MLA Hogg on anti-HST ‘hit list’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg may have to “pay the price” for supporting the harmonized sales tax, organizers of the campaign against the tax say. “He’s a good guy, but I think people felt betrayed,” said Fight HST’s Chris Delaney. “He stood tight behind his government on a tax nobody wanted… and that may damage him.”

The building at 14955 Victoria Ave. – home of Sausalito Bed and Breakfast and Daisy’s Treasure Trove thrift store – falls to the wreckers’ claw Wednesday to make way for redevelopment. Originally home of White Rock Transfer trucking company in the late 1940s, it has also been a car dealership, a real estate office and an interior design centre, and was in the news again last year when owners Bob and Jacqueline Yearsley won a Supreme Court decision which ruled the city exceeded its authority in denying their development application.

Big vision for sea fest Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock’s sea festival has a new captain and new blood. As of this week, Janice Savage is head of both the August long-weekend festival and the organization that presents it, the Community of Lights Events Society. Savage, who was the festival’s entertainment producer, takes over from Matt Todd, who resigned last week citing a need to focus on his schooling, as well as insufficient time and funds to pull the festival off this year. Savage said news of Todd’s resignation coupled with an appeal for more volunteers and sponsors resulted in a crowded meeting at Small Ritual Coffee Monday – so much so that a larger venue will be used for future meetings. A Peace Arch News story June 18 brought out new people “and lots more interest,” she said. “We’ve got ... new people coming in all the time with lots of great ideas. “It looks like we’re going to be just fine. It’s not going to be smallscale, that’s for sure.” Confirmed events include the torchlight parade, entertainment stages, marketplace and children’s parade and activities. While more sponsors have come on board, a commitment is still needed in order to include fireworks, she said. To get involved, email entertainment@spiritofthesea.ca

Surrey residents and others who admire her approach should take the time to visit the website and cast their votes for her. The winner will be determined not just by the votes cast, but also by the comments made about the finalists. One of the comments already posted about Watts is worth repeating. It comes from Peter Simpson, president and CEO of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association (based in Surrey), who has a reputation of calling things as he sees them. “Mayor Watts is a bold, no-nonsense visionary who works diligently to satisfy the diverse demands of a growing city,” Simpson said. “From my vantage point as a Surrey resident and a business leader, I am always impressed by how the mayor gives equal and caring attention to pressing issues such as economic growth and homelessness.” That is a very astute observation. Watts believes in economic growth, but not at the expense of ignoring social issues like homelessness. A good city will take care of the least of its citizens with as much care and attention as it pays to those with means. It will be interesting to see just how Watts fares in the next phase of this competition. She has certainly taken her office to a new level. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for the Peace Arch News.

news Judge allows trial to proceed with final arguments

Berner given ‘broad hint’ to inspect car Kristine Salzmann, Dan Ferguson and Tracy Holmes Black Press

Carol Berner was driving dangerously and was “slightly impaired” the day she struck and killed Alexa Middelaer as the tot fed a horse at the side of a Ladner road, prosecutor Winston Sayson said in closing arguments this week at Surrey Provincial Court. In encouraging Judge Peder Gulbransen to find Berner guilty of charges including impaired driving causing death and dangerous driving causing death, Sayson asked Gulbransen to find Berner’s driving

behaviours – including oversteering, hitting the gas pedal instead of the brake and travelling 91 km/h in a 50 km/h zone – were “not a momentary lack of attention.” “We are talking a complete failure to control her vehicle for at least nine seconds before she struck and killed Alexa and injured (Alexa’s aunt) Daphne,” he said. Alexa was a student at Village Montessori preschool in Crescent Beach at the time of the May 17, 2008 tragedy. Her mom, Laurel, is a principal at Southridge School. Berner, a Delta resident, has been on trial since May 31.

Sayson began closing arguments Wednesday, shortly after Gulbransen ruled against an application by Berner’s lawyers to stay the proceedings on the basis her right to a fair trial was violated. Defence counsel had argued police were negligent in not preserving Berner’s Oldsmobile, and that without the opportunity to carry out their own inspection, it was impossible to establish whether the car had defective steering and brakes, which a manufacturer’s recall notice had warned of. Defence also took issue with the inability to cross-examine an officer

whose data was part of the Crown’s case. The officer was unable to testify due to medical reasons. In dismissing the application Gulbransen said he found no negligence on the part of police. The car was destroyed because Berner agreed to let ICBC dispose of it after the police returned it to her, he said, noting a DPD officer sent Berner a letter with a “broad hint” that she might want to have the car inspected, something they were not legally required to do. Gulbransen said Sayson has no control over the absent officer’s health and had acknowledged a

“fundamental error” in his data. The judge’s ruling was met with a ripple of applause – one Gulbransen chided, warning those who could not retain composure would be asked to leave. Defence called no witnesses. David Tarnow emphasized in his closing arguments Thursday that witnesses at the scene gave no evidence that Berner was impaired, and he reiterated his reasons for requesting the judge drop all charges. It would be “a stretch of the law” to say she was impaired beyond a reasonable doubt, Tarnow said. The verdict is expected July 27.

Count down for the day

One that got away

But casual visitors seemed few and far between, and Meadley said club members, for months to come, will be analyzing what happened. There could be a few factors at work, he said, including a growing number of family activities nearby. Meadley noted Surrey bylaw officers had not allowed the club to put up its usual ‘boulevard signs’ to promote the barbecue. He said he believes this was due not to changes in the city’s sign bylaw, which restricts advertising on streets or private property, but rather more active enforcement. “The bylaw is certainly restrictive,” he said. “They usually only act on things like this when they’ve received a complaint, and I’m not aware of any complaint against the club. We had people… saying, ‘we missed your signs this year.’” Meadley said members are not convinced it’s the only explanation. “It could be an anomaly, but if it occurs again, we know we’ll have to change our plans,” Meadley said.

The fish were marinated, the barbecues were fired up – but the big crowds just weren’t there. Semiahmoo Fish and Game Club’s annual Father’s Day salmon barbecue took a hit this year, and organizers are still scratching their heads for the reason. “Our numbers were down substantially this year,” said club vicepresident Ron Meadley, who noted the barbecue is the club’s major fundraiser to support the Little Campbell River hatchery. He said the event – a Peninsula tradition since 1957 – would normally draw 600 to 800 people, but it appears only 300-400 turned out last Sunday at the club’s property at

184 Street near 12 Avenue. “We quickly knew something was up,” Meadley said. “By one o’clock in the afternoon the lineup is usually quite visible and we have to

open up a second serving line. That just didn’t happen.” Meadley said regular fans of the barbecue were there in force to show their appreciation of an out-

standing batch of salmon, marinaded to a long-held secret club recipe, while children enjoyed the traditional release of young fish from the hatchery into the river.

White Rock project approved with only Fathers dissenting

Tree bylaw splits CPR-endorsed councillors Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Is White Rock’s new tree bylaw working? Two Citizens for Positive Renewal-endorsed councillors are divided on the issue, after council this week passed the zoning bylaw for a nine-unit townhouse development at 1444 and 1456 Everall St. Coun. Helen Fathers cast the sole opposing vote on the project Monday, remaining adamant it would result in the loss of too many trees in a heavily treed area theoretically protected under the bylaw. “We’re losing 50 per cent of the trees in an area where we’ve said we have a significant stand of trees,” Fathers said. But Coun. Al Campbell said after the meeting that the project is an example of the bylaw working as it should. “The developer did everything we asked and went beyond it,” Campbell told Peace Arch News, noting the project would replace cut trees at a two-to-one ratio, and would also contribute to a “tree

bank” that will enable the city to plant new trees on city property. Prior to the vote, Fathers said she “had a really hard time trying to accept this project…. We took time and effort to adopt a tree bylaw and this project will halve the number of trees that exist there.” Planning director Paul Stanton’s report to council underlined that the project had received customized zoning, aimed at reducing

Helen Fathers

Al Campbell

the density of the project and lot coverage in an attempt to “provide a reasonable balance between tree

preservation and redevelopment.” “The purpose of the tree bylaw is not just protection of trees, but providing replacement trees,” Stanton told council. Fathers raised the spectre of an earlier project, at 1486 Everall St., in which a large number of trees had been lost during construction, prompting the city to commission the Ted Brown report that provided significant input in the development of the tree bylaw.

Number of cuttings way down in Surrey A sluggish economy and a change in the form of developments has meant far fewer trees have been cut down in the City of Surrey in the past 18 months. From 2001-2008, Surrey was issuing permits to cut down about 10,000 trees annually. Mostly due to a recession that saw building in the city drop by 40 per cent last year, the number of trees cut fell to 4,662. In the first six months of 2010, there have been only 975 trees felled due to development. This is mostly because of the type of development, known as infill, where building occurs on previously cleared lands. Examples include redevelopment of Guildford Town Centre, where 37 trees were cut down, and 442 replanted, and Green Timbers Forest, which was

cleared for a forestry site many years ago, where 70 trees have been cut down and 210 planted to make way for the new RCMP E-Division headquarters. Heavy replanting is due to development-permit guidelines set down by the city, especially in areas that were originally developed without a lot of trees. A public outcry erupted years ago over tree cutting. In 2005, Mayor Dianne Watts (then a councillor) called several areas a “moonscape” because of tree loss. After a tree-protection bylaw was enacted in 2006, however, the rate of tree cutting continued. The bylaw has a provision for developments where a two-for-one replacement can’t be met – a $300 fee per tree. – Kevin Diakiw

But Stanton said it was evident the earlier situation in that project was a result of flaws in the construction-management process. Coun. Lynne Sinclair, an opponent of the earlier project, noted flexibility of the current developer. “Here, the density was going to be too great, and this gentleman reduced the density,” Sinclair said. Following the meeting, Campbell enlarged on the density point. “He could have put in up to 12 units but went to nine,” he said, adding the project combines two former single-family lots, with buildings covering 35 per cent. “If they had been redeveloped as single-family lots, they could have had 45 per cent lot coverage and we couldn’t have done anything about it. It looks like this combining of lots is a better way to go.” Campbell noted the project had been through a process of neighborhood consultation and residents of the area had green-lighted the medium-density approach taken. “We’ve really got a handle on this,” he said. “We’ve come a long way in two years.”

JUNE SPECIALS

Recall process not easy: Delaney from page 1 action when they’re not satisfied with their elected representative. The anti-HST campaign, launched by former premier Bill Vander Zalm, needs 10 per cent support in each of the province’s ridings by July 1. It has gained at least 15 per cent in all of them. With the strong support in targeted ridings – both on the part of residents and campaign organizers – it made sense to start recall efforts there, Delaney said. The list isn’t personal and could change, Delaney noted, and MLAs not currently targeted “could easily find their way onto

the list” in the coming months. The signature count in SurreyWhite Rock is both a reflection of Liberal support in the riding and the anger those same voters are feeling in regards to the tax, Delaney said – and one reason Hogg has “fallen victim.” Hogg said it “is a positive thing” to be identified as a result of the community engagement. He reiterated his stand that government handled the introduction of the HST poorly, and said it continues to fall short. “If people decide this is an issue, that this should result in recall, that’s a decision each one

of us has to make individually about how our representatives have been representing them,” Hogg said. “If people are not happy or not satisfied... I will be accountable for that.” Delaney acknowledged the recall process isn’t easy. “There’s only been one successful one,” he said, citing the effort that lead to the 1998 resignation of Parksville-Qualicum MLA Paul Reitsma, who was accused of writing letters to newspapers under fictitious names. “It’s doable. It has to be, again, overwhelmingly supported by the people.”

BC Medical Association president Dr. Ian Gillespie predicted most physicians will sign on. He said the changes should make it more attractive for doctors to train and stay with family practice, rather than specializing. Falcon also said he hopes the changes make more use of nurse practitioners, acknowledging B.C. has done a poor job employing those it has trained. One nurse practitioner has already been hired to work with the local division of family physicians, said Dr. Brenda Hefford, who is leading that group. At press time Thursday afternoon, NDP health critic Adrian Dix said some of the announced ideas are good, but Falcon is promising more than the initiative is likely to achieve.

Divisions of family practice are to offer a one-stop phone call for residents to find family doctors, and to similarly arrange a doctor for those who arrive at emergency wards without one. Up to 250,000 B.C. residents don’t have a family doctor. Getting a family doctor in B.C. can be as hard as “finding a ticket to a Lady Gaga concert,” Falcon said. The announced concept has been working for months in White Rock/South Surrey, Cowichan and Prince George, and is to be underway in 40 communities in the next year. Patients are also expected to help. Falcon said support is envisioned for groups with the same chronic conditions to help patients “self-manage” treatment. The new model is voluntary, but

Most doctors expected to sign on from page 1 tations, by phone, creating the potential for quicker treatment decisions and reduced waits. Falcon said $44 million will go to specialists, who can now bill for the phone consultations. Family doctors will also be able to earn more for treating timeintensive patients with chronic diseases, he said. Better primary care with improved access to doctors will translate into patients with healthier, longer lives, less chronic disease, fewer hospital visits and cost savings for the system, Falcon predicted. “We’re trying to make the system respond to the needs of patients, not patients having to navigate the system trying to get better care,” he said.

editorial

The real cost of saving n less than a week, the much-debated Harmonized Sales Tax will take effect in B.C., and consumers will begin paying a full 12 per cent on many items previously taxed at just seven per cent. Also on July 1 – the same day the new tax kicks in – British Columbians become eligible for a tax break south of the U.S. border. Under Washington State law, consumers whose home state or province has a sales tax less than three per cent can be exempt from the state’s 6.5 per cent sales tax – plus any additional county sales tax – as long as shoppers provide proof of residency. Because the HST is classified as a “value-added tax” and not a “sales tax,” B.C. residents will have the opportunity to save even more money by cross-border shopping – already somewhat inviting considering the Canadian dollar’s decent performance in recent months. At first glance, this loophole may seem like the silver lining in an otherwise dark HST cloud looming over our residents. But before shoppers plan to make a beeline for the border, there is much to be considered when it comes to spending money outside of our own community. The health of our economy is perhaps the most obvious consideration – local business means local employment, along with taxes to be collected and spent in our cities. And despite best efforts to attract the tourist dollar to our community, there’s little hope much of our money spent abroad will ever find its way back. Decreased revenues here also pose the risk of a chain reaction, especially for charities and fundraising efforts. Local businesses support seniors organizations, youth programs, food banks, health services and more, and if those businesspeople lose even more money to their U.S. counterparts, the previous dedication to such causes could be, by necessity, waning. For those considering the negative impact on themselves, long border lineups await, with added inconvenience when a purchase needs to be returned, exchanged or repaired. And for those thinking beyond their immediate vicinity, the environment is a factor. A day trip to the United States will create a larger carbon footprint than an excursion closer to home. In the end, it comes down to a choice. Do we consumers shop locally and support the businesses that support us? Or do we grab our passports and head for the border to happily spend our money tax free? If we choose the latter, we must consider the real cost of saving a scant few dollars.

yes 22% no 78% 88 responding hot upon re-entry through the Earth’s atmosphere, that will melt through several inches of hardened plate steel, to say nothing of plastic garbage cans. Oh, they are hot, yes. Hotter than what our tender digits can tolerate. But being so, tea bags are generally removed with a spoon. And yes, they contain a wee bit of liquid – which, of course, is contained by the spoon. Two problems tackled with one tool. So ... not too hot to hit the garbage, and hardly enough liquid to soak a sock. And thus, my conundrum. Why... why... why... do people keep the tea bag lying around for hours/days/ weeks? Are you so sorrowful about the parting? Will you use it again? (Never seen it done). Is this some ritual of honour and recognition for the wondrous concoction the tea bag bestowed? If so, what ceremony should I perform over an empty bottle of 12-year-old Scotch? Seems that might be more worthy of misty-eyed farewells. Let me make this observation. I have not yet seen a coffee drinker make a pot of joe, take the filter full of grounds, and dump them onto a plate beside the sink to cool, dry or be worshipped. No. It’s out of the coffee-maker and directly to the waste receptacle, or recycling bucket, as case may be. Now, I’m not saying for a moment that tea drinkers are snobs, or a bit unhinged. But you do so sorely tax my practical brain. Andrew Holota is the editor of the Abbotsford News.

12-month wait tests patients An open letter to Minister of Health Kevin Falcon. Earlier this year, on Jan. 13, I fell down the three steps of my garage, landing on my right arm and shoulder on the concrete floor. Since that date, I have been in constant pain, and have found it very hard to sleep. My right arm is virtually unusable. I am a Canadian citizen under 65 years of age, and pay for all my medications in full. In the past 20 years I have used the ambulance service and hospital only once. I am not a professional hockey player, but I do volunteer at the Surrey Food Bank one day a week. I was informed today by my doctor that I have an appointment for an MRI at Peace Arch Hospital on Jan. 26, 2011 – more than 12 months after my accident. You state – as the MLA for SurreyCloverdale and the minister of health – that the health system is working in B.C., and that there are reduced wait times. My family is urging me to have an MRI done privately, but I stubbornly insist on using our health-care system. I look forward to your suggestions in this regard, especially as the pain is not subsiding. Peter Tilbury, Surrey

no WC at the station. Thank you, letter-writer Scott McMullan, for enlightening us that actually there is one. I’ve worked in China over the past decade. In every city over there you can find decent WCs about every two blocks or so. Sometimes you have to pay to use them. But paying to use public toilets has been customary in Europe as long as I can remember. Perhaps those type of coinslot doors that open when the amount is paid may help pay for maintenance. C. Schroedter, White Rock

Accounting for MP’s expenses Editor: Re: Expenses ‘appreciably lower’ for 2010, June 18. MP Russ Hiebert (South SurreyWhite Rock-Cloverdale) has stated he supports an audit of MPs’ expenses by the auditor general. By being proactive and as a gesture of sincerity and good will to his constituents, is he prepared to lead

by example and provide a running account of his expenditures on his website or as a supplement in the $81,000 worth of literature he has been in a habit of churning out? Jim Francis, Surrey Q Please ask our MP when, how and to whom he communicated his support for an audit by the auditor general. In the past, news reports stated that all MPs – except the PQ – were vehemently against an audit. Did our MP break the ranks? Did he send a memo to the prime minister stating he “long supported her request for such an audit?” Wolfgang Schmitz, White Rock Q If the accounts of members of Parliament are not rigidly audited, we have reason to be suspicious. There is an old Latin phrase: Quis custodiet ipsos custodes, meaning: “Who guards the guards?” E.A. Graf, White Rock Q MP Russ Hiebert’s expense reports go a long way to explaining the volume of flights over South Surrey. What I cannot figure out is why our well-compensated man in Ottawa is so effective in not doing anything about aircraft noise.

He is apparently looking after the airlines interests and not ours. Air Canada should be picking up the tab instead of us. Ken Brookes, Surrey Q MPs who flagrantly disregard their position and their fiduciary responsibility to the electorate do not deserve to serve. How do we recall these scofflaws? Dennis Mills, White Rock Q Although this subject has been beaten to death, I feel compelled to add my comment. I believe MP Russ Hiebert’s expenses can and should be put to the test of reasonableness. If, for example, family travel costs could be claimed by any taxpayer as an income-tax deduction, or by a corporation for an employee, then it could be argued such an expense is reasonable. If not, and I presume this to be the case, then the cost must be borne by Hiebert. Salaries, benefits, pensions and expenses for MP’s exceed those of many Canadian taxpayers. If, over and above these compensations, sacrifices have to be made, well, life is sometimes tough, get over it. Bob Holden, White Rock

quote of note

How is it that we couldn’t get a qualifying team, when the poorest of countries in Africa and South America can?a Kevin Blake

Real Canadian football needed Editor: Like many people, I have been enjoying the World Cup soccer matches, but I can’t help asking myself, “where the heck is Canada?” How is it that we couldn’t get a qualifying team, when the poorest of countries in Africa and South America can? It only irks me more watching the commercial that shows bank employees rooting for their country of birth, when they could be rooting for the country they call home. Sure, I was happy when the country of my birth, New Zealand, stood up to the Italians, but I would have been more excited if it had been the Canadians. After all the pride and elation that was felt for the Olympics, this is a real downer. Kevin Blake, White Rock

No need to skip the loo Editor: Re: They built it – but not for us, June 18 letters. Exactly my sentiments. When I went to Bridgeport Station the first time, the day the Canada Line opened, the first thing I looked for were washrooms. After a 15-minute walk, a 35-plus-minute bus ride from White Rock and having had a couple of coffees that morning, I was appalled there was

Cost added by government to a small purchase like a chocolate bar offers insight into waste, writes Guy Shaddock.

Metaphor for government waste Editor: I work in an industry that is comprised of small independent businesses. The owners are not unlike the average wage earner. They are contributing members of society. When it comes to spending, every dollar needs to be accounted for. Dollars spent are rationalized to the extent that there is a benefit in their expenditure. Recently, I did a project in a municipality that really got me thinking about where all of the tax dollars go. This was a project for a client that is not in the food industry but does sell chocolate bars as a convenience to his customers. Get this. A large municipality has in their regulations that a health inspector must be dispatched to inspect a chocolate-bar rack! When I questioned this, the health inspector directed me to regulations that the inspector interpreted as: if you sell water, you need a permit. So I began thinking about how much it costs to have a health inspector drive over to the location, either in a taxpayer-funded car or a mileage-reimbursed private car. Take the automobile cost and add that to the hourly rate of the highly educated inspector who must review the plans, drive over to the site and finally

issue a permit for a chocolate bar rack. My conservative estimate was $280 ($50 mileage + $45/hour x 4= $180 + $50 administrative costs – city clerk enters data, prints permit – equals $280). Then, if you multiply all of the chocolate-bar racks that have to be inspected in this large city, the numbers soon get pretty large. When I read about the ever-increasing taxes to the consumer – taxes like the new HST, or how politicians like local MP Russ Hiebert spend more in one year on expenses than some people earn in a lifetime – I, like many people, am asking for accountability. The chocolate bar story true. It is also a metaphor for what I believe is wrong with our state-funded programs and institutions. I suggest the solution is not to keep increasing taxes. There is more than enough money in the public coffers. Really. The solution is to make those tax dollars work, starting at the micro-level. Much of our tax dollars are being wasted in the wrong places. When will those that we entrust with our money, our managers, our leaders, get it? Guy Shaddock, Surrey

his week’s rededication ceremony of a portion of Centennial Park as Ruth Johnson Park wasn’t just a tribute to the memory of the city pioneer, but a testament to what one person can do now. While longtime White Rock resident Roger Currie notes he had a lot of support while petitioning the city to rename the parkland to honour a civic agreement made in 1956 when White Rock was a ward of Surrey, much of the praise by attendees of Wednesday’s unveiling was directed at Currie himself. “It’s really nice to see a citizen’s initiative come to fruition,” said school trustee Laurae McNally, who had encouraged fellow White Rock Museum and Archives Brian Giebelhaus photo board members to write a letter to the Roger Currie speaks at the rededication ceremony of Ruth Johnson Park, honouring the pioneer shown (top, centre) with husband Fred. city supporting Currie’s efforts. “I’m just However, upon hearing of the plan, Currie The retired Surrey school teacher spoke for the community. thrilled.” did some last-minute, behind-the-scenes of Fred Johnson, whom he lived with for Currie thanked all those involved with The Peace Arch News reported last fall lobbying and suggested a compromise – eight years beginning when Currie was 12. the renaming, and for acknowledging the Currie’s wish to have the 14600 North Bluff that the forested area be renamed, Currie’s mother had been Ruth Johnson’s Johnsons’ contributions to the area.

HST and the effect on Coach Tours

It is with trepidation we head into the next year trying to plan our tours with the HST looming over us. There have been so many what if scenarios back and forth with Revenue Canada there are still some gray areas. Basically it will cost you, the traveler an additional 7 percent to see your own country. If part of the tour travels outside of Canada for more than 48 hours then it is HST exempt. This brings the question to us the tour operators. Do we plan all of our tours outside Canada and take business away from Canadians? If we do this then seniors suffer as the medical coverage is more expensive outside of Canada. A catch 22 for sure. This HST may be good for the manufacturing industry but not the consumer in the short hall. There will be a lot of jobs for summer students at stake in the tourism industry which has already

suffered over these past two years. We have decided to plan our schedule with a mix and hope that you decide which tour suits your Calendar and interests rather than the additional 7 percent if you are able. We do hope you decide to still tour in Canada as you would normally and capture the magnificent beauty and impressive history of our own country. Help keep our own students working to finance their education. Don’t make the tourism industry take the full brunt of this financial burden with the HST. Meanwhile, we have a great tour over to the West Coast of Vancouver Island at the end of this month. See below for more information. Happy Coaching !! Bob and Teresa Marshall.

SUM

A recent fundraiser in support of a campaign to better equip police for impaired-driving investigations collected more than $2,000 for the cause. Purple Power Day at Southridge School encouraged students to wear purple and donate to the Back the Bus campaign, an effort to purchase mobile blood-alcohol testing units. The campaign is in honour of four-year-old Alexa Middelaer, who died after she was struck by a car two years ago as she fed a horse at the side of a Ladner road. The woman driving the car that hit Alexa is currently on trial in Surrey Provincial Court, on charges including impaired driving causing death and dangerous driving causing death. Purple Power Day was organized in part to show support for Alexa’s parents Michael and Laurel – who is a principal at Southridge – during the trial. It was an initiative of Grade 6 students Maraya Davis, Megan Galbraith, Erin Sahl, Natal-

Meeting to address housing affordability Housing is hot in Metro Vancouver. But affordability continues to be a real problem. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why building industry representatives will meet with all three levels of government â&#x20AC;&#x201C; municipal, provincial and federal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this fall, in a symposium intended to address the issue of home affordability, Canadian Home Buildersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association B.C. president Bob Deeks announced Friday in Vancouver. Calling it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;substantial step,â&#x20AC;? Deeks said it will be the first time builders and industry representatives

will meet with all three levels of government to address barriers to housing affordability in Metro Vancouver, such as pyramid taxation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this is the first time this has ever been done. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited,â&#x20AC;? Deeks said. In 2010, it is estimated the residential construction industry â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in Metro Vancouver alone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will generate upward of $7 billion into the economy. Between 250 to 300 people from the industry and government are expected to attend the symposium. No date has yet been given.

Introducing Chewie, the gentle giant Jennifer Lang Black Press

Boaz Joseph photo

Canine reading coach Chewbacca, or Chewie, with his handler B.J. Fleetham and a pal from Don Christian Elementary in Surrey (top right).

Christina Place For the Young At Heart

For Chewie, a few hundred pats, scratches and cuddles are all in a day’s work. It’s his job to love you, says his handler, B.J. Fleetham of South Surrey, who says the massive, 200-pound, twoyear-old is one of the few English mastiffs working as certified READ dogs. Each Wednesday, he visits with students at Don Christian Elementary in Cloverdale as part of the unique literacy program, READ (Reading Education Assistance Dogs), in which students read to visiting canines. Being a great listener isn’t Chewie’s only skill. He’s also a registered therapy dog, making the rounds at local seniors-care facilities, and, through the SPCA’s outreach program, teaching children how to avoid dog bites. His expressive brown eyes, wrinkled brow, and calm manner all give him an air of friendly concern. Given his impressive size, he might not seem well suited to working with children. But he’s gentle as a kitten, preferring to lie down on the spot – out of laziness, Fleetham

assures – than throw his weight around. But he also has an innate fondness for being petted by strangers and a nurturing spirit – making him a natural for this type of work, Fleetham says. Don Christian Elementary is Chewbacca’s first assignment as a READ dog, and Fleetham seems just as amazed at how successful his weekly stints at the school have been. “You won’t believe what he can do,” Fleetham says. “These little boys and girls just love him.” The dog spends about half an hour with each child as they read to him. Does he listen? “Yes! And he talks, too.” The children quickly warmed to the gentle giant. She’s noticed they’re focusing better. “What it really does is improve their confidence,” she says. “They talk to the dog. It’s hilarious,” she adds. “They really know he’s listening.”

The implicit message can, and maybe should, be applied to everyday living also. Economists and others argue that a strong economy is needed if the environment is to be maintained in good health. I believe a healthy environment is essential to a sustained economy and, sadly, a new report by the UN’s Global Diversity Outlook committee indicates things are not going well. The Red List of endangered species continues to increase at a rate many hundreds of times greater than previously experienced, and the 2010 targets for reduction in biodiversity loss are not being met.

No discounts on bridge tolls Jeff Nagel Black Press

The new Port Mann Bridge won’t offer reduced tolls to regular motorists to encourage them to cross at off-peak hours. The provincial government had originally promised to consider variable rate tolls on the bridge, potentially allowing different rates at different times of day to help combat congestion. It’s a strategy TransLink is now considering to boost lacklustre traffic on the tolled Golden Ears Bridge. But government officials now

say variable tolls on the Port Mann will be limited. Heavy trucks crossing the bridge overnight will get a 50 per cent discount on the basis they have more flexibility to travel at off hours. And registered HOV-lane users will get a 25 per cent discount when they cross the bridge in the HOV lane during peak periods, as long as they carry the minimum two occupants. Transportation ministry spokesperson Baljinder Jacques said an overnight discount for motorists other than trucks would do

little to reduce congestion at peak times and the lost revenue would mean keeping the tolls in place longer than the planned 40 years. “Research showed us that the best way to reduce congestion at peak times was to encourage carpooling because commuters have little choice on when they travel,” Jacques said. The tolls will be collected by the Transportation Investment Corp., the government’s Crown corporation that is overseeing the construction. The bridge is to open in late 2012.

Mayors worry U-Pass surge will swamp TransLink Jeff Nagel Black Press

Giving all post-secondary students universal transit access may stretch TransLink’s resources too far and reduce transit service to other users, some Metro Vancouver mayors fear. The U-Pass program that started at UBC and SFU is to expand to every college and university student, giving them all unlimited transit use for $30 a month. The provincial government, which announced the expansion June 9, gave TransLink $20 million over three years to assist with the change. But there are growing questions over whether that will be enough to cover lost fare revenue – many

Rule changes The regional mayors council on transportation has tweaked the rules that govern the election of its chair and vice-chair. The change stems from a dustup in February, when Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts, the outgoing chair, suddenly resigned and Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender won the ensuing election for chair. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan accused Watts of orchestrating the handover to Fassbender by giving him the heads up in advance that she was leaving but not telling other mayors. The rule change now says a chair or vicechair that intends to step down should give one month’s notice.

students will pay less than previously – or to increase transit service to cover an expected surge in student demand. “The fact is your buses are absolutely jammed,” Richmond Mayor

to decide how to “rationalize” by reducing service on runs or at certain times of day with few passengers and increasing it at times and places where there’s more demand. “It requires some significant trade-offs we’ll have to make,” said planning vice-president Michael Shiffer, admitting there will be winners and losers among transit riders. “I’m really worried ‘service rationalization’ means service reductions in places like Coquitlam,” responded Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart. He said outlying cities are trying to make neighbourhoods more transit-friendly and need to know service will improve there. Asked why TransLink didn’t sim-

CROSSWORD

Relax. It’s Done.

Parking tax How much money TransLink gets in parking sales tax still isn’t known even though the collection system is to change next month. The provincial government will no longer collect the 21 per cent tax on pay parking once the HST takes effect, and TransLink will begin levying it directly from parking lot operators. The change means TransLink will now have to shoulder the estimated $1 million a year in administration costs. It’s estimated the tax will generate $47 million a year, but that could go up or down significantly after an audit is completed, according to TransLink staff. The 12 per cent HST will be stacked on top of the parking tax, so drivers using pay lots will pay compounded taxes of 35.5 per cent starting July 1.

Metro Vancouver mayors are worried that an expanded U-Pass program will overload TransLink.

Malcolm Brodie told TransLink executives at a June 16 meeting of the Metro mayors’ council on transportation. “You are expanding and something is going to have to give as a result,” he said. Brodie said he sees no indication TransLink is prepared for the growth in transit use that could come – as happened when the original U-Pass came to UBC. Extra pressure on the system once U-Passes extend to all campuses may leave TransLink severely underfunded again, other mayors said. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson said it’s troubling provincial aid isn’t expected to continue past 2013. TransLink is already trying

ply say no to the province’s plan for the expanded U-Pass, CEO Ian Jarvis said the transportation authority decided the best course of action was to work co-operatively with Victoria to implement the policy. Officials note it might not extend to all institutions because students could still vote it down. U-Passes are compulsory at participating institutions – all students pay for them along with student fees – but only after a referendum passes. There are already rumblings it could be rejected at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, where reps say many students in Surrey and Langley don’t live close enough to frequent bus routes for the pass to be worthwhile.

Marriott grad back on the beach Alex Browne Arts Reporter

One of Earl Marriott Secondary’s best-known theatre grads, Jessie award-winner Dean Paul Gibson is back with Bard on the Beach with a vengeance this year. Not only is he director, with typical flair, of a sumptuous new version of the rollicking romance Much Ado About Nothing – set in Edwardian-era Italy – he’s also making a welcome return to the Bard’s studio stage personifying one of Shakespeare’s most beloved characters in the eponymous production, Falstaff. Directed by Glynis Leyshon, the latter is a new

adaptation by Errol Durbach highlighting the Falstaff scenes from Henry V parts one and two, with as Gibson said – catching breath between rehearsals – “a little of Merry Wives of Windsor thrown in for good measure.” Alone among Shakespeare’s creations, the plump rogue, Sir John Falstaff, is a recurring figure in the canon, with appearances in no less than three of his plays and mention in a fourth, Henry V. The key to his popularity, then as now, is his very outrageousness. Inspired by a real-life character, Sir John Oldcastle, the scalawag Falstaff is the antithesis of the noble knight.

He’s a veritable catalogue of faults: a drunken lecher addicted to sack (a dry white wine) and the company of buxom barmaids, a shameless liar and opportunist, an immoral thief and looter of property in the company of a retinue of scoundrels known as the Gadshill band. “He’s a bit of a lost boy – a loveable rogue,” said the White Rock-raised Gibson. While Merry Wives played up the comic side of Falstaff, there is a much more bittersweet aspect to his story, hinging on the reprobate’s relationship with Prince Hal, later to become Henry V. see page 33

Event aims to change views of youth culture

Urban flair Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

ention hip-hop culture to older generations and the response is likely to be negative. Reactions range from a lack of understanding, to open hostility, to music and dance styles and ‘urban art’ – also known as graffiti. At the same time, many young people feel disenfranchised and unable to express themselves – except in ways that society brands as unacceptable, or even illegal. An event at the skateboard park at South Surrey Recreation Centre this weekend aims to begin the process of turning such attitudes around. Called Elements, the noon-to-3p.m. free event will showcase the four elements of hip-hop culture – urban art, DJ-ing, MC-ing and b-boy/b-girl breakdancing – to both young and old. “We’re hoping to attract the full spectrum of ages – including families – to get involved,” said Jordan Wiebe, youth programmer for the South Surrey Youth Centre, which is presenting the event in partnership with Alexandra Neighborhood House. Throughout the afternoon there will be artists, both youth and mentors, creating urban art on provided materials.

Elements, happening June 26 at the South Surrey Athletic Park skate park, features DJs like Ryan McLean and BMX riders like Shion Fujita. In addition, there will be breakdance performances by Canadian b-boy champions Now or Never Crew, performances by local hip hop MCs and musicians, and youth DJs performing alongside the Beat 94.5’s DJ Flipout, who has volunteered his services as event host. “We’re really excited about having him here,” Wiebe said. The event is also attracting attention in other areas of Surrey, he said, which bodes well for a continuation of the concept. “The RCMP in Newton would really like to see an event like this there,” he said. “We’d really like to

see more events like this offered, giving youth a positive way to show their talents.” He said he’s also “a living testament” that its possible to take the various hip hop art forms in a positive direction. “I’ve been involved in hip hop culture from a very early age,” Wiebe, 27, said. “I DJ professionally and I also teach DJ-ing to kids at the centre.” “I got into a bit of urban art when I was 14, and people weren’t very happy with that. So I took to doing it on skimboards and made an art out of that.” Making a positive out of a

perceived negative is all a matter of attitude and appropriateness, Wiebe said. “When people think of graffiti, they think of tagging and the defacing of public spaces. But if you focus on the art and give kids a place to show their art in the public eye, in a positive way, they’re not looking at doing it in an illegal way.” Part of the event will be giving young people a chance to paint urban-style art on plywood – much of which could be the basis of a later art show, he said. “We’re definitely not trying to encourage any illegal graffiti.

That’s why we’re bringing in professional painters who have taken their craft to a different level. We’re showing them ways of expressing themselves, like decorating shoes and hats, painting on plywood, or even getting permission to paint murals – beautifying, rather than making the community ugly or defacing property.” Urban art can be so much more than tagging, Wiebe said, even though that may be the first form it takes with young people. “If you see some of the murals, some of these guys are using 15 see page 32

Giving youth a voice from page 31 to 20 colours. It can be beautiful and inspiring when you walk by, and it can transfer over to work opportunities, such as skateboard designing. Wiebe agreed many of the negative actions of young people are rooted in an urgent need for recognition, and the need to feel they have a voice. That’s another function of the event, which will also offer participants a questionnaire aimed at surveying their needs. The information gathered will be provided to the South Surrey and White Rock Child and Youth Committee. Among other things being assessed in the survey is whether or not there needs to be a dedicated youth drop-in in the uptown South Surrey and White Rock core. “One of the things we will be asking is, ‘do you hang out on the 152 Street strip – and if there were a space uptown, would you make use of it?’” Wiebe said. “While there has been a youth centre in South Surrey for a long time, it’s just far enough away from uptown that kids don’t walk in off the street – they won’t come there unless it’s for a specific event,” he said. For more information about the event, call Wiebe at 604-592-6964.

Veteran actor relates to character from page 31 While the young prince (Bard veteran Alessandro Juliani) idolizes Falstaff and he gets his lateMedieval kicks carousing with a group of wine-soaked cut-purses, affairs of state and his impending accession to the throne mean he must sever all ties to the old reprobate. And that’s the crux of the drama, Gibson said, noting there is much truth to Falstaff ’s mortified wail: “Banish plump Jack and you banish all the world.” “He knows, as Shakespeare knows, that we need people like Falstaff in life,” said Gibson. “Henry V is a much better King because he ran with the people – it teaches him to connect with his passion.” By the same token, Gibson said, association with the prince “offers Jack a certain cachet and station.” All of that comes to a sudden and bitter end with Hal’s renunciation, Gibson said. “Hal needs to find balance in his life – he has to banish his friend for the greater good.” But it is the beginning of the end for Falstaff, he said. “It kills him. It breaks his heart, literally and figuratively. He’s

When I first began advertising with the Peace Arch News in 1997 I was surprised at how quickly this medium allowed my Rubbish Removal business to create a brand for itself. The marketing and creative department helped me create an ad that was effective, visible and accessible as well as keeping the costs affordable. Since this was my first experience advertising my business, I was under the impression that all advertising mediums were equally effective and were destined to drive customers to my door. I was sadly disappointed to find out otherwise. Since establishing Russell’s Rubbish Removal in 1997 I have been approached by countless marketing agents offering me advertising in their respective flyers, magazines, radio, mailout coupons etc. with the promise of widespread exposure that would be “PERFECT” for my business. Needless to say I spent an enormous amount of my advertising budget on inflated demographic costs with fruitless return. The Peace Arch News however has always been an effective medium that reaches members of our community and has been integral in reinforcing relationships with new customers and returning customers. Their costs have always been fair, and the service has always been first class. After advertising for 13 years with certain phone book companies I have realized that excellent service, like the Peace Arch News provides, is a luxury that I have come to really appreciate. Whether you are starting a new business or looking to increase your exposure in the community, the Peace Arch News is the most cost effective, professionally conducted medium to help you promote your business. I look forward to many more years of working with the Peace Arch News. Russell Therrien Owner/Operator Russell’s Rubbish Removal

y the time Canada’s national women’s fastpitch team arrives in South Surrey next month, players should be on top of their game, after taking on the world’s best in Venezuela.

The tournament wraps up July 2.

Another crucial factor is the size of the penumbra region, which are brain cells that lie between the damaged tissue and the unaffected, normal brain. This extremely important area of the brain contains idling brain cells that are nonfunctional but intact. HBOT re-awakens the stunned brain cells within the penumbra by providing them with much needed high doses of oxygen.

New rules keep players’ heads in the game Larry Pruner Black Press

Athletes who get their bells rung are ringing alarm bells with Football BC. The province’s amateur gridiron governing body, whose membership includes the B.C. Community Football Association and the BC High School Football Association (BCHSFA) – which includes the White Rock-South Surrey Titans and the Earl Marriott Mariners football program – announced May 28 the adoption of a new policy regarding concussion education and treatment guidelines, effective immediately. Football BC is the first provincial sport organization in Canada to adopt a policy specific to concussions and brain injuries. That policy requires: • all coaches participate in a yearly education program prior the season; • parents and youth athletes sign an informed consent form annually acknowledging the risk of head injury prior to practice or competition; • an athlete suspected of having sustained a concussion or head injury is removed from play; • and an athlete who has thus been removed from play must receive written clearance from a doctor before returning. “We’ve kind of always taken care of that, and followed those types of rules, ourselves, but it’s nice to see

OBITUARIES

TROSKEY, Maxwell Harvard A strong light has gone out of the world. On Friday, June 18, 2010 Maxwell Harvard Troskey died peacefully in his sleep at home in White Rock, BC at the age of 96. Harv is survived by Marjorie, his wife of 67 years; his daughter Lynn; Peter Hesketh; his niece and nephews and their families. He and Marj were married in Victoria in 1942, while he was in the army, and they lived in Chilliwack, Regina, Edmonton, Vancouver, Hawaii and White Rock. Harv had a long and happy life that began December 10, 1913 in Raymore, Saskatchewan. Due to his hard work and integrity he also had a long and interesting career throughout which he helped and encouraged others. He began his career as a child catching gophers in Raymore (5 cents a tail) with Ian Cameron, his close friend and future brother-in-law. As a young adult during the Depression he surveyed in the Frozen North for $1 a day. He was an ofďŹ cer in the Royal Canadian Engineers in Europe during the Second World War and after the war worked for Bird Construction starting as an estimator and ultimately as Vice President. While working for Bird Construction he was involved with many varied projects including building the Interprovincial Pipeline with Lockerbie and Hole in the 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, moving the old town of Aklavik, NWT to the new city of Inuvik, the Kaiser Coal project in Crowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nest Pass and building PaciďŹ c Center in Vancouver. After he retired he built Waikiki Sunset, a high-rise condominium, in Honolulu and with his friend John Latta started the ďŹ rst ginseng farm in Western Canada. He also had time to play. Constants throughout his life were sports, especially golf with friends and tennis which he played until he was 83; bridge which he played, and won, on his last night; animals including dogs, horses and pet coyotes and entertaining which often involved his famous cinnamon buns. The most important things in his life were his family and his friends. Once his friendship was given it was forever. Harv was a charismatic and generous man who touched the lives of many. He will be missed. We are honouring his wish that there be no funeral, no memorial and no ďŹ&#x201A;owers.

SUTHERLAND â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Angus Mackenzie, born August 21, 1925, died peacefully June 15, 2010 with family by his side in South Surrey, BC. Angus is survived by his wife and best friend of 58 years, Doris; his children: Sharon Olson (Lyndon), Angus (Holly Cameron), and Heather Henry (Garnet Vickers); sisters-inlaw: Helen Fetherstonhaugh (Derek), Elva Johnson, Thelma Owens, and Carol Ramsden (Roger); brother-in-law Donald Caves (Dorothy) and loving grandchildren Kaleigh and Kristin Henry, Sheena and Lauren Sutherland. He was pre-deceased by brother-inlaw Robert Johnson. Angus was born, raised and lived most of his adult life in Winnipeg, Manitoba. After graduating from Norwood Collegiate in Winnipeg, Angus continued his education at the University of Manitoba graduating with a Bachelor of Commerce (Honours). In 1947 he commenced his career with Great West Life Assurance Company where he soon completed his actuarial studies, attaining his Fellowship with the Society of Actuaries (FSA) and a Fellowship with the Canadian Institute of Actuaries (FCIA). His distinguished career lasted 35 years with Great West Life until his retirement in 1982. Following retirement from his actuarial career Angus kept active handling various ďŹ nancial matters relating to his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real estate developments and enterprises, right up until his 83rd birthday. In his retirement years Angus became a selftaught expert in retirement and pension tax law, becoming sought after for advice by many friends and relatives. In 1992 Angus moved to Ocean Park in South Surrey, BC where he became an active member in the Be-Welcome Club of South Surrey/White Rock. He looked forward to his daily social visits to local businesses and shops where he took care of family business and personal matters. Above all else Angus was a devoted and loving husband, father and grandfather. He enjoyed supporting his childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pursuits and took pride in their accomplishments. In later years this devotion carried forward to his grandchildren who were a source of delight for him. Dad loved to drive and enjoyed his cars. Some of his fondest memories were from road trips throughout Canada and the U.S. Over the years his favourite pastimes included gardening, curling, playing bridge, enjoying old movies and spending summers at the lake with his family. Angus will always be alive in the happy memories of his family and friends. He believed that a sense of humour will carry you through any situation in life and he practised this daily. His humorous quotes and practical jokes will be remembered by all who knew him. Angus was a proud Scot with a twinkle in his eye. He will be truly missed. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday June 30, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. at the Boal Chapel, 1505 Lillooet Road, North Vancouver BC, followed by a reception. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, please consider making a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada or to a charity of your choice. The family extends a special thanks to the staff at Morgan Place for their loving care and support.

OBITUARIES

Hull, Alma C. 1921 - 2010 Alma C Hull passed away suddenly but peacefully at Peace Arch Hospital on Wednesday, June 16th, 2010. Alma will be sadly missed by her daughter Susan (Donald) of Ottawa, sons William (Lorrene) of Red Deer, David (Julie) of Burnaby, and Timothy (Anne) of Calgary, as well as 9 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her beloved husband John Hull in 1961. Alma is survived by her sisters Doris, Norah, and Marjorie, her brothers, Ronald and Maurice, and numerous nieces and nephews. Alma was born in Liverpool, England, to parents Constance and GarďŹ eld Jones. During WW2, she served in the Home Guard. It was during this time that she met and married a dashing RCAF pilot, Jack Hull from Fairview, Alberta. In late 1944, Alma immigrated to Canada aboard a troop ship, landing at Pier 21 in Halifax, with baby William in her arms. After a seven day train trip across Canada, Alma arrived at her new home in Fairview, Alberta, on December 23rd, 1944. It was in Fairview that Jack and Alma raised their family together before Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s untimely death in 1961. Following Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, Alma enrolled at the U of A in Edmonton where she obtained her teaching certiďŹ cate. After teaching in Edmonton for several years, she followed her heart to Vancouver where she taught in the Delta School system. She took a break from teaching to enroll at UBC and earned a B.Ed., majoring in Library Science. After retiring from teaching, she moved to White Rock, where she resided until her death. Alma had a passion for learning. She was interested in the big questions of life: What is my purpose? How do I steer my own course in life? Is there more to this marvelous universe than I see around me? Until her eyesight failed, she was a voracious reader of books on science, religion and philosophy. Recently, she found Eckhart Tolleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Power of Nowâ&#x20AC;? inspirational. She also pursued her interests in painting, drawing and theatre arts, and was a long time supporter of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. She embraced the computer era, using the internet to explore the world and email to connect with friends and family. Alma found friendship and a community of shared values in the Unitarian Church of Vancouver and the South Fraser Unitarian Congregation. A Memorial Celebration of Almaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831 28 Ave. Surrey, BC, on Saturday, June 26th at 11 AM. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, memorial tributes may be made directly to: CNIB: #4 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 5015 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 48 St. Red Deer, Alberta, T4N 1S9.
