Bright lights, bad process: White Rock mayor weighs in on pier overhaul

‘No more last-minute panic attacks’ Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin takes a swipe at the process that produced new lights and arches for the city’s pier.

Mayor Wayne Baldwin thinks the new lights and arches for White Rock’s famous pier will look wonderful – but he’s no fan of the way the overhaul was carried out. “I cannot think of a more poorly processed project,” Baldwin said Monday (Jan. 23), following receipt of a report explaining why the new lights and arches were not installed by their Dec. 15 deadline. The report by director of engineering and municipal operations Rob Thompson said while the 30 new lamp standards were installed by Dec. 11, “a delivery issue” will postpone installation of the 15 new arches until mid-February. The mayor said in time, taxpayers will look at the completed project “and remark on how wonderful it looks and express their pride in it.” But the way it came to be is another matter, Baldwin said. “It was a project that was conceived in mid2010, was unable to make the 2011 budget cut, but then popped up on a council agenda on Sept. 19 as a major safety concern,” Baldwin said. “Council had to make a decision on the evening of Sept. 19 to fund this project using $390,000 of unbudgeted capital in order to avoid losing $20,000 in federal grant money and fix the alleged safety problems.” Baldwin complained that the “unrealistically tight” schedule meant potential bidders only had 12 days to prepare proposals, the result being that there was only one bidder. The mayor added council was “disrespectfully denied” the opportunity to discuss the matter of replacing the temporary Christmas arches with see page 4

Surrey mayor calls idea ‘an age-old argument that won’t solve problem’

Legalize pot to disarm gangsters: expert Kevin Diakiw Black Press

In the last month, Surrey has seen eight shootings, four of them fatal. Police say it’s been an unfortunate spike in gun violence, but they also note that’s how violent crime presents itself – in peaks and valleys. Overall, police and politicians point out, the number of homicides in 2011 was down. There were 12 killings in the city last year and the overall annual average for the past 10 years has been 13.

news Gurvinder Dhesi insists he was ‘blind courier’ and didn’t know about the drugs in his tractor-trailer

Prison ordered for cocaine smuggler Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

A man who claims he didn’t know about the cocaine discovered in his tractor-trailer truck at the Pacific Highway border crossing has lost his bid to stay out of jail until a court challenge of his conviction has been ruled on. Gurvinder Singh Dhesi was ordered to begin serving his nine-year prison sentence by the B.C. Court of Appeal, which will hear his challenge in April. During his trial in Surrey provincial Court, the 29-year-old Dhesi argued that he was what is known as a “blind courier” – meaning someone else put the drugs in the truck

without his knowledge in July of 2009. There was evidence that someone drilled out a rivet and replaced it with a bolt to allow the truck trailer to be opened without breaking a customs inspection seal that would normally allow the vehicle to cross the border without a second going-over. But when a customs officer noticed the bolt on the truck didn’t look right, he ordered another inspection, during which six brown cardboard boxes packed with cocaine worth about $2.4 million were found inside the trailer. Investigators also uncovered a receipt in the truck for a cordless drill and two drill bits that were bought at a U.S. Walmart a few

days before the smuggling attempt. And, they found a Costco bag with the exact same type of bolt used to replace the rivet. A test carried out for the trial showed that the drill and bolt could be used to remove the rivet, open the trailer without disturbing the seal, then replace the rivet with the bolt to conceal evidence of tampering. In finding Dhesi guilty of one count of importing a controlled substance and one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking, Surrey Provincial Court Judge Reginald Harris said it was “very unlikely” that someone else put the drugs in the trailer. “The only rational conclusion is that the

accused knowingly transported the cocaine into Canada,” he found. Dhesi is appealing his conviction and sentence, saying there was not enough evidence to support his conviction and the trial judge went too far in drawing the conclusions he did. On Jan. 10, a B.C. Court of Appeal justice rejected Dhesi’s application to remain free on bail until his appeal has been decided, saying that the serious nature of the charges require his incarceration. The judge said the appeal should be heard quickly, and took the unusual step of suggesting specific dates were available in April to the lawyers for the Crown and defence.

Property owner given 30 days to clean up South Surrey lot

Brolin remembered

Unfinished house declared ‘a nuisance’

RCMP pilot’s funeral to be held today

Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

A South Surrey home that has remained unfinished for more than two years has been declared a nuisance by the City of Surrey and the owner has been given 30 days to clean things up. On Monday (Jan. 23), Surrey Council voted to send the owner of the house at 14460 32B Ave. a letter giving her 30 days to fill in a gaping hole in the backyard where a partially-finished concrete swimming pool sits gathering water. Rajinder Kaur Sidhu has also been ordered to: remove “all rubbish and debris,” trim the trees and bushes “so as to return the property to a neat and tidy condition,” install “properly engineered retaining structures” around the excavated slope of the property and “fully enclose and secure the partially constructed building on the property.” Sidhu could not be reached for comment. A report by the city solicitor describes how building permits were issued for the house, a retaining wall and a swimming pool in November 2008. By May of 2010, the house remained unfinished and so did the swimming pool. After neighbours complained, city staff contacted the owner by phone, who explained that she was unable to continue with construction because of her “financial situation.” She promised to clean up the site, the report states. When the work remained undone a month later, staff called again and were told that “personal issues” were preventing the clean-up from proceeding. What followed, according to the report, were months of more complaints by neighbours, more demands by the city and occasional efforts by workmen that failed to meet the city requirement of an extensive cleanup. By adopting the city solicitor’s recommendation to have the site declared a nuisance, council has given city staff the power to carry out the required wok at the owner’s expense if it remains undone after 30 days. A visit to the site on Monday (Jan. 23) by the Peace Arch News found construction debris scattered around the back of the unfinished three-storey structure, and water collecting in the bottom of the half-built swimming pool, located in a deep pit in the backyard that did not appear to have any retaining wall to prevent collapse. There were shingles on the roof, and windows installed, but there was no siding; only a whiteplastic moisture barrier that a neighbor said had been recently applied over unprotected and apparently weather-damaged exterior particle board. It was the only unfinished house on the street, which features newer, larger homes.

The City of Surrey has declared this unfinished two-year-old house at 14460 32B Ave. a nuisance property after repeated demands to fix it up were ignored by the owner.

Funeral services for RCMP pilot Dave Brolin will be held in South Surrey today (Thursday, Jan. 26). Members of the public are invited to attend the 1 p.m. memorial at Peace Portal Alliance Church located at 15128 27B Ave, but are advised that seating priority will be given to Brolin’s family, friends, colleagues and those attending in uniform. The 46-year-old Brolin was killed on Jan. 17 when the RCMP helicopter he Dave Brolin was flying pilot crashed in the area of Cultus Lake. Born in California, Brolin grew up and resided in Cloverdale and South Surrey. A pilot with more than 25 years of flying experience, Brolin is survived by his two children, an eight-year-old girl and 11-year-old boy. He joined the RCMP as a civilian member in June 2006. He flew Lower Mainland Traffic Services helicopters Air 1 and Air 2, as well as Air 5, which is used for search and rescue operations and by the Police Dog Service and the Emergency Response Team. Before he joined the RCMP, Brolin was a pilot with the United States Army and with Blackcomb Aviation in Whistler. The veteran pilot was flying Air 5 and had just successfully completed a training exercise with the Emergency Response Team when the crash occurred. The Transportation Safety Board and the BC Coroners Service are investigating the crash. - Dan Ferguson

news “Creating Smiles for Life”

Surrey RCMP photograph the scene of a double shooting in Panorama Ridge last week. Evan Seal photo

No magic solution to problem: Watts from page 1 police will find a good portion of the shootings in the last month have had some drug involvement – either directly or indirectly. Often shootings, even when not linked to selling drugs, are drug-fuelled or motivated by the need for drugs, he added. The fact that people are shooting one other, rather than stabbing, or beating each other (although there was one beating fatality and one severe aggravated assault during the last month) has to do with the availability of firearms, Gordon noted. Part of the traditional drug swap in between U.S. and Canada sees “B.C. Bud” heading south, and guns and cocaine coming north. The arrangement means that many more youth now have guns in their possession than they did before. “Carrying a (firearm) can be a status symbol among some individuals, or groups of individuals,” Gordon said. He said some brave policy changes need to be implemented in order to get guns out of youths’ hands. And for Gordon, that means ending the already lost war on drugs.

editorial

Negotiate in good faith t’s time fairness returns to the provincial government. Collective bargaining is the process by which wages, terms of employment for all members of a bargaining unit are negotiated between the union and an employer. In the case of the B.C. government versus the B.C. Teachers Federation, it appears no real bargaining or negotiating is taking place. Education Minister George Abbott admitted government has uttered the term “net zero” mandate “probably a thousand times” in the last year. How is that bargaining in good faith? Government says it’s not just teachers that are subject to this totalitarian mandate, but all public servants. This, against the backdrop of negotiations between unionized city workers and local governments like White Rock, where workers have been without a contract since the end of 2011. Municipal workers in all cities are seeking deals similar to other CUPE contacts, such as Courtenay’s, where a four-year deal granted workers with wage hikes of 2, 2, 2.75 and 2.25 per cent. During the last round of negotiations, municipal workers in Richmond, for example, achieved a wage increase of 17.5 per cent over five years. Not bad when the following year, the world plunged into recession, which caused many elsewhere to lose their jobs. That said, giving in to the teachers’ wage demands that amount to 16 per cent over three years (according to Abbott) is not only unlikely, it’s irresponsible given the economy’s relative fragile state. But suggesting there is no room to move – and no chance for negotiations – is sending the wrong message to the public and those responsible for much of our children’s learning. Government rhetoric is suggesting to all of us that its mind is made up on such matters and nothing – collective bargaining be damned – can change its mind. As BCTF president Susan Lambert said, “The net-zero mandate will not find a deal.” Settling public sector contracts is never easy, particularly those with teachers, who are now used to being legislated back to work when taking strike action. But a bullheaded government won’t lead to a solution. In the centre of this dispute is our children. What sort of lesson are they learning here? One can hope by the end of this, they’ll learn about negotiating, consensus and good faith.

Do you oppose having a BC Hydro smart meter installed at your home?

yes 77% no 23% 460 responding Outside, Brar seems rather composed, having grown somewhat accustomed to the locals that people in other communities prefer to forget about. He’s been walking the streets daily since he moved here in mid-January. While a visitor might prefer to ignore the sad souls on an East Hastings sidewalk, or not even make eye contact if they say hello or ask for something, Brar responds to each of them – and afterwards explains why. It’s respect. At the core of it, these are people – regardless of how they got to this point in their lives. Poverty, drugs, alcohol, poor health... it doesn’t matter. He’s seen the care that locals have for each other. Without knowing who he is (they almost never do), they’ve been kind to him, and have suggested nearby places to get free food. The meal issue has been a constant struggle, and remains so for the Surrey MLA after I head for home. Brar will continue to live downtown for a few more days, alone, hungry and uncomfortable. He confides to me that if he had to stay there for another two or three months, he’d lose it. He also shares that he abandoned the luxury of visiting his home all month. Kudos for trying to keep it real. Next month, he’ll have another challenge: To convince colleagues back in the legislature that his brush with poverty left a powerful impression, and that the obstacles faced by the poorest of the poor are real. Brar may have been away from work for a month, but it was no vacation. Boaz Joseph is a reporter/photographer for the Surrey Leader.

letters Peace Arch News

Punishing shift is concerning Editor: Today I wrote local Sen. Gerry St. Germain and other senators to request that he and his colleagues sincerely explore the evidence, listen to diverse voices and make thoughtful changes to (Bill C-10) that will make Canada safer, not meaner. I asked that the Senate respect the many professionals and organizations who are profoundly concerned about this bill. For example, consider the list of 10 major problems with the bill, by Trinda L. Ernst, Q.C., president of the Canadian Bar Association (http://www.thestar.com/opinion/ editorialopinion/article/1086785-10-reasons-to-oppose-bill-c-10). Let’s learn from places that have tried this punishment-focused approach to justice, like Texas, and seen it fail completely. Bill C-10 was rushed through the House of Commons without proper attention and public information as to its costs, cumulative consequences and the legitimate concerns of our provinces, First Nations and countless other individuals, future generations, organizations and experts. Should it pass unchanged, it would radically shift Canadian justice away from prevention and rehabilitation, and towards punishment and exclusion, at a massive social and financial cost. The many measures in Bill C-10 will put people in prison who do not belong there, including many suffering from mental illnesses. My confidence that he may listen and act accordingly is with faint hope, as the silence and rubberstamping by my local MP has demonstrated. The Conservatives’ misguided imposition of their will needs to be questioned by other voters. I hope other voters write regularly too, regardless of their affiliation, to ensure the MP knows that he may not be voting in accordance to the majority of constituents. Pat Petrala, White Rock

Prohibiting pot not the answer Editor: Re: Study effects of marijuana, Jan. 10 letters. While I can appreciate Steinberg and Sterle, Jr.’s concerns, it must be remembered that according to DEA Judge Francis L. Young, “Marijuana is the safest therapeutically active substance known to man… safer than many foods we commonly consume.” ( Sept. 6, 1988) Moreover, that research into cannabis had been terminated in 2007 in conjunction with the government’s anti-drug strategy. This occurred in spite of concerns from within the legalization movement, whose proponents have consistently called for open and

unbiased study regarding cannabis. The harms attributed to cannabis are the direct result of legislation which governs it. Prohibition has demonized cannabis and criminalized those who use it since its inception, yet it has failed to demonstrate itself capable of safeguarding either youth, the community or the taxpayer. Prohibition empowers violent gangs while undermining good governance and faith in our political leaders. Stop the Violence BC (http:// stoptheviolencebc.org/), The Vienna Declaration (http:// www.viennadeclaration.com/ about/backgrounder/) and The International Centre for Science in Drug Policy (http://www.icsdp.org/) are three sites which provide the science supporting sensible drug policy.

Life’s a (dog) beach, at times Editor: Re: Going walkies in White Rock, Dec. 20 letters. There was a person who mentioned that you can walk your dogs at any time along Crescent Beach. Just to set things straight, you can walk your dogs on leash on Crescent Beach between Sept. 16 and May 14. At all other times, dogs are not allowed, but just like anywhere else lots of people choose to break the laws, and as long as there seems to be no active bylaw enforcement officers anywhere to be seen, it happens a lot.

Surrey-Fleetwood MLA Jagrup Brar, outside the Hastings Street building he is living in this month.

For the sake of everyone’s welfare Editor: I commend Surrey MLA Jagrup Brar for his efforts to draw attention to the thousands of British Columbians living in impoverished conditions on welfare. I feel $610 per month is legislated poverty and oppressive and the welfare rates should be raised sooner rather than later. Why? Raising welfare rates is an efficient way to stimulate the economy. Most of the money distributed to the poor will be spent in the local economy and stimulate demand. This will increase the need for more goods and services and workers and unemployment may start to fall gradually. Helping the poor pays huge dividends in every sector of government expenditure. Lifting children and families out of poverty increases positive outcomes for the most marginalized among us. With a focus on a healthy and educated society, less youth will go into crime or gangs, thereby saving the government millions in police, court and prison-related costs. It is morally and ethically the right thing to do to help the less fortunate get ahead and reach their potential. The solution is finding support for the mentally ill, detox for persons addicted to drugs and homes for the homeless.

Brar should also be arguing for streamlining the administration of the welfare system. I don’t see why the federal government cannot issue income assistance cheques through the use of technology and centralization. This removes the stigma of welfare and huge savings can be made in overall administration. Most importantly, the savings can be passed on to those in need as an increase in the welfare rate. And yes, the waiting period should be abolished! There is no direct relationship between a waiting period and a job search. The government should pay people their benefits while they’re doing the job search so they can survive and pay their food and shelter expenses. It also costs money to find a job. You need nice clothes, transportation, a telephone, access to Internet and maybe even a fax machine. Last, you must understand the history of the development of the welfare office to comprehend why it is unfair and unjust. The welfare office is a product of the old English Poor Laws and the concept of “less eligibility.” Less eligibility means a welfare recipient cannot receive more money than the least-paid worker. This concept basically drives down wages and benefits for all workers and is not a good thing for society. Alex Sangha, Delta

It was the first meeting of White Rock council to use iPads and Coun. Larry Robinson set himself a challenge of getting through both the private and public sessions without using pen or paper. As the Monday (Jan. 23) public meeting wrapped up, a pleased Robinson announced that he had succeeded in keeping his pen in his jacket pocket while using the tablet computer to read through

the pen he didn’t use and the iPad that he did. “But I don’t need it.” It was only a few days after members of White Rock council had been trained to use the iPads with optional bluetooth keyboards. Last year, Surrey became the first Lower Mainland municipality to move to a paperless system to reduce waste. A number of smaller Eastern Canadian municipalities have done the same.

intense here than elsewhere,” he said. Those are bigger factors here, he said, than land-use restrictions such as the Agricultural Land Reserve or Metro Vancouver’s Regional Growth Strategy, which seeks to concentrate development in areas better served by transit. “The long-term upward trend in land prices will continue,” Pastrick predicts, adding the old expectation that most people can own a detached house will continue to fade. More residents will own condos and increasingly, buyers will choose smaller units, older units or ones further from the core in response to rising prices, he said. “It may also mean renting,” Pastrick said. “In the future, I think there will be relatively more renters than we have now.” New Westminster Mayor Wayne Wright, who chairs Metro’s housing committee, said the shortage of rental housing is also a serious concern. “If you don’t have a workforce that can get to work and have a good day’s work given to you because they had to travel for four hours, you’re in a lot of trouble,” he said. Local cities and other groups have formed the Rental Housing Supply Coalition to press senior governments to find ways to encourage developers to build more rental units. Wright said aging rental apartment buildings are increasingly becoming unlivable and that is making it more urgent to solve the rental supply problem.

“Before I came to Dr. Nelson, my teeth showed the effects of many years of neglect, and I was not quick to smile. Also, it was difÀcult to chew food and was painful and frustrating and the reason I avoided dentists. After Dr. Nelson and the rest of his team worked on me, my teeth not only look great, but they also feel great. As far as the surgery goes, it was a minor event and the implants are just like my own teeth. If it is decided that implants are the best thing for you, or if something else is required, you will have the procedure explained and they will answer any questions you may have. As I said before, my teeth look and feel great and eating is a joy again. I now have a ready smile and people notice that.” –Alfred R.

perspectives â&#x20AC;Śon the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history full of inaugural events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from school openings to the launching of service clubs

Celebrating a few White Rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;firstsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; T

he announcement of the firsts of the year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; baby born; murder committed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; triggered our thoughts about White Rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;firstsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, especially the unique qualities entailed in recording them. Since White Rock history started long before White Rock became an official entity, a large number of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;firstsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; were secured along the way. With Lorraine and Hugh Ellenwood incorporation in 1957, another round of firsts were rung up, and things became a bit like B.C. and A.D. For instance, pioneer Margaret Grant claimed her daughter, born about 1911, was the first white child born in the White Rock townsite. Forty-six years later, Douglas Blaine Kendall was celebrated as the City of White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first baby. All things considered, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve narrowed our firsts down to three categories, beginning with some which are irrefutable: White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first school opened in 1910 on Henry Thriftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property; the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first neon sign advertised George Thriftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real estate and insurance business on Washington Avenue (Marine Drive) in 1935; the first womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service club, the Soroptimists, was formed in 1950; White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first traffic light (at the corner of North Bluff and Johnston roads) was installed in 1970; in 1988, White Rock gained the distinction of becoming the first municipality in Canada to request a coat of arms from the newly formed Canadian Heraldic Authority. The second category is concerned with longevity, that is, those who endured long enough for people to think they must have been the first. Good examples of these are doctors, hairdressers, and fish and chip shops. Doctors Blades and Hogg, coming to

White Rock after discharge from the Royal Canadian Air Force after the Second World War, were certainly the earliest doctors to stay the course, but were not the first to try. In the early 1940s, the Board of Trade made a valiant effort to entice a doctor to White Rock. At least four made a stab at it, but the population couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t (or were too healthy to) supply a living for them.

Recently, a correspondent took the time to advise us that her mother bought the oldest hairdressing salon in White Rock in 1961. That would be surprising news to the late Kay Morrison who established her shop in the late 1930s on Marine Drive. Actually, a hairdresser was in business in White Rock as early as 1926. The fish and chip title is the fuzziest. Again, endurance is the key to the claim.

It has been recorded that the Davey family were the first, but Len Davey, in an interview several years ago, recounted that his parents had an eye on an established shop for rent in White Rock, but a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; beat them to it. The friend had the temerity to ask Lenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother for her batter recipe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mother gave her the recipe,â&#x20AC;? chuckled Len. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But left out a secret ingredient.â&#x20AC;? see page 12

First bird recorded from page 11 The family went on to make a success of another location. It makes sense that there was a range of such eateries in White Rock before the Davey family arrived in the late 1920s. But they endured, contributing to the development of the community in many other ways, and so are remembered. The third category, tenuous at best, contains the ‘firsts’ impossible to prove. In a more bucolic era, the first robin of spring was annually reported. Did the bird appear with a ‘I’m the first’ banner? Another item in this slot is the news that Mrs. Vidal had made the first blackberry pie of the season. Was it a coincidence that Mr. Vidal was the local reporter for the newspaper? Firsts, or otherwise, all historical information is interesting and welcome in our business, and often the presenters also learn a little more of White Rock history. Finally, we can’t declare recentlypublished author, Tom Saunders, White Rock’s first writer of children’s

lifestyles Elgin Park Secondary students raise more than $1,000

Helping kids with cancer Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

Generous South Surrey shoppers donated just over $1,000 in three hours for young cancer patients. The fundraiser was the work of a group of Elgin Park Secondary students who thanked the donors and the local businesses who made the Dec. 18 event a success. The money was used to buy holiday gifts for cancer patients at BC Children’s Hospital. “Our objective was to make a warm Christmas for the cancer patients, who spend every day in the hospital and fight against cancer,” said Grade 11 student Annie Kim, co-president of the Elgin Park Canadian Cancer Youth Society Club. “We mostly bought toys, puzzles and games for the children, so that we can gift them hope, fun and joy for Christmas.” Kim wanted to publicly acknowledge Ocean Park Safeway and Starbucks for allowing the students to set up outside their stores.

Sameen Ahmed, Cassidy Poulton, Morgan Phillips, Annie Kim and Jonah Killam pose with just-purchased gifts for cancer patients. “It was a very cold day, and it went a little slow in the beginning, but soon after, more and more people started donating… so we were able to cheer up our-

selves in the cold weather.” At the end of the three hours, the students, with $1,045.48 in donations collected, went straight to WalMart to purchase the gifts.

Social Justice Film Society meets Friday Why has America been fighting a war every decade since the 1940s? In his documentary, Why We Fight, filmmaker Eugene Jarecki argues that the business of making war has become too profitable for the U.S. not to. The film presented by the White Rock Social Justice Film Society this Friday (Jan. 27, 7

p.m.) at First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave., is the last of the society’s Friday film series before the annual film festival returns Feb. 24-25. In the Sundance award-winner, Jarecki revisits President Dwight Eisenhower’s famous farewell address to the nation at the end of his second term in 1961, in

which the man who had served as Supreme Allied Commander during the Second World War warned Americans of the rise of a new force in US politics – the military-industrial complex. Leading a post-film discussion and answering questions raised by the documentary will be Langara College prof. Peter Prontzos.

lifestyles Clayton Heights, Enver Creek secondaries take on Young Blood for Life challenge

Campaign has Surrey students seeing red Jennifer Lang Black Press

The very idea of making a lifelong commitment while you’re still in high school may seem like a tough sell. But that’s exactly what Canadian Blood Services’ ‘Young Blood for Life’ campaign is pitching to teens across the country. The national recruitment drive aims to get teens to regularly donate while they’re still in high school, in hopes that giving blood will become a habit of a lifetime. Clayton Heights Secondary was ready to take up the challenge this school year. The students and staff have so far donated blood 24 times since September and are asking other students to take up the challenge this year, along with their friends and family. Schools compete against each other to see which can donate the most blood by the end of the current school year; students at Clayton Heights, located at 7003 188 St., are up against those at Enver Creek Secondary (14505 84 St.). CHS has about 16 school donors who are giving blood regularly, but Sheri Montgomery, an instructor, said she wants to see that increase to at least 24. Eligible donors can give blood every 56 days. Campaign participants

are shuttled to the Canadian Blood Services permanent clinic at 10-6830 King George Blvd., where the process of giving blood takes about an hour. “I’m very proud of those who step up and are attending regularly,” Montgomery says. “I hope it will be a lifelong commitment.” Donors must be 17 years of age, in good health, weigh at least 50 kilograms (110 pounds), and undergo a thorough screening process first. Fifty-two per cent of Canadians say they have – or have a family member – who needed blood. Joining the campaign was an easy decision for Montgomery. “I have type-O blood,” she says. “I’m a universal donor.” It’s the type that’s most in demand by hospitals and is often in short supply. Regardless of type, blood is always in great demand. One donation can save up to three lives. Canadian Blood Services says out of a class of 30 students, at least 15 of them, or a family member, will need blood during their lifetime. But just one will end up giving blood. The Young Blood for Life challenge continues through May 31. For more information about joining the challenge, send an email to youngbloodforlife@blood.ca

JANUARY 26/2012

Lower Mainland consumers more design-savvy

Housing market looks forward to 2012 The new year brings with it new expectations and new trends. This is true in the housing market as well, and Cristy Edmonds, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for Fifth Avenue Marketing, has a few ideas in mind for 2012. “It will be a good, steady year,” she says. “It’s been a busy January already.” With mortgage rates at a historical low, there is still a steady supply of people moving into Greater Vancouver. “We have the benefit of the international market,” Edmonds says. Buyers from all over the world are eager to purchase a home in the Lower Mainland, but one big change that Edmonds expects to see is more end users purchasing property, instead of the speculative buyers that have historically owned homes.

She also expects to see some amazing developments going on sale this year. “You’ll see smarter, more experienced developers bringing projects to market,” she says, adding that because buyers are more design-savvy than before, they won’t accept inferior design. “This is a very sophisticated real estate market. A lot of developers have done a really good job and raised the bar.” Compared to other markets in Canada, Vancouver buyers are looking for something much more high end. “In Calgary you still get lower-end products like (linoleum) flooring, while Vancouver is more sophisticated, with granite and hardwood,” Edmonds says. “Design shows (on television) have contributed to this. They want the best of the best.”

‘You’d be really hard-pressed to ﬁnd these standard features’

Stunning views and beautiful homes at Westridge Living by Kerry Vital

Listraor is continuing its reputation for excellence with its newest development, Westridge Living in Burnaby. While the Listraor name is drawing people in, buyers are staying for the beautiful homes on offer. “You’d be really hard-pressed to find these standard features,” says sales manager Ryan Lalonde. “Listraor is offering a level of detail that’s not traditionally offered.” Westridge is chock-full of amazing features, from deep soaker tubs in the master ensuite to gourmet kitchens built in an open plan design that include stone-slab countertops, stainless-steel appliances and custom cabinetry. The main living areas are perfect for entertaining, with hardwood flooring and even a space for your flat-screen television. In a masterstroke of convenience, a washer and dryer are included in every home. Ranging from 1,031 to 1,107 square feet, the homes are available in three different floorplans. The A plan is a two-bedroom single-level home with a garden-level walkout terrace, perfect for a morning cup of coffee or entertaining groups of all sizes. Above the A units are the B units, which are two-bedroom townhomes that feature stunning rooftop views of the Burrard Inlet and North Shore mountains. Each home also includes two private decks and a breakfast nook. The largest homes are the C units, which have three bedrooms and large outdoor terraces. One special feature of these homes is the master bedroom and ensuite, which is located in its own

loft on the third level. If you’re looking for a bit of extra privacy, the C units are definitely for you. However, it’s not just the gorgeous homes that are bringing people in. The location itself has been a major draw, Lalonde says. “Listraor has done a beautiful job of choosing the neighbourhood,” he says. “You get an unobstructed view of the mountains.” Many of the current buyers are people who have lived in the area before and are looking for something a bit different. Westridge has this in

spades, and Lalonde says that people looking for a quality home at an amazing price will not be disappointed. “There are fabulous green spaces front and back, and you get the security and convenience of the location,” he says. Westridge is close to nearly every amenity you could ever need, including several golf courses, Simon Fraser University, plenty of shops and restaurants and even a local beach. Potential buyers are able to check out Westridge Living from the comfort of their home or office with the Online

Open House, which allows you to speak with a sales representative in real time while watching a video of your chosen floorplan. This also allows homebuyers to show their home to friends and family who may be unable to visit the presentation centre. “We can cue up clips specific to (a buyer’s) request,” Lalonde says. “It gives you a bit more comprehensive look.” If you’re more of a tactile person, Listraor also has a presentation centre. Homes start at $489,900. For more information, visit westridgeliving.ca or call 778-995-9198.

“

Listraor has done a beautiful job of choosing the neighbourhood,” says sales manager Ryan Lalonde.

B.C. battles smoking, salt

H I STO R I C ST E WA RT FA R M

By Tom Fletcher Black Press

B.C.’s program to supply free quit-smoking aids is proving popular, with more than 63,000 smokers taking advantage since it launched last September. The program offers up to 12 weeks’ worth of nicotine patches or gum, available once per calendar year to people with active Medical Services Plan coverage. Those who used the program in 2011 are eligible again for 2012, and 4,500 people signed up in the first two weeks of the new year. Two prescription drugs, Champix and Zyban, are also available with costs for 12 weeks covered for some people under the Pharmacare plan. People can register by calling HealthLink BC at 8-1-1. B.C. has the lowest smoking rate in Canada, but the health ministry estimates there are still 550,000 smokers in the province.

Garden Workshops File photo

Many B.C. smokers are taking advantage of free quit-smoking aids. More than 6,000 B.C. residents die each year from smokingrelated illness, costing an estimated $605 million in direct health-care costs. With health-care costs taking up more than 40 per cent of the B.C. budget and cost pressures increasing as the baby-boom generation retires, the province is launching another push to reduce salt consumption.

A new “sodium sense” tool has been added to the health ministry’s website at www.healthyfamiliesbc.ca so people can calculate salt intake and find low-sodium menu alternatives. Sodium is a necessary part of the diet, but the ministry estimates that B.C. residents on average consume twice as much as they need. Excess sodium is linked to high blood pressure.

Ferry fares at ‘tipping point’ Tom Fletcher Black Press

BC Ferries has reached a “tipping point” of rising fares and declining ridership, and should cut costs or add more subsidy to keep future fare increases to the rate of inflation, BC Ferry Commissioner Gord Macatee says. Macatee began his term last year with a full-scale review of the ferry system, and delivered a report with 24 recommenda-

tions to the B.C. government on Tuesday. He says the government should consider increasing subsidies, reducing sailings on lowridership routes and making reservations free so BC Ferries can plan more accurately. Macatee proposes that BC Ferries reverse its reservation system so people without a reserved spot would pay an extra fee. That, along with varying rates to induce people to travel during

In order to help prevent my son’s wife from making a claim against their family home, I signed some documents prepared by him. Both my son and I were sued by this wife and when I went to court I didn’t tell the truth about why the home was transferred to me. My son did his best to prevent the injustice of his wife making a claim against him for part of his house and business assets, and did not disclose all his assets and income. The court has now reversed the house transfer and awarded costs against him and also against me. How can this be? I didn’t stand to gain by anything I said in court.

If you are sued in court and the result is that you are found to be liable, you pay the other side’s costs. Here is worse news, you and your son are both fully liable to pay the whole of the costs. The whole of the costs can be enforced against you. You then must sue your son for whatever you paid on his behalf. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

off-peak times, could reduce the empty seats and car deck spaces, the report says. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom said Tuesday it’s too early to comment on whether the government can increase the $150 million subsidy that B.C. taxpayers put into BC Ferries annually. Fares have increased 47 per cent on major routes and 80 per cent on minor routes since 2003.

arts & entertainment …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Renowned violinist to take the stage in White Rock next month

Ensemble a ‘small laboratory of music’ Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

ome call it Gypsy Jazz – Lache Cercel calls it Roma Swing. The virtuoso Romanian-born violinist has a soulful tone that speaks of generations of music tradition in his own family – and a staggering technique refined through years of classical music studies and performance. In format, his music acknowledges both his roots and the jazz style of Stephane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt that came to worldwide fame in the 1930s. But don’t expect the upcoming performance by Cercel and his Roma Swing Ensemble, presented by Geoff Giffin and Wendy Bollard’s Peninsula Productions (Feb. 10, 8 p.m., First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave.), to be simply a rehash of what was done in the past. What the Vancouver-based Cercel creates with such Canadian collaborators as well-known guitarist Don Ogilvie and bassist Sam Schoichet may pay tribute to familiar standards, but it’s just as likely to feature originals drawing on such diverse influences as East Indian, Middle Eastern and Chinese music, always with an underpinning of advanced jazz chord progressions. The result, said Cercel, is a different kind of world music that is thoroughly Canadian in its multicultural blend, achieving its own stylistic authenticity. “It’s about musicians from around the world, from different backgrounds… who find a middle way to meet together and build together, through performance, a new genre of music,” he said. “If I was going to play the same music I did in Romania, I would have stayed there. It’s like Latin jazz – it happens here, but it’s not the same Latin jazz you would find in Cuba.” Roma Swing’s style, showcased in the group’s first album, Musika Konkordo, has been described by reviewers as a mix of “roots, ethnic and Balkan music, with fancy jazz chords and advanced jazz bass lines.” “I think that’s an accurate description,” Cercel said. And while improvisation is central to the music, that doesn’t mean there’s anything

Cercel, who before settling in Canada in 1998 was one of Romania’s most highly regarded classical musicians (trained at the Academy of Arts in Bucharest, he became a nationally-honoured soloist with the Radio and Television Symphony Orchestra), doesn’t neglect academic and technical considerations in his ensemble, which he describes as “a small laboratory of music.” A new piece for the ensemble, whether an original or a cover of a familiar tune, is thoroughly worked out by Olgivie and himself to bring out the best tonal colours. “It’s why Mozart wrote his Clarinet Concerto in Bb, or Bach wrote his Two

Violin concerto in D, or why Albinoni’s Adagio is in G – it’s to choose the best key for the instrument, where the instrument has the best response. “After we find the right key, it’s finding the right inversion of the chords in balance with the melody line.” Harmonization is kept clean, to avoid “very thick” orchestration Cercel said, with an emphasis on blending the characteristics of musically sympathetic instruments such as bass, guitar, violin and accordion “to have an even, equal sound.” While blues and roots music of the past was not very harmonically advanced, he said, he has a preference for “astral chords”

employing intervals of ninths, 11ths and 13ths – “this way I can say its a new genre of music,” he said. Cercel is wary of using the term ‘fusion’ to describe his music – it has been confused by overuse and association with other forms, such as ‘rock fusion,’ he said. Similarly, making generalizations about Roma music is like lumping all genres of country music together, he said. What some think of as Roma music is actually the romanticized creation of such classical composers as Liszt and Brahms, or Monti’s famous Czardas – which Cercel characterizes as the “classical café concert see page 38

The ensemble will be performing in White Rock.

How artists picture the city Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A city offers both beauty and banality. It is repetitious and dynamic; it can appear to stay the same, yet change drastically over a short period of time. Surrey Art Galley’s newest exhibition, Beyond Vague Terrain: The City and the Serial Image, shows many sides to cities, especially Metro Vancouver’s. The ambitious, and in many cases large-scale, artworks include a grid of shimmering graphite rubbings of eroded date-stamped sidewalks on Vancouver’s Westside, a 109-foot-long light box presenting a panorama of Metro Vancouver as seen from a moving SkyTrain, and an interactive photographic database of every bus stop in Surrey. Through photography, painting, drawing and video, artists used the strategy of multiple images to create compelling ways of representing experiences of the city. The artists in the exhibition are Sylvia Grace Borda, Michael de Courcy, Chris Gergley, Jeremy Herndl, Bill Jeffries, Roy Kiyooka, Owen Kydd, Khan Lee, Helma Sawatzky, Susan Schuppli, Jeff Wall, Ian Wallace and Neil Wedman. Beyond Vague Terrain launched Jan. 14, and continues to March

RR$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$P Contributed photo

The Phoenix Complex by Helma Sawatzky is part of the exhibition. 18. Admission is by donation. Many of the images explore urban spaces characterized by vast swaths of street intersections, industrial dead zones and suburban sprawl. These ‘defeatured landscapes’, as they came to be known, brought international attention to Vancouver’s art scene – particularly photography – in the 1980s and early 1990s. The architect and philosopher Ignasi de Solà-Morales referred to these sorts of urban landscapes as a “terrain vague.”

Beyond Vague Terrain brings together works from this historical period, as well as new works. In this exhibition, the multiplicity of images within a single artwork is featured, rather than the individual pictures normally associated with artistic representations of urban landscapes. These serial artworks – both photographic and non-photographic – challenge the notion of the city centre, and ask that its margins be see page 42

Capturing a cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shift from page 41 re-imagined, just as the idea of the generic city is challenged when a placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specific qualities and histories are revealed. In addition to the strong sense of realism that runs through much of the art, there is a keen interest on the part of the artists to capture the dynamic aspects of time related to the modern city. Some artworks seek to collapse time and space. Helma Sawatzkyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recombined images of a new building site in South Surrey speak to the rapid development of this part of the Lower Mainland. Other artworks use a fixedframe method to capture the shifting activities of the city and its landscape. Roy Kiyookaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s street photographs freeze moving figures and passing

vehicles against storefront facades in late-1970s East Vancouver, while Jeremy Herndlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s series of paintings depict an ever-transforming view across a sparsely populated Whalley neighbourhood in North Surrey. It is often claimed that in the digital era every photograph has been taken countless times over, and therefore every landscape has been documented. Beyond Vague Terrain: The City and the Serial Image brings together a wide breadth of documentary approaches to capturing the dynamics of the city, with an emphasis on picturing its everyday features.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Sydney Kreps will hit the ice with girls team at B.C. Games

Leaving the boys behind Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

ver since she began playing hockey at five years old, Sydney Kreps has played with the boys. But now, with an eye toward her future – which one day, she hopes, includes a college hockey scholarship – the 14-year-old Semiahmoo Secondary student knows that the next step is to play solely with girls. And her first opportunity will come next month, when she laces up her skates with the Fraser Valley (Zone 3) U16 girls team at the B.C. Winter Games, which take place in Vernon Feb. 23-26. “I’ve been playing with the boys my whole life, since I was five, six years old,” Kreps explained. “But I started wanting to do something with hockey, since I just love the sport so much, so I decided to take this opportunity, and at least see where it goes. “I figured I’d at least give it my best shot.” It’s been so far, so good for the rightwinger, who is playing this season for Semiahmoo Minor Hockey’s bantam C8 team. She attended a two-day Winter Games tryout camp at the end of December, and impressed coaches enough to stick on one of the three Games-bound squads; about 100 girls tried out, with 60 making the cut. And she also caught the eye of a coach with the Surrey Falcons of the Surrey Female Hockey Association, who invited her to join the team at some spring events. Kreps said it’s always been her plan to transition to girls hockey by the midget level – where she’ll be next fall – but admits it will be tough to leave the boys behind, many of whom she’s played with nearly her whole minor-hockey career. “I’m having so much fun playing with my friends right now, so I didn’t want to go (before midget),” she said. “It’s never been weird, playing with boys. They all know me, they’re my friends. And this year, I’m a second-year (bantam) player, so I’m one of the older ones, and a lot of the first-years look up to me as a leader, and I’m very

Semiahmoo Minor Hockey’s Sydney Kreps will play for Zone 3 (Fraser Valley) at the B.C. Winter Games next month in Vernon. comfortable with that.” She admits she felt slightly less comfortable prior to Winter Games tryouts last month, which were held in Coquitlam. Normally one to get butterflies before a big game, Kreps got to the rink extra early so she could better prepare herself. “I’m usually the first person at the rink. If I’m nervous, I feel like when I get to the rink, get to the ice, I can calm my nerves down,” she said. “I’ll get dressed, then take a step out of the dressing room and give myself time by myself to think about what I’m going to do on the ice.”

For the first day in Coquitlam, she and her dad, Darin, got to the rink at 6:45 a.m. for a 9 a.m. ice time. “And then I actually ended up being put in the later group. We were on the ice last,” she laughed. “But it was good, though. It gave me lots of time to hang out with the rest of the girls.” She actually began preparing for the tryout well in advance of the first day, she said. She trained hard off the ice and shots pucks at home nearly every night in preparation. And once she stepped onto the ice, she felt right at home.

“I felt like I fit in, but there were also a lot of girls there who I thought were better than me, so I just tried to learn as much as I could from them,” she said. As per tournament rules, Kreps’ Fraser Valley team is not allowed to practise together prior to the start of the B.C. Games, but she hopes the squad gels quickly; they arrive in Vernon by bus on Feb. 23 and play that night in Lumby. “It’s going to be a challenge, for sure. We’re just going to have to play as a team,” she said. “I’m just really looking forward to the opportunity to play at such a highperformance event with these girls.”

Loss, tie puts Major Midget squad in fifth place

Hawks drop in standings Rick Kupchuk Black Press

After the Chiefs tallied twice in a 31-second span midway through the final period to take a 3-1 lead, Surrey forward Mitchell Frisen responded with his first of two goals with five minutes to go. Ram Brar of Surrey, netted the game’s first goal in the opening period. Langley defenceman Jordan Klimek and Friesen collected two assists each. Four third-period goals allowed the Chiefs to get the win Saturday. They led 2-1 after one period with a pair of powerplay goals, but were tied 3-3 after 40 minutes. Three of the Chiefs’ four powerplay goals were scored in the final frame. Friesen and Klimek each had a goal and an assist. Surrey defenceman Jerret Smith and Langley’s Josh Pollock also scored. Lange contributed with a pair of helpers.

A winless weekend has cost the Valley West Hawks one place in the B.C. Hockey Major Midget League (MML) standings. The Hawks fell 7-4 to the Vancouver Chiefs Saturday in Coquitlam, then played to a 3-3 tie in a rematch Sunday afternoon at the Langley Events Centre. The weekend results vaulted the Chiefs into sole possession of third place in the 11-team league, and with two wins on a weekend trip to Vancouver Island, the Vancouver Canadians were also able to move past the Hawks into fourth place. Now at 15-12-3 (won-lost-tied), Valley West pulled alongside the idle Okanagan Rockets in a tie for fifth place. Langley forward Daniell Lange

was the hero Sunday, allowing the Hawks to salvage a single point from the weekend with a gametying goal with 56 seconds to play.
