Thousands spent as attendance noted without mention of student progress

Blank report cards fail to make grade Sheila Reynolds Black Press

The Surrey School District is spending thousands of dollars on postage to mail out mostly blank report cards. While student report cards are usually given to students, who then carry them home, this year – due to ongoing job action by teachers – the documents are being sent via Canada Post. The district estimates postage costs of up to

$40,000 – with envelopes machine-stamped with 59 cents postage and upwards of 70,000 students enrolled – however, this does not include staff time and stationery costs. As part of provincewide job action that began in September, B.C. teachers are refusing to do administrative-type work, which includes distribution of communication from principals. Preparing report cards (except Grade 12 marks required for graduation, post-second-

ary applications and scholarship purposes) and distributing them is included in that job action. Report cards this fall include little information except for attendance, course and teacher names, unless a course happens to be taught by a principal, who will provide a grade and/or comment. According to Surrey School District spokesperson Doug Strachan, the mass mailing is necessary due, in part, to logistics.

At an average elementary school, for example, a principal would have to hand out between 300 and 500 individual report cards, Strachan said. For high schools, the numbers would triple. Strachan noted there is an accompanying letter from the district superintendent enclosed with each report card, and the district doesn’t want students caught in the middle of the labour dispute. � see page A4

White Rock rules frustrate and embolden pooch owner

City dog restrictions ’take bite out of business’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Mike Armstrong has researched far and wide for communities that don’t welcome dogs at key public gathering places. But while he’s found restaurants where people can have their four-legged friends tucked at their feet and clothing stores that offer treats to pooches big and small, he’s located just one place on the map – his own City of

White Rock – that poo-poos the thought of allowing dogs access to its greatest asset. The city prohibits dogs from its promenade and beaches year-round, but allows leashed dogs in an area at the far end of West Beach between Bay and High streets from Sept. 16 to May 14. In parks, dogs are allowed but must be leashed at all times. And the restriction is costing the city business, Armstrong said.

“I just think it’s crazy not to allow them,” he said on a recent visit, with his dog, Scotty, to the parking lot abutting the waterfront. City manager Peggy Clark said this week that efforts to find a dedicated space for offleash dogs in White Rock are continuing. But, it’s not an easy road. “It’s a very challenging situation,” Clark said. “It’s not that we don’t want to.” Allowing dogs on the promenade, however,

is a decision for city council, she said. Armstrong, a White Rock resident for 14 years, said he regularly walks five-year-old Scotty along Marine Drive, but is frustrated that the walks have to be largely on the street’s north sidewalk, out of sight of much of the area’s natural beauty. To walk or run his dog anywhere off-leash, he has to leave the city, he said. � see page A4

immigrants, and the presence of so many people of Indian descent has added a new and vibrant dimension to the city. As Charan Gill, who arrived here in 1972, stated in the section, there were many challenges for the early immigrants. There was a notso-subtle wave of racism and prejudice, and Gill and others did their best to combat it and provide services for the new arrivals. He was instrumental in founding Progressive Intercultural Community Services in 1987 to help deal with the many needs. In the 2006 census, 46 per cent of Surrey residents were considered “visible minority.” When the 2011 results are published, it is almost certain that Surrey will be more than 50 per cent non-Caucasian. Immigrants are coming from all over the world, including the Philippines, China, Korea, many countries in Africa, Mexico, Latin America and other areas. They still face challenges when they arrive, and the community has to work hard to provide needed community services. But they also bring an enthusiasm to reach higher and do better in Surrey, which they consider a city of opportunity. This is a tremendous advantage for this city going forward, and will be one of the greatest strengths Surrey has as it eventually becomes the largest city in B.C.

Dump-truck fatality leads to criminal charge

Widow hopes charge brings forgiveness Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A charge of dangerous driving causing death has been laid in connection with the fatal dump-truck collision that killed South Surrey resident Jim Neiss last January. While police said last week that a criminal charge had yet to be approved in connection with the Jan. 18 crash, according to court records, the accused first appeared in Surrey Provincial Court on the matter Nov. 18. Neiss, 59, died just after 5:30 a.m. Jan. 18, when his Ford Explorer was hit head-on in the 19800-block of 16

Avenue by a Sterling dump truck that had reportedly crossed a double-yellow line to pass a small white car. Neiss – a bus driver with the Langley School District – had been on his way to work at the time. Neiss’s wife, Brenda Michie, said Tuesday she learned of the charge 10 months to the day after her husband’s death. The news is “a relief of sorts, because it’s moving forward, and that’s what you want,” she said. “I know there’s people waiting to hear.” Michie said she plans to follow the court process through, but isn’t ready to forgive the person responsible for her husband’s death.

She recalled an interview she watched with her husband a year ago, of a Palestinian man whose entire family had been killed. “He was on TV and he said, ‘we have to find a way to forgive and I forgive them’,” she said. “It was pretty powerful… We’re brought up to forgive people. I’m certainly not there yet. I figure maybe one day – you’ve got to be able to do that.” For now, “it’s all about getting through each day.” “I try and keep remembering it was what he’d want me to do.” Glen Edward Theriault, 63, is due in court Dec. 12.

Surrey’s elected school trustees claimed nearly $21,000 in expenses last year, on top of combined wages of $207,500. The figures are included in a report of annual remuneration and expenses for elected officials. As with the last few years, Surrey Board of Education chairperson Laurae McNally was the top spender, submitting $7,170 in expenses. Vice-chair Shawn Wilson was second in line with $5,992. Other trustees trailed the pair with Reni Masi claiming $2,814, Ijaz Chatha at $2,119, Laurie Larsen at $1,197, Terry Allen at $1,196 and Pam Glass expensing $436. The expenses, which are mainly for travel for meetings, are on top of salaries paid to the seven trustees. Board members were paid $29,000 for the year, with the chair and vice-chair receiving an additional $3,000 and $1,500, respectively. The report includes salaries of more than 2,000 district employees who earn $75,000 or more annually, for the year ending June 2011. Topping the wage list is Supt. Mike McKay who made $206,038 and filed $35,475 in expenses. The full report can be viewed at www.sd36.bc.ca/general/FinancialReports/

Health officials reject call to scrap pay lots

Hospital parking fees ‘stress’ patients, docs say Jeff Nagel Black Press

Lower Mainland hospitals collect $14 million a year in parking revenues that critics say amount to an unfair user fee that can even harm patient care. The Canadian Medical Association Journal on Monday called for hospital parking fees to be at least waived for patients, if not abolished entirely. “Parking fees are a barrier to health care and add avoidable stress to patients who have enough to deal with,” Dr. Rajendra Kale, the journal’s interim editor-in-chief, wrote in an editorial. “They can and sometimes do interfere with a clinical consultation, reducing the quality of interaction and therefore of care.” Patients who wait weeks for a consultation at a hospital may abruptly end it when they realize they must soon pay for more parking

time, Kale said. “This is parking-centred health care, which is not compatible with patient-centred health care.” Fraser Health spokesman Roy Thorpe said there are no plans to end pay parking. About a third of the money that comes in from parking covers the cost of maintaining and running the lots. The rest – nearly $10 million a year – goes into general revenue for the Lower Mainland health authorities. “If we didn’t get those fees it would have to come out of other health-care revenues,” Thorpe said. The money involved is just two-tenths of one per cent of the combined $5 billion spent annually by the Fraser and Vancouver Coastal health authorities, and by the Provincial Health Services Association and Providence Health Care on services in the region.

Most of the parking revenue is generated by Fraser Health, which includes Surrey Memorial and Peace Arch hospitals and gets $8.4 million a year. Thorpe noted patients who come to hospital repeatedly for services such as chemotherapy are offered reduced rates, or in some cases, vouchers to waive parking fees. Health authorities don’t get the fines that are paid when hospital visitors are ticketed, he said. That money goes to parking lot contractors. But nobody should halt a consultation or other care prematurely over parking, he said, adding any fine resulting from that can be voided. (Fines can be disputed by calling 604-875-5440 in Fraser Health and 604-8754832 in Vancouver Coastal.) Thorpe said rates – ranging from $7.50 an hour (Vancouver General Hospital) to $1 (Chilliwack General) – are based on the

local parking market. Most Fraser Health hospitals charge $3 to $4 for the first hour of parking, and lower rates after that. The rates include a 21 per cent tax that goes to TransLink and 12 per cent HST. Hospital staff get discounts of 40 to 45 per cent. “If we had free parking, I think we’d have a real difficult time with ensuring turnover of parking spaces and limiting the time people stay,” Thorpe said. In Delta and Mission, municipal bylaws prohibit pay parking for hospitals. Asked whether free parking has been a disaster at those sites, Thorpe said no, but noted they are smaller facilities. The CMA Journal argued pay parking is a “surrogate user fee” contrary to the Canada Health Act and could be challenged in court.

Cards a political manoeuvre: STA � from page A1 “We need to make sure it gets home with all the information that accompanies it and explains the situation,” Strachan said. In the letter to parents, Supt. Mike McKay explains the B.C. School Act requires students receive a minimum of three reports per year. “It is for this reason that schools throughout the province are sending home report cards even though the documents are unlikely to include a student’s academic progress,” McKay writes, adding that teachers will continue to communicate student development through things such as individual feedback, assignment marks and tests. Denise Moffatt, president of

the Surrey Teachers’ Association, sees the government’s insistence that blank report cards be issued as a political manoeuvre aimed at drawing negative attention to the job action. “They’re following the letter of the law, but they’re not following the spirit of the law,” she said. As for Surrey’s decision to mail report cards, Moffatt said there are other distribution methods available and the cost is “certainly” a concern. “In the big scheme of things, it’s a very small part of the school district’s budget, but when we’ve been seeing successive cutbacks… every dollar counts,” she said. In neighbouring Delta School District, report cards will not be mailed. Most secondary school

parents will have access to report cards online through a secure website called Parent Connect; at elementary schools and at North Delta Secondary, report cards are to be distributed to students at school next week.

Clark noted neighbours of Maccaud Park, who were polled recently on what they’d like available at that site (Kent Street, between North Bluff Road and Thrift Avenue), did not suggest the addition of an off-leash area. Adding the issue only started to come up after the Semiahmoo First Nation fenced off Semiahmoo Park – which many dog owners had treated as an offleash area for years – Clark said it is not something that will be resolved overnight.

Armstrong decided a year ago to try to change the city’s stance on dogs on the promenade, after White Rock council voted to approve licensing fee increases, more than doubling the rate charged for a spayed or neutered dog, to $25 from $10. He formed DOG (Dog Owners Group) of White Rock, and created a website (www.dogwhiterock.com) encouraging others to get on board the push for responsible access to all public spaces. He ramped up efforts for the cause to coincide with the recent municipal election, handing out flyers at local all-candidates’ meetings and asking candidates where they stand on the matter. He’s hopeful those elected who voiced support during their campaigns – and most did, he said – will now follow through.

There’s value in municipal A-G

remier Christy Clark’s announcement that a municipal auditor-general will be appointed is good news for taxpayers, and it could be helpful to municipalities as well, should they choose to adopt a conciliatory approach. When Clark suggested this new office, many mayors and councillors condemned it, stating that their expenditures were already audited. This is disingenuous. Yes, their books are audited‚ but a year-end audit by an accounting firm is far different from specific performance audits of specific programs. Year-end audits pronounce judgment on general financial management, and rarely single out specific programs. On a few occasions, auditors will include a note about a specific program that raises some questions, but it is not part of their job to follow up. A municipal auditor-general should be able to follow up on some of those types of “flagged” issues, as well as issues that are raised by taxpayers. Some of these may revolve around specific programs, particularly ones where accountability is less than transparent. Last week, the province introduced legislation to create a local government auditor in Surrey, with a $2.6-million annual budget and a dozen staff. Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Ida Chong said it is her goal to have the office up and running by late spring. If municipalities accept the reports and advice from this new municipal auditorgeneral, it could go a long way towards improving their financial management. It will also help them to be more accountable to taxpayers. The new legislation being proposed has one major flaw. It does not give the new officer the power to audit TransLink, which is a separate corporation, albeit largely under the political oversight of Lower Mainland mayors. There were suggestions in the municipal election campaign that TransLink needs to be restructured again. If that does take place, there needs to be provision for either the provincial or municipal auditor-general to have the ability to regularly examine TransLink’s delivery of services to the public.

Obviously, Mayor Dianne Watts has a great team of people working with her and they understand her views. A great woman to vote for. Gisele Battle, Surrey

Money for nothing Editor: Re: Make motorists pay and wait: Surrey BIA report, Nov. 24. I just read the article on the report saying how motorists should pay more money to help out transit. This is just great for people who can’t use transit to get where they are going. We keep hearing ‘get out of your cars and use the bus.’ Well, would someone explain to me why we spent all that money in widening Highway 1? Why did they not put a rapid transit down the centre to join up with SkyTrain? Please, keep your fingers out of my pocket; it is not very deep any more. Terry Sauer, Surrey

province can wheel and deal with other jurisdictions that need energy but don’t have the hydroelectric capability and natural energy storage advantages B.C. has. Energy trading is very lucrative for B.C. and perhaps we should be measuring snowfall and rainfall in kilowatt/hours instead of inches. Charles Davis, White Rock

Take steps to return plaques Editor: Attached are photos of the ceramic stairs in East Beach and four ‘feet’ that I bought at $250 each to be affixed to the stairs. This was back in 2005, and though I could little afford to remember three of my family members in this way, the idea set forth by city members was a wonderful way to enhance the area. About two years ago, when passing the location, I wanted to see these – shall we say – ‘memoriam feet’ of two brothers and a sister who had died; to sit looking out at the bay and remember them. I was horrified as all the feet had been removed. I wrote to Peace Arch News, and shortly after learned from a lady involved in further enhancing the area. She said the feet had been removed to be cleaned,

Letter-writer Ruth Carrier would like to see memorials returned to stairway. and would soon be reattached (De-feeted steps being ‘rejuvenated,’ Feb. 25, 2010). To date, the numerous feet have not been replaced. I have spoken with the same young lady, and learned the city does not have the funds to clean the area and/ or the feet and return them to these steps. One of the reasons being, the memorium feet, for security reasons, should be sunken into the concrete. Presumably too expensive and may never be done. It’s possible that some of the people who purchased these feet had sufficient funds and perhaps no real drain on their pocketbook. But I’m a single pensioner, and it was costly for me.

I loved those brothers and sister and I am most disappointed in the city to let this slide. The feet are not seen as one walks by, only going up or down the stairs would one notice them at the side of the steps. It’s such a shame that the initial idea of beautifying this part of East Beach is falling into disrepair. Perhaps I could have the return of the four feet I purchased. Ruth Carrier, White Rock Editor’s note: According to the White Rock South Surrey Community Foundation, replacement of the feet has been delayed by a need to rejuvenate a partnership with the City of White Rock. The plaques are said to be clean and safely stored.

Nature’s battery gets recharged Editor: Winter has decided to arrive early this year, and the early snow bodes well for skiers and snowboarders and other winter enthusiasts. The Canadian Avalanche Centre even issued its earliest ever special avalanche warning due to the amount of snow already accumulated on B.C. mountains. They say it’s more typical of what B.C. usually sees in late December and January. But the best part is yet to come, because once we’ve had our fill of skiing, snowboarding and cold weather, the accumulated snow on our mountains can be used to generate clean electricity as it melts away. Snow is the ultimate storage medium for green energy. It’s Mother Nature’s battery, and as it melts it flows into the reservoirs behind the province’s hydroelectric dams and through smaller runof-river projects that light up our homes and businesses. Having more snow means we’ll also have more electricity. And having more electricity means the

Harmony, not democracy, lives here Editor: Re: Bob Bose signs off after 28 years, Nov. 24. Now that Bob Bose is gone from office, the City of Surrey has a council made up entirely of friends of the mayor, Dianne Watts. Candidates put forward by the Surrey First slate are not nominated by members of a political party – nothing as messy as democracy here. The mayor just appoints the people she likes. Her political machine, powered with generous

donations from developers, looks after that little formality of getting them elected. No doubt all this creates great harmony at meetings of Surrey city council. But who is going to hold madame mayor’s feet to the fire and see that she does her job of enforcing the bylaws of the city? Her dear friends on the council? Good luck! Her pals in the media? Ditto. It is a disaster for democracy. Bill Piket, White Rock

Series of improvements planned, says Andy James

New manager set to take over flea market Jennifer Lang Black Press

The new manager of Cloverdale’s flea market takes over this Sunday, promising continued operation over the busy Christmas season as he takes hold of the reigns. Andy James says it’s business as usual for the weekly market, echoing earlier assurances by the Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition Association, responsible for the lease at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds. James plans a series of improvements for the Sunday market, starting with a website where, instead of lining up in the middle of the night, vendors can register for craft tables ahead of time and visitors can find information and directions to the market. Bringing in buskers and family entertain-

ment is one of the ways he plans to enhance the Cloverdale Market to widen its appeal. “The plan is to keep things running smoothly, gradually adding attractions and services to enhance the market experience for customers,” James said. “I want this to be a family destination on Sundays, a place to take the kids and spend a few hours and a few bucks.” James said he initially expected to take over operations on Jan. 1, but those plans changed when the original operator decided to bow out a month early. Worse, signs were posted – and newspaper ads published – saying the flea market was closing forever on Nov. 27 after 34 years. “That information is false,” Cloverdale Rodeo Association general manger Dave

Melenchuk said, adding the market vendors “got the rug pulled out from under them.” The confusion created anxiety among customers and vendors alike. “It’s unfortunate,” James said. “It hurts the vendors. They just want to carry on business.” The market runs from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays year round, closing only for the last two weekends of the year for Christmas and New Year’s. Despite the transition to a new manager, the market will be open Dec. 4, 11 and 18, take a brief hiatus over the holidays, and will reopen in January. James’ connection to the Cloverdale market reaches back to the 1990s, when he sold antiques as a vendor for three or four sum-

mers before opening an antique and collectible store on New Westminster’s antique row on Front Street. His father had an antique store in Gastown, “so I’ve been doing this all my life,” he said, adding his experience as a flea market vendor in Cloverdale is going a long way to allay fears about the market’s future. “There is a real sense of family and community within the market,” he said, adding he’s already had a chance to meet with almost all of the vendors. “We’ve emphasized that it’s business as usual.” Despite the confusion over the market’s future, their mood is “very positive”, he said. People are ready for a revamp and are looking forward to the changes, he said.

Buses added on busy routes TransLink will boost rush-hour bus service on selected routes starting Monday. Passengers from Cloverdale and Langley should see more buses on the #320 Surrey Central/Langley and #502 Surrey Central/Aldergrove routes.

The decision to increase the gas tax two cents a litre next April 1 is being credited with allowing TransLink to add extra service now, rather than waiting until next spring, on these and other routes. Visit www.translink.ca for more details.

Couple seeks hit-run driver A White Rock man whose wife was struck in a marked crosswalk Nov. 12 is appealing to anyone who may have information on the driver – and to the driver herself – to come forward. Wendy Busby was crossing Johnston Road in the crosswalk just south of North Bluff Road when she was struck by a lightcoloured northbound car just after 1:30 p.m. The impact threw the 48-year-old up onto the car’s hood, then back onto the ground, Busby’s husband, James, said last month. Fortunately, Busby wasn’t seriously hurt, but the elderly female

driver never even checked. She “stopped for a second” then drove off, James Busby said. Unfortunately, his wife was too in shock to get a good description of the vehicle or a licence-plate number, he said. While the Busbys are certain someone must have witnessed the collision – a dark-coloured southbound pickup had stopped for Busby just before she was hit – no one stopped to help or provide information, James Busby said. The incident was reported to ICBC as well as police Nov. 14, however, White Rock RCMP say they have no record of it.

Surrey man says family law act still doesn’t address fathers’ concerns

Law reform falls short: dad Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Family Law Act. “The ministry received feedback from more than 500 organizations and individuals during the consultation process, including a number who were representing men’s groups,” Bond said. Wallace calls the assertion hollow. “This was done without fathers’

input,” he maintains. He fears that with the legislation, it may take decades before dads have any certainty when facing custody or separation disputes. “We want reasonable change and we want fair change.” Wallace urges those wanting to provide input to contact their MLA or email fathersnomore@ gmail.com

When introduced last month, B.C.’s new Family Law Act was touted as putting “children first,” but a Surrey man says it falls short of addressing the needs of all – namely, fathers. Bill Wallace, who began a controversial Surrey-based men’s advocacy group called Fathers No More last year, says that while some of the changes are laudable and the intention appropriate, many flaws of the 33-year-old Family Relations Act are still contained in the new act. “The status quo is maintained,” says Wallace, adding one of the biggest concerns he sees with the current family law system – judges having discretion in settling cases regardless of any testimony or prenuptial agreements – remains.

Top Surrey librarian set to retire at end of year

Contributed photo

Chief librarian Beth Barlow (left) will hand over the reins to deputy chief Melanie Houlden Dec. 30.

Longtime Surrey librarian Beth Barlow is passing the torch. Barlow, chief librarian for Surrey Public Library for the past 11 years, is to retire from the helm Dec. 30 to work on her bucket list, travel – and read. An active member of Semiahmoo Rotary club and winner of the Surrey Board of Trade’s 2011 Surrey Women in Business Award for a Not-for Profit Corporation, the Cloverdale resident has spent nearly 40 years as a librarian. She came to Surrey in January 2001, following a career that took her across all three Prairie provinces. Her years in Surrey, however, “were the most

satisfying and enjoyable of my career,” Barlow said. Barlow said her proudest moment as a librarian came just two months ago, with the grand opening of the City Centre Library, at 10350 University Dr. Other highlights include welcoming the country’s first “green” library – Semiahmoo Library – which opened in South Surrey in September 2003. Barlow has chaired the Surrey/White Rock Community Literacy Planning Table since its 2007 inception; and was recognized this year with a Director’s Award from the Association of B.C. Public Library Directors. She is also a

Paul Harris Fellow. Longtime deputy chief librarian Melanie Houlden is to take over as chief librarian. Houlden, who lives in

New Westminster, has worked for SPL since 1983; as deputy chief for the past decade. Houlden will step into her new role effective

Jan. 1. Competition for the job was “pretty hot,” she said. “It went nationwide. There was some international resumes.”

A Little Store with a Big Heart McBurney Junction

ver since Karla and Reid bought McBurney Junction with their best friend, Nikki Martine, it’s been a labour of love. The store started life as a home accessory store and has evolved – through the vision and passion of its owners – into a destination known for its design inspiration and personal service.

It’s always been about elegance and excellence, so clients come from all over the Greater Vancouver Area to shop for home accessories and quality Canadian furniture, to consult about custom design services, as well as to find the perfect Pandora charm for a friend or family member. Everyone who walks through the door is warmly welcomed so they tend to come back frequently – to the point where the staff seems to know everyone’s name. Nikki and Karla were introduced to Pandora jewellery when the sales

representative came in wearing samples of the line. Although it was a complete departure from their other offerings, they both fell in love with the classical style and design integrity. What started out as a small box of charms they kept under the cash desk has become a major focus. Once Nikki and Karla saw

the response to Pandora they decided it deserved more prominence, so just over two years ago they built a Pandora boutique within the store and committed to carrying the entire line of charms. It’s been one of the best business decisions they made, with sales “going through the roof,” according to Karla. McBurney Junction is located at 20528

More than a pyjama party The mother-son duo behind last year’s Christmas pyjama drive are back and once again turning to the community for donations of the comfy bedtime attire. Rosemary Heights Elementary student Reese Shelley, now in Grade 2, came up with the idea for the drive after hearing about children who do not have the most basic comforts he enjoys – let alone Christmas gifts. Deciding to focus on pyjamas, the seven year old sprung to action with help from his mother, Erin. Erin contacted the Surrey Christmas Bureau, which agreed to include pyjamas in the ham-

pers of food and toys it distributes to low-income families. Last year, the drive surpassed its goal of collecting 50 sets of pyjamas, raising a total of 362 pairs, with additional donations of books, slippers and robes. This year the goal is to collect more than 500 pairs of the cozy clothes. As of last week, the Shelley home had 171 pairs of pyjamas piled up, with many more filling bins at drop-off locations around the Lower Mainland. And although Erin and Reese are the main co-ordinators for the event, they have received help from Reese’s friends at Rosemary

Heights, who have been coined “pyjama ambassadors” and Grade 7 students at Star of the Sea Elementary, who are collecting pyjamas for the drive. People can drop off donations of new pyjamas to bins set up at Star of the Sea Elementary (15024 24 Ave.), Rosemary Heights Elementary (15516 36 Ave.) or any Lower Mainland Browns Socialhouse location before Dec. 5. Local Browns locations are hosting a Pyjama Day event Dec. 4, offering 50 per cent off food when pyjamas are donated. For more info, visit facebook.com/ The.Christmas.Pyjama.Drive

Community policing volunteer Hugh Goldie remembered

‘We’re going to miss him’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A popular South Surrey community policing volunteer is to be remembered Saturday in a service at Victory Memorial Funeral Centre, 14831 28 Ave. “He was wellliked by everybody,” Elsie Vose, District 5 office co-ordinator, said of Hugh Goldie. “We’re going Hugh Goldie to miss him.” Goldie, who remembered had been active with the community policing station since October 1999, died of heart failure Nov. 20. He was 82. In his 12 years at the station, Goldie logged nearly 3,500 hours helping run a variety of programs and services.

Contributed photo

Hugh Goldie in 1951.

He arrived in the community from North Vancouver in 1994, eight years after retiring as vicepresident of corporate planning for BC Electric (now BC Hydro). A key player in many hydro projects, his family says one of the most visible in Greater Vancouver is the microwave tower facility on

Burnaby Mountain. In the ’50s, he was also part of early development work on the transistor, they said. “Some of the things he discovered became very important,” said Darrel Mawhinney, Goldie’s brother-in-law. Goldie also served in the air force, and was a founding member of the Kiwanis Club of Evergreen in North Vancouver. Mawhinney described Goldie as “always happy and smiling and very knowledgeable” – someone who became the “go-to guy” wherever he went. He also had a great respect for the law. “He was really involved, spent lots of hours helping out,” Vose said. “He loved coming in.” Goldie is survived by his wife of 58 years, Doe, his son David, three grandsons and his sister, Janet Darke. Saturday’s service is at 10 a.m.

Sail past to light up bay Saturday A holiday tradition on the waters of Semiahmoo Bay – the International Yacht Club of B.C.’s Christmas Light Parade – is returning this weekend to once again light up the night. Club spokesman Bob Bezubiak confirmed Wednesday that par-

ticipating boats will muster off of White Rock pier between 4 and 5 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3. They’ll flip the switch en masse at 5 p.m. Noting the forecast is for a clear night, Bezubiak predicted the display will be especially spectacular this year. Good weather will

likely also increase the number of boaters who join in, he said. Participants will make a couple of single-file passes of the pier. For those coming down to the waterfront for the display, the best viewing is from pier’s end. - Tracy Holmes

Is reading small print becoming more of a challenge? Don’t panic. It could be a common age associated eye condition called Presbyopia. Presbyopia is the gradual loss of your eyes’ ability to focus actively on nearby objects. It’s a natural, often annoying part of aging that usually becomes noticeable in your early to mid-40s and continues to worsen until around age 65. You may become aware of presbyopia when you start holding books and newspapers at arm’s length to be able to read them. If you’re nearsighted, you might temporarily manage presbyopia by reading without your glasses. If this sounds like what you are experiencing give us a call. At Crystal Vision and Hearing Centre we can quickly assess your vision needs and with our on-site lab, have your glasses ready to go in about an hour!

Call today for a free sight test or book an appointment for a medical eye exam. It’s just that simple – you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner!

Province close to striking deal for RCMP contract Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C. now appears close to inking a new 20-year policing contract with the RCMP. Negotiations in Ottawa ended last week with an apparent tentative agreement that could keep the Mounties as the police force for most B.C. cities. Solicitor General Shirley Bond stressed no final decisions have been made, describing it as a large, complicated contract and noting some of her counterparts in other provinces may not yet be briefed. “We’ve certainly made progress,” she said Monday. “Each individual jurisdiction needs to deal with the information that’s been provided.” File photo Bond wouldn’t call it a tentative The popular RCMP Musical Ride performs in Surrey in February agreement and when asked why 2010.

Former Newfoundland premier Brian Peckford (left) and B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins speak to reporters in Victoria Monday.

B.C. Conservative leader calls law-enforcement body ‘outdated’

Report finds flaws in RCMP force Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – With the B.C. government poised to sign a new 20-year agreement for RCMP services, B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins says there needs to be an independent review of a force he calls “inept and outdated.” That characterization comes from a report from former Newfoundland premier Brian Peckford, now a B.C. Conservative member living in Qualicum Beach. Peckford undertook the project as a volunteer, speaking with experts and reviewing the history of policing in B.C. Peckford found it “disturbing” that no B.C. auditor general has done a value-formoney audit of RCMP services in the province where one third of Mounties work. He also referred to an inquiry conducted by for former B.C. attorney general and judge Wally Oppal for the NDP government in 1994, which called for “fundamental changes” to make the force more responsive to the needs of B.C. communities. Peckford, who once expanded the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary to replace the RCMP in the St. John’s region, said the past 20 years have changed the landscape of Canadian policing dramatically. Since 9/11 and the rise of terrorism, national and

international security duties have put far more pressure on the RCMP, he said. “To still be able to concentrate on how I’m going to police Kitimat or Fort Nelson or Tofino, at the same time as I need to deal with sophisticated things on a national and international level, seems to be stretching it a little bit,” Peckford said. B.C. Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond said Tuesday that provincial negotiators are making progress to meet Wednesday’s deadline for an agreement to extend RCMP services to B.C. communities. Bond has been stressing the need for more accountability for costs borne by municipalities, through a contract management committee. The new contract would also likely contain an opt-out clause. Cummins said if his party forms a new B.C. government, he will order an independent review of the service and consider returning to the B.C. provincial policing model. He praised the service and dedication of members of the RCMP, but said their structure is out of step with modern times. There are 150 communities in B.C. served by the RCMP, and along with the provincial government, B.C. taxpayers contribute more than $780 million a year to the costs.

The White Rock-based virtuoso guitarist will present a Christmas soundtrack as chilled as a dry martini this Sunday (Dec. 4) at 7 p.m. at Blue Frog Studios, 1328 Johnston Rd.

Towle and his band members “Steve’s great – we packed the place Pete Davyduck (bass) and Calum that time, but it’s been a long time Rees (drums) will draw most of the since we’ve been able able to get back material from his 2009 together,” Towle said. ❝It’s definitely seasonal album, High The concert will also Spirits – Classic Songs Of not the traditional feature a dash of dance, Christmas for Contemcourtesy of flamenco Christmas porary Guitar. dance artist Jill TunAlso on the bill will be arrangements.❞ bridge, who has also colDoug Towle new age finger style guilaborated several times, tarist Steve Laszcz (who memorably, with Towle. shared a memorable concert with “We did some festivals in the Towle years ago at the old White summer, and she asked me to do Rock Playhouse). her Flamenco del Mar festival in

September,” he said. “It provides a whole different dimension to our work. I’ve got this plan to incorporate a live band witha big-time dance element, and this is a little bit of a preview of that.” Towle said he’s looking forward to working in the Blue Frog concert ambience. “It’s nice – it’ll be a great room for it,” he said. His take on the Christmas repertoire is quite different from the

norm, he added. “It’s definitely not the traditional Christmas arrangements, but it’s still very cool,” he said. “Stylistically there are definitely some latin elements to it, of course – that’s what I do. I wouldn’t really call it jazz, but it’s definitely smooth and cool.” There’ll also be a some material from his upcoming album (due in the spring), the 12-song Guitar Stories. � see page A36

sight lines

Beauty and the Beast is a show that works – albeit on different levels – for both the youngest and most sophisticated audience members. The script is bright and witty – with enough topicality to provoke genuine laughs – and Balser has a knack of choosing upbeat musical numbers, whether decades old or fairly current, that make for a consistent and entertaining score rather than the customary cobbled-together effort. It’s notable too, because the comedy – from all players – is nuanced, and played with an understanding of character and timing, rather than being lobbed at the audience like so many

tennis balls. But the real heart of this show is that it retains the fable – and the moral – of Beauty and the Beast, and much of the special charm of the piece can be traced to the chemistry of the two young players who own the stage as the title leads. Kaitlyn Yott, as spirited, independent village girl Belle, is a perky, vivacious bundle of energy who seems born to play musical comedy – an excellent singer and dancer and a strong, self-aware actor who makes the most of every line and reaction. Sean Donnelly, as the Beast, who imprisons Belle in his castle only to find himself falling in love with

her, matches Yott well on every point. A trained classical singer, he demonstrates he is more than capable in handling contemporary pop material. As an actor, he ably brings out all the pathos under the surface of the ill-tempered ‘beast’ and manages everything else – including romantic scenes, dancing and even the occasional comedy line, with a confidence and aplomb that would be impressive in a far more seasoned player. The supporting cast is uniformly good. Newcombe scores as a vigourous dame, doing well by some good lines and business as Belle’s ‘look-alike’ sister Smelle; � see page A35

Festive evening of music Arts Reporter

The White Rock Children’s Choir, directed by founder Sarona Mynhardt, celebrates its 15th anniversary this Sunday (Dec. 4) with a Christmas concert at 6:30 p.m. at White Rock Baptist Church, 1657 140 St. Joining the choir for the concert, The Angel Child and the Trumpeter, will be the popular locally based instrumental quintet, A Touch Of Brass. “We’re very excited to have them join our choirs for this performance – it’s going to be a wonder-

ful evening,” Mynhardt said. She added the program will blend traditional favourites, such as O Christmas Tree and Ding Dong Merrily On High, popular songs, such as Let It Snow and Silver Bells, and more contemporary choral works, such as Winter Song, as recorded by Sarah Bareilles. For the WRCC organization the year was highlighted by the choirs’ tour of England this summer to participate in choral festivals, Mynhardt said. “We had a wonderful trip to Canterbury, Oxford and London,

� from page A31 Paul Rowell is funny as Belle’s would-be suitor Antoine, nailing the archetypal egotistical jerk down to the last mannerism; while Adam Olgui is Broadway chutzpah personified as Antoine’s sycophantic stooge Pepe, his knock-`em-dead singing and dancing in their highlight number, You’re The Top, almost making up for a seriously underwritten role. Barrie Mills has an agreeably droll touch that makes him endearing as Belle’s somewhat dotty dad Claude; grey-bearded Adrian Duncan is effective as a lachrymose Town Crier – and even more so in a surprisingly agile turn as a ‘rapper’ in the ensemble version of the Black-Eyed Peas’ Let’s Get It Started. Cheery Samantha Andrews and mobile-featured comedic villainess Rosemary Forst play well as the representatives of good and evil, Fairy Goody Two Shoes and Fairy Bossy Boots, their first-class singing talents coming to the fore in a splendid duet, What Is This Feeling (lifted from the musical Wicked). As Bossy Boots’ side-kick, Sneaker, accomplished clown Jeff Christiansen is consistently entertaining with his slick, trademark blend of goofy, nerdy characterization and magic tricks. In the show’s only ‘tights’ role, Tammy Theis, as the Beast’s major-domo Pierre, plays with a nicelyjudged comedic sense and timing; chorus member Clive Ramroop makes a positive contribution with physical comedy and eccentric dancing; young Elizabeth Olsson has a fine moment as a little girl who understands the Beast’s inner torment, while Megan Kroeger and Rebecca Peterson perform valiantly – and expressively – as panto horse Dobbin. The rocking pit band, led by keyboardist Timothy Tucker, is well-nigh professional in caliber, while Carol Seitz provides her customary icing on the cake with choreography enthusiastically danced by a chorus that excels

Enjoying busy year � from page A31 Towle, who won international recognition as a finalist in Guitar Player magazine’s Superstar 2009 contest, said he’s getting a lot more gigs these days, even as a sideman for others’ projects. “It’s definitely opened a few doors for me,” he said. That included a recent gig at the Canadian Consul General’s residence in Beverly Hills, he added. Towle noted that while he has established a strong latin musical persona from his days fronting nuevoflamenco group De La Terra, people have tended to forget a versatility that comes from years cutting his teeth in rock and blues bands. Even so, the latin feel

– particularly applied to Christmas – is also proving a bonanza for him, including recent successful dates at Christmas trade fairs in Regina and Ottawa. It helps that Towle, a past master in creating guitar loops on the fly and improvising melodies to them, works equally well as a solo act. “There’s been a lot of travelling this year, a lot of time spent in airports. Just my guitar and my ‘loop’ studio – that’s how I travel. “It’s awesome, that thing. No matter what happens, I can always do the gig. The rest of the band can get stuck in a snowstorm and I’ll still be there to do the gig.” Tickets ($20) are available from Tapestry Music or at www. dougtowle.com

TREE TREASURES HOME SWEET TREE HOME Autumn is quickly turning into winter and we are spending more and more time in the shelter of our homes; but what about animals, what do they do? Trees are a natural spot for many creatures to make their homes in. Trees provide a cozy shelter, nutritious food and a safe space to hide from predators – an ideal habitat. Branches low and high provide areas for birds of all kinds to build their nests. Small holes, or cavities, found in trees can become a den for Douglas’ squirrels or a spot for Black-capped Chickadees to build their cupshaped nests. Large cavities can be homes for Barred Owls or a den for racoons. Believe it or not, a Douglas-fir tree loses about one-third of its needles each year. While many of these needles make it to the ground, many fall on to lower branches. As these needles pile up over time they become thick mats where tiny plants, insects, and fungi live without ever needing to interact with the ground far below! The next time you walk by a tree, take a look, what can you see?

EMS recovers from tourney error to place third

Mariners reboot after score gaffe Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

Gord Goble photo

Earl Marriott’s Matt Chicoine fights off a McNair Secondary player during last week’s provincial tournament. The Mariners lost to McNair, 3-1, but won two more after that, eventually finishing third.

epresenting their school at provincial championships for the first time since the 1970s, there wasn’t much that could dampen the spirits of Earl Marriott’s senior boys soccer team last week. But a scorekeeping error nearly did it. After finishing 2-1 in roundrobin play, with a 3-1 loss to McNair Secondary and wins over Mount Baker, 7-2, and Dover Bay, 2-0, the Mariners thought they had done enough to finish first in their pool, thus ensuring they’d be playing for a medal in the playoff rounds, as the top team from each of the tourney’s four pools play for a podium spot. However, during their game against Dover Bay, it was discovered that a scorekeeping glitch had them with one less goal than they’d actually scored – a fact that was made more painful when the Mariners had a potential third goal disallowed in the last 10 minutes against Dover Bay, due to a close offside call. “That was very upsetting for the boys – they were all sure it was in,” said EMS coach Nathalie LaRoche. Even with the win, they were still one goal shy of North Vancouver’s Argyle Pipers for first in the pool. “I’ve never seen so many long faces,” said LaRoche. “I had to go in and pep them up, and tell them they still had fifth place to play for.” Soon after her pep talk, however, the scoring mistake was caught, and LaRoche was summoned to an emergency meeting, where it was determined that, since Marriott and Argyle had tied, first place would be determined by penalty kicks – immediately. “I had to rush back and tell the team – the energy just turned around 100 per cent. It was like a brand-new team,” LaRoche

explained. The penalty kicks went the Mariners’ way, led by goalkeeper Cam Frost; the winning effort was also aided by Argyle’s first shooter, who rang his shot off the post. “That was a very emotional moment for the team – and for the parents and coaches, too,” LaRoche said. In the Mariners’ first playoff game – with the winner advancing to the title tilt – they drew the always tough St. George’s Saints. And though the Saints won 2-1 and advanced to finals where they eventually lost to the Enver Creek Cougars, the team’s head coach paid a big compliment to the South Surrey squad. “He said we were the biggest threat to his team in the whole tournament,” LaRoche said. The loss bumped Marriott to the bronze-medal match, where they defeated South Burnaby 1-0; captain Sean Einarsson scored the game’s lone goal. “Third place was such a huge achievement for these boys,” LaRoche said. “They were an (underdog) team at the start of the year, but they just kept getting better and better as the season went along. “They’re so proud of themselves and what they’ve done.” After the tournament, Einarsson was awarded the Golden Boot award after leading the tournament with seven goals, along with three others who shared the honour. Frost was also named the tournament’s top goalkeeper, and Luis Zavala was the Mariners’ winner of the Commissioner’s Trophy, which is handed out to one “unsung hero” from each team, as selected by that team’s coach. “Luis doesn’t get a lot of attention because he plays defence, but he played outstanding all season, and made a huge difference for us,” LaRoche said.

Sharks beat Capilano in finals

Bayside repeats at U16 champs Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Peninsula sides set for B.C. volleyball battle The Peninsula is well-represented at both boys and girls volleyball provincials this weekend. Beginning today (Thursday) at 2011 B.C. Girls AAAA Volleyball championships in Vancouver, both the Elgin Park Orcas and Earl Marriott Mariners will compete for a provincial title. Meanwhile, at B.C. boys AAA provincials in Kelowna, the Earl Marriott Mariners, Elgin Park Orcas and defending champion Semiahmoo Totems – who beat EMS in the 2010 finals – will all be vying for a championship banner. Both tournaments wrap up Saturday, with the girls title game set for 4:30 p.m. at Handsworth Secondary, and the boys’ final set for 7:45 pm. at the University of B.C.-Kelowna campus.

I quit my job to look after my elderly father, and have found the undertaking really difcult as he gets older and requires more and more care. He wants to give me a gift of $50,000 in recognition of my help over the last eight years. He has made his own will giving everything equally to me and my two sisters. I’ve heard that there is something wrong with making a large gift to me. Is this true?

BEST PRICE | BEST QUALITY | BEST SERVICE

SUPER SPECIAL!

Not exactly, but courts have come to regard gifts by elderly persons to care-givers with some suspicion because the elderly are often weaker, dependant, and vulnerable. The law presumes that such a gift is an advancement on your inheritance unless there is substantial evidence to the contrary. Ask your father to go see a lawyer and get independent advice about the gift. If the lawyer determines that your father has the mental capacity to understand his moral obligations to all his children, and is also convinced that you have not taken advantage of your father’s vulnerability, he may advise your father to sign documents that declare your father’s intention that the gift to you is to be in addition to your inheritance.

For the second year in a row, the Bayside Sharks U16 boys are champions of B.C.’s rugby scene. The Sharks, who won a provincial title as U15s last fall, capped their second straight winning season with a 15-12 win over Capilano in the provincial championship game Sunday at South Surrey Athletic Park. Bayside got off to what head coach Andy Blackburn called “a dream start,” as the home team jumped out to a first-half lead thanks to a pair of early tries – the first from flanker, and eventual man-of-the-match, Liam Wilson, and the second from scrumhalf Gavin Rowell – and the Sharks controlled the play for most of the game’s early stages. “Capilano did not see the ball for the opening 10 minutes,” Blackburn said. Rowell extended Bayside’s lead to 15-0 soon after, with a penalty kick. As the clock on the first half ticked down, Capilano began to find its game, as its bigger forwards tried to wear down the smaller Sharks’ forwards. The North Vancouver side scored its first try before halftime, and got another with 10 minutes left in the game to make it 15-12. As Capilano pushed for the go-ahead try

in the game’s waning moments, Bayside players held them at bay, “making tackle upon tackle to the point of exhaustion,” according to Blackburn. After the game, Blackburn heaped praise upon a handful of key players, including Andrew O’Connor, Gordon Dobson and Carson Burgin, who Blackburn said “were immense in their containment of the speedy Capilano backs.” He also credited captain Christian Haldane, lock Drew Coles and Wilson for leading the Sharks to the win. With another B.C. title under their belts, the U16 crew is now preparing for a trip to Las Vegas in February, where they’ll compete in a three-day tournament against top U.S. competition. The U16 boys team was not the only Bayside junior team to have success this fall. Though there is no playoff format at the U13/14 level, the Sharks boys team dominated their sevena-side league for much of the season, while two other teams, the U15 boys and U18 girls, both play for provincial titles this weekend, as is the Sharks’ U19 boys team, which is set to battle for a B.C. Tier 2 title. Bayside’s U17 boys team finished second overall, losing the title game last week.

OBITUARIES ASHES SCATTERED BY AIR Reply to yellowtree@shaw.ca subject line, ‘scattered’ BURTON, Edward H.

July 12, 1914 - Nov. 16, 2011

Retired from BC Hydro Ed also served as a Pilot Officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force. He was a great dad, husband and uncle. He was a craftsman and a character, known for his quick wit. A private family service will be held at a future date and his ashes laid to rest beside his wife Gertrude on the island of Kauai where their two daughters reside. A special thank you to the professional caring staff at Westminster House.

Suddenly at Beacon Heights Retirement Residence, at the age of 92. Beloved wife of the late John Dawson Dines, daughter of Zepherine and Arthur Thibault. Survived by brother Roland Thibault of Berlin, New Hampshire, and sister Yvonne Scott of Victoria B.C., predeceased by sisters Clara and Emma, and brothers Alfred, Aristide, Emile, Henry, Joe, and Paul. Loving mother of John Dines (Norah Mooney), Nola Carman (Murray Carman), Elaine Dines (Jim Buss), David Dines, and pre-deceased by her youngest son Brian Dines. Very proud Grandmother to Anissa Boosamra (Len Elphick), Paula Boosamra, Leanne Larwill, and Andrew O’Reilly (Megan Raaflaub O’Reilly). Great-grandmother to Joshua and Curtis Colley, Dawson Larwill, Nolan and Nathan O’Reilly. Remembered lovingly and will be missed by many nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends. Mom was dedicated in all the roles she was given in life, and worked tirelessly to see them through to their fullest potential. She believed in, and loved her God, and has earned her reward in heaven. She will be forever missed. The family would like to send a very special thanks to the dedicated staff both past and present from the Beacon Heights Retirement Residence, the Elmsmere Retirement Residence, all the home care staff, and all the countless volunteers who filled her last years with caring and love. The family will receive condolences at the Beechwood National Memorial Centre of Beechwood Cemetery, 280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa. On Dec. 9/2011 at 10:00 a.m., to be immediately followed by a memorial service in celebration of Annette’s life at Beechwood Cemetery’s Sacred Space at 11:00 a.m. In memory of Annette E. Dines, donations to the Alzheimer’s Society will be greatly appreciated by the family.

It is with great sadness to announce the passing of a wonderful husband, dad & grandpa. Gord leaves behind Carel, his wife of 45 years, daughter Lori (Allister Hutchinson), son Gary (Sandra), grandchildren Noah and Madison, brother Charlie, many nieces and nephews and a vast network of friends amassed through a lifetime of “living”. His big smile, sense of humour and kindness touched many people. A celebration of his life will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, December 3, at Gracepoint Community Church, 3487 King George Blvd., Surrey, B.C. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation “In Memory” to the Alzheimer Society of BC, www.alzheimerbc.org, 604-681-6530.
