Secondary suites
Passerby saves boater
59 register, 19,941 to go
Water rescue
Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Six months after Surrey adopted a bylaw requiring all secondary suites to be legalized, 59 people have applied for permits. As of three months ago, out of the estimated 20,000 suites in the city, only one homeowner had applied for a permit to have his extra dwelling legalized. After more than 30 years of grappling with the issue, on Dec. 13, 2010, Surrey enacted legislation allowing one secondary suite per home throughout the city. Surrey views secondary suites as a necessary form of affordable housing stock. Part of the new legislation is intended to bring existing secondary suites up to current B.C. Building Code standards, so the units will be safer. Mayor Dianne Watts said it takes time for staff to get the word out about the new requirements. “There will be a time lag, and we keep moving forward and making sure that secondary suites are listed,” Watts said, adding there’s a whole “education piece” to the introduction of the bylaw that is currently being implemented. A corporate report to council is expected in the next few weeks, she said. When asked what action has been taken against the estimated 4,000 homes with multiple suites, Surrey city solicitor Craig MacFarlane said 261 files had been opened since Feb. 7, this year. Those homeowners were sent a registered letter letting them know they had to shut down, the timeline dependent on whether there were tenants in the building. MacFarlane said the majority of those 261 have been shut down. The city operates with a focus on compliance, he said, adding there have yet to be any fines issued or homeowners taken to court. That leaves an estimated 3,700 homes with multiple suites, and more than 16,000 with single suites.

Rescue crews greet a canoeist who was pulled out of the waters off White Rock by a Good Samaritan.
A canoeist who risked choppy waters off White Rock’s West Beach last week had luck on his side after his vessel capsized south of White Rock pier. With rescue crews en route, the middle-aged man was pulled from the water by a Good Samaritan who happened to have a boat nearby. “He was very lucky, extremely lucky, that this other guy was in the area and picked him up,” said Sig Kristensen, a member of the Crescent Beach Coast Guard Auxiliary Unit 5 team who raced to the scene. The incident was reported around 8:15 p.m. June 29. Police and fire crews responded to the waterfront area at the foot of Bay Street, as did paramedics. see page 4
Celebrity assignment leads to appearance on reality show
Military escort gets to Kiss… and tell Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
John Meneray wasn’t expecting much when he volunteered to help with a military display at a Vancouver fundraiser. But the night quickly turned into a whirlwind of celebrity meetings for the South Surrey man, and ended with a “crazy” opportunity he won’t soon forget – a chance to appear on rock legend Gene Simmons’ reality show, Gene Simmons’ Family Jewels. Jon Benjamin photo “This is just nuts,” Meneray told Peace Arch Gene Simmons, Shannon Tweed and Meneray. News last week. Initially, he wasn’t expecting his participation “It’s still kind of surreal. I watched the show to go beyond manning a weapons display and last night and it’s just – wow.” Meneray, a former CN Police officer who for helping with set up and take down efforts. He soon learned his night had more four years patrolled White Rock’s waterfront, scored the walk-on ❝It’s a crazy story.

Just when he thought his night couldn’t get better, Meneray was invited to join the dinner as a military guest. He wasn’t at Simmons’ and Tweed’s table, but that didn’t end his connection with the celebrity pair. During the evening’s auction, Meneray stepped to the stage as the former frontman for Kiss shared details of one of his items up for grabs: an appearance on Family Jewels. Bidding started at $20,000, Meneray noted. Building on the relationship established while escorting Simmons and Tweed, Meneray got up and headed for the stage. When Simmons spotted him coming, he readied the mic and Meneray went with the flow. “I pick the mic up and I go, ‘what’s the military discount?’” Meneray said. “I just wanted to make a joke and leave.” The joke got a laugh, and it prompted the response that would cap off Meneray’s night – an offer from one bidder in the crowd to buy the role for the first uniformed military person to get on the stage. see page 4

Kwantlen forum hears stories from Stanley Cup riot

ONLY THE BEST! WHOLE
Mob like ‘zombie movie’ Beef Kwantlen, described some of the things that cause people to behave violently, with the “mother of all variables” being income inequality. Lack of parental supervision, few extracurricular activities and violence in the home are also contributing factors, he said. Dr. Diane Naugler, a Kwantlen professor of sociology, said observers played a huge role in egging on the crowd. The proliferation of cameras and social media, she said, encouraged more people to stay, intensifying the riot. Cameras and social media legitimized the event as “post-worthy” as people posted it on Twitter and Facebook, she added. Former Vancouver Olympic boss John Furlong and former Nova Scotia deputy attorney general Doug Keefe have been appointed co-chairs of a review into the Stanley Cup riot. The review team is to report to the province and City of Vancouver by Aug. 31. It will look at the lessons of the 1994 Stanley Cup riot, and the plans by Vancouver Police to prepare for the 2011 event. – with files from Tom Fletcher

The night of the Stanley Cup riot, it was apparent many people in downtown Vancouver were not there to watch the hockey game, a Vancouver police officer told a gathering at Kwantlen Polytechnic University Wednesday. “Twice in my career have I been very, very scared for my well-being, and one of those was the night of the riot,” the officer said. The mood of the crowd June 15 turned ugly early and quickly. Before the first period of the game, people were already kicking windows and smashing bottles, said the officer, who asked that his name not be used for publication. As the game progressed, things got worse. “They weren’t even watching the game. They were drinking and looking around for a reason to cause trouble,” he said. What causes people to engage in riot activity was the purpose of last week’s forum, “Anatomy of a Riot,” held at Kwantlen’s Newton campus. The forum began with stories from people who were downtown that night. Heather Atkinson, 24, was huddled in a local

Atkinson, a lossprevention officer with London Drugs and a criminology student at Kwantlen, told the group of about 200 students she was holed up in the store with seven other loss prevention officers and a dozen staff. “How could I best describe it? It was literally from a zombie movie,” Atkinson said of the unruly mob. Dr. Roger Tweed, a professor of psychology at

news Seven-hour delay at U.S. border met with protesters
Rocky start on long journey into Cuba Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Some 70 placard-carrying people protested on both sides of the truck crossing as a 22nd annual Pastors for Peace Caravan heading from Vancouver to Cuba ran into a seven-hour glitch at the U.S. border last weekend. A van containing tools and medical, educational and sports supplies – part of the ecumenical agency’s annual challenge of the more than 50-year U.S. blockade of Cuba – was held up by border guards from just after noon until 7:30 p.m. Sunday, according to Janine Solanki, one of seven volunteers accompanying the supplies on a route that passes through the U.S. and Mexico before sailing from Tampico to Cuba.
The impasse was only cleared by a legal representative for the organization, she said Monday, in a phone interview from Washington State where the caravan is continuing on its journey. For Solanki, a Vancouver resident who grew up in Cloverdale, this is her second trip with one of the Pastors for Peace Caravans – but she said it was the first time in some 17 years the project has been held up crossing from Canada into the U.S. “This is humanitarian aid, but they were saying the supplies were commercial goods, and that we had to buy an $800 bond (to ensure the goods didn’t stay in the U.S.).” “We protested it because not only is it not legal, but when it happened before, the second year the
caravan came down from Canada, they didn’t return the bond.” Solanki said the crowd of protesters was easy to raise, as supporters had gathered on both sides of the border at Peace Arch Park July 3 before the crossing was attempted. “Usually, they just pass us through,” she said, adding the van originally attempted to cross the border at Peace Arch Park but was directed by U.S. authorities to the truck crossing. The caravan from Vancouver is one of 13 Pastors for Peace routes to Cuba being travelled this year, Solanki said, with events planned in some 130 U.S. cities to raise the profile for Pastors for Peace projects, such as encouraging students to attend an international medical

Protesters challenge bond request. school in Cuba. Usually, more trouble is expected when crossing into Mexico. “They’ve confiscated computers, even a yellow school bus that was being donated to Cuba.”
Volunteer Alicia Jrapko, a U.S. citizen who lives in Oakland, Calif., was one of two people in the van when it was held up at the border. “The humanitarian supplies are a gesture to the Cuban people – they wouldn’t solve any problems in Cuba, but they are a challenge to the blockade,” she said. She said she and a companion were asked to leave the van while it was X-rayed, and a U.S. representative insisted a bond would have to be purchased for the goods. “Eventually, our lawyer called the man’s supervisor and pointed out a bond is not required for humanitarian aid,” she said. “I think it helped that we had people with placards on both sides of the border. They don’t seem to like that.”

Future of White Rock ‘down to political will’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
When it comes to the future of White Rock’s town centre, there are many visions of what it should look like. For some, the picture includes more pedestrian pathways. Others can see a treed buffer along North Bluff, distancing the city from the bustle of the busy thoroughfare that separates it from Surrey. Many who participated in the recent ‘charette’ agreed a town square should be in the heart of it all – a place for concerts and other gatherings that would bring the community together. But while interest in transforming the uptown area into something better was evident at a community consultative forum held last week, optimism the vision would ever become reality was lacking. “It’s obviously good to have a plan,” said Michael Armstrong, a White Rock resident who participated in the two-day charette in April that led to the June 29 forum. “It’s everybody just waiting to see something hap-

Michael Armstrong looks over designs. pen. It’ll be beautiful if it happens.” Armstrong was among several who gathered for the April discussions. He was among more than 50 who attended the White Rock Community Centre Wednesday to see how the ideas had been interpreted – and was disappointed to find a town square lacking from the designs presented. He was not the only one with doubts as to whether the ideas would come to fruition. “Historically in White Rock, the developer
has been driving the engine when it comes to what we’ve gotten,” one woman commented during a question-and-answer period. “How do we guarantee this charette won’t be put on a shelf somewhere and forgotten? Where does this plan fit in terms of becoming policy that can’t be over-ridden?” According to Paul Stanton, the city’s director of planning, that will require action on the part of staff and council to integrate whatever plan the community supports into White Rock’s Official Community Plan. “You come up with a plan, you make it policy, you make it regulation – that’s how you keep it in place,” Stanton said. It will also be incumbent on the community to hold the city to the plan, said Lance Berelowitz, an urban planner and architect whose design team is helping the city prepare the town centre plan. “I guess it will come down to political will, as expressed by you folks every three years or so,” Berelowitz told the crowd. In walking attendees through a series of design panels, Berelowitz emphasized the
sketches do not represent a set-in-stone vision, “but a wide range of interests and ideas” for the area, bounded by Martin Street to the west, George Street to the east, Thrift Avenue to the south and North Bluff Road. “We were trying to open things up rather than narrow them down,” he said. Berelowitz noted less than 50 per cent of the land in the study area is likely to be redeveloped over the plan’s lifetime – 20-25 years. Other ideas presented included extending Bryant Park north across Russell Street; increasing pedestrian connectivity; establishing gateways at each end of the town centre; moving city hall uptown; and implementing more traffic calming. Berelowitz recommended focusing retail along Johnston Road, widening sidewalks and keeping building heights along the thoroughfare to four storeys, with anything above that set back from the main road. Meetings to further refine the plan will be held, Stanton said. The hope is a final plan will be ready for council’s perusal in September.

Rescue crews urge water safety from page 1 The Canadian Coast Guard’s hovercraft was also tasked out, after word of a second overturned craft, but was diverted to another incident after White Rock firefighters confirmed no other vessels were in distress. Kristensen estimated the man was in the water for about 10 minutes before help arrived; he was in the dinghy by the time the auxiliary team was able to get there. The auxiliary team assessed the
man on the water before he was transported to shore for further assessment by paramedics. Kristensen did not know why the canoeist had set out, but speculated it was to check crab traps. He noted a White Rock man who took a similar risk in April 2001 paid for the choice with his life. Risks taken by rescue crews were highlighted earlier Wednesday, when rescue efforts ended in tragedy with the drowning death of a volunteer near Creston.
The White Rock incident that evening was the local auxiliary’s only June water rescue. Kristensen said boaters can also learn from an incident May 18, in which three people had to be rescued from an 18-foot boat after a mechanical failure caused the vessel to start taking on water near Point Roberts. “They were probably up to their knees in water when we got there, and they still didn’t have lifejackets on,” Kristensen said.
Tweed’s tweet elicits Twitter fans from page 1 “I was on it before he even finished what he was saying.” Meneray and a lieutenant from Vancouver Island will be flown by private jet to the California set for taping in August. He’s been sworn to secrecy as to exactly what situation he’ll play a
role in, but he said the episode will be one of the season’s last. Filming won’t be his only memory from that night, however. Tweed tweeted a photo of her and Meneray cheek-to-cheek describing Meneray as her date for the night. Within minutes, Meneray had 80 new followers

City officials to rethink Ocean Park road improvements
Intersection plans stalled
Pack Up and Go! JOIN US
Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Plans to improve a “tricky little intersection” in Ocean Park aren’t back to square one – but they’re close. City of Surrey engineer Philip Bellefontaine said officials are taking another look at where 128 Street and Marine Drive connect, after residents raised concerns a four-way stop may be installed. “We’re in the process of going, ‘what do we do?’” Bellefontaine said. “We’re being asked to look at it again, and that’s a reasonable request. It may come up with an alternate approach or it may re-confirm our original recommendations.” Area residents approached the city late last summer with concerns about improving safety for pedestrians. They noted the intersection – which is just north of the Kwomais Point Park driveway – has no marked pedestrian crossing, visibility is restricted and drivers don’t slow down. “It’s a major hazard,” Nicole Nelson said at the time. Bellefontaine told Peace Arch News last September that plans for enhancing the intersection included repositioning the park’s entry to the intersection and creating a stop-controlled crossroads, with east-west traffic given prior-

The work, hoped to get underway early this year, was to be a joint effort between the parks and engineering departments. But when funding for the parks side of the project was delayed – it won’t be in place now until 2012 – it forced engineers to question whether moving ahead without all the pieces was logical. “We took sort of a breather to say, OK, there isn’t going to be that new access right away… should we be trying to construct or improve the intersection without that happening?” Bellefontaine said last week.
A key goal of any change in the area is to slow drivers down, Bellefontaine said, explaining reasoning behind possible installation of a four-way stop. Residents’ opposition to the concept drove the rethink. They’re concerned a four-way stop will further increase noise in the area. Nelson told PAN last month that they would fight “tooth-and-nail” against a four-way stop at the site. “We are staying positive and hoping the city will help us deal with these issues,” she said by email Friday, adding residents are appreciative of the city’s efforts. Bellefontaine said the review is underway, and the results will go to the city’s transportation committee for additional comment.
Branding White Rock
Ruby : Contest to complete the King of Gems ‘city by the sea…’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Now that the City of White Rock has a brand, officials are asking citizens to add their own personal touch to it. A contest running through July 15 invites residents of all ages to complete the phrase “My/Our City by the Sea…” The phrase was endorsed as the city’s brand at the May 30 council meeting, where it was described by city manager Peggy Clark as an inclusive slogan that can be tailored for any group, individual or initiative. At the time, Clark recommended citizens be given the opportunity to weigh in on what they think best completes the phrase. Suggestions are being collected “to get an idea what White Rock means to different individuals,” Clark said this week. “What it means to a little kid versus someone my age. We want everyone to feel part of My City by the Sea, or Our City by the
“Packing Magic: How to Pack a Carry-On“
Sea.” Submissions are being accepted in four categories – preschool and elementary, high school, adult and senior – and the phrases may be used in future city publications and promotional material. One winner drawn at random from each category will receive a $50 White Rock Leisure Services gift certificate. Clark noted the contest is not doubling up on details being addressed on contract by ThornleyHayne. In approving the brand last month, council authorized the company be paid up to $5,000 from the city’s economic reserve to finalize its details. Those details include font and colours, as well as if the brand will be worked in with such elements as the wave that currently appears on city publications, Clark said. Contest submissions may be emailed to tarthur@city.whiterock. bc.ca, or dropped off at any city facility.

Rude drivers? Take a look in the mirror
T
hey cut in without signalling, speed, tailgate, yak on their cellphones and blast their horns in anger. No doubt about it, Lower Mainland motorists are a belligerent bunch. So says a new opinion survey conducted by Ipsos Reid for ICBC. According to the poll, 55 per cent of residents believe drivers in their communities have become less courteous over the past five years. Forty per cent said it’s about the same while three per cent thought drivers are more courteous. Most people surveyed (82 per cent) had encountered fellow drivers who were late in signalling or didn’t signal at all – the single biggest peeve cited in the survey. Seventy-one per cent reported being tailgated, 68 per cent said other drivers refused to let them merge or change lanes and half said they’d been cut off. But there were also the bad-mannered louts who yelled, swore, made obscene gestures, waved their arms or fists, flashed their lights menacingly, and even (let the road rage begin) stole parking spots. Who are these motoring miscreants, these behind-the-wheel warriors whose heated emotions can impair other drivers’ ability to concentrate and react on the road, thereby putting everyone at increased risk of crashing? Certainly not you… right? Along with drivers behaving badly, the poll also revealed an amusing disconnection: drivers in denial. While those surveyed gave their fellow motorists a “C” letter grade for courteous driving, they gave themselves a stellar “A” or “B” rating. In other words, most Metro Vancouver drivers don’t believe they’re part of the problem. The late comedian George Carlin once said, “Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?” Next time you get annoyed in traffic, better give that rearview mirror a second look.

68 responding this has more to do with the decline of forestry and fishing than any failure of governance. Nisga’a Lisims President Mitchell Stevens issued a statement rejecting the report’s findings, citing two factual errors and denying that he had participated. Quesnel, a Quebec Metis with a background in journalism, said he was welcomed on his initial visit and was even invited to attend a Nisga’a Lisims executive meeting. But he said Stevens and other officials “stopped responding” as the project progressed. In his statement, Stevens described the code of conduct for Nisga’a officials and the complaint process people can use to hold them accountable for decisions. The president dismissed the “colourful commentary” of a few “key informants” who didn’t expect to be quoted. Quesnel says that despite the slow progress, he remains convinced the Nisga’a treaty is a positive step. Now investors have only one government to deal with, and the region has electricity, mining and gas development on the drawing board. And there are lessons to be learned by other aboriginal communities, such as tackling dependency and addiction problems before a treaty is signed, and bringing in experts to set up businesses. “Mitchell Stevens, when I spoke to him, was optimistic about the ability to reduce transfers, even eliminate them,” Quesnel said. “Without financial independence, I think political self-government is really an illusion. Ultimately, you’re still dependent.” Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Higher taxes bring little Editor: Who is Premier Christy Clark trying to kid? Does she think British Columbians are stupid? First the BC Liberal government says the HST will be revenue neutral. Now if we don’t have it, we’ll have a $3 billion shortfall in the provincial budget. Bear with me; I’m not an economist or financial guru, but let’s see if I can do this math – $1.6 billion returned to Ottawa, leaving $1.4 billion that the province would not have made under the PST. How is that revenue neutral? The Canadian federal government has agreed to allow the B.C. portion of the HST to be reduced to 10 per cent by July 2014. Why wouldn’t they? The federal government stands to collect five per cent more in taxes on items that were exempt under the old GST. The reduction does not affect the federal government, but a return to the old GST sure would. The federal government is in collusion with the BC Liberal government. Both would boldly lie to the people of B.C. whom they serve. In fact, the BC Liberal government have lied to the people of B.C., in my opinion. Even at 10 per cent, the HST will collect more tax than the seven per cent PST plus the five per cent GST, because of how the taxes are applied. In the meantime, the HST will be 12 per cent until July 2012, then 11 per cent until July 2014, when it will finally be reduced to 10 per cent. How much extra tax will the BC Liberal government rake in during that time? They have taken in an extra $820 million more than expected during the first 11 months of the HST. Do you see better health care or education? Do you see lower unemployment? Do you see lower prices? These were all things the HST was supposed to bring. Come on, B.C. Wake up and vote ‘yes’ to extinguish the HST! Bryan Peterson, Surrey
Blame misguided Editor: Demonstrators in Vancouver protesting about the actions or inaction of the city police and the mayor with respect to the recent Stanley Cup riots is disturbing. Finger pointing at the police or the mayor is totally misguided. The police nor the mayor did not start these riots; a totally dysfunctional sector of our community did! Perhaps it would make more sense to ask, why do young members of our society feel so disconnected that they feel they have to act out in the way they did? What are the shortcomings in our educational system which does not leave our children with a solid sense of social responsibility, of respect for public
property, of a sense of personal integrity, and respect for the rule of law? Or is it the parents who are not impressing these values upon their children? Pointing the finger at those serving our community is not where the problem lies. There are shortcomings in our society which point to far greater issues with respect to the core values we hold dear in our community. Citizens of Vancouver and surrounding communities expressed their views when they assisted with cleanup, wrote hundreds of comments on boarded-up store windows and posted stickers of support on a police car. They felt the shame and essentially have said to that “dysfunctional sector” that their behaviour is unacceptable. So, if the finger is to be pointed, it should be toward ways to bring that wayward group into the mainstream of a respectable and caring society. To paraphrase John F. Kennedy, perhaps the question should be posed to them: ask not what you can do to your community; but, what you can do for your community. L.N. (Len) Giles, Surrey
The gift of guidance Editor: This spring, BC Guide Dog Services, working in partnership with Autism Support Dogs, trained and placed its 100th service dog. We’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate our volunteers, donors and supporters in this community for this tremendous achievement. All of our puppies are raised in the homes of Zulu volunteers, who provide love and care 24/7 for about 16 months. In fact, many of our dogs have grown up in White Rock/South Surrey, including Zulu who lives in White Rock, so your readers may see him around town in a training jacket – please ask before petting him. On average, it costs $37,000 to breed, raise and train one of our dogs, which is far too great of a burden to pass on to a recipient in
need. Thanks to our volunteers and donors, we are able to provide guide dogs for visually impaired people and support dogs for families with autistic children at no cost to them. We are so thankful to have the support of the White Rock and South Surrey community. Congratulations again for making a difference in so many lives. William S. Thornton, Delta
Penalize those who run away Editor: Re: Make them pay for taking off, June 10 letters. Congratulations to letter-writer Richard Bradley for the article about hit-and-runs. Hit-and-run drivers, when caught, should be given double plus 10 years jail time. Many lives could be saved if help would be called right away. Also, there should be a faster way for the police to catch these drivers. Why not make every body shop, by law, report cars that show collision damage? That would certainly rectify this problem.

Replacing White Rock’s City Hall – built in 1962 – should not be civic leaders’ priority, writes Steven Hughes.
New hall a city-wide decision
Editor: Re: Action on new city hall ‘long overdue,’ June 28. Once again we are revisiting the new-city-hall saga… So, we have council members who are struggling to convince themselves that a new city hall makes financial sense. It does not. To claim that building a new city hall makes financial sense is simply not true, no matter who on council tries to make the case. However, even though this topic has been flying very low on the White Rock radar, it seems the idea is far from dormant. It appears there is quiet support from enough council members to approve spending millions of dollars – without bothering to take a public vote. Whether or not you believe a new city hall makes sense, the idea of proceeding to spend millions of tax dollars without the public’s express support is madness. The larger issue is that the city doesn’t have to build a new city hall it doesn’t need. Given the lagging economy, and spiraling costs of city services, I would hope the last thing any rational politician should consider, at barely five months till election time, is to spend taxpayers money on a new shrine to house the city’s bureaucracy. But given past experience with current and previous White Rock councils, it is not hard to imagine a project of this magnitude moving forward without a public vote as long as councillors believe it makes financial sense. Elected officials need to realize they are not given carte blanche to spend tax dollars on a whim. In a city of fewer than 20,000 people, why can civic services not
be spread across several sites? The Mel Edwards Centre that was recently built was perfectly suited to have floors added to support new office space, at a fraction of the cost of demolishing and building a new city hall. Let’s face it, in a city the size of White Rock, there’s no need operationally for a new and larger building. The recycled sales pitch argues that a new city hall would save taxpayers money because it could accommodate all city offices that are now spread out in the city. Well consider this; email and the ever-changing technological landscape we live in basically eliminates the need for city staff to be in the same building. In reality, the city council has bigger issues to consider than a new building, the most glaring being the exodus of business from our city. For a refreshing change, let’s have a council focused on solving some real problems. Council wants a new city hall? Put a referendum on the November ballot and let’s see who really supports it. Steven Hughes, White Rock Q By all means, let’s build a new city hall! How about the Oxford and Marine Drive property where White Rock Muffler now sits? A four- or six-storey edifice should be sufficient. Of course lots of taxpayer and employee parking should be made available. Air-conditioning shouldn’t be a problem by just opening a few windows. Providing solar heat on the roof should resolve the furnace-replacement problem. R. Powell, White Rock

Surrey one of first detachments in B.C. with the technology
Fingerprint scans shorten time for criminal checks Kevin Diakiw Black Press
A new digital fingerprint scanner with the RCMP will greatly reduce the amount of time to receive a criminal record check, often required for volunteer work. In April, Surrey RCMP became one of the first detachments in the province with the new scanner. The Surrey RCMP processes more than 25,000 criminal record checks annually, with about a third of those considered the “vulnerable sector� checks for people wanting to do work in health care, social work, day care, sports coaching or taxi driving. “With the new system, fingerprints can now be analyzed in around eight to 10 days, whereas it had previously taken months. This technology enables us to provide a much faster turnaround time to the community, and will be a welcome service improvement, particularly for those seeking employment or volunteering opportunities,� said Tim Matheson, Surrey RCMP

The new Live Scan electronic fingerprint machines also help to speed up the processing of pardon and immigration applications, name changes, security licences and police certificates. Fingerprint services are currently available at the Surrey RCMP Main Detachment at
14355 57 Ave. (Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday). The Surrey detachment has secured a second digital fingerprint scanner which will soon be installed at the Guildford-Fleetwood District Office. It is anticipated that the second machine will be available by fall.
Carol Berner’s bail extended Carol Berner, the woman convicted of impaired and dangerous driving in connection with the 2008 death of toddler Alexa Middelaer, is expected to learn in two weeks when her appeal will be heard. Crown counsel John Gordon told Peace Arch News last week that he and Berner’s lawyer, David Tarnow, are due back in B.C. Court of Appeal chambers July 14. “I fully expect we will have a date for the hearing of the appeal fixed,â€? Gordon said. Berner, 58, was convicted last July, following a fourweek trial in Surrey Provincial Court. Her sentence included 2½ years in prison and a five-year driving prohibition. She learned in November that an appeal of her conviction and sentence had merit, however, a date for the hearing was not set, and she was released on bail until June 15. Gordon said a bail extension was granted until July 15 during an appearance in appeal court chambers earlier this month. He expects
it will be further extended at the July 14 meeting until the actual hearing date. Typically, appeal cases are heard within a year from the date an appeal is filed, with three judges presiding. He noted the judge presiding over the
process to date “has expressed a very strong view� that the appeal should be dealt with within the one-year guideline. At the June appearance, bail was only extended by a month “because the judge wanted to
keep the flame to Mr. Tarnow’s feet,� he said. Gordon said an appeal of this nature is usually given half a day to be heard. For anything longer, Tarnow would have to prove special circumstances, he said. - Tracy Holmes

WATERING RESTRICTIONS WHITE ROCK JUNE 1 - SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 Stage 1 Watering Restrictions

Tools, gloves and refreshments were available at the June 18 clear-out day, which was open to the public. Above, Friends of the Semiahmoo Heritage Trail member Norm Menzies drags a load of holly from the trail; left, volunteer Paul Wittal removes some invasive plants from along the trail.
Couple killed in “Put a little fun back in your life!” house fire Step up to Spring at the Peninsula Relatives are mourning the loss of a Surrey husband and wife killed in a tragic house fire in Royal Heights just days after they celebrated their nephew’s wedding. Sashi Singh, 69, and his 62-year-old wife, Pushpa Reddy, were unable to escape from their home in the 12000-block of 97 Avenue when the blaze broke out just before 3 a.m. June 30. Neighbours called 911 but the house was already engulfed in flames and Surrey RCMP said it was too unstable for fire crews to go inside. The couple’s 27-yearold son jumped out a window and was treated for minor injuries. The family had just begun a reunion, with relatives arriving from Fiji, Australia and New Zealand for the wedding. Police initially said the fire did not appear suspicious but now say all possibilities are being considered. Witnesses can call 604-599-0502.
As part of EPCOR White Rock’s ongoing commitment to water conservation, we encourage you to be water wise.

news Decision in response to postal service delays
Let the sun shine!
HST referendum extended to Aug. 5 Jeff Nagel Black Press
B.C. voters will get an extra two weeks to decide the fate of the harmonized sales tax. Acting Chief Electoral Officer Craig James has extended the HST referendum deadline to compensate for mail delivery delays stemming from the Canada Post labour dispute. The delay had been requested by NDP Leader Adrian Dix, who called the extension a victory for the democratic process. Ballots that had been due back July 22 must now be returned to Elections BC by 4:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 5. Eligible voters who are not on the voters list will now get until July 22 to
request a voting package. The ballot packages came with a postage-paid envelope, but voters can also choose to directly return their ballots to a Service BC or Elections BC collection centre by Aug. 5. (Locations listed at www.elections.bc.ca) Elections BC says voters should receive their voting packages by July 7. Results of the referendum may not be known until September. Voters are asked to vote ‘Yes’ if they want to eliminate the 12-per-cent HST and return to the combination of the five-per-cent GST and seven-per-cent provincial sales tax. They’re to vote ‘No’ if they want to keep the HST. The province has pledged to lower the rate to 10 per cent by 2014.
NDP leader accuses premier of hiding
Clark turns down debate Jeff Nagel Black Press
Premier Christy Clark has turned down a challenge from NDP Leader Adrian Dix to a one-on-one debate on the harmonized sales tax. Christy Clark Dix accused Clark premier of so far avoiding debate on the issue and proposed a debate on CKNW’s Bill Good Show. “When she had a chance to debate the HST in the legislature she shut proceedings down just before she was due to speak,” Dix said. “I’m inviting her to do the right thing and participate in this forum.” He said the BC Liberals under Clark are heading a partisan campaign to sell the HST to voters, who decide the fate of the tax in a referendum. Clark was previously criticized for avoiding local candidate debates
during the Point Grey byelection this spring, choosing instead to use telephone town halls to reach voters. “We won’t be playing those games,” Clark Adrian Dix responded in a NDP leader statement issued by her staff, adding voters need to make the HST decision on the merits of the policy, not a debate of leaders. Dix accused her of hiding from a debate and said his offer stands. “Premier Clark’s allies in the Smart Tax Alliance are running ads that say the ‘PST/GST gang is hiding from an honest debate,’” Dix said. “Now we know who’s really hiding.” Referendum ballots are expected to be delivered by July 7. Elections BC officials have extended the July 22 deadline for ballots to be returned to Aug. 5.

Staff Reporter
For Fraser Tilley, who teaches at Newton Elementary, the inspiration for getting the ball rolling for the trip is rooted in her own international Guiding experience. In 1984, she was selected to lead a group of four Guides from B.C., Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick to the Switzerland World Centre, Our Chalet. She had such a memorable time exploring Switzerland and Germany with the group that she made it a personal goal to one day provide a similar opportunity for other girls.
Kids who get the chance to travel benefit from broadened horizons, she said. “It really rejigs their thinking.” Shortly after their July 19 return, a number of the Guides will participate in a provincial camp taking place in Agassiz. Two thousand girls and Guiders are expected to participate in the sixth Spirit of Adventure Rendezvous (SOAR). The weeklong camp offers opportunities to take part in activities ranging from cooking and campfire sing-a-longs, to scuba diving and geocaching.

Community garden takes root in White Rock Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
White Rock officials dug in to celebrate a milestone Wednesday, with the official opening of the city’s community garden. Located on Vine Street – just east of Centennial Park and adjacent to the Eve Bene Butterfly Garden – the garden sports 21 plots which are leased annually on a first-come, first-served basis. The idea of a community garden in the city has been discussed many times over the years. Actually establishing one was named as a strategic goal last year, deemed an objective that would help foster an inclusive community. Coun. Helen Fathers said it was nice to see the idea come to fruition. Fathers, who grew up in Britain – where the concept is commonplace – said such gardens aren’t simply about planting seeds. “There’s a little community that goes on with community gardens,” she said. “It’s not just about garden-

The BC Liberal/Big Business
TOP 7 HST MYTHS The BC Liberal “myths” about the HST just keep piling up. Following is their latest Top Seven – all new and misleading as ever – HST Myths: 1. The HST is now 10% - False
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING - MONDAY, JULY 11, 2011
The HST is 12% and will not be 10% for three years – if ever. There will be an election before that, and even if the HST were to miraculously drop to 10% - it will still apply to hundreds more goods and services than a 12% PST/GST for a total tax increase to consumers of $1.6B per year. And who says it won’t go right back up again later?
DEVELOPMENT LOCATION MAP BY-LAW 17440
2. The HST will lower taxes – False This one is hilarious. The HST increases taxes for British Columbians by $2.8 Billion per year. That’s an average annual increase of $500 per person - or $1208 per average family – forever. Finance Minister Falcon says if his side loses he may disregard the result and expand the PST to items previously exempt – which would be illegal. Do you really trust this guy to cut the rate if he wins?
3. The HST will save you money - False And the tooth fairy is going to leave you a quarter under your pillow too. To get their numbers to show the HST actually “saving” you money they are calculating only “routine purchases” and that 90% of what you pay in HST will be passed back to you in lower prices. Have you seen lower prices?... We didn’t think so.
4. The HST benefits seniors - False Surrey Zoning By-law, 1993, No. 12000, Text Amendment By-law, 2011, No. 17428 APPLICANT: City of Surrey 14245 - 56 Avenue, Surrey, BC V3X 3A2 PROPOSAL: “Surrey Zoning By-law, 1993, No. 12000”, as amended, is further amended in Part 1 Definitions by deleting the definition of “Small-Scale Drug Store” in its entirety and inserting the following in its place: “means a commercial establishment with a gross floor area of less than 600 square metres [6,450 square feet] which fills a broad range of pharmaceutical prescriptions and excludes methadone dispensary”. This amendment will categorize small-scale drug stores as pharmacies or commercial establishments which fill a broad range of pharmaceutical prescriptions but exclude methadone dispensaries (as detailed in Planning Report 7911-0114-00 Dated June 27, 2011).
Surrey Official Community Plan By-law, 1996, No. 12900, Text 107, Amendment By-law, 2011, No. 17434 APPLICANT: City of Surrey 14245 - 56 Avenue, Surrey, BC V3X 3A2 PROPOSAL: To amend the “Surrey Official Community Plan By-law 1996, No. 12900”, as amended, is hereby further amended in Division A. Schedule B “Temporary Use Permit Areas”, by deleting “Temporary Commercial Use Permit Area No. 17” and replacing with “Temporary Commercial Use Permit Area No. 17 - Temporary Real Estate Sales Centre”. This application will permit the development of a temporary real estate sales centre at 13260 Old Yale Road for an adjacent proposed residential project in Surrey City Centre (as detailed in Planning Report 7911-0105-00). Additional information may be obtained from the Planning & Development Department at (604) 591-4441. Copies of the by-law(s), development variance permit(s), supporting staff reports and any relevant background documentation may be viewed in the “Notices” section of the City of Surrey website at www.surrey.ca or inspected at the City Hall, Monday through Friday (except statutory holidays) between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. from Tuesday, June 28, 2011 to Monday, July 11, 2011. All persons who believe their interest in property will be affected by the proposed by-law(s)/ development variance permit(s) shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard at the Public Hearing on matters contained in the by-law(s)/development variance permit(s). Should you have any concerns or comments you wish to convey to Council, please fax to 604-591-8731, email clerkswebmail@surrey.ca, or submit in writing to the City Clerk at 14245 56 Avenue, Surrey, BC V3X 3A2, no later than Monday, July 11, 2011 at 4:00 p.m. Please note that Council may not receive further submissions from the public or interested persons concerning these applications after the Public Hearing has concluded
Seniors and people on fixed incomes are some of the hardest hit by the HST. A one time rebate of $175 if you vote in favour of their tax in exchange for paying it for the rest of your life is a deal only a snake oil salesman would offer. Why take $175 when you can vote to cancel the HST and keep all your money? How dumb do they think we are?
5. The HST benefits families – False Next to seniors, working families are hardest hit by the HST because they are among the largest consumers and have dependent children. Bribes of $175 per child when your cost is closer to $400 a year each makes you wonder if they think all of us failed math as badly as they did. And what about a single mom with two kids going to college? She gets nothing while the Premier and Finance Minister who earn big six figure salaries get the rebate. Nice.
6. Business will pay more so you pay less - False A temporary increase of 2% in corporate taxes will be passed on to consumers with increased prices. Either way you pay the final bill whether it’s in HST or higher prices.
7. We’ll owe $1.6 Billion if we cancel the HST - False The “Independent Panel” says the HST generated $850 million more than budgeted. Setting aside that is the biggest tax grab in BC history, it means government already has $850 million to repay Ottawa. BC has only received $1B, and Ottawa collected $300M more in corporate taxes under HST than under PST. So it’s a wash. And keeping the HST would cost British Columbians alot more than killing it – over $28 Billion in new taxes in just 10 years.
Vote YES to extinguish the HST and save your province, your democracy, and your money!

Region explores park revenue ideas Jeff Nagel Black Press
Dog-wash stations and event tent rentals are just some of the money-making ideas Metro Vancouver intends to explore as it opens up its regional parks to more commerce. Regional district officials have considered more than 100 possible ventures to turn a profit in area parks while adding new services. “We have to start thinking outside the box in terms of revenue,” parks committee chair Gayle Martin said. “We can’t always go to taxpayers for the things we want. This would help us enhance other parts of the parks with the revenue.” Work is already underway to launch a tent rental service that will charge market rates for the rental of event tents in Metro parks. “It could cost us initially $100,000 to invest in a tent inventory but in the first year we’re looking at a $60,000 payback,” Martin said. “So it’s paid back in a year and some months.” Until now rental firms charged clients up to $10,000 to rent a large tent but Metro

Dog obedience training is to be tested this summer as a pilot project in Pacific Spirit Regional Park and is to be offered in six regional parks next year, turning an expected annual profit of $28,000. Over the longer term, the region could develop specialized dog services – such as business-run washing stations – that Martin said have proven popular in dog friendly parks in parts of the U.S. One San Francisco-area park is home to Mudpuppy’s Tub and Scrub, which offers highly pampered full service or do-it-your-

self dog baths as well as toys and treats, with a specialty coffee cafe next door. Dog waste could also be collected and turned into fertilizer for sale, a staff report said. Negotiations are also underway with an operator to install vending machines at up to six parks that don’t already have food services. Metro also plans to start charging $3.99 per download for the next version of its currently free iParks Explorer park info app, which staff estimate could earn the region more than $80,000 over the next year based on a projected 30,000 downloads. Metro’s parks now generate enough revenue to offset nine per cent of their operating costs and the regional district wants to boost that to 15 per cent over the next 10 years. Metro previously studied the potential for several large scale projects, including restaurants, a sky tram, a canopy walk and a golf academy. None advanced, but Metro has a contractor-run campground at Brae Island and has smaller scale services such as food concessions and bike rentals at some parks.
of Surrey for working with the OPBA to have our new vibrate banners installed in time for OP Days. And, let’s not forget all the businesses that supplied sidewalk sales, treats, giveaway items and more. And a special thank you to all the community volunteers that helped make this day a fun family event. The OPBA would like to commend a group of 12 and 13 year olds who found $600 in cash at a local restaurant at OP Days. Josh Barrett, Noah Tregobou, and friends Alex, Nicole and Melanie were doing what youth like to do, eating pizza when they spotted the cash on the floor. Without hesitation the five local youth quickly turned the cash into the RCMP who had a tent at the festivities. The cash was returned to the rightful owner who very much appreciated the honesty of these individuals. Well done! September 8th 12:00 is the next OPBA meeting at Ocean Park Hall 1577 - 128th Street, South Surrey. Hope you are inspired to come and network with other local businesses to learn more about this dynamic neighbourhood.

Opportunity for an outstanding
Recommendation includes puffer zone compromise
Graphic Designer
Metro may ban park smoking
The Langley Times is looking for an outstanding Graphic Designer, to work on-call.
Jeff Nagel Black Press
Smoking may soon be outlawed in most parts of regional parks and beaches run by Metro Vancouver. The Metro parks committee last week recommended smokers be limited to puffing only in specific smoking zones, to be determined by staff. The restrictions go to a vote of the Metro board July 24. Smoking zones would be close to popular areas where many people congregate, provided they minimize second-hand smoke exposure, litter and the risk of fire. Metro directors rejected a staff recommendation to use a more complex set of rules that would vary depending on the season – based on fire risk –

Metro votes this month on a proposed smoking ban in parks. and outlaw smoking on some high-use trails but not others. “We don’t want to hire a whole bunch of smoke police,” Pitt Meadows Mayor Don MacLean said. “We feel the majority of people who smoke
are law-abiding and would abide by the rules.” Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin, who chairs the parks committee, said she would have preferred rules that simply prohibited smoking in
zones around high-use areas but allow it everywhere else in the parks. Vancouver council wanted a full ban on smoking throughout Metro parks, but its motion was voted down at a previous committee meeting. The planned smoking policy would affect regional parks like Tynehead, Campbell Valley, Pacific Spirit, Lynn Headwaters and Belcarra regional parks as well as greenways such as Pitt River and Seymour River. Beaches governed by Metro Parks include Centennial Beach at Boundary Bay Regional Park, Wreck Beach in Vancouver and Sasamat Lake in Belcarra. Several cities across the region either partly or fully ban smoking in their municipal parks.

Discourteous driving on rise: poll Jeff Nagel Black Press

A poll suggests rude driving habits are on the rise. flash lights or steal your parking spot. Two per cent reported another driver got
out of their vehicle to confront them. Nobody admitted to doing that but 30 per cent
they believe their wave in turn encourages others to be more courteous. Two-thirds of respondents said it’s important to them that other drivers acknowledge their courtesy, but the rest said it’s not that important. The online survey polled 899 adult B.C. drivers.

It’s getting uglier on the roads, according to an opinion survey of B.C. motorists conducted for ICBC. Fifty-five per cent of Lower Mainland residents believe drivers in their community have become less courteous over the past five years, the Ipsos Reid survey found. Forty per cent said it’s about the same while just three per cent thought drivers are more courteous. ICBC psychologist John Vavrik said rude, discourteous driving can trigger road rage incidents. “Aggressive or careless driving such as cutting off other drivers, speeding, tailgating, talking on cellphones and not using proper signals is almost always what incites road rage,” Vavrik said. “While road delays play a part in adding to driving stress, it’s the behaviour of other drivers that leads to the greatest frustration.” He said the heated emotions that result can impair a driver’s ability to concentrate, react and make smart driving decisions, putting them at increased risk of crashing. On balance, those surveyed gave their fellow drivers a C letter grade for courteous driving, while residents in the rest of B.C. gave their local drivers a C+. Most drivers denied they’re the problem. A large majority gave themselves either an A or B grade for driving courtesy. “There’s a clear disconnect between how drivers perceive their own driving behaviours and the reality of their driving,” Vavrik said. The single biggest peeve? Drivers who signal late or not at all – an infraction experienced by 82 per cent of those surveyed in the last three months. Seventy-one per cent reported being tailgated, 68 per cent said other drivers refused to let them merge or change lanes and half said they’d been cut off. Less common grievances were drivers who honk horns, yell, make obscene gestures, wave arms or fists,
admitted to honking in anger over the past three months and between 10 and 20 per cent said they’ve yelled, blocked a merging car, tailgated or failed to correctly signal in recent months. Ninety-four per cent say they acknowledge with a wave when another driver is courteous. Most of those surveyed said

Summer Music at the Spirit Stage, a concert series masterminded by Phil Q. Davey of Q Sound, in collaboration with the Semiahmoo First Nation, will have its soft opening with an open mic and barbecue at the stage, Saturday, July 9, 3 p.m. 8:30 p.m. in Semiahmoo Park (on Marine Drive). Other scheduled shows in the series include Louisiana-style dance band Mojo Zydeco with Sunpie Barnes and Leroy Etienne, plus Jason Mitchell, Token Rhyme and Canada Day by the day headliner Ben Rogers (July 16). On July 23 the series will present a showcase of young and emerging artists, including local favourites Their There and the Oh Wells. Tickets for series events are available from the Surrey Arts Centre box office, 604-501-5566. For more information, call 604-538-2951.
Vancouver-based community theatre company Fighting Chance Productions, responsible for recent critically acclaimed versions of Sweeney Todd, Forbidden Broadway, Rent and The Musical of Musicals: The Musical, is partnering with the White Rock Players Club to present Nunsense, opening Wednesday (July 6, 8 p.m.) at Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. An irreverent offBroadway hit, with book, music and lyrics by Dan Goggin, Nunsense shows what happens when five of the remaining 19 Little Sisters of Hoboken decide to put on a variety show to raise money for the burial of four lately deceased members of their order. Featured in the daffy goings-on are a tightropewalking Mother Superior, the stardom-seeking Sister Robert Anne, the ballet obsessed Sister Mary Leo, the straight-shooting Sister Mary Hubert and the forgetful Sister Mary Amnesia (whose conscience is expressed through her puppet companion, Sister Mary Annette). The cast features five of the Lower Mainland’s top musical theatre performers: White Rock resident Nicole Stevens; CTC and Ovation award winner Cathy Wilmot; Janet Glassford, well known from Arts Club and Metro Theatre productions; Keri Smith, who was a cast member of Fighting Chance’s internationally recognized The Laramie Project, and Celia Reid, fresh from her portrayal of Peggy Sawyer in Metro Theatre’s 42nd Street. Director is Ryan Mooney, with musical direction by Vashti Fairbairn, both CTC and Ovation winners. The show will continue to July 23, with performances Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets can be reserved by calling 604-5367535 or visiting www. whiterockplayers.ca

Zydeco summer jam Mojo Zydeco will present a sizzling summer dance with two very special guests from Louisiana, July 16, 9 p.m. at Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240, 2643 128 St. Accordion master, harmonica wizard and vocalist Bruce ‘Sunpie’ Barnes – who impressed local fans in a previous appearance with Mojo Zydeco several years ago – is back, joined by long-time friend Leroy Etienne on drums. Etienne, a veteran drummer, has played with many of the greats of Zydeco, and is credited with defining the rudiments of the style. Joining them onstage will be Mojo members (and earnest disciples) Randy Schultz (guitar and vocals), Jane Carnahan (rubboard), Dave Clairmont (bass) and Tom ‘Solid’ Gould (sax). The result, according to Mojo leader Schultz, will be “the authentic sounds of Zydeco and rocking Blues, served up Southern-style.” Tickets ($15 advance) are available at the legion; for more information, call 604721-0872.
Swing dancing Jump Joint Swing is open every Sunday from 7 to 11 p.m. at 110-12332 Pattullo Place (in the back of the Pro Draft warehouse, next to Xcalibur Bowling, in North Surrey). All ages are welcome, and the cost is $5. Net proceeds benefit the Metro Kids Society.

Business tax rates defended Tom Fletcher Black Press
Local governments in B.C. have shown “a sliver” of improvement in their tax policies, but still place too heavy a burden on business, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business says in its annual survey. “In 2010, small businesses paid 2.79 times more in property taxes than residents on the same value of property,” the CFIB says in its latest report. “The business share of property taxes has been increasing over the last two decades, but dropped slightly over the past year.” Out of 160 B.C. municipalities surveyed, 24 kept business taxes down to twice the residential rate or less. That’s the CFIB’s target rate for taxes. The federation’s “worst offenders” list for 2010 is topped by North Saanich, one of the 13 municipalities in the Victoria region. It charges more than six times the tax on business property as the equivalent residential value (6.05). The rest of the list is Revelstoke (5.86), Kitimat (4.69), Coquitlam (4.69), Vancouver (4.55), Tumbler Ridge (4.33), Metchosin (4.12), Castlegar (4.04), Ashcroft (4.01), Lantzville (4.00), North Vancouver City (3.94), Burnaby (3.88), Logan Lake (3.87), Comox (3.82), View Royal (3.77), Whistler (3.75), Terrace (3.73), New Westminster (3.73), and Colwood (3.67). The UBCM issued a sharply worded response to the CFIB survey in its June newsletter. Surrey Coun. Barb Steele, the current UBCM president, said administrative overhead has generally gone down, while municipal spending has increased mainly for protective services, parks and recreation. “The CFIB has a simple answer for the complexities of local government finance: cut spending,” Steele said. “It’s a hollow exercise to lecture about spending before considering the people who rely on the services municipalities provide.”

Metro vote reform mulled Jeff Nagel Black Press
The Metro Vancouver board is a taxpayer-funded playground for civic politicians to spend wildly, rake in extra pay and travel the globe. So says Coquitlam Coun. Lou Sekora, who argues it’s time the mayors and councillors who serve as directors on the Metro board were more directly elected by local voters. Metro directors are currently selected by each city council. Their seat on the regional stage brings a higher profile, influence on key issues, travel to international conferences and an extra pay cheque typically worth around $15,000 a year. But Coquitlam council will debate next month whether to leave the choice up to local voters, who would fill out a second ballot during civic elections on their Metro preferences.
ARE YOU NEW IN TOWN
Lou Sekora Coquitlam
Marvin Hunt Surrey
The two elected council members who get the most votes on the Metro ballot would go to the regional board, Sekora said, with no chance for the mayor or majority on council to control the selection. “It’s wrong,” Sekora said of the current method of appointments. “They’re not accountable to the taxpayers whatsoever.” Metro board members oversee the regional district’s $600-million budget, 84 per cent of which goes for water, sewage and gar-
bage services for the region. Metro-levied taxes and utility fees total about $513 a year for the average household. But other directors argue it would be a mistake for Coquitlam or other cities to make their Metro seats directly elected. “The issue is who you are representing,” said Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt, a past regional board chair. “If Metro is a federation of municipalities working to do things together that they can’t do on their own – sewer, garbage, water and those sorts of things – then I think it’s important that the people who are here represent their council and the wishes of their council.” Making directors elected makes it possible for voters to send a councillor who tops the polls but might not have council’s majority support. That could be a source of dysfunction between the region and local cities, Hunt said.

South Surrey course shares hosting duties with other West Coast Golf Group locations
hough warm summer weather seems to be taking its time arriving on the Peninsula, this year’s golf season is in full swing at Hazelmere Golf Course. Once again, staff at Hazelmere are busy getting ready to share hosting duties of the West Coast Golf Group Invitational Pro-Am, which takes place July 28-30. The tournament consists of exciting rounds of golf played at all three pristine WCGG courses – Hazelmere, Belmont and Swan-e-set – and is a great showcase for both rising stars as well as some of the country’s finest golfers, including Bryn Parry and WCGG’s very own Philip Jonas. The Pro-Am kicks off Thursday, July 28, with a 1 p.m. shotgun start at Langley’s Belmont Golf Course, followed by round two at Hazelmere on Friday, July 29 at 1p.m. The first two rounds will feature teams of four – one professional with three amateurs – and winners will be determined by the best two net scores out of four over the 36 holes played. On Friday evening, Hazelmere will host a special gourmet dinner event where amateur

Perry Bruce continued, “Canadian coins prior to 1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are all made with silver, and we have noticed a large increase of customers coming to the Roadshow with coins and cashing them in for their silver value”.

Sara Groenewegen will take lessons learned from Team Canada to tournament’s Showcase division
Bat girl-turned-pitcher to star at Open Nick Greenizan
V
Sports Reporter
ery little will likely surprise Sara Groenewegen this weekend, when she hits the field at the Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship. Not the crowds, not the level of talent in the dugout along the opposite foul line and certainly not the pressure. After all, Groenewegen, who pitches and plays shortstop for the White Rock Renegades ’95, has seen it all before. Two years ago, when she was in Grade 8, she served as a bat girl for Team Canada at the Canada Cup, the precursor to the Canadian Open. From her spot in the dugout, she was able to learn from the country’s best. “It was very inspirational to be a part of that, and be around the team, because I’d like to play for Team Canada when I’m older,” said Groenewegen, who spent her Canada Day weekend trying out for the country’s junior national fastpitch squad. “I just tried to watch it all, and soak it all in.” Groenewegen said she was well-recieved by the Canadian squad, many of whom knew her older sister, Marina, who that year had tried out for the national team, making it into the top 24. “They gave me a Team Canada jersey with my number 17 on it, and everyone signed it,” she said. Had she wanted to, Groenewegen likely could’ve taught some of the older Team Canada players a thing or two – if not about how to play the ❝Both her and her sister game itself, at least a little have handled about mental strength and perseverance. That’s (having because Groenewegen, diabetes) very like her older sister, has well, and are managed to play softball at a high level despite very good living with diabetes. players.❞ And while dealing Chuck Westgard Renegades coach with the condition has become second nature for Groenewegen – she’s dealt with it since she began playing with White Rock in Grade 5 – she admits it’s still a struggle on occasion. “It’s certainly a lot harder to play a sport with diabetes. You have to be responsible and know to test yourself and keep track of how you’re feeling,” she said. “While I’m playing – especially when I’m pitching – I need to be at the perfect level or I won’t perform well.” If her blood-sugar levels get too high, she gets a headache and feels dizzy; too low, and she feels tired and groggy. “It’s manageable, but it’s tough for a young person, for sure,” said Renegades ’95 coach Chuck Westgard, who also coached Marina on the four-time national champion Renegades ’91 team. “It’s just one more thing for you to focus on and think about, but both her and her sister have handled it very well, and are very good players.” Groenewegen and her Renegade ’95 mates played in last year’s inaugural Canadian Open, in the Showcase division, and will be

The team has lost only a few games so far this season, and is also coming off a tournament title in Seattle, which they won on the Memorial Day long weekend. “I think we have a really good chance of winning this year,” Groenewegen said. “But it’s great just to play. We’re all really
proud of this tournament, and it’s cool to be able to play so many international teams in such a world (renowned) tournament.” The Canadian Open begins July 9 at Softball City, Sunnyside Park and Cloverdale Athletic Park. Groenewegen’s Renegades ’95 squad opens the Showcase Gold tournament at Softball City on July 11, 10:30 a.m. against the
Arizona Cats. They also have round-robin games against the Washington Diamond Dusters, Delta Heat ’95, Ridge Meadows Pride ’96, Fraser Valley Fusion ’95 and Richmond Islanders ’96. For more information, including a full schedule and results as they happen, visit www.canadianopenfastpitch.com

THE TOUR DE WHITE ROCK PRESENTS:
FROM AN EXPERT RIDING THE AMATEUR HILL CLIMB (3) Part 3 of the article on training for the Just Giver Amateur Hill Climb So you’re tuned up and ready to go (both bike and you) and it’s close to race day. You should have ridden the route at least once --this will enable you to fine tune your race strategy, know what gearing feels best, and provide an idea as to how much effort it will take. Hill climbs are as much psychological as they are physiological. In advance of the race, you should be preparing your body both mentally and physically, with a plan of resting the week prior to the race. (Resting is when your body becomes stronger). So no long, hard rides or hill climbs prior to race day. What you do immediately prior to, and after the race, is important. Getting warmed up is essential, so go for a brisk ride and warm up on a couple of the hills in town. After the climb, don’t just jump off your bike at the finish, but go for an easy ‘spin’ to let your muscles relax. Gearing is extremely important--start with the chain in the smallest ring on the front and stick with it --only shift your rear gears as the

hill becomes steeper. As you meet more resistance from the pedals, shift the rear gears down into an easier gear (one at a time) until there are no more gears left, at which point you’ll have to stand up on the pedals to keep your forward momentum. Standing versus sittingwhich is best? Well, it all depends. Standing results in more power into the pedals but takes more energy, so my recommendation is to sit for as long as possible and stand up when you no longer can pedal when seated. Your objective should be to maximise your effort without going into the ‘red zone’(also called the lactate threshold), which is when your body cannot exert any more power without drastically reducing its performance. You have to fight the natural instinct of your body wanting you to stop, or as a famous road racer once said “shut up legs, shut up body”. Going too fast at the start will hinder you; going too slow will make the ride less painful but you won’t maximise your capabilities. The Hill Climb is slightly less than 700 metres from start to finish. Start line is the parking lot entrance behind White Rock Muffler on Buena Vista, with the finish line between Foster and Johnston road (5 Corners). The climb starts with a slight incline for the first 50 meters; then levels off for another 50 metres followed by a much steeper section (approx 500 metres). Remember to push hard once you’re finished the steepest section as you have 50 metres to the finish. (For more details check the following site for GPS info: connect. garmin.com/activity/95763695). And that’s it. You’ve finished the Hill Climb and met (or exceeded) your expectations. Now it’s time to congratulate yourself, pick up your winners prize and get back on to the Hill so you can watch how the Pro’s do it. Tour de White Rock presented by

Flames call for Cloverdale pair Rick Kupchuk Black Press
They were teammates in minor hockey, and again in the B.C. Major Midget League. They went their separate ways to play in the Western Hockey League, but Tyler Wotherspoon and Laurent Brossoit may soon be teammates again in professional hockey. The two products of Cloverdale Minor Hockey were claimed by the Calgary Flames at last w e e k e n d’s National Hockey League (NHL) entry draft in Minneapolis. Wotherspoon, a six-foot-one, 196pound defenceman with the Portland Winterhawks, was taken in the second round, 57th overall. Brossoit, a goaltender, was selected in the sixth round, 164th overall. “I was confused, I didn’t know where I was going,” said Wotherspoon after his name was called. “But Calgary is a great city, I’ve been there a lot and I’m excited.” Wotherspoon scored twice and added 10 assists in the regular season, his second with the Winterhawks, and added three goals and an assist in 20 playoff games. Portland advanced to the Western Hockey League (WHL) final before losing in five games to the Kootenay Ice.

Laurent Brossoit (above) and Tyler Wotherspoon (left) were drafted by Calgary. Describing himself as “a defensive twoway guy,” Wotherspoon, 18, expects to be back in Portland for a third year before making the jump to professional hockey. “I’m going to work as hard as I can, I don’t have a set schedule,” he said of his offseason plan. “I have a great team to go back to in Portland, and will learn as much as I can. Then I will come to camp as a 19-year-old, fit and ready to go.” Brossoit, a teammate of Wotherspoon’s at both the Bantam A level with the Cloverdale Colts and the B.C. Major Midget League with the Valley West Hawks, was the highest-ranked goaltender in the WHL prior to the draft, and was the first net-
minder from the league claimed by an NHL team. The six-foot-three, 202-lb. goaltender played one season in the B.C. Hockey League with the Cowichan Valley Capitals before his rookie season in the WHL last year with the Edmonton Oil Kings. He had a 13-12-2 (won-loss-overtime loss) record with a 3.32 goals-against average and an .887 save percentage. “I didn’t have the year I had hoped for in Edmonton, but it got me here,” said Brossoit before the draft. “I showed the scouts what I could do and I have potential.” Brossoit will likely be back in Edmonton for the 2011-12 season, battling for the staring job with the Oil Kings.

Tritons set sights on playoff spot Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Just a few weeks into summer, and the White Rock Tritons’ offence is heating up as the mercury rises. The Premier Baseball League team went 3-1 last week, including going 1-1 Thursday in Victoria against the Mariners. The two teams played another two games Monday afternoon; all four contests were make-up games from earlier in the season. Monday’s tilts were played after press deadline. “We’re definitely playing better than we were at the beginning of the season,” said Tritons coach Russ Smithson. “We’re 4-3 over the last seven, and we’ve done that against teams like Victoria and Nanaimo, who are top-three teams in the league.” While the pitchers have been steady – “They’ve been OK lately, still keeping us in games,” Smithson said – the offence has been keyed by three players in particular, Jackson Temple, Brandon Novak and Josh Sigurdson. In Thursday’s 9-4 win over the Mariners at South Surrey Athletic Park, Temple was 1-for-3 with a triple and two RBI, and in White Rock’s 4-3 loss to the Mariners in the other half of the doubleheader, he was even better, with three runs batted in. Novak and Sigurdson, meanwhile, have each boosted their batting averages high enough to find themselves in the PBL’s top 10; Novak is batting .325, while Sigurdson sits at .324 and also leads the circuit in stolen bases, with 26. “Hitting is contagious – you see one guy doing it, and you want to keep up and do the same thing,” said Smithson. “It’s been great – our team batting average is up

more than 20 points the last few weeks.” With just a few weeks left in the season, the Tritons have picked a good time to heat up. They’re currently ninth in the 13-team PBL, and the top eight teams make the playoffs.
“We’re basically only one game out, so a couple wins here this week and it sets up nicely for us,” Smithson said. “The boys are feeling confident right now. We have eight games left, and they know we probably have to win at least five of them to make it.”
The Ocean Park Community Association and Kiwanis club of South Surrey would like to thank all our sponsors, volunteers and guests for making the 12th Annual Taste of Ocean Park a great success. SPONSORED BY

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, July 9th, 2:00 pm at Chown Memorial and Chinese United Church, 3519 Cambie Street, Vancouver. In lieu of flowers please donate to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. GRAYSTON, Kenneth Richard 1925 - 2011 passed away peacefully in his 86th year at Weatherby Pavilion, P.A.H., White Rock on Thursday, June 23rd, surrounded by family. He will be sadly missed by his wife Betty (Sibson) of 58 years and sons Jeff, Paul (Janie), David (Donna), grandchildren Trevor, Taylor, Emily and Spencer. Ken was the last of a large family (Kay, Ted, Eric, Mary), all born in Vancouver to Richard and Ethel (Hayward), plus many nieces and nephews. Many thanks to all the caregivers and Dr. Perold who all helped us along this journey. Ken served overseas in WWII, then lead long careers in Ship Chandlery with brother Ted, duty free liquor sales (Sumas and Blaine, WA) and finally a home based parcel and shipping business (Blaine, WA). Many retirement summers spent in Birch Bay, WA and winters in Yuma, AZ are fondly remembered. A celebration of life for Ken is to take place later this summer. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Stroke Fund of White Rock or charity of your choice.
Bob has departed the circle of his beloved family. “Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” (Psalm 139:16) Bob served in education as teacher and principal of schools in rural Manitoba and then in the Department of Education in Winnipegbcclassified.com as the Director of Field Services and finally as the mathematics consultant before retiring and moving to White Rock. Bob’s and Myrle’s lives are blessed and graced with sons Robert Bruce and Bradley Cochrane. They all cherish grand-daughter Elise Anne. Bob treasured his special friendship with Kelly and Trish. We are all deeply grateful to the angels of mercy on the fourth floor of the Peace Arch Hospital. Gratitude and respect to Dr. Garry, Dr. Vanukuru, Dr. Thornton, Pamela Morninglight RN, and our heartfelt appreciation to the professional nurses on the 4th floor of the hospital. Thank you to Jane, Norma, Jackie, and the many others who provided such caring and compassionate care.
