Former MLA billed university for provincial party fundraisers
Liberals to return Hurd’s donations Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter
There was no rule against using Simon Fraser University funds for political donations when Wilf Hurd, SFU’s director of government relations, gave SFU money to the BC Liberals. But now, there will be a policy against it, following a report in the Vancouver Sun newspaper this week that the former SurreyWhite Rock Liberal MLA used university money to make $2,045 in donations to seven BC Liberal party fundraisers. According to the report, the payments were made over a period of just over a month this year. They included, among other things, $1,000 for six tickets to an event staged by Liberal MLA and former cabinet minister Harry Bloy (Burnaby-Lougheed) and a $350 contribution to deputy Speaker Linda Reid (Richmond East).

Stop-work orders have been lifted from a half-built White Rock house that ran afoul of city tree-protection rules. A city building inspector slapped the orders on the three-storey, three-garage house in the 14100-block of Wheatley Avenue on Feb. 24, after owners Ruby and Daljeet Deol cut down a protected Pacific Dogwood tree in their front yard. After the city shut down construction of their dream home, the couple picketed White Rock city hall, saying the tree was cut down by mistake and the city was being unreasonable. Work on the house resumed in midMarch after a lawyer hired by the Deols wrote the city to say the municipality cannot use construction-safety regulations to enforce a tree-protection bylaw. However, White Rock director of planning and development services Paul Stanton told Peace Arch News this week the city “absolutely” disagrees with the legal opinion, but decided to settle to avoid a drawn-out court battle. “If you cut a tree and cut the root, it can make a dangerous tree and it becomes a safety issue,” Stanton said Monday. The city has fined the Deols $1,500 and is refusing to refund a $4,000 deposit they paid as a tree-protection bond. The money will be used to replace the cut-down Dogwood, Stanton said. “The city takes the money and puts it into planting trees elsewhere.” When the stop-work orders were issued, Stanton noted Metro Vancouver cities are fighting a trend where homeowners ignore bylaws to cut down protected trees in order to clear space or open up a view, considering the fines as a form of fees. Stanton told PAN the Deols won permission to demolish the existing older house on the view slope facing the ocean see page 4

No one disagrees with the premise that transit should be encouraged. The challenge is where do the funds come from, and how can transit be improved substantially south of the Fraser. There also needs to be a realization that many people must use their cars on a daily basis, and goods need to be transported by truck. Most Surrey residents will use transit, at least occasionally, if it is convenient. The trouble is, it rarely is. This is particularly true for anyone who lives more than a block off one of the few arterial roads that has good bus service. The South Fraser Perimeter Road has been in the discussion stages for more than 20 years. At last it is being built. It comes none too soon, as port traffic has increased substantially and Surrey and other South Fraser communities have grown rapidly. Why can’t it serve the main purpose for which it was built - to move commerce more quickly and efficiently? Why is it being suggested as a commuter route even before it opens? Why would any politician seriously suggest that more drivers head to the Pattullo Bridge? This will not help speed commerce and ease congestion. Instead, the new road will become another on the long list of traffic hot spots that traffic reporters chatter about on a daily basis. It’s the Lower Mainland approach to moving traffic.

news 447 homes planned as builders plan to restore six historic structures on the Cloverdale property
Bose Farm developments inch forward Kevin Diakiw Black Press

The Bose Farm in Cloverdale.
Two massive developments planned for the historic Bose Farm have appeared before Surrey’s heritage watchdog in the last two months for review of builders’ plans to rescue historic buildings on the site. John Rempel is building 253 apartments on the west side of the site at 16420 64 Ave., while the Platinum Group is working to construct 80 homes and 114 townhomes on the east side. Both developers are planning to save three heritage buildings, one of which is 114 years old. In February, the city’s Heritage Advisory Com-
mission (HAC) reviewed the plan by Platinum Development, which includes rezoning the property from agricultural to residential for up to 15 units per acre. The development also calls for the rescue of three heritage buildings on the property, including one of the farmhouses, a barn and a milk cooling shed. Due to the precarious condition of the farmhouse, the builders will be pulling it down and restoring it, using historically accurate materials, according to minutes from the HAC meeting. And the shed from the site will be repurposed as a single-car garage on the same lot as the reconstructed farmhouse.
According to minutes, the commission liked the concept and that the developer was “heritage friendly.” The HAC wanted the applicant to prepare and implement an interpretation program for the site. Some members also expressed concern that the calf barn wouldn’t be readily visible from the street. Then on March 28, Rempel brought forward his plan to save three structures, including a farmhouse, the dairy building and 1936 barn. He was at the HAC in March looking to amend his agreement to restore only the 1936 barn. The Rempel application could be back before council as soon as April 26.
Teen detained over pellet gun A report of a gun at Semiahmoo Secondary Wednesday morning ended with a 13-year-old boy detained by police. Officers raced to the high school following a 10:45 a.m. report of a student with a possible firearm. Cpl. Barb Creighton said police moved quickly, identifying the student and seizing a handgun-style pellet gun. She did not know if the clear-plastic gun was loaded. “From the time they called us to when it was diffused, it was 10 minutes,” Creighton said, noting the youth did not threaten other students, and no one was in danger. School district spokesman Doug Strachan said the incident unfolded between classes, and was dealt with quickly enough to avoid locking down the school, at 1785 148 St. “A safety report was ready to go but not initiated because the police reported they had him in custody,” he said. “It never got to that point.” Both Creighton and Strachan described bringing a weapon to school as “a bad decision.” The teen will not be criminally charged, Creighton said, noting any punishment to be levied will be determined at the school level. Strachan could not say what that might be, but noted officials “will have some discussion with (the student) and his parents.” – Tracy Holmes
Intruder alert White Rock RCMP are warning residents to make sure they know who they invite into their homes, following the brazen afternoon robbery of a senior last month. Const. Janelle Shoihet said Tuesday that police were called to the 14900-block of North Bluff Road after an elderly woman realized she had been robbed by a man who purported to be “a long-lost relative” on March 23. The man knocked on the senior’s door, confirmed his last name matched the resident’s and accepted an invitation to come in. “Once inside the apartment, the male distracted the 89-year-old resident by asking her for some tea and a snack, at which point he went into her purse and stole a large amount of cash,” Shoihet said. The thief is described as a Caucasian male, approximately age 28. – Tracy Holmes

Senga Fullam and Geoff Giffin say they’ve been waiting for years to get the City of White Rock to enforce the cleanup of a derelict property.
Advise owners ‘there’ll be no forgiveness’: mayor
City vows action on condemned homes Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A White Rock couple who say they’ve been “quietly” waiting for years for city officials to deal with a derelict property turned the volume up on their dissatisfaction Monday. But while council gave unanimous support to enforcing a cleanup of the site as soon as possible – with or without support of the absentee owner – Geoff Giffin and Senga Fullam say they’re not holding their breath. “Are we optimistic? I would say guardedly,” Giffin said Tuesday. “I think we need to keep the pressure on until the buildings are actually gone. Until it’s gone, I will remain suspicious.” Giffin and Fullam, whose property is immediately north of the Stevens Street lot in question, brought photos, a neighbourhood petition and a request for a “tax vacation” to their April 2 delegation before council. “The city is required by its charter to protect and preserve the quality of our neighbourhood,” Giffin told Peace Arch News prior to the meeting. “Why shouldn’t we ask for relief on our taxes until that happens?” Disgust at what the couple have been dealing with was audible during the presentation, in which Giffin detailed a mess.
The property – home to two small, unoccupied houses – is strewn with garbage, much of which has been pulled from a waist-high pile that fills one of the buildings. Both structures are health and fire hazards that have attracted vermin, more garbage and transients who scavenge for anything useful, then leave what they don’t want in their wake, Giffin said. Despite repeated complaints – and the city’s own condemnation of the buildings – nothing has been done to force the owner to clean up, Giffin said, noting he and Fullam were told in January that the owner had been given 30 days to address the problem. In March, they heard action was “imminent.” “We’re now in April and nothing’s happened,” he told council, noting Fullam has been talking to the city “at one level or another, for years.” “Years is too long for a situation like this to persist,” he said. “It’s getting a little scary.” A staff report notes complaints regarding the property date back to 1998. In presenting the report, Paul Stanton, the city’s director of planning and development services, told council staff have been “giving their time consistently” to the problem for the past few years. Fines levied against the owner of 1029/1037 Stevens St. for violation of the city’s unsightly-
premises bylaw date back to 2010, and remain unpaid, Stanton said. A demolition permit was issued March 22 – and work was to get underway this week – but the owners had taken no action as of yesterday. Stanton asked council to direct staff to impose remedial action in accordance with the Community Charter, including advising the owners – identified by the city as Taiwan residents Chi T. Tsang and Chen-Hung Tsang – that if the work isn’t done by May 4, the city will undertake the necessary steps and then bill for the work. Stanton noted the threat of the city undertaking the demolition does not tend to go far in such circumstances. However, the authority the city will have to force the property’s sale – including choose the selling price – in order to recover its costs does carry weight. “(The owner) could lose significantly if the city forces the sale,” Stanton said. Council voted unanimously to direct staff to proceed with notifying the property owner of the May 4 deadline, and to move on demolition and cleanup in the event it is ignored. Mayor Wayne Baldwin was adamant that the owner “know without a doubt there’ll be no forgiveness, and that on May 4, we… take the sucker down.”

‘We’re not trying to bulldoze city’ from page 1 by agreeing to alter their building design to save the older trees, yet they continued to press for removal of the Dogwood. Ruby Deol said this week that she and her husband were taken aback by the critical letters to the editor their story generated. “I don’t think anyone understands the situation,� Deol said. “We’re not trying to bulldoze over the city.� She said the family substantially altered the design of the house to preserve five old-growth trees on the lot, including the one that
was cut down, and that an expert they hired to look after the trees failed to notice one would block the house entrance until construction was well underway. As well, she said, the family was led to believe by a City of White Rock staffer that they could apply to the provincial government for permission to remove their tree. Based on that, they applied for and received what is called a timbermark, a letter/number code that certifies ownership. A timbermark does not grant the authority to cut timber, only transport a log from a lot.
The impasse over the tree cutting has put construction of their new home behind schedule. “We’re still trying to catch up,� Deol told PAN Monday. “We just wasted a lot of money and time that we don’t have.� She says they are behind on paying contractors because the agreement with their financial institution won’t release money until the house is nearer completion. Deol’s advice to anyone building a home is to do their own research about tree regulations. “You really have to know your bylaws really well.�
Liberal calls gifts ‘inappropriate’ from page 1 While accepting donations from publicly funded organizations is not illegal, Pederson said it violates party rules. “Our policies are quite clear,� Pederson told PAN. “It’s inappropriate.� Pederson added that if the SFU investigation discovers similar donations were made to the rival NDP, he hoped the other party would also refund the money.
The New Democrats did not immediately respond to a PAN request for comment. When Hurd was named director of government relations at the university in 2002, he was quoted in the written announcement saying he planned to use his connections from his political past to promote the interests of SFU. “I have a lot of contacts in both Ottawa and Victoria, so I’m hopeful I can use those contacts on
behalf of the university� he said. Hurd was first elected as MLA for Surrey-White Rock in 1991 and re-elected in 1996. He served as opposition critic for forests and universities before stepping down to run in the 1997 federal election for the Liberals in South Surrey-White RockLangley, where he lost to Reform candidate Val Meredith. Hurd’s resignation created a vacancy filled by Gordon Hogg.

editorial
A-musing he will go
T
aken at face value, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon’s bemusement over the Legislature press gallery’s reaction to his noncommittal comments about next year’s general election is well-timed – and amusing – damage control. The Surrey-Cloverdale MLA’s remarks came in response to questions stemming from the defection of Abbotsford MLA John van Dongen from the BC Liberals to the Conservatives. Reporters asked last week if Falcon would run in the May 14, 2013 fixed-date election. His response: family priorities might take precedence over any political aspirations. “As minister of finance, there are very, very long hours, there is travel, these are issues that you also have to factor into the final decision…” Not unexpectedly, one would think, this kicked off speculation on what it meant to the party’s – and specifically Premier Christy Clark’s – future. “They ran with scissors on this,” Falcon told Peace Arch News the next day, noting he goes through the same process before every election. After all, shouldn’t family – as Clark often suggests – come first? Besides, what incumbent commits to running 14 months prior to voting day? Many, it turns out. With good reason. When we cast our ballots for political representation, we are investing in our future. At all levels, we seek visionaries with both longand short-term goals to better serve us. There are exceptions; soon-to-retire legislators are returned to office to finish the job, and the occasional first-timer gets in at an advanced age, when a single term is all that’s likely. And, of course, there are no guarantees our fellow voters will see things our way. Or party leaders, for that matter. But then, these are factors ultimately beyond the individual politician’s control. Personal commitment to the job is not. The minister of finance, it must be noted, is the architect of the annual budget, projecting our economic needs well into the future. If Falcon can’t commit, Clark must find someone who will. Indeed, did Falcon not factor in that the premier’s job – which he campaigned for last year – also comes with long hours? During that divisive campaign, Falcon repeatedly stated he would be running in the next election, win or lose. What has changed? Unlike a ministerial position or the premiership, there are many job opportunities in Falcon’s constituency that require little, if any, long-term commitment; most, however, offer nowhere near the influence and wages, as voters can attest. Wonder which of these aforementioned positions Falcon is eyeing next.

yes 76% no 24% 89 responding public outrage that all but eradicated the Tories and kept them from governing the country again until Stephen Harper took control. No matter what the gender, history is not kind to any political leader who has an unpopular predecessor. This is not to suggest that Clark’s defeat is inevitable, just that her odds aren’t good. A look at Margaret Thatcher’s career shows success is possible under less-thanideal circumstances. Thatcher took over the Conservatives in Great Britain following their 1974 defeat. By promising a fresh start, she was able, in five years, to lead the party from the wilderness of opposition to become the first woman prime minister in British history. Thatcher had the support of the men who ran the party until her popularity began to slip and she was forced to resign. On the other hand, there is Carole James, who won the leadership of the BC NDP in 2003 after the Liberals reduced them to only two seats. James rebuilt the party, boosting its share of the vote and the number of seats in the legislature. But though she came close, James couldn’t command enough support at the polls to form a government. She paid the price for coming up short in the shape of an internal uprising by party members of both genders which forced her resignation. James, and Johnston, and Campbell, are cautionary tales for Clark, the kind of history she can’t afford to repeat. Dan Ferguson is a reporter at the Peace Arch News.

A labour of love Editor: Re: And who did you say you were?, March 29. Columnist Pauline Buck’s article on Alzheimer’s was right on. Welcome to the wonderful world of Alzheimer’s. It’s your choice what the future holds – yours to decide about the level of care and love. At this stage, you certainly have a good understanding of what is happening. It is most certainly a roller-coaster experience I can tell you, from 21 years of at-home care of my wife, caregiving for your Alzheimer’s partner, though a tiresome and difficult task, can provide many moments of joy along the way and is not the impossible task it is made out to be. People will tell you “he should be in a home” and “you have to let go.” Don’t listen to the naysayers. Indeed, it is a labour of love. George D. McAbney, Surrey
wireless meter is to give up control over one’s own environment. How can one feel secure in their home knowing the signal emitted by these meters is completely out of our control and can be changed remotely? To allow a device on our homes that has the ability not only to spy on us but to profoundly upset the electrical communication of our cells is not smart. To trust a corporation/government that says, “yes but we would never do any of that,” is to trust blindly, and to disregard history. We should and must say no to a wireless meter. And if you are already in the unfortunate position of having one you should demand that it be removed and replaced. I am sure that in the interest of democracy, our health and security, our MLA’s, premier, and mayors would love to hear from you. Tanesa Kiso, White Rock
A worthy sacrifice Editor: With the passage of Bill 22, teachers, like myself, are now considering withdrawing their volunteer services. The voices of my students are the most valuable to me. I hear many students understand the cause, but some feel teachers are unnecessarily involving them in this dispute. To students, parents, and the general public, please understand that with the passage of Bill 22, teachers do not have any legal means of voicing their discontent with this draconian bill except to withdraw from extracurricular activities. It is important for us to protest against the concessions
the government has imposed on students and teachers because they will affect all public school students negatively. Bill 22 will allow for a detrimental increase in class size and composition in all B.C. classrooms. More students and more special needs mean less teacher attention for all students and, as a result, less time for learning to occur. Thus, unless the government comes to its senses and repeals Bill 22 before any further job action is taken, it is impossible to remove students from this plight. By withdrawing from voluntary extracurricular services, teachers and, ultimately, those students affected by the withdrawal are advocating on behalf of all public school students. Is this not a sacrifice worth honouring? D. McDonough, Surrey

Many are getting smarter Editor: Re: Little control over emittance, March 26 letters. Letter-writer Bernard Abelson is right; most homes do have EMR-emitting devices. But does that make it OK to impose the additional health risk of constant smart-meter radiation on everyone? Following input from publichealth officials, physicians’ groups, civil rights and privacy advocates and many, many individuals, Californians now have the right to say no to a smart meter. So far, at least a dozen U.S. states and one province are reversing policy and allowing the choice to opt-out. Analog meters are being reinstalled. In the U.K., smart meters have been declared optional and it has been proposed that the meters carry a health warning. Thirty-eight local governments, representing nearly half the population of B.C., have demanded the province stop forcing smart meters on customers. Evidence grows, people listen, attitudes change. People in B.C. deserve the choice to make their own health decisions. Arlene Rubin, Surrey, Q Please stop assuming that people who continue to refuse the smart meter are hypocrites – complaining about the smart meters but using wireless devices. More and more of us are converting back to a safer way of accessing technology, as in plugging everything in and using our cellphones sparingly. A local yoga studio has recently completely wired their new premises due to health concerns regarding the radiation from wireless devices. With regards to smart meters, where is our freedom to choose, and what do we do if our neighbours’ meter is making us sick? To allow a

Letter-writers respond after Aart Looye questioned whether Surrey listens to the advice it sought on a new pool.
Making money isn’t the objective Editor: Re: Public Pool consultation criticized, March 20. When I read the article on the plans for the Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre, I had to wonder about Surrey Coun. Tom Gill’s comment, “there is no question that this pool can accommodate competitions.” How many national and international events has Gill run in his life? I have many years experience as competition manager for national, international as well as local events and provincial diving events. As there are not any facilities nearby that are capable of running international or national events – other than the Commonwealth Games Pool in Victoria – my experience comes from running these events in other provinces. If the aquatic centre goes forward with only the 50-metre pool as suggested – I speak for the sport of diving only – we will not be able to host a world-class event without renting the entire facility. This will be very expensive for the hosting committee and probably not within our budget. Also, this will mean other user groups and the public will be out of the pool for the duration of the competition – never a good situation. Programs are so booked that renting the facility and displacing the public programs is not accepted. The larger pool plan of 75 metres or a separate swim tank will allow public use and other user groups to continue while hosting a major world-class event. Gill said, “Pools have generally been money-losers for municipalities.” There is no dispute that these facilities are not money-makers, but they will make a world of difference through providing fitness and sports programs that have not been available to this community before. World-class swimming, diving, water polo and synchronized swimming programs will flourish, and we will give our city a name for providing world-class
facilities and nurturing Canada’s future Olympians. This will also help get a lot of children off the streets and into sports programs in the community. Many athletes have to travel all over the Lower Mainland or country in order to practise their sport. This facility will give them the opportunity to train right in their own community. Healthier lifestyles will save the government on health care in the future. Also, hosting world-class events will bring in tourist dollars that have not been available in Surrey before. Hopefully the council will take to heart the facts that the experts in the field are saying and consider providing a facility that will be able to host events and accommodate our growing city for the future. Jayne McDonald, BC Diving, Surrey Q Coun. Tom Gill’s comment that “pools have generally been money-losers” seems to be showing some ignorance with respect to the purpose of public pools. Perhaps it should be pointed out that parks are money-losers. Last time I looked, there are in excess of 600 parks and or green belts in the City of Surrey. And isn’t the City of Surrey known as the City of Parks. Gary Browne, Surrey
More than muscle matters It seems some of the sports groups are not happy with a 50-metre pool at the cost of $53 million. Arts and culture groups would jump with joy if any government would spend $53 million on an arts centre. Of course, it is very important to exercise your muscle, but it is equally important to exercise your mind. I do hope that one day, arts and culture would get equal funding with the sports.

20-year deal for Surrey RCMP Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Surrey is entering into a contract with the RCMP for another 20 years. Surrey council Monday evening gave staff the go-ahead to sign a deal to keep the Mounties in the city until March 31, 2032. The contract contains a two-year opt out and an enhanced five-year review of services. The Surrey RCMP detachment – the largest in Canada – has 661 officers and 250 support staff. Coun. Linda Hepner said she’s happy the city will be keeping the Mounties. “I’m pleased that we’re continuing with the RCMP, for sure,” Hepner said. “And I like some of the things that we heard from the city manager in terms of some of the costs, (which) may actually go down in future years.” Those cost savings for the city will be
seen in what it pays for training RCMP officers. Under the new contract, municipalities will continue to pay for 90 per cent of the costs, with the federal government paying 10 per cent. With integrated forces, such as the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, the costs will be 70 per cent for municipalities. The province is establishing a committee to ensure new costs aren’t dumped on municipalities without justification. In addition, Surrey will have a say in who the top cop will be. Currently, Surrey pays about $101 million annually for RCMP services. Although provisions in the new agreement will result in a cost increase of 1.6 per cent over the next three years, these increases will be offset by other changes currently under review by the province.

ichelle Chen remembers wondering why the moon followed her when she was a child. She believed it meant she was destined to do something extraordinary. And judging by response to the Semiahmoo Secondary alumna’s entry into a contest where the grand prize is a trip into space, that “something extraordinary” just might become reality. “I think I have a pretty good chance of actually winning this whole thing,” an optimistic Chen said Monday. As of April 2, Chen’s submission into the Metro Race for Space competition – made possible through a partnership with SXC Space Expedition Curacao – had amassed Michelle Chen the fourth-highest contest hopeful number of votes in Canada, 75,495. The month-long contest, which closes today (Thursday), invites citizens aged 18 and older to vie for a seat aboard the SXC Lynx, a spaceship anticipated to start offering the public flights leaving from the Caribbean island of Curacao in 2014. Entrants have to tell why they think they are suited for the mission and then gather votes via Facebook and other social media backing them. Last week, Chen’s ‘Born for This’ submission rocketed into second place, garnering support, in part, through her connection to the military. “Growing up with an air force pilot dad and a paratrooper mom, it’s no surprise that I also dreamt of touching the skies,” Chen writes. “Being raised in a military family has taught me the discipline and perseverance

Newton Learning Centre to move Sheila Reynolds Black Press
A specialized program for elementary students is being moved out of a North Surrey school at the end of the school year and a learning centre for teens is slated to move in by September. Due to dwindling student numbers, the longstanding Discovery School, one of the Surrey School District’s “choice” programs, will be housed in different, yet-to-bedetermined elementary school in the fall. As a result, beginning in September, the more than 200 students from the Newton Learning Centre near 64 Avenue and King George Boulevard, will move into the vacated Discovery building. “A lot of the participants in learning centres come from that region,” said trustee Shawn Wilson. “That’s the type of area that actually needs a learning centre.” As well, the Newton Learning Centre currently operates out of a leased facility near King George Boulevard and 64 Avenue, so moving into the district-owned Discovery school building
will save Surrey thousands of dollars per year in lease payments. Enrolment at Discovery is only about 57 students this year and has been slowly declining over the past several years. The
building, near 131 Street and 109 Avenue, has the capacity for approximately 200. Wilson said the board of education simply couldn’t justify using the large space for such a small number of students.
“We should be respectful and responsible in terms of the resources of the school district ... and when you support a program that’s not carrying itself, you’re taking away from other resources,” he said.

T3 RECOVERY MATTRESSES
Ironman Mattresses with Celiant® and Cellitex® 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® 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.

over the coming years. So, Larry Colby’s plumbing shop, located at 15163 Prospect Ave., became the new Superfluity Shop. There were two businesses on the site, Larry’s plumbing business and a tire shop owned by a tenant. Shortly after the shop opened, the tenant and his tire shop moved out. There were two large doors, which allowed vehicle access to the tire shop which the nearby furniture store, Bohn’s Furniture, wanted. The Superfluity Shop needed a washer and dryer, so a deal was struck whereby the Superfluity Shop would exchange the doors for a washer and dryer. Once again, sales were brisk, perhaps even too brisk for one Wes Hannah, who came to the shop one day to do some repairs. He left his tool kit in the shop and went out back for a coffee. When he returned, someone had sold his tool kit! How’s that for a quick sale? The Superfluity Shop has been in our community since 1949 – 61 years. The money raised through the sales at the Superfluity Shop, in addition to other auxiliary fundraisers, has helped make our hospital become the excellent facility that it is today. Felicity Matthews writes monthly on behalf of the Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary.

news Architects for four Surrey school projects were appointed Thursday. The projects were among eight announced for Surrey last October. Among them were additions at two crowded high schools: Fraser Heights Secondary, which has 16 portables, and Panorama Ridge Secondary, with 14. Also targeted were two new elementaries in South Newton and East Clayton that will relieve overcrowding at Hazelgrove and Cambridge schools. The Surrey Surrey District found out last week it could proceed and, within days, appointed architects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fool around on this end. Give us the money and we get the

The firm Craven Huston Powers Architects will oversee the two new elementary schools, while Grant & Sinclair Architects Ltd., which designed the original schools, will do the additions at Fraser Heights and Panorama Ridge Secondary schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody knows time is of the essence. We needed these schools three years ago, so the architects arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to waste a lot of time,â&#x20AC;?

news Despite confession, Jack Woodruff won’t be charged due to lack of evidence
Double-murderer admits to killing Sheila Reynolds Black Press
A man who pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison last month for the 2008 murder of a Mission couple has also confessed to killing his girlfriend, who vanished in Surrey in 2007. But Jack Woodruff is not facing charges for Karen Lynn Batke’s death. Batke, 39, went missing in February 2007. Last year, when Woodruff was arrested for the Mission murders of Lisa Dudley and Guthrie McKay, RCMP identified Woodruff as a suspect in Batke’s disappearance. Batke’s brother, Lorne Batke, told CBC in an exclusive interview last week that investigators told him while Woodruff was in prison awaiting trial for the Dud-

he attacked and killed the 110-pound Batke in self-defence after she swung a bat at him, and that she died from her injuries. He then reportedly concealed her body such that her remains would never be recovered, said police. With only Woodruff ’s confession – five years after Batke’s death – and no evidence or witnesses, Crown prosecutors were not convinced they could win a murder or manslaughter conviction and did not approve charges. Woodruff, 53, was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years for the Dudley and McKay murders. Two other men, Justin MacKinnon and Bruce Main, are also charged in the double murder but have yet to go to trial.

Q
My bachelor uncle died leaving a will in which he gave me a bequest of the contents of his house and a cash bequest of $50,000. When the executor searched the house he found $100,000 in uncashed Canada Savings Bonds hidden in a cupboard. I have demanded that the executor hand them over to me but he refused. What gives? The bonds are “contents of the house” and I should get them, right?
A
No. Unless there is a clear speciÀc intention expressed in the will, the Canada Savings Bonds go to the residuary beneÀciaries, not you. “Contents of a house” has been interpreted by the courts to be physical assets not what are termed “choses in action”. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

Earth Hour power savings dim Jeff Nagel Black Press
Surrey and White Rock underperformed most other B.C. cities in this year’s annual Earth Hour challenge to reduce electricity consumption. Surrey recorded a 0.9 per cent reduction in power use Saturday evening, down from 1.5 per cent last year, while White Rock increased to 1.8 per cent from 1.01 per cent in 2011. B.C. Hydro said the province as a whole cut power use 1.67 per cent, saving 121 megawatt hours of electricity – the equivalent of
turning off 9 million 12.5-watt LED light bulbs. “If people applied the same simple conservation measures for even one hour every day for the whole year, the combined savings would power close to 4,000 homes for an entire year,” said Hydro’s acting CEO Charles Reid. “Next year, during Earth Hour when smart meters are fully deployed, people will be able to track their own results from the day before through a secure online portal to help them realize how little measures really do add up to energy savings.”
In Metro Vancouver, Bowen Island did the best in this year’s Earth Hour challenge, with a 3.5 per cent reduction, followed by West Vancouver at 3.3 per cent. The best results in B.C. came from Revelstoke, which cut power use 12.1 per cent., followed by Pemberton at 6.8 per cent. The worst laggards in the region were North Vancouver City at 0.4 per cent and Langley City at 0.5 per cent.

Metro Vancouver motorists are now paying an extra two cents per litre to TransLink every time they fill up. The TransLink tax increase from 15 to 17 cents a litre took effect April 1 and prices immediately ticked up. The hike will generate $40 million a year and is dedicated to covering TransLink’s $400-million capital contribution to the $1.4-billion Evergreen SkyTrain line to Port Moody and Coquitlam. According to the price-tracking website gasbuddy.com, Metro Vancouver prices were averaging $1.437 per litre Monday, up more than a cent from Friday.
Prices have climbed sharply since early February, when Metro Vancouver drivers were paying an average of $1.25 per litre, reaching a recent high of $1.44 on March 28 before easing late last week to about $1.425. Gasbuddy co-founder Dustin Coupal said the tax increase appears to cement Vancouver’s status as having the highest gas prices in Canada. He doesn’t expect relief for motorists this spring. Many refineries are either undergoing maintenance shutdowns or switching from winter to summer gas blends, he said, so there’s less supply right now and more potential for prices to shoot higher yet due to market forces. Also, prices normally rise in spring as more drivers take to the road.

Golf is a complex game. As well as having to master techniques, golfers must also be able to control their emotions. It’s all true that there is plenty to enjoy in the fresh air and social aspects of the game, but players must also realize that golf is a sport in which the mind plays a vital role. Experts will tell you that golfers spend an average of 90 percent of their time on the golf course thinking and 10 percent swinging and hitting the ball. This is why it’s so important to make the right decisions. Whether you’re a regular, occasional, or professional golfer, the object of the game stays the same. Apart from mastering techniques, golf requires concentration and will power. A good balance between discipline, the control of movements, and the psychological aspects of the game will add to your enjoyment and lead to success in

this demanding sport. The first thing to realize is that you are, above all, playing for yourself and not for your partners. Set your objectives and give yourself the means of reaching them. Appreciate your good shots and learn to accept the poor ones. Did you miss a shot because you lifted your head or because your shoulders weren’t in the right position? Tell yourself that this lack of concentration is behind you. In other words don’t dwell on the past, continually thinking about the reasons for missing the shot, as this could well haunt you for the rest of the round. Success in golf largely depends on your ability to concentrate, to master the techniques of visualization, of positive thinking, and selfconfidence. In other words, you are the master of your own destiny!

Preparing for your Upcoming Golf Season by Brent Derrheim – Head Golf Professional – Beach Grove Golf Club
In preparing for the upcoming golf season you may be asking yourself the following questions: New Equipment? Golf lessons? A golf membership? Golf fitness training? Please see below for a few helpful tips to get you started: 1. Find a personal trainer that understands Golf Fitness: A good golf swing requires flexibility and strength. If you want to take your swing to the next level, you should consider the gym or a training facility. Professional golfers develop their upper and lower bodies in the gym to build power and stay flexible. The core is responsible for delivering the power of the golf swing – so build up the core of your body with exercises that work on the muscles of your front, back and sides. Ask your local gym or fitness training centre about what they can offer you for golf fitness training. 2. Are your golf clubs properly fitted for your swing? Golf clubs displayed at golf shops and pro shops are built to standardized specifications. If you do not fit those specs, the equipment won’t fit you. Without the proper club fit, you will have little chance of reaching your optimal performance. It is a necessity for golfers to receive a custom club fitting, from a trained and experienced club fitter, before making a golf club investment. Some important hints you should be looking for: Shaft Length, Lie Angle, Shaft flex, Shaft Type, Grip Size, Club head Design,
and Set Make Up. It is important to see you local professional to be fitted for the upcoming season. 3. If you are an avid golfer that plays 4 or more rounds per month and have not yet become a member of a golf club, you might want to consider the benefits of membership www.beachgrovegolf. com/membership:

arts & entertainment …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Rec centre expansion is first phase of plan, says city
The art of expansion Alex Browne Arts Reporter
Solo spirals
Boaz Joseph photo
Jayson Syrette of White Rock’s Spiral Dance Co. performs a solo modern routine (age 16 division) at the 46th annual Surrey Festival of Dance on Saturday. The festival continues until April 25 at the Surrey Arts Centre.
Stakeholders in the arts on the Semiahmoo Peninsula – and members of the general public – had an opportunity to add to their wish lists Tuesday for the South Surrey Recreation Centre’s art space expansion. The City of Surrey – as part of its Cultural Plan – has approved a 4,000 sq.-ft. addition to the recreation centre, which will contain office space for Semiahmoo Arts, a boardroom-sized meeting space for arts groups, a pottery studio and a large multi-purpose art studio for everything from exhibitions and workshops to film showings and rehearsals. But arts services manager Sheila McKinnon said Tuesday it’s only the first phase of planned expansion of arts space in South Surrey. In the second phase, is to include part of a multi-use public-private partnership development for city-owned property at 19 Avenue and 152 Street. That could add as much as 25,000 sq.-ft. of space geared more to the performing arts, she said, possibly using a flexible ‘black box’ theatre model with seating that could be retracted to provide an even larger open space for some kinds of events. “In comparison, (all of) Surrey Arts Centre is 54,000 square-feet,” she said, adding that the performing arts component is to be designed by Bing Thom, architects for the new City Centre Library. But McKinnon said the first phase was already attracting a lot of interest, including well attended invitation-only focus group meetings Tuesday that covered adult, family and youth use of the expanded arts space at the recreation centre (a public open house was also held that evening). “Everybody has the feeling it is long overdue,” McKinnon said. “It will be wellused space.” She said the aim is to complete the consultation and design process “before council breaks for the summer.” Provided tenders are received and a contract approved by July, the project could be in the ground by fall, she said, which would mean occupancy toward the end of 2013. The overall expansion of the centre also includes fitness and other recreation facilities, with an occupancy target for that component of January 2014. Craig Taylor, president of Taylor Kurtz

Arts groups and members of the public discuss arts-centre plans for the South Surrey rec centre Tuesday afternoon. Architecture and Design, which has been commissioned to plan the arts space expansion, personally met with stakeholders in the focus groups to get a feel for what potential users would like to see included. At an afternoon group devoted to youth use of the expanded facility, which may include a youth lounge, Taylor heard input on everything from colours and the possibility of youth-created murals, to WiFi access that would allow young people to more easily share ideas in art and music through laptop computers. There was also suggestion that multipurpose space in the facility would also allow room for young musicians to jam and record informally, and also for emerging talents to participate in ‘open mic’ style events. A suggestion from the adult focus group of a formalized outside-performance space could work well for youth uses, he said. “What I’m hearing is you definitely want it to have room for self-expression,” Taylor said. Niamh Tracey, representing Semiahmoo Arts, said a youth lounge could definitely be designed to encourage expression. “We’d like to see it getting people to be interested in the arts side, and a little more aware of it,” she said. Jordan Wiebe, youth recreation programmer at the centre, said following the meeting he was “excited about the potential” of the expansion. “I love to see public art as part of something like this and I want to see what people come up with.’

From May 4 to 6, Pacific Academy (10238 168 St.) will host nearly 200 singers from throughout the province who will join the annual event organized by the BC Choral Federation in conjunction with two Lower Mainland choirs – the Coastal Sound Adult Choir and the Vancouver Orpheus Male Voice Choir. “We’re thrilled to be bringing Chorfest to Surrey,” said Willi Zwozdesky, executive director of the BC Choral Federation. “We have been hoping to host a Fraser Valley Chorfest for some time, and this year provided the perfect combination of host choirs and the right venue to make this happen. It will be an excellent opportunity to showcase the choral community in the Fraser Valley – which is steadily growing.” Singers will work throughout the weekend with Dennis Coleman, the acclaimed conductor for the Seattle Men’s Chorus and the Seattle Women’s Chorus. The weekend will culminate with a concert at Surrey’s Chandos Pattison Auditorium (at Pacific Academy) on May 5 at 2:30 p.m. The repertoire for this year’s event, called Chorfest 2012–Sweet

This time, the entire event will be dedicated to popular jazz music – it’s going to be challenging and a lot of fun.” In addition to the usual mass choir format, this year’s event is offering a vocal jazz option. Up to 24 auditioned members will work with Réjean Marois from
Capilano University’s Jazz Studies Program. Chorfest is an annual event held in May alternating locations within the Lower Mainland and outside of the Lower Mainland.

‘Love songs for the planet’ Alex Browne Arts Reporter
Fanny Starchild and her husband, Vegari Cendar, have just released what they refer to as their first ‘grown-up’ album, Liberte. But Starchild – well-known on the local family entertainment scene for her clowning – isn’t about to leave behind her endearing and irrepressible sense of humour, She refers to the album – available in both a French and an English/bilingual version – as “our twin babies.” “I’ve been leaving voice messages with people saying we just had twins and that I’ll email Contributed photo the details later,” she chuckled.

Surrey loses Coastal Conference final 4-1 to Powell River Kings
Eagles’ season ends with Game 5 loss Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
For the second time in as many years – and the third time in the last four – the Surrey Eagles’ hockey season has ended at the hands of the Powell River Kings. Monday at Powell River’s Hap Parker Arena, the Eagles failed to score in a 3-0 Game 5 loss, dropping the series 4-1. Kings forward Evan Richardson – who scored three times and added an assist in the five-game series – opened the scoring for the
home side Monday night, just 3:13 into the game, and teammate Daniel Schuler doubled the Powell River lead 15 minutes later on the power play. Neither team scored in the second period, and Kings forward Cohen Adair scored an insurance goal with 3:05 left in the game. The Eagles failed to get any pucks past Powell River goalie Sean Maguire, who stopped 27 shots to earn his second shutout of the series. Powell River now moves on to battle the
Penticton Vees for the Fred Page Cup and the title of BC Hockey League champion. The Eagles, meanwhile, return home wondering what happened to derail a season that, at many times throughout the year, had them sitting second only to the recordsetting Vees among the BCHL elite. They finished second to Powell River in the regular season, though they led the Coastal Conference for much of the year. “It’s tough, because the end of the season always comes so abruptly. You’re always
planning to move on, and win the next game, so when it ends, it ends pretty quick,” Eagles coach Matt Erhart said. “We battled hard, we had a great season, but we just came up a little bit short.” The Eagles haven’t advanced past the second round of the playoffs since winning the Fred Page Cup in 2004/05, though that streak is a bit misleading, considering this post-season had one less playoff round than usual; under normal circumstances, the con see page 36

In the outfield, newcomers Kevin Irving, Cam Forbes and Max Koltai will battle for playing time in right and left field, as will Connor Kenwood and Cody Didyk, both of whom will also pitch. And while offence is sometimes hard to come by for the Tritons – “We’re still pretty inconsistent,” Smithson said – the team will likely live or die with pitching and defence. “There might be games where we only get a couple hits, but our pitching should be at the top of the league. We have seven guys with plus-stuff, and if our pitching holds, we should win a lot of close games,” Smithson said. The Tritons open the season on the road Sunday with two games against North Delta.

The league is considered among the elite in North America for high school-aged players. And three local teams are among the 13 which will begin play in the 2012 B.C.

The White Rock Tritons visit the North Delta Blue Jays in a double header Sunday at noon, while the Whalley Chiefs start their schedule at home Saturday afternoon, also at noon. Eleven former PBL players attended Major League Baseball spring training last month, including four who will start the season in The Show – former North Delta Blue Jay Justin Morneau of the Minnesota Twins, pitcher Ryan Dempster (North Shore Twins) of the Chicago Cubs, outfielder Michael Saunders (Victoria Mariners) of the Seattle Mariners and third baseman Brett Lawrie (Langley Blaze) of the Toronto Blue Jays.

Last year, the Tritons lost to the Okanagan Athletics in a one-game playoff that determined the final playoff participant. “We’re tired of fighting for eighth spot every year,” said Tritons head coach Russ Smithson, who enters

They’ll rely heavily on their seniors, especially the trio of Alex Webb, Nathan Trueblood – both pitchers – and centre-fielder Jackson Temple. “Alex has turned into a real beast,” said Smithson of his pitcher, who last week signed to play next season at UBC.

sports Nick Brummelkamp takes silver at indoor championships
Second place in tennis return Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Nick Brummelkamp’s return to competitive tennis was a successful one last month, as the Hazelmere Tennis Club member placed second in the Senior Men’s Western Indoor Championships in Richmond. Brummelkamp placed second in the 50+ singles division, losing in the championship game in three sets (3-6, 6-4, 6-4) to No. 1 seed Denis Dumas. “It was close – just a few games off – and it could have gone either way,” said Brummelkamp, who was competing in a national tourna-
ment for the first time in over two years. “I just ran out of gas at the end. I’m a big guy, so sometimes by the end of a match, you get the heavy legs.” Prior to facing Dumas in the finals at the Richmond Country Club, Brummelkamp, who was unseeded heading into the tournament, defeated New Brunswick’s Marc Pepin in semifinals. Brummelkamp, a White Rock native, also defeated Greg Peers – a former No. 1-ranked player.

He coached the Blue Jays team in the B.C. Junior Premier League, guiding the group to a second place finish and a playoff championship. Eight members of that junior team are moving up to the senior squad for 2012, including Shoma Sasako of Surrey – who led his team in batting last season with a .352 average – Sodai Hoshi of North Delta (.290), Jordan Yamamoto (.288) and Bryan O’Hara (.267). Hoshi finished sixth among Junior PBL pitchers with a 1.37 earned run average, and will join a pitching staff that includes the club’s two returning players – Shane Wlodarczak of Richmond and Seven Van Vooght of North Delta. Wlodarczak was the Blue Jays Pitcher of the Year in 2011, with a 3.24 earned run average. His 49.2 innings pitched was the second highest among North Delta hurlers last year.

Hungerford heading to UniverCity on Burnaby Mountain
Altitude showcases great views Hungerford Properties is hitting new heights with their latest development, Altitude. Located in UniverCity at Simon Fraser University on Burnaby Mountain, the two high-rise towers will give buyers 360-degree views of Burrard Inlet, Indian Arm, the North Shore mountains and downtown Vancouver. “This is the last best view location on Burnaby Mountain,” says Jason Dolker, director of sales, marketing and service for Hungerford. The location is a draw for buyers to its proximity to everything without being right in the middle of it. “It’s a retreat from the city yet still connected,” Dolker says. “You get the
best of both worlds ... Nobody has our views ... we’re 1,300 feet above sea level. Nothing can compare.” Buyers looking for a greener lifestyle will find their perfect home at Altitude, as it will be part of one of the most sustainable communities in the Lower Mainland. Surrounded by 1,400 acres of forest, the building is designed to be about 45 per cent more efficient than traditional buildings and includes a three-bin kitchen recycling centre and a hydronic hot water heating system, among other energy-efficient features. For more information, visit www. hungerfordproperties.com/altitude or call 604-456-8883.
efficient ... it’s very livable.” Udzenija says that livability is one of the most important things to Concord, and this shows in every home they build. With shared amenities such as an entertainment kitchen, formal dining room, karaoke room, an indoor driving range and an outdoor putting green, Concord has spared no expense on keeping their residents happy and healthy. The fitness facility is particularly impressive, with a stateof-the-art cardio gym that is outfitted with the latest in Italian Kinesis fitness
equipment. “Our amenities set us apart,” says Udzenija. “No other development at this particular time has such an expansive amenities set.” The Met is opening for previews this week, but there has already been a lot of interest in the market. “We’ve been very excited about this for a long time,” Udzenija says. The grand opening will take place April 21. Home start at $279,900. For more information, visit www.themetburnaby. com or call 604-899-8800.
‘It’s all about the location’
Concord Pacific continues to impress with The Met by Kerry Vital
With the opening of their newest high-rise development, The Met in Burnaby, Concord Pacific is once again proving why they are an integral part of the Metro Vancouver real estate business. “It’s all about the location,” says Concord Pacific’s Project Marketing Manager Peter Udzenija. “There are parks everywhere, we’re kitty-corner to Metrotown and just a block and a half from SkyTrain. It’s comfortably close.” The condominium suites are spacious and come in a variety of oneand two-bedroom floorplans. There are some three-bedroom suites available as well on the upper floors. With 8’8’’ ceilings and open balconies or terraces in most homes that are perfect for enjoying your beautiful view, you will never feel cramped in your new space. Wideplank engineered hardwood flooring throughout the main living areas and plush carpeting in the bedrooms is standard, and both lend a touch of elegance to the home. The kitchens are full of thoughtful little details, such as a waste recycling bin and sliding basket under the kitchen sink, soft-close hardware on all the cabinets and a modern white marble tile backsplash that is perfectly complemented by wood veneer cabinetry with open glass display shelving and under-cabinet

lighting. Depending on your plan, your kitchen will be lit by pot or track lighting, and the engineered stone countertop is almost too beautiful to mar by preparing food on it. The Miele appliances are a chef ’s dream, while the polished chrome Grohe faucet is yet another beautiful detail. The luxury extends to the bathrooms, which include engineered quartz stone countertops, a custom medicine cabinet with a mirror, shelves and built-in lighting, and white marble tile flooring that matches the tub/shower surround. Homeowners are given the option to have their home automated with Control4 technology or include air conditioning in their suite. “We have everything that people want,” Udzenija says. “Because of the shape of the building our plans are very

The expansive lobby of The Met, top, will include a lounge area for residents. Situated in the middle of parkland, above, it is easy for homeowners to feel a part of nature while still being close to every amenity they could possibly need, from the Metropolis at Metrotown shopping centre, left, to a convenient SkyTrain station.

If you’re selling your home, you need to be aware that there are four critical phases of the selling process. A mistake in any of the phases can jeopardize a fast, top-dollar sale. 1) Pricing the property to ensure the likelihood of stimulating offers. Many people try to set a high price thinking they can come down later. That’s a big mistake because above-market pricing stifles showings and discourages offers of any kind, usually netting the homeowner a lower price than they planned on getting. 2) Marketing the property to attain the highest number of showings from qualified buyers. Check your Realtor’s marketing plan carefully to ensure they have the ability to do more than just place it on MLS and hold a few open houses. 3) Creation and Negotiation of the purchase contract. A good Realtor’s negotiating skills can make or break a purchase contract. Check their ability in these matters. . 4) Managing the closing process. During this phase, your Realtor must be on top of all the closing functions: inspections, appraisals, financing, contingencies, and more. When interviewing Realtors, make sure you address each of the four phases of the selling process. Your dialogue will be pivotal in establishing trust and a personal chemistry that is crucial between you and your Realtor.

is pleased to have been chosen to be able to offer the treatment. How it works: As temperatures plunge, fat cells freeze long before muscle, skin or any other tissue does! Zeltiq Coolsculpting takes advantage of this by chilling fat deposits to around 45 degrees. “Damaged, frozen fat cells can’t be repaired by the body, so they’re smoothing out even stubborn fat pads within two to four months” says dermatologist Mark S. Nestor, M.D., Director of the Center for Cosmetic Enhancement in Miami, Florida. And specific troublespots can be easily targeted! What to expect: Zeltiq Coolsculpting takes about one hour per treated area. Since no anaesthetics, needles, or incisions are needed you can head back to your normal activities right away; there is no downtime. Treated areas tend to look red and feel a bit stiff for about 20 minutes, and some patients experience temporary bruising, numbness, or tenderness.
What studies show: “Zeltiq removes 20% - 25% of the fat from treated areas, but patients say their troublespots actually shrink 40% - 50%.” “It’s producing better results than the research had predicted. Patients love it!” The catch: If you’re obese, you will not be happy with this treatment, notes Caree Ludwar, owner of New Beauty Institute. “It’s meant for people who are close to their ideal body weight and want to get rid of stubborn pockets of fat - the sort of thing that wrecks the way clothing fits. However, we have had very good results with larger belly areas on some patients.”

OBITUARIES
SYDENHAM, Harry “Jim” drifted away peacefully and left his vessel on March 25th, 2012 at the age of 84. “What shall I give? I, myself shall be the gift.” His greatest gift was to provide a strong foundation of family values. To be caring, responsible, reliable, and always show gratitude. Such a treasured role model! Jim is greatly missed by his loving wife Joyce whom he spent 61 fulfilled years with. He will be deeply missed by his three children and their loving spouses: Judy Sydenham & Murray Brown, Karen & Harry Neufeld, Derek & Karen Sydenham and his seven grandchildren: Arin (Evan), Jay (Kaylen), Jolene, Danielle, Matthew, Lindsay, and Alanna as well as his two great granddaughters Sadie & Tatum. Patrick Stroud, his dearest and closest friend from childhood years spent in Brixham, Devon still treasures his friendship daily. No service by his request. His spirit will forever live in the hearts of those that shared in his life.
