Former mayor calls new city hall waste of cash Amy Reid

Now staff Twitter @amyreid87

CITY CENTRE — Surrey’s former mayor says the glitzy new city hall is “wasted taxpayers’ money.” Doug McCallum poked his head into the city’s inaugural council meeting at the new building on March 31 – and said he did so by accident. “I was in a meeting nearby, and I thought I’d drop by,” McCallum said as he looked around the room. “It’s a nice council chambers.” But those words Doug McCallum were quickly followed by critique of the spending it took to build the new site. “I don’t agree with it. I don’t agree with moving it and the costs associated with it. I think it’s going to show up in hurting the community in some places, as far as being able to build city facilities, because all the money’s been spent here,” he said. “When I was involved in council there was often talk (of building a new hall), but we said no.” To date, the city has stated the new hall would cost $97 million, but residents have questioned how much it will cost after financing. The interest generated over 25 years is expected to be around $48 million, but Vivienne Wilke, general manager of finance and technology, claims taxpayers won’t pay a dime on that.

Council ‘lost their way,’ McCallum says ‹ from page 1

McCallum went on to say the project has “wasted taxpayers’ money.” “We had a good city hall, and we spent a lot of money fixing that up not long ago. So the council at that time was very much against it... City council shouldn’t be spending the money, basically, on themselves.” McCallum was first elected to city council in 1993 and became mayor three years later. He was defeated by current Mayor Dianne Watts in 2005 (see more on their history online at thenownewspaper.com). McCallum referenced the 2003 renovations to the old city hall, which cost around $9 million. As well, the city spent roughly $1.3 million in renovations in 2007. Records show the 2007 renovations were expected to satisfy the hall’s needs for at least five years while a longer-term plan was worked on. Then, in Mayor Dianne Watts’ state of the city address in 2008 she said the process had begun to move Surrey’s city hall into the downtown area. McCallum said he finds it troubling that some communities are underserved in terms of civic facilities and arts spaces, when council has thrown millions at the new civic site. “That’s kind of got my gut saying, ‘What’s going on with our city?’ he said. McCallum said he believes today’s council has “lost their way a little bit.” “The city should start simplifying its operations more. They’re developing too much of a bureaucracy and trying to do everything…. They need to get back to the basics, to be simple and just do the governance that all city governments do and not do all these things that the private sector can probably do better.”

CONFLICT OF INTEREST?

The Surrey City Development Corporation was behind the city hall and civic plaza project, and McCallum calls for the corporation to be disbanded, claiming

Former mayor Doug McCallum says a new city hall was unnecessary. (Photo: KEVIN HILL) its existence creates a conflict of interest. “A development company where the shareholders are council are in a conflict of interest when it comes before them to vote on it. It’s like voting for themselves. It’s a huge, huge conflict,” McCallum said. SCDC was incorporated in 2007 with the mission to “help advance the city’s financial, social, business and community goals through the development of the city’s surplus land holdings and through strategic acquisition of properties ripe for redevelopment.” Aubrey Kelly, president and CEO of SCDC, says allegations that the development corporation is in a conflict of interest are unfounded. “There’s never been a project where you could even vaguely say there’s been some sort of conflict that I would have found the council is in,” Kelly said. SCDC is held to the exact same standards that any other private developer is, Kelly emphasized. “We have no shortcuts, we take a number and stand in line like any other developer and we are put through the rigour of

planning principles and existing bylaws are applied to our projects,” he said. Kelly said while council has approved SCDC projects, those projects have all come with recommendations from the various bodies, such as the planning and engineering departments, that have been put in place to scrutinize and vet projects. He said some projects have been met with negative feedback before making it to council. “And we’ve had to go back to the drawing board,” he said. “There’s been no fasttracking or shortcuts that have been offered to us. And we wouldn’t want that.” Kelly emphasized that SCDC is an entirely separate entity from the city. “I could maybe vaguely see (McCallum’s) point if we were sort of a department of the city, writing the reports to council recommending our own approvals,” Kelly said, and stressed that SCDC is a standalone company, whose shareholder happens to be the City of Surrey. Coun. Barinder Rasode said she sees value in having cities take on an entrepreneurial role but added that it’s imperative that there are strict oversight and accountability

measures in place. “It’s essential that SCDC acts cautiously and with a significant degree of transparency so that residents and the development community feel confident the organization is acting in the best interest of taxpayers and the city as a whole,” Rasode said. Coun. Tom Gill said development corporations such SCDC are becoming the norm for large cities, pointing to Edmonton and Toronto. “We are trying to capitalize on some opportunities and are using the Surrey development corporation to do that. And I think that one of the elements that people continue to forget is that there’s other elements outside of just money-making components,” he said, adding SCDC facilitates opportunities in the realms of education, homelessness and economic development. “There’s many aspects that SCDC is working on outside of just their core ability to raise funds for the city,” he said.

HIGHRISES IN SOUTH AN ISSUE

In the city’s south, McCallum is dead set against a proposed cultural hub project that would see two highrises as part of the development, which SCDC is behind. He said he’s in favour of a South Surrey cultural centre – one without highrises. “It might be just one of many things which council is saying, ‘We can’t build it because we don’t have the money without the highrises.’ But you just spent over $100 million on city hall. Why couldn’t you have taken some of that money and started building facilities in our different communities?” So, does McCallum’s reappearance into the public realm mean he’s eyeing the mayor’s chair? “I hear you’re going to run in the next election,” Watts joked with him at the council meeting. “No,” McCallum said with a chuckle. “Haven’t even thought about it.” areid@thenownewspaper.com

Arson suspected in two huge barn fires Tom Zytaruk

Now staff Twitter @tomzytaruk

SURREY — Surrey Mounties have two arson investigations underway related to spectacular barn fires this week in Port Kells and Cloverdale. Deputy Fire Chief Dan Barnscher said “a lot” of goats, chickens and roosters were killed in the second fire, at 16683-50th Ave., on Tuesday night. He said the SPCA has been called to investigate suspected animal neglect. “It was such an intense fire,” Barnscher said. It took 23 firefighters, with four tankers shuttling water into the rural property, roughly one hour and 20 minutes to put it out. Despite early reports that the 100 foot long barn may have housed a medical marijuana grow operation, Barnscher said firefighters “don’t have any evidence of that yet. “We don’t have any confirmation at all of it being a grow-op.” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said the barn was allegedly set on fire after a man allegedly assaulted another man on a nearby property, in the 5100-block of 168th Street. “Following the assault the suspect is alleged to have fled in a nearby field and set a barn on fire,” Paquet said. “All parties involved knew each other. The argument started over one male accusing the other of stealing eggs.” Paquet said the suspect, 46, took off before police arrived but then called them and was arrested. He appeared in court Wednesday, charged with arson and assault with a weapon. Meantime, the Surrey RCMP has opened an arson investigation into the mushroom farm barn at 18646 88th Ave. in Port Kells

The barn, also about 100 feet long, contained a licensed medical marijuana growing operation with 536 plants. “According to Health Canada, they were licensed to grow in excess of hundreds of plants,” Barnscher said. “We don’t know at this point whether that was anything to do with the origin of the fire, but we do know it did house a medical grow.” Twenty firefighters and six fire engines battled the blaze. A column of black smoke could be seen from kilometres away.

“It is definitely suspicious,” Barnscher said. Paquet said the evidence is largely circumstantial, however. He noted the lease on the building expired on the day of the fire. “That’s part of the circumstances that make this suspicious,” he said. Otherwise, Paquet added that there’s “no solid evidence to support an arson investigation” even though “there’s definitely factors that make this suspicious. “No physical evidence of an accelerant being used was located by the inspector.” tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

White Rock

City doles out annual grants WHITE ROCK — City council approved its annual Grants-In-Aid Monday night, paving the way for more than two dozen community organizations to receive a combined $25,000 for their causes. The organizations were broken up into several categories, including Social, Cultural Athletics/Sports and Other. To qualify for a grant, the organization in question has to be a nonprofit society. Topping the list of recipients were Christmas on the Peninsula and the White Rock Events Society, both of which received the most with $2,000 each. The second highest amount was $1,500, which went out to four other organizations including the White Rock Players’ Club, Semiahmoo Arts. The White Rock Irish Club received $1,050 in aid, while six more organizations received $1,000, including the Critter Care Wildlife Society and the Peace Arch Monarch’s Lions Club. The local branch of the Royal Canadian Army Cadets Corps received $750, as did the 907 White Rock Squadron Committee. Nine groups each received $500, including the Alexandra Neighbourhood House, the Canadian Red Cross and the Friends of Semiahmoo Bay Society. Finally, the White Rock South Surrey Community Response Network was granted $400, while the dry grads of Semiahmoo Secondary and Earl Marriott Secondary both received $250.

Surrey wants to know how liquor laws will affect city Amy Reid

Now staff Twitter @amyreid87

SURREY — Surrey council wants to know what the B.C. Liquor Policy Review changes will mean for the city. During Monday’s council meeting, Watts asked staff to bring a report forward about how liquor store changes will affect Surrey, and asked for that information at the next police committee meeting. “First and foremost, I think that it’s important that council is brought up to date with the new regulations,” said Mayor Dianne Watts. “We have policies in place in terms of locations of liquor stores and the province has put some criteria in as well. I want to make sure it aligns with our policies. The last thing we want to do is have contradicting policies.” The B.C. Liquor Policy Review Final Report recommended that the province should allow liquor sales in grocery stores. The report said allowing liquor to be sold in grocery stores drew more public interest and comment than any other topic

examined in the review. Watts also has questions about how a grocery store is defined under the new regulations. “Are we talking large chains, are we talking small-chain grocery stores? The Costcos and Safeways of the world, I don’t think there’s any issue whatsoever. If the definition stipulates it can be a corner grocery store, then that’s going to be problematic,” Watts said. When the city developed its Crime Reduction Strategy, Watts said it looked at best practices in the United Kingdom. She said the city learned the U.K. saw problems after allowing liquor to be sold in corner stores. “That was one of the things that they said was very, very problematic – selling alcohol from corner stores. If they could reverse that, they would, because the problems around underage drinking, selling to underage kids, drunkenness on the streets, all of those things unfolded from allowing liquor to be sold in corner stores.” areid@thenownewspaper.com

Company claims staff were harassed for being Chinese SURREY — A Surrey metal recycling company that claims it was harassed by a pair of city bylaws inspectors because its directors and employees are Chinese has lost a battle in B.C. Supreme Court. Zhen Hao Chen, Liang Hai Su, Wong Chee Kwai, Carlos Yeung, Marco Fung and Terry Chen, of Ever Recycling Inc. in Bridgeview, petitioned Justice Lisa Warren to reverse the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal’s rejection of their complaint, but Warren upheld the tribunal’s decision Friday in Vancouver. The City of Surrey, bylaw inspectors Don Smith and Andrew Singh and the BCHRT were respondents. The metal recyclers alleged that Smith and Singh had “harassed” them based on their race and place of origin and had added the City of Surrey to their complaint on grounds the city is vicariously liable for its employees’ conduct. The two bylaw officers began inspecting Ever Recycling in May 2007 and the recyclers filed their complaint with the tribunal in November 2011, claiming that while the inspections were ostensibly to

ensure that Ever Recycling complied with the city’s bylaws, the officers’ conduct amounted to “orchestrated harassment.” The recyclers presented 15 specific incidents involving the bylaw officers allegedly using City of Surrey vehicles to block the public entrance to their scrap yard, yelling and screaming at them, ticketing them for “every possible” bylaw infraction, and making no effort to explain the city’s bylaws to the recyclers or to help Ever Recycling comply with them. They also accused the Surrey bylaw officers of conducting “illegal” searches and taking photos of their scrap yard. The court heard the petitioners took issue with the bylaw inspectors allegedly screaming at them in English “even though they knew or should have realized that many of the complainants did not understand English.” The fact Smith and Singh spoke English while carrying out their duties, Warren noted, “could not possibly support an inference that race or place of origin” was a factor in how the recyclers were treated.

EMAIL YOUR ROSES AND TOMATOES

Rotten tomatoes to the woman who left her children alone outside of her house. She should learn how to take care of her own children. A festering trunkload of rotten tomatoes to the person whose droning car exhaust is so loud that it literally made my windows shake as they drove past at 11:20 p.m., and whose car I can still hear droning relentlessly around White Rock like an angry hornet with a megaphone 25 minutes later. Isn’t there supposed to be a noise bylaw in this town?

A portrait of roses to the wonderful lady at Photo Experts of Scott Town Plaza. My granddaughter was visiting from Alberta and had forgotten her camera’s battery charger. Without batting an eye they put her battery on to charge. Many beautiful pictures and memories were captured because of her kindness. Rotten tomatoes to Delta Cable/Eastlink for not providing the service that we pay for. They can afford to pay for advertising on TV – they can also afford to upgrade their equipment for all their Delta customers. Spring roses to the Surrey RCMP in Newton. Near the bus loop, many people jaywalk across 72nd Avenue, which is narrow and busy. I would like to thank the officers on

foot patrol who are doing something about this. Also, roses to your volunteers and other officers who are either on foot or on bicycles patrolling the streets. Thank you for keeping my neighbourhood just a little safer. Rotten tomatoes to the handful of cashiers who, while scanning items, continually complain about management where they work – there are never enough cashiers on hand, they are overworked, they don’t want to lift your grocery bags into the carts because they are too heavy, etc. Don’t be rude and complain out loud in front of me to the other cashier beside you – she’s only trying to do her job. If you don’t like where you are working, then quit! I’m going to shop at Save-On, they respect their customers.

Surrey gives third reading to ‘living document’ OCP Amy Reid

Now staff Twitter @amyreid87

SURREY — Surrey council gave third reading to its OCP on Monday. The Official Community Plan (OCP) is a vision for the city for the next three decades. A report to council stated, “Based on an analysis of the comments received at public hearing, staff is of the opinion that the OCP document is complete in its current state. As a ‘living document,’ the OCP is expected to be amended from time to time as policy is further developed, and as significant plans such as NCPs, Town Centre plans and the Biodiversity Conservation Strategy are completed and approved by council.” Staff emphasized that it is a living document, and can be amended regularly as approved by council. As well, staff said

every application is judged on its own merit and the public has an opportunity to speak to each one. At a public hearing on March 10, residents raised concerns about density, transportation, public safety and the environment. David Cann spoke on March 10 against planned density in the Semiahmoo Town Centre, on behalf of the Semiahmoo Residents Association, saying the area is expected to do “more than its share” and that there’s a shortage of infrastructure to support the increase in

population. The Official Community Plan was three years in the making and outlines the city’s overall vision over the next 30 years, addressing social, economic and environmental challenges like managing population growth, funding public infrastructure and developing sustainable communities.

Extra year on terms won’t serve voters well ViewFrom TheCheap Seats Michael Booth

hey say politicians and diapers need to be changed often – for the same reason. The, um, desire is a noble sentiment, but it isn’t always workable on the political side of the dirty business. Minority governments make change inevitable while other political leaders call snap elections just to take advantage of favourable polling conditions. On the other side of the coin, embattled governments often cling to power until the last possible moment in hopes of an electoral miracle. They’re on the road to electoral ruin and know it, yet are reluctant to cede their grip on the reins of power. In recent years, the idea of fixed-term elections has taken hold in Canada. At the federal level, we remain at the mercy of the whims of the Prime Minister for electoral dates, although the

next federal vote – barring another outbreak of scandal – will tentatively take place October 19, 2015. In the provincial and municipal realms, fixed electoral terms are more the rule than the exception. In British Columbia, we know the next provincial election will take place on May 9, 2017 – it’s a done deal. Municipally, nine of the 10 provinces in Canada hold civic elections every four years. The lone exception: British Columbia. That status, however, may be changing. Last week, the Liberal government in Victoria introduced legislation that will extend the elected terms of municipal officials to four years. Like it or not, the politicians in this province are here for the long haul. The idea of longer electoral terms for mayors and councillors is appealing, at least on the surface. With elected officials on board for four years, communities will have more continuity in leadership and can address long-term issues more effectively than the current situation.

On the outset, this is somewhat of a specious argument. Most of the heavy lifting at the municipal level is done by city staff – professionals hired by the municipality and who do their jobs regardless of who is sitting around the council chambers. Hire the wrong people and the business of city hall will not function smoothly, regardless of whose mug is plastered on the mayor’s official portrait. Another point in the favour of the four-year terms is the notion that such a system is more cost-effective. Longer terms mean less frequent elections, which in turn saves the community money. Perhaps this would be true if the federal, provincial and municipal terms were all synched up on the same dates. In this happy blue-sky world, voters would hit the

polls on the same day once every fours years and elect their federal, provincial and municipal governments. Back in the real world, however, municipal suits go to the polls this November, the federal hopefuls will hit the hustings in 2015 and the provincial representatives will be determined in the spring of 2017. That’s kind of a disconnect, no? Municipal politics are seen as a vaudevillian stepping stone for future positions in the provincial and federal theatres. An ambitious civic official who wants to take his/her act to Ottawa or Victoria would have to do so when the electoral opportunity arose, which would mean abandoning their civic post midterm. That means by-elections at the municipal level, and those costs can add up quickly. (Not only that, but

referendums on important issues affecting the city would inevitably be pushed back a year just so they can piggyback on the municipal elections instead of holding a costly by-election.) At the other end of the spectrum, knowing municipal politics is a way for aspiring suits to cut their teeth in public office means some are cut out for the job while others, well, not so much. Adding another automatic year to the terms of councillors means the disillusioned and disinterested will be sleepwalking through the final 12 months of their public commitment instead of being replaced by more ambitious and capable new blood. In other words, the best councillors and mayors may bail before the end of their terms while the deadweights

are forced to stick around for another year. Probably the worst scenario would be if a single political party was to sweep all of the councillor positions and the mayor’s chair, leaving the city with four consecutive years of decision-making without any rigorous opposition. Is that good for democracy? Could that city’s residents count on fair representation of all the disparate views in the community by council? What if the party ruling unopposed now had four years to run the city carte blanche and impose its will instead of three? Can you imagine if that happened in a city like Surrey?

Trash this bad recycling plan

it after it is produced. B.C. picked MMBC as the organization to manage the new program, beginning May 19. It will be funded by fees collected from companies that use packaging or create printed paper, instead of being funded by municipalities. Lana Popham, Saanich South New Democrat MLA, recently said: “They are setting up a system that’s dangerously close to a monopoly. This will inevitably lead to a decrease in quality of services and increase in price.” This is a B.C. initiative, but it is being run by a board of directors representing Unilever Canada, Walmart, Tim Hortons, Loblaws, Coca-Cola and Procter & Gamble. Does anyone expect them to put B.C.’s interests first? The province has already responded to the horrified outcry from small businesses and exempted them from paying fees to MMBC if their revenues are below $1 million a year, they produce less than a tonne of packaging each year or they are single outlets. That excludes the majority of businesses, but means the remaining ones – and their customers – will have to foot the bill for everyone’s recycling. MMBC’s fees will be much higher than those in other regions. For instance, newspapers would have to pay 20 cents per kilogram, compared

he B.C. government is trying to fix something that isn’t broken – and it’s making a mess in the process. Cities and towns in B.C. have successful recycling systems in place, but the province has thrown everything into confusion by mandating creation of a monster called Multi-Materials B.C. Since MMBC began ramping up, one protest has followed another, as municipalities and businesses began to realize the effects it would have on them. Premier Christy Clark has called the creation of the new organization a “bumpy road.” Business groups across the province have allied under the banner Rethink It B.C., to demand the government delay implementation and sit down to talk about changes to the new entity. MMBC was created after the government changed the provincial recycling regulations in 2011 so that responsibility for recycling packaging and printed paper moved from municipalities to the industries that produced the material. The theory is that the companies that profit from products that produce waste should have to pay the cost of recycling that material. Proponents say the added cost will also be an incentive for those companies to reduce the amount of packaging they use, as not producing waste is a better solution than recycling

to 0.42 cents in Ontario. Corrugated cardboard would be charged 29 cents per kilogram, compared to 8.4 cents in Ontario. The organization says the higher fees are because MMBC will serve apartment buildings, while Ontario’s program serves only houses, but the cost differential is still excessive. Newsprint is already the most successfully recycled product in the system. About 85 per cent of all newspaper in B.C. is recycled, and municipalities generate revenue from it because it is the most valuable recycled material. Newspapers are among the industries most worried about the new system. Peter Kvarnstrom, chairman of the Canadian Newspaper Association, warned that the added costs are so significant to an industry that is already fragile that they will force layoffs in newsrooms across the province. B.C.-based magazines will be penalized because they will have to pay for recycling, while international publications that are printed elsewhere and shipped to the province, pay nothing. In essence, a B.C. magazine will be subsidizing Vanity Fair. Everyone, including the critics of MMBC, can get behind the idea of reducing waste. But the province needs to listen to Rethink It B.C.’s call for solutions to very serious concerns.

Under its new regulations, the BC Government has set up an association led by big corporations to take over the local Blue Box recycling program throughout BC. If you look closely, you’ll see that of seven board members, six are executives of Toronto-based multi-national corporations, with the seventh weighing in from Montreal. How do you like that, British Columbia? This means, unlike the current program run locally by BC municipalities, this new program will be managed not by people whose ﬁrst responsibility is our local environment, but rather, their Bay St. proﬁts.

just $35 a year on average. The new proposed system does not guarantee to keep our local environment as its ﬁrst priority, nor does it guarantee that there won’t be job losses here in BC. It doesn’t guarantee service levels, or say anything about how big business will pass along the costs to you when you go to pick up a piz z a or buy groceries. Yikes! Perhaps this is why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to sign onto the new program, calling it a “scam.” Given that, maybe it’s time you called

Mental health

Teens help other teens avoid suicide Student-led Here and Now organization helps youth 25 and under deal with mental illness Adrian MacNair

South Delta Leader adrian@southdeltaleader.com

hen North Delta Secondary student Tara Joshi began having suicidal thoughts, she dared not breathe a word of it to anybody. She knew that students who are publicly known to be depressed to the point where they harm themselves or talk about suicide can be called “psycho” or “crazy” or branded an “emo kid.” “Because nobody really spoke about it in my community, it was considered something very bad,” Joshi said. Her depression and anxiety disorder went untreated for so long that she developed panic attacks. Unable to stop the darkness from encircling her, Joshi felt lost and alone. At the age of 14 she decided to kill herself. From the depths of that cry for help came a reason to keep living. Joshi says that by talking to other youth about her problems, she began the long road to healing and treating her mental illness. Today, the 17year-old is director of youth engagement for the organization Here and Now, which helps youth 25 and under deal with mental illness. “I think that’s why mental health goes untreated for so long, because there’s such a stigma that surrounds it,” Joshi said. “A lot of people aren’t very comfortable talking about it.” Here and Now was founded by 18-yearold Vancouver resident Isabella Thompson, who met Joshi at the Kelty Mental Health Resource Centre at B.C. Children’s Hospital. Thompson says she reached out to Joshi with the idea of building an organization where youth could deliver mental-health services to other young people. Thompson was bullied in school not only because of her struggles with mental illness but congenital nystagmus syndrome, which causes her eyes to move involuntarily from side to side. She was ostracized from her peer group and became depressed and anxious at a young age.

Isabella Thompson (left) of Vancouver and Tara Joshi of North Delta are teens who struggled with mental illness, self-harm and suicide. The two are part of a youth engagement organization called Here and Now, which provides peer-to-peer counselling and support. (Photo: ADRIAN MacNAIR) “When I started growing up, I developed an eating disorder, I started self-harming, it does get really bad really quickly,” Thompson said. “And the worse that your struggles get, the easier it is for your peers to pick it out.” Thompson had to change schools to escape her tormentors, but the suicidal thoughts followed her. She says that the health-care system helps with intervention for suicide but rarely for prevention. “You can take someone (to the hospital) who’s acutely ill or in a suicidal headspace and hold them for 72 hours on suicide watch. But a lot of the youth, and even the adults, don’t have that care beforehand.” Thompson says going to a hospital to see a psychiatrist and then being committed to a ward with strangers can be a frightening experience, which may cause people to hide

their illness. Joshi says movies and popular culture depict people with mental illness in a negative way that further alienates them from treatment. “So nobody wants to expose themselves to that if they know they’re going to get shot down immediately,” she said. Tyler Black, medical director of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Emergency unit with B.C. Mental Health and Substance Use Services, says mental illnesses are often discovered when a child is disruptive but there are many youth who hide it from their parents and peers. According to the McCreary Centre Society, the main reason for not seeking help is that youth don’t want their parents to know. Number two is the hope that the problem

will go away on its own. Black says the social stigma around selfharm is diminishing because it’s become more common among youth. “But certainly the labels of being ‘emo’ or ‘dramatic’ or not really having any real problems – or one of the more common ones on the internet right now is First World Problems – is a theme that comes up quite a bit for the kids and it certainly adds to their distress.” Black says one of the core issues with selfinjury and suicidal thinking is stress from the hectic lifestyles of the Y2K generation. Joshi says getting young people to talk about depression and self-harm is the first step to getting help. “People feel like they can’t really talk to anyone about it,” she says. “They feel that if you have a mental illness you’re stuck in this hole for the rest of your life. And that’s not the case.” Joshi recently sought the financial aid of Delta North MLA Scott Hamilton to attend a youth conference in Ottawa to talk to other young Canadians about mental health. After meeting Joshi and Thompson, he was determined to help, Hamilton said. “I think there’s a lot to be said for peer counselling with youth who have actually gone through a mental-health issue,” he said. Hamilton recently helped arrange the pair to appear as a delegation before Delta council to speak about their organization. Council moved to grant $1,500 to help them attend the Unite & Ignite conference in Ottawa last weekend (March 27 to 30). “It’s through advocacy by people like Isabella and Tara that we are going to bring to the forefront all of these issues to the point where we’re going to acknowledge how important it is that we deal with mental-health issues in our community,” Hamilton said. Here and Now (online at www.facebook. com/hereandnowbc.ca) was founded just last October, but Joshi says they’ve already received positive feedback from young people who are able to express their own stories and feelings of mental health and mental illness, addictions, bullying and sexuality in a safe environment. “It is education which helps people cope and helps them find ways to recover,” she said.

GRAND OPENING

BEAR CREEK — Artistic teens have been given a platform to display their works in an effort to encourage art education in local high schools. Until April 27, Surrey Art Gallery is showcasing 52 art pieces by Surrey and White Rock students from 11 high schools, including Clayton Heights, Earl Marriott, Enver Creek, Fleetwood Park, Frank Hurt, Fraser Heights, Guildford Park, Johnston Heights, Kwantlen Park, Queen Elizabeth and Sullivan Heights secondary schools. The students each provided artist statements with their works, describing the inspiration behind their creations and the techniques they used to develop such evocative pieces. “I was inspired by Pablo Picasso’s quote, ‘God is really only another artist. He made the giraffe, elephant and the cat. He just goes on trying other things,’” wrote Apaar Chahal, who made a graphite drawing of an elephant titled “Beauty of the Tusk.” “This drawing is a symbol that everything that God has created is all beautiful, nothing is ugly.” Leah Vandermeer-Huynh, an Art 11 student at Guildford Park Secondary, noted that her acrylic painting, titled “Perfection within Paradise,” was “inspired by imagination, fantasy and the positive atmosphere resonating from a close group of friends.”

“The theme is based on the idea of living in those perfect moments most wish to never forget,” she wrote of her utopian artwork. The art pieces – including drawings, paintings, collages and photographs – are designed to generate social commentary, study the human spirit, provoke personal reflection or simply symbolize an emotion, thought or idea. The annual exhibit is developed by the SAG in partnership with the Surrey school district and the Surrey Art Teachers Association. The display is a component of the school district’s annual Fine Arts Festival des Beaux-Arts, which recognizes the importance of arts programming in Surrey schools. “Art education is an essential part of our creative and intellectual development,” said the art gallery in a statement. “The experiences obtained through the processes of art – from the original idea through to the realization of the work of art – assist us in our perception of, and response to, the world around us. “Through art, students are able to develop their creative, cognitive, reasoning, and technical abilities while at the same time learn new ways to express themselves and communicate with others.” The exhibit is in the lobby of the gallery, located at 13750 88th Ave. Admission is free. For more information, call the art gallery at 604-501-5566 or visit surrey. ca/artgallery. jzinn@thenownewspaper.com

introduce some legislation capping random price hikes like this, or putting something in place where carriers can only do so much within a set amount of time? How about making it so carriers must sell any phone with any plan? Or making it so that any plan that was previously offered should be always available for consumers to join? Remember those awesome 6GB data plans that were a thing when smartphones started coming into their own? They cost $30 a month back in 2009. Today, 6GB of data would cost you an extra $125 a month. But I digress. The Big Three have each seen large profits in recent years, just as plan pricing has increased alongside. Now I’m not saying that Canadians deserve free wireless service, but when the systems in place are clearly not helping consumers, one has to wonder where this will all end up. Will our elected leaders finally take measures to protect their constituents, or will Canadians continue to slapped with random rate increases with no end in sight?

magine this: Two bitter rivals set aside their differences and come together in the face of true evil. It reads like the stuff of legends and is about to take place in Canadian politics. If you can recall my last column, I wrote about Canada’s top three wireless carriers, Telus, Bell and Rogers – aka The Big Three – and how they’re essentially jacking up their prices for no reason at all. I ended that column by talking about people’s frustrations with the feds for not doing anything about this (alleged) blatant collusion, and now it looks like that might actually happen. The NDP were set to introduce a motion Wednesday that would study the recent price increases by the Big Three, a motion that the Conservatives have agreed to support. The motion was to be introduced by Toronto NDP MP Peggy Nash, who also

acts as the Official Opposition’s finance critic. Nash’s motion was to read, “That the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology undertake a study of recent wireless plan price increases by Canadian wireless carriers and their impact on the affordability of life for consumers and report its findings to the House by April 30, 2014.” For the rest of us, that’s pretty good news. I mean, more often than not these types of things just slip by and the citizens just bank their resentment for a rainy day. While it remains to be seen if this is just lip service or not, it’s nice to see something on the front of the feds when it comes to the ridiculousness that is our wireless industry. If something substantive does come from this it wouldn’t be the first time that the feds stepped up, as they rejected lobbying efforts from the Big Three trying to limit Verizon Wireless’ ability to enter the Canadian market. While Verizon didn’t end up making moves to enter the Great White North, it was good to see the government actually do something in the interest of consumers. While we’re at it, though, why not

ARTS & LIFE Live theatre

Bananas, peanuts and the creation of a Hollywood hit be bringing them in by the box, because we’re using real bananas. That may turn out to be a decision we’ll regret, but we’ll find out.” Ryan Mooney directs the comedy-drama, which opens Friday, April 4 following two evenings of previews. The show continues at the Johnston Road stage until April 19. The behind-the-scenes look at the birth of one of Hollywood’s most iconic films is rooted in real-life events, amplified by Hutchinson’s take on what might have happened in Selznick’s office that hectic week. Nobody really knows what happened inside, Partridge said. “Selznick, he’s concerned. You know, when he did Gone With the Wind it was a big gamble for him personally, and for his studio, but he was determined to make it happen. It was a big risk, a project he really believed in and not too many other studios were willing to take on, because it was such a big book, more than a thousand pages, but a very important book that sold very well in those days – the quote used in the play is a million and a half copies in 12 months, which is a lot of books.” In the play, Selznick becomes more frantic as time marches on and the stakes

WHITE ROCK — Boxes of bananas and bags of peanuts are loaded in and ready for consumption on stage at Coast Capital Playhouse this week. The food is crucial to the staging of Moonlight and Magnolias, the latest production for White Rock Players’ Club. Ron Hutchinson’s play is a fictionalized account of the effort to rewrite the movie script for Gone With the Wind on the fly. Film producer David O. Selznick (played by Fred Partridge) enlists writer Ben Hecht (Paul Ferancik) and film director Victor Fleming (Ryan Johnson) to get the job done on the quick, so the gang of three is locked in an office, aided by Selznick’s secretary Miss Poppenghul (Laine Henderson), with nothing but bananas and peanuts to eat over a period of five days. “We’ll find out just how much is consumed during the run of the play,” Partridge said with a laugh. “We’re trying to balance eating peanuts and speaking, so it’s going to be an interesting juggling act. We’ve got some big bags of peanuts backstage, and bananas, we’ll

livelihood, his career on the line. There are some bigger-than-life moments in there, some comedy, some more dramatic turns, but it’s all very big, bigger-than-life stuff.” Partridge has been a member of White Rock Players’ Club since the early 1980s or late 1970s – he’s not exactly sure when he signed up for the first time. “I was doing plays there, acting, for a couple years before I became a member,” said Partridge, currently serving as director at large on the WRPC board. He last played a role in the company’s production of Lend Me a Tenor in June 2012. “I usually like to do one play a year,” Partridge said, “but I took last year off to do a bit of a road trip in my old car with a brother and a friend, so that took some time away from acting.” Others involved in the production of Moonlight and Magnolias include Laura McKenzie as costume designer, Tim Driscoll as set designer, Naomi Mitchell and Rosemary Schuster on props, and Gordon Mantle as stage manager; Mantle is coproducer of the play with Vanessa Klein. Tickets for the show range from $16 to $18 via 604-536-7535 and whiterockplayers.ca.

Three actors tackle ‘The Drawer Boy’ at Surrey Little Theatre ArtsScene Melanie Minty Columnist

nd now it is April. Spring, for sure. And the arts scene is just blooming with choice events. Go see and do. Of course, I can only offer a few choices each week. Community theatre groups, arts societies, our arts centres and music providers have a wealth of activities for your participation, whether as a performer or audience. A good way to find out more about what’s on is to join the Arts Council of Surrey, Semiahmoo Arts, or get on the mailing list for Surrey Arts Centre. These are all excellent sources of events calendars. Get on the lists, and pass the word along. Surrey Little Theatre’s spring play, and the company’s entry in Theatre BC’s Fraser Valley Zone Festival, is The Drawer Boy. This gently humorous look at relationships was written by Canadian playwright Michael Healey. The production runs at SLT from April 17 to May 17 on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings, 8 p.m. start;

there are three Sunday matinees as well. SLT has had a tremendously successful season so far, with most houses sold out. Of course, the theatre holds just 76 patrons at a time, so you could say it isn’t much effort to sell the house. Au contraire! It takes a great deal of effort by many volunteers to get the word out and always entice new audience members. We often forget that selling tickets to a community theatre show takes an allout effort, not just putting up a few posters. But advertising is essential, and I have found over the years that word of mouth tops the list in this city. If you have discovered a great little place that delivers watchable live theatre, don’t keep it to yourself. Share. Tell a friend. Even better, take a group of friends to this production. The talented cast includes Mike Busswood, who has won 11 awards with Theatre BC for his past performances. Barry Walker, from North Vancouver, and Aaron Elliott, of White Rock, complete this small cast. OK, so you want to know the plot as well before you commit to actually booking tickets. The Drawer Boy replays the adventures of a young actor from a Toronto theatre group who visits the rural Ontario

home of two elderly bachelor farmers to “research” farm life for a new play. The young actor is based on real-life actor/ director Miles Potter. Director June Ainsworth relates the vital contributions of this cast. “Working with the three actors in this play has reaffirmed my belief in the collective nature of the creative process,” she said. “When we have questions about the script, each of us has answers, imagery and motivations to suggest. This team has been eager to try new ideas and, if they don’t work, to try again another way.” It is, you see, more than just memorizing words on a page. Tickets are $15, but there is a special two-for-one promotion for everyone attending the productions on April 17 and 18. For reservations call 604-576-8451, email reservations@surreylittletheatre. com, or go to www.brownpapertickets.com. Visit www.surreylittletheatre.com for more information. This time of year calls out for liturgical music – just as Christmas does. The Handel Society of Music is presenting two concerts of “St. John Passion” by J.S. Bach. And nothing says spring better than Bach.

. ity n tu or es p m Op Ho le! l a 7 b Fin nly aila O Av

The Friday, April 4 concert is at 7:30 p.m. at St. Joseph Parish, 140 Moody St., Port Moody, and the Saturday, April 5 concert is at Good Shepherd Church, 2250 150th St., Surrey, also starting at 7:30 p.m. The choir and orchestra is conducted by Johan Louwersheimer. Tickets ($20/15) are available at the door, or phone 604-5859102 for the Surrey concert. In the world of visual arts, Just Shoes, a juried art exhibition, can be viewed at Newton Cultural Centre (13530 72nd Ave., Surrey) from April 5 to 30, with an opening reception on Saturday, April 5 from 1 to 3 p.m. If you haven’t located Newton Cultural Centre yet, it is time you did. It is a bit tricky to enter (only eastbound on 72nd Avenue), but once you figure it out, you will be glad to have discovered this space. Its “black box” theatre has already been a well used venue, and the classroom space has been a bonus to the community. While there, you can join the Arts Council of Surrey (office located at the entrance), pick up a Spotlight (the arts council’s monthly newsletter) and also check out the art gallery. You never know what you might find when you walk through the door.

Sweden beckons for UBC star quarterback Michael Booth

Now staff Twitter @boothnow

Canadian football: it’s our game with our rules and talented youngsters in this country can aspire to play the game professionally at any position on the field — except one. The plight of the homegrown quarterback with dreams of playing in the Canadian Football League is a sad one. The best university signal callers in the country graduate with a tough decision to make: retire or change positions, as the CFL quarterbacking domain is the exclusive domain of American pivots. “It’s just one of those things you just kind accept after a while,” said Surrey resident and UBC grad Billy Greene. “I’ve known this is the way it is all the way through. When I got to UBC, I knew. If I was to ever get a chance to play in the CFL, it probably wasn’t going to be at quarterback. Even knowing that, it didn’t change my thought process because to me, the most valuable spot for me to be playing to help my team was at quarterback. I didn’t care what would happen after university — if I got as chance, great and if not, I’ll switch positions then.” The lack of respect for Canadian quarterbacks is definitely nothing new. Greene’s coach at UBC, Holy Cross grad Shawn Olson ran into it when he was playing at the school he now coaches. Olson enjoyed a stellar career at UBC highlighted by a Vanier Cup national championship in 1997, but in the eyes of CFL talent evaluators, when his college career was over, so was his quarterbacking career. “I ran into it for sure when I played,” Olson said. “It was a goal of mine to play professionally and I pursued it. I wanted to be a guy who maybe changed the way Canadian quarterbacks were thought about. I ran into it and I understand the

South Surrey’s Billy Greene sees nothing but blue skies ahead as he embarks on a career as a pro quarterback in Sweden. (Photo: KEVIN HILL) way the team officials think. When you have a quarterback from Florida State and a quarterback from the University of Calgary, it’s hard to compare the two. It’s apples and oranges as far as the level of competition. “It’s a tough evaluation for the people making the decisions and their jobs are on the line so you can’t be expecting a handout. At the same time, a lot of kids who come through the CIS schools are worthy of opportunities in camp. Once they are there, if it doesn’t work out, then at least the

players can say they had an opportunity.” Greene played under Olson’s guidance on the Point Grey campus for three seasons and departed UBC with a resume almost as impressive as his mentor’s. He guided Holy Cross to that school’s lone provincial AAA championship as a high school senior in 2007 and by 2011, he was the most outstanding player in all of CIS university football, winning the prestigious Hec Creighton Award. He attended the CFL evaluation

combine in 2012, but went undrafted. After graduating with an English degree, he was invited to attend a one-day pre-training camp tryout with the Montreal Alouettes in 2013, but was unable to attend as he was rehabbing from surgeries to his knee and foot. For all intents and purposes, it looked like his quarterbacking days were over. “Winning awards doesn’t always translate into being a great pro athlete just as top high school kids don’t always become top college players,” Olson cautioned. “Looking at the CFL game, however, Billy can run, he has a strong arm, he’s accurate and he’s intelligent — and those are all things you need to play the CFL game. He checks off on all of those needs and after that, it comes down to if he can adjust to the speed and the complexity of the game at the next level. “Those things would get exposed pretty quickly of he was given an opportunity. I personally think Billy has the traits needed to be a pro quarterback and now it comes down to what he would do in a practise setting or any other given situation. Billy needs to be judged on the skills and traits that he has as opposed to where he played and stuff.” As Greene rehabbed from his injuries and got back into better shape, he realized he still wanted to play football. He considered switching positions with the realization the move would mean getting beat up for a couple of years on a practice squad or maybe even play special teams. The idea wasn’t appealing for him so he consulted with Olson about his future. When he left Olson’s office that day he did so with a third choice in mind: play quarterback professionally in Europe. Olson was definitely the right guy to consult about European professional football. Olson spent four years under centre with the Chrysler/Dodge Vienna Vikings see GREENE › page 31

Showcase for Surrey’s best The top graduating high school basketball talent in Surrey will be on display with the annual All-Star Classic showcase Friday, April 4 at Enver Creek Secondary (14505 84th Ave.). The event brings together the best Grade 12 players in the city for one final game to end their high school careers. The prestigious Surrey RCMP scholarships will also be awarded that night. The showcase opens with the girls’ game at 6 p.m. followed by the senior boys event at 7:30 p.m. The senior boys’ teams will be coached Mike McKay of Tamanawis and Nick Day of Fleetwood Park. Participating players include: Jonathan Kongbo and Bright Dododza (Holy Cross); Moses Adediran and Iyanu Akindele (Pacific Academy); Parmvir Bains, Sukhjot Bains, Sukhraj Biring and Sukhman Sandhu (Tamanawis); Akashi Grewal and Kevin Alexandrov (Fleetwood Park); Ziggy Brown (Sullivan Heights); Parmeet Matharu (Enver Creek); Anoop Nahal and Matt Grewal (North Surrey); Nimrit Plaha (Panorama Ridge); and Arsh Dhatt (Southridge). Lord Tweedsmuir’s Nick Smith and Semiahmoo’s Skylar Sheehan also earned invitations but are unable to participate.

Team B.C. curlers Surrey and North Delta will be well represented on the curling rinks at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George next year. The teams to represent B.C. at the games were chosen at a playdown event in Vernon March 21-23 with two local skips emerging on top. In girls’ competition, Seaquam’s Sarah Daniels emerged as the skip of B.C.’s best. She is a two-time provincial high school champion and the 2014 BC junior champion. She is joined by 2014 BC Winter Games champion Dezaray Hawes at third, and Thompson/Okanagan duo of second Cierra Fisher and lead Sydney Hofer. The quartet went undefeated through round-robin play to clinch the spot on Team BC. In the boys draw, Surrey’s Tyler Tardi skipped a rink of players from around the province (third Sterling Middleton, second Nicholas Umbach and lead Timothy Henderson) to victory in Vernon. Tardi was named the winner of the 2014 W.R. Bennett Award for Athletic Excellence at the recent B.C. Winter Games in Mission.

Greene excited about Sweden

‹ from page 29 in Austria, leading the team to three Austrian football titles and three consecutive Euro Bowls. He then coached with the Vikings for two more seasons before returning to North America in 2007. By December of 2013 Greene had signed a contract to play with the Tyresö Royal Crowns in Sweden. Best of all, Greene’s Canadian passport won’t be seen as a detriment to his chances. The head coach of the Royal Crowns is Terry Kleinsmith, a onetime quarterbacking star at Simon Fraser University. “Playing in Europe can be an amazing experience or a disappointing one,” Olson said. “The level of play in Europe is very uneven. Some teams are very good and well organized with really talented national players and other places where the teams are very disorganized and play a game that only vaguely resembles football. “I think Billy is in a very good situation going over to Sweden. It’s a very cool country in which to have a European experience and I know the coach he will be playing for so it’s a good situation.” Last month Greene received his first taste of the European game when he attended a nine-day training session with the Royal Crowns near Stockholm. He returned

enthused about the experience and is now preparing to return at the end of April for the full training camp. “Coach Olson has been incredibly helpful through all this,” Greene said. “He basically made me into the quarterback I am now. As a resource for European football he’s been huge for me. He’s been there and knows what’s good, what’s bad and what to look out for. Things like getting my cellphone paid for, getting at least two meals a day paid for, getting internet paid for — little things I don’t have to pay for, but can add up to a lot of money.” Greene intends to play the season with the Royal Crowns before returning to Vancouver in the fall where he will help coach at UBC. With a new challenge awaiting him overseas, Greene admits he is grateful for Kleinsmith and the Royal Crowns for giving him something the Canadian game wouldn’t — a chance to play professional football. “It’s not a lot of money, but it’s a way to see the world,” he said. “The game has been very good to me. I went to university and now I get to see the world. I get to live just outside Stockholm for five months and there’s no way I would be able to do that without football. I’m very happy to be able to do that.” mbooth@thenownewspaper.com

Vancouver’s become the “It Girl” of spring fashion, with trends like Tom Ford’s SS ‘14, which glamorously confronts an distinctly localized vision of danger via mirror-y, shard-smattered dresses.

Villeneuve became part of our national legend BY BRENDAN McALEER

brendanmcaleer@gmail.com

•

The Achilles’ heel of any turbocharged car is heat, and as temperatures rise, power levels fade away. With cool intake temperatures and cold air to bathe the engines of the two Renaults, the twin French juggernauts stood a very good chance of winning – as long as they didn’t break. The Renaults were as French as they could be: developed and built by a French company, they were running on French Michelins, and both were driven by French racers. In first position, Jean-Pierre Jabouille was a veteran of Formula One and Le Mans, and brought an engineer’s precision to his driving. Just behind, the rookie René Arnoux was ready to prove himself. Gilles had a strategy. Somehow, he must get ahead of the two Renaults from the very start, and stay ahead. He knew his Ferrari didn’t have the punch out of the corners to pass, and he knew the long uphill sections at the Dijon circuit favoured the stronger turbocharged engines even more. The flat-12 in his Ferrari had 500hp, just as the Renault’s did, but it made it further up in the rev-range, and didn’t have quite the down-low power to accelerate hard. It wasn’t going to be easy. The green flag dropped and Villeneuve struck. Smoking his tires, he slipped between Arnoux and Jabouille, and instantly started putting distance on both. Jabouille dropped in behind in second place, while Arnoux struggled with his start and dropped to a lamentable ninth. Villeneuve’s strategy was vey simple, but it had a flaw. Despite all his skill and his fierce driving style, the Ferrari’s tires and chassis weren’t up to the job. Every lap he took at full speed was wearing down the rubber, and what’s more, the French were beginning to recover. Jabouille maintained his position, figuring out the course and learning how his car responded with the extra power provided by the cool intake temperatures. Slowly, he began reeling in his French-Canadian rival. Arnoux, meanwhile, was having the drive of his life. He had quickly recovered from his semi-disastrous start, and was picking up the pace. Dropping into a rhythm, he began to climb up the ranks. There was no giving way to legends like Niki Lauda or Nelson Piquet, Arnoux simply spooled up the boost on his powerful Renault and blasted them into the weeds. Soon, he was just behind Jabouille, and the twin Renaults began hunting down the Ferrari. Halfway through the 80 lap race, Villeneuve must have sensed he wasn’t going to win. His tires were cooked, worn through from maintaining high levels of cornering speeds to counter the straight-line punch of the Renaults. Jabouille continued to gain despite all his efforts, and on the 46th lap, the Frenchman made his move. As soon as his Renault passed, Jabouille immediately abandoned his chess-game approach and drove his car as hard as possible. There was simply no way the Ferrari could keep up, and the gap between first and second immediately stretched to multiple seconds. Arnoux soon crowded up behind Villeneuve, trying for the same performance. The crowd was already on their feet, cheering Jabouille and the surety of his win. Would they see a one-two podium finish on French soil? It had been thirty years since a French driver had taken victory here, and

t was the finest two minutes of motorsports ever seen. And, in the end, nobody really won. Formula One is the pinnacle of motor racing, or at least it’s supposed to be, but it’s occasionally a byzantine mystery to the casual observer. Watching it requires a certain level of dedication, or at least a general knowledge of who’s driving the red car, and who’s driving the silver car, and why does the blue car always seem to win? What’s more, the current circus surrounding the races has enveloped the sport of kings in a sort of fortification of wealth. Where once you might have been able to drive down to observe the best drivers in the world duking it out on the racetrack, now there are passes and gates, and only the very rich can get the best tickets and the access. In 1979, it wasn’t like that at all. The French Grand Prix was attended by well over 100,000 people, and they weren’t there to hobnob with celebrities or stuff their faces with caviar. They were there to watch the highest level racing in the world, and they prayed for a French victory – they got both, though not in the way they expected. Renault now provides the turbocharged V6s for the current F1 season, but back in 1979 the technology was very much unproven. Or rather, it was proven: proven to be horribly unreliable. After one particularly disastrous race, a British magazine dubbed the RS01 race car, “the Yellow Teakettle” as its coolant whistled and steamed out in the pits. The car wasn’t very good, but Renault persevered and built another one. While most teams were running 3.0L engines, the rules provided for a 1.5L turbocharged offering, and Renault believed the greater torque and rev-happy nature of the forcedinduction small-displacement engine would be a success. Finally, at the 1979 Grand Prix, they were to prove the soundness of their theory to the world. After qualifying, the twin yellow-and-black Renaults sat proudly in the first and second position on the grid. They had decimated the field, and were ready to clench victory. There was just one little problem - one little Canadian problem. Sitting just behind the two French cars in a bright red Ferrari 312 T4 was a French-Canadian man whose name had already attracted world-wide attention. All of Canada knew who he was, the boy from Richelieu who had won the 1978 Canadian Grand Prix, the man world-champion Niki Lauda would call, “The craziest devil I ever met.” Gilles Villeneuve. Villeneuve’s flat-12-powered Ferrari wasn’t far off the pace of the two turbocharged cars, but he knew he had his work cut out for him. The previous day had been almost unbearably hot, but the weather was now overcast and cool.

hearts were in mouths. On the 78th lap Arnoux cut to the inside corner after the long straight and went for it. It was a killing stroke, a coup de grâce, and it should have meant a hard-fought third place finish for Villeneuve. But Gilles heard something. Over the howling roar of the Ferrari’s flat-twelve, he could hear Arnoux’s V6 misfiring at the top end of the rev-range. It still had the low-end torque to make the passing moves, and Arnoux’s tires were in far better shape than those of Villeneuve’s Ferrari, but suddenly the French’s power advantage had finished. The cars were lapping the track in just over two minutes, and in the final two laps, the greatest battle ever seen in Formula One racing got under way. First, even as Arnoux cut to the inside, Villeneuve refused to give way. He clung to the outside, just a nose behind, but Arnoux’s shorter line meant that the Frenchman couldn’t be stopped. He moved into second place and the crowd roared. But Villeneuve was right there, staying on Arnoux, not letting him surge ahead as Jabouille had done. The pair scorched through the rest of the lap, and crossed the line in a row. Diving into the corner, right where Arnoux had made his passing move, Villeneuve suddenly darted to the inside, locking up his brakes and wreathing his car in a cloud of smoke. His Ferrari responded, despite its tired-out rubber, and he surged though, taking back second by a nose. The cars were so close, their wheels actually overlapped! Through the next corners, Villeneuve has to work hard. His car is twitching and sliding, nearly all its grip gone. Arnoux dives in again, and the cars go around the corner exactly side-by-side. They bang wheels, trading places only by a nose. Arnoux slips ahead, but misjudges and goes off-track briefly. With the loss of acceleration, Villeneuve once again takes the lead. They collide again, and Villeneuve drops behind, but in the last hairpin, he cuts aggressively inside, and holds it, holds it, holds it for just long enough to get across the line. The cars finish Villeneuve second, then Arnoux third, the split between them less than one quarter of a second. As the cars circle on their victory lap, both drivers wave to each other, and to the crowd. When they finally stop, both men, charged with energy, leap from their machines to shake hands. There is no animosity, only the pure joy of racing at the highest level, and the respect for a battle well-fought. In 1982, while qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix, Villeneuve would be killed in a crash with Jochen Mass. Mass would later withdraw from racing, not out of any sense of guilt – the accident wasn’t his fault – but because of the devastating effect it had on Gilles’ young family. Canada too reeled from the loss, and the name of Villeneuve became part of our national legend. His is a story of what could-have-been, as well as the glory of what was. Last year, for the opening of a special exhibition at the Enzo Ferrari museum in Italy, Villeneuve’s Ferrari 312 T4 was started and driven on the streets of Modena. The police escort cleared the way, and the racecar snarled and howled its tribute to its fallen master. On that day, at the wheel, was René Arnoux; no-one else could have been more fitting.

Marine Drive roadwork is delayed three weeks Christopher Poon

Now staff Twitter @questionchris

WHITE ROCK — Roadwork along Marine Drive is now expected to stretch into June, possibly disrupting traffic during the city’s peak season. The delay is due to the city’s water utility operator, EPCOR, wanting to install a new water main while the street is being worked on. Marine Drive is undergoing road reconstruction between Bishop Road and High Street in order to replace the existing road, road base, sidewalk and service connections. City contractors caused a water main break in January and following that, the water operator informed the city they would be able to complete further water main work during the same time as the Marine Drive construction. However, as the city is waiting on EPCOR to finalize the funds for the project, work has been delayed. Approval is expected later this week. “It’s unfortunate that even though we notified them a year ago, they waited until the road was stripped down before they

wanted to change the main,” said White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin. In addition to the delay, traffic in the area has been something of an issue, and the city has been on the receiving end of calls from residents upset with rerouting and delays. According to manager of engineering Bob Ambardar, the city’s traffic management plan has had to be reconfigured several times in response to local concerns. Ambardar said the volume of traffic affected was higher than what was anticipated by staff and as such, non-local traffic has now been rerouted up Bishop Street. “We’ve been working with staff to make changes to traffic management plans,” he said. Coun. Louise Hutchinon expressed concern that the public may be under the impression that the parking lot west of Oxford was also unavailable, which it isn’t. “Tonight on a very nice night the parking lot was full to the left of Oxford, and to the right it’s empty,” she said. “I’d like to see signage to say the parking lots are still open.” cpoon@thenownewspaper.com
