Construction-site landslide could have ended in tragedy

Neighbours evacuated as wall buckles Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Residents of a Buena Vista Avenue home had to be evacuated Thursday evening, after an excavation site immediately south of their property collapsed, threatening the building’s stability. Paul Stanton, White Rock’s director of

planning and development services, said it is sheer luck no one was injured in the retention-wall collapse, which occurred at 14919 Beachview Ave. “The gentlemen that had been in the site and putting plastic up to minimize erosion if it rained were lucky it didn’t happen when they were down in the excavation hole,”

Stanton said Monday. “It could’ve been very serious. The property owner above, part of his land slid down into the excavation site.” Stanton said the trouble was caused by excavation that was done close to an existing retaining wall which hadn’t been stabilized. Soils behind the wall were organic, the wall

collapsed, and the land behind it, most of which was fill, slid down, he said. In addition to one neighbour being asked to find alternate accommodations for the weekend, the city had to tell the residents of a property to the west to stay off of their home’s deck. see page 4

Ryan Ashe crosses road

Homeless man on the move again Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Attempting to comply with a request from the City of White Rock, Ryan Ashe last week moved his belongings away from a Johnston Road bus stop to a corner of private property across the street. “I’ll move my stuff over there and I’m not going to worry much about what they say after that,” the wellknown homeless man said, shortly before packing up Friday morning the area he has called home for the past few months. But Mayor Wayne Baldwin Ryan Ashe said it’s likely homeless more will have to be done. “We’re not going to make a deal out of it, but I’m thinking that it probably won’t be (enough),” Baldwin said that afternoon. Ashe, a familiar face in White Rock for more than a decade, was approached to move last week, after city officials fielded dozens of complaints about his settlement just north of Thrift Avenue. Ashe had located there after site preparation for a development at the intersection’s northeast corner forced him out of landscape shrubbery, and his belongings soon spread to take over the bus shelter. see page 3

A 11-year-old boy is rushed to hospital by air ambulance Thursday morning after suffering hot-water burns to his chest and right arm.

Boiling water spills on 11-year-old boy

Child airlifted after kitchen collision A 11-year-old South Surrey boy was airlifted to BC Children’s Hospital Thursday after suffering hot-water burns to 25 per cent of his body. Emergency crews were called to a home in the 2300-block of 138A Street just before 9 a.m. Police say the second-degree burns – to his chest and right arm – occurred when the boy’s mother, who had been boiling eggs, turned to

empty out the water, not knowing her son was behind her. She immediately put the child in a shower to cool the wounds, and called 911. The boy was transported by ambulance to nearby Chantrell Creek Elementary, where a helicopter lifted off with the victim, his mother and paramedics at 9:45 a.m. Emergency crews at the scene said the boy’s

injuries were not life-threatening. He was treated and released from hospital later that day. The incident, police say, is a good reminder to parents to be extra cautious when cooking around children; and for children to be mindful of keeping a safe distance in the kitchen anytime cooking is underway. – Tracy Holmes

news Traffic, congestion a concern for residents living near U.S. border

Conference centre planned for Douglas Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A nine-building complex that includes a four-storey hotel and conference centre is in the works on a parcel of land near the Pacific Highway U.S. border crossing. A project of Silverstone Ventures Inc., a development of its kind is needed in the area, developer Hardy Bains said Monday. “I think there’s a demand for it, a goodquality hotel… the conference centre,” Bains said. “It will provide jobs and everything.” But some residents say the Douglas area is no place for the multi-million dollar project. Slated for 1.23-hectares at 388 175A St., a

lack of access from 176 Street means those wanting to get to any part of the complex will have to use 175A Street, a narrow residential road, Dennis Befus said last week. “I don’t know what the city is thinking about, really,” said Befus, who chairs the Douglas Point townhouse strata. “We just can’t see that (kind of development) down there.” Construction of a small strip mall on the parcel’s northwest corner is already underway. A general development permit for the site was approved by Surrey council in 2010, and Bains is hopeful remaining specific development permits for the Pacific Crossing Centre will get the nod next month. He

wants to open the facility in 2013. The land has been zoned for such a project “for many, many years,” noted Bains, who also owns the 10-year-old Best Western Peace Arch Inn, at 2293 King George Blvd. “You can put a shopping centre, you can put a hotel…” he said. Bains confirmed he and architect Maciej Dembek met with residents of Douglas Point Thursday to discuss the project, which also includes a water park and retail space. Traffic was the biggest concern, he said. Bains, who lives in Surrey, said residents moving to the area should have expected growth given the proximity to the border.

At the same time, he, too, has concerns with access to his development. Of four planned entry points, none are from 176 Street, he said. “I’m trying hard to get one,” said Bains, adding the lineup of trucks heading stateside “won’t help me either.” Bains said he plans to meet with officials to see if a resolution can be found. “I want people to have easy access to my centre, too. If they can’t get in and out, they will have a hard time, I will have a hard time.” Befus, Dembek and City of Surrey officials could not be reached by Peace Arch News’s deadline Monday afternoon.

Paws-itively awesome Canines of all shapes and sizes brought their owners to White Rock’s West Beach waterfront Sunday for the second annual Pooch Parade on the Peninsula, where some, including eightyear-old Goliath, were treated to a fresh-air bath from The Paw Spa’s Jacqueline Wright (left) and her sister, Kelly. Above, Marilyn Pearson participates with her toy chihuahua and shih tzu. Organizers estimate more than 400 people and 75 dogs turned out for the festivities, which raised more than $3,000 for the Rotary Club of White Rock.

‘I think White Rock, out of anywhere else, is safest for him’ from page 1 In addition to the complaints, Ashe’s location adjacent to the construction site, where there is heavy equipment, was “starting to become a bit of a safety issue,” Baldwin had told Peace Arch News Thursday. “There’s only that little wire or mesh thing separating him from machinery, so it’s not the best situation, on many counts.” Police and bylaw officers approached Ashe on the matter Wednesday. On Friday morning, he was given until 2 p.m. to move on. White Rock RCMP Const. Janelle Shoihet said at the scene that she was there only to keep the peace – something she was confident wouldn’t become an issue. Noting she likely wouldn’t return for the 2 p.m. deadline, Shoihet said that in all of her conversations with Ashe over the past six years, he has always said he prefers to live outside. Ashe told PAN in December 2008 that he believes those who offer to help him find shelter interfere with his aura. His sister said

Ryan Ashe chats with Coun. Helen Fathers and his niece, Kimberly Martin, Friday. at the time that Ashe went downhill after suffering severe head injuries in a crash about two decades ago. Ashe’s niece – who met with him at the site Friday morning – described her uncle as “completely harmless.” Kimberly Martin said she remembers visiting Ashe when she was

a child, at a White Rock apartment that her parents paid for until he stopped taking his medication and moved outdoors. “I just hope that he’s able to find somewhere that people accept him,” Martin told Peace Arch News. “I think White Rock, out of anywhere else, is safest for him.” Friday afternoon, Ashe’s belongings were tucked at the northwest corner of the intersection and the large blue tarp that once covered them was hung on the construction fencing behind the bus stop. Asked where he planned to sleep that night, Ashe wouldn’t say. “Where I sleep is really nobody’s business but my own,” he said. Coun. Helen Fathers, who learned of the plan to move Ashe through an April 19 Peace Arch News article, told Ashe she believed he had complied with the city’s request. (Fathers later told PAN she was not there as a representative of the city in talking with Ashe, but to ensure Ashe was OK, “as I have known him for 20-plus years.”)

Fathers assured Ashe that the situation was not an attack. “The concern is, nobody wants you to get hurt,” Fathers said. “Nobody’s got it out for you, Ryan.” Baldwin said that since the situation hit the news last week, the city has seen the tide of complaints turn to calls in support of Ashe. It doesn’t change what needs to be done, the mayor said. Now that the bulk of Ashe’s belongings are on private property, the city will wait to see what, if anything, the property owner does about it. (The mall property owner could not be reached for comment at press deadline.) In the meantime, efforts are continuing to try and find him a more acceptable abode. The issue has become about more than just Ashe’s location, Baldwin said. Acknowledging that “perhaps we ignored it too long,” Baldwin said the bigger picture includes consideration of social and public-health standards.

Man charged in beer theft White Rock RCMP believe they have busted a bandit with a taste for beer – and a soft spot for a particular Marine Drive fish and chips venue. Just before midnight on April 12, a pair of observant promenade walkers saw a man dressed in black breaking the side window of Montgomery’s Cottage Lunch restaurant on East Beach. After watching the man enter the restaurant they called police. Officers arrived on the scene, where they found and arrested a suspect inside

the restaurant. Cst. Janelle Shoihet said subsequent investigation has linked the break-in to three others at the same location, in February, March and earlier this month. In each incident, cash and tools – and beer – was taken. Charged with four counts of break and enter is Hermann Honig, 47 of White Rock. Honig was scheduled to appear in court on April 23. – Alex Browne

Police searching for young woman in connection with assault

Fight leads to broken nose White Rock RCMP are looking for a Caucasian woman with long brown hair in connection with a February assault at a Marine Drive pub. The appeal for public assistance was put out Wednesday afternoon, more than two months after the early-morning incident at the Sandpiper. “We like to exhaust all other means before putting somebody’s picture in the paper,” Const. Janelle

Shoihet explained of the delay. “We’ve done, at this point, everything that we can. We’ve disseminated to all of our police resources and been unable to identify her.” Police were called to the 15595 Marine Dr. pub just before 1 a.m. Feb. 12, after a verbal altercation between two women became physical. Officers arrived to find a 36-year-old woman with a bleed-

ing, broken nose. The alleged assailant, seen leaving the scene in a cab shortly after the incident, is described as a woman aged 20 to 30 years old, wearing a red or pink skirt, a white-and-black striped T-shirt and a dark jacket. Anyone with information is asked to contact Const. Chris Kienzle at 778-593-3629. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

editorial

Not all fans created equal or some, it was a sense of numbness. For others, utter despair. While a few admitted to feeling indifference Sunday evening, they were likely in the minority, as the Vancouver Canucks – champions in regular-season play for the second year in a row – failed to get past the eighth-seeded L.A. Kings in the opening round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, thus bringing disappointment to fans in their city, in their province and beyond. But there is another emotion being felt by some who merely profess to being fans of the team – a more corporate feeling associated with lost opportunity and, in many cases, lost money. The race for the Stanley Cup can certainly be lucrative for business. Bars, restaurants, transportation and broadcasters all make their fair share when our home team delivers their fans, and last year’s long post-season run – which did not end until mid-June – no doubt helped fill the coffers. The media, as a whole, tends to sideline the news that’s more expensive to gather, focusing often meager resources instead on an easyto-cover topic that guarantees an audience with far less effort. (Controversial newsmakers, too, will feel the pang – we’re talking to you, premier, and you, TransLink – as the spotlight returns to them instead of on our more popular pastime.) The roar of corporate fandom might tend to obscure that of the true fans of the team during the lead-up to the playoffs, but, now that hopes have been dashed, it’s those who remain steadfast and devoted – despite any losses along the way – who will be rewarded most in subsequent seasons. And if and when our home team does finally bring home the Stanley Cup – whether next year or, perhaps, the one after that – these are the fans whose cheers will be most heartfelt. For others, Stanley Cup fever isn’t really about the game, or about standing by the team come thick or thin. Rather, it’s the type of fever that only really surfaces for all to see during the playoffs, when it appears the hometown boys may be in there with a chance – the kind of fair-weather support that’s often too fickle to be worthy of the name. We are all Canucks? Hardly. Only those who act as fans in defeat will truly be Canucks in victory.

So far this week you’ve said… yes 36% no 64% 85 responding of Sierra Club BC, a branch plant of the U.S. enviro-machine that works against B.C. forest, mining, power and petroleum development. These folks would be working with Stephen Howard, who went from senior positions at the BCGEU and CUPE to his current role as Dix’s chief of staff. Dix, of course, benefited from the sudden ouster of Carole James, who made the mistake of trying to loosen big labour’s grip on the NDP and modernize some of its quaint 1930s notions. Then we have B.C.’s thirdlargest political party, the BC Teachers’ Federation, which has already confirmed it will continue its long campaign to replace the BC Liberals with the NDP next year. Such a team brings impressive experience, but unfortunately for taxpayers, much of that experience has been in extracting money from the public treasury. And if recent B.C. history is any guide, this fundamental conflict of interest will receive little or no media attention in the months to come. Instead, the conventional wisdom will be that voters want “change.” ■ Correction: Last week’s column referred to the 1971 Greenpeace campaign against atmospheric nuclear testing. That protest boat was directed at a U.S. nuclear test off Alaska, not a Soviet test as stated. Subsequent Greenpeace protests targeted the Soviet slaughter of grey whales, and the last atmospheric nuclear tests, conducted by France in the South Pacific.

Not all liked ‘em then either Editor: It is good that the City of Vancouver had second thoughts and overturned this silly bylaw that would have banned bagpipers from busking on their city streets. In the meantime, we veterans in White Rock will just go on lovin’ them pipes – enjoying the memories of years gone by. So, some Vancouverites object to the noise of the pipes! They must be on the “other side.” For as far as I can remember – I am 86 – most people are fascinated by the magic of the pipes; it was said they brought “a lump in your throat” and “a tear to the eye.” Such was the emotion attached to this unique musical instrument. As the Canadian Army made their way up through Italy, led by pipers, no one complained of the noise. As the Canadian Army made its way through Holland, led by pipers, no one complained of the noise. As the Canadian Army, and half a million Allied forces, landed on the French shores on D-Day, led by pipers, no one complained of the noise. As the Canadian Army, in that fight of all fights, took Vimy Ridge – led by the pipers – no one complained of the noise. And so it goes further back in time. The pipes are the sound of heroes in action. To be honest, not everyone liked the sound of the pipes; the guys on the other side called them “ladies from hell.” Play on Simon Fraser University. You do us proud! George D. McAbney, Surrey

Modelling takes its toll Editor: Re: Gridlock fears grow as tolls edge near, April 10. We pay 50 cents a litre in fuel taxes. That equals $1 billion a year for Metro Vancouver. That should be enough to fund everything. Transportation Investment Corp. CEO Mike Proudfoot claims modelling shows drivers will flock to the Port Mann Bridge to pay tolls. Is that the same modelling that showed people would use the Golden Ears Bridge instead of sitting in traffic on Highway 1? We are so tired of government’s hand in our pockets. Chris Hale, Surrey

Park delays unacceptable Editor: Re: Contamination delays ponds, April 10 letters; Don’t just boast about biodiversity, April 3. I, too, have been monitoring the progress – or, more aptly, lack

thereof – of the work on the ponds in Southmere Village Park. I was in the park on April 9; the heavy equipment was sitting idle as it has been on many other visits in the past month or so, and not a workman in sight. I visited the next day and, once again, all was quiet. This project was late getting started, according to the signs posted in the park, and seems to have ground to a standstill. Southmere Park is a lovely spot visited regularly by many residents of South Surrey-White Rock. Lately, it has been a disgusting and unsightly mess. The ponds have been drained for some time, there are piles of ugly

concrete blocks piled at one end of each pond and the walkways and lawns have been severely damaged by the on-site, but idle, equipment. When is this park going to be restored to its former beauty? The City of Surrey doesn’t hesitate to collect our taxes – taxes, by the way, that according to the city’s fiveyear plan, and when other fees are added in, are slated to increase by at least 25 per cent. It’s high time they made use of our tax dollars by completing the Southmere Park project without further delay. Don Campbell, Surrey Editor’s note: Work has now resumed and is expected to conclude May 18.

Letter-writer Ruth Carrier visits a dog that she says is better off thanks to Janet Olson’s A Better Life Dog Rescue.

Our society fails to prevent cruelty Editor: Re: Media embraces inhumane laws, April 12. Finally, an intelligent individual who has some knowledge of animal-cruelty laws in Canada. Thanks to letter-writer R. Thomson of West Vancouver. I’ve felt articles in Peace Arch News had been slightly slanted against Janet Olson. Just how many of the alleged 37 charges against her are factual? A few years ago, a PAN reporter interviewed me when I was trying to save a mistreated dog here in White Rock. It was deemed vicious and would have been put down except for her and my efforts to show this dog was not vicious. He was rescued by Olson’s A Better Life Dog Rescue and put with a foster family, where he learned true love in a family atmosphere. It would appear the RCMP observed Olson entering a property and taking a bulldog who had been left outside in the dead of winter. A small, shorthaired dog would certainly freeze to death, or close to it, in such weather. Why do people have animals if they don’t or won’t treat them humanely? Thank you, R. Thomson and Ms. Olson, for attempting to bring a sick situation to the public’s attention. R. Carrier, White Rock Q Three cheers for R. Thomson, who writes in a reasoned, balanced and compelling way exactly what needed to be said with reference to the Janet Olson affair. Central to his letter is a plea to examine the “causes of these desperate actions” of Olson: the suffering of animals, the concomitant lack of legal protection which exacerbates it, and the impotence and at times seeming indifference of major animal-welfare societies. No one with eyes to see or ears to hear or a heart to feel can walk a block in any neighborhood and not be aware of an abandoned cat sick and/or starving, a neglected dog relegated to ‘outside’ status, cold, bored, lonely, driven to distraction or worse chained to a stake, all while the law and animal-welfare societies remain unable or unwilling to do what should be done to alleviate their suffering. The circle of indifference encompasses all animals:

the animals we use for food, for fashion, for sport, for entertainment, cosmetic testing, etc., in numbers beyond imagining, in cruelties too countless to comprehend, in crimes for which there is not yet a name – in the endless permutations of suffering that support our society. This is why supporters of Olson’s actions – regardless of the mistakes she might or might not have made – feel like wanderers in the streets of men and in matters such as these creatures of desperate impulse. Perry Walker, Surrey Q Where are all the animal advocates? As stated by letter-writer R. Thompson, Canadians have been trying since 1999 to pass bills in our so-called humane country to address the issue of animal welfare. Well folks, it’s now 2012 and our pets, wildlife and strays still suffer at the hands of irresponsible pet owners and warped humans who take out their frustration on God’s creatures. Why own a dog if you keep it chained or caged all of its life? Where is the pleasure in that? I’m not just talking about backyard cruelty either. How many pet owners keep dogs caged all day in apartments while they work? A 20-minute walk morning and night to relieve itself is no life for any living being. I applaud Janet Olson for trying to relieve the suffering of those animals she deems to be in distress. Most of us don’t have the ‘guts’ to take any action, preferring to turn a blind eye and mind our own business. Wake up people! Our society condemns countries that treat their animals inhumanely and yet we continue to cage chickens, support cruel treatment of farm animals and abuse domestic pets and urban wildlife. I’ve seen the results of raccoons pitch-forked to death, snowy owls used for target practice and deer run to death by snow mobile operators all in the name of sport. If you want the truth about our treatment of animals, visit a wildlife shelter or talk to people in the know at the SPCA or in humane education. It’s time animal advocates take a stand and pass legislation to protect all animals from abuse so people like Olson don’t have to do it for us. Dee Walmsley, Surrey

Whooping cough cases on the rise Jeff Nagel Black Press

More than 255 cases of whooping cough have now been confirmed in the Fraser Health region since an outbreak began in early December. Health officials say 45 new cases have been detected since the beginning of March, although the actual numbers of people being infected is likely much higher. Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Paul Van Buynder is continuing to urge adults to get a free vaccination against the pertussis (whooping cough) bacteria, to reduce the spread of the highly contagious infection to young children, who are most vulnerable.

More than 30,000 vaccine doses have been distributed to pharmacies and doctors’ offices, he said, but added it appears the disease is still circulating. The outbreak started in the eastern Fraser Valley, but recent cases have been reported in almost all communities in the Fraser Health region, including 19 in Surrey and three in South Surrey/White Rock. “We continue to see new cases and urge anyone who has or expects to have contact with infants and young children to get vaccinated,” Van Buynder said.

perspectives …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Plenty of politics and pressure behind the pipeline

B.C. may become Alberta’s oil superport Kinder Morgan Canada announced this month it will seek to twin its Trans Mountain Pipeline between northern Alberta and Burnaby. The twinning would mean a huge increase in the amount of crude that transits the pipeline, and in the number of oil tankers passing through local waters each year. This final instalment of a three-part Black Press series looks at the politics of the pipeline, and possible alternatives. Jeff Nagel

H Black Press

undreds more oil tankers may soon ply B.C. waters to carry crude oil from Alberta’s oil sands to Asia via one of two very different routes. Most public focus so far has been on Enbridge’s controversial Northern Gateway project, which would run a new pipeline across northern B.C. to Kitimat. But several industry watchers rate that project — beset by opposition from environmental groups, northern communities and First Nations – as a long shot. Much more likely to proceed, they say, is Kinder Morgan’s potential expansion of its Trans Mountain pipeline, which could mean a more than six-fold increase in the amount of oil now being exported by tankers out through Burrard Inlet. The politicking will be intense to persuade B.C. to accept at least Kinder Morgan’s proposal, if not both projects, to satisfy national strategic interests, according to SFU public policy professor Doug McArthur. “The federal government is increasingly committing itself to a high level of expansion of the oil sands and making it almost the main economic issue in the country,” he said. “I think B.C. will be under tremendous pressure from the federal government.” The Enbridge pipeline faces huge hurdles. It is a new route across sensitive ecosystems, mountainous terrain and salmon-bearing rivers, all of it in the traditional territory of aboriginal bands that have come out staunchly against the project. By comparison, McArthur said Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain expansion amounts to twinning its existing pipeline on an established right-of-way with few of the

Tankers already carry oil on a shipping route and with procedures that are well established, in contrast to Enbridge, which would introduce big tankers to the more challenging waters of the north coast. “Kinder Morgan is the much easier one for them to get in place,” McArthur said. “In terms of picking the low-hanging fruit, I would think they would push very hard to get that one through. But I think they want both.” Could B.C. say no to both pipelines and refuse Rich Coleman to act as Canada’s oil port Energy Minister to Asia? McArthur predicts a provincial government that actively blocks both projects – rather than merely register its opposition – would feel Ottawa’s wrath. “There would be a huge battle,” he said, adding future federal grants and support might be at risk. “The federal government would pull out

every possible means they have to make life very, very difficult for B.C.”

Cautious words So far provincial officials have not taken a stand on the Northern Gateway proposal, despite pressure to do so. B.C. Energy Minister Rich Coleman is also circumspect on Kinder Morgan’s plans, but did note the Trans Mountain pipeline has a lengthy track record. “This one’s been in operation for a long time, and it does show that John Horgan pipelines can operate safely for generations,” energy critic he said. “When I talk to people in my own riding, they have no idea that we have been bringing tankers into the Port of Vancouver for about 50 years.” A recent Mustel Group poll found Metro Vancouver residents were split on whether they support a Kinder Morgan expansion, increasing tanker visits to nearly 360 a year.

Opposition energy critic John Horgan, who may chart B.C.’s course on the issue if the NDP take power in 2013, said there is anxiety in the NDP caucus and the broader public about the volume of oil that would be shipped through sensitive waters. “It is cause for concern,” he said, adding he will wait to see Kinder Morgan’s formal proposal, which could be two years away, before taking a position. He noted the existing pipeline does provide benefits – refining jobs in Burnaby and lower-priced gas as a result – that should be maintained. The NDP opposes Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline, he said, because it offers B.C.-only risk and is strongly opposed in the northwest. “Our view is that’s a non-starter,” Horgan said. “Kinder Morgan is a more complicated question, and one that has a track record of 50 years of more or less unblemished activity. So we’ll have to measure that when the time comes.” He said B.C. needs to better understand tanker traffic risks and how to address them. see page 12

Issues to be addressed: Cummins from page 11 “There’s going to be an increase in volume, so does that increase the risk? Yes it does, but we can measure that once we’ve got a clear understanding of what the increase in tanker traffic will really mean.” B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins has come out in support of the Enbridge pipeline, but the former commercial fisherman is more cautious about the Kinder Morgan expansion. “There’s huge issues there with the shipping through Vancouver harbour and those issues have to be addressed,” he said. “We’d be supportive. But they’d have to satisfy concerns about increased tanker traffic.”

Reviews required

Tanker ban unlikely Environmental groups would like to ban oil tanker traffic outright in B.C. waters. But most observers see little scope to block tanker exports from Kinder Morgan’s line that have happened for decades. B.C. couldn’t outlaw tanker shipments without cutting off the supply of diesel and gasoline to Vancouver Island or other communities on the B.C. coast. And such a move could interfere with U.S. tanker shipments through international waters, triggering a trade dispute. you remove that differential, that reduction you lose by being in the U.S. market,” said Travis Davies, spokesman for the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers. More than 1.7 million barrels a day of oil is now being pumped from the oil sands and that’s forecast to reach three million a day by 2020 and 3.7 million by 2025. “The capacity is such that both pipelines will be needed,” Davies said. He predicts the oil will move one way or another. Pipeline companies like Kinder Morgan argue they are by far the safest conduit. But railways have also begun exporting oil, Most of that traffic so far heads straight to the U.S., but Davies said CP Rail has begun limited shipments to the west coast for export.

for increased tanker shipments through Vancouver. Shunting Alberta oil into Washington and onto tankers there would mean they would still sail through the Southern Gulf Islands and up the west side of Vancouver Island – as do the more than 400 tankers that each year bring oil from Alaska to the Washington refineries. “Once we pipeline it down there we have no control over the way they run the ships,” industry observer John Hunter said. “I’d rather it be our jobs and with ships we control.” Kinder Morgan spokesperson Lexa Hobenshield said the firm has no intention of developing a second tanker export terminal on Puget Sound. But groups like the Georgia Strait Alliance say the mere possibility is one more reason to stop twinning in its tracks. “We would just be pushing the risk down into the U.S. side, which does us no favours because the Salish Sea is interconnected,” said executive director Christianne Wilhelmson. “If we’re just shifting things it’s not a win for us. We need to stop the twinning of the pipeline because we need to stop the tar sands oil from coming here. It’s an energy source from the past.” – with files from Tom Fletcher

Kinder Morgan formally announced its Trans Mountain expansion plan April 12, kicking off 18 to 24 months of public consultations with affected communities and First Nations. That would be followed by an application to the National Energy Board, leading to NEB hearings like those underway on the Enbridge pipeliine.

Focus on wellness and happiness at Christina Place Nestled on a quiet street overlooking Semiahmoo Bay lies Christina Place. The location is perfect, offering the balance of privacy and accessibility desired by residents. Upon entering the front lobby at Christina Place, there is a good chance you’ll hear the sound of music and laughter spill out from the bright, spacious dining room, where the weekly happy hours are held. Many of the residents are giving meaning to the

term “young at heart,” dancing to their old favourites, which are performed live by a local musician, or enjoying a beverage and relaxing with friends. It can be hard to tell who is having more fun – the residents, or the staff, who often join in, singing along to the tunes. “We are one of the few who do happy hour every week,” said Bette Hutchinson, leasing co-ordinator and marketing manager of the cozy residence, often

referred to as the “jewel” on the Peninsula. With general manager Linda Fernholm at the helm, the atmosphere is oftentimes light and fun, but there is a purpose behind all the wonderful activities offered to the residents at Christina Place, Hutchinson sad. “We do a lot of things to keep ﬁt, both mind and body, whether that’s Keep Fit, yoga or brain-teasers,” she said. see page 17

Christina Place ‘works hard’ for residents from page 15 In fact, Christina Place is in partnership with Ocean View Care, three-ﬂoor residential care facility built into the White Rock hillside, which includes both private and funded beds. “As people require more care, they are able to transition to Ocean View because we are working with Fraser Health,” Hutchinson said. Christina Place’s emphasis on health and wellness also extends to events, including the annual Health and Wellness fair – a popular draw for residents and the public alike. The May 25 event, coordinated by Janet Isherwood, will include guest speakers such as Avalon Tournier from the B.C. Alzheimer’s Society, who will talk about maintaining a healthy brain, the White Rock Fire Department and the Surrey/White Rock chapter of Osteoporosis Canada. And while the event is aimed to educate residents, members of the community are able to come by and participate. “We welcome the community to all our events,” Hutchinson said, noting that Christina Place hosts a Parkinson’s support group once a month. Creating an atmosphere of fun and inclusivity is one of the many reasons why the 84-unit rental residence is so popular in the community and one of the things that sets Christina Place apart.

Two recreation staff members, including Si Cussen, are always on-hand to ensure there is never a dull moment. “Si is in charge of all the day-today activities, she drives the bus, runs Keep Fit and is in charge of the brain teasers,” Hutchinson said. A quick look at the monthly activity calendar reveals a trip to Victoria on the ferry followed by an excursion to the Stanley Park Aquarium in the coming weeks. “We try to go out and do many different things,” Hutchinson said, noting the recent addition of a 16-passenger mini-bus. Even when staying in, residents have limitless options when it comes to activities, including exercise classes, bingo and movie night, just to name a few. There are also a slew of special events for residents, staff and community members at Christina Place, which holds four major barbecues a year: the salmon festival, chicken and rib roast, corn roast and the traditional country barbecue with hamburgers and hot dogs. Having delicious food at the events is a breeze, thanks to the resident chef who whips up mouth-watering meals, like scratch-made soups, shepherds pie and chicken cacciatore. Each resident gets three full meals a day, with the option of ﬁve alternatives if the main meal isn’t their fancy. “We have a great, full breakfast

There is never a dull moment at Christina Place. Residents enjoy many outings and activities year-round. with eggs, porridge, cereals, fresh fruit salad, coffee and tea. We also have mufﬁns available until 11:30 a.m.,” Hutchinson said. Other services offered include free parking, weekly housekeeping and linen laundry – designed to help residents maintain their independent lifestyle, with just the right amount of support they deserve to live worry-free. With so many amenities and activities, it would be easy to think Christina Place is not affordable for a senior’s budget,

but Hutchinson explains that’s not the case – rather, the opposite. “We’re affordable in comparison to our competition. One of our new residents coming in two weeks, calculated that we are saving him $21,000 a year,” she said, noting that there are no hidden fees at Christina Place. “That’s huge, especially on a retiree’s budget.” Christina Place is also petfriendly, so residents never have to worry about leaving their companions behind. Seniors who are currently

enrolled in the SAFER program (Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters) can even transfer their government assistance. “We’ll work hard to make this lifestyle possible for anyone,” Hutchinson said. If spending your golden years with good friends, great food and laughter, in a setting that feels just like home, is what you’re looking for, visit Christina Place at 1183 Maple Street for a tour today.

ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S DIRT... WITHOUT THE MESS!

White Rock centenarian reaches milestone birthday

Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

Sarah Massah photo

Peggy Klassen celebrates her 100th birthday with friends and staff at Whitecliff Retirement Residence.

Wearing a sparkling tiara and sipping tea from an elegant gold-rimmed tea cup covered in yellow flowers, Peggy Klassen celebrated a century of life among family and friends at Whitecliff Retirement Residence last week. The long-time Peninsula resident enjoyed a slice of cake decorated with a vibrant pink flower on April 17, alongside best friend and caregiver Em, daughter Joanne Murray, son-in-law John, grandson Scott and his girlfriend, Nicole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very special. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to believe there is 69 years between my mother and my son,â&#x20AC;? Joanne said. The centenarian and avid walker, who

Joanne notes has impeccable style, moved to White Rock in 1979. She dedicated a quarter of her life working at Surrey Memorial Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thrift Store as a buyer, choosing the gifts and products for the shop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has great taste,â&#x20AC;? Joanne said, gesturing to her mother, dressed in a dusty rose cableknit sweater and black slacks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best sewer, the best designer and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so excited for her today.â&#x20AC;? Lise Cooke, director of recreation at Whitecliff, laughed as she explained the days leading up to the milestone birthday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has been asking what day itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been all week and we all know why,â&#x20AC;? Cooke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She keeps telling us â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 96, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to be 100. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m only 96 and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old enough.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Fate of school sports to be decided soon Gary Ahuja Black Press

The fate of the spring seasons for various B.C. high school sports should be determined within the week. “The championships start at the end of May, so that gives us five weeks,” said Sue Keenan, the executive director of B.C. School Sports, the governing body responsible for the delivery of high school sports in the province. “We really want to do everything we can to

ensure that the championships go ahead. “If at the end of the day, we don’t have the resources or we don’t have enough people to stage and event, then the commission will make a determination on a sport-by-sport basis on whether they will be able to provide a viable championship or not.” The organization held a meeting Friday to discuss the results of the teachers’ vote earlier in the week in response to Bill 22, the Education Improvement Act.

Seventy-three per cent of the province’s teachers voted in favour of withdrawing their participation in all extra-curricular activities, including sports, graduation ceremonies and end-of-year celebrations. A total of 21,625 teachers voted ‘yes’ compared to 7,846 ‘no’ votes. “This vote sends a powerful message to government that they must re-think Bill 22, listen to the concern of teachers, respect our rights and invest in services to students,” said B.C.

Teachers Federation president Susan Lambert in a press release. She said the vote was an emotional one for teachers because the decision to withdraw from extracurricular activities was a wrenching choice. “Teachers struggle with this because these activities bring so much joy to our engagement with students,” Lambert said. “We know this will mean the loss of some see page 25

Pitching leads team to victories last week

Tritons take one from Blaze Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

After a slow start, the White Rock Tritons have started to creep up the BC Premier Baseball League standings after winning two of three games last week. The Tritons opened the week with a 1-0 win last Tuesday over the Vancouver Cannons – a game in which UBC-bound pitcher Alex Webb allowed just two hits – and on Sunday, White Rock split a two-game series with the Langley Blaze at South Surrey Athletic Park. The Tritons lost the first game 8-1 before bouncing back to win the nightcap, 3-2. Pitching was key in both White Rock victories. Against Vancouver Tuesday, Webb was dominant, striking out 11 of the 27 batters he faced. His performance made up for the team’s offence, which managed just one run, on a Matt Stevens sacrifice fly that scored Jackson Temple. In Sunday’s win over the Blaze, Adam Shumka was equally strong on the mound, going the distance while striking out nine Langley batters, walking three and allowing only one earned run. Langley got on the board first, when former Triton Preston Kokotailo scored on a single by Blaze teammate Mason Cratty in

White Rock responded in the bottom half of the frame, when Stevens doubled home leadoff hitter Tony Tabor and, one batter later, Brett Walker singled, scoring Temple, who had reached base on a walk. The Tritons’ 2-1 lead held until the third inning, when both teams exchanged runs – Langley scored thanks to a two-error sequence by White Rock on a Greg Rodgers

stolen-base attempt, and White Rock plated their run when Tabor, who also stole a base in the game, scored on a Langley fielding error. Despite the lopsided score in Sunday’s opening contest, the game was winnable for White Rock until the last two innings. The game remained scoreless until the fifth, when Langley scored one run, but the visiting squad broke the game open with four runs in the sixth inning and

three more in the seventh. White Rock’s Joel Lamont was tagged with the loss, after pitching five and two-thirds innings, striking out five and allowing six hits and four earned runs. He was relieved by Connor Kenwood for the final four outs. Langley’s Justin Geerts was the winning pitcher, striking out six in six and two-thirds innings. Offensively, the Tritons were led by catcher Evan Douglas

Looking for a Seniors’ Residence? Eagles forward signs deal Robert Lindores turns best BCHL season into NCAA scholarship

Surrey Eagles winger Robert Lindores is the latest to sign his name to an NCAA scholarship, inking a deal last week with the Northern Michigan University Wildcats. Lindores, 21, agreed to the deal after the conclusion of the Eagles’ season; the South Surreybased BC Hockey League team was bounced by the Powell River Kings in the second round of playoffs earlier this month. The Port Alberni native played four full seasons in the BCHL, the last two with Surrey after being acquired by the team in a trade with the Alberni Valley Bulldogs.

Damon James photo

Eagles forward Robert Lindores has signed an NCAA deal. The 2011/12 season was easily Lindores’ best of his junior career, he scored 26 goals and tallied

61 points in 58 games with the Eagles. Lindores brings to 10 the number of Eagles from last year’s team who’ve inked college commitments. Others include Steve Koshey (Alabama-Huntsville), Tyler Morley (Alaska-Fairbanks), Devon Toews (Quinnipiac), Andrew Hunt (Clarkson), Matt Cronin (Merrimack), Alex Hagen (St. Lawrence), Michael Stenerson (Alaska-Anchorage) and three players who arrived in Surrey with deals already in hand – Charlez Orzetti (Yale), Brandon Tanev (Providence) and Brayden Jaw (Harvard).

Costs are already incurred: Keenan from page 23 highly-valuable activities, and we sincerely regret that. “But we have to look at the bigger picture and the longer term.” At this point, BCSS is proceeding with the planned spring season for the 35,000 students involved in badminton, golf, mountain biking, rugby, girls soccer, tennis and track and field, said Keenan, reiterating what she’d said in an email to Peace Arch News earlier this month. BCSS relies on the efforts of 15,000 volunteer coaches to run 18 sports, which conclude with 45 provincial championships. Of the 15,000 coaches, 58 per cent are teachers, but that number includes

15 per cent who represent private/ independent schools. Teams will need either parents, community volunteers or school administrators to fill the coaching void if the seasons are to continue. Keenan said it will be up to each sport’s commission to determine whether that sport will proceed, and time is of the essence, as the zone championships approach. “The next week will be critical for us,” she said. BCSS, a voluntary non-profit society which oversees 425 schools, also stands to lose a significant amount of money. “That is a nightmare unto itself,” she said. “I think that gets lost in

the big scheme of things. “We have all of the championship banners here ready to go, all the championship medals have already been pre-ordered. To stage these things, you are planning a year in advance. “All those costs are already incurred.” She also pointed out that most championship venues — such as Swangard Stadium – are outside of schools and have already been booked and paid for. “At the end of the day, if (the championships) don’t happen, there is not only a loss to the students in terms of the championships, but financial loss as well,” Keenan said.

“If you are looking for a seniors’ residence for yourself or a family member, you need to talk to us. We believe that we offer the most well planned, safest and most enjoyable assisted living/supportive housing environment in Western Canada. Make an appointment today for a personal tour with one of the owners and ﬁnd out why we believe that you need to see one of our residences.”

Expect some kind of improvement at work, such as a raise or a promotion. Your future looks very promising.

SCORPIO

This is a great week to create meaningful change in your life. You will be tempted to renew your wardrobe, change your hairstyle, and make improvements to your home.

SAGITTARIUS

You will encounter lots of action and unexpected developments, both professionally and personally. You have a well-developed sense of initiative.

Your relationships preoccupy you. You will need to clarify some things with your loved one to find harmony again. This will also help you feel reassured about the seriousness of his or her commitment.

CANCER

CAPRICORN

You could feel an accumulation of fatigue this week. Rest and take a bit more care of yourself. Look at your engagements and see where you are perhaps giving a little bit too much of your energy.

Work is a priority for you this week. Perhaps you should work some extra hours. Even at home you’ll have a bit more cleaning up to do than usual.

LEO

If you’re single you will likely receive quite a lot of attention from some very interesting suitors. If you’re part of a couple you will take up a project together or embark on an exciting adventure.
