2010 sea festival in danger of sinking Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

After a call for potential organizers for this summer’s Spirit of the Sea Festival went unanswered, the City of White Rock has returned its attention to the non-profit group it criticized last year. But the head of the Community of Lights Event Society – which has run the 60-yearold festival since the late 1990s – said members are questioning whether to participate

in the August-long weekend event this year. Mayor Catherine Ferguson said Thursday she had been told as recently as this week that city staff have been working with the society, and she was hopeful it would return to organize this summer’s festival. Ferguson was surprised to hear from a Peace Arch News reporter that past volunteers were questioning future involvement. “It’s very disappointing,” Ferguson said. “It’s an event that’s a long-standing tradition

in this community. I would like to think the city and... society could work together and find a way of making this move forward.” However, society president Matt Todd said Wednesday he has not been in contact with the city since a February meeting, and that his feelings of hope that developed out of that discussion have since diminished. Todd, a former councillor, said volunteers were left “feeling wounded and totally demoralized” after a city report criticized

the organization of last year’s festival. They plan to meet next week to decide if they will continue their involvement. “The majority of them have already told me that they don’t really want to. They’re angry, and they feel that the city is working against them,” Todd said. “They want to (participate), but the conditions are such that they feel like they’re banging their heads against a brick wall. Just out of self interest, see page 4

Fraser Health savings

PAH calls rerouted Jeff Nagel & Tracy Holmes Black Press

The consolidation of Fraser Health hospital switchboard operations is confusing and frustrating residents who can no longer reach their local facility directly. Operators handling calls for everything from appointment confirmations to patient inquiries are now based at either Surrey Memorial Hospital or Chilliwack General, officials confirmed this week. And while cost-savings and centralized services have been cited as reasoning for the change, at least one White Rock resident questioned the logic. Mairi Davidson said it took her four tries and at least 10 minutes Tuesday to confirm an appointment at Peace Arch Hospital. “I almost slammed the phone against the wall, I was getting so angry,” Davidson said Thursday. When she learned her call had been routed through Surrey Memorial, she was even more frustrated. “If you want to get hold of Peace Arch Hospital, you don’t want to go to Surrey Memorial Hospital or via Surrey Memorial Hospital,” Davidson said. “It’s probably a cost-saving, but with less service, or worse service.” Operators at the SMH hub handle all hospitals in Fraser Health from Maple Ridge and Langley west, while those in Chilliwack handle see page 4

Paul Wheeler, executive director of Semiahmoo House Society, says program cuts are inevitable if the provincial government doesn’t change plans.

Fate uncertain as Semiahmoo House awaits news on slashed funding

‘Bad, morally wrong and unethical’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

“Major hurt” is inevitable for developmentally disabled clients who access programs and services at Semiahmoo House Society if government doesn’t reverse funding that was cut from community service agencies’ mandated pension plan, officials say. And while a last-minute reprieve appeared imminent – with email assurances from Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg that government will honour its commitment – exactly what that means remained unclear at Peace Arch News deadline Thursday.

SHS executive director Paul Wheeler took his concerns over the impact of the looming cut public Wednesday, after behind-the-scenes efforts to address the issue were proving futile. “We had hoped we could work with government quietly to get this resolved,” Wheeler said. “Something has to give.” According to Wheeler, government promised in 2006 to fund the Municipal Pension Plan that community service agencies, including SHS, must participate in as of the end of this month. The Community Social Services Employers’ Association committed agencies to the plan based on that promised funding, he said.

But that funding was cut during the budget lockup earlier this month, Wheeler said. For SHS, it amounts to a deficit of $283,000 for 2010/11 alone, he said. And as the organization can’t operate in a deficit, the only option is cuts, said Wheeler – to programs, services and staff. Exactly how that could play out at Semiahmoo House, if necessary, has yet to be determined. But it wouldn’t be pretty, Wheeler said. Wednesday, he appealed to Hogg via email to persuade his Liberal colleagues to reverse the “bad, morally wrong and unethical decision.” see page 4

One in 10 students to be in portables Sheila Reynolds Black Press

By 2011, about 7,300 students in the Surrey School District will likely be attending classes in portables. That’s at least one in 10 kids – the equivalent of all the children at 12 elementary schools. And by 2015, that number is expected to grow to 8,500 students – more than the total population of many B.C. school districts. The numbers are included in a just-released Surrey report on portable classrooms. Historically, the seemingly high number of the trailer-like buildings isn’t the most the school district has had. In the late 1990s, Surrey hit an all-time high of 388 portables, a figure that’s been whittled down over the past decade. But the numbers are expected to climb dramatically in coming years. Surrey currently has 217 portables (not including the 45 being used during seismic upgrades). By 2015, it’s anticipated there will be about 340. The new Report on District Portable Inventory was requested by trustee Terry Allen last month in an effort to illustrate the impact full-day kindergarten, growing enrolment and a lack of new building money is having on the school district. It was to be presented to board of education members Thursday night. The document says there are currently more than 67,000 students in the district, and another 550 are expected each year. Adding to regular growth factors is the fact that by next fall (September 2011), more than 4,700 kindergarten kids will be attending full-day classes, as mandated by the provincial government. Those children used to be split between two half-day (morning and afternoon) classes, allowing fewer classrooms to be used. The report shows 59 of Surrey’s 99 elementary schools will have no empty classes by fall 2011. Those without space will be forced to bring in portables to accommodate the additional kids, and because kindergarten children must have a washroom nearby, it won’t be them, but students in higher grades that are pushed out of their schools and into portables. It’s anticipated schools such as A.J. McLellan, Cambridge, T.E. Scott and Hazelgrove elementaries will have 11 portables or more filed side-by-side on their school grounds. The report isn’t particularly surprising to Allen. And the facts and figures are likely ones the B.C. Ministry of Education is well aware of. But Allen feels it’s important the statistics are seen by the public – in black and white. Allen said there are children entering the school system who will never see the inside of a real school.

‘New BIA’ directors say they never put names forward last year

BIA schedules new day in court Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Members of the dueling White Rock BIAs were due back in court this morning (Friday), after one side accused the other of breaching court-imposed directions regarding notice of the upcoming election. In a statement issued Wednesday, Democracy First – a slate of 10 candidates running for the BIA board – claimed a Notice of Election violated the March 11 court order by stating a membership application had to be completed one week prior to the election in order for a person to vote, contrary to the ruling. The notice also didn’t advise members planning to sign up on election night of their immediate ability to vote, said Democracy First’s Larry Anschell, adding an offer to clarify the discrepancy in an ad also violates the order. An ad approved by both sides was booked to run in the Peace Arch News today. And

Air bound

while parliamentarian Eli Mina, who will chair Wednesday’s election, saw “no compelling need” to issue a separate notice, Anschell said he will ask the judge to rule whether the clarification should be mailed and hand-delivered. Bill Lawrence, president of the ‘old’ BIA, described the move as a delay tactic, a point Anschell disputes. “I didn’t make the mistake and this is a glaring mistake,” Anschell said Thursday. “I haven’t asked for a delay in the election. I’ve asked the judge to determine a corrective measure. “I’m being forced to bring it back to court because they wouldn’t comply with a simple correction notice.” Democracy First has named 10 candidates for the March 31 election. Helen Menci of Sugar and Spice, who was a director named to Anschell’s ‘new’ BIA board last July, said Wednesday she probably would also run. At least two others who were named to the

same board confirmed they are not running. Linda Adams and Alex Schopf also said that although they are listed on the whiterockbia. ca website as directors, they had never actually run for a position on the ‘new’ board. “I was named and I was served – along with four other people – but we did not put our names forward,” said Adams, who owns Iguana’s Beach Grill. Schopf, a manager at Charlie Don’t Surf, described his name on the board of directors list as “a well-intentioned mistake” by people who misinterpreted his interest in the topic as a desire to serve on the board. Anschell stood behind the nominations. None disputed their election until they were named in the legal action, Anschell said. On March 31, members will vote to fill 11 seats on a new BIA board. The election is to take place at 7:30 p.m. at the Star of the Sea Hall (upper hall), 15262 Pacific Ave.

Eco-plan will be finished in time, says Surrey planner

Environmentalists question OCP timing Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Environmental groups are asking why the City of Surrey is creating an ambitious master planning document without a completed review of environmentally sensitive ecosystems. The city is currently working on its Official Community Plan (OCP), an overarching document for development within Surrey for decades to come. Several other studies are key in building the OCP, including an Ecosystem Management Study (EMS), a biodiversity review currently being prepared. Deb Jack, president of the Surrey Environmental Partners (an umbrella group of several organizations with about 1,200 members), says the OCP should not be considered before the EMS is complete. “That study is the core of how we should be proceeding in the future for looking at any issues of land use,” Jack said this week. “It’s an integral part of wherever we’re going to go in the future insofar as making any plans.” Jean LaMontagne, Surrey’s general manager

of planning and development, said the two documents are being prepared simultaneously, but the EMS will be done first. Jack questions how the city could even think about proper planning without a good measurement of the ecosystems. “It all goes together, otherwise what is the purpose of doing certain things in certain areas, if you don’t know what the eco-management aspects are?” Jack said. LaMontagne points out the OCP is a huge document covering a lot of ground, much of it with no impact on ecosystem management. He said about seven chapters of the master document can be written – including portions on housing and transportation – without the EMS. He appreciates the concerns being put forward by the environmental groups. “I understand their point, but they don’t understand the process,” LaMontagne said. “The Ecosystem Management Study is going to be finished before the OCP, and it’s going to be built into the OCP.” Coun. Barinder Rasode said she’ll be asking

staff how much of the OCP will be undertaken without a complete environmental study. “I’ll certainly raise that issue in our shirtsleeve session,” Rasode said. Under the city’s Sustainability Charter, she believed the environmental review would be part of the OCP “naturally.” In addition to the EMS, the OCP being drafted right now is also being influenced by a huge number of policy documents introduced and completed since 2005. They include: • The Sustainability Charter, which requires all development projects to meet economic, environmental and social criteria. • The Economic Development Strategy, aimed at bringing jobs, densifying the City Centre and enhancing the agricultural areas. • The Housing Action Plan, which has undertaken to ensure there is enough housing for all residents. • The Social Plan, which calls for the appropriate services for those in need of social services. LaMontagne expects to have the proposed OCP to be made public in a month or so.

‘Too late’ for sea festival from page 1 just out of preserving our own sanity, it doesn’t seem worth it.” Todd confirmed he was contacted by city staff last month to discuss the society organizing the event, after a city Request for Proposal (RFP) issued last November yielded no response. Council decided to issue the request after receiving a report from leisure services director Rita Clarkson that indicated disorganization increased problems and costs at the 2009 event. Proposal criteria was posted, and interviews and a final selection were planned to take place last December. Todd – who has contested many of the allegations in Clarkson’s report – said the volunteer-driven Community of Lights Event Society didn’t apply because the RFP was “illegitimate.” “It was asking for a group of people to respond with proposals for a festival held on the August long weekend with events that were exactly like the Spirit of the Sea Festival. It didn’t refer to the festival by name, but it essentially photocopies our festival. We felt

they were stealing the festival.” Todd also said some of the criteria in the RFP was offensive. “Clearly, what they’re looking for is a professional event management company – not a group of volunteers – and that’s not what we are.” Despite not applying, Todd said he was contacted last month. “We got a phone call from (city manager) Peggy Clark in February... They were interested in exploring the possibility in having the society continue hosting the festival. “We met and we had a lengthy discussion, and we walked out feeling there was some hope that the city might be more accommodating than what was described in the RFP.” However, Todd said he now realizes it is no longer possible “to hold the festival as people have come to know it over the last 60 years. It’s too late. It was too late in February.” Clarkson told Peace Arch News a report on the issue is expected in April. She refused further comment. Clark was unreachable for comment.

Call centres save $750,000 from page 1 the eastern hospitals. They pick up after callers first navigate an automated system, and now answer “Fraser Health” instead of the name of the hospital the caller dialed. Officials couldn’t confirm the number of jobs eliminated, but estimated annual savings of about $750,000. “There are efficiencies created,” Fraser Health CEO Nigel Murray said. “We have an obligation to make taxpayers’ dolllars go as far as they possibly can into the delivery of health services.” Murray said care is being taken to ensure switchboard operators are familiar with the departments of each hospital they handle and any important local circumstances. One of the recently relocated operators told Peace Arch News the new system is “very confusing for a lot of people” – especially elderly callers expecting to hear an operator answer “Peace Arch Hospital” or “Mission Memorial Hospital.” “It’s not friendly any more, the system isn’t friendly,” the operator said. The new system has been in place

for several hospitals since fall. Langley Memorial – the last to lose local operators – is to join them by April. “With technology, whatever site you’re calling becomes less and less relevant within Fraser Health, because we are a truly integrated health care network,” Murray said. Asked if there are risks or dangers created by the restructured system, Murray said he wasn’t aware of any. “One of the great benefits of this type of system is standardization across the system,” he said. Emergency codes and alerts will be standardized because of the change. “Nurses can go from one site to another as it is all on the same platform,” Murray said. Efforts to merge services have been underway for more than a year but were accelerated last summer when Fraser Health announced wide-ranging cost controls to limit spending. Fraser is working with the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority and in some cases the Provincial Health Services Authority and Providence Health Services to combine services in the quest for savings.

amounts to $32 million in cuts, and will affect more than 200 agencies in the next two years. Challenged to honour the 2006 commitment, Minister of Finance Colin Hansen said government “will fully live up to the obligations that are finalized at the bargaining table,” the draft document states. Hogg said Thursday morning he had asked Minister of Housing and Social Development Rich Coleman for clarification on the issue. He confirmed meetings are scheduled and discussions are ongoing. Later that day, he relayed a hopeful message, stating by email that the province will honour all commitments, with the amount to be calculated through meetings “with all groups” to determine costs. An announcement was expected Thursday afternoon, after press deadline.

Hogg asks for clarification from page 1 “We’re already reeling from the many cuts and lack of supports for increased operating costs imposed by this government,” Wheeler writes. “We cannot absorb this further financial raid. There is no choice but for us to cut services to the people of South Surrey/White Rock.” Wheeler told Peace Arch News he has heard some organizations are predicting impacts including group-home closures. At the moment, that step is not on the table for Semiahmoo, he said. Reducing support hours for the agency’s clients, however, is. “Unless the government changes their mind, (the cut) has no choice except to cause major hurt for them,” Wheeler said. The issue was raised in the B.C. legislature this week. According to draft Hansard transcripts from March 23, the funding

editorial

Speak now, or forever hold your fees f Larry Anschell’s attempt to wrest control of the White Rock Business Improvement Association has failed in any way to catch business owners’ attention over the past two years, surely he’s got it now. Anschell – who in July announced that a new board of directors was at the BIA helm, despite objections from the board elected at the previous AGM – sent out a press release last week with a slate of candidates, calling itself Democracy First, for the court-ordered board re-election March 31. The slate calls for the end of tax levies from local business, instead relying on voluntary contributions and voluntary membership. The idea flies in the face of the BIA system as it was established provincially 20 years ago. Yet it is undoubtedly an intriguing one. Should Anschell’s slate form a majority next week, directors plan to eliminate the tax base that has funded the White Rock association and its programs since it was formed in 2005 “to promote, enhance and champion a vibrant White Rock business community.” Despite Democracy First candidate Johan Sandstrom’s contention that his slate has no intention of abolishing the BIA unless the membership decides otherwise, that would be one likely outcome. Candidates, no doubt, have already asked themselves how many business owners would simply hand over funds to an organization that has unreservedly axed its core funding. Even business owners who in the past extolled the virtues of the BIA must be wondering whether they would prefer to keep their money, rather than hand it over to a well-intentioned committee. Some of Anschell’s past arguments have been supportable, if not his methods. He has bulldoggedly forced city leaders to take notice of sometimes inexpert practices going on with funds they collected on behalf of the BIA (though it must be noted a city-ordered audit revealed no improprieties). However, this latest announcement should force those who think the BIA is truly worth their funds to make their opinions loud and clear next Wednesday. Otherwise, it would be no surprise if members opted to hang onto their hard-earned dollars.

Up and down the sideline he paced, flailing his arms and yelling until his voice was raspy, and his face red. At one point, with his team trailing, a timeout was called. The coach knelt down in front of the bench, and with the rest of the team huddled around, lit into one of his players for a series of perceived mistakes. “You can’t do this to me!” he hollered. (Funny, I always thought it was about the kids.) It was like that for most of the game, until Yale stormed back and ended up winning. And the fact that this win validated the coach’s methods bugged me even more. Conversely, after the final buzzer, it took Dykstra a good 10 minutes to get from the floor and into the locker room because he had to run a gauntlet of well-wishers for his team’s second-place finish – former players, young WRCA students, fellow teachers and parents among them. People who appreciated what he’d done and how he’d done it, regardless of the outcome. Had the result been different, I had a hard time imagining a similar scene unfolding at the other side of the gym. I mentioned my thoughts on the opposing coach’s style to Dykstra after the game, as the crowd thinned. “Well, it’s a championship style tonight,” Dykstra said, ever gracious in defeat. He’s right, of course. All the yelling, all the screaming and angry gestures – it worked. The other coach’s team won. Still, there’s something to be said for the process.

Torchbearer’s photo finish Editor: I’m hoping the kind people at the Peace Arch News and the community will be able to help me out and make my mom ecstatically happy. You see, last month, my mom was a torchbearer along 152 Street from 18 to 16 Avenue, passing Tim Horton’s, the Rialto Theatre and White Spot. It was the pinnacle of her – and my – Olympic experience, even before the Olympics started. My mom and I have been completely, 100 per cent invested since Vancouver was awarded the Olympics in 2003, and spent a wonderful 2½ weeks last month taking in the crowds and excitement that engulfed Canada as we all cheered for our amazing athletes. But there’s been a bit of a shadow over our experience because, unfortunately, our pictures of my mom’s once-in-a-lifetime experience didn’t come out so well. My mom applied to be a torchbearer more than a year ago, and was thrilled when she was chosen. Then she found out that not only was she going to run with the Olympic flame, but she was going to run with it in our hometown, and her excitement became an overflowing fount of pure joy. While nothing will ever rob her of these memories, she was still sad our pictures couldn’t help her properly share her experience with friends and family who weren’t able to make it out to see her run. We’ve contacted all our friends who saw my mom run with the Olympic torch, but the pictures are blurry or very dark, and I was hoping – desperately hoping – that maybe other people who were out there might have better pictures of my mom running with the flame. We did receive one lovely picture from Coca-Cola, but other than that we’ve been a bit out of luck. Is there any way you could put an article in the paper asking those who were out there cheering – and wow, were there a lot of people out at 6 a.m. – and took pictures if they wouldn’t mind emailing some of them to either my mom or myself? We have a torch, a uniform, and now all we’re lacking is a huge framed picture of my mom having the time of her life! Emily Graham, Surrey Editor’s note: Over to you, readers. Email editor@peacearchnews.com and I will forward any photos to Emily and her mother, Maria.

Lauren’s lesson on our culture Editor: Some ambassadors do not get paid or have the title. They are not invited to state dinners and do not have the prestige of the job. Yet, they do more for their country in an hour than many of their esteemed counterparts ever could. They are the regular citizens of

this land, who depict what it is to be Canadian with a single gesture. I am referring to someone I do not know; I met her at her garage sale. Her name is Lauren Boni. Twenty-four teachers from China came to Canada for a two-month English course. Three of them came to White Rock for a weekend and I wanted to show them the sights and what Canadians are like. As an immigrant from South Africa, I see the people of this land with different eyes and wanted to explain this to the educators from China, that would tell the story to family, friends and their students. Language is embedded in a culture. If we understand the people, it helps

us to speak their language. Lauren had a garage sale. The three teachers worked their way into Lauren’s garage, while I explained the Canadian tradition where we sell what we no longer need. When Lauren heard they were teachers on their way back to China, she gave them what they wanted: “Free, to take home.” The Chinese women did not understand. I explained Lauren was being kind enough to donate the books, bags and trinkets to them, to keep, forever – free of charge. They could take everything they wanted without paying. They were astonished. Bags of children’s books will fly

back to Beijing on Sunday. The vocabulary of my guests increased. They added: kindhearted, generous, friendly, helpful, to their sentences starting with “Canadians.” When they hand out books and gifts in the community of Fangshan, they will tell this tale. They wanted me to thank you, Lauren. From teachers of the foreign language, English. Your gesture summarized a twomonth training course in culture and language. It is not what we say, it is what we do. You did in an hour what no words could ever explain. With gratitude, ambassador Lauren. Audrey Nolte Painter, White Rock

Are ﬁreﬁghters north of North Bluff Road much different than those to the south? Is it the White Rock water? Is it the grace of God?a Bob Holden

Brian Giebelhaus photo

Richmond firefighter Harold Kiesewetter (right) protests with fellow White Rock resident Doug Morison – joined by each man’s son – at city hall Tuesday, over White Rock’s consideration of contracting fire services from Surrey.

White Rock fire safety a hot topic Editor: Re: Fire contract better be good, March 19 letters. I read Wayne Baldwin’s letter regarding the firefighters securing building materials on a roof in the middle of a very windy night, and was left a little puzzled. I was impressed with the actions of the firefighters involved. I do know that while speaking to a fire captain in Mississauga, Ont. more than 20 years ago, I was surprised to learn at that time only 14 per cent of calls were for fires. The rest were from other emergencies, and I suspect there is a similar pattern across the country. What puzzled me, however, was Baldwin’s suggestion firefighters from Surrey would only attend such a call if it was contracted. In my inexperienced mind, I thought this call either fit the contracted job description of White Rock Fire Department or, more likely, our firefighters saw an emergency and dealt with it. Are firefighters north of North Bluff Road much different than those to the south? Is it the White Rock water? Is it the grace of God? To paraphrase: who negotiates for the people of White Rock at midnight now? The city manager? The council? What happens if the White Rock fire captain doesn’t think Baldwin’s example is a fire department duty? Having said all that, a referendum is likely a good idea, lay out the facts, crunch the numbers. One thing is likely certain. If more highrises become a way of life in White Rock, the firefighting equipment is going to have to be upgraded to protect them. Bob Holden, White Rock Q As a 30-year member of the White Rock Fire Rescue Auxiliary, I am writing to address the impending decision in regards to the White Rock Fire Department.

Today, the city retains the services of 20 auxiliary firefighters. Our main task is to assist the career staff and augment their abilities to respond to all types of calls whether they are routine or an emergency. We are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Typically we are able to staff a second response vehicle in two to three minutes. We routinely respond to fires, alarms, medical calls, MVAs, beach fires, flooded basements and just about any other kind of assistance the people of White Rock may require. I am sure the majority of the residents of the city are aware a proposal is being considered for the contracting out of these services to our neighbors to the north. We believe that this raises a number of questions: How will response times be affected? How will calls be prioritized? What will happen to response times if the Surrey Fire Department is involved in a major incident? Will non-emergency assistance calls that are now handled in a timely manner by our own firefighters continue to be serviced? What assurances do we have that the costs associated with contracting out will not be raised arbitrarily in the future? Will public safety and education be as high a priority as it is now? Today, we have an award-winning fire hall positioned in the most efficient location for quick response, staffed by well-trained career and auxiliary firefighters using the latest in equipment to respond to a variety of calls. If this is lost and contracting out does not meet our needs, the costs of rebuilding our own service would be insurmountable. If this situation concerns you as much as it does the auxiliary members of your fire department, please make your views known to the mayor and city councillors. Robert Heath, White Rock

Parking violation A Richmond woman earned multiple fines under the Motor Vehicle Act after inadvertently parking her Honda CRV in landscaping fronting the South Surrey Rec Centre last week. Surrey RCMP Const. Peter Neily said the March 15 incident occurred around 9:30 a.m. when the woman, in her 40s, accelerated too much while attempting to park. No one was injured, although the vehicle did sustain damage from driving over boulders in the landscaping. Both fire crews and police attended the scene. The driver was ticketed for failing to produce a driver’s licence and driving without due care and attention. The latter comes with a $368 penalty.

Trees checked Pine trees around South Surrey’s Bakerview Park will be checked for mountain pine beetle following a citizen’s concern the notorious pest may be threatening local stands. Parks manager Owen Croy confirmed this week the city’s inspector will “review all pine trees on city land in the vicinity of Bakerview Park” as a result of the report. Croy said he is confident the pest – which has ravaged forests in B.C.’s Interior – is not a significant issue locally. There has been no evidence of any infestations sweeping through city lands, he said. Forests ministry officials agree the threat is low. “Any kind of outbreak like what you see in the Interior is

A gas pipeline near 168 Street and 48 Avenue was damaged Tuesday, causing traffic to be diverted.

Service shut off for 100 South Surrey homes

Gas leak closes 10 blocks Damage to a natural gas line near 168 Street and 48 Avenue closed the north-south thoroughfare to traffic for nearly 36 hours this week. Traffic along 10 blocks of 168 Street was diverted while Terasen Gas crews worked to repair the pipeline and restore service to area customers. Terasen’s Marcus Wong said the gas line was inadvertently hit

around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, during repairs and service work in the area. Efforts to stop the flow of gas and repair the damage began immediately, Wong said. Those efforts included visiting each of approximately 100 homes affected to shut off service. The pipeline was repaired as of 10:45 a.m. Wednesday. The road remained closed between 40 and 50 avenues until service

was restored, just after midnight Wednesday. Affected customers were relit as the repairs progressed. Wong said the leak posed “no danger whatsoever.” “We deal with pipeline hits throughout the years. It’s a relatively common thing. We know exactly what we need to do,” he said. - Tracy Holmes

An Earth Hour 2010 celebration will be held at First United Church Saturday, to put a community touch on a global effort. From 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. March 27, people around the world are encouraged to turn off their lights in a stand against climate change. White Rock resident Leslie Payne has taken part in the World Wildlife Fund initiative since it began three years ago, and is now organizing a family-friendly event to involve the community. She is inviting the public to bring a dish to the 15385 Semiahmoo Ave. church at 6 p.m. for a potluck. Dinner will be followed by candlelit yoga led by instructors of FloMotion Fitness and Yoga Studio on Five Corners. “The idea is to give local businesses an opportunity to come and participate and encourage people to shop within the community.” The evening will also feature a campfire singalong, which will be held in the church parking lot, weather permitting, and musical entertainment. Payne said any local musicians are also welcome to drop in and perform. “It’s a pretty organic event,” she said, noting there will also be dis-

Long lines for Olympic flea market Jeff Nagel Black Press

Now that the Olympics are over, VANOC is selling off thousands of pieces of equipment and merchandise no longer needed in what amounts to a giant garage sale at a warehouse in Delta. Everything from furniture and appliances to tools and fire extinguishers are available, often at bargain-bin prices. Even props like the snowboards and canoes that were used in the Games’ opening and closing ceremonies are up for grabs. The most popular items – deeply discounted big screen plasma TVs and computers – are doled out in small batches each day. Sales so far have been limited to VANOC staff and volunteers, but the general public will get their crack starting Saturday at 9 a.m. Getting the best deals will be tricky though. Those interested have been lining up hours before the warehouse actually opens, even though it’s been insider-access only so far. And the lines are likely to lengthen when the sale goes public. The giant 2010 flea market is running at the VANOC main distribution centre at 7530 Hopcott Rd. in Delta and there’s only road-side parking. Buyers must take items at time of sale. Unlike everything else VANOC has sold so far, you can pay with credit

Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies? One of its objectives was to “strengthen the capacity of Canadian, U.S. and Mexican administrators... to analyze, comprehend and anticipate North American integration...in seven closed-door workshops,” with water prominently on the agenda. How many people have even heard of this other CSIS? North America is not alone in facing impending water problems, although this is the one of most immediate and local concern. Worldwide there are problems: China’s moves to establish hegemony over the headwaters of many of the rivers which rise in the Himalayas and irrigate so much farmland in southeast Asia cause concern; Egypt and Ethiopia dispute allocation of the Nile waters; access to the Jordan is an important, though understated, component of the Near East imbroglio; and this does not exhaust the list. A separate element in discussion of international water is the extent of privatization and the role of the private sector in determining access to and the price of domestic water Q Tomorrow (March 27), the City of Surrey will host an Earth Hour celebration at Central City Plaza between 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. to showcase a sustainable Surrey with candlelights, music, dancing and fun activities.

lifestyles Bozo Skare remembered as passionate contributor to community

‘He always put Canada first’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Bozo Skare was a “wheelerdealer” with a strong sense of family, a love for his homeland and a passion for helping people. “Nobody helped my dad. He always helped others,” said Danica Ivancic, the oldest of Skare’s four surviving children. “Dad was an icon, unique in his own way. He liked helping people.” Skare, known in White Rock as a passionate contributor to civic public hearings and meetings about the future of the Bozo Skare town centre, died in Royal Columbian Hospital Feb. 6, hours after suffering a massive heart attack. He was 83. Ivancic said that though her father’s death was unexpected, his legacy spans decades. Skare, the fourth of seven children in his family, was borne in Biorine, a village in the Imotski region of Croatia, in 1926. He fled communist Yugoslavia in 1957, spending a year in refugee camps before emigrating to Canada, all to find a better life for his wife, Mara, and their children. The family joined him here in 1965. Building on a business acumen that was evident from a young age, the father of six was determined to achieve financial success and a secure future. He turned to property development and building projects after a stint owning a mink farm proved less lucrative and more onerous than the effort was worth. Ivancic said as a father he was “a bit strict”; and as a businessman, he was “never greedy.” There were few families in Croatia who didn’t benefit from his kindness, and many people both in his homeland and locally came to him for advice, she added. And while Skare’s love for Croatia and its people never wavered, he considered Canada “the best of the best,” Ivancic said. He “couldn’t wait” to become a Canadian citizen, she said. “He always put Canada first.” Skare’s estate includes the family home on five acres, business property in uptown White Rock, property at 16 Avenue and King George Boulevard and an 80-acre parcel on 20 Avenue.

Hilltop Medical would like to announce that effective May 1, 2010

Dr. Dalton Chen will be retiring from his family practice and Dr. R. Vanukuru will be taking over Dr. Chen’s practice Hilltop Medical would like to wish Dr. Chen well in his new future endeavors and also welcome Dr. Vanukuru to the clinic. Dr. Chen would like to thank all his patients for the privilege of looking after them over the years, he will miss them.

At the time of his death, he had been planning to add 60 acres in Langley to the mix, Ivancic said. He also built a mansion in his native village, a homestead he returned to every summer and one he hoped would further strengthen his family’s Croatian roots. Ivancic said contrary to recent reports, she is not aware of any plans her dad may have had to sell the family’s Russell Avenue property, a strip mall

that includes such businesses as Shin Ji Ru Japanese Restaurant and The Bookworm II book store. She didn’t rule out the possibility, but said it is too soon to think about it. And while her father died sooner than he’d planned – he always said he would live to see 90 years, she said – Ivancic is comforted by the fact he didn’t suffer and that he had a full life. “His dreams were fulfilled. He died in peace,” she said.

April is Flea & Parasite Control Month

Cleaner ocean discharges will be costly

Sewage bills set to soar Jeff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouver homeowners face soaring bills in the years ahead to clean up the sewage effluent they pump into the ocean unless Ottawa and Victoria stump up big contributions. That’s the warning in a new report to Metro directors, who are on the verge of approving a new liquid waste plan committing the region to spend $1.4 billion replacing the Lions Gate and Iona sewage treatment plants over the next two decades. Both release sewage to sea with only primary treatment, rather than more advanced secondary treatment, which removes more of the contaminants that threaten fish and other marine life. The average household now pays $160 to $180 on their annual property tax bills to Metro Vancouver for sewage services. That’s projected to climb to at least $300 per year by 2020 and $500 by 2030, according to the report. But the bite will be much worse in Vancouver and the North Shore, the areas that bear the bulk of the costs because they directly use the two aging plants slated for replacement. North Shore homes would pay almost $900 each by 2020 and nearly $1,400 each by 2030 as a

result of the $400-million Lions Gate replacement. The numbers are worst-case scenarios that assume no contributions from senior governments. If one-third of the costs are shouldered by Ottawa or Victoria, the 2030 costs drop to between $380 to $917, and to $290 to $520 if two-thirds of costs are covered. But big federal and provincial deficits may preclude any assistance at all, the report notes. Metro has been under pressure for years from environmental groups to accelerate the sewage treatment upgrades, but new federal guidelines adopted in February have increased the urgency. Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, chair of the Metro waste management committee, says the higher sewage fees have the same effect as jacking property taxes by several hundred dollars. “We’re worried for our taxpayers being able to shoulder the bill,” he said. Metro taxpayers are also now starting to pay more on their water bills to finance the $800-million Seymour-Capilano water filtration project. Moore puts that in the same category as the sewage upgrades, noting that the water project was driven by new national water quality standards in the wake

of the tainted water tragedy 10 years ago in Walkerton, Ont. “The national government makes a change on that basis and we’re left paying $800 million for a new filtration plant,” he said. “There’s no financial accountability coming with these policy changes.” Moore noted homeowners face not just higher sewage and water bills, but the likelihood of sharply higher fees for recycling and garbage disposal and potential tax hikes to help fund TransLink. “We’ve got taxpayers who are screaming,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said. He said the cascading costs are “making it prohibitively expensive” for people to live here, adding the only choice for some may soon be to “move to Prince George.” The sewage costs could run even higher. Metro’s board has been advised to replace the Lions Gate plant by 2020 and the Iona plant by 2030. Advancing the Iona project to 2020 as well would push up the costs faster, adding up to $50 more per household by 2015. The case for replacing Lions Gate sooner is because it empties into the more confined waters near Burrard Inlet, while Iona’s outfall juts deep into better circulating Georgia Strait.

lifestyles Birthday boys forgo gifts in lieu of donations for Haiti

Giving up presents, giving back to others Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Adam Hannaford, 4, and Duncan Miller, 5, raised hundreds of dollars for earthquake relief in Haiti last weekend, by asking guests at their joint birthday party to bring donations instead of presents. Seventeen children and parents attended the celebration March 21, and a total of $813.75 was collected for the Red Cross. Duncan’s mother, Rebecca Miller, said the idea was first discussed amongst parents of students at South Surrey’s Brilliant Star Montessori Preschool and Kindergarten, which Adam and Duncan both attend. “People end up spending so much on gifts,” Miller said. “(We thought) it would be a much better idea to put the money towards something beneficial. At that time, the Haiti earthquake had just happened, and we thought it would be a great cause.” Miller said Adam and Duncan gained a better understanding about giving back through their teacher, Farrah Marasco, who discussed concepts around the situation in Haiti, such as the showing of kindness and generosity by people who have come together to help the country.

“She talks a lot about virtues and thinking about the well-being of others,” Miller said. “I think it was easier for them to understand what we were talking about.” Neither of the boys were upset about not receiving presents, she added. “They didn’t miss it at all. They never said a word, either of them. They were just both really happy... and they understood.” The birthday party was held at Langley’s Flip City Gymnastics Centre, where children painted pictures that will be sent to Haiti through the Red Cross. “We’re hoping they’ll reach some children; from children to children,” Miller said. Instead of traditional goodybags, the kids received a plant and flowerpot, which they painted with their handprints. Miller said the day was such a success, she doesn’t know if she’d throw future birthday parties any other way. “These are the kinds of things that, in my mind, get our next generation off to a good start and thinking more about helping others and thinking more about the world. “You’re limiting the materialism and educating them on being good citizens.”

Provincial sales tax on the sale of used cars will increase by five per cent effective July 1.

Private car sales tax to increase Jeff Nagel Black Press

If you want to buy a car, boat or airplane without losing an extra five per cent slice to the provincial government, better start your engines. Come July 1, vehicles sold privately will require 12 per cent provincial sales tax to Victoria – up from seven per cent now – as a result of a tax hike included in the provincial budget. The increase is projected to raise an extra $125 million this year and $171 million in 2011. The intent, according to the government, is to level the playing field between private sellers and used-car dealerships, which will continue to charge 12 per cent once the harmonized sales tax takes effect. “That inequity has been flagged for us and the problems that it caused around curbers and the inappropriate sale of used cars by purportedly private individuals,” Finance Minister Colin Hansen said in Question Period after the budget announcement earlier this month. “It’s a tax grab, plain and simple,” NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston said, arguing tougher licensing and enforcement of dealers could have stopped

curbing, the practice where car dealers pretend to be private sellers. As with home renovations – where the higher tax load from the HST may fuel more under-the-table activity – more used vehicle transactions may go by way of the black market, Ralston said. He called it odd that the tax change comes at the same time the province is reducing the tax on luxury vehicles. “Less tax on the new Beamer, more tax on the used Chev – is there any clearer illustration that the HST is gouging ordinary British Columbians?” Ralston asked. Hansen said small business owners in northern B.C. often need vehicles costing more than $55,000 for business. Private sellers pay the same share of tax as dealers in most other provinces, he said. Vehicles modified for wheelchairs or with special controls for the disabled will get a complete exemption from the tax. Hansen denied there was any secrecy around the increase, which was spelled out in the March 2 budget speech but did not get media attention until two days later.

Olympic costs, benefits debated as deals unveiled Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. government gave itself a gold medal Monday for hosting a successful Olympics and Paralympics, claiming a string of business deals unveiled during the 17 days of the games was just the beginning of the payoff. “All the initial results that we are seeing show that this has been really an unparalleled success,” said Iain Black, minister of small business, technology and economic development. Black identified a dozen agreements, including a $24 million expansion by Pacific Bionergy Corp. of its Prince George wood pellet operation, with sales to fuel for power production in Europe. Other deals included a biomass power demonstration project by Nexterra

which provided MLAs and business guests with $1 million worth of Olympic tickets, and rented the Terminal City Club for receptions. Black said there were more than 100 events, including receptions and tours, with 11,000 participants. B.C. cabinet ministers held nearly 80 meetings with Jenna Hauck photo potential investors.

news No windfall, but TransLink shouldn’t lose on Olympics

Games transit may turn profit Jeff Nagel Black Press

Higher fare revenue during the Olympics should ensure TransLink at least breaks even on the extra service it added to carry huge numbers of passengers to free concerts, pavilions and street parties. Vanoc is paying TransLink $17 million to cover the extra transit added to handle Games spectators – whose tickets included an extra fee for transit use – as well as workers and volunteers. But far more people boarded the system than the expected numbers going to official Games venues. Final statistics released Monday show an average of 1.58 million people used transit each weekday of the Olympics, up 31 per cent from normal levels. That meant running most of the system at or near capacity during the Games and running not just the 160 reserve buses TransLink had readied but still more by raiding spares in the maintenance yards. Those extra costs should be covered by the cash fares as well as discount tickets and passes sold during the Games, spokesman Ken Hardie said. “We’ll probably do a little bit better than break-even,” he said, adding the accounting isn’t finished but a big profit isn’t expected. More than 26 million people rode transit during the 17 days of the Olympics. Canada Line carried an average of 228,000 people per Olympic weekday – more than double a normal weekday. It hit more than triple normal levels on weekends. The Expo and Millennium Lines racked up 394,000 trips per weekday, up 64 per cent, but that ballooned to more than triple

Revenues generated during the Olympics should ensure that TransLink breaks even on its service during the Games. normal on Olympic Saturdays and four and a half times normal levels on Sundays. SeaBus also ran at more than double its normal weekday levels, carrying nearly 44,000 daily. On weekends, SeaBuses carried around five times their normal numbers. West Coast Express carried 58 per cent more passengers than normal, or 17,400 per day. One train rolled with a record 2,970 passengers, more than double the 1,350 seated capacity. Regular buses, however, recorded only an eight per cent increase, to 896,000 daily boardings during the Games. That didn’t mean Olympics travellers shunned the bus system, Hardie said. Instead, the lower number there is because of a roughly 30 per cent decline in regular transit passengers. Universities weren’t in session, many people scheduled holidays

during the Games and still others found ways to telework rather than commute, Hardie said. Building the price of transit into event tickets is something that could be pursued in the future with other major sports or cultural events, Hardie said. “If we can work an arrangement like that with the Lions and the Canucks and some of the promoters that put on some of these big shows, then we’ll do that,” he said. The theory is that concert- or game-goers whose tickets give them transit use would ride instead of drive and park, but making spectators pay for transit that they might not use would be a decision for event organizers. TransLink quickly scaled back service to regular levels once the Games ended and is dependent on increased funding to carry out an aggressive expansion plan supported by Metro Vancouver mayors.

Shopping in China

TRAVEL & CRUISES

By Bert Stevens - Marlin Travel ubiquitous large format calculator. Whole transactions can be wordless as you hand the calculator back and forth. Typically, if shopping for inexpensive items, go 25-50%. If the item is very expensive, it’s better to start lower, say 10% of the asking price. There’s nothing more disappointing in a bargaining game than starting too high. Before you have your heart set on something, bargain a little for something to which you are less attached and can therefore walk away if need be. Small inexpensive

China is a fantastic shopping destination. From bamboo chopsticks to Cultural Revolution memorabilia, whatever your interest, you’re bound to be able to buy it in China. As the world’s factory, you can ﬁnd just about anything. Shanghai is hailed as a ‘Shopping Paradise’ and an ‘Oriental Paris’. Nanjing Road has shopping malls and shops offering a wide variety of wares, some of the stores are centuries old. Huaihai Road is celebrated for its elegance, featuring top-end designer brands from all over the world. North Sichuan Road offers good inexpensive merchandise and is always the ﬁrst choice for a great bargain. Everything in China is negotiable. Shopping, buying and selling are all games. The seller plays and the buyer plays. Have no fear, in the touristtrade, everyone’s out to make a deal and you just have to learn the rules. Nothing is bought or sold without the

items like tea pots, fans and chopsticks can all be good things to buy for souvenirs. Warm up a little before you

get into the higher ticket items. Being in a rush is the bane of the bargainers’ existence. Time is not on your side, the

vendor has all the time in the world, he can sell his trinket tomorrow. A good way to defend yourself against the shopping demons that force you to pay too much for stuff you didn’t really want is to decide as you look at something what it’s worth to you. This helps to focus your bargaining and when the price goes over what you want to pay, walk away. After you reach an impasse and the price is still too high, give your final offer and walk away slowly but looking pointedly at other items. Usually you are called back. The vendor is making a profit. They are not going to sell you anything out of the goodness of their hearts. It’s a game and it’s fun to play.

arts & entertainment …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Actor lands roles ranging from tragedy to Disney 7:30 p.m. at the school’s Wheelhouse Theatre, his face is also becoming well known to Winnipeg television viewers in a brief, but tragic role. Goodall is one of the featured actors in the Winnipeg Police Service’s Just Slow Down TV ad campaign, shot in North Vancouver over a couple of days last November. He’s one of four fresh-faced young players portraying teen friends who are involved a fatal head-on collision in the shocking, graphic ads.

Actor Sean Goodall.

Keen young actor Sean Goodall is getting to work with both ends of the dramatic spectrum. While the personable and upbeat 17-year-old Earl Marriott Grade 12 student is busy preparing for a plum comedic and singing role as candlestick servant, Lumiere, in the school’s upcoming production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, which runs April 14-17 and 21-24 at

While there are numerous factors that contribute to the accident, the ads suggest, there is one big one – travelling at a speed too great to react to unexpected situations. Four young friends returning from a casual basketball game and a stressed businessman hurrying home to his son’s birthday party present both sides of a scenario with grim repercussions. For the young girl driver of an old Honda Civic – who survives

the impact of the crash – comes the awful realization that her boyfriend Jonathan (Goodall) and their best friends, the couple in the back seat, are dead. For the wife and son of the businessman, also killed in the collision, comes the fateful doorstep call of a police officer with horrible news to convey. The message is not lost on Goodall. see page 35

Saturday, April 3 2:30 PM & 7:00 PM

My uncle hired a lawyer to prepare a will which gave me his house in White Rock and a bequest of $300,000. He died, and things were going well as a grant of letters probate was issued from the Supreme Court. I could hardly wait to move into the house. I have now been told that a disappointed beneÀciary has discovered that the secretary/receptionist at the law ofÀce witnessed the will when she was only 18, and this makes the will void. I have previously been told that letters probate is the court’s approval that the will is OK, so surely they can’t take the house away from me now, can they? Yes. As one of the witnesses was under 19 the will is void so you are not legally entitled to receive your bequests. However, you are entitled to sue the lawyer who prepared the will for the damages that you have suffered.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Peace Arch United’s premier soccer team has overcome a roller-coaster regular season with a strong playoff run

‘Strange’ year leads to Pakenham berth Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

File photos

Peace Arch United’s last trip to the Pakenham Cup finals, in 2008, yielded a win over the Chilliwack Rapids. This year, PAU will face the PoCo Rangers for the title.

ast fall, if you’d have asked any member of Peace Arch United’s men’s premier soccer team what they thought of their chances of advancing to the finals of the Pakenham Cup, you would not have got the most confident answer. Sure, they’d likely spew the standard cliches – about how they’re working hard and how it’s a long season and how anything is possible – but really, deep down, they might not have believed that it was possible. Back then, the team had much more immediate concerns – like finding a coach and trying to improve on its middle-of-the-pack position in Fraser Valley Soccer League standings. “Yeah, we had a pretty tough start to the year,” said Peace Arch co-captain John Collins. “We were used to (winning), so it was really strange... guys were looking around like ‘What’s going on here?’” But early struggles aside, the Pakenham finals are again where Peace Arch finds itself, for the fifth time in six years, after knocking off higher seeds Abbotsford and Athletic Club B.C. in earlier rounds. To start the year, Peace Arch – just two years removed from Pakenham and league titles – was forced to bring in a new coach to replace Mark McQueen, who moved to the Semiahmoo Soccer Club last year, and the experiment failed. According to Collins, the new coach couldn’t make the necessary time commitments needed to lead the premier outfit, which left the leadership reigns in the hands of the teams’ captains – Collins, Gareth Wiltshire and Jackson Reeve – as well as the team manager, Collins’ father, John Sr. It wasn’t the most ideal arrangement, Collins said, although he was quick to praise his father for handling “all the behind-the-scenes-stuff ” like scheduling and hiring referees. By mid-November, PAU – normally one of the Fraser Valley premier loop’s top squads – was treading water with a 3-4-3 record, and eventually finished the regular season in sixth place in the 10-team league, with a 5-7-5 record. And though the season didn’t end with a momentum-turning winning streak – they were 1-1-1 over the final three weeks – Peace Arch did finally find itself a coach, when veteran player Dave Hleucka agreed to hang up his cleats and focus on coaching. “He really brought some stability to the team, and the results have come. Before,

nobody really knew who was (in charge),” Collins said. Of course, in a season as topsy-turvy as this one, the change didn’t last long. Due to injuries, Hleucka was forced back onto the pitch, which is where he’s stayed even now that injured players have returned. “He was playing as good as he’d played all year,” explained Collins. “So we just told him that he couldn’t take himself out of the lineup.” So it was without a true coach – again – that PAU marched into the Pakenham Cup playoffs, first defeating Abbotsford, which finished one spot ahead of Peace Arch in the regular season, and then, in semifinals, Athletic Club B.C., who were the FVSL’s top team during the regular season, losing just once in 17 games. “It’s been great, just great, to be peaking at this time of year,” Collins said. The finals are set for Saturday, April 3, 2:45 p.m. at South Surrey Athletic Park, against the Port Coquitlam Rangers. Peace Arch is 1-1-1 against PoCo this season, with the one loss coming during the team’s tumultuous first few months. “When they beat us, we were a different team then,” Collins said.

Banner day The Pakenham Cup is one of four FVSL title games being staged April 3 at South Surrey Athletic Park. At 11 a.m., the U21 championship kicks off between the GEU Strikers and Port Moody Gunners, followed by a 1 p.m. Presidents Cup (Div. 1) game between Guildford United and the Fraser Valley Red Devils. On an adjacent field at 12:30 p.m., the Masters championship will be decided between Mission FC and the Port Coquitlam Castillians FC.

Thirty of Surrey’s best high school basketball players – including seven from the Peninsula – will take to the floor at Enver Creek Secondary tonight (Friday) in the Surrey RCMP Classic All-star games. The girls tip off at 6 p.m., followed by the boys at 7:30. During the half time break of the boys game, more than $4,500 in scholarships will be presented. “It’s the biggest year we’ve had in terms of the dollar value of the scholarships,” said Rick Inrig, one of the organizers of the Surrey RCMP Classic tournament – staged in January of each year – and the all-star game that follows the conclusion of the high school season. Two new scholarships have been added for 2010. Each is worth $750 and are named in honour of Chris Mohan and Ed Schellenberg, two innocent victims in the Surrey Six shootings of October, 2007. A third $750 scholarship is in the name of Roger Pierlett, a Cloverdale RCMP officer killed while on duty in 1974. Five other scholarships worth roughly $500 each will also be awarded. Nine of the boys chosen for the game were award winners at the Surrey RCMP Classic tournament

in January including Riley Barker of the White Rock Christian Academy Warriors, who was the tournament’s MVP. Barker’s WRCA teammate, Eli Mara, was also a first-team all-star in January, and

‘Rare’ event a highlight for busy ice-dancing duo Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

It’s been a busy few months for the Peninsula icedancing pair of Keith Gagnon and Tarrah Harvey. They’ve had to balance day-to-day life – including university – with practice, Canadian Figure Skating Championships and myriad other skating commitments. “It’s been busy. I had to take a break from school for nationals, but then I jumped back into it after that, and it all just kind of snowballs from there,” said Gagnon from Simon Fraser University. And last week, with no competitions on the agenda, they decided against rest and chose instead to take part in the Ice Age 2010, which combined skating with live music and was held last Saturday in North Vancouver. The event was part of the 2010 Cultural Olympiad, and was staged on the final day of the Paralympic Games. But though it meant another day on skates, it was a welcome relief from the rigours of competition. “When we were (rehearsing) for it, it was just so relaxing because we didn’t have to worry about time violations or deductions,” Gagnon said. “We could just go out there and enjoy ourselves and have fun, which is the whole reason we started doing this in the first place. “It’s nice to let my inner-perfectionist take a bit of a break once in awhile.” The event, at Harry Jerome Arena, featured the Hard Rubber Orchestra, figure skater Kathryn Kang, and musicians Bob Robertson and Joe Keithley, among others. “We don’t usually have an entire orchestra show up to play for us,” laughed Gagnon. “It’s definitely rare.” Gagnon’s “inner-perfectionist” didn’t get to rest earlier this year, at senior nationals in London, Ont. It was the ice dance pair’s first foray at the senior level, after finishing second at juniors last year. They finished sixth – the event was won by Olympic gold medallists Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue. “It was awesome, especially for our first year,” Gagnon said. “It means we’re still getting better and better, and it was pretty amazing to be out there along with Tessa and Scott.” The South Surrey duo are currently taking a bit of a break as they wait for the International Skating Union (ISU) to announce new competition guidelines. There’s talk, Gagnon explained, of the ISU axing the compulsory skate portion of competition, and possibly changing others. And rather than work on routines that may possibly have to be altered once a decision is made, they’ve decided to cool their heels for the time being.

“We’re just kind of waiting on that, waiting for something to happen,” Gagnon said. In the meantime, they’ll work on the neverending process of securing sponsorship funding – a challenge for most Canadian amateur athletes. But it’s an even tougher task for Gagnon and Harvey, considering that any sponsors they obtain personally are not allowed to conflict with Skate Canada’s own corporate sponsorships. “And they have a lot of sponsors,” Gagnon said. “So if they have a sponsor from a car company, we can’t go get one from another car company. It gets really hard to find ones they agree with.” Anyone interested in sponsorship can get more information by visiting the pair’s Facebook page, Tarrah Harvey and Keith Gagnon Fan Club.

sports Home playoff game within reach

Bayside looks to win third straight minutes in, and Cass Conkin added a try less than 10 minutes later. However, the rest of the half was controlled by Castaway, who scored three tries in six minutes, and added a penalty kick for good measure, to lead by 10 at the half. Sharks’ Chris Pack sandwiched a pair of penalty kicks around the halftime break, and Bayside also got second-half tries from Zach Thorpe and Isimeli Sigarua to retake the lead. In the 72nd minute, just two minutes after Sigarua’s try, Castaway added three points with a penalty kick, but the Sharks held strong the rest of the way. “We had a great start, but then Castaway really came at us and scored all their points in about a 15-minute span,” Benoit said. “But our second half was awesome. And earlier in the year, that wasn’t the case. In those games, we were just holding on by the end. “That’s the sign of a good team – the ability to come back.” The Sharks also knocked off the Wanderers in first division play, 32-24. Sharks’ tries were notched by Mike Pinfield, Tom Myring, Corey Wood and Spencer Thorpe, who had three. The second-division Sharks blanked the Ridge Meadows Bruins 29-0.

Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Bayside Sharks will be trolling the waters for their third straight win – and a possible home playoff date – when they take on third-place Capilano, Saturday at Vancouver’s Klahanie Park. After a 30-25 victory last week over Victoria’s Castaway Wanderers, the Sharks find themselves in fifth place, just a few points out of fourth. The top two teams in the CDI Premier Rugby League earn first-round playoff byes, but the third and fourth-place squads play first-round games at home, which is why Saturday’s tilt is so important for the Sharks. “It’s a game that’s for fourth-place, essentially,” said Bayside coach Dave Benoit, whose team sports a 4-3 record with four games to go. “If we lose to Capilano, it’ll be awfully hard for us to catch them by the end.” A week before the win versus the Wanderers, Bayside walloped the Vancouver Rowing Club 45-17. The game against the Wanderers, last Saturday at South Surrey Athletic Park, was “a tale of two halves” said Benoit. The Sharks got off to a good start when Alan Hickey knocked a penalty kick through the uprights three

We are seeking 3 extra-ordinary “people persons” whom we will train on-the-job in our group practice as we expand to meet our growing family of patients. Our practice believes that the secret for caring for the patient, is “caring” for the patient. This is not something you can learn in school, because it’s something that is already a part of your character and your personality, so we are more interested in rapport, than in a report card. Those who are merely looking for a job should not apply, as we are seeking committed individuals who have always wanted to be part of the dental profession. On the other hand, those who have always dreamed of having a dental career are invited to submit their resume, along with a cover letter, which tells us something about you and explains to us why we should offer you an interview. Selected candidates will participate in a training program that consists of dental assisting, dental reception, as well as dental laboratory duties, teaching you how to become a truly crossfunctional team member while simultaneously offering the opportunity to become a CDA through on-the-job experience and personal self-study correspondence courses. “Study” is the key word, as selected candidates will exemplify their ability to learn what is required to be a first class dental auxiliary through on-the-job mentorship as well as being committed to personal study habits to learn all that is required to become a successful team member in the profession.Ideal candidates will be computer literate and will show themselves to be “peoplepersons” with a proven track record of experience in things such as coaching, teaching others, public speaking or any other previous work experiences that deal with the public with first class people skills. For the first year, training wages start at $8.00/hour then quickly escalate in following years once personal study modules are completed and the required skills and knowledge are exemplified in a real-life clinical setting.If you have been looking for a “career” rather than looking for just a “job” and if you meet the aforementioned criteria, you are invited to email your resume and cover letter in Microsoft Word format to: dentalassistantreceptionist@ gmail.com FLAGGERS NEEDED If not certified, training available for a fee.
