Watts falls from horse
Surrey mayor breaks back Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts broke two vertebrae during a horseback trail ride on Saturday. Watts was vacationing with her family in Kamloops when the horse she was riding began to gallop. Watts was tossed up, and when she came back down in the saddle, she suffered a compression fracture of two vertebrae in her lower back. Watts slumped off the horse, falling onto Dianne Watts the rear of another Surrey mayor horse and then to the ground. She was airlifted to Royal Inland Hospital where she remains in stable condition. A CT scan on the weekend indicated there was no nerve damage, however, she continues to be in extreme pain. She was expected to undergo an MRI on Monday to see if there are neural pathways affected. If there are, surgery may be required to reduce any pressure. As of Monday morning, her family was currently working to have her airlifted to another hospital. Laura Ballance, speaking for the City of Surrey, said more will be known about Watts’ anticipated return to work after the diagnostic tests are complete. Ballance said she has been taken aback by the widespread public reaction to the accident. “I’ve had calls from all across Canada,” Ballance said. “She is one of the mostloved politicians in the country.” Acting Mayor Marvin Hunt said the system is set up to operate in her absence. He was expected to chair Monday’s public meeting, which is the last one before council’s summer break, which lasts until mid-September.

Thompson said operations staff were first notified on the emergency line around 11:30 a.m. “I heard there were some reports of toilet paper being observed on the beach and in the water,” he added. He said the cause of the problem appears to have been a “build-up and blockage” of the sanitary sewage main under Marine Drive.

Sea fest fireworks back Spirit of the Sea fireworks are back on the schedule for the holiday weekend. Event chair John Timms confirmed Monday the Semiahmoo First Nation has stepped forward to sponsor the 45-minute show, scheduled for Saturday, July 30, on White Rock Beach. “The Community of Lights Event Society‌ are extremely grateful to the
Semiahmoo First Nation for this very significant demonstration of their commitment to this long-standing family oriented event,� Timms said in a statement. Timms had announced last week that the fireworks show had to be cancelled due to a lack of sponsorship. SFN Coun. Joanne Charles said the band stepped forward to help the tradition
continue. “We were saddened to find out there was no sponsorship for the fireworks,â€? Charles said. “We know the history of the festival and the benefits it provides to the community‌ and are glad to extend a hand to the local community.â€? The festival gets underway Friday and continues through Aug. 1.

Crews clean up along Marine Drive, near Vidal Street, after a sewage problem Sunday.
Blockage cleared by evening from page 1 on the beach, according to a city press release. The blockage, which was fully cleared by a flushing crew by 5 p.m. Sunday, may have been caused by “grease, animal and vegetable material,� Thompson said. “The people who cleared the blockage said there was a lot of grease there,� he told the Peace Arch News, adding that city staff are “somewhat perplexed� by the incident, as preventative maintenance – including flushing the mains in the area – is done on a regular basis. “It must have been the result of something in the last few weeks,� he said.

However, he said he was not pointing a finger at waterfront restaurants or other businesses, as the source of the blockage could quite as easily have come from a residential garburator. Thompson said such an incident is a rarity, noting the last significant sewage spill on the beach occurred in the late 1980s, as a result of heavy rainfall. “Considering the preventative measures we take, we’re surprised it occurred at all,� he said of the latest incident. He added that staff believe it is most likely a “one-off event�. “We’re doing the best we can with preventative maintenance, but occasionally something will happen.�

news City of White Rock awaits court ruling to euthanize dog
Pit bull hearing delayed until December Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter
The fate of a pit bull that attacked and killed a small dog in White Rock last November will not be decided for at least another five months. A hearing to determine whether the City of White Rock can euthanize the dog, Pebbles, was to be held Monday in Surrey Provincial Court. However, just before the hearing was to get underway, an application to adjourn, filed last week by the dog’s owner, Lisa Shaw, was approved. A new hearing date was set for Dec. 16. Deb Ogilvie, owner of Joey – the 12-pound yorkie-poodle cross that was killed in the Nov. 22 attack – said she was “furious” over the decision. “It’s not justice,” she said outside the courtroom. Ogilvie was returning home from a walk with Joey when an off-leash pit bull struck at
Marine Drive and Stevens Street, outside the front window of her home. Her husband, Doug Fenwick, still can’t open the window’s blinds all the way, and the couple has since put their condo up for sale, Ogilvie said. Much of the devastation they’ve spent the last eight months dealing with has resurfaced with the court proceedings, she added. “We were just starting to move ahead,” Ogilvie said. “We were just starting to feel comfortable about talking about getting another dog. We won’t be doing that anymore.” The city’s lawyer, Don Howieson, told Judge Gary Cohen that he was prepared to call six witnesses, and would present evidence including that the dog was supposed to have been removed from White Rock at the time of the Nov. 22 incident. The $600 per month cost of housing the dog – paid by the city since seizing the dog in
November – is a “serious consideration to the city,” Howieson noted. Asked by Cohen if she was willing to repay the city, Shaw said she’d “have to find a way to do it.” Asked why she had waited so long to ask for an adjournment, Shaw said she didn’t have the money for a lawyer until last week. Pointing to five alleged attacks, Cohen asked Shaw why she was defending the dog. “I believe there are things that can be done to rehabilitate her,” Shaw said, noting she had built a pen to house Pebbles, and that the dog had escaped through her front door. “I’d like to give her the chance. She’s a good dog. She would never hurt a person.” Cohen asked if Shaw would be able to live with herself if, after “heroic” efforts to rehabilitate the dog, she killed again. “Every dog is entitled to its first fight,” he said. “This is its fifth fight.”
Shaw said it’s not the dog’s fault. “It’s my fault,” she said. “I’m taking responsibility.” Outside the courtroom, Fenwick said he didn’t believe the dog could be rehabilitated. “This dog’s a killer. It will kill again,” he said, noting he is disappointed with the adjournment. “You want some closure, now we have to wait another six months.” Ogilvie agreed. “I don’t know. Maybe (Shaw’s) thinking we’re just going to forget about it. But we’re not. We’re absolutely not going to forget about it.” Ogilvie said the city should have more authority to deal with violent animals, and said more needs to be done to ensure safe neighbourhoods. “The bylaws have to be enforced; the legislation has to be changed,” she said. “We have to get our community back to being a safe, secure community.”
Grassfire started by vehicles, says chief A grass fire on property near the Nicomekl River in South Surrey kept firefighters busy for a few hours Sunday night. Deputy fire Chief Jon Caviglia confirmed Monday crews were called after a blaze broke out between 5 and 6 p.m. July 24. “We believe the grass fire was started by people that were driving their vehicles in the grass,” Caviglia said, noting contact with a hot muffler likely caused the fire. It consumed “a few acres,” he added. The fire was extinguished quickly, however, crews remained on the scene for about four hours wetting the area down and watching in case winds picked up and caused it to reignite. - Tracy Holmes

Vacant Mel Edwards building ‘an easy solution’ for Semiahmoo Arts’ space dilemma
Group asks city for arts centre in Centennial Park Alex Browne Arts Reporter
Semiahmoo Arts’ decision to close its Windsor Square offices and gallery on July 31 may just turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Executive director Patrick Reynolds said last week the organization is in the process of reinventing itself, and working with both the City of White Rock and the City of Surrey to find a way to have a foot – and perhaps an office – in both areas. He pointed out this would fulfill the continuing mandate of the organization, formerly known as the Community Arts Council of White Rock and District. And Reynolds said he and Semiahmoo Arts president Barbara Cooper planned to
appear before White Rock council July 25 “It seems like it would be quite an easy (after Peace Arch News deadline) to pitch solution for this,” he said, adding that groups a new idea – a ready-made arts centre for represented by Semiahmoo Arts would not the community in the vacant Mel Edwards be discouraged by the run-down condition of the building. building in Centennial Park. “It would fit in well with the “Artists like that kind of thing ❝Artists like that new Centre for Active Living,” – we just need a space to work,” kind of thing – we he said, noting the old buildsaid Reynolds, who is a painter, ing, originally slated for demoli- just need a space sculptor and graphite artist.

news Poor weather blamed for drop in White Rock’s metre revenue
Parking dollars take hit Alex Browne Staff Reporter
The less-than-stellar weather so far this year has taken a bite out of parking revenues in White Rock. That’s the word from city treasurer Sandra Kurylo, who said in her quarterly report to the finance committee that pay parking revenues were down $97,000, as of June 30, compared with the $1,333,116 generated in the same period in 2010. At this rate, she said, the income received from the meters could be $50,000 under budget by the end of the year. But a turn in the weather, particularly a string of sunny weekends, could make a significant difference, she added, judging from trends observed in June. “Staff have noted up to $17,000 fluctuation in revenues on a sunny Saturday versus a rainy Saturday,” she said in the report, which was to be presented to the committee Monday night, after Peace Arch News’ press time. But there are some brighter areas in the budget currently, she indicated, including an increase in building permits in the first six months of the year, up to 94 from 86 in the same period last year. Kurylo said staff are projecting building permit revenue of $400,000 by the end of the year, which would be $110,000 more than initial budget projections. Investment income was also up in the first six months of 2011, to $130,900 – $94,800 higher than for the same time

All proceeds will go directly to the foundation, which supports research to find a cure for intestinal and liver disorders. In addition to ticket sales, the cafe plans to donate a percentage of food and beverage sales from the entire day to C.H.I.L.D.

The City of White Rock’s parking revenue is down so far this year. last year, which Kurylo said was attributable to higher short-term interest rates for the period. While rates are hard to predict, she said, if they remain at the same level the city could be $50,000 over budget in investment income by the end of the year. Other budget areas show only minor increases or shortfalls – largely compensating for each other, Kurylo confirmed Monday. But a separate report from her indicates the city has spent far more this year in one area – consultants fees. By June, the city had paid $516,733 to consultants, compared with $269,497 for the same period of 2010. But Kurylo said Monday the difference was mainly attributable to a significant number of capital improvements underway. “The city has a substantial capital budget this year,” she told PAN. “It did have last year, but a
lot of projects were not finished and were carried forward to this year.” This includes such projects as the Centre For Active Living, the White Rock Museum and Archives renovation and upgrading of washrooms on the waterfront, she said. In many of the projects, provincial and federal grant funding is currently being recovered by the city, she added, but at the end of the day the city must pay its portion of costs, including consultants fees, depending on the funding formula for each project. The use of consultants also falls under criteria established by council policy, Kurylo notes in her report, which would include areas in which the required expertise is not available ‘in-house’ or for short term, one-time projects which would not be cost-effective to be handled by city staff.

news Darryl Cole serving time for 2007 grow-rip beating
Man jailed for murder found dead in his cell Sheila Reynolds Black Press
One of two men doing time for beating a man to death during a marijuana grow rip in Surrey nearly four years ago was found dead in his prison cell this month. Darryl Cole, 44, an inmate at Kent Institution, was found dead at about 4 a.m. July 13. Foul play is not suspected, according to a news release from Kent, but an investigation is underway. Cole was near the beginning of a 13½-year sentence (minus four years served) for manslaughter for the 2007 beating death of Michael Gerald Larson in Surrey. Cole and another man, Joshua Steve
Holl, both pleaded guilty to manslaughter and were sentenced in February. The pair was among four people who were planning to rob a marijuana grow operation that Larson was taking care of in a home near 156 Street and 48 Avenue. When they first broke into the home, Larson tried to run and was sprayed with pepper spray by Holl. Then Cole beat Larson with a bat until he was unconscious, and he was tied up while the thieves stole what they wanted and left. Holl is currently serving an eightyear sentence, minus 4½ years for time served. - with files from Jessica Peters
Prisoner awarded $5,000 Sheila Reynolds Black Press
A man who claimed he was refused religious services while in prison has been awarded $5,000 by the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal. Travis Kelly said that while doing time at Surrey Pretrial, Fraser Regional Corrections and North Fraser Pretrial between 2007 and 2008, he was denied his requests to access a First Nations liaison and spiritual literature. Lawyers representing the prison facilities argued the services weren’t allowed because Kelly was in segregation and allowing visitors would have posed a safety risk. Kelly argued that a
prison chaplain and Christian reading materials were readily available. Tribunal member Enid Marion ruled in her July 12 decision that the denial of First Nations spiritual services amounted to “discrimination based on (Kelly’s) ancestry and religion.” Kelly argued that his long stretches in segregation led to personal crises and suicidal thoughts, which religious counselling could have helped. In his human rights complaint, Kelly requested $15,000 in damages for injury to dignity, feelings and selfrespect. Marion concluded that a $5,000 award was appropriate. - with files from CTV

Regional fees to soar 44 per cent over five years Jeff Nagel Black Press
Even if local city councils freeze their property tax rates, home owners across Metro Vancouver are in for years of steep increases in the regional taxes and utility fees they pay. The typical home now pays Metro Vancouver $513 a year when the regional district’s property tax and fees for sewer, water and waste are all added up. But that’s slated to rise to $600 by 2013 and hit $740 per home by 2016 – a 44 per cent increase over five years. The numbers are contained in a financial projection tabled at Metro Vancouver’s finance committee earlier this month. The main culprit so far is the recently built $800-million Seymour-Capilano water filtration plant, which is now driving up water rates. But Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, who chairs the finance committee, said garbage and recycling costs are also set to climb – how high won’t be

known until the provincial government decides how Metro should dispose of excess garbage and the region signs contracts with either a landfill or waste-toenergy firm. The analysis estimates Metro’s garbage tipping fee will climb from $97 per tonne now to $153 by 2014 and $205 by 2016. The projected increases are conservative and could come in lower than estimated, Brodie added. The biggest bill on the horizon is the more than $1.4 billion required to rebuild the Iona and Lions Gate sewage treatment plants over the next two decades. Brodie said Metro wants the provincial and federal governments to provide “major contributions� to those costs, particularly since the upgrades from primary to secondary sewage treatment are mandated by Ottawa. The region is also weighing whether to adjust the formula for paying for the sewage projects. Under the current system,
much of the burden is to fall on the cities that use Iona and Lions Gate – Vancouver and the North Shore. “Our staff are looking to see if the division of cost is reasonable and equitable,� Brodie said, calling the projected hit to those cities “very, very significant.� Mayors say the challenging regional cost increases and inevitable hit to homeowners from Metro Vancouver underscore their argument that taxpayers are in no position to accept higher property taxes to also pay for transit upgrades, including the Evergreen Line. They’ve agreed to a two-cent fuel tax increase for the TransLink upgrades. A $23-per-home jump in property tax would also be needed only if they fail to agree with the province on different secondary source, such as a vehicle levy or second regional carbon tax. Brodie and several other mayors say fees linked to transportation are more appropriate than simply charging home owners more.

Coroners hurt by cuts: audit Jeff Nagel Black Press
Budget cuts are hampering the B.C. Coroners Service’s ability to more broadly investigate deaths and find ways to prevent them, B.C. AuditorGeneral John Doyle has concluded. His audit found the service is meeting its basic duties but could do much more within the scope of the Coroners Act. “A declining budget, coupled with escalating investigation expenses, are negatively impacting the quality
of service,” Doyle found. “This has the potential for more significant long-term repercussions.” The service’s budget was cut from $15 million to $13 million this year. Doyle also called on the province to clarify the coroners service’s role and then “step back to preserve the organization’s independence.” Individual coroners maintain their independence to ensure unbiased findings, he found, but warned current administrative
reporting requirements have “created real and perceived risks to the operational independence of the B.C. Coroners Service.” The service has been through three chief coroners since 2009 and been headed by an acting chief for long stints. “In the absence of steady leadership, management decisions in recent years have often been short-term reactions to issues of the day,” the audit said. Autopsy and body transport fees have risen, but the budget
has gone down, so the service has been forced to cut back on areas like training. The audit provides eight recommendations for bolstering the coroners service and its role. It also raised concern that the service’s Child Death Review Unit is shorthanded, slowing its progress in reviewing a significant backlog of child death cases. NDP public safety critic Kathy Corrigan said the government shouldn’t short-change a service that can help prevent deaths.

Surrey is one step closer to getting a much larger pretrial centre, as the province inks a deal with the company that will build the high-security facility. Last Tuesday, the province signed a construction deal with Brookfield Partnerships Surrey to deliver a 216cell facility by the current pretrial at 14323 57 Ave. Construction is beginning this summer and is expected to create 200 to 250 construction jobs and about 500 person-years of employment over the project’s anticipated two-year life. Upon completion, it will provide the equivalent of 130 new, full-time positions, including 100 front-line correctional officers. For the fixed $90 million in the agreement, Brookfield agrees to design, build, finance and maintain the facility for 30 years. It is to be completed in late 2013. The facility will be designed to LEED Gold standards, the highest level of sustainability ever achieved in a correctional facility in B.C. Expected benefits from the design include an improved working environment for staff
and lower operating costs over time as a result of reduced energy consumption and water use, abundant natural light and

Impaired driving rules working ount drinking and driving as another element of the 20th century’s car culture that’s been left behind in the 21st century. Earlier this month, the province made the obvious decision to keep tough rules introduced 10 months ago that have worked to curb the carnage caused by intoxicated drivers. Across B.C., there have been 30 deaths in a seven-month period that averaged 61 fatalities in each of the previous five years. The new regulations – with the threat of stiff fines, car impoundments and lengthy driving bans – are credited by police for the improved driving safety record. Police can now impose an immediate penalty on any driver who blows in the “warn” range between 0.05 and 0.08. Instead of issuing a 24-hour suspension or a formal impaired charge, police can impose a 90-day driving ban, a $500 fine and impound the vehicle for 30 days, with the owner on the hook for the towing and storage charges. The 50 per cent drop in drinking and driving related deaths is more than enough evidence to keep the new laws as they are – there had been talk of easing the rules after bars and restaurants complained the laws were too harsh and hurt business. However, while this has been somewhat true, there has also been an evolution in how people think about their drink. Whether switching from boozy beverages to mocktails or planning an alternative way to get home, the general public appears to have adapted to the new reality. Part of this can be attributed to fear of getting caught and facing hefty fines as well as a driving ban, but hopefully it also signals a sea change in society. Younger generations have grown up being told about the dangers of drunk driving and their education has rubbed off on older citizens. The glory days of gas guzzling vehicles are long gone and city planners are more and more looking at ways to keep people out of their vehicles altogether. Driving and drinking, once far too common, is also a relic of the past. Taxis, bus service and even courtesy rides from Good Samaritan organizations are now readily available for people who want to go out for a drink and get home without driving. The message is clear: There are options to avoid hitting the road hammered. The law works and it’s time for all B.C. drivers to work with it.

The government’s latest labour market survey estimates that B.C. will be in a labour shortage by 2016, and there will be one million job openings by 2020. One third of these will come from economic growth, two thirds from retiring baby boomers. Job growth does depend, however, on a competitive tax environment, with competition from Ontario and elsewhere. The public accounts also confirm what we found out last fall, that HST revenues have run ahead of expectations. HST haters like to claim the tax was promised to be revenue neutral. That finance ministry estimate was only for the first year, and it proved pessimistic. As with gasoline prices, external forces drown out B.C. tax adjustments in the short term. Currently it looks as if going back to the old provincial sales tax will cost the treasury about $600 million in revenue in each of the next few years. HST rate cuts are made up by economic growth. Or we can return to a 60-year-old retail sales tax developed for a post-war, preservice economy, and continue a B.C. political debate that revolves around 30-year-old socialist ideology. The deficit will immediately jump back up to the 10-digit range. So if your HST referendum envelope is still in the bottom of your recycling bin, you might consider fishing it out and casting a No vote. They have to be delivered to Elections BC by Aug. 5.

Students need voices heard Editor: In September, students will return to our schools in even greater numbers than when they left in June. Although the schools are dark, the Ad Hoc Committee Advocating for Surrey Schools – concerned with the serious overcrowding of schools and lack of capital funds since 2005 to build new schools – is increasing its efforts to work with the provincial government to secure immediate capital funding and ensure that they develop a long-term funding plan for education that meets the needs of Surrey’s growing community. Even if the government acted today, it will take up to five years and $273 million to build the schools Surrey needs today. Yet before construction of these schools is complete, our school population will grow by 4,000-5,000 students. We need funding commitments to meet this growth. This problem will have an increasingly negative impact on Surrey’s children and young adults, our future citizens, to serve Surrey’s future needs. You can help. Write, call or email your local MLA, our education and finance ministers, as well as our premier, and express your concerns on this issue. Linda Stromberg, Surrey Editor’s note: The committee, formed in March, comprises representatives from the city, business community, teachers union, CUPE, parents advisory councils and students.
Re: Calculations fail to add up, July 12 letters. Letter-writer Dr. Herbert Spencer completely misrepresented what I wrote on June 24 (Getting to ‘no’). My original letter merely noted that the GST was applied to nearly all purchases prior to the HST. Yet Spencer stated I “failed to recognize the HST is a combined tax, which adds a new tax – let’s call it the ‘GST extension’ – to the pre-existing GST, replacing, where applicable, the PST, to make a new integrated tax – the HST.” And he went on and on saying things that had nothing to do with what I stated, and was just a lot of double-talk to confuse the reader. In reference to what he said about letter-writer Randy Elliston, which was published below mine, you can see he again distorted the truth. For example, Spencer writes, “the full range of services taxed by the GST – and therefore HST – is vastly larger than the few goods taxed under the PST.” The statement is absolutely untrue. The range of goods tax by the GST was only 20 per cent greater than the PST. Also, the goods taxed by the PST were of the type most purchased by people. The lowering of the HST to 10 per cent, since it covers all goods and services, including those that were at 12 per cent under the PST/GST tax model, will actually save people money. Spencer has lost credibility, because of his misrepresentation of myself and Elliston and his childish
comments we should repeat our Grade 8 course on elementary percentages. It is unfortunate people will use such tactics to try and sway people’s votes on such an important issue such as the HST versus the PST/GST. Elmer Sather, Surrey
When do we start to learn? Editor: Re: Grandview plan riles committee, June 30. A neighbourhood concept plan that will bring 9,000 new people to Grandview Heights is 100 per cent opposed by the city’s own ecological management study. Surrey city council is set to once again bulldoze a forest the size of Redwood Park. The environmental advisory committee asks to meet with Surrey council, and their own council sloughs them off. The mayor says it’s too early to hear from the ecological advisory committee. How can it ever be too early to hear from a committee given the task of protecting our environment? In Surrey, the city council appoints you to a committee and then refuses to listen to you. Could it be that thousands of homes, and their building, and the taxes, and the roads, and the all-out greed by development fuels this council’s decisions? Is it window-
dressing? The council decides to appoint an environmental advisory committee, then chooses to ignore it. Our whole planet is now in the throes of mistakes that were made by others who ignored the environment. Global climate change, historic rainfall, deadly tornadoes, flooding, landslides… When do we start to learn? Now, I know we can’t solve the whole world’s environmental problems in the City of Surrey, but once upon a time we were known as the City of Parks. That was when it was more important to be livable than it was to be voted best mayor in the world. We had a proud environmental record; the city believed in green space and we believed in quality education. We believed the citizens had a say. It is unacceptable to have a mayor and council who refuse to listen to their own committees because they won’t give them the answers they want to hear. Al Schultze, the chair of the EAC, deserves more respect; our environment deserves more respect. Sure, we can cram thousands of more people into the City of Surrey. Sure we can build more and more townhouses and more and more condensed development. But where are our priorities? I am not talking about saving every tree that ever grew in Surrey. But we should save at least some of the best. Why can’t we develop in a way that allows more trees to stay? Gary T. Robinson, Surrey

Base argument on HST facts Editor: All agree that the HST is a VAT, value-added tax. In layman’s terms, it is a sales tax. All sales taxes are regressive. A regressive tax affects wealthy and poor, or less-wealthy, people in opposite ways. According to the dictionary, “in terms of individual income and wealth, a regressive tax imposes a greater burden on poor than on the rich – as there is an inverse relationship between the tax rate and the taxpayer’s ability to pay, as measured by assets, consumption or income.” In plain English, that means that regardless of rate of the HST – whether the current 12 per cent or the supposed change to 10 per cent – those with less income are affected worse by a regressive tax, a sales tax or value-added tax, than those with greater income. That alone should give all who want our society to be fair to those with less income pause before deciding to retain a tax that will hurt the poor more than rich, but will tax all of us on more goods. Food for thought. Based on fact, not emotion. Steven Faraher-Amidon, Surrey Q

One man’s efforts to get government response to railway ties – installed last spring – leaves him feeling breathless.
Keeping track of correspondence Editor: Re: Keep track of potential dangers, March 30 letters. Further to my and other readers’ letters pertaining to creosote railway ties laid down by the BNSF, I wrote to the minister of environment pointing out that in other industrial nations, creosote-treated wood is banned, as the mixture of crude oil, coal tar, etc. is dangerous to people’s health. The reply was that due to the volume of correspondence, I would receive a response in due course; meantime, visit the website to read about all the wonderful initiatives undertaken by the ministry. I wrote back to say that this is a matter of importance, the stench is unbelievable and people can get sick if they inhale walking along the promenade. No reply. Some 10 calls and additional emails later, an email on April 18, signed by Minister Terry Lake, stating that the issue falls under the jurisdiction of the provincial ministry of transport, and that he has forwarded a copy to the minister for “his review and consideration.” Another email to Lake informing him that in Canada, railways fall under federal, not provincial, jurisdiction. Copy to the premier, copy to the minister of transport,
with a reminder that the fumes are cancer-causing. More emails and calls to the premier’s office, minister of environment and transport. Then, on May 13, an email from an environmental management officer acknowledging that the B.C. minster of transport has no jurisdiction, that Transport Canada is responsible for all rail operations in Canada, etc. He also states that “the Environmental Management Act does not allow waste to be discharged as to cause pollution.” All nothing new. After some more correspondence pointing out that the question in my March 27 message was, “how can B.C. allow creosote-treated rail ties on the ‘The Best Place On Earth,’” the reply: Health Canada is responsible, please contact them. I have some friends in Ottawa and within 48 hours, I received a list of eight currently registered wood preservatives which are considered pesticides and as a result require registration under the Pest Management Regulatory Agency. Today, I set out to walk on the promenade but, due to the heat and an on-shore wind, the stench of the new ties made me turn around. Wolfgang Schmitz, White Rock

Jack Layton, seen here campaigning in the Kootneys in January, announced this week he is taking medical leave due to a cancer diagnosis.
NDP leader battling cancer
Layton taking medical leave Tom Fletcher Black Press
Federal NDP leader Jack Layton has announced he is taking an indefinite medical leave from the leadership of the party, after being diagnosed with a second type of cancer. Appearing thin and tired at a news conference in Ottawa Monday, Layton said treatment has continued to be successful for prostate cancer, which was diagnosed in 2010. He continued treatment until this year’s election that saw him elevated to leader of the official
opposition. Layton did not disclose what other kind of cancer has been detected, but vowed to recover and return to lead the party when the House of Commons resumes sitting in September. Layton recommended Hull-Aylmer MP Nycole Turmel, one of a surge of new Quebec MPs that lifted the NDP to 103 seats, to be interim leader. Layton was the focus of the campaign that saw a collapse of Liberal and Bloc Quebecois support.

White Rock educator helps develop teaching guide
Sharing love for the bog Hannah Sutherland
B
Staff Reporter
urns Bog has special meaning to Corinne Issel, who, as a small girl, would walk with her parents through the wetland that neighboured her childhood home. “I just fell in love with it,” Issel said. When she picked up running as a university student, Issel began frequenting the area’s trails. They permeated serenity, she said, and “the feeling that you were removed from our regular surroundings and in a place that is utterly unique.” It was during that time that Issel took more notice of the damaging effect human interference could have on the bog. “I became much more aware of the threats.” Now, with a young daughter of her own, the White Rock resident has found a way to share her love – and concern – for the Delta site with others. The former Surrey school teacher is celebrating the release ❝It’s important for of a publication helped develop people to realize she with the Burns what’s going on Bog Conservation Society to bring right here.❞ bog awareness and Corinne Issel education to students. For Peat’s Sake: A Complete Classroom Study on Burns Bog and Other Peatlands is a curriculum educators can use to teach children about biodiversity, living resources and life sciences, using Burns Bog as a prime example. The teaching resource was launched Sunday (July 24) as part of the society’s International Bog Day activities. “I’m excited… to see it come to fruition,” Issel said. The project has been five years in the making, and replaces a 15-year-old curriculum that Issel said has become
Hannah Sutherland photo
White Rock resident Corinne Issel flips through a teaching guide she developed with the Burns Bog Conservation Society. outdated. She was first introduced to the old teaching resource when her husband, Brad – a South Surrey teacher himself – purchased it at a professional development conference eight years ago. Issel, who was teaching at HT Thrift at the time, used it to create a Burns Bog unit for her Grade 4/5 class. “The kids fell in love with it,” she said. “At first, they didn’t know about (the bog), then they became very passionate. “It was an immense success.” Issel taught the unit the following year at another school, taking her class to an area of the bog that is now closed off to the public. “The field trip was really incredible because the plant life the kids had studied was there.” When teaching it again in 2006, Issel inquired at the Burns Bog Conservation Society about having a representative speak to her class. Karla Olson – who was starting work
on the new curriculum – overheard Issel, and asked if she’d like to use her teaching experience to collaborate on the project. Issel jumped on the opportunity, and the two began meeting on a regular basis, updating information and developing new material. “It took a really, really long time,” Issel said. The result is a 205-page guide that follows B.C. ministry guidelines, and includes lesson-plan suggestions and tips, kidfriendly illustrations and photocopiable reading materials and activities. Issel – who now runs a private tutoring service – said the resource also explores issues-based ideas, such as the power of individuals to create change and have a positive impact on the environment. It’s a message that can resonate around the globe, which is one of the reasons the material – which targets kindergarten to Grade 7 students – is expected to be used internationally. “It’s not just about Burns Bog... but the
fact that it’s this attitude we want to take around the world.” For those interested in learning more about the bog, but who don’t have use for the guide’s teaching material, a 103-page illustrated book has been released for adults and children alike. For Peat Sake: The Story of Burns Bog and Other Peatlands includes a special gift-giving page where donors can write a personal message. Issel said sponsorship opportunities are available for those who’d like to donate a copy to a school or public library. “This is meant to be something that’s a keepsake or gift,” she said. Issel hopes the entire project creates awareness about a natural gem many take for granted. “It’s a legacy for the community that I grew up in,” she said. “It’s important for people to realize what’s going on right here.” For more information, visit www. burnsbog.org

Spreading smiles A local florist shop brought smiles to Semiahmoo House last week, when it delivered 30 ‘be happy mugs’ to all the society’s female participants. “They were so excited and had lots of smiles,” Enchanted Harvest owner Lorraine Corbett said in a statement. “Everyone was really appreciative of the flowers.” The July 20 outreach was part of Make Someone Smile Week (July 17-23), an initiative started by Teleflora 11 years ago. The service organization donated more than 40,000 of its keepsake mugs for the project. Florists such as Enchanted Harvest created floral arrangements in the mugs to deliver to hospital patients, children living in care facilities and nursing home residents. Enchanted Harvest combined its donations this year with LaBelle Fleur in Surrey, which also distributed mugs to seniors homes in Delta.

Couple exchanges vows in hot-air balloon Hannah Sutherland
W
Staff Reporter
hile it’s not unusual for people to marry more than once, Jack and Julie Wadsworth have the unique distinction of being married three times – to each other. Their vow exchanges are even more unusual considering they were all made within five months, and one was held 2,000 feet above the ground. The South Surrey couple was first married in January – more than a year after meeting through Jack’s friend – in a small ceremony at a private home. “We really hadn’t treated it in our minds as the social occasion that it should be,” Jack said. The newlyweds – both of whom had been married before – decided to make a public declaration of their union with another wedding their friends could attend. Jack was determined to “do it in some unique style so we’ll never forget about when it was and where it was.” “We chose the hot air (balloon) because we really thought that really would be unique,” he said. “I was trying to think of unusual venues and this one just flashed into mind.” Julie – a mother of three who

said. With a party of eight that included a minister, the two said ‘I do’ after taking off from the Fort

We’re about 2,0002,500 feet, and we can clearly hear dogs barking.” To include other friends and relatives in their celebration, the Wadsworths exchanged the ❝I was trying to white jeans they wore on think of unusual venues and this the hot-air balloon for one just flashed more formal into my mind.❞ attire, and Jack Wadsworth renewed groom their vows yet again in a subsequent ceremony and reception at White Rock Community Centre. The couple requested donations to the Fraser Valley Seventh-Day Adventist Church in lieu of gifts, and raised $1,400 towards the construction of a new church. While Jack admits he’s not sure when they’ll celebrate their anniversary, there is still a more timely occasion the couple has to consider. They are making arrangements for a honeymoon – and they only have plans for one.

We should be blasé by now about the double entenAlex Browne dres, the misunderstandings, the surreal juxtapositions, half-baked explanations and perpetually-anticipated, but never quite realized, assignations. Instead, we are all a-quiver, too, awaiting the arrival of A Bedfull of Foreigners at the Coast Capital Playhouse, courtesy of the region’s leading and most loyal purveyors of the idiom, Ellie King’s Royal Canadian Theatre Company. The show runs Aug. 4-28 at the playhouse (1532 Johnston Rd.) with 8 p.m. performances Wednesday through Saturday and 2:30 p.m. matinees on Sundays.

Surrey’s the Shops at Morgan Crossing – seems to have a good handle on this Dave Freeman doorslammer, judging by a recent runthrough. “It all takes place at a seedy hotel on the French and German border,” said director King, in a brief break between scenes. Which hardly explains what the radiator in the room booked by Stanley (Sam Gordon) is doing hanging from the ceiling; or why Helga (Wendy Bollard) has a bad cold and is wearing a monk’s habit, nor why perpetually randy hotel manager Heinz (Brett Harrison)
is so keen to see Brenda (Nicole Smashnuk) take a bath, or why the romantic reminiscences of saucy cabaret entertainer Simone (Becky Hachey) and pompous businessman Claude (Walter Ekins) are so involved with biscuits (“You gave me a tin of custard creams,” she recalls. “So that’s where they went,” he replies.). Also featuring Gary Peterman as Karak, A Bedfull of Foreigners will feature a two-for-one preview night on Aug. 3 and a gala Aug. 5, with reception at 7 p.m. and performance at 8 p.m. For tickets, call 604-5367535 or visit www.rctheatreco.com
Max Tell The final segment of the Max Tell’s The Enforcer will be presented Wednesday, July 27 at 7 p.m. at Small Ritual Coffee Society, 1237 Johnston Rd. The new work for teens and adults – a departure from the award-winning White Rock author’s trademark storytelling for kids – is a gripping riteof-passage story about Rock Rogers, a bully and hockey ‘enforcer’ who comes face-toface with the realities of life and death during a white water rafting trip. Admission is free for teens, by donation for adults. For more information, call 604-538-9466, email robert@ maxtell.ca, or visit www. maxtell.ca
Small Ritual Doing its part to present different music locally is the not-for-profit Small Ritual Coffee Society on Johnston Road. In addition to Sunday night concerts, music-booker Rory Hislop has added a Monday night jazz showcase, including some of Vancouver’s best up and coming talents in the idiom, which is currently experiencing a revival of interest.
Both evenings (usually running 5-9 p.m.) offer a rewarding opportunity for local fans to catch up on the music scene of tomorrow in an agreeably intimate, art-friendly venue. For more information, call 778-294-1237.

Do you experience frequent bouts of anxiety and worry, losing sleep and feeling like you just can’t relax? Or perhaps you are wondering if you are depressed, as you often feel sad and tired much of the time. You have lost interest in life and you are withdrawing from your family and friends. Or maybe you have experienced childhood trauma and have tried to forget, but you find yourself overreacting in certain situations. You may have difficulty with anger, trust and boundaries.
DID YOU KNOW THAT UV CAUSES CATARACTS AND

Or, perhaps, you may be experiencing overwhelming grief after the loss of someone close or the end of a relationship or marriage. You are struggling to get through each day, wondering if you will ever recover. Or it could be, that you suspect you are dependent on alcohol or some other substance, and are beginning to see that you just can’t control it anymore. It’s these and other issues that often lead people to seek counselling. Ironically, some of the most painful and challenging experiences in life are also an opportunity for positive change and personal growth. With empathy and skill, a counsellor can provide a safe environment for clients to explore current areas of distress. We can change deeply held beliefs that we developed about ourselves that were impacting our self-worth, our relationships, and even our parenting. Painful childhood experiences that have continued to impact us as adults can be fully resolved. Counselling can also address isolated areas of everyday life that’s not quite working so well, and need only a few sessions to be on our way again. Counselling is a safe place where

Senior and squirt teams capture provincial titles
Renegades send squads to nationals Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
The White Rock Renegades will be well represented at Canadian fastpitch championships next month, after four teams qualified for nationals in the last two weeks. Last weekend at Softball City, the organization’s senior ‘A’ squad won its fourth consecutive provincial title, winning the championship game 9-0 over the Delta Heat Sunday. The Senior Renegades now prepare for nationals – they’re the defending national champions – Aug. 3-7 in Montreal. And in Richmond, the Renegades ’95 were runners-up at B.C. bantam championships and, last weekend in the same city, the Renegades ’97 finished second in peewee provincials – losing the final in extra innings. Both clubs advance to nationals. And while they don’t have a national showdown in the squirt division, the Renegades fared well at those provincials, too, with Ted Birdsall’s squad of 11-year-olds finishing in first place; the Renegades’ 10-year-old team finished just off the podium, in fourth, which Renegades president Gregg Timm called “quite amazing.” “They’re first-year players, so this certainly bodes well for them
down the road,” Timm said of the team, coached by Renegades alum Natasha Dypchey. Last year, the Renegades had perhaps its most successful season in the association’s history, with teams capturing a total of four provincial titles and two national crowns. And while those numbers are hard to beat, Timm was thrilled with the Renegades’ performances over the last few weeks. “Maybe not quite as good as last year – that was just a fantastic year for us – but it’s still very good,” he said. “We have some depth and some good strength in our association, so when you have a strong year one year, it usually continues.” He gave much of the credit for the program’s success to its stable of coaches, many of whom no longer even have daughters playing. “For an amateur association, we have a very stable coaching situation, and that usually leads to some pretty good success,” Timm said. The B.C. Midget Girls Fastpitch Championships were also held last weekend at Softball City, with Surrey Storm ’93 taking the title, with a 4-0 win over the Victoria Devils ’94. The two Renegade entries – the 1993- and ’94-born clubs – finished in the top eight.

White Rock loses 1-0 in do-or-die play-in game last week
Tritons edged by Athletics for PBL’s final playoff spot Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
The White Rock Tritons found themselves on the outside looking in last weekend, during the first round of B.C. Premier Baseball League playoffs. The Tritons finished out of the post-season after losing a winnertake-all play-in game 1-0 to the Okanagan Athletics Wednesday evening in Kelowna. The two clubs had identical regular-season records, and split
their head-to-head matchups 2-2, thus forcing the one-game showdown last week. The loss meant the end of the season for the Tritons, who started slow in the spring, before making a late run at a playoff position; they went 8-4 in their last 12 games. With the victory, the A’s – who have a pair of Peninsula players and former Tritons on its roster – nabbed the No. 8 seed, and advanced to a best-of-three series
against the first-place Nanaimo Pirates on the weekend. Okanagan won the first game 5-0, but the Pirates won Game 2 by a 10-0 score; Game 3 was played Monday after press deadline. In other playoff action, the Coquitlam Reds beat the North Shore Twins 2-0; the sixth-seeded Langley Blaze – who were No. 2 in the league until they were forced to vacate a dozen regular-season wins because they used ineligible players – beat the Parksville
Royals in two straight games; and the Victoria Mariners edged the Abbotsford Cardinals 2-1. Surrey’s other two Premier League Baseball teams, the Fraser Valley Chiefs and North Delta Blue Jays, did not make the playoffs, finishing 10th and 11th, respectively.
B.C. Selects One former Triton was named to Team B.C.’s roster for the upcoming 2011 Canada Cup, while
another current White Rock player was named as an alternate. Catcher Nathan Ackerman, who played last year in White Rock but now stars for the Okanagan Athletics, was named to the squad, while Tritons’ pitcher Adam Shumka will be an alternate. As an alternate, he’ll be named to the team in the event of an injury to another player. The Canada Cup, for U17 players, will be played Aug. 10-15 in Moncton, N.B.

Richard Weinberger earns top-20 finish in China
Swimmer strong at worlds Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Last week at World Aquatic Championships in China, South Surrey swimmer Richard Weinberger came within half a minute of an open-water title. The 21-year-old Weinberger, a former Pacific Sea Wolves swimmer who now lives and trains in Victoria, ended up 16th out of nearly 70 competitors in the 10-km open water event. His time of one hour, 54 minutes and 51.3 seconds placed him just 26 seconds behind the winner, Spyros Gianniotis of Greece. Germany’s Thomas Lurz and Russia’s Sergey Bolshakov were second and third, respectively. Weinberger was the top Canadian. The top-20 finish leaves Weinberger in good position to eventually qualify for the 2012 Summer Olympics; he currently sits in seventh in Canada, with 15 qualifying spots available. “I’m pretty pleased with my race,” said Weinberger in a release. “I was hoping for a top-10, but I achieved most of my goals.” The race was one of the toughest Weinberger has been a part of, he said following the race. “The finishing sprint of the race was very challenging because the pace throughout was very fast. It was really difficult to get around guys,” he said. “Great swimmers were falling off because the pace was so brutal.” Weinberger followed his 10-km performance by participating in a five-km team pursuit – along with Canadian teammates Aimeson King and Zsofi Balazs; the trio finished 10th. On the final day of competition, Weinberger competed in the five-km race, along with 51 other swimmers. The race was so close, and the lead group of swimmers so large, that a winner in the race could not be discerned even through video review; some swimmers finished less than a millimetre apart. Heat was also a factor

No place like home at Sunnyside Manor W
hen it comes time in life to consider moving from the home one has known and loved into a retirement residence, the thought can be overwhelming. It’s a situation Sunnyside Manor resident Nina Mackenzie knows all too well. “My family had suggested I go to a place like Sunnyside and I emphatically told them “no”, the 86-year-old recalls of her days living alone. It was just over a year ago when a tragic turn of events would force Nina to overcome her resistance to retirement living.
The unthinkable happened when a fire destroyed her South Surrey home and nearly all her belongings. Devastated by her loss and left homeless with no place to go, Nina’s neighbour suggested she temporarily stay at Sunnyside Manor, a retirement residence located at 15340 17 Ave in South Surrey. Sunnyside’s staff was quick to respond to Nina in her time of time of great need. “I owe my life to Sunnyside Manor, as I lost everything in the fire,” Nina says. “Sunnyside supplied me with
a lovely furnished room, all my meals and they cleaned my room every week and did my washing.” It wasn’t long before Nina was convinced that Sunnyside Manor was the perfect place for her, with friendly staff and great new friends. The array of activities soon helped her forget her worries about her loss. “The residents here have been so kind and friendly – it has brought me through a dramatic time in my life” Nina says with a smile. see page 23

LIBRA
Mars causes you to be in good spirits. You know what is important for your happiness and you are not afraid of anything. You are heading towards situations where everything you do will be important.
You have big hopes, and Jupiter will give you some amazing opportunities to realize them. Everything you do will have consequences, though, especially where other people are concerned.
TAURUS
SCORPIO
You are making new plans for your professional life. They will bring you an improved way of being as well as a great deal of success. You have some ambitions which will require you to be a tower of strength.
You tire easily at the moment. You need to look at life in a more positive way. You might have to explain some rather serious things to the people you love.

Planet Uranus causes you to be impatient in certain areas, and this influence exhausts you. Try and make allowances when you feel impatience creeping in.
Mercury causes you to be in a phase where everything becomes very complicated. You want people to be frank with you, and you are right to feel this way. You can be truly independent in several areas.
CANCER
CAPRICORN
The Sun makes you very happy with everything you are experiencing. You will see what is good and what isn’t for creating stability in your life.
Saturn helps you to feel confident and comfortable keeping your opinions to yourself. You will have to be unwavering about some things this week.

AQUARIUS
LEO You feel self-confident, and what you have to say is powerful. You mustn’t feel that you are wasting your time on trifles. Allowing yourself to believe that will be harmful to you.
You realize that your professional life is quite demanding. You are asking yourself some big questions about everything. You question whether what you are confronted with is in harmony with who you are.
PISCES
VIRGO The Moon helps you feel openness and love, and you know exactly what can improve your life. Nevertheless, your feelings are changeable, and this sometimes causes difficulties in your friendships.
You feel that nothing is happening as you had imagined. You are calling into question many important aspects of your life. This is a good thing, and you feel capable of great dignity.
