FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Title:
"White Rock BIA to begin Renewal Process"
In 2005, the City of White Rock, with Bylaw No. 1764, established the White Rock Business
Improvement Association (BIA) with a mandate for five years, expiring on March 31, 2010.
With the expiration date only a few months away, the renewal process is underway.
The renewal procedure will be done in accordance with Section 213 of the Community Charter,
which involves a council initiative process.
Under this section, information must be advertised and mailed to property owners as per public
notice processes. The renewal process can then move forward unless prevented by a petition
against, signed by the owners of at least 50 per cent of the parcels that would be subject to the
BIA tax levy, and the persons signing must be the owners of at least 50 per cent of the assessed
value of the BIA area.
“As the White Rock BIA embarks on the process of renewal, the City of White Rock stands behind their previous work, recognizing the benefit the association has brought to both the residents of White Rock and to the local businesses,” said Mayor Catherine Ferguson.
“In the past four years, the BIA has lived up to its mandate “to strengthen the economic viability withinthe White Rock Business Improvement Area”.
The BIA has also brought together business owners and commercial property owners from all over White Rock, including Uptown, Five Corners, East Beach and West Beach.
As the White Rock BIA is on the forefront of business enhancement, marketing and community improvement, the City of White Rock encourages the business community to re-establish a BIA.
It is hoped that the present legal issues with the BIA can be solved soon, otherwise the City has requested that a new organization pursue the renewal of the BIA.
Special events and advertising promotions bring added value to the White Rock business community and culturally enhance the community and City as a whole.
Without the BIA, White Rock wouldn’t enjoy an average of 24 annual events hosted by the organization, such as Summer Block Parties, the Bite of the Rock, or Chinese New Year activities.
The BIA also actively participates in organizing components of the annual Semiahmoo Bay International Regatta, Canada Day by the Bay and other events.
“Without the White Rock BIA, we wouldn’t enjoy these special events,” said Mayor Ferguson.
“It has become an integral part of our community.”

An Australian View and Stern Declaration...for your information.
November 2009: From Australia
Quote:
"Prime Minister Kevin Rudd - Australia
Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.
Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques.
Quote:
'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.'
'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, Learn the Language!'
'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture..'
'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'
'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.'
'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'
Maybe if we circulate this , American and Canadian citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths."
If you agree, please SEND THIS ON.

Zoo Dilemma in Germany. Berlin Bears Becoming Bald
Berlin Bears Beginning Baldness..- on the news -
Berlin Zoo.
The Germans planning to visit may just be out of luck...the Berlin zoo also depending on tourism, may be facing hard and bald times and changes must most likely be made.
Is there an equivalent to 'Rogaine' for bears? Predicament for sure....will the bears survive a normal hibernation cycle?
Will the bears get too cold and how well will the bald bears negotiate the climate in general?
It's a fact that kids must be stunned. Children and adults alike will be surprised to see bald bears in a German zoo when expecting to see a 'fully dressed, normal looking animal.
The Berlin and all of Germany Public Relations [PR] bear 'per preference', Knut is his name, we haven't heard much about in recent years.
A question entering my mind. Can the dilemma be caused by carbon-dioxide...from the unhealthy air and exhaust emitted by vehicles in this 'capital and cultural centre'.
Berlin is not a carbon-free city. Its residents will have to wait decades before that will be a dream fulfilled.
Hopefully Berlin's bald bears will recover. I must admit bald bears do not look so fine anymore.....and maybe it is a sign of climate changes or hormonal and gene manipulation caused by an unhealthy diet or electromagnetic wireless radiation from cell- and mobile devices.
And as delivered by phone frequency transmission towers and wireless, Wi-Fi, documented by science as emitters of harmful radiation, especially for children and students in schools.
Are the bald bears victims of electromagnetic radiation from wireless communications?
On the right course and bearing.
Yours truly

'Befuddled Important Association-White Rock BIA' - 'the rest of the story'
'The calm is deceiving.
Canada geese flock.
Lift-off is imminent.
Without warning.
Wings over water.
Wings over seas.
Soon in flight."
-Johan Prost
"News of the Day -BIA.
The 'rest of the story'..gory.
Starts here as a name from 2005; to this day of 2009.
Its name 'bia' is not KIA.
No brand of an auto, but perhaps appropriately a 'clamato'; a 'bloody hairy', not Mary."
"A drink to confusion, and for clarity too;
bewilderment to lament....its web site is new, as is the suffix too; .Com is removed for convenience o.... .Ca
Now the key to the latest I give and for you the reader to gain..."
www.WhiteRockBIA.Ca
"Truth, 'violets, martinis in per collage in the photo gives insight', report, has the keys to it all. The locksmith you are.'
"No longer a 'secret' hidden and cuddled by the 'few in the pew' soon in a puddle."
.
"Go public;
Dear Anton, Sandy and Bob and Alicia too;
'spew truth and the wisdom as documents read';
Dear Larry with fortitude you cracked open a door, and once at the door;
you opened it more;
soon with the key for a study much closer than A to Z' which no one can deny."
"Now, one will express;
from many to you and yours;
from your buddies a thank you,
from the depth of our hearts;
you held out like a soldier and did soldier on;
did not waver or yield for the pressures on
; persistence, and justified claims and logic;
Your sacrifice and calm like the geese in the water;
made sense;
kept you going for us;
Leadership counts!"
"A collage of deceit, colourful and smooth;
Shall I take it to Court and Supreme as it is;
Now retired, my cup is half-full, I need to gain power;
for to Court, the Supreme in BC am I called, be prepared;
but soldiering on shall I go;
proud to believe, fairness, justice and honesty shall prevail'
I may not worry or fear and despair, but to swear I do and will;
at the 'needy and selfish, I will;
in Supreme Court of BC when called if I live;
I 'will swear on the book' ;
'defend my honour and blood' and a family name."

Times of Halloween, [warm rain] and Pumpkin Carvings in White Rock, BC
'HEALTHY PUMPKINS'
@ West Beach Bar & Grill 'Pumpkin carving competition'
Photo: Johan Sandstrom www.whiterockreporter.com
This was taken when the ground was wet and the rain , the warm late summer and early autumn rain sprinkled our neighbourhoods.
Kids were dressed warmer and became still wet while admiring the pumpkin carvers attempts to truly excel in their art form; carving in this huge number of pumpkins to see who will win and take home the prizes.
The Marine Drive in White Rock wasn't traveled as it used to be. Plenty of parking spaces and 'dead' was the environment. No more bustling of tourists and local visitors to walk the promenade or have a mocca and a cake or an early afternoon aperitif by the barside.
Maybe visitors have had enough of entertainments for the while being....? Parents may not like pumpkin festivals or carving competitions after all . However, I did discover after having looked around the area of the West Beach Grill, that kids love the challenge both weather and carving could offer each one of the four young ones I noticed, this late afternoon.
It seemed to me that only the dog owners were out this swampy and dreadfully water born environment on the 25th October 2009; I call it the 'wet Sunday' in White Rock, BC, on the 'Canadian Riviera'.
Enjoy.
