Leaked documents reveal heated jurisdictional dispute in White Rock

RCMP bans city staffer from premises Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The City of White Rock is in a dispute with White Rock RCMP over the removal of the detachment’s administration manager. According to confidential documents, the city received word from Staff Sgt. Lesli Roseberry April 7 advising that in the view of the RCMP, the employee – identified alternately as Jordan Murray and Jordan Murray-Wahl – “has been deemed unsuitable to continue work at the detachment.”

“My loss of confidence in Ms. Murray is at a critical level,” Roseberry writes, alleging breaches of procedure, policy and security. RCMP will not allow Murray – the city’s manager responsible for support staff – to enter the premises, the documents state. City officials have refused comment on the issue, beyond confirming that Murray remains a city employee. “I can’t share anything specific with you. Any employee matter is confidential,” Jacquie Johnstone, the city’s director of human

resources, told Peace Arch News last week. “She is still an employee with the city.” Attempts by the Peace Arch News to reach Murray for comment were unsuccessful. Her lawyer, Tom Beasley, said Tuesday that he could not comment on the issue. Union chair Mike Guraliuk said that while he has asked questions on the matter, city officials “don’t really share information with us” on non-union employees. Guraliuk (CUPE Local 402-01) said he, too, has been told she still works for the city.

According to the leaked documents, the city began taking steps in January; Roseberry notes the RCMP investigation began the month before, and identified alleged breaches dating back to at least April 2010. The matter has created tension between city and police officials regarding who has authority over municipal employees working in the detachment. A February letter, signed by three former detachment victims-services staffers, notes � see page 4

Mayor surprised staff took referendum posters

Surrey returns voters’ signs Nick Greenizan & Alex Browne Staff Reporters

Just one day after the City of Surrey removed “about 400 signs in about 25 minutes,” city staff promised last week the anti-HST signs would be returned. The issue came to light Friday when Fight HST campaigner Aart Looye blasted the city for removing the group’s signs posted for the provincial referendum, which begins its mail-out this week. “We bought them with the $250,000 we were given by the (provincial) government under Aart Looye the Election Act,” Looye told Peace Arch News. “And as soon as they were up, somebody from the city, well, they stole them, as far as I’m concerned.” � see page 2

HST hike ‘not while I’m finance minister’: Falcon Alex Browne Staff Reporter

B.C. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon has answered critics who have claimed the Liberals could turn around on their promise to keep the HST at 10 per cent, once that level is achieved in 2014. “Not while I’m finance minister,” he told Peace Arch News last week, when asked if there was a scenario in which the HST could rise after that point. “When I make a commitment to do something, I do it.”

Falcon added he doubted the HST would rise above the promised 10 per cent, even if he no longer held the portfolio. “Not with our government,” the MLA for Surrey-Cloverdale said. “It’s important to recognize our government has a consistent record in reducing taxes… and we’re committed to reducing the HST.” Falcon – also deputy premier – spoke just days ahead of a Fight HST town-hall meeting in White Rock, at which Bill Vander Zalm and Chris Delaney – archi-

tects of the public initiative that forced the HST referendum – vowed to keep up the fight against the unpopular tax. At Sunday’s meeting, Vander Zalm told some 75 people at at Kent Street Activity Centre that numbers-oriented pro-HST arguments don’t answer fundamental questions posed by the way the tax was introduced without consulting the public. “This is about more than a tax,” he said. “This is as much about democracy.” � see page 4

Fight HST campaigner Sybil Rowe talks to Aart Looye about her her attempts to post signs.

‘Grey area’ led to city seizure � from page 1 According to Looye, the group was told Friday morning by the mayor’s office that the signs – which bear the message, “Vote Yes to Extinguish the HST” – violate Surrey’s sign bylaw, which was interpreted to permit election signs but not referendum signs. “They’re really splitting hairs here – this whole (referendum) is being done under the Election Act,” Looye said, adding that each sign is worth between $5-$6. “Add it up, and that’s thousands of dollars that the City of Surrey has stolen from us, and they better give them back.” Contacted Friday afternoon, Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts was surprised to hear any of the signs had been taken down. “I have not been advised that the city is taking them down and there has been no direction to take them down,” Watts said. The mayor said it is her understanding that both sides of the HST referendum are entitled to express themselves through signage. “It falls under the purview of the Election Act, I do believe,” she said. Tara Foslien – the mayor’s office communications representative – contacted Peace Arch News later that day to confirm the signs would be returned. Foslien said the signs had been taken by city staff because “there was a grey area about whether they fit into our sign bylaw.” As of this week, Looye said, the city returned 129 signs. The rest are unaccounted for. “The city said those are the only ones they

took down, so I don’t know what happened to the other ones – whether it was the city or somebody else,” he said, adding that more signs were taken down in South Surrey on Saturday night or early Sunday morning. “Somebody out there obviously doesn’t agree with us,” he said. “But there’s not much else we can do – we aren’t going to antagonize (the city) anymore.” Looye said one South Surrey Fight HST member, 75-year-old Sybil Rowe, was putting signs along 32 Avenue last week when she was approached by a “very large, intimidating” bylaw officer and told to cease her actions. However, Looye said that by the weekend, she had replanted her signs. Watts said the city would act “only if we receive a complaint that there is a sightline issue, or the signs are blocking something. “No signs are coming down unless they pose a sightline problem on a road or something,” Watts said. “Going forward, as long as both sides follow the rules laid out, they should be able to have signs.” Looye noted White Rock still refuses to let Fight HST erect signs on city property. “We can’t even find a place in White Rock to put them up. We’re upset that it’s come to this – you’d hope that cooler heads would prevail,” he said. “What I’d like to do is put one right on White Rock City Hall’s front lawn and say, ‘hey, whaddya think of that?’” Mayor Catherine Ferguson said the referendum signs are treated the same as election signs, and allowed only on private property.

Home-invasion targets dispute police report

How are we not co-operative? – victims Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Victims of a home invasion in South Surrey last week say police weren’t being truthful when they told media those targeted were involved in the drug trade and aren’t co-operating with the investigation. “I don’t understand what the heck is going on with the cops telling you guys we’re not co-operating,” said Aaron Semple, 28. “We talked to the police. Everybody in the house gave a full statement to the police. “How are we not co-operative?” Semple said he was the only man among two adults and three teenagers in the house June 7 when four armed males broke in at 1:15 p.m. brandishing shotguns and a

machete. The intruders forced him to the floor and put a shotgun to his head, then dragged him into another room and kicked him in the face, Semple said. The attackers caused extensive damage inside the home before fleeing with cash and various belongings, he said. The day after the incident – which took place at a small white house in the 15200block of 24 Avenue – police said it was a targeted attack and described the victims as “young people that are known to police to be involved in the drug trade.” “They’re not co-operating with the police and they are the primary people that we would need to solve this,” a spokesman said. Semple said Friday that all five victims

provided police with their version of events the day of the attack, including descriptions of the assailants and the licence plate of the vehicle they fled in. While Semple said residents in the house smoke marijuana – including for medicinal reasons – it is not “a drug house,” he said. “Nobody in this house has ever been arrested for drugs,” he said. “That doesn’t make us involved in the drug trade, just because we smoke it.” One resident, identifying herself as Semple’s girlfriend, Michelle, she said she has lived at the house with her son and daughter for four years, and was livid to read what was said. “The police told you bull----,” the 31-yearold told Peace Arch News Friday. “(The land-

lord) called me telling me they read what was in the news and that they think it would be best for me to move, and that they would work with me to help me move. “Thanks to you guys, you have just had my children and myself kicked out of my house.” Michelle said the house was targeted because it was an easy target. “They came in planning to rob a woman and young children.” Semple and Michelle said officers did not follow up with them in the days since the attack, including not returning messages they’ve left regarding additional information they feel could help the investigation. Police said Tuesday the incident is still under investigation, and that they stand by their earlier comments.

Peace Arch Park was the backdrop for the 88th annual Hands Across the Border last weekend, attracting thousands from Canada and the U.S.

Thousands descended on Peace Arch Park Sunday for the 88th annual Hands Across the Border celebration. The event saw Girl Guides, Scouts, cadets and other youth from Canada and the U.S. gather for a day of festivities that included a parade through the Peace Arch. Sue Head, president of the International Peace Arch Association, said more than 8,000 youth, ages six to 19, participated, many trading pins and badges with their peers. Border traffic was diverted, as participants travelled from as far as Port McNeill on the Canadian side, and from Modesto, Calif. on the U.S. side, Head noted. In the veterans wreath-laying ceremony, two young veterans were honoured. Thirty-year-old Bellingham resident Clayton Swansen, who served in Iraq with the US Navy, and 21-year-old Surrey resident Clayton Doyle, who served in Afghanistan with the Canadian Army, were escorted by Second World War veterans and each laid a wreath during the ceremony.

Surrey outpatient hospital brings no net gain in ORs

Surgery shuffle a ‘charade,’ say anesthesiologists Jeff Nagel Black Press

Anesthesiologists are accusing Fraser Health of playing “musical operating rooms” by opening brand new ORs at the new $237-million Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre while simultaneously closing other ORs at nearby Surrey Memorial Hospital. An ongoing shortage of anesthesiologists has kept the region’s hospitals from opening more ORs, and they continue to wrestle with lengthy backlogs for elective surgeries. Only two of the six new ORs in the just-opened outpatient hospital are being used initially and they are, in effect, transferred from SMH, which drops from 10 staffed ORs (out of 13 available) to eight. That triples the number of empty ORs sitting unused in Surrey from

three to nine, according to Dr. Roland Orfaly, spokesperson for B.C.’s Coalition of Anesthesiologists for Change. “The opening of ORs at the Jim Pattison Centre is just a charade to protect the reputation of the politicians,” Orfaly said, calling the empty ORs expensive storage rooms. “In terms of dealing with the backlog of patients waiting for surgery, all those capital dollars will have no effect until B.C. improves its ability to recruit and retain more anesthesiologists.” He said the failure to recruit more staff means there’s no net improvement in surgery at the two facilities, and possibly a reduction because the Jim Pattison ORs are now available only for day surgery, rather than the more urgent cases those staff sometimes treated at SMH. “There’s now less access for major

surgery than there was before,” said Orfaly, who lives in Surrey and works at Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster. Fraser Health officials say the plan all along has been to initially transfer surgical staff, anesthesiologists and patients to the outpatient hospital from SMH, helping decongest the main hospital. Dr. Peter Blair, the region’s program medical director for surgery, confirmed there is no net increase in surgical capacity for now – due to the shortage of anesthesiologists. “There will be when we get all the ORs running,” he said. Recruitment efforts continue, he said, adding Fraser Health has just hired one new anesthesiologist to start in July and hopes to recruit three more. If successful, two would go to Royal Columbian Hospital while another two would

allow Fraser Health to start running four ORs at the Surrey outpatient hospital starting this fall. Blair stressed Fraser Health has all the money it needs to operate the Jim Pattison outpatient centre as planned. He said the health authority has no control over the number of anesthesiologists who opt to work in the region, noting they are paid through Medical Services Plan. The anesthesiologists agree Fraser Health’s hands are tied. They say the province needs to spend more on their pay and supports in order to recruit more anaesthesiologists, ease the shortage and open more ORs. Their counterparts in some other parts of Canada are paid twice as much, Orfaly said. “When Fraser Health tries to recruit, the response is ‘I’m not

moving to B.C. and taking a 50-per-cent pay cut,’” Orfaly said. “If government can’t address that underlying problem, this is going to continue.” They also say the government could hire anesthesia assistants to help with the workload and make ORs run more efficiently. Most of Orfaly’s outspoken coalition of anesthesiologists are also members of the broader B.C. Anesthesiology Society, but feel it has been too restrained in attacking the provincial government. Orfaly predicts more OR closures at hospitals across the region this summer, causing more cancelled surgeries and lengthening waits. “There will be hundreds of OR slates cancelled across Fraser Health this summer due to the anesthesiologist shortage, meaning thousands of surgeries,” he predicted.

Employees ‘suffering’ by inaction � from page 1 they left “due to the negative work environment that has been created under the leadership of the RCMP administrative manager.” The letter alleges “numerous” attempts to have the issue addressed were made during the 18 months previous, to no avail. “The situation has not changed and current employees are suffering as a result. Unfortunately, the city is losing well-trained, skilled employees as a result of the inaction of the city and RCMP…” The documents include an April

city report noting that Murray and another city employee in the detachment were being investigated by the detachment commander as a result of allegations made by two other employees – one of whom had her employment terminated by the city on grounds of misconduct, and the other at the time under investigation by the city for misconduct. The city contends that the RCMP has no jurisdiction to investigate city employees, according to the documents. Peace Arch News was contacted

by two individuals who indicated they are city employees and wanted the issue public. One said staff were made to sign a confidentiality agreement regarding the issue. The worker said Johnstone told staff “that Jordan wouldn’t be back to the detachment and the city is fighting it.” Exactly what is going on is being kept “secret, secret, secret,” the staffer said. “It’s like there’s a big cone of silence or protection around Jordan.” Roseberry declined to comment, directing inquiries to the city.

U.S. Ambassador says new initiatives will ‘deliver real results’

Trade improvements on way Kevin Diakiw Black Press

The U.S. is looking to streamline trade with Canada, and direction is coming right from the top. David Jacobson, the U.S. ambassador to Canada, said Friday several initiatives are taking place to smooth trade between the two countries. He pointed out some efficiencies seem obvious. For instance, goods that arrive here from overseas are inspected in Canada and the U.S. “Inspect it once and allow it to move freely,” Jacobson said. “It’s being driven by President Obama and Prime Minister Harper. Things tend to move faster when they’re being pushed by the boss.” Jacobson addressed a crowd of about 800 people at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel Friday, at the Building Bridges to Prosperity Symposium. He stressed the importance of improving the way goods are moved and enhancing security. Canada and the U.S. trade more than $1 trillion in goods annually, he said. Trade with B.C. alone, exceeded all trade with Italy last year and almost doubled that of Ireland. As important as that relationship is, he said, it’s important to have “layered security” protecting both countries. By that, he said, inspections can move back away from the border so that access to each country isn’t so jammed. He said it’s only a “tyranny of small differences”

U.S. Ambassador to Canada David Jacobson speaks to the audience during Friday’s trade symposium in Surrey. that are impeding change. “It’s going to be hard, but it’s going to deliver real results,” he said. “One of the reasons that it’s so important that the president and the prime minister are leading this effort, is that when somebody says ‘you don’t understand, this is not how we do it’, then we can say ‘what is it about the views of the president or the prime minister that you don’t understand?’” How long the changes will take are not known right now. “This is not everything happen-

ing at once, you’re going to see a process,” Jacobson said. “Some of the things are going to be a matter of months, and some of the things may take much longer.” The difference this time is that everyone is paddling in the same direction. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said in her introduction that improved access to U.S. trade is critical, and she pointed out there have been some successes, such as dealing with “Buy American” protectionist policies. “We’ve come a long way,” she said.

Fans can make a difference

W

e Vancouver Canuck fans have been called a lot of things during this Stanley Cup playoff run – arrogant, obnoxious, loud, passionate – but most of all, fickle. We – as others enjoy pointing out – are awfully quick to turn on our team when things go south. It happened in the very first round of the playoffs, when the Canucks blew a three-game lead against the hated Chicago Blackhawks. And it happened again in this final series, when they let the Boston Bruins claw their way back to tie things 2-2 and now, 3-3. Heck, it sometimes happens in the middle of October. For whatever reason, Canuck fans have shown innate ability to turn a positive into a negative. As for why this happens, it’s anybody’s guess. Maybe it’s a “little brother” syndrome that comes from living on the West Coast, always in the shadow of the Centre of the Universe. Or perhaps it’s less an inferiority complex and simply because we, as a sports city, have had little to cheer about over the years, save for a few Grey Cups and, as of only last year, a successful (albeit pricey) Olympic Games. Our most celebrated hockey moment, in fact – the Canucks’ last Cup run in 1994 – is one that ended in failure. That’s why we, when faced with adversity, always seem to fear the worst; we’re conditioned that way, like Deloreans rolling off an assembly line – destined for a few bright moments, perhaps, but, ultimately, failure. Or so it seems. But putting history aside for a moment – yes, it can be done, Vancouver – fans find themselves again in this oh-so-familiar spot, after the Canucks lost Game 6 Monday in Boston, and now are faced with a winner-take-all Game 7 tonight in Vancouver. And while stats can be trotted out by both sides in predicting what the outcome will be, it is, essentially, a glorified coin toss. A bounce here, or a bounce there could decide the outcome. Indeed, so could the fans who pack the arena. Canuck players worked hard to gain home-ice advantage for the playoffs – ensuring they’d play in Vancouver in just this type of situation, should it arise. Don’t forget, the home team has won each game of this series, and just three times in league history – in 2009, 1971 and 1945 – has the road team won Game 7 of a Stanley Cup Final. So fans would do well by their team to park the negativity, the nervous energy, and get behind their team. Be loud. Be passionate. Be positive. And, to even the most fickle of fans, remember this: it ain’t over yet.

Bitter experience concessions the Mulroney government with used cars sold privately made in an effort to placate angry voters led me to make the purchase at 20 years ago.

endless series of used cars. Whether they are crooks or not, their efforts are every bit as appealing to the neighbourhood as the guy with multiple illegal suites whose tenants plug up the parking for the whole block. In each case, they violate zoning rules and hog services for personal benefit. And if you think they pay income or other taxes on their home businesses, I have a 1973 Pinto you might want to testdrive. The subject of used cars came up last week when NDP Leader Adrian Dix belatedly launched his own anti-HST tour. Apparently he’s having second thoughts about letting Bill Vander Zalm set NDP tax policy based on a world government conspiracy theory. Dix’s first media event was staged in a Burnaby kitchen. The homeowner dismissed the $350 HST rebate he has been offered to offset costs such as summer camp for his two kids, saying that will be gone several times over if he buys a used car. This clearly implies that HST has been extended to used cars. This is the sort of claim that drives much of the rage against it, as people simply scan their bills for those hated three letters. There are signs that people understand their taxes better, however. An Angus Reid poll last week found that 58 per cent of British Columbians now prefer to pay taxes on their consumption rather than their income.

Differing ideologies Editor: Re: Intolerance not akin to bullying, June 1 letters; Homosexuality is not a ‘choice,’ June 8 letters. I want to thank those who responded to letter-writer Mike Schouten’s for illustrating the difference between humanist and Christian responses to bullying. People naturally prefer those who are like themselves and hate those who are not. This hatred is expressed as rudeness, bullying or worse, depending on the depth of our hatred. The humanist embraces our natural inclination, as we see in those who criticized Peace Arch News editor Lance Peverley for printing Schouten’s letter (Fair comment in an often unfair world, June 3 column). Because Schouten refuses to conform to their pattern for society, these critics would have him shunned and denied voice and standing. Theirs is the mentality of the playground princess who commands her clique to give the cold shoulder to the girl who doesn’t dress the way she has dictated. This is evident also in the responses to Schouten’s letter. The correspondents assume that when the Christian does not wholeheartedly embrace something, we must hate it, because they themselves hate that which they do not embrace. The humanist does not want certain groups to be hated so they say that, while it is not wrong to hate those who are different, there is no need to hate these favoured groups because they are not really different. This is the mode used, for example, by homosexual activists; all their efforts are focused on convincing us they are no different than anyone else. This is the indoctrination of which Schouten spoke. The Christian response to bullying is substantively different, it is a Christian response. To find our commonality we do not look at ourselves, but to God and our estrangement from Him. This focus means we do not need to give ascent to their lifestyle in order to genuinely love them as a neighbour. Adam van den Hoven, Surrey ■ First and foremost, homosexuality is not a choice of lifestyle. What is natural for one may not be natural for another. Homosexuals are hardly bullies but merely trying to live their lives the way they were born. May it be suggested that letterwriter Mike Schouten, and his ilk, educate themselves on this matter. Religious bigots, of all persuasions, have to be stopped; perpetuating throughout the ages intolerance towards race, creed, colour and sexuality. And may it be further proposed – live, let live and pray that God will forgive you for being a pseudo-Christian. Kathy O’Keefe-Morrice, Surrey ■ God created man and woman and they fit each other very naturally.

But the Bible tells us some people wanted to change and abandon natural and become unnatural. Read Romans 1:25-26: “They changed the truth of God for a lie... Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another.” According to our Creator, homosexual lifestyle is unnatural and it is a shameful lust. Luckily, it is a choice. L. Myyra White Rock ■ When I read Mr. Schouten’s letter

my first instinct was “great… let’s start another useless debate.” I only use the word “useless” because homosexuality has been around since the beginning of time and will be around till the end of time… get over it. We have much bigger issues that need our attention. Our kids are killing each other, drugs are being pushed in our schools and on our playgrounds, sex is everywhere. STDs and abortion are fall-out symptoms. Not to forget about the violent crime rate. Can any one of us sleep safely at night without a major lockdown and a state-of-the-art alarm system? Mainstream entertainment

media glorifies sex, violence and inebriation, and we all sit and say “why is our society falling to pieces?” Honestly, I really don’t care what anyone does in their bedrooms – I just wish it was all back in the bedroom. I’d like to see everyone remember what respect for community and each other actually means and practise it, and finally I’d like to see us all focus our energy to working together to protect our communities. Do I have the answer? No, but maybe if we all focus in one direction, collectively, we just might find an answer, or at the very least, a place to start. Stacey Marton, Surrey

Assistant chief electoral officer Anton Boegman shows return envelope voters will use to return HST ballots.

They convinced us to say ‘yes’ Editor: There are some who subscribe to the idea that if the lie is big enough and repeated often enough, there are those who will believe it. Such is the case with the government’s advertising campaign regarding the HST. They try to persuade us that all financial transactions in B.C. were subject to GST. Nothing could be further truth. There are countless examples of GST-exempt transactions; hair salons, barbershops and restaurant meals are just three. I find it insulting the B.C. government thinks I would sell my HST vote for $120, so that instead of paying $6,000 in tax per year I would only have to pay $5,880 per year in tax at 10 per cent instead of 12 per cent. I am not that naive or stupid. While the government says the HST is good for B.C., I fail to see how it is good for British Columbians. I heard the BC Liberals want to change their name. How about “The Hole In The Wall Gang”? Barry Gaudin, White Rock ■ The government and big business is doing all they can to promote a “No” to the HST question. That question alone is misleading and apt to confuse. “Yes” means get rid of the HST; “No” means keep it. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon, a very astute man, claims that if the HST stays the way it is, with minor concessions down the road, the average family will have a tax reduction of $120 a year. He does not tell us how he arrived at this magic figure. Firstly: the two per cent reduction kicks in in 2014. Secondly: two per cent of 12 per cent reduces the HST burden of $350 a year per family to about $290. Thirdly: The government has not said they would give up the extra tax on many items added lately, which amount to about 20 per cent of the HST. Fourthly: the extra payment given to low-income earners will be offset by the said 20 per cent which is now added to the HST.

Fifthly: big business will probably give the additional income to their shareholders, not customers, as boards determine dividends. Sixthly: Many restaurants and other small businesses are being closed, due to the additional tax. So where are the masses of new employees? Economists have brainwashed many. They are mostly employed by business and know what is good for them. I myself am not an NDPer and favour the Liberals, but the HST is a bad thing for the average B.C. resident. That is why I will vote ‘yes’; get rid of it. Bernie Baumgartel, Surrey ■ Hmmm, first we had a sales tax called the PST, imposed by our provincial government. Then our federal government imposed a GST. Then the two of them got together and decided to harmonize an HST on us. End result? We pay more, and tax exemptions have largely disappeared. And do you really think either government will ever renounce this tax? Forget about which parties are in power in far-off places like Victoria and Ottawa; they all want lots of our money – which is frequently used to bribe us. Nothin’ wrong with spending taxes on good things like health care or education, if done wisely. But maybe all sorts of money is wasted in all sorts of places, too. I think it’s best to say “Yes, we don’t want the HST” – what a convoluted way to phrase the question – and send all them politicos back to the drawing boards so we can pay less on everything we pay for, goods or service! Some jurisdictions are smarter than us and don’t charge a sales tax at all. Maybe there is a better way we can pay for our necessary services. At least give us the chance to decide our future course of action without being fed an ‘unbiased’ line by the stick-men – also paid for by us. Roll back the clock to Day 1 and let’s have an inclusive discussion on how the majority of us want to raise money to provide our essential services. Fred Amos, Surrey

Judge rules on workplace death of South Surrey resident

Company fined $140,000 Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A company charged under the Canada Labour Code in connection with the July 2009 death of South Surrey resident Aaron Sigmund has been fined $140,000 in Surrey Provincial Court. The judgment against Fraser River Pile & Dredge (GP) Inc. – to be paid in six quarterly installments – was rendered March 15, but only â??The corporate posted online defendant was this week. In his reanot vigilant in sons for senassessing their tence, Judge R.D. Miller workplace noted the for safety company violations.â?ž pleaded guilty Judge R.D. Miller to failing to install guards, guardrails, barricades and fences on the starboard side of a dredge, “the direct result of which was the death of Aaron Sigmund.â€? The 38-year-old died July 9, 2009, when he was crushed by a hydraulic counterweight while working on a routine painting job on a cutter-section dredge. “He placed himself in an area where he was at risk of being pinned and suffocated by a piece of machinery,â€? the court document states. “This is, in fact, what happened.â€? Sigmund was an icon for drug recovery. Eight years clean and sober at the time of his death, Sigmund’s story of overcoming a heroin addiction helped many in the recovery community in their own battles against drugs and alcohol. Following news of his death, Surrey Coun. Judy Villeneuve described him as someone who “overcame so many difficulties in his life to turn his life around and become a really responsible

Students improve literacy skills with the help of four-legged companions

Therapy dogs are a reader’s best friend Hannah Sutherland

O

Staff Reporter

n her regular Friday-morning shift, Katie walks into White Rock Elementary and is greeted by the excited students she has come to help read. She has two associates in tow – 200pound, three-foot-tall Chewbacca, whose head could compete with the size of most watermelons, and nine-year-old Dougal, who has been known to sit on students when she senses they are having a rough day. Despite having a bad back and sight in just one eye – not to mention being a dog – there is no doubting Katie’s ability to engage young learners. The six-year-old miniature English bull terrier has been coming to the school the last few months to provide a nonjudgemental and inviting audience for students who are working to improve their literacy skills. As a fully trained therapy dog certified in the Reading Education Assistance Dogs (READ) program, Katie – as well as Chewbacca and Dougal – can sit for extended periods of time as children read aloud to them. For youngsters like Teaghan Summerhayes, practising with dogs makes the daunting prospect of reading in front of a classroom easier to stomach. “I have stage fright,” the 10-year-old says, noting she was unable to do a recent class presentation. “I don’t like reading out loud but when I read to dogs, I’m fine. “When I have dogs, I’m not afraid to say recovering and relearning the necessary what I need to say.” skills, the terrier gained her READ The animals are animated listeners, often certification.

When reciting to the dogs, students aren’t just improving their reading ability, according to Putman. They also learn comprehensive skills by explaining to the dogs what certain words mean, and work on being active listeners when reading in a group. Participants – who are selected by teachers – also gain self esteem and confidence, and practice important social skills when taking a break from reading to play soccer with Katie. They learn to work as a team and congratulate each other, all the while being mindful of Katie out on the field. “Empathy is really important,” Putman � see page 14

Alzheimer workshop

The Alzheimer Society of B.C. is hosting a free tele-workshop this month to address how changes in the brain due to Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia often appear to family members as changes in the person’s behaviour. White Rock caregivers will learn how to understand behaviour as a form of communication in the free workshop, to be offered June 23 starting at 7 p.m. Understanding Behaviour will explore strategies for determining what the person with dementia might be trying to communicate, finding ways to decrease the occurrence of concerning behaviours and how to respond in supportive ways. The tele-workshop is designed for family caregivers, but is also open to health-care providers. It can be accessed via telephone, with an optional web component. Pre-registration is required by June 20. Visit www. alzheimerbc.org or phone toll-free 1-866396-2433.

Fleegham, says she is aware of just one other school in the Surrey district offering READ. She introduced the program to Don Christian Elementary in Cloverdale two years ago, and continues to volunteer there once

a week with Chewbacca and fourfoot-tall Liam, her two-year-old Irish wolfhound. It’s Fleegham’s hope that students in other schools can be given the same opportunity. Putman agrees. “There’s no reason there shouldn’t be a READ program in every school.” But before the program can grow, more dogs need to be trained. “The goal here is take away the smoke and mirrors around having a therapy dog,” Putman says. “It’s not as hard as you think.” For more information on training, visit bluedogbookkeeping.ca and click on the ‘therapy dog’ link.

White Rock/ South Surrey Food Bank volunteer Bruce Strom shows some of the greens that can be easily grown by just about anybody, living anywhere. Tracy Holmes photo

Food bank going green Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

It doesn’t take much for individuals to increase their access to healthy, safe food. In fact, with little more than a garden pot, seeds, soil and a light source, an entire salad can be had in about a month. Sharing the simplicity of growing the greens was the aim of a recent workshop at the White Rock/South Surrey Food Bank. “Hopefully, they’ll be eating their salad greens in (about) 30 days,� food bank manager Ruth Chitty said. “It’s very simple.� Led by volunteer Bruce Strom, the June 2 workshop was organized to mark National Hunger Awareness Day.

Strom is a Cloverdale resident who grew up on a hobby farm and gardens year-round. He has been eating home-grown food for months already this year and said it’s an easy, affordable treat anyone who wants to can enjoy. “It’s really not (complicated),� Strom said. Strom shared some of his own seeds with participants; the food bank supplied everything else. Chitty said about 20 food bank clients participated in the workshop, and more will be held if the interest is there. She noted the theme of this year’s National Hunger Awareness Day was about making changes – changes in how people talk about hunger, and getting

people to think about what they could do to make a change themselves. “People want to make change themselves,� Chitty said. “Growing small amounts of food is a small step, but it is a significant one.� She noted that teaching food bank clients how to grow their own food in no way takes the burden off the food bank, which sees about 520 people through its doors every week. “We don’t fill the gap. It just adds to the access to nutritious and healthy food,� she said. “It’s about accessibility and that’s what food security is all about.� For more information, call 604531-8168.

George Shindel’s fundraising efforts have been given a boost from his coworkers at Montana’s; they donated their tips to the cause. Which was also the case for Schindel. The Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary grad said he wasn’t aware of the fundraiser until his father, David, was diagnosed. “It hits home pretty quick.” Since then, Schindel has continually shaved his head in support of his father, who is to begin his sixth round of chemotherapy in the coming weeks. Although his family was “a little surprised” to hear of his

participation in the Ride to Conquer Cancer, Schindel said his father is behind him. “He’s really supportive of it right now.” Family members plan to see him off Saturday and watch him cross the finish line the following day – and it may not be the last time they do so. “Odds are, I’m going to be doing this for a bit.” To donate to Schindel, visit va11.conquercancer.ca

� from page 17 years, bought his first road bike a few months later. “It was a bit of an adjustment,” he said, referring to the clip-in pedals. “It’s fun – it’s a different style of riding.” He has been training since February, riding an average of 30 km once a week or more. During the June 18-19 journey, he hopes to ride six hours each day. Schindel will be joined by a familiar face – his youth pastor from Westwinds Community Church, Reuben Kramer, is also taking part in the ride. Not only do the two have to prepare for the physical challenge, but they are also required to fundraise a minimum of $2,500 to participate. Thanks to the generosity of Schindel’s coworkers, the duo has received a boost to put them well over that mark. On May 15, all staff at Montana’s in Grandview Corners donated their tips to the cause, raising $2,500 – more than doubling their initial goal. Not only did the contribution help Schindel come within just $500 of his $5,000 target, but it raised awareness of the event itself. “When we had the fundraiser at Montana’s, people didn’t know what the ride was,” he said. “People see it but they don’t register until someone close to them is diagnosed.”

THE TOUR DE WHITE ROCK PRESENTS:

FROM AN EXPERT

RIDING the AMATEUR HILL CLIMB (2) This is part 2 of the article on training for the Just Giver Amateur Hill Climb. Your strength is based upon your genetic structure and your learned behaviour (aka training). There’s nothing you can do about the former (you can blame your parents for this) but there’s a huge upside to increasing your fitness through specific training activities. To simplify the process, we’ll break down riders into 3 groups; those who are attempting a Hill Climb for the first time; more experienced riders who ride hills as part of their regular daily or weekly rides; and experienced riders who embrace hills as part of their regular training program. For all 3 groups, the objective is to be at peak fitness on the day of the Hill Climb. However, the training program is different for each group. Note that for any training program it is important to be in good physical condition (check with your doctor if you have concerns), and hard training should always be preceded with and followed by a warm up and cool down ride. Additionally, a stretching routine (particularly post ride) is a must to prevent muscle pulls and other ailments. For the first timers the plan is to gradually build your strength over a number of weeks with the objective of being in peak condition on the day of the Hill Climb. Typically you should be on your bike at least 3 times per week with a gradual increase in the distance and intensity of your rides. One ride should be a 1 to 2 hour long slow distance (LSD), riding

easily without breathing hard and able to make conversation with your riding partner. A second ride should be more race specific i.e. hill training (or hill repeats) which enable the body to get used to the rigors of racing up hills. Find a couple of local hills (shouldn’t be difficult in White Rock) with one being used as a warm up hill, and the second hill that more closely reflects the steepness and length of Buena Vista hill. Following your warm up, head to the easy hill and do 2-3 rides. Then move to the steeper hill for another 3-4 repeats. (Note that each climb should take the same amount of time.) Follow this with your cool down ride. The third ride of the week should be an ‘up tempo’ ride of approx. 1 hour, consisting of rolling hills and flat roads and ride it at approx. 75% of your full out pace. This will increase your power and get your body used to riding at a faster pace. For the more experienced rider the approach is similar except that 4-5 rides can be completed each week, with the LSD rides a little longer, the hill repeats on steeper hills, and up tempo ride(s) a little quicker, on hillier routes. For the experienced rider, you’ve been riding so long that your body knows what it can do, so do what you normally do. Focussing more upon (steeper) hill repeats a few weeks before the Hill Climb should provide sufficient preparation. Next time we’ll discuss the specifics of the bicycle and race day preparation. Grab your bicycle and sign up to race the Amateur Hill Climb! Race starts at Oxford St. and shoots up Buena Vista Ave. Registration is open to men and women 18+ and can be done by contacting White Rock Leisure Services at 604.541.2199. Stick around after you race to enjoy watching the pro’s climb Buena Vista! This is the seventh installment of an 11 week series of articles presented by local experts in the field of Fitness, Cycling, Nutrition and Psychology. Each of our experts will bring a slightly different perspective to help you implement and maintain a healthy lifestyle, and to help you make better and healthier choices in your life.

Rents, vacancy rates up Jeff Nagel Black Press

Rents edged up 2.6 per cent in Metro Vancouver over the past year, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. The average rent for a twobedroom apartment climbed to $1,181 in April, up from $1,150 a year before. Further east in the Fraser Valley, Abbotsford-area rents climbed 1.9 per cent from $783 to $797. The provincial average rose 2.1 per cent from $983 to $1,015, CMHC reported. While prices are up slightly, the latest rental market survey found it’s somewhat easier to find a unit. Vacancy rates in Metro Vancouver increased from 2.2 to 2.8 per cent and from 3.1 to 3.7 per cent province wide. There was no change in 6.6 per cent vacancy rate in Abbotsford. CMHC economist Carol Frketich said the rental unit supply rose as tenants in purpose-built apartment buildings bought their own homes or moved into secondary suites or investorowned condos not covered under the survey.

Nick Catroppa, Maria’s youngest son, said while what he and his family have gone through has been a nightmare, he still has one more horrid day ahead – the day he has to tell his young children the truth about how their Nana died. Many family members spoke of warning signs Catroppa was a victim of domestic abuse – her husband forbidding her to leave the house, struggling with her for car keys and standing over her while she slept. During the trial in April, the court heard the couple was having marital troubles and Damin believed his wife wanted him to leave. Defence lawyers were seeking a manslaughter conviction, but Josephson said Damin showed the necessary intent for seconddegree murder. “This was not a single blow in a heated moment,” Josephson said. Catroppa’s family has established The Maria Catroppa Memorial Award at Kwantlen Polytechnic University to help single mothers who might not otherwise be able to further their education.

ICBC could help curb home break-ins: critic Jeff Nagel Black Press

ICBC officials say they’ll look at loosening the requirement to keep auto insurance papers in the vehicle – a rule some owners say leaves them vulnerable to home burglars. Thieves sometimes break into vehicles, get the address of the owner from the insurance papers, and then go loot the home. Some even use a garage door opener from the car to get inside. Chilliwack university instructor Ken Pugh has been pressing ICBC to act. He says crooks going for the car-home break-in combo target vehicles likely to be parked for hours at places like movie theatres, trail heads and churches. “Sometimes they even slash the tires so the owners can’t get

Ken Pugh shows off his scanned and reprinted insurance papers that have his last name and address removed, in order to prevent theft. home quickly,” he said. “They’ve got it down to an art.” That threat could be eliminated, Pugh said, if ICBC let owners keep their original car insurance papers at home and use a photocopy in the vehicle with the address blacked out if they’re stopped by police. So far, ICBC officials maintain originals must stay with the vehicle and it would take

provincial legislation to change that rule. “We’re taking a look at what can be done to address these concerns,” ICBC spokesperson Kathy Taylor said. “Sometimes a quick fix to a process is possible, but we want to exercise due diligence to make sure we wouldn’t be creating any larger issues.” Meanwhile, ICBC recommends storing the originals in a hidden

panel or secure storage box in the vehicle or else taking them with you when you’re away from your car. But carrying a sheaf of insurance documents is impractical, said Pugh. “I’d need a manpurse,” he said. “A wallet’s not big enough.” And he doubts any hiding place inside a vehicle would be thiefproof. He argues B.C. could simply follow the lead of Saskatchewan, which provides a walletsized card for proof of insurance and allows drivers to keep the original documents at home. “ICBC has been very slow to react to this,” he said, adding he has neighbours who are afraid to leave their homes after a flurry of break-ins. The auto insurer doesn’t seem to care if criminals target homes,

he said, but added the provincial government should if it’s serious about public safety and protecting families. “This is an outdated procedure that is no longer in the interests of public safety.” Pugh wants Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond to intervene and is also asking

B.C.’s Information and Privacy Commissioner to investigate and potentially order ICBC to change its policy. RCMP E Division spokesperson Sgt. Rob Vermeulen said it’s likely rare that burglars target homes using insurance paperwork, but added it’s wise to take precautions.

“Our advice would not be to leave the documents in the vehicle,” he said. “Carry them with you.” A thief stopped by police in a stolen vehicle would also be unable to produce documents and pass himself off as a legitimate operator, he added.

Femme Fusion

A mother-daughter show by painter-photographer and multimedia artist Katherine Siemens and painter-photographer Savannah Hatch, Femme Fusion (June 17-July 18) opens this week at Laura’s Coffee on the Corner (formerly Coffee With Attitude), 10-15208 Pacific Ave. (at Five Corners at the foot of Johnston Road). Opening reception will be Friday (June 17 at 7 p.m.) at Laura’s, with the artists in attendance. A re-examination of female archetypes from different cultures, the show will feature the pair’s most recent acrylics, watercolours, mixed-media pieces and photography. Siemens (whose work was featured most recently in Exotique at White Rock Museum and Archives) has previously collaborated in shows with her daughter. Still on display (until Friday) at Laura’s, which has recently become a venue for local visual artists, are photography and acrylic paintings by Robynn Alexandria Nord. The self-taught artist has been painting in oil and acrylics for the last five years, but has lately become interested in photography as a mode of expression. Nord counts nature, people, travel, poetry and music as her principal inspirations; her current work on display features her moody and powerful interpretations of urban and semiurban landscapes. For more information, call 604538-6600.

Live music

The Sandpiper Pub’s Wednesday Night Live lineup includes rock and Irish tunes by dynamic vocalist Pat Chessell and his group, described as “the quintessential pub band” (June 15); Too Cool Tina with Dave Young and Urban Affair (June 22); The Purple Gang with Johnny Faith and Ian Paxton (June 29) at 8:30 p.m. White Rock Elks Lounge, 1469 George St., presents Pride of Erin (June 15, 3:30 to 5 p.m.); Thomas MacKay (June 22 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.) and Athenry (June 29, 4 to 7 p.m. Free; everyone welcome.

A tasteful gathering

A Taste of Ocean Park returned to Potter’s Nursery on June 4, giving visitors a garden setting for relaxed samplings of wines, beer and food from a variety of distributors and vendors. Adding to the cultural ambience of the event – presented by the Ocean Park Community Association and the South Surrey Kiwanis – was featured musical entertainment by Gord Scott and Laura Thibeault.

The Cat’s Meow

The Cat’s Meow, by Steven Peros, continues until June 25 at the Coast Capital Playhouse, in a White Rock Players production directed by Shelagh Shermann. Strong performances by Paul Kloegman (Hearst), Jason Dedrick (as pioneering movie producer and director Thomas H. Ince), Deborah Spitz (as novelist Elinor Glyn) and Jane Mantle (as newspaper columnist Louella Parsons) bring verve to this jazz-age tale, based on a real-life Hollywood scandal. Peros’ script, the basis for the 2004 movie adaptation, is receiving its Canadian premiere in this production, which sustains its mood well, while playing fast and loose with details of its time period. A fascinating cross section of silent movie era characters’ lives intersecting during one notorious weekend on board newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst’s yacht in 1924 – including Hearst’s mistress, movie actress Marion Davies, and Charlie Chaplin. A mysterious death, galloping rumours, and a botched investigation that to many screamed ‘cover up’ – all have made the cruise of the Oneida an enduring legend of the movie capital.

The show also features Marissa Whiteway (Davies), Michael Jenkins (Chaplin), Alexandra Wilson (actress Margaret Livingston), Fred Partridge (agent George Thomas), Dave Carroll (Dr. Daniel Goodman), Margaret Shearman (Mrs. Goodman), Jesse Friesen (secretary Joseph Willicombe) and Amelia Ross and Krystle Hadlow as flappers Celia Moore and Didi Dawson. The show continues with Wednesday to Saturday performances at 8 p.m. (there will also be a Sunday matinee June 19, 2:30 p.m.). For tickets, visit www. whiterockplayers.ca or call 604536-7535.

Theatre reading

Ellie King’s Royal Canadian Theatre Society is inviting the public to a sneak-peek read-through of its upcoming production A Bedfull of Foreigners, a rollicking farce by Dave Freeman, Friday (June 17) at 6 p.m. at Cerealicious, Morgan Crossing (24 Avenue at Croydon Drive). The full production will take the stage Aug. 4 to 28 at Coast Capital Playhouse.

Artsolutely Fabulous

Artsolutely Fabulous is back after a two-year hiatus. The gala evening will be held June 17, 6:30 p.m. at Blue Frog Studios, 1328 Johnston Rd., White Rock. It’s a chance for artists to show off their best works – and an opportunity for the public to own an outstanding piece of original art. Tickets for the evening gala are $475 per couple, and include appetizers, beverages, live music and a one-of-a-kind work of art valued at a minimum of $600 (although many are valued considerably higher). Ticket holders choose a random number upon arrival and guests have their choice of artwork based on their order in the number queue. Thirty-five artists are featured and only 35 tickets are available, meaning every couple leaves with a piece of art. Featured artists include Richard Tetrault, Jim Adams, John Butt, Nicole Carrie, Larry Tillyer, Irma Bijdemast, Sam Lam and many more. The event is a fundraiser for Semiahmoo Arts to assist bringing a continuous flow of diverse arts

and cultural programs to the Semiahmoo Peninsula. Reservations can be made by emailing niamh@semiahmooarts. com. For more information, please visit www.semiahmooarts.com/ visual/artsolutely-fabulousfundraiser

Weight Loss Surgery? “Linda is one of my patients that has struggled with weight for years. She dieted but always regained her weight with additional added pounds. We wanted to provide the best procedure for her and decided on the new Gastric Sleeve. We perform more Sleeve procedures than any clinic in the region and have perfected our technique to the point where people are going home the same day. The Sleeve Gastrectomy produces the same weight loss results as the Bypass surgery without the risk, malnutrition, and complications with certain foods. As you can see Linda is free from weight issues, disease and is living a quality life now.” Patient care is our passion.

On Sunday, White Rock lost two more – both in extra innings – 2-1 and 4-3 to the Abbotsford Cardinals. “And in that one, we just couldn’t buy a hit,” Smithson said. “It’s tough – we’re always just one hit away but we can’t � see page 48

South Surrey’s Richard Weinberger wins pair of gold medals at Florida open-water festival

One stroke closer to Olympics Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Former South Surrey swimmer Richard Weinberger – who now lives and trains in Victoria – took another step toward a berth in the next Summer Olympics, after a double-gold performance in Florida on the weekend. Weinberger, a 21-year-old Semiahmoo Secondary grad, opened the 10th annual Open Water Festival in Fort Myers, Fla. with a victory in the men’s 10-km event, finishing the grueling challenge in two hours, four minutes and 12 seconds – just two seconds ahead of Victoria’s Aimeson King. Then, later that same day, Weinberger won

gold in the Crippen Mile race, named in honour of 26-year-old American open-water swimmer Fran Crippen, who died last October during a World Cup race in the Middle East. Eighty-three swimmers took part in the mile race. And while the 10-km victory earned Weinberger a spot at FINA World Championships later this summer in Shanghai, China – which is one step from an Olympic berth – the win in the race named for Crippen also meant a lot to the South Surrey native. “He was such a great swimmer,” Weinberger said. “I remember telling my coach, ‘I wish I had his speed, I wish I had his stroke.’ Just his

attitude, everything – he was such a great swimmer.” The Open Water Festival also served as a trial meet for the Canadian national team, and Weinberger’s victory gives him an inside track to qualify in the 10-km race – which is a new distance added since the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Weinberger – a former indoor swimmer with the South Surrey-based Pacific Sea Wolves – has plenty of international experience already. Last summer, he was the top Canadian swimmer at a FINA World Cup event in Quebec, and he also won a bronze medal in the 10-km race at the 2010 Pan Pacific Championships last summer in Los Angeles.

Tritons look to rebound against Twins, Reds � from page 47 get it.” In the first game, Abby scored the winning run in the bottom of the eighth inning, but in the second game, White Rock had a chance to salvage a split. With the game tied in the top of the eighth, Tony Tabor – who was on base with a single – scored after an error by the Cardinals catcher, but in the bottom half of the inning, the Cards won the game by scoring two runs of their own. The quartet of losses was made more frustrating, Smithon said, considering his team came into the weekend on something of a high, after two impressive mid-week victories, over the Langley Blaze and Coquitlam Reds. The Tritons now sport an 11-17 record and are 10th in the 13-team PBL – two spots out of a playoff berth – but Smithson said now is not the time for his team to panic. “We just have to forget about these games and power through, that’s all we can do,” he said. “We’re still right there… all the teams from sixth to 10th have about the same number of losses, so if we have one good week or 10-day stretch, we’re right back in the thick of things.” White Rock played Tuesday

White Rock Christian’s Stephanie Beck ‘excited for next chapter’ of athletic career

Thrower set to join Huskies Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

When graduating student-athletes are set to leave high school behind, they’re faced with tough decisions about where they want to spend the next four years of their athletic and academic careers. And though the process can be a stressful one, it was doubly so for White Rock Christian Academy’s Stephanie Beck, who not only had to choose a new school, but also a sport. Since arriving at WRCA in Grade 8 – she went to elementary school in Delta – Beck has been a two-sport star, excelling in both volleyball and track and field, where she’s been among the province’s best discus and hammer throwers. And she had scholarship offers for both sports, too, before ultimately deciding to further her track and field career with the University of Washington Huskies The decision to give up volleyball – where she’d helped WRCA to a fifth place at provincials last fall – was not easy, she said, but in the end, the solitary aspect of track won out. “I love the team aspect of volleyball, but I also really like working by myself, depending on just me,” she said. “In track, if you screw something up, it’s all on you. And it’s the same if you win.” Beck agreed to join the Huskies earlier this spring, but officially signed the papers during a ceremony at WRCA last week. “It just seemed like the right fit for me,” said the Richmond Kajaks track club member, who previously trained with South

High School Track and Field Championships, Beck – who called her performance at the meet, “OK, but not great,” – placed fifth in discus with a top throw of 32.67 metres, and sixth in hammer throw, with a distance of 42.06 m. Neither were personal bests for Beck, and she planned on training throughout the summer, possibly with an eye towards

Junior National Championships next month in Winnipeg. She’ll head to Washington in mid-August. “I’m really excited… a little nervous, too, but mostly excited about it,” she said. “I’ll be close enough to home – just a few hours – but also just far enough away. I wanted to go somewhere else and experience something new. I’m really excited for the next chapter – it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

U15 Eagles at the national volleyball championships. When the Fusion players were looking a little defeated during their second game against Surrey, the Ottawa coach reminded them, “You’re playing in front of the freaking prime minister of Canada! Pick up your socks,” recalled Surrey parent Lynne Robinson, who accompanied her son Mitchell’s team to the tournament. After pulling out to an early lead,

the Eagles lost their first game against Ottawa 23-25 before taking Game 2 25-18 – in spite of the opposing team’s motivational strategy. In Game 3, Fusion established an early lead and won 15-9. Harper’s son was in the starting lineup, said Robinson, adding that the Ottawa team was impressive. The Eagles, a U-15 B.C. Volleyball Association team that practises out of Clayton Heights and

Fraser Heights secondary schools, were B.C. silver medalists, and were ranked ninth going into the Calgary event, which featured the top 32 teams from across the country. Mitchell Robinson was named to the tournament all-star team. “And the whole thing was an experience they will likely tell their grandchildren about,” said Lynne Robinson. “It’s not every day you get to meet the prime minster, let alone play in front of him.”

We are pleased to announce that Surrey is now collecting mattresses for recycling.

Mattress Collection Challenges

Surrey’s Response...Recycle It!

On January 1, 2011, Metro Vancouver placed a disposal ban on mattresses as they are operationally difficult to handle and recyclable when properly disassembled. Mattresses disposed of as garbage cannot be compacted – consuming a large amount of landfill space. In addition, the springs within mattresses often become tangled in equipment causing costly repairs. Customers that bring mattresses to regional transfer stations for disposal as garbage are charged $20/unit and are limited to only four (4) mattresses per load.

While Surrey had consequently stopped collecting mattresses via the Large Item Pickup Program as a result of the Metro Vancouver imposed disposal ban, the City has developed a process to recycle old unwanted mattresses. The City of Surrey will accept mattresses and box springs via the Large Item Pickup Program at no additional cost to residents. The collected mattresses will be delivered to a mattress recycling facility where they will be segregated into different materials and shipped to remanufacturing facilities to be processed into new reusable products.

How to Arrange Collection 1. Call Emterra Environmental at 604-635-5478 2. On the day of your appointment (or the evening before), place your mattress/boxspring at your curb. Ensure that your mattress is at the curb by 7:30am. * Please note that this program is available to households that are on the City’s door-to-door waste collection program. Mattresses or box springs will count towards your annual large item pickup limit of 4 items/calendar year.

For further information please visit www.surrey.ca or contact the Garbage & Recycling hotline at 604-590-7289. www.surrey.ca
