Former Surrey mayor Doug McCallum is giving serious consideration to running for the job again this fall.

The South Surrey resident – ousted by Mayor Dianne Watts in 2005 – will make his announcement on July 7 for a bid for the centre chair, according to sources.

Last Friday, however, McCallum would say only that “I’m giving it consideration but I haven’t made a decision yet.”

“There are a lot of people out there pushing me, I’ll say that,” he said. “I can see where there are people out there who think we need to have a tighter fiscal policy.”

McCallum is one of three veterans wanting to lead the city for the next four years, challenging Couns. Linda Hepner (Surrey First) and Barinder Rasode (independent).

You will soon risk being fined $500 if you leave a dog in a hot car in Surrey.

Driving with Buster loose in the back of the pickup truck? You may have to open your wallet for that, too.

The City of Surrey is strengthening its Dog Responsibility Bylaw to allow bylaw enforce-ment officers to directly issue tickets to those

who violate the Care of Dogs regulation.The amendments, which city council is

expected to adopt at its July 7 meeting, come on the heels of the death of six dogs who per-ished from heat stroke while in the care of a Lower Mainland dog walker in May. While its was initially claimed that the dogs were stolen in Langley, it was later admitted that they’d died in the back of a covered truck.

“Recent tragedies have reminded us of the

importance of being diligent in caring for our animals,” said Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts. “Temperatures in vehicles can rise to danger-ous levels very rapidly in the summer season, posing a serious risk to dogs that may be in them. We want to encourage pet owners to be mindful of this while enjoying the warm summer season with their pets in Surrey.”

White Rock’s Animal Control Bylaw pro-hibits the confining of any animal in an

enclosed space, including a motor vehicle, “without sufficient ventilation to prevent the animal from suffering from the heat.” The penalty for doing so is $150.

Other issues Surrey’s bylaw restricts include tethering dogs for more than four hours a day or tethering with choke collars.

While city bylaw officers are not allowed to remove animals from vehicles, BC SPCA or RCMP officers can.

As the task force working on sprucing up White Rock’s Johnston Road closes in on final designs, the group’s chair says a 24/7 shutdown of the street to traffic is not on the agenda.

But Coun. Al Campbell said he is not ruling out the idea that the uptown portion of the road could be pedestrian-only once in a while.

“If it’s a really beautiful-looking street and everything’s up to code… we would be able to be in a position to have a pedestrian-oriented

function there,” Campbell told Peace Arch News.“But that’s not the duty of this task force.“Right now… it’s about rebuilding what we

The foot-traffic-only concept was raised at a June 17 open house hosted by the Johnston Road reconstruction and beautification task force to collect feedback on proposed designs for the uptown stretch of Johnston, from North Bluff Road to Thrift Avenue.

According to Coun. Helen Fathers – who is

Campbell said engineers tasked with the redesign are looking at four key – and some-what contentious – areas: the sidewalks, the trees, crosswalks and access to Central Plaza.

Area merchants, he added, are top-of-mind in the effort. Pedestrian safety also ranks high. In that regard, the sidewalks – with paving bricks pushed up by tree roots – are a particular hazard, he said.

“You can’t leave it the way it is. It’s just too dangerous,” Campbell said.

New sidewalks are eyed for both sides of the street, graded toward the road to avoid flooding issues.

Fathers said the proposed removal of the mature trees on either side of Johnston did not sit well with attendees.

Other ideas presented at the open house include eliminating the crosswalk just south of North Bluff Road, and removing six parking spaces on the west side of Johnston Road to enable two lanes for southbound traffic.

Those two moves are particularly concern-ing for one longtime business owner.

Laura Shaw of Laura’s Fashion Fabrics said taking out the crosswalk – which she remembers fighting to keep 10-12 years ago – will disrupt the traditional movement of people in the area. Removing the six parking spaces is “not going to encourage people to stop to shop in White Rock.”

“It’s just awful,” she said.Campbell said engineers will implement

various aspects of the open-house feedback into new designs that he hopes will be ready for public perusal early this month (July).

He acknowledged that not everyone is supportive of the pending changes – “some people don’t want to do anything,” he said.

“Not everybody will get their wish,” he said.

Work is to be done in two phases: from North Bluff to Russell, then from Russell to Thrift. Campbell estimated the final cost at “plus-or-minus $1 million.”

Police are investigating the swarming attack of a 14-year-old girl in Newton last Wednesday.

Police say the girl was invited by a friend to the “Grove,” a patch of trees behind the New-ton Wave pool at 72 Avenue and 137 Street, at about 6:30 p.m. The plan was to meet some of friends, but the friend who invited the 14-year-old did not show up.

Another group of youth did.A conversation ensued, which turned into

an argument. One of the girls from the group of 10 to 15 people punched the teen and knocked her down. Several others kicked her, took her long board and ran away when

security intervened.Police say they’ve talked with almost half

of the teens who were there, but RCMP are looking for the ones who were actively involved in the attack.

Surrey RCMP are reminding anyone who is involved in illegal activity that they are being recorded on closed-circuit television cameras. In addition, there is bolstered crime reduction in the area including private security and RCMP.

The “Grove” is an area of Newton being reclaimed by the community after the brutal killing of hockey mom Julie Paskall nearby late last year.

newsEmpty coal trains to be rerouted through Sumas this summer, if plan goes ahead

Temporary train reduction considered

Community needs assessed through participation, mathematics

Techno push to empower the people

Motorcyclist killed

Arrest in youth’s hit-run death

Surrey RCMP have arrested a 62-year-old Surrey man in relation to a fatal hit-and-run motorcycle collision that killed a 16-year-old last Tuesday.

Surrey RCMP say the collision took place just before 11 p.m. on June 24, near the intersection of 96 Avenue and 123A Street.

Police say several witnesses said they saw a silver Honda Accord driving eastbound on 96 Avenue in the fast lane signalling to turn left on 123A Street. The motorcycle was driving westbound on 96 Avenue in the fast lane when the Honda allegedly turned left in front of the motorcycle.

The driver, police say, continued driving north on 123A Street for about a block before abandoning the car and fleeing on foot.

The teen motorcyclist, Kevin Dhillon, was taken to hospital but died of his injuries.

The suspect was arrested Wednesday afternoon at his residence and is facing charges of criminal negligence causing death and failing to remain at the scene of an accident. Police said he is co-operating and has been released from custody.

“Although we are still in the early stages of what will be a lengthy criminal investigation, the arrest of the driver is obviously crucial to its success. We also hope that it helps bring closure to the victim’s family and loved ones,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet.

In the coming months investigators with Surrey RCMP’s Criminal Collision Investigation Team will be collecting additional evidence, including mechanical, engineer, and reconstruction reports, video surveillance, and multiple witness statements before charge approval from Crown counsel can be obtained.

Anyone with information who has not spoken to police is asked to call 604-599-0502.

White Rock residents could get a minor – albeit temporary – train-traffic reprieve this summer.

BNSF spokesman Gus Melonas confirmed Friday that discussions are underway about the possible rerouting of empty coal trains through Langley and Abbotsford to accom-modate track upgrades and bridge work between the border and Burlington, Wash.

If an agreement is finalized with Southern Railway (SRY) – which owns a line of tracks through Abbotsford – it would reduce the

number of trains rumbling along the water-front by two to three per day for about two months, possibly starting as early as July 7.

“The plan in place will be for BNSF to reroute empty coal traffic from Roberts Bank through Abbotsford down to Sumas,” he said.

He said the detour plan – “if that traffic is detoured” – is expected to last for 65 days, with safety “the number one priority.”

The trains normally run south from Rob-erts Bank, through White Rock, and enter the United States at the Peace Arch border crossing.

Melonas said the trains would be around two kilometres long. They are limited to a maximum of 24 km/h through town and double that in rural areas, according to J. Singh Biln, SRY’s director of community relations.

White Rock has called for trains carrying dangerous goods to be rerouted away from the tracks that hug the city’s busy shoreline.

Earlier this year. City officials wrote to Transport Minister Lisa Raitt and suggested that dangerous goods

instead cross the border at Sumas.Melonas said he can’t “speculate”

on whether such traffic would be diverted in the future. 

On Friday, Raitt announced amendments to rules for the trans-port of dangerous goods by rail, including requirements for tank cars to have thicker steel walls and other reinforcements to reduce the risk of spills on impact; and, requir-ing railways to proactively identify and address safety risks.

An online decision-facilitation service is helping stakeholders in South Surrey and White Rock gain greater insight into making the community more “caring, resilient and connected.”

A June 25 meeting at Rotary Field House, sponsored by Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg, was the first step in a significant local trial of the methodology of Ethelo Decisions, an organization that uses a computer algorithm to reflect diverse input on complex issues.

The service was offered pro-bono to the com-munity by Ethelo to demonstrate the effective-ness of the model, invented by John Richard-son, a mathematician and lawyer who founded the Pivot Legal Society, one of Canada’s leading human-rights organizations.

It’s proven effective in mediating conflicts, Richardson and fellow Ethelo principal Kath-ryn Thomson say, because the algorithm helps identify and define areas of potential consen-sus and innovation, leading to fairer, more balanced decision-making.

Hogg said he wanted to make sure the South Surrey meeting – first in what he sees as an ongoing series of in-person and online encounters aimed at fostering connections and

encouraging initiatives to make the commu-nity a better place to live – was a good fit by inviting service recipients as well as recognized movers and shakers.

“I wanted to make it as apolitical as we could,” he said, noting the invitation list included such local social activists as Susan Keeping and Don Pitcairn (who each challenged Hogg in last year’s provincial election), as well as elected officials such as White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin and Coun. Helen Fathers, Surrey Coun. Judy Vil-leneuve and longtime Surrey school trustee Laurae McNally.

The meeting, attended by some 47 stakeholders, represented all age groups, from youth to seniors, Hogg said, noting that attendees split into subgroups to discuss and identify key issues of importance.

“There were some pretty robust discussions,” he said, concluding that the first step of the process seemed to have been successful.

“As people were leaving, more than half came to me and said that they appreciated the approach. One gentleman told me he was going to rethink what being in a community means.”

Rather than approaching issues with a spe-cific agenda or set of assumptions, Hogg said

he wanted to challenge participants to take a more fundamental approach based on a core set of values.

“How do we take care of each other?” Hogg asked. “How do we look after each other? How do we look at people not for the defects we have, but the gifts we all bring?”

Participants will continue to be con-tacted and the plan is to have another full meeting in the fall to discuss what the logarithm suggests about input received, he said.

“There are a lot of options that could be explored, whether they are options for government to respond to or

whether they’re initiatives that people them-selves can take,” the MLA said. “Research has shown that people who feel safer in their homes are those who know more of their neighbors’ names – maybe holding more block parties would be something that could be looked at.”

Hogg said that when Metro Vancouver con-ducted a study of issues that residents felt were most important, it was anticipated that the front-runners would be poverty and homelessness.

“Instead, the biggest issues were people feel-ing isolated and alone – how do you get people engaged?”

Contributed photoMovers and shakers from varied demographics and backgrounds meet to discuss issues that they believe would benefit their community.

McCallum said he believes too much money was wasted moving city hall from Newton to Whal-ley earlier this year.

He said a much tighter rein on city finances is in order and that he’s ready for the task.

“I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been,” McCallum said.

“I’ve lost 20 pounds, I bike every day at Crescent Beach. I’m probably in better shape than when I was mayor.”

The first issue that needs to be tackled is crime, he said.

“We have to address (the) pub-lic-safety end of it. I think it’s just a matter of sitting down and working with the RCMP and saying we want to see a lot more pro-active and preventive type of policing and police offi-cers on the streets. If that means hiring more staff to hire their administrative duties, then we need to do that.”

McCallum said coun-cil’s promise of 95 police officers over the next five years is fine, but that number should come in over the next two years.

He also wants to double the civic funding for the Surrey Crime Prevention Society.

The second-most-pressing issue, he says, is transportation.

McCallum – who was first elected mayor in 1996 – said the current council has fallen short on its lobbying efforts to senior levels of government.

“You’ve got to talk to them every day, or every week,” McCallum said. “There’s windows of oppor-tunity, and right now, federally, with an election next year, there’s a huge window of opportunity and we should be contacting

Ottawa every week.”He said development in Surrey

has grown stagnant.“In Newton… I’m dismayed,”

he said. “When we were involved, we were really looking at building that town centre and putting in a lot of recreation and community centres in behind the pool.”

“I think we need to really, really get going on building in New-ton and complete that recreation town-hall concept in Newton.”

He said he could boil down his concerns about Surrey into three topics: “Safe, clean and active.”

Election day is Nov. 15.

The Semiahmoo Peninsula’s two cities are each celebrating Canada Day with a number of events today (Tuesday):

White RockThe City of White Rock is once

again hosting its annual Canada Day by the Bay.

The all-day event along the waterfront includes family-friendly fun, including live entertainment at West Beach and the Kids Zone at Each Beach, which will include bouncy castles, face painting, balloon twisting and a sandcastle competition.

The day kicks off with the annual Canada Day Rock 5/10km run at 8 a.m., followed by opening ceremonies.

July 1 is Canada’s 147th birthday. For most of the past 147 years, Canada has been respectful of other countries and of its

wide variety of people, who come from widely disparate backgrounds and traditions.

There are some significant exceptions however, which must be stated up front. Canada has done a generally poor job in maintaining good relations with the aboriginal people who were here before any immigrants came. For the first 100 years of our independence, there were ongoing efforts to assimilate them, take away their land, unique cultures and heritage, and subjugate them. This was a holdover of the British approach to colonialism, and was quite similar to what the British did in other parts of the world.

It is only in recent years that more Canadians have started to appreciate the unique perspective that First Nations people bring to this country. Here in B.C., where we have a wide variety of different First Nations groups, most of whom have no treaties, First Nations issues are front and centre, as was demonstrated on Thursday by a Supreme Court of Canada decision on aboriginal title, brought forward by the Tsilhqot’in Nation.

Thankfully, the relationship in Surrey between the community at large and our First Nations, the Kwantlen, Katzie and Semiahmoo, is generally positive and is one of mutual respect.

The other blot on our history comes in the treatment of Asians, particularly the Japanese during the Second World War. While there have been apologies and financial settlements, that aspect of our history is a shameful one – as were the discriminatory tactics used to keep out prospective immigrants from China and India.

What Canada does do well, however, is learn from past mistakes. This country has always been a grouping of different people. In 1867, it was the aboriginal people, those of French background, and those of British background – including descendants of former Americans who disagreed with the American Revolution.

Since that time, people came to help populate the wide-open spaces in the country and they have come from all over the world. .

Together, these diverse peoples have forged a country respectful of religions, traditions and cultures; committed to fight injustices; economically strong and well-positioned; and one of the best places in the world to live.

Happy Birthday, Canada.

Getting better with age

Published at South Surrey by Black Press Ltd.

VICTORIA – The Supreme Court of Canada’s landmark decision on aboriginal title held by the

Tsilhqot’in Nation leaves many questions to be answered.

Perhaps the biggest is this: Will British Columbia exist as we know it today by the end of this century? Or will it devolve into dozens of semi-autonomous regions, through treaties or similar court actions, as the only Canadian province that never completed historic treaties?

The Tsilhqot’in decision appears to uphold the key finding of the 2007 trial, that 1,700 square kilometres of the Nemiah Valley west of Williams Lake are essentially owned by the people who occupied it hundreds if not thousands of years ago.

It’s not quite ownership. Federal and provincial jurisdiction still applies, and their authority varies with the strength of the aboriginal title claim.

Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin ruled that the province overstepped its authority by issuing logging permits in the valley in 1983. McLachlin noted that lawyers for B.C. first argued that the logging was to control mountain pine beetle, then dropped that argument

in its first appeal. She also upheld the decision of the trial judge, one-time NDP leadership contender David Vickers, who rejected B.C.’s position that the

economic value of the timber to the province overrode the then-vaguely defined aboriginal title.

Here’s McLachlin’s definition:“The nature of aboriginal title

is that it confers on the group that holds it the exclusive right to decide how land is used and the right to benefit from those uses, subject to the restriction that the uses must be consistent with the group nature of the interest and the enjoyment of the land by future generations.”

That’s not land ownership in the fee-simple sense of the

term. It locks in communal ownership, which I and many others have argued is at the root of the poverty seen in many aboriginal communities.

Another big question: Is there any future for B.C.’s 20-year-old treaty process, or will this precedent-setting case send more First Nations to court, or to the barricades as the Tsilhqot’in did on a logging road in 1983?

One of the unique advantages that have emerged from the handful of modern treaties in B.C. is that aboriginal

communities have more options in land ownership. By voluntary agreement, they can convert land to fee-simple ownership, making it available for mortgage or sale. Modern treaty holders also get out from under the federal Indian Act, which remains in force despite this latest decision.

One of the big questions asked in the days after the Tsilhqot’in decision was this: Is the Northern Gateway pipeline project dead?

None of the aboriginal communities along the pipeline route has this kind of declared aboriginal title. Few if any would have a similar strength of claim as the Tsilhqot’in, who fought a small war to defend their territory from a wave of gold seekers in the 1860s.

One that does is the Haida Nation, whose occupation of a beautiful group of islands was long defended militarily, and never challenged by any other aboriginal group.

Among others, the Haida Nation was represented in the Tsilhqot’in case as interveners. Council of the Haida Nation president Peter Lantin said after the decision that his team is preparing its own aboriginal title case for trial.

Few doubt that this assertion of title will be successful, either by negotiation or court ruling. But there is a unique aspect to the Haida claim that would set another precedent.

They claim title to the ocean around Haida Gwaii, a challenge to anyone wishing to sail tankers through.

quote of note

lettersPeace Arch NewsPeace Arch News

Cities of firstimpressionsEditor:

I am an octogenarian and have been extremely fortunate in my lifetime to have travelled the world, both at work and for pleasure.

A little over two months ago, my wife and I decided to live in White Rock, as it seemed to be the nearest place in Canada to a small English town, which is the country we were both born, and also to be closer to some of our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

During our younger days, we experienced, as well as cultures, many different rules and regulations.

Since coming to White Rock, we have found in our short residency the people to be extremely helpful, but reading the two local newspapers every week, none of the countries we have lived or travelled in have had so many rules and regulations.

The newspapers are full of rules telling taxpayers what we cannot do.

I am totally bemused and wonder how these rules ever came about. Do not the taxpayers have any say? Or is it run, as in Russia and her satellite countries, with the residents having no say in their own city as to what they can or cannot do?

What would take up much less space is to tell me what I am allowed to do, instead of the opposite.

Before I sign off, there is one rule I must mention. Dogs are not allowed, even on leash, to walk with their minder along the beautiful seafront walk or beach.

The countries my family has lived in include my country of birth, Portugal, Spain and Turkey. All have nice soft, sandy beaches and all allow dogs to run around wherever they wish. Every night, during the hours of darkness, manpower and machines work, cleaning garbage left by visitors and any “mess” left by dogs and horses. By morning, the beaches are 100 per cent clean.

I also have visited Carmel, Calif. a couple of times. It has about a kilometre of white soft sand, and dogs are allowed to play on that beach without any supervision.

I was shocked when I saw the “beach” in White Rock. Although it is obviously of great attraction to nearby cities, the small areas of beach are very dark and look more like mud flats than sand. Not exactly what one would call pristine.

Whilst I realize there are probably many people living in the area who don’t like dogs, or any animals for that matter, I have met and/or seen hundreds of people who do own dogs, all of whom pay taxes to the City of White Rock, the same taxes as those who don’t own a dog.

In most civilized countries, plastic bags are attached to drums, usually placed about 100 metres apart, and dog owners take one to clean up any “mess” and dispose of the bag.

One of my granddaughters, who lives in Sardis, tells me that along a river through their city, there are containers and disposable bags.

I’m quite sure people would do the same here. I’m also sure this would allow all taxpayers – both with and without pets – to walk along this

pathway, and would be much cheaper than these dog-control people and their nice City of White Rock vans. My wife and I found when walking along the sea walk – not realizing dogs are not allowed, even though on a leash with “doggy bags” tied to the end – that one or two of them are quite arrogant and rude to people.James Taylor, White Rock

After living for the past 12 years in a condo in Vancouver, I have recently moved with my family to South Surrey, as my second son was born and we needed more space.

Our immediate neighbourhood is full of young families and has been really wonderful – which makes some of my experiences in my new community so disappointing!

My husband works long hours, and we sometimes need to go grocery shopping, or for a walk, on our own.

When people see a mother with two kids out alone, even if they can’t summon the courtesy to hold open a door or kindly ignore an exuberant five-year-old, I really wish they would: not honk at us when you have to wait to pass us on a crowded road without sidewalks; not call me a name in front of my kids, when I call at you to slow down when you speed by, inches from my child walking his bike and I’m scared for our safety; and not call me a “piece of work” when you see us in the grocery store parking lot trying to navigate and stay

safe with stroller, rolling basket of groceries and moving vehicles.

There aren’t crosswalks along every inch to my car when all the parent spots are full. You saw us from 20 feet away. Did you expect me to apologize for our presence as I passed you?

I’m doing the best I can each moment, just as every mother is.

There are so many lovely people here, but these kinds of experiences are really hurtful when I’m trying to do my best to keep my kids safe and participate in this community. I never had this happen in the ‘big city.’

When I talk to other mothers, these experiences are common! What is wrong with people? Young and old alike, we need to collect ourselves and remember basic manners, and maybe even show a little bit of kindness to others.

Our kids are watching. What kind of behaviour are you modeling? You might slow down yourself one day and they’ll have to wait for you. Cheryl Wilson, Surrey

Re: Superstore set for 2015. June 10.Thank goodness competition is

coming! As a new resident of White Rock,

I am truly shocked by the price of groceries in the area – 30-50 per cent higher than in Metrotown.

I still commute so have options as well as a Nexus pass. Pity the seniors with no grocery-shopping options that are being ripped off.Don MacKay, White Rock

Time for trainsto move onEditor:

At the risk of triggering another knee-jerk reaction from every old goat who adores diesel fumes, train whistles and coal dust, dare I say, one more time, let’s get rid of that damn railway running through the heart of our city that separates humans from our beautiful seashore!

Now, in addition to the pollution, noise and life-threatening cargoes at our doorsteps, we must endure chain-link fences? This has gone on too long. Move the damn railroad!

I’d make a conservative estimate that every one of the 500 or so properties along the rail line would double in value as a result. Thousands of others would also increase in value significantly. Vast stretches of railway land could be converted to a world-class seawall. Adjacent lands could be sold or leased to private enterprises.

Annual increases in property taxes to White Rock and South Surrey alone could easily pay for the $400 million to move the railway. Paul Griffin, Surrey

It’s sad to see how Transport Canada and BNSF are framing the whole safety issue along the White Rock promenade and crossings as a pedestrian-safety issue. In reality it is the trains themselves – over a dozen a day – that are the real safety issue.

A hundred-plus years ago, when these tracks were laid, White Rock was barely populated and the freight carried by the trains were nowhere near as potentially hazardous and toxic as they are today.

We all know from what has happened in Lac-Mégantic, Que. and other populated areas in North America that BNSF is playing a game of probabilities when it comes down to the actual potential catastrophic threat to the physical well being of White Rock residents, the promenade, pier and beach itself.

Everyone knows that no railroad company would ever receive permission in modern times to build a railroad line in such close proximity to such a populated area.

As times have changed, the population density has magnified beyond what anyone could have imagined, as has the frequency and potentially hazardous nature of the railroad cargo being carried.

For all of these reasons, the location of the BSNF tracks should be rerouted through a less potentially dangerous and hazardous location.Michael Weiner, White Rock.

This is the final straw. This railway does not seem to understand that nobody wants it – South Surrey, White Rock, Semiahmoo, Blaine, etc.

All costal communities want it gone before we have an ocean disaster. A derailment or spill in the White Rock bluffs would be carried by the tide to the U.S. and Canadian Gulf Islands before anything could be done.

Move the railway. Burlington Northern has another right-of-way crossing the border at Sumas. It is away from the shoreline.John Williams, White Rock

Metro Vancouver mayors are shifting gears on how to pay for their massive transit investment plan, returning to previously discarded options like a vehicle levy or a regional sales tax.

Mayors’ council chair Richard Walton said that this appears more likely after the province rejected any reallocation of its existing carbon tax revenue.

Although mayors had specified a new regional carbon tax as their backup source when they tabled the plan earlier last month, Walton now calls that “problematic” because it would largely act as an increase in the gas tax, which has recently become an unreliable source of cash for TransLink.

“If you raise the price at the pump, the gross revenue declines and that’s self-defeating,” Walton said after a Thursday meeting of the mayors’ council.

“Ultimately it looks like we’re moving back

towards discussions concerning the vehicle levy and the sales tax.”

According to plan documents, a regional

sales tax of 0.25 to 0.5 per cent would generate $125 to $250 million a year.

An annual vehicle levy of $72, charged on top of insurance, would generate about $100 million. Options include a flat

fee or one that varies based on emissions or distance driven.

The plan needs new funding of $110 million per year initially, rising to $390 million several years in, although that assumes big capital contributions from Victoria and Ottawa.

Mayors have not yet set a firm date for

the referendum the province requires on any new TransLink taxes; Transportation Minister Todd Stone directed them to pick one by July 15.

But Walton said late March or early April looks likely, provided a date can be found when families aren’t away on spring break.

That leaves little time to hammer out the funding decisions and develop a public engagement strategy, Walton said, particularly with civic elections this fall.

“There’s a massive amount of work to do,” Walton said. “The timing of this could not be worse for us to do the job well. It’s such a pity because this referendum, if it does go ahead, is probably the most critical vote in the region for a decade.”

Several mayors

expressed frustration that Stone has indicated the $7.5-billion plan is too costly and needs to be pared down or stretched out over 20 years instead of 10.

“Waiting for 20 years is simply not going to assist the region in any way, shape or form,” Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said, adding the province should lobby for the use of federal contributions other than the Build Canada fund.

“That’s the plan. That’s what we need. It has to be done within the 10-year time frame.”

She and Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore both said Stone must step up and enter active talks with the mayors to spell out what the province will accept.

“This back and forth has got to stop,” Watts said.

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Audrey NolteSpecial to Peace Arch News

My first life ended on March 12, 1998. Friends and family wept, brought

flowers, farewell cards and touching tributes to me.

It had all the makings of a funeral. I was oblivious of this fact, for I had stars in my eyes and an airplane ticket to Canada.

My second life started on March 13, 1998. It was a Friday. There was no welcoming party or celebration at Vancouver International Airport – I was oblivious of this, too.

Like a newborn child who enters this world with too much bright light, noise and cold, I was overwhelmed, but determined to live, grow and flourish in this exciting new place.

I immigrated to Canada with my husband and our four children to Pincher Creek, Alta. It was a gentle way of entering this country – the small community embraced us. I saw the Northern Lights, we visited Waterton Lake Park, saw grizzly bears and went to the Calgary Stampede.

The brief four months there were almost like a holiday in Canada.

In September 1998, reality hit us. We lived in Merritt.

Our older son and daughter, Christiaan, 16, and Roelien, 15, were in secondary school, and our younger son and daughter, Sefie, 11, and Lindi, 10, in elementary. My husband worked at a medical clinic and I stayed home.

The five years of living in Merritt were hell. The children were struggling, my husband had to rewrite four major medical exams – the same ones the Canadian medical students write to end their studies.

The people of Merritt also welcomed us as a family and tried their best to help us adjust, but we had come from a large city in South Africa and it was so hard to live in a town where fog sunk into the valley for most of the winter and the temperature was -16.

For me, it was more than small town and weather. I could not work. Our arrangement with Immigrations Canada gave my husband a temporary workers visa

until he finished all the exams and until the College of Physicians and Surgeons granted him a permanent medical licence.

It would take five years. I came on a visitor’s visa, as did the children.

My children were immensely unhappy, each in their own way. They had lost

their language (we still speak Afrikaans at home), the South African sun, grandparents, friends, ocean December holidays. Their extracurricular activities had ended. They had gained a mother who wanted to go back to South Africa every day and a father who worked night and day in an under-serviced medical community.

Skip forward a few years. We moved to White Rock, where I

was certified as a math teacher. We had landed immigrant status and a house with an ocean view. The two older children were at university and Sefie and Lindi were in Grades 8 and 10 two blocks from home.

Christiaan could not adjust in Canada. He returned to South Africa. Roelien followed him after six months.

I wept at the airport on both occasions, as I would do at a funeral. I knew that my children were going home – to South Africa. They would not return. I had lost two children.

We became Canadian citizens in 2004. It was a highlight of my second life.

But, I was still in daily contact with my two South African children, my mother, sister, friends and other family. Disaster or joy struck almost daily. It is complicated and exhausting to simultaneously live in two countries.

I longed for my lost children.

Christiaan had married and I have a grandson, Johan. I still wanted to go home.

The problem is that after 15 years in Canada, we, as the immigrants to this land, cannot go home anymore: Home is not there anymore. We changed.

For my entire second life, I lived as an adopted child would. I had lost my motherland and hated this new parent, Canada, for that fact. An adopted child

lives with the gap of life before I got here.

I wanted to make a list of who I am/was. Desperately. It would read: I am Audrey, the eldest daughter of Rhoda and Wilkie Painter of Krugersdorp. My grandma, Olga, was a seamstress and grandpa worked in the gold mines of South Africa. I did ballet. I…

I rushed to find our memory boxes – containers filled with the small mementos of my first life. I took a hammer, 100-plus copper nails, found an empty wall and banged in the first nail.

One by one, I hung my first life in my Canadian home. Piece by piece.

I wept at times, smiled more often and kept finding things to add to The Immigrant’s Wall.

“I will bring people over here,” I declared. “I’ll tell them who I used to be.”

• • •Friedrich Nietzsche writes in

Ecce Homo: “And so I tell myself my life.”

On this last day of 2013, I sat on the stairs looking at The Immigrant’s Wall and I told myself my first life. I read the farewell letters from 1998 and touched grandma Olga’s crocheted tea doily. My daughter’s ballet shoes and baby shoes hang here. My sons have toy cars, a first watch and gymnastics/sports medals. The two flags of my complicated motherland are pasted side by side.

I will not share The Immigrant’s Wall with too many people.

You see, neighbour Trina, Mary from tennis, friend Heather and teaching colleagues know nothing about the concept of first life. They know me as Audrey from Canada, and they all like me for who I am. Now.

Nietzsche writes: How should I not be grateful to my whole life?

I end with these exact words. I am grateful for my whole life: I have been one of the privileged humans on this earth. I had a fascinating first life in South Africa and an amazing second life in a country called Canada.

My body, heart and soul live here now.

I can go for a short visit to The Immigrant’s Wall whenever I wish to.

I’m home.• • •

*In April 2013, my daughter Roelien returned to Canada after being away for nine years and nine months (mothers count). Miraculously. I knew she was here to stay. We are overjoyed.

Audrey Nolte is a writer and she lives in White Rock. She is married to Seef Nolte and they have four adult children.

sports…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

The Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship returns to South Surrey next week.

And once again, some of the best interna-tional and club teams in the world are slated to take part in the 10-day tournament, which runs from July 11-21.

But in addition to the on-field action, a handful of youth clinics for local players is also on tap.

Youth softball clinics, for boys and girls aged

8-16, are scheduled for July 15 through the 18 at Sunnyside Park. Participants will get the opportunity to learn from some of the best players in the game, as members of Team Canada, Japan, Mexico and the United States are set to help out.

As well as on-field instruction, the national team players will share stories of dedication and perseverance with the young ballplayers.

Clinics will run from 9-11:30 a.m. daily, and participants will receive a T-shirt as well as

one complimentary child/teen admission to a Canadian Open game on July 16.

For players younger than eight years old or who are new to the sport, a pair of introduc-tion-to-softball clinics are also scheduled, for Saturday, July 12 (9 a.m.-12:30 p.m.) and July 19 (1-4:30 p.m.). Participants will spend the day with Softball BC instructors learn-ing the basics of the game and will also have the opportunity to join the Canadian Open’s parade of athletes on July 16.

The Canadian Open games begin July 11 with the Showcase (U16) Gold and Select division games, and the Futures (U18) tour-ney begins July 14. The women’s elite bracket – which features top North American club teams – runs July 12-20 while the international division begins July 15 and wraps up July 21.

For more information on the tournaments or the clinics, or to register for the latter, visit www.canadianopenfastpitch.com

Softball clinics for Canadian Open coming to Peninsula

Alex BrowneStaff Reporter

There’s a whole lot of packing going on – as

announcements of NHL hockey trades and drafts have an impact locally as well as provincially.

Not only did the Vancouver Canucks trade centre Ryan Kesler to the Anaheim Ducks, but a teammate, White Rock’s Jason Garrison, is also on

the move.The former Florida

Panther is heading back to the Sunshine State, after just two years in the Lower Mainland, following a trade between the Canucks and Tampa Bay Lightning announced just hours before the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.

In the trade, the Canucks gained the 50th overall pick in the June 30 draft, while Tampa also received rights

to Jeff Costello and Vancouver’s

seventh round pick for 2015.Garrison – who last year stood

at seven goals and 33 points in 81 games played – spent two full seasons with the Canucks after signing in 2012. He has four years left on his deal with an annual cap hit of $4.6 million.

The fourth-round NHL draft Saturday also impacted a pair of former Surrey Eagles.

Former Eagles captain Danton Heinen of Langley and Abbotsford’s Devon Toews were drafted – Heinen by the Boston Bruins and Toews by the New

York Islanders.Heinen, 19, had been taking

summer classes ahead of his freshman season with the University of Denver Pioneers hockey team when he received news of the draft.

In his first year of the BCHL, he led the Surrey Eagles — and all BC Hockey League rookies — in scoring with 29 goals and 62 points in 57 games. Despite being a first-year player, he wore the captain’s ‘C’ for the second half of the season.

“(He’s an) offensive player, a real

high-skilled player,” Keith Gretzky, Boston’s director of amateur scouting, said of the six-foot, 160-pound forward on the Bruins’ website.

“He has to gain some strength — that’s his one concern right now. There’s a lot of kids that have to get stronger, and he has to get stronger.”

Freshman defenseman Toews was playing for Qunnipiac University’s Bobcats in Hamden, Conn. when drafted by the Islanders.

Soggy weather did little to dampen spirits at a recent softball tourna-ment held in honour of a Crescent Beach resident. The Scotiabank fourth annual Rick Bracey 29-er Softball Tournament raised $31,000 to help families and doctors dealing with von Hippel-Landau (VHL) syndrome.

The funds bring the four-year total to $101,000 – just over the $100,000 organizers were shooting for.

“It was a huge success,” coach Jason

Brooks told Peace Arch News.Bracey succumbed to VHL in the

summer of 2010, after a nine-year battle with the rare genetic disorder. It causes abnormal growth of blood ves-sels, which knot into tumours, some of which are cancerous.

This year’s tournament was held June 14 at Softball City in South Surrey.

More than 100 players donned jer-seys bearing Bracey’s number 29. He was an avid fan of the game.

Are implants successful?Implants, as we know them today, have been in existence for at least twenty-fi ve years. For the last ten years, however, success rates at many treatment centers are consistently over 95% with proper personal and professional care. Few forms of medical, orthopedic or dental treatment have such high success rates.What is the procedure like?There are actually two phases to implant dentistry:Phase 1: With great care, implants are placed into the jawbone. The gum tissues are then closed and the healing phase begins. This may take anywhere from 3-6 months. Sometimes , the implants may be put to use immediately.Phase 2: Creating and fi xing the new tooth or teeth to the implant structure. Implants can replace a single tooth, several teeth or your dentures.Does it hurt?Usually, discomfort is not a problem. You will be given appropriate medications during and after the procedure. We urge you to ask other patients how they felt after implant therapy.How long will it take?Most implant supported dentures cases are completed in three to four days.For other situations, the complete process may take anywhere from 4-8 months, based on where the implants are placed and the type of restoration you desire.Will I be without teeth?This may vary depending on the individual case. You may be without your teeth for several days. We will make sure that in the interim period, you look and feel very natural.How do I take care of my implants?Normal routine home care and professional cleaning visits are required. It is important to know that every 3-6 months, you will need to have a routine hygiene treatment and evaluation.Are they expensive?Initially, you might feel dental implants are expensive. However, they represent a more permanent and natural solution than

dentures and partials. Thus, there is a greater initial investment. They should last for years, particularly if you have an “ideal” case. Independent surveys of implant patients show that they felt the investment was worth every penny and would do it again!How much do they cost?Each case is different. Cost is a function of your particular needs. After a complete examination, your doctor will more specifi cally determine your dental needs and the best treatment alternative(s) for you. At that point, you can specifi cally address the question of cost and be helped with fi nancial arrangements.Will My Insurance Pay for Implants?Very few dental insurance plans cover implant placement; however, fabrication of the replacement teeth may be partially covered.

Are implants successful?
