As Akiko Sugawara watched video footage of a tsunami sweep through farms, roadways and whole villages in her home country of Japan, she felt heartbreak.

She thought of all her friends and family members in Sendai, the east coast city closest to the earthquake’s epicentre and where she called home for four years while attending college. She thought of her parents, sister and other relatives in nearby Osaki, where the rice-farming family has lived on the same land for 500 years.

And she thought of the aquarium located on Sendai’s coast, where hundreds of bodies have since been found. Sugawara, 32, had taken her two young children to the exhibit during her most recent return trip home, just days before tragedy struck. She had been visiting family for three weeks with two-year-old Anzu and four-month-old Heiwa before returning home to South Surrey March 6.

Four days later, an 8.9-magnitude earthquake

and subsequent tsunami struck the country’s northeast coast, killing thousands.

“The scary thing is she usually goes there for a month, so she would’ve been potentially leaving the day it happened,” husband Daniel Pape said.

Sugawara – who moved to B.C. from Japan eight years ago – was first alerted by a friend’s call Thursday evening, minutes after the quake.

“She thought I was still in Japan and she wanted to let Dan-iel know what happened in Sendai. She was surprised because I picked up the phone. It was about 10 p.m.”

Sugawara didn’t initially worry, as earth-quakes are common in Japan. She experienced up to three quakes during her last visit alone, and she remembers feeling a six- or seven-magnitude quake a couple of years ago.

It was when she checked the news online that she realized this one was different.

“I told my husband and he put on CNN. I started to call my parents but the phone didn’t go through. I tried and tried and tried. For six hours, I couldn’t get through.”

Pape said those six hours were “hell.”

It wasn’t until Sugawara’s sister sent a text message that the couple learned immediate family members were physi-

cally unharmed and Sugawara’s parents’ house – although still standing – was “smashed and destroyed” inside.

When Sugawara was able to let her family know what was being reported, her mother was shocked, Pape said.

“Because of the lack of communication, she

Hogg to eye non-profits

Falcon, Cadieux return to cabinetAlex BrowneStaff Reporter

Two local MLAs are prominent in Premier Christy Clark’s new cabinet, and a third has been rec-ognized with a parliamentary sec-retary post.

Clark named former leadership rival Kevin Falcon (Surrey-Clover-dale) as Minister of Finance, and Stephanie Cadieux (Surrey-Pan-orama) to the newly created com-bined portfolio of Labour, Citizens Services and Open Government.

And while Gordon Hogg (Sur-rey-White Rock) was not named a cabinet member in Monday’s announcement, he was appointed Parliamentary Secretary for Non-Profit Partnerships to Cadieux’s ministry.

Falcon vowed to do “an information job” rather than a “sales job” in advance of the planned referendum on the HST, which could come as early as June.

Cadieux said she is looking forward to the challenge of her new portfolio – which, in effect, has her wearing four hats, including the non-profit partnership component.

“I’m honoured to be there and have that faith put in me,” she said, adding that while she didn’t seek the posts specifically, she was aware she was being considered for them.

(was) certainly not in the know,” he said. “She mentioned if she knew that was happening all around her that she would be in a panic along with the other survivors in the area.”

It took another two days before Sugawara reached her parents by phone.

“I told them what happened and the U.S. army is coming, and (that) kind of informa-tion. They were so surprised – they didn’t have any information about that.”

Sugawara learned her parents – who live about an hour from Sendai – still had no electricity, water or gas by Sunday. Tempera-tures were expected to dip below 0 degrees in the next few days. There were no stores open in the community, and a centre distrib-uting food had hours-long lineups.

Her sister drove hours inland from Miyagi Prefecture to Yamagata Prefecture Sunday for food, gas and water, and was able to get phone reception and call Sugawara.

“I heard people are helping each other even though someone’s not organizing the situ-ation. People are just patiently waiting for help and if somebody has extra stuff, people are just sharing. I think Japanese people are very strong and really proud.”

Sugawara said she doesn’t know what con-dition her family’s farm is in.

“It’s not really a priority right now. Thou-sands of people have been found dead – I think that’s most concerning.”

And while her family still wasn’t aware of the extent of the tragedy around them, Sug-awara said they prefer it that way.

“They don’t want to know right now.”Sugawara has a cousin south of Miyagi

Prefecture who she still hasn’t reached, and she has been looking for missing friends on Google’s people finder, but so far hasn’t found anyone she knows.

“All I can do is pray,” she said. “Even though we didn’t have much time to talk with my parents, they said ‘I am so thankful to God that you are there and our grandchil-dren are there.’”

Sugawara moved to B.C. when she was 24 to experience life in a foreign country for one year. She ended up staying after meeting Daniel and getting a job as a special-needs care worker. Now a stay-at-home mom, she and her family visit Japan once a year and

she speaks with her parents daily via Skype.While she lost regular contact with her

parents in the days since the quake, Sug-awara said she can still offer encouragement to the friends she is able to reach, and “just keep trying to cheer them up.”

Despite feeling shocked and devastated, Sugawara said she has no doubt Japan – a country that rebuilt itself after the atomic bombings of the Second World War – will also make it through this catastrophe.

“Earthquakes happen often, typhoons are coming every year and it is such a small island, but people are really strong, so I believe after this disaster, they’ll rebuild again.”

This week, the country was still grappling with a nuclear emergency, attempting to cool three nuclear reactors at a quake-damaged power plant that had experienced multi-ple explosions since Friday and radioactive leaks. An evacuation zone has been declared within a 20-kilometre radius of the plant.

Pape said the quake has also affected his brother, Matthew, a White Rock resident who met and lived with his wife, Mina Kikuya, for two years in Ishinomaki.

“That’s the city that was wiped out, where the entire village is gone,” Pape said. “It’s obviously very tough for them because a lot of the people they were very close to in that city are either missing or there’s no details yet about whether they’re OK.”

Pape plans to contribute to relief efforts with a fundraiser he is currently planning – a 24-hour relay in which people can skate, run, ride or walk.

Details will be posted at www.colaboinno-vations.com as they become available.

Surrey rethinks smoking ban at bus stops

City offer agreed to ‘under duress’

White Rock’s ‘ultimatum’ gives rise to tree protest

Harper drops in

Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced renewed funding for anti-gang programs during a stop in Guildford Tuesday.

The federal government is com-mitting $37.5 million over five years to renew the Youth Gang Prevention Fund, which funds community-based programs that are intended to keep children and youth away from gangs.

Prior to his announcement, Harper was briefed on one such initiative, the Wrap (Wraparound Surrey) program, during a stop at Surrey RCMP headquarters. He was told of some of the successes of the program, which provides longer-term services and support for gang-associated youth and their families, as well as resources for the educa-tion for the broader community.

Partners include the City of Sur-rey, the Integrated Gang Task Force and Public Safety Canada.

Media were given a limited amount of time to photograph the RCMP briefing before being escorted out. No questions were allowed.

The City of Surrey is backing off its plan to outlaw smoking at bus stops, at least for now.

Last month, city staff was prepar-ing to recommend a no-smoking law for all transit stops in the city.

Planners have dropped that plan and are going to test a ban at a stop in Clayton, where some families complained the bus stop was too close to their homes.

As Peace Arch News reported last month, resident Sophia D’Amato

complained after the city put a bus stop within five metres of her home.

Under the current smoking bylaw, people are not allowed to light up within 7.5 metres (24.6 feet) of any door, window or vent.

Fines for a violation range from $100 to $2,000.

Surrey’s manager of transpor-tation Jaime Boan first said he would recommend to council a city-wide ban on smoking at bus stops. Several other cities have bylaws prohibiting smoking at bus

stops, including Richmond, North Vancouver, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

On Monday, Boan said the city will step back from the initial rec-ommendation and see how it works at the one bus stop. The city will put up a sign at the bus stop out-side D’Amato’s house in the 6700-block of 194 Street and respond to calls for violations. That pilot site will continue for an “indeter-minate period,” Boan said. “We’re going to see if we get complaints at other sites and then we will decide

on how best to proceed.”As it turns out, many bus stops in

this city are already within the 7.5-metre limit, so smoking is already forbidden.

“That already covers off a lot of the city’s bus stops,” Boan said Monday. “If we got complaints at another site, then we could look to put up a sign.”

The law prohibiting smoking within 7.5 metres of a door, win-dow or vent also applies to people lighting up on their own property or the sidewalk in front of the

home.Those could turn out to be pretty

hard to enforce, Boan said.“I don’t see it being practical

for sidewalks, that’s something in future that could be reviewed, depending on feedback from the public,” Boan said.

Parks on deck Monday, council endorsed a report

recommending a bylaw forbidding smoking within Surrey parks.

That bylaw is expected to come forward in the coming weeks.

Two of three Royal Avenue trees are to be removed this week, a resident opposing the work has been told.

Doug Ellerbeck, whose 15140 Royal Ave. property abuts the city land on which the trees sit, told Peace Arch News that he and his wife, Karen, acquiesced to the work after they were “basically given an ultimatum” by White Rock city staff Thursday.

Ellerbeck said he was told if they accepted the offer by 4:30 p.m. Friday, workers would leave one of the trees in question and put in a hedge to help address privacy concerns. If they didn’t accept the offer, all three of the trees would be gone, with no promise of replacement, he said.

They agreed “under duress,” Ellerbeck said.The trees – a flowering plum, a weeping

cherry and a cedar – have been a source of neighbourhood contention for years, with some residents complaining their growth has all-but-obscured their views. Those residents sought permission last summer to have the

trees removed at their own cost, a request that was initially denied because the Ellerbecks opposed it. The city’s tree bylaw stipulates a tree-removal application cannot be approved if any resident within 25 metres opposes it on the basis of an impact to their privacy, screen-ing or shading of their property.

City council, however, voted unanimously in January to accept an appeal by the petition-ers. In making the decision, council agreed the city “has an obligation… to preserve what people had when they came here.”

The Ellerbecks and others have repeatedly

spoken out about the matter during question period in the weeks since.

Some believe the issue is connected to recent vandalism to Coun. Helen Fathers’ vehicles, as well as to tire damage discovered by a contractor hired to remove 24 hazard-ous trees in Maccaud Park.

Friday, about a dozen people gathered outside the Ellerbecks’ home to protest the removal of the Royal Avenue trees. They car-ried placards, spoke to passing motorists and collected signatures.

The effort at this point is more about getting the policy changed for the future, Ellerbeck said.

“Now it’s (policy) 611 that we have to attack,” he said. “It shouldn’t happen to any-body else.”

Neighbour Paul Wilkes – who, in 1998, joined the successful fight to save a decades-old tulip tree at Five Corners – agreed.

Wilkes said he hopes Friday’s demonstra-tion raises awareness “that this policy is favouring people who maybe want to sell their house.”

Martin Drive resident Sally Graham joined the protest out of fear of a similar situation. She lives near mature Douglas firs that stand on city land and are within 25 metres of a proposed two-home development.

“I’m prepared for the worst to happen,” Graham said.

“I’m quite willing to go any lengths to get petitions going. It’s going to impact me quite dramatically.”

Ellerbeck said he is disappointed the city is proceeding with the work before concerns regarding the decision’s legality have been fully addressed. The expense of pursuing a court injunction to stop the work is “not feasible,” he added.

City manager Peggy Clark said Monday that council received a legal opinion on the matter March 8. Clark would not discuss the opinion, but said the scheduled work is a result of council’s Jan. 24 decision.Editor’s note: At Peace Arch News deadline Tuesday, police were called to the site, as neighbours blocked tree cutters. For more, see www.peacearchnews.com and Friday’s paper.

Postings:New faces include

Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake as environment minister, and Comox Valley MLA Don McRae entering cabinet as agriculture minister. Both are facing recall campaigns organized by former premier Bill Vander Zalm’s Fight HST group.

Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Ida Chong stays in cabinet as minister of commu-nity, sport and cultural development.

Burnaby-Lougheed MLA Harry Bloy, the only MLA to support Clark’s leadership bid, was named minister of social development.

Former finance min-ister Colin Hansen joined the backbench. Also left out of Clark’s new cabinet were former ministers Iain Black, Ben Stewart, Margaret MacDiarmid, Murray Coell, Kevin Krueger and Moira Stilwell.

Clark said leaving leadership rival Stilwell out of cabinet was one of the difficult choices she made to reduce the size of cabinet, down to 18 ministers from 23.

Cadieux said she doesn’t see any problems looming on the horizon for the labour compo-nent of her portfolio.

“It’s important that we always make sure that people who work have a good circumstances for that,” she said.

“Overall we have a good situ-ation in B.C., but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t room for improvement.”

Cadieux said she also looks for-ward to making it easier for the public to interact with the pro-vincial government, an area in which she feels that Citizens Ser-vices – formerly a separate min-istry – has already made strides.

“It’s easy for any large organiza-tion to be very comfortable with the way it operates, and to forget that it’s different for somebody

on the outside who doesn’t know where to go. (People) have to get the right level of service when they need it.”

Cadieux said the open govern-ment aspect of her new job is a good fit for her as a former member of the provincial gov-ernment’s freedom of informa-tion and privacy committee.

She said that she believes tech-nological developments can lead to better ways of keeping the public informed about govern-ment decision-making, although high expectations and misunder-standings may always be part of the picture.

“Part of the job is is to say what do we need, what does this mean and how do we move forward – what are the steps?” she said.

“I think, realistically, there will always be some challenges when

it comes to the public’s under-standing of how government operates – this won’t be the be-all, end-all, but it can be a really good step in how we build an interaction.”

Cadieux said she is also looking forward to working with Hogg on developing partnerships with non-profit organizations in the province.

“I’m really excited I’ll be work-ing with Gordie on that, because it follows a lot of the work he has already been doing in social inno-vation and entrepreneurship,” she said. “Non-profits throughout B.C. include a wide range of orga-nizations and a lot of them oper-ate as service providers – they either have contracts with govern-ment or they could have.”

Falcon could not be reached for further comment at press time.

A Surrey man who was run over in his driveway by a car thief has died.

Khammone Phommavong, 60, succumbed to injuries Friday, after he encountered the theft in progress March 6, police said.

He was struck as his vehicle, an Acura MDX, was driven out of the driveway, located in the 5900-block of 168A Street. He suffered “substantial, lower-body-crushing” injuries and was placed in an induced coma.

Officers with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team have now taken the lead in the investigation.

Sgt. Peter Thiessen said that while police believe Phommavong’s death was “directly linked” to his being run down, an autopsy is needed.

Thiessen would not say if a suspect has been identified.

Anyone with information may call the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

As the scope of last week’s catastrophe in Japan continues to unfold, we should pause to reflect upon two things –

the tragic loss of life, and our own level of preparedness for such a natural disaster.

The 8.9-magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami may have occurred thousands of kilometres away, but its disastrous effects have been felt on the Semiahmoo Peninsula.

South Surrey’s Akiko Sugawara, for instance, watched in horror last week as her hometown of Sendai – where she and her two children had visited earlier this month – was nearly destroyed by the tsunami. Though her parents were unharmed in the disaster, they – like millions of others in the hardest-hit areas in Japan’s northeast – will be dealing with the damage for decades to come.

There are serious lessons to be learned from this most recent crisis, especially here on the B.C. coast, where experts have long been warning it’s not a matter of if – but when – a major earthquake will hit this area.

For days following the Japanese disaster, people were searching for water and food. Clearly, thousands of households – including those that escaped damage – were simply not prepared to handle such an emergency with the most basic supplies and plans.

Are we? The answer is, for the majority, no.The ramifications of a major quake will be the

same here as they are in Japan. Stores will be damaged, and those that aren’t will be sold out of essential supplies in hours. Transportation will be severely interrupted. Telephone service and the Internet are likely to be down.

Which begs the questions... do you have a survival kit in your home, with all family members familiar with its contents? Do you have a complete first aid kit, and sufficient knowledge to deal with basic trauma?

Do you know how to turn off the gas in your home? Do you have alternate shelter in case your home is uninhabitable?

Do you have a family plan as to what to do if a quake hits while you’re separated?

Do you at least have enough water to last three days, for your entire family? Do you have enough food on hand to last that long, or longer?

For those of us who have answered no to any of the questions above, the images of devastation in Japan should serve as a wake-up call.

It is time to be prepared.

electricity customer in the province.This is controversial for several reasons.

First, they’re doing it now because former premier Gordon Campbell decreed it must be done by the end of 2012. Second, the smart grid is one of several major BC Hydro projects the government exempted from having to undergo a cost-benefit review by the B.C. Utilities Commission.

And, of course, there is the budgeted cost of $930 million, coming at a time when BC Hydro is projecting rate increases approaching 50 per cent over the next five years.

When I spoke with BC Hydro smart meter project executive Fiona Taylor last week, she naturally had no comment on the politics. Smart meters are inevitable, she said, since mechanical meters are obsolete and eventually won’t be made any more.

Taylor insists the pending rate increases would be even higher without smart meters. BC Hydro estimates the wireless meters will not only pay for themselves, they will produce a net saving of $500 million over the next 20 years.

Even some BC Hydro employees were surprised to hear that, with current technology, the utility has no way of knowing your power is out until you phone them. And when line crews come out to repair a local blackout, how do

they determine if the repair is complete? They drive up and down the road to see if people have lights on. If you use a backup generator, they might miss you.

Smart meters will have “last gasp, first breath” capability, storing enough energy to send a signal that reports the power has gone out, and another signal when it is restored.

As it stands, a repair truck can be dispatched to a reported power failure, only to find that the customer’s main breaker has

tripped.There is another concern, which is that

the brief signals emitted every few hours to send readings to a central hub are somehow a health hazard.

BC Hydro has retained former Vancouver medical health officer Dr. John Blatherwick to respond to this.

He notes that smart meter signals are the equivalent of a three-minute cell phone call once per day, at a much

greater distance. These particular radio frequency s

are similar to those used for digital TSuch signals are also emitted by the plugs of a car, by lightning strikes, infact all visible light and even the infrgenerated with your body heat.

But there are people who insist thehave a greater sensitivity, and there wprobably be some generalized hysterand system-milking as we saw with squabble over a power line through Tsawwassen.

The NDP is nurturing this flame odiscontent as it campaigns against smmeters. It’s popular among the younand no less an authority than Lady Gis the poster girl to warn against wirInternet in schools.

NDP leadership candidate John Hois the party’s ranking power expert. mainly argues that BC Hydro doesnneed to spend all this money on smameters right now. But he is careful nto question the tinfoil hat perspectivand risk alienating the ignorant and superstitious vote. This is a key constituency in parts of B.C.

Blatherwick notes that “if you trulyharmed by this level of radiation, yocan’t live in a major city.”

I’ll say. The computer producing thcolumn is on wireless, one of at leasta dozen signals it can detect in my neighbourhood.

Our modern comfort is fragile, as reminds us. It needs smart equipmeand smart people.

Educational overloadEditor: Re: Speaking up merits praise, March 9 editorial.

Thank you for your editorial in support of the Lord Tweedsmuir and Earl Marriott secondary students who spoke out against the proposed split-timetable issue.

As you said, they handled themselves beautifully and their actions were far more mature than those of many adults faced with the degradation of their work environment.

With regards to those like letter-writer L. Diczki (There must be a better way, March 9) who wish they would be quiet and let their elders figure out what is right for them, how sad that they can’t applaud the students for standing up for themselves in such a proactive way. They must be the ones who shrug in dismay but take no action.

Congratulations to the students for making your voices heard. You’ve done yourselves proud. D. Houghton, Surrey

Extending the school day most likely will only make the students’ academic achievements harder.

Extra curricular activities will diminish. Students that need to hold a part-time job may not be able to do so. Students who pick up younger siblings from elementary school – to cut costs for families paying daycare – will not be able to do this either. Who is going to care for these children when daycare centres get over crowded? And how will lower- and middle-class families pay for after-school care?

When I read in the Peace Arch News March 2 that Surrey is building a new city hall in North Surrey at a cost of $50 million, I shook my head.

Where are the government’s priorities? What about introducing junior high to the Surrey area?A. Fletcher, White Rock

Best defence built on truthEditor:

Public Safety Canada was provided with a mandate enacted on March 23, 2005 by the Government of Canada to ensure Canadians are safe from a range of risks such as natural disasters, crime and terrorism.

The department has stated that there is no more fundamental role for government than the protection of its citizens.

As in the case of a series of domino pieces, it is not logical to discuss new events causally linked with preceding ones as though they were disparate. Whether it be increased airport and border security, changes in foreign policy and the role of CSIS, law enforcement, immigration, the lectures heard within the auditoriums of our universities, the

deployment of military ordnance and men abroad, debates on the procurement of war materials, they are all preceded with the tragic events of 9-11 that claimed thousands of lives, 24 of which were Canadian, and with lasting consequences for others.

It is not unreasonable to reflect on them as a set of issues forming an arborescence and sharing this common root, or significant mutual event that preceded all of them. The influence has been undeniable.

On Feb. 22, I wrote our minister of public safety regarding our government’s official disposition to the events of 9-11 and all derived matters predicated there upon. In the letter (you are invited to read is at www.thevertigo.com/html/9-11) I establish in detail with the aid of substantial evidence that the official account is wrong and what may well be among the greatest and most costly acts of fraud ever perpetrated in attested history. The minister has been tasked with a response specific to five points made.

We are not free if we are not informed.Kip Warner, White Rock

Thankful they were thereEditor:

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the staff at Peace Arch Hospital triage centre, the ambulance crew and Langley Memorial Hospital surgical and orthopedic centres for their excellent treatment when I injured my leg.

Thanks to all these people who made my experience as comfortable as possible and no doubt a successful recovery. Gary Immelman, Surrey

On the afternoon of Tuesday, March 1, this retired couple had the unanticipated need to put our “social safety net” to the test.

In the cold, blustery afternoon, as we made our way home to Ocean Park on Highway 99 after spending a lovely day with friends in Vancouver, the front right tire blew out on our 2002 Passat.

We pulled off the highway to

consider our options as ever-increasing traffic rushed past. When we decided to call a tow truck, we discovered to our chagrin that we had left our cellphone carefully plugged into its charger at home.

Fortunate in our misfortune, we thought we would be able to walk a short distance ‘cross-country’ to the Delta Fire Rescue/Emergency Services Training Station near the Ladner Trunk Road turnoff in the hope of using their telephone.

Through the cold, wind and threatening rain we went to be greeted at the station by battalion Chief Ken Johnson who kindly took us in and assessed our problem. Imagine our surprise when he gained the assistance of Warren Tucker, captain of training division, and they sprang into action. Within 20 minutes, our spare was installed and we were on our way home.

We would like to express our gratitude to these fine gentlemen and to commend them for their professional expertise in helping us out of our unexpected difficulty.Dr. D. Jewison & G. Roberts-Jewison, Surrey

Holding a civic election so soon after the last general one in 2008 is damaging to cities, writes Graham Wood.

Editor: Re: Fathers exits Citizens for Positive Renewal,March 11.

This is why we need four-year terms for civic politicians instead of three: one less lame-duck year.

With less than one year left until the civic election, the mayor and councillors will tend to sit on their hands – or make announcements distancing themselves from others – rather than actually get anything done.

Citizens for Positive Renewal? Catchy, but look around… nothing has really changed in over two years.

The rest of this year will be spent throwing straw in the air to see which way the wind blows. No decisions will be made by anyone in council that may harm their re-election chances, for fear of “offending” someone, much to the detriment of the city which is in dire need of some semblance of leadership.

In a time when they are needed the most, they all tuck tail and hope they still receive a paycheque from White Rock at the end of November. Shame on them all.Graham Wood, White Rock

Eliminate politics for politics’ sakeWith regards to Jean Kromm’s comments that CPR is

not a slate, I point out her organization assembled and endorsed political candidates to run in an election with a view to elect a group who shared the same views and would not vote contrary to positions endorsed by CPR.

The point of a slate is to gain control over the city council, then elevating their priority to retaining political control and power. That’s not deceptive. Slates

are honest about handpicking people, and they’re honest about wanting to retain political power. So let’s be honest; when the majority of White Rock council is made up of CPR-“endorsed” members, you have a slate.

Politics are politics. But the process we build for ourselves in a city like White Rock should not focus on solidarity, party politics and the status quo. Those are hallmarks of the same politics other cities and countries have turned away from. Governance should bring the ideas and colour those political arenas dearly lack. The best way to encourage open governance is to eliminate politics for politics’ sake and let councillors tell us how they really feel; we may be surprised at the results.

When winning elections depends on your presence in a successful slate, it’s less important to articulate policies and issues you consider vital than to show loyalty to the slate in order to ensure you retain your endorsement. Despite Kromm’s assertion CPR as a slate officially ceased to exist after the last election, the mentality of necessary loyalty among its councillors doesn’t go away.

There are many reasons to run for a position in civic government; first and foremost it should be a desire to promote policies you believe are good for the citizens you seek to represent. Sometimes, what works best for us means going against your fellow councillors or established wisdom – but that’s not necessarily unhealthy. Dissent and stability are not mutually exclusive.

Bravo to Coun. Helen Fathers for declaring her voice as an independent thinker. White Rock desperately needs councillors who represent the people’s voice.Steven Hughes, White Rock

Welcome to a year of indecision


Sheila ReynoldsBlack Press

Carrying placards and chanting “eight new schools” and “fund our children,” about 150 Surrey students, parents, teachers, politicians and residents gathered in Holland Park on Sunday to demand more schools for the rapidly growing school district.

“Surrey needs its needs met. It needs new schools and it needs them today,” said Denise Moffatt, president of the Surrey Teachers’ Association addressing the crowd. “This must happen now – not tomorrow, not next week, not in a month, not in a year...”

Moffatt noted that schools are more than simply classrooms, but are places where communities are built, where people make connections and where residents can get involved.

“These are important community hubs,” she said.

The rally was sparked by recent walkouts by students at Lord Tweedsmuir and Earl Marriott Secondary schools, which are considering extending the timetable in the fall in an effort to relieve overcrowded conditions and accommodate more students.

The Surrey School District has not received provincial funding for new schools since 2005, leaving many elementary and secondary facilities over capacity and using multiple portables. This fall, the district is expecting another 1,000 students.

The afternoon protest was co-ordinated by SFU student Paul Hillsdon, 21, who also organized an anti-gang rally two years ago. He’s been watching the capital funding problems in Surrey and decided public pressure needed to be applied to government.

“There is nothing as elementary to our infrastructure as schools,” Hillsdon told Sunday’s crowd. “There is no way that we can build the economy of tomorrow, that we can improve the quality of life in this city or that we can improve the well-being of

our citizens without a proper, quality education system.”

Bob Holmes, co-president of the District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC), said with the population growth in Surrey, some elementary schools are expected to have more students in portables than in the school itself.

“This rally is about everyone ... saying enough is enough,” said Holmes. “This has to end now.”

Students from Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary also proposed the creation of youth councils in each school district to “encourage our youth to be involved in decision

making that directly affect us.”

Printed postcards were available at the rally that attendees signed and sent to the provincial government and the DPAC is also organizing an emailing campaign to highlight the desperate need for capital funding in Surrey.

White Rock has joined the list of municipalities lending their support to Metro Vancouver’s Regional Growth Strategy.

Council voted unanimously last week to endorse the plan, following assurances from the city’s director of planning and development services that con-cerns expressed last fall had largely been addressed. Surrey had endorsed the accord the pre-vious week.

The Regional Growth Strategy is intended to help guide the region’s development – “from local and regional land use plans to infra-structure and transportation ser-vices” – through 2040, as Metro adds another 1.2 million residents. Several drafts have been produced over the past four years.

A key concern for White Rock had been language in the Sep-tember 2010 draft that desig-nated the Grandview Corners area of South Surrey as a “local centre,” and the lack of language to ensure such centres do not adversely impact “town centres” by drawing retail and office uses away – as White Rock has already been seeing.

The issue “did catch the atten-tion of Metro,” Paul Stanton said, and the strategy has been revised to read “Local Centres are not intended to compete with or compromise the role of Urban Centres…”

While the change may be a little late, “in the sense the Tro-jan Horse is already inside the gate,” it may assist in ensuring the Grandview Corners area

does not continue to grow at the expense of the Semiahmoo Town Centre, Stanton said.

Other concerns raised by city staff were in regards to popula-tion and housing projections that White Rock “could not possibly achieve”; and a lack of clarity as to roles and responsibilities for co-ordinating and implement-ing development of the Regional Recreation Greenway Network.

Stanton said Metro assured the population and housing pro-jections were guidelines only and not binding. Regarding the greenway network, detailed roles and responsibilities have yet to be determined, he said.

A letter to the city from the Urban Development Institute urged council to consider the strategy’s impact for future coun-cils, in part because it establishes “a mechanism under which a range of decisions could only be made with a discretionary sign-off by Metro Vancouver.”

Noting the statement refers to such things as changing land-use designation, Stanton said staff view it as “a necessary require-ment to provide certainty to the plan and ensure the goals for reducing urban sprawl at a regional level can be obtained.”

“Many of the economic issues facing White Rock today can be attributed to growth and expan-sion in neighbouring South Sur-rey” Stanton writes in his report. “This only serves to accentuate the need for regional planning, to minimize land use decisions which can adversely affect existing areas in a competitive environment.”

The 60-day ratification period ends March 22, after which final adoption of the strategy will be recommended, Hoff said. The final vote by the Metro board is set for April 29.

Police are looking to speak with a dark-haired man wearing black, wire-framed sunglasses, in connec-tion with a report of a suspicious man offering a ride to a teenager.

White Rock RCMP Sgt. Roland Pier-schke said police were called around 3 p.m. March 7, after a 17-year-old girl was approached by a man in a shiny brown car in the 14800-block of North Bluff Road as she walked home from school.

The man offered the girl a ride home and asked her about her ethnic background, Pierschke said. She kept walking and the man took off after traffic started backing up behind him, he said.

According to the police report, the man told the girl he was Iranian.

She described him as 40 to 50 years old, and clean-shaven with dark facial hair and short black hair, Pierschke said.

He was wearing a light-blue, long-sleeved, collared shirt and a silver watch on his left wrist, and was driv-ing a shiny, light-brown, four-door hatchback with a light-brown leather interior.

The man made no attempt to grab the girl, Pierschke said, and there have been no similar reports since.

Still, police want to speak with the driver, Pierschke said.

“We’re still investigating. We’d like to, of course, interview this guy.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 778-593-3600.

Alex BrowneStaff Reporter

The problem with the issue of homelessness in White Rock and South Surrey is that – aside from a few high-profile street people – it doesn’t appear to be that big of a problem.

But Jean Macdonald of the Peninsula Homeless to Housing Round Table said that impression can be deceptive.

And she and other members of the group are convinced from anecdotal evidence that the general public is only seeing the proverbial tip of the iceberg locally.

That’s why the fourth regional homeless count today (Wednesday) – in which the Round

Table is participating with Sources (which is co-ordinating some 20 volunteers) and Options Society Outreach (which provides overall management) – is so important.

“We’re hoping it will paint a clear picture of the numbers, because that’s what we can use to advocate for services,” Macdonald said.

The Round Table is a coalition of social agencies and several of the faith communities who work day to day addressing homelessness issues, she said.

“We work on educating ourselves and other people, on advocacy and taking a leadership position.”

Macdonald said that people on the Peninsula need to realize there really are

homeless people sleeping in the open, or in cars, or camping in alleyways or the bush.

“Many of them are local people,” she said. “They grew up in White Rock and South Surrey – this is their home. Many think this is an overflow from the city but that hasn’t been the case.”

The Round Table knows there are at least half a dozen high-profile homeless people on the Peninsula – that’s how many come to the severe weather shelter set up by First

United Church.The basic definition of homeless is those

not paying rent or board somewhere, Macdonald said.

“But the larger problem is those at risk of homelessness – there are many people just one catastrophic event or one paycheque away from losing their home,” she added.

This is a situation that affects many single women and single older women in the area, she said.

“They are at risk not only of losing their housing but also of being in housing that is not safe or appropriate.”

The phenomenon of people – particularly the young – “couch-surfing” with friends or relatives is also largely invisible, Macdonald said.

The last count, conducted in 2008, was frustrating on a number of scores, Macdonald said – not the least of which was that Peninsula statistics were lumped in with Tsawwassen statistics by regional co-ordinators.

But Macdonald said local organizers are hopeful the midnight-to-midnight count will eventually present a clearer picture.

Volunteers have been given qualified leads from social agencies in locating homeless people, and for the first time the regional count is extended to include hospitals, jail cells, detention centres and addiction treatment centres.

They are also armed with questionnaires that ask what circumstances have contributed to participants’ homelessness and what services they could benefit from, she said.

“We’re expecting preliminary results in late April and all details by July.”

A White Rock orthodontic clinic is rallying the community to cast votes to help improve the smiles of children with facial deformi-ties.

“Having them fixed up… for them, would be like the icing on the cake,” said Dr. Dorothy Sonya of White Rock Orthodontic Cen-tre, in explaining the difference a $100,000 Pepsi Refresh Project grant could make. “We hope to be able to help a lot of kids with this.”

Sonya is among a team of experts who volunteer at BC Children’s Hospital’s cleft palate and cranio-facial program, which treats chil-dren with defects including open-

ings in the lip, the roof of the mouth and the bones of the upper jaw. Each year, more than 400 Canadian children are born with such cleft or cranio-facial defects.

Much of the corrective work performed at the BCCH clinic is not government-funded, leav-ing many children whose families

can’t afford it to go through life with missing or deformed teeth.

Since the Pepsi Refresh program launched, 29 projects have received grants ranging from $5,000 to $100,000, based on online voting.As of Monday, Spring for Kids Foundation – which supports the BC Children’s Hospital program – had the third-highest number of votes in the $100,000-grant category, behind Langley Animal Protection Society and L’aréna des Iles.

If Spring wins, the money would fund 10 dental-implant surgeries, provide 15 children with dental restoration and create education materials.

Twins celebrate 80th birthdayHannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

While hitting 80 is a significant milestone in itself, Bob Peterson had double the reason to celebrate last month – he marked the birthday with his twin sister, Glady.

The siblings celebrated at an Ocean Park restaurant with their spouses Feb. 28.

“We got together and just talked and reminisced,” Bob, a North Vancouver resident, said.

“It was very pleasant.”Despite sharing

the same roots, Bob said the two are very different people.

Bob is six feet and Glady, who lives in South Surrey, is five-foot-two.

And they chose different paths to tread, following a childhood in rural Winnipeg during the Depression.

“Although we’re twins, we have a very different situation in life now, but as children we were inseparable,” he said.

“She was always sticking me with trouble as kids, she was always doing little dirty tricks and blaming me.”

While Glady graduated high school, Bob – a skillful drawer – dropped out after Grade 10 to take up a job with Eatons’ advertising department.

He continued in the field, going on to work in Vancouver and Saskatchewan, before returning to Winnipeg, where he met and married his first wife in 1957.

His daughter was born three years later.

Glady married at a younger age – she was 18 when she exchanged vows with her first husband – and had three children, two of whom she adopted.

The twins both moved to B.C. in the early ’60s, and became close again following a period of time when they saw each other just once a year.

“We had a lot of connections in… those years where her children and

my daughter, we all connected and did a lot of things together.”

Bob followed a career in advertising and publishing before retiring in 1994, and now lives with his wife, Jan, who he has been married to for 33 years.

Glady settled in

White Rock, and has remained on the Peninsula ever since.

She was well known around the Surrey school board, where she worked as a receptionist before taking retirement.

Bob said Glady and her husband, Bruce, are a “dancing couple” who enjoy travelling on cruises and attending local dances.

“They’re dancing their way around ships, and dancing their way around White Rock and Surrey two or three times a week.”

The twins – who

drifted apart in the midst of raising children and working – regularly keep in touch.

“We’ve now regained a connection via computer.”

Bob said his sister “was always very generous to me, very supportive,” and he plans to celebrate with her again during an August family get-together, three months before Jan joins the ranks as an octogenarian.

“We will all have an enormous, big 80th birthday for all the family.”

local fl avours

Looking back on 30 yearsFrom the demise of the typewriter and

linotype machine to the cessation of smoking in the office, Leslie Hilts has

witnessed many changes in the newsroom in the past 30 years.

It was 1981 when the single mother of two young boys and recent breast-cancer survivor applied for a job at Peace Arch News’ production-department annex at 24 Avenue and King George Highway.

Hilts admits she had little background in newspapers, but what the White Rock woman lacked in experience she made up for in determination.

“I had been trying to get employment but had a real lack of skills, so when the opportunity came up to really apply myself I gave it my all,” said Hilts who was first hired at the age of 31 as a layout artist by PAN’s founding publisher/owner Roy Jelly, before advancing in just two short weeks to become one of Black Press’ last printing apprentices, and completing the four-year apprenticeship in just three years.

“It was very labour intensive – nothing was done on computers like it is today,” said Hilts matter-of-factly. “It was a very physical job.”

When the Mac computers were first introduced to the design department around 15 years ago, Hilts recalls it as a major turning point in the industry.

“Learning the new technologies was really challenging – it was like science fiction to us. We got told this would be the way everything would be done in the future and I thought ‘sure, we’ll believe that when we see it.’”

Computer design is now second nature to Hilts, who spends the majority of her day creating ads with the click of a mouse and an artful eye.

“We’re creating better stuff than we possibly could have created back then – it’s just way more advanced.”

Nowadays, the 61-year-old proud nanna of three doesn’t take the latter for granted. Having been diagnosed with breast cancer last April, followed by undergoing a double mastectomy two months later, her view on life has changed significantly.

“I know it’s cliche, but now I don’t ever take anything for granted. I got off easy, but really I know I could have died if the cancer had gone undetected. Early detection is everything.”

In this week’s edition of Local Flavours, Hilts shares her recipe for Lemony Banana Bread, a dessert she often shares with her grateful PAN co-workers.

Lemony Banana BreadIngredients: 1/3 cup butter2/3 cup sugargrated zest of 2-3 large lemons1 eggpulp of 3-4 ripe bananas (leave a little texture)1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 2 1/4 tsp. baking powder1/2 tsp. salt4 - 5 fresh large pitted dates (I prefer whole Medjool and flour the bits if too sticky).pecan halves

Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together butter,

sugar and lemon zest in large bowl. Combine in egg, banana pulp. Sift in flour, baking powder and salt. Add chopped dates to mixture and stir well for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour into buttered/floured bread pan and top with pecan halves. Bake for 40 - 50 minutes until browned on outside, golden on top.

- Staff WriterGroup gets boost

The local Breast Cancer Peer Support Group plans to raise

its profile with the first donation it has ever received – a $2,000 cheque delivered by the Kiwanis Club of White Rock earlier this month.

“We’re going to use it for printing posters to make awareness of our group, so those who are battling cancer or looking for support can find out where we are,” facilitator Twyla Hollett said.

The group meets twice a month at Crescent Gardens Retirement Community (1222 King George Blvd.), and has been running at least 18 years, Hollett noted.

“This is the first donation we’ve ever got – we usually raise our own money,” the South Surrey resident said,

noting the contribution will also help purchase gifts for patients in hospital.

The group has between 30 and 50 members who range in age and are in various stages of breast cancer.

“For the women to just be able to come in there and say what they want and how they feel is such a comfort for them,” Hollett said. “We do more laughing than we do anything.”

For more information about the group, call Reissa Spier at 778-294-1436.

INSURANCE INSTITUTE FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY


news

Kristine Ramsbottom was nine when she set about convincing her parents to get a dog.

It took about a year of persis-tent negotiation and it ended in victory after the South Sur-rey student clinched her case by pointing out a puppy would help her overcome her fear of animals.

Shelby, the Shelty cross, arrived soon after. And the young Kristine did indeed overcome her nervousness around dogs.

Now 18, Ramsbottom’s talent for persuasion has won the Langley resident a spot on the Canadian team at the 2011 World Public Speaking competition in Brisbane, Aus-tralia next month (April 2-8)

It will be the second trip to the international event for Rams-bottom, a senior at Southridge School in South Surrey.

She placed fifth in her category at the 2010 competition held in Lithuania.

Each year, competitors are expected to develop all-new material that is fresh, meaning a topic or issue that hasn’t been raised before.

It takes about a year to develop, write and refine new material, Ramsbottom estimates.

Presentations run around 10 minutes, and must be memo-rized. Since she was 17, Rams-bottom has maintained a sub-scription to the prestigious Economist newsmagazine to stay

informed about poten-tial topics.

The first time she ever gave a speech about an issue, Ramsbottom was in kindergarten, and her topic was why Pandas were her favorite animal (they reminded her of Winnie-the-Pooh).

She was comfortable making her case before an audience, and a desire to get better at it led her

to the debate club at Southridge, and from there to competitive public speaking.

This year, she is talking about the use of child slaves to harvest cocoa beans in the West Afri-can republic of the Ivory Coast, beans that are used to make the chocolate people consume in richer countries.

She likes to get people to think about their consumer choices, she says, not by shouting and pounding a table, but through reasoned, logical argument.

She is the youngest of two, and she and her mother Manny credit father Neil, a businessman with strong negotiating skills,

for Kristine’s ability to make a case.

“My dad is huge on discus-sion,” Ramsbottom says.

She plans to go to university to become a lawyer.

Ramsbottom was one of 172 competitors from across B.C. who competed at the Law Foundation Cup, the provincial speech and debate champion-ship hosted by Walnut Grove Secondary school on March 4 and 5. She finished fourth over-all.

It was the first time the Langley school has hosted the provincial competition

“It was a huge endeavuor” said teacher Tim Bonnar, one of the tournament organizers.

There were as many as 43 debates going on simultaneously on Saturday.

Four members of the Wal-nut Grove debate and speech club that Bonnar coaches were among them.

Walnut Grove Grade 10 stu-dent Craig Andrews placed ninth among 60 competitors, while Andrews and debate part-ner Uyseok Lee placed 11th in team competitions.

Andrews has been invited to attend a qualifying tourna-ment for a place on the national debate team.

Surrey students collected plenty of precious medals at this year’s regional skills competition.

More than half of the 180 stu-dents participating in the annual Lower Fraser Valley Skills Can-ada Regional Competition at Kwantlen Polytechnic University this month were from Surrey schools.

Competing in 14 categories, local teens walks away with 26 medals.

“We are extremely proud of all our student participants,” Susan Chow, the district’s career educa-tion principal, said in a release. “It was a wonderful learning experience for them to showcase their skills and be acknowledged for their achievements.”

Surrey students earned six gold, seven silver and nine bronze medals in 12 categories.

The results from the Virtual TV/Video Production and Vir-tual Website Development cat-egories will be announced later this month.

All gold medalists will advance to the provincial Skills Canada Competition in April, and win-ners from that event will compete in the national competition this June in Quebec. National win-ners advance to the WorldSkills international event in London in October.

The goal of the regional event is to increase student awareness of – and interest in – the trades and technology fields as career paths.

Metro Vancouver politicians are urging the province to intervene to slow the spread of huge mansions that are chewing up urban farmland needed to grow food.

Victoria is weighing how best to tackle the issue and released a discussion paper that lays out a menu of possible options.

At issue is the construction of huge estate homes – often on land in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) – that make farming less efficient and put the property’s price out of reach for ordinary farmers.

Reforms have been proposed in the past by individual municipalities but were beaten back by opposing groups of landowners and realtors.

Both Pitt Meadows and Surrey shelved attempts to tighten regulation of farm manor homes in recent years after opposition.

Metro agriculture committee chair Harold Steves said he and others on the committee want the province to enact minimum standards that would be enforced to restrict the size and location of homes built in the ALR.

“They’re building 10,000- to 20,000-square-foot houses with swimming pools and tennis courts scattered throughout the agricultural area of the land,” Steves said.

“It’s impossible to have crops and farm equipment when you have to work around a number of buildings. It

destroys the productive use of that land.”

A provincially mandated minimum standard could allow cities to go further and add stronger protections if they wish, he added.

If only some cities tighten the rules, it’s feared the problem will simply be shifted around the region or pushed east into the Fraser Valley Regional District.

In Richmond alone, Steves estimates, another 2,000 acres of farmland in the ALR stands to be lost to the construction of big houses and recreational amenities unless the trend is stopped.

So far, Delta has taken the toughest stand against the problem of badly sited farmland mansions, he said.

Delta limits house sizes and defines a farm “homeplate” on agricultural properties where houses and other residential uses must be contained. They can’t sprawl deeper than 60 metres from the front property line, unless there’s on-site migrant worker housing, in

which case the limit is 100 metres.

Richmond doesn’t limit the size of houses but requires they be within 50 metres of the road or property line.

That’s been problematic, Steves said, because outbuildings and other uses aren’t covered, so secondary houses, garages, pools and the like sometimes cut much deeper into the property.

Sometimes garages and barns have second floors built with rented secondary suites.

Richmond had aimed to extend the 50-metre maximum setback to include accessory buildings but ran into community

resistance.“There’s a tremendous

amount of opposition,” Steves said. “There’s a huge lobby, mainly from realtors.”

When Richmond’s original bylaw was drafted, Steves said, it never occurred to anyone that farmers would be building swimming pools and tennis courts on their land.

The problem is that in

most cases the owners aren’t serious farmers, but buyers who want an estate lifestyle in the Lower Mainland without having to pay the price to do so on urban residential land.

Farmland is cheaper than large residential-zoned lots and may offer the potential of a future windfall if the land can someday be pulled out of the ALR and subdivided.

Owners who are able to grow something may even qualify for the lower farm property tax rate, even if they grow just a tiny fraction of the land’s potential.

That long-standing loophole should also be closed, said Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner, the vice-chair of the agriculture committee.

“It’s no different than those who sit on acreages with a horse or a cow and say they’re gentlemen farmers and get a tax break,” she said. “It was never intended to be for estate homes.”

Hepner also backs tough minimal protections set by the province. But she noted there are some special circumstances to be considered.

In Surrey, she said, some of the large houses on farmland are simply occupied by large families and the land is being actively farmed.

Much farmland is on floodplain where basements can’t be built, she said, so allowed house sizes should take that into account.

Metro also suggests exceptions be allowed if it makes more sense to put a house on part of the property that isn’t

farmable – perhaps it’s rocky.

The focus should be on the placement of the house, Hepner added.

“A huge long driveway on a small parcel

makes the whole parcel unfarmable,” Hepner said. “So we have to take a serious look at (maximum) setbacks.”

Some Metro directors want the province to

charge the Agricultural Land Commission with making the decisions, rather than cities.

Metro’s board is expected to finalize its position in April.

Evening water sprinkling may be a thing of the past as Metro Vancouver mulls tighter restrictions to preserve its water supply on hot summer days.

Metro is contemplating amendments to its Water Shortage Response Plan that would limit residential lawn sprinkling to just 4 to 9 a.m. in the mornings on three days a week – an increase of one from the current two-day limit during the summer sprinkling restriction period.

Currently, lawn sprinkling from June 1 to Sept. 30 is allowed from 4 to 9 a.m. and 7 to 10 p.m. on two permitted days a week. Even-numbered addresses get Wednesdays and Saturdays, while odd addresses can sprinkle Thursdays and Sundays.

Under the proposed change, residents would also get to sprinkle on either Saturday or Sunday mornings, giving them an overall

15-hour window each week to green up their lawns.

Metro policy and planning department senior engineer Stan Woods estimates the new measures would cut the water use rate at peak hours by 12 per cent and by three per cent on peak days.

Demand is lower in mornings than evenings and Woods said the change would spread lawn-sprinkling demand out more evenly over the week.

Watering of gardens, trees, playing fields and golf courses wouldn’t be affected by the sprinkling rule change.

The changes still must be approved by the Metro Vancouver board. And some directors are calling for a one-year delay before bringing in the new schedule.

“It’s too late in the process,” Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt said, adding most municipalities have already sent out their calendars and rules for sprinkling for the year. “Let’s let this be an education year.”

Metro considers water restrictions


Metro Vancouver is declaring victory in its campaign to get more people to shun wasteful bottled water and drink tap water instead.

A new survey has found roughly half as many people using bottled water as did in 2008, when the region set a goal of cutting bottled water use here by 20 per cent by 2010.

The Mustel Group telephone sur-vey found 11 per cent of respon-dents say they primarily use bot-tled water, compared to 21 per cent in 2008, while 85 per cent say they mainly use tap water, up from 74 per cent previously.

“We actually got a 50 per cent

reduction so it was well beyond what we expected,” said Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt, who sits on Metro’s water committee.

The campaign, which used the slogan “Nature’s health drink – always on tap,” raised the hackles of bottled water sellers. But Metro politicians like Hunt maintain the campaign was worthwhile because of unacceptable numbers of plastic bottles in the landfill.

One report estimated more than 23 million plastic bottles a year were instead ending up in Metro Vancouver landfills – and that even the ones being recycled still carried a heavy carbon footprint.

“The issue was reduction of waste and reduction of the creation of

the plastics in the first place so those resources can be used for something much more beneficial,”

Hunt said.Metro officials were also irked

by the trend toward bottled-water use when they had just spent $800 million on a major upgrade of the water system.

The region has always maintained its water supply is among the clean-est and safest on the planet.

But completion of the new Sey-mour-Capilano Filtration Plant – at the recommendation of health officers – means water from the North Shore reservoirs that occa-sionally looked murky is now being filtered, removing an occa-sional aesthetic objection.

Hunt noted it also means less chlo-rine is added to disinfect the water, which was another objection some

had about the taste of tap water.Ninety per cent of those surveyed

now agree the tap water quality is excellent or very good – up from 82 per cent before, according to the Metro-commissioned survey.

Bottle users cite convenience, taste, health and safety for their choice.

Despite Metro’s survey results, Nestle Waters Canada claimed a five per cent increase in bottled-water sales last year, although it had no data specific to Metro Van-couver.

The Canadian Council of Grocery Distributors claims a 10 per cent increase in national bottled water sales, again with no regional break-down.

Spring Bridal ShowcaseFebruary 28, 2011



A negotiating delay means students at Douglas College and Kwantlen Polytechnic University will have to wait until September to join the reduced-rate transit U-Pass system.

Students at both institutions recently voted to join the program and were promised they’d have their new transit passes for this spring semester.

The provincially mandated U-Pass gives unlimited transit service for $30 a month to students at campuses that sign on, although Kwantlen students will pay $40 and receive various additional benefits arranged by their student association.

But Kwantlen’s spring registration starts March 14 and Douglas students register March 21. And the master agreement governing the passes won’t be ready by either of those dates, according to Blaine Jensen, vice-president of education services at Dougas.

A final deal with TransLink would have to be vetted by lawyers and the administrators need several days to ensure systems are in place to charge students for their U-Pass when they pay other student fees.

Jensen cited delays in finalizing the terms of the contract but would not elaborate on the reason.

“TransLink and the province are well aware of our concerns and we’re waiting to hear how they will respond.”

Vancouver Community College and Emily Carr University of Art and Design had previously signed an interim agreement with TransLink to ensure they’d be part of the U-Pass system for this spring.

TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie said the same arrangement was offered to Douglas, which has campuses in New Westminster and Coquitlam, and Kwantlen, which serves Surrey, Langley and Richmond.

“That was available,” Hardie said. “It was good enough for VCC

and Emily Carr. It should have been good enough for Douglas and Kwantlen.”

But Jensen, who heads the coalition of post-secondary schools negotiating with TransLink, said the group had legal advice that warned of potential problems with the interim deal.

Both sides say the final agreement was close to being ironed out. But a new hitch

recently developed that caused a further delay.

Hardie said it was noted that students might have to pay the 12 per cent Harmonized Sales Tax on the U-Pass – even though other fare types aren’t subject to HST – because their schools weren’t agents of TransLink.

He said TransLink has agreed to make school administrators TransLink fare dealers

for purposes of selling the U-Pass to address the problem.

Lawyers are still considering that proposal, he said, but added in the meantime, TransLink has offered to accept any risk that the HST is charged on the passes.

Kwantlen Student Association spokesman Matt Todd said the HST issue made students even more wary.

“TransLink has been dragging its feet in contract negotiations. We were originally promised we would have these passes in hand in September of 2010,” Todd said.

The issue so far doesn’t affect students at UBC, SFU, Langara College and Capilano University – all of which have existing U-Passes that expire at the end of August, to be replaced by the new provincial U-Pass.

White Rock residents will see their property taxes jump 3.91 per cent this year, following adoption of the city’s 2011-2015 financial plan.

Council voted unanimously in support of the plan last week. The increase was proposed to generate funds for the city’s $25.8-million general 2011 operating budget.

The city’s financial services director explained in earlier meetings that the increase amounts to an extra $97 on the average homeowner’s next tax bill; for strata owners – who comprise approximately half of the city’s residents – the jump will average $42.

The boost does not factor in increases to

drainage (amounting to about $25, from $252 to $277, for single detached homes and $7, from $69 to $76, for stratas) and sanitary sewer fees (two per cent, amounting to a $5 jump for both residential and commercial users). Those fees are described as the second-largest portion of the 2011 budgeted revenue after property taxes. Factors cited as contributing to the tax increase include a jump in labour costs and levies, and funds needed to operate the new Centre for Active Living.

Council gave third reading to the bylaw Feb. 21, following a relatively uneventful public meeting the week before.

Several top Canadian and U.S. government officials will speak and answer questions about improv-ing cross-border trade between the two countries at the Building Bridges to Prosperity symposium in Surrey on April 27.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and U.S. Ambassador to Canada David Jacobson will be among the officials speaking at the Sheraton Vancouver Guilford Hotel for the event.

Canadian and American busi-nesses – and any other interested members of the public – can learn

about trade and border policies from some of the policy-makers themselves. Attendees will also be able to ask ques-tions of the speakers, and participate in a visit to the Canadian Border Services Agency and U.S. Customs and Border Protection at the Pacific Highway Bor-der Crossing.

“The objective of the symposium is to make it easier for companies to do business across the border,” said Greg Timm, general manager of Pacific Cus-toms Brokers, the group hosting

the event. “We want to take away the theory

that it’s too difficult, and open up those cross-bor-der markets.”

Timm expects between 200-250 people to attend, including some business representatives from the U.S. He says this is a par-ticularly important time for Canadian business owners to understand bor-der and trade policies.

“Being Canadians, we have advantages right now.

The strong Canadian dollar makes it cheaper for people to purchase

materials in the U.S., and it’s the largest economy in the world so we want more Canadians to be able to take advantage of that market,” Timm said.

Topics that will be discussed at the event include pre-approval programs for commercial vehicles crossing the border, and a recently proposed security perimeter deal between Canada and the U.S.

A limited amount of spots are available for the border visit por-tion of the day, and anyone who wishes to attend it must register by March 23. The visit will consist of 45 minutes each with border customs officials from the U.S. and

Canada.“Lots of businesses ship domesti-

cally, and then if they ship from Washington to B.C., in some cases they expect the preparation of paperwork to be same as it is for domestic shipping,” Timm said.

“This visit is to give perspective on the fact that even though we have so many similarities, Canada and the U.S. are foreign countries to one another with different poli-cies.”

The registration deadline for the rest of the symposium is April 15, and the registration form can be downloaded off Pacific Custom Brokers’ website, www.pcb.ca.

Ensemble GalileiA stellar group of U.S. musicians will

make their only Canadian appearance during a west coast tour 8 p.m., Friday, April 1, at First United Church, White Rock.

Ensemble Galilei brings together musicians from different worlds in an ongoing adventure that utilizes their renowned expertise and technique to create new dimensions of music.

The ensemble features Ryan McKasson on Scottish fiddle, Jackie Moran on bodhran and tenor banjo, and Sue Richards on celtic harp, all versed in Scottish and Irish traditions, plus violinist Ginger Hildebrand and viola da gamba player Carolyn Surrick – both with decades of experience in Renaissance and Baroque music. The result is quite different from groups in either of the traditions, said Geoff Giffin, who is using the concert to launch his new production company, Peninsula Productions, which aims to bring different, high-quality concerts to the White Rock and South Surrey scene.

“I first heard Ensemble Galilei play a few years ago when I was living in Maryland and promptly fell in love,” Giffin said.

“When I found out they were doing a west coast tour I knew they would be perfect for Peninsula Productions’ first concert.”

Ladies of the CamelliasWhat happens when the two pre-eminant

divas of the stage in the 1890s – Sarah Berhardt and Eleanor Duse – are both to perform Lady of the Camellias, by Alexandre Dumas, in Paris, the same week and in the same theatre?

That’s the premise of Lillian Garrett-Groag’s farcical historical comedy Ladies of the Camellias, next presentation of the White Rock Players Club, in a production directed by Paul Kloegman (who helmed last season’s Humble Boy).

The club’s entry in this year’s TheatreBC Vancouver Zone festival, it will play April 6 to 23 at the Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. with Wednesday to Saturday performances at 8 p.m., plus a 2:30 p.m. Sunday matinee on April 17.

The production brings together members of the Kloegman stock company – previously seen to advantage in 20th Century in White Rock and Up And Coming at Vancouver’s Metro Theatre –

including Lori Tych (as Duse) and Jason Dedrick (as actor Gustave-Hyppolite Worms), both of whom most recently starred in the thriller Earth and Sky in February at the Coast Capital Playhouse.

Nancy Ebert plays Bernhardt, who has – for reasons best known to herself – extended the invitation to Duse to perform her touring

version of the Lady of the Camellias, temporarily without venue, at the divine Sarah’s own theatre, even though she is herself portraying the role there.

Like Worms, actor Flavio Ando (Ryan Johnston) is also caught up in the ensuing battle of the divas, which is complicated – but not interrupted – by the arrival of a Russian anarchist, Ivan (Stephen Benjamin Fowler).

The latter decides to take the two hostage and blow up the theatre if demands for freeing his imprisoned comrades are not met.

Adding to the quickly spiralling chaos is sword-swinging Comedie Francaise actor Coquelin (Brent Cross), who has become obsessed with his role as the heroic Cyrano de Bergerac; an elderly man Benoit (Ken Fynn) and an ingenue (Alexandra Wilson).

Argentine tangoIt first appeared in the dance halls and

brothels of Buenos Aires around 1880 – and it wasn’t even considered socially acceptable in Argentina until after it became a craze in Europe just before the First World War.

But authentic Argentine tango – a distinctly different dance from the ballroom tango – has lost none of its passionate mystery and beauty.

It’s also hotter than ever – thanks to exposure on such top-rated television shows as Dancing With The Stars.

Now Portal a Tango Dance Entertainment offers White Rock residents the chance to learn to dance Argentine tango with an ongoing series of beginner and intermediate lessons at Ocean Park Hall, 1577 128 St.

Owned and operated by husband and wife team Bobbi and Patricia Lusic, Portal a Tango “works to promote Argentine tango as a healthy means for individual expression, improving quality of life and experiencing joy through music and dance.”

Bayside stays in premierNick GreenizanSports Reporter

They didn’t play their best rugby – offensively speaking, at least – until halfway through the second half, but the Bayside Sharks’ premier men’s team played well enough to edge Burnaby 15-5 Saturday.

The win catapulted the Sharks into the premier division for the final month of the season; a loss would’ve dropped them to the first division.

“It moved us along, so we really needed that one,” said a relieved David Benoit, head coach of the Sharks. “We played good defence – we held ‘em to five points – but really, it wasn’t until there was about 20 minutes left in game that we really ignited and got fired up, but it was enough this time.”

With their premier hopes on the line, the Sharks opened the game – played in sloppy, rainy conditions – out of sync on offence, and failed to put much pressure on Burnaby in the opening minutes.

Burnaby got on the board first, when they scored a try by moving the ball out wide, and though Bayside reversed the momentum after that, they had nothing to show for it, and trailed 5-0 at halftime.

“We started to really dominate after that try, but just couldn’t do anything with (the momentum),” Benoit said. “We’d do something good, then we’d do something bad.”

After the break, the Sharks got tries from Cass Conklin and Isimeli Sigarua, and Peter Clifford rounded out the scoring with a convert and a drop kick.

The Sharks prep for the season’s final month, which is to begin Saturday, although on Monday Benoit still did not have a schedule.

He does know, however, that his Sharks will face the four squads they haven’t yet played – James Bay, University of Victoria, Abbotsford and the UBC Old Boys Ravens.

The top six teams in the eight-team premier league advance to playoffs.

“It’s a short season, and now it’s just a sprint to the finish,” Benoit said.

The Surrey Eagles are flying into the third round.

Monday night at the Langley Events Centre, the Birds clawed back from an early 2-0 deficit to beat the Langley Chiefs 4-2, win-ning the hard-fought best-of-seven series in six games.

They’ll face either the Victoria Grizzlies or Powell River Kings in BC Hockey League Conference finals.

“We never expected to win this series in four games. Sure, you always hope you will, but against a really good team like Langley, we knew it’d be a tough battle,” said Eagles head coach Matt Erhart.

Trailing 2-0 in the first period, Eagles defenceman Josh Monk scored on the power-play – rifling a shot past Langley goalie Wyatt Galley – and with less than three minutes left in the period, Surrey captain Tyler Morley scored his

first of two goals to tie the game.In the second, Morley struck

again to put his team ahead and Robert Lindores added an insur-ance marker on a breakaway later in the middle period.

Hayden Trupp assisted on both of Morley’s goals.

Monday’s tilt was the last in a four-games-in-five-days stretch, with the Eagles winning Games

3 and 4 in Langley – the latter win coming when Jeff Vanderlugt scored in double overtime. Down 3-1 in the series heading into Game 5 Sunday, Langley’s Matt Ius pulled his team back from the brink of elimination with a five-point effort in a 7-5 win in South Surrey.

Ius had two goals and three assists in the Chiefs’ victory.

“Both teams just happened to bury their chances. It wasn’t the prettiest game – neither team was sharp defensively – but you’re going to get that in a long series,” said Erhart.

In Game 5 Sunday, the Chiefs were the better team out of the gate. Kit Sitterley and Ius scored less than a minute apart to give Langley a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes, and Sitterley tacked on another early in the second.

Brandon Morley replied for the Eagles, and after goals from Dan-iel Gentzler and rookie blue-liner Tim Coish, the Eagles trailed just 5-3 heading into the third.

However, a Langley goal – from captain Trevor Gerling – just 35 seconds into the third restored the Chiefs’ three-goal lead, and also chased Eagles’ goalie Karel St. Laurent from the game.

Rob Newell photoElgin Park’s Sandy Hsu drives to the basket against Handsworth.

Senior girls team ‘should be very proud of themselves’ says coach

Orcas ninth at provincialsNick GreenizanSports Reporter

After an opening round loss to the Handsworth Royals, the Elgin Park Orcas finished ninth at 2011 B.C. High School AAA Girls cham-pionships, which wrapped up Sat-urday at Capilano University.

The 70-63 loss to Handsworth last Wednesday bumped the Orcas into the consolation bracket of the provincial tournament.

Elgin got off to a slow start against the Royals, and trailed by 17 at halftime, and though they made a strong second-half come-back, fell just short.

“We had down to six and were running back and on our way, but just couldn’t get it,” said Elgin Park head coach Stu Graham, from the Langley Events Centre, where in advance of B.C. triple-A boys pro-

vincials his old high school team – the 1971 North Delta Huskies – was being honoured on the 40th anniversary of the team’s provin-cial title.

After the opening-round loss, Elgin rebounded to win their next two, before losing 63-51 to Maple Ridge Saturday in the battle for sixth place.

The loss dropped them to ninth overall in B.C. – one spot better than the team finished last year.

“The girls battled so hard and had been on such a great playoff run – having to win four or five must-win games, having to play in a wild-card game to get to provin-cials... they should be very proud of themselves,” Graham said.

As has been the case for much of the year, the Orcas were led at provincials by the duo of Stacey

Graham and Sandy Hsu. The pair alternated as the team’s

leading scorer, with Hsu notching 30 – to go with six rebounds and four assists – in the Handsworth loss, Graham racking up 32 the following day, in a 72-42 win over Mount Baker, and Hsu again tak-ing the reins of the offence, with 25 points, in a 70-61 victory over Heritage Park.

“They’re our glue,” Stu Graham said of his two stars.

In the team’s final game against Maple Ridge, Graham had 24 points.

Hsu was named an honourable mention all-star.

The provincial banner was won this year by Abbotsford’s W.J. Mouat Hawks, who beat Clare-mont 69-64 in the gold-medal game Saturday night.

For the second year in a row, the Southridge Storm senior boys have placed sixth in the province at B.C. AA Basketball Championships.

Southridge opened the provincial tournament last week with a “disappointing” – the words of head coach Steve Anderson – 62-52 loss to Brentwood College, which immediately bounced the South Surrey squad into the consolation bracket of the 16-team tourna-ment.

After the loss, however, the Storm reeled off three straight victories to finish sixth.

The first win came against Vancouver’s David Thompson Secondary, 77-42, and that was followed up by an 80-68 win over College Heights Secondary, of Prince George.

In the team’s final game of the season, the Storm edged Fraser Valley rivals G.W. Graham, 69-66, to finish sixth.

Southridge’s Jacob Andreou was named a second-team provincial all-star.

Storm sixth for second straight year

Illegal dumping is a serious and growing problem in Surrey.

Abandoned garbage is not only an eyesore but it impacts our City in many negative ways.

Illegally dumped material makes neighbourhoods look filthy and unsanitary and also has serious effects on the environment, wildlife habitat and

the ability of others to use and enjoy outdoor recreational areas.

Let’s respect each other and dispose of waste properly. To find disposal locations, or report illegal dumping incidents, please visit www.surrey.ca or call Surrey’s Engineering

ILLEGAL DUMPING / ABANDONED WASTE


score to 6-5, but Ius sealed the win with an empty-netter.

While Sunday’s tilt was an offen-sive barn-burner – 12 total goals and a combined 78 shots on net – Game 4 at the Langley Events Cen-tre Friday was anything but.

Eagles sniper Richard Vander-hoek had both of Surrey’s goals in regulation.

Surrey’s 2-0 lead lasted a little over a minute, when Lan-gley’s Brandon Thompson made it 2-1. The Chiefs tied the game just a little over a minute into the third, when Brad McBride jammed a puck past

Surrey’s Karel St. Lau-rent.

As could be expected from two teams who played the night before, overtime was a slug-gish, at times sloppy, affair, filled with plenty of neutral zone turn-overs by both squads.

After a scoreless first overtime period, Vanderlugt sent his team home with the victory when he scooped up a rebound at the side of the Langley net – the original shot from the point had clanged off the mask of Chiefs goalie Wyatt Gal-ley – and wired a wrist shot under the crossbar.

“I thought we had the better chances in overtime, but it’s one of those things were anything can happen – one play and it’s over – so we were happy to get out with the win,” Erhart said.

Brad McGowan added two assists

in the win, giving him 18 points in eight playoff games, just one point back of Ius for the league lead.

In Game 3 Thursday night in Langley – which gave the Eagles a 2-1 series lead – Vanderhoek again led the Eagles with two goals, key-ing a 4-3 victory, while Vanderlugt and McGowan also scored.

Lindores, who has nine points in 10 playoff games after tallying just 21 in 60 regular-season con-

tests – added two assists, as did Colton Mackie. Like Lindores, Mackie has upped his playoff produc-tion significantly; the Sur-rey native has four points thus far, after scoring just six in 51 games during the season.

In the first period, Vanderlugt and Vanderhoek scored 29 seconds apart to stake the Birds to a 2-1 by the 3:38 mark of the first period, and McGowan scored with a minute to go in the frame to extend the lead. In the second period, Vanderhoek scored his sec-ond of the game with his team on a five-on-three power play, at which point the Chiefs mounted their comeback attempt.

Langley forward Josh Myers scored 2:19 after Vanderhoeks’ power-play tally, and in the third period, Gerling made it 4-2 at the 4:11 mark.

With 11 minutes left, Myers struck again, this time short-handed, to bridge the gap to 4-3, but the Eagles were able to hold on to the victory.

In the end, the glass slipper didn’t fit Cinderella.

Playing in the national champi-onship game, Trinity Western – student body population of 2,735 – was up against the Carleton Ravens, who boast an enrolment of more than 22,000 students and had won six of the past eight Canadian Interuniversity Sport men’s basket-ball championships.

But after a last-second 74-72 vic-tory, with Kyle Coston hitting a three-pointer with 11.6 seconds remaining in Saturday’s semifinal over archrival UBC, the under-dog Spartans were denied the gold medal, falling 82-59 to the Ravens. This was the Spartans first-ever appearance at nationals.

The tournament was held at the Halifax Metro Centre.

“We learned something about the intensity required to win a champi-onship,” said Spartans coach Scott Allen, a South Surrey resident and former longtime head coach at White Rock Christian Academy.

Sunday was also the last college basketball game for Tyrell Mara, who, along with younger brother, Eli, and Tonner Jackson, was one of three WRCA players on the sil-ver-medal winning Trinity squad.

A third South Surrey resident, Southridge grad Kurtis Osborne, was also on the squad.

With Trinity Western concentrat-ing on shutting down CIS player of the year and tournament MVP Tyson Hinz in the post, the Ravens responded with some deadly out-side shooting. Carleton shot 16-for-38 from beyond the arc.

“They are so good in the post, we had to pick our poison and mix it up,” Allen said. “Full credit to (Car-leton), they’re a machine.”

The team was done in by some poor shooting, as they hit just 35.4 per cent of their field goals, down

from their season average of 47.2.The Ravens were ranked first in

the country all season long, but a loss in the playoffs dropped them to the tournament’s second seed.

The Spartans came in ranked fifth in the eight-team tournament.

In their opener, they ousted the fourth-seed Lakehead 82-74 and faced top-ranked UBC in semi-finals. Trinity Western erased a 16-point second quarter deficit to defeat the Thunderbirds by a single bucket.

Peace Arch United is one game away from a return to the Pakenham Cup finals, after a quarter-final victory ear-lier this month – won on penalty kicks – over Langley.

PAU’s premier men’s team – the defending Pakenham champions and winners of four of the past six – edged Langley 3-2 in the tilt, played at South Surrey Athletic Park, after prevailing 5-4 on penalty kicks.

Peace Arch goalkeeper Brian Brum played the hero’s role for the home

side, stopping Langley’s third shootout attempt to preserve the win.

Jamie Williams scored both of PAU’s regulation-time goals – the first after a great feed from Keegan Munn, the second after a corner kick from Taki Vahalis.

PAU had a 2-1 lead late in the game, but Langley tied it in injury time.

With the win, Peace Arch is now set for a semifinal tilt Sunday in Port Moody against Athletic Club of B.C.
