Construction material, trampled foliage among intrusions found at Sunnyside Acres

Urban forest under attack from visitors

Union disclosure

Hiebert proud ofhis bill’s successAlex BrowneStaff Reporter

MP Russ Hiebert is thanking Conservative MPs and senators for making his controversial pri-vate member’s bill, C-377, law.

The bill requiring public disclo-sure of union finances – which critics have called a transparent exercise in union-busting – passed third reading in the Senate and was given Royal Assent by the Gover-nor General on Tuesday.

Hiebert, who has not responded to Peace Arch News’ requests for an interview, issued a news release Tuesday afternoon.

“I am very pleased to see my bill pass,” he said in the release. “This is certainly a great personal achieve-ment and an important step for Canada. I am grateful to all my Conservative colleagues, MPs and senators, who have stood with me to make this bill law.”

Chunks of concrete, chesterfields and con-struction material are not what most people expect to find when they wander through Sunnyside Acres Urban Forest.

But it’s exactly the kind of thing those who steward the protected, second-growth forest say they come across routinely – and with the hot, dry weather of late, they’re worried the activities the illegal dumping represents, such as campfires and smoking, could seri-ously damage the 130-hectare park.

“Our objective is basically to discour-age anyone from being in the forest in

an unsanctioned condition,” Ron Meadley, president of the Sunnyside Acres Heritage Society, said last week during a walk through the trails.

Meadley walks through and cycles around the urban forest in South Surrey on an almost-daily basis, watching for signs that people have wandered – or cycled – off of the well-established paths.

The meanderings damage the understory, disturb wildlife and increase the risk of fire, he said.

While some intrusions are blatant, the extent of others can take a degree of tracking to reveal. Such was the case last week, after

a vehicle parked adjacent to the forest in the 2500-block of 144 Street caught the eye of a society director, who alerted Meadley.

Although the vehicle was gone when Mead-ley got there, he recognized the licence-plate numbers on a vehicle parked in the same location the following evening, and wan-dered into the forest to investigate further. Hearing voices and noticing signs of a new path – trampled salal (native shrub), and broken ferns and sticks – Meadley called the city’s hotline (604-501-5050) to report his suspicion that something was amiss.

Soon after, he discovered a cache of con-struction material that had been carried to the base of a large, four-trunk big leaf maple tree located about 200 feet from the roadway.

White Rock single-family home residents saw some of the options the city is exploring for the future of garbage pickup at a public infor-mation meeting this week.

Around 60 people attended the open house Tuesday evening at White Rock Community Centre, which included information rang-ing from recycling and compost-ing tips to details about Metro Vancouver’s organics ban and a ‘test your knowledge’ quiz to see how much residents knew about residential solid waste.

White Rock’s manager of oper-ations and engineering Greg St. Louis was kept busy answering questions from residents, in large part about whether the city would keep pickup services in-house, or choose to contract them out to a private company.

In January, the city announced it would be “privatizing” waste pickup for multifamily residences and businesses effective July 1 – which resulted in a barrage of criti-cism – and that it would issue a request for proposals for contract-ing out single-family collection.

Information on display at this week’s meeting highlighted that proposals from the private sec-tor are “exploratory,” a senti-ment echoed by St. Louis who said reviewing the city’s services is “good business practice.”

Some in attendance Tuesday said they did not support the city priva-tizing garbage pickup; one resi-dent, who gave her name only as Megan, told St. Louis she would be in favour of paying higher taxes to keep the service within the city.

“We should be keeping our ser-vices in-house,” she said, noting that the city already has skilled workers who are more likely to put money back into the local econ-omy than outside workers.

“Our community becomes poorer when we decide to opt for the bot-tom line and save some money in the short term.”

Representatives from the city workers’ union were also on hand, rallying to keep waste pickup ser-vices local.

“Our guys do a top-notch ser-vice, and I hope people realize that,” CUPE 402-01 president Mike Guraliuk said. “I think a lot of them do, a lot of people aren’t happy about this.”

One group of East Beach resi-dents at the meeting were gather-ing support for garbage to be kept

out of the city’s works yard on Keil Street, suggesting that current practices – which include using the yard as a transfer station before waste is transported out of the city – are creating health and envi-ronmental hazards for residents in the area.

Diane Bradley told Peace Arch News she has collected more then 60 signatures from residents in her neighbourhood who are unhappy

with the city’s use of the operations yard, noting that noise, vermin, mould, bacteria and strong odours – from the waste and diesel trucks – are among the concerns they are facing.

“They’re dumping rotting gar-bage, rotting kitchen waste in a residential neighbourhood,” Brad-ley said.

“There are health issues. We have to shut our windows because of the

diesel, and the noise is outrageous.” Bradley said the city’s current sys-

tem is “redundant,” pointing out that city trucks bring waste collected curbside to the operations yard, where it is dumped into bins, to later be picked up by private waste haulers and taken out of the city.

“They’re just wasting time and money, the environment and our health,” she said.

“It just doesn’t make sense, it should be put on the curb and taken out, and I don’t care who does it. Just get it out of here.”

St. Louis said he is well aware of the East Beach residents’ concerns and communicates with them “on a regular basis” about ways to miti-gate their concerns.

“We try to be good neighbours,” St. Louis said. “But it is our opera-tions yard, even if you move the garbage away, you’re still going to have our crew there, we’re still going to have trucks and plows in the win-ter. There’s no getting rid of that.”

Tuesday’s meeting came on the eve of big changes to garbage ser-vice around White Rock. As of Wednesday, single-family home-owners pay an annual user fee ($175 for the remainder of 2015; $350 for 2016), which replaces an amount paid in the general-tax levy.

Wednesday was also the first day that multifamily units and busi-nesses became responsible for their own solid-waste pickup.

The decision, made at an in-cam-era council meeting in December, sparked a backlash from multi-family residents, who rallied at city hall in March calling for the city to reverse its decision.

Despite the negative response, the city voted in April to stay the course and cease multifamily pickup as a city responsibility.

Options for the future of sin-gle-family solid-waste pickup are expected to be brought to council in the fall, St. Louis said.

Metro Vancouver voters have resoundingly defeated a proposal to add a 0.5 per cent sales tax in the region to fund transit and transportation expansion.

The proposed Metro Vancou-ver Congestion Improvement Tax that would have funded $7.5 billion in upgrades over 10 years was rejected with 61.7 per cent of voters saying ‘no’ and 38.3 per cent saying ‘yes’.

The ‘yes’ side lost in every major city of the region – even in Van-couver, where it got 49.1 per cent – and only won in sparsely populated areas like Belcarra and Bowen Island.

The defeat leaves the region without an esti-mated $250 million the tax would have brought to expand transit.

Surrey and Vancouver are expected to try to cobble together their own plan-B strategies to build light rail in Surrey and a SkyTrain extension west along Broadway.

But the region will be without the funding required for a broad 25-per-cent expansion of bus ser-vice, including many more fre-quent express-bus routes that had been in the mayors’ plan, nor will it have money for increased SkyTrain, HandyDart, night bus or SeaBus service that was to have

swiftly kicked in after a ‘Yes’ vote.Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner

had warned that light rail would cost local residents more if the sales tax was defeated.

Nor is it clear if light rail in Sur-rey – assuming it can be built with hefty senior government contribu-tions – will be as viable and efficient in cover-ing its operating costs if it is not accompanied by much-bolstered con-necting bus routes to bring riders.

“It sets up a really nasty situation where some people are getting improved rapid-transit

service in some areas but other people’s transit service is being cut back,” said Eric Doherty, a HandyDart advocate.

‘Yes’ forces had argued defeat would mean worsening conges-tion as the population grows and demand pressures worsen on a frozen transit system, spur-ring more transit users to drive instead.

‘No’ campaign head Jordan Bateman highlighted many vot-ers’ unwillingness to pay more – especially to TransLink – and

argued more money could be found if cities restrained their own spending and tax growth.

He successfully framed the campaign as a vote on TransLink, which he accused of misman-agement and which had come off major SkyTrain breakdowns and a failure to fully launch its Compass card payment system on time.

Mayors never wanted the ref-erendum and said something as crucial as transit expansion should not go to a public vote.

They had previously wrung a pledge from former premier Gordon Campbell to allow a new transit revenue source. But Pre-mier Christy Clark backtracked from his stance and promised in the 2013 provincial election a new tax source for TransLink would only be allowed if it was approved by local voters.

Mayors agreed last year to the vote and chose a hike in the provincial sales tax from 7.0 to 7.5 per cent, rather than other options, such as a vehicle levy.

With the sales tax rejected, mayors could still raise Trans-Link property taxes, but they are loathe to do so. That option has been repeatedly suggested by the premier.

If mayors hold firm to the need for a new source, it’s unclear how that can happen without a new referendum the premier has said can’t be held before the next municipal elections in 2018.

Question: My dad inherited a very valuable Faberge

Egg which he kept at his home. He told me he was giving it to me. When at his house I saw that he had put a note on it with my name on it. He did this with several less expensive objects for my brother and sister. I enjoyed looking at the Faberge at his home in anticipation of having

the proceeds of it for my early retirement. My dad died leaving a very simple will dividing his estate equally between the three of us. None of the objects including the Faberge was mentioned. My siblings say that the Faberge comes out of my equal share, and I say it is in addition to my share. Who is right?

Answer: Neither of you. The Faberge belongs to the estate because it was never “delivered” to you.

Unless you three come to an unanimous agreement, the Faberge will be sold and the proceeds given equally to you and your brother and sister.

Discussion regarding funding to replace the wooden retain-ing wall on White Rock’s Marine Drive hillside turned icy Monday, when one councillor was cut short by the mayor for asking a question he deemed irrelevant.

“I’m sorry, Coun. (Helen) Fathers, that’s not really got much to do with the retaining wall,” Mayor Wayne Baldwin said, when Fathers asked how much of $80,000 that had been budgeted for vegetation clearing in the area had been spent and if the work was com-plete.

“I’m not going to take that as a question.”

The funding at issue was the subject of a pro-posed amendment to the city’s financial plan – and among three discussed and ultimately approved during the special coun-cil meeting Monday – that would enable work initially budgeted for 2016-2017 to pro-ceed this year.

It pulls $225,000 in funding for the work from general rev-enue ($50,000), a capital reserve ($125,000) and the capital con-tingency budget ($50,000).

Fathers disputed that her ques-tion was irrelevant, noting the vegetation management was

done to enable access to the retaining wall.

Cut off by Baldwin a second time – to the audible disbelief of some in the gallery, which prompted Baldwin to caution

former councillor Mar-garet Woods that if she couldn’t restrain herself, “she should leave” – Fathers said she had “no option” but to challenge the chair.

“… which I have never done, and I would like the answer to my ques-tion done.”

However, a motion by Coun. Lynne Sinclair to uphold the chair won out, with Fathers casting the sole opposing vote.

Baldwin later told Peace Arch News that the information Fathers was seeking was “off-topic and had no relationship to what was at task.”

As well, he said he sus-pected it was leading up to “re-discussing” the hillside-clearing issue –

which has been a bone of conten-tion among residents since early May – as a whole.

In response to earlier ques-tions from the public, director of engineering Greg St. Louis told council that the retaining-wall project had initially been budgeted for 2016-2017, because “we didn’t believe we’d be able to get (property owner) Burling-

ton’s approval.” That approval has since been received, he said.

St. Louis noted that a draft plan for the remaining hillside work has yet to be finalized, but will include the removal of some additional trees and brush to get to the retaining walls, “because they’re in a poor state and affect-ing the slope.”

Regarding an amendment to add a $1-million upgrade to Memorial Park/Spirit Square, Fathers and Coun. David Chesney were the only council members to oppose the expense.

Fathers said she couldn’t vote on something that council hasn’t even discussed.

“Council hasn’t even approved it in principle,” she said.

Told the situation was much like that with the Johnston Road improvement program – where funds were being allocated without a firm design in hand – Fathers disputed the comparison.

“The biggest difference is we’ve had conversations about the Johnston Road (project). I have no knowledge of the Spirit Square. That’s the problem.”

Chesney said he “doesn’t see the value” of an upgrade to Memo-rial Park, saying he would pre-fer to see Bayview Park in West Beach expanded.

Baldwin said the issue is not about approving the project itself.

“At this stage of the game, that project is approved. There’s no point in going back and talking about it,” he said.

Metro Vancouver residents can kiss another $5.8 million goodbye.

That money – our money, which might conceivably have been better-used for transit improvements somewhere in the region – was what Metro Vancouver mayors spent to persuade us to say ‘yes’ in the recent transit plebiscite.

It was supposed to persuade us to approve a 0.5 per cent sales tax to fund transit and transportation expansion in the region.

Instead, as was announced Thursday, those who voted had the temerity to say ‘no’, by a whopping 60 per cent.

Even in White Rock, it was a 60-40 split leaning to the ‘no’ side, while in Surrey, residents voted almost two-to-one against the tax hike.

What voters were saying, of course, a little more than simply ‘no’. They were saying was that they’d sooner wither and die in terminal gridlock than fork over another $7.5 billion to TransLink, as it now stands. It is an unmissable thumbs-down to an organization that many believe – rightly or wrongly – is bloated, overpaid, mismanaged, inefficient and urgently in need of reform.

Indeed, it will be surprising if TransLink, haunted by the spectres of SkyTrain breakdowns and inability to deliver the Compass card pay system on time, escapes this current roasting unscathed.

But the failure does not simply belong to TransLink or the mayors’ ‘yes’ campaign.

The biggest fail for this pointless and wasteful exercise – the plebiscite is not even binding on government, it should be noted – belongs to the BC Liberal government.

The mayors had long resisted the notion of a referendum, arguing that transit expansion was too crucial to be dependent on such a vote, and former premier Gordon Campbell had committed to allowing a new revenue source for transit.

All that was scuttled by a 2013 election promise by Premier Christy Clark that a new source of TransLink funding would be allowed only if approved by regional voters. It was this blithe promise that cornered the mayors into supporting the plebiscite and campaigning for the ‘yes’ vote.

We don’t elect government to simply provide photo-ops and feel-good moments for politicians. We don’t elect governments to side-step responsibilities. We elect governments to govern, not to hit the ball back into our court in the face of potentially unpopular decisions.

Look where you will to apportion blame for the current fiasco – it is primarily a failure of government.

A failure of government

opinionPeace Arch News

On Wednesday we celebrated the 148th Canada Day, and I hope we all came together to

recognize the beauty of our country, celebrate its successes, and appreciate the greatness of the nation that we live in.

Canada is known for its multicultural spirit and its support for peace and human rights. Every year around Canada Day, we should highlight these principles and enjoy the parties and events. We should also look back on the year that has passed since the previous celebration and see if our political leadership and governments are continuing to respect these values.

The government most recently brought into force a certain section of Bill C-24, which I believe puts Canadian citizenship at risk and is flawed from both a substantive and procedural law aspect.

Lawyers, non-governmental groups, civil liberty advocates and Canadians from different walks of life have raised

serious concerns about these changes to the Citizenship Act. Canadians want a safe and secure Canada, but they also want to maintain their rights and the Constitution.

In fact, the recent changes that were brought in with Bill C-24 will permit a minister to take away someone’s citizenship. This threatens the legal rights an individual should have and puts the fate of a person’s citizenship in the hands of a politician.

In addition to this problem, there are many other legal and moral issues with the law, which have not been

addressed or rectified. Such changes to our laws pose a threat to what we celebrate on Canada Day – ideas of justice, fairness and equality before the law.

Canada Day is a day to rejoice in our achievements as a nation. It should also be a time to think about how our

country can improve even further, such as by combatting poverty, maintaining our fundamental rights and addressing other issues affecting our society.

Because as the fireworks lit up the sky on Canada Day, there were thousands of Canadians facing homelessness and millions of others living in poverty.

According to the report, The State of Homelessness in Canada 2014, 35,000 Canadians are homeless on a given night and 235,000 Canadians experience homelessness in a year. Thousands of Canadians struggle to find shelter and do not have access to the basic needs that all of humanity has a right to.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 25 (1) states: “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services.” An

inadequate government response at the provincial and federal levels has allowed homelessness and poverty to persist in our country.

I hope that our government leaders will address the issues we face so that each and every Canadian can enjoy Canada Day going forward.

Not easy to make a standEditor:Re: The multi-faceted value of trees, June 24 column.

I just read columnist Anne Murray’s article on the importance of trees, and it’s a perfect summary of the benefits of forests and the problems faced by developers under pressure to minimize lot size and maximize house square footage.

Many of us here in South Surrey are saddened to see beautiful forests clear cut for high-density housing that almost completely eliminates landscaping.

The few people I know who find ways of speaking out feel like we’re talking into a vacuum.

I started a blog last year (www.savesunnysidetrees.wordpress.com), and one of my friends started one this year (www.growingupgrandview.wordpress.com) and others have started an entire neighbourhood organization (www.grandviewstewardship.org) that’s helping residents speak out about rezoning practices.

It’s still hard for residents to feel that our views are heard, so it’s heartening to see a well-written article in Peace Arch News that supports our opinions and gives us encouragement to keep trying.

Thank you for your beautiful article, and I hope everyone involved in the urbanization of South Surrey can realize the benefits of city forests while the trees still stand.Alisa P. Ramakrishnan, Surrey

Public showof disrespect

Open letter to White Rock mayor and council.

When you laugh at Margaret Woods when she is asking questions of council about why much of the 50 per cent premium we pay on taxes in White Rock goes into the $44 million slush fund, you are laughing at all of the citizens of White Rock who have exactly the same question.

When you snicker at Woods when she is asking why the city is sitting on $44 million of taxpayers’ money in reserves and continuing to raise taxes, you are snickering at the citizens of White Rock.

When you mock Woods when she is asking why you falsely call reserves “mandatory” – when in fact they are clearly “discretionary” – you are mocking the citizens of White Rock.

When you disrespect Woods, you disrespect the citizens of White Rock, who are in fact your employers.

Is it any wonder that many of the citizens of White Rock feel the way they do about addressing council?

My sense is that your behaviour produces exactly the results you are looking to achieve. The behaviour of mayor and council strangles community engagement and blocks the citizens of White Rock from participating in the kind of public process that the Community Charter is intended to achieve.

Each and every council member who sat there June 22 and allowed this treatment of a citizen of White Rock to continue without calling Mayor Wayne Baldwin and Coun. Lynne Sinclair on it is guilty of enabling this sad and sorry treatment of a citizen who asks questions.

Is it any wonder you have the problems with staff morale and the culture at city hall that you do?

Your behaviour models to all how they should treat citizens. You send a very clear message to all of the employees of the city and, quite frankly, your staff is much better than that and do not want to treat people that way. Nor do they want to work in an environment where that kind of disrespect to citizens is modelled by the leaders and is at the heart of the culture.

Baldwin and Sinclair owe Woods a sincere public apology at the next council meeting. Ross Buchanan, White Rock

LosingpatienceEditor:

On June 22, I had an appointment at a White Rock health centre to see about getting into a keep-fit program.

The person I talked to couldn’t find a pulse, so sent me to Peace Arch Hospital for an EKG. The

EKG showed I had a very low pulse rate, so I would have to go to emergency.

I left the hospital, as I knew what kind of treatment I would be getting, as I had been in “that” place before.

I got home and had a message on my answering machine from my doctor’s office saying they wanted me to go back to the hospital.

I arrived around 5 p.m., was admitted and five times they tried to put an IV in me.

Never did they take a warm towel or blanket and put it on my arms or hands to get the vein to swell up, so they would be able to find it easier.

Never did they apply pressure so there would be little or no bruising on my arms or hands when they took the needle out.

Five times they tried to take three vials of blood. They managed to get

two vials after much probing.I discharged myself at 8:30 p.m.When I got home and removed

the so-called ‘bandages’, it was not hard to see the bruising from all the poking/prodding. The only way they will ever get me back in that hospital is in a body bag.F.A. Van-Lane, Surrey

Fundraising makes work Editor:

I am a longtime supporter and contributor to our hospital through the Peace Arch Hospital & Community Health Foundation.

It is with interest I perused the latest financial statements (2014) on the PAH foundation website and I have a few questions:

Why does it take 13 staff members to collect $2.5 million in donations at a cost of $1.319 million for wages and administration?

Most of the gross revenue is unrealized as gains on securities and passive interest income. The majority of the real work done is for fundraising and disbursements, and the 2014-15 disbursements were only $713,000.

It seems to me that the PAH foundation is a make-work project and contributors are not getting the full story. Lynne Spence, Surrey

After an evening of festivities, these

model citizens head home to wherever at greater speeds and louder noise than

when they entered town. Finally, some peace after 2 a.m.

Jim Saunders

Submissions will be edited for clarity, brevity, legality

and taste.

File photoQuiet moments on Marine Drive during the summer months are few and far between, writes Jim Saunders.

Editor:Perhaps White Rock’s motto, “Our city by the sea,”

should be amended to something along the lines of “Our city by the sea welcomes speeding and excessively noisy cars and motorcycles.”

Of course, this welcome mat would need the caveat that the invitation only extends 5:30 a.m. to 2 a.m. the following day and is confined to Marine Drive, as the good residents do need some time to sleep.

Seriously, the speeding and noise is getting completely out of hand. It starts at about 5 a.m. with cars and motorcycles eastbound along Marine Drive apparently in a hurry to get to work. The majority are travelling in excess of 50 mph and, God forbid, if one is going too slow, a revved-up, backfiring motorcycle will pass with the rider paying no attention to noise and safety factors.

After the morning ‘rush’ hour, things are calmer – with the exception of heavy trucks driving at what seems maximum speed to get to and from work sites.

It is not that long ago one of our seniors was killed on Marine Drive, apparently by a truck.

During the afternoon, the bikes appear for the ‘strut my stuff ’ ride, speeding with noisy straight pipes and no regard for anyone else. Invariably, these bikes can be seen

parked at or near pubs and other licensed premises.After the supper hour, the fun really starts. The

motorcycles travel in packs and there seems to be a competition who can make the most noise. Souped-up cars with the same ‘look at me’ attitude love to plague our streets – the fumes thrown in at no extra charge to enhance one’s walk or meal on a patio.

After an evening of festivities, these model citizens head home to wherever at greater speeds and louder noise than when they entered town. Finally, some peace after 2 a.m.

It would be unfair to point fingers at all drivers. Most obey the speed limit and do not cause excessive noise.

To increase traffic calming and curb those who want to ‘show-off ’ their vicariously obtained power, I would recommend our authorities enforce the municipal noise bylaw and the provisions of the provincial Motor Vehicle Act. Council should also consider rumble strips.

If all else fails, perhaps our city fathers should consider having the sheriff meet these people at our city limits and have them check their cars, trucks and bikes before coming into town. Just like the Old West.

Whatever, it must impressed on these types that they are not welcome in “our city by the sea”.Jim Saunders, White Rock

Spirit of the Old West is needed

Tracy Holmes photoF.A. Van-Lane shows his IV bruises.


One board was affixed to the tree with two long, large screws; several others – two-by-fours, two-by-sixes, plywood and more – lay atop the understory.

Meadley figures the material was dumped about a week prior, for use in some form of construction within the forest. As with all other things illegally placed in Sunnyside Acres, “we took it out right away,” he said.

Meadley said the immediate action – which has been needed “a fair amount” in the past four years – is hoped to raise awareness of the fact that there are many eyes keeping tabs on the forest, and prompt those con-sidering leaving their own impression to think twice.

“That message is extremely impor-tant,” he said.

He encouraged others who enjoy the forest to do their part to curb problems by reporting suspicious behaviours and findings.

“That would be a big help,” he said. “If they see the same thing several times and there’s no neighbours in the immediate area, that’s a clue.”

Reporting fire hazards is something else that must be done without delay, he said, pointing to the 604-501-5050 hotline that’s on signage throughout the park.

Smoking materials pose a particular risk, especially during the current heat wave, and a fire would start easily, spread quickly and “wipe the whole thing out,” Meadley said. It could also threaten nearby homes, many of which have cedar-shingle roofing.

Meadley acknowledged that many of the deleterious activities in the forest are not recognized by those responsible for them as a problem.

At the same time, the future of the forest is in their hands as much as it is in those of the stewards.

“It’s the people that make or break what’s going to happen here,” Mead-ley said.

Hiebert’s release noted the South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP was the first selected to intro-duce a bill for private member’s business at the beginning of this Parliament, in 2011, and that his bill “is literally the last piece of legislation to be passed.”

“Four years is a long time to fight for a bill, but C-377 will have a substantial impact on the lives of millions of union members who will, for the first time, see where their hard-earned dues are going.”

Hiebert says the law, which comes into effect at the end of 2015, will allow “union members and the gen-eral public to evaluate the effective-ness of unions: institutions which spend about $5 billion annually.”

Passage in the Senate followed Friday’s surprise overruling of the Senate speaker, Conservative Leo Housakos, by the Conservative majority, to force a vote on the bill.

The bill had been challenged as “unconstitutional” by constitu-tional experts and provinces, which said it was an intrusion into pro-vincial jurisdiction. Seven prov-inces – Ontario, Quebec, Mani-toba, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI and Alberta – had asked the Senate not to pass the bill.

Two significant infrastruc-ture improvements have opened in the past week,

and unlike the usual changes to transportation corridors, these ones directly benefit pedestrians and cyclists.

Cyclists and pedestri-ans can now use a multi-use pathway over the new Port Mann Bridge. It opened Wednesday.

This pathway was promised way back when the BC Liberal government under then-premier Gordon Campbell and then-transportation minister Kevin Falcon announced plans for the new bridge and Highway 1 improve-ments, under what was called the Gateway program. That announcement was made in January 2005, prior to the pro-vincial election later that year.

The three-metre-wide barrier-separated path connects to United Boulevard and Lougheed Highway on the Coquitlam side, and to 112 Avenue in Surrey via a new path along the top of Johnston Hill on the north side of Highway 1.

The path has been much-delayed, largely due to the complicated overpass and access structure on the Coquitlam side of the bridge. The many changes and improvements there are the reason Coquitlam-bound traf-

fic has had to get into separated lanes east of 152 Street and travel across the bridge on those separated lanes.

Work at that end of the bridge still isn’t complete, but the finish

date is getting closer.When the bridge

project was announced, Falcon made a point of saying it would be accessible to pedestrians and cyclists – unlike the former bridge.

He also promised transit service across the bridge, a promise that has been kept, albeit minimally.

Until last fall, there was no transit service across the bridge from

Surrey, and there is still none from Coquitlam. The one bus route that crosses the bridge is the 555, which goes from Car-volth exchange in Langley, stops at 156 Street just off Highway 1, and then terminates at Braid Station in New Westminster. While it is possible to get a bus from Braid to Coquitlam, it’s time-consuming and few transit riders bother.

The other transportation cor-ridor improvement is in White Rock.

The city has completed two improved pedestrian crossings of the BNSF railway tracks to allow beachgoers safer access to the beach west of the pier.

These have been pursued since a Transport Canada inspection of crossings, following the death of a jogger two years ago, called for major improvements.

There are now much-improved crossings at Oxford and Ander-son streets.

Despite the improvements, people continue to trespass on the tracks, always a foolish thing to do. The city has already spent $500,000 on these two cross-ings and has ambitious plans to spend about another $2 million more to improve crossings in the East Beach area and at the pier.

During this time of year, White Rock is often jammed with peo-ple. However, there is no need to ever walk on the tracks or stray from the existing crossings.

While trains that go through the area do not travel at high speeds, they are unable to stop if there is someone on the tracks.

There is a wonderful walkway along the length of the beach, and now there are improved crossings to make it even easier to access.

Both sets of infrastructure improvements will allow more people to get out and enjoy the fresh air and outdoors.

Plaudits are due to the various levels of government who have made them happen.

A dozen Surrey and Delta students have been selected to attend science, technology, engineering and math programs in universities across Canada for the month of July.

Local secondary students chosen among 658 for this year’s SHAD program included Ayush Bansal and Dania He from Semiahmoo; Kinsey Church from Earl Marriott; Rachel Woo from Elgin Park; Rianna Chu, Michelle Lu and Ian Leighton from Southridge School; Ken Yu from Seaquam; Fleetwood Park student Jasmine Zhang; Fraser Heights Secondary students Jin Lee and Andrew Gamble; and Jennifer Yi from Pacific Academy.

SHAD is a registered Canadian charity that aims to allow exceptional high school students to recognize their capabilities and envision themselves as tomorrow’s leaders.

“Centred on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM ), SHAD empowers exceptional youth to make the world a better place,”

said SHAD president Barry Bisson in a news release.

“SHAD is where Canada’s top youth achievers are exposed to great ideas, inspired to look at things differently, challenged to reach for the highest levels of excellence and encouraged to embrace their Uncommon Purpose – the pursuit of their own potential to change the world.”

The participants will spend a month living in residence at one of 12 host Canadian universities, such as McMaster, Queen’s and Laval.

Through lectures, workshops and team-building activities run by university faculty and industry leaders, they will be exposed to things they likely haven’t experienced in high school.

“SHAD exposes bright youth to advanced topics and takes them out of their comfort zones,” said Bisson.

Acceptance into the program is highly competitive and applicants are selected based on grades, community focus and their diverse backgrounds.

Elderly residents and caregivers in North Surrey will have easier access to a host of support programs, when Seniors Come Share Society opens a new location later this year.

The expansion, announced at the society’s annual general meeting earlier this month, will see a new site in the Guildford area for its popular day program, which will accommodate 21 seniors, according to Come Share’s executive director Sue McIntosh.

Not only will the new location mean less travel time for many Surrey seniors, McIntosh said it will help to alleviate the wait lists for the two current locations in South Surrey and Newton.

“For individuals in the north, they have to come down with HandyDart or have family drive them to one of the other programs,” McIntosh said. “This means more people will be able to get in the door and benefit

from our programs.” Come Share’s day

program offers seniors therapeutic and recreational activities, as well as meals, health monitoring and the benefit of socializing with other seniors.

The society – now in its 38th year of

operation – also provides information and referral services, a friendly visitor and community meals program, telephone tree volunteers to check up on elderly residents and a volunteer lawyer clinic.

McIntosh noted that over the past fiscal year, Come Share has

connected with more than 51,000 seniors and their families in White Rock and Surrey.

The new North Surrey location is expected to open Oct. 1, and is currently undergoing renovations to meet the program’s needs, McIntosh said.

Don’t tell adults that Munsch Upon A Time is just for kids.

Beach House Theatre’s second production – providing daytime diversion at the Blackie Spit tent auditorium Aug. 12-15, during the run of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest – seems entirely too much of a good time to be confined to just one age group.

And, in truth, many adults end up being in the audience of Beach House’s family-friendly offerings like Munsch Upon A

Time, as parents, grandparents and just for the fun of it.

“It’s really for the kid in all of us, from three to 93,” said director Courtney Shields. “It’s something that you can enjoy at any age – it resounds with us even after we grow up.”

Beach House Theatre has made a tradition of featuring stage adaptations of stories by famed children’s author Robert Munsch since it began four years ago.

Shields, an Elgin Park Secondary grad and South Surrey resident – and keen young working actor on the Vancouver

scene after four years in the UBC theatre program – was an animated acting presence in Beach House’s Munsch shows for the last two years.

Offered the opportunity to direct this year’s show by Beach House founders Candace Radcliffe and Rick Harmon, Shields said she leaped at the chance.

“It’s a very exciting change for me,” said Shields.

“I wanted to stay close to the company and the community, and this is 20 minutes walking distance from where Sebastien Galina photo

Beach House Theatre presents family-friendly production Aug. 12-15

Arts of all kinds were showcased across the border in Peace Arch Park, as the Blaine Artists organization held its annual International Arts and Music Festival June 26-28. The gathering brought together exhibits of painting, photography, jewelry and clothing, as well as the 18th annual Peace Arch International Sculpture Exhibition. Performances included Canada’s own Tiller’s Folly, as well as Latin, native American and British rock and pop music – augmented by gourmet foods, wine-tasting and a beer garden.

I live in Ocean Park – which is a great break for me from commuting downtown,” said Shields (the busy actor is also appearing as corrupt funeral director Mrs. Sowerberry in Theatre Under The Stars’ Oliver this season).

“We have a really strong cast this year – I’m really excited about it,” she added.

Debbie Patterson’s script is another of her clever, wacky, free-form conflations of several Munsch stories, requiring three actors who are, Shields said, “physically versatile and able to play a different range of roles.”

Fortunately, she has Matt Falletta (a notable Malvolio in Twelfth Night for Beach House two seasons ago), Aaron Holt (featured as both of the Antipholus twins in last year’s The Comedy of Errors) and Beach House newcomer Claire Pollock to maximize the fun potential.

“Matt was in Three Munschketeers last year,” Shields said.

“I was really quite thrilled when he walked in to audition this year. He’s incredible – a great talent and so full of energy.

“For Aaron this is something really new this year. He auditioned for both Earnest and

this show, and you know how the main show always needs strong men. But when he auditioned for us, I told Rick and Candace ‘I want him – you should give him to me.’ I guess I won the arm-wrestle on that one.

“I’m excited to have Claire in the show, too. She blew me away in auditions – she understands the style of

characters and she’ll be specializing in the younger parts – she excels with little-kid roles.”

Shields admits she will miss getting up there and playing parts, too, once the show is on its feet, but she’s

also looking forward to watching it once her work is over.

“When you’re in it, you don’t know what it looks like. As director I get to sit back and watch.”

She also enjoys the collaborative process, she said, and feels fortunate to be able to call on the guidance and support of Ian Harmon – director of the last two Munsch shows – whenever she needs it.

Shields, who was one of the star students of recently-retired Elgin Park drama guru Stan Engstrom, says she feels lucky to have retained strong ties with the community, continuing through her Beach House

experience – and to be able to indulge her love of musical theatre with TUTS at the same time.

“It’s pretty fantastic,” she said. “This is a summer where it all seems to be coming together.”

Completing the picture, she will also start as an on-call secondary drama teacher for Surrey School District in the fall.

“It’s like I’m coming full circle,” she said.

“Stan built a wonderful theatre program, and now that I’m going to be working as a teacher, it’s pretty cool to look back on that.”

The second show in White Rock’s Art On Display summer series is the antithesis of Joyce Ozier’s cur-rent abstract exhibit, Marked Pan-els. Panels. Panels.

Being Human by Langley artist Gina Kling (White Rock Commu-nity Centre Gallery, 15154 Russell, July 23-Aug. 28) consists, as the title suggests, of paintings of people – as opposed to the more implied forms of Ozier’s improvisational canvases.

But there’s a lot more to Kling’s work than that.

Her large, imposing canvases con-vey images of life, love and hope in a way that harks back to the work of old-world masters.

Whether painting in watercolour, or drawing free-hand on cotton stretched canvas, and investing her painting with richness and detail through her skill with oils, the Emily Carr-trained, Federation of Canadian Artists member is clearly traveling the same paths as the mas-ters.

And like them, she doesn’t shy away from material that encom-passes the spiritual as part of the human experience.

Drawing inspiration from lesser-known biblical verses, she seeks to depict and evoke the human spirit and all our flaws – and perfections.

In her artist’s statement and pro-motional material Kling says she also seeks to capture a universality

of humanity – “a celebration of our uniqueness and our differences, yet (which) establishes a visual cohe-sive synergy of existence, of being human.”

In the context of contem-porary art, she admits, her choice of biblical verses as material is unusual – even challenging for some.

But she leaves to the viewer her purpose – whether, in choosing such material, she is illustrating a verity she feels needs to be repeated, or touching on the conflict between cultures and beliefs as a means of launching a dialogue.

“The beauty of being Canadian

is our freedom to have a creative voice, even if it is provocative or controversial,” she says.

Her devotion to historical tech-nique has led to many hours of painstaking, detailed work to ensure that each painting, more than sim-ply capturing a moment in time, is embodying a depth of feeling, too.

The exhibit will be launched with an open-ing reception Thursday, July 23 (7-9 p.m.) Gallery hours are 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Thursday;

8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. Visit www.AbsolutelyART.ca for more info.

Pull up a lawn chair, spread a blanket out on the grass and plan to take in some amazing theatre this summer.

Bard in the Valley returns to its comedy roots, after a tragic turn last summer, with Julius Caesar.

Until early August, Langley’s outdoor Shakespeare theatre company presents Love’s Labour’s Lost, a look at the ridiculousness of love.

Bard in the Valley’s 60-plus cast and crew will be on three outdoor stages this summer, offering 16 performances between July 1 and Aug. 2. This is Bard in the Valley’s sixth season.

The play is produced by BIV president, Diane Gendron, while Mandy Dyck is making her directorial debut.

“The play features original, high-energy dances by choreographer and dance instructor Kyra Esau, and two original songs by multi-talented Bard in the Valley cast member and musical director Lauren Trotzuk,” said Gendron.

The audience is invited to come early and bring the whole family. Chairs will also be available at all venues. Theatre snacks

will be sold on site.Admission is free

tonight (Friday) in Fort Langley, and from July 23 on the Spirit Square Stage in Douglas Park in downtown Langley.

The other performances are at Township 7’s Bard in the Vines July 10-18, where tickets are $20.

Donations will be welcome at all performances, to help cover production costs.

“Bard in the Valley is able to continue to offer this exciting, summer theatre to our audiences admission-free because of generous support from the community. In addition, we have a terrific group of 60 talented actors, creative artists and dedicated people on the crew and production team who volunteer their time and energy for the season,” said Gendron.

“This is our way of giving something back to the community.”

Performance dates:• July 3 at 7 p.m. on

the lawn in front of Fort Langley’s historic community hall.

• July 10, 11, 12, 17 and 18, at the Township 7 Winery in South Langley. Tickets can be reserved online at township7.com

• July 23, 24, 25, 26, 30, 31 and Aug. 1 and 2, on the outdoor Spirit Square Stage.

A pair of solid outings from their pitcher lifted the White Rock Tritons to a sweep of the North Delta Blue Jays in a B.C. Premier Baseball League double-header Saturday at Mackie Park.

The visiting Tritons didn’t allow the Blue Jays a run while posting victories of 2-0 and 5-0, improving their won-loss record to 11-22.

Winners of eight of their past 12 games, the Tritons are now just one-and-a-half games back of the Coquitlam Reds in a

four-team race for the final playoff position. Patrick van den Brink threw a complete-

game shutout for the first win Saturday, limiting the Blue Jays to just four hits and four walks while striking out seven batters.

The game remained scoreless until the sixth inning, when the Tritons took the lead. Aaron Wiegert hit a lead-off single, then stole second base.

He moved to third on an infield out, then scored on a sacrifice fly to right field by Thomas Vincent.

White Rock added to their lead in the seventh. Jansen Crossley got on base on a

Blue Jays fielding error, and advanced to third base on a second miscue. He scored on a Nick Kutilin sacrifice to centre field.

White Rock outhit the Blue Jays 12-2 in the second game, but nursed a 1-0 into the late innings.

Danny Hollins scored the winning run in the top of the first inning, hitting a single to get on base, then scoring on a base hit by Jason Hill.

Three runs on four hits in the sixth inning blew the game open. The Tritons added another three runs on four more hits in the seventh.

Hill finished the game with three hits, with Hollins and Vincent adding two each. Vincent drove in a pair of runs.

Barry Caine was the winning pitcher, giving up the two hits and four walks in six innings pitched. He had eight strikeouts.

White Rock was to host the 12-21 Abbotsford Cardinals yesterday (Tuesday) at South Surrey Athletic Park.

The Tritons will be in Victoria for four games this weekend, playing twice against the 12-21 Mariners Saturday, then playing the 25-12 Eagles in a double-header on Sunday.

In recognition of her work over three decades in high school athletics in several

positions, BC School Sports has named Nancy Champagne as its Female Provincial

Coach of the Year.A teacher at

Fleetwood Park Secondary, Champagne

has coached cross country and track and field, and has also volunteered as an

athletic board member, a zone co-ordinator and a provincial commissioner.

“Through all of that, she has remained a tireless advocate for athletics and the importance of sport within our schools,” Fleetwood Park athletic director Mike Sweeney and principal Cory McLaughlin wrote in their nomination letter.

Welcoming all students who wished to try athletics, Champagne has coached more than 2,500 athletes over the years.

Her track-and-field teams haver won more than 15 Surrey district championships since Fleetwood Park opened in 1993.

“This is testimony both to her coaching ability as well as her capacity to motivate athletes to do things they didn’t think were possible,” wrote Sweeney and McLaughlin.

Champagne is the current B.C. high school provincial cross country commissioner. Past accomplishments include lowering entry fees from $40 to $15 per student, introducing a junior championship which is recognized by BC School Sports, and creating a separate governing body for cross country.

Over the years, athletics has grown in the district, which is the largest in the province.

“Surrey is well taken care of,” said Champagne, who was “totally surprised” but the award.

“We get a lot of support and there are a lot of school districts that do not.”

Dozens of young rugby play-ers from the Semiahmoo Pen-insula stormed the B.C. provin-cial regional championships last weekend, taking many of their competitors by surprise accord-ing to one coach.

The two-weekend tournament – which wraps up this coming weekend with U18 boys and U18 girls action – set the stage for the unveiling of a brand new region, Vancouver South, formerly Fra-ser Valley West.

Players from Earl Marriott, Semiahmoo, Southridge and Elgin Park made up the Van-couver South U14, U15 and U16 boys squad and the U16 girls team.

Both U16 squads took home silver medals – as well as numer-ous invites for players to attend provincial camp later this month – results that coach Andy Black-burn described as “outstanding.”

The new Vancouver South region is smaller than its Fraser Valley West predecessor, Black-burn said, noting that, as a result, representation from local high schools is now greater.

“What it means for us, because we created a smaller region, we are able to get more of our local athletes on those teams,” Blackburn said. “We were able to engage probably 125 local play-ers.”

Blackburn described the U16 boys second-place finish as a sur-prise, given the squad was ranked 10th out of 10 teams heading into the tournament.

The squad just narrowly missed out on the gold, losing to Van-couver North in the “dying min-utes” of the finals.

The U16 girls squad were also within reach of first place, losing by two points to Fraser Valley East, a team that Blackburn said is a “well-known powerhouse.”

The U15 boys came third in the weekend tournament – which

was played at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex – defeating Fra-ser Valley East in the bronze medal match; the U14 boys fin-ished in fourth place.

Vancouver South’s U18 boys and girls teams will head to Burnaby for the second half of the regional championships this weekend, and coaches have high hopes that the teams are up for the task.

“Going into this weekend, the U18 boys especially stand a very good chance of doing very well,” Blackburn said.
