❚MAGAZINE SURVEY

Surrey rates 146th on list of Canada’s 179 best cities

Livable Surrey? Tom ZYTARUK Not so much, according Staff Reporter to MoneySense magazine’s Best Places to Live 2010. Its fifth annual survey of 179 Canadian cities and towns with populations over 10,000 placed Surrey at 146th in terms of being the best place to live. The cities were rated based on climate, prosperity, crime rates, lifestyle, access to health care and home affordability. This year, the Canadian personal finance magazine’s survey ranked Ottawa-Gatineau as the number-one best community to live in Canada. Bay Roberts, Nfld., came in dead last at 179. In between those, Victoria was ranked eighth, Vancouver 29th, New Westminster 50th, Langley 60th, Toronto 85th and Delta 110th. White Rock did not appear on the list.

Surrey councillor and acting mayor Judy Villeneuve disagrees with the findings. “I just don’t think it’s an accurate depiction of the city today,” she said. “I think it’s way off track.” Villeneuve is filling in for Mayor Dianne Watts, who is still recuperating JUDY VILLENEUVE from her recent traffic accident. The acting mayor suggested the survey’s findings fly in the face of the city’s continued growth. “People are moving here for a reason,” Villeneuve noted. “Surrey has leapt forward.” Indeed, MoneySense suggests the opposite.

According to its survey, for 2009, Surrey ranked 119 of 154 cities surveyed — or 35 from dead last, as opposed to 33rd in comparison for this year. As for Delta’s ranking 110th, Mayor Lois Jackson was surprised. “I don’t agree,” she said, noting that Delta isn’t known as the sun god for nothing, enjoys a low crime rate, is “fairly” prosperous, and that the West Coast on a whole offers “some of the best lifestyle in the world.” “I thought it would be a lot higher,” she said of Delta’s ranking. “I’m not very happy with whoever wrote it, anyway.” Jackson is especially surprised with Delta’s ranking compared to that of its neighbouring cities, noting “they’ve got way more homeless in these other places.” tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

Memorial at ravine

❚IN BRIEF

Runner’s face slashed

A candle burns below a photo of Aaron Tyler Breaks, near a small birdhouse, Canadian flag, and bunches of yellow tulips, miniature red roses and carnations. To the right of the memorial stand the gravestones of Hazelmere pioneer cemetery. To the left, a hundred-footlong swath of destruction where the 26year-old South Surrey man’s car plowed through dense forest before plunging into a deep ravine on Saturday. Police were called to the intersection of 16th Avenue and 192nd Street in rural South Surrey at about 8 p.m., after Breaks’ brother found his body in his white Honda. His family went looking for him after he’d failed to return home from a friend’s place. Breaks was described by a family member as a quiet guy who loved fishing and the outdoors. He operated heavy equipment for a living. Surrey RCMP traffic police are having the wreck examined for mechanical defects and at press time were still trying to determine what caused the tragic crash. Police ask anyone with information to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502. —Tom Zytaruk

Brothers fined $59K

❚EDUCATION IN SURREY

Layoff notices for hundreds of teachers Hundreds of Surrey teachCarolyn COOKE ers have received layoff Staff Reporter notices as the district struggles to address a $12.3 million deficit. Denise Moffat, president of the Surrey Teachers’ Association, said 380 teachers have gotten notices — the highest number they’ve seen in a long time. “We expect the majority of those will be recalled” in the fall, she said, and the district may even end up adding one or two jobs. However, that doesn’t mean all is well in Surrey’s schools. “We had 1,400 new students this year,” she said, “and we expect another 1,300 next year.” If all the teachers who received layoff notices are recalled, and even if the district adds one or two, it still isn’t enough to replicate current services with so many new students being added to the system, she said. On top of that, the hundreds of layoff notices are part of a more extensive than usual restructuring. The board has announced some “nonenrolling” teachers — meaning counsellors, librarians, career education and learner support teachers — will be reassigned to classrooms to eliminate positions while trying to address the need for more teachers. Part of the problem is the unequal growth across the district, with a large number of new students in kindergarten, and fewer in other parts of the system. In essence, it will be a very different classroom situation for students in September. One certainty is there will be less support for students, said Moffat, in addition to having teachers working in jobs other than their specialty. Cuts are also coming for district administration, custodial, school clerical and maintenance staff positions. Other proposed money-saving changes

A Surrey man’s face was slashed with a knife as he was finishing the Vancouver Sun Run on Sunday morning. Police say the 36-yearold victim, whose name has not been released, was collecting his bags after the popular 10-kilometre run when he was slashed. The victim and alleged slasher didn’t know each other, police say. A 36year-old Vancouver man is facing charges of possession of a dangerous weapon, assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm. Meanwhile, a Surrey teenager is recovering in hospital after he and two friends were jumped by a group of youths early Sunday morning. The 17year-old was stabbed in the gut during what police said appears to have been an attempted robbery. His wound is not considered life-threatening. The stabbing happened near 152nd Street and 81st Avenue.

Two Surrey brothers have been fined $59,444 each and handed a 14month conditional serve order after pleading guilty to income tax evasion. Sohan Singh Dhesa and Nahar Singh Dhesa were sentenced in Surrey provincial court last Wednesday. A Canada Revenue Agency investigation revealed that the brothers formed a family partnership, bought two properties for development, subdivided them and then sold them to two nominees who upon investigation turned out to be themselves or their beneficiaries for more than the amount originally disclosed. The brothers then understated their taxable income by $334,565 for 2002-03, evading federal taxes of $79,392 apiece.

Group in for SFPR Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid announces $1.3 million in seismic upgrades at Hall’s Prairie Elementary school in South Surrey on Monday. The oldest portion of the school dates back to 1930 and a school has stood on this location since 1885. The seismic work will include the creation of shear walls, reinforcing existing walls, ❚PHOTO/Sharon Doucette upgrades to the roof, floor and foundations. include not bringing in replacements for child and youth care staff for short-term absences of three days or less. Moffat said Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid met with Surrey education stakeholders Monday morning for 45 minutes to hear about the myriad concerns throughout the district. MacDiarmid did say Surrey school district would get more funding next year, but did not

have any numbers to share. Moffat noted that while the ministry is holding up Surrey as the role model for funding, due to its extremely low administration costs and so on, the district is still facing a funding shortfall nearly as large as Vancouver’s, which has declining enrolment. “When you don’t hire 50 teachers when you’re growing (as a district), it’s like a cut,” said Moffat.

The South Fraser Perimeter Road project is moving forward with the Fraser Transportation Group having jumped a hurdle in the procurement process. “They are the ones who’ve moved on to the detailed negotiation stage,” said Jeff Knight, spokesman for the provincial ministry of transportation and infrastructure. The road will be a fourlane divided highway, about 40 kilometres long, along south Fraser River bank in Surrey and part of Delta to Deltaport. Construction began in 2008.

Big move to new RCMP HQ on horizon

Surrey will soon be home to the larg- Tom ZYTARUK est RCMP division headquarters in the Staff Reporter country. If all goes according to plan, some 2,700 RCMP personnel will move into the new headquarters, located at 14200 Green Timbers Way, in 2013. It’s being touted as the “largest move-coordination effort” in the RCMP’s history. A groundbreaking ceremony, attended by a few hundred cops, politicians and onlookers, was held Friday to mark the beginning of construction of the headquarters, which will replace the RCMP’s aged digs on Heather Street in Vancouver. The Surrey headquarters, at 76,162 square metres, will occupy 14.8 hectares and will be a multiple-building complex featuring a seven-storey office building. The $966 million project is expectRCMP ASS. COMM. PETER GERMAN ed to create about 900 construction jobs. “This has been a day 20 years in the making,” B.C.

Assistant RCMP Commissioner Peter German, district commander of the Lower Mainland district, said the ceremony marked “a wonderful day for the RCMP.” “This is a momentous day in the history of the RCMP and “E” Division,” he said.

The girl was assaulted in her home, in the 10300block of 149th Street, during the wee hours of April 23rd. Police had described her attacker as a white man in his 30s, of average height and medium build. The girl was reportedly stabbed in the arm with a knife, but police would not confirm this. —Tom Zytaruk

Delta opts out of LRB; union applauds move Delta is joining a Sandor GYARMATI Now Contributor growing list of municipalities opting to leave Metro Vancouver’s labour relations function. Mayor Lois Jackson announced at Delta council’s meeting last week that late last month the municipality served 24 months notice to the regional district of its intention to withdraw from the Labour Relations Bureau, which provides services to member municipalities as well as Metro Vancouver. Established in the mid-1960s, the department is supposed to provide a united front for municipalities when negotiating labour contracts with their

unions. Noting Burnaby and Vancouver have also given notice, while Richmond is already out and Surrey was never a member, Jackson said the LRB served a useful role in collective bargaining matters. However, problems surfaced in the last round of bargaining with Delta’s civic employees, she said. “The idea of becoming part of this function is the ability to achieve consensus between the different member municipalities to prevent whip-sawing and to prevent escalating costs. The price of this consensus is that there’s a loss of independence for the corporation (of Delta) to deal with local labour

relations issues,” said Jackson, also chair of the Metro board of directors. “Delta has worked hard, its staff and council have worked hard, to achieve a harmonious relationship with all of our unions and a certain amount of autonomy is important to maintain this relationship,” she said. CUPE Local 454 president Josh Turner sees Delta’s decision to withdraw as a positive move. “What’s happened over the years is the GVRD, now Metro Vancouver, has become an entity in its own, and frustrating to our side, and obviously to the employers, is the GVRD holds a veto vote. Delta and CUPE can come to an

agreement and the GVRD has the final say on it,” he said. Having autonomy will enable Delta to deal with specific local issues, said Turner. In the last round of talks between Delta and its unionized employees in 2007, former CUPE Local 454 president Darryl Robison said Delta’s hands were being tied by the mandate given to them by the regional district. The current contract expires at the end of next year, which means the union will still have to deal with the Metro Vancouver department in the next round of bargaining, Turner added.

❚ NEWS ❚CRASH-SCENE INVESTIGATION

‘Alexa’s Bus’ movement starts at Morgan Creek A mobile blood-alcohol laboratory could help save lives on B.C. streets, according to a group pushing to have such a unit named in honour of Alexa Middelaer. The Ladner girl, 4, was killed by an alleged impaired driver two years ago. This Friday evening, her family and friends are hosting a meeting at Morgan Creek Golf Club to unveil their plans for “Alexa’s Bus,” a vehicle that would be dedicated to gathering evidence at crash sites where alcohol has been a factor. The unit would employ specially-trained

officers at such accident scenes. “It’s very difficult work,” said Steve Barrett, an organizer of the May 14 event. “In B.C., we have no specialized vehicle (and) officers to be equipped to investigate those accident scenes.” Such mobile labs exist in parts of the U.S., Barrett told the Now. Friday’s event in South Surrey is designed to raise awareness about the concept, and also raise funds to get the idea off the ground, he said. Those who plan to attend the event are asked to register in advance by

emailing alexaslegacy@yahoo.ca. Two weeks ago, Solicitor General Mike de Jong announced proposed changes to the province’s impaired driving laws. If passed, they will make B.C.’s penalties for impaired driving the most severe in the country. In memory of Alexa Middelaer, de Jong announced a new provincial goal: to reduce alcohol-impaired driving fatalities by 35 per cent by the end of 2013. Under the proposed changes, drivers who have a blood alcohol level of more

than 0.08 per cent, or those who refuse to provide a roadside breath sample, will face an immediate 90-day driving ban and a $500 fine. As well, the offender’s vehicle will be impounded for 30 days and they could face criminal charges. Alexa’s parents, Laurel and Michael Middelaer, were on hand as de Jong announced the stiffer penalties for impaired driving. The couple has worked tirelessly to bring awareness to the issue and amend the province’s drunk-driving legislation since losing their daughter in May 2008.

Turner new super of Delta school board

The Delta school board has hired from within for its new superintendent. The board announced last week that assistant superintendent Dianne Turner has been promoted. “In keeping with the district’s vision and ‘The Schools We Want,’ we are extremely pleased to have the passion, vision and exemplary leadership Dianne has demonstrated in her role as assistant superintendent, expanded to the role of district superintendent,” said board chair Dale Saip. The former principal in the Vancouver school system joined Delta two years ago. Garnet Ayres had been the acting superintendent since late last year after Steve Cardwell left to become superintendent for the Vancouver school district.

death of six-term councillor George Hawksworth in March. Council is expected to set a date for the byelection later this month. It’s anticipated it won’t be

held until September. Bishop lists the development proposal for the Southlands in Tsawwassen as her number-one issue. “There is no doubt, the single most important

issue in South Delta is the proposed development of the Southlands. The loss of farmland, traffic congestion and impact on Delta’s infrastructure are top concerns.”

Bishop currently runs her own small business and writes an opinion column for the Delta Optimist. She is also organizing canvassers for the Fight HST campaign.

The average Delta homeowner will pay an additional $84 in property taxes this year. Delta council unanimously gave final approval last week to a 3.98 per cent increase. The overall hit for homeowners has recently become clear after the other taxing authorities that have their share collected by Delta, including TransLink, announced their rates. Finance director Karl Preuss noted the average assessment for residential properties in Delta has gone down slightly from last year, to $488,000, which means the average hike, once all taxing authorities take their share, is $84. Delta’s share is $74. One per cent of the tax increase will be directed to fund major capital projects that also received senior government funding. —Delta Optimist

Special prosecutor system is not broken A lot has been said and written about the train wreck that has become the Kash Heed affair, but some of the most misplaced comments have had to do with our unique process of investigating cases of alleged Keith criminal activity that come BALDREY near our political system. For the past 20 years or so, B.C. has used a “special prosecutor” system to ensure there is no perception of political favouritism when it comes to deciding whether a politician — or someone close to a politician — is to be charged with any offence. It has worked rather effectively since its inception. It failed spectacularly in the Heed case, but only because of a wrong-headed decision by the man appointed to be the special prosecutor. (Lawyer Terence Robertson failed to disclose that his law firm had made a financial contribution to Heed’s election campaign, a clear-as-day conflict of interest.) But the ongoing fallout over the affair has raised some important questions and may lead to some necessary “tweaking” of the system (as Attorney General Mike de Jong has characterized the situation). However, whatever changes occur should not trample on the core principle of the system: namely that the attorney general does not exert control or even influence on any special prosecutor. Some NDP MLAs have suggested that in the Heed case, the government should have checked out Robertson early on and informed

the criminal justice branch (which actually is in charge of appointing special prosecutors) of his apparent conflict and had him removed. This is nonsense. To take such action would be to directly inject the politicians into the nonpartisan, objective decision-making process that governs how politicians are dealt with in the court system. The head of the criminal justice branch, Bob Gillen, takes no direction from his political masters on such matters, and rightly so. He consults with the Law Society of B.C. on special prosecutor appointments, not with elected officials such as the attorney general or anyone else in cabinet. Still, the Heed episode has exposed a potential flaw in the system. Should lawyers who make financial donations (or whose firms make such donations) to any political party be allowed to be appointed special prosecutors? This hasn’t really been a problem in the past, but then again no one has raised it as an issue before. To say there is an automatic conflict over a party donation is a bit tenuous, but the issue does need addressing. Another issue that has arisen is the length of time some special prosecutors take to make either a decision when it comes to laying charges, or actually prosecuting the case at hand. Two glaring examples of this kind of delayed justice stick out like sore thumbs. Liberal MLA John Les has been in political limbo for two years now, forced to resign from cabinet after it was revealed he was being investigated over land deals in his home town of Chilliwack. That is an unacceptably long time to essen-

tially leave a public figure twisting in the wind, unsure of his personal future. Surely a special prosecutor can work quicker than that. The second case of delayed justice is the trial stemming from the raid on the B.C. legislature back in 2003. This has seen three young political aides having to put their lives and careers on hold, as the special prosecutor has from time to time failed to make timely disclosure of evidence to the defence. So if changes are indeed made to the special prosecutor system, who initiates them? It can’t be the attorney general or the provincial cabinet that drives the bus here. Either the criminal justice branch itself implements new guidelines, or perhaps it is time have a review of the system conducted by an independent party. Perhaps a legal authority from outside the province, with no ties to any political party, could be asked to conduct the review. Or the man whose recommendations led to the creation of the system in the first place could be asked to step in. That would be former provincial Ombudsman Stephen Owen. The fact he is also a former federal Liberal MP may taint him in the eyes of some, but I think he’d be a credible choice. In any case, the special prosecutor system is not broken, not by a long shot. But it may need that tweaking to ensure its credibility survives in the long run. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C. KBaldrey@globaltv.com

K. CRAWFORD/ “We over here at the western side of Fraser Heights have been totally abandoned.” get to Port Mann Bridge. Why should we, who live right there, be denied the same access? The developers seem to feel we should be happy with the little input they allowed us. Gee, thanks for letting us choose which vegetation you will plant to beautify the freeway. I couldn’t give a flying fig about that; give me some real choice. With one entry left in Fraser Heights, at 160th Street, to Highway 1, just wait and see what problems with congestion we will have. It should be interesting as traffic snarls in front of the high school — an already crazy-busy place with children being dropped off. But I have been told it will be just “frustrating” by our MLA. We over here at the western side of Fraser Heights have been totally abandoned. Anyone want to buy my home? Poor freeway access, bad air quality (the new roads to the bridge will be widened to come that much closer to my home) and bus service — oh yeah, what service? What form of compensation does the government plan on giving us for this change? I better not hold my breath on this one.

Ready for an old-fashioned showdown over the HST The Editor, Re: “Rules stacked against antiHST camp,” Keith Baldrey’s “In the House” column, May 4. I find Keith Baldrey’s latest column doesn’t quite ring true. First of all, I bet he’s amazed (along with a lot of others) that this petition has even got this far, following his earlier pieces. Second, there is historical precedence of the HST being repealed. The Saskatchewan government in the mid-1990s repealed the HST after the incumbent government was tossed out and a new one elected over this very issue. So, for Baldrey to write that it is “unlikely” the NDP would repeal the tax if elected in 2013 seems funny — especially if that were the reason for their election win. Third, “Recall in the Fall” is a distinct possibility. Does Baldrey really think the signatures of 40 per cent of the registered voters in certain ridings is insurmountable? This is in light of now more than 5,000 anti-HST canvassers, and still growing! So, as this situation plays out (and presuming all of his other reasons for petition failure are correct), it looks as if it could be a good old-fashioned showdown. Oh, the one thing I do agree with is Baldrey’s final words: “The B.C. Liberals may yet pay a hefty political price for ignoring the public when it comes to HST.”

Gulf of Mexico oil spill puts B.C. biofuels in a good light The Editor, The massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico puts our American neighbours in a serious bind. On the one hand, a growing number of Americans are calling

on President Obama to reinstate a recently lifted ban on offshore drilling which would effectively cut the U.S. off from new supplies of domestic oil. At the same time, a growing movement (lead in large part by Iraq war veterans) is calling for the U.S. to end its dependence on foreign oil imports, and they’re pushing the American Congress to pass new clean energy legislation. Considering the heavy reliance the U.S. economy has on fossil fuels like oil and coal, it really is quite a predicament: no more foreign oil and no new domestic oil. And no more burning coal either. So basically, our American neighbours are sitting between a rock and a hard place. But America’s energy bind is B.C.’s opportunity. They need us, and our wealth of renewable energy resources, more now than they ever have before. We’re the silver lining to America’s fossil fuel cloud. Not only do B.C.’s renewable water and wind resources give us a considerable ability to generate clean electricity, we also have a considerable capacity for producing clean-burning biofuels from the renewable cellulose materials produced in abundance by our forests. Renewable biofuels are exactly what our American neighbours are going to be looking for as they seek a strategic, environmentally-sound replacement for their precarious, non-renewable oil supplies. Biofuels add a promising new dimension to B.C.’s growing clean-energy sector and they’re the perfect complement to our many other renewable green energy resources. In a very real way, America’s fossil fuel predicament, and its clean energy needs, are an economic silver lining for B.C. And, for a change, we’re the ones sitting in the driver’s seat.

They would not listen to anyone; their decision had already been made. This meeting was a farce.

The Editor, Neglected and abandoned — that’s how I feel. We have been residents of Fraser Heights since 1985. So much development has occurred in that time, and the access roads in and out of this area have not kept up. Last year, we got a new entry at 156th Street, which was greatly appreciated for those of us who were sometimes held prisoner of the freeway traffic going to Port Mann Bridge — somewhat late in the game, but we had some improvement. Now the “good” news: The powers that be at the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure have informed us through the media that our 152nd Street/ Highway 1 traffic pattern will undergo some permanent changes. The interchange at 110th Avenue at 152nd Street will be permanently closed to all traffic heading to the Port Mann. This is supposed to make us happy because residents have become weary of the “rat runners jumping the queue” through our neighbourhood trying to beat the highway traffic to the bridge. Who got to decide for me that this was indeed good for us? For my daily commute, this closure will mean an added 15 minutes per day, each way! I already get up for work at 4:45 a.m. The extra gas I will burn is no small matter, either. Our MLA, Dave Hayer, suggested I take the bus. Yeah, right. The first bus is around 6 a.m., which would not get me to work on time. They have also moved the bus a half kilometre further east from its original location. According to Ken Zondervan of the Surrey engineering department, we’ll just have to adjust to the new traffic patterns. He says it’s just different. I’ll say. Very recently, I had the opportunity to talk to a few of my neighbours who had no idea of the closure coming to our neck of the woods. They were very shocked indeed, and we have a feeling of powerlessness to change the closures. A paramedic I spoke to said a member from the ambu-

April was a strong month for new home construction in the Metro Vancouver area, thanks to action happening in Surrey. Concrete was poured for 1,260 residential units in the region, according to to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). Starts for single-detached residential units stayed strong — 35 per cent of total starts — most of which were in Surrey. Condo apartment starts totalled 525 units and were primarily in Surrey, Vancouver and North Vancouver.

“This year, we are seeing an increase in rental units, some of which are laneway housing,” noted Robyn Adamache, senior market analyst at CMHC. For the year so far, rental units as a share of new housing starts in the Vancouver CMA are about 9.3 per cent, compared to just 3.3 per cent a year ago. Most of the 415 new rental construction projects are traditional multiple-unit rental buildings and about 35 are laneway housing. The majority of these laneway housing units are located in Vancouver.

“We do expect the rental market to improve this year. Given the aging stock of rental units in the CMA, the increase in new rental housing projects is timely,” Adamache said. In the Abbotsford CMA, 55 homes were started during April, compared to 65 starts 12 months ago. Provincial home starts in urban areas rose to 25,600 units, seasonally adjusted at annual rates (SAAR) in April, from 22,000 in March. At the national level, total housing starts reached 201,700 units SAAR in April from 199,200 units a month prior.

Surrey-raised Jeff Donnelly is always trying new things in his businesses, from live music and pinball machines, to karaoke and shows by international DJs. “A lot of people don’t get the opportunity to do something they love,” he said. ❚PHOTO/Ian Lindsay

ing a gunfight there in 2003 that left three dead. “I never wanted to get involved in nightclubs again after Loft Six,” recalls Donnelly. “We didn’t have to close the club. But we closed the club because people had been killed in our club. It was a horrible experience.” At the time, Donnelly says, gangs were running rampant downtown and he was one of a handful of proprietors — he says it’s because he was young and naive — who overestimated the effectiveness of their security measures. “So when I decided to get back involved in nightclubs, with Bar None, not only was I going to get back involved but I wanted to be a leading influence in Barwatch. Because our city wasn’t safe.” Barwatch is a joint venture between bar owners and police to target, as Donnelly calls them, the “bad apples.” Among its initiatives are ID scanners run by front-door staff and an agreement signed by all proprietors that “police could walk into any one of our bars at any

time and ask anyone associated with a gang to leave.” “Unprecedented,” says Donnelly, now a director of Barwatch. “It took the legal department of the police force six months to do it. And the privacy issues with the (scanners) — I spent more hours on that than running my businesses for months. But the fact of the matter is there hasn’t been a shooting in downtown Vancouver, knock on wood, in 18 months. We’re as proud of that as we are of the Donnelly Fund. It’s changed our city.” The Donnelly Fund, which is run by his mother Pattie, is the charity arm of DHM. Its impact may be most noticeable at the Met pub, which is located a half block from one of the city’s most notorious corners, Abbott Street at Hastings. “The Met itself donates 25 per cent of its profits to the Downtown Eastside,” reveals Donnelly. “No other place does that. It’s really important to us.”

That’s the spirit Performers and artists are needed for this year’s Spirit of the Sea Festival, which happens in White Rock from July 30 to Aug. 2. The festival is presented by the Community of Lights Events Society, which welcomes applications for the dates of July 31 and Aug. 1. The Spirit of the Sea Festival “strives to present a wide diversity of stellar artists and musical genres and welcomes all artists and ages interested in being considered.” The application deadline is June 4. EPKs should be emailed to entertainment@spiritofthesea.ca. For more details, visit www. spiritofthesea.ca.

Given that his latest venHans ONGSANSOY ture is named Cinema, it’s Canwest News Service only fitting that Jeff Donnelly is ready for his close-up. Cinema, a 150-seat lounge at 901 Granville St. in Vancouver, represents the third establishment on the 900-block of the downtown drag for this Langley-born, Surrey-raised nightlife mogul, along with cocktail house the Granville Room and nightclub Republic. Also under the umbrella of Donnelly’s company, Donnelly Hospitality Management (DHM), reside three more clubs and seven other pubs. Add them up and that’s an impressive 13 businesses that are, more often than not, on the itineraries of discerning locals out on the town and looking for a good time. As DHM founder and president, Donnelly oversees them all. Born in 1974, he celebrates his 36th birthday in June. Say what? “Growing up, I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I don’t think a lot of people do,” said Donnelly, over beers at Cinema. “I was lucky to fall into this.” The 13 Vancouver-area bars under his control include Bar None, Republic, The Modern, Pop Opera, Bimini’s, The Calling, The Lamplighter, The Metropole, Library Square, Smiley’s, The Academic, Cinema and The Granville Room. Dressed down in a T-shirt and jeans, Donnelly says it’s well-known that his father, Brian Donnelly, a former B.C. Lion, owned a series of blue-collar hotels. One summer Jeff got involved running some of their bars. Then, while attending UVic, he got the chance to manage some bars in Victoria. “I didn’t know I was going to enjoy it as much as I did,” said Donnelly. “But, I mean, I enjoyed going to bars so I thought I’d enjoy running bars. I started managing this cougar nightclub called Bourbon Street. I was the youngest guy in there by 20 years. And we sold the most Labatt Blue in Canada, so that’s why I’m drinking Labatt Blue — I’m still stuck on it. “One day, I told my mom that I was going to move back to Vancouver, I was going to own my own pub and I was going to go from there. I think I was 20 years old. And, yeah, she still talks about that, so I guess I was lucky. A lot of people don’t get the opportunity to do something they love.” Donnelly’s first pub was Bimini’s in Kitsilano, which he opened in 1999. Expansion since then has — obviously — been accelerated. And the growth has not gone unnoticed, neither by nightlife types nor by the business community. In 2008, Donnelly made Business in Vancouver’s “Top Forty Under 40” list, a roster of movers and shakers who have yet to hit their big 4-0. Last year, he was a finalist for BCBusiness’s Entrepreneur of the Year Award. It’s quite the turnaround from what is easily the low point of Donnelly’s roller-coaster career. That would be the failed Loft Six nightclub in Gastown, which Donnelly chose to close follow-

Those moneys are divided among four principals: the food bank, the Salvation Army, the Gastown Business Improvement Association and Gallery Gachet, a gallery that showcases the work of artists who come from less fortunate circumstances. On May 19, the Donnellys will partner with Gallery Gachet to hold an art show and auction at the Met. Despite efforts like these, Donnelly still attracts the odd critic. Addressing those who may be offended because they feel he is leading the gentrification of a neighbourhood like, say, Gastown, he is matter-of-fact. “When we opened the Met, I think people were like, ‘Oh s--t, they took over another good bar and they’re going to turn it into some slick, whatever they’re going to do.’ We didn’t, not at all. As a matter of fact, we maintained everything that was at the Met and tried as hard as we could to make people realize this place was their place and it’s in their neighbourhood and it’s always been in their neighbourhood,” Donnelly said. “It’s cheaper drinks, cheaper cover, but it’s still got good atmosphere. I’m telling you, if you wanna go play shuffleboard, there’s no better place.” As for established proprietors who were

angling for Donnelly’s clientele long before he was, thereby representing another potential set of critics, Donnelly says, in fact, the opposite is true. “I think everybody’s trying to progress this city. I really do. And that’s my goal,” he says, adding that the Winter Olympics were a great step in the right direction. “We’re trying things all the time, man. Whether live music, a cool karaoke night, bringing in international DJs or promoting local talent — whatever it is, we’re trying it. All the time.” The motivation, which he shares with his brother Matt, who works for the company as the operating manager at The Calling, is to ditch the perception that “Vancouver nightlife sucks,” once and for all. “That’s trendy to say. I can’t stand it,” he said. “This is my town. And I guess (cool places to go) are important in the same way it’s important that the Canucks win the Stanley Cup. When we win a hockey game over (another team), for some reason you feel you’re better than a fan (of that team). But you didn’t win that hockey game. “When people talk about our city, this is us, this is who we are, this is where we grew up, and for whatever reason we have a loyalty to it and you want it to be the best.”

❚ LIVING ❚TRAVEL: Ottawa

Behind doors in Canada’s capital Apart from the obligatory peek into the House of Commons chamber and the Senate (resplendent in red, emblematic of royalty), the one building that is an absolute must for any visitor is the Library of Parliament. The elegant interior evokes hushed exclamations of awe; deep blue interior walls soar upward to the dome, and intricately carved pale pine wood bookcases, containing half a million reference books, encircle the central reading area. The coats of arms for the seven provinces that existed in 1876, and one for the Dominion of Canada, adorn the façade of the bookshelves, and a large marble statue of the young Queen Victoria stands at the entrance. Next stop, Ottawa’s Bytown Museum situated by the side of the Rideau Canal. The museum pays tribute to Col. John By, whose mission was to construct a 202kilometre waterway to facilitate military manoeuvres between Upper and Lower Canada, in the event of a hostile blockade of the St. Lawrence Seaway by the Americans. That By did so within the space of six years is a measure of his tenacity against formidable odds — clearing thickly forested and swampy marshland and coping with the loss of hundreds of

I felt right at home Margaret DEEFHOLTS in Ottawa. It rained Now contributor almost the entire week I was there — typical B.C. autumn weather. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Driven off the street by blustery winds and monotonous drizzle, I discovered that, like prying open an oyster shell, there were pearls to be discovered in Ottawa’s indoor attractions, including museums with a richness of treasures, art galleries, bookshops, antique stores and restaurants. Where better to start an indoor exploration of Canada’s capital city, than along the corridors of power in the Centre Block of the buildings on Parliament Hill. The vaulted ceilings in the Great Hall soar overhead, their arches pinned by “brooches” of keystone coils. Solemn portraits of former prime ministers and House speakers line the corridors, and the view from the Peace Tower is spectacular: the Ottawa River on one side, the Rideau Canal on the other and the twin cities of Ottawa and Gatineau sprawling to the horizon. The 302-foot tower itself is something of a curiosity, as its elevator is inclined at a ninedegree angle — which you wouldn’t notice except that the elevator operator makes a point of mentioning it.

his construction crew to malaria and dysentery as a result of unsanitary conditions. A budget overrun resulted in the colonel’s recall to Britain to face a censorious cabinet accusing him of financial mismanagement. He died four years later battered in body, mind and spirit, and the bitter fact that his remarkable engineering feat was never accorded the recognition it deserved. Little did he know that his name would endure in the annals of Canadian history as the founding father of the brawl-

ing little settlement of Bytown, later renamed Ottawa. The War Museum focuses on the human aspect of war — tales of heroism in the face of almost certain death, the muck of the trenches, the lice infestations, the drudgery, the fatigue, the sheer plodding determination, the terror and the glory of battle. It is impossible not to be deeply moved listening on head phones to real-life accounts and watching footage of the Boer War, the Korean conflict and, of course, the two Great Wars of the 20th century. All too vivid are the horrors of gas warfare, the debacle

at Gallipoli and photos of the anxious faces of wives and mothers at home, and a touching shot of a child running to say farewell to his dad as he marches off with his regiment. There are scenes of joyous homecoming and plaques displaying the words of both “Flanders Fields” and “High Flight.” The bleakness of the outdoors is easily forgotten once inside the Canadian Museum of Civilization. Apart from several special exhibits, the Canadian section encompasses a journey through Canada from the Maritimes to the West Coast, with

Motorcycling on the edge of the world Endless Terry PETERS Canwest News Service Horizon, by Dan Walsh, Motorbooks, 375 pages, $34.99. The romantic vision of the solo adventurer travelling around the globe is turned upside down by the gritty two-wheeled collision course Dan Walsh takes. With Endless Horizon, the longtime contributing writer to the British motorcycle press has gathered various columns and dispatches from several journeys

and strung them together into this world adventure diary. Walsh begins with a trip from London to South Africa on a beat up XT600 dirt bike. Then there is a North American tour on a BMW F650 GS and keeping the same bike he next invades Central and South America. Along the way there are plenty of adventures both on the road and off. With no satellite phone to call for help, no money in the bank, no support crew in sight, he relies on a willing-

ness to experience each country in its raw texture and brazenly plunges into every scenario he encounters. By intention or accident, Walsh manages to peel back the layers of civilization wherever he goes, and finds himself blinking into the harsh light of a hangover morning. But his ability to go beyond normal restrictions is what makes his tales such great reading. Whether facing the vastness of a pristine landscape or the harsh realities of a Bolivian

armed roadblock, he describes it all in his sparse words but communicates exactly what he is feeling. Walsh goes far beyond just writing an account of his motorcycle riding experiences. He delves into the history and politics of the country he’s in and brings into it the perspective of the local people. This is travel on the edge, filled with highs and lows, all captured with Walsh’s sharp cynicism and wit that makes for an exciting read from cover to cover.

Loaded with diagrams and step-by-step instructions, every section of Time-saving Gardener provides valuable information for both the novice and experienced gardener, such as tips on lawn care, plant propagation and kitchen gardens.

Grand Re-Opening of Pan Pacific Nissan Last Thursday May 6th Pan Pacific Nissan had their Grand Re-Opening. It was an Event steeped in Japanese Tradition. There were Ice Sculptures, drumming and sake. After ten months, hundreds of thousands of dollars and many thousands of hours of work, the renovation of the Pan Pacific building has been completed. “Just to look around our new premises has made the wait and difficult working conditions worthwhile.” stated General Manager Kristen Binkley. “I have to salute my staff and customers for working in less than perfect conditions while the renovations were being completed. We worked out of trailers for 10 months and my staff stepped up to the challenge. An addition was added and most areas of the interior were completely remodelled. Now we have this beautiful new building to work in and everyone at Pan Pacific Nissan is excited to show off our Award winning Nissan line-up and beautiful showroom,” said Kristen. One of the strengths at Pan Pacific Nissan is their multi-cultural staff. “Most languages are spoken which makes it easy for all residents of Surrey to buy a vehicle here. We do our very best to make our customers feel welcome and understood,” said Kristen. “It is a big decision to buy a car and we work very hard to make the process as easy and comfortable as possible.”

Phil Reimer’s

golf report

It looked like a NASCAR race at the Players Championship at Ponte Vedra Beach over the weekend, as one by one golfers crashed on the final day. With the baked greens you almost had to be a magician to hold the ball on the green. Tim Clark proved he had those magical qualities, shooting a 67 on the final day to win his first tournament on the PGA Tour. He was only one of two players shooting a round in the sixties on the final day — the other was Davis Love. Clark’s outstanding play was in stark contrast to that of Lee Westwood, who was leading going into the final round but found bogey trouble on 14 and then it was into the water at the infamous 17th hole. For Westwood, this was an opportunity to prove he could close it out after his second-place finish at the Masters. But it was not to be. In the end, Clark was on the range keeping loose, not waiting to see how Westwood finished but rather watching Robert Allenby. Allenby needed a birdie on the final hole to force a playoff. Although Clark shot a brilliant 67 on Sunday you have to look at Saturday’s 66, when he gave himself the chance to be there on Sunday. In fact, the comeback on the weekend was the largest margin ever for this tournament. This comment to reporters gives you an idea of how he views this game after playing in 204 tournaments to get his first PGA win: “A part of me is a bit disappointed because now no one is going to talk about me anymore. At least you had something to write about before. Now I’m just another guy with a win.” No talking about how he played, how brilliant he was with the putter, as others might after their first win on the tour — just a piece of humour after admitting it was a case of survival on the back nine.

❚ SPORTS ❚GYMNASTICS

Great start to May for local girls, boys

The Surrey Gymnastics Society (SGS) brought in the medals in the first weekend of May. Three SGS members joined Team BC to compete in the Western Canada Gymnastics Championships in Regina, which ran from April 29 to May 2. In the High Performance Argo category, Nicolas Apostol, 11, from Riverdale Elementary, placed fourth all-around and won a bronze medal on vault. He also placed fourth on the pommel horse and fifth on both parallel bars and high bar. Kwantlen Park Secondary student Vladimir Djuric, 15, placed 10th all-around in the National Youth category. He was fourth on floor and fifth on parallel bars. Khalil Dhanji, 13, of Johnston Heights Secondary, placed fifth all-around in the Level 4 category. He also won the silver medal on high bar, bronze on pommel

Woods indicated earlier this season that he had some neck problems. Now he says it may be a bulging disc or it could have been from that middle-of-the-night SUV crash that sent the number one player into rehab. I was off last week and missed out on Rory McIlroy’s win on the PGA Tour. At only 21, the likes of Johnny Miller, Jack Nicklaus and a lot of other top golers have been raving about this young Irishman for the past year and he has lived up to that praise. I love his line when asked what he was going to do with the cheque: “Buy trees.” Apparently he is building a practice facility at home in Northern Ireland and is ringing it with trees. He asked reporters, “Do you know how much trees cost?” He’s a 21-year-old with his feet solidly on the ground. You can reach me at preimer@canwest.com

second all-around and earned gold on floor and silver on bars. Shanya Dhindsa, 11, of Surrey, won the bronze all-around medal. She also took silver on bars and floor. Teammate, Marina Szabo, 12, placed fourth all-around with gold medal performances on vault and beam to go with her fifth on bars. In the Tyro Level 1 category at the Zone 3 Championships, Luci Kask, 12, of Surrey, won the gold all-around medal, adding four medals to her haul (gold on vault, silver on floor and bronze on bars and beam). Teammate Sarah Noble, 12, won the silver all-around medal. She also received gold on bars, bronze on beam, fourth on vault and fifth on floor. Completing the podium sweep, Nicaela Little, 12, won the bronze all-around medal. She received gold on floor and silver on beam.

The 34-year-old South African not only won his first tournament, he also won the richest on the tour with a cheque for $1.71 million. It is starting to appear that the PGA is going to have to go forward this year without much from Tiger Woods. With his fourth-place finish in The Masters the general feeling was that even though his personal life was unraveling, he still had the touch. Then he missed the cut at Quail Hollow and had neck problems at The Players this past weekend — causing his withdrawal from the tournament. Who knows where he goes from here. Reporters who watched him practise earlier in the week reported that his shots were far from Tiger-like.

horse and fifth on parallel bars. The same weekend the boys were competing in Regina, the girls were busy collecting medals in the Zone 3 Championships, hosted by Club Aviva in Coquitlam. The SGS girls in the Novice category swept the podium. Madison Principe, 12, of Surrey, took home the gold all-around medal and all four event gold medals. In the same category, Surrey resident Jessica Woods, 12, came in second all-around. Emily Carroll, 12, of Surrey, placed third all-around, winning silver on vault, bronze on bars and fifth on both beam and floor. Langley resident, RayAnne Quinn, 12, was crowned all-around champion, winning gold on bars, fourth on beam and fifth on floor. Teammate Ashley Omidi, 11, of Surrey, placed

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
