SURREY — With week two of the teachers’dispute underway and students still out ofclassrooms, parents and students are growingincreasingly frustrated with what it meansnot only for their current situations, but fortheir futures.

With no negotiations currently plannedbetween the government and teachers, there’sno telling how much longer the dispute willdrag on for.

For Semiahmoo Secondary studentand track star Chelsea Ribeiro, that’s notacceptable.

Worried about how the delayed schoolyear will affect her post-secondary athleticopportunities, Ribeiro is pleading to bothsides to find an end to the dispute, as it couldpermanently damage the futures of seniorhigh school students like herself.

In a letter to the Now, the 17-year-oldwrote of her concerns of missing out on therecruiting process from universities acrossNorth America. Having already competedin countless competitions both in Canadaand abroad, Ribeiro says her opportunitiesfor much sought-after U.S. scholarships arevery real. However, due to the AmericanNational Collegiate Athletic Association(NCAA) rules, recruits are not allowed totour prospective campuses until their seniorhigh school year has begun.

With the signing period for U.S. collegesand universities being Nov. 11 to 19, Ribeiro’stime to tour any campuses there is quicklyrunning out.

“Athletics is everything to me and withoutit, I can’t imagine the person I’d be today,”she said.“All I ask for is the BC Teachers’strike to be resolved so that I may continue topursue my dreams. This strike is hurting kids’futures…all we ask for is the ability to learnand play sports so that we can pursue our lifegoals and dreams.”

Elsewhere in Surrey, mothers JenniferClark and Sharon Ferguson are simply fed-up with the state of the dispute. Both with

young children missing out on elementaryschool, the mothers held an impromptuclassroom session outside of MLA StephanieCadieux’s office last Thursday to show theirdissatisfaction with the current situation.

“We’ve had three months and it concernsme that some of this negotiation stuff didn’thappen through the essential three monthsthat they did have,” said Clark.“I think it’scompletely embarrassing that we are facedwith this at this particular time. Our kids arepawns in this whole situation.”

“They can’t keep using the kids as leverage.They have to stop using our future asleverage. If these kids don’t get educated,what’s going to happen is that it’s just goingto continue.”

“We feel like we’re being just ignored. It’slike two parents going through a divorce andwe’re stuck in the middle.”

And for Surrey parent Meera Gill, whoseson’s high school graduation was affected bythe strike this past June, she said the currentstate of the situation isn’t setting a goodexample for children.

Gill helped organize a rally for frustratedparents that took place last Wednesdayand again on Sunday. The rallies havebeen attended by parents of students fromelementary and secondary schools united intheir frustration with both sides’ inability tocome to a resolution.

“We simply want the schools to be open,we sat for this many months hoping theywould figure it out, optimistic that theseeducated, well-trained people would do theirjobs,” said Gill of the BCTF and government.

Unfortunately, with the second week ofno school now underway, Gill is wonderingwho’s supposed to be advocating on behalf ofthe half-million children still without school.

“Who’s going to put a dollar value onkids being outside of the classroom? Who’sdefending the rights of children in Canada tobe educated?” she wondered.“Ten, 20 yearsdown the road these are the people who willbe voting and you’re not teaching them anyvaluable life lessons here. Kids will rememberthis for the rest of their lives.”

VICTORIA — The government hasrejected the BC Teachers’ Federation’s callfor binding arbitration.

The BCTF asked the government toagree to binding arbitration in the disputethat has delayed the start of the school yearand caused students to miss 18 days ofschool, so far.

The BC Public School Employers’Association’s chief negotiator PeterCameron said Saturday that he had metwith mediator Vince Ready, who continuesto monitor the situation, and BCTFpresident Jim Iker to discuss the proposal.

“After the dust settled and I had aserious look, it became very clear that thiswasn’t a serious proposal,” Cameron said.

In a letter to Education Minister PeterFassbender, Cameron outlined severalreasons for rejecting the call for bindingarbitration. They include the requirementto drop the employers’ proposal on classsize and class composition (E80), the factthat preparation time is not considered bythe union to be part of wages and benefits,a Public Sector Employers’ Council policyprohibiting BCPSEA from giving a thirdparty the authority to bind employers to asettlement that could be outside the PSECwage and benefit mandate, and that Iker“made it clear that he wasn’t interested inthe consideration of any fiscal parameters.”

Iker said in response that the offerto enter arbitration or mediationwould remain open. He said the onlyprecondition is that proposal E80, whichhe called the government’s attempt toundo their court losses, be dropped.

“It is a fair, workable and pragmatic planto end the strike, open schools, and getchildren back into classrooms,” Iker said.

No further talks are scheduled.

WHITE ROCK — You’ve seen the WhiteRock pier lit up with hundreds of lanternsfor the annual Moon Festival, but in all theyears that people south of the Fraser havecelebrated the Diwali festival of lights, WhiteRock has never seen it.

That’s what Moti Bali, a longtime WhiteRock resident and community activist, isaiming to change as he and an organizingcommittee bring Diwali to White Rock’swaterfront on Saturday, Oct. 18.

“This is the first time ever that this functionis being held in White Rock,” he said ofbringing the traditional Hindu festival to thecity, which has been celebrated for years inneighbouring Surrey.

“I do a lot of community work in WhiteRock and I saw last year the Moon Festivalbeing held. I said, ‘Why can’t we have that forthe other cultures on the waterfront?’”

Along with his committee members AdityaMohan, director of leisure services EricStepurah, Vivek Vasistha, Simi Visishta, SouthSurrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg,Tejaswita Mohan, MP Judy Higginbotham,

artist Toshi Varma and Rama Bali, Bali wantsto bring the festival mainly to the waterfrontat White Rock near the Museum & Archives.

The now-retired resident, who’s servedas chairperson for B.C.’s Communities inBloom, is also looking to get parking alongWhite Rock’s East Beach sponsored so thatparticipants won’t have to pay, as well as a freeshuttle to operate between East Beach nearthe Washington Avenue Grill to the festivities.These activities are yet to be established, as thecommittee will be meeting at a later date.

The event will take place just before thecivic election, providing a good forum fordignitaries and important political players toshow up, Bali noted.

“The main aim is to get all the culturestogether and to celebrate this festive occasion,”he said.“There will be cultural activities,food vendors, something for the children, forthe old, for every person of caste, creed andcolour.”

In Surrey, the 11th annual Diwali festivalwill run from Oct. 17 to 27. The Diwaliopening party kicks off at Surrey’s CrownPalace Banquet Hall on Friday (Oct. 17), andthe main event will be “Diwali Downtown”taking place on Oct. 18 with more than 3,500people expected to attend.

SURREY — An art exhibitof photographs from menwho have experiencedsuicidal thoughts will befeatured at a local funeralhome.

The single-day event,on Wednesday, Sept. 10 atValley View Funeral Homein Surrey, will mark WorldSuicide Prevention Day.

The exhibit, called Man-Up Against Suicide, also

showcases photos frompeople who have lost amale peer, friend of familymember to suicide.

A panel discussion onthe subject of suicide isalso planned, starting at 7p.m. at the funeral home,14660 72nd Ave., Surrey.Participants will include oneof the exhibited artists andJackie Yurick of the FraserHealth Crisis Line.

The event organizer isMarlyn Ferguson, whoworks at Valley View as agrief-support person and

office administrator.She viewed Man-Up

Against Suicide when itwas shown last spring atFoster Eastman Gallery inVancouver.

“It’s all very moving, theimages in the exhibit, andit’s so important to raise thatawareness,” Ferguson toldthe Now.

“You know, the timingis right, too, with the deathof Robin Williams in themedia. And suicide is on theincrease, especially with menbetween age 18 and 25. Thenumber of suicide deaths inthat age group is really high.”

The exhibit is an initiativeof Movember Canada, UBCprofessor John Oliffe and theMen’s Depression & SuicideNetwork.

According to a pressstatement, the exhibitedpieces “reach out in a rangeof ways, some dark anddespairing, some hopefulof a brighter future, somemessaging those at risk. Thecollection of photographsand narratives challengethe stigma of men’s mentalillness, highlight thetragedy of men’s silence andisolation and hold up the

important connections andrelationships that providealternatives to taking one’slife.”

Close to 500 people dieby suicide in B.C. each year,according to the CrisisIntervention and SuicidePrevention Centre of BC(also known as Crisis Centre,online at CrisisCentre.bc.ca).The organization operates a24-hour crisis line at 1-800-SUICIDE (784-2433).

“We hope that withincreased awareness andbetter capacity in thecommunity to identifyand help prevent suicide,we will see a significantdecrease in the numberof suicides each year inBritish Columbia,” statedKyle Tiney, Crisis Centre’sdirector of development andcommunications.

In addition to the event inSurrey, other events markingWorld Suicide PreventionDay on Sept. 10 includeBC Place being lit in yellowfor two hours that evening,from 9 to 11 p.m. Also, theCrisis Centre will host afree suicideTalk AwarenessSession (Suicidetalk.eventbrite.com), and a30-minute webinar willbe staged at Reasontolive.ca/30minutestosavealife.

Two or three times ayear, Valley View hostssupport groups for peoplewho have lost someone tosuicide. For details, visitValleyviewsurrey.ca/AfterCare.

Bellingham eat local

With the topic of health on everyone’s minds, lots of places nowadays claim to support eatinglocal. Bellingham, however, is making a statement by declaring all of September Eat LocalMonth.

Entering its fourth year, it’s a “fun way to highlight what we’re doing year-round. It’s harvestseason, so there’s so much food production going on,” says Sara Southerland, food andfarming program manager at Sustainable Connections. Her organization is a non-profit networkconnecting businesses, restaurants and farms to support sustainable economic development.

“There are 19 participating restaurants that, during Eat Local Month throughout September, willbe offering menu items featuring 50 per cent or more locally sourced ingredients,” she says.

“Also, there are grocery stores and farmers markets participating as well. We have thesepassports for the month where people can get stamps by going to events, like the (WhatcomCounty) Farm Tour on the 13th, or eating local dishes at the restaurants or shopping at thegrocery store.”

People can then turn in their completed passports to redeem for differentprize packages. Southerland says the farm tour is usually the most popularattraction of the month, a free, self-guided tour with 12 stops throughoutthe region that include wineries and markets.

Coinciding with Eat Local Month are another couple of food and drinkevents happening in September. Immediately following the tour is theninth annual Bite of Bellingham on the 14th, at the Depot Market Square.Presented by the Downtown Bellingham Partnership, patrons can samplesmall servings of international cuisine costing between $1 and $3 from

several restaurants in the area.

And, the third installment of Bellingham Beer Week takes place from September 12 to 21. Believe it or not, there arenow five craft beer breweries within close proximity of each other — Chuckanut, Boundary Bay, Kulshan, Aslan andWander — all of which will be hosting events like tastings, brewer’s nights and brewer’s tours all that week.

“The response (to Eat Local Month festivities) has been really great. Businesses are really loving it, and people areloving coming down,” she says.

The Editor,Let me declare my bias from the

start: I am a parent of school-agedchildren, I am a supporter of teachers,not particularly their union, I supportbalanced budgets that respect ourpocketbooks and I strongly believe ina vibrant, effective public educationsystem that is available to every child,irrespective of their socio-economicstatus. Education unlocks doors thatwould otherwise remain closed.

All that said, I do not think either sidehas many answers to offer right now,and I am very tired of the rhetoric andspeaking points.

Yet, even more concerning andangering to me is this: We as parentshave no standing or formal voice within

this process. We cannot meaningfullyinfluence change and have nomechanism available to us to directlyaffect policy or decision.

It is implied, I would saypatronizingly, that they (either thegovernment or BCTF) know best.Parents are left to pick a side or remainsilent if we cannot fully support eithergroup. There is no place for discussion.

Are we not all in this together? Itis we, the parents, who represent our

children, the half million students inthis province – not the BCTF and notthe government.

Without a fuller and broaderconsideration on how to address someof the complex economic, structuraland systemic issues facing schools– debated and negotiated equally by thethree major stakeholders in this dispute– no amount of negotiation, money orgood faith will reach a settlement.

Your view

If this dispute between B.C.’s public teachers andthe provincial government can be likened to a pokergame, the government revealed an important tell onSaturday when government negotiators rejected theBCTF’s call for binding arbitration.

While we don’t for a minute believe the teachers’argument with the government is more aboutstudents than their own personal pay cheques, theirunion’s move to call for binding arbitration in itselfrevealed some willingness to compromise.

The government, on the other hand, sees no signof optimism to enter into an arbitration processbecause the teachers are still refusing to bend ontheir wage and benefits demands. But is this goodreason to reject the concept of binding arbitrationoutright, as at least one potential tool to help endthis nonsense?

Heaven only knows what kind of remainingschool year B.C.’s children will face if this labourdispute carries on for many more weeks. Onceit’s resolved, they will undoubtedly be laden withridiculous loads of homework. They’ll also have todeal with an inordinately steep learning curve tomeet compressed curriculum requirements, notto mention whatever residual grumpy politicalbaggage that’s left over in the wake of this dispute.

The longer this dispute drags on, the worse itwill be for the kids. The government’s rejection ofbinding arbitration, as at least an option to get themback into class, suggests the government is moredriven by ideology than the practical necessity to getstudents back into school.

It’s no secret this Liberal government is no fanof unions. However, it is tasked with providingeducation for our kids, and the need to fulfill thisresponsibility should supersede any union-breakingdreams the government might harbour.

To put ideology before children’s needs is simplybad governance.

When Premier Christy Clark was chosen tolead the BC Liberals, she promised that, “Morethan anything, our government will be tuned intofamilies as never before,” and said, “My top prioritywill be to put families first.”

Does it serve families well to prolong this dispute?We think not. And to reject binding arbitrationoutright suggests a level of stubbornness which wedoubt would be embraced in an election year.

The Now

Parents are left to pick a side, remain silentWe, as parents, have no standing or formal voice withinthis process. We cannot meaningfully influence changeand have no mechanism available to us to directly affectpolicy or decision.


DEBATE

There’s no doubt that emotions are running highin the teachers’ contract dispute, so it is perhapsnot surprising that all kinds of people are trying to

whip up enthusiasm getting recall campaigns organizedagainst B.C. Liberal MLAs.

All I can say is, good luck with that.Since the recall legislation came into effect in the 1990s,

there have been 24 applications for a recall campaign filedwith Elections B.C.; only a handful got off the ground, andall failed miserably (one was withdrawn after the MLA inquestion quit).

The bar for recalling an MLA is rightly set very high. Fora recall petition to succeed and force a by-election, 40 percent of the registered voters in the riding in question mustsign the petition within 60 days.

In a number of B.C.’s ridings, the number of signaturesrequired actually exceeds the number of people whoactually voted, in total, in the last provincial election.

On social media (Twitter andFacebook), many teachers areexcitedly talking about launching arecall campaign against EducationMinister Peter Fassbender in hisriding of Surrey-Fleetwood.

For such a campaign to succeed,14,226 people in his riding must signa petition within two months. To putthat in perspective, slightly less than18,000 people in total even voted inSurrey-Fleetwood in the last election (including 8,200 forFassbender).

This means that about 80 per cent of those whovoted last time would have to sign the petition, or thatthousands of people who didn’t vote before would haveto be convinced to participate in an electoral process thatthey refused to partake in previously.

There is little evidence – yet – that the generalpublic is as up in arms over the dispute as the teachersunderstandably are. There are no doubt a lot of angry andfrustrated parents out there, but only about half of thosewho live in Fassbender’s riding likely even have children inthe school system, so why should they be expected to signa petition booting him from office en masse?

Others have suggested a recall campaign againstPremier Christy Clark herself in her riding of Westside-Kelowna. There, more than 18,000 people would have tosign a recall petition for it to go forward, which meansalmost every single person who voted in her by-electionvictory would have to sign it.

And I can’t see many of her near-12,000 supporters(those who voted for her last time) siding with the BCTeachers Federation over having a premier as their MLA.

All this talk of recall campaigns suggests, again, thatmany BCTF members communicate in an echo chamber,where the only thing they hear is each other. The averageperson wants schools to be open, but doesn’t necessarilysupport the BCTF on everything.

As I suggested in last week’s column, the public is likelyof the “a pox on both your houses” view when it comes tothe teachers dispute, which doesn’t translate into bootingMLAs from office because the teachers’ union is furious.

In the end, a recall campaign arising from that disputehas about as much a chance of succeeding as does one ofBCTF president Jim Iker’s suggestions: raising taxes to payfor a new teachers contract. In other words, no chance.

Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson has made theproposed $1.9 billion Broadway subway line the centerpieceof his re-election campaign, but I fail to see how he canrealistically expect the province to fund it anytime soon.

As I’ve noted before, that line would run right throughtwo provincial ridings (Vancouver-Fairview and Vancouver-Point Grey) that gave the boot to the BC Liberals in the lastprovincial election. As a result, the chances of a BC Liberalgovernment pushing that particular transportation projectanywhere near the top of its infrastructure priorities list israther remote.

The political centre, as long as the BC Liberals arein power, has shifted out of Vancouver. As a result,transportation projects in places such as Surrey and Langleyand the Fraser Valley stand a far better chance of receivingsignificant provincial government funding than anything inVancouver.

The Broadway line would also need the financial supportof the federal government, but the line runs through theLiberal-held seat of Vancouver Quadra. So unless federalLiberal leader Justin Trudeau wins the next election, don’texpect much coming from Ottawa.

Peter Fassbender

The Editor,Re: “Peter Fassbender

addresses Surrey constituentsover teacher dispute,” TheNow online.

In his interview withthe Now on Wednesday,Education Minister PeterFassbender demonstrated adisconnection from realityso large, one wonders if hethinks he can reshape it withhis words.

Mr. Fassbender claimsto act “on behalf of every...taxpayer in this province.” Iam one of those taxpayers,and I am running for Surreyschool board in large partto oppose the actions ofthis government and allits education ministers,including Mr. Fassbender.

In addition, had Mr.Fassbender actually takena look at the rally outsidehis office, he would haveseen many more taxpayerslined up two and three deepalong the street voicingthe same opposition, as hewould if he looked to thingslike polling numbers ratherthan the Liberals’ wealthyand corporate backers foran impression of publicopinion.

Mr. Fassbender furtherstated that the BCTFexecutive did not tell itsmembers what his proposalwas, as though had theyknown they would nothave turned out in forceat his office the way theydid. Given that the detailswere rather widely reportedin the media, it appearsMr. Fassbender thinksthat teachers retreat to

live under rocks when notwalking the picket lines, aperception easily provenfalse by a leisurely strollthrough Twitter, wheremany teachers have voicedtheir extreme displeasurewith the government. WereI less charitable, I mightsuspect this as a tactic meantto divide the BCTF, or atleast provide the illusion of adivided BCTF.

Mr. Fassbender then goeson to repeat the demandthat the BCTF “come to arealistic approach on wagesand benefits.” What he doesnot include, likely in hopesthat voters will not realize it,is the part where he sets thedefinition of “realistic” (likelybased on marching ordersfrom the Premier’s office).

To Mr. Fassbender,“realistic” apparently meansthat we cannot affordproper learning conditionsfor students or workingconditions for teachers;meanwhile, we can affordbillions in tax breaks forthe wealthy and largecorporations, billions forthe Olympics, millions forconvention centres and BCPlace and, of course giganticraises for the Premier’sstaff. “Realistic” alsoapparently means spendingmore millions appealingcourt orders telling thisgovernment that upholdinghuman rights is more thanjust “realistic,” it’s the law,rather than just ending thischarade and providing thenecessary funding so we canmove forward.

The Editor,Re: “Coal safely shipped for decades: PMV,”

the Now letters, Sept. 2.It is important to correct the

misinformation contained in the letter fromPort Metro Vancouver’s Peter Xotta.

It seems that Mr. Xotta wants us tobelieve that one additional train per day issomehow considerably less than 640 trainsannually. It seems to me that he has eithera poor understanding of mathematics andtrain operations, or is deliberately trying todeceive the public.

Either way, it indicates that no confidencecan be placed on any statements made byPort Metro Vancouver.

Last time I looked, there were 365 days in ayear, and one coal shipment actually involvestwo train movements – one fully loaded goingto the port and one returning empty from theport. So, even his using his own admission ofone coal train per day, that actually results in

730 additional train movements annually.Equally disingenuous is Peter Xotta’s

assertion that “coal has been safely shippedthrough the port for decades.” He seemsto have conveniently forgotten that aderailment took place in January this veryyear, in Burnaby on the way to NeptuneBulk Terminals in North Vancouver. Sevencars of a 152-car coal train fell off the tracks,spilling coal into a creek feeding a nearbylake. Another attempt to mislead the public,it seems.

DELTA — Lois Jackson will seek re-election asDelta’s mayor in the November civic election.

“There are still a lot of things I would like tocomplete,” Jackson told the Now.

She has been Delta’s mayor since November1999, well outserving her Surrey counterpartsDianne Watts, Doug McCallum and Bob Bose,who each served nine-year terms as mayors in theneighbouring city.

The veteran incumbent mayor announced herdecision Monday afternoon at Delta’s municipalhall.

Jackson said she wants to see the Massey tunnelreplacement project completed and an “amicableconclusion” brought to the debate over tollingbridges in the Lower Mainland.

“Transportation I think is one of the biggestproblems we’ve got,” she said.

“I’d also like to leave the municipality debt-free.We’re almost there. We are almost debt-free.”

Jackson told the Now she’d like to see created aScott Road streetscape “better than what we havetoday.

“I think we do have to get together with Surrey.”She originally hails from Sudbury, Ontario, and

moved to Delta in 1969. In 1973 she became themunicipality’s first female alderman.

Serving in her 16th year as mayor, Jackson saidshe wants “one more term, and that’ll be it.”

Exploring “better ways” to manage secondarysuites in North Delta is also on her agenda, if re-elected. “We have to make sure we’re on the rightroad,” she said, concerning the housing stock. “Ithink we have to be a little more selective.

“These cul-de-sacs are very tight for parking asit is.”

She also weighed in on Port Metro Vancouver’srecent controversial approval of a $15 million coaltransfer operation at Fraser Surrey Docks thatwill see an increase in train trips annually throughWhite Rock, Surrey and Delta.

The approval has been slammed as “ridiculousfiasco” from one Now letter writer who noted thatOregon recently denied a similar project proposedfor the Columbia River.

Christine Sorensen, vice-president of the BC

Nurses’ Union expressed concern about the“alarming public health risks associated with coaldust.

“The significant risks associated with thetransportation of raw resources through denselypopulated regions are well-documented,” Sorensonnoted.“BCNU believes the health and well-being ofthousands of citizens who are directly or indirectlyimpacted have not been fully considered in thisdecision.”

While White Rock council opposed the projectoutright, Surrey and Delta councils withheldtheir support pending a third-party health impactassessment. According to Peter Xotta, vice-president of operations and planning for PortMetro Vancouver, “Port Metro Vancouver foundno evidence of negative human health impacts ofthe project beyond acceptable minimums.”

While Surrey and White Rock politicians haveexpressed disappointment with Port Metro’sapproval of the controversial coal project, Jackson

seemed acquiescent, noting that Port Metro hasits mandate from the federal government and thedecision was not in her power to control. Coal,she added, is “quite inert” compared to othercommodities being transported by rail. “I can’t saythis is a terrible bad thing.”

Jackson said Delta’s government isn’t sitting onits hands, though. She said it’s setting up coal dusttesting stations along the stretch of BurlingtonNorthern-Sante Fe rail that passes through Delta,and the air will be monitored 24-7.

“We’re actually doing the science,” she said.“We’redoing our own. We’re monitoring it very closely.”

Jackson said specimens will be sent to a lab, toassess air quality. “If we find a major problem thenwe can take it to the government,” she said. “Wecan’t simply go on emotion.”

Moreover, she said the results will be madepublic. “We want to bring that scientificinformation to the general public,” Jackson said.

SURREY — And then there were four.Another mayoral candidate has thrown his

hat in the ring in Surrey, in what is sure to bethe most exciting mayoral race the city hasseen in the last decade.

John Edwards, who’s lived in Surrey since1994, is past president of the Rotary Clubof Surrey, through which he’s worked withorganizations such as the Surrey Food Bankand Atira Women’s Resource Society.

He sees a need for a broader representationof political thinking on council and says hewill “position Surrey as a progressive citywith an international outlook.”

“As a former immigrant to the country, Ithink there are some perspectives that needto be discussed in the interest of everyone inSurrey. I think that’s one of the angles I’d liketo bring to the table,” Edwards told the Now.

The Barbados native was trained as aregistered nurse and psychiatric nurse inEngland, and currently has a license inpsychiatric nursing in B.C.

Edwards has lengthy experience in themedical and pharmaceutical field, includinginternational business development and

government relations.And this isn’t his first foray into politics,

though it is in Surrey. In the 1980s hecontested a nomination for what was thenthe Mission-Port Moody riding. He lost to

Gerry St. Germain,who was elected an MP,and Edwards turnedaround to work on hiscampaign.

One of Edwards’big focuses is buildinga convention centrein Surrey, noting allof the country’s bigcities have such an

attraction. He’d like to see one commissionedwithin four years.

If elected, Edwards says he would alsopush hard for local job creation, work toattract head offices in the city, engage youth,promote tourism to keep residents fromcrossing the border to shop, and fight formore sustainable transportation options.

Edwards joins Surrey First Coun. LindaHepner, former mayor Doug McCallum andVikram Bajwa in the fight for the city’s topspot. Coun. Barinder Rasode is expected toseek the job as well.

SURREY — As salmon return to theirspawning grounds in B.C., Surrey’s SalmonHabitat Restoration Program (SHaRP) isreminding the public to be careful of whatthey put down the drain.

“Whatever goes into a storm drain is goingto go into a stream or a watercourse so wejust need to be careful what we put downthere,” said Chelsea Nerpio, SHaRP co-ordinator.

In its current campaign, SHaRP is targetinglandscaping materials like concrete andasphalt as well as the proper disposal of wastewater from pools and hot tubs.

Nerpio said that with the latest rainfall,salmon will begin swimming into Surrey’s1,400 kilometres of watercourses anytimenow, making attention to water quality evenmore important.

“Usually they start coming up when therain starts falling and I’m thinking by theend of September we are going to see Salmonwithin Surrey streams,” she said.

Surrey’s waterways are spawning andrearing grounds for five species of salmonand trout. According to the city’s website,more than 900 Chum salmon have beencounted in Bear Creek in one season.

Concrete and chemicals that are flushed

down storm drains can contribute to raisingthe acidity level of the water.

Nerpio said that because salmon can onlysurvive at a narrow pH range, any changescan have a huge impact.

“It can affect their entire system ... addingthat into the water really affects their systemand oxygen levels and their ability to spawnand swim upstream,” she said.

SHaRP will be working with locallandscaping, pool and hot tub businesses toensure that any products and chemicals donot contaminate streams and rivers.

While the current public-awarenesscampaign targets specific materials otherproducts like paint, pesticides/herbicides andsoap used to wash cars can also impact fish.

“The best management practice forwashing your car is to do it at a gas stationwhere they actually have a catch basin thatrestricts the soap from going into the stormdrain system. Or if they wash their car ontheir lawn it will allow the grass to pick upthe soap before going into the storm drain,”Nerpio said.

SHaRP is looking to the public for help inidentifying contaminants and bad disposalpractices. Nerpio is encouraging anyone whosees products being disposed of in an unsafemanner, or signs of contaminants in oraround streams, to contact the city’s 24-hourService Request Hotline at 604-591-4152.

NORTH DELTA — Mostsenior citizens who havegone through heartsurgeries probably don’tput on pads and lace uptheir skates to go on the ice,but the Greater VancouverOld-timer’s HockeyAssociation are puttingthose notions to rest.

The GVOHA has beenaround for about 38 yearsand held more than 500games last season for playersolder than 50 years old.

Many of the playerswill be representing thedistricts they live in at theB.C. Seniors Games thisweek in Langley.

When the league startednearly four decades ago,the “old-timers” were anyplayers older than 35.Today, GVOHA has five agedivisions (over-50s, over-60s, over-65s, over-70s andover-75s).

Ralph Haugland, 76, isthe divisional co-ordinatorof the O-75 league andjoined the associationwhen he was 45 yearsold. It was his idea tocontinuously add divisionsas he grew older.

“It’s become a lifetimesport, like golf to somepeople. We don’t hit out

there on purpose, but westill use our body,” he said.“We don’t want to hurtyou.”

Haugland, who used toplay junior A hockey inVancouver, says that thereis a new team every year.

“Hockey is a hell of agame in that it’s not just aphysical wash, it’s a mentalwash. You can’t worryabout what happened atwork or at home. You haveto worry about putting thepuck in the net,” Hauglandsaid.

Bob Montgomery,the president of theassociation, is one of theplayers going to the SeniorsGames.

Three months ago, hebroke his sternum, but says

that it won’t stop him fromcompeting because it’s “justa great release.”

Last week, some of thedivisions held their annualdraft to set the rosters foreach team.

Montgomery, 70, saidit allows everyone to playalongside each otherand keeps the teamscompetitive.

“It’s just great because onthe one hand, if you and Iare always playing againsteach other, I might thinkyou’re a bit of an idiot.Then all of a sudden we’replaying together and yourealize he’s not a bad guyafter all. The animosity ispretty much gone,” he said.

“You get to realize thatthat enemy you thought

was such a jerk, isn’t sucha jerk after all. Or if heis a jerk, he’s a good jerkbecause now he’s on yourteam. You’d rather playwith him than againsthim,” added Haugland.

Tanya Orcutt is theassistant manager atBoomers Bar & Grill andknows most of the old-timers on a first-namebasis.

The restaurant is abovethe rinks at Planet Ice inNorth Delta, where someof the divisions play theirgames.

She said she can’t helpbut admire them, evenif she has to “get up on achair and yell at them” tocalm them down.

“You hear about thescuffles on the ice duringtheir hockey games andeverything and they comeup here and it’s all good.They just get along and it’sjust a great atmosphere,”she said.

“These guys are late 60sand 70s. It’s amazing thatthey still can do that. Youlook up to them for that,”added Orcutt.

The Langley SeniorsGames take place fromSept. 9 to 13.

SURREY — And then there were four.Another mayoral candidate has thrown his

hat in the ring in Surrey, in what is sure to bethe most exciting mayoral race the city hasseen in the last decade.

John Edwards, who’s lived in Surrey since1994, is past president of the Rotary Clubof Surrey, through which he’s worked withorganizations such as the Surrey Food Bankand Atira Women’s Resource Society.

He sees a need for a broader representationof political thinking on council and says hewould “position Surrey as a progressive citywith an international outlook.”

“As a former immigrant to the country, Ithink there are some perspectives that needto be discussed in the interest of everyone inSurrey. I think that’s one of the angles I’d liketo bring to the table,” Edwards told the Now.

The Barbados native was trained as aregistered nurse and psychiatric nurse inEngland, and currently has a license inpsychiatric nursing in B.C.

Edwards has lengthy experience in themedical and pharmaceutical field, includinginternational business development and

government relations.And this isn’t his first foray into politics,

though it is in Surrey. In the 1980s hecontested a nomination for what was thenthe Mission-Port Moody riding. He lost to

Gerry St. Germain,who was elected an MP,and Edwards turnedaround to work on hiscampaign.

One of Edwards’big focuses is buildinga convention centrein Surrey, noting allof the country’s bigcities have such an

attraction. He’d like to see one commissionedwithin four years.

If elected, Edwards says he would alsopush hard for local job creation, work toattract head offices in the city, engage youth,promote tourism to keep residents fromcrossing the border to shop, and fight formore sustainable transportation options.

Edwards joins Surrey First Coun. LindaHepner, former mayor Doug McCallum andVikram Bajwa in the fight for the city’s topspot. Coun. Barinder Rasode is expected toseek the job as well.

Brooke Colby wants mayor’s job in White RockWHITE ROCK — A new

challenger has appeared forthe White Rock mayor’s seatin this fall’s election.

Brooke Colby hasannounced his intent to runfor mayor against incumbentWayne Baldwin.

Picking up where his latefather, Larry Colby, a formeralderman and executivedirector of South Surrey &White Rock Chamber ofCommerce, left off, Brookesaid he decided he’d run formayor eight years ago whenhis father passed away.

“He missed being mayorby a very slim margin and

there was a rumour startedthat my dad got the highrisesin White Rock started, but hewas the opposite,” said Colby.

Hoping to carry hisfather’s vision forward,Colby said his primaryconcern at this point is thedirection the city is headedwhen it comes increasinglyhigher developments.

“I know that you do haveto have some high densitybut I just think it’s startingto look like Hong Konguptown,” he said, addingthat the city wasn’t builtto handle those kinds ofdevelopments.

Meanwhile, former Coun.Margaret Woods has decidedagainst joining the mayoralrace, instead opting for aspot as city councillor.

Woods said she was takingthe summer to decide andafter much deliberation,decided to first try forcouncillor. “I just kind ofgave it some thought andfigured I’ve been away fora few years, so I thought itwould be better for me tomove forward as a memberof council first and afterthat, see what the futureholds,” she said.

SOUTH SURREY — Harvard Gardensis an upscale community of two-bedroomapartments inspired by East Coastarchitecture with brickwork, natural-woodsoffits and black metal detailing. There’salso the Rowing Club, a private residentclubhouse with over 9,000 square feet ofresort-style amenities, including an outdoorpool and spa, gymnasium, fitness facilitiesand screening room.

Shaughnessy? Arbutus? Kerrisdale? PointGrey?

Nope.Welcome to South Surrey.The gentrification of this area has been

ongoing for years, but only lately has theLower Mainland started to take real noticeof the demographic change. Previouslymade up of mostly underdeveloped lotsof agricultural land, South Surrey hasnow become one of the hottest places forreal estate development in the province.As Surrey transforms into a majormetropolitan hub, it is cultivating its ownupper-crust milieu. Matt Morrow, a real

estate agent with Re/Max who lives in OceanPark, said South Surrey is undergoing aswift metamorphosis.

“Detached prices are rising due to lowinterest rates and a lack of supply,” Morrowsaid. “You’re getting a lot of the older viewhomes being knocked down and newerhomes are being built. And we’re startingto see that a lot. If you drive down any ofthe streets on the slope, houses are comingdown and being rebuilt.”

Median prices for detached homes inSouth Surrey/White Rock jumped 11 percent to $860,000 and townhomes jumped13.6 per cent to $465,000 between June2013 and June 2014, according to the FraserValley Real Estate Board (FVREB). But salesare where the numbers are climbing themost. The number of detached home salesin South Surrey/White Rock rose 32 per centand townhouse sales jumped 121.9 per centsince June of last year. This is due largelyto townhome developments throughoutMorgan Heights and South Surrey that werecompleted this year and in 2013.

Property values for detached homesjumped double digits since June 2013 inareas such as Grandview/Morgan Crossing(8.7 per cent), Hazelmere (12.2 per cent)

and Pacific Douglas (10.2 per cent). FVREBpresident Ray Werger said the increases arethe result of Surrey’s rapid expansion, inwhich 1,200 people are added to the city’spopulation each month.

“It’s just indicative of what’s going on inthe valley in general,” he said. “If you buildit, people will come, and definitely it’s adesirable area. You’re close to the borderand the ocean, an easy drive to the airport.And it’s got a really diverse mix of housingoptions.”

Morrow pointed to Morgan Crossing,just east of Highway 99 and north of 24thAvenue, which typifies the gentrificationprocess going on. Commercial developmenthas brought large chain stores like WalMartand Home Depot and even some high-end

boutiques to the area.“You’ve now got all levels of shopping

within the peninsula so there’s really noneed to go anywhere unless you want to hita major mall. So the need to leave is gone, orgoing quickly.”

However there’s one aspect of SouthSurrey that is failing to keep pace with therapid growth – transportation. Werger saidSouth Surrey is almost growing too fast forits own good.

“You need the (population) numbers forpublic transportation,” he added. “That’s thebiggest thing. If you talk to TransLink, it’skind of like a chicken-and-egg thing. You’dlove to have it right away, but you need thenumbers to support the cost of it becauseit’s so costly.”

Either way, Werger said when he’s drivinghis car through South Surrey, whether inbumper-to-bumper rush-hour traffic ornot, one thing’s for certain.

“What I’m surprised with is just howrapid the growth seems to be. Even as aworking realtor, just driving around – whichI’m doing all the time – you drive into aneighbourhood down there and go, ‘Holygeez, when did that happen? That wasn’tthere last year.’”

SURREY — As salmon returnto their spawning grounds in B.C.,Surrey’s Salmon Habitat RestorationProgram (SHaRP) is reminding thepublic to be careful of what they putdown the drain.

“Whatever goes into a stormdrain is going to go into a stream ora watercourse so we just need to becareful what we put down there,” saidChelsea Nerpio, SHaRP co-ordinator.

In its current campaign, SHaRP istargeting landscaping materials likeconcrete and asphalt as well as theproper disposal of waste water frompools and hot tubs.

Nerpio said that with the latestrainfall, salmon will begin swimminginto Surrey’s 1,400 kilometres ofwatercourses anytime now, makingattention to water quality even moreimportant.

“Usually they start coming upwhen the rain starts falling and I’mthinking by the end of September

we are going to see Salmon withinSurrey streams,” she said.

Surrey’s waterways are spawningand rearing grounds for five speciesof salmon and trout. According tothe city’s website, more than 900Chum salmon have been counted inBear Creek in one season.

Concrete and chemicals that areflushed down storm drains cancontribute to raising the acidity levelof the water. Nerpio said that becausesalmon can only survive at a narrowpH range, any changes can have ahuge impact.

“It can affect their entire system

... adding that into the water reallyaffects their system and oxygen levelsand their ability to spawn and swimupstream,” she said.

SHaRP will be working withlocal landscaping, pool and hottub businesses to ensure that anyproducts and chemicals do notcontaminate streams and rivers.

While the current public-awareness campaign targets specificmaterials other products like paint,pesticides/herbicides and soap usedto wash cars can also impact fish.

“The best management practicefor washing your car is to do it at agas station where they actually havea catch basin that restricts the soapfrom going into the storm drainsystem. Or if they wash their car ontheir lawn it will allow the grass topick up the soap before going intothe storm drain,” Nerpio said.

Nerpio is encouraging anyonewho sees products being disposedof in an unsafe manner, or signs ofcontaminants in or around streams,to contact the city’s 24-hour ServiceRequest Hotline at 604-591-4152.

Plea: keep streams clean for spawning salmon
