After years of lobbying by environmental groups, Surrey has endorsed a pesticide bylaw. Except in rare circumstances, chemicals used to control pests – either plant, fungus, insect or animal – will be restricted in Surrey, as council gave early approval to a pesticide bylaw Monday evening. The first three readings of the bylaw passed, with only Coun. Marvin Hunt opposed. The bylaw comes after years of lobbying from several groups. The Surrey and White Rock PesticideFree Coalition began putting pressure on Surrey three years ago to give up the cosmetic (aesthetic) use of pesticides. A year later, six students from

Kwantlen Polytechnic University schooled Surrey council on the perils of pesticides. They were armed with polls showing 74 per cent of residents approve of a ban on cosmetic use. They also carried with them a 1,133-name petition calling for the legislation. Council was reluctant to act, as city staff indicated it would cost almost $1 million annually to manually control weeds. Last year, the city’s own Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) delivered a stinging rebuke of Surrey’s inaction on pesticides. “Surrey is one of the last municipalities in the Lower Mainland without such a regulation,” EAC chair Al Schultze told council in June. “I would say see page 4

news notes

Birds taken Surrey police are investigating the theft of nearly a dozen exotic birds from a home near 166 Street and 32 Avenue. Bird owner Russ Hill said the macaw, cockatoos, Alexandrines, lilac-crowned Amazon and Indian ring necks were taken between 12:30 and 10 a.m. April 3. The family was in the process of moving to North Delta, and the birds were among items that had yet to be moved, Hill said Monday. One of the feathered friends, a blue-gold macaw named Peanut, is worth about $4,000, he said. Bare-eyed cockatoo Bijou knows Hill’s name. All of the birds were taken in their cages, from a downstairs room. The culprit or culprits gained access through a lower window, Hill said. Some of the birds would be easy to identify, he added. One, a female umbrella cockatoo named Casey, has curved back talons; the Amazon, Oscar, has a crippled right claw; and Sidney, a two-year-old medium sulfur-crested cockatoo, has a pinned broken wing. Hill said area veterinarians have been asked to keep an eye out. He believes whoever took the birds will likely try to

Driver down A pair of seniors suffered minor injuries Friday when the car they were travelling in went over an embankment in the 15000block of Buena Vista Avenue. White Rock RCMP Const. Janelle Shoihet said the crash occurred at about 7:30 p.m. when the 83-year-old driver’s foot became stuck between the accelerator and brake, preventing him from being able to stop. The vehicle was travelling southbound on Martin Street at the time. It flew through the intersection at Buena Vista, over the embankment and into a home. Both the driver and his 85-year-old passenger were taken to hospital.

Scooter crash A 65-year-old woman was taken to hospital with arm and head injuries Sunday after her motorized scooter collided with a vehicle at the corner of Buena Vista Avenue and Johnston Road.

City tries to move past sea-fest criticisms Alex Browne Staff Reporter

White Rock will have a sea festival this year – but it’s now up to corporate sponsorship, and a new “partnership” of the Community of Lights Events Society and the city, to determine how large it will be. Admitting, in Mayor Catherine Ferguson’s words, “there have been learnings on both sides,” White Rock council Monday endorsed recommendations that approve the CLES as event organizer for the 2010 Spirit of the Sea Festival. “These recommendations... will allow the the festival to be on Marine Drive and not just in Semiahmoo Park,” Ferguson said. “It’s all about partnership and working together as a team.”

Mary-Wade Anderson expressed surprise the city had received no responses to the RFP, and recalled severe criticism of the CLES’ organization of last year’s event. “There was an enormous amount of arrogance presented, in that they did exactly what they wanted to do,” Anderson said. “I’m deeply concerned about the actions of last year.” But Clarkson said a letter of understanding would address most of these concerns. Once that letter is signed, Clarkson said, the city would be “supporting this group every step of the way.”

‘Missing’ gambler among those found at border Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

An elderly couple who forgot their daughter at a U.S. gas station, an impaired parent and a man travelling with a loaded Glock 23 were among those either turned back or arrested at the local borders in recent weeks. Canada Border Services Agency officers also ‘found’ a man who had been reported missing from Delta – after he checked in on his return from an 18-hour casino stop. According to CBSA reports, the aforementioned elderly couple arrived at the Douglas border in a California-plated vehicle on March 29 and handed over three passports for inspection. When asked where the third person in their party was, the couple panicked, realizing they had left their daughter at a gas station 35 minutes south. The woman was contacted by

cellphone and the couple was sent back to pick her up. A Canadian mother is facing charges after border officers working on March 29 detected “several indicators of impairment” in a woman attempting to re-enter the country after dropping her daughter off at the Bellingham airport. According to CBSA, police were called and the woman arrested after she failed a breathalyzer test. No details were available as to the age of the daughter. A spontaneous admission to travelling with a loaded handgun landed a U.S. resident in hotter water when he tried to enter Canada at the Pacific Highway crossing on March 27. The man was initially arrested when he was sent for a secondary inspection and border officers found a stun gun, pepper spray and a pipe with marijuana residue in his pockets. The individual blurted

out details of a gun in his vehicle when he was taken to cells, CBSA officials said. Investigating, officers also found three high-capacity magazines. Charges are pending. A trio of northbound U.S. residents – two men and a woman – are under investigation after Canadian border guards found more than $140,000 in American currency hidden under their jackets. According to CBSA, the three arrived at the Douglas crossing on March 20 and told officers they were heading for a four-day visit with family. During a secondary examination, money in two bags – one containing US$25,046 and $405 Cdn, and the other with US$116,165 – was found strapped to the men. A Canadian passport and several other identity documents were also found. The funds were seized as suspected proceeds of crime and the

travellers were sent back to the U.S. Investigation is ongoing. A convicted sex offender was turned back at the same crossing on March 23, after arriving at the border with his sister and brother-in-law with reported plans to sightsee in Vancouver. According to CBSA, a criminal records check showed the individual was convicted of sexual abuse of a minor in 1991, and of violating conditions of his probation, including a no-contact order with the victim, in 1992 and 1994. Records also showed the traveller failed to register as a sex offender in 2005. The man was sent back to the U.S. and given a date for an immigration admissibility hearing after telling a CBSA officer he had been offered a job driving commercial trucks in Canada and was planning to move here. On March 20, Pacific Highway

officers turned away a man who described himself as a “full-patch” member of the Washington State chapter of the Hells Angels. One week later, on March 27, they identified a Canadian man who was determined to have an outstanding warrant for assault. And, on March 30, a Canadian man wanted on outstanding warrants including breach of conditions and mischief was arrested at the Douglas border after a Washington State Patrol officer picked him up on the I-5. The man admitted that police here were looking for him, said CBSA officials. He was brought to the border and turned over to Surrey RCMP. As for the ‘found’ man, CBSA officers called Delta police after it was determined that a northbound traveller coming from the Casino Washington had been reported missing by his family. Delta officers escorted the individual home.

He further charged that the HST was part of a federal government agenda to fall in line with harmonized sales taxes in Europe and elsewhere.

White Rock has legislation in place and Delta introduced a bylaw last November. (Last fall, Fraser Health Authority responded to an inquiry from White Rock by stating there is little evidence a pesticide ban would have human health benefits.) According to several recent studies conducted globally, the impacts on the environment are far-reaching.

A study released last year examined several rivers, including a stretch of South Surrey’s Nicomekl River, testing for pesticides. When exposed to similar levels in the lab, salmonids lost their sense of smell, which they use to differentiate predators from their own young and for imprinting a river so they can return for spawning. In March, India was attributing the loss of dolphins to pesticides,

The bylaw provides exemptions where Surrey doesn’t have the regulatory authority. Exemptions include: agriculture and forestry operations; controlling noxious needs (as defined under the Weed Act); controlling pests in or on buildings and hard landscaping; and purifying water used for human or animal consumption. The legislation is expected to return for final approval May 3.

and a California study attributed massive bee loss to pesticides. Surrey Coun. Bob Bose said children are most affected by the harsh chemicals being thrown into the environment, and the time for foot dragging on the issue has long passed. Mayor Dianne Watts agreed, noting the legislation would curb the use of pesticides by the public on private land and city staff on Surrey-owned properties.

More than $191,000 raised at Nite of Hope Elaine Morrison Black Press

The fight against breast cancer has added another $191,963.61 to its war chest – thanks to donors from White Rock and South Surrey. Thursday evening, the fifth annual Nite of Hope was held at Centennial Hall, and organizers said Semiahmoo Peninsula supporters really stepped up. “We are so lucky to be in this community,” event co-founder and breast-cancer survivor Debi Rumley said. The evening kicked off with the theme Time for Hope, and clocks and watches were rife in the decor and on the auction block, thanks to the wealth of sponsors involved in the event. The generosity of the crowd was exemplified on several levels – in particular, one live auction item was sold four times. A fishing trip, valued at $9,000, was purchased for $19,000. Due to its popularity, three backup bidders landed the same prize for the same price, bringing the proceeds for the popular trip to $76,000. Another prize, an impromptu Halloween party, enticed another 75 people to donate $150 each for the opportunity to scare up a little fun in October. MC was Global TV meteorologist Kristie Gordon, and keynote speaker was Dr. Stephen Chia, assistant professor of medicine at the University of B.C. New this year – but perhaps the most poignant part of the evening – was when all breast-cancer survivors in attendance were invited on stage to accept a rose and be serenaded by vocalist Angela Maffin. (Previous years had survivors stand up at their tables to be acknowledged.) “We didn’t know how many cancer survivors would come on stage, but we had 60 roses and we ran out,” Rumley said. Silent-auction tables were packed, and fundraising for the evening included several other sideline activities, such as a

Providing the plated steak dinner for the evening was chef Fred Edrissi of Aubergine Catering, complemented by a team of more than 70

waiters and waitress volunteers. In total, the event required more than 1,000 volunteers to ensure smooth operations. All tolled, the event was a massive success, said Rumley. “It was overwhelming, sensational and just a gratifying experience

to see so many people under one roof for a common cause and really helping to make a difference and knowing that money is going to research and that we had that researcher in the room with us, and his mentor, Dr. Stephen Chia.” Chia said in his address that what used to take $2-3 million to do, now takes a few thousand dollars and just a few hours based on improved technology driven by funding raised at events such as Nite of Hope. Rumley said funds from last year’s event are currently hard at work and well on their way to finding a cure for breast cancer. “By the time my daughter is old enough to worry about this, I hope it’s not an issue,” she said.

opinion Peace Arch News Published at White Rock by Black Press Ltd.

editorial

Surrey right to encourage green alternatives n Monday, Surrey tabled a long-awaited bylaw banning the use of pesticides – chemical applications against plant, fungus, insect or animal pests – on both private and public land. It’s about time. After being labelled “a laggard” last year by the chair of the city’s Environmental Advisory Committee, Surrey has finally joined the ranks of 29 other B.C. communities, including 12 in the Lower Mainland, in instituting such regulations. White Rock adopted its cosmetic pesticide legislation last year, after extensive lobbying by residents and other concerned individuals. Much awareness of the issue was raised by members of the Surrey and White Rock Pesticide-free Coalition. Delta’s bylaw, adopted in November, is set to take effect this fall. Most large home and garden centres have already stopped selling pesticides voluntarily. For some, not using harsh chemicals to control weeds and harmful insects will be difficult at first. Being able to spray and walk away has been a pain-free method for maintaining neat and tidy landscapes. Even Surrey staff warned it will cost $1 million annually to manually take care of pests and unwanted plants. But the payoffs – in terms of a healthier environment (not to mention healthier gardeners) – will be immeasurable. In fact, once in tune with seasonal cycles, local green thumbs may find that natural methods of garden care work even better than poisonous ones. A case in point: Observe the futile efforts of beleaguered homeowners trying to battle a chafer beetle infestation – which prompts crows, raccoons and skunks to relentlessly pull up lawn sod, decimating yards in their quest for juicy grubs. Covering the grass with barriers, erecting scarecrows... nothing seems to stop their lawns from becoming rototilled ruins. A simple application of nematodes – microscopic organisms – in late July or early August will eliminate the problem. The nematodes attack developing chafer larvae. No grubs; no critter munch-fest. Surrey is right to encourage even more such Earth-friendly behaviour with a bylaw.

big projects such as the Naikun wind proposal in Hecate Strait were passed over or delayed. Offshore wind is ambitious and expensive.

Another move in the big dance with Ontario is health care financing. B.C. Health Minister Kevin Falcon announced Monday that the province is moving to patient-centred funding, to “reward performance in health care delivery,” as the pre-Olympic throne speech put it. Ontario recently made a similar announcement. Speaking of the Olympics, you might remember the Ontario tourism ads that ran in heavy rotation on TV during the games. Guys wandering around with guitars, seniors in a museum and a female singer apparently suffering from constipation as she pleaded with the world to sample the delights of Toronto. B.C. replied with orcas, kayaks and Sarah McLachlan. No contest, really. But Ontario is still our big sister and we follow her footsteps.

Political missives

Huge blunder a done deal

Editor: Re: 10 per cent solution, April 7 letters. The Peace Arch News has given a good run to letter-writer Penny Essex and others who have been slamming MP Russ Hiebert and the Conservative party regarding taxpayer-funded mail-outs. I agree this communication tool can generate considerable feedback to sitting MPs across Canada, or it can be poorly used for political party promotion. As such, MPs of every party are responsible to their own voters on how and when they use these mailouts. Nevertheless, using the bulk mail system versus individually addressed mail-outs – as suggested in the accompanying PAN letter from Jim Ison – is a critical way for MPs to keep their costs down and makes good sense. Regarding using letters to the editor to promote a political party’s position, I think it is only appropriate that PAN clearly states who Essex represents. Essex is president of the Liberal Party of Canada for this riding. Therefore, one would expect that either Essex or PAN will disclose that fact when publishing any of her letters to the editor on political issues – especially when she is commenting on ethical communication practices by political parties. Jim Scott, Surrey (Editor’s note: Scott signed his letter as president of the Conservative Party of Canada, South Surrey/ White Rock/Cloverdale.) Q The letters in PAN that have nasty sniping remarks about MP Russ Hiebert are examples of why it is very hard to work in public life, and discourages many. The latest newsletter from Hiebert’s office gives info on the millions of dollars the federal government provided our community due to the MP’s diligence. Apparently, letter-writer Jim Ison thinks this good news is nonsense. Mary T. Harrington, Surrey Q May I suggest that you, as Peace Arch News editor, offer your services to our MP to edit any future editions of “The Conversation” – if there are any – since 68 per cent of our population don’t read this junk. Primo: Make sure that he does not address us with “I want to hear from you.” Secundo: Advise him that in our society, ladies come first; to include a photo of the Olympic torch relay in White Rock in February and caption it “Russ and Mayor Catherine Ferguson” shows a complete lack of basic education. Nine photos in this issue start with “Russ...” Unbelievable! Wolfgang Schmitz, White Rock

Editor: Let me start by saying I am the father of a White Rock firefighter, and that whether or not Surrey Fire Department takes over the obligation for emergency protection, as well as incidental services, my son will have a job, according to White Rock council. What needs to be understood is there are standards across North America which generally govern how fire departments are run. In B.C., we also have standards dictated by Worksafe BC. The National Fire Protection Association standard for emergency response from the time of receiving the call until the emergency vehicle reports on scene is generally accepted as three minutes or less. This standard cannot be achieved by Surrey FD into the lower reaches of White Rock from Halls 13 or 17. If Hall 13 is attending another call

and Hall 17 has to respond, that time frame is raised exponentially. That time frame when dealing with emergency medical aid is unacceptable, as we all know that time saved means lives saved. Enter the Worksafe BC and NFPA standards of the “two in two out” rule. To explain, two firefighters cannot enter an emergency situation in full protective gear unless two more firefighters are on the scene in protective gear ready to help in case anything goes wrong. This is why volunteers are so important for White Rock FD. Given this, if there is a fire in the lower reaches with Surrey FD responding, the public would only see firefighters standing on the street putting water on the fire from afar until help arrives. Once a fire has had sufficient time to catch hold, it will not only be very difficult to extinguish the fire, but to protect buildings on either side. This help cannot be guaranteed when incoming halls are as far away as Surrey’s are, especially if those halls are tied up at other incidents. Failure to comply with these

standards could easily end up in court due to the legal obligation of any jurisdiction to provide timely and efficient emergency protection. Along with their normal job of providing emergency services, members of White Rock Fire provide a great deal to this community – everything from pancake breakfasts to Christmas tree chipping with proceeds going to local charities. In 2009, monies raised were approximately $30,000. Does anyone think these individuals would put this effort into these off-duty endeavors in White Rock when they have been sold out by their employer? I could go on and refute the statements made to this newspaper, but after talking to members of the Surrey department and a wellrespected private consultant who deals with emergency management, I believe this is a done deal. One thing is for sure. This council – if they have their minds made up and contract out these services – will not be around to try to rectify this huge blunder in the future. Fred Bird, Surrey

Letter-writer Mauricio Kremer (left) wins a director’s seat on the White Rock Business Association March 31.

City undervalues its businesses An open letter to White Rock council. With all due respect, I would like to ask council the decision-making process when voting to allow the White Rock Business Improvement Association to continue for only one more year and then let the property owners on a positive vote decide the future of such an important organization trying desperately to promote and encourage business in your dying business community. This lack of leadership and council’s clear bias to discourage – instead of encourage – business in White Rock is wasting valuable time, money and resources that need to be directed at business growth and stability, rather than this mixed bag of roadblocks, procedure and misdirection. After the AGM in January and the EGM on March 31, it has been proven time and again that business owners in White Rock want the BIA to continue. Why won’t you listen and help improve and encourage White Rock business rather than continuing to waste needed time and money proving that the BIA model works? There are more than 1,500 BIAs in Canada and the U.S. that provide services, such as cleaning streets, providing security, making capital improvements and marketing the business community. BIAs all

over North America have proven to work for the benefit of the communities where they are formed. Why does the White Rock council want to reinvent a model that has been proven to work? I have to pause to consider your motivation, which seems to be to destroy and discourage the White Rock business community. What are you trying to accomplish? You can’t continue turning your heads to the other side hoping that the problem will go away. It will not. The city is dying a slow and painful death and unless our leaders step up to the challenge with vision and creativity we’ll see it happen sooner than later. I moved to White Rock because I thought it was a beautiful small city with vision and a bright future. The first time I met Mayor Catherine Ferguson, I saw a light of enthusiasm, character, and desire to move White Rock into the modern world. Unfortunately, the same vision is not shared by those who she needs by her side. I know I am not Shoppers Drug Mart or BC Liquor store but, in essence, the needs of my business, Keso Cheese, are the same – viability, sustainability and projection in the future or growth. Without these needs covered, I see no reason to stay. Mauricio Kremer, White Rock

Peninsula leads real estate rebound Jeff Nagel Black Press

What a difference a year makes. Greater Vancouver house prices are now up 23 per cent from the real estate market bottom one year ago, although the rebound is proving slower further east in the Fraser Valley. Benchmark detached houses sold for just over $800,000 in March, a number that’s once again at record levels, about 3.5 per cent above the pre-recession highs of spring 2008. The gains come in the wake of the world spotlight during the Olympics and have been powered by record low interest rates. But the statistics released by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver show the housing market recovery varies tremendously by city and neighbourhood, with the most expensive areas gaining fastest. Houses on the west side of Vancouver recorded the biggest one-year gain of 47 per cent to a benchmark price of $1.65 million, while Richmond houses were up 35 per cent to $899,000 and West Vancouver houses gained 30 per cent to $1.45 million. Burnaby, North Vancouver and Port Moody homes are also up around 25 per cent since March of 2009, but gains elsewhere range from eight to 18 per cent. Attached homes and condos in

WANTED: 50 people with hearing loss

Greater Vancouver are both up an average of 17 per cent from a year ago, to $493,000 and $395,000 respectively. Gains by local city range from four to 23 per cent. The hottest market in the Fraser Valley is White Rock/South Surrey, where benchmark house prices are up 20 per cent to $768,000. House price gains elsewhere in the Fraser Valley region range from one per cent in Mission to about 14 per cent in Langley, Cloverdale and the central part of Surrey. Overall, valley prices are up 12 per cent to $515,000 for detached houses, 10 per cent to $326,000 for townhouses and 8.6 per cent to $247,000 for condos. Those prices are still short of the record highs of 2008 but are “closing in” on that level, according to Fraser Valley Real Estate Board president Deanna Horn. Realtors say new listings have jumped in the past month, helping to ensure the market supply keeps pace with demand. Buyer demand could wane in the coming months. Mortgage rates have already started to creep up, tighter rules to qualify for insured mortgages kick in this spring and the introduction of the Harmonized Sales Tax in July will raise the cost of homes worth more than $525,000.

Staff Reporter

Students at Earl Marriott Secondary are coming together today (Wednesday) in recognition of Pink Shirt Anti-Bullying Day, with a focus on older grades reaching out to younger ones. “We’re one of the biggest schools in Surrey; naturally, younger students coming in could feel intimidated,” vice principal Claudine Bunyan said. To address the issue, senior students are taking on a leadership role and mentoring Grade 8s and 9s. “What we’re trying to do is really promote leadership within the school, and also promote diversity and understanding, and really get the Grade 8s and 9s in our school understanding the culture in our school is an antibullying culture.” Younger students are invited to participate in a number of games and activities April 14, including a ‘bullying game show’ in which contestants answer questions about bullying statistics. Pink shirts are being sold, and a bake sale will raise funds by donation for Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada. Students also have the opportunity to sign and put their handprint on a banner to show their willingness to stamp out bullying

But apparently we aren’t that smitten with them as some of us aren’t willing to pay full price and that explains our sale this week. Reg. 19.99 these beauties are on sale while they last and that won’t be long.

This Saturday all of our

Our Store Managers mostly ignore me and they never return my phone calls, so just for fun, why not come in on Thursday or Friday and ask them where the Geraniums are that are on special. I’m sure they’ll find that amusing. Let me know how it goes…. The Ad Guy

I know there are people who do not love their fellow man, and I just hate people like that!

3-Pack Pansies

The Boss’ phone rang last night. “You recognize my

Azaleas

voice,” the caller asked, “My are ready.” We sell at low prices and some growers are afraid to sell to us. They fret about losing their other customers. But the guy who called last night hasn’t ﬁgured out he is the best Azalea grower in the province and everyone knows his plants, so I guess he’s dead meat. We have a great selection of colours and varieties and the plants are stunning. Just coming into bloom. 1 gal pots. Reg. 9.99 Limit 12 per family order.

BUY ONE GET ONE

Most places offer for 1.89, which is a pretty fair deal when you consider how long they take to produce. Pansies are usually started inside greenhouses in September. Then they’re moved into cold frames to ﬁnish. This ensures the plants are hardy and ready to go out into your garden come spring. So you can see, 3 plants for 1.89 isn’t too bad a deal. For other people that is! Potters shoppers on the other hand, can pick them up for a paltry… 3 plants per pack. Lots and lots of colours. Limit 36 packs.

news Flag lowered to half-mast at RCMP headquarters

Candle ceremony honours war’s end

Heroes remembered Dan Ferguson Black Press

As the sun rose Friday morning, the flag at the Surrey RCMP headquarters was lowered to half-mast. It was part of a national day of remembrance to honour the Canadians who fought at Vimy Ridge during the First World War. It is the 93rd anniversary of the bloody battle of April 9, 1917 that saw Canadians storm heavily fortified German positions in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France. One of them was a 38-year-old private in the 87th Battalion named James Irving McMillan. The force of 520 men was cut to pieces during the 5:30 a.m. attack, with more than 60 per cent dead or wounded in the first six minutes. McMillan ran through the “no-mans land” of flying bullets, artillery explosions and the bodies of his own comrades to maintain contact between the commanders of the assault and the 50 surviving members of the battalion

who held the line against the Germans. He made the trip twice. After the war, McMillan moved to Surrey, where he lived for more than 45 years until he passed away in a veterans hospital. “He could have chosen any corner of the world to live in after the war, and he came here,” noted RCMP Cpl. Marc Searle, the Surrey detachment’s Strategic Operations NCO. “We have history right here in our community.” Searle discovered the story of McMillan when he organized a campaign to identify and mark the graves of 36 veterans at the Sunnyside cemetery in South Surrey. In Ottawa, the event at the National War Memorial noted the death of John Babcock, the sole surviving Canadian veteran from the First World War. Canadian fighter jets flew a “missing man formation” at the ceremony attended by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean. - with files from CTV News

To commemorate the 65th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, a Candlelight Ceremony will be held May 1 at 5 p.m. at Victory Memorial Park Cemetery, 14831 28 Ave. The event is hosted by the Peace Arch Zone of the Royal Canadian Legion – which comprises the Crescent and White Rock branches – and is open to the public. At 4:50 p.m., the Peace Arch Zone Colour Party, veterans, legion members, cadets and the Crescent Beach Pipe Band will march down for the ceremony. After the singing of the national anthem,

there will a ceremonial wreath-laying and placing of candles. The event will include an Aboriginal tobacco ceremony and a fly-past by the Warbirds. Lighted candles will then be laid on the graves of veterans, which will be marked with Canadian flags. The tradition stems from Dutch town Holten, which honours Canadians who died liberating their country at the end of the Second World War. The practice was introduced to B.C. several years ago by veterans organizations in collaboration with Veterans Affairs Canada.

Thy Will Be Done? A Will is a document that sets out a person’s wishes regarding the distribution of his or her estate after death. One should, therefore, be free to inherit or disinherit anyone one chooses, right? Not exactly... In B.C. we have legislation called the Wills Variation Act (WVA) that requires everyone to make adequate provision in their Will for their spouse and children. After your death, your Will can be challenged by your spouse (including your common law spouse) and children if they believe they have not been treated fairly under your Will. The WVA gives the court the power to vary the Will and to re-distribute your assets in the way that the court thinks fair. In other Provinces, this type of legislation is called “dependents relief" legislation because family members who were Ànancially dependent on the deceased person are those entitled to bring claims. In B.C., however, Ànancially independent adult children, even if they are self-supporting and have not had contact with the deceased for many years, may successfully bring a claim. WVA issues arise in many circumstances, including when a person wishes to: make limited provision for their spouse or child in their Will, treat their children unequally, or make substantial gifts to charities or persons not in their immediate family. “Blended family” scenarios involving individuals in a second or third marriage and/or with children from previous marriages, are also fraught with the risk of potential WVA litigation. As the Ànancial and emotional cost of subjecting your estate to a WVA action can be substantial, many people wish to take steps to ensure that their Wills are not contested. If you wish to disinherit or partially disinherit a spouse or child, there are a number of things you can do to minimize the chances of a lawsuit down the road. An experienced estate lawyer can help you structure your affairs so as to best ensure that your wishes are effectively carried out.

Heed stepped down as public safety minister Friday, after he was informed by an RCMP officer that he was part of a police investigation into Elections Act violations during the May 2009 election campaign.

A new plan that would allow Metro Vancouver to incinerate more garbage will go to public hearings despite fierce opposition from recycling advocates and Fraser Valley residents. Metro’s board voted Friday to advance the region’s draft solid waste management plan after hearing last-ditch pleas from opponents and rejecting a series of amendments proposed by Vancouver councillors. The document, if ultimately approved, sets waste-to-energy incineration within the region as the preferred way to dispose of up to 500,000 tonnes of garbage per year that can’t otherwise be reduced, recycled or composted. If the province blocks a new incinerator in Metro Vancouver – which has stoked fears of worsened air pollution – then the plan calls for using an out-of-region incinerator, such as one proposed at a former pulp mill on Vancouver Island. If both incineration scenarios are blocked, landfills would be used. The decision sends the draft plan to a 60-day period of public consultations, starting April 28 in Abbotsford. “If we do it right, we will in fact be reducing pollution from what it is today,” said Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt, one of the directors who voted in favour of the plan. Metro claims net air emissions will be the same or better if more garbage is incinerated – because heat captured would be piped to nearby buildings, offsetting the burning of other fuel. The plan to use waste to gener-

Metro Vancouver’s existing waste-to-energy plant in Burnaby could get a twin if the region’s proposed plan is approved. ate both electricity and steam for district heating is also central to Metro’s calculations that building its own in-region incinerator would be by far the cheapest solution for taxpayers, turning a small annual profit from the energy revenues. Shipping waste away, in contrast, would cost the region $43 million a year or $1.5 billion over 35 years, Metro estimates. Opponents say the board has misjudged the public and the science. “This plan is going to raise a storm in your communities,” warned Helen Spiegelman, of Zero Waste Vancouver. She accused Metro of rushing out a bad plan that’s not adequately backed by research on low-waste options or good enough data on the existing waste stream. Abbotsford resident John Vissers urged the board to commit to a zero waste plan and remove waste incineration as an option. “We’re convinced it will negatively affect our air quality, our health and our agricultural pro-

duction,” he said. Metro’s plan would commit the region to recycle 70 per cent of the waste stream, up from 55 per cent now. Administrators call it an aggressive target that will be challenging to reach, counting on the capture for composting of food waste and other organics that now get dumped. But critics said it doesn’t go far enough, particularly since the City of Vancouver has now set an 80 per cent goal for itself. Some also say a proportional target like 70 or 80 per cent doesn’t put a firm enough lid on garbage needing disposal because the total waste volumes are predicted to keep rising as the Lower Mainland’s population grows. As a result, Vancouver directors pressed the board to set a more specific target to reduce the waste generated per resident from 1.6 tonnes per year now to 1.1 tonnes by 2015.

Eagle Transforming: The Prints of Robert Davidson will be held at Surrey Art Gallery, 13750 88 Ave., April 17 to June 21. The show surveys the extraordinary graphic work of one of the most critical figures in Northwest Coast printmaking, who helped pioneer this form of expression amongst First Nations artists. A member of the Order of B.C. and Order of Canada, Davidson was honoured with the 2010 Governor General’s award for artistic achievement in the visual and media arts. In his graphic work, Davidson uses established Haida iconography, and his art speaks to present-day personal, social and political realities. Eagle Transforming is the first exhibition to review the artist’s work as a printmaker in almost 30 years, and features some 40 works selected from the holdings of the Vancouver Art Gallery and supplemented with generous loans from the artist. The exhibition has been curated by Ian Thom, senior curator-historical at Vancouver Art Gallery. Admission is by donation. Opening reception is Saturday, April 17 from 2 to 4 p.m. Admission is free and refreshments will be provided.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

National team rolls into town With an eye towards the Paralympic World Cup, scheduled for May 27-30 in Manchester, England, Canada’s national men’s wheelchair basketball spent five days training on the Peninsula last week. The team – which boasts two B.C. residents, Wonowon’s Bo Hedges and Vancouver’s Richard Peter, on its roster –

spent Thursday afternoon training at the South Surrey Recreation Centre, followed by an exhibition scrimmage. Last month, the team spent a week tuning up its game at the University of Illinois. For video of the scrimmage, visit www. peacearchnews.com

Errors hurt White Rock in Victoria doubleheader

Tritons open season with pair of losses Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Prior to the first pitch of the B.C. Premier Baseball League season being thrown, White Rock Tritons coach Brent Swanson predicted a steep learning curve for his young team. If last weekend is an indication, the coach knows of what he speaks. The Tritons, one of the most inexperienced teams on the PBL circuit this season, dropped its first two games of the season Saturday on Vancouver Island, losing 6-5 and 14-1 to the Victoria Mariners. “It’s like I said, we’re going to take our lumps this season,” Swanson said. “But it’s definitely not for a lack of effort. The guys are playing hard.” Saturday’s opening game – the first of the season for both teams – was not a classic by any stretch

Sharon Tiffin photo

Victoria’s Cole Holt pitches against White Rock Sunday. of the imagination, as both squads looked to shake off some off-season rust. The teams combined for 10 errors in the game, six by White Rock and four by Victoria. “That first game definitely wasn’t too clean – there was almost as

many errors as there were hits,” Swanson said. Both teams got off to good starts at the plate, and White Rock actually led 4-3 after two innings, but Victoria scored two in the bottom of the fifth inning – answering a run scored by the Tritons in the top half of the inning, when Brandon Sonnenberg crossed the plate – and tacked on the go-ahead run in the seventh inning to earn the win. White Rock relief pitcher Sam Whittaker was tagged with the loss. He pitched the sixth and seventh frames, relieving starter Jeff Degano, who lasted four-and-twothirds, striking out a pair of Mariners. Offensively for the Tritons, shortstop and lead-off hitter Josh Sigurdson had two hits and three stolen bases, while second baseman Josh Larsen also had a hit, run and

RBI. “Jeff Degano pitched well for us, I thought,” Swanson said. “And Josh Larsen was good at the plate, too.” The second game, which lasted only five innings before the mercy rule was invoked, was not nearly as close, and errors were largely to blame. White Rock made nine miscues in the field, which led to a pair of big innings from the hometown Mariners. Victoria scored six runs in the third inning and added five more in the fourth. Swanson chalked up most of the errors to his squad’s inexperience in handling adverse situations. “We’re just young, and when young guys make mistakes, sometimes they get rattled, and one error turns into another, and that’s what you get,” he said. “After a young guy makes a mistake, it’s easy to get scared and not

want the ball to be hit at you again, and it’s tough to play well scared. “But it’s a teaching year, and it was at least good to get out there on the field against another team (after weeks of practice).” Degano, who was the designated hitter in the second game, had a double, while Larsen had two RBI and Sean McGuire, who pitched and played first base, added one run batted in, too. The Tritons’ next chance to get into the win column comes Saturday, when they host the first-year Victoria Eagles, who are 1-1 after the season’s opening week. “They’re a new team and I think it’d be a good chance for us to maybe get (a win). We really have to take advantage of every opportunity we get,” Swanson said. “Who knows exactly what those guys are like, but hopefully we can get ‘em.”

After a tough loss two weeks ago to Capilano, the Bayside Sharks used the Easter weekend break to recharge, and the rest clearly did them good, as they ran roughshod over an undermanned UBC Thunderbirds team, 55-5, in CDI Premier Rugby League action on Saturday. The win gave the Sharks a 5-4 record and sole possession of fifth place in the premier standings, but they’re still only a few points clear of the sixth and seventh place teams with two games remaining. The top six make the post-season. “If we’d have lost, it would’ve meant our season was basically over,” said head coach Dave Benoit, whose team’s remaining games are against firstplace Meralomas and Cowichan. “There’s three teams fighting for the last two playoff spots, and (a loss) would’ve meant we’d need to win both our last games.” Saturday’s game was never in doubt, as the Sharks scored four tries in the first half – from Tony LaCarte, Isimeli Sigarua, Shawn Pittman and Cass Conkin – and led 22-0 at the break. In the second half, Sigarua added two more tries to give him four on the day, while Matt Miles added two and Mark Irvine added one. Despite the lopsided score, Benoit was quick to give credit to UBC, whose already young, college-aged

The White Rock Jr. Tritons opened their B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League season by splitting a two-game series with the Victoria Jr. Mariners Sunday afternoon at Victoria’s Henderson Park. In Game 1, the Tritons rode a big second-inning to a 9-8 win, but couldn’t carry the momentum into the second tilt, losing 11-1. In the opener, White Rock’s big second inning was keyed by a two-out RBI single from Spencer Dolphin, and the floodgates opened from there, with the Jr. Tritons scoring six more runs before Victoria could get the final out. “The bats woke up in the second,” said coach Russ Smithson. Nathan Trueblood started the game for White Rock and was credited with the win after lasting two-andone-third innings. Adam Shumka pitched a scoreless seventh, striking out two, to pick up the save. Tony Tabor had two hits for White Rock, while Jackson Temple reached base three times on walks. Defensively, left-fielder Mitch Gerhardt made a pair of highlight reelworthy efforts, once throwing a runner out at the plate and, on another occasion, making a diving catch to preserve the slim lead. In the second contest, Shaylen Buis was on the hill for the Jr. Tritons, lasting three innings. “He did his best to keep (us) in the game until the defence fell apart,” said Smithson. Victoria was up 5-1 before scoring five runs in the fifth inning, at which point the mercyrule ended the game. Evan Cornfield and Tanner Sandstrom also pitched in relief for the visiting Peninsula team. Tabor was one of the Tritons’ bright spots offensively, going 2-for-2 with a pair of singles.

now, but they’re a solid program.” Bayside wasn’t without its injury troubles, either; the team played without Pack, Brodie Henderson and Taylor Stogryn, who is out with an

ankle injury. The Sharks now set their sights on a road matchup Saturday with first-place Meralomas, who sport an 8-1 record and are defending B.C. champs. “They’re a great team and they’ve got a great forward pack,” said Benoit. “We’ll be playing on their small home field, too, so it’ll be tough. But if we don’t beat them, then we don’t control our own destiny (with regard to earning a playoff berth). “It’s going to take 80 minutes of hard rugby to beat them.” The Sharks’ first division team also defeated UBC Saturday, 45-17, led by Spencer Thorpe’s three tries. Bayside’s Mike Pinfield also had a strong game with two tries and five conversions. Soko Kacj and Levi Hansen also scored tries for the Sharks. In second division action, the Sharks beat up on another college squad, this time Simon Fraser University, 24-10. Dan Dixon had two tries and one convert, while Bo Clarke and Joshua Kacj had one apiece. Mike Hill rounded out the scoring with a convert on Dixon’s first score.

Cup. Peace Arch’s premier men’s soccer team was led by co-captain John Collins, who scored a pair of goals. Ryan Horvath – the hero of the Pakenham Cup with a three-goal effort – continued his hot streak with another marker Friday.

OBITUARIES DEMPSEY, Ronald A. Oct 24, 1944 - April 9, 2010

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of husband, father, grandfather and dear friend Ronald A. Dempsey at the Royal Columbian Hospital on Friday, April 9th, 2010 at the age of 65. In his early years Ron was a member of the Royal Canadian Navy and it was from this experience he found his greatest joy - travelling - be it by car, boat or RV. His number one passion when not behind the wheel of a vehicle was spending time with his much beloved grandchildren. Ron’s entire career was spent in the elevator industry and he was a member of the IUEC. He moved from Ontario to B.C. in 1990 and was manager of an elevator company until his disability in 1995. There are still stories floating around the industry about the “infamous RAD man”. Ron was born on October 24th, 1944 in Hamilton, Ontario to Mable Buckingham and George Dempsey (both predeceased). He is survived by his sister Elaine (Bill) and brothers Bruce (Nancy) Brian (Dana) Wayne (Margaret) Barry (Penny) only son Ronald R. Dempsey (Lisa) and special step-daughter Leah Summerhayes, Leanne Withyman (Rob) grandchildren Nolan and Nicole Dempsey, Teaghan and Skyler Summerhayes, Kiatlynn, Jaidyn and Kyle Withyman, his first wife Diane Arpin, best friend and partner Brenda Summerhayes and numerous nieces and nephews. During his last weeks Ron was tenderly cared for by the doctors and nurses at RCH in New Westminister. The family would very much like to express their deep appreciation to Dr Rupka and Dr Shukin who allowed Ron the opportunity to enjoy the past 15 years. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. A celebration of Ron’s life will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 17th, 2010 at Victory Park Chapel, 1483128 Avenue in South Surrey.

2010 Honda Cruiser Lineup Changes By Rob Beintema Metroland Newspapers Carguide Magazine

SAVANNAH, GA. – A twist of the grip, a bla-a-t of engine, and I am off, flitting past palmettos with sunshine stabbing through the draping Spanish moss that beards the trees. And it is hard to believe that it’s been almost six months since I last slipped into the saddle. There are no bad reasons for escaping the last cold Canadian doldrums of winter, but on March 8, Honda Canada provided motorcycle journalists with about a dozen very good reasons to jumpstart spring with the southern launch of an invigorated 2010 motorcycle lineup. Actually, according to Honda, that number of reasons is closer to 16, when you tally up the brand new or substantially changed models for the 2010 season. It’s been a rough year for the motorcycle biz, impacted by the same across-the-board recessionary damage common to all industries. The steady progression of yearly sales increases was chopped at the knees in 2009 with a sharp decline that slammed sales numbers back to 2001 averages. And Honda admits that their decline has been steeper than the industry average, citing their Powerhouse dealer changeovers, a sportbike stable that has been too limited in scope and a cruiser lineup that has grown a little long in the tooth. Which explains why they have made such an aggressive shift of product, working to build one of the youngest lineups in the business. A good part of Honda’s effort has been focused on revitalizing the 1300cc cruiser lineup. Although, I have to admit, the old VTX1300 was always a favourite of mine. Its single-pin crankshaft V-Twin rumbled with that classic “potato-potato” burble and, while it didn’t have the chuffing, train-like overkill of its bigger brother VTX1800. It had more than enough moxie to get up to speed, benefiting from its somewhat nimbler weight and dimensions, and easier to afford with its simple carbureted engine setup. The lineup evolved over the years but most changes only touched on style, not substance. The brand new VT1300 lineup for 2010 holds onto the good mechanical bits – same 1312cc engine, same brakes and transmission – but adds modern fuel injection, a stretched wheelbase, lowered seat heights

and a radical shift in design. The VT1300 lineup comes in a four-model selection that includes the Fury, Sabre, Stateline and Interstate. The first salvo of the lineup, the 2010 Fury, rocked the cycle world when it debuted to rave reviews last year as an unexpected “factory custom” with garish design lines and in-your-face chopper attitude. It’s tempting to think that the success of the Fury spurred the design of its stable mates but they were actually always part of the plan, sharing the common custom-styled shape and layout, but debuting later. The Sabre, the new entry to the lineup keeps the minimalist fenders and big 21-inch front wheel but downplays the other extremes of the Fury with a stylized curve to a shorter frame downtube and handlebars that are lowered to an easier reach. By pulling the seat, pegs and handlebars together, sort of the three points of the “ergonomic triangle”, the Sabre softens the radical edges of design, which, along with the thicker seat padding makes this bike a little easier to live with. Flick back and forth between pictures of the Fury and Sabre and you will notice that evolution of style to a less esoteric, still dramatic but more functional form. This was probably my favourite of the four, a nice combination of street presence and usability. Not that there’s that much difference between them. All four models handle well; turn in nicely, albeit with a longer wheelbase and turning circle and they all blast forth with a nicely modulated exhaust note that is just sharp and aggressive enough to encourage twisting the throttle. The Stateline shifts the design a little further to the right with a retro focus, featuring a more solid profile, chubbier tires and blockier fenders mounted in back with a vertical, VTX-style taillight. The Interstate model is really just a touring version of the Stateline, adding a windshield, floorboards, fork covers, heel-toe shifter and leather-wrapped hard saddlebags with hidden latches. Honda boasts this as a “Cross the country’ bike but the stylish seat might still be a little too firm and hard-edged for some. As part of Honda Canada’s emphasis on gradually applying the ABS linked-brake system to all products, they are only importing ABS versions of the Sabre and Stateline. ABS is an option with the Fury but is strangely not available with the Interstate touring package (a hangover of American hard-headedness). And, touching briefly on the 750cc segment that recently updated the Aero (classic-style) and Spirit (custom chopper-style) motorcycles, Honda has

Recently launched to Canadian press in Savannah, Georgia, the 2010 Honda VT1300CSA Sable, one of four new 1312cc cruisers featuring new styling, linked-brake ABS and priced at $13,399. Photo by Bill Petro. One of the latest additions to Honda’s 750cc stable, the 2010 VT750C Phantom, a classic "bobber" in trendy blacked-out style, contrasting its dark monochrome tone with the minimum of brushed aluminum highlights. The Phantom lists for $9,099. Photo by Bill Petro. introduced two new models that should create a stir in this entry-level class. The new VT750C Phantom captures the classic "bobber" look in trendy blacked-out style, contrasting its dark monochrome tone with the minimum of brushed aluminum highlights. This is motorcycling in its most basic form, raw and uncluttered, but with enough fuelinjected torque from its 745 cc V-twin engine. And, sure to be a hit with the retro crowd, the 2010 Honda Shadow RS, more of a standard bike than a laid-back cruiser really, also available only in a dark monotone shade of Heavy Grey Metallic, adding classic chrome details, from gleaming spoke wheels to handsome, throw-back twin mufﬂers.
