Hotel/convention centre eyed for 8 Avenue and 168 Street

Newton casino in talks to move south Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Plans are afoot to move the Newton casino to a property in South Surrey, where it would be turned into a destination gaming complex, Black Press has learned. The City of Surrey, Gateway Casinos and the B.C. Lottery Corporation (BCLC) have been in private discussions about moving the gaming licence from the Newton Bingo Country casino at 7093 King George Blvd. to

a yet-to-be-built facility in South Surrey, at 8 Avenue and 168 Street. The Newton property was the subject of a highly contentious public hearing in 2009, when gaming critics were pitted against notfor-profit organizations, which rely heavily on gaming revenues. After a marathon meeting, council passed the gaming expansion in Newton on a 5-4 vote, even though it contravened the city’s own gaming policy.

Making matters worse, the company that won the rezoning later flipped the property to Gateway Casinos and Entertainment and the promise of $25 million worth of improvements on the property died with the change in ownership. Three years later, the mall where the Newton casino is situated still lies in a state of disrepair. Meanwhile, the South Surrey location – currently undeveloped green space – is the

planned site for a $180-million development, including a 200-suite hotel, 800-seat convention centre and casino. The vast majority of people at a recent public hearing were in favour of the South Surrey development plan. Mayor Dianne Watts confirmed Tuesday that the city, BCLC and Gateway were in early discussions to move the gaming licence from Newton to the border location. see page A4

Neighbours mollified by demolition Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Two derelict houses on White Rock’s Stevens Street that have been the subject of numerous complaints since 1998 have been demolished. The city issued a news release Tuesday announcing last week’s turn of events. City manager Dan Bottrill told Peace Arch News that he received confirmation the buildings were gone Wednesday, May 23 at 2 p.m. “By Thursday morning, most of the debris from the homes were also removed,” he said. The homes – at 1029 and 1037 Stevens St.

– had been the source of much grief for area residents, particularly in recent years. Geoff Giffin and Senga Fullam had appealed to White Rock council early last month to deal with the site – which had become a health and fire hazard – after years of “quietly” waiting produced little results. The couple live immediately north of the site and had watched helplessly as the buildings and property became increasingly unsightly, drawing vermin and an increasing number of scavengers. Fines levied by the city against the out-of-

country property owners since 2010 did little to persuade them to take action. Giffin said this week that the bulk of the problem that’s plagued the neighbourhood was dealt with in about two hours. The entire process was monitored throughout by city staff and was finished by Friday afternoon. The effort did not go unnoticed. “A lot of people came by afterward and said, ‘wow, they’re gone’,” said Giffin, thrilled a resolution has finally been reached. see page A4

A coal train protest on White Rock beach May 5 cost the city $18,000. A news release issued Tuesday states the funds cover overtime police salaries and related expenses. City manager Dan Bottrill noted the amount is 90 per cent of the actual costs, as per the city’s contract with the RCMP. “We received that estimate from our RCMP detachment stating that this is basically our share,” Bottrill told Peace Arch News, estimating “at least” 15 officers were dispatched to assist with the protest, which was staged by members of the group British Columbians for Climate Action, to block U.S. coal trains from travelling to the bulkcoal terminal at Roberts Bank. Of the 40 or so people who turned out for the “peaceful civil disobedience,” 13 were arrested without incident and each fined $115. Bottrill said the tab was disclosed to the city during a closed meeting of council. The decision to release it to the public was made Monday. Mayor Wayne Baldwin commended police handling of the event, but described the additional policing bill as “painful.” The city does not receive the fine revenue and is not responsible for the cost of CN officers that assisted.

While SET had been reasonably strong in earlier years, and was always able to deny the NDP-affiliated SCE a majority on council, it is often forgotten that much of its strength in the 1990s was a result of taking control of the school board in 1993. SCE had controlled the board, but as has often been the case, fell out of favour with Surrey voters at least partially because there was an NDP government in Victoria. SET candidates captured a majority of seats in 1993, and made a number of changes – most notably pushing to bring in a fundamental school that was a huge hit with parents from Day 1. One of those SET candidates, Ken Hoffmann, recently passed away. While he was a polarizing figure to many, his experience in the classroom as a teacher and his willingness to stand up for what he believed made him popular with many voters, and he was re-elected again and again. If and when Watts ascends to the premier’s chair, it will be at least partially because of SET backroom organizers, volunteers, campaign managers and successful candidates like Hoffmann, who together made SET a powerhouse in Surrey. That gave her first chance as a politician, and she has made the most of those chances ever since. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

news New zoning considered for multiple units in specific areas

City of Surrey tackles secondary suites Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A baby born in Surrey this year will be nearing retirement age by the time all homes with multiple suites are brought into compliance with city bylaws – 63 years at Surrey’s current enforcement rate. Cracking down on illegal suites is not a challenge unique to Surrey. Officials throughout the region who have embarked upon similar enforcement initiatives say prohibitions are slow to bear fruit. Nevertheless, Surrey wants swifter response time and is now working on a backup plan: Allow homes with multiple suites in pre-

determined zones in the city. Coun. Barinder Rasode said the approach only makes sense. “Is it (tenants’) fault that their landlord is now disobeying a bylaw and we should give them two months notice?” Rasode asked. “We better start thinking outside the box, because what we’re doing isn’t working right now.” When Surrey created a bylaw in December 2010 allowing one secondary suite per home, it made shutting down multiple suites a priority. But nearly a year later, Black Press learned, the city had shut down just 63 of the estimated 4,000 homes with multiples suites. At that rate, it will be 2075 before all exist-

ing multiple suites are eradicated. Critics of illegal suites are quick to say their biggest bone of contention is homes that contain multiple suites. Homes with multiple suites are not covered under the B.C. building code and are currently forbidden in Surrey. The suites are a draw on resources, critics say, including schools, parking spaces, city services and police time. Last year, in response to questions about why so few people have applied for permits for one suite, the mayor’s office said the city is focusing on cracking down on multiple suites, a plan which will continue. Surrey is now developing an additional strat-

egy: Allow them in pre-determined zones. “If you want to have multiple suites, then you need to be in an area that’s zoned for multiple suites,” said Mayor Dianne Watts. “In essence, they’re little mini-apartments.” The zones would probably be for duplexes, fourplexes and sixplexes, Watts said. “We’re trying to fix a 30-year-old problem and it’s not an easy one,” Watts said. “You’ve got single moms, kids going to school and all the rest of it.” MORE ONLINE Ê The City of Surrey examines by-community support for secondary suites

Hiebert defends cuts

Travellers assaulted

Digitization ‘acceptable’

No reprieve for offending border guard

Staff Reporter

The federal government is not responsible for the elimination of the National Archival Development Program (NADP) – a move critics say could lead to the collapse of Canada’s archival system. That’s the message from South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert, responding to an open letter to him from White Rock Museum and Archives’ Hugh Ellenwood, published in Tuesday’s Peace Arch News. Ellenwood had voiced concerns that federal funding cuts that curtailed the program pose a threat to the “documentary heritage of Canada,” saying the cuts are driven by a misguided reliance on digitization as a way to reduce costs. Library and Archives Canada eliminated the program – the primary funding source for communities’ efforts to preserve and access their past – on April 30. Hiebert told Peace Arch News it was “an arm’s-length Crown corporation” that made the decision; that it was not part of federal budget deliberations. Tuesday, Ellenwood – who has yet to receive a formal response from Hiebert to his May 17 letter – characterized Hiebert’s comments as “a bit of a cop-out.” “If the money for it doesn’t come in from the government, the project can’t be MP Russ Hiebert funded by Library and ‘not our decision’ Archives Canada,” he said. Until this year, the NADP had funding of $1.7 million annually. Ellenwood pointed to a recent memorandum from the Canadian Council of Archives which says the organization – which has distributed federal funding and resources for archives since 1986, and administered the NADP since it was established in 2006 – will, in effect, cease to exist as a result of the April 30 decision. “Its elimination will have a far-reaching and devastating impact for documentary heritage across Canada,” the memorandum states. Ellenwood said the NADP has resulted in an internationally respected – and connected – network of archival organizations maintained to consistent federal-level standards. On a local level, he said, White Rock Museum and Archives was able to reorganize to Canadian Archival standards in 1993 as a direct result of the Canadian Council of Archives and Archives Association of B.C. – both funded at that time by a predecessor of the NADP. Hiebert told PAN he understands the priorities driving the Archives Canada decision.

A former South Surrey border guard who unsuccessfully appealed convictions of sexual assault and breach of trust learned this week his bid to spend less time in jail for the offences has also failed. Crown Susan Brown confirmed that B.C. Court of Appeal Justices Risa Levine, Kenneth Smith and Daphne Smith dismissed Daniel Johnson Greenhalgh’s sentencing appeal following a hearing Monday in Vancouver. “They really just said that the judge didn’t make any errors and the sentence was fit,” Brown said. Greenhalgh was convicted in B.C. Supreme Court in the fall of 2010, following a five-week trial in New Westminster that arose from allegations he illegally strip-searched women while on duty at the Douglas (Peace Arch) border in 2007. During the trial, three women testified that Greenhalgh touched them inappropriately during stripsearches he conducted on his own in a men’s public washroom and other areas. A fourth woman said she was made to strip, but was not touched. Throughout the trial, Greenhalgh maintained his innocence. In March of 2011, he was handed a two-year provincial jail term for the crimes, along with three years probation, a 10-year firearms prohibition and an order that he provide a DNA sample. After serving about nine months of his sentence, Greenhalgh was released on bail last December pending his appeals. He has been back in custody since March 28, when his conviction appeal was dismissed. Brown said Greenhalgh’s lawyer, Derek Birch, had sought a reduced sentence for his client during Monday’s hearing, suggesting the twoyear penalty was too high compared to others imposed in similar cases. “The court rejected that argument,” Brown said. Birch could not be reached for comment by Peace Arch News press deadline Wednesday afternoon.

Hugh Ellenwood says digitization of documents can’t replace keeping analog records. “There are limited resources and space to store documents,” he said, adding he believes digitization of archives is “acceptable to Canadians.” Hiebert said there is “too much information” to have it all kept in a hard format. “(Archives are) certainly important and valuable to the community and we have invested heavily in providing space – such as the renovated White Rock Museum and Archives. “We also have to recognize that we’re moving into a digital age, and we want to make the information available to as many Canadians as possible – and this accomplishes that.” But Ellenwood said archivists across Canada

reject the notion that digitization saves costs. “Anyone who knows anything about digitizing papers and photographs” recognizes its only advantage is in ease of retrieval, he said. “It’s a very expensive process to undertake and maintain,” he said, adding that compatibility issues are always a concern. He warned that reliance on digitization as a substitute for “analog” archives – essentially storing documents and photographs in boxes – could come at a greater cost. “It’s not a suitable surrogate,” he said. “All these things – systems, CDs and external drives – are subject to failure, and digital failure is absolute.”

‘Potential’ for South Surrey casino from page A1 “We’re having discussions,” Watts said. “The landscape has changed, in Newton, from when that casino was first brought forward.” The landscape Watts referred to is the diminishing revenues not-for-profit organizations now receive from gaming. “If you’re asking me if I would be sad that it moved? No,” Watts

said. “I just think that the Newton site was not appropriate, and I know that many of us struggled with that site, but supported it because the non-profits were (previously) getting the dollars.” She said the city and proponents are just days into discussions, and noted a lot has to be ironed out regarding the plan. A spokesperson for BCLC said

the South Surrey location has good potential for a casino. “We have been looking at the Surrey area for some time and we know it’s a marketplace that presents opportunity based on its location in proximity to the border,” the spokesperson said. “We have received a proposal from Gateway… we’re not in a position to discuss details at this time.”

Cheers ‘go around neighbourhood’ from page A1 “I think the pressure that we put on (the city), and the city then put on the owner, I think made the difference.” Council gave unanimous support to enforcing a cleanup of the site at its April 2 meeting, after hearing details of the mess – which included that garbage was piled waist-high in one of the houses – from Giffin and Fullam.

Staff were directed to notify the owners – identified as Taiwan residents Chi T. Tsang and ChenHung Tsang – that they had until May 4 to clean up the site or the city would do it and then take steps to recover the costs. The demolition threat was put on hold after some action was taken to address the problem. Bottrill said the end result is what the city had hoped for.

“I think it’s fair to say that we’re pleased that the owner took care of the situation,” he said. Giffin said the neighbourhood was left with a feeling that perhaps playing by the rules can work. Kelvin Brown, who often walks his dog, Abby, past the property, said the buildings’ removal has been cause for celebration. “There’s been cheers going up around the neighbourhood.”

A barbecue in White Rock’s Bayview Park.

Bayview grills may be removed

BBQs ‘in limbo’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The fate of charcoal barbecues in White Rock’s Bayview Park is up in the air, after two split votes this week. “We’re in limbo,” Mayor Wayne Baldwin said, after council cast a tie vote first on a motion to keep the seven barbecues, then again on a motion to remove them. “We’ll have to wait until Coun. (Larry) Robinson returns.” Robinson is on holiday, which left council with an even number Monday. “If we take no action, we’re carrying out what the motion said,” Baldwin said. Removing the barbecues was suggested by city manager Dan Bottrill, after residents reiterated concerns with charcoal smoke. The issue was brought to the city’s attention in 2010, when residents petitioned to have the grills removed. Council voted to retain them, citing minimal costs and the potential loss of revenue from adjacent

parking stalls. In Bottrill’s May 28 report, he notes previous staff “may not have adequately communicated the environmental issues raised by the petitioners.” He cited the city’s commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and noted concern is not so much with barbecues as it is with the use of charcoal and lighter fluid. “My preference would quite frankly be to allow barbecues to continue, but… with gas,” he said. Coun. Helen Fathers disputed the barbecues’ environmental impact and noted they promote community. “It would be a shame for us to get rid of it,” she said. Coun. Al Campbell agreed, noting coal trains that pass by are far more concerning. Mayor Wayne Baldwin and Coun. Louise Hutchinson – who, with Coun. Grant Meyer, voted to remove the barbecues – said the picnic tables are the draw for visitors.

There’s little hope for useful TransLink reform ransLink’s board doesn’t need more directors drinking from the same bath water. It needs whistle-blowers and critics, transit users and truckers to put some reality into the way Lower Mainland road and transit infrastructure is funded. Adding directors from the mayors’ council to the TransLink board is no more than tokenism and the provincial government needs to do two things: • One, acknowledge that it is calling the shots and stop pretending that TransLink, with its limited funding options, is any more than a cringing lap dog – not to mention a convenient scapegoat (sort of like school boards). • Two, open up TransLink board meetings to the public. What taxpayers need to see is more open debate on the how’s and why’s of TransLink decision-making – such as how it can justify the now rejected 12.5 per cent fare increase and why bureaucrats need hefty bonuses for doing their jobs. It may seem harsh to pick on TransLink, but the funding stalemate between the mayors’ council and the board is a sign of trouble. Martin Crilly, the TransLink commissioner, has already said the authority lags behind other cities in productivity; and the province and the mayors hope an audit can find a hidden source of cash. Could some of these problems be fixed with an improved funding model and a new system of open governance? No doubt. Instead, the province gives us an easy fix with little hope of succeeding. Further, there’s legitimate concern that once representatives from the mayors’ council begin attending meetings – earning $60,000 a year for their efforts – they’ll stop representing the taxpayers and start swilling the grey water, making excuses instead of holding the authority accountable. For that much money, TransLink could find numerous people with intimate knowledge of Metro Vancouver’s transportation troubles who could enliven those TransLink board meetings and provide some balance. We have zero confidence that will happen just as we have zero confidence co-opting a couple of Metro Vancouver mayors will help the Lower Mainland’s long-suffering commuters.

yes 38% no 62% 70 responding steel kitchen version? Back off, Jack, or you’ll feel the bite of my rubberized vegetable servers! Oooh, there’s a threat! “Raining cats and dogs” is still oft heard, and it’s just plain weird. Somehow, somewhere, someone decided to equate falling droplets of water with plummeting pets. Clearly, this person was drunk as a skunk. And where skunks get liquor, I can’t imagine. Wouldn’t they be asked for ID? You’d think someone else would have immediately challenged the cat/dog precipitation comparison. “Dude, you’re out of your mind. Shut up. It’s just raining really hard, OK?” But no, apparently no one thought to question the insanity of this remark. We just continued to parrot it to this day. And speaking of days, the more contemporary expression “at the end of the day,” makes me crazy. What does that actually mean? Nothing, really, but it’s absolutely ubiquitous. Corporate policies, projects, objectives and all sorts of miscellaneous proclamations and observations are based upon this vague point in the Earth’s rotational cycle. At the end of the day, some day soon, I’d like to see this phrase go away. All day, every day. In the meantime, I’ll just keep on keeping on. If you know what I mean.

It takes time to Missing point convince some in Montreal Editor: Re: Premier bitten by pest problem, May 22 column. The article on cosmetic pesticides written by columnist Tom Fletcher skates around the body of medical and scientific evidence linking these toxins to such illnesses as childhood leukemia and Parkinson’s disease. In his words, the “right thing to do” is to do nothing about cosmetic pesticides. I imagine if he were living in the ’60s, he would be arguing that the Vietnam War was the right thing to do, or in the ’70s, that concern over the nuclear arms race was merely “political.” The problem with cosmetic pesticides, like DDT or cigarettes, is that there is no smoking gun. It is going to take time to convince some people that pouring poison on their lawn could harm their children. In the case of Mr. Fletcher, I think it will take a lifetime. I pity his children. Jim McMurtry, Surrey Q I enjoyed Tom Fletcher’s column on the hysterical reactions to any chemical use. With regard to Roundup, this compound is a very specific inhibitor of an enzyme unique to photosynthesis. Therefore it affects only photosynthesizing organisms, typically green plants. It has even gone through Phase 1 clinical trials – which test safety for humans – because there was some idea that it might help with arthritis. No such luck. In other words, you could drink the stuff with no ill effect. When Oak Bay council proposed banning all “pesticides,” including Roundup, I wrote them pointing out these facts. To no avail; they just went along with the herd, and copied the type of ban that Saanich has. Well, keep up the good work of speaking truth to ignorance. It might eventually help. Neil Madsen, Oak Bay

Give credit where it’s due Editor: I just received the “financial update and message from council” with my City of White Rock tax bill and was pleased to see the acknowledgment of the many improvements – including to the pier – which have been made to this city. During the last election, the impression was given that nothing was accomplished – now, these benefits are being touted as a record of achievement. Unfortunately, the message ascribes credit to this council incorrectly. Every single accomplishment listed was voted upon and initiated by the previous council. Lynne Sinclair, White Rock Editor’s note: Sinclair served as councillor from 2008-’11.

Editor: The news reports that Montreal students have been protesting for over 100 days. Will someone enlighten me as to why, when their tuition fees are the lowest in the country, are they protesting? Does this not seem like they are being too demanding? Is this not a bad example for the students in other parts of Canada? Or is there something I’m missing? M. Downey, Surrey

Making a mesh of smart meters Editor: Re: Better safe than sorry, April 26. I read about the plight of letterwriter Mary Garner, who is living in an apartment that is adjacent to the BC Hydro meter room. My comments are based on our modern society that uses many electronic devices in the home. In the kitchen, most residences have microwave ovens. These devices are shielded from harmful microwaves by way of an electronic blocking mesh hidden in the door window. As citizens of a modern society, we are bombarded daily from all sorts of transmitting devices, anywhere from

Wi-Fi to cellphone communications, and even the sun produces harmful radio waves and X-rays with the occasional CME (coronal mass ejection) directed towards the earth. If Mary is concerned with being subjected to electromagnetic radiation, she should consider shielding her apartment by installing a copper wire mesh on the walls and floor adjacent to the meter room. Copper wire meshes are used frequently by the government and other organizations to stop intruding radio waves so that the “other side” cannot listen in on the conversations. Copper wire mesh is one solution in blocking unwanted radio signals from infiltrating your living space. What I object to with these smart meters by BC Hydro is the way it was presented to the public – like it or not, we have no say in the matter. In California, citizens have a choice to either have the meters or pay for an extra surcharge per month for the reading of these meters. (Editor’s note: Californians are charged $75 up front, and $10 a month, to opt out). Also, what is the rush with BC Hydro in implementing these meters instead of spreading out the installations over five years? It would make sense to spread out the smart-meter program and substitute the savings towards Hydro line beautification projects. In most neighbourhoods, we have beautiful boulevards spoiled by ugly Hydro lines. A pole beautification project would be money wellinvested in our “quality of life.” B. Hemingway, Surrey

Trains served their purpose Editor: Re: Problems here long before us, May 15. Don Crowe’s letter to the editor was only partially right. Yes, in the old days our communities were facilitated by the railway with train stations. That finished in the early ’70s. Now it is just a massive pain in the you-know-what. Locating or visiting in a place with only one access road is not a choice if you want to live or visit the only ocean beach in Surrey. I think, however, if we continue along Don’s line of thinking we should just give this whole area and many other prime areas on the coast back to the native Indians where they can just peacefully hunt and fish. Oh yes, even we used to hunt in Vancouver and maybe we should bring that back. Times are changing and nothing should be written in stone. There are railway lines in Vancouver now and many other communities that are abandoned. It’s about time the citizens in the communities of White Rock and Surrey get to use and walk this incredible beautiful natural shoreline which could join Blaine and Centennial Beach in Delta with access points all along that corridor in harmony with each other.

Japanese-Canadians were relocated to internment camps in the Interior of British Columbia in 1942.

We can only imagine their thoughts Editor: Re: No apology for wartime relocation, May 22 letters. Letter-writer David Poole argues that in 1942 the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour necessitated the relocation of Canadian Japanese from the West Coast. At that time, most civilians lived in fear of Japanese aggression, not unreasonable considering that Japan had annexed Korea and seemed well on their way to doing the same to China. Organizations like the RCMP, however, pronounced the Canadian Japanese community in B.C. as not a danger to national security. Nonetheless, bowing to domestic pressure, Prime Minister Mackenzie King ordered relocation. In 1944, the prime minister addressed the House of Commons and admitted that no act of subversion or sabotage had occurred before or during the war.

Indeed, Canadian Japanese attempted to enlist in the army, and later served with distinction in the Far East. After the war, Ottawa convinced 3,700 Japanese nationals, naturalized Canadians and Canadian-born to voluntarily go to Japan, an event characterized by Norman Hillmer and Jack Granatstein in their book, Empire to Umpire, as “the most shameful aspect of the whole miserable affair.” Not surprising, just like the Acadians 200 years previously, many of these people came back to Canada, for that was truly their home. Today their descendents stroll through Stanley Park and visit the plaque that commemorates the 53 Canadian Japanese who died in the First World War fighting for Canada. As they think about their grandfathers and great-uncles, one can only imagine what goes through their minds. Bob Burgel, Surrey

Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux and Justice Minister Shirley Bond listen to Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis explain research into the lack of smoke alarm protection in B.C.

Smoke alarms still lacking Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – Despite years of public education, almost 70 per cent of the houses that caught fire in B.C. in recent years still did not have a working smoking alarm. Many of those were low-income homes, rental units, many on aboriginal reserves and other rural locations, according to a study of residential fire reports done by the University of the Fraser Valley. Seniors, disabled people and young children were at greater risk of dying in a house fire. Justice Minister Shirley Bond and Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux (Sur-

rey-Panorama) revealed new support Monday for the B.C. government’s campaign to get a working smoke alarm in every home in the province. Smoke alarm maker Kidde Canada is donating 5,000 units with a retail value of $75,000 that will be distributed to B.C.’s most vulnerable populations this fall. And Black Press, whose publications reach 1.2 million B.C. homes, has pledged a publicawareness advertising campaign worth $350,000 to remind people to install or upgrade their smoke alarms. Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis, president of the Fire Chiefs Association of B.C., said the study used data from B.C.’s Office of

the Fire Commissioner from 2006 to 2011. The study suggests that 69 lives could be saved each year if homes across Canada had working smoke detectors, he said. “Smoke alarms give you time to escape from the fire – it seems pretty simple, doesn’t it?” Garis told a news conference at the B.C. legislature. “High-risk members of society are most likely to have a fire and least likely to have a working smoke alarm.” Garis emphasized that all smoke alarms should be replaced after 10 years, and batteries changed annually.

news Langley man takes lesser charge of manslaughter

‘Nikki Sixx’ pleads guilty A 30-year-old Langley man has pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter of a Surrey man shot and killed in 2009. Originally, the accused – who legally changed his name to Nikki Sixx Serafino – had been charged with second-degree murder, but on the first day of what was set to be his trial, he made the plea. Serafino, who was previously known as Jeffery Alan Smith, was arrested in April 2010, in connection with the death of 33-year-old Damon Michael Martin. It was the morning of May 12, 2009, around 8:45 a.m., when Martin was shot in the stomach

File photo

Hoffmann died May 26.

School trustee mourned

while inside a house in the Panorama Ridge area of Surrey. Martin stumbled out of the house, attempting to flee. He got as far as Highway 10 at 132 Street, when he collapsed to the roadside. A passerby called 911, believing Martin had been run over. When police arrived, they saw that Martin had been a victim of a shooting, not a hit-and-run. An air ambulance landed on the busy roadway and rushed Martin to hospital, but he died of his injuries. Police did not link the killing to drugs, gangs or organized

crime. It appears the victim and accused knew each other, and a dispute may have taken place at the house. Serafino, who police have learned is a huge fan of the heavymetal band Motley Crüe, changed his name to match that of the band’s guitarist. Nikki Sixx. Searches of court documents do list a Jeffery Alan Smith as having trouble with the law in Dawson Creek and Kelowna in the early 2000s. Martin was also known to police, but he seemed to be on a different track of late, police said at the time of his death.

Former Surrey school trustee Ken Hoffmann was remembered this week as an intensely patriotic Canadian who cared deeply about children. Hoffmann, a resident of Surrey, died Saturday. After a career as a special-education teacher on Vancouver Island, he retired to the Lower Mainland and served two threeyear terms as a Surrey Board of Education trustee, from 1993-’99, as a member of Surrey Electors Team. He “always kept children and their best interests at the centre of his objectives,” said district spokesperson, Doug Strachan. Surrey school board chair Laurae McNally remembers Hoffmann best for his performances at board meetings – which were broadcast on television. “Sometimes before he’d speak, he’d turn and open by saying, ‘I want to talk to all those people out there in television-land,’” she recalled, with a chuckle. During his time as a trustee, Hoffmann lobbied to have O Canada sung regularly in Surrey schools, as well as before board meetings – a tradition still done to this day.

Local book store grows South Surrey-based Black Bond Books has bought the flagship West Broadway location of Vancouver book discounter Book Warehouse. The store will reopen June 1, after several days refurbishment, joining the chain of 11 Black Bond locations in the Lower Mainland owned by Cathy and Mel Jesson, including South Surrey stores in Semiahmoo Centre and on 24 Ave. Book Warehouse CEO Sharman King announced in March he would be closing his chain’s four stores as leases expired, in advance of his retirement on May 26. Black Bond’s plans are to do only minor renovations to the store, at 632 West Broadway – a Vancouver icon for some 32 years – and it will retain the Book Warehouse name.

Volunteers build a community garden at Bethany Newton United Church on May 26 to grow fresh food.

Newton full of PosAbilities Rome wasn’t built in a day – but a community garden can be. Participants in an award-winning initiative created a 35-plot community garden at Bethany Newton United Church Saturday, with the help of dozens of volunteers, including 30 employees from Telus. Cheered on by Surrey Panorama MLA Stephanie Cadieux, the volunteers, part of the Can You Dig It (CYDI) initiative, turned 250 wood planks, 80 yards of soil and

two truckloads of woodchips into a garden that will allow participants to grow their own food and give back some to the Surrey food bank. CYDI, hosted by host organization PosAbilities – dedicated to helping children and adults with developmental disabilities lead meaningful and healthy lives – has already created 25 similar garden hubs in Metro Vancouver communities. The Newton garden is planned

to involve a broad range of community members, including youth, seniors and those who may be economically disadvantaged. Locating the garden at Bethany United was a natural choice, Rev. John Miller said in a news release. “The church was interested in joining the project as part of its goal to be more relevant to the community, both from a faith and practical perspective,” Miller said.

■ Our second annual South Surrey Festival at Kwomais Point Park will happen on Saturday, June 16 this year. This is a free event where the community will enjoy an amazing day for all ages, and is in conjunction with Ocean Park Day. Non-stop entertainment and live music will be on stage from noon to 4 p.m. and it will be a full afternoon of kids and family activities including kite-making, family mural art and all the oldfashioned games we love. Artisans of all types will be displaying and selling their art in Sanford Hall and the lodge will be set up as a place to relax. There will be a public art unveiling at 1 p.m. with special community and city speakers. Bring your whole family and your friends to experience a welcoming festival and to celebrate the beautiful community we live in. For more information, contact the rec centre at 604-592-6970. Terri Focker, a community service assistant for the City of Surrey, writes monthly on seniors activities.

Tradition nearly a century old

CALL TODAY FOR AN APPOINTMENT!

Hands across border It’s a 90-year tradition of friendship. The annual Hands Across The Border celebration, which began in 1922, will mark the anniversary Sunday, June 10 in Peace Arch State Park (just across the U.S. border). Youth groups from both Canada and the U.S. including Boy and Girl Scouts, Girl Guides, Brownies – and other organizations – will gather in the park from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. to commemorate the long-standing peace between both countries. Events will include an international parade and flag exchange, and student speakers. A particular highlight of this year’s celebration will be a presentation by the Surveyor’s Historical Society, cel-

ebrating the 150th anniversary of the original surveying work done on both sides of the border, with authentic reenactments by the Royal Engineers Living History Group and the U.S. Topographical Engineers Re-enactment group. Admission is free, but a Discover Pass ($30 annual fee) or a Day Pass ($10) will be required for vehicles to access the Peace Arch parking area (passes for sale at the park office). Free parking options area also available nearby. The I-5 freeway will be closed at exit 276 during the event, so vehicles travelling north to Canada will have to use exit 275 (Pacific Highway) to cross the border.

Fassbender said it’s a valuable chance for better communication between the TransLink board and the mayors, and he doesn’t think the council should wait on taking up the seats until next January, when the chair and vice-chair positions come up for election again. He rejected suggestions he or Walton would be hamstrung and put in an impossible situation by serving on TransLink, adding he would work to persuade the board to conduct most of its business publicly, not behind closed doors. The change to TransLink’s legislation giving two board seats to the mayors’ council was unveiled in May by Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom. Mayors have criticized it as a small step that doesn’t go nearly far enough to address their demands for more control over TransLink spending and priorities. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts, a former chair of the mayors’ council, said she doesn’t see a huge problem sending the chair and vice-chair to TransLink, but cautioned cities must press Victoria for much more meaningful improvements to restore democracy and accountability.

Six-lane Pattullo Bridge vital, forum hears Chris Bryan Black Press

A new, six-lane Pattullo Bridge is necessary to keep the region moving. That was the main message from most speakers at the Fraser River Discovery Centre in New Westminster last week to discuss the replacement of the 75-year-old span, an event co-hosted by the Surrey Board of Trade and the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce. “This is a really important project,” said TransLink roads manager Sany Zein. “It’s going to determine transportation in the region for the next 100 years. It’s a key corridor for movement in the region and for trade.” TransLink has targeted replacing the bridge by 2018, and would build it next to the existing span. According to speakers Zein, City of Surrey transportation manager Paul Lee, and Bernie Magnan of the Lower Mainland Chambers Transportation Panel, it’s a vital link, filling an important niche between the Port Mann Bridge to the east and the Alex Fraser Bridge to the west. “From Surrey’s point of view, this bridge is essential. It’s critical to the economic development of the city,” said Lee, adding that the links to major routes on either side should be well connected. “If these connections are not made, traffic and trucks will infiltrate Surrey’s neighbourhoods.” Increasing the Pattullo from four

to six lanes has caused concern among many Royal City residents that it will pour more regional traffic onto local streets, but TransLink says the new outside lanes will ensure trucks have a dedicated lane to keep them to the perimeter

on the truck routes, such as East Columbia. Magnan said that despite calls in New West to keep the Pattullo as a four-lane bridge, move it or even scrap it altogether, the Royal City can’t escape its geographical legacy.

“It’s unreasonable to expect this area to not continue to play its role as a transportation corridor and centre,” Magnan said. “The replacement of the Pattullo is something that needs to happen.” Magnan said in terms of the area economy, there is also a strong need to replace the 100-year-old railway bridge next to the Pattullo to ensure more efficient movement of goods and passengers, complete the stalled North Fraser Perimeter Road project and implement a consistent regional tolling policy. He said studies have shown congestion costs Metro Vancouver

upwards of $1.3 billion a year. New Westminster engineering director Jim Lowrie said truck traffic travelling from Deltaport to the Tri-Cities area using the Pattullo Bridge could be significantly eased if the soon-to-open South Fraser Perimeter Road (SFPR) was linked at the Port Mann Bridge. Currently, it won’t link up to Highway 1 until 176 Street (Highway 15) in Surrey. But Zein said this is a technical impossibility. “Engineers can do a lot, but there are a lot of things we cannot do. The SFPR is 50 metres below the Port Mann Bridge. They cannot be connected.” TransLink said it spent much time reviewing other options for the Pattullo prior to embarking on public consultation this year – including looking at four-lane options and alternate locations for the bridge, and has consultated with New Westminster and Surrey. But Lowrie said the transportation authority has gone about things the wrong way, presenting the issue as a done deal. Public dialogue should have started a couple of years ago, he said, by framing it as a problem to be resolved collaboratively. In his wrap up, he asked attendees to look at an aerial map of New Westminster, with its 19th-century road network and urban form. “Would you put a six-lane bridge there today if you were starting over?”

news New February holiday to be observed beginning in 2013

Family Day hurts B.C. economy, MLAs say Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark is pushing ahead with plans for a new Family Day holiday in February, after independent MLAs voted against the move. NDP MLAs supported B.C. Liberal members in the key vote to approve the new statutory holiday Tuesday. The first one will be next Feb. 11, and the second Monday in February each year after that. Independent MLAs criticized the move and forced a standing vote, after listing the costs it would impose on business. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business estimates that Family Day will cost the average small business more than $1,100 in wage costs, either paying employees to stay home or overtime to come to work. Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington reminded the legislature the new holiday is imposed on business after three increases in the minimum wage in the past year, an average $3,000 transition to the harmonized sales tax and soon a similar cost to switch back to the provincial sales tax next year. Clark promised the new holiday during her B.C. Liberal leadership campaign last year. It will join

Water sprinkling rules to tighten Jeff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouver residents now face possible fines if they sprinkle their lawns in the evening, in contravention of a ban approved last year by the regional board. Enforcement of the new Metro water conservation policy, which limits residential lawn sprinkling to three mornings per week between 4 and 9 a.m., was delayed until this summer to give some cities more time to notify residents. It’s in effect from June 1 to Sept. 30 and all area cities have now revised their bylaws to reflect the changes. But Stan Woods, a senior engineer at Metro, predicts there will be more emphasis on education than on enforcement. He said it will be up to individual cities as to how the policy is enforced. Surrey’s bylaw provides for fines of $200 for violators. Metro has plenty of drinking water available

most of the year but wants to control peakperiod summer use to forestall the eventual need for more reservoirs or storage tanks. Officials say morning sprinkling is more effective because less water evaporates than during evenings. Metro previously estimated morning-only sprinkling would cut regional water use at peak hours by 12 per cent and by three per cent on peak days. Although most cities were already directing residents to follow the new rules last summer, Woods was unable to say how effective the policy was in cutting use last year because of the unusually cool and rainy weather last June and July. “We saw very low peak-day demands last year, but a large part of that was because of the weather,” he said. Even-numbered addresses can sprinkle Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, while odd-numbered homes get Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

family time, it will also boost business for ski hills, hotels, restaurants and other tourist businesses during a slow time of year.

Independent Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson noted the provincial government’s own payroll cost of the new holiday will be $28 million, a sum that

could be applied to a range of pressing government problems. Simpson urged the government to wait and see if its budget is balanced as promised next year before imposing more costs and reducing B.C.’s productivity. Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen was the first independent to speak out ❝Adding a against Family Day, backed by new statutory John Cummins, holiday is a leader of feel-good idea the B.C. that is strictly Conservative politically Party that van motivated.❞ Dongen has joined. John van Dongen MLA “Adding a new statutory holiday is a feelgood idea that is strictly politically motivated,” van Dongen said. Clark and Labour Minister Margaret McDiarmid said choosing a date that is not in step with other western provinces or the President’s Day holiday in the U.S. would mean less out-oftown traffic at B.C. attractions for people with a day off.

arts & entertainment …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Semiahmoo Arts to call the Mel Edwards Centre home starting June 2

Opening marks fresh start for arts group Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

entennial Park’s best kept secret will be a secret no longer. Although it has been open and in use by arts groups for several months, Semiahmoo Arts’ new home in the park – the Mel Edwards Centre, located just next door to Centennial Arena – is about to go public in a big way. The grand opening of the refurbished multi-purpose space – big enough for art shows, workshops, rehearsals and informal or experimental performances by Peninsula arts groups – will take place this Saturday (June 2) 4-7 p.m. In a way, it’s a brand new slate for the arts community. And Semiahmoo Arts’ new manager, Melissa Sumner, said she sees the opening as marking the beginning of a new era for the organization, formerly known as the Community Arts Council of White Rock and District. “It’s going to be a lot different,” said Sumner, who noted the function of Semiahmoo Arts has evolved into far more of a support role for groups and individuals involved in various art disciplines. “We want to be the umbrella over the top, to get everybody feeling like this is a community of artists,” she added. “Our goal isn’t to be doing our own events – we’re interested in helping other people do their own thing.” In keeping with this, the grand opening – no admission required – promises refreshments and “a taste of the arts,” including performances by talented Semiahmoo Secondary jazz keyboardist Adrian Michael and his stellar combo, and members of the Peninsula-based Diskordance and XBa Dance companies, plus a sneak preview of an upcoming major show by a well-known local artist. Formal ceremonies, at 5:15 p.m. will feature a ribbon-

Sumner said she feels that

She said a poster. We can’t do it all, but that in addition to offering the we can definitely help with Centennial Park space to renters finding the way – and if we can’t

advise on something we can find someone else who can advise.” The new job as manager seems tailor-made for Sumner, who is married to Brian Sumner of popular local roots music group the Sumner Brothers. An artist herself – when she gets the time, she specializes in highly detailed brush and ink studies of natural subjects – she grew up in Ladner and was heavily involved in art while still in high school and at Kwantlen College. But, ironically, when she first moved to the Peninsula she was in a pilot training program studying to become a commercial pilot. Although she still loves flying, two factors weighed against that as a career choice, she said – the cost of training, and a realization that she wasn’t really the commercial pilot type. The call of the arts has always been strong, she admitted. Even when she was studying to become an interior designer in her last year of college, she found herself more interested in the architecture and art history aspects of the program. “I realized that was what I really wanted to be doing,” she said, adding that facilitating art environments has begun to appeal to her as much as creating art itself. While she enjoyed a stint teaching art history to children at White Rock’s 4Cats Studio, she found herself increasingly involved in the arts in the community as a member of the White Rock and South Surrey Art Society, she said. “When I saw the advertisment for the position of Semiahmoo Arts manager and realized I had the qualifications they were looking for, it seemed perfect,” Sumner said. “I could be helping promote the arts and be paid for it, too.” For more information on the opening and the Semiahmoo Arts space, call 604-536-8333 or visit www.semiahmooarts.com

Find out what over 10,000 investors already know

Series to feature local artist Sheila Symington is tenacious, like the plants in her flower gardens that inspire her. She has pursued painting in earnest for more than 35 years, ever since her children were grown. On June 7 at 7:30 p.m. as part of the Thursday Artist Talk speaker series at the Surrey Art Gallery, this Surrey-based artist will give an informal and engaging presentation about her development as a professional painter, and the progression from her earlier delicate watercolour paintings to her current strong painterly approach, primarily done in acrylics and mixed media. Her newer works are often on a silver, copper or gold leafed canvas, using the leaf as reflected light under acrylic glazes with the addition of found objects, hand-dyed papers, text, torn papers and handmade stamps. A selection of artworks will be shown. Admission is free. Symington has exhibited her work throughout B.C. for many years, and has received numerous awards. She is a member of the Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA), and has her associate member designation, which recognizes a consistently high standard of

Help them celebrate Grad safely!

It’s normal for kids to want to celebrate these rites of passage to the maximum, but the role of parents is to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

There’s nothing more touching than seeing your teenagers on the most exciting day of their lives, walking across the stage to receive their high school diploma or heading out for their formal. They radiate such self-conﬁdence, and their futures are bright with promise. Don’t let drugs and alcohol lead them away from that, toward tragedy. It’s normal for kids to want to celebrate these rites of passage to the maximum, but the role of parents is to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Parents have to do what they can to ensure that their kids’ lives are not ruined by a car accident caused by a young driver under the inﬂuence of alcohol or drugs. What to do to prevent a tragedy? Discuss the dangers with your teenagers whenever possible, especially as their big day approaches. Emphasize the fact that drug or alcohol consumption could spoil this memorable evening and that the consequences could even be fatal. Ensure that event organizers have planned security measures to prevent any substance abuse. Offer to be your teenager’s designated driver throughout the evening, even if that means staying up until after dawn. It’s becoming more common for parents to get together and offer a safe driving service to youngsters after the formal. If you promise not to complain, no matter where you have to go, no matter what time it is, your teenager might very well accept this win-win deal. Other options might be to hire a limousine service for them or rent them a hotel room within walking distance of the formal’s location. After all, the most important thing is to make sure that everybody gets home safe and sound, diploma in hand!

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

White Rock ball team wins just one of four at South Surrey Athletic Park

Tritons’ slide continues on home turf Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Former Vancouver Canucks coach Harry Neale once surmised that his sad-sack hockey team couldn’t win at home, always lost on the road, and that “my failure as a coach is I can’t think of any place else to play.” And though they play different sports, White Rock Tritons coach Russ Smithson can’t be blamed if he’s started to have similar thoughts about his struggling B.C. Premier Baseball League club. After playing the first six weeks of the season almost exclusively on the road, the Tritons – who sit 12th out of 13 teams with a 7-20 win-loss record – have finally settled into their home field at South Surrey Athletic Park, but the team has only seen a mild improvement. White Rock won just one of four home games on the weekend, splitting a Saturday doubleheader with the Victoria Mariners before being swept by the second-place Nanaimo Pirates Sunday. Earlier in the week, the Tritons did manage another win, beating the Whalley Chiefs 7-2 on May 22. On Saturday, the Mariners shut out the Tritons 5-0 in the opening game – White Rock managed just four hits and made three fielding errors – before the home team rebounded in the second contest, winning 10-2. Scott Doucet earned the win for White Rock, pitching six innings, scattering five hits while striking out three. Joel Lamont pitched the seventh frame, striking out one of the three batters he faced. The game was scoreless until the Tritons took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth inning – Tony Tabor reached base on a walk, then scored on a fielder’s choice, and Talon Van Horn singled and scored on an error later in the inning. The Tritons’ big inning came in

the fifth, when they scored seven, after four hits and two Victoria errors. The Mariners made three errors overall – and the team’s three pitchers walked seven – which aided the White Rock offence. In fact, just three of the Tritons’ 10 runs were earned, and the rest came as a result of fielding miscues. Tabor and Alex Webb each had two RBI to lead the charge. In Sunday’s 11-0 loss to Nanaimo, Pirate batters got to White Rock pitcher Adam Shumka in the first half of the game, scoring eight runs off six hits and four walks in four innings, before Brayden Bouchey pitched the final three frames in relief. Nanaimo designated hitter Bryan Odgers had a double and a triple, and the team smacked six extrabase hits in total. White Rock managed just two hits – both singles – off Pirates’ hurler Luke Skingle. The second game was a much closer affair. Nanaimo scored ones in the second and twice in the fifth inning, and White Rock managed it’s lone run in the bottom of the seventh inning, when Van Horn scored on a Lamont double. Webb was tagged with the loss, striking out four while allowing just one earned run in six innings on the mound. Despite the team’s struggles, the playoffs are not completely out of reach for the Tritons. They’re only five games back of the eighthplace Abbotsford Cardinals for the PBL’s final playoff spot, though they would have to jump the North Delta Blue Jays, Vancouver Cannons and Parksville Royals in the process. White Rock travelled to Abbotsford Wednesday for a game against the Cardinals, but the game was played after Peace Arch News’ deadlines.

Become a tree watering partner! Like our kids, our trees need nurturing in their youth. In warm summer weather trees get thirsty and need water to replenish their ﬂuids.

If you have a City street tree in front of your home, still in its youth, you can help give it a strong start by regularly watering it during hot, dry weather.

Due to the success of last year’s program, we are again offering reﬁllable watering bags to Surrey residents to water 1-3 year old City street trees in front of their homes. These “water smart” bags slowly release water into the soil over an eight hour period, reducing run-off and evaporation. Watering deeply once or twice a week is better for the tree and saves you time.

Get involved!

You can help by requesting a watering bag for the young City planted tree(s) in front of your home. We deliver the bags in June and pick them up in September. All you need to do is ﬁll it up once a week.

sports South Surrey, Cloverdale athletes among medal contenders at Swangard meet

Locals could score big at track provincials Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Gary Ahuja photo

Elgin Park’s Jake Hanna.

If all goes well for south-end athletes this weekend at BC High School Track and Field Championships, a bushelful of medals could be headed back to South Surrey and Cloverdale schools. The two-day event, which is to be held at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium, begins Friday with preliminary heats and a handful of medal finals, and wraps up Saturday with a day full of final races and medal presentations. And longtime Semiahmoo Secondary track and field coach

Dr. Hansen Liang

Maureen de St. Croix – who retired from teaching this year but is still involved with the school’s track team – expects big things from local athletes, both from her squad and others. “It could be a very, very big year for South Surrey and Cloverdale schools,” she predicted, adding that Langley’s Walnut Grove Gators – with such a large roster of athletes – are still the likely favourite for the overall team title. Among the local favourites are Semiahmoo’s Meghan Palesch, who is coming off an injury but is still among the contenders for a podium finish in the senior girls

100-m and 400-m hurdles, and Alison Williams, who won silver in the 800-m last year, and could very well end up on top this time around. Elgin Park’s Lexi Reimer will also run the 100-m and 200-m races, and teammate Reta Dobie will compete in senior girls high jump and 1,500-m. Max Hanna will also compete in javelin. Earl Marriott Secondary’s Deon Clifford could also leave Swangard with a medal or two around his neck; he’ll run the 3,000-m and the 2,000-m steeplechase. At Fraser Valleys earlier this month, he won the steeple event

and took home silver in the 3,000. High jumper Taylor Neveu will also compete for EMS. A handful of Lord Tweedsmuir athletes will also be in the medal mix, de St. Croix predicted, led by Liam McKay, who will run the 800-m, and Ben Ingvaldson, who will compete in the hammer, shotput and discus throws in the Grade 8/9 championship. Also in the Grade 8/9 championship, Elgin Park’s Jake Hanna will run the 100-m and 400-m hurdles. “All these kids, they’re top-eight for sure – at least,” de St. Croix said of the Peninsula contingent.

The 2012 BC Summer Games are coming to Surrey July 19-22!

When we were very young my brother and I were taken in by a childless couple who raised us as their own. Even though we were not legally adopted our “parents” treated us both as their own, always referred to us as their children, raised us in a nice atmosphere, educated us, and got us started on the path of life. My career ultimately took me to a distant city and I spent a lot of time traveling internationally. I gradually drifted away from my parents, and except for the occasional telephone call, my career kept me too busy to spend any time with them. As our parents declined in health, my brother and his wife devoted much of their life helping them out and later moved into the basement of their house to deal with health problems. My parents have now both died and their whole estate was bequeathed to my brother. I am told that there is legislation where I can sue the estate and get a substantial portion of it. Is this true?

Real Estate Corner

with Derrick Sims

We have our home for sale and recently received an offer from a buyer. Problem is, the offer isn’t quite what we wanted. What should we do?

The first thing you should do is analyze the offer carefully with your agent. Here’s why. Sellers frequently examine just one or two parts of an offer: price and financing. While these items are important, there may be other areas that can make the offer either more or less attractive. These include: down payment, closing costs, financing time limit, closing date, type of financing, personal property contained in the offer, and any contingencies related to the offer. By examining the offer with your agent, there are three actions you can take: First, you can accept the offer as is. If you do this, you have a binding agreement. Second, if the offer is totally unsatisfactory, you can, of course, reject it altogether. This option closes the door on the offer. Sometimes it’s the right action, but I would suggest the third alternative. Third, make a counter-offer. If everything is satisfactory except the price, for example, you can ask for more and submit the counter-offer back to the buyers. Or, if there are other elements of the offer you want to counter – say, for example, they want to close in two weeks – you can ask for a month. Keep in mind that an offer you have in hand will be binding as soon as you’ve signed it. Any changes you make to the offer will require the buyer to initial or sign it again.

The Flats on Georgia ﬁnds a home in Chinatown

‘Thoughtful livability’ at work When Panther Constructors decided to build their latest development in Chinatown, The Flats on Georgia, they ran into a few emotional obstacles. “How do you build in a part of the city with so much history?” asks Panther Director Brian Low. “We have to do justice to the neighbourhood.” “You have to carefully stitch a patch into the existing quilt,” says Scott Brown of Colliers International Residential Marketing. The 28 one- and two-bedroom condominiums include nine-foot ceilings, and plenty of floor-to-ceiling windows that will allow natural light to pour in.

Outside, the building rises nine storeys from the street, and features contemporary Chinatown architecture like slotted shutters, Juliet balconies in some plans and ground level retail. “The crux of the unit is ‘thoughtful livability,’” Low says. With open concept kitchens, polished concrete flooring throughout and custom millwork, it’s clear that no detail has been overlooked. “(We) spent a lot of time thinking (about) important details,” Low says. “Personally, I haven’t lived in a place that feels more like a community ... It’s like a small town inside a big city.” Visit theflatsongeorgia.com or call 604-790-8744 for more information.

tables, chairs and benches, and paved garden paths and green space. Surrey City Centre “is going to be a gathering space,” says Lin. “It’s going to be the most popular space in Greater Vancouver.” The civic plaza currently holds the City Centre Library and will eventually be home to Surrey’s new City Hall. A new performing arts centre, Simon Fraser University and the Surrey Art Gallery are also nearby. Almost any amenity or service you could imagine is in the area, from shopping at the Central City mall to grabbing a bite to eat at one of the local restaurants. If it’s a bit of outdoor recreation you’re looking for, you’ll be able to find it at one of the many parks near Wave, including Holland Park,

home of the annual Fusion Festival and Movies Under the Stars. The North Surrey Recreation Centre, featuring a pool and several ice rinks, is right beside the Surrey Central SkyTrain station, just minutes from Wave. Wave is within easy walking distance of transit, so you’ll be able to leave your car behind. There are several bus routes and SkyTrain stations in the area. “It’s easy to zip to central Surrey and back to Vancouver,” Lin says. Surrey has quickly become a large urban centre in its own right, separate from Vancouver itself. “Places like Surrey, suburban centres, are going to be the next Vancouver east side,” Lin says, citing that area’s popularity with buyers until its home prices began to rise. “To get that kind of pricing, you have to go out to the suburban areas. This area is going to take off,” he says. Homes at Wave start at $179,900. For more information, visit www. waveliving.ca or call 604-951-9283.

‘This area is going to take off’

A new Wave of style in Surrey City Centre by Kerry Vital

Rize Alliance is bringing some high style to Surrey’s City Centre with its newest condominium project, Wave. The two high-rise towers will hold 235 suites per tower, and with generous balconies included in every home, it’s no surprise that many have already been sold. Many of the outdoor spaces are larger than 100 square feet. “It’s unheard of to bring that kind of outdoor space to condos,” says Will Lin, president of Rize Alliance. The architecture is definitely the defining exterior feature of Wave. As its name suggests, it’s built in a gently undulating wave pattern that will make it an iconic part of the City Centre skyline. Each floor is curved differently than the one above and below it, so no two homes are identical. “People can be proud of (it) as they drive up to their home,” says Lin. Curb appeal is definitely one of the many reasons people are choosing to live at Wave, along with the affordable prices and the location, which is rapidly growing in popularity. Another special feature at Wave is inside the suites. Ingenious movable walls mean that you can change your home to suit your every need, whether it’s closing off a space for visiting overnight guests or opening it up to have more room to entertain. “The movable walls create space as necessary,” Lin says. He explains that this gives homeowners double the possibilities for their home. There are a variety of one- and two-bedroom floorplans available, ranging from approximately 522 to 780 square feet. The living area features contemporary wood-tone laminate flooring, while the bedroom includes luxurious nylon custom carpeting that you can sink your toes into. Because of the design of the building there is a beautiful view in every direction, so the large windows let in tons of natural light and afford you a daily taste of your personal stunning view. The kitchens are perfect for entertaining or a night in with a glass of wine and a good book. With polished quartzite countertops complemented by soft-close durable wood grain cabinets

and stainless-steel appliances, you may be inspired to become a gourmet chef. A typical condo kitchen, this is not. The bathrooms are chic and cool, with their own set of polished quartzite countertops and porcelain floor tile. A brushed aluminum mirror lends a little elegant touch to the space where you may spend much of your time getting ready for the day or a night out. When you’re ready for a bit of entertainment, the development has some pretty great amenities, from a state-of-the-art fitness centre, a theatre room, a library and lounge areas with a kitchen, among many other amenities. Wave is also pet-friendly, with a pet wash/grooming room. A community garden is also on-site, as well as an open space on the ground level that will hold a barbecue area with

“

People can be proud of (it) as they drive up to their home,” says Rize Alliance President Will Lin.

The homes at Wave are elegant and modern, with wood-tone laminate flooring and large windows to let the natural light flood in. With several different floorplans available, you’ll have no trouble finding the perfect home.

Community full of beach fun Waterfront activities in abundance on the sunny Peninsula he beaches of the Semiahmoo Peninsula attract visitors from around the world, lured by the scenic views, relaxing strolls and the many restaurants and cafés.

Horseshoe-shaped Semiahmoo Bay has always been a popular spot, going back thousands of years to the days when the Coast Salish, Semiahmoo and Kwantlen First Nations would settle in Crescent Beach during the summer months for hunting and fishing. When the shallow waters of the bay recede at low tide, a broad eight-kilometre long stretch of sand is uncovered revealing White Rock Beach and the migration of pedestrians begins from the 2.5 kilometre-long beach promenade. The city's namesake white rock, a 486-ton behemoth, sits to the east of the famous 1,500 ft. long pier. At West Beach, home to the famous pier, rustic cafes rub shoulders with fine-dining restaurants, boutique merchants and spas. Pedestrians can also sample live music and art displays. It's possible to see children diving from the lower level docks of the pier, and older people dangling a fishing line or setting traps for crabs, which can be seen on the sea floor through the clear waters. The less-populated East Beach, which borders Semiahmoo Park, is a family favourite and perfect spot for a picnic. When the tide is out, the huge sandy area can be found filled with kite-flyers, sandcastle-builders and sunbathers. In the height of the summer, East Beach makes a great swimming spot, with the hot sands warming the water as the tide comes in. It's also a popular place for skim boarders to glide along the shoreline. On the west side of the Semiahmoo Peninsula lies South Surrey's Crescent Beach, slightly quieter than nearby White Rock Beach but offering equally beautiful views. Visitors can take a relaxing stroll down the graveled walkways, go for a swim in the warm waters, fly a kite on the sandy beach or just soak up some

A warm, sunny day at Crescent Beach is a huge draw for residents and tourists. of the sun. Beecher Street – known as the Marine Drive of Crescent Beach – boasts trendy bistros, live entertainment, deep wine cellars and art galleries. The village of Crescent Beach was ﬁrst settled by Walter Blackie in 1871, who purchased 150 acres of area land for $50 from the Royal Engineers. One of the best bird-watching areas in the country, named Blackie Spit after the early settler, is located just a short walk north of Crescent Beach. Also in the neighbourhood is Camp Alexandra, which hosts numerous

events and services, from recreational activities to support groups. With plenty of free parking and lifeguards on duty in July and August, Crescent Beach is a great place for locals and tourists alike to enjoy the sunny, seaside atmosphere the Semiahmoo Peninsula is famous for. While the village of Crescent Beach was sparsely inhabited until the completion of the Great Northern Railway in 1909, which connected the seaside community to the rest of Surrey, humans have inhabited the fragile sandy spit for more than 5,000 years.

Community of arts and culture T

he arts scene on the Semiahmoo Peninsula is evolving – particularly in White Rock – where a banner season of White Rock Players Club shows and rental productions is helping to establish the Coast Capital Playhouse on Johnston Road as a cultural hub. "Since we did the rebuild of the theatre, we've pursued – as well as our own productions – making it accessible for other groups," said Players Club president Dave Baron. "Because we do our our own five shows, the opportunity to slot other people in is limited, but this year we've managed to fit in some very good shows, starting with the Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society's The Mikado." Baron said it's in the club's best interest to see good-quality guest productions in the theatre. "We always try to attract good shows," he said. "What we find is that our audience doesn't really understand who's doing what. If a renter comes in with a good show, it's great for us. We all have the same audience and we try just as hard to make sure our renters get a good show as we do with our own shows." Also boosting the arts in White Rock is a new home for Semiahmoo Arts in the Mel Edwards Centre at Centennial Park, and a continued commitment by the organization, in partnership with White Rock Leisure Services, to present art exhibitions at the community centre at Miramar Village (the Bosa Towers). And there are even more changes waiting in the wings for the Peninsula's art community, starting with a planned expansion

Contributed photo

Cast from The Mikado presented by Coast Capital Playhouse. of arts space at the South Surrey Recreation Centre due by late 2013. The City of Surrey – as part of its Cultural Plan – has approved a 4,000-square-foot addition to the recreation centre, which will contain an office space for Semiahmoo Arts, a board-room-sized meeting space for arts groups, a pottery studio and a large multi-purpose art studio for everything from exhibitions, workshops and courses to film showings and rehearsals. According to the city's arts services manager, Sheila McKinnon, it's only the first phase of planned expansion of arts space in South Surrey, which, in the second phase, would include part of a multi-use public-private partnership development for cityowned property at 19 Avenue and 152 Street. This could add as much as 20,000 to 25,000 square-feet 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. Recent White Rock initiatives to promote quality street busking have enlivened the already busy spring, summer and fall atmosphere on Marine Drive and in the uptown area, while a number of restaurants and pubs – particularly on White Rock's waterfront strip and in Crescent Beach – are also venues for live entertainment.

White Rock Players Club/Coast Capital Playhouse The White Rock Players Club, which has a long and distinguished history dating back to the early 1940s – including a 1958 clubs production of Playboy of the Western World which swept the top awards at the Dominion Drama Festival in Halifax, N.S. – is the owner and resident company of White Rock's community theatre, now known as the Coast Capital Playhouse.

In addition to its longcelebrated annual Christmas pantomime, the club continues to present productions aiming at the highest standards for community theatre. The club's recent show The Lion in Winter, directed by Dale Kelly, was selected at the Theatre B.C. Greater Vancouver Zone to go forward to the Theatre B.C. Mainstage ﬁnals. The Coast Capital Playhouse is also the venue for a wide variety of rental productions, including the recent wellreceived presentation of The Mikado by the Fraser Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society, concerts presented by Rock.It Boy (including the July 5 Piano Man, a tribute to the music of Elton John and Billy Joel, starring Ryan Langevin) and the upcoming The Mousetrap, the Agatha Christie classic presented by Peninsula Productions. The next scheduled White Rock Players Club production is the popular farce Lend Me A Tenor (June 13-30), a tale of backstage mayhem and misadventure at Cleveland's Opera House in 1934, directed by Ryan Mooney, whose Fighting Chance Productions co-production with the Players Club last season – Nunsense – was a late summer hit. Mooney and Fighting Chance return Aug. 8-29 with another co-production with the Players Club, the ever-popular musical Little Shop of Horrors.

Semiahmoo Arts Formerly the Community Arts Council of White Rock & District, the organization see page 20

Peace Arch News • DISCOVER THE PENINSULA • 2012 ◗ 19

Home of countless entertainment groups from page 19 now known as Semiahmoo Arts was established in January 1974 to stimulate an awareness of the arts in relation to the district and its growth. Under the leadership of president Barbara Cooper and guidance of new manager Melissa Sumner, Semiahmoo Arts has evolved into an umbrella organization supporting initiatives from the community in the arenas of visual and performing arts as well as art education. With a new home and a small multipurpose rehearsal and performance space at the Mel Edwards Centre at Centennial Park in White Rock (adjacent to the new Centre For Active Living), Semiahmoo Arts is also looking forward to having office and multi-purpose space as part of the planned expansion of the South Surrey Recreation Centre. The organization also presents the Art On Display program, in partnership with the City of White Rock, at the city's community centre (the first floor of the uptown Miramar Village development). Until June 15 the community centre gallery will present Digital Art, a juried show of pieces exploring the potential of digital media for artistic expression. From mid-June through August the venue will house a showcase of work by internationally known (and White Rock-raised) artist Richard Tetrault.

Centre, but many other exhibits are planned for a variety of venues across the Peninsula, including Semiahmoo Arts, the White Rock Museum and Archives, White Rock Library and Laura's Fashion Fabrics. Information: www.outsidetheboxwhiterock.ca

Bard comes to Crescent Beach P eninsula residents can step into the world of William Shakespeare this summer, at the first-ever Shakespeare By the Sea festival set in Crescent Beach. On Aug. 15-19, Beach House Theatre will put on a production of Shakespeare’s enchanting comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The story will be brought to life on with the natural stage of Blackie Spit Park with Crescent Beach in the background. The outdoor, but sheltered, production will include five performances spread out over the five days and will be able to accommodate 200-250 people under an arching tent. Organized by Candace Radcliffe, Earl Marriott Secondary drama teacher with help from her Beach House Theatre creative partners, former Marriott drama guru Rick Harmon, technical director Jeff McEvoy and Marriott grad/set designer Nicole Chartrand, the show was inspired by various Shakespeare festivals in North America. “I am very inspired by the Oregon

Russel Chartrand and Marina Benitez-Lazzarotto will be involved with the show. Shakespeare Festival and Bard on the Beach, plus I’m a lifelong Crescent Beacher. That beach view mixed with an excellent show like A Midsummer Night’s Dream, I just think it would be the perfect evening,” Radcliffe said. The event has been in production for two years, Radcliffe said, and although it started out with humble beginnings, it has ﬂourished over the last few months. “It started out as a small idea with

four people, and how it grew from there is kind of amazing,” she said. On of Shakesepeare’s most popular works for the stage, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is played all over the world, and now, Crescent Beach can be added to that list. “I think A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of Shakespeare’s best plays and it’s perfect for a summer night,” Radcliffe said. It’s got that sort of magic quality.”

WRFM manager Helen Fathers and former market president Bruce Ketchum get ready for another year of local produce.

Tasty tradition on the Peninsula The White Rock Farmers' Market is back

he annual White Rock Farmers' Market is back for another season of fresh, local produce, baked goods, preserves and so much more. More than 60 vendors have signed up for the celebration of all things local including a "cheese man" and a new chocolate vendor, said WRFM manager and White Rock city councillor Helen Fathers. "We were looking for a cheese vendor for so long, so eventually I just Tweeted it out to the Twitterverse or whatever you call it, and he got back to me. It will be great," she said. "Each year, we grow and we get bigger and bigger. We are starting off this year with as many vendors as we had at the end of last year." Many people are becoming more aware of their food, she said, which is why farmers' markets are becoming so popular in White Rock and all over the province. "It's so important to know where your food comes from," she said. But it's not just the food that will be a draw to the market this year, Fathers said, noting there will be live entertainment throughout the season

Local produce a big draw to the market. from local performers such as Tommy Alto, Sonic, Doug Towle and Chanel Stasiuk. "It's important for people to know it's not just groceries," she said. "It's a whole entertainment package. We have a really cool, young street dancer who will be dancing at the market and a magician who will be performing every other week."

And with so many people enjoying tasty treats and great entertainment in the heart of the city, there is sure to be an inﬂux of patrons who will visit local establishments in the area, Fathers said. "Those little stores on Russell Avenue and the area, they see a ripple effect because of the mass amount of people in the town centre on a Sunday," she said. "It spurs business and that's great." This year is also the start of what Fathers hopes will be an annual tradition to honour her late friend and colleague, Mary Hartwell, who passed away last year after being diagnosed with cancer. For Hartwell's memorial, the family has asked that people donate at the market instead of purchasing ﬂowers, Fathers said. The money raised will go towards a scholarship fund for a local person who is going to school to study nutrition, agriculture or something health-related. "It's in memory of Mary and we really hope that it will become a yearly thing," Fathers said. "It's a wonderful way to honour her."

Find something to cheer about Local sports provide year-round excitement

ooking for a sports fix this summer? Look no further than the Semiahmoo Peninsula, which will host all types of action this year to keep sports fans busy and entertained. Two of the biggest events of the year take place less than a week apart this summer, with the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship running from June 30-July 9, followed quickly thereafter by the Tour de White Rock, which hits the hilly streets of the seaside city from July 13-15. The Canadian Open, now in its third year, features some of the world's top girls and women's softball teams in four different tournaments, and is always a popular draw at both Softball City (2201 148 St.) and Cloverdale Athletic Park (6330 168 St.). Last year, thousands came through the turnstiles despite less-than-ideal weather. The other high profile event is, of course, the three-day Tour de White Rock, which attracts world-class professional and amateur cyclists as part of BC Superweek. This year's event, the 33rd annual, begins Friday, July 13 at 5:30 p.m. with the Just Giver Amateur Hill Climb, in which any amateur cyclist can sign up to test their cycling skills by pedalling up Buena Vista Avenue, from Oxford Street to just beyond Martin Street. Following the all-comers climb – which debuted last year – at 7 p.m., the Tour riders will strap in and give it a go themselves in one of the most popular and spectator-friendly events of the summer. The following day, the Tour de White Rock's criterium will hit the streets, as cyclists zip past fans on a short, often-crowded one-kilometre course through uptown White Rock that includes Johnston Road, Five Corners, White Rock City Hall and White Rock Elementary. The criterium races are some of the most exciting of the weekend, as cyclists ride in tight proximity to one another, reaching speeds up to 70 km/h. The first race, featuring men's category 3 and 4 riders, hits the pavement at 4 p.m., followed by the pro women at 5 p.m. and the men's pro category race at 6 p.m.

The Tour de White Rock draws spectators from all over the Lower Mainland. The three-day spectacle's main event comes Sunday morning at 9 a.m., when hundreds of riders line up along Marine Drive for the Peace Arch News Road Race, which event organizers call "one of the most prestigious and historic races in North America." The race is certainly a grueling one, as cyclists traverse a hilly course – full of long climbs, tight turns and breathtaking scenery – of either 80-km (women's race) or 130-km (men's). Visit www.tourdewhiterock.ca for more. Outside of the Canadian Open and Tour de White Rock – the busiest two-week span on the athletic calendar – there's plenty of other activities to keep sports-minded residents and visitors entertained throughout the spring and summer. The White Rock Tritons baseball teams – both the U18 and U16 squads – have been on the ﬁeld since early April. Most weekends they can be found at South Surrey Athletic Park, or, if they're playing on the road against their crosstown rival North Delta Blue Jays or Whalley Chiefs, just a few minutes up the road. Younger ballplayers are also a common sight in the spring and summer months, as the White RockSouth Surrey Baseball Association counts more than 1,000 players among its ranks.

On the softball diamond, the White Rock Renegades are one of the country's top elite-level girls fastpitch programs, and offer fans an opportunity to watch future college and even future Canadian national team members hone their skills. As summer comes to a close, attention turns to the gridiron, where the White Rock-South Surrey Titans minor football association plays Sundays throughout the late summer and fall. And at the high school level, though Earl Marriott Secondary's senior football team folded midway through last season, the program is still strong at the younger grade levels, and will likely be back this fall on the school's newly renovated ﬁeld. Indoors, the Surrey Eagles will look to improve upon another successful season in the BC Hockey League starting in mid-September. Last season, the junior hockey team, which plays out of South Surrey Arena, had its best record since the championship-winning team of 2005; the Eagles lost in conference ﬁnals to the Powell River Kings. The team will lose a handful of its top players to the NCAA ranks, but will retool and likely be one of the league's most competitive again in 2012/13.

New festival coming Long-known for it’s arts and music scene, it’s no wonder that the Peninsula will be host to another music festival this summer. The ﬁrst-ever White Rock International Music Festival, scheduled for the weekend of July 21-22, is set to feature all genres of music, from symphonic to rock, pop and jazz, all on a 30-by-30-foot stage. The festival will include eight or nine acts each day from the afternoon till the evening, with an emphasis on acts from outside the Peninsula. Best of all, the festival is free of charge. Organizer Janice Savage of Beyond Scarlett Arts and Entertainment, plans to have two headliners – one for each day the festival runs. “For years people have been saying we should do a music-only festival and music is where my passion lies,” Savage said. “Having a music-only event will centralize the music.” Because of the of the international appeal of the acts, there is sure to

be a large crowd from the Peninsula and the Lower Mainland, and even further abroad, Savage said. “We have got people inquiring from the United States and we even have people applying to play from Texas,” she said. “There will be people from Vancouver and many other areas who will be playing.” Savage has estimated the festival could draw 2,000 people to the seaside community’s waterfront to enjoy the music, which will be split up in sets lasting approximately 3045 minutes. “It’s really important to have festivals like this because it gives emerging artists an opportunity to do two or three songs in front of a large crowd,” Savage said. Another feature of the festival has to be the food. Because the festival is being planned in co-ordination with the city’s BIA, there will be a food village with strong representation from local restaurants dishing out the best White Rock has to offer.

Team Canada took on team USA in the final game of the Canadian Open Fastball Championships at Softball City in 2010.

Softball championships return S

ome of the world's most talented softball players will be back in town this summer, taking part in an event that through the years has become one of South Surrey's most popular. The Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship is back for a third year – and the event's precursor, the Canada Cup, extends back to the early 1990s – at Softball City and Cloverdale Athletic Park from June 30 until July 9. The event will feature four separate tournaments – women's international, women's elite, Futures (under 19) and Showcase (under 16) – and in the past has routinely featured more than 80 teams, and more than 1,300 players, in total, making it the largest women's fastpitch tournament in Canada, and third largest in the world. The two youth tournaments will feature some of the best up-andcoming talent from a number of organizations throughout B.C. – including the host White Rock Renegades – and the United States, while the women's division, which runs from July 4-9, draws many of

the worlds' top national squads, including the fan favourite Canadian team. In past seasons, Canada's roster has featured plenty of players familiar to local softball enthusiasts – last year, South Surrey's Melanie Matthews, North Delta's Jennifer Yee and White Rock Renegade alum Jocelyn Cater all wore the Maple Leaf at Softball

City. In 2012, the top six ranked national teams, including Canada, will compete for the Canadian Open women's title, which last year was won by Japan, 7-0 over the United States. This year's event also acts as a precursor the 2012 Women's World Championship, which is to be held the following weekend in Whitehorse, thus ensuring the competition in Surrey will be as ﬁerce as ever as teams ramp up for a world title. “In 2012, we anticipate an extremely competitive tournament in the women’s international championship division as more top teams and even more high-calibre players compete in preparation for (world championship)," said tournament chair Greg Timm. Local teams in the Futures and Showcase events include squads from the Renegades, Delta Heat, Surrey Storm and South Surrey-White Rock Thunder associations.
