4,000 homes estimated to have multiple suites, according to poll
19,000 known secondary suites in Surrey Kevin Diakiw Black Press
It is estimated about 4,000 homes in Surrey contain multiple secondary suites, according to a recent poll conducted by Ipsos-Reid. Don Luymes, the city’s manager of community planning, said in the survey of 1,400 residents, three per cent admitted they have multiple secondary suites in their houses. Given the number of homes
in Surrey – about 130,000 – that puts the multiple suites estimate at about 4,000. The figure represents a thorny issue for council as it tries to develop a strategy for regulating secondary suites that will increase the amount of affordable housing while respecting the integrity of single-family-home neighbourhoods. Multiple suites are not allowed in
Surrey. The city’s planned housing strategy allows one suite per home, while shutting down homes with more than one suite. But critics say the city has done nothing to shut multiple suites down, or even keep an exact tally on how many there are. Many residents are concerned about a lack of enforcement that has allowed so many new homes with multiple suites to be built in
the first place. Elected officials say they want them eliminated, but don’t want to leave tenants homeless as a result. Luymes pointed out there is no policy developed yet regarding what would happen with the people dwelling in those units. One possibility discussed among staff is to create special zoning for multiple suites. However, that would be an
onerous process as the homes are spread out across the city. The other option considered by city staff is to allow people inhabiting the suites extra time to move out. The one-suite-per-home policy would eventually create more dwellings where people could relocate. Luymes expects there will also be some way to augment enforce� see page 4

t’s a persistent rumour, but one with origins shrouded in the mists of time. Nobody seems to know, now, where the idea that the former Great Northern Railway – succeeded by BNSF – had a 99-year lease on the White Rock and South Surrey foreshore, on which the tracks were built in 1906-1909, came from. “It’s a question that comes up regularly,” said Hugh Ellenwood, community historian and archivist with the White Rock Museum and Archives. “We don’t really know why.” The fact appears indisputable that an early subsidiary of the Great Northern received a Crown grant of 150 acres from the border to Mud Bay in June 1907. And city officials confirm any current leasing of land along the tracks is being done by the city from BNSF, not vice versa. Ellenwood agreed one likely reason for the confusion is that any mention of a railway lease might suggest to the public that the railway is the one leasing the land. Local historian Vin Coyne, former editor of the Semiahmoo Sun (later the White Rock Sun),

In 1915, six years after the Great Northern line was completed along the waterfront, White Rock station was integral to the developing community. suggested the rumour has been kept alive by “people who would like to see the railway removed from White Rock.” But Coyne has no doubt about the land’s ownership. “The railway owns the property outright. There have always been rumours the land was leased from the government, but no one’s ever been able to present any proof of an existing lease,” he said. City manager Peggy Clark, noting the lease with BNSF was last renegotiated in 2002, said it is taken for granted the railway owns the land.

First in series on the Peninsula’s relationship with its rail route The current lease – which Clark said renews automatically every five years unless one of the parties objects – extends to 2023 and covers the beach parking lots, the promenade and part of the museum site. The only major change in land coverage when the latest terms were negotiated was that the lands on White Rock’s “hump” reverted to the railway, Clark added. Much more significant to the city was that the parking lot lands, which had been leased

for a nominal $200 per year, were reassessed by a property management company retained by BNSF to maximize revenue flow from its land assets. That resulted in an increase to $300,000 annually, city treasurer Sandra Kurylo said, noting the amount might have been higher had the city not agreed to provide some upgrades the railway was seeking, including railings between the museum and the track. The current annual lease is $350,000, or 20 per cent of
revenues from the land, whichever is higher, Kurylo said. The notion of the railway having a 99-year lease on the land is a long-standing one. Ellenwood’s mother, Lorraine, in her book, Years Of Promise: White Rock 1858-1958, reprints an item from the Sun’s Jan. 5, 1956 edition, in which writer Ann Hanley states: “Do you know that the G.N. has a 99-year lease on the foreshore for railway purposes...?” Hanley continues: “Whenever I hear of a large grant of timber or land being given to a foreign � see page 4

It clearly has no money for any addition to SkyTrain, and the study didn’t even consider the old interurban line as an option. Unless TransLink gets a major and ongoing infusion of funds from the federal and provincial governments, it will be fortunate to simply maintain service levels. Meanwhile, Surrey keeps growing and the roads get more congested. There is clearly a desire on the part of many to use transit, but the service being offered is far from adequate for a city of 400,000. Surrey’s MLAs, who have the most clout in trying to rectify this inequity, are very quiet on this issue. The Liberal MLAs even defend the idea of a toll on the Port Mann Bridge, as if Surrey drivers aren’t punished enough by paying more in gas taxes (because they must use their cars) to help pay for buses in other areas. The transit system in Surrey is so inadequate for the needs of the city that it is ignored by most residents. Those who have no choice keep using it, of course. University students take advantage of their passes, if they can. Those heading to SkyTrain with access to a direct bus use it. And others keep paying for it, and are being asked to pay far more, even though no improvements are likely. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for the Peace Arch News.

Winter fleet increased in attempt to avert repeat of 2008 complaints
City of Surrey braces for a harsh winter Kevin Diakiw Black Press
The City of Surrey will stress test its snow-clearing abilities this year, as forecasters are calling for an extremely harsh winter. Surrey re-examined its snowremoval capacity two years ago after the region was socked in for weeks under heavy snowfall. Public reaction was so intense, the city phone line was unable to handle the volume of calls.
Since then, Surrey has increased its winter fleet by 33 per cent to a total of 44 pieces of snow-clearing equipment. The city also now has 66 drivers, allowing 26 pieces of equipment to work around the clock. Surrey also boosted its salt storage to 21,000 tonnes – 4,000 more than was needed two years ago. The effectiveness of these measures may be tested this year, as weather forecasters are anticipat-
ing a winter similar to that of two years ago. NorthWest Weathernet Inc., the Seattle company that Surrey hires for long-term forecasts, says the potential for arctic outbreaks is higher than expected for the second half of November. It also predicts the Lower Mainland will see some “surprise” snow events – including at sea level when precipitation gets particularly heavy.
There will be at least “two major arctic outbreaks with severe cold. Potentially three,” NorthWest Weathernet says. “The first is most likely in December, with a second more severe one in January. March events are also a high threat too.” Gerry McKinnon, Surrey’s manager of operations, believes the city will be able to maintain the levels of service provided in past years. That means 1,400 lane kilometres
of arterial roads, major collectors, bus routes and steep grades will be cleared first. The second priority will be 950 lane kilometres of secondary roads in residential areas and access roads to long-term facilities. All other local roads will be served last. Surrey will provide a list of private contractors on its website for residents who need their driveways and cul-de-sacs plowed.
Breathalyzer experiment
We test our limits Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
It’s been just over a month since stiffer penalties for impaired driving took effect across B.C. As debate continues to swirl around whether changes will make a difference on the roads, more people are questioning just how safe they are behind the wheel after a drink or two. For Const. Stephane Vinois, the answer to the question is as simple as it’s always been: “You have one drink and you’re no longer sober.” Vinois is a traffic cop with the Surrey RCMP, trained as a drug-recognition expert and a breath-tech analyst. Last week, interested in seeing just what it takes to hit that .05 (50 milligrams per 100 millilitres) blood-alcohol reading – at which point police can now immediately impose a three-day driving suspension and vehicle impoundment for a first-time offence – Peace Arch News staffers Melissa Smalley, Shayda John and Lance Peverley bellied up to belt a few back at Surrey headquarters. It wasn’t your typical after-work drink scenario. The setting, a small, windowless room in the RCMP detachment’s basement – a few steps from the cells where impaired drivers are invited to await their fate – was bare but for a table and a few chairs. The vodka in the drinks was carefully measured, the volume undisclosed and the bevvies delivered by a server with a sidearm. Other differences between the afternoon of research and a more socially geared gettogether included the fact none of the three would be getting behind the wheel at the end of the experiment. With designated rides home assured for all, an overnight stay at ‘Club Fed’ was also off the table. Vinois, with 4½ years of policing under his belt, including two in traffic services, confidently predicted each in the group – regardless of age, gender and alcoholconsumption habits – would blow over the .08 legal limit, as defined by the Criminal Code, after their third drink – no matter how impaired they appeared. While provincial legislation and scientific research notes video-online] impairment starts at .05, Vinois said that www.peacearchnews.com in reality, “it starts the moment you take a sip of alcohol.” John, 20, soon proved the constable right. “You’re a fail,” Vinois told the slight sales rep mere seconds after she blew into a roadside screening device. It was administered a few minutes after John enjoyed the last sip of her second drink and

mulled the logic of her high-heeled shoe choice for this endeavour. “I’m not even going to give you a third,” Vinois said (though he later did). Smalley – editor of Black Press’ Indulge magazine – just a few days shy of her 28th birthday and admittedly “a little tipsy, definitely,” blew “a strong warn” after the same amount of alcohol, later disclosed to be four ounces. Peverley, 45, was simply a “warn”, according to the device – news that surprised him. “I feel like I’ve had three drinks,” the PAN editor said, upping the number to four a short while later. “…I wouldn’t drive and I’d be very careful what I said around friends and co-workers.” Those who do drive impaired typically don’t start their night out with that plan in mind, Vinois said. The biggest myth of people who drink is, they think they’re sober, he noted. Pulled over with the same levels they showed last week, Smalley, Peverley and John would all have paid a high price for the choice to get behind the wheel. Where a “warn”, prior to the new regulations, used to warrant a 24-hour
suspension and vehicle impoundment, it now results in a three-day driving ban and impoundment, a $200 administrative penalty and a $250 fee to have a driver’s licence reinstated – and that’s for a first offence. A second “warn” within five years carries a seven-day suspension and penalties totalling $550. A third means the vehicle is impounded for 30 days, along with $650 in penalties, a mandatory responsible-driver program and an alcohol-sensing ignition interlock for a year. Officers can impose an immediate 90-day driving ban on motorists who fail a roadside test. The penalty includes a $500 fine and 30-day vehicle impoundment. On the Datamaster breathalyzer – a much larger machine than the roadside device, and one that shows the minimum level of alcohol in an accused’s system – John was the only one of the three who blew soundly over the legal blood-alcohol limit of 80 mg per 100 ml, with a reading of 100. “She’s eligible for a criminal offence,” Vinois said. Smalley registered 70 mg/100 ml after her third drink (total alcohol consumption of five ounces); Peverley, after six ounces,
blew 50 mg/100 ml – a reading Vinois said would likely be higher if Peverley was tested again a short time later. According to statistics released yesterday (Thursday), police across the province issued more than 1,400 penalties for impaired driving between Sept. 20 and Oct. 10. Of 1,239 vehicles impounded, the majority of those drivers failed a .08 roadside breath test. Statistics specific to Surrey were not available. While the results of the Peace Arch News’ experiment aren’t anything the public can take to the bank – or court – the experiment was useful nonetheless, Vinois said. “Out of all the times I’ve done this, the answer’s always the same. Once you sit down and start analyzing how this actually affects me, you have a greater appreciation. “Drinking’s a very personal thing and we have to all understand how we relate to it.” The penalties and police enforcement of them is not about stopping people from having a good time, Vinois said, describing alcohol consumption as a “completely acceptable” means of celebration. He noted the process of investigating an impaired driver is geared to give as much leeway to the accused as possible, but it’s imperative those who do drink understand the activity does make them unsafe on the road, and likely long before they realize it. “Once you have a marked departure from the norm, you are impaired,” he said. “You can’t endanger other people.”

Owners of 14,400 suites pay fees � from page 1 ment, although he couldn’t say how. Asked if that would mean more bylaw officers, he said that would have to be a decision made by council. He also acknowledged not every community wants to allow even one suite per home. Luymes pointed out the city already has a system in place where residents can “downzone” if they want to opt out of the one-suite-per-home policy. Similar downzonings took place in St. Helen’s Park, where a large portion of the North Surrey community wanted to keep houses at a smaller size. What a downzoning process would look like would also be up to council. The city knows of 19,000 single secondary suites in Surrey, yet councillors and staff acknowledge there are likely many more than that. Of those suites, 14,400 pay Surrey a $700 annual utility fee to cover the cost of extra services, such as water, sewer and garbage collection. Of the 19,000 suites, just 1,800 are in areas legally zoned for secondary accommodation. Suites are more likely to be found in Fleetwood/ Newton (28 per cent), and Guildford and Whalley (20 per cent), while much fewer are found in South Surrey (14 per cent) and Cloverdale (12 per cent). How suites will be regulated will be the subject of discussion in focus groups in subsequent weeks. Luymes said a report to council could come as soon as fall, but he wants to have an iron-clad plan prepared before asking councillors to vote on it.

It’s time to scrap AirCare
T
ime is money and both are short, so here’s a quick way to raise cash to fund the Evergreen Line and the North Fraser Perimeter Road: Scrap AirCare. AirCare was a good idea for its time, but the 18-year-old program for reducing vehicle emissions is starting to show its age. An AirCare review committee found that only half of all cars on the road in the Lower Mainland are subject to AirCare and, of the vehicles tested, 88 per cent pass. Although 5,000 cars a month still fail the test, it’s only a matter of time before they hit the junk heap and are replaced with newer, cleaner-running vehicles. So why not take away that $45-per-car levy for AirCare and replace it with a $45-per-car levy that will go directly into transportation funding? Drivers are used to paying the price so they won’t miss the money. Besides, transportation improvements will help reduce emissions by getting more people out of single-occupancy vehicles and on to public transit, and by reducing the amount of idling traffic. This idea is not without hurdles. For one, AirCare would have to be dismantled and that would mean a loss of jobs and a significant transition period. There isn’t, as yet, a mechanism in place to collect the levy for TransLink, either through ICBC or some other agency, and the province would have to act quickly to get one running as the funding source is needed by the end of this year. As well, AirCare only generates $20 million a year and TransLink needs between $39 million and $68 million depending on the package of transportation improvements it chooses. Many more people would have to pay the vehicle levy than currently pay AirCare and they would have to pay it more often – probably annually instead of every other year. But the smaller their car, the lower their fee would be, as TransLink is already considering a sliding scale depending on the size of the vehicle engine. For the most part, AirCare has worked and the region has seen a decline in auto emissions since the program was introduced in 1992. But it’s an inconvenience and a tax for those with older cars who maintain their vehicles and pass the test year in and year out. Leave property taxes alone and eliminate AirCare so vehicle levies can be used to get more cars off the road

Then finally, the ascent of the first man who, regardless of any depth of faith, must have felt a miracle had occurred. I watched, mesmerized by the turning spokes of the wheel that carried the winch cable, a heartbeat missed every time it stopped or slowed. For me it was chilling, and gratifying. For those who accomplished the rescue, and for those being rescued, I’m sure no words can describe the joy that must have flowed as they slipped forth from the earth that had held them captive so long. The miracle though, was not so much that they were brought out – we have, as they say, ‘the technology’ – it was the fact that they were found in the first place. Chilean mines, and this one in particular, are not only old, ill-designed and unsafe, they are not properly mapped or detailed. It was only by sheer luck that, after sinking a number of exploratory shafts, the rescuers chanced upon the chamber in which the 33 had sought refuge. That tiny shaft, and the fact all of the men had survived the initial collapse and the life-altering ordeal they endured were the true miracle. Getting them out was simply a matter, awe-inspiring as it was, of drilling a hole big enough to extract them. The rescue, unlike all those previously mentioned events, was flawless and the true heroes in this stunning achievement were those who accomplished the task. To them, whose names and faces will regrettably be forgotten, the history books of the world are forever indebted. Mark Rushton writes for the Abbotsford News.

Our families deserve it Editor: Re: City’s share doesn’t add up, Oct. 13 letters. I am writing in response to Wayne Baldwin’s letter, as I believe more information is required in order to better understand the community schools partnership initiative. To start with, the partnership isn’t just a program for low-income neighbourhoods; it’s a program that supports children, youth and families of all socio-economic backgrounds. In fact, the community schools structure is valued by many other municipalities and is operating in 61 districts across the province. Through this partnership, we hope to create schools that are safe, caring centres of learning and development, not just during class hours but in the evenings, during weekends and on holidays. In essence, our schools will provide strategic and targeted resources and services before, during and after school to better support children and families in White Rock. The Ministry of Education is also committed to the development of neighbourhood learning centres and recognizes the success of the Surrey community schools partnership. In addition, community leaders from all sectors of society acknowledge the importance of building healthy, resilient, sustainable learning communities. The potential long-term savings of providing programs and services to young children here was recognized by White Rock’s council and school trustee. We believe this partnership is forward-thinking and provides us with an opportunity to enhance the social infrastructure of our community and focus on bringing about long-term, sustainable change to living conditions of families in White Rock. And although the social issues faced in our schools may not be as staggering as other schools in the district, this does that not mean our children are any less significant or deserving of our support! Coun. Doug McLean, White Rock ■ There is a saying – an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I believe former city manager Wayne Baldwin’s perspective and patterns for disapproval with selected numbers about White Rock council are misguided. I’m pleased to see that, finally, decades of research and expensive lessons with children and generations are being taken seriously by my city council. Thanks for commitment to kids with our Surrey school board’s community schools. Recent media articles explain the early development indicators, and how support for vulnerable children in all areas will prevent increased costs for policing, health and much more as years progress. I support these overdue prevention measures that will have significant impact in the years to come. Pat Petrala, White Rock

White Rock is a small city in an area of Canada that is growing rapidly and inexorably and, as such, must respond to a complex of changes that are going to come to us, whether or not we want them. In many ways, we would all like White Rock to stay as it is – or at least to keep what we love and fix the bits we don’t. Unfortunately, we all have different ideas about what bits we like and which we’d change. There are many who approach this problem negatively, only telling us what is not going to happen. This is at best a rear-guard action and does not represent a way forward. This could be a much longer letter, and I hope a forum of positive discussion may come from it. Suffice it to say I am happy to have Ferguson leading us, and hope she will have the fortitude to run again and that our citizens will see her as our best hope for the future. We need her energy, commitment, intelligence and sheer hard work to help guide us into what is certainly a future different from today. Geoff Giffin, White Rock

Letter-writer Mira Stojanovic demonstrates a portion of her fitness routine after-hours at White Rock Elementary.
A fine forum to keep fit for free Editor: I call myself an athlete. I use various playground equipment such as vertical poles, monkey bars, climbing walls etc. to exercise, instead of paying big bucks to go to a fitness centre. I try to go every day to stay fit at various playgrounds in the South Surrey/White Rock area and have my favourite playgrounds to go to. There have been some issues with others frowning upon my activities, especially the vertical-pole fitness. I have had parents and other adults tell me what I’m doing is not appropriate, and even had one women threaten to call police if I didn’t leave the park. Maybe they’re jealous? I don’t know… it’s their problem. Others give me positive feedback, ask questions, and express interest in what I’m doing. Vertical-pole fitness evolved, I’m guessing, from the stripping industry and has become more and more mainstream and a popular way to get fit. In fact, a
very well-recognized vertical-pole fitness champion is lobbying to have it recognized as an Olympic sport. Unfortunately, I cannot set up a vertical pole where I live because space is an issue. Otherwise, I would practise this sport at home. I like the playground because they have equipment other than the vertical poles that I also use for my exercise routines. And it’s free! I usually go early in the morning or after supper time and not when there are a lot of children playing. I really do not see what the problem is, if there is really such a problem with what I’m doing. I am clothed and not removing any clothes. I am not behaving sexually or stripper-like in any way whatsoever. I wish people would be more open-minded and not be so judgmental. I will keep exercising at the playgrounds till someone drags me off kicking and screaming. LOL! Mira Stojanovic, Surrey

CITY NEWS NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF REVITALIZATION PROGRAM
TREES FOR TOMORROW
Notice is hereby given that Council of the City of White Rock will consider adoption of Revitalization Program (Tax Exemption) Bylaw No. 1915 at the October 25, 2010 meeting of Council.
On October 23, members of First United Church and the Grade One class from Peace Arch Elementary will plant 15 trees at the northwest corner of Centennial Park as part of the Trees for Tomorrow program. This Provincial initiative is designed to plant trees in schoolyards, hospital grounds, civic parks, campuses, parking lots and other public spaces throughout British Columbia. The Trees for Tomorrow program is part of the Province’s strategy to reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by at least 33 per cent below current levels by 2020. If you would like to volunteer and be part of this project please call the Environmental Coordinator at 604.541.2192.
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 of improvements to buildings and structures in these areas. Eligible projects for the revitalization (tax exemption) program include: 1. Renovations, alterations or additions to an existing improvement where the construction value is at least $100,000 or greater (the land value is not exempt), and is applicable in the Town Centre, Lower Town Centre, and Waterfront Business areas (East and West Beach); 2. Construction of a new improvement where the construction value is at least $1,000,000 or greater (the land value is not exempt) where: (a) The construction value relates to Class 6 Business assessments, specifically for retail, office or hotel accommodation uses in the Town Centre and Lower Town Centre Areas; or (b) The construction value relates to hotel accommodation uses in the Waterfront Business Areas (East and West Beach); or (c) The construction value relates to Multi-Unit Residential Uses in the Town Centre, Lower Town Centre and Waterfront Business Areas on sites previously used as gas bars or automotive service stations requiring site mitigation in accordance with Provincial Contaminated Sites legislation; and (d) Previously approved projects already completely or partially constructed prior to adoption of the Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw, as determined by the City, are not eligible. The basis for a revitalization tax exemption for alteration or expansion of existing improvements as outlined in one (1) above are as follows (the percentage is based on the increased assessed value of the improvement): i) Year 1 – exemption of 100% ii) Year 2 – exemption of 60% iii) Year 3 – exemption of 20% The basis for a revitalization tax exemption for new construction as outlined in two (2) above is as follows (the percentage is based on the increased assessed value of the improvement): i) Year 1 – exemption of 100% ii) Year 2 – exemption of 80%
EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT FORUM As part of White Rock Council’s ongoing commitment to early childhood development, on October 29 the City will participate in an invitation only early childhood development forum specifically for industry professionals. This interactive educational forum features a presentation by Joanne Schroeder, with the Human Early Learning Partnership at UBC, about Early Development Indicator Data, followed by group activities and roundtable discussions. The White Rock Early Childhood Development Forum is a result of community partnerships between the City of White Rock, the Fraser Health Authority, the Surrey Board of Education, SOURCES, Alexandra Neighbourhood House, and the United Way. This forum is just one way that Council is moving forward in ensuring the health and wellbeing of the youngest members of our community. Enhancing the social infrastructure of our community will bring about long-term, sustainable change to White Rock, enabling children to grow up into healthy, resilient adults, capable of success!
iii) Year 3 – exemption of 60% iv) Year 4 – exemption of 40% v) Year 5 – exemption of 20% A copy of the proposed bylaw along with associated report and map may be inspected in the City Clerk’s Office at White Rock City Hall, 15322 Buena Vista Avenue, White Rock, BC, from September 28, 2010 to Monday, October 25, 2010, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding weekends and statutory holidays.

‘Unconventional’ zoning of property questioned Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
An “out-of-character” fourstorey home under construction between Marine and Sunset Drives has White Rock councillors calling for changes to the city’s subdivision bylaw. “There was some schmoozing somewhere along the line,” Coun. Al Campbell said, describing the development as “completely inappropriate for the area.” “This mustn’t happen again.” Following a Sept. 13 request from Campbell, director of development services Paul Stanton presented a report on how the subdivision came to be, at 14370 Sunset Dr. and 14373 Marine Dr., to the city’s Land Use and Planning Committee Monday. Campbell had expressed concern as to why the development – which has two homes squeezed onto awkwardshaped lots that have easements across each other’s property – had passed muster. He reiterated those concerns Monday. “It’s probably the most unconventional thing I’ve ever heard of,” he told the committee, noting the height of one home – where slope enabled it to qualify for an additional 4.45m above the zone’s maximum allowable height of 7.7m – “very, very dramatically” affects residents in a number of surrounding homes. “Why was it granted?” In researching, Stanton traced the subdivision’s history back to 1923, when the original properties were created by subdivision. They were redivided in 1972 with an adjustment that increased the eastern-most property’s size and created an irregularly shaped north-south lot line. Following a preliminary layout approval that was granted in 2003, the larger lot was further

A new house on 14373 Marine Dr. was permitted a variance to build higher than previously allowed, impacting surrounding homes. subdivided in 2006, and the developer granted access and use easements that allowed different physical and legal access to the property. “It’s a little out-of-character,” Stanton told committee members. In his report, Stanton notes the subdivision appears to have been approved according to the policies and requirements of the day. But he questions whether they were suited to the configuration of the land. Paper files that may answer more questions on how the process progressed are likely in “the spider room,” Stanton notes, referring to storage. Stanton told council members that if a similar proposal came to him now, he would have concerns with both the configuration and access, as it is rare to approve a subdivision that calls for an easement across another private property. While Campbell said after the meeting that the development “flies in the face of all our subdivision bylaws,” Stanton told Peace Arch News he can’t see anything “underhanded” about it. He pointed to a clause in the bylaw that gives the approving
officer discretion to approve or refuse such requests based on their concerns or lack thereof. “But that’s very subjective,” Stanton said, noting the bylaw is overdue for a complete revision. City laws should not be subjective, Campbell told Peace Arch News Thursday. “We have a rule about the requirements for a single-lot subdivision. There shouldn’t be any angles, there shouldn’t be any schmoozing and if you don’t qualify, you don’t qualify,” he said. “I don’t want the bylaw interpreted. I want it followed.” Campbell declined to identify the homeowner involved – one lot is registered to a holding company – but noted the development is not the first time a staffer’s discretionary decision has resulted in concern. Following approval of another “very high-profile” building on the waterfront, “all hell broke loose,” Campbell said. He also declined to identify that building. Committee members voted unanimously to ask city staff for suggestions on how to prevent similar anomalies in future subdivisions. Attempts to reach the property owners were unsuccessful.

In New Orleans we toured through some of the devastated areas hit by Hurricane Katrina. There is still lots of work to do. The challenge is not only to rebuild but to get the people to come back. Many of the relocated residents have

Staff Reporter
en Stones knew when he returned from a dental outreach trip to the Philippines last March that he had to go back, had to do more to help save the smiles of the children there. “Three-and four-year-olds – their teeth were just decayed off of the gum line,” the retired dentist said. “We really want to do as much prevention as we can.” Next month, Stones and a team of fellow dentists and dental assistants will head to Siquijor Island to do just that. With plans to perform cleanings and tooth extractions, they’re taking the equivalent of three dental offices with them and expect to treat upwards of 500 children. They’ll also do what they can to educate the citizens – children, parents and even teachers – on what the root of the decay is and
steps they can take to prevent it, such as brushing their teeth. Having been on more than a dozen such trips since 1994, Stones can easily point to the problem: sugar. In Third World countries, sugar is cheap and accessible, whether in the form of soft drinks or lollipops, he said. Add to that the lack of education on its connection to
Making a difference
tooth decay, and toothless smiles result. “They really don’t seem to get the connection,” Stones said. “Kids go to bed with lollipops. By the time they’re teenagers, most of their front teeth are shot.” Peninsula professionals joining Stones next month are dentists Les Ennis, Murray Bohn, Grant Rawston and Bob Symonds, along with dental assistants
Dentists are needed to help fill a need at a free clinic operating out of Peace Arch Hospital’s Weatherby Pavilion. The clinic, established for those who can’t afford dentistry, opened a year ago. Semiahmoo Rotary Club gave $12,000 to get it going; Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation provided a grant for supplies. Services are offered every Friday, and on two Mondays per month. Clients are seen by referral, including from Sources’ food bank.
Shelley Flemming and Johanne McDonald. Another 14 people, including a hygienist from Saskatoon and Stones’ brother, have also signed on to help. The Semiahmoo Dental Outreach team will be working at a clinic set up in an elementary school near the village of San Juan. In addition to hundreds of children, they expect to see and treat adults. For the majority, it will be their
The need for the service is clear, said Ken Stones, who volunteers at the clinic. Since opening, nearly 200 people have been seen, most receiving “pretty basic dental care”; a waiting list numbers around 60. “Some of them need lots of treatment, some of them not so much,” said Stones. “A fair number” of the clients are children.” About eight dentists volunteer at the clinic on a regular basis. Stones said with more, it could operate on additional days and the load shared by current dentists lightened. Dentists interested in getting involved may reach Stones at 604-535-8500.
first time seeing a dentist, Stones noted. Education efforts are to include liaising with the island’s public health officer, as well as simply explaining to the citizens why things like putting their babies to bed with a bottle of juice is a bad idea – as Stones told a mother of four in March. The woman’s three older children already had no teeth and she was about to wean her fourth child, he said. And while Stones believes the woman got the message, he plans to check in next month to see if it really did sink in. “I’ll knock on her door,” he said. Dental expenses for the coming trip – the team leaves Nov. 21 – are already taken care of, with the help of $3,500 donated by the Semiahmoo Rotary Club. Donations to help purchase school supplies are welcome. Stones may be reached at 604-5358500 or kenstones@telus.net

Bringing tragedy to light A charitable organization that promotes the well being of people with albinism will host its first annual Fundraiser Gala and Information Evening this weekend in South Surrey. Since being founded in 2008, Under the Same Sun has garnered international media attention for its efforts to end the slaughter of people with albinism in East Africa.

This Saturday’s sold-out gala – Oct. 23 at Morgan Creek Golf Course – will include a keynote speech by the organization’s founder and president, Peter Ash, a Langley resident. Also featured will be UTSS Tanzania’s executive director of media and international affairs Vicky Ntetema, the former BBC bureau chief for Tanzania and the recently announced recipient for the International Women’s Media Foundation’s Courage in Journalism Award.

Ed Schellenberg would likely still be alive today if the justice system did not take an “anything-but-jail” approach to dealing with criminals, his brother-in-law told a crowd attending a town hall meeting Tuesday evening in Abbotsford.

Craig said judges in the past were “nononsense,” but in the last 30 years they have shied away from tough sentences. “That’s what they’re there for, and if they can’t cut it, they shouldn’t be there. They should go do civil cases,” he said. Craig said “rampant plea bargaining”

11th Anniversary
‘No one in charge’ of justice system � from page 18 Canada, while the provincial government is the administrator. “When you add that all up, what you have is two masters …. We have put no one in charge of our criminaljustice system,” he said. Rich said the system is “falling down under its own weight,” resulting in unbearably long delays in cases getting to court and reaching a conclusion. Even a simple impaired charge takes an average of two days in court, he said. When penalties are doled out, they are not enough of a deterrent to prevent future crimes, Rich said. He cited the example of a marijuana grow-op able to produce an annual gross income of between $500,000 and $1 million in an average-sized house. A first-time offender arrested for such an operation would face a fine of between $1,500 and $2,000, he added. He addressed Abbotsford’s gang issues and the challenge in trying to lure kids away from a lifestyle often portrayed as a “viable career option.” Rich specifically referred to the Abbotsford Police’s latest challenge – the Duhre group, which he said now control drugs in Abbotsford, running a network of gangs. Brown said he hopes the town hall meeting – held at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium

– is the start of citizens taking more control of their rights to a free and safe society. He referred people to his Facebook page, “My Search for Justice.” “I desire that the public take ownership and some solutions to this important issue that we can take to the next levels of government,” he said. Several of the more than 100 audience members said they were concerned about a lax justice system. Some were victims of crime themselves, while others sported T-shirts bearing the message “Revolving door makes judges accomplices” on the front and “100 per cent contempt for BC judges” on the back.

Surrey drug trafficking investigation expands Dan Ferguson Black Press
A hunt for drug traffickers by Surrey Mounties has led to arrests in Abbotsford and Vancouver. Four people were arrested at two locations on Oct. 13. In Abbotsford, members of the Surrey RCMP Drug Section seized nine ounces of cocaine and $10,000 in cash from a 36-year-old Vancouver man and a 22-year-old Abbotsford man. At a Vancouver location, Surrey officers seized five kilograms of cocaine and $145,00 in cash from two men, both from Surrey, one 26 years old, the other 43.
The street value of the drugs was estimated to be approximately $400,000. “We have no direct links to organized crime right now,” Insp. Wade Lymburner, the senior investigator of the Surrey RCMP Drug Section told reporters at a Wednesday press briefing. “The amount that we recovered and the cash would lead us to suspect there may be some involvement but we can’t confirm any of that right now.” The four men have been released from custody to appear in court in mid-December, Lymburner said. None has been charged yet.

Annual event to feature carvers along Marine Drive
Pumpkin Fest hits the beach
State of the Art Executive Boardroom
Alex Browne Staff Reporter
White Rock’s annual Pumpkin Festival is back and bigger than ever to provide pre-Halloween family fun all along Marine Drive this Saturday (Oct. 23, noon to 4 p.m.). And the price is right to participate in activities and enjoy entertainers, said Cyndie Richards, executive director of the White Rock BIA, which is sponsoring the event. “Everything we have is free for everybody,” she said. The White Rock BIA-sponsored event will feature six expert pumpkin carvers (including ace sandcastle, wood, ice and justabout-anything-else sculptor Craig Mutch) at three locations – West Beach Bar & Grill, Slainte by the Pier and the Sandpiper Pub. The merchant pumpkin-carving competition is back as part of the festivities, and families can also pick up free pumpkins with a $5 proof of purchase from a Marine Drive merchant for goods purchased on Oct. 23. Entertainment will include live music at two separate West Beach stages, as well as roving musicians, face painters and other entertainers wherever crowds gather. Main stage entertainers will include the trio of Mickey Hovan, Steve Gidora and Jan Sentell, Jonny Rigby and the Kingbees, Token Rhyme and the Glen Pearson Band with guest vocalist Kelly Mitchell, while a second stage by West beach Bar & Grill will feature Jason Buie, Gordy Pearson and Rick Andrews. Also part of the celebration, Richards said, will be horse and

carriage rides on West Beach, plus, on East Beach, three big carnival tents with games and crafts and complimentary pumpkin portraits for children by portrait artist Rebecca Sehn. Richards admitted she has a special interest in the revived festival. “It was a favourite of mine when I was managing a business at the beach,” she said. “Troll’s ( a former Marine Drive venue) started the pumpkin carving years ago, and we built the pumpkin festival around that. We ran it for two years, and then last year, the board of directors decided not to carry on the festival.
“I decided to keep the pumpking carving going and we went to Bill Lawrence at The Sandpiper and West Beach Bar & Grill, and they had it at both places. But a lot of merchants were disappointed the festival wasn’t on, so when I was appointed executive director, I decided to bring it back – bigger and even better.” All of the professionally carved pumpkins will be offered to the public through a silent auction, with all proceeds going to the Sources Food Bank (canned food donations for the bank will also be accepted).

people who can work in a global market. “If we want to build a strong economy and a strong city, we need to educate our children.” Representatives from Kwantlen Polytechnic University and Simon Fraser University were also at the luncheon, pointing to the inadequate number of postsecondary education seats south of the Fraser River. “The business case is so strong for future investment,” said Joanne Curry, executive director of SFU Surrey. About one-third of Surrey residents are under the age of 19 and yet Surrey has the lowest post-secondary education rate of most surrounding municipalities. Arthur Coren, dean of the school of business at Kwantlen, questioned whether businesses might have to search elsewhere for educated employees 10 or 15 years from now. “We need a well-integrated and well-funded education system,” he said. Watkinson encouraged board of trade members to be advocates for education and consider possible roles their business might play within the education system.

to about 35 minutes. He said the average time each patient spends in ER also fell significantly. As with previous amounts pledged for MRIs and elective surgeries, the approval of projects and disbursement of ER grants is to be overseen by the new B.C. Health Services Purchasing Organization. B.C. has earmarked $250 million initially for pay-forperformance funding and that is to climb to 20 per cent of all health care spending by 2012. NDP health critic Adrian Dix said the money is not new, but redirected from other health authority funding so the minister can conduct a “branding exercise.” He said this year’s 1.2 per cent increase in acute-care funding for Fraser Health was far below what Victoria knew would be required and was proof more would be delivered, with much fanfare. “It’s ridiculous,” Dix said. “We have a minister of health who thinks changing pots of money is reform in health care.” Dix said claims of innovation are at odds with the government’s cuts to acute care beds in Fraser Health and its failure to create nurse practitioner-led clinics or rein in spending on generic drugs.

hile this weekend will be the second Great Pumpkin Run Walk in a row for Geoffrey Funke, there has been a significant change in the Peninsula resident since he laced up his runners last fall.

Despite having plenty of experience with long-distance treks under his belt, Funke is approaching this Sunday’s shorter course with enthusiasm. He knows money he raises will support Peace Arch Hospital, where his daughter was born. “The hospital foundation is something that I’ve always focused on because it is our local hospital.” Last year, Funke raised about $400 and clocked a time of 28 minutes. “It felt pretty neat coming up across the finish line and seeing my kids,” the fatherof-two said. Funke had only started running the month before, after visiting his doctor with health concerns the previous spring and

Run Walk and going on to do a 10-km the following month. “The more you do, the more you end up getting hooked on it,” Funke said of running events. So, come January of this year, Funke flew to Phoenix for a half marathon. Shortly thereafter, after working on his
biking and swimming skills, he appeared in spring triathlons in Delta and at UBC. The university event marked one year since Funke had started his fitness regimen. “I was down about 40 pounds at that point in time.” Three weeks later, Funke was in the Oliver Half Iron. Despite struggling in the swimming portion, he excelled on his bike, and made it over the finish line under the seven-hour mark. “I just wanted to finish it,” he said. “Oliver was really overwhelming. It was a pretty cool feeling.” While Funke still has a full Ironman on his radar – his goal is to try for 2012, the year he turns 40 – he is happy with his transformation to date. “I’ll probably, hopefully, not have to struggle with my weight again. This is probably the longest period of time that I’ve kept the weight off.” Not only are his energy levels “through the roof,” Funke said he is happy to set a good example for his kids, who are four and six years old. “It’s good for the kids to see,” he said. “Typically what your kids see you doing is typically what they do as well.” HSBC Securities – where Funke is vice president and branch manager – is a sponsor for this year’s Pumpkin Run Walk, and, along with the HSBC branch in Southpoint Exchange, has a team of about a dozen participating with a goal to raise around $5,000.

September rain devastating for veggie farmers Neil Corbett Black Press
A soggy September has been a catastrophe for many Lower Mainland potato and vegetable producers, who are still trying to salvage their crops. Potatoes sitting in muddy soil go soft, and harvesting equipment gets bogged down in the muck, making it impossible to get the crop out of the ground. Robert Butler, spokesman for the B.C. Potato and Vegetable Grower’s Association, said he grabbed a fresh potato out of the ground recently and easily crushed it with his bare hand. “Without any effort at all, it’s instant mashed potatoes,” he said. He said most vegetables – carrots, beans and peas, and even grain crops – have been hit. Expect a lot of soft pumpkins this Halloween, he warned. Peter Schouten of Heppell’s Potato Corp. has been a farm owner for 17 years in Abbotsford. This is the worst year he has seen. The largest potato producer in Abbotsford, Schouten plants 750

Schouten tried to get the of horsepower. With the recent drycrop out of the ground despite the ing trend, he has been working the highest and driest sections of his soggy soil. “We got so stuck... it was hilari- fields, harvesting what he can. ous,” he said dryly. Schouten said he and other farm-
ers invested millions of dollars literally “into the ground.” And there it rots. “All of that money is gone. There’s no way to get it back. “There are some guys who will go out of business through this,” he said. “It hit Abbotsford really hard.” Opinder Bhatti of Abbotsford planted 110 acres of broccoli. In the wet conditions he lost 78 acres, or 400 tons, representing $275,000 in revenue. He said producers budget for some loss, and can generally absorb 10 or even 20 per cent, “but when we lose more than 50 per cent, it’s an issue.” He said crop insurance doesn’t cover a farmer’s losses, and is slow in coming. Bhatti predicts the effects will be felt in the local economy. He will not be employing as many workers, and the secondary food processing industry will also be hit. The producer associations will ask the provincial and federal government for assistance. “We’re hopeful they will see this as a disaster,” said Schouten.
‘An unmitigated disaster’ says MLA Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen said he will petition the government for relief on behalf of his constituents who lost potato and vegetable crops. The former agriculture minister is reviewing the damage done by September’s rain. Farmers have avenues for relief, he said. Production insurance will cover some losses, if they bought in and paid a premium, while the AgriStability program is an income-stabilization program administered by the province. The program is a joint federal/ provincial venture designed to compensate farmers in the event of natural disasters. Van Dongen believes AgriRecovery is warranted for Fraser Valley producers this fall. “It’s an unmitigated disaster,” said van Dongen. “We’re down to some good farmers, and if we don’t give them some help, they’re not going to make it.”

Metro Vancouver has no shortage of potential business partners who want to build a new organic biofuel plant in Surrey that will turn food waste into energy. Thirteen firms are in the running and they’re to be winnowed down to a short list by the end of the year ahead of a formal request for proposals call. The plant will take 80,000 tonnes of household food waste per year – including kitchen scraps, egg shells, paper towels and pizza boxes – that would be ground up into a slurry and digested to produce vehicle-grade fuel. The resulting natural gas could be used to power local waste and recycling trucks. The plant will be adjacent to the existing Surrey transfer station in northeast Surrey, near 192 Street and 98A Avenue and could be open by late 2012, according to City of Surrey deputy operations manager Rob Costanzo. He’s confident smell won’t be a problem for the plant. “The odour issue is almost nonexistant,” Costanzo said, noting a similar organic biofuel plant in Sweden is located next door to a Burger King restaurant. Prospective bidders are proposing a variety of technologies, including various

Excess organic food waste ends up at Metro Vancouver landfills, but a new organic biofuel plant should help reduce the problem. forms of wet or dry digestion as well as gasification, he said. Any residual material would likely be composted at a different site. Metro already contracts with Fraser Richmond Soil and Fibre in east Richmond to make compost out of part of the region’s organic waste. The organics plant would serve not just Surrey but potentially nearby cities and commercial supermarkets and restaurants. If the Surrey pilot project is a success, more Metro Vancouver biofuel plants could spring up around the region, helping the region meet its aim of eliminating all food waste and other organics from the waste stream and increasing the recycling rate to at least 70 per cent.
A significant amount of garbage going to landfills is organic waste, which festers and creates methane that can escape and add to climate change. Surrey has agreed to sell Metro Vancouver the land for the biofuel plant. But the property first must be rezoned from light industrial to heavy industrial, Costanzo said. He said an open house to inform area residents about the project is also being planned for Saturday, Nov. 6. (Details to be posted at www. surrey.ca.) Surrey and other cities around the region are also moving to collect organic waste from all homes, following the lead of Port Coquitlam, which was the first to implement full organics pickup.

Turnstiles a poor use of cash: report Jeff Nagel Black Press
TransLink should drop its misguided and costly plan to install turnstiles on SkyTrain lines and instead spend the money improving actual transit service. That’s the position of unions representing transit workers that are lobbying for a rethink of the $171-million project, which includes development of a smart card payment system. They’ve tabled a report to TransLink that argues – as TransLink officials themselves did in the past – that adding faregates to the currently open-access SkyTrain stations will cost far more than they’re worth. “The ongoing costs – the operating and maintenance costs – will be higher than anything that could possibly be recouped from fare evasion and will come every year out of the annual budget,” said Andy Ross, president of local 378 of the Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union. TransLink rejected turnstiles in 2005 when it estimated they would cost $32 million a year to finance, staff and maintain, while only pulling in an extra $2.9 million of the money previously lost to fare evasion. A 2008 fare evasion audit estimated 2.5 per cent of all transit users cheat, depriving the open proof-of-payment SkyTrain system of $5.4

Turnstiles in Los Angeles are paired with a new smart-card system, but officials have yet to activate the turnstiles’ locking feature. to $9.3 million a year. TransLink’s board agreed to proceed with the smart card and faregates project after the provincial and federal governments promised $70 million to cover most of the costs of adding gates to stations. Those capital contributions mean TransLink won’t need to borrow to finance the gates, significantly reducing the annual operating costs, according to TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie. He could not say how close turnstiles will come to breaking even now. Ross contends TransLink still has no solid business case and shouldn’t proceed just because Ottawa and Victoria will front the cash. “This is a bad, bad use of public funds – I don’t care which level of government is paying for it. It’s soaking up badly needed transportation dollars.” Hardie said turnstiles will address the false but “very strong” public
perception that fare cheating is much worse than audits show, and ease concerns about crime and safety that deter some people from taking transit. Many passengers board without visibly buying a ticket, but when they’re checked, the vast majority have a valid pass of some sort or paid the fare on an earlier leg of their journey. Turnstiles may make stations harder to navigate, create lines as well as potential difficulties for passengers in wheelchairs or scooters. Ross said a smart card system could still be developed without turnstiles, noting that’s the model Calgary has chosen. Turnstiles for SkyTrain were mandated in 2007 by then-transportation minister Kevin Falcon. TransLink is expected to decide by the end of this year which of three short-listed international firms will build the smart card and gates system, to be in place by 2013.

Three police officers arrested for the 2009 assault of a Surrey newspaper delivery man were briefly reunited this week in a fifth-floor hallway of the Vancouver Provincial Court building.

and Gillan. Tanino said he assumed Klassen was drinking as much as he was, but conceded he wasn’t keeping an exact count. Under cross-examination by defence lawyer Dwight Stewart, Tanino also conceded his memory of what happened doesn’t appear to match video surveillance tapes from inside and outside the Roxy. Klassen testified Wednesday that he drank between nine and 11 beers over the course of roughly eight hours the night he is accused of assaulting Khan. “I drink for pleasure, not to get drunk,” Klassen said. “That was a typical pattern of drinking for me. That night was no different than any other night for me.” Klassen, Tanino, Gillan, Sportsnet reporter Dan Murphy and former WWE wrestler Mike Roselli were bar-hopping for several hours before the incident. Klassen, the use of force instructor at the Justice Institute, said his actions that night were consistent with his training. Klassen denies punching Khan, which is something the newspaper delivery man disputes. “I had my head down on the ground. I was thrown against the wall. I was punched and kicked in the head,” Khan said outside court. “That’s not just like using force, what the police are trained for.” The trial is to resume Friday, with Klassen returning to the stand for cross-examination. The trial is several days behind schedule and if it fails to wrap up in the allotted time, it would likely be some time in the new year before it could resume. - with files from CTV News

Surrey council sets 2012 deadline to reduce emissions
City vows to be carbon neutral Kevin Diakiw Black Press
The City of Surrey will be carbon neutral by 2012, officials vow. On Monday, city council endorsed a 45-page Corporate Emissions Action Plan that outlines how city hall will reduce its Green House Gas (GHG) emissions in the next two years. In 2008, Surrey signed on to the B.C. Climate Action Plan, which signified the city’s intention to significantly cut GHGs by 2012. Being a part of that also signified Surrey would measure and report its emissions and create complete, compact, more energy efficient communities.
Under the agreement, solid waste facilities are not included in the carbon count. Last year, Surrey consumed a total of 417,079 gigajoules of energy and emitted 15,225 tonnes of GHGs. Of those emissions, nine per cent was electricity use, natural gas accounted for 47 per cent and fuel consumed by the city’s fleet was 44 per cent. The total energy expenditure in 2009 was just over $10 million. Some of the steps the city is taking include: • developing policies related to building use, and incorporating alternative energy systems where feasible. • “right sizingâ€? the city’s vehicle fleet
and analyze the cost benefits of alternative fuels. • initiating green purchasing policies and practices • implementing and publicizing green infrastructure pilot projects • commiting to the Climate Change Action Plan The Climate Action Charter is a voluntary agreement between municipalities and the province. Surrey is also eligible for carbon credits from the province, based on how much GHGs are emitted. Based on 2009 levels of carbon emissions, Surrey would receive a $416,200 rebate in 2012.
Q
I have been married for 14 years and I think I have been a very good husband. My wife has fallen in love with a neighbour, had a secret affair with him for over a year, and when I discovered what was going on she moved out of our home. She now says she wants half of all our family assets. How can she claim half? I’m pretty sure I did everything right in our marriage and she’s the one who ended it. Surely she is not entitled to half?
A
Yes she is. Her actions which you don’t like have nothing to do with the division of matrimonial assets. You have lived together as man and wife for 14 years and with only a few exceptions your assets are divided equally between you upon a divorce. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Katherine Bethell offers youthful outlook on Christmas panto
Ready to rock Alex Browne
T
Arts Reporter
here’s a new look coming for White Rock’s Christmas pantomime. This year’s show may be called Robinson Crusoe and it may be derived from a traditional White Rock Players Club script by the late Charlotte Johnson – albeit detoured through the devious mental processes of writing team The Charlottans, also known as Jason Dedrick and club pastpresident Fred Partridge. But if the final result – even in rehearsal – looks more like a tightly choreographed, enthusiastically belted rock musical, ascribe it to the influence, and youthful outlook, of director Katherine Bethell. She and her close-knit creative team, including musical director Maderi Mynhardt (White Rock Children’s Choir, Impromptu Theatre) and choreographer and longtime collaborator Anne-Marie de la Giroday, are fashioning a panto that eschews elaborate settings in favour of small set pieces and lighting and which makes full use of an eager chorus to establish mood and movement, rather than simply filing onstage occasionally for a desultory chorus of some half-forgotten show tune. “They’re in almost every scene – they’re almost like a set

Lest it be said that Bethell is some upstart outsider disposing willy-nilly of White Rock panto traditions, it should be noted that her credentials are impeccable. Although she spent most of the last six years working in professional theatre in Toronto, she was locally raised and was a former acting student of the late Scott Wheeler, director, producer, club president, who, for many, personified White Rock pantomime for years (in a select circle that included such popular panto ‘dames’ as former Players’ guru Franklin Johnson and Marc Bourrel). She cut her teeth in White Rock pantos as a teenager, and after theatre studies at the University of Victoria, returned to the Players Club for a spell in the early

Project marks school’s official status as International Baccalaureat Primary Youth Program
Quilt encourages students to think globally Alex Browne Arts Reporter
An opportunity to encourage Southridge Elementary children to think internationally has blossomed into a stunningly creative fabric quilt now on display at the school’s great hall. ‘We Are All Part Of The World’ is the unifying legend of the centrepiece of the project, spearheaded by kindergarten teacher Jenni Watson with help from art teacher Ali Redies, and assembled with the quilt-making expertise – and numerous volunteer hours this summer – of Southridge mom and Wineberry Fabrics owner Linda Marr. The colourful 135 by 110-inch quilt was designed to mark the school’s official status
Panto with an edge
� from page 33 but because I’m passionate,” she said. Bethell has handpicked a cast of strong talents – and strong singers – including Emma Leigh Hillier as Robinson, Crystal deBruyn as principal girl Lady Pamela, and not one but two dames (Ryan ‘Tiny’ Elliott as Miss Upson Downs and Colin Lane as Ma Peddler). Also prominent are Dave Baron as chief villain Don Juan des Gusting, Shane Brandon as Captain Skullduggery, Hannah Brandon as the Cannibal Queen, Rebecca Peterson as the Fairy and Kyle Stewart as Friday. She also promises the return of panto giraffe Shenanigans and the ever-popular The Wonderful Year We Fell In Love – as well as a few tributes to the Wheeler style of panto. Like Wheeler, she understands the importance of a strong personality overseeing a panto and creating, in turn, a strong personality that distinguishes the show from competing efforts. “I don’t worry too much about what makes people laugh. Everything in the show is something that makes me laugh. In fact, it’s so me that people who know me could see it without knowing the director and know that it’s a Katherine Bethell show.”
as an International Baccalaureat Primary Youth Program (PYP) facility said Watson, who noted that it started at the end of the school year this spring, when children in kindergarten to Grade 4 were asked to create designs illustrating aspects of life that are universal. “Each one had a piece of the quilt that they designed,” Watson said. “It had to be something that had to do with something that all kids could relate to no matter where they were from – something that you could take to Africa, for instance, and they would understand it, and this is what they came up with.” Watson said she was amazed by what Marr has wrought in bringing all the disparate elements together.

“I gave it to Linda and said ‘I have no idea what you’re going to do with all the pieces – go ahead and good luck’,” she laughed. In all, 192 children contributed blocks ranging from four to 10 inches square – which they coloured with pastel dye sticks – to the project. Some were drawings illustrating concepts like peace, love and hope, while the kindergarten students mainly did hand outlines. Students also designed the centrepiece depicting hands from different cultures supporting the globe. Marr enlarged and re-composed the designs and added bits after the fabric was machine quilted by Terri Haines, and the piece also received special stitching from Marr and Wineberry Fabrics employee

Annie Liu-Ho to complete the effect. “I’ve been quilting for 25 years and I’m always sewing,” explained Marr, who added she worked on the project for “conservatively, 100 hours” this summer, between spending time with son Michael, 12, and movie extra work assignments. “It was really fun,” she said. “There was no way of fitting all the blocks in so I thought the best way to handle it was to make little mini quilts and then put them together on a wall. But it was a very large wall.” Inevitably blocks were cut down, some cut in half, while for some only one image or word was used. But the quilt has enjoyed excellent feedback from staff and

This year she also released a book of 40 of her own compositions: Kierah - Original West Coast Fiddle Music, and has also been in the public eye in White Rock as one of the city’s first licensed buskers. The sixth annual CFMA ceremony will be held Sunday, Nov. 20 at the Pantages Theatre, Winnipeg. Visit Raymond’s website at www.irishmadness.com

South Surrey triathlete Jackie Davidson fights through wind, water and heat at Ironman World Championships
Triathlete battles elements on epic day A Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
s soon as she felt the wind, that’s when Jackie Davidson thought about quitting. One-third of the way through the Ironman World Championships last Saturday in Kona, Hawaii, the South Surrey resident had already completed a grueling 3.8-km swim – and swallowed enough water to fill a fish tank – and she knew the bike portion of the race, all 180 km of it, was going to be awfully tough.
Contributed photo
Jackie Davidson battled ferocious winds at Ironman World Championships last weekend.
The howling winds weren’t making things any easier. “I looked over and saw three bikes with race numbers on them sitting on the side of the road, but there were no riders, and then up a bit further I saw a woman get blown right off her bike,” Davidson said. “I really had to stay focused or it would’ve happened to me, too. I mean, there’s not much to me and I was riding a carbon bike… the winds, I can’t really even describe – it’s scary, it really is. “And on top of that, I’d drank a lot of salt water during the swim, so I spent the first 10 kilometres on the bike throwing up.” And though she would’ve liked nothing more at that point than to pack it in and hit the beach, Davidson, who qualified for the prestigious Kona race after a strong showContributed photo ing at Ironman Canada this past summer in Jackie Davidson celebrates after the race.

Davidson finished 39th out of more than “Your first instinct is to stop, but you just have to dig deep and accept what the day 60 in the women’s 45-49 age division, and is throwing at you – you can’t fight it,” she her marathon time – even after a grueling eight previous hours – was enough to qualify said. “Once the wind died down a bit, I gave her for next year’s Boston Marathon. And as much as her internal lectures helped myself a stern talking to. I said, ‘Jackie, you push her onward, Davidsigned up for this, so quit complaining and finish ❝Your first instinct is to stop, but son said she drew most the race.’ So that’s what you just have to dig deep and of her inspiration from her fellow competitors.

Big win for PAU
Serenity found on lava fields
Sunday in Tsawwassen, Peace Arch United’s U16 boys team was faced with a daunting task – beating the top-tiered, undefeated Tsawwassen Blues. PAU prevailed over the first-place team, winning 2-0. The game remained scoreless until the 60-minute mark, when Peace Arch midfielder Connor Davidson finally opened the scoring, and just five minutes later, teammate Marcel Tomkulak doubled the lead, scoring after a goalmouth scramble.

� from page 39 was quick to point out the positives of the Ironman race, too. “It’s the toughest race I’ve ever done, without question, but it was just a fabulous experience,” she said. “When you’re swimming, sure it’s tough – it’s the hardest swim I’ve ever had to do – but it was like you were swimming in an aquarium, with the warm, light blue water. “It was beautiful.” Portions of both the run and the bike course also cover lava fields which, though barren, were quite an experience to travel across, Davidson added. “There’s a certain serenity to being out there on that moonscape all by yourself,” she said. “It was very hot when I started the run, but the sun sets early there and I ended up running about an hour in the dark, where all you can see is the faint glow of glowsticks. It was like heaven.” Assuming she can qualify again next year, Davidson said she’d love to come back – even if a repeat performance was the furthest thing from her mind last weekend. “You meet people there and they ask if this is your first Kona, and all I could think was, ‘What, people do this more than once?’” she laughed. “It’s so tough. I did a lot of praying out there when I was getting blown around in the wind… it’s like my mother always says, ‘There are no atheists in foxholes.’ “But I enjoyed every minute of it – it was absolutely epic. I can’t wait to do it again.”

Football team wins third in row
Midget Titans keep rolling The White RockSouth Surrey Titans midget team won for the third consecutive time last weekend, and this time – for once – it didn’t take a last-second pass or final defensive stand to earn the win. The Titans were on Vancouver Island Sunday, earning a 28-21 victory over the Nanaimo Redmen. Titans’ quarterback Matt Calderwood threw three touchdown passes – to Brandon LeMoignan, Mike Bouchard and Nathan Leader, the latter coming on a 20-yard catch-and-run play in the second half. The team’s other TD came from Stephen Bouchard, who returned a Nanaimo kickoff 90 yards into the end zone. Leader, also the team’s kicker, was as good with his foot as he was with his hands, slotting four converts through the uprights.
Defensively, the Titans were dominant, with sacks from Leader, Stephen Bouchard and Jon Luciuk, who had a pair. The Titans’ last three wins have come against the top three midget teams in the Vancouver Mainland Football League – Nanaimo, Cloverdale and North Delta. Next up for the midget squad is a Sunday game, at South Surrey Athletic Park, against the North Surrey Bears. Kickoff is 1:30 p.m. The midget Titans weren’t the only winners Sunday. In flag division, the Blue Titans edged the Coquitlam Packers 14-11 and the junior bantam Titans shut out the Burnaby Lions 46-0, led by John Smalley, Nathan Brown and Aidan Clancy, all of whom had two touchdowns. - Nick Greenizan

The Pacific Sea Wolves Swim Club hosted nearly 300 Lower Mainland swimmers at South Surrey Indoor Pool last weekend at its annual PSW Fall Invitational, coming away with plenty of medals – more than 50 in total. “Great team results for us,” PSW head coach Brad Dingey said. Kate Caldwell led the way, in the 15-plus division, winning gold medals in all seven of her events – the 50-, 100- and 200-m freestyle, the 100-m butterfly, back and breaststroke, and the 200-m individual medley. She was not PSW’s only multiple-medal winner, however. In fact, far from it. Others to find the podium included Olivvya Chow, who

The White Rock Tritons wrapped up their fall baseball season Saturday at South Surrey Athletic Park, splitting a doubleheader against the visiting North Shore Twins. The Tritons, now being coached by former Junior Tritons bench boss Russ Smithson, won the first of the two-game set 7-5 before losing Game 2 by a 6-4 margin. White Rock was in line for the sweep, leading the second game until the final inning, at which time the Twins came-from-behind to steal the victory. Smithson called the final two games, “a very good day of baseball.

DAMSELL, Joyce Joyce Damsell passed away on Oct. 13th. after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. Joyce was born 1936 in Edinburgh, Scotland. She emigrated to Canada in 1957. Lovingly remembered by husband, Gil, children, Jane, Steve and Keith, their spouses and six grandchildren. A family gathering to honor Joyce will be held later.
Elinor was born in Elm Creek, Manitoba and moved to B.C. in 1942, living in Surrey then White Rock since 1950. She is survived by son Bob (Bernice), daughter Sheila Weaver, 5 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. Elinor will always be remembered for her quick wit, sense of adventure and determination to make every day a good day. She loved to play bridge and travel the world or just “go for a drive” which often included a stop at the beach for a coffee and a walk. She was always eager to hear what her grandchildren and great grandchildren were up to, their stories always perking her up. Thank you to the staff at Peace Portal Lodge and Morgan Heights & Dr. O’Brien for their kind and gentle care and to the ambulance personnel and staff at Peace Arch Hospital who made her comfortable in her final hours. A memorial service will be held at First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo, White Rock on Tuesday October 26th at 2:30 p.m.
