Victim’s mother ‘quite shocked’ by judge’s decision
Failed breathalyzer evidence allowed Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
The judge in the case against a Delta woman accused of impaired driving in the death of four-year-old Alexa Middelaer has allowed breathalyzer evidence to be considered. The court also heard Monday from the mechanic who inspected Carol Berner’s car after the crash, and an undercover officer
who befriended the accused as part of the police investigation. Judge Peder Gulbransen agreed to admit the results of a roadside blood-alcohol screening device obtained from Berner in May 2008 at the scene of the roadside crash. Berner’s lawyer, David Tarnow, argued last week that Const. Sarah Swallow, the first officer at the scene, did not have “reasonable sus-
picion” to carry out a blood-alcohol breath test at the scene. Tarnow also noted Swallow arbitrarily detained Berner for half an hour in the back of a police vehicle without being advised of her right to retain counsel. Crown, however, said no detention occurred until Swallow formed a reasonable belief that Berner had alcohol in her body. In his ruling, released Monday, Gulbransen
said given that Berner told Swallow she had consumed alcohol prior to the accident, “it was certainly reasonable” for Swallow to suspect Berner had alcohol in her body. “That is,” he stated, “I find that a reasonable person placed in the position of the officer, knowing that the accused had admitted consuming two glasses of wine roughly three see page 2
HST resignation fallout
MLAs stand by their plan

In the aftermath of Friday morning’s resignation of provincial mining minister Blair Lekstrom over the harmonized sales tax (HST) issue, local Liberal MLAs say they are not about to follow suit. Gordon Hogg (Surrey-White Rock), Stephanie Cadieux (SurreyPanorama) and Minister of Health Kevin Falcon (Surrey-Cloverdale) have each confirmed they still back the controver❝The perception sial tax. that people had But Hogg – been lied to who held the has been a very Peace River MLA’s ministry difficult thing to mining portfoovercome.❞ lio until he was MLA Gordon Hogg dropped from (Surrey-White Rock) cabinet immediately following last year’s election – said he continues to have issues with the way the HST was introduced, even though he believes the new tax is a fait accompli that will serve the province well in the long run. Falcon – in an interview with the Surrey Leader newspaper (as of press deadline Tuesday, he did not return Peace Arch News’ repeated calls) – said the province has no ability to reverse the HST decision, pointing out that it is federal legislation. Falcon also denounced his gov see page 4

International event returns to Peace Arch
Two-year wait at border ends in show of hands After a two-year hiatus, Hands Across the Border returned to Peace Arch Park Sunday, drawing around 10,000 people from both sides. The event – which had been on hold due to construction at the Douglas crossing – attracted Scouts and Guides, who came from Canada and the United States to trade pins and badges. The opportunity was all the more meaningful as it was the 100th anniversary of the Girl Guides of Canada and Boy Scouts of America, said Sue Head of the International Peace Arch
Association, which organized the event. The day of festivities also featured a militaryservice ceremony, in which veterans Doreen Head, from Canada, and Bob Hines, from the U.S., laid wreaths at the Peace Arch. Participants in a 1 p.m. parade included representatives from Washington State Patrol, RCMP, Crescent Beach Pipe Band, American Legion, Royal Canadian Legion and Army, Navy and Air Force Association. A ceremony rededicating the Peace Arch was

news Residents divided on east-side redevelopment
City whittles down infill planning policy Alex Browne Staff Reporter
White Rock is looking at a block-by-block approach to a policy for phased redevelopment of large lots on the city’s east side. And at its June 14 meeting, council’s Land Use and Planning Committee endorsed a recommendation from city planning and development director Paul Stanton that the south side of Thrift Avenue be excluded from the redevelopment phasing plan. Stanton told the committee results of a questionnaire and a well-attended public
information meeting showed a majority of residents in favour of redevelopment and revitalization of the considered blocks. But the results also showed owner-residents on the south side of Thrift are split on the concept. “Staff believe including the south side of Thrift Avenue makes sense from a planning perspective,” Stanton said in his report. “But (we) also recognize it would not be appropriate to divide residents on this block.” He also noted that the public meeting – the second held on the phased redevelopment
plan – showed there were still significant concerns from residents living on the north side of Oxenham Avenue, whose properties back on to those on the south side of Thrift. Stanton said the clear outcome of the meeting and the questionnaire was there was varied support for different policies for each of the other blocks considered: Finlay Street between Russell and Thrift avenues; Finlay Street between North Bluff Road and Russell; the west side of Maple Street between North Bluff and Russell; the east side of Maple Street between North Bluff and Rus-
sell; and North Bluff between Lee and Kent streets. Suggestions for the blocks included smaller apartments – particularly along North Bluff – walk-up apartments and townhouses, he said. In response to questions from Couns. Lynne Sinclair and Doug McLean, Stanton confirmed further proposals for development in the blocks concerned would be subject to council’s approval process. Coun. Helen Fathers registered the sole dissenting vote against the plan.

Wounded soldier Dan Scott shares some of his stories from Afghanistan with students at H.T. Thrift Elementary last week.
Bombadier Dan Scott brought the reality of the war in Afghanistan into focus for a class of Grade 5 students at H.T. Thrift Elementary last week. Armed with photographs and stories from his two tours of duty, the soft-spoken Elgin Park Secondary alumnus answered questions and signed autographs during a June 7 visit to the South Surrey school. Scott, a reservist with the 15th Field Artillery Regiment in Vancouver, returned home to the Semiahmoo Peninsula in February, after suffering critical injuries during a training exercise near Kandahar. The 24-year-old was one of four soldiers wounded when a claymore mine malfunctioned. A fifth, Cpl. Joshua Caleb Baker, was killed. Scott became an unwitting poster boy for the Afghanistan effort after a photograph taken on the medical transport plane, depicting a U.S. Air Force criticalcare transport nurse comforting him, was seen around the world. After learning more about Scott, including through Peace Arch News coverage of his return home, the Grade 5 students composed letters to the 24-year-old, which were delivered to him in hospital. Sentiments ranged from “You’re my hero even though I don’t know you” to “Don’t stop believing in what is right” and “Don’t die because you have done many great things for our country.” During Scott’s visit, students took the opportunity to learn more about the life of a soldier. Their questions included: ‘why did you go?’ and ‘what is it like to hold a gun?’ – Tracy Holmes
Volunteer group aims to feature city landmarks on self-guided walking tours
Sandcastle revival predicted to attract thousands Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Plans to present the first White Rock Uptown Sandcastle Competition this July are proceeding apace, with organizers already booking group tours of the city. The event will, for the first time, bring White Rock’s “sandcastle capital” identity – which the society has sought to revive over the last three years, decades after the high-profile Canadian Open Sandcastle Competition was ruled unmanageable in the late 1980s – to the uptown area. On July 25, some 15 sandcastles are to be built in the back parking lot of the EPTA property (at Thrift Avenue and Johnston Road) in the wheelchair-accessible contest, which will feature prizes for the top teams. “We have 15 teams already reg-
istered and a waiting list of others,” said White Rock Sandcastle Society spokesperson Lisa Nolan, who noted one team consists of children in powered wheelchairs. Integral to the current plan is the promotion of a self-guided walking tour of the city for the seven days of the event, designed to attract visitors from other communities. Meanwhile, the City of White Rock is showing its support for the event by including it on the city website. That was council’s decision last week, after receiving a report from leisure-services director Rita Clarkson that underlined the city-promoting initiative – which will run from July 26 to Aug. 1 – is classed as a “community event” as opposed to a “city event.” That’s because the contest is organized by a non-profit organization, which will be undertaking

But the society is also offering group tours to seniors’ centres, retirement homes, assisted-living centres and seniors groups and any other organizations that would use the tour as an opportunity for a “day-cation” in White Rock. Attendance levels are estimated at 5,000 for the competition day, and 1,000-3,000 daily from July 26-31. Total attendance, depending on weather, is projected at up to 25,000 people over seven days – which Nolan said meets the objective of having a manageable event. Nolan noted sponsorship opportunities are still available. For more information, visit the website: www.wrsandcastle.com

Province introduces modular classrooms The days of kids going to school in Atco construction trailers appear to be gone, as B.C. prepares to expand its shrinking school system with the introduction of full-day kindergarten this fall. Premier Gordon Campbell and Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid unveiled the details of the kindergarten program Monday at A.J. McLellan
Elementary in Surrey. Plans include 133 modular classrooms that can be dismantled and moved from district to district as needed. Surrey is to receive 26 modulars at 20 schools, along with additions to support full-day kindergarten at six elementaries, including Cambridge (four), Chimney Hill (four), Hillcrest (four), A.J. McLellan (eight), T.E. Scott
(eight) and Hazelgrove (four). The first phase of the program will provide space for 40,000 students, about half of the five-yearold children in the province. The $144 million budget for this year includes a new school in Langley and additions to 21 schools in the Lower Mainland, Capital Regional District, Campbell River and Central Okanagan. – Tom Fletcher

Ikcc[h ia_bbi eh ikcc[h iY^eeb5 Your son comes home with a less than stellar report card. It’s no surprise to you because you’ve been on his case all year. He’s failed English and Social Studies, but he’s got an “A” in PE! Well, now your summer vacation plans have to be changed and he’s off to summer school. But is summer school really the best long-term solution for your child’s poor marks? “For many students, summer school can be a complete waste of time,” says Kathleen Casprowitz of Sylvan Learning. “The problem is that summer school is a repeat of the curriculum and often does not correct the real causes of poor school performance,” according to Casprowitz. Parents need to become educational detectives; they need to fully understand all the reasons their child has passed or failed a course. After 23 years in the business, Casprowitz maintains there is absolutely no reason for a student to fail English. “If a student has these three skills, they should be successful,” she asserts: • Reading Skills: A student needs to be able to “get the information in”. In other words, he or she needs to have good comprehension and vocabulary and the appropriate reading speed for the current grade.
Many students need individualized instruction to hone in on their particular weaknesses.
• Writing Skills: A student needs to be able to communicate well on paper. Your child is marked on what he or she produces, such as term papers, essays and lab reports. If these are poorly written, marks go down. • Study Skills: If things such as note-taking, outlining, listening skills, study strategies and time-management skills are weak, homework often isn’t done or it’s done poorly and the report card will reÁect this. “If your child failed because of weaknesses in one or more of the above skill areas, repeating the course has the obvious beneÀt of picking up a credit, but the underlying problem won’t go away. That means next summer, too, can be spent in the classroom!” A multifaceted approach may be a better strategy. Addressing reading, writing, or study-skills issues may better serve your child in the long run in addition to — or in lieu of — summer school. However, for most students needing extra help, more group instruction is often not the answer. Many students need individualized instruction to hone in on their particular weaknesses, not just more time in the classroom. So how do you Ànd out your child’s skill levels? The Sylvan Skills Assessment is one of the best ways to broaden your knowledge of your child’s skill levels and help you determine what is the best help for your son or daughter. Sylvan’s assessments are based on nationally recognized tests and are extremely thorough, covering all
the components that go into the particular skill area. Each Sylvan assessment, whether in reading, writing, math, or study skills takes approximately two hours each. A full written report is then prepared for the parents and the details are explained in a follow-up parent conference. If your child’s foundation skills are strong, then summer school is the right place for him or her. But if any of the three skill areas are weak, you may need to enroll your child in Sylvan this summer for better grades next fall. Sylvan Summer School BeneÀts • Sylvan starts with a diagnostic assessment to pinpoint your child’s strengths and weaknesses. • A customized program is designed just for your child, allowing us to focus on his/her problem areas. • Sylvan starts with a student’s current capabilities and from there builds the foundational skills needed to cope with the curriculum rather than only exposing them (again) to the same curriculum they couldn’t master in the Àrst place. • Our program provides for in-depth learning and mastery of material before a student moves on. The group does not set the pace. • The schedule is Áexible because it is designed around the student, not tied to a set calendar. Thus, family vacations need not be interrupted.
Sylvan this summer... better grades next fall.

Political victory for anti-HST campaigners ST opponents have had their first political victory. On Friday, Peace River South MLA Blair Lekstrom announced he was resigning as Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources and leaving the B.C. Liberal caucus. He remains an MLA. The HST, or harmonized sales tax, takes effect July 1. It’s a merging of the 5 per cent federal GST (Goods and Services Tax) and the 7 per cent provincial sales tax into one 12 per cent tax. Merging the taxes into one will be a lot less costly to administer and the feds gave cashstrapped B.C. $1.5 billion to sweeten the pot. No taxpayer will ever like a new tax, but voters have good reason to be mad about HST. Prior to the 2009 election, B.C.’s Liberals said they wouldn’t harmonize the sales taxes. Not long after being re-elected, they did. Most voters should find this dishonest. The HST also means that many services not previously covered by the provincial sales tax, such as restaurants, are now getting hit with 7 per cent more in taxes. And British Columbians fume and watch while Ontario residents, who are also harmonizing their sales tax with the GST, get rebates up to $1,000. Lekstrom serves Peace River South, an independent-minded riding on the other side of the Rockies which contains Dawson Creek. Voters there are particularly livid with the HST. Lekstrom said “I firmly believe that government is making a decision they believe will help the province, but as we have been unable to bring the public along, I acknowledge there is a need to re-evaluate this decision... “In light of the widespread opposition to the HST, I believe it would be prudent to bring the move toward the HST to a halt and immediately engage British Columbians in a dialogue about our taxation policy. This is a major tax policy shift and it is time to engage British Columbians with a series of discussions about our province’s future.” Considering the limp election readiness shown by the NDP in recent campaigns and the fact this term will all-but-certainly be Premier Gordon Campbell’s last, the Liberals still hope to weather the storm on the HST. A few more moves like Lekstrom’s will change their minds.

Right you are, Blair. Carole Taylor couldn’t have said it better. This must be why you supported the HST in the cabinet, the B.C. Liberal caucus and then in a series of votes in the house. Alas, Lekstrom writes, “I have reached the point where my beliefs and values no longer align with my government.” Which beliefs would those be, Blair? The ones on the record or the ones recently developed in the coffee shops and car dealerships of Dawson Creek? It’s no secret that the HST is a daunting prospect for regions that border Alberta. It’s no coincidence that East Kootenay MLA Bill Bennett was quickly promoted to the suddenly vacant energy portfolio. When reporters crowded into Campbell’s office Friday morning, he was clearly shaken by the latest twist in the HST saga. Asked about another new party rising in B.C., he noted that antiHST organizer Chris Delaney has had three runs at that. The most recent was the B.C. Conservatives, the only party in 2009 to endorse the HST. Lekstrom’s latest brainwave, presented at last week’s cabinet meeting as his price for staying on, was a six-month time-out for the HST. Again, duh. The federal deal is done. The PST is gone. The money’s spent. Where would we find the billion dollars, Blair? One Vancouver paper played up Lekstrom’s maverick image, with the obligatory Harley photo and a headline proclaiming him “Rebel With a Cause.” I think Tom Petty was closer. A rebel without a clue.

Content in South Surrey Editor: Re: Nothing ever stays the same, May 26 letters. D. Barros’s letter suggesting the solution to White Rock’s problems is the annexation of the South Surrey peninsula is a perfect example of the elitist attitude displayed by many White Rock citizens. Barros naively assumes that those of us living in South Surrey would be excited by the opportunity to join White Rock and share in the benefits it brings, mainly higher property taxes and poorer services and amenities. A further advantage to be enjoyed would be being governed by a dysfunctional council and a bloated administration with its cost spread over far too few taxpayers. The real solution to White Rock’s problem is to undo the mistake made in the 1950s that granted it city status – and have it incorporated into Surrey. There are many examples of areas that have successfully maintained their own identity while being part of a larger incorporated area and enjoying the benefits of a much broader tax base. Steveston in Richmond and Cloverdale in Surrey are just two that come to mind. If the citizens of White Rock want to remain smug in their own little kingdom, they are entitled to do so and can continue to pay for the priviledge. Just don’t ask me to come and help them bear the cost. Happy and content in South Surrey! Bob Cooper, Surrey
pollution to have accumulated to over $250 billion by 2031. Smartrisk reports transport injuries cost $3.7 billion in 2004. The net side-effects of auto-oriented sprawl are painful injuries, illnesses and unnecessary and agonizing loss of life. Numerous reports indicate obesity and related illnesses arise from suburban lifestyles. One study reported that Americans living in sprawling developments are six pounds heavier and are at greater risk for diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure. Municipalities have championed attracting commercial development as “working closer to home” to offset impacts, but this approach causes more harm than good. People will apply for jobs regardless of where they live and where the employers are located in a given metro area; the higher the jobless rate and the greater the compensation the more the willingness to commute. The inference from these studies, if their information is correct, is that to be in the completely black financially, we need to be green. That means we need to shift all incurred costs from the general public to the users: drivers, developers, and buyers and lessors of land constructed in car-oriented projects on open space. In this fashion, the marketplace can then efficiently, effectively, and fairly allocate resources and for the greater good. Brendan B. Read, White Rock
Quality health care possible Editor: Re: Patients need quality control, June 11 letters. Attached is my letter regarding a horrendous hospital experience at Peace Arch Hospital that began on June 2. I was prompted into writing Health Minister Kevin Falcon and to your newspaper after having read M. O’Grady’s letter in the Peace Arch News about his experience at the hospital last month. Dear Kevin Falcon, Last week, I had major surgery at Peace Arch Hospital as a part of the ongoing treatment for my cancer. When I awoke from surgery, I was told I would have to leave my ward, as there were not enough beds because emergency was so busy. I was loaded into a wheelchair in probably the most pain I have ever had in my life, and wheeled to a hallway in the maternity ward. My blood pressure tanked before we reached the bed and I felt myself passing out as I was poured into the bed. There, I stayed in the hallway all night and thought the worst was over. In the morning, I was awakened by construction workers beginning work four feet from my bed; a curtain separated us. They began
sawing through steel pipes, jackhammering and generally making a huge racket. When I politely complained, I got a haughty response from the nurse saying, “Well, this is a construction zone!” As you may guess, I was thinking “Well, I thought it was supposed to be a hospital.” I checked out that morning only to be told by the homecare nurse that she would only visit me once, and I should come in and see her at the Berkley Pavilion after that. At the time, I could hardly walk or move around without great pain, so I was seen once at home. May I say, the Fraser Valley Cancer Clinic works like a welltuned machine, which tells me it can be done right. People there treat you with compassion and care, which helps you immensely as you endure difficult treatments. So it can be done. Your government has chosen not to fund local hospitals, and I don’t see any “quality care” there. To add to my horrendous experience, my drain came out – no home care nurse had time to come and see me; two years ago they did – so I had to go back to emergency at Peace Arch Hospital and wait in a hallway for hours, with other poor patients suffering the tedious wait. Need I explain the purpose of this letter? Please make improving our hospitals a priority. Michelle Voros, Surrey

Green keeps us out of the red Editor: Re: They only talk green, May 14 letters. It is understandable why municipalities act black while talking green. Building homes, stores and offices adds to property-tax bases and generates development and other fees, keeping tax loads on existing homes and businesses down. Residential growth, while expensive to support, acts as loss leaders for commercial expansion that contributes more to municipal coffers. Open-space land is cheaper to acquire and build on than existing property. Unfortunately and inadvertently, municipalities may be enabling red, and in more ways, tragically, than one. Permitting developers to build on open space downloads to the public environmental and health costs, on top of infrastructure expenses – erosion, loss of habitat and degraded water quality.

It takes courage to share their grief Editor: Re: A most puzzling concept, June 9 I was impressed and moved by reporter Tracy Holmes’ sensitive and knowledgeable article about infertility and its painful effect. My husband and I were told that our inability to conceive was “unexplained.” We went through the grief of numerous miscarriages and finally were able to conceive naturally when I was 42 years old and again at age 46.
And so we have two beautiful daughters. But the road was a long and sorrowful one, with the proof of our failure delivered monthly. Thank you for the focus you have given to a heartbreaking and often invisible grief. Many stories of grief and loss are not told because we as a society are uncomfortable with it all. I commend the folks involved for their courage, and I hope that their prayers are answered. Jacqueline Sephton, Surrey

Cause of death being withheld by police Nearly four weeks after Donald Robert Reid was killed, police investigating the May 22 murder remain mum as to the South Surrey man’s cause of death. The information is not being shared with the public “for strategic reasons,” Cpl. Dale Carr, of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, said last week. Reid was found with “significant and severe injuries” in the driveway of a home at 311 172 St. just before 2 a.m. May 22. Reid’s son told the Peace Arch News his dad had phoned him less than an hour before indicating people were coming for him. Police believe the murder was drug-related. Carr said investigators have

Books sold without a cover Black Bond Books’ outdoor tent sale had an unexpected twist last weekend. There was no tent. That’s because, overnight Thursday, someone stole the beige pop-up tent that was to provide shelter from the elements, good or bad. “It was set up. We were actually planning… a nice sale in the parking lot, because it’s a lot of fun,” store owner Cathy Jesson said Friday. The tent, measuring approximately three square metres, was taken from in front of the 1-15562 24 Ave. store. It joins a random list of things that have disappeared from outside the business, including planters, mats and even paving stones. Jesson said her business is not the only one falling victim to the petty
thefts. A donated planter was also taken from outside the nearby hospice thrift shop last summer, she said. “It made us reluctant this year to even put out nice hanging baskets,” she said. Jesson encouraged people to keep an eye out for suspicious activity in the neighbourhood, and to report anything even remotely questionable to police. “I just think if we kind of all help each other out, keep an eye on each other, maybe the bad guys won’t feel so welcome to help themselves to our things,” she said. “We all just have to be more aware, and not just sweep it under the carpet.” Anyone with information may contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

Washington to exempt B.C. shoppers once HST takes effect
Tax break across border Jeff Nagel Black Press
Cross-border shopping may surge starting July 1, when Washington State starts exempting B.C. residents from the state sales tax. As a result, B.C. shoppers who buy items in Bellingham, for example, should no longer have to pay the 8.5 per cent sales tax (6.5 per cent to the state plus two per cent to the county) normally levied there, provided they prove B.C. residency. It’s no coincidence the change happens the same day the 12 per cent harmonized sales tax takes effect in B.C. State rules exempt visitors from jurisdictions with little or no sales tax and the HST is counted as a value-added tax, not a sales tax. So far business leaders here are downplaying fears the exemption will send a stampede of Lower Mainland bargain hunters south of the border. “It’s another consideration,” said Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce executive director David Hull. “But I don’t think you’re going to see an extra 400 cars per hour queued up at the borders to take advantage of this.” Hull noted B.C. shoppers shouldn’t count on avoiding the Washington sales tax. Granting the exemption to B.C.

B.C. residents who head south to shop will receive a tax break in Washington starting July 1. residents is discretionary and up to individual merchants. Some may not offer it because of the extra paperwork required and the risk they’ll be out money if exemptions they grant are later disallowed. Hull doubts many people who aren’t already regular crossborder shoppers are willing to endure the hour-plus border lineups. He said those who think they save a lot often don’t factor in the costs of gas, duties and exchange. B.C. Chamber of Commerce president John Winter argues the savings B.C. businesses gain with the move to the HST will allow them to drop their prices over time. “Cross-border shopping isn’t a new issue for B.C.’s retailers,” added Mark Startup, CEO of Shelfspace (formerly RetailBC).
He predicts any impact will be minor and merchants here will adapt. Shoppers who don’t stay across the line long enough (48 hours for a $400 exemption and 78 hours for $750) will have to pay HST and duty on purchases in the U.S. NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston predicts businesses in Surrey will be hurt by the exemption. Some consumers will find it attractive, he said, particularly at a time of anger over the HST. “It’s another unanticipated consequence of the HST,” Ralston said. Each county has a different local sales tax, so amounts charged vary from 7.5 to 9.5 per cent, with stores in Whatcom County charging 8.5 per cent. The tax isn’t charged on meals, lodging or other services. While some Washington retailers are salivating over a possible flood of B.C. consumers heading south, the reaction to the change across the line is mixed. Whatcom County stands to lose at least $1 million a year on the county’s share of the tax from B.C. residents and officials there say that could trigger cuts to local services. Bellingham’s Chamber of Commerce and city council have asked state legislators to consider repealing the exemption.

She arrived in Colima in March, and has since visited communities where many people are unemployed, with little to no education. Children who do attend school usually walk far distances to get there, often cutting along active train tracks, where gangs and prostitutes are present at night. There are few recreational activities, sports teams or community centres, and Purvis said she has been told the neighbourhoods are rampant with gangs, alcoholism, drug addiction
and crime. Despite the apparent dangers, she said Colima is one of the safest cities she has visited in her global travels, which have included living in Buenos Aires, Argentina and Guayaquil, Ecuador, where she worked with youth in gangs. Purvis said she has met some of the youth in pandillas (small gangs) in Colima, and described them as curious and inviting. “In my eyes, they are no different from the majority of youth throughout the world. They are full of ideas and, when they trust you, they open up and are incredibly generous and fun. It’s just unfortunate that they have not had the abundance of opportunity people raised in more affluent areas are often afforded.” By interacting with the people living in Colima, Purvis has been able to encourage their involvement in her project. “There is some skepticism

that no one will come to the workshops,” she said. “This concerns me greatly. However, during my investigations, I promote the workshops and am very passionate about the benefits that will come from them. I do seem to be drawing interest from the people I speak with in these communities.” When Purvis completes her term in August, she will look at acquiring funding to continue working in Colima for another six months. If unsuccessful, Purvis plans to find another project in the field, and – although she is willing to go abroad again – is hoping it will be based back home, in the Lower Mainland. “I really hope that I can continue to do something I feel good about, something good for this world and future generations, and something that will make a difference in someone’s life, even if it is just a little.”

Elishah Jillings of team Supercycs takes her turn on the stationary bike during Elgin Park Secondary’s recent spin-a-thon, which raised $56,000.
Elgin Park spins out successful fundraiser A spin-a-thon to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation raised more than $56,000 for the cause – an impressive 40 per cent more than the goal set by its student organizers. Elgin Park Secondary leadership students hosted their Cyclebetes Spin-a-Thon at the 24 Avenue high school June 2, rallying more than 50 teams of riders – including families whose children were recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes – to pedal a stationery bike relaystyle for 12 hours. Teacher sponsor Sue Janzen described the result as
“absolutely crazy.” “We were spinning for $40,000 and we’re going to walk away with more than $56,000,” she said. The event was the leadership students’ second annual spin-a-thon. It was inspired by Cyclebetes, an event that was founded in 2007 after a Vancouver father promised his daughter he would do everything in his power to find a cure for her Type 1 diabetes before she turns 18. That same year, in support of this goal, Team H2V cycled 6,000 kilometres over eight days to raise money for JDRF.

to gauge how much sockeye is devoured by predators like seals, sea lions, killer whales and Humbolt squid. The management of the fishery by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), its organizational structure, funding, budgeting and allocation of resources tops the paper’s list of areas to explore. The hearings would also look at DFO’s run size forecasts, counting methods and related issues behind the huge discrepancy between expected numbers of salmon and how many have actually returned in recent years. Last year, a projected run of 10.6 million sockeye ended up yielding just 1.37 million. “Since the early 1990s, there has been a steady and profound decline,” according to the discussion paper. Preliminary hearings begin June 15, where stakeholders may propose more avenues for inquiry and debate what priority each should be given. Evidentiary hearings are to be begin Sept. 7, focusing on DFO’s management of the fishery. The commission sits at the Federal Court in downtown Vancouver, but promises to hold public forums in several coastal and Fraser River communities.

Since opening my restaurant at Grandview Corners more than a year ago, I have found advertising in the Peace Arch News to be a simple and effective way to promote my business on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. I have seen especially good results with ads that I have placed in their monthly coupon promotion, Clip or Click. In March of this year, I ran a buy-one-get-onefree coupon on the back page of the coupon wrap and was delighted to receive more than 300 coupons back from customers over subsequent weeks. On the advice of my advertising representative, there was no expiration date on the coupon which was extremely helpful with the promotion, as it encouraged people to come in even weeks after the advertisement was published. I was very impressed with the response to the coupon and the feedback that I have received from customers since then has been extremely positive as well. Working with the Peace Arch News over the past year has been a pleasant and beneďŹ cial experience, and everyone involved in the admaking process has always gone to great lengths to make sure my ads are just the way I want them. I would highly recommend any local businesses advertise with Peace Arch News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; after seeing ďŹ rst hand the positive response from their readers, I am conďŹ dent that my ads have paid off with increased customer visits.

NDP lashes Port Mann Bridge toll surcharges
31
Tired of the Home Office? PRIVATE EXECUTIVE OFFICES FOR RENT For more details visit: www.opbc.ca
Jeff Nagel Black Press
Motorists who use the new Port Mann Bridge and aren’t careful about paying the bill fast will be charged sharply higher tolls. The concession agreement governing the new toll bridge shows those who don’t pay within two full days of crossing may be charged $5.15 each way, rather than the $2.85 base toll for those who pay quickly, pre-pay or have a transponder. Opposition New Democrats, who released the agreement obtained under Freedom of Information, say the government misled motorists by repeatedly promising Port Mann tolls of $3 for regular vehicles. “Many people will be paying $5.15 compared to the $3 they thought it would be,” NDP transportation critic Harry Bains said. “And we haven’t seen the improvement in public transit they promised.” He said it’s unreasonable to jack the price for those who don’t pay within two days. “You won’t even get the bill within 48 hours in order to pay,” he said. Bains noted the “video processing” surcharge for those without transponders who don’t pay promptly is significantly more than the equivalent extra fee at the tolled Golden Ears Bridge. It charges $2.75 for cars with transponders, $3.30 for those that are detected by video but have registered in the system for payment and $3.90 for those who are unregistered and are billed by mail. The rate structure in the Port Mann agreement shows similar step-up rates for late payers with

Travellers who don’t pay their toll bills promptly – within two days – will be charged significantly higher tolls. other vehicle types – $8.10 (versus $5.70 base toll) for small trucks, $10.85 (versus $8.55 base) for large trucks and $3.75 (versus $1.45 base) for motorcycles. Bains noted those prices are in 2009 dollars and are likely to be higher when the bridge opens in 2013. Transportation Minister Shirley Bond accused the NDP of spreading “misinformation” and said the surcharge rates listed in the agreement are maximum levels – the actual surcharges are yet to be determined. “We haven’t made a decision about what that additional cost will be,” she said, calling extra fees necessary to recoup the costs of billing some users. “We have two years in which to have a discussion about what is required for cost recovery.” Motorists who set up preauthorized toll payment through their bank or credit card would avoid the surcharges altogether, Bond said, adding there will be other methods to pay as well,
such as by cellphone. The agreement also indicates large trucks will pay half rate if they cross the Port Mann at night, an encouragement to move cargo at off-peak times. A 25 per cent discount will also apply to vehicles in the HOV lane. The agreement shows HOV cheaters caught using the lane without the required number of passengers will be denied the HOV discount for one year. Taxis, people with disabilities and registered car pool vehicles will all be exempt from tolls, Bond said. Tolls on the Port Mann would rise by 2.5 per cent each year, according to the agreement. A transponder for the Golden Ears Bridge is also supposed to work for the Port Mann, and vice-versa. Regular users would also be subject to a $1.25 monthly account fee. The $2.4-billion project includes doubling the number of lanes throughout the Highway 1 corridor from Vancouver to Langley.

Drivers passing through Delta on Highway 99 can usually smell it before they see it. The Vancouver Landfill, a manmade mesa of garbage as tall as a 10-storey building, is the final resting place of 40 per cent of the Lower Mainland's waste. Metro Vancouver's proposed solid waste management plan assumes garbage will continue to be packed in layers at the landfill on the edge of Burns Bog for decades to come, regardless of whether a second waste-toenergy incinerator is built or the Cache Creek regional landfill is expanded. The dump – owned and operated by the City of Vancouver – poses environmental risks more serious than odour. In January 2009, a fire broke out in the landfill and burned underground for four weeks before fire

Landfill a major source of emissions from page 33 future remains significant and should be at least considered in weighing the region's waste disposal alternatives.
Collecting landfill gas The Vancouver Landfill is also a big local source of greenhouse gas emissions, because the landfill gas that burps from the pile contains methane, which is 21 times more potent in warming the atmosphere than carbon dioxide. According to the U.S. EPA, landfill gas also contains low levels of mercury – absorbed from the batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, electrical devices and paint that can end up in dumps. Capturing and burning landfill gas reduces greenhouse gas impacts and converts any mercury to a less toxic form. A grid of pipes in the Vancouver Landfill collects an estimated 70 per cent of its landfill gas. Belanger expects that will soon climb to 73 per cent and beyond as the dump closes more cells and lays down plastic covers on top to trap more gas. Close to a fifth of the landfill gas is flared on site at two large burners.

Improve the quality of your sleep tonight by replacing your old polyester comforter with a healthy new wool duvet!! FACT 1: Our bodies are made up of nearly 75% water. We can lose an average of
1 litre of moisture through perspiration every night! Wool is the only natural Àbre known to mankind that works to absorb perspiration during the night and then release it during the day. It can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without making the body feel damp.
FACT 2: Wool duvets can automatically adjust to each body’s ideal temperature level
allowing different couples their ideal environment. This allows you drier, warmer and more comfortable night’s sleep. They can relieve “night sweats” and beneÀt people who suffer from rheumatism, arthritis, and injured areas of the body. Polyester Àll can not do this.

burn other fuels – equivalent to taking 6,000 cars off the road and heating up to 4,000 homes. Water pollution is also a risk. Any landfill generates a certain amount of leachate – the toxic soup produced when rainwater sluices through garbage. The Vancouver Landfill is particularly susceptible because of its rainy West Coast location, unlike the arid, desert-like climate at the Cache Creek landfill. Any new landfill built under modern regulations would require a composite clay-andplastic liner to contain leachate. But the Vancouver landfill, built in 1966, has no such liner. Instead, it relies on a compacted clay base that's considered highly impermeable and a system of twin ditches that surround the perimeter to catch leachate that seeps out the sides of the dump. Leachate caught by the dikes is pumped out to the Annacis Island sewage plant for treatment. Underground wells are used to regularly test the groundwater in aquifers that flow southwest under the dump toward Boundary Bay. "We're not seeing migration of leachate in the aquifers in the see page 35
FACT 3: Wool duvets are naturally hypo allergenic and anti-microbial so they deter
dust mites. Your body never comes in contact with the wool because it’s encased in a Àne, smooth, high-thread count natural cotton cover. Our wool duvets are specially manufactured to create a light, airy, warm, insulating batting making them ideal for those warm weather nights.

‘It’s not socially responsible, it’s not politically responsible’ from page 34 groundwater below the landfill," Belanger said. Meanwhile, efforts to take food scraps and other organics out of the waste stream should reduce the amount of leachate generated over time, as will the gradual closing of more sections of the dump. Not everyone is reassured. Eliza Olson, president of the Burns Bog Conservation Society, fears an earthquake could liquefy soil in the area and release a torrent of pent-up landfill effluent. "It could spill toxins into the neighbouring farmland and the Fraser River," she said. "You've got an ecological disaster waiting to happen there." Delta council wants the landfill closed as quickly as possible. Lois Jackson "The majority of people Delta mayor don't want to have it here," said Mayor Lois Jackson, speaking as Delta mayor, rather than the chair of Metro's board. She faces an uphill battle. City of Vancouver officials see the potential to run the landfill for at least another 40 years – it's currently permitted to operate until 2037. Jackson said she has tried but failed to persuade City of Vancouver politicians to meet to discuss the long-term future of the dump. Delta cannot unilaterally end the tripartite agreement it has with Metro and Vancouver authorizing the landfill. "They have carte blanche to continue dumping stinking garbage into another

"They want to be the greenest city in the world – but at the expense of the Delta airshed, our roadways, our truck traffic problem and the longevity of that permit." Money is a big motive, she charges. The low cost of the Vancouver Landfill – $30 per tonne of waste dumped there – gives City of Vancouver residents far cheaper disposal than if they had to use the rest of the regional system, which costs $82 per tonne. Vancouver also charges the full
regional rate on much of the non-residential waste dumped there and pockets the difference – a $52-per-tonne profit that adds up to millions of dollars of revenue a year. Consultants for Vancouver estimated the city will save $700 million over the next 40 years by being able to dump at its own landfill, rather than using the regional system. They also recommended Vancouver resist any proposals to either close the landfill early or open it up to more of the rest of the region, and instead preserve it as long as possible for the primary use of Vancouver taxpayers. As host of the landfill, Delta gets major benefits as well – free disposal for its residents and a flow of royalties paid by Vancouver. "It's a sweet deal for us," Jackson acknowledges, adding some of her taxpayers might say Delta should shut up and take the money. "But it's not socially responsible, it's not politically responsible." Vancouver city council has come out against the combustion of more waste (they prefer alternative waste-to-energy technologies other than a new mass-burn incinerator). Vancouver Coun. Heather Deal, who serves on Metro's waste management committee, denies Jackson's claims that Van-

She said finances were not a factor in the decision and that Vancouver is willing to discuss the landfill's future with Delta and Metro Vancouver. "We're happy to have that discussion," Deal said. "We want to aggressively pursue reducing the amount of waste going into the landfill and taking out the organics so we don't have the methane issues." Deal said the Vancouver Landfill will likely always need to be open to take the ash that's left behind by the existing waste incinerator. Next in the series: Decision time

Dance-a-thon
Robert Davidson
Students of Spiral Dance Co. of White Rock will launch their Rockfest 2010 24-hour Dance-athon at 5 p.m. this Friday (June 18) at their home studio, 1471 Stayte Rd. (160 Street) The event will raise funds through pledges to support Free The Children, a Canadian-based organization of children helping children throughout the world by freeing them from poverty and exploitation – and the notion that they are powerless to bring about positive social change. To celebrate the pledges already collected by Spiral dancers – each dancer has committed to raise $50 – and further inspire them, there will be a professional stage, lighting and sound system in place, courtesy of Q Sound, plus performances by a number of guest artists. These will include up-andcoming singer-songwriter Joe Given, and renowned anthem singer and classical tenor Mark Donnelly, both of whom will perform at the launching ceremony, starting at 5 p.m. on Friday. Other performers include singers Levon Schmidt and Sean Goodall (7:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, noon to 12:30 p.m. Saturday), singer Abby Williams (9:45 to 10 p.m. Friday), band Fall With Them (10:30 to 11 p.m. Friday) and singer Shelby Noble (1:45 to 2 p.m. Saturday).
Eagle Transforming: The Prints of Robert Davidson will be on show at Surrey Art Gallery, 13750 88 Ave., until June 21. The exhibition 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 curatorhistorical at Vancouver Art Gallery. For more information on the exhibit or for gallery hours, visit www.arts.surrey.ca

Peace Arch News Wednesday, June 16, 2010
scene Players Club The White Rock Players Club’s production of The Stepmother continues until June 26 at Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. The 1920s-era show helps correct a historical wrong by presenting a protofeminist play that has only recently been restored to public view after being lost for more than 80 years. The drama, written by playwright Githa Sowerby (Rutherford and Son) received only one production by a private theatre club in London in 1924. But it was considered a lost work until a copy was found in the archives of theatre publisher Samuel French. A powerful drama about a woman working hard to raise two stepdaughters, in spite of the unreliability and scheming ways of her husband, the piece finally received a belated professional debut at last year’s Shaw Festival, winning recognition as both a period piece and a feminist statement far ahead of its time. The play features Chloe Traynor as Lois, the title character and Players Club past-president Fred Partridge as her ne’erdo-well spouse. Evening performances are 8 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, with a 2:30 p.m. matinee Sunday, June 20. Tickets ($16, $14 seniors) are available from wrpctix@ uniserve.com or the theatre boxoffice, at 604-536-7535. The club’s successful Music In The Theatre series continues July 10 with the high energy music of jumpswing-blues band The Twisters, led by David ‘Hurricane’ Hoerl and featuring guitarist Brandon Isaak, featured guest in the previous Wendy Bollard concert.

Swanson won’t coach Tritons next season Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
After two seasons at the helm of the White Rock Tritons, head coach Brent Swanson is moving on after the current season to focus on his job, his family and, potentially, new coaching opportunities. Tritons’ general manager Mike Joy made the announcement last week while Swanson was away from the team, attending a friend’s wedding in Mexico. “I just need a change. I’ve got a lot going on – I started an indoor baseball academy out in Richmond in January, and I’m getting married in August, so I need to focus on
other things,” Swanson said Mon- from Josh Ridgway – who moved day. “I’ve been with my fiancee on to coach at Douglas College – for three years, and we’ve in 2008. never really had a summer “It’s bittersweet, it really together, because I’ve been is.

years of pro ball with guys who were very serious about the game, and I just want to get back to that situation,” said Swanson, who is exploring college coaching opportunities. “I need that, and I need to get away from some of the (politics) here, to be honest. I mean, I’m volunteering my time, and sometimes it’s all a bit much.” His decision would not have been different had the team been winning, he reiterated. “People have asked me that, and I tell them that even if our record was reversed, I’d still have done it,” he said.
Swanson said he told his players and team management of his decision prior to his trip to Mexico. “I fully respect Brent’s decision, and I think it’s the right one for him,” said Joy, who added that this season has been “the strangest in the 20 years I’ve coached.” Russ Smithson, currently in his first year as coach of the Junior Tritons, will take over the U18 squad next year, Joy said, while Junior Tritons assistant coach Mike Bird, will take over Smithson’s old post. “Russ is a great guy and a good coach. He’ll do a really good job,” said Swanson. more Tritons, page 42

what’s
Aiming for Games Some of the Lower Mainland’s top track and field stars were at South Surrey Athletic Park last week, trying to qualify for the Zone 3 team that will compete at B.C. Summer Games in July. Plenty of Ocean Athletics members found themselves on the podium, led by Meghan Palesch, who finished first in the 80-m hurdles; second in the 300-m dash; and tied for third in the high jump with a leap of 1.51 metres. Tying Palesch was Peninsula native Amy Vicic, who competes with the Langley Mustangs. Another local – and Langley Mustang member – Taylor Neveu, was second. South Fraser Track and Field’s Kathryn van Ryswyk, an Earl Marriott student, was second to Palesch in the 80 hurdles. In the girls 1,200m, Ocean Athletics’ Tessa Davis took top spot, while Mackenzie
Satterfield – a Semiahmoo Secondary student who ran unattached from any club – claimed gold in the boys 100-m hurdles, and was second in the 200 and long jump. In the girls 300, Alison Williams was first and Davis third. Williams won a second gold medal in the 800. In the boys 800, OA’s Chase Lawler and Liam McKay were second and third, respectively. Lawler also finished third in the 200. In the girls 2,000, Ally Ginther was second and Reta Dobie third, while Dustin Johnson claimed top spot in the boys 2,000. Robbie Kang was second in both boys discus and shot put, and Ben Ingvaldson was third in shot put and hammer throw, and fourth in discus. Rounding out the podium finishes was Max Hanna, who claimed gold in boys javelin.

Future Shop – Correction Notice
Tritons win once on homestand The White Rock Tritons finally got to spend an entire weekend at home, going 1-3 on a two-day, four-game homestand at South Surrey Athletic Park last weekend. On Saturday, the Tritons – last in the 13-team B.C. Premier Baseball League with a 7-24 record – dropped a pair of games to the eighth-place Nanaimo Pirates, the first by a 1-0 score, the second, 8-3. The team rebounded Sunday with a 9-4 victory over the visiting Parksville Royals, but the Royals took the nightcap, 3-1. The four-game set was the first time all season that the well-travelled Tritons played a full weekend slate – two games each day – on home turf. The Tritons were also schedule to play the second-place North Delta Blue Jays last Thursday, but the game was postponed due to rain. In the first game Saturday, the teams were locked in a scoreless tie until the top of the fifth inning, when Pirates’ Brendan McCarthy – who reached base with a double earlier in the inning – scored on a two-out single by Jordan Romine. Despite allowing just one run over a full seven innings of work – while striking out five – Tritons’ pitcher Alex Webb was tagged with the loss. Offensively, White Rock could muster just four hits –

White Rock Tritons’ Brandon Sonnenberg (left) just beats the throw to Parksville’s Dallas Monk. all singles save for Josh Larsen’s double – off Nanaimo hurler Kenton Schroter, who went the distance for the visiting team. In Game 2, the Nanaimo offence got on track, plating one run in the second, four in the third, one in the fourth and two in the fifth to jump out to an 8-0 lead, before White Rock battled back with three runs in the final two innings. Sean McGuire pitched four innings for the Tritons before he was relieved on the hill by Larsen, who threw the final
three frames. White Rock got its lone win of the weekend early Sunday afternoon against a Parksville team that has also struggled this year – with a record of 9-17. Shaylen Buis pitched his team to the win, going six innings – striking out two, and allowing three earned-runs – before Todd Bird came in to earn the save in the seventh. Right-fielder Keenan Chanin was the offensive catalyst, going 3-for-3 with a triple, Brandon
Novak had three RBI and a double, while a pair of Blaine, Wash. natives – shortstop Tanner Weaver and catcher Dustin Dhanani – each chipped in with a pair of hits. In the second game, a masterful performance from starting pitcher Jeff Degano – who struck out a season-high 14 batters in seven innings – wasn’t enough to sweep the Royals, whose three-run second inning held up in a 3-1 win. - Nick Greenizan
