OCP amendment sparks debate at public hearing

Residents divided over 12-storey cap Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

It was a full house in White Rock council chambers Monday. More than two dozen attended a public hearing for an Official Community Plan amendment proposing a height and density cap of 12-storeys and 2.75-floor-area-ratio on development in the town centre. While the majority of speakers supported

the reduction from 21 storeys and 3.8 FAR, around six voiced opposition, including former city manager Wayne Baldwin. “The last thing I thought I’d ever be doing when I retired in 2006 is appearing before council, at a public meeting no less,” Baldwin said. “At this point, I am concerned. I’m concerned that council’s about to win a political battle over building heights and, in doing so, lose the war for economic improvement.

“If the bylaw passes... council may have effectively killed any hope of redevelopment in the town centre.” Baldwin said that without sufficient allowable density, there won’t be redevelopment. “My suggestion to council is this: limit height to 12 storeys if you feel you must. Go ahead. But be more pragmatic and openminded about the density. I do not know how the figure of 2.75 was derived, but to my

knowledge, it was not based on any rational economic analysis.” Another high-profile resident, Jean Kromm, spoke in favour of the changes. Increasing height and density of buildings will only increase the cost of living in White Rock, said Kromm, founder of Citizens for Positive Renewal, which endorsed Couns.

Adera Angelucci nears finish line.

Path to the Olympics Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

For the last 103 days, Adera Angelucci has been on her feet. Sometimes dancing, sometimes walking, and occasionally standing and banging a drum, but on her feet nonetheless. Such an effort comes with the territory of being part of Coca-Cola’s Open Happiness team – a group of about 60 who have travelled coast to coast with the 2010 Olympic Torch Relay, promoting the Games. “We’re the party-starters,” said Angelucci, a White Rock native who graduated from Earl Marriott Secondary in 1999. “We have two trucks and during the relay we stay about five minutes ahead of the relay, and get people pumped up for when the torch comes.” Angelucci has been with the torch for the entirety of the relay, which has lasted three months and is the longest in Olympic history. She applied for the position while living in Ireland – where she worked as a travel advisor – and said the temporary gig has been the most rewarding job she’s held. “It’s been absolutely amazing.

Thousands show for passing of the torch Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The Olympic spirit was alive and well on the Semiahmoo Peninsula Tuesday, as thousands braved the early-morning chill to catch the excitement of the Olympic Torch Relay. With three days to go before the 2010 Games begin, a sea of red-dressed souls, young and old, lined the streets from South Point Exchange to Marine Drive and over to Peace Arch Park to cheer on the flame. “It was cold, but really cool,” said Samara Bouchey, who sang with the White Rock Children’s Choir at the Peace Arch border crossing. “You’re kind of a part of the Games.”

The early-hour arrival – the torch left South Point at 6:12 a.m. – did little to quell anticipation, as parents hoisted youngsters for a better view, huge Canadian flags were waved and

crowds broke into bursts of O Canada. On Marine Drive, spectators jostled for the best view. The excitement crescendoed at the torch’s final local stop, Peace Arch Park, where B.C., Washington and First Nations dignitaries gathered to celebrate the torch’s only crossborder venture. Semiahmoo First Nation torchbearer Rayne Williams passed the flame to U.S. torchbearer and former Olympian Phil Mahre, who brought the flame through the Peace Arch from the U.S. side to light the cauldron in Canada. Williams, 14, described the opportunity to carry the torch as “a great honour.” see more photos page 11

news Shoppers Drug Mart may move, says councillor

Councillor fears loss of pharmacy in city Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Major renovations to Semiahmoo Shopping Centre have some in neighboring White Rock – including Coun. Grant Meyer – nervous about the future of retail business in their city. Meyer told fellow council members last week he is especially concerned about rumours that Shoppers Drug Mart may move from White Rock across 16 Avenue to to occupy a planned free-standing building, and that a full-service liquor store that is also part of Bosa Development Corporation’s plan will preclude such a facility ever returning to White Rock. Attempts by Peace Arch News to reach local Shoppers Drug Mart owner-pharmacist Billy

Wong for comment were unsuccessful. Meyer, during debate on hiring an economic development officer for the city during last week’s finance and audit committee meeting, said he had heard a planned drugstore space at the South Surrey shopping centre might be the site for a relocation of the Shoppers Drug Mart franchise, currently located at White Rock’s Central Plaza. But Mayor Catherine Ferguson, whose motion to hire a part-time economic development officer was voted down (see page 2), said after the meeting that the city had received no indication from Shoppers that such a relocation was planned. The Semiahmoo renovations include expansion of buildings at the corner of 16 Avenue and 152 Street to create a 7,200 sq. ft.

Renovations are planned for Semi centre. full-service government liquor store outlet (replacing a temporary one). Meyer told Peace Arch News the enlarged government liquor store means the local outlet, which moved from White Rock’s

Hilltop Plaza in anticipation of Miramar Village’s second phase, will never return to the city. “I’m really worried about what is happening to the city,” Meyer said. Plans to revitalize the South Surrey landmark – both inside and out – are due to be complete by the end of this year. The first stage of the more than $7-million project – renovation of the interior common areas – should be underway within a month. The second phase, scheduled to start by the end of April, will include the demolition of four existing one-storey buildings along the property’s 16 Avenue perimeter to create a single 18,500 sq. ft. free-standing building earmarked as the location for an as-yet unannounced drugstore chain.

Seven rescued from child porn Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Seven children have been rescued from a sexual exploitation ring, and a Surrey man has been arrested and faces multiple pornography-related charges. The 36-year-old man was arrested on an outstanding warrant Thursday afternoon at the Surrey RCMP detachment after the Crown prosecutor’s office approved charges. The accused man appeared in Surrey Provincial Court on Friday. He is charged with 10 pornography-related offences, including two counts of sexual assault, three counts of inviting sexual touching from an person under 16, two counts of committing sexual offences while being a person of trust or a person with authority over the victims, one count of possessing child pornography, namely videos and digital photos, one count of selling child pornography and one count of making child pornography. The man cannot be named by court order because that could identify his victims. He has been ordered held in custody until his next court appearance, a bail hearing, which was scheduled for today (Feb. 10). The police investigation began Jan. 22, when RCMP received information from an international source claiming that the accused, and others around the world, were exchanging pornographic images and videos of children being abused by people known to them. The same day as the tip, police executed a search warrant at the Surrey residence which led to the seizure of electronic devices that provided evidence to support the charges. The investigation led to the rescue of six local children and one child residing in Ontario. The children were between five and 11 years old. RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Annie Linteau said there are a number of investigations worldwide as a result of the Surrey case which could lead to further arrests and charges. “The investigation highlights the efforts underway to detect, deter and prosecute those using the Internet to victimize children.”

White Rock Pier’s new archway is in place, and donors Dick and Jane Butler couldn’t be happier.

Couple donates arch

A welcome on the water Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The arch is up. Workers completed installation of a decorative archway at the foot of White Rock Pier Thursday. It’s an addition both the donors and city officials anticipate will raise the city’s profile. “When we put the structure up, as soon as we got it up, people were standing there taking pictures underneath,” said Dick Butler, whose family gifted the arch to the city. “Getting a picture of the pier is nice, but the people back home never really know where that is. (Now), they’ll know where it is, because it’s got the name under there.” The arch donation was accepted by city council in February 2007. The Butlers, who have lived in White Rock since 1980, footed the cost; their son Tim’s company organized the design, engineering and manufacture of the structure; and Surreybased Cobra Electric donated time and resources to install it. Butler estimated the total value of the project,

including the in-kind work, at $35,000. In addition to helping the city’s landmark stand out, the arch adorns what was a favourite hangout of the Butlers’ other son, Jeff, who suffered a fatal injury during a hockey game in 1985. Jeff spent many summers jumping off the pier, Butler said. “Every time we go down the (pier), we think of Jeff. We thought what could we do to make it nicer. It was a labour of love more than anything else.” The archway is made of metal, supported by two posts incorporating decorative lamps and adorned with ‘White Rock B.C. Canada.’ Mayor Catherine Ferguson described it as a “great addition to the waterfront... a recognition of what a great place we live.” “They have given the city and residents a gift that will (last) through history,” she said. Leisure services director Rita Clarkson said last year the arch would contribute to the revitalization of the waterfront, help promote White Rock as a tourist destination and be a commemorative legacy for the city.

news No early-morning shuttle connection for Olympic ticket-holders

Guests face transit dilemma Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

A White Rock bed and breakfast owner has had to advise her Olympic guests – holders of a dozen Games tickets – to rent a car for their 14-day stay, after discovering there are no local buses that connect with the shuttles taking spectators to earlymorning mountain events. Helen Hesp said the French couple staying at her Columbia Avenue home during the Olympics have seven tickets for Whistler events, and others for sports on Cypress. While they will get to event sites by shuttle buses that depart from hubs such as BCIT, Langara College and Simon Fraser University – a service of the Olympic Bus Network – in some cases, White Rock buses don’t leave early enough to reach those shuttles on time. Feb. 12 is the first instance the visitors would have run into the dilemma. With tickets to ski jumping in Whistler at 9:45 a.m., they have been advised to be at BCIT in Burnaby by 4:45 a.m., half an hour before their shuttle bus departs for the mountain. However, the first bus that leaves South Surrey Park and Ride – the 351 – is at 4:37 a.m. That would give the couple eight minutes to reach BCIT – an impossible task considering the

Brian Giebelhaus photo

Helen Hesp is concerned buses aren’t running early enough to get Olympic spectators from the Peninsula to Vancouver on time. 351 doesn’t travel directly to the hub. Because 351, 352 and 354 buses transfer at Bridgeport Station, Hesp said the guests would have to connect with other buses to reach their final destination. “I just assumed that (TransLink) was going to have roundthe-clock buses to get people to events.” TransLink spokesperson Drew Snider told Peace Arch News bus demand during the Olympics will be highest in the day and evening, when extra buses have

been designated to run. “We put our resources into middays and late-nights to make sure people get to the majority of the events.” Snider said those unable to use transit should consider carpooling, taking a cab or driving. He noted parking at hubs is complimentary to Olympic Bus Network pass holders, such as Hesp’s guests. Renting a car and taking taxis will be expensive for the couple, who are eligible for free transit use the days of their events. She said she explored rideshare.com – a public van-pooling service funded by TransLink and BC Transit – but was discouraged by all the terms and conditions. While researching transportation options, she said she considered driving the guests herself or connecting with others in the area who are facing the same problem and who want to coordinate private carpooling. “It would be great if I could get together with someone to carpool people to these events,” she said. “My thought was when these people come, I want to make sure everything is good for them. You kind of represent not only your community, but Canada. You feel a sense of responsibility.” Hesp said she called the couple and advised they rent a car, which they have agreed to do.

editorial

Canadian pride shines as bright as Olympic flame hey came, they cheered, they waved... and then they were gone. The Olympic torch relay wound its way through South Surrey and White Rock early Tuesday, and thousands of people lined the streets – from South Point to uptown White Rock to Marine Drive – and welcomed the flame to town. They came wearing red and white, armed with Canadian flags, red balloons and plenty of passion. The revelers began arriving on Marine Drive at 6 a.m. – nearly an hour before the torch was scheduled to arrive – and they waved and danced and cheered. Cars honked. Olympic volunteers stood atop slow-moving, well-lit corporately sponsored floats, and danced and cheered in advance of the flame’s arrival. In fact, not a frown could be found even among the passing motorists, many of whom were slowed to a crawl due to the large crowd, but were without exception still sporting smiles as they drove by. After months of anticipation, seeing the familiar white-suited, red-mittened torch bearer finally jog by seemed surreal. The group of strangers who had gathered along the sidelines, now united in a common cause, laughed and yelled and lifted their flags aloft as the torch bearer completed the 300-metre stretch. And when the torch stopped ever-so-briefly at the White Rock Museum and Archives, hundreds of spectators even broke into O Canada. For all the hum-bugging during the run-up to the Olympics, none was present here Tuesday, and the flame weaved its way through the Lower Mainland on its way to Vancouver. And then it was all over. The event had the feel of an Internetorganized flash mob. As quickly as they had mustered, the spectators dispersed, and within a few minutes, the sidewalks had cleared and the roads began to return to normal. Polite. Civilized. And bursting with national pride. How Canadian. How unapologetically, proudly Canadian.

148 responding and another $3 million a year, adjusted for inflation for as long as the W.A.C. Bennett Dam produces power. Speaking with local elders and Kwadacha historian Susan HatfieldMcCook, a picture emerges of the impact of the dam. Living on traplines with a scattering of remote cabins, some people found out about it only when they fled from the rising water. Others had their homes dragged to higher ground. People used to boating to Mackenzie on a familiar river tried the same thing on the huge new reservoir, and died. This wasn’t the first time aboriginal people were flooded out in B.C. The Kenney dam did the same thing in Cheslatta Carrier territory in 1952, when engineers on the Kemano project decided at the last moment to extend the reservoir to Cheslatta Lake. The Cheslatta people were given three weeks’ notice of eviction. Here at Tsay Keh Dene, scientists are studying ways to control the dust. Local residents will be contracted to do the work, and to clean up the masses of driftwood along the shore. Back in the city, debate continues over the impact of run-of-river power, wind generation and other ways to meet future power needs. Soon it will turn to the question of a third dam on the Peace. The lessons learned here will be important. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

System worked in the past Editor: Re: ‘I am really scared,’ Jan. 29. After reading about Lynda Simpson’s breast-cancer fiasco, I just had to respond. I’m a six-year breast cancer survivor who found my lump Oct. 28, 2003, followed by an appointment with my doctor, requesting a mammogram and ultrasound requisition Nov. 6 and subsequent doctor’s appointment Nov. 10, even though I had mammograms every two years. Peace Arch Hospital wasn’t going to do the ultrasound, but I said I wasn’t leaving without one. Halfway through my ultrasound, the gal called in the radiologist, who suggested taking two core biopsies for pathology. She also phoned my doctor to make an appointment with a surgeon. At my Nov. 10 doctor appointment, she informed me of the surgeon’s consultation Nov. 12. After consultation, I was given Nov. 14 for surgery, opting for a mastectomy. I didn’t need chemo or radiation, for which I am thankful, by being treated promptly. So you can feel my exasperation at reading the article about Lynda Simpson. We must be more proactive, pushing for additional provincial funding and hospital staff, which would save money on chemotherapy and radiation, in most cases. How could things have deteriorated to this level in six years? M. Driediger, Surrey

Accountability, too, must rise Editor: Re: Greed driving up housing costs, Feb. 3 editorial. The Feb. 3 editorial contained the line: “Local governments also have been raising property taxes by about five per cent annually, and show no sign of easing off on this annual increase, which is well above inflation and considerably more than many first-time home buyers can afford.” This prompted me to think about the current debates over TransLink trying to find ways to tax an additional $450 million per year from us – including considering an increase in the property tax – as well as over White Rock talking about contracting out services, and some beginning to talk about amalgamating with Surrey, etc. I wonder, with the massive increases in regional property values between 2002 and 2008 – which itself would bring in much more property tax revenue, as well as the annual increases in the property tax rate – when are we going to demand more accountability from municipal governments, as evidenced by dismal voter turnout rates in municipal elections, over what they

have done with these substantially increased revenues, and the continual demands for more? I don’t think this can be explained away by the modest decline in property values between 2008 and the present. The cost of policing, building roads, etc. simply cannot have risen as much in the past decade as these revenues have, but no one that I am aware of has been talking about this. Kevin Bredeman, White Rock

Watts’ move spurs comment Editor: Re: Watts quits transit post, Feb. 3. I believe Dianne Watts is one of the most conscientious mayors we have had to date. She is doing Surrey well by concentrating on the job at hand

A Fraser Institute report ranking elementaries is flawed, writes Peter Ferris.

Traits immeasurable Editor: Re: Grades rejected, Feb. 3. I spent my working life in education, mainly as a planner of post-secondary programs and as a consultant with provincial governments, First Nations and corporations. I state this so my comments on the Fraser Institute study that you published won’t be dismissed as an idle rant or the reaction of vested interest. I retired two years ago, but started work last September as a noon-hour supervisor at a local elementary school. This has been an immensely rewarding experience. I have been most impressed by the teachers who have displayed the two most important characteristics required by that profession: they clearly like children and they are excited by the process of children learning. The children range in age from five to 13. Taken as a whole, they are respectful, thoughtful, courteous, creative and eager to learn. They display amazing levels of social and emotional maturity. These behaviours reflect the ethos of the school which emphasizes self-respect and respect for others. Unfortunately, these qualities, which are vital for a civil society, are much more difficult to measure than math and reading skills assessed through standardized tests.

I have no doubt teachers would be capable of significantly improving standardized test results if they ruthlessly concentrated on doing so at the expense of other learning. However, to do so would be a perversion of education and would likely be counter-productive. Evidence indicates the main determinants of educational attainment are external to the classroom and are rooted in economic, social, family and health issues. The most effective means of education, especially at the elementary level, is, in fact, to develop a child’s self-respect and self-worth and his/her abilities to work co-operatively and constructively with others. This is a strong foundation for subsequent educational attainment, and encourages creativity, a spirit of enquiry and personal fulfillment. The Fraser Institute report recognizes none of this. Its definition of education is far too circumscribed, and I doubt it has much predictive value in terms of indicating how well children will subsequently perform at high school, university or in the world. The report on standardized-test results places unwarranted pressure on teachers and the system, and does a disservice to young students. Peter Ferris, Surrey

instead of dealing with a hopeless situation. Focusing her energy on the growing concerns of Surrey is very admirable, as it was also admirable to attempt to stretch herself to help rectify our transit situation, which in my opinion is a lost cause with the mentality that is in there right now. TransLink figures we the citizens are a constant target to get them out of jams and in the meantime keep lining TransLink’s pockets with larger budgets and incomes. Enough is enough. Time to put on your big-boy/girl pants and use your abilities that are supposed to exist if you are sitting in that seat and put a real plan in effect, instead of constantly looking outward for answers. Other cities have done it without gouging their citizens further, but maybe they had more experienced people in their think tanks. Do what you are supposed to do. Use your heads instead of our depleted pocketbooks. Patricia Seggie, Surrey Q So, Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts is a quitter. I think one of the reasons is simply that, being a Liberal herself she didn’t want to challenge the Liberal government in Victoria. Another reason is likely that this will allow her more time to work on becoming the leader of that Liberal party. Frank Howard, Surrey

Everyone matters Editor: This letter has two purposes. The first is to thank the volunteers at the Surrey SPCA. These people help animals week after week, year after year. They walk dogs, clean cat cages and help animals through the most difficult time of their lives. The volunteers have more courage and strength than many of us. Not only do they see the results of abuse, they often see the same animal for many weeks, sometimes months. Each animal is waiting for a home. Some never find one. This is the reality of a sad situation in our society. So thank you, to those of your who do the work that many of us cannot face. Secondly, for at least 10 years the Surrey SPCA has been promised a new shelter. The current one is shameful. I have been told by various Surrey mayors and agencies there is a plan for a new shelter. I have contacted Mayor Dianne Watts as to when the plan would be activated. Sadly, she did not commit to a date. Surely it is time to make the Surrey SPCA shelter a place to be proud of. As visitors arrive for the Olympics, I wonder what they would think of our outdated, rundown, cold animal shelter. I ask the officials who are responsible for getting this done to take up the torch for both people and animals. Everyone matters! Kris Hans, Surrey

Unfinished curb no danger: city Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

While an unfinished curb on 32 Avenue near the Morgan Creek Golf Course has one area resident worried about traffic safety, Surrey’s design and construction manager says there is no cause for concern. Work on a one-mile portion of 32 Avenue between 160 and 168 streets started last spring, with the north side of the road being widened to increase lane width and provide cycling room and an “on-street sidewalk” along the south side. However, a section of curb line on the north side of the road was left incomplete around a stand of trees. “Those trees act as a barrier for any potential errant golf balls coming off of the golf course and possibly striking vehicles,” the city’s Ken Zondervan said. “The golf course has planted replace-

They’ve made up their minds; they’ve made a decision without consulting the people who use the road.” Zondervan said the city and golf course explored the option of putting up a net, but the idea was ultimately abandoned. “We consulted with the Morgan Creek Homeowners’ Association and they were concerned about the esthetics of a net. They thought it would really detract from the neighbourhood.” The lane next to the unfinished curb is not a safety concern, he added. “It’s meaning a narrower shoulder area, it’s not meaning a narrow travelling lane or encroaching on bicycle travel space. We wouldn’t have left it this way if we didn’t think it was safe.”

craft was reported stolen from a property near 16 Avenue and 168 Street Jan. 30. It’s believed the actual theft occurred sometime between Jan. 26 and 30. A grey Shoreline recreational trailer was also stolen. Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 604-599-0502.

Thieves sought Police are investigating a possible connection between recent big-screen television thefts in South Surrey and Abbotsford. Const. Kenn Meglic said two males are sought in connection with the Jan. 23 shoplifting of a 52-inch television from the Wal-Mart Supercentre at 2355 160 St. The pair were seen leaving through the store’s emergency exit with the boxed Sony LCD at about 7:20 p.m. They loaded the TV into a waiting, older-model, two-door Mazda. Meglic said Abbotsford police recently arrested suspects who returned for a 52-inch television that had been stashed in some bushes. The incident happened prior to the Surrey theft, and “there might be a tie,” Meglic said.

perspectives …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Brian Giebelhaus photo

‘We’re a happy country’ from page 1 can’t even really put it into words,” she said. “Wherever we go, people are just so excited – kids’ faces just light up when we come through, banging our drums and waving to people. “I’ve seen that flame now every day for more than 100 days, and every time I see it, it still pulls at my heart strings.” It’s not always an easy job, however, she admitted. Typically, Team Happiness members are on duty for about 15 hours each day. On Monday, for example – when the torch started in Mission and ended in Surrey by way of Langley and Aldergrove – Angelluci was up at 4 a.m., and didn’t get back to the hotel until after 8 p.m. “It’s tiring sometimes, sure. We’ve travelled about 45,000 kilometres

and I bet I’ve probably walked 25,000 of those – my shoes have taken a beating,” she laughed. “But it’s the best job ever – a pretty amazing way to see the entire country.” While some team members will continue to work during the Olympic Games – at Coca-Cola’s party headquarters at Vancouver’s David Lam Park – Angelluci said she’ll spend most of her time relaxing and watching the events. “The minute the torch goes into B.C. Place (Friday), we’re done, and it won’t be about us anymore,” she said, adding that a private openingceremony viewing party has been organized for team members. And what has the Peninsula resident learned from her threemonth cross-country odyssey? “That we’re a very happy country,” she said.

Group eyes Honduras return One good turn deserves another. A trio of Peninsula eye-care specialists who shared their expertise in Honduras in December 2008 are returning to the poverty-stricken country to repeat the gesture. And this time, their team is bigger.

Butler noted the gift was announced – in 2008 and again this month – to media first, without consultation with maternity clinic staff. For it to continue, Latchinian or a store representative will have to connect with the clinic manager, she said. Lang said she plans to follow up with the hospital to get things back on track. The offer, she noted, is retroactive to Jan. 1, 2008. She noted anyone with unwanted gold that can be refined for use in making the rings is welcome to drop it off at the store, 1051688 152 St.

An effort launched two years ago to give families of newborns a keepsake they’ll treasure for life has a nice ring to it. Jose & Co. Custom Jewellers’ Jose Latchinian presented his 200th miniature signet ring to eightmonth-old Hannah Hecht last month. But confusion over just how long the offer was to last means hundreds of parents may not even know it still exists. Latchinian launched the tradition Jan. 1, 2008, to share a sentiment bestowed on him when he was born. The signet ring he received all those years ago is a reminder that his birth touched someone deeply, he said at the time. He vowed to offer one to every baby born at PAH from the launch “until I die.” Store manager Sherry Lang said last month that certificates – pink for girls, blue for boys – were to go in a welcome package given to new parents at the hospital. But only a fraction of the approximately 1,600 families who have welcomed a new life at Peace Arch Hospital since then have taken up the offer. Hospital staff said this

J. Dale Bradford Barrister & Solicitor REPRESENTATION AGREEMENTS REVISITED

hen the Representation Agreement Act came into force on February 28, 2000 there was a great deal of reluctance on the part of many lawyers to use the Representation Agreements which that legislation authorized. The feeling was that these new instruments were difficult to draft and execute, and would be far more costly than a Power of Attorney which is a short, simple and easily executed document. I admit that I was among that group of lawyers who were skeptical about the usefulness and practicality of Representation Agreements. In the seven years since they were first introduced to B.C. I have come to appreciate how useful and important Representation Agreements can be. Whereas a Power of Attorney authorizes the grantee to look after the grantor’s legal and financial affairs, a Representation Agreement can have the same application but can also authorize the representative to look after the grantor’s health and personal care needs. If you don’t think that’s important, wait until you have a sick parent, relative or friend who needs help not only with their legal and financial matters, but also with their health and personal care decisions. Without a representative to decide for them, an ailing or incompetent person’s course of medical treatment, prescriptions, nursing care, living accommodations, etc. fall to the Public Guardian and Trustee, or may become the subject of acrimonious contest between family members or friends who have divergent ideas about what is best for their ailing parent, relative or friend. Accordingly, I now recommend that anyone over 65 years of age or who has a life threatening illness should have a Power of Attorney which includes a backup attorney, a Health Care Directive (Living Will) and a Representation Agreement for health and personal care. For more information about Representation Agreements and other estate planning matters, call Dale Bradford at Bradford & Green 604-531-1041.

The problem in the U.S. – He quoted an expert who said namely the banking system – the private sector was unable has not been fixed, so watch to take up that slack in 2009 for further declines south of “and it’s not going to happen in the border, Levy warned. Kevin Diakiw Black Press

“They’ve bailed (banks) out, but they don’t hold them accountable.” He believes a “too big to fail mentality” will continue to haunt the U.S. banking system for some time. “Here in Canada, no such thing,” Levy said. “Our banks are held to be number one period in safety, number one period in investment, number one in return on investment worldwide.” While Canada is continuing to build good trade agreements with Asia, the U.S. financial pain will continue to hurt this country in manufacturing and export. The U.S. has a $1.6-trillion deficit projected for this year. “We are an accounting rounding error compared to what’s going on in the United States,” Levy said. Unemployment in the U.S. is skyrocketing, while Canada’s is holding steady at 8.5 per cent. “My forecast is we’re going to stay at 8.5 to 8.7 per cent,” Levy said. “We may have peaked out on our unemployment, they’re going to 11 per cent or more – they have structural problems

there that are going to take decades to fix.” Unlike years ago, Canada can now take comfort in the fact that it’s a resource-based economy. Oil prices will increase dramatically, and Canada is one of the richest oil countries in the world, Levy said. He also expects natural gas prices will double, leaving this province sitting on huge assets. Asked after his presentation if he had any advice for people during this time, Levy said his main recommendation would be to stay free of debt. Surrey Board of Trade CEO Anita Patil Huberman said Levy’s presentation was a good snapshot of the existing climate, but she was intrigued by some of his predictions. His notion that interest rates would remain low throughout the year is great news for the housing and commercial construction sectors, Huberman said. But she was worried about his prediction that the dollar would increase so much. “It’s going to affect the export markets,” Huberman said.

The Newest Technology in Hearing Aids... and a Guarantee to match. Black Press photo

Fraser Health CEO Dr. Nigel Murray (left) with chair Gordon Barefoot.

‘Core services’ undefined, fluctuates with funding

FHA cuts penny wise, dollar foolish: groups Jeff Nagel Black Press

Two agencies pleaded for clemency from Fraser Health’s budget axe last week, warning cuts to their grants will cost the health system far more in the long run. Fewer AIDS-prevention outreach workers will work with drug-addicted, mentally ill or homeless clients as a result of a nearly $100,000 funding cut for the Lower Mainland Purpose Society, which operates the Stride With Purpose program in the Tri Cities, Burnaby, New Westminster, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. “We stop the spread of HIV – we stop AIDS,” Purpose president David Patterson told Fraser Health directors at a Feb. 3 board meeting. Keeping just one of the program’s 165 clients from contracting HIV saves the health system $180,000 over that person’s lifetime, he said. “One person saved pays the cost of two years of this program,” he said. “It’s that clear.” Outreach workers provide a variety of assistance, including needle exchanges, to build trust and offer referrals to other programs. Success keeps clients out of court and hospital emergency rooms, Patterson said. FHA board chair Gordon Barefoot replied it’s clear the program has “tremendous value” but the more difficult question is how it should be funded. “I can’t promise anything,” he said. The board last year approved cuts to various grants and contracts to help chop Fraser Health costs by $160 million and balance its budget. The process has meant a hard look at partner agencies who don’t provide

core medical services, Barefoot said. The answers were much the same for defenders of the now-closed Chimo Achievement Centre, a therapeutic day centre in Coquitlam for adults with disabilities. Many former Chimo clients have nowhere else to go for treatment and face deteriorating health, the board was told. Chimo administrator Arlene Lewchuk-Hartley demanded to know how Fraser Health officials define core and non-core services. There is no precise definition of the line that separates the two categories and the flow of dollars, Barefoot replied. “Depending on your level of funding, that line will move over time,” he said. “When you have available funding, you might have the opportunity to add things to your core portfolio. And when you don’t have funding, you might have to take some things away.” During the closed-door part of the meeting, he said, the board directed staff to spell out those parameters more clearly. “It’s an evolving process,” he said, adding Fraser Health will re-evaluate what is core and what isn’t in budget deliberations this year. Chimo therapist Jo Anne Harrison said Fraser Health should redirect the $100,000 in bonus pay and expenses going to CEO Dr. Nigel Murray. Barefoot said it’s not a bonus, but a holdback of part of Murray’s pay, release of which is tied to his performance. “It’s better than just getting paid to show up,” he said.

Thief steals Haiti donation box Police are looking for a thief who made off with funds intended to help victims of the recent Haitian earthquake. The Jan. 29 theft took place just before 3 a.m. at the Grandview Corners Tim Hortons. Police say a Caucasian male entered and asked an employee to call him a taxi. While the employee complied, a witness saw the male take the charity box. “The witness went to get the com-

plainant, (but) by that time, the suspect was gone,” said Const. Kenn Meglic. It is estimated the box contained about $50 in donations. Members of South Surrey RCMP’s Neighbourhood Liaison Unit are investigating. The suspect is described as slim, in his 20s and with short black hair. Anyone with information may contact police at 604-599-0502.

news Vander Zalm confident campaign can have success

Carbon tax increase urged Petition to drive out Jeff Nagel Black Press

Motorists could pay 50 cents more in carbon tax on every litre of gas by the end of this decade if the Pembina Institute gets its way. The organization is recommending the provincial government steadily raise the carbon tax each year until 2020 to curb greenhouse gas emissions. The tax, now at 3.33 cents a litre on gas ($15 per tonne of carbon emitted), is scheduled to rise on July 1 to 4.45 cents and to 6.67 cents by the summer of 2012. But Pembina researchers argue that won’t be enough. They’re calling for a further carbon tax increase of $15 to $30 per tonne of carbon emissions every year from 2013 to 2020. That’s equivalent to adding about five to six cents more to the tax every year, pushing it above 50 cents by 2020. The move would send “an increased and longer-term price signal” that B.C. residents and businesses must cut emissions and that adoption of low-carbon technologies will save money, the institute argues. “National carbon prices need to reach $200 per tonne by 2020 for Canada to equitably contribute to a global effort to avert dangerous climate change.” Pembina also called on the province to broaden the tax to cover industrial processes that

The Pembina Institute is urging the provincial government to continue to increase the carbon tax every year until 2020. release greenhouse gases through the manufacture of aluminum or cement or by the natural gas sector. That would address concerns about fairness, the institute said. It also urges the B.C. government to expand low-income tax credits or emission reduction subsidies. And it says a portion of carbon tax revenue should be invested in infrastructure like public transit to help reduce emissions. “These recommendations are crucial if B.C. is to continue to advance its economically efficient and highly effective climate policies,” said SFU professor Mark Jaccard, who was a key government adviser in crafting

the carbon tax. Canadian Taxpayers Federation B.C. director Maureen Bader rejected the suggestion of further hikes. “It’s completely irresponsible to be discussing increasing this tax or applying it to more industries,” she said. “The carbon tax should be rescinded, certainly not increased. The best time to do that is now to help families during these difficult economic times.” Bader says the entire concept of climate change has been exposed as a “scam” by the “climategate” controversy over international scientists’ handling of warming data.

news Triangulation, GPS technology now in use

911 mobile call locations now more precise Jeff Nagel Black Press

Cellphone users here now have their locations more precisely plotted and transmitted to emergency responders when they dial 911. The second phase of enhanced 911 service has been undergoing testing for several months and was formally activated Feb. 1. Prior to this, the first phase of enhanced 911, launched in 2005, gave E-Comm 911 operators the caller’s phone number and the cellphone tower being used. That only narrowed down the location to an area four kilometres wide. The new improved service first checks to see if the phone is equipped with assisted GPS technology – if so, the caller’s location is plotted on a computer map to within 50 metres. For phones that aren’t GPS-equipped, the technology will triangulate the position based on cellphone towers. That should provide improved accuracy to around 300 metres in good conditions,

sports Finishing strong

The Semiahmoo Strikers lived up to their name Sunday in Langley, striking for a pair of goals to edge the Langley Thunder 2-0 in U13 gold girls action. After a slow, cautious start, the Strikers warmed up, and got on the board first when defender Naomi Unger’s corner kick found its way into the Langley net. Semiahmoo made it 2-0 when Sally Matthews scored a highlight-reel goal. Also playing well were Gretchen Kordas, Chelsea Ribeiro and Sarah Reny, while Lisa Tabor and Sydney Schindel also had strong games. Kate Connor was between the pipes for the Strikers, earning her 10th shutout of the season.

Erratic shooting and poor execution down the stretch led to an early exit for the White Rock Christian Academy Warriors last week at the Western Canada Invitational in Kelowna. WRCA – the No. 2 team in the B.C. senior boys triple-A basketball rankings – were among the heavy favourites heading into the tournament, but were stunned 66-58 in quarter-finals by the No. 7 Kitsilano Blue Demons Thursday.

Striking first

Poor shooting leads to early exit from Western Canada tournament

The Southridge Storm ended the senior boys basketball regular season in much the same way as they started it – with a victory. On Feb. 1, the Storm knocked off Burnsview Secondary 81-61, led by Matt Sinitsin’s 20-point, 10-rebound performance. The Storm finished the season with a 12-0 mark in league play. The home game was also Southridge’s senior night – the last chance for graduating players to play on their home court – and as such, head coach Steve Anderson started an all-Grade-12 lineup. Guard Jordan Yee had seven points and 12 assists, and Jacob Andreou chipped in with 13 points and seven boards. Others to hit the scoresheet were Zain Jessa (10 points), Jonathan Yu (nine points), Rider Laskin (eight points) and Jag Dhatt, who returned from injury to score nine points and pick up 11 rebounds. Next up are Fraser Valley Championships, which begin today (Wednesday) at Chilliwack’s G.W. Graham Middle School.

Then, with time ticking down in the third, a shot from Eagles forward Adam Basford skipped past Capitals goalie Laurent Brossoit and landed near the goal line, and Wallace – charging toward the crease – ended up knocking the puck in off his skate as he fell to the net. The referee ruled, however, that he had kicked the puck into the cage intentionally, thus nullifying the goal. The visitors completed the comeback when Mike Hammond scored 32 seconds into overtime. “I couldn’t believe it. There was no kicking motion at all. I didn’t even know where the puck was when it hit my foot,” Wallace said. The losses left the Eagles in fifth-place in the BC Hockey League’s Coastal Conference. Surrey returns to action Friday at 7 p.m. with a home tilt against the Chiefs, and then, on Valentine’s Day, hosts the Williams Lake Timberwolves. The puck drops at 4 p.m.
