Sounding the alarm: Hundreds die each year in fires that go undetected by faulty smoke detectors, which is why Surrey fire chief Len Garis is pushing for change. see page 27

Dan Bottrill says he has resolved his lawsuit with previous city after his position was terminated last year

Ex-Surrey staffer to lead White Rock Alex Browne Staff Reporter

White Rock has a new city manager. Dan Bottrill, a 20-year veteran of municipal government whose most recent position was deputy city manager in Surrey, took up duties Wednesday. He replaces Dennis Back, who was interim

acting manager since Feb. 1, following the sudden resignation of Peggy Clark last December. And while Bottrill filed a statement of claim in B.C. Supreme Court last August seeking damages from the City of Surrey – after the termination of his position in June – he said Wednesday the matter has been resolved,

although he did not give details. “It was unfortunate the city had a reorganization that terminated the position of deputy manager,” he said. “We had a bit of a disagreement, but that was completed last year. There is no difference between us. I have a great relationship with and healthy respect for the City of Surrey.”

Mayor Wayne Baldwin – who served as White Rock’s city manager for 23 years – said he and council are comfortable with the hire after a thorough process that “winnowed down” the field from 113 original applicants, with the help of Back and city human resources director Jacquie Johnstone. see page 4

Residents seek funds

Power struggle Alex Browne Staff Reporter

A total of nine power interruptions that plagued a South Surrey manufactured-home community since early December have spurred some residents to action. Chuck Connors – a member of an ad-hoc ‘executive committee’ of Breakaway Bays residents – delivered some 43 claims for damages to the office of manager Sandy Kowalski earlier this month, following on almost a dozen already submitted independently by unit owners. The new claims total more than $19,600 and seek redress for loss of food that residents say was spoiled when refrigeration units lost power over extended periods, plus various related damages, as well as return of some of the pad see page 8

Jim Foulkes wants to save a 73-year-old tree with regal roots on King George Boulevard near 32 Avenue.

Surrey is planning to cut down a 70-year-old heritage tree in South Surrey to make way for road work, causing angst among residents who say its demise could be avoided. The tree has interesting roots. In 1939, England sent royal oak seedlings to all of its Commonwealth countries to commemorate the coronation of King George VI. The seedlings came from Windsor Great Park, a 5,000-acre park on the border of Surrey, England. Several of the seedlings were planted along the Pacific Highway, from the Pattullo Bridge to the U.S. border. The highway was renamed the King George Highway after a royal visit in 1939. (It was renamed King George Boulevard in 2010). One of the now 50-foot trees near 32 Avenue and 152 Street is slated for possible removal if the city can’t work around it during road improvements. A former member of the city’s Heritage Advisory Commission (HAC) says that could be avoided by siting the road around the tree. Jim Foulkes sat on the HAC for years and says the royal oaks south of the Nicomekl River on King George Boulevard have a special place in Surrey’s history. see page 4

to Guildford, as the shopping centre expanded north of 104 Avenue. Surrey Place was built in Whalley, attracting The Bay and Simpson-Sears. No longer did Surrey residents have to cross a bridge to shop at major department stores. Guildford was an instant success, with lots of shopping traffic. It just kept growing, and the surrounding area developed as time went by. The shopping centre was owned for years by Laing Properties and since 1999 has been owned by Ivanhoe Cambridge, who are now redeveloping the existing buildings, adding additional parking and adding more stores on the south part of the property. Prior to the opening of Guildford, Surrey residents spent a lot of money in other communities, often from necessity. It simply wasn’t possible to get everything in Surrey easily, and there were few large stores. Guildford gave the community a lot of pride and self-confidence. It was central to the rapid development of North Surrey as a residential community, and it was the first Surrey retail complex to attract a large number of shoppers from other communities. In four years, Guildford will mark its 50th anniversary, and that milestone shouldn’t go unnoticed. It’s been a very important part of Surrey’s growing up.

Seniors drivers welcome shift to road test for second chance

Computer reprieve lauded Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

White Rock resident Ralph Johnson was pleased to hear the provincial government changed its mind about a controversial computer test that can strip seniors of their right to drive. The 86-year-old father of four, grandfather of six and great-grandfather of five is one of many critics who have complained about the DriveABLE test that uses a computer touchscreen to determine whether someone is mentally sharp enough to keep driving. Johnson, who passed a medical exam to renew his drivers’ licence two years ago, said he agrees older drivers should be tested to ensure they are physically and mentally up to the demands of driving, but the testing should be done in a doctor’s office and on the road, not with an automated computer program. “I don’t see the logic,” Johnson said Tuesday. “I’d like someone to prove it to me.” Some seniors were quite intimidated by the unfamiliar computer technology used in the test, he said. “They were worried sick about losing their licence.” Up until this week, a driver who flunked DriveABLE did not have the option of taking a road test. Now, Attorney General Shirley Bond has announced that drivers who fail the computer test will have the right to be tested at the wheel before they have to surrender their licences. Bond said Monday that all those who failed the on-screen test in the past six months will be offered a free road test, using a test

White Rock plans workplace policy

City, firefighters talk respect Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock officials are waiting on a thumbs-up from the city’s firefighters before implementing a new ‘respectful workplace policy’. “I want to be sure that they’re comfortable before I roll it out,” human resources director Jacquie Johnstone told council members last week, during a meeting of the city’s governance committee. Johnstone presented the policy as a replacement for the existing ‘workplace harassment policy’. The new document goes beyond addressing complaints of discrimination and harassment to tackle complaints of bullying, disrespectful conduct and inappropriate behaviour, she said. Both of the city’s unions – Canadian Union of Public Employees

and International Association of Firefighters – were provided a copy of the proposed policy. However, while CUPE indicated agreement in January, as of March 12, Johnstone had yet to receive the same from the firefighters. Local 2407 officials had emailed questions regarding the handling of discipline under the policy, Johnstone said. Johnstone said the questions were answered, but she has received no correspondence since expressing the crew’s support or opposition. Johnstone hopes to bring the policy to council April 2 for approval. Changes include more in-depth definitions of discrimination and harassment; a six-month timeframe for the handling of complaints; and an expanded scope that includes elected officials.

Moving tree ‘would cost $80,000’ from page 1 Unfortunately, he said, many have been lost. “The ones that are left are between the Nicomekl River Bridge and 8 Avenue,” Foulkes said in an interview. Foulkes said he was told by an engineering staff member that planners were unaware of the heritage status of the trees and that the road alignment has already been picked.

He also said he’s been told that it would cost $80,000 to move the tree and that there is fibre-optic cable underneath, making it even more expensive to move. The city’s engineering staff are to submit a report to the HAC on March 28 discussing what a tree move would cost and estimating the chances of the tree’s survival if it is relocated. City documents stress the importance of the royal oaks.

“Creating a visual and symbolic break, the trees have become an important part of the landscape along King George Highway, from the Nicomekl River to 8 Avenue,” City of Surrey Heritage Planning files state. “The protection and maintenance of these trees also demonstrates the commitment of the City of Surrey in recognizing and preserving its natural heritage.”

Crash nets top cop a ticket The Vancouver Police Department issued a written statement last week announcing that its deputy chief was fined $167 for causing a fender-bender in South Surrey while making a cellphone call from his vehicle in January. In response to media inquiries about the crash, the VPD said Warren Lemcke was driving home heading south along Highway 99 near the 32 Avenue exit on Jan. 4, when he decided to make what was described as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;work-relatedâ&#x20AC;? phone call. The VPD said that while Lemcke

was looking down at his phone, traffic came to a sudden stop, and he rear-ended the vehicle in front of him. No one was hurt in the collision, but Lemckeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s police car had to be towed because of damage. The couple in the other vehicle was able to drive away from the scene. Officers on the scene issued the senior Vancouver cop a ticket for driving without due care and attention. In the written statement, Lemcke said he takes full responsibil-

ity for the crash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no excuse for a mistake like this and I urge other drivers to keep their attention fully focused on the road ahead,â&#x20AC;? the deputy chief said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The consequences of inattention can be very significant.â&#x20AC;?

editorial

Stadium name blame sullies BC Liberals he ongoing confusion over the botched deal with Telus over naming rights of the refurbished BC Place stadium seems to indicate a provincial government that is having trouble reading its cue cards. In some ways, this isn’t surprising. One year ago, the BC Liberals elected former MLA and talk show host Christy Clark as their leader. While she had served in cabinet up until 2005, she was definitely out of touch with how the province was being governed – particularly in the backrooms of cabinet and caucus meetings, where the real decisions are made. She was brought in as a fresh face after severe public dissatisfaction with the governing BC Liberals, something that came to a crescendo over the HST. Clark at first seemed to stem the tide of dissatisfaction, but the honeymoon didn’t last long. The HST referendum was hanging over the head of the government, and when the controversial tax was defeated, her government lost much of what credibility it had retained. Since that time, it has seemed to lurch from issue to issue, often in a bumbling fashion. The steady work of cabinet ministers is often overshadowed by one controversy or another. The Telus fiasco is a prime case in point. There was no hint that the stadium renaming wasn’t proceeding, until Telus pointedly did not invite the premier (who has a “jobs agenda”) to a press announcement, where it outlined $3 billion of investments in B.C. Notably, NDP leader Adrian Dix was invited. Then the rumours started flying, until the government finally confirmed that it had shelved a deal in which Telus would have paid $35 million over 20 years for naming rights. There were some conflicts over the fact that a prominent B.C. Place user, the Vancouver Whitecaps, is sponsored by a rival phone company, but that didn’t seem insurmountable. Then a whole variety of different stories started flying, and as of this writing, it’s hard to separate fact from innuendo and rumour. It is sufficient to note that the government has snubbed B.C.’s largest private sector employer, caused confusion in professional sports ranks and demonstrated that it can’t make basic decisions in a straightforward manner. None of this inspires confidence.

We put our packs down and waited some more. No bus. At 8 a.m., the little local corner store with the warm Cokes and the cheap rum opened its doors across the street. We queried the clerk: “Does the bus to Manzanillo stop over there?” “Si.” “Does it come on Tuesdays?” “Si.” “Does it usually arrive at 6?” “Si.” “But it hasn’t come yet.” An agreeable nod and a shrug. OK then. Back out to the bus stop. Utterly confused and frustrated, we approached one more passerby, and went through the same round of questions, except this time, we wisely added one more. “Will the bus come here today?” “No.” “Why not?” “Because the bridge to Manzanillo is washed out. The bus cannot go there.” Argh! “Why isn’t there a sign at the bus stop telling people that?” “Everyone knows.” “So how do people get to Manzanillo?” “They walk.” We shouldered our packs, and managed to grab a ride in the back of a truck heading in the right direction. At the washed-out bridge we joined all the other walking villagers. Quite pleasant actually. Much better than a bus. Andrew Holota is editor of the Abbotsford News.

Dog days of White Rock Editor: Sunday was a gorgeous sunny day. When I asked my son, who is 17, where he would like to go for a walk on a wonderful, windy West Coast day, I said to him “north, or south?” He chose south, so White Rock it was. We drove from Richmond, with my dog in the car, all ready for a long walk along the waterfront. I parked in East Beach and grabbed a fantastic cup of coffee, paid for parking and proceeded to gasp at the view – kiteboarders out, tide out, full-on wind, my dog and son out of the car. I marvelled at how lucky we are to live in such a fantastic place! For those of you who live in White Rock, you know how this story ends.

We started on what was going to be a long walk to the pier and back, and had not walked more than three feet, when a woman said “you had better watch out, the ticket guy is there.” As far as I could see, we were doing nothing worth ticketing. And that is when I learned White Rock’s dirty little secret: ‘No dogs’ on the promenade. “Are you kidding?” I asked her. Nope, she show me ‘the sign.’ Obscure and in the parking lot, away from my car. But there it was. To say I was surprised is an understatement. Kilometres of beautiful beach, and I could not enjoy this area with my dog and son. Not wanting to chance a $200 ticket, we went down the stairs and started to walk in the parking lot – thinking I could access the pier further down – where lo and behold we came across many other dogs and owners doing the same thing.

I stopped one of them, and asked where I could rejoin the promenade with my dog. She said nowhere! She said residents are fighting this, and that a few irresponsible people ruined it for the many. I am disgusted that the area that should have public access for all, is not accessible to me and my dog. If you want to ticket people, find ones who have dogs off-leash and employ your bylaw officers to keep the peace. But to prohibit every dog owner from using what is in every other area an accessible walkway along the waterfront is ludicrous. Can you imagine Granville Island, or Stanley Park, or the miles of beaches – Spanish Banks, Kits, Westminster Quay, Steveston – all prohibiting dogs? Only in White Rock is the welcome sign rolled up. I guess next time I ask my son “south or north?” it won’t be south. Reesa Steele, Richmond

Q This dog issue is finishing me off. The dog owners of this city had full use of the East Beach park, but due to their lack of responsibility that privilege was taken away. Why now would we want the same nuisance behaviour on West Beach? Would designating certain dog areas for the owners also be beneficial when they do not obey the posted signs now? I think not. East Beach also provided doggie bags so the owners would pick up after their dogs, yet they still failed to take responsibility. I am a dog lover but must say I was thoroughly disgusted at some dog owners’ lack of responsibility, as not only was doggie doo left behind in the park but also on the beach. Hopefully, history will not repeat itself at West Beach due to pressure put on city council by dog owners. Cheryl Berti, White Rock

quote of note

It’s worth noting that despite the urban legend, police do not have a ‘quota’ of tickets to ﬁll each day.a Stephen Hughes

Driving issues Editor: I feel I’ve been victimized by ICBC. I received a letter out of the blue saying I was required to take a road test. No explanation as to why this was required. It seems my only crime is to have reached the age of 85, but I have a clean record and am of sound mind. I have been driving for at least 60 years, with no accidents or citations. This came as such a shock that it has affected my health. When faced with the tests in a city whose roads are completely unfamiliar to me, I was quite unable to concentrate. All my driving has been in the White Rock area, mostly to church, to the shops and appointments. In view of my past record, I can’t see why I have been singled out for this treatment. If it was a compulsory requirement when one reaches a certain age, I would have no complaint and would expect to comply, but this random selection – with no thought given to past record, medical condition or area driven – is quite unfair. I would like to mention I took two drives with the local driving school, and the instructor couldn’t see anything wrong with my driving. The final insult was delivered this morning when I read the police had stopped a man who was speeding in a school zone only to discover that this man was 100 years old – and he was let off with a warning! I am speechless. Monica Heath, Surrey

Simply doing their job Editor: Re: Overpowering enforcement, March 15 letters. Regarding John Evoy’s letter about police enforcement at an intersection where the lights were out, allow me to offer an opinion. Firstly, police are hired, trained and appointed to enforce the law. They are not out on the road to teach you how to drive. Assuming

File photo

Enforcing the many rules on and off the road has become a hot topic for writers of letters to the editor. you have a valid driver’s licence, you should have a grasp of traffic laws. The truth of the matter is that if there were better drivers on B.C.’s roads, there would be less need for police enforcement of traffic laws. Is writing tickets a high priority? Yes, when the law is being violated. And it’s worth noting that despite the urban legend, police do not have a “quota” of tickets to fill each day. Besides, there are more than enough drivers in the Lower Mainland who don’t know the laws, or simply don’t care about others’ safety, to keep police busy. Witness the persistent use of cellphones by drivers, despite the law against it. Not being aware of the law is not a proper defense. Therefore, drivers should drive carefully and prudently to avoid a violation of a traffic law. In other words, learn the law, obey the law, no ticket – simple and easy. Steven Hughes, White Rock Q Concerning the letter writer who was disgruntled at the police for writing tickets at a power-outed traffic signal at 24 Avenue and 160 Street, the laws concerning traffic protocol at an intersection whose lights are out are clear and simple. You treat it as a four-way stop, and, for cars reaching the crosssection at the exact same time, the car on the right has the right of way. Obviously, some were not adhering to this law and were –

and should have been – ticketed. Perhaps the letter-writer was one of them, or maybe he just didn’t like the police doing their job. Whatever the reason, it’s not enough to malign the police for doing their job, and they do it well. Jim Driscoll, Surrey

Driven to distraction Editor: Every day, I see countless drivers with cellphone in hand driving as though they had never driven before. I’ve seen drivers in stop-and-go traffic stop when traffic went, and go when traffic stopped – only to rear-end the vehicle ahead of them. I’ve seen drivers take turns too wide or too tight and bounce off the curb, narrowly missing pedestrians. I’ve seen drivers stop at green lights, and drive through lights that had been red for 30 seconds or more. I’ve seen drivers change lanes unknowingly – without signaling – and cutting off other drivers. I’ve even seen drivers driving the wrong way on a one-way street. These distracted drivers were of both genders, from all age groups and from all ethnic groups. The one thing they all had in common was that their phones were taking their attention away from driving. Do phones make good drivers bad, or do only bad drivers try to use their phones while they’re driving? Jerry Steinberg, Surrey

Fine for them, not us Editor: Re: Speeders should foot tab, March 15 letters. I agree, that would be wonderful. Too bad the money the RCMP gets from tickets goes to the feds and not us – not that it would amount to much anyhow, as everyone knows the speed limits are rarely enforced along Marine Drive. Sandy Mechefske, White Rock

Nits to pick Editor: Here’s a classic for you. While parked, waiting for my wife to complete her physio session, along comes a parking attendant who proceeds to issue a ticket to the vehicle in the lot beside me. I asked why a ticket was being issued and he said ’cause the vehicle was parked across the white line. The vehicle was parked less than one tire width over the white line. I said to the attendant “don’t you think that’s being a bit nitpicky?” but only received a smile. I mentioned this to the people in the clinic and only received the comment that they really are fussy about parking there. The point I want to emphasize: is it any wonder citizens lose respect for our civic authorities who advocate and allow such moneygrabbing incidents to go on? Gerry Seeley, Surrey

Thursday, March 22, 2012 Peace Arch News News Peace Arch FUTURE SHOP – Correction Notice

news

Residents critical of communication at park from page 1 rental fees and the cost of hotel accommodation and meals during the lengthiest interruptions. Some units in the more-than-40-yearold park were initially without electricity for three chilly days after power suddenly failed on the morning of Saturday, Dec. 3. Connors, fellow committee member Sally Patrick and other residents who’ve spoken to Peace Arch News since December contend that the power interruptions – which stem from failures of an aging in-ground distribution system and turning off power during attempts to fix it – have been compounded by a slow initial response to the problem and lack of communication. A BC Hydro crew investigated the Dec. 3 outage and reported that the Crown corporation can’t fix the problem because it has to do with a failure within the park’s own system. Connors delivered the latest batch of claims to the park office March 9, but was unable to speak to Kowalski. Kowalski did not respond to subsequent requests for comment from PAN by press time Wednesday. Efforts to contact parent company CWS Communities head office representative Joe Sherwood have also been unsuccessful. In a Dec. 7 newsletter delivered to residents, the ‘Breakaway Bays Management Team’ states the power failure was due to “a fault in an underground cable.” “It also led to the discovery of a high-

voltage ‘switch’ problem that has to be addressed,” the letter states, adding that work with a contractor to install new cable to the main feeder box was a “major undertaking” that would require scheduled power outages while work is being done. “We truly regret the impact the electrical problem is having on our residents. We understand how difficult it has been and we are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible.” But Patrick and Connors said there was little or no communication from management in the three days prior to the letter – leading to anger and concerns about resident safety, particularly for seniors and others on fixed incomes who were isolated, disoriented and without heat. Connors said that although some parts of the park had power restored within hours of the initial interruption, about 100 units were without it for days. “We suffered electrical failure all during that time,” Patrick said. “No one came from CWS to talk to us.” Connors said another concern is the length of time it took management to deploy emergency generators in the park. “Once the power outage started on the Saturday, they knew immediately that the problem was not with Hydro,” he said. “Hydro was here at 10:30 a.m. and told them at 10:31 that it was an underground line in the park. They should have brought in generators the same day, because they knew the only way to look for the outages

was to turn off power. They didn’t bring (generators) in for three days.” According to residents, Sherwood met with them in January and eventually agreed they could submit claims to the company – but only individually. “His position (at first) was that nobody was going to get anything, that power outages are common,” Patrick said. “I said, this wasn’t a storm, and… it’s been proven it’s the infrastructure that’s failing – it’s your responsibility.” Patrick said she believes 11 residents have already submitted claims and that some have already been compensated, though the committee has no details – those who have accepted compensation are bound by a non-disclosure agreement at CWS’ request. Connors and Patrick said they know they are going against the company’s wishes in collecting and delivering claims on behalf of residents. Earlier this month, committee members received a warning letter from a lawyer for CWS asking them to stop, but they said they are standing firm. “Out of 300 people affected, you may get 10 or 15 who do something,” Connors explained. “Most don’t know how to, or they’re intimidated.” Connors, a former soft drink company manager, said he will have no hesitation in going to small-claims court to pursue his claim, which includes $200 in meals and $500 in what he described as “punitive damages.”

perspectives …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Founder of Cinemazoo publishes his biography

One wild life Dan Ferguson

Staff Reporter

Erin Cebula, BC Children’s Hospital Spokesperson

s a sickly six-year-old growing up in Toronto, Cinemazoo founder Gary Oliver became fascinated by animals, especially snakes and insects, after he was temporarily paralyzed by rheumatic fever. While he was recovering, the weakened Oliver would watch Wild Kingdom, the television series hosted by zoologist Marlin Perkins, who would famously hang back and narrate the action while sidekick Jim Fowler tackled the physical stuff. “I didn’t want to be Marlin,” Oliver says in his just-published biography, Cinemazoo, My Urban Safari, written with author Wendy Bancroft. “I wanted to be Jim, down in the swamp wrestling the snake.” It would take him several decades to get there. In his book, Oliver describes a career path with many sudden swerves. Among other things, he’s been a fashion photographer, a calvary trooper with the Governor General’s horse guards and a bingo caller at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. There have been a lot of ups and downs. At different times in his life, Oliver has been homeless, a self-employed artists’ studio manager and a well-paid white-collar office worker (as a graphic artist for the National Cash Register company, where he designed logos and business forms), to mention just a few examples. Through it all, Oliver has remained fascinated by things with scales that crawl and slither as well as the more cuddly, furry sort of animals. It was not an obsession everyone in his life has shared. In one passage in his book, Oliver relates how an ex-wife used a can of pesticide to kill some “really cute” snakes in his home terrarium. The book goes on to describe the moment of inspiration that led to the creation of Cinemazoo in Vancouver when a model Oliver knew asked him to update her portfolio by including a few poses with a camera-friendly tabby cat. That was when he got the idea of supplying

His first experience of wrangling animals for “Hollywood North” was the Mel Gibson/ Goldie Hawn comedy-adventure Bird on a Wire. He’s since gone on to supply animals for other films including Look Who’s Talking Now, Sisterhood and Snakes On A Plane. Some Cinemazoo animals have been featured in commercials for companies like Telus, Fido and ICBC, not to mention various music videos and album covers.

In his book, Oliver reveals a few tricks of the animal wrangler’s trade, such as gently steering a tarantula – a spider that hates breezes – using a can of compressed air. “If I do it slowly, he’ll move away slowly. If I give it a good blast, away he goes.” He also writes about working with poisonous snakes, and his decision to be less handson in order to avoid the fate of Steve Irwin, the well-known late Australian television host known as the “Crocodile hunter.” Irwin died in 2006 after being pierced in

the chest by a stingray barb while filming underwater. “I think Steve was an amazing enthusiast about animals − he loved them with a passion that was unbelievable − but he took his chances,” Oliver writes. “I think everyone who knew him expected that he was probably going to go out working with animals.” Oliver has had his own near-misses. He describes how he once used a spray of see page 14

T3 RECOVERY MATTRESSES

Now Available in Canada Ironman Mattresses with Celiant速 and Cellitex速 have been proven in clinical test to reduce pain, increase oxygen levels, and help balance body temperature. Each of these results can have added benefits, including faster healing, increased performance, better quality sleep and improved overall wellness; all of which can help alleviate the symptoms of arthritis and peripheral vascular disease often associated with diabetes. The key to Celliant速 lies in its ability to absorb and store electromagnetic (energy) emissions from the human body and release them where they are reabsorbed into the skin and deep muscle tissue, they act as catalysts for natural, biological processes resulting in enhanced oxygen levels, and more balanced body temperature during sleep, rest or physical activity.

Understanding the Bible

KEN ACTON

It’s Easier than You Think!

• The Bible: Can we really believe it? • Should we take it “literally”? • Who decided which books should comprise Scripture? And on what basis? • Can we really detect a common theme? • No question ‘out of bounds’. Presenter Ellis André

Dr. Ellis André has been a Bible teacher for over 40 years. His passion is to make the truths of the Bible accessible to people for whom Scripture is ‘closed’ or seems confusing.

Written by Ron Larson, Client of Marlin Travel, White Rock You know the feeling when you return from a holiday and it has been so wonderful and so full of marvelous sites and experiences that you feel like you need a vacation. That is what the TC Asia tours have been like. I have e had the great fortune and joy of experiencing three of their tours over the past two years. In 2010 we took our ﬁrst trip to China. What a marvelous experience! The trip was well organized and took us to so many places throughout China. The Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, the Yangtze River cruise, and marvelous Shanghai stand out as memories we will have forever. Our second trip was the East African Safari - an amazing trip through the major Game Reserves of Kenya and Tanzania. When an elephant strolls by your luxury tent at mid-day you know you are on safari in a very big way. The last trip was to Peru in South America. We experienced the cosmopolitan city of Lima, the historic city of Cusco and the ancient a marvel of Machu m Picchu. P These tours have all been h wonderful and w iit is difﬁcult to place one above p tthe other. The organization o of each one is o ccomplete to the llast detail. Experienced and a knowledgeable tour guides shared the marvels of each of the places we toured. We experienced luxurious hotels which are always 4 or 5 star venues. The restaurants were always the very best with an array of meal choices to suit any taste. All transportation was the best available. The TC Asia tours are packed with wonderful sites and experiences. The action is non-stop and if you are like us you will need a holiday when you get home.”

The Surrey Board of Education says new funding announced last week will allow it to better help kids in Surrey who need it most. The province’s $11.2-million Supplement for Vulnerable Students is aimed at augmenting the current CommunityLink program, which helps districts provide things such as meal programs, counselling for at-risk kids, inner-city school programs and schoolbased support workers. Surrey’s portion of the supplemental funding is $3.3 million, nearly doubling the district’s CommunityLink grant for 2012-13 of $3.8 million. “For years, the board and its civic and community partners have pointed out the need for more support for our at-risk students and we’re pleased that the government has finally recognized our needs and acted to address them,” said Surrey Board of Education vicechairperson Shawn Wilson. The Supplement for Vulnerable Students was announced by the government at the same time as the preliminary operating grants for the school year that begins this September. Surrey’s funding is estimated at $557.5 million.

NEW ACCENT WINDOW FASHIONS

White Rock, Surrey see large decreases

Vehicle theft numbers drop Auto theft across the province has dropped by 71 per cent since authorities began using bait cars to thwart the crime. And the statistics, announced last week to launch Auto Crime Enforcement Month, show the impact in White Rock between 2011 and 2003 has been even greater, dropping from 190 reported incidents in 2003 to just 20 in 2011 – an 89 per cent decrease. In Surrey, theft-of-vehicle reports to ICBC dropped 67 per cent over the same time period, from 5,360 in 2003 to 1,780 in

2011. Province-wide, reports of thefts from vehicles have also declined by 64 per cent. The numbers, released by ICBC, show the decline has been steady since the bait car program was introduced. The biggest drop in both communities was seen in the program’s first year, when auto theft reports dropped by 1,330 in Surrey (to 4,030) and by 60 in White Rock (to 130). Officials with the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT) hope the recent

HAD IT WITH DENTURES? Before going to Dr. Nelson, my removable partial denture was loose Àtting. My teeth at the front bottom were crooked. I avoided dentists until I was tormented by a toothache. Implants look and perform like your own teeth. I eat and speak better now. Since I have my ability to chew solid food, nuts or fruits with ease, I enjoy eating. People notice my teeth when I smile because they look whiter and straighter than before. Dr. Nelson is the best dentist I have been to. He explains everything in detail, including the procedure of the implants and any other work he is about to undertake. He must be one of the best at giving anaesthetics with minimal or no pain. All his staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The dental hygienists have improved my brushing and Áossing skills. I have had a good education on oral hygiene from them. I am thankful to Dr. Nelson and his staff. It has been a long time since my teeth are of the best condition. I now will rarely need dental treatment, only regular check-ups. ~ K. Okino

The best and most obvious beneÀt is the enhanced ability to chew and enjoy your food more than you have in years. Dental implants give you back up to 90% of your natural chewing ability again. The painful chewing associated with removable teeth is eliminated because implants put no chewing pressure directly on the gums. The chewing pressures are supported by the implants just like it was with natural tooth roots. Schedule your complimentary consult today! Dr. Nelson will be pleased to evaluate how implants can help you!

addition of commercial vehicles to the fleet of bait cars will further reduce the problem provincewide. ICBC officials thanked motorists who are doing their part to avoid being targeted by auto thieves. “We want to thank drivers who have immobilizers in their vehicles,” senior communications specialist Katalin Taylor states in a news release. “In addition to using an anti-theft device, we can all do our part by parking in secure, well-lit areas, removing valuables, always locking our vehicles and keeping keys in a safe place.”

FUNDING FOR STUDENTS, NOT FOR WAGE HIKES. The BCTF is demanding a 15 per cent wage hike and other beneﬁts that would cost $2 billion and raise taxes for BC families. Virtually all other public sector unions have settled for no wage increases. It’s unacceptable that schools are disrupted and that students and their families are inconvenienced over an unreasonable salary demand in difﬁcult economic times. The union is making claims and demands that simply don’t add up.

BCTF CLAIMS AND DEMANDS

FACT

The union wants more paid time outside the classroom – sick leave for teachers on call, expanded bereavement and discretionary leave.

The government wants more time for teacher training and to ensure that Pro-D days really are for professional development.

The union says all teaching positions should be selected on the basis of seniority.

The government supports seniority but qualiﬁcations must also count so that math teachers teach math, and science teachers teach science.

The union says that teachers who perform poorly in evaluations will be dismissed – ‘one strike and you’re out’.

The government wants to support teacher improvement through a standardized evaluation process.

The union says that government refuses to negotiate.

There has been over a year of negotiations and 78 full bargaining sessions.

The union says that class size limits have been eliminated.

Class size limits will remain in place on all grades across BC.

The union says that BC has 700 fewer special needs teachers.

2100 new teaching assistants have been hired since 2001. And, with a new $165 million Learning Improvement Fund, we will hire more.

It’s time to focus on what matters most in education – BC’s students. That’s why we are focused on per-student funding which is at an all time high, not on wage increases. We all want to do more to make BC’s education system even better. It’s the driving force behind BC’s Education Plan that teachers, parents and students are helping to shape. Teachers care about their students. Parents care about their children’s future.

news Len Garis says residents are failing the fire safety test

Fire chief targets inoperative smoke alarms Kevin Diakiw Black Press

File photo

Len Garis says too many residents have faulty smoke detectors.

Have you ever popped the battery out of your smoke alarm when food overcooks and sets it off? It’s a seemingly harmless practice that could prove deadly. Scores of people are dying needlessly in residential fires in Surrey and across the country every year, simply because their smoke alarms are either broken or have been disabled. And it’s primarily the young, poor, elderly, addicted and aboriginals who are dying in the fires, according to a report published by the University College of the Fraser Valley. The study looked at 50,000 residential fires in Alberta, B.C. and Ontario over a five-year period. Out of those fires, there were 663 deaths – 500 of which (75.4 per cent of the total) were attributable to a non-functioning smoke alarm. Using those numbers, Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis, one of the study’s authors and president of the B.C. Fire Chiefs’ Association, said if every home in Canada had functioning smoke alarms, 69 lives could be saved each year – about 10 in Surrey. The report also showed that in B.C., First Nations people are

more than twice as likely to die in requiring them. a fire. Out of the 137 residential “We just need to change that fires that hit aboriginal homes in B.C.,” Garis said, adding more in this province, five resulted in awareness is needed across the deaths. country. That’s equivalent to 36.5 deaths “It’s obvious (smoke alarms) save per 1,000 structure fires, where the lives,” Garis said. “It’s within our provincial average is 15.1 deaths hands, and I’m not going to say per 1,000 structure it’s going to be easy, fires. ❝It’s obvious (smoke but it’s something we Almost one-third of should stay focused alarms) save the people who died on.” lives.

Get in shape and stay on top of your game

How to prepare for the upcoming golf season Getting back into the swing of things with golf season coming up can be a bit more tricky than anticipated. Fortunately, Dr. Sereena Uppal of Peninsula Village Chiropractic has a few tips to help you get to the top of your game. Like any other physical activity, it’s important to progressively get in shape before jumping into it. “The physical condition of a golfer is one of the most important factors contributing to a successful golf game,” she said. “Which is why it’s important to take preventative measures to reduce the risk of injury.” For golfers, the most common injuries are back pain and golfers elbow, Dr. Uppal said, especially when considering the spinal rotation that goes into a golf swing, and the fact that the speed of the club can reach 160 km/h. “It’s easy to understand how golf puts signiﬁcant biomechanical stress on the body,” she said. “It’s important golfers are mindful of their bodies and follow some basic tips to improve their game and prevent pain.” Some tips Dr. Uppal suggests include

warming up, and cooling down, before and after a game for a full 20 minutes. The warm up and cool down should include gentle stretching and range of motion exercises (for both sides of the body), as well as a brisk walk or gentle jog to loosen the muscles and joints. Strength training exercises should be included in every golfers routine, including core body strength. Also, being ﬂexible aids in preventing injury to the back while removing strain from the upper body, so staying hydrated is imperative for any physical activity. Make sure to drink lots of water during and after a game. Dehydration affects energy levels and physical function, and once thirst hits, dehydration has already begun. And as Dr. Uppal points out, beer does not count. When possible, push the golf cart rather than pull it, and use both shoulder straps on a golf bag. If there is only one strap, make sure to alternate sides frequently. Remember, golf requires long periods of standing. By frequently alternating your weight see page 29

Improve game, prevent pain from page 28 from one foot to another, or resting feet on a golf bag or golf cart can help remove strain from the legs and back. Also, invest in the proper shoes for golďŹ ng and wear orthotics if necessary. Dr. Uppal adds golf shoes with short cleats are the best choice. And of course, get the swing right. Use the right technique based on physical capacity and limits. Adopt a golf swing based on physical and biomechanical capacity. For example, amateurs are better off

adopting a classic golf swing to begin with, as it enables hips to turn as much as the shoulders, minimizing spinal twisting. Lastly, make sure you have fun, Dr. Uppal said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The right attitude is good for performance and your overall health,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chiropractors, like myself, can help prevent back problems by showing you golf exercises and stretches. Should you suffer an injury from golf, a chiropractor can provide treatment for your pain.â&#x20AC;?

Tiller’s Folly’s new album, tour inspired by band’s travels

The road revisited Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

or the title of their latest album, Surrey and White Rock-based acoustic roots giants Tiller’s Folly borrowed an evocative phrase from Frank Delaney’s epic novel, Ireland. Indeed, Go The Road – as a description of the lifestyle of the itinerant storyteller – fits the prolific band’s singer-songwriter Bruce Coughlan – and bandmates Laurence Knight (bass) and Nolan Murray (mandolin) to a T. For them, the road has travelled historic byways of B.C. and the Pacific Northwest; followed Celtic roots all the way back to Scotland and is now, thanks to new manager Brian Smith of Georgia’s Leadership Artists, forging connections with classic American roots styles in heartland USA. That the road also has a few local loops is admirably illustrated by two special album release concerts, including live video recording, March 29 and 30 at 7:30 p.m. at White Rock’s Blue Frog Studios (1328 Johnston Rd.). Joining Tiller’s Folly for the events will be three artists of international repute who also happen to call the Peninsula home: keyboardist Doug Johnson (of Loverboy), famed videographer Gene Greenwood and awardwinning studio engineer Ron Cote. “Gene was picked up on a Stones tour right out of high school in North Van,” said band spokesperson Knight. “He’s worked with everybody in the music business. Even NASCAR wanted him to do a video for them, and he lives right in our neighbourhood. “And Ron, who did the DVD we shot live at the Cannery in Richmond – A Fine Kettle of Fish – recorded a couple of Stevie Ray and Chilliwack records.” Johnson is a long-time friend and musical associate, Knight said. “Doug and I are good buddies, and he was kind enough to ask me to join a jam band he has with Don Wells – we get together a couple of times a month, schedules permitting, to play jazz standards and Steely Dan tunes.” Johnson will fill in some of the piano and string sounds which, thanks to multi-talented

Tiller’s Folly – Nolan Murray, Laurence Knight and Bruce Coughlan – will record two concerts later this month at Blue Frog Studios. producer Joby Baker of Victoria, are found on the album. “Doug is such an incredible musician – he was going to play on three songs and now he’s playing six,” said Knight, who added one will be a special piano feature for the versatile Johnson. “We picked on a tune where Doug’s going to burn – an old Bob Wills piece called Panhandle Rag, on which Doug can get some of his chops out. We’re excited.” Aim of the two sessions at Blue Frog is to produce four or five ‘viral’ videos and perhaps provide material for an eventual DVD release, Knight said. The Go The Road album, itself, has a series of guest artists who have been described as “a who’s who of acoustic music.” Foremost among them are John Cowan (currently of the Doobie Brothers) and Sam Bush, both of Newgrass Revival. “We caught up to the band late, but they became a favourite of Tiller’s Folly in the

early 2000s,” Knight said. “To have Sam and John singing together for the first time in years, with Bruce, is a real thrill.” Other guest star turns on Go The Road include accordionist and Scottish Music Hall of Fame member Phil Cunningham, ace Dobro player Randy Kohrs, singer Cia Cherryholmes (of the Cherryholmes), frequent Bush and Cowan band members Scott Vestal and Jeff Autry, Josh Shilling (Mountain Heart) and Ronnie McCoury (The Del McCoury Band, The Travellin’ McCourys). The guest list came together quite naturally and organically out of contacts the band has made on the U.S. scene, Knight said, spurred by the fact that their original choice for a fourth band member for the album, a local guitarist, “had some kind of life-altering change and cancelled out.” Knight said the band is amazed and flattered that so many artists insisted they wanted to participate in their music.

But next week’s concerts will definitely shine the spotlight on the core and heart of Tiller’s Folly – the combined talents of Coughlan, Nolan and Knight, who have worked together for 12 years now. Knight acknowledges he has stepped up his game by playing upright bass on all of the tracks, at the urging of producer Baker. “He’s such a talented guy, he’s the reason I hung up my producer’s hat,’ he said. The album also benefits from Nolan’s “musicality,” Knight said, noting that he recently had a ‘Mando-caster’ – essentially an electronic mandolin – handmade for him. “We thought he played fast before – now he’s just burning,” Knight said. “And Bruce constantly challenges us with new repertoire. He’s writing so many songs now and to such a high level, that the record really came together quickly.” Tickets ($35) are available from 604-5423055, or www.bluefrogstudios.ca

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Erik Fougner battles injury to return – briefly – to the court

‘I had my moment’ Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

he stat line, printed near the bottom of the box score at the end of the basketball game, was unremarkable. It suggested the type of performance one might expect from a bench-warming underclassman, thrown into the game by a coach in the mean-nothing minutes of a blowout victory. Even the most ardent hoops fan would have trouble discerning much more of note from the single line of type that followed Erik Fougner’s name: 0/1 FG, 0/1 3PT, 0 PTS, 0 REB, 0:35 MIN In layman’s terms, it meant Erik, a Grade 12 forward with the White Rock Christian Academy Warriors, was credited with two shots that both missed, in 35 seconds of playing time (though both he and coach Dale Shury insist the game clock read 58 seconds when he subbed into the game). The Grade 12 forward has had better games, of course. He’s scored more, and rebounded better, and played a more integral role in his team’s fortunes. And, without doubt, he’s had games where he’s hit the court for longer than the one minute of action – give or take a few ticks – that he saw last week, at the tail-end of the second quarter during WRCA’s win over the Mount Baker Wild on the opening day of BC High School Boys Basketball Championships March 13. But still, he’s hard-pressed to remember a game that meant more to him. After all, any stat line beats the three-letter acronym that had been attached to his name since the Warriors first took the court last fall: DNP (Did Not Play). ••• On the second day of the provincial tournament at the Langley Events Centre – shortly after White Rock had dispatched higher-seeded St. George’s Saints in a onepoint overtime game that ended as one of the week’s most thrilling – Shury talked to his team about moments. “That’s what this tournament is all about,” he told his team. “It’s not always about winning everything. It’s about all the little moments along the way. You guys now have your little place in history at this

tournament, because it’s these overtime games that get talked about for years.” He was talking, of course, to all 16 of his players, but one – Erik Fougner – did not have to be convinced. Erik’s moment came the day before in his brief appearance against Mount Baker. ••• Erik is the third son in his family to play basketball at WRCA.

Eagles one win away from Round 2 The Surrey Eagles are one win away from the second round, after a goal- and penalty-filled 7-5 win over the Cowichan Capitals Tuesday night on Vancouver Island. Sean McGovern and Michael

Stenerson, on a penalty shot, each had a goal and an assist for Surrey, while Beau Orser, Brandon Tanev, Demico Hannoun, and Brandon and Tyler Morley also scored. Surrey connected twice on

the power-play and once shorthanded, while the Caps scored three with the man-advantage, in a game that included a total of 19 power plays, one game misconduct (Brandon Morley) for a check-from-behind,

and four misconducts – two to each team – after the final horn sounded. The Eagles lead the best-ofseven series 3-1, with Game 5 tonight (Thursday) at 7 p.m. in South Surrey.

Injured forward hopes to play college hoops from page 35 various years. Before this year, Erik was already listed alongside Rob and Brian, by virtue of a 2008 appearance when, as a Grade 8, former WRCA coach Scott Allen threw him on a court for a few minutes so he’d get the chance to play with Brian, a senior. And while it was a nice moment, it was still not the same as playing as a senior. He didn’t get the chance last year, as a Grade 11, because WRCA failed to qualify for provincials for the first time in 12 years. It’s why, in the days leading up to White Rock’s opening game of the provincials, Erik told his coach he wanted in. “Because he’d had played before as a Grade 8, I guess I kind of took it for granted that it wasn’t all that important to him, but I guess I was wrong,” Shury said. Shury didn’t make any promises, because he knew it might be one he’d have to break. Though Erik is recovering, he is still

not medically cleared, and could not risk being stuck out on the court for long. With coaches not allowed to make substitutions after timeouts, Erik had to hope there would be stoppage with a minute or so left in a quarter, so he could be subbed out when the clock ran out. The opportunity came before halftime, with WRCA enjoying a double-digit lead. Shury told Erik he was in, and he was to replace Alex Filipovic. “Alex looked at me, and I think he was a little confused at first,” Erik explained. “I felt comfortable out there right away, though. I felt like myself again.” Before the buzzer ended the half, he managed two shots – one a three-point attempt. And though both missed, Erik didn’t much care. As he made his way under the bleachers, on his way to the locker room for halftime, he walked up to Shury, wrapped him up in a big hug, and said, ‘thanks, coach.’”

He wasn’t the only Fougner to thank Shury, either. After the game, Bruce wandered down towards the court and mouthed the words. “I didn’t realize how much it meant,” Shury said. •• • WRCA finished third at provincials, and Erik never saw another second of playing time before his high school career ended. He has about two months of rehab left on his injured knee, after which he plans on attending Queen’s University, where he will try to walk on to the basketball team. But all that will come in time. For now, he’s still relishing his 58 seconds of glory. “My brothers went through the program, and this was something I’d been looking forward to my whole life, so I’m over the moon with the minute I played,” Erik said. “I didn’t think I’d ever get in. I got my moment.”

Portrait Homes named top builder in Canada

Local builder wins AVID Award Portrait Homes has long had a reputation for building amazing homes and delivering great value. They were recently the recipients of multiple Georgie Awards from the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of British Columbia, including two Customer Choice awards. Now they are being honoured again with the Avid Diamond Award for the Best Customer Experience in Canada. “This is truly an outstanding achievement and honour for Portrait Homes to be given this award,” says Vice-President of Sales and Marketing Troy Steine. “It’s been made possible by the unwavering dedication and

commitment from each and every one of the Portrait Homes team.” The annual Avid Awards honour the best builders across Canada for providing great customer service, and base their awards on feedback from homeowners. This year, over 97 per cent of Portrait home buyers said they would recommend the company. Steine is extremely proud of this statistic. “Providing an outstanding customer experience is the strength that allows Portrait Homes to flourish in a competitive market and positions us as the builder of choice in today’s real estate market,” he says.

The bathrooms are luxurious, with thick granite countertops, polished chrome or satin nickel bath fixtures and hardware and mosaic ceramic tile surounds on the bath and shower. The high-quality laminate flooring featured throughout the main floor is durable and ready to take the pounding of any number of feet, while the thick carpeting on the upper floor is a cozy detail that you’ll love to sink your feet into in the morning. Another

thoughtful detail is the built-in wire closet shelving, so you’ll easily be able to unpack as soon as you get your keys. A wide range of demographics have been interested in South Arm Gardens, Lawson says. Buyers will be able to take possession of their new homes in late April or early May. Homes at South Arm Gardens start at $499,000. For more information check out www.southarmgardens.com or call 604-998-4526.

‘A location that can’t be beat’

Richmond welcoming South Arm Gardens by Kerry Vital

The South Arm neighbourhood of Richmond is full of parks, shops and recreation, so it should be no surprise that the area is proud to welcome its newest development, South Arm Gardens. Built by the Kraftsmen Group of Companies and with 15 townhomes in the development, South Arm Gardens has the feel of an exclusive little community. “These are wonderful homes at a terrific value and in a location that can’t be beat,” says Sean Lawson, president of Steveston Real Estate. “South Arm Gardens offers an affordable way to get into the market in one of Richmond’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.” Seven different floorplans and three different designer-selected colour schemes give you plenty of options for finding the home that fits you best, and with the private fenced yards that are included with every home and beautiful landscaping, your outdoor space will make an amazing first impression. Inside, the nine-foot ceilings on the main level and oversized windows contribute to the overriding sense of space, no matter what room you’re in. Those oversized windows allow plenty of natural light to shine in, so your home will never feel dark even in the worst weather. Many of the homes are built with an open-plan layout that is perfect for entertaining, and the convenient kitchen islands in most

plans provide extra storage and counter space. Crown moulding throughout is one of the little details that make these homes so amazing, along with large 5 1/4-inch baseboards on the main floor and 4 1/4-inch baseboards on the upper floors. The kitchens showcase chefinspired touches, such as stainlesssteel appliances and custom-crafted cabinets complemented by natural granite countertops. Adjustable overhead halogen track lighting and ceiling pot lights ensure you have the perfect amount of light while prepping and cooking, and a hand-set ceramic tile backsplash lends a touch of sophisticated elegance to the room.

“

These are wonderful homes at a terriﬁc value,” says Sean Lawson, president of Steveston Real Estate.

Connecting Sellers & Buyers

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking of selling your home, how you â&#x20AC;&#x153;positionâ&#x20AC;? it can mean the difference between getting a fast, top dollar sale, and having it sit on the market for a long time. First impressions are lasting. Look at your home as if you were driving up to it for the ďŹ rst time. What does the home look like? The driveway? The lawn or landscaping? Pay particular attention to the entry walkway and the front door area. Make sure all curtains are open and lights are on. Get rid of any odors. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a big turn-off. Smoking and pets are the most likely cause. Have carpets cleaned and home deodorized before showing it. A coat of paint in critical areas (kitchen, master bedroom and baths) can do wonders to change the appearance and make the home look more valuable. Get rid of that clutter! The way you live in a home, and the way you SELL a home are two different things. You have to move anyway, so pack up all your clutter and get it out of the way. An uncluttered home looks bigger and more appealing. Make your home look like a model home.
