninsula had only 800 residents, an asset for so many reasons, or just something in the way of progress. This present council, many who campaigned on saving trees in the city, have let residents down, and for what? Many land owners in this area do not live in White Rock and are holding the property for higher density. The current zoning allows for single-family housing, however, poor OCP planning allowed this area, which had a tree-protection designation, to be developed for a much higher density than the area could handle. Why is council, while decreasing density in the town centre, so eager to increase it in other areas? Phil Le Good, White Rock

news White Rock council earmarks $10,000 for Legacies Now program

City seeks cultural grant Alex Browne Staff Reporter

White Rock is ante-ing up $10,000 for its application for a Creative Communities Cultural Mapping Grant under the 2010 Legacies Now program. Council agreed to submit the application, recommended in a report from leisure services director Rita Clarkson, at its June 28 meeting. She said developing a “cultural map” would be the first phase in developing a cultural plan for White Rock in partnership with the Community Arts Council. Among objectives of the map – an outgrowth of last fall’s citysponsored Conversation on the Arts – would be addressing

lack of cohesiveness and mapping grants. “It’s time to move the connectiveness between stakeholders in arts arts forward in this city and culture, increasing and build on the social and economic impact awareness and support of the arts, and closing the arts have,” she said Wednesday, noting that gaps and eliminating duplication in services the map would tie into provided by community plans for revitalization, groups and the city. investment and tourism It would also identify ❝The arts are strategies for the city. “The arts are all we’ve cultural assets and all we’ve got got left in White Rock,” assess population left in White she added. “We’ve demographics and Rock.❞ trends in relation to the diverted so far away arts. from them, it’s time that Helen Fathers we come back.” Coun.

Taser charges reconsidered Jeff Nagel Black Press

Criminal charges will be reconsidered against RCMP officers who tasered Robert Dziekanski, a special prosecutor has decided. Richard Peck, in a preliminary review of the case, concluded Tuesday the Crown should reopen its decision not to charge the four officers involved in the October 2007 death of the Polish immigrant at Vancouver International airport. He found the Braidwood Inquiry uncovered factual material unavailable at the time of the initial charge assessment, including expert video analysis and expert opinions on the reasonableness of the escalation

and de-escalation of force. Peck will continue as independent special prosecutor in the case. He will decide exactly what – if any – charges should be laid and against which officers, leading any resulting prosecution through the courts. Peck’s mandate indicates RCMP officers could be prosecuted not just for their actions at the airport, but also their subsequent statements to investigators and their testimony at the Braidwood Inquiry. That opens up potential charges of perjury or obstructing justice, according to SFU criminologist Rob Gordon, adding that may be easier to prove than criminal intent in Dziekanski’s death. Cpl. Benjamin “Monty”

Robinson is suspended pending a 2011 trial on charges of attempting to obstruct justice in relation to a 2008 crash that killed a motorcyclist in Delta. The other three officers in the YVR incident – Const. Kwesi Millington, Const. Bill Bentley and Const. Gerry Rundel – remain with the force but not on operational duties. Special prosecutors are appointed in rare cases to avoid any improper influence on decisions of B.C.’s criminal justice branch. Justice Thomas Braidwood, in his report released June 18, found the officers’ use of the Taser unjustified and their later statements included “deliberate misrepresentations” that contradicted video evidence.

Batting cages get $10,000 boost Alex Browne Staff Reporter

The City of White Rock is pitching in $10,000 to aid in renovations of White Rock South Surrey Baseball Association’s batting cages at Centennial Park. But council stopped short of using the June 21 decision to authorize a draft policy for the city’s contributions to further capital projects on city lands. In comments to leisure-services director Rita Clarkson’s report – which recommended

the move – city manager Peggy Clark noted the city “does not have a policy outlining when the city will share in capital costs of projects and has made decisions on a project by project basis.” Clark told council it would be difficult to draft a policy since projects requesting city contributions can vary all the way from “the Centre for Active Living to batting cages.” Clarkson reported the renovations to the batting cages – including a new roof – were

proposed by the WRSSBA after they were damaged by a heavy snowfall in 2007. The association and the city split the cost at that time, since the association did not have necessary funds to proceed with the $40,000 renovation. The association was requesting a city contribution of $20,000 to the renovation, but Clarkson, who noted the association has now contributed $34,000 to the project, suggested $10,000 as an ample signal of city support.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Earl Marriott student eyes career in different kind of circus

With the greatest of ease… Jennifer Cox

Special to Peace Arch News

ook up in the sky – it’s a bird, it’s a plane… no, it’s Brook Pinard, an aerial silk and swinging trapeze student at the Vancouver Circus School. The 14-year-old Earl Marriott Secondary student (and this writer’s goddaughter) has been a daredevil from the time she was a toddler, climbing up walls, doorways and even people – much to her grandmother’s chagrin! Her energy was channelled into gymnastics and then circus school, and her hard work paid off this spring when she was accepted into an incredibly exclusive summer camp at the National Circus School in Montreal. Despite the fact Brook holds a special place in my heart for personal reasons, after speaking with her coaches it’s obvious I’m not the only one who is a fan. Meregon Kiddo is the head recreational aerial silk instructor at the Vancouver Circus School and has been Jennifer Cox training Brook for the last three years. “She wants a life of performing so badly,” Kiddo said. “She wants it more than anyone I’ve ever seen, and that’s what motivates me to be the best possible coach I can be. I want to give her everything she wants because she works so hard.” Brook’s upcoming curriculum at the National Circus School in Montreal this month will be more intense than her current two-times-a-week routine. The program is one week, six hours a day, and will touch on a wide range of performance skills, with everything from learning physical techniques such as conditioning, flexibility, acrobatics, trampoline and “powertrack,” to receiving an introduction to such circus arts as aerials, manipulation and balancing. There are also acting workshops that culminate in a performance in front of an audience at the end of the week. “I am really excited at the fact that she is going to be able to explore other avenues of circus,” Kiddo said. “It’s important to see what else is out there other than the coaching I’ve been offering her, and although I don’t know specifically what the program offers, I do know the school is highly regarded and that it’s very exclusive. The fact that she got in is very impressive.” The National Circus School runs two summer camp sessions and only admits 35 students into each one. Kids aged nine-12 or 13-17 from around the world apply to this elite program. The application process entails filling

Contemporary Dental Care for the whole family!

I am very happy in my second marriage of 20 years. I have a will that gives everything to my wife, but if she predeceases me, my estate goes to my children. She has done an identical will but if I die before her, her whole estate goes to her children. In order to make probate easier, we have put all our assets in joint names with the right of survivorship. Do you see any problems with this planning?

WHITE ROCK DENTAL CLINIC

There are so many consequences of your approach that I will devote two or three columns to the issues raised. 1st: “...we have put all our assets in joint names with the right of survivorship.” If all your assets are in joint names then immediately upon the death of the Àrst of you, without anything more, the assets devolve by operation of law to the survivor of you two. The estate of the person who dies Àrst has no assets in his/her estate and therefore there is no need to probate that pre-deceased person’s will. The survivor can give the assets that he or she receives without obligation to anyone. He/she can give them to his/her new spouse, or to his/her own children, to the exclusion of the children of the predeceased spouse. Very expensive and very chancy litigation based on the trust laws might, in special circumstances, give some relief, but the point of planning is to avoid a lawsuit. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

City pioneer passionate about politics, parks from page 12 my father did as a builder.” After graduating from Blaine High School – no high school existed in White Rock at the time – Don was hired at Surrey City Hall until he joined the armed forces during the Second World War. After discharge from the RCAF, he returned to his Surrey job until he was appointed White Rock postmaster in December 1946, a position he held for 34 years. One of his best jobrelated anecdotes was, “When a local business partnership dissolved, both men came to me asking to retain the business postal box. I knew one of the partners had served a prison term for murder. You can guess which one got the box.” Like all post-war communities, White Rock was anxious to get on with life. And so was Don. He started a family, and joined service and recreational clubs. A new post office was in the works, and while it was being constructed (the threestorey brick building at the foot of the pier), Don conducted post office business from the Legion building on the pier. He also became involved with the Kinsmen in enlarging the tiny library at the foot of the pier, and was one of the charter members of the first White Rock Historical Society. Don did not always take the popular way. His interest in politics blossomed when talk of White Rock incorporation intensified. He thought the terms were not well thought out. “My point was, why such a confined area? Why did we not consider the whole Peninsula… If a lesser area was to be considered then, at least, to the height of land so that we controlled our watershed.” Today, people are still wondering why such a confined area. In the 1950s, Don served six years on the parks board, part of the time as chairman. One of his little known accomplishments is that he was instrumental in acquiring Surrey’s legendary parks administrator Bob

Nicholson to organize Surrey’s haphazard parks system, which embroiled him in a sensational controversy. Don Munro was a sincere man of honour,

a gentleman. At nearly 91, he left us to manage on our own, knowing, we hope, that he will be missed. The Peninsula’s bestknown mother-and-son

historians, Lorraine and Hugh Ellenwood, are dedicated to preserving local history through the White Rock Museum & Archives. If you want to learn

A decision on whether to incinerate garbage, or continue putting it in landfills like the one shown here, should be made this summer. to do with the scale issue.” Deal believes mass-burn incineration, if kept in the mix of waste-toenergy options, will ultimately win because it will be much cheaper to build one big conventional burner. That would shut out the potential for a number of smaller scale waste-to-energy plants using the alternative technologies that Deal argues may make better use of garbage as a resource.

Doubts grow Vancouver’s reticence to rubber stamp the draft isn’t the only crack in what had been a near-united front to pursue waste-to-energy. City of Coquitlam officials have also tabled a report critical of Met-

ro’s process, questioning the focus on incineration and casting doubt on estimates of much lower costs. Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart says he may vote against the current draft plan. “I’ve got some real difficulty with the way we seem to be approaching this really significant issue,” he said. One of the frustrations is Metro’s plan doesn’t specify exactly what waste-to-energy technology would be used or where a new plant would be built – both critical to determining local impacts. Instead, those are to be determined after the plan is approved in a later competitive bidding process.

“That’s among the flaws of this process,” Stewart said. “You have to submit a plan and only then can you begin to figure out what the plan really is.” Waste management committee chair Greg Moore, the mayor of Port Coquitlam, denies Metro’s consultations favour incineration. He maintains Metro’s presentations at public meetings focused on that option because officials knew it was intensely controversial and wanted to ensure questions were answered. Moore predicts some changes will be made to the plan. If the committee wants to eliminate incineration as an option, he said, it will have to decide whether it’s feasible to rely on alternative waste-to-energy options, some of which claim big advantages but with little to no track record. “If you’re going to eliminate incineration, do the other technologies have the capability of taking on the amount of garbage we need to get rid of?” He said the public has been “very passionate” about reducing garbage, and the committee might well recommend a more aggressive diversion target. The draft plan commits the region to raise the recycling rate from 55 to 70 per cent by 2015, when the plan is to be reviewed. Most of the gains are to come from diverting more wood and see page 19

Facial rejuvenation is the latest buzzword in the topic of maintaining a youthful appearance. There is a lot of talk about Botox and Dermal Fillers and their effects on diminishing facial wrinkles. While there is certainly a place for these medical wonders, the more fundamental structures of the face deserve other considerations first. A sagging smile or sunken face is often associated with looking old. It is also

As Oral Implantologists, we reconstruct the jaw by not only replacing the numbers of missing teeth, but also by reconstructing the underlying bone whenever possible. Doing so ensures that the new tooth replacement is in the right position for proper function and support of the overlying soft tissue. In the event that it is not possible

commonly the result of missing one or more teeth. Besides their obvious functions in speech and chewing, teeth are essential in holding up the structure of the mouth and lower half of the face. In many cases, loss of teeth will not only diminish that support, but also relate to the loss of surrounding bone. We know that the loss of teeth may lead to a corresponding loss of up to 70% of bone volume in that region within a short time. The resulting net decrease in facial volume may be beyond compensation by any amount of botox or dermal fillers.

lifestyles Surrey man honours family members lost in Air India tragedy 25 years ago

Finding light amid darkness Dan Ferguson Black Press

Shan Rana has nothing in his Surrey home to remind him of the Air India bombing that killed four relatives. There are no photos, no newspaper clippings, no books about the June 23, 1985 explosions that killed all 329 people aboard one Air India flight and two baggage handlers loading another flight. It was a deliberate decision by a quiet, philosophical man determined to maintain emotional balance. “I didn’t keep a shred,” Rana said. “I can’t do anything about it. The history has passed.” It doesn’t mean he has forgotten the loss of his sister-in-law, Shyla Aurora, and his cousin’s son, Inder Thakur, and Inder’s wife, Prya Thakur, and their little boy. He would simply prefer to express his sadness quietly by praying for the souls of the departed and the pain of the people left behind. Last week, on the 25th anniversary of the bombing June

23, Rana went to Surrey’s Guru Nanak Sikh Temple on Scott Road. He is Hindu, not a Sikh, but when Rana heard the temple was planning to honour victims of the bombing, he decided to go. Rana phoned before he went to ask the temple if they would object to a non-Sikh participating in the event. He was welcomed. Rana ended up sitting at the front near temple president Bikramjit Singh Sandhar during the candle-lighting ceremony. There were 331 candles, one for each victim. When Rana took his turn, he thought of his relatives as he ignited the wick. “This is a light for you,” he said to himself. The candle lighting was the end of three days of prayer for the victims that started with the non-stop reading aloud of the Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh holy scriptures. The blasts were arranged by people who wanted revenge against India for a bloody raid on Sikhdom’s holiest shrine, the

Golden Temple in Amritsar. During his address at the memorial ceremony, Sandhar said killing innocents was a violation of Sikh principles, that the faithful should never stoop so low. “I don’t think killing is part of any religion,” Sandhar later said. Rana was moved by the

president’s words. “This was close to my heart,” he said. He was less impressed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s apology the same day to the families of Air India bombing victims. It was good to hear a PM make the admission that Air India was a Canadian tragedy, but it comes after years of neglect by authorities – neglect that hampered the criminal investigation and probably contributed to the failure to convict more than one person, Rana felt. “The system has failed,” Rana

said. “There is no recourse.” Still, he was gratified to hear the prime minister call for a campaign against those who come to Canada still intent on continuing the “blood feuds” of their past homes. “We must have none of it.” Harper said. Rana emphatically agrees. “Leave India to India,” Rana says firmly. He is a proud Canadian who has travelled the world and has seen nothing that can compare to the home he chose in 1969. “It’s the best country in the world.”

TransLink plan red flagged replaced with a new version, which could again see mayors vote on higher fees and taxes. One of the options proposed and shelved last year was to generate $150 million a year by charging an annual vehicle levy that would average $122 per vehicle.

Surrey vs. Vancouver There are growing signs Vancouver and Surrey are jockeying for position to be next in line for rapid transit expansion. Vancouver officials are strongly promoting the need for a new line west on the congested Broadway corridor to UBC. TransLink is studying both that idea and options for rapid transit extension in Surrey – connecting the SkyTrain terminus there to Langley and White Rock.\The transportation authority hasn’t yet decided which extension should get priority. But the Metro board voted June 25 to urge TransLink to pursue the South of Fraser expansion through Surrey next, after the Evergreen Line is built. Vancouver Coun. Raymond Louie tried to amend the motion to put the Broadway extension on equal footing, but the board rejected the idea, saying priority for the Surrey extension fits the region’s current growth strategy.

Novel ‘a compelling coming-of-age story’ Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Lorne S. Jones calls his book, Mighty Oaks, a novel, and there’s no doubt the skills of a novelist have come into play shaping and organizing characters and events into a cohesive story. But the South Surrey writer’s work has the ring of truth in its warts-and-all portrait of a time and place – the small, ramshackle, close-knit community of Toronto Island, Ontario, just a ferry ride away from the big city, in the spring of 1962. And the principal characters are all real people – including Jones himself, the story’s 13 year-old protagonist, and two bona fide Can.

lives, but also a compelling coming-of-age story with lasting resonance. Jone’s keen observation of the often random nature of experience – particularly during our formative years – is allied with a natural story-telling flair that places his book far out of the usual self-published class. And, thanks to his embrace of the flexibility of the publish-on-demand model and online networking opportunities, his book may just connect with people who most need to read it better than if it had been placed with a traditional imprint. Jones said he spent a year writing and researching the book – his sense-memories stirred by reading old Toronto newspapers at Vancouver Public Library – and another see page 24

Films from 21 finalists – selected from 50 contestants – were screened last Friday at Surrey Arts Centre, before winners were announced.

Most entries from South Surrey from page 23 directed and produced by Phoebe Taylor, Andrew Sprung, Kate Kalil, Leighann Christian and Reimer. Best Public Service Announcement and Best Animation were awarded to Enver Creek Secondary. Chua said the most entries came from Peninsula students. “This is the first year where we actually had a lot of films come in from South Surrey.” Chua said he and a friend founded production company MOONLiTE Productions 10 years ago while still in high school, which they used to launch the Surrey High School Film Festival. “Once we graduated from high school we really felt the need to have a place for students to showcase their work.” Chua said the event – which received just 12 submissions in its first year – will continue to evolve. Next year, plans are for it to be expanded to a three-day international film festival, with films from high school students screened the first night, international short films from postsecondary students the second night and feature films the third. “The City of Surrey doesn’t have anything like this right now. It’s just a really good opportunity for (filmmakers) to show their work.” Chua said he’d like to see more high school students participate. “We’re really hoping that these films get a wider audience next year,” he said. “There’s so much creativity and talent

in Surrey that doesn’t really get screened and shown.” As for Newman – who films recreationally – he said

a future in the industry is an option worth considering. “I do enjoy it and I’ve always wanted to do something I enjoy

doing, so I think of it as a definite possibility.” For more information about the Surrey High School Film Festival, visit surreyfilmfest.ca

Good weather and participation by all age groups made the day for organizers of the first Elements of youth event at the skateboard park at the South Surrey Recreation Centre Saturday. Youth programmer Jordan Wiebe said in spite of numbers not reaching the most optimistic forecasts – and some lastminute cancellations by some professional urban artists – the afternoon event was still successful, drawing some 100 people to the park to watch demonstrations of art, dance, skateboarding and BMX riding skills. “It was a great turnout and we had a lot of families there which was awesome to see,” Wiebe said of the event, planned as a positive showcase of hip hop culture and urban art styles. “The youngest participants were toddlers and some grandparents came out, and the families stayed,” he added, noting that a lot of surveys designed to gather information on youth needs were also filled out.

Swimmer prepares for open-water battle Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

hen Richard Weinberger began swimming competitively at age seven, the pool was indoors and distances were measured in metres. The thought of swimming as far as 10 kilometres – and outdoors, no less – wasn’t exactly on his radar. But more than a decade later, that’s exactly when the 20-year-old open-water swimmer finds himself, and after clocking the fastest time by a Canadian swimmer at the U.S./ Canada Men’s Open Water Championship Trials in Long Beach, Calif. earlier this month, he’s just weeks away from his first World Cup appearance. “About a year and a half ago, my coach saw that I was a good distance swimmer and suggested I give open water a try. I just fell in love with it right away,” said Weinberger, a former Pacific Sea Wolves member now liv-

do, I think that’s one of the reasons I like it. “The training for it is absolutely brutal, and a lot of people aren’t prepared to commit to that much work.” Weinberger’s training routine includes swimming eight to nine kilometres, 11 times per week, in addition to dry-land training. “When you’re just starting out, it’s so painful to work yourself up to those distances, but once you get accustomed to it, it’s a lot of fun.” In Long Beach, Weinberger, a Semiahmoo Secondary grad, was the top Canadian in both the five- and 10-km swims, and will now represent Canada at World Open Water Swimming Championships in Roberval, Quebec, July 15-23. The differences between open-water swimming and indoor is striking, Weinberger said. For starters, there are no lanes in open water, which at times leaves the races - in

which as many as 50 swimmers compete at once – resembling something of a no-holdsbarred slugfest. “It can get pretty violent, for sure,” he said. “Sometimes people push you, try to get you to drop back. It’s tough.” Strategy, too, plays a larger role in the marathon outdoor races. “It’s all about strategy… how easy you can go for eight kilometres, because the last two kilometres are just an all-out sprint.” For Weinberger to have success at Worlds next month – and a year from now, at Olympic trials in Shanhai, China – he knows he needs to work on his sprint speed. “I’m perfectly capable of staying with the top group for most of the race – I can hold my own, but it’s that last 100 or 200 metres where I have trouble staying with the topend guys,” he said. “But I’m training really hard right now, really pushing it so I can get myself to that level.”

Matt Chapdelaine takes part in a drill during the B.C. Lions’ training camp, which was held last month in Kamloops.

The Big Kahuna Rams’ potent offensive attack from last year is in the midst of an overhaul of sorts, but got a big boost last week with the addition of B.C. Lions’ draft pick Matt Chapdelaine. The 22-year-old Chapdelaine – son of Lions’ offensive co-ordinator Jacques Chapdelaine – was drafted by the Canadian Football League club earlier this year, but didn’t make the cut in training camp. Rather than return to college football, where he still has eligibility, the six-foot-two slotback chose to sign with the Rams, with whom he hopes to play this summer while continuing to practise with the Leos. Rams head coach Chris Butschler compared Chapdelaine to his onetime slotback/returner Ben Wilson, a former B.C. Football Conference all-star who signed with the Lions in 2008. Chapdelaine will join a Rams’ offence that was among the best in the B.C. Football Conference last season, led by all-star quarterback Cam

Clark, running back Errol Brooks and a receiving group that included Justene Edwards, Xavier Johnson, Nick Downey and Thomas Rafuse. Last season, the quartet of passcatchers combined for 89 receptions and 2,009 yards. Downey, a dangerous kick returner, was also named the BCFC special teams player of the year. However, this year’s offensive lineup will look quite different. For starters, Clark, the Rams’ starting quarterback since the first game of the 2007 season, won’t be back after committing to the University of Manitoba – backup quarterback Marc Paquette is also headed to the CIS – and Edwards and Johnson have both graduated from the league, too. Brooks, a Toronto native, has also elected to play closer to home this season. The junior football’s team first game is still weeks away – July 24 against the Vancouver Island Raiders – but Chapdelaine, the Lions’ ninth-round pick (42nd overall) in the 2010 draft, will likely be leaned upon heavily. He spent last year at Simon Fraser

Join and get up to

University, but hasn’t played football since the 2007 season, when he suffered a concussion as a member of the University of Alberta Golden Bears. Chapdelaine is the latest in a long line of Rams who’ve spent time practising or playing with the Lions; the list includes Wilson, current Lions’ kicker Sean Whyte and former receiver Josh Boden. This week, the Rams also signed another CFL prospect, wideout Spencer Watt, a North Vancouver native. Watt is a third-round draft pick of the Toronto Argonauts, and is still fighting to make the club; he’s currently on the team’s injured list. Should he not make the Argos’ final roster, he’s expected to come to South Surrey. Looking to replace Clark, a former BCFC rookie of the year, will be former Earl Marriott Secondary quarterback Nathaniel White, another recent signee. White, who graduated in 2008, was a starting quarterback at Skyline High School in northern Virginia, where he and his family moved after living on the Peninsula.
