Defence counsel questions Delta officer who arrested Berner
‘No reasonable suspicion’ for breathalyzerDan FergusonBlack Press
On June 19, 2008, one month after the crash that killed four-year-old Alexa Middelaer, senior Delta Police Depart-ment officers met with Const. Sarah Swallow to discuss her actions the day of the crash.
Swallow had been a police officer for nine months at the time she was called to the scene of the May 17, 2008 crash in South Delta, Surrey Provincial Court
Judge Peder Gulbranson heard Mon-day, during testimony at the trial of the woman who was driving the car that struck and killed Alexa.
The impact also seriously injured the tot’s aunt, Daphne Johanson. The pair had been feeding a horse at the side of the road when they were hit.
Swallow was the first officer on the scene, the one who arrested and charged Carol Berner.
The notes from the June 19 meet-
ing show it was called to “discuss in detail concerns with Const. Swallow,” according to David Tarnow, the lawyer defending Berner on multiple charges of impaired driving and dangerous driving.
Tarnow wants the judge to exclude evidence from the officer, arguing Swal-low did not have “reasonable suspicion” to carry out a blood-alcohol breath test on his client and Berner should not have been detained in the back of Swal-
low’s police cruiser.Last week, as Alexa’s parents, Michael
and Laurel – who is a Southridge School principal – listened, the court heard Berner failed when she blew into a hand-held unit at the scene. The road-side screening device is designed to fail anyone who blows above 100 mil-ligrams of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood. The legal limit is 80.
She passed two more tests at DPD Carol Bernerdriver

A 10-year-old boy was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries Saturday after he impaled his arm on a chainlink fence at H.T. Thrift Elementary.
Surrey firefighters were called to the 1739 148 St. school at 12:15 p.m. June 5.
The boy, a Grade 4 student at the school, was injured as he went to retrieve a ball from a fenced-off garden area on the grounds. He had reportedly been playing with a friend, bouncing a ball against an exterior wall of the school, when the ball went astray.
“From what I understand, the ball went over the fence, he climbed over the fence to get it and then on the way back... he slipped and the bar that was at the top of the gate impaled from his elbow into his arm about three or four inches,” Battalion Chief Gerry Wilson said Monday.
The boy was dangling by his arm from the fence. A man who was in the area and saw what happened held the injured student up until fire crews arrived and cut him down, Wilson said.

Motherhood issue unites hopeful parents
A mostpuzzling concept Tracy HolmesStaff Reporter
L orrayne Norris always wanted to be a mother. As a child, she dreamed of the
day, of how she would do nice things with her children.
She never imagined she wouldn’t be able to get pregnant. Her own mother had no trouble conceiving, and all four of her siblings are parents.
“I was always going to be a mother,” Norris said.
Now 38 and into her sixth year of trying to do just that, the South Surrey woman describes her unexplained infertility as one of the most infuriating diagnoses ever.
“It means… they don’t understand why you’re not getting pregnant.”ACCORDING to online statistics, infertility affects about one in six North American couples.
Causes can range from irregular ovulation and endomytriosis to low sperm count or clogged fallopian tubes.
Regardless what is behind the � see page 2 � see page 4

difficulty getting pregnant, the journey is both challenging and isolating, Norris said.
“The vast majority of people grieve this alone,” she said, describing the shame many people feel at being unable to conceive.
A lack of understanding by those unaffected by infertility makes it that much harder for those who need it to seek out and find support, she said.
But Norris aims to change all that.“I just hope to build awareness. I want
people to know about infertility and have a little bit of understanding of how hard it is to walk through when it’s something you really want.”
To that end, and as part of her own journey, Norris set out to create a support network for people in the South Surrey/White Rock area. She wanted to help others in the same situation; create a safe place for them to learn, share and grieve.
Many topics are covered at the Thursday meetings at Ocean Park Library, from the treatments couples are undergoing in the hopes of getting pregnant to the frustration felt when others more fertile offer their insights to the problem.
“I’ve heard all the comments,” said Glenna Owen, who co-leads the group with Norris. “The one we all hate the most is, ‘Just relax, it’ll happen.’ It’s like telling someone to relax and they won’t get cancer.”
Owen, who is also a South Surrey resident, spent five years – and more than $30,000 – trying to get pregnant. She finally conceived through invitro fertilization, and gave birth to her second daughter in April, using embryos that were taken at the same time as those that resulted in her first daughter. In effect, the girls were conceived at the same time, but born two years apart.
Owen’s success offers others struggling with infertility hope, Norris said.
Norris can also attest to the expense
associated with infertility. She and her husband have spent about $15,000 on the medical side of trying to get pregnant.
And then there’s the alternative treatments – acupuncture, herbs, special diets and more.
Both Norris and Owen also tried “dirt tea,” a repulsive brew that tastes like dirt but is touted by Chinese medicine practitioners to
improve odds of conception.Norris has been sharing her journey with
all of the above since November – the fifth anniversary of her first attempt to conceive – at www.dirtteaforayear.com
She and Owen also participated in a recent art exhibit – Terry Nurmi’s ‘inconceivable’ – for which women were invited to create petri-dish collages of their infertility experiences.
Helping other women through the infertility journey has been healing, Norris said.
And while she can feel herself slowly coming to terms with her infertility, she’s not ready to give up on becoming a mother.
“I have moments where I can imagine childlessness...
but I know I wouldn’t be a happy 60-year-old,” she said.
THE LOCAL support group has about 11 members, the majority of whom are still going through infertility treatments.
Owen said she is not the only success story, noting one member recently became pregnant with twins.
But it doesn’t change the fact the journey of infertility is a trying one, and one that is more common than most can conceive.
“The one thing you think should be the most natural, easiest thing to do in the world is to have a baby,” Owen said.
“I just couldn’t believe that with all the science, I couldn’t have a baby.”

Hannah SutherlandStaff Reporter
The City of White Rock is still in search of its identity, and has decided to take a grassroots approach in finding it.
Council approved a recommen-dation at its Monday meeting to invite interested individuals to apply to be a member of a steer-ing committee, which would make recommendations to council on developing an image for the city.
City manager Peggy Clark said the committee, comprising approx-imately six members, would review
background work done in 2007 by a consultant hired by the city to help define what makes White Rock unique.
The city used a $70,000 Union of BC Municipalities grant to hire California-based firm Whisper, which presented a report in July 2008 that proposed the waterfront be marketed as “Silver Beach.”
Other suggestions – such as call-ing the city “the Island of White Rock” – proved unpopular with many, and council decided not to accept the recommendations.
“However, the consultant did a
lot of background work prior to coming up with the logo, and that work may be of value in terms of starting this process again,” Clark said, noting the city has been look-ing at branding since 2004.
“The steering committee would review this background research and come forward to council with a recommendation on how to pro-ceed, if that’s what they felt was nec-essary, or if they felt more research should be done, or how the process should unfold from there.”
Clark said a request will be made for individuals from various back-
grounds who are interested in volunteering on the steering committee, and resumés will be reviewed “almost like a jury selec-tion.”
White Rock resident Chris Thornley, president of a communications company, has volunteered to lead the group, she added.
Mayor Catherine Fergu-son said Thornley comes with a strong record, having worked on recent rebranding for the City of Surrey and Sources.
“We’re very fortunate to have him come to White Rock City Hall and offer his services to us for the beginning phases of this project, which I think is a very important building block as we move forward in council with setting a vision for the city and repositioning ourselves as the place that we are.
“We’re not promoting ourselves as well as we need to be, and this is one of the ways we can start doing that.”

Standoff in CloverdaleJennifer LangBlack Press
A six-hour-long armed standoff in down-town Cloverdale ended peacefully Monday evening when a man believed to be armed and wanted on a Canada-wide warrant gave himself up.
The takedown ended after drawing throngs of onlookers and involving dozens of police from across the Lower Mainland.
The sight of snipers, dog squads and an armoured vehicle stationed on main street had observers wondering if a film crew was in the area, but those who gathered quickly realized an ongoing police incident was underway.
The incident began Monday afternoon when police entered at the White Hotel to investigate a theft. Earlier in the day, at least two other people were taken from the hotel, an old apart-
ment building with five rental suites upstairs.“The police came to my door and asked to
use my window to get on the roof,” resident Natalie Stack told Black Press, noting that when they came back a half hour later carrying guns, they whisked her out of the building to safety.
“Apparently there is a gentlemen with a gun up there and he’s really stoned on drugs and he’s threatening to shoot anybody who comes near,” Stack said.
The man was believed to be armed and dan-gerous, Insp. Randall Marquardt of the RCMP told reporters Monday.
“I do want to emphasize that there is no dan-ger to the public,” he said.
Police cordoned off the 5700 block of 176 Street, evacuating 65 students from the Clover-dale Learning Centre and locking down area businesses, including the Cloverdale Legion.
Cyclist hitA White Rock woman suffered
minor injuries Monday when she was knocked off her bicycle as she crossed 24 Avenue in a marked crosswalk.
Police were called to the 15300-block of 24 Avenue around 10:45 a.m. June 7.
The woman, 51, suffered minor scratches and bruising to her left leg when she was struck by an eastbound Ford pickup that had stopped at the pedestrian-activated crossing for
another pedestrian.According to police reports, the
truck rolled over the bike’s rear tire and partially over the woman’s leg, said Const. Kenn Meglic. The driver, a 43-year-old Surrey
resident, told police the cyclist darted in front of his vehicle. The cyclist claimed the amber lights were still flashing when she crossed.
Meglic said the bottom line is motorists must yield to pedestrians.
“Especially in a crosswalk,” he said. “You have to give right-of-way for an occupied space in the roadway, especially for a
pedestrian or cyclist.”Anyone who witnessed the
incident who hasn’t spoken with police is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.
Death not suspiciousA 40-year-old man was discov-
ered dead in a 2005 Infiniti G35 sports car early Tuesday morning.
The car was found in a ditch on Colebrook Road in South Surrey east of 152 Street.
Surrey RCMP said foul play did not appear to be involved.
An investigator from the coro-ner’s office attended the scene.
The area was cordoned off to traffic for several hours until the
driver and car could be removed from the scene.
Intruder takes beerA report of a suspicious person
in a South Surrey seniors’ residence sent police to King George Boulevard early Sunday.
A dog team was brought in around 3 a.m. to track a male who was seen in the building.
Police also set up a perimeter around the 2500 block in an attempt to locate the suspect. It is unclear when or how he entered the facility, which offers independent and assisted-living accommodation.
The dog tracked the male out of the building toward King George, but lost the trail after that, Const. Kenn Meglic said. Roadblocks also failed to locate the perpetrator.
There were no reports of injury at the care home, however, a small quantity of beer was determined stolen, Meglic said.

headquarters later in the day.During his questioning of Swal-
low, Tarnow suggested the June meeting was called to “fix the problem” of procedural mistakes by a junior officer in a high-pro-file case that was under political pressure to get results.
“I remember them going over with me why I did what I did,” was all Swallow would say.
“C’mon, officer Swallow,” Tar-now said.
Tarnow took issue with the offi-cer’s claim that she put Berner in the back of her police cruiser because it was hot out and her car had air conditioning.
“You just made that up, didn’t you?” Tarnow said.
“You weren’t concerned about her comfort, ma’am.”
Swallow stuck by her story.Tarnow complained that Swal-
low did not read Berner her rights before placing her in the
back seat of the cruiser, where the doors lock from the outside and Berner would be unable to leave.
“Did Ms. Berner have an opportunity to leave at any junction?” Tar-now said.
“No,” the officer responded.
Tarnow challenged Swallow’s decision to administer the breath-alcohol test at the scene that indicated Berner was over the legal limit.
Swallow testified that while Berner was sitting in the cruiser, she admitted to the police officer that she had con-sumed two glasses of wine before the crash.
But the officer did not record that conversation even though she had a portable recorder and had used it to tape other conver-sations that day, Tarnow said.
Without the admission, there would have been no legal grounds for such a test because Berner did
not smell of alcohol, and had no trouble walking or speaking clearly, Tar-now argued.
Following the testi-mony by Swallow and the Delta officer who conducted a later test that showed Berner was below the legal limit, the trial was adjourned until this morning (Wednes-day), when Tarnow and prosecutor Kim Wendel
are to make arguments on the admissibility of the evidence.
If the judge rules there were no reasonable grounds to suspect Berner had been drinking, he could exclude the results of the test administered at the scene, a decision that would reduce the likelihood of an impaired-driv-ing conviction.
Exclude wine testimony: defence� from page 1
The boy was taken to hospital with the piece of fence embedded in his arm. He underwent surgery, and is expected to make a full recovery.
“It just sort of went into the flesh area of the arm and that was it. From what I under-stand, I don’t think there was any broken bones or any real main arteries or veins cut,” he said. “Very lucky.”
The school district’s Doug Strachan described the incident as a “freak accident.” The district’s facilities’ crew will be reviewing what happened to determine if anything can be done to prevent
similar injuries on district prop-erties in the future, he said.
“The school and the district
take student safety and children’s safety very seriously,” Strachan said.

The Epta proposal received final adoption from White Rock council Monday, after complet-ing an amenity agreement with the city.
The project – originally a seniors-oriented development – includes a mixed-use rental residential/commercial build-ing (10.6 metres high) along Johnston Road and a residen-
tial building (48.7 metres) along George Street.
According to a planning report, the city’s density bonus policy requires amenity contribution in the amount of $20 per square-metre floor area for commercial and multi-unit residential proj-ects in the Town Centre.
“The applicants have now satis-fied the development pre-req-
uisite requirements for comple-tion and registration of amenity agreement in accordance with city density bonus requirements,” planning and development direc-tor Paul Stanton stated in his report to council. “The zoning amendment bylaw and develop-ment permit can therefore now proceed for final approvals.”

Gangland killings have eased and new strategies to reform repeat criminals are continuing to pay major dividends, according to B.C.’s top RCMP officer.
Pacific Region Deputy Commissioner Gary Bass gave an optimistic outlook of policing in the province in a recent wide-ranging interview with Black Press.
He acknowledged much public attention is focused on the pending release of findings of the Braidwood Inquiry into the death of Robert Dziekanski, who died after being tasered at Vancouver airport in 2007.
Bass said an ongoing string of high-profile cases of officer misconduct is not reflective of the broader force, nor does it signal an upswing in such incidents.
For the past year, he said, the RCMP has shifted to a policy of “proactively” announcing cases where officers have been arrested or charged with crimes.
“We’re being more open about it,” he said, adding the force has been under “significant stress” but he sees better days ahead.
Fewer gang-linked murders so far this
year compared to last year is one area of improvement.
“We’re seeing fewer open air kind of shootings,” Bass said. “That’s not to say we’re not getting drive-by shootings, we are. But we’re not getting the numbers of confrontational shoot-outs that we were.”
He said longer-term gains depend on education and preventing youth from getting involved in organized crime.
More significant, Bass said, is the decline in overall crime rates.
“It’s beyond all expectations,” Bass said. “The stats are down consistently.”
The RCMP now employs more than 110 crime analysts to harvest patterns using databases. They help
track prolific offenders, predict crime and decide how to deploy officers.
Police closely watch the most prolific criminals after they’re released from prison.
The per capita rate of car thefts is down 55 per cent in RCMP’s B.C. detachments from their peak in 2004.
Break-and-enters are also down by about 38 per cent since 2004 on a per capita basis.
Bass said further gains are coming by partnering with other social agencies to help offenders kick drugs, find housing and get assistance they need.
Those trials of integrated prolific offender management are underway in six cities – Kamloops, Prince George, the Capital Regional
District, Surrey, Nanaimo and Williams Lake.
He confirmed negotiations are now underway with the B.C. government over the renewal of the RCMP contract in B.C., which expires after 2012.
Attorney General Mike de Jong and NDP critic Mike Farnsworth have recently said it would be cheaper for B.C. to continue using the RCMP.
Bass also addressed the calls for a regional police force that puts the Lower Mainland’s patchwork of RCMP detachments and municipal police forces under the same uniform and structure.
He said several existing integrated policing teams targeting gangs are being merged to ensure an improved approach.
He noted many cities prefer their own police to a regional force.
Directing a single regional police force would be a challenge, he said, since it would answer to as many as two dozen different mayors and city councils.
“Different communities want different things,” he said.
“You can’t really talk police regionalization until you talk political regionalization. That’s the reality.”

There were more than 4,000 hospital visits due to ATV-related injuries in 2004/05, according to the Canadian Institute for
Health Information.Children younger than 16 years of age account
for almost one-third of ATV injury-related emergency department visits and 30 per cent or more of ATV injury hospitalizations, according to the Canadian Pediatric Society.
Almost half of all ATV deaths occur in children under the age of 16.
Those chilling statistics should be foremost in the minds of all parents who allow their young children to ride motorized off-road machines.
The dangers of ATVs, dirt bikes and similar off-road vehicles hit close to home on the Peninsula. It was about this time six years ago, in May 2004, when Elgin Park student Alex Benson was killed when the dirt bike he was riding in a vacant South Surrey lot flipped after a jump. Benson, to his credit, was wearing a helmet – those who knew him described him as a thrill-seeker, but one who always put safety first – but the protective lid popped off during the accident, and Benson’s head hit the ground.
It’s cases such as Benson’s that should act as a deterrent in case the statistics aren’t enough.
Yet, it seems in many cases, those facts are unknown, or simply disregarded.
Hence, some medical professionals and children’s health organizations feel there should be age restrictions on the use of off-road vehicles (ORV). The concept of more government regulation rankles many people, particularly those who participate in these activities with the right training, precautions and safety equipment.
The provincial government appears to agree – it’s not considering age limits, but will introduce laws next year making helmet use mandatory, as well as adult supervision for young riders, who also must only ride machines sized and powered for their age and weight, and at reduced speeds.
You would think that such regulation wouldn’t be necessary. You would think that parents would ensure their children are following such basic safety measures.
And while it’s true wearing a helmet doesn’t guarantee tragedy won’t result from a crash, it certainly betters the odds. Knowing that, who would let their kids climb onto a steel machine capable of high speeds, in rough terrain, without one?
Sadly, the statistics tell us, quite a few.So often, regulations are made necessary by
the irresponsible.
editorial
VICTORIA – The final battle in the long spring sitting of the B.C. legislature was over the
Clean Energy Act, Premier Gordon Campbell’s extreme makeover of the province’s industrial infrastructure.
With the city media enthralled by the HST melodrama, the brute-force imposition of this sweeping energy law passed with little notice. The B.C. Liberals used their majority to ram it through in the dying moments, without clause-by-clause debate or votes.
This deprived a lone B.C. Liberal backbencher of his own symbolic protest against the legislation. Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad had planned to vote against two sections that formalize a ban on nuclear plants and additional big hydro dams beyond Site C on the Peace River.
Rustad assures me he’s not keen on a nuclear plant for Vanderhoof, or damming the Iskut and Liard Rivers up north. He’s just making a point about imposing restrictions on future governments to deal with population growth, climate change and technology.
The Clean Energy Act reshapes the province’s power grid to expand via independent energy projects: wind,
solar, biomass and above all, run-of-river hydro. Like the previous licensing of private liquor stores, it’s a classic ideological move to dilute a union-heavy
government monopoly with private competition.
The liquor analogy is useful here. As with the lucrative wholesaling of booze through the Liquor Distribution Branch, the government giant BC Hydro still controls the electricity trade. Casting himself as the reincarnation of W.A.C. Bennett, Campbell has instructed BC Hydro to build and operate the Site C dam in order to expand the utility’s capacity to buy and sell intermittent private power.
The NDP’s line on all this is similar to its union-backed protest against private liquor retailing. B.C. Liberal buddies magically obtain key roles in the emerging industry, which then donates big money to the ruling party as it carves out a lucrative new market by legislation.
There’s something to be said for this. For instance, former ICBC czar Paul Taylor just pulled the ripcord on a $665,000 golden parachute, bailing out as CEO of Naikun Wind after only two years. Naikun’s proposed wind farm in the ocean off Haida Gwaii is one of the
bigger projects designed to benefit from the Clean Energy Act.
Just as a case of beer tends to cost more in a private store, the NDP argues that private power is larded with profit. Energy Minister Blair Lekstrom counters that all new power sources will cost more, including the publicly-owned Site C.
The NDP’s strongest argument on cost is that BC Hydro can borrow money more cheaply than any private company. The party’s two ablest critics, Bruce Ralston and John Horgan, produced a breakdown last week that shows the utility can issue long-term debt at 4.6 per cent, while private companies are borrowing at 10 to 12 per cent.
You’ll pay the difference on your power bill, unless Campbell’s gamble pays off and Hydro makes a premium selling low-carbon power to Alberta, Saskatchewan and California.
The NDP attack has mainly focused on the sharp reduction in the role of the B.C. Utilities Commission. The Clean Energy Act dictates that the independent commission won’t review any of BC Hydro’s in-house projects: Site C, a billion-dollar “smart meter” program, and the expansion of the Revelstoke and Mica dams to their design capacity. This is a sensible efficiency move in my view.
But the legislation also blocks the commission from reviewing all these private power contracts to see if they are in the public interest. Here’s one place I’d like to see the big players cross-examined on a witness stand.

MP’s answers elicit questionsEditor: Re: Questions for Russ Hiebert, June 2.
Irrespective of whether taxpayers should finance MP Russ Hiebert’s family trips – this practice is certainly not the norm in business – Hiebert needs to be honest.
One of his stated reasons for travelling executive class is the cheaper Tango Plus fare is non-refundable. He is correct that it is not refundable, but the fare allows for changes with a $50 penalty, and the unused ticket can be applied within a one-year period. Since Hiebert travels frequently, this credit transfer could be easily used.
Also, his cost comparisons were misleading. The fares he quoted
were for a one-way ticket without taxes. The $1,894 fare he quoted in fact amounts to $4,088.96 return. Multiply that by four, for his family, and one trip costs $16,355.84.
A Tango Plus direct fare would cost $707.96, or $2,831.84 for four.
I question whether Canadian taxpayers feel this represents best practice and is money well spent.
When asked about printing costs, Hiebert stated, “My constituents constantly tell me they want to be informed about issues… regular newsletters and surveys is a key part of my communications.”
Apparently, Hiebert only listens to some of his constituents. I have on numerous occasions asked that the unsolicited mailings he distributes be discontinued to my home. I have never had a response.
I suggest Hiebert post his musings on his website. Those interested could access the information, and the printing costs, wasted paper and
added expense of disposing of his communications be eliminated.
I also suggest Hiebert take a good look at whose interests he’s serving – his own or the people who elected him to represent them.Shirley Kingdon, Surrey
Russ Hiebert answered one Peace Arch News question: “I and most of my colleagues, and their spouses and children, choose executive class when we can. In addition, during the five-hour flight, I use this time to review documents and work on government business on a laptop. This material is confidential and the larger workspace gives me room to maintain that confidentiality.”
Travelling with a spouse, one small child and a baby, just how much government work can this MP do? For any parent who has travelled with a child and an infant, this is just about impossible.
With two young children in such
close quarters, just how secure are the confidential papers? Just how does Hiebert keep these papers from prying eyes of fellow passengers, behind, in front and seats on the sides?
As for the cost to the Canadian taxpayer, Hiebert is still trying to hide the true cost. According to Air Canada’s web site, on June 2 the cost for Hiebert, his wife and young child would cost the taxpayers $6,110.04. When their baby is two, there would be another $2,036.88.
And that’s just one way. Mr. Hiebert, please be upright
and honest and don’t try to act like a politician trying to hide the facts from your constituency. William A. Cameron, White Rock
Whether audited or not, Russ Hiebert’s unapologetic accounting of his spendthrift ways raises more questions than it answers.
For instance, how many round-trip tickets Vancouver/Ottawa were purchased for $220,000, keeping in mind children under two years old usually travel free?
And, in fact, how many days was Parliament in session 2008/09?
Then, how does one run up a telephone bill for the sum of $1,929 per month when one can Skype or phone anywhere in the world for next to nothing these days?
And, regarding the $88,000-figure for what our MP calls his key source of communication with 120,000 constituent begs this question, what was the cost to recycle the rubbish?
Hiebert feels entitled to spend $8,000 per week for airlines tickets for his family to accompany him to work while seniors and others in the constituency often must live on just $1,500 per month.
Where’s the democracy here?Elizabeth Kearns, White Rock
I commend Russ Hiebert for wanting to spend as much time as he can with his family. And yes, he is working well within the rules of Parliament and travelling with your family is allowed and is a wonderful perk that this family enjoys.
However, there are several things that just annoy the hell out of me regarding this whole matter.
First, is anyone surprised Hiebert was “too busy” to answer this newspaper’s questions in person or on the phone? How surprising when things start to get rough, a politician hides behind the old “gee, really busy working hard for the citizens, can’t actually talk to one right now.”
One interesting piece of information contained in his emailed answers is that the Hieberts tend to fly executive class because the $360 difference is “minimal.” I have a decent paying job, and so does my wife, and we do not consider $360 per person to be “minimal.”
My job also requires me to travel – obviously not as much as Hiebert but around 11 times a year.
I also have to review confidential material and somehow manage to do it in the coach section. Yes, it sucks in coach but the majority of us somehow manage to survive.
Just because travelling in executive class is allowed by Parliament, it doesn’t make it right.D. Kinnie, Surrey

Family businessEditor: Re: MP defends expense ranking as family matter, May 26.
Judging from the firestorm that has taken over the print media and the open-line talk shows regarding MP Russ Hiebert’s expenses for the last fiscal year, we could surely expect this newspaper would print numerous letters on this topic.
Perhaps not all will be critical, if they take the time to consider the choices that were made and the fact this was done in full compliance with Parliamentary guidelines.
Let me be clear that I support Hiebert, and that I and many others worked very hard to re-elect him in the last two elections. I did so because I generally agree with the policies espoused by the Conservative Party of Canada, and I believe that Hiebert is the best candidate to represent this riding.
It also seems the overwhelming majority of voters agreed with me as he won the last election handily.
Hiebert states he is committed to keeping his family together, and I wholeheartedly support them for their commitment to family.
My wife and I celebrate our 50th year together, and family is our core value. In our first three years of marriage, I was only able to spend a cumulative three months with my family due to work commitments. That was not acceptable. Changes were made so our family could be together. That was not easy, moving family the length and breadth of B.C. and most of Alberta. My employer supported and encouraged families to move together, and I and others took full advantage of all assistance.
Can I fault Hiebert for doing the same? I think not.
Transparency can be a good thing, and if auditor general Sheila Fraser wishes to examine the accounts, perhaps that may prove beneficial if it eliminates excesses. If guidelines are too lax then revise them, but do
not sanction anyone for wanting to keep their families together.
Hiebert and his staff assist hundreds of constituents every month. He is known as one of the hardest-working MPs on the Hill.
If anyone seriously objects to his travel expenses, try working long hours with multiple appointments and meetings, without the support of family. Perhaps you might appreciate then why so many support him.Cam Fergusson, Surrey
I can’t express the feelings of anger I have in reading about Russ Hiebert’s expenses.
I also have a young family, and I work extremely hard in a health-care profession to support them. It would take years for me to make $200,000 – this for one year of flights! I read that this is an allowable expense, but it still leaves me with a sick feeling like I’ve been taken advantage of.
It adds more pain to hear those flyers I’m always recycling cost us $81,000. I need to have a shower to wash off this feeling…Sam Fergus, Surrey
It speaks volumes that Russ Hiebert and his defenders say he wasn’t doing anything illegal and was in the bounds of Parliament to spend the most money of any able-bodied MP in all of Canada.
It is admirable that Russ so stoutly defends the value of family.
Unfortunately, it seems to only be his family that he and the Conservatives care about.
His sense of entitlement – and that of all MPs – should provoke outrage. The fact this largess is accepted as “within the bounds of Parliamentary rules” is detestable enough in the light of the average Canadian experience, but to hide behind the defence of “just trying to keep my family together” is pathetic.
My wife, a government lawyer, has never flown executive or business class, even when she could have in the pre-Radwanski days. When she has to travel to Ottawa, she stays over the weekend to save on airfare, she stays with friends to save on a hotel, and she is frugal in meals at restaurants. She does this out of respect to taxpayers – you and me and all the people who don’t have their snouts in the public trough.
Hiebert is doing a fine job following in the footsteps of the likes of Brian Mulroney and other politicians who feel a sense of entitlement that, to the rest of us, passes as arrogance beyond belief.
If “keeping the family together” is good enough for our MPs, it should be good enough for us, the employers who pay them. Either allow me to deduct the cost of “keeping my family together” or suck it up and pay your family’s own way like the rest of us!Alan McInnes, Surrey

VICTORIA – A task force on local elections has recommended tighter spending rules for candidates, and a four-year term of office for those elected to municipal councils and school boards.
The task force of councillors and B.C. Liberal MLAs decided not to place limits on campaign contribu-tions by individuals, businesses and unions. Requiring disclosure of all donations and placing limits on can-didate spending is sufficient to allow voters to make up their minds, said Community and Rural Development Minister Bill Bennett, co-chair of the task force.
The task force also recommended against giving businesses a vote in local elections. Some coastal com-munities have seen an industrial tax revolt led by Catalyst Paper, which unsuccessfully argued in court that local councils have loaded too much of the local tax burden on their mills.
Bennett said another task force is looking at the imbalance between residential and business taxes in some communities, but the principle of one person, one vote was deemed more important than businesses being taxed without representation.
“You look around the world and you see that there is no corporate or business vote anywhere in the world, except for downtown London, Eng-land, and nobody lives in downtown London, England,” Bennett said.
NDP community development critic Scott Fraser said the B.C. Liberals
didn’t want to impose limits on cam-paign contributions at the municipal level, because they have refused to do so provincially. Corporate dona-tions have put the B.C. Liberal Party far ahead of the NDP in campaign money collected in recent years, and NDP leader Carole James has repeat-edly called for a ban on corporate and union donations to provincial parties.
Fraser, a former mayor of Tofino, said he supports the idea of extending municipal terms from three to four years. It takes a new mayor a year to “get up to speed” and that leaves little time to enact policy before prepara-tions begin for another election, he said.
Bennett said the recommendations will go to cabinet, and he hopes leg-islation can be passed to implement them before local elections come around again in November 2011.

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Hannah SutherlandStaff Reporter
Naty King didn’t think twice about hiring Janek Bajerski at her South Surrey
business, Hazelmere Organic Farm.
Having grown up in the Philippines with a younger sister who has Down syndrome, King is well aware of how capable people with disabilities can be.
“It was a no-brainer to not treat her any differently,” she said of her sibling, Cookie, now 52.
So when she learned of Semiahmoo House Society’s Customized Employment Program, which assists people with disabilities in finding employment, King jumped on the opportunity.
“I thought ‘why not?’” she said. “There’s so many at Semiahmoo House who are more than able.
“There’s no reason why they shouldn’t be employed.”
She was introduced to the program by customer and Fieldstone Artisan Breads owner Paul Hanley, who hired Eric Sherer two years ago to work in his bakery three days a week.
Peace Arch News reported last spring how Sherer, who has Down syndrome, was a dependable employee, washing dishes, making boxes and vacuuming – not to mention putting smiles on the faces of both customers and staff.
Sherer is one of six people in the program currently working in the community. Others have found jobs dishwashing at a restaurant; doing general cleaning and office duties at an accounting firm; and stocking at a hardware store.
Program participants are matched with an employer based on their interests and skills, which is why Bajerski, who has a developmental disability, was placed at King’s farm last March.
The 23-year-old had already worked at a greenhouse for several years with a group of individuals
with disabilities, and proved to be one of the hardest workers.
“Janek excelled at that,” vocational counsellor Dana Miller said. “He wanted to fulfill his potential out in the community.”
And that he is, now working three days a week at Hazelmere Organic Farm, where he bags produce, stocks the freezer, cleans, carries groceries to customers’ cars and
harvests in the field. “He’s an exceptional,
hardworking young man,” Miller said. “He’s polite, he has a strong willingness to work, he has a can-do approach. You ask him to
do something and he says ‘Yes, I can.’ That’s his standard response: ‘Yes, I can.’”
Farm manager Pam Spencer, who works closely with Bajerski, can attest to his helpful nature.
“Anything you ask him to do, no problem. He’s got a positive attitude – he’s always happy.”
While Bajerski, like Sherer, has found meaningful employment on the Peninsula, there are still 11 others in the program waiting for placement.
“They’re not working in the community right now because we haven’t found businesses that are willing to hire or have positions to hire the individuals,” Miller said.
The program – which has been
offered since 2008 by Community Living BC and the Ministry of Housing and Social Development – also offers participants skills assessments and job discoveries.
One local participant recently took a floral arrangement course after being encouraged to pursue her passion for flowers, and is now awaiting a position in which she can put her abilities to use.
Placements don’t have to be in conventional, Monday-through-Friday, nine-to-five jobs, Miller said. Contract work can also be suitable, whether it be cleaning homes or mowing lawns.
One of the challenges of getting employers onboard with the program is dispelling the stigma
around working with people with disabilities, she noted.
“The education component is lacking,” she said. “Management of businesses (needs) to educate themselves and educate their employees about people with disabilities and embracing diversity in the workplace.”
It’s something King has found easy to do.
“To put that extra time and patience for the ones that have challenges brings out the best in people and makes a better community,” she said. “We have to embrace everyone.”

Facing certain eviction, more than two dozen people – including a South Surrey mother and her children – have been rescued by a new loan system for people in need.
The Surrey Rent Bank (SRB) pro-vides one-time funds for working people who, through some calam-ity, face the imminent possibility of winding up on the street, but who wouldn’t qualify for financing from a bank.
“It’s just one tool, one pillar, in sup-ports for people on low income,” said SRB’s Judy Peterson. “It’s people that just fall through the cracks. They’ve got into a crisis... and they can’t get help from anywhere else.”
The pilot project, modeled after programs in Ontario and Alberta, has been in operation under the umbrella of the Newton Advocacy Group Soci-ety since February. It has so far pro-vided about 10 loans, and has funding for about 20 more. The money can be used for rent or utility debts and must be repaid, Peterson said.
Families that meet the criteria are eligible for up to $1,600, while individual loans can be as much as $1,200, Peterson said. The money is paid directly to the landlord or utility company that is owed arrears.
When the program launched, the funds were only available to Sur-rey residents. That changed about a
month ago, after applications from areas including White Rock and Delta identified a need, Peterson said.
Those who need such a helping hand constitute a “fairly narrow group,” Peterson noted. They’re not on income assistance or supported by any other service agency, and have always managed to get by.
One applicant that didn’t qualify was a married man with four chil-dren, who works night shifts for $14 an hour. He was ineligible because the family’s expenses surpassed his income.
“The ones that really bother us are the ones that we’re turning down,” Peterson said. “The ones that we can’t give the money to, it’s just tragic.”
Still, for those who do qualify, it is a relatively inexpensive way of keep-ing people from becoming homeless, she said.
The funds are provided at an inter-est rate 1.5 per cent above prime rate, with a two-year repayment schedule. If the loan is repaid, and financial management courses are taken, the interest is returned to the borrower.
Funding has been provided by the Surrey Homelessness and Housing Society, Vancity Credit Union, Envi-sion Financial and Coast Capital Sav-ings. For more information, call the Newton Advocacy Group Society at 604-596-2311, ext.123 or visit www.newtonadvocacygroup.ca

More than 5,200 books were collected to support and promote local literacy, following Surrey-Panorama MLA Stephanie Cadieux’s Book Drive for Kids.
Over the last six weeks, donations were dropped off at the constituency office, and were added to books collected by Reading Tree – Books for Charity, which had various drop box locations throughout the Surrey-Panorama riding.
“Surrey made this book drive a success,” Cadieux said in a release. “Literacy enriches your life, in work and to entertain. It is one of the best things you can do to better yourself.”
The books were distributed to children at the Healthy Kids event last Saturday at the Tong Louie YMCA.

Psst – have I got a shady deal for you...
Non-Stop Begonias are ideal forshady areas. And golly gee, I’m not sure why they call them non-stops (duh) but I do know they come in lots of colours and sell like crazy at 2.99. At this price I predict non-stop
mayhem here this week. 4” pots in bloom. Limit 60.
New Guinea Impatiens are native to a small island country just north of Australia. (Like you care.) They come in lots of colours and are self-cleaning, making them ideal for lazy people like Moi.

Even though the guy who grows our
Patio Planters does a great job, nobody has ever accused him of being overly bright. Last week he was overstocked and jumped at the fi rst offer the Boss made him.These colourful planters will be great around the patio or deck.Reg. 19.99
Here’s a great buy on
Pots with Saucers.Four styles in six colours. Pots come with an attached drainage saucer. Ceramic and terra cotta. About 7½” x 7½” they’re ideal for annuals or tropicals. While stocks last.

Delphiniums look great along a wall or at the back of a garden. They also look great in a vase in your living room.

Youth sought for tanning awareness campaignHannah SutherlandStaff Reporter
The Canadian Cancer Society is put-ting a call out for local youth who have made a conscious decision not to tan.
About a dozen girls and women – ranging from high school-age to late 20s – are sought for the campaign, which would see the successful appli-cants attend community events; be fea-tured on posters and in the media; and speak about their personal reasons for not tanning, as well as the potential
health impacts of UV exposure.According to Health Canada, expo-
sure to ultraviolet A and B radiation can cause sunburn, eye damage and other health effects, including an increased risk of skin cancer.
Natasha Raey, who is organizing the initiative for the Canadian Cancer Soci-ety, said she chose to recruit partici-pants on the Peninsula because of its close proximity to the beach, and the past involvement local youth have had in social issues.
“Most of the youth in this community, I find, are very socially conscious.”
The pilot project will run over the summer, before being taken to other communities. Raey said she hopes hav-ing youth at the forefront of the cam-paign will help reach others of the same age demographic.
“The traditional ways of getting infor-mation out isn’t effective, I find, for youth,” Raey said. “I think you need something that’s savvy and forward.”
She said the purpose of the cam-
paign is to dispel myths about tan-ning, raise awareness and change the “cultural viewpoint” that people should have tanned skin.
“We’re just trying to show people it’s OK, you don’t have to be tanned,” she said. “Our goal really is just to inform and educate. (Then) people can make their own decisions.”
Raey will be accepting submissions for youth ambassadors until the end of June. Contact [email protected] or 778-552-4538.

Tom FletcherBlack Press
VICTORIA – Both Premier Gordon Campbell and NDP leader Carole James say they are looking forward to touring the province this summer, and each has a tough sell ahead for voters.
For Campbell, it’s the harmonized sales tax that comes into effect on July 1. For James, it’s convincing the busi-ness community that her party shares its concerns.
The B.C. Liberal government pushed through its last piece of legislation Thursday, forcing an end to a heated debate over private electricity devel-opment and adjourning the legisla-ture’s spring session.
With the government still to decide whether it will go ahead with a sched-uled fall session, James said she won-dered if Thursday would be Camp-bell’s last day in the legislature.
His popularity and that of his party have tumbled because of a loss of public trust over the implementation of the HST, and she predicted any sales pitch he makes now will only backfire.
“If the premier and the B.C. Liber-als think that going out and using taxpayer dollars on ads, or travel-ing the province trying to convince them that the tax is good for them is going to change anything, then they’ve lost touch even further than I
think anyone would have imagined,” James said.
Campbell laughed when told that James had predicted he might retire before the legislature sits again.
“I think she can count on seeing me again,” he said.
Campbell said he will travel the province as he usually does, and he expects the topic of the HST will come up.
“I know that the HST is in place, I know that British Columbians are going to benefit from it starting on July 1 of this year. It’s going to gener-ate tens of thousands of jobs, billions of dollars in investment, and save small businesses across the province $150 million in compliance costs,” Campbell said.
James said she will continue to reach out to the business community on developing the economy while pro-tecting the environment and social programs.
“We need to make sure that we’re showing people that we have a vision for the economy in British Columbia, that we understand the challenge of them not having jobs in their communities,” James said. “That’s why I’ve spent a large portion of this session working with business folks, working with people from all areas of the economy to build that vision, and we’re going to continue to do that.”

Metro Vancouver mayors won’t be asked to vote again this sum-mer on whether to stump up more money for TransLink on behalf of local residents.
TransLink officials are assem-bling a base plan for 2011 that will see the transportation author-ity work within a $1.27-billion annual budget.
No funding supplement will be requested, like the one approved by mayors last year that delivered a $130-million increase by rais-ing fares, the fuel tax and pay parking tax.
That was a stop-gap solution delivering just enough money for TransLink to tread water – but not nearly enough to embark on the major transit expansion pro-gram the authority had pitched then.
A new deal on more revenue – which would likely require mayors to vote again on fur-
ther increases – now depends on negotiations with the province.
Up in the air is exactly how the promised $1.4-billion Evergreen Line to Coquitlam will be funded and whether that solution will also finance other priorities, like new rapid transit lines to Surrey and UBC, a third SeaBus and a major bus fleet expansion.
TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie said the authority will focus on maintaining the existing system and reducing administra-tion costs.
Transportation Minister Shirley Bond said the Evergreen Line will advance to the procurement stage this summer, with con-struction starting in early 2011.
She said her ministry is work-ing with TransLink and the may-ors to secure a regional contribu-tion to the line.
“The Evergreen Line will pro-ceed on schedule without delay while we continue these discus-sions,” Bond said.
Ottawa and Victoria have jointly committed to provide $810 mil-lion for the line.
A report is being prepared tab-ulating all sources of funding for TransLink. It’s hoped mayors and the province will be able to use it to agree on how much is paid by people in the region and how much more they can afford.
Metro’s regional planning com-mittee, meanwhile, is criticizing TransLink’s consultations on the 2011 base plan.
There are only a few public meetings and there’s not enough time for Metro to adequately consider it, said Langley Town-ship Mayor Rick Green.
“This is insanity – this is not consultation of any kind,” he said.
The plan calls for replacement of 133 buses, 82 community shut-tles and 137 HandyDart vehicles.
TransLink would also advance with plans to add smart cards and turnstiles to SkyTrain.
Mayors won’t be asked for cash

A walk on the light sideLaura Cornale is finally getting a sense of
what White Rock’s all about, and she’s loving every minute of it.
As the new owner of Coffee with Attitude at Five Corners, Cornale has been familiarizing herself with the faces and personalities of the seaside community since taking over the coffee shop in April.
She’s not entirely new to the Peninsula, however – she first moved here from Burnaby five years ago with her husband.
But Cornale, who worked fulltime at her brother’s Vancouver bakery until about a year ago, didn’t have much time to get to know the town she calls home.
“Before when I was commuting to Vancouver every day, I didn’t get a sense of what White Rock was all about,” she said. “But now that I have the coffee shop, I love it.”
Cornale admits that free time is still a rarity now that she owns a coffee shop – she often spends 12 hour days at the store, making most of the baked goods in-house.
She also spends a lot of time coming up with new kitchen creations, often with her husband, who is a North Vancouver firefighter and also loves to cook.
“We love working together in the kitchen.” Cornale attributes her culinary know-how to
her mother, who began teaching her the basics at a young age.
“When I was 10 years old, my mom used to sit me down next to the stove and train me,” Cornale said, noting the first thing she recalls making on her own was a full roast beef dinner.
Now with a 10-year-old daughter of her own, Cornale is thrilled to see the passion for cooking and creativity passed on to the next generation.
“Just this weekend, she made little pancakes with bananas in them, and made them into a little tower of Pisa,” Cornale said. “When I see
that creativity coming out in her, I think, ‘I must be doing something right.’”
Though well-trained in traditional Italian cooking and baking, Cornale is now branching out to what she calls a “lighter, West Coast menu,” including plenty of fresh salads and
other healthy options. So far, she said, customers have seemed to enjoy the lighter fare, especially the blueberry goat cheese chicken salad she has chosen to share.
“I love creating the lighter options,” she said. “They’re lighter, but they’re still very flavourful.”
Blueberry goat cheese chicken saladIngredients1 cup spring mix salad1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup mandarin orange pieces1 cup sliced yellow pepper1 cup halved cherry tomatoes 1 cup cooked chicken 1/4 cup goat cheese Dressing: 2 Tbsp. blueberry jam2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar 2 Tbsp. olive oil 1 Tbsp. maple syrup 1/4 tsp. ground mustard 1/4 tsp. black pepper
Instructions Arrange greens on a plate and top with fruit and
veggies. Top with sliced cooked chicken and sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese.
Warm blueberry jam in microwave for 35 seconds. Whisk in remaining dressing ingredients in a small bowl and drizzle over salad.

Simply ShakespeareThe Royal Canadian
Theatre Company’s academic program is helping students aged 13 to 18 bring the Bard to life with an easy-to-understand adaptation of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Nights’ Dream.

At the end of the program, the students will present two performances: Saturday, June 12 at the Surrey Museum, and Friday, June 25, at a special Midsummer Night’s Magic Masque at the Faerie Queene’s Bower (Judy Higginbotham’s residence) 14357 26 Ave.

Robert DavidsonEagle Transforming: The
Prints of Robert Davidson will be on show at Surrey Art Gallery, 13750 88 Ave., until June 21.
The exhibition surveys the extraordinary graphic work of one of the most critical figures in Northwest Coast printmaking, who helped pioneer this form of expression amongst First Nations artists.
A member of the Order of B.C. and Order of Canada, Davidson was honoured with the 2010 Governor General’s award for artistic
achievement in the visual and media arts.
In his graphic work, Davidson uses established Haida iconography, and his art speaks to present-day personal, social and political realities.
Eagle Transforming is the first exhibition to review the artist’s work as a printmaker in almost 30 years, and features some 40 works selected from the holdings of the Vancouver Art Gallery and supplemented with generous loans from the artist.
The exhibition has been curated by Ian Thom, senior curator-historical at Vancouver Art Gallery.
Admission is by donation. Robert Davidson in
Conversation with Ian Thom will be held free Sunday, May 2 at 2 p.m.

Art, humour and humanity
Ceramic artist, Elaine Brewer-White is a lover of art, humour and humanity. She has built an extensive career as a figurative sculptor whose international clientele brings a wide-ranging focus: from family murals to young-at-hearts on classic motorcycles, to beloved pets on lounge chairs. The resulting artworks reflect Brewer-White’s skill at interpreting these cherished subjects with honour, laughter and light. Her background also includes
theatre, comedy and improv. Of her particular sense of humour, Brewer-White says: “Humour, for me, is a by-product of life – it’s a kind of subconscious view of the world. I always see a joyful moment in every situation.”
Surrey Art Gallery Association presents an illustrated talk by this entertaining artist on Thursday, June 10, 7:30 p.m. at the Surrey Art Gallery. Admission is free.
There will be time for
questions and conversation during and following the talk. The event concludes by 9 p.m. Refreshments are provided.
Surrey Art Gallery is located at 13750 88 Ave. Phone 604-501-5566 or check www.arts.surrey.ca for further information.
Ian JohnstonIan Johnston:
Transnational Absolute will be shown at Surrey Art Gallery, 13750 88 Ave., until June 21.
With his artwork, Johnston – architect turned sculptor – probes humanity’s complex relationship to the objects of modern convenience and the environment at large.
The exhibition features three artworks.
Swimming Upstream in the Comfort of: Homage to Yves Klein (2006-2009) is a large-scale ultramarine-coloured mural composed of automobile parts to resemble both the geological strata of a rock cliff and the luminous depths of the ocean.
The interactive artwork Machine for Singing (2007-2009) Surrounds the view with Song Dynasty ceramic bowls and curiously placed mechanical devices.
Tangible Shadows: Intersections (2005) includes a selection of Johnston’s drape-molded ceramics derived from the shapes of human arms, legs and other body parts.

Players ClubTickets are on sale now
for The White Rock Players Club’s next production, The Stepmother (running until June 26 at Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd.)
The 1920s-era show helps correct a historical wrong by presenting a proto-feminist play that has only recently been restored to public view after being lost for more than 80 years.
The drama, written by playwright Githa Sowerby (Rutherford and Son) received only one production by a private theatre club in London in 1924. But it was considered a lost work until a copy was found in the archives of theatre publisher Samuel French.
A powerful drama about a woman working hard to raise two stepdaughters, in spite of the unreliability and scheming ways of her husband, the piece finally received a belated professional debut at last year’s Shaw Festival, winning recognition as both a period piece and a feminist statement far ahead of its time.
The play features Chloe Traynor as Lois, the title character and Players Club past president Fred Partridge as her ne’er-do-well spouse.
Evening performances are 8 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, with a 2:30 p.m. matinee Sunday, June 20.
Tickets ($16, $14 seniors) are available from [email protected] or the theatre boxoffice, at 604-536-7535.

sports…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Nick GreenizanSports Reporter
A year after Hazelmere Golf Course’s Canadian Tour golf tournament was rebranded as the City of Surrey Invitational, the popular event has changed again.
This time, the tournament – which began in 2006 at the Greater Vancouver Charity Classic – is not a sanctioned CanTour tournament, and instead will be a three-day pro-am event which takes places not just as Hazelmere, but also its West Coast Golf Group sis-ter courses, Langley’s Belmont Golf Course and Swan-e-Set Bay Resort in Pitt Meadows.
The tournament, now called the West Coast Golf Group Invitational Pro-Am, will still
feature a handful of CanTour pros – including three of the past four Hazelmere winners – as well as a slew of Vancou-ver Golf Tour pros, and local WCGG pros and members.
“Sponsorship dol-lars just weren’t there this year,” said West Coast Golf Group president Troy Peverley, explaining why the tournament was not on the Cana-dian Tour schedule this time around.
“But we’ve still got a lot of CanTour players – (past winners) James Lepp, Mike Grobb and Adam Spiers will all be here. We’re pretty excited about it.”
American pro Lee Williams-
son, who won Greater Van-couver Charity Classic in 2006, would have also been here this week, but is instead at a U.S. Open qualifier in the United States, Peverley added.
Others in the field this week include Hazelmere pro Don Seol, and WCGG touring pro Phil Jonas. At the inau-gural Canadian Tour event at Hazelmere in ‘06, Jonas was the lone Peninsula player to make the
weekend cut, finishing 39th out of a 156-player field.
The tournament begins tomorrow (Thursday) at Bel-mont, with a 120-player pro-am, and the second round
of the pro-am goes Friday at Hazelmere, from 7 a.m. until about 1:30 p.m.
Friday is for professionals only, with the top 25 pros – according to Thursday and Friday scores – advancing to a final round at Swan-e-set. First prize is $10,000.
And though stretching the tournament over three courses this year presents a challenge for the WCGG’s maintenance crews, Peverley was excited to be able to showcase all three properties.
“That’s the whole idea,” he said. “And the courses are all in great shape. The rough isn’t quite as long as it has been (at previous CanTour events), but the greens are fast… we’re ready to go.”

If any predictions were to be made after witnessing last weekend’s B.C. Secondary Schools Track and Field
Championships, it would be this: the future for Peninsula schools is looking awfully bright.
And the present isn’t too shabby, either.Led by a strong contingent of Grade 11s
– Earl Marriott’s Katie Reid, White Rock Christian’s Sean Keane and Elgin Park’s Jake Bruchet – as well as Earl Marriott’s Grade 10 phenom Deon Clifford, Peninsula athletes found themselves on the podium plenty at the two-day event Friday and Saturday at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium.
And all can return next year for another shot at gold, too.
“There’s a lot of good, young Grade 10 boys coming up, and lots of Grade 9 girls, too, so it’s looking good. There’s a lot of depth here,” said EMS track and field coach Jim Clifford, also a member of Ocean Athletics Track and Field Club, which includes athletes from all local schools.
Though no South Surrey schools cracked the top five in the overall team standings, Earl Marriott’s girls team was fourth, while WRCA’s boys placed fifth as a group.
Reid, one of Canada’s top 400-m runners, won her signature event in 54.41 seconds
– just 1.31 seconds ahead of Semiahmoo’s Vanessa Sjoberg, who took silver. Reid also snagged a silver medal in the 200, finishing less than three-tenths of a second back of McRoberts Secondary’s Shai-Anne Davis.
Reid set personal bests in both races.
“In the (400 m) heats on Friday I ran a 54.47 which was a PB, and on
Saturday I even beat that,” Reid explained. “In the final, there were just a lot of girls right there pushing me... it was great.”
Deon Clifford – who also helped the Mariners to a junior rugby title in May – followed up his provincial performance last year with another impressive display this time around. Last year as a Grade 9 runner, Clifford won the Grade 8/9 invitational meet’s 800, 1,500 and 3,000 m races. This year, running at the much-tougher senior level, the speedy Clifford was second in the boys 3,000 m, and third in the 1,500.
WRCA’s Keane led the way in the boys 1,500 – a race which turned out to be an all-Peninsula podium finish, with WRCA teammate Blair Johnston finishing second and Clifford third.
“The race went really well – exactly according to plan. Just perfect,” Keane said. “And it’s nice for (WRCA) to get that one-two finish, too.”
Johnston, in Grade 12, added a bronze medal to his collection in the 3,000.
Keane narrowly missed another medal, finishing fourth in the 800 – just .44
seconds back of third-place Thomas Riva of Kwalikum.
Elgin Park’s Bruchet was front-and-centre at one of the meet’s most dramatic races – Saturday’s 2,000-m steeplechase.
Oak Bay’s Scott Secco took an early lead in the race – getting ahead of pre-race favourite Justin Kent of Kwantlen Park – before tumbling over a hurdle on the home stretch. With just 100 m to go to the finish line, both Kent and Bruchet moved ahead, with the Elgin Park runner taking first

place in a time of 6:05.61 – a personal best by 13 seconds.
Local squads fared well in relays, too. Earl Marriott’s girls 4x100 relay team –
Florence Clifford, Sylvie Mullen, Olivia Hornstein and Reid – was third, while the Semiahmoo Totems – made up of Lucas Ferrence, Adam Paul-Morris, Dylan Weichel and Jack Williams – won gold in the boys 4x400 event.
“It was pretty relieving to win it. We were sixth last year, and we’d been working really hard,” said Paul-Morris.
“Our grad was (Saturday night) so we had to miss some photos with our friends, stuff like that, in order to compete, but it was totally worth it.”
Other top Peninsula performances included Semi’s Declan White, who was eighth in the 800 and 1,500; Elgin’s Ryan
Sommer and Christina Juert, both fourth in their respective discus finals; and Earl Marriott’s Riley van Ryswyk, who was fifth in pole vault.
Top finishers aside, one of the weekends’ most impressive moments, at least according to Semiahmoo Totems coach Maureen de St. Croix, had nothing to do with results.
In the girls 1,500-m steeplechase, Semi’s Rachel Cho was in fifth place when a fellow competitor tripped over the final hurdle and fell hard to the ground. Rather than continue past her, Cho stopped to help her up. She settled for seventh place as a result.
“She could’ve easily kept going, nobody would have said a thing if she had, but she didn’t – it was an amazing thing to do, and we were all very proud of her,” said de St. Croix. “It was one of the best moments of the entire meet.”For full provincial results, including results from the Grade 8/9 meet, visit www.bcsscctfa.bc.ca

Elementary school students with special needs were front and centre at South Surrey Athletic Park’s track on Thursday, taking part in Bayridge Elementary’s second annual invitational track and field meet.
Competitors from Surrey schools hit the field for a number of events, including Frisbee toss, 400-metre run and the softball toss.
An obstacle course, which saw students weave through chairs and hoops – often while balancing a bean bag on their heads – was also one of the day’s most popular events.

The City of Surrey is planning for the collection of a full CURBSIDE ORGANICS COLLECTION SERVICE.
Surrey’s residents are currently diverting over 50% of their waste from landfill. Great job, Surrey! However, there’s more to be done. The City will be expanding its curbside collection program to include kitchen waste materials such as food scraps (meats, vegetables, fats, bones, etc), paper towels and tissues and other fibrous materials. By separating these mater-ials from the garbage stream, we can reach our target of 70% waste
diversion by 2015.
What kind of collection container will I need to use?
How often will my organics be collected?
Come listen to our exciting new plans for increased waste diversion, ask questions and give us your feedback.

Rick Hansen’s Wheels in Motion Wheelchair Challenge returns to the Peninsula this month.
The event is set for Saturday, June 12 at South Surrey Athletic Park, and will feature teams of able-bodied people in wheelchairs navigating through an obstacle course. The event is meant to simulate some of the daily challenges people with spinal cord injuries face every day.
Team are encouraged to sign up for the event online, at www.wheelsinmotion.org. The entrance fee of $200 per person can be raised through sponsorship; charitable receipts are available. Part proceeds go to the Wheels in Motion foundation to help fund spinal-cord research, while the rest of the money raised goes to help local people with disabilities.
Volunteers are also needed for the one-day event.
On the day of the event, registration begins at 11 a.m., with the relay at noon.
The Earl Marriott Mariners – shown above in a second-round game against Vancouver College – finished 10th at B.C. High School Boys AAA Rugby Championships, after losing its final game 36-15 to Victoria’s Saint Michael’s University School last week in Abbotsford. The Mariners were ranked fifth heading into the tournament, but were upset in the first round by the Kelowna Owls. Marriott‘s Steve Bouchard was named to the Commissioner’s XV all-star team.

Barrister & Solicitor
Answer: In 1843 when the city of Victoria was founded before the settling of the international boundary between the United States and the two British Colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia, the colonists of the two separate colonies required a more formal system of justice than was provided by the de facto government of the day, the Hudson's Bay Company.
For centuries in Britain, there was a separation between the lawyers who presented cases to Court, and those who didn't. The lawyers that conducted trials were called barristers, after the "bar" that separated the judges and lawyers from the public. All other legal functions were performed by solicitors. That name evolved from the old french term solicitor meaning "to urge". Solicitors drew all commercial documents such as contracts, conveyances, leases, and all court documents for all lawsuits.
Barristers themselves were separated into two classes, Queen's (or King's) Counsel, and Junior barristers. Becoming a Queen's Counsel was called "taking the silk" because only they could wear a silk gown. (Yes, they are called gowns, even though some macho counsel wrongly call them robes). Juniors wore "stuff" gowns made of wool.
When a client wanted to sue someone, or defend himself from a lawsuit, he went to a solicitor who prepared all court documents, conducted the examinations for discoveries, and attempted all settlements.
If a trial became necessary, the solicitor prepared a "brief" which included all documents necessary for the case to be presented. The solicitor then chose a barrister to present the case to Court. The solicitor traditionally tied a pink ribbon around the "brief" and gave it to the barrister. After reading the "brief" the barrister re-interviewed the witnesses, and conducted the trial.
In our two thinly populated colonies of the 1840's, there were neither enough cases nor enough lawyers to provide both a barrister and solicitor in every community, so there was a fusion of the two, and voila - "Barrister and Solicitor". It meant that a small community's legal needs could be met by one person.
A bit of trivia: In England barristers only address their fellow barristers by their single last name, for example, "Ginther" not "Mr. Ginther", never "Lorne" - just "Ginther". The last person to continue this practice in B.C. was Allan McEachern, the late Chief Justice of B.C.
More trivia: The horsehair wigs still worn by barristers in England, were abolished in B.C. in 1905.
Even more trivia: Lawyers and Judges wear black in court because when Queen Anne died of smallpox at the age of 32 in 1694, the whole of England was grief striken, similar to when Princess Diana died, and nearly everyone in the nation wore black. Judges and barristers still do. In the USA, judges still wear black because Queen Anne died eighty years before the Declaration of Independence, and was queen of the thirteen colonies.
Why do lawyers in British Columbiacall themselves Barristers and Solicitors?

Hogg, Kathleen BlairJuly 14, 1918 – May 29, 2010
It is with great sadness we announce the loss of our loving mother and grandmother, Kathleen Blair Hogg (nee King). Born on July 14, 1918 in Fairfax Manitoba she was raised on the extensive family farm which was awarded the distinction of being named the most beautiful farm in Manitoba.
She trained as a registered nurse in Portage La Prairie and then moved to Vancouver in the early 1940’s to nurse at Vancouver General Hospital. In 1942 she joined the Royal Canadian Air Force and was stationed at Pat Bay on Vancouver Island where she met the love of her life Dr RJ Allan Hogg. They were married on June 20, 1945 at Christ Church Cathedral in Vancouver and moved to White Rock the following year to join the community and raise their family. She was an active member of many community groups including being a founding member of the Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary, the Rotary Anns, and the Daughters of the Nile.
After raising her family she enrolled at the British Columbia Institute of Technology where she upgraded her registered nursing degree and returned to nursing in her early 60’s.
Our mother was a gracious, funny, compassionate woman who was always present for her husband, children, and grandchildren. The memories are forever.
Predeceased by her loving husband in 2005 she will be sorely missed by her children Gordon (LaVerne), Joan (Bill), Linda, John (Tracy) and her seven grandchildren James, Blair, Robert (Tania), Katy, Ali, Allan, and Jackson.
A service will be held in her honour on Tuesday June 22, 2010 @ 3:00pm at First United Church 15385 Semiahmoo Avenue, White Rock BC.
In lieu of fl owers the family asks that donations be made to the Dr Al Hogg Family Doctor Legacy Fund at the Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation 15521 Russell Avenue, White Rock BC V4B 2R4 which raises funds to develop and train family doctors to serve the community of White Rock.
The family extends their sincere thanks to the wonderful residents and staff of the Dr Al Hogg Pavilion of Peace Arch Hospital who lovingly cared for our mother in her last years.

We would like to give thanks to God for the life of Leo Evert Leivo who passed away peacefully at Peace Arch Hospital on Tuesday, 1st June 2010. He will be dearly missed by Rowena, his wife of 26 years. He also leaves to mourn his niece Grace Lynne (Gordon) and his nephew John (Marilyn). Leo was prede-ceased by his sister Carol Martin and his brother Veli Leivo. He is also survived by four great-nieces and a great nephew. Leo was born in Finland and immigrated to Hearst, Ontario in 1930 and spent much of his life working in the Forrest industry in Hinton, Alberta. He and Rowena moved to South Surrey in 1985. Leo was a man of faith who loved God. A funeral service of Thanksgiving was held on Tuesday, 8th June, 2010.Donations instead of fl owers may be sent to the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation or All Saints Community Church (P.O. Box 75068 White Rock, B.C., V4B 5L3).Rowena would like to thank neighbours and friends for their support; the nursing staff at Peace Arch Hospital for their wonderful care; Dr. Paton for his care and compassion; and Pastor Peter Klenner for his visits and support for Leo.

5 IN MEMORIAM
Brock Ryan Shannon04/20/92-07/15/07
On behalf of Kelly, Riley, Darby and myself, I would like
to express our gratitude for implementing
"The Brock Shannon Memorial Scholarship."
As most of you know our son passed away tragically in 2007
at the age of 15. These past few years have been
the most diffi cult and painful for our family.
However, during this process we've learned many things:
We learned about the bond this community has for family. And that when tragedy strikes
you provided comfort, support and understanding-
and we are so grateful!
We also learned through this tragedy how many friends
Brock had - because we had no idea.
We discovered that the virtues we spent all his life instilling -
did in fact sink in!
As the graduating class of 2010 venture out to discover
their career path - and if feelings of uncertainty,
insecurity or frustration should arise remember Brock's
favorite saying - "MAN UP
