House-arrest conditions ‘more severe’ because of 1998 Sea Festival Society fraud conviction

Taylor pleads guilty to breach of trust Tom Fletcher Black Press

James Taylor conditional sentence

VICTORIA – A former Fraser Health technology manager has been handed a one-year conditional sentence and a year’s probation for improperly accepting benefits from a contractor supplying electronic health-care systems to hospitals. James Roy Taylor, 64, was charged in 2010 along with an Abbotsford doctor and a former senior official in the B.C.

health ministry. Taylor pleaded guilty Tuesday in Victoria provincial court to one count of breach of trust. Three other charges were withdrawn. Special prosecutor John Waddell recommended the sentence, which begins with six months of house arrest, where Taylor will only be allowed to leave his South Surrey home between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. for work or other activities approved by his probation supervisor. Taylor was also fined $2,000, the value

of a stay at a Kelowna condominium he accepted as a benefit without telling his supervisors. He must also perform 175 hours of community service. Waddell said the house-arrest conditions are more severe than for others charged in the case because Taylor has a previous conviction for fraud, related to the disappearance of $66,000 from the White Rock Sea Festival Society when Taylor was its president in 1998. Ron Danderfer, former assistant dep-

uty minister of health responsible for technology, pleaded guilty in July to one charge of breach of trust. Danderfer and Taylor both admitted accepting a benefit from Jonathan Burns, the Abbotsford doctor who pleaded guilty in February to two charges in the case. All were originally charged with multiple counts, including fraud on government and breach of trust by a public official. see page 4

Locked in after-hours

Night at the museum for two guests Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

When Joan Dyke visited White Rock Museum & Archives with her daughter Nancy Riemersma Saturday, she planned to explore history, not make it. But the latter is just what happened, after the pair were inadvertently locked inside the 14970 Marine Dr. facility for nearly two hours. “It’s not something that has ever happened before in the history of the museum,” executive director Sharon Oldaker said Tuesday. “Obviously, we’ll be reviewing our policies and will be discussing procedures with our staff.” Dyke and Riemersma told Peace Arch News they discovered their predicament shortly after 5 p.m. Sept. 3, when they pushed open the door that connects the museum gallery to the lobby, and the alarm went off. The museum – which last month celebrated a launch after remodelling – closed at 5 p.m. No one had come around to warn them the facility was closing, and the lights were never turned off, they said. Efforts to alert someone to the problem proved frustrating, they added. Riemersma made multiple see page 4

Barn fire threatens neighbours’ homes

‘It could’ve taken the cul-de-sac out’ A late-night fire in South Surrey killed 11 chickens and destroyed an old barn Friday night, but neighbours say the potential for much greater damage was there. Firefighters were alerted to the blaze in the 16200-block of 10 Avenue at 8:40 p.m. Sept. 2. Neighbour Graeme Lempriere said he called 911 after investigating an orange glow coming through his window. From his back deck, he discovered the fire was barely 15 feet from his house, and threatening a large greenbelt.

Worried it could ignite the whole forest – and his home – Lempriere said he used a garden hose to keep the blaze at bay and watched as it destroyed a chicken coop and an old barn, the latter of which housed a car. Trees around the buildings also caught fire, he said. “It was a huge rager,” Lempriere said. “It could’ve taken the whole cul-de-sac out. “I immediately told my family to get out of the house because I thought it was going to jump over the fence. (Debris) was catching so

fast, I thought it was going to spread for sure.” Fire Chief Ron Cross said the chicken coop was “fully involved” upon the fire crews’ arrival. Noting an investigation is ongoing, Cross would not speculate on how the fire started. However, Lempriere said police told him the cause was electrical. A police report notes the blaze was not suspicious and that a single light bulb in the coop may have short-circuited. - Tracy Holmes

news Border delays improved for truck drivers

9-11 security measures ease their ride Maria Spitale-Leisk Black Press

Increased security at the Pacific Highway crossing after 9-11 has been a blessing in disguise, according to a former manager for the largest freight carrier in North America. John Bourbonniere, who retired as Western Canada manager for Yellow Transportation, now YRC Reimer, said changes to procedures have actually streamlined the processing of cross-border shipments. Ten years ago, in the months leading up to Sept. 11, 2001, the talk was of loosening the regulations for cross-border commerce. The plan was to modernize the system, making it easier for commercial traffic to cross the U.S.-Canada border, Bourbonniere said. “And when (9-11) happened, obviously that went off the charts and (border security) really clamped down,” he recalled. But while the increased security may have seemed more restrictive, it has actually been positive for truckers, he noted.

In the years prior to 9-11, his transport drivers faced an onerous procedure at the Pacific Highway crossing at 176 Street in Surrey. Drivers would park their semi-trailers on the Canadian side, then walk to the U.S. side to drop off a shipping manifest to each individual customs broker, of which there were 20 at the time. At the end of the line, the drivers would have to retrace their steps to pick up the processed documents from each office. Only then could they head back to their trucks to get in line for primary inspection. But after 9-11 – in response to the threat of terrorism – the U.S. and Canadian governments took a 180-degree turn, introducing the FAST (Free And Secure Trade) program. Commercial drivers who apply for a FAST card – vetted by the FBI and RCMP – are prescreened for expedited entry. “The good thing about (FAST) was that you were really assured that these drivers had clean driving records; no police issues,”

John Bourbonniere at the border crossing. Bourbonniere said. The downside was the company lost some drivers who elected not to apply for the FAST program, he noted. “You don’t know whether that is because of the delays involved, or the extra scrutiny the drivers didn’t want, or if in fact they knew that there was something else in their background that would not allow them to get one.” Unscreened drivers had to get in the regu-

lar, non-FAST, lanes, he said. “Some people actually started calling the general lineup ‘the rot line’.” But such measures have led to a steady speeding up of the process at the Pacific Highway crossing, which, as the third-largest commercial port in Canada, clears an average of 50,000 commercial vehicles per month. In 2004-2005, for example, it took approximately 6.8 minutes for commercial vehicles heading north at Pacific Highway to reach the primary inspection booth, according to Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) spokesperson Faith St. John. In the 2010-2011 reporting year, that number decreased to 5.74 minutes. And over the next 18 months, St. John said, CBSA will be changing the way commercial goods coming into Canada are screened and processed through a new system, eManifest. “When fully implemented, eManifest will be a virtually paperless process that starts before shipments even reach the border.”

Three collisions leave two dead, one critically injured

Series of deadly crashes in Surrey Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Two people are dead and another is clinging to life after three separate accidents on Surrey roads Tuesday. At 3:30 p.m., a 17-year-old youth was killed when he was hit by a transport truck on a Surrey highway. Emergency personnel responded to a call of a pedestrian struck in the 13600-block of Highway 10. Surrey RCMP confirmed the male pedestrian was hit by a semi truck that was travelling east on Highway 10. It’s thought the victim may have intentionally walked into traffic, as police say witnesses report he was seen making unusual movements and was crouching in front of the oncoming truck. An air ambulance was called to the scene but left with no patient shortly after landing. The highway was closed to traffic eastbound

In a separate incident Tuesday, a 25-yearold woman was struck while cycling near 148 Street and 96 Avenue at about 7 p.m. and suffered life-threatening injuries. The woman was heading southbound on 148 Street, and a Honda was heading westbound on

96 Avenue. Surrey RCMP are trying to determine if the Honda ran a red light before striking the cyclist. Some witness accounts indicate the light was green for the cyclist, police say. The woman suffered serious head injuries. Then at 8:30 p.m., a Honda CRX was seen driving erratically heading southbound on 132 Street, when it’s believed to have run a red light at 88 Avenue. It was T-boned by a Nissan Pathfinder, which was heading eastbound on 88 Avenue. The CRX’s 32-year-old passenger was killed. The driver of the CRX then fled on foot and was later apprehended by police. He is being held on outstanding warrants. Police are trying to determine if drugs and/or alcohol were factors in that accident. Police say Tuesday was an extremely unfortunate day on Surrey roads and are reminding people to use care and attention when driving. “It was a very tragic unfolding of events.”

Almost as quickly as it was announced, Team White Rock – an electoral organization planning to field five candidates in the upcoming municipal election – has been shelved. Wayne Baldwin, a former city manager and one of the slate’s organizers, confirmed this week those who had planned to run under the Team White Rock banner are now going to stand as ❝People independent candidates. in White “Team White Rock aren’t Rock is not going to run a slate,” receptive to Baldwin said slates and are Tuesday, noting somewhat the decision was made last week- mistrustful of them.❞ end. Baldwin told Peace Arch News last month that Team White Rock candidates – himself, former councillor Cliff Annable and Brad Forster, husband of former White Rock mayor Judy Forster – were united in their call for good governance. The decision to run independently hasn’t affected that position, he said. Supporters’ opinion of slates, however, drove the decision to abandon Team White Rock. “People in White Rock aren’t receptive to slates and are somewhat mistrustful of them,” Baldwin said. “Rather than try to muddy the water, we thought we’d go as individuals.” In a letter to those who signed support, Baldwin, Annable and Forster say they remain committed to the team’s vision and values. - Tracy Holmes

30 invoices totalled $251,348.40 from page 1 When charges were revealed in March 2010, prosecutors accused Burns of offering Danderfer and Taylor accommodation at a Kelowna condominium, employment income for relatives and “post-retirement income” in exchange for using their positions to give contracts to Burns and his company WebMed Technology Inc. Burns was sentenced to three

years probation and 100 hours of community service, providing free health care to the needy. Danderfer was put on probation for two years, plus community service and a fine of $3,690, the value of two stays at the Kelowna condo. In search warrant documents filed in 2009, RCMP commercial crime investigators alleged that WebMed “fraudulently submitted 30 invoices totaling $251,348.40

that Jim Taylor fraudulently authorized.” Burns hired Taylor’s wife, a nurse, to work for WebMed when the company’s digital diagnosis system was being tested in Chilliwack and Maple Ridge hospitals. In applications for search warrants, RCMP said Burns also offered to pay for side trips to Paris and Egypt while Burns and Danderfer were on government business in Europe.

Museum to review closing policy from page 1 calls – to the police, the fire department and eventually the security company itself – before anyone came to their rescue, around 7 p.m. The wait was long enough that Dyke, who is a senior, said she eventually had to move some of the displays a bit so she could sit. “I was getting so tired of standing up.” Oldaker said museum policy calls for a sweep of the facility to ensure all the doors are locked and everyone is out before the building is locked up for

the night. The day in question, there was one staff member and one volunteer on duty, she said. The staff member “is at a loss” to explain what happened. “Evidently, they (the visitors) were somehow overlooked,” Oldaker said. “I have spoken with her and we’re reviewing the whole policy with all of our staff. “We offer our apologies to the

ladies and certainly wish it hadn’t happened.” Dyke said she has no plans to make a formal complaint. But she wouldn’t want to see anyone else repeat the experience. “It was upsetting. I know these things do happen, but I thought it was very irresponsible… totally unacceptable. I hope somebody learns from this.”

Smoke billows from a southbound van at the Peace Arch (Douglas) border crossing Friday evening.

Tragedy averted

Blast at the border

OPPORTUNITY BUY...

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

An explosion that rocked Peace Arch border Friday evening – closing the port for about two hours – was caused by an engine fire, officials say. Canada Border Services Agency spokesperson Erin Steeksma said no one was hurt in the blaze, which occurred around 6 p.m. in a van in the southbound lineup. But the smoke, flames and noise were enough to catch the attention of at least one Zero Avenue resident. Gord Goble said he was at the end of a run when he heard two “kabooms” come from the border, about 30 seconds apart. “I saw this little plume of smoke. When I got closer, I knew it was something really big,” Goble said. He saw a vehicle “totally engulfed.” “The flames were 20 feet high,” Goble said. Steeksma said border guards were quick to act. They immediately notified emergency crews, confirmed no one was inside the burning vehicle and worked to divert traffic to the Pacific Highway border. Guards’ efforts to extinguish the blaze were unsuccessful, however, their “heroic” actions until fire crews arrived helped avert what could have been a tragedy, Steeksma said. The border was reopened around 8 p.m.

editorial

Bargain, but do it quietly eachers’ contract bargaining should not be a spectator sport with blood-thirsty zealots cheering on their combatants like teens at an after-school fist fight. There are more adult ways to conduct negotiations than fear mongering, rabble rousing and putdowns. With school now underway, both sides in the B.C. public school teachers dispute should loudly pronounce their intentions to bargain in good faith and then duck under the cover of silence until there’s something worthwhile to report – like a settlement. The BC Teachers’ Federation and the BC Public School Employers’ Association have an opportunity to create a teachable moment for thousands of B.C. students by engaging in respectful negotiations. No doubt there are extreme challenges facing both sides in this dispute because the teachers are expected to live within the same “zero net” deal accepted by other public-sector unions. With an arbitrator ruling that issues traditionally discussed at the provincial table should remain there, and class size and composition regulations left out of the discussion for now (the province has until next April to contemplate the implications of a Supreme Court ruling that struck down class size and composition regulations), both sides in the dispute have a very narrow range of concerns to deal with. As frustrating as it is for teachers to not be able to deal with their most pressing issues – parity with other provinces on wages and benefits, class size and composition – and with a provincial election still a long way off, the road is clear for some hard bargaining on the narrow range of contract items still open for discussion. One option is for both sides to bear down on a few key non-monetary items to obtain a shortterm deal or stall for a year or more until the way is clear for a possible return to bargaining of class size and composition, wages and benefits. Regardless, it should be understood by all that teachers have the legal right to bargain (as upheld by the courts) and complaints of unreasonable concessions or unrealistic demands are typical opening bargaining positions. With these volleys out of the way, it’s time for some serious bargaining. But, please, let’s do it quietly.

148 responding I think my mother thought it was the thing to do. I was an instant target for ridicule. “Watcha got in the briefcase, goof? Your pyjamas?” Another kid might have ditched the thing the same day. For me, it became a symbol of resistance. I kept that leather case right through Grade 8. Some of my tormentors felt its wrath, too. Passing quickly in a crowded hall, held at a strategic elevation and angle, that briefcase could deliver a satisfying blow into the nether regions of the thugs. And then Ninja Nerd would melt away into the crowd ... off on a frantic hunt for the physics lab. We didn’t have friendly, older student guides to help us negotiate the labyrinth of halls and breezeways and multiple levels of classrooms, and interrogation rooms, and torture chambers. Well, I never did personally see the latter, but the Grade 10s insisted they existed in the basement. For the first week or two, it was navigation by panic, heightened by stubborn locker locks that would have confounded Houdini. Rotate the combination dial to the first number, reverse two turns, now to the next number, the bell has just rung, don’t pass the last number, stand on one foot, and do the hokey-pokey ... you have two seconds until your next class ... abandon the textbooks in the locker, and just run and try to find the classroom now? Or just run home? It was tempting... I tell my daughter those were characterbuilding days. Andrew Holota is the editor of the Abbotsford News.

Rushing won’t ensure justice Editor: Re: Blame those responsible, Aug. 25 Letter-writer Jim Simpson is to be commended for his articulate letter, pointing out the other side of the story, concerning lack of charges from the Vancouver riots. There has been concern that the police appear to have considerable video and photographic evidence, but are not bringing suspects before the court. Recently there have been several news reports of serious cases being dismissed, not on merit but because defence counsel has successfully argued a breach of charter rights. The most recent was a high-profile drug case in Richmond. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms does not recognize the rights of the victim, the burden of proof or the rule of law. Regardless of the facts, the charter applies to the law and is supreme when the court accepts any defence argument on a breach of legal rights. The high courts also support the charter and their interpretations have set binding precedents for the lower courts. With respect to Sec. 10 (b) of the charter, the high court has ruled the police must not only inform the accused of his right to retain and instruct counsel, but the accused must understand this charter warning. This was the basis for dismissal in the Richmond case. Vancouver Police Chief Jim Chu obviously understands the implications of the charter and is no doubt ensuring that all provisions of the charter are met before charges are brought before the court. Bill Parrott, Surrey

would rather plant a few trees than pass money off to the carbon offsetters. For this reason, the notion of carbon footprints typically opens a whole can of worms. The primary reason people want to grow their food can be summarized in one word: choice; the choice to use non-genetically modified seeds, the choice to grow and subsequently eat flavourful and interesting food and the peace of mind knowing that what you are eating wasn’t sprayed with poison. While choice brings people to the garden, the other main benefit is the interaction with the other gardeners. When someone goes away, we ask another to water for us; when there are extra plant starts, there is an eager gardener willing to take them. We have an amazing mix of experience levels and everyone is all about helping. In fact, with only five days notice, we had 25 people out to our first educational workshop. There is a real desire to learn, as shown by the current waitlist of 18 people, who all chose to be on our mailing list for upcoming workshops at the garden. Kudos to the City of White Rock for putting together its first community garden. Lora Frost, site co-ordinator, White Rock Community Garden

Roadways are for cars Editor: Re: Speeders be warned, Aug. 30 letters. I am saddened the McDougall family has lost two cats due to them being run over by a car, but I’m surprised the letter writer feels the driver is at fault. Pets are extremely unpredictable. Most animals are not road savvy and most drivers drive defensively and try not to hit something that runs out on the road and has seemed to come from nowhere. Cats can be in a bush and decide to dart out across the road, and I can understand that a driver can’t stop in time. I remember a duck flying out of a ditch in front of my car, and I hit it. I pulled over to look for it but couldn’t find it, so I’ll never know if I killed it or not, but I felt sick. Most responsible drivers will stop and talk to a nearby neighbour to see if someone owns the cat, but there are the exceptions. Maybe they feel so awful they can’t face the owner and are scared, so the only way to deal with it is to drive off. You never know how you will

react until it happens to you. My advice to the McDougall family after losing two cats to road kill would be to keep your cat indoors. You can know it’s safe. D. Young, Surrey Q First, I would like to send my sympathy to the McDougall family on the loss of their two pets. I find it difficult to understand why the people who accidentally kill animals on our roads are at fault for “driving carelessly.” Road kill on our streets and highways are caused by the animals being on the roads. It is difficult to see them as they dash into the paths of vehicles. I don’t think anyone intentionally hits an animal, and I am sure they feel terrible, especially when it is someone’s pet. What was the cat doing on the road? Why, after losing one pet to “careless, speeding” drivers, would they not take responsibility for their pet’s life? Please buy a leash for the next animal so the poor children do not have to experience having another family pet killed. Dog owners seem to have gotten the message and most dogs are now on leashes or kept contained in yards. When are owners of cats going to get the message? P. Moreau, Surrey

Carbon talk a can of worms Editor: Re: Good things Growing in White Rock, Aug. 25. I was thrilled to see the White Rock community garden featured in the paper. Community gardens boast important benefits, including a sense of ownership, crime prevention and increasing neighbourhood property values. There was a segment in the story that articulated that people joined the community garden to reduce their carbon footprint. Being a chemical-free landscape designer, I respect and appreciate all efforts to keep our earth clean. The Wikipedia definition of carbon footprint is stated as “the total set of greenhouse gas emissions caused by an organization, event, product or person.” I have to drive to a grocery store and to the garden, as this is how our cities are built in North America. Until we can walk into our backyard to pick our veggies, carbon footprint becomes a moot point. It’s because of this one might consider the current setup of carbon credits is far more motivated by politics and revenue. Some

Etiquette invites inclusiveness Editor: Re: Museum reopens its doors, Aug. 16. It must be the first time that harpist Mehlinda Heartt perfomed in a cage, as shown in your photograph. When I happened to walk by the museum on Friday, Aug. 12 at 4:30 p.m., and I saw a two-metre-high steel fence, my first thought was that the circus is coming to town. Then I learned that there was going to be a reception that evening, for the opening of the museum. It is apparent that the organizers of this event have a complete lack of a basic knowledge how to stage such an event and have shown their ignorance for the simple basic rules of etiquette. Citizens of White Rock would have understood if the area was roped off by a hawser – in the true marine fashion for a “City By The Sea” – but not a two-metrehigh steel fence. An insult to human intelligence. I boycotted similar events “behind bars” some years ago – one in Gdynia, the other in Tegucigalpa – much to the dislike of the governments of these countries.

The museum restoration, which cost in excess of $1.4 million overall – including public donations and fundraising drives – has maximized exhibition, gallery and programming areas,

news White Rock staff hear increased complaints in past two months

City asks about railway noise Increased complaints regarding louder, longer and more frequent overnight train whistles have prompted City of White Rock officials to once again ask railway officials to ensure conductors are adhering to BNSF’s no-blow policy. City manager Peggy Clark confirmed Tuesday that she emailed BNSF spokesman Gus Melonas about the issue “a few days ago,”

but hasn’t heard back. The city has received “four or five” complaints about the train whistles in the past two months, Clark said. “People comment on it seems to be louder,” she said. “I’ve written BNSF and asked them about it.” Clark said the railway is generally receptive to such concerns, but are steadfast when it comes to safety issues.

“They try and honour the (8 p.m. to 6 a.m.) quiet zone, but if they feel in any way that there is a safety issue, they’re going to blow it,” she said. “The railway has always said safety comes first.” BNSF spokesman Gus Melonas told Peace Arch News last month that train whistles are a necessary safety factor. They’re the train’s main warning device and they’re meant to be heard, Melonas said.

Motorcycle trek ending at Peace Arch border to mark 10th anniversary of terrorist attack in New York City

Memorial ride pays tribute to 9-11 victims Philip Raphael

Black Press

t was on a steep stretch heading eastward through the B.C. section of the Rockies when Guy Morrall’s HarleyDavidson started to run out of breath in the thinning air. While that slowed him down – much to his chagrin because he had to be in New York City in about 10 days time – it allowed him to notice something quite profound. He saw the vehicle ahead with U.S. licence plates had a small, homemade cardboard sign pressed up against the rear window by two small figures – a pair of young grade school-aged girls. The sign’s simple script matched the ages of its authors, but the message was nonetheless effective. “The sign said, ‘Thank you for riding for us. We love you.’ Just those two faces in the back of the car. I can see them now as plain as then.” The recollection from nine years ago still brings a few tears to Morrall’s eyes. It’s indicative of the emotion the former Ladner resident feels each year as he takes part in the 9-11 Memorial Ride to the Peace Arch in South Surrey, an event he started in 2003, the year after he made a crosscontinent motorcycle trek from Ladner to New York City to commemorate the first anniversary of the attacks that felled the World Trade Center towers and other buildings. While he now lives on Vancouver Island, Morrall keeps in close contact to help organize the annual event which draws hundreds of riders from across the region. “When I see it, (people gathering for the ride) I think it’s something we have to remember,” he says. “It’s one way we can pay respect and honour those who lost their lives.” Morrall says the motivation to make the cross-continent ride to New York City

He woke his guests early on that fateful Sept. 11 morning to tell them something was going on in New York City they had to come see on TV. “They were pretty emotional, trying to get through to their wives on the cellphones,” Morrall says. “The following months we saw all of the news about what happened on Sept. 11, and being in emergency services (Coast Guard Auxiliary) I wanted to do something,” he says. “But there were so many people going there and that’s one of the biggest problems when there is an emergency. You can quickly become more of a burden than an asset.” So, he waited and left Ladner on Aug. 29, 2002, arriving in New York City on Sept. 9. Along the way he met countless people

Search for best chili returns The Rotary Club of White Rock Millennium will hold its Third Annual Rotary Chili Cook-off at the White Rock Business Improvement Association’s annual fall fair on Saturday. For $5, people will receive a two-ounce taste of each chili, a chili-tasting card and a People’s Choice Award ballot. Tasters will be able to vote on their favourite chili.

The People’s Choice Award goes to the team who receives the most votes from public chilitasters. The Best Judged Chili Award will be selected by a panel of judges based on a variety of criterium. And the Rotary Level Award goes to the team with the most enthusiasm. Eight teams are confirmed for this year’s event. “We are expecting some strong

competition again this year. For those attending the BIA event, this means another year of great-tasting chili,” club public relations director Jody Gordon said. The Sept. 10 Chili Cook-pff will be located under White Rock’s Whaling Wall on Russell Avenue at Johnston Road. All money raised will go towards local community service projects.

Promoting safety at soiree Organizers behind this year’s Red Serge Reception & Auction are touting the gala as an evening of fun and fundraising in an intimate atmosphere. The soiree – a fundraiser for community policing programs in South Surrey and White Rock – is to take place Sept. 15 at Belle’s on 32nd (14007 32 Ave.). “We want to raise money in a fun and intimate atmosphere… really feel like people are taken care of,” said Steve Christian, chair of the Semiahmoo Volunteer Community Police Society. The evening, which has raised more than $500,000 over the years, is to feature live and silent auctions. Items up for grabs in the live auction will include Kelowna and Whistler getaway packages and a Vancouver Canucks suite. A popular item introduced last year, in which two children get the chance to be police officers for a day, will also be auctioned.

Unforgettable Fiji

By Elaine Ross, Uniglobe Travelex - White Rock

White Sandy Beaches, cloudless Blue skies, rushing rivers & waterfalls, and beautiful turquoise water, are all attributes the moviemakers reveled in when making their choice to ďŹ lm two famous movies in Fiji - Blue Lagoon, which shot Brooke Shields to stardom and Castaway with Oscar Winner Tom Hanks. The unforgettable scenery in both of these movies will hold in the memory of anyone who saw them. It looks to good to be real but believe me it most certainly is one of the most beautiful places I have been in the world. Fiji became a republic in 1987 adopting

some of the best and most accessible scuba diving in the PaciďŹ c where the underwater scenery is breathtaking. Two of the more popular diving sites are Rainbow Reef and Bega Lagoon. You too can experience the wonders of these islands, which are over 700 in total, although only about 100 are actually inhabited. Flights are available from Vancouver with a variety of hotels to meet everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget. So what are you waiting for? For more information please call uniglobe travelex at: 604-538-2111.

Tourism is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bread & Butterâ&#x20AC;? for the Fijians, with sugar, bananas, rice, pineapples, and coconuts all helping boost their economic growth Fijiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest asset however is the friendliness and warmth of its people, with their hospitality ranking among the top in the world.

lifestyles Mascot game supports childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centre

Fur the children Melissa Smalley

Staff Reporter

ur, feathers and fins were flying in South Surrey last week, as beloved mascots faced off for a (mostly) friendly hockey game last week. The Aug. 31 event marked the conclusion of the Summer Skate event at The Shops at Morgan Crossing, where an artificial ice rink was constructed at the 15765 Croydon Dr. outdoor mall for free skating the last two weeks of August. Duking it out in the mascot hockey game were Fin of the Vancouver Canucks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who was the leading scorer over two 10-minute periods of play â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and new-found rival the Root Bear from A&W, who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss an opportunity to throw his bottom-heavy body into his opponents. Surrey Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mascot Winger was also a force to be reckoned with on ice, putting a few in the back of the net, as was Buck the Chicken from White Spot. RBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Leo the Lion, Scotiabankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hamlet and Scoop from Peace Arch News rounded out the four-on-four mascot action.

Mascots â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including Surrey Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Winger (above, centre) and Fin (right) from the Canucks, took part in a hockey game last week at Morgan Crossing. Proceeds helped support the Centre for Child Development. The crowds that gathered to take in the action were treated to a familiar voice, as Vancouver Canucks announcer John Ashbridge provided play-by-play services. Global BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Leah Holiove was also on hand, refereeing the game.

Several members of the Surrey Eagles watched from the sidelines â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with a few even suiting up as mascots â&#x20AC;&#x201C; after the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official 2011/2012 roster was announced earlier in the day. Since kicking off Aug. 15, the Summer Skate at Morgan Crossing

has ran daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., offering skate rentals, sharpening, hot dogs and snacks by donation. Proceeds raised support the Centre for Child Development, which helps children throughout the Fraser Valley with complex and severe developmental disabilities.

The Society is run by a group of local passionate volunteers which allows 100% of the funds we raise to be invested back into programs and services to support our community. The Society and its volunteers support several programs such as Speed Watch, Bike Patrol, Block Watch, D.A.R.E. and Ride Right Bicycle Safety

They don’t need the added strain of not being able to afford the basic school supplies all their friends have,,” said Bobby Farr, of the Telus Community Ambassadors Club in the Lower Mainland.

Stuff the Bus Staples delivered $18,000 worth of school supplies to the Surrey School District Aug. 15 to kick off the seventh annual Stuff the Bus Campaign. The program was initiated to provide children in the community with muchneeded school supplies. The school district has partnered with Staples Canada and Peace Arch News, and has received support from Guildford Town Centre. “The Stuff the Bus program is a way for everyone in our community, whether as an individual, family or business to come together and do something positive for Surrey,” Guildford Town Centre general manager Peggy White said in a press release. In the past three years, Stuff the Bus has raised close to $50,000 in supplies and donations. “It is so great to see our community assisting disadvantaged and struggling families in such an important way as supporting a child’s education,” Surrey Board of Education chair Laura McNally said. The fundraising campaign demonstrates the generous spirit of Surrey citizens and ensures students are prepared for the new school year and have the tools they need to be successful in the classroom, according to

The Canadian dollar is holding sstrong, and while housing prices in tthe Lower Mainland are seemingly higher than ever, the same can’t be ssaid for our neighbours to the south. It’s no surprise that many people on the Semiahmoo Peninsula look to tthe US to invest in a second home or vvacation property. But with this cross-border investment, and extended amounts of time sspent down south, come many complex tax, estate and financial planning issues. It’s a subject the advisors at the Kilburn Coxford Group are often disBill Coxford & Lori Kilburn cussing with their clients – from getting the most out of both the Canadian and US tax systems to maximizing medicare benefits, and everything in between. “We’re seeing with our clients that the housing crash in the US, coupled with the housing boom here and a strong Canadian dollar, has more and more people looking to potentially purchase in the US,” explains Bill Coxford, BMO Nesbitt Burns investment advisor. In an effort to shed some much-needed light on the many issues surrounding cross-border living, Coxford and the rest of the team at the Kilburn Coxford Group are offering an educational workshop later this month featuring renowned experts in the field. Robert Keats, president of Keats Connelly – a specialized firm with deep expertise in crossborder issues – will be guiding attendees on a variety of topics, including maximizing US tax exemptions on investments, deducting mortgage interest on a US retirement home, taking advantage of US/Canadian exchange rates and learning how US can be a tax haven. The latter point is one many Canadians are unaware of, according to BMO Nesbitt Burns vice president Lori Kilburn. “Many people aren’t familiar with the fact that taxes are a lot lower in the US,” Kilburn explains. “Believe it or not, you can really turn to the US as a tax haven in certain situations as a business owner.” Like the holistic approach the Kilburn Coxford Group takes with its wealth management clients, the workshop will aim to provide real-world strategies to all of the issues surrounding cross-border living, from tax and estate planning to auto and health insurance, and avoiding ‘red flags’ at customs. Admission to the Sept. 29 workshop includes breakfast and lunch, and attendees will receive copies of Keats’ best-selling book, The Border Guide, as well as Buying Real Estate in the US – The Concise Guide for Canadians. If you’re currently enjoying cross-border living, or are considering investing in the US real estate market, don’t miss this opportunity to learn the essentials in Canadian/US financial issues – call 604-535-4310 to register.

Cross-Border Living for Canadians in the US Workshop Thursday September 29, 2011, 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Morgan Creek Golf Course, 3500 Morgan Creek Way, Surrey $125 per person or $175 per married couple (includes breakfast and lunch).

To register please call Holly Coghlan at 604-535-4310 Meet and learn from Robert Keats, author of a best selling Canadian book The Border Guide You will learn how to... y buy a retirement home and deduct mortgage interest from your Canadian return y as a business owner, learn why the US may be your best tax haven y receive your Canadian RRSP tax-free or nearly tax-free in the US y make investments exempt from US income tax y get the best of Canadian and US tax systems y take advantage of Canadian/US dollar exchange rates

urban style ¤ autumn 2011 Classic trend or 70s style? If you’re fed up with the 80s-style retro fashions that have been on the street for a while now — especially those little Peter Pan ankle boots — you’ll be pleased to know that the softer 70s look has begun a return and is not likely to disappear any time soon. That’s right, straight from Woodstock, the 70s style is all the rage. Get ready to be groovy again!

BE THE FIRST... TO SEE OUR FALL 2011 COLLECTION TM

Visit our Grandview Corners location and ask for your $100 gift certiﬁcate toward a minimum purchase of $500 before taxes

The 70s style is an easy trend to follow. Just take your inspiration from the flower power folk singers of that era, with their high-waisted bell bottom pants and full colour spectrum. For a touch of hippy chic, emphasize the waist by combining pants with a tie-neck blouse, tucked into the pants and worn with an attractive leather belt and unique belt buckle. Maxi dresses are also making a comeback this season. To compliment a pretty floorbrushing dress, choose a pair of platform-soled shoes. Musts for the season are accessories such as wide-brimmed hats, in felt or wool, or floral headbands worn down around the forehead — a classic hippy look. If your inclination is to ignore the more flamboyant 70s-influenced trends, the classic look will do just fine this season. Both these styles were seen recently, where Eastern European folklore influences brought a soft and homey look to the runway. But no matter which decade sways you, a style worn elegantly will always be in fashion!

Are you going to follow the hippy chic trend this fall? (Photos www.annie50.com)

When my father was elderly, I persuaded him to put all his bank accounts and investments at the bank in joint tenancy with myself. He died and I went to the bank with a death certiÀcate and asked them to transfer the assets to me. The bank reviewed the documents and told me that I was entitled to all the assets and transferred them to me. Now my brother and sister say they are going to sue me because they say that notwithstanding that the accounts and investments contain a “right of survival” clause, the assets belong to my father’s estate and they are entitled to share them. Surely the bank would not give wrong advice on this matter. What gives? The bank is not a reliable source of legal advice on the law of trusts in British Columbia. In a case brought before the Supreme Court of Canada in 2007, it was decided that, notwithstanding the bank documents which contain the “right of survival” clause, whether the assets belong to you or the estate is determined by all the evidence surrounding the transfer including amongst other things, his health, mental status, and the degree of power you exerted over him. The onus is on you to demonstrate that your father made a gift to you.

Back to School…Back to Work Work! Finding the right after-school activities

oday’s kids are busier than ever before. Be it the increasingly competitive nature of scholastic life or the increase of two-income households where kids need something to do other than come directly home after school, children today are much busier than their school-aged counterparts of yesteryear. While it can be fun and beneficial for kids to participate in extracurricular activities, finding the right fit isn’t as easy as it sounds. When helping kids find an extracurricular activity, it’s best to consider a host of factors. Especially keep in mind that not all kids are the same with respect to interests. And what was enjoyed by their parents won’t necessarily be enjoyed by them.

Getting Started The best place to start is to speak to kids about their interests. Just because Dad loved playing football doesn’t mean Junior is destined to be a gridiron great. Kids have their own interests, and those interests can be cultivated with the right extracurricular activity. For example, a creative child might enjoy an after-school art class a couple of times per week. Parents should also consider extracurriculars that can help kids grow as people. For instance, a child who’s shy in public but loves hamming it up at home might embrace an after-school theater program

Grades 4–7

Parents want their kids to be as safe after school as they are during it. When looking for an extracurricular activity, inquire about the staffto-child ratio and about the staff’s professional background. Any staff-to-child ratio that is greater than 12:1 likely indicates a program that is understaffed, which could mean kids won’t get the attention they need. Also, ask for the staff’s references and work history in the field of child care. If certification is necessary or recommended, make sure the staff meets all requirements.

When planning for extracurricular activities, there is plenty to take into consideration, including a child’s age, their interests and their personality. a noncompetitive Consider Child’s environment.

Back to School…Back to Work!

Prevent spread of nasty bugs by keeping clean Though it’s early in the school year for flu epidemics to be sweeping through classrooms, cleanliness is still a major safety concern for many parents. Classrooms are a place where students spend a large portion of their day in close proximity to 20 or more other children and their cleanliness can have a direct impact on the health of its students and their ability to learn. Classroom conditions are not just a matter of providing a good place to learn. Frequent cleaning helps eliminate some of the factors that contribute to poor indoor air quality and the spread of communicable diseases. Cold and flu viruses can thrive on surfaces for a few minutes and up to two days, depending on the surface and the virus or bacteria, said The Mayo Clinic. Coming in contact with these surfaces can make little children ill. Clutter in the school and classroom contributes to the accumulation of dirt and dust, which can compromise air quality. It also provides breeding grounds and hiding spots for insects and rodents. If parents learn through their children or through personal observation that classrooms do not seem clean, the matter can be brought to the attention of school personnel. Here are some other guidelines that can be followed to help promote classroom cleanliness: * Send children in with hand sanitizers and antibacterial tissues to control the spread of germs.

Ensuring that things are kept clean in your child’s classroom can help keep them healthy throughout the school year. * Find out if the teacher needs any cleaning supplies, such as disinfectant wipes or sprays. * Teach children that frequent handwashing is one of the key ways to help minimize germs. * Set up a Facebook page or e-mail list where school parents can converse about classroom issues. * Discover whether budgetary issues have resulted in cuts to janitorial staff, which could affect school maintenance. * Volunteer time or services to help clean-up areas of the school that may need attention. * Talk with the PAC or school officials if there are particularly dangerous areas of concern. * Don’t send children to school if they are ill. * Practice cleanliness around the house and make keeping rooms and playspaces tidy a rule of the home.

TransLink feeling pump pain Jeff Nagel Black Press

A jump in transit ridership is helping TransLink make up for lower-than-expected gas-tax revenues. The drop in gasoline sales in the region means less cash for TransLink, which gets 15 cents on every litre sold. Second quarter financial numbers show the gas tax take is running five per cent below what TransLink budgeted. Spokesman Ken Hardie said more people are taking transit – ridership is running at least six per cent above last year – so reduced vehicle use may account for some of the drop in gas sales.

But he also agreed many shoppers are heading regularly to the U.S. to take advantage of the strong Canadian dollar and gas up for less, or filling up in the Fraser Valley, where TransLink gas tax doesn’t apply. “It could very easily be there are enough people going across into other jurisdictions to buy fuel,” Hardie said last week. Lower tourism visits and an ongoing trend to buying more fuel efficient vehicles may also be contributing factors, he said. TransLink managed to keep its second-quarter costs almost five per cent under budget at $469 million, while delivering more service than budgeted, partly

to meet higher transit demand during the Vancouver Canucks’ playoff run. Transit revenue was $8.7 million higher than planned because of higher ridership, including higher sales of pre-paid tickets and monthly passes. Golden Ears Bridge tolls were $2 million under budget at $15.7 million in the first six months, less than half what it needs to start breaking even. “It’s not generating as much revenue as we hoped,” Hardie said. “We’d prefer it to be better.” But he noted the 4.6 million trips over the toll bridge so far this year was 14 per cent higher than the first six months of 2010.

A small group of medical marijuana consumers stage a protest outside Langley City Hall.

Pro-pot petition goes door-to-door Dan Ferguson Black Press

Organizers of a petition to resurrect the Langley Medical Marijuana Dispensary plan to go door-to-door to collect signatures. The campaign is being co-ordinated by Surrey resident Dan Mackle, one of the clients of the dispensary that was closed down by a police raid July 19. “I was the very first one,” Mackle told Black Press. “Randy Caine (the pro-marijuana activist who founded the dispensary) was my designated grower.” The 57-year-old Mackle said without the dispensary he will have to find other, possibly criminal suppliers for the marijuana he uses to treat a chronic pain condition.

“I no longer have safe sources,” Mackle said. The petition hopes to convince the City of Langley to allow the dispensary to operate as a pilot project, on the same basis as the Vancouver safe injection site for heroin addicts. After the first afternoon of soliciting signatures in Langley’s McBurney Square, Mackle said about 50 people signed. He says the petitioners plan to be out every Sunday in the square from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. He said they hope to begin knocking on doors later this month. Updates on the campaign to revive the dispensary are being posted on the medical dispensary website at www. medicalmjdispensary. com

Province hires more sheriffs Jeff Nagel Black Press

The province is hiring and training 36 new auxiliary sheriffs in a move expected to help avoid further trial delays from insufficient courtroom security. It represents a net increase of 30 sheriffs over and above the government’s commitment in June to restore the hours of auxiliary sheriffs that had been cut in May. This spring’s reductions, equivalent to the loss of 34 fulltime positions, and coupled with a shift to a system of roving on-call sheriffs, prompted several judges to raise safety and security concerns and postpone trials. Acting AttorneyGeneral Shirley Bond said the new recruits

should be on the job by December and will “help minimize the risk of court delays resulting from staff shortages going forward.” Sheriffs’ union spokesman Dean Purdy applauded the increase. “This is a move in the right direction,” he said last month. “It will help to ease the pain in the court system.” But Purdy estimated B.C. will still remain 70 to 100 sheriffs short of the number it had roughly three years ago. Provincial officials contend the gap will be less than half as big as the union claims. Fifteen of the new recruits will serve in the Lower Mainland. Bond said the government plans to recruit a second group of new sheriffs starting in January.

Residents of White Rock and South Surrey should brace themselves for “yarn bombing.” For the uninitiated, that’s the fibre art equivalent of graffiti, the unexpected adornment of objects and surfaces with colourful wool or other fibres by anonymous, and frequently mischievous, ‘yarn bombers’. It’s just one of the activities promised by Outside The Box organizer Pauline McLean Dutkowski for the ongoing Semiahmoo Peninsula celebration of the often overlooked idiom of fibre and textile art. For those who wish to learn more about the phenomenon, the book Hoopla: The Art of Unexpected Embroidery by yarn bombing author Leanne Prain will be launched Sept. 19, 7-9 p.m. at White Rock Library (pre-registration required). But there will be plenty of other ways to get involved in the seven week-long celebration bringing together local artists and businesses

Displays galore from page 37 displays throughout the Peninsula (until Oct. 21) highlight the many possibilities of fibre and textile art and illustrate how practitioners are pushing the boundaries “outside the box” – including everything from knitting and felting demonstrations to performance art. A main Outside The Box display – An Exploration of Fibre – will debut at White Rock Community Centre, 2-3:30 p.m., Sept 10, during the White Rock BIA’s Uptown Summersault Festival. Other components include FiberFusion, a 6 by 9-foot collaborative mural by some 30 artists on display at White Rock Museum and Archives; demonstrations and ‘fun with fibre’ displays – including spinning and knitting demonstrations outside Knitopia – during Summersault; informative wall texts to accompany the displays by the Women, Art and Society class at Langara College; and an exhibition of large art quilts by the Crescent Quilters and the ‘Piece Arch’ Quilters at the White Rock Library, which will also feature a presentation by Anne Kristiansen, Interwoven Stories: A History of Textiles in Fashion and Art (Sept. 26). Also on offer will be a day of displays and demonstrations by weavers, spinners and quilters at the Zeller’s court area of Semiahmoo Shopping Centre (Sept. 24) with musical entertainment by the Soul of the World Multicultural Choir; plus exhibitions, workshops and demonstrations at Laura’s Fashion Fabrics through September; two evenings of fashion art and flowers presented by Boutique Vasanji and Flowers Chic (Sept. 10, Oct. 2); displays by the Peace Arch Weavers and Spinners at the Semiahmoo and Ocean Park Libraries and displays by the South Surrey and White Rock Art Society at Coast Capital Playhouse.

Sports Reporter

While all 11 teams will play each other this fall, only games against the bottom six will count for points in the standings. Games against already-qualified clubs will serve as exhibition tilts. “It’ll be a good challenge, and it’s not going to be easy, that’s for sure,” said Kearney, a Semiahmoo Secondary grad and former UVic rugby captain. The Sharks’ season begins Saturday, when they play the UBC Old Boys at Jericho Park. The following week, they’ll play Meralomas. Because both teams have berths in the premier loop, Bayside will essentially have two warmup games before they have to play for points Sept. 24 against Capilano. The Sharks will be led by many of the same veteran faces that have dotted the premier roster in recent seasons, and they’ll get a boost for the fall with the return of flyhalf Keaton Styles, a Canada Sevens player who has played the last few seasons at the Univer-

sity of Victoria. Styles is staying on the Peninsula this fall and taking UVic courses online. “We’ll have him until Christmas, at least,” Kearney said. “We’re really excited to have him. He should make a real impact for us.” Kearney is in his second year coaching with the Sharks; he helmed the men’s division one team last year, after his playing career, which began at Bayside, was cut short ago due to an ACL injury in his knee. “I haven’t even put the (rugby) boots on – I’ve traded them in for a whistle,” he said, when asked if he planned a return to the pitch at some point. “Coaching is different, but I really do enjoy it. The wins and losses still affect me the same as if I was playing.” Kearney said Bayside is still looking to add players for the coming season – “all ages, new players or experienced guys,” he said.

White Rock stock car driver Korbin Thomas was victorious in Victoria for the second straight year, after taking the checked flag in the Canada 200 at the Western Speedway. Thomas, 38, made his move to the front of the pack with less than 40 laps to go in the 200-lap endurance race – most races are 100 laps – and built up a lead before crossing the finish line first, ahead of fellow racers Geoff Morris and Jason Tarasenko, who rounded out the podium in second and third, respectively. “It went well – we didn’t wreck, so that’s the important thing,” saud Thomas, who has been racing since the early ‘90s. The Canada 200 was the last race in the ASA Advanced Testing Racing series; the win moved Thomas into fifth place in the overall standings, despite missing one race earlier in the season. The series competes on tracks throughout B.C. - Nick Greenizan

TIRED OF Fourth-quarter comeback BAD TEETH? Midget football squad scores 16 points in final frame

leads Titans to victory A strong fourthquarter performance helped the White RockSouth Surrey Titans’ midget team pick up a win in the first week of the Vancouver Mainland Football League season, edging the Coquitlam Falcons 33-21 Sunday. Through three quarters of play Sunday at South Surrey Athletic Park, the midget Titans trailed the Falcons 21-17 before outscoring their opponents 16-0 in the final frame. The comeback began when Brandon LeMoignan caught a 55-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Cole Meyer, and LeMoignan scored his second TD of the day just one possession later to extend the lead. Will Watson had the Titans’ other major score, when he picked up a fumble on defence and ran 63 yards into the end zone.

touchdowns were notched by Teran Rai, Nicolas Hein, Lucas Roling and Reid Turner; Turner’s tally was the game-winner. The peewee Titans won their season-

opener, too, with a 20-6 victory over the North Surrey Hawks. Eduardo Gonzalez led the offence with two touchdowns, and Michael Dowhaniuk added one. In atom division action, the Titans fell to the North Surrey Lions by a 16-0 score, while the junior bantam team also got shut out in the opening week, losing 26-0 to the North Surrey Eagles. The atom Titans were led by Rhys Huston, who had a 60-yard run, and Isaiah Edwards, who had a 40-yard gain. Though they failed to find the end zone, the junior bantam Titans’ offence was sharp at times, too – in the second half led by running back Jaxon MacMillan, and on a 30-yard pass completion from quarterback Aiden Eliis to Owen Dickie. - Nick Greenizan

Before the Semiahmoo Minor Ball Hockey League begins its second season in the spring, league president Rick Duchesne will have to sort out boundary issues with the neighbouring league from Surrey. In fact, a catchment-area problem – brought forth by the Surrey Ball Hockey Association last spring, midway through Semiahmoo’s first season – caused the first-year White Rock/South Surrey-based association to temporarily be ousted from West Coast Minor Ball Hockey, which is the umbrella group for all Lower Mainland associations. According to Duchesne, Surrey’s former league president – who has since left the post – complained that Duchesne’s league was taking players from South Surrey, which had previously been the domain of the Surrey association. As a result, Semiahmoo was suspended in late June, and its teams were unable to participate in provincials and, in mid-July,

the Western Challenge Cup in Edmonton. “Unfortunately, there’s a lot of politics in amateur sports,” Duchesne said. “But it’s all being sorted out now, and we’re back as a league in good standing.” He’s also confident that the boundary concerns can be hashed out soon. “Our intentions were never to dip into Surrey’s area and take players away from them. We just wanted to let kids who live near (Centennial Arena) have the chance to play closer to home,” Duchesne said. While Duchesne was disappointed over having to pull his teams out of provincials and the Western Challenge, he did so quietly, he said, under the guise of not being able to gather enough players together. “We didn’t want to air our dirty laundry, and a lot of first-year teams don’t go to these things anyway, so we just kept it low-key,” he said.
