Economic committee advises $3/hr rate eight months of year on waterfront
More changes in store for pay parking Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Beachfront visitors will get a permanent break on winter pay parking, if White Rock council approves the latest suggestion of the city’s economic committee. But free parking for any period of time – as
happened on a pilot basis in 2008 and 2009 – remains off the table. Committee members – who include elected officials and others – voted unanimously Thursday to recommend the city charge $1 per hour to park along Marine Drive from Nov. 1 to Feb. 28, the same period that free
Monday-to-Thursday parking rates were in effect for in the past two years. The suggestion also calls to expand the seasonal $3/hour parking rate to include all of the remaining eight months, as opposed to just four. The shift, which would eliminate the $2/
hour schedule currently in place for the off-season, is anticipated to help waterfront merchants, who have expressed concern in the past about the impact of pay parking during an already slower business period. And while the reduced rate would drop the � see page 4

Survivor-style competition to choose three MLAs to target
Hogg dropped from Fight HST’s recall ‘hit list’ Tom Fletcher Black Press
The recall campaign against selected B.C. Liberals is alive and well, but local MLA Gordon Hogg (Surrey-White Rock) is no longer a target. Fight HST organizers confirmed Monday that they are backing away from their long-promised “total recall” MLA Gordon Hogg campaign, in which Hogg had previously been included on the 24-person no longer a target recall ‘hit list.’
Instead, they say they will start with three recall petitions in January, selected from a list of 18 MLAs chosen for their vulnerability. Petition organizers in each riding will vie for the privilege of leading the recall campaign in a competition similar to the TV show Survivor, Fight HST organizer Chris Delaney said at a news conference in Vancouver. The top three constituencies signing up volunteer canvassers will get to go first.
Support Your Local Economy Spend Your Money At Home
Further “cascading” recalls will proceed one per month, until the B.C. Liberals either move to get rid of the tax, or they lose their seven-seat majority in the legislature, Delaney said. The Fight HST “hit list” of 18 MLAs includes Finance Minister Colin Hansen in Vancouver-Quilchena, but not Premier Gordon Campbell in Vancouver-Point Grey. Former premier Bill Vander Zalm said that is because he expects Campbell to retire soon.
The other MLAs targeted for recall include Donna Barnett (CaribooChilcotin), Ida Chong (Oak Bay-Gordon Head), Terry Lake (KamloopsNorth Thompson), John Slater (Boundary-Similkameen), Marc Dalton (Maple Ridge-Mission), Bill Bennett (Kootenay East), John Les (Chilliwack), Bill Barisoff (Penticton), Steve Thomson (KelownaMission), John Rustad (Nechako Lakes), Ron Cantelon (Parksville-Qualicum), � see page 4

FRESH BAKED EUROPEAN SPECIALTY BREADS
Soccer team looks at Fraser Downs site
Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Negotiations are underway to bring the Vancouver Whitecaps FC to Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino, Black Press has learned. The city is currently talking with the team about locating a soccer training facility at the city-owned property, which is currently home to the harness racing track, a casino and the annual Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition. The Whitecaps are currently playing games at Swangard Stadium in Vancouver and training at SFU in Burnaby. Surrey wants to move that training facility here. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts last week would not discuss specifics, but confirmed talks are ongoing. “At this point in time, all I can say is we’re in discussions,” Watts said. There is also $17 million in provincial money available for the creation of the facility, which would also serve as a training centre for international soccer. The survival of harness racing at Fraser Downs has been in doubt of late, as racing days this year have been cut, and next year’s schedule is yet to be determined. MLA Kevin Falcon (Surrey-Cloverdale) wants the city’s standardbred track to go wherever it needs to in order to survive. But he wants the casino to stay right where it is.
The ministry in charge of gaming said races at Vancouver’s Hastings Park (which features thoroughbred racing) and Fraser Downs (standardbred) may merge. The president of the BC Lottery Corp. told a Vancouver newspaper in April that if either track (Hastings Park or Fraser Downs) closes or relocates, the slot machines at each respective facility will go as well. Falcon has issue with that. “I would argue that that is not going to be the case,” Falcon said Thursday. “That will be a decision that I can assure you is going to be made after I, as MLA, have an opportunity to sit down with the minister responsible and make sure any decision that is being made is defensible and justifiable.” A well-placed source said the casino has been in discussions over relocating to another site in the city, one of them at 54A Avenue near 152 Street, north of Colebrook Road. Watts would not confirm any such discussion. Falcon said he’ll want to see compelling evidence that the casino has to be moved. “I am not going to acquiesce to a wholesale move unless I believe it’s in the best interest of Surrey and Cloverdale in particular,” Falcon said. “I happen to believe it’s a great location on Highway 15, which is a four-lane freeway to one of the busiest borders in the country.”
‘Targeted’ shooting in S. Surrey Surrey RCMP is looking for witnesses after gun shots rang out in a South Surrey neighbourhood Sunday morning in what police are describing as a targeted shooting. “It is very clear to us that is is a targeted incident,” Const. Peter Neily said. “There is absolutely nothing to indicate it is random.” Officers responded to the area of 165 Street and 8 Avenue around 2:45 a.m. Sept. 19, after callers reported hearing multiple shots fired, Neily said. Police noted damage to one home, and

shell casings were found at the scene, he said. No one was injured. Citing the ongoing investigation, Neily would not disclose how many shell casings were recovered, if anyone was home at the time or why police are certain the incident was targeted. One individual – described as wearing a black hoodie, black jeans and white runners – was seen fleeing the area on foot, he said. Anyone with information is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502. - Tracy Holmes

Long-vacant lot leased to service organization
Rotarians hope to strike parking riches Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A long-empty lot at the corner of Johnston Road and Russell Avenue is now a business venture for the Peninsula’s newest Rotary club – one members say will reap benefits both locally and around the globe. Rotary Club of White Rock Peninsula signed a lease with Imperial Oil – which owns the land – in the summer to operate the space as a pay-parking lot. The three-year-old club struck a “very attractive” five-year lease, invested $5,000 in readying the lot for the cause and opened it for business Sept. 11, said Garry McIntosh,
club vice-president. Due to the contamination, it has sat largely Fees collected – $2 per hour, or a monthly idle for more than a decade. rate of $50 – will go to local and international And while concerns have been raised that community projects.

The lot is the former site of a gas station. “It’s like Field of Dreams. We’re building it
and we’re hoping they will come,” he said. Club president Bruce Kleeberger estimated it will be another 20 years before the property can be developed, as Imperial has no plans to remediate it. Rotary does plan to “beautify” the site, he added. The property is the only pay-parking lot in uptown White Rock. McIntosh described the rates as “phenomenally economical,” particularly compared to those charged in Downtown Vancouver. “Why not park so your money goes to a worthy cause?” For information on monthly passes, call Dennis Williams at 604-541-8190.
Terry Fox inspires
‘Drowned rats’ persevere Despite torrential rains that pelted the Peninsula Sunday morning, more than 200 residents laced up and took part in the Terry Fox Run at South Surrey Athletic Park. “It went very well. The good news was the rain held off at first, so it didn’t keep people away, but then once things got underway, it just rained buckets,” said event organizer Van Scoffield, a member of the Rotary Club of White Rock. It rained so hard, Scoffield said, that former run organizer Douglas Brown told him it was the wettest Terry Fox Run he’d seen in 14 years it had been staged in South Surrey. “A lot of people looked like drowned rats by the end of it all, but nobody seemed to mind,” Scoffield said. “I was really quite worried that the weather would turn people away.” Participants ranged from runners and walkers to cyclists, he said, noting “strollers aplenty.” While an exact tally has not yet been calculated, Scoffield figured the event raised about $10,000. – Nick Greenizan

Johnston returns to provincial politics, eyes Watts Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Canada’s first female premier has taken a tactical position with the B.C. Conservatives out of frustration over the Liberals’ handling of the harmonized sales tax. “The Liberals were falling apart, and I certainly knew I couldn’t vote NDP,” Rita Johnston said in a phone interview last week. “It wasn’t hard to accept the invitation to join with the B.C. Rita Johnston Conservatives.” Johnston will one-time premier be taking on a role with the party’s Tactical Advisory Group. “I’ve already been in touch with a lot of my old supporters and asked if they would join with us in trying to pull together a strong B.C. Conservative party.”
One person she hadn’t talked to yet was an old family friend – Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts. It’s a call, Johnston acknowledges, that would likely take place. “She’d be great (as leader),” Johnston said. “I haven’t had a chance to
talk to her.” Johnston acknowledged Watts would have to be convinced the party had “half a chance” before she’d commit to it. Watts told Black Press the week before that she would not run for
the provincial Liberals, despite ongoing speculation. However, when asked if she would make the same refusal for the B.C. Conservatives, she would only say: “I certainly haven’t had any conversations in that regard.”
Higginbotham considers civic comeback Judy Higginbotham is considering a return to civic politics. Higginbotham – a 25-year veteran on Surrey council – said she’ll take the next few months to decide whether she’ll run in next year’s municipal election. Higginbotham has been semi-retired since she lost a bid as the federal Liberal candidate for South SurreyWhite Rock-Cloverdale in 2008. While she told Black Press she is just giving a civic return consideration, Higginbotham’s pitch had the sound of someone who is leaning toward running. “I’ve got name rec (recognition), I could use ‘re-elect’ (on election signs),” Higginbotham said last week. Higginbotham said Surrey needs to become a destination city, which means competing with Vancouver. “I think we need a stadium, that we can seat 25,000 in, I think we need our own theatre company.”
She said she brings a mix of attributes that would be good for this city. “I’ve always stood for fiscal responsibility, I’ve always stood for law and order… there’s a lot of things I think I can make a difference in,” Higginbotham said. “Some things, since I’ve left council, have fallen by the wayside. Number one is heritage.” Higginbotham said she isn’t planning to take a run at the mayor’s chair – yet. “I don’t think I’d want to run against Dianne (Watts) at this point, she’s pretty entrenched… if she stepped aside, there might be another reason to look at that position.” It’s also been rumoured that former mayor Doug McCallum may make a come back next fall, but he told Black Press Friday that he has no such intention. – Kevin Diakiw
When asked about it again last week, Watts said it’s too early to make any assurances regarding the B.C. Conservatives. “That’s so premature to even talk about,” Watts said. The B.C. Liberals and leader Gordon Campbell have taken a beating in public opinion polls over their handling of the controversial HST. Many believe the situation could leave the door open for a centreright alternative, which could be the B.C. Conservatives. Johnston is the first high-profile addition to the party. She began her political career as a Surrey alderman from 1967 until she was elected to the B.C. legislature in 1983 as Social Credit MLA for Surrey. In 1986 she was appointed minister of transportation and highways with responsibility for B.C. Ferries, B.C. Transit and B.C. Rail. She became premier in April 1991 and served until November that same year.

‘Hot-market’ pitch disputed SUPERMARKET Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A South Surrey developer “corneredâ€? into offloading unsold inventory at below-market prices says consumers are being misled to believe the housing market is stronger than it really is. “In contrast to this situation, which is clearly indicative of a sagging market, realtors‌ are blogging about how ‘hot’ the market is,â€? reads a statement issued Monday by Watermark Developments. “Some realtors are putting the wrong perception out there,â€? explained Salome Sallehy, hired to help facilitate a sale this weekend at Watermark’s 2970 King George Blvd. project.
“Inventory is just not moving because the market isn’t willing to bear those prices. Developers aren’t really acknowledging that.� At least one industry expert disputes the claim the market is sagging. While Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association’s Peter Simpson acknowledges the market isn’t as strong as it had been in recent years, housing starts are double what they were a year ago, he said. “I’ve got a laundry list of developers that are launching new projects this fall. They’ve got a lot of confidence in the market,� Simpson said. Watermark will offer 37 units for sale at noon Saturday, with prices ranging from $199,000 to about
$320,000. The one- and twobedroom units have sat empty since construction finished a year ago, and comprise almost half of the development, Sallehy said. The prices represent a discount of about 35 per cent off of what the units were sold for during presales in 2006, Sallehy said. While Simpson criticized the way the offer is being marketed – saying the language of the news release “smacks of bitterness� – he said if the homes are sound, it may be a good opportunity for first-time home-buyers. “If these are good prices in a good location, that’s one thing,� he said. “The buyer needs to do their homework to investigate the track record of the builder.�

Alexa inspires change Black Press
Canada’s toughest penalties for impaired driving and excessive speeding took effect across B.C. Monday. The Motor Vehicle Act amendments were announced in May, in response to an increase in drunkdriving cases and in honour of 4½-year-old Alexa Middelaer, who was struck and killed by an impaired driver in May 2008. Now, police have the option of imposing an immediate penalty on anyone who fails a roadside breath test. Instead of issuing a 24-hour suspension, officers can impose a 90-day driving ban, a $500 fine and impound the vehicle for 30 days. The fee for reinstating a suspended licence increased from $100 to $250, and drivers will be billed $700 for towing and 30 days of vehicle impoundment. Failing a roadside test also means mandatory participation in B.C.’s
Hit-and-run driver turns himself in A 32-year-old Surrey man turned himself in to the South Surrey RCMP detachment at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, a day after the mother of a victim killed in a hitand-run made a plea for the perpetrator to come forward. The suspect won’t be named until charges are approved by Crown counsel. Police say the man has twice been convicted for impaired driving since 2005. On Feb. 4, 19-yearold Shamus MacKay got off a bus on Fraser Highway just east of 168 Street and was struck by a newermodel Volkswagen City Jetta. After striking MacKay, the vehicle fled eastbound. – Kevin Diakiw
“responsible driver program” – at a cost of $1,420. The changes mean one failed roadside test could cost a driver $3,750 before they can drive again, and that is before any Criminal Code charges and suspensions that may also result. A blood alcohol reading in the “warn” range, between 0.05 and 0.08 per cent, can result in a threeday driving ban, a $200 “administrative penalty” and another $250 fee to have a driver’s licence reinstated. Drivers may also have their car impounded for three days and be billed for towing and storage. A second test in the “warn” range within five years carries a seven-day suspension and possible vehicle impoundment, and penalties totaling $550. A third means the vehicle is impounded for 30 days, along with $650 in penalties and a mandatory responsible driver program and an alcohol-sensing ignition interlock for a year.
Drivers caught exceeding the speed limit by 40 km/h, street racing, excessively tailgating or doing reckless tricks such as motorcycle “wheelies” will also face increased penalties. Vehicles can be impounded for seven days after one offence, 30 days for a second offence within two years and 60 days for a third offence. That’s on top of existing penalties for excessive speeding, which include fines up to $483, three penalty points and an annual driver-risk premium of $320 on the next three years of car insurance. Alexa’s mom Laurel Middelaer, who is head of Southridge Junior School, has described the changes as exactly what her family had proposed and hoped for. “To us, it’s all about safety,” she said when the changes were announced, acknowledging not everyone viewed the amendments as a positive step.

Fundraising for brighter futures
F
or most parents, juggling home and work demands, paying regular household bills, and making room for quality family time with the kids are demands that keep them hopping. Consider then the plight of Surrey’s Sears family, who on top of all the usual obligations, must cope with a serious medical condition. Little Mason Sears, at just two years old, has spent more time in and out of hospital than many of us will spend in a lifetime. In the months after he was born, doctors were perplexed by his worsening malnutrition. It took many medical visits – and perseverance on the part of his parents Nick and Dana – to finally identify the cause: dysphagia, a condition that causes any swallowed liquids to end up in Mason’s lungs. While relieved at the discovery, Mason’s parents soon discovered the dark side of the disclosure. The costs of a special feeding tube and food that is pumped directly into Mason’s stomach have plunged the Sears deeply into debt. The expenses are around $100 a day, or $36,500 a year, and Mason’s feeding system needs a constant supply of bags, tubes, syringes and valves. As a result, in the last two years, Nick and Dana lost their home and moved to a onebedroom apartment – all while expecting their third child Carter, now one. (Mason’s older brother Joshua is four). What’s more, they had exceeded the financial limits of their bank and extended family. Enter Variety – The Children’s’ Charity of B.C. The non-profit organization works to build better futures for kids with special needs. Last October, Variety provided a one-year funding grant for the family and purchased Mason’s feeding pump. This helped cover almost half of Mason’s annual medical costs. This month, Variety is promoting its annual Kids Coin Drive, which sees children who have been helped by the charity – such as Mason –promoting the fundraiser. “The only way we felt could help is by helping other kids,” said a grateful Dana, who hopes to raise $10,000 by Oct. 31. White Rock firefighters are also raising money for Variety; a number of them took part in the Shore2Shore cross-country cycling journey, which began in Halifax Sept. 8 and ended in White Rock Tuesday afternoon.

the HST the way they did against the carbon tax. Their latest suggestion that Campbell should go cap in hand to the federal government, asking it to bail out B.C. by reversing the HST and forgiving the $1.6-billion transition fund, is a childish fantasy. NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston made another embarrassing admission last week. He and his colleagues collected signatures in support of Vander Zalm’s “HST Extinguishment Act,” without giving much thought to its demand that the tax be scrapped and every person in B.C. be paid back for their incremental sales tax costs. Ralston now admits it would be all but impossible to calculate, much less pay everyone’s refund. He suggested the refunds could be estimated for various income levels, and Ottawa could be asked to pitch in for that too. Sure, they can just print some more money and ship it out west. Reporters tried to pin Hansen down last week on the issue of paying HST refunds if the tax is abandoned. He stopped short of ruling it out entirely, but after Campbell’s bold gamble to lower the bar for the referendum to 50 per cent, it’s clear there can be no refunds, estimated or otherwise. To commit to refunds now would be to send a clear message to voters ahead of the referendum on Sept. 24, 2011: get out and vote “No” to the HST and the B.C. government will send you a nice cheque.

Prices of gas, liquids matter Editor: Re: Gas rises higher here, Aug. 27 letters. Letter-writer Bill Phelps said gas prices on the Peninsula are higher than anywhere else in the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and Whistler – noting he pays $25 a tank less across the U.S. border. I was just thinking the same thing, as I paid $1.177 per litre. Incredible. Here’s an even a better one. A couple of weeks ago, I was down in Bellingham and I saw that one store was featuring Kokanee beer, a case of two dozen for $17.95. So, I went to the government liquor store here to compare, and a case of only one dozen costs $24. Is that not unbelievable? After all, it is brewed in B.C. Kevin Blake, White Rock

Kindness appreciated Editor: It is very heartening to realize there are still Good Samaritans around. My daughter had a fall on the sidewalk last week, and a woman who was walking nearby stopped to assist her by calling me at work and arranging for her husband to
come and drive my daughter to the hospital. Unfortunately, we did not get the woman’s name, but want to thank her and her husband very much for their kindness and assistance. I am very grateful for their help and hopefully they will read this letter and know how much we appreciate what they did. Barbara Pim, White Rock ■ Many thanks to the wonderful person who found my car keys on Winter Street in White Rock on Sept. 11 – the date did not go unnoticed. I was so shocked to find them neatly tuck into my windshield wiper, I burst into tears. That random act of kindness was twofold: I will remember 9-11 in a whole new light, and I love telling everyone who will listen how wonderful the experience was. I hope your life is rich with many returns on your good deed. Carole Stevens, Richmond

E. coli not our only problem Editor: It appears, finally, a light is being shone on B.C.’s dirty little secret: its sub-standard drinking water systems. B.C.’s pristine fresh-water supply is a myth. The recent E. coli contamination of White Rock’s well water has made local residents all too aware of this fact. But as it turns out, E. coli is just one of many reasons for concern. According to a 2008 annual report on White Rock’s water supply, 24 per cent of samples taken from the city’s distribution system in 2007 had arsenic concentrations that exceeded the province’s maximum acceptable concentration of 0.01 mg/l. Arsenic, which has been linked to cancer, is colorless, tasteless and odourless. For some people, it might be out of sight, out of mind. But arsenic, even in miniscule amounts, is toxic, and concentrations below the province’s recommended standard still pose a grave threat. What will it take for residents, local leaders and governments to finally take swift and decisive action? We do not yet fully know the consequences of long-term exposure to arsenic. We may not know for 10, 15, 20 years. But by then, it might be too late for the people of B.C.

HST referendum passes the buck Editor: I have yet to meet anybody who is in favour of any increase in taxes – HST or otherwise. Politicians are not just voted in to make the “feel good” decisions but are also expected to make the tough and usually unpopular decisions. If we don’t like their policies or decisions, we can always vote them out. However, it seems they are passing the buck when setting up a referendum on the HST. Referendums are now the norm in California where they also wanted to increase taxes. The answer in a referendum was a resounding ‘No.’ California is now issuing IOUs to subcontractors, laying off public service workers and the state is close to bankruptcy. G. Reid, Surrey
For opposition’s sake
This HST referendum has got to be farce. I’ll wager a lot – maybe a third or even a half – were members of opposition parties and just used the referendum as an excuse to try and bring down the government. The HST didn’t mean a thing to them. Art Rose, White Rock
Bench the coach Re: Campbell criticism ‘hurts B.C.,’ Sept. 8. Politics and sports… interesting analogy. With respect to White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg, I, too, have been involved in sports for a good part of my life and cannot recall a single time when a coach has chosen to cheat or lie for the benefit of the team. But if a coach did indeed choose to act in an
unscrupulous way, does that team still deserve to win? Apparently, Team B.C. doesn’t think so! With the exception of a couple of star players, the only thing that hurts British Columbia is Team Liberal and Coach Campbell. John Freeman, White Rock
Fact finding Re: A place to rant, Sept. 15 letters. In response to letter-writer Daryl Sturdy: As I stated in my first letter to the editor (Ramblings uncalled for, Sept. 8), I believe everyone has the right to their opinions, thoughts and feelings. Having stated this twice now, my point was that letter-writer Jean Moffat (Not high on MLA Hogg, Sept. 8) stated little or no facts. I would like to state also that I am not a Gordon Campbell follower. My husband and I both work in the community social-service sector and have been affected greatly by Campbell’s cutbacks. I see on a day-to-day basis how cutbacks are affecting people with disabilities. These are facts, Mr. Sturdy. Not a rant but facts. I could go on and on about how I actually feel, but what would be the point? What would it accomplish? I would rather read about true facts, especially while we are sitting on this political hotbox. I want more information on our political leaders to help me make my decision about the party I want to back. So, if you or Moffat have information – true facts – about MLA Gordon Hogg or any other political leader, please share them with the rest of us. But leave all the rest of it in the trash.

Abby murder victim named Vikki Hopes Black Press
A man murdered in Abbotsford last week was the father of one of the men killed in the Surrey Six slayings. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) identified Thavone Narong, 49, of Abbotsford as the man fatally shot Thursday morning. He is the father of Eddie Narong, who was among the six victims – including two innocent people, Chris Mohan of Surrey and Ed Schellenberg of Abbotsford – shot and killed Oct. 19, 2007 in a Surrey apartment tower. Four men, including Jamie Bacon, are awaiting trial on murder charges in connection to that case.
IHIT spokesman Cpl. Dale Carr said investigators are now trying to track down all associates of Thavone Narong to gather more information. “There is nothing to suggest that this homicide has any links to the Surrey Six investigation, other than the fact that the two victims are related,” he said. No suspect has yet been arrested. Carr said Narong was staying at a home on Charles Court in Abbotsford with a person he was in an apparent relationship with. Provincial court records show he was scheduled to go to trial on Tuesday in Abbotsford on four charges – possession of a firearm, assault with a weapon and two counts of uttering threats.
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2010
Police were called to the home on Thursday after receiving reports of shots fired at about 6:30 a.m. A neighbour said the male driver of a Toyota Camry was seen pulling out of the driveway when a man in a dark-coloured hoodie approached and fired several rounds. It is believed the shooter fled the scene on foot. After the driver was shot, the Camry hit a red Mustang parked across the street. One neighbour said there had been numerous people coming and going from the house, and two police cars were at the home earlier this week. Anyone with information on the murder is asked to call the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-4448.

Don’t save HST receipts
STORE WIDE SAVINGS ON BEDS & MATTRESSES
Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – Don’t bother gathering up all the receipts that show harmonized sales tax you paid on haircuts and restaurant meals, in hopes of getting reimbursed for them a year from now. That’s the advice from Finance Minister Colin Hansen, who says it would be all but impossible to do what former premier Bill Vander Zalm’s anti-HST petition calls on the government to do. The petition’s proposed “HST Extinguishment Act” demands that the old seven per cent provincial sales tax be reinstated retroactive to July 1, 2010, and that B.C. residents be reimbursed “on a per capita basis” for any HST they paid in excess of the provincial tax. Hansen said last week that his government will undo the HST if that is what the people vote to do in a referendum next September, but he has no intention of trying to sort through millions of big and small transactions. “In my opinion it would not be responsible for any government or any legislature to commit to passing the HST Extinguishment Act as it is currently drafted,” Hansen said Sept. 14. The anti-HST petition is now
Black Press
A B.C. Supreme Court judge has rejected former premier Bill Vander Zalm’s claim that harmonizing the provincial and federal sales tax is a violation of Canada’s constitution. Vander Zalm hired Vancouver lawyer Joe Arvay to argue that B.C. can’t surrender its authority to collect taxes to Ottawa, because to do so would be a form of “taxation without representation.” Arvay also pointed out that the Atlantic provinces passed specific laws to authorize the HST, but the B.C. legislature only passed a law to repeal its seven per cent provincial sales tax. Without the explicit consent of the B.C. legislature, Arvay argued that the HST contract between Ottawa and Victoria is invalid. B.C. government lawyers responded that the 12 per cent HST is not the imposition of a new tax, but rather a modification of the existing tax that combines administration in the national interest. In a decision released Friday, Chief Justice

Finance Minister Colin Hansen says people will learn more about the harmonized sales tax before a referendum on Sept. 24, 2011. scheduled to go to a provincewide referendum on Sept. 24, 2011, in the first use of B.C.’s 15-year-old citizen initiative legislation. Premier Gordon Campbell announced the day before that if the referendum produces a simple majority of voters who want to scrap the HST, that will be done. But it almost certainly won’t be done the way Vander Zalm is demanding, after residents have paid the HST for 15 months. Sorting through those millions of transactions subject to sales tax would be “extremely difficult,” Hansen said. And then there are
the myriad input credits given to businesses under the HST, as well as HST rebate cheques that are now going out quarterly to about one million B.C. residents at the low end of the income scale. NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston, who helped collect signatures for Vander Zalm’s petition, said he doesn’t know how the government will refund the HST costs as the petition demands. Ralston suggested an estimate of individual HST costs could be prepared for each of a range of incomes, and one-time refunds paid to everyone in the province.

Robert Bauman of the B.C. Supreme Court agreed with the government. “I accept that the HST is taxation for a national purpose with the aim, as submitted by the respondents, of building a stronger economic foundation for Canada and
achieving administrative efficiencies,” Bauman wrote. As for the suggestion that the HST is provincial taxation without provincial representation, Bauman said this is a matter of “political, not legal concern.” Bauman added that
while he finds the HST to be a constitutionally sound effort to improve the tax system and the economy, “I am in no way passing on the merits of the scheme and whether it will achieve its goals. “That burden of proof is for others to bear and the electorate to test.”

South Surrey woman’s cousin serves sentence in Iran

A lecture discussing the imprisonment of seven Baha’i leaders in Iran will be held Oct. 6 at 8 p.m. at Simon Fraser University’s Surrey campus. Hosted by the Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’is of Surrey, the event features Prof. Michael Karlberg, who will examine the Baha’i community’s broader experience of oppression in Iran. The talk will be held in the Westminster Savings Credit Union Lecture Theatre, room SUR 2600, at the university, 250 13450 102 Ave.
Fighting for faith Hannah Sutherland

wo years after the imprisonment of her cousin and six other prominent figures of the minority Baha’i faith in Iran, Farrah Marasco has been dealing with news of their sentencing. Last month’s announcement of 20-year sentences came as a significant blow to the South Surrey resident, who said her cousin, Afif Naeimi, would be 69 by the time the sentence ended. His children would be middle-aged. “This kind of news doesn’t hit you right away,” Marasco said. “It’s after, when you’re doing other things, when you say ‘Wow, I’m happy I’m not in jail in Iran.’ It hits me at different times.” But following international condemnation of the sentences and reports last week that the jail terms have now been reduced to 10 years, Marasco is hopeful directing attention to the situation will cause more change. “We’re speaking against injustice and oppression,” Marasco said. “We want to expose this injustice so hopefully (oppressors) will take notice. It’s not about my cousin, it’s about us as human beings practising compassion, practising openness where we live in South Surrey, in Canada.” For his part, Naeimi tells family members that the prisoners do not fear their situation. Told that Marasco cries every time she thinks of him, Naeimi contrasted his imprisonment to that of an antiapartheid activist. “He said, ‘You know in South Africa, Nelson Mandela went to jail for 27 years? For two years we have been here. Even if I have to give my life for religious freedom in Iran… two years is nothing,’” Marasco said. “They’re strong souls and they know why they’re there.” Marasco first shared her story with Peace Arch News in 2008, when – according to the Baha’i International Community website – Naeimi, four other men and two women had their Tehran homes raided by government intelligence agents before being taken to the notorious Evin Prison. The seven prisoners comprised the entire membership of a co-ordinating committee that saw to the needs of the 300,000 Baha’is in Iran, where the dominant religion is

Islam. After being incarcerated without charge for nearly two years – and being allowed barely one hour’s access to legal counsel – their trial began last January and consisted of six brief court appearances, the Baha’i site states. The defendants faced accusations of espionage, propaganda activities against the Islamic order and the establishment of an illegal administration, among other allegations. All of the charges have been denied. Since the seven were sentenced in August – and transferred from Evin to Gohardasht Prison in Karaj – international cries have been heard
South Surrey resident Farrah Marasco worries about her cousin, shown left (second from right, top row), one of seven prominent figures of the Baha’i faith recently sentenced to 20 years in prison. in Canada, Australia, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the U.K. and the U.S., condemning the action. The European Union and president of the European Parliament also joined the protest. Just last week, on Sept. 16, the Baha’i site reported that lawyers representing the seven were orally informed that the jail terms had been changed to a decade. Marasco learned of the development when contacted by Peace Arch News Thursday. “This is amazing,” Marasco said while teaching at her preschool/kindergarten in Ocean Park. “If that’s happening, there’s hope.” Marasco said she believes international reaction played a role in the change to the sentences, and continued pressure could reduce them further.
“(Iranian officials) know they are being watched. Slowly, slowly, they might release them because they don’t want to lose face,” she said. “That’s the only thing we can do, expose injustice and hopefully somebody down there will listen.” Marasco said the seven prisoners are being persecuted because of their religion, which says humanity is one family, predjudice is destructive and must be overcome, science and religion are in harmony and world peace is the crying need of our time. “These are their beliefs and because of those beliefs, they are in jail,” she said. “They’re not there because they’re political prisoners. They’re there because they’re Baha’is.” Marasco has described her cousin as “the nicest person you could meet,” and remembers him facilitating her visit to Iran in 2004, 26 years after she left her mother country. She moved from Iran when she was 18, before the revolution, when it became the Islamic Republic of Iran. She came to Canada under the sponsorship of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’is of Canada. Marasco, now 52, usually receives monthly updates from relatives in Iran, but they do not give details of her cousin’s condition, fearing their tapped phones could lead to retaliation. “I try not to call very much,” she said, noting she receives her information online. Marasco learned the prisoners are able to see family once a month, but visits aren’t always guaranteed. She also heard of deplorable prison conditions, and worries for the eldest of the seven defendants, Jamaloddin Khanjani, who is 77. “My heart goes out to everybody who is oppressed in Iran… people who are sacrificing their lives for freedom. My heart goes out to everybody who is fighting for freedom and justice.” Marasco said people can help by going to their MPs and spreading awareness about the situation and others like it that are occurring around the world. “Oppression is happening everywhere,” she said. “This happened to be my cousin, but I feel like it’s our responsibility to bring these things to attention.”

Guests representing nine countries – and some even wearing their best balloon hats – attended the Boost International Festival earlier this month. The event, now in its seventh year, raised $12,000.
Event raises $12,000 for Mood Disorders Association of BC
Booth Fest draws diverse crowd Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A fundraiser in support of the Mood Disorders Association of BC brought a world of entertainment, food and culture to a South Surrey backyard. Guests representing nine countries – from Germany and Canada to India and Latvia – got in the spirit at the 7th annual Booth International Festival, helping raise about $12,000 for the cause. The money brings to more than $45,000 the total raised by the festival since it was started by Jim and Ilze Booth in 2003. It was launched by the Booths as a way of combining and sharing two of their biggest passions: world cultures and fundraising for mood disorders. It has become
the largest private fundraiser for the MDABC. Expressing pride for what her parents have inspired, festival co-host Maia Scott said the day has always been about so much more than trying something new. “It’s more about spreading information about the Mood Disorders Association to people, as well as getting rid of the stigma,” she said, noting most people suffering from a mood disorder continue to suffer in silence. The festival atmosphere this year
Purveyors o f Un iqu
was highlighted by Argentinian tango dancers, highland dancers, a bagpiper and, as always, the opportunity to taste fare from around the globe. Attending demonstrates “quite a commitment” by the guests, Scott added. Each donates $50, and must prepare food and wine representative of their chosen country to share with other guests. MDABC’s Vicki Rogers said she is “truly thankful” to the Booths and their extended families for the support. The association has existed for 29 years in large part because of such support, Rogers said by email. “Enjoying the adventures of travelling and sharing with friends, Jim and Ilza Booth… (brought) people together to not only celebrate the multi-cultural make-up of Canada but to acknowledge and accept that mental illness is a strong ribbon that truly connects us all, too,” Rogers writes. MDABC now offers specific groups to meet cultural and ethnic diversity, Roger noted. In the Surrey/White Rock area, there is the White Rock Support Group, a Delta Family-specific Support Group, and Punjabi-Women’s Support Group and Punjabi-Men’s Support Group.

Performers of all types entertained the hundreds of people who braved wet weather last week, at a party hosted by The Shops at Morgan Crossing.
Street party draws crowd to Crossing Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
The pouring rain didn’t stop more than 300 people from celebrating The Shops at Morgan Crossing last week at a Latinthemed party at the South Surrey lifestyle village. Salsa bands, flamenco dancers, stilt walkers and aerial performers were among the entertainment at the event last Thursday evening, which was hosted by project developer Larco Investments Ltd. “We were building on the theme of community and street parties,” property manager Karen Donald explained the following morning. “We just felt the Latin spirit was a fun spirit to embrace. It just spoke of community.” In addition to the large retailers that have been open at Morgan Crossing since earlier this year – including Winners, London Drugs, Thrifty Foods and Golf Town – the festivities also celebrated stores that have recently opened or will be opening
soon. Fashion stores Roots 73, Laura and West 49 all opened officially this past weekend, while Banana Republic Factory Store, Gap Outlet, Mink A Chocolate Cafe and Firefly Hair are due to open this week. Over the next few months, Olsen Europe, Cerealicious Eats, Muse Social Fashion House, Noir Lash Lounge, Dunn’s Tailors and Hudson Madison are also expected to open. One of the final projects for the development is a White Spot set to be built at the corner of 24 Avenue and Croydon Drive, which is due to open next year. Last week’s celebration also included the unveiling of a memorial plaque dedicated to architect Bart Chambers, to be installed on the clock tower in front of Winners. Chambers was one of the principal designers of Morgan Crossing from California-based firm F&A Architects, and passed away unexpectedly shortly after construction began.

Dancing with purpose Staff Reporter
Aspiring salsa dancers – or those simply curious about the Latin dance – have an opportunity to learn a few moves at next month’s Salsa for the Food Bank. The Oct. 23 event starts at 7 p.m. and includes a lesson with instructor Alberto Gonzalez, followed by an evening of dancing at Ocean Park Community Hall, 1577 127 St., all in benefit of White Rock/South Surrey Food Bank. The fundraiser has been organized by four-person group “Kick-Assanas,” one of numerous teams signed up for Bikram Yoga White Rock’s 360 Yogathon, which aims to collect $360,000 for the food bank. The undertaking is a continuation of the studio’s 2008 yogathon – which saw three yogis collect $60,000 – and has teams pledging to complete a combined total of 360 yoga classes throughout the year. Kick-Assanas member Connie Glover said her team – which derived its name from the yoga term ‘asana’ – hopes to bring in around $3,000 for the initiative through the salsa event.
In addition to dance, attendants can enjoy a silent auction, no-host bar and snacks prepared by White Rock restaurant Carmen’s Cantina. “We’re going to (raise) as much as we can,” the South Surrey resident said. “We figure it will be several thousand dollars for the food bank.” Glover said the cause is important considering the number of people who use the food bank despite living in a wealthy community. “It just seems like such a contradiction – here, most people are so comfortable and never know what hunger is and we have so much, yet there are people in our midst who have to go to our food bank. It really should be better funded, I think, than it is,” she said. “It just seems like one of the most important and closest-to-home kind of things that we can get involved in.” Tickets ($20) are available at Sources, 882 Maple St., and Bikram Yoga White Rock, 200-1326 Johnston Rd. Tax receipts can be issued for donations, which are also gratefully accepted, Glover noted. To make a contribution or donate silent auction items, call 604-5316508.

he mere thought of standing up in front of her class used to cause Rosalyn Hansen to shake in her shoes, her cheeks to blush crimson red. Today, she is a confident and articulate public speaker who doesn’t bat an eye Kristyl Clark when asked to address a crowd – whether it’s an audience of five or 500. It was back in 2000, when Hansen, who was working as a teacher at the time, sought out a way of finding self-improvement during the summer break. “It was between a weight-loss group and Toastmasters.” Choosing the latter, Hansen says now that the decision would change her life, for the better. Founded in 1924, the non-profit educational organization operates clubs worldwide for the purpose of helping members improve their communication, public speaking and leadership skills. “I went to an open house and found that a vast majority of people have a huge fear of public speaking, such as I had,” said Hansen, who has since retired from teaching and now serves as president of the White Rock evening club. “The whole experience showed that it was possible to overcome that fear. The absolute power of Toastmasters is being able to bring out the potential… it’s like minor miracles watching people flourish, speaking about what they feel is important in life.” With a motto of “love, laugh and learn,” the club is never dull or pretentious, like some may think, she adds. “Sometimes when you say ‘Toastmasters,’ people conjure up an image of stodgy men in
local flavours
back rooms, wearing waistcoats, smoking cigars and toasting with a glass of sherry. What we are really about is fun and passion, helping people reach their dreams – their full potential. It’s what you put into it that makes it work. Unleash your fear and do it!” For more information about Toastmasters or meeting times and locations, visit www. toastmasters.bc.ca In this week’s edition of Local Flavours, Hansen shares her toasted panini recipe, which she encourages readers to be creative with. “Like a great sandwich, the more you put into Toastmasters, the better it becomes. You can make it fit your tastes, and there all sorts of variations throughout the world.”
Toasted panini Ingredients:
6 ” baguette or focaccia bread 1 garlic clove, peeled, cut in half 2 tbsp. mayonnaise / dijon mustard / pesto sauce 2 slices provolone / mozzarella cheese 2 slices thinly-sliced chicken, turkey or beef ½ red pepper, sliced and roasted ½ red onion, sliced and caramelized 8 -10 young spinach leaves 1 tomato, sliced and seasoned with salt/freshly ground black pepper 2 tbsp. chopped pickled eggplant / artichokes / sundried tomato 1 tbsp. aioli - olive oil/garlic/balsamic vinegar Garnish: olives, caper Berries, basil and/or arugula
Instructions:
Slice bread in half lengthwise, toast till golden brown. Rub toast with clove of garlic. Spread bottom half of toast with choice of sauces. Layer with your favorite cheese, meats, pickles, and/or vegetables. Drizzle aioli. Cover with top half of toast. Grill in a Panini press or serve cold. Cut in half and garnish.

and
In the 10 years that I have been advertising with the Peace Arch News, I have had excellent service. The sales representatives have always been very organized and helpful and cheerful in an otherwise busy environment of current news and deadlines to meet. It’s quite amazing how they visualize my needs, proof the product and deliver the goods on time. I always get the sense that the Peace Arch News is THE community newspaper. This is the newspaper the customers read and that is important to me and my advertising dollars. Since the time I started my dance business 5 years ago, The Peace Arch News was the first advertising media I used and has been the principal advertising tool ever since then...

RUBBISH REMOVAL
and
When I first began advertising with the Peace Arch News in 1997 I was surprised at how quickly this medium allowed my Rubbish Removal business to create a brand for itself. The marketing and creative department helped me create an ad that was effective, visible and accessible as well as keeping the costs affordable. Since this was my first experience advertising my business, I was under the impression that all advertising mediums were equally effective and were destined to drive customers to my door. I was sadly disappointed to find out otherwise. Since establishing Russell’s Rubbish Removal in 1997 I have been approached by countless marketing agents offering me advertising in their respective flyers, magazines, radio, mailout coupons etc. with the promise of widespread exposure that would be “PERFECT” for my business. Needless to say I spent an enormous amount of my advertising budget on inflated demographic costs with fruitless return. The Peace Arch News however has always been an effective medium that reaches members of our community and has been integral in reinforcing relationships with new customers and returning customers. Their costs have always been fair, and the service has always been first class. After advertising for 13 years with certain phone book companies I have realized that excellent service, like the Peace Arch News provides, is a luxury that I have come to really appreciate. Whether you are starting a new business or looking to increase your exposure in the community, the Peace Arch News is the most cost effective, professionally conducted medium to help you promote your business. I look forward to many more years of working with the Peace Arch News. Russell Therrien Owner/Operator Russell’s Rubbish Removal

The Turkey House & Deli is a family owned and operated business which has seen many changes over the past 30 plus years. We’ve changed our name, our product ranges and location and thanks to the Peace Arch News, we’ve been able to keep our customers (new and old) informed as we’ve grown and evolved. We especially appreciate the high impact seasonal sections and features the Peace Arch News creates. At The Turkey House & Deli we have developed a marketing plan that includes major holidays and events. The Peace Arch News consistently delivers outstanding readership of these special features and sections so that we can get the maximum benefit from our advertising. Recently, with the announcement of our new Certified Chef d’Cuisine (C.C.C.) Lloyd McPhee we experienced first hand the impact our ads in the Peace Arch News have. The response was impressive, easily achieving the results we had hoped for. Rita, Klaus & Bonnie Owner, Operators The Turkey House & Deli

Community pulls together for program SAVE THE DATE! Benefiting White Rock South Surrey Community Foundation
Tug of war through jello and a pie-eating contest were some of the highlights at Semiahmoo House Society’s 16th annual picnic, held last week.
Brian Giebelhaus photo
Semiahmoo House Society’s Rec & Leisure Program, for teens and adults with developmental disabilities, received two financial boosts recently. Last month, Coast Capital Savings gave $5,000 to support opportunities for SHS clients to participate in a variety of creative and social experiences. Last week, M&M Meat Shop added $500 to the pot, money raised through recent barbecue fundraisers at the South Surrey store. The latter funds will be directed towards instruments for the growing Rec Rockers Band and Musical Theatre programs. The Rec & Leisure program receives no government funding. The recent donations “will go a long way in helping to meet the needs of our participants and subsequently, community,” the society’s Zena Peden said in a press release. The programs help support participants in leading productive, fulfilling and inclusive lives, Peden said. “For anyone with a disability, these types of programs are a means to pursue freedom, independence, greater health, wellness and improved quality of life. We are very grateful to organizations ... who affirm to us that the community values all people and supports our efforts to support those who are most vulnerable.” Semiahmoo House Society is located at 15306 24 Ave. For more information call 604-536-1242.

he Shops at Morgan Crossing is South Surrey's newest shopping centre and the central meeting place for the area’s premiere urban-inspired community.
THIS WEEKEND ONLY! Fri., Sat. & Sun. - Sept. 24, 25 & 26
It has the comfort and charm of Main Street, beautifully blending mixed residential living and retail space including over 60 shops and services with gathering spots, water features, public art and green spaces.
NO HST
Over the past few months, there has been a flurry of activity at The Shops at Morgan Crossing with a store opening almost every week. It all started last February when Thrifty Foods opened for business. With its florist shop, bakery and cooking school, the store has received a phenomenal response from the community and quickly became a meeting hub for visitors. Over the past seven months, the community has grown substantially as national brands including Jacob, Carter's OshKosh Babies and Kids, Winners, Town Shoes/ Shoe Company, Best Buy, Steve Nash Sports Club and Everything Wine - B.C.’s largest wine retailer - opened their doors. Most recently, the Banana Republic Factory Store and Gap Outlet stores have opened only their second locations in the province. But The Shops is more than just big brands; there is also a fantastic mix of local and independent entrepreneurs. Stores such as Plaka Mediterranean Cuzina, Fresh Healthy Cafe, Bopomo Pictures, Cerealicious Eats, Mink a Chocolate Café and Crown & Jewels have unique product lines and services that add wonderfully to the shopping experience at Morgan Crossing.
ON ALMOST EVERYTHING IN THE STORE
Some exceptions apply. Cannot be combined with any other offer. In-stock items only.
The Shops at Morgan Crossing is a committed community partner and supports many community groups with fundraising and unique events for the whole family. Activities like its weekly chess club, dog walkers club, Salvation Army road hockey tournament, outdoor movie nights and The Shops' upcoming 5K Halloween Fun Run on October 31 have given the residents of South Surrey a place to call their own - a new community meeting place.

what’s
your sign
Sept. 22 2010 - Sept. 25 2010 ARIES
LIBRA
You have a very active sense of humour. This helps you in several areas of your life. You bring a lot to the people around you as they are helping you to make them happy. This is truly exceptional.
You give a lot of importance to everything concerning your home. This causes many unusual incidents to happen to you. You are in a period where you are thinking of changing some things in your surroundings.
(March 21-April 19):
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
TAURUS
SCORPIO
(April 20-May 19):
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You know how to put some order into several situations. This is truly wonderful. You feel very sure of yourself when you realize you want everything to be fair. You are right.
GEMINI
You have great hopes of being happy in your married life. Plant Venus enables you to be capable of better discerning what is good for you on an emotional level and what isn’t.
SAGITTARIUS
(May 21-June 20):
(Nov. 22-Dec.21)
At the moment, Planet Saturn is causing you to experience several things in an unexpected way where your feelings are concerned. This teaches you to better understand what others are experiencing.
CANCER
You are heading towards things that will bring you a better life. You want to live according to the kind of human being you are and this will be possible for you. Have faith in what you want to accomplish and realize that you will know how to make yourself be respected.
CAPRICORN
(June 21-July 22): You are on the verge of taking some professional decisions which will have many consequences. Avoid acting impulsively. This will only cause problems for you. Don’t neglect the people you love.
LEO
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You are at an important moment in your life. You have a wonderful opportunity of affirming yourself. This gives you the need to better fulfill yourself. You truly love the person who comes first in your heart.
AQUARIUS
(July 23-Aug. 22) Planet Uranus causes you to reflect on several aspects of your life. You are forced to see clearly what no longer has a place in your professional life. However, you want to keep your feet firmly on the ground.
VIRGO
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Don’t worry even if several things seem to bring you many complications. Some of them will not have a long-term impact on your life. This will influence you greatly.
PISCES
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
(Feb. 19-March 20)
The South Node (the Moon’s descending node) causes you to experience many things in your love life. However, be aware that you will finally have the opportunity to better assert what you are and what you represent in the eyes of the person who is dear to you.
Planet Pluto causes you to need to live in a strongly moral way. You cannot, in any way, accept what doesn’t seem worthy of you. You wish to live with the possibility of doing some wonderful things.

Sport fishing on lower Fraser ended Sept. 19
Plenty of fish left in sea
2970 King George Highway, South Surrey
Jeff Nagel Black Press
It was the last big weekend for sports anglers hoping to hook a sockeye salmon in the Fraser River. Recreational angling for sockeye on the lower Fraser ended Sunday Sept. 19, even though there are still millions more fish holding in Georgia Strait that are yet to begin swimming upstream. The estimates of how many sockeye were still in salt water ranged from six to 12 million, Fisheries and Oceans Canada area director Barry Rosenberger said last week. “We expect them to start moving in at a faster pace.” Sockeye in past years sometimes make a sudden mass dash into the river after an extended wait offshore – something Rosenberger said could soon happen. The Pacific Salmon Commission lastTuesday maintained its overall run size estimate of 34.5 million sockeye returning to the

Six to 12 million sockeye are estimated to still be left in the Georgia Straight that are yet to head upstream. Fraser. Most commercial fishing had already been halted to protect weaker stocks of coho salmon that are now migrating upriver. Rosenberger said the same logic applies to recreational fishermen. “We want them not to be catching too many coho,” he said, adding there will be no extension of the sport fishery. Trollers have continued
to fish sockeye but that is expected to end soon. Seiners and gillnetters have already ended their season. One exception is aboriginal bands including the Sto:lo, which are using beach seines or dip nets until Friday to selectively catch sockeye and release any coho. Those catches are to bring the bands closer to their designated share of the commercial fishery, Rosenberger said.

Northeast natives rally against dam Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – About 200 people gathered in the rain on the legislature lawn Sunday to call for a halt to plans for a third dam on the Peace River. The rally was organized by northeast B.C. aboriginal leaders and environmental groups Sierra Club of B.C. and the Wilderness Committee. Green Party leader Jane Sterk and NDP energy critic John Horgan also addressed the rally. Liz Logan, tribal chief and spokesperson for the Treaty 8 First Nations in the region, read a declaration written on a scroll of birchbark. It was signed by chiefs from B.C., Alberta and the Northwest Territories, where the Peace flows to the Mackenzie River and drains to the Arctic Ocean. The declaration states that the third dam, known as Site C, would further disrupt historic gravesites, wildlife and farmland along the river. Opposition to the proposed dam has grown since Premier Gordon Campbell announced this spring that the project would go to the environmental assessment stage. In May, Logan led a

At the time,
Logan left the door open to talks with B.C. over Site C, although she said it would be premature until the impact of the W.A.C. Bennett and Peace Canyon dams on the Peace have been settled. Since then, all the
local aboriginal bands have spoken against the development, supported by neighbouring communities and the Assembly of First Nations national convention in July. “This is not just for us,
it’s for everyone in British Columbia,” Logan told the rally. “This is our only river flowing north, that we need to protect for future generations.” Horgan said the decision on whether to build Site C should be made based on scientific study, not just of the environmental impact but the economics of supplying power. He said the B.C. Liberal government ducked the economic question this spring when it exempted Site C from cost-benefit analysis by the B.C. Utilities Commission. Sterk said the Green Party opposes all new hydroelectric development in B.C., including Site C and the various private run-ofriver projects being built or considered. B.C. should diversify into wind, solar, geothermal and tidal power production instead, she said. Sterk said the B.C. government’s push to build Site C is linked to the vast shale gas development taking shape in northeastern B.C., and both the electricity and the natural gas will ultimately assist further development of the Athabaska oil sands in northern Alberta.

Full Signal
The White Rock Social Justice Film Festival presents the return of its Friday Night Film Series starting this month at First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave. The First film is Full Signal (Sept. 24) which takes a timely look at cellular phones and WiFi technology by talking to scientists around the world who are researching the health effects related to cellular antennas and equipment, activists who battle against their placement, and journalists who have been calling attention to the issue for decades. The Coca Cola Case (Oct. 29) presents a searing indictment of the soft drink empire and its alleged links to kidnapping, torture and murder of union leaders trying to improve working conditions in plants in Colombia, Guatemala and Turkey. Taking Root (Nov. 26) is a compelling documentary narrative about the first environmentalist – and first African woman – to win the Nobel Peace Prize. The Yes Men Fix The World (Jan. 21) is the screwball true story of two gonzo political activists who pose as top executives of giant corporations, lie their way into business conferences and pull off outrageous pranks that highlight the absence of leadership and accountability in the corporate world. All films are at 7 p.m. and admission is by donation. The film festival itself is scheduled to return Friday, Feb. 18 and Saturday, Feb. 19, 2011.
Anniversary show
A new show featuring the work of six local artists will celebrate the 20th anniversary of White Rock’s Jenkins Showler Gallery.

Secondary School, has always been fascinated by old film cameras. “One of my passions is finding and reusing film cameras, allowing them to ‘see’ again, if only for a single exposure,” he said. “I love to consider the mystery of what a forgotten camera has seen through its eye – family celebrations, romantic occasions, tragic events, or even just a simple moment caught in a particular place in time. Images in the exhibition have been taken with cameras ranging from vintage to more modern, and Omorean has processed the film personally, producing prints on fibre-based paper to archival standards.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Vanderhoek, McGowan and Vanderlugt combine for 15 points in three victories
Top line propels Eagles to road sweep Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
While the first few weeks of the hockey season are often rife with roster shuffling as coaches strive to find the right mix, it’s safe to say the Surrey Eagles bench boss Matt Erhart has found his first line. The forward trio of Richard Vanderhoek, Brad McGowan and Jeff Vanderlugt was nearly unstoppable last weekend, propelling the Peninsula squad to road wins over the Nanaimo Clippers, Cowichan Valley Capitals and Powell River Kings. The line combined for 15 points in an 8-2 win over the Clippers Friday, with VanderRichard hoek’s six-point Vanderhoek effort leading the leading scorer way. Vanderlugt had a goal and four assists, while McGowan had two goals and two helpers. Together, along with defencemen Riley Sweeney and Mitch Jones – who had three and two points, respectively – they helped the Eagles go 7-for-11 on the power play, and 14-for-26 in the three games combined. “Our offence and our power play really came alive, and those three guys, plus Mitch and Riley, were really impressive out there as a five-man unit on the power play,” Erhart said. “They really play off each other well, finding backdoor passes, things like that. They were all very good.” On Saturday, Surrey clobbered the Caps 7-2, and on Sunday afternoon edged Powell River 6-5, with Robert Lindores notching the winning goal in the third period. Vanderhoek had a hat-trick in Sunday’s win. Erhart only threw his new first line together in the first period of Friday’s win. The team was playing with injured centre Daniel Gentzler – who is day-to-day with an “upper

Goaltender Vinny Lessard was between the pipes Friday and Sunday. Rookie backup netminder Andrew Hunt played Saturday, stopping 29 shots to notch his first BCHL win.
“We’re really happy with where our goaltending is at right now. Vinny was solid, and so was Andrew,” Erhart said. “Andrew’s a pretty calm, composed guy, and it was nice for him to get his first win under his belt.” Save for a light off-ice workout, Erhart gave his troops a day off Monday after the three-games-inthree-days road trip.

Sun shut out Rams too good to be making those kinds of mistakes.” Rams’ starting quarterback Nathaniel White – an Earl Marriott alum – was just 8-for-22 passing with one interception, while wideout Matt Chapdelaine also threw a pick in his one pass attempt. “He was playing hurt, which is tough for a quarterback to do, and he gave us all he had,” said McLaren. No Ram finished in double digits in rushing yards, either; the team’s leading rusher was Jake Glass with eight yards on five carries. Sunday’s loss was the third in a row for the Rams, who are fourth in the six-team league, with a 3-5 record. The team will look to get back into the win column Saturday, when they travel to Chilliwack to battle the lastplace Huskers, who are 0-8. Though the loss was a tough one to swallow, McLaren said the coaching staff is confident that the team is more talented that it showed Sunday, which gives them hope that the team will turn its fortunes around. “This team has a lot of talent – but we just lead the league in shooting ourselves in the foot,” McLaren said. “Every mistake we make seems to end up in our end zone, and a lot of our problems are self-induced.”
Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
The rain that pelted the Peninsula Sunday dried up just prior to the Big Kahuna Rams’ home game Sunday afternoon, which was too bad for the B.C. Junior Football Conference team – they could’ve used the help trying to douse the red-hot Okanagan Sun. The visiting Sun – tied for first place in the BCFC with a 7-1 record – torched the beleagured Rams 47-0 at South Surrey Athletic Park, led by quarterback Bobby Davis, who had 368 yards passing and five touchdowns. The Rams’ offence, meanwhile, was nearly non-existent, putting up a season-low 55 net yards – 27 on the ground and 28 through the air. The Sun rolled up 525 yards of total offence, by comparison. “Our run defence was actually OK, but we were just getting beat on things like second-and-35s, and that just can’t happen,” said Rams defensive co-ordinator Tyler McLaren. “You’d have a play where they’d throw the ball to a spot where we should have a guy to at least knock it down, and he wasn’t there – just a lot of brain cramps out there by guys who are better than that, and

Eagles notes
Twenty-year-old forward Mike Krgovich, Surrey’s lone all-star from last season, did not play on the weekend after returning to the team last week. PAN reported Friday that the Coquitlam native was back skating with the team – he missed training camp to play junior
lacrosse – but had not yet been added to the roster. He’s still not on the roster – his addition puts the Eagles over the limit for overage players – but Erhart suggested Monday his official addition was a when, rather than an if. “He’s still skating, and doing dry-land (training) with the guys. He’s a part of our team now,” the coach said.

Kart driver repeats as regional champ In his first year racing as a Rotax Junior against top drivers throughout the Northwest U.S., South Surrey go-kart driver Matthew Moniz secured the International Kart Federation sanctioned Regional Championship for the second year in a row. “We intended this season to be a learning experience for us,” said Moniz’s father and tuner. “With our 2009 Mach 1 chassis, we weren’t sure if we would be competitive this year against some top Junior drivers and more experienced teams.” The Rotax Junior class are equipped with 20-horsepower, 125 cc water-cooled engines capable of reaching speeds in excess of 140 km/h. Ages for International competition in the Junior class are 13-16. At age 12, Moniz proved a fast learner, adapting quickly to the increased power, larger chassis, and new tracks. With podium finishes at all races this year, including four straight sweeps in the IKF series, he beat four track records in the process. Moniz also competed in the Canadian Rotax Westerns series where he won race four in the six-race series against the 2009 Canadian National Champion. The win placed Moniz in second place in the points standings in that series and in good position to win the championship, when series officials deemed him too young to complete the series. “This was the most disappointing thing that happened to us this year,” said Moniz. “One thing we learned is that like anything else, racing is not a perfect
