Watts up? Or a Falcon quest? Surrey mayor, MLA won’t rule out premiership run Jeff Nagel, Tom Fletcher, Kevin Diakiw & Alex Browne Black Press

Minutes after Premier Gordon Campbell stunned colleagues Wednesday morning by announcing he’s stepping down, two highprofile South Surrey residents said they haven’t ruled out campaigning for his job. Health Minister Kevin Falcon contacted Black Press to discuss Campbell’s legacy but would not say whether he will seek the BC Liberal party leadership at an upcoming convention, which Campbell said should be held “as quickly as possible.” “I haven’t ruled anything out or in,” Falcon said. “That’s not a discussion I’m prepared to have right now.” And while Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts as recently as September had dismissed a possible run for the premiership, she did not take the

same stance this week. “I think right now it’s important to focus on the good things that have occurred in this province,” Watts said. “I think it’s really premature to have any discussion for anybody about leadership.” Asked if she would confirm her previous claim that she would not run for the leadership position, Watts declined. “I’m not going to say anything further on that. I think now is the time to look at the Gordon Campbell legacies we’ve seen in the city stepping down and in the province,” said Watts, a resident of Falcon’s Surrey-Cloverdale riding. Falcon – who lives in Ocean Park, in the neighbouring Surrey-White Rock riding – said

he has done nothing to organize a bid for the premier’s job and that he would have to consult his family before considering the possibility. “Anyone who is seriously thinking about that job would never make that decision lightly,” Falcon said. (Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg, a former cabinet minister, is on government business in Israel and could not be reached for comment. Surrey-Panorama MLA Stephanie Cadieux – Campbell’s most recent appointment to cabinet as minister of sports and culture – also could not be reached by Peace Arch News press time Thursday.) In his announcement, Campbell acknowledged the fallout from the introduction of the harmonized sales tax in July. He said recent efforts to cut taxes, create jobs and improve the education system have not been accepted, and � see page 10

Landscaping installed by the city two years ago along White Rock’s East Beach is being ripped up this week, after BNSF officials expressed concern the grass, trees and shrubbery created safety issues. “They feel that the existing landscaping encourages people to linger in close proximity to the railway tracks,” Rob Thompson, the city’s director of engineer❝Just ing and municipal operations, said recently, a Wednesday. “This small child is not discretionary was within work.

BNSF spokesperson Gus Melonas said the work was requested after numerous close calls were reported by railway staff. The vegetation obstructs sight lines and the grass draws picnickers – a dangerous combination, he said. “There were far too many incidents occurring with the public that jeopardized their safety,” Melonas said. “Just recently, a small child was within feet of the tracks.” Shrubbery between the rear of the Balsam Street washrooms and � see page 4

Bad timing for BC Liberals P ...and frankly a y

mounting a leadership campaign would be a challenge. Hogg’s support of the HST will also hurt him with the general public. There are many shades of 1986 in Campbell’s announcement. Bill Bennett, who won three elections as premier, was very unpopular in 1986 and polls showed he couldn’t win again. He made a surprise announcement that he was stepping aside, just as Expo 86 got underway. The success of Expo 86 made conditions for winning an election more favourable, and Bill Vander Zalm, who had been outside cabinet from 1983-’86, managed to win the leadership. Vander Zalm, too, was a former Surrey mayor and MLA. Had he been more visionary and consultative as premier, he may well have kept the party together. Instead, the BC Liberals emerged in ’91 as a replacement for the anti-NDP coalition, as Social Credit disintegrated. If Campbell had resigned just after the success of the Winter Olympics, he may well have set up a similar scenario, setting the stage for the BC Liberals to triumph again. By waiting this long and by letting the anti-HST forces dominate public policy discussions for most of this year, he’s left the party in a mess. Cleaning it up will be a big job for his successor. And in a delicious touch of irony, he is leaving as Vander Zalm’s reputation has been rehabilitated – largely by the Campbell government, which refused to take his anti-HST petition seriously until it was far too late. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

Number of calls nearly double at 2,800 per month

Surrey’s crisis-line callers put on hold Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Emotionally distraught callers phoning Surrey’s new regional crisis line are being put on hold or receiving call-backs several hours later. The crisis-line service has responded to more than 10,000 calls in the last seven months, almost double its traditional volume since three calling areas were merged into one. In the past, the crisis line – provided by Options Surrey Community Services Society (OSCSS) – served the communities of Surrey, White Rock, Delta and Langley, providing free and immediate telephone support, crisis intervention, suicide prevention and

community resource information to people of all ages. But last April, the health authority centralized the call centre, so that people in crisis from Boston Bar to Burnaby could call one toll-free number. Previously there were three existing mental health crisis lines provided by OSCSS and agencies in Mission and the Tri-Cities. The change means Fraser Health stands to save $61,000 on what was a $361,000 annual budget for the service. But, as local service providers said a year ago, the challenge has been obtaining volunteers. People from the Fraser Valley are not often willing to commute into Surrey to give their time.

Before the merger, the 80 volunteers at OSCSS crisis line received about 1,500 calls a month. The calls have almost doubled to 2,800 per month, but the number of volunteers hasn’t increased. It means some calls don’t get answered right away, which isn’t the best of situations. Callers have the option of remaining on hold, or leaving a call-back number. “One recent day in a half-hour period, there were nine requests for call-backs,” said Jackie Yurick, who heads the crisis line. Each call is expected to take about 25 minutes, so those return calls will take several hours, while other calls continue to come in. When the amalgamation occurred in

April, OSCSS was given extra staff positions, including a full-time recruiter, which is starting to pay dividends. “I’m just in the middle of a training group that’s the largest I’ve ever had,” said Yurick, who has been with the service for 25 years. That training group started at 40, and now sits at 37. “That’s absolutely fabulous, I’m delighted with that.” She’s hoping to have those volunteers on board by December, just in time for generally high-volume time after Christmas. For more information on how to volunteer at the crisis line, contact Claudia at 604-5845811, ext. 237. If you or someone you know is in crisis, the help line is 604-951-8855.

Parking issue continues to affect business

Merchants ask for residents’ support Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock merchants unhappy with the city’s latest changes to waterfront parking fees are asking residents to support their call “to have the situation looked at.” They’re hoping for “anything that would give us some relief down here,” said Paul McDonough, co-owner of Jimmy Flynn’s Celtic Snug. “Within the eight months we’ve been open, White Rock city council has upped the pay parking – in the summer, from $2 to $3 – they’ve also cancelled the free parking from November to February. Add the HST and the new drink-driving laws (and) we’ve already had four strikes against us in less than eight months – and two of them have come from White Rock city hall.” McDonough is among more than 50 merchants who have signed a letter penned by business owner Maureen Coroliuc and sent last week to local politicians and Peace Arch News (see page 7). It is “encouraging the citizens of White Rock to get behind us” on the parking issue, said Coroliuc, owner of Angelic Teapot. “It’s very frustrating. We have kept going to the city to have them help us and yet they continually ignore us. I don’t think they have really

Police called to break up a brawl outside a South Surrey restaurant Saturday night ended up at an assault call – after one of their own was attacked at the scene. Staff Sgt. Scott Campbell said officers were dispatched to the 1900-block of 152 Street just after 10:30 p.m. Oct. 30, for a report of a fight involving multiple females. The alcohol-fueled fisticuffs stopped when police arrived, Campbell said, however, one woman, who was arrested for continued threatening behaviour, is facing more serious trouble after a female officer was injured. “The woman actively resisted and assaulted the officer,” Campbell said, noting even after her arrest, she “attempted to kick out the windows of the police car.” He described the level of violence as reflecting “a complete lack of respect” for police and public property. Fortunately, the officer was not seriously injured. A 21-year-old Chilliwack woman is facing assault charges. The incident was the only one of note for South Surrey police on the busy Halloween weekend. White Rock RCMP also reported a relatively quiet time. Though prepared for the worst – with extra police, auxiliary officers and members of the community bike patrol scheduled – officers responded to only three fireworks calls and ended the weekend with just two “in the (drunk) tank,” Sgt. Roland Pierschke said.

Pedestrian recovering

A pedestrian struck in a South Surrey crosswalk Tuesday morning is recovering from nonlife-threatening injuries. The 72-year-old South Surrey resident was airlifted from the scene – at 24 Avenue and 152 Street – because his injuries appeared to be serious, noted Const. Peter Neily. The senior has since been listed in stable condition. He was crossing 24 Avenue northbound around 9:30 a.m. Nov. 2 when he was struck by a Hyundai that turned left off of 152 Street. Investigation has determined the driver, a 73-yearold Mission man, was proceeding on a green light and the victim was in a marked crosswalk, Neily said. The driver will be issued a violation ticket, Neily said.

Work begins this week to remove grass and landscaping that has become a safety concern for BNSF.

‘Bottom line, it’s a safety measure’ Denise Brown, who works on Marine Drive, said she has “had a front row seat to this plain stupidity” since the original work was done. She questioned whether flower beds in the same area will also be removed and why the trees couldn’t have simply been trimmed, as opposed to taken out. She is also upset at the apparent waste of taxpayer dollars. “The taxpayers of White Rock have paid to have the original cedar shrubs removed, have paid to have dug-in irrigation put in all along this stretch, have paid to have sod laid, plants and flowers put in, have paid to have all of this maintained for over two years and are now paying to have it all removed,” Brown told Peace Arch News. “We are all tightening our belts and are all feeling the effects of the HST on our wallets, but is the

City of White Rock exempt from all of this or just plain refusing to use common sense when it comes to spending foolishly taxpayers’ money?” Thompson could not estimate the city’s cost of the current project. He said BNSF officials first requested the work in a July letter to the city, then in late October, after noticing no action on the request, asked that it be made a priority. He noted BNSF is providing flag people to ensure safety during work taking place close to the tracks. The shrubbery, grass and trees will be replaced with rockery that “blends esthetically with the landscape,” Melonas said. During the work, some parking will be blocked to facilitate access to the railway, said Thompson. Marine Drive is to remain open, as is the promenade.

� from page 1 the safety railing is also being removed, as part of crime prevention efforts aimed at reducing the incidence of rocks being thrown at passing trains. The latest such incident, resulting in minor damage, was within the last month, Melonas said. While one area resident told Peace Arch News he was informed the landscaping was never approved by the railway in the first place, Melonas declined to discuss specifics, saying only that “the vegetation did not meet company standards.” “Bottom line, it’s a safety measure – for everyone. We’re pleased that they’re co-operating to recognize the safety measure,” Melonas said. Thompson, who began working with the city last February, was not familiar with the area’s landscaping history.

Resignation gives rise to chaos

ritish Columbians may debate for years to come the long-term legacy of Premier Gordon Campbell. It may be as detrimental as some pundits claim, or as monumental as his staunchest supporters suggest. But there is little doubt about his short-term legacy – a province in chaos and disarray, and scarcely prepared to field valid alternatives for B.C. voters, even with a 2½-year run up to the next provincial election, May 14, 2013. With Campbell in the driver’s seat, many in the province were unified by what they were against. But that’s not the same thing as having a vision of what they are for. The potential for Campbell foes to start squabbling over future directions is immense – which is probably what the BC Liberals, and their potential leadership candidates, are counting on. Supporters of Bill Vander Zalm’s Fight HST campaign must be stunned by their success in derailing Campbell’s political fortunes. But they still have to prove that they can sway the electorate sufficiently, come referendum time, before the hated tax can actually be scrapped. And while many have seen the glimmerings of a political party in the making – or the revival of an old one – in this movement’s success, one issue does not a party make. Some very strange bedfellows would have to reconcile a lot of conflicting beliefs, and neutralize more than a few loose cannons in their ranks, before being able to formulate a credible platform. The NDP? Much has been made of the fact that, at a time when the party should have been making hay over Campbell’s plummeting popularity, leader Carole James seemed too embroiled in fighting a palace revolution with disaffected members of her own party to dictate the province’s political agenda. The Green Party, too, has been nowhere in an HST-dominated political landscape, and its record still seems too much one of marginal moral victories and vote-splitting for a majority of voters to take it seriously as a contender. Which leaves the BC Liberals, who have themselves suffered, since the last election, from Campbell’s apparent tendency to rule by unilateral fiat. Even his decision to step down, by all accounts, blindsided many of his most loyal confederates. But the Liberals still have a chance, provided they can distance themselves from what many perceived as an arrogant attitude on the part of Campbell. So much will hinge on the party’s choice – indeed, all of the parties’ choices – of leader.

Another thing different about barber shops are the chairs—they often face away from the mirror, so you don’t have to stare at yourself the whole time. But one time I wished I had. I was out shopping with my wife. That night I was to accept a journalism award at a gala, so I thought I’d pop into a barber for a trim. I got one. It was a micro-mullet: homebased business in the front, party for one at the back. My wife was in tears (of laughter). Me, not so much. What I liked about the downtown barber was the vacuum. For the uninitiated (or the ticklish) it’s hard not to chuckle the first time you get your hair hoovered. It reminds me of the Flowbee, that lovable gadget (still available online!) that sucks your hair like a vacuum then mini blades trim it “precisely” for what its inventor calls a “refreshing vacuum haircut.” The barber around the corner from me has an electric massage gadget that he places on your shoulders when the job is done. That’s nice. Twenty seconds of bliss. In truth, though, there are many things I’d rather do than get a haircut. For now, it’s just an awkward part of life. If there’s an upside to the genetic code I have inherited, it’s that someday soon I’ll never have to visit a barber or salon again. Chris Bryan is editor of the BurnabyNew Westminster News-Leader.

They’re going the wrong way Editor: On many occasions, in order to get out to Langley, I will drive on 16 Avenue. Over the last years I have noticed a huge increase in truck traffic along this road from 176 Street to 264 Street. My driving experience on this route is frustrating to say the least. During the week, there are so many trucks – large transport, as well as gravel – on this road. And the speed limit, because of them, is reduced many times to 40 km/h. Imagine, 40 km/h on a road where the speed limit is a rapid 60 km/h. I was always led to believe that the reason 176 Street from the Pacific Highway border crossing was redesigned and upgraded was so that transport trucks would be able to have easier access to Highyway 1. My observations would tell me that the majority of transport trucks are not using this upgraded route. They are coming up 176th and turning right onto 16th, where they are becoming a major nuisance to automobile traffic. It is my opinion – and, I would bet, the opinion of hundreds of other drivers – that this needs to be stopped and the trucks redirected to the route that was re-designed for them – 176 Street (Pacific Highway). Take a drive out there one day. Go both ways. There are times, late in the afternoon where the lineups for lights along that route are probably a quarter of a mile long. This must be so frustrating for those people who are trying to get to work and back from South Surrey and White Rock to points east. Roger Currie, Surrey

Mayor’s vision welcome here Editor: I just came back from attending the annual chamber of commerce luncheon where Mayor Catherine Ferguson gave the annual “state of the city” address (Revitalization necessary to attract investment: mayor, Oct. 29). I must comment on how impressed I was by her vision of the city. I thought she captured the unique quality of White Rock, with its charms and character. As she talked, it was like being taken on a visual tour. Ferguson’s vision of White Rock was definitely someplace that I would want to visit and to live here would be a dream come true. I thought she showed an understanding of both the retail needs and the needs of the residential citizens. The new tax-exemption bylaw for business improvement that is being put in motion sounds like a positive way to improve the existing businesses and bring new business

into our city. Both scenarios reflect in a very positive way for tax payers. I do not normally attend these meetings but I must say I was impressed. The chamber members were friendly and welcoming, and Ferguson was gracious and well spoken. She does an outstanding job of representing our city. S. Grice, White Rock

declaration. For many, it is a necessity – such as paying for the mortgage – for others, a more reasonable way of getting accommodations. One of the larger concerns is the sizable homes built on farmland. Is there any control for the same reason: the use of services? Suan H. Booiman, White Rock

Rentals must pay own way

Hiebert fixed the problem

Editor: Re: PAN online question, Oct. 29. “Should the City of Surrey shut down the more than 17,000 secondary suites identified in areas not zoned for their use?” Not living in Surrey, it is difficult to interfere with their operations, but to me the answer is “no.” What is needed is some form of licensing. It is a part of population growth and will be a drain on the services, municipal and provincial. Besides that, one can assume that incomes received may not necessarily reach the income-tax

Editor: Re: Hiebert’s family travel costs less now, Oct. 29 MP Russ Hiebert faced justifiable criticism in May, when it was announced that his expenses were excessive in relation to other MPs. In the recent article in the Peace Arch News, he says that he addressed the issue a year ago when he realized his expenses were high. Travel and other expenses were reduced to bring him in line with the average B.C. MP. Reduction in travel expenses required a change in lifestyle and

the strong commitment he had to keeping his family together. He therefore responded to the message from constituents, which is a top priority for any elected official. Some individuals still see fit to criticize a problem which has been corrected. In all fairness, it is probably time to move on and give some credit to this MP for taking the required action. Charles Parrott, Surrey

No wonder rates are high Editor: Re: Arrest follows break-ins, Oct. 20. This community is a great place for the bad guys to make some extra cash. So why are there so many vehicle break-ins? Perhaps it’s because consequences seem to have been replaced with vehicle insurance. No wonder our rates are so high. The message is clear – don’t leave anything in your vehicle you don’t want stolen. Frank Fourchalk, Surrey

Pay parking on White Rock’s waterfront continues to be a point of conflict for independent businesses and the city.

We need help beating city hall Editor: This letter is to the residents of White Rock from the merchants of Marine Drive, asking for their support. We are appealing to you for your support in asking our city officials to change their recent decision with regards to pay parking, $3/hr for eight months of the year and $1/hr in the winter months. We, the merchants of Marine Drive, have been writing letters to the city hall, the mayor, councillors, our MP and our MLA. We have collected thousands of signatures of support from customers to have the pay-parking situation looked at, so that we can compete with new mega-malls that are being built in the surrounding area, where parking is free. To date, we have not been successful, and now the free parking in the off-season has been cancelled. Most of our businesses would not qualify for the leases in these malls, as we are not chain stores or multi-national owned businesses. Many of our businesses are micro family-ownedand-operated establishments. During certain months of the year, pay parking does not allow the waterfront businesses to be competitive with the surrounding malls, and as a result some shops and businesses are closing out or have just walked away.

In supporting your local business community, we all benefit. When the bonds of the local community are strengthened, it is good for you, us and your neighbours. We all win. By purchasing products and services from locally owned businesses, we help stimulate our city economically and recirculate money back into the local economy. For every dollar you spend at a locally owned business, our local economy receives approximately $3 in income, jobs and tax benefits – that is called the “local multiplier,” a term coined by economist John Maynard Keynes. A study of economics shows that communities that are economically and socially successful have significant contributions from both the government and the private sectors. This is why we are asking for your support, so that we can keep White Rock as a livable, shop-able community for all of us to enjoy. To help, you can write to: White Rock City Hall, 15322 Buena Vista Ave., White Rock, B.C., V4B 1Y6, or email whiterockcouncil@city.whiterock.bc.ca Or call city hall at 604-541-2100.

‘Paradise’ returned Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Paradise Lost became treasure found for one jewelry owner last month, after a book-drive volunteer happened across valuables hidden in a case made to look like a bound edition of Milton’s epic poem. Penny Coates said her husband, Bert, was unpacking a box of donations from a recent White Rock Rotary Club book sale, when he discovered the trick container two weeks ago. “He realized when he picked it up, for the size it was it felt very light,” Coates said. “ He opened it up and it was one of those fake books.” Coates said the case contained various jewelry items. “Fortunately, there was a receipt in with one of the items of jewelry that

had a name, address and phone number.” When no one answered calls made to the number, Coates said they used a telephone directory to phone everyone with the same last name. They eventually located the daughter of the jewelry’s owner, who said she and her sister had been clearing their extensive family library and unknowingly packed the box with books they dropped off at Rotary Field House. The Coates met one of the sisters and her husband at the home of Derek Lucas, the club’s president, and returned the keepsakes. “They were grateful and surprised,” Coates said. “It’s always nice to be able to return something like that to a family.”

Police search the woods in Panorama Ridge, where bones were found Tuesday. After investigating, officers determined the bones were not human.

Found bones not human The discovery of bones in Panorama Ridge led police to cordon off a wooded area near 126 Street and 56 Avenue for about 24 hours this week. And while forensic examination determined the remains – found not far from an elementary school – were “not human,” police have yet to say exactly what they belonged to. Asked if they are animal, Const.

Peter Neily could not confirm. “We know that they’re not human.” Officers descended on the heavily forested patch – which appeared to be more of a vacant lot than a public park, with piles of garbage visible at several locations – late Tuesday morning, using yellow police tape to mark off an area just off a public pathway. The search intensified

Wednesday, with the perimeters expanded right to the highway and more officers called to the scene. After an extensive search, police announced midday Wednesday that their investigation had concluded. The search was called off and the file closed shortly before noon. – Tracy Holmes

Premier‘s ‘selfless act of leadership’ � from page 1 he wants the public to give fair consideration to a referendum set for next fall on the HST. “It is clear to me that those initiatives have been overshadowed,” Campbell said. “And when public debate becomes focused on one person, as opposed to what’s in the best interest of the province of British Columbia, we’ve lost sight of what is important. “It’s time for a new person to lead the province.” Falcon said Campbell, prior to Wednesday, gave cabinet no warning of his decision. “We were rocked,” Falcon said, noting it became apparent Campbell’s decision was not made recently. “I think he gave this a lot of thought and I think he was waiting for his wife to return from Nepal, and have a chance to discuss it with her.” Falcon credited Campbell’s decision to remove himself as the “lightning rod of controversy” that the premier concluded was threatening the party and B.C.’s ability to move forward. “It was one of the most selfless acts of leadership I’ve had the privilege of witnessing,” Falcon said. “You have to recognize that, however people feel about Gordon Campbell, whether positively or negatively, he has not been afraid to make difficult decisions and walk through fire to get them implemented.” Falcon also said he felt the decision and its timing were “probably” the right thing to do to serve those interests. “He wanted to make sure that people made an important decision on the HST based not on how they felt about Gordon Campbell, but on the merits, or demerits, of the tax itself.” As a result, Falcon said, the HST now stands a better chance of surviving next September’s referendum, which Campbell had said would be binding on the government. “I believe it will make a difference.” Falcon said Campbell will rank among B.C.’s great premiers, up with W.A.C. Bennett and Bill Bennett. The premier’s announcement came a week after he held a televised address defending the HST and announcing a 15 per cent income tax cut on the first $72,000 earned. Falcon said the future of the income tax cut is not in doubt because it is government policy. There had been growing signs of discord in the Liberal caucus, including open criticism from the energy minister about Campbell’s cabinet shuffle last week

A dream to help Hannah Sutherland

Staff Reporter

t has been Lisa Bruhm’s dream to join a medical mission trip to a developing country, but for 20 years, the sterile-processing technician was turned down because she wasn’t a doctor or nurse. That was until last year, when she became co-founder of a new group that accepts people from various positions in the medical field. Greater Outreach Medical/Educational Destinations (Go-Med), headed by Royal Columbian Hospital surgeon Peter Blair, went on its first trip last January to the Philippines, where the non-profit society’s team of 24 taught Filipino doctors and nurses western medical practices. “Part of our mandate is not just going over there and doing medical (work), we want to show them how to do it.” During Go-Med’s two-week stay, members performed 78 life-saving surgeries. Those without medical backgrounds helped in other ways, such as a communications company engineer who wrote the slate and updated the organization’s blog.

Lisa Bruhm is planning to return to the Philippines, with Go-Med, in January. Top, Through the glass of a surgery room hospital workers watch an operation being performed.

“We all took our talents and put them together.” Bruhm, who created Go-Med’s logo and printed T-shirts for the team, cried upon seeing members together wearing the garments. “It was my dream for so long... it felt surreal,” the South Surrey resident said. “I didn’t give up on my dream.” Team members paid for the trip themselves – Bruhm estimates it cost a total of around $50,000 – and brought their own sutures, medicines and equipment.

Although Bruhm knew there would be differences between western hospitals and the one Go-Med worked out of in Baguio City, she was still surprised to see staff make their own gauze, the rails of stretchers being held up with oxygen tubing and intravenous bags hanging from jacket hangers. “I was expecting it, and then when you see it, it’s so different. I realized how lucky I am to have the medical system here.” There was also little privacy at the hospital – something Bruhm said would not be tolerated in Canada. She recalled seeing a 27-year-old woman, who had undergone a mastectomy, have her dressings changed in front of family and other patients because there were no curtains to pull around her. “Her dignity ... she had a smile on her face and just kept saying ‘thank you.’” Bruhm walked away from the sight in tears. Another memorable case was a 12-yearold girl with a hernia. Her parents couldn’t afford to have it removed, so the Go-Med team performed the procedure for free. “It’s an honour and prestigious for a Filipino person to be operated on by a North American doctor,” Bruhm said, noting patients would brag to family and friends. The Filipinos expressed thanks through gifts, food and “heartwarming” cards, which Go-Med members hung up and read daily. “The Filipino people were so gracious and grateful.” The team worked eight hours a day, which meant they also had downtime to go sightseeing, shopping or just relax. “And I think that’s what’s different about our trip from others,” Bruhm said, noting volunteers on some mission trips don’t get

opportunities for recreational activities. The experience made Bruhm feel grateful for living in Canada. “I am so proud to be a Canadian and knowing our group was over as Canadians to make a difference in the world,” she said. “I think a lot of people end up being complacent in their life here in Canada, and to go to a Third World country like that and realize they don’t have the medical we do... I believe everyone’s entitled to health care and I believe everyone deserves to be looked after and that’s what I wanted to do.” With a goal to eventually go on two a year, Go-Med members are now focusing on a return to Baguio City this January, while also considering a trip to Egypt. In an effort to raise $3,000 for the Philippines mission, Go-Med is holding a fundraiser Nov. 14 at 5 p.m. at Deluxe Restaurant, 15475 Marine Dr., featuring a silent auction, door prizes, cash bar and live music.

Warm up to HOT SAVINGS ON HUNDREDS OF COOL ITEMS & PAY NO HST! Contributed photo

Emilie McConnachie and Jessica Kim gathered more than 350 pounds of food for the local food bank during a door-to-door collection on Halloween.

A real treat for food bank Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Non-perishable food items were being handed out along with the usual sugary treats Halloween night, as a number of Peninsula youth set off with a goal to help fill the food bank. Earl Marriott Secondary students Emilie McConnachie and Jessica Kim, both 15, were just two local participants in Halloween for Hunger, a food drive campaign initiated by social enterprise Me to We. The Grade 10s amassed 335 food items – weighing 372 pounds – during five hours of collection around their South Surrey neighbourhoods, and plan to hand over the donations to White Rock/South Surrey Food Bank this week. “We’re actually really proud of ourselves,” McConnachie told Peace Arch News. “We didn’t

she said. “There were groups of people doing it around the world, so we thought we might as well be part of it.” The teens advised their neighbourhoods of their intentions by sending out fliers beforehand, and, last Sunday, came around with a shopping cart to collect donations. “We received a pretty good response,” McConnachie said. “We didn’t really know what to expect. At first, we just wanted over 100 (pounds) because we didn’t know people would be this into it.” A number of area schools also collected food for Halloween for Hunger, as did those who joined festivities at First United Church Oct. 30. Children and youth were invited to the church to carve pumpkins, make crafts and decorate bags to take treat-or-treating and fill with food items.

The ADDED Touch SINCE 1984

Rita Clarkson and her father, Reg, share a laugh at the podium during Clarkson’s retirement celebration last week.

Colleagues bid adieu to Clarkson Colleagues, friends and family gathered to bid a fond farewell to longtime leisure services manager Rita Clarkson Thursday, as she marked the end of a 23-year career in White Rock. Clarkson announced her decision to step down in September, citing family commitments. She first started working for the city in 1980. Her last day was Friday, Oct. 29. In recognizing Clarkson’s contributions at White Rock council last week, Mayor

Catherine Ferguson described her as “a real team player” who has been key in “more events than I could ever count,” from the long-running Tour de White Rock to the newly embarked-on Centre for Active Living. She has been instrumental in directing emergency response, fastidious when it came to finances and quick to share her expertise with other communities, Ferguson said.

Clarkson is also not one to keep quiet on issues she feels are important, Ferguson said – a statement Clarkson herself made to the Peace Arch News recently. “She’s always been the kind of person who says what she thinks, regardless of whether it is the popular thought of the day,” Ferguson said. On hand to receive the praise, Clarkson received a standing ovation at council. - Tracy Holmes

The district was thanked for sharing their expertise with other districts provincially and nationally by forwarding lesson plans, videos and initiatives. Paulicelli said that during traumatic events, such as the triple-homicide of three children in Merritt in 2008, Surrey was quick to provide assistance. “Your commitment to students and school safety has certainly transcended your primary responsibility for Surrey,” Paulicelli said, prior to presenting trustees with two framed prints as tokens of appreciation.

REMEMBER WHEN

RCMP lauds school board The Surrey Board of Education was saluted by the RCMP last week for the supporting and endorsing initiatives that keep schools safe. Ten years ago, the school district and Surrey RCMP signed a two-page agreement to have a liaison program in local schools. Since then, explained RCMP E Division’s Sgt. Frank Paulicelli at the Oct. 28 board meeting, an “enviable” working relationship has developed. Some of the results of that partnership, he said, include the school-based threat assessment protocol, the alternate suspension program, the PSST (Protecting Surrey Schools Together) website and the Wrap gang intervention program. “Surrey’s Board of Education has supported and endorsed each of these initiatives,” said Paulicelli. “We applaud their willingness to

CITY NEWS COUNCIL UPDATE

2011 COMMITTEE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

White Rock’s New Tax Revitalization Program

The City of White Rock is seeking volunteers to provide insight and expertise to serve on various city committees in the following subject areas: 1. City Committees • Business, Tourism and Economic Growth • Environment and Ecological Health • Housing, Social Matters and Community Service • Transportation • Heritage, Arts and Culture

If your business meets eligibility requirements, and is making improvements to its façade, or undertaking a renovation where the value is at least $100,000 or greater, or if your business is embarking on a new construction project of over $1 million, then you can apply for a Tax Exemption Certificate for a term of three or five years. On October 25, 2010, in order to position the City for future investment and revitalization, White Rock City Catherine Ferguson Council unanimously approved a new Tax Revitalization Mayor Program (Tax Exemption Bylaw), which is a bylaw to exempt eligible property improvements from municipal taxation.

Mary-Wade Anderson

Doug McLean Councillor

Councillor

The purpose of the program is to encourage the revitalization and improvement of properties in the Town Centre, Lower Town Centre, and Waterfront Business Areas (East and West Beach), by providing for the phasing in of new taxes applicable to the completed construction or improvements (the land value is not exempt). This is the City’s way of encouraging and helping property owners give their building a facelift, improve marketability and property value, while participating in the revitalization of the city.

Al Campbell Councillor

Helen Fathers Councillor

Grant Meyer Councillor

Lynne Sinclair Councillor

For more information or to apply for a Tax Exemption Certificate, contact Paul Stanton in Planning and Development Services at White Rock City Hall or at 604.541.2142. The new Tax Revitalization Program (Tax Exemption Bylaw) is just another way that Council is moving forward with their strategic goals and objectives in order to create and maintain a sustainable city.

City Committee appointments are from January – December 31, 2011. Most committee meetings occur monthly at City Hall at 4:00 p.m. City of White Rock residents will form the majority of membership on these committees. The City is also seeking individuals to serve on the following specific committees: 2. Board of Variance The Board of Variance reviews applications from residents who need a variance if they feel that compliance with the Zoning Bylaw may cause them a hardship. The Board makes decisions on whether the application meets the criteria of hardship. The Board consists of three volunteer members appointed by Council for a three year term, and meet approximately five times per year, at 3:30 p.m. at City Hall. 3. Public Art Advisory Committee (PAAC) The Public Art Advisory Committee will advise Council on the implementation of the Public Art policies for the City of White Rock. At minimum the committee will meet quarterly. 4. Advisory Design Panel (ADP) The Advisory Design Panel advises Council on the quality of design of the built environment of the City, particularly with regard to proposals for development and redevelopment. Volunteer members are needed for a two year term, in the following categories: Resident, Landscape Specialist, Architect and Physically Challenged representatives. Please submit a resume specifying your preferred area of interest and outlining any relevant experience for the City Committees and/or note if you are specifically interested in serving on the Board of Variance, PAAC or ADP to: Tracey Arthur, City Clerk The Corporation of the City of White Rock 15322 Buena Vista Avenue White Rock, BC V4B 1Y6 tarthur@city.whiterock.bc.ca; or Fax: 604.541.9348 All applications must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. November 26, 2010.

WATERFRONT PARKING It’s here! From November 1 – February 28 it now only costs $1.00 per hour for waterfront parking between the hours of 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. In September, White Rock City Council amended the waterfront parking rate in order to simplify the pay parking policy for waterfront businesses and visitors while maintaining fiscal viability and minimizing the financial impact on taxpayers.

All applications/resumes may be made available to City of White Rock Council and staff for review. City Council will make the committee appointments mid-December. The information is collected under the authority of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

NEXT WEEK No meetings are scheduled All meetings held at City Hall, 15322 Buena Vista Avenue

lifestyles South Surrey man to celebrate 100th birthday this weekend

‘A credit to his community’ Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

South Surrey resident Clark Bevan has had a number of adventures over the past 100 years, from keeping a pet bear when he lived on an Alberta farm, to screening 16mm films in Richmond. His experiences have made for great stories to pass onto his three daughters, who are now recalling the accounts in time for Clark’s upcoming birthday. Delsie Laird is preparing a slideshow of her father’s life to present at his early birthday party Saturday, while her sister, Lillie Bevan, will commentate. The celebration will be held at his current home, Crescent Gardens Retirement Community. Lillie said the milestone is one her father has always wanted to mark. “I remember him as a kid, talking about reaching 100.” Clark was born Nov. 9, 1910 in Ohio, where his family – which included seven children – ran a dairy and cattle farm. Delsie said her father would have to skin possums for possum pie, and sell the furs for a couple dollars a hide. The family moved to Canada in 1925, according to Lillie, and lived in B.C. during the late ‘30s. Clark didn’t qualify to serve in the

Second World War, she said, and instead worked for a shipyard. The family later lived in Alberta, Lillie said, where Clark married his wife, Charlotte. The couple moved to Richmond in 1946, Lillie noted, where they stayed more than 30 years. Delsie said her father was a gold panner for a time, and, as a projectionist, rented the local movie theatre in Steveston and charged people a quarter to view 16mm films. “Everyone used to come and watch his movies,” she said. Clark worked at BC Packers for 25 years, before retiring in 1975. Delsie said he kept active,

walking and practising yoga every day. “He used to eat all the vegetables out of his garden,” she noted. “He used to pluck his own chickens. He never had those chemical foods that we all eat nowadays.” Delsie said Clark took his daughters to the annual July 1 parade for 20 years, and kept all the footage he filmed, and later donated it to the Steveston Museum. Clark moved to South Surrey in 1980, Lillie said, and Charlotte died about 15 years later. Lillie said her father kept an extensive garden until he was 95, maintaining the lawn on his acreage. “He only stopped because he lost his sight,” she said. “He’s been a very active person.” Clark worked hard most of his life, Lillie added, and has lived at Crescent Gardens for the past three years. “He didn’t have a very good education, but was a very hard worker and very reliable… and kept busy,” she said. “He’s a nice man and he’s been a credit to his community in his quiet way. He didn’t set the world on fire… but I would say he is kind of the backbone of the country.”

Organics program launches Kevin Diakiw Black Press

and July to test how receptive the public would be to the program. Out of the 1,356 responses received, 88 per cent supported initiating an organic waste pickup program. Residents were also in favour of a weekly organics pickup, to avoid potential odours from the food product. Regular waste streams (non-organic garbage) would be picked up every two weeks – a plan that received approval from 78 per cent of the respondents. “If Surrey were to achieve the same results as Toronto, the city’s annual residential waste diversion rate would be well beyond the region’s goal of 70 per cent (diversion) by 2015,” a staff report to city council states.

More will be known about the success of the program once the pilot project is complete. “The pilot program will be focused on 2,000 households and will commence in early November, 2010 and run through until the next city-wide collection contract commences in July, 2012,” the staff report states. During that pilot, half the homes will receive three larger 240-litre wheeled carts (for garbage, recycling and organics separately) and the other homes will receive one larger bin (for organics only). About half the respondents in the city survey said they would pay more for the larger receptacles used in the program.

McNally ready to begin new chapter After 17 years, Laurae McNally is hanging up her hat as a member of the White Rock Museum and Archives board. But the White Rock resident and Surrey school board chair has no plans to completely distance herself from the city’s heritage. “I have a keen, keen interest in

heritage and the museum board,” McNally said. “I’ll always be really interested in the museum. It’s a vital part of the city.” McNally cited school board commitments and the need for new people on the board as among reasons for stepping down.

Starting this month, all food waste – from chicken bones to salad – will be collected separately from hundreds of Surrey homes and composted. It comes as the city starts testdriving a new curbside residential organics collection service at 2,000 homes as part of a pilot project that is aimed to go citywide in the next two years. The object is to divert as much garbage from landfills as possible. It’s believed the initiative could reduce at least 70 per cent of the waste heading to regional landfills in Cache Creek and Delta.

Taylor takes SFU job Wanda Chow Black Press

Former B.C. finance minister Carole Taylor will be Simon Fraser University’s next chancellor, the university announced last month. The former Canadian broadcaster, politician and business leader will start her threeyear term at spring convocation in June 2011, when incumbent Brandt Louie steps down. “Carole Taylor is known across Canada as a leader who embraces change, and who challenges us to think creatively about the major issues of the day,” SFU president Andrew Petter said in a press release. “SFU is fortunate to have attracted a person of such vast experience and so profound an understanding of the value of higher education.” Taylor is an Officer of the Order of Canada, a former Vancouver city councillor, and has chaired a number of high-profile boards, including CBC/Radio Canada, Canada Ports Corporation and the national Economic Advisory Council. “At the Economic Advisory Council, we recently spent a lot of time questioning what Canada’s role in the world would be going forward,” Taylor said in a press release. “And it didn’t matter what slice of the issue you were looking at, the answer always came back to education. “I look forward to working with president Petter and all the faculty, students, alumni and staff at SFU with that goal in mind: what kind of Canada do we want? And what is SFU’s role in that particular future?”

Board credits Tzu Chi

The Tzu Chi Foundation’s “generous support of education and the disadvantaged students and families” in Surrey was recognized by the board of education last week. The foundation issues bursaries each year – between $20,000 and $30,000 annually. “Two wonderful examples of exactly how this support makes a difference for our students are the spring DREAM camp and the summer camps,” said board chairperson Laurae McNally. DREAM stands for Drama, Recreation, Extended Learning, Arts and Music. These day camps are offered to children who would benefit most from participating in constructive, educational activities through school breaks, and whose parents aren’t in a position to pay for typical children’s camps experiences. While the DREAM camps involve a variety of partners, last year, 546 children from 10 elementary schools received bursaries from the Tzu Chi Foundation that enabled them to participate. A few years ago, Green Timbers Elementary students held a bottle drive to contribute $213 to the Foundation’s efforts to support a Surrey Memorial Hospital expansion. – Black Press

Prosperity mine project can reapply, Hawes says By Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The rejection of the Prosperity mine project is disappointing for the B.C. government, but Minister of State for Mining Randy Hawes has already begun work on another try. Hawes talked to Taseko Mines about the decision by federal Environment Minister Jim Prentice as soon as it was released on Tuesday, and both he and the company noted the decision leaves the door open to reapply. Hawes said the decision on the copper-gold project near Williams Lake shows the need to reform the approval process for major projects. B.C. issued a permit for the mine after assessing its impact, including the draining of a trout-bearing lake in the Nemiah Valley. The B.C. government is reorganizing its resource ministries to create “one project, one process,” and Hawes said Ottawa also needs to do make changes. “The B.C. process is a very complete one that takes into account not just the physical environment but the social environment and the economic

Announcing the federal cabinet’s decision, Prentice made no mention of their long battle over territorial claims or their hostile

reaction to Hawes. Hawes shrugged off aboriginal demands that he resign for saying the Tsilhqot’in leaders were putting a lake ahead of their children’s well-being. He said there was “a lot of rhetoric and a lot of heat” but he believes aboriginal leaders will “re-engage.” NDP energy and mines critic John Horgan said Taseko Mines should look to the success of the Mount Milligan copper-gold project, which received federal approval this week.

Volcano may have helped salmon run Jeff Nagel Black Press

Fraser River fishermen may have an Alaskan volcano to thank for this summer’s supercharged sockeye salmon run that ended up being the biggest in nearly a century. The eruption of Kasatochi, an Aleutian Island volcano, fertilized a vast area of the north Pacific Ocean by spewing out huge amounts of iron-rich ash, according to new research presented to the Cohen Commission into sockeye stocks. It’s one of the more intriguing ideas to arise in the hearings now underway in Vancouver. The judicial inquiry into the collapse of the 2009 sockeye run, when just over a million fish returned, has been forced to also try to make sense of why almost 30 times more sockeye came back this year. Kasatochi’s ash fell at precisely the right time in the summer of 2008 to create huge algae and plankton blooms that provided Fraser sockeye with a tremendously rich food source, researchers told the commission. “There was a massive increase,” Dr. David Welch testified last week. “It was a very large eruption.”

The eruption of the Kasatochi volcano in Alaska’s Aleutian Islands may have helped salmon.

Welch tabled satellite imagery of the ash plume and the resulting plankton bloom, which he said could well be responsible for the tremendous productivity of the Fraser sockeye run that came back this year. The run size is estimated at 34.5 million, although officials expect the final count to drop to around

29 million. Crucially, the eruption happened just as a major storm system was pounding Kasatochi, helping disperse the ash over a wide area of the Gulf of Alaska. And it all happened as young sockeye from the Fraser were arriving in that part of the ocean, just in time to gorge on the fish food bonanza at a critical stage of their growth. Scientists stress there are many other factors that could have contributed to the unusual return. But the theory is a signal that this summer’s salmon bounty was likely a fluke and not a lasting rebound – volcanic eruptions can’t be counted on for consistent help. Justice Bruce Cohen, in an interim report released Friday, said this year’s “extraordinary” rebound was in contrast to the “steady and profound” decline of sockeye over the past two decades. The commission has so far received 153 written submissions, most addressing aquaculture issues. Hearings are scheduled until late December. This week, current and former managers with Fisheries and Oceans Canada are testifying about the structure of the department.

Brrrrrrrrrr ... it’s shaping up to be a chilly winter in B.C. The region is heading into a La Niña year that could create the worst winter weather since 1955, according to some experts, and the Farmers’ Almanac is also calling for a cooler winter with above-average snowfall. Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips says it can be difficult to accurately predict a seasonal forecast, but notes La Niña years are usually cooler, frostier and snowier. “It really comes down to which way the winds are blowing,” Phillips says. “This year, the ugly sister of El Niño – La Niña – is expected. (La Niña winters) typically give us more arctic air than Pacific air ... our outlook shows the flavour for this winter is colder than normal through the province.” Phillips notes that when El Niño and La Niña are involved, it increases the chances of getting the weather

that is predicted. He looked at all La Niña winters since 1950, and says since then, there have been 18 La Niña winters

locally. Of those 18, 13 winters were colder than average and five winters were warmer than average. “That tells you that

there are no guarantees, but it also tells you that for every warmer-than-average winter, there were three colder winters,” he says. Twelve of those 18 winters were snowier than normal, but six were not.

And in the past five La Niña winters, three were warmer, one was normal, and one was a little cooler, Phillips says. “It may not necessarily be the winter from hell, but likely, we’ll have more winter than we had last year.”

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Fibre Flare returns to Ocean Park Community Hall Nov 13-14

Weavers, spinners to showcase talents Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

t’s not just about hats and scarves and shawls anymore. Working with spun and woven fibres is an artistic medium that has proven as flexible and versatile a means of self-expression as painting drawing or pottery. Further proof of the creativity of local artists working in the medium will be well in evidence at the upcoming Fibre Flare showcase and sale of the Peace Arch Weavers and Spinners Guild, Friday, Nov. 12, from 4 to 8 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 13, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Ocean Park Community Hall (1577 128 St.). The show – returning for the second year in a row to a venue that seems to work the best for the organization and its many supporters on the Peninsula – will offer the usual wide variety of natural fibre works, ranging from woven linens to blankets and rugs, heirlooms, tapestries and felted pieces to contemporary silks and fashion scarves. There will even be woven and fibre Christmas ornaments and cards, noted Elke Denhart, vice president of the organization, which holds a drop-in session every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. downstairs at the archive room next to the Surrey Museum in Cloverdale, where their large loom has its home. “We have around 80 regular members and usually at least 25 are involved in the show,” Denhart said. “We have three or four great tapestry weavers; wonderful scarves of silk and modern fibres like bamboo – just beautiful stuff. “We also have a lot of felted goods, even felted bowls – can you imagine that?” Denhart noted the event will also feature a silent auction of donated handmade pieces – with proceeds to the guild – plus demonstratrions of spinning techniques. “Admission is free, and there are also door prizes,” she said.

Lynne Vander Linde, a member of the Peace Arch Weavers and Spinners Guild, spins yarn on a loom. She has been a member of the organization for some six years and has found it an excellent way to gain inspiration and acquire new skills. “I’d always woven tapestries in my earlier years in Edmonton,” she said. “But here I actually learned to spin on a spinning wheel. “What I like about the guild – actually, I love it – is that whenever someone knows

something better than another person, they’re always willing to teach. “Most of us create at home, but we get inspiration from each other at the drop-ins. It makes it so much more enjoyable. “I’ve never been a person to join groups, but these ladies are so fantastic – educated, warm people.” As well as the satisfaction of accomplishment in creating projects, weavers and spinners

tend to have a more positive and relaxed approach to life, Denhart said, aided by the peacefulness of the process. “It’s not just the work – it’s the meditation,” she said, with a laugh. She recommends those interested in becoming members drop in to one of the regular Wednesday sessions. “Or better still, come to Fibre Flare and see what it’s all about,” she added.

Michener’s outlook fuses east and west Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Bathers (1965) by artist Robert Michener

South Surrey painter Robert Michener is known for the philosophic tranquility of his work, which is what makes it unusual to hear him speak in terms of challenges in describing his latest show, a look back at 40 years of work, at Vancouver’s Ian

Tan Gallery (2202 Granville St.) until Nov. 18. “It’s been quite an ordeal,” he admitted in a recent conversation at his home studio. “Since the paintings are all from my collection, a lot of them have been carried back and forth across the continent, and a lot have had to be restretched and reframed.

It’s been pretty challenging.” On the plus side, he noted, “some of my works from way back are in mint condition.” “I had a good technique. The basis of good oil paintings is using white lead. The toxicity of it has been over-rated. It’s alright, so long as you’re keeping it out of pencils and

Retrospective view on canvas

� from page 29 stylized farm paintings of the `80s and early `90s are under-represented. Nonetheless, the collection – which also spills over into eight canvases at Vancouver’s Petley Jones Gallery, where Michener’s wife, Ann Nelson, is also currently exhibiting a show of smaller paintings and watercolours – traces most of the major trends in Micheners work from 1960 to the present. These include an early infatuation with abstract expressionism (Man Against Red, 1960), to increasingly idealized Arcadian figures-in-alandscape influenced by Cezanne (Bathers, 1966), to his Gorge series (including Three Falls With Osprey Crow and Angler, 2001) in which human figures are tiny intruders in the context of giant rock formations and powerful streams rendered with an east-meets-west delicacy and subtlety. “I loved the malleability of action painting – of not having a goal and going for the gusto,” Michener recalled. “But in half a year I was disaffected with non-representational painting, even though my early figurative work was quite abstract.” Aspects of traditional Asian art, and later, Middle Eastern, Mughal and Indian art and Islamic painting, have been a continuing theme in the Minnesota-born Michener’s work, rooted in the effect of two crucial early influences – Walter Quirt, his mentor at the University of Minnesota, a Marxist veteran of the WPA movement and philosopher F.S.C. Northrop’s The Meeting of East and West. Michener’s later work might aptly be described as a synthesis of the two, in which Quirt’s call for an increasingly feminine re-orientation of civilization and art was combined with Northrop’s call for a mixing of the attributes of Eastern and Western civilization. “I’m not surprised by the fact that a lot of people seem to prefer my early work.,” he said. “Some of my early works were very high energy and a couple of them were pretty aggressive. But a lot of my direction and purpose and aim in art has been to come up with something opposite – mixing masculine and feminine or east and west, which is essentially the same thing. Long opposed, on a philosophical and ecological basis, to overpopulation, Michener has also seen to it that his art – particular in his Badlands and Gorge series, isn’t overpopulated by human figures either. “My love for traditional Chinese and Japanese painting has resulted in paintings in which the figure is overwhelmed by, and embedded in, the landscape,” he said. “I feel we’ve suffered tremendously from hubris. But in my Badlands paintings the fisherman and the hiker is in his appropriate place in nature.” For more information, visit www.iantangallery or www.robertmichener.com

Vaudevillians hit the road Sheila Reynolds Black Press

The Vaudevillians have tapped into some undiscovered talents while rehearsing for their upcoming show. Sure, they were well aware they can sing. Most can readily dance. And telling a joke is old hat for many of the senior performers. But this year’s show, called On The Road, is quite different that any they’ve presented in the past, and revealed a little more than expected. Destined for the Surrey Arts Centre stage on Nov. 13, the first half the production is about a downand-out, road-weary 1920s vaudevillian troupe arriving in a gold mining town on the West Coast and holding auditions because they’re short of performers. With a new, beefed up cast in place, the second half is the actual vaudeville show. While chock full of humour and music, the

opening act represents the first time The Vaudevillians have done a play rather than

the traditional songand-dance format. “It’s a departure for us,” said Trimble, who usually fills the role of MC. He said he’s been continually surprised by the “considerable” acting talent within the group of two dozen.

S ERIE S NEW

“I never even gave it a thought because every week we sing and we dance and you don’t think of them as actors.” Eileen Shore, who regularly depicts the diminutive, dead-pan leprechaun that shuffles on and off stage during standard Vaudevillian shows, is a natural actress, said Trimble. And she’s not the only one. “We really discovered some gems… I’m acting, but I’m not one of the better ones,” he laughed. The change in the show’s regular format came after director Gordon Long decided he wanted to challenge the senior troupe, whose members range in age from 63 to 89. What followed was some in-depth research into old vaudeville, and they found there were often 15- to 20-minute short plays included in the traditional shows. Remaining entirely unchanged, however,

Surrey’s 2010 Celebration Site was named for Best Public Entertainment Event. More than 300,000 people attended the Surrey 2010 celebrations, which featured 150 artists and headliners from around the world. It included a 30,000-sq.-ft. tent hosting international food pavilions, a business lounge and giant video screens. “The goal of the celebration site was to provide a family-focused venue for Surrey residents and visitors to gather and enjoy the spirit of the Winter Games,” said Mayor Dianne Watts. “There was an overwhelming turnout and the event could not have been a success without the planning, hard work and dedication from the City of Surrey staff, volunteers and the special

tanding in the middle of the visitors’ locker at Rogers Arena Monday night, Tyler Eckford could be excused for exuding a lack of enthusiasm. After all, the New Jersey Devils – who called the former Surrey Eagles defenceman up from the minors last week – had 20 minutes earlier lost 3-0 to the Vancouver Canucks. The defeat was the Devils’ fifth in sixth games, sinking them into last place in the National Hockey League. And with Devils’ captain Jamie Langenbrunner sitting with his head in his hands – and skates still on – just a few feet away, and veteran ❝It’s a childhood blue-liner Colin White dream to play in looking, and sounding, as though the world your hometown… was crumbling around it was a great him, it would seem honour to get to inappropriate to sound excited about playing play here.❞ your first NHL game Tyler Eckford in your hometown. New Jersey Devils Instead, Eckford, a 25-year-old Langley native, spoke nearly in a whisper. “It’s a childhood dream to play in your hometown. Unfortunately, we didn’t win the game,” he said, dressed in a light-grey suit and purple tie. “It was a tough loss, and that’s the most important thing. From my standpoint though, it was a great honour to get to play here.” For Eckford, who was an integral part of the Surrey Eagles’ championship team in 2005 before heading off to play at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks, Monday’s tilt was his sixth NHL contest. He played three games last year, and joined the injury-ravaged Devils – who had eight regulars out of the lineup against the Canucks – again last week for a road trip that began in California and ended Wednesday in Chicago. “We don’t play in Vancouver too many times, so I was just fortunate to get called up, and be able to play here,” he said. “I’m just working hard to get an opportunity to play up here (in the NHL), and then I’m just trying to make the most of it when I do get the call.” And though he was wearing opposition colours at Rogers Arena, he still had plenty of supporters in the arena, including family,

New Jersey lost the game, 3-0. friends and a large contingent of former Langley Minor Hockey teammates with whom Eckford is still close. “I had a lot of family and friends out there,” he said, adding that he knew his hockey buddies were “kicking around.”

“I don’t know where they were all sitting, but I know they were here somewhere.” Though New Jersey didn’t escape Vancouver with a victory, Eckford himself had one of his better games since joining the club. He got a season-high 14:04 of ice-time

‘Obviously there’s always butterflies’ � from page 33 confidence in you, it boosts your own confidence. It felt really good tonight,” he said. “You just play hard, play smart and try not to make any mistakes.” Eckford, who has played this season in the American Hockey League with Albany, admits to having a few nervous moments before stepping out onto the ice. “I’ve been up for a couple games now, but obviously there’s always butterflies. There’s probably something wrong if you don’t have them,” he said. “But after warmup, I settled in and shut everything else out.”

Still, the loss was tough for the young blue-liner to swallow. “I think we played well. We had 30 shots on net, we had lots of scoring chances. We just couldn’t score.” Though Eckford’s stay with the big club may not be a prolonged one – when some of the regulars return from the injured list, he’ll likely head back to the AHL – he still expressed hope that, despite a rough start, the team could turn its season around. “There’s so much talent on this team, and we’re used to winning,” he said. “We just have to keep shooting the puck on net, and eventually they’re going to go in.”

Gridiron squad shuts out North Surrey Cardinals

Peewee Titans still in playoff hunt Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Brian Giebelhaus photo

White Rock-South Surrey Titans ball-carrier Aidan Ellis breaks through a sea of teammates and would-be tacklers en route to a touchdown during a peewee football tilt Sunday at South Surrey Athletic Park.

The White Rock-South Surrey peewee White Titans kept their playoff hopes alive Sunday at South Surrey Athletic Park, shutting out the North Surrey Cardinals 16-0 in a must-win game. Noah Brown was the standout performer for the home team, scoring his first-ever touchdown – on a 55-yard run, no less – while also saving a touchdown with an interception in his team’s end zone. The other Titans’ TD was scored on a run by quarterback Aidan Ellis. If the peewee squad is able to defeat the winless Cloverdale Lynx this weekend, they’ll secure a spot in the playoffs. Defensively, the team was led by Camen Saliken and Robbie Sutherland, while Tighe Androu also had a strong game. White Rock’s other peewee squad, the Blue Titans, also won this week, edging the Royal City Hyacks 22-20 on Wednesday. Earlier in the day, the atom division Blue Titans earned a 22-0 win over the North Surrey T-Birds, with Hayden Johnson, Lukas Frers and Isaiah Edwards scoring touchdowns. Isaac Wilson added two

TD converts. On defence, Marcus Cumberworth had two sacks, and the Titans’ special-teams unit also recovered a pair of onside kicks. In bantam gridiron action, the Titans walloped the North Surrey Panthers by a 49-0 score. Peter Kilberg had another multi-touchdown game, while also putting forth strong offensive efforts were Nico Docolas, Logan Mackie, Travis Grandjambe and Dylan Kazda, the latter of whom scored his first TD of the season. In flag play, the White Titans edged the South Delta Rams 12-3 at Dennison Park, with Luke Chakrabarti scoring two touchdowns. Oraine Scott and Jacob Jordan-Knox each added one TD apiece. Meanwhile, the Blue Titans tied the North Delta Longhorns 6-6, with Beckham Dickie and Reid Turner scoring touchdowns and Thor McKenzie and Brandon Walton leading the defence. The atom White Titans struggled Sunday, losing 46-8 to a very talented Vancouver Trojans squad, while the junior bantam Titans also lost, 24-0 to the Coquitlam Vikings. White Rock-South Surrey’s midget team did not play, but earned a 10-0 default win over Richmond.

United U17s win Cup contest A few weeks after losing 2-1 to Coquitlam, Peace Arch United’s U17 boys squad evened the score, knocking off their rivals 3-0 in the last Cup game of the season. Peace Arch was in control of the game right from the opening whistle, and took a 1-0 lead in the first 10 minutes when Greg Seselja headed the ball past the Coquitlam keeper, who seemed taken by surprise at the scoring chance. Peace Arch doubled its lead shortly thereafter when Maxime LaRoche-Parfitt scored on a shot from outside the 18-yard box – a shot that again seemed to surprise the Coquitlam squad. Right before halftime, PAU’s Antoine Kerouac-Dube’s corner kick hit a Coquitlam defender and ricocheted back into the net to extend the lead to 3-0, a score that held up through the second half. Marshal Herridge was excellent between the pipes for Peace Arch, while defender Kyle MacDonald was excellent in front of him, cutting off a few would-be breakaways from the opposition.

Homes: industrial is in Make your home modern and chic with pieces inspired by the past MAGGIE CALLOWAY When deciding how to decorate, homeowners may find it tough to choose an interior design style that suits their lifestyle, their taste and their home.

Industrial-style home design has been identified as an up-and-coming trend by many industry experts, a mode of décor that can bring to mind a New York Soho loft – or a Yaletown loft in Vancouver – and the lifestyle that goes with it. Perhaps some homeowners prefer to hearken back to a slower time, when furniture was passed down through the generations, when the nicks and bumps were things of family folklore. A time some like to recall as safer. Chic industrial design usually incorporates

metals and/or aluminum in greys and darker colours with antiqued and artifact wood in all kinds of colours and grains. Mid-century furniture adds a sense of history, mixed with splashes of bright colour and accented with rivets, welds or other heritage-inspired features. Metro Vancouver developer Amacon, when building a new-home project at District: South Main, took the time to underCONTINUED ON P.42

Finalists for this year’s Georgie Awards have been announced, and several Metro Vancouver builders and renovators have made the final cut. The premier housing event for B.C., the Georgies recognize the best of the best in home construction, renovation, design, development and sales/marketing. “From architectural elegance to energy efficiency, B.C. builders and renovators have weathered the storm of the economic recession in 2009 and have come out on top in 2010,” says Georgie Awards executive producer Scott Whitemarsh. “This year’s finalists prove that high standards, innovative ideas and sheer guts push the cream to the top.” Awards are being presented in 43 categories this year, including two new categories: Best Outdoor Living Space and Best Condo Renovation, to reflect what is happening in the local industry. Finalists in all categories were selected from hundreds of nominations by a judging panel of out-of-province industry experts. Many finalists are also members of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association. “Even in a difficult market, the quality and creativity demonstrated by the finalists show why residential construction continues to be the economic engine of British Columbia,” Whitemarsh says. According to the Georgie Awards website, the winners will be announced in January, followed by an awards gala in Vancouver on March 5. Visit www.georgieawards.ca for a list of finalists and look for further Georgie details in New Local Home later this month.

stand the neighbourhood, its unique culture and the desire of its residents to protect what they had built there since 1888. Amacon was sensitive to the pride the locals took in the distinctive, one-of-a-kind stores owned and operated by craftsmen and artists in the historical Vancouver neighbourhood. The company looked at how many stores sold the furniture of yesterday, still beautiful and sturdy, with many more years of service left in the solid wood and cloaked in a patina only possible after years of care. To naturally fit into the existing community, Amacon designed a building that honours the neighbourhood. District show suites in the new homes were designed with a tip of the hat to the simplicity of culture, in a trendy, industrial chic style. “Discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and seeing something different,” says Gary Friedman, chairman of Restoration Hardware. The Vancouver business owner commissioned a new direction in a furniture line that has excited both designers and clients alike with its chic, industrial style. “We’ve embraced that same sense of discovery in our creative pursuits, each day looking all around us to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, the new in the old,” says Friedman. “Our appreciation of great architecture and

collection of salvaged fragments from historical buildings inspired this season’s unique collection of lighting.” Such items include a barn door trolley pendant, fashioned from a reproduction of an antique cast iron trolley, threaded with cloth cording and fitted with vintage-style filament bulbs, he notes. “It is truly a one-of-a-kind piece,” Friedman says. A hand-carved Corinthian column lamp is a reproduction that once graced a building façade in Europe, he notes, while balcony railings from France, crafted of forged iron, were transformed into the store’s French architectural railing sconces. A whole collection of artifact lamps, mounted on museum bases, feature a lion’s head cornice, a Louis XV rococo fragment, a 19th-century Parisian gate

railing, and a Belgian heraldic shield that dates to the 1890s, for example. “This collection lets people put furniture in their homes that is not just functional,” says Restoration Hardware store leader Dorothy Bozek. She notes the “industrial edge” interior design style can mean incorporating pieces into the scheme that are interesting from a structural point of view, from a pair of calipers to an old pulley. “Each piece has a story. What using these industrial (pieces) has allowed us to do in design is to have that juxtaposition, that tension between the old and the new,” Bozek says. “You will have an old steamer trunk, like they had on the Titanic, and then you put your Apple laptop on it ... old and new, and old tech and new tech.” Placing some high-gloss pieces next to a distressed item of furniture will give the design architectural shape that tells a story with lowtech and high-tech details, she says. “We are pulling from the past. We want you to have a conversation (about your interior design); we want your guests to ask about the coffee table,” Bozek says. For Metro Vancouver homeowners looking to update their homes with an industrial chic look that melds modern and historic with a trendy flair, Restoration Hardware is just one option among many. Surplus stores may yield school desks, tables and stools, while farm sales are good to peruse for interesting pieces of machinery that can be repurposed. Garage sales may even lead to the discovery of a perfect industrial-style treasure. In uncertain economic times, homeowners may be striving toward a greater understanding of permanence and an appreciation of things of substance; perhaps that explains the popularity of industrial-flavoured interior design over the past year.

Housing Affordability Symposium

Industry, government meet to talk aﬀordability The Canadian Home Builders’ Association of B.C. held a first-ever Housing Affordability Symposium earlier this week. The two-day event, co-presented with B.C. Housing, was held Monday and Tuesday in Vancouver, to address the issue of market housing affordability by bringing government and industry representatives together. Speakers included Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman, who was B.C.’s Minister of Housing Rich Coleman and Social Development prior to a recent cabinet shuffle (he is now B.C.’s Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General), the B.C. Real Estate Association’s chief economist Cameron Muir and Urban Futures Cameron Muir Institute executive director David Baxter.

The purpose of the event is to provide a forum so government and industry representatives can openly discuss barriers and solutions to improve market housing affordability in B.C. – not social or subsidized housing, a CHBA BC release notes.

“Beyond our honoured speakers, the highlight of this event is the professionally facilitated roundtable discussions,” says CHBA BC president and symposium chair Bob Deeks. Issues discussed include community planning, maximizing housing stock, economic issues and regulatory constraints. “The ideas brought forth will be incorporated into the symposium’s Action Plan to

Address Market Housing affordability and can be implemented over the short, mid- or longterm,” says Deeks. That document will be shared with government and industry later this year and will “form the foundation of future discussions between all stakeholders,” the CHBA BC says.

In Loving Memory of MERRIL GORDON Wonderful memories woven in gold These are the memories we tenderly hold Deep in our hearts his memory is kept To love to cherish & never forget.

Love from all the family

IN MEMORIAM GIFTS

passed away on Tuesday, October 12, 2010. He was very much loved by his many friends, particularly by his family, and most especially by his wife, Dianne Clevenger. In his professional life he practiced marriage and family therapy for 24 years. Through his choice to work as a therapist, he encouraged and enriched the lives of many people. In his personal life he was a pillar of strength, courage and decency to all who encountered him. As he retired he enthusiastically took up tennis and sailing, which not only satisfied his uncompromising energy, but allowed for continued contact with friends and family. We will greatly miss his optimism and his beautiful smile. He leaves behind three sons, two daughters and seven grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to The Surrey SPCA or The White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society. A Celebration of Life Memorial will take place at Victory Memorial Park in South Surrey November 10 at 1 to 5 pm.

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Ford’s smallest car is big on content By Jim Robinson Metroland Media Carguide Magazine.

Ford’s smallest car, the 2011 Fiesta, is in many ways its most ambitious. Not only does Ford claim it gets the best highway mileage in the sub-compact segment (4.9L/100 km) but it offers 15 classexclusive technologies including the SYNC human machine interface developed in concert with Microsoft. But what really makes it ambitious is its size. Let’s face it. Whatever people want in the United States affects what we get here. Ford has had small cars before that came and went with the price of fuel. Also, the Europeans and Japanese have decades of building tiny cars whereas American buyers historically looked down on them. The price of fuel, not just in North America, but around the world has changed that. In addition, technology has brought space-age driver aids within the financial reach of almost everyone on the planet. Take the Fiesta. Even the base $12,999 sedan comes standard with Ford’s AdvanceTrac that includes electronic stability control, traction control and anti-lock braking. There are seven standard airbags including one for the driver’s knees. The Fiesta was born about four years ago when the Mazda Demio was premiered at the Geneva Motor Show as the Mazda2. Back then, Ford and Mazda were very close partners and they shared much including the platform for the Mazda2. But time and the fiscal meltdown of two years ago saw Ford and Mazda start going their own ways. Comparisons between the two are inevitable. The Mazda2 has a 1.5-litre engine producing 100 hp and 98 lb/ft of torque routing power to the front through a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. Starting later with the Fiesta, Ford was able increase the engine size to 1.6-litres producing 120 hp and 112 lb/ft of torque and, crucially, the same five-speed manual but with a six-speed automatic. The optional six-speed automatic has a fuel rating of 6.9/5.1L/100 km city/highway. If you opt up for the PowerShift with SFE Package mileage improves to 6.8/4.9/100 km city/ highway for the automatic. Either way the automatic is better than the 7.5/6.0L/100 km for the Mazda. With the five-speed manual, it’s a ying-yang with the Mazda returning 6.8/5.6L/100 km and the Ford, 7.1/5.3L/100 km. The Fiesta SFE (Super Fuel Economy) Package includes underbody shields, lower grille blocker, spare wheel with wheel cap and cruise control along with the automatic trans all designed to lessen drag and improve mileage. While there are only two trim levels for the Mazda2, there

are five with the S, SE and SEL sedans and the SE and SES hatchbacks, the SES being tested here. Regardless of your age, if your life includes an iPhone, Blackberry, Android, you name it; the only Fiesta to consider is the SES. The topline Fiesta SES (as tested) comes with a starting price of $18,899. While it brings you heated seats, premium sound and fancy 16-inch wheels, it also includes Ford’s SYNC, that integrates mobile phones with Microsoft developed onboard voice-activation and entertainment system. It does more than listen to commands; it acts on them. For instance, if you receive a text message, you can ask SYNC to read it to you. You can tell it to call someone on the phone or you can ask the system to play a certain song(s) or “shuffle on” which mixes music in certain genres or al fresco. In addition, information is always displayed on the four-inch LCD monitor in the upper centre of the dash. On top of that, the system will make an emergency 911 call through a cellphone if an airbag(s) goes off. Oh, and the sound quality of the six-speaker premium audio system probably sets the bar for a car priced under twenty grand. I thought SYNC would have been reserved for Lincolns and other high-end Fords; but it makes sense to work it into the Fiesta lineup as mostly younger buyers will already be adept at using new age media. A nifty thing is interior lighting in the front and rear footwells and cupholders that comes in the driver’s choice of seven different colours. But the SES also comes with the optional “Intelligent Access” a push-button start with remote fob. I was hoping this was going to be fad like chrome gills on the front fenders, but push buttons show no sign of fading away. My advice, never let the remote out of your grasp or you’ll never start the car. The engine of the Fiesta is willing and revs freely while benefitting from the latest technology like variable valve timing that not only provides good fuel economy buts makes cold weather starting a whole lot easier. I put many miles on the SES wrangling other cars and meeting incoming journalists at the airport during a 12-vehicle comparison for the Canadian Automotive Jury Best of the Best awards, one of the finalists of which was the Ford Fiesta. For more information on these awards see www.thecanadianautomotivejury.ca. I had the five-speed manual with a positive, spring-loaded shifter that found the right slot every time. When you have hoards of massive transport trucks all around you, being able to concentrate on where you’re going instead of getting hung up on a gear change is a very big thing indeed. Speaking of highway travel, both outside mirrors have a second small wide-angle mirror built in that does wonders for letting the driver see into the blind spot.

With more than 500,00 sold since it was introduced this time last year, the 2011 Ford Fiesta (SES model shown) packs in 15 class-exclusive technologies and up to 4.9L/100 km highway fuel economy.

The hatchback version has a large ﬁfth door with taillights set high for easier recognition.

Steering is quick and precise thanks to the electric power steering on the Fiesta. It comes with “active nibble” control software which helps smooth out wheel vibration especially at higher speeds. The front seats are big and comfy but I would have liked the steering wheel to be a tad further away. The back seat, however, requires those in the front to be careful how far back they slide the seat. For a small car, cargo volume is pretty good with 435 litres (15.5 cu ft) behind the second seat in the hatchback and 363 litres (12.8 cu ft) for luggage in the sedan. If you look under the cargo ﬂoor cover of the hatchbacks there is a hidden storage cubbie for hiding valuable items. Base price for the Fiesta SES as tested was $18,999, and as tested, $20,879 including a $1,350 shipping fee. Ford is on a roll with vehicles like the Edge and Mustang selling as fast as they can be built. With ﬁve different ways to order a Fiesta, not to mention the bevy of standard features and options, Ford’s littlest car is in many ways one of its best.

FORD FIESTA SES 2O11 AT A GLANCE BODY STYLE: Sub-compact hatchback. DRIVE METHOD: front-engine, front-wheel-drive. ENGINE: EcoBoost 1.6-litre DOHC, inline four-cylinder (120 hp, 112 lb/ft).

When we needed to look at our bottom line we utilized the services of Clements Financial Services Ltd. They were able to develop a strategy for our Health and Dental Benefits as well as our Partners Insurance that produced an annual savings of $60,000. They then worked with us to develop a staff awareness program for our benefits that added real value to our firm. They brought real innovation to our plans and let us stay focused on what we do best!
