Election winners refuse to say if they’d be willing to make room for premier’s byelection

BC Liberals reject ‘hypothetical’ request Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

In her first news conference following her party’s election victory last week, BC Liberal Premier Christy Clark said Wednesday she would wait until official election results are released May 27 before asking one of her MLAs to step aside to allow for a byelection. It’s a rare situation made necessary when Clark lost her riding of Vancouver-Point Grey

to BC NDP’s David Eby by a margin of 785 votes. Not since 1924 has a B.C. politician been elected premier without winning a seat. When asked about the possibility of giving up their seats in the legislature, BC Liberal MLAs on the Semiahmoo Peninsula offered Peace Arch News little comment. Asked Friday if he had been approached by anyone from his party in regards to stepping aside to make way for Clark’s byelection,

longtime Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg said no, adding he doesn’t expect such a request, given the location of his riding. “I recognize that in the British parliamentary tradition that we have to find a seat, but I think there are probably better options than one this far out,” Hogg said. “So I don’t see that as being something that will come up.” Asked if he’d be willing to give up his seat at Clark’s request, Hogg said he won’t comment

on something “completely hypothetical.” Surrey-Panorama MLA-elect Marvin Hunt echoed Hogg’s sentiment: “That’s a hypothetical question, and I’m not answering it.” MLA Stephanie Cadieux, who won her new Surrey-Cloverdale seat last Tuesday praising the party’s “leader that wouldn’t quit,” said there is “no point in speculating.” “The premier hasn’t made any decisions, so it’s not something I’m even thinking about.”

‘Eagle trees’ toppled for public safety Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Four city trees that were the subject of an impassioned appeal to White Rock council last week were to be cut down Friday, after a deal to save them could not be reached with a Victoria Avenue property owner. Greg St. Louis, the city’s director of engineering and municipal operations, confirmed just before 3 p.m. May 17 (as Peace Arch News went to press) that the city had agreed to remove the

Douglas firs, in the interest of public safety. “We couldn’t come up with an agreement with the owner of the property and the roots are very significant that are extending into his property,” St. Louis said. “We tried to do everything we could to save the trees, however, he wants to go in there to cut the roots, which would make the trees unstable and we can’t have that.” The property owner undertook exploratory digging at the 15265 Victoria Ave. site Friday morning. The trees in question are on city land

abutting the property line, and were the subject of a resident’s appeal to council last week. Sandy McNamee, who lives next door to the development site, asked the city to “explore and exhaust every option (to preserve the trees).” They are important eagle habitat, she said.

Metro Vancouver could order its own public meetings into controversial plans to build a new coal export terminal on the Fraser River in Surrey that opponents claim could risk public health. Senior officials at the regional district confirmed public meetings are possible on the application by the terminal proponent for a Metro air-quality permit. The proposal by Fraser Surrey Docks is being considered by Port Metro Vancouver and coal-dust emissions are a major concern of residents near the terminal and along the BNSF train route through White Rock, Surrey and Delta. Metro environment and parks committee chair Heather Deal said a decision on whether to hold public meetings will depend on the degree of public feedback to initial advertising by Metro of the permitting process. The meetings would not be full public hearings – as demanded by coal-export opponents, who have criticized the transparency of the port’s review process and say the open-house format used by Fraser Surrey Docks is designed to quell dissent. › see page A4

MLA-elect to donate council wages

penguin meats – specials

Hunt elects to do both jobs Kevin Diakiw

fresH baKeD european specialty breaDs stock up for summer - Whole or half

Black Press

A veteran Surrey councillor elected last week as Surrey-Panorama MLA plans to do both jobs to avoid a civic byelection. Coun. Marvin Hunt, who has served on Surrey council for 23 years, won the riding for the BC Liberal party last Tuesday. If his council seat is vacated, it would spark a byelection, estimated to cost somewhere more than $600,000. Hunt said the day after the provincial election that he will keep doing both jobs until Jan. 1, 2014, at which point his seat could remain vacant without requiring a byelection. “I have fought long and hard to save the taxpayers of Surrey as much money as I can,” he said Wednesday. “For me to be responsible for (byelection expenses), I just say ‘hang on a second, I need to find a way to not put that burden on the taxpayers of Surrey.’” Hunt said he will donate his council pay to local charities, likely the NightShift Street Ministries in Whalley or the Mercy Ministries in South Surrey – “That’s the kind of stuff that I’m thinking of.” To make the dual jobs more manageable, Hunt –

Marvin Hunt (centre) celebrates his election win May 14. who currently sits on the board of directors at Metro Vancouver – said he won’t do any regional committee work during his civic post. If the two posts become too unwieldy, Hunt said he would give up the council position. “It seems to me that when the house is not sitting, a regular member doesn’t have a lot of responsibilities over in Victoria,” he said. “It’s going to be a challenge, there’s no question.” Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said she has no problem with Hunt holding down both jobs to avoid a byelection, which she estimated could as much as $850,000.

“That money can be better spent on sports fields or policing or whatever,” the mayor said. “If it’s doable, I have no issue with that.” Watts, the leader of Hunt’s Surrey First team, said she’s going to miss Hunt’s presence on council. “He’s certainly added a lot to council,” she said. “He brings in that honesty, integrity, forthrightness and stability.” Hunt is the first serving Surrey councillor to win a provincial seat since Rita Johnston, who made the move in 1983 and later became B.C.’s first female premier.

Taxpayers federation calls for reductions of gas taxes

‘Overtaxed Canadians driven to the U.S.’ Jeff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouver drivers pay 34 cents a litre more for gas than their Washington State counterparts because of higher taxes here. And the Canadian Taxpayers Federation says the tax gap is drawing more B.C. motorists south, adding to the growing problem of cross-border shopping. “Canadians are voting with their cars and wallets,” said CTF B.C. director Jordan Bateman. “We are stalling our own economic growth with these high gas taxes – not only

do they increase the cost of every good and service moved in our province, they drive overtaxed Canadians south looking to save a few bucks.” Bateman said Metro drivers pay 49 cents a litre in taxes here, compared to 15 cents in Washington. “Lower Mainland gas prices would be competitive with the U.S. if our tax burden wasn’t three-and-a-half times heavier.” Canadians made 15.4 million trips into Whatcom County last year, the most since 1997 – a statistic Bateman pointed to as evidence of growing cross-border shopping.

Discount gas likened to a ‘gateway drug.’

He likens discount gas to a “gateway drug”

that gets Canadians hooked on other cheaper deals available in the U.S. Cheaper dairy products, groceries and consumer goods are all popular buys for drivers heading south to gas up anyway, Bateman said. He called for the elimination of the 6.67 cent per litre carbon tax and the federal GST, which is applied not only on the gas but on top of the other taxes as well. TransLink also gets 17 cents in tax on every litre of gas sold in Metro Vancouver. Gas prices jumped this month to just under $1.50 per litre, close to an all-time record.

Metro Vancouver directors delay decision for tour of park

Split over Campbell Valley speedway Jeff Nagel Black Press

The dream of motor sport racers to reopen the long-closed Langley Speedway in Campbell Valley Regional Park stayed alive last week on a narrow 7-6 vote of Metro Vancouver directors. Metro staff had recommended dropping the idea as an incompatible use of the park, but on Thursday the environment and parks committee deferred a decision until Metro directors can tour the park. Several Metro directors think the proposal from the Langley Speedway Historical Society may be viable and deserves consideration. But the committee is almost evenly split between supporters of the idea and those who think it’s an incompatible use with Campbell Valley’s status as a nature park, heavily frequented by walkers and horseback riders. “It looks sort of half and half right now; I’ll take whatever hope I can get and continue to work towards it,” said society president Murray Jones, who tabled 1,100 letters of support.

The historic speedway closed in 1984, but supporters think the oval could quickly be re-established as an operation that generates money for cash-strapped Metro while acting as multi-purpose venue for other events, including outdoor concerts. A staff report warned the sensitive ecology and various species at risk could be threatened by a restored speedway and cautioned Metro would have to spend several hundred thousand dollars on a feasibility assessment and public consultation. Equestrians strongly oppose the idea. “The Langley Speedway is like an invasive plant that keeps trying to re-establish itself in an unsuitable environment,” said park-user Kathy Kolb. Campbell Valley Park Association chair Jude Grass said park-goers who hold their weddings and other special events there won’t want to hear the roar of race cars shatter the tranquility. Representatives of the Pacific Riding For Developing Abilities, which provides therapeutic horseback riding for clients with vary-

ing disabilities, said race noises could spook the horses and make riding unsafe. Surrey Coun. Barbara Steele was among the councillors who wanted to reject the proposal now, saying she doesn’t think a park tour will change her mind that racing is a bad fit there. Committee chair Heather Deal, a Vancouver councillor, said advocates should look for land outside the regional park system. “Nothing about this is compatible with a nature park or compatible with the equine focus in that park,” Deal said. Others noted racing would be limited to 14 days a year. Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman, who has a vote on Metro parks issues, said mufflers and other new technologies may address noise concerns. “Electric racing is just around corner and will eliminate the noise,” he said. “I really think they can co-exist together in this particular park,” added Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters. “It happened before. I think it can happen again.”

Two White Rock ATM users were robbed at gunpoint days apart and only a block away from one another last week. The first robbery took place May 12 at Toronto Dominion Bank in the 15100-block of North Bluff Road. A 63-year-old Ontario man reported he had been robbed by a man who concealed his face and was carrying a black gun. Last Tuesday, a similar incident took place at Royal Bank in the 15000-block of North Bluff Road and involved a 62-year-old South Surrey woman. Mounties are looking for a Caucasian male in his 20s, approximately six-foot-one with a thin build. According to police, the suspect may be using a vehicle, as attempts to track him with police dogs were unsuccessful. RCMP have also reminded the public to exercise caution while using bank machines by having another person present when possible, maintaining an awareness of surroundings throughout the transaction and, whenever possible, using the machine during regular banking hours.

No gun found Surrey RCMP officers flooded the 15400-block of 24 Avenue Thursday, following a report of a man with a gun, but the incident turned out to be “no big event,” according to Cpl. Bert Paquet. The call occurred after a verbal altercation between two drivers on 24 Avenue whose vehicles’ side mirrors had touched, scuffing one. The drivers got out, had words, and one followed the other when he left, calling police to report a handgun, Paquet said. Several officers were dispatched to the scene. One witness described seeing at least 10 police vehicles. Paquet said no handgun was found and no arrests were made.

RCMP blitz results in 26 traffic citations

High-risk drivers on radar Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Risky drivers were high on the radar for police in White Rock Thursday. For several hours along the North Bluff Road corridor, police clocked, stopped, ticketed and towed motorists, logging violations for speeding, ignoring traffic lights, cellphone use and not wearing seatbelts. “We can give out tickets all day long,” said White Rock RCMP Const. Janelle Shoihet, noting there was no shortage of offend-

ers on the road. Members of the Fraser Valley Integrated Road Safety Unitand Speed Watch volunteers also monitored drivers between Nichol Road and George Street. The effort was part of ICBC’s High-Risk Driving Campaign, and targeted five high-risk habits: failure to yield right-of-way at intersections, ignoring traffic lights, tailgating, speeding and improper passing. Shoihet said in the first hour, one motorist was given a 24-hour prohibition and had his vehicle

towed. Over the course of the blitz, 26 drivers were cited. ICBC Road Safety co-ordinator Karen Klein said the goal was to raise awareness of behaviours that increase risk of crashing. She noted 60 per cent of crashes occur in intersections and said statistics indicated 340 people would be injured in such crashes over the May long weekend. “We want to help drivers avoid these high-risk driving behaviours so that White Rock’s roads are safer for everyone,” Klein said.

Bullying laws need adjusting

rime Minister Stephen Harper is making all the right moves in addressing the issue of cyberbullying in Canada, but local people want him to go further. Last week, the prime minister and Vic Toews, minister of public safety, met with families whose children were victims of cyberbullying, including Carol Todd, the mother of Port Coquitlam teen Amanda Todd, who committed suicide last October after years of suffering online abuse. The aim of the meeting was to discuss ways of ending online harassment and exploitation, – which has become an epidemic with the rise of social media – with the further goal of addressing gaps in the Canadian Criminal Code related to cyberbullying. This comes as welcome news to many parents looking for the federal government to take a tougher stand against anonymous, threatening and demeaning comments made by children and adults in online environments. Tightening legal loopholes in the Canadian Criminal Code is the only way to get cyberstalkers and others to take notice because local efforts, such as bylaws prohibiting this kind of behaviour, can’t do the job. Port Coquitlam, for example, wanted to be the first city in B.C. to have an antibullying bylaw, but after a review of legal jurisprudence, concluded that only the Criminal Code should be used to address serious bullying behaviour. Several amendments to the Criminal Code should be made to ensure that it includes bullying by electronic means, assigns appropriate consequences, and a restorative justice approach where appropriate. Carol Todd, who met with Harper and has been a strong advocate of awareness and tougher laws to prevent cyberbullying, also wants to see the federal government take action and will not let up her vigil until new laws are in place. The prime minister has been more than willing to listen, and his Conservative government has a good record for coming down on the side of the victims. But now is the time for action; a solution to this difficult issue is needed as soon as possible.

So far this week you’ve said…

Leader Adrian Dix’s promise for “made in B.C.” reviews was a strategy to choke resource projects to death under endless procedure, which may yet be the fate the Jumbo resort. We will have a seniors’ advocate office, but it won’t be staffed up to duplicate the Ombudsperson’s role of taking complaints. That’s good, since the Ombudsperson has become ineffective, labouring for years over a massive seniors’ report with so many recommendations it sank like a stone. We have 85 seniors’ advocates now. They’re called MLAs, and they definitely take complaints. They have staffed offices in their home communities and in Victoria. When they’re not doing political work that everyone denies is going on in constituency offices, those office staffers try to help people through the labyrinth of seniors’ at-home and institutional care. A new seniors’ advocate can offer advice at the management level to help the health-care system evolve, but only elected politicians are positioned to tell individuals they can’t have what they are demanding. The government should be adding more direct services, not more bureaucrats. There will be many arguments about the failure of the NDP to win against an unpopular BC Liberal government that is still weighed down by the harmonized sales tax and other heavy baggage. This election could be the beginning of the end for the old left-right model for B.C. politics.

Board ‘solution’ a safety issue Editor: Re: Rumble strips grind on some residents, May 9. Further to the skateboard rumble -strip controversy, I’d like to stress a point that has been overlooked. I have been using Everall Street, down from Thrift, on an almost daily basis, for fitness reasons, on my bicycle to bring our groceries home to Hardie Avenue for 37 years now. I have – knock on wood – never had an accident, never impaired anybody and enjoyed the rides. With the appearance of the grooves, this has changed drastically; I have to stop the bike’s flow for each of three rumble strips – the others are further down – then awkwardly and hazardously manoeuver diagonally via the grooves, into traffic, unless I want to jump off altogether and push my load, which would defeat the purpose of using a bike. There are, of course, other people on bicycles going up and down all the time. Accidents will come. At least one little old lady from Everall has been doing these rounds with her walker, for a decade, it would seem. She will not be able to keep fit this way anymore. In the short time the grooves have been in, I have had three accidents on them on my bike, even falling right over it and into a lawn. Yes, I do think of suing the city should I be unable, as I am old, to adjust to this utter nonsense in my way. It remains to be seen how well our six agile grandchildren, on their bikes, will master the tricky stretch, when they come to visit. And consider the financial aspect. The Everall Street blacktop is not even two years old. We had noise and dirt and inconvenience when it was put in. Now, again, for whole or half days, the unbelievable dust clouds and screeching of the machine to scratch the grooves in – then to have blacktop put over the grooves, partly – only to have them eradicated altogether on the first strip. All this, when we could finally enjoy the sun. As the taxes for our little old house keep going up, it will be interesting to know how much this non-issue will ultimately cost us. Also, all these tall and small traffic signs make for an ugly, disorderly sight. One wonders what will come next. No bicycles down Everall? No walkers? No children altogether? Oh, and oldies and doggies don’t mix with cars, either. This is 2013. Every mode of transportation that does not use oil/ gas/pollution should be encouraged. Ria Burgert, Surrey

Walking bridge takes its toll Editor: Re: Should have been passed over, May 14 letters. I could not agree more with letterwriter Grant Christianson’s position. The individuals who did the

feasibility study and approved this capital expenditure for Pioneer Cycling and Pedestrian Overpass are either incompetent or have no idea what they are doing. If you had 500 people per month walking over the bridge for a 10-year period, it would work out to $53.33 per trip, assuming the $3.2 million is the true cost of building. Wouldn’t it be nice to hold someone accountable for this and do his next performance appraisal? Dave Ludwar, White Rock

Shocking discovery Editor: Be warned, on Saturday I went for a bike ride with my family. At one point while cycling along the ‘nature path,’ we passed under the power lines near the Pioneer Cycling and Pedestrian Overpass, and we all got shocked!

Our bikes were holding an ongoing electrical current. The metal under our seats and bar ends were literally shocking us. It’s pretty scary that there is so much electricity in the air around those things. Obviously the health and safety laws are not up to snuff around here. I feel very sorry for the people who live so close to those highpowered lines. Glen Hopkins, Surrey

A successful election by the BC Liberals caught many by surprise May 14, as pollsters predicted an NDP victory.

Ask not for whom the poll calls Editor: Re: ‘Orange’ crushed as BC Liberals win, May 16. Only in B.C. you say? I couldn’t help but laugh at the pundits and pollsters who were completely wrong. Of course, the apathy of those who didn’t vote was apathetic. The silent majority won again. It was a matter of choices. The BC Liberals chose a leader, then deserted her when she needed support. The New Democrats chose a failed politician with little charisma, instead of a proven leader, Mike Farnsworth. Christy never backed down and fought her own amazing positive campaign. Dix thought it was a shoo-in by not committing himself and then panicked. I have lived 76 years in this beautiful province of ours but have never seen so much egg on so many faces after an election. Thanks for the memories. p.s. Christy, be sure to behead the traitors! Jim Enos, Surrey n I, among thousands, am totally shocked by the recent election results, but at the same time am pleased to see the pollsters were so wrong. Maybe this useless squandering of money will finally stop, since all it accomplishes is making the pollsters rich and arrogant. I also wish to comment on politicians who are already eating from one public trough, while attempting to gorge from another – case in point, BC Liberal Marvin Hunt. Hunt has been eating into the budget, funded by Surrey taxpayers, for many years. Sitting as an active member of council, his accomplishments have been, in my opinion, less than memorable. He has now managed to gain an MLA’s position in the new Liberal government, running against unknown opponents. He did not resign his councillor position to run provincially, which is appalling. He once made a comment that he may not resign his municipal position, even if elected provincially. What? The laws must be changed to reflect that any elected person must be resigned before they can run as a candidate for another political office. Enough of this free ride funded by the taxpayer. J. Conley, Surrey n

How can a party that is going to win an election collapse in the last days of an all-out sprint the way the NDP did? They can’t, no matter how much you blame the negative ads or anything Adrian Dix might have said in the weeks of campaigning leading up to the election. Fact is, in the last several elections – be they our own elections here in Canada, or elections across the border – polls have given us inaccurate information. U.S. President Barack Obama was in a close race with Mitt Romney, or so the polls said. In the end, Obama wiped the dance floor with Romney’s blue suede shoes… The Liberal Party of Canada was going to give a good fight to Prime Minister Stephen Harper. That’s what the polls were saying. Then the massive shockwave. Harper had a majority and, out of nowhere, the NDP became official Opposition. No poll had that in their sights. In Alberta, in 2012, provincial polls were all showing the Wildrose party was going to give the mighty Progressive Conservatives a run for their money. There were seven – that’s right, seven – polling organizations, all saying the same thing: Wildrose was ahead. Then election night comes and who comes out on top? PCs 61, Wildrose 17. So the question is, what relevance do election polls have anymore? New technology has caused a massive disruption in how pollsters collect information. The old ways of calling homes and asking how residents will vote is not working anymore. With home phones going the way of Nortel in the next decade, how will they get their information? Might it already be too late? Yep, too late. Until pollsters adopt a new way of communicating with the votership, they will tell us it was one thing or another that gave them wrong numbers. This time, we will hear how successful the BC Liberal negative-ad campaign was at destroying confidence in the NDP. Nonsense, everyone I know PVRs and has never seen the negative TV ads. These same people rarely answer their phones if they don’t recognize the number, as well. Of those who do answer their phones, their numbers get sold so many times, they are the only numbers the pollsters call. No wonder they get the polls so wrong. Remember, my opinion is worth something 19 times out of 20… Jean Emond, White Rock

Toddler falls from window Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Max Harding, a Grade 4 student at Surrey’s Bridgeview Elementary, runs a race with his service dog, Forest, and education assistant Chelsea Shaver during Tuesday’s Surrey School District Special Track Meet at South Surrey Athletic Park.

A toddler is lucky to be alive after tumbling out of a window in Newton Thursday evening. A three-year-old girl was playing in a residence in the 14000block of 77 Avenue at about 8:30 p.m. She was on the living room couch, when she pushed against a screen window, popping it from its frame. She tumbled out, falling 12 feet to a garden and concrete walkway below. The girl did not suffer external injuries, but was treated for a concussion at Royal Columbian Hospital and has been released. “This is an unfortunate accident that we see time and time again once the weather warms up in our region,” said Surrey RCMP Sgt. Drew Grainger. “As a result, we are reminding residents to please take the necessary precautions to ensure your family’s safety.” Grainger said screen windows need to be secured from toddler access in order to prevent these accidents.

Friends, loved ones search for brain-injured man Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Organizers of a search last weekend in Surrey’s Green Timbers Park were crossing their fingers it would end with the safe-and-sound discovery of a braininjured man missing since May 11. Sylvia Hoeree – co-ordinator of Semiahmoo House Society’s Acquired Brain Injury Services – said Thursday (prior to Peace Arch News’ early long-weekend press deadline) that she is worried that Daryl Ryzak, 59, may have fallen in

the park, which is the last place he was known to be heading. “I’ve seen some struggles going on, a little bit of weakness,” she said. “There’s really been no leads, so that’s the first place I’m going to look.” Ryzak – who was brain-injured in a 2010 assault – was reported missing after he failed to return from an outing to the park, located near 100 Avenue and 148 Street. “He left with the intent that he was returning,” Hoeree said. “The care pro-

Drowning victim’s body recovered Searchers have found the body of a young Surrey man who drowned while swimming in Golden Ears Park last week. A crew of volunteers recovered the body from Gold Creek last Wednesday, six days after the 22-year-old and a friend were killed after being pulled under water by strong currents. The men were swimming with friends at the top of a waterfall when they were swept away. One of the victims

– a 19-year-old from Delta – was spotted by a RCMP helicopter downstream. Swift-water rescuers from the Maple Ridge Fire Department and Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue reached his body the same day, two kilometres from the falls. Crews continued to search for the second man but had to postpone because of dangerous conditions. The names of the men are not being released at the families’ request. – Monisha Martins

vider said to me that he was going to Green Timbers and he was to be home within a few hours.” Ryzak is known to suffer from mentalhealth issues and is in need of medication. Hoeree said Ryzak’s plight had received little attention in the media to date, and there have been no solid leads. He is a regular attendee of the close-knit Semiahmoo House Society ABI program, which operates out of Newton. Ryzak is described as a five-foot-11,

200-pound Caucasian, with greying hair, green eyes and a missing tooth on his upper right side. He was last seen wearing a blue baseball cap, jeans and a longsleeve green shirt, and may be carrying a blue backpack containing art supplies and a fishing rod. Hoeree said SHS staff, program participants and members of Ryzak’s family were planning to meet at Green Timbers Park at 8 a.m. Saturday to search for a man she described as extremely imaginative, kind and gentle.

Peninsula couple embarking on 400-km Ride2Survive

‘We can find the cure if we keep looking’ Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter

s she crested 64 Avenue and Scott Road on her road bike, making her way past the cheering crowd dressed in yellow, the one thing that was going through Lynn Higgins’ mind was that she could finally put her feet down. She had reached her goal. After 19 grueling hours of pedalling 400km through an onslaught rain, wind and sun, the South Surrey woman had reached the final point of Ride2Survive. A year later, Lynn, 52, recalled completing the annual fundraising bike ride as if it had occurred just the day before. “Finally. I had done it. I had done it with the support and encouragement of people who want to make a difference. Who truly believe that we can ❝What we’re doing find the cure for for one day is cancer if we keep nothing compared looking for it,” she to what people said. After participating with cancer face in the life-changing every day.❞ experience last year Lynn Higgins for the first time, Lynn is gearing up for another successful bike ride on June 22 from Kelowna to Delta, this time with husband Neil, 52. Lynn first became involved with the Ride2Survive following her enrolment in a spin class led by a husband-and-wife team who took part in the event. Training for the 400-km journey began in January, as it does each year, and goes on for the six months leading up to the event, Lynn explained, noting that the most unique component was that everything is done as a team. “You have experienced riders, who know what to expect, working with first-time riders – which I was last year and Neil will be this year – bringing you along and doing the best they can to prepare you for what will be the most mammoth undertaking of your life,” she said. Last year, Neil was a part of the 50-member volunteer team, which worked like a pit crew at each of the breaks, replenishing water supplies, providing food and more. “I really wish I had participated last year,” Neil said. “The way we described it last year was that Ride2Survive isn’t so much of an event; Ride2Survive is a living, breathing organism. It takes on a personality and a being all in itself. The ride portion is one

Above right, Lynn celebrates the end of last year’s ride with her daughters. thing, I was a volunteer last year and I know it takes a huge effort of the volunteers we have.” The driving force for the couple lies in their personal experiences with cancer, including the loss of a friend who passed away two years ago, leaving behind two young daughters.

“It was heart-wrenching to watch. Her fight was three years long and you could only imagine what that did to her. But she did it and she refused to die and leave her little girls with no memory of their mother,” Lynn said. “I can’t put into words what this woman went through. But she did it with grace and kindness.”

Last year, Lynn raised nearly $40,000 for the event, which went directly to the fight for a cure. Knowing that the funds will be allocated straight to the research was another reason the Higgins chose to put their support behind the campaign. “A number of things are unique. Everything we do is funded by riders and donations. There are no salaries or deductions taken,” he said. While he admitted the idea of the ride is a daunting one, hearing the stories of survivors and those who have been affected by cancer has spurred him to keep training. “For me when we see the yellow jerseys at the front of the pack and they are the cancer survivors… You know it wasn’t that long ago when we shouldn’t have any yellow jerseys at the front of the pack. Cancer was a death sentence,” he said. The night before the ride begins, the crew of participants meet at a church in Kelowna where they check bikes and supplies. Following dinner, there is a gathering around a fire where each person shares their story, Neil said. “From those stories alone, the inspiration strikes, because once again, we’ve got cancer survivors with us,” he said. “And then to hear the other stories about people doing the ride for their partners that they’ve lost. “If you’re unsure whether you can do it or not, when you hear everyone’s stories, the whole 400k thing that we’re doing doesn’t seem so big,” he said. “What we’re doing for one day is nothing compared to what people with cancer face every day,” Lynn added. So far this year, Lynn has raised $25,200, while Neil is aiming for $20,000. To donate to a rider or for more information, visit www.ride2survive.ca

South Surrey’s Jessica Maughan named Miss BC Job’s Daughter

A crowning achievement Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

When she moved to White Rock from Prince George a few years ago, Jessica Maughan immediately set out to connect with Job’s Daughters in her new city. “The first thing I said to my parents was, ‘please find me a bethel to join down here,”’ she laughed. “We found Bethel 48 in White Rock and it’s been so great ever since.” The recently crowned Miss BC Job’s Daughter has been involved in the Masonic-sponsored youth development organization since she moved to Canada from Zimbabwe when she was 10. Now, with her 18th birthday looming in August, Maughan can cross one of her longtime goals off the list. “Three years ago I made it my goal to earn the title of Miss BC,” she said. “It took a lot of preparation, but I did it.” With the help of her coach, former Job’s Daughter Brenda Sewell, and 600 studying cards, Maughan was crowned in March. Receiving the title is the icing on the cake for the South Surrey teen, who credits her membership with Job’s Contributed photo Daughters for the confidence Jessica Maughan, after being crowned Miss BC Job’s Daughter. and determination that got her to where she is today.

Workshops teach self-management of chronic illnesses

Free health classes at risk Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

A number of free, volunteer-run workshops focused on self-management for chronic illnesses are being offered to Peninsula residents in the upcoming weeks. However, a lack of awareness about the services offered may lead to the classes being cancelled, which would be a big blow to those who could benefit, said volunteer facilitator Sheila Allison. “It would be a terrible loss if these workshops had to be cancelled just because people didn’t know about them or the value of attending,” she said. Offered through the University of Victoria’s Centre on Aging SelfManagement Programs, the workshops require between eight to 10 participants and offer information on how to deal with chronic conditions – such as diabetes – at home. Allison and husband Archie first became involved with the workshops after attending one hosted in White Rock three years ago. Once they

with how to deal with them.” The workshops, offered at various locations in White Rock, all have similar formats, with people coming in, introducing themselves, speaking on their conditions and problems resulting from them, then working as a group to find viable solutions. “Instead of saying, ‘I have a problem and can’t do anything about

it’ we focus on what you can do,” she said. The workshops include interactive sessions which allow people to go through a problem-solving process, followed by suggestions from their peers. The main focus is to show people that they can take control, Allison said. “The core of selfmanagement is taking responsibility for your own health and then gaining confidence in learning the skills you need to do that,” she said. “You may not be able to change your condition, but there are things you can do.” The Allisons will be running a diabetes workshop May 27-July 8, 1-3:30 p.m. at the iConnect Health Centre, 15455 Vine Ave. For a complete list of workshops, visit www. selfmanagementbc.ca

Latest buzz on beekeepers

Bee shortage stinging farmers Adrian MacNair Black Press

There is only one week left in the blueberry pollination season and according to experts, there’s not enough bees to go around. “It’s the same from Tsawwassen to Chilliwack and everywhere,” says John Gibeau, president of the Honeybee Centre in Surrey. “We’re 4,000 colonies shy.” Gibeau estimates that bee shortage will amount to a $6-million deficit in fruit production this year because the flowers just aren’t being pollinated. “I’ve been using every single bee we can find,” said Gibeau. “Any one colony by itself in the field, we took it and gave it to a blueberry grower.” Gibeau attributes this year’s shortage to three reasons. First, current customers are ordering more bees than expected, while new growers are entering the market for the first time. And, although Gibeau said they might have been prepared for that demand, the unseasonably warm weather has had growers asking for bees, which are notoriously productive in warm weather. The third reason is three large Albertabased beekeepers that usually supply the Lower Mainland did not come this year, nor did they give notice to growers. “So the growers are out thousands of colonies, and it’s been a scramble for those growers that had committed to these beekeepers to fulfill their orders.” That has left Gibeau and other Lower

Teaming up The CFSEU has published its first-ever Community Report, detailing the agency’s activities, objectives and statistics. The report can be read online at www.bc-anti-gang.com

ive years ago, gang violence and murders escalated in the Lower Mainland, fueled by rival gangs’ battle for dominance in the competitive drug trade. Last month, it hit home on the the Semiahmoo Peninsula, with the brazen daylight killing of 28-year-old Craig Widdifield in the parking lot of Morgan Crossing shopping centre in South Surrey. Widdifield was gunned down just before 7 p.m. April 24, becoming Surrey’s 11th murder victim of the

against gangs

year – his death pushing the gruesome tally past the total number seen in all of 2012. Since 2001, Surrey has logged 13 murders per year, on average. In an effort to highlight some of what is being done in the province to tackle the problem, the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) has released its first-ever Community Report (available in full at bc-anti-gang.com). CFSEU is the integrated team of 400 officers and civilians from 14 different agencies,

including RCMP and municipal police forces, that disrupt and suppress organized crime around the province. Their investigations have cracked cases such as the discovery of an audacious cross-border drug-smuggling tunnel in Aldergrove and the unraveling of a massive international money-laundering ring. The report includes stories of officers tracking members of the Dhak/Duhre crime group who make up one side of the ongoing bloody gang conflict in B.C. And it also releases findings on who is most

likely to end up a victim of the gang violence that occasionally erupts in B.C. CFSEU officials said this month they will also publicly identify suspected gangsters where possible as a new tactic to make it more difficult for organized crime to operate. The pages ahead feature excerpts from the Community Report. Among highlights are details of an extensive undercover operation that led to the 2009 arrests of five key players in the gang world, and a glimpse of a night in the life of the team’s uniformed officers.

GANG LIFE: NASTY, SHORT, BRUTAL

RISK FACTORS THE INDIVIDUAL: ■ Has anti-social beliefs ■ Is impulsive ■ Unemotional/callous ■ Early history of violence, delinquency, weapons use ■ Substance abuse

School failure Social/external influences Family violence Substance abuse in the family ■ Limited parental monitoring ■ ■ ■ ■

■ Inappropriate discipline ■ Low socio-economic status ■ High-crime neighbourhood ■ Delinquent peers ■ Peer rejection ■ Sense of alienation

f you are 30, a male and have a violent criminal past, your probability of becoming a victim of a gang-related murder increases substantially, research by the CFSEU-BC has found. Led by psychologist Dr. Gerry Stearns, CFSEU-BC’s Policy and Strategic Directions section reviewed the nature and character of gang-related homicides in Metro Vancouver municipalities from 2006 to 2010. The victim’s age, gender, criminal background, gang affiliations, location of body and cause of death were reviewed by the researchers. It’s a grim picture for those who become involved in organized crime, whether they are gang members or linked to it through direct associations. A typical gang-related homicide victim is about 30 years old and primarily male. During the four-year period of study, 118 people – 112 men and six women – were murdered. While most of the victims were about 30, others ranged in age from 17 to 59. CFSEU-BC researchers found that the vast majority of victims had previous charges or convictions involving drugs. Many of the victims also had violent criminal pasts. The majority of victims were members of a gang, not just associates or minor players. “At the time these young men and women were murdered, nearly 30 per cent of them were gang or organized-crime members,” notes Stearns. The most common membership came from the Independent Soldiers (7), the Red Scorpions (7) and the United Nations Gang (5). Others held membership in a variety of groups including Persian and Asian organized crime and the Hells Angels. “The rest of the victims were non-members but associated to the gang, or were girlfriends. Most disturbing, some of those killed were innocent bystanders caught unaware in the middle of a gang war.” CSFEU-BC’s research also showed that many of the victims were murdered in places familiar to them, such as near their vehicles, near their homes or in their own neighbourhoods. Mirroring their own violent past, the degree of the violence the victims suffered was staggering with the majority of the victims – 84.8 per cent – shot, followed by eight per cent who were viciously beaten and 5.9 per cent who were stabbed. One person was found burned to death. CFSEU-BC research found that virtually every community in Metro Vancouver has been touched by gang violence.

ORGANIZED CRIME AND GANGS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA In 1980, law enforcement listed just a handful of gangs and organized crime groups operating in B.C. Today, it is estimated that 188 criminal groups exist in a province where the gang and organized crime landscape is enterprise-driven. Gangs are no longer based on ethnicity. Due to sustained law enforcement efforts, they are reluctant to identify themselves. Even outlaw motorcycle gangs like the Hells Angels are reluctant to wear their “colours” regularly.

PERSONS OF INTEREST INVOLVED IN GANG-RELATED CRIME ■ The average age of a Person of Interest (POI) in a gang crime is about 36 years old. ■ Almost all POI are men between the ages of 19 and 65. ■ A POI is mostly likely to become a leader when he is in his late 20s to early 30s. ■ About 41 per cent of all POI have criminal convictions. ■ POI themselves are often on record for violence, armed and/or dangerous behaviour. ■ Other POI are often charged or convicted of criminal offences including assault, frauds, firearms, impaired driving, trafficking, production, distribution and possession of drugs. – CFSEU-BC Research

Men’s and women’s teams advance to nationals this fall

Surrey United score two B.C. soccer titles Rick Kupchuk Black Press

What was once considered a rarity has been accomplished two years in succession by the Surrey United Soccer Club. Winners in Provincial Cup competition in both the men’s and women’s categories last Saturday in Victoria, United – who play out of Cloverdale Athletic Park – will send both teams to the national championships in Halifax this October. Surrey United won the women’s

title, defeating the North Shore Renegades 1-0 for their 10th consecutive B.C. championship, while the Surrey United Firefighters blanked West Van FC by the same score to win a second straight men’s provincial crown. “You know it’s an amazing accomplishment really, especially for the men’s team, the competition is very grueling and I think it’s been about 20 years or so since a men’s team has won back-to-back championships,” said Martin Foden, executive director of the Surrey United

club. “This was probably the most challenging year for the women considering we were missing three of our top players to injuries and unavailability. “There is something resounding about 10 years in a row; it’s really amazing at that level of competition.” Chelsey Hannesson scored the only goal of the game in the Provincial Cup women’s final, finding the net in the first half. Theresa Nuttal earned the shutout in the United goal, turning back the

North Shore attack and earning the game’s Most Valuable Player award. United also scored early in the men’s final, and then hung on for the win. West Van lost a man in the second minute, on a foul in the penalty area. Colin Streckmann converted the penalty, giving the Firefighters the lead on a play that left West Van with just 10 men for the remainder of the game. United goalie Andy Fink was named the game’s Most Valuable Player, after he recorded a shutout

with a performance that included a save off a West Van penalty kick. Three other local teams also played in provincial finals. Coastal FC Supra of the Metro Women’s Soccer League’s Classic Gold division won the Women’s Classic (over-35) Provincial Cup final with a 3-0 decision over Gorge FC. Colleen Anderson scored once and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. Kerri Hornby and Nancy Heard also tallied for the Surrey-based Supra squad.

Surrey drops game to Brooks Bandits Thursday

Eagles suffer first loss at RBC Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

After rolling through their first three games of the RBC Cup undefeated, the Surrey Eagles were brought down to earth Thursday by the Brooks Bandits. The Alberta League-champion Bandits – who’ve now played the Eagles three times in three weeks, winning twice, dating back to the Western Canada Cup in Nanaimo – jumped all over the Eagles early, cruising to a 5-2 win at Summerside, P.E.I.’s Credit Union Place. Friday was an off-day for all RBC Cup teams, and semifinals were staged Saturday. In one semifinal tilt, the top-seeded Bandits faced the fourth-seed Minnesota Wilderness, while the No. 2 Eagles faced off against No. 3 Summerside Western Capitals. The two winners from Saturday’s semifinal round faced off in the RBC Cup championship game Sunday evening. The semifinal games and Sunday’s championship, were all staged after Peace Arch News’ long-weekend press deadline Friday afternoon. The tournament’s eastern representative, the Truro Bearcats, finished fifth after the preliminary round, and did not qualify for weekend playoffs. On Thursday, Brooks opened the scoring 1:24 into the first period on a goal from Brandon Bruce, and had tripled the lead to 3-0 by the seven-minute mark of the opening frame, with Mark Reners and Tyson McCallum tallying for the Bandits. In the second period, it was much of the

The loss was just the Eagles’ sixth in 25 on goals by Anthony Petruzzelli and Cam Maclise – before the midway point of the post-season games. The result evened the preliminary-round second period. Surrey defenceman Dan O’Keefe – who records for both teams at 3-1, though was yet to score this year, in regular season Brooks now sits as the first-place team or playoffs – finally got the B.C. team on by virtue of winning the head-to-head the board 9:18 into the middle frame, and matchup.

White Rock weightlifter expands new club to students

hen Christine Girard speaks, her students tend to listen. “Obviously, when I tell them what to do, they don’t say I am wrong,” she said with a laugh. “I know what I am talking about.” After all, Girard has a sparkling resume in the sport of weightlifting. The 28-year-old White Rock resident became the first Canadian female to win a medal in weightlifting when she won bronze at the 2012 Lon❝We love our don Olympics. She is also sport so to be the reigning Commonable to share wealth and Pan Amerithat with kids, can Games champ in her weight class (63 kg), and is great.❞ has won multiple medChristine Girard als in both competitions Olympian through the years. It was after her London experience that Girard, originally from Quebec, decided she wanted to give back and get more youth involved in the sport. With that in mind, she started a weightlifting club – the Kilophiles – which consists of 10 adults and trains at different locations around the Lower Mainland. In January, the decision was made to expand the club to high-school aged athletes. “Weightlifting is getting more and more popular, mainly because of (the sport of) Crossfit,” she explained. “But in B.C., it is not well known yet. We don’t have a lot of clubs, so we wanted to see

All three are volunteers. “For us, starting a new club is like sharing our passion,” Girard said. “We love our sport so to be able to share that with kids is great. “And the reception from them has been

very good, they have all enjoyed it,” she added. Hansen, who is a recreational lifter and just learning the sport herself, played a role in helping bring Girard and the Kilophile club to Brookswood Secondary in Langley. “She was looking for a place to train high school kids because she wants to bring more attention to the sport,” said Hansen, an art

and English teacher at Brookswood. “I don’t know if the kids know how lucky they are (getting to learn from an Olympian). She came and talked to the kids and she recruited 13 athletes. The kids are really into it.” Of the 13 in the club, 11 are female. Prior to the creation of the Kilophiles, Girard has also trained in South Surrey, with Dieter Stamm’s Semi Weightlifting Club, which is based out of Semiahmoo Secondary. For the students, the thing that really drew them in was a chance to stay physically active and in shape. “Being a former gymnast, it is a good to try new ways of gaining muscle,” explained Brookswood student Carissa Chmelyk. Both Chmelyk and another Grade 12 student, Tiera Naber, love the atmosphere around the club. “Everyone is so encouraging and supportive,” Taber said. “Everyone works so hard and you always get motivated by seeing other people work hard.” For Girard, the new endeavour has already paid off for her as a coach. “The payoff is to see the kids improve every single week,” Girard said. And as the athletes have shown improvement in their ability to lift greater amounts each week, the coach said she could notice a difference in their attitudes. “That proved to them that they are doing the right things,” Girard said. “It is neat to see how weightlifting can change teenagers.”
