Crime reduction reported in City of Surrey pilot project
Mayor eyes cameras for ‘hot spots’ Kevin Diakiw Black Press
More surveillance cameras are on the way into the City of Surrey, as a pilot project using closed-circuit television cameras (CCTVs) is being hailed as a huge success. A staff report shows that CCTVs have decreased the occurrence of auto theft in the last year by 15 per cent at Scott Road SkyTrain station.
Theft from cars rose marginally during that time, but it’s believed that’s a result of more reporting from people who have greater confidence something will be done. “That’s seen as reporting confidence by researchers,” said Colleen Kerr, Surrey’s crime reduction strategy manager. “Other improvements were the belief that crime was decreasing improved eight per cent; feelings of safety, 18 per cent improve-
ment; feelings of safety with respect to property, 26 per cent improvement.” Mayor Dianne Watts now wants more cameras installed in other areas of the city. “The overall goal is to have many different functions with CCTV,” Watts said Wednesday. “What we want to do is have cameras we can move to different hot spots.” That could include where illegal dumping
is believed to be taking place. Cameras are also being considered for special events, such as Canada Day or Vaisakhi parades. The CCTV report has not been made public and is expected before Surrey’s public safety committee in the coming weeks. The news comes amid reports that crime in Surrey is dropping in several areas, a trend being attributed to community partnerships, new programs and public involvement.

Concerned Miramar Village residents packed White Rock council chambers Monday to have their say about proposed changes to the uptown project’s final two towers. Most who spoke during the public hearing were not happy with the plans, and accused developer Bosa Properties of disrespectful handling of the amendments – which include an increase to the number of residential units, an increase in residential parking spaces and a 35-foot decrease in space between two of the towers. “I really, really strongly oppose being lied to,” said Craig Swindells, who bought a unit last November. Swindells said Bosa officials at the time had showed him the original plans for the project’s final phases, “knowing full well they’d already submitted to you revised plans.” While Bosa representatives acknowledged “we could have done a better job” of communicating the proposed amendments with residents, they say the changes will have positive overall results. see page 4

Penny Priddy, who served in the Mike Harcourt and Glen Clark NDP cabinets, was an SCE trustee, although she was first elected with Surrey Municipal Electors, a group that included candidates of all political persuasions. In addition to its dominance by NDP members, SCC is running against a Surrey First slate that includes several NDPers. At the board of education, two NDP members who were first elected with SCC have switched to the Surrey First Education group, striking a near-fatal blow to SCC’s chances of taking over the board this fall. Watts, clearly the guiding light at Surrey First, is a popular mayor and a firm centrist. She is much more issue-based than ideological. While she is associated with the BC Liberals, she doesn’t hesitate to criticize them over issues like portables, the Port Mann Bridge tolling plan and lack of transit in Surrey. Her popularity gives all those allied with her on council and the board of education a huge advantage in civic elections, where mounting a campaign to reach people who will actually vote is a very costly and frustrating endeavour. SCC has given it a good try in recent elections and will do so again this fall – but it isn’t likely to make much of a dent in the Watts machine.

news Elizabeth May says Fleetwood voters were for party, not candidate
Greens may benefit from votes for quitter Kevin Diakiw Black Press
The leader of the Green Party of Canada sees no reason not to keep an allowance for votes cast for one of their candidates who quit before the federal election. Elizabeth May told Black Press this week that she believes voters in Fleetwood-Port Kells who cast ballots for Alan Saldanha were putting their support behind the Green party. Black Press learned before the election that Saldanha, 63, had posted as his favourite quote on Facebook: “If rape is inevitable, lie
back and enjoy it!” Saldanha told a reporter his comments were taken out of context, and apologized for them. He quit the election race an hour after peacearchnews.com posted the story online. Because Saldanha resigned after Elections Canada’s April 11 deadline for nominating candidates, his name remained on the ballot, under the Green party banner. On May 2, he received 1,476 votes. The Green party stands to make $2 per vote annually, or $2,952 per year until the next election, and May doesn’t see a problem
with that. “At the time we were sticky about “Even though the candidate wasn’t not accepting that funding,” Eindthere, they (voters) wanted to see inger said. support for Greens,” May said. “That “Our federal council will want to raise this issue… Of course number of voters consciously put an ‘X’ next to the name of a candidate the individuals who voted Green, they knew wasn’t there, because they they voted Green, some of them wanted to support the larger Green knowing they wouldn’t get a Green national vision.” elected, but they wanted to at least Green party press secretary Debra give some financial support to the Eindinger had previously told a local Elizabeth May party so we can move forward.” Surrey newspaper the party would Green party leader The council is to decide at a not accept the money. meeting this Sunday whether to On Monday, she’d softened that position. keep the money.
Young athlete remembered

Mourners pack Christian Life Assembly Thursday to celebrate the life of Kassandra Kaulius, the popular athlete killed May 3 in a car crash.
The life of a young Surrey woman killed May 3 in a crash with an alleged impaired driver was celebrated Thursday afternoon in Langley. Hundreds of friends and family members packed the Christian Life Assembly to say goodbye to 22-year-old Kas- Kassandra Kaulius victim sandra Kaulius. Several of the speakers at the service – including family members and coaches – called on the community to combat drinking and driving. Kaulius, a popular athlete died just after 10 p.m. May 3 – on her way home from playing softball in Cloverdale – when the red BMW she was driving was struck by a Ford van in the intersection of 152 Street and 64 Avenue. Kaulius died at the scene. According to police, a woman arrested in connection with the crash showed signs of intoxication. Investigation is ongoing and impaired-driving charges against the driver are expected.
White Rock woman plans to sneak into restricted evacuation zone
Pet rescuer risks returning to Japan radiation Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter
Chizue Lister is returning to the evacuation zone surrounding Japan’s damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant next week to aid abandoned pets – and this time, the mission will be even more risky. Japanese authorities have restricted entry to the 20-kilometre area, threatening to arrest and fine anyone caught within. The measure was imposed just days after Lister returned home to White Rock from a 10-day trip to the zone last month, when she joined other volunteers in feeding and rescuing animals left behind by owners who were evacuated due to radiation. With officers now patrolling the area, Lister said she will have to sneak in.
She has been in contact with the Japanese friend who joined her last month, and who continued to volunteer in the evacuation zone after Lister left. Although Tomoko Ai has stopped going there due to the police presence, she has informed Lister of a side road that can be used to enter the area now that the main road has been barricaded by authorities. Lister has also learned that the best time to sneak in undetected is between 4 and 7 a.m., when patrols seem to temporarily stop. She will be joined by her brother, Daijirou Niino, who Lister said was caught in the zone by police a couple days ago. He was released with a warning, but officers said a second incident would lead to arrest. In speaking with him afterwards, Lister learned her brother managed to rescue five dogs and a cat
before being caught. “So I said ‘you did a good job,’” she recalled of their phone conversation. Lister said she plans to focus her attention on transporting animals outside the zone. While she will also bring food, she is only going to take the time to feed animals that evade capture. “This time, I’m going to catch as much as possible because now we know people can’t go back to that area anymore.” Because the Tokyo shelters she sent rescued pets to last time are now full, Lister is scrambling to find facilities still accepting animals. If unable to locate one, she said she will take the pets to her hometown of Niigata – a 3½-hour drive away – and appeal to residents to care for them while she finds owners. She plans to document her efforts

Lister said this two-week trip is being made possible by supporters who read of her quest in Peace Arch News. People have dropped off donations at her restaurant – Yucca Tree Café – which have now amounted to $8,760 (one donor alone contributed $8,000).
The money is being used for Lister’s flight, car rental and gas. She also plans to donate to shelters willing to take in the rescued pets. Lister said donations of leashes, collars, dishes and painters coveralls – which she will wear to protect from radiation – are still welcome, and can be dropped off at the restaurant (1347 Johnston Rd.) before she leaves on Monday. Lister also encouraged the public to demand action from the Japanese government. “If people could email the Japanese prime minister about saving the animals, that would be great,” she said. “(The government) won’t do anything. It’s been two months. The (animals) are still there and they’re waiting for help and they’re waiting for their owners to come back, but the government has stopped them from going there.”

Only slight impact to views: Bosa from page 1 As well, they were necessary in the face of today’s “radically different” market compared to what existed in 2006 when the four towers were proposed, said Daryl Simpson, Bosa’s vicepresident of sales and marketing. “We’re not proposing amendments because we wish to cause hardship,” Simpson said during an impromptu presentation to council during the public hearing. One speaker said his family purchased “about 12” suites, investing between $6 million and $7 million in the existing Johnston Road tower. “Our investment will be down the drain if they do not fulfill their promises,” John Badr told council. Another resident, Doug Findlay, said he and wife Edith invested their life savings, and asked council to protect them. Bosa officials had requested the zoning amendments last year, three years after the final phase of the project was approved in 2007. The current owners are not opposed to construction of the final two towers, said Aileen York, speaking on behalf of 47 residents who contend the amendments “were not handled in a fair, respectful and honest way,” and is not what was presented in disclosure statements at time of purchase. Noting her group learned of the proposed amendments receiving
second reading through an April 13 Peace Arch News article, York said such lack of effort to communicate directly with residents “typifies the way we have been treated by Bosa and the city since taking possession.” York noted the most recent public meeting – held last Saturday – was done so with just five days’ notice, and that attendees were told Bosa would continue with plans despite concerns. Several residents voiced concern about the impact on views. Shifting the two remaining towers 35 feet closer to the existing towers is “a major issue,” said Ronald Thiessen, noting his partial southwest view “will be removed entirely.” Thiessen said he and his wife moved to White Rock from the Prairies, and “did our homework” before buying into Miramar Village. Having an ocean view was a significant factor in their decision to purchase, and Bosa officials assured them their view would remain intact, he said. “It is clear this application now boils down to profits at the expense of the current stakeholders,” Thiessen said. Simpson disagreed with statements regarding the degree of impact to residents’ views. He said the view between the final two towers will be increased by the changes, and decreased only “ever-so-slightly” to the west. “We’ve done what we thought

was an equitable exchange with the two,” Simpson said. “For some, we understand they perceive it to be significant, but we respectfully disagree.” One tower resident spoke in favour of the amendments. George Pierzchajlo said the changes will be good for merchants and the community, and will make the units more affordable to empty-nesters and snowbirds. Pierzchajlo said anyone who bought into a unit below the fifth floor would have been aware they wouldn’t have much, if any, view. “I don’t understand why people act surprised or opposed to it now,” he said. “It is simply a winwin situation.” Simpson emphasized the amendments do not impact the project’s height and total floor area. The resized units will cost about $100,000 less, he added. Noting Bosa may never be able to satisfy everyone, Simpson said the company is prepared to invest in an on-site manager and is willing to revisit cost-sharing agreements. He said the company is committed to meeting with the first two buildings’ strata councils to further discuss their concerns. Former councillor Margaret Woods – a longtime opponent of the project – said allowing the changes would “compound the damage that has already been done to the City of White Rock.”

Byelection should be lesson for BC Liberals
W
hile Premier Christy Clark will soon be able to take her seat in the B.C. Legislature, the close race she endured in the Vancouver-Point Grey byelection should cause her, and the party, to stop and think. In a short campaign that partially overlapped the federal election, Clark managed to win the seat by less than 600 votes – 7,371 to 6,776 for the NDP’s David Eby. And she did so without facing a candidate from the resurgent BC Conservatives, who decided to follow tradition and not contest the seat, when it was a byelection involving the sitting premier. Clark’s honeymoon with the public is definitely over. This is partially due to the type of campaign she ran. She refused to attend any all-candidates debates, or take any hard questions, and instead isolated herself in a bubble. But it is also due to the continued unpopularity of the BC Liberals, particularly over the HST, but also over numerous other issues such as education funding, health care waiting lists, the BC Rail sale and the general malaise which seems to have come over the province. The HST is Clark’s most pressing problem. It has dogged the BC Liberals for almost two years, and caused her predecessor to resign. A recent report by an independent panel shows that the tax is costing ordinary working people a substantial amount of money for no apparent benefit. A referendum on whether to kill the tax will be conducted by mail in June and July, and seems highly unlikely to prove favourable to the tax. Clark is musing about calling an election in the early fall, but if the HST is rejected in the referendum, and the Conservatives surge to any appreciable extent, it seems quite likely that the NDP will return to power after a 10-year absence. This certainly isn’t the outcome her party had in mind when it selected her as its new leader. The BC Liberals need to stop and think about whether an early election is such a good thing, and come up with truly “family-friendly” policies that actually allow people to keep some of the money they earn in their pocket. A good first step would be reducing the HST rate.

82 responding years ago, from pub to pub, and called it the adventure of a lifetime. Like most physical activities, it can become addictive. In my adult life, everywhere I’ve lived I’ve instinctively sought a route, and always an alternate, longer one for the days they’re needed. After dinner has always been a favourite time. No matter how stressful the day, just by walking and keeping at it for a while – and some days a while is quite a long time – there’s the tangible lift. A feeling that the body and mind have been soothed. Some say there’s also a benefit to walking away from your home. With each step, there’s respite, a greater distance from bills, home repairs, family feuds. It’s like a 30-minute Club Med break when you can’t do the real thing. Walk your neighbourhood and there’s always something to see. New houses going up, or renovations. New gardens planted. New faces. In my neighbourhood, two women in their 40s are out every morning, commuter coffee mugs in hand, chatting away. It’s obvious they love it. If enough people like them get out and start moving, the streets look friendlier, crime goes does down and people think man, what a great place to live. Think about it: Where would you rather live, a Florida suburb where everyone drives and gets their exercise on a bike in front of the TV? Or in a Tuscan town, where everyone comes out in the evening for promenade. Or as it’s called in Italian, la passeggiata. Or in English: good living.

Million-dollar views for all Editor: Much has been expressed lately as to whether the city is responsible for maintaining the ocean views of those fortunate enough to own property on the hillside. My letter is about whether or not the city should preserve views for the rest of us – those not fortunate enough to own such property. Since moving to South Surrey in 1987, one of my greatest pleasures has been walking the trails in Centennial Park that skirt the top of the bluff below the White Rock Curling Club. There are three beautiful viewpoints. However, these viewpoints have now almost ceased to exist, due to the growth of scrub alder in the ravine below them. Just to clarify, these are not majestic fir, cedar and hemlock trees but the weed-like alder that spring up in any cleared areas. Why can’t the city remove some of these trees or even just top them? In this way, a million-dollar view would be preserved – not just for those who own million-dollar properties, but for every person who walks the park trails. Ann Harris, Surrey
has been affiliated with the Liberals for years. I do not know the other person’s political leanings, but reading between the lines I assume he obviously is, shall we say, left of centre and leave it at that. I notice a distinctive new way on the part of those individuals is to claim that Stephen Harper and his party should ignore the will of the people who voted for him and only listen to all the others who did not vote for his party because they represent the majority – a majority that did not find the time to vote or that put forward policies that were rejected by the electorate and would have bankrupted the country. The Liberal party lost because it had no real vision for Canada. I suggest they spend their energy revamping the party. Get rid of the deadwood that seem to feel the taxpayers of Canada owe them. We owe them nothing!

Party like it doesn’t matter Editor: That must have been some party! When I took one of my dogs for a walk in the ravine that is home to Elgin Creek, I discovered numerous empty bottles beside and in the creek. There was a Malibu Rum, a Havana Club, a Tequila Gold bottle, and several others.
Unfortunately, at least two of them had been smashed to bits: a Red Rum and a Sourpuss. It took me over half an hour – standing in the creek – to remove as many of the sharp glass shards as I could find. Those jagged fragments could have done some major damage to my dog’s paws if he had walked into the creek. But, hey, it must have been a lot of fun smashing those bottles on the rocks in the creek! Who cares about some stupid dog, anyway? And, besides, you were probably so drunk, you don’t even remember being there, let alone smashing the bottles. I wonder what else you did that you don’t remember… Yeah, you must have had a blast! Too bad you don’t remember it. No need to invite me to your next party. I’ll be looking for you and I’ll know when and where it is. Jerry Steinberg, Surrey

Aftermath of a federal election Editor: With the switch to a Conservative majority – for which the West has been waiting – will it put B.C. on the map of equality with an increase of seating in the House of Commons? The Conservatives made some noises to that effect recently, but with the continued silence of the democratically elected, who will stand up and renew the expectation? The leader of the Orange party, speaking in the French language, indicated he will carry on the Bloc policy wanting Quebec perpetually to have 25 per cent of the number of seats in the House, which would be a far cry from equality. The seat change would not require to open the Constitution. An increase like that also would help B.C. to expect the right to manage its own affairs, lowering the foreverrising bureaucracy in the national capital. Besides, that would give the province the power what money will flow to there, closing the door on patronage. My view, as printed in the March 6, 1996 Peace Arch News, for greater provincial independence, has not changed. If only the new premier would drop her Liberalism, becoming a true voice for the province. Suan.H. Booiman, White Rock Q Re: Interpreting the numbers, May 6 letters.

Cynthia Allaire-Bell and Wayne Bell make an emotional plea for witnesses in the stabbing death of son Devon.
Your loss a knock on the door away Editor: Re: Parents plead for answers, May 6. When I looked the front page of the Peace Arch News, two things happened to me. First, I broke into tears, and I saw myself and my wife’s pain looking back at me. My wife and I have gone through that incredible pain I see on the faces of Wayne Bell and Cynthia Allaire-Bell. I am in tears right now as I type this on the screen. The RCMP on Jan. 6, 1996 knocked on our door at 2:30 a.m. to give us the news that our son, Matthew, had been in a serious car accident about three hours earlier and was at Royal Columbian Hospital having surgery. They said he was in very serious condition and we should get there right away. They told us to drive safely. Our son did not die like the Bells’, but he was very near to it for 12 days. I had heard some of the news about the Bells’ son, Devon, but had no idea it was the son of a longtime friend who I got to know through work. Wayne always stopped and asked me how Matthew was doing, and he did it with real compassion and really listened. I shared important moments with him, including one when my wife, after leaving the hospital, parked and cried for about three hours. She did not think she would have the strength to carry on after so many days of Matthew’s suffering. At her lowest point, she asked God into her life to give her strength for the incredible journey she was pulled into. She felt her body give in and an incredible peace enter her and she felt filled up with it and she knew she could do it. Matthew is 34 now. He is paralyzed and blind on his left side, as he had a brain injury and a stroke from the accident. After 2½ years in institutions, he lived with us until a year and a half ago and is now living in assisted
living. He is with older people but he is doing well and he loves it there. He has gained many grandparents. So this dark cloud in our life has had an incredible lining. You know about this, Wayne. I pray that God is watching over you both now and this journey you have embarked on gives you a real purpose in your life, and that is fighting this kind of violence in our society. I’m behind you both 100 per cent. On the same page in the paper is a picture of Kassandra Kaulius, another young person’s life taken needlessly in what seems an impaired-driving accident (Driver seen running from deadly crash scene). A friend of mine was at the scene and phoned 911. She wanted to help Kassandra if she was able, if only to give her comfort at the end. Your paper said she died instantly, but you just don’t know in the end if some comforting words might have been heard. So here I am with three stories that have involved me in different ways, and I have more. As more and more of this sort of thing happens, less and less people aren’t isolated from them. It could be your family, neighbour, co-worker, or just being a friend of someone who has been affected by a tragedy. Until it hits you, you may just not get it. We need to get to know and care for our neighbours, as we all have families. So look at your families and keep on top of what your youth are into. Law enforcement has its work cut out for them. Until our judges and court system get real, we need families to get real. I know we all think it’s someone else’s kid, but we should know better. It could be just minutes away when you get that knock on the door or a phone call, and it is someone you love who has been taken away. Brian Lauder, Surrey

news Staff doing best they can, ER doctor says
PAH overcrowding ‘likely will continue’ Alex Browne Arts Reporter
Congestion around Peace Arch Hospital’s ER is a fact of life – even though it’s not strictly an emergency-department issue, says Dr. Anne Clarke, medical director for the emergency program for Fraser Health. But it’s something people in the community need to advocate to provincial and federal politicians about, she suggests. Fraser Health had asked Peace Arch News to speak to Clarke to address some of the criticisms voiced recently by general surgeon John Todd and relatives of patients. Todd had said earlier this week that the hospital was “bursting at the seams,� and that nurses are in despair and patients are being neglected. As an ER doctor at Peace Arch herself, the congestion, including beds and screens in corridors, is something that she and and other staff deal with on a daily basis, she admits. “The hallways are always full,� she said, commenting on recent reports of overcrowding in and around the ER. “It isn’t related to the number of people coming in – it’s related to the fact that there are not enough inpatient beds for people who have been admitted,� she said. No matter whether people are planning to return home immediately or are waiting for a hospital bed, staff in the emergency department are there to look after them, Clarke said. “That’s our job – to care for people in the emergency department.� She said she’s always amazed that
ERs attract remarkable individuals who provide care whatever the circumstances with a “we can manage – can-do attitude.� “They work incredibly well in a situation that has been going on for a long time and likely will continue,� she said. But overcrowding “certainly adds to the stress levels of staff,� she acknowledged, commenting on reports of decreased morale in the department. “Staff do get frustrated whenever there are things that stress the system and when they feel it’s preventing them from giving the kind of care they want to give. But the care they provide is excellent.� There are things people can do to improve the situation, she said. “The public needs to advocate for responsible health care funding that is introduced in a way that improves health outcomes,� she said. “Sensible, responsible funding is what they need to advocate for to our politicians – provincial and federal.� There is also some onus on the public to take responsibility for their health, she noted. “We want to make sure people stay well and stay out of hospital,� she said. “In-patient beds are a scarce resource and we try to save them for people who would benefit the most from a hospital stay.� That means people looking after themselves well, seeing family doctors regularly, monitoring chronic conditions, knowing how to recognize danger signs and knowing how to manage their medications, she said.
CITY NEWS CALL FOR PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION APPLICATIONS The City of White Rock is accepting applications for 2012 Permissive Tax Exemptions. Annually, City Council may provide a municipal property tax exemption for properties and facilities owned by certain non-profit organizations. The criteria for these exemptions are outlined in City Council Policy No. 317. If you are interested in applying for a 2012 permissive property tax exemption, both the application and associated policy are available on the City’s website (www.city.whiterock.bc.ca) or in the Financial Services office at White Rock City Hall, 15322 Buena Vista Avenue, White Rock, BC, during regular office hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), Monday through Friday, except Statutory Holidays. All applications must be received by 4:30 p.m., June 30, 2011.
PESTICIDE FREE WHITE ROCK With nicer weather approaching, you may have noticed a few weeds cropping up. In 2009 the City of White Rock adopted a bylaw to regulate the cosmetic use of pesticides within the city. As per this bylaw, all properties in the city are pesticide free and do not use herbicides or pesticides. Although the City endeavours to keep weeds under control, removing all weeds by hand just isn’t feasible. Please note that our extra summer landscaping crews have just begun their employment and will start ramping up work on City properties. We would like to take this opportunity to remind you that an occasional weed is a sign of a healthy landscape and an indication of a pesticide free environment.

Beach volunteers fear field-trip damage learn about the beach. The problem with the field trips is it’s all at the same time, when the beach is at its most
Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Local beach volunteers are raising the alarm about the future of shore crabs along Crescent Beach, in light of surveys that show the population is being devastated by the regular deluge of school children arriving for year-end field trips. “In four years, I’ve seen a decline in the abundance of shore crabs along Crescent Beach, particularly the Beecher Place stretch,” said Jessica Alford, a volunteer with Shorekeepers, a non-profit group that monitors six beaches between the Little Campbell River and Blackie Spit. “It can be specifically traced to the overload of school field trips.” Alford, a Newton resident, said May and June is the most fragile time of year for shore crabs. It’s when they molt and breed, and they need to be able to hide and grow during that vulnerable time. Unfortunately – and unlike the dungeness crabs – shore crabs are not a protected species. And with an average of 1,000 children on the beach at least three days a week during that same period – collecting the water-dependent crabs in empty pails and turning over rocks to uncover them from hiding spots – the species isn’t faring well, Alford said. Alford is among Friends of Semiahmoo Bay Society volunteers who take classes and groups to the beach as part of the society’s education programs. Unfortunately, there aren’t enough resources to spread awareness on the delicacy of the ecosystem and how to protect it far enough. Efforts are underway to get the word out to Lower Mainland teachers. The group is asking that they consider alternative destinations for their end-of-year events. Failing that, they’re sharing tips teachers can pass on to their students should they decide on a beach trip. But Alford said navigating the rules of various school districts regarding information distribution has been tricky. While Abbotsford officials were highly receptive, she hasn’t been able

In Surrey, she said her group was told nonprofits must now pay to have information dispersed by the district. It’s an option the society cannot afford. School district spokesperson Doug Strachan said the amount and type of information distributed to Surrey schools is carefully controlled, in
“I went straight to the people… that have a direct connection,” he said. It makes more sense to target the information “rather than spread it everywhere and hope it sticks,” he said. Alford said her group’s intent is not to take away anyone’s enjoyment of the beach. It’s to ensure the ecosystem survives. “We want people to go and enjoy the beach and
part due to the quantity of requests. Also considered is whether the information is from a for-profit group, and if it would make more sense to target who gets it. Strachan said he shared Alford’s concerns directly with the district’s science helping teacher, “to communicate to the schools about the need to be respectful of the beach.”

Clark wins byelection squeaker Tom Fletcher Black Press
Premier Christy Clark trailed for part of the evening, but took a narrow victory over her NDP rival, David Eby, in a byelection in Vancouver-Point Grey Wednesday. With most ballot boxes counted, Clark took 7,371 votes to Eby’s 6,776 to capture the seat vacated by former premier Gordon Campbell. Clark pulled ahead of NDP candidate David Eby in the early counting, but Eby gained a slight lead with about a third of polling stations reported. With 87 of 134 ballot boxes counted, Clark led by a single vote. It’s the first win by a government candidate in a B.C. byelection in three decades. The results won’t be official until May 18. Eby, a lawyer best known as an advocate for anti-police protesters in Vancouver and his leading role in anti-Olympic demonstrations, moved to the Vancouver-Point Grey constituency to run in the byelection. He was assisted in his campaign by NDP Leader Adrian Dix, who represents Vancouver-Kingsway in the B.C. legislature. The VancouverPoint Grey byelection was triggered by the resignation of Campbell, who held the seat through three elections and stepped down shortly after Clark was selected B.C. Liberal leader in February. Without any
challenge or recount, the result means Clark can take her seat in the legislature’s front bench before the legislature completes its current session, expected to be on June 2. But the close finish casts doubt on whether Clark’s win can be certified in time. Also running in the
byelection were BC Green Party candidate Francoise Raunet, BC First candidate Danielle Alie and independents Eddie Petrossian and William Gibbens. Raunet finished a distant third with 511 votes, followed by Alie and the two independents.

Family Friendly Cruises By Dale Graham - Expedia CruiseShipCentres, Morgan Creek I still remember when I was a kid the excitement and fun of going on a family vacation. Everybody was always looking forward to the holiday except for my mom. m. For her it meant a holiday for the kids but not for the parents. She would wonder: â&#x20AC;&#x153;how can it be a holiday when I still need to run after the kids, cook meals and make sure everybody is s having a good time?â&#x20AC;? A holiday for her was just too much work. Well, not anymore, family vacations no longer have to be like National Lampoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vacation. Cruise lines are recognizing the importance of â&#x20AC;&#x153;family timeâ&#x20AC;? and the need for consumers to make the most of their travel dollars. They now offer a variety of shipboard amenities and activities to make cruising the ideal family-friendly vacation. Last year nearly 1 million children sailed aboard cruise ships. In fact, multi-generational families are one of the fastest-growing segments nts of the entire cruise market. Cruises are very â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;family-friendlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, with accommodations designed with families in mind and meals featuring such kidfavourites as hot ot dogs, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, pizza, ice cream and chicken nuggets. Among the unique elements of a family-focused cruise vacation is that there is something for everyone, which also makes cruising a wonderful option for family reunions and multi-generational
vacations. All the cruise lines have developed programs combining â&#x20AC;&#x153;alone timeâ&#x20AC;? (after all, both adults and kids need time to themselves) th with family w â&#x20AC;&#x153;togetherâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153; time. While the ti youngsters y are enjoying a themselves t in i supervised agea appropriate a activities a doing all the things they think are cool, like games, parties, talent shows, fun food events, arts, crafts, a contests, movies and a whole lot more, the adults can relax under the sun, enjoy pampering in the spa, participate in an art auction or go to a wine tasting.

lifestyles Maxxine Wright Centre to support women at risk of homelessness
Shelter officially opened Women and children at risk of homelessness in Surrey now have access to housing and supportive services. Friday, Premier Christy Clark marked the official grand opening of the $17.9-million Maxxine Wright Centre – nearly six years after the centre’s first phase opened. The grand opening celebrates the completion of the second and final phase of the facility – the first phase opened in September 2005 – which includes 24 units of transitional housing for women. Phase 2 also includes 12 short-term shelter beds, a 59-space child care centre, a pre- and post-natal clinic and a community kitchen. The centre is named after a woman long associated with Atira and White Rock-South
Homelessness and Housing Fund. And Atira Women’s Resource Society provided $1.2 million in mortgage financing and land equity valued at $272,651. Operated by Atira with $1.4 million in annual funding from the province, support services at the centre include assistance with housing, employment training, life skills training and access to physical and mental health services. “We are grateful to all of the many partners who helped to make Maxxine Wright Centre a reality,” said Atira CEO Janice Abbott in a release. “Women and children are already benefiting from the services provided in these two buildings and this wouldn’t be possible without everyone who came together to make it happen.”

SPCA to hold summer camps Parents who would like to see their children spend an “unforgettable” week learning about animals are invited to sign up for one of the BC SCPA’s summer camps. The camps are being held throughout B.C. – including Surrey at 6706 152 St. – and allow participants to take part in a range of educational and
fun activities, including animalthemed games, skits, crafts, guest speakers and more. “The highlight for many of the kids who take part in our camps is the time they spend every day interacting with, and learning about, small animals such as cats, rats and other small, furry creatures,” BC SPCA humane education manager Paula Neu-
man said in a release. “They also spend time with very lovable dogs belonging to SPCA staff members.” The one-week camps run throughout July and August, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for children ages eight to 12. Registration is available online at www.spca.bc.ca or by calling 604-599-7209.

A South Surrey man who pleaded guilty last year to possessing child pornography will have to wait to learn what the admission will cost him. A sentencing hearing for Douglas Wayne Bowers was to take place in Surrey Provincial Court May 5, but was adjourned until Sept. 23. Bowers was arrested and charged in 2009 after an investigation by the RCMP’s Integrated Child Exploitation team led police to a man they described as “another prolific distributor of child sexual abuse images and video online.” Last December, Bowers pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography. - Tracy Holmes
“IBL was an entirely fraudulent operation based on the evidence of former employees who described its activities. Mr. Dixon worked in a team as a closer. He was the most successful sales person.” However, Dixon requested a judicial review of his extradition, claiming his rights to a fair trial would be hindered in the U.S. He also argued that his deportation would be a hardship on his family, who live in Canada. Three B.C. Appeal Court justices dismissed Dixon’s appeal in a judgement posted online Tuesday (http://bit.ly/m4paUr). His extradition process will now proceed.

Sentence delayed
Dixon is said to have been the company’s most successful salesman. The elderly victims received no money in return. A B.C. Supreme Court judge ordered in June 2009 that Dixon be extradited to the U.S., and in April 2010 the minister of justice ordered him to be surrendered. Dixon, according to a B.C. Appeal Court judgment made public this week, admitted he acted inappropriately. “The evidence supports and Mr. Dixon in fact concedes that he made false statements to victims that caused them to send money to IBL,” reads the judgment.

Renovated museum to make its debut Canada Day Residents will get their first look at the newly renovated White Rock Museum and Archives on Canada’s birthday. Museum executive director Sharon Oldaker told council Monday that July 1 “is the day you will see the museum for the first time.” Showcasing it is to be part of traditional Canada Day festivities on the waterfront. The facility has been closed since the fall for revitalization work to restore the former Great Northern Railway Station to its original 1913 configuration. It is expected ready for occupation June 1. Oldaker said while the museum’s first official exhibit – Aliens Among Us – won’t open until Aug. 13, the new building on its own will be plenty for visitors to behold. “The building itself will be the exhibit.”

Officer apologizes 60 day jail sentence while the lawyer for Klassen asked for a conditional discharge. After hearing arguments from both sides, provincial court Judge Jody Werier reserved her decision for a later date. In the early morning hours on the day of the assault, Klassen and two other off-duty police officers – West Vancouver police Const. Griffin Gillan and Delta police Const. Blair Tanino – had been drinking all evening and barhopping. Khan suffered injuries significant enough that he has been unable to return to work. Gillan pled guilty to assault and was conditionally discharged in July 2009. – Black Press

A New Westminster police officer broke down in tears this week at a sentencing hearing for his assault of a newspaper delivery man two years ago in downtown Vancouver. Const. Jeffrey Klassen apologized to the victim, Firoz Khan, for attacking and beating him outside the Hyatt Regency Hotel while drunk and offduty on Jan. 21, 2009. “I sincerely apologize and I know that I was wrong,” he tearfully told the court Tuesday. “I swore an oath to protect the civilians of British Columbia. That night I failed you.” The apology moved Khan to tears as well, who later told reporters he accepts the apology and hopes for a fair sentence. Crown lawyers are seeking a 30 to

IMPROVING INDEPENDENCE AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR SENIORS “Our focus is to help older adults with complex health issues to maintain their independence as long as possible within the community.” -Dr. Sanjeev Vohra, Geriatrician, Specialized Seniors Clinic, Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre
PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE Learn more about the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre by joining us at our public open house Monday, May 30 from 3pm – 7pm. For more information, learn a fact a day and to view our video about the new Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre go to www.fraserhealth.ca.
With the rise of the older adult population it has become a priority for seniors to maintain function and independence for as long as possible. “Older Adults who have multiple health concerns are not best served with the routine medical care that’s provided through ERs and walk-in clinics,” explained Dr. Sanjeev Vohra, one of the geriatricians in the new Specialized Seniors Clinic at the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre. “They require special assessment, care and ongoing support.” The Specialized Seniors Clinic offers older adults and their families assistance with management of their health in order to optimize quality of life, improve self management of chronic conditions, and maintain independence. Working with primary care providers and community services the Seniors Clinic provides assessment, diagnosis, treatment, management, care planning and timely follow up. Care is provided by an interdisciplinary team utilizing evidence based practice and geriatric expertise of professionals and community groups.
Home is best “Our focus is to work collaboratively with primary care physicians to help older adults with complex health issues maintain their independence as long as possible in the community,” Dr. Vohra said. “The goal is always quality of life while keeping them safe, so whatever that transition requires over a period of time, that’s what we guide them through.” Surrey couple Inez and Don, both in their late 90s, are still living independently at home four years after the clinic supported them through Inez’s difficulties with depression and sleeping. The Seniors Clinic staff recognized that Inez was being over-medicated, and after three months in a care facility by adjusting her medications she was able to return home. With the assistance of visits from a home care nurse and their daughter, along with occasional checkups, the couple can keep doing what makes them happy.
“It means a lot to us to be independent,” said Inez, who is 99. “ We feel very fortunate to be using the clinic. They’re very caring and nice people.” Expanding services to meet a growing need The clinic’s new location (relocating from the Gateway Scotia Bank Tower in Surrey) will expand their holistic approach to include coordination with other on-site services (such as chronic disease and pain clinics), primary care providers, referrals to other Fraser Health programs such as Home Health, and a focus on family education and support. This patient-centred, integrated approach is critical as health care providers face what is referred to as “the rising tide of the silver tsunami,” Dr. Vohra noted. “We’re seeing increasing incidence of all problems related to seniors, including dementia, which is a huge and growing problem.” Talk to your family physician if you or a family member could benefit from the Specialized Seniors Clinic. To contact ontact the clinic directly call 604 -9 -953-4919; afterr June 6 call 604-582-4582.

Bond wants answers on ICBC rate plans Tom Fletcher & Jeff Nagel

Black Press
VICTORIA – Should a single speeding ticket cause an increase in your car insurance rate on top of the cost of the ticket? Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond says she’s looking forward to a “spirited discussion” with officials of the Insurance Corp. of B.C. before it proceeds with its application to adjust rates. ICBC confirmed this week that its application to change rates could result in a rate increase for three years after a single speeding ticket, and further rate reductions for drivers who maintain a clean driving record. If approved by the B.C. Utilities Commission, the changes would take effect in 2014. Bond said Wednesday she questions whether the bar is being set too low. “My concern with ICBC is there is a test of reasonableness,” Bond said. “And I’m simply suggesting that we need to have a discussion about the threshold that would be put in place for being deemed a bad driver and paying additional penalties as a result of a single speeding ticket.” ICBC officials say 30 per cent of all drivers – the ones with some traffic tickets within the last three years – will pay more and roughly twothirds of drivers who have clean driving records and no at-fault crashes will enjoy an increased safe driving discount, over and above the premium discounts they now get for years of claim-free driving.

Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond. Spokesman Mark Jan Vrem said ICBC has not yet determined how much it will reward good drivers and punish the bad. One report of an average 10 per cent saving for drivers with a clean record is inaccurate, he said. The changes would take effect in 2014 but would look back over the previous three years, so ICBC is warning drivers to shape up now if they don’t want to pay more later. Even so, the full shift won’t kick in immediately. “There won’t be sticker shock in 2014,” Jan Vrem said. “It’s going to be phased in.” And he said a single ticket may not make much difference. “If you have only one minor violation in the three-year scan, your rate could stay the same or go up very slightly,” he said. Details are expected when ICBC files an application this summer to the B.C. Utilities Commission.

arts & entertainment …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Performance scheduled for tonight
White Rock Community Orchestra keeps on growing Alex Browne Arts Reporter
The White Rock Community Orchestra is achieving a much higher profile these days. Founded some 30 years ago, the ensemble has grown both in size and the ambition of its players, according to Roger Wecker, now in his third year as director of the group. “At the time I joined, there were about 25 members,” he said. “Now there are about 35 to 40 people.” Local audiences will be able to hear how far the orchestra has pro-
gressed tonight (Friday, May 13) at 7 p.m. at Mount Olive Lutheran Church, 2350 148 St. In addition to the orchestra, the concert will include the Trio Lumina (violin, cello and piano) and Mark Awan (organ). The orchestra, which has a regular schedule of perfomances at seniors residences and other venues in the Lower Mainland – and was featured in last winter’s Christmas On The Peninsula event in White Rock – is always on the lookout for new players, particularly in the string, bass and brass sections, Wecker
said. The friendly ensemble rehearses every Saturday morning from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the Masonic Hall. Range of ages for the highly inclusive group goes from high school students to 93, he said, and many members are either revisiting earlier musical skills later in life, or fulfilling unrealized ambitions to play an instrument. “It’s not a pressure thing,” said Wecker, a former piano accompanist and retired school band teacher. “People are there for enjoyment – the whole idea is to go in
and make as much music as you can, and improve as much as you can. There’s no high pressure or hissy-fits.” But the current players – “a really nice, nice group” has been surprising itself with its growing capabilities, Wecker said. A measure of its ambition is the repertoire for the upcoming concert which includes the overture to Gilbert & Sullivan’s Pirates of Penzance (in honour of the orchestra’s late cellist Wally Sandvoss) to such challenging material as an excerpt from Brahms’ Symphony No. 5, a bravura
march from Wagner’s Tannhauser, the subtle dynamics of selections from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera, the idiomatic lilt of a couple of tango pieces and the rhythmic, “exposed” harmonies of Aaron Copland’s Variations on a Shaker Melody. “I choose the pieces, but a lot of this comes from suggestions from people in the orchestra,” Wecker said. Tickets ($10 for adults, $5 for students and free for children under 12) are available at the door or by calling 604-536-8527.

Local talent highlighted in Gondoliers Alex Browne Arts Reporter
Fraser Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society shows always feature a strong contingent of South Surrey and White Rock performers – and the upcoming revival of the merry 1889 Savoy hit The Gondoliers (running until May 21, Surrey Arts Centre Studio Theatre) is no exception. In addition to Peninsula chorus members Natalie Dickson, Jake Hildebrand, Chris Roberts, Sabrielle McCurdy-Foreman and Jerret Schwartz – and costume co-ordinator Linda O’Donovan – the light-hearted comic opera also provides major roles to south end stalwarts Roger Hussen and Jacqollynne Keath.

arts & entertainment Kent Street Showcase to raise money for centre’s upgrades
All ages featured at show Alex Browne Arts Reporter
It takes place at Kent Street Activity Centre in White Rock – but the Kent Street Showcase this weekend is about more than senior performers. “We’re showcasing a broad range of ages of performers from throughout the community – that’s what I tried to do,” said director Shirley Logan, who has given added pizzazz to the annual show, a fundraiser for improvements to the centre’s kitchen and cafeteria. Among those performing this Sunday at the centre (May 15, 2-4 p.m., 1475 Kent St.) will be teen singer-songwriter Alex Sakellario. “She goes to White Rock Christian Academy, sings in the choir and is in a number of youth bands,” Logan said. “She plays piano and guitar and sings her own compositions and she’s darned good. It takes a lot
A driving force Test driving a new vehicle at Semiahmoo Secondary this Saturday (May 14) could make a big difference to the school’s band program. That’s because the program will receive $20 for each person who test drives a vehicle at the school (1785 148 St.), between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Students from the band department will also be performing at the event, part of Ford Motor Company of Canada’s Drive One 4 UR School campaign. Aim of this Saturday’s event is to raise $6,000 for the band program. “Partnering with Ocean Park Ford for this fundraising event is an incredible help for our band and school,” music department head Dave Fullerton said in a release.
of nerve to do what she’s doing – but she did very well at our runthrough rehearsal.” The show also includes seasoned talent, of course – and foremost among such performers is Rice Honeywell (of Red Beans and Rice fame), who will be playing solo piano on a number of jazz standards. “Everyone knows Rice – he’s a great entertainer,” said Logan. Dance is also represented – with Brian Udall and Natalie Dunser of Roca Blanca Dance Studio doing swing and tango demonstrations, while Kent Street dance act Vernon and Daniella will contribute their own number. There’s also comedy – in the person of Eve Weimer (Cowslip Corners). She will perform a monologue and will also be joined by Andrea Carr for one of their sketches. Marge Needles, a regular at Kent Street, will also contribute a humourous reading.
PA R K O P E N I N G
The show has also gathered the talents of three tenors – but they will be performing singly rather than as as a group act, Logan added. Terry Kerstein, Bill Lewis and Russ Morgan will also sing popular selections rather than leaning toward the classical, with Lewis providing a salute to Elvis Presley. There’ll be more music, from a cappela quartet Momentum, led by Eric Janzen, which has been performing locally for more than a decade. And rounding off the program with more dance, will be Helen Walker. “She’s a very active volunteer at Kent Street,” Logan noted. “She loves Hawaiian dancing so she will perform a Hawaiian dance for us.” Tickets ($8 each) will be available at the door, and are tax deductible as a charitable donation.

Gilbert was renowned – the aristocratic couple’s daughter Casilda (Laura Luongo) was married in infancy to the royal heir of Barataria – who, it now appears, has been raised as
one of a pair of Venetian gondolier brothers, Marco (Russell Robson) and Giuseppe (Dann Wilhelm). Complicating the situation more than a trifle is the fact the brothers have just taken new brides, Tessa and Gianetta (Katie Collins and Tamara Wilhelm). To add to the chaos, Casilda secretly loves Luiz (producer Reginald Pillay), drummer boy to the Duke and Duchess. Also among the popular company favourites and promising newcom-

The hCG Weight Loss Diet – Ready to be Inspired with the New You? Dr. Tom Grodski, ND
Peace Arch Family Health Clinic Celebrating 20 Years in the Community
#202 - 15210 N. BLUFF RD., (16TH & 152ND) WHITE ROCK 604-536-8600 • www.drgrodski.com
As seen on Dr. Oz’s February 21st show Dr Oz did a huge favour for all of those across North America suffering from obesity, and all the health risks that it entails, when he discussed and gave his support for a medically supervised weight loss diet known as the hCG Diet, on his February 21st show. What sets the diet apart, is the remarkable amount of weight loss possible in a short frame of time (~1 lb/day), not only safely – but also without being
hungry. hCG stands for human Chorionic Gonadotropin, the hormone produced by the placenta in women during pregnancy. Fifty years of clinical use has shown that the small, daily hCG dose during the diet (thousands of times less than that produced in pregnancy or used for other purposes), results in a weight loss of 1 - 2 lbs/day for both men and women, when accompanied by a low calorie diet. This can mean that over the course of the 23 - 46 days of the diet, one can lose anywhere from 25 - 50 lbs or more. First discovered and investigated by the British endocrinologist A.T.W. Simeons in the 1950s, it was found that when treated with minute doses of hCG and combined with a very low calorie diet, the brain programmed the body to release the fuel from fat deposits for their daily energy needs, instead of lean muscle tissue, as normally occurs during a

pregnancy. In other words, during the hCG diet, one uses up their fat stores for their energy needs instead of losing muscle, all while not feeling hungry. What about the fear that all dieters face of gaining it all back when their done? The hCG resets your metabolism and appetite, so that after the diet is completed (23-40 days), you have a completely new approach to eating, that is healthy – and satisfying, along with the guidance and supervision of a naturopathic doctor to ensure that the weight stays off.

arts & entertainment Semiahmoo Arts fundraiser returns after two-year hiatus
Artsolutely Fabulous gets ‘back to the basics’ Alex Browne Arts Reporter
Artsolutely Fabulous is back – and with it a tremendous chance for canny local art collectors to take home a superior work at a fraction of its usual price. That’s because with just 35 tickets to be sold (at $475) and only 35 works on display, every ticket holder to the Semiahmoo Arts fundraiser (6:30 p.m., June 17, Blue Frog Studios, 1328 Johnston Rd.) is sure of claiming a work valued higher than the ticket price. “We established a minimum price limit of $600 – and with a lot of the works framing is $200 on top of that,” said Semiahmoo Arts
executive director Patrick Reynolds. “That means they’re getting a work worth at least $800 – and some a lot more than that,” he added, noting that one piece, a bronze by sculptor John Butt, is valued at $4,000. “It’s a pretty good deal – it’s awesome,” Reynolds, who has also contributed one of his own pieces to the show, said. “I don’t know where else you can get a return like that.” Ticket buyers can rest assured there is also an altruistic purpose to their purchase. Proceeds go towards an estimated $47,000 shortfall in Semiahmoo Arts funding for this year. The concept of
Artsolutely Fabulous is simple – a cocktail party with ticket holders and artists in attendance, music (this year artist Bruce Dolsen will also be playing piano) and the much anticipated draw of tickets supervised by MC Gordon Hogg, with

Ferg Hawke laces up for Bolivia expedition
Renegade alumni earn accolades
On the run again Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
I
t’s been a little while since Ferg Hawke’s done something crazy – unless you count a full-blown home renovation that’s taken the better part of three years. But next week, the 53-yearold South Surrey runner – who has twice run the 217-kilometre Badwater Ultramarathon – will end his sabbatical and take part in Expedition Bolivia, where a team of runners, students, researchers and support staff will traverse more than 250 km of South American landscape. “I haven’t done a race in a while because I’ve been renovating the house for so long. I’ve continued to run, but just not nearly as much as I used to,” said Hawke, who twice finished second at Badwater, most recently in 2005. “I just figured I’d get back at it.” The trip is organized and run by Impossible 2 Possible, a nonprofit organization led by famed ultra-marathon runner Ray Zahab. Hawke left earlier this week to meet up with the rest of his crew, and the team arrives in Bolivia on May 15. And while many members of the team will cover the distance in support vehicles, Hawke, Zahab, British adventurer Hannah McKeand – who holds the world record for fastest solo trek to the South Pole – and five youth ambassadors will run, averaging about one marathon a day for six consecutive days. Hawke’s no stranger to extreme distance races. In addition to his Badwater runs, he’s competed in Ultraman World Championships in Hawaii, completed the grueling Marathon des Sables stage race – a

For the second consecutive year, the UBC Thunderbirds placed a pair of athletes – both White Rock Renegade alums – on the 2011 NAIA Association of Independent Institutions (AII) softball allconference team. Making her second appearance is senior catcher Tanya McLean of North Delta while second baseman Courtney O’Connor earned a spot in her final season at UBC. McLean, a senior, finished tied for 16th in the conference with a .386 batting average and was sixth with an .811 slugging percentage. She also ranked among the conference top 10 with 13 home runs and 13 doubles while serving as UBC’s primary catcher. O’Connor led the T-Birds with a .434 batting average as the everyday second baseman. She also led the team with 42 RBI, four more than McLean’s 38, and chipped in with 11 home runs and 12 doubles to go along with a .798 slugging percentage.

Recently there has been much controversy regarding the length of time it takes a criminal charge to be resolved by the courts. Depending upon the complexity of the matter a criminal case can take months (domestic assault) to years (murder, conspiracy) to resolve. As all accused persons are entitled to be tried within a reasonable period of time, if the case is unreasonably delayed, the case may be dismissed. There are many reasons for the delay, ranging from the in inability of the police and the Crown to make timely disclosure of the particulars of the case to the Crown; to the lack of resources to enable the Crown to proceed on a timely basis. Some of these resources include a shortage of Judges; a shortage Crown Attorney’s; and the massive volume of cases, particularly in the City of Surrey. While the problems causing the delay are complex, and have been long standing, it should be noted that in Provincial Court, not only are Judges assigned criminal cases, but they are also responsible for hearing small claims matters, and family cases which take up a large part of the court time. In other provinces, these matters have been assigned to either Hearing Officers (small claims) or a Family Division of the Supreme Court. It has been suggested that at least part of the solution could be accomplished if the Provincial Government would consider same, as well as appointing more staff.

CHILDCARE AVAILABLE
Bill passed away surrounded by his family in South Surrey, BC. He will be sadly missed by his loving wife of 52 years Margaret; children Michael (Joelle) and Amanda (Chris); grandchildren Jackson, Grace and Kyle; brother Ken in Australia; brother Roger and sister Mary in England; as well as extended family and friends.
OBITUARIES
Ever gracious, noble, and considerate, he was quite simply and unpretentiously one of the most endearing men around. A devoted Husband, a loving Father, a true and faithful Friend, how we shall miss sharing his varied knowledge. His interest in global events, his great ability to apply humour to all areas of life, he was an example to us all of quiet determination expressed not only in words, but in compassionate acts. In his passing we give great thanks for cherished memories and happy times. We are honoured and blessed to have been a part of Bill’s world. May the peace that passes all understanding be with him now and always.
A Celebration of Bill’s Life will be held on Tuesday, May 17, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. at Valley View Reception Lounge, 14660 72 Avenue, Surrey, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Bill’s memory to the Peach Arch Hospital Foundation.
Advertisers are reminded that Provincial legislation forbids the publication of any advertisement which discriminates against any person because of race, religion, sex, color, nationality, ancestry or place of origin, or age, unless the condition is justified by a bona fide requirement for the work involved.
SYMMES, Gladys (nee Corder, Moller) September 4, 1922 bcclassified.com May 6, 2011 Born Crescent Hill, Saskatchewan, passed away peacefully at Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock. Predeceased by her husbands Jay Corder in 1972 and Bob Symmes in 1984; daughter Carolyn 1953; grandson Ross; sister Marian, and step-daughter Dianne. Survived by her sister Louise; daughters Merrily (George), Barbara, Jayne (Dan) and son John (Donna); grandchildren Emma, Jack; Sarah (Steve), Jay (Rachel), Meghan and their mom Colleen; greatgrandson Gabriel, and stepchildren Maureen (Rob), Jack (Karen) and Bill (Barb); plus many other close relatives and friends. Gladys lived life fully and with enthusiasm. Her interests were varied; she travelled the World, enjoyed golf, curling and lawn bowling, knitting and bridge, reading and crosswords, and her Church played a very important role in her life. A real passion she shared enthusiastically with her kids and grandkids was her love of hockey. She never lost her positive attitude and happy smile. “Mimi” will be greatly missed by her family and all who knew her. A Memorial Service will be held at Holy Trinity Church, 15115 Roper Ave, in White Rock on Friday, May 20, at 11:00 a.m. with reception to follow at the Kingfisher Condo rec room, 1368 Foster Street. Flowers gratefully declined in favour of donations to the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation. Condolences may be offered at www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca
