HST defeat challenges schools: Abbott Dan Ferguson & Tracy Holmes Black Press
Education Minister George Abbott kept using variations of the word “challenge” during a half-hour conference call with reporters this week to discuss the coming school year. “It may be a somewhat more challenging school year,” the minister said. “There’s not a lot of room for optimism.” He was talking specifically about the deadlocked contract talks with teachers, but he sounded equally gloomy about the impact of
the HST defeat on funding for new schools in Surrey and Langley, where population growth in some neighbourhoods has outpaced school construction. “It (the HST defeat) adds an additional dimension into what is a challenging situation,” the minister said Tuesday. There is a need for capital investment, Abbott added, but it won’t be easy to fund. Even without the loss of revenue from the HST, the drop in revenues created by the international economic “meltdown” has
forced the government to tighten its belt, Abbott warned. “It is not a time we can be expansive when it comes to spending,” he said. “We don’t have that choice.” While Surrey School Board chair Laurae McNally said she has heard government officials talk of having to tighten the pursestrings, she told Peace Arch News Wednesday that she believes they recognize Surrey’s unique position as a growing school district. “(Finance Minister) Kevin Falcon is on
record… as saying the HST will affect operating situations, but it won’t affect capital projects because they’re job-creating projects,” McNally said. Abbott spent a day touring the Surrey district earlier this year, and echoed the sentiments, she said. “They’ve made the comments publicly… we’ll just have to wait and see,” she said. McNally noted Premier Christy Clark has been talking about a job-creation strategy, and suggested new schools would fit the bill.
Residents fume
Schools to re-open
No end in sight to temporary bus stop
Caution: student crossing
Alex Browne Staff Reporter
A temporary TransLink bus stop and layover on Foster Street adjacent to Russell Avenue has residents of the Pacific Terrace apartment complex up in arms – and they’re taking their grievance to White Rock council. More than 100 have signed a petition against the bus layover location, which has been in effect for more than three weeks, since road-improvement work started on North Bluff Road (16 Avenue). In that time, according to resident and petition author Paulette Collier, the area has become a waking nightmare that starts every morning at 5:30 a.m. While the bus-stop location was expected to be in use only until the upgrade of North Bluff Road is completed at the end of September, the City of White Rock has no plans to return it to North Bluff, and it has yet to find another location. Last month’s move had already raised the ire of owners of businesses on Foster Street, including see page 4

The return of school speed zone limits on Sept. 6 also means the return of parents driving their children to school. But parents are being asked to avoid those educational institutes, if possible. David Dunne, director of the BCAA Road Safety Foundation safety programs, said parents who drive their children to and from school pose the biggest danger to child pedestrians and cyclists. “The congestion caused by so many vehicles creates a very dangerous environment,” he said. Reports of drivers making U-turns, stopping in no-stopping zones, backing up into crosswalks, rolling through stop signs, ignoring school safety patrollers and letting their children out from the driver’s side into oncoming traffic are all common. The most common offence, however, is speeding. In an effort to address the issue, Preventable.ca will launch its “Have a word with yourself ” campaign Sept. 6-9 in Surrey school zones. Drivers who speed in school zones risk fines of $138 to $483 and the possibility of having their vehicles impounded for up to 60 days.

Financial demand of new Port Mann Bridge unfair to its users

take a great deal of additional traffic. The Alex Fraser Bridge and Massey tunnel are other alternatives, and they will likely become much busier the day the tolls kick in on the Port Mann. Suggestions from some local politicians about more universal tolling of bridges in the Lower Mainland, to help pay for transit and road improvements, have thus far fallen on deaf ears. It appears Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford and Coquitlam residents will pay for the bulk of the bridge costs. The Golden Ears Bridge was a completely new service. There hadn’t been a bridge between Langley and Maple Ridge – just a ferry service that was hopelessly outdated. The new Port Mann Bridge is replacing an existing bridge which has been in operation since 1964 and was never a toll bridge. It has served the area well, but it has been jammed with traffic at busy times (which are far more than mornings and evenings on work days) for years. The new wider bridge is badly needed, but the additional financial demand it will place on bridge users is patently unfair. The province needs to rethink not only how the bridge is financed, but how a broader, lower cost per trip, tolling program could help pay for the new bridge and ease TransLink’s financial woes. Surrey residents should not be paying an unfair share of the overall tax burden for transportation. Frank Bucholtz writes Fridays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

news Pharmaceutical focus ineffective, says laser-treatment provider
Province roasted on quit-smoking plan Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Add Ralph Semple to the list of critics of B.C.’s plan to fund therapy for smokers. The president of South Surreybased Imagine Laserworks said the government will spend $15-$25 million per year – based on its own estimates – on drugs he claims are not only ineffective, but also pose documented health risks to the public. And he says he is taking his concerns to NDP health critic Mike Farnworth. “His office is very keen to talk to us,” Semple said. Imagine, which has operated locally for the last decade, offers laser acupuncture treatments to help clients stop smoking. But Semple said the B.C. smoking cessation program, set to start Sept. 30, ignores alternative therapies to focus exclusively on pharmaceuticals such as nicotine gum and

Ralph Semple challenges plan. patches, or prescription pills. “It’s not just about us,” he said. “What about acupuncture, or all the hypnotherapists’ offices or counselling? Why is this focused on supporting one industry? The BC Liberal website says they support small business, but in reality they’re supporting the pharmaceu-
tical industry.” The Ministry of Health, however, maintains that its drug coverage decisions are the result of a “rigorous” review process. In a statement, ministry spokesperson Brian Cotton said the process “considers clinical evidence, cost effectiveness, input from clinical experts, information from other jurisdictions, available resources and existing programs and policies.” Semple said he tried to have Imagine’s services included among government-covered therapies after the program was announced in May. “I got the basic runaround,” he said. “They reported back to me that Health Canada doesn’t recognize laser acupuncture as a therapy.” But Cotton said additional evidence is required on the “efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness” of laser acupuncture before it could be considered under the program.
He noted that PharmaCare would not cover it in any case, as it’s not classed as a prescription drug or a medical supply. “The ministry is pleased to continue discussions with the laser therapists, should additional evidence… become available,” he said. Semple’s attack on the smokingcessation program also extends to specific prescription drugs that will be covered under B.C.’s plan, including one that has been the subject of Health Canada warnings and another that is the subject of numerous class-action suits in Canada and the U.S. “People will assume if the government is paying for it, the government is endorsing it – that it’s good for them,” he said, adding that physicians have been slow to warn patients of potentially fatal side effects of such drugs. “Is (Premier) Christy Clark’s government going to assume responsi-
bility for class-action lawsuits?” Cotton said the health ministry is completing a review of drugs that will be covered. “The final decision will need to measure safety concerns against clinical evidence that shows the benefit of the drug in patients trying to quit smoking,” he said. In addition to safety issues, Semple said the government’s decision to fund over-the-counter nicotinereplacement therapies ignores studies that show they have a success rate of less than eight per cent. “It’s like telling an alcoholic, ‘if you want to quit drinking, switch from Scotch to Vodka’,” said Semple, who claims Imagine’s success rate is between 85 and 94 per cent. In business for 13 years, Semple says his criticism is not simply sour grapes for having his therapy passed over for government support. “People come to us as a last resort anyway… because the other things don’t work,” he said.

Diner ‘robs to pay tab’ A 21-year-old Surrey man is facing charges in connection with “a most unusual robbery” in North Vancouver Friday. Police say they were dispatched to the Esso on Lonsdale Avenue at 17 Street around 9:30 p.m. Aug. 26, after the gas station’s hold-up alarm was triggered. The robbery – in which police say an employee was threatened with a screwdriver – occurred shortly after a man who had dined at a nearby restaurant left without paying his $38-tab. The diner reportedly told Browns Social House staff to call police, and that he would be at the gas station next door, a North Vancouver RCMP news release states. Shortly after the gas station robbery, the dine-and-dash patron returned to pay his bill, police say. Corey Henderson, 21, of Surrey, has been charged with robbery, fraudulently obtaining food and beverage and possession of
a weapon for dangerous purpose in connection with the incident. Released from custody, Henderson is due back in North Vancouver Court Sept. 7.

Citizens of White Rock will have two opportunities this month to review and comment on proposed changes to the city’s tree management bylaw (Policy 611). The draft revisions will be available for perusal in council chambers (15322 Buena Vista Ave.) from 4-6 p.m. Sept. 13, and from 6-8 p.m. Sept. 22. Council gave unanimous support in July to putting the revisions to the public. The original Policy 611 was approved in June 2010, and was intended to give staff and council guidance in dealing with applications to trim, prune or remove trees on city lands. It became a source of contention earlier this year, after council granted an appeal that resulted in the removal of two trees in the 15100-block of Royal Avenue. The applicant said the trees were blocking views.

Child-pornography conviction for man arrested here
76-year-old to be sentenced A North Okanagan sex offender convicted in Texas on seven child pornography related counts – and who was once arrested in White Rock – is to be sentenced this month. Harvey James Pelland, 76, will be sentenced in Abilene, Texas on Sept. 21. He was found guilty in April of two counts of possessing child pornography and five counts of receiving a visual depiction of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct. Each count of child pornography possession carries a maximum statutory sentence of 10 years imprisonment, and each of the other five counts carries a statutory sentence of not less
than five years, and not more than 20 years. Pelland has been in custody since his arrest on April 6, 2009 while he was living in the town of Big Spring, near Lubbock, Texas, on a charge of failing to register as a sex offender. He pleaded guilty to that charge in July ’09. The U.S. government presented evidence in a trial last April that in March and April of 2009, Pelland possessed images of child pornography and received child porn images from the Internet while living in Big Spring. Pelland was convicted in Vernon Provincial Court in 2007 of possessing child pornography after setting up a video camera in a Lumby area home he shared with

a woman and her young daughter in order to film the girl. Upon his release from prison, Pelland was to be placed on three years probation with strict conditions, which included not to attend a public park. Pelland skipped the North Okanagan and went down to the Lower Mainland, where he was arrested in White Rock coming out of a park. In November 2007, Pelland reported to a probation office in Vernon for the final time. Canada Customs made Vernon RCMP aware that on Nov. 20, 2007, Pelland – who holds dual citizenship – had crossed the border into the U.S. – Black Press

Quake out east a shake up for preparedness he rattled nerves and breathless news coverage brought on by the 5.8 earthquake that shook the northeast last week was enough to make any jaded Pacific Northwesterner smile. After all, we’ve been dreading the “big one” for decades. In fact, geologists have told us it’s inevitable. They just don’t know when. The eastern earthquake was centered in Virginia, not far from Washington D.C. Bureaucrats in the city fled into the streets, monuments and memorials on the National Mall were closed. Spires on the National Cathedral cracked and chunks of stone tumbled to the ground. The tremors were felt up and down the Atlantic seaboard, from South Carolina to Maine, and inland to Southern Ontario and Ohio. That means more than 15 million people felt the shaking. Even the Dow Jones stock index was affected, dropping 60 points shortly after the quake hit. Of course, swaying office towers, cracks in masonry and frayed nerves are small potatoes compared to what we’ve been told to expect. Geologists say we’re long overdue for an earthquake comparable to ones that destroyed coastal cities in Chile and flattened much of northeastern Japan with a devastating one-two punch of earthquake followed by a tsunami. For most of us going about our day-to-day lives, that little nub of prognostication lies buried deep within our consciousness, surfacing only when we’re reminded of our apparent fate by earthquakes elsewhere. There’s not much we can do about the “big one” anyway, we reason, except hope we’re not in the wrong place when it hits. But there are things we can do to help our chances of surviving a major earthquake, like assembling an emergency kit of food, water, flashlight, battery-powered radio and first aid supplies to get through the critical early days of post-quake chaos. There should be enough supplies to stay self-sufficient for 72 hours following an earthquake, and emergency kits should be kept at home, work and in your car. Have an emergency plan in place if you and your family are separated when an earthquake strikes – know where to meet, and have an out-of-area person each family member should contact to report they are safe. Being prepared is the first step to staying alive.

sympathy will likely dissipate when taxpayers catch wind of potential costs to their own pocketbooks. To be fair, one must note this is the only example of the three that is purely profit-driven and not at all a matter of safety. Still, it seems odd that we want to protect our farmland and farmers, yet we want to restrict their ability to succeed. My sleep deprivation due train whistles is an entirely different matter. While I can appreciate that the roar of trains and the often-accompanying horn blasts can be shocking to the uninitiated, they are usually music to my ears, having been raised with the sounds of rail travel nearby – first in White Rock, then Ocean Park and finally Crescent Beach. I remember, in particular, subliminally registering the sound of the 1 a.m. run, which, I believe, sounded its horn with a couple of gentle blasts as it approached from the trestle over Mud Bay. But all good things must come to an end, and I also remember, at age 12, moving to Clearbrook – far from the tracks. For years, each night after, I awoke at 1 a.m. to the sound of silence. It was maddening, as I used those few minutes of wakefulness to reflect on just how much I instinctively craved what to me was the soothing sound of that horn. Noise to some, safety to others and, to a young child, a security blanket that helped him sleep soundly through the night. Lance Peverley is the editor of Peace Arch News.

If only they really cared Editor: Re: Call for calm in Crescent Beach, Aug. 18. Regarding the above-noted article in the Peace Arch News, may I state my total disgust that such incidents can occur in our home area. I don’t know if lowlifes, like the
ones involved in this attack, are a result of uncaring parenting, a governmental penal system that is too weak, wimpy, and incompetent, or all of the above. I do know that during the ’40s to the ’70s, the Greater Vancouver Lower Mainland and outlying communities – such as White Rock, Crescent Beach, West Vancouver and others – were quiet, safe, happy and inhabited by normal, happy, polite, caring, people whose main concerns were raising normal,
happy, polite, caring families. Since these punks seem to have opportunity to act in any foul, disgusting manner they choose, the system of penalty seems to need some revisiting to past times. The ridiculous practice of protecting these “children” from severe punishment and, heaven forbid, printing their names in the given media, seems folly, to say the least. Perhaps it would be a succinct penalty to publicly reduce their
overly keen egos with public paddling. It is sure to deflate highend egos and set their feet back into the reality of a calm, normally functioning society. Several hundred hours of community service might follow. Let’s stop pampering these useless scumballs and get them to work. The Canadian army comes to mind. If only our governments really, really cared. P.J. Robertson, White Rock
HST vote lauded Editor: Re: Surrey ridings divided over HST, Aug. 30. Kudos to Labour Minister Stephanie Cadieux, of the defeated Liberal HST group, for having the sensibility of her job to comment responsibly on the fact that clearly people have spoken and are upset at the government – a government that lied in putting the HST after being re-elected on a platform that clearly said they would not do that, then followed it up by lying even more in their HST referendum signage, which proclaimed the HST at 10 per cent, rather than the current 12 per cent. As Churchill said, “A lie spoken, and not responded to, becomes truth.” Shame on the government for having the gall to reinforce their earlier poor judgment, and shame on Elections BC, which, far from the guidelines that clearly stated that false political advertising would not be allowed much less tolerated, stood on the sideline and allowed this disgraceful signage to continue. No surprise that perennial dour Finance Minister Kevin Falcon refused to even comment. A wise adage in politics is we get the government we deserve. Let us hope John Q. Public will keep up even half the attentiveness as the government actions in taking an inordinate amount of time –18 months – to rescind what they should not have contemplated in the first place. Steven Faraher-Amidon, Surrey Q I – as one who voted to keep the HST – am now so very relieved that the HST was voted out. In retrospect, I am only now realizing that the reason I voted to keep the HST was simple – I was bullied by people who claim to have more power, more knowledge and more authority than myself. It takes a lot of courage to stand up to people in such formal authority when they are wrong. And the HST was wrong. The government tried everything in the bully handbook to force this HST through, including trickery, intimidation, manipulation and even resorting to threats, such as the $1.6-billion payback. Whatever the consequences are of returning to a GST/PST system, returning to our original tax system

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon explains steps for reinstating the retail provincial sales tax for March 2013. is the right thing to do. There is absolutely no reason why people should be paying the same amount of tax for the necessities of life – like restaurant bills and clothing – as they are paying for non-necessities of life, like a new plasma TV. In this way, the PST/GST system has always allowed the poorer people some relief. Maybe it is a bit more paperwork, but there needs to be some kind of exception allowance that the HST did not incorporate. In the end, the HST was recognized as what it truly was, a government money-grab. Even though I didn’t have the courage to vote the HST out, I want to thank the people who did. This really has been a victory for ethics in our province. Way to go, people, for voting out this screwed-up tax. Colin Fletcher, White Rock Q Previous to the HST referendum, the B.C. government had repeatedly pledged to reduce the 12 per cent HST by two per cent if voters opted to keep the ‘amalgamated’ federal/ provincial HST. Unfortunately, subsequent to this ‘commitment,’ there was next to nothing reported by most of the province’s and Canada’s major news media outlets regarding exactly what sort of effect this would have had, if implemented, on B.C.’s finances. In reality, what a two per cent reduction in the HST would have meant for this province’s finance ministry was an approximately 30 per cent reduction in B.C.’s $4.8-$5.7 billion in annual sales-tax revenues. Why? Because the 12 per cent HST generates two separate revenue streams: a seven per cent stream that goes to the B.C. government,
and a five per cent stream that goes to the federal government. B.C. can only reduce – or raise – the level of its portion of the HST. So, if the B.C. government had lowered its seven per cent portion to five per cent, that’s two-sevenths – about 30 per cent, or between $1.6 billion and $1.9 billion that the B.C. government would not have received, if the HST referendum had failed, and if the B.C. government had, indeed, kept their word. Is B.C. better off with the seven per cent PST and five per cent GST? We are better off with a populace that has the integrity to not be bribed into endorsing what was an egregious breach-of-the-public’s trust and two-facedness by members of the provincial government. Roderick V. Louis, White Rock Q I, a White Rock entrepreneur and formerly a Socred MLA candidate for Surrey-Green Timbers, celebrated the death of the B.C. HST with friends in a restaurant on the waterfront of Marine Drive. I was happy to see all the food business owners celebrating the good news as well. It was insane the way Liberals have shackled the HST on food restaurants. I have experienced the pressure on families with two or four kids coming to my premise to eat lunch or have an ice cream, to add 12 per cent tax on the bill. We have to go back to the previous system; we don’t have to pay tax in food or utility bills. The HST does not benefit any ordinary British Columbians. The Liberals, during the 2009 campaign, explicitly told voters it was not going to harmonize the GST and PST tax. Nine months later, the
HST was introduced by an extremely unpopular Gordon Campbell, who was perceived to have lied to British Columbians about his intentions regarding the tax. So, the entire debacle is a triumph of democracy and a failure of leadership for the Liberals. They will never recover the trust of voters. It took a leader of great vision to help to obtain a triumph of democracy in B.C. Congratulations to Bill Vander Zalm for his tenacity, hard work and perseverance to end the HST. Today, he shine like a star. Victoria Kedzierski, White Rock
New opportunity An open letter to BC Liberal and New Democrat Party MLAs. There has already been a lot of gloating and pouting in the hours since the referendum results. You lost. We won. Get over it. There has been a lot of handwringing about the cost. This too is just another form of pouting. With the HST on its way out, why don’t we all stop, take a breath and recognize this as an opportunity of our own making. • Let’s use this as an opportunity to address the problems in the PST; • Let’s use this as an opportunity to rationalize government services and expectations of government; • Let’s use this as an opportunity to review what government charges for royalties on natural resources. • Let’s use more of the most precious non-renewable resource – the creativity of all British Columbians, and not just a bunch a academic economists – to produce a PST for the 21st century.

A new poll shows B.C. drivers overwhelmingly believe talking or texting behind the wheel on a mobile phone is extremely dangerous. Yet 16 per cent admit talking recently on a handheld phone and nine per cent admit they texted or emailed while driving. The Ipsos Reid survey conducted for ICBC found 87 per cent of respondents believe texting or emailing while driving is one of the riskiest behaviours on the road and 50 per cent believe talking on a handheld phone is as risky â??It really causes as drunk driving. The results come devastation on after RCMP said they our road ways.â?ž ticketed 2,043 Lower Insp. Norm Gaumont Mainland drivers over a six-week period this summer – nearly twice as many as the 1,197 tickets for $167 issued in the same period in 2010. RCMP Insp. Norm Gaumont said the ticket blitz showed lots of people continue to text or talk on their phones – even 18 months after B.C. brought in its distracted driving law. “It’s a new phenomenon that’s come upon us – a young generation that are really tied to their devices and they can’t let them go,â€? he said. “I see it every day.

More than half of drivers surveyed in the Ipsos poll reported seeing other drivers break the ban on handheld device use several times a day. The top excuses for using a hand-held phone while driving? Forty-two per cent said it was a very short call or they use the speaker function. Others said they pulled over after answer-

Still others said they don’t have a handsfree system or that “it’s simply a force of habit.� “Many people don’t realize that it’s also illegal to take a call or text while waiting in traffic or stopped for a red light,� said Fiona Temple, ICBC’s director of road safety. “You lose 50 per cent of what’s going on around you when you’re talking or texting on a hand-held device.

When the city proposed to demolish the house, the local historical society challenged the decision, resulting in the formation of a fact-finding committee to determine the historical value of the building. Research found very little remained of the original building, and no former owner named Larsen (the man rumoured to have used the house to shelter German spies smuggled into the United States during the First World War). The house was razed in 1979, a year after Irene’s death. A few more stories about Renee bear repeating. A friend remembered visiting her one day and having to step over a log in Renee’s living room.

Fox foundation shells out $30 million for research Janis Warren
WE OPEN LL FOR FAA BOUR
Black Press
The 30th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run proved to be a financial boon for the foundation named for the Port Coquitlam hero. According to its annual audited report, released to Black Press last month, the Terry Fox Foundation collected $28.7 million in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011. The 2011 revenue – from domestic and international donations as well as investment income, merchandise sales, bequests, government grants and royalties – was up more than $3.3 million over the previous year. But the expenses for the 23-year-old family-run foundation also rose last year – $683,147 more than in 2010, with most of that going towards fundraising efforts to collect cash for the organization’s sole cause: cancer research. The financial statements show fundraising cost $2.8 million in the last fiscal year versus $2.3 million the year before. Of the $2.8 million, $1.6 million was paid to employees whose main job was to bring in money. For every dollar donated, 15 per cent goes to administrating and fundraising for the Chilliwack-based foundation, a two per cent increase over the last three years. In July, the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) was criticized for spending more on fundraising campaigns and administrative costs than on actual cancer research, advocacy programs and support. A CBC report showed CCS spent 40 per cent of its funds on research in 2000 but, this year, that number dropped to 22 per cent.

The Terry Fox Run celebrated its 30 year anniversary in 2010. This year’s run takes place Sunday Sept. 18 at locations across Canada. The Terry Fox Foundation’s financial statements indicate $32 million was distributed over the past year: • $21 million to Canadian Cancer Society; • $6 million to the Terry Fox Research Institute (TFRI); • $1.1 million to international cancer research groups; and • $4.1 million to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). All of that giving left a $9.2-million deficit. “It doesn’t concern us that we show a deficit at the end of the year. We just want to get the money out to the groups,” said national director Brett Kohli, noting the foundation’s assets stand at around $93 million. Kohli also said distributions are up more than $11 million over the previous year. Set up in 2007, the TFRI focuses on cancer research projects; the foundation has committed $50 million for its programs and operations and, to
date, it has provided $15 million to TFRI. In past years, the foundation’s cash was directed to the National Cancer Institute of Canada (NCIC) but, two years ago, the NCIC amalgamated with CCS. Since then, the Terry Fox Foundation has agreed to let CCS administer the multiyear grants to NCIC until 2015. As well, CIHR now administers certain research programs for the foundation. To date, more than $500 million has been raised worldwide for cancer research in Fox’s name through the annual Terry Fox Run. • The 31st annual Terry Fox Run will be held across the country on Sunday, Sept. 18, including at South Surrey Athletic Park (registration at 8 a.m.), Cloverdale Legion (registration at 9 a.m.) and Surrey Arts Centre (registration at 8 a.m.) For more information, visit www.terryfoxrun.org

Since this is the 10-year anniversary of that event, Surrey firefighters will conduct a ceremony in honour of their U.S. colleagues. “We will always remember the response of firefighters on Sept.11, 2001, and never forget the sacrifices they made,” said Surrey Fire Fighters’ Association president Chris Keon in a news release. “The 290,000 members of the International Association of Fire Fighters, with the direction of FDNY members, have decided that Sept. 11 will always be a Day of Remembrance for fallen firefighters everywhere.” Many firefighters perished in the past year from traumatic incidents and even more have succumbed to occupational-related illness such as heart and lung disease and occupational cancers. “Our ceremony is dedicated to those who have fallen and to those who carry on,” Keon said. This year’s ceremony will muster at the west end of Holland Park (near Old Yale Road and Whalley Ring Road) near the new statue. The ceremony will
start at 9 a.m. There will be a few brief comments from Keon and a wreath presented by the honour guard. All other Surrey fire stations will conduct a minute of silence at 9:11 a.m. to allow
for those on duty, who cannot make it to the ceremony at Holland Park, to participate in the day of remembrance. The ceremony is open to all uniformed personnel from
emergency services and invited guests to participate, and open to members of the public to attend. For more information, call Keon at 604-3091755. -Black Press

Disease, not sea lice, main threat: researcher
Reports split on aquaculture risk
Q
Call an ing d Outstan Agent!
Jeff Nagel Black Press
Two researchers hired by the Cohen Inquiry have come to differing conclusions on the likelihood commercial salmon farms are seriously harming the Fraser River sockeye run. SFU biologist Dr. Larry Dill concluded the evidence suggests the growth in fish farm production and the decline in sockeye stocks are linked, likely in concert with other marine factors. He found the spread of disease is the most likely factor – not sea lice infestations, escaping farmed salmon or waste discharged from the farms, such as uneaten food or chemicals. The potential damage to juvenile sockeye from the large numbers of penned Atlantic salmon they pass in the Broughton Archipelago might seem like common sense, Dill testified Monday before the commission into the decline of sockeye stocks, but stressed his findings are far from conclusive. “The evidence for that is there, but it’s fairly weak and uncertain,” he said. “Common sense is not always a good guide to science.” Dill said the aquaculture industry adds new risks for migrating wild stocks. The farms make it much easier for different incoming or outgoing generations of sockeye to pass pathogens back and forth, he said. Dill also said the huge number of fish being farmed leads to bio-magnification, where large numbers of parasites can build up, and more virulent strains of pathogens can evolve. Dr. Don Noakes, a Thomson Rivers University professor, penned a second paper commissioned by the inquiry, and concluded none of the risk factors associated with fish farms is likely to have damaged sockeye runs and found no link between them. He said he has concerns about the interpretation of data from studies examining the possible link between sea lice and salmon in the Discovery Islands, which he called unlikely. Monday, Noakes was pressed to admit his findings were “speculative” and water them down. “It’s my assessment,” he maintained. “I haven’t heard anything to convince me otherwise.” The inquiry heard that three million

Sockeye run up the Adams River. Atlantic salmon die each year in the floating net pens between northern Vancouver Island and the mainland, and that up to 600,000 perish from disease. Previously, the inquiry heard geneticist Kristi Miller argue a newly detected virus could be a major factor behind the sockeye die-off, but she also conceded the evidence so far does not suggest aquaculture is directly responsible. Dill, Noakes and two other researchers testifying Monday agreed that wild sockeye and the aquaculture industry should be able to safely co-exist, if the farms are managed properly. Lawyers for the provincial government agreed Monday to release provincial audits of salmon farms. That was a reversal from last week, when the provincial representative at the inquiry argued the release would not be in the public interest and could have a chilling effect on voluntary disclosure of disease outbreaks. “I don’t think anybody bought that,” said Watershed Watch Salmon Society executive director Craig Orr, who said the provincial concession was a relief to many inquiry participants. “It’s really important to have the audited data to examine to see whether there are problems in the data submitted by the farmers.” Aquaculture remains the focus of the sockeye commission hearings until at least Sept. 8, before turning to issues such as water temperatures, and the priorities of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The judicial inquiry, led by retired Judge Bruce Cohen, was called by the federal government after less than 1.5 million sockeye returned in 2009. More than 10 million were expected.

Back to School‌Back to Work! Save on supplies with simple tips
E
very year parents spend signiďŹ cant amounts of money on school expenses. While there’s not much parents can do about tuition, there are ways to save on additional expenses, including clothing. Restocking a student’s wardrobe can be costly, but savvy Moms and Dads can lessen the blow in a variety of ways. Although students may not yet be ready to head back to class, both parents and children may not be looking forward to school shopping for a number of reasons. From the amount we spend each year to time and energy spent battling crowded shopping centres, when we’d rather be enjoying the last few weeks of summer, it’s no wonder back-to-school shopping can be dreaded by parents and students alike. Whether school shopping is fun or feared, it’s a necessity for parents and kids alike. And it doesn’t have to break the bank – with a little planning and smart shopping strategies. Here are some tips to make the process a bit easier and help parents save money as well. • Assess what is already on hand. Shopping doesn’t have to mean creating an entirely new wardrobe from scratch. It often means supplementing existing clothing with new pieces that can make things look fresh. Unless a child has entirely outgrown pants and shirts from last year, chances are there will be a number of pieces that are still usable and appropriate. Take a day or two to go through kids’ wardrobes and set aside items that can be used for school. Make a list of new items to purchase. • Establish a budget. Set a limit as to how much will see page 24

Taking out cash from the bank and spending only what is in hand may make shoppers less likely to overspend or turn to credit cards for purchases. • Stock up on the basics. New undergarments and socks will be needed. Aim for about 10 to 12 pairs of each. Shoes are one element of a wardrobe that may need to be entirely new. Active children tend to wear out shoes quickly. One pair of sneakers and one pair of dressier shoes, like oxfords, or ballet flats for girls, may be adequate. • Shop sales. If the weather is warm, it’s possible to save money on clearance T-shirts and shorts that stores are putting on sale to make room for next season’s items.

Not every item in a child’s wardrobe has to be trendy. Layering items, such as T-shirts, can often be picked up for a discount in stores, whereas outer items, like jeans or some shirts, can be picked up from the trendier stores. Shop their sales and see if they offer coupons by signing up to loyalty Web sites. • Go early in the day. Although it may be a challenge get the kids up and dressed to visit stores
when they’re in vacation mode, arriving early means thinner crowds and refreshed children. Kids who are tired or hungry can be prone to meltdowns. Pack snacks and drinks to be on the safe side. Some stores offer early bird special sales, which can make shopping once the doors open even more advantageous. Back-to-school shopping may signal the end of vacation time, but you can make the most of the opportunity to save and reduce stress by making smart shopping choices.

The right backpack can have a big impact The purchase of a backpack at the beginning of a new school year is an important one. When kids tote books and gear back and forth from school, their backs can suffer the consequences, including muscle strain that induces headaches and sore necks. Here are a few rules to follow to help your child avoid backpack-related health problems. The quality of the backpack is much more important than a fashionable brand name. Backpacks have to be replaced often because of the changing size of their owners, and since they will likely only be used for a year or two, there’s no need to pay astronomical prices. Make sure your child’s backpack is the appropriate size for their height. It shouldn’t exceed the width of the child’s back, nor the height of the shoulders. Packs that are too big can cause back problems because of improper distribution of weight through the straps. Even for an older child, accompany him to choose a backpack so you can make sure it fits. The backpack must be well-adjusted, fitting closely to the child’s back. It should be attached high on the shoulders and be equipped with padded straps large enough to spread the weight evenly. In addition, the straps should always

Making sure your child’s backpack fits properly and isn’t overloaded is essential in preventing back and neck problems. be easy to adjust. If the bag has plenty of compartments, your child will be able to spread the weight evenly throughout the backpack and reduce discomfort in the back and shoulders. The most important thing is to not overload the backpack, which should only be used to carry essential items back and forth to school.

In addition to new and creative lunch items, by turning lunch preparation into a family affair, children will be more tempted to taste a bean salad or a spinach pizza if they helped out with making it. To keep things varied, get into the habit of researching lunchbox possibilities: take note of interesting recipes in newspapers and magazines, help yourself to the free recipe cards provided by grocery stores, and visit specialized Internet sites. By putting forth the extra effort to make lunches exciting and diverse, your children – and your wallet – will thank you in the long run.

Are you and your kids fed up with insipid lunches? Is your family threatening to strike over the perennial ham and cheese sandwich with carrot sticks? Are they pleading for money to eat at the school cafeteria? Are you spending most of your own pocket money on snack bar meals? Don’t despair – it is possible and easy to make your lunches more diverse and appetizing for the whole family. First of all, get ready to step out of your comfort zone of sandwich, veggie sticks, and an apple or banana. An easy way to create variety is by changing the kind of bread you use. Trade in traditional sliced bread for Indian naan bread or half a pita bread. Try adding a new kind of cheese to sandwiches; feta is a delicious salty cheese that many young people discover they like. You can also prepare rice or vermicelli salads with finely diced raw or leftover vegetables and a yummy vinaigrette. Check the weekly specials at the grocery store; when berries or unique fruits and vegetables are on sale, give them a try. Sliced zucchini makes a nice substitute for cucumber, and avocado halves eaten with a spoon out of the shell make a creamy, healthy vegetable alternative. Try mixing flavours to add novelty to familiar foods – put a few walnut halves, dried cranberries, or mango slices in a chicken salad sandwich. The taste of a roast beef sandwich is

BC Ferries considers sailing, staff reductions

REP Softball Tryouts Fastp Surrey Storm Fastpitch is an internationally recognize recognized Rep softball club. Our athletes athlete and teams represent some of the top fastpitch players in the province. You can be a par part of it too!
Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – Ferry traffic is down this year and is not expected to recover any time soon, so BC Ferries is considering a plan to cut hundreds of sailings to save money. BC Ferries issued its first-quarter results last week, showing a decline of 3.3 per cent in vehicle traffic and 2.9 per cent in passengers, compared to the same quarter last year. That’s a 20-year low for the spring period, and the first year-to-year decline in that quarter in several years. BC Ferries had been expecting that higher costs and lower traffic would lead to a net loss of about $20 million this fiscal year, but revenues have fallen more than expected. “Recently, we have seen a further erosion of traffic and we do not anticipate a turnaround in the foreseeable future,” CEO David Hahn said in a statement released for the corporation’s annual meeting in Vancouver. “Therefore, the year-end loss could be significantly higher.” A review of all BC Ferries

A hiring freeze and reduced hours for casual staff are likely, but layoffs of full-time staff are not, Hahn said. Premier Christy Clark said an ongoing independent review of ferry operations should address “structural problems.” Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom put a cap on ferry fare increases this spring, one of several moves billed as part of
Clark’s “families first” agenda. Proposed fare increases of up to eight per cent on northern and smaller routes were capped at 4.15 per cent, while Gord Macatee, the new B.C. Ferry Commissioner, reviews rates and makes recommendations to the government by early 2012. Lekstrom said the review of ferries will examine the current public subsidy, and legislated rules such as minimum numbers of sailings and a restriction on using revenue from busier routes to subsidize smaller ones.

news Inquiry head releases statements to attorney general
Oppal denies pre-judging missing women findings Jeff Nagel Black Press
Missing Women Inquiry head Wally Oppal denied this week he has made up his mind that police bungled their investigation of serial killer Robert Pickton or that Crown was wrong to drop charges of attempted murder against him in 1997. His statement, released Monday, was an attempt to clarify comments he made to the attorney general in a June 30 letter and a July 5 voicemail pressing for increased funding for groups representing women and First Nations. Oppal said then-attorney general Barry Penner’s deputy raised concerns July 15 that he may have pre-judged key questions. Pickton’s 1997 arrest came after a naked and badly bleeding sex trade worker escaped from his Port Coquitlam farm – five years before he was charged with murdering multiple women from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. If charges had not been stayed in 1998, Oppal said in the letter, “it is clear that the murder of a number of missing women would have been avoided.” He said in the statement he did

For some of the artists, the fibre content has been the canvas board itself, while others have incorporated a wide variety of threads and textiles into their compositions. Although Ballard set rules for a certain colour balance and border approach designed to make each board dovetail with the others and fit into the overall design, she has given the artists a free hand in terms of style and subject matter. Just how the diverse elements will work with each other is an element of suspense that will only be dispelled when viewers see the entire exhibit, although it’s a fair bet the FiberFusion mural will demand lengthy and detailed viewing to discover all the riches in each piece of the puzzle. And the juxtaposition of elements will add an unpredictable dimension to the FiberFusion mural, Ballard agreed. For all the heartaches and emotional stress involved in co-ordinating such an international effort, the final product has been worth it, Ballard maintains – and true to the artistic process. “The final product becomes

The White Rock-South Surrey Titans peewee team won big in Langley during their first outing of the season last month. The team consisting of 10- and 11-year-olds took first place at the Langley Minor Football League Golden Helmet Tournament held at McLeod Stadium Aug. 20. In four games, the Titans outscored their opponents 48-6. Eduardo Gonzalez, 11, led the way with four touchdowns. Tight-end Ethan Figueroa,
full-back Daniel Damron and running backs Johnny Sutherland and Noah Brown (all 11) also contributed points. Gonzalez was also a defensive standout along with 11-yearold defensive half-backs Jarod Roberson and Tyrese JeysMorrison (QB sack) and 10-yearold cornerbacks Tyson Graham and Andrew Hunt. Quarterback Jaxon Russell, 11, provided steady generalship throughout the four games, while Thomas Van Egmond, 11, finished strong.
In game one of their tournament the Titans beat Langley 12-0. Gonzalez made two touchdown runs completing for 22 yards. The team’s second game resulted in a 6-6 tie with Royal City. Gonzalez completed a five-yard TD run earlier in the game to keep White Rock-South Surrey in trophy contention. The team went back to their winning ways in game three with a 12-0 rollover against Coquitlam. Sutherland completed a 35-yard interception return for the Titan’s first touchdown. Damron finished
the rout on a 73-yard end-zone run. The tournament ended with the Titans taking the trophy by beating Mission 18-0. Touchdowns came from Brown, Gonzalez and Figueroa – who ran in for five yards off a pass from Russell. Next up for the Titans is their season opener Sunday. All five Titans’ teams will be opening the Vancouver Mainland Football League season at the South Surrey Athletic Park. The first game kicks off at 9 a.m.

White Rock weightlifter Christine Girard’s monster efforts at the Ogopogo weightlifting championships in Kelowna last weekend have earned her the top spot on the Canadian national women’s team and a trip to the Pan-American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico this October. Girard placed first in her 63-kg weight class, beating out two dozen other women for the coveted position on the women’s national team. She was competing against other female athletes from across the country to represent Canada at the Pan-Am Games. “It was a bit challenging. We were all fighting for the one spot,” Girard told Peace Arch News. The Pan-Am Games are a test for the World Championships to be held in Paris in November. Finishing well at the Worlds means qualifying for the 2012 London Olympics Games. “My goal is the podium,” she said. “It will be the first time that a female Canadian Olympic weightlifter will have a medal at the Olympics. It will be historic.” Girard competed for Canada at the 2008 Olympic Games in Bejiing – finishing fourth overall.

Senior hockey league marks 15th anniversary Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
When the White Rock Senior Hockey League first hit the ice at Centennial Arena, league founder and organizer Brian Brown didn’t figure it would expand much past the four teams that took part in the inaugural season. Now, 15 years later, he’s very happy to have been wrong. When the WRSHL season begins next month, it will boast 24 teams and 500 players, in three divisions, playing out of two cities. This year, the league expanded to Langley’s Walnut Grove Sportsplex, and added three Langley teams, the Lords, Fraser Sockeye and Beavers. “It’s been really fun being part of this league since the beginning. We’ve worked really hard to get it to this point,” Brown said. “It’s funny to think that way back in the day, we started with just four (teams). I never thought it’d get bigger than that.” Brown, who works for the Township of Langley – and is a former iceman in White Rock – said the league began so local players would have a chance to play close to home. From the beginning, the league has also had a no-tolerance policy for on-ice shenanigans, which, Brown said, is something that appeals to men who are looking to enjoy a clean, fastpaced game. “I always say that our league is more of a gentlemen’s club. We don’t want a bunch of roughnecks out there,” he said, adding that they’ve had to kick a handful of overly agressive players out of the league over the years. “A lot of them come back begging to be allowed to play again, because they realize how good of a league we’ve got here, and they really enjoyed it.” The league also tallies penalty infractions and once a player accumulates a certain amount of penalties on the season, they are no longer permitted to play. Many players who sign up to play, Brown said, usually end up recruiting friends to join once they see what the league is like. “That (word-of-
mouth) has really per week – that runs helped us balloon up,” from Sept. 10 until he said. “And once guys Feb. 19. A seasonsign up, they usually ending tournament is don’t leave.” held after The league is ❝We don’t want the regular open to players season ends. a bunch of Cost to play 30 years old roughnecks out is $580 per and older, player, which and players there.❞ under 30 are includes a Brian Brown permitted uniform league founder rental.

The football field at Earl Marriott Secondary is set to be reopened with doubleheader games next week, after being closed for renovations for two years.

Saturday
EMS field set to reopen posed to be ready in time for last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fall sports schedule, but the grass did not grow in time, and the winter weather further took its toll on the surface, thus pushing the opening date back. The entire project was expected to cost between $800,000 and $1 million. Junior and senior team practice began earlier this week at EMS. More information is available online, at www.earlmarriottfootball.com or at the school office.

sports Surrey star signs Samantha Kennedy has signed a letter of intent to join the track and field team at Marquette University in Milwaukee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Throughout the recruiting process Sam has felt like a natural fit for our program and my coaching style, and will be a great addition to our team,â&#x20AC;? said Mike Koenning, who serves as Marquetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throws coach. Kennedy won a gold medal in the hammer throw at the B.C. High School Track and Field Championships in June with a throw of 51.91 metres. An honour roll student at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary, Kennedy placed second at the Canadian Junior Championships last month.

Hellaby, Cecil Wilfred (Cec) March 19, 1923 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Aug. 29, 2011
Passed away peacefully at Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock on August 29, 2011 in the presence of his loving family. Born 3/19/23 at Kerrobert, Sask and raised in Red Willow, Alberta. At the age of 18 Cec joined the Air Force serving overseas for four years. While overseas Cec met and married his wife Dora and enjoyed 60 wonderful years until her passing in 2004. After the war, they settled in Calgary and Cecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in cars moved him toward the auto industry. He started with General Motors and Chrysler and ďŹ nally joined Toyota in its infancy, culminating in a position on the board of directors of Toyota Canada. He was eventually involved in the set up of the Toyota Aluminium Wheel Plant in Delta (Captin) as Vice President and General Manager. He loved his work and retired from Toyota after a very fulďŹ lling 28 year career. Cec was a positive, energetic man with many passions including travel, his motorhome, photography, and later woodworking. He walked the beach and rode his bike to the very end and did not waste one minute of his 88 years. He considered himself to be the luckiest man in the world. He will be sadly missed by his daughter, Jean Papineau (Richard), two granddaughters, Kelly Planting (Casey) and Colleen James (Mark) and three great-grandchildren, Ryan Planting, Jessica James and Joshua James, all of Ontario, and his sister Doris Scharf of Calgary. He was also pre-deceased by one sister, Ruth Waychick. In recent years Cec was fortunate to have enjoyed the love and companionship of his dear friend Margaret Letcher who will also miss him very much. Many thanks to Dr. Gibbings, Dr. Pretty, the medical staff at the cancer clinic and especially the nurses at Peace Arch Hospital for their kindness and care. We will welcome friends at his home for a celebration of his life on Friday Sept. 2, 2011 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm (No funeral by request).
