McKay and Dudley.
Fifty-two-year-old Jack Douglas Woodruff made his second court appearance Monday via video in connection with the 2008 double murder of Lisa Dudley and Guthrie McKay. Woodruff was remanded until his next appearance on May 26. Woodruff, a Surrey resident, was charged last week with two counts of first-degree murder after a 31-month
investigation by the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT). Dudley’s family was in an Abbotsford courtroom Friday and got a glimpse of the man accused of killing their daughter. “We didn’t know the person at all,” said Dudley’s stepfather, Mark Surakka, explaining the family went through a range of emotions – pleased for the arrest and charges, but also shocked and saddened because the
ordeal resurrected the past. Surakka told Black Press he would still like a coroner’s inquest, but for now, he and his family are preparing for the court process, which they know can take a few years to conclude. IHIT spokesman Dale Carr said last week he could reveal few details about the case, including how Woodruff knew the couple. He did say investigators believe the murder was targeted. Dudley, 37, and her boyfriend
McKay, 33, were found by a neighbour on Sept. 22, 2008 at a rural home in Mission, four days after a 911 call was received that six shots had been fired. McKay was pronounced dead on the scene. Dudley was in severe medical distress and died en route to hospital. Cpl. Mike White was reprimanded in March after an RCMP disciplinary hearing determined he failed to properly investigate the shots-fired call. He left the scene after waiting 10 minutes.
Towers supported
Miramar clears hurdle Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Bosa Properties has cleared one more hurdle in the path towards completing the final phase of its four-tower project in White Rock’s town centre. Members of the city’s land use and planning committee – comprised of all those on council – voted unanimously Monday to recommend council approve an amended development permit for the project, subject to adoption of a bylaw that would amend the project’s zoning to accommodate changes including an increase in the number of residential units. In explaining staff support for the permit, the city’s director of planning and development services, Paul Stanton, said the applicants “have made a solid effort” to respond to recommendations from advisory design panel members. The recommendations included retention of commercial space and suggestions to address wind-tunnel concerns, as well as a request to retain the ship-like appearance of the tower closest to the corner of Thrift Avenue and Johnston Road. Views between the two towers see page A4

Because of their age, and despite the fact many are in good health and likely to live for several more years, they are often overlooked in favour of kittens by families looking to adopt a pet.

When Joey came into Bruce and Gwladys Timmons’ life last summer, it’s fair to say he had some reservations. And who could blame him, really? For the longest time, nobody had wanted him, and the situation took its toll, reducing the senior to a skinny, matted and skittish being, reluctant to let anyone get close. Eight months later and well settled into
the Timmons’ White Rock home, Joey is a changed cat. “At first, he wouldn’t come near us and he wouldn’t let us pick him up,” Gwladys said of the black-and-white, long-haired feline. Now, “he comes and sits on my chest at night when I’m laying on the couch.” “He’s turned into a really lovely cat.” The Timmons were matched with Joey through a South Surrey/White Rock-based program that aims to find homes for older

Lane gets name at last the street to the south or west of it, city manager Peggy Clark explained at the time. Friday’s unveiling has been “seven years in the making, at least,” Ferguson told the small crowd of city staff, councillors and neighbours who turned out. “Today, we’re giving you Victoria Lane,” she said. Plumptree and Coun. Lynne Sinclair, who also lives on the lane, attributed the delay in part to a lack of interest in the task by previous management. Noting the lane is many residents’ primary access to their homes, Sinclair said naming it “adds to the history and quaintness” of White Rock.
Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
After years of directing friends and delivery drivers up four flights of stairs to his home a half-block north of Victoria Avenue, Sandy Plumptree finally has an address that makes sense. Friday, he and White Rock Mayor Catherine Ferguson unveiled signage for Victoria Lane, the well-used – but until now unnamed – throughway that leads to Plumptree’s and other residents’ homes. “I started on this baby seven years ago,” Plumptree said of his quest to have the lane named. The east-west roadway – between Finlay and Fir streets – was marked for naming in January,

news Party collects annual allowance even after candidate resigned
Greens to gift a third of Fleetwood funds Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Elizabeth May Green leader
Alan Saldanha former candidate
Some of the money made from votes cast for a Green candidate in Fleetwood-Port Kells who resignied prior to the May 2 federal election will go to a local rape crisis group. Former candidate Alan Saldanha quit the election race an hour after peacearchnews.com posted a news story that his favourite quote on Facebook was “If rape is inevitable, lie back and enjoy it!” Because he quit after the Elections Canada deadline, Saldanha remained on the ballot and
received 1,476 votes. The Green party makes an annual allowance of $2 per vote, or $2,952 per year. Green Leader Elizabeth May told Black Press last week that she believes people in FleetwoodPort Kells who cast ballots for Saldanha were putting their support behind the party. “Even though the candidate wasn’t there, they (voters) wanted to see support for Greens,” May said. “That number of voters consciously put an ‘X’ next to the name of a candidate they knew wasn’t there, because they wanted to support
the larger Green national vision.” The Green party took the issue to its council on Sunday for a decision on the matter. It was resolved to accept the money, but donate $1,000 each year to a local rape crisis group, yet to be decided. “To respect the intention of those who voted for the Green Party of Canada, we will accept that money,” said party press secretary Debra Eindinger. “But out of recognition of the situation at hand, we would like to make a donation to a rape crisis centre or women’s shelter of some sort within the riding.”

Guilty pleas in mushroom farm tragedy Dan Ferguson Black Press
Every time 15-year-old Tracey Phan visits her father in hospital, she talks to him even though she isn’t sure he can hear her. “I don’t know if he understands what I’m saying,” she said. “I don’t know if he can see me or not, but I’m just hoping that he can.” Michael Phan, a Langley father of two, has been in a coma for three years since he was overcome by gas in a South Langley mushroom farm. He is one of two people who survived but suffered critical injuries in the 2008 incident that killed three other men at the farm which produced mushrooms and mushroom manure at 23751 16 Ave. When a pipe burst in a shed used to mix gypsum, chicken manure and water, it released noxious fumes that killed farmworkers Ut Tran (a Surrey resident), Han Pham and Jimmy Chan and permanently injured Tchen Phan and Michael Phan. Tchen Phan is in a wheelchair and cannot hear, talk, walk or remember what happened to him. Last week, a lawyer for the three people who operate two compa❝I don’t know if nies at the farm entered he can see me guilty pleas to 10 charges of violating provincial safety or not, but I’m regulations. just hoping They are to be sentenced that he can.❞ in September. Tracey Phan attended Tracey Phan, Friday’s hearing in Surrey victim’s daughter Provincial Court with her mother, Phoung Le. Afterwards, the teen’s voice shook as she explained to reporters what life has been like without a father figure. “He was always there for me and now that he’s been taken away, it’s so hard,” she said. “Whatever happens, I can’t ever get my dad back the way he was, ever.” When Phoung Le was asked if the guilty pleas would bring her some closure, she shook her head slowly. “Not fair,” she said. “(It’s) not fair to my family.” Nga Trieu brought her 10-year-old son, Phat, with her to see the guilty pleas entered. Trieu’s husband, Han Pham, died trying to rescue people from the enclosed space. “I still don’t know what happened exactly,” the frustrated widow said, speaking through an interpreter. Asked if the guilty pleas will make her feel any better, she said no.

Relatives of the victims of a 2008 gas leak at a Langley mushroom farm attended Surrey Court Friday morning. From left, Tracey Phan, Phat Trieu, Nga Trieu and Phoung Le, Tracey’s mother. “I’m not satisfied.” Under the terms of the plea agreement, charges were dropped against Vy Tri Truong, who was one of the four people originally charged last year following a 10-month investigation by WorkSafeBC. The remaining three, Van Thi Truong Ha Qua Truong and Thinh Huu Doan, and the companies they operate – A-1 Mushroom Substratum Ltd. and H.V. Truong Ltd. – pleaded guilty to 10 of the original 29 charges, including failure to have an occupational health and safety program in place, failure to educate workers about safety, failure to properly supervise workers and failure to make workers aware
about confined space hazards, Their lawyer, Les Mackoff, told reporters his clients pleaded guilty as soon as they reasonably could, but had to review 6,000 pages of material from the prosecutor first. “Our clients always wanted to accept responsibility for their failings,” Mackoff said, adding that they were admitting to violating safety regulations, not criminal offences. Two of the individuals, Ha Qua Truong and Thinh Huu Doan, were present for the court hearing. They face a maximum fine of $600,000 and up to six months in jail. They did not make any statements.
A thrilling roller-derby exhibition, monster truck rides, a family movie night under the stars and the West Coast Lumberjack Show are just a few of the attractions in store at this weekend’s 65th annual Cloverdale Rodeo and 122nd Country Fair. There’s plenty to see and do at the May 20-23 event, from the Fraser Valley’s largest midway, the new Extreme Zone, new features in the Kidz Zone, free performances at the outdoor entertainment stage and more. On Sunday, an evening concert will feature Doug and the Slugs, and the Stetson Bowl will host its first-ever free family-friendly movie, How to Train Your Dragon, at dusk. Check out the world-famous Longhorn Saloon for country music with longtime favourite Ken McCoy and Appaloosa, featuring a new female vocalist, Langley resident Randi McMillan. All that, and the world’s top cowboys and cowgirls in saddle bronc, bareback, bull riding and ladies’ barrel racing, competing for $360,000 in prize money. This year’s rodeo lineup includes three world and three Canadian champions returning to the Stetson Bowl in 2011. Four-time world champion bareback rider Bobby Mote of Culver, Ore. is back, despite battling injuries last year. Saddle bronc rider Cody Wright, who won his second world championship title in 2010, and ladies barrel racing contender Sherry Cervi also return to Cloverdale as part of the international contingent. “We are extremely pleased to mark the 65th annual rodeo with a very strong talent pool consisting of the world and Canadian champions,” Cloverdale Rodeo chair Penny Smythe said. “There is no better way to mark this milestone than giving West Coast rodeo fans a first-rate show.” There’s also plenty to see and do in the historic town centre, which revs up the rodeo spirit with events like the Cloverdale Rodeo Parade, May 20 from 10 a.m. to noon.

Bosa blames poor communication from page A1 have also also been enhanced for residents of the first phase, Stanton noted. Impact on views was one of the biggest concerns expressed by residents who attended a May 9 public hearing on the project. Many who spoke were also upset that amendments to the project had even been proposed. Bosa representatives Monday reiterated their feeling that much of the discontent is a result of poor communication with the residents by the developer. And despite perceptions, “overall, we feel the impact of the view is not as major as people think,�
said Bosa’s Herman Nuessler. Architect Richard Henry said Bosa is in the process of revisiting the “galleria mews� off Thrift, and will re-examine the wind baffle system, as requested by ADP members. Regarding concerns expressed last week about the impact on views to the west, Coun. Al Campbell noted Bryant Park trees already obscure many such views. Nuessler confirmed residents below the 10th floor will not have a westerly view, and agreed views for higher-level residents will lessen as the park’s trees grow. Coun. Grant Meyer said he
appreciated learning the view loss attributed to the changes amounts to “a fraction of a per cent.� Regarding an ADP’s desire for greater outdoor coverage, Coun. Lynne Sinclair said she would prefer the space be “as open as possible.� Council gave the zoning amendment bylaw first and second reading April 18. If the final approvals are received at the May 30 council meeting, Nuessler said the project will be back on the market by next May at the latest, and construction underway mid-2012. The towers are expected to take about two years to build.

The White Rock Business Improvement Association has a new executive director. Sherri Wilson Morissette officially started in the position Monday, and brings with her experience in sales and marketing from employment in companies across Europe, including in the U.K., Ireland, the Netherlands and Belgium. “My previous positions have been working in marketing and business development, so I’m hoping to bring more strategic elements to the position; listening to what the merchants need and being able to build a long-term plan on those goals and being able to achieve them.” Wilson Morissette – former owner of Roxy’s By the Beach on Marine Drive – said she aims to make the society’s events “bigger and better,” while further developing their family aspect. Her foremost priority, however, will be working with businesses. “The more important thing for this position is focusing on the merchants and how to have a better business recruitment and retention plan for the area,” the Maple Ridge resident said. “Working with other BIAs and seeing how they have been successful and seeing how we can make that happen in White Rock.” Wilson Morissette said another one of her goals – and challenges – is building a stronger relationship with the City of White Rock. “Instead of being two separate entities, we are one.” Wilson Morissette – who returned to Canada last year with her English husband and son after an 11-year absence – is a former BIA board member and worked as a temporary employee for a couple weeks before being appointed to the position. She replaces former BIA executive director

nother senseless death of a young person who had a life of promise ahead. Another emotion-filled plea from parents for changes to the laws. And unfortunately, another heart-wrenching case that will likely fail to move politicians to act. Kassandra Kaulius, 22, died May 3 when the BMW she was driving was struck by a Ford van at 64 Avenue and 152 Street. Kaulius, a popular athlete, was on her way home after playing softball in Cloverdale when the collision occurred. A 34-year-old Surrey woman is expected to face impaired driving charges in connection with Kaulius’ death. But investigation of the crash and having those charges approved by Crown counsel will take time. So will the wait for numerous court dates and appearances, not to mention the inevitable postponements and delays. At a press conference at the Surrey RCMP detachment Tuesday (after Peace Arch News’ press deadline), Kaulius’ parents were expected to make an emotional statement regarding the need to change laws around impaired driving. That may be warranted, yes. But what’s needed even more is the political will and funding necessary to clear up B.C.’s chronically congested legal system. Press conference organizers noted the Kaulius’ statement was made on the third anniversary of another impaired driving tragedy – the death of four-year-old Alexa Middelaer. The tot died in 2008 after she was struck by a car at the side of a Ladner road. The driver involved in that crash is appealing convictions of impaired driving as well as her subsequent 2½-year sentence. Carol Berner is out on bail as this case grinds through the courts. Meanwhile, the Middelaer family must put on a brave face and soldier on. Ask any victim of a serious crime and they will tell you after the grief, it’s the agonizing wait for some form of justice that is often the most difficult to deal with. And sadly, when “justice” does arrive, it’s often in the form of inadequate sentencing and weak penalties. Like the Middelaers, Kassandra Kaulius’ loved ones have a long, painful road ahead of them that won’t be made any easier by a dysfunctional legal system. How many more families will need to trudge down this path before something is done about the crisis in our courts?

71 responding villains, “large corporations” and “large resource companies,” their machinery and equipment were long ago exempted from sales tax. No change there. “What the PST legislation did not contain were PST exemptions aimed specifically at small, independent businesses,” Robertson writes. “So construction workers like welders, plumbers, electricians and other tradespersons had to pay an additional seven per cent PST on their work trucks, tools and equipment that they used to earn a living; retailers and corner store operators had to pay an additional seven per cent on their shelving, refrigerators and cash registers; accountants and other professionals had to pay PST on their office furniture, computers and software; truckers had to pay an additional seven per cent PST on their truck tractors and trailers…” and so forth. This is what the HST fixes. Obviously, Big Labour doesn’t like all these independent contractors. Therefore the NDP must also “fight” HST. I’ve mentioned before that the NDPVander Zalm axis of nonsense wants to deprive the poor of a modest tax shift in their favour, paid for by voluntary purchases of more affluent consumers. I’ve talked about the trend towards self-employment and small business as the Canadian economy adapts in a fastchanging world. You may not like that trend, and you may wish that everyone could have a union job with an employersubsidized pension. That’s not what is happening today.

Match limits on trees, buildings Editor: In White Rock, we all sit in our houses looking south toward the ocean and the sun. The city limits the heights of houses to 25 feet so we can all share that incoming sun and the ocean view like patrons sitting in a theatre watching the show. Our land values, tax base, and enjoyment of our home sites all depend on this. However, in dealing with trees, we forget this theory. The tree bylaws we have do not address the issue. There should be no trees over 25 feet high – same as the buildings – both on public and private property. There are many beautiful species of trees genetically programmed to that height or less. Trimming is also possible for trees that push the limit. Unless this limit is imposed, the limit on house height is not of much assistance. It is too easy for a homeowner viewing out the front of his or her home to enjoy the sun and/or ocean to plant tall trees in the backyard and deprive their uphill neighbour of the same view and sunlight with no recourse. The city is already in the viewprotection business and rightly so. Until it takes control of the trees, the effort is half-hearted and will continue to foster conflict between neighbours. Richard E. Rhodes, White Rock
Definition of majority Editor: Re: Current system works, May 11 letters; Interpreting the numbers, May 6 letters. Russ Hiebert being chosen as the South Surrey-White RockCloverdale MP is beyond debate, since he did earn more than 50 per cent of the votes cast. That is a majority by any definition, and I have no quarrel with the fact that he is representing me since the majority of his constituents chose him for the job. I also agree that it is silly to try to factor in those who didn’t vote. When you have a right to vote, and somehow choose not to exercise that right, that is most certainly your problem. Considering that people in the Middle East are literally dying to try to gain the right to vote, and that many of our predecessors died in order for us to have this right today, it boggles the mind that nearly 40 per cent of Canadians chose not to perform such a simple civic duty. But that’s for another time. What I do find deeply amiss about the current system is how 40 per cent of the popular vote – which is what the Conservatives got nationwide – translates into a “majority.” I’m no math major, but if our current system works, it is certainly not on the basis of the most fundamental of arithmetic principles.

The healthy community reacts to reports of overcrowding in the halls at Peace Arch Hospital.
It’s our emergency at Peace Arch Editor: Re: Hospital crowding: “This is news?” May 11. There are few things more important in life than our health. We all want timely access to quality health care close to home for our loved ones if or when they need it. I feel for the families whose experiences at Peace Arch Hospital are less than desirable, and I am thankful for the many grateful patients who go out of their way to share their stories about the exceptional care they receive. I heard one such story last week. A mother shared how her 24-year old son’s life had been saved when he was rushed to our emergency department earlier this year. She was impressed with the speed of the intervention and delighted with the care and attention her son received. After reading recent stories in the paper about crowding at our hospital, I want to share with you what Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation has done to help curb the crowding, what we are doing and what we are committed to doing. In the past four years, the foundation has invested in three significant initiatives that directly affect crowding. We have created more acute-care space: Two floors of previously shelled-in space have been developed, creating 56 new acute-care beds and easing congestion in the ER. We have invested in the Centre for Active Living, an innovative concept designed to help people stay out of emergency by living healthy lives. We have helped fund the Primary Care Access Clinic, currently operating on Johnston Road in White Rock. The clinic provides post-ER follow-up care, connects patients with family doctors and provides enhanced care for high-need patients, frail seniors and patients with chronic disease. Currently, the foundation, in partnership with Fraser Health, is laying the groundwork for a new ER. Master site plan for Peace Arch Hospital Campus is being developed. The plan will include a review of the site’s current state and project the future state to 2020 and beyond to 2030. A fundraising-planning study is underway to help us gauge the level of interest and capacity in the community for an ER campaign. The foundation believes this community wants and needs a new ER and a solid, comprehensive plan for future growth. At this particular time, I cannot tell you the scope of the next project or how much the community – through the foundation – is prepared to commit. Our studies will help us determine that, and I will share information as it becomes available. In the past four years, our community – through the foundation – has invested $25 million in the hospital and in our community. I hear directly from grateful patients and our outstanding medical teams that the investment is making a difference. It’s saving lives and it is enhancing lives. As we move forward, I encourage each of us to get involved and support the coming appeal. It’s our emergency. Jackie Smith, Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation executive director

Nursing wounds It sounds like the Fraser Health Authority would like Peace Arch News to just stop reporting the serious issue of overcrowding at Peace Arch Hospital. They’re apparently tired of being asked to comment on what they consider old news. I think Peace Arch News should be commended for continuing to report on the deplorable conditions at Peace Arch Hospital. It is extremely important to continue to raise public awareness. It is simply not acceptable that patients are being cared for in hallways and corridors where there is no privacy, no call bell, no bathroom and no room for family to visit. Patients and their families deserve better. Unfortunately, overcrowding and hallway nursing is prevalent across the province, and the BC Nurses Union will continue to speak out and lobby the government to implement solutions that will ensure citizens get the safe, appropriate health care they deserve. Janice Buchanan, White Rock, BC Nurses Union vice-president Q Nursing caps off to Dr. John Todd, general surgeon at Peace Arch Hospital, for standing up and speaking out about the: “bursting at the seams”, and not “hav(ing) an adequate facility for taking care of sick people,” or “adequate resources to care for the people coming to us.” Although the Fraser Health Authority assures that “people are receiving excellent quality care,” I must agree fully with Todd that it is being done on the backs of nurses and indeed, having a serious effect on the morale of the nursing staff. As a nurse, you go into the profession with the pledge and passion to create some semblance of wellness, from birth to death. There is nothing healthy, well or normal about treating a backlog of patients lined up in hallways and doorways or patient lounges. What is needed is the political will to fund the unfunded beds that sit empty and to staff them appropriately with the right medical staff on a permanent basis. What we see happening in our emergency room as overflow is really just the eye of the storm. The stacking of bodies is a result of a system that is not keeping up with the geographical buildup and years of cuts to: public health, preventative-health programs, community health, long-term care, units/ floors, buildings and staff. For every cause there is an effect, and when you make cuts to one area of nursing/health care, it impacts all areas of health care, full circle. My wish for Nurses Week last week would be: for the political will to be found to recover the funds and resources that have been made at great human cost/loss. Renee Kennedy, Surrey, BC Nurses Union regional lobbyist, South Fraser Valley

news Flyer campaign launched in Cloverdale murder investigation
Victim’s family not giving up Kevin Diakiw Black Press
The friends and family of a man murdered in Cloverdale two years ago are appealing for public assistance in finding the person who gunned him down. Christopher Whitmee was murdered at about 11 p.m. May 16, 2009 in the washroom of the Legacy Showroom in the Clover Inn at 176 Street and 57 Avenue. A second shooting victim, a 28-year-old Surrey man, was known to police. Investigators are now saying with certainty that Whitmee was not the intended target. “Often times people don’t approach police in the first instance after a serious crime like homicide. We have experienced that when we make a plea to the public it triggers something that causes people to have a change of heart and they decide

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Staff Reporter
t’s truly the end of an era at the Peace Arch News. Photographer Brian Giebelhaus, who has been – for many – the face of the newspaper in our community for some 22 years, is moving on to pastures new. But that doesn’t mean he, and his cameras, won’t be around. In fact, he’ll be dedicating even more time to the lucrative freelance assignments that have continued to pour in, despite his admission that he hasn’t updated his portfolio since the late ’80s. He’s also looking forward to indulging the purely artistic side of his vision; shows of his wildlife photography have been featured at the White Rock and Cloverdale libraries, and he hopes more venues will follow. “I won’t be leaving the community,” the gregarious lensman said shortly before his final shift Tuesday. “I’ve always felt I’ve been a cheerleader for White Rock – tried to show it in its best light, even though I’ve sometimes caught it at its worst. “As a representative of the Peace Arch News, I’ve always had to hang one step back. We’re not supposed to express an opinion on what we’re reporting and photographing. I’m looking forward to being more involved in the community, to give back a lot more and express opinions.” For more than two decades, Giebelhaus has captured Semiahmoo Peninsula residents at home, work and play. He’s photographed them at the heights of happiness – and the depths of despair. He’s shown them pursuing their passions, pampering their pets, creating works of art and building the community – literally and figuratively – from the ground up.
Brian Giebelhaus photo
Peace Arch News photographer Brian Giebelhaus is leaving the paper after 22 years. His viewfinder has depicted residents in childhood wonder, and in the wisdom, and frailty, of old age. He has photographed crime scenes and romantic vignettes, and
documented the changing face of the Peninsula, from the sometimes sad loss of landmarks to the excitement of new construction.
The easy-going, chatty manner familiar to many who have been his subjects and who’ve seen him at community events has often defused a tense situation, or helped relax a difficult interview subject. But his hallmark has always been the creativity he has brought to each assignment, whether for a news or feature story or for an advertising layout. And it’s been recognized with some 20 industry awards over his time here, including a first place at the Suburban Newspaper Association awards last year for spot news and two at this year’s awards, in the sports and feature categories. “What I like best is the process of photography,” Giebelhaus said. “I love the problem-solving – going into a situation, not knowing what it is and somehow finding a way to tell the story with a photo or photos. You’re trying to come up with something that grabs the attention and makes the the reader want to find out more. “It’s the ‘what the…?’ factor. In community newspapers it’s like you’re trying to go somewhere and show the reader something they might not have seen even if they’d been there, a different photo from a different angle.” A career in photography was not even a glimmer on his horizon when he was growing up in Holden, Alta., a small farming community an hour east of Edmonton just south of Vegreville. His father, Harold, owned a dairy farm of 70 to 80 head of cattle, and Giebelhaus recalls the glow of reflected glory he felt when his dad would bring little bottles of chocolate milk across the street to the children at his elementary school. His first experience in newsprint was filling in for a school chum as a delivery boy for the paper – likely the Edmonton Journal – when he was seven or eight years old. “It was a windy day, and one of the papers I delivered blew away. I didn’t know what to do, and when I turned around all the others had blown away, too. I lost all the papers.” After this early brush with circulation, Giebelhaus kept clear of newspapers for years. But fate – in the form of the professor who headed the business program at Grant MacEwan College – was moving him closer to photography. see page A12

Entrepreneur to sell Dragons’ Den on Chawel Martin van den Hemel Black Press
Dan Plante is a changed man. The White Rock resident flew to Toronto last month to pitch his towel-changing product to the investors on the hit CBC-TV show Dragons’ Den. And though he can’t say the outcome of his visit, and whether he sold a stake in his business, he did drop a hint: he’s still smiling. It was about eight years ago, while the former Richmond resident was working as a lifeguard, that Plante came up with the idea for the Chawel, a beach towel that serves as a changing room. No more awkward holding of the towel and performing feats of contortion to slip into swim suits or trunks. The Chawel is half towel, half sleeping bag, with an extra hole on one end big enough to pop your head through. His mother sewed his first prototype, and since then his product has gone through a few different iterations. It now features a hidden pocket for tucking away valuables, there’s a sports version made from a quick-dry, antibacterial material, and a loop on one end allows the cotton traveller version to be used as a neck pillow on trips. Plante has been peddling the Chawel for several years at Lower Mainland farmers markets, learning along the way about sales, marketing and business. He had been sewing the Chawels himself for several years, until his orders reached a point that he made the decision to get them made in Shanghai. And though he’s been selling the Chawel online for some time, his business finally exploded after he landed a deal with Mountain Equipment Co-op to sell the Chawel at its 14 outlets. Now he’s been offered a segment on The Shopping Channel. But with an eye toward taking the Chawel to the next level, Plante hopped on the ferry to Victoria in February for a local audition for the Dragons’ Den, pitching to a trio of show

Pizza restaurant mogul Jim Treliving, investment fund manager Kevin O’Leary, communications specialist Arlene Dickinson, tech guru Robert Herjavec and
new dragon Bruce Croxon, co-founder of the Internet dating service Lavalife. More important than the cash infusion the dragons could offer was the prospects of the contacts, experience and business savvy they bring to the table. The experience was worth the price of admission, he said. Whether he landed a deal, he won’t say, although he did mention that he was disappointed that energy magnate Brett Wilson, known for his small-town charm and philanthropic heart, is no longer on the show. And he won’t know until this fall whether his appearance made the director’s cut and if the Chawel will be featured on the fall airing of the show and thereby getting national exposure. In any event, it appears things are changing for the better.

Speaker wins world title Dan Ferguson Black Press
The people inside the auditorium at Moreton Boys’ College went completely silent while Kristine Ramsbottom was reading. The Southridge School student had chosen a passage from Ray Bradbury’s 1957 novel Dandelion Wine for the interpretive reading competition at the April 2011 World Public Speaking competition in Brisbane, Australia. The competition rules require a short introduction about the selected piece of writing, followed by a word-for-word reading aloud. Speakers are judged for their use of dramatic emphasis, rhythm and the ability to lift words off the page in a compelling way. At her coach’s suggestion, Ramsbottom read from part of a chapter in Dandelion Wine where Brad-
bury describes one character being stalked by a frightening, ominous presence. Competitors aren’t required to know more than the selection, but Ramsbottom found the excerpt so compelling that she read the whole book just to see how it all turned out. “It was really addicting,” the Langley resident said. The result, when it came time to read the nine or so minutes of the excerpt, was a performance that won a first-place finish for Ramsbottom, who has been honing her talent for persuasion since she was nine and convinced her parents to get her a dog. She was one of two Canadians who took top spots in the competition of approximately 120 particiContributed photo pants from 15 countries around the Kristine Ramsbottom. world in Brisbane.

Student wins biz award An Elgin Park Secondary student was among four high school winners of the first-ever Laurier Business Case Competition. The April win earned Kevin Lin and Grade 11 teammates Matthew Hart, Phillip Pennell, both of St. George’s High School, and Talya Cohen of King David High School the right to attend the recent three-day Leadership in Business Conference at Wilfrid Laurier University. As part of the oneday business-case competition, students joined Laurier faculty,
students and alumni to develop and present a plan to help an energy drink company expand and increase sales. A panel of faculty and business leaders selected the proposal that best met the goals of the company and was most realistic to implement. The competition gave the students “an introduction to university-level casebased learning and the opportunity to think critically about business problems and solutions,” said Laurier professor Laura Allan. The conference took place May 12-14.

THE TOUR DE WHITE ROCK PRESENTS:
FROM AN EXPERT FOOD for FITNESS What you consume before, during and after a workout is crucial to your fitness, performance and overall health. Rather than relying on supplements and energy bars, limit processed foods that are implicated in numerous health conditions. Instead, choose real foods that are close to nature with ingredient lists as short as possible. This will help to keep your blood sugar stable and help you avoid unnecessary sugar, salt, fat and artificial ingredients. Before your activity, fuel your body with enough energy. That way you won’t waste your time working out while feeling sluggish or lethargic. An hour before, choose easily digested carbohydrates such as fruit and grains. Top a piece of toast with some defrosted berries or have a bowl of oatmeal with sliced banana. Keep yourself well-hydrated during your activity by having 1 cup of water for every 15 minutes of exercise. If your energy levels tend to plummet during your workout, whip up a homemade power drink by combining 1 cup of orange juice with 1 cup of water. This ratio absorbs quickly into your system and gives you that boost of

energy and hydration your body needs. If you sweat a lot, you may want to add a ¼ teaspoon of salt to the drink to replace electrolytes. The salt, combined with the potassium from the juice, will re-hydrate your body more effectively. Store-bought sports drinks contain sugar for energy and have electrolytes for hydration but they also have artificial ingredients, like colouring. Energy drinks are similar but also contain ingredients, like caffeine and taurine, which are not recommended for children or people with various health conditions. In reality, most people do the best with good old-fashioned water! To help repair and build your muscles, ensure you eat a protein-based meal within one hour of working out. With your after-workout snack, also remember to consume some carbohydrates so your body doesn’t use up the protein as fuel. Make a smoothie with fruit, plain yogurt or milk and hemp seeds, which contain 20 grams of protein in 4 tablespoons. Alternately, have your lunch or dinner after your workout and choose a balanced meal of veggies, lean protein (fish, chicken or legumes) and whole grains (quinoa, barley or brown rice). If you’re on the go, consider an egg or salmon sandwich on sprouted-grain bread. By eating real food, you can keep fit inside and out! This is the third installment of an 11 week series of articles presented by local experts in the field of Fitness, Cycling, Nutrition and Psychology. Each of our experts will bring a slightly different perspective to help you implement and maintain a healthy lifestyle, and to help you make better and healthier choices in your life.

news TH ANNUAL 5 S SURREY’
Inquest advises RCMP on junior officers Sheila Reynolds Black Press
The RCMP should review some of its procedures regarding junior officers and those in training, a coroner’s jury has recommended. The suggestions came last week following a three-day inquest into the death of Surrey’s Kenneth Keith Baines nearly two years ago. Baines, 46, was shot by an undercover Surrey RCMP officer in July 2009 near 126 Street and 80 Avenue. Police were investigating an unrelated crime when they spotted a brown 1992 Honda Accord that had been reported stolen that day. When officers tried to stop the car and arrest the driver, the suspect tried to flee by ramming a police car with his vehicle. The officer who shot Baines had two years’ experience. A total of eight recommendations were made – six for
the RCMP, one for the B.C. Ambulance Service and one for the B.C. minister of health. Three of the six directed to the RCMP involved junior or training officers, such as reviewing procedures about self-assessment in volatile situations to ensure they’re thinking clearly. It was also suggested procedures about junior officers communicating with lead officers before using lethal force be reviewed, and that the RCMP provide additional training for new officers “with specific attention to improving skills in reacting to dangerous situations.” The jury also recommended the B.C. Ambulance Service look at “staging procedures” with RCMP for a quicker response time and that the B.C. minister of health make more facilities available for rehabilitation of addicts.

Now Through May 23rd ONLY!
Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – Stick figures puzzled about the harmonized sales tax are the main characters in a $5-million ad campaign unveiled by Finance Minister Kevin Falcon last week. The television, radio, print and online ads begin appearing in mid-May and continue until early July, when ballots are mailed out to every household in the province in a referendum to decide the fate of the HST. The ads don’t present arguments for or against the HST, but urge people to go to the government’s dedicated website at www. hstinbc.ca and look at its information about what is and isn’t affected by harmonizing the federal and provincial sales taxes. Falcon, MLA for Surrey-Cloverdale, said his travels around the province and participation in telephone town hall sessions on the HST have repeatedly shown that many people misunderstand the effect of the HST, and they want impartial information about it. “This is not going to be a persuasion campaign,” Falcon said. “It is going to be an information campaign, and it is going to ensure that British Columbians get basic facts.”

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon unveils the $5-million advertising campaign that begins this month. NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston said the government is stacking the deck in favour of the HST with its spending. In addition to the $5-million ad campaign, it has spent $200,000 to stage the telephone town halls, while the FightHST organization is receiving only $250,000 to publicize its argument for getting rid of the HST. In the legislature Thursday, NDP critics demanded assurances from Falcon that the government will go back to the old provincial sales tax with the same exemptions that existed before
harmonization with the federal goods and services tax on July 2010. Those exemptions included bicycles, energy-efficient appliances and new homes, as well as hybrid vehicles. Falcon has refused to comment on possible changes to the PST, if more than 50 per cent of voters say they want the HST eliminated, until after the referendum results are known. Falcon and Premier Christy Clark have also indicated they will offer changes to the HST based on public input gathered in the lead-up to the referendum.

Asbestos violator should be jailed: WorkSafeBC Jeff Nagel
Make Your Summer
Bloom Plant Proven Winners
Black Press
A Surrey-based demolition contractor who repeatedly exposed his unprotected workers to asbestos contamination is again in the crosshairs of WorkSafeBC. Arthur Moore last year defied repeated orders from the workplace safety agency and then continued his asbestos removal and demolition business in violation of a court injunction granted last August that indefinitely barred him from operating. WorkSafeBC tried this spring to have Moore jailed for contempt of court but lost on a technicality. An appeal has now been filed that could, if successful, put him behind bars for up to 120 days. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Jeanne Watchuk last month found Moore was a “significant public safety concern” because he recruited vulnerable workers, including teenagers and recovering addicts. “Numerous employees were repeatedly exposed to asbestos,” she ruled, adding there was a “compelling case” for jailing Moore. But the judge rejected the contempt application, because the original injunction named Moore doing business as AM Environmental and did not make it clear enough WorkSafeBC also intended it to apply to Moore personally. Moore operated last fall under different business names at sites in Delta and Richmond, accord-

Workers and former associates say Moore has continued to operate in recent months at job sites in Surrey and Abbotsford under the name Pro Scan Environmental. The appeal is expected to argue in part that the judge erred because a sole proprietorship business is indistinguishable from Moore operating as himself. Moore quotes low rates to demolish old houses – a fraction of the price charged by competitors who take required safety precautions in dealing with asbestos. He claimed to take samples and get reports certifying buildings asbestos-free before demolition. But according to court evidence the reports he provided were forgeries on letterhead stolen from legitimate labs. Past employees testified they were told to “run” if WorkSafeBC
officers showed up. The agency’s efforts have been frustrated in part because Moore has no real assets to seize. Ex-associates say other people drive him around and help him conduct business for a cut of the profits. “He’s endangering people,” said Rod Ludlow, a Burnaby man who periodically worked for Moore. “He’s got to be stopped.” Ludlow said Moore seemed legitimate at first and initially provided proper masks. “He used to buy them but he was too cheap to buy new filters,” he said. “It started out good but then he started getting cheap and he’d say, ‘No, no. Don’t worry about it’.” Repeated efforts to contact Moore have been unsuccessful. He did not show up in court to defend himself in any of the proceedings over the past year.

news Guenther Motzek, 81, repairs own driveway after it’s damaged in crash
Senior takes care of ICBC’s work Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Guenther Motzek isn’t out a heap of cash as a result of damage caused to his driveway culvert by a motorist who was cited for driving while impaired. He figures the bag of cement cost him around $12; and, he already had extra cement blocks to effect the repairs. But the senior is frustrated neither ICBC nor the City of Surrey would take any responsibility for the work. “Neither the municipality or ICBC would do anything, for the stupid reason the person who caused the report did not put a claim in,” Motzek, 81, said. “I finally said, ‘the heck with it – I’ll do it myself.’” The frustration began April 6 when Motzek woke to discover a driver had lost control and gone off the road in front of his home in the 12400-block of 24 Avenue. According to police, the crash occurred just after 1 a.m. A 35-year-old New Westminster woman received an Immediate

It Wakelin noted a city was suggested Motzek go through his home insurance, he said. City officials told him that since he had the original culvert installed, even though it is on city land, it was up to him to get it fixed, he said – a point police confirmed. “Any alteration made other than by the city would be unauthorized,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger said. “The city has lost no assets as a result of this.” Since the culvert is not on Motzek’s property, home insurance would likely not cover it, Grainger said. Motzek – who has lived on the property
Man fined $6,500 A Surrey man has been fined more than $6,500 after pleading guilty May 5 to attempting to evade duty. According to Canada Border Services Agency, Yu Long Zhu entered the plea in Richmond Provincial Court. The fine is duties and taxes owed on a watch Zhu told border officers he bought in Hong Kong two years ago, but never declared. The watch is valued at about $35,000. The payment evasion was discovered Dec. 14, 2010, when Zhu returned to Canada after travelling to China. Border officers noticed his Patek Philippe watch during a secondary examination.

road sign also damaged in the crash was repaired the next day. ICBC spokesperson Lindsay Olsen told Peace Arch News the city, as the property owner, can file a claim for damages. Olsen said, typically, residents whose own property is damaged by an ICBC-insured driver should call the corporation’s DialA-Claim line. With information collected there, “we would
investigate the loss which may include contacting the driver and confirming the amount of the damage,” Olsen said by email. Motzek said the city has since promised to repair ruts caused by the crash, and he has put the whole ordeal behind him. “It’s a very bizarre story,” Motzek said. “You spend three, four days, you’re mad like hell… In the end, what can you do?”

B.C. smokers to be offered free patches, nicotine gum Tom Fletcher Black Press
B.C. smokers who want to quit can get 12 weeks worth of nicotine gum or patches starting in September. Premier Christy Clark announced the program in Vancouver last week, making good on another one of the promises made in her campaign for the leadership of the BC Liberal party. The program will cover prescription anti-smoking therapies through PharmaCare. The government estimates it will cost between $15 million and $25 million annually. The B.C. health ministry estimates that 6,000 people die each year from cancer, heart disease and other smokingrelated illness. The cost to the B.C. economy is approximately $2.3 billion annually, including $605 million for direct health-care costs. Clark said the province also collects $682 million in revenue from tobacco taxes, and
some of that should be used to help people break their tobacco
addiction. The health ministry will work with the

Murder mystery
Flashback to the ’50s
Another one of Trevor Jenkins’ Grim Reaper interactive murder mystery evenings will come to Beecher Street Cafe in Crescent Beach on Thursday, May 26. Audience members are invited to demonstrate their Academy Awardwinning skills as actors in the new plotline, continuing Jenkins’ trend of putting a slightly risque spin on the English drawing room murder mystery. The last two shows, in September and February, drew a total of 135 people to the restaurant to participate in the fun. This time around, the show revolves around a group of unscrupulous adult film makers trying to muscle their way into Crescent Beach to set up a studio. A body on the floor, clues galore and two supposedly innocent bystanders – who may know far more than they’re letting on – will provide ample scope for amateur sleuths who want to play detective between the courses. The show is at 7 p.m. Reservations can be made ($55 per person, plus tax and or gratuity) by calling 604-538-1964.

The Gondoliers The Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society’s latest musical, the classic light opera The Gondoliers, runs to May 21 (7:30 p.m. evening performances) at the Surrey Arts Centre’s Studio Theatre. Producer Reginald Pillay, artistic director Christina Wells Campbell, music director Vashti Fairbairn and choreographer Carol Seitz have gathered a stellar troupe of popular company favourites and promising newcomers for the show, W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan’s last great success. Pillay himself stars as Luiz, drummer boy to the Duke and Duchess of Plaza-Toro (Roger Hussen and Jacquollyne Keath), members of the Spanish aristocracy, who have travelled to Venice with their daughter Casilda (Laura Luongo) – summoned by the Grand Inquisitor of Spain, Don Alhambra del Bolero (Robert Newcombe). A confused and complicated comic plot involving attempts to locate the rightful heir to the throne of Barataria (married in infancy to Casilda, who secretly loves Luiz) draws in two Venetian gondoliers,
the brothers Marco (Russell Robson) and Giuseppe (Dann Wilhelm), and their new brides Tessa and Gianetta (Katie Collins and Tamara Wilhelm). Tickets are available from the Surrey Arts Centre box office (604-501-5566) or online at https://tickets.surrey.ca For more information, visit the FVGSS website: www.fvgss.org
Demeter Goes Skydiving Semiahmoo Arts has scored a coup: award-winning poet, educator and scholar Susan McCaslin (Lifting The Stone) will read from her latest volume of poetry, Demeter Goes Skydiving at the ongoing literary series Readings By The Salish Sea, Wednesday, May 25 at 7:30 p.m. at the Pelican Rouge, Central Plaza. In the new book, McCaslin revisits the Demeter-Persephone myth of Ancient Greece and finds within it a profound mother-daughter trauma which she reclothes with unapologetic modernity. In this sequence of poems, Hades steals away the maiden Persephone into a notunfamiliar culture full of distorted body images, addiction, high anxiety and rampant consumerism.

sea of political, social and personal intrigue in post-Second World War Britain.
Argentine tango It first appeared in the dance halls and brothels of Buenos Aires around 1880 – and it wasn’t even considered socially acceptable in Argentina until after it became a craze in Europe just before the First World War. But authentic Argentine tango – a distinctly different dance from the ballroom tango – has lost none of its passionate mystery and beauty. Now Portal a Tango Dance Entertainment offers White Rock residents the chance to learn to dance Argentine tango with an ongoing series of beginner and intermediate lessons at Ocean Park Hall, 1577 128 St. For more information, call 778773-9904 or visit www. portalatango.com

EMS, Yale to square off Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Thursday’s Fraser Valley senior boys AAA rugby title tilt between the Earl Marriott Mariners and Yale Lions will pit speed versus size in a matchup that’s expected to be nail-bitingly close. But the Mariners – who are quicker but smaller than their Abbotsford opponents – have one thing going for them that head coach Adam Roberts hopes will tip the scales in their favour: they’re mad. “We have redemption on our side, for sure,” Roberts said. “It’s basically been us and Yale at the top (of the Fraser Valley) this year, but they’ve had our number over the years.” Most members of the Mariners’ current senior squad were part of the team that lost to Yale in both Grade 8 and junior boys finals, and this year, in regularseason play, they lost to the Lions by three. “It’s a huge rivalry, and the guys are fired up, and they’re sick of losing to those guys,” Roberts said. The Mariners have been the class of the Surrey senior boys circuit this season, and will have to carry their momentum into Thursday’s tilt, Roberts added. As well, they’ll have to find a way to mitigate Yale’s size advantage. “I think our pace of play and our overall speed and rugby savvy should be enough to get past them,” Roberts said. “But Yale is big, and they really use their size well.” Regardless of the outcome of Thurday’s matchup, both sides are headed for provincials at the end of the month. The winner Thursday will likely earn the fifth seed at provincials, while the loser would be seeded sixth. Yale is currently the fifthranked team in B.C., one spot higher than the Mariners. Thursday’s game hits the pitch at South Surrey Athletic Park at 4:15 p.m.

Ocean Athletics hosts young track stars
Rain and shine Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Somebody should have told the hosts of last week’s World Celebration track meet that just because they’re called Ocean Athletics, it doesn’t mean they have to hold their events underwater. But despite soaking wet, blustery conditions, the meet – held Wednesday at South Surrey Athletic Park – was still wellattended, and featured hundreds of top track and field athletes from throughout the Lower Mainland, including many from South Surrey. And as was the case with the Surrey championships just a few days prior to Wednesday’s exhibition meet, the men’s 18-19 year-old 3,000-m run was among the highlights. Ocean Athletics’ Jack Williams again topped the field in a time of eight minutes, 43.79 seconds, beating fellow OA teammate Jake Bruchet, who finished in 8:56:13. There were plenty other top showings at the Ocean Athleticshosted event. Lexy Reimer, a
Semiahmoo Secondary student, finished second in the girls 14-15-year-old 100-m dash; White Rock Christian Academy’s Britney Hearn – running unattached – won both the 16-17-year-old 100-m and 18-19 200-m dash; Semi’s Isabella Koch was third in the girls 14-15 200-m. In the men’s 18-19 race, White Rock Christian’s Sean Keane topped the field, in a of 4:03.87. In the girls 14-15-year-old 400-m, Ocean Athletics’ Sarah Korpach finished first and WRCA student Hannah Beaton was third. Beaton was also second in the 800. In the girls 16-17 400-m, Ocean Athletics’ Emma Scott picked up silver, and in the 800-m, OA teammates Alison Williams and Colleen Butler finished first and second, respectively. In the women’s 18-19 hammer throw, Richmond Kajaks’ Samantha Kennedy – a Lord Tweesdmuir student – set a new meet record, with a throw of 48.66 m. For more results, visit www. oceanathletics.org

We strive to develop a Responsive Curriculum for the children, one that reďŹ&#x201A;ects their interests, their concerns and their stages of development.

Our curriculum focuses on four areas of development; social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and we value the areas of creativity, exploration and wonder.

B.C. Hockey League shortens playoffs, reduces rosters It’s going to be a lot harder for B.C. Hockey League teams to make the playoffs next season, and they’ll have to do it with smaller rosters, to boot. The 60-game regular season won’t begin until Sept. 23 next fall, two weeks later than usual. League play will end March 11 to “coincide with the more traditional hockey season,” the league said in a press release. Moving the regular season two weeks later will allow the BCHL
to reduce the number of playoff teams from 14 to eight, needing just three rounds in the postseason to determine a champion for interprovincial play. The BCHL will also go back to a “half-interlock” schedule, that will see each team play every other team at least once but will not necessarily visit every arena. As well, the league has promised to “maximize” weekend dates for regular-season games, with occasional earlier start times on Sat-
urdays, in order to promote attendance by families. Only the top four teams in each of the Coastal and Interior conferences will qualify for the postseason, as opposed to the top seven in recent seasons. The Surrey Eagles finished second in the Coastal Conference last season. The league will also reduce roster sizes from 23 players to 21, a decision made to “promote player development and ensure more players dress for more games.”
Each of the 16 teams, including the Surrey Eagles, will also be required to carry at least one 16-year-old and one 17-year-old player. The changes were announced last week following a meeting of the league’s board of governors. “This is an effort to develop homegrown B.C. players as with the reduced roster size, these younger players are guaranteed to dress for games,” said the BCHL release.
D-man signs with SFU Former Surrey Eagles captain Derek Henderson has committed to play hockey next season with the Simon Fraser University Clan. The blue-liner, who spent last year with the Prince George Spruce Kings – he was traded by the Eagles prior to the 2010/11 season – is the second former Eagle to sign with the Burnaby Mountain school; Mike Krgovich joined the team earlier this month.
