Appeal attempt difficult to understand after apology, says victims’ parents

Berner disputes verdict, jail term Tracy Holmes & Kristine Salzmann Black Press

Carol Berner may have apologized in court for killing toddler Alexa Middelaer, but the tearful words fall flat in light of the Delta woman’s decision to appeal the consequences of her actions, Alexa’s mom said this week. “What’s hardest for us is to align her apology – that she’s taking full responsibility for her actions, that she admits to drinking, that she admits to being responsible for Alexa’s death – to her appealing the consequences for that,” Laurel Middelaer said Monday. Accepting her penalty “would be a different message to the family.” Berner, 58, was sentenced Friday in Surrey Provincial Court to 2½ years in prison in connection with Alexa’s May 2008 death. She was convicted in July of impaired driving

causing death and bodily harm and dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm. At a sentencing hearing the previous Monday, an emotional Berner described Alexa’s death as “something that I will live with for the rest of my life.” “I wish I could change what happened that day, but all I can do is take responsibility for

my actions and make changes within myself and try and make a difference,” she said. Defence lawyer David Tarnow filed appeals Monday for Berner’s convictions and sentence, submitting that Judge Peder Gulbransen erred on seven points in her conviction: • in ruling Berner was not arbitrarily detained when she was held in a police vehicle at the crash scene for 30 minutes; • in ruling statements Berner made to Delta Police were admissible, as questioning took place “without any ‘warnings’ regarding her rights to retain and instruct counsel”; • in ruling the attending officer had reasonable grounds to demand Berner provide a roadside breath sample; • in ruling Berner’s right to make full answer and defence was not infringed when she see page 2

While Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts has ruled out running for the leadership of the BC Liberal party – effectively becoming next premier – another South Surrey resident, Health Minister Kevin Falcon, said he’s “at least a month away” from deciding whether to run. Watts told Black Press Friday she has no appetite for the current “cruel” environment of B.C. politics, also citing a provincial disconnect with the public. But Falcon, MLA for Surrey-Cloverdale, left the door open for a lead- Dianne Watts ership bid, saying he needed further time to contemplate the idea. “I don’t want to make a final decision until I take some time off with my family,” the Ocean Park resident said Friday. The search for a new Liberal leader became Kevin Falcon necessary last month when Premier Gordon Campbell announced his impending resignation amid plummeting popularity. (The party executive announced Monday a leadership vote will be held Feb. 26.) Watts, who has been touted by many as one of the best hopes to resurrect the flagging party, indicated she sees the Liberals’ current misfortunes as symptoms of systemic problems with B.C. politics – not the least of which is a huge disconnect between the wishes of the public and the wants of politicians. “I’m aligned with the general public in looking for that change,” Watts said. “I’m not aligned with the political system that governs the province or the country.” see page 4

news City of Surrey deals with multi-family homes

‘Manor houses’ eyed as suite solution Kevin Diakiw Black Press

The City of Surrey is forging ahead with a secondary-suite bylaw, allowing one of the units per single-family dwelling – and in some instances, more than one suite will be allowed. The city has grappled with illegal suites for 35 years and is the last in the region to regulate them. Coun. Linda Hepner said this gives the city the advantage of building a Surrey solution based on the best practices of the cities that have already formed laws. On Monday, Surrey council instructed staff to come forward with a bylaw that also ensures

that each of the homes with suites is inhabited by the property owner, and that homes with multiple suites will be shut down. Homes with coach houses (exterior suites) will not be eligible to put a suite in the home, and any property with a suite will have to provide one extra off-street spot for parking. Hepner has some concerns regarding allowing suites on the smaller lots (27 feet wide), while requiring extra off-street parking. She said she doesn’t want communities to begin paving their front lawns to allow more parking. She also has issues regarding homes with multiple suites. The newly designated “manor homes” could

contain more than one suite, but homeowners would have to face the rigours of a public hearing before it would be allowed. “These ‘manor houses’ would contain multiple dwelling units that are similar to the scale and look to a single-family house, and could be built on smaller parcels that would be typical for a townhouse or apartment project,” a staff report to council states. Coun. Marvin Hunt said the manor homes allow communities that want multiple suites to legalize them. “This is going to be the way to deal with the multiple suites in areas where the whole area has multiple suites,” Hunt said. There are also some areas, such as West

Panorama Ridge, where residents don’t want secondary suites. Those communities would be able to apply to Surrey council to place restrictions so that the secondary dwellings wouldn’t be allowed there. That process would be similar to downzonings in past years in St. Helen’s Park and Royal Heights to stave off so-called monster homes. The report to council Monday will begin the process of crafting a bylaw to address the secondary-suite issue in Surrey. Many of the finer details will be contained within that bylaw. “This is the first step, this is what I was generally after,” Hunt said.

Teacher killed in 2006

Panghali trial starts this week Records of cellphone use and circumstantial evidence will show a Surrey man killed his pregnant wife, a Crown prosecutor told a New Westminster courtroom Monday. Mukhtiar Panghali, 38, is charged with the second-degree murder of his 30-year-old wife Manjit, whose burned body was found beside the Deltaport Way truck route in South Delta on Oct. 23, 2006. Prosecutor Dennis Murray told the B.C. Supreme Court judge evidence will show Manjit used her cellphone four times on the way to a pre-natal yoga class on Oct. 16, 2006, the day she disappeared. Her husband used the phone with a different sim card after her disappearance. Panghali also moved his wife’s car to create confusion about her whereabouts, Murray told the court. Manjit, a teacher at North Ridge Elementary in Panorama Ridge, was four months pregnant with her second child when she was reported missing by her husband, who made a tearful plea for help in finding her at a Surrey RCMP news conference before her body was found. In March 2007, he was arrested and charged with her murder. He had originally wanted to be tried before a jury, then recently decided to be tried by judge alone. The trial is expected to take up to a month. – Black Press, with files from CTV

City staff told not to tape meetings

White Rock council bans recordings Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock councillors have put a stop to city staff making audio recordings of any of their meetings – public or in-camera – until a policy governing the practice is in place. The issue arose at last month’s governance and legislation committee meeting, when Mayor Catherine Ferguson asked for tapes from incamera meetings she had missed. “All I recall is reacting from the standpoint of not knowing,” Coun. Doug McLean told Peace Arch News Tuesday, explaining the reasoning for a motion he made Oct. 25 that put an across-the-board moratorium on the practice. “For me… the issue was council wasn’t aware of the in-camera meetings being taped.” Council supported the motion unanimously. Before this week’s meeting – at which council referred the issue to staff for development of a policy – Couns. Mary-Wade Anderson, Helen Fathers and Grant Meyer said they supported the no-taping concept when it comes to in-

camera meetings, although they acknowledged McLean’s motion did not differentiate. “We all supported it because we didn’t want to have in-camera meetings taped,” Anderson said. After the meeting, Ferguson said she had wanted everything taped to ensure accuracy. City clerk Tracey Arthur said last month that tapes were being used to back up written minutes. “Sometimes, if there’s lots of conversations, it’s nice to make sure you’ve got the wording,” she said. “If there’s something we didn’t quite get, they’re used as a backup. They don’t want that.” The written minutes are the official record recognized through the Community Charter. McLean said clear guidelines around taping meetings are needed “so everybody knows the purpose and why we’re doing it.” It’s also important to know the legal aspects around taping in-camera meetings; whether the tape becomes a document of the city that could be accessed through Freedom of Information, he said.

“I wanted to make sure we weren’t in violation of any of the legislation by having a staff member doing the taping. There’s a whole bunch of issues that I wanted staff to take a look at… to make sure we’re crossing our t’s and dotting our i’s.” While McLean said other municipalities have policies regarding taping meetings, Surrey city clerk Jane Sullivan said in that city, it is simply something that’s done. Surrey public meetings are regularly videostreamed online and archived, Sullivan said. In-camera meetings, however, are not taped. “It’s closed for a reason,” Sullivan said Tuesday. “There would be no taping.” Sullivan noted any tapes of in-camera meetings would only be available by court order and only in specific circumstances. The written minutes are equally protected. She reiterated tapes are not the official record of any meeting, in-camera or otherwise. And while Sullivan said it would be unusual to have no meetings taped, each municipality can make its own call on the practice.

Always the Best Value In Town!

Airlifted Two people were airlifted to hospital Friday after a pickup truck collided with a tractortrailer on 176 Street at 40 Avenue at around 12:30 p.m. Northbound lanes on Highway 15 (176 Street) were closed between 32 Avenue and Highway 10 for several hours while police investigated. According to police, the pickup was eastbound on 40 Avenue when it appeared to stop at the stop sign at 176, but then proceeded into the path of the northbound tractor-trailer. The larger truck struck the pickup on the passenger side. Both occupants of the smaller truck – a 20-year-old Surrey woman and a 20-year-old Surrey man – were taken to hospital. Police said Monday both victims were found to have “fairly minor” injuries. One of two pit bulls in the pickup was killed in the crash. The tractor-trailer driver, a 64-year-old Bellingham man, was shaken, but not injured. Police believe driver inattention was a factor in the collision. Anyone who may have witnessed the crash is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

A fool’s game

ianne Watts is no political neophyte. Surrey’s mayor had long enjoyed civic success prior to being tapped by pundits as a frontrunner if she were to run for leader of the BC Liberal party – a title that all but guarantees premiership, given Gordon Campbell’s impending resignation and a fixed election date of May 14, 2013. And make no mistake, Watts is one of only two names on many a short list (former finance minister Carole Taylor being the other) who is not long on culpability, at least where the Liberals’ HST fiasco is a concern. However, had Watts chosen to run, she would have become embroiled in the very “cruel” world of provincial politics she says she loathes. Politician versus politician, camp versus camp, lobby group versus lobby group… and this is merely during any leadership bid, never mind when opposition parties fire their opening shots. As was made obvious by Watts’ comments Friday, it would’ve been precipitous to have taken her for a fool and gambled on any other outcome. Watts would have had to face off against pro-HST enthusiasts – and there are plenty within party circles – many of whom would have taken no prisoners in their attempts to bring down a seeming interloper. Campbell, himself, has done little to make things easy for his eventual successor. Since his resignation speech Nov. 3 – in which he neglected to mention he planned to remain at the helm for months – Campbell has not allowed his party to capitalize on his departure. Instead, a very public Campbell – he’s in California this week at a global climate summit hosted by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger – obviously wants the BC Liberals to stay the course he set for them. How odd that his words and resignation admit his liability, yet his subsequent actions do little to atone for it. Odds are, whoever wins the party leadership in a vote Feb. 26 will be seen by some as an interim leader, and could easily follow in the smaller footsteps of former premiers Rita Johnston, Dan Miller and Ujal Dosnjh. Anyone with Watts’ political savvy knows this. It could be argued that Watts never had any intention of seeking a higher profile nod than the mayor’s job, but that doesn’t stand to reason, given Watts’ enthusiasm for shining a spotlight on her civic ventures. She’s long been wooing big-city media, and the past few weeks of speculation have, no doubt, not been unwelcome. We suggest the smart money would be on Watts eying the premiership in, perhaps, the near future. While Watts is no neophyte, her political career is relatively young. Like Campbell’s pal, the “Governator,” she’ll be back.

111 responding the petition. So if you vote Yes next fall, you will still pay the federal GST, and you will get back some form of the old PST, once the provincial government rehires hundreds of tax staff transferred to the federal government. A Finance Ministry briefing memo, released last week, points out that if B.C. flip-flops and brings back the PST, businesses might leave the province. Some firms that signed contracts based on HST input tax credits may sue the government to recover their losses. B.C.’s reputation as a stable place to invest will be damaged. Then there is the personal income tax cut, which like the HST is intended to attract investment and jobs. Hansen has already notified the Canada Revenue Agency of the 15 per cent reduction, so the income tax deducted from your paycheque will be reduced starting Jan. 1. That tax cut will put about $600 million a year into the B.C. consumer economy, a stimulus that will show up in government revenues. But the ministry forecasts it will be several years before growth fills the revenue hole. Hansen insisted that even with the income tax cut, the B.C. government can still get out of deficit by 2013 and have some “flexibility” in this spring’s budget. All this of course rests on the assumption of an economy growing and recovering from recession. Indulging in the latest wacky B.C. political protest would almost certainly weaken that recovery.

This land is our land

Her victims pay the price

Editor: Re: White Rock landscaping jeopardizes safety: BNSF, Nov. 5. Who is the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway to tell the City of White Rock what they have to do and what they do not have to do? They are passing through our city, not the reverse. Every other citizen has to obey the statues of the City of White Rock, not the reverse. Why is it that BNSF is allowed to have the hump run rampant with weed trees and undergrowth, and we have nothing to say of it? It is time we took control of our own Marine Drive situation. We used to have a wonderful ocean view on Marine Drive, prior to the BNSF deciding not the trim the trees and the undergrowth. The undergrowth has sapped the ‘eagle tree’ from receiving the water it requires to stay healthy. The ‘eagle tree’ is now dying due to the lack of moisture. It is about time that we took control of our own destiny. Jack P. Scott, White Rock

Editor: Re: Carol Berner sentenced to 2½ years, Nov. 12 peacearchnews.com Is that all a young child’s life is worth? I imagine many other people will feel as outraged as I do when they read that Carol Berner is sentenced to 30 months for killing a young child. It’s like giving a licence to kill to other drinking drivers. No doubt the 30 months will be reduced “for good behaviour.” And when Berner is released, that poor little girl will still be dead and her parents will still be grieving. M.E. Davidson, White Rock

You must think we’re foolish Editor: Re: Slow speed a danger, too, Nov. 10 editorial. The Peace Arch News editor and BNSF apparently believe zombies haunt the tracks looking for collisions, unaware of the consequence of steel and cargo leisurely making its way towards them. Now that the tracks have been made safe by removing the vegetation, the discussion should be about the need for the blaring call emanating from that direction. Is the giant shape, dinging bell, loud noise, bright light, tracks, with notice, not enough? These tracks might be as dangerous as crossing a street, but less so, because pedestrians can be confident of the path the train will follow. One can see and hear the train make progress fully 15 minutes before it arrives, and are reminded in three-minute intervals from one side of town to the other. The bigger danger of the tracks is to one’s eardrums and serenity. This is surely the only pedestrian crossing in the world that requires the train to bellow its whistle, which it frequently does, regardless of time or if people are even about. Are we truly a society so chuck full of fops and clods that cannot be trusted out of doors? Certainly those people who recklessly endanger themselves and others should be placed on leads, as they are just as likely to saunter out in front of buses or fall off curbs. Not to be heartless, we could petition the city to provide fenced, off-lead parks for them for exercise and socialization with other likeminded individuals. Patrick Traffas, White Rock

Forgive my ignorance Editor: Re: It’s more than just a list of names, Nov. 10 letters. As I near 50, I have been racked with more and more emotion this past Remembrance Day. Like I’ve been hit in the heart. I struggle to put into words how truly hard it is to deal with but can only feel a sense of shame.

It started over the past few years as I drove through the “Highway of Heroes” when a fallen solider had returned from Afghanistan. Recently, I fell upon a six-part series on CBC hosted by George Stroumboulopoulos, Love, Hate and Propaganda, a graphic series starting with the First World War. It portrayed how media propaganda fueled the war effort. I was stunned by the real accounts of atrocities. This was the realization of my ignorance to what the world had been for the past 100 years. The real world. What countries had come through. I couldn’t comprehend the cruel truths from the war. Insufferable horrors carried out by dictators. Where whole generations were manipulated by fear. I soon understood that like so many of my generation, I had unconsciously refused to deal with it in my younger years as a form of protection. If I didn’t think about it, it didn’t really happen. But I couldn’t deny it any longer. I found myself immersed in Remembrance Day this year – leading up to it – consciously reading, listening and searching for stories. As hard as it is to hear, I now have a great desire to remember. I knew I had three uncles who served, along with my recently departed father-in-law, bless his heart. So this year, unlike any other, it was most important to attend a ceremony. We attended the intimate service

at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240. I listened eagerly to the stories and was overcome again and again as each shared their losses, their victories, their truths. I couldn’t stop thinking how different it would be for all of us standing there, had these good folk not put themselves out there, for their country, for us. It gave me chills. At a very opportune moment to reflect, I looked up at the overcast sky, a beautiful bald eagle glided above in full flight at the gasp of many onlookers. I could feel the spirits of those watching. It was a powerful experience. So I beg you, all those who have sacrificed yourself, forgive me. I owe you my heartfelt gratitude for what you gave me and all those who enjoy this beautiful country and homeland, Canada. I am more proud than ever. I am shameful of how little importance I placed on this date. But I can honestly say now, that is past. For I am a changed human. Branch vice-president Percy Smith said it best: “There are times when the path of the world is turned by the smallest events – a single idea, a single choice or the actions of a single person. And there are times when our path is turned by the raw courage of thousands.” It’s never too late. Lest we forget. I never will. Brenda Howard, Surrey

Letter-writer Larry Robinson submitted these holiday snapshots from Southern California.

Others simply manage pay parking Editor: We recently took a holiday in Southern California, staying in my favourite beach town, San Clemente. We used public transit only and visited the neighbouring towns and cities, which are part of the massive Los Angeles and San Diego urban corridor. It was election time. The local papers were full of debate and I visited city halls and spoke to local business people about their issues. Their concerns were remarkably similar to White Rock: development size and quality, attracting tourism, taxes and parking fees. Each town had a different rate but everyone related pay parking to viability of their business district. The competition for retail and service surrounds each of these idyllic beach locations. Laguna Beach, some of the America’s most expensive property on a world-famous beach at town centre, charges $1 per hour from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. 365 days a year. San Clemente, at the pier directly in front of the major surfing beach, charges $1.50 per hour from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for 365 days. And Coronado Island, part of San Diego and in the major commercial district one block from world famous hotel and beach, charges one

quarter for one hour, 365 days of the year. Solana Beach, 13,800 people, was debating whether to charge for parking at all, fearing loss of business to the surrounding communities and massive shopping malls. The consistency of each community’s approach was one rate, one set of hours, all year. California is a world leader in technology and receives sun all year but has no solar-powered keyboards with batteries that need charging every week. Parking meters were simple coin operations. Enforcement was scarce. I did see a father – who stopped to pick up his surfing son for school at San Clemente’s main beach – receive a ticket. I asked how much, and he laughed saying they only give a warning for a few minutes over limit. Every town I visited welcomed me, wanted my business, and encouraged me to visit other businesses in the community. White Rock has turned parking into a self-perpetuating industry justified by the short-term goal of miscellaneous revenue. White Rock parking policy is not about managing beach parking. It’s about gouging our visitors before they have stepped foot in one of our businesses. Larry Robinson, White Rock

NOVEMBER SPECIAL

Stopped train ties up traffic Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Traffic in and out of Crescent Beach was tied up for close to an hour Friday morning, after an emergency stop of a Burlington Northern Santa Fe freight train. BNSF spokesperson Gus Melonas said Friday that crew members of a 41-car train originating in Surrey stopped it for inspection at 6:50 a.m. after an onboard computer indicated a valve failure in the lead locomotive. “Unfortunately, where it stopped meant it blocked two crossings, at Beecher Street and McBride Avenue,” he said. Melonas added the process of disconnecting the lead locomotive and moving up one of the other two locomotives on the train to replace it took some 50 minutes before the train could be cleared from the crossings at 7:45 a.m. “That’s longer than BNSF wants to block crossings,” he said, adding that the railway wished to apologize for the inconvenience to residents and others who were held up. “We’re having a meeting today to address the situation and reviewing operating procedures to make sure that something like this doesn’t happen again,” he said, adding that the locomotive that triggered

Melonas said that 31 of the cars in the train were loaded with a variety of freight including raw and processed lumber and vegetable produce. “There was one tank car on the train with LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) – that was the only hazardous material on board,” Melonas said.

New West teen faces mischief charges A New Westminster teen is facing charges after South Surrey firefighters alerted police to vandalism in progress last week. Staff Sgt. Scott Campbell said officers attended a business near 18 Avenue and 152 Street around noon Nov. 8, after Hall 13 firefighters reported witnessing a youth defacing a local business

with graffiti. A 15 year old was arrested, and police seized two black markers, Campbell said. Released on a promise to appear, the teen is charged with mischief under $5,000. Campbell described graffiti as “a nonsensical destructive crime that accomplishes nothing of benefit to anyone.”

While several police programs target individuals involved, Campbell praised “other solutions” recently embarked on in the community – including mural projects and the repainting of a business’s exterior wall, all by youth – with also bringing positive change to the issue. - Tracy Holmes

Hundreds turned out to Remembrance Day services in White Rock Thursday morning to pay tribute to those who served in war. Tracy Holmes photos

The Peninsula remembers its veterans Staff Reporter

hile wreaths were being laid at the cenotaph outside Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240 last week, a little girl – about eight years old – handed Percy Smith a note. Smith, the legion’s second vice-president, examined the missive, which read ‘I thank you for what you did for my country and I thank you for bringing us the freedom that we enjoy today.’ “It’s very touching when a young person comes up and tells you that,” he told Peace Arch News. “It is touching because I think a written word is very much more effective than a spoken word.” The exchange was just one of several emotional points in the branch’s Nov. 11 Remembrance Day ceremony. The mid-morning ceremony, held at 2643 128 St., also included a piper, a fly-past of vintage aircraft and speeches. “It was one of the better programs we’ve had in the last few years,” Smith said, refer-

ring to the approximately 700 people who attended. RCL White Rock Branch 8 also saw an impressive turnout Thursday, with around 1,500 observing a ceremony held at the cenotaph outside White Rock City Hall, 15322 Buena Vista Ave. “It’s always nice to see a large crowd down there,” branch president Paul Charlton said, noting the weather was co-operative. “It just started to spit as we finished.” The commemoration began with a 9:30 a.m. parade from the corner of Johnston

Road and Roper Avenue. Veterans, cadets, RCMP, firefighters, boy scouts, girl guides, dignitaries and others made their way to First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave., for a service. The subsequent ceremony included speeches, the singing of O Canada and the laying of wreaths at the memorial. Charlton said he was pleased to see people come out to honour those who served in war. “If they didn’t give their life or get injured on our behalf, society would be a lot different than what it is now. That’s why we remember.” Smith said he has noticed strong public recognition of Remembrance Day in recent years, and said modern conflicts may play a role. “With the Afghanistan war, with the exposure in the newspapers of what is happening there, I think people are more aware that we have veterans,” he said. “They’re looking at the young men that are coming along in Afghanistan and I think that’s creating a new

impact on the part of the public.” It’s especially encouraging to see younger generations show appreciation. Percy said another notable moment at this year’s service was when the children present were invited on the stage in the legion’s hall, and asked to look upon the section of seated veterans. “We told them to take a look at those veterans, and then after the ceremony, we wanted them to go up to them and speak to them and thank them for their services,” he said. “And I think that was the highlight of the whole program.” Some children didn’t wait for Remembrance Day. Smith said he was handing out poppies last week when a little girl came up to him with a yellow rose. “I said, ‘What are you going to do with that rose?’ (She said) ‘My mommy told me to give it to you,’” Smith recalled. “I went up to (her mother) and said, ‘That is very emotional – thank you very much.’ “She said, ‘Well, that’s the least I could do.’”

Proceeds from annual Christmas sale to benefit hospital patients

Shopping for a good cause Grow Holiday Cheer Start your paperwhites for Christmas Bloom

Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Anxious holiday shoppers are expected to be waiting outside First United Church this weekend, when the doors to Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary Society’s annual Christmas sale open. Visitors to the popular two-day event (Nov. 19 and 20 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 15385 Semiahmoo Ave.) can expect to find Christmas trees, decorated wreaths, baskets, garlands, ornaments, baubles, china, linen and an array of other holidaythemed odds and ends. Louise Bartel of the auxiliary’s Aquarius Group – which is organizing the eighth annual fundraiser – said group members have been getting ready for the sale all year by sorting through Christmas items donated to the Superfluity Shop. “We work every week of the year on collecting and repairing

comfort and care at Peace Arch Hospital. “It’s a very worthwhile cause,” Bartel said, noting leftover items will be donated to a refugee services organization in Surrey. “We’d like (the public) to come and buy these items and get a good Christmas feeling knowing the end result will go to the patients at the hospital.”

Those who can’t make it this weekend have a second chance to shop, when another sale is held Dec. 9 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the lobby of Peace Arch Hospital, 15521 Russell Ave.

Surrey Christmas Bureau co-ordinator K.C. Gilroy stands in front of the bureau’s new building.

New site for Christmas Bureau Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Yes, we have Go Bananas! The Surrey Christmas Bureau made the announcement last week that after months of failed negotiations and a last-minute scramble for a space to open its holiday toy depot, it had secured the old Go Bananas location in North Surrey. The former indoor play centre, said the bureau’s new co-ordinator K.C. Gilroy, is optimal in that everyone seemed to know where it is and the building was already painted “Christmas green.” As of Friday, the 6,000-sq.-ft. space housed the bureau’s toy collection and drop-off depot, as well as the registration office. Registration was supposed to have begun at last year’s location at Cedar Hills Plaza. Gilroy said she arrived Nov. 8 to apologize to residents who had already lined up to register, and redirected them to the new spot. “It is late (opening), but we hope we can make up for it by having registration on Saturdays,” she said, noting normally registration would only be available Monday to Friday. Gilroy most recently served as executive director at the Arts Council of Surrey and worked for the City of Surrey prior as a program specialist with heritage services. And while she just started with the Surrey Christmas Bureau in mid-October, the organization is more than familiar to her. Gilroy was the bureau’s director back in 2001.

“It’s something near and dear to my heart,” she said. The Christmas Bureau has been collecting and distributing toys and hampers to those in need for 40 years. More than 1,800 families were helped by the organization last year and this year’s need is expected to be greater. Already, Gilroy has noticed higher demand. “There are going to be people, probably in line for the first time,” she anticipates. “People are calling… saying they’ve never had to get help before.” So far, she says, the community has stepped up with donations, many coming from drop-off bins at local fire halls, but more support is always required. “We sort of wear the Santa hats here, but the real Santas are the ones out there in the community – the ones who adopt a family or give corporate sponsorship,” said Gilroy. The Surrey Christmas Bureau is located at 10277 King George Blvd. Hours are Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., through Nov. 30. Those seeking assistance must reside in Surrey and be a lowincome family with one or more children 15 years of age or under. Government-issued photo identification, a B.C. CareCard for everyone in the family, proof of income for last three months, proof of residence (utility, phone bills) and a letter from spouse certifying joint application are required. For more, phone 604-581-9623. To learn more about adopting a family, phone 604-5859670 or 604-585-9676.

Hydrogen station opens Jeff Nagel Black Press

A new hydrogen fueling station now open in Surrey is powering up hopes the alternative fuel may run everything from cars to trains down the road. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said the new station, in the city’s operations works yard at 66 Avenue and 148 Street, lays the groundwork for greater use of hydrogen fuel in the future and will help the municipality meet its commitment to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 20 per cent by 2020. “As we move away from fossil fuels, we have to look at other alternatives for clean energy,” Watts said last week. “We’ll be testing the technology.” Surrey is using two of just a handful of zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell cars in use in the Lower Mainland but could get more through a partnership with Powertech Labs. The city aims to add 21 alternative-fuel vehicles to its municipal fleet over the next year. The station is the first in Canada to be run by a municipality, although there is one other hydrogen fuel station already in Surrey at Powertech (88 Avenue and 123 Street) and five others in Burnaby (Ballard Fuel), North Vancouver, UBC, Whistler and Vancouver Airport. The two Surrey stations rein-

Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association consultant Ron Harmer said significant numbers of hydrogen-powered cars will start to hit the market by 2015. Adding another fueling station is important, he said, because car companies like Nissan, Daimler and Toyota that will roll out more hydrogen vehicles will look first to cities and regions with adequate infrastructure. The hydrogen for the new Surrey station comes from Powertech’s existing Surrey plant,

where the B.C. Hydro subsidiary electrolyzes water into hydrogen. Because the hydrogen is made in Surrey, it’s counted as cleaner than the hydrogen powering Whistler’s fleet of hydrogen buses, which has to be trucked in from Quebec because of the larger volumes required. A much bigger and greener local source of the fuel could come on stream. Large amounts of hydrogen created as an industrial byproduct at a chemical plant in North Vancouver and now vented into the air may be trapped and collected in the future. “If we’re actually producing it ourselves locally from a waste stream, this is a very cost-effective and clean energy source,” added Surrey transportation advocate Peter Holt. “It’s not pie in the sky any more.” Holt, a director of the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society, thinks hydrogen pumped from the Surrey stations could even fuel the heritage train the society plans to launch on the former Interurban rail route next year. The demonstration project will test a route from Cloverdale to Sullivan (152 Street and 64 Avenue) but Holt said the restored Interurban rail car to be used can run beyond Surrey. “We can go anywhere there’s a track,” he said.

Rule changes may decide new Liberal leader Jeff Nagel Black Press

A tug-of-war between the rural and urban factions of the B.C. Liberal party over voting rules will be critical in deciding the next leader and premier, B.C. political analyst David Schreck says. The party executive is recommending a move away from the current one-party-one-vote system for choosing a leader, to one that would give each of the 85 constituencies equal weight. “The balance of power shifts from the Fraser Valley – Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford – to the

Interior,” Schreck said. “It means a member in Bill Bennett’s riding in the Kootenays would have the power of 100 or 200 members in Surrey.” Schreck said Surrey and Fraser Valley Liberal activists are likely battling behind the scenes to head off the new formula, which must pass by a two-thirds vote of party members at an extraordinary convention Feb. 12. The new system might also deter mass membership sign-ups, he said, because such drives will dilute the weight of members in

that constituency. Still to be determined is the date of the leadership convention, the cutoff date for new members to sign up and vote, and whether they’ll have to pay an additional fee to vote at the convention. The current $10 party membership fee doesn’t give members the right to vote – the constitution says they have to pay a separate fee to actually cast a ballot for leader. “They could say the fee is zero or they could say it’s $100,” Schreck said. “That’s very important.” He said a secondary

fee should also help rein in mass-signups – especially when an organizer signs up and pays for others without their knowledge – as it provides a mechanism for the party to verify a member is legitimate. The party is also expected to make candidates pay a hefty cash deposit to weed out those only seeking publicity, and to significantly increase the current $75,000 leadership campaign spending limit. Education Minister George Abbott’s statement he’ll quit cabinet if he runs highlights another facet

of the race. “If a cabinet minister’s going around the province making announcements on ministry business, he’s

also going to increase his exposure and meet party members who may vote for him,” Schreck said, adding that those outside

cabinet – such as former energy minister Blair Lekstrom or former finance minister Carole Taylor – would be at a disadvantage.

James shrugs off NDP ‘complainers’ Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – NDP leader Carole James says she isn’t concerned about four constituency associations calling for a leadership convention next year. The NDP is holding a meeting of its provincial council in Victoria Nov. 20 and 21, with representatives from all 85 constituencies meeting with the executive and the 33 NDP MLAs. NanaimoNorth Cowichan has joined three other local

party organizations, Fraser-Nicola, Penticton and Cariboo North, calling for the 2011 party convention to be a full-scale leadership contest. “When you’re leader of a political party, there

are always going to be people who disagree with the direction that you’re going,” James said Wednesday. “There are always going to be people who are complainers, who think that they have a

different direction to go.” Party conventions are held every two years, and last year’s event in Vancouver approved a decision to have a vote on James’ leadership at the 2011 convention.

The first recall petition drive to force the B.C. government to get rid of the harmonized sales tax will begin on Nov. 22 in Oak Bay-Gordon Head, Fight HST leader Bill Vander Zalm announced Monday. B.C. Liberal MLA Ida Chong has been among the top targets since Fight HST began its recruitment drive for volunteer canvassers. The anti-tax group says it has more than 200 volunteers in Chong’s riding. Organizers also claim more than 200 volunteers to try to oust Comox Valley MLA Don McRae and nearly as many for Saanich North and the Islands MLA Murray Coell. They plan to pool the volunteers in Oak BayGordon Head first and then move on to the other two constituencies later. “The plan is to hit the riding hard leading up to the holidays, take a short break at Christmas, and then finish the riding petition in the first and second week of January,” Vander Zalm said. In January the petition drive is to start in Comox Valley and Kamloops North, then Cariboo-Chilcotin and Saanich North in February if the HST is still in place. Chong, now minister of science and universities in the B.C. Liberal cabinet, was greeting a delegation of aboriginal leaders from the Kootenays when the announcement came that she would be targeted first. Chong said she will fight back

Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Ida Chong says she will fight recall. against the recall effort, because its real purpose isn’t to protest the HST but to re-fight the last election. She said she will get the message out about all the things she has done for the constituency, “and I think the record will speak for itself.” Fight HST is trying to get about 18,000 signatures of registered voters on a recall petition to force a by-election in Oak Bay-Gordon Head. Vander Zalm has vowed to keep up the pressure on the government until it gets rid of the HST, which went into effect last July. After Premier Gordon Campbell said he will accept a simple majority vote in a referendum on the HST to be held next September, Vander Zalm said he would abandon the recall campaigns if the government moved the date of the referendum up so people could vote down the tax directly.

the scene …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

off the humourous physicality of the piece with panache, well-matched by Diana Coatsworth, adeptly switching characterizations to play all three females in the plot. Scenes are changed – and stolen – at will by skilled players David Marr and Shawn Macdonald, hectically portraying every other character – and a few inanimate objects besides – to brilliantly absurd effect. Tickets are available at 604-687-1644 or visit artsclub.com

Literary open mic Semiahmoo Arts’ literary series presents a series of open mic evenings at Pelican Rouge Coffee House, located at 15142 North Bluff Rd. The next events will be at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 18 and Dec. 9. The events provide an opportunity for writers to read from their own work (there is a time limit of five minutes for each author) and for those who enjoy listening to the works of local writers. Registration for readers begins at 7 p.m. (arrive early to get a spot).

Formed in Fire Semiahmoo Arts gallery, at 90 1959 152 St., presents Formed in Fire, a group show and sale by ceramic artists Peter Daniels, Connie Glover and Don Hutchinson, running to Dec. 1. The full range of practical and decorative functional ceramics will be demonstrated by Hutchinson (former ceramics instructor at Langara), the prolific Daniels (who calculates he has produced more than 70,000 clay works in the course of his career) and ceramicist and mozaid artist Glover, who has been the recipient of many special commissions. For more information, call 604-536-8333.

Uptown Lounge Semiahmoo Arts’ Uptown Lounge at the White Rock Community Centre (Miramar Village, west of the Whale Wall) continues this Friday, Nov. 19, from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Featured entertainer is Petunia (voice, guitar and kazoo; western swing and retro country). The free admission, 19+ event, is designed as a way to start the weekend by relaxing with a drink and live music by some of the Peninsula’s best musicians.

Venue updates White Rock Elks Lodge’s Elvis tribute show, One Night With You, takes place Nov. 20, 8-10 p.m., followed by rock ‘n’ roll with DJ Johnnytwocoats. Tickets are $15 for members and $17 for non-members. West Beach Bar and Grill on Marine Drive features a music video and movie night every Tuesday (also Ladies Night), a regular jam with Glen Pearson and friends Wednesday nights, and acoustic music with Alan Davison every Thurday night.

Small Ritual Coffee Society (on lower Johnston Road at the clock tower) holds an open mic night Thursdays, at 7 p.m. and other live music on a regular basis.

Described as a combination of western swing and retro country, Petunia performs Friday at the Uptown Lounge at White Rock Community Centre.

Arts Foundation (at White Rock’s First United Church) is sold out, the public still has an opportunity to buy tickets for another benefit at Douglas College in New Westminster. That concert will take place on Dec. 13, at 7:30 p.m., at the college’s Laura C. Muir Performing Arts Theatre (700 Royal Ave.). Like the White Rock benefit, the concert will team Ryan with his wife, soprano Viviana Passalacqua (now billed professionally as Viviana Maria di Carlo). Joining them will be their favourite Canadian accompanist, David Boothroyd, in a program of German romantic art songs by Beethoven, Wagner, Mahler and Strauss and arias from German French and Italian romantic opera. Tickets are available through Ryan’s mother, PAF past president Gloria Clinker, at 604-531-6013.

The 39 Steps Distinguished Earl Marriott theatre alumnus Dean Paul Gibson’s hilarious and bravura version of The 39 Steps – based on the novel by John Buchan and the 1935 Alfred Hitchcock film classic – continues until Nov. 21 at the Arts Club’s Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage in Vancouver. Based on the celebrated adaptation by Patrick Barlow, still running after four years in London’s West End, the show employs the power of pure theatre, creative characterization, mime, evocative costumes and lighting and sound effects – and inspired minimalism – to retell the spy thriller with tongue firmly, if affectionately, in cheek. Martin Happer, as adventurer-in-themiddle-of-a-spy-plot Richard Hannay, is suave, suitably mannered and carries

Fraser Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society’s 25th annual Christmas pantomime, Snow White and the Vertically-Challenged Excavators, runs at Surrey Arts Centre (13750 88 Ave.) Nov. 24 to Dec. 5. Directed by club stalwart Robert Newcombe and produced by Reginald Pillay – with a creative team that includes choreographer Carol Seitz, musical director Dann Wilhelm, and wardrobe mistresses Mari- Anne Hussen, Linda O’Donovan and Chris Roberts – it’s a show that promises to emphasize comedy from a group of familiar faces. In addition to Sophie Leroux as Snow White and Amanda Assalone as Prince Charming, the cast includes Norma Rushton as the Wicked Queen, Mike Balser as Dame Miss Heard, Tammy Theis as Yin, Lauren Kyle as Yang, James Walker as the Colonel, Melanie Minty as The Magic Mirror, Paul Rowell as the Gremlin, Justine Ankiewicz as Brown Owl and Rafiki, Joel Hendershott as the King and Nutbush, Megan Kroaker as Hansel and Keira Jang as Gretel, Clive Ramroop as excavator Snoozer and Prince Suavo, and Jeff Christensen as Prince Olgit and excavator Socoy. Playing the rest of the ‘verticallychallenged excavators’ are Rosemary Forst as Snappy, Sam Andrews as Derwat, Maddy Osborne-Wood as Tishoo, Casey Simpson Joynt as Geepee and Sabrielle McCurdy-Foreman as Gleeful.

The key: planning The solution: a qualiﬁed reliable professional

hether you’re starting out your career or getting ready to retire, planning for your future is essential. Making the right planning choices, however – whether they’re related to your Ànances, real estate or health – isn’t always an easy task. Having the help of a reliable, qualiÀed professional when making important planning decisions is imperative. A professional can help you better understand your needs, both long and short-term and guide you towards reaching your goals. When and how should you invest your money? Is now the right time to buy or sell a home? What changes can you make to live a longer, healthier life? A reliable, qualiÀed professional can provide you with clear and realistic answers, at the same time helping to develop a

strategy enabling you to achieve your objectives. But before you can heed the advice of a professional, you need to Ànd the right one. It is essential to ensure you’re doing business or managing your health, with a recognized professional who has the experience and designations necessary to provide you with the best advice possible. In addition to the relevant background, good communication skills — especially the ability to listen – is another key trait to look for when seeking out the help of a professional. Understanding your hopes, fears, objectives and roadblocks will enable a professional to propose the best possible solution in any aspect of life. The following is a guide to help you Ànd qualiÀed, reliable professionals on the Peninsula, ready to help you achieve your Ànancial, real estate and health goals.

Even after all these years I still get “hey aren’t you the crazy blonde lady that used to work at Safeway?” YES I AM. “I know you, you did my wedding in 1999 - you owned White Rock Party Rentals. Right?” RIGHT YOU ARE. “Oh Diane, I remember when you helped my wife with her home care problems, at Gordon Hogg’s ofﬁce, as I recall.” YES SIR. You have a good memory. I also hear: “Hey, didn’t you used to curl at Peace Arch Curling club.” “Aren’t you that singer from L.O.N.” “Are you going to the yearly Nite of Hope fund raiser?””Did I hear you are now a working member of the Kay Hogg Goodwill Auxiliary Group.” and “I guess you get lots of referrals from people you know.” Happily I can answer YES - to all of the above. I thank all of you that made 2010 a wonderful year for my business. I appreciate those of you that I have worked for and look forward to meeting those of you who have yet to call on my services.

No easy access to ALR land: Green from page 37 Rick Green, who notes the ALC still has the ultimate say on any removals of land from the ALR. “It doesn’t give anybody any easy access to get land out of the ALR as I see it.” Green said the the revised document strikes a fair balance and now has the support of his council after a series of revisions – particularly the creation of the study areas. Others think the document still doesn’t give municipalities enough autonomy. Coquitlam Coun. Brent Asmundson voted against the plan, on grounds it could hand too much control over local matters to the regional board. Maple Ridge council has also demanded assurances that Metro will extend regional sewer lines to serve its planned Thornhill neighbourhood, which is designated general urban and within the plan’s urban containment boundary. Vancouver planning advocate Elizabeth Murphy has also cautioned the board that the strategy gives TransLink too much power over land use. Higher density growth is to be concentrated in urban centres and in frequent transit development areas. The plan also priorizes new rapid transit lines, calling for construction of the Evergreen Line and then expansion south of the Fraser ahead of a line running all the way to UBC. Four public hearings take place Nov. 24 in Coquitlam, Nov. 30 in North Vancouver, Dec. 1 in Surrey and Dec. 2 at Metro headquarters in Burnaby.

Under Metro Vancouver’s new plan for land use, farmland may be at risk of being lost to development, according to Harold Steves. See http://www.metrovancouver.org/planning/development/ strategy/ for details. The plan has been in the works for years – it’s the third draft tabled since 2007 – and would replace the outdated Livable Region Strategic Plan. Most of the planks are similar and recommit the region to fight sprawl, protect green space and farmland, and build more dense, mixed-use neighbourhoods to allow more travel by transit, cycling or walking. Most civic leaders agree the goals are good but their cashstrapped municipalities are simultaneously under pressure to raise more tax money, usually from new development. A previous round of consultation heard calls for tough regional controls on cities, but Metro offi-

cials concede the final document has softened to accommodate local cities in a bid to reach a new political consensus. The growth strategy projects Metro Vancouver’s population will grow by about 50 per cent to 3.4 million by 2041, by which time Surrey is expected to have grown to 740,000, matching Vancouver.

Peewee, bantam squads fall in first-round of postseason

Titans to battle Mission in playoff tilt Nick Greenizan Black Press

The White Rock-South Surrey Titans midget squad is the last of the locals left on the gridiron as they prepare this week for a first-round home playoff game against the Mission 9ers. Three White Rock-South Surrey squads qualified for the post-season – the peewee White Titans and the bantam Titans were the others – but both lost their first-round tilts last weekend. The peewee squad fell 39-0 to the topseeded Coquitlam Wildcats – who were undefeated in the regular season – while the bantam Titans were downed 32-7 by the Cowichan Bulldogs Sunday at South Surrey Athletic Park. The peewee group qualified for the playoffs two weekends ago, with a convincing 48-7 victory over the Cloverdale Lynx. The midgets, meanwhile, spent last Sunday completing their regular-season schedule, which they wrapped up at West Vancouver’s Carnarvon Park with a 58-0 win over an undermanned Westside Warriors team. The win gave the Titans sole possession of second place in the Vancouver Mainland Football League’s 17-team midget division with an 8-2 record. And while it’s nice to head into the playoffs on a high note, Titans coach John Martins said it was nice just to be able to get on the field at all – the team’s last game was Oct. 24. Sunday’s game nearly didn’t happen either, as Westside was undermanned nearly to the point of not having enough players to field a team. In the end, however, they cobbled together a patchwork lineup. “It was nice to win, sure but just nice to have a game – any game,” Martins said. “It’d been a long time. A break is nice to rest and heal up injuries, but a month would’ve been too long.” With such a lopsided result, Martins was able to rest a number of his starters by game’s end, and came away thrilled with the performances of his younger, second-string players, many of whom don’t see a lot of playing time, save for special-teams duty. Such performances will no doubt help the team come the post-season, when lineup depth is always a bonus. “Some of those guys really played well – the work of that second unit, they’re all pitching in,” Martins said. “The coaching staff is working hard, the players – all of them – are working hard, it’s looking really good. “It’s sometimes tough to be on that second

You don’t always play a whole lot, but you have to be ready because you never know when your number is going to be called.” The team’s second-place finish is especially impressive considering two years ago the Titans didn’t even field a midget team. Martins was tasked with resurrecting the program for the 2009 season, and he’s quick to credit

the club’s executive for the quick turnaround. “Everything our team has asked for – whether it’s been practice time, or film time, whatever – they’ve helped us with. The executive and our president, Lisa (LeMoignan) have been great,” Martins said. The Titans will face a tough test Sunday, when they host seventh-seeded Mission, who finished the regular season 6-3-1. In the first

week of the season, Mission edged the Titans 17-14. But White Rock is a different, more experienced team now, Martins said, and they head into the contest cautiously optimistic that they’ll be able to advance. “I’d say our guys are comfortable – not overconfident – with the way they’re playing,” he said.

Sports Reporter

After a loss, most athletes will tell you they’d prefer to play again immediately – and have less time to stew over a tough defeat. Unfortunately for the Surrey Eagles, they were afforded no such luxury – they didn’t play at all last weekend, after losing a tough Remembrance Day tilt, 4-3 in overtime, to the visiting Nanaimo Clippers. And while rest is always nice over the course of a long season, this Friday’s home game against the Powell River Kings – the second meeting of the season between the two clubs – likely can’t come soon enough. “It’s nice to get the rest in the long-term, but the loss hurts, for sure,” said Eagles coach Matt Erhart Monday. “But it’s been a few days now and I think the guys have forgotten about it, and are focused on this weekend.” Thursday against Nanaimo, the Eagles scored twice in the first period – with leading scorer Brad McGowan and blue-liner Josh Monk finding the back of the net – but the Clippers tallied once in all three periods, led by Graeme McCormack, who scored twice. Trailing 3-2 with 2:35 left in the game, the Eagles sent the game to overtime when McGowan scored his second of the game, but 3:41 into the extra frame, Nanaimo’s Andrew Gladiuk scored to give the visiting team the win. New acquisition Karel St. Laurent – picked up last week from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League – was between the pipes for the Eagles, stopping 31 shots. And though they had a relatively light on-ice schedule last week, head coach Matt Erhart has stayed plenty busy in the trade market, first bringing in puckmoving defenceman Steve Koshey from the Trail Smoke Eaters in

Gustafson, Harland Theodore Feb. 13, 1944 - Nov. 4th, 2010 Harley died peacefully in Peace Arch Hospital with his family by his side. Harley was predeceased by his ﬁrst wife Suzanne and their daughter Harlene, Dad Harold and Nephew Allan. Harley will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by mother Christine & his beautiful children, Jeanine, Christine, Karsten, step-daughters Nicole and Nicole, grandchildren, Jessica (Tim), Garion and Jacqueline, and 1 Great Granddaughter Leila. Harley also leaves behind 6 siblings Lois, Rod (Terrilynne), Sharon, Jim (Linda), Barbara, (Rick) and Karen, his many nieces, nephews and numerous great nieces and great nephews. Aunts Thordis and Tini and many cousins and friends. Harley was raised in White Rock and stayed to build a home and happily raise his family. His love of stock car racing won him many trophies. He had a sharp mind, a quick wit and loved having the last word. Growing up, Harley beat everyone at Monopoly, owning most of the board. This evolved to him becoming a successful Realtor owning White Rock Realty where he was known to be generous and giving to his agents and loved to entertain and had a ready hug for all. He willingly shared what he had and gave so much that was unknown to the recipients. He enjoyed great years and owned numerous properties but, the high interest of the 80’s were devastating for him and he experienced far too many losses and heart breaking tragedies that he found hard to overcome. He still enjoyed Real Estate sales but was happiest driving and being with a road construction crew until he retired. Please join us to celebrate his life and share our memories on Sunday November 21, 2010 at 2 pm at the White Rock Legion, 2260 152 St, Surrey. Harley will be laid to rest beside his daughter, Harlene, and our Dad at Victory Memorial Park Cemetery. You will always be in our hearts Harley, Rest in Peace, Love your family
